and I think it's time for our Friday livestream welcome guys this is going to be um this is gonna be a bit of an interesting video so we have a couple of main objectives first I just want to thank TC Helicon for sponsoring the video Oh Oh wrong one and we all knew that was gonna happen I was gonna screw that up so this is their go XLR and it's the product that we're actually using to capture audio for this and it can do a lot more than that we'll talk a bit more about the features later but first we're gonna open this thing up but before we do that even I also wanted to just say sort of why we are why we're doing this video so over the last I'd say about three months we well no not over the last three months so over the last couple of years we have taken a lot of negative feedback about the way that we've been titling our videos so sometimes I'd say that it's not really fair so we'll call a video something along the lines of here I'm just I'm pulling up the YouTube dashboard here I think this is the right scene cool yeah no yes that scene I'm gonna just throw a filter on actually here I think I have this one already yep cool so this is the the new YouTube studio for those of you who aren't familiar I really really don't like it but it has this cool filter here so that we won't see any of the embargoed videos that we have for you know testing purposes or whatever else will only see real stuff that we upload so sometimes I think it's it's not really fair you know so the weirdest video card we've ever seen and we've got in the thumbnail here it's it's kind of hard to see from here maybe we can open up this in a new tab so we've got a picture of a graphics card and then we've got a picture of an Ethernet cable next to it and that is in my opinion completely fair and representative of the content of that video that video is about the weirdest graphics card foreseen because instead of outputting to HDMI or DVI or DisplayPort or any kind of traditional display interface it outputs via ethernet and then it has these special Ethernet to HDMI adapter x' on the other end that will translate that signal into something that a display can understand however there have also been cases where I think that the criticism has been fair there's there situations where we've pushed it a little bit too far so I'll see if I can find an example of that sorry Razer I'm not switching now I mean I'm clearly holding a laptop here the desk fan for gaming some people wind about the fastest Xbox of all time I thought that was fine I mean it's an Xbox enclosure yes it's not strictly speaking an Xbox anymore because we did take out all the components and put a PC inside but I mean is the fastest Xbox of all time it is it is what you think you know what there's actually there's actually a threat on the forum where someone outlined a couple of things this is Romano 2k not not a sort of huge contributor to the forum or anything in fact I think they just signed up to complain about this but that I think is demonstrative of how important it is for us to address this so basically Romano to case says I won't click we never expected Nvidia to allow this how has everyone overlooked this why would you even Razer thought this was a good idea or I can't believe this while saying that a little bit clicky you know water-cooled smartphone alien where's crazy upgradable laptop you know says that that that's okay so here's a situation we actually created a video boat man it must have been that's been about a year and a year ago year and a half ago addressing the the more clicky thumbnails that we've been using clicky thumbnails and titles that we'd been using on our videos saying why we were doing it explaining how the YouTube ecosystem has changed such that in order to continue to grow and continue to be sustainable as a company it was something that we had identified as not necessary but certainly too helpful for us to continue to ignore however I think over the last especially over the last probably six months I mean it's not like I haven't been seeing this feedback it's just that we are completely data-driven in terms of the way that we alter our content the way that we alter our thumbnails the way we alter our titles pretty much everything we do is driven by data in some way shape or form so until about the last three months we didn't have any data to support that this was having some kind of a negative impact we did have people complaining about it and we obviously take in those data points but the actual YouTube analytics so you know you're the things that you can identify you're like dislike or that you can quantify you're like dislike ratio on your video the retention of your video the overall viewership of the channel the rate at which people are subscribing the rate at which people are unsubscribing and even the demographics of your audience we hadn't seen anything to support that some kind of change was necessary over the last few months we've actually slumped a little bit I don't know if you guys notice I I think that it's the kind of thing that we obsess about here but our viewers actually really aren't looking that closely at especially cuz we'll see we'll see really funny stuff like people will bill they'll post on the forum LTT is going downhill their company has six months to go because of these decisions that they're making and it's bad and you know meanwhile we will like it just actually happened that such threads have popped up literally on the heels like the day after we have our highest recorded day for overall viewership or like our highest overall day for new subscribers or whatever it is where the audience is clearly growing and clearly engaged but over the last few months we have actually slumped a fair bit now we we reversed it a few days ago but one thing that it's done is it's made me a really look inward at what we can do to alter the content and alter the way that we engage with our audience one of the things that is not going away is sponsored videos so I'm definitely going to walk you guys through the go XLR why don't we take an opportunity to do that now and then what you guys are gonna do with me over the next probably half an hour or so is we