3·7 days agoYeah. Although at the quantum level spin isn’t something physical like a ball spinning. It’s an intrinsic property. That is an electron changes its properties over time exactly as if it was spinning even though it’s not physically spinning as we understand it for large objects.
For people confused by the mathematics of imaginary numbers, the symbol i is just a shorthand rotational operator.
If something changes and comes back to it’s original state as if it rotated and you want to represent it in an equation, you use i.
Calling i imaginary makes it more mysterious than it actually is. The real world is filled with rotation.

That happened over 10 years ago with the release of Win 8.

The problem with Plex is it isn’t fully hosted. Plex controls user passwords. You can’t use it without logging into their servers.
"As of January 20, 2025, nearly 3 years later, there has been no public acknowledgement of the plagiarism, nor retraction of the content in the WAN Show upload with 2,000,000 views. The WAN Show upload and LMG Clips videos do not reference or cite GamersNexus either verbally or on screen at any point for the EVGA story. "

Yeah, it is proof that Linus acknowledged it
The receipts show LTT plagerized, Linus promised to fix it but didn’t. Steve thanked him expecting that Linus would do what he promised but then Linus did nothing.
3 years later after GN publicized the unethical behavior, Linus then, and only then fixed it.
the writers to not forget citations again and put up a pinned comment, which he did,
But he didn’t. He promised to but never did until 3 years later. That’s why Steve called him out.
So LTT apologized and gave GN credit only after GN made it public and that’s not proof?

Read the emails. Linus said he’d fix it. GN thanked him for quick action but 3 years later LTT still hadn’t done anything.
The quote was from the linked article.
The email says they could keep it for further testing, not sell it.
LTT claimed they offered to pay for it but the time stamps prove they didn’t get an offer to pay for it until after GN publicized the mistake.
“Plagiarism by Linus Tech Tips of GamersNexus content wherein we previously privately reached out without resolution”
They had privately contacted LTT in the past. LTT ignored it until GN made a public video years later.
They took quick action 3 years after GN publicized LTT’s past bad behavior.
"…
Regarding LTT, we are simply going to state the relevant facts:
On 10th August, we were told by LTT via email that the block had been sold at auction. There was no apology.
We replied on 10th August within 30 minutes, telling LTT that this wasn’t okay, and that this was a £XXXX prototype, and we asked if they planned to reimburse us at all.
We received no reply and no offer of payment until 2 hours after the Gamers Nexus video went live on 14th August, at which point Linus himself emailed us directly.
The exact monetary value of the prototype was offered as reimbursement. We have not received, nor have we asked for any other form of compensation."
Time-stamped emails were provided as proof.
“quick action”
3 years later and only after Linus made vague legal threats to GN about Honey requiring GN to publicize LTT’s past bad behavior.
The email chain was published by Billet Labs after LTT said there were no expectations of returning the prototype. It proved that Linus lied about it.
LTT has done bad things and never apologized. For example he copied a gamersnexus script and never acknowledged it.

The wiggle isn’t only on the surface. I’d bet it is everywhere except for the surface or users would complain about defects. So if you sand the surface, the forensics slices it in half and reads the wiggle that is embedded everywhere inside.
