So I worked only 1 month at my local Amazon warehouse as an EMT in the little tiny medical office they had. In that 1 month I had supervisors bring employees ranging from small cuts to a heart attack and in every case they only wanted me to say the employee was good enough to send back to work. I had one guy who hit his head and had a gash that needed stitches. I told the 3 supervisors he needed to go to the hospital because he needed stitches and he had signs of concussion. They tried to argue with me but backed down though I didnt always win and they would convince(intimidate) the employee to return to their station. Then their was a heart attack with a female employee. For those who dont know women tend to not show signs of a heart attack the same way men do. In my county, local EMS protocol says that in the absence of advanced cardiac monitoring we are to treat sudden onsets of gastric distress in women as a cardiac event and call for ALS support. That combined with a rapid heart rate, pale ,and clammy, I was on the phone real quick. It turned into a heated conversation with not only my supervisor but multiple others that by me calling 911 I just made their lives harder with no care about the lady having a heart attack. Turns out she was indeed having an active heart attack. After that I quit and went back to being an ER tech.
My favorite thing is they don't talk to you when you get fired and there's not a structure of verbal warning, write up, termination. Everyone that I've spoken to who was fired just had their badge disabled and found out when they couldn't get back in the building after a break.
Which country is this in? I cant imagine stuff like this happening in europe but in america it seems very normal to me considering that people dont look at health issues the same way as they do in europe (at least in compareable countries like germany france and britain)
Amazon will run the numbers and come to the insane conclusion that it's more profitable to close warehouses and build a new one in a town they haven't burned through.
Now that they're densifying FCs they're running them more light on staff and production. I think they'll reach an equilibrium with people who do stay for multiple years and new people entering the workforce.
@@marcogenovesi8570 Malls don't have the proper dimensions. It needs to be tall and already a warehouse and in a better location. Take a look at how their FCs look outside and whatever you can find of inside.
@@marcogenovesi8570 Most of the time Amazon is getting a lease on a piece of land, and warehouse construction is not cheap, dunno if you've seen inside an Amazon but to build all the structure out for each floor and then the the builders for the Intelligrated conveyance system is not cheap. The place have HVAC and insulation, tons of concrete, tons of electrical to every cubic foot of building, etc. Amazon isn't interested in closing and leapfrogging to new areas, many FCs have a purpose, like R&D, main hubs for product, etc. They don't have a shortage of workers usually ever. But also, where malls are, they don't make a good warehouse location. It's too downtown with roads not ideal for lots of trucks and waves of employees for shift. It's too crowded and that's why all big warehouses are further out of town and built next to highways and rail.
Or just move to a different country. There are plenty of hungry people out there. However, in this case machine gun posts should be added to the construction.
Not only did he blur signage in the video... HE ACTIVELY STATED NOT TO HARASS THE PREVIOUS TENNANT. Like, sweet merciful christ, how dense are some of the community members that they not only are oblivious enough to the fact that it's a poor idea to begin with, but that the person you're trying to "defend" outwardly stated "DON'T DO THAT THING YOU'RE GOING TO TRY TO DO."
The way it was done was absurd and clearly linus need to make a harsh stop sign. with that said majority of people even him is not against the attention and the fact people reachout to the company at fault and making it clear that it is not alright. they even "promote" it when it comes to big companies that done something questionable. and the company in question probably only reacted and rechedout to linus because of the attention which is something he cant deny if it was any other case it would been solved off camera before he made that video.

It's tough when employers only want the cream of the crop. Another way to look at it is that the less-efficient workers go work for competitors, and thus AWS automatically has a competitive advantage created because of that.

I feel like lots of the people who are upset about the shaft probably don't work with tools every day for a living. If I'm going to spend $80 on a screwdriver, I expect it to last for many years. No coating will stand up to daily use over that long of a period.
I think 50% of people buying the screwdriver are buying it just to own a good quality piece of kit and 50% are buying it because they need to _use_ it. That would explain the split in opinions on the colour.
One of the hardiest screwdrivers (bit drive, the simple variant not the ratchet one) i've ever used is the Stanley yellow black handled one. First year of production, i'm still using it, still working just fine. I've levered a tank of a diesel motor with it, banged it, used it as a hammer, everything possible to abuse it (once the shine wore off). The shaft's beat to shit, dinged, scratched, the whole chrome is nearly wore off. If you use a tool, it's never going to look good. You can either "trailer queen" it or "drive it to the show". The only tools in my entire collection that look good are heirloom tools. I use those sparingly, i lovingly clean and put them away to rest on their own special shelves. Even those, have their dings. Tools are either used or not tools.
@@gregmegacrap that's actually factually incorrect there is a definite difference between scredriver brands craftsman screw drivers do not hold up like my vessel or wiha screwdrivers, in terms of once you get past a certain point then there is less of a difference but those screwdrivers are not cheap
Amazon having a 150 % turn over by year is crazy. I thought My work had high turn over at about 50%. I’ve lost count over the number of colleagues I’ve gotten to know that leave that I barely make an effort to know anyone anymore since they will be gone in half a year.
You made the Jellyfish Fryer, now make the Kaleidescape Killer! A tutorial for building out a plex server and talking about the hardware/software setup could be cool.
I worked at Amazon Fulfillment center for 6 months while at college to pay bills about 9 months ago, I quit when I brought stuff to their attention, and their takeaway and follow up was about me using pictures when bringing stuff up to their official channels and actually trying to make the company a better company
I just got tired of being required to work 6 11s while being on call for the 7th during Christmas/new year. Like the money was nice, but keeping my mental health is nicer.
Thats why you should try to record as much as possible and get it ready to send to the press, so if they try to pull their bullshit you simply say ok well you had your chance and hit send and lock your phone - the closest we have over the other side of the world is kmart,1 day I had enough made the useless idiot branch manager stand in a corner by the lockers while I scribbled out my notice then went home typed and sent a 3-4 page list of complaints + pics to the union and about 4 months of waiting while she was investigated and I a casual employee got a branch manager fired, funny thing was the whole nightshift got to watch a branch manager treated like a misbehaving child and be put in her place - number 1 rule is to never do such things in front of customers as it makes you look unprofessional and can reflect badly upon yourself
Back in the late 1970s, I worked for Cizek Audio. The company came out with an RMT series of speakers and amplifiers. When asked what RMT stood for, the late president of Cizek, Sheldon Finestein said it stood for "Rich Man's Toys". The Kalaidescape is an RMT.
I watch the WAN show Sunday mornings while sipping my morning coffee. Every time they said “shaft” I had a snickering fit. My wife is currently mad at me. If I can’t stay young, I can at least stay immature.

