[3:46:28] *Outro.*
Darn! I just finished mine haha! Do you have any way I can contact you so we can avoid this in the future, and save the work?
I have to say, I’m surprised this didn’t happen sooner. I feel like the CVO role is much better suited for Linus, and I hope it works well for him!
The other video features Linus pouting about the guy he wanted as CEO being employed above their budget whenever their budget allowed
While I agree, it is a daunting task to find someone to hand over the reigns of the best and biggest thing you have built. It’s not just about their ability, but also the fit into the culture that is ingrained into the company and partially responsible for the success and only changing the demonstrably bad parts. Not an small ask.
Kids having a 100 dollar a month Roblox allowance seems crazy to me; I couldn’t even convince my mom to give me 5 dollars a month for Runescape membership growing up and I had to beg/pay another classmate to pay for my membership since I didn’t have credit card access. This also ended up resulting in that other kid stealing my account soooo yeah. There’s also tons and tons of gambling for kids and it’s been around forever; arcades, card packs, etc etc
I feel the runescape part so much 😂 it was tough back then now i cant be convinced to pay out of my pocmet.
Agreed. I also had to convince my mom to pay for Runescape back in the day. What a time to be alive.
God bless Paysafecard.
Just a quick detour to the gas station after school and I could buy all the stuff I wanted in the crappy free to play shooter without my parents ever knowing 😂
same in habbo – but to be fair that got me into programming pretty damn young. I cut a close families friends lawn for access to her phone to dial in and charge the cost to her phone bill a few times. RIP!
The breakdown of a filming session @5:48 was a phenomenal explanation of your filming dilemmas 😂 really shows your depth of understanding for content that makes your business so successful!
Pretty sure he’s talking about the mini pc build they did the other day. Could tell he wasn’t too happy with the prep judging by a few of his comments during the vid😂
SUGGESTION: Linus, since your people are new (and probably not used to your process even if they have processes they’ve learned), why not have them storyboard the script. This way, they’re not just reading the script, but trying to create frames, it gets them into the mindset of, “how are we going to shoot this”. Again, the storyboards don’t have to be anywhere near the level of art someone like Sarah would generate. Stick people and boxes work FINE. And you can then review the storyboard and say “Yes, no, how about this, have you thought about doing this.” And with the storyboard, everyone (Cameras, lighting, sound, etc.) will know not only their part, but what to expect of the rest of the crew to prevent people tripping over everyone.
ponysmasher has a good video on storyboarding “Communicating your vision as a director”
If the TV gets mass produced in enough homes, even if you value your privacy and don’t buy the products that monitor you, you ever want to meet up at a friend’s place, you’ll need to either ask an awkward question of if they have such a device i their living room, or take a chance of getting profiled as a house visitor. In that ecosystem, it’ll be hard to get away, even if you aren’t a customer.
There are so many more difficult situations like that. I don’t know all the regulations in north America, but this most certainly is not gonna fly in Europe. Something called consumer protection. Or to say it a bit more bluntly, consumers (people) aren’t all smart enough to oversee what they are getting themselves into. I am seriously flabbergasted that it’s even allowed to begin with.
This is also the point I don’t agree with Linus. Yes, people doing this already anyway, that’s completely true. But the main question is if you should protect people from it. For the same reason you have the obligation to protect people from hurting themselves.
Glad you’re in a good mood about the role change Linus. For the privacy stuff I hate how things have become, I get your point but seriously I do everything I can to get around the trackers and everything else. I don’t mind doing survey after survey on videos on YouTube but I get annoyed because they don’t ever ask why. They just want the most generic information that might be great for figuring out analytics but tells you nothing about why things are going the way they are which makes me think they obviously don’t care as long as “line go up” in quarterly earnings meetings.
With cheap psu testing I would like to see it done on multiple orders of the same psu. Be sure that the one you got didn’t “win the psu lottery”. I could see there being higher variations from order to order
Linus need to install pneumatic tubes between the buildings so they can transport small stuff like cables and adapters in 20 seconds instead of 20 minutes.
The only real problem with this is the buildings are quite separated and there are other businesses in between that he would have to get permission from to do this. As well as clearing it with the city of Surrey which is currently a little dysfunctional so the approval will take its sweet time even if they do give it. They also might deny it so either way there would be major hurdles to get through
Pneumatic tubes are quite a thing to install and simply an outdated system. If they really wanted a fast way to transport small parts in 2023… In drone would most likely be a better option in pretty every aspect (besides during the night or bad weather)
@Avalanche Dier Those are some great points. Maybe they do it as a “temporary proof of concept” video like they did with the fibre run. Instead of actual pneumatics they have some duct tubing and a mechanical ferret.
@Stefan See, now you’ve got me thinking they do a hacky proof of concept video for pneumatics, and then they come back a couple of months later all like “that was a stupid idea, but now we’re going to do the same thing with drones!”
Love the lab talk cause that’s basically what I do for my company. Hack the world!!!🥰
Linus should just have 2 hats, one saying “Visionary” and one “Owner” that he keeps on him at all times and switches around depending on role. Would make for a great video 😀
I’ve seen this happen a few times during my life. The decision isn’t what proves Linus’ point. The next 6-12 months will be. Not having a finger directly on the pulse of your brain and heart child anymore isn’t for everyone, although it might seem like it when making such a decision.
Best of luck! Hoping for a bit more enterprise oriented content – maybe on a new channel. You for sure got the competencies. 🙂
I like all three – but if there was an option to purchase 1 & 2 together, I like how they match each other. 🙂
I think the labs is going to be so useful for people and i hope the brands jump on board and link to your videos.
I would prefer at least one video from the lab per week😉 (small stuff, big stuff, progress updates, daily work)
I’m happy for you Linus, if this is an upgrade for you it’s better for everyone. The energy that you show in every video could only get better if unleashed free, without major concerns about every side aspect of the thing. Best wishes from Italy.
I’m honestly happy for you, Linus. You’ve put your heart and soul into this company and you need a break.
