 The WAN show is theoretically live so Hooray! No I'm not sure Theoretically, yeah, frames encoded 389 That's a good thing which is good frames dropped to zero. But doesn't seem to necessarily mean much on Twitch lately yeah we had some issues a little while ago that I've had issues on my private stream too lately like you can be sending everything perfectly but it'll be like oh well some server that you're not even going to is down so you're screwed. It's like whaaaaat? yeah I have three callouts for us now so the longer you're still doing things it'll actually be more and more set up excellent thank you so if we if we start when the show is supposed to end we'll be ready hahaha alright so our online viewers oh I'm getting a lot of happy birthday shoutouts in the twitch chat thank you very oh no longer his birthday make sure you say belated hold on a second here just gonna do a thing let me see playback devices open volume mixer there we go and there it is mute that alright there we go so apparently we can hear me fine okay cool alright so it is a very special WAN show today it is the day after my birthday which is very nice of everyone to notice it's not like any of my staff did I did that's a complete lie one it's on my calendar because I manually put everyone's birthdays on my calendar because I will not remember them if I don't even like my mom my brother everyone everyone has a manual entry so I remembered because Google remembered fantastic and it's also special because today is the day of the Linus media group live meetup here at our new headquarters we've got a lot of people braving braving the Sun and the fresh air to be here with us today it's not an easy thing to do and I totally I totally get it guys so huge thanks to everyone who's here and a huge thanks as well to everyone who's tuning in over the internet because let's face it it's not always easy to hop on a plane like some of our incredible viewers did I actually had three people drop off with me today some currency from their native lands we had one gentleman from Germany we had someone from Argentina and then I had someone from I oh crap what is where is this one from that's the Argentine and that one's Norway yes there's the one so Johannes from Norway and I'm gonna butcher this Edith Edie Edie is Edith thank you and then Sebastian who actually shares his first name with my last name even the same spelling which is which is unusual so we had an incredible turnout today some people hailing from BC who drove up to you know eight plus hours we had a couple people show up at the same time from Winnipeg how they managed to time that I'm not not completely certain so pretty pretty unbelievable there guys so we've got a bunch of great topics for you today I think I've got call-outs now yep the Ashley Madison hack has got some serious updates on we'll get to that later on on the show also a research lab has accidentally created a longer lasting battery how'd they do that well the same way oh here silly putty also an accident there you go I believe they were trying to make some kind of better rubber or something Google project Sunroof which is Google's way to try to help everybody get solar panels and also popcorn time users are finally getting attacked by various companies oh that was a matter of time yeah all right let's roll that intro think it's gonna work no actually I know for a fact it isn't gonna work oh what did I just do what hold on hold on I got this I got this I got this yeah whoa I thought you said it wasn't gonna work well I sort of worked worked a little bit it is working now I want to go to the auction you know what if there's something cheap I don't like I can miss out there will be something cheap I think there's still like a Titan black or I actually did hear about that and there's like there's like only so many people that still have cash so I suspect they're taking it away for not a whole lot of it well if you can take like two dollars I think I'm good other than that I don't know so much I think we did multiples of five anyway okay so I think you're you're wrecked all right so why don't we jump right into our first topic of the day sure Google makes its own $200 wireless router on hub so the original art are you posting in the twitch chat sure okay you got this so the original article here is from the verge I'm just gonna go ahead and share that with you guys here I think I'm clicking news item nothing is happening where is my where is my window screen capture over this boom maybe just I got this I got this this show sometimes works to show must go on yes it's really not working what is happening ways let's there we go let's cover Luke with it hi get wrecked yes ah window delete there we go hub is purely just a router not a speaker or a few other things people thought it looks kind of similar it looks like it looks like it could be like the echo home interactivity device yes but it's super not doesn't work at all in Canada which we found out the hard way so here's kind of a funny story for everyone here and I guess everyone who's watching the show since everyone's kind of live at the moment I went out of my way I got myself a US address to ship it to and I bought the remote that goes with it I picked up an Amazon echo it sat on my table at home for like two weeks because I was like the way this has to be reviewed is kind of different you have to make it part of your life you can't just sit in front of it and go echo tell me about leopards well it's material quality isn't really that great I don't know it could work in your computer because you're reviewing a lifestyle product yeah so I was like Luke I do not have time for this can you do the echo he goes yeah sure that sounds right up my alley and I have a week's vacation and I was looking for something to work on from work anyway so how'd that go for you it doesn't work in Canada it literally only works in the States so what I would have to do to be able to get it to work is get a US registered mobile device and then connect to it over Wi-Fi to actually set it up the problem with that is I could I could like proxy out my router do whatever but it has to persistently be like that so I'd have to like make my router think it was in the States for like a month and that doesn't sound fun so nope and also it wouldn't be a proper fair review either because it's designed to work in the States so even if parts of it did work it wouldn't be able to properly do a lot of its functions yeah so I wouldn't be able to properly say what the experience was like so that's not gonna so we gave up welcome to one of the many stupid things that we waste our money on and that never even turned into a video because yeah we thought hey maybe we can a lot of the time we pull this off we'll take something that's not going to work and we'll just force it to work and we'll and we'll make that stuff happen but a lot of the time it just doesn't work out here's some cool news though the on hub we are definitely going to be able to do something with and in fact I believe we are going to be getting one of the earliest samples oh that's cool yeah you didn't know that no I didn't even know we were getting it because not that long ago you said we weren't doing routers anymore well the thing like a week the thing that I'm interested in about this is a couple of things number one is why Google thinks they need a router at all yeah what they believe they bring to the table other than sitting between you and all of your possible internet traffic that they can get whatever it is that they want to get out of that hopefully they're bringing some kind of a value proposition to the table so I want to find out what it is yeah and then really seem extremely apparent at first number two is I want to have a look at the performance because the only thing that jumped into my mind that they might think that they add to the table is affordable performance and $200 is still an expensive router but if they can handle full gigabit well yeah which is a service they offer to their customers then maybe there's a value to it so I definitely do want to check it out but I don't know how it also be interesting if you got it at like a cheaper cost if you signed up for their internet service at the same time I also really want to see if they have some kind of crazy Wi-Fi technology going on inside because as you guys may or may not know I'm not a huge fan of anything but the best Wi-Fi and the stuff we have here thank you for that the stuff we have here is almost as good as it gets this whole show is as good as it gets but it's not the enterprise grade version so we've got some stuff from exclaim which is a daughter company of ruckus so if we had ruckus access points which their top of the line goes for like a thousand bucks a pop you really good like they're awesome but no we're not putting like four of those in our office if we had those we probably could have handled everyone's Wi-Fi today but we're all on one mid-grade unit today because my data terminations are not done in this side of the building so I'm supposed to have one in each corner of the building sort of like it's more complicated than that but