The real scam is we all know if the new memory was pushing 1-2% in the other direction, it would suddenly be all over the boxes and labels and naming scheme.
So glad to see a long form WAN again, I was worried it was a company mandate to shorten them and these would never return. 4 hour ones get me through a weekends worth of housework, dog walking and errands.

For low-volumed Linus-muted portions, rather than raise the volume, I suggest turning on the automated captions; they're at least great at catching low-volumed statements w/o exploding your ears the next line. There's a site (YTC) where you can search comments for YT videos so you can find timestamps in the sea of comments easier, in case this or anyone else timestamping happen to not appear immediately.
@@theotherLewbowskiApologies. WAN Show had some kind of bundled news topics that were collated to have one discussion period if applicable. Atm, I've written them like as brief as possible while not becoming too long to read. 'Not exactly my strong point but I try.
Would it be possible for a bad actor to make a good comment to get likes then edit it to something bad to trick the creator into banning everyone who liked the good comment?
Could be solved by the creator being able to see a timeline showing when likes and edits happened on a comment, preferably including what the comment read before any edits.
Also nowadays if the creator give you a "love", but you edit your comment later you lose the "love", probably to avoid this types of troll. If youtube remove all likes from edit comments problem solved.
@@Mecawavethere are a lot of other problems: 1) someone can accidentally like a comment 2) someone can accidentally type a slur or their phone might auto-correct into something offensive . I saw someone on a discord channel that misspelled "kek" as "k-i-k-e" which apparently is an antisemitic slur and got banned by the automod. 3) someone can like a comment without fully understanding its meaning. Especially for non native English speakers. 4) something that is offensive for an American might not be for someone on the other side of the globe. And the problem is that with big channels nobody is gonna bother to manually review bans to check for those niche situations.
You should add a light or a sign that lights up when you're muted. There's probably an easy and simply solution that Dan could integrate with the stream deck.
Dan, can you make Linus' mute button on the stream deck thingy flash annoyingly while active, so he doesn't forget that he's muted? That would be nice, thanks. :D
My girlfriend cringes every time I throw all of my clothes into the washer together. She's the sort that has a load for whites, colors, and darks and will often have other special purpose loads along the way. I own three articles of clothing that I cannot wash my way, and all of them were presents from her. It drives me nuts every time I wear one of those items of clothing (usually at her request) that I have to go through so many extra steps just not ruin these pieces of clothing. I applaud you for understanding the mentality of your audience and not "giving in" to the experts on your team that do not fully understand the customer.
I’m the opposite with doing my laundry, but I agree with you that everyday basics (like merch shirts) should be very easy to wash and dry. I choose to put in the time and care so that I can get *more* life out of my clothes, but it shouldn’t be mandatory for getting a reasonable lifespan out of them. Certain things, like bras or suit jackets, will probably always require special care. But making everyday basics easy to maintain can help reduce the ridiculous amount of waste that the clothing industry generates.
Clothes for people with fashion interest are much more care-intensive, and that's why the majority of my clothes are commodity materials. If it can't go in the washer, then the drier, I'm not going to buy it or wear it. With very few exceptions (special occasion wear.) Same with stuff in the kitchen. If it doesn't go in the dishwasher, it doesn't go in our kitchen. I can count on one hand the number of items that don't fit that description, and most if not all of them were given to us. We sure didn't buy them.
I adopted a cat with FIV (he's my only cat, so I don't have to worry about him transmitting it). Cats with FIV are more likely to get sick, so they cost more in vet bills, but, with proper care, their lifespan is basically the same as a cat that doesn't have FIV.
I never understand people that buy $3000 shoes. I get having a pair or two of fancy shoes to wear to a wedding or something, but if you can't walk on the ground in your daily use shoes. What the hell are you even doing?
probably just a rich people thing, like if you're willing to spend a certain percentage of your income on clothing getting rich means you get to spend a lot more. like I probably wouldn't be buying shoes but if I was rich I'd probably be buying a lot of dumb overpriced shit as well (like electronics or cars or something)
Meh. I have a friend who usually has a couple grand in trainers at any one point. She wears them though as accessories, not just kept as a pristine collection. But 3K on one pair of shoes is excessive, unless they have a few pairs (meaning they have lots of disposable income).
I have a "nice" pair of what I call Funeral Boots which are just black Sketchers or Lugz work boots that I wear for funerals & weddings but other than that I just use my regular sneakers (sketchers or converse 70s), my cheap Walmart cowboy boots or my work boots ($60 Chinese made tactical style boots) for everyday wear. I do have a $100 pair of Reeboks I just bought the other month as golf/tennis only shoes but those are basically like the funeral boots in that I'll wear them a handful of times a year and they'll last me a decade haha
@@zwenkwiel816 not even. If you’re rich, you don’t care about your expensive shoes because you can always just replace them. This is unique behavior to people who don’t actually have the money for luxury goods, but want to look like they have the money for luxury goods.
You know what's weird about the naming conventions? There's 10 numbers available, they can call it a 4071. They can call it a 4160. They're not going to run out of numbers.
One of their initial mistakes, I think, was skipping the rest of the 10 line (except for the GTX 16xx series), and skipped by 10s then. They left the ones places of the supposed generation number to rot, as well as the rightmost ones number. =3=
I loved the zoning in Japan. 2-3 streets from my apartment was a fresh foods grocer in the middle of a residential area. Full size grocery was a 10-minute walk away, by the train station. Plenty of neighborhoods can't even be called "residential" because it's apartments above & retail on ground (or even lowest several floors).
You should visit Europe, it's more of the same except no convenience stores. I don't know of a place in my country that isn't walking distance from a grocery store.
@@Suzumi-kun The more rural areas aren't walking distance from stores. But you're point stands, European cities being mostly built before the car have excellent walkability.
@@Suzumi-kun I've only been to France in Europe. But yeah. It seems that's how it is in most of the post-industrial world. AUS & NZ less so, but still not like the US (and I assume CAN). Since Japan is very mountainous, even the rural areas are basically crammed together. But, there are certainly exceptions. The longest I ever had to walk due to no public transit was 3 km. It was a rural factory town.
@@Suzumi-kun Not everywhere. There are local convenience stores where I live. They are small some are open 24/7 too. Very convenient exactly as the name suggests.
@@modarkthemauler In this case rural would have to mean actually away from other people. Even small villages tend to have at least a tiny convenience store, especially if they’re not a walking distance from supermarkets. Not only do they get traffic from locals, they also attract cyclotourists.
>Subscription based exercise equipment. I'm sorry, what? Is this real life or am I in the middle of an hallucinatory fever dream based in a Paul Verhoeven film?
Nordic Track is terrible for it. You can use the bike with very basic functions without a sub. If you get the sub, you get full function, but you still are limited to doing their crap on the display. You can't stick on a movie or play UA-cam etc. it was hackable, but they've been working hard to block it.
The value of peloton is not the equipment (which is still very good), it’s the content which is both archived going back years and years and constantly produced with live instructors in a classroom going on planned exercises set to music and specific difficulties. It’s an ecosystem which simply isn’t matched and is worth the price tag.
@@mmonkeyman1403 Never used it myself, but yes -- their differentiator is that it's both a product and a workout buddy / personal trainer. The latter is labor and/or intellectual property .. hence the subscription. It's a whole other matter when manufacturers lock on-device functionality behind a pay-as-you-go system. That's just poor buyer judgment.
@@garthor heck no. This is a basically unlimited amount of guided content for all skill levels that you can access with or without the piece of equipment that they sell to specifically integrate with the bike or the treadmill or whatever. They have spinning, running/walking, and other guided workouts. It’s a whole ecosystem
@@Burnthehivebut a move like this will destroy the overall trust in Peloton. Up until now you could basically take the "if I'm not interested anymore, I'll just sell it again with limited losses" route when deciding what to buy. Now after introducing a fee no one can say if they will increase the fee (maybe even dramatically) in the future and that makes the "I'll just sell it again" thing more or less obsolete
@@modarkthemauler There already is it's Nordictrack/Proform and they have the same model as Peloton pay $1500 for a bike and $30-50 a month for a subscription.
When a manufacturer has multiple variants that perform poorly without clearly marking the difference, the standard for reviewers/benchmarkers should be to only list the lowest performing version since that's the guaranteed level of performance a customer gets when buying a card. If everyone standardized on this, it would force manufacturers to clearly lable downgraded versions.
