@@Kigoz4Life do you realise that when they say stealing they don't actually mean that the stole it? They're allowed to check stuff out of their inventory I'm sure. Obvs they're not just letting people walk out the door with thousands of $$
I love, how everyone who normaly isn´t infront of the camera is still like a very funny and entertaining person. someone is doing a great job hiring people!
I remember when Linus started out doing LTT way back it seemed like Linus was the front man and there was an office or two of mysterious next level computer wizzes behind the scenes doing all the hard work. Then LTT expanded and became more transparent and I thought we'd met everyone. Turns out there IS a few offices of minions in the background, or at least one.
It's fun to see all the faces from behind the scenes that we don't typically see. Really makes LMG feel like this big somewhat chaotic family. Also love the hair
This series is so good, I think to everyone. Employees getting a ton of free shit, the channel getting good content out of it, and Intel getting great marketing out of it.
I freaking love this series. It's great seeing them all together, but seeing everyone get that QT with the boss and peeking in at their personalities, etc. is so much fun.
You think Intel just gives thousands to each Linus tech worker for free? its directly bribing every worker to skew their opinions of Intel products when they review them.
I just love that blank look Linus has when he mentions "I have this long ethernet cable I stole from work" after already having found a half dozen devices that ended up in his house that should be in the office.
Ah yes and I got fired for keeping 10 dollars out of 300 dollars of tips I got as waiter one night. So I shake my head at people saying Linus is a bad boss. If my old boss showed up saying he's got 5 grand to remake my home entertainment system, I would check myself into a psych ward because I clearly lost my mind.
@@221b-l3t Linus is not a bad boss. But everyone that has a company and knows his shit has this "initial phase "kind of deal where they put newcoments through tough time in first 3-6 months. Because if there is ever "shit-hits-a-fan" situation, you need people you can rely on.
@@221b-l3t Damn, that's absolutely disgraceful. Your ex-employer should be ashamed. I wonder if people would still tip if they knew just how often the money goes to the boss?

Rich people, I don't care too much, just killed me to have to seem grateful, knowing I was broke and could use it. But if it was like a mom taking a few kids out to for lunch then no I vehemtly refused tips. If they asked I said we can't keep them. Which quite a few customers ask specifically before they tip. It's not like the US where waiters only make tips, we do have a salary but tips is still why anyone woukd take such a stressful job for that pay. There is better for more.

I have "received" over 100€ in tips many times. 20 people at a table all well fed, drunk and happy, first gives 20 bucks and the rest follow to not seem cheap, even apologising for only a 10€ which was more than I made an hour (9€).

@@LegionRRTX Let me say it so: It's in many media and other companies, that the guys who do the merchandise and design stuff use macs - they are good for that. But we all know that they run their whole editing department and most other departments on Windows and/or Linux, and that's for a good reason: since Apple killed Final Cut with Version X, nobody in media uses it anymore, but Adobe. And Adobe can be used on Windows - and that means instead of having a computer where the company decides what graphic power you have you can just go with a normal desktop tower and put the fastest GPU and CPU you can get into it and will still be cheaper than a Mac Pro Cheesegrid, coupled with water cooling and many other features. In 2022 only real big Apple Fanbois and Gals still use Apple for video editing (mostly UA-camrs who just have a MacBook Pro), but the industry is using Windows and Adobe. So of course they don't need much MacBooks at LTT, because outside of the designer Team and some editors for their scripts nobody will need them. And I'll bet Anthony prefers Linux :D
Don't know if Linus is a pushover and every one these guys taking advantage stealing thousands of dollars of office equipment and computers all the time and thinking its funny being a thief, directly taking money out of his and this company's pockets, or if Linus is just joking. I can only imagine the stuff that isn't visible or given away/ sold off. Even if it isnt used normally those things are sold and put back into the company.
@@Mojo_Dojo333 As conscious as Linus is about being smart with money, I promise you, he's joking. I'd put money on it these things can be checked out from LMG if it's not being actively used for content or production and this equipment is still on the master inventory along with paperwork of who signed out what, when, and in what condition. "Everyone steals shit from LMG and doesn't so much as try to hide it when Linus comes over." is much better content though.
