  • I wish they would too but with prices on memory and everything else going up, I don’t think they will release new hardware anytime soon.

    For those that don’t have a GPU that can run games as they’d like, they will have to rely on upscaling since even current GPUs are over MSRP again.

    Hopefully the market changes and they release better hardware but until the AI bubble pops idk if it will




  • There are many quotas on agricultural products from south America to the point where major South American agro exports can only supply 1-10% of total current EU consumption tariff free. I believe honey was highest around 10% of total EU demand with most being around 1-3% such as for beef. For most agro products, South America exports more stuff to Europe than the tariffs would cover

    To mee, it seems these quotes probably mean there will be little change in agro exports from South America since the tariff on those items have only been slightly relieved. We should definitely protect EU farmers but we shouldn’t hold up the rest of the economy for them.







  • I don’t know anything about this pressure campaign you mentioned but do they still work with them? It’s not like Kurzgesagt have no say over what the Gates Foundation does. If they still work together then that’s not great but the Gates Foundation has also done lots of good stuff too, no? Idk what outweighs what but I think there are organisations that are far worse that we should be concerned about.


  • I mean, Linus’s video about a fire truck toy was a gag and that was ages ago. The gags have always been big parts of the videos.

    If you want pure information and performance metrics, ltt isn’t the place to go for sure. But not every video needs to be dense on plots and performance metrics. They didn’t even start out doing that, they transitioned to that from doing unboxings. He’s said himself they aren’t doing that on the main channel anymore cause others have carved that niche for themselves.

    They definitely do more shovelware content these days but unfortunately it does seem to be what big creators do to stay relevant


  • Almost the first half of the video is them saying we haven’t been meeting any climate change targets.

    I don’t think it’s copium to highlight the good things that have been changing like the fact wind and solar are straight up the cheapest energy sources. If there was no good news they wouldn’t have made the video


  • Tbh, they always had the gags in their videos. I think the do make some really informative and interesting content. Especially their tours of factories or other industrial equipment.

    Where they have irked me is with their reaction style videos or their ‘top things to buy for whatever holiday’. Whilst they can be entertaining, it is low effort content that often isn’t that great. I wish they didn’t do them and did more reviews rather than just doing unbox+ on short circuit


  • What video do they deny climat change in? If anything, I find their videos explain the concepts of how it’s happening and what it will result it (bad shit) super well.

    Imo, I respect them cause they are transparent with the comunity. Of they make a mistake, they will reupload a video of required. Few other channels (especially as big as them) would do that
