I called BS on it. And welcome to the WAN show, ladies and gentlemen. We've got a fantastic show for you lined up today, brought to you by Raid Shadow Legends. Yeah! Raid Shadow Legends! I'm 100% kidding, but we will talk about that little bit of controversy that took place this week. We're also going to be talking about whether or not

you should actually leave WhatsApp. That's right. We're going to talk about whether you should leave WhatsApp. What do you got, Luke? There's a new CEO coming into town for Intel. Oh, yeah. That's exciting and hopefully good. And Google purchases Fitbit, sort of, maybe kinda, yeah. Hey, Android Wear couldn't get worse. Got them. Yeah. And let's roll that intro. Apparently I'm slightly higher up. Miniature slouch. I don slightly higher up. Do you want to do a miniature slouch?

I don't even care. All right, let's get this party started. Every platform is working, guys. It's all working. It's all good. So why don't we jump right into our headline topic of the day. Earlier this week, YouTube channel Linus Tech Tips, which is owned by Linus Media Group Incorporated,

put up a video about this like crazy rugged Ethernet cable that's like super strong and it's resistant to being cut or crushed or torn apart. And, you know, it was a pretty cool video, pretty cool video. People liked it. We think. We're not sure because more than 10% of the interaction with the video through the like and dislike buttons was negative, was a dislike. And it felt like a good 90% of the comments were not about the video at all,

but rather about the sponsorship that took place within the video for a mobile game known as Raid Shadow Legends. So Luke, first of all, I just want to thank you for coming onto the show sponsored by Raid Shadow Legends. Of course. Could you just tell me what's your favorite game? Is it Raid Shadow Legends or Raid Shadow Legends?

That's what I thought. Can you just tell me a little bit about what you like so much about Raid Shadow Legends or Raid Shadow Legends? That's what I thought. Can you just tell me a little bit about what you like so much about Raid Shadow Legends? I really like the variety of characters. My favorite one is Grodark the Orc. He's really good. He's a five-star Orc fighter. And I just really like playing the game. You really like googling him for

three seconds before the show starts today oh i totally yeah yeah i have no idea i came up with that i didn't even google that i didn't even bother wait did you make that up grow dark is nothing okay i didn't even know i just assumed that was one of the actual heroes or excuse me legends legends yes yes of course uh yeah that you raid with grow dark i'm not entirely sure what you what you raid but you well shadows i thought ah yeah i think you raid shadows as legends uh although it's also possible that you raid as shadow legends and what you raid is actually sort of up in the air. Okay, so anyway, in response to the controversy, okay, so first things first, there's a lot of assumptions that we are like desperate for money or that raid shadow Shadow Legends paid some kind of ludicrous fee to sponsor Linus Tech Tips video. So two things. Number one is if the hiring page on linusmediagroup.com

is anything to go by. And I'm going to go ahead and pull that up for you guys right here. Linusmediagroup.com. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Okay. I'm going to pull that up for you guys here. I'm going to display capture. Hey, look at this guy. This team t-shirt here. Jobs. Here we go. If the hiring page on LinusMediaGroup.com is anything to go by,

I think we are doing okay for money. We are expanding. We are in hyper expansion mode right now. As for whether we got paid a ton, if anything, based on what I found out later that we were paid for the sponsor spot, I sent some emails to our business team asking if maybe the sponsorship rate

was not competitive with what some other YouTubers might be getting from them. I did get answers that I mostly accepted. So our sponsorship deal with them was different than what other people necessarily do with them. But I'll say this, the rate was not higher or lower. It was kind of like right in the middle for us

in terms of what a spot like that would cost. And quite honestly, you know, whenever we don't have a spot, we have strong affiliate partners that we can kind of plonk into those spots that will work out great for us. So there's no, there was no desperation. And I actually didn't even know we were doing the spot until like I read it on the teleprompter. And I was like, oh, wow. So we're doing a Raid Shadow Legends spot. And the response was, yeah, it's no big deal.

We've actually done one before. And I was like, oh, really? And they were like, oh, yeah, you probably didn't do the read for it because it was on TechLinked. And I was like, oh, OK, sure, fine. So there are a couple of things that are bad here that I do want to acknowledge. So one is that the way the read was structured, it really did make it sound like I had a favorite hero. And what I was really saying was, yeah, as part of our due diligence process with anything,

we will at least use it a little bit. And by we, I don't mean necessarily me. I mean, someone at Linus Media Group will dink around with it a little bit and make sure it's like is it actually a game or is it just mining bitcoin on your phone while you're while you're sitting idle you know like does it actually do what it says it's supposed to do and yes we we did that due diligence although it's not really necessary i think everyone knows Raid Shadow Legends is an actual game. But it made it sound like I was the one who played the game.

I don't play mobile games. I have enough distractions on my phone as it is. I actually... Here, you know what? I'm not sure. I don't want to lie to you guys. So I'm going to make sure this is actually correct. But I don't think I have a single game

installed on my phone. So I've got... So I still got the Air Canada app. Oh, no, I lied. I have 21 marbles. I actually don't think I have a single game installed on my phone. So I've got, so I still got the Air Canada app. Oh no, I lied. I have 21 marbles. I actually don't know what that is. I have chess free. Did it come with your phone?

I got chess free. No, no, it didn't. It didn't. I would have wiped my phone. So I got chess free up in here. Got that brilliant. It's like not really a game though. It's more of like a learning app.

I got Disneyland, COVID alert. I feel like something incriminating is going to come up here at some point. Got that float plane, Luke. Got that float plane right there. What else we got? You know, Grouse Mountain. It's a nice mountain.

You got to go there sometimes. I think I still have the Vessel app somewhere. Got my Kindle app. Retroarch. I have Retroarch on herearch on here okay well i don't use it so that should give you some idea i think i still do i still have the vessel app hold on on lnupq rstv oh no it must have gone away at some point oh got that united airlines space team what the yeah i think i got you to install space team oh that thing okay that that's pretty fun that's pretty fun okay so i lied that's not really like that's that's a that's almost like

a board game style thing okay you can't play it by yourself i lied i have four games installed on my phone i actually didn't know that they were there um so i shouldn't have done that the other thing that upset me to find out about afterward is that one of the things that we've told our viewers is that while not every sponsor necessarily has to be one that I absolutely am in love with and use absolutely every day, although a lot of them are. Like you saw PIA on there. You saw Brilliant on there. These are services that I and many of the people at our company actually do use and love. What we care about a lot is the integrity of the companies that we deal with and that the product does what it says on the tin.

