This is totally wholesome and awesome, from the kinda lulz feeling i had 3 years ago about LTT this has really evolved to an enterprise company. I just wish they would stop fiddling with the network things and just make it proper thought ^^ i would've placed the server/network room in a separate room where they now plan for the meeting rooms, that would make it be placed out of their way and save office space.
@@stormfox2907 so? If Linus becomes a billionare doing what he likes and giving away "free" useful and industry changing content, who cares? Maybe you.
I used to work in the machine vision industry and specialized for a short amount of time on the LMI Gocator you are using for your keyboard testing (I'm pretty sure I left a comment on the first keyboard test video that you should use one) but my only advice is more grounding. They are unbelievably inconsistent and troublesome with no extra grounding and I had these installed in dozens of factories. You should definitely connect an extra earth wire to the chassis. Edit: Thanks guys for getting this to the top. I’ve not been in the industry for 5 years or so now but I should clarify some things. The Gocator is an incredibly accurate 3D profiler that comes setup from factory and ready to use. I’ve setup separate sensor and laser systems before and it is a lot of work compared to the Gocator. The sensor they have is what I would have recommended if I was still in the industry. I’ve seen them used for car engine tolerance scanning to creating 3D profiles of cheese and everything in between. We saw number of issues with them out in the field and the majority could be fixed by earthing them with the robot and cage they were within then continuity checking to see if everything was earthed. I know it sounds ridiculous but its what we saw over and over again. Also props to you for using a local Vancouver company although they are the go-to for an “all in one” 3D solution.
Still feels nuts seeing Linus and the team getting this far. I remember first stumbling upon Linus covering the GTX 680 Lightning Edition like a decade ago, _and now I just made myself feel old!_
@@martint8986 I mean, it's genuine. lol I've been watching LTT since I found that video, which apparently came out in September of 2012, and as a result I feel like a geezer.
Alot of comments praising LTT for the work they are doing for consumers. I'd like to add praise for the effort you're clearly making for your staff. The Lab looks like a fantastic facility to work in. And all your staff look well cared for and happy. It's often overlooked, and most company's do the bare minimum to equitheirre staff with the tools they need to do a good job. As an engineer myself, I applaud your effor. Mostst of us can only dream of working in an environment like this.
@@Okurka. Linus is, ultimately, is not stupid when it comes to running a content creation business (at least, he has enough smart people working for him) so I doubt the staff are hardly a waste.
And if you ever used a 3d printer, you'll know how that's not necessarily the holy grail, but damn if it's not going to open up a lot of options that couldn't be done before. And simple support removal XD
These types of videos are my absolute favourite to see. I enjoy the normal videos of random tech related things being showcased on the channel but being able to see everything behind the scenes is amazing
From the first Langley house tour and now to a BTS labs tour that's going to have an RF chamber worth more than the entire Langley house BY ITSELF this has been a journey I'm glad to have vicariously lived through with you guys.
I remember the house tour and a bathroom full of components and cables laying around. There's still stuff just laying around in boxes, but now the space is bigger.
@@neuro3423 True just look at FaZe, and I think on the WAN show years back Linus had said he never wants to go public because he'll lose a lot of control over his company to shareholders, and that he doesn't need money. Clearly this man is successful if he's building testing labs and buying new properties without any investors. Still, I'd want to see him have a public company of sorts, just not LMG maybe something related.
I rarely ever comment on YT videos, but here's an exception. Content like this is my favorite from Linus. Providing context to how 'the magic' happens, is priceless, especially for budding entrepreneurs and people with at least some level of interest in running a business (even if completely unrelated, like me). I realize this is far from the main point of the channel, so whenever these behind-the-scenes, ENT301-type-vids pop up on my recommendations, I am just... happy. I think they make good business sense, too, which is why I suspect Linus pushed this type of content through (reputation building, showcasing scope, etc). I guess growing up with LTT, I've come to appreciate the business Linus just as much as the TechTips Linus. Thanks, love it.
I love Linus's transition from "I'm bored with this job and want to retire." to deciding to have fun with his money by becoming a real life Cave Johnson
“When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!”
I think a stream of revenue for labs is offering companies the ability to be "Certified by LTT" by paying to have their products tested, LTT's reputation means me seeing a sticker saying "LTT Approved for X" would have a massive impact on my purchase
Solid idea. Linus carries respect and notoriety across tech. I love noctua because of linus. And i would totally lean Towards LTT certified products lol.
