Message from NoKi1119's (timestamp guy) community post on his channel: Not sure if I can do timestamps after this WAN Show anymore. I've been hitting the monthly network bandwidth every two WAN Shows. Both TH-cam and Twitch are buffering regardless of quality chosen, and FP streams at the highest quality your network can handle. Seconds of buffering desyncronize the stopwatch I use to line up the timecodes properly, forcing me to go back and re-write them again only after VOD releases, letting me do double the work by waiting potentially hours to correct all the misaligned timecodes. Still funny reading all the "but you can use AI with your data/why won't LMG hire someone to do it over the weekend" comments when it takes as long as the show or, at times, double it or even multiple days throughout sessions to write every one of these chapters. It's all manual, folks. I could wait for after the VOD releases and then start doing the timestamps, but I made everyone have the unrealistic expectation of immediately available timestamps as soon as the stream finished - past me set the bar higher than I can reach, haha. I'm doing these while half asleep at 2-8 AM on a broken PC/phone with a limited bandwidth. I've been doing this for as long as I can because I loved doing it, it gave me a reason to go online more often. I'm grateful for every comment under my timestamps, each one of them made me smile. I tried retiring in the past, and yet I'm still doing it - hopefully I can find a way to solve this issue so I'm not forced to retire once more. See you later today or tomorrow whenever I make the timestamps. Until then.
Thank you for the update. Totally understand the issues you’ve presented. Thank you for all your work and sacrifice in providing such an amazing service that so many of us have relied upon.
LTT needs to help you, even hire you. I’m one of many that just won’t watch WAN show without what you do. In the meantime, you can download the entire stream itself once it’s concluded using yt-dlc at whatever res and quality you want, you can then use VLC to watch it locally at whatever speed you want, no buffering needed. Thank you for what you do, and LTT? Hire them. They are making you money for free, it’s only fair that you help them out.
You guys should really advertise the labs page more. I watch nearly every video LTT does and I was still under the impression labs was still being put together.
24:36 no, testing fringe brands is one of the most important things you can do! If you test these "noone's buying" brands and it turns out to be really really good, then people will start buying it and it will put downward price pressure on the popular brands. People are going to buy the well known brands because, the vast majority of the time, they won't suck. People don't buy "noone's buying" brands because there's no history, we don't know if they suck, and this is where you can use your platform to seed the public consciousness! Yes, hold the big brands accountable Gigabyte power supplies, but finding good newcomers and alternatives is also really important. Edit: timestamps are hard...
@@nintenster I thought power supplies is one of the few things EVGA still makes? They stopped making GPU's, motherboards, and cases. They still sell their PSU's, mice, keyboards, capture card, and AIO's.
@@nintenster It's odd, when I started building PCs Seasonic was a no-name brand that seemed to get included with a generic case, or it was the manufacturer that other companies rebranded. So I never really trusted them, even though I never had anything bad happen. It wasn't until I saw LTT feature them that I realised "oh yeh! them!" and they became a trusted brand to me, and this is the crux of my initial comment.
@@ffsireallydontcare Same thing for me with Gigabyte, SkHynix and Seagate. At each time I had something from each of them, initially I had no idea who they were and if they were ok. It was only hearing about these brands from places like LTT I recognised them more as legitimate brands.
Anand left Anandtech on August 30th, 2014. And Anandtech left the Internet on August 30th, 2024. That day happens to be my birthday. I do not like these gifts.
I understand what Linus is saying about avoiding Nestlé products due to their horrible practices. However, it’s quite different from avoiding Prime because of Logan Paul. Nestlé is involved in so many products and markets that it’s hard to avoid them entirely. They own a lot of brands and have taken over many essential items that people use daily. On the other hand, it’s much easier to simply not buy Prime.
Also only because Nestlé takes blame for a lot of their business practices, doesn't mean other companies with comparable margins do better. For better standards it's probably best to choose a few reputable product certifiers which match your moral and monetary standards.
Was that not his point? They pulled up the chart of nestle owned products. It's definitely harder to avoid, but if you actually care about it, it isn't.
To add about the lack of word out there, I remember watching LTT develop and work towards bringing it up and functional. That was a while ago, and I just haven't been aware that the lab was mostly if not fully functional. Would be good to see it come up in the search engine results too.
@@SailorRalphthe site has been up for a good while but there's still not a lot of content. They might be trying to build a better database before pushing it hard, but I wouldn't put it past them to just have forgor 💀
If you are creating a hardware reliability wiki, that is valuable if it's as complete as possible. What Luke is concerned with, from what it sounds like, is that doing scattershot at random crap will not be productive. Nobody will care- BUT! If you have some random guy looking at stock on amazon, and he can cross reference your site to see if it sucks or not- that is in fact more valuable than spiked user reviews. And you will need more than 3 people to do this. What you are talking about is creating a tech consumer reports that doesn't suck. Your vision has been envisioned before, and everyone else died doing it. Just keep that in mind.
meh chinese stuff rotates out names all the time. too much work tracking it all down as they close out shop and open a new one. would need to keep following the tech and name changes 😂
@@Janzer_ they (chinese TEMU brangds) change name because bad reviews/bad reputation. the fact that one PSU that sucks is still in rotation is cause there is not enough coverage about them, hence Labs testing it + communication on LTT causing less people to buy it and reputation of the brand going down is a good thing.
To me it sounds like he is worried about measuring the performance of the articles. View count will not be a good indicator for performance if your goal is a full wiki. And basically linus agreed.
Recruiting Denis to make the Sponsor spots fun was an S-tier move. I not only watch them instead of skipping them/tuning out, but even look forward to them somewhat just to see what crazy photoshop job Denis has done this time around. Seriously, I wish more creators (including LTT outside of the WAN show) did them like this.
Hi! I'm the person who had the zipper separate off my backpack. I reached out to customer service for advice on how to fix it, and was offered a replacement, but have not taken steps to get it because it seemed like overkill for a zipper haha. I'm still looking for a place that can repair it near me, and I'm just sadly carrying my old backpack in the mean time.
@@daylen577 but it's wasteful! Why replace the whole thing when it simply just needs a new stitch? Can LMG not offer to pay for the repair or give a store voucher to the value of the repair plus $30 for the inconvenience?
In case anyone was wondering, for Ocean's 11 and 12. Linus is a character in the movies, played by Matt Damon. I searched through the scripts, and the only usage I could find was referring to the character's name.
Thank you. I now feel safe ignoring his warning. Baby Linus Shi it is. Everyone else, please popularize the slang so that Linus can stay a relatively rare name.
scuffed timestamps until timestamp guy comes in (mostly for myself) 2:00 new laptops (no shot) 2:50 anandtech shutdown 18:15 comparison to LTT Labs and PSU Circuit - Luke is interim head of Labs now 32:02 Pavel Durov arrested
@@alexdavis9324 I don't think anyone is being *wildly overdramatic*... It's such a simple thing to do unyet someone who has it harder is creating those timestamps. think about how easy it would be for them or the staff to hit a button before the begining of the next segment.
I had no idea the Labs even had TH-cam channels to see what they reviewed. I think you need to promote this more because it's absolutely a resource I would use and read if I knew where it was and that it was active.
I don't because I watch the whole thing, live or not. Apologies though, I am unavailable today to have at least supplemental timestamps ready upon live end.
No idea if they were talking about my backpack, but I had the zipper in the rear most section separate from the cloth material. It meant I could no long zip that zipper at all without being destructive. I reached out to LTTStore support, not even knowing if it was something that they would be willing to cover, and they did. Huge props for that, I have bought quite a few things over the years, and they definitely calmed any concerns with me continuing to buy things from LTT. Thanks to the LTT team. Shout out to Mitchell!
Luke is correct. Warranty should have been written. Even with all of Linus's justification, something as important as a warranty should be formally documented. Signed, very happy backpack owner
Yes, i agree linus and co handled it fine in the end. But the way they handled it should not become the norm. Warranty should absolutey be prepared prior to launch. Nobody benefits from the "fix in post" , "we will patch it in later" mindset.
LTT Labs - One thing I would like to see is somewhere to find out specs on SSDs. Being that is the most common upgrade for poeple, myself included, I google ssd specs all the time, but sometimes its hard to find info on wether or not the SSD has dram or not and real world speeds. This would be a helpful tool that I would use quite a bit. Some vendors simply do not tell you if it has DRAM. I have purchased models that did not specify they had DRAM and they had it and most dont. Would be nice to know for sure before purchasing.
@@tcnymex I just read one to check and I completely and utterly disagree. What you need when purchasing is utterly clear information. The review I just read doesn't even mention DRAM so it doesn't tell you whether or not it has it. So it's 100% useless.
Moderating the internet is one of the worst jobs you can have. I think people greatly underestimate how insane that type of work is. If you have to moderate Facebook, Instagram and such. You will see dead people, child abuse and worse. Again and again and again, every day, hundreds of such pictures and video's every singe day. 99% of people that sign up for that sort of job thinking they can handle it end up quitting within the first hour of training and all of them will be scared for life.
Charles Stross wrote a book a decade or so ago where one of the major characters was a DI in a small little police task force who's job was to go through that stuff searching for crimes to hand off to other departments if they'd found the crime had happened in the UK. Or passing it onto other similar departments around the globe if they figured out it happened under their jurisdiction. The group couldn't get more people because everyone quit. The London police force moved them out to their own little building so people passing by didn't have to see what was on their monitors. No one came to their little building for any reason. An entire department of pariahs because what they handled was too much for even the police to deal with on a regular basis. Then I found out that was based on fact. That really is a little bit how those departments work in the real world. Not even grizzled law enforcement who've had to walk into bad scenes for real are willing to work in those departments. The amount of it is just too much. It takes a very specific type of person.
Linus! I know you read comments - what you are doing with Labs is literally what the internet requres in order for it to stay useful - I LOVE the "bad business" decision to do good for the community I don't know how much more I can offer my support but I will shout it to the rooftops that THIS IS SUCH A POSITIVE! You can't measure it in dollars! Love it!
@@artiumromanov9798 Yeah we had a computer club and it was (is) one of the best high schools in the state. We thought it was awesome hardware companies were giving him stuff to review.
ill turn on a WAN show VOD every few nights to peacefully fall asleep to. As a freelance writer for a tech site, it just got me more stressed and kept me awake 😅
Also, another comment about LTT’s customer support. It is amazing. I had a very expensive order stolen from me when it was delivered to my house and LTT instead of going through the delivery service which they said tends to not favor. The customer just gave me full credit so I could redo my order incredible by them genuinely.
"Automations should be fine" is such a hard sell considering the difficulties that have been had with the existing automations. I'm definitely hopeful for it BUT with the existing track record of automated devices in the home..., kind of hard to be optimistic but as I said, I'm hopeful.
Yeh the only way to get reliable home automation is to DIY and have to spend a non negligble space, money and time on a local server to route everything through. As the phone home requirements and updates and such you have no control voer are what cause 90% of issues with these systems.
What differentiates a successful media company from one that fails is staying with the times. By allowing LTT to continue to grow and innovate, allows them to maintain the archive like Labs.
i really love frame work and what they're doing, i also love the community that has formed around it but sadly when i was looking to buy my laptop for uni, it just did not compete nor did it even come close to what i actually needed it to do.
Honestly i think its important to review the lesser known companies. Say they turn out to be good and maybe cheaper with good warranty etc it adds competition. It was so hard to find info for so many specific parts cause its rare for people to do em these days if it isnt a major cpu/gpu or certain more popular pc cases which leads a lot of people to make the same pcs as everyone else. Psus dont seem to get proper reviews very often, even big brands like corsair.
Linus gave very good example on what happens when government declares that result of voting is quite different from what people votes for. I live in a country that, being part of former USSR block knows it very well. We also know very well that government (every one - there are no govts that don’t want more and more power) wants to have full control over people’s communications is for this. Safety of kids, drugs trafficking, etc. are just convenient excuses to impose control. Smoke and mirrors.
2:04:10 There's a (dying) burger chain in the UK called Wimpy that does a hotdog sausage in a burger bun. It's formed like lots of tiny sausages linked together in a circle, and the burger is called "Bender in a bun with Cheese".
@@itskdog There's one at Clacket Lane Service station. I haven't seen one anywhere else since I was a kid. I think at one point Little Chef was serving the Wimpy's menu along their own (presumably as an attempt to avoid the inevitable).
Yes, Labs is a support for the writers but also they find stuff out as a source of topics and ideas for content for the whole LTT. When the things they test have issues and don't perform as planned or is just a really cool thing!
Regarding the courses, if you don't want to make money on them, include a LTT Store voucher with the course for the cost of the course. So you still win with sales.
44:13 This is actually what happened in France the day I wrote this comment lol, September 5th of 2024. It was foreseeable if you follow French news but Linus just guessed it. Love you guys and all the work you put in for us, cheers from France !
Cancelled our wedding cause it was gonna ruin relationships. Too much stress. Gonna just do a small thing with the wedding party and the minister (who is also a close friend)
Before seeing this today I had no idea PSU Circuit came out/existed yet. It would probably do better if you guys talked about it more in mainline videos and WAN show. Now that I know it exists I'll definitely watch it
