I'm curious to know what your process is like to be so efficient. Do you listen and back track a bunch to know where the topic started? Do you make a best guess of when a new topic starts and then write down the topic name when you know what they're talking about?
On the off chance any LMG staff reads this: Regarding the CT scanner, I'm a US-based radiation therapy medical physicist. We're the ones responsible for maintenance, image quality and safety of medical CT simulator scanners, linear accelerators, compute clusters for image reconstruction and radiation dose calculation and physics simulations using the CT images, etc., for use in radiation therapy. If you need any advice/help with it, I'd love to be of help!
To the Roku TOS changes issue: The law should be that the same methods to Consent/Accept something need to be used to Deny as well... with a similar number of clicks and entry process. If the method to consent is a single button on the screen then the method to Deny should ALSO be a single button on the screen. Forcing people to mail in a Denial of Consent is ludicrous.
I'm so happy to hear you speak about proper parenting skills. I have essentially stopped seeing one of my best friends, due to my inability to witness his painfully poor parenting methods. It really is a crime against humanity to raise little demons for the rest of us to deal with.
You can influence or very slightly improve the situation by not removing yourself from their existence XD Just be diplomatic about it, I'm betting most either don't realise or need a nudge in the right direction.
@@dallysinghson5569 Thanks for the reply. Of course we're still in touch, and good friends, I just had to uninvite myself from the weekly get-togethers at their house. I tried diplomatic nudging, to no avail. They subscribed to the "let the kids do whatever", or "give in if they cry too much" mentality, which I found insufferable.
@@thirstyCactusNot to mention those types don’t realise they can influence others children and I wouldn’t want my toddlers around children who get away with what they like. My children don’t need to see others getting away with it and think it’s ok.
This is really hard to watch, and I can attest that some people just don't listen to your advice. My friends kids are ipad baby's and developing speech impairments from what I believe to be the lack of attention. One is five now and should have put into school two years ago but isn't.
I've always been really impressed when he talks about parenting. Love him or hate him, you can tell he genuinely cares about not screwing his kids up and that's really half the battle. Everyone's gonna make mistakes, but if you just give up and throw a phone at them then you never should've had them in the first place.
I worked on an audit of a large oil company. I was part of a team of a dozen lawyers working 100 hours a week for 2 months doing document review. Made my annual salary in those 2 months due to overtime. The amount of crap they had pulled was making the project lead tear her hair out. The rest of us, who did not need to deal with the aftermath of what we were finding, were more just amused by it. They were basically building rigs just to write them off their taxes. That doesn't work in general. They were able to get money to do the development they otherwise wouldn't have had, and then write off the loss, so it was a net profit for the company. It was an independent audit, so we were not working directly for the IRS or for the company. The money came from the company, but they had no say in hiring, firing, or our activity. I don't know if anything came of the findings later. I never saw it in the news.
Sounds pretty obvious why it was never in the news. Obviously it’s political, how would we be #1 oil producer if those stories weren’t swept under the rug.
@@isaackvasager9957 It was 14-16 hours a day. Usually 1 day off, not always. 80-100 per week, not 100 every week. Most of the people who signed on dropped off. We got off for a huge blizzard and for Christmas and Thanksgiving. But there's people who put in crazy hours who aren't so lucky to get paid $40 per hour plus (circa 2010) time and a half sitting in a nice desk chair behind a computer in a comfortable office. It wasn't manual labor. I did another job for the same company (it was a doc review company) for AT&T. That one was REALLY easy. They frequently didn't have the documents prepared for us, but they were in a hurry, so they paid for a pretty sizeable team of lawyers to just hang out and wait to see if they'd get their act together to deliver the documents for us to review. Often, we'd get paid to be there for 5 hours doing nothing and then told to come back the next day. And I also did other jobs that were basically 9-5 for 5 days like normal. That crazy hours with tons of work was a 1 time thing, not typical. But I made a lot of money in those 2-3 months.
The single most important trait people can possess is the ability to reassess and adjust their opinions/thoughts in response to new information, instead of stubbornly sticking to their position no matter what. Doubly so when authority is involved. Reinforcing this with children is more important than maintaining absolute authority. The only thing you're a parent teaches a kid by sticking to a punishment or edict which the parent wasn't fully informed about is that someone with authority cannot be wrong and should not be questioned.
May I say, it’s amazing that you picked up the pace your multiplatform distribution line so much. WAN Show is my favorite podcast to listen to on my way to work and it was agonizing always seeing the new episode on UA-cam and forcing myself not to watch it because it would take almost another WEEK before the episode landed on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. Finally it’s on a same day schedule 👍👍👍
I noticed recently the episodes started dropping when they were supposed to. I thought I was going crazy when my podcast app wasn't picking up the new episodes until a week later. Good on Dan for sorting it out. This podcast is my go to when walking the dog or doing something monotonous.
The viewer tantrum story reminded me of my mom's favorite parenting story. When I was five and first went to kindergarten, apparently I watched a classmate throw a tantrum and get placated, so when I came home I decided to demand something and throw a tantrum when I was told no. But my version of a tantrum was to lay gently on the ground, rock side to side, and gingerly kinda-almost-not-really kick my feet and wave my fists around. My mom burst out laughing and after a minute I stopped, sat up, and started laughing too. Obviously I have no memory of this, but I fully believe it, I was super risk/pain averse as a kid. It also was the only temper tantrum I ever threw, according to Mom, so I guess laughing out loud at your kid can work. Lol!
Please keep the UV protective hoodie going! I don’t care for it being anti microbial, but I burn super easy in the sun and it would be amazing in the summer! I can’t explain how much I have been hoping for this product since you first mentioned it! Please keep the project going!
Mountain Hardwear makes good UV clothing, along with other outdoor brands. It seems most are around $60-$80, so I have a feeling LTT’s options would be the same price. I don’t understand how there are so many cheap ~$20 options on Amazon. I have a feeling they’re lying about the specifications.
On the Nvidia thing - it's a behavioral economics trick - if you add an option that is far worse than the other options you offer, no one will pick it, but it makes the other options look better by comparison. They want people to think 'one day is expensive but look how cheap one month is!! What a great deal!'
That works with things that are actually comparable. The cheap thing grabs attention and then there's a much nicer option for more money. 1 day vs whole month are not comparable. Nobody is going to be like "oh this one day thing is interesting". If it was 7-14 days, sure, but a single day for that much will not convince anyone that the whole month is somehow cheap. The most likely reason for this is that they intend to give out promo codes for a single day trial but they don't actually want anyone to spend money on it.
Dan coming to the WAN show was the best thing to happen to Luke. It has completely unlocked and validated all of Luke's intrusive thoughts and I love that they occasionally brick Linus.exe with the sheer amounts of wild and crazy ideas that reside on the Internet. 😂 10/10
I work with Industrial X-ray CT (not for Lumafield, just to be clear). I can’t speak for Lumafield’s products, but if you’re interested in the underlying principles/what the general tech can do or why, I’ll answer questions over the weekend 😊
@@Gusto3791 Hi Gusto, by the looks of it the software is angled for medical uses. What I deal with is everything except people/animals. Medical uses relatively low doses of radiation (so people don’t get cancer), but have a feature resolution on the millimetre scale. For what I deal with, it’s on the single-hundred’s of micrometer scale, but is much higher dose (and can scan metals). The software we use at base is primarily ‘Volume Graphics’ (made in Germany, and is quite easier to use if you have any level of CAD experience). Free softwares for looking at CT do exist though- ‘Dragonfly’ is used quite a lot in universities.
