Hello my friends. Yes, it has not been a very good day today. Nope, no, I have not had a particularly good day.
Oh, because we're late.
Because we're late? Yes, that's a factor.
Oh yeah, the other one.
But also the bit where Amazon terminated our affiliate account. That also had something to do with it.
So, you know what? I'm not going to spend a lot of time talking about that on the show today. I'll just do a quick thing right now.
Basically, we violated the terms of service. There were a couple of things that I didn't realize where I interpreted incorrectly.
And in a nutshell, Amazon laid the smack down on that and has permanently banned our account.
Not permanently, but they have banned our account until such time as all of the videos that reference Amazon and creating a bookmark to their site with our link.
Okay, that part. I don't say that, so none of my videos have to go away.
Sure. Well, whatever. All of the videos that contain that reference must be removed from the channel.
No big deal.
And then we can reapply.
And we still get to keep Scrapyard Wars, right?
Not they will reinstate our account. Then we can reapply for an account.
I was like, so basically, no then.
Alright, so we're already kind of scratching our heads going, well gee, how much were we really making on Amazon Affiliates?
Maybe we could call out something else at the end of the video or maybe we can, I don't know,
maybe Amazon could talk to us and we could figure out some kind of a solution where hey, how about we fix it moving forward and we get a new tracker link or something like that.
But nope, nope, nope, that's dead.
The funniest, the greatest irony here actually that I personally really appreciated. I love irony.
I was telling this to Brandon the other day. I was climbing a ladder in the middle of our late night shoot.
An irony ladder?
No, no, no.
It's made out of iron.
No, aluminum actually, but very nice. I like it. Good thinking.
Thank you.
So I was climbing a ladder and I was putting up the last sheet of paper on the two and a half storey windows with this ladder propped actually at just above the midway point on something and actually not against anything on the top.
And I was like, well, if I'm going to die, this is going to be the one and I would like for the last piece of paper to be the one that I die on because I appreciate irony.
I do. I love irony.
If I'm going to die, I'd like for it to be in an ironic way.
So anyway, if my Amazon affiliate account is going to be terminated, I do appreciate that it's in an ironic way.
And already recorded coming out very soon is a video called How Does Linus Media Group Make Money?
Honest Answers Episode 2, much of which has been rendered completely invalid by the recent ruling of Amazon Associates specialist team who has decided that we no longer make money using Amazon Associates.
Junko, it's not prerecorded.
So there you have it.
I at least appreciate the irony of the situation.
You know, if it all goes to hell, we can just start Twitch streaming all the time.
I've heard it's pretty good money.
We'll just create like a loose affiliation of Twitch streamers.
No, we should just get like...
We have the internet connection for it.
I actually don't really mind this idea.
We should just get every piece of hardware that like anyone releases and just hold it and then for the whole stream, topdonator just gets to pick what we build next.
And we just build the computer, show them the computer, benchmark whatever games they want to benchmark, and then the next topdonator gets to pick our next build.
We build it, we benchmark it for them.
They can see what it looks like.
We can cable manage it all.
That sounds horrifyingly profitable.
We can cable manage it all.
We can benchmark all the games that they would want to say.
They can go like, okay, I've got this build idea.
It's got all this hardware in it from all these people with this case, all that kind of stuff.
We can give them their thermals.
We can give them their power draw.
We can give them the performance in the games that they want to play.
And basically by donating like 50 bucks, they would effectively get an unparalleled consultation on the best rig, probably saving 50 bucks in the process.
It's actually kind of brilliant, but Matthew underscore TG brings up an excellent point.
You'd have to have a proper schedule to do Twitch streaming and actually show up on time rip.
Yeah, but like, I mean, my stream works every time.
So maybe if I'm managing.
I did replace the power supply in the stream PC.
That's actually what I was doing before we started today because the system hard locked right before we were supposed to go live today.
And I was just like, you know what? I have replaced every component in this system except the power supply, which I assumed was fine because it's a be quiet, dark power pro 850 watt 80 plus titanium.
Like it's a completely overkill and actually excellent power supply.
And so I threw in some test bench one that is known good.
And the system hasn't been behaving strangely.
No, it actually it notably feels better than I'm.
I'm not guaranteeing it good yet because I think it's specific things, but people are like, I would watch the shit out of that.
Yeah, in the Twitch chat slowly started to become like kind of a better idea as I would.
Oh, no.
All right. Well, at any rate, we have some great topics for you guys today on the actual land show, not the land show where we just build computers.
Microsoft makes a bold move into helping server the marijuana business.
Oh, yes.
Yes.
Yes.
It's a, you know, they're stirring the pot.
I guess that's like causing controversy.
Oh.
Anyway, but how does that relate?
Shut up.
Overwatch takes the number one.
They're lighting the fire.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They're lighting the fire under their competitors who are not as progressive.
They're I'm sure we could come up with other things.
They're they're that's just straight up a reference.
That's that doesn't refer to anything.
All right.
Overwatch takes the number one spot from League of Legends in Korean PC Internet cafes.
AKA, what are they called?
Bangs.
Bangs.
Bangs.
I think it's bong.
I could totally be wrong.
It's not great either.
If it helps at all.
Yeah.
I GMA.
Oh, I don't know what that is.
I believe it means.
Thank you, sir.
Oh, that's cool.
MSI and Asus allegedly send VGA or video card review samples with higher clock speeds than
retail with like custom.
Have a good day.
Well, that's cool.
No, wait.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Huh?
There it is.
Yes.
And smaller, like processor chips may rely on vacuum tube technology, which is like the
last thing I would have expected to be on the end of that sentence.
But sure, Microsoft is weeding out the competition.
Oh, that's good.
That one's good.
What else we got?
No, no one's going to really, really.
Oh, almost no one was after it.
There's just a whole lot of like hashtag vape nation to which all I have to say is this.
Whoa, that's an unexpected sponsor.
We haven't talked about this for a while.
Did Nick make this, this splash page?
I don't know.
Cause this is what they're supposed to look like.
Last time we talked about discord, it didn't go over very well.
People didn't like it.
So, so Nick made the sponsor page.
Is that, is that what that has to do with?
No, no, no.
I was just, cause you said we haven't talked about them in a while.
Last time we talked to them about the cribs video.
Cause that was your cribs video.
I think everyone thought it was a vape nation video.
Cause apparently everyone's too young to remember cribs.
Really?
So like all the, I made one off hand reference by spelling it the wrong way with my hands
for vape nation as a joke.
Everyone thought that was like the whole point of the video.
Really?
It was cribs.
It was not vape nation.
