[4:02:17] Outro.
Side note: While I understand the preference of having chapters for a 3H+ podcasts as soon as possible, I should've never started doing them on time as I've set unrealistic expectations for myself and others who would be interested in creating timecodes – it's mentally taxing to do them at 4-10 AM, and I've done at least 128 by now with a past attempt to retire haha.
Starting today, I'll be adopting WAN Show's Soon™ strategy, which means I'll create & post them whenever I'm ready. Some WAN Shows might have instant ones, others might be delayed by up to two days, no promises.
Thank you for your patience today, donations link on my channel's about page if you're interested.
13:43 Luke has the strap way too low which is focusing the pressure to his forward. It’s crazy how easy it is to balance the weight yourself by moving the strap up or down yet only about 50% of people actually do it
14:56 moving the headband up would also fix his complaint about the cable touching his ear
15:49 weird how Linus just rips on Apple because if Luke wanted to wear the headband higher he couldn’t? He could but neither of them made an attempt to simply move it up
Was shaven Linus a deep fake the whole time??!!! 🤔 🤔
PH app dev get this shit to mass market already
Dear Luke: Replacing Logitech mouse switches is very ezpz with a soldering iron. I bought the "RUNJRX Black Kailh GM 8.0 Mouse Switch for Gaming Mouse 4Pcs" for $10 USD, so I fixed four of my old Logitech mice.
My Logitech G305 the right click is dying but all I have to do is take the battery cover off and squeeze a certain spot really hard and then it works again for months.
AI linus might be great when having to add in a fix where one person misspoke. a lot better then putting a text on the screen.
Luke is driving me crazy this week. 1. learn to solder and just replace the witches in your mice and stop wasting money on logo plastic because a $2 switch broke. This can be done with a cheep harbor freight soldering iron and like an hour of practice. 2. Did you forget humbling bundle exists? They have loot box ish subscription service that is great and gives you steam codes and isn’t evil. I listen to the podcast on Spotify on my commute to work. But I had to come over here to leave a comment because I was getting so mad. (that’s probably a me problem though)
1:40:30 you literally have to be a locksmith my cousin is and he can do that just by seeing a key😅😅
I’ve never had an issue with teams at work, weird.
Excel from google is very limiting. I also remember google docs missing some word features.
When is the review of the fairphone releasing…
I thought LL already knew that owning games on Steam is not owning them frfr 100%?
2:50:00 here is your solution you send every customer a physical copy upon request or you add infrastructure to support what they paid for
I absolutely hate how Epic Launcher loads the game store page every time on start-up and every time you exit a game and how it flashes the Taskbar icon to get your attention. It is just like MS forcing Edge down your throat every time you press F1 or open a link via an OS setting or resource… I honestly hate Edge and the Epic Launcher just because of those reasons … sneaky tactics. I am all for Chrome and Steam because they do not obviously and forcedly shove products down your throat like that. Remember google had the moto "Don't be evil" .. but they seem to have dropped it? … hmmm. Maybe time to drop google too… I don't like to use a product I don't trust…
I have a Logitech 603 mouse. I had the same issue with the mouse click no longer working. I purchase some OMRON micro switches to replace the cheap switches that logitech used. I also upgraded the encoder scroll wheel to a different brand for a better feeling scroll.
avoiding sun damage is the best hydrafacial 😉
Caught in 4k Luke confirmed Shylily fan.
Womp womp.
With the pictures of keys thing, I think alot of people don't realise quite how easy it is to pick locks. I learned to pick one in under an hour with tools you can buy online
I think the deepfake audio sounds like Linus — but under far more ordinary circumstances. Example:
Linus wrote an sample-script for a power supply video. For whatever reason, he couldn't send it electronically. Now frustrated and tired, he resorts to calling the intended recipient. But, Linus gets their voicemail. Reluctantly, he reads the sample-script to the voicemail — as clearly and as slowly as he can. Linus doesn't want them calling back for clarification. 🤷🏾♂️
Really like the no-beard look 👍very clean, looks smart, looks younger, looks more professional especially being in IT.
N-real air2 pro basically does the same ting for a fraction of the price.. Apple make lovely looking hardware but have not truly innovated in years.. apparently 10 years of R&D on this and its nothing really special
For the 'Steam Plus' concept – I think a rolling library of Indie games would be a good shout. Say you get 6-8 different indie games every month, then that library changes the following month. Kinda like a trial period
It'd allow small indie dev teams to get their names out and give people a chance to play their games and decide whether it's worth their cash
Big business transactions will just need to revert to in person meetings… Simple
2:02:46 Don't spend $100/month on this garbage, eat more fruit and vegetables. If you think you're deficient in something, get some blood work done. This AG1 stuff is way overpriced for what you actually get, and it's not a substitute for eating prebiotics (like fibre)
am i the only one who doesnt like that the WAN show and the other vids are on the same channel. i watch most of the normal videos but I have no time to watch a 4 hour podcast
😴😴
Linus censored "shrek it" at around 1:20:00.
I agree 100 percent with Linus on the keys topic
Every time they talk about teams (aka every week lol) I am constantly amazed at the problems they have. I've used exclusively teams for years now for work, and I'm not saying it is perfect, but I've never had the level of problems they seem to talk about.
Yeah we might actually have to implement "2 factor authentication" and not "alternate factor authentication"!
What if before a service removed Contant, they gave 2 months notice to all users to download that they can download their entire library to an 8TB+HDD?
One of the mini annoying things about PDF is it supposed to be a read only document the equivalent of a paper document (sure you can make multiple copies of a paper document and go through copy revision hell and copy degradation or physical copy paste). but then we have all these people who want to edit these PDF documents because we have people who have send them a PDFs when they should've sent the original originating word document.
1:06:57 for less than $5 you can buy aftermarket ear tips that are much better in Black that lasts longer😅
Hey Luke tell Linus you can resize the dock to get more screen real estate you can also put it to the left or the right. I usually do the right. between those two things you actually get some screen real estate. But don't try to run two monitors and use "full screen" mode because fullscreen mode is made for unitasking. Play broken some things over the last few years like the last five versions. It didn't used to be this way, but I'm also buying a framework.* (disclosure: Linus is an investor in….) The apple apple the Apple ecosystem was quite nice because things worked reliably and with other things like the airport wireless stuff worked really well. But just the other day I tried to share something between my phone and computer with AirDrop and it didn't work wasn't that important for me to dig out a cable.
I will always hate pdf files. Those guys should stay in prison
Good thing I just bought a flipper (only as decoration, don't worry government)
I'm a logitech fanboy. I prefer a MX Master 2S. Not so much a gaming, but great for cad with infinite scroll, side scrool, forward and back button. Just feels right.
Linus, did you mean PQRS wave? I'm not sure you meant sine wave.
01:08:09 why not spend time on this in the review ? You're saying people don't give enough attention to the fact that apple is shitting on them with every product, so talk about it, a lot.
