want a portable power bank Wireless AP SD card and USB reader for your mobile
devices check the link in the video description to learn more about the Ada
DH Drive air ae400 we've been reached out to many times with people asking how
they can support Linus Tech tips particularly The linch tips.com Forum
other than disabling ad block liking on Facebook following on Twitter watching
more videos uh clicking on the videos more and just generally um following our
every moves at every possible waking moment which not everyone wants to do
and we totally understand but that doesn't mean that you don't want to contribute in some way and there are
costs associated with running a community Forum such as the one that we
have on linest Tech tips.com I find it funny that Linus decides to bring up
costs of the Forum when he sure hasn't paid me anything but there have
definitely been a lot of cost to The Forum I pay you some not
much um anyways those of you who might remember
the Forum started on a test bench under my desk at my house hoping that it might
be able to withstand what was thrown at it running a beta version of V Bolton 5
which was a horrible idea made by lonus
um but it has moved multiple times is
now sitting on a rack in a Data Center and has a plethora of other things that
are helping us keep it up if you're one of the veterans who are around forever
again you'll remember the immense amount of downtime that we had we've mostly
been staying alive lately and that's not cheap speaking of staying alive valve is
a bunch of geniuses because digital items are apparently worth real currency
and are a way to show your support for something that you really enjoy so on
the line is Tech tips Forum we have implemented a badge or pin system that
goes next to your posts now there are some that you can't buy such as being a
member of the folding at home team or being a moderator or other examples like
that but for the first time ever this campaign will be running for a month you
can contribute to the lineus tech tips Forum to earn an exclusive First Blood
badge we're calling this the first Blood campaign because it's the first time
because that those weren't even words because this is the first time that
we've ever taken donations to support anything that we've ever done so by
being one of our first supporters you will have one of these badges no one
else can ever get one ever so there's four tiers of Badges and you can
contribute whatever you want but if you rute at least $10 you get a bronze badge
at least $25 you get a silver badge and at least $50 you get a gold badge now
they have the right corresponding backgrounds but the Blood on the color
increases depending on which badge you get and these badges are designed to be
more exclusive they aren't that cheap but we don't expect that many people to
get them because they are supposed to be like the first time thing they're only
available for this month and like most
Kickstarter and Indiegogo this isn't one but like most of them they have that
insane tier thing at the bottom that like no one should realistically buy if
they have any amount of logic but it's there and lus so the logic process here
was what could possibly represent higher
than bronze silver or gold Platinum you
might say to which I would reply no wrong the answer is of course Pink So
for $500 and that would be like we said I we
we aren't really expecting anyone to buy this um I will hand draw you
as close as I can possibly get in Ms paint which will be terrible which will
be terrible so let's set the expectations where they should be uh we
will film the process and create a dedicated video for you thanking you for
your purchase of the pink level badge so
it'll be handdrawn by me we're going to video it we're going to uh call you out
and say thank you very much at the beginning of one of our other videos and
uh that's what you get for uh for for a $500 contribution which I I really don't
think anyone's going to do this but if they do then Color Me Color Me surprised
speaking of colors guys get your badges now click on the link in the video
description or check out the banner on the top right of the linest tech
tips.com forum and thank you very much for
um letting us know what you think of this idea because I'm sure even by the
time you've made it this far in the video you've already posted a comment saying whether whether you like it or
dislike it under the video so thanks in advance for that
