bang what does it mean what does it mean
to be happy in a world where the whole every country everywhere is trying to go
after your internet that's basically what the news is this week uh we've got
european wikipedia sites go dark to protest copyright reform we've got that
the eu internet copyright bill was rejected hooray i think i don't know a
ton about it to be completely honest we got kids trapped in caves thailand and
elon musk trying to save him god apparently that makes sense this is
crazy also uganda has a new uh social uganda
has a new social media tax which is like actually incredibly
expensive compared to how much people make in general over there this is not
the way roll the intro
where is it good
it's good
uh someone sent me a message on the forum they thought that lance is wearing a tunnel bear shirt here
it actually really looks like it i i see it it's not but no i asked dad and he
showed me it's like it's a box that's not white
the white bar underneath his like uh says unboxing yeah
yay p-i-a yeah hey if you uh need to get
around uh certain social taxes in uganda
and yay ltx you don't need a vpn there
because you'll be doing interactive stuff in in like real life and things
because it's fun and good public internet access
yeah um so let's let's start at the top uh
wikipedia did a little bit of a protest in the eu
um to protest copyright reform and how they did that was they basically turned
off two different sites within wikipedia so when you go to
wikipedia you pick your language and each one of those is essentially kind of
its own thing so i believe they turned off france and spain
something like that oh no it's italian spanish and italian the spanish and
italian editions while in europe
were were off essentially so if you went to the site you just saw this giant
block of text that was like by the way that was posted by maine's on the forum
thank you very much i appreciate it my main user yeah you just saw a bunch of
texts that was like hey you're not seeing information
you're seeing a description of what they're trying to do in the ways that it
will affect look at this nice internet user we got
there we go that was slow i don't think that was
engadget's fault i think that's us um but yeah yeah so that that sucks for
anyone who had to research anything at that point
oh man i guess you could probably just go to a different version of wikipedia
and like translate the page or whatever but
yeah so this happened ahead of the
european parliament's final vote on the controversial eu copyright directive
uh which is the first time the region is updating its copyright
laws since 2001. they're ostensibly trying to modernize them but
it kind of looks like it's it's a war between
content creators like like uh movie studios and the
record business business versus business the giant
decentralized internet of people who just want to remix and create and upload
like memes that that's been at the center of this for a little while that's
how a lot of people have actually heard about this is the meme problem but it's
it has to do with a lot of other things as well and the link tax yeah so there's
two articles within the the big thing uh
which we have linked in the wan dock here
so if you are watching this later on you can check the
wan doc in the link below the youtube video or soundcloud yes there is an
audio or only version of this actually uh and you'll be able to find it there
uh the first article is article 11 which will require also post websites to pay a
fee to link to news publications or to use snippets from their articles so if
you're on facebook and you see an embedded snippet or an embedded link to
another article where you've got a little thumbnail image a part of the
title and maybe a description of the content facebook wouldn't be able to show that
unless they paid some kind of license fee to the owner of that content
i think yeah it's pretty like
it's ridiculous as if as if it's difficult as if facebook is
just going to spend all day every day licensing all the different pieces of content that
get uploaded the internet that day it doesn't make any sense
check out this one one quick thing i just want to show oops
um how wonderful this is we're able to stream
but i can't even like load web pages priorities baby yeah we got this though
yeah the stream is working but i can't see the chat so you know i am actually
not 100 percent convinced that it's working but it might be
i'm gonna go pre-recorded yeah yeah yeah
i'm gonna go with yes while this salute
apparently there's an exception in there um people were concerned about link tax
where if you've got some text and part of that
text is highlighted because it's a hyperlink
like check out our last review on this here that you wouldn't be able to have
that here hyperlink without paying the tax but i think there's an exemption for
that okay yeah because that would just break the entire that's what the internet's based on that's what google
is based on yeah and and there is another exemption
that allows search engines to to use your input snippets
yeah you want to be found because that's good for your bottom line yeah but you
don't want to be linked to and you don't want to
lift up other platforms that are aggregators basically because they're
just profiting off your content without paying you enough or like be used as an
image sharing host when that's not where you're supposed to be et cetera et cetera yeah a big part of
it is like the amount of money that a lot of music artists are not making
from youtube that they are making from spotify so
okay we're good opponents want these these musicians just to