You know what the funny thing about that is, is I'm too old to really know what vape nation
is.
Whereas like cribs, cribs is like, yeah, yeah.
Well I remember not watching it cause it was super.
Yeah.
But like you knew what it was.
Everyone knew what it was.
Everyone knew.
It's like, it's like grave digger.
Even if you have no idea what a monster truck is, the odds that you've encountered grave
digger at some point is actually pretty good or like, you know, Michael Jordan.
It's like, even if you don't care about basketball at all, you know who that guy is.
It's like MTV cribs.
If you don't care about bad reality television programming, you probably still know what
it is.
And there's so many references to cribs.
I think I literally said crib for one.
The way like the way, the way Burkle filmed it was like awesome with like the crazy camera
angles, like the, the pulling the camera in and out and like all this crazy stuff.
He made sure that I said like the lingo that was set on there commonly.
Like we got this installed.
Let me guess, Burkle legit watched cribs?
Like is it?
No, he had, he had filmed his friends doing a spoof of it or something.
Ah, I see.
So his friend had done a bunch of research and stuff.
So we were effectively doing a spoof of a spoof.
Yeah.
Like 10 years late.
Yep.
And people didn't get the reference.
No one got it.
Well there you go.
I guess so.
It also wasn't great.
I was supposed to this and you are correct, but then no one would have been able to film
it properly.
Right.
So we weren't really sure how to.
As much as Burkle should have hosted it, Luke shouldn't have filmed it.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yes.
Very much true.
All right.
So this is some big news.
Our original article here is from a, let's go with the wall street journal article.
Are you posting this in the chat?
Yep.
I don't think we did that last week.
It is Microsoft to acquire LinkedIn for 26.2 billion.
So how this affects one of our sponsors today, um, who was actually acquired by LinkedIn
this year or late last year, late last year, I think Linda.com, um, probably very little
according to Microsoft.
So they've said that LinkedIn will pretty much continue to operate as a, as an, uh,
mostly independent company.
They're going to give them their head, so to speak, um, horse lingo, lingo talk.
And uh, yeah, blah, blah, blah.
LinkedIn team has grown a fantastic business centered on connecting the world's professionals.
Microsoft CEO sat down and it all outside and impressively done that together.
We can accelerate the growth of LinkedIn as well as Microsoft office 365 and dynamics
as we seek to empower every person and organization on the planet.
So there you have it.
The funny thing to me about Microsoft buying a social network is that Microsoft in the,
in the early days, like the best one had the, had the best, had the best online connect
interconnected social platform and completely squandered it.
Like do you remember those piss poor MSN profiles that you could create?
Oh yeah.
There were like websites kind of, kind of like they had an opportunity to take that.
They had pretty much a monopoly on email.
So any, everyone, everyone in their dog had a hotmail or an Adam sn.com account and all
this like data mining crap that guys like Facebook and Google have come in and captured.
Microsoft had an opportunity to develop as they went or just sit on Asford, however long
and acquire LinkedIn for 26 billion.
Do you think you're going to have to have an outlook login for LinkedIn?
Yeah.
Really?
That was the first thing I thought of when I saw that.
Is there a little bit aggressive about trying to get people to do like outlook logins and
whatnot for their stuff?
Hmm.
That's very interesting.
You know, I actually have an outlook login for, um, for our office 365 accounts.
But have you noticed that it's like broken?
It's like at our domain dot on microsoft.com and it's separate from my other outlook logins
that I can't.
It gave me one for mine and it's the same broken mess.
Yeah.
And I have to look up the source email every time I need to log in cause I don't remember
what it is.
I've spent like a couple of emails.
I've a couple of emails.
I've spent a couple of emails, which is now a unit of time.
Um, we're like ammo.
We've got 10 emails today.
I spent them right.
Let's get through a couple here.
These bits are going to run out if we send too many emails.
Um, I've spent like a couple hours on a couple of occasions trying to figure out how to fix
it cause there's like a wizard, but the wizard just doesn't work at all.
Like somehow I ended up on like Azure or something like, Oh wow.
What is this?
I just want it to be up my domain.
Just forget it.
They're weird about the email stuff.
So how much do you wish you'd invested in LinkedIn at this point?
It was approved at 50% above the current market value for LinkedIn shares.
Sick.
So the transaction was unanimously unanimously approved by the board of directors of both
LinkedIn and Microsoft and it's expected to close this calendar year.
Tell me something.
Do you see, and we should, we should, we should straw pull this cause I want to hear from
from you guys.
Do you see a way that your engagement on LinkedIn could somehow affect your decision?
I know where you're going.
No, I don't.
I think LinkedIn is just this stupid, super weird kind of circle jerk.
So every social media platform basically, but in like a uniquely weird way where like
people feel obligated to have an account.
You know what I mean?
It's not, it's not like Facebook where they're like, ah, I'm on there cause like, like there's
certain friends or like a specific group.
Like I had two groups on Facebook that I care about.
One of them is a group that a bunch of my friends have where we just link music to each
other.
Right.
And it's just basically a jukebox now.
Yep.
Okay.
And then the other group is like a gaming group of friends that I have.
Sure.
That's why I still have my Facebook.
A lot of people have like a reason or two to still have it.
Like it's just like, just most people just feel like they should.
Well because it's your, it's like it's your resume.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like I actually, it's funny, I didn't create a LinkedIn until I was thinking about leaving
CIX.
The reason I should probably have one is so I can show off my little gamification thing.
I did.
I did the Coursera course and got gamification certified and was like, well I can put it
there.
I don't think I've updated it since then.
I was just like, man, there we go.
I guess another thing I'd be really curious to hear about because to a greater extent
an employer, how an employer would use it.
Um, no, no.
I don't know who all has an account because to a greater extent than something like Snapchat
or Instagram or Twitter, I can see a reason for pretty much everyone in their dog to have
one even if it's just because they kind of feel like they have to like, yeah, Facebook's
kind of like that to me where even before I had other social media platforms that I
used to promote the YouTube videos, cause quite, quite frankly, I'm not much of a, a,
a natural social media interact or like I like.
Talking to you guys.
But if I could do that in some other way, then I would prefer that.
Like just spontaneously posting the, the, the meal that I'm about to eat or the product
that I'm working on is not something that comes naturally.
It's something that I kind of do when I'm not that busy.
Yeah.
It's really weird.
Like I don't.
Yeah.
But even before I did all that stuff, even before it was kind of my job, I had a Facebook
account and I believe I had my LinkedIn account.
Okay.
So those are the ones that are just, you kind of have to have it cause everyone, everyone
has it.
At least from my perspective.
