TL:DR
No the Icron is really the best option if you need USB 3.0 or higher along with USB 2.0 and lower going long distances or where there is lots of interfeerence.
If you dont need anything higher than USB 2.0 for say a keyboard and mouse, then you can get by with $10 CATx Extenders.
Its an ok video, but as someone who has tried nearly every USB extender I can confirm Icron is the only reliable solution for USB 3.0 or greater over a distance.
I’ve been feeling like the videos lately have been boring. Ever since the qc change. Maybe too safe?
He seems to be more reserved and “safe” as you say in videos, to be honest I haven’t watched them since because of this.
While we know he puts on an alt personality for the camera it still feels off, where has all the energy gone. “Edgy” Linus IMO was the reason for watching the main LTT channel for me - the hot takes and brutish, stubborn personality et al. It made even the most mundane videos seem at least somewhat entertaining. That and the home server/office networking stuff. Nobody else makes content like that (that i’m aware of anyway).
When that bleeds off camera into company culture, then it’s a problem. I hope they find a solution, because things don’t feel the same.
IMO Short Circuit is the only other channel where things kinda feel the same, where hosts really let out their personality on camera, but the content there is less varied obviously, mainly ads/showcasing products.
Linus stated on the wan show that these were all recorded before the break.
It’s funny you say this, because Linus stated on the wan show that all of these were filmed before the break.
You’re looking for something that isn’t there.
Must be in the editing
