hello and welcome to the Linus tech tips sir Linus media group whatever Q&A video in this video I posted a thread on the forum and then post it on Twitter and had all that kind of stuff and had people ask random members of the team questions grabbed questions from that list on the forum and then went around asking everybody what the I don't know the questions ask them the questions and they answered the questions it's relatively simple concept this is a Q&A let's get started the Coolermaster mastercase 5 lets you make your mid-tower pc case your own with a variety of modular parts and accessories click the link in the video description down below to learn more oh yeah I definitely Drive the pink Civic and I wouldn't say that I get more attention than I'd like I mean I'm the kind of person who goes and puts my face all over the internet for 2 million people to you know watch me do embarrassing crap or yeah driving around in a pink car is the least of my concerns I we would love to do more factory tours it just really depends on what brands allow us to tour their factories like there's a lot that goes into the planning and the approval process and all that because not that many brands actually want to show off what goes on behind the scenes you know if there's anything less than perfection from a QC side that reflects poorly on them so I'm talking to a few people right now maybe expect to see something within the first half of next year but yeah we definitely want to do some more factory tours they hang out a myth here so the RSI is a lot better I've been using a Powerball lately you can look it up it's like a little gyroscope it's very powerful it gets spinning really fast it exercises every single muscle in your forearm and I've been using that at least once a week also working out helps a lot and also I changed my mouse to something that is more ergonomic I can work and get back to work now well founded in Australia that's were originated and it never been there and then it made its way over here to Canada with the Australian people and I started to mimic it from those Aussie folks those lovely chaps but I don't know I just used to live where there's lots of Aussie people at the ski hill so I thought their accent was cool so I tried doing it myself subconsciously pretty much any accent I just subconsciously started talking like that in my own head if I'm around somebody long enough ah so that was a great deal the 8 SSD array back when I bought it would have been considered a smoking hot deal because I got the SSDs which were like a car easy blowout price with a promo on top of it and I bought it at my staff discount which was way lower than what we were selling them for it doesn't happen very often and I paid just under a dollar per gig for about a terabyte of SSD storage and then on top of that I bought a RAID controller card for about five or six hundred dollars so the whole thing came to about 1,500 or about a dollar and a half per gig for storage that was faster than anything that came out for like three to four years after that we have received some negative feedback due to Linus's antics in the past but my response is always like if you sponsor this channel that's what you're gonna get and then don't really hear much back and they usually keep sponsoring the channel so um yes I'm going to do more videos on the channel I have a Meccano GK 15 whatever coming up robot and I'm also going to do the fly Kleiss scooter sort of a thing it's got a powered electronic wheel in the back which is both of them are actually spoiler alert kind of disappointing and then other robot videos I have planned for later as well you know basically robots like robots whenever I have time dog there's no plan just winging it every day keeping it fresh keeping it fun keeping it real those are the only things that we plan on doing at channel super fun and doing your best every day reaching for the stars try and hard to do the best job that you can do at what you're doing ah uh basically that what else can you what else can you say I don't want to give you some plan like you have you've got a 5-year plan it's actually really structured out there's a whole graph and pie chart and pie graph and pie something I don't know I didn't even know I'd be doing this last year what do you think I'm gonna be doing next year I don't know I could be doing something crazy so keep your eye out for some crazy stuff just go down Taron dog right now we use Windows Movie Maker obviously it's just it's the best because it comes with Windows so that's very convenient I think that was all I wanted to say about that do I find myself becoming exhausted from video editing not really it's it's exhausting in a different way right because you're sitting down all day yes we can stand up and down with us up desks mostly I found myself sitting down and what I'll do is um every time that I finish a video I will set it to render and then I'll go bother Brandon I'll stand up and I'll walk around and that helps a lot in fact I kind of want us to get a little bit of like light workout equipment so we can just like do some pull-ups or something like halfway through the day you know that'll keep you like it's less tiring to move your body you can start to feel your muscles just degrade if you don't use them yeah I do have a personal YouTube channel it's it's dumb you won't like it it's just about how premier is missing a lot of features and has a lot bugs and I just complain endlessly about all of the problems with premiere some people find it very enjoyable there's also a tutorial three and a half hours long if you want to watch to that on that channel you know check it out if you want I guess if you're into premiere who would be the best settings forward Media encoder for outputting