Exactly - that is the biggest 'W' for me - this gives the Parliament TEETH of sufficient punishment to enforce their laws on giant, money-filled corporations. You can make ALL the laws you like, but if you don't have any way to ENFORCE those laws, it's just hot air and hope. THIS means business.
@@empath69 It also means lots of jobs for law-enforcers... who don't mind going up against whatever "security personnel" the giant companies to field against them... while being paid only a smidgin' above national minimum wage. =:o\ The proposed EU law is good. Making it *work* will take serious financial and organisational commitment within the EU. I *really* hope the law-enforcement bosses and middle-managers are at least half as up to speed on how the real world works, as the legislators who've proposed this.
@@therealpbristow Public sector employees in Europe are paid according to civil servant salary brackets, which depending on rank are far above the local minimum wage.
The way thispersondoesnotexist works, is that they are constantly generating new images every two seconds (?), no matter how many people are visiting their site. So you are NOT actually prompting a generation when you visit. You are just pulling a copy of the most recent generation. Which will change if you wait more than 2 seconds (?) and refresh the page. So it makes perfect sense that you'd both get the same image when you visit at the same time. It is NOT "overload protection". It's just the way the site works. Everyone gets the same image if they visit during the same 2 second window. Note, I'm not sure if it is 2 seconds or 5 seconds, or what the exact time window is. But it is small.
Regarding now preorders, I totally agree with Linus' position, but the Steam Deck approach is one option. Let people pay a nominal $5 charge to lock in commitment. If you don't end up ordering backpack it converts to LTTStore credit. That way, you have a better idea of actual purchase intent, but aren't screwing people if things don't work out.
You are suggesting the same thing that he said he doesn't want to do. I have an idea. Linus makes a video and says backpacks are ready to purchase. Let's say I'm a customer. I simply go and purchase the product, but there is a problem! When I try to process the payment, it redirects me to a thank you page and explains that this is a fake payment process and the product isn't actually available yet! It also shows the user a checkbox or something to signup to get a notification when the product was available! As this sounds fun, it actually needs to be executed very well so no one gets confused/angry or whatever... They probably won't do something like this.
@@babakfp I got annoyed just reading that idea and playing it out in my head. So I'm going to say it sounds like a horrible idea since it's literally a bait and switch (though granted, not as extreme as it could be.)
One of my genuinely favorite things about LTT and the WAN show is I feel like I’m getting a truly meaningful business master class. It’s awesome to learn about all of this
34:40 Luke: "A 16-year-old ... who had over 300 BTC ... [continues talking]" - Linus: quietly picks up his phone to look up what 300 BTC is in USD… and makes a literal 0_0 face. Hilarious reaction.

Thanks Linus for mentioning the farmers! We had to replace a very simple hydraulic valve on one of our tractors and it literally wouldn't work until the dealer came out and allowed it to work with their proprietary repair software.
Just to put this in perspective, most of the east coast of the USA's chicken comes from the eastern shore of Maryland and Delaware. Purdue has massive farms in those areas, John Deere has a massive incentive to keep farmers out of the software by lining the pockets of MD's legislature.
@@tack3411 that I also agree. A "legitimate drug-dealing" company responsible for destroying (also deaths of) lives of milions, and nothing major happens to anybody. But you can go prison for virtually anything
Companies having access to the data they created example: Doctors office (a company) uses software system A and they decide they want to switch to software system B. This law would require A to provide the data to the doctor's office so they can move to B.
I don't know where you live, but in the EU that's already the case. I don't think at this point A would need you to provide with easily integratable data, but you own your data and can move it from A to B whenever you want.
@@roadrunner6224 this is currently a grey area under EU GDPR. It requires that EU CITIZENS have access to their data in a portable readable format. BUT it does not explicitly require they put any effort into portability to support a BUSINESS in migrating their data OUT of Software A's system to Software B. SO the real world result is that a *HORRIBLE* JSON or XML file will come out from software A which is supposedly 'portable' but requires software B to write a custom parser to ingest that file. Then all software A has to do is slightly modify the export file format to cripple the import function created by software B. This proposed change to law is a VERY good thing for consumers as it will give companies more freedom to choose/change software suppliers. Source: direct personal professional experience.

The fact Linus doesn't want to make pre orders as a ethical stand makes me happy to support him. It's rare to see someone stand their ground morally when regarding money. Everyone is a saint until money is involved... and the fact he doesn't want to compromise his morals shows the type of person he is. PS: I'm not even against pre-ordering. I don't think it's immoral for Linus to make a pre-order... but Linus does and have expressed this several times... and it's nice to see he's not bending his morals for money.
@@michaelcorcoran8768 Yeah... that was weird. But I think that comes from the fact Unions are to protect employees against employers. And he would see as a failure if a employee of his thought they need protection from him. I don't agree with him... but I can see where his coming from.

Glad the "dumb redneck" stereotype is dwindling. I've always been as deep into tech as I am into my blue collar endeavors. Can't tell you how many times I've used car engine parts as analogies to explain what's wrong with a computer to my dad lol. Tech bros 🤝 farmers.
It's nice for us "country folk" to get some love. I use plumbing to describe how internet bandwidth works to people confused about the difference between fiber and dsl.
I watch MillenialFarmer on YT and some of the tech in the tractors and implements even makes my head spin at times. And I am not illiterate when it comes to tech and electronics. Its amazing to see the brute force of an engine being assisted by 147 sensors to work better!
@@AK90 what really blows my mind is how those machines not so long ago ran completely mechanically with no computers to assist. The engineering even 100 years ago was truly insane.
Friend is a farmer, one of his morning tasks was to go out see if the gates were closes and water in troughs and stuff like. Takes nearly and hour to do. He made a drone that he just launchs and goes out and start to work. It flys over and takes photos of every gate and trough then lands and uploads the photos to his phone. He them looks through and if something isn't right just goes and sort it out

I work in IT distribution, and I'm finding this LTT store supply chain stuff so damn interesting. There's a reason why Ingram Micro posts 50 billion dollars a year, yet most people have never heard of them.

I love Luke's reaction about the Hacker group, he's looking at this from a developer's pont of perspective. These hackers come out of nowhere with really high target data breachers where an insane amount of security researchers work to prevent this from happening. This is impressive because it's supposed to be impossible for one group to go this hard and drop them like it's nothing.
Ehh from a cyber security point of view, black hat hackers have unlimmited time and energy White hats have finite time and energy, budget constraints, dependency from other orgs, and need to prioritize the threats to the business. Security resesrchers at those business are never attempting to have completly secure systems, but good enougn and having plans for whenever a system is compromised. The other trick is making it as painful as you can for attackers, as the only saving grace of attackers is that they normally bore easily. Since theyre now highly motivated, and got a decent team, soc teams have now got their hands full.
Also, its a pack of kids - this is almost literally a 1985 movie plot, this sort of thing just isnt supposed to be possible anymore. Its not like you just download a war dialler and code yourself a brute forcer easier than you would a D&D random character generator. Also - lulwut is that opsec??????
Thus adding to the awareness I've been nurturing for a few years now, one that internet security might not actually really exist lol... and... that's for the part of it that, you you know, is actually trying... Let's... I mean, never mind the ones not even bothering about it. Now that is assuming that the people that would would be presumed to bother, or are supposed to bother.. are actually bothering. You know, like facebook, or highly integrated financial institutions, or credit card companies, or local government... Now to be fair, kind of a gray area when it comes to infrastructure.. they should be... but technically speaking, I mean... it's not something that traditionally is talked about having Internet security, especially considering that it existed prior in a near identical manner long before, and even during internet, with little to do regarding... except now it does in every way lol! So technically, little bit of column retard, with you know, giant monolith of greed... that's more of an excuse than Equifax had... Or Facebook LOL.. or fucking Nord, that internet privacy service provider that...uh... seem to put very little effort into privacy or security, rather than.. advertising? If only they hadn't had all those logs of its customers, that paid for security and privacy... Well shit, I mean they've obviously learned their lesson.. so it's probably even more of a good idea to trust them with your passwords! I mean, they say it's encrypted! And the VPN only gets shilled on channels that are desperate or wouldn't know any better. So providing they're not glorified used car salesman of the social media and influencer dystopic dimension with a well documented history of maximum sales and minimum product, {in this case not even viable LOL...). Then there's traditional good old business sense, the Milton Friedman reality of capitalism that fucks with my Ayn Randian fantasy, you know the kind that.. was totally supposed to replace parts on the dc-10s, or have proper inspections.. or maintenance.. and you know it's like, I mean.. back in the 70s getting sucked out of an airplane window with your seat belt on while people were holding on to you, like that wasn't uncommon.. it just didn't happen every day exactly, but not... Like there used to be a huge business in selling single trip life insurance at airports for about two bucks... And you know, eventually after that particular company had practically set an airport on fire.. they were... Fined a small amount of money... Like we're talking into the thousands of lives at this point that was entirely preventable, but actively not prevented on account that it was just thousands, and the fine I can't remember if it was in the low millions or hundreds of thousands but pretty significantly small by comparison to.. sucked out of a fucking plane window, and then there's all the others that died through various reasons, almost all of which involved policies that had taken these risks and had borne witness to these things on on the entire lifespan of that plane, and this was not uncommon it wasn't the only plan that had issues.. it just happened to be the one that got a reputation for it... What the fuck does that have to do with Internet security, well.. I don't even think they did a apology montage...? Like eventually they had to do something, it was more of a oh shit well that was a tragedy, if only there was something we could have done or if it was in any way our fault.. and then you know, tiny check and a decommission of the airplane... And this kind of behavior, it's kind of in style right now LOL.. like there's a lot of regulations that came about because of things like this, and it's 40 years later we have fixed so many of them! Just like Nord fixed their reputation, the power of ideological misdirection is stronger than it has ever been since the fucking Catholic Church was dominating the Western business world. so obviously forget about the internet of things ever being short up or secured in any way, like anything that's not an actual thing that would be directly involved in some sort of technology or national security is definitely not getting addressed in any way whatsoever, unless they have to scapegoat around it, which is more than likely what's going to go down a bit in the future given that iot is how all the other things have vulnerabilities in a lot of cases that should be secured. As far as the government goes, I mean I think they're trying they seem like they're trying.. they obviously didn't think through the whole making the first move thing in 09 that pretty much signaled game on to everybody.. certainly not that part where we didn't take credit for it but in instead we we decided to to take credit for it LOL.. cuz... So anyhow, now as to whether or not those things are actually secure, well let's face it these companies have had a very important interest in maintaining the appearance that things are secure like your credit card, or your government, or you're super government or whatever.. like it's kind of a business that largely functions on the perception of its value, and perhaps strategically some of that was deterrent.. but you know... That shits like that shit sailed, beached.. was broken down into a fucking Tom Hanks cabin, then broken into another raft and sailed again... So as like I don't know enough to know the particulars, but everybody that I talk to or listen to that does does not have great things to say with regards to the actual state or viability of security, the things that I do know, make it seem like it's just fucking you know.. you're locking the front door, while leaving the man size dog door open, with a button that's on the gate.. and apparently it, like it writes down when you're out of dog food and orders it automatically.. and probably could play Doom... And is also hooked into your smart home... Which is run by a company that very very very very very much sells its products under the guys or reputation of being quite secure, despite having your dog door that's man-sized with LEDs hooked up to it... So yeah, good fucking luck everybody, sorry I swear so much I really was trying.. also two-factor authentication is how you get SIM swapped by retards.. yes there are ways and then there are ways but just throwing two-factor authentication out there is actually kind of irresponsible, like you actually need to go into it, another thing that is not commonly talked about because there is no technical solution for it, hence why most people haven't even heard of it. So as long as you're poor you should be fine, like it's usually a one stop shop situation... But you know, if you got something to lose you you might lose most of it, and just enjoy the satisfaction that when they do go to jail, cuz almost all of them do.. they'll have all their money left thanks to bitcoin when they get out, it's a feature apparently of this whole thing... Anyhow hopefully I made my point in the top half of this... I wouldn't want to undermine it in a maliciously disrespectful and tone deaf disregard for those who take genuine offense to the notion that something was far too long for them to want to read, and thus on the holy crusade to combat such malicious behavior, as all things are written to them, and expected of them to be read.. and in that, how fucking dare you! My apologies in advance! Offense wasn't meant, I just have lost a lot of the new speak I grew up with.. it's cuz I'm bad at math.

