Linus is actually a really excellent boss. He puts himself on his employee's levels, doesn't micromanage them, and isn't a power trip. The bosses I have now are like him and makes it so much easier to work for them. They are actually motivating to do the work I do well and not slack off. Good job Linus. My hats off to you.

Agreed! Been a long time follower that came in and out of the community and never actually knew the what and why Linus was longer with NCIX. It was very interesting to say the least! I personally always hated the NCIX website/shop lol Felt messy af. Unlike Newegg's. But nevertheless, did a lot of business with them. Anyway, that was very interesting Linus/Luke!
My friend bought a PC from them like 3 weeks ago, but after being told that major delays in shipment in ALL of his parts, he had it refunded. Good thing he did. Ended up helping him build a custom one with Black Friday deals, saved like 300$, so turned out better in the end.
Hey Linus & Luke, you should do a yearly review of what happened / who came and go throughout the year, what you plans (roughly) are. It will be an extremely interesting video to watch, this holiday season. I know it's late and so but the story you just did was a very nice and helpful content !
Yeah, honestly I really liked hearing the story of how they started. I guess some of the hardcore techies only want cold dry tech videos, but I don't know, their faces are part of their brand, and getting to know the human aspect of Linus, Luke, and the rest of the team is really nice imo.
Not sure if it was answered but the Supreme or Provincial refer to which level of court it was. Provincial courts handle disputes and litigation in minor offenses, the court of queens bench handles criminal offenses and the Supreme court handles larger cases including bankruptcy. This applies to Canada.
Not quite accurate. Every province has a Provincial court system and a Superior court, the specific name for each varying by province. While the Superior court in a number of provinces is called the Court of Queen's Bench, in BC it's called the Supreme Court of BC; there is no "Court of Queen's Bench" in BC.
Thumbs up for this! I skipped to the NCIX topic and was surprised by the amount of information and story i learned. Now i have even more respect for Linus and the channel itself for the respect and dignity he treated this delicate subject, talking openly about former employs, old friends and people who taught him through the years he spent there. He even spoke about ideology diferences and people he dislike with utmost respect. learned about business, professional relationships, saw a nice touchy bro fist moment and a peek into LMG story. This was awesome, Linus! you dare to question why or if we were still watching xD!
Cam F Odd you say that. At the investor meeting when showing possible approaches to games as a service was selling Madden and FIFA once every 2 too 3 years but to play you need to pay a $20 monthly fee.
super interesting stuff at the end of the show about NCIX and Linus' involvement. I'd be curious to learn more about what Linus was like in high school and his early twenties. You know before he became the boss and a dad and all that. His story gave me hope that success is nowhere near necessitated by your degree or connections and that hard work and bringing an idea to fruition can really pay off. Like the comment to let Linus know that we want a video about his formative years.
he is extraordinarily talented and intelligent. Intelligence is rare but not that rare.. a tenth of a percent of people have genius intellects (though imho maybe 10% of that use it). But he understands and connects to people and isnt self involved so he knows what people want to see , hear, know about. That second part is stunningly rare. He's a brilliant communicator.. that part is rarer. And he had quite a bit of luck.
Linus, that is the most incredibly sincere and sympathetic way I have ever heard of anybody leaving a company. The way you negotiated your departure with NCIX sounds extremely mature and generous. It means a lot to me to hear of your compassion and good will for potential competitors and ex employers.
Linus, I really liked the part about your thoughts on why and how you moved from NCIX to being on your own. A lot people experience severe stupidity in management but I think are too afraid to jump into their own plans. You had an awesome idea, and when they didn't take it you followed a different path of your own. Taking into account how you affect those you work with is, I think, why you have a good team now.
Its been pretty obvious over the last few months every time it gets mentioned on the WAN show that NCIX people had gone AWOL and strange things going off which give huge clues.
I worked for them from 2011 to 2014, everything seemed well, but their are always mumblings of the company not doing well, but they keep expanding product line like nothing is wrong.
Just get a top end LG LED LCD IPS tv and turn off all image processing and put it in game mode, total latency is less than 20ms according to google searches of people that tested them. DO NOT GET OLED complete shit for PC, I made that mistake with my last TV purchase. They are 8ms panels which is about the same as any 4k 28 inch monitor, some shit TN panel might be a bit faster but looks like garbage.
Hi Linus. Former employee at Ncix. Eye opening comments, I tell you ,a lot of us had absolutely no clue you did this much with Ncix, and had so much great idea. Glad you,re doing well.
Thinking back to the old days... you guys on NCIX helped me with my first build back in highschool 9 years ago. It is really interesting to see how far LTT has come. Proud of you all and wish you the best.
Mormodes-- yealp. Did you know when LTT first started he was still working at NCIX? It started as a tip channel run by Linus, but officially owned by NCIX. Just a cool lil tidbit