This is honestly insane to me. I am old enough that I used to build computers in my teens primarily from shopping at NCIX due to their pricematch. I watched Linus a few times back then to get some more information on products but would never have guessed that there was this much opportunity in having a tech review channel. He employs so many people, builds a testing lab of this scale, have security for life. Just crazy
Massive lifegoal to be in a situation where the realization that an acoustic chamber costs half a mil only took 15 seconds and then the techtips guy himself moves on with the show. The amount of trust and financial planning there is behind the scenes must be incredible!
at the same time, he is running a business. as much as they joke about it, its not his personal finances, and even if it was, it is an investment, not a purchase. a tv or gaming rig is not an investment, whereas a university degree or personal vehicle (depending on country) is for example. the stakes and considerations are different.
@@iseptimus I am not a huge LTT fan so I have no idea what her role currently is but LTT wouldn't exist without Yvonne in the first place, she was the one taking on a lot of work to fund LTT so Linus didn't have to do regular work. She was the overall manager of the entire operation. She also owns half the company legally so any big decision has to go through her.
I work in a small engine factory: the Lab is almost as large and complex at this point. It's a literally industrial-sized testing facility, it's absolutely incredible. Makes me even more excited because my job is in the Quality department, and this is a factory that's one big quality department.
I knew Labs was a big project but I didn't realise quite how big it was. This video really puts things into perspective. Big hats off to everyone involved and can't wait to see what comes of it.
LTT is the most stable and steadily growing youtube channel/business that I have ever seen coming out of youtube. Gotta give it up to Linus and his team!!! Bravo 👏
I can completely understand why so many people criticize this Labs project, but if you guys get enough external support (which it looks like you are), this is a high stakes; high risk high reward setup. This is truly a public service and I really appreciate all the work that LMG together has done on this project. Good stuff guys!
You can understand why so many people criticize the labs project? Why would they care enough to do that? Why would they think they have enough information to do so? Why wouldn't they want the results of what it's going to bring? I can't understand it People just like to shit on Linus for anything
@@DaShinyDragonMon But again, why would anyone think they have enough information about someone else's business to make a constructive, useful criticism? Why would it matter if it wasn't just shitting on them, because they have no idea what they're talking about either way!
@Tommy Because he shares an enormous amount of aspects on his RU-vid, much much more than probably most if not all businesses. He opens himself up to it.
Next we need integration of the lab results to online shopping sites. Amazon 4 stars and paid reviews mean nothing compared to recommendation from proper independent testing.
@@cliftonblackburn5546 Its very nice to have two different outlets in this space, so we can get "verified" results. It would be a hard ask for companies to corrupt the integrity and bribe/buy favourable reviews from both at the same time.
Unless they go the Rtings route of trying to test as many devices as possible and compiling an easy to access database, I don't see too much added value. Having additional, independent testers to validate and double check the results Rtings, Whathifi etc. will add a lot of value. However, if (as I suspect) its just going to be used to test the most hyped devices for youtube content it isn't going to do much. Look at gamer's nexus - yeah its entertaining and informative but their very narrow selection of devices to test means that unless you are going out to buy the latest and most hyped devices, you don't really benefit much.
For the home theater room, it might be good to be able to have a moving wall in order to adjust the room size. You can then give reporting data on how certain products work in different sized areas. And the furniture in different rooms, like beds, wardrobes etc, could have an impact on the overall sound. So you can give good advice or feedback (no pun intended) on everything from studio apartments upwards.
@@marknorville2692 If it was built to the full size then have a sliding wall built on the inside of it, it could work. You may get minimal amounts of sound that escapes, but for all intents an purposes, I think a sliding wall has potential. Especially if its track are sunk and uses bearings over wheels.
Man the sheer size of their logistics storage made me realize with this whole product testing warehouse they should preservation efforts into their workflow. Scanning manuals, dumping driver discs, taking photos of pcb's, most of that stuff isn't old but people 20 years from now would be so happy and it's probably the best right-to-repair thing they could contribute to!
