Our team spent 12 hours yesterday restoring 900 servers. They had to be booted into safe mode, corrupt file deleted, and reboot. That was the "fix" they released. Our cloud team had it even worse. It happened around 1am... so we were exhausted. Fortunately our domain controllers only required a reboot. Laptops were bricked until we restored our disk encryption environment. We had end users fixing their own laptop when possible because support couldn't help 10k+ users. Fortunately, most laptops were not online at the time

Hello to NoKi1119 in advance, we love you man ❤

[mathieubouchard]

I was in the Military for Y2K and we were on official Stand By, no drinking. Nothing Happened worst new years ever.

[Zyo]

I think the exchange between Linus and Dan about Dan's contract work might be the most Canadian thing I've ever seen.

[anewbimproves]

Suing ISPs for providing services to pirates is like suing a local authority for providing a road someone to someone who broke the speed limit.

This is just an attempt to shift the blame because the media industries can't or won't secure their property, and also can't or won't make access to their products accessible enough to make piracy unnecessary.

I am a network engineer for BMW. I was working the night shift when this happened. It was crazy. It took us an hour to find a solution and another two hours to apply the fix to all the affected devices.

[kgwwn]

Y2K Was **NOT** FUD. It was a real issue that was fixed. It was a massive undertaking and was fixed because people were forewarned. This is an example where because thousands of very talented people worked long hours to prevent a crisis, and the crisis was prevented, people think that the warning was meaningless. But the warning is WHY nothing happened.

[ooglefluffg]

My sister took a ferry out of Vancouver last night and got a ticket written in pink glitter pen.

[Ulvhamne]

New cereal for LTT? Boot loops! Blueberry flavored rings!

[DonnaTheShark]

62 seconds into WAN Show and Linus is talking about golden showers... This is gonna be an interesting episode isn't it?.

[_NaLo_]

8:00 it's worth mentioning that a lot of effort was spent on fixing Y2K issues before they occurred.
According to Wikipedia, that worldwide effort cost more than $300 billion.

[mattjax]

Yayay we are slowly getting back to ultra long WAN show

[giaccommander]

I should not write this comment to honor Linus' approach to the loss of his sister. But I want to express my condolences and say that I am always moved by how strongly you deal with this great loss... and that I think I understand. It does me good to see that you don't always have to break, as I did, in suffering. Thank you (and sorry. I had to let that out)

[Animaniac-vdst]

Talking about employees not being as motivated as boss:
This is what i told my boss: "You work on your dream - we also work on yours."

[complex_]

the "what have you grown to enjoy about each other" segment at 2:20:20 is both the most wholesome thing I've seen in recent times and also absolutely hilarious.

[Ayaneb]

Just FYI, the latest League of Legends special skin, was EXCLUSIVE to a $750 CAD bundle. Yes. $750 CAD.

[BloodAsp]

Luke: "I'm not a subscriber, I don't subscribe to any of the platforms"
Also Luke: Literally runs a subscription company.

[chinthor]

Linus looks like every comic or anime, "I just got fire powers and don't know what I'm doing"
The back looks like a scortched crater

[jonacheson]

I had to give a friend a ride to the hospital yesterday for outpatient surgery. Got up at 3 AM so I could cannonball across the county at 4 AM and get my friend to the hospital by 5-ish. When we got there, all the computers were down, and they eventually sent us home. Fortunately my friend's condition is not life-threatening, but I burned a vacation day and I'll need to burn another one now when he gets rescheduled. >:(
