Why do I feel like WAN show is like a therapy session for Linus?? :D Dr Luke has a lot of patience!!

The best part about the dislike counter was from my experience is that you could basically tell straight away that a tutorial video or giveaway was fake without even watching the video. Especially considering all the comments on the fake tutorial videos were also fake

"Dennis had three hours of professional guidance." Then we let Dennis show off his excellent track record of hand eye coordination

"I don't have coarse hair... unlike our sponsor" would've been the greatest segue ever.

*Watches Dennis build a PC* "Yeah, I'll let this guy cut my hair."

I want to see the real hairdresser do the look he was going for after Linus grows it out again and see the comparison between what Dennis did and what the professional hairdresser does.

Dennis is an actual GTA barber. Somehow managed to make the top look longer.

i love when Linus has a bit of a rant. i love it because he genuinely cares. And i do the same about things in my life and i am just as exasperated about the lack of common sense in big companies. I wish i was in your part of the world because i would work with you in a heartbeat.

About the YT "Increased strictness" thing, I got access a few weeks back and I noticed within 2 days how crap it was. At this time they should just employ ThioJoe as the lead dev for channel moderation

I love the banner slowly changing position to avoid oled issues

KZfaq, and Google in general look like they've stopped (or dramatically reduced) using standard business metrics for improvement (things like straight-up asking customers), perhaps because they have such a huge customer base that the hard to parse feedback into meaningful changes is like drinking from a fire hose. Instead, those that have the immediate capacity for change have shifted to using a/b changes based on incomprehensible metrics that have been shoved into an insanely complex regression algorithm. It looks like they're spending insane money to develop features without a clear theme, and then looking at wildly abstract metrics for whether they're working.

Timelapse: 0:00:00-2:13:00 Linus ranting

On the subject of different characters that fool people: it's 2022 and the default font on every single major operating system, both desktop and mobile, still has a lowercase l and an uppercase l that are nearly indistinguishable. Either give the l a curve or give the I some serifs. I don't care about their "design vision" or anything of that sort, usability/safety is more important than looks.

Super happy to see Reloptix as a sponsor. They are an amazing company that has changed my life when it comes to VR and are better quality than their competition at about the same price.

1:00:31. Linus gets a bright idea. You can tell by his face that he's going to do it when the time comes.

Guys I just want to put this out there, I was pretty now well today (mentally) but all I needed to do was complete my daily dose of LTT (LMG content overall)! Thanks a-lot for all the transparency and ethics alongside amazing especially entertaining ( I mean the comedic nature). Keep it up guys.😉

1:12:49 most smartlocks are woefully inadequate in terms of physical security. Lockpicking Lawyer made more than a few videos on them. Those are mostly trash-tier for security priced insanely high. The problem is many times people try their hands at security with ZERO prior knowledge.

As long as you can establish that ARM can provide ballpark-comparable performance for general computing workloads, that's enough to spark tons of interest for it on the server, where what really matters is performance _per watt._ For so many use-cases, operations per clock is of no concern, nor per core, and in many cases even I/O is of minimal concern. And to determine if ARM is right for your project, you just need general profiling guidelines, like "ARM is better/worse at branching latency" or "ARM is better/worse at massive parallelism." If ARM can cope with even just a small class of workloads passably but does it at 1/3rd the energy consumption and half the heat output, you can bet data centers will be very eager to help their customers make the switch.

I can imagine a building crammed with workers in India, China or Thailand working on the best methods to scam people, working for a boss who hired them and pay them for that exact purpose.

Thank you for sharing about Technoblade. I had no idea about him before this show. What a legend. Rest in peace young boy. 😢

"So long, Nerds" i´ve never even heard of Technoblade, but just from that kind of good bye message i kind of wish i knew him.

An idea regarding character sets: instead of trying to ban certain specific characters, which is really finicky and prone to bad errors, prevent mixing of character sets. So you are allowed to either write a channel name/user name or comments in either Farsi or Latin or simplified Chinese, but not in all of them. Than you can start dialing that in until the user barley notice it, but fake names are still prevented.

Fine.... Now you get me too. Already looking longer for the water bottle and now with the 4 in one Maus pad and the Jerry knife you get me anyway that I need a shipping all the way to Germany. Also I will say and pay respect to all of you as it is nice to see you grow and don't get the feel you are drifting away.

I wonder if Linus would lean into the length Dennis left on top and rock a pompadour. Might make a good Yvonne reaction vid lol

A video I would love to see you do is to take a low end card like the 1630 or 1050ti and see how far back in time it would have been considered high-end. And then see how well it can run the games from that time period and test how far you can go forward in time until you get below 60fps @ 720p.

