i'll make a laptop it will just be terrible, i dont even have my degree yet
Speaking of laptop, i helped my dad order a new laptop. We got the HP Envy on sale.
as a user of various apple products i just tune out linus et al when apple comes up even if I agree with their points
my only apple product is an 8 year old laptop i was required to buy from my school
So what is Linus' new investment?
regardless of how many employees identified this issue it only matters if someone at whatever level of the org tree decides that diverting money to the problem is worth it
I remember when you were forced to use Safari to watch Apple events.
The sink only working for some skin colors is just like the 'separate but equal ' back again
like, same sink it just wont work for 'you people'
/s this is just a comment on it and should be taken as a job please
imagine if you wanted to drive though Wyoming and got pulled over for being in an EV bc some cop decided to actually enforce it
btw my new years resolution is a shockingly sharp 144i
btw where oil goes after it is used and where it comes from isn't really any better than lithium....
The lithium vs oil pretty much the same as nuclear vs coal...
b-but... I wanna 10 gig...
Well 10 Gig would be good for seeding.
"but i run the servers and datacenter for my app and website from my house!"
If you only got a few big torrents coming out of an NVMe. then that would be an applicable need case.
But that's about it now.
other than the cost of the domain, i have an email attached to it for 100% free. Took a lot of hoops though.
I'm 1 person and I have 2 gig 
Having 10 gig currently would be mostly braging about your giant epeen speed number.
10 Gig is however good for your local network.
I love my 10gig home internet I will never go back to 1 gig
My university has something like an entire x.x.x.x /16 of the IP space (65k IPs)
That's overkill for current use cases.
why do you think a NAS would matter? 10gig speeds mean I don't have to store anything locally when I can pull it faster over the internet than a local NAS
Can you pull it faster from the internet? At this point we are going to include the time it takes to find the file.
If you have it local, it would still be faster to move it than to look for it online
what makes you think I don't have it book marked as a common use item?
Then why not already have it local?
like I download ISO in seconds
so I don't have to tie up my local storage
down load use delete
repeat
What if the host goes down?
bro you pulling straws now data centers are all about redundancy
site is not storage
I have seen sites go down due to too much traffic
not when your running on a network that can handle 4 tibits of DDos attaks
Hell it happened today with a site I use for FFXIV
edge case and sure its going to happen I also have power outages
They just released new housing in game, and all the new homeowners crashed a site that catalogues the furnishing items.
And of course the infamous hug of death when something hits the front page of Reddit
your still talking about content and I am talking about storage
Linus, heres a tip: If you want to do it without the legal trouble, then just make the data able to be queried from and API and some 3rd part can make an open source extension that does it...
Linus ain't looking at this
i kow
linus rarely uses discord
right
yep his people have people that kind of know about discord 😄
but he isnt gonna see my message anyway
hes busy hustling, no time for discord lol
so i would rather say it somewhere finable than a chat that goes away forever
Fire Colton, Luke shouldn't blame the birds.

I didn't really like the wheel. But loved the content it generated. Maybe because this being the first time may be part of the reason why
The wheel is a good idea. They just need a timer for the topics.
That a was a smooth rap transition
This show is long. Might have to head out soon
still going??
ITS BEEN 3.5 WHOLE HOURS!!!
bandwidth capability doesn't determine request capacity for a given application
someone made a merch message for it thanks
Almost four hours
when in doubt, just scrape data instead of paying for an api
Damn that was a long show
Was that the longest WAN ever?
Just looked through the backlog and didn’t see a single WAN that was longer
might be, but it wasn't one that ended the latest
It's showing up as 03:36:22 now tho
Anyone knows what got cut out?
During the wan show Linus mentioned having a system that could search through previous WAN shows to answer merch messages using chatgpt. They went on talk about the cost and it being an unofficial api. I built a small proof of concept for that using the text-embedding-ada-002 model. It's been publicly available for around a month now and is priced at $0.0004 / 1K tokens. I generated embeddings from just two past WAN shows and it averaged at 350 tokens per show. Those embedding costs are one time as you then store those text embeddings. Search is performed by generating an embedding of your query and comparing it to your database via cosine similarity. I'll try to put up a public demo by the end of this weekend as it's a tad bit slow to generate the embeddings.
interesting
To extend the idea of react to bad hacking scenes in movies, recreating systems or desk setups from famous hacking scenes would be interesting.
For the Wheel of Pain i would love to see a chess clock type system, so they have to balance between defending their side effectively and having enough time to counter the arguments from the other person
The preshow was like 14 minutes so that might have been cut out.
Yeah, pre-show was about 15mins and that only gets a VoD on Floatplane.
Linus has announced that his company will be making a reaction channel because "it is stupid not to". On the WAN show he and Luke discussed the ethical concerns with making this channel and I give my thoughts on both what they intend to create and reaction content in general.

I like DarkViperAU but he can certainly get all wound up about stuff lol, lets see what he says here
I'm still watching yesterday's WAN show so hopefully this didn't come up (actually it's old news so it probably didn't) but I came across a... somewhat disturbing observation today.
Someone informed me that Stable Diffusion open sourced their ML model.
Ah, they have an official article stating that it's open source: https://stability.ai/blog/stable-diffusion-v2-release
Oh look here is the repository: https://github.com/Stability-AI/stablediffusion
And would you look at that, it's MIT licensed. Wait a minute... there's a second license in here.
https://github.com/Stability-AI/stablediffusion/blob/main/LICENSE-MODEL
That license is exclusive to the ML model (stated at the end of the readme), and that's not a license recognized by the OSI. As a matter of fact, some of the clauses in here feel like they're in disagreement with the OSI.
To top it off, the training scripts and datasets have not been provided. This is basically the ML equivalent to a pre-compiled binary.
Maybe I misunderstand but... it feels very misleading to say that the ML model is "open source".
Is this in bad faith or am I just confused?
you are just confused
What am I missing?
Like, this looks part open source to me, but the ML model itself is not.
This is like an application being called open source when only the front end is open source.
I guess the ML model isn't source code, but rather an asset.
I'm just not use to an asset being such an irreplaceable part of a program's behavior.
Like this isn't just an icon for the launch button. This is the ML model.
the model is still "open source", but open source as such does not apply to an ML model - without reusing or even reading the source in that repository whatsoever, you could still recreate the model in a few different ways. Another difference is that open source licenses are intended to describe permissions/liabilities for use of the code, and don't have the language to describe the same for use of an ML model. Given the propensity for abuse of this technology, new licenses are a legal necessity if only to protect the authors.
also it seems like you may be conflating the model with trained checkpoints / model weights, which are not present in this repository as they are provided in a binary format
as for training scripts and datasets - they are available, they're not relevant to the code for the model however. This is a library, not necessarily designed to be used as a standalone program
The dataset is a subset of https://laion.ai/blog/laion-5b/, and if you want to train the model yourself, the diffusers repository (https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers) provides some examples for training from a checkpoint
now, if you want to train the entire thing from scratch, that's still possible but you may find yourself limited if you aren't funded or don't have a friendly relationship with andy jassy
That was a much more useful answer.
It sounds like the OSI needs to expand their licenses to cover ML licenses as well then.
The fact that the training scripts and dataset are available is what was really important to me.
I understand few people have access to the hardware to run the training, and yeah... there's really nothing we can do about that at this time.
they didn't state which specific instance class they used, but assuming the cheaper option is fine and you're happy with training taking a year, then you can train weights of your own for a cool 3.84 million USD
I do suspect a solution will eventually be found, some day, and not through just making computers cheaper.
hmm, so I think the difference here is that the OSI only has relevance to source code - whereas a model does not necessarily have to be represented in code. A comparison would be patenting an algorithm but providing a reference implementation of said algorithm as an open source library
And algorithm, you're making me think I'm missing something critical to how ML works.
