My nitpick: Every TV is a smart TV. It wouldn’t be a problem if they didn’t ALL have the slowest processing power, almost regardless of the price. A $1,200 TV should never lag on its own UI. If I want a TV smart, I’ll add whatever smart box to the HDMI 1 port.
I was just like you 5 years ago but I gave up. It's a losing battle. I was hoping the smart TV trend would die like 3d tv did but it seems they're here to stay.
@@ViciousTuna2012 My TV has been crying for several years that it wants to connect to the internet to finish it's setup. Piss off TV, you're never connecting.
Do you one better.. My Odyssey G9 OLED, MONITOR, has wifi and a built in streaming functionality... They are willing to put that data thieving, e-waste trash even on high end MONITORS now...Safe to say it is *never* going online...
@@JustLovett0 the tv manufacturers make money off of the ads and the data they can collect from you so they’ll never stop. There is only one class of displays that don’t do this now, the commercial ones meant for signage, smartboards, and video walls. If you have the extra money to burn look for a used one on Marketplace with an OPS slot
Minor (maybe major tbh) tech gripe: Why isn't there a way to tell windows "hey, I've got my audio devices set the way I want. If you see a new one, I don't care, don't fucking swap to it"
I use headphones, speakers, quest link and virtual desktop, and managing the audio devices/communication devices is horrible. I found the SoundSwitch app to manage those for me.
Mine is waaay worse. I have a display that DISCONNECTS when it goes to sleep. So, picture this: you have more than one display, you work, then you take a break and when you return to PC and move the mouse to wake the displays EVERY GODDAMN WINDOW HAS MOVED OR BEEN MINIMIZED. This behavior drives me nuts. Although, i think it's display problem, but why can't i check some setting in windows to "lock" displays
oh yes, when you swap monitors or sometiing like that it's like "A new hdmi autio device, let's use that". I hate that behavior so much. If I set the audio output to a specific aux port I want it to still be set to that in three years no matter what.
Tech gripe: after clicking hibernate, you have to wait until your laptop finishes turning off before you close the lid. Closing the lid before the laptop is fully off, interrupts the hibernation process and puts the laptop to sleep. The laptop will remain on sleep (draining the battery) until its empty or you open the laptop to wake up the laptop and you get to resume the hibernation process and turn on your 80 degrees 16% battery, laptop
I think you can work around this by setting "when I close the lid" to "do nothing". Still silly, and might not always work, and does mean you need two clicks to go to sleep before closing it. But in my experience it gives more control which is nice. Also, you can quickly close it for a sec to move and reopen to continue again only moments later.
that's so strange, i've got two windows laptops (one for work, one for play) and i always hibernate them and they've never interrupted themselves unless i accidentally smack my keyboard(s)
tech gripe: UI has regressed back to heiroglyphics and none of them are consistent also when a new window opens it yoinks focus away and interrupts typing
This is a big gripe for me with multi screen setups, when I open a game or some other kind of full screen app, and sometimes just a normal desktop app, will yank focus while I'm in the middle of typing on another screen.
@maxrburgess we had word based cascading menus since windows 95. Icons only became the dominant pattern when people decided computers should be used by people finger painting rather than using keyboards or mice. Then they decided we needed to have "style" redesigns every few years making icons more and more abstract so even if you do learn to decipher icons you need to do it again and again purely for fashion.
Oh, yeah that sucks. I've got a 3 monitors and a tv connected to my pc, i can never tell what DP cable i should run to my 4k monitor and which ones i have to avoid
@@MrPsychomonkey They aren't talking about being confused what cable is what, in a large cluster of cables in situ, they are worried about the capabilities, and exceeding them, and breaking the cable. Alternatively, grabbing the wrong cable and not being able to power their laptop properly causing a charge to take a long time. This is the problem of the USBC standard, All the cables are the same, but all the capabilities are different. This was (Generally) not a problem when all your different cables had a different plug on every end, basically we have the same problem as we did back then, but now the plugs all look the same, and using them in the wrong application can break the device/the cable. The problem is inherent to thunderbolt and usb4 using the same plug, and then also different capabilities being available, but not on all cables, you might have a cable that can do 90 Watt power, plus video displays/display port, plus multiple streams of thunderbolt data, and then right next to it, have a 20watt power only cable that looks near identical, sometimes if the device is not "Smart" enough, if you plug the 90W cable into your 20W device, you will kill it.....
Heres a small gripe, if you highlight a row in excel and then switch to a different window, the row doesn't keep its highlight so its easy to lose your spot
My nitpick: RUclips History doesn't display you having watched a specific video from a playlist, it just says you watched the entire playlist Nor does it show a video that you watched via autoplay
@@silverbackag9790 I mean he has mentioned it many times in the past. He also made a post about how scummy they were years ago. So yes he did know and that's why he ended the partnership and spoke+posted about it years ago.
@@cronchcrunch "Years ago." Lol, you act like it was a decade or more ago. He was hawking their crap during the beard era...which was just a few years ago. Hell, the Linus page on Honey is still alive. Besides, a company of 100+ tech nerds couldn't figure out what was going on? It was pretty damned evident.
minor tech gripe: There's no easy, and built-in method in Windows to lock the volume so it can't go past a certain level. This is important to me for my kid's PC. I know, you can buy specific headphones or speakers that are low output, but still. As it stands I found some ancient third party software to lock the volume level, but I feel like that should be able to be done easily within Windows settings.
In general the Windows audio system sucks. I have a very specific setup using virtual channels and whatnot. I also use a KVM to switch between my Desktop and my work laptop. There is a roughly 20% chance that upon switching my audio setup just breaks because Windows just reactivates the monitors audio output and sets it as standard device
You already have a solution but you may want to check out the Peace equalizer/APO Eq. Easy to use and should have what you want. Bonus: Its a Windows-wide equalizer
@@silverbackag9790Do you have any idea about what is going on here or are you just randomly flaming LTT cause you are a hater? Even if you were against LTT or Linus personally, your comment would still be super dumb. Honey not only works against the end consumers (viewers) but also pretty much stole the commission fees from channels. So why exactly would LTT be shilling for honey when they stopped working with honey since they pretty much stole money from LTT?
I so hate that YT Music syncs your followed artists as subscribed in RUclips. Sure I love the music but dont spam my video recommendations with hundreds of artists at all times.
The other way around sucks too. You like a total shitpost (example the mariachi shrimp) and YT music puts it unironically into your next playlist. Separation would be good
Nitpick: windows login screen you need to press a key to get the password box, BUT there is a short period of time from the box appearing to it actually allows you to type anything
Yes, and it doesn't take the key you pressed. Occasionally you even need to Ctrl+alt+delete to get the box to show. I'm Linux you just start typing and it takes every key, much easier
@@dkman123 also on linux, if the loading takes a bit of time and you realise you made a mistake in the password, you can just hit escape and the loading stops instantly, allowing you to re-type the password. On windows, BOY, that's not how it works. You have to wait for the loading to fail, like a million years later.
Tech Gripe: Websites' UI loading one by one, moving already loaded elements/buttons. Sometimes it feels like the button you want is placed specifically where ads show up after (insert unreactable amount of time) Extra minus points if it's a web UI in an app.
My biggest tech gripe: moving things to the Settings app from Control Panel. Everything takes way more clicks, and some things, like setting a static IP just don't seem to work, and I still have to dig up the Control Panel to do what I want. "Hey, this has been working great for 30+ years, let's just completely ruin it!"
Gosh I don't mind the side menu because it's somewhat organized, but goodness.... give me a "Run as advanced menu" to customize it some and it would be fine
What gets me is they seemed bound and determined to move to the settings app...BUT DON'T MOVE HALF THE SHIT OVER. Like holy hell any time I need to adjust my audio devices I need to go to the actual control panel, but they keep on burying getting to it more and more.
As someone who uses KDE connect to mirror notifications from Android to my Linux desktop, I can confirm: your aunt is not going to use this app. I don't even like using the thing lmao
@NCISCherno oh it absolutely is. I'm extremely grateful for the functionality on those rare occasions I need to use it, but I also acknowledge that it's design and setup process would be considered somewhat obtuse to the average, less-tech literate user. Although I've never used it on any platform other than Linux Android, so the process might be smoother elsewhere.
Tech gripes idea - there's no way in windows GUI to adjust priority for wifi networks. You can use netsh in cmd to set priorities but it also updates and gets overidden when you select a lower priority network, effectively making the last selected network the number 1 priority. The GUI for which saved networks you have already allows you to sort by priority, but there's no way to edit them.
@@igelbofh I hadn't noticed it in win7, but I've also only recently come across the scenarios where I have access to multiple networks in the same area and have a reason to want a priority. It gets super confusing when I can't troubleshoot various things because my firewall blocks ping from a guest network that I connected to on Friday near end of day for some reason and now, Monday morning, instead of being on the privileged network, I'm back on guest. Easy fix when you notice it, but took me ages to realize that was happening when I was switching networks more.
Intel offers Intel Connectivity Performance Suite on their Evo platform devices, ICPS dynamically adjusts using seven metrics because the one with the most "bars of signal" is not always the most responsive or the greatest throughput (and can also combine Wi-Fi access points). Intel's Wi-Fi 7 implementation includes many of these performance enhancements.
Me: Better add both my 2.4 and 5 ghz wifi networks to my laptop as sometimes 2.4 is better than 5. Laptop: Ok got it, only 2.4 Me: No... use whatever is faster. Laptop: OK got it, only use 2.4 Me: That is not what I said, please switch to 5 ghz as I am 10 feet away from the router with direct line of sight. Laptop: Ok, let's see here.... yeah no good there is no 5 ghz only 2.4 Me: What? No it is right there, just look again. Laptop: I don't see anything at all.
Omg this drives me NUTS! My uni campus has two Wi-Fi networks and I am CONSTANTLY switching to the good fast one but that's not available campus wide so I have to manually go and set myself to the slow bad one when I move somewhere and suddenly loose wifi because if I leave auto connect on the slow one it CONSTANTLY connects over the fast one
I have a Mac from work. I like using my mouse vs trackpad for certain tasks - or because I want my wrist to be comfy. MacOS has separate sections in settings for 'Mouse' and 'Trackpad,' but changing scrolling direction in either changes it for both. WHY?!
Tech gripe: UI functionality being removed and/or moved around for no reason. Windows 10, can't individually select the battery or sound icon, it wants to select a group of 3 before letting me near the settings I want. Headphone jack. Never giving that one up.
I think you're thinking of Windows 11 not 10 and I agree, it's stupid, especially having to click the battery icon every time you want to see the battery percentage instead of it just being on the taskbar in the first place.
I'm using Sony phones precisely because of that. Sadly my laptop doesn't have a headphone jack because I couldn't even imagine that anyone would have the audacity to remove it, so I'm stuck with that one for a while.
@@robertdascoli949 NoKi (the WAN show time stamp guy) said that it is too stressful to immediately create the timestamps when the show is live. It may now take 1 or 2 days for him to do the timestamps over the weekend
Regarding LAN file sending, LocalSend FOSS works flawlessly on Android, Android TV, MacOS, iOS, Windows, Linux. It's supreme and open source, just have to be on the same network (VLAN) obviously. I have my whole corporate office using it
My gripe: Microsoft keeps downloading New Outlook onto my pc even though I've uninstalled it 50 times. It is riddled with ads and imports my data from the stock mail app and calendar WITHOUT my permission and even displays ads as unread emails. I have 1x account with Office 365 personal, and 2x accounts with 365 Pro. I should not have to be held hostage on my own computer
Tech gripe for iOS: iPhone never switches to the nearest wifi, so if you have multiple wifi points (such as upstairs and downstairs) the phone will simply stop loading anything as it desperately holds onto the oldest most distant connection, requiring a manual reconnect to the nearby wifi points to get any app to load again
The opposite extreme would be my older Android phone that frequently disconnects from the nearby WiFi just to connect to a distant WiFi, reducing speed and battery life.
Holy crap! You just solved a 6 month mystery in my house. My home is a 1957 cinderblock home with plaster walls. Great for hurricanes but awful for wifi. Even with a mesh network across the house my wife's phone still constantly struggles with loading everything. Now I can tell her once again problem from her dumb apple phone.
@@Hughzaa9 works for me. All iOS devices are roaming well between floors. My WIFI APs have a setting called ‚Roaming assistant‘ with a default of -70db for disconnect.
1:54:00 We had the same issue at my local gym for fitness classes. The policy was if you miss 3 sessions in a row without cancelling, which you could do up to 1h before the session, you'd be banned from pre booking for 6 months. You could still drop in, if there's spaces available, just not pre-book until the cool down expired. Seems like a decent compromise, though 1h might be short for badminton. Cancelling takes zero effort and if you can't go not doing it just makes you a bumhole.
There are still consequences for bad behavior, but the punishments aren't severe enough for the rich to care, while being TOO severe for the poor, because the "justice" system wants to look like it's doing SOMETHING.
@@fujinshu They might be talking about the people in theaters disrupting everyone else. The general level of respect people have to people they do not interact directly with is appalling.
@@0Rookie0That’s because there are no physical repercussions. Back in the day that type of behavior would have lead to a physical fight.

