I've worked for 5 different large IT companies and they all use M365. Most of my friends in IT use M365 at their company. The exceptions are all medium sized companies.
@@ShimonDanilov Microsoft 365 is a subscruption service which includes Windows, Office, Azure, Intune, and a bunch more. It's kind of the successor to Office 365, but also much more.
Yeh - similarly to you, IT worker for the last ~15 years. The shift to O365/M365 has been slow but steady, almost nobody uses anything else these days. Not a bad thing I think. The platform is solid overall.
In all the companies I worked for they were using or migrating to M365, BUT it sucks and everyone hates it and complains about it, especially people who used Gsuite in the past. Outlook is one of the worst things I have ever worked with and it legit made me hate checking and using my work email.
26:46 Office365 is actually pretty big and people use outlook in that all the time given it's part of the subscription. sure for home use it's stupid, but for business use it actually works quite well. and the azure cloud intergration meaning you actually have a way to admin it, without having to set up an exchange environment, cause that SUCKS
@G T That will be going away in the future though. I love the snappiness of the lightweight UWP app, but there's a lot of clunk in the design too. The Mail and Calendar apps will be getting replaced with Project Monarch. (ie. a standalone app version of the Outlook web codebase)
I would agree. I do not understand how they can say "who uses outlook?"` Shows that they have never worked in a big company. All of them use outlook. If properly integrated with teams it is a breeze to use. Book appointments directly from Outlook or Teams. Calender sync and you see the status of the person you are contacting in either App. Filesharing via drag and drop in Teams (via Azure). Direct videocall to everybody in the company, with screensharing if needed. You can pull everybody later into a call if you need more people. You can also set up the videocalls so people from other companies than your own can join in. The ability for big companoes to host the Outlook and Teams servers on their hardware (data security).

I can’t explain how important the “I’m sorry, I might have misunderstood” is in my business. Placing blame in situations can make a conversation very confrontational, very quickly.
As to the backpack carabiner failure, I *used* to use a carabiner for my keychain ... and they fail. A lot. So I am in no way surprised. I have never seen such a failure-prone concept as the carabiner. I can only hope that people who actually rope climb have better carabiners. As for me, I switched to a quick link. (That chain link with the screw closure.) Those hold up so much better. A decade later and my original quick link on my keychain is still holding solid! Linus and LTT staff, please please please consider replacing your backpack carabiner with a quick link.
I love the idea of Luke walking into the Abyss, playing chirping noises on his phone, and asking have you seen my bird. And people just avoiding that at all cost.
For doing actual work Outlook stomps on Gmail. Them giving outlook nonsense had me interested that they might suggest something better, because outlook is still terrible, but Gmail is just no... Sheets etc is also garbage against Office.
You see this sometimes, they exist in a niche tech bubble when it comes to how a lot of tech is used and really aren't that great at relating to segments of users who have use case's outside of those Linus, Luke et al are familiar with. I mean the Mac studio and apple silicon has been a game changer for Audio production and they haven't been able to understand that.
The only companies I've worked for that used Gmail as their office suite were companies that were too cheap to purchase the licensing. Working for index companies, Fortune companies, they use Microsoft office as a suite.
Same, I do get that not alot of people daily it though. I tried it on my phone when I was trying to degoogle my life a bit (I realize I'm still on Android, alas), and I really like it to be honest! I'm not a fan of using on the desktop, although perhaps that's just because I associate with using my work's absurdly slow remote desktop connection, but I like its widgets, that the calendar is integrated into a single app with the email, and a few other things.
Yeah universal sign on into Microsoft based accounts at large institutions is a thing, and you mostly can’t even sync the emails to the phone mail apps anymore. You have to use outlook
@@trickycoolj I wouldn’t be too surprised if part of that is due to - from my understanding - M365 using offsite hosting versus hosting your own exchange server. Managing potential data spillage is a large concern for any company working in defense as they need to be able to purge (to DCSA’s requirement) any leaked data.
@@shinaikouka m365 has options for this - GCC. It’s a data center / server infrastructure that is completely hosted and maintained by US Citizens. It’s a requirement in most US DOD contractors.
My dad was working on Google Fiber when they were trying to set it up in San Jose. The way Google management handled the telecom companies they contracted to setup the infrastructure seemed to be a large reason why it's been such a stop-start process to actually get the project rolled out to more places
In my experience with small fiber companies, they are all skeleton crews that work in bursts when city permits for new areas are approved, and do individual house hookups in existing coverage areas when waiting on red tape.
I tried reaching out on behalf of municipal for Google Fiber to try and get them out to our town, and received a lot of "maybe in the future" from them even after getting a lot of leg work out of the way (space on the poles was secured, had meetings with dark fiber providers that serviced the area, had local buisness show support for getting, etc). So it wasn't surprising that they didn't make any progress.
