    thebinderclip_ reacted to GoodBytes in Newegg Credit Card?   
    Buy what you NEED, not feel.
     
    You'll be in debt and pay for months or years the system original price, when your system is worth peanuts in comparison when it was new due to new hardware being released. Depreciation is NOT considered in your monthly payment.
     
    In addition, credit card companies (the actual one, not Newegg, Newegg just slap their logo on it and get money for every person getting a card), will help you miss your payment and pay 20-25% interest rate on your payment for missing one. For example: the webpage will be often down for maintenance or very slow. Or you'll get your statements at first, but magically your next one will be missing ("""lost in mail"""), and so on. NOTE: This is not true for actual bank credit cards. I am talking about credit card from many third parties, like the ones that store like: Sears, Newegg, BestBuy, Dell, etc. The credit card company makes money by you paying their interest rate. So why would they run their website payment system on anything faster than a 486 on a 56K modem, Of course, as mentioned they are exceptions, some are genuine, but usually it is not the case when it comes to these stores credit card.
     
    Do you know how people get nice things all the time? They are not in debt (beside home and car.. and even then... it is more getting a short period) They wait until they have the money and buy, and usually that time comes when they really NEED something. Debt is your worst enemy. Making a monthly budget is annoying at first when you are not used to it, but you get used to it, and allows you save money, and allows you to get great things.
    You really should look into:
    Make a budget. Understanding the basics of investments and savings. Understanding depreciation of a good or service. This is usually though in schools here in Canada, at least to my knowledge, I don't know where you are.
     
    The only reason why I use my credit card are:
    Purchase online. Purchase stuff with the banks money, not mine, so if fraud occurs, it the bank problem, not mine to try and convince and defend (that is why I try and avoid Interact card) That is all. I pay my credit card as soon as possible. Once I went on a trip and forgot after a while. then remembered, and paid in time, but guess what, that one time magically took several days to process the transfer of funds from my account to my credit card (despite the same bank), and I "missed" the deadline, and now I got slap interest rate.. I had I call to have that corrected, which they did promptly as I have a pristine record and 0 debt. Like I said, debt is your worst enemy, it goes always against you.

    I think I got everything... if you have any questions, ask below
     
    ------
     
    The first step is to decide what you want your setup to be, as you'll need to know how many parts to order. There is a few different options, and once you've chosen, click on the parts list for your respective setup.
     
    1. Single Camera w/o hub server
    Parts list: Pros Least expensive setup Cons Lower attainable FPS/res 2. Single Camera w/ hub server - *RECOMMENDED*
    Parts list: Pros allows for future expandability higher attainable FPS/res more reliable vs. no hub Cons costs more (you have to buy a second Raspi) 3. Multiple Cameras w/ hub server - *RECOMMENDED*
    Parts list: Pros higher attainable FPS/res more reliable vs. no hub Cons cost (lol, 2 cameras + hub is still cheaper than a Nest cam) 4. Multiple cameras w/ a desktop computer as a hub
    This is a setup that you can build, but I haven't investigated it yet, so stay tuned on this.  
    My recommendation is to have a hub server regardless of the number of cameras to ensure the best possible image quality, but if your budget doesn't permit, a single camera w/o a hub server can still work decently.

    thebinderclip_ reacted to LinusTech in I think LTT makes up a majority of Vessel views...   
    IT's late and I'm both hungry and tired from shooting Scrapyard Wars (which by the way is an LTT series and will be airing ad-supported on YouTube very soon for your viewing pleasure).
     
    But there are a few points to address and you've already been patient enough.
     
    I said LMG content would always be free. This was poor wording on my part. There has always been content produced by me and my team that was not necessarily available on a free platform like YouTube.
     
    These "The Boost" videos that we make on contract as a sales training resource for Intel, for example:
     
     
     
    In much the same way, Vessel has contracted LMG the production company to create an original series for their platform. They bankrolled the whole thing, giving us an opportunity to make something that otherwise would have been too costly, and per the licensing agreement they own the right to exploit this content. It's their show until such time as they decide it's not anymore.
     
    We played more of a "production company" role in this than we're accustomed to.
     
    This could, and SHOULD have been communicated better, and for that I'm sorry. The community should have heard about this from us FIRST, and not from a random email newsletter, but I've been (and so has the whole team) absolutely busting ass to not only get Nerd Sports produced, but also make sure that we're keeping up with everything else that we've got going on including not having missed a single day of LTT uploads for something like 5 years..
     
    With that said, quantity isn't everything, and I've noticed that not everyone has appreciated the LTT content as much as usual lately, but it's hard for me to tell if that's because they don't like our new direction (fewer reviews, and more exploratory or experimental videos) or if they just saw a video or two they didn't like and raised hell in the comment section - it wouldn't be the first time.. And I will say, too, that honestly if a couple of the videos felt rushed then it's probably because they were.. HOWEVER, the primary reason for the rushed videos was  the entire week we're taking off this week to film Scrapyard Wars Season 4, which will be premiering on Vessel sometime in the next few weeks or so, followed by a release on YouTube 1 week later, which is the standard agreement for OUR content that is paid for by LMG or our sponsors.
     
    Nerd Sports was shot 40% during evenings and weekends with employees taking time in lieu later on when we hire some more staff or when things slow down a little. We were careful to avoid disrupting any of our other commitments because imo you guys deserve the best we can deliver.
     
    Which is another point that was brought up in this thread - "How will LMG keep its commitment to maintain the pace and quality of the other content if they're making Nerd Sports or other contractual content?"
     
    We couldn't. We're hiring.
     
    I've never shied away from investing in more staff or better equipment or a better facility to make sure that we're doing our best for ourselves, each other, our sponsors and our viewers. If we play our cards right, absolutely everyone wins.
     
    Nerd Sports has been a fantastic learning experience for us, and whether we continue the series with Vessel, create other completely different web series in the future, or just say "fudge it" and flip burgers from now on, we'll be able to do those things better than we could have without having done this.
     
    So bottom line is this. I screwed up the way I communicated "LMG content", which was meant to be content funded BY Linus Media Group rather than content funded entirely by and licensed to a 3rd party, and I screwed up in a MUCH bigger way the LACK of communication about this project. Sorry guys.