Such preservation would add a ton of extra work for no real benefit. It could work only for really niche products. Modern manuals are generic and mostly available in digital form. Drivers are available on producers website (I haven't seen a drivers CD in a long time). Photos of PCBs could violate some ip laws, require a lot of work with disassembling stuff, and sole photos are quite useless. They would have to also do measurements of components on PCBs. To repair stuff you would need a BoardView files. There are many communities around repairing stuff. LMG focuses rather on testing than repairing stuff.
@@DamianTheFirst Use some common sense here. Yes drivers may be available now but how many times have you tried to use legacy hardware and couldn't find drivers. It's for the future. Yes manuals are available now online but what about 10 or 20 years from now? And imaging, scanning or desoldering a pcb is not a violation of IP laws, I don't know where you are pulling that assumption from... I am not saying that LMG should or must archive stuff to this detail, this is moreso in defense of the original comment. However if LMG did want to start a archival section/division, they could setup a non profit organization.
as an engineer who runs his own lab space, it is so satisfying watching this come together properly. people don't understand how much it costs to build a lab from scratch, let alone to actually fill it with equipment.
This is why I'm a software engineer! All I need is a laptop and a Internet connection (and hundreds of dollars worth of equipment is there's any physical component 😭)
As a software engineer myself, I am appreciative of you doing deep dives on the processes and iterations you have to make for the keyboard testing. Because I work in games, I have had my job "explained" to me by gamers who think adding a new feature takes "only a few days" when it doesn't. I'm thankful for videos like this, that help people see that it takes a LONG time to do things, especially from the ground up, before anyone sees any sort of profit or benefit from it.
While I think both sides presented on this comment about game developing are not incorrect, we must remember the sad wrinkly hand that the true market demands from games. Profit.
@@ASimpleInternetUser gamers are on a microscopic level. Modders, scratching the surface. Network security, about 50% there. Unless you're modding for locked devices/games 20%.
As a software engineer; I understand your points, but know that adding a new feature "can" only take a few days, although it's usually never that simple.
Classic backseat development. Expectations have gotten so bad from the gamer community. When a massively talented studio spends several years making a new technology for an amazing feature the community suddenly starts complaining about why your team is not adding the same feature to your game. It's gotten so bad that gamers are mixing terminology and calls you out for not doing this nonexistent thing. "Why aren't you using DLSS to improve the performance of your AI navigation?" (made up example but it really is that bad)
I love how Dan’s setup actually looks like a tech lab sorta setup with those lights and just testing kit, soldering and parts everywhere. Really satisfying haha.
I like that LTT is so big and popular they could keep on trucking as they are but they're like "No. We must invest in ourselves to make our content better AND more accurate". Love to see it
@@iwatchwithnoads7480 Okurka is saying that, because it's tax-deductable, it nullifies OP's sentiment of LTT 'investing in themselves'. I disagree, because some tax-deductable funding doesn't mean they won't have huge time and financial expenses.
@@porschelover04 idk where you're from, but in Canada almost all investment LTT does (except any equity purchase or loaning) made by a company is tax deductible (immediately or amortized). If Linus the man invested instead of LTT the company, he could have missed out on some tax deductions. But he shouldn't do that when the company is this big.
Linus managed to document the struggle of every backend developer ever with Nikolas' segment. It's just so hard to show off the cool backend stuff when you haven't been able to put the frontend together because you're working on the backend
Just today I was on demo session where frontend part was discussed for 30 minutes and backend part, that was 80% of the work was only mentioned on a slide ))
This makes me so glad that LTT is essentially becoming partially a Test Engineering company. Wish you guys all the best and the best consultation to make sure y'all do everything right!
@@Chris-rg6nm This is going to be a big win, testing electronics is a huge pita for companies that can't afford or don't have the incentive to build their own lab, it's a long term investment so few companies undertake it. The result is that smaller companies have to wait for months to get access to good testing facilities to validate their new products. Electronics testing and validation as a service is a good stable income industry to get into, people don't do it because the upfront cost, hiring and logistics are a nightmare, then the profitability becomes stable instead of explosive, and everyone wants to make money quickly so they can pump and dump stocks rather than stable long term growth and investment. That's why these companies are never heard about and often privately/family owned, because they're not attractive to your average quarterly profit seeking investors.