I don't think I had a LinkedIn account until the Coursera thing for gamification.
I might've just like made one so that someone didn't steal my name or something.
Right.
Or my login handle or whatever.
I often do that with a lot of different things.
I sure wish I had done that on a lot of things.
Yeah.
Especially like now that I'm a little bit more of a prominent internet personality.
Gamer tags dude.
I will just snatch it up.
I get tweets all the time, Hey, I was playing a game with you the other night.
So I was out of the country the other night, super forgot my laptop and had no internet.
So no, you weren't.
No, you weren't.
I have seen a Linus tech with the little bunny thing really in a game that I have played.
What game?
I think it was counter-strike.
It was not you.
Oh, okay.
I know it wasn't.
Okay.
Have you on my thing?
Right.
Because I didn't know that it was me.
Oh really?
Oh, I see.
Yeah.
So I was like, uh, this is weird.
Cause I know that stuff.
I know that's not actually Linus, but he doesn't know that this is me at all.
So this is a very weird situation.
So Microsoft is, um, is hoping to kind of bring it all together, but it looks like most
of you would not have LinkedIn effect or inclination to use office 365 or Microsoft cloud services.
I spelled that wrong.
And I'm also going to have a look at how many of you actually have LinkedIn accounts?
Whoa, that was not expected.
I did not see that one coming age range though.
So are you guys, I mean, okay, well we'll go to, we'll go to Twitch chat for this just
cause I don't want to do a whole formal straw poll.
We spent a lot of time on this topic already, but is this something that you, you don't
have one because you feel too young for it or what exactly is the, what exactly is the
deal here?
Um, I'm going to go ahead and let Twitch chat kind of got people saying it's creepy.
Got other people saying, get a job.
You darn kids.
Yeah.
I've got a lot of you just saying, yeah, you're, you're young and don't feel like you need
one.
A lot of people posting their ages, um, apparently they haven't gone to hiding your personal
information on the internet school.
I mean, that's okay.
I mean the likelihood of someone screen scraping all of this information and tying it back
to your account and, and doxing you is very low and the odds of you actually being honest
about it watching 67,000 years old.
Okay.
That's cool.
That's, that's good.
Um, although on that subject, I actually don't know if this is in our topics for this week,
but um, there was a, I was reading an article about a, um, shoot, you know what, why don't
you take the next one and I'll see if I can find this cause it was, it was really interesting.
I'm going to jump a fair amount then all the way down to Overwatch taking the number one
spot from league of legends in Korean PC Bong.
Hopefully I'm saying that correctly.
I'm going to post the article in the chat, which you're almost definitely not going to
be able to read.
Some of you will be able to, but not that many considering it is super not in English.
Um, one of the main reasons why I find this interesting before I even go into the article
at all, which I'm pretty sure is just going to say that it is now being played more than
league of legends is that this is great.
I love this so much.
My personal opinion on Overwatch as some people have seen on Twitter is that it's kinda okay
and that the only reason why I actually care about it is that my friends play the game
itself.
I find rather uninteresting and I actually technically prefer team fortress.
Um, but this is a full price game that isn't free to play.
It has some microtransactions, but it's an extremely small part of the game.
League of legends is a free to play game that is skins are a really big deal and you can't
get them for free.
In Overwatch you can get the skins for free for sure.
You can just get more of them if you pay some money.
It's kind of cool to see a game that you just have to buy and doesn't rely on this other
stuff working well because hopefully more of those will happen.
Well you'll have to elaborate on that.
I mean, why do you care about non free to play games being popular?
I find that a lot of free to play games are low quality and push extremely hard to try
to form game mechanics around the idea of you spending money.
I'm not saying league of legends does that.
League of legends is actually one of the lowest offenders in terms of free to play games at
all which is great.
They're doing great.
And I would be way more happy if Overwatch beat anyone else because I don't feel like
league of legends is being that aggressive with it.
But yeah, I don't know.
I'm just happy that a paid game is working so well because usually paid games are just
built around being good games so that more people buy them instead of being addictive
games so that more people pay micro transaction fees.
I don't think there's actually a ton to add from the article itself.
Overwatch took the spot by 0.3% of total play time country wide.
So it's narrow.
And it's like a super hot new title.
Just kind of throwing that out there.
It's sort of like it's the sexy new girlfriend or boyfriend.
The infatuation is strong.
Like pretty much everyone I know.
Oh!
Super important note.
Did you add this?
Or did someone else add this?
Nick added it.
Apparently you can play for free in a lot of the PC bangs.
So they probably have accounts tied to the computers.
Which is a huge reason that more people would be playing it.
Maybe not quite as cool as I thought.
But given the choice to play one free game versus another free game, people are choosing
to play Overwatch instead.
When I was in Taiwan, people were playing with their own accounts.
And like a huge amount of people were playing Overwatch there.
To the point where they had like a big mural on the internet cafe sign.
If you want to see a super cool video on that coming soon, I'm not going to say when.
Yeah, I actually don't know exactly when.
I do.
I just want to clarify on how the PC bangs have been for Overwatch, apparently you just
signed in with Battle.net and it's on your account that you can just play it from.
Ah, okay.
So it's not like there's an account that's tied to the computer.
That's very cool.
They can't hear you so we should probably be summarizing.
Or you can just come over here and speak directly into the microphone.
He gave us a finger so I guess we're explaining it.
So apparently you can log into your own account so that you have your own name and your own
friends list and all that kind of stuff.
But the purchase of Overwatch is somehow tied to the PC bang so you can play for free which
is cool.
Hopefully League of Legends is more popular again as of more recent stats.
But it's still noteworthy given that this is the first time it's happened in 4 years
that anything has overtaken League of Legends.
Essentially what happens is the PC bangs work out a deal with Blizzard where they're like
oh yeah we're just going to let everyone use the game.
And they pay a lump sum to Blizzard and then people pay hourly to use it on their own account.
Okay so Gizmodo, I'll go ahead and post this in the chat I'm already ready, Gizmodo says
Facebook will start tracking which stores you walk into.
Awesome.
Awesome?
The data, well awesome for Facebook.
Oh okay.
The data mining is strong with this one.
Facebook wants to show advertisers that their ads make you visit their physical stores and
buy their stuff.
So to do this they'll use the phone's location services to track whether people actually
walk into a store after seeing an ad.
This is interesting because now that Facebook has said that they plan to do this I have
to assume that they already know that the result is going to be a positive one or they
probably wouldn't have brought it up so that no one asks them about it.
So you're thinking they already did it?
Oh come on, Facebook takes like probably 10-15% off of my daily battery life.
