You need to rant more about how Google is just damn broken. Not only the "Superchats" that aren't even remotely super, but also the massive lag in CC auto generation. They're still not up almost a week later... The Time Stamp Guy gets his job done in a few minutes, how can a fricken algorithm not get its done in a week?

[@aaronmicalowe]

On the subject of 10 points of good videos, which came from talking about Linus' management style, which is a bit like Steve Jobs, "just go do it", style, what I'd say is everyone has an ego. Everyone wants to do it their way, but to be a team you have to have a central view. If we don't put our ego aside to go with the collective flow, we have chaos. It's not always easy to do that, especially when you have good skills, but it needs to happen for a singular direction.

[@lsauperl]

Blizzard does numbers in the handle, which made me very happy because I could finally have a name that I wanted, without wasting time thinking of names that weren't yet taken.

[@AarPlays]

This is exactly why companies like Bungie and blizzard use this system. So the names can be unique even if someone else has the same name. Going back on this is incredibly dumb

[@theuprising2216]

​@@AarPlays yep xbox implemented it a few years back because basically every name that wasn't spam characters was taken lol

[@poochyenarulez]

You couldn't though, you'd pick a name and them 4 digits of numbers would be added to the end of it. I prefer a unique name without digits on the end.

[@kingsaltman]

Hear me out… you can just add the numbers with whatever name you want yourself

[@neuro3423]

​@@kingsaltman you're not getting the point then

[@estrobedaaxios2329]

Would be so easy for discord to just continue support for both username types 1: choose a username 2: [optional] choose a handle Case #1 (no handle) Auto generate a unique handle through the old system. Case #2 (with specific handle) Try to use said handle Case #3 (already registered and want the new system) Change handle within the account

[@Trixless]

Yes that would be great, and with no handle you cant be searched, Since discord is a pretty private messaging application. Direct dms, calls, private groupchats. handles make it more of a social media but theres no account frontpage to 'tweet' 'update' ppl on. But those that choose to get an @ handle can be searched without needing the numbers

[@jody5661]

Literally like 2 weeks ago I used your HDMI cable testing information to convince my boss that we, as an AV integrator, should use properly tested and certified cables rather than random cables from amazon. AND IT WAS LITERALLY THE SAME PRICE! I was trying to say this for almost a year at that point and had ran into SEVERAL issues with crappy cables, but it took your excel graph to get my boss and the CEO onboard.

[@szirsp]

I think this illustrates why there should be legislation that requires corporations (that sell products at a certain scale) to have "certified engineers" who will blow the whistle on anti consumer behavior. (In the licensure talk 2:15:40) If it seems that corporations will just do bad things and not hire good people who would prevent that that's a sign that something should force them to change this behavior, probably more/stricter pro environment and pro consumer laws. (This could also help against corporation replacing every engineer, software developer with immoral AI...)

[@SylvieTheBagel]

I think the original point of the numbers was it ensured privacy. If you remember a name, you also have to remember the number. It was great, people couldn’t just message people if they knew a username from a different platform. And ya, it did fix username camping. And it’s been undone completely. Fuck you discord.

[@sirmonkey1985]

as long as visible usernames continue to be tied to each server it should still work the same way since they'd need to know your primary username to message you. knowing the numbers just allowed you to get around that part.

[@poochyenarulez]

But that makes impersonation much easier. They don't remember your numbers, so anyone else could just change their names to yours and they would think its you.

