If you're wondering why this would be posted here instead of on Floatplane... Say in the FAQ section... That's because Google Play Console is convinced that https://www.floatplane.com/support doesn't even exist and is trying to take our app off the app store because of it! Very fun. Hopefully this works! Bye!

I wasn't saying it negatively!

All correct - Invision was more easily compatible and was also highly accommodating at the start, there have been some frustrations since but XF wasn't a great option at the time.

Hey guys! Very sorry about this, job queueing service went haywire - it's under control now.

We do what we must because we can

No more stock - Thanks for tryin!

Not bots btw - But I def understand the feels bad only 80 avail this time. Also technically there is still a queue at this time as some people that passed the quiz did not order... Hopefully you didn't close the page

Is this the contact form you're speaking of? https://www.floatplane.com/support#support-help I haven't heard of anyone having troubles with that form before Sorry to hear that. Please email support@floatplane.com directly and we'll have you taken care of

Unfortunately PayPal has turned everything off for us at this time. We're working diligently to get everything turned back on - Seems like they aren't however so I have no ETA on when it will be working. In the meantime feel free to subscribe with credit card through Stripe. Thanks, sorry for the troubles

Cool project! Unfortunately due to trademark something blah blah(I'm not so great at legal stuff) you can't use the logo or floatplane in the title. I've often pointed to https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/betterttv/ajopnjidmegmdimjlfnijceegpefgped to get across guidelines - their own logo and name.. bit of a sassy name :P but a fair enough name in the end haha

To you as well!

Tossed you a refund and 6 months of free subscription - big fail on our part. Thanks for being cool about it!

Banned for asking a question instead of giving a proper ban reason

As you may have heard we'll be moving all subscriptions off the LTT Forums and on to Floatplane.com. You will no longer be able to subscribe through the forum AND all billing agreements made through the forum will be cut off. At this time we request that all users cancel their subscriptions on the forum and start new subscriptions on Floatplane.com. Subscriptions done through the forum have been a major accounting problem for a long time now as the forums billing agreements have all been with Linus Media Group instead of Floatplane media which is an accounting nightmare that we are going to try to avoid in 2019. As a gift for dealing with the hassle of migrating things over, and to cover any time you had left on your subscription, we will be granting two bonus months to all creators that you are subscribed to on Floatplane.com AND you’ll gain access to an exclusive live chat emoji all on January 31st. Steps to migrate successfully: 1) Cancel your subscription on the LTT Forum Method 1, Cancelling through the Forum: Hide contents Go to this link: https://linustechtips.com/main/clients/billing-agreements/ click view details(on the right) Click on view(on the right) Then click cancel(on the left) These steps are correct for most people but sometimes the cancel button is sneaky and decides to be somewhere else or isn't there at all.. This is another reason we are moving away from the LTT forums as we can't fix some of the payments problems. If these steps don't work for you please move on to Method 2. Method 2, Cancelling through PayPal: Hide contents Go to this link: https://www.paypal.com/myaccount/autopay/ Scroll through your active autopays and click on 'Linus'. On the right hand side there should be a Status row that shows 'Active' Click the 'Cancel' Button beside it. Click 'Cancel Automatic Payments' on the next popup. If this fails for whatever reason.. Move on to method 3. Method 3(Last Resort), Sudo cancel subscription: Hide contents Send an email to support@floatplane.com Let them know your forum Username/Email and they'll take care of you. Just a heads up that the wait time will be higher than normal as we are receiving a lot of support tickets right now. 2) Create or sign in to your existing Floatplane.com account, you can use a forum linked account, that's no problem at all. 3) Subscribe to whatever creators you want to support. https://www.floatplane.com/browse 4) Sit back and enjoy the content! 5) If you had a yearly subscription – Please send an email to support@floatplane.com with your forum account name and your floatplane account name. They will make sure you get the time you had remaining on your forum subscription added to your new floatplane website subscription. Yearly options on the new site are not available at this time but will be soon. If all else fails.. Just send an email to support@floatplane.com with any relevant account names, emails, etc. and we'll have you taken care as soon as possible! Thanks! Floatplane

Happy to hear it! Yeah there are plenty of bugs That just isn't a 'bug' per se.

Not a bug. Slight RNG placeholder stats.

Thanks! We fixed this stuff for live chat as that's been a focus for us but we'll be sure to apply the same stuff to comments as well

Bitwit Ultra subscriptions are now live!

Hey there @Archemis., Hope you enjoyed SYW S6! I've cancelled for you through my UI but I'd recommend making sure that the billing agreement is cancelled through your own paypal account! Hope to have you back sometime

I have decided to take a time-off in Q4 to spend time with my family. I have been contemplating this for a while now and there was never a good time to do this. Lisa and I agreed that Q4 is better than 2018, before the next wave of product excitement. Lisa will be acting as the leader of RTG during by absence.” Is this being overblown?

