I dont watch alot of LTT these days (mostly because of other priorities), but I do listen to WAN and I did watch this video. I will say that as a People Leader/Manager myself, it is good that Linus and team are owning up to their mistakes (and also having someone that has corporate experience leading (did not realize how big LMG is these days) will put them in a better place). People both casual and professional watch yalls videos. I remember learning how to build a PC 7 years ago on here when I was in high school. Then in college I had professors showing TechQuickie in class. To ensure everything is 100% accurate, is a task (especially with technology changing) but it needs to be atleast mostly there so that newbies have a reference of what is happening. As for the water block getting out, that was a failure that could of been prevented if a vacation response and/or mail forwarding or the like was in place. A idea is to even have a ticketing system in place with vendors/partners that if they email a shared inbox it can assign it to a ticket queue, so that logistics/writing can look into it and be able to assist if that writer is out of office (or ensure proper permission for pre-release product is obtained before auctioning off). At the end of the day, it seems like yall will get everything ironed out and will learn from this. I do wish yall the best on this. The community will appreciate this in the future (some might be mad video output is down, but this break is necessary). Also P.S: @nicklmg I am waiting for more screwdriver colors to be in stock.

From my experience after growing up with Windows and tinkering with some Linux, once you try MacOS as a daily driver it "just works." I say that because even though I had used MacOS a few times in school growing up (some classrooms had the old Macbooks (like 08ish) instead of Windows laptops when I was in middle and Jr High and then in college there were a few Mac labs I had used), I didn't care for using MacOS. Then last Summer I had some extra money and bought a Macbook Air M1 to see what it was about and while there are some complaints I have about the M1 software capability the rest of it just works due to the closed end system and it being one of the last Unix-based OSes. I have had less crashes than I did with Windows in the same time period. I liked it so much I even bought a M1 Mac Mini for my new HTPC. Another thing I like is the integration Apples other services and devices (with makes Airplay and connecting to things like Airpods much easier). Also iMessage and Facetime is a big deal too. Edit: I also forgot to point out that doing dev work also works more seamlessly on a Mac compared to Windows.

What I use is a Lifetime Plex Pass on my HTPC (which is a Mac Mini), a HDHomeRun, a TV antenna (I currently live in a big metro area so I get like 36 local channels, and a subscription to Sling and have no issues. I'm surprised Slingboxes are/were still supported recently. I suggest buying a HDHomerun and using Plex Pass (this is the simplest solution) or move to a solution like Sling or Direct TV Stream (or whatever it is called now). Certain providers also provide TV on the Go (I know Cox, Spectrum, and Comast do) via their TV app or via signing into the individual networks TV apps.

Essentally it is a longer form tweet. Kinda like a news article or a paper. I used to blog sometimes in recent years (and when I was younger) but kinda stopped and took posts down (mostly due to professional and personal reasons even though the posts weren't "bad").

Not necessarily, depending on how the company and trademarks and other IPs were sold off most than likely it is being used for someones' business and there is no connection to the old NCIX. That's like how Circuit City exists again (online only) and they have nothing to do with the old company (in fact I read something a couple years back there were still a few trustees still working on closing out the old company). What was weird about that is on their about page (https://www.circuitcity.com/about) they used to show a picture a retail location from the old company and mentioned it too. EDIT: Found the pic of an old Circuit City retail location on their corporate site and it just simply a picture. http://circuitcitycorporation.com/

So I went to the NCIS US site today to see if it is running and it looks like someone is building a website on it. https://www.ncixus.com/ Also note Ncix.com is still down and Ncix.ca still sends you to Amazon.

@LinusTech Have you thought about partnering with Nalgene and doing a bottle with them?

It's working for me now too. I'm in the same boat as you with the difference being my subscription is good til Nov though.

Well Floatplane isn't working for me either. The first time I loaded it I got a CloudFlare error (Dallas is closest to me), then the second time it's stuck loading at this (see attached). @Slick @AJJaxNet Is FP down?

My point was that unlike up there in Canada, US companies aren't required/pressured to do things like what happens up there. I know about finding a company that treats you well and such. My college has career services for free that helps students/alumni with jobs, plus I know people that have given me/offered me advise for jobs.

My state (veries by state but Alot of the 50 states have the same laws) basically says it's up to the employer and gives "suggestions." My state is also "at-will" meaning they can fire you anytime for any reason (no probation period). The only way around the "at-will" is have a union (which is frowned at by most employers now, I personally have mixed feelings on them myself). Even other benefits/health insurance are kinda whatever too. I think it's neat hearing about other countries laws you don't normally hear about. I'm kinda jealous of y'all now.

I guess the US is about that money and time then. Some employers still do holiday pay but that is getting less and leas common here.

YOU GUY GET OFF FOR HOLIDAYS??? I say that because it still blows my mind you guys are required to be off on standard holidays. Here in the US the only people that are get off for standard holidays are government employees, banks (I guess because technically the FDIC is closed on holidays), and usually people that work education (if the school or such is closed). The private sector isn't required to be off (this varies by state). Working retail for the last 2.5 years has ruined holidays for me (I may be off of school, but then that typically means I am working) (my employer is only closed on Christmas). It also blows my mind that maturity leave is so long up there too.

