I've got 182 pictures and need to make a slide show as quickly as possible. How might I go about doing that? Thanks!

I like the WAN Show, it's great. Even with it's constant technical issues, and the fact that it rarely starts 'on time' it tends to be great. Though most of the time it has news and info I heard earlier in the week, getting a different perspective on it is great. As well as the fact that Linus and Luke are are often able to go into more detail on a story with some technical knowledge or experience related to the topic. It is worth waiting for, whether it starts on time, or 20+ minutes late. But I think it can be better A bad part about the WAN Show is Twitch Chat. Twitch chat unfortunately in most cases, across most channels is a shit show. It is consistent of people posting ASCII art of Hitler or genitalia and what not, or people spamming the same useless text or message over and over in some vain attempt to be noticed on the internet. A big part of why this happens is that these channels are have no moderation, or very little. That coupled with the fact that productive members of chat rarely get acknowledged on-air causes a reduction in those people participating in the chat and making it positive and useful. As things currently stand it's not reasonable to expect Luke or Linus to do that because chat goes by so fast that it's barely worth reading for anyone that is an active part of the WAN Show's production, let alone other viewers in the chat. Here's where actual moderation comes into play, and it does not take much at all. This is an example for a channel I moderate (along with other moderators) And I should say right now. I am not campaigning to be a mod on the WAN Show. I am not around often enough for that to be reasonable, I have not proven myself in any way shape or form in regards to the LTT Community, and in the end, anyone can do this; 1. use R9KBeta: This command will prevent any user from posting a message containing the exact same text within 10 seconds of the same message being posted by themselves or anyone else. For example Bob notices that the WAN Show is late to start. So he says 'LinusLateTips' Jeff either notices this too, or notices what Bob said and tries to post the exact same thing; Twitch chat tells his message is too similar to another one. Jeff gets annoyed for a few second and is forced to use his brain and actively participate. This process is fairly passive. Jeff is most likely going to wait a bit longer, thing of something similar to say,and possibly more relevant and the fact that he said something different will encourage other people to ether talk directly to him, or about the new topic he started. For example, after Bob sends his message to chat, Jeff says 'I wonder why Linus is late so often, and why the intro sound is disabled, do they have a noise gate they don't know how to work?" Then Jeff and other members of chat are involved in a discussion about noise gates and streaming tech as they wait for the show to start. The majority of the arguments against R9KBeta are 'I can't say what I want to say' and the response to that is that 'If someone said it 10 seconds before you did in the exact same text, then it's not worth hearing, because it was already heard. Think it over and share a new perspective, be an active and mindful participant in the community. 2. Use Slow Mode This one is self explanatory in what it does, but it's use is massively underestimated in it's effectiveness. The channel I assist in moderating streams for an average of 7 hours on each stream 4 to 5 days every weak. Sometimes those streams go on for 9 hours. It's a gaming related stream, and on most streams maximum viewership peaks at 10,000 viewers and there are usually still 6000 left when the stream ends (which i usually at 3AM PST). It is often regarded as one of the most productive, welcoming and positive communities on all of Twitch and in the history of Twitch. This was occurring long before I even started watching it, let alone become a mod of it. The second biggest contributor to this is the usage of slow mode. Keep in mind that this channel is partnered and can easily be put into subscriber mode (I'll go into that next). All we do on most nights is do a quick judgement call based on how many people are present and how fast chat is moving and the basic guideline we follow is this: Is chat moving too fast for the channel host to follow and engage with his community? We watch him on screen and if we see his eyes darting back and forth between the game and chat, we can tell his trying to follow and having trouble so we slow it down without a word to or from him. Most of the time we have slow mode set to 30 seconds. Even with 10,000+ people present. It is very impressive how much forcing a person to think about what their saying for 30 seconds will change the dynamic of a discussion, allow for host to community engagement, and overall have a positive impact on the community. The usage of R9KBeta and Slow Mode set to a mere 30 seconds has an active group of ten thousand people in chat all having positive