Unpopular tech gripe: let me have root in android without having to do some whatever fuckery there is. Shove it in dev settings, biometrics forced and make the user watch a 5min video to understand the risks given to allow it to be switched on (and warranty voiding whatever). If I'm going to root I'll do it regardless, why make me do the extra work and break shit while I'm at it (looking at you Knox)
It's literally voodoo magic nowadays to get your apps to work too because they have play protect and keyboxes and everything. It's possible to get back to "strong" while rooted but they make it an absolute PAIN for no reason. No other operating system checks 8 times and shuts off half the phone just because you decided you wanted to edit your host file.
Here's one: HDR is still super finicky, ESPECIALLY if you have a multi monitor set up. Several games' HDR will break if you have multiple monitors (Sekiro and Resident Evil are big offenders for this). If you have windows' autoHDR on, for some games, autoHDR will override the games' native HDR. And by far the most annoying: Windows has an HDR calibration tool. When you use it, it asks you to name and save your HDR calibration profile. (To my knowledge) There is no way to actually select from your saved HDR calibration profiles. If your HDR calibration resets because it was broken by your multi-monitor set up, which happens quite a bit, you cannot find your previously saved HDR calibration profile and use that, you have to do the whole calibration process from scratch. Why am I being asked to name and save my calibration profile when there's no way to browse and select my saved calibration profiles!?
Please also include MS continuously hiding your Ethernet adapter information further and deeper in settings. They just changed it again recently and now it's even harder to find.
Nitpick: RUclips makes it difficult to restart a video (unless you press 0 on desktop). There used to be an on-screen button for that. And the beginning of the scrub bar is literally disabled for clicking to make it harder. WHY
Nitpick! I hope Linus picks this up. If windows can't delete or move a file because it's open in another program, tell me where or how it's open. A lot of the time its not immediately obvious where the file is open. On more than one occasion I've had to go as far as restarting my PC to release the process/memory block holding the file.
Windows often lies about file transfers when they are completed. For big file transfers they are done as a background task and appear to be finished to the user even when they're not completed. Windows stops you from moving or deleting the file to avoid data corruption. Although, I have also had times where the file has crashed during transfer and I have had to restart. Once after a large backup to an external drive I just left my PC on overnight and the problem went away by morning. So yeah... Windows *sigh*
Tech gripe: On mobile Chrome, you can't switch Google accounts to see the history or bookmarks of your other accounts. The only workaround is to also install the Chrome Beta app and log into your other account on Chrome Beta; it goes without saying, but this workaround only works if you only have two accounts you need to switch between. FYI, I use Android; not sure if it is different for iOS users.
huh? I'm confused. I thought you could open Chrome --> 3 dots top right corner --> Settings --> Tap your profile photo --> All other accounts should be below. Also, in the settings Menu there is a "Google Password Manager" option that you can tap. Again once you're in that part of the menu you tap your profile photo to show all the accounts. FYI I'm using a Samsung S22 Ultra
At this point unless you are required to use HP printers for some reason, you are someone that has a big investment in HP printers already (e.g. big corporation) or you have access to a ridiculously cheap source of HP ink/toner, you would have to be stupid to buy a HP printer instead of, say, a Canon or Epson or Brother printer.
the only hp I have is the smart tank 5500 . it mimics the shaq epson refillable printer. But I agree somewhat because I really do like epson printers. They are easy to use.
Recently I was shopping for a new laptop, and thanks to LTTs coverage of their printer policies, I remembered to filter all HP products out of the results!
I swapped my Epson EcoTank for my girlfriend's HP Envy Multifunction, because she prints out far more stuff than me for her job... I rue the day that I did that... F*ck HP.
HP was my go-to for years (laptops, desktops, printers, etc.). It wasn't until the last couple of years when they started doing SO many anti-consumer practices with their printers, ink, and other devices that I said "I'm done." I've told my wife we're no longer buying anything HP and we've moved away from all HP products. They may be popular and convenient due to their market presence, but I'm fed up. I actually have an old HP printer that randomly bricked just after cancelling their ridiculous ink subscription (coincidence?) that I'm planning on smashing so I can feel some sense of vindictive joy.
I have Samsung laser printer for few years, and have no complains. Although it's not used much, I never replaced tonner. And I am using it on Linux over USB cable, and that means no weird "driver" apps, so that may be part of why I have good experience.
Really? I right click the time in the bottom right, go into settings and turn off the "Set time automatic" and then I can pick whichever time zone I want. It changes right away with no hassle. Maybe this is an user problem?
@@jvcobREverything is a user error depending on how you look at it. Because for everything you could have known that that doesn't work and used some sort of workaround. But that isn't fair to users imo. Windows often changes random settings that break stuff. Like the W11 24H2 update now requiring SMB signing and deactivating SMBv1. They argued because of safety, but windows doesn't get to decide shit like that. If you are a company you pay someone who knows better and if you are a home user noone is gonna hack into your network and do a man in the middle attack on you NAS. That is just a stupid windows decision once again
30:50 Firefox has containers and profiles which are two different things. Profiles in firefox are currently very clunky but are scheduled to get an update to make them more usable withing the next few months. Edit: the new profiles have reached minimal viable product status and are getting a tiny rollout starting in January with 0.5% of users getting them for testing purposes. It will be rolled out to more people once it's more complete. Containers on the other hand are pretty nice to use. Basically you can either set a certain tab, or certain websites to always open in a certain container and that container can then have different account logins from other containers. So if you want a different account for different Google services you can make different containers for them. Similarly if you have a work and a personal account you can just use a work container and a personal container etc.
11:40 I think I have an idea why time and language is on the first page: for the same reason that many websites have the language option at the very top. Say that for some reason you are on the wrong language, like if the localization reverted back to English but you only speak polish, or like if your buddy played you a prank and switched your computer to mandarin; you want to absolutely minimize the steps it takes to change back into the correct language because if you are in the wrong one navigating any kind of menu can be hard

