1990: Don't sit too close to the TV kiddo!
2017: hey kids check out the new VR headset!
i wish it was like this
MrFreakYT 😄🤣🤣🤣 yeah I was thinking that too lol.
hey Flame beats
Nice back to the future reference there. shame if I spelt it our for everyone else.
In other words:
1990: Sit as far away from the screen as possible.
2017: Strap the screen directly to your face.
SO TRUE
3:38 That's a quick haircut.
Bubble Double hahahh i didnt notice it
Woah
Bubble Double The legend27 says that if you set the video speed to 0.000003%, you could see when Linus is getting that haircut okno.
His haircut is so bad I makes me believe that he either cuts himself or Yvonne does it for him..
Saw that
Linus talking about eye strain and reducing the brightness, while he puts a bright white color as a background. 😞
hmmm
@Illumina Duke no just add dark mode
Underrated comment
Thinking about eyes hurting makes my eyes hurt

That was such an informative video, I learned so much about bears
Yeah it was hilarious.. Btw he talks about being humane to bears and then shows mosquitoes being burnt alive. Just sayin...
Haha! damn
xcitive We only care about animals that we can relate to(similar). humane. haha
Best. Tunnelbear. Ad. Ever.
It was beary good. Sorry I'll leave

2000s. Don’t sit too close to the tv.
2017. VR
Problem with "too close" is not only radiation from CRT (and in first adaptation of LCD), but one more thing, and is not physical. Is about image moving too fast, it may cause problems with perception, but is not problem with VR because they have larger refresh rate, and for your brain image (as element brain observe) not move to fast in angular velocity.

Sędziwój sorry but you don't make sense

VR makes PORN better. :-D
I absolutely loved the information about bears. I love the extra footage at the end giving us a slight insight into the fun had while filming. I respect and appreciate the straightforward honesty within the content of the videos. And for some reason this is the very first time I would like to see Linus give a techquickie in a three piece suit and tie. Keep up the great work.
I purchased tunnelbear hoping I would learn about bears
MΞARE I got tunnel bear on my phone to use VPN on school internet. It never connected:(

One word, VR

VR isn't a word, it's an acronym for two words...
But how do I get 120hz
It's two words lol
Imagine 4K VR
So according to this, my 4k tv should be 144". I am now accepting donations to help save my eyesight, I need a 12 foot 4k tv to save my eyesight.
Either start a Kickstarter or go to India and pretend you are a 'Swamy' you get millions of tax free money
You sit almost 6 meters away from your tv? I can't even see that far away. Like how high did you set the render distance in your brain wtf.
@Vishnu K lmfao. Swamy get more than thousands. All tax free

Jack Isn't Daniel's Look at his shirt. It's pixelated.
I have to say, I have been a web-developer for 12 years now, and my eyes are fried from positioning everything within in 1 pixel accuracy, the future is not bright for this industry!
the artist yellow glasses?
Or is it too bright?
Soul Demon Both are accurate
Just stop being so accurate, or make software that allows you to position things using typed in ratios and measurements.
I don't mean you personally, but the industry as a whole.
I know your pain. Being a programmer that does write pixel/fragment shaders. Have to be able to spot very minor differences in color to a high degree of accuracy and possibly in singular pixels scattered through a frame. Even with an otherwise nice smooth frame, your eyes eventually bug the hell out.
*laughs in VR*
Are are you watching this video with VR guugels? :o
Ares hehe u do realize technology is been abused too much
you sould make the intro the outro, you can thank me after I watched tech quickie and not before I am watching it.
As an ergonomics consultant, I appreciate this kind of info getting out there!
As a blind man, I don't have these issues.
Jay Milligan hah
k
what
Jay Milligan I don't mean to be rude or anything, but how do you type? Or do you have some voice - to - text thingy?
Attacker 127 it's a joke?
I sit extra close to my screen when watching Techquickie.
No matter what this thing says... "Stay away from that TV" -MOM-
this is one of the BEST tunnelbear recommendation ever linus.. loved it..
Help, I have a 5.5 inch 4K screen on my XZ Premium, what do I do? :( (a website recommends a distance of 0.5 inches...)
Slap that phone to your face with tape
Yay Just Do It
+Gonzola cativa gotta remove my nose before I can do that (hello voldemort)
Well if you watch the video, Linus says for 4k your viewing distance should be about the same as the size of your screen. So, 5.5" for your phone.
In my experience, that's actually pretty accurate.
Vee Arr
I sit 5" from the screen. I edit videos on a 13" MacBook.
Awesome. You must be blind by now.