discussions among each other with almost no bickering or insulting occurring, and most of those are immediately resolved among the participants because the time they have to wait to talk again causes them to evaluate their words and the words of others. We as channel moderators rarely have to even say a word or lift a finger. The problem i solved in brief time it took for us to notice it. In 2 months I have had to perma-ban one single person for posting a link to an adult website and timeout another person for spamming a name in caps (he wanted the streamer to play as a certain character). Otherwise my actions have consisted of setting the amount of seconds applied to slow mode, enabling or disabling R9KBeta in certain cases, and preparing / posting straw polls in chat. 3. Straw Poll Straw poll is used often on the WAN Show, however just as often viewers are asked to spam "1" or "2" to indicate a choice. This is absolutely horrible and encourages bad behavior (spamming for example) A host asking people to spam a number is a clear indicator that they cannot follow chat and therefore they have lost control of the chat. If they are doing a live show and they lose control of their audience they have lost engagement. Keep control at all times. This is simply done by making people think about what their saying. Always use a polling service when soliciting the opinions of your viewership. StrawPoll is often the best choice because either the hosts or moderators can set it up and share the link within seconds. 4. Subscriber Mode The Wan Show does not have a subscriber button, however because it has all other partnered features it isn't exactly a hidden fact that this could be gained by Linus simply contacting Twitch, asking for it and immediately receiving it. If he asks for it, it will be given to him; that's a given. And if that happens that's great. It's extra revenue to provide higher quality videos more coverage, and if necessary, pay the salary of more staff, be they related to the WAN Show or any other facet of LTT/LMG. As to the usage of Subscriber Mode, using it sparingly is it's most effective use, and using it as a tool and not a thread or a method of disclusion (I made that word up) is it's most effective use. For example the channel I assist in moderating rarely uses subscriber mode. The only two times it is ever used is if the channel gets hosted and raided and we (as moderators) need to quickly re-establish control. In these cases because the existing community is so positive often all we have to do is turn it on for about 5 minutes and existing subsribers will continue talking and provide a few details for the newcomers who can't chat. Usually just forcing them to view the flow of discussion from current community participants is enough for them to get a handle on how conversation flows in the channel and they almost immediately become positive participants. Newcomers are frequently surprised by how orderly and positive discussion is in spite of so many people being present and sub mode being off most of the time. The second occurrence it gets used in is if the channel owner is playing an anticipated game or a game with some sort of new content or anticipated update. This attracts more viewers however it attracts more trolls. When the stream starts he advises the community that we will start in subscriber mode and apologizes for it. Why does he apologize? Because as he puts it every single time; 'It stops a lot of you really awesome people from talking to me and everyone else, and maybe you just can't subscribe, but you come here every night and support us just be watching. So I hate cutting you off like this" He then follows by reassures them that it is only temporary and the mods will be taking it out of slow mode multiple times to keep a handle on things and let more people talk as they (we) weed out the trolls. While the flow of his 'shows are different he regularly manages to engage directly with his community in spite of having 10,000+ people present on most nights. It is amazing how powerful it is to have someone mention you or another person watching the stream in a direct manner, and regularly. This does happen on the wan show however due to the fact that chat is an uncontrolled mess there. It does not happen as often as it could, or should. and this could easily change with two simple commands: /r9kbeta /slow 30 Usually after that you barely have to touch anything. If anyone from LMG is interested in knowing what this mysterious channel I keep referring to is, send me a private message here. I am intentionally not linking to it because I don't want to come across as advertising for him. If you find the time you can check out his stream when it's live and see how incredibly effective the moderation is, and how positive and engaged the community is in spite of it's size. The WAN Show is awesome. but it can be be better, and it should be better, and this can be accomplished easily. As always, I am looking forward to the next show. LMG is awesome. Thank you for all who took the time to read this incredibly long opinion.

