works peter was researching something the
other day and one of our one of our videos that was uh me on techwiki
like teaching something was in the thread oh that's of like the person teaching
something to peter and i was like this is nuts ready yep
hey welcome to the wan show guys we've got a great show for you today i hope
yeah i actually haven't seen this guy in like a month three weeks something like
that yeah he's been like cavorting about in asia yeah perfectly innocent though
no weird kinds of tourism
it was taiwan not yeah not not thailand
taiwan um anyways let's roll the intro
oh boy
oh man
this is not gonna be a good show
we are off to a real rough start here
yeah yeah yeah but that's okay because it's not
about how you start it's about the big finish
would you believe i'm trying to hire a new writing staff
would you believe that this is like part of the process like how many dick jokes
you can come up with oh and during the interview no no definitely not there's
there are bonus points for saying that they think i'm funny though only one
person did it today so um you know i want to commend that one individual one
person on their honesty oh yes yeah i want to commend them on
their honesty because everyone else they're like closet thinking i'm funny
because i know everyone thinks i'm funny of course yeah not so much all right
fine fair that's fine yeah no i'm actually finally um
finishing up the writer search that i started four months
ago or something like that i've been traveling so much that i just have not
had time to do it properly and i would rather
just have it take too long and go through everyone fairly versus you
know trying to spread it out over um you know many weeks and then like the
people that i evaluated at the beginning maybe i'm not using the same standards
as the one at the end like i wanted to be able to sit down and like do it in big chunks
um and so we've uh started our interviews
we're not quite done interviews yet but um we're looking to make a decision
pretty soon so we're going to be increasing the writing side writing team
size here by like 40
60 i don't know how many people you hire math is not a strong point two to three
oh wow i thought this was one position no
holy cow yeah two to three are you
that i've are you expanding channels
because that's a lot of writers to add on so we haven't talked about anything
yet okay but um actually so you don't
attend linus media group monday morning meetings anymore because you are not an
employee of language i still get the emails and i poke through them sometimes just to make sure like the power isn't
going to go out or something without me knowing i i gave i actually gave like a
big a big speech on monday so i was i was talking about um oh wait should we
talk about some of the topics we're going to have today or should i just get right in you know what i'll get right
into this we'll talk about topics in a minute yeah um it's pretty on point so i
was talking about um some of the changes that have been taking place on youtube
lately and how they've affected our channels yeah yeah um you know youtube
won't admit anything um i've never i've had correspondence with them not just
with my partner manager who is quite a senior member of the team and who i i
believe when he tells me you know nothing changes or nothing has changed
or that it's machine learning and nothing discreet was changed but that
doesn't mean that it isn't always learning and always changing
and i've even gone higher up the food chain than that
and everyone insists we didn't change anything we tweaked no dials but i just
i i have a hard time i have a hard time buying it because we know from the other
things that youtube says like i went to brandcast and youtube's talking about um
you know um raising authoritative voices
when it comes to trying to make sure that they're a platform that promotes credible
information but can you raise an authoritative voice
without suppressing yeah another one
you're saying yes you can no i'm agreeing with you i see yeah because no
you can't yeah you can't elevate something without pushing something else
down that's just the way it works especially when sorry to jump in here
for a second but youtube kind of at this point like has the population like they
don't really have a ton of expanding more to do other than people getting
internet or people getting to the age where they can watch their own youtube
fun fact they're no longer going to report on unique uh unique visitor
increases anymore interesting you know why because they're already over two billion
a month oh my gosh so like yeah so like who do you go for now
nothing that they can do can sound impressive and sound like growth to
their shareholders anymore so they're just like this is have everyone we're doing great we're just like we can't
talk about it anymore though because like a point one percent improvement
in fairness to us it's still 20 million more people but it's like it's not
impressive yeah right yeah so like if you're if you're taking this platform that like
yes it's expanding don't get me wrong here i understand that but if you're
taking this platform that has like this kind of set amount of users if you're i
understand it's not how it works just hold on um if you start pumping someone
you have to reduce push for other people there's only
so many eyeballs and you know there's been problems on youtube i
understand there's more eyeballs all the time that have been identified uh like
the black hole thing with conspiracy theories or flat earth or fake moon
landing or anti-vaxxing or whatever else you know there's there's things that are
relatively low-hanging fruit um that
hold on a second one moment please
technical difficulties
i'm just checking to see if uh okay cool so in february youtube demonetized
anti-vaxx channels uh facebook youtube to suppress anti-vaxxer content this was
from pcmag and march 7th good so there's other sources so i don't have to be the
source for this so youtube is suppressing anti-vaxx content um
now so oh no so there's certain things that i
completely agree with because that's incredibly dangerous um anti-vaxx
content not suppressing it because anti-vaxx content is super stupid
um so there's things that i agree with
but there's also potential collateral damage so one of the problems that was
identified on social media in general not just on youtube is that once you
watch like if you go okay for lulls you know you want you
show a friend some stupid tai lopez video because
you're like that guy you know the guy with the
knowledge you know remember that guy and they're like no no i'm like this guy
all of a sudden you're you're recommended your ads it's just full of
all those bloody get rich quick youtube
gurus and it's so obnoxious okay so there's
this problem that's been identified in online on social media in general with
echo chambers and with one search for a given topic all of a
sudden just you might slightly be interested in this
yeah or not just interested even just curious and all of a sudden it's it's
put in front of your face and when you're when you're not as media savvy
you might just see something on facebook
and go oh it's credible it's printed in black and white like it's
it's the craziest thing in the world but that same
just because something is printed in the in black and white doesn't mean that
it's true that same education that's been
trying that people have been trying to to give to people since the freaking
1800s is still a big deal today and so
so what happens is you end up in this in this kind of this
death spiral of fake moon landing flat earth whatever
just from watching one stupid video and a lot of the people that perpetuate
these conspiracy theories speak in a way that may not sound
authoritative to you the educated viewer but to other people apparently does
so anyway one of the ways it might sound it
might not sound believable but they're trying to be authoritative almost always
so like exactly it makes sense that it might sound that way exactly intent so
so one of the theories we had was that in order to
prevent um you know these kinds of of echo
chambery things from happening youtube might have been de-emphasizing
um more niche content and then pumping
stuff that's safer now
that was the theory and we were kind of like oh well we're tech we're kind of
niche we're also a niche within tech like quite frankly a lot of the content
that we upload would have absolutely
no place on uh a more mainstream tech content
channel like like marquez's like come on
it wouldn't make sense for him to do his audience wouldn't like it and it it
makes sense that it goes up on our channel gets fewer views etc etc etc um
so we were looking at it going okay well maybe part of this is we're just
more niche and so people because we noticed the biggest dip in viewership
was on our back catalog so maybe what's happening is instead of people watching
one of our new videos and then getting bombarded with our
massive back catalog of 4 000 videos something that had a huge benefit for us
and generated a lot of subscribers maybe instead of that
well they're being fed some marquez and
some austin and some gamers nexus and whatever else and to be clear we love
all those guys and that's cool fine whatever but it definitely did have an
impact on our viewership over the course of this year so from there i actually had some really
great conversations at the youtuber youtube creator summit and um derek from
veritasium posted a great video did you watch that by the way
posted a great video on his theory about why his shade ball video went viral
and um basically his theory it's funny
because i in some ways i give youtube like so much credit
like that like the puppet masters or have all these different strings they're