I'm supposed to have at least two at the front here that I was hoping people be able to use and I only have one that's really in range but I want to see what Google has managed to do in terms of Wi-Fi so they're saying it's got 13 antennas inside which would be used for beam forming and narrowing in on where exactly the devices are and hopefully getting better signal out of it I mean most companies just do it so poorly though that I've kind of given up on consumer-grade Wi-Fi so if Google can't turn me around on this then I guess this is it. There's a few things that I actually really like from like a family IT dude perspective so if you're the IT guy for like your immediate family and like your grandma and stuff because one of the Google on apps that you can have on your phone allows you to set up people like a friend to help you remotely so if your grandma is like my router isn't working I don't have the internet you could remotely go in you don't have to go to her house necessarily so like if if you should go visit your grandma but like if you can't for whatever reason she needs to get on the internet you can fix it first and then you can go hang out with her and the internet I think it's kind of cool being able to remotely fix things easily. Hang out with the internet? Yeah. I guess that's basically what we're doing. Do you not hang out with the internet? I hang out with the internet all the time. Exactly yeah. I never use Google hangouts for it though. There's also really easy setup and whatnot so if you've got a buddy who's looking for a router and doesn't really know network stuff and lives super far away from you you can suggest this to him maybe maybe it's good yeah we gotta find out if it's easy everyone is always promising me this network attached storage device is easy this router is easy I promise this time it's easy it's never easy no and one thing that's confusing is they're like it's easier than 123 underscore lowercase c lowercase c capital F lowercase j lowercase p lowercase x what the hell is that yeah that doesn't sound easy at all that's right from the on hub page so we are we're hoping we're hoping for that's a funny joke and Google's actually really nailed it this time yeah all right didn't have to hire a designer because they just copied the echo yeah it looks exactly like it just has like a little divoted ring on the inside I mean in their in their in their defense the echo basically just looks like that sorry no well it does look like that D-link router but I was actually thinking of logitech's ultimate ears boom so yeah it's like well ours has less mesh or something yeah that's totally different this is ours it's unique it's new it also has networking capability we changed everything again it's a slightly different cylinder okay moving on all right so here's a bit of news out of Amazon Jeff Bezos says that they will not tolerate callous management practices so this article is from USA today let's go ahead and drop the look at somebody's sponsor message something to do with weed whacking I'll go ahead and drop the the article so some of the more memorable own entire lawn with a weed wacker some of the more memorable anecdotes I know that it was done once ever instead of weekly never mind continue so here so just basically the question the article asks is can I continue to support Amazon with my money and then there are some anecdotes about you know working conditions at Amazon woman who had just lost a child in pregnancy was put on performance review for not giving her all to the company apparently emails are sent out at all hours miss the midnight email you get a text message a few minutes later asking why you haven't replied daily performance reviews are apparently standard giving opportunities the opportunity are giving employees the opportunity to chime in and tear down others anonymously so you know some of these things are kind of you know not too not too great so this was an expose a done by the New York Times I mean there's some stuff here that's like quite frankly I send out emails at all times of night in fact I have now officially sent out an email at night after hours asking for a reply at night after hours but it was for their benefit it was so that I wouldn't fire them hangouts at like 1145 it was but it was for their benefit I actually gave the employees a bit of an early crack at the garage sale items so I told them I needed to know what they wanted before we did the garage sale today so and I do send emails all times of night but I generally don't expect a reply until until the morning so Amazon founder says he doesn't recognize the company described refers to shockingly callous management practices and urges employees to contact HR or even him if any situation like that has occurred he says even if it's rare isolated our tolerance for such a lack of empathy needs to be zero so at the very least they're dealing with it internally I mean this is something that is really good for me to hear because as many of our viewers know we do a shout out to shop on Amazon at the end of almost all of our videos and we are like a major Amazon affiliate partner that's that's that's a huge huge that's been a huge helper for us over the last couple of years since we started doing it so for me to you know find out that the company that I don't know if a lot of people know this but if you're in a particularly charitable mood and you're buying something on Amazon you don't have to use our affiliate code they've also got their what's that program called yes smile yeah Amazon smile where they'll actually contribute it to smaller percentage than they give affiliates you can do both can you do both I think you do smile dot because it's smile dot and then the tag is at the end oh I'm pretty sure you can do both at any rate you know if you guys are looking for a way to contribute to a charity of your choice you can actually pick your charity and use smile to donate I think it's one or one and a half percent or something like that of your purchase value so you know they seem like pretty good guys it seemed like a safe thing for us to call out all the time you hear this stuff about valve and everybody else yeah I mean there was that big there was that big thing with valve employees sort of you know blowing the lid off of you know you think isn't as flat of a structure as you think it is and it's just a boys club and like all this kind of stuff like this this happens from every company it might be true to a certain degree I'm sure a lot of it is true to a certain degree but it's probably exaggerated when told in an interview yeah I mean you always need to get both sides of any story so okay Bitcoin could split in a debate over the currencies future but not dogecoin right yeah we gotta get hold on we gotta get our buddy with the dogecoin shirt pimpin the doge coin come on come on dogecoin is united dogecoin will never fail yes go up a little bit go up a little bit yeah there you go yeah yeah so our article here is from the BBC I love that shirt yeah it's great go it needs more doge meme on it though um so there you go remember guys physical Bitcoin coins are not actually necessarily a thing it's all digital but some people did make them for laws and you know people gathered them or something um so basically what's going down is there's two sides to Bitcoin so there's Bitcoin core the original and wait hold on a second okay so they're on the side of increasing wallet size Bitcoin XT which is a slight variation is lightweight wallets so bitcoins creator said in 2010 it would be nice to keep the blockchain files small as long as we can the eventual solution will be to not care how big it gets when I eventually implemented client only mode that won't matter much anymore but in recent months it's become clear that a small group of people have a radically different plan for Bitcoin and that's Bitcoin XT I mean what if people couldn't run Bitcoin on their home computers anymore so some of the changes that they want our networks of payment routing hubs or something along those lines a sharp rise in fees they want to end support for mobile p2p wallets and give up on unconfirmed transactions so it's unknown if people would migrate I mean I think the whole digital currency thing continues to be what it is it's unproven until except for a doge coin proven except for a doge coin in which we all trust yes the limit of the current system will allegedly be reached by 27 so we've still got a year plus to figure out how this is all going to go down but you know I guess the thing that I don't really see as any different really here is it's yet another competing cryptocurrency yeah so there you go and they're all failing and honestly Bitcoin hasn't really been doing that great lately either so I mean it had to settle down the gold rush couldn't go on forever but if I kind of hoped that it would ride long enough that people would actually care like because there's a problem with it's hard to spend in a lot of different places like someone here was like why don't you accept Bitcoin I was like well because it would have taken a little bit to set up because none of us have wallets except for