Honestly either one will work and there are great deals on used ones online (r/HardwareSwap and Ebay are two). I am still running a 1070 Strix in my PC almost 2 years later (bought it new for $370ish, now currently can be picked up used on Ebay for $250ish). I just looked up a 1080 and those can be picked up on Ebay for $300-400 USD. The RTX 2060 is around $400 and unless you need RayTracing I suggest going for last gen for better price/performance.

I figured as such. I personally don't read Privacy Policy's for the most part (there are some exceptions) and I figured that you guys use the tracking data internally. Even with my website (It's mostly a personal blog where I write long posts and where I can share projects I've done (It's a Linux server with cPanel, so I have flexibility)) I used the standard Privacy Policy from Wordpress (plus a few changes) and called it a day. Honestly, I pointed that out to the OP just so they can realize that even web hosting for a small website that is somewhat decent isn't cheap. I remember how Linus has said before about the Forum funds itself it makes sense there are Amazon ads on here. If people are concerned about privacy in general then maybe they should move to a place like the EU or not get on the internet. Richard Stallman (founded GNU) goes through great lengths to protect his privacy and it seems like a hassle. You give some freedoms up for exchange for others.

It's @LinusTech site, he and his team can do what they want. I personally have the Google tracker on my personal WordPress site. The Amazon is probably for ad revenue and affiliate links. TBH, I don't see why people get butt-hurt about these having trackers. If you don't like a particular site having info then run it in a container (Firefox has this feature) and call it good. I only do that for Facebook, because I know Amazon and Google both have their own cloud services so they know a thing or two about user data and how to keep it secure (that's why Google+ us shutting down because of a bug). Also to point out, I am a 2nd year IT major and so far from what I have learned so far about the web is that there is alot of things you can do with user data in order to make a site better and/or make money off of it. Without it every website online would charge you to just look at their site (web hosting isn't free). I pay $10 USD/month for my website plus around another $30-35 USD/year for my domain and the SSL certificate. I could host it myself but an internet connection with a static public IP address is more expensive (plus I would have to maintain the hardware) (the LAMP Stack is free to use in most cases). I'm also pointing out I own an Alexa and it can listen in (and see) on me in exchange for a handsfree assistant. My mom has both Alexas and Google and when I visit I use them too. I honestly don't care if they have my info in exchange to make my life easier.

You make a good point. Some states here in the US have made it illegal for the Tesla sales model (direct to customer sales instead of franchised dealers) (because of auto maker and dealer owner lobbying), so if your car breaks you may have to drive or ship it to a Tesla Service Center (because your mechanic can't fix a Tesla for the most part because of their closed system). Here in my state (Arkansas), the people that have Teslas (which I've seen more and more of, especially the Model 3) have to take them to St. Louis (closest people would be 4-5 hours away at least, 9-10 hours at most for most people in the state) because of our state laws. Also there is no super charger (just a Destination Charger in Central AR) in the state. Whereas for the most part the major auto makers (GM, Ford, FCA, Toyota, Nissan, Honda, and VW) can be found in within a 30 min to an hour and a half away in most of the state). Plus almost a hometown mancanic can work on them. Now if I go to somewhere more populas per square mile like the Tampa, Florida area (was there on vacation in 2018), you can find almost every car manufacturer with a dealership at least once, sometimes twice in that area. I can why places have laws banning Tesla's sales model. Here in the US, small businesses make up the economy in most places. While there are dealers that can rip you off, there are ones that give good deals too (got a great deal on my 2014 Rogue back in 2016) and the thing is if they really screw you over then you can simply take your business elsewhere which may force the dealer to go out of business or (the most likely) sell the dealership to the compitition. Also with these locally owned dealerships they usually can afford to give back to the community too. Tesla's model I think it is a great deal in some cases but when they get bigger they will need to have a franchised dealer option too. Rich Rebuilds talks about his nightmare about buying a used Tesla from Tesla online and it's been a multiple month process that started out with not knowing where his car is located to now having to fix the issues (mostly cosmetic) with the car. It even took them a minute to even send him pictures (there are stock ones on the listings). Tesla has a way to go. The traditional car makers have a way to go with electric too. For now I'm going to stick with a ICE vehicle for at least the next 8-10 years. There is still a way to go.

You can also search for this: And once you connect and stuff you should get this in your Explorer's Quick Access with two OneDrive Options (top is my school's, the bottom is personal): Just keep in mind that anything in your school's OneDrive the school can have access to and they don't have to guarantee storage. I have a tb but will never fill.

Remember ATT is faking 5G and is simply rebranding their areas that have faster LTE. They did the same thing (even got Apple to play along) when they were slow to roll out LTE by simply taking their faster 3g and rebranding it to 4G (on some devices it was HSPA+).

It is funny because I just bought an iPhone 7 last month and in the App Store, Apple is trying to get me to buy a XR.

Nope

Also @LinusTech, are we going to still have access to the Floatplane part of the fourm for discussion about videos? I (and others) prefer that over comments.