[01:52:18] This line, is the reason I have so much respect for Linus and the team at LMG. If everyone you're talking to agrees, you're in the wrong circle, and you're probably going the wrong way
If Ad Block is piracy, then what the ad companies does is stalking. If they did not track us, from platform to platform, I would not mind ads because I can just tune those out. Even though I PAY for youtube premium to not be tracked and see ads here, my filter still filters out 399 things on this page alone.
Ads are stalking, but adblock is not piracy. Linus is allowed to be wrong. It doesn't matter whether he.yhinks people should or shouldn't do it, it's literally not piracy
@@bradbradson4543 100% agree. It's actually just a PC-level targetted firewall blocking unwanted content from getting onto your network. Nobody throws a fit about server or gateway level firewalls blocking data from entering a private network.
@@bradbradson4543 Assumption 1: if content is freely acccessible displayed ads are the payment Assumption 2: piracy is the use of copyrighted work without paying for it Conclusion: blocking ads equals blocking payment thus using copyrighted material without payment which is piracy. You are free to challenge these assumptions.
Loved the conversation on content moderation. I work in Trust and Safety for a large social platform and people always assume it is so easy. So much nuance and so many thin lines between privacy and safety. You would be amazed at the things people discuss on social platform, graphic content, and the amount of illegal activity.
If your employer is Discord then your platform is garbage and I have no sympathy. I was banned from Discord immediately after completing the account application process and before the landing page loaded. How is that possible? Then, after getting reactivated by TaS I was banned again 2 weeks later for no reason. TaS took so long to look at my appeal that my account was automatically deleted by the system, then they got back to me and said that they couldn't find my account. Yeh, garbage platform.
@@ffsireallydontcare not discord thankfully, my company is a bit more geared at work/professionals hint hint. At this point though so much of Trust and Safety is being automated via AI models or outsourced to MSP companies/workforces that I am not surprised. The sad truth is tech companies are trying to maximize profits and at least at my company, labor is the main cost. Since TnS is a cost center and execs see it as an easy savings to cut teams/outsource. So much of the bulk appeals/CS work gets dumped with MSP’s that unfortunately are not trained enough/over worked and AI models are pushed too early before fully ready causing those exact issues. Sorry about your situation that does suck!
Rocking 40TBs of nothing but SSD in my build. I have no regrets other then buying a nvme from sabrent. Their 8TB Gen3 drive died after only a year. But back in 2012 i bought my first ssd from OCZ and to this day its still going. Thats what drove me into SSD without question and has lead me to this day my current setup. Thanks to everyone including you linus for making that video back then.
Linus, I didn't watch last week, but if the transparent screwdriver is made out of acrylic you could potentially solve this by heating it up to near the melting point of acrylic (If you have anyone on your team or any partner who specializes in manufacturing? They might be able to tell you the exact temperature and a process for this) doing this can repair any cosmetic damage to the acrylic because of how acrylic works and this is generally done as a last step in any manufactured acrylic products because getting them to come out pristine is basically impossible so this will just make them actually look pristine instead of spending 10 times as much on the manufacturing process
Dont kid yourself, discord killed teamspeak on functionality and UI. I picked up discord when it was in beta and pushed my whole guild to it. Management tools were better. Community was stronger with people being able to communicate off platform. And the UI was just so much better! So i didn't have to spend 20 minutes walking people theough it so we could run a damn dungeon.
anandtech - I just want to point out we're at a point where ltt admittedly jumped through crazy hoops to put out psu videos while pointing out a website was the right format for the info. There's just not enough people getting their info that way. So what could anandtech have done in this market?
@@pitterpatterlf the former head of the labs (Gary Key) was formerly of AnandTech, though. And AnandTech style data would still be good for internal info even if all of it doesn't show up in user/viewer-facing content.
I don't understand the timestamp obsession. I can't go a single week without listening to WAN show beginning to end. I couldn't care less about timestamps, I just start at 0 and make my way through it
I care more about timestamps now with all the chat about merch... I'm an outlier but I couldn't care less about a screwdriver or pen. That and I couldn't afford the postage to Australia anyway.
I tend to watch the whole thing myself _(also essential to do the timestamps anyway),_ but I understand the need for timestamps. Simply put, not everyone is interested with all the topics. Having to fast-forward by pre-set seconds to skip a particular topic could take quite a time because you'd have to listen to what they're talking about before dragging the seek bar or fast-forwarding by keys again. One could accidentally miss little topics one is interested in, too.
2:04:46 what you are describing is essentially just a "Grobe Rindswurst im Brötchen" (sausage made with coarse ground beef in a bun, eg your "hamburg dog") and a "Fleichkäsebrötchen" (a thick slice similar to a patty cut from a loaf of fine sausage "goop" {ja ja andere würzung...} baked in a box shape eg your "hot dog burger") you guys over the pond really have no butchery and sausage culture.... a trip to the deli meat section over there must be depressing for a german. same as with the bread display at the bakery XD
North America just has a depressing food culture. Hardly any actual bakeries, delis, or butchers. Most big box grocery stores have them as departments, but you just don't get dedicated local community locations anymore. Even local pubs are getting rare.
I feel you about the junk car thing. Love having a beater that runs great and I don't have to stress a scratch or ding. I have known people that get a ding and theyre all of a sudden having a bad day because they need to take it in for a whole ass paint job and I am just not about that life.
I live in a developing country (Myanmar) in the middle of a civil war and economic crisis. I could make sure the hats to to people who could really use them if you guys were interested.
I already had one of the larger IFIXIT screwdriver kits, but still bought an LTT screwdriver because (1) the novelty of having some LTT merch (2) the functionality of a ratcheting screwdriver isn't diminished by owning the other set (3) I can us either bit set for either driver. I will likely end up buying the precision set or one of the Smaller IFIXIT sets as a more portable solution. Great products from both sides. Love the work you both do.
How can it be, that you are saying to you turned monetization off for LTT on YT, yet I am getting still hit with adverts every few minutes (external YT generated adversts) !???
Because YT just takes that as an indication that you don't want to make money from it, and so they play the ads anyway and pocket the profits. Same reason they play ads on non-partner channels.
Just use one of the fine YT player alternatives that was covered by LTT recently. There was a time when YT ads weren't annoying and I was not bothered by them, then they became utterly obnoxious so I now avoid them completely.
Laptops are one of those things where preferences are a huge factor. It's not like testing a CPU or GPU and saying that objectively it performs in X application with Y performance numbers. I love my FW13 especially after I upgraded to a Ryzen 7, but I recognize that it isn't for everyone. Most people aren't going to want to open it up and upgrade the board no matter how easy it is. Some people consider OLED panels a must have. Some people want more GPU power, touch screens, etc. Most people don't care that it works great in Linux. And sure the FW16 has more powerful GPU options but that is a very expensive laptop. That said, most would have to admit that it is a good thing that it can be disassembled and serviced with parts readily available, and that the entire industry should move in that direction. But at the same time it isn't everything for everyone.
45:13 very good take, as a security professional I fully agree. I think despite the risks end to end encryption must exist. Privacy must exist. And yes it can be abused as much as an hammer or a gun or car used for a heist. We are not banning cars. We are not banning hammers. We should not consider banning end to end encryption.
LTT Labs, I think one way to try and get traffic over to the site, have a short video that ranks a price point in the hardware space (on TH-cam) and then point the deep review back to the site. The analytics for TH-cam etc is a whole other beast that LTT is easily far more capable to speak to the feasibility of it with relation to the channels performance and health. i.e. it just may not pay out in the end to go that route.
I don't think any private communications should be moderated... we gave it up with phones and text messages... Imagine if the gov read all your mail and "moderated" it
Labs feels like a backend department feeding others but at the same time release their findings on their own. It should have a website with a searchable central database that contains all the testing results for the different components that just keeps getting updated and maintained and build up historical data and data of current components of all types who’s benchmarks can be translated to numbers.
I thought you were talking about LTT for a second and I'm like what drugs are you doing and can I have some, and then I realized you're talking about the headline topic
I found it to be a hostile place. They also hired Peter Bright and my opinion is that there are a lot more within that culture. The problem with elitist communities is that you run out of people... Kind of glad to see some of these sites shutting down because I genuinely think they're harmful.
1:47:00 Windows is not an AMD product. The chips were running perfectly fine on linux. Maybe blame Microsoft? It's not the first time their OS can't figure out how to use a new CPU archicture properly.
seemingly it's not only the new architecture, it seems all ryzen cpus (or at the very least zen4 and zen5) are profiting from the update. that doesn't make it not MS' fault though. BUT AMD seems to not have tested that strange way before, because their numbers in the review guides usually weren't off that much from what reviewers saw (in the same games). that being said the last few refreshed zen3 cpus had a similar discrepancy. and thus not having figured it out earlier is on AMD.
@@h.1699 Yeah, the procedural mistake to not run it the way a user would is fair. That one is on AMD. Although I would almost bet that they tested on Win 10 before this launch. In any case: With these new patches the enduser is now getting exactly the promised performance and owners of older generations are getting a free boost.
I think you kinda entirely missed the point that both anandtech and toms hardware belong to the same private equity firm and they are reducing headcount to increase money in their pocket. Nothing more to see here, it really isn't that hard to figure out. I garantee you that private equity firm spent 0 seconds of headspace wondering about what anandtech was doing and if it was good to keep it going or not. These guys have excel spreadsheets and winner takes all, thats all there is to it. This 'mentality' will keep destroying outlets and companies all over the place until only the juicy cashcows are left, and maybe another generation restarts websites and doesn't cash out to them again.
Maybe you can quietly give the beanies to a homeless charity or similar, if they're needed there. You do some genuine good, without profiting financially or reputationally (if you do it quietly).
A beanie is costing a dollar or so (not the Ltt one , but a beanie as an item out there, that’s it’s cost) Your option is almost wasteful, if not completely certainly 99% . There are other ideas much nore productive and efficient
MiniPCs are such an interesting category right now. Beelink and Minisforum and releasing some of the coolest things in tech. A miniPC with a full PCIEx8 slot? Much more interesting than another 4090 or equivalent $1000-2000 GPU benchmark or whatever.
Same here. I don’t recall them mentioning it, but I don't watch all the videos, and I often use timestamps to skip parts of the WAN show (they're too long otherwise).
It's quite possible that a lot of the discussion thus far has been in the floatplane pre-show (PSU Circuit shows up on FP although some folks wish it didn't) and that was mostly about the voice and other perceived short-comings.
Another great show that my TH-cam decided i should watch while i was sleeping. I got to awake from a dream. In the dream Linus was my boss and i was in a large business meeting at the LTT cloverdale location. Ended up watching the show anyways even after the dream :)
Hi Linus (and Dan and Luke). I wanted to maybe ask if you would consider revising your Secretlab sponsorship? It seems that, in the office chair world, they have a reputation for bad customer service and products that fall apart pretty quickly. I believe this would be beneficial to review. It always kinda bugged me that they are such a consistent sponsor with they way they compose themselves as a company. Appreciate the content! Thanks
It seems? Office chair community? Bad products that fall apart? Brother, I'm literally sitting in their chairs for 4 years now, upgraded to recent Titan as I love the superb quality. They are not as ergonomic as some premium office chairs, yes, but my back and bottom love it, and I'm sitting like 14 hours a day of work and gaming.
Spikes in productivity question 2.52.42: A friend of mine used to smash out all his dev work in the first 48hours of the week and then drip feed it back to the team/boss to keep a consistent work load in the eyes of everyone else. he took the rest of the week off basically.
1000% with Luke about cars though. I don't want a new car, I just want a car I can use and that isn't going to bankrupt me every 2 weeks. Unfortunately it seems like I can only pick one of the two though.
Limit on pens? My mom used to be a checkout clerk at Walmart. She had literal bins full of pens. Customer writes a check and keeps the pen. Time 50 an hour and 10+ hours a day.
I absolutely love the tangents you go off on. "What tech do you value the most?" Somehow you end up talking about Luke-Linus to wife ratio. Btw. Slap-a-mic needs to be a product name.
Take the warrantied back packs, repair them then sell them as repaired back packs with a very limited/ no warranty. This opens up the market to people that don't have the funds to get a back pack at full price
@@kodaxmax so what do you do when you warranty a backpack? Do you just send a new one? So that is a 100% loss. You must be able to assess the backpack before sending a new one right? so assess if it is cost effective to repair, if not don't waste the shipping. Surely returning the backpack would cost less than $50 and after repairing sell it for $100-200 depending on condition there may not be much profit if any but it keeps with Linus' principles of no waste.
@@justindavis3387 I obviously don't the exact numbers, but you can see how expensive shipping is in canada. It could easily run over $50 to ship back to warehouse and ship back repair/replacement. But thats not the only cost, theres also all the man hours involved. That said you are right, you can just assess on a case by case basis, but then you need somone, or many somones full time handling and assessing these requests manually. As well as walking customers through sending photos or whatever.
10:35 The better question is: why doesn't Linus Tech Tips review Enermax power supplies if they exist? And that Acemagic Mini PC from before is not that unknown here in europe.
I guess it's more of a regional thing regarding mini pcs. They seem to be more popular here in Europe? Likely due to people living in cramped apartments.