me and you don't want them to give me money I wish you did but doesn't work like that at companies well it's also complicated because then that would be personal income to you yeah which then well we could set you up a wallet it wouldn't be that hard but then like there's gonna be like two people that use it and then you guys have to convert it if you take a while to convert it and it falls then it's worth less money and then I mean it's one of those things we've meant to kind of do forever but it's just easier to not I mean honestly I I hashtag got wrecked by the Bitcoin gold rush because back when I was working at NCIX like I had access to even though I didn't really like have my own building to store it in and it wasn't like all like mine sort of but I had access to all kinds of awesome gear like back when bitcoins were pretty easy to mine and it was just taking off and I actually went and I set up a mining rig and I was just like hey well I could set it up at the office and we'll make like a tech tips about it and I'll just get my boss's permission so I literally wouldn't have been paying for hardware wouldn't have been paying for electricity even and could have mind myself a whacked on a bitcoins because I had probably a dozen to two dozen graphics cards and test benches to match could have just filled that crap up like before people started you know covering walls in their garages with Bitcoin mining rigs and I like I like got like a bad stick of RAM in the test bench or something and like it something something and I just got lazy now like ask her it would have been huge because he's right it was it was right before the first big boom where jumped up to like what was it 250 bucks or something so they were still worth almost nothing and mining them you got a ton back then yeah he would have got like I could have probably made tens and tens of thousands of dollars like actually so I don't reject Bitcoin because I'm bitter though but I am a little bitter it's just not why I don't bother with it I don't bother with it for the same reasons that I never bothered with it I'm just clearly short-sighted it's cool it's just yeah I think cryptocurrency will totally be a thing at some point I just think it's not right now yeah I mean the good news is that some more forward-thinking companies are at least trying to adapt their laws to account for it others are just completely ignoring it we'll see how that goes for them but yeah so let's move on to our next topic I guess oh poor poor twitch chat I am ignoring them even more than usual everyone's posting salt emojis it's cuz you're oh me it makes a ton of sense yes it does thanks for that twitch chat every single time I'm like you know I haven't been paying enough attention to twitch chat let's give twitch chat some love they make me regret it every time every time all right so I'm just gonna post our I got this one oh did you do it already sitting right there you were ready the one time I'm ready research lab goof results in four times longer lithium ion battery working life so some scientists at Tsinghua University in Beijing and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston have been working on techniques to extend the working life of lithium ion batteries now to be clear this particular research is not to make your phone last for you know three or four days this particular technology is to make the battery last for enough recharge cycles that you can keep it for longer than a couple of years so this is cool because basically what happened is they were working on making the anodes of the battery more durable because that's the part that decays the fastest and that's why after a few hundred charge cycles you see a really sharp drop-off and all of a sudden you know it's two o'clock and you're at you know 40% battery life that's why that happens oh and there's a train rude so rude thank you thank you sounds like thank you which we can hear you everything is good oh this was for you I was supposed to throw it at you oh no this is mine yeah okay yeah that was yeah you armed us both that's weird all right so basically a batch of anodes was left under chemical treatment for several hours more than they should have completely by accident and remember guys when you're doing lab work you're often working with chemicals and like engineering like pre-engineering sample grade hardware that is unbelievably expensive to produce I mean you guys have no idea even something as simple and stupid as a computer case and I don't mean computer cases are stupid I mean they're made of materials we basically understand you got a plastic bezel you got your steel chassis you fold it up pretty much right I mean we're not talking we want the battery to last for four times longer we're gonna completely re-engineer a new a new compound so the stuff they're working with is expensive to add to screw up a batch could cost hundreds or maybe thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars depending on what they're working on so instead of throwing them away you know someone probably got a slap on the wrist but they decided to test them and the results were great four times more durable than the current best available technology so they've been working on using aluminum in preference to graphite it expands and contracts more so in effect these cells let me get this right they can't just fold the metal fold the metal no no this is not a computer case okay I just need to make sure they can just fold the middle to be very clear they can't just injection mold the plastic and then fold the metal and then fold the metal on the other side all right cool so basically by soaking it in sulfuric acid and titanium oxysulfate which replaces the aluminum oxide from the aluminum being exposed I don't know if you guys know this aluminum rust is white and it oxidizes almost immediately that's why most people don't even know that aluminum rusts if you polish it and clear coat it you can actually make a very efficient mirror out of aluminum very interesting stupid fact that no one cares about but the reason it always looks like rubbish is because it oxidizes almost immediately just from being exposed to open air so pretty much it's uh it has a much more conductive titanium oxide coating effectively now which provided exactly the desired results completely by accident very very cool epic awesome stuff that guy instead of getting fired got a promotion alright I'm fired and then a promotion they'll be awesome well you've been fired lots of times I'm sure I promoted you at some point yep now we have a pretty flat I know from first-hand experience that it's awesome it's awesome ah so LG's new Nexus 5 has leaked I guess Google has heard our cries about the Nexus 6 not being a Nexus 5 wait what's the stupid thing called is it even called the Nexus 6 I don't know that that phone that I didn't care about that I reviewed yeah it is the Nexus 6 right the one that was too big their numbers are just bad and they should probably feel bad yeah it's fine they should just call it I don't even I don't even know what they would call it because you anyway the point is they hurt us we don't all want a huge phone some of us have tiny hands some of us don't um to be fair though I don't even like phones that are that huge I what is what is let me see like my g3 which is not on me because it's charging is like borderline too large not because I don't like the big screen but because most of the time I'm just typing on it anyway he means e3 and yes see three sorry neither of us are you said g3 which is a phone that I did have at one point and I don't anymore I the g2 yeah anyways and being able to type on it with one hand is helpful I can do that with the z3 but it's easier on a slightly smaller so there you go a tweet from our our main man over at MKBHD I mean can we really say he's at MKBHD he is on Twitter but do you really do you really work at MKBHD isn't that his thing now he's like he's one guy though doesn't but yeah but doesn't he run MKBHD is not actually yeah yeah yeah so he's so Marcus from MKBHD sure one of the guy yeah Marcus the one so basically it looks like it's gonna have a camera bump it looks like it's gonna say Nexus on the back I hope they remove this not for sale printing that's really an eyesore yeah I like it you like it because you know what my phone isn't for sale I don't want you to have my personal information I don't want you to buy my phone I don't know if I put my phone down like Starbucks I don't want someone to be like yo can I buy it yeah but I don't think Google's we're gonna be down with that because everything on your phone it's ours good point all right all right maybe they don't want me to sell it because they want to keep harvesting maybe that's what's special about it just for Marques he was like it's the it's the whole review the new Nexus 5 but you can't have my data I want it right on the phone not for sale this is only mine speaking of not for sale spots on our show our first sale if you're Squarespace yeah build a beautiful yes thank you that is their slogan for the last time okay I have to make sure that every single person that ever watches a WAN