People on the internet arent smart. Jasco is understandable. Don't go after employees but go out there and spread the word. A personal business dealing Linus had and people go after employees at the company? Not once did I think "This is the time to track people down" People need to think more. Sad thing is Linus is going to share far less. If people kept their mouth shut and didn't do this Linus may have some leverage. Now? He sent his fans to attack our employees. People are literally a box of rocks...
its insulting for box of rocks everywhere they don't do nothing, meanwhile these chucklefcks just did something very stupid. like how the fck do they take the time to find these people to dox and have not thought "huh, this ain't right, I shouldn't be doing this"
Only way to stop it is to not talk about those things publically. Linus could avoid things like this by just not sharing them. Sadly, there are going to be nutcase on the internet and big personalities on RUclips need to be aware of it. I think Linus is, but he may find he will have to have more and more care as his audience grows.
I think its okay to talk about things publicly, but perhaps not directly name the companies involved, unless its something that is really bad - obvious scams, dangerous practices, abuse of employees etc.
@@Lendorien Agreed. He should have at least come at the situation in a more rational, thought out method and not a rant. Yes, we all get angry in the moment but we also know the internet is full of trolls.
@@todaysaveragegamer that’s what I was going to say. I haven’t actual watch the video in question, maybe it wasn’t all bad. But from his description it seemed like a rant at least they were self aware enough to try and blur stuff out, though that only seemed to slow the trolls down. To my mind either Linus still is getting used to the fact that he’s kind of a celebrity and his words have more of an impact then the average person, or the cynic in me says he knew exactly that this would happen and he’s saying all this to cover his butt legally. But… that later view of him willfully setting his supporters on the other guys is probably colored buy the ongoing political news in the US 😛
Good on the amazon thing, maybe this will be what finally forces them to improve their working conditions since the US government won't do anything about it
Worked at Amazon for a few months and we were timed PER TASK for the entire 10 hour shift. You had to do something every 14 seconds on average to hit your quota for the day. They had AI that used a super complex camera system to track your every movement. Every week you would get a spreadsheet with a list of stats based on how productive you were. they even knew what kind of car your drove. It was crazy. 😂 I got terminated over a typo in some paperwork despite the fact I was willing to come to work and actually enjoyed my job. They have zero tolerance for policy violations because everything is automated including almost every aspect of hiring, HR, and termination.
clearly you never worked for amazon xD there's no complex ai computer camera system tracking workers, and why would you need to do paperwork as part of a warehouse job? your job is to move packages/product around, not office work xD that there tells me you obviously never worked for or stepped foot into a warehouse in your life :P
Honestly, the saddest part of people harassing the previous owners, is that I'm not even surprised about it. It's just sad that we live in a world where you come to expect things like that to happen. No matter how great a community seems, there are always idiots that take things way too far...
I worked at an Amazon warehouse. The onboarding team didn’t do a good job of describing time tracking so I made a mistake. Then I got accused of time theft and was fired. They see you as expendable. I’m now a software engineer.
My nephews ages 11 and 13 once a month gather with me to watch RUclips videos. Sometimes to cut up sometimes to learn. Both are huge fans of yours and your crew not to mention your partner in life. When they saw the troubles that you're having as touring your new facility I stopped the video. I told him that's how business is. As a Chef I've always had to check everything in the kitchen before I rent the restaurant. Constantly having a check deliveries to make sure that I'm not being short-changed. That's why he's showing this to us. Business doesn't just happen I told them it's a lot of work. And then you showed them how far the building was from your prior building. That was your mistake. For youth and a certain age who like it or not look at you as heroes don't want to see you hurt. It's a beautiful thing actually. They both said to me at the same time as that happened then why is he showing us this? I said it's because they're showing you that even though they have adversity they will get through it and when no matter what just watch. Congrats and don't give up.
I worked for Amazon for 7 years. This is nothing new. I remember once a team promised my team they would work on a project for us "next year." Next year came around, we went to the other team to collect on the promise, and they said "Our entire team has turned over, nobody remembers that promise and we're not holding ourselves to it, sorry." This happens not just in the warehouses, it happens even in the white collar offices. See the 2014 article by the New York Times. To those who know Amazon well, nothing surprising. We all wondered how the company could stay afloat, and it felt like we were always operating on the edge of a knife.
I'm happily surprised by the fact that Taiwan was even remotely considered as an option for LTT relocation. Hope one day it would happen in some form. However, real estate market is pretty crazy here so the benefit of low living cost would get evened out, but I think Yvonne would make sure you know that when if you're really considering.
Same! Living in Taiwan for me for the past few years has been amazing and I can only imagine the insanity that would ensue if LTT was here. Maybe sometime in the future!
It wouldn't be shocking to me if they ended up making branches outside Canada at some point but I'm sure that is super long term and not what they are aiming for.
yea naw. especially after Ukraine was invaded. theres gunna be a war there in the next 20 years probably. even my Chinese American friends are like "yea Taiwans not a country the president is going to unite china before he dies."
Amazon has always succeeded by running the razor's edge of profitability while maximizing scale. I don't think they're culturally prepared to defend their ground not through aggressive pricing but through employee satisfaction. Either they learn, they fail, or they find another solution (e.g. robotics).
@@rickysargulesh1053 yes, and when short term profits dwindle you have to find ways to get the next short term profits. Which might involve improving working conditions or else more automation. Either of which means fewer people doing horrible jobs so both are good.
I suspect that at a certain point they're just going to flex their almighty Amazon muscles and force the companies they sell products for to standardize all packaging to a handful of sizes so they can fully automate the retrieval and routing of products, thus eliminating their reliance of human pickers.
I might work blue collar jobs, doing electrical and hvac work rn, I used to be a tech at a dealership but I have a degree in cyber security. This is probably my most watched channel, especially while I'm sitting around waiting for something to do
In your Lab 2 video there is a shot with a door that says "xyz employees only". I guess most people found out who the previous tenants were. Doesn't justify the viewer's action, but that probably made it easier for them