renegotiate with youtube and not kind of stain the whole internet with a shotgun
blast yeah okay so my uh my webpage
finally loaded so twitch chat people there's the link there you go sorry
about the delay yeah so there's another article that's article 11. now then
there's also article 13 which requires websites to filter user
submissions and check them against copyrighted work that is so brutal and
would just like crush the forum and everyone's yes yes yes any online
platform that allowed users to post text images sounds or code
would need to assess and filter that content
which has a bunch of brutal implications which are nicely summarized by this like
party this pirate party every single ugc
site user generated content site would just be
this is exactly why this is exactly why wikipedia was protesting ah because they
are yeah okay exactly they're even pretty good about like exactly making
sure that everything's all okay but like
policing everything would be so here's a list
can i send this to you somehow can you click on this one which one source for
so i don't know you might call this bias because this is definitely one side of
the argument here this is uh julia retta who represents the the pirate party the
pirate pack you can still find good information from
knowing is always better go down you can find good information from here scroll
down consequences list freedom of expression limited obviously
yeah number one independent creators harmed
yeah and then there's all this like uh stifling of innovation and stuff because
if okay let's say you want to have a platform that gets user-generated
content if you need to police that then that either takes a ton of staff or
it takes an algorithm both those things cost resources so something like this
just solidifies incumbents and then bogs bogs small businesses down
in regulation that they just can't handle yeah
it's it's really interesting when
putting a law into place is is getting people to legitimately go to a pirate
party website and be like yeah yeah that makes sense like like but but that don't necessarily
agree with piracy that's that's an interesting check position at this point
surveillance risk uh due to high development costs for
monitoring technology this will likely end up uh
like the technology would be outsourced to some major players who make that kind
of thing so that there be a few large players who are the gatekeepers to
everything that's being uploaded so they have this data of what a large segment
of the population is uploading yeah that seems to go
okay it doesn't go against gd pr
or gdrp i always forget which way that goes uh
but it doesn't go against it i think it's rpg rp i also have the same thing
yeah i always remember the gd but after that i'm like uh it doesn't go against it but i think
it goes against the the point almost
because the the i think i think the point is to try to reduce the amount
that you're you're monitored online
if you don't want to be on a certain website anymore you can ask them to
remove all your stuff if you your those sites aren't allowed to keep
your stuff for way too long and now it's just like filter everything
monitor everything make sure everything is okay which
again it doesn't technically go against it this would be allowed
as long as it was disclosed and everything was okay and you could delete
it if you wanted blah blah blah but
uh it's just weird so it didn't go through for now
yeah the the wikipedia protesting was a few days ago i think it was on thursday that
they had their first vote but it's not over they're gonna they're basically
going back to the drawing board they're gonna rework the proposal and then all
of the members of european parliament get to
vote again in september 10 to 13.
this is a nice long weekend just yeah they get to be in a cabin together
also disaster for posting that on the forum
yeah that guy's legit yeah a lot of people in the chat are saying that we
look super saturated we are super sad you're not though what
i've been told by the people who set it up it's not actually over saturated it's
what the colored light on the back wall looks like oh i mean that is a pretty
that actually does look pretty realistic too this is a blue light shining on this
blue wall that's a reddish pinkish light shining on that red wall and then
there's pink leds behind that red wall so the walls just look crazy because
they're they're blue and red and then has blue and red being shiny plus luke
is just full of vitality his rosy cheeks are actually
just full of rose or yeah rose blood bloody red ribbon outside yeah
but you drink your milk yes yeah yeah
yeah i'm getting through various nodding and thumbs up from it
is everything good uh it's overexposed but we think it's
because the independent colors of lights on the colors
okay i can't tell because we have a gaming monitor that is not color calibrated at all so i
have no idea what it looks like
it looks good okay cool we're going with it yeah it's
fine best buy is going to have this on their monitors on their showroom floor
on all their tvs look at this
it pops baby oh my goodness that sells tvs
speaking of look at this the best segue ever elon musk apparently for whatever
reason saves the world and your children
from a cave that got flooded uh so if you guys haven't heard of it uh there's
like i believe it's a soccer team and their coach was just kind of exploring around for
what i don't know how this ended up happening but they were in thailand yeah
it's a soccer team of 12 thai boys yeah and their coach yeah i don't know why
they're doing this but they're exploring a cave that's cool outside
