I was concerned that Linus would be actually mining crypto, but that heel-turn into folding@home was sort of relieving.
I think that maybe the video should have been a couple minutes longer to better (re)introduce folding@home. And maybe seeing if that actually heated the room more.

Honestly, I only deal with Redbubble for its stickers. Anything else can be dubious as hell in quality as this video shows.
 
I've never looked for a backpack in this range. What even is out there?

doesn't make it untrue either
it's like Schrodinger's cat

Dennis did this before joining LTT
 
 

I saw this video on youtube and it was really funny.
IMO Dennis needs to make a full version of this

Sure, hosting your own internet is quite easy actually.
 
All you really need is a couple billion dollars, lots of workers, and a couple million dollars worth of fiber optic cabeling.

If you're talking about buying a bigass antenna off of craigslist and setting it up on their roof, OP is gonna have one hell of a ping time.

You could start a deal where you and a couple neighbors pay to have a higher bandwidth and everyone splits the check, also you could scale it by adding more bandwidth per person. The only downside when ISPs find out, it all goes away and you need to have ethernet/coaxial cables everywhere.

I plugged a 4 pin floppy connector into a CD aux connector on a sound card when I was quite young. The blue smoke that made the sound card work escaped.

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.

crowd fund for the 60ft pole? i mean you guys have had a history of going big (whole room water cooling,8gmaer 1cpu ect.) do it for your fans linus 

Look up Scrapyard Wars.

My friend thinks mods are only cheats, he plays console only.
Same kid that said he "haxed" XBOX and thinks ram makes a computer faster no matter what.
Peasants are hard to ascend sometimes.

Nice clickbait title.

Look up Scrapyard Wars.

The new forum launched and its still a bit of a work in progress.
 
I just wanted to make this thread to ask the general community how they feel about the new look and feel of the forum based from what they have seen so far.
 
I kiiiinda like it, I was used to the old look so I still need some getting used to it but its ok I guess. 
One thing I really don't like is how big the post count number is on the main page, it actually looks bigger than the thread text. And I consider post count to not be such an important thing that needs such a big size
 
Your suggestions? Feedback?
edit: I think the white window is too big. Like a 1-line post takes up - imo- way to much vertical space

I wanted it to replace my placeholder profile icon.
Nevermind, made one