RE: Feature that Developers don't have "Fair Access" to. Android Auto has been completely locked off for most developers. Music players are only open to companies like Amazon Music or Spotify. Google Maps is really the only navigation option.
I can see a reason behind android auto/CarPlay being locked off, though. You don't want every possible app in the car. This would lead to video player type of apps, games, etc. Which would be illegal in many regions. This doesn't justify locking out alternative map options, of course. They should just check for legality when approving them, not for competing apps
@@Daku93 They could very easily provide an API that alternative music apps can use to provide Android Auto functionality, with the UI being entirely handled by Android Auto and the audio management and playback handled by the app in question.
When it comes to right to repair, interoperability, etc. How can you be against this? This isn't saying you can't do something. This isn't saying you can no longer go to a licencesed repair shop and have them to repair it. This is saying you have the right to use your products that you purchased how you want. Do you want to use IMessage? Go ahead, this isn't stopping you. This is just allowing those that don't to be able to have atleast a bare level of interoperability to they aren't forced by a multiple billion dollar to trillion dollar corporations to follow their will.
Try to separate the 'right of private ownership' and 'entitlement granted by the government' part from the movement. Just like civil rights movement that 'changed the specification of gender and race quota instead of removing it all', never ever orient a law from the 'centrist' view that wants 'the greater good'.
I'm not saying I'm "against" anything. But if you devote 20 hrs a day, for years and years to create something, and the mob tells you people not only are entitled to use your creation, but they are demanding you change how YOU want your creation to be. Instead of people just not using/purchasing your product.

Interoperability between instant messengers actually worries me slightly. If it's done correctly, it'll be great, but apps like Signal employ good encryption standards and I'm willing to bet Whatsapp doesn't (even though they claim they use the signal protocol, there's no way to verify that). If instant messengers are forced to be interoperable, what are the chances they'll just drop the encryption to make it easier? I absolutely do not want that. Of course Signal doesn't fall in the categorie of businesses that the EU is targeting, but if all other apps are interoperable It'll be even harder to get people to switch over.
Isn't this already solved in Signal by default? When I get an SMS, an open lock icon appears and when I get a message from another Signal user, two checkmarks appear. Wouldn't it just come down to the Signal team, labeling messages from other messaging services correctly and we're fine?
Encryption methods already have many established standards, especially in networking (see HTTPS, SSH, etc.). Companies pretending they couldn't use common algorithms is just another excuse to try to keep people locked in rather than interoperating.

Well, I'm not sure but a lot of iOS apps make use of Safari to display content - I'm pretty sure it uses the core app - so it will be interesting to see what would break if it was removed.

I am so excited to hear about what the EU is doing. I work for a cellular company here in Canada. I've dealt with customers who heard about an awesome new Android phone. They come in excited and I assure them they can leave apple and it will be fine. Customer leaves happy. Then a few days later they come back to exchange their phone for an iPhone because all the group chats they use for work are all with iMessage. That's now become a question I ask customers when they are thinking of switching from apple to android.
That's kinda sad xD. But its also weird that a workplace uses apple i message as an official communication channel. Maybe its because i live in the EU but the most comparable thing would be a semi official whatsapp group for work. But even that can never be the only communication channel because you can't expect everyone to have a smartphone. And if you do you should equip your employees with a work smartphone.
Yessss, it's very annoying that the default camera app can't do manual focus (or zoom in using the front camera), but the third party apps that can do that, aren't allowed to use the full resolution of the camera, manual white balance, the depth sensor or manual exposure (but exposure locking and exposure compensation work??) on my phone
Its up to the developer of the app. If they know what they're doing and their execs want a good product, it will work as intended. There are third party camera apps that can take advantage of the native features but Snapchat on Android takes a screen grab and uninformed apple spoilt brats call android cameras bad