Hoffman seems like a genuinely great guy, so funny and entertaining to watch. The team is made up of great people, everyone seems really down to earth and great company.
The over USB power/voltage/surge error is 100% the keyboard. It looked like a keychron board, and I have a similar problem with a keychron I have. Trying to charge it via USB throws a voltage error on my computer and disables the port to protect from damage. Luckily it is wireless, so I just charge it from the wall when needed. I've found a few other people who have run into similar problems with Keychron boards online, so while it seems to be rare, it isn't unique.
How about the HIGHROCK 30cm USB 2.0 a Power Enhancer Y 1 Female to 2 Male Data Charge Cable Extension Cord(1pc)? It seems to just take two ports to give one super port.
that would make sense as to why the USB-C would semi fix the issue because allot of USB C ports have more power to support those USB-C Expansion card dongles
The fact that you just shoved the cables in there and then say on it to close it is exactly how I've done it in the past and makes me love these videos that much more.
That portrait on the wall is the most hilariously chaotic object ever. It's weird to begin with, then Linus attempts to take it off the wall and examine it for reasons we don't fully understand, he then unveils the missing paint behind it and the double-sided tape, puts it back on crooked, and then it even finds a way to get loose and slam into the other wall during the same visit.
yeah like how he is asking them "is this from the office" like a fucking money obsessed control freak (which he is). he prolly does not even pay the best wages...
Such an Apple thing to do, "Hey do you have any advice for cleaning the case" "Yes. You buy a new one 💰" Hoffman's sass level is far above everyone elses.
i'm surprised members of the team like nick, brandon, taran have yet to have theirs done even though they've been on the team for so long, but i have been deeply enjoying all these episodes so far. i hope this series just keeps on going!
I think Nick is not going to get an upgrade, because he's on chief executive level, just like Yvonne, Linus, and technically Luke (except that he's an exec in a different company). The directing managers, James and Edzel got theirs. I think Brandon is coming next
You dont need to take the whole front panel off of the 4000d. The front middle panel with all of the triangle holes can be removed and then you can remove the fan filter and get access to all the screw holes for the fans. I just did a build almost exactly like this last week and had a similar struggle
This is the best tech upgrade episode so far Hoffman is such a natural person No playing a character He even acts cool with his boss and no other employee did that in their video
I've really loved getting to k ow the editors better. I don't normally like sponsored content, but it's been great getting to know the staff better, even when intels cpus were kind of rough. It's even more fun with the 12th gen cpus for the builds.
Things Linus says all the time: "We need to hire another editor/reviewer/lab tech" Things Linus has never said: "We need to hire a loss prevention specialist" #LTTatHomeInventory
Company usually just writes it up as loss item and get a tax cut, so it's a win-win situation. But in all honesty, most of his employees would end up in jail for theft if they worked for non-tech MNCs like McDonalds, Prudential, etc. Tech companies are usually much more liberal than that, since a lot of stuff are either freebies or tech samples meant for in-house projects.(eg. Like how the original Xbox alpha OS got leaked out because a former Microsoft engineer's old MacIntosh got sold by his family). I used to work at Oracle and Cloudflare, things go missing all the time. They would just write it up as a loss because too many people go in and out of the office. The real important stuff will never be just left around for easy access where employees could take them, so there was never any worries. It really is only useful to people who has wanted you fired and was just waiting to catch you doing something wrong.
Really love the Intel extreme tech upgrade series and man every new episode gets me thinking "this is my new favorite episode". It just gets better and better. Love it.
I actually don't have that many problems in my 10 square meter room, albeit I do have it basically designed for music production and the only reason it is "my room" is because I sleep in there, so it's basically a studio with a couch :)
the speakers are way too big for the room. Hs7 would have been enaugh. Also they are to close to the wall. Should be at least 50-100cm away from the wall....
