 Hello my friends, yes it has not been a very good day today. Nope, no I have not had a particularly good day. Oh, because we're late. Um, because we're late? Yes, that's a factor. Oh yeah, the other one. But also the bit where Amazon terminated our affiliate account. Yeah. That also had something to do with it. So, uh, you know what, I'm not going to spend a lot of time talking about that on the show today. I'll just do a quick thing right now. Basically, we violated the terms of service. There were a couple of things that I didn't realize were, that I interpreted incorrectly. And in a nutshell, Amazon laid the smack down on that and has permanently banned our account. Well, not permanently, but they have banned our account until such time as all of the videos that reference Amazon and creating a bookmark to their site with our link. Okay, that part, I don't say that, so none of my videos have to go away. Sure, well, whatever. Yeah! All of the videos that contain that reference must be removed from the channel. That sounds fine then. That's probably okay. No big deal. And then we can reapply. I mean, we still get to keep Scrapyard Wars, right? Not they will reinstate our account. Then we can reapply for an account. I was like, so basically, no then. Alright, so we're already kind of scratching our heads going, well, gee, I mean, how much were we really making on Amazon affiliates? Maybe we could call out something else at the end of the video or maybe we can, I don't know, maybe Amazon could talk to us and we could figure out some kind of a solution where, hey, how about we fix it moving forward and we get a new tracker link or something like that, so stuff. But nope, nope, nope, that's dead. So the funniest, the greatest irony here actually that I personally really appreciated. I love irony. I was telling this to Brendan the other day. I was climbing a ladder in the middle of our late night shoot. An irony ladder? No, no, no. A aluminum? No, aluminum actually, but very nice. I like it. Good thinking. Thank you. So I was climbing a ladder and I was putting up the last sheet of paper on the two and a half story windows with this ladder propped actually at just above the midway point on something and actually not against anything on the top. And I was like, well, if I'm going to die, this is going to be the one. And I would like for the last piece of paper to be the one that I die on because I appreciate irony. I do. I love irony. If I'm going to die, I'd like for it to be in an ironic way. So anyway, if my Amazon affiliate account is going to be terminated, I do appreciate that it's in an ironic way. And already recorded, coming out very soon is a video called How Does Linus Media Group Make Money? Honest Answers Episode 2, much of which has been rendered completely invalid by the recent ruling of Amazon Associates Specialist Team who has decided that we no longer make money using Amazon Associates. Junko, it's not pre-recorded. So there you have it. I at least appreciate the irony of the situation. You know, if it all goes to hell, we can just start Twitch streaming all the time. Twitch streaming. I've heard it's pretty good money. We'll just create like a loose affiliation of Twitch streamers. No, we should just get like a... We have the internet connection for it. I actually don't really mind this idea. We should just get every piece of hardware that like anyone releases and just hold it. And then for the whole stream, top donator just gets to pick what we build next. And we just build the computer, show them the computer, benchmark whatever games they want to benchmark, and then the next top donator gets to pick our next build. We build it, we benchmark it for them, they can see what it looks like, we can cable manage it all. That's horrifyingly profitable. We can cable manage it all, we can benchmark all the games that they would want to say. They can go like, okay, I've got this build idea, it's got all this hardware in it from all these people with this case, all that kind of stuff. We can give them their thermals, we can give them their power draw, we can give them the performance in the games that they want to play. And basically by donating like 50 bucks, they would effectively get an unparalleled consultation on the best rig, probably saving 50 bucks in the process. It's actually kind of brilliant, but Matthew underscore TG brings up an excellent point. You'd have to have a proper schedule to do Twitch streaming and actually show up on time rip. Yeah, but like, I mean, my stream works every time, so maybe if I'm managing... I did replace the power supply in the stream PC, that's actually what I was doing before we started today, because the system hard locked right before we were supposed to go live today, and I was just like, you know what, I have replaced every component in this system except the power supply, which I assumed was fine, because it's a Be Quiet Dark Power Pro 850 watt 80 plus titanium, like it's a completely overkill, and actually excellent power supply, and so I threw in some test bench one that is known good, and the system hasn't been behaving strangely. No, it actually, it notably feels better than... I'm not guaranteeing it good yet, I think it's other specific things, but... People are like, I would watch the shit out of that in the Twitch chat. It slowly started to become like kind of a better idea as I went on. Oh no. Alright, well at any rate, we have some great topics for you guys today on the actual WAN show, not the WAN show where we just build computers. Microsoft makes a bold move into helping server the marijuana business. Ah yes. Ah yes, yes, it's a, you know... I was trying to make him... They're stirring the pot! Because that's like causing controversy. Oh. Anyway. But how does that relate? Just shut up. Overwatch takes the number one. I'd say they're lighting the fire. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're lighting the fire under their competitors who are not as progressive. They're... I'm sure we could come up with other things. They're... That's just straight up a reference. That doesn't refer to anything else. Alright, Overwatch takes the number one spot from League of Legends in Korean PC Internet Cafes. AKA, what are they called? Bangs? PC Bangs. Bangs? Yeah. I think it's Bang. I could totally be wrong. MSI and ASUS. Korean's not great either if it helps at all. Don't do that! Thank you. I don't know what that is. I believe it means thank you, sir. Oh, that's cool. MSI and ASUS allegedly send VGA or video card review samples with higher clock speeds than retail with like custom files and stuff. That means have a good day. Well, that's cool. No, wait. Yeah, it is! It's thank you. Huh. There it is. Yes! And smaller like processor chips may rely on vacuum tube technology, which is like the last thing I would have expected to be on the end of that sentence, but sure. Microsoft is weeding out the competition. Oh, that's good. That one's good. What else we got? No, no one's gonna... Really? Really? Oh, almost no one was after it. There's just a whole lot of like hashtag vape nation to which all I have to say is this. Whoa! That's an unexpected sponsor. We haven't talked about Discord in a while. Did Nick make this splash page? I don't know. Because this is what they're supposed to look like. Last time we talked about Discord, it didn't go over very well. People didn't like it. So Nick made the sponsor page? Is that what that has to do with? I have no idea. No, no, no. I was just... because you said we haven't talked about them in a while. Yeah. Last time we talked about them, we made a Cribs video. That was your Cribs video, I think. Everyone thought it was a Vape Nation video because apparently everyone's too young to remember Cribs. Really? So like all the... I made one off-hand reference by spelling it the wrong way with my hands for Vape Nation as a joke. Everyone thought that was like the whole point of the video. Really? It was Cribs. It was not Vape Nation. You know what the funny thing about that is? Is I'm too old to really know what Vape Nation is. Whereas like... Cribs? Cribs is like... yeah, yeah. Well, I remember not watching it because it was super good for me. Yeah, but like you knew what it was. But everyone knew what it was. Everyone knew. It's like Gravedigger. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Even if you have no idea what a monster truck is, the odds that you've encountered Gravedigger at some point is actually pretty good. Or like, you know, Michael Jordan. It's like even if you don't care about basketball at all, you know who that guy is. It's like MTV Cribs. If you don't care about bad reality television programming, you probably still know what it is. Crazy camera angles. And there's so many references to Cribs. I think I literally said Crib for one. The way like, the way Burkle filmed it was like awesome. With like the crazy camera angles, like the pulling the camera in and out and like all this crazy stuff. He made sure that I said like the lingo that was said on there commonly. Like we got this installed. Let me guess, Burkle legit watched Cribs? No, he had filmed his friend doing a spoof of it or something. So his friend had done a bunch of research. So we were effectively doing a spoof of a spoof. Yeah. Like ten years late. Yep. And people didn't get the reference. Well there you go. It also wasn't great. And like a lot of the comments were like, Burkle should have hosted this and you are correct. But then no one would have been able to film it properly. Right. So we weren't really sure. As much as Burkle should have hosted it, Luke shouldn't have filmed it. Yeah. Yes. Yes. Very much true. Alright. So this is some big news. Our original article here is from, let's go with the Wall Street Journal article. Are you posting this in the chat? Sure. Yep. I don't think we did that last week. No. I think it is what it is. Microsoft to acquire LinkedIn for $26.2 billion. So how this affects one of our sponsors today, who was actually acquired by LinkedIn this year, late last year? Late last year I think. Yeah. Linda.com. Probably very little according to Microsoft. So they've said that LinkedIn will pretty much continue to operate as a mostly independent company. They are going to give them their head so to speak. It's a horse lingo talk. And yes, blah, blah, blah, LinkedIn team has grown a fantastic business centered on connecting the world's professionals. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has had an impressive... Together we can accelerate the growth of LinkedIn as well as Microsoft Office 365 and Dynamics as we seek to empower every person and organization on the planet. So there you have it. The funny thing to me about Microsoft buying a social network is that Microsoft in the early days... Had the best one. Had the best online interconnective social platform and completely squandered it. Do you remember those piss poor MSN profiles that you could create? Oh yeah. They were like websites kind of? Kind of. They had an opportunity to take that. They had pretty much a monopoly on email. So everyone, everyone and their dog had a hotmail or an admsn.com account. And all this data mining crap that guys like Facebook and Google have come in and captured. Microsoft had an opportunity to develop as they went or just sit on ass for however long and acquire LinkedIn for $26 billion. Do you think you're going to have to have an Outlook login? For LinkedIn? Yeah. Really? That was the first thing I thought of when I saw that. Is there a little bit aggressive about trying to get people to do like Outlook logins and whatnot for their stuff? Hmm. That's very interesting. I actually have an Outlook login for our Office 365 accounts. Yep. But have you noticed that it's like broken? Super broken. It's like at our domain dot on Microsoft dot com and it's separate from my other Outlook logins that I can't. It gave me one for mine and it's the same broken mess. Yeah. I have to look up the source email every time I need to log in because I don't remember what it is. I've spent like a couple emails. I've spent a couple of emails, which is now a unit of time. Or like ammo. I've got 10 emails today. I've got to spend them right. Get through a couple here. It's like these bits are going to run out if we send too many emails. I've spent like a couple hours on a couple of occasions trying to figure out how to fix it because there's like a wizard. Really? Which just doesn't work at all. Like somehow I ended up on like Azure or something. Oh wow. What is this? I just want it to be up my domain. Just forget it. They're weird about the email stuff. So how much do you wish you'd invested in LinkedIn at this point? It was approved at 50% above the current market value for LinkedIn shares. Sick. So the transaction was unanimously approved by the board of directors of both LinkedIn and Microsoft. And it's expected to close this calendar year. Tell me something. Do you see... We should straw pull this because I want to hear from you guys. Do you see a way that your engagement on LinkedIn could somehow affect your decision? No. I know where you're going. No, I don't. I personally think LinkedIn is just this stupid, super weird kind of circle jerk. So every social media platform? Basically. But in like a uniquely weird way where like people feel obligated to have an account. You know what I mean? It's not like Facebook where they're like, ah, I'm on there because like, like there are certain friends or like a specific group. Like I have two groups on Facebook that I care about. One of them is a group that a bunch of my friends have where we just link music to each other. And it's just basically a jukebox now. And then the other group is like a gaming group of friends that I have. That's why I still have my Facebook. A lot of people have like a reason or two to still have it. LinkedIn is just like, most people just feel like they should. Well, because it's like it's your resume. Yeah. Like I actually, it's funny. I didn't create a LinkedIn until I was thinking about leaving NCIX. The reason I should probably have one is so I can show off my little gamification thing. I did the Coursera course and got gamification certified and was like, well, I can put it there. I don't think I've updated it since then. I was just like, man, there we go. I guess another thing I'd be really curious to hear about because to a greater extent, Like an employer, how an employer would use it? No, no, I want to know who all has an account. Because to a greater extent than something like Snapchat or Instagram or Twitter, I can see a reason for pretty much everyone and their dog to have one, even if it's just because they kind of feel like they have to. Facebook's kind of like that to me, where even before I had other social media platforms that I used to promote the YouTube videos, because quite frankly, I'm not much of a natural social media interactor. I like talking to you guys, but if I could do that in some other way, then I would prefer that. Just spontaneously posting the meal that I'm about to eat or the product that I'm working on is not something that comes naturally. It's something that I kind of do when I'm not that busy. Yeah, it's really weird. But even before I did all that stuff, even before it was kind of my job, I had a Facebook account and I believe I had my LinkedIn account. So those are the ones that are just, you kind of have to have it because everyone has it, at least from my perspective. I don't think I had a LinkedIn account until the Coursera thing for Game of Vacation. I might have just like made one so that someone didn't steal my name or something, or my login handle or whatever. I often do that with a lot of different things. I sure wish I had done that on a lot of things. Especially now that I'm a little bit more of a prominent internet personality. Gamertags, dude. People just snatch it up. I get tweets all the time. Hey, I was playing a game with you the other night. So I was out of the country the other night. I super forgot my laptop and had no internet. No, you weren't. I have seen a Linus Tech with the little bunny thing. Really? I have seen a game that I have played. What game? I think it was Counter-Strike. It was not you. Oh, okay. I know it wasn't. Okay. I have you on my thing. Right, yes. It was not you, and they didn't know that it was me. Oh, I see. Yeah, so I was like, uh, this is weird. Because I know that's not actually Linus, but he doesn't know that this is me at all. This is a very weird situation. So Microsoft is hoping to kind of bring it all together, but it looks like most of you would not have LinkedIn affect your inclination to use Office 365 or Microsoft Cloud Services, I spelled that wrong. And I'm also going to have a look at how many of you actually have LinkedIn accounts? Whoa, that was not expected at all. I did not see that one