Yes, but consider that the old reviews (where the reviewers couldn't foresee that this would happen) will still show up in search results, so customers who don't look EXTREMELY closely won't even know that a revision has happened.
@@magfal it always annoyed me with Samsung phones, in Europe we got the ones with the worse exynos chips but most of the reviews are from the US with the snapdragon versions. Not their fault of course
It's done on purpose. Like this is easy mode. Look at the laptop market and their components, which can have wildly different performance based on X amount of model-specific factors compared to their desktop variants. If this gives a headache to experienced pc enthusiasts, you can be sure the majority of the consumers d be 100% at the mercy of equally clueless sellers and their corporate overlords...
It should be illegal to launch multiple differently performing products under the same model name. Changing the memory for lower speed/bandwith /higher latency memory is one of those things.
Wasn't Linus collecting multiple revisions of the same model ssd from ?A-Data that kept getting slower internals? I remember he reached out on WAN for people with particular revisions, but can't remember seeing a video after.
@@benwu7980 realistically you can't make millions and millions of a product that all have the exact same performance though. like they have to source parts from different manufacturers and some of them might perform slightly better or worse. as long as it's all "within spec" it's not really an issue though. like sourcing could be the reason for this change in memory Nvidia did as well. and Linus mentioned it's like 2% difference or something? like in real world scenarios it might just fall within the variance that 4070's already have....
@@zwenkwiel816 Oh Adata went much further than only 'slight' changes. They changed the flash from originally Micron to Samsung to SK Hynix. They also kept changing the controller. Each of those revisions made a difference, always for the worse. There was a few other revisions too They kept the same model name, but the original or second revision performed around 15% faster than the fourth or fifth.
@benwu7980 yeah 15% doesn't seem within spec. I still wonder about these 4070's though. Like if its just a few % on memory I dno how much real world performance difference there is. Like no doubt in synthetic benchmarks you'd see it but in games memory is only really an issue if it's not enough/ too slow. If this slower memory is enough to keep up you might not see any difference at all. Like still a scummy move to not add a revision to the model name but I don't think performance will be as disastrous as some people seem to think.
I think Linus forgets about a major factor for peloton's resale price being so low. Any large object that takes up significant space in a room will always have decreased resale value as when they are not being used. They are an active burden to keep and actually cost money to throw away. Taking something like a peloton to a junkyard costs money, so the prices are always lower to incentivize someone coming and retrieving it. Since you are generally attempting to reclaim the space once you've admitted, you're not actually taking up home exercise. I'm a musician and you see the same thing with pianos all the time, literally to the point that they're free because they require work and have to be moved or they've sold the home
Counterpoint: a Concept 2 rowing machine is just as large and bulky and holds its value on the second hand market twice as well as a Peloton. Quality products keep their value.
@@randxalthor weird way to say it drops to half. Which yes is better than the peloton, but that makes it more clear that 500 dollars is a good used buy in price.
@@randxalthor It literally costs the same. You look at other expensive indoor machines and they generally drop to the same price point. It has more to do with what are people willing to pay for a used indoor trainer and it’s also greatly affected by supply/demand and by outdoor equipment (for 600 you can gat a really good second hand bicycle).

'Doesn't have to be ADHD; such is the natural flow of conversation when one wishes to share/clarify about things. At least, that's how I feel. It also makes timestamping complicated, hue. xD
If someone reading doesn't have ADHD and doesn't understand why this is, it's due to how thought connections work in our heads. In a normal person, a thought chain -- let's call them after the alphabet -- goes from A to B to C slowly, slow enough to vocalise each step as it happens. Or at least the change from A to the vocalised part is not that far off from each other, like A to C is not that far away. Meanwhile, for adhd brains, our brains go from A to C to F to I to T within fractions of a second. It goes so quick, when you vocalise your thought with adhd, it sounds nonsensical, random or off topic. This is the reason for Linus' long winded tangents ( as well as our love of talking), and how far away from the topic they go. Tangents and thoughts can go so far away from the original topic before we realise. So it's literally not his fault for these tangents, it's a quirk of his and makes these podcasts more enjoyable usually.
@32:50 Yes linus that's called mixed zoning and what alot of advocates are screaming for to not only deal with housing costs but also open up smarter city planing options. Some places in Sydney and Brisbane are mixed zoning and it makes it a joy to shop there since it's not just all malls.
Linus, while im sure your friend at the vet did their due diligence with checking your health, your comment about watching for symptoms of rabies is troubling. Once you have symptoms for rabies, it’s too late. iirc, there was one survivor and it was a scientific miracle. Stay safe, err on the side of caution and go get the rabies shot, the upside outweighs the downside. Stay healthy my friend and thank you for what you do.
Company realise that their current businesses model is unsustainable? Yeah, it's not happening. The entire world is being run by short-term gains, chasing bigger number better- no matter how unsustainable it is
Unfortunately you aren't wrong, these past few years have shown the big companies have made obscene amounts of money. All the while they continue to shaft the consumer.
People have been making this complaint for the last six hundred years (longer in Venice and Genoa). Creative destruction is real. Capitalism is criticized for being too “short term” when supporting unprofitable companies for years??? In biotech it can go on for a decade. Facebook was not profitable for years. Neither was UA-cam. Capitalism works. Companies loathe to lose money, investors even more so. Luckily, the desire to get filthy rich motivated many to lose money for years in order to win big in the end. Yes, many lose, and many win even more. This is how countries develop. No one knows what will win. No one. Most “bad” products that people hate are simply made for someone else. I spend crazy money on old coins and fountain pens. I am amazed at people spending money on exercise equipment, but clearly people do. Similarly, I love books, but many do not. Home decoration seems pointless to me, but others spend real money on it. Sustainability is a farce as long as air tickets are cheap. If we want to get serious, a trip to Europe will cost $15,000 per ticket. Nuclear will replace coal and gasoline will cost $10 per gallon, but no one will do those obvious fixes. Another would be to slam the door on trading with China until they fix their human rights and market abuse. Along with that, massive taxes on boat-fuel so trade in products declines. Of course, this will kill many manufacturing countries like Germany, Italy, France, Japan, South Korea,…, so like everything else, it is off the table. In reality, global warming will come, and we must adapt. China is the reason we have that problem, and they are exporting it everywhere with heavy support from Middle Eastern death cult monarchies, who also pay off our politicians. Assume global warming will not stop, because it never will.
The running theme is American companies and unfortunately that culture of screwing everyone over for short term gains with no long term vision is slowly coming over to the UK culture.
We really need to go back. Trillion dollar private mega-corps operating effectively as monopolies and oligopolies at best, have no place in a healthy capitalistic/free-market environment. Nobody but them and their investors end up benefiting from such stuff. They are not even doing any major/humanity-level innovation either, just acquiring assets left and right and trying to find how they ll hit the next quarterly target. Sure we enjoy some cool products that trickle down to us, but we don't really NEED them...
Linus totally gets me -- 48:50 -- I once made the mistake of buying a silk camp shirt... accidentally threw it in the washer with the rest of my clothes on warm and then in the dryer on perm press... my nice fitting 2xl shirt came out looking like a small crop top. I will say it looked great the one time I was able to wear it.
The biggest problems with commissions is that there is little risk associated with essentially swindling a customer, but a wildly large incentive to do so.
I whole heartedly agree with linus that someone who only watched 10% of a video hasn't consumed enough information to make a meaningful comment, but by that same logic he shouldn't have an opinion on final fantasy 8. You played less than an hour out of a 80+ hour game, your opinion that it's stupid is baseless imo. Luke is rigjt, gunblades are awesome and so is ff8. It's one of my favorite games of all time, and most people who talk crap about it never played it let alone finished it. They just were confused by the junction system or were mad it wasn't ff7 2.
There's a big difference between a story and an informational video. If you hate horror, you'll know within a few minutes that the story isn't for you. Same with game mechanics. If a video is informational, it's likely that more information about the topic will be delivered further into the video. Ltt has gotten very good at the setup of the topics they present. If you look at the format it's not linear. I think that's what is going wrong lately... People expect the videos to be linearly formatted and as a result assume that the statement made at one point is the opinion held throughout. However it's now formatted as an essay with the meat of the topic recursive on the introduction and a final conclusion that could be different than the opinion going in.