Watching this WAN for the third time👀 WAN is so addictive because it's these informative intelligent guys unfiltered 👍

51:35: "You can see who is featuring them and what size they are wearing": Holy crap, you just revolutionized the entire internet shopping experience. This is literally the most frustrating thing about shopping clothing online: I look like a Luke and yet all the models on all the other website are Dennises or Linuses at best.

one thing KZfaq could do to deal with spammers is to put profile photos of verified channels (which tend to be bigger ones that get targeted by spammers) into a blacklist that new profile photos have to be scanned against, likely with filters that check for things like mirrored images, color filters like inversion, etc etc.

They should allow content creators to limit comments to specific language with both strict - only "alphanumerical" and extended character sets.

Luke is a total bro here. Everyone needs a Luke.

Let creators create their own creator studio layout. There is no reason not to do that. Then they can downsize the design department, save money, release responsibility, win/win.

Its crazy how KZfaq only has contempt and apathy for their creators. They are failing in every way when it comes to creator and audience wellbeing. The largest video hosting site has every large video spammed with scams, that unacceptable and a complete joke

My big complaint is KZfaq went Nuclear for advertisers but they won't for their content creators?

hay Linus the video grandpa meets google Brought me so much joy hope I get to see my grandpa live to that age Thank you for sharing your experiences with all of your community

1:41:40 Used a 1030, was miles ahead of the integrated for office work. (Upgraded to 1650 due to some very light AI-work requiring more vram.) Though if you're 2-finger typing and using a single display, this might not mean much. Also, the integrated had some weird issue with outputs turning on for sub-second while being in sleep mode. Enough for the display speakers to pop, which was annoying. for second-hand argument: warranty. In EU, it's still a thing. But for gaming? Yeah, you could make the argument.

​It's weird about hairdressers-- the price does not seem closely related to the quality

My main gripe as a "user / watcher" is this: When I see obvious spam / scam messages: I want to report them as that. But I can't because the only flippin Button I have is "report as impersonation of ME" not of Channel / user XYZ. And this is nuts. Because then I have to provide evidence and endanger myself if the claim is false. WTH KZfaq... Fix this. Let me report it as scam / impersonation and it gets flagged. Enough flags trigger hide of the comments + manual review.

Linus lowkey demonstrating the usefulness of USB C universality

2:06:39 - My biggest problem with Sony phones is they're just not available in Canada through Sony themselves. Have to import them from the US (via a proxy mail service, they will not let you ship to a Canadian address on the US website), or from overseas (Hong Kong, China, etc). They literally pulled out from the Canadian market in 2019 and it's so frustrating. They are, as far as I can tell, making phones with decent hardware that doesn't have a notch/hole punch, or lacks a headphone jack/expandable storage. Their Xperia line of phones is basically perfect, which makes me frustrated.

1:13:34 It's hard to believe that someone over at HomeAssistant or some other maker community hasn't made a DIY smart remote project. The only commercial products Harmony and Broadlink are good but flawed. I have a Broadlink and for me the app is serviceable but crap. I want a remote editor function or something so I can add dedicated On and Off commands so I can set scenes like you do with Harmony. I know the functions exist on my TV but but the buttons are not on my remote and trying to find a code set in the app that has them is tedious if they even have them And Harmony like you said is no longer supported so at some point it's going to break and it will be useless too

Jesus y’all spend too much time together. Linus almost cried when he didn’t get Luke’s approval and Luke then proceeded to describe every possible way Linus has worn his hair in the past six months. Lolll. All in jest; love the podcast. 🙇🏻‍♂️

Reloptix doesn't carry lenses for my Samsung VR headset, but their support team is awesome. Absolutely recommend them!

Reloptics is super cool I have 3d printed inserts that use lenses from zenni in my WMR headset, but it is a kludge

Locks are one situation where security by obscurity actually works. If you have a system where someone can't figure out how to unlock your door even after gaining access to everything, you have done a good job.

Linus ranting and Luke laughing during it is always gold, such a friend thing to do.

Yooo shouting my boy LPL. Great channel I've learned so much

Great video as always!

Techno would be so angry that he gained 2 million subs after dying. “All I had to do was die?! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH EFFORT I PUT INTO LIVING?!”