are gonna work together to fix some of the titles on the Linus tech tips channel so on this monitor here I've got up our channel analytics and everything the the channel page so we can go through and quickly make these changes and then on my laptop here I've got both floatplane chat and YouTube chat opens so that I can see your guys suggestions and we can achieve a couple of things number one is we can improve the relationship that we have you guys have complained we hear you we're going to fix this number two we can address something that has actually been a problem internally as well and that is the search ability of our older videos we've run into situations where we want to refer back we want to pull footage from an old video referring back to something that we've said or something that we've done and we haven't been able to find the bloody video and you know obviously with the way that search on YouTube has become increasingly less important why don't we just say decreasingly important not grammatically correct but we're gonna go with it with the way that search has become continually less and less important compared to related videos suggested videos all the ways that YouTube algorithmically serves content to the viewer base honestly those less searchable titles haven't affected things much is it's shocking actually how little that has impacted viewership so it's it's more about just making it easier for us to find stuff making it easier for those that those small number of people who really want to go back and find one of our old videos and just saying like look guys we hear you we need to fix this so the compromise that I'm going to propose is action something that we have already begun to implement over the last I'd say I mean it's something that we've done off and on actually pretty much all the time even with some of the really clickable stuff but it's something that we're going to commit to keeping this way moving forward with that said if things change very dramatically and all of a sudden like it doesn't work at all I'm not locking myself into this I'm just saying we hear you guys and we're gonna do this we're gonna do our best to do this so we're gonna do away with titles like this fool me once now in my defense that video was about a product where the brand reached out to me told me it was amazing flew all the way to my studio demoed it for me and it was terrible and then they did the same thing on a show floor they pulled me into their booth telling me it was going to be amazing so that that really was representative of at least if nothing else my feelings about the experience of this company however it's just not descriptive enough so here's the compromise we will leave something clickable something enticing because the reality of it is if we just put product model number review impressions first look it we're not gonna grow we might even shrink that might actually spell the end of us over the long term I'm sorry but that's the way YouTube works but what we can do is we can go PI max aka VR headset first impressions that way everything stays searchable and we are still able to do what we have to do because that's the way YouTube is so I'm just gonna go ahead and go back to the beginning here so you guys all have probably seen this on the last few videos that we've done so yesterday's video is a classic example if we had called this video running Mac OS in a virtual machine which if we're being go yourself that's that's a feature of this go XLR by the way I'm using one of them right now I will I will get to like what I'm doing with this thing a little bit later but uh anyway if we had called it that we might have expected that video to perform about average and this is something we really do have a lot of experience with whereas if we call it Apple won't like this everyone's gonna be like Oh what won't have to like because people can't help themselves but again the compromise here is Apple won't like this - so that's going to be the way that we're going to denote the clickable title from the what the heck we're actually doing title we go run Mac OS on any PC and that is what we're doing because of the magic of virtualization hackintosh inge becomes something that you can not only do but thanks to the fact that when you virtual eyes you don't have to worry so much about platform specific tweaks that have to be done every time Apple updates their OS it's just this one that needs to be updated and maintained the chances of that hackintosh remaining usable over a long period of time are much better so that that is our point that's fundamentally what we're trying to say now I've had a lot of people okay you know what I'll get into this later I promised I was gonna I was gonna open up the glass floor so this thing is really cool basically what it does is it's not cheap like it's about four hundred US dollars for one of these puppies Jake do you mind taking that thank you sir it's about four hundred US dollars for one of these but it takes the place of a good number of other devices that you would otherwise need so if you want to use an XLR microphone you're going to need an XLR interface because your computer doesn't natively have just like an XLR input on the back of it if it's a if it's a normal computer you're also going to need depending on your XLR mic many of them are going to need a preamp you also may depending on how sort of sophisticated you want your audio setup to be you also may want compression for a gate so this is meant to be the one-size-fits-all of all of that functionality oh right and also a mixer in practice how it works is actually quite a bit cooler than that so instead of doing any of the any of the features that it has instead of doing them in software it's all handled by dedicated Hardware within this thing and it's got a bunch of additional like voice effects you can it's got a sampler hold on a second this is really great so if I was to say something like Jake sucks then I'd be able to make Jake socks like Jake socks oh I got the timing just wrong that's ok anyway so you've got you can censor yourself you can sample things you can add effects and the really kind of killer thing that absolutely