videos are the presets because they already exist it takes no effort if we stop doing sponsored content we would not be able to pay anyone so all the channels would pretty much die honestly I think that's something that's always come pretty easily for me because for one thing I used to work for a retailer so every video I ever did was effectively sponsored like I got paid a paycheck to make the videos so really nothing has changed in that regard to me insurance you know it's Squarespace now or whatever but it's it's all basically the same thing and then number two is that I follow the valve principle that they at least say if not necessarily following through on it all the time and that's that you can't lie or try and deceive the internet because if you do they will catch you and they will never forget so I've always taken that very seriously it's it's even if I was a dishonest person what would be the point of trying to keep that from people because they're just gonna catch me and it's gonna make it 10 times worse when they do I don't really have plans to be sponsored for csgo right now but there might be something in the works in the near future it's unlikely that there will be a video with me rapping in it again although I may sing again at some point I do have kind of an idea festering in my mind for a music video that I'd like to make at some point what guys laugh that's a mystery every morning I come in and I changed for chess I changed the all those file to China I need to send in all the script and three Transco South footage to them and then I start shoot setup green screen and light and shoot and added fast as possible and I added all of those I get this question every day it's grand Twitter periscope yes I got a bad right after the vote and do I like the pad yes thank you for the bullet well to find dropped okay yes I have um but I've never damaged it because of the drum I always caught it so I've never actually successfully dropped again I held my personal cam my Blackmagic camera over a candle once to dry off water and it burnt a little bit of it so don't do that kids I think it's a good thing like the entire camera market especially for DSLRs for video has kind of was stagnating for a little while and the mirrorless cameras give you the ability to do so many different things that you can't do with DSLR and companies like Sony are actually pushing the camera industry forward unlike Canon who are I don't really know what they're doing but they're not really adding much to the current market Wow tips for starting your own business that's a great question um the answer is really different depending on a lot of different factors like I was at this talk that Gary Vaynerchuk was giving and some guys like can you help me save my business I bought a a small free to distribute magazine and we're struggling and Gary Vee is like I'm sorry to hear that man you got to have a good you have a good business idea and that if you do than the advice that I can give is go all-in because otherwise if you accept failure as a possibility then I think that leaves that's just an excuse to allow it to happen I think keeping our opinion out of the sponsorship spots is really about maintaining an appropriate expectation with the sponsor I mean whether it's a Corsair or it's a Intel or whoever else they understand that our editorial content is separate from our advertising content and it always will be and as long as they know that going in then when and if they complain hey you know um the answer is well that was our opinion so TS and you can either continue to advertise with us and get access to our gigantic audience which by the way we wouldn't have if we didn't give our honest opinion about things or you cannot and that would be find him and so far I think we're at like 95 plus percent sponsor retention so they've all decided that us being honest with our viewers is more important than you know us always sugarcoating everything look Colton hey what's up question for you it's question what are you doing your average day at work I manage the company emails I reach up to new clients and I manage old clients I'm an Account Manager and uh I do a lot of other random crap - how do they get to copyright strikes on the channel as a very good question um pure stupidity I would say doing probably doing a bunch of them in a day yeah I just mixed a mixed one I mixed two of them up you know like one month span so luckily I still have my job to get a job here what happened was - posted a video saying that he was looking for an assistant I was currently in school and looking for a part-time job he was looking for part-time hours so I was like hey this might actually legitimately work and I live relatively close to where I would be working so I shot in a resume I was not the most qualified he was looking mainly for someone to shoot and edit things I had literally never filmed a video using any device in my entire life and I had never edited any video on any system in my entire life but just like kind of faked it by showing him still shot images that I had taken and then put my computer on my resume my computer was mineral oil cooled fish tank you probably find it in the video up here someone will put it up there yeah so he brought me in more just to like talk to the dude that made a mineral oil computer than a serious interview but then hours later the video interview finally ended and I somehow got the job so here we are I do not think that leaving school to work at this company from the start or whatever was a bad idea I think it was a good idea I don't think that it would have been a good idea for everyone in similar scenarios we had a pretty good base to work on and it was still a huge gamble sometimes I do wish that I just stayed and actually