And the gunblade makes sense in universe. Their Job was to train and Hunt sorcerers. And as proven, guns don't work on sorcerers. Now would have it worked if Ultimecia wasn't aware of the future? Maybe, but everyone is getting shot all the time and not dying.
The 4070 situation reminds me of games that only turn on microtransactions after all the reviews are in and all the early adopters have already been roped in. Or the fact that a lot of older games in my library suddenly have TOS with binding arbitration agreements. Bait-and-switch has become a disgusting industry standard.
Not really similar. The 4070 situation is "GDDR6X shortage, so we're gonna use it for higher tier products, but to avoid having no 4070s, we're gonna swap the memory". They should make it VERY clear the memory is downgraded though. The MTX one is straight up deception. MTX would negatively impact review score, wait until reviews before turning them on. Again, bullshit and scummy behaviour for the sake of it. There's no good reason to change TOS, or wait until after reviews are out before turning on MTX, whereas wanting to prioritize a part entering a period of scarcity for the higher revenue products IS a valid reason, but again it SHOULD FUCKING BE disclosed.
I worked at a recreation center that used a motor-controlled and weighted screen that we would use to separate our twin courts during events, because we often hosted events from the senior center nearby. Every use case you can find to utilize the lease and give people a safe space for recreation is golden.
Regarding comment filtering, imo transparency ftw: Make YTers filtering settings 'relatively visible' i.e 'some keywords are banned', 'no profanity' etc. Make that the default, but let people turn that off with a toggle.

Hello! Ferret watcher here, we all watch the Ferrets because its a rescue thats funded purely by ad revenue generated from twitch! Its a sanctuary for ferrets with all kinds of diseases and disabilities and just watching pays for everyting they do!
Airport stores, potentially, make a lot of sense: 1) You are a captive audience. You may have 1 hour or 3 days to kill. 2) Where are you going? Do you need a gift to bring? 3) Is your luggage on the same continent? Do you need to replace it, or everything in it? 4) Is there something unique about the place you're transiting through? Local food, culture, manufacturers? 5) Obviously, the "oh crap" stores -- new headphones, cables, books / magazines, water, sandwiches, etc. The problem is that airports end up costing a ton of money, and they shift that expense on to the traveler through outrageous markup of goods. Just took a business trip with a colleague and had a layover in Seattle. It cost us 80 bux for my BLT, his burger, two beers. It was a good BLT. But it wasn't THAT good.
That last part doesn’t make much sense. Did you mean that airports cost a ton of money but then essentially tax the businesses that run inside the airport, either through a standard tax or with high prices for floor space, which forced them to increase prices to offset the costs?
I really wish many subscription businesses to fail, not because I hate them or for personal reasons, but because I’m fed up with everything being subscription based even when it doesn’t make any sense. I want my walking pad and my bike to be just that I don’t need a stupid subscription to come with it. As a product and engineering leader I’ve been in countless executive meetings in the past decade and I’m well aware of the upsides for the company in offering a subscription model, but you can’t just stick a subscription on any crap and expect customers to be indefinitely fine with it. We need major failures of the model to get back to a reasonable dialogue in strategy which would just offer subscriptions where it makes sense.
The problem with subscriptions is when they create the need for it. Genuinely you could start your car seat warmers using a short radio burst from your keyfob inside your house, but they want the signal to go through their servers so they can charge a subscription for the service. I cant wait for someone to create an aftermarket module so you can send a text / remote connect directly to switch on / off a feature. *edit:* ooh, as an engineering lead, you could make a pretty penny intercepting the GSM connection in a car and enabling communications directly with it!! I'll just ask for One thousand English pounds for the idea. I'm not greedy. 😃
@@ferinzz That reminds me; I have a 2nd gen Chromecast, and can no longer control it from an iPhone, as you cant downgrade the app. I dont know when it happened, but the current Chromecast(?) remote control app no longer supports it, so when I went to dust down this old device, I had to find a many years old app version to install on an android phone, just to change the wifi network it had saved on it.
@@kanedaku Jesus. I'm honestly really worried when looking at tvs because so many are 'smart' which means you could end up with a brick like your chrome cast nearly was.
@@ferinzz My oldest smart TV is a Samsung, which doesnt have apps per se, just what it came installed with. The only partial obsolescence is with the FreeVee app not being available, but luckily the Prime function allows you to play FreeVee content through it (any modern device closes Prime and opens up FreeVee separately). I've seen the news that U.S. cars are gonna be out of date for OTA communications because they're gonna switch off their 3G(?) networks, and the cars are not physically upgradable to 4G(?). THAT, would suck. I dont know why cars need mobile connectivity anyway though. They should not be bloody computers that need software updates!! (or maybe its just silliness like remote start or something)
I've had software fail in mysterious ways because they didn't differentiate between version 1 and version 2 of a modification of the hardware over time.
worse, the GT 1030 issue was straight up system memory DDR4, not GDDR4 or the original card's GDDR5. GamersNexus has an article demonstrating the disastrous difference between the two card models that are both simply "GT 1030"
I dealt with this same thing against my friend’s laptop. We both have an i7-12700H but his rockets past mine by several thousand points in Passmark. It turns out that because his is liquid metalled, ASUS was quite happy to let it turbo to fuck and back. Acer went with thermal paste and weren’t so comfortable so mine doesn’t turbo as hard. I thought my laptop was broken until we fired up HWINFO and found out why.
Their discussion of airports around 36:00 brought back an old memory for me. I remember around 15 years ago the airport in Manchester in the UK used to have a Ducati store in it. Yes the motorbike brand Ducati. I have no idea if you could actually buy bikes from it or if it was essentially just marketing, but it always blew my mind.
Argos or Screwfix in the UK. Small shop area in the front with a catalogue. You order at the till and there is medium/large warehouse area in the back that workers get for you.
Argos shut down here a little while ago. It was pretty handy. Screwfix has a place near my uncle and he uses them quite a bit, though I'd just be ordering online from them. Was the same for RS Radionics but they go pretty expensive if lose vat-free and free next day delivery.
I can agree with that take, maybe have it so there's a timer from when the like was made? Because if we're being real, you should notice the erroneous like (considering the very visual animation that appears) and be able to instantly recant it by pressing it again.
1:19:20 UA-cam does store the timestamp of comments, it’s just not visible. On mobile you will see relevant comments to a part of the video you are watching rotate by, and the comment doesn’t need a timestamp in it. UA-cam should show timestamps of comments on the opposite side of the commenter username.
Given that UA-cam seems determined to hide as much information as possible from users, I'd have to say I'm not optimistic, but it'd be nice. But yeah you're right, they're clearly collecting this data.
A little bit of topic, but talking about the 3050 and 3050 6GB. For Google search getting worse instead of better, there is such a huge amount of improvement that could be done to search engines, doesn't matter if google or an other one
there's probably commercial incentive to not give you the best or most accurate results. like companies pay google and SEO specialists to show up on top even if they're not the most relevant search result. I prefer to use 3rd party comparison sites cuz at least you know you'll be comparing identical products (especially with stuff like monitors the model numbers can get real confusing)
Hi LTT, love the vids and the Wan show is what i listen to whilst i do some work for years now! Just have one issue atm… I’ve been watching for 1.3h and i think i had to skip like 30 adds its getting crazy here on youtube! 😅
Putting a threshold on when you can comment on a video could be a bad thing. What about those FAKE trailer videos? I'm not going to watch it all before I can call BS on what this video is. Granted, I always report them, but that NEVER seems to make a difference.
Commenting, even if it's just to call BS on those types of videos, is still engagement and would only boost its chances of being recommended more. From what I understand, the only way to negatively affect those types of videos is to stop watching as quickly as possible to kill their viewer retention metrics.
I'd argue for a combination of stronger moderation tools and an ombudsman or complaints service run by the platform to highlight and manage abuse. We need to facilitate the right kinds of behaviours from both channels/platforms and the community of consumers. You're right that some channels would abuse privileges, but that can be an argument to take those privileges away or impose penalties/sanctions, rather than saying that these tools should not be allowed at all.
I’ve followed you for a long time and I have listened to Linus talk about bad comments and I would just like to say: I love you guys. You do a great job. I don’t always agree with you but you always have great videos with interesting views. This is a super good channel and I greatly appreciate all you guys. Huge cheers and love from Gothenburg Sweden.