blew us away was actually on the software side so they've got this software interface here I'm going to go ahead and pull up this so they've got this this software application but what's cool about it is everything that one moment please what just fell I heard shattering okay good the the quasar did not break it was only the fat picture frame okay anyway man sorry guys I had nothing to do with that let the record show I had nothing to do with that anyway back to this so what's cool about their software is that it's all just control of the dedicated audio processing hardware that's within the go XLR so you can do all kinds of stuff like I could adjust my bass to go heavier towards the art might be my bass my voice to go heavily on the bass side I could remove treble the problem for me is that sorry put this back the problem for me is if I do that actually completely removes play it's just kind of a shame I can adjust my compressor including all the functionality that you'd get off of like a standalone hardware compressor okay not all of it but a lot of it all the key important stuff gating right here de-essing okay mixing so this is pretty sweet see all these controls over here so you got your mic your chat your music whether it's something like Spotify or something else that use for music all of these so all of these outputs and all of your inputs can be completely reassigned so let's go ahead and go over to the routing thing here so this is really cool you've got your outputs which are controlled with your little sliders here so I'm gonna adjust my microphone you can see here boom a little something like that I can mute it check this out the the knob goes all the way down and then all the way back up so it's a like totally unnecessarily cool thing I've seen this on mixers before but I guess they were like what the hey we could do it why not pretty cool and then you can adjust whether it's okay here why don't we go ahead and fire up some music here's a song I know we have the right sport so I've adjusted it so that music here we go goes to my line out hold on a second here we go broadcast remix so can they not hear music anymore theoretically I think big can sorry what's that we're using line out okay so I can new music for you and then I could listen to it myself I can put the music on for me and mute it for myself and I can make all these adjustments in part because the way that they've configured it's like like it's just a USB interface but it creates all of these like virtual interfaces so I'm gonna fire up sound settings that's what I'm just gonna turn the music down mute that so check this out you fire up your different apps you go okay ah Spotify oh it's not working because I didn't change it ah so output there we go is go XLR music there we go know that I can leave it default yeah there we go alright cool so now I can adjust it dang it I am muted right now there's our problem there we go sick so I can control where it goes so now I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna take it off of the off of the line out boom or I can have it on my headphones yes everything's working now good I in less flustered now I can if I just wanted music for my stream but I don't actually want to hear it because I want to focus on my game I can go ahead and turn it off for myself and then I can just easily adjust all my levels adjust them turn it off check it again turn it down okay like that so much it's pretty freakin sick all right yes everything is working exactly the way it's supposed to know Jake is there anything else that's really cool that I should show them in the software oh yeah that's really cool okay so if we go into system lighting uh sorry oh sorry mixer lighting there we go mixer lighting so by default the the LEDs here that are on the side of each of the sliders are just indicating your volume which to me is not necessarily that useful so you can adjust that and you can I have the scaling really wonky on this monitor actually don't can I move over oh if I had logged back out and log back in I probably wouldn't have this problem right now that is that is quite unfortunate out of 10 and I can't even get down to the thing to just see oh yes yes scrolling does it yay okay cool so you can change the style to meter and then now you can guys can actually see here that you're getting levels on here instead so I can do the same thing for can you make it a gradient oh okay oh that's pretty cool so it goes from blue to red so bottom color we could go green and then top color we could go red hello hello hello just like that pretty cool right and then we can do the same thing on our music so if I were to turn my not meet my music same thing cool right uh what else should I show them what else is like kind of critical yeah the effects are pretty cool so if you press the FX button I apologize in advance I'm just gonna switch out to here actually no I'll leave it I'll leave it robust so I'm gonna go to the effects button I don't know what we sorry guys we were kind of playing around with this before the stream so there's a reverb dial here you don't you don't have to use that though we can we can turn the reverb all the way down there's echo Wow there's the pitch adjustment so you can turn your pitch up like this or you can turn it a little down like this and again these are all Hardware applied effects as opposed to being handled in software and taking our pressure CPU cycles while you're trying to stream I'm gonna turn that back up to normal there's also kind of just some you know you can say okay I want to be robot now this is the kind of thing that I think for a lot of streamers is not going to be a huge deal but for others if they're if you're like I don't know if you're one of those like GTA 5 role players for example or something like that you want to alter your voice depending on what character you're playing they've got six different presets up here and then all these different adjustments that you can make so you can just kind of have fun with it I guess one of the one of the coolest things for me is actually this button right here so this is the swear button so if I was to say something like Jake you duck up again