Giving dennis control of sponsorship segments is too much power for the man.
it was the best idea ever
I just love when one of the top comment is something I would say and I just have to like it :)
thanks ^^
Give him more power!!!!!
Honestly one of the best ads I've ever seen
lol at these ads ! i cant look away ! 🤣
That sponsorship....is fricken amazing with Dennis. Newegg you are in good hands.
They pay the Denis premium to get it!
Dennis: buy this sponsor slot and you get to watch linus eat a salad in his backyard
Love Newegg.
I can’t believe I actually look forward to the ad-spots since Denis started doing them. Keep them coming! ❤
i almost buy everything... except I don't have the money 😆
They have been superb. Todays WAN sponsor spots were soooo good
The sponsor segments are SOOO much better now. Like, it's fun and not just a commercial now. Good job, Dennis and crew!
I love how Dennis does the sponsorships! Please let him keep doing it
Love it
He's been doing them for over a month now both here and on WAN show.
Colton can't get fired if there is no company, he is just too smart for us mortals
Would be funny if Colton hosted this particular TechLink episode.
should have uploaded a fake video of Colton selling us a crypto scam :D
How could Colton host a video when he has been fired?
@Sebastian Hanssonseason 3 though
He won't be released from the pain cabinet until the end of the month.
just wait, april is around the corner
When Dennis is the host for the sponsors I look forward to them every time 😂
Poor Colton, no one can imagine the amount of bullying he’ll get from his friends and coworkers in the next few months 😂
At least they know it was not him this time.
Could be worse. could be Ex- coworkers
This whole episode is gold! Riley surpasses night show comedians in my opinion..
I love what Dennis is making out of the sponsor spots. Now I can enjoy them instead of skipping annoyed :D
Poor Colton. It must be hard with everyone knowing who did it. Hang in there Colton.
You either die a hero, or live long enough to become the tech news
Haha nice
I see it as a win
The hard r one could have been social suicide
I really hope that they use this and credit you.
@Tech Freak ty, you just made my day
dennis will go down as the smartest funniest and overall best human in the universe. making him the advertising guy was a brilliant plan
Nope that roll is taken with DAD lol
Everyone needs their own "Better Call Saul" style cringe marketing expert on their team!
And he saw and edited Linus' junk. The amount of power is scary
@Anas Malas makes it sound like a small job now
@Ruff_man well, he did it atleast three times by now
Riley is the last person I thought would utter the words “Sony-chan” and “X-baka”, as well as “tsundere”
How is X-baka not already a thing? And this is straight up already a hareem anime with Nintendo as the OP MC pretending to be average black haired protagonist. Sony-chan got dumped and went full Yandere. Sega-san the rival who gets blasted off like team rocket every episode. Square, Capcom and Konami are the background girls who don't wanna be left out. Google Stadia and Xbox each a season arc villain.
When you forgot to take the pills ^
Of all the people at LMG, Riley is the second person I would expect to say those words, after Colton
Thanks Grandma
We deserve an entire episode on the hack with funny puns
That sponsor section was more entertaining than usual 😂
Dennis hype time
I could stand to see more of these sponsor segments... This episode was 100% enjoyable
Don’t fire Colton he’s innocent 😭
Everybody is pointing at Colton 😅
Don't fire him. Make him do endless cyber security training.
It was actually Dennis.
I don’t know, Colton has always looked suspicious.
@DaFuzz fate worse than death
This was the first sponsor slot I've watched in a looooooong time. Dennis is a treasure.
I had two concerns about purchasing a Framework laptop- I wanted a bigger screen and AMD processor. So glad to see them expanding.
Give them time. I too would totally love a 15.6" class laptop for mobile editing, that I can turn into a home server or router years later that gives me an option to remove the GPU module and swap it for a couple of Ethernet ports.
Dennis is a delight. Let your sponsors know that he's become an "absolute must watch" content star.
I totally expect a Colton joke in every video! Glad y’all got everything sorted out.