If LMG has 60 people in the office (4:53), then the 15 Intel Extreme Upgrade videos out right now means we're 1/4 of the way from everyone getting an upgrade. And here I thought that beginning over a year and a half ago, we'd only see a handful of upgrades lol
Can I just say how good a boss Linus is? I mean, he lets his staff take from the office things that they probably don't need in the office anymore, but then theoretically they're still fixed assets of the company. He treats his staff so well, not just the stuff but also just being a decent human to them. It's a really good work culture at LTT. I bet nobody ever wants to leave LTT because they're frustrated at the work environment.
This is the video I've enjoyed most so far in this series. Hoffman gives positive vibes definitely. I like him, he should be presenting in some of the videos.
I love that antec case he was going to use for his NAS. I had one and they even sent me a replacement I/O board for the front with USB 3.0 when that became available. Antec was great back in the day. Nothing could come close to the number of fans and storage this monster would hold...
I love these vids. You learn so much about LTT as a team. I love getting to know about the background staff. All from the racing competition to Andy's kid spelling "LTT" cutely are the things that make me smile.
I'm starting to believe Linus just put a lot of cool stuffs and new techs lying around all over the office for his employees to bring home, then he acts surprised when he sees those stuffs in his employee's places. But it all meant to be given away for them from the beginning anyway. He doesn't want to show his sweet and generous side too much, but his urge to give and share can't be helped so he does it secretly.
Hoffman must have been such a LTT fanboi before becoming a member. The way he shrieks at ″are we building this together? -Yes″ is just so precious. Made my day!
That bit about the apple mouse was really clever. Tape over the sensor and it’s an easy power point clicker.. neat! Also I hadn’t considered the ergonomics of an easy travel mouse like that. Makes the product make more sense to me now. Even if it wasn’t meant for that exact usage.
I never heard of adding those washers to motherboard mountings screws before now either. They're sorta cool, if you're in to accentuating the mounting points rather than trying to hide them.
me with my pc build by a friend. damn those screws ugly. i painted em black. my friend: thought u said u dont care about aesthetics? me: but they where damn silver on a full black pc :D
Absolutely loved Hoffman taking the piss out of everyone at LMG (including Linus). This was hilarious! Want to see a short of someone at LMG beating Hoffman's record!
I have that same case for my home server/nas. Despite being an older case, all the drive bays make it nice. Plus it has some foam in the sides for sound dampening. I used it for my main system up until about a year ago because of how quiet it was. I have a 16tb exos drive for my plex media, and then 4x 4tb WD Red drives in two raid 5's for more crucial data with a Ryzen 9 5900x, 64gb of Vengence LPX 3600mhz, it's a fun little home sever/nas. Funny enough I also have my main system in a 5000D, but it's black, and I run a 1000 watt version of the same PSU.
at 15 seconds my girlfriend and I both screamed puppy. this is the first time I have ever gotten her to agree to watch youtube videos I normally watch alone, and now she is cooking dinner and watching random LTT videos, so thanks for showing the dog, and being so wonderful Linus that you have pushed my girlfriend to being truly interested in my hobbies.
God I get excited when I see these. I grab a cup of tea and kick back, relax and enjoy. Just quality wholesome experience with Linus in the wild. It's so intriguing to see what people will do with the option of a budget to upgrade! Pretty sick content all around
As this series has been going on for while. (I love it!) With all the rising tech prices , someone who did this like 10 months ago has effectively $5500 budget compared to today. Is there any allowance for rising prices due to current affairs. Or was when this series was in pre production, everyone pre allocated their specs based on 20xx prices at the time?
As seen in previous videos, most of the LTT members had their ordered upgrades in there house for months before Linus came bye for shooting the video. So I guess all staff members ordered their upgrade wishes in the same period.
If I remember correctly they're allowed to use MSRP for all the parts and if something is hard to get (like a GPU) they're able to source it from their industry contacts or from their warehouse.
I have to say, I find that Linus / Linus Media Group has built a company of very charismatic and pleasant seeming people. I really appreciate that in these videos.
I really hope they're just joking about stealing stuff from work. It might not be a big deal to Linus, but if they can just 'steal' and get away with it, at some point it'll become a real problem.
