Luke's head and Luke's cardboard body were lined up so well that my brain kept forgetting he wasnt there

Pretty sure "You can fascinate a woman with a piece of cheese" was written about my wife. The day I proposed, I took her on "The Cheesiest Date Ever™". First, we went to a semi-local specialty cheese store and got a bunch of random strange cheeses. Second, we went to The Melting Pot (fondue restaurant chain in the US) Then, we went to Costco and got a big bag of babybels. Afterwards, we went to the park where we first met so we could walk around the trail and eat more cheese. During one of our mid-walk snack breaks, I grabbed us each a babybel from my pocket. She happily munched on hers, and then I got on one knee, unwrapped my "babybel" which was actually a 3d printed ring box wrapped with a ribbon and dipped in red wax to look like a babybel, and proposed. She said yes! That was about 3 years ago.

27:49 if linus was in a south park episode it would 1000% be called Trust Me Bro

I feel like the pen should have been called 'The Write Off"...

1:24:50 I just gained a whole new level of respect for Elijah for putting that so insightfully. I don't get into loot boxes or skins, but that statement of "It's only the top 1000 that matter, so if you can't make it there, your next chance is to look cool, and look like you belong." It's a horrible, and I hate the companies seizing on this, but it does really explain for me why so many people buy into their favourite game's MTX.

1:24:55 Elijah brining out his savant tier knowledge of modern gaming mechanics.

With snapchat there is plenty of ways to screenshot without alerting the person you have done it. Don't send things you don't want the world to see.

These short WAN shows are becoming an unfortunate trend.

That sponsorship agreement must’ve had a lot of zeros in it to convince Linus to bring back scrapyard wars, *and announce it before filming* .

1:33:12 - In the US at least, children are basically exempt from almost all child labor laws if they're working for a family business. This is particularly common in rural communities where children will work long hours on family farms, often without any kind of compensation.

I’ll take the 3 hours lets goooo 📈📈

1:03:23 who gets to decide what's a cheat and what's a mod? I know slippery slope is a fallacy, but you know EA and the like are gonna use that. For example, now they want to put ads in games. Imagine them suing someone who makes a mod to remove them with this precedent

I think one of the reasons why Valve doesn't do the after death this, could be to avoid abuse and such, because someone would have to verify that the person has actually died, which is just a lot of extra work. Much easier to just write out your username and password.

The technical difficulties paper behind Luke's head is amazing

Leases land is a scam. Its not even like its all reclaimed into pubic interest. Its just resold for some guy to take all your money.

AG1 sponsorships are going to kill me. The two most common nutrient deficiencies are iron and vitamin d, things ag1 does not address. Most of the other ingredients within ag1, while the dosing information isn’t entirely provided because it’s a “propriety blend” cannot all be present in the minimum effective dosing

My dad bought a shop that said it came with a flat, however they failed to mention that the flat was paying £10 per year and there was a 1000 year lease on it because the woman that owned the store gave it away to a friend who immediatly sold it and this all happend just as my dad was filling in the paperwork.

This is why I have a pad in my drawer with my passwords on it. If I die my family can use my steam account, it's not like steam is going to know I'm dead. 😅

Linus please also host wan show with Elijah. Loved his opinions and thoughts about the topic

Linus is in South Park a long time already, he's called IKE there 😅

Gaming and console was way more expensive than it is now when you adjust them to inflation.

15:00 the reason I have a premium family plan is because there's no easy AdBlock on TV

Strange to not hear an update to the Rabbit R1 basically being compleatly debunked and proven a scam

Luke lines up impressively well with his body 😁

1:42:00 I think one of the reasons the Asian market was so adverse, especially for luxury items, was that if you buy second hand the likelyhood that you're getting a fake was extremely high because of how many more fakes there were than real ones. The entire concept of 代購 or personal import resale was as much about finding cheaper prices as it was guaranteeing that you got an authentic product. Now that you've got a lot of genuine product in the hands of consumers, the confidence of second hand buyers are higher.

2:20:26 With RU-vid ReVanced, you can patch in custom playback speeds. You're able to choose the patches you want, so you could just use playback speed plus a couple others like return RU-vid dislike, but leave out things like ad block, for example.