pulling on his theory was so simple that i forget whose razer it is where
the simplest solution is is that occam's razor thinks so anyway
yeah the simplest solution is usually the correct one his theory was as simple
as youtube has taken the um
the the click-through ratio that you get with your with the the the clickiness of
your title and thumbnail and it has shifted the axis so that
a smaller difference in click-through ratio gives it a greater proportion
more promotion on the site and then a small difference the other way gives you
way less so instead of it being kind of linear if your click-through ratio is
great you're like way up here and if your click-through ratio sucks you're
like way down here um so that was another interesting theory because we
have also had our click-through ratio decreased this year as we've moved away
from more click-baity titles and click baity thumbnails which sucks but it's
something that we've committed to our audience that we're gonna do it just means that we'd really appreciate if you
guys clicked the bell yeah and then watch the video right away yeah that
actually makes a huge difference even if you're not going to actually watch it
right now if you drop what you're doing start the video put your phone back in
your pocket i don't care but if you just
just click and just just go about the rest of your day go watch it later
doesn't matter that initial click-through ratio
basically determines everything about how that video is going
to perform as far as we can tell that's derrick's
theory and it's so simple it might just be right yeah so anyway
ltt has actually struggled in terms of viewership this year it's actually it's
back up in the last four to six weeks or so and we are tracking a really good
direction right now but coming back to our all hands meeting
this monday this was a very very long story wow we're 12 minutes in um coming
back i'm engaged right now coming back to our all hands meeting this monday i
actually did stand up in front of everyone you know when i stand up during the monday morning meeting there's
usually a little serious good news everyone yeah um i basically went look
this is something that i've really struggled with not just um
professionally but also personally you know trying to figure out
what am i doing what am i doing wrong what can i do to fix it um does the
audience just plain not like me anymore um is is is pc hardware losing its sex
appeal like i was trying to identify what it was because unless i know what
the problem is i cannot fix it and
um what i ultimately came to was that there was a
combination of audience sentiment things that did need to be addressed you know
talking to the audience directly about things like doing less offensive thumbnails and
titles that kind of thing you know making sure we're appending the
the brand and the product wherever that makes sense things like that i thought
that was part of it i also thought that some kind of change whether a manual
change or an algorithmic change on youtube side was part of the problem and
then the bigger conclusion that i came to is that maybe
if we build our business correctly it just doesn't matter
because where ltt has struggled this year
techlinked has actually picked up
nearly all of the lost watch time nearly all of the lost
viewership and lost revenue and i kind of went well techland was an
accident after the failure of channel super fun
and a bit of a stagnation period that we
went through with tech quickie to be clear tech quickie's going really well
right now so massive shout out to john and dennis
so after kind of a stagnation period for tech quickie i was full like triple down
mode on ltt i was like okay we just throw all the ltt has literally
ten times as much staff as any other channel even now
but what i realized is if i can't ultimately control it well something
that i can control is this diversification strategy so technique
happened by accident my homeboy riley lost his job because his company went
out of business and i was like yo dog i've been trying to hire you forever you
twit get out of the dumpster get get out of the dumpster get get come on get get
on come on and you know riley he's driven to do the
tech news i think we all know this he's driven to
to to to do the tech news for the people um so we created techlinked and
techlinked was a an accidental complete
success like that channel is freaking awesome i
get my tech news from tech linked like it's awesome you get your tech news from
nice i genuinely watch it all the time
yeah it's great and clearly a lot of people do tech linked regularly gets
half a million views of video even only has like 700 800 000 subscribers like
it's outstanding yeah it's a great show um anyway so i was looking at it going
well maybe we're just maybe we're just thinking about this too narrowly
maybe the answer here is to
broaden the net instead because that way every time
tech linked struggles a little bit and you know needs a needs a fresh a fresh
coat of lipstick or you know every time ltt
loses its its groove or every time tech quick he
runs out of things people need explain as if that'll ever happen
something else can carry some of that weight and we can spread things out the
other really cool thing about techlinked is that it doesn't rely on me
yeah at the beginning of techlink i was far and away the top performing host on
that channel in terms of the views that each video would get like of the top 10
i was all but one of them and then of the bottom 10 i wasn't in any of them
like i was clearly my face was driving more clicks
really interesting fact over the last couple of months i've actually been on
the bottom half which i think is great that is because
it means that riley and james i mean we've had dennis host we've had uh alex
host we've had yvonne host it means
it means that people are connecting with the team
and with the brand not just linus sebastian the person who quite honestly
can't do everything forever and so i was so so basically i had this
um this sort of magic moment where
i went okay ltt is starting to recover which is good
if we can hire um
dodge a bullet there uh but also maybe it's not the future maybe it's just one
part of the future and we can we can
bring people more types of tech content that
bring them happiness in other you know tech ways and that's been one of the
great things about the channels that you guys have expanded is like if you liked
linus tech tips and you don't want an education channel or a news channel or a
channel of us playing with weird toys and being very cringy you could just
keep watching the line of tech tips it didn't matter and lion detectives will
as far as i can tell carry on just as well as it has and other channels will
keep carrying on and you're maybe expanding what are you expanding to are
you saying at this point i don't know so it was really interesting because
normally when you enter the hiring process you know you might go in and say
uh you know i really want someone with um javascript experience or whatever
okay you set out what your your job requirements are yeah
um well i am just looking at all my
applicants and i'm figuring out what can i do with
this person best applicants are and then i will i will
create programming it's actually there's some a little bit larger companies than
flow plane uh that do this in a lot of different spaces you try to find people
that are extremely talented and passionate and you go like welp
i'll make you super valuable let's go uh it's it's actually if you can manage
it it's a very apparently cool way to do things so not necessarily just the new
people but there's people who are already here that the new people could
come and alleviate some of their workload and maybe they could pursue a
passion project james and riley have been really into
talk linked do you know talk linked okay totally
different from tech linked because it's just one topic instead of many topics
and it's long instead of short yeah um
and honestly the last the first episode kind of rough the second episode a lot
better and the i happened to eavesdrop on sort of a
a debrief conversation and they had identified basically everything that
they needed to fix and they're like they're iterating and they're they're going through that creative process and
i'm looking at it going like wow like this is great this is me witnessing the
machine working yeah um and but they don't have
time right so james has produced i think four
ltt's in the last two weeks because jake's been on vacation
anthony's been tied up preparing some of our really cool boots that we're gonna
have for ltx he's got 10 years of pc gaming he has 10 gaming rigs to
configure build and benchmark and set up demos on
like uh so he's been super busy
alex has been tied up he's actually putting together our like maker space
next door right now yeah like so james we've been leaning on him really heavily
but that means he hasn't had a ton of time for talk linked um so you know we
could bring these new people in they could lift some of that load and then we can
kind of spread things out we can figure out what makes sense i mean it makes each person a little bit more agile as
long as we keep a really great team dynamic here and as long as we stay
passionate about tech whether it's news
news is important riley whether it's news or whether it's something else um
yeah i i guess yeah we're we're gonna we're gonna do more stuff though you
know i'm i'm i'm not done yet
cool you know i was thinking about it not thinking about actually quitting but
thinking about phasing myself out um you know it's you've been sort of talking
about it for a while yeah i i was i was really thinking about it i mean you and
i chatted about it back at ces i think um and i've just been kind of