To add to Yuzu situation. I think there is a good theory of why they went down so fast. When Tears of the Kingdom got leaked before it's release it wouldn't run on the regular Yuzu release, but would run on their "early access" Patreon version. So there was a period of time when it's not too difficult to prove that they were directly profiting off of piracy of Tears of the Kingdom, because the only way to play it was to get the pirated leak and pay for Yuzu's Patreon. We don't know how many people did, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that $2.4M that they are paying to Nintendo was mostly earned during that period of time. So this time around Nintendo actually had a case and they could easily prove that it was in Yuzu's interest to promote piracy.
One small problem, the early access builds are not exclusive to their Patreon. The source is available all the time and you're allowed to distribute binaries as long as you don't make it paid. In fact all the guides about running ToTK gave a link to those free builds of the EA code
@@ZedDevStuff That's not exactly a great defense. Not charging for code doesn't mean they weren't charging for it (the builds.) Guides pointing it all out explicitly is actually more damning.
@@ZedDevStuffisn't it the case that Devs had disagreement and one of them was releasing EA version for free? My point is that it isn't their official policy
tldr, they played with fire and got burnt. The unfortunate part is it feels like the rest of the emulation community is being thrown under the bus but I guess time will tell.
I was there when ToTK leaked, only Ryujinx managed to run it the moment it leaked, Yuzu had to be updated (still before release date for ToTK) over time to make it work so yeah Nintendo did have some claim to the lawsuit
As a European/german, as soon as a service wants my credit card (or any payment information for that matter) for a free trial, the service is basically dead to me, with exceptions of services I really need/want/know what it's about and trust. Luckily, it is not very common. Probably mainly because credit cards are not something common to see, especially in the younger generations (at least in Germany). You always have to pay extra for one, and you can do everything else with a normal debit card or PayPal (with the debit card as a connection).
@@cazzah49 You genuinely have no idea what you're talking about, you mean. My maestro debit card's information literally doesn't fit the field given by nebula.
On boot times. Imagine you have turned your company's server off for maintenance (add some RAM, use canned air to clean some dust off, nothing major), and then you turn it on an NOTHING (not even a beep from speaker) happens for 5-10 minutes. It turned out everything was fine, just first boot of servers is atrocious. It's not a problem most of the time, but very painful when you are trying to, e.g., install new bios update or reinstall OS.
@@_Makanko_ if it was the US I'd say no, but I don't actually know enough about how the EU operates and how easy it would be to get out of it. They have enough cash reserves to be pay it without it affecting business. It just depends on if its worth it to pay the occasional fine and continue the shady business practice
Fun fact related to sending fingerprints, these days modern login schemes don’t require sending a password to the server when you log in to let you in. Instead, a cryptographic proof that you know the password is sent, so even if someone magically captures and decrypts your internet traffic, the password wouldn’t get revealed. So not only your fingerprint scans don’t have to leave your device
All these finance discussions *really* shine a light on how people will just give their opinion on anything regardless of having even the slightest bit of knowledge of/experience with the subject
Something I've noticed with children through looking back on myself, watching my younger siblings with large age gaps, and working with kids in some volunteer work is that one of the worst things you can do is try and force them to do something. Forcing them to do things makes them not want to do those things even more, you need to make them feel like they should do these things, if they're old enough to understand more complex reasoning then treat them like an adult and give them a clear explanation on why they should be doing this.
The tax writeoff shirt, and the Bye! shirt are both excellent ideas. I don't buy much, but I would definitely buy both of those. I love the one-off meme shirt ideas (and designs), you should really do more of them. I break out my Trust Me Bro Warranty shirt only on special occasions.
I vaguely remember when the Switch Oled came out and everyone was disappointed in the lack of hardware updates. Linus was on the Wan arguing he just wanted a better screen and the Oled was great for that. Good to see he came around to in due time.
Its upsetting to hear Luke say that invasive anti-cheats are the only way forward. There are already ways around kernel level anti-cheats, and even in Helldivers people are flying around the map spawning stuff in pugs. The ONLY way forward for anti-cheats is cleverness, as it is a cat and mouse game. The developers can squash one mouse, then they WILL adapt and find a new way to cheat. The cat then has to find a clever way to stomp the mouse that may deter other cheaters.
We actually bought our vinyl cutter from Vevor! Been using it at work and I love it. The software looks like Vista (works fine with Win11) era software but it takes SVG in and communicates with the cutter over serial (cutter has a USB to serial adapter inside). The software also supports making any png into SVG outlines to cut.
1:31:58 "... no one is able to avoid paying taxes outright unless they are - unless you are doing something either very clever or very illegal..." Well, if you make 17 grand a year you don't pay income tax, at least in Canada. I make 14 grand a year, so "lots" of wiggle room.
1:30:37 This is why we stopped having employee and student parking, the state said that to have assigned parking would require each employee to pay property tax or some BS. But we didnt have assigned slots, just that classes are over here, and most of the administration is over here. All we had was a sing that said "employee parking" as a way to say "hey your event isnt back here, but you can park here if you want to access the administration" Basically nothing changed after taking those signs down except now when people come in for a one time event, having never been here before, they end up having to walk quite a way, or find a new spot after realizing they're at the wrong buildings
Some people play video games every couple of months. I play retro and casual games more often, but I probably don't play graphically demanding games 5 days a year and I've wasted a lot of money on monthly GeForce now subscriptions because I wanted to spend one afternoon playing Tomb Raider on the TV and forgot to cancel.
Linus to Dennis - "you think I watch the videos with sponsor spots on youtube like some kind of pleb?" Me who only watches on youtube - eheh yea imagine doing that 👀
3:37:00 I think its fine, if your kid is overly tired... pick your battles. You can tell the difference between an act and actually being overtired. Also the bargaining... I give my kids false choices all the time. If you cant finish your food because you are full, you wont have any space for dessert. I tell them all the time, rewards are for good behavior - not for bad behavior. Parents must also show they can be wrong. Kids must learn that its okay for adults to say sorry, because we make mistakes too. And kids must understand that parents can be wrong and they are right at times. I very intentionally make some mistakes, to stimulate my kid to think for himself.
Memory training times can be long on Intel too. My Scar 18 2023 with a 13980HX and 96GB DDR5 takes 10-15 minutes to boot after bios updates and/or EC resets. Also when I swapped back and forth for checking bandwidth when upgrading.
The Nvidia thing is just like gym memberships. My gym costs me £190 per year, but when my girlfriend comes with me for the day she pays £8 for a day pass.
If you went to the gym 253 days out of a year you'd be paying 75p per visit, she pays 8 quid per. (however its roughly 52p per day if you divide by 365 but I doubt you're hitting the gym with zero days off lol) That price difference is mental. Maybe she should look into a monthly pass or something
@@sabersz unfortunately we live in different cities. So it's just when our visits and gym days overlap. Only a couple times a month max so it doesn't actually work out. But yeah, crazy price difference.
@@michealnestor4440I feel like ~$17 a month is really high for a single gym membership, does your gym not offer guest passes? I have a membership for $10 a month for single pass in New York of all places
2:20:13 Well, a lot of dev don't care about working for stuff that's used a lot or not, but rather, love working on cool tech and making stuff good. Or at least, I know I'm in that second boat and know other devs who are too
I am pretty sure I know the reason why the one day subscription is so expensive. They will be giving it out for free with gpu or as promo with other services. The reason it's priced so high is so they can say that it includes $8 of promo.
Sorry if it come up later in the show, but honestly I'm surprised Linus didn't see the comparison between the day pricing of GeForce Now to their graphics cards. It's purely to make you think: "Well if that's how much a day costs and it's only x more to get the month, I might as well buy that." Same way as "well this gpu is trash and for x more I can get the slightly less trash one that'll keep me going till next gen, so might as well buy that".
I do think its important to stress: parenting is NEVER one size fits all. What works amazing for one kid can genuinely be abusive to another. What parents say should generally be law -- but if those parents (intentionally or not) are making orders to the direct detriment of the child, that isnt okay.