extracurricular activities kind of situation they hung out too long they
hung out too long in the cave it flooded uh and they kept on getting pushed back
further into the cave because as it flooded more and more and more
uh they they tried to keep getting higher ground and getting into more air
and all that kind of stuff so they got stuck god that's way oh yeah aren't they
like 2.5 kilometers in there now really i didn't yeah i don't know yes well
someone else i was talking to you told me Jake said they were like six miles in
there but the thing i read said two and a half k um which is a big discrepancy but
regardless that's scary as man like yeah
just having to retreat deeper into this thing so it sounds like at the very
least the flooded sections is 2.5 k because it says it it takes even the
most experienced divers up to five hours
that's right to swim through the 2.5 kilometers of jagged narrow channels
from where the how what i guess you're
not that many atmospheres down because you're like just barely under the water
okay it's gnarly apparently so they were reported missing on the 23rd of june
they were discovered nine days later by a pair days later by a pair of um
british divers yeah rescued who could do nothing yeah they just showed up and
they're like no you can't come with us because it's too crazy of a dive like
they have explored the possibility of getting the boys to swim out uh but none
of the boys can even swim they don't know how to swim let alone dive
and even if they were to dive they're trying to get them a special
like full face diving mask because normal respirators will probably just
get ripped off because it's like super tight so
to explain the super tightness too uh these guys have to be well they're
master divers for sure but they they like would at a base level have to have
the tech certificate because there's certain points where you can't have your
air tanks strapped to your back
so like i i couldn't find if they had to like run them
by their side or if they had to just like go off air for a second
throw the tank through swim through and then hook back up i
don't know what the situation is but this is not at all a simple dive it's
advanced enough that tragically a
either an ex-navy seal or current navy seal from thailand
actually did die no diving i think on his way back i didn't
know that yeah so and there's a ticking clock it's not
like they can just hang out and keep bringing them food there's a ticking clock because they're in the middle of
the rainy season which goes for like another three or four months until the
end of october i think uh
and there's rain forecasted for the weekend up until now there hasn't been
much rain so the water is going to keep coming
and they're running out of places to go in fact they might have beat they might be out of places to go
yeah yeah uh wait wait there's more
they're running out of oxygen the oxygen in the chamber that they're in
is down to dangerous levels like 15 or something like that so they had 10
rescuers with the boys who delivered food and stuff and their doctors and
nurses the boys and they got five of those
rescuers just to leave because they're just sucking up too much too much oxygen
and they're like bringing oxygen tanks in to the chamber just so they can
breathe that's pretty wild by the way guys i can't share screen
right now because i have i have no internet um
i'm gonna try to go on
what i can't believe this is happening look oh good god
okay we're still live apparently i can see it on my phone
i connected to lte on my phone
that's not saturated at all yeah whatever so
so if they can't walk out so they can't swim out so then they're
thinking maybe they could walk out so they've been pumping water out of there yeah but like freaking tons of it right
like millions of gallons yeah
and they've also been trying to dig down to them they've dug over 100 holes some
of them are 400 meters deep and this is where
elon musk comes in for two actually two of those things one he thinks he can
pump water out faster using some like tesla battery operated thing yeah
and two he's sending uh boring company engineers who he thinks they can dig
better or at least help out in some way
so so insane that he just got involved
he's like on twitter he's like this is nuts yeah so someone messaged him like
oh can you help with this elon help us and
he's like i'll help in any way i can and everyone just thinks that's like oh well
there's there's no way he can help he's saying he'll help in any way he can
maybe he'll donate a bit and move on and everything so he's like i have access to
the most talented digging engineers there are i'm just gonna you know ship a
team over we'll we'll try to pump water out faster and then this was my favorite
one uh he also discussed the possibility of inserting a nylon tube into the cave
to fill it with air like a bouncy cap that's a long tube so that is a very
long tube it's 2.5 kilometers presumably
and then they could just hang out boys yeah hang out
what yeah that just still doesn't solve the water problem if they're at the end of
the if they're at the like the deepest chamber they can get to
yeah maybe we can help out can we uh get some
hardware in there have a let get they can have a land and make a video
yeah yeah you can dive in there heck yeah
hosted by luke i would die if that navy seal died i'm screwed oh my
god i'm also a fairly large person so these confined spaces sounds like you
imagine these kids were in there for nine days like before they even had
contact having no idea if they were gonna check it out that's insane just
