It was a much more popular idea when the stick PCs were all the rage a few years ago when Intel released the Compute Stick. Since the stick itself couldn't really accommodate much in the way of IO, things were being put in the power brick instead. Ethernet, USB, etc.

I love you called it an iPad when you started talking about the Dbrand skin. LOL!

[@zarblitz]

Touch ID on the back of the iPhone needs to be a thing. I had the Pixel 2 with the sensor on the back and it was perfect for one handed use. I could pull it out of my pocket and unlock it as I was bringing it up to look at.

No youtube reviewer rough handle products like him, absolutely no one can beat him hahha. That's why I'm his biggest fan. Keep up the rough work. :D

[@TheRealCodyPope]

finally linus has said it touch id on the apple logo ive been asking for this since iphoneX like many have so common apple

[@noah.carrier]

Most positive Linus hosted Apple video I’ve seen in a bit. I know he’s emphasized he doesn’t *hate* Apple but still more positive than normal

[@andersnorddaljendresen8769]

He did use lots of hidden sarcasm though 😂

[@bacstaber6253]

Its usually negative cause it usually sucks in alot of ways lol

[@cybercery5271]

Yeah, finally feels like he stopped catering to edgy 14 year old kids who think hating apple is cool

[@HilbertXVI]

@@cybercery5271 lol wut

[@nickryan3417]

Almost certainly because if he criticised it, Apple would throw a strop and stop sending him stuff or talking to him at all. They're rather like that...

[@sirflimflam]

My main monitor is 27", previously upgraded from 24". Honestly I think these two sizes are the best in size to desk space utilization. Going up to 32" and above just seems excessive for a literal desktop display.

[@momento4666]

32" is too much i agree

[@-morrow]

not when its ultra wide, love it for productivity

[@-morrow]

@Filip Jovanovic yes, ultrawides commonly are 21:9 (mostly 1440px in height). I don't like 4K 28" for productivity since in a 2x2 grid 4x14" 1080p monitors are just too small for me to work with and in a 2x1 the windows are very narrow. with ultrawide I really like that I can have two ~square windows (1720x1440) besides each other or 3 narrow ones. I can also recommend curved ultrawide, I don't have too move my head around much.

[@zacburkhardt5464]

I agreed with this, until I went with a 34 inch ultra wide. Going back to literally anything else is difficult. Being in school, I couldn’t tell you the last time I didn’t have 2 applications running and being able to have word, and a browser open, or an IDE and a browser open is amazing.

[@PassportBrosBusinessClass]

Haven’t watch a Linus video in about 6 years and how he’s bought a Mac. How 2020 changed us all

I can't tell if Linus was being sarcastic or serious in the whole video.

The beginning was full sarcasm then some sarcasm here and there. Not the whole video.

[@BenjjyBoi]

Yes

[@albyboy4278]

Linus was being; What is this shit! 🤣

[@MrSanemon]

I have a friend who does IT work for dental offices, and their front desk machine might be low specced like you mention but they have to have a beast for their xray machine. Xeon, 64gb of ram, 10 gigabit ethernet, and a quadro are pretty much the standard faire.

[@BOOFSIDEPINS]

Yeah, no. My dental office runs it's X-Ray machines off Windows XP.

[@MrSanemon]

@@BOOFSIDEPINS Not sure what software y'all are using. I was referring to new installs but they had X-rays back in 2002, I'm sure many a cheap dentist will try to hold off on upgrading as long as humanly possible.

The placement of USB-C port might allow for hiding cables, but it also remove the option of having it flush with a wall

[@shrub9677]

it couldn't be because of the stand anyway

[@mhstagg]

Linus sliding that around on the desk at the start had me anxious...

"Hey siri, open my documents folder" my iPhone on the desk *awakens*

[@cemops8660]

iphones and macs work really well together, along with apple watches. i have my iphone and watch on, and when i say hey siri only my phone activates because it is louder and better for using siri on. same with macs and iphones, only mac activates

[@cemops8660]

unless, of course, you're using your iphone.

[@JamesConnolly1994]

You should probably retrain your voice model, it’s not a smart speaker it should only activate for your voice not anyone in the room. 😅-

You have the same voice as Linus?

[@scj643]

Lightning can do USB 3 speeds . The camera adapter is USB 3 and the iPad Pro 10.5 inch is USB 3 on the lightning connector

[@grahammcdonald]

I’m sure the box designers had that opening in their minds.

[@xalex7923]

Imagine only having the option to select the color and not even that with dbrand :p

[@datutturugang666]

honestly, design wise, i still prefer toe old 2012 iMac, it’s just too good for my taste, but i gotta say, owning multiple m1 processors, i’m super happy with how they roll

[@marissanewman9273]

Linus flipping around that monitor makes me want to cry

[@AndersHass]

The current monitor arm could connect to the monitor's USB C for then to have USB in the monitor arm

[@derickrisner2601]

I just got finished watching a video from Shadiversity about how people confuse Damascus Steel with Folded Steel when in reality they are not the same thing. What are the odds that the next video I watch is Linus confusing the same steels!? Honestly, I would have probably made the same mistake a few hours ago. I'm not upset, just baffled at the serendipity.

[@LinusTechTips]

Lol oh no!

[@derickrisner2601]

No problem. As I said, I didn't even know there was a difference until a few hours before. Keep up the great work!

[@84jdgregory]

Dbrand is awesome I have them on my Series X but that does NOT look like Damascus steel. Looks more like something you'd find on a Lowrider car.

[@taylorbroad8941]

Also to note, they offer a VESA version as well. Which, I think, when paired with wireless peripherals, is a great option for reception desks or offices with a customer facing situation.

[@Frog-ko6uu]

Especially with the Ethernet already in the adapter, that’s one cable to worry about and when the peripherals eventually need to be charged there’s always an iPhone charger around somewhere

[@whette_fahrtz]

@@Frog-ko6uu Yeah the charging thing is so overblown. You can literally just plug it in for like 10 seconds and have enough charge to last until your lunch break, then just plug it in when you leave your desk. It ain't hard. I used a MM for years without it ever interrupting my work. You can get the stand replaced with a VESA mount, or vice versa after the fact as well through AppleCare and a small fee. In the iFixit teardown you can see the big row of screws holding the stand in.

[@BigOlBilliam]

Watching this, all the sudden I was like, "Wait, is someone in the studio watching Timthetatman?"

Considering that he mentioned Damascus camo from MW seemed to give a hint.

[@ChrisRoxby]

Amazing. Linus went 9 whole minutes without shouting about their store.

[@officialsterlingarcher]

ehhh turning true tone off for the iPhone is something I always do. But turning it off for my MacBook doesn't feel right lol The blue light totally kills my eyes after looking at it for a while and the true tone adds a pretty good balance to that.