@13:30 As a proud owner of a Sony Xperia 1 VI XQ-EC54 (early Christmas present), recently fully updated (Android 14), there is an option called "Side sense" that puts a sort of quick menu (looks like a partial vertical scroll bar) on one or both sides of the screen. *Flicking that bar down acts as a back button.* The position is configurable and I think the apps are too but haven't tested it thoroughly yet. The option to activate/configure it is in "Settings"->"System"->"Gestures"->"Side Sense"
Hearts is my jam! My Dad's side of the family plays hearts whenever we get together. Also, you can play hearts with up to 6 players. You only select two cards to pass to accomodate the smaller hand sizes. For a 5 player game, two cards are dealt into another pile face down (known as the kitty), and whoever takes the first HEART point, also has to take the kitty and add it to their points pile. Whoevertakess the kitty does not need to show what was in the kitty. For 6 players it's the same thing but there are four cards in the kitty. It adds some risk to taking the first points, and can add some strategy.
My nitpick: RUclips changes arrow button functions - if you click on video then up-down = volume left right = skip but if you click on volume the up-down and left-right both adjust volume and click on timeline then they all skip.
Yep! Also when you first open a video page, but haven’t clicked anywhere on the player, up/down will default to skipping the timeline, until you click somewhere on the player, then, as you said, it will do volume. So I have to click on the player every video I watch to get up/down as vol, left/right as skip
Hey Linus, Worked in big and Tall post high-school several years ago while trying to figure out post secondary. Your largest volumes will be 2XL, XL, and L and 3xl should be tied, more or less in this order. M and S should be your slowest sellers. We never carried mediums or smalls in T-Shirts. The fact you do is probably making people very happy, we had requests for sizes smaller than large - but they represent an unfortunate minority in the clients we were serving. I'm glad to check you guys have finally sold out of M's and S's on the Store, but was frustrated as I have been waiting for the restock of the XL and 2xl sizes. I've been waiting to try yours and see how they compare to my current... favourite shirts which aren't in production anymore. Its been nearly a decade and they have been holding together wonderfully for a "daily driver" shirt.

