I’m Big in Taiwan 

yeah... Bilibili gonna take back that plaque now 😂💀

Technically not true, because I am fairly certain he was already on there. Let's be real, if he lived in china he would have probably been disappeared already.

Suppliers for LTT store in China are nervous

West Taiwan has more problems domestically to deal with. They busy right now.

I think he was already on their watchlist for multiple reasons.

Lmao

LMFAOOO

GOTTEM

TBH, Taiwanese men's average height is 172.4cm (5' 787). I think is taller than Linus.

​@@jyunnheikusada7003I am 174 cm. One of the only countries where I would be above average for men lol

THE BUILDER SPOTTED!!!!!!!!!!!

goated builder in comments

Let him cook!

you're the best! great build!!

Did you recognize Linus when he came to your shop?

I like your pfp

Because of your PFP I’m thinking about how a blue striped blue sun flag with the Canadian pale would look.

下次購物完記得去那裏吃個飯 光華商場那裏好有很多好吃的東西

I'm from Tainan, and when we went to Ximending on our graduation trip, I just hopped on the MRT and went straight for Guanghua😂😂

many brands that offer RGB memory also offer cheapish RGB dummy sticks for this reason.

​@@fweaksdid most manufacturers still make those?, i remember Corsair and gskill makes them but never seen one in any way even online

Totally agree. lol

@@fweaks do you know where i can get some? i cant find them anywhere

@@Seizuqi V-Color probably the only one making some dummy kit ram (recently)

The Korean meme is damn strong on this one

I love it

I built my first PC 8 years ago and its still going strong but now my career is in full swing I would happily pay extra for a well built system. The ego of saying I built it myself no longer exists and I'd rather put that time to better use.

@@shanebovell6733 Its not really a new concept depending on how advanced the build is 100-300 bucks

it will be cheaper

​@@shanebovell6733 building em is fun tho!

@@shanebovell6733 Also if a component is faulty I won’t have to go through RMA hell. The one building it can handle that mess for me instead.

The ccp would disagree 😂

ccp aint gonna like this one

@@Recatonyllaer I mean technically speaking, Taiwan sees mainland China as provinces occupied by rogue parties in the same way China sees Taiwan as one rogue province. It's only recently that the younger generation has preferred to be identified as a separate country. It's an odd situation.

-20 social credit

@@Revenant-oq9ts The truth is, Taiwanese was lied and forced occupied by KMT and ROC after WW2. ROC is the invader.

You just gave me ptsd wow bro thanks

Chinese little pinks watching this video Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Can't wait to see the reaction from the bilibili division lol😅

Speaking of 9-dash lines, this is the perfect segue to our sponsor, Squarespace!

RIP LMG Bilibili channel

Fuck yeah i love taiwan

bro theres always will be shops that tries to rip you off wherever it is.

Hope tipping culture never comes. It is beyond irritating and is just a way for employers to lower pay, pay less tax, and pocket more themselves.

@@curtisbme it is supposed to reduce the price of the food, but these days it has just become subsidy for living wage.

​@@ChipperMcManus Tipping has never, ever been about reducing the price of food. That wouldn't even make sense for someone to claim as it literarily increases the price of it in restaurants over the listing.

so you have dual citizenship

@@realcartoongirl nope, I'm currently holding a entrepreneur permit in Taiwan, it's required a 5 years stay to get a citizenship, so I'm getting my taiwan citizenship in 2026, which I had to give-up my Singapore citizenship at that time

@@chicken1995tw fail

Cars passing by on turns has been much better recently due to new laws with hefty fines 😆

Yes, Taiwan’s traffic is bad, but believe or not it got much better in the past two years because of the new laws and related discussions. Mainly, cars and scooters have to yield to pedestrians…. For example, in the past, only 60% or less chance to almost 99% if you are on major streets in Taipei. Still far from perfect, but you can see the changes each year.

India:

As a Taiwanese, I can certainly confirm that the traffic is still terrible in Taiwan although it had improved in the past few years.

Subways are great. Other than that everything is terrible.

Don't worry, the US government isn't going to let Taiwan down if China invaded you guys. Believe it or not even without TSMC, Taiwan is geographically very important to the US. Failing that: most US citizens would be very angry at our government if they didn't protect you guys.

The American factory is a fraction of TSMC's home base capacity, they are having a hard time getting skilled workers who never take vacations or days off ever, and DEI requirements slapped on by this administration have actually caused some companies to turn away from the CHIPS act and build their factories elsewhere. Intel has just started building one in Israel.

From what I hear the Taiwan fabs are still going to be producing the high end chips, while our US fab will mainly focus on the stuff that goes in most common consumer products. At least for a few years. We may eventually scale up to the high end stuff, but it will be a generation or two behind Taiwan.

Pretty cheap once you get there though.

then get a job

​@@realcartoongirl The privilege is strong with this one...

