Zhaoxin ZX-E / KX-6000 CPU review
- tambourine_man 6y agoI find that Linus has some good content from time to time, but I can’t bare the format. The jokes, screaming, unreal exaggerated emotions. Puts me off instantly.
- glouwbug 6y agoBut that's just youtube. "Engaging content" is them yelling at us to smash the like button, and _hit the bell_
- tambourine_man 6y agoOften, yes, but than you have 3blue1brown. MKBHD and Jonathan Morrison also have a more tasteful, relaxed tone. I love hardware reviews but not this format and I don’t really care for games. I was wondering if there’s something akin to Anandtech’s style review on YouTube.
- garyfirestorm 6y agoI watch savagegeese for car reviews
- roneythomas6 6y agoWas about to mention this.

- justicezyx 6y agoNote that Linus tech review is targeting mass market consumers, not expert or semiexpert. The craziness you mentioned is typical YouTube banter fillers. That was not only expected, they are actually useful. Otherwise the video would be unbearable. I don't expect those to be problem for the channel's main audience.
- ksec 6y agoBut he does a very good job in educating his target audience. I have been thinking lately, because the cost of making a video is higher, there is a barrier of entry and people tends to do a much better job in research and presenting information. Comparing to blog post or mot webpage it seems we have dumped it down so much the noise are increasing while the signal are shrinking rapidly.

- andrewstuart 6y agoI really like Linux Tech Tips but they'd benefit from getting some savvy tech women on the team. It's a little unbalanced at the moment.
- laserdancepony 6y agoJust for the sake of it?
- jokowueu 6y agoLTT has 4 females on staff https://linusmediagroup.com/our-team https://linusmediagroup.com/our-team Maxine was a reviewer previously but she quit
- cbozeman 6y agoYou should blame the Big 5 personality traits, not Linus.
- rowanG077 6y agoThere aren't many savy tech women compared to men. So it's not surprising they are mostly men.
- unixhero 6y agoInteresting topic. However: Linus Techtips, blargh. I can't stand his format. It is unwatchable for me, so I'm out. There is a proper story submitted here, on that CPU https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25589081 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25589081
- cbozeman 6y agoThis is why I like Wendell from Level1Techs. He's the quintessential tech guy who has really in-depth knowledge and insight coupled with a bit of bearable craziness... although I actually like Ryan more because he's basically me.
- AshamedCaptain 6y agoFrom when I need to watch a video review for some product (which are still useful for physical products where ergonomy/appereance/usability is a factor), the more time the reviewer himself appears on screen, the more useless the review. I want to watch the product, not the reviewer... Oh god.