@Eagle3302PL I do wonder where the LMG lab plans to position itself within the current ecosystem of everyone from Intertek / TUV / MET down to your mom and pop EMC tests houses. There are thousands of test labs - what is it that makes the business model of "test lab with 20m youtube subscribers" unique? I think it's awesome, but the way, I just wonder what the angle is here.
Linus is building a fucking empire. This is never an idea I would have thought of in his position but it makes so much sense. I already base a lot of my purchase choices off of ltt reviews and now he's going to elevate things even further. He's going to become the go to expert in the space. I would really not be surprised if companies try to start consulting with ltt on certain products.
McLaren, Lotus, etc all have a consulting arm that does consulting work for other companies like say Ford. So it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to spin off a LTT Consulting arm.
This is actually a little sad too because the way they operate could positively impact *so many* other different spaces but they're only so many people with so much time. Incredible team
If world does not go to shit 3 generations later we will see LTT empire :D it will be something like 'coca cola' or whatever next old brand comes to mind but with tech stuff and maybe not EVIL hehe :DDD
From afar, you'd think that this is just a normal RU-vid tech channel. But it's incredible how much stuff they do. I mean, they have over 100 employees as of May 2023. Craaaazy!
The cool thing about the development of this channel and LMG and a whole, is that Linus really didn't need to go this far. He could've had a few employees and put out decent videos, and had decent succes like that. A lot of tech youtubers do. Instead he goes all out, uses the absolute best equipment, hires great people and goes above and beyond to bring us top notch content daily. Very excited for upcoming content!
@@zqmlk He's basically showing that RU-vid is effectively the streaming equalivent of old fashion TV programs and he's taking his stuff to the extreme. Also, it's worth noting that Canada really likes having celebrities, so he might have won a grant from the government. Just look at FaZe Pamaaj he's been going for years longer than anyone else because he got a head start from his high school.
This is legitimately one of the most exciting things happening for consumers right now, I don't remember the last time I was this excited for something I am only participating in as a viewer.
@@morganzadow4760 Yeah, idk why they have rust all over it. Almost every gas station i know has programs to give a free one fill with gas if you return the tank, inspected, not usually new.
@@morganzadow4760gas bottles routinely have surface rust on them in the UK. Yes, they are returned and swapped, but the bottles get refilled and sometimes repainted but not every time. Retailers and end users generally store them outside. Surface rust is not a structural issue. I can't imagine Canada is any different.
This is seriously exciting to see! Ever since the first 'hints' about testing HDMI & USB type-C cables, this is something *every* consumer can get better info, better suggestions, and overall learn more along the way! Awesome job!!
Honestly, seeing Linus go from weird little reviews for a tech company, to big video production RU-vidr and now to massive company for helping the normal people know more about products while also making awesome and informative videos is wholesome. He has worked for so long to get here and it is really nice to see how big things have gotten.
It will be something much better when they partner or build their own computer peripherals that are 10 times better and at a much better price point. Just seems that a lot of junk is out there even from big companies like logitech.
@@AxTROUSRxMISSLE I hear yeah. I am not planning on buying anything for at least 10 years. That is the goal. Unless there is some major advancement in tech that is super cheap. I do not need anything until something breaks. My tvs and monitors should last 10 years. I hope that my keyboard lasts at least 10 years and I know my mouse should last that long. The only thing I buy is new headphones every once in a while. I have been using the same kind for about 10 years now. Soundbot sb221, simple low cost head phones and gives me what I want. I just have not found any large over the ear kinds that are bluethooth and will last the whole day with out charging. Until there is a pair of Bluetooth head sets with noise canceling that are good quality that will last for 20 hours per day I am not switching.
10:47 - Linus just came to the realisation he's given Alex the tools to not only come up with even more weird cooling solutions, but they could actually become dangerous now!
Honestly once you get this lab done, you could provide consulting services to manufacturers as another stream of revenue. Find some manufacturers that value honest feedback on their products. Given you now have experience in product design and you will have a team trained on scientific product testing.
Hmm sounds like a good idea but that'd immediately invalidate their independence imo. If a company pays you to help develop a keyboard how can you then claim to post unbiased reviews on it and other keyboards for example.
I can't remember what video but iirc this has been brought up before and I believe what was said was basically that there's too much of a conflict of interest for the same reasons @@mattfrench6393 mentioned.
It's crazy to think that Linus started from nothing. And now, how is this whole business I just think it's amazing. It just proves that hard work pays off.