so frustrating that no one at LMG does it themselves because sometimes hours after the vod goes up its still not here and usually it just means I won't watch since it doesn't come in my feed again after I leave it & I'm not gonna skim through the vid to figure out what I do or don't want to listen to :/
@@kqelinn I also think it’s super frustrating but they talked about why that is in a previous show. The show is recorded Friday afternoon (or evening?) so they would need to dedicate someone spend the Friday night. On the other hand they could have a button for creating them while they are recording. I saw other podcasts do it similarly

Someone just posted a message that is from noki and it says he doesn’t have enough network bandwidth or something and can’t work on timestamps currently but wants to continue
"I value my NAS my NAS is what i would save in a fire" Because my off-site backup only updates whenver i bring my on-site redundancy to it this is why my on-site redundancy is light and portable apevia X-QPACK 2 case with all SSD storage with the full capabilities of my primary NAS for recording TV and cameras. Sure, way more expensive, and sure most people would use this as their primary, but because it is set up to be a grab and go thats not in my server rack, it really needs to be the secondary. Fire i wouldnt really worry about but a flood due to a bust pipe i'd definately grab it because i can re-locate it and i have almost the full functionality of my server rack other than POE switching and high speed networking.
It's wierd, just today I was thinking about ASUS and thought whatever happened to LTT not taking their sponsorship. Did ASUS just accept it as a reality and do nothing to improve? Glad to hear they even though of improving.