Hey Linus! When I worked at london drugs warehouse, I was suggesting since our distribution was located in Richmond, I suggested doing same day shipping by hiring a little van, and do same day deliveries of pharmaceuticals and whatever but it fell upon deaf ears. I feel for you. I had friends who worked at NCIX and got treated like shit, so I feel bad for them.
"Supreme Bankruptcy" is just the result of illiterate airheads not being able to read "Supreme // Bankruptcy" as _"filing for bankruptcy (Supreme Court)"_ just as "Provincial // Small Claims" in the table cells directly above that *OBVIOUSLY* reads as _"filing for small claims (Provincial Court)"._ The facepalming potential on this channel has always been noticeably high, but this was a pure masterpiece of ignorance.
as an owner of a page that uses Monero mining, I must say that it is not harmful in any way when implemented in a fair way. On my site, Monero mining is present behind a donate button and user is told about what is going to happen. They can also set a speed of mining.
I never fully understood why Linus and crew left NCIX until this video. Great respect to you and crew for this journey. You definitely made the right choice and the internet is better for it.
Supreme refers to which court is hearing the case, I.e BC Supreme Court. Some of these cases are heard in Provincial Court. Incidentally part of the great appeal of this channel is the class and integrity you guys display in your approach to your content and commentary. Thanks guys...
No wonder LTT is turning into a comedy channel!. Look at the comment section, not one discussing about the NCIX topic. The NCIX topic is the real meat of the video. Learning from both a failure & a success. Very well done Linus, time well spent!
The business model you proposed is exact same 2 biggest computer companies built in my country. They basically pushed all big retailers out of PC/laptop market and grown substantially. Basic stuff in small often nasty stores (filled with boxes usually), competent staff and almost anything on 2-5 day order ... except for GPUs obviously xD
I have spent so much money via NCIX since around 2001, since I first worked up in Fort St. John to my present day down in Kamloops. I only stepped into a physical store twice, but spent 10's of thousands of dollars via the online store. This was my exclusively favorite computer store to online shop and it truly does sadden me to see them go. My PC has evolved so much since first purchasing from them. It was also one of the most efficient online computer stores in Canada to buy from and shipping was always the most reasonable.
4:24 Oh wow, I never knew that. No wonder when I connected my PC to my T.V. I saw that weird resolution. Now I know that was actually 4K and I was using UHD. Damn....this whole time lol.
This episode was kinda emotional for me. Although no longer living in Canada, but I came from there, lived in Richmond especially. Back in the days I would pretty much drive to the Richmond store every week to pickup something. I've built like 2 computers with components bought from NCIX, with upgrades here and there.
It's also implemented by Amazon. So it wasn't rather Linus with the idea but the idea here was 'Amazon is going to be massive, let's be something useful to them so when they come to kill us they buy us instead'.
Canadacomouters is pretty cool the only brick and mortar store left for canada. Bought all my gaming parts in there. Price is not bad tho. Problems is the stocks of parts
Hopefully this won't offend anyone but out of all the etailers I have dealt with Canada computers has the worst customer service period. They never call back , don't price match and pretty much suck all around I'll order from Newegg maket place before I deal with them.
TheAstronomyDude, Yes, the Yonge store did do that. But that isn't Linus's idea was. His pitch was to completely move to these "small pickup locations". Even just a drive north you see the massive ncix store on Highway 7. That store was way to large and had tons of unused space. As long as upper management did not close those stores down then NCIX was doomed. The amount of money saved running 1 small store is nowhere near enough to cover the losses on their major store operating costs.
Just a thanks for your side of what happened with NCIX. I live in Metrotown right by their original location and had been a customer pretty much since they opened. Yesterday I needed a small item and wondered why their website wasn't loading. Thanks for the info and I am happy for your success! I think I had you help me with some orders back at the beginning of your career when you were on the floor. You earned your success, good job!
If they have a position available and they are the best candidate for that position, probably. But bankruptcy doesn't mean they are closed just yet. Those people might also have a no compete contract that NCIX bank people might try to cash in on. It's never just that simple.
linus is trying to be humble about his success but he has 4.8 Million subscribers and 2 other awesome channels. it looks like you did the right decision, you should own it more!
Said about NCIX. Got my rig at the Mississauga store in early 2015 and it is still rip snorting along. Good price and good service. Went right by the old store front today (it closed this past summer 2017) next to my grocery store. No idea things were so dire with the whole franchise. The only thing that is constant is change.
I swear to god its like TH-cam is trying to shove Linus Tech Tips down my throat. No matter what I see, or how long I stay away from this channel, this video is fucking next in line.
"Oh and Thanks Linus for having a live show so I can sometime talk with my son"
-Luke's Mom 2017
I guess she's going somewhere without internet? The moon?
so good
Naw she just went to Vernon, might as well be the moon though...
Luke = worst drop out ever
Best part of the show, seriously, genuinely, funny, tears.