So just because a particular product or service is not something that I need in my daily life, as long as they do what they say they're going to do and someone needs that product or service, then we got no problem with that. And Raid Shadow Legends, from what I could tell, pretty much does what it says on the tin. You raid stuff, you're like a legend or something, and you endlessly loot.

I'm Grodark or whatever I said. Yeah, Grodark the orc or whatever. You endlessly loot meaningless dungeons. And I thought we were all pretty freaking clear about what it was and there's microtransactions because other otherwise it wouldn't exist and so okay i so i was just like yeah okay so like whatever raid shadow legends as if you haven't heard of it here here's this game that i guess you can play if you really want to we even said right in the sponsor spot we were like yeah we know rage shadow legend sponsorships are a bit of a meme now but like hey if you never heard of it somehow go ahead and try it but what i found out afterward

because i asked the community i tweeted afterward i was like hey like why are you guys so mad about this like not not i'm not trying to be combative. I just literally want to know why. I legitimately am curious. Why are you so mad? And what they were mad about was some of the ways that Raid Shadow Legends parent company has interacted with the community in the past. So doing things like denying that they had ever,

that they had ever sponsored anyone like with money and they were like like yeah like there's a tweet from a community manager or something that's like raid shadow legends is only endorsed by people who absolutely love the game and play it and just want to talk about it we've never we've never paid anyone for a sponsorship and i was like why would you even yeah that's a weird thing to lie yeah it's like lying about the crowd size at your inauguration it's like so easily it's so easy to validate that that's not what happened so why would you bother why are you treating me like i'm stupid like it's just disrespectful you know what i mean um so that upset me um and then the other

thing is like there are some people that were like, look, from my point of view, it's a predatory business, and so we don't like to see you guys effectively profiting off of that kind of a predatory business model. In fairness, I think that is a fair viewpoint, but I also think that it's going to be a very different line that any individual is going to draw. So would you say the same thing of World of Warships?

It's free to play. It has microtransactions up the butt. They have done some very, very questionable things with their community. Like there was that holiday thing where there was a bunch of challenges or something and if you complete them you get like this epic legendary ship or something like that but members of the community did the math and it was like actually completely physically humanly impossible to complete like within the time window that they had for it and they just like

unless you do some microtransaction transaction stuff like no you just like actually could not or yeah you couldn't get it for free basically but they were saying you could do it for free if i recall correctly so it's like but people are mostly not mad about world of warships because the general consensus among the community is that it's not like it's not too pay to win. So here's where I had decided I thought Raid Shadow Legends was okay. The fact that it is a single player experience for me made it not pay to win in a sense that mattered. I never thought of winning a single player game as mattering at all like i have gotten into games that are very micro transaction-y like uh what's that what's that tower tiny tower i loved tiny tower like years ago and it really bothered me when it gets to the point in the game where you

can only do like two things and then you have to wait to the next day and yeah that last lord of the rings um shadows of mordor game where you could do like i think it was three quarters of the game but then the last quarter of the game is like yeah it's it's probably possible without microtransactions but they make it just a horrible experience so for me it was as simple as okay i'm just gonna stop playing tiny tower and i see it i see i see all the different perspectives here um but the reason that i had decided i thought it was fine to just take their money and run was because there was no one that you were winning against so who cares um right yeah and honestly there so there was some legitimate feedback like that. I'm explaining why I thought it was okay in spite of that feedback.

But most of the negative feedback really seemed to come down to, I'm just tired of hearing about Raid Shadow Legends. And so I guess like, I guess I just don't really know how to, I don't really know how to address that. Like, it's not my fault that Raid Shadow Legends or Dyson or whoever else decides to do a big marketing push when they decide to do it and that I happen to be part of it. Um, and the problem for me is that even though most people in the community, like even in the chat right now, people are like, yeah, whatever, who cares? Like, thank you for doing your sponsorships in a way

where all I have to do is double tap the right arrow key and I don't have to listen to it at all. Like the way that we integrate it really is meant to be completely seamless for a tech savvy viewer. You know, no big deal. But that small number of like sort of people who are really upset about it kind of ruins the experience for us as content creators like luke think back to when you uploaded a video that you wrote and you hosted and you felt like 98 of it was really great content yeah okay i'm sure i've already led you enough on this one. Talk about that. Yeah. It's well, it's frustrating because like you, you make this piece.

Um, and I, I can think back to quite a few different videos that I would have been notably proud of. I'm not, I don't necessarily remember the comment sections on them at this time, but you make this thing and you're really, really excited about it. And then all the comments are about some stupid thing, whether it's like, I guess, the ad spot, if they didn't like the ad spot, or like you had a pimple,

or like something like walked past in the background or something. And just all the comments are about this like extremely, to me at least, inconsequential thing that happened. And it's like, no, I did this thing that's cool. Let's talk about that. But yeah, it's frustrating for sure. It can be a downer. So it's one of those things where I think for the time being, we're probably not going to work with them. But honestly, it doesn't have much to do with me thinking that their business model is particularly that different from any other like pay to win mobile game or really anything that's got a lot of microtransactions in it. To me, it's all kind of the same thing.