It's doing something and it sure as hell isn't doing anything with me actually opening the
app.
Facebook is intense.
So it's called the local awareness feature and businesses can include a map with their
ad to show users where the closest store is in case the user wants something immediately.
So the advertising business won't be able to see you individually, they'll just be able
to match visits with the number of people that saw their ad.
So early results from the feature have been good for businesses apparently.
French retailer E. Leclerc says it's reached 1.5 million people within 10km.
12% of clicks led to a visit within a week.
So ok but the metric I want to see is the foot traffic change.
Not bad.
Right because they might have gone anyway.
Yeah I want to see the increased amount of foot traffic that happened because of this.
That's the only metric that really matters there.
Well I don't even know what E. Leclerc is because if it's like a grocery store then
the odds of you going to a grocery store within a week are pretty good.
Let's have a look at what this is.
So the sports gear?
Why is there an ad for their own?
Oh no they have TV.
Wait what?
Oh maybe no I think they're a sponsor.
Enter the competition.
No I don't want to enter the competition.
What do they do?
They sell Nest tea.
So are they just like a big Walmart-y kind of thing?
I don't know.
Online store?
High tech?
Wine?
They have everything.
It's a supermarket.
Ok so it's a supermarket.
Yeah a bunch of people are saying it's a supermarket.
So basically a marketer at a supermarket thinks it's interesting that that percentage of
people who clicked on the ad went to a store.
I mean this is kind of a correlation causation argument don't you think?
I would argue that if you clicked on a coupon or something for E. Leclerc the odds were
excellent that you were already planning a trip there because it's a grocery store and
you're just taking advantage of a deal.
I'll bounce back in one second but I seriously think that's why I want to see the foot traffic
numbers.
Right.
Like I don't really care about your clicks.
How many people actually made it into the store because that's what matters to me if
I'm a store owner.
Right.
Interesting.
I mean these guys are advertising in huge volume.
12% of clicks so 180,000 led to a visit within a week so 12% of 180,000 is what?
Almost 20,000 people.
Almost 20,000 visits based on your Facebook app tracking where you're going.
That is some creepy stuff right there.
I am not a huge fan of this.
To be very clear when I said that's cool at the beginning I meant that's cool in terms
of that is a very interesting use of technology and that is very very sort of clever advertising
not that's cool I want my Facebook app tracking me because quite honestly the only reason
I even have Facebook installed on my phone is because Facebook has been burying any content
that's not posted natively to their platform.
So for example if I sent out a tweet like oh this stormtrooper keychain doodad is so
cool go check it out on Amazon excuse me not Amazon somewhere else I guess go check it
out wherever else if I posted that to Twitter the way I had it set up in the past is I would
just have that tweet waterfall to the Facebook page.
Well Facebook actually started actively blocking the water falling of our YouTube video posts
because it was working and then stopped so now we have to manually post video releases
there and what I realized they've been doing once I started posting stuff natively to Facebook
is they've been burying anything that waterfall from another platform so you can actually
see right on every Facebook post what the reach is and you can obviously see publicly
visible data like likes and comments and I started posting stuff that I just I mean don't
take this the wrong way I mean you know keep hitting that like button on Facebook or commenting
or whatever but like I was posting stuff that I really didn't think was very interesting
on on Facebook like here what's what's a good example I posted like a picture of a graphics
card yeah here we go a picture of an EVGA graphics card last night less than 24 hours
ago that reached 240,000 people has 9.2 thousand likes 166 shares and 372 comments I mean I
will give it to Facebook when they decide to push your content to people apparently
either they're like really like doing it or other platforms are burying content to a much
greater degree than I originally anticipated because we've only got what is it 342,000
likes on the Facebook page so to get that many is insane so to have a reach of 250,000
I mean that's like us publishing every single YouTube video we publish getting 2 million
views again like one and a half million people can just scroll past it and not even look
at it and it counts does it yeah okay so that's why the video views count on Facebook is so
insane because it starts auto playing when you scroll by but that still tells us something
really interesting and that's that unlike Twitter you know apparently 70% of our Facebook
likes a haven't like muted us and B are actually getting the post and the same same thing goes
for YouTube subscriptions there is no way and you know our game theorists did a great
video on this there is no way that YouTube actually pushes every one of your videos to
every one of your subscribers they actually don't do it you don't get our videos if I
recall correctly I like every once in a while I'll notice that I haven't gotten them in
forever so I'll go and just like auto play some playlists and then we'll start to pop
up again yeah so there you go if you're not watching regularly they did they just kind
of stopped the worst is when I'll have a video playing and like I'll leave work and forget
about it take my headphones off it's still playing leave work forget about it come back
in on like Monday and it's just still playing videos from whoever and now all my subscription
boxes are just solidly them that would be a really fun video like a rabbit hole style
video like exploring the YouTube rabbit hole like do different things and just see how
it reacts because we would never be able to actually figure it out no you should do nothing
so we should leave YouTube videos playing watch next for like a week oh or like a month
and like we should do it on like we could create a bunch of VMs so we could actually
do it on like 20 computers at the same time and we could we should start them all on the
same video like 10 seconds apart and then see where they all end up how far how deep
does the YouTube rabbit logo like what it's what it is now suggesting to you and stuff
yeah should we also on the VMs should we VPN them out so they're in different geographical
locations I don't think so I think we try that with like one or two just yes yeah yeah
we should have a couple be from so we should VPN most of them to America or something and
then we should do like a couple in Canada a couple in Great Britain or something like
that and like a couple in Australia and I want to see I want to see where they end up
I bet this could be like a twitch plays Pokemon type thing if it wasn't for all the copyright
infringement like if you just had a yeah all the copyright but if you had a twitch channel
that just played the rabbit hole I bet that would go like I bet people would be interested
in that where's where's twitch chat's freaking out they're like they're like do it I like
do it do it do it like it do you want do you want to do it sure yeah okay alright yeah
let's let's do it I am I am super curious because there is no way that the algorithm
sends them all to the same place it's so experimental like it's it's constantly learning so you
know oh man I can't even imagine some of the weird stuff some of them will have been watching
by the time we get back to it I like it so like how do we film this though do we do like
updates along the way or do we just like personally take notes along the way and then do a recap
video so we have a machine if you can only tie it up for like a week I have a 44 core
machine so we could actually probably screen cap this is such a like I have a 44 core like
you can just say that I don't know sorry keep going so you can do job catches me you could
do 44 VMs each running a 2.2 gigahertz broadwell core core i7 yeah with hyper threading okay
you can do 44 machines and if you can only tie it up for like a week because I'm going
to roll it out as like a render server at some point I'm actually a bench I'm stress
testing it now then good then go ham go ham because John from lime tech can help you clone
the VM so that you don't even use up extra storage I could even put like 15 or 20 of
them on the standard experiment yeah and then try some weird stuff with yeah start start
on like a start on a Linus tech tips video and because it's a reasonably powerful core