Very sorry about the delay, can't promise on-time stamps anymore but I'll try my best!
Our hero is back. Thanks to this Community
Hey LTT! Pin this comment.
it's fine, live and enjoy your life first, do timestamps second, we can wait
Thanks, ur awesome for this doesnt matter that ur late
Thanks for your service, remember to put yourself first though
Message from NoKi1119's (timestamp guy) community post on his channel:
Not sure if I can do timestamps after this WAN Show anymore.
I've been hitting the monthly network bandwidth every two WAN Shows. Both TH-cam and Twitch are buffering regardless of quality chosen, and FP streams at the highest quality your network can handle. Seconds of buffering desyncronize the stopwatch I use to line up the timecodes properly, forcing me to go back and re-write them again only after VOD releases, letting me do double the work by waiting potentially hours to correct all the misaligned timecodes.
Still funny reading all the "but you can use AI with your data/why won't LMG hire someone to do it over the weekend" comments when it takes as long as the show or, at times, double it or even multiple days throughout sessions to write every one of these chapters. It's all manual, folks. I could wait for after the VOD releases and then start doing the timestamps, but I made everyone have the unrealistic expectation of immediately available timestamps as soon as the stream finished - past me set the bar higher than I can reach, haha.
I'm doing these while half asleep at 2-8 AM on a broken PC/phone with a limited bandwidth. I've been doing this for as long as I can because I loved doing it, it gave me a reason to go online more often. I'm grateful for every comment under my timestamps, each one of them made me smile. I tried retiring in the past, and yet I'm still doing it - hopefully I can find a way to solve this issue so I'm not forced to retire once more.
See you later today or tomorrow whenever I make the timestamps. Until then.
Thank you for the update. Totally understand the issues you’ve presented. Thank you for all your work and sacrifice in providing such an amazing service that so many of us have relied upon.
Perhaps LTT should hook you up with a tech upgrade as thanks for all your help so far
Thank you for the update, you've been a great help for many years! All out of the goodness of your heart too, you're an amazing person.
LTT needs to help you, even hire you. I’m one of many that just won’t watch WAN show without what you do. In the meantime, you can download the entire stream itself once it’s concluded using yt-dlc at whatever res and quality you want, you can then use VLC to watch it locally at whatever speed you want, no buffering needed.
Thank you for what you do, and LTT? Hire them. They are making you money for free, it’s only fair that you help them out.

