Has over 500PB of raw 8K footage

>has over 500PB of raw 8K footage
Why does he think he needs this? It makes zero sense, he's just wasting money. Does he not want to save for the future?

500TB*

Autism makes it hard to understand other people.

>not having 500PB of raw tunnelbears
what a pleb

He doesn't seem to have autism though.

>write it off as a business expensive
>less taxable income

ROFL why doesn't he just throw away all the content he's filmed LOL

Chroma sub sampling, that "8K" footage is actually 4K chroma footage to which video editing can be applied to after it's transcoded to 4:4:4 4K video for the max archival quality.

What kind of a tech review company would he be running if he didnt waste money constantly buying the top tier best of the best stuff? Also half the stuff he gets for free.

He can just stop recording in 8k and downsample his old footage to a lower resolution.

So it's a lie?

A faster growing one. He already made the video on the RED camera, he can stop recording with it now and return it.

no, you just don't know how cameras or video encoding works

Bot really, it's the "8K" 99.9999% of use will ever get our hands on but he uses it for a different purpose other than a pissing contest.

shiiiieeet

How would he be growing his viewership by not spending more money on tech?

It's true, I don't!

>but he uses it for a different purpose other than a pissing contest.
Seriously, what happens when the channel hits tough times and needs that spent money to sustain or grow?

thats a lot of storage for shilling videos

Make videos on tech that isn't so costly

There's an opportunity cost. Money spent on using overpowered tech is money not spent on investing in the business competently.

The dumb videos about over 9000tb storage or 6 cucktitans get the most views tho?

Just cause you make some dumb video about it doesn't mean you have to keep the mistake up. If you make a mistake, you make a video about it and then stop making that costly mistake.

Not really. Linus is rolling in fat stacks. Its not like hes missing out on going to tech conventions or doing videos he would like to do. Hes 100% not held back by operational costs.

Its not really a mistake when it scores well with the viewership.

I don't care, those faggy ear rings make him a deal breaker for me

You don't understand, we need all our videos in uncompressed 8K @ 4000fps. Sure youtube compresses them to fuck and most people will watch it in 1080p@30fps, but what if we need to recover footage of us masturbating over Intel™ i7s? Coincidentally, the intel i7 is the best gaming chip out there, buy yours from the link in the description

kek

I would gladly pay that amount of money for storage if I would get to creampie his asian wife every night

Oh boy it’s this faggot again

's point exactly

this is exactly what I was thinking, it's what I'd be doing if I was a data hoarder who also owned a tech company

I was convinced he was gay until I found out he has a wife and kids.

500 TB aint that big for commercial use

stfu you braindead faggot. How the FUCK do you think anyone with more than 2 brain cells is going to use 4:2:0 diarrhea for video editing?

Fucker can afford it. It's hardly a need concern. He can chuck cash at whatever and solve a long list of problems.

because he's a nerd and does nerd shit for his nerd business

>not having 500PB of raw 8k footage of Linus getting fucked by bears down a tunnel

fuck off back to

Doesn’t this guy just do product reviews? Why record at such high quality if your content won’t be relevant after a year or two? 8K is years out from mainstream.

>Does he not want to save for the future?
That's what he's doing, saving his data for the future when we can all enjoy 8k
What is money when you have DATA

>raw
>chroma subsampling
it's not even debayered
how can it be subsampled
it's literally just raw greyscale values for each pixel

That's what everyone asks, just look at the comments of their latest video about using google cloud.

Who asks?

Ctrl-F "8k" in the comments.

He doesn't deserve that money, I deserve because I watch anime, and therefore in a better person. Also I'm not a cuck Canadian

All it's doing it taking me into fullscreen.

He gets all that income from being a Youtube partner?

no

Freddy Mercury had a girlfriend (wife?) for 8 years before coming out and dying of faidsg

500 TB isn't that much for a business of that size
i have like 6 TB of storage myself

>i have like 6 TB of storage myself
talking about my harddrive capacity, not how much my business-related stuff takes up

gotta save his mug for future generations to admire.

Bet you thought this was EPIC while you typed this

found the pajeet.

He never paid for it, he was given it

if he uses the tech to a higher extent than the tier below it can support, it's not overpowered. He's already up to using 2/3rds of his petabyte NAS, he could easily use the rest in a year or two.

Who is this faggot and why do I have to look at his ugly face?

>drones still mad about the great value of the 970 in 2018
Move the fuck on

>500TB of 8K BLACKED RAW footage
So that's how the niggers had such HD videos

It's Linux Tipsus, the inventor of RedditBook.

By making real tech reviews

from what, then?

what do you suggest he spend it on, he clearly has enough to spend on almost any video idea they can come up with

you're being penny wise, pound foolish. do you think media companies like CNN and fox news skimp on their hosts salaries etc

What if in the future he wasn't to release a re-mastered LTT 8K bluray?

