* CanadaEh:
** Linus Media Group is based out of Surrey, British Columbia, a suburb of UsefulNotes/{{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 units[[note]]variously also referred to as 'Canadian rupees', 'Canadian rubles,' and 'Canadian pesos'[[/note]] 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 "[[https://youtu.be/huj8ZeHccK4?t=131 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.

* WhatAPieceOfJunk: 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 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I37U52gMFGA "Hubert"]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_h63IsmvSQ "Dale"]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIRDr8qs_Fw "Margaret"]]; as well as a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fL3VbC2izo rig]] built inside an UsefulNotes/{{Xbox}}. Furthermore, Intel commissioned a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5bNkHCCIgk build]] for him that uses the case of an IBM 5150 and sports the [[https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/intel/core_i7/i7-8086k Core i7-8086K]], a CPU that [[MilestoneCelebration celebrates the 40th anniversary]] [[invoked]] of its direct ancestor, the 8086. And then, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGQA4gxjLr8 there's another sleeper PC]] that uses the case of a Micron Millennia and is packed with hardware such as the Crucial Ballistix RAM[[note]]Micron is the parent company of Crucial.[[/note]] and an RTX 2070 (which is later replaced with an RTX 3080). And then, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UKROsvkCGA 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.[[/note]]

* AscendedExtra: 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 [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute TechLinked]], while the latter gained popularity after appearing in the background of the more technically complex projects Linus does, normally server, Mac Pro, or [[{{UsefulNotes/UNIX}} Linux]] related.

** In "[[https://youtu.be/0506yDSgU7M?t=643 Linux HATES Me - Daily Driver Challenge Pt. 1]]", Linus was attempting to install UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} on Pop!_os, but ended up removing the GNOME desktop emvironment. Later on the ''[=ShortCircuit=]'' video "[[https://youtu.be/8HAq3bOmrvA I broke this in under an hour... - Eurorra Carbon Fibre Laptop]]", he got further and got ''VideoGame/CounterStrike Counter-Strike: Global Offensive'' grunning on Ubuntu (Pop!_os's parent distro) but bricked the OS anyway.

Linus then zooms out to show a slightly older Yvonne wearing the same hoodie sat right next to the computer, giving off this effect.

* LeftItIn: The Techlinked Episode "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaQNjAIX4yo&t=49s 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. However, he had clearly flubbed the line, so a second take was done...but the original take is still in the video, clearly forgotten about by the editor before exporting and uploading. On a related note, the opening CouchGag 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".