The business talk about NCIX was fantastic! Do more stories and business talk!
Agreed! Been a long time follower that came in and out of the community and never actually knew the what and why Linus was longer with NCIX. It was very interesting to say the least! I personally always hated the NCIX website/shop lol Felt messy af. Unlike Newegg's. But nevertheless, did a lot of business with them. Anyway, that was very interesting Linus/Luke!
The NCIX piece was legitimately interesting to hear about. Thank Linus

Timothée Le Roy I'd love that!
oh yeah, LTT 2017 in review, the high spots, the low spots, what could have gone better... whats planned to 2018...
I think they did this last year so they'll probably do it again
Yeah, honestly I really liked hearing the story of how they started. I guess some of the hardcore techies only want cold dry tech videos, but I don't know, their faces are part of their brand, and getting to know the human aspect of Linus, Luke, and the rest of the team is really nice imo.
Like Google's Year in Review videos?
RIP NCIX, Thanks for getting Linus where he is now
IRD Studio He got there on his own, they were just a part of his journey
IRD Studio He was good even before NCIX
luke's mom is a goddamn hero.
The "Supreme" refers to a filing in Supreme Court
Four why is this so low in the comments
Well that does make a lot more sense than being "supremely bankrupted", thanks for clarifying!
I was just going to write the same. Good job explaining it.
I thought it was obvious since it also said provincial on the other ones
Linus talking about when he left NCIX is classic passionate person breaks from status quo types.
Not sure if it was answered but the Supreme or Provincial refer to which level of court it was. Provincial courts handle disputes and litigation in minor offenses, the court of queens bench handles criminal offenses and the Supreme court handles larger cases including bankruptcy.