You guys should really advertise the labs page more. I watch nearly every video LTT does and I was still under the impression labs was still being put together.
@@kaimeraprime oh thanks for letting us know. Can you even link it here

I had no idea labs had a website or channel.
24:36 no, testing fringe brands is one of the most important things you can do! If you test these "noone's buying" brands and it turns out to be really really good, then people will start buying it and it will put downward price pressure on the popular brands. People are going to buy the well known brands because, the vast majority of the time, they won't suck. People don't buy "noone's buying" brands because there's no history, we don't know if they suck, and this is where you can use your platform to seed the public consciousness!
Yes, hold the big brands accountable Gigabyte power supplies, but finding good newcomers and alternatives is also really important.
Edit: timestamps are hard...
I never head of seasonic for power supplies, only ever got EVGA, but cant get them anymore, so my newest build has a seasonic in it now
@@nintenster I thought power supplies is one of the few things EVGA still makes? They stopped making GPU's, motherboards, and cases. They still sell their PSU's, mice, keyboards, capture card, and AIO's.
@@nintenster seasonic is one of the PSU goats, almost always very high quality 👍🏻🤙🏻
@@nintenster It's odd, when I started building PCs Seasonic was a no-name brand that seemed to get included with a generic case, or it was the manufacturer that other companies rebranded. So I never really trusted them, even though I never had anything bad happen. It wasn't until I saw LTT feature them that I realised "oh yeh! them!" and they became a trusted brand to me, and this is the crux of my initial comment.
@@ffsireallydontcare Same thing for me with Gigabyte, SkHynix and Seagate. At each time I had something from each of them, initially I had no idea who they were and if they were ok. It was only hearing about these brands from places like LTT I recognised them more as legitimate brands.

I understand what Linus is saying about avoiding Nestlé products due to their horrible practices. However, it’s quite different from avoiding Prime because of Logan Paul. Nestlé is involved in so many products and markets that it’s hard to avoid them entirely. They own a lot of brands and have taken over many essential items that people use daily. On the other hand, it’s much easier to simply not buy Prime.
Also only because Nestlé takes blame for a lot of their business practices, doesn't mean other companies with comparable margins do better. For better standards it's probably best to choose a few reputable product certifiers which match your moral and monetary standards.
It’s easy to avoid nestle, don’t use processed crap.
I successfully avoid Unilever, now that takes commitment.
Was that not his point? They pulled up the chart of nestle owned products. It's definitely harder to avoid, but if you actually care about it, it isn't.
@@justaweeb14688 Nestle is even involved with water and pharmaceuticals.
I had no idea LTT Labs site existed. There hasn't been a good job at promoting the site for the casual LTT viewer on TH-cam.
To add about the lack of word out there, I remember watching LTT develop and work towards bringing it up and functional. That was a while ago, and I just haven't been aware that the lab was mostly if not fully functional. Would be good to see it come up in the search engine results too.
@@SailorRalphthe site has been up for a good while but there's still not a lot of content. They might be trying to build a better database before pushing it hard, but I wouldn't put it past them to just have forgor 💀
@@dongordon2754 That makes me feel better. Also chuckled a bit at, 'maybe they just forgot'.
If you are creating a hardware reliability wiki, that is valuable if it's as complete as possible. What Luke is concerned with, from what it sounds like, is that doing scattershot at random crap will not be productive. Nobody will care- BUT! If you have some random guy looking at stock on amazon, and he can cross reference your site to see if it sucks or not- that is in fact more valuable than spiked user reviews. And you will need more than 3 people to do this. What you are talking about is creating a tech consumer reports that doesn't suck. Your vision has been envisioned before, and everyone else died doing it. Just keep that in mind.
meh chinese stuff rotates out names all the time. too much work tracking it all down as they close out shop and open a new one. would need to keep following the tech and name changes 😂
@@Janzer_ they (chinese TEMU brangds) change name because bad reviews/bad reputation. the fact that one PSU that sucks is still in rotation is cause there is not enough coverage about them, hence Labs testing it + communication on LTT causing less people to buy it and reputation of the brand going down is a good thing.
To me it sounds like he is worried about measuring the performance of the articles. View count will not be a good indicator for performance if your goal is a full wiki. And basically linus agreed.
Recruiting Denis to make the Sponsor spots fun was an S-tier move. I not only watch them instead of skipping them/tuning out, but even look forward to them somewhat just to see what crazy photoshop job Denis has done this time around. Seriously, I wish more creators (including LTT outside of the WAN show) did them like this.