@@miukku111 yeah nabbing things like Ethernet cables or old mice that aren’t in use anymore is one thing. But that’s ballsy to walk out with 2 brand new M1’s
me and my friend work IT and pc repair. so what he did once was take a works gpu. but the downside was. if he ever got fired he had to give it back or if held longer or wanted pay back. now here is the kicker. during the big gpu craze his gpu he ''borrowed' went up in price and he was forced to pay for it... such a shit boss. i work small pc repair and i only ever took some headsets no one wanted at either discount or free. hell even once a semi faulty laptop. but the whole stealing thing... yeah i think they do have a policy / sheet of loans. or know eachother good enough that they wont steal.
I've got that LG C1. I spent like 10 hours one day researching the crap out of these high end tvs and the C1 turned out to be the best choice. Best oled hands down for the price. I paid 2 grand for a 65 inch lol

Actually love this dude. Great energy the entire show and some solid chemistry with Linus.
These Intel upgrades are like a comedy/reality tv show and it’s amazing. Keep them coming?
Such an Apple thing to do, "Hey do you have any advice for cleaning the case" "Yes. You buy a new one 💰"
Hoffman's sass level is far above everyone elses.
i'm surprised members of the team like nick, brandon, taran have yet to have theirs done even though they've been on the team for so long, but i have been deeply enjoying all these episodes so far. i hope this series just keeps on going!
I think Nick is not going to get an upgrade, because he's on chief executive level, just like Yvonne, Linus, and technically Luke (except that he's an exec in a different company).
The directing managers, James and Edzel got theirs. I think Brandon is coming next
They probably knew enough to wait for the Alder Lake drop.
Lottery system, but with true random draw to make it "fair"
I love Hoffman man. All these tech upgrades have been great. Getting to know the lesser known members of LTT.
You dont need to take the whole front panel off of the 4000d. The front middle panel with all of the triangle holes can be removed and then you can remove the fan filter and get access to all the screw holes for the fans. I just did a build almost exactly like this last week and had a similar struggle
I'm baffled that they missed that. I have the 4000x and legit the first thing I did was put my fingers in the gap to see if that came off.
@@ParagonFury I have the 4000G and I did the same
@@maddawgzzzz Ha!
@@Kigoz4Life I’m pretty sure Linus doesn’t care since he clearly knows about it, also why you commenting this everywhere lol nobody cares
Also if Hoffman is never going to clean it anyways, it's a wasted effort
This guy is incredibly charismatic, he'd be a great addition to the regular cast!
This was awesome! Can't wait for Sarah's tech upgrade now! (Linus mentioned it in the WAN show)
Never stop Intel Tech Upgrades Linus, this series is my favorite!
i love the series too
This is the best tech upgrade episode so far
Hoffman is such a natural person
No playing a character
He even acts cool with his boss and no other employee did that in their video
I don't know, the whole "live, laugh, Liao" was fucking hilarious and Dennis didn't feel like he was playing a character.
I've really loved getting to k ow the editors better. I don't normally like sponsored content, but it's been great getting to know the staff better, even when intels cpus were kind of rough. It's even more fun with the 12th gen cpus for the builds.
Things Linus says all the time:
"We need to hire another editor/reviewer/lab tech"
Things Linus has never said:
"We need to hire a loss prevention specialist"
#LTTatHomeInventory
Truth is... Linus doesn't mind it at all. He's pretty fam with his crew.
The loss actually makes up for the free storage space at the Company which must fill up really fast.
I bet it's a completely different story if something is missing when it's needed at work...
Company usually just writes it up as loss item and get a tax cut, so it's a win-win situation. But in all honesty, most of his employees would end up in jail for theft if they worked for non-tech MNCs like McDonalds, Prudential, etc. Tech companies are usually much more liberal than that, since a lot of stuff are either freebies or tech samples meant for in-house projects.(eg. Like how the original Xbox alpha OS got leaked out because a former Microsoft engineer's old MacIntosh got sold by his family). I used to work at Oracle and Cloudflare, things go missing all the time. They would just write it up as a loss because too many people go in and out of the office. The real important stuff will never be just left around for easy access where employees could take them, so there was never any worries. It really is only useful to people who has wanted you fired and was just waiting to catch you doing something wrong.