I completely agree with Luke on the nVidia 4070 scandal. Disclosure matters. They've changed a part (okay, a handful of the same part) that has altered the performance of the card negatively. It does not matter how little the change is, there is a change in the performance. Could you imagine a carmaker trying to pull this off by swapping out a carburetor for a slightly worse one on a vehicle model mid-year and not clearly notating which car is the original versus the updated one? There'd be lawsuits. And tiny notes in press releases don't count. The product itself has to be differentiated. As for the swapped part itself, I don't have a problem. As long as it's clearly denoted, then fine. This might even be a selling point if they dropped the price a little. Maybe call them "4070 Lite". Shit happens with parts.
Problem is that unless there is a major flaw in new variants of cars, no one other than car enthusiasts are going to care. As long as it gets them from point A to point B to point C and back, and multiple times without breaking down drastically or being broken into as much, they won’t care.
UA-cam must really think I love this video rn >.< Ive started this episode of WAN and then fallen asleep 3 times now >.< Also, this is episode 420 in the playlist!
I just got to the point in this video where finger nail color was an actual comment on a video. If the color of someone’s finger nail color affects your ability to enjoy the content. Than the content is not for you, the content is delivered extremely well and I enjoy seeing the guy in the videos as a host. I just don’t remember his name :(.
Comment policing feels like a slippery slope of general moderation of the channel. Having commenting "rights" feels bad though it might get justified in certain cases. Or in this case its not about the right to comment but the right to have your comment visible, which to me feels even worse. Not being able to speak or being able to but getting ignored, I don't know what is worse. Of course we dont have the right to decide because this is about YOUR channel on a commercial website but still, it can feel bad. I do have the feeling your motivation remains proper, I just want to voice my feelings.
My understanding is that the reason for luxury goods stores in airports is precisely because of duty free. On a multiple thousands of dollars item the saving in taxes can be very significant.
Airports have jewelry, suits, etc. i have a feeling these stores are for people that time is more valuable than money. Sure they could rebuy that forgotten or ruined business suit for $300 if they have time to rent a car, drive around, find a store, try them on, and still make it to that meeting. Or they can buy the $1000 suit at the airport.
About only allowing to comment on a video after a certain percentage watched, I mean sure the person should've watched, but you also shouldn't forget that sometimes (especially on longer videos) people comment on something in the middle of the video without having it fully watched, just so they don't forget it. Of course something regarding that topic might be mentioned later in the video, but I think the right course of action then would be to amend your own comment, because I had multiple cases already where I commented, because of my ADHD I would've definitely forgotten at the end of the video.
Athlon XP had lower clocks than number on the box but the performance compared to Intel was there. Athlon XP 2600+ with 1.92Ghz clock outperforms Pentium 4 2.8Ghz by few percent while also heaving significantly lower TDP (sounds familiar?)
new AMD card might be promising, should be an okay price. but since you’re used to NVidia and know what to expect, there are a lot of great cards out there for that money.
I'm in the same boat with a 2070s and have been eyeing off a 4070ti-s, mainly for the 16GB of VRAM. It's roughly 3x the performance of the 2070s in what I need it for, but the things that are holding me back are the looming launch of the 5000 series with the associated price drop of the 4000 series, and that the 4070 is already not keeping up with some of the latest titles.
@1:19:30 But if you think about the WAN Show and that some topics are a really small percentage of the video. To require watching 75% of the whole video while the relevant part is very small part of the actual video, would break the system. I skip over topics that don't interest me. I would not be able to make comments even though I watched / will watch the whole of discussed topic. I also edit my comment/delete it afterwards if all the relevant points are talked over in the discussion. Still to require a certain watchtime would screw me over.
as a kid who bought a voodoo2 and had to pay a restocking fee when it wasn't compatible, the first 13 minutes is weird. Linus, I don't buy the story, preinternet we were all lost, but post internet we had ATI chipsets that were BIOS locked and we flashed those up a price tag.
1:28:03 the problem is, that some things that are inappropriate in Canada, are completely normal in Poland Like most of us don’t believe you can change your g**der, same s** marriagw, painting nails or saying some words etc Im not saying I agree with those, just some perspective I understand your choice for shadow banning, but you need to know your audience can be from different country, and yes, they should think before writing something, that it can be offensive for someone in Canada etc
Same with subscription prices, floatplane is expensive for someone here since if I remember few years ago, minimum wage was like 3-4$ per hour after taxes
@@JanHurych if it's going to be implemented, i think it would be a manual action a creator can do on a comment, not an automatic system. so all you need to do is to unlike the problematic comment before a mod sees it. you should already be doing that, right?
1:21:28 I like all comments a lot but not everytime, don't read most of them just hit like to make people happy. So I think this is a really bad idea gives too much controll in the wrong ways. Probably a better way let people express them selve every if it's wrong.
Just as a comment i hope linus sees, ABSOLUTELY continue to push for the "throw it in the wash / dryer" quality of shirts, WE DO NOT LOOK AT THE CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR A REGULAR SHIRT! I loved that segment 😁
My issue with shadow banning is it's already gotten out of control it should be reserved for the truely awful things like hate speech,threat and scamming but saying something Linus doesn't agree with should get a temporary ban and a reason for the temp ban at most, I think mostly innocent people are getting swept up in this and being banned from commenting possibly heartfelt things, positively contributing to problem solving and worst of all not being able to be a part of the community any more
Do you have any evidence that people are being shadow banned for benign comments or just disagreeing with Linus? I don't believe that is what's happening
I think saying "something Linus doesn't agree with" is a hyperbole but UA-cam bans are very problematic. Afaik there is only permanent ban, there's not way to give a warning first, and the user doesn't know they have been banned.
Loved the chat about FF6 - my favorite, too. Would be interested to hear how he continues to enjoy it. I think he will,have to use a guide in the second half as it’s easy to miss so much cool backstory of characters. There’s a lot of secrets in that game. Also, for the love of FF remind him to WAIT when asked!
Anyone else remember when gaming companies did the same thing Peleton is doing now? You had to have an activation code to pay online so used buyers would have to pay $10 to get a new code.
Seriously, anyone who thinks that they can expect non-clothing enthusiasts to actually care and follow garment care instructions need to pull their heads out of their asses. Working in IT it should be painfully obvious that normal people that aren't into whatever niche you live and breathe, don't care. They just want good quality products that work. It would be so conceded to expect anyone know what or even if they need a GPU for their workflow, and if they do which one. It's our job to provide computers or suggestions on what they should buy where they won't have to care about every CPU and GPU on the market. If you can't actually expect everyone to take their car in to get an oil change every 3-5 thousand miles, you actually can't expect anyone to do more than the bare minimum of care and need to plan around that.
Except "bare minimum" for clothes IS reading the label. It's more like buying a car and complaining the engine can't handle the motorway in 1st gear; everything has some operation/care instructions that you need to follow if you want things to actually last. Now if you don't care about the longevity because you'll just buy a new t-shirt or whatever, that's fair, but it takes 2 seconds to read a label and go "oh okay, that one goes in the 30s pile", or to learn that basically anything other than 60s can safely be dried on high. It's ~1 minute of time investment ONCE, and then you know the symbols and can make your clothes last for decades.
It's genuinely XKCD #2501. I'm NOT going to read the label for every garment every time I do laundry, and do 27 different processes. I'm just not. It's going in the washer and dryer on "normal" or "regular", or "whites" or "delicates" if necessary. That's the most I'm doing. It's either going to hold up well and I'll buy more, or it won't and I won't buy more.
@1:19:30, that is an awesome idea. That should also be the case with commenting news articles that you've only seen the heading for... And sharing them.
Being a practicing architect - I really think hiring an architect for all the Renos you've done (house/badminton center) would have lead to a way smoother experience than Linus had in the past. Maybe something to consider for future projects.

For low-volumed Linus-muted portions, rather than raise the volume, I suggest turning on the automated captions; they're at least great at catching low-volumed statements w/o exploding your ears the next line.

How many incoherent chapters this week?

Would it be possible for a bad actor to make a good comment to get likes then edit it to something bad to trick the creator into banning everyone who liked the good comment?
Yes 100%. It's also a pretty dumb idea.
