I don't know about anyone else but is stuff makes fairly good background noise. They bring up a lot of tech news on wan show that I normally wouldn't seek out, and at least there you have Luke to kind of be the f****** voice of reason, right? Most of that show is just sitting in the background for me waiting to hear Luke call Linus out.

As far as reviews, It's great to have an early look at a card here and there or some of the stuff at a trade show. because they get access to it, but watching them actually try to test something is like watching Mythbusters. None of their actual product reviews are trustworthy in my mind. They're too wrapped around sponsors there's so much content you lose track of what's being sponsored and what's not. Like him buying into that laptop company, then putting them on every time he gets a chance. Your average person isn't going to properly compartmentalize the cool features of the laptop versus he selling it to you. And honestly he is pretty damned effective at sales.

It's very low investment entertainment for me. If I'm in the middle of a show and my wife says hey can you go do blah blah blah I just stop the show and walk away it's no big deal. If I don't come back and watch the rest of that episode there will just be another 6 hour long episode a week later.