Which episode of X-Files was Linus in? It's not on imdb and I can't find anything through search. This could be a good excuse to watch it again 🙂

Dan! We need a Title safe zone across the bottom 20% so when I pause the video to read a merch message, the controls don't cover their words.

I love that Luke was hesitant to tell Linus the time where he was. It shows his brain has been conditioned to think in terms of security haha. "Is this going to dox my vacation spot?" Then deciding that a time zone is probably safe enough to share haha

I prefer 16:9 on everything, leave the safety on the sides so smartphoners can crop in. Because on Desktop RU-vid doesn't even have crop in.

no ones really talking about it so I want to say I really appreciate Elijah talking about his experience, and also his different perspective on stuff. I always said I wouldn't spend money on cosmetics, and then found myself spending more money than I want to acknowledge doing exactly that and finding ways to justify it! Now I've stopped I still feel the temptation to spend that money, and its really hard not to sometimes. Its just not black and white for everybody, saying "just don't buy it" or "thats dumb, why would you do that" is not constructive as you said. What would be constructive is putting more measures in place to stop the predatory advertisment methods that target those of us vunerable to gambling addiction, and more resources for us to learn how to navigate that feeling when we struggle. Thanks for the honesty Elijah 👍

1:01:50 the security theater might actually serve a purpose as with trade secrets (at least in my country) a big determining factor is how "secret" the suspect had to consider the information to be. Locking you from taking screenshots is an indication that some information is protected and would directly help the company's case if someone kept such information.

The discussion on the permanent lease for real estate actually reminds me of one of the start ups I worked for leasing servers. After I asked why we leased the servers I found out there was no discount to it, so we paid the same price and after 3 years we had to send the servers back to the vendor and lease new servers. The most bizarre thing was we also learned that the "keep your drive" option we paid for only applied to replacements and not when returning the server, so we still had to do the work of securely erasing all the data ourselves. Personally I would have liked them to just give away the old servers to employees but I guess having capital expenses looks bad or something stupid like that. I would say it's crazy to me that this practice also occurs in real estate, but we had multiple millions of dollars in servers so while the resale value is obviously different we're still talking about flushing away a lot of money.

As for the edge not allowing screenshots thing, I worked in a place that had over the top security, everything internet related was on a whitelist basis, we weren't allowed our phones, or even a pen or a piece of paper etc... and this feature would change absolutely nothing, because it was already predetermined how and to whom we can send files from the device and if I sent something I shouldn't via email to someone else in the company, it would instantly come back to bite me (and that someone else if they didn't report it upon receiving it). The only way to capture anything was to physically sneak in a device or something.

Naming schemes should just be based on the year it was released in. OS have been doing it, like Windows 24H2, released in 2024, second half. Ubuntu 24.04, released in 2024 April. Samsung Galaxy S series, S20 released in 2020, S21 in 2021 etc etc. So why the FUCK, cant everything be this way? Nvidia RTX 24, AMD Ryzen 24, Intel Core Ultra 24, OMFG ITS SO SIMPLE!

Interesting hearing from Elijah, and I appreciate him being willing to have the conversation. Very educational for someone who isn't in that world at all.

If anyone finds the X Files episode where Linus is an extra, please do drop the Season/Episode name!

Intel: we've killed all the younglings Linus: intels worst sin is their naming scheme Definitely something said in an alternate timeline

Cheat creators losing these suits is, sadly, NOT good: Cheats are bad, but it sets precedence against DRM circumvention and software modification which can be cited against modders and the developers of emulators: While not the exact same situation, the Yuzu lawsuit Nintendo filed actually cited their case against Gary Bowser, who made hacking devices for the Nintendo Switch, for example

The problem with digital games, they dont deteriorate with age, Cassettes, Floppies, CDs, Carts all age and brake down over time thus making the ones that survive rare and worth the purchase price. Digital takes up Server space & bandwidth to access (yes its only a code but people like me with 1K + games its still all data to be stored and times that by the amount of steam users, its alot of data, and to get pulled up at a moments notice for eternity seems unreasonable) so i do sort of understand why steam does it this way. I dont like it, give me a option to get the game sent to me on a USB flash drive or even made into cds and i will pay it. and i mean the full game, license code and all without the steam account being needed. I WILL PAY FOR SUCH SERVICE! But its now just all digital, even retail boxed copies!