Are you saying that the dataset really isn't that important, but rather the way it's built is?
Err, that the weights aren't that important, but the way they're built are?
I mean the big idea behind open source is that the users of said software have a right to understand and modify that software.
If the license permits that, then I think it's in the spirit of open source.
Even if the means of modifying it may not be practical for an average user.
(Most people don't know how to read/write source code and even more people can't afford the hardware to train these models)
yup, that's a good interpretation
Okay yeah, then I'd treat those weights like a firmware blob.
I'm more familiar with embedded stuff.
the model itself is originally described in a research paper - if you wanted, you could write your own implementation, train on the same dataset they used (with the same preprocessing), and though you will never get identical weights due to randomness, you will get a very similar result
I'm okay with not getting a perfect replica.
Open source hardware won't give you perfect replicas either.
the model's license also does permit modification and redistribution etc, just needs to be separate from the source code as it's more abstract
I feel like I'm not following something though.
Are you telling me that a paper describing the model is in-line with being public source code?
I'm saying that the model is the description, whereas the source code is merely an implementation
Put up a basic proof of concept for this at http://141.148.63.115:5000/search?query=Gpu Prices (it's just an oracle vps not sure how well it'll load balance), it's using the previous 10 WAN show transcriptions for data (gotta run my script overnight to generate yesterdays). Change the query parameter to change the search term
I'll add context around the relevant chunks with +-2 embeddings so there is more information
ideally I'd generate the transcriptions with openai whispers large model but gpu can't handle that so it's currently scraped from youtube which I'll slowly be replacing with whisper ones
Should have it able to answer roughly questions about topics mentioned during WAN shows once that's done though
got it... thanks! 👍
when I have that sort of free time
at lan party
I just was sitting down and watching Friday's WAN Show, and I am all for Luke getting to work on a Floatplane Laptop. LMAO
Linus confusing Floatplane with Framework is almost as funny as Linus confusing Merch Messages with YouTube superchats every. single. show
Framework could totally do a Floatplane edition laptop.
I could get behind that collab, Framework's Floatplane Laptop. XP
Does anyone remember that hair removal tool Linus talked about a few WAN shows back? I think I'm man enough for that level of punishment
epilator, don't think he specified a particular brand
It's 50+ pairs of tweezers on steroids.
yo hold up WAN show videos are no longer on youtube?

Samsung is having heat related throttling issues with S22 phones https://www.sammyfans.com/2023/01/24/samsung-galaxy-s22-battery-drain-low-power-efficiency-heating-issues/
Did they ever mention the NAS software that they're investing in?
I was wondering the same
I haven't heard anything
Mentioned it was a couple ex unraid employees who are starting a new project. I tried to find people that left Lime Tech (unraid company) and see if they have new NAS related projects but couldn't find anything.
Guessing it's still in stealth mode. I would totally sign up to beta test it
My guess is it doesn't have a name yet. LTTNAS is my guess 😈
Linus talked a bit more about the “angel” investment in the startup last week, here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dhGKw7ph3s&t=8639s

Put up a basic frontend for the wan show search https://wan-show-search.vercel.app/. It has the past 4 months of WAN shows as its data. Currently sorting by most relevant to the prompt, I'll add metadata for date based sorting at some point. Transcriptions might fail a bit with company and product names since I can't run the best speech to text model on my computer. Feel free to dm me feedback.
Search previous WAN shows using AI powered semantic search
Sick. Would help in my quotes
oh that's a great idea, I gotta figure out what I was trying to remember so I can search for it lol
Listening to the Wheel of Pain episode. Not a fan of this segment 😥
no, I don't like it either
it seems disingenuous
sure you can play devils advocate on some issues, but that's because there's a part of them that understands where they are coming from
wheels are low tech. we need a random number generator of pain
Linus: (last week's wan show)
vast majority of households ... noones going to have 5 streams of 4k Netflix running at the same time
me with 2 4k TVs, 2 laptops with 4k screens, and a Sony phone with a 4k display:
You're running them all at the same time with native 4k streams?
Also, nothing matters, Dan said it best, I WANNN IT!
With regards to the tech layoff news, this is the funniest thing I’ve read today
Lol
There aren't community made or YouTube transcripts won't work?
I have to imagine there's tools for pulling autogenerated transcripts, if they even are
The youtube made ones suck with anything technical and company/brand names. I originally tried using them and they just didnt work well
There might be transcripts if you ask in other communities or places than discord I'm sure
I mean it's fine to just generate them with whisper, just a tad bit slow
👀
Are merch messages only available when the show is live? I'm going through every checkout step I can find and I do not see anywhere to add one
Yes, only when there is a stream active.
yeah that makes sense. Thanks for confirming, thought I was just missing it
Therell be a stream 
Yup, the question for Wan isn't if, but When
WAN SHOW WHEN

Heh
when where how
im new to catching it live, figured I got my timezone conversion wrong
Oh I happen to be awake during wan show hours
This'll be my first time watching live lmao
thoon
when does wan show normally start? i’ve watched the vods every day for 4 years and it’ll be my first time catching it live
Now half an hour late
They are schedueled for 5PM Pacific
It's been 40 minutes now since that
"scheduled" lol
They don’t even try to be on time any more lol
you must be new they may not be ontime but they never miss a show
lolol
might be interesting to graph the start times over a few months, but might be hard to get data after the fact
oh do links get yeeted?
I feel like I knew that
What were you trying to link in the first place
wasnt me
saw someone else get instantly boofed
said "will wan show start soon? vote here" with a link
wan sghow when
<t:1674867600> <t:1674867600:R>
wattt
ohm
is this a bot
no way it's Ariana Grande!
you expect a call from them to let you know whats going on ? lol
Hope they are just running late and everyone is okay
there always on time, where just early 😛
same bad time
same bad place
lol
same bad channel
A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to
Haha, no just a tweet or something, first time catching it live. Figured the “same bad time” was just an inside joke.
Lol no, they are always late, give or take several hours
Usually take
Sounds good, thanks!
It's also a reference to 1960s batman
There never on time linus has no time keeping skills lol
They should append the time schedule to 'Ish
https://www.lttstore.com/products/gpu-plush go buy a new gpu plush while waiting on WAN
Yes actually; I bought one of these phones exclusively for this purpose! I'm waiting for it to ring.
ooh
A blast from my childhood
Dude that pcie slot cover is ridiculous
i actually expect linus to give all of the regular viewers a personalized phone call to tell them that wan show will be late
+1
i want him to make so many phonecalls that he ends up not being able to start until 5 am the next day
Making a photo screen plushie for the wifes birthday and im so tempted to use that gpu plush now but the Snorlax will be cuter
maybe there giving the new person for wan time to get ready
i feel like wan show never
doubt that
same but i got the feel
I like it being late. 10pm est start time is perfect for me
i have a rifle competition tomorrow i got to be sleeping soon
I am usually asleep with wan playing in the background by 10pm est
soon™️
now.
TWITCH IS LIVE
wan show now???
just as soon as twitch stops its add i can engage in some preshow
Pre show yall less gooo
oooo i like those pillows
Those plushies are bigger then they look in the pics
Man I hope Linus discusses the misleading specsheet for the Razer Edge
the fp stream is dropping frames
same with twitch
im either blind or its not on my end
it looks ok now
yes
Linus be ridin dirty lol
Bouncin in his seat
bruh I put in an order but got no option to put in a merch message xP
too early maybe?
anybody who has experience with merch messages, could you help a person out? 😓
you probably did it too early
I would've waited to see the live message at checkout
F5 your cart until it shows, don't purchase until you see the box
waddarthoooosseeee
I think the bleep button is out of sync, it's unusually and unnecessarily long
Hmm. The pillow doesn't seem to have the best printing from what I've seen.
and misses
I missed something, did Luke have surgery?
