  • You dont notify the government directly, you notify the news desks of MSNBC, Fox, ABC and the major newspapers. Do it via express postage envelopes a few days out, include any publicly available info on hijackers, flight numbers and times.

    The Government might ignore it as a hoax, but not if they know that the information has come via every major news outlet in the country. They have to act.






  • LTT is tech content like Donut media is Automotive content. It’s edutainment at most.

    I find it funny the amount of hate that LTT gets, it’s niche entertainment and you can watch it absolutely free anywhere in the world and Linus rejected a 9 figure sum to keep ownership of something he built, say that out loud… “He turned down over $100,000,000.” Yes they flog merch and have floatplane and all that bullshit but that’s how they stay independent.

    You can take Donut and Motortrend as examples of how it all goes to shit. MT were YT only, then moved to their own paid streaming platform, then sold out to a network and told all their international subscribers to kick rocks because the network deal was more money.

    Or the Donut route, where you get bought by venture capital who suck all the fun out of the job, try to monetise everything and wind up having all the talent leave and go start their own channels because they took a fun job and just made it a job.











  • As a massive car enthusiast ChatGPT is a fucking GODSEND now that Google is completely shit.

    I wanted to know what model of transmission was in a car, hours of googling only returned me link after link after link of gearboxes to buy, parts for gearboxes to buy all like 2000 - 2004 make and model. Now for those who dont know, gearboxes are often internally the same with different casings for different manufacturers or use cases, so “How much horsepower can a make and model gearbox support” is a waste of time but “How much power can an Aisin A340e support” gets you the right info.

    I asked Chatgpt, and yep. Thats the one.