Could be solved by the creator being able to see a timeline showing when likes and edits happened on a comment, preferably including what the comment read before any edits.
Also nowadays if the creator give you a "love", but you edit your comment later you lose the "love", probably to avoid this types of troll. If youtube remove all likes from edit comments problem solved.
Also, accidental likes happen, and sometimes I’m just too lazy to remove it again.
@@Mecawavethere are a lot of other problems:
1) someone can accidentally like a comment
2) someone can accidentally type a slur or their phone might auto-correct into something offensive . I saw someone on a discord channel that misspelled "kek" as "k-i-k-e" which apparently is an antisemitic slur and got banned by the automod.
3) someone can like a comment without fully understanding its meaning. Especially for non native English speakers.
4) something that is offensive for an American might not be for someone on the other side of the globe.
And the problem is that with big channels nobody is gonna bother to manually review bans to check for those niche situations.

My girlfriend cringes every time I throw all of my clothes into the washer together. She's the sort that has a load for whites, colors, and darks and will often have other special purpose loads along the way. I own three articles of clothing that I cannot wash my way, and all of them were presents from her. It drives me nuts every time I wear one of those items of clothing (usually at her request) that I have to go through so many extra steps just not ruin these pieces of clothing. I applaud you for understanding the mentality of your audience and not "giving in" to the experts on your team that do not fully understand the customer.
lol 100% the same. I just grab my pile toss it in the washer on cold and wash/dry.
I’m the opposite with doing my laundry, but I agree with you that everyday basics (like merch shirts) should be very easy to wash and dry. I choose to put in the time and care so that I can get *more* life out of my clothes, but it shouldn’t be mandatory for getting a reasonable lifespan out of them.
Certain things, like bras or suit jackets, will probably always require special care. But making everyday basics easy to maintain can help reduce the ridiculous amount of waste that the clothing industry generates.
Clothes for people with fashion interest are much more care-intensive, and that's why the majority of my clothes are commodity materials. If it can't go in the washer, then the drier, I'm not going to buy it or wear it. With very few exceptions (special occasion wear.)
Same with stuff in the kitchen. If it doesn't go in the dishwasher, it doesn't go in our kitchen. I can count on one hand the number of items that don't fit that description, and most if not all of them were given to us. We sure didn't buy them.
I adopted a cat with FIV (he's my only cat, so I don't have to worry about him transmitting it). Cats with FIV are more likely to get sick, so they cost more in vet bills, but, with proper care, their lifespan is basically the same as a cat that doesn't have FIV.
I never understand people that buy $3000 shoes. I get having a pair or two of fancy shoes to wear to a wedding or something, but if you can't walk on the ground in your daily use shoes. What the hell are you even doing?
probably just a rich people thing, like if you're willing to spend a certain percentage of your income on clothing getting rich means you get to spend a lot more. like I probably wouldn't be buying shoes but if I was rich I'd probably be buying a lot of dumb overpriced shit as well (like electronics or cars or something)
Meh. I have a friend who usually has a couple grand in trainers at any one point. She wears them though as accessories, not just kept as a pristine collection. But 3K on one pair of shoes is excessive, unless they have a few pairs (meaning they have lots of disposable income).
I have a "nice" pair of what I call Funeral Boots which are just black Sketchers or Lugz work boots that I wear for funerals & weddings but other than that I just use my regular sneakers (sketchers or converse 70s), my cheap Walmart cowboy boots or my work boots ($60 Chinese made tactical style boots) for everyday wear. I do have a $100 pair of Reeboks I just bought the other month as golf/tennis only shoes but those are basically like the funeral boots in that I'll wear them a handful of times a year and they'll last me a decade haha

I loved the zoning in Japan. 2-3 streets from my apartment was a fresh foods grocer in the middle of a residential area. Full size grocery was a 10-minute walk away, by the train station.
Plenty of neighborhoods can't even be called "residential" because it's apartments above & retail on ground (or even lowest several floors).
You should visit Europe, it's more of the same except no convenience stores. I don't know of a place in my country that isn't walking distance from a grocery store.
@@Suzumi-kun The more rural areas aren't walking distance from stores. But you're point stands, European cities being mostly built before the car have excellent walkability.
@@Suzumi-kun I've only been to France in Europe. But yeah. It seems that's how it is in most of the post-industrial world. AUS & NZ less so, but still not like the US (and I assume CAN).
Since Japan is very mountainous, even the rural areas are basically crammed together. But, there are certainly exceptions. The longest I ever had to walk due to no public transit was 3 km. It was a rural factory town.
@@Suzumi-kun Not everywhere. There are local convenience stores where I live. They are small some are open 24/7 too. Very convenient exactly as the name suggests.
@@modarkthemauler In this case rural would have to mean actually away from other people. Even small villages tend to have at least a tiny convenience store, especially if they’re not a walking distance from supermarkets. Not only do they get traffic from locals, they also attract cyclotourists.
>Subscription based exercise equipment.
I'm sorry, what?
Is this real life or am I in the middle of an hallucinatory fever dream based in a Paul Verhoeven film?
Nordic Track is terrible for it. You can use the bike with very basic functions without a sub. If you get the sub, you get full function, but you still are limited to doing their crap on the display. You can't stick on a movie or play UA-cam etc. it was hackable, but they've been working hard to block it.
The value of peloton is not the equipment (which is still very good), it’s the content which is both archived going back years and years and constantly produced with live instructors in a classroom going on planned exercises set to music and specific difficulties.
It’s an ecosystem which simply isn’t matched and is worth the price tag.
@@mmonkeyman1403 Never used it myself, but yes -- their differentiator is that it's both a product and a workout buddy / personal trainer. The latter is labor and/or intellectual property .. hence the subscription.
It's a whole other matter when manufacturers lock on-device functionality behind a pay-as-you-go system. That's just poor buyer judgment.
Why not just get a gym membership? Isn't that the same thing?
@@garthor heck no. This is a basically unlimited amount of guided content for all skill levels that you can access with or without the piece of equipment that they sell to specifically integrate with the bike or the treadmill or whatever. They have spinning, running/walking, and other guided workouts. It’s a whole ecosystem
Prediction ... The secondhand price for Peloton bikes will drop about $100. This is simply going to screw existing owners. Well done, Peloton 👍
Or a challenger will appear to take that market segment.
Why would they care?
@@hjf3022 Exactly. That customer has already paid full retail for the bike and stopped their monthly subscription.
@@Burnthehivebut a move like this will destroy the overall trust in Peloton. Up until now you could basically take the "if I'm not interested anymore, I'll just sell it again with limited losses" route when deciding what to buy. Now after introducing a fee no one can say if they will increase the fee (maybe even dramatically) in the future and that makes the "I'll just sell it again" thing more or less obsolete

THE PHONE CALL WITH LUKES MOM LMFAOOOOOO
When a manufacturer has multiple variants that perform poorly without clearly marking the difference, the standard for reviewers/benchmarkers should be to only list the lowest performing version since that's the guaranteed level of performance a customer gets when buying a card.
If everyone standardized on this, it would force manufacturers to clearly lable downgraded versions.
Yes, but consider that the old reviews (where the reviewers couldn't foresee that this would happen) will still show up in search results, so customers who don't look EXTREMELY closely won't even know that a revision has happened.
@@magfal it always annoyed me with Samsung phones, in Europe we got the ones with the worse exynos chips but most of the reviews are from the US with the snapdragon versions. Not their fault of course
Yeah, as nice as that'd be, SEO is going to favor whatever version came out first.
@@kadirbeneathmomoteh854As a proud owner of a second hand imported Snapdragon Samsung phone I feel like I won life... Or something
It's done on purpose. Like this is easy mode. Look at the laptop market and their components, which can have wildly different performance based on X amount of model-specific factors compared to their desktop variants. If this gives a headache to experienced pc enthusiasts, you can be sure the majority of the consumers d be 100% at the mercy of equally clueless sellers and their corporate overlords...
It should be illegal to launch multiple differently performing products under the same model name.
Changing the memory for lower speed/bandwith /higher latency memory is one of those things.
Wasn't Linus collecting multiple revisions of the same model ssd from ?A-Data that kept getting slower internals? I remember he reached out on WAN for people with particular revisions, but can't remember seeing a video after.