Stream video keeps cutting to black intermittently for a short time
he had mouth surgery done earlier
wisdom teeth i think?
i think he got wisdom teeth removal mayve
ah
sounds similar to when i got mine taken out last year
Went outside, brushed the snow off the starlink, stream no longer cutting out. Go figure
that was horrible
The starlinks dont have a self heating feature to melt the snow?
oh
thats bad
from what I understand they are "self heating" just because of the inherent heat of the phased array and pushing that much signal strength, right?
thats -4 F
afaik
like sitting on top of a microwave
Apparently people who work on large communications arrays use them to heat their lunches lol
checks out
the guy who invented the microwave worked in communications and melted a chocolate bar from working on the dishes and was like
"i should be able to make noodles with this"
i dont think he actually said that but its funny to think about
Planning to take The Canadian back from LTX, 4 days on a train with "spotty" connection. I considered getting a Starlink to use on the moving train, but then looked into what it costs and given it basically needs line of sight, I don't think it'd be viable
Dan: "We've got time"
Wan show schedule: "um..."
They have all the time they want. Their hangin out this late. End of their week
what schedule
They not up yet?
*they're
Mmm popcorn 
Pre show is. Actual show in a couple mins
if I could convince VIA Rail to let me mount the thing on the roof with power it might work, it's within the service range the whole time and people have used them on the highway, but other than that I don't think it'd be usable outside the dome car
Cool. Felt like I almost missed the start due to my long nap
ohh i think I know why the bleeps are so long, both linus and dan are trying to bleep and one of them (probably dan) is off a bit
Did Linus get a new haircut?
Pre shows never on yt
twitch chat be like: how much did aprime pay
I really do not like the PCIe pins
I really don't like the pcie bracket
Oh new plushies. They talked about these like a year ago didn't they?
im more confused why it looks like a low profile rx580
I remember Linus talking about GPU plushies what feels like forever ago
ok good
was worried the wan show was canceled
Refreshing YouTube furiously
I dont think itll ever be straight cancelled unless something stupid bad happens
You fool. They're not missing the streak
Welcome to the wan show!
i hope there not doing the wheel today, that sucked last week
kinda agree
the wheel itself was pretty cringe
Is the video feedback stuttering for anyone
fine on my end
I see stutters from time to time but no buffering
Bro that darkviper video was up quick
now its smooth
Anyone mind pinging me when it ends?
I gotchu
see kids, this is why we ignore youtube chat
i see why linus said that they dont watch yt chat
they can have this one for free
dude that looks dope ngl
Give em a raspberry pi pico
I wish they had Lego PC stuff
new ltt idea
that is dope
lol
LTT's next sponsor - S-Airbag pro 😆 (the wearable old folks fall airbags)
brb canceling my floatplane sub
i think they did end it, just discussing more details than are in the vid
currently on FP
luke be spicy
i love luke spicy takes
Nice
this is rather chaotic
"one last merch message"
@knotty flint how long's it been?
I'm wondering what codecs floatplane use. I have an ongoing issue with my ISP causing my download to be limited to ~1.3Mbps. The stream is still quite good
i chose the wrong time to type that lol
Looks good on these speeds 😬
Temporary outage. Usually I should get ~350. I get around 400
I had an issue with my ISP where I would get 450+ download, but was only getting about 200kb upload. I tried uploading a 3gb video to youtube and it took like 18 hours
Oxio is a provider in Ontario and Quebec area and they are really open with community
I wish i had 30 up thats kinda nice. Im on 400/10 now and the download speed is nice but when multiple things are tryina call home or something it chokes a bit
Oh sorry, didn't see this. They took 12 minutes discussing that promotion merch message.
They have since provided more information as well.
Total was 21 mins 10 seconds for the whole merch stuff though
why am i not surprised lol
is that a discord server run by your isp?
Yes
never have i heard such a thing
They have their own official discord server
Mine also does
They have direct links on their site
i thought all ISPs were soulless corporate entities that couldn't care less about their customers
i wish i were in canada
These guys are a small service provider
Our larger provides - Rogers, bell, Telus are worse than their American counterpart
oh i'd believe it
My sister lives stateside and pays ⅕ my cell service and she has more data, and more features considered paid add-ons here
do you live super remote or something?
50 shades of space gray
Nope. Close enough to Toronto that people here are able commute daily to city.
Cities in Canada are dense, outside cities are small clusters of max 200k usually
This ISP is super good for cheap but if I go with one of the big ones, it's 3x the price for similar speeds and worse support in case you need one AND worse modem.
Majority of our population lives in major cities
80%
i mean you aren't forced to use their hardware are you?
Yeah
Oh god they’re covering the sleep mode
I can’t believe people were like “Woke Microsoft will shut down your console mid game to save the trees” I
If I hear anything else about Microsoft I swear
For modems, they all don't support third party modems. I do have my own network stuff though. Bell doesn't even allow setting their modems to gateway mode so you are stuck with double NAT. So at least this is better than that.
My uncle obsesses over fox news, he's insane so I wouldn't put it past them. My uncle doesn't believe in covid
It’s all SSD anyway
SSD startup is faster than hdd unsuspend
Bell is the only major fiber service provider in eastern Canada though
For context, the Xbox always had the shutdown option, the only change is the default.
That sounds dystopic. Mediacom lets us just use our own cable modem (against their own suggestion) and just records your modem's mac address on their end.
Tbh if Microsoft quietly rolled out this update nobody would notice for long.
Haha good luck getting Rogers to even entertain the fact that people can get their own modem. Used to be possible in 2019 but I think they now have a internal policy to not allow that because they won't allow it anymore
We desperately need some competition in telecom here. Even the condition in US is much better than what's here.
Remind me not to live in Canada lol
I feel like PC gamers were mostly about this
I respectfully disagree. I live in the rich area of the 3rd biggest city in my state and my maximum internet speed is 50mbps on dsl
It's bad here dude. We have 4 major players. And they have essentially divided the country in two - you get Shaw and Telus in west & Rogers and bell in east when it comes to home internet service. And Rogers is about to acquire Shaw.
That's...not any worse than the US...what?
and rogers used to be at&t lmao.. they didn't improve once att wasn't involved
The majority of the US has Xfinity, and AT&T.
i didn't know at&t even did home internet
tmobile does too
Every other company just uses their infrastructure
This is what you get here in a major city. This doesn't include rental and taxes.
All 3 telecoms have Home ISP services too
What in the actual hell is that
I was gonna move to Canada but I'm good now I think
probably because i live in the middle of nowhere
Well obv
That would be bell. Bell used to be party of bell system but that was long long ago
bell telecom = AT&T, yeah.
My city refuses to put in fiber and my neighborhood is a guild of old people, so TMobile and Verizon refuses to put up towers so no 5g home internet. Suck my dick CenturyLink
US still has smaller players with some infra of their own in major cities. In Canada even in Vancity or Toronto, you are usually stuck with Shaw or Rogers infrastructure
you immediately reminded me of this old video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yRHTD2Oie8
WARNING: LOUD VOLUME FROM A SPOILED CHILD LIVIN' IN A FIRST WORLD COUNTRY
Part 2 of the 8000 Subscriber Special will be out soon, but for now, I rant about a first world problem we had. Slow internet by CenturyLink! I'm not sponsored, but switch to SuddenLink if you can, because even while I'm typing this description for this video, the intern...
US rural areas are starting to get a lot of fiber due to gov putting out money/grants for running internet
Our government just keeps giving money to robellus and they keep pocketing it.