There's a 20 percent performance gap between the current desktop GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 the new GTX 1070 refresh could find a price-performance equation somewhere in the middle. The new card could: use the latest stepping of the GP104 silicon, Have 2,048 CUDA cores (on par with GTX 1070 Mobile), or more. faster memory, likely 9 Gbps GDDR5 or even 10 Gbps GDDR5X. core and GPU Boost clock speeds could be dialed up a little. Historically, NVIDIA has updated SKU specifications without changing the name of the card. The GTX 1080 and GTX 1060 6 GB were refreshed without name changes (they just put the specs into the branding) OR the Ti branding could be used to combat the "grandeur" of AMD's RX Vega branding.

Bluetooth hacked (again) Source 1: posted by Levisallanon https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/834418-bluetooth-is-hacked-again/ Source 2: https://www.armis.com/blueborne/ Source 3: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/09/bluetooth-bugs-open-billions-of-devices-to-attacks-no-clicking-required/ White Hat cybersecurity research lab Armis Labs has revealed a new attack vector endangering major mobile, desktop, and IoT operating systems- including Android, iOS, Windows, and Linux- and the devices using them. ‘BlueBorne’ is an attack vector by which hackers can leverage Bluetooth connections to penetrate and take complete control over targeted devices. The attack does not require the targeted device to be paired to the attacker’s device, or even to be set on discoverable mode. It doesn't require users to click on any links, connect to a rogue Bluetooth device, or take any other action The BlueBorne attack vector can be used to conduct a large range of offenses, including remote code execution as well as Man-in-The-Middle attacks allows hackers to intercept all network traffic sent to and from the targeted device and to modify that data. That means attackers could use BlueBorne to bypass personal and corporate firewalls and exfiltrate sensitive data and possibly modify or otherwise tamper with it while it's in transit. The exploit process is generally very fast, requiring no more than 10 seconds to complete It works even when the targeted device is already connected to another Bluetooth-enabled device. Virtually any Android, Linux, or Windows device that hasn't been recently patched and has Bluetooth turned on can be compromised by an attacking device within 32 feet. Windows closed the vulnerability in July during the company's regularly scheduled Patch Tuesday IOS has been immune since version 10 Google provided device manufacturers with a patch last month, but it’s up to them to push it to devices. the patch is available for Pixel XL and other Google-branded phones today Charge your electric car in 5 minutes!!

The route proposed by the Canadian arm of U.S. engineering firm AECOM would include a stop in Ottawa. The proposal suggests a trip from Toronto to Ottawa would take 27 minutes and the Ottawa-Montreal leg would take another 12 minutes Toronto- Ottawa by car is 5h 06m- by air it’s 55m Ottawa-Montreal by car is 2h 23m Toronto-Monreal by air is 1h 10m The next logical step would be to extend the hyperloop system into the U.S., west to Detroit from Windsor, Ont., and east from Quebec to Niagara Falls and Buffalo and on toward Chicago, New York and Boston. Connecting Canadian ports to an extended network could enable long-haul cargo deliveries to customers within hours instead of days.

Google Chrome to let you permanently mute sites, block autoplaying videos Source 1: https://techcrunch.com/2017/09/15/upcoming-versions-of-google-chrome-will-let-you-permanently-mute-sites-block-autoplaying-videos/ In the upcoming version of the Google Chrome web browser (Chrome 64), Google will limit the ability for sites to autoplay annoying, and power and data-hungry videos. Autoplay will only be allowed when the media itself doesn’t include sound, or when the user has indicated an interest in the media. User interest can be determined by a variety of factors. if the user has frequently played the media on the site before when visiting from the desktop browser; if they’ve tapped or clicked on the screen during the browsing session; or if they’ve added the site to their home screen on mobile. On Chrome for Android, it’s removing the ‘block autoplay’ setting that’s currently available, and it will also remove autoplay blocking on mobile when the Data Saver mode is enabled. The company says that, by doing so, it will make this new “muted autoplay” more reliable Google will also introduce a new user option within Chrome 63 that will allow you to completely disable audio for individual sites This change will persist even when you close your browser session, and then later return Site muting will arrive in the stable version of Chrome 63 in October, The new autoplay policies will arrive in Chrome 64 (beta build) in December, and then to the stable build of Chrome 64 in January 2018.

My attempt at a light hearted joke response went rather terribly so i'll go with something a little more straightforward. We do make a lot of videos that are jokes or trolls.. and as is the nature of these things sometimes they don't go so well! We release a video every day.. It can be hard to perfectly hit the mark every time.. Also please consider that some people may enjoy some things that you don't! Although the comments and like/dislike and whatnot can communicate when most people aren't into it and we constantly try to learn and grow from this. The thumbnails are well addressed here - We have always been silly, we have always trolled, we have always made jokes, we have always pushed the bar, we have always tried new things. Sometimes we're too silly. Somtimes we troll a little too much. Sometimes our jokes aren't funny. Somtimes we drop the bar. Sometimes the things we choose to try are not the right things. And we will continue to do all of these things, we will continue to make mistakes, but we will also make a ton of awesome content while doing so. Thanks for watching and hopefully the future of our content pleases you more