then you can actually you can actually self censor and I mean sensors it's just fun because even if you're not even swearing it's just like you know what I just think and and I've never even seen anyone get like sensory it's just funny I love it also fun to play with is the sampler so the way that one works is you go ahead and you think you're gonna say something funny like like whoa oh shoot I didn't clear that one so you clear them by pressing clear and then clearing the button you've also got three different sort of layers of these and then you can use the software to create multiple profiles so you can depending on what game you're playing or if there's like certain buddies that you want to have your you know your troll samples ready or whatever you can have different profiles for that so you just be like you know like headshot like headshot but headshot headshot no whatever whatever you're into right so that's that's pretty fun as well um anything else critical that I did I kind of missed here I said it's expensive yeah right yeah so that's a good point so yes it's expensive but all that audio hardware does cost a lot of money and is quite a bit more complicated to set up this was simple enough that I was able to figure it out and I think any of our longtime viewers will know that my track record for live streaming audio is not fantastic I think would be a nice way of putting it not fantastic it's it's all you need you just grab an XLR microphone you can even use it with a USB microphone as long as it has like a three-and-a-half millimeter monitor out so it has like a line in and all that can be reassigned in the software and you can remap it and it's not complicated which is which is pretty sweet so the way we have our sliders setup are for my microphone so just like that we've got music which I've got turned off because we don't need to listen to slew supernova for this entire stream we've got chat which I actually don't think does anything for us right now and then we've got system so if I was to just you know hit the windows volume check just like that cool right alright so now why don't we get into then helping me rename our videos I'm gonna start with like how far back do we want to go here alright oh cool actually that is an amazing example of when this would be useful so I fired up this the stream window here and it's like oh shoot oops boom system is an amazing example or muted yes yes fun um wait oh right they couldn't I was looking at your thing okay yeah anyway sorry I had the I opened up flow plane because I wanted to be able to see the chat there and the stream was actually live this actually looks pretty good good work you guys okay so how far back do we want to go I'm watching you guys I've got floatplane and YouTube side-by-side and I think oh sorry sorry I was trying to window snap that that did not work that worked better now oh no the floatplane chat is not showing when I have it to Oh Jack forgot something I have to adjust my hair oh I know this is like the worst haircut I've had in a while like check this out so just like look how uneven that is it's like they weren't even trying so I told them I wanted it like a like a finger length and a half when they then they cut it and so they took the front and we're just like yeah it seems about right and then did the whole rest of it like evenly see but then this is just like random so I'm just I'm gonna grab some scissors and fix it myself like literally groans man and cutting my own hair alright so let's do it let's uh let's go let's go back I think where it's gonna be easier for us to find like really egregious examples if we move a little bit further back oh did I know I didn't the Oh Oh okay that's that's possible I left the trouble up no I didn't oh shut up okay yeah I'll do that yeah I did I did not that is just actually what my voice sounds like and that's with like a really nice microphone oh alright so I'm going back about I don't know this is I hate the new dashboard so much okay so we're going back to about why don't we go back to last year and I'll let you guys kind of tell me which ones you think are really bad and which ones you think are all right then this is gonna be tough because I'm gonna have a hard time figuring out like which what these videos were actually about in some cases so one plus six leaks confirmed hands on that that seemed pretty fair Jake you can also you can also weigh in on these if you want yeah that's an LTTE video as opposed to what else would you think so it was a hands on with the phone okay so first impressions I think first impressions so this was at their this was at their their show floor if I recall correctly okay first impressions okay one plus six quality control exposed I think it's pretty fair to say a couple of things here number one that it wouldn't have done four point three million views if we had called it one plus factory tour but I think it's also fair to say that that was not not necessarily the most representative hold on I'm just gonna for some reason flow plans not do anything maybe get rid of the exposed yeah I don't even okay so here's the thing I don't want to adjust the titles too much because you never know YouTube claims but it doesn't matter YouTube claims it makes no difference I think that's BS like adjusting a videos titles after the facts because we have run into examples where we've adjusted titles and it does seem to have a profound effect on the performance of the video but I want to make sure that in all cases there's something properly descriptive that's in the title so I think if we just changed it to 1 + factory tour at the end does that seem fair people don't like exposed you know what's funny is I actually with the CE o ZZ Co oh I can't remember fee Co o or CEO but one of their c-level executives I over this word as well they were not stoked on it and I have I've put a lot of effort into using that word people want revealed okay well fine floatplane I mean the point of us doing this together is that I will give in and I will do I will do what you guys ask so fine I guess we don't really need one plus can I call it an epic factory tour it was pretty awesome what you think can I get