@@emikomina They actually stopped the sponsorship the moment they saw it changes the referal link and honey did not change that after they requested that.
My smallest, largest Nitpick: When you Ctrl-A to select all in a text field... but the application doesn't have that coded and nothing happens. It's especially bad when this changes between release versions. I'm looking at you, iTunes for Windows.
@@satratic127I use instead of backspace, weirdly. I'm a fast typer so I'd rather Ctrl-A and retype one phrase rather than backspace - but it doesn't always work depending on the application!
Tech gripe: Windows sound device vs communication device. Why does it even exist?? How many people need those outputs to be separate? Should I be using my headphones for communication and speakers for game sounds? That makes no sense, just add a checkbox to ALWAYS keep device/communication device in-sync.
An extreamly minor nitpick. When I click on a video to play in the RUclips sidebar, the ad at the top of the page sometimes changes, which shifts the video down or up. This can cause me to click on the wrong video. Also, the recommended videos sometimes change when I return to the page using the back button, which makes it difficult to find the video I wanted to watch.
After having done many games of cards nights the most mind blowing thing Linus has ever said (in my opinion) is about crazy eights, not one person I’ve ever met in the wild knew about this game yet somehow across the pacific Linus knows about the same game I teach people. This truly is one of the most mind blowing things I’ve seen in a video for real like it’s literally nothing I know but too wild for me
Tech gripe: On windows 11, if you go full screen in an app, it immediately unsnaps the window. RUclips window scaling also doesn’t work properly at high monitor resolutions and it’s even more infuriating that this issue was temporarily fixed for a month or so before being reverted back for no reason what so ever.
As far as I"m concerned HP already downgrades printer features by making us unable to make adjustments to background color and changes to grey scale instead of black typeface, or selectively remove images and photos from docs before printing them or easily print to half pages, etc. like we used to be able to do to save lots of ink clear back as early as the 90's.
Speaking of computer sleep problems. Ever since I replaced my HDD with an SSD, my computer stopped going to sleep. I can put it to sleep manually, but it won't do it on its own, and I can't figure out why.
For the no-show to booked session, you could just make it so that the first time they no-show (without cancelling an hour or more before, as a way to avoid the "punishment") they can't use the online booking for a week. The second time they can't use the online booking for 2 weeks, third time, 4 weeks, fourth time, 8 weeks. Then it suddenly becomes very problematic _for them_ to no-show. Doubling the time they can't use the booking system for each infraction. And you could even add in that every x amount of time the "counter" goes down by one, so if someone no-shows once but then don't do that for x amount of time after that then they're back to their next no-show only giving them 1 week of not being able to use the online booking. Oh, and time spent in "booking jail" obviously shouldn't count for that. Might be hard to fully implement, though. Seems the most fair and still punishing system to me.
On Linux, it actually shows you which app is preventing sleep, and allows you to temporarily or permenantly ignore it. It just adds a little "X is blocking sleep for Y reason".
@7:30 No, it says it does, but it doesn't actually work. I routinely have to dig recurring emails related to payments out of my spam folder, no matter how many times I've marked them as not spam.
12:22 can we PLEASE get the ability to adjust monitors to be their actual physical size in the real world. NOT just assume their relative size to eachother because of the pixel density

Here's an idea for Wan after dark - maybe ask for audience submissions for variations of the wan logo? It has to be same shape, but creative. And every week you can pick a winner to be used for next week's wan after dark.
Just the fact that privacy settings in Windows 11 resets your scrollbar the the top after pressing a subsection, had me go back to Linux after 4 minutes of first boot. To tweak all privacy settings you have to scroll to your last position for every category. Microsoft really do not want you to use the privacy settings.
My gripe with RUclips: on mobile with premium if you are watching videos with the queue and close out of the app part way through, the video you were on doesn’t show up in your history. Only videos you completely finish watching do. Doesn’t happen if you aren’t using the queue.
Are you actually looking at the history and not just the preview of the history which groups playlists? (I assume internally the queue is handled as playlist on the fly). Either tab on the history title to open it or look at yt com / feed / history
The investigation video that exposed this just came out yesterday. Give it a week or two and Linus will either talk about it on wan or make a dedicated video. Larger channels like LTT take time to turn out videos.

My nitpick: Every TV is a smart TV. It wouldn’t be a problem if they didn’t ALL have the slowest processing power, almost regardless of the price. A $1,200 TV should never lag on its own UI. If I want a TV smart, I’ll add whatever smart box to the HDMI 1 port.
I was just like you 5 years ago but I gave up. It's a losing battle. I was hoping the smart TV trend would die like 3d tv did but it seems they're here to stay.
@@ViciousTuna2012 My TV has been crying for several years that it wants to connect to the internet to finish it's setup. Piss off TV, you're never connecting.
@@ViciousTuna2012Consumers don’t care about the speed of the device until it gets that bad, and even then, their laziness wins out at the end.
Do you one better.. My Odyssey G9 OLED, MONITOR, has wifi and a built in streaming functionality... They are willing to put that data thieving, e-waste trash even on high end MONITORS now...Safe to say it is *never* going online...
@@JustLovett0 the tv manufacturers make money off of the ads and the data they can collect from you so they’ll never stop.
There is only one class of displays that don’t do this now, the commercial ones meant for signage, smartboards, and video walls.

Gripe: tapping the previewed comment (which seems to be picked based on timestamp) in the RUclips mobile app doesn't take you to that comment.

