Seriously, if I was #LinusSebastian of #LinusTechTips I'd literally choose to #donate the cost of a #TeamViewer #subscription to #FLOSS #RemoteDesktop projects like #Dayon instead and sue TeamViewer into upholding their contract or a full refund with interest as if it was a loan because clearly they chose violate that contract on their own terms and initiative!

And yes, Dayon! is awesome and I can fully recommend this as an alternative to TeamViewer, #AnyDesk, etc.

So yeah, TeamViewer literally shot themselves in the foot here by deciding to shaft paying customers who were able and willing to pay the absurd prices you asked for for a one-time license.
That's traffic in the single-digit megabytes per year and client, as there's not much between as clients pinging their server and basically boing some simple handshakes.
Also if I'm on a #LAN why would I want to use TeamViewer and not any #VNC (or god forbid #RDP) server? THE WHOLE POINT OF USING TeamViewer, AnyDesk, etc. IS TO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT NATs, FIREWALLS AND IP-ADDRESSES AND JUST GET CONNECTED FFS!!!
Definitely my recommendation because it also allows for any use-cases and doesn't nag one to "buy a license!"
Interestingly, #YouTube claims that showing content on how to #download or even #watch #videos hosted on their site as "#HarmfulContent"...
So not even encouraging "#crimes" like #piracy. (Which OFC they don't want to see on their platform!)
Seriously, WTF!?
"#Malware maker sponsors a #shitpost by a #TechIlliterate #Windows n0ob to sell their #Rootkit to #TechIlliterates" would'nt be as clickbaity but a #HonestVideoTitle instead...
@lcruggeri @mudkip not really.
Even #Lienus the fanboy of #Windows had that happen to him: Machines in suspend deciding to do so and #succ their batteries flat!
Best people can get are #NewOldStock #GTX1030 or worse like #GT710 or got forbid #GT210|s which noone should buy unless they are stuck in some hellhole like #Brazil where #customs make thibgs so expensive that people are glad if they can buy their used work computers (minus HDD/SDD) from their employers for an absurdly high price cuz #refurbishers and #UserMarket either din't exist or just full of shit re: prices!
Anyone know what happened to the #LTT #Minecraft #Server?
mc.ltt.gg
but since vanished.I assume with the most competent Sysadmin [ @emilyyoung ] gone, #LinusTechTips had noone there to care or maintain it and as we all know from TheMisterEpic, hosting a Minecraft Server is expensive as in having very real costs with #Staffing, even if one can get #Hosting and #Hardware for free [which it never is!]...
Also yes, I think #Vsauce prioritizing #quality over #quantity is good.
In an ongoing feud between two popular tech YouTubers, GamersNexus has accused Linus Tech Tips of plagiarism. Do the allegations hold up?

What Linus got wrong (and right) about Linux Gaming in 2025

People who think #LinusTechTips has obnoxious and disingenous #Thumbnails and #Titles should definitely not look at this shit:
But I guess it worked in #RageBait|ing me...
@ravirockks OFC they don't.
At best they show people how to change fan curves in the #UEFI or hiw to run #memtest86+, but mostly they just "teach" people how to consume #Windows and at best #macOS and that's it.
Same with @libreoffice / #LibreOffice & @thunderbird / #Thunderbird.
Linus on the WAN Show is, once again, failing to understand something very important about Apple hardware versus custom PCs.
Yeah, with Apple hardware you have to choose your spec with no upgrade flexibility. What you gain is something you absolutely cannot get from your custom PC build: optimized performance.
Yeah, it costs more, but the design is more expensive, and not without reason.
You get what you pay for, in this case.
Right, I'm going to do something I dislike, but I literally don't know how else to get support to follow up with me.
I have indeed submitted two support requests in the intervening time, i'm not just being lazy I promise.
On 17 Aug I made a video about #FloatPlane accessibility and how not good it is.
I wasn't a troll, I was constructive and thoughtful, and yet I cannot get a hold of anyone at either Floatplane Media or LTT.
If *anyone* happens to know someone at one of these companies and could get my video to them, I'd be extremely grateful.
The other thing I really dislike doing is asking if people could boost for reach, but I'll make an exception.
Fedi is big now, and far more reaching than modern-day xitter, so all help gratefully received.
I thank you in advance.
Accessibility Issues With Floatplane (from a VoiceOver Perspective) https://youtu.be/2sZTsrek08M
#LTT #LinusTechTips #Accessibility #VoiceOver #iOS
I just noticed
This guy is running Linux! That's the Gnome Lock Screen!
Watching Linus (LTT) complain about issues with iOS 18 and the iPhone 16 Plus.
So far his issues are him issues.
I’ve seen his CarPlay issue in another music app, but not Apple Music. That’s an app defect, not a CarPlay defect.
He’s complaining rotation lock…working?
So many of his other complaints are him basically being frustrated the Apple way is different from Android way. Then why the fuck use an iPhone if you’re unwilling to learn?
Ein sehr schönes Video von #veritasium, @srlabs und #LinusTechTips zu #SS7-Hacking, in dem sie gut verständlich demonstrieren, wie SMS und Gespräche unbemerkt vom Opfer zu beliebigen Dritten in der Welt umgeleitet werden können und wie jedes Mobiltelefon weltweit getrackt werden kann.
This is TERRYFYING
The whole phone infrastructure on the world is compromised. No phone is safe.
From stealing SMS and rerouting any call, to track anyone, WORLDWIDE.