show knows I should just say it as the opening line now of the way like hey it's gonna be a good show it'll be like build a beautiful so when Squarespace isn't even a sponsor you're just gonna go and do it okay so Squarespace if you guys are watching and I'm pretty sure you are our Squarespace contact legit watches the show which I discovered when we had that phenomenally embarrassing situation where Luke told me his mom's site was hosted on Squarespace so we had the entire WAN show audience hit it all at the same time it goes down and it's hosted on like dog hosting or some stupid thing and it's down and I'm like you have got I don't care whatever it is it's some kind of animal that doesn't work hard enough so super unhappy and they were watching and I was like no you got to be kidding me so Squarespace if you're watching can you get a new slogan maybe just for us so he can shut up with the build it beautiful thing they should make it build it more beautiful but that so I mean that is it in a nutshell Squarespace build it beautiful they're all about people making beautiful websites and putting them on the internet with their tools and their website hosting it comes in affordable plans all the way up to pretty darn beefy plans you pick from one of their templates you can make a blog you can make you know portfolio you can make oh I don't know an informational site about you know your company like lens media group calm where all these people found our address presumably to come and hang out with us at this live meetup also there was a link in the forum which is not a Squarespace site because they don't have a form template but that's a whole other thing and the link wasn't broken you weren't signed in BAM so pretty much that's all there is to it Squarespace.com make an awesome website that runs great on your computer your phone whatever else and if you use offer code Linus on your first purchase you will save 10% and iFixit is not a new sponsor today but they do can you be my Vanna oh yes he lives for the moment so you can be my Vanna okay so use offer code when to save $10 off a purchase that iFixit.com they have all kinds of great guides for disassembling and reassembling and fixing phones and tablets and computers and laptops which are technically computers and also phones and tablets are technically computers too i mean anything that computes is a computer your computer, aww what a moment so this is their all new small business like tool box thing so it's got their screwdriver set which is kind of like if you've ever if you got the ProTek toolkit which is also in here and I'll show you guys that later then you'll probably have noticed that you can stick a thing through the hole you know what I mean and twist it that way but sometimes you can't get enough torque so these ones are all are all rubber coated so they're a little bit better if you know you need a little bit more torque action there go ahead and what else we got in here they told me to familiarize myself with this kit before we started I didn't so here we go um we have an anti-static wrist strap as well as a safe anti-static mat that check this out so your wrist strap actually clips right in there so you got a safe workstation no tech toolkit is complete without a multimeter so you want to i mean we've used this stuff we've used stuff like this for even the most mundane thing like you don't have to be an electrical engineer to need a multimeter like EVGA had a like a kingpin graphics card that we were over clocking and you're like are these voltage adjustments even working are we even running the right bios for this dude bought it that graphics card someone bought it today we sold it today nice yeah alright so we were able to use the multimeter to validate that we got the l and 2 bios on correctly and that the voltage was actually adjusting so that's cool what the devil is this called an eye-opener I actually don't know I know you're supposed to heat it up yes assuming it melts like glue yes so these are fantastic you heat it up and then if you've got like an adhesive behind it something behind a screen or whatever it gets hot enough to melt the adhesive and make it easier to remove but not so hot that like you're pointing a heat gun at your device and probably cooking it this the pro tech toolkit has every bit under the Sun your tri-wings your security torques is your your triangle bits you can take apart pretty much anything with this puppy we've got the screen and cleaner yes I love this puppy the magnetic project Matt we've already shown this before because this is the one that I used when I did the iMac disassembly because there were like friggin 1620 different types of screws in there so it comes with a pen with an eraser you write what all the stuff you have on they put the screws on and it's magnetic what else is in here they have everything in here suction cups for pulling screens off of the heavy screens off of things without dropping them or like slicing yourself open repair manifesto oh that's cute okay well that's more of a swag item cleaning cloth other more rugged microfiber cleaning cloth like a textured one and a non textured one a puff thing for sticking in your eye and drying it out whatever you need your eyes to be dry because you cry too much or for dusting things you know whatever cleaning brush as well as one of their handy dandy you know slice the adhesive that's between the thing that you can't get at more prying tools extras for the ones that come in the protect tool kit how many friggin things are in here a bunch of opening picks they're kind of like guitar picks but special for opening more pry tools more pry tools more pry tools ah they're plastic cards next time you don't want to ruin your debit card or your gym membership prying something open they have special prying cards for that are we done seriously okay someone has to take this home today an iron on hand with a wrench repair person badge first one to say Luke's last name there you are get on up here you're a certified repairman now or woman you have long hair I couldn't tell no I'm scared hey hey ladies can have a beard too and that's okay yeah yeah I don't know I was reading some article some actress was upset by Hollywood Beauty standards you know I really did wax her mustache yeah and then I was I was brought it up in some conversation like you know it's obvious to not because there's a beard my mom was like I shaved I was like oh there you go make sense today you learned yeah next up actually yeah I started recommending dollar shape club alright we got Google's project Sun roof so you want to cover this one I'm so excited by this this is so cool okay so what Google's planning to do they're doing it in three different cities right now I don't remember what one so GG but there's not Vancouver unfortunately no yes they're only in the states the idea is that they're using data from Google Maps to figure out basically what the Sun value is of your house I just came up with that word so basically how much of your roof will get Sun for how long and how much power and money that will save you if you get solar panels installed so you can figure out things like should you get solar panels installed it'll also help you figure out how much that will cost so it can survey companies in your area and it can actually recommend ones to you tell you how much it will cost to install tell you how long it's going to be until you've paid off your investment tons of stuff so basically the idea is taking a lot of the confusion out of getting solar panels installed on your house and making it a lot easier in terms of barrier of entry for people making it make a lot more sense so it does all the hardcore math for you and it solves all the complicated problems which I think is great because solar panels are cool if we get the strata to accept it I really want to put solar panels on our roof so we have to get the strata yeah strata is gonna have to be down for it I'm really not sure how that works we're new to this don't really and we just did this so I don't know how many good books we're in right now I have no idea how many emails we we took kind of an ask forgiveness not permission approach to the meetup today so for those of you who weren't here live who are watching we had probably as many as probably about 300 people here at one point like it was bananas you guys think more than 300 okay well we had a ton of people like we had a lineup for the garage sale down the block we had a line up for tours of the office which we are going to continue to do after the show today that was down to the lineup for the garage sale yeah um so we have no idea how stoked they are on us fortunately we've already got the stratas approval for my big Linus media group sign that's gonna be going on the front of the building I picked up the permit for that on you a permit for that yeah yesterday I picked up that no we had we got to the city permit too oh my goodness yeah we had to get approval from the strata then we had to get a permit that can make sense because you could fall off the building yeah like strata is so frustrating but like I mean fortunately they wouldn't let