Thank you for your service 🙏

I love long WAN show, it takes me 3 days to get all the way through it because I have things to do but it's always a joy especially when y'all go on tangents just a lot of fun to listen to.

[@techwolf89]

Takes me a few days as well. But timewise it works out better for me this way and before i know it, it's Friday again.

I listen to this show basically everyday at work and I’m catching up rn from November and I’ve watched like 15 or so in a week or two💀

Haven’t missed a wan in years. This was one of the best. I so desperately need more Dan Rants™️

[@Frizzy9000]

[@blairyoung8098]

This just keeps getting better and better. I love Dan low-key telling Linus he's buying a large format printer. Notice Linus didn't say no, but instead suggested a Shetland scale horsey. Dan - we all heard Linus consent to the idea. He's even an active participant. He practically said - "Dan, 3D print me a Shetland pony lamp or it's your job". You know what to do Dan. We all heard him. Do iiiiiiit.

[@jasonjenkins-ferris]

I doubt anyone at LTT will ever read this, but as a disabled person I massively appreciate Linus and Luke's appreciation for the struggles we face. Not everyone does.

[@PsRohrbaugh]

I am minimally disabled, and you're completely right. I rarely face serious struggles, but when I do, it's a good reminder of what others deal with on a daily basis.

[@jasonjenkins-ferris]

@@JSerio1983 yeah true. idk how to correct for that.

[@PsRohrbaugh]

@@JSerio1983 it's not a perfect solution, but account verification (send in a photo of your handicapped parking decal, or a doctor's letter) to enable the features might be a good compromise. My "disability" is being partially colorblind. Depending on the hues involved and the device screen, I can struggle to see red at all, as well as being unable to tell apart blue and purple, and green from yellow or red (depends on the hues). It really sucks in some games. I remember a friend asking me "why don't you ever get out of the AOE damage? There's literally a big red circle on the ground". I'm like "uh, can't see it!". Sure enough in the screenshot I could just make out the red circle, but no way I'm seeing that during fast paced action.

[@bipbop3121]

Some of my nearest and dearest live with those challenges, which makes me greatly appreciate when I come across mindful others, too.

[@Andrei5656]

The Hawk Eye segment (1h37) has to be one of the best Wan Show moment i've ever seen. The chemistry of these three is a delight to watch. Cheers from France.

[@wck]

43:11 OMFG this is so funny, I worked at Bargain Bytes in Mission for a year. If Linus was a kid at the time, that was probably back when Bargain Bytes was run out of the owner's home garage. It was literally "a hole in the wall" back then because they didn't have people come inside the shop. You instead spoke to them through a window they installed in the side of the garage. I wonder if Geno realizes that young Linus has been to his shop!

[@alexanderwewers8933]

1:00:00 to the tetrising part: i remember way back when i was a kid, we wanted to make a camping holiday in france (from germany), so my father packed our volvo kombi at the time, chock full, including roof mounted carry case that we had for skis, and our dog. me my father, mother and my little brother and the dog... shortly after we crossed over into france, something in the motor broke, so we had to get towed and get our replacement car (due to my father having a kind ofinsurance due to the ADAC) and we should have gotten a kombi sized car as a replacement... well turns out we were not the only ones that had a breakdown that summer week in that area, because we got something in the ballpark of a VW Polo... at least it had 5 doors, and was not one of those 3 doors with movable seats to get in the back... so my father was tetrising for four hours, and somehow got everything except a camping grill and a package of butter into that car... he remembers it to this day as the most quit holiday drive he rememebrs, simply because no one was able to see anyone else. i was boxed in except a piece of the window the size of a switch, and a little opening to see through on my gameboy, my brother the same. the dog was the ehole drive between the legs of my mother in the front... no one enjoyed the drive exceptz my father XD also i think he won 500DM (ca. 250€) or so in bets that day, cause none of the guys that were at the car dealer for the replacement cars thought it possible that even half of the luggage would fit in that small car

[@myopinion69420]

1:31:31 I did a work placement in high school for an electronics shop (component's, not tv's) they were still using 386's as their POS terminals when I was there in 2006. I went back in about 10 years later and they were still using the exact same machines. they had moved location twice since i was in high school, yet were still using the 386's for pos and inventory management.