First of all, happy Canada Day Linus and Luke I know a month or so ago I posted on one of your wan shows about why I still use Netflix despite higher rising subscriber cost. But a few minutes later I got a reply saying I was shortlisted to win a free computer. The poster made me almost think it was from Linus Tech tips Thinking it wasn't real, I did not respond. I'm sure I made the right decision

1:45:00 Because the SteamDeck already only has 1 NAND flash package, it probably doesnt support speeds that would saturate PCIe 2x3.0 no matter if it had 4x to begin with. Which, funnily enough, the base model M2 MacBook Pro can atest to

Love the bad cut. Keep it. Thanks for being a human that is relatable. Love your faces. Best of luck!

Honestly it's not a badly done haircut, it just doesn't suit him as well as his go-to. Lookin' good, ish Linus! Can't wait for that CSF, Denis is a whole jam, and I'm signed up.

The new KZfaq Studio not being able to drag date ranges is the most baffling decision. Or not having the same hover to see stats on individual days.

I get your point about low end GPUs, but still bought one. Son’s computer is small form factor case, with flex power supply, so without replacing the whole computer, RTX3050 was 100% our best option. Yes, in terms of raw FPS in games he didn’t get much of a bump from a 1650 Super, but he gained DLSS, video encode/decode performance increase, and his Blender renders are about 3 times faster. Cheaper than replacing power supply + case + higher-end card, and will work for medium term.

when it comes to locks there is one saying I love using to remind people about why layering security is important and its "Locks only keep honest people honest."

You know, I watch this for no cost but my analytics. So, I find it worth my time to take a few minutes now and then to try to report those scam accounts in comments. I hope it helps :D. I'll report the one on this for sure ;) lol.

i've been told to not "go against the grain" ever since i started shaving in high school. i tried for a bit and dropped it. it takes a lot longer.

I have had about 15 cell repeaters over the years, all but one were cheap aliexpress dealies. They were all "okay" but died within a year, or slowly degraded. Even when they worked, they worked "okay" and if I walked in-to or out of the house mid call it would disconnect 50% of the time. Bought a cell-fi after the vid. Cost literally 8 times as much, but OH MY GOD IT'S SO MUCH BETTER. IT JUST WORKS. OH MY GOD. Highly recommend.

The rockwool box is called a Bass Trap. Specifically you're best off with a rockwool 'board' as a baffle, standing waves will bouce around in there and dissipate.

Linus, I do blame the platform. ~25% off the adds I see on YT are obvious scams/barely legal.

I have found so much inconsistency with comment moderation. Sometime blocking a channel removes all their comments sometimes it doesn't. A weird thing is that instead of being held for review, spam and hate comments will be invisible to me but still post which makes them harder to moderate. Everything is broken

Dedicated mining hardware has some scary security implications

2:06:50 THANK YOU!!! However the phones are really slim and comfortable in the hand, so it was fine getting used to reaching over

Figure that the You Tube employee isn't going to rock the boat because he's probably worried about losing his fabulous paycheck.

It’s interesting that Gmail has such an amazing spam filter (at least in my experience) but somehow KZfaq can’t seem to figure this out. KZfaq themselves also have a wealth of additional information beyond anything viewers or creators can see. They know when the comment was made, when the account was created, which IP the account was created from, how often the user of the account logs in, how long they spend on different screens, how comments are set, which browsers they use, and on. They can also do massive comparisons across videos, across comments, and across commenting accounts. They have a A LOT more data that they could use beyond just a basic words blocklist. They have so many overpaid engineers and data scientists working on useless products that crash and burn and yet somehow this doesn’t get any attention.

Looks so much better

1:12:50 Get smartlocks that can ONLY PHYSICALLY lock the doors! Knowing you can lock your doors remotly if you forgot. Or even have 'em warn you with geofencing is great.

Just shave it for the memes. Could you imagine the juicy Linus memes this would create? And you wouldn't have to wear that terrible embarrassment.

Imagine being the "baby sitter" of Mr. Tech Tips Himself "You can go home" 'But I don't wanna'

You know you've got a good man beside you when he tells you your hair sucks. lol!!

It's called Bayesian filters (and other related spam trap systems) for email. We've (email administrators) been using them in email spam filtering for YEARS. KZfaq needs to get members of the GMail team involved to process the comments in EXACTLY the same way GMail is filtered. This isn't rocket science, but DOES require teaching the filtering system to recognize things that a normal human would notice pretty quickly

I love doing hair love my job, I also love computers, love this show, love playing flight simulators, Star citizen is a cool game. You need a new haircut. I got you fam.

One thing that could help is if KZfaq had a Partnered channel icon. So a creator (Lets use LTT) can partner with... Short Circuit, and a little icon will show next to every comment each channel makes on eachothers videos. No icon? not legit.

Happy Canada Day!