I guess to elaborate my point, Google did a lot of big leaguing and anytime my dad or other managers from the contracted company told Google "it can't be done the way you want, it needs to be done this way", the response was generally "do it our way because we're Google". Also, they weren't even in the camp of throw more money at the problem to solve it, even if they ran into more expenses than expected. Just a weird superiority to the whole operation.
It's funny how Oura is Finnish and their own videos pronounce it totally different from how locals pronounce it, but since it's a stylized version of an ancient Finnish/Swedish word "Ora", which means a couple of different things like a rock of sorts, a thorn or a cobbler's awl, they've gone that way and locals pronounce it "Oh-ra" as Finns tend to pronounce things as they're written - like literally everything - cause that's how Finnish is pronounced.
Yea, that was someting. I've been doing contract IT work for almost 20 years and have worked with hundreds and hundreds of companies in that time. Nearly all of them use M365/Hosted Exchange/Outlook. It's very very rare that I see GSuite in the wild or any other alternative for that matter. In the workplace Outlook is nearly ubiquitous.
I've done internships at ~5 companies and the only ones that use Google suites are small ones that don't have a ton of organization or need for emails internally. Outlook was always used at bigger and more established places and when it was configured properly it was so nice to use. Everything just works together
That's pretty remarkable. I've used Outlook since high school when it DEFINITELY wasn't cool, and in general it's a very powerful tool, especially if you have multiple inboxes. I hate web-based email clients, especially now since a lot of them are loaded with ads. Plus, the like 2 businesses that were too cheap for O365 and used Gsuite all hated it.
Exchange/Desktop Outlook is so much better than Gmail for business communication and Outlook Calendar for setting up meetings. Maybe Linus was thinking about the Outlook web client vs Gmail. I think Gmail is only better for an end user if they like web based UI and faster search results. Outlook desktop still relies on offline indexing via windows search.
Teams is horrific though...like they have no idea what they want it to be. It's like how Windows' multi-monitor support is utter trash even though the whole OS is called WINDOWS and you can't even save window positions natively. They're an utter shit show.
Ditched Gmail on my phone and never been happier. Probably better apps around, but Outlook does the job plenty for me. I'm a mere non-business user, though, and I rarely write emails, mostly a reception-box usage. But I have like 6 accounts from 3 services (gmail, hotmail and yahoo), and yeah I have no trouble keeping up with my mail. Spam filter is good for me and I set specific accounts and senders for push notifications. It also integrates well with the Microsoft authenticator. All my accounts are interconnected with 2FA and I love the simple flow of the auth process. Desktop Mail is cool too but I do most of my email reading on my phone. Again probably better solutions but it's been great for me. Certainly better than Gmail. Don't recall exactly why but I was fed up one day and just ditched it all, I'm sure I wrote a review mentioning why. Still have my accounts and all, but now I view them through Outlook.
Dude outlook is by and large THE mail app for the overwhelming majority of the professional business world. I've done MSP work and the only places that ran google apps were those non-profits that were grandfathered into the free 50 license tier that came out like 15 years ago. That tier is now gone completely and those orgs needed to pay. Most migrated to O365 for the additional features and support.
I was weirded out by them saying outlook isn't used - perhaps for personal mail - but it's the standard for large(and medium) enterprises If they're paying for teams and office suite/365, might as well get everything else MS offers at a discount
Every school email I have seen is google based (both K-12 and university). But my university announced earlier this year it was ending Drive support for all their emails so maybe they are switching to Outlook. Drive is such an integral part of group work I couldn't imagine projects without it or a replacement.
@@An4lAvenger if they migrate to Microsoft, theyll have OneDrive (Microsoft equivalent) and all office apps. So instead of docs, word online, sheets becomes Excel, etc. all are collaborative live documents so multiple people can work on one doc Universities get heavy discounts for Microsoft from my understanding - especially with the boom of teams given the pandemic
I administer Exchange at work and use outlook privately at home. I have a gmail account but I just let it fill up with spam. I think outlook/exchange (online) is the greatest e-mail combo ever created. Even on the nonbusiness private accounts you can add custom domains and hundreds of mail rules fairly easily.
I just want to say that this video saved my life yesterday. I had a seizure where my heart rate went to over 190 bps induced by physical overload and did not stop for several hours. While I was suffering and trying to get it down, I turned on this show and kept listening to it for nearly two hours. In the end I was somehow able to stop it while concentrating on this show. After visiting a cardiologist, I was told I should've called an ambulance because this was dangerous. Thanks to WAN show and keep going!
