Doesn't mean they should operate like that, its a horrible market strategy.

Amazon: 
NCIX: 
 
We all know that running a virtual machine on your hardware has the potential to add some overhead to performance tasks... But can we quantify that overhead?
 
 
 

IT's late and I'm both hungry and tired from shooting Scrapyard Wars (which by the way is an LTT series and will be airing ad-supported on YouTube very soon for your viewing pleasure).
 
But there are a few points to address and you've already been patient enough.
 
I said LMG content would always be free. This was poor wording on my part. There has always been content produced by me and my team that was not necessarily available on a free platform like YouTube.
 
These "The Boost" videos that we make on contract as a sales training resource for Intel, for example:
 
 
 
In much the same way, Vessel has contracted LMG the production company to create an original series for their platform. They bankrolled the whole thing, giving us an opportunity to make something that otherwise would have been too costly, and per the licensing agreement they own the right to exploit this content. It's their show until such time as they decide it's not anymore.
 
We played more of a "production company" role in this than we're accustomed to.
 
This could, and SHOULD have been communicated better, and for that I'm sorry. The community should have heard about this from us FIRST, and not from a random email newsletter, but I've been (and so has the whole team) absolutely busting ass to not only get Nerd Sports produced, but also make sure that we're keeping up with everything else that we've got going on including not having missed a single day of LTT uploads for something like 5 years..
 
With that said, quantity isn't everything, and I've noticed that not everyone has appreciated the LTT content as much as usual lately, but it's hard for me to tell if that's because they don't like our new direction (fewer reviews, and more exploratory or experimental videos) or if they just saw a video or two they didn't like and raised hell in the comment section - it wouldn't be the first time.. And I will say, too, that honestly if a couple of the videos felt rushed then it's probably because they were.. HOWEVER, the primary reason for the rushed videos was  the entire week we're taking off this week to film Scrapyard Wars Season 4, which will be premiering on Vessel sometime in the next few weeks or so, followed by a release on YouTube 1 week later, which is the standard agreement for OUR content that is paid for by LMG or our sponsors.
 
Nerd Sports was shot 40% during evenings and weekends with employees taking time in lieu later on when we hire some more staff or when things slow down a little. We were careful to avoid disrupting any of our other commitments because imo you guys deserve the best we can deliver.
 
Which is another point that was brought up in this thread - "How will LMG keep its commitment to maintain the pace and quality of the other content if they're making Nerd Sports or other contractual content?"
 
We couldn't. We're hiring.
 
I've never shied away from investing in more staff or better equipment or a better facility to make sure that we're doing our best for ourselves, each other, our sponsors and our viewers. If we play our cards right, absolutely everyone wins.
 
Nerd Sports has been a fantastic learning experience for us, and whether we continue the series with Vessel, create other completely different web series in the future, or just say "fudge it" and flip burgers from now on, we'll be able to do those things better than we could have without having done this.
 
So bottom line is this. I screwed up the way I communicated "LMG content", which was meant to be content funded BY Linus Media Group rather than content funded entirely by and licensed to a 3rd party, and I screwed up in a MUCH bigger way the LACK of communication about this project. Sorry guys.

It's in the Twitch archive. http://www.twitch.tv/linustech/v/32893123

Try a can of compressed air first, as that won't damage anything, and the airflow may be enough to blow it out.
If that doesn't work, the only thing to do is use a needle or dental pick and gently drag it up.
 
If you're careful, you won't damage anything. Those jacks are tougher than they look.

Edzel is awesome.
 
Yes.

Should Edzel host more episodes of linus tech tips

Title. Post your Christmas tree here.

If anyone makes fun of you, you probably know what will happen, especially since I'm following the thread.

Yeah, sorry there are no lanyards at the moment
 
Funny side note.. We missed a huge opportunity to call it a WANyard..

Neither. I would buy a Thinkpad.

Nice!
 
I agree that the W A & N feel a little blurry - probably the geometry rendering in Blender. I know when I worked at high resolutions in Cinema 4D, you had to do a lot to make it not look blurry.

You have saved me time searching for/asking about about a reliable plugin, thank you.

Chrometana is an extension I use for Chrome that redirects all web searching from Windows 10 and Cortana to Google search instead of the Abomination knows as Bing.

50:10 Linus uses Windows 10 search and is brought to Micro$haft's search engine Abomination.

 
 

Don't worry bro, Slick's got you covered.

LukeTim on the quick draw with them LTT vids. What a pro. 

Look into a Lenovo Thinkpad x201/t410/t510 depending on preferred screen size. The older thinkpads are awesome laptops and will last for many more years.

PC Part Picker launched a new website recently: https://portablepicker.com/ This will give more information than I will be able to give to you
 
With Kind Regards,
Sam

this and a couple other forums are my only "social media" 
 
I guess now that I think about it, I usually just start going through the forums and I usually dont make it to the video of the day until I come across several references to it.
 
 I think I'm doing it wrong lol

There will be a WAN show, it will be recorded on the thursday
 
will probably be "a year in review" style

I hope something happens, I need my weekly fix...

Great, I'm glad it worked & post back if you have any more problems.

Hey guys,
Just want some community feedback on this. Most of these things are already in the queue to some degree. Just trying to prioritize...