@@realcartoongirl getting a job that can pay for a plane ticket and a temporary living situation in Taiwan, while paying for car payments + gas, house payments + utilities, and groceries, without counting for anything like car + house repairs, and especially not little luxuries, is near impossible without external help such as rich parents, or family friends who can give you a good enough job. Not everybody has that.

​@@meerbee2910 not necessarily with help from others. With a bit of luck and hard work you might make it, but it's definitely not a given

Imagine the entire China could be like that if not for the communists.

@@solarissv777 Taiwan was part of Japan before 1945. The government from China KMT actually made Taiwan worse than what it could have been. Taiwan was already better than China before 1945. It is not the recent things. One example of the bad things that was brought to Taiwan after 195 was the crappy buildings around Taiwan. Taiwan was pretty in 1930s. Use keywords such as Taihoku Formosa to find out.

@@bctvanw what was it? here comes the pig after the dog?

1946 TIME “Formosans greeted the few visiting Americans with: “You were kind to the Japanese, you dropped the atom on them. You dropped the Chinese on us!” Thoughtful Chinese on the mainland began to agree with the Formosans. Said Ta Rung Pao, China’s counterpart of the New York Times: “Fundamentally speaking, China was not qualified to take over . . . she lacks the men . . . technique . . . commodities . . . capital. She governs, but is inefficient. She takes, but she does not give. This is the government’s shame.” Most foreign observers in Formosa agreed that if a referendum were taken today Formosans would vote for U.S. rule. Second choice-Japan.” 1949 TIME “ At night, electric lights -rare in rural Asia-twinkled from the modest huts of tiny villages. By day many villagers not needed in the fields worked in the small industrial plants that dot the island. Compared to mainland Chinese, the Formosans were well off. Nevertheless they were grumbling. In guarded whispers they spoke of the “good old days” of Japanese rule.” “Pigs Just Eat. This resentment is grounded partly in the psychology of a colonial people whose standards of living, general educational level and technical proficiency were raised well above the standards of their mainland Chinese brethren. The Japanese, for example, trained 30,000 Formosan doctors, more than the number in all the rest of China. But when the mainland Chinese took over the island, they did not even treat the Formosans as equals, but as “liberated” inferiors. The result is that even thoughtful Formosans now say: “We think of the Japanese as dogs and the Chinese as pigs. A dog eats, but he protects. A pig just eats.” Many Formosans want complete independence for their island-to be gained by revolution or any other means. Others talk of “autonomy under a good Chinese government,” neither Nationalist nor Communist. A third group favors a U.S. mandate.”

@@bctvanw it's just so ironic to me as Japanese

I swear I had videos just simply not appear on the subscriptions tab before, defeats it's whole purpose imo

notifications annoy you so much? Lmao

glad I wasn't the only one who thought of it from the title

lol, first thing I thought of

same

I have only ever heard the Eiffel 65 remix.

First thing in my head when I read the title. lol

OH I NEED THAT

@@illuminoeye_gamingmhmm!

as a Taiwanese, i can tell you the worker in TSMC are banned to bring anything that can take a photo into company, even the smartphone. Instead they will have a TSMC phone and that phone seems like nokia 3310 without camera

@@er-nuo6760 Come on, it's normal, I was a stage artisan, I don't get to take picture and post it online even I was part of the stage crew of some child drama for charity, not to mention a mutli-billions worth of tech

@@keiming2277it’s actually way more than that. Even the employees are not allowed to bring in smart phones and USB flash drives. If you want to use a smart phone, you would need to use a company approved one. I got a tour at TSMC in college and they collect your phones at the entrance

Or they will, but will they let him out - that is the question

It depends man if it's a chain appliance store the employees probably can't do that Individual sellers can rip you off or block you when you have a problem too

@@simon_96 that isn’t my experience with individual sellers, the only problem is if the individual seller goes out of business or closes shop

@@MichaelSidneyTimpson I've bought a roached Xbox series and only found out after a while and the sob second hand gaming shop was very rude to me and blocked me. My dad always buys a pc from a near by shop and one time they put a GPU different from requested and when brought back to change it out they charged for the GPU we wanted in the first place. There are more examples involving salesperson or home renovation people or mechanics etc. Some scummy shop still exist and if they determine the risk of getting exposed or the customer have a lot of trust in them then they might try to screw you over.

@@simon_96 just to clarify, you are talking about Taiwan, right?

@@MichaelSidneyTimpson I'm Taiwanese

Linus did make a video about syntrend before. But it's clearly for a different purpose.

Looking forward to your visits!

Nah, unless you specifically demanded shops to throw away the boxes and spare parts, it standard practice in Taiwan to hand over everything to you after you purchased your PC. First it has more to do with parts warranty where you have to provide the copy of the invoice and send in the complete set back if there are any problems. Second, it makes it easier for the customer to seek help with another store for after purchase services as you have all the spare parts and the other shop owners can just configure it back to default if anything fails and you need a quick and easy fix.

@@mahoslash That's what I said. It's standard to hand over everything because it is all treated as purchasing the parts retail. Not as a PC.

Don't be, you still have something over Linus- you don't drop things