@@benwu7980 realistically you can't make millions and millions of a product that all have the exact same performance though. like they have to source parts from different manufacturers and some of them might perform slightly better or worse.
as long as it's all "within spec" it's not really an issue though. like sourcing could be the reason for this change in memory Nvidia did as well. and Linus mentioned it's like 2% difference or something? like in real world scenarios it might just fall within the variance that 4070's already have....
It probably already is, it's just that consumer protection agencies are a joke when it comes to near-monopolies
@@zwenkwiel816 Oh Adata went much further than only 'slight' changes. They changed the flash from originally Micron to Samsung to SK Hynix. They also kept changing the controller.
Each of those revisions made a difference, always for the worse. There was a few other revisions too
They kept the same model name, but the original or second revision performed around 15% faster than the fourth or fifth.
@benwu7980 yeah 15% doesn't seem within spec. I still wonder about these 4070's though. Like if its just a few % on memory I dno how much real world performance difference there is. Like no doubt in synthetic benchmarks you'd see it but in games memory is only really an issue if it's not enough/ too slow. If this slower memory is enough to keep up you might not see any difference at all.
Like still a scummy move to not add a revision to the model name but I don't think performance will be as disastrous as some people seem to think.
I think Linus forgets about a major factor for peloton's resale price being so low. Any large object that takes up significant space in a room will always have decreased resale value as when they are not being used. They are an active burden to keep and actually cost money to throw away. Taking something like a peloton to a junkyard costs money, so the prices are always lower to incentivize someone coming and retrieving it. Since you are generally attempting to reclaim the space once you've admitted, you're not actually taking up home exercise.
I'm a musician and you see the same thing with pianos all the time, literally to the point that they're free because they require work and have to be moved or they've sold the home
Counterpoint: a Concept 2 rowing machine is just as large and bulky and holds its value on the second hand market twice as well as a Peloton.
Quality products keep their value.
do you mean cost as in time spent to bring them to the local waste/recycling center or actual cost?
@@Dommifax depends on your country, could be both.
@@randxalthor weird way to say it drops to half. Which yes is better than the peloton, but that makes it more clear that 500 dollars is a good used buy in price.
@@randxalthor It literally costs the same. You look at other expensive indoor machines and they generally drop to the same price point. It has more to do with what are people willing to pay for a used indoor trainer and it’s also greatly affected by supply/demand and by outdoor equipment (for 600 you can gat a really good second hand bicycle).

welcome to the world of ADHD
'Doesn't have to be ADHD; such is the natural flow of conversation when one wishes to share/clarify about things. At least, that's how I feel.
It also makes timestamping complicated, hue. xD
@@LloydDunamis In this case it is though. Linus does actually have ADHD, he's said so himself on a number of occassions
If someone reading doesn't have ADHD and doesn't understand why this is, it's due to how thought connections work in our heads. In a normal person, a thought chain -- let's call them after the alphabet -- goes from A to B to C slowly, slow enough to vocalise each step as it happens. Or at least the change from A to the vocalised part is not that far off from each other, like A to C is not that far away.
Meanwhile, for adhd brains, our brains go from A to C to F to I to T within fractions of a second. It goes so quick, when you vocalise your thought with adhd, it sounds nonsensical, random or off topic. This is the reason for Linus' long winded tangents ( as well as our love of talking), and how far away from the topic they go. Tangents and thoughts can go so far away from the original topic before we realise.
So it's literally not his fault for these tangents, it's a quirk of his and makes these podcasts more enjoyable usually.
@SeanSMST I just realised I might have ADHD after I read your description of how we move from thought to thought.
@32:50 Yes linus that's called mixed zoning and what alot of advocates are screaming for to not only deal with housing costs but also open up smarter city planing options. Some places in Sydney and Brisbane are mixed zoning and it makes it a joy to shop there since it's not just all malls.

Linus, while im sure your friend at the vet did their due diligence with checking your health, your comment about watching for symptoms of rabies is troubling. Once you have symptoms for rabies, it’s too late. iirc, there was one survivor and it was a scientific miracle. Stay safe, err on the side of caution and go get the rabies shot, the upside outweighs the downside. Stay healthy my friend and thank you for what you do.
Company realise that their current businesses model is unsustainable? Yeah, it's not happening. The entire world is being run by short-term gains, chasing bigger number better- no matter how unsustainable it is
Unfortunately you aren't wrong, these past few years have shown the big companies have made obscene amounts of money. All the while they continue to shaft the consumer.
Certainly when many markets are served by just two or three companies
People have been making this complaint for the last six hundred years (longer in Venice and Genoa).
Creative destruction is real. Capitalism is criticized for being too “short term” when supporting unprofitable companies for years??? In biotech it can go on for a decade. Facebook was not profitable for years. Neither was UA-cam.
Capitalism works. Companies loathe to lose money, investors even more so. Luckily, the desire to get filthy rich motivated many to lose money for years in order to win big in the end.
Yes, many lose, and many win even more. This is how countries develop. No one knows what will win. No one.
Most “bad” products that people hate are simply made for someone else. I spend crazy money on old coins and fountain pens. I am amazed at people spending money on exercise equipment, but clearly people do.
Similarly, I love books, but many do not. Home decoration seems pointless to me, but others spend real money on it.
Sustainability is a farce as long as air tickets are cheap. If we want to get serious, a trip to Europe will cost $15,000 per ticket. Nuclear will replace coal and gasoline will cost $10 per gallon, but no one will do those obvious fixes. Another would be to slam the door on trading with China until they fix their human rights and market abuse. Along with that, massive taxes on boat-fuel so trade in products declines. Of course, this will kill many manufacturing countries like Germany, Italy, France, Japan, South Korea,…, so like everything else, it is off the table.
In reality, global warming will come, and we must adapt. China is the reason we have that problem, and they are exporting it everywhere with heavy support from Middle Eastern death cult monarchies, who also pay off our politicians. Assume global warming will not stop, because it never will.
The running theme is American companies and unfortunately that culture of screwing everyone over for short term gains with no long term vision is slowly coming over to the UK culture.
We really need to go back. Trillion dollar private mega-corps operating effectively as monopolies and oligopolies at best, have no place in a healthy capitalistic/free-market environment. Nobody but them and their investors end up benefiting from such stuff. They are not even doing any major/humanity-level innovation either, just acquiring assets left and right and trying to find how they ll hit the next quarterly target. Sure we enjoy some cool products that trickle down to us, but we don't really NEED them...

I whole heartedly agree with linus that someone who only watched 10% of a video hasn't consumed enough information to make a meaningful comment, but by that same logic he shouldn't have an opinion on final fantasy 8. You played less than an hour out of a 80+ hour game, your opinion that it's stupid is baseless imo. Luke is rigjt, gunblades are awesome and so is ff8. It's one of my favorite games of all time, and most people who talk crap about it never played it let alone finished it. They just were confused by the junction system or were mad it wasn't ff7 2.
I shoulda used this argument
There's a big difference between a story and an informational video.
If you hate horror, you'll know within a few minutes that the story isn't for you. Same with game mechanics.
If a video is informational, it's likely that more information about the topic will be delivered further into the video.
Ltt has gotten very good at the setup of the topics they present. If you look at the format it's not linear. I think that's what is going wrong lately... People expect the videos to be linearly formatted and as a result assume that the statement made at one point is the opinion held throughout. However it's now formatted as an essay with the meat of the topic recursive on the introduction and a final conclusion that could be different than the opinion going in.
And the gunblade makes sense in universe. Their Job was to train and Hunt sorcerers. And as proven, guns don't work on sorcerers. Now would have it worked if Ultimecia wasn't aware of the future? Maybe, but everyone is getting shot all the time and not dying.
The 4070 situation reminds me of games that only turn on microtransactions after all the reviews are in and all the early adopters have already been roped in. Or the fact that a lot of older games in my library suddenly have TOS with binding arbitration agreements. Bait-and-switch has become a disgusting industry standard.
Not really similar. The 4070 situation is "GDDR6X shortage, so we're gonna use it for higher tier products, but to avoid having no 4070s, we're gonna swap the memory". They should make it VERY clear the memory is downgraded though.
The MTX one is straight up deception. MTX would negatively impact review score, wait until reviews before turning them on.
Again, bullshit and scummy behaviour for the sake of it. There's no good reason to change TOS, or wait until after reviews are out before turning on MTX, whereas wanting to prioritize a part entering a period of scarcity for the higher revenue products IS a valid reason, but again it SHOULD FUCKING BE disclosed.