you could set up exploit on all of them and you could actually record the entire thing
because it's an unread server so we could fill it with all the storage a lot 44 computers
constantly capturing their screen for a week yes how much store should be fine we could
record a pretty little bit rate I don't think it's a big deal like 720 720 p like two megabit
something or yeah something like that yeah should be fine so 88 megabit for a week yeah
I mean that's only uh you know yeah what yeah yeah it's fine it's fine it's fine eight megabytes
per second yeah it should be it's a lot yeah I like it I like it I like it no 88 no 88
oh yes yes yes yes 88 megabytes oh yeah yeah yeah should be fine should be fine yeah we've
got those uh we've got those four terabyte ssd's so those will those will bear the brunt
of it for a little while we're gonna build the most ridiculous like youtube watching
machine yeah will we be violating youtube's terms of service are you allowed to not watch
I mean come on it's it's in the name of science it's not technically a bot yeah it's actually
legitimately someone will sit and they will click and it's up to youtube what they do
from there it's not our fault does it ever will it stop I don't think it stops we'll
find out we'll find out we'll report back to you it needs to like keep the most moving
on all of them to write a script to keep the most moving is that's a bot but it's not interacting
with the window I'm not saying clicking or anything just keep the most moving I see so
it could just click the start menu periodically probably yeah yeah okay okay well we'll uh
we won't do any of that totally not at all um okay smaller chips moving forward that
is to say processors oh you beat me to it I had it ready rat bastard original article
here from the new york times may depend on this is such a great uh this is such a great
like um I actually don't know where they put it in the article nope no it looks like someone
was just the the SEO guy over at the new york times was just having fun uh smaller chips
may depend on technology from grandma's radio when the actual headline is smaller chips
may depend on vacuum tube technology so the the the url is just kind of funny the url
is amazing that's pretty cool um some writer was like no one's ever gonna see this uh-huh
so the silicon transistor is a tiny switch that is basically the fundamental building
lock of modern microelectronics um and they've been getting smaller and smaller and smaller
and smaller until they've gotten to the point where they they can't figure out what substrates
to put them on and they can't figure out how to cram them any closer together without having
to deal with like electron migration and and they just just plain old can't build them
any smaller it's becoming like a very much a problem yeah more Moore's law I mean look
at intel they were like tick tock until the end of time now it's like tick dee tock it's
like a but even with Moore's law the idea isn't that you do the exact same thing forever
the idea is you innovate and change what you're doing but the performance metrics and whatnot
increase well Moore's law strictly speaking like original Moore's law was that the transistor
density would double okay yeah so so yeah I guess it is totally you do this so if you
find ways to improve performance that involve like farting on every chip on its way out
of the factory if that somehow unicorn farts or something then that's still maintaining
the performance reflect every color of the rainbow yeah of the unicorn fart yeah so it
makes it like a quantum chip because yeah you don't necessarily know which it can have
any state within the entire spectrum of light yeah which would that's actually very cool
yeah good thought if only we could find a unicorn to test it yes so anyway smaller chips
may see the silicon transistor replaced by the vacuum tube which is like so ass backwards
because the other version of that like the vacuum tube being replaced by the transistors
happened in 19 in the 1970s so like it happening again and the other way I don't know the size
of these things is where is it like one millionth the size of original vacuum tubes or something
yeah so this is there's actually a lot of notes on this article because Colton and Nick
know that we're not particularly sciency so they try and help us so it's the nano fabrication
group at Caltech that's researching these ultra small fabricated circuits that function
like vacuum tubes as a candidate to replace the transistor none of this is set in stone
the ultra small means something to the effect of one millionth the size of old vacuum tubes
the research is being financed by Boeing and the researchers have also explored using vacuum
tubes for flat panel displays in that are not these researchers researchers also explored
using them for flat panel displays in the 1990s though LCD technology ended up being
both cheaper and more effective in that case so here's the kind of like the the counter
intuitive brain explosion how it works because the problem with modern transistors is that
the smaller they get the more they leak electrons so in modern chips as much as half of the
power consumed is being lost to electrons leaking from transistors that are only dozens
of atoms wide wasting energy and generating heat which heat by the way causes these transistors
to eventually fail speeding up the process of electron migration so these miniature vacuum
tube switches use a mechanism that causes leak use the mechanism that causes leakage
in transistors known as quantum tunneling to switch on and off the flow of electrons
without leakage yes which is like the whole point so they would use less power and work
faster than today's transistor based chips they can be yeah to be clear vacuum tubes
are not the only thing that could possibly replace the modern transistors carbon nanotubes
yeah which we hear a lot about but yeah see very little yes have been hearing a lot about
for a very long time yes so hopefully something actually happens with them but yeah this is
just another one of those attempts to solve the problem so to be clear how close are we
to being up against the wall well once the industry shrinks below 10 nanometers which
by the way we're as low as 14 nanometer on intel's latest process so once the industry
gets below 10 nanometers silicon becomes much more unpredictable doing weird stuff like
emitting light so that's not ideal and a new solution will be needed yeah this is interesting
so the original article here is from usa today microsoft makes a bold move into helping serve
the marijuana business i think this is super smart does this have to do with their washington
headquarters that's kind of funny maybe the reason why i think this is super smart is
because canada is currently trying to make it officially legal um and is planning for
that in like 2017 or whatever we've seen states like colorado be able to do amazing things
with the taxable money that they've gotten off of the sale of this stuff uh like actually
really amazing things considering they've made millions and millions of dollars off
of it which is great so it's kind of happening it being legalized is kind of happening so
microsoft getting behind it and the server side of things is great they're doing that
not by like necessarily making anything but they're allowing a company called kind at
least i think that's a shortened version of the kind financial to use their azure service
for their what is it seed to sale program which tracks plants the all the way through
the process which is good because it's a highly regulated government thing as it probably
should be yeah and i mean that's one of the things about pot um now i slang term i've
had a lot i've actually had a lot of people speculate i just like put fingers over top
of other fingers and was like yeah in american sign language it's two r's facing each other
is it yep nice yeah okay thank you for that um so two lions i've seen a lot of speculation
online uh as to whether or not i hashtag 420 blaze it i'm going to actually acknowledge
it for the first time ever i don't smoke pot i never have either i get lots of comments
with that too because i have kind of droopy eyes yeah so everyone just no i don't i look
tired because i run my own business and my eyes are red because i'm up late running my
own business and so a lot of people figure that that has to do with the marriage of wanna
it actually isn't um the last thing i need is to be slightly less alert at any point
during the day because i have two almost three children now and i have stuff to do i do so
the legalization and taxation though so i again i'm taking a stance on something that
i normally don't get involved in i fully support the legalization of it because of a couple