Law is whatever people R willing 2 go along with. The ideal way 2 'raise' a kid 2 best integrate into your surrounding 'civilization' is 2 mirror the actual law, which includes things like if 1 kid beats on another, 2 take their stuff & give it 2 the kid who was attacked, as that's how law suits work, etc. If U just approach it from an ACTUAL law perspective, modified 2 apply 2 kids as if 'tried as adults' they will learn way better how 2 get by. 'Child Endangerment' by forcing them outside in the cold alone is just fuking stupid. SOOO many other better ways 2 'force compliance', & not as if U should even try 2 force them 2 'brush their teeth'. It's really not necessary, especially every day. What's infinitely WORSE 4 teeth is going 2 (((Denti$ts))), because they flood their mouths with radiation (X-rays) 2 deliberately add up 2 make the teeth sick, & fluoride 2 weaken teeth (U R not using that krap in toothpaste yes? Use baking soda & salt & maybe hydrogen peroxide if they start going yellow =) Also, never floss. It's a $cam 2 disconnect gums from teeth so they will recede. I'm 55 & never had a cavity & nice teeth. The goal of (((Denti$ts))), same as (((Doctor$))), is 2 DESTROY yor body. The ONLY thing they R good 4 is reattaching a limb or sewing something up or whatever. THey don't do 'prevention', but disease CREATION. 'Trauma Care' is all they R good 4, & U better make sure not 2 take the blood or shots, or they will poison U with the DNA-wrecker juice 2 turn your bod against itself. They admit that is it's purpose = an 'imune response' (against YOR OWN FLESH!) ~> justpaste.it/367w8 iLook about half my age 'koz iStay tha fuk away from (((The Medical Indu$try))) =))
I think their entire point is that we've begun to realise as a society that not everything a parent says SHOULD be followed by their kids. "back in my day..." well back in your day things were very much worse in so many aspects, you just fail to remember them. @@Simple_Dave_Jr
Also it's the wrong term they are using it work. Isn't a tax write off where you take some kind of stock or asset and claim it has lost all worth and that you lost money on it and claim the value of that item is a business cost and "write it off" as lost money. IE. You say that the item cost you 50$, you still have it but it's worth 0$ now so you lost 50$ and so your profits are smaller by 50$
@@milamber319I'm not a tax expert, but pretty sure what you're talking about (bought something worth X, now it's worth Y, and claiming the difference between X and Y as a "loss") is depreciation, which can be deductible, but I think it applies differently.
@@thomaspapenfuhs1924 yes it's the change in tax is a loss. But you describe the asset itself as a tax write off. IE. You might write off some remaining unsold sizes of a clothing line. You shred them or throw them out there "writing them off" and take a loss against your taxes which means you make less money and pay less tax. But the shirts themselves are described as tax write offs. Much like a crashed car that can't be repaired is called a write off.
50:35 so what Luke wants is this Nintendo DS game I had as a kid called 'learn to play chess with fritz & chesster', adult version. I vaguely remember it having some kind of storyline (fit for kids, obviously).
Vevor is so weird. Here is a list of products from them I own: Induction cooktop, stove vent, kids swingset brackets, specialty plumbing tool, entry way shoe organizer. I must say though, everything so far has been outstanding in quality for the price. When a handyman dropped a hammer and shattered our first VEVOR cooktop, he was pretty unhappy because he thought it would cost him like 2k to replace it. Funny moment when I was like "Ha, nope $250 bucks." He was quite relieved. Ended up vastly improving my Homebrew setup with the internals of the broken one too because it was built so modular and was super simple to figure out how the control boards worked. And the frame on the underside is set aside to eventually build a sick desk PC.
@leafan101 it's almost like once people switch they don't want to get rid as most combos are $2k+ iirc. My house doesn't have gas or when my electric combo died I probably woulda switched for price /cook quality reasons but I am stuck with ceramic which is ok but not as good as gas or induction.
@@ironhelix45 Yeah. Nice thing about appliances like ranges (at least electric ones) is that they are some of the easiest appliances to fix, incredibly easy to troubleshoot, and even older models have readily available parts. People don't even bother trying to have nice ovens fixed, they just use it as an excuse to buy another one so often you can find great deals and fix them. All the ones I have done have even had the exact same bolt pattern throughout. One of the most "right to repair" friendly products out there.
@leafan101 Yeah, we had to replace our combo because the control daughter board and the main board died, and to replace them both cost as much as a new combo.
As someone who mains fps games and basically nothing else. I just want to say while cheating will always being an ongoing issue i think Luke over exaggerates the issue greatly because his perspective is coming from mainly tarkov. The issue with tarkov is correlated directly to the dev teams complete disregard for its community and its wishes, as well as the nature of the camp in ridiculous hiding spot gameplay. He mentions "watch videos on it" and i have, I've seen the tarkov cheat video he referenced and I've watched many videos of "white knight" cheaters explaining the cheat "community" and while vanguard is not perfect what it does is reduces the level of cheating so low that it basically just makes the shitters that go through all the effort to cheat (instead of just getting good) brought up to the level of the average player base maybe slightly higher. While it's still cheating, and i hope they can find a way to resolve it. It really doesn't affect people much if at all and id argue things like streamers smurfing is more significant "cheating" then what is sustainable from actual cheaters. there is more room for other games to improve but kernel level anti cheat, especially with the active approach Riot takes against cheaters, is extremely effective and i will happily let ea, activision, or anyone else scrape my data if it means i never think "is he cheating" because its so few and far between it doesn't cross my mind. Which is the experience for 95% of valorant players and the other 5% are just puffing on the copium. PS. while i have played valorant, it is not my main game nor have i played it in some time. Im not some riot simp meat riding. Im just stating information ive gathered from actively being in the "fps community".
I own a Vevor 300bar/4500psi compressor. They are damn amazing. For arround 200 Bucks you get an amazing Value. Use it to fill my 0.2L 250bar Airsoft HPA Tanks since 1 year now, and I play a lot. So far zero problem. Runs on 12V or 230V, which is amazing on the go
8:59 This is just "price tiering" or "price discrimination." It's used to make the monthly option look like a better deal. They don't need people to buy the daily option. Very common psychological trick, used in every industry and readily seen at fast food franchises.
I bought a switch from japan as a memento because it was cheap at the time there and for some specific games only (Botw, Totk, odyssey). the main thing stopping me from playing/buying other games is that stupid game save policy I don't feel like investing the time if I can't pick it back up easily if my switch dies.
Linus - yes! (On parenting) - this is the way to do it. Good parenting is tough and there's no shortcuts (unfortunately!). Giving into kids is only harming them in the long run so stand your ground and they'll grow into great people that (if they choose too) will have their own kids and so it goes on. 👍👍
I don’t think that’s going to help. Anything they were going to add to collect data would already be implemented before this lawsuit even started, and anything they already had collected is in the hands of Nintendo. If you were using this before they settled, then Nintendo already has whatever data the developers had on you.
@@Drazil100 my home router has my VPN installed onto it, and is running full time anyway lol. So if they try really hard, they'll find me in Sweden according to my ip address 😁. Also, I couldn't care less about the big N. I highly doubt they're going to go after millions of people who MIGHT have pirated games. I think their main issue that got them going was the monetization of the emulator and advertisement of playing games before their official release
I seriously doubt Nintendo cares about going after individuals using it. If they use that data they will focus on data that can lead them to people acquiring and distributing titles before release. The fact that they targetted this one emulator and not the other Switch emulator or any other Nintendo emulator says that they were targetting Yuzu for specific reasons. And it seems likely to be a combination of monetization and their connection to games leaked before release dates. Keeping ones Yuzu from online access could be good if there is any sort of auto-update functionality they could use to nuke your install, though.
@@paulr7678I as well don’t think Nintendo is going after any of those who used Yuzu. It’s not worth their time or money. Plus the PR would far magnitudes worse. That said a word of caution. Just cause you’re using a VPN doesn’t safeguard your usage on the internet or your anonymity. You certainly can be found out if those entities so desired. Not to mention VPN providers are loyal to themselves and not their users.
