Oh this drama is getting spicy. Someone made a Linus jet tracker website.
They seem to be banning people who are sharing the public flight data from the LTT subreddit.
Lmao
Can’t wait for the next WAN Show where they are going to try and justify this stupid decision. Pure comedy gold.
@phnt @SuperDicq @mischievoustomato @Wiz in the realm of tech you either buy a private jet and get an Asian wife or you make videos saying "breakfast is ruined" and stop making hardware videos
@phnt @SuperDicq @mischievoustomato @Wiz What is the point of making car review videos? You're never going to be able to afford anything more than an Altima, and you'll look like vid related driving it instead of like a rapper.
@phnt @feld @SuperDicq @Wiz Did some digging, it's C-FXOO, and it was not cheap.

What's worth noting with every single private aircraft is if you think the costs to buy it are cheap or expensive, the real cost is when it needs repairs, ADs, and upgrades either for safety or compliance like hush kits.
@feld @phnt @SuperDicq @Wiz unless you're john travolta and you have aircraft autism and you just have to have a 707 or some weird shit
@feld @phnt @SuperDicq @Wiz jay leno too, his car collection is legendary. When his Turbine car broke or some shit they actually got engineers at the descendant of the company that made the engine for it to work on rebuilding it.

@Ree @phnt @feld @SuperDicq @Wiz the meme with people leasing cars that are fancy is because after a few years many were not made to last under use.
Case in point: the BMW M3 V8 and M5 V10, both are literally timebombs due to rod bearings and tend to bait stupid car youtubers who think it won't happen to them.
@Ree @phnt @feld @SuperDicq @Wiz It's not even about modern or vintage or electronic bullshit, this is all mechanical failure.
Once you get into cars that cost a certain amount, the repair costs never got lower because you have to deal with lower production and bespoke parts used specifically on a specific car. Unless it's something like a Ford GT or Corvette that reuses parts from cheaper cars.
@Ree @phnt @feld @SuperDicq @Wiz Trucks are easy actually; there's tons of places to get specific parts for them, many in junkyards, generic engines and shit like the GM bellhousing patterns, etc.

@phnt @feld @SuperDicq @Ree @Wiz bmws lower end cars aren't so bad. It's their V8 engines always leave a cloud or smoke because the head gasket blew.
Their new ones are crazy reliable or so I've heard.
@feld @phnt @SuperDicq @Ree @Wiz I want an older one because the steering on those is literally top notch.
@phnt @feld @SuperDicq @Ree @Wiz I'm sure it's because the current B engines aren't blowing up like the N20 engines were, and the ZF 8HP transmissions are solid.