Amazon will just use robots and demand specific packing dimensions from manufacturers/vendors to fit the needs of the packing machines. Anyone else that doesn't comply will just pay an ass-ton more to have product stored and handled, or have them ship it themselves. The only humans will be in the returns department.
I have started learning programming and game development since highschool. And recently after lots of learning and personal projects, game jams and giving up on accountancy degree, I started on my first bigger(relatively) commercial project. It's a low budget game but I still get almost as much as my dad makes. Well it makes sense as I live in a third world country. I can get more by working more. But I can get away with 2-3 hours of work each day. Though need to work like 6-8 on high pressure times, which is like 2-3 days before bigger releases. Still pretty good for me. And I dig our writer's work. Programming is awesome.
Wow, Linus, thanks for another good WAN Show! Nice of you to go ahead and offer a batch of blackened-shank screwdrivers for those who REALLY WANT that look!
Linus, the headspace of the people doing the harassing is: "Finally, I have what I think is a legitimate reason to get in someone's face, be aggressive and rude, and cause trouble for them, while feeling good and justified about it!" In other words, they were looking for a fight, and you helped them find one. Some people just like fighting for any reason they can find. On a different note, $333k CAD for 2000sqft sounds pretty nice, considering commercial real-estate is expected to generate profit daily. I had to spend $360k USD for a 1900sqft townhouse.
Amazon pulling in people and setting up planned cities for employees and then paying them to purchase food and items from Amazon is exactly what was done during the Industrial Revolution. The mill cities such as Manchester, New Hampshire or Lawrence, Massachusetts were created by textile companies. These textile company owners, setup company housing for their employees who were paid a minimal low wage that was used to not only purchase food and other goods at company stores but also was used to pay rent back to the companies! The employees worked 6 days a week for nothing and worked more than 40 hours per week and way more than 8 hours per day. The companies also hired children as young as 8 years-old to work in the mills all to put their minimal wages back into the pockets of the mill owners. Having said that, given the current labor laws, which were created to enforce safe working conditions and such things as employee benefits and 40 hours work weeks, I don't envision this kind of thing happening again either, although the corporations have sure been trying really hard to erode these rights.
I actually just watched a two part PBS documentary called "The Guilded Age" (via the PBS streaming addon to Amazon Prime, a bit ironically I guess), and it covered exactly this topic. Andrew Carnegie and his Steel Mill, and the first unionization were of this time period in US. Late 1800s. And J.P. Morgan, etc. It's a fascinating watch, bit of history I was clueless on. Heh, if I'm being honest, it was me watching the new HBO Max drama of the same name that FIRST introduced me to the time period and topic. Then found the PBS doc.
That didn't just happen during the industrial revolution. That happened all the way until the FDR administration in the 1930s, when they finally overhauled labor laws to forbid most of the practices that made this possible. It was glorified slavery. You'd join in as an employee, they'd send you to a mining town in the middle of nowhere, provide no easy access out, and then pay you in funny money that could only be spent at company stores, leaving you without any actual US dollars. You'd be unable to leave or exchange your funny money for anything else, roping you into a cycle of working for this company while only earning enough to eat and pay for your ramshackle housing, with no ability to even save up real money. I'm sure Bezos would love to bring that back. The issue for amazon will be that it's illegal to pay people with store credit now, and all of their warehouses by necessity are in major population centers.
@@chrisl8292 Yup these people exploited labor, meaning the workers to the fullest. It took a major strike in Lawrence, MA to start the road towards better work conditions such as an actual minimum wage. Read up on the Bread and Roses Strike in 1912. Very interesting.
I feel for you Linus and honestly, you are breaking my heart with how much you care about your community and are still understanding of the bad actors.
Agree with Luke to some degree. There's a large amount of celebrities I have no idea about since I have never payed attention to that space or cared about that. I would never recognize Taylor Swift.
Both of them are correct tbh. There are tiers to it. Tier 1 is like transcending their own work popularity ala The Rock. Linus is probably at like Tier 3 or 4. Only people that follows tech stuff would know him.
Kaleidescape was all about ease of use. I don't know about now, but I know someone who has/had a system. Basically, if you are asking the price, you are not the target audience! If you are a tech person, with some time on your hands, this may not be for you. Kaleidescape is a centralized media server. It can serve out multiple streams to multiple TVs. Yes, Plex and other software can do that as well, but its main benefit how easy is makes getting content onto it and finding the content. You would put a DVD, or Blu-ray into the transfer device, it would go to its central server, get all the information about that disk and rip the whole disk locally. The program, with all its special features, in a kind of streaming service interface. You didn't have to worry about the various different menu systems of the DVDs, or Blu-rays, it gave you everything in a nice consistent interface. Part of the cost was access to these servers that your device downloads the information about the discs from, or download content you purchase. You stuck the disc in, it would appear in your library, you would remove the disc. As I understand it, it didn't re-encode the file, so there was no loss in quality when you ripped it. As mentioned, you could also buy really high quality movies directly from them. If you run out of storage, just buy another drive bay from them, plug it in, and everything works. It was also great for kids, or using ratings for showing content. If you set it to kids mode, it would only show movies made for kids. If you wanted a certain movie rating level, you set that and only the movies you own that match that content rating. I have a media device at home with a modified Kodi on it. It is useful, it is cheap, but it is a lot of work. Right now I transcode my discs, then put them on the device, I also use the same files for my tablet. I have to label everything so that Kodi can properly scrape it, and it can be a bit finicky about things. Usually special features have to be manually entered. Probably the most frustrating part of Kodi to me is the difficulty in registering the content in the system, and also the menu system isn't as slick. Part of this might be because of the older version, part of it my even be modifications the vendor made to the software. The Kaleidescape system was very slick. You put a disc in, come back later, take it out and put the next disc in still had a good amount of appeal to me. If you put the same disc in, it would inform you that disc was already in the system. If you had a DVD of the movie, then put in the Blu-ray, it would replace the DVD version with the Blu-ray, if no modifications were done for the Blu-ray. There were instances where the DVD and Blu-ray movies were the same, but the special features were different, so it used the Blu-ray movie and special features, but kept the special features not included on the Blu-ray from the DVD rip. For Star Wars and Blade Runner, it would keep the different versions which you could choose from when you clicked to watch that movie.
I'd take control over Oracle to squash their shady money grabbing practices. Their SQL database is so awesome, but I'd rather take a bullet than be their customer.
@@somephysicist That was what I thought of too. Not that I really care, but un-doing the Sun purchase would be high on my list. Along with having Compaq and 3dfx still around. But I know that not all companies survive forever. Things change. There is probably some other company that had a really great product but at the wrong time or the company was bought and the product disappeared.
If you have a water cooling loop where the highest point is 5ft above the pump (1:14:00) it makes no difference to flow rate or the pump you need. The head pressure needed to pump the water to the top is counterbalanced by the weight of the fluid on the pump inlet from the 'downhill' side of the loop. Head pressure only matters if pumping from a low point to a high point with no return side. If you made a large loop flat on the ground and then lifted it so it was vertical the flow rate will stay the same.
Both kind of high pitched. Only real similarity to my ears. Ben waaaaay more nasaly. And a very... Not great speaking pattern. Regardless, on mobile. I could see it. Embarrassing 🤭
As a professional tool-user: I would rather the silver shaft that doesn't rapidly deteriorate with frequent use. Would also prefer a more brightly colored handle for visibility. Dark colored tools are easily misplaced-often in problematic or inconvenient locations. Bright colored tools are easily spotted before getting left behind or run over.

I sought out new friends, back in year 7. I essentially dumped my whole friends group because basically over night all they were interested in was smoking and ditching school. neither things I was remotely interested in. I just sort of started hanging out with a couple of guys in my year and nearly 20 years later, we are still great friends.
On the screwdriver shaft, why not just use the chrome molybdenum steel used in impact tools? They do not chip. I've had sockets stay black for years of abuse
Honestly as an ex Amazon worker is amazes me how they would rather pay more to increase efficiency and decrease worker happiness than actually make it a good work place. They will pay workers to crack a metaphorical whip, track every single second you are working and then wonder why no one wants to work there.
i mean with a high turn over rate comes with a lot of new employees, so some people definitely want to work there, and i understand that most of these people are in not great financial situations and this is the best they can get, but even with that there is a limit to what people are willing to do no matter how desperate they are. I think they will still run out of employees before any sort of meaningful revolt happens, but i think the latter will eventually happen. Also, idk what its like in america, but here in australia there is a massive worker shortage, especially for the low skill jobs, at places that pay waay better than amazon.
If it's a loop the 5ft of difference won't play a role. The head pressure of the pump just tells you how high up a hose it can push the water, if it's pumping from a reservoir at the bottom. As soon as you make it a loop back to said reservoir, you're only battling the line (fluid friction) losses. The orientation doesn't matter much.
Glad your crystal ball told you the same as mine. Expecting my new Antec 1000W HCG1000 Extreme today. I think that might have been made by Seasonic too. Figure get it now to be prepared for the future.
If you think property prices are high in Canada wait till you see how much property prices have exploded in the UK. My first house was £55 grand in 2000. Similar properties are for sale today for £240 grand ! That’s in 22 years, I would still be paying my 25 year mortgage on it now. The bigger the house the more extreme the inflation. Literally nobody with an average salary can buy a house anymore. Feel blessed that I managed to jump in whilst I could.
Golden handcuffs is a real thing. Was hard for me to convince myself to leave my old job 4 years ago. I regret absolutely nothing about leaving. I'm much happier, I work less and I actually like going to work now.
So the key advantage to a kaleidoscape system is the UI. It just has a very streamlined user interface that brings thousands of movies to your fingertips like streaming but because you download them and play them locally it gives you better quality with less compression. I.e. you don’t have to spend time buying Blue-rays and ripping them to store on your Plex server you can just pick a movie and it and watch it. I believe it also downloads the movies in parts in sequential order so you can actually start watching it before the entire download finishes giving you a popcorn time like experience where you’re kind of streaming it but not and at the end you just have the whole movie.
Hey linus, you may need to check your assumptions. First of all, as a machinist Stainless steel is not the most durable metal for a lot of things it is simply the best at corrosion resistance. Unless you are using 17-4ph or some other exotic stainless you'd be far better served by going with a spring steel like 5160 or 6150. On that note as far as a black coating, Use salt nitride bath. It is not a coating and it is a physical alternation of the material. They use it on Gun barrels and other things that are extremely high wear as it makes the surface extremely hard. Nitride coating is also extremely corrosion resistant hence why they use it on gun components. You would be much better served and probably cheaper by going with a stronger springier alloy of steel that is shock absorbent and then nitride coating it. This would give you the greatest durability while also making the shaft black. I really hope this helps this is not necessarily criticism but just informing you of all the options. cheers
Re: Your fans taking it upon themselves to harass the previous tenants. This kind of thing happens all the time, to anyone with a fanbase; RUclipsrs, celebrities (LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!). It recently happened with Lindybeige when he made a video about a suit of armor he commissioned not being made according to what he and the blacksmith (allegedly) agreed to. Despite he, like you, deliberately withholding the identity of the third party, his fans went out of their way to dig it up and harass the guy anyway. You have literally millions of fans. No matter what you say today, it's not going to stop the fanatical few from taking up arms on your behalf when something like this happens again 6 months from now. The only thing you could do is deny them a cause to fight for by never complaining about anything.

