from my understanding linus has adhd, which really explains his presentation in vids. we are looking at his hyperfixation!!! but that also explains his whole "i tend to go into TOO much detail" thats a HUGE adhd thing.

In case anyone is wondering months after the episode released, the 40 dollar word Linus was referring to at 9:00 for apple icons is probably "Skeumorphism", in practice meaning that the interface resembled and graphically emulated its physical counterpart. Like a notepad app with punched out holes on the side or a paper textured background. Apple moved away from this style with iOS7 and it caused a huge kerfuffle.

edit: lmao he mentions it later in the episode, serves me right for commenting before finishing the video

19:30 i feel attacked XD

They forgot to mention Amazon’s HORRIBLE delivery personnel. Whenever I order from somewhere else, the product arrives in my mailbox, or in the package dropbox I installed on my porch. Every time I order from Amazon – EVERY time – it is thrown “somewhere” on my property. It usually winds up tossed on my porch, exposed to the elements and people passing by. Forget the dropbox I installed, even small envelops that would easily fit in my mailbox are simply dropped on the ground. Once a small package didn’t even make it to my pouch – it was left in the driveway.

I’ve complained every time this has happened, and Amazon has done NOTHING to remedy the issue. So I’m taking my business elsewhere. If I can find it somewhere else, I buy it from somewhere else. Preferably from a local company.

Linus should try a Sony Xperia 5 II, Xperia 1 II or Xperia Pro.

18:10 – Host if the video should be picked by the level of technicality of the video. Anthony hosting RGB build seems kinda ironic choice for example. And as Linus said he had no idea about majority of stuff he talked about in the error 43 video.

The $40 word Jonathon Horst mentioned at 8:35 was "skeumorphic". It's a design philosophy that states that software applications should be try to represent and emulate the physical object who's function they're fulfilling. For example, the Notes app should look like yellow legal pad, and it's font should look like ballpoint pen handwriting. The Clock app should look like an analog clock. Flipping through your contacts should look and sound like flipping through a Rolodex.

Skeumorphic design was a core part of the iOS design language and it was part of Steve Jobs's unshakeable religion. But, after iOS 7, the design language switched and became far more "flat". Flat designs simply try to reduce as much friction as possible between the user desired action and the input required to undergo that action and produce the result in the neatest, cleanest view possible. The most obvious example of the shift in design language is looking at the old YouTube app icon (a cutesy little representation of a CRT TV) versus the new one (just the flat YouTube logo). It reflects a shift in Apple's design priorities – from iOS 7, they've basically said, "we don't have to 'on board' our users to our products by making them comparable to similar physical objects they've used before as a reference point; in fact, for most of our users, the iPhone is the reference point, anyways." And that's the philosophy that most UX design on modern smartphones try to follow these days; nowadays, the skeumorphic philosophy looks kitschy and dated.

You are aware that you need a 0:00 timestamp in the description for it to show on the timeline right?

40:14 That little tidbit there Linus just spoke about was right at the heart at what makes his channel what it is, and , luckily for him, he has an upbeat, manic, super enthusiasm about his passion, computers ! He doesn't take himself too seriously and has the razor sharp instinct on how to keep riding that success train. That's one thing I really have to congratulate him on, he has managed, god only knows how, to keep his content very fresh and it never feels like the sun is going to set on LTT……

"Amazon search is fantastic"… Are you criminally insane?

Apple Talk would have been nice as it's a old Trademark also 😀

I bet they used zip recruiter

This is weeks old so no one will probably read this, but the game looks like Bravely Default with the character inspired by Nier. I'd almost refuse to believe the Brave Default look wasn't inspired by it at least.

1:28:17 Is it Tronicsfix? Sounds like him, he does great videos and usually does giveaways for the consoles he fixes as well!

Err, I can see the subscriber count just fine, while being subscribed. 13.3m at the time of writing.

What about scrapyard wars: european tour (once things calm down). So you'd have (potentially) language barrier, unfamiliar currency and prices as well as city layout, etc.

My company hires a bunch of people who can't stand working at Amazon warehouses anymore and I don't think we pay as well.

Red head, no soul, just like apple. JK love tech in general. If its tech forward, I love it.

The thing is… those small design changes DO matter. Do they functionally make something better? No? They make it "novel". And people are drawn to novelty… HOWEVER, if you just make something different for the sake of being different, you can easily get into this trap of gluing on these useless features just for the sake of adding something "new" without thinking of whether you "should" add it.

How many people complained that the iPhone design was "boring" and old… there was nothing "functionally" wrong with the design.

Apple (generally) designs with purpose. That's why they make small little changes to colours and rounded edges. Sure it doesn't "matter" that they released a purple iPhone. It's not a "measurably" better design in many cases… the measurably better part comes from the stuff you can't see. Changing the colors helps the human brain REALIZE that it's measurably better inside as well as novel outside.

As for little improvements here and there between iOS versions… you're right… you don't notice the difference. GOOD design gets out of the way. It's intuitive enough that it disappears. Designers spend months perfecting things like accelerated scroll speeds to mimic the natural acceleration curve we're used to in nature. Copying how things move in the natural world. You don't notice it because it's familiar.

Take a look at the rounded edges of the iPhone XR. You can't round the edges of an LCD like an OLED due to light bleed… so Apple could have just done what most do and just have not perfectly rounded corners or straight edges, but rather than that they added fricken aperture shutters for the rounded corners so that it matches the OLED rounded corners as a kind of hardware antialiasing. https://www.theverge.com/2018/10/23/18011306/apple-iphone-xr-review-camera-screen-battery-price Necessary? No of course not… but that kind of attention to detail will never be actually noticed, but it's a quality that you end up feeling. It's not a feature that "matters" just like painting the back of a cabinet doesn't "matter" as no one will see it… but it's something that you SHOULD do even if the difference isn't that perceptible.

However, it's hard to sell a new feature that is so intuitive that it disappears… so you use things that don't really matter. Color. It keeps people from complaining that something feels "old" or stale… On the other hand, adding something for JUST the sake of it being new will QUICKLY date the device.

Id watch / listen to that Gaming Podcast!

Channel superfun remind me of Node

Why can't I find Floatplane when searching on Duck Duck Go? 'Floatplane', 'Floatplane Media', 'Floatplane tech' , 'Floatplane video'. None of it works to find the site. I can find Twitter and Facebook social links, and videos on youtube that mention floatplane. It seems you might have a SEO blind spot with some search engines.