Linus and "double-click parenting"; it was worth watching the whole show just for that part (and I very strongly agree with your parenting advices and vision, as a mother of a really heavily ADHD kid, that kind of parenting works much better than outdated "old school" ways). A lot of parents forget that kids are their own individual human being and that what they're doing is usually not for spite or to be naughty but just because it's part of their learning process and it's your job as a parent to just provide guidelines and boundaries and make sure that not only they get implemented but also respected and enforced. One thing I really like about watching your shows is you never know what way they'll be heading and we always get to learn something new as well as get a few laughs out of things. Keep up the good job! :)
The session length limit is to in theory allow staggered downtime so you don’t have to wait to update games, but today you still have to wait even on Xbox game pass
That would be just the same as using VRR for video playback, which GPUs might handle any. Either detect the frames in a VRR video file, or using GFN desktop app, send the frame times to the GPU to tell them to the monitor
WRT taxes, in American culture, it's disturbingly common for tax games with businesses owning businesses owning businesses (all with one owner or owner family) claiming that their businesses are running at a loss (or only break-even) so no profit taxes, with cars, haircuts, houses, childcare, meals, all kinds of things shoe-horned in as "business expenses", and not taxable. What people miss is that Canada sounds like it's not quite as corrupt.
What we find out is that those types of things in the US are also illegal. The catch is the IRS doesn't have the resources to follow the chain as each 'company' as we've been slowly defunding the IRS. When people are found out for other financial crimes, because people who do that usually are guilty of other financial crimes, they end up in trouble for taxes as well from those schemes.
On the topic of preventing cheating with a device, you could have a camera strapped to your headset that sees where you're looking. This I think would prevent the external monitor cheat
With all the problems LMG has on WAN show accessing stuff on external file hosts, why the HELL don't they set up an internal /dump/ folder on an internal fileserver and in there have a folder for each weeks live show episode with all the files easily accessable? At work we have ~300 employees and there is a /dump/ that everyone has read/write access too. Perfect for when you need to send random files to another computer or employee and it's too big for email.
I guess that's the reason: everyone could put files on such a folder. As far as i heard, they are very strongly limit the access of these wan-show devices to the internal network, so they are sure, that they cannot accidentally show internal documents and that they don't have to be super careful to access websites, which are suggested by the audience.
Seriously, a BYE shirt would be sick. Put the pixel versions on the front with it with Luke's waving, and have the back say "Same Bad Time, Same Bad Channel."
> 3:30:14 Odd things you've seen wired up to a computer? I used a headunit on PC for years. It was a once-top end kenwood with room correction which was the primary reason i used it. Now i just use equaliser APO instead, bit of a learning curve though. I did and still do also have a sealed 15" subwoofer powered connected to a 200w car amp, powered by an ATX psu that switches on and off with my PC. On my desk i have a pair of genexxa monitors powered by a denon stereo amp. Bit of a hodgepodge but when it's dialled in, it's very good for very little money.
Equalizer APO can get decent sounding results but it's a buggy wreck, & 'Voicemeeter Banana' freeware is way better & works on XP so even better! =D It's way more intuitive & efficient & reliable, etc.
@@Deathrape-if4kl I mean, one's an EQ and ones a mixer. There is some feature crossover but they aren't really comparable (....which is why EqAPO can work as a plugin for Voicemeeter) Anyway, i don't use a dead OS on my Main rig and if EqAPO was buggy, i wouldnt be using that either :)
Pure water has zero abrasive properties, the impurities and sediments that are carried by it cause the abrasions similarly to how pure water doesn't conduct electricity without electrolytes in it.
Normal people: months waiting to get diagnosed with something to which early detection is key LMG: just bought a CT scanner (as the cheaper option since PET-TC scanners where out stock) 🤯
@@InnuyaPrecisely. The OP’s statement has just as much meaning as : people live below poverty line and eat only once a day, whilst Linus just bought two weeks worth of groceries
@@Innuya On a serious note. I’m my hospital, we have 3 CT scanners and they are not running 24/7 full tilt. There is not enough processing of patients,referrals, consultants radiographers and GPs to get everyone scanned quickly. If there was, those scanners would be staffed 2 full shifts /4 short shifts per 24hrs and running scans back to back. ….. also, this doesn’t look at all like a medical grade CT scanner, so don’t worry, no harm done here
The problem with bamboo textiles(rayon/viscose) is, that it is chemically liquefied and looses all the antimicrobial properties. There are bamboo fabrics that could retain antimicrobial properties, but would be too rough to be used in clothing items. Almost all of bamboo textile products are just a marketing SCAM!
Regarding the CT scanner: If I recall correctly, Tested worked with Lumafield on scanning different cable internals and kinda showed why the super cheap ones are absolutely horrible, because there's basically nothing inside it, not even all the connectors in some cases, and why Apple's Thunderbolt 4 cable is so dang expensive. There's, like, a 7 layer PCB in there that does all sorts of signal smoothing and stuff. That could be a cool thing to show off.
Tested videos were not scanning Apple branded Thunderbolt compared to unbranded Thunderbolt. It was Apple branded Thunderbolt compared to the most basic low end USB C cable. Also, the cost was never talked about in the video on purpose. The same thing was done in the additional videos they did with Lumafield.
In reference to the G-force now up charging crap. You don't seem to have dealt with commercial gyms. Crunch Fitness in the USA charges $10 per day for a day pass, and the base membership, which is the same access level as the day pass costs $10-$15 depending on the location.
@dabkevinhere5422 it's often insurance premium, doesn't make sense to let someone in who often is a newcomer to a gym, and risk high insurance premiums, as insurance companies will ask specifically about day passes or promotional events. But it is an ingrained industry standard for these pseudo members only clubs. So they just charge a bunch.
1day vs 1month price discussion. Irrational lowest price is there to push you to take next higher one. You will instinctively compare the two and conclude that second is a bargain, this is old business practice, it is structured around nobody taking 1day.
I believe it is UA-camr Twomad who died recently. There are rumors (I don't know if they are true) that he died with Overwatch playing idle on his computer.
I believe they are talking about Canadian UA-camr Twomad who died age 24 while playing overwatch 2. His discord had him online on overwatch quite long after his confirmed time of death.
OMG I laughed so much. Every time Luke or Dan said "Can we do xxxx as a tax write-off" and watching Linus get more and more wound up. So, so, so funny!
This Yuzu crap was bound to happen when emulator makers not only targeted CURRENT GEN consoles but also started CHARGING for the emulator access with patreons and such...
@@washuaiyes but crucially that emulation court case was before things like the DMCA, there are lawyers who have commented on the emulation situation and said these are not iron clad defences like people think they are. We all need to stop parroting that one point and be concerned any time an emulator is in the legal headlights, and putting any kind of money into the equation moves you to the top of the list, it's dangerous.
Except this lawsuit also shut down Citra... which is an emulator for the 3ds which nintendo STOPPED SELLING GAMES FOR. They literally shut down their e-shop permanently.
Just for accuracy's sake: Yuzu did NOT charge for emulator access. As a Patron you could get an auto installer for Yuzu Early Access. You have always been able to access the Early Access source code and compile it yourself for free. Just need to follow a guide and press a few buttons.
@@television9233 except Nintendo can reactivate that whenever they want. Just because they have officially shut it down does not mean it doesn’t have the potential for profit. So it is completely irrelevant if they are actively selling these things if they COULD be selling them.
Most people finance their phones tho… do you know anyone who actually outright fully buys their phones? You pay for a cellular service plus your phone typically. I really don’t think I know anyone willing to blow $1000+ all at once on a phone, let alone a gaming console. Sure some would, but I really doubt most people would want that, and these consoles aren’t even worth that much. That’d be insane.
You say you read a lot of comments, let's see. PLEASE stop eating and fidgeting on the show, it's getting annoying to have to skip ahead all the time. Watching this every week has been a weekly element for me for almost a decade, I absolutely hate to have to stop doing it or zipping through a bunch of topics.