away with that I'm Jake's nodding you know what I'm gonna do it unless you guys are like really really mad about epic okay fine let's move on to the next one save money on RAM with op teen okay what this was was a sponsored showcase from Intel where we demonstrated that with obtain you can you know what was our point here oh no oh yeah that's right oh I can't believe Intel sponsored this they've actually in the last year I think they've I think it's fair to say they've gotten a little more conservative about their product messaging because we were using obtained as a as like a ram disk or something weren't we what are we doing with it yeah it was not it was not like a supported use case that really was kind of a crazy experiment okay floatplanes telling me they want intel in there saying that title is fine put showcase in the title you know what that is that is a fair point octane I save money I'm around with obtained showcase yeah we can throw intel showcase in there alright that's fair let's do it cuz that's really the only thing that's non-descriptive about that although in fairness to us thanks to Intel for sponsoring this video we do a pretty good job of making sure that that stuff is above the fold cutting open a laser key switch bloody gaming LK switch showcase I think that's pretty good as it is I'm not gonna bother with LAN show guys just to be clear LAN show is what it is if you click on LAN show not knowing that you're clicking on LAN show then you you get what's coming to you I think to a certain extent what the heck is an AI phone on our 10 showcase that seems pretty fair to me yeah 1 plus 6 review top notch that seems fair no ok alright I'm gonna jump over to floatplane saying honors fair find reasonable thank you guys I'm gonna jump over to youtube over here cuz I'm sure people are like super chatting and I'm not seeing those ah no actually people people are super chatting bad haircut Linus Thank You Robin appreciate that instead of okay hold on a second this is important to address so double Pudge actually super chatted I think people complain too much and you shouldn't give in to their every issue you're right and that's why over the last two years we have continued to use clickable titles because without them we wouldn't be able to sustain the 25 people that work here and I know there's people who disagree that we should have 25 people working here but the cold hard truth is that videos like that hackintosh one yesterday that took anthony a week I had an entire writer working on that for a week between all the prep getting it working getting all the screencap that we needed the actual shoot itself cue seeing the final video like all that stuff takes time from a quality standpoint our content is better today than it has ever been and we can't do that without the staff that we have so we we want all those people on staff but that doesn't necessarily mean that till right so we do have to take advantage of well every advantage we can get whether it's a title or thumbnail or whatever the case may be but we also can't lose track of the fact that without our audience we don't get to do this none of us all the way from our brand new hires who can't have their names out there yet because they're still on probation through to Anthony who's been here for almost two and a half years now to me I founded the company none of us could do this without our community and so we have to ignore the haters you know the one offs but this has been something that has been such a sustained criticism and not just from people who are like but people who are putting together a very cogent arguments for why we should address it that we just we can't we cannot ignore it we have to we have to respect our audience because without them or nothing let's go ahead and jump over to the screen again one plus six review top notch I think that's fine I'm gonna jump back to floatplane chat since I don't see anything over here um I can see what you bought online okay so this is and I'm holding an Amazon box specifically that's for a reason so this is one of those what are our viewers buying episodes and I don't remember what we used to call them exactly because we've actually done a handful of them but I don't even really know what to put in there so I can see what you bought online so Amazon I feel like okay so this is really funny so Amazon used to call it the I like Amazon affiliate program but their contract for it which we know from experience they are very particular about enforcing prohibits us from representing ourselves as though we are affiliated with Amazon in any way which were not I'm gonna be real clear about that because I don't want to run afoul of their rules so I'm almost afraid to put Amazon affiliate in the title because they actually changed the program to Amazon Associates but people aren't gonna know what that means they're gonna be like oh uh Fillion programs so Amazon how about that viewers yeah that's a good suggestion Brian Lyon viewers Amazon purchases analyzed well look I know it's long shorter titles work better like this is this is what it is but this is a video that's probably mostly run its course by now anyway oh I remember what we called that series how about we throw viewers choice in their beers choice because that's what we had called that content previously oh oh I went and put it as dead and analyzed I'm sorry you guys I'm my bad my bad my bad okay hopefully you guys are cool with viewers choice I'm honestly happy with this title this $2,000 PC case shouldn't exist because it really shouldn't but we could put mbx mk2 in there I'm kind of tempted to call it a showcase just because that's kind of what the video content was but the problem with that is that we weren't paid for it so it's not a review because it's more of like honestly it's more of a profile of Charles through his product and I've known Charles a long time than it is an evaluation of the case in any meaningful way but you know what now flood plain says it's fine just leave it okay three security features every notebook should have HP EliteBook showcase showcase that seems pretty fair 12 kilometer Wi-Fi success this is not a sponsored thing from ubiquity