coming. Age range, though. So are you guys, I mean, okay, we'll go to Twitch chat for this, just because I don't want to do a whole formal straw poll. We spent a lot of time on this topic already, but is this something that you don't have one because you feel too young for it? Or what exactly is the deal here? I'm going to go ahead and let Twitch chat kind of... Got people saying it's creepy. Got other people saying get a job, you darn kids. Yeah, I've got a lot of you just saying, yeah, you're young, and don't feel like you need one. A lot of people posting their ages. Apparently they haven't gone to hiding your personal information on the internet school. I mean, that's okay. I mean, the likelihood of someone screen scraping all of this information and tying it back to your account and doxing you is very low, and the odds of you actually being honest about it are very low. We have one alien watching. We have one alien watching. Like 67,000 years old. Okay, that's cool. That's good. Although on that subject, I actually don't know if this is in our topics for this week, but I was reading an article about a... Shoot, you know what? Why don't you take the next one, and I'll see if I can find this because it was really interesting. I'm going to jump a fair amount then all the way down to Overwatch taking the number one spot from League of Legends in Korean PC bang. Hopefully I'm saying that correctly. I'm going to post the article in the chat, which you're almost definitely not going to be able to read. Some of you will be able to, but not that many considering it is super not in English. One of the main reasons why I find this interesting before I even go into the article at all, which I'm pretty sure is just going to say that it is now being played more than League of Legends, is that this is great. I love this so much. My personal opinion on Overwatch, as some people have seen on Twitter, is that it's kind of okay, and that the only reason why I actually care about it is that my friends play the game itself I find rather uninteresting, and I actually technically prefer Team Fortress. But this is a full-price game that isn't free to play. It has some microtransactions, but it's an extremely small part of the game. League of Legends is a free-to-play game that is... Skins are a really big deal, and you can't get them for free. In Overwatch, you can get the skins for free for sure. You can just get more of them if you pay some money. It's kind of cool to see a game that you just have to buy and doesn't rely on this other stuff working well, because hopefully more of those will happen. Well, you'll have to elaborate on that. I mean, why do you care about non-free-to-play games being popular? I find that a lot of free-to-play games are low quality and push extremely hard to try to form game mechanics around the idea of you spending money. I'm not saying League of Legends does that. League of Legends is actually one of the lowest offenders in terms of free-to-play games at all, which is great. They're doing great. And I would be way more happy if Overwatch beat anyone else, because I don't feel like League of Legends is being that aggressive with it. But, yeah, I don't know. I don't see that a paid game is working so well, because usually paid games are just built around being good games so that more people buy them, instead of being addictive games so that more people pay microtransaction fees. I don't think there's actually a ton to add from the article itself. Overwatch took the spot by 0.3% of total playtime countrywide, so it's narrow. It's a super-hot new title. Yes. Just kind of throwing that out there. It's the sexy new girlfriend or boyfriend. The infatuation is strong. Pretty much everyone I know... Oh, super important note. Did you add this, or did someone else add this? Nick added it. Apparently you can play for free in a lot of the PC-bongs, so they probably have accounts tied to the computers, which is a huge reason that more people would be playing it. So maybe not quite as cool as I thought. But given the choice to play one free game versus another free game, people are choosing to play Overwatch instead. When I was in Taiwan, people were playing with their own accounts. And a huge amount of people were playing Overwatch there, to the point where they had a big mural on the Internet Cafe sign. If you want to see a super cool video on that coming soon, I'm not going to say when. Yeah, I actually don't know exactly when. I do. I just took a letter and found out how the PC-bong thing works for Overwatch. Apparently you just sign in with the battle mat, and it's on your account, but you can just play it. So it's not like there's an account inside the PC-bong. That's very cool. They can't hear you, so we should probably be summarizing rather than... Or you could just come over here and speak directly into the microphone. He gave us a finger, so I guess we're explaining it. Yeah, okay. So apparently you can log into your own account so that you have your own name and your own friends list and all that kind of stuff, but the purchase of Overwatch is somehow tied to the PC-bong, so you can play for free, which is cool. Yeah. Apparently League of Legends is more popular again as of more recent stats, but it's still noteworthy given that this is the first time it's happened in four years that anything has overtaken League of Legends. Essentially what happens is the PC-bongs work out a deal with Blizzard, where they're like, oh yeah, we're just going to let everyone use the game. And they pay a lump sum to Blizzard, and then people pay hourly to use it on their own account. Yeah. Okay, so Gizmodo... I'll go ahead and post this in the chat. I'm already ready. Gizmodo says, Facebook will start tracking which stores you walk into. Awesome! Awesome? Well, awesome for Facebook. Oh, okay. The data mining is strong with this one. Yes. Facebook wants to show advertisers that their ads make you visit their physical stores and buy their stuff. So to do this, they'll use the phone's location services to track whether people actually walk into a store after seeing an ad. This is interesting because now that Facebook has said that they plan to do this, I have to assume that they already know that the result is going to be a positive one, or they probably wouldn't have brought it up so that no one asks them about it. So you're thinking they already did it? Oh, come on. Facebook takes like probably 10 to 15% off of my daily battery life. It's doing something. And it sure as hell isn't doing anything with me actually opening the app. Facebook is intense. So it's called the local awareness feature, and businesses can include a map with their ad to show users where the closest store is in case the user wants something immediately. So the advertising business won't be able to see you individually. They'll just be able to match visits with the number of people that saw their ad. So early results from the feature have been good for businesses apparently. French retailer E Leclerc says it's reached 1.5 million people within 10 kilometers. 12% of clicks led to a visit within a week. So okay, but the metric I want to see is the foot traffic change. Not bad. Right, because they might have gone anyway. Yeah, I want to see the increased amount of foot traffic that happened because of this. That's the only metric that really matters there. Well, I don't even know what E Leclerc is, because if it's like a grocery store, then the odds of you going to a grocery store within a week are pretty good. Let's have a look at what this is. So sports gear? Why is there an ad for their own site? Oh, no, they have TV. Wait, what? Oh, maybe they are, maybe, no, I think they're a sponsor. Enter the competition. No, I don't want to enter the competition. What do they do? They sell Nest-T. So are they just like a big Walmart-y kind of thing? I don't know. Online store, high-tech, wine. They have everything. It's a supermarket. Okay, so it's a supermarket. Yeah, a bunch of people are saying it's a supermarket. So basically, a marketer at a supermarket thinks it's interesting that that percentage of people who clicked on the ad went to a store. I mean, this is kind of a correlation causation argument, don't you think? I would argue that if you clicked on a coupon or something for E Leclerc, the odds were excellent that you were already planning a trip there because it's a grocery store and you're just taking advantage of a deal. I'll bounce back in one second. But I seriously think that's why I want to see the foot traffic numbers. Right. Like, I don't really care about your clicks. How many people actually made it into the store? Because that's what matters to me if I'm a store owner. Right. Interesting. I mean, these guys are advertising in huge volume. 