of reasons number one is i have to pay a toll to cross the bridge into the city now because
our government doesn't have enough money because they're busy letting the hell's angels take
all the revenue for marijuana sales thank you for that and you're clearly not stopping
it from happening so you might as well make money and number two is i would really like
for marijuana to be safer for the people who are using it right now marijuana is not a
drug that is and you know what you can debate this all day but it's not a drug that is in
the grand scheme of things particularly dangerous especially when compared to other completely
legal substances like alcohol and when you're buying it from like super sketchy dudes they
could lace it with whatever and it can be a dangerous process and that's where marijuana
can get extraordinarily dangerous and can be used as a gateway drug so to speak to get
people hooked on much much harder substances something that while i haven't personally
experienced i've had people that are very close to me personally experienced and is
a super huge bummer so having it be available legally and getting the taxation revenue as
well as making it safer for people who are quite frankly obviously going to do it anyway
yeah it's not the end of the world for me you're really losing that war um not you like
so there you have it i have officially taken a stance on it i don't use it i never have
i don't intend to but i don't care if other people use it because i personally don't think
there's anything you can do to stop them anyhow and give the government that tax money that's
the main like oh my god colorado made so much off of that that's fantastic fill some holes
in some roads take some tolls away yeah take my toll on my education how much that bridge
costs across it's like 350 each way no it cost me seven dollars to go to ikea not to
mention the like 500 that you spend every time you go to ikea because how does it happen
it just does it just does yeah what if ikea had tolls um in order to go backwards through
the story you have to like spend money well it's kind of like that because you can't get
out of the store i know that's what i mean though or like if you go from one section
to the next section without spending like 15 minutes there you get a toll so if you
like spend long enough in each section of the store you can go through it for free or
if you spend even longer you get a bonus of free meatballs the number of people like listening
to me but not understanding me is unbelievable omg it's not a gateway drug it sure as hell
is if it's laced with something else that you become physically dependent on if you
put something hyper addictive on top of the weed or whatever that clearly not exactly
how the process works but yeah you i don't know these things um you would then become
addicted to that and need that and then yeah and you can to be very clear and this is something
a lot of people don't know you can be addicted to a substance never having knowingly consumed
it or even in fact never having consumed it babies can be born addicted to heroin yeah
and by addicted that doesn't mean they use it that means that they are physically dependent
on it and they will undergo withdrawal symptoms if they were to get some small taste of it
and then not have it anymore instantly because they already have a physical dependency yeah
so it's it's we're talking about jerk bag drug dealers lacing things in order to hook
up clients that they can make money on for the rest of that clients life on our drugs
yeah um alright so let's talk about uh let's talk about ways of making money on that subject
that i personally uh don't really agree with uh let's do the uh the internet creators guild
so i'm on it i would call myself as big a fan of hank green and the green brothers in
general that i could be without watching their content like i've probably only watched you
could count on one hand the number of videos i've watched from them but i respect them
a lot as internet entrepreneurs as content creators as people who have taken making youtube
videos and turned it into not just a bigger business because it's not just about that
but into into a viable career for the people around them it's something i admire it's something
i respect it's something i aspire to do for myself um and for the people around me like
this guy hello um i think that being an online content creator is a real job and i like to
be the proof of it not just for myself but for others have you noticed it's getting notably
less weird to tell people what you do yep at least people have heard of youtube three
years even like huge changes so i never even used to tell people the youtube part of my
job i used to try to hide it yeah and now when i try to hide it by saying uh i work
for a media creation company and they eventually dig a little bit further and i say youtube
it's not like the super weird response anymore so with my respect for the green brothers
um and hank in particular someone in the chat sorry in my head is like thank god linus thinks
his own job is a real job that was a close one there um i think this is an ugly blatant
cash grab i think that the internet creators guild post from hank green announcing it two
days ago um reads like um like a like a market analysis business case study uh determining
the feasibility of this as a way to make a profit um maybe i am completely backwards
because for the most part uh hank's intentions seem pretty good he seems to have in the past
been pretty pro content creator but i can't think of a reason for anything that the internet
creators guild proposes to do to cost money um and this all reads like like figuring out
like it's like an it's like a spreadsheet of how much money we can make on this how
many internet creators are there how about 37 000 and then there's some crap about for
context facebook has 12 000 employees and if every internet creator were a company it
would be hiring faster than any company in silicon valley and there's 300 000 people
making more than what 2500 if internet creator were a company it would be what if you added
them all to get any anyway um so the number of people making 2500 a year um 300 000 blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah um blah blah blah blah blah blah continues to get
more complex it's up to and a lot of this is valid the fact that it's up to individual
creators to take time off from their lives running small businesses to you know deal
with something going wrong like oh i don't know say for example amazon cutting off your
affiliate account um and i've known people who have personally had it happen to not just
me for reasons that suck a lot more than well i violated the terms of service and they kicked
me to the curb without so much as a phone call or a uh you know one last time you know
like austin for example someone in the chat sorry this was my point so i want to say if
plumbers were a company it would be the largest company yeah yeah exactly like what which
is absolutely nothing to do with anything um like austin austin evans for example had
his uh turned off temporarily because it wasn't available in the state that he was living
in all of a sudden like it can just it can just happen things can go wrong and like i
i see that that's interesting and then there's this bolded point there is no system for protecting
creators many of whom have no experience in any industry let alone the notoriously cut
throat entertainment industry um and there's no centralized organization representing creators
so it goes on to say so i'm creating one to which i'm contributing fifty thousand dollars
which is coming from vidcon um which is and then like it even says obviously vidcon benefits
hugely from the explosion online content and we're looking for ways to give back also known
as invest in it and uh blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah laura who has worked
with vidcon since the first year will be the executive director uh so here are some things
it wants to do most of which i think are pure nonsense help the press talk intelligently
about online video so i mean what so what you want to be tube filter or something like
you just want to be a publication that that other online press can sorry can someone can
someone call i guess the creators guild when they're trying to like if maybe investigative
journalism of some sort is doing so they want to be a um okay anyway so share stories and
strategies from professional creators that will be available only to members why would
these be available only to members if the idea is that you actually want to be helpful
collecting stories and strategies from professional creators is not real freaking difficult we've
had plenty of uh professional creators on for example the wan show as guests in the