Luke is correct. Warranty should have been written. Even with all of Linus's justification, something as important as a warranty should be formally documented.
Signed, very happy backpack owner
And it was.
@@samlevi4744 shouldn't even be a debate though should it. You wouldn't question having a receipt.
Yes, i agree linus and co handled it fine in the end. But the way they handled it should not become the norm. Warranty should absolutey be prepared prior to launch. Nobody benefits from the "fix in post" , "we will patch it in later" mindset.
LTT Labs - One thing I would like to see is somewhere to find out specs on SSDs. Being that is the most common upgrade for poeple, myself included, I google ssd specs all the time, but sometimes its hard to find info on wether or not the SSD has dram or not and real world speeds. This would be a helpful tool that I would use quite a bit. Some vendors simply do not tell you if it has DRAM. I have purchased models that did not specify they had DRAM and they had it and most dont. Would be nice to know for sure before purchasing.
@@TheTechJunkDrawer PC world has pretty good SSD reviews ...
@@tcnymex I just read one to check and I completely and utterly disagree. What you need when purchasing is utterly clear information. The review I just read doesn't even mention DRAM so it doesn't tell you whether or not it has it. So it's 100% useless.

Charles Stross wrote a book a decade or so ago where one of the major characters was a DI in a small little police task force who's job was to go through that stuff searching for crimes to hand off to other departments if they'd found the crime had happened in the UK. Or passing it onto other similar departments around the globe if they figured out it happened under their jurisdiction. The group couldn't get more people because everyone quit. The London police force moved them out to their own little building so people passing by didn't have to see what was on their monitors. No one came to their little building for any reason. An entire department of pariahs because what they handled was too much for even the police to deal with on a regular basis.
Then I found out that was based on fact. That really is a little bit how those departments work in the real world. Not even grizzled law enforcement who've had to walk into bad scenes for real are willing to work in those departments. The amount of it is just too much. It takes a very specific type of person.

Also, another comment about LTT’s customer support. It is amazing. I had a very expensive order stolen from me when it was delivered to my house and LTT instead of going through the delivery service which they said tends to not favor. The customer just gave me full credit so I could redo my order incredible by them genuinely.
"Automations should be fine" is such a hard sell considering the difficulties that have been had with the existing automations. I'm definitely hopeful for it BUT with the existing track record of automated devices in the home..., kind of hard to be optimistic but as I said, I'm hopeful.
Yeh the only way to get reliable home automation is to DIY and have to spend a non negligble space, money and time on a local server to route everything through. As the phone home requirements and updates and such you have no control voer are what cause 90% of issues with these systems.
What differentiates a successful media company from one that fails is staying with the times. By allowing LTT to continue to grow and innovate, allows them to maintain the archive like Labs.

Honestly i think its important to review the lesser known companies. Say they turn out to be good and maybe cheaper with good warranty etc it adds competition. It was so hard to find info for so many specific parts cause its rare for people to do em these days if it isnt a major cpu/gpu or certain more popular pc cases which leads a lot of people to make the same pcs as everyone else. Psus dont seem to get proper reviews very often, even big brands like corsair.
Linus gave very good example on what happens when government declares that result of voting is quite different from what people votes for. I live in a country that, being part of former USSR block knows it very well. We also know very well that government (every one - there are no govts that don’t want more and more power) wants to have full control over people’s communications is for this. Safety of kids, drugs trafficking, etc. are just convenient excuses to impose control. Smoke and mirrors.