drinking the rain water and not eating
they're like all super weak when they get found holy cow
so prayers and thoughts and all that to
those kids at least they didn't eat each other i probably know that sounds insane
but that's like happened yeah wasn't there like a rugby team that
got lost in the mountains or something like a movie yeah yeah there's a movie i
think it's called a live or there's a plane crash
something like that yeah they referenced it in the simpsons i saw it when i was a
kid that's all i know but that's like that was a thing
anyways yeah more rain is expected there's a bunch of different rescue
teams people from all over are trying to help and this has been quite documented
so if you want to learn more about it you can check it out but yeah apparently
elon is getting involved because that's the world right now that's how that
works something crazy happens so elon shows up i think i think they're going
to make it i'm pretty hot pretty hope pretty optimistic i'm really sad that that navy
seal died you can actually see footage from inside the cave where the original
divers who found them took a video when they were speaking to them and i think
they even like were like face timing their families and stuff
check it out maybe they're above the ground
there are places where water runs uphill
right into the next topic uganda
all right yeah uh uganda social media is now a taxable activity
let me take you on a uh internet spiral journey that i went on this
afternoon when i was reading about this okay so first i went to like
well by the way this was posted by duck dodgers on the forum which is where i started on the forum thanks duck dodgers
i get to learn about this social media is now taxable what so
so it turns out that what the government has done there has told the isps that
they must block users from going to certain sites
namely uh twitter facebook
whatsapp tinder and dozens of others crucially tinder
yeah and a ton of others they're blocked unless they pay this it's not really a
subscription fee it's a per day fee of about 5 cents u.s which is 200 shillings
i didn't know there are multiple african nations whose currency is called a
shilling that's pirates of the caribbean stuff
kind of cool maybe they have doubloons somewhere doubloons that would be sweet so it's
five us cents a day i don't mean to it'll be insensitive i just i never get
to hear the word shillingham anyway i've already i'm digging the hole i'm going to reach
those thai kids this is getting worse
um so it sounds like an insignificant amount
of money to us but keep in mind that there are
how many is it millions of ugandans who survive on less
than a dollar per day so for this to be five cents or or like the the per capita
income is six hundred dollars so a year this would be nineteen hundred dollars
if you paid the five cents for every year there's also an incentive to sign
up for a month in advance rather than paying per day okay okay
so so that sucks and you think okay that's
just the government trying to make some money someone in the chat which i have
to read off my phone because what the heck is going on um it says that
portugal is doing a similar thing right now i hope not
but back on track there's it seems like it's like a like a money
grabbing like the government's just gonna yeah it's just a new tax and maybe they'll use it for a better internet
infrastructure or whatever but then i thought wait a second
uh countries like this usually have a high amount of disparity right so
when you see like the average per capita income
it's probably the case that that average actually doesn't represent that many people there's probably a lot of people
on the high end that boosts the average and a lot of people on the low end so i
thought those poorest people who live on less than a dollar a day they're
actually probably not affected by this they're probably not the internet users
or they certainly won't be after they are affected by this because they won't be internet users after this so then i
thought is this like a system of control is this like a way for people to
not be able to go on twitter not communicate not organize themselves not
have protests because they can't go on whatsapp they can't communicate with
each other right so then i thought oh this is kind of tin
hattie let's google uganda dictator
tyrant censorship buzzwords and so i went
of course i went to like their wikipedia and there's a huge laundry list of
things they've done in the past including uh arresting opposition
members hiring gangs of young unemployed
men to harass and oppress opposition
supporters and politicians and critically
in february of 2016 the government ordered the mobile service providers to
block social media platforms the government claims that platforms
such as twitter facebook and whatsapp spread rumors and create unnecessary
chaos the opposition has argued that the ruling was put in place to prevent the
public from reporting irregularities in the election process and and to to note
the the opposition thing uganda's president is serving his seventh term
right now yeah so apparently like the the elections that they have are kind of uh
fishy yeah so okay
then i learned anytime you hire a gang of people to harass
well ostensibly they were they were hired to keep the peace
oh yeah okay yeah yeah ostensibly so
then i found out that actually uganda put this in place after neighboring
tanzania put in similar things which is the next topic here yes they did it a
little bit differently uh what did they do oh yeah officially
dubbed the electronic and postal communications regulations 2018 not act
or anything 2018.
