    Taubin reacted to Slick in Floatplane Subscriptions & Migrating to Floatplane.com   
    As you may have heard we'll be moving all subscriptions off the LTT Forums and on to Floatplane.com. You will no longer be able to subscribe through the forum AND all billing agreements made through the forum will be cut off. At this time we request that all users cancel their subscriptions on the forum and start new subscriptions on Floatplane.com.
     
    Subscriptions done through the forum have been a major accounting problem for a long time now as the forums billing agreements have all been with Linus Media Group instead of Floatplane media which is an accounting nightmare that we are going to try to avoid in 2019.
     
    As a gift for dealing with the hassle of migrating things over, and to cover any time you had left on your subscription, we will be granting two bonus months to all creators that you are subscribed to on Floatplane.com AND you’ll gain access to an exclusive live chat emoji all on January 31st.
     
    Steps to migrate successfully:
    1) Cancel your subscription on the LTT Forum 

    Method 1, Cancelling through the Forum:
      Hide contents  
    Go to this link: https://linustechtips.com/main/clients/billing-agreements/
    click view details(on the right)
    Click on view(on the right)
    Then click cancel(on the left)
     
    These steps are correct for most people but sometimes the cancel button is sneaky and decides to be somewhere else or isn't there at all.. This is another reason we are moving away from the LTT forums as we can't fix some of the payments problems. If these steps don't work for you please move on to Method 2.
     

    Method 2, Cancelling through PayPal:
      Hide contents  
    Go to this link: https://www.paypal.com/myaccount/autopay/
    Scroll through your active autopays and click on 'Linus'.
    On the right hand side there should be a Status row that shows 'Active'  Click the 'Cancel' Button beside it.
    Click 'Cancel Automatic Payments' on the next popup.
    If this fails for whatever reason.. Move on to method 3.
     
     
    Method 3(Last Resort), Sudo cancel subscription:
      Hide contents  
    Send an email to support@floatplane.com
    Let them know your forum Username/Email and they'll take care of you. Just a heads up that the wait time will be higher than normal as we are receiving a lot of support tickets right now.
     
     
    2) Create or sign in to your existing Floatplane.com account, you can use a forum linked account, that's no problem at all. 
     
    3) Subscribe to whatever creators you want to support. https://www.floatplane.com/browse
     
    4) Sit back and enjoy the content!
     
    5) If you had a yearly subscription – Please send an email to support@floatplane.com with your forum account name and your floatplane account name. They will make sure you get the time you had remaining on your forum subscription added to your new floatplane website subscription.

    Yearly options on the new site are not available at this time but will be soon. 
     
    If all else fails.. Just send an email to support@floatplane.com with any relevant account names, emails, etc. and we'll have you taken care as soon as possible!
     
    Thanks!

    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.
     
     
    Click on the header for your desired setup to see the actual DIY steps.

    Taubin reacted to nicklmg in 3 MILLION SUBSCRIBER GIVEAWAY   
    THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR BRINGING US TO 3 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS ON YOUTUBE!!
     
    Y'all are bae. That's why we've partnered up with Razer to give away one NEW Razer Blade 14, and one NEW Razer Blade Stealth (full specs listed in the announcement video), with a custom graphic designed by our very own Edzel Yago  .
     
    RULES OF THE GIVEAWAY:
     
    1. One entry per user. Duplicate posts and posts from duplicate accounts will be deleted before a winner is drawn, to leave one post per person.
     
    2. Winners will have 72 hours to respond. If a winner does not respond within that time, a new winner will be drawn.
     
    3. This is a worldwide giveaway with no age restrictions. Shipping costs will be covered by the shipper, but any duties/taxes/other fees upon delivery will be the sole responsibility of the winner.
     
     
    Alright, now that we've got that out of the way, OMG THIS IS AWESOME HOW DO I WIN ONE???:
     
    1. Comment below letting us know which Razer laptop you would prefer to win. Feel free to make it fun - what would you use it for? Why do you prefer the Blade or the Blade Stealth?
     
    2. This is not a REQUIREMENT for entry, but you should definitely follow Razer on Twitter and subscribe to their YouTube page. In addition to providing the laptops for this awesome giveaway AND sponsoring our trip to PAX, they work with a plethora of other incredible creators in a number of spaces, and release cool content with some of them on a fairly regular basis. Please support them on social media and Tweet at them thanking them for this giveaway!!
     
    3. Check back in one week. Entries for this giveaway will close on Monday, September 12, and winners will be chosen soon after. Winners will be messaged by me here on the forum. Do not accept any other form of communication as legitimate, and do not share personal information with anyone who asks for it unless you can confirm that they are a legitimate source.
     
    That's it!! If I've missed anything, feel free to let me know.


    GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE ENTERING, AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT ON THIS CRAZY JOURNEY
     
     
    EDIT:
     
    Alright, we have selected our winners!!!
     
    @Plavi and @willp3, you have 72 hours to respond to the DMs I am sending you right now. If we do not receive a reply in that time, new winners will be chosen! Since both said that the Blade would be their choice, it's on a "first replied first served" basis. (for clarity - what this means is that the first winner to reply will get their choice between the two laptops, and the second winner to reply will get the laptop that the first winner did not choose. This does not mean that we're only giving away one laptop...)
     
    Thanks everyone.
     
     
    EDIT2:
     
    Alright, so @Plavi has officially claimed the New Blade! Congrats on winning

    But, unfortunately for @willp3, he did not respond in time to claim his prize...

    Our new Blade Stealth winner is @ted542! Check your inbox, you have 72 hours to reply
     
     
    EDIT3:
     
    Both laptops have now been claimed. Thanks for participating in this awesome giveaway, and please be sure to keep an eye out for giveaways in the future!
     
     
    Please don't report posts in this topic - all duplicates will be handled before drawing, so if you have double posted, don't worry about it.