EA the company that when they hit rock bottom, they drill a hole down the ground to go lower.
God Tube Official Channel "EA charges players by the hour to play their newest Madden 2018"
Nah fam you gotta pay to watch the main menu, you have to mortgage your home to play
Cam F Odd you say that. At the investor meeting when showing possible approaches to games as a service was selling Madden and FIFA once every 2 too 3 years but to play you need to pay a $20 monthly fee.
God Tube Official Channel ya there stock just dropped 3 billion now they want it to drop more apparently

linux should buy it
cuma212 no point
They filed for “Supreme Bankruptcy”, which I assume is much worse than Bankruptcy
US Incorrect. It's simply a bankruptcy filed through the BC Supreme Court.
Central PAHK!!!!
we need luke's mom to join the wan show as a guest
Here here, or yes yes, um... yeah
Linus, that is the most incredibly sincere and sympathetic way I have ever heard of anybody leaving a company. The way you negotiated your departure with NCIX sounds extremely mature and generous. It means a lot to me to hear of your compassion and good will for potential competitors and ex employers.
I love the real talk about your history and creation of the channel. That business model sounded awesome.
Big fan of your channel!
Thanks mate :)
Everyone press F to pay your respects to NCIX.

Lol fun words to read from 3 years ago. Dude is a youtube millionare now, with a pretty intense media group.
58:58 Linus sums everything in just one "Yeah."
Hire that Keys guy and his weird brother. I liked them.
Damn I never thought NCIX was in that big of trouble.
Me too but as a side note, I suspect Linus had a suspicion.
Their website is so bad tho. Difficult to filter and sort anything
Its been pretty obvious over the last few months every time it gets mentioned on the WAN show that NCIX people had gone AWOL and strange things going off which give huge clues.
I worked for them from 2011 to 2014, everything seemed well, but their are always mumblings of the company not doing well, but they keep expanding product line like nothing is wrong.
agreed, don't know why they never updated and improved their site
I'm honestly not surprised that NCIX went under. They had awful customer service and a website straight out of 2004.
IM WITH LUKE 9:00
Give me a 50" 4k monitor so I can just play Netflix and TH-cam through my Chromecast and PC
Like, DUH.
for real. ive always hated using TVs
Yep same here , who the fuck watches tv like it the 90's any more? fucking companies are stuck in the past.
MADBONE ya but from what I kniw you need a minimum of 25m s download speed for 4k netflix vids or it drops down to 1080p
Just get a top end LG LED LCD IPS tv and turn off all image processing and put it in game mode, total latency is less than 20ms according to google searches of people that tested them. DO NOT GET OLED complete shit for PC, I made that mistake with my last TV purchase. They are 8ms panels which is about the same as any 4k 28 inch monitor, some shit TN panel might be a bit faster but looks like garbage.
"1080p back then".....everything I own is still 1080p resolution.....guess I need to catch up. Lol.
Chatao Lauj my TV is still only 720p
Mines Hd Ready 😕
Chatao Lauj 😢same
My iPhone 5s is 600p lol
always been on 1440p. 1080 is so blurred
Linus : "im not sold on 8K".
Brandon : "I need 8K..."
Linus : "8K is the cats pajamas".
lol
Luke's mum calling low key best part of the show.
Hi Linus. Former employee at Ncix. Eye opening comments, I tell you ,a lot of us had absolutely no clue you did this much with Ncix, and had so much great idea. Glad you,re doing well.
when you skip the sponsors and they both suddenly wear glasses
Luke, keep growing the beard dude. It looks awesome.
Thinking back to the old days... you guys on NCIX helped me with my first build back in highschool 9 years ago. It is really interesting to see how far LTT has come. Proud of you all and wish you the best.
The segment of the show where Luke's mom phones in never disappoints :P
Well, he just quit the job anyway....
For those of us who watched Bleu Nuit off a set of rabbit ears on a black n white TV, you bet 480p was high def!
Ian Colquhoun Legendary. Only Canada kids will get this.
youtube on their way to recommend completely random WAN shows ... still quite the throwback
I think EA is legit just trolling the gaming community at this point
Really cool WAN show. I liked hearing about the LTT origins.
Mormodes-- yealp. Did you know when LTT first started he was still working at NCIX? It started as a tip channel run by Linus, but officially owned by NCIX. Just a cool lil tidbit
Luke's mum is what makes me come back to the WAN show week after Week, she's awesome
Luke's mom is the reason i live
What a coincidence, so is Luke!
Odd, but okay....
Just let Keys join LMG!
The whole segment about NCIX was really interesting btw!
"Bye Linus, thanks for having a Friday show so I can talk to my son every once in a while."
Hey Linus! When I worked at london drugs warehouse, I was suggesting since our distribution was located in Richmond, I suggested doing same day shipping by hiring a little van, and do same day deliveries of pharmaceuticals and whatever but it fell upon deaf ears. I feel for you. I had friends who worked at NCIX and got treated like shit, so I feel bad for them.
45:00 God damn Linus!!! Your a legit one of the people I look up to. Good shit
Same here! Right in the feels!!
You can't blame Luke, he's still updating...
Supreme bankruptcy has extra sour cream and guacamole.