The rent of a CS2 skin to demo is so ridiculous when you realize that Valve also has Dota 2 in which you can actually demo skins in-game to see how they look

I work in a factory. The simple description of my job is putting tape on boxes. But a lot of what we do is material identification, loading, processing, printing without damaging the printers (most times). A lot of judgement calls per hour. I don't see robots doing that anything soon. While robots make the stuff... cutting... printing... the quality control and packaging is still human driven. Although at this pay grade, quality is very subjective.......

2:43:00 The autonomous farming thing has a big issue though - the way farming machines are being partially automated now (primarily based on GPS) is massively subject to both solar storm interference and also civilian/military messing around with spoofing. Unless the industry moves to redundant systems, you will have problems just like happened last month during a massive geomagnetic storm - lots of harvesters/similar equipment just stopped on the fields because location data was unreliable. In one place I've seen, folks had been suggesting using GPS RTK systems instead (where you have a bunch of base stations nearby with known position, so you get both higher accuracy and resilience in case the GPS signal goes wonky, as you have N local known points of reference for navigation), perhaps based on things like Wifi or Lora.

As someone who struggled for years with fomo and loot box issues.... I am right there with the guy.

The amount of time people have said to me "its an i5 so its still pretty powerful" - 12 year old laptop.

1:00:48 my company does not allow us to copy paste text from teams or emails, as well as pictures on our company phone, but we can still take screenshots with the default screenshot function.

Thank you guys so much for talking to an actual zoomer who does fall into the gambling trap and fomo traps of loot boxes. I honestly wish you guys would do a whole series on that because the chasm between people who don't fall for it and people who do is enormous and as someone in the middle - I bought a lot with path of exile but I was confident it was VERY ethically set up, but I've never bought anything in fortnite or any free-to-start game because if it's unethical I know it's designed to eat me - it's always so sad to see how both sides never really get the other side. It would actually be really cool to line up other wan show guests for conversations like this from your own staff - now that you have over 100 employees you probably have an interesting spread of people who could help keep the conversation relevant to younger folks, too

put your money on luke to win scrapyard wars. the guy who hasnt bought a gaming pc since he was a kid but still has a baller gaming sys all the time knows how to get pc gear for nothing. also, how does comments let me down? nobody mentions the exact episode/timestamp of the x files episode linus was in?

Companies being people is probably the dumbest hack of all time. As I understand it it was done as people owned stuff so instead of rewriting things that non people could own things we just made companies people and it probably was the biggest fuck up in the history of trying to avoid work in all time.

58:00 It doesn't even have to be a workplace where phones aren't allowed. It can be as simple as a lot of workplaces are where you are not allowed to take any photos on the premises and you WILL get caught attempting it since there are monitored security cameras everywhere.

Both AMD and Intel needs to fire whoever is in charge of marketing, or naming these products, its ridiculous. So bad that i wonder if whoever is in charge, if they have ever built a PC?

I'm so ready for the return of scrapyard wars! Have re-watched the first edition probably a good 10 times already 😂 Still the best one imo with the surprised Linus when he finds out that Luke got a R9 290

Cheat makers losing I think it bad. I could see Nintendo and other console makers going after people who make mods for their console games. While it's not a hack how gamers would see it, would the courts see anything different?