the only things they provided were of course the dishes and they sent out a tech to help us which has a cost for them but not a revenue opportunity for us so I think that seems pretty fair iceberg says don't keep showcase to always mean sponsored video that really is our intent with that we want that to be really clear for our viewers when you see showcase that's your opportunity to go I want no part of it one thing where we have I think we've muddied the waters a little bit as I'm going through I'll be able to verify that but if we think something really stands alone as straight-up good enough to be a video on its own actually an example of that would be we have an upcoming video that LG sponsored but it's actually not really about LG's product that they they wanted us to to demonstrate or that they bet they're you know this video is brought to you by this product so what it is is it's a factory tour of Meridian audio who is this super high-end audio equipment manufacturer based out of the UK who LG collaborated with on their X boom Bluetooth speaker so Meridian has some of their special sauce like their their claim to fame is really their their DSPs I mean they do other stuff I mean honestly this place is incredible don't miss that tour it's a really great video anyway but but their DSPs are one of their really special sauce things that they do and they've got some of that in this X boom but the meat of the video is really this tour of Meridian audio who actually didn't pay for anything so it's like it's this weird gray area where obviously we are where we fully disclose that the video sponsored biology is within the first like 10 seconds of me talking and we do a shout out for the X boom before we cut to our animated intro and then we do functionally an integration for the X boom at the end where we talk about you know well this is everything you just saw that's why LG partnered with Meridian for the X boom so it's like sponsored by LG but it's not an LG showcase in any meaningful way yeah I don't know I'll maybe I'll cross that bridge when I get to it in the meantime cheap Aliexpress graphics cards scam that seems fairly descriptive to me and I am loath to change that title given that video did 5 million views we bought cheap graphics cards off Aliexpress and we asked are they a scam which is exactly what we were wondering Brian Leon says you know what's hilarious let's fix our clickbait titles seems like a clickbait title that's what we're doing is it not okay come on help me out here you guys okay so people are cool at that one dude raise your screw up blade 2018 classic unboxing that seems pretty fair nest cams are a big ripoff okay guys because of the stream delay when you're typing in the chat like which one you think is okay you got to let me know which one it is because some of you are gonna be more delayed than others nest cams are a big ripoff so Jake you actually worked on this video that was our clickable title because there was no way we were gonna get one-and-a-half million views and remember this it's not like people hated the video 97 percent like to just like ratio with 45 K likes that's actually really solid for a video with that many views but I think it's fair to say that we could put DIY Wi-Fi security camera guide okay sorry sorry sorry capitalize lui fee look correctly okay oh no people said the next one was fine before you know what yeah it probably was but the purpose of this exercise is to make it more descriptive why is everyone buying this tablet I'm actually particularly proud of this this particular series that we that we came up with why is everyone buying it was an excuse for us to to cover more mundane products that are just like stuff people actually want to buy without having to resort to without having to call it fire seven tablet review which no one's gonna watch no one's gonna click on it's an Amazon bestseller we could we could throw that in there people saying you should do more of those yeah we actually really should people want fire seven in there okay all right all right why is everyone buying this tablet that is on fire seven fine oh sorry I'm on the sorry I I did it I did it you guys have to take my I take my word for it there you go Amazon fire seven world's craziest five gigahertz laptop Asus g7 no 3G I don't know I think that's pretty fair that's me and Alex like cooking blowing Mitrano up to a laptop to hit five gigahertz oh wait is it the fire HD eight did I screw that up thank you I actually couldn't remember which one it was dang it why do we have fire seven in there no I think you guys might be drunk I think we might have compared it to the fire HD eight or something like that okay uh Jake can you make a note for us to figure that out later or can you check or something okay world's craziest five gigahertz laptop everyone says that one's fine cool all right completely wireless power holy oh oh nice completely wireless power holy people wanted it oh okay we're eyeless power I mean that's what it was it's wireless power no one seems to be complaining about that one why is everyone buying this TV okay yeah TCL 55 whatever 405 let's throw that in there that's what we decided was was fair for that one completely wireless power you guys want the product name the thing though is that that product name is totally non recognizable ah like what are Y charges okay okay completely wireless man how do we have why charge why charge technology like I don't know it's not a showcase so again this is one of those situations where they definitely contributed value monetarily like they paid for plane tickets for themselves to come out here bring all their stuff and do a demo for us in our studio which is very generous of them they didn't pay any money we just really wanted to feature the product so it's not a showcase ok disgruntled snowman says yes unrecognizable unless you want to buy the thing Oh unless you want to buy the thing so much fun ok fair enough fair enough ok fair enough does size really matter ok this is a fairly egregious example and honestly this video didn't even perform well so how about we just throw tubing in there and then that's probably good enough I would think you know