considering whether like whether i'm done um you know and when the when the
channel is not performing well because at the end of the day it's not
up to me it's it's not up to you it's not up to
the rest of my staff like you know everyone here could go oh no linus you
know we really want you to keep being the face of the company in the face of
the channel and i'd go well yeah that's great but if the audience doesn't want
it then like it's a nice sentiment but it
actually doesn't matter yeah
you could pivot to uh hear me out
you could pivot to like vlogs of you doing hey hold on hold on
i'm not saying daily vlogs or anything just what am i going to be a family
vlogger now no that actually isn't where i was going to go with it hold on
hold on you really enjoyed your like rc car
hacking electronic stuff yeah the gun's going a little bit
further away um just like you experimenting with technologies in
ways that you actually want to and just like fumbling around and trying
different things instead of trying to go with this like
hyper entertainment or hyper so we've done a bit more of that or
whatever i know yeah but having a little bit even more free form and being like
off the line of sections channel so it could be like pretty separated if you
wanted to here's one problem with that
at 4 000 videos in i've run most of the experiments that i
was kind of like wondering about when i was in high school yeah yeah i have so much more
resources now than i used to you know one of the things i really struggle with
right now is just
having too much resources like people got mad when i upgraded my
gaming rig so there's a couple problems one is that people don't think critically sometimes
so they were like why are you calling a titan graphics
card slow so the thing is depending on what generation of titan is
it is it could be really slow by today's standards it is it could be literally
the fastest card on the market all the way down to slower than
literally anything that nvidia currently sells
and then you know you've got people that are frustrated because for me upgrading
my personal rig is as simple as showing up at nvidia for a sponsored
project of all things and saying that i've been finally finding time to play
games lately um but anno 1800 is like
chugging on my system and them just being like
what i'll put a graphics card in the mail people people get mad about that
and i get it but the flip side of it is um
the alternative i guess is for me to just not tell you
yeah because you could be an influencer 1
20th my size and i use the term influencer
as like the i word um so let's say an
online content creator literally 120th my size and getting something like a
graphics card sent to you is easy i mean even when we started lioness
tech tips we had 200 000 subscribers
yeah and one of the first videos that luke worked on when we went indie was
our review of the first gtx titan yeah
like it's not like this is new so the only
so if you're gonna get mad at me about it you're well within your rights but
just understand that anyone else out there who is not telling you that
they got sampled a card for complete for doing a project or whatever the case may
be is probably just not telling you there are exceptions
but we believe in transparency if nothing else
also it's not for my personal rig
it's for a video there you have it so there's your full
disclosure hey guys i'm working on my personal rig this
video was sent or this video card was sent over by nvidia this motherboard was
sent over by gigabyte that's it we are we are fulfilling our
obligation and so if you want me to just say hey i'm working on my personal rig
here's the parts i'm using i could do that but i just don't i don't think
that's good enough and not just i don't think that's good enough the fcc doesn't
think that's good enough so i mean they don't have any jurisdictions
yeah at all and so but it's a good idea to i
could just not but for my part i would rather take a little
bit of negativity and uh
just deal with it and there's people that are going to be resentful but i guess my response to them would be
um you know where's your channel
where's your investment in building something
so that people want you to show their products on it
like i'm not saying that anyone can be a youtuber i'm just saying that
you literally won't know unless you're like really
trying to do it give it a shot and then should people be
should people resent you if someone sends you a graphics card
i don't know have you have you heard taylor swift's new song i haven't
oh boy do i sound like her please don't tell me no actually no no no no no no no
no no no no no no stop it
that actually ties in really well to what i would say right there is the
title of song as you need to calm down you're being or and then a part of the
lyrics is like you need to calm down you're being too loud and the whole
thing is just like leave it alone and this is i think one of those kind of situations where like he's he's telling
you i i have seen a lot of creators do a
lot worse things where they hide it or there's something going on in the
background and they're not communicating that stuff him saying like hey they sent me this
card it doesn't mean go buy this card it's the best one no and i didn't say
that no i have never recommended a titan to anyone no
nvidia knows that they still sent it yeah it means hey i got this card i might as
well use it it's gonna fulfill all the things i really care about
sweet dunks literally the fastest card so
cool put it in i don't know and people are all over the map because on the one hand
you've got people mad that i'm putting in an rtx titan and then on the other
hand you've got people mad that like what kind of tech influence are you not
even running slide
yeah yeah you've got too many people in your audience at a certain point like you
can't please everyone yeah yeah exactly
um this shirt is kind of pleasing though we should probably do ad spots oh right and
surely you mean sponsor spots oh right oh because our sponsor integrations and
placements surely do not compete with youtube's ad formats yep we should do a
lan show on that at some point why we have to call everything sponsored that
would be awesome just kind of some inside baseball for you ladies and
gentlemen uh ridge wallet yeah where's the ridge wallet
they didn't give us a ridge wallet to talk about
uh they might have been hoping mine would be here oh shoot but honestly to
be screwed up straight up hey jake
jake daly drives one is brandon getting one
hey brandon saves the day yeah thanks
brandon so the reason why i don't have mine on me is because
uh i was traveling you didn't lose it and i lose my stuff way too often and i
didn't want to lose it oh all right that is why i actually believe see
this is why he said that because it's happened multiple times he lost the
first phone that he ever earned as an influencer and i'm going to use the word
earned because you don't become an influencer by accident he left it on a
plane was it lg g3 g3 g3 but it still haunts
me to use the dork so stop carrying pointless items around in
your pockets like receipts old hotel room keys or spent gift cards the ridge
wallet is designed to help you carry less it uses two metal plates that are
bound by a strong elastic band keeping all your cards tightly together but
still easily accessible it's rfid blocking and it's lifetime
guaranteed it comes in different types of metal like aluminum titanium and
carbon fiber which is not a type of metal but chill and you can use offer
code ltt to save 10 percent on a ridge wallet at ridgewallet.com
ltt oh you want to hit me with carbon fiber whoa
it's lighter go freaking figure who would have found
such a thing wow ah also for today's
show is savage le jerky where's my maple buffalo bacon you can pick between these
two and i am salivating already oh
savage jerky was made by a group of friends that were tired of the same
mediocre jerky they were a snack that was flavorful spicy and something that
you wouldn't regret eating later they've got 13 different flavors of jerky like
moho ghost pepper buffalo and my favorite
maple buffalo bacon you might you might regret
regret you might regret you know
ghost pepper buffalo a little bit partially you won't regret the flavor
you might regret what it does to you you might regret what it does to your
toilet yeah but hey it's yummy
and they don't just sell jerky you can try out their hot sauces i haven't tried
the mojo habanero one that i'm holding up right now but the ghost pepper one is
or the carolina reaper one that's the one i have it's so good i really i
haven't tried this sauce but i really like this jerky so it's probably good um
they've also got their barbecue sauces and they've even got a
spice rub that goes great on anything
they've got a promo on right now buy three bags of jerky and get one free
heck yeah so check it out at lmg.gg
savage jerky finally we got this plate

already gift packed and with code ltt you can save 15 so just head to lmg.gg
displate when oh and apparently these are for sale
honestly these are really sharp that's cool these are like
yeah these are pretty cool you know how people used to get those metal car signs
in their garage metal tech signs in your computer room
or where you have your computer perfect that's cool yeah
this one made me like a tiny bit sad because you're not on it yep
i checked yeah i was curious
all right back to the show ladies and gentlemen why don't we talk about the tech topic
um yeah why don't we talk about the 64 core threadripper yes so this is a rumor
right now rumor status uh this was posted by clueless gamer on the forum
it's definitely a rumor wccf tech
they claim amd is working on a 64 core
128 thread threadripper part for launch in q4 of 2019.
