Linus Tech Tips is a YouTube channel starring Linus Sebastian, featuring technology and PC reviews, news, PC builds, and guides. It was originally a secondary channel to NCIX Tech Tips, which was run by Linus and an anonymous camera and editing crew for the now-defunct Canadian tech retailer NCIX. In early 2013, Linus and NCIX split ways, and Linus took the Linus Tech Tips channel with him, although he continued to present videos for NCIX Tech Tips on contract until the end of 2015.In 2013, along with the split from NCIX, Linus founded the Linus Media Group to manage the channel, alongside co-host Luke Lafreniere and editor Edzel Yago. Within a few months, they added Brandon Lee (not to be confused with that Brandon) as a shooter and editor, and the channel snowballed from there. Since then, the company has grown to nearly 80 employees, and started a number of additional channels, projects, and video series. These include: The WAN Show: A video Podcast featuring Linus and Luke discussing tech and gaming news from the previous week. Occasionally features guest hosts, especially when Linus and/or Luke are unavailable, with James being a frequent relief host in recent times. Airs Fridays, streamed simultaneously to the LTT Twitch and YouTube channels. Scrapyard Wars: A Reality Show in which Linus and Luke compete to build the best PCs on the smallest budget. Between seasons 3 and 6, Linus and Luke were joined by guests in each season: Season 3: a three-way contest: Linus vs. Luke vs. Austin Evans Season 4: Linus & Bob vs. Luke & Rod (Bob and Rod from BS Mods) Season 5: Linus & Luke vs. Kyle (Bitwit) & Paul (Paul's Hardware)note Kyle and Paul had initially won; however it was revealed that Paul broke the rules by using a hard drive he already owned in his and Kyle's build, and their win was nullified. Season 6: Linus & Dmitry (HardwareCanucks) vs. Luke & Jay (JayzTwoCents) Season 7: A classic Linus vs. Luke battle, with the invokedadded challenge of not being able use the Internet in any capacity (e.g. no Google, no social media, no email, no web classifieds such as Craigslist or Kijiji, etc.) to acquire parts. Techquickie: A channel featuring quick lessons on various technology topics, geared in general towards the layman. Channel Super Fun: A channel featuring the Linus Media Group staff taking part in tomfoolery of all sorts, from water balloon fights to jousting on Swegways to mercilessly pranking each other. Was updated regularly for a few years, but fell dormant in the late 2010s, with occasional uploads. Was revived again in early 2020, with repeated promises that the channel is indeed back from the dead. TechLinked: A tech news channel, with uploads every Monday, Wednesday and Friday (mostly, ish). Also has a Podcast variation on most music streaming services like Spotify. ShortCircuit: A tech unboxing and quick overview channel. Effectively, a spinoff of Linus Tech Tips that brings back the older style of videos that were pioneered back when LTT was itself just the dumping ground for videos that wouldn't meet the production standards of NCIX Tech Tips. They're Just Movies: A weekly movie review podcast. Formerly known as Carpool Critics. Mac Address: A channel dedicated to just Apple products, hosted by Jonathan Horst.In addition to their YouTube channels, LTT also boasts an active forum community at LinusTechTips.com. In 2016, after the demise of Vessel, Luke's role shifted towards developing a new paid web platform for videos, titled Floatplane, and in January 2018 this project was spun off into its own independent company, with Linus as CEO and Luke as COO. | |

Visual Pun: In "The BEST Keyboards Under $75!", Linus sets down the keyboard boxes and says "Now let's see how they fall into place", then knocks them down like dominoes. In "This GPU SLIDES into this Case!", Linus tests cooling configurations of a graphics card in a small case. The testing with and without a plastic shroud shroud respectively show a green checkmark and a red X over the profile picture of Polish-Canadian esports gamer Michael Grzesiek, better known as Shroud. | |

The Klutz | |
| Linus Tech Tips (Web Video) / int_1bdbbbae | comment |
The Klutz: Linus is known to drop expensive tech (most notoriously an Intel Xeon Platinum 8180, a $10,000 cream-of-the-crop workstation CPU), to the point of it becoming a Running Gag and a defining feature of his public and professional persona. While attempting to reassemble the iMac Pro, Emily accidentally touches the power supply PCB while trying to reattach the display, dropping and permanently damaging the display. The Couch Gag of "It Took Me a YEAR to Get This"note The episode where Linus remodels his house with a gaming computer one floor beneath its keyboard, mouse and monitor. Lampshades this. After Linus shows off a brand new Prime TX-1000 PSU with an 80 Plus Titanium rating from Seasonic. The Couch Gag says "he'll probably drop it". | |