[@SylvieTheBagel]

@@poochyenarulez ya they could, except most servers ban it and it just doesn’t work very well

[@DrFungus]

Linus may not see this but I'm gonna leave this here anyway: I have a solution for that "KZbin app not supporting stories" problem. Always make sure you open YT app in portrait mode i.e. on the smaller display. The reason stories disappear on the landscape display is because most Google apps seem to adapt to either the phone mode or tablet mode depending on the aspect ratio of the window it is opened in. For example: I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab A. I too get the tablet version of YT if I open it normally. However if I open it as a pop up window in portrait mode, the app completely changes and shows me the better phone version of YT. Hope this helps! ✌️

As a pure Teamspeak user for voice chat till this day, getting into Discord 5 years ago was hell. And I still struggle with the management interface daily. Especially the one given in the app. So many things are so many levels down that it just isn't a fluent work experience. Not gonna say that setting up a Teamspeak server with rights, auto-afk, no-chat channels and all that stuff is easy. But damn, nothing was intuitive when getting into Discord. I got used to it, but once you add bots it starts to become a whole other mess. The lack of features that should be basic (like auto delete) Discord is still not my go-to.

I've had a Discord account since the early days, but never really liked the service if I'll be honest. I pretty much only use it to chat with a handful of friends because they prefer it. I vastly prefer self-hosted Mumble for voice comms, for privacy reasons - and I'll likely never use Discord for that. It's also moved a lot of things that in the days of yore would've been on searchable forums or wikis to what's basically invite-only modern hipster IRC, making a lot of info hard to find, difficult to search, and easy for a rogue/bored mod to nuke out of existence. I absolute hate that, tbh.

The thing with Biofire's smart gun is apparently that it is the first smart gun that's made to be smart from the ground up. Every other smart gun were just normal guns with smart features added to them, hence you could circumvent them with a magnet. Having problems to fire at a prototype stage is normal with every single new gun that is in development. Weapon manufacturing isn't just simple as making a gun and it just works.

[@DarkSideKyp]

Hey, a few quick comments about BioFire (from an American whose two favorite subjects are firearms and tech) Yes, so-called "smart firearms" have been around for a while, the difference being is that those are almost always *conversion kits* for existing guns, whereas this one is an original design. With what I've seen from their material, it's marketed towards people who may have others in the home who should not have access to the gun. Failure to fire when it needs to is bad, but the idea behind the design is to never fire unless you know the correct user is holding it… this design is one of the most effective I've personally seen, yet still has so many issues with user confirmation. As far as American gun owners boycotting previous "smart" guns, there was a law passed in New Jersey that said (super TLDR) as soon as a commercially viable smart handgun was sold, "non-smart" handguns would become illegal to sell in the state 3 years after that epoch. That was a big reason why gun owners boycotted them in the past, and also because there isn't a massive market for that tech to begin with. Most smart guns that have existed are either remarkably unreliable as a firearm (possibly the fate of BioFire) or remarkably unreliable as a safety feature (almost all the others I can think of). Either way, if the tech does advance, eventually someone is going to be hurt (or worse) as a result of one of those two functions failing because the user was relying more heavily on a LiDAR camera than on gun safety as a whole. /rant over

The Thorim rings look great, I actually went and researched them a while back. My big issue with them is that they are a bit pricy, which in itself isn't a problem, the problem comes from the value. With a gold or silver ring I know that if let's say I wanted or needed to get rid of it that I can take it to a jeweler and get X amount of money back, we know the value of gold/silver, so it's easy to determine if this $3000 ring is actually "worth" it or not. With the Thorum rings on the other hand there is no way to put a objective value on the rings, so it's really difficult to figure out if they are worth it or not. Which really sucks because some of the rings look amazing.

I really respect Linu's decision to not hire a chef for his kids. I think it's more important to just let them help with food themselves, etc and a very smart choice of him. You can cook healthy food at home that's not a gourmet meal too. Doesn't have to be made by a professional chef to be healthy :)

2:37:55 *"Don't forget - a **_negative outcome_** is still an outcome."* Luke told a story, on WAN Show, some weeks ago. If I recall correctly, the story was about a video he produced, in 2016. The _intended topic_ of the video: *How has automotive technology progressed, over the past 4 years?* According to Luke, he discovered that the technology _hadn't progressed._ It has _regressed_ - to become noticeably worse. As that was _not the intended topic,_ he abandoned production of the video. My question: Is the "negative outcome" guideline, a (relatively) recent one? I would have thought - information about _the regressive_ automotive technology - more useful to consumers. That tells us, "Don't buy this!". Or, "Recognize this for _what it is:_ shrinkflation! Paying a bit more, to get a bit less." I wonder if the manufacturers are relieved about Luke's decision. 🤔