This is the exact same thing here.
so who here owns a bidet? lol
Used to. Miss it
we also have some isp that are literally some it guy getting pissed off and starting there own isp. with the gov grants there making bank now expanding rapidly
My dad thought about installing them
smh bring back crown corporations
Okay but wet wipes and Bidet's > Toilet Paper anything
Make Telus crown corporation again 😂
no ... remember the cantel at&t era?
yup exactly
still works well for saskatchewan
wait probably not that's likely 20 years before most here lol
jerryrigeverything's video about the government non profit that runs a fiber directly to your site, but you can pick any isp is an interesting idea
I've become pretty spoiled in the past 2 months with my internet
Point is, north america has it worse than developing countries in Asia. My parents home back in South Asia has multi gigabit for a whole year for what I pay for like a month and half for 350
my home finally got zoned for "True" AT&T Fiber, so I'm getting 1000mbps up/down for $80/month
tbf population density is a major factor in the cost
And my household qualifies for the ACP, so we're actually paying $50/month
I'd recommend one with built in heating. Esp if you live in cold areas. A bit more expensive but totally worth it
is that price permenant, or first year only? that sounds way too good to be true
I'm just hoping my freedom home internet doesn't get fubared by this whole shaw/rogers bullsh*t
whereas two months ago we were paying $105/month for 400/10 through Xfinity (who also isn't eligible for the ACP benefits)
It's permanent.
jeez
It's pretty insane yeah
mediacom will give you what looks like a good price for the first year or two, then double it without telling you because it's hidden in the contract
Australia has similar of not worse distribution but going by what a few friends there say, has better service. And most of our population is in cities which arr closely packed. Plus cities are clustered together.
Switch to sask on any ISPs site and prices always drop
service or price? over here in BC the majority of towns have great service nowadays, at least below 100 mile
yeah, I don't know anyone in saskatchewan that doesn't use sasktel
Home internet is afaik going with Rogers. Only cellular goes to Quebecor
I had to help my grandmother fix her internet service when they switched her service from a cheaper internet only promo plan to a combo internet+phone+tv plan that was $40 more because the old promo was "no longer available."
Both. Tbh we already have great infra in most places. Bell has 8gb in areas where they have fiber. It's the pricing and lack of competition that's the issue
price-wise, it's pretty dependent on location
there's a few towns with low costs (comparatively) due to them having updated infrastructure (usually because whatever ISP uses that town as a testing area)
in vancouver/victoria you can get cheap gigabit in one place then expensive 50mbps a block over, courtesy of old phone lines
I used to work for Shaw/freedom. They were just as scummy. As other three. So it won't change much
My current address doesn't have fiber but my previous address a couple kms from here has bell service with full 8gbps FTTH. It's expensive ASF though. You don't really need 8gbps but even more reasonable speed plans from them is easily $100+
i dunno the difference but shaw works crappy in my apartment, freedom works great; yes I know same hardware - different servers? I dunno...
Freedom hone internet is hosted on same infra but yes it is technically operated as a different service.
The provisioning infra is completely separate
Virtually speaking
i'm assuming different lower loaded switches/??? I dunno me and my neighbour literally swapped our identical boxes back and forth and the freedom gets decent up/down - he gets nowhere close
https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/#hey-guys for those interested in the article Linus is talking about
but he took the big tv so he's stuck forever apparently lol
Yes, kinda. The last mile is still same. So if you have your local hub full switching won't make a difference. But one level up they are split into different circuits
Is is kinda like a MVNO
i don't know infrastructure at all so yeah - i'm just assuming its something above us for load distribution thats the difference
Well you are on the right path
That said, it should not be happening. And it's not a given that both you and your neighbors even if you live nextdoor to each other might end up on same routes. Plus it's not static and keeps changing given the current situation
But all I can say is there's a lot of things that shouldn't happen that keep happening when it comes to large corporations so...
Just hand luke this

wan be long
Last week was four hours
yeah, i watched it after the fact since i slept during it 😛
please
God how long is this wan show lol
Been there. Me when I am up doing my stuff waiting for want to star, wan show will start at 10. When I say fuck it I'll take a couple hour nap after work - wan show starts at 8pm that day.
Same. I wake up early for the show, and wind up waiting an hour+ sometimes. But if i try and sleep an extra half hour i stg they will be early that day
its over
thats only happened once. it sucked tho
Was just about to but looks like someone else beat me @thick lynx
I was lucky. What was meant to be like an hour nap turned into 3 1/2, and I still wasn't really wait to wan. Just a little late to the preshow
Thanks! I'll start generating the transcripts for search now
we're getting close to 3 hours again
suck it i beat you to it
You can get 8 down already. You'll be paying 200+ by the end of contract but if you can afford it, why not!
i got around to watching the wan show and i am deeply disappointed in how they discussed darkviper's reaction content video, it is extremely ironic that they discussed his video without ever watching it when darkviper has had to deal with so much harassment from people criticizing what he said without watching his argument
Their instant backlash theory that was discussed seems to have been validated, though
But jeez... All they had to do was watch the video at some point. It was such a half-baked topic even though it was the title of tonight's show.
i just saw that linus has left a comment on the wan show saying that they'll address it next week, but it is insane to me that they'll leave this misinformation up for a week without addressing it more explicitly. it is also ironic given how linus in the past has said that he had shadow banned people for making moronic comments without watching the video
Transcript was added so it should be searchable. Pretty much have support for asking questions based on the WAN shows done so I'll probably get that out by the end of the weekend. No clue how I should title the cards for questions. Thinking maybe all the videos the data is sourced from since repeating the question looks stupid.
Why do people find any of this interesting
Both parties love this drama bullshit, they profit immensely from it
I think I'm paying for 1.4Gb, but receive closer to 2gb and haven't come close to using any of it. Money well spent!
Hot take. The next WAN show should 100% focus on tech news and tech topics. No time should be wasted on a troll trying to start drama.
what is this a tech tips channel 
I disagree. Absolutely 0% of it should be tech topics.
I wanna hear the best brands of cereal.
I want to live in the universe where Linux is a cereal connoisseur influencer.
Fully agree
I want to hear Linus thoughts a on a LTT Isekai store written by ChatGPT and animated by AI images
“My subscriber count for tech tips stopped growing so I went to another world to expand my merchandising opportunities?!”
テクスラ
darkviper has said multiple times that he gains nothing from drama and that it's actually costly for him to have to focus on drama rather than working on projects that he's actually interested in. also all of the harassment takes a toll on him
if anything, this drama started with linus / new wan writer for bringing this up at all since darkviper's video was not negative toward linus's reaction channel plans
It doesn't seem like they interpreted his video in a negative way, though?
The drama seems to mainly be darkviper fans who are offended that Linus didn't watch the video, and that he apparently disagreed at some points?
I'm totally uncertain as to how people could interpret any part of this WAN show as Linus criticizing dark viper
Also, following the spirit of Linus, I found a reddit comment that said that the writer's summary was pretty competent, and Linus agrees in his edited pinned comment, while darkviper says that it's almost like the new writer has something against him
So I'm just going to assume that he has not cultivated a particularly reasonable fanbase
I have shaw gig. my max speed on ethernet connected directly to is generally 80 to 120mbps it gets higher in the early morning but god I hate the up to word in advertising
are you sure you're not reading MB/s as mbps - 120MB/s = 960mbps, which is within the realm of your contract
no I'm not confusing MiB/s as MB/s. it's just them using the up to rule lol
I've seen well over 500MB sustained in the early hours of 4-6am but once there is even half an ounce of demand it shoots down to 80-120
okay I used the wrong measurement but point still stands. I guess I did confuse it to an extent but the fact that shaw is undercutting my internet still remains
bits versus bytes, catches us all at some point
note that in their clauses regarding gigabit plans, they have the following:
Maximum download speed for a single hardwired device connection is 940 Mbps.