Linus, so you're saying that if the backpacks don't sell like hot cakes, we could see LTT buy out entire storage rental facilities to store the overflow? BTW, I put my name down for a backpack. Have a few expenses around that time, but I think the backpack might be a good investment for my college aged daughter.
I'm going to test this build guide LTT makes by making my GF watch it through completely. Then I'm going to ask her to build me a computer on newegg or PC Partpicker. I can't wait to see what she comes up with because she has zero experience with pcs. I'll only let her watch that video for reference and I won't help her at all. This will be a good test of the claim "Last PC Build Guide You'll Ever Need"
@@GeraintDafis The customer service I’ve gotten from Amazon has been far away the best in the tech industry. When I complained about Newegg’s APO shipping they basically said “this is the way it is”. It cost more to ship a case to my APO address than it does to ship to Anchorage Alaska from Newegg. Amazon ships most items to APO addresses for free since they treat them just like US addresses since they are basically the same with only needing a customs form. I’m not asking for free, but it shouldn’t cost $70 to ship a $100 case.
Fully support the open app store choice, BUT... I really hope that MS/Google/Apple add an option to lock the store or add in cert trust requirements to some degree (that can be disabled for power users) so that when I hand the phone/tablet/computer to family members, they don't immediately fill it with scam app stores and apps that are placed on toxic ads everywhere. I fully support the choice, but damn does there need to be protections in place otherwise this is going to get messy for family members managing devices.
making the pin also protect against app instals that aren't from the app store (or even then) should be the solution there. Like sudo asking for the password
I don't support the open app store choice, though I do support better options for alternative payments, % cuts, etc. (ESPECIALLY stacked with the "more access to phone's capabilities, those two together scare me) Been in IT long enough that it's nice to know that for the most part, an iPhone or whatever mobile device I'm looking at will be reasonably stable and not "junked up" or doing something it shouldn't be. Yes, I KNOW there have been rogue apps on all of the app stores that do stuff they aren't supposed to, but they can easily get blocked by the device manufacturer, and it's been semi rare.
This! I don’t personally want more open and easily accessible attack vectors in my devices, i think about that enough at work, but wouldn’t mind other people wanting the ability to do this.
Just move the intro to the end so the OG long-watchers can still enjoy it. My kids jump up and dance every time they hear the intro... which is often. we love it!
Honestly, I dont give a shit that the how to build a PC video is almost 2h long. I think it’s actually a good thing. If you‘re spending hundreds or thousands of money units on parts, you absolutely want to get it right and know ALL about how to do it correctly. If not, you‘re a spoiled idiot. And in case you‘re not, you ABSOLUTELY want to take that kind of time to do it. When I built my first computer I took a whole day to complete it (all by myself, only youtube as guidance) and I‘m so glad I did, because that knowledge sticks. Like, building your first computer without prior knowledge is a really big deal imo and in having good instructions, you come to see that it really is not that difficult.
I essentially watched ALL of Techquickie videos and dozens of build guides from LTT, J2C, Kyle etc before I built my PC last year. Took about a week to research all the parts on forums, YT reviews etc. And you're absolutely right about that knowledge sticking with you!
NOOOO not the intro! I love listening and watching it myself 😭 Great WAN otherwise, and not only signed up for the backpack, but going to buy! Can't wait!
If you're still against preorders for the backpack, do a "Kickstarter" type option, where people commit to spend the money, but the charge doesn't hit their card until you have the backpack on hand, and they can cancel it up until a certain date.
That's kinda defeating the whole point of kickstarter, that's just kicking with phantom feet, they can't produce the product without actually getting 'kicked' by the customer, basically preorders all over again.
I don't really see what benefit there would be to this unless I'm misunderstanding though, they have added the email alerts feature which already provides them information regarding the amount of interest there is into the product itself, and the only advantage to doing pre-orders that they've mentioned would be so that they have more money now to help things along, if Kickstarter doesn't provide them that money until after they're already shipping the product then it doesn't seem like it makes much sense
Doesn't solve the problem. They need a million dollars to buy the stock they need, they will sell the bags, but they don't have the money to order enough
@@RobFisherUK Yes maybe pre-order is a bad word to Linus but they should maybe do reservations. Where I can commit to buying one and give them my payment information and then as soon as they are available it goes through the reservations first. So at least I can commit to buying one now and not miss out because I have a job, but Linus dosent worry about missing a date because I can just cancel and give up my spot. Granted this doesn't help them with cash flow, but it would help their customers.
At the next LTX expo it would be really cool to have a "product development" stand where you can see the progression of development through the samples of each piece of merch that's released with a few notes that describe the changes and challenges for each product.
I have backpacks from Mystery Ranch, Yeti, and even some crazy waterproof ones. I am very excited for the LTT backpack! And yeah I'm signed up for a screwdriver too...even my Klein ratcheting driver is not great. Thanks for taking time in development to think it through and do it right.
My dad is a farmer, super talented. 8 years ago, he posted a video of him building a damn. 5 years later it randomly got a million views. Shout outs to my dad. :)
We have an interoperable payments system here in India called UPI. All payment app can send and receive money to each other. It is possible, especially with the great minds at these companies, it is not at all impossible.
I know right? Big companies act like interoperable payment is some impossible task, when UPI'S success in India is proof that interoperability is possible but can also be implemented with suprising ease (with pressure from the government that is) , heck they (UPI) even launched a feature where you can make digital payments WITHOUT AN INTERNET CONNECTION all you need is a cellular network (as in connected to a network without having turned on mobile data) and your UPI credentials , like how frigging cool is that?!
Lol as someone who works at one of the major chat apps I don't see that digital markets act ever working, we have enough trouble staying compatible with ourselves.
Part everyone is missing is interoperability can screw end to end encryption apps like signal. I think this is a backdoor attack on apps like that in pretty packaging. Forcing signal to share the encryption key with government friendly companies means they would be able to access that data.
That was my main concern, they need to find a better way to do things that doesn't require sharing encryption keys. That said any time a company stores the encryption keys at all (which most of them do) a government agency can already demand said keys). Ideally keys are handled in a peer to peer fashion without storing them on an intermediary server but the downside with that approach is that the message won't send until both parties are online at the same time (would probably still use a server to let them know they need to exchange data). Other than that all of the proposed laws sounded pretty good.
I'm against right to repair. Whenever I need my house decorating I have the original builders do it. They use the exact same colour of paint to refresh the worn paint. Last time they came in they told me they no longer have that colour, so I bought a new house.
You absolutely can have a local backup of your iDevice, no cloud storage needed. I've been doing this for a decade now. Had to load a few new ones with those backups already (things happen). It does work, the device is exactly the same as the one you've seen die two days ago.
Apple used to restrict access to some bluetooth components. My friend once wrote obd2 app and it got banned because he went too deep into bluetooth code.
One of the best remotes support things that I've done for friends and family is get automated cloud backups set up by default. Set the shortcuts and make them easy. That way, when they take a picture and save it to the super obvious pictures file, it's already backed up. I definitely took the time to make easy shortcuts and remove as many unnecessary abs as possible. Making things simple and putting them on easy mode will reduce confusion
Hey just a heads up. Something got screwed up on the ending animation. Looks like a bunch of overwritten text. Keep up the great shows. I always look forward to listening to WAN show every week!
One thing that gets me are companies saying they're environmentally friendly but they do not or only slightly support right to repair. Fixing an already existing product is better than making a new one from an environmental stand point.
@@Qoushik Seriously, if your computers having a problem, would you not look at everything that's lead up to the point of the problem to try and diagnosis it? You'd just go "There's no reason this is happening! May as well get new parts to correct it"? Ridiculous.
Samsung "game optimization services" is an app that force installes it's self on samsung phones, always runs in the background and throttles the SoC all the time. And the older your device the more your device is throttled. *You can NOT uninstall nor disable the app*. And the worst pf all is that after receiving backlash from it they pushed out an update to let you disable it, *BUT ONLY ON S22* LINE... *WHAT ABOUT THE "OLDER" PHONES????*
The backpack looks amazing, but with that price I would wish for some type of guarantee that the quality is as good as claimed. Shipping + tax is an easy 350 total for me to Sweden and with my financial situation that is me saving all I can for like 3 months. I would love if there was some video before launch, by LTT or maybe an external testing channel/company/(Partner?) where it was put through some rigorous testing. Would also be amazing marketing =)
The problem with sweden is the 25% VAT, the 5% tolll and ~$8 USD handling fee. Though we should be without the 5% as that is only for wares over 2500 SEK (~$266 USD). But yeah the backpack is ~$320-333 USD without shipping. Im really curious about the backpack but the added cost gets the sheepskate in me to look for local variations, although never seen any that looks this thought through.
@@tams805 If you need to save up for something, you don’t need it? What kinda nonsense is that? I need a new washing machine, and I can’t afford it right now. In what world does that mean I don’t need one?
So main question about the screwdriver I had is what is the stock bits that come with. I saw #0, 1, & 2 Philip's but what size are the standard, hex, and torx bits? I'd be happy to test this in an industrial setting if you want!
So... I guess everyone should start implementing the matrix home server protocol now? It's the only messaging protocol out there that has end to end encryption for groups, multi device support, and can be tweaked to use phone numbers, emails, or just user handles.
Around the 20 minute mark, the one dude disagreeing with the EU bill could be seeing this from an IP perspective. I won't pretend to know what he's thinking, but there is a legitimate argument that these problems wouldn't exist without the current IP laws that criminalize breaking DRM, and laws that more in general establish "ownership" over code. If those were removed the rest of this wouldn't be needed as the bill is only, in an indirect way, carving out exceptions to it.
Ahh refreshing to see someone think about things with a little more nuance and depth. Lmao it's hilarious how Linus gets locked into a viewpoint and doesn't even consider a different angle. He immediately went to "hOw Do PeOpLe fAlL fOR ProPaGaNdA". But, he is entertaining.
All the dude said was literally "More government control, you think Canadians would have learned." Why is it on Linus to infer a deeper meaning from such a simplistic and straight up dumb way to look at the issue? I'm sure if you brought your point up regarding IP laws he might even agree with you but that's definitely not the point he was arguing against in that part of the vod. With that said, I also don't like it whenever Linus even bothers to read these straight up braindead takes, it's something that always annoys me when he talks about anything remotely controversial. These people are either not interested or simply lack the mental capacity to have a meaningful discussion so why engage them? It takes time away from arguing actually well thought out points and it certainly dilutes the quality of the conversation. On the other hand I understand that it's probably necessary to do that to an extent, because, with such a big and relatively broad audience, there will for sure be many people who read that comment and think "hmm this guy has a point", so it might be important for Linus point out how ridiculous such viewpoints are at times.
@@whatanoob96 A stream chat (even a superchat) has a limited amount of space to articulate an argument, and things in popular ones fly by so quickly it's unfortunately going to end up even worse than most twitter discussions.
I'm in the laundry business and I'm so happy they haven't tried to hide fixing the problems with right to repair. I call the manufacturer and they send me the parts and the diagrams and specifications of tightening bolts to the part I need to replace. It will kill the Industry if they sided with "valued techs to fix our product"
I’m going to use this screwdriver in the automotive industry, this better be as good or better than my Snap-On ratcheting screwdriver. I have very high hopes for LTT and have just been sold on purchasing a backpack too 😉😂
Is it likely that Linus drivers are better than snap-ons for real though? I have tonnes of RUclipsr merch I collect the stuff, and I have to say that nothing I have ever bought from a RUclips came close to that sort of quality. That includes the driver kits and mouse mats from GamersNexus. I mean they're nice but snap-ons will last you an actual lifetime.
The backpack is so far one of the products i've been the most eager to look foward to! Yes it's expensive but i believe in the quality you worked hard to get it there.
Bruh, I do procurement, it's a challenge right now. for the backpacks, you need to adjust your PO with the manufacturer, to 15k units for the first delivery at 90 day lead time, follow on with another 10k to start processing as soon as the first shipment passes FOB. then whatever remainder you want to follow on 2 months after the second shipment.
I wonder if "companies have to be able to access data they create" means they can't have zero-trust encryption where the Business cannot just say "We cannot access the user data you requested".
@@blunderingfool If they don't/barely log anything then there is nothing to access. Without actually looking at the exact wording in the legislation there isn't really a way to know what it means right now.
I'm generally very libertarian leaning when it comes to a government stepping in and doing a lot of things, but a lot of this makes sense. One of the issues we've created for ourselves when it comes to businesses are uneven tax brackets and buying out businesses, it's very hard for anyone but a mega corporation to make anywhere in tech, and seeing how these businesses benefit from corporate welfare (which comes out of my pocket 🙃) I'm perfectly fine with a governing body stepping in and "loosening the grip" as Linus said. Being able to remove apps I don't want sounds pretty great and fixing my tech sounds great as well. As long as regulations can exist without making things harder on the little guy than it does mega corps, then I'm fine with them.
When we are talking about regulating big companies we are basically at a country against country scale. So just like with defending a country with an army against other nations defending itself against big businesses is the basic use of countries in a libertarian sense right?
@@malteborgmanm2626 I can only really speak for Libertarianism in the American sense. Generally they believe in a decentralized government, however certain views can vary within this mindset. The way I see it is that these companies are partially owned by Americans since a lot of our "welfare" goes straight to their pockets, one of the biggest examples of this is Bezos's 8 billion dollar buyout. I see this as an extension of the government who needs to be regulated when it comes to how they serve the people. Unfortunately, a lot of Libertarians don't think this way which is frustrating for me to deal with, and is part of the reason I don't really call myself a "Libertarian".
I do generally believe in more decentralization everywhere, I think it's beneficial for communities to take a degree of power into their own hands (community based policing, medical insurance, drug legalization etc.) But we aren't nearly where we'd need to be in order for that to happen, since the people in power have a pretty firm foothold, and until that foothold is loosened we need to regulate like this where we can being that, like I said, these companies are practically state sponsored anyways.
@@gavinocool7 folks like you give me hope for the future - a reasonable amount of regulation is necessary, else the psychopaths among us would be the only ones thriving. Too much regulation is when people just decide that it's not bothering to take a risk and make better things - also we have always been sliding to a plutocracy since fiat money was invented. It's necessary, but it also need to be regulated
Books for passwords is a good thing, as long as you keep it at home and never take it outside. The chances of you getting robbed and the thief stealing a *book* are extremely low, much lower than getting hacked or forgetting a password. In most neighborhoods anyway.
The entire reason I use Linux is the ability to uninstall or install whatever I want. Don't like the interface? Install a different Desktop. Don't like any distro? Make your own. You just have so much freedom with your computer. So it's great to see that soon Windows users here in Europe can do the same. One question, does anyone know if this applies to Norway? They are not in the EU, but do follow many of the EU's policies.
I would imagine Norway will benefit from this as a knock on effect. I can't see companies going out of their way to make a Norwegian specific version of their app stores that ignore these new rules from the EU. Norway isn't a big enough country to be worth the effort for corperations.
At the store I used to work at Management campaigned for a Union and got a vote to unionize to pass. Base level workers got a raise of 10 cents that was lower than the next years raise from minimum wage. Managers got free healthcare, dental, 50% raises, a week of vacation time a year extra, double and a half overtime, triple and a half on holidays and Optometrists covered. Union dues were 35$ a week for everybody.
That's crazy expensive, my sister pays 7.50€ a year at 750montly wage and got hourly raises of 50ct to 3€ (Holliday, night, overtime) but more importantly they got the company to pay 15% Copay while furloughed so she was at 90% of her regular wage while cinemas were closed.
The browser being an essential part of the OS is slightly not bullshit in that Windows and most other OSes use their HTML renderer for other stuff, for example help pages in Windows were often HTML. Now, that's a justification for why the HTML renderer should be part of the OS, not why the browser should be. Hence the slightly.
Years ago when I was taking a Visual Basic class, I noticed when messing around it was insanely easy to add an internet explorer based viewport into an app in the form designer. I think it definitely increased the reliance on ie of small business software, especially in house stuff. That said, it could just as easily be a part of an API and not the core OS. Funny you mention help pages, ages ago they had their own chm format, actually reminded me a lot of WordPad in appearance, but with hyperlinks. The help documentation included feels like it's gotten less and less useful over time. I remember being a kid reading the help included in DOS 6.22 and learning how to use the computer completely from that. Now many times with Windows 10, if the automatic repair wizards don't work I'm left with utterly useless and generic seeming 'help' messages. Eep, bit of an unexpected rant there. Anyway, as I was saying, fine to have it in an API, doesn't need to be an unremovable app, if it is, it was designed that way.
ehh.. What's a computer? What's an OS? My mother in law would say its the thing that lets her pay her bills and access youtube online. I don't even think she can differentiate between the 2. (if she uses the built in browser) Is she wrong? If there is no built in browser in this day and age how do you get another browser onto the machine (I mean yeah you find a computer with a browser and transfer the installer, but the point is: is it a complete operating system if you need another machine to do one of it's basic functions: Find and install software)? I've always bought into Microsoft's line that the browser is part of the OS... But beyond needing it to download Netscape/Firefox/Chrome I've never agreed that it either needs to be the only engine (like safari IOS) or tied into certain other technologies (Cortana/desktop search). Is it essential: Yes it's not a complete computer without a browser. Does it need to tie into everything: No. I think we basically agree, but I think the HTML renderer becoming part of windows instead of IE is a line in the sand Microsoft crossed. And then tying edge into certain Windows elements is the new line that was drawn and crossed. And now forced online accounts in windows 11...... I hate when Microsoft tries to be a crappier Apple. It's so much better when they're their own kind of evil rather then this "We wish we were apple" evil... At least then there's something of a choice to be made. -Sigh- I guess that's just how it has to be when Apple has the phone market on lockdown and Microsoft can't seem to figure out how to Make phones work for them even when they owned Nokia. I really hope steam desk is mega successful it'd be so good for linux, It could make linux a mainstream desktop option.... Where Firefox is pre-installed... Because the browser IS essential to a modern operating system.
@@TheGodOfAllThatWas In the age of built in online stores and online account requirements for OS logins, having a dialog asking them to select a browser seems easy enough. I understand the UK has required something similar for a long time anyway.