It's always eating crisps or fidgetting with a screwdrivers spinny top piece for 3 hours and none of it belongs in a podcast with otherwise fantastic production value.
@@SanRS About "fidgetting with a screwdrivers spinny top piece for 3 hours", linus has ADHD. That's probably where the fidgeting is coming from, and as a fellow ADD enjoyer, it's legit hard to not fidget.

I remember buying games that had ATi and nVidia sponsor screens saying "best played with" and no one has the attention span for gaming now days, we've gone from BG3 to Palworld to Helldivers 2 and now alot of people are jumping on Supermarket simulator, nVidia or AMD need to start chasing developers using UE5 to try and to push the limits of what games could be, we need more "can it run crysis" type of games.
Okay, one this was such a funny wan show, i loved it Two, im super impressed how solid of a parent linus is. Like these are good parenting techniques, and i wish more parents would use them. I wish my parents did, trying to fix your screwed up brain as an adult sucks LOL

Thanks my man. I am still mad LTT doesn't pay you yet.
I'm curious to know what your process is like to be so efficient. Do you listen and back track a bunch to know where the topic started? Do you make a best guess of when a new topic starts and then write down the topic name when you know what they're talking about?

You said you’d slow down!
On the off chance any LMG staff reads this:
Regarding the CT scanner, I'm a US-based radiation therapy medical physicist. We're the ones responsible for maintenance, image quality and safety of medical CT simulator scanners, linear accelerators, compute clusters for image reconstruction and radiation dose calculation and physics simulations using the CT images, etc., for use in radiation therapy. If you need any advice/help with it, I'd love to be of help!
You could send them your resume
I concure.
Can you do it as a tax write off ?
"We bought a CT scanner."
I am guessing it's for Elijah?
He needs it so often it makes sense to buy one ;p
Linus, it’s a tAx wRiTeOfF

To the Roku TOS changes issue: The law should be that the same methods to Consent/Accept something need to be used to Deny as well... with a similar number of clicks and entry process. If the method to consent is a single button on the screen then the method to Deny should ALSO be a single button on the screen. Forcing people to mail in a Denial of Consent is ludicrous.

I'm so happy to hear you speak about proper parenting skills. I have essentially stopped seeing one of my best friends, due to my inability to witness his painfully poor parenting methods. It really is a crime against humanity to raise little demons for the rest of us to deal with.
You can influence or very slightly improve the situation by not removing yourself from their existence XD
Just be diplomatic about it, I'm betting most either don't realise or need a nudge in the right direction.
@@dallysinghson5569 Thanks for the reply. Of course we're still in touch, and good friends, I just had to uninvite myself from the weekly get-togethers at their house. I tried diplomatic nudging, to no avail. They subscribed to the "let the kids do whatever", or "give in if they cry too much" mentality, which I found insufferable.
@@thirstyCactusNot to mention those types don’t realise they can influence others children and I wouldn’t want my toddlers around children who get away with what they like. My children don’t need to see others getting away with it and think it’s ok.
This is really hard to watch, and I can attest that some people just don't listen to your advice. My friends kids are ipad baby's and developing speech impairments from what I believe to be the lack of attention. One is five now and should have put into school two years ago but isn't.
I've always been really impressed when he talks about parenting. Love him or hate him, you can tell he genuinely cares about not screwing his kids up and that's really half the battle. Everyone's gonna make mistakes, but if you just give up and throw a phone at them then you never should've had them in the first place.

When Dan said “Google en passant” I died! Hello fellow anarchy chess enjoyer
New response just dropped
I worked on an audit of a large oil company. I was part of a team of a dozen lawyers working 100 hours a week for 2 months doing document review. Made my annual salary in those 2 months due to overtime.
The amount of crap they had pulled was making the project lead tear her hair out. The rest of us, who did not need to deal with the aftermath of what we were finding, were more just amused by it. They were basically building rigs just to write them off their taxes.
That doesn't work in general. They were able to get money to do the development they otherwise wouldn't have had, and then write off the loss, so it was a net profit for the company.
It was an independent audit, so we were not working directly for the IRS or for the company. The money came from the company, but they had no say in hiring, firing, or our activity. I don't know if anything came of the findings later. I never saw it in the news.
Sounds pretty obvious why it was never in the news. Obviously it’s political, how would we be #1 oil producer if those stories weren’t swept under the rug.
Somewhere there's a sealed barrel of oil with your project lead in it.
You worked seven 14 hour days a week? Or did you do five 20 hour days? Sure, bud.
@@isaackvasager9957 It was 14-16 hours a day. Usually 1 day off, not always. 80-100 per week, not 100 every week. Most of the people who signed on dropped off. We got off for a huge blizzard and for Christmas and Thanksgiving. But there's people who put in crazy hours who aren't so lucky to get paid $40 per hour plus (circa 2010) time and a half sitting in a nice desk chair behind a computer in a comfortable office. It wasn't manual labor.
I did another job for the same company (it was a doc review company) for AT&T. That one was REALLY easy. They frequently didn't have the documents prepared for us, but they were in a hurry, so they paid for a pretty sizeable team of lawyers to just hang out and wait to see if they'd get their act together to deliver the documents for us to review. Often, we'd get paid to be there for 5 hours doing nothing and then told to come back the next day. And I also did other jobs that were basically 9-5 for 5 days like normal. That crazy hours with tons of work was a 1 time thing, not typical. But I made a lot of money in those 2-3 months.
@isaackvasager9957 careful son your privilege is showing. A lot of people DO work 14 hour 7 day weeks, including myself sometimes.
The single most important trait people can possess is the ability to reassess and adjust their opinions/thoughts in response to new information, instead of stubbornly sticking to their position no matter what. Doubly so when authority is involved.
Reinforcing this with children is more important than maintaining absolute authority. The only thing you're a parent teaches a kid by sticking to a punishment or edict which the parent wasn't fully informed about is that someone with authority cannot be wrong and should not be questioned.
May I say, it’s amazing that you picked up the pace your multiplatform distribution line so much. WAN Show is my favorite podcast to listen to on my way to work and it was agonizing always seeing the new episode on UA-cam and forcing myself not to watch it because it would take almost another WEEK before the episode landed on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

I noticed recently the episodes started dropping when they were supposed to. I thought I was going crazy when my podcast app wasn't picking up the new episodes until a week later. Good on Dan for sorting it out. This podcast is my go to when walking the dog or doing something monotonous.
The viewer tantrum story reminded me of my mom's favorite parenting story. When I was five and first went to kindergarten, apparently I watched a classmate throw a tantrum and get placated, so when I came home I decided to demand something and throw a tantrum when I was told no. But my version of a tantrum was to lay gently on the ground, rock side to side, and gingerly kinda-almost-not-really kick my feet and wave my fists around. My mom burst out laughing and after a minute I stopped, sat up, and started laughing too.
Obviously I have no memory of this, but I fully believe it, I was super risk/pain averse as a kid. It also was the only temper tantrum I ever threw, according to Mom, so I guess laughing out loud at your kid can work. Lol!
Please keep the UV protective hoodie going! I don’t care for it being anti microbial, but I burn super easy in the sun and it would be amazing in the summer! I can’t explain how much I have been hoping for this product since you first mentioned it! Please keep the project going!
Yes, please do.
Mountain Hardwear makes good UV clothing, along with other outdoor brands. It seems most are around $60-$80, so I have a feeling LTT’s options would be the same price.
I don’t understand how there are so many cheap ~$20 options on Amazon. I have a feeling they’re lying about the specifications.
Agreed, I would love it to be anti-microbial but it’s by no means needed
On the Nvidia thing - it's a behavioral economics trick - if you add an option that is far worse than the other options you offer, no one will pick it, but it makes the other options look better by comparison. They want people to think 'one day is expensive but look how cheap one month is!! What a great deal!'
That works with things that are actually comparable. The cheap thing grabs attention and then there's a much nicer option for more money. 1 day vs whole month are not comparable. Nobody is going to be like "oh this one day thing is interesting". If it was 7-14 days, sure, but a single day for that much will not convince anyone that the whole month is somehow cheap. The most likely reason for this is that they intend to give out promo codes for a single day trial but they don't actually want anyone to spend money on it.
thinks back to when i was a teenager and how much i would pay for a day at a net cafe to play the same games as friends.. people will do this mate
This is the most unhinged tax write off wan show yet.