Gains nothing but now has been invited on WAN show for Linus to publicly apologise for the perceived slight. Linus is being played by this drama troll.
Fifty shades of space grey
Wait, was he actually invited? Did nobody just Google "Darkviper drama" and see that Darkviper has started drama with many other content creators? He literally fishes for it and uses it to build his channel. His fan base also loves drama, so there is no benefit to LTT, only consequences for inviting over such a toxic community.
But the thing is darkviper has never actively looked for drama.
The big drama thing that happened was he wrote a script about how reaction content is bad for everyone but the person making the reaction content. He posted the script online for his viewers to proofread, then a bunch of drama youtubers found it and made videos about it without reading or understanding his arguments against reaction content. The intro video in his reaction content playlist explains everything that happened and why he dislikes drama
this whole mess is about how people create drama without actually reading/watching his videos. Had linus watched his video or read the show notes beforehand, then maybe they wouldn't have talked about darkviper's video or titled the wan show "my channel is getting called out" which can be seen as inflammatory when darkviper's video was, as we have all pointed out, agreeing with linus
He was indeed.
https://twitter.com/linusgsebastian/status/1619428438087192576?t=zlagh2XtbLGDCnAV7mEPIQ&s=19
I hope they actually look into him before accepting him onto the show. It didn't take me long to find some very shitty things in his history
@DarkViperAU @LinusTech I think the best path forward is to invite you on next week so I can publicly apologize for not taking the time to watch your video in advance, and then hopefully we can move on. I'll hit up your biz email or DMs. Whatever's open.

Are you saying that he accidentally tripped and fell into repeat-after-repeat drama with many of the largest content creators? My brother in WAN show, he is a DramaTuber. He has literally talked about how drama helps grow channels in the past. Not to mention, the dude has said racist things and has compared react content to r*pe. Yes, he actually did that. The dude is a 2023 Keemstar.
Also, if you actually watched the WAN show, you'd know that Linus didn't say anything negative towards him at all, nor did he misrepresent DarkViper's views. This comment says it best and I highly recommend that anyone curious about this situation read it: https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/10n7gra/darkviperaus_response_to_the_wanshow_segment/j67ye4f/ . Yet, DarkViper's response to the WAN show was that he was traumatized and he acted like Linus murdered his family.
The fact of the matter is that DarkViper purposefully fishes for drama for publicity, has done so countless times with other content creators like MoistCritikal, Hasanabi, Asmondgold, XQC, H3H3, Ludwig, and more, has a toxic community that loves drama since that is how he built his channel, and that LTT is just the latest victim since they didn't bother researching into DarkViper before using him for a click-bait WAN show title.
The best course of action for LTT is to cut their losses and ignore this DramaTuber. Any interaction with him will be negative since DarkViper's only goal is to purposefully incite drama.
So your problem is the clickbaity title but you're apparently fine with Viper using Linus' face and words like scam and low effort content in his thumbnail?
Let's just wait it out. If he shows up and acts like a jackass, then there you go. If he's chill and they have a good talk, then there you go. Making paragraphs back and forth is useless
can we just let the drama die off?
i get this "drama alert" vibe keemstar style coming up
and i want it to stop
The soonest i see it dying off is when he shows his hand of cards on wan next week
Nobody on the DVAU discord has been talking about it since yesterday and I'd like the arguments to stop here as well. me too bud
He has literally talked about how drama helps grow channels in the past.
citation needed. based on the videos i've seen, he has said multiple times that he dislikes drama as he believes "it's a waste of time, especially due to opportunity cost" [1]
the dude has said racist things
i am unaware of this, can you show a source for this?
has compared react content to r*pe.
i have seen this and it was mentioned in his videos and i agree that was a really bad analogy to make and is indefensible
Yet, DarkViper's response to the WAN show was that he was traumatized and he acted like Linus murdered his family.
i mostly agree with the view that in the end they both agree on the main points on reaction content. i agree that darkviper's reaction could be seen as an overreaction, but given the context of what he has been through, it is understandable how it is frustrating for him.
he spent a lot of time working on an argument against reaction content which gets picked up by moistcritical, which didn't accurately depict his argument. they had privately settled that argument, but other reaction content creators reacted to moistcritical's video which brought a huge audience to the drama. the problem was no one watched the original argument so everyone had this negative perspective on him. there were people who harass him for it without knowing his argument which understandably negatively impacted darkviper's mental health. he continues to get comments from random people disliking him for it
The fact of the matter is that DarkViper purposefully fishes for drama for publicity, [...] that is how he built his channel
i think this is factually inaccurate, most of his videos are around GTAV. he mainly uses videos on reaction content creators as evidence for his argument. he built his channel from speedrunning
[1] https://youtu.be/rylwib7pASo?list=PLAnJ4ZuTYaeGv4WIexP9C5LAuMEnMkG-Q&t=435
Two months ago I released an unfinished script for a hypothetical video where I criticized react content and this was responded to by MoistCritikal. At long last, I have completed my other projects and found time to work on finishing that critique. This is the first of 9 videos on the topic of social media and react contents impact on it. The se...
i agree, but i wouldn't call this drama. are we not able to have a discussion on events without to resorting to calling it drama? i just wanted to clear the air around darkviper since i think there's a lot of unfair opinions about him
i hope he goes on the show this friday so linus and him and clear the air surrounding everything, because i do believe they're both some of the most thoughtful creators compared to the rest of youtube
If the language starts getting vile it starts to seep more the dramatic way, and there has def been more vile words said on other platforms. I was mainly disagreeing with those who said that linus should retract the invitation because [their reasons]. I think the judgement should happen live
This^ I know the wisdom of the internet is to not feed trolls but this feels different. This is allowing him to either clear the air or gives them enough rope to hang them selves (proverbially)
Also for all the “I don’t want drama” people you don’t have to watch it. Give it a little and time stamp guy will have you sorted out.
I just think it was more then a little short sighted to not even watch part of a video then… react to it. YouTube comments are nearly meaningless. You would have better luck with tea leaves.
The drama ironically enough was created by the very react content that darkviper criticises
Its very easy to look at all of this and go "oh darkviper is just a jackass" but he really isn't. People simply dont have the attention span to read through the 14 page essay that darkviper put out and darkviper doesnt want to dedicate his channel to video essays. He has said many times in the past that his "rambles" section of the stream was never planned. It just evolved over time. He reads quite a lot of his chat messages and when something of importance catches his eye, he talks about it.
If dviper and linus collab on wan show I have feeling theyll realise that like 90% of their opinions overlap
So while I read darkviper’s doc on react content and agree with his conclusions, I think his approach has been actively terrible
So many unnecessary jabs and bad faith criticisms
Even in the document itself
Most of the people who make use of react content (even the bad kind) honestly think they’re doing something good/helping smaller creators, but the way viper characterizes them really feels to me like there’s no real desire to actually help a person realize the error of their ways and he just wants to “win the debate”
Now I don’t think that’s the case, that’s just what it comes across as
It’s really a shame, because I think what’s he’s saying is super important
But that plus a number of poor points will probably make a lot of it fall on deaf ears methinks
Wow alot of back and forth on this week's Wan show regarding the Darkviper thing. In my personal opinion this kinda shows that our community probably can't handle Linus or LMG by extension doing reaction videos.
They're already doing reaction videos though. Roasting Chinese rigs and testing tiktok hacks are the two recent ones that jump to mind - Given Linus' low opinion of react content he probably wanted them off the main channel but accepts he can't ignore the genre because he wants that 💵 -especially in a year he expects low growth compared to last.