12% of clicks, so 180,000 led to a visit within a week. So 12% of 180,000 is what? Like, almost 20,000 people, almost 20,000 visits based on your Facebook app tracking where you're going. That is some creepy stuff right there. I am not a huge fan of this. To be very clear when I said that's cool at the beginning, I meant that's cool in terms of that is a very interesting use of technology and that is very, very sort of clever advertising, not that's cool. I want my Facebook app tracking me. Because quite honestly, the only reason I even have Facebook installed on my phone is because Facebook has been burying any content that's not posted natively to their platform. So for example, if I sent out a tweet like, oh, this Stormtrooper keychain dude ad is so cool, go check it out on Amazon. Excuse me, not Amazon, somewhere else I guess. Go check it out wherever else. If I posted that to Twitter, the way I had it set up in the past is I would just have that tweet waterfall to the Facebook page. Well, Facebook actually started actively blocking the water falling of our YouTube video posts because it was working and then stopped. So now we have to manually post video releases there and what I realized they've been doing once I started posting stuff natively to Facebook is they've been burying anything that waterfalls from another platform. So you can actually see right on every Facebook post what the reach is and you can obviously see publicly visible data like likes and comments. And I started posting stuff that I just, I mean, don't take this the wrong way. I mean, you know, keep hitting that like button on Facebook or commenting or whatever, but like I was posting stuff that I really didn't think was very interesting on Facebook. Like here, what's a good example? I posted like a picture of a graphics card. Yeah, here we go. A picture of an EVGA graphics card last night, less than 24 hours ago, that reached 240,000 people, has 9.2 thousand likes, 166 shares and 372 comments. I mean, I will give it to Facebook when they decide to push your content to people. Apparently either they're like really like doing it or other platforms are burying content to a much greater degree than I originally anticipated because we've only got, what is it? 342,000 likes on the Facebook page. So to get that many is insane. So to have a reach of 250,000, I mean, that's like us publishing every single YouTube video we publish, getting 2 million views, like 1.5 million. People can just scroll past it and not even look at it and it counts. Does it? Yeah. Okay, so that's why the video views count on Facebook is so insane because it starts autoplaying when you scroll by. But that still tells us something really interesting and that's that unlike Twitter, you know, apparently 70% of our Facebook likes, A, haven't like muted us and B, are actually getting the post. And the same thing goes for YouTube subscriptions. There is no way, and you know, Game Theorists did a great video on this. There is no way that YouTube actually pushes every one of your videos to every one of your subscribers. They actually don't do it. You don't get our videos, if I recall correctly. No. I like, every once in a while, I'll notice that I haven't gotten them in forever. So I'll go and just like autoplay some playlists and then they'll start to pop up again. Yeah, so there you go. If you're not watching regularly, they just kind of stop delivering. The worst is when I'll have a video playing and like I'll leave work and forget about it, take my headphones off, it's still playing, leave work, forget about it, come back in on like Monday and it's just still playing videos from whoever. And now all my subscription boxes are just solidly pin. That would be a really fun video, like a rabbit hole style video, like exploring the YouTube rabbit hole. Like do different things and just see how it reacts because we would never be able to actually figure it out. No, you should do nothing. So we should leave YouTube videos playing watch next for like a week or like a month. And like we should do it on like we could create a bunch of VMs. So we could actually do it on like 20 computers at the same time. And we could we should start them all on the same video, like 10 seconds apart and then see where they all end up. How far, how deep does the YouTube rabbit hole go? And like what it's what it is now suggesting to you and stuff. Yeah. Should we also on the VMs, should we VPN them out so they're in different geographical locations? I don't think so. I think we try that with like one or two. Yes. Yeah, we should have a couple be from. So we should VPN most of them to America or something. And then we should do like a couple in Canada, a couple in Great Britain or something like that. And like a couple in Australia and I want to see I want to see where they end up. I bet this could be like a Twitch plays Pokemon type thing if it wasn't for all the copyright infringement. Like if you just had a Twitch, yeah, all the copyright. But if you had a Twitch channel that just played the rabbit hole, I bet that would go like I bet people would be interested in that. Where is where is Twitch chat freaking out there like they're like, do it, do it, do it, do it. Do you want do you want to do it? Sure. Okay. All right. Yeah, let's let's do it. I am I am super curious because there is no way that the algorithm sends them all to the same place. It's so experimental like it's it's constantly learning. So, you know, oh, man, I can't even imagine some of the weird stuff. Some of them will have been watching by the time we get back to it. I like it. So like how do we film this? Do we do like updates along the way or do we just like personally take notes along the way and then do a recap video? So we have a machine. If you can only tie it up for like a week, I have a forty four core machine so we could actually probably screen capture. This is such a like I have a forty four core. Who can just say that? I don't know. Sorry. Keep going. Sometimes the job catches me. You could do forty four VMs each running a two point two gigahertz Broadwell core core i7 with hyper threading. OK, you could do forty four machines. And if you can only tie it up for like a week because I'm going to roll it out as like a render server at some point. I'm actually bench. I'm stress testing it now. Then then go ham go ham because John from Lime Tech can help you clone the VM. So with forty four VMs, I could even put like fifteen or twenty of them on the standard experiment. Yeah. And then try some weird stuff with you. Start start on like a start on a Linus Tech tips video. And because it's a reasonably powerful core, you could set up Xsplit on all of them and you could actually record the entire thing because it's an unraid server. So we could fill it with all the storage. Oh my God. How much storage do we need? A lot. Forty four computers constantly capturing their screen for a week. Yes. How much storage? Should be fine. We could record a pretty low bit rate. I don't think it's a big deal. Like 720p, like two megabit or something like that. Yeah, it should be fine. So eighty eight megabit for a week. Yeah. I mean, that's only, you know, yeah. This is a lot. Yeah, yeah, it's fine. It's fine. It's fine. Eight megabytes per second. Yeah. That's a lot. Yeah, I like it. I like it. I like it. No, eighty eight. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. Eighty eight megabytes per second. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Should be fine. Should be fine. We've got those. We've got those four terabyte SSDs. So those will bear the brunt of it for a little while. We are going to build the most ridiculous like YouTube watching machine. Yeah. Will we be violating YouTube's terms of service? Are you allowed to not watch? I mean, come on. It's in the name of science. It's not technically a bot. Yeah, it's actually legitimately someone will sit in, they will click and ends up to YouTube what they do from there. It's not our fault. Does it ever? Will it stop? I don't think it stops. We'll find out. We'll find out. We'll report back to you. We need to like keep the mouse moving on all of them. To write a script to keep the most moving. That's a bot. But it's not interacting with the window. I don't want to say clicking or anything. Just keep the mouse moving. I see. So it could just click the start menu periodically? Probably. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Well, we won't do any of that. Totally. Not at all. Okay. Smaller chips moving forward. That is to say processors. Oh, you beat me to it. I had it ready. Rat bastard. Original article here from the New York Times may depend on this is such a great. Like, I actually don't know where they put it in the article. Nope. No, it looks like someone was just the SEO guy over at the New York Times was just having fun. Smaller chips may depend on technology from grandma's radio. When the actual headline is smaller chips may depend on vacuum tube technology. So the URL is just kind of funny. The URL is amazing. That's pretty cool. Some writer was like, no one's ever going to see this. So the silicon transistor is a tiny switch that is basically the fundamental building block of modern microelectronics. And they've been getting smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller until they've gotten to the point where they can't figure out what substrates to put them on. And they can't figure out how to cram them any closer together without having to deal with like electron migration and and they just plain old can't build them any smaller. It's becoming like a very much a problem. Yeah. Moore's law. I mean, look at Intel. They were like tick tock until the end of time. Now it's like tick tock. It's like a but even with Moore's law, the idea isn't that you do the exact same thing forever. The idea is you innovate and change what you're doing. But the performance metrics and whatnot increase. Well, Moore's law, strictly speaking, like original Moore's law was that the transistor density would double. OK. Yeah. So so yeah, I guess it is totally you do this. So if you find ways to improve performance that involve like farting on every chip on its way out of the factory, if that somehow in unicorn farts or something, then that's still maintaining the performance reflect every color of the rainbow. Yeah. Because of the unicorn fart. Yeah. So it makes it like a quantum chip because you don't necessarily know which it could have any state within the entire spectrum of light. Yeah. Which would that's actually very cool. Yeah. Good thought. If only we could find a unicorn to test it. Yes. So anyway, smaller chips may see the silicon transistor replaced by the vacuum tube, which is like so backwards because the other version of that, like the vacuum tube being replaced by the transistors happened in the 1970s. So like it happening again. And the other way, I don't know the size of these things is where is it like one millionth the size of original vacuum tubes or something. Yeah. So this is there's actually a lot of notes on this article because Colton and Nick know that we're not particularly sciencey. So they try and help us. So it's the nano fabrication group at Caltech that's researching these ultra small fabricated circuits that function like vacuum tubes as a candidate to replace the transistor. None of this is set in stone. The ultra small means something to the effect of one millionth the size of old vacuum tubes. Research is being financed by Boeing and the researchers have also explored using vacuum tubes for flat panel displays in the turn. These researchers researchers also explored using them for flat panel displays in the 1990s, though LCD technology ended up being both cheaper and more effective in that case. So here's the kind of like the counterintuitive brain explosion how it works because the problem with modern transistors is that the smaller they get the more they leak electrons. So in modern chips as much as half of the power consumed is being lost to electrons leaking from transistors that are only dozens of atoms wide wasting energy and generating heat. Which heat by the way causes these transistors to eventually fail speeding up the process of electron migration. So these miniature vacuum tubes switches use a mechanism that causes leak use the mechanism that causes leakage in transistors known as quantum tunneling to switch on and off the flow of electrons without leakage. Yes, which is like the whole point. So they would use less power and work faster than today's transistor based chips that can be. Yeah, to be clear vacuum tubes are not the only thing that could possibly replace the modern transistor or carbon nanotubes. Yeah, which we hear a lot about. But yes, see very little. Yes, have been hearing a lot about for a very long time. Yes. So hopefully something actually happens with them. But yeah, this is just another one of those attempts to solve the problem. So to be clear, how close are we to being up against the wall? Well, once the industry shrinks below 10 nanometers, which by the way, We're as low as 14 nanometer on Intel's latest process. So once the industry gets below 10 nanometers, silicon becomes much more unpredictable doing weird stuff like emitting light. So that's not ideal and a new solution will be needed. Yeah. Ah, this is interesting. So the original article here is from USA Today. Microsoft makes a bold move into helping serve the marijuana business. I think this is super smart. Does this have to do with their Washington headquarters? That's kind of funny. Maybe. The reason why I think this is super smart is because Canada is currently trying to make it officially legal and is planning for that in like 2017 or whatever. We've seen states like Colorado be able to do amazing things with the taxable money that they've gotten off of the sale of this stuff. Like actually really amazing things considering they've made millions and millions of dollars off of it, which is great. So it's kind of happening. It being legalized is kind of happening. So Microsoft getting behind it and the server side of things is great. They're doing that not by like necessarily making anything, but they're allowing a company called Kind, at least I think that's a shortened version of that, Kind Financial, to use their Azure service for their, what is it, seed to sale program, which tracks plants all the way through the process, which is good because it's a highly regulated government thing. As it probably should be. Yeah. And I mean, that's one of the things about pot. Now I've had a lot. I've actually had a lot of people speculate. I just like put fingers over top of other fingers. I'm just like, yeah, in American sign language, it's two hours facing each other. Is it? Yep. Nice. Yeah. Okay. Thank you for that. So two lions, I've seen a lot of speculation online as to whether or not I hashtag for 20 blaze it. I'm going to actually acknowledge it for the first time ever. I don't smoke pot. I never have either. I get lots of comments with that too, because I've kind of droopy eyes. Yeah. So everyone just, no, I don't. I look tired because I run my own business and my eyes are red because I'm up late running my own business. And so a lot of people figure that that has to do with the marriage of wanna. It actually isn't. Um, the last thing I need is to be slightly less alert at any point during the day because I have two, almost three children now and I have stuff to do. I do so legalization and taxation though. So I, again, I'm taking a stance on something that I normally don't get involved in. I fully support the legalization of it because of a couple of reasons. Number one is I have to pay a toll to cross the bridge into the city now because our government doesn't have enough money because they're busy letting the hell's angels take all the revenue for marijuana sales. Thank you for that. And you're clearly not stopping it from happening. So you might as well make money off. And number two is I would really like for marijuana to be safer for the people who are using it right now. Marijuana is not a drug that is and you know what? You can debate this all day, but it's not a drug that is in the grand scheme of things, particularly dangerous, especially when compared to other completely legal substances like alcohol. And when you're buying it from like super sketchy dudes, they could lace it with whatever and it can be a dangerous process. And that's where marijuana can get extraordinarily dangerous and can be used as a gateway drug, so to speak, to get people