there was even a parenthetical thing that i took out of there that's a huge
name but this basically requires online content creators which includes
traditional media websites online tv radio channels but also individual
bloggers and bloggers and like regular people podcasters to pay roughly
2 million tanzanian shillings which is 930 us dollars in registration and
licensing fees so if you want to create content you have to like get
essentially like a lot of money business license like yeah that's a ton of money
man i wouldn't do that even for for
like uh a more wealthy nation where like your
average person has more wealth per capita that's still a lot of money if
you were like an american with a thousand subscribers which is hard to
get you might be like screw this oh yeah
yeah so creators must uh not only pay these
things creators must store their contributors details so let's say
you started like a little news network whoever contributes to your site you have to store that author's details for
12 months and have the means to identify their sources and disclose financial
sponsors which is like super orwellian like transparency sweet but it's also
kind of like who are the detractors who are support
who's supporting them um cyber cafes must install survey
financial sponsors i don't really mind that too much but
the uh well what's what's involved in this i
was just looking at the contributors details no that part like their address
and stuff that part i absolutely love but the like disclosing financial
sponsors i guess it would come down to
uh what details they want about the financial sponsors and how they have to
disclose it i guess but being like hey we're paid by whoever
to do whatever i don't really see a problem with that
but the rest of it yeah computers details for 12 months of course that
that's not great cyber cafes must install surveillance cameras yeah and
then there's all this vague language like failure to comply with the regulations which also forbid online
content that is indecent or annoying or that leads to public disorder which is
just can be anything if you don't like me yeah uh failure to comply with that is
gonna result in a five million shilling
or twenty two hundred dollar fine a jail
term a jail term of not less than a year or
both so you're screwed basically so there's
already content creators youtubers and stuff in tanzania who have
given up yeah so tanzania's gdp per capita like i was
saying earlier uh 879 us dollars so you wouldn't be
able to afford like the the average person there it
would not be able to take a year a year license alone
let alone if you ever screwed up that's over two years worth of income
yeah with no other expenses at all one of their famous youtubers
called the idea that this is like a tax the idea of using this is just like
another form of taxation a flimsy ex a
flimsy excuse is he just screwed then promoted by the government to restrict
free speech uh and wait it gets even interesting
earlier here oh one blogger not necessarily a tanzanian blogger
uh no i think i think it actually was yeah i think i wrote one blogger but in
the story it actually is this particular woman well i'm worried about that person
so it gets even crazier because they have their own like wikileaks there the
swahili swahili swahili wikileaks site called uh
jammy forums how do you say a word that ends in two eyes jamie yeah
i don't know but they have this history of of course people upload to their
whistleblowing site and you don't disclose who uploaded it it's just like
people who know or whatever like they're protected right well now
this site has to disclose the details which was of the content
creators who contribute definitely one of the reasons why they did that yeah
for sure yeah so now it's either well tell us who posted or get shut down
that's scary man pretty brutal i think i have internet again which is great um
and another thing that while you can tell that it's uh the calling it attacks
is just ridiculous is that the bogus fear there is pretty small oh yeah so
they wouldn't be getting a significant amount of money from it no it's just a
just a means of control yeah scary stuff
totally uh it's kind of similar to the european
copyright directive but just completely different
motivations but the end result is well that's what i'm wearing away i'm not going to delve
on this for too long because it's not technology and stuff but have you looked into the
things that were in addition in the so canada recently passed a law is it 100 i
don't think it's 100 in for a little while but essentially marijuana is like
legal and stuff and you can grow your own and blah blah blah
most of the population up here seem to be fairly happy about that but also in
that bill there was a bunch of other things uh like your be you're now allowed to be
pulled over without any form of cause or suspicion and like all this other oh i
didn't know that yeah you should look into it's pretty nuts um
people are pretty upset about that and it just got passed through because
everyone was just like oh yes a bill to make the weeds uh now legal yes i will
sign and there's a bunch of other characters you must clean james's room
as a kid like you write a note that you get someone to sign on the back it's
like you must be my slave yeah yeah yeah
i you just sold me our soul um
not it anyways we should uh we should we should take a little intermission from
the everyone's trying to be evil when show
you our sponsors we're talking about sponsors fastback
fresh books so uh you know if you're trying to run a
business in a country where you can do that um use freshbooks it is a super
simple to use invoicing tool that makes it so you can send
invoices in like less than 30 seconds you can generate them super quick you
can check to see if the person that received your invoice has actually read