It's just more to do with like, I guess for better or for worse, the community has decided that they do not accept this. And so in the interest of me having fun making videos, I'm just going to not do it for now. And again, like I said, I don't like dealing with companies that I don't think do a good job of maintaining transparency because that's really important to me. I mean, I don't care if your product is like a toe, like thing that's designed to help you slice off your own toe. Like if it's, as long as you're honest about it, you know,

like as long as you don't advertise it as like, you know, a cordless, you know, sandwich grill or something like that. And then it like slices off your toe. If you're like, yeah, this is for like, if you feel like you have too many toes and you want to cut one off, that's what it does. Uh, you want to live that toeless life. Uh, we're here to help you as far as I'm concerned, as long as the talking points are straightforward and are like, I get, I can be honest with the viewers about what exactly it does. Like it doesn't,

doesn't matter much to me. See, here's the thing okay like we got a lot of really sort of irrational stuff here uh gamer 4556ism says the game is a scam what do you mean scam how is it a scam it's honestly um i'm bringing this message from aj and he's he's very right about this i can i can understand the anger over the ad and there is actually um a pretty good solution that can be enacted uh by by anyone frustrated or anyone not frustrated by the legends ad to be completely honest it's simple the process isn't that difficult um it's like a few clicks to be completely get on with on with it. You see the same content. You just subscribe on Flowplay.

Big guy. No, it's all. No more Raid Shadow Legends ads. No big deal. I didn't even know this was a problem because I just watch content on Flowplay. All right. All right. Easy.

Let's go ahead and move on to our next topic. This is another highly controversial topic right now. James actually put a freaking ton of notes in the document. And it's funny because I had a meeting with him recently where he talked about how he was going to talk to one of the other writers about putting less detailed notes in the doc because he and the writer who wrote it were realistically the only ones that were actually going to read it to that level of detail because he knows that like we don't read them carefully we need something we can skim these like giant paragraphs or but there is actually some really good info here so why don't we run through some of it the question is should

you leave whatsapp yes so let's go uh it it varies basically some of the information that was that was disseminated uh very recently about whatsapp and about the information that was going to be shared between whatsapp and facebook uh was was incorrect there has been clarifications posted by facebook explaining what's going on and essentially information messages etc between yourself and like your friends or family members or whatever is Theoretically not going to be shared. It's just going to be messages between you and a business on whatsapp That is shared that is optional at the same time and users who opted out of all information sharing back in 2016, I believe are opted out of this, but no other users are.

Yeah. So it's not like all the information on WhatsApp. It's just the business stuff. And your messages between friends, family, et cetera, are still encrypted and whatnot. And I believe they even use, uh, yeah, they use the signal protocol anyways. Um, and signal is the main thing people are pointing, including myself are pointing, um, that people should go use. So I would still just move over to signal personally.

Um, I think that's still the answer. I just think the reason for that answer has definitely changed. And it's not as bad of a situation as we thought it was, which is good, but I would still move to Signal, personally. So from my point of view, this does make me feel a lot more comfortable. Yeah. You know, my understanding, not looking at it that closely initially was like, oh, OK, basically WhatsApp is now another data collection tentacle that Facebook was end to end encrypted and that the service provider would not have any access to the communication that I was sending and receiving over it. So that was like the whole freaking point. And it's like it started to feel like, man, am I going to have to do this like every couple of years? So when Google or Microsoft

comes in and buys Signal another year or two from now. Am I going to have to like keep jumping between messaging applications? And now that I see this, I'm like, oh, maybe it's like, it's not that I don't still think it's a good idea to switch over to Signal or Telegram, but it's more like, is it worth the hassle? But then there's a danger there. Um, is it worth the hassle? But then there's a danger there. If every time we ask this question, Facebook is kind of moving the, moving the goalposts just a little bit. Straight up lied about this stuff in the past. Yes. So if they're moving the goalposts just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit. And every time it's like not enough,

it's not worth the hassle. It's not worth the hassle. It's not worth the hassle. it's like not enough. It's not worth the hassle. It's not worth the hassle. It's not worth the hassle. Um, then there is that danger that at some point you're going to end up way past the line where you intended to be. And, um, and you're going to be somewhere where you feel like you've forgotten that you're not comfortable with it. That's, that's the reason why I might look at it and go, yeah, okay, this is, this is probably worth it. Yeah. I just, Facebook has has lied to the face of everyone they possibly could in the past about this type of stuff. Um, so the clarification is good and it makes me less like I need to make sure

everyone I know gets off of this thing. Yeah. But I would still suggest that people move off of WhatsApp. Now let's go back and let's... They're clearly getting their grubby little fingers in there. Let's talk about that mentality. Like the everyone I know absolutely needs to get off of this mentality. Because the cold hard truth is that most of the people you know already use Facebook anyway.

And I don't want to be that guy that's like well you shouldn't care about your privacy because it's already not private but if you already use facebook like who cares honestly honestly depends what you're using it for i think text messages are quite all-encompassing and you get text messages from, um, like, like any time there's any security hole. Like if, if, if Facebook is like, yeah, we're going to share this information internally, that's increasing the amount of, um, points of access. So like if, if you don't have that, that's good. I can, I got a text message from my credit card company today. That was unfortunate. But it's something that can happen, right?

So like I would rather those messages were private. And at least myself personally, like I have a Facebook account. I originally made that Facebook account because people were making fake ones of me and that was annoying. I remember that actually. Yeah. me and that was annoying i remember that actually yeah and i i only use it for communication with my like very very very close family and i don't have it installed on my phone right so like it's not able to scrape info from from that point it's it's only in a browser and i only use it for that type of communication so it's pretty limited and i feel like a lot of people's usage of facebook these days is becoming more and more limited.

