I've Dennis Oman can you get off your phone for 10 seconds at work geez okay so this is actually gonna be a lot of fun we've got a bunch of cool stuff but the highlight of the show today is our Chinese knockoff play button it's not nothing okay well we'll explain more about that later my first Dennis I wanted to ask you a question what do you think of our new Xbox sudden it's a new model or something I don't really know I don't play console games this one right here you wanted to know if that's a new model what do you think does it look better than the Xbox one X it means it looks bigger and I don't know it's like industrial look and fit the set right hold older I don't know I don't yeah whatever that's more like pluck in right so okay there's a video coming soon I'm just bugging Dennis it doesn't know anything about it but we've got a sleeper video coming really soon featuring the world's most powerful Xbox one not to be confused with the Xbox one which is the Xbox model Oh anyone that's the original Xbox one yeah from like 2003 or 2002 or yeah so we actually put a super-powerful PC inside it so it supports our TX real time ray tracing so cool yeah so it's pretty cool and it's like completely stealth from the outside you'd never know but those those ports on the front yeah those jacks that's cuz that Xbox used to require wired controllers so that was where you plugged in the controllers but they've all been swapped out for USB so now we could plug in ps4 controllers or a new Xbox controllers or anything we want okay so it's it's pretty sick anyway anyway that's not what you people yeah but you need to see yeah just wait wait for me I'll be right back Dennis entertain them entertain them my own show it's my own live show no well I miss anymore but no more coding we are doing a live stream that we are replacing - for this channel from now on with you yes so because this is our new set help hey guys how long should I let them suffer over there okay I cannot tell any jokes how long should I let them just sit there I mean Dennis you scream you scream I'm sitting on the couch and camera pointing on me I mean like you know what's is usually look like I'm back I'm back I'm back okay so first I gotta give a shout-out to our sponsor memory Express there Victoria location is now open so their new location has all the same product selection quality as their other stores and you can click the link below in order to learn more okay so first of all YouTube actually has a couple of different styles of play buttons that they've had over the years so because we've been on YouTube for a very long time sometimes I marvel at those how old I am and how old the platform is these days we have samples of the different kinds of YouTube play buttons so this is the original 100,000 subscriber play button notice I grabbed the yeah cuz I knew you were gonna be here and that was sort of you know a thing that you love that's good so memory yeah Memorial you know even if people subscribe we're not resurrecting it these we try okay look the thing about channel's super fun because we've had a lot of people ask us to bring it back is I have already said sure go ahead make a channel super fun not only can you do it on work time but you can even just spend any money that was brought in by the channel super fun Adsense completely 100% passed through channel super fun ad revenue to do something you say any money like No Limit did I is maybe not he said no any money basically didn't care because we haven't spent any on channel Superfund and it still makes like a couple hundred bucks a month in Adsense or something like that like it's not insignificant so like if people wanted to go skydiving or some crazy crap all they have to do is plan it and take the money and go and nobody has done it so it's it's like actually not my fault at this point can we pan your car again no no no no okay so the original the original silver play button was kind of I don't know it's what about three or four inches by two and a half three inches really shiny it actually looks quite nice it's in a shadowbox Vexin photo is relatively cheap but yeah it's an aluminum aluminum frame proper glass front and then it's just like it's a pretty standard frame pretty easy to mount though it's got like really really strong mounting hardware here which is pretty cool pretty robust been in the last couple of years at some point I don't remember when they did it but YouTube ditched the og play button and brought us this honestly it's it's okay so this is the one we got for tech linked I also have a similar one for Linus cat tips this really makes me regret not doing the cat tips one a lot sooner because then they could have had an OG one for it but whatever yeah oh it's fine it's got a velvet backing which is this is nice I guess touch but one thing that's that kind of stands out to me about this one is it's quite a bit cheaper that scratched oh no it's just a hair oh it fogged it's really cold in here anyway so it's just got like a shiny I'm not sure if it's glass or acrylic so I'm not gonna try to scratch it cuz then it would get scratched and then it's just got like a brushed aluminum piece here and then this is a veneer so this is just like a single brushed aluminum piece that goes on top and then this is just like some kind of screen printing on here so yeah I like this one more know what what do I got more yeah this is more modern and but look at the the shininess of the plate is plastic I know well no it actually is No might be it might be metal coated people have actually like broken