It's not lost, everyone knows where everything is. The stuff has just left the office.
Linus needs to start a database or at the very least a spreadsheet to track all the stolen parts from employees! Lol
This is my favorite series on LTT hands down. Its like pimp my ride pc edition
this guy is actually really entertaining i hope we see more of him
hey it's the guy who likes rav!
@@Punched0 yessir
I love how he is talking freely about stealing from work to his BOSS
At some point you guys will have to start hiring new people to keep this series alive...
And I'll watch it!
and I'll apply
ill take an unpaid 1 hour per week remote internship at LTT :)
Congratulations, you have got your comment stolen by a bot, and now it has 1k+ likes!
@@germanmartinez6550 yep, I see that
@@germanmartinez6550 really sucks
Really love the Intel extreme tech upgrade series and man every new episode gets me thinking "this is my new favorite episode". It just gets better and better. Love it.
I love the pause and then the excitement as the machine turns on for the first time. That's always the best experience.
As a fellow HS8 owner it's nice to see someone else struggling and appreciating the size of those monsters
I actually don't have that many problems in my 10 square meter room, albeit I do have it basically designed for music production and the only reason it is "my room" is because I sleep in there, so it's basically a studio with a couch :)
the speakers are way too big for the room. Hs7 would have been enaugh. Also they are to close to the wall. Should be at least 50-100cm away from the wall....
@@samuelivascu7633 it's mostly my girlfriend that doesn't like them taking up precious studio apartment space.
This is a solid dynamic duo right here x'D Would love to see more content with these two peeps
If LMG has 60 people in the office (4:53), then the 15 Intel Extreme Upgrade videos out right now means we're 1/4 of the way from everyone getting an upgrade. And here I thought that beginning over a year and a half ago, we'd only see a handful of upgrades lol
Every time I watch the intel tech upgrade series it makes me happy knowing how forgiving some bosses can be
Can I just say how good a boss Linus is? I mean, he lets his staff take from the office things that they probably don't need in the office anymore, but then theoretically they're still fixed assets of the company. He treats his staff so well, not just the stuff but also just being a decent human to them. It's a really good work culture at LTT. I bet nobody ever wants to leave LTT because they're frustrated at the work environment.
Makes me wonder why Madison quit
@@videogamefreak221122 what!!! Madison left?
@@VladimirJog sure did
@@videogamefreak221122 she signed an NDA so can't say anything about why she quit.
This is the video I've enjoyed most so far in this series. Hoffman gives positive vibes definitely. I like him, he should be presenting in some of the videos.
This was one of if not the best episode in the series so far, you guys were hilarious :)
I love that antec case he was going to use for his NAS. I had one and they even sent me a replacement I/O board for the front with USB 3.0 when that became available. Antec was great back in the day. Nothing could come close to the number of fans and storage this monster would hold...
I love these vids. You learn so much about LTT as a team. I love getting to know about the background staff. All from the racing competition to Andy's kid spelling "LTT" cutely are the things that make me smile.
if anyone deserves to blow the budget, it's this guy. he's stomached a linus underwear photoshoot. triple the budget is still not enough.
😅
I loved this one. Hoffman is really funny. I have so many questions about his home decor though. So many
I'm starting to believe Linus just put a lot of cool stuffs and new techs lying around all over the office for his employees to bring home, then he acts surprised when he sees those stuffs in his employee's places. But it all meant to be given away for them from the beginning anyway. He doesn't want to show his sweet and generous side too much, but his urge to give and share can't be helped so he does it secretly.
He’s a tsundere
Linus Tsundere Tips
Yes, but also, Linus has "stolen" more from the office all of his employee's combined 😂 .
Technically even Linus has to purchase company inventory that he wants to take home and keep.
@@scottcol23 why doesn’t he own the company or for tax reasons?
