    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. 👀

    Here, employers have no choice. You want to stay open on a Holiday? Cool. Pay your employees time-and-a-half. Outside of retail/restaurants, most businesses will close on stat holidays in Canada.

    In Canada, for a Statutory (Mandatory) Holiday, you either:
     
    1. Get the day off, or
    2. Get paid 1.5x your normal wage
     
    Each province has their own set of Statutory Holidays - but they pretty much all have the same 6-8 base holidays, with minor variations here and there. For example, In BC, Remembrance Day is a Statutory Holiday. Whereas where I live, in Ontario, it's a non-statutory holiday. Very few (if any) places are closed, and no one gets bonus pay.
     
    On the flip side, Ontario is the only province that observes Boxing Day as a Statutory Holiday.

    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.

    This_guy1998 reacted to colonel_mortis in why does the LTT forum have Google and Amazon trackers on it?   
    The Amazon tracker is, as other have noted, for the Amazon ads. It is only included when an Amazon ad is displayed on the page (this means it's not included for Bronze/Silver/Gold contributors, who get no ads).
    The Google tracker is Google Analytics, and is used to monitor how the site is being used, to give a quantitative basis for future improvements.
    For what it's worth, per our Privacy Policy, we don't sell, trade or rent any of your data to third parties. Information that we gather is only used internally, for monitoring how the site is used and making it better.
    Amazon does collect some data, as governed by their Privacy Policy, and Amazon ads do help to offset the substantial costs of running the forum.

    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.

    Currently 53.3% of the internet agrees with you

     
    To me it was mostly bad next to the one important thing they brought up which was mental health and such things.
     
    HOWEVER later in the video they disclosed that the comment section should control rewind, if that is true, then guess what. The internet made rewind bad this year not YouTube ?
     
    at 5 minutes in I personally thing she underplayed what actually happened, maybe by googles request?

    Another problem in this case even the employees are/were owed $134,000 CAD according to their trustee https://www.bowragroup.com/bowra-netlink-computer
    The law hasn't caught up to the times sadly for computer data. I work for a major big box retailer here in the US while I'm in college and I know if the data from their main system (this is one telnet based program that probably runs on a mainframe (they are moving to a GUI for parts of it, but I got a feeling that it still uses this system as a backbone) mostly used everything from customer and store to employee data) were to get leaked they would be in deep water (don't ask how they have employees login any part of system there, it's bad but they claim it's safe, probably because of some of the illiterale employees is why it's super "simple" to login). This system has been continuously used since the early 1990s, and I'm surprised it hasn't been hacked yet (considering they have been laying off people from their ISD (even though they are trying to become an online company) for the last bit. What I"ve learned from a professor is that even with low level access to any system damage can be done.

    The bad thing about when a company goes into Brankruptcy (in this case very quickly), the servers are usually the last thing to be flipped off because they are needed to run the business while they are closing. Also NCIX couldn't afford to pay a systems administrator to wipe (or transfer to the trustees) the system after they closed. This is a common but sad reality.

    NCIX password. Retailers will never see your Paypal password.

    However, if you've used the same password for multiple services then you will need to change it.

    Because the law isn't caught up to this day and age. Plus who are you going to sue if the company went under and supposedly the owner might of left the contiant. Essentially the trustees responsibility is to liquidate assets (both physical and non-physical), pay off debt, and then make sure overall the business is wound down (things like acting as HR, basic Customer service, and such).