I gotta say I love how you're covering spaceflight more and more these days! It should be noted that many first rocket launches, in this new era of private companies, can be considered a massive success even when not achieving every single goal.
For example, Relativity proved that it could light and operate 9 engines on the first stage, and more importantly that their 3D printing technology is structurally viable throughout the demanding launch process. It also wasn't carrying any satellites, since it was a pure test flight, which makes it even less of a "failure".
Dennis's sponsor spots are always a treasure to watch
Also Dennis I see a link I must click it. 🤭
Must not skip!!!
Glad you guys got everything back online and so quickly. Thanks Colton.
I'm so glad you're back online, and with a spicy episode with Dennis's entertaining sponsorship segment no less!
Dennis is a blessing to this channel, he is to be coveted and protected. I will hold you personally accountable Linus if harm come upon a hair of his head.
Thank the heavens you guys are back!! Also, that sponsorship segment is so entertaining haha
Came for the bad jokes about being hacked. Stayed for the sponsorship roll. Keep it up guys, love it all!
"We were hacked!"
Says TechLinked after it was hacked.
Great news 10/10!
Thats how you know they have an accurate source
I admire Linus journalistic integrity
I'm glad you guys are back and Linus didn't lose his sanity ❤
I've been watching LTT since 2016. I would be so sad
Riley is such an asset to this channel. Such a funny, quirky guy.
Glad to see you folks back. Stay safe 💪🙏
Its nice to finally see Dennis free of all limitations.
Glad to see you all back up and running!
Here's hoping Google and X-vid are able to prevent this kind of thing from ever happening again.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha. Good one.
@Imrahil ik right, good joke indeed
Fat chance that happening anytime soon, this scam has been talked about for over 11 months, and X-vid hasn't done anything about it or Google for that matter.
There's a channel on X-vid warning everyone about all these scams all the time, unfortunately his channel is far too small and the likelihood of his information coming across somebody who's got millions of views per video are slim to none, so this is why despite his warnings a lot of these bigger X-vidrs aren't going to know, they will all get scammed because they are easy targets when it comes to sponsors.
They can't, if the session cookie as stolen. We would have to rearchitecture the internet.
@rokejulianlockhart reworking how cookies work doesn't sound so bad. Make them less intrusive.
what's even worse is that if this happens to you, you're basically doomed to be terminated because there's no option to report being hacked
Love the ads, dennis having fun as well as the rest of the techlinked crew.
Keep it up, its awesome.
you know it's bad when your own company is the top story of your own news show
it's bizarre to me how the best comedy at 2023 is found on a tech news channel. I seriously love you guys .
Glad you guys are back, great episode top start back on!
Great to see all of you back and great to see the response from the community!! 💪Well handled all and especially Linus
Best sponsor read yet! Killing it, Dennis!
This one was especially good. Tech news shouldn't be this much fun.
I'm glad to see LTT got their best Dennis on the job to fix the hack.
seriously? I LOVE how Dennis is dealing with the sponsorship part!
It would be fascinating to see the stats related to Dennis' sponsor spots. I suspect people are more willing to watch them, and more likely to remember the sponsor, because they're so fun and different lol.
Good to see they are milking this as much as possible
And warning others how to avoid it
Dennis, I love your sponsor spots. Keep them going!
After the first part explaining they got hacked, I fast forwarded to the sponsor spot to see what Dennis was up to this time
Poor colton, they'll never forget it as long he works on LMG
The fact that the recovery process took less than a day...must be nice to have 1-on-1 personal access to a X-vid rep instead of going through the standard channels and waiting for weeks in agony.
Always great to see Sully popping up in random places
Tech tip: don't get hacked
Stolen LTT comment
@SRC267 It's a good tip though. 10/10 would recommend.
Use AntiVirus?
Good to hear. But RIP those smaller channels that will unlikely get their account restored because Google doesn't care unless people make some noise about it.
Dennis make the best sponsor ads! I laugh during every one I see. Good job Dennis!
This episode was so funny! Keep it up guys, great video!
I don't know was it because of the hack but this episode is fucking awesome. Pure gold from delivery to sponsor spot!