it you can track your time with their timesheet function you can manage your
expenses to keep track of who owes you what which is actually super helpful
when you're when you're starting a new business especially a very small business maybe where you are the only
person in the business whatever your country calls that
i think it's sole proprietorship here yeah um if you're running something like
that these little bits of paperwork just creating an invoice checking to see if
that person received the invoice checking to see who owes you what
following up on all these different little things can take a huge amount of time so the fact that you can just
generate one in 30 seconds the fact that freshbooks can manage all your expenses
and expense things for you you just take a picture of their seat it handles the rest all that kind of stuff is actually
super freaking helpful it also has a feature that tells you um
oh i just read the same note again it tells you when uh clients look at their
invoice for the first time so that you know that they've seen it at all if you
have any questions and you feel that you need to reach out and ask their staff
you can just do that and you'll speak directly to a real human there's no phone tree no escalations no return
calls or anything you just talk directly to a person which is great god yes
it's nice very nice visit freshbooks.com when and
enter when and how did you hear about a section to sign up for a free
trial and private internet access p-i-a p-i-a
so i i believe um actually vpns are
currently uh attempting to be used in uganda to
get past the uh taxation of social services thing but
now uganda is trying to ban vpns yeah but hey if you're if you're a viewer
from there you can use this for a little while yeah and then until until the isp's banned it
out brutal quote from their president too being like it's actually more expensive to have a vpn than it is just
to pay
yeah except you're a sketchy dude but whatever private internet access supports a variety of vpn protocols and
types of encryption and authentication allowing you to dial in the exact level
of privacy protection you need it supports apps for Windows macOS Android
iOS uh in here it has Linus but i assume that means Linux
and google chrome with support for several all the machines autocorrect to
that yeah everything in the building i'm sure they do our personal phones have to too
it's a rule when you get hired you have to go into your like library you can
have tyranny um check it out today in the link in the
description or just like here
yeah i almost tickled you oh i was like
it's too hot in here for that it is additional features of pia include ip
cloaking which sounds super sweet browsing anonymously which is sort of
the point uh you can avoid data mining targeted advertising being blocked from
social sites uh you can block unwanted
connections which is cool advanced firewall you can unblock websites which
is what i think a lot a lot of kids in school and stuff use it for
because even i know some campuses if you live in the dorms and have internet to
your dorm there are certain websites that are even blocked there and it's
just like dude come on um and you can save money and then i think we have
Colton here for a special announcement
i see his feet ladies and gentlemen oh oh is that the shirt actually hold on
hold on that actually looks sweet this is supposed to go up a little bit more can you guys you can't just change that
now you know what ed you have to change it hey can't change that hey wayne show

replacement for being there smelling us wow
wow getting your nose right up in there pheromones you can't actually detect but
that influence your behavior yeah you'll be forever changed
by what you inhale at this event uh
well you choose what do you want to talk about next 20 minutes i don't know i
think is there anything happy is there anything that's like government
does something that isn't crushing their citizens um well this is kind of neutral
i think and i think we have to talk about it because it's pretty big many of
you may know that earlier this week facebook's
hate speech algorithms yeah erroneously or maybe not erroneously uh
they took down a post that contained
a a excerpt from the american declaration of independence
so leading up to the 4th of july i forgot
who it was there's a facebook page in texas that was posting snippets from the
declaration so they broke it up into 12 different parts and every day they're
they're uploading a part and i think it was like 12 days of independence basically and then on day 9
or something like that they got a message saying that your content has
been taken down so the message didn't specifically say
which content okay so it could have been any excerpt but they believe
that it's this excerpt that contains their individual posts wouldn't they
know because one of them just wouldn't be there this sounds like the easiest thing to
figure out ever true you are a critical thinker
um they did eventually like apologize and put it back so but
the post that got flagged was this little part that uh refers to native
americans as merciless indian savages
so you could you can check out the full quote by googling it or like looking on
our dock my question to you luke is
should facebook put it back
wow okay um that's okay one
all right technically i am american some people know this i have passports for
both countries i was born in canada i've spent every single
residential day in canada i've never had a residence in america but i technically
have both citizenship um and technically i'm like
sort of more american than i am canadian because i'm technically a second-class
canadian citizen meaning the government can deport me at any time for any reason
without a trial yes watch it buddy great yeah i do have to watch it because i can
be kicked out at any time um but i have a full american citizenship not like a