now this was something that was
very recently rumored to be going away altogether threadripper was like on
amd's roadmap and it was like then kind of off not on it yeah
and then now there's a rumor that we're still going to have it
i'm going to say something unpopular oh i don't think this skew makes any sense
i think amd has such a strong end
i am take everything i'm saying as a
rumor and the reason for that is that we
haven't actually seen third gen ryzen performance yet yeah so
i am oh we're coming back to this i am assuming based on amd's numbers that
they have provided that they are not lying
and that third gen riser kicks ass riser
did i say riser riser ryzen sorry all right so i am assuming that they are
not bull crapping around
i kind of like riser right someone should make a riser product line
all right enough sorry
here just twist a little bit take it
thanks yeah it looked like a nipple pinch anyway
so i'm i'm going based on that third gen ryzen is going to be awesome
so here's my here's my counter to thread
ripper pitch you already have 32 core thread ripper okay that already
exists on the ryzen 3rd gen
mainstream platform you are already going to have a 16 core
32 thread chip i would i would postulate that for the
vast majority of workloads that is already
more than enough
i i realize i'm changing my tune a lot because back when intel was determined
to keep quad core the maximum for mainstream forever i was like
yo where's my course for mainstream i absolutely think so for
some scenarios where you're trying to build out like serverless clouds and stuff by
epic yeah
i just it feels completely unnecessary
because verizon whatever it is 30 90
something what's the future of their effort again what's their future of the epic
processors 30 what no epic is uh epic is going to
be on there so zen 2 epic is going to be called rome
okay it's coming okay very soon okay okay so
i could still see them doing thread ripper as a 20
24 32 lineup or something like that
but that's three skus it's hard to say if it's worth
maintaining a completely separate socket and chipset platform for it
um it's already like it's like it's it's so
niche the only reason i could think of to do it would be to just
put the screws to intel but even then it's totally unnecessary
like we already kind of have intel isn't going to have
anything to compete with even a 32 core thread ripper
within the next 18 months as far as i can tell yeah so this is just
when do we get to the point where we're honestly just giving up too much of our
single threaded clock speed for the sake of having more cores
and if we really need 64 cores why aren't we just getting an epic there
is very very little that i can think of
even for a workstation workload that needs 64 cpu cores i hadn't heard the
rom you call that rom like r-o-m-e yeah yeah okay i hadn't heard the rome news
so it sort of made sense to me is there specs out for what rome will be up to 64
course so basically they're just repurposing rome yeah as a workstation
product which i mean i guess if you're building the damn thing anyway
okay maybe if it's easy
it doesn't make it yeah the thing about threadripper though is it's overclockable
i don't know that i would recommend overclocking a 64-core processor
so it just feels like the the product without a customer
because you're either a little bit lower than it probably or a
little bit higher than it probably there's it's fairly unlikely you'll be
right on so if i'm amd and there's any truth to it would be fun the rumors here
yeah so okay if this isn't about building a practical
product yeah and you don't actually care if anybody buys it here's what's going
to happen based on what we know what we're taking amd's word for
so far with 3rd gen ryzen it should have excellent performance per
watt the sustained clock speeds that it can
hit should be pretty decent even with high
core counts and its ipc improvements over last gen
zen are looking pretty good yeah so with all of that in mind
intel's highest end and like
it's like full desperation move that w series 28 core xeon that the
overclockable one that you can put on there's like three motherboards that
exist for it or whatever um so
so intel's best possible response without bringing back
like skull trail dual socket overclockable systems is 28 cores
so what we know then is that if amd goes 32
core which is what they currently have and what they could easily and
comfortably do with a next-gen threadripper they will probably beat
that processor by a little so when you're looking at the like review the
the halo product versus the halo product amd might be on top
but like by a bit and it might depend on if it's
like an avx 512 enabled workload or whatever
if amd releases a 64 core processor they
know that for the first time
uh ever no no they beat until the dual class
they beat them to dual core so for the first time in over 10 years
they know that they will not just beat intel at the top of the benchmark
leaderboards they will absolutely
destroy them pardon my french
sorry we don't have the button yeah i need the button
like we're talking there will be benchmark graphs where
people are showing you know video encoding in ffmpeg or cinebench
where amd literally is outperforming until by a factor of two yeah
that's the only reason that i can think of for them to do it it sounds fun and
with how like successful they've been for the last little while maybe that
type of fun is becoming worth it where like the uh the the last round of
processors from amd i would not have necessarily said the same thing well now
that they're selling anything at a profit they actually have some that's what i'm playing with yeah yeah so that
helps yeah
it's cool though i don't know i've been very happy with all this amd stuff um
and with constant security vulnerability problems coming from intel
um it's it's a it's a good time over in
that camp so the rumor is that um it would be socket compatible
with existing tr4 motherboards after a bios update um
if there's speculation that it's probably a 14 nanometer part
um they're we're expecting it to be priced in the 2500 to 3 000 range um
and they're aiming for mid q4 2019 because
they have something planned for ces next year or at the very latest january 2020.