I think Luke hit the nail on the head when saying "that sounds like a conversation that you need to be there for". That comment about Joe Rogan and the Chinese government was taken out of context. If you listen to the whole podcast, Joe was basically saying that the difference between what the American public and the Chinese public promote on social media is incredibly different. We're putting emphasis on stupid stunts and childishness while they're promoting an emphasis on maths and sciences. How long does that go on before we see a major cognitive shift in the younger generations? Hell, we can already see it.
And I don't agree on how "educational" chinese could take hands on their social media. Anyday without xenophobia on the top searches happening would be so rare to see...
In countries were unionization is strong, the union is not something that is an everyday aspect of the particular workplace, it is almost more like a government agency that is setting certain standards for employment of their members. Often employers think of it as a commentary on their performance as an employer, which it is not. I work in the movie industry, a HIGHLY unionized industry, and it just means that there are certain rules that union members must be paid and treated and there is a way for an employee to deal with issues that rise to a level that they don't feel comfortable to deal with on the production. As Linus mentioned, when talking about the EU regulations that are coming, union's collective bargaining benefits often spreads to the non-union workers because it is easier for the employer to deal with everyone the same. "A rising tide lifts all boats". For the employer, it is like employment regulations like minimum wage, just a part of doing business. A TRULY benevolent boss would have his employees join the respective national unions that align with their job titles and just start to conform to the collective bargaining agreements. This way, it wouldn't be the LTT employees forming an LTT employees union, it would be camera men/women join the National Camera Person Union or some such and the office workers joining the the Canadian Office Employees Union or some such. Union members, that work in a good environment, don't get snippety about "The Union Rules" just like they don't get snippety about the "Government Employment Rules" when they work in a good company. I doubt anyone at LTT are complaining about working an extra 20 minutes, if not a whole lot more, when needed, because Linus and Yvonne are great people to work for. It won't be any different if they are represented by unions. I also think that Linus should work a way to sell the company to the employees when he is looking for is inevitable exit. He gets paid for all his long hard work, and the employees get to move ahead reaping the benefits of their hard work and dedication and not having to worry about "the new owners". Anyway, my 2 cents, for what it is worth, which is about 2 cents, 1.5 cents Canadian.
I get where your coming from, but some Unions are awful and do little for the employees themselves, Except collect unions duties. i get some are good and some are bad. But it's adding additional complexity to something that already work's in a manor deemed favorable by both employees and employer's. It's fixing something that isnt broken, as for the buy out, no freaking idea, so i cant speak to that.
@@Dracossaint I guess my rebuttal is, you are an american. As an american you have been a victim of many decades of intentional anti-union propaganda. In countries where unions are pervasive, the public's opinion of them are quite high and they are quite effective. Secondly, a union is a collective. It is not a company or a government department. It is literally owned and operated by the members. If a union is, as you say, "awful and do little for the employees themselves", what you are describing is a bunch of people screwing themselves. There is little difference between a union thats member's don't care anything about and don't participate in keeping it responsive to the members needs and no union at all. Was the union(s) you've been a member of not been a good experience?

Interesting for someone to comment about greenwashing and then suggest you should commit to being "carbon neutral". Doesn't that just involve paying a company to plant trees then claiming you're eco friendly? Like... Greenwashing...? (Ok, slight oversimplification, but my point is still valid) There's a reality that it's all greenwashing. If you don't like it, just don't buy it. You probably don't need it. Not buying the thing is the real eco friendly approach, rather than buying stuff that claims to be carbon neutral... That said, LTT stuff is designed to be high quality, so it's already better than ordering something cheap and cheerful which will break or wear out sooner. That's the closest one can get to being green while owning stuff - only buy it once rather than again and again each time a thing breaks. Don't get me wrong, I love anything that fights pollution and climate change, but I'm realistic. Marketing is marketing. Reality is reality.

I will say ADB does allow you to remove any non essential preinstalled apps, but I admit that if you already have functionality in place to allow users to uninstall apps, and don't allow that functionality for certain apps that you can't reasonably demonstrate are essential to the OS (like facebook or gaming apps) then yes this law will help.
I dislike the take on unions. I think all workers should be unionized. The personal failure of the employer should be at the point when the union has to step in. If the employer is decent, having all workers unionized should make zero difference.
If youre a good employer the workers being unionised is good for you, it will disrupt competitors who arent good to their workers. Also good for the employees who get better job portability
Maybe in america but most developed countries have really good workers protection. A union in those countries would mean that the employer has failed to make the workplace meet basic requirements.
absolutely love this legislation it seems like it will actually make the companies listen since there's a percentage income fine not a small fine :)) so great

Tbh the backpack looks really good. And I'm really interested. But damn am I afraid for the import fees 😂. Sometimes you gotta take a chance let's just hope it gets available and will be sold out in a mere minute or 10 😏
I'm into the backpack. I don't care when it's delivered or what the import taxes are gonna be (tbh, I'm lucky enough not to have to care) So, Linus. Just put ~5000 up for preorder, with a disclaimer that you don't know when it will arrive. I'm cool with that - and I'm sure others are too. (And please do make it an option to bundle it with the skrewdriver and maybe other accessories too)
@@JonLinde yeah the backpack is awesome. And I also don't care when it arrives. As long as I have the t&t code I'm fine with it. I am not always as unfortunate to have to care about import fees. But it's a Russian roulette with the customs here. Sometimes you're lucky other times you just help the government with their income 😂. I agree with the 5k preorder with the disclaimer if all 5k are pre-ordered and paid it's a 1.25m cashflow to lmg so they can order another batch of backpacks. A bundle would be sweet for 320 USD you have both hot items. I think both will arrive at the same time so it will safe lmg on shipping. But I understand Linus to. You're not sure when or if they arrive. Canada's customs can be annoying as fuck sometimes. So if those 10 containers are at the docks but customs is gonna take their sweet time to process them it will take ages for them to arrive at lmg. But I agree I don't give a damn about a long waiting time. It's 3 weeks on his way anyways. Because dutch customs also take ages to go through freight. And that's in a more relaxed period 😅. When it's busy it easily can take 5 weeks (3 of that are customs)

What the majority of people do not realise is that the most expensive part of manufacturing any item that is injection moulded,such as a screwdriver, is the mould itself purely because each Injection mould is BESPOKE and will probably never be used for anything else unless itcan be easily modified. Injection moulds can cost millions of dollars which is why it is imperative to ensure the end product is suitable for its intended purpose.
I don't really see much of a reason to be excited for new more powerful GPU's as far as gaming is concerned. Yeah Unreal Engine 5 is impressive and all but not many games are fully utilizing the power of even the current gen consoles. Not to mention most game companies are actively trying to make shorter less feature rich games anyway to cut down on time and increase profit margins. Until these companies focus on game quality over micro transactions I really don't see a "need" for a monster gaming pc. (Yes there are plenty of professions where you need a high end GPU. I simply don't see gaming as something that needs that.)
A lot of the best games are indies anyway, and besides, the graphical fidelity is seeing such diminishing returns (especially while actually gaming and not just standing around zooming at things) that I'm not in any hurry to upgrade either (arguably downgraded with the Steam Deck).

