00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:19,199
Obsidian Series 250D from Corsair. Click now to learn more. Well, it's time for

3
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,119
Linus Tech Tips update 2014. 2013 was

4
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:25,760
our first year as an independent company and we wanted to survive and we did.

5
00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:29,119
Yes. Yes, we did. This year we want to grow and do more. We don't want him to

6
00:00:27,279 --> 00:00:32,920
grow. He's already large enough. So, order of business number order of

7
00:00:31,439 --> 00:00:38,000
business number one. That wasn't in the script. You could see that though. Yes,

8
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:42,640
we're hiring. We are looking for a very wide variety of different skill sets

9
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:46,719
from scripting to editing to on camera talent to camera operation. So, make

10
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:50,320
sure that you have a look. We'll need some piece work contract stuff done for

11
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:54,960
sure. Uh, but depending on how multi-talented you are, there could be a

12
00:00:52,079 --> 00:01:00,000
part-time employee position or even a full-time position available. So, um,

13
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,920
guys, do check it out. Unfortunately, we're not really looking for folks

14
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:07,600
outside the Vancouver, Canada region, but do have a look at the list anyway

15
00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:13,439
and see if there's anyone you know who would be a good fit. I'm aware of what you're doing. As far as compensation is

16
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:17,280
concerned, these are paid positions, but I want to set realistic expectations.

17
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:21,280
We're a very small company, and starting wages won't really be anything special.

18
00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:24,880
You'll find the full details, as well as a checklist of the things we need help

19
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:29,200
with, in the link that is below in the video description.

20
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:34,240
Item number two is for everyone, not just Canadians who live in Vancouver. We

21
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:36,079
are doing a massive worldwide giveaway,

22
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:42,479
folks. The crate computer that we reviewed a little while ago. Yeah, the

23
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:46,320
one with the Core i5 4670K GTX 780, 27in

24
00:01:42,479 --> 00:01:49,360
LCD monitor, 500 gig Corsair SSD, and 16

25
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:51,439
gigs of RAM. We are giving it away. All

26
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:56,079
you have to do is subscribe to my Tequiki channel and leave a comment on

27
00:01:53,920 --> 00:02:00,240
the Techquicki video that is linked below. Techquiki is not going to teach

28
00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:04,600
you everything there is to know about technology, but I hope that you'll find

29
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:09,920
the content fun and sharable nonetheless. But wait, there's more. I

30
00:02:07,759 --> 00:02:14,879
want everyone to know about this giveaway. If you can get another social

31
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:18,160
media influencer, uh, let's say anyone with I pretended I was thinking about

32
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:24,560
it, but it's in the script. Let's say anyone with 10,000 followers on YouTube,

33
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:28,800
Facebook or Twitter to share this video with their followers and give you credit

34
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:34,560
for bringing it to their attention. I will enter each of you, the person who

35
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:37,519
refers the influencer and the influencer

36
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:41,440
into two separate draws each with their own prizes. So, for the one who the

37
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:46,640
influencer credits, there will be a chance to win an ASUS GTX Titan graphics

38
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:50,800
card. And for the eligible influencer who shares this video, there will they

39
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:56,720
will be entered into a draw to win a Sony twoin-one

40
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:59,120
Ultrabook. Yes, I am giving away a full

41
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:04,400
all-in-one gaming system, an Ultrabook, and a GTX Titan. Get the full details

42
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:07,599
before you do anything. They're in the link in the video description because

43
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:10,959
there are a few things you'll need to do to validate your entry so that I can do

44
00:03:09,519 --> 00:03:15,680
the draw correctly and make sure it's fair for everyone. Both giveaways end

45
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:19,599
February 28th. The last thing, item number three, in our 2014 update is

46
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,959
really important. For us to achieve the aggressive goals we've set out for

47
00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:27,680
ourselves this year, which is more content with better quality across more

48
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:31,040
channels, we will need people, space, equipment, and all kinds of expensive

49
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:34,560
stuff like that. And for that, we will need your help. We've had a lot of

50
00:03:32,799 --> 00:03:39,120
people ask us over the years if we take donations or contributions. Many many

51
00:03:36,959 --> 00:03:44,319
content creators do. And with a couple of exceptions, we've always said no. But

52
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:48,000
now there is. We've worked out an easy automated system through Linus

53
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:51,200
techtips.com that cuts out the middlemen who are keeping a chunk of your

54
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:54,319
contribution for themselves and it pretty much all goes to us except a

55
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:58,239
little bit, excuse me, a little bit to PayPal. Sorry, I choked on that PayPal.

56
00:03:56,319 --> 00:04:02,319
Um, so visit the contribution link in the video description if you like what

57
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:07,040
we do and you want us to keep doing it. Honestly, the benefits for the different

58
00:04:04,239 --> 00:04:10,480
tiers aren't really that different. And because we're never going to charge for

59
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:14,319
access to any of our content, there's really no pressure and the amount that

60
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:17,919
you contribute is completely up to you. Or if you do it at all, it's completely

61
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:22,240
up to you. Just know that every dollar helps us do what we're doing and do it

62
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:25,759
better. And you have our thanks. And if you do want to contribute, but you don't

63
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:29,040
want to bother creating a forum account, don't worry. We have you covered as

64
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:35,759
well. The forum now supports signing in with Twitter, Facebook, and Steam. So,

65
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:37,360
you can just quickly, easily create,

66
00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:41,120
well, just sign in. That's pretty much all there is to it. And I think there

67
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:46,400
must be one other thing because otherwise I don't know why you're even here other than to mock me. So, I'm I'm

68
00:04:44,479 --> 00:04:50,720
leaving and I'll let you cover update item number four. So update item number

69
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,680
four, which in my opinion doesn't necessarily matter more or less than the

70
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:57,120
other ones, but apparently he doesn't care as much, is the Linus Tech Tips

71
00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:02,720
conglomerate, which is currently the eighth largest faction organization

72
00:05:00,479 --> 00:05:06,240
thing in all of Star Citizen. We just passed Red Faction, aka Reddit faction,

73
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:10,160
which is actually really cool, although we do love those guys. And once we get

74
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:14,720
100 more members, we'll be third in the world in terms of size, which is

75
00:05:11,919 --> 00:05:18,000
actually pretty epic. Our activity levels are pretty insane as well as

76
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:21,840
we're ranked number one or two. We kind of bounce back and forth for activity

77
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:25,600
which is really interesting. The chat is super active and on the forum we post a

78
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,240
ton. I think we're at like 27 pages right now. So whether or not you're in

79
00:05:27,039 --> 00:05:31,680
the organization, if you just want to talk about Star Citizen, come visit us

80
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:37,039
on the forum. We can talk there. We have a ton of fun things planned for the alpha and beta stages of Star Citizen as

81
00:05:35,039 --> 00:05:40,479
well. So if you are planning on playing Star Citizen and just want people to fly

82
00:05:38,479 --> 00:05:44,400
with, it'll be a lot of fun. Join up. Uh, casuals and hardcores are both

83
00:05:42,479 --> 00:05:47,759
equally welcome as well as just everybody else. We'll have something to

84
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:53,120
do for everybody. I'm sure the hardcores will stick in their kind of little groups and will play within themselves

85
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:57,919
and get a lot done. And I'm sure the casuals will just have a great time. So,

86
00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:00,400
join up today. They will constantly play

87
00:05:57,919 --> 00:06:05,039
with themselves. Um, join up today. Help us reach top rank three. That will be

88
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:09,039
awesome. Uh, as always, subscribe and thank you guys for all your continued

89
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:14,199
support throughout 2014. Thanks, guys. I'm back. I was never gone. I know.