um actually i don't even know if these are zen 2 course which is interesting
because if they're not 7 nanometer they wouldn't be as far as i know
forgive me for not having all the details about this rumored product yeah
but uh we'll see we'll see how it goes either way the only way that i could see
this making any sense for amd is just as
a gigantic fu which is fun
which is fun yeah yeah
all right speaking of fun xbox scarlet announced you want to talk
about this one uh yeah sure this is awesome by the way and if you're in the
computer space you're like no consoles suck no it's awesome shut up because
every time new really awesome consoles come out everything steps up a little
bit because developers are going to be making for compatibility across the
platform and you want this this is good for you this is very good for you also
consoles are basically computers now yes extremely much so supports don't suck so
hard yeah um so that's it's great it's
actually it's fantastic anyways microsoft announced it at e3 2019
there's a bunch of stuff that got announced at e3 2019 um they're they're
they're apparently we'll have a physical disk drive which is actually important
to know because they've been talking about maybe not having that for a little while now can i interrupt for a second
this is a really important comment clash in cube india says linus got a great
body thank you go ahead
i did i did um auto completes for you and i on youtube
recently just out of pure pure curiosity yeah and one of your top
ones is topless really or shirtless or something but
effectively without a shirt on that's uncomfortable so there you go cool
nobody should want to see my weird chest hair tuft
it's a custom designed amd processor using zen 2 and navi architectures sexy
from a pure processing perspective it's four times more powerful and while i was
reading this i expected it to say the original xbox one but it's the xbox one
x which is that's actually like that's cool uh capable of running games at 120
hertz frame rates now i want to jump in for a second and say that that is a bs
way to talk about the power of a game console
that's true what game are we talking about what at what texture the
resolution and this detail level at what draw
distance and this is going to apply to the next note as well uh keynote says 8k
compatibility for a brief second like yeah is it a picture this stuff makes me
so mad so there were people posting again on
the personal rig update one that are like
pc gaming is a joke because even with the titan rtx it was still only running
at 70 to 85 frames per second
as if it's that simple it depends on how much you cranked up
the details do you remember uh the console comparison video we did yeah at
the last big launch that was technically like the last big console launch uh it's
just been forever you guys should do another one yeah we totally should
i was also thinking of doing a lot better doing a video called
console marketing is stupid
were we basically okay but pc marketing is really stupid too i know but console
marketing vr ready is sli ready that's really stupid and i
don't have to accept that so the reason that marketing a console
as 4k is that
everything has trade-offs i could run games at 4k on a
six-year-old computer what games
at what image quality settings pong exactly i could run i could i could
whatever this laptop i could run a game at 4k 120 frames per second if i don't
tell you what game it is and what it freaking looks like that is not
meaningful information it's like it's like having a
multi-variable algebra equation and
you've only got one number and everything else you've got variables x y
z a b c gamma freaking it's all over the place it would be cool
if they tried to maybe use a first party title
like for microsoft pretty easy one to call out halo if they were like halo and more will run
at 120. sure or something um anyway i'll let you finish i'ma let
you finish but i'ma let you finish uh apparently there's a quote saying we're
seeing over 40 times performance increase over the current generation
from the ssd and yeah yeah yeah to be
yeah i probably should have said that um because the ssd is being used as virtual
ram so it's gonna share a little bit uh and moving through worlds without
waiting for screens to load is going to maybe happen sometimes with
some games that's so funny too because it's like
they're like yeah what an innovation an ssd
yeah meanwhile we're like hey yeah you mean like when people were
upgrading for freaking like
wow burning crusade
and to be clear people have been manually upgrading consoles with ssds for a bit too
it's it's honestly like burning crusade days that was kind of when people
started upgrading and putting wow on an ssd so that they wouldn't load when they
went budget like come on
um halo infinite is confirmed as a launch title but also to be clear halo
infinite's coming to pc and xbox one x as well nice um
it's possible that a new elite controller a series two no that's
available for pre-order that's coming i'm excited i love my elite controller
except when it broke it's actually the only xbox controller i've ever had break
is my elite controller that's kind of sad how did it break d-pad
so i was playing cross-code and um use the d-pad to switch between the
different elements okay i'm starting soon you said something sorry uh you
said something about keyboard and mouse versus controller should i keyboard and mouse it
it's i think it okay i've never actually played it on keyboard and mouse
so the only experience i have with the keyboard mouse controls
i didn't even realize you could play it with keyboard and mouse because it's like
a top-down sprite-based rpg and i just grabbed a controller the first time i
played it because i was like duh this is that's how you do that yeah so
the only reason i even know you can control it with keyboard and mouse it's
because i was sitting on a plane and i kept like accidentally like aiming
and firing at stuff and i didn't realize i was touching my touch pad with the back of my hand
so i kind of played around with it a little bit and it seems like particularly for
quickly aiming keyboard and mouse would be
way better yeah that makes sense that's kind of a rule i really enjoyed
like the laid-back console experience of
using a controller with it and like you're good enough with the
controller that it probably shouldn't matter okay yeah
okay i could do it i beat the game no problem there were challenging parts but like i
could do it and it wasn't so did you ever play psychonauts no i uh i
played a demo so psychonauts towards the end is like
it's like kind of unfair like there's some really frustrating
parts that are like i'd say
amazing game design for a very skilled player
like you should be able to um
you should be able to beat it on the first try if you're really really good
unless it's dark souls or something like obviously there are games that are
designed to just kick your ass over and over and over again yeah
but i'd say most games if they're balanced correctly if you're really
really good and you are mastering every new skill as it comes at you you should
be able to be level on the first try like psychonauts like really really tough so i'd say cross code
is is everything is beatable on the first try if you've been paying really
close attention with a controller there's no i never
felt like it was totally unfair okay yeah all right fair
um current xbox one accessories will
work with scarlett which is cool and apparently launching holiday 2020 so
we're still quite a ways out but yeah yes jim this is bacon jerky
it's pretty legit actually yeah that's scarlet it's uh not coming
for a while but it's very exciting it's cool
we should maybe stay on the microsoft path
and jump down to the xbox game pass for pc
yeah so basically uh it's like a steam like
thingy but it's a subscription based it's ten
bucks a month or five bucks a month if you sign up during the beta or
one dollar if you sign up now but it's
10 bucks a month um over 100 pc games available at launch