@@defeqel6537 I absolutely agree! Most of the games I'm playing for myself right now rather than online with friends are Indie titles. The Steam Deck looks amazing! I actually am going to be signing up to order one here soon (sadly will take a long time I'm sure.) Replacing a 5 year old desktop and a 8 year old laptop with it. Both were mid range at the time of purchase.

My favorite thing in the EU Parliament legislation is how the companies will be charged percentages, instead of set amounts. That is beautiful.
Exactly - that is the biggest 'W' for me - this gives the Parliament TEETH of sufficient punishment to enforce their laws on giant, money-filled corporations.
You can make ALL the laws you like, but if you don't have any way to ENFORCE those laws, it's just hot air and hope. THIS means business.
@@empath69 It also means lots of jobs for law-enforcers... who don't mind going up against whatever "security personnel" the giant companies to field against them... while being paid only a smidgin' above national minimum wage. =:o\
The proposed EU law is good. Making it *work* will take serious financial and organisational commitment within the EU. I *really* hope the law-enforcement bosses and middle-managers are at least half as up to speed on how the real world works, as the legislators who've proposed this.
Very good yes

The way thispersondoesnotexist works, is that they are constantly generating new images every two seconds (?), no matter how many people are visiting their site. So you are NOT actually prompting a generation when you visit. You are just pulling a copy of the most recent generation. Which will change if you wait more than 2 seconds (?) and refresh the page. So it makes perfect sense that you'd both get the same image when you visit at the same time.
It is NOT "overload protection". It's just the way the site works. Everyone gets the same image if they visit during the same 2 second window.
Note, I'm not sure if it is 2 seconds or 5 seconds, or what the exact time window is. But it is small.
Regarding now preorders, I totally agree with Linus' position, but the Steam Deck approach is one option. Let people pay a nominal $5 charge to lock in commitment. If you don't end up ordering backpack it converts to LTTStore credit. That way, you have a better idea of actual purchase intent, but aren't screwing people if things don't work out.
bro are u in mario movie
It still doesn't translate 1:1 though, but definitely more than just notifications.
You are suggesting the same thing that he said he doesn't want to do.
I have an idea. Linus makes a video and says backpacks are ready to purchase. Let's say I'm a customer. I simply go and purchase the product, but there is a problem! When I try to process the payment, it redirects me to a thank you page and explains that this is a fake payment process and the product isn't actually available yet! It also shows the user a checkbox or something to signup to get a notification when the product was available!
As this sounds fun, it actually needs to be executed very well so no one gets confused/angry or whatever...
They probably won't do something like this.

@@tack3411 that I also agree. A "legitimate drug-dealing" company responsible for destroying (also deaths of) lives of milions, and nothing major happens to anybody. But you can go prison for virtually anything
Companies having access to the data they created example:
Doctors office (a company) uses software system A and they decide they want to switch to software system B. This law would require A to provide the data to the doctor's office so they can move to B.
Dang that's so vital.... And so easy to deny for service providers as of now
I don't know where you live, but in the EU that's already the case.
I don't think at this point A would need you to provide with easily integratable data, but you own your data and can move it from A to B whenever you want.
@@roadrunner6224 this is currently a grey area under EU GDPR. It requires that EU CITIZENS have access to their data in a portable readable format. BUT it does not explicitly require they put any effort into portability to support a BUSINESS in migrating their data OUT of Software A's system to Software B.
SO the real world result is that a *HORRIBLE* JSON or XML file will come out from software A which is supposedly 'portable' but requires software B to write a custom parser to ingest that file.
Then all software A has to do is slightly modify the export file format to cripple the import function created by software B.
This proposed change to law is a VERY good thing for consumers as it will give companies more freedom to choose/change software suppliers.

The fact Linus doesn't want to make pre orders as a ethical stand makes me happy to support him. It's rare to see someone stand their ground morally when regarding money. Everyone is a saint until money is involved... and the fact he doesn't want to compromise his morals shows the type of person he is.

I love Luke's reaction about the Hacker group, he's looking at this from a developer's pont of perspective.
These hackers come out of nowhere with really high target data breachers where an insane amount of security researchers work to prevent this from happening. This is impressive because it's supposed to be impossible for one group to go this hard and drop them like it's nothing.
It's likely they got into everyone else BECAUSE they got into Okta, which would explain a lot. (Okta does account/password management for big orgs)
@@PhatOof this , and they also got employees of some of the companies
Ehh from a cyber security point of view, black hat hackers have unlimmited time and energy
White hats have finite time and energy, budget constraints, dependency from other orgs, and need to prioritize the threats to the business.
Security resesrchers at those business are never attempting to have completly secure systems, but good enougn and having plans for whenever a system is compromised.
The other trick is making it as painful as you can for attackers, as the only saving grace of attackers is that they normally bore easily.
Since theyre now highly motivated, and got a decent team, soc teams have now got their hands full.
Also, its a pack of kids - this is almost literally a 1985 movie plot, this sort of thing just isnt supposed to be possible anymore.

Thus adding to the awareness I've been nurturing for a few years now, one that internet security might not actually really exist lol... and... that's for the part of it that, you you know, is actually trying... Let's... I mean, never mind the ones not even bothering about it. Now that is assuming that the people that would would be presumed to bother, or are supposed to bother.. are actually bothering. You know, like facebook, or highly integrated financial institutions, or credit card companies, or local government... Now to be fair, kind of a gray area when it comes to infrastructure.. they should be... but technically speaking, I mean... it's not something that traditionally is talked about having Internet security, especially considering that it existed prior in a near identical manner long before, and even during internet, with little to do regarding... except now it does in every way lol! So technically, little bit of column retard, with you know, giant monolith of greed... that's more of an excuse than Equifax had... Or Facebook LOL.. or fucking Nord, that internet privacy service provider that...uh... seem to put very little effort into privacy or security, rather than.. advertising? If only they hadn't had all those logs of its customers, that paid for security and privacy... Well shit, I mean they've obviously learned their lesson.. so it's probably even more of a good idea to trust them with your passwords! I mean, they say it's encrypted! And the VPN only gets shilled on channels that are desperate or wouldn't know any better.
So providing they're not glorified used car salesman of the social media and influencer dystopic dimension with a well documented history of maximum sales and minimum product, {in this case not even viable LOL...). Then there's traditional good old business sense, the Milton Friedman reality of capitalism that fucks with my Ayn Randian fantasy, you know the kind that.. was totally supposed to replace parts on the dc-10s, or have proper inspections.. or maintenance.. and you know it's like, I mean.. back in the 70s getting sucked out of an airplane window with your seat belt on while people were holding on to you, like that wasn't uncommon.. it just didn't happen every day exactly, but not... Like there used to be a huge business in selling single trip life insurance at airports for about two bucks... And you know, eventually after that particular company had practically set an airport on fire.. they were... Fined a small amount of money... Like we're talking into the thousands of lives at this point that was entirely preventable, but actively not prevented on account that it was just thousands, and the fine I can't remember if it was in the low millions or hundreds of thousands but pretty significantly small by comparison to.. sucked out of a fucking plane window, and then there's all the others that died through various reasons, almost all of which involved policies that had taken these risks and had borne witness to these things on on the entire lifespan of that plane, and this was not uncommon it wasn't the only plan that had issues.. it just happened to be the one that got a reputation for it...
What the fuck does that have to do with Internet security, well.. I don't even think they did a apology montage...? Like eventually they had to do something, it was more of a oh shit well that was a tragedy, if only there was something we could have done or if it was in any way our fault.. and then you know, tiny check and a decommission of the airplane...
And this kind of behavior, it's kind of in style right now LOL.. like there's a lot of regulations that came about because of things like this, and it's 40 years later we have fixed so many of them! Just like Nord fixed their reputation, the power of ideological misdirection is stronger than it has ever been since the fucking Catholic Church was dominating the Western business world. so obviously forget about the internet of things ever being short up or secured in any way, like anything that's not an actual thing that would be directly involved in some sort of technology or national security is definitely not getting addressed in any way whatsoever, unless they have to scapegoat around it, which is more than likely what's going to go down a bit in the future given that iot is how all the other things have vulnerabilities in a lot of cases that should be secured.
As far as the government goes, I mean I think they're trying they seem like they're trying.. they obviously didn't think through the whole making the first move thing in 09 that pretty much signaled game on to everybody.. certainly not that part where we didn't take credit for it but in instead we we decided to to take credit for it LOL.. cuz... So anyhow, now as to whether or not those things are actually secure, well let's face it these companies have had a very important interest in maintaining the appearance that things are secure like your credit card, or your government, or you're super government or whatever.. like it's kind of a business that largely functions on the perception of its value, and perhaps strategically some of that was deterrent.. but you know... That shits like that shit sailed, beached.. was broken down into a fucking Tom Hanks cabin, then broken into another raft and sailed again...
So as like I don't know enough to know the particulars, but everybody that I talk to or listen to that does does not have great things to say with regards to the actual state or viability of security, the things that I do know, make it seem like it's just fucking you know.. you're locking the front door, while leaving the man size dog door open, with a button that's on the gate.. and apparently it, like it writes down when you're out of dog food and orders it automatically.. and probably could play Doom... And is also hooked into your smart home... Which is run by a company that very very very very very much sells its products under the guys or reputation of being quite secure, despite having your dog door that's man-sized with LEDs hooked up to it...
So yeah, good fucking luck everybody, sorry I swear so much I really was trying.. also two-factor authentication is how you get SIM swapped by retards.. yes there are ways and then there are ways but just throwing two-factor authentication out there is actually kind of irresponsible, like you actually need to go into it, another thing that is not commonly talked about because there is no technical solution for it, hence why most people haven't even heard of it. So as long as you're poor you should be fine, like it's usually a one stop shop situation... But you know, if you got something to lose you you might lose most of it, and just enjoy the satisfaction that when they do go to jail, cuz almost all of them do.. they'll have all their money left thanks to bitcoin when they get out, it's a feature apparently of this whole thing...
Anyhow hopefully I made my point in the top half of this... I wouldn't want to undermine it in a maliciously disrespectful and tone deaf disregard for those who take genuine offense to the notion that something was far too long for them to want to read, and thus on the holy crusade to combat such malicious behavior, as all things are written to them, and expected of them to be read.. and in that, how fucking dare you! My apologies in advance! Offense wasn't meant, I just have lost a lot of the new speak I grew up with.. it's cuz I'm bad at math.