Thanks Linus, Luke, & Bell ✌🏻

The Google Analytics upgrade is a similar disaster. The work coming out of Google in the last few years has been terrible. Even other important people have publically complained about it.

Linus now literally looks like the Linus meth tips guy meme

I love that they are referencing the R7 240 video which is how I found this channel in the first place lol I found one of those cards in my pre built and mixed it up for a 750ti

Hey, have you guys thought about possibly contracting out some time from the labs for example other creators trying to validate their findings?

You have my sympathy with managing spammers and trolls. I've spent whole days cleaning up comments for a channel I manage for my piano teacher. There were the same spam accounts you have as well as outright trolls and bots that had infiltrated the comment threads and ultimately ruined the real comments on the videos. When you announced that KZfaq was making changes for comment and user management, my eyes and ears perked up, but sadly this isn't working out as expected, or perhaps as well as we would expect from KZfaq. As you noted, the hidden comments/users do not hide ASAP. I noticed that they do eventually as if KZfaq goes through a cleanup period and purges marked users and comments if you do this from within the video itself. When removing the comments and hiding users from within the creator's studio, the comment/user isn't always hidden right away if they comment as part of a thread. This, I think is the issue you have too, and this is why the spammers are difficult to remove. This may also be why they position their hack as a response to another comment rather than as a comment-thread starter. I have a feeling that the people you've talked to about this issue know very well what you're talking about and doing the typical push back. It's frustrating for us because we know full well that they can easily click on virtually any channel and see this issue, but they don't want to bother because it's too difficult and means they actually have to do some work. Good luck with this and I look forward to an update on any progress you may have with this issue.

If you have a company with 20 pcs that needs 4 monitors per pc for whatever work. You dont go looking for used gpus.

Every time linus get roasted he drinks water 🤣

The truth is 12:55 is a very valid factor, Linus. You did forfeit some charm points. I always found you kinda silly (not in a bad way) with that old-fashioned hairstyle a few years ago (is it called iced tips?). But over the years you actually let yourself go a little and went the natural path to find your own style which suits you way more. Now it's halfway back to the old days xD

"Microsoft wants everyone in the world to use Windows" Yep, If something is free, 'you' are the product.

VR has always been a pain wearing glasses and unusable without. Its nice someone is filling that need. (First sponsor)

59:04: "Variety of body sizes" - which is amazing, but you also might want to get Marques for some, just to see how colors work on a darker skin tones.

1:10:28 "to make sure they don’t buy the right thing." 🤣

Hey LTT I love your videos and your channels! Just wanted to send you a real message that’s not from a bot!

It's not just yt. The Spam problem is literally everywhere in every site and platform social media and beyond!

When the screwdriver and backpack come out you should eventually run promos with JRE like this promo, ultimate tech utility pack!

Concrete mixer strike?- dang that's rough and hard

I quite like Linus' hair. After seeing the whole thing, I think that looks pretty good tbh

If you’re a software engineer, you’re getting utterly garbage information constantly. Feedback/bug report: “I’m getting spam. Oh it’s my mom.” And there aren’t any comments if you go look. What does that mean? And internally as well. “How come when Bob does X there is no button?” … because that was never going to be there… or more common than anything else, “everyone agrees there is a bug only sometimes in ‘the program’”. A company’s process could be updated to have dedicated outreach people to find eg comments for you, but they wouldn’t be so technically skilled. They’d tell the engineer, the engineer would say it’s too vague to act on, and they’d contact you to ask for an example because maybe they don’t have access or something. Or the reports with actionable information will be processed first. Or there isn’t a prompt response and their job isn’t outreach and the engineer moves on. Or the involved parties are bored by this topic they’ve been assigned. If you were a manager you’d find the same experience. You’d say “why this?” and get met with “not specific enough.” Everyone thinks they know best. Managers, engineers, clients, commentators, You name it… the truth is only I know best.

Happy Canada Day, Linus!

Don't be Google... I mean evil. KZfaq wants you to use the desktop version on your phone :D

The "price" thing is probably intentional to filter out the people who pay attention to the comment, since the scammer just want the naive easy to scam people to reach to them.

The whole price vs prize thing is to filter out the kind of user that would notice that sort of detail. That way you know the security awareness of the user that follows the instruction is going to be pretty low

Talking of H i t l e r - That extract at 1:23:26, did you see the hilarious motorbike version, where they make him talk about getting a BMW. I got stitches after laughing so hard. Look for "H***** lost his motorcycle. Then got a BMW GS." Great show guys, from a long term viewer 👍

Bought the 12x7 deskpad the week before the first promo Feels bad man
