Welcome to the comments section where you will find all the information you need about Linus's 'L' approach to the DarkViper response video.
In all seriousness, though, I've already apologized to Matt on Twitter. I'll make sure to watch it before next week's show and while I'm at it I'll create some guidelines for how to prepare summaries :/
It was a busy week and we had a new person on the show prep, but that's no excuse. You guys expect and deserve better. We'll address it next Friday. See you there, same bad time, same bad channel
EDIT: I have watched the video and re-watched the segment of the WAN Show. The notes were honestly pretty much fine (kudos new writer). Our response was also pretty much fine (we never intended to be evil content stealers anyway). The big issue is that we didn't take the time to watch DarkViper's video. It seems like we actually fundamentally agree on the vast majority of this, so my plan is to invite him on the show to clear the air. If he's too frustrated/upset to take me up on it, I understand, but I've reached out.

I mean this episode of the WAN show would be a great video for linus and luke to react to lol
Donut was a channel that I loved and ended up turning to tier lists/react type videos and it totally killed the channel for me.
1:38:00 Is okay to give options, but should be an opt-in not a opt-out, also a dollar amount of savings in electricity when you are writing an SSD with a 16GB every time you are suspending, you will create in a stupid way a ton of SSD e-waste so fast.
IMO this feature only makes sense in a portable console like a Switch, not in this one.
The Fox Xbox story is so embarrassing.
As a conservative, I don't watch fox bc they aren't conservative. The public perception is that they are.
How changing the default power setting is "woke" or a "slippery slope" is baffling to me. I'm more annoyed that my settings were changed without asking than I am about it "being woke" or something.
If Microsoft wants to hug some trees, they are free to do so but I don't like them changing my settings without my express knowledge or permission.
As far as fossil fuels and climate and stuff, I'm kinda in my own boat. I like saving fuel and being efficient bc it saves money and time. Whichever fuel does that best is what I'll probably gravitate towards. Right now, Lithium batts are a bandaid solution. We're swapping out fossil fuel (a limited resource) for lithium (another limited resource).
Electric is mostly source agnostic and I think electric cars are the way forward but the batts powering them are not. We need a power cell.
I'm not gonna cling to fosskl fuel for the sake of it tho. We have gas stations on almost every street corner. My car can go 350-400 miles on a single 10 gallon tank and takes less than ten minutes to refuel. I'll look into an electric vehicle when it can match or exceed that benchmark. Until then, gasoline is the most effective for both my time and money.
The climate is changing, of course it is. If the climate didn't change at least a little and stayed stagnant, that would be disastrous on a planet level. Personally I don't mind warming bc I don't find the idea of an ice age appealing. I'll grow oranges in Alaska and solve world hunger. Can't do that in cold climates.
I'm a conservative, but I'm not the slack-jawed doofus feeds on Fox like a zombie. It won't be long til fox goes the way of the dodo.
Reaction videos are the reality TV shows of internet. Lazy cash grabs and junk content. Disappointed. 👎
Just throwing out my 2 pence. I think you definitely need to see a video to be able to comment on it. You wouldn't be interested in someone's game or movie opinion if they hadn't seen the content but just other reviews lol
Linus was a real disingenous dense mf on this one.
Consider the majority of apple users, they could just make an app for all iDevices called 'Sell my device' or something which gives the users a one tap solution that wipes their data and reverts stupid authentication features to get the thing ready to be passed over. I'm sure someone at Apple could make this in a week tops.
Linus I have literally worked on a TP plant as an electrician upgrading their equipment lmao
I see 0 point of sleep, i shut everything down.
I'm curious of the difference in wattage that is required to fully power on an xbox compared to waking it up from sleep. I wonder how much is actually saved on average
Way to completely misrepresent the argument about the XBox update. The reason that people have a problem with it is that the update allows XBox to remotely shutdown your XBox for any reason that they want to. It isn't a good thing and sitting around laughing about it like ignorant morons isn't doing anyone any good. Take the time to read the story or don't talk about it because you just sound stupid. Also, the initial update did NOT allow you to set it back. The outrage caused them to quickly roll out another update with the option to set it back. Just so you know, repeating "who cares?" is not actually an argument but the answer to that question is…you care. You're the guys who brought it up, dummy.
Ive been a fan of ltt for a long time but oh my god this is an L
It's like watching a movie by reading the imdb reviews…
Hey Luke there are indoor birdfeeders remind Linus that. and there are outdoor birdfeeders they have cameras and there on Amazon ( how annoyingly, not that happy with them Amazon ) with cameras that can be purchased right now. I helped my mom set up to a school with the intention that the teachers will be able to remotely access the camera and talk about teach about birds. We bought a solar panel to charge it and what's the weather gets a little bit nicer we need to go figure out why they're not working. Corporate IT plus IOT …. grrrrrr.