Yeah. I use outlook daily, nothing web based even holds a torch to it. I wouldn’t say they made me mad in this segment, just frustrated they feel the need to continue to speak about things they DO NOT actually know…
@@WhatTheHellIsWrongWithYouu it is a nice reminder for me to take everything they say as entertainment rather than concrete information. So many times they miss the mark when talking about professional environments outside their own.
@@ecyor_ Yup, it becomes problematic though, when i hire junior sysadmins/helpdesk people and i see these same views. They believe it because someone on the internet says it. Its difficult to train that out of them
@@ecyor_ The thing is, when they say something as blatantly stupid as this, it undermines peoples faith in everything else, which ultimately hurts the channel. Your average viewer knows that every business they've ever worked with uses MS365 and office, so they know it's nonsense, but there's a bunch of other stuff we watch that we don't have personal experience of so rely on the channel getting it right. Confidence is king with media channels like this surely?
Outlook for desktop is amazing. I use visual basic macros to greatly streamline my work. I wouldn't switch to any other client. Especially Gmail. And no I don't use a Microsoft email address for my personal email. I use another mail provider and feed it in to Outlook.
i hope you only run macro's you know you can trust then, because ooh boy, is that ever a security risk.. there are even two new vulnerabilities that utilize macro's and templates in word to do remote code execution and gain priviliged access to your workstation. seriously, if there is any other way to do what you need to, i reccomend doing that and not using macro's. if theree isn't well, you are stuck with it, but be very vigilant
This is the way. Gsuite to host and Outlook to interact for me. I'd kill myself if I had to use a web based email client. If I had to use Sheets instead of Excel I'd kill everyone else.
I'd be worried about potential metal fatigue issues with the fancy replacement carabiner option, especially in the side-to-side movement. It might be okay, but it's definitely something to be sure of.
01:03:00 - The tip on email etiquette is great. It's both interesting and educational learning about the behind the scenes of LMG. Thank you for sharing!
26:40 yes it is, any e-mail I get with a work invite gets a tentative entry in my calendar automatically, and it will also who up in Teams. The best part of the Outlook-Teams integration is I don't need to use Outlook. A majority of larger companies will pretty much universally use Outlook-Teams because they will get the Office subs and need to have Azure AD anyways for managing the devices, it does make it difficult for competition to enter the market. As an e-mail client, Gmail is still better, especially for personal, for Calendar, Outlook/Teams is substantially better, Google keeps breaking integrations.
Someone in upper management got their knickers in a twist about something that didn't need to be an issue That's how it usually goes, usually with a dose of miscommunication thrown in
Personally I think companies just have to expect different people will pronounce your name differently, even in sponsored content. I great example for this is car brands like Hyundai, Porsche or even more extreme for abbreviation company names like BMW, VW, HP, IBM where everybody just spells it in their language anyway. It is absolutely unavoidable given the amount of different languages on this planet.
Clearly both companies need to learn from this and implement plans to communicate correct pronunciation of brand names. Like the issue with the backpack zipper pull, it's a problem which should be fairly obvious, but isn't until it crops up as a real world issue.
for the reflective backpack, on the rain cover, use a retroreflective material from 3M or Reflexite/Orafol. Have it sown on to the outside layer to a double layered cover. You could make the cover black and have a nice orange strip. I would recommend avoiding glass bead "ink" which is the stuff that is grey and has a rough feel.
The thing with the Oura issue that puzzles me is that they supposedly were aware of Linus's usage of the product and him talking about it frequently. It was no secret that he read it the way he did. Sure, I still think that LTT should have checked, but I also feel like Oura should have sent something saying "Hey btw, you've been pronouncing it wrong. This is how it's said"
The whole thing is stupid, the whole pay for a domain with an A forgets the fact that it's a Finnish company with an accented O. World does not revolved around English pronunciation when dealing with an non English language company.
@@wstr4929a Spanish would have the same pronunciation as the one Linus used. It is stupid to assume that an English speaking influencer that has multiple instances of mispronouncing the name publicity would suddenly get it right if.
@@Fernando-ek8jp Linus is in Canada, grew up in Ontario I think? French is there and has OU (means where) and does not sound like what he was using. He shouldn't assume anything and have someone look it up or ask company rep they were talking to.
@@krylesangerbeaver I don't think you understand the point. (side note, how's the "ou" sound pronounced in "oui"? "ou" (where) is pronounced JUST as Linus has used it. Same with "sous") Yes, Linus should have done better. I'm not arguing against that. It's the reaction that I find baffling, specially given that Linus has a PUBLIC HISTORY of getting the name wrong. Shouldn't you, if you're wanting to use a third party to promote a product, also want to make sure some of the basics are settled? I just think that Oura overreacted with the response.