Minor (maybe major tbh) tech gripe: Why isn't there a way to tell windows "hey, I've got my audio devices set the way I want. If you see a new one, I don't care, don't fucking swap to it"
Managing audio devices on Windows, especially 11, is just pain.
Hmm on W11 mine does stay locked to a device even if not connected. I have no idea how I made it do that though.
I use headphones, speakers, quest link and virtual desktop, and managing the audio devices/communication devices is horrible. I found the SoundSwitch app to manage those for me.
Mine is waaay worse. I have a display that DISCONNECTS when it goes to sleep. So, picture this: you have more than one display, you work, then you take a break and when you return to PC and move the mouse to wake the displays EVERY GODDAMN WINDOW HAS MOVED OR BEEN MINIMIZED. This behavior drives me nuts. Although, i think it's display problem, but why can't i check some setting in windows to "lock" displays
oh yes, when you swap monitors or sometiing like that it's like "A new hdmi autio device, let's use that". I hate that behavior so much.
If I set the audio output to a specific aux port I want it to still be set to that in three years no matter what.
Tech gripe: after clicking hibernate, you have to wait until your laptop finishes turning off before you close the lid. Closing the lid before the laptop is fully off, interrupts the hibernation process and puts the laptop to sleep. The laptop will remain on sleep (draining the battery) until its empty or you open the laptop to wake up the laptop and you get to resume the hibernation process and turn on your 80 degrees 16% battery, laptop
I think you can work around this by setting "when I close the lid" to "do nothing". Still silly, and might not always work, and does mean you need two clicks to go to sleep before closing it. But in my experience it gives more control which is nice. Also, you can quickly close it for a sec to move and reopen to continue again only moments later.
It goes to sleep in the better case, sometimes it stays fully on
that's so strange, i've got two windows laptops (one for work, one for play) and i always hibernate them and they've never interrupted themselves unless i accidentally smack my keyboard(s)
tech gripe: UI has regressed back to heiroglyphics and none of them are consistent
also when a new window opens it yoinks focus away and interrupts typing
I think a search combined with tooltips mostly solves this but that isn't everywhere
@maxrburgess what's wrong with having words? Or clear icons that that don't require a major in interpretive dance to decipher
This is a big gripe for me with multi screen setups, when I open a game or some other kind of full screen app, and sometimes just a normal desktop app, will yank focus while I'm in the middle of typing on another screen.
@@zyeborm Icons are more compact, sometimes compactness is better, provided you know what they mean.
@maxrburgess we had word based cascading menus since windows 95.
Icons only became the dominant pattern when people decided computers should be used by people finger painting rather than using keyboards or mice.
Then they decided we needed to have "style" redesigns every few years making icons more and more abstract so even if you do learn to decipher icons you need to do it again and again purely for fashion.
How the vast majority of cables don't have their speeds, gen, or even capabilities somewhere on the cable is a frustration I have with tech
Oh, yeah that sucks. I've got a 3 monitors and a tv connected to my pc, i can never tell what DP cable i should run to my 4k monitor and which ones i have to avoid
RGB cables ? A button on it turns on and sets a RGB colour led on both ends?
And some cables dont even say what brand they are! Its impossible to know what device it came with
@@MrPsychomonkey They aren't talking about being confused what cable is what, in a large cluster of cables in situ, they are worried about the capabilities, and exceeding them, and breaking the cable.
Alternatively, grabbing the wrong cable and not being able to power their laptop properly causing a charge to take a long time.
This is the problem of the USBC standard, All the cables are the same, but all the capabilities are different.
This was (Generally) not a problem when all your different cables had a different plug on every end, basically we have the same problem as we did back then, but now the plugs all look the same, and using them in the wrong application can break the device/the cable.
The problem is inherent to thunderbolt and usb4 using the same plug, and then also different capabilities being available, but not on all cables, you might have a cable that can do 90 Watt power, plus video displays/display port, plus multiple streams of thunderbolt data, and then right next to it, have a 20watt power only cable that looks near identical, sometimes if the device is not "Smart" enough, if you plug the 90W cable into your 20W device, you will kill it.....
I've got a 240hz/1440p on the way and I have no idea if my current DP cable will run it..
Heres a small gripe, if you highlight a row in excel and then switch to a different window, the row doesn't keep its highlight so its easy to lose your spot
Oh my god this is the worst! I often have to use other apps while working in excel and I constantly loose my place.
My nitpick:
RUclips History doesn't display you having watched a specific video from a playlist, it just says you watched the entire playlist
Nor does it show a video that you watched via autoplay
That's only on mobile. And if you click "show all", it will show every video invidiually
Hear me out: Linus tucking in a laptop and the title could be "why won't you go to sleep?"
Next WAN talk about Honey?
He won’t. A bunch of us content website owners figured out what was going on pre PayPal buying it. He knew.
@@silverbackag9790 ? Linus makes alot of money off affiliate links, so he is probably getting robbed by honey more than anyone else.
@@silverbackag9790 I mean he has mentioned it many times in the past. He also made a post about how scummy they were years ago.
So yes he did know and that's why he ended the partnership and spoke+posted about it years ago.
@@cronchcrunch "Years ago." Lol, you act like it was a decade or more ago. He was hawking their crap during the beard era...which was just a few years ago. Hell, the Linus page on Honey is still alive.
Besides, a company of 100+ tech nerds couldn't figure out what was going on? It was pretty damned evident.
minor tech gripe: There's no easy, and built-in method in Windows to lock the volume so it can't go past a certain level. This is important to me for my kid's PC. I know, you can buy specific headphones or speakers that are low output, but still. As it stands I found some ancient third party software to lock the volume level, but I feel like that should be able to be done easily within Windows settings.
And Windows 11 looooooves to resize windows when waking up from hibernation instead of leaving windows neatly snapped.
@@handlemoniumthat's poor relevant to this comment
In general the Windows audio system sucks. I have a very specific setup using virtual channels and whatnot. I also use a KVM to switch between my Desktop and my work laptop. There is a roughly 20% chance that upon switching my audio setup just breaks because Windows just reactivates the monitors audio output and sets it as standard device
My realtek app has that at least!
You already have a solution but you may want to check out the Peace equalizer/APO Eq. Easy to use and should have what you want. Bonus: Its a Windows-wide equalizer

@@silverbackag9790Do you have any idea about what is going on here or are you just randomly flaming LTT cause you are a hater? Even if you were against LTT or Linus personally, your comment would still be super dumb. Honey not only works against the end consumers (viewers) but also pretty much stole the commission fees from channels. So why exactly would LTT be shilling for honey when they stopped working with honey since they pretty much stole money from LTT?
@@silverbackag9790how are they shilling?
I so hate that YT Music syncs your followed artists as subscribed in RUclips. Sure I love the music but dont spam my video recommendations with hundreds of artists at all times.
Their contribution to the Great Enshitification.
Test...
I use RUclips Music with a secondary youtube account within the same email so I can avoid this mixed behaviour crap.
The other way around sucks too. You like a total shitpost (example the mariachi shrimp) and YT music puts it unironically into your next playlist. Separation would be good
You could make a different account/ profile to use for RUclips to separate them.
While a bit tedious, it should work.
Nitpick: windows login screen you need to press a key to get the password box, BUT there is a short period of time from the box appearing to it actually allows you to type anything
Yes, and it doesn't take the key you pressed. Occasionally you even need to Ctrl+alt+delete to get the box to show. I'm Linux you just start typing and it takes every key, much easier
@@dkman123 also on linux, if the loading takes a bit of time and you realise you made a mistake in the password, you can just hit escape and the loading stops instantly, allowing you to re-type the password.
On windows, BOY, that's not how it works. You have to wait for the loading to fail, like a million years later.
Allegedly this is a security thing.
Yes!!