Censored Title | |
| Linus Tech Tips (Web Video) / int_1cdada2a | comment |
Censored Title: According to Luke, a 2013 video entitled "Low End Video Cards Rant & Radeon R7 240 Unboxing & Review" was internally called "Low End Graphics Cards Are S**t". The entire series "Holy $h!t" (pronounced 'Holy [Beep]'), which is mostly about expensive or otherwise incredible or mindblowing technology. The entire series "$H!T Manufacturers Say", which debunks outrageous claims some tech manufacturers say about their products. Averted with "How to Hide Your Porn", though Luke does go to great lengths to avoid saying the word within the actual video itself, and even when bringing the video up in a WAN Show segment. | |

Spiritual Successor | |
| Linus Tech Tips (Web Video) / int_27a42ebc | comment |
Spiritual Successor: invoked "HEARTBROKEN... NCIX YouTube Channel" explicitly states that TechLinked is the spiritual successor to Netlinked Daily, the former daily news show on NCIX Tech Tips. After NCIX went bankrupt in 2017, Linus tried everything he could to purchase the YouTube channel and related assets, with the intention of at least reviving Netlinked. When this plan fell through, they instead launched TechLinked, with Riley Murdock, the final presenter of Netlinked, as the main writer and presenter. | |

Strange Minds Think Alike: When Linus and co. visit FreeGeek Vancouver he is digging through some old cables and comes across a bunch of PSU couplers to run two power supplies off the same motherboard, and mentions that Austin could have used them during Scrapyard Wars where he was running a PC with two power supplies. Linus calls over a FG staffer to show them to him, and the staffer says unprompted that Austin could have used them during Scrapyard Wars. | |

Ludicrous Precision: One of the many problems discussed in "Why our Screwdriver took 3 YEARS" said the ratchet would jam on one of the production samples. The problem turned out to be a lever made 1/5000ths of an inch out of spec. Because it's a lever, the error ended up getting multiplied and causing the jam. | |

Left It In: The Techlinked Episode "OpenAI Is Completely Fine", has host Riley explain the same theory twice about Altman vs the old board at OpenAI and the reasoning for the former's return. This is because Riley had clearly flubbed the line, so a second take was done, but the original take had been kept in the final video too. On a related note, the opening Couch Gag has a green screen visible for a few seconds as Riley walks into the room, though this did get an acknowledgement via the timestamps, named "u have seen the void". | |

What a Piece of Junk | |
| Linus Tech Tips (Web Video) / int_437e70f5 | comment |
What a Piece of Junk: Linus is no stranger to building sleeper PCs that utilize old cases but are packed with high-performance hardware and cooling options. There are three builds nicknamed "Hubert", "Dale", and "Margaret"; as well as a rig built inside an Xbox. Furthermore, Intel commissioned a build for him that uses the case of an IBM 5150 and sports the Core i7-8086K, a CPU that celebrates the 40th anniversary invoked of its direct ancestor, the 8086. And then, there's another sleeper PC that uses the case of a Micron Millennia and is packed with hardware such as the Crucial Ballistix RAMnote Micron is the parent company of Crucial. and an RTX 2070 (which is later replaced with an RTX 3080). And then, there's yet another sleeper PC that uses the case of a Compaq Presario 5000 and is built with components bought from Micro Center.note The build, which amounted to $2,100, was later sold to two lucky guys for only $20. | |

Tranquil Fury | |
| Linus Tech Tips (Web Video) / int_443b78cd | comment |
Tranquil Fury: It's very rare for Linus to actually be angry on-camera when doing a review of a product sent to him, but he does have his moments: In his Intel Core i9 10980XE Review, he gets more than a little angry at Intel having the gall to set the NDA for reviewing the chip at midnight, mere hours before AMD's Threadripper 3900-series of processors were going to be announced and go on sale: When talking about Nvidia blacklisting fellow tech youtuber Hardware Unboxed on the WAN show, he tears them a new one over the course of about 25 minutes. Linus tears Nvidia another new one over the company's kowtowing to cryptocurrency miners with the introduction of the CMP line of mining cards, stating the cards' long-term unsustainability once another crypto bust occurs and the cards end up as e-waste. The WAN Show for April 29th, 2022 has Linus extremely furious at Teamviewer messaging him to upgrading ad nauseum, despite the fact he made clear, multiple times, to the company, that he doesn't want to, as his Teamviewer setup already works as is, and has no interest in upgrading from his older versions' perpetual license for the newer version he would have to pay for again. Teamviewer cold-calling him to pressure him into upgrading really pulls a chord with him, especially when he was assured that they had a list of people like Linus who do not want to upgrade (which he points out is either Blatant Lies and such list never existed, or some people in the company do not care and call him and others anyway). During a WAN show Linus alludes to the aftermath of the clip where Dennis and Coltan try to secretly live in his house for 24 hours video. He admits while he did not yell he was perhaps the angriest he had ever been at any of his employees. For context, Linus had just moved into his mint fresh new house and the pair managed to do "not a small ammount of moneys worth of damage" to it including taking a huge chunk out of one of the hand rails (tripping and bashing a camera frame off of it), dripping paint over the new carpets and dropping a bed onto the literally new wooden floor then dragging it leaving a crater among other things. He believes yelling doesn't accomplish anything but it still takes a huge ammount not to lose it in that situation. | |