Hoffman must have been such a LTT fanboi before becoming a member. The way he shrieks at ″are we building this together? -Yes″ is just so precious.
Made my day!
That bit about the apple mouse was really clever. Tape over the sensor and it’s an easy power point clicker.. neat! Also I hadn’t considered the ergonomics of an easy travel mouse like that. Makes the product make more sense to me now. Even if it wasn’t meant for that exact usage.
I've actually been looking for a clicker to use when reading Visual Novels on my TV. I might look into it.
I never heard of adding those washers to motherboard mountings screws before now either.
They're sorta cool, if you're in to accentuating the mounting points rather than trying to hide them.
I feel like some white... or even matte or gloss black washers like that would look great too.
me with my pc build by a friend.
damn those screws ugly. i painted em black.
my friend: thought u said u dont care about aesthetics?
me: but they where damn silver on a full black pc :D
My MSI motherboard came with washers.
I love how reasonable Linus is with workers taking company property
Well as he said the items are just on a shelf not being used
I imagine that they've been accounted for in inventory and linus is surprised bc he isn't in charge of keeping track of that stuff
@@CaptainApathetic Well for what would a company need 100 or more ethernet cables ;)
He sounded genuinely annoyed about the Mac on this one. Linus should have a tech amnesty, they could make a video out of it.
@@Heliumcool1 until he realized nobody wants them 😂😂😂
I actually really love the pink gray and white with gold accents, its a bit unusual but still minimalist. It looks great.
Absolutely loved Hoffman taking the piss out of everyone at LMG (including Linus). This was hilarious! Want to see a short of someone at LMG beating Hoffman's record!
I have that same case for my home server/nas. Despite being an older case, all the drive bays make it nice. Plus it has some foam in the sides for sound dampening. I used it for my main system up until about a year ago because of how quiet it was.
I have a 16tb exos drive for my plex media, and then 4x 4tb WD Red drives in two raid 5's for more crucial data with a Ryzen 9 5900x, 64gb of Vengence LPX 3600mhz, it's a fun little home sever/nas.
Funny enough I also have my main system in a 5000D, but it's black, and I run a 1000 watt version of the same PSU.
Wow, the two of you MUST do more videos together! Absolutely HILARIOUS!
LOVED IT
Hoffman actually looks excited building with Linus.
I love that Linus could not argue with his logic on the MacBooks
20:51 RIP to that LTT frame just dangling there showing the torn wallpaper......
This is got to be my favorite Intel upgrade in the series. Linus is actually true friends with his employees. Great to see that.
Gotta say, I agree. The silly washers do actually look really nice. Especially in that shot next to the matching capacitors on the board.
I love how Linus couldn't come up with something to contest the MacBook and he just walks out
Hoffman also seems like an amazing person to be around
24:17 "oh man the blacks are so good"
Linus: "it's off but ok"
at 15 seconds my girlfriend and I both screamed puppy. this is the first time I have ever gotten her to agree to watch youtube videos I normally watch alone, and now she is cooking dinner and watching random LTT videos, so thanks for showing the dog, and being so wonderful Linus that you have pushed my girlfriend to being truly interested in my hobbies.
This is my favorite series, just being able to see Linus in his happy space with his employees slaging each other off
God I get excited when I see these. I grab a cup of tea and kick back, relax and enjoy. Just quality wholesome experience with Linus in the wild. It's so intriguing to see what people will do with the option of a budget to upgrade! Pretty sick content all around
20:40 has Hoffman ever considered comedic acting?
oh my god, i watched all of the exteme tech upgrade, this one by FAR is the most entertaining , lmao, everything in it is priceless !
As this series has been going on for while. (I love it!) With all the rising tech prices , someone who did this like 10 months ago has effectively $5500 budget compared to today. Is there any allowance for rising prices due to current affairs. Or was when this series was in pre production, everyone pre allocated their specs based on 20xx prices at the time?
As seen in previous videos, most of the LTT members had their ordered upgrades in there house for months before Linus came bye for shooting the video. So I guess all staff members ordered their upgrade wishes in the same period.