second class one or anything so i i'm technically like more stable there even
though i've never lived there it's weird um but i didn't know that was in there
that's a it's pretty aggro yes it's really interesting because it's
very aggro it's not like the like we've got another story that we'll
talk about in a second where an algorithm kind of flagged something and it was obviously
just not programmed well whereas this you could argue
uh maybe should have flagged this but then because of the status of the
document that's like well like this racism is allowed
because it's an important document well certain historical things right like
it's like i this is weird we're going down a weird
path for the land show this is not technology um but i i don't think
history should be changed personally um like i don't think a book should be
edited that was published in the past
because i don't think it's a because i think knowing mistakes that happened in
the past is a valuable thing i think knowledge is more important than
other things generally so but then like i don't know because
the content isn't a bridge does that mean that it should be allowed to be
broadcast just because it isn't abridged is it
like they don't post it and have part blurred out they don't change the
declaration of independence is still like is that that's still an important
document right it's not an important government document yeah so i don't really think it
should no i think should be left alone so there should be a lot but is that the
same as like leaving it alone is that the same as broadcasting it
i don't know man all right so here's uh
so personally i think i think they should be allowed i think it should
depend on the in the context personally if i
given the way so facebook is its own private entity it's
not a government thing so they can do whatever they want they could they could
be they could be like you know what no one's ever allowed posting that on this
website and then people that believe in that strongly would just not use the
website it's a private thing but
with their stance on things in general i think it would depend on so this is
again i just have to give an opinion based on what i think they would do because i think they're allowed to do
whatever they want um
given their stance on things it would depend on the context
if this person was like screw these people because it says this
in the declaration of independence then that i think facebook would then
step in and want it taken down if if they're just posting like this is
the 12 days until independence day we're going to slowly walk people through the
declaration of independence because it's fairly long and no one's going to read
this whole post in one little digestion thing but they might like it and share
it every day as we go through and then they just happened to get to that part i
personally think facebook would be fine with that because i don't think the
intent is there i don't think there was malice
cool built into it i'm not even sure if there was mouse if they get rid of maybe
so here's an easier more cut and dry one uh i think this happened yeah the same
week google adsense uh adsense
google oddssons decided that a web page
about a decades-old bill about sexual abuse
was adult content so and it decided that this webpage therefore should not be
able to show ads anymore so the page which has been up for six
years contains strictly legislative
information it's just all legal stuff
about a bill called the child sexual abuse and pornography act of 1986. so
that's a lot of hot words and the algorithm was like this is bad
blocked so then the the person who runs this
website which is uh govtrack.us
which is like a legislative research and tracking website uh that person
reached out to google and tried to make an appeal to like get the site back up
and right away got a response
uh saying no denied denied the request to unflagged
the page was denied and therefore they still can't run ads
the the site gets like 37 grand a year from running ads
it's a important site this particular page because the bill is
so old doesn't get visited that much so it's kind of a drop in the bucket for
them but if it wasn't
um so it's just funny because you can tell
because the site's been up for so long that they just made a tweak to the
algorithm yeah which made this uh get
flagged i think it's not really a manual thing right now it's all machine
learning but still the machine learning algorithm was like you know what
i hate it child porn
jesus yeah i'm not surprised you got picked up by something to be completely
honest it was just funny how they you can design and automate a system make these
little tweaks and it just propagates and affects so
many people and affects their bottom line
that affects their like their livelihood
but it's necessary because you just can't have humans going through all
these things it's just too much content yeah you know we should have less
content on the internet wait a second
these tanzanians are onto something we're making content right now man don't
kill our own jobs speaking of nothing because there's no segway for
this we're finally some uh some some
news that you guys are probably like very directly interested in AMD b450
boards they're coming out speaking of yeah
anyways uh AMD has still not formally announced the b450 chipset but
pre-orders and listings for b450 boards from three major motherboard
manufacturers have already appeared in austria and germany some stores list
some of these motherboards as in stock but also note that the product will be
ordered from their warehouse or distributor after an order is placed
which is essentially like they're saying that they they have that store is
confirming that they have availability it's not in that store's own warehouse
but their distributor has some and they can get it from them but it still
