That multi-water cooling loop setup is the same way that the International Space Station regulates temperature.

Just as a clarification, the people who pirated LTT videos had never gained any benefits from uploading them. Most of the people are LTT fans who are passionate about promoting LTT on Chinese medias. Also, Bilibili has very strict protocols of how video uploaders should verify those video as "not original" and they should also state the URL of origin in the description. Yet, it is so happy to see Linus gave them approval to translate those video officially so more Chinese users could have the opportunities to know this great channel. Fantastic job Linus and wish you guys all the best luck in the new year!

In the bilibili platform, if the video uploaded by the user is actively marked as "reprinted", then the user will not receive any revenue. This is probably a special product of China's special network environment.

the so-called "subtitle groups" in China is some of the most awesome human being in the world. They "pirate" or download videos (usually anime, sometimes others like music or tech) from youtube or niconico(both inaccessable in China), translate them for free, then upload for everyone to enjoy. And they did it often with insane quality as well. For some anime that has a official translation subtitle, people will usually wait until the unofficial "subtitle group" to do a better job, then watch the subtitle group version instead of the official version. These are the kind of people that will sit in front of the computer for a new amine episode to release in japan. Then after one or two hours, boom, you can watch the new episode in bilibili, with subtitles, in insanely high quality, completely for free. They are the unsung hero of the Chinese internet, doing work just because they also love a creator or work. Being hired to do what they love as their job is the best thing that could've happened to these amazing people. (the one that did the translation for LTT is called 辉光字幕组NixieSubs, and they're one of the most devoted subtitle group that I've ever seen, going to the length of explaining many of the culture-specific terms in the subtitle, and making sure jokes/puns will still work after translation)

Everyone in China uses power strips or 1-to-3 outlet expanders that have multi-way receptacles. They have slits for the North American style, round holes that overlap the slits, and the official outlet shape superimposed. Some power strips have a couple positions with different (more) patterns. Many items found in the markets have power cords that are not right for China. They probably piggy-back the volume production that they manufacture for export. BTW, the "Chinese" language is like saying much of western Europe speaks the "European" language. You might recognize 8 distinct languages have a family resemblance as Romance languages, but you can't call that category itself a language. In Taiwan Hong Kong they speak Cantonese. In mainland China they speak Mandarin.

[@TotallyRandomStufff]

@@JohnDlugosz People in Taiwan mostly speak Mandarin. Some speak Taiwanese Hokkien or Hakka (mostly older generations nowadays in my experience), but few speak Canto. You may be getting confused with Hong Kong, where Cantonese is most people's first language (alongside English and, increasingly, Mandarin). Also, while the note on the diversity of languages spoken in the region is very much true (Cantonese and Mandarin, for instance, are far less mutually intelligible than Italian and Spanish), the pedantry isn't really necessary; many people in those areas themselves simply say they speak/read/write 'Chinese', and will specify if needed.

The "light" on top of the monitor is actually very useful for reading a technical book in front of your computer, on simply attenuating an aggressive monitor light when you are not gaming (my monitor hurts my eyes whatever the settings I choose), or illuminating a non backlit keyboard again when you are not gaming. In short, that light is much better than most desk lamps.

[@saltcutep]

I remember this was a stream openboxing the Bilibili version of the play button medal in which Linus and Dennis talked about this. Here is the whole stream: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYDJoayFg8Z1h9k Basically, there was group of people who knows English and Chinese well, and knows how to use KZbin. They like LTT videos very much and want more people in China to watch them, so they translate the videos and reupload them to Bilibili and other Chinese video sites. After a while, LTT staffs (I assume Dennis) found that there were people reuploading their videos without permission (therefore privating), and Linus just thinks it is actually a good idea to translate and upload the videos for Chinese viewers. So they made contract and hired the translators so that they can upload videos with permission, sometimes even arrange events like this one.

Technically speaking, this is not considered piracy. On the contrary, those who provide free translation services on bilibili (called 字幕组 in China) need to spend a lot of time (translation is not an easy task), without any income, and will indicate that the original video is from KZbin, not their own production. These people are a bit like Prometheus. In addition, Linus's channel has officially authorized the translation team on bilibili many years ago, and many other KZbin channels will authorize the translation team on bilibili. This is nothing new.

[@CaidicusProductions]

To be fair, Chinese people ALSO call it "Chinglish" when the translation is really bad. :P Source: I live and teach English in China. There are some things they take offense at, of course, but you'd be surprised how few those things actually are. They find it absolutely hilarious when I imitate the stereotypical heavy Chinese accent, while speaking English. I often do this as a way to illustrate how silly it can sound compared to how it should sound. They find it funny because it's exactly how some of their teachers sounded or how their classmates might sound, and they can hear how different it sounds from the way it SHOULD sound. They more so take offense towards things that actually matter, like how intentionally offensive the misconceptions about China or Chinese people can be, for example in western media or western news. Things that actually matter, really. :P Anyhow, this video is hilarious. I hope it comes across clearly, to the viewers in the west, just how much of a sense of humor Chinese people have. They like a good laugh as much as anyone. :D

[@conormurphy4328]

Yea it’s definitely an overreaction to think that Chinglish is such an offensive word that needs to be censored. It’s not, it’s literally a fusion of two words that describes incorrect translations, it’s no more offensive than saying “incorrectly translated English”

[@deepseer]

Chinese people do feel offensed if they think that your "sterotypical heavy Chinese accent" is incorrect. The worst of all is, mixing up Chinese accent with Japanese and Korean accent. For example, never say Chinese people don't distinguish "l" and "r". Chinese people would think that it's Japanese accent, although in some dialects these sounds are barely distinguishable. Mandarin Chinese "l": very close to English hard "l". Mandarin Chinese "-r" (Beijing accent, Erhuayin): similar to English soft "l". Mandarin Chinese "r-" = something like /j/ (closer to French) but quite different from "l". However, in the transliteration of English names they usually use "l" instead of "r". English name "Ray" becomes Chinese "lei", although it is much closer to Chinese "rui".

[@xw3132]

@@deepseer the "-r" and "r-" in Beijing accent Mandarin is exactly the "r" in english.

[@deepseer]

@@xw3132 No. The Chinese "r-" (of "ri" or "re") is quite far away from any "r" in English. You might find something similar in French "j". The Chinese "-r" is similar to the "-r" at the end of words ("-er") that can be heard in American English.