They're still around? Damn, i think i've only ever been to one of their places once, when i was a kid.
Wimpy is still going strong in South Africa
@@itskdog There's one at Clacket Lane Service station. I haven't seen one anywhere else since I was a kid. I think at one point Little Chef was serving the Wimpy's menu along their own (presumably as an attempt to avoid the inevitable).
Yes, Labs is a support for the writers but also they find stuff out as a source of topics and ideas for content for the whole LTT. When the things they test have issues and don't perform as planned or is just a really cool thing!
Regarding the courses, if you don't want to make money on them, include a LTT Store voucher with the course for the cost of the course. So you still win with sales.
I miss timestamp guy already :(
44:13 This is actually what happened in France the day I wrote this comment lol, September 5th of 2024. It was foreseeable if you follow French news but Linus just guessed it. Love you guys and all the work you put in for us, cheers from France !
Someone go check up on timestamp guy. I'm getting worried
17:21 this whole conversation sounds like the future of LTT labs
Cancelled our wedding cause it was gonna ruin relationships. Too much stress. Gonna just do a small thing with the wedding party and the minister (who is also a close friend)
Before seeing this today I had no idea PSU Circuit came out/existed yet. It would probably do better if you guys talked about it more in mainline videos and WAN show.
Now that I know it exists I'll definitely watch it
Timestamp guy, we summon thee
[01:52:18] This line, is the reason I have so much respect for Linus and the team at LMG.
If everyone you're talking to agrees, you're in the wrong circle, and you're probably going the wrong way
If Ad Block is piracy, then what the ad companies does is stalking.
If they did not track us, from platform to platform, I would not mind ads because I can just tune those out.
Even though I PAY for youtube premium to not be tracked and see ads here, my filter still filters out 399 things on this page alone.
It is piracy. And it is stalking. Just legal grey stalking.
Ads are stalking, but adblock is not piracy. Linus is allowed to be wrong. It doesn't matter whether he.yhinks people should or shouldn't do it, it's literally not piracy
@@bradbradson4543 how is it not? Your not paying for the content. Yet still using it. That is piracy
@@bradbradson4543 100% agree. It's actually just a PC-level targetted firewall blocking unwanted content from getting onto your network. Nobody throws a fit about server or gateway level firewalls blocking data from entering a private network.
@@bradbradson4543
Assumption 1: if content is freely acccessible displayed ads are the payment
Assumption 2: piracy is the use of copyrighted work without paying for it
Conclusion: blocking ads equals blocking payment thus using copyrighted material without payment which is piracy.
You are free to challenge these assumptions.
I'm sorry we took you for granted, Time Stamps Guy!...You were the Best of us!
Loved the conversation on content moderation. I work in Trust and Safety for a large social platform and people always assume it is so easy. So much nuance and so many thin lines between privacy and safety. You would be amazed at the things people discuss on social platform, graphic content, and the amount of illegal activity.
If your employer is Discord then your platform is garbage and I have no sympathy. I was banned from Discord immediately after completing the account application process and before the landing page loaded. How is that possible? Then, after getting reactivated by TaS I was banned again 2 weeks later for no reason. TaS took so long to look at my appeal that my account was automatically deleted by the system, then they got back to me and said that they couldn't find my account. Yeh, garbage platform.
@@ffsireallydontcare not discord thankfully, my company is a bit more geared at work/professionals hint hint. At this point though so much of Trust and Safety is being automated via AI models or outsourced to MSP companies/workforces that I am not surprised. The sad truth is tech companies are trying to maximize profits and at least at my company, labor is the main cost. Since TnS is a cost center and execs see it as an easy savings to cut teams/outsource. So much of the bulk appeals/CS work gets dumped with MSP’s that unfortunately are not trained enough/over worked and AI models are pushed too early before fully ready causing those exact issues. Sorry about your situation that does suck!
Rocking 40TBs of nothing but SSD in my build. I have no regrets other then buying a nvme from sabrent. Their 8TB Gen3 drive died after only a year. But back in 2012 i bought my first ssd from OCZ and to this day its still going. Thats what drove me into SSD without question and has lead me to this day my current setup. Thanks to everyone including you linus for making that video back then.
Linus, I didn't watch last week, but if the transparent screwdriver is made out of acrylic you could potentially solve this by heating it up to near the melting point of acrylic (If you have anyone on your team or any partner who specializes in manufacturing? They might be able to tell you the exact temperature and a process for this) doing this can repair any cosmetic damage to the acrylic because of how acrylic works and this is generally done as a last step in any manufactured acrylic products because getting them to come out pristine is basically impossible so this will just make them actually look pristine instead of spending 10 times as much on the manufacturing process
Dont kid yourself, discord killed teamspeak on functionality and UI. I picked up discord when it was in beta and pushed my whole guild to it. Management tools were better. Community was stronger with people being able to communicate off platform. And the UI was just so much better! So i didn't have to spend 20 minutes walking people theough it so we could run a damn dungeon.
anandtech - I just want to point out we're at a point where ltt admittedly jumped through crazy hoops to put out psu videos while pointing out a website was the right format for the info. There's just not enough people getting their info that way. So what could anandtech have done in this market?
Pass the torch…which is what they did.
Some of the Anandtech staff might make for good additions to the Labs team.
Anandtech did in-depth high quality reviews though, much different level than "labs."
@@pitterpatterlf the former head of the labs (Gary Key) was formerly of AnandTech, though. And AnandTech style data would still be good for internal info even if all of it doesn't show up in user/viewer-facing content.
Another classic WAN 🎉 Love it.
I don't understand the timestamp obsession. I can't go a single week without listening to WAN show beginning to end. I couldn't care less about timestamps, I just start at 0 and make my way through it
I care more about timestamps now with all the chat about merch...
I'm an outlier but I couldn't care less about a screwdriver or pen. That and I couldn't afford the postage to Australia anyway.
I tend to watch the whole thing myself _(also essential to do the timestamps anyway),_ but I understand the need for timestamps.
Simply put, not everyone is interested with all the topics.
Having to fast-forward by pre-set seconds to skip a particular topic could take quite a time because you'd have to listen to what they're talking about before dragging the seek bar or fast-forwarding by keys again. One could accidentally miss little topics one is interested in, too.
1:53:15 Linus understands save files. I agree
2:04:46 what you are describing is essentially just a "Grobe Rindswurst im Brötchen" (sausage made with coarse ground beef in a bun, eg your "hamburg dog") and a "Fleichkäsebrötchen" (a thick slice similar to a patty cut from a loaf of fine sausage "goop" {ja ja andere würzung...} baked in a box shape eg your "hot dog burger")
you guys over the pond really have no butchery and sausage culture....
a trip to the deli meat section over there must be depressing for a german. same as with the bread display at the bakery XD
North America just has a depressing food culture. Hardly any actual bakeries, delis, or butchers. Most big box grocery stores have them as departments, but you just don't get dedicated local community locations anymore. Even local pubs are getting rare.
I literally paid myself back for my 3070 because of the LTT nicehash video. So thanks Linus.
Pouring one out for the legendary site. Tomshardware was a shitshow back in the early 2000's.
I always wondered who Tom Shard was...
Don't forget Slashdot!!! That was in my rotation along with Anandtech, HardOCP, Tom's, etc.
Luke's laugh energises me ❤
I feel you about the junk car thing. Love having a beater that runs great and I don't have to stress a scratch or ding. I have known people that get a ding and theyre all of a sudden having a bad day because they need to take it in for a whole ass paint job and I am just not about that life.
I live in a developing country (Myanmar) in the middle of a civil war and economic crisis. I could make sure the hats to to people who could really use them if you guys were interested.
I already had one of the larger IFIXIT screwdriver kits, but still bought an LTT screwdriver because (1) the novelty of having some LTT merch (2) the functionality of a ratcheting screwdriver isn't diminished by owning the other set (3) I can us either bit set for either driver. I will likely end up buying the precision set or one of the Smaller IFIXIT sets as a more portable solution. Great products from both sides. Love the work you both do.
How can it be, that you are saying to you turned monetization off for LTT on YT, yet I am getting still hit with adverts every few minutes (external YT generated adversts) !???
Because YT just takes that as an indication that you don't want to make money from it, and so they play the ads anyway and pocket the profits. Same reason they play ads on non-partner channels.
Just use one of the fine YT player alternatives that was covered by LTT recently. There was a time when YT ads weren't annoying and I was not bothered by them, then they became utterly obnoxious so I now avoid them completely.
Laptops are one of those things where preferences are a huge factor. It's not like testing a CPU or GPU and saying that objectively it performs in X application with Y performance numbers. I love my FW13 especially after I upgraded to a Ryzen 7, but I recognize that it isn't for everyone. Most people aren't going to want to open it up and upgrade the board no matter how easy it is. Some people consider OLED panels a must have. Some people want more GPU power, touch screens, etc. Most people don't care that it works great in Linux. And sure the FW16 has more powerful GPU options but that is a very expensive laptop. That said, most would have to admit that it is a good thing that it can be disassembled and serviced with parts readily available, and that the entire industry should move in that direction. But at the same time it isn't everything for everyone.
It is a sad day that AnandTech is at the end while GARBAGE site like CPU UserBenchmarks is still alive.
Not sure but i think Userbenchmark is more or less sponsored by Intel. Not directly but… basically. Correct me if i am wrong.
@@flimermithrandir definitly not sponsored, just ran by shit stains that have the biggest rage boner for AMD
45:13 very good take, as a security professional I fully agree. I think despite the risks end to end encryption must exist. Privacy must exist. And yes it can be abused as much as an hammer or a gun or car used for a heist. We are not banning cars. We are not banning hammers. We should not consider banning end to end encryption.
The risk without end-to-end encryption is much higher than with encryption.
@@hw2508sure no arguing with that at all
@@stereodark I just wanted to say that I agree.
LTT Labs, I think one way to try and get traffic over to the site, have a short video that ranks a price point in the hardware space (on TH-cam) and then point the deep review back to the site. The analytics for TH-cam etc is a whole other beast that LTT is easily far more capable to speak to the feasibility of it with relation to the channels performance and health. i.e. it just may not pay out in the end to go that route.
"Always love some LG"
LG Wing already forgotten
I don't think any private communications should be moderated... we gave it up with phones and text messages... Imagine if the gov read all your mail and "moderated" it
Labs feels like a backend department feeding others but at the same time release their findings on their own. It should have a website with a searchable central database that contains all the testing results for the different components that just keeps getting updated and maintained and build up historical data and data of current components of all types who’s benchmarks can be translated to numbers.
@@fastfolky Linus literally showing it in the video
Uh.... you know that labs has such a website right?
@@creesch Nope, but I like that I have the exact same idea that LTT came up with. I only watched part of this video.
@@careem3463 Oops! Well, I only watched part of this video but that is pretty funny. I guess it's a good idea then.
It’s sad seeing these sites close. They helped me become an enigeer
Not surprising cause they weren't even making benchmarks in the last 4-5 years.
I thought you were talking about LTT for a second and I'm like what drugs are you doing and can I have some, and then I realized you're talking about the headline topic
I found it to be a hostile place. They also hired Peter Bright and my opinion is that there are a lot more within that culture. The problem with elitist communities is that you run out of people... Kind of glad to see some of these sites shutting down because I genuinely think they're harmful.
Everytime I fall asleep watching youtube I wake up to a 3+ hours podcast from linus without fail. You're welcome linus
1:47:00 Windows is not an AMD product. The chips were running perfectly fine on linux. Maybe blame Microsoft? It's not the first time their OS can't figure out how to use a new CPU archicture properly.
seemingly it's not only the new architecture, it seems all ryzen cpus (or at the very least zen4 and zen5) are profiting from the update.
that doesn't make it not MS' fault though.
BUT AMD seems to not have tested that strange way before, because their numbers in the review guides usually weren't off that much from what reviewers saw (in the same games). that being said the last few refreshed zen3 cpus had a similar discrepancy. and thus not having figured it out earlier is on AMD.
@@h.1699 Yeah, the procedural mistake to not run it the way a user would is fair. That one is on AMD. Although I would almost bet that they tested on Win 10 before this launch. In any case: With these new patches the enduser is now getting exactly the promised performance and owners of older generations are getting a free boost.
I think you kinda entirely missed the point that both anandtech and toms hardware belong to the same private equity firm and they are reducing headcount to increase money in their pocket. Nothing more to see here, it really isn't that hard to figure out.
I garantee you that private equity firm spent 0 seconds of headspace wondering about what anandtech was doing and if it was good to keep it going or not. These guys have excel spreadsheets and winner takes all, thats all there is to it. This 'mentality' will keep destroying outlets and companies all over the place until only the juicy cashcows are left, and maybe another generation restarts websites and doesn't cash out to them again.
Maybe you can quietly give the beanies to a homeless charity or similar, if they're needed there. You do some genuine good, without profiting financially or reputationally (if you do it quietly).
A beanie is costing a dollar or so (not the Ltt one , but a beanie as an item out there, that’s it’s cost)
Your option is almost wasteful, if not completely certainly 99% .
There are other ideas much nore productive and efficient
MiniPCs are such an interesting category right now. Beelink and Minisforum and releasing some of the coolest things in tech. A miniPC with a full PCIEx8 slot? Much more interesting than another 4090 or equivalent $1000-2000 GPU benchmark or whatever.
I wasn't even aware psu circuit existed till just now
I subbed'
Same here. I don’t recall them mentioning it, but I don't watch all the videos, and I often use timestamps to skip parts of the WAN show (they're too long otherwise).
It's quite possible that a lot of the discussion thus far has been in the floatplane pre-show (PSU Circuit shows up on FP although some folks wish it didn't) and that was mostly about the voice and other perceived short-comings.
Another great show that my TH-cam decided i should watch while i was sleeping. I got to awake from a dream. In the dream Linus was my boss and i was in a large business meeting at the LTT cloverdale location. Ended up watching the show anyways even after the dream :)
Hi Linus (and Dan and Luke). I wanted to maybe ask if you would consider revising your Secretlab sponsorship? It seems that, in the office chair world, they have a reputation for bad customer service and products that fall apart pretty quickly. I believe this would be beneficial to review. It always kinda bugged me that they are such a consistent sponsor with they way they compose themselves as a company.
Appreciate the content! Thanks
It seems? Office chair community? Bad products that fall apart?
Brother, I'm literally sitting in their chairs for 4 years now, upgraded to recent Titan as I love the superb quality. They are not as ergonomic as some premium office chairs, yes, but my back and bottom love it, and I'm sitting like 14 hours a day of work and gaming.
I've got one from 2020 and it's still the best chair I've used.
There is a thread on the forum for this. Sponsorships are Colton's department.
Spikes in productivity question 2.52.42:
A friend of mine used to smash out all his dev work in the first 48hours of the week and then drip feed it back to the team/boss to keep a consistent work load in the eyes of everyone else. he took the rest of the week off basically.
00:29 29 seconds in and Luke already having to hide his yawn 🤣🤣🤣
1000% with Luke about cars though. I don't want a new car, I just want a car I can use and that isn't going to bankrupt me every 2 weeks. Unfortunately it seems like I can only pick one of the two though.
Limit on pens? My mom used to be a checkout clerk at Walmart. She had literal bins full of pens. Customer writes a check and keeps the pen. Time 50 an hour and 10+ hours a day.