and it's not game streaming so you still need to like download the game and play
it off your computer and stuff so here's some of the games um
here i'll just uh screen share with you guys
333 results honestly as with pretty much all of
these things so here let's filter by pc games sure
hooray 108 results that's more like it
yeah a lot of it is stuff i have never heard
of versa sea of thieves here's a war there's a
war a bunch of first-party stuff i think the most interesting things in here are
going to be the first party games other than that they're going to be mostly things that could have been very cheap
if you caught bought them on certain sales or things that you're probably not going
to be super interested in just because
unless you're like equally interested in literally every game genre because
there's a whole bunch of different game genres maybe this is a really good game is it
wrong if i'm a little offended on by someone trying to capitalize on mr
rogers he was so against that kind of stuff is that supposed to be hello
neighbor come on wearing like a plaid sweater vest oh it's a super creepy game
though it's it has nothing to do with i hear you
i see where you're going you can't say hello neighbor without it yeah being
fred rogers i got you but you're trying to like i've never played it but i think
you're trying to like break into that guy's house and he's trying to like catch you
and then yeah i think he's holding a shovel because he attacks yourself
highly recommended broforce is amazing luke and i played through it a little
while ago save this fire is great
very good i actually really enjoyed lucky's tale
really yeah did you not i don't think i played it very much oh
yeah it was like it's like the one thing that i ever played on the oculus yeah i
didn't i ran it on the 5. but i had
bought an oculus so i don't even care yeah so because i bought one for lmg
yeah so i i i ran that on an unauthorized
system with no it's interesting quality so we called
this so hard and we got so much crap for it mostly me i guess uh not not the crap
i mean the calling um but vr you guys
didn't even cover the new stuff did anyone complain i'm yes actually i
need to cover the quest people are mad but not the rift s
who cares about the rift s yeah there you go oof yeah no one cared
about the rift as people do care about the quest the quest seems to be doing
pretty well i'm really skeptical about it but i am trying to maintain an open
mind i will i was i was going to come here and say
i understand but i think you should cover it because i don't think linus
tech tips should lose the foothold of covering vr content
because i think it will be really big at some time at some point okay game time
cross codes in game pass hey hey already bought it so whatever that's cheap yeah
i love that game so much i wouldn't it's not like
i'm not gonna play it again it's hard not necessarily recommend it it's not oh
no i'll recommend it okay no problem it's not my favorite game or anything
but if i'm being really honest i think it's better than
a lot of the rpgs that i treasure having played as a kid oh like i think
it's objectively better we've got some nostalgic classes
yeah like i think if i'm being honest with myself what about breath of the
wild oh breath of the wild is the greatest game of all time do you hear about
breath of wild too i don't think i care oh
what was magic about breath of the wild was how
utterly different it was i had no temptation
whatsoever to download the dlc okay i was just like
i was like you know what that was a great contained experience yeah you know
when you finish happy with my music a really great book
yep and you close the last cover and you
kind of sit there and you go wow
they didn't produce season eight i'm awesome yeah yeah i'm kind of done but i men i
put so many hours into breath of the wild like i just
i uh i yeah i i i tried to tell myself no final
fantasy 6 is still my favorite game but
it's just not like breath of the wild final fantasy 6 i still i i adore the
characters um
but if i you know if i go back and i play it as an adult who knows my way
through the game there's actually not a lot that happens
whereas and you know what i think the same is probably true for cross code
cross code can get a little grindy at times not that much actually happens but
what's great about it is i absolutely adore
the characters i still there's a strong connection
there i went back and played some of more wind recently yeah more wins the
game that i've always said is my favorite game um and i think
i think it still is but but i don't think i would have the
time or the patience now to play it the way you did yes and to get out of it
what you did yes that makes sense i don't think i could extract the
experience i had with morrowind anymore which makes me really sad
but like you're done growed up yeah to a certain degree because like the thing
with morrowind was i the game starts they give you this like
package thing and you're supposed to go give it to someone and it was worth
something so i just sold it all the time
and that was what started the main quest so i actually really thoroughly enjoyed
the game for like months before i realized the game had a main
quest yep and i was like oh god and then this unlocked this whole
other part of the game and it was it was very interesting to wander and explore
and i don't have the now i'm like i have time to play game i
must extract enjoyment out of game as much as possible not just i'm gonna go
enjoy myself and that's what was so magical about breath of the wild to me
so most of the games that i've loved a lot have been because i love the
characters like even some of the less popular final fantasies um
i actually know most of them the characters are kind of cliche i've
really loved six um uh so it's because i love the characters
um and that was something that was a little bit different for breath of the wild because i loved
the exploration not the uh
like the link character is
utterly uninteresting to me okay
there's not much to him no no the zelda character
is she might as well be princess peach
they are completely interchangeable to me they're like
um a damsel in distress but over the
years because uh you know empowerment they have become
strong independent women and that's great
but that doesn't that's still completely two-dimensional
and you know what i'm sure that there's like supplementary manga or something
like sure yeah some type of additional some people
only play the games and you gotta get you gotta if you read
the lore you gotta give me something to work with here like link is literally a
silent protagonist um and and that's that's a storytelling
mechanism but but what was magical about breath of the wild was definitely the
exploration what i usually love about games is the characters so it's just
it's hard for me to admit that my favorite game is not one that's about
the characters especially because i would never go and explore a world that
i've already explored but i might go
have a story retold to me about characters that i
love so for me breath of the wild has no replay value
whereas i have played final fantasy 6 through to the end
at least half a dozen times i'm like and almost through probably 20 times to
reaffirm all of these points it's on the same map
oof yeah
yeah there's no it's like effectively and you said i wouldn't buy a dlc they
were they in in one of their interviews they basically said
it would have made sense to be a dlc if dlcs were conventionally seen as like
multitudes bigger than what they are so it's an expansion pack it's basically so
we're back to that yeah it will okay they're saying it's like
the majority's mask i never played majora's mask me neither
actually so i don't know how accurate this is but the majority is maxed to
ocarina of time except it's on the same map it's an expansion panel
yeah it's like a really big expansion pack yeah but the expansion packs are
really big yeah what are you doing
oh no i was going further back than that i was actually going to use warcraft 2.