I legitimately enjoy hearing Luke nerd out about Budgies, I have 6 amazing hens but people think I'm nuts when I talk about the antics of Nugget the super friendly chicken 😂
@@ShadowRubberDuck they are a hybrid breed called Goldline, pretty much the standard for British egg layers, but they are super friendly & inquisitive, with distinct personalities 🙂
@@richardwinstanley8219 Outlook does do one thing that has helped me before. If it sees that your email is talking about an attachment and you try to send the email without one, it’ll ask if you meant to attach something before sending. It has saved my bacon a time or two! (Not that I couldn’t just send a follow-on email with it, but you don’t want to be that person!)
@@shinaikouka Love that feature! I don't typically use a desktop client to view my emails, but I've yet to find a better client than Outlook for when I do. I've tried Thunderbird and a dozen other options, but for filtering my inbox into folders, Outlook is the gold standard. The amount of control and customization you have over filter rules is insane, and if you have a Microsoft account (mine are almost all 'live' accounts), those rules actually get pushed to the server side.
There is nothing wrong with having opposing views on things but you could have said this exact thing without targeting the look on someone's face. Your response isn't that of a casual conversation about the relevance of Outlook, it's that of someone who felt attacked personally and there's no reason...
@@michaelrogers897 I haven't used outlook on a daily basis in years. I can promise you I didn't feel personally attacked. My comment was in response to his smirk. Considering your response was over twice as long as my entire comment it may have been you that felt personally attacked.
Carabiner replacement idea! The same exact custom design, because it looks cool. But just have a slot or lock at the end so it doesn't move side to side when in the closed position. And strengthen the hinge pin.
I'd personally be concerned with fatigue failure of that titanium part through microcrack propagation over time if it's exposed regular to significant deflection shown in this vid.
@G T yes all depends on the loading. Assuming it's very lightly loaded and treated with respect as it should be then it'd be fine, so in actuality it should be ok.
@G T I bought a pair of titanium frames, very expensive. There are thin pieces that outstretch to hold the nose pads. After about a month, one of them just snapped off, almost cut my nose. Thankfully the company replaced them free of charge. But I didn't wear that pair of glasses much and went back to my old backup frames because despite how lightweight they are, the material is not designed for any sort of fatigue flexing with those thin wall sections. Designed for style and status, not a lot of consideration for structure or longevity. A gimmick and a waste of money for me, lesson learned. Titanium is lightweight for its strength, but that doesn't mean it's perfect for every application, linus isn't designing a backpack for NASA astronauts, so there's literally no reason to be using titanium when steel or stainless would be perfectly suitable.
@@KuraMad2000 Glasses are different than other products. The market for glasses and glasses frames is absolutely dominated by Luxottica. Buy from literally any name brand and it's probably a Luxottica subsidiary. Thus, it doesn't matter what "metal" you buy because the product _must be defective_ so Luxottica can make as much money as possible.
They used Titanium specifically to prevent microfracturing. Sans composites, Titanium is by far the most stress-resistant common metal. That said it's almost certainly a Titanium alloy. Titanium in pure form is insanely expensive and probably too rigid.
My knowledge of titanium is limited to rings and bulbs. However, I do know if you have a stone of some nature in your titanium ring, you generally have a weaker ring. I'm assuming that is what you're getting at.
Luke you describe your feet and preference almost to a T as mine, and I see why you like that model. You should check out the asics gel-nimbus or gel-kayano in mesh wide variant. (depending on your pronation) Also the lite series of both. They have models for wide feet and the mesh variant has what you're seeking around the ankle. Funny this came up in this episode because I just ordered a pair 2 days ago for myself.
Outlook will survive because of Office 365 + Onedrive for most users. I know you can pair it to a non-microsoft/outlook email account, but it is convenient to separate it "in case" there is an issue with the account, at least it will only take down one email account. It is pretty convenient (for me) to separate email accounts. I have both paid accounts for gmail (domain/work email) and outlook (due to onedrive and office365 family account I have). I also use Window Mail App (instead of Office Outlook) to easily get alerts for new emails on outlook, gmail and even my ancient yahoo account. To each his own regarding this. On another note, it was the first time I had my laptop checked if I could add another 4gb of memory since Windows 11 shows it only uses 1 o 2. after it was opened and checked (soldered ram 1 stick only), couldn't upgrade/add ram so it was returned to me. Windows locked me out via bitlocker feature. And the "key" could be found on my microsoft/outlook account. So, it was "convenient" as a feature I've never seen used before.