past um increase transparency about what creators do and don't receive from ncn's advertisers
agencies and managers this i can see being valuable but this could be done in a handful
of blog posts this doesn't need an organization act as a bridge between creators and platforms
this looks like an opportunity to double dip to me this looks like an opportunity to charge
platforms for access to the creators you represent i mean this that feels an awful lot like an
mc what an mcn's role was supposed to be and as long as they are serving the creator's
interest rather than their own then i guess that's great but again i don't see that being
a full-time job and i don't see that being something that a creator should have to pay
for because that's where we're getting there are some things here that i think are great
um for example sample contracts for sponsors managers mcn's merchandise and agencies would
have been phenomenally helpful for us a few years ago um but some of this stuff just doesn't
mean anything foster diversity in online video content how are you going to do that online
video content is quite possibly the most diverse video platform available and has absolutely
nothing preventing it from being more diverse as video equipment and access to good enough
internet and computer hardware to create videos becomes more and more affordable as time goes
on you have absolutely zero impact on this so it just it reads like a bunch of lists
of things that sound great on paper and for some reason cost sixty dollars a year per
creator we figure you can spare five dollars a month for this and if we can't provide enough
value to make that investment more than worth it we're just not doing a good job the thing
that i really hate about this is that everything there the sample contracts are a great example
could have been done in a few minutes for free as like a tab like a drop down on the
vidcon website like creator resources um and they've got this board of directors that's
a bunch of prominent creators anna akana is one of them they've got an advisory board
that includes casey niestat so some some pretty big names um for experienced guys like that
or if they reached out to guest creators for example youtube asked me to create a number
of years ago a segment on finding your niche that i happily did lots of content creators
would be happy to create advice for for smaller creators there is no reason that sixty dollars
a year needs to be charged and the thing that really bugs me about it is that i can really
see it working and i can see it working on the people who we really shouldn't be taking
money from like i've attended uh three google workshops now uh like google youtube run workshops
for um existing and wannabe content creators and those guys are really impressionable and
quite frankly a little vulnerable um they they just need basic information a lot of
which can be accessed through youtube's own tools that are built right into the video
dashboard and the main thing totally is the contracts yep contracts are scary not a lot
of people understand them because they're written in a kind of weird way and a lot of
them get thrown at you really fast and yeah i don't feel like you need a membership for
that um so especially you don't need a membership in my mind for joining a guild that talks
about a lot of these things but actually doesn't have any bargaining power with anyone whatsoever
so they're completely powerless they're taking your membership fee and they offer these sort
of vague resources that you know for not doing a good enough job then i guess don't buy it
anymore um yeah so what happens anyway so i had actually told myself when i read this
article that i wasn't going to bother talking about it because i just didn't want to give
it any publicity but instead i've decided to talk about it because i don't like it um
i think it's crappy i think all these resources are out there i know because i've been through
this as well and um yeah yeah and floating cactus puts it um puts it well it's just another
euphemism for union except that the key difference here is that a union actually has collective
bargaining power yeah which a guild does not so there you go well i really don't like it
um let's move on to our next topic oh this is sort of a sort of a scandal original article
here is from tech power up allegedly msi and asus send vga review samples with higher clocks
than retail cards so i think it's not just that um i don't know how many different notes
we have on this but i was scrambling researching this as fast as i could before we went on
the show and if i saw correctly they're actually different um biases and like some cards will
have like oc mode and ln2 mode and all that stupid crap that you should just well ln2
mode on that kingpin card was useful because remember it circumvented all the ocp crap
yeah no in that one circumstance they should just all be always on well i think that's
an nvidia restriction so that's a whole deeper we're back to we're back to green light at
that point which i've talked about extensively in the past and i hate but is sort of i also
understand why it exists yeah um anyways so like some people were saying that oh it's
just they're they're shipped preset in one of those bigger modes so like it would it
would show up in ln2 mode or oc mode or whatever uh some people are saying that they're a custom
bios that have cranked settings above what you can normally have so consumers have access
this is from the tech power up article to the higher clock speed profiles but only if
they install a custom app by the companies and enable that profile something that quite
frankly flies in the face of the advice that's been being given by tech publications for
the last decade which is don't install ai suite don't install any random applications
because for the most part all they do is bog down your system um so to have the product
require that application from an end user but not for a reviewer uh feels a little skeevy
some of this i worry about because of gpu boost yep i've done videos on that before
and this is honestly getting close to the margin of error kind of problem with gpu boost
where cards just come out at different speeds yep but it came out that these were predefined
settings not just the card acting differently and it would be very difficult for the average
reviewer even a very vigilant one to notice these differences so in the case of the dtx
1080 gaming x from gigabyte the wait did i say gigabyte no i think that's an msi card
sorry gaming gaming x i think that's msi yeah yeah yeah msi sorry sorry sorry i'm g1 gaming
yeah i know i know i know i know yeah it's hard um the difference is 1822 megahertz boost
versus 1847 megahertz boost that can totally feel like a gpu that's a one percent difference
that basically really doesn't make much of a difference at all but would be a difference
between what a reviewer would see versus what an end user would see without the utility
um so it really does feel like splitting hairs a little bit to people like me who don't really
overclock video cards anyway but to a consumer who shops yeah based on a review that compares
a bunch of gtx 1080s i mean you and i i i don't even look at that stuff anymore because
it's like well if i really wanted to turn it up another 20 megahertz i would yeah um
i just go with what i know has a good warranty what i think looks cool and what has water
block compatibility um if this has been going on for a long time i wonder if it is related
to why i ended up making all those gpu boost videos because i do specifically remember
having a card and being like this is running not at all what it says it's supposed to run
at interesting so sending out emails but i'm not entirely sure so this is interesting i
i actually first heard about this uh when someone posted on my facebook post or on my
twitter actually i've been engaging a lot more in facebook i've been reading a lot more
stuff now that i realized it reaches so many more people like oh well maybe i should spend
some time on this platform anyway um someone asked when i posted a picture of an evga 1070
hey there's this scandal is evga doing it i have a response from jacob and i'm not going
to include what he said about the other companies because you know that's a private conversation
but what he says to say about evga is that we are not doing it evga cards have always
been exactly the same hardware and bios as production so no need to worry there smiley
face and therefore our 1070 review will move on jacob is a good guy he would not lie to
me um there's a lot of people in the industry that i would not necessarily say that about
but jacob salt of the earth if he says it i believe it um so there you go evga is not
involved um okay let me have a look um yeah i don't really see anything else that seems