[@dalyxia]

Dont fix what aint broken

[@InnuendoXP]

If it works, they own the process, aren't dependent on an external service partner, and they aren't a large business that can justify commercial licence fees or development costs for that kind of thing, makes sense.

[@crixmorgan]

As a 30 yr parts professional, I totally understand your wiper blade issues!! They are a nightmare now!! and that segment made me laugh so hard!! thank you!!

[@michaelrogers6008]

I LOVED the section of the 3 of you all talking about the center and how excited you all got.

[@jceggbert5]

@DAN I really hope you read this. You can fix your display scaling! Developer Options -> Minimum Width. Take note of the original value. Turn up the number, wouldn't recommend moving more than 50 at a time just in case systemui breaks itself. There is a threshold where some apps will assume they're on a tablet and act differently (notably Swiftkey which disables swipe to dismiss) but I've used this on lots of brands of androids. Granted, not Sony. Please let me know if this works for you so I can add that info to my repertoire!

[@18earendil]

1:32:00 @LinusTechTips Linus, emails aren't considered reliable and secure enough to have the same legal value as faxes, because fax transmissions are more direct (less bouncing between servers) and as such have a much better traceability than emails. Morever with physical faxes where you get the identity of the sending machine and of the receiving machine attached to the fax alongside the precise time and date of sending and reception. Electronic signature is meant to add a similar level of traceability to emails, but this isn't part of the core protocole nor of more mail services.

[@grn1]

I was thinking the same for emails. That said there are still better ways. My mother just bought a house and I was there helping her along the way. Most companies use something like DocuSign along with email. They did have us send a lot of personal docs through email though which is quite concerning to me (probably illegal but like Luke said many companies don't really know better and have shit security that an 'expert' set up some time back).

[@ShamefulYeti]

What pisses me off on the Apple Arcade saga on AppleTV, it didn't prompt Linus for a pin/password to subscribe & charge his card... but to cancel the subscription & for Apple to not get paid anymore suddenly you need to re-authenticate for "Security reasons".

[@zeikjt]

This is definitely one of those dark patterns. I can hear it already "oh the unsubscribe button is on a sensitive page," then why didn't you put the unsub button somewhere more accessible, like the subscribe button was? Just evil.

[@88porpoise]

Honestly, i think there should be an additional verification step there for an AppleTV. Specifically for an AppleTV because they are generally shared devices that entire families and friends and visitors access. I wouldnt want my child or their doofus friend playing a "joke" by cancelling it. That said, it should be nice and simple to get to the button to cancel. It should also be easoly accessible within the App for the service. /Also that whole thing where for months it begged me to go on my iOS device to accept the terms and conditions or whatever when it is literally my only Apple product as i got it free when I signed up for internet back in 2018

And if the bail wasn't knocked off.

[@KennyBradley]

Hawkeye doesn't allow the broadcasters to ever show a side by side. To the viewer their accuracy is sub millimeter because that's what they'll overrule on in tennis, but real world error is somewhere around 50x what's implied.

[@tournamentmaster2000]

It's also why people have problems when it's used in Cricket for LBW

[@SierraLimaOscar]

Linus is correct Hawkeye is predicting the trajectory/impact point and is not 100% accurate. I remember when Hawkeye became allowed in tennis there was a presentation at a sport broadcasters conference where they basically said: "it is not 100%, but independent tests show it to be much more accurate than human referees. So we can live with the errors".

[@tournamentmaster2000]

@@SierraLimaOscar It's pretty good in that regards, but to the average person who watches sport, they're generally not told this and assume the path shown is 100% accurate, and where there is, in fact, a degree of uncertainty. The origin isn't in tennis - it's in Cricket where it was used for LBW calls because umpires have to predict the balls trajectory and doing that with the player in front of the stumps takes a LOT of training.