Wow Luke! Your computer teacher from highschool sounds amazing and I feel you were lucky to have someone so supportive of your academic goals! He sounds like he really went above and beyond to accommodate you and your desire to learn about computers! The fact that he went to take a college programming course during his summer break, just so he could come back and teach you and some other students who were also interested in that, is absolutely amazing! My 6th grade science teacher was like that. I got really interested in c++ and other programming languages in 6th grade, and he went out of his way to teach me a little of what he knew, and went out and bought really nice (and pricey) programming books with his own money to give to me so I could continue to learn in my free time! I ended up completing all the science curriculum way early, so he let me learn my programming stuff during class time, which was awesome 😎 Due to having ADHD, I really excelled in school with topics I found personal interest in, especially if the teacher was accommodating In helping me learn what I wanted. But if a class was boring, and the teacher didn't really care or wasn't accommodating, I REALLY struggled in those classes. Shout out to all those teachers who are actually passionate about teaching their students and go above and beyond to do so!
"Oura" *should* be pronounced "Oo-rah." The problem is the extremely lax pronunciation rules in English. As a Spanish speaker, it boggles my mind how a language got to the 21st century without clear rules on how to speak it when reading it from the printed page. (There is exactly *one* correct way to pronounce written Spanish.) Add companies making up new words with unconventional pronunciations, and the confusion only grows.
@@joesterling4299 It's that English is rooted in Germanic and Latin languages these days and then can borrow from outside this as well. Almost all of these use the 26 letter latin alphabet, but maybe don't use the same sounds for every letter. That's why Luke points out knowing the words origin language, if you DO know that, you can nail just about any pronunciation. We all know English is a mess nonetheless
@@MiriaJiyuu No, the problem with english and its inconsistent pronunciation rules comes from a couple of centuries ago, when french, german, latin and other lenguajes were introduced into Britain, being by "war" or by stupitdity from the cleric and/or the writters of those times. Look up all the stupid words and "rules" Shakespeare and the wirtters from that time made into the language and you'll understand. There's a couple of excelent videos in youtube about that. Oh, and I'm also a spanish speaker (from Argentina) and we can read something written from people of Spain, Colombia, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Mexico, Chile, etc or any other spanish speaking country and if it's correctly written, it would be pronounced the same across all those countries.
The Google internal email is how it normally goes for delivering bad news to employee groups, though. From a manager walking down the hallway rounding everyone up into a conference room, to a company email. You're told to assemble, then wham! This is the new reality. Here's how it's going to go, starting right now. Those of you who are leaving us, go here, everyone else go there, or stick around.
Exactly! I've been part of two facility shut downs, and when you see the HR rep walk in the door with the manager, you know that some or all of the employees are going to be let go that very day.
It's also obviously going to make huge news the moment it's announced (especially compared to their smaller or none gaming related products). Seems to me like there's no other way than to rip the bandaid off and announce it publicly at once. With hundreds of people (if you include partners) around the world, there's also bound to be some that are going to miss the official message and will learn from it from the news first.
God knows i'm glad we have stuff like employee protection where I live. It has it's problems too don't get me wrong but at least here you will not be without a job the next day without former notice...
Google Fiber was literally abandoned as they were laying down new fibers in my street. Was very sad to hear about it. But at least some other isp was able to get the infrastructure
My cockatiel got out one time back when I lived in Pasadena. He was outside for about 23 hours before we managed to get him back. Cockatiels aren't as intensely flock-oriented like budgies so playing bird sounds didn't work, but we did walk around the neighborhood whistling his song (because he responds to it) and carrying his cage (for the same reason mentioned in the video). We did our best to keep our eyes on him, but he probably flew for MANY, MANY miles that day. (Seriously had to have been at least 15 miles total given how far we went following him.) We saw him doing huge circles in the sky, had to have been hundreds of feet above the ground. And we knew it was him, because he was calling out to us the whole time he was flying, but he was too panicked to come to us on his own. (The poor little guy didn't like flying DOWN. He used to fly up and perch on a door, but when he wanted down he would cry out for someone to come rescue him. He can do it now but it took him a couple years.) When he got too tired to keep flying, he found a place to land and hide. It was getting dark so he found a place to sleep. Going to bed that night was really hard for us. The next day we stayed outside all morning to listen for his contact call. I don't know where he slept but we eventually found him outside but we couldn't reach him. We chased him around the neighborhood but whenever we would try to climb up to get him or try to get him to fly down to us, he'd get spooked and fly away to another place to perch. Finally he landed somewhere that he was able to climb down instead of flying. My wife coaxed him over... And then grabbed him in her shirt and ran home. He did get out again one other time, a few months later, but we got him back in under half an hour that time. I think he kind of figured out what he did wrong the first time and learned from it. He hasn't wanted to go outside since then! We used to be scared to open the door when he was in the room but now we know we don't have to fear that anymore.
Kinda surprised there was no commentary on ARC GPU pricing. Not that it's a huge huge deal, but the pricing kinda lined up with previous WAN show viewer polling on a price point they'd be interested.
