Wasn’t expecting them to actually set the laptop on fire

[sidhles]

I love how he thought that we were actually following along and not eating pizza at 2 am

[sajinkahnalt]

Me: watched Linus set fire to a laptop
Also me: staring a bit too hard at the container of lighter fluid r i g h t next to the fire

[kofa]

I love how linus has his own ad in ads and his sponsor in the video. That’s massive stonks and i approve it.

[SnareGG]

I use my own VPN to play LAN only games with friends interstate.
I've been doing it since Halo:CE and currently do it with minecraft.
There's your 5th use case.

[matuzuma.]

Linus: *pouring lighter fluid on laptop*
Me: He wouldnt actually do that would he?
Linus: *lights laptop on fire*
Me: Honestly I'm not surprised.

[Rankhole]

...“like your Internet provider or bad actors“ - wait thats the same thing

[henryatkinson]

tunnel bear's death caused grief
PIA's sponsorship was hope
PIA's death was acceptance
and this is the result

[frederikschannel]

I love how you basically roasted all of your previous sponsors at the beginning

[capp]

3:02 YES LINUS JUST LEAVE THE BOTTLE OF FLAMMABLE LIQUID NEXT TO THE GROWING FIRE

[KP-kdkp]

INTRO: “noob”

Didn’t need to come at me like that bro

[SteveAle_ID]

"our latency is obviously worse"

sees 62 ping ms
me laughs in 2075

[peppybocan]

3:15 when you leave a bottle of liquid lighter next to an open flame. Kudos to LTT!

[brianfong]

3:03 When LTT's insurance company realized its rates were too low.


I mean he left the lighter fluid bottle next to fire and the laptop's lithium ion battery. You are asking for a Samsung event to happen with sprinkles on top.

[Unslain]

Linus should set up his own VPN for everyone

[vipercraft]

Linus 2019: "our sponsor, tunnel bear, the most secure VPN."
Linus 2020: you cant trust any VPN, even one made by you

[TobiOlan]

Linus: TunnelBear can't be trusted

Me: Hold on, this whole operation was your idea

[systemofapwne]

What I missed in the "set up VPN"-part was the checkbox "block outside DNS" being checked. Without that, you risk a DNS bleed/leak.

[Pluneto]

Linus: The first question you need to ask yourself is "What do I need a VPN for?".
Me: Yeah so for legal reasons, I am gonna refrain from saying that...

[TheJarJarKinks]

As someone whose last use of torrents was legitimately just getting a Linux iso, I feel simultaneously attacked and vindicated.