what yeah we can remove all the caps does tubing size really matter no you don't want the caps in there either does water cooling well ok what do you want can we have really matter is really matter ok do you want it all capitalized oh ok yeah so we haven't okay we don't have a set in stone way of handling capitalization in our titles sometimes we treat them like there are sentence other times we treat them like they're a title in this question because this is a complete sentence sometimes the temptation is to not capitalize it whereas if we were to call it okay water cooling tube sighs does it matter that I would I would say I would capitalize correctly you know what that seems pretty good I'm gonna go with that Chloe says I agree with Jake lmao fine okay for tonight on the God of gaming monitors yeah this this was not yeah what is this model called it's a Seuss PG whatever the crap yeah let's put that in there yeah let's put that in there 4k 144 Hertz yeah okay this was I believe first look this remove four okay come on guys can I have a kind of have a look at I think fortnight but we don't play apex legends okay that that is clickbait that's misleading if we were to put Apex legends in there after the fact although that would be brilliant remove fortnight guys come on okay look look okay here's the thing Chloe says fortnight equals biggest clickbait that's not fair if you play fortnight on it it's not click bait that's something that has made it I'd say easier for me to ignore community feedback about the thanks Jake thank you for that that's something that has made it so that I've kind of gone yeah community feedback maybe they're not really right about this because a lot of the times things get called clickbait when they're not clickbait is defined as something that is misleading you are baiting cliques by misleading the viewer into thinking that it's something that it's not we played fortnight on that monitor and I could make a pretty strong argument for especially at that time remember this isn't June last year that being the God of gaming monitors no clickbait clicky oh yes clickable yeah clickbait no okay Kubo 6472 says gaming on the god of monitors that's actually pretty good oh sorry about that alright let's do it let's do it gaming on the god of monitors you know what I like it I like it I'm not putting 2018 in the title do you have any idea how brutal that is that's like that's like that's like telling YouTube hi I would like you to bury this video please never have anybody look at it again that's actually part of the reason that we do put the date on when show we don't want people watching old land shows by accident thinking that it's like something relevant all right it finally happened RGB psu cables that seems alright that seems alright and I'm not putting 2019 in there that's wrong too that's the real Luke Asus gaming phone looks awesome that seems pretty fair do you remember what this thing was called Jake ROG phone yeah yep this was our G phone first look no I want gaming in there oh my guess we could do that a Seuss's ROG gaming phone no no I want to leave it this way because it was specifically the ROG phone like they might have an ROG phone to or something so I want to leave ourselves I don't leave ourselves options for that okay a CPU cooler with a screen yeah we could throw what it's actually called in there I think oh wow we don't even have it down here mmm it's like the ryujin right is that how it's spelled can you can you check for me yeah sorry Hughie's s asks what's the product name for the RGB psu cable frankly it doesn't matter no one should buy it it's really stupid region ok region a i/o first look boom Corsair may maybe the RGB king what is this video even about honestly I don't know and it doesn't say down here oh lord have we gotten to the point where we have to actually watch it okay we've reached the first one that we actually need to watch system slider going up I don't know I'm about to find out I'm actually not sure because I may not have assigned that correctly give me give me one second is it muted oh well there's your problem okay I don't know what to say about RGB anymore but Corsair has kicked it up yet another not with what they're calling IQ a Corsair interface they're taking everything that was good about link all about I can instead have curved cannot be individually adjusted within the software but on authors like d skills try it ok RGB so basically it's IQ and then their vengeance RGB pro okay I can't put I'm sorry guys I can't put all of that in there yeah yeah okay okay um IQ announcement Computex no you let's just put like you announcement I think that's pretty fair because the main thing with the RGB memory was that it has IQ integration people are so mad and floatplane chat about about IQ they just don't like it okay okay the problem with putting course our booth to her in is that everyone assumes when you when you when you do that everyone assumes that it's like it doesn't have much information in it whereas I think that one we actually do a reasonably good job of over viewing it I'd like to leave it without that it's one of those is one of those things like putting the date in the title that just you're kind of shooting yourself in the foot for no real benefit most HDR is bullcrap oh boy yep so that we're there we were featuring some monitor or other oh boy this is that's tough okay I don't remember what your sorry guys that's uh contrast wow this is going to take a long time PA 32 UX alrighty then a sous pro art PA 32 UX first look that seemed pretty fair and and oh you guys are so nice savage Phoenix says most HDR is kind of bad and was way worse back then yeah right and it's not even bad it's like it was like actually but like oh sorry sorry sorry I'm enjoying this like swear button way more than I probably should because in many cases things were being advertised as like HDR but the whole quite honestly kind of bullcrap HDR HDR 400 HDR 600 thing that came out later I don't even think that was ratified yet so it was just honestly kind of false advertising a lot of the HDR displays that were coming out around that time all right AMD's 32 core fu to Intel I don't know