One comment on the IP testing setup. The lab I used to work with use equivalent pressure drop tests. Basically in a sealed chamber, you pressurize it to the equivalent pressure of 1 meter under water, put the item to be tested into the chamber, leave it for 30 minutes, and monitor the pressure inside the chamber. If the pressure drops more than a certain threshold, test fails. This is a non-destructive test and became part of the end of line test. Every item off the line gets a pressure test report
So you messure if water is flowing in the testing item by messure a change in water pressure? Thats a very smart way to do it! Never would have though about it
@@maxischerr i believe he is saying they use air but pressurised to the point where it's the same as if the phone were in water. then you don't risk water getting in the device, just air
@Lupolinar Actually, this would be a more significant test as air is a much smaller particle than water. If something is airtight, it almost certainly is water tight. It's much harder to contain or keep air out than it is water.
@@raviere22 Yes, but water also shows flaws in the charging port design. As in air/water might not get in the device but is everything exposed to the atmosphere also gonna hold up to water conducting electricity or corrosion problems.
I think I speak for everyone when I say. You've got years of brand loyalty and trusted judgement, lifetimes of experience between your team, and plenty of budget to test these things. _Please_ be the one incredible source everyone trusts, and don't play favourites or give bad data or anything else like that. If you can become a reliable source of truth, you could be a titan in the industry.
having followed LTT for YEARS, I can happily say that I'm so proud of the team for their continued commitment to the truth, fairness, and the consumer. they play fair and operate transparently. side note, I'm learning web development and I intend to get some experience under my belt and eventually apply in some future round of hiring. even if I could end up a level 2 engineer elsewhere, I'd rather be a jr dev for LTT (or I guess Floatplane?) EDIT: fat fingered a typo
Linus has spoken about why an Anthony Linux channel wouldn’t be viable on the WAN Show. The gist of it is that Anthony is so useful in many aspects of LMG that having him work on a dedicated channel would be pigeonholing him. I would like to see an LMG Linux channel, it would do wonders for the Linux scene, but I don’t think Anthony is the one to do it.
@@shapshooter7769 Or having Anthony be the host but with writers to help him out, like linus with everything else. Although I don't think Anthony is the kind of guy to just read other people's scripts done without his input
You know what? I'm gonna say it. I'm really happy to see these kind of tours. It reminds most of us how much you guys came along the road. Started from employee, to here, in a decade. The amount of commitment, day after day, is wild! I'll always appreciate Linus and his whole team. If LMG ever goes public (which I know they probably won't), I'll be one of the investors. "Shut up and take my money"
I'm just Kindof scared for the company at this point. There's no way these RU-vid sponsors are enough to pay for even half of Linus's employees and hardware in that warehouse..
@@ireallyreallyreallylikethisimg There's youtube ad income, video sponsors, sponsored projects, floatplane, merchandise, and more that all generate more than enough income. Maybe do some research before spouting out nonsense like "there's no way they can pay for even half of that".
@@ireallyreallyreallylikethisimg They did a video some time ago breaking down where their income is from. They don't tell you how much, but like a pie chart. They've got many sources of income. Atleast before these recent investments Linus said LTT could survive even if youtube went down. So I'm sure their financial situation is alright. But at the same time, high risk high reward. There's a reason why pretty much nobody else in the industry of reviewers do all of this in-house, under one brand/company. It's hard, it's expensive. Which are problems LTT have shown historically that they're good at solving. Have some faith. :)
Remember back in the good old days, when Dr. Thomas Pabst actually ran Tom's Hardware AND wrote the articles? Those real PC builds, down and dirty testing, and actually giving people the information they needed and wanted. That's what this tour is reminding me of so far and I'm not quite halfway through. Thanks Linus and crews, for bringing back what should have been in the first place!
Coming from the world of laboratory testing. Setting up testing equipment is very rigorous and very intense. Just a lot of organization and such. Glad to see LTT to be setting something up to test an industry that really... you don't see a lot of 3rd party testing. I REALLY look forward to what comes of this!
Linus got me actually and really excited for the future of this company. I cant wait what they can deliver and hopefully everyone has fun doing it! Best of luck to the Linus team
If anyone can pull off something so ambitious and bonkers, it's definitely Linus and his team. No one could have predicted what LMG would look like 10 years after it's inception. Keep up the good work!!