Interoperability between instant messengers actually worries me slightly. If it's done correctly, it'll be great, but apps like Signal employ good encryption standards and I'm willing to bet Whatsapp doesn't (even though they claim they use the signal protocol, there's no way to verify that). If instant messengers are forced to be interoperable, what are the chances they'll just drop the encryption to make it easier? I absolutely do not want that. Of course Signal doesn't fall in the categorie of businesses that the EU is targeting, but if all other apps are interoperable It'll be even harder to get people to switch over.
Nothing that can’t be solved with a banner that warns the encryption is not safe / doesn’t meet requirements
Isn't this already solved in Signal by default? When I get an SMS, an open lock icon appears and when I get a message from another Signal user, two checkmarks appear. Wouldn't it just come down to the Signal team, labeling messages from other messaging services correctly and we're fine?
You could also see it as a reason why changing to signal would cost way less effort
Encryption methods already have many established standards, especially in networking (see HTTPS, SSH, etc.). Companies pretending they couldn't use common algorithms is just another excuse to try to keep people locked in rather than interoperating.

I love the move towards removing non-essential apps. My gaming PC doesn't need candy crush and my work PC SURE AS HELL doesn't need candy crush
Can we get a "Stop simping for billion dollar companies" shirt?
Yes to that shirt. Make it cool though so I’m not just wearing a basic shirt with basic text.
Well, I'm not sure but a lot of iOS apps make use of Safari to display content - I'm pretty sure it uses the core app - so it will be interesting to see what would break if it was removed.
@@ytfeelslikenorthkorea you know that Brave on iOS is just Safari with a skin right?
There are sadly already a few problems with that.
First - give me my MineSweeper. i need that on my business laptop.
And secondly there are many game that are using internet-explorer for their ingame-shop.
Still - nobody should be forced to keep IE on their system.
@@ytfeelslikenorthkorea you can disable automatic restarts through Group Policies. There are also options to disable antivirus, waking up for updates and many more things.
I'm so happy we're back to 2 hour WANs. I love just seeing Linus and Luke talk, and since they only "kinda" stick to the topics, we get a lot of their thoughts, when they tangent. 2 hours leads to a lot more tangents, and I'm glad they have the time to be able to do it for 2 hours. I know they're both busy, so I'm glad they're "less" busy.
I am so excited to hear about what the EU is doing. I work for a cellular company here in Canada. I've dealt with customers who heard about an awesome new Android phone. They come in excited and I assure them they can leave apple and it will be fine. Customer leaves happy. Then a few days later they come back to exchange their phone for an iPhone because all the group chats they use for work are all with iMessage. That's now become a question I ask customers when they are thinking of switching from apple to android.
That's kinda sad xD.
But its also weird that a workplace uses apple i message as an official communication channel. Maybe its because i live in the EU but the most comparable thing would be a semi official whatsapp group for work. But even that can never be the only communication channel because you can't expect everyone to have a smartphone. And if you do you should equip your employees with a work smartphone.
Yessss, it's very annoying that the default camera app can't do manual focus (or zoom in using the front camera), but the third party apps that can do that, aren't allowed to use the full resolution of the camera, manual white balance, the depth sensor or manual exposure (but exposure locking and exposure compensation work??) on my phone
Its up to the developer of the app. If they know what they're doing and their execs want a good product, it will work as intended. There are third party camera apps that can take advantage of the native features but Snapchat on Android takes a screen grab and uninformed apple spoilt brats call android cameras bad
@@SuhailKhan-qd5cf well, it's not really. Samsung just basically locks out some features for apps not on their list. (I myself usually use open camera, but I doesn't have access to manual white balance or the "48mp" mode, those are locked to the default camera app and apps samsung likes (or I assume have paid them enough money))
LTT needs to do a limited run "Bag Of Holding" with the words in fancy middle ages calligraphy.
I'm pretty sure the term is copywrite iirc... lol. but 100% agreed if not!
@@VideoAssaultSaturday terms/phrases cannot be copyrighted but they can be trademarked. In all likelihood there's a good possibility that because "bag of holding" is such a common phrase used in RPGs and has been for decades that it probably can't be trademarked

Aside from health insureance and less police shootings you mean. Yeah "sometimes"
(I am talking about usa, i woule guess canada is much better when it comes to those examples)
@@suppar8066 Health insurance is a double edge sword, legally our doctors still have to provide service even if the patient can't pay (they do sometimes do a sub-par job which is still illegal but hard to sue if you can't afford to pay in the first place). While our Health Care is way too expensive and drugs are pushed way to often there is a reason why people who need major surgeries often come to the US. As an example I know a German woman who's missing part of her hip, she came to the US because Germany's health care system refused to do the surgery she needed to be mobile (they would keep her alive and give her pain killers and such but no surgery).

@@GeraintDafis The customer service I’ve gotten from Amazon has been far away the best in the tech industry. When I complained about Newegg’s APO shipping they basically said “this is the way it is”. It cost more to ship a case to my APO address than it does to ship to Anchorage Alaska from Newegg. Amazon ships most items to APO addresses for free since they treat them just like US addresses since they are basically the same with only needing a customs form. I’m not asking for free, but it shouldn’t cost $70 to ship a $100 case.
Fully support the open app store choice, BUT... I really hope that MS/Google/Apple add an option to lock the store or add in cert trust requirements to some degree (that can be disabled for power users) so that when I hand the phone/tablet/computer to family members, they don't immediately fill it with scam app stores and apps that are placed on toxic ads everywhere. I fully support the choice, but damn does there need to be protections in place otherwise this is going to get messy for family members managing devices.
making the pin also protect against app instals that aren't from the app store (or even then) should be the solution there. Like sudo asking for the password
@@ratchet1freak There need to be a second PIN or at lest the possibility to create a second PIN used to allow installations of apps
I don't support the open app store choice, though I do support better options for alternative payments, % cuts, etc. (ESPECIALLY stacked with the "more access to phone's capabilities, those two together scare me) Been in IT long enough that it's nice to know that for the most part, an iPhone or whatever mobile device I'm looking at will be reasonably stable and not "junked up" or doing something it shouldn't be. Yes, I KNOW there have been rogue apps on all of the app stores that do stuff they aren't supposed to, but they can easily get blocked by the device manufacturer, and it's been semi rare.
This! I don’t personally want more open and easily accessible attack vectors in my devices, i think about that enough at work, but wouldn’t mind other people wanting the ability to do this.

Honestly, I dont give a shit that the how to build a PC video is almost 2h long. I think it’s actually a good thing. If you‘re spending hundreds or thousands of money units on parts, you absolutely want to get it right and know ALL about how to do it correctly. If not, you‘re a spoiled idiot. And in case you‘re not, you ABSOLUTELY want to take that kind of time to do it. When I built my first computer I took a whole day to complete it (all by myself, only youtube as guidance) and I‘m so glad I did, because that knowledge sticks. Like, building your first computer without prior knowledge is a really big deal imo and in having good instructions, you come to see that it really is not that difficult.
Yeah PCs are luxury goods these days with gfx card prices. You want to get itnright
I essentially watched ALL of Techquickie videos and dozens of build guides from LTT, J2C, Kyle etc before I built my PC last year. Took about a week to research all the parts on forums, YT reviews etc. And you're absolutely right about that knowledge sticking with you!
Same pfp
NOOOO not the intro! I love listening and watching it myself 😭
Great WAN otherwise, and not only signed up for the backpack, but going to buy! Can't wait!
If you're still against preorders for the backpack, do a "Kickstarter" type option, where people commit to spend the money, but the charge doesn't hit their card until you have the backpack on hand, and they can cancel it up until a certain date.
That's kinda defeating the whole point of kickstarter, that's just kicking with phantom feet, they can't produce the product without actually getting 'kicked' by the customer, basically preorders all over again.
Basically anything that means I don't have to get up at 3am and spend hours pressing F5 and ending up with nothing.
I don't really see what benefit there would be to this unless I'm misunderstanding though, they have added the email alerts feature which already provides them information regarding the amount of interest there is into the product itself, and the only advantage to doing pre-orders that they've mentioned would be so that they have more money now to help things along, if Kickstarter doesn't provide them that money until after they're already shipping the product then it doesn't seem like it makes much sense
Doesn't solve the problem. They need a million dollars to buy the stock they need, they will sell the bags, but they don't have the money to order enough
@@RobFisherUK Yes maybe pre-order is a bad word to Linus but they should maybe do reservations. Where I can commit to buying one and give them my payment information and then as soon as they are available it goes through the reservations first. So at least I can commit to buying one now and not miss out because I have a job, but Linus dosent worry about missing a date because I can just cancel and give up my spot. Granted this doesn't help them with cash flow, but it would help their customers.
At the next LTX expo it would be really cool to have a "product development" stand where you can see the progression of development through the samples of each piece of merch that's released with a few notes that describe the changes and challenges for each product.

