Congrats! You're gonna be a great dad. 

First put down your phone or any other gadgets and spend more time with your kid. 

Im not sure if this was sarcastic, or a "joke" or serious....but if it's the latter...the kid is not born yet...do not even think for a second that a piece of hardware will be more important than my own child. What I am asking for is any hardware that would make life easier when I have a child not a distraction from it. 

anyway..
 

Thanks for all the suggestions and well wishes, myself and my other half appreciate it, alot of these things I have or am planning to do, so I think i'll be set, the dipper change light is a really great idea, that im going to do, and the smart mirror sounds like a fun project, so thanks guys really nice hearing from the other Dads, thank you all again =) 

Wow, thank you for all the support and PM's Iv gotten, you guys are awesome, some fantastic tips here, and im up for any advise, I have 6-8 tablets already (I buy them cheap off facebook and repair them) I also have 2 amazon echo's and I was in the middle of upgrading all my lights, the tip about the nappy change is fantastic and is one i'll defiantly set up (the hue lights) , the toys and things im buying mostly second hand due to the cost and outgrowing them quickly, I will have to invest in a baby monitor (any recommendations?)

I know I wont have time for alot of the things I usually do or the money, but im looking forward to the challenge, these tips are fantastic guys, really thank you so much. Such a great community.

This might even make a great video for linus "tech for new parents" being a Dad himself.

again thank you for all the tips please keep them coming =)

Pregnancy was planned but thanks for the advice...

Congrats!

 

I'm not a dad but I lived with one with their kid from age 0.5-3. The only thing they really bought that was techy and for parents was a video baby monitor. Seemed to work just fine for them.

 

I will leave you with this though: buy a tech item if you're already committed to the function it's supposed to be augmenting. Don't buy something thinking you'll commit to said function. Like one thing my roommate got was a baby bullet because they wanted to make food from fresh food. They never used it. I'm sure if they were already making food for their baby they might've used it.

thanks buddy =), and yeah great advice having to change a routine because of the item means its already failed , will definitely keep that in mind

So yeah, I've just learnt im gonna be a father, so exciting! so my question is, what do other dads on here use tech wise to help in their lifes, if any, or are you all old school?

Worded that bit wrong. Meant to say that you are bringing this up now when best place would have been question it when moving was happening back in summer 2015. Still, you should pressure those who know more. You paid for something and was left without. Nick and Colton have gone after sponsors for less.

yeah I guess, its been so long now I guess I'll not get a response though ( I have tried before) so meh, like I said not complaining as such, was just happy to help the guys move and was looking forward to a mention, anyway was a long time ago so not alot can be done now I guess, maybe It was my fault and I missed a post or something, oh well =)

I would say bit late to complain. Email I got dates to Feb 25th, 2015. But I would still pursue this with Nick or Linus. They must have all the links to videos somewhere. If it was made. And if not, it takes like 5mins from Linus to record and upload. (My #00068 is only 28 secs long)

not complaining just commenting, I'd forgotten about it until I saw this post...

Mmm... I can't remember was there few different types? I have personal thanks video, but was there also one for giving greetings on official video? I don't remember that happening to anybody, other than in WAN Shows with news topics or some other odd reason.

I can't remember, I just know if I donated so much I'd get a personal video, never got a thing =/ . was kinda disappointed tbh =( 

I never got my name in a video mention either....=( 

All Parts now available....

Part 2 Now Up

So freaking cool! Thanks dude now I just need to find the timestamp where Bob grabs the mic from Linus and talks with his respirator still on! 

Hey dude, you're more than welcome =) 

Just now, dronebynsa said:

I don't know who shot this, but the fact that Linus is just as passive aggressive with them too is hilarious... At "28:00" he goes "don't worry cameraman, I will wait for you I won't jump ahead again -- I'm not a terrible person." or something along those lines lol...

 

Btw, I know the rest of the comments are about uploading/changing the video... but I wanted to say thanks. This is cool, I've never seen it before.  Thanks for being committed to get this up!

Seriously dude...you are welcome , thank you =)

How are you exporting your video files? What export settings do you use? I generally use the H.264 codec and export to mp4 and it works like butter. 

the file is MKV, and i tried  H.264, AVI,Mpeg,MP4, But im not 100% ..(or even 0.01%) sure what im doing tbh, i'll give it another go 

@Mutoh  just tried again and its working...so fingers crossed

EDIT 2 - nope scratch that doesn't do anything....just sits at 0% 

TBH I really don't care, its to much hassle now to mess around with it.... so either watch it or don't... I'm not wasting more hours trying to get it to work, so take it or leave it

Thanks for the upload but why didnt you use something like Hitfilm, Resolve or Shotcut to cut the video? I havent had any issues with them crashing with big files. Theyre all free and do the same thing you've done with Filmora without the water mark as well.