Tech Gripe: Websites' UI loading one by one, moving already loaded elements/buttons.
Sometimes it feels like the button you want is placed specifically where ads show up after (insert unreactable amount of time)
Extra minus points if it's a web UI in an app.
OMG, I second this one
Something similar I hate: assets/images only loads when the tab is in focus. I have bad internet so could be just me...
100% There are sites that do this intentionally, another reason you need to adblock these days. The internet is near unusable without one.
I could make a whole video about everything wrong with websites these days. So many dark patterns…
My biggest tech gripe: moving things to the Settings app from Control Panel. Everything takes way more clicks, and some things, like setting a static IP just don't seem to work, and I still have to dig up the Control Panel to do what I want. "Hey, this has been working great for 30+ years, let's just completely ruin it!"
Gosh I don't mind the side menu because it's somewhat organized, but goodness.... give me a "Run as advanced menu" to customize it some and it would be fine
What gets me is they seemed bound and determined to move to the settings app...BUT DON'T MOVE HALF THE SHIT OVER. Like holy hell any time I need to adjust my audio devices I need to go to the actual control panel, but they keep on burying getting to it more and more.

@NCISCherno oh it absolutely is. I'm extremely grateful for the functionality on those rare occasions I need to use it, but I also acknowledge that it's design and setup process would be considered somewhat obtuse to the average, less-tech literate user. Although I've never used it on any platform other than Linux Android, so the process might be smoother elsewhere.

Tech gripes idea - there's no way in windows GUI to adjust priority for wifi networks. You can use netsh in cmd to set priorities but it also updates and gets overidden when you select a lower priority network, effectively making the last selected network the number 1 priority. The GUI for which saved networks you have already allows you to sort by priority, but there's no way to edit them.
That's weird. Windows 7 GUI had priority setup, well hidden but it was there
@@igelbofh I hadn't noticed it in win7, but I've also only recently come across the scenarios where I have access to multiple networks in the same area and have a reason to want a priority. It gets super confusing when I can't troubleshoot various things because my firewall blocks ping from a guest network that I connected to on Friday near end of day for some reason and now, Monday morning, instead of being on the privileged network, I'm back on guest. Easy fix when you notice it, but took me ages to realize that was happening when I was switching networks more.
Intel offers Intel Connectivity Performance Suite on their Evo platform devices, ICPS dynamically adjusts using seven metrics because the one with the most "bars of signal" is not always the most responsive or the greatest throughput (and can also combine Wi-Fi access points). Intel's Wi-Fi 7 implementation includes many of these performance enhancements.
Me: Better add both my 2.4 and 5 ghz wifi networks to my laptop as sometimes 2.4 is better than 5.
Laptop: Ok got it, only 2.4
Me: No... use whatever is faster.
Laptop: OK got it, only use 2.4
Me: That is not what I said, please switch to 5 ghz as I am 10 feet away from the router with direct line of sight.
Laptop: Ok, let's see here.... yeah no good there is no 5 ghz only 2.4
Me: What? No it is right there, just look again.
Laptop: I don't see anything at all.
Omg this drives me NUTS! My uni campus has two Wi-Fi networks and I am CONSTANTLY switching to the good fast one but that's not available campus wide so I have to manually go and set myself to the slow bad one when I move somewhere and suddenly loose wifi because if I leave auto connect on the slow one it CONSTANTLY connects over the fast one
I have a Mac from work. I like using my mouse vs trackpad for certain tasks - or because I want my wrist to be comfy. MacOS has separate sections in settings for 'Mouse' and 'Trackpad,' but changing scrolling direction in either changes it for both. WHY?!

My gripe: Microsoft keeps downloading New Outlook onto my pc even though I've uninstalled it 50 times. It is riddled with ads and imports my data from the stock mail app and calendar WITHOUT my permission and even displays ads as unread emails.

You can set the folder it installs to a read only, might help for stopping it from happening again.
Tech gripe for iOS:
iPhone never switches to the nearest wifi, so if you have multiple wifi points (such as upstairs and downstairs) the phone will simply stop loading anything as it desperately holds onto the oldest most distant connection, requiring a manual reconnect to the nearby wifi points to get any app to load again
I’m an IT Specialist, and we have this issue with Apple devices ALL the time. MacBooks, iPads, and iPhones are all notoriously bad sticky clients.
The opposite extreme would be my older Android phone that frequently disconnects from the nearby WiFi just to connect to a distant WiFi, reducing speed and battery life.
Holy crap! You just solved a 6 month mystery in my house. My home is a 1957 cinderblock home with plaster walls. Great for hurricanes but awful for wifi. Even with a mesh network across the house my wife's phone still constantly struggles with loading everything. Now I can tell her once again problem from her dumb apple phone.
In my experience Android phones always had the issue as well lol
@@Hughzaa9 works for me. All iOS devices are roaming well between floors. My WIFI APs have a setting called ‚Roaming assistant‘ with a default of -70db for disconnect.
1:54:00 We had the same issue at my local gym for fitness classes. The policy was if you miss 3 sessions in a row without cancelling, which you could do up to 1h before the session, you'd be banned from pre booking for 6 months. You could still drop in, if there's spaces available, just not pre-book until the cool down expired. Seems like a decent compromise, though 1h might be short for badminton. Cancelling takes zero effort and if you can't go not doing it just makes you a bumhole.
There are no longer consequences for bad behaviour - and it's slowly destroying society.
There are still consequences for bad behavior, but the punishments aren't severe enough for the rich to care, while being TOO severe for the poor, because the "justice" system wants to look like it's doing SOMETHING.
@@fujinshu They might be talking about the people in theaters disrupting everyone else. The general level of respect people have to people they do not interact directly with is appalling.
@@0Rookie0That’s because there are no physical repercussions. Back in the day that type of behavior would have lead to a physical fight. While this isn’t good look at the result of them being removed from society. People behave worse. People need to be “checked” from time to time and it’s not being done anymore.