There is a really good reason why Stainless Steel behaves the way it does. It's NOT A COATING or any deposition. The Chrome is part of the steel alloy and thus is in the entire steel. when the chrome is exposed to oxygen in the air (i.e. it is on the surface) it turns silver and becomes chromium dioxide which is a rust preventative exterior barrier. If a stainless object has its surface scratched it exposes more chrome and almost instantly forms a new protective barrier. All the other types of protection are surface coatings of some sort or involve some deposition of something. Some of the processes have a really good bond (like bluing and nitride treatments of metal parts) due to the nature of the coating process, but they still do not permeate the entire metal part.
Not that i really care what color the screwdriver is, but ive had cerocoated rifles that have taken some serious beatings over a 10 year period and they have never once chipped. Same with the ones that are just Blued(black oxide) never had there color chip at all. It may not be cost effective for a screwdriver but, it can certainly be done.
@@DanKaschel knurled* and its only part of the shaft that is. Its really not difficult, i work in a machine shop making medical equipment. We Blu knurled parts all the time with no issue. Every metal part on a rifle is blued not just the barrel. Feel free to look up black oxide coating, it doesnt chip, the only way to remove it is chemically, and its super thin down to 10 millionths of an inch. Its the standard way of turning steel black, the fact they didnt even consider it is odd.
this is random but here’s a suggestion for LTX, they should have make it like a comic con where the staff members have their own panels like a channel super fun panel with dennis, a graphic design panel with sarah. then have photo op and autograph sessions with the staff members
I work at Amazon I can confirm it's ridiculous. Personally about 15% of new hires make it through first week at my facility. I'm also working for the worst rated delivery station in North America!
Don't forget the Amazon Robot bear maced warehouses twice. I think the robots are trying to push the people out. Also I'm a steam fitter, and I have been watching for year, so yes some construction people know who Linus is.
55:28 I work as a controller at an amazon competitor in germany( but a large part of our revenue comes from Amazon-Customers) and when I first started at this company I thought that the cost of air-shipments I saw were insane and had to be a mistake, but after talking to a colleague I realized that transport by air is just THAT expensive. It really is crazy and we avoid it a much as possible.
I personally think the reason cards are in stock is a double edged sword. Lots in stock, because even though they're at MSRP, a lot of people like myself can't afford it due to inflation affecting literally every other market. Groceries, rent, gas has just made luxuries unobtainable.
If the tiles were either on a wall or removed from a wall and new tiles are then somewhere else, you've been provided with new tiles. RE-placed, means they were placed again, meaning they are on the same place the previous tiles were, so if removed from a wall, they need to be RE-applied to that same wall to be RE-placed.

Even with Amazon Japan, the warehouse employees (both full-time and part-timers) are protesting about the working conditions and salaries, the delivery drivers are also protesting about the huge amount of packages they need to deliver, making them work super overtime. I don't know about the US, but here in Tokyo area, hourly wage at Amazon is about $10 (USD) which is about the same as at most fast food places like Mc Donalds.
The state of labor rights in America is bad enough that we could easily get close to the labor towns of the early 20th century in the coming decades if we don't start getting our labor rights back instead of losing them at a constant rate.
Germany will have supply chain ethics legislation in January that will make companies liable for some international abuses. Not saying Americans outside of illegal agriculture or prison labor will gain benefits but it's likely making supply chains transparent and will enabling to advance workers rights.
By the way, I was surprised when I heard you say you blurred out signage from the tour video because I remembered seeing the name of the previous tenant somewhere in the video. Turns out, on floatplane, it is actually not blurred out at the end, on youtube it is. I doubt the (majority of) people on floatplane would do something like that, but..... just takes one person to spread the name around.... Idk how the floatplane infrastructure works, but maybe you could re-upload a blurred version or replace the file or sth? Just to be safe they won't get any further harrassment...
150% turnover is fairly normal in entry level jobs, especially physically active ones. Restaurants are commonly over 100% turnover, mainly from it commonly being a first job and also being pretty difficult. So I wouldn’t be surprised if the warehouse jobs had 150% turnover. Now, if the company as a whole has 150% turnover, that’s bad.
"The funny part is when they say, 'oh by the way, this is what I was making at a FAANG and I want you to match it.' You want to work less than half as many hours and get the same pay?" Assuming this is a salaried Amazon worker applying for a salaried LMG position, this negotiation based on some presumed hourly rate is unethical. Long hours is a result of bad company culture. High pay is a result of huge profit margins on software products (AWS). These two effects are only loosely correlated: startups have low pay AND long hours, government work has low pay AND low hours... Amazon is the only FAANG with a consistent reputation for bad work-life balance. If you want top talent, you need to pay for top talent, end of story. The self-righteous attitude from LMG expecting "world-class", committed employees for average pay needs to stop.
One of the reasons Amazon turnover is so high is that a lot of the people coming think Amazon is this like robotic warehouse and it will be easy, but really most of the starter positions are pretty physical and people bail out after the first day, because they don't want to work.
This really must be just american thing, because even tho I left , Amazon work was really enjoyable and paid well WELL above average, Amazon is literally one of the best paying jobs here in Slovakia, its kind of crazy I got paid so much money for doing almost nothing. If I didnt live so far, Id work there till the end of my life lol, getting paid for playing video games and once a week changing someones computer mouse for a new one? sign me up lol, there really appears to be a giant difference between american amazon and european amazon, even people that worked near a conveyor belt talk to each other frequently and just chill out, sometimes i see people spending 90% of their time talking to each other because they can and no one tells them not to, the only rule during covid was that you have to mantain distance so you dont spread it, but people still talked to each other and just hung out
Completely understand the pricing point, however silly it was. A PowerMac 6100/60 (60MHz), 32MB RAM, 13” CRT, scanner (with Photoshop free), budget laser printer and PageMaker was around $10K Australian in the early 90s.
24:30 Hey, remember that time Luke did a whole video on how you only need a 400W power supply? Sure, that was like six or seven years ago but at the time I had just bought a Seasonic Snow Silent 1050W 80 Plus Platinum PSU. You know what I'm using right now? After multiple computer upgrades? After driving dual and triple GPUs? That's right, that same exact PSU. I think you know where I'm going with this... I'm just saying that Luke is still doing video card performance tests by looking at the skybox in Skyrim.
And for every person like you that bought a 1050W there are 10 people that bought a 450W and are still using it after several computer upgrades. You anecdotal evidence doesn't change that.

