Will the real Linus Sebastian please stand up

Whoever came up with the dots in the graphs needs a raise, and I strongly encourage the team to find other ways to make the graphs more readable without having to pause the video to read.


Off the top of my head, including brand logos or color coding the text could be an option, but I also think you could actually highlight whichever bar(s) the speaker is talking about

Using dots for visualization for the graphs is genius. It makes it 10x more readable and makes me follow the content that much better. Keep it up! Whoever did that diserves a raise.

"Introducing the Ryzen AI"
"What's AI about it?"
"The investors."

Linus out here reviewing 2024 technology with 1994 style.

About the thumbnail: your sling is on backwards :-) The fabric hugging your body should go over the shoulder opposite your injured arm and the other side (the part closest to the camera) should go over the should on the injured side. This makes it easier to access the arm for any kind of treatment while the sling is on.

Huge fan of the dot visuals for the graphs. Makes it surprisingly so much easier to follow along!

[wotenjoyer]

We got yellow haired Linus before GTA 6😭

[Nostalgia_Realm]

The fact that we still have new devices with unreliable WiFi connection is mind boggling to me. I've seen that problem so many times in the field

[jacklhorton]

The dots on the graphs are awesome. Nice upgrade guys!

[JBRGQ]

I purchased the Asus Vivobook S16 AMD back in January purely on recommendations from LTT and its an absolutely brilliant machine glad I took the plunge

[MartijnVerberk]

The white dots on the graph that indicate which products are mentioned are really nice. Way easier to follow the story this way.

[desk-kun]

Close enough, welcome back duke nukem linus

[enscivwy]

thank you guys for making videos but I wanna say its insanely annoying when the video is lower volume and then the ad cuts to a higher volume audio. please normalize the volumes

[cosmovg]

I think the hair color is for scrapyard wars😂 excited for the next episode

[bahamutbbob]

Most people won't know this, but the "*groan*" is part of the chip's name!

[deathdoor]

Even if the performance jump wasn't as big as some were expecting, seeing other reviews numbers it's true, the power efficiency improved greatly. It's really remarkable.

[porklaser]

Good on you guys for calling out the Wi-Fi chips. Anyone who struggled with the Marvell Wi-Fi in older Surface devices knows what a frustrating struggle it is when you device is packing substandard Wi-Fi support.

[JMUDoc]

If you were around in the late 80's/early 90's, you'll remember when every fucking thing ever made had "TURBO" as part of the name.
That's what "AI" is now.

0:22 - nobody talks about the superb great scott reference? 😂