We have an interoperable payments system here in India called UPI. All payment app can send and receive money to each other. It is possible, especially with the great minds at these companies, it is not at all impossible.
I know right? Big companies act like interoperable payment is some impossible task, when UPI'S success in India is proof that interoperability is possible but can also be implemented with suprising ease (with pressure from the government that is) , heck they (UPI) even launched a feature where you can make digital payments WITHOUT AN INTERNET CONNECTION all you need is a cellular network (as in connected to a network without having turned on mobile data) and your UPI credentials , like how frigging cool is that?!
Lol as someone who works at one of the major chat apps I don't see that digital markets act ever working, we have enough trouble staying compatible with ourselves.
Keep in mind that the EU represents twice the population of the US, roughly. That means that they have actual power to make big tech submit.
Who the hell skips the intro?! I skip the ads specifically _to watch the intro_ 😂 I love the LTT intro!
Part everyone is missing is interoperability can screw end to end encryption apps like signal. I think this is a backdoor attack on apps like that in pretty packaging.
Forcing signal to share the encryption key with government friendly companies means they would be able to access that data.
That was my main concern, they need to find a better way to do things that doesn't require sharing encryption keys. That said any time a company stores the encryption keys at all (which most of them do) a government agency can already demand said keys). Ideally keys are handled in a peer to peer fashion without storing them on an intermediary server but the downside with that approach is that the message won't send until both parties are online at the same time (would probably still use a server to let them know they need to exchange data).
Other than that all of the proposed laws sounded pretty good.
the Q&A section lately has been sooo good, almost better than the actual show xD
I'm against right to repair.
Whenever I need my house decorating I have the original builders do it. They use the exact same colour of paint to refresh the worn paint. Last time they came in they told me they no longer have that colour, so I bought a new house.
You absolutely can have a local backup of your iDevice, no cloud storage needed. I've been doing this for a decade now. Had to load a few new ones with those backups already (things happen). It does work, the device is exactly the same as the one you've seen die two days ago.
Apple used to restrict access to some bluetooth components. My friend once wrote obd2 app and it got banned because he went too deep into bluetooth code.
One of the best remotes support things that I've done for friends and family is get automated cloud backups set up by default. Set the shortcuts and make them easy. That way, when they take a picture and save it to the super obvious pictures file, it's already backed up.
I definitely took the time to make easy shortcuts and remove as many unnecessary abs as possible. Making things simple and putting them on easy mode will reduce confusion
Hey just a heads up. Something got screwed up on the ending animation. Looks like a bunch of overwritten text. Keep up the great shows. I always look forward to listening to WAN show every week!
One thing that gets me are companies saying they're environmentally friendly but they do not or only slightly support right to repair. Fixing an already existing product is better than making a new one from an environmental stand point.

Samsung "game optimization services" is an app that force installes it's self on samsung phones, always runs in the background and throttles the SoC all the time.

And the worst pf all is that after receiving backlash from it they pushed out an update to let you disable it, *BUT ONLY ON S22* LINE... *WHAT ABOUT THE "OLDER" PHONES????*
The backpack looks amazing, but with that price I would wish for some type of guarantee that the quality is as good as claimed. Shipping + tax is an easy 350 total for me to Sweden and with my financial situation that is me saving all I can for like 3 months. I would love if there was some video before launch, by LTT or maybe an external testing channel/company/(Partner?) where it was put through some rigorous testing. Would also be amazing marketing =)
Just don't buy it if it's too expensive for you?
If you need to *save* that much for it (or anything), then you don't need it.
I agree. Especially when there’s a direct competition with Everki and their Limited Lifetime Warranty
The problem with sweden is the 25% VAT, the 5% tolll and ~$8 USD handling fee. Though we should be without the 5% as that is only for wares over 2500 SEK (~$266 USD). But yeah the backpack is ~$320-333 USD without shipping. Im really curious about the backpack but the added cost gets the sheepskate in me to look for local variations, although never seen any that looks this thought through.

So... I guess everyone should start implementing the matrix home server protocol now? It's the only messaging protocol out there that has end to end encryption for groups, multi device support, and can be tweaked to use phone numbers, emails, or just user handles.
Around the 20 minute mark, the one dude disagreeing with the EU bill could be seeing this from an IP perspective. I won't pretend to know what he's thinking, but there is a legitimate argument that these problems wouldn't exist without the current IP laws that criminalize breaking DRM, and laws that more in general establish "ownership" over code. If those were removed the rest of this wouldn't be needed as the bill is only, in an indirect way, carving out exceptions to it.
Ahh refreshing to see someone think about things with a little more nuance and depth. Lmao it's hilarious how Linus gets locked into a viewpoint and doesn't even consider a different angle. He immediately went to "hOw Do PeOpLe fAlL fOR ProPaGaNdA". But, he is entertaining.
All the dude said was literally "More government control, you think Canadians would have learned."
Why is it on Linus to infer a deeper meaning from such a simplistic and straight up dumb way to look at the issue? I'm sure if you brought your point up regarding IP laws he might even agree with you but that's definitely not the point he was arguing against in that part of the vod.
With that said, I also don't like it whenever Linus even bothers to read these straight up braindead takes, it's something that always annoys me when he talks about anything remotely controversial. These people are either not interested or simply lack the mental capacity to have a meaningful discussion so why engage them? It takes time away from arguing actually well thought out points and it certainly dilutes the quality of the conversation.
On the other hand I understand that it's probably necessary to do that to an extent, because, with such a big and relatively broad audience, there will for sure be many people who read that comment and think "hmm this guy has a point", so it might be important for Linus point out how ridiculous such viewpoints are at times.

I skip it, not because it is long, but simply because I don't like it.
I still wonder if swamps gives you swamp-butt 😞
Bruh, I do procurement, it's a challenge right now. for the backpacks, you need to adjust your PO with the manufacturer, to 15k units for the first delivery at 90 day lead time, follow on with another 10k to start processing as soon as the first shipment passes FOB. then whatever remainder you want to follow on 2 months after the second shipment.
I wonder if "companies have to be able to access data they create" means they can't have zero-trust encryption where the Business cannot just say "We cannot access the user data you requested".
They could just hand it back encrypted, I suppose. "Here's all your data. If you lost the key then that's your problem."

Seeing Linus laugh that hard at the end really made my day
I'm generally very libertarian leaning when it comes to a government stepping in and doing a lot of things, but a lot of this makes sense. One of the issues we've created for ourselves when it comes to businesses are uneven tax brackets and buying out businesses, it's very hard for anyone but a mega corporation to make anywhere in tech, and seeing how these businesses benefit from corporate welfare (which comes out of my pocket 🙃) I'm perfectly fine with a governing body stepping in and "loosening the grip" as Linus said. Being able to remove apps I don't want sounds pretty great and fixing my tech sounds great as well. As long as regulations can exist without making things harder on the little guy than it does mega corps, then I'm fine with them.
When we are talking about regulating big companies we are basically at a country against country scale. So just like with defending a country with an army against other nations defending itself against big businesses is the basic use of countries in a libertarian sense right?
@@malteborgmanm2626 I can only really speak for Libertarianism in the American sense. Generally they believe in a decentralized government, however certain views can vary within this mindset. The way I see it is that these companies are partially owned by Americans since a lot of our "welfare" goes straight to their pockets, one of the biggest examples of this is Bezos's 8 billion dollar buyout. I see this as an extension of the government who needs to be regulated when it comes to how they serve the people. Unfortunately, a lot of Libertarians don't think this way which is frustrating for me to deal with, and is part of the reason I don't really call myself a "Libertarian".
I do generally believe in more decentralization everywhere, I think it's beneficial for communities to take a degree of power into their own hands (community based policing, medical insurance, drug legalization etc.) But we aren't nearly where we'd need to be in order for that to happen, since the people in power have a pretty firm foothold, and until that foothold is loosened we need to regulate like this where we can being that, like I said, these companies are practically state sponsored anyways.
@@gavinocool7 folks like you give me hope for the future - a reasonable amount of regulation is necessary, else the psychopaths among us would be the only ones thriving.
Too much regulation is when people just decide that it's not bothering to take a risk and make better things - also we have always been sliding to a plutocracy since fiat money was invented.

The entire reason I use Linux is the ability to uninstall or install whatever I want. Don't like the interface? Install a different Desktop. Don't like any distro? Make your own. You just have so much freedom with your computer. So it's great to see that soon Windows users here in Europe can do the same. One question, does anyone know if this applies to Norway? They are not in the EU, but do follow many of the EU's policies.
I would imagine Norway will benefit from this as a knock on effect. I can't see companies going out of their way to make a Norwegian specific version of their app stores that ignore these new rules from the EU. Norway isn't a big enough country to be worth the effort for corperations.
At the store I used to work at Management campaigned for a Union and got a vote to unionize to pass. Base level workers got a raise of 10 cents that was lower than the next years raise from minimum wage. Managers got free healthcare, dental, 50% raises, a week of vacation time a year extra, double and a half overtime, triple and a half on holidays and Optometrists covered. Union dues were 35$ a week for everybody.
That's crazy expensive, my sister pays 7.50€ a year at 750montly wage and got hourly raises of 50ct to 3€ (Holliday, night, overtime) but more importantly they got the company to pay 15% Copay while furloughed so she was at 90% of her regular wage while cinemas were closed.
The browser being an essential part of the OS is slightly not bullshit in that Windows and most other OSes use their HTML renderer for other stuff, for example help pages in Windows were often HTML.
Now, that's a justification for why the HTML renderer should be part of the OS, not why the browser should be. Hence the slightly.
Years ago when I was taking a Visual Basic class, I noticed when messing around it was insanely easy to add an internet explorer based viewport into an app in the form designer.
I think it definitely increased the reliance on ie of small business software, especially in house stuff. That said, it could just as easily be a part of an API and not the core OS.
Funny you mention help pages, ages ago they had their own chm format, actually reminded me a lot of WordPad in appearance, but with hyperlinks.
The help documentation included feels like it's gotten less and less useful over time.
I remember being a kid reading the help included in DOS 6.22 and learning how to use the computer completely from that. Now many times with Windows 10, if the automatic repair wizards don't work I'm left with utterly useless and generic seeming 'help' messages.
Eep, bit of an unexpected rant there.
Anyway, as I was saying, fine to have it in an API, doesn't need to be an unremovable app, if it is, it was designed that way.
ehh.. What's a computer? What's an OS? My mother in law would say its the thing that lets her pay her bills and access youtube online. I don't even think she can differentiate between the 2. (if she uses the built in browser) Is she wrong? If there is no built in browser in this day and age how do you get another browser onto the machine (I mean yeah you find a computer with a browser and transfer the installer, but the point is: is it a complete operating system if you need another machine to do one of it's basic functions: Find and install software)? I've always bought into Microsoft's line that the browser is part of the OS... But beyond needing it to download Netscape/Firefox/Chrome I've never agreed that it either needs to be the only engine (like safari IOS) or tied into certain other technologies (Cortana/desktop search). Is it essential: Yes it's not a complete computer without a browser. Does it need to tie into everything: No. I think we basically agree, but I think the HTML renderer becoming part of windows instead of IE is a line in the sand Microsoft crossed. And then tying edge into certain Windows elements is the new line that was drawn and crossed. And now forced online accounts in windows 11...... I hate when Microsoft tries to be a crappier Apple. It's so much better when they're their own kind of evil rather then this "We wish we were apple" evil... At least then there's something of a choice to be made. -Sigh- I guess that's just how it has to be when Apple has the phone market on lockdown and Microsoft can't seem to figure out how to Make phones work for them even when they owned Nokia. I really hope steam desk is mega successful it'd be so good for linux, It could make linux a mainstream desktop option.... Where Firefox is pre-installed... Because the browser IS essential to a modern operating system.