us cover the windows we need to cover the windows like lighting they said that we have to get approval they didn't say no they just said that we have to bring it up at a meeting okay the fact that you have to bring it up on a meeting to book covers inside your own building is the good news is that we're occupying three of the eight units in this building which gives us an awful lot of votes that's helpful yeah that's pretty good we just gotta make sure we don't piss off literally everyone we might have just done so um so let's go ahead and yes awesome thank you so much I have been talking so much today and those you that's awesome I know this man sorry keep going so it's finally happened an actual fashion watch brand has gotten around to doing a smartwatch fossil unveils its Intel powered Android wear watch flat tire display in the toe so let's so these are just some these are just some not not actually Android wear these are typical fossil watches all right bippity boppity there it is so I yeah it kind of looks like a moto 360 super looks like a motor 360 yeah well I said kind of because I'm a generous person I'm not yeah so basically it's it's kind of shinier also it has like beveling and hopefully the battery last longer I mean the thing about a watch it's Android is that there's really not a whole lot you can do with with Android wear yeah you can go square or you can go round because like saying watch in general is not really for you can have a lot you can do with a mechanical you can have a rubber strap or like a leather one or like maybe it could come with two straps and you could change them out so I mean I get it it's not really that different so they also showed off some stuff some other stuff a fitness band a semi smartwatch and then the fully fledged smartwatch I think the technology has to has to continue to progress a little bit I mean Samsung and LG are both showing off transparent OLED displays that are capable of in the neighborhood of 50% plus or minus transparency I mean I think that's when you're going to capture a lot of people when you can put a really thin transparent display over top of what is otherwise a beautifully crafted mechanical watch that's when you're going to get a lot of attention and I know there's that one company that's done it that everyone always links us when we say this every time and they're like not good just just not you're not feeling charitable no but it's true I don't know like I'm feeling charitable because Google's sunroof thing is fantastic I'm not feeling charitable because that watch is trash I like it is though look at everyone that buys one is like yeah this thing is terrible yeah I wish I didn't waste my money so I don't want to help other people waste their money fair enough doesn't seem like it's not really what we do no so there you go there's no word on the hardware inside the Android smartwatch from fossil the battery life pricing or the release timeframe one thing that I will say is if they don't have an always on display it's getting a negative review from me if it gets one at all it might just get a mention on Wanshow hey what if it's screwed up yet another one what if it's one of the transparent ones and the screen is off unless you do I'm okay with that yeah I'm totally okay with that um I mean for me the big thing is just I want to be able to see and I know I made that awful joke in my Apple watch review which ended up even more awkward because of Ed's editing on that that was just that was pretty cringe right there but it is a perfectly valid point the time when I realized that motion gestures were ridiculous was when I was laying on my back and my son was playing a game with me like he was going for a daddy ride and I was like I wonder what time it is and I was using the Apple watch and I couldn't look up the time because you have to be upright and do it like this like this repeat after me like this to see the time no it's ridiculous it's that motion reminded me of that super old-school Apple like 1984 commercial when they're walking through and they're all watching the screen and stuff they're becoming what they hated so that's what I need to see and that's pretty much all there is to it now I'd like to do something a little bit special and I'm actually gonna kick Luke off the show for a bit here normally we do well not quite no no don't go anywhere okay okay I don't know don't sit down either okay so normally when we want to get like questions or comments from the audience we take to Twitter but the audience is here so I would like for Luke to be my doorman here and if anyone would like to come and do a live Twitter blitz and we'll get over here don't be shy don't put up your hand like some kind of polite person what do you think this is Canada we have one candidate come here yeah come on come on come on in so what what do you got all right so Linus what was it like to invent Linux what it was it like to invent Linux well gee get out of here for one thing and thank you for your question I did not invent Linux common misconception especially yeah you're wearing a tech syndicate shirt did he send you um so common misconception especially on our reddit slash r slash PC master race where it's like there's I have my own tag and people are like every time there's like one without votes it's like I came here expecting the other Linus I was disappointed I'm sorry I can't be him I just make YouTube videos anyone else come on don't be shy guys make a line don't put up your hand so you moved first all right what do you got live Twitter blitz hello hello um Linus yes what about your company I'm listening what about your company do you like the most and what do you like the least all right thank you okay you could go um the thing I like the most is working with a team of people that I hand-picked it's really it it is the reason yeah let's just get the people yeah thank you Luke it's it's really different from working somewhere where you know your new subordinate or your new peer or your new boss might be selected by someone else and you know I'm not saying that my years at NCIX were bad in any way I learned so much and I'm incredibly grateful to everyone from the president of the company up there who by the end of my time at NCIX I reported to directly I'm grateful to everyone from him down to you know the guys in the warehouse that made sure that my orders got counted correctly and labeled correctly and shipped to other customers on time like it was such an amazing learning experience but Linus Media Group the greatest thing about it is the people here every one of them is hand-picked by me so I have no one to blame but myself if it doesn't work out and we have an incredible team here absolutely world-class I mean I think the results speak for themselves since Linus Tech Tips has gone indie and is under the banner of Linus Media Group our growth has gone like this so yeah that's what I love about Linus Media Group I think the worst thing about it is the can I help you they're great other than throwing things at me I mean that's another great thing about it we have a really great work dynamic you know people I see a lot of I see a lot of comments like Linus is the worst boss ever he's such a jerk he's such a troll you guys got to understand I get that back from these guys this is the kind of company where you can legitimately shoot your boss with a nerf gun in the head and it's cool don't go get a gun right now the worst thing about it I think is probably the hours I thought that compared to my job as a product manager it couldn't get any worse but it is worse I mean I a lot of people think YouTube's easy and you just like stand in front of a camera for 10 minutes and then you just throw it up on the internet send it used to be easy out of necessity that's why I did unboxings because they were easy and I could just I could I could do an unboxing in one take no problem a lot of the time not always sometimes I broke things or whatever but but the point is is that because we've tried to really amp up what we're doing in every possible way every additional body that we add here is all about increasing quality making what we're doing more and better so the hardest part is how much work it is all right what's your name my name is Daniel two years ago you guys were working out of a house meet alias media group just got started and now you're here what do you see year two maybe three in the future wow it's a it's a great question and go away as a great question and it's one that unfortunately I don't have a crystal ball that is amazing enough to answer because if you had asked me two and a half years ago when we started this when we were working out of the garage at my house if you'd asked me where I saw Linus media group two and a half years from now well actually no I didn't even think about that I thought about five years and five years when it was just three of us it was me Luke and Ed and if you asked me five years I would have said well I mean five maybe six people and like you know we'll do better unboxings and we'll have like more channels we'll kind of do unboxings of tech and then maybe we'll do like unboxings of like