Love how detailed Gamer's Nexus is, but 3.5 hours is waaaaay too much. What's the TLDR?
I'm only half way through but the TLDW so far is that the consumer DIY market is in collapse. Component suppliers are in bad financial shape, and many will probably not survive the down-turn.
Does make you wonder what we will be left with. Probably not all components gone. But likely less choice.
Could get a pi, they seem to be popular enough to not go away any time soon.
Did you see the Pi price increases though? Ouch. A mini-PC is likely better value now.

Part 2: https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/more-memory-driven-price-rises/
Mini PC prices are also going up. But yeah they are also an interesting choice to look at.
I'll game on a pi zero before I subscribe to run them on a data center.
My Pi3b is a great little emulator, retropi worked great last time I plugged it in
He repeats information constantly. Any time I watched one of his videos I couldn't stop thinking how it could be cut to a third of the length without losing anything important. For my attention span it's unwatchable.
The problem with that, is if he did that. Then you would see endless people claiming hes bullshit, lying and cherry picking sources endlessly.
You have to make a point, make it again, show proof, make the point again, show different proof of the same thing, make the point a last time, followed by more proof of the same thing with extra sources. ONLY THEN. Does the avg idiot actually believe you instead of just screaming at the top of their lungs that your an idiot.
When you have to compete with misinformation and propaganda, you have to be so overly verbose that it borders on the absurd. Seriously iv watched people argue up and down that Steve lies and makes shit up in every single one of his videos because it doesn't agree with the dude bro crypto cult manosphere twitch streamer they watch.
So while your entirely right he could cut a third of his run time of his longer videos ALL of his videos really. You would just end up with the screaming idiots coming back like they use to on older gamer nexus videos before he started getting really long winded.
This guy is right. I've learned something from posting on the 'net, it's that:
A) The average user is really, really stupid
B) People will never admit they're wrong. They'd rather argue longer and pointlessly than concede a point
C) If they are ever in the complete wrong, there's crickets.
So I've made it a habit to break the habit and agree with people / say they're right when they are
Thanks, Holytimes 😎👍
You are entirely right. Just agree and nod and move on.
Very few people have to actually deal with arguing with idiots. And for them it's typically just a downside of their job. They can't just ignore it. So they have to deal with it.
For the rest of us. Just nod, agree, and move on with your life! You will be happier and have a better mental well-being.
If that were true we wouldn't have anti-vaxxers, flat earth, or religion.
It is true you just have a horrible and woefully lacking view of how truely fucking stupid people are.
Its true and it's the only reason we don't have MORE of those fucking idiots.
No they are right. That was exactly what we learned during the pandemic. You can lay out the most researched fact check argument you want and they still wont believe you.
People are going to still say he is making shit up. No amount of facts are going to help.
Personally, I prefer the method used by a lot of podcasts I listen to. They put a link to all their citation and research instead of cramming it all into the presentation. Often with some discussion items and additional information if I want to check sources.
Video is an exercise in patience, because it is a horrible way to convey information, and really long ones are not helping.
Laying everything out and hammering it home and showing all the work. Is the only reason we don't have more idiots running around. You will never convert the truely hopeless loss causes. But you can convert the fence sitters and reduce the amount of idiots by a good chunk.
If you just leave them to their own devices those fence sitters will just join the idiots.
Literally you will just have more idiots if you don't try. Covid made that extremely clear. It takes twice the effort to get though to most people and the idiots are too far gone.
Being nice, polite and to the point rarely actually helps the cause when your trying to talk to stupid people.
It's a compilation of a handful of previous videos all out under one broad topic. If there's one you care about there's a more dedicated specific video about tariffs, AI, memory, factories, etc.
I also can’t stand his voice for too long.
i’m half way in
watch it
Or watch The Fellowship of the Ring Extended Edition in the same amount of time.
do both
That is why I have 2 monitors
Usually, there’s a mouse over on the time bar of his vids. You can find the bit you want and skip the rest. But if this is 3.5hrs, it’s likely it’s a playlist of all related vids smashed into one vid.
It isn't.