hooked on much, much harder substances. Something that while I haven't personally experienced, I've had people that are very close to me personally experience and is a super huge bummer. So having it be available legally and getting the taxation revenue as well as making it safer for people who are quite frankly, obviously going to do it anyway is not the end of the world for me. You're really losing that war. Not you. So there you have it. I have officially taken a stance on it. I don't use it. I never have. I don't intend to, but I don't care if other people use it because I personally don't think there's anything you can do to stop them anyhow. And give the government that tax money. That's the main like, oh my God, Colorado made so much off of that. That's fantastic. Fill some holes in some roads, take some tolls away. Yeah, take my toll off my bridge. Help education. How much that bridge costs across? It's like $350 each way. It cost me $7 to go to Ikea. Not to mention the like $500 that you spend every time you go to Ikea because how does it happen? It just does. It just does. What if Ikea had tolls? In order to go backwards through the story you have to like spend money. Well, it's kind of like that because you can't get out of the story. I know that's what I mean though. Or like if you go from one section to the next section without spending like 15 minutes there you get a toll. So you like spend long enough in each section of the story you can go through it for free. Or if you spend even longer, you get a bonus of free meatballs. The number of people like listening to me but not understanding me is unbelievable. OMG it's not a gateway drug. It sure as hell is if it's laced with something else that you become physically dependent on. If you put something hyper addictive on top of the weed or whatever. Which is clearly not exactly how the process works but. Yeah, I don't know these things. You would then become addicted to that and need that and then yeah. And you can to be very clear and this is something a lot of people don't know. You can be addicted to a substance never having knowingly consumed it or even in fact never having consumed it. Babies can be born addicted to heroin. Yeah. And by addicted that doesn't mean they use it. That means that they are physically dependent on it and they will undergo withdrawal symptoms if they were to get some small taste of it and then not have it anymore instantly. Because they already have a physical dependency. Yeah. So it's it's we're talking about jerk bag drug dealers lacing things in order to hook clients that they can make money on for the rest of that clients life on our drugs. Yeah. All right. So let's talk about let's talk about ways of making money on that subject that I personally don't really agree with. Let's do the Internet creators guild. So I would call myself as big a fan of Hank Green and the Green brothers in general that I could be without watching their content. Like I've probably only watched you could count on one hand the number of videos I've watched from them but I respect them a lot as Internet entrepreneurs as content creators as people who have taken making YouTube videos and turned it into not just a bigger business because it's not just about that but into into a viable career for the people around them. It's something I admire it's something I respect it's something I aspire to do for myself and for the people around me like this guy. Hello. I think that being an online content creator is a real job and I like to be the proof of it not just for myself but for others. Have you noticed it's getting notably less weird to tell people what you do. Yep. Yep. At least people have heard of YouTube. In the last three years even. Yep. Huge changes. So I never even used to tell people the YouTube part of my job. I know. I used to try to hide it. Yeah. And now when I try to hide it by saying I work for a media creation company and they eventually dig a little bit further and I say YouTube it's not like the super weird response anymore. So with my respect for the Green brothers and Hank in particular. So in the chat sorry. In mine. It's like thank God Linus thinks his own job is a real job. That was a close one there. I think this is an ugly blatant cash grab. I think that the Internet Creators Guild post from Hank Green announcing it two days ago reads like like like a market analysis business case study determining the feasibility of this as a way to make a profit. Maybe I am completely backwards because for the most part Hank's intentions seem pretty good. He seems to have in the past been pretty pro content creator but I can't think of a reason for anything that the Internet Creators Guild proposes to do to cost money. And this all reads like like figuring out like it's like it's like a spreadsheet of how much money we can make on this. How many Internet Creators are there. How about thirty seven thousand. And then there's some crap about for context Facebook has twelve thousand employees and if every Internet Creator were a company it would be hiring faster than any company in Silicon Valley and there's three hundred thousand people making more than what. What if Internet creator were a company would be added them all together. Anyway so the number of people making twenty five hundred dollars a year. Three hundred thousand blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah continues to get more complex. It's up to and a lot of this is valid the fact that it's up to individual creators to take time off from their lives Running small businesses to you know deal with something going wrong like a lot of know say for example Amazon cutting off your affiliate account And I've known people who have personally had it happen to not just me for reasons that suck a lot more than well I violated the terms of service and they kicked me to the curb without so much as a phone call or a You know one last time you know Like Austin for example Sorry this was my point, so I want to say if plumbers were a company. It would be the largest company Yeah, exactly What? Which is absolutely nothing to do with anything Like Austin, Austin Evans for example had his turned off temporarily because it wasn't available in the state that he was living in all of a sudden Like it can just it can just happen things can go wrong and like I'm not saying that it's not a big deal Like it can just it can just happen things can go wrong and like I see that that's interesting And then there's this bolded point There is no system for protecting creators many of whom have no experience in any industry let alone the notoriously cutthroat entertainment industry And there's no centralized organization representing creators, so it goes on to say so I'm creating one to which I'm contributing $50,000 which is coming from VidCon Which is and then it like even says Obviously VidCon benefits hugely from the explosion online content, and we're looking for ways to give back also known as invest in it and Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Laura who has worked with VidCon since the first year will be the executive director So here are some things it wants to do Most of which I think are pure nonsense Help the press talk intelligently about online video So I mean So what you want to be tube filter or something like you just want to be a publication that that other online press can Sorry, so can someone can someone call I guess the creators guild when they're trying to Like if maybe investigative journalism of some sort is doing So they want to be up okay anyway So share stories and strategies from professional creators that will be available only to members Why would these be available only to members if the idea is that you actually want to be helpful? Collecting stories and strategies from professional creators is not real freaking difficult. We've had plenty of Professional creators on for example the WAN show as guests in the past Increased transparency about what creators do and don't receive from MCNs advertisers agencies and managers this I can see being valuable But this could be done in a handful of blog posts This doesn't need an organization act as a bridge between creators and platforms this looks like an opportunity to double dip to me This looks like an opportunity to charge platforms for access to the creators you represent I mean this that feels an awful lot like an emcee what an MCNs role was supposed to be and as long as