"update in progress...........do not turn off" but can we still turn you on??
i certainly hope so i love that big ole laugh AHH YUYUYUUYU i like him more than linus
He's already on
Nah, he's thinking about his Mom now.
arent we all?
I want you to give me your opinions on my bullet wounds... 26:39
I died
Please buy NCIX - just so you can have the TH-cam channel and bring back NetLinked Daily!
This could be really interesting :)
Nathan Bullock We can only hope - and yeah, I saw that WAN also. It's where I got the idea, I just really want it to happen.
Canada Computers is going to take over....
Thomas Langman it's not that easy to own a business like ncix
Emanuel Morales Just the TH-cam channel would be good, for all that subscriber base
L - I -T - E - R - A - L - L - Y
that story was interesting. linus really deserves all the success. he works his ass off!
Man, that's an awesome story about how you started out and learned business by actually being a part of one. Great show.
I thought it was ex-employee phew Nicky V is fine
"Literally"
-Linus, 2017
I never fully understood why Linus and crew left NCIX until this video. Great respect to you and crew for this journey. You definitely made the right choice and the internet is better for it.
I remember how they used to do warehouse sales at NCIX warehouse in Markham, that was wayy back
Linus Business Tips
That would be great
I prefer BLT, Business Linus Tips. Also a good sandwich.

From 3:00 until 3:04, Linus mouthes f**k, c**t, d**k & s**t in that order.
wrong... he said d**n not d**k
No wonder LTT is turning into a comedy channel!. Look at the comment section, not one discussing about the NCIX topic. The NCIX topic is the real meat of the video. Learning from both a failure & a success. Very well done Linus, time well spent!

Julio Vata Yes, their banks ruptured from all the cash.
yes
Cash overflow.

Seriously am I the only one that loves it when lukes mom calls.... She's hilarious 😂
The business model you proposed is exact same 2 biggest computer companies built in my country. They basically pushed all big retailers out of PC/laptop market and grown substantially. Basic stuff in small often nasty stores (filled with boxes usually), competent staff and almost anything on 2-5 day order ... except for GPUs obviously xD
The literally is strong with this one
... And the hilarious is strong with that one...
“Average Jeff” ... My name is Jeff. Now I’m triggered.
I have spent so much money via NCIX since around 2001, since I first worked up in Fort St. John to my present day down in Kamloops. I only stepped into a physical store twice, but spent 10's of thousands of dollars via the online store.