This should totally be the offline screen for twitch.tv/linustech

I thought to do this poll for fun..............so VOTE NOW!!!!!!!!

Just thought i would share how i like watching the Scrapyard wars series (like a tv show haha) Also wondering if any others like to watch it in the living room on the big screen Apologies for the pic quality, the m8 camera is not all that great.

Without them it would be prohibitively expensive for us to come to the show and bring you guys this content, so I'd like to express my sincere gratitude towards our sponsors because they (and you) make it possible for us to keep doing what we love to do, which is arguably one of the coolest jobs in the world. Both of these companies have been great partners and asked for pretty much nothing other than mentions in our videos, which gives us the freedom to create the content we feel you guys will enjoy. Huge thanks again to our two sponsors :') Our title sponsor for Computex 2015 is MSI! We're extremely glad to have them on board, and they're going to be showing off quite a bit at the show this year, so be sure to take a look at everything they have both in our videos and at this link. And we have the always awesome lynda.com! As a long-time supporter of our content, we could not be happier to have them on - especially on a show that meshes so well with what lynda.com provides. If you're looking for tips or training in tech, business, or really anything, then look no further. Head over to lynda.com/computex to grab your free trial of their online education service and start learning today! Thanks once again for supporting our content!

I just had an idea for the WAN show, why not have a call with a viewer a the end of the WAN show to discuss news/trending things/Linus stuff? Obviously you couldn't do it through Skype because of IP issues, so do it through Google Hangouts which I believe you cannot get someone's IP as it is going through Google Servers, and to call someone just make a form for people to submit their Google Email then randomly pick one from the results and call it. This would be good as it would make the show more interactive and could increase viewers. @LinusTech sorry if this has already been said or in wrong subforum >.<

Hello i seek advice on good German tv shows i could watch

NCIX: http://bit.ly/1HmEvjf Amazon: http://geni.us/3eZO Since Brandon and Nick will be covering NAB show over the next three days, they figured it was a great time to showcase the gear we use to cover all of our events!

So, seeing as how a few guys have ideas I figure why not make an umbrella type thread. The one's I've stumbled across have had some hit and miss ideas so think your idea through before spewing "MOAR CONSOLE STUFF D00DZ WTF IZ UR DEELZ!?Q?!!?" Thread http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/165444-new-video-ideas-for-linus-and-his-crew/ Thread http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/5361-linus-video-ideas/ Best I've found so far http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/323157-dumping-out-my-video-ideas/ To recyle some from the above and toss a few of my own 1. A showcase of most popular items from Pcpartpicker, Newegg, NCIX, Amazon, etc (most bought monitors with highest reviews) 2. A "retro" showcase featuring things from days gone by (the physx card review/unboxing comes to mind) 3. A software showcase featuring lesser known or new but most importnatly USEFUL apps and programs 4. A Cheapskate show, monthly perhaps 5. A "Diamond in the rough" type of thing which is a mix of suggestion 1 and 3. -EDIT- A dedicated Q&A/Viewer Mail short on super fun wouldn't be such a bad idea -EDIT v2 electric boogaloo- Perhaps a sort of "living with it" kind of thing where fans make videos about long term usage of parts/software/gadgets and so on?

I was watching the WAN show and noticed something that bothered me about their logo on the bottom overlay. As you can see in the pic, the bottom and top left corner of the small hexagon are not aligned with the the lines behind them. My OCD really hates this, Please fix this Linus, Thanks.

hi my pc shows no sign of fans beep, or display. i checked the power supply if it goes on via green to ground jumper it works but when i try turn via motherboard or case still no sign but one MoBo light goes on at once it connected to psu. and i checked cmos battery still nothing. deivid. pc not a special but good enough for me. asus gtx 550 cosmos 2 ultra tower evga atx motherboard WD green 1tb hdd intel pentium g3450 2,9ghz dual core (clocked at 3,4ghz) cooler master nelton 120xl cpu cooler 6 gb of crucial ballistix

Hey y'all - this is a thread for all members, new and old, to post a picture or two of what they actually look like while not on the interwebs. Feel free to comment (respectfully) on photos, but please keep it on topic or else this topic be removed. Anywho, as stated before, post a pic or two! Have a great day . I----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I I'll start - this is my sister and I before a hellish hike, about a month ago.

I asked Slick to say "Slick is sick" twice in the WAN show and i start a monthly subscription. I love LinusTechTips since about 2010 but i never started to support them with the monthly subscription cause i´m a pretty poor student. I just got two LTT-shirts for my birthday But this challenge made it worth it! Proof from my side is attached. Love you guys and go on creating amazing content. Use my monthly 5$ wisely Greetings Helge

Yay! I'm at 1000 posts as of this one! It's interesting to see only 6 a day but at the start there were days of no posting at a time, and I think I average more like 20-30 posts a day now. Edit: aand the counter still says 999...Now a thousand.