If you look at iJustine video about the Oura ring, she is also saying the name of the company wrong. Also, in the video's section the name of the company is spelt "Aura" not "Oura". I'm so confused on how to say the name of Oura. 🤣🤣🤣
Linus, please keep making mistakes and being honest about it. We need more of that. I hate people who want personas to be both "real and grounded" and making no mistakes at all. It's just not possible. I tell people often that I like you as a person, because when I called you out personally for an offense, you responded personally, apologized, and did different moving forward. There was no difficulty, and no (further) hurt feelings, just some messages on the forum. I don't understand why it's the celebrities of the world (small or large) that seem to understand this level of humility, whereas the plebeians among us (self included) seem to be the ones that look for offense and conflict, where there doesn't need to be any.
Adding my name to the vast list of office users. Worked as a software engineer (for 9 years) for a massive multi national private company, a government funded non profit, and a small American startup. All of whom use office, never used google professionally.
The whole Ōura mispronouncing situation explained to me why Canadians say "aboot" instead of "abowt". It may come from the French influence like the word "bonjour". At least it explained it for me. 😊
@ricky bobby you make a valid point. I've only worked with people from Vancouver and Montreal. It was a vast over-generalization but did give me a plausible answer to why some Canadians pronounce it that way. Thanks for the clarification!
Oura's subscription program makes their product a hard no for me as a customer. $6 a month is a ridiculous price for something I already bought. I wish they had a $100 one-time payment option or something. And the way they created a problem where there didn't have to be one makes me question what kind of decisions they are going to make in the future.
I am a 25yo software engineer, I fancy myself as an advaced user, and I use Outlook. It is consistently solid across all platforms. Windows, MacOS, and Android. Managing multiple inboxes, filters and settings is also pretty good. I tried to go free / open source, but most of them dont have a good app for mac. The ones that have mac are not available on Android. Browser based ones are not an option, if I frequently have to go through stuff on the go (plane, train, many times there is no wifi/signal). So yea, Outlook isn't just a dinosaur that refuses to die, it actually is pretty good and usable.
the amount of snooping through the notes you keep is questionable these days. that alone has made me lean away from using Keep anymore even though I like it's functionality and UI. slowly de-googling is worth it imo
@AngryTenant I would never expect anything the size of Google to have any kind of customer support. I'd probably just toss even a Pixel phone in the trash rather than contact Google.
I just had the battery explode on my pixel that I had through Google Fi and it took like months and months of frustrating back and forth with their customer service department to get anything resolved. Not having a physical location to go to for answers is definitely something to think about.
Love using Keep, but knowing how online it is, and the info mining by Google I certainly love it less. Also its note (main) feature is pretty barebones. Wish is was much more customizable, but it's still fine I guess. Haven't found better free apps personally. I use ColorNote for my groceries and othe lists, but it still feels like a note app could do so much more.
Nice relaxed, fun vibes this week - enjoyed this ep guys. :) The new format is satisfying now that it's familiar, and the quality of the show is discernibly improving in a pleasing way. Kudos, and thank you. Dan's soft-spoken, stabilising presence and wry humour continue to augment and elevate most places they're found - looking forward to seeing the fruit of his WAN-ambitions (WANbitions). :)
Outlook might be ancient, but oh boy do I missing being able to have effective and complex rules that send emails to folders and the ability to easily use it as a personal task management software as well. A bit niche, but not to mention how easy it is to attach email messages to other emails and also the ability to edit subject lines. Outlook desktop also lets you mange your communications separately in different windows while Gmail is just an in-browser experience. It is great business tool, but requires some training to use effectively and just doesn't have the convenient integration with Gsuite. Gmail wins out for least resistance/convenience I guess.
I never used "old" outlook, but work used it up until a few months ago. It worked fine 🤷♀The only incredibly frustrating problem I had was it doing the weird "focused" view thing to certain emails. But, gmail does that with social and promotions so I can't hate on it too much when both are obnoxious that way
If you have an office365 account, you can still get the full outlook experience including aaaaall of the mail rules. I have like 70 rules, spanning multiple aliases :)
I see your point but not every "not high end" stuff is bad. The easiest example i see in the tech youtuber space is phones everyone uses high end phones most of them iphones but low/med range phones nowadays are really good especially like Motorola but no one, NO ONE in the space reviews those Moto phones. They're too busy with their folds and iphones and they ignore lower end as they assume they're bad while they're really really not.
I feel him with the whole finding shoes thing. Size twelve is at the top end of what stores will carry, and thirteens are even more sparse. Finding shoes that both fit and are nice is a hassle I'd rather not deal with so I wear my shoes into the ground.
