    And that's a wrap ladles and gentlespoons
     
    Sorry for the delay in this, I got stoned and started listening to Lo-Fi and lost track of time. That is, we are over, yes there is a mix up with the end date so a show of goodwill we are reducing the min days requirement down to 19, so no one misses out due to my mistake 
     
    Thank you all for everything you've done this year, honestly I am truly humbled at the great number of people who joined us for this event. Wanting to help others with no direct reward to themselves is a most noble pursuit and one worth celebrating. So have a beer, a smoke, or hell have what may be your first real gaming session in 5 weeks tonight, because you have done yourselves proud.

    The Jeremy Kyle show and Jerry Springer bring the worst examples of humanity on stage to mock them publicly. 

    GN's pointed out factual errors and the mishandling of the billet situation. Please don't compare the two, it makes you look extremely silly.

    The pitchforks were raised because for the past 2 years criticism was met with pushback before actual correction. The whole reacting first then giving rational thought later is bad PR. I get it, i love watching the wan show and hearing your oppinions raw, but in these situations you need to tread carefully. 
     
    What happened to old linus i knew, the one who would listen to feedback and put emotions aside. The one who would make an effort when correcting videos, even for comedic ones like the cheap onn tv video where there is a jumpcut clarifying something minor. 
     
    The linus I see now is one who immediately sees criticism as people out to get him first, and while i get that toxic people are out there, most of the time their criticisms maybe have an ounce of truth that should be considered fully. I also see someone who cares more about opportunity cost than making quality videos first.
     
    And i get it, LTT is massive, but the goals of LTT should remain constant, making the best videos possible, reguardless of how size and scale changes. If anything impedes on making quality videos, maybe it should be taken a closer look at. 
     
    Saying that LTT is going through growing pains works maybe once or twice. But i would think that the next GPU or CPU review would have way more time spent ensuring mistakes dont happen again. In the past, egregious mistakes often have the video taken dowm, and a corrected video be issued. This is no longer the case, and it rings a "but we will lose momentum in the algorithm" concern that causes the video to stay up. Sometimes, its better to eat the loss instead of trying to maintain profit, like that time you messed up pricing for a product at NCIX and instead of canceling orders, your boss telling you to honor the orders and eat the loss.
     
    And look, i understand a big company like yours has miscommunication all the time, but the moment you saw it start to impact the quality of videos, the issue should have been addressed then and there instead of sweeping it under the rug. Using the whole "our company is growing" as a scapegoat only works so much. Its time to take drastic action, and actually take responsibility rather that point to a nebulous term.
     
    Watching the GN video, typing this response was very hard for me to do. The last GN video about TMB i didnt agree with, as i felt it didnt consider the human element in that situation, but this is different. Im a big fan, i own the OG Swacket, mousepad, waterbottle, and have ltt stickers everywhere. Been watching the channel for 8 years. But seeing the GN video, but more specifically this response that just sang the same tones as every other response to a mistake LTT has made, felt like a stab in the chest.
     
    All i ask for is i guess affirmative action at this point rather than using the same scapegoat. Taking a pause and iorning things out. I hope someone at LTT reads this, and doesnt pass me off as a hater, rather a deeply dissapointed fan.

    Address this publically and don't sit with your tail with your legs and make excuses. You and your team messed up. Never mind past issues like the "trust me bro" on your over priced merch.

    Steve doesn’t owe you anything. Implying that this is unfair or not journalistically proper because he didn’t contact you before publishing an expose is absurd. If they wanted your take, they should have reached out after publication. You own a large company, and people rely on the information you provide. Sometimes that means you will get taken to task publicly for a screw up. Stop whining, show some integrity and just admit you f-ed up and need to do better. End of story.

    Also I think not having a big WAN show segment on this is a big error.  This is the value of WAN.  It's your weekly connection with your people.
     
    Own it, accept it, and deal with it live on air.  If you are real, you will know with your merch dashboard.
     
    Personally, I'd bring on Steve from GN and go over it.  Not point by point, but have a friendly discussion.  Talk about the challenges, and what you are doing about it.

    Heard the call from WAN show, offering what little support I have. Unfortunately the "Suspend when computers is in use" settings still doesn't unsuspend when system goes idle so wasted 8~ hours when I went to sleep, so just gonna have to manually pause and unpause again. It was also grabbing everything instead of just ECM but removing and re-adding the project fixed that.

    1. If the HDD is being accessed (woken up) multiple times, then leave it spinning because of wear from spinning down and spinning back up. Cursed WD Green HDD line had high failure rate because of that, (forced 8 seconds idle timer, spin down, park head, Windows requests something 2 seconds later, spin back up, repeat until drive dead). Most HDDs are 5W or less during spinning idle so its not like its sucking up power. 
    2. Like Kilrah mentioned
    3. Have not heard anything like that, SSDs have their own built-in protections so probably not an issue
