[3052.60 --> 3054.60] I think...
[3054.60 --> 3055.10] I think...
[3055.10 --> 3059.02] I guess the takeaway from this is pay attention to how different companies react to this.
[3059.02 --> 3059.22] Yeah.
[3059.84 --> 3060.16] Uh...
[3060.16 --> 3060.36] There.
[3060.56 --> 3060.92] That's...
[3060.92 --> 3061.98] That's a great takeaway.
[3062.52 --> 3064.04] So guys, uh...
[3064.04 --> 3066.64] Here, I mean, we can link you to, uh...
[3066.64 --> 3069.18] We can link you to the article where this is being tracked.
[3069.26 --> 3070.66] Actually, no, it'll be on the forum later.
[3070.92 --> 3072.10] We'll have it in the WAN topics.
[3072.34 --> 3072.58] Uh...
[3072.58 --> 3074.56] We'll have it in the WAN topics forum.
[3075.78 --> 3077.72] And check it out.
[3077.72 --> 3081.62] So find whoever supported this best.
[3082.66 --> 3083.54] Write it down.
[3084.22 --> 3085.28] Put it on a Post-it note.
[3085.66 --> 3086.58] Stick it to your wall.
[3086.70 --> 3087.32] Google Docs.
[3087.42 --> 3089.84] Next time you buy a motherboard, buy from them.
[3090.14 --> 3090.34] Yeah.
[3090.50 --> 3093.22] And let's see if we can start to reverse the tide.
[3093.30 --> 3095.28] Because ultimately, that's what it's going to take.
[3095.56 --> 3099.80] Unless the consumer habits change and these companies feel like they're going to get a
[3099.80 --> 3103.24] return on the investment that they're putting into support, they're not going to do it.
[3103.28 --> 3104.70] Because that's how business works.
[3105.16 --> 3107.30] You invest where you're going to get a return.
[3107.72 --> 3112.96] So brand loyalty, I think, is generally kind of not a good idea.
[3113.40 --> 3116.68] But I don't see this as a brand loyalty move.
[3116.86 --> 3116.96] No.
[3116.96 --> 3120.16] Because you're making a logical decision based on how a company acts.
[3120.58 --> 3125.02] And if something like this was to happen again, you're making a decision that is based
[3125.02 --> 3127.16] on how that company would react to that situation.
[3127.16 --> 3130.18] So it is actually inputting value into the product.
[3130.18 --> 3135.46] So you can look at the overall value proposition and go, look, this has more value to me.
[3135.72 --> 3136.92] I'm going to purchase it.
[3136.92 --> 3138.80] Not I'm brand loyal to this company.
[3138.86 --> 3139.60] I'm going to purchase it.
[3139.76 --> 3143.02] I've made purchasing decisions based on companies.
[3143.02 --> 3153.36] One of them that I've told stories of on the WAN show before is EVGA because of how well they treated me in the past when I was not a creator.
[3153.74 --> 3153.84] Right.
[3153.98 --> 3155.68] This is when I was absolutely on my own.
[3155.82 --> 3157.58] It's a long story, so I'm not going to go over it.
[3157.62 --> 3158.52] But they were awesome.
[3159.10 --> 3160.96] And I don't buy everything from EVGA.
[3160.96 --> 3161.00] Okay.
[3162.10 --> 3163.74] Clearly, you can see my builds.
[3164.04 --> 3164.22] Yeah.
[3164.22 --> 3165.06] I've done them here.
[3165.54 --> 3172.66] But in situations where I'm like, oh, look, one of my options is this, and it's pretty darn close to another one, I have often gone with them.
[3172.82 --> 3179.08] But I don't buy their stuff exclusively at all because I'm going for what I think is the best value at that individual point in time.
[3179.52 --> 3180.74] Do you want to totally change gears?
[3181.06 --> 3181.44] Yeah.
[3181.44 --> 3183.46] This was posted by SC2 Mitch on the forum.
[3183.58 --> 3184.96] Original article is from CBC.
[3185.50 --> 3190.66] A Canadian has been charged with spamming Twitch.
[3190.96 --> 3192.70] What?
[3192.96 --> 3194.28] Brendan Lucas Apple.
[3194.28 --> 3195.56] Part of the can spam thing?
[3196.18 --> 3200.40] Is subject to a court order preventing him from spamming Twitch.
[3202.32 --> 3203.64] I know, right?
[3204.80 --> 3213.96] So the 20-year-old has been charged with mischief in relation to computer data by the Supreme Court of British Columbia.
[3214.18 --> 3214.72] Local guy.
[3215.12 --> 3220.54] For allegedly sending 150,000 offensive messages through Twitch's chat system.
[3220.80 --> 3220.88] Offensive?
[3220.96 --> 3221.28] Offensive too.
[3221.44 --> 3221.76] Nice.
[3221.84 --> 3228.48] The messages hit more than 1,000 different channels and included racist, anti-Semitic, sexist, and homophobic slurs.
[3228.60 --> 3229.74] Thanks for representing Canada.
[3229.74 --> 3243.80] He could face up to 10 years in prison as well as a civil order barring him from using, creating, or selling certain types of software, including any robot, bot, crawler, spider, blacklisting software, or other software that could be used to target the streaming platform.
[3243.80 --> 3253.98] He allegedly used a service called chat search, whose stated purpose is to flood, destroy, or simply demolish any Twitch TV chat room.
[3253.98 --> 3260.48] The bots were posting an average of 34 spam messages per minute, while on some channels the rate was 600 messages a minute.
[3260.48 --> 3276.48] Employees at Twitch dedicated more than 300 hours to tracing the attacks after receiving over 375 individual user reports regarding spam messages containing racism, homophobia, sexual harassment, false implications of viewbotting, and soliciting child sex exploitation material.
[3276.48 --> 3277.48] Oh, wow.
[3277.48 --> 3277.98] What?
[3277.98 --> 3278.48] Wow!
[3278.48 --> 3279.48] Wow!
[3279.48 --> 3288.02] So this all allegedly happened between February and May of 2017, and he was charged on December 1st of 2017.
[3288.02 --> 3288.74] Wow!
[3288.74 --> 3288.82] Wow!
[3288.82 --> 3288.86] Wow!
[3288.86 --> 3288.90] Wow!
[3288.90 --> 3289.32] Wow!
[3289.32 --> 3289.90] Wow!
[3289.90 --> 3290.90] Wow!
[3290.90 --> 3291.90] Wow!
[3291.90 --> 3292.90] Wow!
[3292.90 --> 3306.90] And they prompted the company to file a civil lawsuit on March 31st of 2017 against Shaw Communications, PayPal Holdings, CloudFlare, who is Privacy Corp, and who is Guard, Inc.
[3306.90 --> 3308.32] Dang.
[3308.32 --> 3310.72] And Apple was charged on December 1st of 2017.
[3310.72 --> 3311.72] What?
[3311.72 --> 3313.56] I guess they're just shootin' at everybody.
[3313.56 --> 3314.72] Speaking of Apple.
[3314.72 --> 3316.72] We- You know.
[3316.72 --> 3320.72] I was actually kinda thinking maybe I would do a video update.
[3320.72 --> 3323.62] People have been asking, where the heck is our iMac Pro coverage?
[3324.24 --> 3324.38] Oh.
[3324.66 --> 3324.88] Yeah.