tools or cars or other things like we'll have like the unboxing network that would have been my vision here we are two and a half years in we have either ten or eleven people we're in an actual studio we don't do unboxings anymore really and our new channels are things like channel super fun where we're pitting dildos against each other one one against one it's a race to the finish line like I who can predict that stuff truth no too late truth is stranger than fiction sometimes and if you'd asked me when we moved into the the house studio I'd have told you that was easily gonna last us five years we made it for two and that place was bursting at the seams today Andrew all right Andrew what's your question how would you compare the the work style at the old house office compared to your new office so thank you go away and I don't mean go away you can stay close enough to hear the answer no Andrew come back no I mean that no don't sit down right there's fine so the workflow is not yet established here we're I'm gonna have a video coming really soon about the way that we're gonna handle footage and transcoding it and people who went on the tour with me might know a little bit about this the workflow in terms of shooting is gonna be wet way tidier much much tidier I don't understand oh free shirt I'm looking over here it's going over there oh am I doing more spectators ah um so the main thing I expect in the new workflow is organization because in the past we had one place where like sometimes I was actually testing hardware and then I was filming like the main video and then I'd have to get my crap out of there and Brandon had to move his cameras in and shoot b-roll there was just no room for anything so we're gonna actually have things go from inventory with a real system for tracking that to testing to shooting to b-roll and then back to inventory I expect organization that's the biggest difference awesome all right next sup welcome to the wind show thank you hi everybody my name is Maxwell about a month and a half ago you guys got to about 8600 viewers and you're like oh my god we're almost over 9000 and then you guys said well this is gonna be a great idea like how about we have a huge surprise show when we get over 9000 viewers and then you guys ended up getting to like 10k a couple of weeks ago and I didn't find out what the idea was that I've been waiting for so what was the great idea for over 9000 viewers on a land show I don't know hey Luke did we ever figure out what we were gonna do for overnight yes we this before we came in so I was wondering if you knew no I don't remember we apparently said that I don't remember saying it at all yeah apparently said that and I have no hold on maybe do we have any no we totally forgot thank you for asking we can do it I think I might know but but it might have been it okay I'll just tell you it might have been like blonde spiky wigs like super sand yes I think that might have been the idea but I'm not sure okay so sorry we failed you that's all right all right who's next no I really I don't know if I ever expected it to happen but when shows kind of been like that like the first time we broke a thousand viewers that's like whoa and now we're sitting at 8900 for a Twitter blitz well sort of Twitter are you even on Twitter barely there you go all right what's up um I was wondering which of your employees you think works the hardest Wow me that's pretty good that's all could be Brandon could be Brandon could be could be Luke could be Nick you know what everyone here works really hard if they didn't they wouldn't last period we had one guy who lasted like two weeks and he fell asleep at work once and stuff and so our culture is one of work extremely hard play extremely hard but everyone here works incredibly hard who's next so Linus when's the next meetup happening wow great question um so the last time I did a formal meetup I think was the last time I did a formal like an actually formal meetup I think was an NCIX event where we had three projectors 3d projectors running in Nvidia surround powered by a couple of GTX 590s that was BA and I only probably had like 30 people show up for that so I kind of gave up on them oh Kingston HyperX paintball was sort of a meetup but it was also yeah the guys that were there were awesome it was also like a shoot and so the people that came had to like be in a video and stuff so okay I had forgotten about that one because that day was a freaking blur I was coordinating a meetup like starring in the video and coordinating the video shoot all in one day like it was bananas yeah yes I did not intend for shoot to be a pun but I'm glad it happened did I do one at PAX 2013 oh okay that was like the photo booth thing I wouldn't call that a formal meetup just like yeah just get the one lesson across Canada yeah we need to we totally need a WAN bus yeah as long as we don't accidentally put a G on the end then the way yeah okay what do you got where do you see Linus Tech Tips in five years where do I see okay great question go away and let's get the next one right in there let's get these going quick so Linus Tech Tips in five years I don't even know about five years but I'll do two years okay so YouTube I have seen many YouTube personalities come and go throughout my like I've never really done the explosive exponential growth thing but I've also never leveled off it's always been like a slow and steady wins the race and I've I've seen a lot of guys that I used to look up to and wonder how I could ever be as big as them I've I've seen a lot of those guys fall behind in terms of their their YouTube audience anyway um and I think there are a lot of different reasons it's happened you know YouTube has changed the audience has changed the technology has changed everything is always changing and the old formula is not going to work forever and that is why even though it was a huge risk we killed on boxings we stopped doing unboxings that was our bread and butter it was the single most viewed and therefore profitable thing that we did as a company and here I was I took this enormous leap of faith I was like okay I'm tired of this that means the audience must be tired of it if I'm tired of it so let's let's do it let's kill it all we do now is reviews and projects and and showcases so so we killed on boxing we switched to almost entirely reviews at that time we are actually in the middle of yet another reinvention right now some of you might have noticed we are going to be gradually we're still going to do reviews but we are gradually making it not all about the reviews I see him I have a preview of the video right in front of me we are we are gradually moving away from just review to more projects and like crazy over the top you know showcases and stuff and more of making Linus tech tips like this this is like the dream for me making Linus tech tips a show about technology rather than a technology unboxing or review show so I don't want it to live within the confines of this is what we do I want us to just do whatever it is and I want people to watch it and enjoy it and that is why I have expanded our staff and grown the company the way that I have because if it was still just me or just me and a camera person something like scrapyard wars is impossible because that takes a big crew of people to make happen it takes an enormous amount of time stuff like new office vlog which kind of accidentally turned into kind of a reality show that that everyone loved would have been impossible stuff like Luke wants to do where we DIY solar panels on the roof of the office would be impossible if we didn't have our own paid crack camera crew on staff in the office every day so you know it's it's it's so cliched but I really want Linus tech tips to be a technology show the same way that top gear is a car show it's not a car show it's just a show it's well not anymore it's anything but but but what it was was an entertaining show with great personalities and the cars were happy to be along for the ride so that's what I want this to be and I think that the group that we've built here and the though the workflow that we've built here will enable us to do that and that's what I want Linus tech tips to be what can I do for you Linus why there are no fire poles in the new place? there are no fire poles because it was hard enough to get our safety inspection passed with a handrail on that stupid staircase let alone a fire pole on the outside of it so what's your favorite series that you have ever done? my personal favorite great question um wow my personal favorite it's got to be scrapyard wars it's a lot of fun to shoot it's a lot of fun to watch like even though because I'm in a lot of our videos duh but scrapyard wars is so fun for me to watch because it's like it's like the highlight reel of that enormous amount of time that I spent on it for me and I get to enjoy the struggle and the triumph that's going on opposite me that I'm completely oblivious to the whole time so it's a lot of fun for me to watch what would you have done if Darren died? Darren? who's Darren specifically I know a lot of no oh Darren the 3d printer well Darren did