I feel for you and Luke too, I wear size 13-14 depending on the cut, and it has to be wide too! when I was younger, my mom went to get shoes and the guy at the store went "How can there be anyone with feet this big?!?!" which for an Asian in Asia, it's understandable especially at that time, I thought it'd be easier to find in Western countries, but I guess I was wrong
@@marcellkovacs5452 I think the problem then would be style too. Ever since I enlisted in the fire department here and had to wear the uniform, I've loved wearing boots and have been wearing them for a decade. I change them because they're worn, but I don't wear sneakers anymore hahaha
26:33 that awkward moment when Linus and his staff don't realize we're talking about Outlook the web service that replaced Hotmail, not Outlook the old software that is part of Microsoft Office.
“You must hate me cause everything I do is awful” I don’t know how you can say that as a joke without your recent blunders even coming to mind at all. The ability to be completely oblivious to yourself is actually impressive, I’m super jealous.
Compressors are great for minimising the difference between loud and quiet but to lower maximum output you need a limiter there are many units that have both built in as they are commonly used at the same time
I find it's always the contradiction of development, They want you to be passionate and invested in the product and put everything into it, but well projects only last as long as management want to support them. Having consulted and been a inhouse developer, you just have to learn to invest enough to get the best you can, but not so invested that when the inevitable comes, and you either move on, your ready to do so
The not testing/benching of the integrated GPU argument might make sense when you look at current hardware, but having those results might be useful further down then line when it's no longer a top-of-the-line product and might actually make for a good budget / 2nd hand option.
More than that, they could test the performance of the iGPU in thing’s like # of video streams it can handle or how the iGPU differs between the high end 770 or whatever and the 730. Plenty of reasons to test it even if it just gets put on some forum post instead of in the video.
I'd be super interested to see a stadia devkit! That would be awesome 😎 I can't even begin to imagine what it would look like or how it would function with stadia being a cloud service. Guess that's why we need you guys to get this thing and make a video on it. I NEED TO KNOW!
Not sure if someone said this yet but outlooks integration with windows is actually really solid these days plus the UI is PRETTY friendly. Editing events is the only place it struggles. Depending on the event editing can be as much as 3 clicks away
them moaning about calendar scheduling and not having a way to do that on google. Then poopooing an app that actually does this pretty well because its outlook was a bit silly.
I recently started working as an IT tech at a school and they are heavily wrapped up in google for teaching, email and storage and one of my first questions was 'are you not worried google will just pull the rug out from under you?!'
The next fight should definitely be Olympic Rules, 3min rounds, Olympic scoring, no takedowns or grabs, and gam-jeom (no punches to the face and no hits below the waist). The Olympic ruling also enforces really strict delay penalties too which would definitely help
Around 1:24:00 The current options for MANY people are "Get a new AM4 chip, maybe a GPU, double your current DDR4, and keep everything else", or "Buy new memory, motherboard, CPU, GPU, and probably power supply", with the main benefit being that in the future you may have the cheaper route available that time. Use the cheaper option, especially with performance being similar.
You guys, seriously. Exchange and Outlook has been the goto software for this for 25 years. In my 20 years as a consultant I can only recall like five customers that don't use it. Everyone doesn't use Outlook, but if we exclude like chinese subsistance farmers it isn't honestly isn't an extreme hyperbole.
Right? Outlook is used in nearly every professional setting. Whether it is a small consultancy of 10 people, 250-head medium business or worldwide conglomerates employing tens of thousands of people. I get that some one-man shows or tiny startups can get by with something else, but they are the exception. Not the norm.
Valve should have the records to be able to know which serial numbers came from which suppliers and therefore which ones have the affected fan model. They could quite easily make a single web page for someone types in their steam deck serial number and it will tell them if they are affected or not. They can even have that linked on the dbrand website when someone orders the kill switch case so that a user can be informed if they are device is compatible or not. The information does exist valve just has to take a day or two to compile it into a database make it available to the public in some manor.
You just know they won't do that. I think up "genius" shit like this EVERY SINGLE DAY of my life, all over the place - but how many of these OBVIOUS fucking common sense cheapboi perfection fixes gets done? FUCKINNNN NONE OF EM 🤣 But kudos man, that's an engineering mindset - see problem fix problem.
I had the realization that i've been with my partner for about 1/4 of my life today. I told her and it was so heartwarming to share that moment together, I couldn't imagine my life any other way. hearing Linus talk about his relation being 1/2 of his life really makes me look forward to what can come.
Google have an amazing knack of changing apps, software and other services in an annoying fundamental way that ruins any muscle memory or expected outcome of interaction. The youtube app has changed drastically for the worse, requiring many additional taps, swipes and interactions to complete actions than before, such as adding to a playlist, liking a video etc. The forced theme change on PC was insanely annoying.
On the Google thing... This is why I never bothered to try Google Cloud Platform (GCP) products. I mean at this point I might, but they've killed too many things I like. Was literally discussing this morning that I don't know what I'd do if/when they kill Google Voice.