 ....fine i'll try again
Iv never done any editing or anything like that, I tried 6 different programs all would crash, it would get to 50-60% then just freeze, dont know why =(  i'll try it again at the weekend ...but yeah in the meantime,... this is what you've got.. so if you dont want the watermarked version,. then feel free to wait.. but like it said I believe Im the only one with the full stream and it's taken me this long to try and split it and upload it...so I wouldn't hold your breath.


EDIT - trying shotcut now =) 

Edit 2 -  @Mutoh
Resolve - crashed
shotcut - no idea just said failed stright away

Hitfilm - File not supported

If you still have the non watermark original I can split it up for you in premiere

I do but the problem would be the time it would take to upload it to you, it would take me nearly a week =( 

So after like 3 years of trying, I've finally gotten around to uploading the complete MOD 24 Nvidia Event that happened on the release of the GTX 980, I recorded it directly from twitch

no copyright is intended but I wanted to let people see it if you missed it. -  LOVE BS MODS!!!

Linus and Luke host for nearish 18-19 hours, it was a really fun watch IMO. 

All sound / video problems are what happened on stream.

Also part one is fully uploaded its 11 and half hours long , im uploading part 2 now that will be 6 hours long, and then in around 6 hours i'll upload the last part that is 6 1/2 hours long, 

ALL PARTS NOW UPLOADED 

i had to use a free trial software to split the file as all the ones that did not leave a watermark would crash ( the original file is just under 200gb ) so had to split it and convert it because youtube wouldnt let me upload it , I tried a long time ago uploading in 10 minute chunks but gave up as it was just taking so long. 

Anyway sorry for the watermark but its that or nothing, hope you all enjoy it 

PS just for clarity the stream does start off with all the event windows but after 10-15 mins it's JUST the Mod 24 view -- I messed up recording the first part =/ 
@LinusTech  @rodrosenberg

Because providing someone with false information is worse than not giving them any information at all.

^This is the whole thing in a nutshell I think.

Nope, it installed easily on my machine. Just use the Cloudready installer program for Windows and it'll make a bootable USB drive. It works fine with a mechanical hard drive (an old slow 80GB 2.5" drive), so it should work faster on your machine. Let me know if you need hep with it. 

Thanks alot man! 

 cost £2 from a facebook seller, because the power port was damaged, bought a new one for £7.50, and bought an adapter from amazon for £12 thought it was a bargain!

Dell P24T

^I have this one, was worth every penny, in my opinion, great bit of kit, it even upped my internet speed by by a good 60% I was downloading on steam at 3.5Mb on my ISP router, bought this and in a couple of days I was up to 7.9Mb , really happy with it, 

sorry I cant help you with your issue but hope it helps anyways =)

It would be more than fine. I use Cloudready on a first gen mobile Core i3. 

Great! thank you!, any tips or steps to look out for when installing?

So I bought a dell P24T notebook from someone on facebook for £2 because the power socket was broken, I ordered a new one put it in and had to buy a universal adapter...the adapter works but not properly so iv ordered an actual AC adapter for the notebook, not a universal multi adapter.. see if that charges the battery, anyway, because the specs (mainly the HDD 34Gb) is tiny it comes with windows 10 on it, but I thought about putting chromium os on and turning it into a chromebook, why?...well why not, not done it before and messing with this stuff is fun, so just seeing if chromium os would be ok for this device and wont be a slow mess or should I stick to windows? 

and yes linux is an option, but i will do that when I buy another cheap laptop

and in total this notebook cost me £24 , about $30 

so quite happy with that =) 

its the cheap one in this video

Lmao, still on facebook?

 

Anyone who takes advice on facebook, it is his/her fault.

I never said I was at the receiving end I said I saw it...I only have facebook for buying and selling groups...get some really awesome stuff for next to nothing =)

To be blatantly honest, some folks are just utter nerds with no social skills whatsoever. Highly opinionated individuals. You'll find they are like that in real life too. I worked with one guy and he talked like a robot and any notion of another way of doing something or an idea that was different to his was met with a child-like "no, no you're wrong".  Some folks just take linear thinking to a whole new level, so don't bother with people like that. Source your information from elsewhere, there is ample help out there.

I see, I didn't really think of it like that, but how can they function in the world like that?, or is it they cant so vent online with no real consequences?