DarkViper might have some good views on react content but given his history you'd have to be blind to not realise he's milking this/creating drama to gain relevance again. He loves to fly off the handle then play the victim, apologise or both.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if his entire hatred for react content was manufactured so he could point to it when he feels the need to DMCA react videos aimed at his shitty behaviour/simple reuploads of said behaviour.
Ok so it's kinda funny, because in my mind this exact line of reasoning is why I don't really like darkviperau's approach, because I feel like it kinda boils down to:
- You're wrong
- Character attack (which might be correct, but is ultimately irrelevant)
- Character attack (which might be correct, but is ultimately irrelevant)
- You are only saying that because it benefits you
Now given, it's less of a problem here because this is a discord with a few people casually chatting about a topic, but I think that form of discussion is super harmful when applied on a large scale and by people with a large following (or by people trying to push it to a large audience), plus it puts the emphasis on the other person being wrong rather than an honest and good faith search for the truth of the situation. Darkviperau might be doing all this for the clout and for free relevance, that's totally possible, but it's also totally possible that he truly believes what he's saying and fights for it for that reason. Regardless of his reasoning, the points for and against what he's saying remain the same, and so any more formal/public discussion of the validity of his points should include character attacks to an absolute minimum, because nobody is receptive to criticism right after they've been insulted.
Just watched dark vipers videos. His first on was decent. Nothing really in criticism of Linus. I can't recall anything bad Luke and Linus said about the video, however after listening can certainly agree that it was summarized poorly, and because it was summarized poorly, talked about poorly, and that's where a lot of the issue comes from. I know Linus is busy so I can certainly understand why he didn't watch the video, regardless it it being only 20 minutes. From what I recall at least he's said he doesn't very much consume YouTube videos.
That said, People's criticism of darkvipers latest response appear to boil down to the tone he typically speaks in, rather than what he actually said.
It can feel like he overly focuses on one point that reaction content and any content is biding for your attention/taking it away from something else that could use it. And it feels like he focuses on it so much that it's saying that anything taking attention away from anything else feels bad, even if that isn't his intention. He does feel genuinely passionate about it
writing checks might be time and money consuming...can't imagine LTT store credit for compensation would take that much resource
checks or store credit, it's still money and you need checks and balances and accounting etc.
I mean, yeah, the problem is not that either creator has really hot takes on react content
The problem is that Linus didn't watch the video, and Darkviper's response makes it seem like Linus just completely fucking trashed him for no reason, even though he... Didn't?
I guess neither of them properly watched the other content lol
Honestly, DVAU just takes this stuff too seriously. I get that making 1 video expressing why he may feel negative towards that type of content is OK, but he just gets way too triggered by anyone who decides to make such content, after which he just hyperfixates on that, until it develops into propper drama.
Overall hes a good GTAV youtuber, but hes just a bit "bratty"
he is not my favorite person of all time he makes some good point at times
but can fall into the trap many drama youtubers do
some of what linus said was a bit tone deaf he didnt trash on dark viper but it definitely appeared as though he didnt give a fuck about what he had to say
which was the problem
Part of the issue that because he didn't watch the video, some of what linus said seems to insinuate that DV said stuff that he didn't.
"50 shades of space grey" was SO GOOD
Linus troll face

this guy is stealing your stuff
idk where else to send this
I think theres an ltt email in video descriptions
If not there is Twitter or the LMG website.
On the About page for the channel on YouTube you can hit the little flag icon to report the channel, I reported it for impersonating the LMG Clips channel
Location: South Africa
Here is the link for the actual YouTube channel if you want to report it
👀
Is the wan show on today
yes
supposedly in about an hour, but its never on time
They haven’t missed a show in a long time.
When wan
now
Yt?
preshow
its on twitch
is it just me or is it buffering alot
they are using the swear button
So the stealth desk pad....does it have no pattern? or is it a black on black pattern
This was early?
@cinder lark It looks on lttstore.com that it is just black
Or maybe just on time lol
this is the closest to on time they have ever been lol
Well. Glad I happened to notice only 3 minutes into the show lol
Had just finished another YouTube video.
Early, aka on time
"on time" is normally between half past 1 and 2amGMT
I don't even know who this guy is tbh 🫤
GtaV speedrunner.
are they going to talk about the intel quarterly earnings report?
i recognize DarkViperAU from his videos related to video game cheater exposés
This is some pointless drama imo
Yep. I don't watch LTT or WAN for YouTube drama.
This is my first time chatting in this channel just to ask what the hell are they talking about....?
houston we have another bleep failure
Drama about drama of reacting to potential drama
I watched it from the start and still I'm lost lol
they talked about it the last two weeks i believe
They’re gonna have fun dealing with copyright if they do continue with this reacting crap.
so why is linus saying I'm mad? I just joined.
I'm not mad.
I'm not sure why he thinks I'm mad.
oh sorry I just read what @sharp pulsar wrote
although I'm not sure what he is talking about specifically
All your fault @violet viper .
true true.
It's essentially in response to last weeks (unless it was 2 weeks ago? times blurry) wan show which had a title topic of him reacting to a video the guest here made reacting to linuses plan for a react channel. With a bunch of complications of people (notably including linus) not actually watching the video so miscommunications and angry commenters abound.
Okay that's what I thought, thanks 👍
but thanks for explaining it @slim compass89
@cinder lark No problem I was considering buying so I jumped ahead of them showing us to see
thank god they kicked that guy off of the wan show
jebaited
Linus switching to his laptop screen again on accident
Man I got a phone call I can't end right when the show started. I feel like I'm missing so much.
I'd say the show still hasn't started honestly...
That's the best part of the show!
Yeah, honestly I can't imagine anyone actually cares about this topic
Such a terrible segment
damn, the youtube top chat with this wan show stream is on fire
Okay, call on hold for a while... Catching up at 2x speed. 😐
inb4 the community backlash against DarkViperAU's appearance contributes to another segment next week and a lengthening of the "drama" by another week lol
Most boring episode yet
its really tense imo
cmon.. linus closed the topic.. then starts it up again
React = trash
i thought react channels were dead already
They are
Linus is absolutely terrible at this
react stuff is crazy popular..
he basically just relied from his team who watches the vid (not him)
he probably doesnt want to say "i just dont have the time" in stream cause it might be insulting but i felt like this is the emotion i am feeling with his tone
I took the time to watch the various videos and streams involved before commenting, so I knew what I was talking about
yeah
The crux for me is I don't care that much about what viper says or Linus's disagreement
talk about something else
the crux for me is that I have no context, any idea, or care about what they are talking about
For not caring, you guys sure like to talk about it a lot. Maybe just close the stream?
not a lot of people did watch darkviperau's video about reaction channels imo
someone should make a supercut of each wan show segment covering this "drama"
I watch the WAN show for WAN show topics
Funny reactions. "I don't like this so I'm going to watch it and be angry."
This just happened to be a terrible topic
Finally he's gone
i rarely watch the wan show kek
ffs people on Youtube chat are so idiotic
I didn't watch the past couple of streams or video - thought the segment was interesting
lmao
I wonder if we can luke to reference "balls and taint" in the eufy talk.
Thank god
yep, they're on fire af
lol
youtube chat makes me facepalm glad I don't see it when watching the replays
people are mad that Linus did a terrible take on darkviper's video last week
that's why they are talking about this
floatplane video in PIP mode, no chat to deal with except discord 😄
I know why
the comments will be on fire and i wouldnt be surprised if darkviperau made a Reply video to it or something
hes probably making that video rn after the call
I just don't think the needed to spend 40+ mins on it
LOL
@violet viper thanks for the feedback!
like in seriousness, is the [WAN Show viewers] memory so bad?
