No problem! Thank you for being the awesome person you are! Keep interacting with the community, That's what in my opinion makes people more awesome for the type of job you have :)

 

You've done a good job at LTT as well, Keep the sponsors coming!

 

The last thing i would need to make this week even better would be a plug on the WAN Show (Even the afterparty would still be as awesome)

Awesome Wallpapers made by yours truly! | TECH THEMED WALLPAPERS!

 

What happened to your profile picture and who is this Tanku Neko guy?

That's why I find the new release times so annoying. I can't even watch them during my lunch break here in Central Europe.

Knowing, that the video is already online and seeing the topic here, makes it so much more aggrevating. 

 

I get why they are doing it. The spike in viewers shortly after release is probably needed to make the video relevant to YT metrics, to reach a wider audience.

Still sucks for me though.

I always thought Windex as a product sucks... can't even clean windows, which is what the product implies it's for.

Maybe this video will change my mind... maybe.

Damn, it actually worked. I've always thought fingerprints on brushed aluminum were (almost) impossible to remove.

I've found a nifty trick where if - instead of rubbing it on the aluminium - you drink the alcohol, finger oils become less noticeable and less annoying when you do notice them.

I have not tried Windex (never heard of it before the ultimate keyboard guide). But I been using alcohol and it takes care of it for the most part.