it down and tried to figure out the composition of it before I'm not sure about the silver one definitely and this is also a mirror that you can actually make a use of it's like can look at it Wow you'd have to be a whole other level of narcissistic to like dude that's yeah that's how you use it okay but you guys aren't here to see real YouTube play buttons you're here to see the Chinese clone so he got one of these I'll explain later how we got it actually we got it quite a while ago but it's yeah turn the 18th it's it's taken us until now to unbox it so Dennis come come on in come in and close David Dennis do you want to do the honors yes this is from Bailey Bailey don't explain how we got it okay open oh okay oh so this is my ulterior motive for inviting you to do the stream with me okay so you can read it okay sure okay Linus tech tips Bailey Billy Billy Billy lately CEO Billy Billy there's another Billy billion their CEO really Billy yeah okay okay so can you read this for me so first of all you can see two like cheers yeah I says Kombe like Cheers okay drink beers them okay so we have we reach 100,000 fans that's a hundred thousand fans sure achievement okay okay so Lana's take to achievement that's you have to write all that crap for achievement reach achievement Richard told ya okay so that's it thank you for creating the contents all the way along along the way if I only imbue you have reached ten hundred thousand followers right because the way it works in Chinese is it's yeah ten thousands right is that right yes ten this another word for ten thousand so bad but ten ten thousand yes in dozens yeah okay this is 100,000 yeah every day right this is the so this is something that were for you is that milestone is that big milestone yeah my stone really happy to see you your your your project have been recognized by a lot of followers okay cool a lot of them have become your silicon friends in your in the online world silicon France in significant significant friends yeah okay meanwhile I probably couldn't communicate with a single one of them if I met them on the street but yeah that's the beauty of all mine right yeah are people watching this cool eighty point oh wow so the no pressure witness but like your translation okay I know I'm released yeah multiple ten thousands of people oh my god okay okay this look like an English English test for me initially this is me in real-time it just okay cuz you know I can replace you with Google okay because our because of your consistent hard work hard work yes how work and never like with never giving things are you have create your own little world on buoys at the meantime this is jinx yes is she to chant and you know that actually doesn't help me very much okay the Chinese is very different than my Chinese it's a great thing the great thing about this is I actually know how hard it is to translate in real time I attended a like some kind of like learning professional development something thing with my mom back when she was a teacher and she's hard of hearing and has trouble with conventions and like presentations in particular because the audio solution means that a lot of the time the synchronization between the lips and the audio is not quite perfect so I had to sit up at the front and translate to sign language what they were saying and I am like barely functional like Khan I was at my best I was barely conversational fluent in in sign language and like at the end of those two days each day I just would go back to the hotel room just lie down and sleep absolutely one of the most mentally fatiguing things you can do like there's a reason that by law translators have to be swapped out every I forget how often it is but it's like shockingly fast because the the tax it is on your brain is like it's really different from almost any other kind of work so I'm I'm giving them a really hard time but it's actually doing a great job okay so there's no saying you're a very powerful creator in this area a lot of new new users coming to sure share your content okay because they love your not your artwork and create a new world and okay okay so right yeah as people well if there was exit I'd be able to find that too because it's on that exit yeah we believe that you have your passion to constant them consistently putting out your hard word to what you love is a is a treasure in your life I hope you can maintain your passion in Billy Billy and create unlimited possibilities so that's it that's our letter from the Billy Billy CEO now what's this ma'am I don't know I can't read a signature in Chinese I can't return English there's no there's no I yeah there's no that printed just yeah so okay yeah you do the owners Dennis this wouldn't happen without you it's really cool I don't think it could be more Asian if they tried yeah adorable it's a TV it's so cute on TV I know what rabbit ears on a thing means it is let's have a look at it Wow look at that oh you can they have signed it - yeah I have like a stand here and you can put it this - sure that's pretty cool you can also hang it on the wall it has a couple of like nail hooks on the back it's velvet on the back your favorite oh yeah you can touch it so you can just take this off with the four screws and then you can hang it on the wall like that this is acrylic actually that's an interesting pretty good so you can see like they have a lot of comments here okay are those comments like from our channel you think no I think they just it just for this plate okay I don't really understand some of them okay but yeah some of