they are Serving the creators interest rather than their own then I guess that's great, but Again, I don't see that being a full-time job And I don't see that being something that a creator should have to pay for because that's where we're getting there are some things here That I think are great For example sample contracts for sponsors managers MCNs merchandise and agencies would have been phenomenally helpful for us a few years ago But some of this stuff just doesn't mean anything fostered diversity in online video content How are you going to do that? Online video content is quite possibly the most diverse video platform available and has absolutely nothing preventing it from being more diverse as Video equipment and access to good enough internet and computer hardware to create videos becomes more and more affordable as time goes on You have absolutely zero impact on this so it just it reads like a bunch of lists of things that sound great on paper and for some reason cost $60 a year per creator We figure you can spare $5 a month for this and if we can't provide enough value to make that investment more than worth it we're just not doing a good job The thing that I really hate about this is that everything there the sample contracts are a great example could have been done in a few minutes for free as like a tab Like a drop down on the VidCon website like creator resources and they've got this board of directors that's a bunch of prominent creators Anna Akana is one of them they've got an advisory board that includes Casey Neistat so some pretty big names For experienced guys like that or if they reached out to guest creators for example YouTube asked me to create a number of years ago a segment on finding your niche That I happily did lots of content creators would be happy to create advice for smaller creators There is no reason that $60 a year needs to be charged and the thing that really bugs me about it is that I can really see it working And I can see it working on the people who we really shouldn't be taking money from Like I've attended three Google workshops now like Google YouTube run workshops for existing and wannabe content creators And those guys are really impressionable and quite frankly a little vulnerable They just need basic information a lot of which can be accessed through YouTube's own tools that are built right into the video dashboard The main thing totally is the contracts. Contracts are scary not a lot of people understand them because they're written in a kind of weird way And a lot of them get thrown at you really fast and yeah I don't feel like you need a membership for that So especially you don't need a membership in my mind for joining a guild that talks about a lot of these things But actually doesn't have any bargaining power with anyone whatsoever So they're completely powerless, they're taking your membership fee and they offer these sort of vague resources that if we're not doing a good enough job then I guess don't buy it anymore So what happens, anyway, I had actually told myself when I read this article that I wasn't going to bother talking about it because I just didn't want to give it any publicity But instead I've decided to talk about it because I don't like it, I think it's crappy, I think all these resources are out there I know because I've been through this as well and yeah, yeah, floating cactus puts it well It's just another euphemism for union except that the key difference here is that a union actually has collective bargaining power Which a guild does not So there you go I really don't like it Let's move on to our next topic, oh this is sort of a scandal, original article here is from Tech Power Up Allegedly MSI and ASUS send VGA review samples with higher clocks than retail cards So I think it's not just that, I don't know how many different notes we have on this but I was scrambling researching this as fast as I could before we went on the show And if I saw correctly there are actually different BIOSes And like some cards will have like OC mode and LN2 mode and all that stupid crap that you should just turn on Well LN2 mode on that kingpin card was useful because remember it circumvented all the OCP crap Yeah, no, they should just all be always on Well I think that's an Nvidia restriction so that's a whole deeper con We're back to green light at that point which I've talked about extensively in the past and I hate but I also understand why it exists Anyways, so like some people are saying that they're shipped preset in one of those bigger modes So like it would show up in LN2 mode or OC mode or whatever Some people are saying that there are custom BIOS that have cranked settings above what you can normally have So consumers have access, this is from the Tech Power Up article, to the higher clock speed profiles But only if they install a custom app by the companies and enable that profile Something that quite frankly flies in the face of the advice that's been being given by tech publications for the last decade Which is don't install AI Suite, don't install any random applications because for the most part all they do is bog down your system So to have the product require that application from an end user but not for a reviewer feels a little skeevy Some of this I worry about because of GPU boost I've done videos on that before and this is honestly getting close to the margin of error kind of problem with GPU boost Where cards just come out at different speeds but it came out that these were predefined settings Not just the card acting differently And it would be very difficult for the average reviewer, even a very vigilant one, to notice these differences In the case of the GTX 1080 Gaming X from Gigabyte Wait, did I say Gigabyte? No, I think that's an MSI card Sorry, Gaming X? I think that's MSI Yeah, MSI, sorry, sorry, sorry I don't know, G1 Gaming, Gaming X Yeah, I know, I know, yeah, that's hard The difference is 1822 MHz boost versus 1847 MHz boost That can totally feel like a GPU boost That's a 1% difference that basically really doesn't make much of a difference at all But would be a difference between what a reviewer would see versus what an end user would see without the utility So it really does feel like splitting hairs a little bit to people like me who don't really overclock video cards anyway But to a consumer who shops based on a review that compares a bunch of GTX 1080s I mean, you and I, I don't even look at that stuff anymore because it's like Well, if I really wanted to turn it up another 20 MHz I would Yeah, I'd do it myself I just go with what I know has a good warranty, what I think looks cool, and what has water block compatibility If this has been going on for a long time, I wonder if it is related to why I ended up making all those GPU boost videos Because I do specifically remember having a card and being like, this is running not at all what it says it's supposed to run at So sending out emails, but I'm not entirely sure So this is interesting, I actually first heard about this when someone posted on my Facebook post or on my Twitter I've been engaging a lot more on Facebook, I've been reading a lot more stuff now that I realized it reaches so many more people I'm like, oh, well maybe I should spend some time on this platform anyway Someone asked when I posted a picture of an EVGA 1070, hey, there's this scandal, is EVGA doing it? I have a response from Jacob, and I'm not going to include what he said about the other companies because, you know, that's a private conversation But what he has to say about EVGA is that we are not doing it, EVGA cards have always been exactly the same hardware and BIOS as production So no need to worry there, smiley face And therefore, our 1070 review will move on Jacob is a good guy, he would not lie to me There's a lot of people in the industry that I would not necessarily say that about But Jacob's salt of the earth, if he says it, I believe it So there you go, EVGA is not involved Okay, let me have a look Yeah, I don't really see anything else that seems that important here So I guess that's pretty much it This news is a little bit late, but if we just want to talk about something else at all Astralis finally had their meeting with Blizzard Basically, all the top heads of whatever at World of Warcraft and the CEO of Blizzard were all in on the meeting And the meeting ended up going multiple hours over time And apparently they were taking a lot of notes and had