I agree with a lot of what you say, but it's incomplete. Steve's analysis re. the stress and errors resulting from an overly-tight production schedule was spot on, imho. A lot of staff interviewees said as much in the recent video re. working for LMG. And for a post-startup in the accelerate phase, that's not necessarily unusual. However, many young companies misjudge the correct pace/step change of that acceleration when they first encounter it, and can get locked into a cycle thinking they have to operate that way, when in reality survival is possible (and more probable) doing slightly less, better. Unintentionally burning out yourself and the workforce is also not conducive to sustainability. Often with male tech CEOs, that frantic pace and a tendency to overreach is fundamentally related to various aspects of male psychology. That's all part of the issue. The other half of the equation, for me, is getting better at emotional intelligence. The infamous 'hot takes', knee-jerk quickfire judgements or opinions which by their nature are incompletely evidenced, might be meme-able and light-hearted on the one hand, but they also suggest a tendency toward hot-headedness, or worse, hubris. Neither of these traits command respect, and instances of them rearing their ugly heads are always cringeworthy on screen. They're personality flaws that self-aware leaders should be trying to work on and eliminate, rather than revel in. On this occasion, the scale of the knee-jerk defence posture and the rhetoric surrounding it are baffling and surprising. Every tech CEO gets at least one of these crises where for a moment, ego takes full control, they believe all of their own hype, say something silly in an emotional state, then have to swallow their pride and do the embarrassing climbdown / public apology. A greater degree of emotional intelligence could really have helped here. Knowing when to mentally step back, assess, and reinstate calm before responding could avert so many public missteps. It's not a skill prevalent among men in their 30s, let alone 30-something male tech CEOs, but it should be a requirement of the role. Sure, we can all do something stupid and apologise later, eat the humble pie, etc., but damage will have been done which was entirely avoidable had the inflicter spent a little more time on introspection. Breaking stuff and saying sorry as if that makes it fine is what we do when we're young and petulant. Finding humility, learning to listen, banishing pride, recognising your flaws, and resolving to fix them so you stop breaking things in the first place? That's grown-up behaviour, and it speaks to an inner wisdom which effortlessly commands trust and respect in those around you. Often on WAN, Linus and Luke mention being in their 30s and how old they suddenly feel. Ironically, I spend most of those moments thinking "If you only knew how young you sound." 🙂

I've found this whole affair quite bizarre and it has shaken my faith in LTT - a channel I've always loved and recommended - but I know it can be repaired. I wish to continue supporting the channel for many more years, so I dearly hope now we'll see some humility, atonement, and some level-headed, logical damage control. GN's video must have felt like a kick in the, well, in most places I guess,  but I suspect the vehemence of the reaction to it might be explained precisely because it highlighted publicly something that was already feared internally - that mistakes are being made, because things are moving too fast. I hope LTT takes this as a wake-up call and recentralises around its people to take better account of their needs and concerns. Some slight deceleration is required, but don't fear it. Those excellent humans, as the CEO well knows, are integral to the channel's success. Listen to them please - they're also your family (not Colton no). Content pays the bills, sure, but in a few decades from now, nobody retired from LTT will be fondly reminiscing about x million views on Video A, B or C. They'll be smiling as they recall how much they laughed, and with whom, while they were making it.

Thanks for the concern everyone. We are still in recovery mode over here and working with YouTube to get everything restored. Will hopefully have a video (or at least an update on WAN Show) to share with you all ASAP, but we want to make sure we get the details right since smaller channels may rely on our experience to help harden their own security.

Just want to throw out there, length is normally a big concern with shirts this size. A lot of brands add width but neglect to add length.

It'd be a shame if you guys didn't swap out the lids on those hard drives for some acrylic. Gotta see those platters spin baby!

We already have a team that subtitles our videos in Chinese  they release to Chinese sites.
 
While it's true that there are MANY people in India that speak English, 125 million is still a relatively limited percentage of India's total population. A 2001 census said that 550 million people in India spoke Hindi as their first, second, or third language. So if we're able to triple (or more) our impact within that country that would be a pretty massive thing.

This is my 2nd time going to LTX, and I 100% plan to buy VIP again next year. The cool thing about it is, you get the whole experience. I have no complaints about LTX, I mean I even got to meet JayZTwoCents, Barnacules, Louis Rossmann, the list goes on. I recommens to anyone who thinks they can afford, or should start saving now, should come to LTX 2019. The auctions are awesome, the games are lit, meeting the team in general is just fun. Now I thought I would show sum of these pictures. Thank you Colton and Linus, and the rest of the team for hosting again this year. Me and my friend plan to come next year, so we will be waiting. Thank you for giving me the best time of my life. 

The Dude and I had a great day, thanks to everyone at LTT (and Floatplane Media, and special guests) for making it happen.
 

Legend. 

 

The Queens have been really letting us down lately. 
 
Glad you guys enjoyed it, we sure did too!

Edzel: What's the most extreme or ridiculous thing you've had to do to a coworker to push production forward?
 
Nick: Cake or pie?
 
Linus: What fantasy/sci fi piece of future tech are you yearning to see in reality?

Will you have the WAN hoodies in all sizes? I missed my chance to get one when they were out before, I need to get my hands on one now.

If we're being honest, it's not great. They have pay parking (We have to pay for parking too lol) but there ARE areas with free parking around the Oval. The area AFAIK is pretty safe so I wouldn't worry about parking anywhere in the immediate area.

NOT INTERESTED?!?!?! JK, yeah we'll be posting at least one, if not two unboxing videos from the event.

Haha almost as tall as me, and no, should be all good.

Yes.  
So far we've got Barnacules and Jay confirmed, working with some of the other guys now.

3 minutes, it turns out.
 
Thread locked. Please don't resurrect a topic which has been dead for a year.

Dudeeee how far were you digging lmao

Your floatplane memberships will be activated the week after LTX, apologies for not making this clearer earlier.
 
Looking forward to seeing you all at the event!  

I think I got everything... if you have any questions, ask below

The first step is to decide what you want your setup to be, as you'll need to know how many parts to order. There is a few different options, and once you've chosen, click on the parts list for your respective setup.
 
1. Single Camera w/o hub server
Parts list: Pros Least expensive setup Cons Lower attainable FPS/res 2. Single Camera w/ hub server - *RECOMMENDED*
Parts list: Pros allows for future expandability higher attainable FPS/res more reliable vs. no hub Cons costs more (you have to buy a second Raspi) 3. Multiple Cameras w/ hub server - *RECOMMENDED*
Parts list: Pros higher attainable FPS/res more reliable vs. no hub Cons cost (lol, 2 cameras + hub is still cheaper than a Nest cam) 4. Multiple cameras w/ a desktop computer as a hub
This is a setup that you can build, but I haven't investigated it yet, so stay tuned on this.  
My recommendation is to have a hub server regardless of the number of cameras to ensure the best possible image quality, but if your budget doesn't permit, a single camera w/o a hub server can still work decently.

As much as I want to buy some merch, every shirt I've purchased online has been made of incredibly low quality cotton that itches horribly or has had the written part start to peel off after a couple of (gentle) wash cycles.