The engineering side of Amazon has a mandatory rate of attrition. Managers that don't fire enough employees get fired themselves. It results in about 10% of developers being put on PIP plans every year, and the PIP plans are intentionally difficult to fulfill. If you quit at any time in this process you're put on the don't rehire list. It has resulted in Amazon intentionally hiring lots of less qualified developers, just so that managers can avoid canning their most productive workers. Even worse, if you're put on a PIP, you aren't allowed to switch teams, which at face-value seems relatively normal. But it has been used by managers to prevent their best developers from moving to other teams.
sounds like classic company your a not doing your job right, similar example in game dev when they make sequel, nobody value the fact of knowing when not to change smth because its perfect, they are always made to change stuff, looking at you ea
They already have that 'imported worker program' at Amazon. They bring workers in, keep them in RV parks/camps. That already occurs. Some get RVs and live right outside the warehouses but many just stay at the camps and take a bus there.
12:06 Regarding shipping people from other areas: So I am from Europe and just received an email from Amazon Canada offering a role in Vancouver with relocation package and everything. It's a software developer role, which may have different turnover, but still... I think I will politely decline 😅
what kind of experience do you have to be headhunted like that? I'm finishing a degree soon and want to look into software development, but my degree isn't computer science so idk where i can even start a career in that field
You should do a whole video on the price history of various components and looking at the current economics (supply, demand, etc) to make some predictions about what they might do in the future.

So I worked only 1 month at my local Amazon warehouse as an EMT in the little tiny medical office they had. In that 1 month I had supervisors bring employees ranging from small cuts to a heart attack and in every case they only wanted me to say the employee was good enough to send back to work. I had one guy who hit his head and had a gash that needed stitches. I told the 3 supervisors he needed to go to the hospital because he needed stitches and he had signs of concussion. They tried to argue with me but backed down though I didnt always win and they would convince(intimidate) the employee to return to their station. Then their was a heart attack with a female employee. For those who dont know women tend to not show signs of a heart attack the same way men do. In my county, local EMS protocol says that in the absence of advanced cardiac monitoring we are to treat sudden onsets of gastric distress in women as a cardiac event and call for ALS support. That combined with a rapid heart rate, pale ,and clammy, I was on the phone real quick. It turned into a heated conversation with not only my supervisor but multiple others that by me calling 911 I just made their lives harder with no care about the lady having a heart attack. Turns out she was indeed having an active heart attack. After that I quit and went back to being an ER tech.
Thank you for reaffirming that I never want to work for amazoom in any way
I think you may have convinced me to cancel my prime subscription.
My favorite thing is they don't talk to you when you get fired and there's not a structure of verbal warning, write up, termination. Everyone that I've spoken to who was fired just had their badge disabled and found out when they couldn't get back in the building after a break.
Which country is this in? I cant imagine stuff like this happening in europe but in america it seems very normal to me considering that people dont look at health issues the same way as they do in europe (at least in compareable countries like germany france and britain)

Amazon will run the numbers and come to the insane conclusion that it's more profitable to close warehouses and build a new one in a town they haven't burned through.
This is so sadly true that it's mental!
Now that they're densifying FCs they're running them more light on staff and production. I think they'll reach an equilibrium with people who do stay for multiple years and new people entering the workforce.
@@marcogenovesi8570 Malls don't have the proper dimensions. It needs to be tall and already a warehouse and in a better location. Take a look at how their FCs look outside and whatever you can find of inside.
@@marcogenovesi8570 Most of the time Amazon is getting a lease on a piece of land, and warehouse construction is not cheap, dunno if you've seen inside an Amazon but to build all the structure out for each floor and then the the builders for the Intelligrated conveyance system is not cheap. The place have HVAC and insulation, tons of concrete, tons of electrical to every cubic foot of building, etc. Amazon isn't interested in closing and leapfrogging to new areas, many FCs have a purpose, like R&D, main hubs for product, etc. They don't have a shortage of workers usually ever.
But also, where malls are, they don't make a good warehouse location. It's too downtown with roads not ideal for lots of trucks and waves of employees for shift. It's too crowded and that's why all big warehouses are further out of town and built next to highways and rail.
Or just move to a different country. There are plenty of hungry people out there.
However, in this case machine gun posts should be added to the construction.
Not only did he blur signage in the video... HE ACTIVELY STATED NOT TO HARASS THE PREVIOUS TENNANT.

Not to mention open up Linus and his company to lawsuits.
The way it was done was absurd and clearly linus need to make a harsh stop sign.
with that said majority of people even him is not against the attention and the fact people reachout to the company at fault and making it clear that it is not alright.
they even "promote" it when it comes to big companies that done something questionable.
and the company in question probably only reacted and rechedout to linus because of the attention which is something he cant deny if it was any other case it would been solved off camera before he made that video.

A friend of mine interned at AWS and at the end of the 12 weeks he had been there longer than 25% of the 1.2M current employees.
that's what warehouse is like. 3 months into my employment and all 50-75 people from my training class had quit except me.
The oldfart tool is fun
It's tough when employers only want the cream of the crop. Another way to look at it is that the less-efficient workers go work for competitors, and thus AWS automatically has a competitive advantage created because of that.
@@animejanai4657 I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that this is not a competitive advantage for Amazon.

Take the win with the ceiling tiles - if you are going to be installing "Stuff" use the good sections of stained tiles and cut them down as required, and then you have nice clean spare tiles 🙂
I feel like lots of the people who are upset about the shaft probably don't work with tools every day for a living. If I'm going to spend $80 on a screwdriver, I expect it to last for many years. No coating will stand up to daily use over that long of a period.
I think 50% of people buying the screwdriver are buying it just to own a good quality piece of kit and 50% are buying it because they need to _use_ it. That would explain the split in opinions on the colour.
I completely agree
One of the hardiest screwdrivers (bit drive, the simple variant not the ratchet one) i've ever used is the Stanley yellow black handled one. First year of production, i'm still using it, still working just fine. I've levered a tank of a diesel motor with it, banged it, used it as a hammer, everything possible to abuse it (once the shine wore off). The shaft's beat to shit, dinged, scratched, the whole chrome is nearly wore off.
If you use a tool, it's never going to look good. You can either "trailer queen" it or "drive it to the show".
The only tools in my entire collection that look good are heirloom tools. I use those sparingly, i lovingly clean and put them away to rest on their own special shelves. Even those, have their dings.
Tools are either used or not tools.
A screwdriver is a screwdriver! There’s no diference between a company or another. Only if the material is bad, but you can leverage from prices.
@@gregmegacrap that's actually factually incorrect there is a definite difference between scredriver brands craftsman screw drivers do not hold up like my vessel or wiha screwdrivers, in terms of once you get past a certain point then there is less of a difference but those screwdrivers are not cheap
Amazon having a 150 % turn over by year is crazy. I thought My work had high turn over at about 50%. I’ve lost count over the number of colleagues I’ve gotten to know that leave that I barely make an effort to know anyone anymore since they will be gone in half a year.

