Calling all local Vancouver residents!
 
We're hosting an invite-only Roast event for Linus on April 5th with Madrinas Coffee, running from 7pm - 10pm and we're looking for 20 lucky guests to join us as audience members! It's a theater-style event so all we need from you is to show up, chill, watch, and react. 
 
If you're interested in attending as a special guest of ours, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/5uSZhwh7f9ezmBu48 
 

This is an excellent explanation of how these things work. 
 
I'd like to add that as long as the creator who gets the automated claim disputes it in a timely manner, there is no lost revenue during the period while it was "claimed". 
 
I've been down at IBM Think for the last couple of days and this thread is the first I'm hearing of this issue.. Aaaand it's already resolved. 
 
So, as far as I can tell, everything is working as it should...ish
 
We have noticed a significant uptick in copyright claims in the last couple of weeks, though, with some of them being in really really old content which suggests youtube has made some kind of change to ContentID and we've been trying to figure out how to address it.
 
We are generally pretty supportive of the creation of derivative works by our community and we want to make sure that they aren't being algorithmically claimed, but this change has caused other issues for us too. I woke up the other morning to a handful of claims made against Tech Quickie by LTT... Can't have that. 
 
I'm sure this will be resolved, but it's probably going to take some time for youtube to get their crap in order, as usual.

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!

Sorry to burst your bubble and be that guy the 1.1.1.1 DNS does not increase your speed, it only increases the web loading time. 

Alright... first things first, definitely not us. Hopefully that was obvious. I've seen a lot of this scam stuff popping back up on YouTube, so not necessarily surprised that this is going on.
 
Can you clarify what platform you got this message on/what group you got added to? It looks like a Google Photos group?... The likely progression was probably:
 
Scammer finds commenters on one of our videos, adds them to a Google Photos group based on some weird expired Google+ backdoor that hasn't been closed yet
 
Notifies via email through the Google Photos group (hence the "noreply-rewyihopqtewtewl@google" address)
 
Unsuspecting people click on whatever BS link they send out and get scammed.

 
Here's some good guiding wisdom - if you see a giveaway that claims to be associated with us (or claims to be by us, it's pretty easy to download our logo and use our name) but it has not been mentioned on any of our social channels or within a YouTube video on our channel, it is fake and you should not respond. Even if it's within comments on our video, if it's not mentioned within the video or on one of our social channels, it is fake and you should not respond. If you cannot verify that an account claiming to be us is us, either through a link to it being found on our YouTube channel or through the actual follower count of the page, it is fake and you should not respond.
 
If you see someone claiming to be us but they're obviously fake, please take the time to report them. It really does help.
 
 
Hope that helps. If I'm somehow missing something here feel free to let me know.

Considering he showed it off 'accidentally' twice, I would say that it was intentional.

Nope, there would still be stuff reserved an probably some overhead to avoid unexpected crashes. 
 
Not giving the iGPU any memmory would result in no screenoutput through the iGPU. 
 
Its not a lot lost to windows and random bits like drivers. If you need more, second hand dimms are cheap. 

Forget the network, clear any DNS or options you have set, connect, use edge to open a non cached website and maybe then it'll pop up. Otherwise you might have to ask IT to enter in a custom DNS