Discord removing numbers just backwards..... It's so much easier to find who you're looking for with those numbers because there can't be anyone similar to it ! What did cause issues however is when people use custom fonts and wingdings in their name. Remove that functionality when searching usernames, but keep customisation only a visual thing on servers (because i believe in the right to customize) but it makes searches reeaaaal hard. And update releases should always be reserved for Tuesday's !

Back when I still played World of Warcraft in the WotLK days, I had a full raid ready heal druid and was main healer in the biggest guild on the server. I went out of my way to farm the old level 60 Tier 1 shoulder pads and wore them to level 80 raids. They were terrible stat wise but I loved their look so I wore them. Nobody ever died because I couldn't heal them fast enough due to that smidge of power I was missing on my shoulders. But I looked sick in the celebration screenshots. They eventually added transmogrification to do that sort of thing officially without losing power, but I didn't care before that, I just wanted to look cool, healing power be damned. This was 2009 ish. How time flies...

Discord and "user friendly" in one sentence, how is that even possible?

I wish more social platforms utilized usernames the same way Steam does. Where you have your account's personal username, and then a Display Name over that that other people see you as in games/online. That makes it so you can change what people see you as at any time, for an unlimited amount of times, as well as having your name be anything you want (within the guidelines obviously). That way, people wouldn't have to worry about a name they wanna be known by being already taken

Simply changing the orientation doesn't work, as it seems to set some parameters when the app first launches.

42:00 Selling gaming laptops is not the same as selling "consoles". The reason why most of them stayed away was not just due to steep competition in this space (basically Nintendo) but what people expect in terms of after sale care from them. With a laptop is quire simple and channels they have in place can deal with that, including repair. However, it's only recently that making a console like gaming laptop became a thing, reason why some of them will start dipping their toes in the space as software/games and lack thereof is no longer an issue. Basically Steam has changed the game.

Displaying the @ symbol will make it easier for people to know/remember that, to tag a user, you just hit the @ symbol and start typing a name, and Discord will automatically generate a list of users with the letters you start typing. It's fine. The @ symbol is fine. I wouldn't care if ALL socials just used it and made it normal.

you can have the @ tagging functionality without showing an @ by default platform wide.

[@H94R]

@@imjody No I read that, it’s just a lot of modern apps like snapchat for example have used @ tagging for years without having a visible @ in usernames, and everyone seems to find that pretty intuitive. I understand making things simple, but a simple prompt for the first time someone writes a message, detailing that you can tag users would suffice. I personally couldn’t care less either way as i don’t communicate much in a way that utilises tagging. But i guess if discord wants to become the everything app for communication then i can understand their thinking.

[@imjody]

@@H94R Having the @ symbol in front of the username makes it a lot easier for people to understand that this is the username, and not the channel name. It differentiates the two; which is absolutely crucial.

[@TP-sr2vs]

Referring to the Discord case: It's not to make usernames easier to remember, but it's because a huge Discord's early-days tech debt. The 4-digit hashtags number is limited to 9999, so there can be only 9999 accounts with exactly the same name. I recently faced the problem when I wanted to set my nickname as, in this case, 4 digits. 9999 other people already had to had their nicknames like mine and the Discord threw error that said the limit of the same nicknames is reached.

@@verifiedactualgamer racist is a bit, far fetched But yea Even with that, fingerprint sensor is the main thing. And from what little testing I saw it seemed fairly reliable.

Until smart guns are a common thing, most criminals won't have a clue of it existing. Let alone hacking it somehow. It's just an overall safer option.