[@marcelsmit1218]

The broadcaster has the option to show side by side but decide not to. Why blame Hawkeye for a broadcasters choice not to show side by side. SuperSport South Africa actually overlays Hawkeye over the actual image from a specific camera view

[@KennyBradley]

@@marcelsmit1218 I could have been more clear, for tennis it is the case that you'll never see them side by side because you can actually compare the Hawkeye results directly with video footage. In cricket they can show it side by side for an LBW review because hitting a leg changes the trajectory which removes the direct comparison. Badminton functions like tennis in this case so I ignored the unrelated cricket use case.

2 stories about stuffing TV’s: we once went out at 10PM on a Thursday and spontaneously bought a 55”. We drove a Nissan Sentra, and the only way we were able to get the tv back home was to leave 3 people at the store, take the tv home, and send someone back for the others. Another time a good friend of mine were trying to put a 65” in the back seat of a small sedan and managed to get it completely stuck in the door hanging out of vehicle (they didn’t listen to their wife when she said it wouldn’t fit). We had to take my mini van, cut through the box to get the TV out of their doorway, and haul it back to their house in my van. I’m familiar with the struggle😂

[@Decadentotter]

On the topic of ADA compliance. I never realized how bad our work sites were for handicapped people until I was training a coworker who was in a wheelchair. The buildings were really old, so they have a lot of steps and not enough space to retrofit ramps. So if you can't climb stairs our buildings are a long nightmare to navigate. The one site we go to has a flight of stairs out front to just get in the door. For a wheelchair user to get into that building, they need to go around to the building next door, take an elevator, go through 3 sets of doors (none of them had working open door buttons), and 2 long hallways. Just to get into the building that has a flight of stairs in front of the door.

the return of the 4 hour long Wan show let's gooooooooo

[@Jet7Wave]

Back when I worked with Apple Support a few years ago people unable to cancel subscriptions on their Apple TV was definitely one of the most embarrassing things to help with because it was so stupid. The ones with iPhones weren't too bothered even if it felt awkward, but the ones who got an Apple TV with no other Apple devices got understandably frustrated to have to download and install an .exe file to unsubscribe from something. I'm glad to see it's finally been changed.

[@michaelmcchesney6645]

When I moved into my current apartment 4 years ago, I ordered all new furniture, as well as an 82" Samsung QLED TV. Costco delivered and set up the TV, though that just meant putting on the legs, not wall-mounting it. I put my existing 55" TV in my bedroom. While the 55" TV hadn't seemed small to me when I got it, having the 82" TV in my living room made my bedroom TV seem too small. l also justified upgrading because I struggled to read text on the screen without my glasses. So I gave the 55" TV to my sister and ordered another 82" Samsung TV for my bedroom. Now that TV was not a QLED and was actually $1,000 cheaper than the one in my living room. But I ended up also buying a new dresser that was wide enough for the TV to fit on. But there is a downside to having 82" TVs in both my living room and bedroom. How do I justify upgrading to a 110" TV like Linus has?

[@erwinhun]

About GPU reviews. When I'm buying I'm interested in a lot of details. When I'm not, I just want to get a sense for price/performance relative to similar cards and the same card previous gen.

[@micahv9365]

Linus in a king bed is a comical thought. It’s like that toddler with their fresh “big kid” bed. I heard Linus plays hide and seek by climbing in his pillow case

[@casedistorted]

I also heard Linus shadow bands people in the comment section he doesn’t like or agree with

[@bradnoyes7955]

50:00 Don't forget that sorting by price typically removes the majority of the results. 1:03:00 The Issue I've had with 'bargain' TV's hasn't been with the picture quality, it has been with the "Smart TV software". I have a fairly new Insignia QLED and the picture looks good, but They've had to send a tech out multiple times because the Fire TV 'smart TV' part kept crashing. Even when the Fire TV part works, it's slow as dirt, so I just connected a Roku and 'abandoned' the Smart TV functionality. However, even now I'll still get flashes of black screen when watching. It's really annoying because I have an Insignia LCD TV from 2009 and a Dynex from 2010 and they still work.

