Never realised that quite a few third party mods for the deck are available - such as a transparent chassis, colourful buttons, and even an aftermarket APU cooler.

Linus pretty much pimps the heck out of the refurbished deck in this video.

The main downsides shown (aside from the difficult chassis swap) were the aftermarket chassis joystick tolerances being a bit tight, and the new HD screen increasing system power consumption by at least 10W - while also bringing a noticeable performance penalty, with ~37 FPS on the HD screen vs 60 FPS on the standard deck screen when playing F1

      Is that why this is being downvoted? I’ve heard of Linus for years in my Reddit days but never actually watched or listened to anything he did. I thought people liked him? Maybe not anymore lol

      Edit : Thanks for the info. Glad I have no reason to give him any further thought. While I never expected him to be like that it doesn’t surprise me lol

        Recent events this year came out with claims of inaccuracies in their videos and a former employee is also levelling allegations of a toxic work environment and sexual harassment

        His tech info is dodgy at best. He isn’t actually very technically knowledgeable so he tends to cause problems because people follow what he says instead of learning from people who know what they are talking about.

          His union stance was what made me start viewing him less positively. What is good for the company and the founders is going to be different from what employees consider beneficial for them. But, taking the stance of the benevolent dictator of how he would consider it a failure on his part if a union formed while trying to sell it off as though it wasn’t really profit motivated but concern for the workers made me roll my eyes.

          Of course it would be profit motivated with impact on payroll, hours, and benefits being impacted and him having less control over what he considers to be fair compensation.

          Linus having his podcast and having a platform to start going off the script made me start not liking him much. Lot of his takes gave the impression that if Linus were an ISP he’d be completely for caps.

            Ew. Getting (former) CEO of Unity vibes.

    Great, but I can’t trust anything he says now. More concerned with shoving inflammatory videos out than he is in being correct.

    Who could’ve ever predicted that /s
