Burden of proof is on the accuser.
The burden of proof is on the party making a positive claim. This is true when in a debate, or maybe a professional setting.
But this is the internet. No one owes you anything here, besides, Linus Sebastian’s statements are generally known. And often he directly contradicts himself from show to show.
You know, I was fine with LTT for a while (many years ago). I knew they were clowns, but they seemed genuine and well intentioned. Their first Linux challenge made me raise my eyebrows at them, because I was a long time Linux user and knew much of what they said was either off the mark or disingenuous.
Then their storage server video came out and I almost fell off my chair with the levels of bafoonery I had watched. Even the real experts that helped them out had a hard time keeping their words civil while discussing the postmortem of the situation. That’s when I lost respect for LTT and Linus Sebastian as a tech “expert”.
Then all the other stuff about the lies, the made up metrics, the years of garbage test data from negligent and lazy practices, and the cherry on top which was the Billet Labs thing. The arrogance of Linus Sebastian to do the test in bad faith on a GPU that was explicitly stated by Billet Labs to not be the target device, and then Linus whine on the WAAAH Show that it would cost him too much money to do a proper retest, and then just selling off the prototype. Then doubling down twice in a forum post that LINUS SEBASTIAN is somehow the victim in all of this! Poor Poor Linus Sebastian.
And the moron couldn’t even do an apology video without making some wise-ass joke. Couldn’t read the room the one time he needed to do it.
He’s just an ass-hat.
I refuse to watch a video with Linus Sebastian. I’ll get better tech advice from my cat tripping on catnip.
As the sun rotates, the area that throws out these solar flares slowly faces toward the earth (solar maximum) then slowly rotates to face away from the earth (solar minimum). The solar cycle is roughly eleven years long.
This doesn’t have anything to do with the sun’s rotation. It actually rotates once every 28 days. The solar maximum and solar minimum are just phases in activity caused by internal activity.
if Plex enshittifies.
Anyone want to break the news?
HEVC (x265) takes half the space of x264
In some scenarios, it can. Generally I’d say it’s about a 20-30% reduction in size.
Ok, maybe I didn’t get the context of what you were saying. There’s a lot of craziness happening in these comments
Wtf do you mean “I would not call them communists”?
They have “communist” in their name “Chinese Communist Party”, but they aren’t communist by definition.
Communism is when the state gives you a home
That’s a Cliff’s Notes, high-level, distilled to one sentence version of the definition. The reality of what communism entails is much larger than that.
And the Chinese CCP is as much a communist government as the United States government is a democracy.
If you simply refuse to acknowledge the scope of public works and economic development
I did acknowledge it.
then dismiss these radical changes by citing the exchange rate between the USD and the Yuan as proof extreme poverty still exists
I said not a single word about exchange rates and never once mentioned the USD. Either your strawmaning what I said or you can’t read.
I never said China didn’t invest into their national programs. I said their definitions of “poverty” are in question.
Just to clarify something. People tend to confuse the terms of “absolute poverty” and “poverty”.
The claim of “completely eliminating absolute poverty” (which is a claim the CCP makes) is almost true. Supposedly the number of people in absolute poverty in China is now 0.7%.
However, this is often reported as China “eliminating all poverty”, which isn’t true. The World Bank puts people still living in poverty in China at 13% (exact numbers are hard because of the CCPs information control), which is higher than what China self claims. Because China doesn’t use the World Bank’s definition for poverty.
I’ve been to China and have family from there. Don’t try to make this about some nationalistic nonsense. It would be amazing if people in China had as much access to the things in life everyone deserves, but the CCP isn’t exactly known for being honest.
And how does that equate to me coping?
One of their largest bridges collapsed because of a weakness in the bridge’s foundation that I think involved a landslide.
There was another one from earlier this year that involved a number of cars falling with the bridge.
The Chinese also figured out that the bridge was going to collapse ahead of time, so they evacuated all motorists. Don’t think there were any casualties.
You’re right, the most recent one involved no casualties, because the day before someone walking across the bridge noticed a huge crack and posted it to Douyin. Officials noticed it and then closed the bridge.
You want to cite what you’re talking about here?

I guess that was 4 years ago, but I remember it as more recently.
while it was 77.6 in the US
I don’t live in the USA. I consider the USA a 3rd world country cosplaying as a 1st world one. Healthcare in the USA is one of the most broken and predatory in the world. So it’s not a meaningful comparison IMO.
What am I coping with exactly? I don’t live in the US and I’m not a US citizen.
No, I like “bossware”. It tells you exactly what it is. It’s “spyware from your boss”.
China recently lowered the earning amount for poverty to just below what most Chinese people make, thereby “reducing” poverty.
I like how fast they build infrastructure
You mean collapsing within a few years? Three of their largest bridges recently built just collapsed. And a lot of structures over there collapse within a few to several years.
Vaccinated doesn’t mean “can’t get it”
It’s more about making aware those unaware how much of a clown Linus Sectarian, and the people at LMG/LTT are.
