Some people say he quit after he got his upgrade, I think linus made his upgrade the next one in a kind of "no you won't get away before I give you this upgrade" move as a reward for all the years working together, I mean look at the goodbye video, and you can see linus at the verge of crying half the time

[@veerium]

OR they shoot this episode way way ahead even before taran announced his resignation, they never mentioned or any hint that taran will leave lmg so this video isn't shoot recently. Like saying directly this is goodbye present or something like that in the video.

On camera people show their best selves, if the end result is a disrespectful interaction between Linus and Taran on camera; then most likely it is worse off camera. If they show their dislike and disrespect for each other, knowing that Taran is leaving after the upgrade, it makes one wonder if Taran is really quitting or simply being fired for a better replacement,afterall LTT has grown quite a lot.

I relate so hard to Taran and his particular and quirky ways. And his apparent habit of never throwing out or replacing something until it is utterly unusable.

[@ccgert]

Linus's stare after talking about the custom depth of Taran's desk needs to be a mouse mat.

[@michaelmasin1996]

With Taran's desk dimensions

[@Psywearebabylon]

Yet custom depth is exceptionally helpful, I got a desk commissioned (mainly for the quality and strength, but the depth also mattered) as whilst im short I got long fucken arms, so having my keyboard and mouse way back just infront of my monitor is nearly impossible on most commercial products.

[@mariomgreer2742]

I saw Taran good bye video before this, and we can see where Taran was, psychologicaly speaking. The way he is being very protective of his privacy, the lack of will to change something on his own, even if it's very deteriorated. I'm happy he's better now

[@AdamHansen95]

Taran and Linus have known each other for so long, that this isn't just another episode of Intel Extreme Tech Upgrade with a boss and his employee, this is an extreme tech upgrade with two bros. Linus messes with Taran, Taran ignores Linus, and they both roast each other😂🤣

@@lupo.420 I guess I can see that if this is the first time you have seen him. But he has been doing a lot of amazing work for LMG for longer than most, and was a great personality the times he was on camera. Even on his own channel listening to him discussing his own projects is really interesting seeing his thought process.

My favourite bit was when Taran declared that Linus was an agent of chaos. He said it so easily as well. This is truly peak Taran. I eagerly await the next installment of "Taran gives us an exquisitely detailed and nuanced opinion of a niche video editing peripheral"

I noticed the fluffies right at the beginning. When they were mentioned i was no longer perplexed. Nice touch.

Thats mans work ethics are respectable af. Not many people go to the measures of seperating work and gaming, regarding PCs.

[@philgoodinc2]

That new blue table top looks like a BEKANT table top. It’s designed for the BEKANT underframe which has additional structural support underneath so it doesn’t bow and bend. I would not recommend your combination long term. We use these in the office and are plenty strong enough. -From an IKEA customer service center worker.

[@MHWGamer]

absolutely. No wonder the table is wobble like hell with these few rods.

[@rendaddy_]

I just bought a Bekant frame, love it. Any of them going bad? :P

[@falsemcnuggethope]

Now the question is why did they only find this out from a KZbin comment? It's not great for the company either if the customers buy only half of what they need. Fix it.

[@sdzhinovski]

Yes, while it's a bit wobbly front-to-back, I can probably jump on this thing and it will hold me.

[@davidchristoffersen1404]

I like Taran's thinking about bleeding edge, its bleeding edge as it really can fail for no reason, tried and true is a good way of making sure it works it might be a few months/years old but atleast you know it is solid.

[@paulbrooks4395]

He’s the classic Prima Dona creative perfectionist, but he doesn’t have a Mac or wear turtlenecks. I’d love to see a Taran and Dennis podcast. It would be a beautiful disaster.

Outstanding move from Taran getting his intel upgrade before handing in his notice.

[@drdennsemann]

This guy is very passive aggressive

[@spikejnz]

I love that he bought an IKEA desktop, but didn't get the corresponding frame for the desk, and doesn't like how unstable it is. I have that desk, with the correct frame, and I have two 34" ultrawides, a laptop, docking station, and xlr mic with boom arm all on the desk, and it doesn't wobble in the least.

[@CockatooDude]

Yeah it's the frame that gives it all of it's strength. Like somehow it seems to me that people just don't get how structures work.

[@Timonius93]

Agree that it should be quite obvious that the plate on its own is not sturdy.... But I would also not be surprised if Taran had a very particular reason for not using the frame. Like that the frame blocks his armrests or he wanted to recycle the legs. He also said that it was temporary and whatever he said the next thing was going to be, it sounded more sturdy.

[@fi5ke]

True. I just build mine yesterday and the top is some wobbly shit in it self. Hey btw. How is the top handling the boom arm mount etc? I’m afraid mine will make a mark when fully extended and what about adding a monitor arm? 🤔

[@Timonius93]

@@fi5ke Not sure what table it was, if it was a bekant, there are no issues with any marks of mounts. I have had dual screens on an arm that is fit to the rim of the table for many years. You see nothing.
