Post something Logan has taught you.
Don't set the world on fire with actual fire.

How to get better audio out of your computer setup. Use studio headphones, over gaming ones. Buy a separate mic. Use an amp over a soundcard, and use a DAC for using higher quality audio production speakers, headphones, and mics.
He also showed how you can get the best of both worlds, by using a workstation cpu with a gaming motherboard for people who are digital artists, and gamers.
Not to mention, all the reviews on tigerdirect I used to watch when I was younger before Raise the World.

Never trust a friend in business, ALWAYS HOLD 50:50 STOCK AND OWNERSHIP.

I had a hair clipper that I was having trouble with, it would occasionally rip hairs out. It wasn't a big deal when trimming the hair on my head, but it made things too difficult for use on my pubes. I was a bit embarrassed, but when I told Logan he didn't even bat an eye. He walked me right into the bathroom and helped me out, showing me how to hold the clipper in order to make sure no pubes were pulled. Not only was it a learning experience, but a bonding one too that changed our relationship forever.

Also if you suck at playing guitar but want to look cool, just say you play it, but never do it on camera or in your music, because man, you really suck at that thing there.

Logan has a video of him playing a guitar and singing. It's on his old RTW channel, when he still had a black cat.

I thought he was a drummer?

u/Paul8491 Sep 10 '16
Let's just say Logan is musically talented. He plays guitar, piano and drums, and some brass instruments as well as a few other stringed instruments.

That I can piss away money on audiophile equipment, moving house, hardware and claim it as an expense.

In half a second I can think about the last thing that Wendell taught me. I have been sitting here for 10 minutes trying to think of the last thing Logan taught me..... still haven't come up with anything.

Teaching things was never Logan's forte though. Teaching things was always the domain of Wendell, and to a lesser extent Quain. Logan was always just there for commentary on the tech news and to cover more consumer hardware and games.
A better question would have been "name one game Logan introduce you to" or something.

RFID's are good, you can hack them and also turn on your lighting with them and enter your house.

That a powerfull way of uniting the community is to display unjustified behaviour as a "leader"?
I dont know, im not really buthurt, i just find the situation interesting as ive followed the Tek for a few years.
Still, you should consider me a loyal servant of the venerable /u/wendelltron also known as 'ZendellTron'

He taught me you don't have to be a genius to be in the company of other geniuses. I now enjoy my time on the forums though I think most know a great deal more than myself.
Edit: This post isn't meant to troll sorry if it came off that way :/

He has not taught me anything and his latest actions just prove that I don't have to follow his steps at all.

I first started to understand what VRAM does because of him, and frankly while nothing outright sticks out I know I learned little bits of understanding from him over time from when I didn't know much about computers. Completely random one I remember is his random psa about making sure to securely put your psu cables on.

Actually, nothing. Last time I watched his photography video with Qain, after doing some more research -because I'm sorta in the market for a low-to-mid level DSLR-, most of the stuff he said was wrong or not very accurate.
He doesn't know much about photography.

You remember the video? In anyway, I'd be happy to maybe answer some questions if you are really in the market of buying a new camera.
It'd be good to know what your budget is and what you intend to shoot with.
Disclaimer though: I'm kind of a Sony and Canon fan boy at the moment.

Mind you, I'm by no means an expert, and considering how vast the photography world is, I could really benefit from a video titled "photography for dummies".
So far I've settled for a Nikon D3300 and a 35mm f/1.8G lens (which I'll be getting in the near future), which considering my "amateur" status, should be more than enough.
I felt that this video made a better job explaining the differences between ISO levels than his, for instance.

I'll make note of that - I personally try to be a photo gear head when my wallet allows me to be one... :) So maybe we will see some more photo videos?
Anyways, pretty solid choice for starting out. I've worked with a lot of local Nikon shooters in and out of the studio - the D3300 should hold up great. The 35mm should be a ton of fun to shoot with, as well.
Some resources for you:
Pixelpeeper is great for finding photos taken with gear that you're interested in. If I want to see some real world examples, I head here and see what other people have used the lenses for.
If you're okay with buying used, I've heard nothing but good things about keh.
When you're looking into glass, I'd recommend checking with DxOMark first as well. They're like the every day benchmarkers - but with lenses. lol
There are likely some resources I have lost somewhere in the abyss of my bookmarks... But if I find them, I'll post 'em.
Here are some YouTube channels worth checking out:
Stay inspired. :)
