LINUS TECH TIPS TEAM Q&A

Slick

I'll answer this for you, a while back.. Maybe a few months of that. Some guy would post maybe once a month about the video Luke did where they got a $3000 3d printer for free. Well he had the idea that they didn't CLEARLY state who they got the printer from though Luke says it like 3 times. In the end this guy went through the trouble of getting ahold of the Canadian Government to look into it.

That's an interesting story, but it doesn't answer my question.

Linus answered it in the Q&A video though!

- how can I participate in a prank or ChannelSuperFun episode? (I have a valid passport; and will travel.. and don't mind playing a bad guy role if needed :P)

 

- why no warm-up DJ for The WAN Show when you are so regularly late? (looking at you 'NickyV' as the main candidate to be the DJ)

 

- do any of you like to make games on the side? (video game coding)

 

- when do you think you will be hiring again, and what qualifications will you likely be looking for?

 

- would you ever consider doing extreme sports like things for ChannelSuperFun, or would you start a new channel for that?

@Slick Who the fuck thought it was acceptable to troll Taran for a year? That guy who decided this was a good idea should be out of a job.

It was NickyV

 

and I am sure if Taran was really upset and didn't want to do it they would stop but he didn't really react too much he was laughing half the time anyway

The only reason he acted like that was that he works for LMG and he doesn't want to lose his job. 

 

Otherwise he would have punched him and quite frankly I would have tried to beat the crap out of him.

 

That was bullying. It is not acceptable to children or adults. He was about to cry.

 

If you did this in a workplace environment which is more "Normal", your reputation would be tarnished, you would be fired and you would have a hard time finding jobs for the rest of your life.

I'm quite certain that if you really think that, your completely misunderstanding the workplace culture at LMG. Also at no point was he about to cry. These guys went to school together it was just a bit of fun between friends, you really need to calm down.

I think that you misunderstood it. Whatever. Point is that if you do that and you are in a job environment like 99% of people are. Then you would have problems. And i still stand by what i said about it.

Not all work environments are the same, do you even watch LMG content like WAN shows or Channel Super Fun? The reason I ask is because you don't have to watch too many of them to see what goes on at LMG and to figure out what kind of company it is, it's not a bloody insurance company or a bank. Also you must have a pretty low opinion of Taran if you think that someone messing with his mouse cursor and shit would make him want to cry.

 

This is not a typical workplace

It was fucking with his workflow and productivity. If it was any other company that person would be fired.

I don't see why you're so hung up on this, LMG is very obviously not that kind of company and Taran seems to have developed enough emotionally to not be bothered by something as silly as having someone wiggle his mouse cursor around. It just seems to me that you're intent on finding something to be offended over. I'm no expert but last time I checked this forum's URL was Linustechtips.com not Tumblr.com.

Yea I agree with ostwind, this is nothing serious, he even let him upload the bloody video, if he was genuinely mad he would tell linus. I wouldn't hit someone in the face even if they got rid of 30 minutes of my work, I just would tell them don't do it please and if they continue then maybe. But taran was laughing at the last bit, and since we actually saw the video it means that taran was ok with it being uploaded

Ask this one to Linus: What would happen to LinusMediaGroup if YouTube were to shut down one day? Honestly that would be a horrible day.

I'm honestly surprised they don't check their devices every once in a while to make sure a coworker isn't doing a prank on them at this point...

I do it almost everytime I start using a computer unless I'm in a rush to get something done!