5 inches!?!
So you rest your head over the keyboard?

okay the bear facts before the advertisement really hit the spot, this might has been the most pleasant outro to a commercial, I dont know who thought of this strategy, but it works, honestly keep it up this way, its rewarding and interesting

Linus Bear Tips.
BEAR FACTS!
Quick advice on reducing eyestrain, use flux to reduce blue light emited by your screen, ccfl monitors are easier on the eyes then leds, if you use a led backlit device make sure that it has blue light filters and that it does not use pwm for reducing brightness by flickering as that in combination with leds can make you motion sick.
hey, I'm new to the channel. been pigging out on these quickies and the main LTT channel. it's super informative and all that. thanks for passion, thoughtfulness, and so on so forth. I especially liked this version of the tunnel plug. fresh copy is nice for a newcomer like me who has probably heard a tunnel bear spot 50 times in the last 3 days without batting an eye.
Continuing upward trend in quality content Linus, enjoying it! I know I'm late to this video though! Also, what about sitting too far in terms of image quality? Diminishing returns and all that.
Longest and bestest tunnelbear commercial !

Just sit as far as possible
So people should buy the biggest tv possible for thousands of dollars and then sit so far away that it looks tiny?
Just sit as far away as you are comfortable, dont have you eyes so close that you can touch the screen
When I use my mac I sit around 2 feet away, when I play on a 75 inch tv I sit like 12 feet away
Because you are a normie. Try playing counter strike on your 75 inch tv from 12 feet away.
fuck that
That was likely your best segue yet, Linus. Well done.
Now Linus tech is turning into a science program. love it
Nice to have those facts
Hey, do a Hard Drive disk color (Western Digital Blue, Green, Purple, Black) As fast as possible!
Facundo Bueno what do you mean by this?
DonutEater when you go to WD web page or online stores you can see there are different "colors" of hard drives. I suggested then to explain those.
Thanks
they mean different thing like i think the red one is for network storage and like a black one is for gaming pc and you know ill try to link a video ive watched before i think by unboxtherapy
heres the link th-cam.com/video/tg4wr_M64Go/w-d-xo.html i would explain it but you might not understand it and its fatser to put a link in
i loved the ending! btw great video. really informative.
Thanks linus I will follow all youre tips to heart and follow them for the rest of this video.
I don't get it... Lets say I sit 0.5 meters from my monitor =19.7 inches. 19.7/1.6=12.3.
Am I supposed to have a freaking tablet as my monitor?
Did you get an answer to this? We're looking for a new monitor with all the features to protect eyesight. I'm sure about all the features I want except for screen size. Some sites say that a bigger screen is better for protecting eyes?
It also mean that you could be siting at 80cm from your 19.7" 1080p to be at the optimal distance. If you realy want to stick that close at 0.5m(50cm) yes then you should but all that ratio is valid only for the 1080p resolution. Usualy a 12.3 ich monitor will more likely be 720p or lower res and you can sit at a longer distance from 720p than 1080p. in fact siting at a 0.5meters from a 19.7 inches monitor your resolution shoul be 4k and you'd be about at a right distance. in other word i think you sit to close for a 19.7 inches monitor.