Technology Porn | |
| Linus Tech Tips (Web Video) / int_50f848cc | comment |
Technology Porn: All over the place, but particularly the 7 Gamers 1 CPU build, featuring a PC worth a whopping $30,000. Like its name suggests, it's able to run seven gaming rigs within one tower. Then he topped it with 8 Gamers 1 CPU, by not only adding one more gamer but addressing Problems like having everyone be near the PC at the same price. In the same vein, an ongoing project as of October 2018 is 6 Editors 1 CPU. Comprising two $10,000 processors and six $3,000 graphics cards, the entire project cost is around $40,000. The 'Holy $h!t' series is built on this, with expensive or otherwise incredible technology being the point of the series. Possibly epitomized by the 16k gaming miniseries, wherein Linus and the team put together what would be the internet's very first successful attempt at 16k resolution gaming. Though most of the hardware involved were provided by partnering sponsors, the total tally came to sixteen top-of-the-line 4k monitors, a custom made desk and monitor mounting rack with an included computer case, which itself was loaded down with four Nvidia Quadro P5000 graphics cards, 128 gigs of ram, and a professional sync card used to keep all the monitors aligned with the proper image without tearing the image. | |

Screens Are Cameras | |
| Linus Tech Tips (Web Video) / int_53d0fa9c | comment |
Screens Are Cameras: "Is Samsung Trying To Impress Me?? -- Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 5G Early Look" talks about the titular phone having a camera hidden under the folding screen. Instead of using a "notch" or a "hole punch" to get the screen around the camera, it covers the camera with more screen. The catch is the circle (or rather the octagon) over the camera has a pixel density much lower than the rest of the screen, and the camera sees some grid-like light artifacts with lights in the frame. | |

Sitcom Arch-Nemesis | |
| Linus Tech Tips (Web Video) / int_5860c090 | comment |
Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Linus and Colton have this dynamic in "Caffeine-Fueled Midnight PC Building Stream", which preceded the aforementioned Madrinas Coffee-sponsored roast (and in which Linus announced it would be happening). Right at the start of the stream, Linus threatens to shank Colton with a Threadripper torque screw, and soon after (facetiously) announces to the audience that Colton's fired. Then Colton makes a bet as to whether or not Linus and Alex can build three PCs in two hours, during which Colton and Linus trade jeers (and Linus accuses Colton of trying to sabotage, calling off the bet). During the stream, Linus explains the reason for the (playful) banter: Colton had a habit of repeatedly sabotaging personal plans Linus made in advance, setting up events with sponsors on short notice and forcing Linus to cancel his own plans. The icing on the cake involved the Backstreet Boys reunion tour, which Linus was really excited to see and was willing to bail on any short-notice plans Colton made ... except that after he and Yvonne bought tickets Colton then notified Linus that LTX got pushed back onto the date of the concert—through no fault of Colton's own, Linus admitted. Linus wasn't willing to bail on his own fans, but made a compromise to leave early on the day of the concert. | |

Are We There Yet?: In the Techquickie episode "Is PS/2 or USB Better for Keyboards and Mice?", Linus says that USB keyboards and mice work with the computer "polling" the peripheral. In Layman's Terms, that means the computer is asking the keyboard what it's doing numerous times per second, which Linus compares to a kid asking "Are we there yet?" on a road trip. Parodied in "This was all a waste of money.", which is about YouTube's support of HDR leaving much to be desired. The Couch Gag says "HDR we there yet?" | |

Once Done, Never Forgotten: The LTT crew will take any opportunity to reference the time when their Ryzen test bench fell over on camera. Ever since Linus accidentally broke his cameraman Andy's bed by jumping on it, the Intel Extreme (and later, AMD Ultimate) Tech Upgrade videos will never let him forget about the bed. Linus' screwups attempting to install Steam on Pop!_OS became this for the Linux distro. Many act as if every single attempt to install Steam on it resulted in the desktop getting deleted. | |

| Linus Tech Tips (Web Video) / int_a484ef6c | comment |
Sensory Abuse: In "This was all a waste of money. (about YouTube's shoddy HDR support), an in-universe example is a cutaway of a hypothetical scene of an LTT employee looking at an HDR TV when it's tuned to "an even worse version of the Vivid mode in the Best Buy showroom" (meaning way too bright). | |

Ascended Extra: Both Riley (of NCIX Netliked fame) and Emily (one of Linus Media Groups' employees) appear more in front of the camera in 2019 than they did previously. For the former, it was due to being brought onto LMG to host a semi-daily news show TechLinked, while the latter gained popularity after appearing in the background of the more technically complex projects Linus does, normally server, Mac Pro, or Linux related. | |