In countries were unionization is strong, the union is not something that is an everyday aspect of the particular workplace, it is almost more like a government agency that is setting certain standards for employment of their members. Often employers think of it as a commentary on their performance as an employer, which it is not. I work in the movie industry, a HIGHLY unionized industry, and it just means that there are certain rules that union members must be paid and treated and there is a way for an employee to deal with issues that rise to a level that they don't feel comfortable to deal with on the production. As Linus mentioned, when talking about the EU regulations that are coming, union's collective bargaining benefits often spreads to the non-union workers because it is easier for the employer to deal with everyone the same. "A rising tide lifts all boats". For the employer, it is like employment regulations like minimum wage, just a part of doing business. A TRULY benevolent boss would have his employees join the respective national unions that align with their job titles and just start to conform to the collective bargaining agreements. This way, it wouldn't be the LTT employees forming an LTT employees union, it would be camera men/women join the National Camera Person Union or some such and the office workers joining the the Canadian Office Employees Union or some such. Union members, that work in a good environment, don't get snippety about "The Union Rules" just like they don't get snippety about the "Government Employment Rules" when they work in a good company. I doubt anyone at LTT are complaining about working an extra 20 minutes, if not a whole lot more, when needed, because Linus and Yvonne are great people to work for. It won't be any different if they are represented by unions. I also think that Linus should work a way to sell the company to the employees when he is looking for is inevitable exit. He gets paid for all his long hard work, and the employees get to move ahead reaping the benefits of their hard work and dedication and not having to worry about "the new owners". Anyway, my 2 cents, for what it is worth, which is about 2 cents, 1.5 cents Canadian.
I get where your coming from, but some Unions are awful and do little for the employees themselves, Except collect unions duties.
i get some are good and some are bad. But it's adding additional complexity to something that already work's in a manor deemed favorable by both employees and employer's.
It's fixing something that isnt broken, as for the buy out, no freaking idea, so i cant speak to that.
@@Dracossaint I guess my rebuttal is, you are an american. As an american you have been a victim of many decades of intentional anti-union propaganda. In countries where unions are pervasive, the public's opinion of them are quite high and they are quite effective. Secondly, a union is a collective. It is not a company or a government department. It is literally owned and operated by the members. If a union is, as you say, "awful and do little for the employees themselves", what you are describing is a bunch of people screwing themselves. There is little difference between a union thats member's don't care anything about and don't participate in keeping it responsive to the members needs and no union at all. Was the union(s) you've been a member of not been a good experience?
My Desk Mat and Water Bottle arrived in Australia today and i must say TOP quality, worth every cent and thanks for the free stickers.

I don't want Signal's security benefits to be compromised because the other user uses a chat app that can see their messages.
Well it certainly can be separated or that its required that these big companies must be able to decrypt the signal messages in some manner. Both shouldn't compromise signal to signal users. latter would be ideal, but former is the lazy approach to compliance
Guys thank you for all you do, and for being you. This show always makes me laugh so hard.
Interesting for someone to comment about greenwashing and then suggest you should commit to being "carbon neutral". Doesn't that just involve paying a company to plant trees then claiming you're eco friendly? Like... Greenwashing...? (Ok, slight oversimplification, but my point is still valid)
There's a reality that it's all greenwashing. If you don't like it, just don't buy it. You probably don't need it. Not buying the thing is the real eco friendly approach, rather than buying stuff that claims to be carbon neutral...
That said, LTT stuff is designed to be high quality, so it's already better than ordering something cheap and cheerful which will break or wear out sooner. That's the closest one can get to being green while owning stuff - only buy it once rather than again and again each time a thing breaks.
Don't get me wrong, I love anything that fights pollution and climate change, but I'm realistic. Marketing is marketing. Reality is reality.
So, where's that Google form about the web dev positions? Should I go check somewhere else?
people: only authoritarian regimes intervene the free market to this degree. so we are against these EU legislations.
also the same people: **doesn't give a shit when they are being slow cooked by increasingly monopoly-like giant commercial entities that dictate their social and economic activities**
The EU is not a regime, neither does it make laws

I will say ADB does allow you to remove any non essential preinstalled apps, but I admit that if you already have functionality in place to allow users to uninstall apps, and don't allow that functionality for certain apps that you can't reasonably demonstrate are essential to the OS (like facebook or gaming apps) then yes this law will help.

I dislike the take on unions. I think all workers should be unionized. The personal failure of the employer should be at the point when the union has to step in. If the employer is decent, having all workers unionized should make zero difference.
If youre a good employer the workers being unionised is good for you, it will disrupt competitors who arent good to their workers. Also good for the employees who get better job portability
Maybe in america but most developed countries have really good workers protection. A union in those countries would mean that the employer has failed to make the workplace meet basic requirements.
@@SpektrikMusic which countries do you refer to?
The EU isn’t a government body, it’s a trading block which have competition rules
absolutely love this legislation it seems like it will actually make the companies listen since there's a percentage income fine not a small fine :)) so great
I think the biggest instance of "device manufacturers not allowing 3rd party apps to access the full hardware of the device" is Apple and how they limit 3rd party apps ability to use the contactless hardware in the phone.
Tbh the backpack looks really good.
And I'm really interested. But damn am I afraid for the import fees 😂. Sometimes you gotta take a chance let's just hope it gets available and will be sold out in a mere minute or 10 😏
I'm into the backpack. I don't care when it's delivered or what the import taxes are gonna be (tbh, I'm lucky enough not to have to care)
So, Linus. Just put ~5000 up for preorder, with a disclaimer that you don't know when it will arrive. I'm cool with that - and I'm sure others are too.
(And please do make it an option to bundle it with the skrewdriver and maybe other accessories too)
@@JonLinde yeah the backpack is awesome. And I also don't care when it arrives. As long as I have the t&t code I'm fine with it. I am not always as unfortunate to have to care about import fees. But it's a Russian roulette with the customs here. Sometimes you're lucky other times you just help the government with their income 😂.
I agree with the 5k preorder with the disclaimer if all 5k are pre-ordered and paid it's a 1.25m cashflow to lmg so they can order another batch of backpacks.
A bundle would be sweet for 320 USD you have both hot items. I think both will arrive at the same time so it will safe lmg on shipping. But I understand Linus to. You're not sure when or if they arrive. Canada's customs can be annoying as fuck sometimes. So if those 10 containers are at the docks but customs is gonna take their sweet time to process them it will take ages for them to arrive at lmg.
But I agree I don't give a damn about a long waiting time. It's 3 weeks on his way anyways. Because dutch customs also take ages to go through freight. And that's in a more relaxed period 😅.
When it's busy it easily can take 5 weeks (3 of that are customs)
So glad you are putting so much work into the ratchet mechanism on screwdriver it drives me absolutely crazy when a ratchet mechanism changes will you're using it
As long as sections 11 and 13 of the meme ban and site regulations are up. I wont give the EU any praise. This is also attacking the tree while ignoring the roots of the problem, namely the government assisting these companies in pushing down the competation.
Memes are excluded from sections 11 and 13
There is literally no such thing as a Meme ban, why do you believe this to be true? They couldn't ban the concept or use of memes, that is like banning the use of yawning lol they can't manage to pull that off!
What the majority of people do not realise is that the most expensive part of manufacturing any item that is injection moulded,such as a screwdriver, is the mould itself purely because each Injection mould is BESPOKE and will probably never be used for anything else unless itcan be easily modified. Injection moulds can cost millions of dollars which is why it is imperative to ensure the end product is suitable for its intended purpose.
I don't really see much of a reason to be excited for new more powerful GPU's as far as gaming is concerned. Yeah Unreal Engine 5 is impressive and all but not many games are fully utilizing the power of even the current gen consoles. Not to mention most game companies are actively trying to make shorter less feature rich games anyway to cut down on time and increase profit margins. Until these companies focus on game quality over micro transactions I really don't see a "need" for a monster gaming pc.
(Yes there are plenty of professions where you need a high end GPU. I simply don't see gaming as something that needs that.)
A lot of the best games are indies anyway, and besides, the graphical fidelity is seeing such diminishing returns (especially while actually gaming and not just standing around zooming at things) that I'm not in any hurry to upgrade either (arguably downgraded with the Steam Deck).
That said, I'm always interested in new tech.
@@defeqel6537 I absolutely agree! Most of the games I'm playing for myself right now rather than online with friends are Indie titles.
The Steam Deck looks amazing! I actually am going to be signing up to order one here soon (sadly will take a long time I'm sure.) Replacing a 5 year old desktop and a 8 year old laptop with it. Both were mid range at the time of purchase.