I work with Industrial X-ray CT (not for Lumafield, just to be clear).
I can’t speak for Lumafield’s products, but if you’re interested in the underlying principles/what the general tech can do or why, I’ll answer questions over the weekend 😊
I’m curious. One of my extended family members created RadCalc. He seems to be super rich, but how is the software? I’ve always been curious.
@@Gusto3791 Hi Gusto, by the looks of it the software is angled for medical uses. What I deal with is everything except people/animals. Medical uses relatively low doses of radiation (so people don’t get cancer), but have a feature resolution on the millimetre scale.
For what I deal with, it’s on the single-hundred’s of micrometer scale, but is much higher dose (and can scan metals).
The software we use at base is primarily ‘Volume Graphics’ (made in Germany, and is quite easier to use if you have any level of CAD experience). Free softwares for looking at CT do exist though- ‘Dragonfly’ is used quite a lot in universities.
Every week, little by little, I'm loving Dan more and more. The man is sassiness incarnated.
To add to Yuzu situation. I think there is a good theory of why they went down so fast.
When Tears of the Kingdom got leaked before it's release it wouldn't run on the regular Yuzu release, but would run on their "early access" Patreon version. So there was a period of time when it's not too difficult to prove that they were directly profiting off of piracy of Tears of the Kingdom, because the only way to play it was to get the pirated leak and pay for Yuzu's Patreon. We don't know how many people did, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that $2.4M that they are paying to Nintendo was mostly earned during that period of time.
So this time around Nintendo actually had a case and they could easily prove that it was in Yuzu's interest to promote piracy.
One small problem, the early access builds are not exclusive to their Patreon. The source is available all the time and you're allowed to distribute binaries as long as you don't make it paid. In fact all the guides about running ToTK gave a link to those free builds of the EA code
@@ZedDevStuff That's not exactly a great defense.
Not charging for code doesn't mean they weren't charging for it (the builds.)
Guides pointing it all out explicitly is actually more damning.
@@ZedDevStuffisn't it the case that Devs had disagreement and one of them was releasing EA version for free?
My point is that it isn't their official policy
tldr, they played with fire and got burnt. The unfortunate part is it feels like the rest of the emulation community is being thrown under the bus but I guess time will tell.
I was there when ToTK leaked, only Ryujinx managed to run it the moment it leaked, Yuzu had to be updated (still before release date for ToTK) over time to make it work so yeah Nintendo did have some claim to the lawsuit
As a European/german, as soon as a service wants my credit card (or any payment information for that matter) for a free trial, the service is basically dead to me, with exceptions of services I really need/want/know what it's about and trust.
Luckily, it is not very common. Probably mainly because credit cards are not something common to see, especially in the younger generations (at least in Germany). You always have to pay extra for one, and you can do everything else with a normal debit card or PayPal (with the debit card as a connection).
in the US for online purchases we typically use the term "credit card" to mean debit cards as well. Basically it means any card that you can pay with.

On boot times. Imagine you have turned your company's server off for maintenance (add some RAM, use canned air to clean some dust off, nothing major), and then you turn it on an NOTHING (not even a beep from speaker) happens for 5-10 minutes. It turned out everything was fine, just first boot of servers is atrocious. It's not a problem most of the time, but very painful when you are trying to, e.g., install new bios update or reinstall OS.
I definitely thought they would cover Apple being fined by the EU.
EU's been hitting too many home runs recently clearly they're getting saturated
@@daniwalmsley611 I agree but do you think Apple will actually end up paying that fine?
@@_Makanko_ they probably will try not to. The 2 billion fine would be roughly 8% of their earnings last year. That's too much to just pay and ignore
@@_Makanko_ if it was the US I'd say no, but I don't actually know enough about how the EU operates and how easy it would be to get out of it. They have enough cash reserves to be pay it without it affecting business. It just depends on if its worth it to pay the occasional fine and continue the shady business practice
Fun fact related to sending fingerprints, these days modern login schemes don’t require sending a password to the server when you log in to let you in.
Instead, a cryptographic proof that you know the password is sent, so even if someone magically captures and decrypts your internet traffic, the password wouldn’t get revealed.
So not only your fingerprint scans don’t have to leave your device
Anybody who thinks maths is boring hasn't looked into zero-knowledge proofs.

Something I've noticed with children through looking back on myself, watching my younger siblings with large age gaps, and working with kids in some volunteer work is that one of the worst things you can do is try and force them to do something. Forcing them to do things makes them not want to do those things even more, you need to make them feel like they should do these things, if they're old enough to understand more complex reasoning then treat them like an adult and give them a clear explanation on why they should be doing this.

Its upsetting to hear Luke say that invasive anti-cheats are the only way forward. There are already ways around kernel level anti-cheats, and even in Helldivers people are flying around the map spawning stuff in pugs. The ONLY way forward for anti-cheats is cleverness, as it is a cat and mouse game. The developers can squash one mouse, then they WILL adapt and find a new way to cheat. The cat then has to find a clever way to stomp the mouse that may deter other cheaters.

We actually bought our vinyl cutter from Vevor! Been using it at work and I love it.

1:30:37 This is why we stopped having employee and student parking, the state said that to have assigned parking would require each employee to pay property tax or some BS.
But we didnt have assigned slots, just that classes are over here, and most of the administration is over here.
All we had was a sing that said "employee parking" as a way to say "hey your event isnt back here, but you can park here if you want to access the administration"
Basically nothing changed after taking those signs down except now when people come in for a one time event, having never been here before, they end up having to walk quite a way, or find a new spot after realizing they're at the wrong buildings
Some people play video games every couple of months.

Parents must also show they can be wrong. Kids must learn that its okay for adults to say sorry, because we make mistakes too. And kids must understand that parents can be wrong and they are right at times. I very intentionally make some mistakes, to stimulate my kid to think for himself.