Same for me. Floatplane chat on android is weird. Causes the entire app to go sub 30fps on all my devices
Ah, I only watch on pc 🙂
i actually dont know lmao
i rarely watch the wan show and when i do watch it, i just watch to hear linus or luke's take on a specific tech news
i do watch supercuts but mostly i watch it for some business and somewhat personal related stuff (i dont even watch the stream comments lol)
mate where in the 413 are you from
What a disgustingly toxic community this is. Later all.
And on iPad it just stops updating after a while.
what
homestuck
also wow that person left FAST
The hive mind is everywhere
never heard of it
Mobile dev has a lot of quirks to deal with, especially for a smaller dev team
a webcomic
whio? the @rugged notch guy?
I would imagine floatplane chat isn't as annoying(?)
yeah he sent the message and DIPPED
probably
yeah that kid was butthurt ngl
dude rips a terrible take and then gets mad that we made fun of him for it
that's funny
lmao
I just came to see if anyone knew what they were on about I joined the stream late so I was pretty confused
he's probably going to the floatplane chat
nah nobody knows tbh @maxmarvel
I certainly don't
same, i was a bit confused too
I am confused lol
i don't know nothing bout nobody
i might watch the supercut later once its out
where do they post supercuts?
double negative lol
Today's wan is completely off the rails
very true @motorone
Today's? when is the show on the rails
^
i hate that youtube is so good at lying plausibly enough for most people to believe them tbh
(in response to linus calling on anker to at least lie plausibly)
WHAT
I'd probably do the middle one
honestly mystery seems the way to go with all their old designs
true true
nvm large mystery shirts sold out LOL
I like nep most of their designs past and present. I didn't think I would until I actually got it.
Definitely grew on me though as I wore it.
gonna grab a jerryrig knife and a 40oz bottle bc the seal on my 21oz isnt great and it dribbles
I have a bunch of the bottles, in both of the smaller sizes. They're lovely
man LTT stock in shambles you can pick your bonus bin item
2022 pack stickers (already have lol)
shoelaces (sold out)
they cleaned house on black friday gah dam
wait omfg im actually stupid
2 gambles
i saw WANSHOW 15% off and free shipping in the floatplane wan stream description and i thought it was for lttstore
bc there was a merch message up when i saw it
and my brain said "those are related"
big brain moment @graceful sandalastley

I didnt expect the stealth desk pads to be just all black. not even a logo. I'll be keeping my northern light one though
Luke may have been an idiot, but PS1 games actually worked like that.
You could put PS1 games into CD music players and play their soundtracks
Wow, someone with my name and last initial bought a mouse pad
I remember doing that with Twisted Metal 3
Imposter
are we switching to bing now???
Twisted Metal 3 had a lot of Rob Zombie in it's OST
Two songs and one remix specifically
Superbeast for LA, Meet The Creeper for Blimp, and the remix was I forget the song name but it was Christmas because North Pole level
(that said, I liked TM4's OST more)
real
the stealth desk pad gunna show all them "lotion" stains
"Weird, why did they stop roasting viewer setups some time after the stealth desk pad launched?"
How about that Watchmeforever Twitch channel?
The infinitely AI generated episode of Seinfeld
Mention of the single shoe lace in the merch message, but then no comment on the sending out an extra like they said they were going to...
Go for a 4 hour wan?
Linus getting angry about snacks 
I'm like 4 minutes behind live lol
how?!
Hm.
Linus would make a reasonable MLA or local city councillor.
Partisan politics would drive him batty.
Anyways, his chatting about Mr. Beast / Jimmy sparked the thought for me.
Mann why did wan spend so long on the darkviper thing? Ive got his channel blocked on every platform hes on and im sitting here with him thrown in my face for 45mins, or skip half the show
i got around to watching the darkviper segment and i think it went well for everyone
however, it was weird that at 27:03, when linus switched to his screen for the "tiger protection stone" gag, it sadly break's darkviper's audio just as he's describing the negatives of reaction content
also, linus says that he disagrees with points that darkviper has made about reaction content, and i was really hoping they would discuss those points as it would be really interesting to see each other's view points
Can we be done with it already please? Holy hell. After wan last week everyone said "please dont make next week about this" yet they did.
No, we must talk about it again next week, and the week after 😄
Couple things that Linus needs to change is 1) how he gets his view point on a video. By actually watching the video the comments are about. Otherwise he may get an incorrect view point by comments from people who also don't watch the video, and just comment, which, if you're gonna do that, shut your cake hole please.
And 2) following his own advice with cheaters. There's been a few times where he's cheated in channel super fun. To me, a game is no longer fun if you're gonna cheat. I think a new rule needs to be established for any games on channel super fun. If you cheat, you're automatically disqualified.
@grizzled charm 100% agree. I was really hoping LTT wasn't going to take the bait... but hook, line, and sinker.
I tuned in for the pre-show, as I have for years now, saw the tease of the guest, and for the first time, turned the WAN show off.
I usually wake up to watch early. And something told me take an extra hour nap. Glad i didnt wake up for it but oh well. Cant please everyone and I'm just another no name bitching
I honestly was not upset at the comments last week. I was mad at the piracy stuff but last week there was no need, I do care that for a while now seems like the wan show is focusing too much on drama. dont know. dont care much. i need a talking show to get by weekends so this fills the spot.
my favorite youtubers in one video, that was quite enjoyable to watch.

The bulk of merch messages are actual messages that get displayed on screen though, which is maybe what the senders care about? Never really got the appeal of non-question messages
Right there in the “lower third” on Floatplane, Twitch and YouTube
Might be a vod thng.
The ones that appear on screen (in the middle where the big LTTSTORE.COM plug goes) flash up a lot earlier in the show and dry up toward the end
yes, its on youtube.
A question can be a message
They are easy to miss to be fair.
Who is “everyone”? I feel like I saw just as many post saying the opposite. I thought it was good and cleared the air for all parties including the proby writer. I am still a little baffled by how a person who make a living on YouTube doesn’t actual watch videos? But whatever if Luke can change his mind how could I lol
I also am generally not a fan of “guys please stop talking about it” attitude as can hurt good and meaningful dialog. And I have been know to -figuratively!!- “beat a dead horse” several times so I might not be the best to judge.
Anyways… back to your original question: I think it’s safe to assume that this should be the last we hear of it? For a while at least…. Probably?
Everything seemed pretty amicable, so I think that's a wrap
Those who say that usually don't have an argument against it, so the only thing they can say is that.
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to pitch the topic but in case you would like to make this a talking point on the WAN show; it appears youtube creators are getting hacked and locked out of their accounts, to which the hacker promptly renames the channel as TESLA, starts a "live" stream with a recording of Elon and promises free giveaways. I've now seen this happen to 2 channels that I follow. I have captured a screen shot of the stream if interested
Go to https://establishedtitles.com/Economics and help support the channel. They are now running a massive Valentine’s Day Sale, plus 10% off on any purchase with code ECONOMICS. Thanks to Established Titles for sponsoring this video!
Established Titles is a fun novelty gift, meant for a good laugh and not to be taken too seriously. Established...
That’s going to be an interesting WAN show if Linus covers it
I’ve seen that. And a video that covers the pattern.
Channel gets compromised. Changed to TESLA LIVE.
Then loops the same Elon video on crypto and a link in the description to sign up for free Bitcoin from Elon.
There has been a serious hacking incident on youtube recently with many channels, some with thousands and even millions of subscribers being hacked. And these channels will then be renamed to "Tesla Live" and start streaming Elon Musk Bitcoin related scam streams. Watch the video to find out how this hack works and how you can prevent yourself f...