them like this like Oh absent is 3000 times is like not original I'd like to do is not very original no I'm probably asking you're turning off with three dots in time okay up something something Jay call I don't really know I don't really understand what about this one with Billy Billy and this Cheers Billy Billy this is like a face emoji yeah I know I know the face this isn't some things are universal this is what this is a some keep give you my knees like T monitor that means like now we're gonna be demonetized on YouTube and Billy Billy we is this give up my niece's so that means I give you my niece that means like okay I'm like kneeling down for you oh okay so it means like it's like that's warmer it's like it's like a text bout yeah uh pow pow okay oh no power like this like New York not like no down now powers like that no that's like I don't understand what you're doing oh my knees for you is that what it says yes yes your knees for you yeah actually that's what it means yes but not like what you're thinking but I'm thinking I would never regret that join Billy Bowie desire yes so um so yeah they've gone like a very shadowbox kind of looking style kind of like the old YouTube one it's quite a bit bigger which I actually like because I've always felt like that the silver play baton was like kind of a saving on shipping cosplay but I mean I guess YouTube had to kind of see it coming that they were gonna ship literally hundreds of thousands of these things at some point so you gotta kind of control you control the ridiculousness of your spend there honestly I really the one thing that really stands out to me about it compared to the YouTube one actually either the YouTube ones is that instead of just going with a cheap like screen printing finish both on the glass of the original one and on the metal top or on the metal front of the of the new one they've actually got like a textured like it's it's an etched kind of embossed font here and then there's actually a like a shiny silver ink that's uh that's filled in on the Linus tech tips what does this actually say congratulation you have reached 100,000 followers fans okay and then on their logo as well like the thing actually looks really sharp and even up here you can tell that what they've done is this is like a translucent MACT peace and then they've like itched away a top layer like it's a really cool kind of printing that it looks like they've done on here I wonder if you could even back light this thing that's why I'm thinking I thought you don't like it no I think you could cuz look if you look through the hole here it's a little bit trouble you said why don't you put it behind the slate oh that little M yeah oh here here is that's here yeah yeah if you take this thing so we would have to take it apart we'd have to put some kind of diffusion layer and then we just have to put some kind of lighting in there we could totally backlight it you can also G a bit well yeah obviously I thought that without the same 1000 percent RGB okay so so yeah oh so come on in and let's let's kind of talk about what happened so I had said but this is something that wouldn't have happened without Dennis and as much as the title of this video made it sound like we just bought like a like a Chinese clone of a YouTube play button as you guys might have picked up on at some point here either if you've heard of Billy Billy before or you went in googled it or just from our tone this is a real video platform that we actually do upload our videos to and we actually did just reach a hundred thousand subscribers and for us this is kind of a big deal because this is on a Chinese language video platform that without the hard work of our translation team yeah coordinate yeah huge shout out we have like a team of 54 people that day yeah I do a contract but they but they do a lot of how work like a lot of videos that we don't have script and like vlog like 20 minutes they have to like work on it and get it released we after that wearisome focus trying to sing that with YouTube but a lot of videos are really hard to translate but they did a fantastic job so good job our team and yeah and right now this is 100 right now we have 400,000 oh really subscribers are we actually growing pretty fast right now let me see I actually stole numbers oh that's kind of crazy so we have four hundred and nine thousand like fans followers and we have we have over 60 millions play that's not bad actually that's pretty cool I don't pay that close attention to it so like I said this really wouldn't happen without Dennis's hardwork coordinating it and without the translation team we do obviously like pay money so I guess I can tribute that to it and it's all the original LTTE videos but I guess this raises the question why do people need to watch on Billy Billy comm instead of just watching on YouTube we have Chinese subtitles because this platform you also has different kind of function that YouTube doesn't have you can comment on the timecode that so the common good pop on the screen that people they trans people usually do that absolutely that's kind of cool you can turn it on and off right yeah the comments floating by on the screen but then what will happen is if someone comments on a particular part of the video then at that moment in the video the comments will scroll by on the screen so it's kind of like a highly engaging way to to do to leave comments so there could be like no comments for a while and then like a really funny moment happens and it's like wow that's like what everyone else thought about