hooked to my 32" TV I've got to run 1024x768 resolution. if not, my picture is all kinda screwbanged
What GPU do you have?
This episode was kinda emotional for me. Although no longer living in Canada, but I came from there, lived in Richmond especially. Back in the days I would pretty much drive to the Richmond store every week to pickup something. I've built like 2 computers with components bought from NCIX, with upgrades here and there.
Linus's idea is implemented in Ro by emag. Small showrooms mostly used as pick-up points and service centers.
It's also implemented by Amazon. So it wasn't rather Linus with the idea but the idea here was 'Amazon is going to be massive, let's be something useful to them so when they come to kill us they buy us instead'.
Great... Now I have to rely on Canada Computers... GOD HELP US ALL.
Matthew Teeter
You could just order all you stuff from Amazon and Newegg.
Memory Express is decent , I order from them sometimes $8.99 and you can ship as many items as u want. And they price match.
Canadacomouters is pretty cool the only brick and mortar store left for canada. Bought all my gaming parts in there. Price is not bad tho. Problems is the stocks of parts
Matthew Teeter we need to support Canada computers unless we wanna get raped by Best Buy and amazon
Hopefully this won't offend anyone but out of all the etailers I have dealt with Canada computers has the worst customer service period. They never call back , don't price match and pretty much suck all around I'll order from Newegg maket place before I deal with them.
Luke you really remind me of a family friend that died recently and I just wanna say seeing you in videos brings a huge smile face to my face

52:00 Linus, NCIX did do this. The NCIX in Toronto on Yonge street was exactly a place to pick up orders and nothing else.
you love 50 pounds of fat? damn dude. you should blog about it.
tpcs you like to say "asinine" a lot, don't you?
tpcs You made a typo. That's what his comment was about.
Did you forget to take your pills again? You should really follow the directions your psychiatrist gives you.
TheAstronomyDude, Yes, the Yonge store did do that. But that isn't Linus's idea was. His pitch was to completely move to these "small pickup locations". Even just a drive north you see the massive ncix store on Highway 7. That store was way to large and had tons of unused space. As long as upper management did not close those stores down then NCIX was doomed. The amount of money saved running 1 small store is nowhere near enough to cover the losses on their major store operating costs.
58:49 You was at 4.8 million! Now you're 6.1 million! WoW! Way to go, guys!!! Keep it up!
RIP NCIX
You were too young to die.
Luke's mum should a weekly call in.
Just a thanks for your side of what happened with NCIX. I live in Metrotown right by their original location and had been a customer pretty much since they opened. Yesterday I needed a small item and wondered why their website wasn't loading. Thanks for the info and I am happy for your success! I think I had you help me with some orders back at the beginning of your career when you were on the floor. You earned your success, good job!
Will you hire Keys?
and Julia...?
If they have a position available and they are the best candidate for that position, probably. But bankruptcy doesn't mean they are closed just yet. Those people might also have a no compete contract that NCIX bank people might try to cash in on. It's never just that simple.
jack too
Keys YES. DO IT.
Oh god i hope not. i cant stand ncix team.
#Linus is dope
linus is trying to be humble about his success but he has 4.8 Million subscribers and 2 other awesome channels. it looks like you did the right decision, you should own it more!
Momma luke is easily the best part of the show lol
Supreme just means supreme court vs provincial court. Not a special type of bankrupcy, just denotes what court the case is in.
Said about NCIX. Got my rig at the Mississauga store in early 2015 and it is still rip snorting along. Good price and good service. Went right by the old store front today (it closed this past summer 2017) next to my grocery store. No idea things were so dire with the whole franchise. The only thing that is constant is change.
I swear to god its like TH-cam is trying to shove Linus Tech Tips down my throat. No matter what I see, or how long I stay away from this channel, this video is fucking next in line.
+toasteh give in.... Mua ha ha ha ha....
If you're on Chrome then there is a neat little plugin called "Video Blocker" for blocking entire channels or specified keywords.
hire that one dude who trried to keep ncix living
DillonDrifts Riley has his own channel now
When Linus is talking about THAT csf episode and Colton "randomly" gets in the shot, GOLDEN! :D 18:50
Kristijan Cerovski SUP NACHO! Long time no see bruh?
3:00 All of the swear words Linus knows:
F*ck
C*nt
Damn?
Sh*t