die fortunately Luke resurrected him so we're changing his name to Lazarus Lafreniere and wait no Darren were changing to Lazarus Luke's name were changing to something hopefully unoffensive so let's just move on from that question what can I do for you my shirt in the little time that you get to have nothing considerate a little free time that you get to have what is your favorite thing to do I have very little time for anything in the little time that I have my kids are the light of my life so yeah my kids are awesome that's that's what I do when I'm not here and sometimes I eat how are you today I am fantastic thank you for asking my question is about ant venom actually really what were your thoughts on when he said he was gonna come and then his flight being canceled I was super bummed out because ant venom is like such an amazing Linus tech tips fan I don't know if you guys know ant venom's got like two million bazillion subscribers on YouTube big deal he was going to show up and I was like wow that would be super cool to have like other huge content creators show up at our fan event as like a huge bonus for the people here and just for me to shoot the breeze with because I living in Vancouver there's not a lot of huge youtubers here and huge streamers here it's it's it's a pretty desolate place there are a couple but like if I wanted yeah if I want to like hang out with guys that are better absolutely huge and guys that are like totally in my head space and venom is one of the few that exists out there and what I mean by totally in my head space is it's funny because gamers and like it techno files they're kind of like they're like the Venn diagram right like there's the overlap but a lot of time the guys building the beast gaming rigs are not actually hardcore gamers like me and the guys that are the hardcore gamers are not that tech savvy they just buy a pre-built machine and it's done right so and venom actually took our whole room water cooling concept amped it up a notch and has his gaming machine on a separate floor of his house with his radiator in the basement but he did it up right he took everything we learned every mistake we made and he published a video on his gaming centric channel of his recreation of whole room water cooling which works it actually gets the heat out of the room successfully because he didn't use a huge array of copper tubing to it he's just got a nice short run right through the floor he used a plastic reservoir a lesson that we learned about anti corrosive additives and how they don't always work so his video is badass I was hoping for him to be here and hang out on the WAN show but hey the effort totally counts and and we're sorry you couldn't be here all right you're up so how scary was it to take a chance and start your own business doing what you do it was mortifying I mean this is something I'm I'm not sure if I've talked about before but Linus Media Group almost completely ran out of money four months in so I don't know if you guys are super business savvy but the way that it works is even if you have a sponsor like Intel or whoever especially a big sponsor they don't expect to prepay for things so they expect to reach an agreement sign a contract like okay we're gonna have you mention our product in the first 30 seconds of your video 10 times in the month of you know February and then once you've executed the contract they expect what's called net terms so that is they pay after completion that gives them time to process it in accounting and get you know the necessary signatures and all that stuff and I get it but it means that even though Linus Media Group was working hard to obtain sponsors and and all that stuff all without selling out I mean that's the thing is sell it is a word that gets thrown around a lot but it has a meaning that people don't understand sell out doesn't mean you make money we make money but sell out means making money by compromising your values so we have never taken money from blue to review this microphone that will not happen we can take money from blue to put their microphone in front of our camera while we host the WAN show that is sponsorship that is a product placement that is completely separate we will give a bad review to a sponsor if they submit a product to us for a review we have to keep our content which has no value to our viewers and therefore no value to a future sponsor I mean even if I was a terrible person I can't sell out on a product review because I have to be smart enough to know that if my audience can be in 10 years from now my audience could be 10 times the size then I should be able to get 10 times the sponsors but my audience isn't going to grow if I give you people bad advice about technology and tell you the wrong thing even if I was a terrible money money is the only important thing to me person I still wouldn't do it so we had to even though we ran out and we got sponsors you know it's harder if you're not willing to sell out because you have to be like look this guarantees you no special treatment nothing you get nothing other than the advertising spot that we promised that's what you get that's it so we did it anyway it was hard work but we did it but I still had to wait anywhere from 30 to 120 days for my first paychecks aside from things like YouTube which roll in monthly but but isn't as much as you'd think and I and I and I took a risk Luke and Ed both took a risk too they dropped out of their programs in school because I promised that I would get the money to pay them and support them and we'd make a real company out of this thing so they both went for it and I went for it and in April of the first year of lines media group we almost completely ran out of money like out like done like we were down to double digits in the account I didn't have another payroll and then the check started arriving so it was down to the wire for us it was terrifying the good news about what we were doing is at least I had a lot of industry connections and that's another I mentioned this early on the show but I'll always be thankful for my time at NCIX for all the things I learned and I should have mentioned this all the amazing people I met many of whom like you know I really hope I don't miss anyone here but guys like Rick from Corsair that was of course there was our first the first ones that ever wrote Linus media group incorporated a check was Corsair and and those guys those guys very special relationship that doesn't mean I won't give them a negative review or whatever guys like fractal design we're on board very early on Josh from fractal huge buddies you know it doesn't mean I won't rip on their products if they suck so those those early those early guys really helped us pull through what can I do for you what are you planning to print with your 3d printer that's actually practical okay the first practical thing you'll see printed is a shroud for our new router that is going to handle our new gigabit internet connection and it needs a cooling shroud because I built using standard components in a 1u case and we couldn't find a way to cool the CPU very well without that shroud which we hope works but we don't know yet hi my sunglasses we're sunglasses buddies thank you is there anything you regret about getting your own company with Linus media group and going out on your own rather than through NCIS um wow good question is there anything I regret I mean this ties really closely into the what do I like what do I not like question I mean I wish I didn't have to work so hard but like the fact that I get to I get to roll into my like parking spot that says Linus media group employees only and then I get to go inside and like hang out with Luke and Ed and Brandon and Taryn and Nick and other Nick and Colton and I'm gonna forget someone crap John yes thank you who else am I missing I'm sure I'm a Dennis and Dennis I think I got everyone I mean it's amazing it's like the best job ever like you will not I will sometimes post pictures in the middle of the night of like me still working on something at 3 a.m. I'm not looking for your pity I'm just saying this is what I'm up to because I have the best job on earth it's awesome so yeah well I have the best job on earth I don't speak for Ed it may not be the best paying he has a pretty cool job what's that all right I got a serious question okay all right so about a year ago you had a guest host on Dotto Dotto for the last even Dotto on data yeah yeah and I was wondering if there is anyone else like that that was like a huge source of inspiration you know what actually that's a great that's a great question because this Sunday I am going down to chill with one of my main inspirations when I was starting up on YouTube Chris Perillo also known as locker gnome is going to be hosting an event called vlogger fair this weekend in Seattle so I will be on a panel down there on Sunday so I'll be doing two meetups within like three days just kind of amazing so I'll be down there just on the Sunday and hanging out with Chris and hope he's gonna be super busy so hopefully I get some of his time but there's gonna be some other guys there I think Barnacles and