The bad part about Ahri skin is that it's made do commemorate the best profesional player ever and hee gets like $30 out of $500. Also, FAKER is THE GUY that had a skin made for winning the worlds with his team and waited it to get promoted to buy because he said the full price was too much ($5 - $10). So not only it does not match at all with the values of the guy the skin is made for, but also the game is in a terrible state with a lot of game braking bugs, lot of unannounced micropatches. They make massive changes every month, you have no stability. Not to mention that they do this almost pay-to-win things where they mega buff champions before skins are released, beyond the point of overpowered. For example, Ahri ultimate is 3 dashes that does dmg. Not only they lowered cooldown to about 2 minutes at lvl 1 (game is 30-50 minutes), they introduced a item that lowers the ultimate even more, and her general best items have all cooldown reduction. To the point she have it every 30 seconds, and the cooldown timer starts after the first dash (she can hold each dash after the first one for a 10 seconds) and for each kill /assists she gets another dash. So in a teamfight you can have 8 dashes. I was sure that she will be the next money cow for riot, i started perma ban her way before the skin is announced.

@30:58 Yay for scrapyard wars. special note to Jawa. There are certain categories missing for old/legacy parts. I have not listed some of my cool legacy parts because I can’t find the category I am looking for. Maybe you can help Jawa organize some legacy categories.

I like how Luke deflects the engagement idea question, because his girl is sitting across form him and he either doesn't want to spoil his idea to propose to her, or get her hopes up that he is fixing to propose LOL

why are so many people so stuck on phones do everything? main reason i have other devices for games and other devices for music is so that my phone has battery life to make a call in an emergency. phones still don't last a whole day while being used for fairly low power applications why would i want to drain the battery further by hitting it with a heavier load.

I think the complaint about the Edge for Business complaint was silly. There are all kinds of features out there that would be ridiculous to use in most environments, but are useful or even crucial in specific cases.

I use an extension to go past 2x speed, it's actually really cool, plus it works on any website and is as granular as you need. I'm listening in 1.9x right now

That JAWA advertisement with Scrapyard Wars is bloody genius. They‘ll get a ton of used devices I‘m sure

I wish i would have bought the pen when the stream was live because they sold out. Any chance there will be more dropping or was that the only run of them??

Foldable phones may be dumb, but I've been daily driving a Microsoft Surface Duo for about four years, and it is absolutely flippin' amazing. The fact that they canceled the line after the Duo 2 is such a total shame because if Microsoft marketed this within an ounce of relevance, it could have dominated the market. To this day, people look at my phone and are absolutely amazed by how cool it is. Come on, Microsoft Duo3. It needs to happen.

Cant put my games in my will... ok... what if i just put my login info in the will? lol...

I think the worst thing about Intel is that they remove ECC from desktop CPUs and then lie for decades that we don’t need stable memory (until that became the default folklore that people actually believe)

The vód doesn't seem to up on floatplane

One way to propose: bookshop or library and wedge the ring into the top of the book and ask how they like this one. Proposed to my wife at the Morrin Center in Quebec City (a really cool public library) using Canadian Poetry 1920-1960, and she said yes!

Listening on the drive to work. Anyone notice a ding ding anytime audio peaks. Sound like the sound meter is hitting a bell.

that phone call actually sounded ok. maybe Linus should just call Luke on the phone when his internet dumps

You had not enough pens…. Just seen the video go up and I can already just get notified when it’s in stock again… :(

linus is thinking about death very narrowly, what if you love playing a game with your parent or spouse and you lose them suddenly?

Gambling is actually better than Loot Boxes, cuz you actually make MONEY if you win... I do buy the odd skin on COD tho. Lol.

Valve saying that you can't put your game library into your will is actually illegal: there's legal precedent in (surprise! surprise!) Europe, where a court explicitly ruled that they can be 100% inherited.

AMD should start their Bandwagon25 processor series... or the PineStumps alpha series.

34:19: I had an inactive and empty steam account for I'd say 8+ years, and when I logged into it by mistake it worked fine, so maybe they don't straight up kill it like Google does.

Funny how Linus' new Manifest idea is basically the current Brave browser...

It reminds me of the episode of family guy. They try to have a skit reading for stewie lol

Speaking of fast fashion, I recently found something that is the antithesis of this. Patagonia has this portion of their site called worn wear which is where they will buy back gently used Patagonia, repair it, and wash it, and then put it up for sale again at a pretty good discount. They repair your Patagonia for a pretty fair price.

I think Linus muted his mic when eating. Thank you!

Thanks for the update on the Spotify Car Thing! I purchased mine for $48 on a discount and they're refunding me $64! Good guy move!!