So i sent a merch message some time ago, and i never saw it on screen is there some other place merch messages show up on? Appart from the live feed? Like if i am too lazy to watch the video again. (I listen to the wan show i dont watch the wan show). it would be nice for messages that get answered generate a email response. Maybe its too much to ask. I really wish they could live on the youtube app comment section so i could see them when i browse.
Every submitted Merch Message is reviewed by the producer and/or Linus and Luke, and can either be:
- Shown on screen in the lower third
- Shown and replied to on screen in the lower third
- Curated for reading out and answering on the show - would also see a “Thanks! X person scored a merch” on screen
- Rejected for a number of reasons - might still see a “Thanks! X person scored a merch” on screen
- Marked Potential for Linus or Luke to review and either Reject or answer, usually when they run out of Curated messages toward the end of the show
- Archived mainly to indicate the message has been dealt with as above
I get that Netflix is seeing 100 million households sharing their passwords as "OO look 100 more million accounts to sign up"...100% guarantee that is NOT what will happen.
If anything it'll make people cancel or not sign up
I cancelled as soon as they wanted more than $13.99USD for 1080p
what's the point of paying for 4 screens if all 4 screens have to "login" to my wifi every 31 days...yeah...not happening...I'll stick with Disney+ or others that let me go to my friends' houses and sign in to watch something together
That’s a Floatplane exclusive feature 🙂
No it isn’t.
12 hours till the wan show lol
Man, the way he stands his phone up partially folded makes me nervous every time
I've never seen somebody else do that with their Fold
I wonder if the reddit phishing attack is going to be on wan shield
who pumped for wan show this week
👀 👀 😆
1 hour!
I need my fix of three hours of aimless tech nerd conversation
Whats linus gunna get cancelled for this week? Or drama free show today?
Hogwarts Legacy?
Oh god forgot about that. He probably bought multiple copies too because of his kids
Not that i care, but vocal minority
His kids are to young to seem likely to be into it and Linus doesn't seem like someone who would of been into it when he was growing up 
I guess more since I don't think Linus would be into it, means he wouldn't of been likely to introduce it to his kids
Wait, it hasn’t started yet? I thought I’d missed it
I mean safe to bet it will be possibly off by up to an hour most weeks
I think I remember it starting on time once, it’s hazy
yeah it felt like it was just last week
Yeah last week ran pretty much on time
it was actually a few minutes early if you consider the preshow to be the start
it can range anywhere from 5 minutes early to like 2 hours late
I've seen the pre-show go live at like 6pm cst on twitch and the main show not start until 8pm cst lol it was entertaining
yeah looking at the wan show bot, seem like on time happens from time to time but 30-60 mins late is the norm
then you have the ones that are 2 hours late 
but what if this is the one they finally miss?
There are some of those people over in Europe who are going to be very tired
But I would guess if it wasn't going to happen they would post about it, hopefully less then 2 hours late
live on twitch
that they are
live
Well Luke is live 
its the best part
ltt tracksuit???
Haha
Is it a track suit or a light jacket?
I feel like the Russian sanctions may have negative impact on track suit sales
it's a track jacket/joggers
Preshow is LIVE all!
they have to squat on ltt bottles for the product shot for the tracksuit
And pre-show is up
To bad the don't monitor this chat lol
even the pants???
Did Luke get a hair cut?
I mean I've seen Bell post in here before the show a long time ago XD but I mean that was when Bell was on production instead of Dan
Well confirmation is track suit
Those paying attention to the store knew about the suit prior to the preshow being live.
cool
i was gona say in the mean time go to lttstore.com and check out our new product as a joke in pre-pre chat but i just went with the check out lttstore.com and when i opened it saw there was a new product lol
Dark mode is important but browser extensions can fix it. We need background play in the app 😦 which is in beta rn tho so hopefully soon
I can only see the title, which sponsor dropped them?
What chat is he reading?
Luke only uses FP chat
floatplane
Ahh
We have not been given any details regarding the title yet as its still preshow
Damn I should just sub to fp
Join the blue names
God, the people I've told implementing dark mode isn't easy. At least it can come out of Luke's mouth now. It's certainly not "a few css tweaks"
Lol I'm guessing that's what happens when you sub
yeah, there are at least 2270 of them online right now in the discord
Yea you get an extra chatroom and name color in here
Ahh well I binge enough ltt I should just do it already. Ltt or j2c are almost always playing
Theres alot of behind the scenes for you to binge on floatplane too
i had no idea it actualy changed them lol
but yea join the blue side
Its been the Luke Tips pre show
just pre-pre show
New hoodie?!
Tracksuit
I kinda dig it.
wait is it up now? (the vid aprt)
Preshow is live on Twitch/floatplane
Head over to lttstore and pick up the jacket and/or joggers as you see fit
looks like its up
im on fp rn its still jyst black for me
im walking about the video
Maybe refresh? pretty sure he is reading from floatplane chat
okay I'll be right back then.
I have twitch chat collapsed cause I assume its just anarchy
nah twitch chat is decent
yea i did it seams to show now
i wonder how mutch i missed lol
its not moving at an absurd rate. Which is what I expect when there is 1k+ viewers
There was some talk of floatplane player upgrades and some stuff they are likely just going to have to drop. For awhile now been Luke Exercise tips
What's the longest preshow?
anyone known what time luke came on and vid started?
32min now
ive sean some prop over 20+ min
He was sitting there once I got past the ad and its just crossing 33 mins in a bit on twitch
...i missed so mutch
For future reference
i bet when it became the black loading screen it came but didnt load for me
oh my, Luke does squats with the gf on his shoulders
impressive XD I am no where near that muscle mass
Where is Linus?
luke squatting his gf LOLLL
I'm pretty sure I saw a video of the mountain doing that. Luke=The Mountain confirmed
I don't think anything has been said, presumably something work related is keeping him
Its adorable!
40 minute preshow.
Watch this hit an hour
2 hour preshow. 5 minute recap on thetopics techlinked style
Imma start hitting the gym soon too. My apartment gyms open 24 hours now. Been down to check the place out once. Wonder if theyd let me setup vr in there? Could print a sign so people know to feel free bug me if im in their way or they wanna try
wanshow might hit over 4hr toatal
Long wan lets goooo
It's just that Linus is late because he's filmingsomethingright
wwan show
o heard a Linus
HES HERE
I dont see the wan show is it not on the ltt yt?
Only on Twitch and Floatplane now
preshow so no
oh
Till youtube starts soon
Still preshow, all we have gotten of linus is far of voice of him saying he will be there soon XD
I'm guessing he is hitting bio between whatever he was doing and start of wan
he had to go wash up real fast
Pls no, I can only timestamp for long enough (and description has max of 5k characters limit lol)
Yeah I was figuring maybe grabbing water and a snack before wan
oof
Why did he specify the new track pants have metal aglets? Just for the sake of promo? The sweats have them too. Thought it was just a general quality thing
did the WAN show with Luke post oral surgery get unlisted or something?
I figure your safe it may be 4hr on twitch and floatplane but main show won't get that far
Still need to stay up to 7-10 am depending on how long the pre+show is :v
They are heading for that 2 hour late mark though XD
The metal aglets was in response to dan hearing some subtle ticking sounds, which luke was explaining was him tapping the aglets together
oh
He be linus
he arive
I had assumed the thumbnail would be them in the costume they wore that episode
He adjust his headfon
nah I believe they wanted that to be a surprise
50 minute preshow so far. Do they preshow for another 10
lol yeah I think gonna be 50
Oh new merch message stuff
I guess they must of done the thumbnail before the preshow
53 minutes
very boring stream so far
I see it just ticking to 50 min now
there
NOOOO
Ticked to 53 for me
?
i buffered and mistsd intro..