People on the internet arent smart. Jasco is understandable. Don't go after employees but go out there and spread the word. A personal business dealing Linus had and people go after employees at the company? Not once did I think "This is the time to track people down" People need to think more. Sad thing is Linus is going to share far less. If people kept their mouth shut and didn't do this Linus may have some leverage. Now? He sent his fans to attack our employees. People are literally a box of rocks...
its insulting for box of rocks everywhere they don't do nothing, meanwhile these chucklefcks just did something very stupid. like how the fck do they take the time to find these people to dox and have not thought "huh, this ain't right, I shouldn't be doing this"
Only way to stop it is to not talk about those things publically. Linus could avoid things like this by just not sharing them. Sadly, there are going to be nutcase on the internet and big personalities on RUclips need to be aware of it. I think Linus is, but he may find he will have to have more and more care as his audience grows.
I think its okay to talk about things publicly, but perhaps not directly name the companies involved, unless its something that is really bad - obvious scams, dangerous practices, abuse of employees etc.
@@Lendorien Agreed. He should have at least come at the situation in a more rational, thought out method and not a rant. Yes, we all get angry in the moment but we also know the internet is full of trolls.
@@todaysaveragegamer that’s what I was going to say. I haven’t actual watch the video in question, maybe it wasn’t all bad. But from his description it seemed like a rant at least they were self aware enough to try and blur stuff out, though that only seemed to slow the trolls down. To my mind either Linus still is getting used to the fact that he’s kind of a celebrity and his words have more of an impact then the average person, or the cynic in me says he knew exactly that this would happen and he’s saying all this to cover his butt legally. But… that later view of him willfully setting his supporters on the other guys is probably colored buy the ongoing political news in the US 😛
Good on the amazon thing, maybe this will be what finally forces them to improve their working conditions since the US government won't do anything about it
Worked at Amazon for a few months and we were timed PER TASK for the entire 10 hour shift. You had to do something every 14 seconds on average to hit your quota for the day. They had AI that used a super complex camera system to track your every movement. Every week you would get a spreadsheet with a list of stats based on how productive you were. they even knew what kind of car your drove. It was crazy. 😂 I got terminated over a typo in some paperwork despite the fact I was willing to come to work and actually enjoyed my job. They have zero tolerance for policy violations because everything is automated including almost every aspect of hiring, HR, and termination.
clearly you never worked for amazon xD there's no complex ai computer camera system tracking workers, and why would you need to do paperwork as part of a warehouse job? your job is to move packages/product around, not office work xD that there tells me you obviously never worked for or stepped foot into a warehouse in your life :P

My nephews ages 11 and 13 once a month gather with me to watch RUclips videos. Sometimes to cut up sometimes to learn. Both are huge fans of yours and your crew not to mention your partner in life. When they saw the troubles that you're having as touring your new facility I stopped the video. I told him that's how business is. As a Chef I've always had to check everything in the kitchen before I rent the restaurant. Constantly having a check deliveries to make sure that I'm not being short-changed. That's why he's showing this to us. Business doesn't just happen I told them it's a lot of work. And then you showed them how far the building was from your prior building. That was your mistake. For youth and a certain age who like it or not look at you as heroes don't want to see you hurt. It's a beautiful thing actually. They both said to me at the same time as that happened then why is he showing us this? I said it's because they're showing you that even though they have adversity they will get through it and when no matter what just watch. Congrats and don't give up.
I worked for Amazon for 7 years. This is nothing new. I remember once a team promised my team they would work on a project for us "next year." Next year came around, we went to the other team to collect on the promise, and they said "Our entire team has turned over, nobody remembers that promise and we're not holding ourselves to it, sorry." This happens not just in the warehouses, it happens even in the white collar offices. See the 2014 article by the New York Times. To those who know Amazon well, nothing surprising. We all wondered how the company could stay afloat, and it felt like we were always operating on the edge of a knife.
The old saying is as true as ever: "If you want something done right, do it yourself."
I'm happily surprised by the fact that Taiwan was even remotely considered as an option for LTT relocation. Hope one day it would happen in some form.

You know Amazon could seriously consider making their workplaces less horrible. So that they dont run out of workers. Or you know not.
Amazon has always succeeded by running the razor's edge of profitability while maximizing scale. I don't think they're culturally prepared to defend their ground not through aggressive pricing but through employee satisfaction.
Either they learn, they fail, or they find another solution (e.g. robotics).
@@rickysargulesh1053 yes, and when short term profits dwindle you have to find ways to get the next short term profits. Which might involve improving working conditions or else more automation. Either of which means fewer people doing horrible jobs so both are good.
@Vincenzo Covino the whole premise is that there aren't enough. Which means working conditions will improve. There's no alternative. It's good news.
I still remember when Jeff Bezos made a tweet where he was asking for suggestions where he should donate money to do good.... just my kind of humour.
I suspect that at a certain point they're just going to flex their almighty Amazon muscles and force the companies they sell products for to standardize all packaging to a handful of sizes so they can fully automate the retrieval and routing of products, thus eliminating their reliance of human pickers.

Glad you mentioned the Nickle on the screwdriver. Nickle allergy is really common in people 35+ and it's a contact issue. Prolonged exposure creates nasty skin irritations.

Amazon will just use robots and demand specific packing dimensions from manufacturers/vendors to fit the needs of the packing machines. Anyone else that doesn't comply will just pay an ass-ton more to have product stored and handled, or have them ship it themselves. The only humans will be in the returns department.
I'm an Oil & Gas IT contractor! Specifically a DevOps engineer, but it wouldn't matter what industry I was in, I would still watch LTT.
Howd you get into DevOps? I've always been interested but I don't have much software engineering/programming experience.
I have started learning programming and game development since highschool. And recently after lots of learning and personal projects, game jams and giving up on accountancy degree, I started on my first bigger(relatively) commercial project. It's a low budget game but I still get almost as much as my dad makes. Well it makes sense as I live in a third world country. I can get more by working more. But I can get away with 2-3 hours of work each day. Though need to work like 6-8 on high pressure times, which is like 2-3 days before bigger releases. Still pretty good for me. And I dig our writer's work.
Programming is awesome.