Unpopular tech gripe: let me have root in android without having to do some whatever fuckery there is. Shove it in dev settings, biometrics forced and make the user watch a 5min video to understand the risks given to allow it to be switched on (and warranty voiding whatever). If I'm going to root I'll do it regardless, why make me do the extra work and break shit while I'm at it (looking at you Knox)
It's literally voodoo magic nowadays to get your apps to work too because they have play protect and keyboxes and everything. It's possible to get back to "strong" while rooted but they make it an absolute PAIN for no reason. No other operating system checks 8 times and shuts off half the phone just because you decided you wanted to edit your host file.
significantly increasing the barrier to entry will actually make most people not just do it anyway, which increases security of most devices.
Here's one: HDR is still super finicky, ESPECIALLY if you have a multi monitor set up. Several games' HDR will break if you have multiple monitors (Sekiro and Resident Evil are big offenders for this). If you have windows' autoHDR on, for some games, autoHDR will override the games' native HDR. And by far the most annoying: Windows has an HDR calibration tool. When you use it, it asks you to name and save your HDR calibration profile. (To my knowledge) There is no way to actually select from your saved HDR calibration profiles. If your HDR calibration resets because it was broken by your multi-monitor set up, which happens quite a bit, you cannot find your previously saved HDR calibration profile and use that, you have to do the whole calibration process from scratch.
Why am I being asked to name and save my calibration profile when there's no way to browse and select my saved calibration profiles!?
Nitpick: no timestamps
This 3 hour show definitely needs them
You know this is a livestream right, why would they go timestamp
@atlasgaming1300 LTT could take notes during the show and add the time stamps when its over. So easy for them
Please also include MS continuously hiding your Ethernet adapter information further and deeper in settings. They just changed it again recently and now it's even harder to find.
For next wan show, will you talk about the honey controversie?
Nitpick: RUclips makes it difficult to restart a video (unless you press 0 on desktop). There used to be an on-screen button for that. And the beginning of the scrub bar is literally disabled for clicking to make it harder. WHY
Nitpick! I hope Linus picks this up.
If windows can't delete or move a file because it's open in another program, tell me where or how it's open. A lot of the time its not immediately obvious where the file is open. On more than one occasion I've had to go as far as restarting my PC to release the process/memory block holding the file.
I'd go as far as pushing windows to give the option to kill the process in the same pop-up.
Windows often lies about file transfers when they are completed. For big file transfers they are done as a background task and appear to be finished to the user even when they're not completed. Windows stops you from moving or deleting the file to avoid data corruption. Although, I have also had times where the file has crashed during transfer and I have had to restart. Once after a large backup to an external drive I just left my PC on overnight and the problem went away by morning. So yeah... Windows *sigh*
Tech gripe: On mobile Chrome, you can't switch Google accounts to see the history or bookmarks of your other accounts. The only workaround is to also install the Chrome Beta app and log into your other account on Chrome Beta; it goes without saying, but this workaround only works if you only have two accounts you need to switch between. FYI, I use Android; not sure if it is different for iOS users.
This is so so annoying. I want to switch accounts so I get the history for the other and it just looks at me like I'm asking for the impossible
huh? I'm confused. I thought you could open Chrome --> 3 dots top right corner --> Settings --> Tap your profile photo --> All other accounts should be below. Also, in the settings Menu there is a "Google Password Manager" option that you can tap. Again once you're in that part of the menu you tap your profile photo to show all the accounts. FYI I'm using a Samsung S22 Ultra
@@jvcobR Do you know how profiles work in the desktop version of Chrome? Yh, that's what we want.
At this point unless you are required to use HP printers for some reason, you are someone that has a big investment in HP printers already (e.g. big corporation) or you have access to a ridiculously cheap source of HP ink/toner, you would have to be stupid to buy a HP printer instead of, say, a Canon or Epson or Brother printer.
the only hp I have is the smart tank 5500 . it mimics the shaq epson refillable printer. But I agree somewhat because I really do like epson printers. They are easy to use.
Recently I was shopping for a new laptop, and thanks to LTTs coverage of their printer policies, I remembered to filter all HP products out of the results!
I swapped my Epson EcoTank for my girlfriend's HP Envy Multifunction, because she prints out far more stuff than me for her job... I rue the day that I did that... F*ck HP.
HP was my go-to for years (laptops, desktops, printers, etc.). It wasn't until the last couple of years when they started doing SO many anti-consumer practices with their printers, ink, and other devices that I said "I'm done." I've told my wife we're no longer buying anything HP and we've moved away from all HP products. They may be popular and convenient due to their market presence, but I'm fed up. I actually have an old HP printer that randomly bricked just after cancelling their ridiculous ink subscription (coincidence?) that I'm planning on smashing so I can feel some sense of vindictive joy.
I have Samsung laser printer for few years, and have no complains. Although it's not used much, I never replaced tonner.
And I am using it on Linux over USB cable, and that means no weird "driver" apps, so that may be part of why I have good experience.
my minor annoyance is not having a default brightness slider on windows desktop with supported monitors.
its on your keyboard right?
Yeah, it is on laptop, why cannot it be on desktop
theres an app called Twinkle Tray for windows.
Twinkletray is great for this but it would be nice to have it integrated into Windows like it is on laptops.
ClickMonitorDDC is the program with the most features I know to control you displays (eh brightness contrast, input etc)
Gripe to consider: the incredible difficulty of changing your timezone in windows if it decides you shouldn't do that right now
I just use powershell nowadays. I totally forgot how to do that in GUI and I'm not going to attempt to find it, provided it's not even greyed out.
Really? I right click the time in the bottom right, go into settings and turn off the "Set time automatic" and then I can pick whichever time zone I want.
It changes right away with no hassle. Maybe this is an user problem?
@@Zefar77 to be blunt, honest and downright brutal - alot of these issues are User Error/Ignorance/Complaining
@@jvcobREverything is a user error depending on how you look at it. Because for everything you could have known that that doesn't work and used some sort of workaround. But that isn't fair to users imo. Windows often changes random settings that break stuff. Like the W11 24H2 update now requiring SMB signing and deactivating SMBv1. They argued because of safety, but windows doesn't get to decide shit like that. If you are a company you pay someone who knows better and if you are a home user noone is gonna hack into your network and do a man in the middle attack on you NAS. That is just a stupid windows decision once again
@@Zefar77 windows servers have this greyed out
30:50 Firefox has containers and profiles which are two different things.
Profiles in firefox are currently very clunky but are scheduled to get an update to make them more usable withing the next few months.
Edit: the new profiles have reached minimal viable product status and are getting a tiny rollout starting in January with 0.5% of users getting them for testing purposes. It will be rolled out to more people once it's more complete.
Containers on the other hand are pretty nice to use. Basically you can either set a certain tab, or certain websites to always open in a certain container and that container can then have different account logins from other containers.
So if you want a different account for different Google services you can make different containers for them.
Similarly if you have a work and a personal account you can just use a work container and a personal container etc.
I switched to Firefox because Google doesn't think this is an important feature
The entire reason I use Firefox is for it's Containers. They are flipping amazing.
Firefox meanwhile has the most garbage syncing
I've heard Linus talk about manufacturing a thousand times, today it finally clicked how complicated it is for them to make their products
THANK YOU to whoever pointed out Linus' sleeve, that was driving me nuts the entire show 😂
11:40 I think I have an idea why time and language is on the first page: for the same reason that many websites have the language option at the very top. Say that for some reason you are on the wrong language, like if the localization reverted back to English but you only speak polish, or like if your buddy played you a prank and switched your computer to mandarin; you want to absolutely minimize the steps it takes to change back into the correct language because if you are in the wrong one navigating any kind of menu can be hard
Plausible. Also possibly because all other settings can be categorised while remaining intuitive
To be 100 honest.....When I was doing this channel.....Luke, and everyone else. I am blessed for all the experience in tech i have ever been apart of ever. I wish i retained a lot of it but with Pc builds, prop builds, Blender, Davinci resolve, Sewing for wardrobe.....Its been insane to have to retain all that as well be able to create....I wish I took more time with notes and had video of me doing it instead of the cool linus....I can read my body language better,

KDE connect is genuinely 1 of my fav apps ever, highly recommended. Sends files, clip board, remote control media, send a txt msg from another device via it.