i'm trying to remember don't don't tell me don't tell me it's warcraft 2 tides of darkness beyond the dark portal yeah
uh it's it's beyond the dark portal the beyond the dark portal campaign is just
as long as the tides of darkness came but i remember correctly frozen throne
campaign is just as long it's just as long you're right it is and and it like
completely overhauls and changes the game but it's the same sort of supreme
commander's expansion pack had a campaign that was just as long and added a race
like it's an expansion pack yeah we just don't call them that
anymore i guess is someone dying oh it's possible
all right time for all right actually was there anything else you really wanted to hit today because otherwise i
was going to do some super chats uh we've uh we should maybe talk about uh
ltx because there's a thing oh right there's like a ton of ltx news yeah um
okay vrc car is going to include four cars but isn't a race anymore it's now a
first person view experience so we're designing the tracks and it'll include
some fun little easter eggs for you guys to find um
that's probably a good idea we'll be playing robo recall vacation simulator
and winlands2 at the vr experience booth that will include eight htc vibes a big
step up from last year's three vives and because we couldn't find a sponsor for
it i have to buy them oof yeah
one of them is going to be my personal vibe because i don't say like i think you guys have
still i don't think so i don't know where it is oh i don't think we have it sure i don't
know i'm not accusing i don't know okay either way if it's there it'll be there
we have new guests their bowers gonna be there oh sweet
roman's coming uh steve from memory express and the hardware canucks team so
eber and dimitri are going to be there nice yeah so we have we are spending so
much money a lot and even more apparently um
byoc seed selection is open if you have a byoc ticket head to dreamhack forward
slash tickets forward slash ltx19 to do
that colton is slowly processing ltx volunteers one by one if you signed up
and followed the instructions please stand by and you can see below our main
stage planned events oh wow okay
panel amd versus intel panel pc do's and don'ts industry insights with msi that's
gonna be great we're gonna have cliff out oh interesting yep so and i already
sent him a lot of my questions like i'm gonna be like yeah tell me who's hard to
work with should be good he's pretty sure he's going to get fired
uh we're going to be playing like a family feud sort of funny thing uh and
then we've got a panel running a youtube business the early years that should be an interesting one now i'm not the only
one on all these panels we're actually going to be leaning on some of our creators um to come up and help us with
these um twitter slash float playing q a with
lmg part one and two is at uh 11 30 on
the second day uh world of warships tournament with linus never played the game so that'll
be interesting apparently i get it i get like a stacked
like special ship that's like uh ltt colored and stuff what so
like people so i because i don't know how to play the game i
have kind of an advantage so i don't know it might be interesting
uh pc versus mac panel uh budget versus performance panel award ceremony and a
farewell uh msi is apparently sending us 20 little lucky dragons to sell and
build on the floor plan oh my goodness we're showing the floor plan
look at all the updates today hold up those boc seats oh yeah we expanded it
um heck yeah okay so
here's what we're looking oh my goodness this is a little small i can't read all
this stuff it's gigantic though so this is 590 byoc seats this is pc free play
where the systems are already there uh vip slash staff slash krubiosc so that's
where you'll be luke okay um here's a stream zone so this is all kind of like
dream hacky things then we've got the stage then over here you've got ltx and
i'm having a hard time reading so the vip staff crew bric that's float plane
is going to be in there as well uh yeah yeah yeah okay yeah
um and then over here is the indie zone i believe this is the case toss
um i can't read any of this stuff but
maybe it's i don't know it's super awesome oh
yes so this is a problem um free geek
is uh actually kind of in trouble
um so we just wanted to take a moment to shout them out big time for being such
an amazing supporter of ltx without them we wouldn't have been able
to get the hundreds of dead motherboards to use as the motherboard house of cards
booth they provided 20 plus cases to throw at the infamous case toss they
sourced 20 computers for us to use in the pc build workshop like dead
components that people can learn to assemble sent us a number of unique
motherboards for the guess that motherboard booth a lot of this would have been difficult
if not impossible to do without them so free geek is a vancouver-based
non-profit community organization that reuses and recycles donated electronics
they offer education job skills training and provide free or low-cost computers
to the public they've been an integral part of the event and they're in a bit
of a tough spot right now
because recycling rates are falling and
um you know what not too much details but we'd really appreciate your guys's
help to help them keep their doors open it what they do is kind of important so
it's freegeekvancouver.org where you can go to learn how you can
contribute because uh you know everything from
scrapyard wars to retro mods to our sleeper pc series like
they have hooked us up in ways that are
like not money but just
pc community relationship ways
this is the kind of stuff you want in the pc community because if you think
back to your current or maybe younger self depending on where you're at yeah
there's a point in time where if you're really into pcs these types of outlets
is what you need to lean on maybe the only way that you could afford one yeah
to be completely honest so so inspiring new young or or
uh less financially fortunate minds in our space is how is is how it grows yeah
all right so guys go check it out that's freegeekvancouver.org
and uh we should go ahead and call up some super chats amari says finally
youtube premium got sick of ads good stuff and thank you for the two dollars
um jamaican you too presumably logan
frozen sniper you guys too sup spencer
uh connor says what were you doing with gavin
uh a couple of really cool things so gathering this i think
knows what you're doing no they don't that video is not up yet oh
so uh we did a couple of things we determined once and for all whether
240 hertz monitors have an advantage over 60 hertz
for gamers oh yeah and in a bunch of really interesting
ways so does it affect reaction time
does it affect your kill rate does it affect the way that you aim
so we used slow motion 1000 frame per second footage
to watch how a gamer reacts at 60hz versus
did you watch ed we did okay good wow he's a lot better
at 240 hertz but i won't spoil anything else about it because the findings with
me and gavin were also interesting but in completely different ways yeah i was
i was i was hoping you were doing a spectrum but if you weren't doing a spectrum i was hoping it was ed we were
yeah so we had ed at the top at the top end we had gavin as more of like a
casual and then we had me as sort of like i used to be okay i guess
you're good at games my aim is fantastic actually my spread was pretty close to
ed's wow but um what game my
my kill time was much higher
uh we used cs go with an auto snipe okay
uh and then we had uh we had a target basically at an at an undetermined
time uh well the reason for the auto snipe was we wanted to give the um if
you got a head shot you took him down in one we told everyone to go for head
shots but if you hit a body shot we wanted it to be possible to take down
the target in the time that you had while they ran across the hallway okay
um so you basically had to you had a pixel that you had to point at
and then you didn't know when it was going to come and you had to take them
out as fast as you could as you ran across so interesting very interesting really
really cool test and then uh what we did with the knowledge that we gained from
working with gavin was we produced a second video the next day determining
once and for all whether wireless mice
are slower so we devised a mechanism
to hit a mouse complete a circuit
light up a light to show us the exact moment that they make contact and then
we were able to use one millisecond frames at a thousand
frames per second to see how long it takes the um the crosshair
on the monitor behind it to start to move so we were we weren't
able to actually determine down to one millisecond which mouse was faster
because we don't have the equipment to measure that we can't intercept the signal from the mouse but we were able
to tell if any monitor on the market could
possibly give you the feedback fast enough that
you could detect a difference yeah and it's going to be a really really
interesting video um so that's what i was doing with gavin
commissioner says if the 64 core threadripper was cheap not sure where
you're going with that because it sure as heck won't be uh sup jason will briggs westerlai
uh derek youtube premium gives free super chats i
think that's what like most of this is zach says put it towards some tooling
for the mill uh oh man that workshop is gonna be freaking awesome see bart
hashtag save channel super fun 20 bucks
if only it were that only almost 20 bucks you know what's really funny is it
is not impossible that channel super fun could end up resurrected as part of this
diversification push we'll see
it's not dead it's just you want to support you want to know a
fun a fun little fact here remember the pigeon
the pigeon was it i think it's called a pigeon