As a professional Test Engineer, I am so impressed with this setup, and big respect to LTT for putting this much time and effort into this new lab. Yes, it is expensive to do, but it will pay off in the end with independent validation and testing a big advantage to LTT’s reviewing of the tech that pass through their hands. I do have one suggestion though - perhaps you could have a shock test rig for all of those “rugged” tech devices, as I am sure that Linus doesn’t have the time to drop things continually… 😉
@@BrentCox2B GN is great and I love their work as well. They just don't have the same revenue scale as LTT. It'll be interesting to see how GN slowly adds to their testing suite and how these two different companies compare.
I'm not convinced this will work out financially, but it is so awesome, and this is a space that needed someone to take a risk on. I'm not even a huge tech person, and I am still very excited to see what comes from this, even if I don't understand 95% of what is being said/going on/why it's needed. I won't lie, I have no idea why a key pressing machine exists, but I am really interested in seeing what can be discovered with it. Passion is at the heart of success, and there is a lot of passion in this project.
Yep this lab thing is a lot bigger than i thought they really went and got the best equipment for everything (i dont know how theyre gonna get these millions back but im sure theyve got a plan)
@@stuart2642won't they just be the best reviewers of everything if they have these extreme detailed data and thus attract more people to watch their videos
@@stuart2642 I think Linus is kind of playing up the whole gamble thing for the video's they probably got a lot of it financed/sponsored and have a solid business plan. there's always some risk of course but they wouldn't just buy all this shit on a whim (their bank wouldn't let them XD)
Imo once they get a year's worth of testing done, they'll start asking for companies to pay for comprehensive testing and certification. Because they have such a fanbase/following/notoriety, perhaps getting more thorough testing done for an LTT labs stamp of certification would be worth obtaining for manufacturers etc
It struck me that LTT is now giving key note presentations for its different verticals. Not a criticism but just an acknowledgment of how this channel and company has evolved. Linus very well May now be able to say that he has a real company without needing to do the voice. Congrats even if you don’t always get everything right or cover things as expected. Quite an accomplishment.
Hi Linus and LTT team. Your "destructive" water testing is definitely one way to test phones, but in the watchmaking industry, we have a way of doing it in an almost perfect non-destructive way by doing a reverse pressure water test. This means that you put your testing object in a small sealed tube that can easily fit a phone in the top half with water in the bottom half. You then have a hand pump with a pressure sensor built in - you pump to the pressure of air for the distance below water you wanted to test. For instance, 1 bar is equal to 10m of water depth. Leave the phone at this pressure for 10-15 minutes, then drop the item into water to be just covered, then release the pressure valve at the top. If the test worked, you won't see any air come out of the subject into very shallow water, but if there's air bubbles that come out, it means there's a leak. But because this is a reverse pressure test, the air inside will reach equalibrium with the water if there's a leak at most, which means that your device won't ever have water get inside of it unless there's a major break in the casing. It's a non destructive way of testing water resistance of any type of device :) Video of it in action: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2wOsnBd_7-k.html
Server room solution. Build up the wall to the top. Use the crappy foam as a sound barrier and stick a big ol' piece of MDF in front, bolt it to wall so foam don't fall away.
Linus and team are really one of the few RU-vid channels that has truly pushed their industry forward and become a genuine player in their respective industry. Kudos guys!
Really excited for the RF chamber and the cell reception testing, we desperately need some hard data on smartphone reception. Almost no smartphone review adequately covers this.
I’ve worked in a couple of labs doing controls and electrical, and I gotta say, the amount of progress you’ve made in such a short amount of time is astounding. Setting up a lab from nothing is an insanely time consuming process, super impressed.
Thoroughly impressed at Linus’s move to simply build and create serious infrastructure and staffing to support all the needs of his channel. Hard to imagine anyone else doing this.
Every time I see the large buildings and all the offices I always think „Man this dude was a small enployee with a shitty camera at a fairly small company and now look where he’s at“ It’s truely amazing what he achieved.
I know someone says this under every video, but watching since he was building a mineral oil pc in his kitchen at home to now is just absolutely bonkers. The fact that this lab could genuinely change the consumer landscape alone, tech in general and the promises that companies make to consumers about their gear is going to be held to a higher standard once this place is firing on all cylinders. And its going to make for some compelling content.