The return of the 4 hour WAN!!!
Almost.
Airport stores, potentially, make a lot of sense:
1) You are a captive audience. You may have 1 hour or 3 days to kill.
2) Where are you going? Do you need a gift to bring?
3) Is your luggage on the same continent? Do you need to replace it, or everything in it?
4) Is there something unique about the place you're transiting through? Local food, culture, manufacturers?
5) Obviously, the "oh crap" stores -- new headphones, cables, books / magazines, water, sandwiches, etc.
The problem is that airports end up costing a ton of money, and they shift that expense on to the traveler through outrageous markup of goods. Just took a business trip with a colleague and had a layover in Seattle. It cost us 80 bux for my BLT, his burger, two beers. It was a good BLT. But it wasn't THAT good.
That last part doesn’t make much sense. Did you mean that airports cost a ton of money but then essentially tax the businesses that run inside the airport, either through a standard tax or with high prices for floor space, which forced them to increase prices to offset the costs?
@@fujinshu As I understand it, yes -- exactly that. I could be wrong though. This is not at all my area of expertise.
I really wish many subscription businesses to fail, not because I hate them or for personal reasons, but because I’m fed up with everything being subscription based even when it doesn’t make any sense. I want my walking pad and my bike to be just that I don’t need a stupid subscription to come with it.
As a product and engineering leader I’ve been in countless executive meetings in the past decade and I’m well aware of the upsides for the company in offering a subscription model, but you can’t just stick a subscription on any crap and expect customers to be indefinitely fine with it. We need major failures of the model to get back to a reasonable dialogue in strategy which would just offer subscriptions where it makes sense.
The problem with subscriptions is when they create the need for it. Genuinely you could start your car seat warmers using a short radio burst from your keyfob inside your house, but they want the signal to go through their servers so they can charge a subscription for the service.
I cant wait for someone to create an aftermarket module so you can send a text / remote connect directly to switch on / off a feature.

GT 710 with 1GB, 2GB, GK208B, GF119S, GK208B
issue on this one is people getting a 4070 are expecting a good card
At last 4hour wan show again!!! THX linus and luke i have been waiting this for so long!
I dealt with this same thing against my friend’s laptop. We both have an i7-12700H but his rockets past mine by several thousand points in Passmark. It turns out that because his is liquid metalled, ASUS was quite happy to let it turbo to fuck and back. Acer went with thermal paste and weren’t so comfortable so mine doesn’t turbo as hard.
I thought my laptop was broken until we fired up HWINFO and found out why.
Their discussion of airports around 36:00 brought back an old memory for me. I remember around 15 years ago the airport in Manchester in the UK used to have a Ducati store in it. Yes the motorbike brand Ducati. I have no idea if you could actually buy bikes from it or if it was essentially just marketing, but it always blew my mind.
what.
Argos or Screwfix in the UK. Small shop area in the front with a catalogue. You order at the till and there is medium/large warehouse area in the back that workers get for you.
Argos shut down here a little while ago. It was pretty handy.
Screwfix has a place near my uncle and he uses them quite a bit, though I'd just be ordering online from them. Was the same for RS Radionics but they go pretty expensive if lose vat-free and free next day delivery.
Having dennis handling sponsor reads was a wise choice
So, you do realize it's very possible to accidentally hit the comment like button on small phone screens?
Easier on a big one tbh, always dropping it
I only ever had that happen with shorts
Never normal videos
I can agree with that take, maybe have it so there's a timer from when the like was made?
Because if we're being real, you should notice the erroneous like (considering the very visual animation that appears) and be able to instantly recant it by pressing it again.
@_Makanko_ The icon is pretty small on my phone screen and if you press it while scrolling. . .
1:19:20 UA-cam does store the timestamp of comments, it’s just not visible. On mobile you will see relevant comments to a part of the video you are watching rotate by, and the comment doesn’t need a timestamp in it. UA-cam should show timestamps of comments on the opposite side of the commenter username.
Given that UA-cam seems determined to hide as much information as possible from users, I'd have to say I'm not optimistic, but it'd be nice. But yeah you're right, they're clearly collecting this data.
2:33:53 thank you Linus for being a reasonable Canadian
A little bit of topic, but talking about the 3050 and 3050 6GB. For Google search getting worse instead of better, there is such a huge amount of improvement that could be done to search engines, doesn't matter if google or an other one
there's probably commercial incentive to not give you the best or most accurate results. like companies pay google and SEO specialists to show up on top even if they're not the most relevant search result.
I prefer to use 3rd party comparison sites cuz at least you know you'll be comparing identical products (especially with stuff like monitors the model numbers can get real confusing)
Hi LTT, love the vids and the Wan show is what i listen to whilst i do some work for years now!
Just have one issue atm… I’ve been watching for 1.3h and i think i had to skip like 30 adds its getting crazy here on youtube! 😅
Putting a threshold on when you can comment on a video could be a bad thing. What about those FAKE trailer videos? I'm not going to watch it all before I can call BS on what this video is. Granted, I always report them, but that NEVER seems to make a difference.
Yeah exactly, it would only work for "good" videos, and thats not the only kind.
Commenting, even if it's just to call BS on those types of videos, is still engagement and would only boost its chances of being recommended more. From what I understand, the only way to negatively affect those types of videos is to stop watching as quickly as possible to kill their viewer retention metrics.
@BenMagargee exactly. Pause the video, report it, And move on. People need to stop interacting with the things they hate
I'd argue for a combination of stronger moderation tools and an ombudsman or complaints service run by the platform to highlight and manage abuse. We need to facilitate the right kinds of behaviours from both channels/platforms and the community of consumers. You're right that some channels would abuse privileges, but that can be an argument to take those privileges away or impose penalties/sanctions, rather than saying that these tools should not be allowed at all.
I’ve followed you for a long time and I have listened to Linus talk about bad comments and I would just like to say:
I love you guys. You do a great job.
I don’t always agree with you but you always have great videos with interesting views.
This is a super good channel and I greatly appreciate all you guys.
Huge cheers and love from Gothenburg Sweden.
I completely agree with Luke on the nVidia 4070 scandal. Disclosure matters. They've changed a part (okay, a handful of the same part) that has altered the performance of the card negatively. It does not matter how little the change is, there is a change in the performance. Could you imagine a carmaker trying to pull this off by swapping out a carburetor for a slightly worse one on a vehicle model mid-year and not clearly notating which car is the original versus the updated one? There'd be lawsuits. And tiny notes in press releases don't count. The product itself has to be differentiated.
As for the swapped part itself, I don't have a problem. As long as it's clearly denoted, then fine. This might even be a selling point if they dropped the price a little. Maybe call them "4070 Lite". Shit happens with parts.
Problem is that unless there is a major flaw in new variants of cars, no one other than car enthusiasts are going to care. As long as it gets them from point A to point B to point C and back, and multiple times without breaking down drastically or being broken into as much, they won’t care.
UA-cam must really think I love this video rn >.< Ive started this episode of WAN and then fallen asleep 3 times now >.<
Also, this is episode 420 in the playlist!
I just got to the point in this video where finger nail color was an actual comment on a video. If the color of someone’s finger nail color affects your ability to enjoy the content. Than the content is not for you, the content is delivered extremely well and I enjoy seeing the guy in the videos as a host. I just don’t remember his name :(.
Hey, LTT, i'm one of those re-watchers and my biggest painpoint is the missing chapters, would really appreciate you adding them!
Man that thumbnail got me hyped that there was a new Shield model, now I'm just _really_ sad :/
Comment policing feels like a slippery slope of general moderation of the channel.
Having commenting "rights" feels bad though it might get justified in certain cases. Or in this case its not about the right to comment but the right to have your comment visible, which to me feels even worse. Not being able to speak or being able to but getting ignored, I don't know what is worse.
Of course we dont have the right to decide because this is about YOUR channel on a commercial website but still, it can feel bad. I do have the feeling your motivation remains proper, I just want to voice my feelings.
My understanding is that the reason for luxury goods stores in airports is precisely because of duty free. On a multiple thousands of dollars item the saving in taxes can be very significant.