Best in getting, getting one of those kits and getting tested. And I had expressed my strong preference that they not do it because of how closely blood related they were to me and how much information that puts out there about me. And they went and did it anyway. So I'm like, actually I'm still like pretty off about that. I there about me. And they went and did it anyway. So I'm like, actually,

I'm still like pretty off about that. I'm not impressed. I sent like a very, very long, detailed, and I think very cogent argument for why I felt like it was important for them to not do that. And I was ignored. So there's like,

there's a certain amount of just respect for the people that you correspond with when it comes to choosing secure messaging applications. Actually, I'm all fired up about this now. So here's, here's what I sent. I've been deciding whether to send this or not, it might affect whether you decide it might not affect whether you decide to use the genetic test you got for Christmas. But these tests are not well regulated. And we've only begun to explore the way that the data in them will be used by private companies and government entities. I felt like I needed to speak up. Here's some reading material. When you do one of these genetic tests, and I linked to an article that kind of explained it, when you do one of these genetic tests it doesn't just affect you and your privacy, it

affects anyone related to you, including me, helping them build out their database. Their privacy policy may prevent them from selling individualized data at this time, but we've seen many times that Silicon Valley companies will start out with robust privacy policies and slowly tip away at them over time. We've also seen acquisitions and mergers that do not preserve these protections. The issue is that unlike an interest in cars or whatever, your genetic information doesn't change, so this data is given up permanently. I'm not a tinfoil hat wearer by any stretch of the imagination, but given what is already accessible to advertisers, insurance agencies, etc., I would rather pay for you to have a genetic test done in a medical slash diagnostic setting

if you really want to know. That way the data will at least have a chance of being safe. And basically what was sent back to me was, your message adds to the consideration for sure, in more words. And then I never heard back. And I, it was sort of mentioned in offhand conversation later that this individual had just gone ahead with it.

And I don't know. I just, I felt, I felt very, I felt kind of violated. I would have like, if I was that person, I would have absolutely just taken you up on your offer.

I've been like, Hey, I can get a better one done. That's also like more confidential. Like, cool. I would have been happy to pay for it. Like, that's a trivial expense from my point of view for something like this. And I know that I do tend to have a pretty laissez-faire attitude when it comes to things like my digital information, at least that which I decide to share publicly. And the reason for that is, you know, back to the ship has sailed argument. My ship has sailed. I am a digital influencer at this point. There are

literally thousands of hours of footage of me on Google and Facebook servers. Like my privacy is donezo. You know, if Google wanted to, they could know absolutely everything about me based on just cross-referencing information that I've, things that I've talked about, things that I've shown in videos. Nothing is a secret to them about me at this point. But, you know, something like, again, back to the argument that I made about genetic information and the fact that it doesn't change and that it's just irreversible. Like it's not, this is not a trivial, like, oh gee, I wonder if I have some like Irish in me. This is, that's not that kind of decision you're making. That's a terrible, terrible approach. So yeah, again, back to WhatsApp then. For me, like, you know, what I ate for dinner or

like what widget I'm thinking of buying, like the things, the kinds of things that I talk about in text message, to me, it's not terribly important. But I'm also in kind of a unique position where I do literally none of my own confidential communication. Like I don't do any of my own confidential communication. Like, I don't do any of my own banking. My wonderful chief financial officer over there does all of it. So, I don't know. So, Luke, tell me this. Would you feel betrayed if I was like, no, Luke, forget it.

I'm staying on WhatsApp, and if you want to talk to me, you're going to have to talk to me on WhatsApp. I'm staying on WhatsApp. And if you want to talk to me, you're going to have to talk to me on WhatsApp. Are you thinking or muted? Oh, okay.

I was thinking. No, I don't think so. My reason is just that I would censor my communications to you. Sure. And that's fair. That's fair enough. And that would have to just be the trade-off is it's going to be like a partially muted conversation. I think both you and I are kind of chat application

chameleons, though. Like there's people that I encounter like in the real actual world that are like, hey, you know, don't bother applying to join this group or this team if you don't use iMessage or like don't bother replying to this dating profile if you don't use iMessage or and I'm sitting here going what like I was talking to James about this earlier that's one of the reasons that this uh this is in the doc and I was like yeah like to me what difference does it make? You know, what application shows at the top of the notification shade or like whether this one supports stickers or that one has an emojis

or this one has cheers or like who cares? There are no less than, I think it was 10, 10 chat apps. And I counted things like Twitter and Instagram as like private messaging apps because realistically that's like what they are for a lot of people there was no less than 10 on my phone and i'm just like so what so i think you have kind of a similar attitude to me where you'll just kind

of use whatever yeah other people happen to use but some people are very set in their ways they're like i i only use this. We have different layers of chat apps, essentially. Like for the same person. What layer am I in? No, but like for each person. Am I in the highest tier layer? Depends on how you define each layer. like there's like a cop-out answer like i generally don't send people uh like i i'll try to keep slack messages mostly focused on work

yeah if i want to send you a message about some game thing i'll probably send you a message over discord yeah if i'm trying to send linus a message about some game thing, I'll probably send you a message over Discord. If I'm trying to send Linus a message about work, honestly, we chat about most things on Teams, but sometimes I'll try to keep the more off-topic things on Discord. I'll keep the more work-focused things on Teams. I'll like certain things will go to email if it's something that I think should be like searchable.

Like there's a bunch of different reasons why something is going to go through a certain method or not. Yeah, that's fair. So I just use everything and try to just gauge like which one makes most sense at whatever time. And I'm kind of the same way, like without really thinking about it, hearing you talk about that, it's totally the same.

So whenever I'm talking about something personal and or confidential, WhatsApp has actually been my tool of choice. So Yvonne and I almost exclusively talk through WhatsApp about something personal and or confidential, WhatsApp has actually been my tool of choice. So Yvonne and I almost exclusively talk through WhatsApp about anything that is like HR related or personal and private. Personal or private, whether it's work or personal. If it's private, it kind of goes in WhatsApp because as much as it annoys me, a feature of WhatsApp, for better or for worse, is that it's only logged in on one device at a time. So there's no risk of me accidentally leaving my laptop around or a secondary phone that I have signed in and somebody

seeing a highly confidential upper management message because it'll only be on the phone that's in my pocket. So that's a reason for that. And then I just have some legacy people that we've just kind of always used Hangouts. So I still chat on Hangouts there. With you, yep, it tends to be Discord and Teams or realistically, because you never check your messages anyway. I'll just call you

if I actually need to communicate with you. So there's that, especially outside of hours. Yeah. Yeah, like I still talk to james through hangouts i yeah i usually use hangouts or teams with the vaude like it's i kind of but i don't even really have to think about or remember these things it's just like oh i have to message this person i just kind of automatically go to whatever thing I'm used to using with that person. We need like, we need a new... A new pigeon?

