Grandma having her phone not charging, tell her to go buy a new charger that fits it Mirco USB, show her a picture (looks like this). She then phones me later that the charger does not work... She sent me a picture, and she had bought and old 40 pin iPhone charger, cause it was on clearance so it should fit, but it's an modern Android phone with Micro USB. It in no way could imaginably fit the phone cmon...
Tell her to return it have that happen a few time more... I then proceed to buy one myself and drive 2 hours just to deliver her a new one...

Just set it up to run for the time i'm out of the house, cheers for bringing this to attention.

Thanks man, was really looking for it.

Any plans for there being a NAW show archive at all, on Floatplane? Linus wasn't wrong on yesterdays show, about the audio quality (Floatplane >> YouTube). Unless I'm missing something, it does make sense to be able to enjoy it in all its floaty, planey goodness. And I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that rarely get to catch the live stream; it runs at like 3.30AM here, and generally between 2-4/5AM across Europe. 

Is there any chance we´ll get Floatplane "quality" archive of the WAN show over on Floatplane? Cause that beard hair tho...

If it´s a Small form factor and doesn´t weight too much, it´s fine.
I´ve done it a few times just got a few Glaring looks at why i´m bringing a Pc, but no problems.

These are changes to Community Guidelines Strikes, and NOT Copyright Strikes. Community guidelines strikes and copyright strikes are completely separate and don't overlap. You DO NOT receive community guidelines strikes for uploading copyright content, and you do not receive copyright strikes for breaking the rules. Community guidelines strikes are for when you break the rules unrelated to uploading copyrighted content. Like uploading a video of a dead body in a forest in Japan, for a totally made up from the top of my head example.
 
They even explain this in the article that was originally linked!:
Come on guys, please don't spread this kind of misinformation.

I think in this case, there's a lot of people conflating automated Content ID matches with manual claims or DMCA takedowns, particularly when using language like "slander". While it's not worth arguing with the folks carrying the pitchforks, it is worth preventing more pitchforks from popping up by making the truth known.
 
Now, is Linus right to start pointing at things like EU law? Maybe, maybe not. It's a theory, one that seems to coincide with the increase in false ID matches. But is it YouTube or is it Fullscreen? Something must have tweaked to make it more sensitive, but YouTube doesn't really tell anyone anything when they tweak things like that, and as Linus mentioned on WAN show, our relationship with Fullscreen is... Very hands-off. It seems some calls will need to be made.
 
With all that said, I don't think the answer to this drama is to start pointing fingers at each other and screaming from the rooftops that so and so is being unfair, be that creators who have been affected or us getting the heat for it. It should be clear at this point that it wasn't an intentional change on our part, nor were the reports that claims were being made fake or malicious. To be clear, things could have been handled far better and I think everyone has a right to be upset about it, but I think the way to move forward is to accept that and get to the bottom of what happened and how to prevent it from continuing.
 
EDIT: Well, I think there's one that's becoming malicious, but that could just be drama milking. Don't hate the player, etc etc.

To be clear bud, a youtube contentid claim isnt acutally a dmca takedown, or even legally binding, its a youtube thing not backed by any law, dmca doesnt even have stuff for covering what content id does.

You seem to be misinformed. There's a HUGE difference between a copyright claim and a takedown notice resulting in a copyright strike.

Copyright claims, which is what has happened here to The Linux Gamer are often an automatic process where Content ID detects that a portion of your copyrighted content has appeared in another video on Youtube, and will issue a copyright claim on the video. The video remains public and viewable by the viewers, however any ad revenue generated by the video may be redirected to the original copyright holder. There's no punishment for the channel when a copyright claim is made against them, they will just lose the revenue for the video.

Copyright strikes or takedown notices, which is what The Verge did, are when they manually issue a legal notice that a video is infringing on their copyright and that they demand the video be removed from the platform. The channel will then receive a copyright strike against their channel which comes with punishments for the channel, such as losing their ability to live stream or perhaps no longer being 'recommended' or promoted in the search results or feed which can severely hurt the channels traffic and views. If they are issued with multiple copyright strikes, their channel can be removed completely.

What The Verge did was malicious and was purely because they didn't like what Bitwit was saying. What happened to The Linux Gamer is just the result of an automated system, and it appears the MCN Fullscreen has swiftly corrected the mistake and the video is no longer claimed.

This is an excellent explanation of how these things work. 
 
I'd like to add that as long as the creator who gets the automated claim disputes it in a timely manner, there is no lost revenue during the period while it was "claimed". 
 
I've been down at IBM Think for the last couple of days and this thread is the first I'm hearing of this issue.. Aaaand it's already resolved. 
 
So, as far as I can tell, everything is working as it should...ish
 
We have noticed a significant uptick in copyright claims in the last couple of weeks, though, with some of them being in really really old content which suggests youtube has made some kind of change to ContentID and we've been trying to figure out how to address it.
 
We are generally pretty supportive of the creation of derivative works by our community and we want to make sure that they aren't being algorithmically claimed, but this change has caused other issues for us too. I woke up the other morning to a handful of claims made against Tech Quickie by LTT... Can't have that. 
 
I'm sure this will be resolved, but it's probably going to take some time for youtube to get their crap in order, as usual. 

would love to see WAN Show archive on Floatplane , I can never make it live due to the time.

Yes it works, we´re having some -30c weather here right now so i decided to give a go at using the cold air to cool my computer. I put my computer outside on the window ledge, strapped in with a bungie cord, the temps got down to the 20´s, but with some condesation growing on it after a few hours of gaming.
So it works for a while until you run the risk of shorting it out withe the condensation.