a lot of interesting inside metrics and stuff They didn't lose the code, that was not a thing that happened, they still have the code Because of how versioning software works, they can go back and find it There's certain things that they don't have, I don't remember without going back to the post, I don't remember exactly what it is So there's still some rebuilding that has to be done, but they're not missing the entire game Right, which was the original story that no one bought I actually thought it was possible, thinking back, we don't have original footage Or even exported video footage, well hold on, stuff can happen, a hard drive can die Right, but again, small company versus big company, they would have versioning control and they would have that stuff in multiple places Big company that might have determined that the 9 years ago build is not that important anymore It's possible I doubt it, just because what if they wanted to do some weird Valve lost an entire episode of Half-Life Oh man Anyways, apparently they're not really saying anything yet or whatever I kind of expect if anything gets announced, it wouldn't be before Blizzcon, and that's not for a while Right But apparently it was a very positive overall meeting Okay, well that's good to hear The devs in the meeting were being like, yeah if it was back I would play So that was kind of interesting That's telling That's like, ouch Yeah Oh, ow, okay So I think they might actually want to do it, but I think they wanted to get the movie out of the way Right They wanted to get the launch of Legion out of the way, I don't mean wanting to get it out of the way, they wanted those things to walk their course first And then I think if they launch it anywhere it would probably be Blizzcon Speaking of which, you saw the movie Yeah, okay I have seen multiple videos online of people saying that it sticks to the lore really well What book did you read? Not the ones I read And I'm gonna exit No, it's fine, I'm not gonna talk about it for too long, I've been thinking about making a video on this I just don't even know where to start Like Hit it, hit it, Warcraft movie is highly topical to our viewers I just He's already convinced me not to watch it Okay, Medivh? I don't want to give spoilers, but there's books and games already out, so is it okay? I think Okay, you know what? Hold on, hold on, hold on I want to hear from the audience We can just give people the opportunity to tune out You know what? I can talk about one thing before they answer this poll Let's can the WAN show, and let's do a short after party today Let's talk about the Warcraft movie I want to do one more topic Before we cut the show Microsoft considered launching an upgraded Xbox One this year Phil Spencer came out and basically said Yeah, we could have done an upgraded Xbox But no, no, it's still working See? It's just not changing scenes Because I think I like misclicked Oh, I moved it That's what happened, there we go, all good Actually, the stream system's been Like, totally fine No weird behavior in Xsplit No weird behavior in the tabs Maybe we surged the power supply at some point I don't know, man So Phil Spencer basically said in an interview at E3 that the company seriously considered launching a new Xbox One with upgraded hardware this year But decided against it, is instead launching a smaller version of the Xbox One The Xbox One S They're focusing on a 4K ready console to release next year Code name Scorpio Which has like, actually a pretty crazy GPU in it Well that's probably Over 6 teraflops That's probably why they didn't launch it this year Because honestly to me, the console refresh has been a waiting game from the beginning I was talking to Jon about it And like, no, I haven't read anything about this anywhere I have no like, solid actual reason to think this I'm just kind of wondering if it's a SoC 1070 Because the memory bandwidth matches up And the teraflops on the chip is very close They said 6 I think in the 1070 is 6 point something It could also be, they could also be going back to AMD AMD didn't say anything about it But man, they were smug as a bee in a bee suit I've invented that saying, no one ever said that before But AMD was pretty smug about their console leadership when I was at the Polaris launch event So I am guessing I have no information The only reason why I got excited about that is because Phil Spencer or whatever was talking about VR I almost included it in my Oculus Rift thing, but I didn't bother And the PlayStation VR stuff that's coming out They're both pushing towards VR And SMP would help them a lot Right So I thought that made sense, but I guess not So basically in a nutshell I think Microsoft by waiting out Sony a little bit longer Has effectively won the next generation, the 4K generation console war They're going to be so much more powerful And Nick is standing there because We never actually did our sponsor spots for this week's LAN show Which we will definitely do right now Discord is an all-in-one voice and text chat for gamers It's free, it's secure And a tier set for priests in World of Warcraft And it works on both your desktop and your phone They have an encrypted server to client communication method that keeps your IP safe And they have DDoS protection, something Skype could surely use With automatic server failover You can share images, video, and links from your desktop or phone And Discord embeds most media directly in the chat Although GIFs only play when you mouse over them, which is probably a good idea With some of the GIFs that I've seen GIFs GIFs That I've seen people share in gaming chats This is how like, Captain America Civil War starts GIFs, GIFs, GAH It takes 10 seconds to set up and doesn't require any drivers And you can run it in your browser if desired So if you're looking for a great free voice and text chat Check out Discord at the link below The link unfortunately isn't provided in my WAN show notes So hopefully Nick is on his way back up to his computer to post it or something Are you a GIF person? At this moment I am a whatever makes you mad person Oh, okay Speaking of making you mad GIF makes me really mad Lynda.com Used by millions of people around the world Why does Lynda make me mad? If I get my talking points wrong because you love Lynda so much I actually do Lynda is used by thousands of people around the world They have more than three courses available on topics like That's not wrong Glittering your iPhone That's wrong Cleaning out the feet of your horse and What? And Well Flattering your significant others Beautiful Aww If you used one of their courses to write a program that like Oh, here we go A lot of people how to clean the feet of their horses Okay, so what Lynda.com actually does I think Nick's coming out to yell at me for not using the real talking points It's used by millions of people around the world It's used by millions of people around the world It has more than 3,000 courses available on topics like Web development, photography, visual design, business, video editing, software training for software like Excel, Word, Wordpress and Photoshop Word and Wordpress not related actually All courses are taught by industry experts with new courses added every week So whether the idea is to take your hobby to the next level You want to you know learn the rule of thirds for photography Or whether the idea is to like get a job like some of the people who actually legit work here at Linus Media Group Taron was even doing premier tutorials not that long ago Because brushing up on the basics can be a great way to explore new tools One of the coolest things in my opinion I like this if you're working alongside the video So if it's like do this do that or it teaches you how to do something you want to try it and go back to it There is a text version of the script and you can click on the text version of the script and have it bring you to that part of the video Which is actually super cool They've got a 10 day trial that lets you access every course on Lynda.com and it's free And all you got to do is head over to Lynda.com slash WAN Show for that aforementioned trial and start learning today Plan started only 25 bucks a month It's a heck of a lot cheaper than BCIT that's for sure Yes It is So thanks for watching the WAN Show guys we'll see you shortly at the very short after party where Luke tells me actually as much as you guys Spoiler alert about the Warcraft movie We're live