Jays two cents are showing up they're both they're both based in that area um yeah no Chris was a huge inspiration for me because he was like pardon my French he was like the shit when it came to tech on YouTube when I was first getting started no one no one could touch that guy and I didn't really follow the phone guys like your John Rattinger's and your soldier knows best and like I didn't really follow that stuff so when it came to like computer tech it was him so yeah I've learned a lot from from Chris over the years we've we've hung out a few times whether it's at an airport on our way back from that AMD Hawaii event or whatever else and yeah he's a huge inspiration for me hi do you see Linus media group opening up more YouTube channels in the future yes let's play no let's plays probably I think it's a very crowded space I think there's a lot of let's players out there that do a great job thank you but and if anything I think I would be surprised if it's tech related I think between Linus tech tips and tech quickie we can handle you know your shows and your reviews and we can handle your rapid-fire information basically like repository of facts about crap to do with tech and I think channel super fun has been a really amazing in terms of the growth that we've experienced and be really fun for us to make and so I think our next project which may be sooner rather than later because channel super fun is as big now as tech quickie was when we started super fun so it may be sooner rather than later but I think I'd be surprised if it's tech related at all maybe sketch comedy I think we've got a lot of really great characters here you know maybe something to do with toys which is what channel super fun was supposed to be and completely ended up not becoming at all is anyone else coming in for live Twitter blitz okay Luke come on back on to the show what's your favorite color mine's red you don't even you made that up on the spot okay this is a little known fact because I'm always on about pink my favorite color is actually green so there you go um should we do a cut oh we got to do the Ashley Madison topic so more details on the Ashley Madison hack so those of you who aren't familiar Ashley Madison comm is in is like a cheating site for married people and they they were threatened they said look we hacked into you we got all your user data including credit card you and they were you can hack into me anytime although I prefer if you didn't hack gentle this time yes okay um we learned the first time around that's not how you do that you got to work into it so the hack is not only real it's worse than we thought the details are everywhere they basically said look if you don't pull down your site we're going to leak all the data which included credit card information now to be clear if you want to check on your significant other or whatever the fact that they have an account is actually not meaningful I have an Ashley Madison account as soon as we started reporting on the Ashley Madison thing someone signed my email address up for an Ashley Madison account I've heard I have one but I haven't seen the thing I started getting newsletters I was like do people not do email verification apparently not so that's a cool thing because it means that there aren't necessarily 30 million cheats out there because anyone even someone who has no idea they have an account can apparently have an account but they also leaked credit card information so if you want to actually use the site you need a credit card so if your credit card numbers in there you used to be site yes so it's taking a lot longer than we originally expected to find all the people that were actually using the website but it is starting to happen like basically person by person it's being leaked like the first tip off was when like B.O.Bama at whatever.gov was registered I was like that's not a thing no at all no that's like there was a lot of that so yeah he's in there for the same reason that my personal hotmail account which was leaked like three years ago and I never touch except for certain things like my Ashley Madison account so that account I logged into it at some point and realized I had I think it was either 30 or 60 it was some multiple of three thousand like daily Bible verse newsletters sitting in it that's like you gotta be kidding me so someone I think there are sites where you can email account oh I've had that email since high school yeah no not daily but sixty thousand emails from the ones coming in daily yeah yeah total and hotmail's filter can only like do so many at a time so when I'd search for keywords and it's not as good as Gmail's filter like like it's not as granular in terms of what you can block so I could only block by like specific email address so if it's like info at lighthouse media that's different from news at lighthouse media which is different from admin at lighthouse media and then it takes like 10 minutes to go through all thousand of them because it can only do a page at a time like no I just want to get rid of them all it's like there couldn't be like why did you even need to use that email um oh I use it as like my password recovery for certain things cuz cuz actually did a dig through and find something hotmail has pretty sick two-step yeah so my hotmail account this is an interesting behind the scenes story my hotmail account was what saved my all of my other accounts when my youtube channel got hijacked a few years ago so they didn't get my hotmail account and that the notifications that I was getting as they were trying to get in was what alerted me to the need to change all my other passwords so they went for the hotmail account early and got locked out of everything else so that's why I like my hotmail account yeah yeah also there's a few like people who only know how to reach me there I've had it for like 15 years so okay it's one of those things and that's a tip is to link your emails to a certain degree yeah it's actually a really good idea um so basically there's 10 gigs of Ashley Madison info out there it's pretty easy to find and they dumped another 20 gigs onto the dark web in addition to the earlier 10 gigs for a total of 30 yeah so one of my favorite statistics with there's thousands of fake female profiles and about 90 to 95 percent of the actual users are male yeah we suck yeah wow we're bad at things yeah and we should probably feel bad for being bad at things yep all right so what else did we tease because I think we're all right it's already almost 630 popcorn time getting attacked yes so if you use popcorn time and you wanted another reason why you probably shouldn't movie studio sues individual popcorn time users for infringement so for those of you who aren't familiar with popcorn time I've tried it it's really really good like it's the Netflix of piracy you basically just stream from torrents and I was like wow this works really really well subtitles are all like a drop down I was like all that crap that like when you're watching a blu-ray like it blows me away how crappy the blu-ray experience still is why can't they fix this why do I have to sit through two minutes of blah blah blah don't copy this why do I have to go back to the menu every time why do I have to all these things just shut up it's like it's very very annoying when the experience is worse for people that are paying for it okay here's a million dollar idea for the movie studios why do I have to come up with this crap the first blu-ray okay in the however many discs set should have fewer episodes of the show on it and it should have a lower quality compressed version of the entire season so that I don't have to change my freaking blu-ray desk when I want to watch a different episode cuz I'll give a crap I'm watching Family Guy do I need more pixels no million dollar idea why do I have to come up with it peeking sorry sorry sorry I'm fun using all the peaking so it just it blows me away how much better the piracy experiences but the thing that people need to understand about popcorn time is even if you're a shameless pirate you should not use it because you don't know what you're seeding anything you watch sits and seeds in the background until you reboot your computer at least that's how it used to work I actually haven't looked into it since probably probably still how it works so popcorn time users you could be getting it pretty good if you use popcorn time a lot restart your computer very infrequently because it could mean a lot of different studios looks and chill what are you doing I'm talking to which chat well a lot of Netflix and chill studios could be coming after you and you don't even realize that you've shared so many different movies because that's the thing is downloading is one thing distributing is a whole other thing so is that it for when show I think so all right my back hurts from like this weird I'm sorry about that now the after parties in person yo so thanks for watching guys thanks to our sponsors we'll see you again next week same bad time same bad channel if anyone wants to run and say hi to their mom okay so thanks to everyone for attending Linus Media Group meetup all right P