WAN show is one of my favorite weekly twitch streams. It's super entertaining and insightful, especially for guys like me that can keep up with everything that is going on throughout the week. And the audience has been growing and growing every week. However I feel it would be found even more if they set their game in the dashboard to "Gaming Talk Shows" so the show can actually be found in the directory. I'm wondering if this was overlooked or if there was a reason they aren't doing this.

According to Forbes (and my personal email) Ubisoft is giving out free dlcs to all the owners of a copy of AC:Unity AND if you have a season pass you get to pick a free games out of a list ubisoft has put up. P.S. I'm on mobile gonna make a better edit once i get home http://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2014/11/26/if-you-bought-assassins-creed-unitys-season-pass-ubisoft-has-a-free-game-for-you/

Hi there, I'm not sure if anyone else has already fixed this, however I have fixed the twitter box on the wan shows overlay, i didn't spend a lot of time on it but I personally think it looks better than what they are currently using. I have attached both the PNG and the PSD for anyone to edit / make better. Wanshow.psd Thanks for reading, Mikey.

Our friends at Intel will be at BlizzCon 2014, and they have some pretty cool stuff going on. Their booth is located near the Hearthstone Stage, and they are showcasing Haswell-E based gaming rigs and other systems, and some two-in-one systems which will be showcasing touch-based Hearthstone - they are actually the only booth at BlizzCon which will have touch Hearthstone available to play. In addition, there will be some Twitch streamers playing live at the booth, and a green screen photo app where attendees can take pictures. But what if you can't attend BlizzCon this year? Don't fret, there is something for you to enjoy as well. Intel has partnered up with Newegg to provide you guys with three awesome deals: $200 off an ASUS ROG Gaming Laptop (newegg.com) with the promo code: INTBLIZC2G $100 off a Lenovo Y50 4K Gaming Laptop (newegg.com) with the promo code: INTBLIZC1G $200 off a Lenovo Horizon 2 27” AIO with the promo code: INTBLIZC2A These deals are available from now until December 31, 2014, so be sure to check them out!

I remember on a WAN show (possibly long enough ago that it was a the 'Live Stream') there was a topic regarding some sort of new TV antenna sharing/rental scheme which I think avoided fees somehow. If I remember correctly I think that it was facing legal opposition and never took off. I cannot find anything that sounds like what I think I remember, can anyone remember the name or help with more info? Thanks, j29

The new Twitch Rules of Conduct Is the last new rule going to be an issue for the WAN show, since it's primary focus is not on games but rather tech news?

ok. so first. id like to have maybe a mod/admin make this an official thread because I feel like we really need one for the WAN show. for people post suggestions. mainly because there isin't anything official to post wan show related things. ok now for the actual suggestion I have.: I recently saw this @XTankSlayerX 's work. and I find it really nice. he even agreed to make me a custom background. witch I found amazing . Id like Linus and slick to include a small portion of the WAN Show where they showcase some of the amazing work done by the community like this. I think people like him really need some way to be ''exposed'' to the rest of the LinusTechTips community. and I think this is a really great way of doing it. tell me what you think ! ps sorry for bad english im Canadian. but im from Québec. sorry @LinusTech @Slick @Windspeed36 @WoodenMarker @Dim and @Dave @ixi_your_face @Whiskers @looney

PCPartPicker: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/Silverrune/saved/LtyH99 I know from past experience I will receive a lot of comments saying that a lot of what I am getting is unneeded, and their are cheaper alternatives. I am aware. This build is not meant to be the most money efficient but rather my Dream PC. However, I still have a few lingering questions, especially for the water-cooling community I know exists here. 1. Are all my water-cooling components quality, and will they work together? 2. How would you go about the layout of the tubing in order to make it look it's best? If you have an opinion of the build, or want to try and help with your input, feel free to leave it here.

So is there a WAN show today 9/20/14 because if you look in the calender it says wan show live on 9/20/2014? :huh: B)