26:49 The mannequin cutout already has the what the hell hands up so it's kind of perfect framing South Park would not make fun of Linus and ltt crew. Them folks do good. And have been for years. Solid channel, solid folks, solid info. I would wager they're subscribed.

My father got us Xbox 360 because he wanted Forza. Sometimes a single game really can make you buy a console.

RU-vid’s ads on the app seem especially designed to be accidentally clicked. I’ve clicked so many dumb real estate ads while watching The WAN Show

The Screenshot security thing,... It's not about "Security" regardless of the label. It's about compliance and being able to answer questions in an audit. These sorts of things are required by contract if you are working on a U.S. Government contract and is a constant and giant PITA.

The technical difficulties sign that appears behind the video feed made me cry

Often time when I find companies having a maximum character count for password typically means the passwords are not hashed in whatever database they are stored within. Encrypted? Maybe. but I've not yet seen a password limit on a system that uses properly hashed password, and why would they limit it at that rate.

These WAN shows where one of them isn’t in the studio are not the ones.

You should be able to do whatever you want with the games you bought. Also you can always resell the Atari even if it’s for a few bucks if you don’t play the games.

I'm sure someone has already mentioned, but you're missing a lot of context on the league of legends skin, which honestly just makes it worse. The skin bundle is being launched to celebrate their first inductee to their hall of fame, Faker, who is franky the GOAT. There is a cost share, with him getting 30% of the revenue from the skin sale. That's the only 'upside' to it. The skin itself has a lot of references to him, including an image of him during a taunt (drawn, not photo), icons, and his signature appears around turrets you kill while using the skin (the only truely unique thing about the skin). So, they're trying to capitalize on the emotional connection to him (he's pretty much universally loved and has been a pro player since the pro league started), but more hilariously, he doesn't use skins himself. He's only used a skin in a few games, and it was a mistake (a techie used a skin for the character while fixing a glitch and faker forgot to change it back), and a few times when his team basically cajoleed him into using their group skins (champions get a skin line, and his team has one four times). On top of all this, the skin line is supposed to be 'to commemorate and remember faker', but its a limited time skin that only whales are going to buy, and whales generally don't actually stick around, or even really play the game. So a skin line, meant to celebrate him will likely NEVER be seen after less than a year. None of it makes any sense except as a cash grab.

As a tall screen lover I would love to see things like Short Circuit be done in 4:3. My portable machine is an iPad Pro and my desktop monitor for my PC is an LG OLED TV running everything in 16” windows anyway.

Why does RU-vid use twice as much power as my games running at 120 FPS😢

The hat I want is hyper moisture whicking. I sweat a lot, and a hat that isn't dripping from the brim after an hour outdoors is so hard to find.

Branding by both Companies now is F____D.

I really dislike that the aspect ratio of the vdeos. On mobile you can just zoom in a tiny bit and get rid of the bars but it's not easy to do on desktop.

I'm struggling to piece together Elijah's description of loot box influencing (this part I agree with) vs. Linus' not understanding the enticement factor to purchase (itself not a problem)... on a WAN show where practically every third subject (exaggeration intent) is "buy this from the store". There's some disconnect with the honest conversation vs. the show format: this conversation occurs after a FOMO on a pen. Physical vs. digital doesn't matter in the brain.

2:17:21 About kids no longer having homework. Linus is describing my school experience from 20 years ago! Say in math, teacher would assign a few pages that we should solve the riddles, if we didn't manage that, we'd get that as homework. I would rarely have any school things to do after school.

Scrapyard wars if anything can be made into a "scrapyard rooms" where you both battle to fill a room of an appartment or a space within an appartment with a small number of items

Spotify will issue refunds to The Thing buyers. Good! I hope people still get to jailbreak it and as far as I can tell, some are already succeeding.

I have to use the snipping tool to mark up pictures and blueprints to send to engineering or quality departments on the regular basis.

Original thought from AMD branding wise from the last 5 year: changing their mobile branding system to have the first number indicate the year rather than the generation to obfuscate even more what processor you're buying.