A Trillion. Yeah. All right, all right, all right. This is an older code, sir. But it checks out. What was Trillion? It was ICQ, AIM, and... I forget what the third one was.

It was called Trillion because there were three messaging. And MSN. I think it also did MSN. I just want, if the day that Microsoft launches MSN Messenger, I will go to it immediately just to be back on MSN. Just to hear those notification sounds again, man. I love it. I love it.

It's one thing. It's something that I've never really understood. Like how people as a whole migrate from one platform to another and why they bother. Like why it was super trendy to be on AIM and then super trendy to be on ICQ and then super trendy to be on aim and then super trendy to be on icq and then super trendy to be on msn and is it just as simple as as soon as the parent generation joins it it's not

cool anymore and you have to get off like why did it ever matter that might be part of the reason why facebook's sort of falling a little bit well it's totally part of the reason why facebook is falling in popularity with like with zoomers but it's like it's not like some of these applications haven't had things like like shadow do not disturb and things like that. It's not like you can just pretend to your parents that you're not online. It was always a thing like MSN had that you could appear offline to people. And, you know, when you caught a friend doing it, it was so scandalous, of course. And, you know, when you caught a friend doing it, it was so scandalous, of course. Were you able to show offline to individuals or was it one big flag?

I believe you could appear offline to individuals, MSN Messenger. I believe you did. How to have MSN Messenger show as appear offline upon boot up. Yeah, that was a really inconvenient thing. There was a while where I remember this. There was a while where it was kind of bugged so that if you signed in as a peer offline, it would show you online for a second and then immediately offline. And people would be like, um, I know you're there.

Man, I remember you mentioned scandalous uh i remember one of my friends used to uh when someone wouldn't tell them a secret they'd be like oh just tell me in like windings or whatever wingdings and then he would bring them into word and convert the font that was actually hilarious oh no that's right it worked for whatever reason so you could appear offline in msn messenger but you could still initiate chats so you could totally chat as you are as you are offline um how to appear offline does anybody have any idea like that i'm looking for how to appear okay apparently there was like tools that you could use to appear offline to just one person but for my part i think a lot of the time I was just in appear offline and then I would just chat with people I actually wanted to chat with. Right. You know what we should probably do?

Speaking of chatting is chat with you guys about our sponsors. Oh, wait. So hold on. There's one more thing we got to go through here. So ranking message services security. Signal encrypts end to end, does not back up your messages to iCloud or its own servers. This is the most secure option and also the option that's most likely to lead to data loss or getting locked out of your own account. So that's a trade-off. WhatsApp still

does encrypt your messages end-to-end with the same protocol as Signal and does not back up your messages to its own servers. By default, it does not back up messages to iCloud either, but that is an option. I've also found that its backup is extremely spotty. The only way to get it to work is to specifically back it up, then log out, then log in on the other one. If you kind of screw up that order, then you can be missing a bunch of stuff, which is interesting. If you enable the option, your messages can be accessed by Apple,

who has the keys for iCloud, and by extension, it can be accessed by law enforcement without a warrant. Number three is a tie between Telegram and Facebook Messenger. So they do not end to end encrypt. I actually didn't know that Telegram does not end to end encrypt by default. They are stored on Telegram servers where they are secured by Telegram's keys, but they can also be seen by law enforcement. So yeah, it looks like Signal's basically just the way to go. And then there's iMessage, blah, blah, blah, messages accessed by Apple, et cetera, through iCloud, unless you turn that off, blah, blah, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. So yeah, Signal is the way to go if you actually want to be private. Honestly, I'm lazy and everyone I want to talk to is already kind of on WhatsApp. So I'm just probably going to stick with it for

now unless things get really bad. By the way, there's a super chat here that I definitely want to respond to. Irritatingness says, hey Linus, take my missing pin 5950X and try to make another repair video. Otherwise, I'll have to find another way to get rid of it. Hate having it just sit. I'm super down because like those things are impossible to get and we actually could use them for other projects and we can't buy them or get them from AMD at this point. So I'm super down. Just message the business email that's linked on the YouTube page and someone somewhere will read your message at some point. Oh, snap.

Just got a message from Jake. Got one ingest station running 25 gigabit. Had to do some like wacko configs to change the type of port on the 100 gigabit switch to a 40 gig port to get the two switches to talk. Oh, okay. That's interesting. Works now.

That is sick. So we are going 25 gigabit fiber for all of our ingest stations and all of our editing stations as of this coming week. I think we're going to roll it out. So both Jake and I are like pretty jazzed right now on how sick that's going to be. That's awesome. It's going to be just like, I mean, think about 25 gigabit. That's two and a half gigabytes per second. I mean, it was not that long ago that the fastest internal drive that you could install in your computer

was like uh 250 300 megabytes a second like that was sata 2 that wasn't that freaking long it was like 10 years ago now we're talking two and a half gigabytes per second over the network had to go fiber though man you haven't been in the office in forever you're not even going to recognize it we did 17 fiber runs down in the editing den so we could have up to 17 editors down there once covid's not a thing and we can kind of pack them in a bit more i i am i am. I am excited for all that to be done. That's pretty insane. All right.

Sponsors for the show today. The show is brought to you by Backblaze. Backblaze is an unlimited cloud backup for Macs and PCs for just $6 a month. They've restored over 35 billion files for their clients, and they can back up anything. You know, docs, music, photos, videos, drawings, projects, all the data and restore them from anywhere. You can download them directly on your computer. You can access them on your mobile phone. You can even purchase a restore via hard drive

if your internet's not too fast, and they will overnight FedEx it to you. You copy it to something else, you ship it back to them, you get a refund for the drive. Absolutely a sick. There's no wonky cost structures, just unlimited data backup at a fixed price. So check it out at backblaze.com slash when and this is an example of a sponsor that we do actually use. I mean, not Linus Media Group directly, but Flowplane uses Backblaze or am I not supposed to say that? It's probably fine, right?

Am I not supposed to say that? It's probably fine, right? I don't know. This is why Luke tries not to tell me too much about the infra. Because I tend to like... There shouldn't be any concerns for people talking about that, right? I'm genuinely not 100% certain if we currently do. Oh, okay. I know we did at one point.