Having that footage isn't what's dumb. It's how he stores it that's dumb.
Youtubers like AVGN have some insane stacks of footage but they keep it on external HDDS, tapes, DVDs, and other physical media.
They don't upload it all to the fucking cloud and brag about having 15 accounts on Google to do it and complain about it taking weeks/months to upload from their home connection.
He has the money to buy a proper storage method, too. That makes it even dumber.

And by nerd shit he means "lol i buy expensive stuff and big number are cool lmao :D" and then you see him using windows on his servers.

uploading to the cloud is cheap and is way safer than having physical shit in one or two places. the "bragging"/"complaining" is just for the video which they made a bunch of money on.

He says so his editors can go back and use clips (mostly for gags because why else would you need footage of products that were relevant years ago).
This is stupid simply because people use shitty 144p Vegas crops for gags and no one cares.
He's basically put all those resources into the assumption that people care if his stupid cut-away gag is technically from a cleaner source.
His editors could literally download their own videos off youtube at 4k and do the epic callback and no one would even notice, most people are watching at 720p/1080p anyway.

Oh and a reminder, Linus has already had his storage servers AND backups fail multiple times due to his incompetence.
There's a video of him contacting a recovery company just because he fucked up so bad.

Except that's wrong, the cloud backup is for redundancy and the footage is also stored locally on servers in the office.

Why won't he just stop? He's not making The Hobbit, he's making youtube review videos.

It's completely unneeded but he's a multimillionaire who lives by pedaling autistically high end equipment that use the most cutting technology simply because he can afford it and money comes back to him for making videos on it.

How mad do you have to be and how little life do you have to have to make something like this? Literally kill yourself.

He should be shooting on an intermediate codec for faster editing. Even movies don't shoot on RAW unless the shot is going to vfx.

He's literally burning money. He had an FS700 and upgraded to 100k RED and there has been barely any improvement in visual quality.

He doesnt have much room to grow as a gaymer tech channel, so its going to be downhill for him very soon. While mega cunts like Pewdiepie shoot on DSLRs and webcams and have 10x traffic and patreons.

Who said he thinks he needs it? Sometimes the best reason to do something is simply because one can.

>he has
his company has, you mean

Top kek the girl's right hand is white.

This isn't an economic decision I think, this is about branding and marketing their channel.
Using really hightech equipment, with completely overblown hardware, creates an image of their channel as being on the forefront of technology and thus being trustworthy when it comes to questions of technology.
They regularly make videos about these topics, not just it is used for entertainment for their viewers but also as marketing for themselves.

He's an unsalvagable goofy retard closet homo. let him have this

>has a gigantic archive server but is to greedy to back it up properly
>stores all of their sensitive data on the fucking google cloud, spread over multiple accounts so they don't have to pay for it

You fucking can't make this up
No one can actually be this stupid

>makes something up
>"You fucking can't make this up"

He needs to store in high quality so rotational velocidensity doesn't degrade his files too quickly

>watch his old videos, and by old I mean filmed 6 years ago
>literally buys stuff and films it from his room
>new videos are filmed on his own skyscraper and warehouse by his hundreds of employees, he doesn't even needs to buy stuff since the manufacturers send him literally hundreds of expensive components for free

HOW??? IT'S NOT FAIR

Why does these fuckers all go out of their way to defend the fact they they are not shills, when they shill everything under the damn sun? Him Jayztwocents, gamers nexus. They say they are all "with it" and "on the level" but they just shill nivida new RTshit.

It's his life's work you fucking moron. It doesn't matter how "low" you think his job is.

He didn't buy those things, he was working at NCIX back then.

gotta pretend to be relevant somehow

>He's literally burning money
tax

And it all looks like it was shot on an iPhone 6s because YouTube compression LOL

Why not? He's got loads of money. Don't tell me you wouldn't build some crazy shit like that if you had the money, please. Because I sure as hell would.

>500PB
thats a lot of porn bytes

Yeah, 500TB for a youtube content creator that shoots in 8k isn't exactly a lot.

I don't create any content, I just consume media, and I have around 35TB of content on my various computers.

its prob compressed. he releases like 10mins of 8k video a day.

actually more including techlinked and tech quicky.

30mins of 8k video a day is massive it would be more than 500TB but some of that data is from when he had 1080p and 4k setup. so idknow.


he is retarded for keeping it thou and even if he kept it he should compress it literally down to 720p or even less. no one is going to watch thous old videos he just living in parnaoia that youtube shuts down and he has to move site but that will never happen and if it did no one would want to look at old tech videos from 3 years ago.

Actual question, isn't it possible to use some type of lossless compression to reduce the size of these video some? Is downsampled 4k not high enough resolution for a youtube tech review channel? I don't understand why he would seemingly prefer to risk losing already shot video footage rather than size them down.

No, Youtube encoding makes 1080 content look like 720p garbage.

Not how it works in the US, since it's an asset and asset acquisitions are taxed whether they are business related or not.

That's Linus influence as a father

you stupid or just stupid