If I remember correctly they're allowed to use MSRP for all the parts and if something is hard to get (like a GPU) they're able to source it from their industry contacts or from their warehouse.
Shout out to Intel for still doing these. Always fun to watch.
Best chemistry between Linus and an employee.... hands down
Not sure if you're new to the channel, but just no
It’s funny I was just watching some of these and wanting to watch a new one I have not seen before but I have watched them all. So here I am
I have to say, I find that Linus / Linus Media Group has built a company of very charismatic and pleasant seeming people. I really appreciate that in these videos.
Out of all the extreme tech tips, this guy is the best!
Huge stretch 😂
I am genuinely starting to believe that Linus actually tells his employees that anything they find is free game
I really hope they're just joking about stealing stuff from work. It might not be a big deal to Linus, but if they can just 'steal' and get away with it, at some point it'll become a real problem.
@@miukku111 it's not stealing, it's things checked out from the inventory system and used at home
@@miukku111 yeah nabbing things like Ethernet cables or old mice that aren’t in use anymore is one thing. But that’s ballsy to walk out with 2 brand new M1’s
@@squirrelzar The M1s are from recent video (MacAdress).
me and my friend work IT and pc repair.
so what he did once was take a works gpu. but the downside was. if he ever got fired he had to give it back or if held longer or wanted pay back.
now here is the kicker. during the big gpu craze his gpu he ''borrowed' went up in price and he was forced to pay for it... such a shit boss.
i work small pc repair and i only ever took some headsets no one wanted at either discount or free. hell even once a semi faulty laptop.
but the whole stealing thing... yeah i think they do have a policy / sheet of loans. or know eachother good enough that they wont steal.
8:55 NOW I’m convinced to get myself an LTT screwdriver. I liked the look. LOVE the big magnet!!!
8:57 "I like that, I'm gonna steal one when it's out."
At least he's honest lmao.
It is interesting what people upgrade for their Intel-sponsored Extreme Tech upgrade :)
Read his name!
Don't read his name!
I've got that LG C1. I spent like 10 hours one day researching the crap out of these high end tvs and the C1 turned out to be the best choice. Best oled hands down for the price. I paid 2 grand for a 65 inch lol
This was the best of the recent ones in terms how good Hoffman played along! Usually it’s just Linus carrying, but not here.
I got the HS8 as well and they sound amazing! They're in a small room atm but you can always turn the low end down if they are too "boomy"!
Hey all it's been a minute- I agree with the comments. Great video and Hoffman was awesome. Maybe it's the west coast but it's tough finding such cool folks! Make Canadians proud!
4:58 This dude's charisma is off the charts
This has to be my favorite Intel Exteme Upgrade so far! Would love to see linus and hoffman on camera more together.
24:17📺
Oohh, the blacks ss soo good!
I mean it's off but...
Add your own burn after BUT...
I'm curious how Linus scored this sponsorship with Intel... It has to be the largest intel does with any channel
$5K per vid is not a huge amount when talking about advertising.
$5000 to put your multibillion dollar company name on one video, quite a bargain
The funny thing is Linus constantly roast Intel when they release some shit.
Hoffman is a legend! We love him. He's like a tech guy for us not so techy guys 💙
@UA-cam Censorship his last name is Wong. Look at that Kumon award he showed Linus near the beginning when he showed him that Crown
@UA-cam Censorship what does it even matter wether asian people ''blend in'' or not. it's stereotyping and an narrow minded of viewing societies and people.
@@ElcoCanon I agree. What a super weird thing to focus on. I just ignored the comments because they sounded so silly to me.
I really loved the little reference to Scott Pilgrim by the editor when looking around the room for Mac stuff! great little addition XD
This is the first time Linus seemed genuinely bothered by the stolen tech
Love this series. Wish I worked at LTT, love working with computers
Every time i rewatch this, I get done by the messenger ding at the start...Every. Single. Time! 😂. I really love this series, cant wait to see more Hoffman and more Extreme Tech Upgrades!!
Make a video on them playing sim games!! They seem so competitive! Its gonna be awesome!!!
