    KeppyKep reacted to Unixsystem in Vodafone Australia sharing location data with the government to fight coronavirus   
    Don't worry I'm sure that the governments of the world will be happy to discard all of their excess powers and give back all of the citizens their rights once this is all over. 
     
    Once everyone unilaterally agrees that it's safe. 
     
    At some indeterminate point in the future. 
     
    Maybe.

    One of Australia's largest Telcos is giving location data to the government to track people's movements.
    The other telcos are refusing to say whether they're also doing it and have no legal obligation to disclose.
    It's not as bad as the headline suggests. The data is not personal, and only shows the number of people in a given area at a given time. They've stated it will not be used to enforce self-isolation.
    Would be curious to hear Luke and Linus' thoughts on this kind of data usage on the next WAN show.

    i wouldn't install anything like that on a personal device, either get a super cheap chromebook purely for school, or request that the school provide you with a device because you're not willing to install such software on a personal computer.

    KeppyKep reacted to minibois in Two unlabelled sponsored showcases in a row   
    Linus has mentioned in the past they use 'Trello' (not sure where that was mentioned). They also use a somewhat complicated Google Spreadsheet for the main channel videos (see the video linked in the sponsor below as proof of that).
    But that is of course the main channel and not TechLinked, so we can't rule out Techlinked (or Netlinked Daily, from the NCIX days) hasn't always used Monday.
     
    Doesn't take away from the fact that I still feel it's kind of shitty this is a half sponsored ad/showcase and half a video.. When it is not tagged as such. Kind of makes it difficult to find in the future too (like the video linked below was).

    Linus and LMG seem really committed to being clear about sponsors and taking great care in their video titles.
    The various livestreams and discussions on the WAN show about this make their position clear.
    Which is why I'm highly disappointed that the two most recent videos ("How we make a video in one day" and "How did they fit a gaming PC in this") were labelled as regular videos. Both of them are the very definition of sponsor showcases. Linus has said many times that in regular videos the sponsor has nothing to do with the video topic, and if it does, then it's a showcase.
    I'm hoping this was just a once-off oversight (even though it's happened twice in a row).
     
    Plus sponsor showcases are supposed to be 'extra' content. I'm curious to see how many videos we get this week. Will we get the regular six in addition to these two showcases? Somehow I doubt it.

    Honestly, you look pretty set. CPU is fine for the GPU. 
    If you really want to upgrade something, you could get a bigger SSD or upgrade to a Z370 motherboard, so you can overclock the CPU.

    You made an over-priced build and basically picked the most expensive things. That's nothing new and I'm 100% sure you're not going to buy this at all.
    Additionally, why would you expect Linus to respond to a boring build like this?

    not much video in this, a commercial, a simple test of performance, opening and looking at it for a few secs.. and that was it.
     
    kinda disappointing. although binding something to a monitor, does not seem to be a really smart move, it would be nice, to be able to buy something like that as a package solution.

    Okay, I don't like how this video didn't have sponsored in the title. Whereas on Floatplane they do, seems like Floatplane users have that choice of avoiding no doubt because they're paying a fee for content and don't want to watch ads, whereas the youtube plebs even though I pay for YouTube red am not being informed what is an Ad on the channel or not until I've clicked it. That tells me more about the content right there, the fact that Floatplane users seem to have this allowance of skippability whereas youtube users are no doubt baited. Like, there was a decision at a higher level here to go, Put this as ponsored, this as non-sponsored until they click the video and we get that click/view.
     
    You had me for about a minute, so the retention was there and Monday.com was blasted in my face.
     

     
    You guys could do really well with this in just reviewing the Monday.com platform, if you use it like you say you use it, then do it in a normal LTT way, obviously since it's being used by you, an endorsement from you goes a long way rather than this obviously planned skit video. LTT sells content, I know what you guys do I know your workflow and I know how hard it is, instead I got a video of Riley going across the internet taking in all the news possible firing them into a doc and calling it job done, like, wow great.
     
    I'm really interested in mangers like this for in work, it's a big factor of my job to review platforms like this and see if we could be doing things better. This "different feeling" to everything else that you guys produce content doesn't sell me on it. It tells me that you are either hiding something or doing it for the dollar rather than being straight up.
     
    Which I get, you have to do. Maybe it isn't selling to me, but your audience having someone like me in it, which I feel is trying to sell to me, I mean it's a bunch of gamers, kids and enthuiests right? Who has the power in their workplace to change project management platforms, not many. If you want to keep doing this type of content, fair enough, let me know so I can skip it, else simply put I'm not a fan of being snaked like this so I will stop watching.
     
    Really, these videos just aren't my cup of tea, so I do skip over them. It seems obvious if I want to do that, I need to shell out for floatplane to do so. Maybe I'm the only one on this, but the number of times I've felt like this watching a video is only increasing, and I know you've had posts like mine on multiple videos before but it feels like either no one is listening or no one cares. You've got a ton of staff members and need to pay the bills. Somehow that's our fault and we now need to skip videos of yours we feel will be ads because you aren't telling us in the title.

    I also seen from the comments, you guys don't even use this!!!

    KeppyKep reacted to lewdicrous in How We Make a Video in ONE Day   
    I agree that it's getting out of hand, but I have a neat solution that'll no doubt work; don't watch those videos, that's what I do if the whole video is sponsored by just one company (the PIA video you mentioned, this video, etc) and I'm watching less and less because of the merch shit.
    There are a lot of channels on YouTube, some are more entertaining, some are more informative and some don't fucking remind you of their merch store every 5 minutes.
     
    As with the merch thing, I only see them stopping when/if it negatively impacts the sales, views, etc. It feels like they bit more than they could chew in regards to releasing a variety of designs that are way better than the old ones before they retired those and now they're just trying to clear their inventory. I kinda understand where they're coming from, but at the same time, it's really getting annoying. I wouldn't mind if it was at the beginning or end of the video, but not when it's in the middle.

    I feel like this one would legitimately be better placed on monday.com's channel, if they have one, and if it isn't already, or website even.... 
     
    It's so much more orientated to monday.com's target rather than the LTT audience.... The entire way it's produced.

    but they didn't put that *Sponsored Video tag in the video like they do with other sponsored video's. You should NEVER have to read the description to find out it's basically a 10 minute commercial.

    x1 slots use PCIe lanes from the chipset, not the CPU. So you're fine.
     
    Even then the GTX 1080 can go as low as PCIe 3.0 x4 without too much of a performance hit.