16 inch framework?! Hype! Too bad it's not going to be out for quite a while, but when it is out, I'm definitely getting one. I wanted to buy a laptop next month to replace my 9 years old Thinkpad, but I guess it will have to do for a few months longer...
I watched the video one on the main LTT channel right as it came out, I’m glad everything is okay because I don’t know what I’d do without LMG!
Techlinked on point today! The most I have laughed in a while, even the sponsor spot.
Lmao Dennis made my day with that silly ad segment. Looking forward to see more!
i am glad/happy that y'all finally where able to get access back to your channels quickest bit of them all lol
Linus almost lost his entire company due to a hack and the TechLinked team responds by mocking him hahaha
These Sponsor Segments are really entertaining and keep you watching
Sh!t happens, glad you guys got it all figured out!
Seeing LTT - a tech channel - getting hacked by somebody stealing a _cookie_ of all things, was the lolcow of the week.
LOL poor colton... they'll never stop letting him live this one down.
4:32 Riley is very dedicated to his job. You won’t caught me on a tree if my boss asked for a video or picture.
Dennis doing the sponsor segments is bringing me back to the internet 20 years ago, when animutations were a thing... I miss those days sometimes...
TechLinked clearly forgot a crucial TechTip of not to get hacked
Glad yall are back, missed ya Riley & crew
I love to see Dennis, funny as always 😂
bruh Dennis' sponsor segments are too good, i never wanna skip em haha
dennis should handle all sponsor spots from now on. that was amazing.
"To maintain journalistic integrity, he actually doesn't talk to us at all" caught me so off guard 💀
This episode was pure gold!
Honestly it's kinda of crazy how many ways hackers create to access data and accounts
At the end of the day, Most times its us who download malware by mistake / unknowingly whatever. Hackers are just smart people who take benefit of the loophole we create.
I love that Dennis has been in more videos lately lmao its great
Poor Colton getting to hear this for the entire 2023 (or even longer). RIP Colton.
Whoever gave Dennis power of the ad spots (so, anyone but Linus) is a genius, they are brilliant 🤣
Another fantastic Man Speaking To Camera segment from my favorite source of tech, news, and tech news.
I love the running gag of colton being the culprit
Dennis is a marketing genius. Full stop.
This Riley channel is great. I can't believe he only has 1.8M subs. We need to help promote this Riley guy to get his subs up.
Dennis and Riley doing the sponsor spot. 11/10
Dennis played the long game.
Look how much they milked the whole hacking thing across the channels
Well played sir
Man just got done watching the longest and the latest WAN show in history. Now it's time to hang out with Riley before I go to sleep since it's already past 3am
I saw that, 4 1/2 hrs! I'll listen to it tomorrow,,,
i would happily watch an entire video comprised of nothing but dennis doing sponsorships
The Relativity rocket launch was actually a success because they achieved the main objective of the launch which was to have the rocket withstand MaxQ, or the maximum dynamic pressure exerted on the rocket during launch.
By the way, Relativity's launch target was Max-Q (the moment of maximum aerodynamic stress) and anything past that was bonus data. Failure was pretty much expected, it was just a case of when. Noone has had a successful launch on the first try for over 20 years (without flying prior hardware first)
I actually would like to hear more from framework. I'd really like a stylus enabled screen, i'll take even AES or a decent n-trig solution and I don't need crazy performance.
As for the relativity section. First launch of a rocket with lots of new components rarely works on the first try and they don't expect it to work. If any company gets to orbit within 3 tries and without a >5 year delay than im impressed.
Techlinked become the news itself
This has to be the most unhinged techlinked for awhile, understandable, and im all for it
I think the big question regarding the LMG hack is how many mistakes the unwitting victim made. If they downloaded and opened a malicious document and then enabled macros, nothing out of the ordinary. If they didn't enable macros, big problem.
They made the news about them selves like any other company they make news on lol love it
to maintain journalistic integrity, linus has actually never spoken to us
now that everything is safe and sound, linus can’t be hating the content that can be made off of this lol