Yeah. Okay. Oh, my mic's a little hot. I just noticed that. All right. The show is also brought to you by Privacy. Privacy is a tool that makes it super easy to manage your financial life online while keeping all of your most important information secure. By generating virtual numbers when you're making purchases, Privacy masks your real banking information so you never have to worry about giving it out to people you don't know online. You can set up a spending limit to what you should be paying with

that service per month so you can catch any sneaky upcharges or rate adjustments and you can easily and safely send a friend, family member or co-worker a privacy card straight from your dashboard in just a few clicks. So head to privacy.com slash Linus and sign up to get five dollars to spend on your first purchase. Privacy is an example of one of our sponsors that I know has a great service, even though I can't use, but I would love to use, but it's not available in Canada yet.

So as soon as it's available in Canada, I'm going to be super into it. Yes, me too. And finally, the show is brought to you by PIA. This is one I've been using for years one that i've been absolutely pleased with and doesn't do some of the stuff that some people who take vpn sponsorship say it does it's not magic it's just part of your overall private browsing toolkit to help websites and applications and tools that you use believe

that you are some anonymous person from some other country. It masks your IP and encrypts traffic to and from your device. It's not magic. That's what it does. So they've got configurable encryption and internet kill switch to keep you in control of your connection. So nothing will accidentally leak out if the VPN becomes disconnected for whatever reason. And they have over 24,000 servers in 77 countries. You can turn it on manually or you can set your client so it's enabled automatically and you can try it out risk-free with their 30-day money-back guarantee, which is down below. Also down below is an interview I did with them on their YouTube channel talking all about privacy. Okay, cool. So yeah, apparently we've got that linked as well.

All right. What else do we want to talk about today? Got some other good stuff in here. Ah, yes. Intel replaces Bob Swan, the Bobinator, the Swanee Swan, with legendary former engineer Pat Gelsinger. This was posted by Anthony in the chat. Luke, do you want to give us the lowdown?

Yeah, well, I don't know if you can pin it all on him but uh ever since mr bob took over things have not exactly been going well uh in the department in fairness i mean he was only ceo for like a year and like or a year and a half or something like that i can't remember the exact period but like not a it's kind of like when uh when it was going in yeah yeah it's kind of like when a new gm takes over a hockey team you can't blame them for anything that happens in the first couple years really yeah but go on go on and he was kind of thrown into that position if i remember correctly because uh he was like acting ceo after the last one just like vanished um so like i don't even think it was necessarily intended and it just seemed like they they were going to replace him for like six or seven months and then they just didn't and he became the ceo so like and he wasn't really there for a super long time

and a lot of these things that they're working on are going to be set in motion way in the past. So, like I said, I don't know how much you can actually blame it on him. But things were not great during his reign. And one of the constant criticisms from way back up until current has been that Intel should probably be led by an engineer, not a business person. And Bob Swan's background is business, not engineering. And Pat Gelsinger, his background is definitely engineering. So this isn't necessarily a dig at Bob, but I think people are excited about Pat regardless.

Can I just say how much I love this note here? So Pat previously served as VMware CEO and Intel CEO before that. CTO, excuse me. Has a background in electronics engineering. And when was first recruited out of high school by Intel in 1979, the recruiter's note said, allegedly, smart, arrogant, arrogant aggressive he'll fit right in that's pretty good remember remember when intel was smart and aggressive still arrogant but remember when they also had the smarts and the aggressiveness to back it up i would love to see a return to that like here we go here we freaking go just to clarify as well um he he's he's not necessarily a jerk uh he does donate 50 of his gross income to charities helping impoverished children go to

school that's pretty cool that's um so he may be aggressive maybe competitively or something like that but he seems to be a at least decently nice guy. And some major accomplishments during his 30 years at Intel. Worked on Intel's 286 and 386. Those were pretty popular products, if I recall correctly. Was the lead architect of the 486 at the tender age of 25 years old. Ran the division that produced the Pentium Pro and launched the Intel Developer Forum. Oh, really?

Oh, that's pretty cool. So the changeover is scheduled to take place on February 15th. And all I have to say about this is fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight. Like, I'm excited. And like we just said about Bob, though, it is likely going to take a while for this to actually have any major noticeable impact. I mean, it's not like lisa sue took over amd and like the next day they were able to you know she just whipped up a cpu in

her kitchen and pulled it out of the oven jensen style you know what i'm talking about like it's not like it doesn't work like that yeah her oven isn't that expensive i'm sure yeah yeah yeah i mean his oven man have you seen have you seen the spatulas that man has? I mean, if I had spatulas like that, I could make GPUs and CPUs, no problem. Yeah, just melt the spatulas down. Got enough materials. Yeah, it's exciting. Silicone and silicon are not the same thing.

We've been through this, Luke. I'm messing around. I'm messing around. I know you are. I know you are. But yeah, it's exciting i just yeah my one note would be that uh don't hold out for for any news in the like near future i expect anything exciting would be fairly down the line but it's pretty cool regardless yeah i'm

excited something a lot of people have been asking for for a long time and it's actually happening so exactly all right oh oh we're finally gonna talk about this okay we are launching wait hey von do you have the things i'm supposed to sign uh i don't know what that is uh nick gave me a box it's in the box downstairs uh may i have it please okay yvonne going to get it for me. Thank you. Okay. I have no idea how this is supposed to work. I just, well, we don't have a lot of them. So there's a whole thing, right?

Okay. There it is. Never mind. Okay. I got it. I've got it. Oh, my God. The limited edition pink lambo beanie is for sale now this is a very expensive beanie or toque and i'm gonna be completely honest with you guys it is exactly

the same toque as the one i'm wearing okay i'm look look look I'm being honest. OK, like I said, with the toe cutter offer device, as long as wait, what? People crawled the site and looked in all products and there's only like 20 left. OK, so move fast if you want one, guys. It's exactly the same product. It is as advertised, though. I'm being honest with you guys. And so in order to differentiate it Oh, Nick says it's a slightly different. It's slightly different

It's a hundred percent acrylic fabric instead of an acrylic wool blend, but if honest it feels the same It feels like the same damn thing. So here they are With your beanie that you paid way too much money for because the regular one's like 20 bucks or something, you will get this Linus Tech Tips Lambo Beanie Certificate of Authenticity numbered 1 to 69. So it says this is one of 69 Lambo beanies. Nice. And then I believe you will also get a Lambo foil sticker. Huh? Huh? Lambo foil sticker?