That was a great ad
Anymore of them and I might have to watch the whole video now!
Now I know a lot about bears. I've been thinking about these things so thanks for making the video, Linus! :)
Gotta give credit where it's due, the tunnel bear integration was pretty great and I'd welcome more of the same, feels much less like an ad, keeps me interested in the company itself and is still transparent, +1 from me.
Loved the tunnelbear ad xD
Hahahahahahaahhaha. I do love the jokes, humour and your team . You are nuts! Greetings from England
Linus & LMG, u guys are so creative and i enjoy the way u have been spontaneously changing the way u present your topics and advertising ur sponsors, Kudos to u from TZ, Africa.
"Ma, you know I dont have any friends" saaaaaame!
POV: you’re scrolling through comments without socks on
How’d you know
I'm wearing one sock... But not on any of my feet....
How did this get 12 likes
I work with AutoCAD for 8 hours per day, I can say from experience that staring at a fixed distance close to you without blinking enough or taking breaks does cause PERMANENT eye-sight damage. Over the past 5 years I have slowly become more near-sighted.
Also, in contrast to this video (based on other info/personal exp), I have found that having a light source behind your monitor that's brighter than your monitor is worse than having the lights off while staring at a monitor...I tend to feel relief when the lights are off while i'm using a computer.
Also, for those with windows 10 creator's build--use the Night Light App! It gives you a red tint and dims your screen to help with eye strain and sleeping.
the smartest transition to the sponsorship ever viewed. good job on that
oh, and nice video btw
What about E.M. (electromagnetic) waves?
1:11 Wait, you just had one of those lying around?
hell yah he did
The ad at the end was great. I like it that you are mixing things up.
This was very helpful as I am looking at a new monitor but I could not get a clear answer keep up the excellent tech videos
If you scroll while looking at the thumbnail it looks like its moving or flickering
1980s sitting two metres away from the TV : Son, you're going to damage your eyes sitting that close to the TV
2017: VR
I loved the bear facts Linus! Keep it up haha!
The ad spot was done awesomely, this time you guys surpassed the quality of the ads featured at Hardware Canucks. Great job, and keep these awesome ads coming!
I spend a tone of my time on my pc and I can guarantee you that it will eventually damage your eyes. My vision is perfect up to the distance of my monitor, anything further away from that point gets blurrier and blurrier.
That's why you have a window near by to rest your eyes by looking at distant landscape. Eyes adjusting to interior view distances and lighting is actually a real thing, and doesn't apply solely to monitors.
Zuver i have the same issue. While i was working in 24/48 shifts everytying was ok, after i quit my job it took like 1year and a half of warcraft playing to need glasses. And now i even need to get another pair cause its further affecting my eyes.
Waaaat?? I don't stay in front of the TV! I lay in bed on my back, and put the TV on my face...
Are you hunting ''honey bees''? What's up with the ending?
I'm so afraid of radiation, that I did not buy a TV! I bought binoculars in stead...
I use them to watch on my neighbor's TV.
''How Far Should You Sit From Your Screen''? The recommended distance is 50-100m. That's why I watch on my new 100'' TV, from my neighbor's house, with his wife, when he's not home...
this is the first time i haven't ended a techquickie video once the ad hits
If you focus at the same distance for too long all the time your eyes will eventually get used to that distance and have trouble focusing further. This is exactly why I wear glasses now even though nobody else does in my family. Close or extended. I can see clearly up till the distance of my arms length (the distance I sit from the monitor). After that it starts going slighly blurry
Only 58% of the length of this video is the actual content.
Only 58% of the length of this comment is useful.
Yes, but about 25% of the video was entertaining content even if it wasn't related to the video's title.
hk0O7 At least its not 10:04
I didn't even read the title I just clicked. Just thought the thumbnail looked interesting.
Lmao its just him standing infront of a screen while doing some stupid pose.
jamilskannal And you're telling me that didn't make you click? 😏
-Kush Shah- Was about to say: *"You are the fucking reason Linus feels the need to make all of these cancerous thumbnails."*
It had an interesting effect when you scrolled past it, I don't know how to describe it.
100% the best sponsor promo I’ve ever seen. I didn’t even skip it
OMG Linus. For the first time, I actually liked the way you brought up your sponsors. Good job writers at LMG :)
Why doesn't Linus link up with GAME promoters .. because people love games so yhhh...hmmm... plus it is a tech channel so you know, maybe some Linus special discounts etc.. good for Linus and Game companies .. bigger promotion for both.
Not first but early here's a joke:
Amd apu in intel cpu #TeamPurpleConfirmed!!
thats not a joke that is probably the best apu the world has ever seen
Why would you want 2 processing units and 2 graphic processors on one die? xD
icndjfk nsbdbd #yolo
Actually, it should be 4 Intel Coffeelake cores and 4 Ryzen cores on an AMD APU Die, connected with Infinity fabric, alongside NVidia GPU/CUDA cores. And on-board HBM memory. With L1, L2, and L3 Cache on-die as well. At a 16-Watt TDP, and clocked at 4.7GHz. Compatible with DDR3 and DDR4, with on-die RAID controller and video encoding hardware (acceleration). The truest of RGB wet dreams...
Guys I don't know if you have been informed but this is a joke and isn't, unfortunately or better said fortunately intel has announced its collaboration with amd to put Radeon graphics in their processors, a source to confirm this is hardware unboxed and probs wan show will be also covering this upcoming Friday, ps thx for the likes
( ◠‿◠ )
Okay that has probably been the best plug for a advertisement by anyone let alone Linus. Bravo good sir.
lol, paused it right at 3:42, it took me a minute to stop laughing. "Random facts about bears!" :)
Download flux and u should be fine :)
Or update to latest version windows. It has built in night light
Lokman02Naza F.lux has more options.
Jack_Cydia Doesn't matter; Windows 10's Night Light is good enough.

4:50 Loved the end-credits scene! *Lmfaoits!*
I'm happy Linus started a company and was able to buy some friends (employees).
Now it's LED screen era and LED emits Blue radiation which kills vision
Blue light doesn't kill vision, that's bullshit. It might keep you up at night, that's all.
This has nothing to do with the viewing for your screen.... This is all nonsense🤦♂️ I wasted my time on waiting for the answer. Skip video find another one trust me
I learned the origin of Teddy Bears today. Thank you, Linus.
Got the teddy bear story ALMOST right, not bad. Am sitting thru it waiting for you to segue it into a tunnelbear ad, lol.

Linus releases one video about having your eyeballs being too close to a screen.
Then releases a second video on his eyeballs being literally 2 inches from a screen.
2:57 lol love the pop up on the stock photo 😂
I actually listened to all the bear facts waiting until and expecting for Tunnel Bear to come on, lol.
Much better tunnelbear integration. I actually love this
I heard about a research paper that says nearsightedness is not caused by sitting too close to the tv, but it's caused by not getting enough outdoor INTENSE sunlight.
Screen shimmering when I scrolling down, your background is like a fair ground attraction !
Thanks Linus, the tunnelbear spinoff is great
4:37 smooth Linus, you are smooth!
A TV where I experienced eye strain a lot was an lg TV where the display kept changing, particularly during videogames. I don't just mean that it got brighter, it or brother and darker and put on and switched between colour filters very often.
You are awesome man.....I love your channel so much