One Project I was involved with used it. The pace at which they were deprecating services our just API endpoints was hilarious. "Please switch to V2 of this API for that thing you only started using yesterday"
I worked for an IT company for a few years that did stuff for the local public bus service, doctors offices, and a few manufacturing companies. All of which used Microsoft office products including outlook. Most of the people at every company would never even consider using anything other than outlook on desktop.
Zipper Pulls - The 's' carabiner appears to be or very similar to a product Nite-Ize sells. I've had one on my keychain for almost 10 years, it's warn but still functions like a top. They do make smaller sizes, like zipper pull size that does work despite the size. The titanium one is cool - But it won't hold up long term. It will fail. The benefit of the s style you showed is the wire that holds it closed is also the spring making it very durable.
I was going to say this and looked to see if someone else mentioned it. If it were me in this situation I would use the small nite-ize s beener along with the included tool because it will be far more durable than any solution you'll get as a replacement. But that's just me. I like the way those kinds of beeners look anyways.
Don't know what you are doing over there, but here where I live (EU) every company I have worked for (consulting engineer) is using Office 365, Outlook and Teams. And all the suppliers I get in touch with as an engineer will always ask for a Teams meeting, no other video meeting service is ever suggested
The thing people forget about Australian pricing, is that retailers in Australia always include the Goods & Services Tax (GST), which is at the rate of 10%. So, If an item is priced at $2900 AUD, then $263.64 from that would be GST.
Very surprising headline topic with everything else that happened this week lol. I mean hey the USB stuff drives me mad too don’t get me wrong but, a full blown confirmation of a 3rd GPU competitor? I’d prolly pick that
Linus is always so overly angry at USB, it's like a meme at this point. He gets outraged over anything minor the USB-IF does, either bad or good. It's a bit unfair towards USB-IF imho (shout out to Luke for the positive note!)
Extremely disappointed that the Oura ring video isn’t coming back. I saw it in my feed and wanted to watch it later, then not being able to find it later after it had been pulled. Linus is being a baby on this as well. You could easily reshoot the video with the proper name. Including the act of due-diligence, this should mean a reshoot. Oura is in the right.
Google Fibre was renamed to Google Fibre Webpass or Webpass, its only available in certain cities and only within certain buildings within those cities. But it is alive and available.
Meanwhile in most of King County, WA we have Comcast with a ratio of 100/5 (what I have for $70), up to 2500/55 I think (also absurdly expensive). Some select places have Century Link FTTH with symmetric gigabit, about $50-70 a month, not me though. My other landline based option is Century Link DSL with a whopping 5mbps down/1mbps up... As soon as TMobile unlimited 5G home internet is available in my location I'm switching. I'm already getting 600/80 on my phone with their midband 5g and that's inside my house, outside is better.
@@Jaker788 upstate NY had a big problem with a shitty ubternet provider, but recently a fiber company started up and absolutely fucking steamrolled them. The fiber company literally had like 60% coverage of my town alone before the old company even realized what was happening. My point is start your own company. Thats not a joke just go do it, or someone else will.
1:58:14 Your 15A breaker may be woofed - replace it and try. Your other option is to remove that 15A breaker and stick a 20A (not a good idea) in the box. Monitor the temperature of the wire under full load - if it remains below the max temp of the wire's insulation, you're prime!
Yeah, 20A is definitely not a good idea unless the wire is known to be properly gauged for it (probably isn't). The other alternative is to swap breakers from a non essential circuit for a quick troubleshoot.
Maybe it's because I'm Californian but I'm so completely against anything that may be a potential unnecessary fire risk, even if it can "technically" work lol
Here, in Europe, we have 16A and 20A. Even 32A in certain case, on 240V not the old tri-phase 380V. Yes, we have that in old house (post WW2). Now there is only 240V.
@@guy_autordie Yeah, I mean, I get all these are things. I just worry about people trying to do fast and cheap "hobby swaps" with electrical stuff due to the risk of fire if not done correctly
I dont know if someone else mentioned it, but that clip that is made from one solid piece with no moving parts is called a compliant machine IIRC. Veritasium has a good video on them.
The entire purpose of a standards organization is to STANDARDIZE and PREVENT RENAMING. Changing the names now only invalidates every package printed to date. USB...wtf...FAIL.
While I agree, they've already done it once and the previous version is stupid, confusing and tells consumers little. I am totally fine with a change to a naming scheme that more clearly conveys at a glance what something does. Yeah I can look it up, but it's easier if it just says it.
@@MiriaJiyuu I agree, just saying...If I were a standards organization head, it seems obvious that I would develop a standardized naming scheme that was scalable, right from the start. I only need two pieces of data. Which ones newer, and which one fits.