Airports have jewelry, suits, etc. i have a feeling these stores are for people that time is more valuable than money. Sure they could rebuy that forgotten or ruined business suit for $300 if they have time to rent a car, drive around, find a store, try them on, and still make it to that meeting. Or they can buy the $1000 suit at the airport.
About only allowing to comment on a video after a certain percentage watched, I mean sure the person should've watched, but you also shouldn't forget that sometimes (especially on longer videos) people comment on something in the middle of the video without having it fully watched, just so they don't forget it. Of course something regarding that topic might be mentioned later in the video, but I think the right course of action then would be to amend your own comment, because I had multiple cases already where I commented, because of my ADHD I would've definitely forgotten at the end of the video.
Athlon XP had lower clocks than number on the box but the performance compared to Intel was there. Athlon XP 2600+ with 1.92Ghz clock outperforms Pentium 4 2.8Ghz by few percent while also heaving significantly lower TDP (sounds familiar?)
love the WAN show been watching for years its the only thing i trust for weekly tech news
As someone with a 2060S who is ready to upgrade but wants to spend under 1k... i have no idea what to buy
new AMD card might be promising, should be an okay price. but since you’re used to NVidia and know what to expect, there are a lot of great cards out there for that money.
I'm in the same boat with a 2070s and have been eyeing off a 4070ti-s, mainly for the 16GB of VRAM. It's roughly 3x the performance of the 2070s in what I need it for, but the things that are holding me back are the looming launch of the 5000 series with the associated price drop of the 4000 series, and that the 4070 is already not keeping up with some of the latest titles.
I need more episodes where Luke and Dan are unhinged. Numerous times I couldn't stop smiling/laughing
@1:19:30 But if you think about the WAN Show and that some topics are a really small percentage of the video. To require watching 75% of the whole video while the relevant part is very small part of the actual video, would break the system.
I skip over topics that don't interest me. I would not be able to make comments even though I watched / will watch the whole of discussed topic.
I also edit my comment/delete it afterwards if all the relevant points are talked over in the discussion. Still to require a certain watchtime would screw me over.
WOOOH FINALLY ANOTHER 4 HOUR WAN SHOW
2:17:25 Linus should not be allowed anywhere near anyone's parents.. ever. 🤣
38:53 exactly my thoughts on the cybretruck.
Channel super fun would be the perfect place for some The Office style BTS
Am I the only one that hears Moose End whenever Linus says the sponsor MooSend
@@TheDarthChungus i thought that's what it was
as a kid who bought a voodoo2 and had to pay a restocking fee when it wasn't compatible, the first 13 minutes is weird. Linus, I don't buy the story, preinternet we were all lost, but post internet we had ATI chipsets that were BIOS locked and we flashed those up a price tag.
Linus on commenting after a certain percentage of watch time would be such a positive addition.
WAN show is healing!! finally long vods are back🛐
1:28:03 the problem is, that some things that are inappropriate in Canada, are completely normal in Poland
Like most of us don’t believe you can change your g**der, same s** marriagw, painting nails or saying some words etc
Im not saying I agree with those, just some perspective
I understand your choice for shadow banning, but you need to know your audience can be from different country, and yes, they should think before writing something, that it can be offensive for someone in Canada etc
Same with subscription prices, floatplane is expensive for someone here since if I remember few years ago, minimum wage was like 3-4$ per hour after taxes
Linus.... the amount of accidental upvotes I have given is large. Especially with touch screens. Shadowbanning for that seems rather harsh.
What? Did they say that they'll ban people who upvotes the comments?
@@LogicalError007 Yea. For upvoting like... evil shit, hate and such.
@@JanHurych I didn't even knew that they can see people who upvote comments.
@@LogicalError007 no, creators can't see who liked a comment
1:22:02
@@JanHurych if it's going to be implemented, i think it would be a manual action a creator can do on a comment, not an automatic system. so all you need to do is to unlike the problematic comment before a mod sees it. you should already be doing that, right?
Really appreciate y'all taking time to go through and examine AI generated stuff to help us get an eye for it
1:21:28 I like all comments a lot but not everytime, don't read most of them just hit like to make people happy. So I think this is a really bad idea gives too much controll in the wrong ways. Probably a better way let people express them selve every if it's wrong.
Just as a comment i hope linus sees, ABSOLUTELY continue to push for the "throw it in the wash / dryer" quality of shirts, WE DO NOT LOOK AT THE CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR A REGULAR SHIRT! I loved that segment 😁
My issue with shadow banning is it's already gotten out of control it should be reserved for the truely awful things like hate speech,threat and scamming but saying something Linus doesn't agree with should get a temporary ban and a reason for the temp ban at most, I think mostly innocent people are getting swept up in this and being banned from commenting possibly heartfelt things, positively contributing to problem solving and worst of all not being able to be a part of the community any more
Do you have any evidence that people are being shadow banned for benign comments or just disagreeing with Linus? I don't believe that is what's happening
They literally said in the discussion that they don't shadowban other opinions.
So in other words, you completely agree with the way he's proposing for it to work, with disagreeing not being a ban reason at all
I think saying "something Linus doesn't agree with" is a hyperbole but UA-cam bans are very problematic. Afaik there is only permanent ban, there's not way to give a warning first, and the user doesn't know they have been banned.
@@Henrix1998 Linus has admitted to shadow banning for as little as having weird takes on videos, that's what I meant by not agree with.
Loved the chat about FF6 - my favorite, too. Would be interested to hear how he continues to enjoy it.
I think he will,have to use a guide in the second half as it’s easy to miss so much cool backstory of characters. There’s a lot of secrets in that game. Also, for the love of FF remind him to WAIT when asked!
Hi, question: Why did you shadow ban Gamers Nexus?
"I shouldn't have wished to live in more interesting times..." keeps getting increasingly true!
Guys please sales rep are merely the flesh avatar of the marketing team
Anyone else remember when gaming companies did the same thing Peleton is doing now? You had to have an activation code to pay online so used buyers would have to pay $10 to get a new code.
Well now I feel old, at 14 I was programming software on my C64. Lan didn't even exist.
I remember learning to program with Amos on the Amiga 500!
Linus is king of shadow-muting himself this episode lol 2:01:41
Seriously, anyone who thinks that they can expect non-clothing enthusiasts to actually care and follow garment care instructions need to pull their heads out of their asses. Working in IT it should be painfully obvious that normal people that aren't into whatever niche you live and breathe, don't care. They just want good quality products that work. It would be so conceded to expect anyone know what or even if they need a GPU for their workflow, and if they do which one. It's our job to provide computers or suggestions on what they should buy where they won't have to care about every CPU and GPU on the market. If you can't actually expect everyone to take their car in to get an oil change every 3-5 thousand miles, you actually can't expect anyone to do more than the bare minimum of care and need to plan around that.
Except "bare minimum" for clothes IS reading the label. It's more like buying a car and complaining the engine can't handle the motorway in 1st gear; everything has some operation/care instructions that you need to follow if you want things to actually last. Now if you don't care about the longevity because you'll just buy a new t-shirt or whatever, that's fair, but it takes 2 seconds to read a label and go "oh okay, that one goes in the 30s pile", or to learn that basically anything other than 60s can safely be dried on high. It's ~1 minute of time investment ONCE, and then you know the symbols and can make your clothes last for decades.
It's genuinely XKCD #2501. I'm NOT going to read the label for every garment every time I do laundry, and do 27 different processes. I'm just not. It's going in the washer and dryer on "normal" or "regular", or "whites" or "delicates" if necessary. That's the most I'm doing. It's either going to hold up well and I'll buy more, or it won't and I won't buy more.
@1:19:30, that is an awesome idea. That should also be the case with commenting news articles that you've only seen the heading for... And sharing them.
Linus missed the point of stock android criticism
What was his point? It seemed like he used a developer build of android to show that there is no usable "stock" android any more.
Being a practicing architect - I really think hiring an architect for all the Renos you've done (house/badminton center) would have lead to a way smoother experience than Linus had in the past. Maybe something to consider for future projects.
Nvidia situation is actually illegal in EU they would risk insane fine, so it's most likely for US and Asian markets.
EU had the different Nvidia models in the past, no difference from this example (the 4070 is not even as bad as the past examples).
I went to a LAN party every friday for a year 2003-2004.
Memories I'll keep forever.
What happened to timestamp guy?
@@XXS1337 he got shadow banned 🤣