um apple pigeon
console pippin oh the pippin yeah yeah the app
mark it's that it's probably paid for itself by now
has it it's like three million views or something really yeah how much did we
pay for that stupid thing again i think it was 500 bucks oh
can literally buy like a brand new xbox one x for what we paid for the worst
console and like a game and some controllers yeah
yeah three million views hell yeah what's up nick you guys talking about
merce oh oh he wants us to talk about the merch
so this this is our hot item right now this hoodie is finally for sale yeah did
you get one yet okay oh really
ouch nick is my savior because my luggage was lost
you lost it no i did not no an airline did
an airline did a hundred percent okay and my sweater was in there but nick
nick swooped in and got me another one all right so this is the one
he did but either way this is the one that's
like the hot seller on the store right now it's nttstore.com
it's got like a little oh it's got a little logo here it's got
the phone pocket on this side that holds even really big phones this is an early
prototype so actually the um we had enlarged the phone pocket
after this one because it didn't really fit very well it was like hard to get it in and out
also this one see how yours goes a little bit lower
we made it about an inch longer because this is an early one because it was
always riding up on me like that i also have a rather tall torso and it fits on
me perfectly fine i know some people ask about how different fitting things
work so yeah we change the zipper to ykk instead of whatever this is that's
that's good yeah so we made some quality and some
wearability improvements that's why these projects take so
long because you're sending feedback
you're waiting for new samples you're sending more feedback you're waiting for
new samples if it was just as simple as like getting a shirt printed this merch
stuff would have paid for itself ages ago as it is were
okay so we're making money on every item we sell but we're deep in the red in
terms of the total investment that we put in but honestly i'm so much happier
like wearing our stuff okay as an outside party the the stuff i was
most upset about losing in that like okay one random little tidbit i lost
literally every single pair of bottoms that i own except for these shorts that
i'm wearing in that luggage so wow i don't have very many bars it's gonna
take you a long time to get free bottoms to replace those bottoms because i know
you won't pay that's why i only had that many i know it's because trust me those
are the same jeans i've had for like seven years i believe you
but okay as an outside source the shirts are insanely comfortable the
constellation one is actually my like favorite shirt which is also gone out of
stock right now we're working on getting more uh the problem is we can't get that
color of shirt and so we're working on an overseas source um but unless it
meets the standard of the ones that we are using now we are just we'd rather be
completely out of stock and not sell anything than compromise anymore i'm
just tired of it and it's insane i'm just going to step in again still
outside source your shirts are 20 bucks yeah basically no influencer shirts are
20 bucks right now twenty dollars a shirt is the like
five to ten years ago pricing for most of this kind of stuff which is pretty
awesome the shirts feel great the printing's great the sweaters are thin
which is usually bad but it's not no because it's like it's like a a french
terry yeah like it's not like a cheap thin it's i haven't had a sweater like
this before so every thin sweater that i've had sucked this one's fantastic i
slept with it over my face when i didn't have a another option while i was in
taiwan it was great and then it's gone but i was really sad and i got a new one
we're trying to we're trying to keep the pricing reasonable that's like yeah 60
bucks for a sweater again it's sweaters are kind of expensive but
it takes us a long time to make this stuff so yeah
yeah it is what it is go buy some pants well i have to now okay
so i will start uh lloyd really wants to do
joggers so joggers would be dope i i don't
really like them though so my my new thing my new thing with the merch
actually i i listened to a talk from kris jenner of all people
um you know what you can say what you want about the content but you have to
respect the business savvy uh and she was like
look focus
focus on what you actually are passionate about
and it's a lot harder to screw up and so i'm going you know so i i so i
got back to the office and i canceled the joggers project because i don't care
about them okay and i was like nope we're gonna do stuff that like i care
about a lot so the underwear that's coming yeah
it's really nice okay good because i lost also a very high percentage of my
underwear the underwear the underwear fairly soon literally my entire wardrobe
was just gonna be ltd stuff the underwear which i'm okay with it's like
really nice yeah that's awesome anyway uh conor says can you recommend a
battery pack that can power a usb c powered laptop i don't know anything
from like like anchor stuff he's pretty good anchor just go anchor i guess

software freedom and the new project at new.org
oh thank you sweet we had never heard of that
let me get right on that for our adobe premiere editing workflow
well i'm not i'm not trying to be a hater we use
linux where it makes sense like our storage servers for example
all of luke float playing crap runs on linux yeah but
we're not ready to advocate switching to linux for like a media production
environment it's not it's not a thing yet and before you
send another super chat which i appreciate by the way about davinci resolve yes we're aware of it but it
doesn't do everything um
michael freddie from lazar
lachlan danny um arash thank you very much uh midland
says good evening guys wondering if there's a way to clone an internal ssd
to an internal software raid1 ssd array that is a tremendous question and i have
actually tried to figure out how to do it i don't
know why with the intel raid when you create it you can't just say
hey all of that that one drive that one's good
all of that to the other one too you have to clear them when you create
it and it seems like the kind of thing that i do know that there are um
like there are values that you that you write when you create a raid that kind
of tie the two together it just seems like the kind of thing that someone over
the last couple of decades might have engineered a solution to by now
as far as i'm aware um
i i don't know of a way to do it i'm sorry
rehan uh says the search on floatplane is there but doesn't seem to be
effective yeah i know they're working on it yep
uh there's actually like a fix for it but it's just not up yet uh lorenz sorry
don't think about quitting i really miss you lately on the channel don't worry i'm i'm not going anywhere
uh qwerty to be honest i love all the other staff but if you're done i am too
i like having the variety but i'm here for you well i i appreciate that but
also i appreciate the support for the rest of the staff because
they're awesome um niche requests podcasts interesting ben
burrell says watercool the new mac pro we're going to create our own this is a podcast yeah this is a podcast by the
way we already have a podcast uh jacksonville said story driven podcasts
like reply all uh watching your rig upgrade thunderbolt config is it still
in the closet okay so i had to rip the gigabyte board back out that night and
put my old board back in because i don't have a thunderbolt 3d
thunderbolt 2 adapter so really sad story especially because
brandon and i stayed late to finish that video oh no so i ended up reusing that
motherboard in a you know what i won't spoil it but
there's more videos coming up that narrative is far from done
uh now bill says hey linus you're paying too much attention to the feedback great
to have the feedback but do what you like man we enjoy seeing you stop do the
stuff you enjoy so that's good that's important but also i do need to take
feedback because it does matter too it's just like filtering it that's the key
uh dave just because i want to one up a rash sends 24.99 oh thanks dave
luke needs a chair that says that float plane he does oh
yeah that'd be cool what a terrific point um
okay and in like blue jesus franco says uh
youtube gave me this so here you go game breaker says yo linus what did i
miss i only joined like a minute ago
are you for real bro we're just going to recap the whole the
whole lan show

you got to respect that at least at least you took a shot you got to try things yeah but yeah you know that yeah
shoot for the moon right because you miss if you miss then it might come down
on an old lady somewhere
um thanks yanai uh jake says would love
a vlog channel nope i'm out i'm done i'm
telling you man i'm telling you man
i actually have a pretty good vlog channel idea i don't have time to do it
right now though but it's like it's pretty different it's pretty different
um oh wow i don't know if i can get through
all these whenever we do super chats like earlier
in the show and people like oh wow they're actually going to remember super chats today we get a bunch of them and
then we can't finish them i would strongly recommend if you guys
want to like do super chats do them earlier in the show because then we'll
get to those ones first if we don't
uh ice x-ro says what do you think about this setup
an epic 7401 p with 64 gigs of ddr4 ecc
five gtx 1080s and a four by 480 gig ssd on an
mz31ar0 motherboard sounds like uh like a machine learning
setup or something i gotta be careful weird config what you're inviting is

say is that even 3xl um a lot of the

shirt oh really yeah all right bye for
