Buy Seagate 10TB Helium drive on Amazon: http://geni.us/NBceR Helium drives provide some pretty interesting new opportunities. Is this one of them? Only time will tell...
-
Not everyone celebrates Christmas and we release every day of the year - no exceptions. We've actually noticed a significant uptick in clicks since we changed the style over. While it may not look as "professional," it's definitely more "YouTube-style," from what we've seen from others in the industry.

Highly doubt it. If we had a vlog channel then maybe? But that's not currently in the plans, sorry And to be completely honest it would be very boring most of the time. "I came to work, I had a sales call, I drew up a proposal, I went home," "I came to work, I edited a video, Premiere crashed 8 times, I went home" and so on and so forth lol. It's a lot more like a "real job" than most people imagine as we're certainly on the more "corporate" end when it comes to YouTube channels.

Hard to hate on the MBP as a whole - it has some very dumb aspects, but overall it's still a good laptop.
-
"THEY DID IT TWICE! IT'S A PATTERN!" We name videos in a number of ways... This just seemed to make sense for both Airpods and MBP.
-
Last few days have been pretty variable due to some production constraints. We always aim for noon PT, but there is some flux in that from day to day, unfortunately.

Buy Lightning Dongles on Amazon: http://geni.us/qfWyBfa dbrand link: https://dbrand.com/donglebook Can any laptop that doesn't feature a GTX 1080 really justify a $3500 price tag?

Because we checked out the same product?... You must be new to the tech review party

Buy USB Killer on Amazon: http://geni.us/RjwUC Computer destruction... is it really as easy as plugging in a USB device?

Yep - currently you pay the same as you did for Vessel and get less. I'm hoping that we can expand the feature-set in the future to accommodate better interactivity with FP members (we have some ideas that we're not quite ready to share just yet), but for now it's not where we'd like it to be. It's important to remember that Vessel was a company with over $130 million USD in seed funding that was acquired and immediately shut down after only 18 months of operation - so while we've taken some of the inspiration for Floatplane from that model, I think it's safe to say that there were some rough spots when it came to the execution of the plan over there (speaking purely anecdotally - I do not personally have any information as to what happened internally over there). We're certainly not trying to follow directly in their footsteps. MBP was released to consumers on October 29, and the first real reviews (not just a "hands-on at the event" video or article) that I can see for it came out in the first week of November. Considering the fact that our review released to FP on December 15 (5-6 weeks after the first round of reviews), that is by definition "no longer time sensitive." That doesn't mean that we aren't going to try to get the review out in a timely manner, but it does mean that any leg up that we would potentially have in the review space by releasing the video one week earlier is 100% gone. At that point the people who care what LTT has to say about it will watch it - the people who are just looking for any random outlet's opinion as quickly as possible probably won't. Haha I'm hoping that Linus drops all of the "one-of-a-kind" products we can find once again... (I MEAN, FOR ANY REPS OUT THERE READING THIS, I HOPE THAT HE HANDLES THEM WITH ALL OF THE CARE AND LOVE THAT THEY DESERVE. AND MORE. BECAUSE THEY'RE IMPORTANT TO ME) I've heard that some of the most expensive pieces at the show this year are going to be behind glass, and I have to think that Linus' actions at past CESs (flocks of CES? Idunno what the plural form of a massive tech event should be, I'm just a marketing guy) have at least SOMETHING to do with that... And I hope that we do cover it! I'll see what we can do for you on the "dropping" front

Yep, your edit must've come through as I was responding Glad to hear that you're happy with some aspects of the service - that's what we're striving for here. The FP team is killing it in my opinion, they're doing a hell of a lot of work with a small team on tight timelines and delivering. Impressive stuff from all involved. And you are most definitely allowed to voice your opinion - I'm just trying to make sure our side is heard as well We always appreciate the feedback and I think that the balance of "make sure this content goes to the public in a timely manner to maximize views" and "make sure the community members who are paying directly to view our content early don't feel like they're getting a raw deal" is always going to be one of the most difficult aspects of a "sometimes early access, sometimes not" structure... It's something we need to keep a close eye on. But there will be times like this, where we've got a ton of content that needs to go to YT as soon as possible, or CES where we've got a whole week's worth of content that would be useless if we windowed it for any significant amount of time. I just hope that we can find a way to maintain that balance. EDIT: not that it's a huge deal, but the "$25,000 Christmas Prank" video did get a full week window on FP. It was just titled differently, I believe it was "A very special LMG Christmas" or something like that.

With the upcoming holiday & CES fast approaching we're in full-on "PRODUCE EVERYTHING AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN HOLY $H!T" mode. So yeah, the upload schedule hasn't been perfect lately. We're also putting in a very significant amount of extra hours currently to make sure that we don't miss any upload days due to those two events. Apologies for the poor communication there, but when we're off our normal rhythm there's almost always a reason why. There has been no official change to the upload schedule at this time. Hopefully we'll be back to noon PT within a few days. This is a quote from the initial email regarding the Floatplane launch regarding "pilot" benefits: "- DRM-Free downloads for members at 360p and 720p - Ad free service - No pre-roll ads to suck up your bandwidth - Exclusive member-only comments section through the forum - Early access - For now it'll be similar to the Vessel experience (1 week), but the window COULD change, and I can almost guarantee there will be more simultaneous releases for time-sensitive projects than before." If you feel like you've been slighted by the unusually high number of simultaneous releases, then I certainly apologize. But I feel like we've been pretty up-front about the increased focus on the community aspect that Vessel brought about, rather than the "early access videos" aspect. Airpods were simultaneous because they are legitimately time-sensitive - most people won't give two craps about them in a week. Blade Pro is time sensitive, hopefully for obvious reasons. ASUS C20CB was time-sensitive based on the point in time that we received it. Linus thought that it was interesting enough to get out into the general public immediately. Oculus Touch was extremely time sensitive as people don't seem to care about VR as much as I wish they did (which is an entirely different conversation, not trying to start that here lol) Google Tango was simultaneous due to a sponsor commitment. That's no different than it would've been through Vessel. So I certainly see your point - but I feel like we've been very up-front about the goals of the platform and the differences between it and Vessel. EDIT: Almost forgot - the reason Macbook wasn't simultaneous is that we were already so late to the party - when you're 3-4 weeks late already, another week isn't make or break.

Oh trust me, you are not alone. They're the worst I've experienced in that regard. I liked my Shure SE215s but the cables only lasted a couple months on those before getting some awful distortion... upkeep was a bit too expensive for my taste when it comes to a pair of earphones...
-
That's like... not even slightly true. It's either 7-day buffer or no buffer, which is exactly the same as it was with Vessel.
-
"Not get a week buffer for anything" feels like a pretty significant overstatement. The last couple of videos have been simultaneous releases due to the timely nature of the content. This will happen from time to time - more often than it did with Vessel, as we have been saying since the beginning of FP. Especially when it comes to stuff like show content and the Airpods.