[@TetraSky]

2:23:10 I don't have the same issue as Linus for the Search thing. For me, when I search "sleep", it looks for the settings first. But it might be because I changed the default search settings in Windows in the Indexing Options. (Settings > Privacy & Security > Searching Windows) Selected Enhanced under "find my files". Went in the Advanced Indexing options further down. Modified the Included location to include all of Local Disk (C:). Then I removed the Exclusions that Windows auto fills in.

[@Rinxtzu]

2:01:40 - Apple TV moment and on 2:08:35 the topic resumes, 2:15:58 resumes again

I see one major problem with the sony badmitton center. Dbrand is not involved. If you are going to do any extremely over the top projects especially those that require a six person IT team for your one staff member, dbrand must be involved.

[@genesis_junior1953]

21:20 Chromebooks are more "laptops" than laptops. They usually don't get very hot, thus it's easy to put them on your lap without burning yourself. Also their battery life is usually 8-10 hours. I'm down for GPU revisits every three months or so. I believe it would be quite valuable for the viewers. Just yesterday I was trying to find recent comparisons with the ARC A750, which is currently priced in my country right below the RX 6600 and also very close is the RTX 3050. However it's really hard to find if a year after A750's launch its drivers are cool or not...

[@curtisss]

​@@pdblouinevery Chromebook I have used has shitty input devices. As in horrendous keyboard and trackpad and then as you say sub par screens

[@khulhucthulhu9952]

I bought and am very satisfied with an A770. The drivers are pretty good now, although certain older games (Civ V is what I've ran into) won't run still. obviously I haven't compared them to the other cards though

[@genesis_junior1953]

I have an Asus 2 in 1 Chromebook since last summer that I bought used for 100€ (but launched back in 2021 for 330€). The touchscreen is great (it's an IPS type) and extra useful. And the battery lasts. It's a bit slow but it usually just needs a couple of seconds to catch up. I'm very satisfied with it.

[@pdblouin]

@@curtisss The trackpad is bad but I don't like trackpads in general. The keyboard is decent, at least, no worse than my Surface Laptop 2.

Speaking of helping Mom and Pop shops with IT work, I helped a gas station with its coffee and creamer orders by setting up a Excel spreadsheet that calculated all their costs. And if you don't remember how to use Excel there's plenty of tutorials that can help teach you in an afternoon.

[@benwu7980]

Excel is pretty excellent to have at least a basic understanding of how to do a few costing functions, but I'd have to admit that knowing about the same level in Google Sheets now is similarly useful.

[@abidanjam1234]

eBay is pretty much a Chinese drop ship platform these days, sick and tired of having to check the "about seller" details to determine if I'm dealing with someone in my country or not. Item location is pretty much never the same as seller location these days. Small items will often come very late with foreign mail labels even though they are listed as being located in my country (sometimes appear to be within driving distance😂)

[@DrSloww]

I'm grateful that eBay still continues to be THE place for buying/selling USED goods, particularly niche parts that you can't just buy off facebook marketplace.

[@the_wiki9408]

And Amazon has turned itself into another eBay, so the same applies to shopping there.

[@DrSloww]

@@the_wiki9408 This is just not the case. Amazon is the market leader, eBay copies Amazon. Not the other way around.

[@prawny12009]

If eBay would let you filter by seller location not just item location most of the china sellers would be out of business in a month. Even when they claim the item is in my country it still gets shipped from china. Pricing is now unreliable too, with a UK seller generally the price on the listing is what I pay, The price can change during checkout often 2-3 times and PayPal will show a different price, one price on eBay then a different price + vat during checkout, then a different price again when you go back to check the listing later. I checked PayPal yesterday because I need to return a regulator for a motorcycle bought on eBay, listing price was £16.41 free p&p PayPal say the sale was for £19.69 so somewhere during checkout 20% was added even though there was no suggestion during checkout that VAT was applicable. Pretty sure some sort of VAT scam is going on with these overseas sellers.

[@DrSloww]

@@prawny12009 I order on eBay all the time, rarely had anything show up from China, if it does take 2 weeks or more I usually return it.