Seriously. I know Linus has mention this numerous times that yvonne has been the brains behind all this. But still big props. Only a meeting of mad cap geniuses can do this. Nothing short of a miracle.
I think I am even more excited about the labs then when it first was announced! I kind of feel like it is going to be a big deal (like other media will be referencing LTT labs...).
From tossing cases from a driving car to having your own company to this. It has been a great journey and awesome to have seen it all on your RU-vid channel!
Linus has insane commitment and will man. He's just always looking to improve his brand and when it comes to his company, never takes any shortcuts. You are an inspiration to so many of us!
And to think I started watching this guy back when he was basically no one and then to grow into something this big is wild, almost feels like seeing an old friend from school become famous ya'know?
As someone who both works in hardware development, and a fan of nerdy data, I absolutely love what you're doing with the lab. Can't wait to see the camera testing lab.
That Co-op Student must be living the life. It is awesome to see LTT grow to the scale where universities are willing to use them as a Co-op destination for students.
Not every LTT employee loves it there, and they sign an NDA to not talk. That girl who got hired after the ROG Rig Reboot doesn't have nice things to say..
@@B0H0 There will always be unhappy people at any company. The vast majority are clearly happy with the work they do and anyone who isn't is allowed to leave in pursuit of a different job.
Labs is an incredible idea that has blossomed into a long term play that no one else has had not only the drive to do but also the smarts and world class team that hones that raw dragon energy into something truly unparalleled. You and the entire LMG team have always been a voice for good and change in the tech industry and only good can come of this. Seriously, watching you guys grow over the years has been an incredible story and inspiration to me and countless others.
Patiently awaiting the full metal LTT PC cases 👀 Crazy to see how far LTT has come since I started watching many many years ago. Really happy for everyone there. I watch EVERY video even if I'm not interested in the subject solely for the fact of all the hard work that goes into each one.
It warns me inside to know that there are still gyus like LInus. Started in on park bench and now buying 500k foam...big thumbs up to him and his team but mostly to his wife!
as a former NASA materials testing engineer, i love all of this. I cant wait to see the results of all this testing. you are not stupid linus, this seems bleeding edge consumer testing.
I find it hilarious when Linus find out how much his staff spend on products when it’s right in front of him. It’s like no one loops him in on the budgeting 😂
That's how companies work. You pay people well enough, and reward them over the years, they will dedicate themselves as much as a owner to the point you can trust these people to spend millions on your behalf knowing your going to get a better quality than is needed for a good price all relatively. LOL.
Forky is solid because that chassis you hit is a counter weight. It's just heavy and dense metal designed to keep the lift from tipping over when the crew lifts your car up onto the roof.
This chad went from being a tech channel with a couple of people in 2009 to being a LITERAL COMPANY that now makes videos testing products that is now also a PART OF THEIR COMPANY and still makes tech videos with like thousands of people with 15.2M subs!!! You guys are absolutely insane and I love it! Been watching since late 2017 maybe early 2018 on an iPhone 4S and still watching now on a Desktop. Keep up the amazing videos!
I love how Linus bought literally everything but a Fan Tester. It's like all the tech channels have an agreement not to interfere with testing other people's stuff. I never knew Linus was into Gentlemen's agreements like that. what a cool guy
Not to mention he gets to put all that money into something else. btw, your comment got copied by a bot and has 70 likes and 4 replies. Got to love youtube and their ability to find bots, delete them, and not promote them.
@@captianmorgan7627 It was still there when I opened the video, after watching it I wanted to see the replies of that comment, didn't load, I refreshed and it was gone. So it seems to work :D
I love that you guys are doing this. Citizen science! Consumer advocacy! Unmitigated nerdiness! Linus turning his own entire life into an episode of Holy $H!T! Great stuff.
As someone who use to design warehouses, please be careful with the weight you put on that rivet racket; if one section fails(overloaded) the rest will follow. I was happy seeing light grade pallet rack for the tvs though.
You're bringing back memories from my job over the past decade. Doing half a dozen office movies and "small IT team for growing company" vibes, this sort of positive growth is ultra nerdy and motivating. Normally the non-tech part of the company didn't care at all (just wanted to use it and only got mad if something didn't work) - but the tech people among the org really appreciated a lot of this stuff. Fun times.