Wow, Linus, thanks for another good WAN Show! Nice of you to go ahead and offer a batch of blackened-shank screwdrivers for those who REALLY WANT that look!
I wish this was a more than weekly show.
Awwww, WAN Show intro issues? Makes me all warm with nostalgia.
Linus, the headspace of the people doing the harassing is: "Finally, I have what I think is a legitimate reason to get in someone's face, be aggressive and rude, and cause trouble for them, while feeling good and justified about it!" In other words, they were looking for a fight, and you helped them find one. Some people just like fighting for any reason they can find.
On a different note, $333k CAD for 2000sqft sounds pretty nice, considering commercial real-estate is expected to generate profit daily. I had to spend $360k USD for a 1900sqft townhouse.
Amazon pulling in people and setting up planned cities for employees and then paying them to purchase food and items from Amazon is exactly what was done during the Industrial Revolution. The mill cities such as Manchester, New Hampshire or Lawrence, Massachusetts were created by textile companies. These textile company owners, setup company housing for their employees who were paid a minimal low wage that was used to not only purchase food and other goods at company stores but also was used to pay rent back to the companies!
The employees worked 6 days a week for nothing and worked more than 40 hours per week and way more than 8 hours per day. The companies also hired children as young as 8 years-old to work in the mills all to put their minimal wages back into the pockets of the mill owners.
Having said that, given the current labor laws, which were created to enforce safe working conditions and such things as employee benefits and 40 hours work weeks, I don't envision this kind of thing happening again either, although the corporations have sure been trying really hard to erode these rights.
One thing I learned is that people don't learn from the past because it was just done wrong back then, we are smarter now.
I actually just watched a two part PBS documentary called "The Guilded Age" (via the PBS streaming addon to Amazon Prime, a bit ironically I guess), and it covered exactly this topic. Andrew Carnegie and his Steel Mill, and the first unionization were of this time period in US. Late 1800s. And J.P. Morgan, etc.
It's a fascinating watch, bit of history I was clueless on.
Heh, if I'm being honest, it was me watching the new HBO Max drama of the same name that FIRST introduced me to the time period and topic. Then found the PBS doc.
Kohler, WI, too
That didn't just happen during the industrial revolution. That happened all the way until the FDR administration in the 1930s, when they finally overhauled labor laws to forbid most of the practices that made this possible. It was glorified slavery. You'd join in as an employee, they'd send you to a mining town in the middle of nowhere, provide no easy access out, and then pay you in funny money that could only be spent at company stores, leaving you without any actual US dollars. You'd be unable to leave or exchange your funny money for anything else, roping you into a cycle of working for this company while only earning enough to eat and pay for your ramshackle housing, with no ability to even save up real money.
I'm sure Bezos would love to bring that back. The issue for amazon will be that it's illegal to pay people with store credit now, and all of their warehouses by necessity are in major population centers.
@@chrisl8292 Yup these people exploited labor, meaning the workers to the fullest. It took a major strike in Lawrence, MA to start the road towards better work conditions such as an actual minimum wage. Read up on the Bread and Roses Strike in 1912. Very interesting.
I feel for you Linus and honestly, you are breaking my heart with how much you care about your community and are still understanding of the bad actors.
Agree with Luke to some degree. There's a large amount of celebrities I have no idea about since I have never payed attention to that space or cared about that. I would never recognize Taylor Swift.
Both of them are correct tbh. There are tiers to it. Tier 1 is like transcending their own work popularity ala The Rock. Linus is probably at like Tier 3 or 4. Only people that follows tech stuff would know him.
Kaleidescape was all about ease of use.
I don't know about now, but I know someone who has/had a system.
Basically, if you are asking the price, you are not the target audience!
If you are a tech person, with some time on your hands, this may not be for you.
Kaleidescape is a centralized media server. It can serve out multiple streams to multiple TVs.
Yes, Plex and other software can do that as well, but its main benefit how easy is makes getting content onto it and finding the content.
You would put a DVD, or Blu-ray into the transfer device, it would go to its central server, get all the information about that disk and rip the whole disk locally. The program, with all its special features, in a kind of streaming service interface. You didn't have to worry about the various different menu systems of the DVDs, or Blu-rays, it gave you everything in a nice consistent interface. Part of the cost was access to these servers that your device downloads the information about the discs from, or download content you purchase. You stuck the disc in, it would appear in your library, you would remove the disc. As I understand it, it didn't re-encode the file, so there was no loss in quality when you ripped it.
As mentioned, you could also buy really high quality movies directly from them.
If you run out of storage, just buy another drive bay from them, plug it in, and everything works.
It was also great for kids, or using ratings for showing content. If you set it to kids mode, it would only show movies made for kids. If you wanted a certain movie rating level, you set that and only the movies you own that match that content rating.
I have a media device at home with a modified Kodi on it. It is useful, it is cheap, but it is a lot of work. Right now I transcode my discs, then put them on the device, I also use the same files for my tablet. I have to label everything so that Kodi can properly scrape it, and it can be a bit finicky about things. Usually special features have to be manually entered. Probably the most frustrating part of Kodi to me is the difficulty in registering the content in the system, and also the menu system isn't as slick. Part of this might be because of the older version, part of it my even be modifications the vendor made to the software.
The Kaleidescape system was very slick. You put a disc in, come back later, take it out and put the next disc in still had a good amount of appeal to me. If you put the same disc in, it would inform you that disc was already in the system. If you had a DVD of the movie, then put in the Blu-ray, it would replace the DVD version with the Blu-ray, if no modifications were done for the Blu-ray.
There were instances where the DVD and Blu-ray movies were the same, but the special features were different, so it used the Blu-ray movie and special features, but kept the special features not included on the Blu-ray from the DVD rip. For Star Wars and Blade Runner, it would keep the different versions which you could choose from when you clicked to watch that movie.
I'd take control over Oracle to squash their shady money grabbing practices.
Their SQL database is so awesome, but I'd rather take a bullet than be their customer.
They run my free minecraft server alright though
I think we can all agree that Oracle is the worst and their purchase of Sun Microsystems (owners of both Java and MySQL) was very bad for everyone
@@somephysicist That was what I thought of too. Not that I really care, but un-doing the Sun purchase would be high on my list. Along with having Compaq and 3dfx still around.
But I know that not all companies survive forever. Things change. There is probably some other company that had a really great product but at the wrong time or the company was bought and the product disappeared.
If you have a water cooling loop where the highest point is 5ft above the pump (1:14:00) it makes no difference to flow rate or the pump you need. The head pressure needed to pump the water to the top is counterbalanced by the weight of the fluid on the pump inlet from the 'downhill' side of the loop. Head pressure only matters if pumping from a low point to a high point with no return side.
If you made a large loop flat on the ground and then lifted it so it was vertical the flow rate will stay the same.

As a professional tool-user: I would rather the silver shaft that doesn't rapidly deteriorate with frequent use. Would also prefer a more brightly colored handle for visibility. Dark colored tools are easily misplaced-often in problematic or inconvenient locations. Bright colored tools are easily spotted before getting left behind or run over.
The same thing I said last week. I'll be getting the orange accented one and prefer the silver shaft.
Can you expand on this story of you running over your tools

I just sort of started hanging out with a couple of guys in my year and nearly 20 years later, we are still great friends.
On the screwdriver shaft, why not just use the chrome molybdenum steel used in impact tools?
They do not chip. I've had sockets stay black for years of abuse

Amazon has high turnover as well because of summer jobs for kids out of school. FedEx, and UPS has the same turnover during holidays and summer break.
Honestly as an ex Amazon worker is amazes me how they would rather pay more to increase efficiency and decrease worker happiness than actually make it a good work place. They will pay workers to crack a metaphorical whip, track every single second you are working and then wonder why no one wants to work there.
i mean with a high turn over rate comes with a lot of new employees, so some people definitely want to work there, and i understand that most of these people are in not great financial situations and this is the best they can get, but even with that there is a limit to what people are willing to do no matter how desperate they are. I think they will still run out of employees before any sort of meaningful revolt happens, but i think the latter will eventually happen.
Also, idk what its like in america, but here in australia there is a massive worker shortage, especially for the low skill jobs, at places that pay waay better than amazon.
If it's a loop the 5ft of difference won't play a role. The head pressure of the pump just tells you how high up a hose it can push the water, if it's pumping from a reservoir at the bottom. As soon as you make it a loop back to said reservoir, you're only battling the line (fluid friction) losses. The orientation doesn't matter much.
Glad your crystal ball told you the same as mine. Expecting my new Antec 1000W HCG1000 Extreme today. I think that might have been made by Seasonic too. Figure get it now to be prepared for the future.

Diablo Immortal isn't a game with monetary transactions in it. It's monetary transactions with a game in it.
But the percentage the game takes is tiny when compared to the monetary transactions multi-platform.
I completely refuse to play any game where it's constant pay to play. As a result I don't really play games anymore which is actually a good thing.
It's casino psychology and micro transactions wearing a trench coat pretending to be a game.
If you think property prices are high in Canada wait till you see how much property prices have exploded in the UK. My first house was £55 grand in 2000. Similar properties are for sale today for £240 grand ! That’s in 22 years, I would still be paying my 25 year mortgage on it now. The bigger the house the more extreme the inflation. Literally nobody with an average salary can buy a house anymore. Feel blessed that I managed to jump in whilst I could.
Golden handcuffs is a real thing.
Was hard for me to convince myself to leave my old job 4 years ago.
I regret absolutely nothing about leaving. I'm much happier, I work less and I actually like going to work now.
So the key advantage to a kaleidoscape system is the UI. It just has a very streamlined user interface that brings thousands of movies to your fingertips like streaming but because you download them and play them locally it gives you better quality with less compression. I.e. you don’t have to spend time buying Blue-rays and ripping them to store on your Plex server you can just pick a movie and it and watch it. I believe it also downloads the movies in parts in sequential order so you can actually start watching it before the entire download finishes giving you a popcorn time like experience where you’re kind of streaming it but not and at the end you just have the whole movie.
I love how much they take their viewers' opinions into account with these products, it seems very exhausting tbh.
Hey linus,
you may need to check your assumptions. First of all, as a machinist Stainless steel is not the most durable metal for a lot of things it is simply the best at corrosion resistance. Unless you are using 17-4ph or some other exotic stainless you'd be far better served by going with a spring steel like 5160 or 6150. On that note as far as a black coating, Use salt nitride bath. It is not a coating and it is a physical alternation of the material. They use it on Gun barrels and other things that are extremely high wear as it makes the surface extremely hard. Nitride coating is also extremely corrosion resistant hence why they use it on gun components. You would be much better served and probably cheaper by going with a stronger springier alloy of steel that is shock absorbent and then nitride coating it. This would give you the greatest durability while also making the shaft black. I really hope this helps this is not necessarily criticism but just informing you of all the options.
cheers
Re: Your fans taking it upon themselves to harass the previous tenants. This kind of thing happens all the time, to anyone with a fanbase; RUclipsrs, celebrities (LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!).