what would we call this we did not have oh I guess I could just put I could just put it in no cuz I don't think it's strictly speaking thread Ripper - this was like thread Ripper refresh so the good news though is we actually know the model of that now so we could just put thread Ripper 2990 WX first look no easy BAM oh did I put fists look see this is why I need you guys you guys are your cue seeing the whole process for me here you guys Rock alright wine show we skip crazy cooler prototype no pump okay this doesn't have a product name so why don't I just throw der Bower in there and then that's really all we can do about it there were so many people who thought that this was fake and it's not there that's all I have to say about that okay all screen notebook concept I think that's pretty fair my thoughts it's an all screen notebook and it's a concept and these are my thoughts on it Oh people want prototype okay so a Seuss was really uh Wow I do remember more about this from that I thought a Seuss was pretty particular they did not want prototype because it's not a prototype it's a concept it's actually a different thing this is not the prototype for something they will build this is a concept for something that maybe they could build oh did I accidentally put it I'll bloody hell I know the eight is a B and just I'm trying to livestream at the same time all scream notebook concept that has to stay concept linus visits the sketchiest sites on the web yeah this really probably should have had a bit defender showcase sorry about that guys that one slipped through the cracks why would anyone you build a huge pc this is about whether there's any benefit to large chassis I don't think anything really needs oh that year says oh so actually brands tell you what not to put in some cases yes brands will tell us look we'd really like I could have done anything I wanted it's not like the video was sponsored or anything like not paying me for what I call it but they did ask very nicely that I not call it a prototype because it isn't that would actually be misleading a prototype implies that this will become a finished product at some point and they don't want people to think that and they're not going to show this concept to people who are going to call in a prototype because the last thing they want is customers banging down their door for four years asking for this the finished product of this prototype they showed off when they were never sure that they were even gonna do one like that's that's stupid that creates a negative situation Magne says yes that's a good point prototype would have been clickbait because that's not what it was so this is a this is a situation where a soos is clarifying what the thing actually is as opposed to dictating what we may or may not title our videos I can tell you for a fact that a soos has been the victim of us calling videos things they were super not impressed with multiple times like it's not like that's a thing so why don't we do why do we do one more raiser wishes they thought of this yeah sure that's probably one that's fair for us to fix what at MSI called that future Jake i legit don't remember let's just let's just do it i muted it all right all right sick all right tangerine let's go okay all right so it is this call that player all right although this one okay actually this is an example of a time that I did actually allow a vendor to influence the title but I have told that story I've fully disclosed what happened I'll I'll tell you guys as a reminder and this I app player first look okay so if you guys ever saw my unboxing of the EMA site key dragon I had I was joking in the booth about calling it Razer wishes they thought of this and our MSI contact was like if you call it that I'll get you the dragon and I was like heck yeah brother I was already I was already considering doing it anyway so we were like yeah let's do it alright so I think that's pretty much it for this dream let's get our hey look at that look at that disclosure on there I actually had a lot can fun playing with the guys with the go XL are you guys can check it out at the link in the video description it's got a ton of great features as we mentioned before it allows you to easily like the software interface really is intuitive remap all of your inputs and outputs by splitting even individual programs on your computer out as separate inputs and then mapping them or like just them or then plus other things or other things and not them to all your different outputs you can adjust your faders to do whatever you want you can play with play around with them in real time oh yeah they've got their convenient little I can't really pick up this one but they've got the convenient little displays at the top so you can always remember what each one of them is assigned to they've got all the different you know like effects that you can apply to your voice if you're into that sort of thing and of course you know if you say something really funny then you can recount it as many times as you want funny funny funny funny you know if you're into that sort of thing did I mention already hardware-accelerated not sure but that's really important too it doesn't doesn't suck up CPU cycles what's that and it's the one-size-fits-all only thing you need although of course you know you could still get like a stream deck or whatever like there's other cool stuff I just mean on like the audio side and and Linus can do it themself thanks Jake thank you for remembering to throw that in Thank You Jake Thank You Jake all right so thanks for watching guys and we will see you in like three hours on one show gonna livestream some more today hopefully hopefully this was fun informative helpful it's gonna take me a little while by the way as you guys can see this is a pretty slow process but I am committed to going back and adjusting these titles so let's let's do better especially moving forward even if I miss a couple of the old ones I'm not gonna like bad - bad we did - all right oh yeah merge shadows he's lots of LTT merge at the LTTE store calm guy I wasn't really gonna do a standard outro I was just gonna say bye to all the nice people who watch the stream