Apparently they're gone. So there you go. Thanks for playing, guys. So maybe we'll do an after-party stream tonight. Would that be okay, Vaughn? I don't know. Maybe we'll do an after-party stream tonight. I will sign them.

I will sign all 69 of them in front of you guys, so you'll know that it's legit. And also that we didn't do more than 69 of them, because that would be... Man, what a scam that would be. If I was like, yeah, we're only doing 69 of them. And actually, we do like 1,000, and there's duplicates.

Wait. You could do 69,000. We only made like... 6,969 only made like i think we made 969 sorry i think we made like 70 so that if like one of them gets lost in the mail or something like that we have yeah it makes sense yeah so so they're all gone it looks cool i actually like the like watermelon type of like it actually looks pretty all right i legitimately like it on people like it it looks good yep so we actually went to the trouble of doing a whole photo shoot for a product that we're gonna sell less than a hundred of but whatever actually we have another

limited edition product so these are these are just kind of honestly they're not big money makers but they're they're kind of fun to do there a video coming out. People who are on floatplane are going to know about this already, but there's a video coming out where we do Dennis's. People in chat are like paper launch. I told you guys, I was honest with you guys. We only did a few of them. Okay. So this one, we're only doing a hundred of these and floatplane people are gonna get it already but it's a shirt okay that's pretty cool yeah live laugh meow did you watch the did you watch the video that's great yeah so dennis spoiler alert dennis as part of his intel home setup extreme rig upgrade

whatever we call it as part of his video he spent like 400 of his budget on a faux neon sign to go behind his setup that says live laugh leo and i was like what how did you how did you spend this much money on this so anyway people started immediately demanding a shirt so we've got 100 units. We'll have 100 units. It's going to go live when the video goes up. So I think that's tomorrow, Sunday or something. Every limited edition product should be $69.69. I mean, we could.

Until there's one that costs us more than that to make. Then it could be $690. Yeah, we could do that. We could do that. I could make a lot of things i could make a lot of things fit in that price point 690 anyway all right sorry so that's that's all the that's all the memeing for ltt store oh also the great crew next set of sweaters are finally back in stock these ones also sold out basically immediately. And we grossly underestimated how many of them we were going to sell. It's got the zippered. See, you've got these like stealthy zippered pockets. It's super comfy. Lots of different sizes. That's kind of an uncomfortable

looking picture. You know what? Let's not look at that for too long. All right. Sorry. Now, for real, I'm done. Google purchases Fitbit. This was posted by LexusGamer05 on the forum. After a year of EU regulators scrutinizing the deal, Google has completed its acquisition of Fitbit for $2.1 billion. Google hardware chief says the acquisition is about devices not data interestingly the u.s department of justice has not approved the deal but i don't think the u.s government is doing a whole lot of much of anything right now while they wait for the transition so yeah yeah google says the waiting period for their investigation expired that's pretty funny um the

doj though says that google is still under investigation for antitrust regarding the deal. So we'll see if they can kind of resolve that between the two of them. This is why I was saying in the intro, like, yeah, they bought Fitbit, sort of. It's like, yes, they did, but we'll see what ends up being reality. The approval from the EU did come with some conditions, including that Google cannot use Fitbit data such as health, wellness, or GPS for targeting ads. It's like, hey, Google, yes, you can have it, but only if you, like, don't use it. Users must also be able to opt out of sharing Fitbit data with other Google apps and services. So this sounds, I don't know, what do you think?

Is Android Wear going to stop being terrible? Honestly, I don't know. What do you think? Is Android Wear going to stop being terrible? Honestly, I don't really think so. Is Fitbit's experience better than Apple Watch? I will be honest with you. I have never

been inclined in any way to use a Fitbit. So there you go. Maybe I should give it a crack. Maybe I should give it a shot. Oh, I think Nick is watching right now. Yo, Nick, uh, we've got people asking about Swacket. They're like, Hey, are you guys ever going to do another run of that? Like sweet, like racing jacket thing. We are working on v2 i do have some concept artwork if nick approves it i would be happy to share some of it with you but it's possible he will not allow me to show it to you because he likes to keep things all secret he's a control freak like that control freak samsung announces with that samsung announces upcycling

Well working with me you know Things probably feel very chaotic You gotta You feel like you gotta control something Yeah That too yeah It's like you work with an actual tornado He's sending me so many messages right now

I gotta mute teams on my computer here Um He says Do whatever you want I don't have it though i don't have it i can't find it in my email so you gotta you gotta you gotta send me whatever i can show nick all right samsung announces upcycling at home to repurpose old devices so this was during their ces 2021 event on monday this was posted by random hk kid on the forums they announced a number of new devices and new ways to use old ones. So older phones that may be still perfectly usable but are no longer

supported or useful as a smartphone can be repurposed as things like baby monitors, ambient light sensors, that's an overkill ambient light sensor, long distance smart home control. That is a really good idea. What I would, what I hope that they are doing with their SmartThings ecosystem, so it's like an if-this-then-that style interface apparently, what I hope they're doing is they are helping avoid the devices becoming damaged by this kind of a use case. I remember we were using old phones as like two-factor authenticator devices and having them plugged in all the time basically meant we were cycling through batteries like what every six months, hun?

