Everyone always asks ‘where’s time stamp guy?’ but no-one ever asks ‘how’s timestamp guy?’

I kinda love the fact this is the April Fool's joke that keeps giving! Like, the one video of the house is chaotic and kinda "Okaayy". But as you go to each LTT channel for that day you notice some quirk where its like "oh snap! They shot that in the house!. . Is that a dude in a green suit! . .Are they shooting from a hot tub!?" Its Comedic Gold!! 😂😂

137:32 Thanks for bringing up the topic, even if you weren't sure of the details! Linus's take on it was pretty much the same; the campaign is about pursuing every legal option I could find for stopping games from being destroyed, there are several viable paths worldwide.

YOU ARRANGED THE TENNANTS TO MOVE OUT FOR A WEEK 😂🤣🤯 Best Apr fools vid ever.. So much work, so epic.

Just wanna say I wanna see more of David in videos, glad he's a junior writer now 👍 he has good chemistry with pretty much everybody he's on screen with.

100% in favour for an enterprise Discord copy paste, Discord for gamers & Discourse for the workplace/enterprise version - 2:12:21

100% F cancer. I lost one of my twin sisters in Nov. to cancer. She was only 33. Love the shirts and the cause!

As someone who plays way too many video games I cannot even count the number of games I have played that simply no longer exist. The worst part is a large number of games that quickly shut down are overly monetized with microtransactions or gacha games. How them milking customers for a year then shutting down taking away everything they paid for isn't simply seen as a rug pull scam or something is beyond me.

6'4" Pleeeeease!!!! for tall sizing...hard to fit size 16 feet. When I find a brand that has not only fit, but quality, a strong - if not lifetime relationship is developed. You've got quality, hands down. We love your brand, or we wouldn't be here. Let me throw money that I would normally spend with you. Please give us tall people break - the cranial trauma alone from repeatedly hitting your head on EVERYTHING has an impact. Thing. Do. Hurry. Please.

Just a quick note on the Linux backdoor, the main reason why it was almost undetected was because the backdoor wasn't in the source code. It was included in the test archive files as a binary blob and dynamically injected into the final library during the build process. If it were in the source code, the chances of it being undetected would be extremely low.

I’m so happy that you guys were able to write off enough stuff after the write off shirts that you were able to get your studio back!

Dan mistakenly said "3.6 per second" when he probably meant "3.6 seconds per"... and there's a much easier way of doing it! Don't even need a calculater! Getting $10 = 1000 actions (independent of time). There are 3600 seconds in an hour. What you want is Seconds Per Action, so just take 3600 seconds / 1000 actions = 3.6 seconds/action. You were getting confused by trying to put it in "things per second" units when you actually wanted "seconds per thing" :) But a ton of measurements are done over time per-second, so it does feel a bit weird to reverse it and calculate seconds-per.

AI is acronym for "An Indian"

Thanks for all the effort with no chance of payback guys, I loved how you poked fun at yourselves. Keep up the great work！！

Any news on the windows laptop battery life sleep testing thing microsoft was having you help them with?

Love that David is blocking a door that says "Do Not Block"

As one of the few YT music podcast listeners (RIP Google Podcasts), can you add this episode and the last few to the Wan show playlist on YT? It updates the YT music Podcast. Also, more subjective, but shouldn't the playlist order be flipped since the WAN show is focused on current events?

8:06 and now we know why Luke yelled FU at Linus in the April's Fool vid 😂

Good morning from the uk. Loved the april fools video, very well done.