it which is kind of kind of cool kind of interactive also that because I was subtitle who burned into the video so that we can change the fonts easier to read on subtitles okay yeah yeah that's basically it and of course the elephant in the room yeah that there's no access to YouTube in China yeah so right now because of the the complicated nature of getting money out of the People's Republic of China wait the PRC that's like mainland China right people Republic of China is that right yeah yes okay okay so because of the complicated nature of that even though Billy Billy actually does have an Adsense like program we can't be eligible for it because the money would have to go to someone who actually lives in China which creates a bunch of Taxation complications for them because they would then have to forward it to us but like how like it's it's really complicated and there would be no way for us to claim ownership of it so if we just set it up so it went to someone then they could just take it not not that we don't trust like the members of our translation team it's just that that's it's not that's not a good way of doing business so we don't actually make any money on it at all but this was just a decision that we made like a couple years ago I think 2016 2016 just to hey we need to have some kind of a presence in China people in China like if they want to watch Linus tech tips they needs time away not just on this platform we also have our China on egg fun you can you can you can no two doors Costco to dal we killed yeah yeah this is the one that honestly has been the most success this this one's the biggest one like in China online video is really different in China like a lot of those bigger sites it's not so much indie creators like like us like we'd be considered indie it's more like like like actual shows and stuff that people are just watching online and even Billy Billy the foot there's a funny story behind the start of what we were doing there so Billy Billy was more like a pirate site so actually the reason it was brought to our attention was that the translation group some of the early members were pirating our videos translating them for nothing just out of passion for technology and wanting to share our videos with people in China and uploading them to Billy Billy and we were like yo WTF you actually can't do that and they were like oh sorry we just wanted to help and we were like oh okay so now we actually contract yeah to do it officially so so that was that was really cool that's something we started working on a couple years ago and this is just it's an exciting milestone it's something that a lot of thought a lot of you probably didn't know that Dennis died was here yes I do think this on camera like personality where it's like Oh Dennis he's just he's just stupid and he doesn't know what he's doing and he trips on things are like whatever I do but this actually does a lot of stuff here so he's our primary editor for fast as possible he actually edits a lot of tech linked now like 95% though yeah he does he coordinates the Chinese translation team he does shooting for us so sometimes if we have to go somewhere particularly Chinese speaking I will prefer to take Dennis with me because you know when we did for example the the gaming high school yeah and Taiwan Dennis arranged all of that like start-to-finish contacted the the people there arranged the shoot day shot it edited it did the thumbnail for I didn't think the thumbnail was great anyway the gaming hotel did really well that was another Dennis initiative so yeah here's a little award maybe we should argue be back light it and put it up in like the gaming lounge or some yeah cuz honestly okay you're gonna have to let us know in the comments guys I think it looks better than either of the YouTube ones it has so much more character like this feels so sterile to me and this one has always looked kind of small and cheap to me whereas this like really it feels ok don't break it oh that's already dead yeah so don't you don't have to be on its grave sure should we should we do a couple Super chats or something I actually don't even have my laptop here to talk with you guys have people been super chatting yet okay oh sorry you guys I don't even I don't even think there's a way for me to access them on mobile there's so many things on YouTube that are just like YouTube's amazing the technology that they have for vaad online is I don't know if anyone will ever catch them but there's stuff that's just like kind of basic that I don't have like four stories for example there's I have no stats for the whatsoever I have no analytics for them I can't access them in the in the creator studio app or anything like that like it's just there it's just not in here yeah I could I could go over there and read a couple or like I thought I had my laptop over here David you want to just follow us over here like now look Dennis does lighting - yeah a plus ten out of ten lighting okay so it's not entirely an on camera like I mean there's an element of Dennis being kind of a klutz sometimes okay so what have we got Ivan tek-tips is king now apparently Dennis needs a weekly live show nice Dennis isn't fired Dennis was never no we've never even joked about known as being fired you're thinking of Colton yeah can you quit it with the artsy aspect ratios on your videos 18 by 9 is probably here to stay I don't know if you are familiar with this but tech linked is still sixteen by nine right yeah and if that this still sixteen by nine okay but LTT is probably gonna stay 18 