    LTT like most of the tech channels these days are just sponsored content intended to sell you stuff with occasional clickbait or ragebait spruced in between. Which is a shame because back in the day it was like Top Gear of nerdy tech. Their quality has been in decline for years which for me culminated with what they did to Billet Labs. This video didn’t bring anything new to the table but is designed to bring views because Nintendo hate is trending. Yes, capitalism is bad and we all exist in a capitalistic society, news at 11.

      In my eyes the quality went up a lot after that wake up call made them overhaul their production process, but it’s a shame it took one. For the Billat Labs testing on the wrong card, the private emails did eventually come out showing Billet Labs agreed to doing it that way and then lied about it, so I’s hard to sympthasize.

      Fair enough, I found the USB protocol analysis interesting, haven’t seen that before.

        To me it looks like more of the same, which has always been okay on the surface. Billet Labs fuckup was about more than keeping their sample, it was about negligent approach that amounted to measurable harm to their business. I doubt LTT can fix this long term because their core business is selling ad space for gadget makers and they are still in the race to the bottom, just with better economies of scale.

      Unless somebody (you?) posted another video showing the output of such an USB analyzer here, it does bring something new to the table. It’s definitively 1000% more insightful than your “LTT, ewww” comment.

          I meant this Nintendo video, not USB one.

          This Nintendo video is about the USB issue. So you troll without even watching what it’s all about…

            I assumed (in good faith) that there was some (other) original and useful video from LTT about some USB technicalities you guys were referring to :)

            I’ll have to stand by my original take that this video is just a rehash of research done by other people.