@@thanosunreal5848 Yup. A collaboration would be great too.
There is a really good reason why Stainless Steel behaves the way it does. It's NOT A COATING or any deposition. The Chrome is part of the steel alloy and thus is in the entire steel. when the chrome is exposed to oxygen in the air (i.e. it is on the surface) it turns silver and becomes chromium dioxide which is a rust preventative exterior barrier. If a stainless object has its surface scratched it exposes more chrome and almost instantly forms a new protective barrier. All the other types of protection are surface coatings of some sort or involve some deposition of something. Some of the processes have a really good bond (like bluing and nitride treatments of metal parts) due to the nature of the coating process, but they still do not permeate the entire metal part.
Not that i really care what color the screwdriver is, but ive had cerocoated rifles that have taken some serious beatings over a 10 year period and they have never once chipped. Same with the ones that are just Blued(black oxide) never had there color chip at all. It may not be cost effective for a screwdriver but, it can certainly be done.
It's on a gnurled shaft which is quite a bit different than a rifle barrel.
@@DanKaschel knurled* and its only part of the shaft that is. Its really not difficult, i work in a machine shop making medical equipment. We Blu knurled parts all the time with no issue. Every metal part on a rifle is blued not just the barrel.
Feel free to look up black oxide coating, it doesnt chip, the only way to remove it is chemically, and its super thin down to 10 millionths of an inch.
Its the standard way of turning steel black, the fact they didnt even consider it is odd.
this is random but here’s a suggestion for LTX, they should have make it like a comic con where the staff members have their own panels like a channel super fun panel with dennis, a graphic design panel with sarah. then have photo op and autograph sessions with the staff members

55:28 I work as a controller at an amazon competitor in germany( but a large part of our revenue comes from Amazon-Customers) and when I first started at this company I thought that the cost of air-shipments I saw were insane and had to be a mistake, but after talking to a colleague I realized that transport by air is just THAT expensive. It really is crazy and we avoid it a much as possible.
I personally think the reason cards are in stock is a double edged sword. Lots in stock, because even though they're at MSRP, a lot of people like myself can't afford it due to inflation affecting literally every other market. Groceries, rent, gas has just made luxuries unobtainable.
If the tiles were either on a wall or removed from a wall and new tiles are then somewhere else, you've been provided with new tiles. RE-placed, means they were placed again, meaning they are on the same place the previous tiles were, so if removed from a wall, they need to be RE-applied to that same wall to be RE-placed.

Even with Amazon Japan, the warehouse employees (both full-time and part-timers) are protesting about the working conditions and salaries, the delivery drivers are also protesting about the huge amount of packages they need to deliver, making them work super overtime.
I don't know about the US, but here in Tokyo area, hourly wage at Amazon is about $10 (USD) which is about the same as at most fast food places like Mc Donalds.
The state of labor rights in America is bad enough that we could easily get close to the labor towns of the early 20th century in the coming decades if we don't start getting our labor rights back instead of losing them at a constant rate.
Germany will have supply chain ethics legislation in January that will make companies liable for some international abuses.
Not saying Americans outside of illegal agriculture or prison labor will gain benefits but it's likely making supply chains transparent and will enabling to advance workers rights.
By the way, I was surprised when I heard you say you blurred out signage from the tour video because I remembered seeing the name of the previous tenant somewhere in the video.

Idk how the floatplane infrastructure works, but maybe you could re-upload a blurred version or replace the file or sth?
Just to be safe they won't get any further harrassment...
"Someone should shmassassinate Shmeffery Shmezos"
150% turnover is fairly normal in entry level jobs, especially physically active ones. Restaurants are commonly over 100% turnover, mainly from it commonly being a first job and also being pretty difficult. So I wouldn’t be surprised if the warehouse jobs had 150% turnover. Now, if the company as a whole has 150% turnover, that’s bad.
Has to be warehouse. You simply can’t build working software systems, especially ones as broad and complex as AWS, with that kind of turnover.
"The funny part is when they say, 'oh by the way, this is what I was making at a FAANG and I want you to match it.' You want to work less than half as many hours and get the same pay?"
Assuming this is a salaried Amazon worker applying for a salaried LMG position, this negotiation based on some presumed hourly rate is unethical. Long hours is a result of bad company culture. High pay is a result of huge profit margins on software products (AWS). These two effects are only loosely correlated: startups have low pay AND long hours, government work has low pay AND low hours... Amazon is the only FAANG with a consistent reputation for bad work-life balance. If you want top talent, you need to pay for top talent, end of story. The self-righteous attitude from LMG expecting "world-class", committed employees for average pay needs to stop.
One of the reasons Amazon turnover is so high is that a lot of the people coming think Amazon is this like robotic warehouse and it will be easy, but really most of the starter positions are pretty physical and people bail out after the first day, because they don't want to work.
The worst part of Amazons turnover is that they don’t realize it’s a problem with them and their business model.
There’s no way that they don’t know that. They’re not dumb. They’re not ethical.
This really must be just american thing, because even tho I left , Amazon work was really enjoyable and paid well WELL above average, Amazon is literally one of the best paying jobs here in Slovakia, its kind of crazy I got paid so much money for doing almost nothing. If I didnt live so far, Id work there till the end of my life lol, getting paid for playing video games and once a week changing someones computer mouse for a new one? sign me up lol, there really appears to be a giant difference between american amazon and european amazon, even people that worked near a conveyor belt talk to each other frequently and just chill out, sometimes i see people spending 90% of their time talking to each other because they can and no one tells them not to, the only rule during covid was that you have to mantain distance so you dont spread it, but people still talked to each other and just hung out
Completely understand the pricing point, however silly it was. A PowerMac 6100/60 (60MHz), 32MB RAM, 13” CRT, scanner (with Photoshop free), budget laser printer and PageMaker was around $10K Australian in the early 90s.

I'm just saying that Luke is still doing video card performance tests by looking at the skybox in Skyrim.

Linus is a good inspiration not to shy start our own business, working for companies is bad, they are after your soul. Earning a lot of money means nothing if you burn out.
The engineering side of Amazon has a mandatory rate of attrition. Managers that don't fire enough employees get fired themselves. It results in about 10% of developers being put on PIP plans every year, and the PIP plans are intentionally difficult to fulfill. If you quit at any time in this process you're put on the don't rehire list.
It has resulted in Amazon intentionally hiring lots of less qualified developers, just so that managers can avoid canning their most productive workers.
Even worse, if you're put on a PIP, you aren't allowed to switch teams, which at face-value seems relatively normal. But it has been used by managers to prevent their best developers from moving to other teams.
sounds like classic company your a not doing your job right, similar example in game dev when they make sequel, nobody value the fact of knowing when not to change smth because its perfect, they are always made to change stuff, looking at you ea
Sounds like mindless management just playing the corporate game. Not a great plan long term. People are your most important asset.
They already have that 'imported worker program' at Amazon. They bring workers in, keep them in RV parks/camps. That already occurs. Some get RVs and live right outside the warehouses but many just stay at the camps and take a bus there.
12:06 Regarding shipping people from other areas: So I am from Europe and just received an email from Amazon Canada offering a role in Vancouver with relocation package and everything. It's a software developer role, which may have different turnover, but still... I think I will politely decline 😅
