Sunday Entertainment Edition (Nov 15, 2026): 8 Must-Watch Tech Videos, Jensen's NVIDIA Goodbye & Your December Esports Calendar
TL;DR:
- The week's biggest story: Jensen Huang resigned as NVIDIA CEO on Nov 12, 2026, after 33 years — JayzTwoCents, Hardware Unboxed, and the LTT WAN Show all broke it down in must-watch form.
- Wildcard drama: Gamers Nexus got a Bloomberg copyright strike on its 3.5-hour NVIDIA AI GPU smuggling documentary — and is fighting it publicly.
- Fun pick of the week: JayzTwoCents forced air into an ASUS GPU with a custom mod — and the llano V12 laptop cooler he recommends is $95.99 USD / $132.99 CAD on Amazon right now.
- Your calendar: PGL CS2 Major Singapore (Dec 2–13), PUBG Mobile Global Championship (Nov 26–Dec 13), RLCS World Championship ($1.2M prize pool), and Steam Winter Sale (Dec 17–Jan 4).
- Skip the doom-scrolling this Sunday and watch these eight videos instead.
Picture this: it's Sunday morning, your coffee is still hot, and instead of doom-scrolling GPU prices you've got a curated couch playlist. That's what the Sunday Entertainment Edition is for. And this week, the tech YouTube gods delivered a feast — because in the span of five days, the most powerful man in consumer silicon walked away from his own $4 trillion company, a 209-minute documentary got copyright-struck, and Linus got evicted by his own datacenter. Grab the popcorn.
The Big One: Jensen Huang Steps Down From NVIDIA
Let's address the GPU-shaped elephant in the room. On Thursday, Nov 12, 2026, NVIDIA's board confirmed that Jensen Huang stepped down as president, CEO, and board member — ending a 33-year run that turned a gaming graphics company into a $4 trillion giant (CNBC live updates, Reuters, Quartz). Reuters reports the resignation followed revelations of extramarital affairs, including one involving a woman U.S. officials suspect of spying for China. The stock cratered; the succession question is wide open (Business Insider).
JayzTwoCents has the clearest "what happens to gamers?" breakdown of the week:
His earlier deep-dive on the lawsuits reads like a Tom Clancy pitch — tech CEO, espionage, adultery, potential securities fraud — and it's genuinely the best 20 minutes you'll spend understanding this mess:
Over in Australia, the Hardware Unboxed Podcast crew zoomed out on what a Jensen-less NVIDIA means for GPU buyers:
And if you need a palate cleanser, Jayz's meme compilation from "the Jensen saga" is exactly as unhinged as you'd hope:
The Wildcard: Gamers Nexus vs. Bloomberg
Just days after Gamers Nexus released its 209-minute NVIDIA AI GPU illegal black market documentary, Bloomberg hit the channel with a copyright strike over roughly 75 seconds of White House presser footage of the President that appears in the film. GN is calling the strike what it is — fair-use commentary — and the creator community is watching this one closely (TweakTown, dlcompare).
While that fight brews, GN's actual upload of the week is a banger in its own right — Steve going full forensic mode on Epic Games:
LTT Corner: Evictions, Garage Sales, and a Linux Exit Ramp
Linus had a week. First, the channel's own datacenter kicked them out — which is exactly as chaotic as it sounds:

Then came the companion piece, "I'm Selling My Stuff," which is basically a hardware hoarder's intervention:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6MENpOuRC0
And with all the Windows grief floating around, the team quietly dropped a genuinely useful "How to Switch to Linux" guide — the first entry in what looks like a full series (part two, on installing apps, is already up):

Laptops, OLED, and the Dave2D-shaped Hole
MKBHD's review of the new OLED MacBook Pro is the laptop video of the week — gorgeous hardware, predictable-price-for-the-hardware pain:

Dave2D took the week off (his last upload was the MacBook Pro first-impressions on Oct 29 —

if you missed it), so Marques owns the laptop lane solo this Sunday.
The Fun Stuff: Jayz Modding ASUS's Airflow
My personal favorite of the week. JayzTwoCents looked at an ASUS GPU's cooler design, said "I can do better," and built a custom shroud mod that forces air into the card instead of past it. It's peak garage-engineering content:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMAne5UVQ3k
And for the laptop gamers, his Llano V12 cooler video ("the best laptop cooler I've ever used") sent me price-checking. Here's the dual-market damage, as promised:
Amazon US/CA live prices checked Nov 15, 2026. Prices can change.
| Product | Amazon US (USD) | Amazon CA (CAD) | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| llano V12 RGB (5.5" turbofan, USB hub) | $95.99 (was $119.99) | $132.99 (was $139.99) | 4.4★ (2,344 ratings) |
| llano V12 Ultra (smart software control) | $119.99 | $169.99 | 4.5★ (767 ratings) |

| Razer Laptop Cooling Pad (the premium rival) | $129.99 (was $169.99) | $179.99 (was $199.99) | 4.3★ (708 ratings) |
Hardware Unboxed also deserves a shout for putting the build-video format to work for a cause — a Movember charity gaming PC:

Hardware-watch: TechPowerUp's launch radar (updated Nov 4, 2026) says one major GPU launch has been moved up to December 2026 or January 2027, with a 512-bit GDDR7 memory interface listed, alongside AMD's Radeon RX 9040 and Intel's D-Series "Crescent" GPU (TechPowerUp future hardware). Translation: CES 2027 is going to be loud.
The Verdict
This was the most eventful week tech YouTube has had in months: a CEO resignation with espionage subplots, a David-vs-Goliath copyright fight, a datacenter eviction, and a guy rebuilding an ASUS cooler out of spite. My one-line takeaway: when silicon gets boring, the drama always compensates — and this week it over-delivered.
Watch order for tonight: Jayz's resignation breakdown → the HUB podcast → GN's Epic takedown → LTT's eviction saga → Jayz's airflow mod as dessert.