I do think its important to stress: parenting is NEVER one size fits all. What works amazing for one kid can genuinely be abusive to another. What parents say should generally be law -- but if those parents (intentionally or not) are making orders to the direct detriment of the child, that isnt okay.
I'm a huge proponent of cages myself...
Law is whatever people R willing 2 go along with. The ideal way 2 'raise' a kid 2 best integrate into your surrounding 'civilization' is 2 mirror the actual law, which includes things like if 1 kid beats on another, 2 take their stuff & give it 2 the kid who was attacked, as that's how law suits work, etc. If U just approach it from an ACTUAL law perspective, modified 2 apply 2 kids as if 'tried as adults' they will learn way better how 2 get by. 'Child Endangerment' by forcing them outside in the cold alone is just fuking stupid. SOOO many other better ways 2 'force compliance', & not as if U should even try 2 force them 2 'brush their teeth'. It's really not necessary, especially every day. What's infinitely WORSE 4 teeth is going 2 (((Denti$ts))), because they flood their mouths with radiation (X-rays) 2 deliberately add up 2 make the teeth sick, & fluoride 2 weaken teeth (U R not using that krap in toothpaste yes? Use baking soda & salt & maybe hydrogen peroxide if they start going yellow =) Also, never floss. It's a $cam 2 disconnect gums from teeth so they will recede. I'm 55 & never had a cavity & nice teeth. The goal of (((Denti$ts))), same as (((Doctor$))), is 2 DESTROY yor body. The ONLY thing they R good 4 is reattaching a limb or sewing something up or whatever. THey don't do 'prevention', but disease CREATION. 'Trauma Care' is all they R good 4, & U better make sure not 2 take the blood or shots, or they will poison U with the DNA-wrecker juice 2 turn your bod against itself.

I hate the term tax write-off. It makes people think you don't have to pay any taxes. Tax deductible is a more appropriate term.
Also it's the wrong term they are using it work. Isn't a tax write off where you take some kind of stock or asset and claim it has lost all worth and that you lost money on it and claim the value of that item is a business cost and "write it off" as lost money. IE. You say that the item cost you 50$, you still have it but it's worth 0$ now so you lost 50$ and so your profits are smaller by 50$
Depends... when a millionaire "donates" an art piece to a charity and says it's worth millions... feels more like a write-off than a deductible.
People think it means it was free. It just means you didn't pay taxes on the money you used to buy it.
@@milamber319I'm not a tax expert, but pretty sure what you're talking about (bought something worth X, now it's worth Y, and claiming the difference between X and Y as a "loss") is depreciation, which can be deductible, but I think it applies differently.
@@thomaspapenfuhs1924 yes it's the change in tax is a loss. But you describe the asset itself as a tax write off.
IE. You might write off some remaining unsold sizes of a clothing line. You shred them or throw them out there "writing them off" and take a loss against your taxes which means you make less money and pay less tax.
But the shirts themselves are described as tax write offs. Much like a crashed car that can't be repaired is called a write off.
50:35 so what Luke wants is this Nintendo DS game I had as a kid called 'learn to play chess with fritz & chesster', adult version. I vaguely remember it having some kind of storyline (fit for kids, obviously).
Vevor is so weird. Here is a list of products from them I own: Induction cooktop, stove vent, kids swingset brackets, specialty plumbing tool, entry way shoe organizer.
I must say though, everything so far has been outstanding in quality for the price. When a handyman dropped a hammer and shattered our first VEVOR cooktop, he was pretty unhappy because he thought it would cost him like 2k to replace it. Funny moment when I was like "Ha, nope $250 bucks." He was quite relieved. Ended up vastly improving my Homebrew setup with the internals of the broken one too because it was built so modular and was super simple to figure out how the control boards worked. And the frame on the underside is set aside to eventually build a sick desk PC.
Good to know about the induction cooktops. Wish they had an oven cooktop combo cause my kitchen is not set up for them to be seperate.
@@ironhelix45 yeah, induction/oven combos are the hardest to find on the used market as well.
@leafan101 it's almost like once people switch they don't want to get rid as most combos are $2k+ iirc. My house doesn't have gas or when my electric combo died I probably woulda switched for price /cook quality reasons but I am stuck with ceramic which is ok but not as good as gas or induction.
@@ironhelix45 Yeah. Nice thing about appliances like ranges (at least electric ones) is that they are some of the easiest appliances to fix, incredibly easy to troubleshoot, and even older models have readily available parts. People don't even bother trying to have nice ovens fixed, they just use it as an excuse to buy another one so often you can find great deals and fix them. All the ones I have done have even had the exact same bolt pattern throughout. One of the most "right to repair" friendly products out there.
@leafan101 Yeah, we had to replace our combo because the control daughter board and the main board died, and to replace them both cost as much as a new combo.
As someone who mains fps games and basically nothing else. I just want to say while cheating will always being an ongoing issue i think Luke over exaggerates the issue greatly because his perspective is coming from mainly tarkov. The issue with tarkov is correlated directly to the dev teams complete disregard for its community and its wishes, as well as the nature of the camp in ridiculous hiding spot gameplay.
He mentions "watch videos on it" and i have, I've seen the tarkov cheat video he referenced and I've watched many videos of "white knight" cheaters explaining the cheat "community" and while vanguard is not perfect what it does is reduces the level of cheating so low that it basically just makes the shitters that go through all the effort to cheat (instead of just getting good) brought up to the level of the average player base maybe slightly higher. While it's still cheating, and i hope they can find a way to resolve it. It really doesn't affect people much if at all and id argue things like streamers smurfing is more significant "cheating" then what is sustainable from actual cheaters.
there is more room for other games to improve but kernel level anti cheat, especially with the active approach Riot takes against cheaters, is extremely effective and i will happily let ea, activision, or anyone else scrape my data if it means i never think "is he cheating" because its so few and far between it doesn't cross my mind. Which is the experience for 95% of valorant players and the other 5% are just puffing on the copium.
PS. while i have played valorant, it is not my main game nor have i played it in some time. Im not some riot simp meat riding. Im just stating information ive gathered from actively being in the "fps community".
50¢ a day is still more than the $10 monthly charge
not if you only get to use it on the weekends
Except when you factor in the fee the business has to pay every time it charges your credit card.
They get profit when you are not playing so paying little when you actually want to play would make them a massive loss

8:59 This is just "price tiering" or "price discrimination." It's used to make the monthly option look like a better deal. They don't need people to buy the daily option. Very common psychological trick, used in every industry and readily seen at fast food franchises.
I bought a switch from japan as a memento because it was cheap at the time there and for some specific games only (Botw, Totk, odyssey). the main thing stopping me from playing/buying other games is that stupid game save policy I don't feel like investing the time if I can't pick it back up easily if my switch dies.
Linus - yes! (On parenting) - this is the way to do it. Good parenting is tough and there's no shortcuts (unfortunately!). Giving into kids is only harming them in the long run so stand your ground and they'll grow into great people that (if they choose too) will have their own kids and so it goes on. 👍👍
Makes me happy to have a "founders" account for GeForce now. Still loving today yuzu, although I've blocked it's Internet access now.
I don’t think that’s going to help. Anything they were going to add to collect data would already be implemented before this lawsuit even started, and anything they already had collected is in the hands of Nintendo. If you were using this before they settled, then Nintendo already has whatever data the developers had on you.
@@Drazil100 my home router has my VPN installed onto it, and is running full time anyway lol. So if they try really hard, they'll find me in Sweden according to my ip address 😁. Also, I couldn't care less about the big N. I highly doubt they're going to go after millions of people who MIGHT have pirated games. I think their main issue that got them going was the monetization of the emulator and advertisement of playing games before their official release
And what do you gain by blocking it?
I seriously doubt Nintendo cares about going after individuals using it.
If they use that data they will focus on data that can lead them to people acquiring and distributing titles before release.
The fact that they targetted this one emulator and not the other Switch emulator or any other Nintendo emulator says that they were targetting Yuzu for specific reasons. And it seems likely to be a combination of monetization and their connection to games leaked before release dates.
Keeping ones Yuzu from online access could be good if there is any sort of auto-update functionality they could use to nuke your install, though.
@@paulr7678I as well don’t think Nintendo is going after any of those who used Yuzu. It’s not worth their time or money. Plus the PR would far magnitudes worse.