"What tech do you value the most?"
Somehow you end up talking about Luke-Linus to wife ratio.
Btw. Slap-a-mic needs to be a product name.
Take the warrantied back packs, repair them then sell them as repaired back packs with a very limited/ no warranty. This opens up the market to people that don't have the funds to get a back pack at full price
The logisitcs of that would cost more than the backback. Just shipping it back and forth is already gonna eat profits.
@@kodaxmax so what do you do when you warranty a backpack? Do you just send a new one? So that is a 100% loss. You must be able to assess the backpack before sending a new one right? so assess if it is cost effective to repair, if not don't waste the shipping. Surely returning the backpack would cost less than $50 and after repairing sell it for $100-200 depending on condition there may not be much profit if any but it keeps with Linus' principles of no waste.
@@justindavis3387 I obviously don't the exact numbers, but you can see how expensive shipping is in canada. It could easily run over $50 to ship back to warehouse and ship back repair/replacement. But thats not the only cost, theres also all the man hours involved.
That said you are right, you can just assess on a case by case basis, but then you need somone, or many somones full time handling and assessing these requests manually. As well as walking customers through sending photos or whatever.

10:35 The better question is: why doesn't Linus Tech Tips review Enermax power supplies if they exist? And that Acemagic Mini PC from before is not that unknown here in europe.
I guess it's more of a regional thing regarding mini pcs. They seem to be more popular here in Europe? Likely due to people living in cramped apartments.
@@PaperReaper I think is even more because of power saving. You can have your huge pc for gaming and the small mini pc for daily web browsing or so.

I personally quit reading AnandTech when Andrei F. left… he had the best CPU deep dives and was early in recognizing the sea change that Apple was bringing with ARM processors back with the 64 bit A7 in the iPhone 5S.

too early for timestamp guy : /
so frustrating that no one at LMG does it themselves because sometimes hours after the vod goes up its still not here and usually it just means I won't watch since it doesn't come in my feed again after I leave it & I'm not gonna skim through the vid to figure out what I do or don't want to listen to :/
@@kqelinn I also think it’s super frustrating but they talked about why that is in a previous show.

It's wierd, just today I was thinking about ASUS and thought whatever happened to LTT not taking their sponsorship.
Did ASUS just accept it as a reality and do nothing to improve?