When we had like an old phone as the two-factor. Like how often were the batteries dying in them? It was like on a it was over a span of months not years So if you were gonna use something like this as a baby monitor the last thing you want is to have it plugged in all the time and then have that turn into a bulging battery and you've got like a fire hazard in your nursery. So I hope they've given that some thought. And YouTube comments were quick to point out

that just giving them longer official software support would also reduce waste if the thing just like worked. Remember too, though, that Samsung is not the only... just like worked. Remember too, though, that Samsung is not the only, they're not the only player when it comes to ensuring that there is driver support for the hardware. They are a key player, but they are not the only one to make sure that they continue to roll software updates. Also, Razer debuts Project Hazel. I'm'm gonna bring this up on screen luke you wanna you want to talk through this thing which one is this is this that yeah so this is their mask um i i don't know for this one genuinely but i will say razor does have a bit of a track record of

announcing things at ces that definitely never see the light of day. I could see this seeing the light of day, but yeah. It's a smart mask. It has these like RGB active filters on the side. Yeah, it says the mask concept is not for sale, but claims to have patent pending voice amplification technology. Kind of neat. The mask transparent design allows people to see the wearer's face, which is a maybe good and bad thing depending on

what your opinion on that is. I found it a lot easier to yawn during meetings lately. The lights inside the mask activate automatically in the dark. The Razer Chroma RGB is also making an appearance on the two lighting zones on the active filters, like I mentioned earlier. There's a wireless charging box that sanitizes the mask with UV light, which I believe would actually theoretically work from my understanding. And as an aside, earlier in the coronavirus pandemic, Razer converted manufacturing facilities in China to make face masks, which is pretty neat. To date, they have distributed over a million masks globally. Very cool.

Good for them. Thanks, Razer. I have actually been quite surprised that there hasn't been more substantial efforts to make fashion masks, to honest i mean didn't like one of the really really high fashion brands do it i think a few of the like gucci's of the world have made them yeah i didn't like the baton do one or something like that it was like a thousand dollars or something probably but like i just i i mean from from like more reasonable companies uh but i think that's probably because most of the goal of the mask manufacturers have just been volume, not style.

So, yeah, I don't know. It's interesting. It looks cool. I don't think I'd necessarily want one, but it definitely has the cool factor going on. I would guess it's going to be like $250 US, though. Just looking at it and knowing Razer, i don't think it'll be cheap nice that it self-sanitizes yeah i wonder how they avoid it from fogging up like immediately i know there's different methods that they can do

and those um active ventilators probably help with that but still like wow yeah it looks cool though every every shot that they have with someone wearing it it like looks pretty cool it kind of does speaking of things that look cool when people wear them haha thanks for keying me up like that so this is an early mock-up of swacket v2 um yeah it's not really in focus, but whatever. You guys get the point. You're kind of looking at my lights here. We might end up with a little bit more in terms of color accents, but it is going to be stealthier. It is still going to be made out of a heavier material.

Instead of the regular reflective tape, it's probably going to have a dark or black, but reflective tape. We've got some really, really cool stuff coming up and that's, that's one of them. Um, yeah, excite, very excite. All right. I think that's pretty much it for topics for today. So there are a couple of super chats that I did want to read. Um, in spite of like me thinking it doesn't make sense to do super chats uh buddy scotch asks uh will you please do an lgr collab after the pandemic i don't see why not i'd love to uh we'd love to we'd love to bring lgr up for uh ltx the next time we like can actually do it so

if nothing else we should we should meet there um ritz blitz says, Linus tumbling tips when, as a semi-athletic person who manages to publicly humiliate themselves regularly. Thanks for the laughs. With you, not at you. Thanks for that. Sadrick says, after Raid Shadow Legends, I would bet this stream is sponsored by an online casino. JK just bought a water bottle on LTT store.

Hey, thanks, Sadrick. Twolf says, we love you, Linus and luke y'all good in my book uh yeah raid over aggressive advertising blows but it is what it is meh people just gonna hate uh no i don't think it's just hate i mean i i want to understand people's i want to understand people's upset you know um the gaming sir says as one of the people who complained about the sponsor please accept this compensation 20 us dollars so that i hope to never see rage shadow legends ever again also no facebook or oculus ever again okay thanks okay it's not quite that simple um what do you mean duly duly noted your request has been logged. Andrew Trumbauer

says, with TechLink doing five videos a week, what would you say is the limiting factor for having TechLink being five videos every week? The limiting factor is tech news. That's honestly it. Like back when they used to do NetLink daily, because they used to, they found that a lot of the time it was, they were scraping the bottom of the time it was they were scraping the bottom of the barrel in order to force themselves to do it every day. And if you just do it kind of when there's enough tech news, it's easy to get lazy because it's so much work to figure out if there's enough tech news that by the time you've done it, it's like, OK, well, I might as well make a video about it. Or if you like have a gut feeling there's not enough tech news today, you might as well just not do all that pre-work. So it's like, no, you have to commit to

a production schedule. And so three times a week has ended up being about right. We very rarely feel like we're, we're forcing it, you know? Um, sir, really Sam says, I remember having to persuade people to buy enough of the Highlander t-shirts on the forum seven years ago so we could get enough people to make it worth printing. Now things sell instantly on stream. Yeah, it's a little different. It's a little different. And JD McChog says, hey, Linus, anyone ever told you your name is the wrong way around? It should be Sebastian Linus. Okay, but it's not. Well, no, because Linus is also a first name. They're just both first names. So I don't know. Long story.

Imagine telling someone their name's wrong. Yeah, yeah. Like your name, Lucas. It's wrong for someone to just be named Luke. Luke is short for Lucas. You heard me. Yeah, well, it should also be L-U-C. Because my last name's French and I have an English first name.

Luc Lafreniere. Who knows? That was more Italian, I guess. All right. Thanks for watching, guys. I'm happy it's not this week. We will see you again next week. Same bad time, same bad channel.

Bye. Update Dell. Dell update. I don't have one for you. I haven't heard back. Okay, bye. Okay. Bye Bye Oh, hold on wait, wait, wait, we got an important super chat. Happy birthday cooper. See you later psychic hog says omg it's not your fault but braces trigger me i can feel that teeth being repositioned pain that's not that bad i like what hey von what do i have for dinner the night after

i got my braces i don't remember't remember. I was eating though. Are they only on your lower teeth? Yeah, just bottom. My top's fine. It's pretty straight. When you talk, you don't see them. Alright, I'm ending the stream.