by 9 a lot of our viewership is mobile you guys and mobile phones are moving to that wider aspect ratio personally I'd really like to see TVs available in a wider aspect ratio I've pitched my case to the TV manufacturers that I sort of have the ear and we'll see what happens but especially with how many movies are shot in a wider aspect ratio I think that's an obvious next step Hank says here's five-year host for super fun Oh get your own car painted your car's kind of a piece of junk to my car that's fine where's my Civic too but it's what your doesn't eight yeah looks like it has a lot of rust on it no it's okay it runs yeah Selenia says finally off work in time for an ltte stream yeah we were late today that's why that happened i kevin says if you still have the old Civic I'll buy it from you I do endurance racing for beaters okay that might actually be fun I think we have a plan for it we were gonna run over it with a tank but then that died so maybe we're doing something else I don't know we'll see um maybe we got here my company has been trying to get a hold of you guys respond sir Watson can't get a reply well you kind of sponsored us now thanks for the 20 British pounds that's cool if you didn't get a reply from the email that's listed on our channel they're supposed to reply to everyone but if they're not interested sometimes they forget so that might be what happened with the sales team total gamer says Linus you and your crew deserve a coffee break open your wallet and help them out hey look I paid them every class they buy is opening my wallet I'm just saying not that that's you know the beyond and they'll actually we even have free coffee in the kitchen yeah yeah and we I already pay more your coffee Andrew says come join floatplane showers or birds means cheeky lines that's a weird comment I don't understand your comment Beautif your life Linus says Jule Spice Girls no no I'm gonna see the Backstreet Boys although I would totally go see the Spice Girls if they came to town that that would be a thing okay they seem to be a repeat dennis is the coffee break guy just sending us like I love you too nice to just over and over and over again no I yeah I think so we're what the heck a couple gamer maybe is maximum yo what was the thing you used before Flo playing oh this is chicken nugget style I almost wore my vessel shirt today but then I didn't it was called vessel it's demo why are you guys charging so much for shipping from the LTTE story that's because shipping from Canada is actually really expensive especially tracked shipping we are working on a solution but it will take time I think that especially people who live in Hong Kong or the UK sort of take for granted that you can have cheap worldwide shipping with a tracking number for like a few bucks that is not a thing here Canada Post is not subsidized in any way so it's just really really expensive like you have to pay for the fraction of a plane ticket that your package would have taken up the seat of like it's ridiculous so that is our cost um Justin says when was your love of computers born I don't know around the same time I was magnet says I want the new t-shirt design as a sticker that's probably worth investigating but we're working on boxers first do you believe someone said be replete Cheers Oh Peter Phu alright so that's it guys thanks for tuning in to the stream thanks Dennis for helping me co-host yay oh and thanks to our sponsor pulse way who's talking points I have on my phone over there ha ha yay you're tethered you're tethered David be careful Paul's way is a remote management system for servers computers really any machine you have it's compatible with Windows Mac Linux and applications and we use it for all kinds of cool stuff for example I get a pulse Li notification any time one of our servers goes over a threshold that I set for a disk space so that I can screenshot it and forward it to Ed and be like hey yo why haven't you why haven't you moved some videos over to the vault you can monitor yeah I know the vaults broken right now we're working on it anyway so that's why you haven't heard from me about it lately ok it's not that it's not bull our servers are all fall it's bad it's a bad scene they're both all full and awful for those of you who misheard me the first time anyway so you can use it to monitor all kinds of aspects of system health you can set up all kinds of great like notifications and and warnings you can fix problems on the go by sending commands from any mobile device you can deploy custom scripts to automate your IT tasks you can scan install and update your systems on the go it's got remote desktop functionality it's basically awesome so go over to pulse wave comm we're gonna have that linked in the video description and give it a try it's really really cool so thanks Dennis for co-hosting thanks for keeping it happening do they do a gold play button I don't know so that would be the next cool right we reach 1 million well hopefully yeah I would think I mean if they're gonna copy YouTube and might as well copy all the way right so yeah should we do another stream when we get our gold play button ok so there you go I'm not promising a weekly Dennis live show but I will promise that Dennis and I will be back when we have a million followers on Billy Billy with our gold chinese clone play button or you can go subscribe on Beuys yeah you could do that if you understood I mean the audio is still English yeah yeah so I need to find us all right you know follows that stuff yeah okay go ahead and kill it at bye-bye