14:10 i actually went over to gestures about 5 years ago and never went "back" 😂
Gestures are the way
Do you have any comments on the Honey situation that was exposed over the last few days?
@13:30 As a proud owner of a Sony Xperia 1 VI XQ-EC54 (early Christmas present), recently fully updated (Android 14), there is an option called "Side sense" that puts a sort of quick menu (looks like a partial vertical scroll bar) on one or both sides of the screen.
*Flicking that bar down acts as a back button.*
The position is configurable and I think the apps are too but haven't tested it thoroughly yet. The option to activate/configure it is in "Settings"->"System"->"Gestures"->"Side Sense"
I'm insane enough to design and make my own titanium screws for my bicycles. So I might buy your insane cable.
Luke, the RUclips workout community is in desperate need of more influencers that aren’t horrible people. Might be a good idea.

Hearts is my jam! My Dad's side of the family plays hearts whenever we get together.
Also, you can play hearts with up to 6 players. You only select two cards to pass to accomodate the smaller hand sizes. For a 5 player game, two cards are dealt into another pile face down (known as the kitty), and whoever takes the first HEART point, also has to take the kitty and add it to their points pile. Whoevertakess the kitty does not need to show what was in the kitty. For 6 players it's the same thing but there are four cards in the kitty. It adds some risk to taking the first points, and can add some strategy.
My nitpick: RUclips changes arrow button functions - if you click on video then up-down = volume left right = skip but if you click on volume the up-down and left-right both adjust volume and click on timeline then they all skip.
Yep! Also when you first open a video page, but haven’t clicked anywhere on the player, up/down will default to skipping the timeline, until you click somewhere on the player, then, as you said, it will do volume. So I have to click on the player every video I watch to get up/down as vol, left/right as skip
Oh 100% they should just be locked, left and right for video transport and up and down to control volume, 100% of the time.
FORSURE!
Hey Linus,
Worked in big and Tall post high-school several years ago while trying to figure out post secondary.
Your largest volumes will be 2XL, XL, and L and 3xl should be tied, more or less in this order. M and S should be your slowest sellers.
We never carried mediums or smalls in T-Shirts. The fact you do is probably making people very happy, we had requests for sizes smaller than large - but they represent an unfortunate minority in the clients we were serving.
I'm glad to check you guys have finally sold out of M's and S's on the Store, but was frustrated as I have been waiting for the restock of the XL and 2xl sizes. I've been waiting to try yours and see how they compare to my current... favourite shirts which aren't in production anymore. Its been nearly a decade and they have been holding together wonderfully for a "daily driver" shirt.
Tailscale taildrop is really nice for sharing files. The devices doesn't even need to be on the same network.
Thanks for the comment, I didn’t know about this feature. Tailscale is my finding of the year and now it’s even more useful.
Initially I thought you might change the valve seats but you explained and did right by your customer!
13:20 now I'm thinking about it, the reason why my back button is on the left is because i had an Xperia back in 2018 and i had been accustomed to its ways
To be fair, that's just the default for Android. The biggest android brand, Samsung, simply happens to default to back on the right.
Also I'm left handed so I only buy phones that only have it on the left or let me swap
@onegraham me too
Notifications over the bottom right when I just want to play a game used to wind me up, until I found a program to move it to the top

My smallest, largest Nitpick:
When you Ctrl-A to select all in a text field... but the application doesn't have that coded and nothing happens. It's especially bad when this changes between release versions.
I'm looking at you, iTunes for Windows.
You... can Ctrl-A to select all? How is the fuck did i not know this?!

Tech gripe: Windows sound device vs communication device. Why does it even exist?? How many people need those outputs to be separate? Should I be using my headphones for communication and speakers for game sounds? That makes no sense, just add a checkbox to ALWAYS keep device/communication device in-sync.
An extreamly minor nitpick. When I click on a video to play in the RUclips sidebar, the ad at the top of the page sometimes changes, which shifts the video down or up. This can cause me to click on the wrong video. Also, the recommended videos sometimes change when I return to the page using the back button, which makes it difficult to find the video I wanted to watch.
open the other video you want to watch in another window, that works
I honestly really really liked the interrogation section of that USB stick video. The whole video was just really fun
Terry Fox on the $5 is 30 years overdue. Better late than never.
After having done many games of cards nights the most mind blowing thing Linus has ever said (in my opinion) is about crazy eights, not one person I’ve ever met in the wild knew about this game yet somehow across the pacific Linus knows about the same game I teach people. This truly is one of the most mind blowing things I’ve seen in a video for real like it’s literally nothing I know but too wild for me
Tech gripe: On windows 11, if you go full screen in an app, it immediately unsnaps the window. RUclips window scaling also doesn’t work properly at high monitor resolutions and it’s even more infuriating that this issue was temporarily fixed for a month or so before being reverted back for no reason what so ever.
Signal works for sharing on Mac, Windows, Linux, Android, iOS, Everything. Just do it! Lol
As far as I"m concerned HP already downgrades printer features by making us unable to make adjustments to background color and changes to grey scale instead of black typeface, or selectively remove images and photos from docs before printing them or easily print to half pages, etc. like we used to be able to do to save lots of ink clear back as early as the 90's.
Speaking of computer sleep problems. Ever since I replaced my HDD with an SSD, my computer stopped going to sleep. I can put it to sleep manually, but it won't do it on its own, and I can't figure out why.
Listening to how you believe employees should be treated makes me so jealous. I wish all employers would treat people like valuable humans.

For the no-show to booked session, you could just make it so that the first time they no-show (without cancelling an hour or more before, as a way to avoid the "punishment") they can't use the online booking for a week. The second time they can't use the online booking for 2 weeks, third time, 4 weeks, fourth time, 8 weeks. Then it suddenly becomes very problematic _for them_ to no-show. Doubling the time they can't use the booking system for each infraction.
And you could even add in that every x amount of time the "counter" goes down by one, so if someone no-shows once but then don't do that for x amount of time after that then they're back to their next no-show only giving them 1 week of not being able to use the online booking. Oh, and time spent in "booking jail" obviously shouldn't count for that. Might be hard to fully implement, though.
Seems the most fair and still punishing system to me.
On Linux, it actually shows you which app is preventing sleep, and allows you to temporarily or permenantly ignore it. It just adds a little "X is blocking sleep for Y reason".
1:05:54 My high school banned playing cards because "gambling". But playing the same games with a deck of UNO was perfectly fine.

My gripe with RUclips: on mobile with premium if you are watching videos with the queue and close out of the app part way through, the video you were on doesn’t show up in your history. Only videos you completely finish watching do. Doesn’t happen if you aren’t using the queue.
Are you actually looking at the history and not just the preview of the history which groups playlists? (I assume internally the queue is handled as playlist on the fly). Either tab on the history title to open it or look at yt com / feed / history