implies that you're gonna be able to get it in a few days so that makes it seem
like this announcement's gonna be really
yeah the ASUS prime b450m
a seems to be available immediately and many of the boards don't appear on the
manufacturer's websites yet which is weird it could be a retail leak which
happens sometimes but it seems fairly unlikely my question is why do these
kinds of things always seem to happen in germany in austria yeah that happened not that
long ago too always germany there's always like these german sites i'm always translating
web pages yeah i don't know i mean wasn't it like
walmart canada that leaked all of bethesda's e3 stuff
i don't remember what it like uh what
what was it ah i can't remember the name post-apocalyptic follow no
that makes sense but no rage rage rage two is it rage
the rage carry two do you remember that rage carry two yeah
it was a movie it was the sequel to carrie oh it came out in like the late
90s or 2000s yeah rage two was uh
no mic it's just one person spamming no mic but
everyone seems to be hearing what i'm saying he's right
you're luke and i'm james there's no mics here yeah none there is
absolutely no uh not a single mic mike but yeah the bethesda's rage 2 was
leaked by walmart somewhere i'm not necessarily sure where oh we're on the
wrong banner whatever it's not like that sponsor is going to be too mad at us
um yeah so i don't know that's that's cool
more uh more AMD boards coming sonos files for initial public offering
uh they filed with an offering size of 100 million dollars a placeholder amount
used to calculate fees that is likely to change i don't know would you buy sonos
stock off the bat i i because of that thing i mentioned
earlier i can't really invest in stock market because both countries want to
tax me so would you who knows uh if i could
i would want to do way more research into them because i don't know enough
about them right now i would not feel comfortable right now but i would want
to do more research it seems like uh apple and google are trying to very
aggressively take over that space and neither of them seems to be buying sonos
right now so i would be concerned well that's the interesting part about it is
they are going public almost because of that because of the competition in the
space they need money
and remember having a public offering is a fundraising activity
essentially so
i don't know i don't think i would yeah they're they're in a weird spot
right now but what's cool about their stuff though is uh later this year on
their sonos beam which just came out which is a sound bar it has the
it has alexa right now soon it's going to have alexa and google
assistant on the same device which i've i've never seen i
don't think i don't think there's a device out there that has that it'd be pretty cool there's the hail one
assistant for one task and then just hail that
hail a different uh assistance there is quite a few things that the overlap
isn't very good yeah like there's there's there's in in the venn diagram
there is definitely the outer circles yeah they're also going to be supporting
uh siri but i i didn't read specifically that siri is
going to be on the same device as these other assistants okay and i wouldn't be surprised if
there was like the apple model and then the everyone else model because i don't
see apple wanting siri to be on the same device's google assistant
there's just too much room for people to be like hey you answer this question hey you
fail at answering the same question right side by side yeah
uh speaking of
i'm just gonna go hey you uh seagate i don't know seagate announces a
mainstream SSD drive that's pretty neat the smallest model is going for seventy
four dollars which i believe is 250 gigs
and the one terabyte model is on sale for 299.
how about them steam leaks
you got to click the link though you got you got to see okay you get to see
all right which games have the most players but it but it only works for
people that have achievements outside of
games that have developer achievements specifically yeah so that's about half i
think it's actually over half 13 000 out of 23 000 yeah yeah about half of the
game is on there so you can see a list i think you went to the wrong link
actually did i you order the rs go to the rs1 darn it medium
you guys are going to see the dock for a second oh my goodness don't look at my
dock scrolls grows all right get it get it
it's leaking steam that's pretty pretty dang good actually
oh that pleases me what is it not here either oh my i
failed you ah team fortress 2 is in the lead oh hey
is this gonna work oh no man it's on here go farther where
farther down they've got this stuff there it is oh hey
team fortress 2 counter strike pub g
player estimate more people playing tf2 what really
it's all time though oh
okay
okay i don't really care
i am kind of surprised by some of this stuff like robocraft
i've never even heard of that
apparently i just downloaded this csv suite i needed it for sure
where's mod is that high wow paladins
i thought they were super dead they have a lot of players did they go free or
something well what if it was just from the time period that it was popular
was paladins ever popular i've never heard of it i've heard of it but i
didn't think it ever did very well maybe it's in it's big in a different market
or something is steem like a global thing do people use steam in india and
i think so brazil and stuff i think so
pretty sure can we let these people go on their lives now i think we can yeah
thanks for tuning into the show uh hopefully we didn't make you hate your government because uh this was a this
was an interesting rancho um
but uh yeah this is not the way it's not have a good
one bye
you make your best sound effects
hey thank you ltx thanks Colton hey what a
good boy he's a good boy good boy