got my degree being that far in and then not getting my degree was a little bit frustrating I do kind of plan on maybe going back and finishing off an engineering engineering degree at some point in time but yeah I don't think overall that it was a mistake I do definitely think it was right to go with this company I enjoy my job and it's going very well but yeah I would like to finish off the great assembly so my decision to pursue tech as a career really happened by accident I mean I was really passionate about games and gaming so I started doing things like upgrading computers and then from there I just really liked it and in a very short period of time I went from being a gamer who tinkers with his computer to make his games run better to really being a computer tinkerer who ran games periodically even though I'm not very good at them as an excuse to have a hot rod in computer and I'm really not sure exactly how it happened but part of it came from my passion for helping people of things I was actually a member of the NCIX tech tips forum with like six or seven thousand posts or something along those lines just from just to talk about any excuse to talk about computers it was someone wanting to pick a video card or someone wanting help reformatting their hard drive I was like yeah I can talk about computers if I type an answer to this question so it just kind of snowballed from there I got kind of good at it and Here I am today squirtle is still alive and running I actually have a lot of new parts for squirtle not all the new parts for squirrel that I want but quite a few of them a big part of the reason why we haven't had an update on it is that well one the plan changed I'm now actually going in a case not just going to be on a test bench I have the case I have a lot of the other components but two three I don't know whatever we've been plugged with videos for the holiday season the holiday season like October November December are all our busiest months so probably in the next couple months after CES we will maybe hopefully see another squirtle update there will be another squirtle update it's a little different having to share my office because I will got very used to being alone over the like probably always that year and a half that I worked alone but it's actually really nice having a close-knit team and being able to work with John in the same room is actually really helpful we bounce ideas off each other we work on things together he helps me out I like to think that I help him out I like working with the team I like the team floor aspect I like the idea of new companies or a huge group of people work in one area so I've got one working on it maybe there'll be more people in the future so here I have two major things I usually take care of one of them is benching um there's usually when I'm benching stuff I'll try to choose a number of tests based on what exactly isn't trying to find out um sometimes I'll do synthetics or sometimes I'll do like a load test to test things like he power draw that kind of I've um recently I started doing stuff more inside the case I would get um the other thing that I do a lot of obviously is riding of the may try door for fast as possible I also do some writing for LTP as well on deployment you know sometimes if I get a topic that I know a lot about I could just kind of go it's willing the problem a couple debuffing wrong sometimes I'll choose a topic based on oh if it's more technical thing that I bring onward because really you're just presenting the results but there is a little more to it than that have some information about what your practice is that what I try to do is find a way to make the numbers meaningful interpretive somehow say this is fake I'm also the one who makes all the graphs for the video so like you know I try my best to come up with a with a good conclusion David besides that I do like some general sort of tech support stuff around here nothing but yeah that's pretty much what I do here and I hope I answered your question thanks for checking out the form so the OTT forum today I would view it as kind of a little bit stagnant in the public eye I'm going to say public eye specifically because this is the Alpha forum and this is the currently viewable public forum this has been being worked on by a little bit myself not much though largely cat with a smiley face kernel mortis and blade of grass and this will be being pushed out to the the main site actually relatively soon if you're on YouTube maybe by the time you see this video but we've been saying for a long time now is in the suggestions for features thread and all that kind of stuff like hold up we're waiting for the new forum this is it this is the new forum so we will hopefully finally be implementing some really cool stuff that we've been wanting to for a really long time for a camera videos I hope I do a lot more I want to have a bunch of ideas that I want to do and stuff I want to try as for NAB I hope we go I'm like 90% sure that we will but we'll see the exact URLs of my youtube intuition as well twitch is relatively easy it's twitch TV slash loop underscore LAF are on there every Friday after the land show I do a game stream and usually on Sundays I like to do an editing stream where I edit something from my personal YouTube channel and on other random days I usually play games or edit videos or even 3d print things sometimes my youtube channel I just recently got a custom URL for so it's youtube.com slash c / Luke laughs reignier on there right now I'm just kind of throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what works so I've got an ice bucket challenge a random joke video with my mom unboxing and reviewing a computer myself getting stuck on a bridge and a vlog I'm planning