Edit: and I literally just unpaused the video to find out that you know about the other products in the market…….
Bidet’s have changed my life. I buy a pack of toilet paper once every 6 months now.
I agree something is up with YouTube recommendations lately. I get a lot of feed video for content 1-5 years old lately.
You claim you're punching down and would therefore be considered a jerk, but reaction youtubers frequently punch down and the smaller creators get hit hard by it.
Nice
Linus' smile at 2.19.40 😂😂😂 thats a total troll smile!
Breaking news! Media group runs silly story straw manning Xbox power saving as a way to share political opinions!
This could describe both the original article, and the WAN reaction. I don't know why you and the writer "who was told not to editorialize" thought this was relevant news. Nobody cares about corporate news media running a nothing story about the "continued virtue signaling of woke companies" to pad publishing space just because it happened to use something tech and gaming related to talk about it.
Fox, CNN, anywhere sideways or between, it doesn't matter. It's the same product with different paint. I get tired of seeing people find weak political talking points to "own" like it matters to anybody. From owning the dumb libs, to owning the dumb guy at the Greta gig. Nobody wants to see a political circle jerk except for the political circle jerkers.
The LAN show is really good, much appreciated, even though you always denigrate all people over 50 as being tech morons. Enjoyed this one, among all the rest that helped me get through the COVID years without going totally insane. BTW, I first developed a love for tech as a kid, around age 13, when getting a shortwave radio for Christmas sparked an interest in HAM radio. Went on to have a computer/networking career at a university (now retired). Cheers.
Judging this WAN show on comments alone, this one looks like a bog OOF on linus' part.
I would still laugh if you released a short called "<new gpu> Early Benchmarks!" With bench chalk markings
I'm glad I'm not the only one who is consistently had to click to at least get a reasonable quality on videos lately. And yes Apple Lock in want the user interface want Software have to put up with the stupid company policies. That said it didn't used to be this way. I'm sitting on a Dell computer thats BIOS locked because the new owner bought it as a storage unit forfeiture auction and both the hard drive and BIOS are locked, effectively rendering it a brick expensive e-waste nice Dell brick. I could understand OK we have to replace the hard drive used to be there was at least some procedure for resetting the BIOS. Over in apple ecosystem land thats exactly what's happening with iDevices as well.
should’ve watched the darkviper video yalls
At least unethical reactors watch the sh*t they react to…
Urgh reacts. I don't mind those who do like them but zzzzzzz to me
Even more emblematic of a society that manufactures waste is a toilet paper *shortage*.
Daily Does of Internet licenses all the content they react to/showcase.
Let's talk about this video that we never watched.
Right wingers complain about something that isn't your insatiable desire to be the most self centered person you know challenge.
13:18 Is NOBODY, going to talk about how Linus just massively stepped in that? Then in real time, realized what he said, and just stared helplessly into the camera for like a solid 4 seconds? LMAO!
This time slot 3:09 is just priceless. Especially in relation to the DarkViper video since. It's like a self fulfilling prophecy 🤣
What's YT clips for then?
1:38:58 to be fair, it’ll suck the first time someone with a sub 50Mbps internet connection turns on their Xbox expecting to jump on a quick game with friends and is greeted with a 10GB+ update.
Right now it just goes overnight, so usually Xbox players don’t even see updates.
Reacting to a video you didn’t even watch is just lazy. Why even bring it up if you didn’t watch it. You won’t know the tone or context of the comments.
"Just Boinc it when not in use"!!!!
Boinc
loved this wan show! ♥
I've set up automations to submit my time sheets.
I refuse to watch any reaction content, because I'm not 12 years old. Build the platform up rather than dumbing it down.
Apple shouldn't be the one blamed for schools and companies mishandling their fleet. If you want to get mad at someone for e-waste, get mad at the user who doesn't properly dispose of it.
Microsoft changed sleep to power off settings for ALL users without permission or other notification. I had already changed the option when I bought my Xbox, and had to change it back.
As a note the power off setting disables the ability to remote play without manually turning the console on. I’m an edge case, but no one should change MY settings without asking.
i dont like that they want to take out Gas Stoves since people use that when there power goes out people that die from no Power also have no Gas Stove or a Gas Heater aswell
Linus is getting worse at jumping to conclusions recently. Feels like he has gotten too comfortable with coming up with excuses for his bad takes, and is assuming he is always capable of talking his way out. But more recently: his jumps in logic are further, his takes are more off base, his knee-jerk retaliation to being challenged or questioned at all seem arrogant, and he is now too far removed from the community and topics to relate with the audience. having a react channel seems like a bad idea based on his bad takes on wan show