Droste Image: The short "I do not recommend this!!" shows Linus with two computers remoting into each other, causing recursion with the same window inside itself, like a video camera pointed its own viewfinder. This video on the worst PC's Linus has ever built throughout history, he briefly shows a young Yvonne wearing a white hoodie with stripes on the arms as his old wallpaper in a photo. Linus then zooms out to show a slightly older Yvonne wearing the same hoodie sat right next to the computer, giving off this effect. | |

Canada, Eh? | |
| Linus Tech Tips (Web Video) / int_d429d0f6 | comment |
Canada Eh: Linus Media Group is based out of Surrey, British Columbia, a suburb of Vancouver. While it's downplayed for the most part, since Linus' audience is predominately American, some Canadianisms do slip out, such as Linus pronouncing the letter "Z" as "Zed" when referring to Intel motherboards with a "Zxxx" chipset, or component manufacturer NZXT. Sometimes, presenters have to explicitly differentiate between US dollars and Canadian monetary unitsnote variously also referred to as 'Canadian rupees', 'Canadian rubles,' and 'Canadian pesos' in certain videos, such as Scrapyard Wars challenges, when addressing GPU and RAM price increases since 2017, and whenever Linus and company buy products to test from a particular brand or store (e.g., Walmart, Amazon, Monoprice, AliExpress, Wish, etc). Also, any mentions of "lttstore.com" always shows the price of the product in US dollars. The TechLinked episode "Sony Stole My Movies" (July 8, 2022) talks about Rogers (an ISP and cell phone carrier that serves Canada) experiencing a nationwide outage, and Riley jokingly suggests Rogers employees giving the network Timbits and Tim Hortons coffee until it starts working again. | |

Some of their stunts include offering "SHORTLINUS" as a discount code, registering "notlttstore.com" as a link to their website, advertising a Linus face phone sticker as the "shit tier" sticker, and paying the channel to specifically advertise that a limited-time collab product is no longer available. | |

| Linus Tech Tips (Web Video) / int_e4d079c1 | comment |
Greek Chorus: Most TechLinked videos will have one member of LTT as the host, while a second member off-camera interjects with snark, puns, and commentary. (Riley often plays this role if he's not the host.) | |

Insistent Terminology: The LTT crew prefers to refer to hoverboards as "swegways". From Channel Super Fun: they're not 'gumballs', they're 'motivation spheres'. | |

Last-Second Word Swap: Happens early in "They Discontinued This Before I Could Buy One!". When Linus is handed a sheet of paper indicating the Hisense U9DG was discontinued shortly after launch, he says "THAT'S TERRI-, rrr, -riffic". | |

The Alleged Car | |
| Linus Tech Tips (Web Video) / int_f237981e | comment |
The Alleged Car: "The Lambo", Linus' Honda Civic, which was painted pink on Channel Super Fun in 2015. It became a staple of the channel, often found parked outside the LMG office, and Linus continued driving it until he allowed fans to vandalize it at LTX 2018 and the seats were covered with glitter glue. | |

| Linus Tech Tips (Web Video) / int_f46fb603 | comment |
Pungeon Master: Linus and Luke sometimes take their time with them. The whole company gets involved in firing off puns, as evidenced on Channel Super Fun and in behind-the-scenes vlogs, occasionally devolving into a Hurricane of Puns. | |

Running Gag | |
| Linus Tech Tips (Web Video) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: In The Roast episode, pretty much every person who stands up to rant at Linus also says; "Oh, and f*ck Colton", much to his very visible confusion. Someone saying "lttstore.com" on camera while using said product found on the store, normally a water bottle or shirt. Exaggerated in "How bad is this $20 SSD??" where Emily codes in an easter egg that shows the URL when the test is done in a Linux executable file script meant specifically to test read/write speeds of a cheap SSD. This episode on a project of getting hotswapping PCIe cards to work (plugging in a graphics card, for example, then taking it out again without the OS crashing). Throughout the episode, Linus say "Go ahead and cut" 22 times!, with the subtitle for the episode lampshading the entire ordeal as; "3 Hours of Raw footage later...". Anytime AI or robots are mentioned in a good light (such as them delivering pizza via robots, or drones delivering packages), the host tends to make a joke about the bots and AI preparing for a robot uprising. Linus being short is joked about enough that a sponsor once got in on it. | |

Buffy Speak: Linus refers to the Nvidia RTX 3090's cooling system as a "through-card blowy thing" in "RTX 3090 SLI - We Tried so Hard to Love It". It refers to how the cooling system is larger than the graphics card's PCB (circuit board), allowing air to go straight through it rather than make a 90 degree inside the card. | |