[@girder123]

@1:00:40 you were in international shipping electronics category for some reason, that category wouldn't include many television sets due to their weight.

[@oxfordsparky]

Who the hell browses Amazon by category anyway?? I always search for what I’m looking for and if I don’t easily find the result I want I tweak the search entry, for a TV like in his example I’d instantly be searching 65” TV or what ever size I wanted and if I specifically wanted an oled then I would search for 65” oled tv etc

[@nulano]

​@@oxfordsparkyBut why not use the category? Because they are useless, as demonstrated...

[@grn1]

​@@oxfordsparkyI've learned to search Amazon by putting what I want into the search bar and hoping it works but many of us grew up using categories on sites to at least narrow down the search results (most sites don't seem to work like that anymore). Everyone's brains work a bit different, some people find it much easier to narrow down categories like your going through a forum, looking for the right sub-forum.

[@itsme__a]

I have similar gripes with Sony as Dan does. I have the wf-1000xm5s the lack of customization when it comes to touch controls is egregious. You only get 2 options when choosing touch controls, those options are playback controls or ambient sound controls. You cant customize what single, double, triple and long press do...

Okay guys. Lets be honest. Your company has enough resources to make some timestamps for a podcast.

[@ventilate4267]

Technically they have LMG clips so

[@Adam4]

@@krisc1684 It's down to efficiency. Not everyone is interested in every topic and I only want to listen to the ones I am interested in, the rest of my time I will spend doing something else. Based on the amount of likes that timestamp guy receives, and the fact that LTT just copy and paste his timestamps on Monday morning into the description, it's fair to say people want them. I assume the main problem is that WAN is recorded after hours on a Friday night, so there's no one at the company to even make timestamps until Monday morning. Most of us watch the show at the weekend so it's an unfortunate setup. Solution: Pay someone overtime like Luke and Dan already are to make timestamps as the show progresses and publish them with the video.

[@MaybeAnnatar]

Do not use the switch flash cart unless you're dumping your own games on it and then keeping that game. If you return or resell that game and Nintendo sees two copies of the same serial game online at the same time *BOTH* Switch accounts could get banned. Also, if you are buying switch games physically to play online, do not under any circumstances buy used and also make sure the new game you bought is sealed. Otherwise you're running a risk that you're buying a game someone has dumped and you could have your account banned because THEY did that.

Regarding [3:52:25] about buying stuff at the LAN center - you could always keep the items in the back of the shop and have it as an item which you have to ask about to buy. Kinda like a hidden menu. Or possibly bring them out only during the lan events. Not sure if this would be too much effort but I think that's a kinda cool idea

[@benwu7980]

Pretty sure they'll have merch at the LAN's, but I think it to be a good idea to run the pro shop as just being targeted to the sports side of things. The 'hidden menu' could be an issue regarding it being a different company and the handling inventory and working out profits, but I'm sure they could figure something out if members enquire often enough.

I think as Chief Vision Officer linus should have veto the decision to include 6700xt/7700xt. Because anyone can easily understand you need to include the price competitor card from amd. 4080S - 7900xtx. 4070tiS - 7900xy. 4070S - 7800xt. Whatever else you include these three needs to be there. I dont know why floatplane people did not check this and provided a shoutout.

The Volt uses gas once a week even if you never drain the battery and will forcibly use the entire tank once a year if you don't end up using a tank's worth of fuel in that time. On EV vs gas driving habits; i have a Bolt EUV and in the last 6 months, 100% of my driving allowed for round-trips without stopping anywhere to recharge, and some of them were pretty far like 60 miles each way. I went full EV because hybrids don't offer enough advantages for me. I still have yearly oil changes to do at the most infrequent interval. And I still have gas to spend money on ON TOP of the electricity that it takes to recharge the traction battery. Range this, range that. Do people not recharge EVs and just buy a new one when it runs out of go go juice?

[@AzaIndustries]

The whole range shtick is BS coming from buthurt ICS lovers who are in denial about basing part of their personality on hating EVs. 99% of people don't got on long trips every weekend, 99% of people don't live hours away from work.
