It's anyone taking TT seriously? It's more of a entertainment channel. It's the SNL of tech reviewers.
I don't, it does not feel genuine anymore, they just pump them out.
SNL is giving LTT too much credit.
I think many are - to some extent. For many, repairability is not important, they want a good product (spec wise) and if it breaks, they have insurance or warranty. Or worst case they'll just buy new ones.
It a shitty mindset but a common one. Putting warrenty claims asside, specs still aren't everything. Look at the coverage of gaming hand helds (switch/steam deck vs Asus ally). Linus thinks windows in this form factor is an advantage to the user experience because specification number goes up.