Linus and "double-click parenting"; it was worth watching the whole show just for that part (and I very strongly agree with your parenting advices and vision, as a mother of a really heavily ADHD kid, that kind of parenting works much better than outdated "old school" ways). A lot of parents forget that kids are their own individual human being and that what they're doing is usually not for spite or to be naughty but just because it's part of their learning process and it's your job as a parent to just provide guidelines and boundaries and make sure that not only they get implemented but also respected and enforced.
One thing I really like about watching your shows is you never know what way they'll be heading and we always get to learn something new as well as get a few laughs out of things. Keep up the good job! :)

WRT taxes, in American culture, it's disturbingly common for tax games with businesses owning businesses owning businesses (all with one owner or owner family) claiming that their businesses are running at a loss (or only break-even) so no profit taxes, with cars, haircuts, houses, childcare, meals, all kinds of things shoe-horned in as "business expenses", and not taxable.
What people miss is that Canada sounds like it's not quite as corrupt.
What we find out is that those types of things in the US are also illegal. The catch is the IRS doesn't have the resources to follow the chain as each 'company' as we've been slowly defunding the IRS. When people are found out for other financial crimes, because people who do that usually are guilty of other financial crimes, they end up in trouble for taxes as well from those schemes.
On the topic of preventing cheating with a device, you could have a camera strapped to your headset that sees where you're looking. This I think would prevent the external monitor cheat
With all the problems LMG has on WAN show accessing stuff on external file hosts, why the HELL don't they set up an internal /dump/ folder on an internal fileserver and in there have a folder for each weeks live show episode with all the files easily accessable? At work we have ~300 employees and there is a /dump/ that everyone has read/write access too. Perfect for when you need to send random files to another computer or employee and it's too big for email.
I guess that's the reason: everyone could put files on such a folder. As far as i heard, they are very strongly limit the access of these wan-show devices to the internal network, so they are sure, that they cannot accidentally show internal documents and that they don't have to be super careful to access websites, which are suggested by the audience.

The Nvida daily charge is more expensive than questionable naked people websites' dailly offers....
Regarding the CT scanner: If I recall correctly, Tested worked with Lumafield on scanning different cable internals and kinda showed why the super cheap ones are absolutely horrible, because there's basically nothing inside it, not even all the connectors in some cases, and why Apple's Thunderbolt 4 cable is so dang expensive. There's, like, a 7 layer PCB in there that does all sorts of signal smoothing and stuff. That could be a cool thing to show off.
Tested videos were not scanning Apple branded Thunderbolt compared to unbranded Thunderbolt. It was Apple branded Thunderbolt compared to the most basic low end USB C cable. Also, the cost was never talked about in the video on purpose. The same thing was done in the additional videos they did with Lumafield.
In reference to the G-force now up charging crap. You don't seem to have dealt with commercial gyms. Crunch Fitness in the USA charges $10 per day for a day pass, and the base membership, which is the same access level as the day pass costs $10-$15 depending on the location.
La fitness is 20 a day and a membership is 25/month when dude Said that to me I was confused as fuck
@dabkevinhere5422 it's often insurance premium, doesn't make sense to let someone in who often is a newcomer to a gym, and risk high insurance premiums, as insurance companies will ask specifically about day passes or promotional events. But it is an ingrained industry standard for these pseudo members only clubs. So they just charge a bunch.
1day vs 1month price discussion. Irrational lowest price is there to push you to take next higher one. You will instinctively compare the two and conclude that second is a bargain, this is old business practice, it is structured around nobody taking 1day.
What is the backstory on the person they were talking about at the beginning about the session length on Gforce now?
Curious about this too; my Google Fu failed me
I believe it is UA-camr Twomad who died recently. There are rumors (I don't know if they are true) that he died with Overwatch playing idle on his computer.
I believe they are talking about Canadian UA-camr Twomad who died age 24 while playing overwatch 2. His discord had him online on overwatch quite long after his confirmed time of death.
OMG I laughed so much. Every time Luke or Dan said "Can we do xxxx as a tax write-off" and watching Linus get more and more wound up. So, so, so funny!
I had to look at the thumbnail twice.
That thumbnail one “i” away from a certified Call of Duty clan tag
😭
I can't believe Linus found an infinite money glitch and wrote off his pool smh
This Yuzu crap was bound to happen when emulator makers not only targeted CURRENT GEN consoles but also started CHARGING for the emulator access with patreons and such...
@@washuaiyes but crucially that emulation court case was before things like the DMCA, there are lawyers who have commented on the emulation situation and said these are not iron clad defences like people think they are. We all need to stop parroting that one point and be concerned any time an emulator is in the legal headlights, and putting any kind of money into the equation moves you to the top of the list, it's dangerous.
Except this lawsuit also shut down Citra... which is an emulator for the 3ds which nintendo STOPPED SELLING GAMES FOR. They literally shut down their e-shop permanently.
Just for accuracy's sake: Yuzu did NOT charge for emulator access.
As a Patron you could get an auto installer for Yuzu Early Access.
You have always been able to access the Early Access source code and compile it yourself for free. Just need to follow a guide and press a few buttons.
@@AthanImmortalHow do you figure a case from 2011 happened before a law was passed in 1998?
Genuinely curious how you came to this conclusion.
@@television9233 except Nintendo can reactivate that whenever they want. Just because they have officially shut it down does not mean it doesn’t have the potential for profit. So it is completely irrelevant if they are actively selling these things if they COULD be selling them.
If people are buying $1000+ phones people will buy $1000 consoles.
Most people finance their phones tho… do you know anyone who actually outright fully buys their phones? You pay for a cellular service plus your phone typically. I really don’t think I know anyone willing to blow $1000+ all at once on a phone, let alone a gaming console. Sure some would, but I really doubt most people would want that, and these consoles aren’t even worth that much. That’d be insane.
You say you read a lot of comments, let's see. PLEASE stop eating and fidgeting on the show, it's getting annoying to have to skip ahead all the time. Watching this every week has been a weekly element for me for almost a decade, I absolutely hate to have to stop doing it or zipping through a bunch of topics. Drink a smoothie from your supplements sponsorship or something if you're incapable of going 3-4 hours without snacking, just PLEASE pick something less distracting than potato chips in a tinfoil bag.
Ya, the chips were too much. i have to skip past the MAUNCH MAUNCH MAUNCH into the mic.
@@cdsbow1 if it was once or whatever I wouldn't say anything because I'm well aware that I'm the sensitive one here, it's just every show now for months and it's taking away from the joy of something I care about. It's always eating crisps or fidgetting with a screwdrivers spinny top piece for 3 hours and none of it belongs in a podcast with otherwise fantastic production value.
@@SanRS About "fidgetting with a screwdrivers spinny top piece for 3 hours", linus has ADHD. That's probably where the fidgeting is coming from, and as a fellow ADD enjoyer, it's legit hard to not fidget.
@@erilgaz I don't care if he has the bubonic plague max pro, pick something inaudible to fuck with or ask the producer to remind you if you're doing unsuitable shit in an audio recording.
I remember buying games that had ATi and nVidia sponsor screens saying "best played with" and no one has the attention span for gaming now days, we've gone from BG3 to Palworld to Helldivers 2 and now alot of people are jumping on Supermarket simulator, nVidia or AMD need to start chasing developers using UE5 to try and to push the limits of what games could be, we need more "can it run crysis" type of games.
Aunt gonna happen cause of consol
damn i JUST missed it lol
I cant buy most of what the sponsors is for because I live in Europe, but the Dennis ads are too funny to skip XD
The thumbnail was.... misleading
We need a "Tax Write off" shirt. Please please please. Whole clothing line in fact.
Obligatory nokiii where are you? 😆
Okay, one this was such a funny wan show, i loved it
Two, im super impressed how solid of a parent linus is. Like these are good parenting techniques, and i wish more parents would use them. I wish my parents did, trying to fix your screwed up brain as an adult sucks LOL
I like the WAN show but the chewing sound made stop watching them.
1:52:43 greatest merch message of all time.
