I love that my PC just died the exact moment when there's Asus drama and I have to talk to them to see if there's still warranty 😂😂

[denehaku]

Dropping hot bars with the tech news!?

[DNINETY]

“How should we spice up todays tech linked script?”

Riley probably: “slam poetry..?”

[kyunikoi]

The day adblockers stop working on YouTube, is the day I stop using YouTube.

[JaredKuharski]

I remember when Linus had his own “Trust Me Bro” moment.

[ianhughes]

You have to say that Riley and James brighten up every day of the week with there passion and energy and what they share with world it just fab and imo we need more people like this in the world

Asus: *voids warranty of motherboards*
me: *laughs in Quebec's legal warranty*

[reesesman]

I love how jayztwocentz put his money where his mouth was and dropped asus from sponsorships

[Ray_Vun]

it's hilarious that google thinks blocking ad blockers will result in people either watching ads or paying for youtube premium, when the reality is that it'll either cause people to find(or some even create) an ad blocker that works with chrome, or switch to a browser that isn't chromium based, like firefox

[RyouTheMad]

moving away from chrome and chromium based browsers was one of my best online decisions ever made it seems

[ImYourBias]

It was honestly a drag and a bit nerve wracking buying outside of Asus for my last motherboard but another brand had the only model at the price point that met my requirements. Glad I took the leap; my familiarity isn’t holding me back and I don’t have any other Asus products anymore so it’s pretty easy to just not buy from them anymore if they continue like this.

3:38 to get more people to switch to firefox 🤣

[nogoat]

IMO this is worse than Trust me bro because y'all didn't claim that a crucial fix would void your warranty.

[karanssh]

I love that james is right about the rant length of 30 minutes and the happy Saturday is true too! 😂

[Skymack]

1:34 You're correct! I am watching this after the show. Just got done watching it! XD Happy Saturday to you too!

[michealboudreaux]

The irony that Linus literally did the "just trust us" on their backpack originally and now his team (rightly) takes pot shots at Asus for doing the same kinda thing...*chef's kiss*

[haves_]

3:26 ah yes what every developer always scared of ...
"open-source" software backed by an entire company

[dingodog]

Im lucky that Brave ad block doesn't get destroyed by youtube

[allenellisdewitt]

I appreciate that the editor/thumbnail artist agree that what Linus tried to do was not acceptable.

[freemansfreedom]

3:20 guess what AdBlock users do when a website pulls that? They leave the site not to visit ever again. Good way to make people leave your platform 👍
