Logan's a bigger shitlord than I truly thought.  At any rate.  Qain and Wendell show will be the greatest thing ever, especially with Jennifer tagging along.  It's however unfortunate all this happens after Jenn leaves Newegg for Tek Syndicte, and Qain quits his 200K+ job for Tek Syndicate.  But the new foundation, if it does get built, has Jenn, Qain, Wendell, and teamPGP which are the best.

To me it sounds like some one didn't do their due research. Moving a business is a big task. You got to find an office and renovate that said office. It almost sounded like this was done with piss poor planing. Logan talked about how Linus did crowed sourcing for the LMG office. He stated it would have been a good idea for them to do, but they decided just to count of Pateron. 

 

It takes a lot to run a business. A neighbor of mine owned a frozen yogurt shop with some family. The business lasted maybe 2 years before they had to close the doors. This was do to differences in opinion's on running the business and how much effort each owner needed to put in. Thats the problem with having partnerships in businesses. I see 2 options for them, either they work out their problems, or the business will be dissolved in the courts. 

 

Overall it sounded like there might not be any wrong doing, but just bad decisions were made. Its also sounding like not every one was happy with those decisions. 

That sounds reasonable and coming from somebody else it would even be understandeable. However if you silence uncomfortable opinions, kick out administrators, kick out your business partners, take your forums offline, all in full view of your audience, well you damn well fucking deserve to be called out on your bullshit not because of your honest, human mistakes but because of your arrogance and egomaniacal reaction to the situation.

From TwitLonger post, Wendell just owns 30% of the company. Who owns the rest? Logan?!

Never really get what's them with beer and shit, this goes the same with Paul and Kyle when their doing their tech show.

Maks was too "funny and fun" loving way back in the day, and they wanted a more professional way of conducting themselves, and that lasted a whole year before Logan realized it wasn't enabling growth at the same rate.  Jimmy I am not sure, but the thought is that he never got his edittting done in time.  Spankks over-stayed his visa stay in the US, but an interesting thing is that he could've come back for a long time now and he -didn't-.  He's been staying the hell away on the entire spectrum.

He lives on:

Jimmy didn't get his editing done in time

Meanwhile viewers are still waiting for videos from 2 separate China trips on the main channel...

Yeah, i don't think Spannks even has an active account, supposedly Spannks and Pistol had a thing. But then again Qain was running for president so TekSyndicate is just entirely full of shit

It's not that simple

For a LAN party? It pretty much is. I set up a LAN party for hundreds of people as a project in high school. It really is not that hard...

Wait 200k?, jesus fuck. I don't think i would have left even if everything was gonna be ok, thats a lot of money and realistically they've known each other how long?

High school I think.  They have videos from a long time ago.  Back when Logan was thin, beardless, and a magician(that's a joke).

Either way.  Hell, I wouldn't leave a job paying me $80,000 let alone $200,000.  That is a rapid path to a capital gains investment income and then after ten years--you never have to work again, and just began heavy investment in to oil, and metals.

Yeah, being on top to the economy food chain. Just buy cars for cash, and sell for slightly less.

 

What happened to Albert?

I've no idea what's going on. Can someone please summarise the situation for me?

Albert travels the world taking photographs for a living.  He's nomadic.

I know a lot of people that aren't very good at putting their knowledge into words. Give them something hands on where they can actually demonstrate their knowledge and they will usually have no problems.

 

I occasionally have this issue since i dont concern myself with proper terms or think of proper procedure. i just know how to do a lot of stuff. So when Im asked to train someone under me i find myself flustered. So I always just end up showing them how instead, and explain the inner workings as they come up into my head. 

 

I'd make a horrible college professor. Maybe I should apply

The funny thing.  He's moved to all these hyper liberal bastions(which are extremely expensive to live all around), but had he just moved back to Kentucky, living near Wendell, he could rent a home in the multi-thousands of sqft(and very cheaply), and work out of that, not need to spend the probable 4000+ a month on their own place + the office, which is probably insanely expensive.  That's where it all started originally was Kentucky, the ol' forest lair, and then they moved to Vermont, or back to Vermont because of Pistol, and then Jimmy came, and then Jimmy got booted faster than you can say, "MAKS".

 

Wendell must not live anywhere near Louisville, I almost have to sell a kidney every month to pay rent and I have a CS degree with a fairly well paying job.

So he knows how to use switches, which are plug-n-play? Wow... He knows how to plug in a cable!

Very specialized... He doesn't seem to know the first thing about routing either.

Managed switches for large buildings do not work that way: most don't even use DHCP and have to be manually asigned subnets, ips, the works.

 

Yes wireless is important I can give you that, however this is a symptom of a much bigger discussion which is how the IT industry wants highly specialized staff and wants several different network specialists: one that deals with switches. One that deals with the wireless part. Another one for load balancing, etc. It is entirely possible for someone to have a lot of very specific knowledge, hell people build careers about the fact that they know how to manage Cisco equipment specifically and are certified only for said equipment and nothing else.

 

This is even worst when you get to other areas like ERPs and such but it's still very prevalent. I think that having a lot of expertice in only one area is just a byproduct of this, doeesn't makes you an "idiot" it just means you have a specialization which as I said is commonplace.

Agreed. A lan party is extremely simple. S'long as if youre using one router that its arp table can support all the machines you want, its literal plug and play for a lan party. Anyone who says otherwise doesnt know much about networking. 

 

@Misanthrope While your post on specialized networking is correct, it doesnt apply to setting up a lan party. And if someone did go through the effort of using managed switches then I'm not sure what to say.

Drama.  The vultures have been lured by the scent and are gossiping, finger pointing, squawking and making personal attacks on whomever they happen to suddenly feel they're better than.  In short, you don't want to know anymore than you'd want to listen in to your mum, ants, and grandma judging strangers and estrange acquaintances social status durring Christmas dinner.

• Viewers ask to see accounts as little progress made + general transparency
• Mods and Admins side with viewers
• Logan starts pruning the forum and censoring those outspoken
• (unrelated) Pistol is being kind of an ass to viewers
• Logan removes all moderators and Admins, locks various threads that have reports of this
• ???
• ???
• Logan takes down DNS server so site isn't accessible withount ip
• Wendell is outspoken about Logan's antics and calls him out.
• Apparently Qain has spoken with Logan, details unknown
• Wendell, Qain, Jennifer presumed fired
• ???
• ???
• Comments disabled on latest TekSyndicate videos
• Patreon goes down $400 since before the incident

 

Still haven't gotten my head around it fully, can anyone help?

am taking courses for Cisco CCNA and later CNNP certifications, can confirm this statement

 

To be fair, Cisco has like, what, 70% of the market? So it's wise to know Cisco if networking is your goal.

Sure, setting up a lan is easy.  Powering it, and making sure everyone has reasonable internet connectivity is the hard part.  I'm guessing with your lan party all the heavy lifting was done by the school, you didn't need to aggregate several consumer isp drops and implement qos/traffic shaping while everyone pegged their connections, nor power several hundred computers, the wiring was already done for you.

 

Edit: don't forget the router you need to use is a pieced together pfsense box because commercial equipment needed for this is too expensive.

He's in Richmond.  Forty or so minutes South/SE of Lexington.

You're probably spot on then, sounds pretty rural.  Any further away from Lexington and he'd probably have a strong accent.
