Yeap. Turns out Linus is another piece of shit too. How sad.

All valid points. But regarding the measurements, neither LTT or GN testing methodology are realy scientific. Those are youtubers with limited understanding of experimental design and analysis. I have never seen them do simple significance tests or try to explain the variability in the data. But I havent watched all the videos so 乁⁠(⁠ ⁠•⁠_⁠•⁠ ⁠)⁠ㄏ

For the variability point, they do tests in as a controlled environment as they could, and do the tests until they get consistent data. But what do you mean by significance test and how can they do it?

I agree they're not the gold standard but they're the best we got in terms of independent third party testers, and I would assume they're more than good enough for tech stuff.