that important here so i guess that's all the ones i really want pretty much it this
news is a little bit late but if we just want to talk about something else at all uh nostrallius
finally had their meeting with blizzard really like basically all the top heads of whatever
at world of warcraft and the ceo of blizzard were all in on the meeting and the meeting
ended up going like multiple hours over time okay and apparently they were taking a lot
of notes and had a lot of interesting inside metrics and stuff um they didn't lose the
code that was not a thing that happened they still have the code there's certain because
of like how versioning software works they can go back and find it there's certain things
that they don't have i don't remember without going back to the post like you don't remember
exactly what it is so there's still some rebuilding that has to be done but they're not like missing
the entire game right which was the original story yes yeah that no one bought no i actually
i thought it was possible like thinking back we don't have original footage or even exported
video footage well hold on stuff can happen you get a hard drive can die right but again
small computers is big small company versioning control and they would have that stuff in
multiple places big company that might have determined that the nine years ago build is
not that important anymore it's possible i i doubt it i don't just because like what
if they wanted to do some weird valve lost an entire episode of half-life
oh man uh sorry anyways apparently like they're not really saying anything yet or whatever
i kind of expect if anything gets announced it wouldn't be before blizzcon and that's
not for a while right yeah but apparently it was a very positive overall meeting okay
well that's good and like devs in the meeting were being like yeah if it was back i would
play so that was kind of interesting that's telling yeah that's like ouch yeah oh ow okay
so i think they might actually want to do it but i think they wanted to get the movie
out of the way right they wanted to get the launch of legion i don't mean like wanting
to get it out of the way they wanted those things to right walk their course first yeah
and then i think if they launch it anywhere it would probably be speaking of which you
saw the movie yeah okay i have seen multiple videos online of people saying that it sticks
to the lore really well what book did you read not the ones i read and i'm gonna exit
no it's fine i'm not gonna talk about it for too long i've been thinking about making a
video on this i just don't even know where to start like that hit it hit it warcraft
the movie is highly topical to our viewers i just like he's already convinced me not
to watch it okay medivh oh i don't want to give spoilers but like there's books and games
already out so is it okay i think oh okay uh you know what no hold on hold on hold on
i want to hear from the audience we can just give people the opportunity to tune out you
know what i can talk about one thing yeah before they answer this poll let's do this
let's let's can the wan show and let's do a short after party today let's talk about
the warcraft movie i want to do one more topic uh before we before we cut the show uh microsoft
considered launching an upgraded xbox one this year uh phil spencer came out and basically
said um yeah we could have done an upgraded xbox but uh no no it's still working okay
it's just not changing scenes because i think i like misclicked okay oh i moved it oh there
we go all good um actually this the stream system's been like totally fine no weird behavior
in xsplit no weird behavior we surged the power supply at some point i don't know man
um so phil spencer basically said at an interview at e3 that the company seriously considered
launching a new xbox one with upgraded hardware this year but decided against it is instead
launching a smaller version of the xbox one the xbox one s they're focusing on a 4k ready
console to release next year code name scorpio which has like actually a pretty crazy gpu
in it well that's probably that's probably why they didn't launch it this year because
honestly to me the console refresh has been a waiting game from the beginning i've i was
talking to john about it and like no i haven't read anything about this anywhere i have no
like solid actual reason to think this i'm just kind of wondering if it's a soc 1070
because the memory bandwidth matches up and the teraflops on the chip is very close they
said six i think and the 1070 is six point something it could also be they could also
be going back to amd um amd didn't say anything about it but man they were smug as a bee in
a bee suit okay i've invented that saying no one no one ever said that before but amd
was pretty smug about their console leadership when i was at the polaris launch event still
amd so i i'm i am guessing i had no reason no information why i got excited about that
is because he uh phil spencer whatever was talking about vr yeah i almost included in
my oculus rift thing but i didn't bother and uh the playstation vr stuff that's coming
out they're both pushing towards vr and smp would help them a lot right so i thought that
made sense but i guess not so basically in a nutshell i think i think microsoft by waiting
out sony a little bit longer has effectively won the next generation con the 4k generation
console war they're going to be so much more powerful and uh and nick is standing there
because we never actually did our sponsor spots for uh this week's land show which we
will definitely do right now discord is an all-in-one voice and text chat for gamers
it's free and a tier set for priests in world of warcraft and it works on both your desktop
and your phone they have an encrypted server to client communication method that keeps
your ip safe and they have vdos protection something skype could surely use with automatic
server failover you can share images video and links from your desktop or phone and discord
embeds most media directly in the chat although gifs only play when you mouse over them which
is probably a good idea with some of the gifs that i've seen gifs gifs that i've seen people
share in the gaming chat this is how like captain america civil war starts gifs gifs
it takes 10 seconds to set up and doesn't require any drivers and you can run it in
your browser if desired so if you're looking for a great free voice and text chat check
out discord at the link below the link unfortunately isn't provided in my wan show notes so hopefully
nick is on his way back up to his computer to post it or something you a gif person at
this moment i am a whatever makes you mad person okay speaking of making you mad gif
makes me really mad linda.com used by millions of people around the world if i get my talk
knocking points wrong because you love linda so much linda is used by thousands of people
around the world they have more than three courses available on topics like glittering
your iphone cleaning out the feet of your horse and um well flattering your significant
if you used one of their courses to write a program that like taught people how to clean
the feet of their horses okay so what linda.com actually does i think nick's coming out to
yell at me for not using the real talking points uh it's used by millions of people
around the world it has more than three thousand courses available on topics like web development
photography uh visual design business video editing uh software training for software
like excel word wordpress and photoshop word and wordpress not related actually all courses
are taught by industry experts with new courses added every week so whether the idea is to
take your hobby to the next level you want to you know learn the rule of thirds for photography
or whether the idea is to like get a job like some of the people who actually legit work
here at linus media group taryn was even doing premiere tutorials not that long ago because
brushing up on the basics can be a great way to explore new tools one of the coolest things
in my opinion i like this if you're working alongside the video so if it's like do this
do that or it teaches you how to do something you want to try it and go back to it there
is a text version of the script and you can click on the text version of the script and
have it bring you to that part of the video which is actually super cool they've got a
10-day trial that lets you access every course on lynda.com and it's free and all you got
to do is head over to lynda.com slash wan show for that aforementioned trial and start
learning today plan started only 25 bucks a month it's a heck of a lot cheaper than
bcit that's for sure yes it is so thanks for watching the wan show guys we'll see you shortly
