1
00:00:02,399 --> 00:00:10,559
excited we have great topics this week uh HDMI 2.1 is here

2
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:14,000
that's actually really cool every single time a display cable gets updated i'm

3
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:18,800
just excited it's a good thing because like it's gonna be like more resolutions

4
00:00:15,759 --> 00:00:20,480
yeah and faster colors and faster yeah

5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:25,600
fret refresh rates it's good everything just gets better also

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:29,279
china's using dji drones to spy on the

7
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:30,480
us rumor allegedly allegedly well um

and i would know oh oh oh my oh my ah

25
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:50,159
speaking of frenching really well though HDMI 2.1

26
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:53,360
yeah sure uh so this was posted by silver

27
00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:56,720
silver oh do you mind if i have the uh uh right i was tested this was posted by

28
00:01:55,119 --> 00:02:01,479
silverdrocci on the forum and the original article

29
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:04,799
here is from engadget.com let's go ahead and pull

30
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:11,360
that baby up boom HDMI 2.1 is here with support for

31
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:17,520
10k and dynamic HDR support and it is

32
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:24,560
backwards compatible with previous HDMI specifications that 10k by the way

33
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:26,720
pretty weird 10k so so 10k it looks like

34
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:33,680
is gonna be more like wide 8k yeah except that that still

35
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:36,400
makes it 10k yes because

36
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:38,800
the way that we define resolutions because average

37
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:46,480
you know joe cons okay nothing against people named joe okay let's just average jeff

38
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:49,360
consumer yeah can't handle two numbers

39
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:53,680
okay so that's why resolutions are just something k now has to be a maximum of

40
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:57,440
three characters or else you've lost them that's right four that's probably

41
00:02:56,239 --> 00:03:02,280
pushing it that's why swear words usually cap at four you can't go beyond

42
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,280
there

43
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,120
okay

44
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:14,879
it's kind of a thing how interesting

45
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:19,120
um so okay here hold on back to this back to this chart that we're looking at over on

46
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:24,080
engadget here so this is this is interesting because back in the day we had full hd

47
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:28,319
and that was everyone we didn't really know that as full hd outside of like you

48
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:33,680
know like the yeah i mean 1920 by 1080 i think we

49
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:36,959
called it 1080p back then and then full hd

50
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:41,920
was no no we didn't know it is full hd but that was kind of like used

51
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:45,760
some people even said 1080p full hd yeah because we we called it full hd because

52
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:51,599
of all the bs marketing that went on around 170 which was called hd hd okay

53
00:03:49,519 --> 00:03:57,760
this is like no this is like a real hd the full hd it's complete and then 4k

54
00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:00,239
was like okay it's i get the four so

55
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:04,319
it's like four times this and it's also about 4 000 pixels wide

56
00:04:02,959 --> 00:04:09,680
but then okay so this 5k this is interesting

57
00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:13,439
we've got about 5000 pixels wide which makes sense that's consistent with the

58
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:18,720
4k naming oh something a lot of people don't know is that there was actually a

59
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:21,120
2k standard yeah so it's uh 20

60
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:25,360
48 by 1080 if i recall correctly but that was only a dci cinema standard that

61
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:30,320
wasn't actually a consumer standard and then everything got really confused with

62
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:38,560
4k because this resolution 3840 by 2160 is technically uhd ultra hd it is not 4k

63
00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:40,720
4k should be 4096 by 2160 because it

64
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:44,720
would be 4 times 2k but then we weren't sure if we were

65
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:49,280
using consumer nomenclature or if we were using a professional nomenclature

66
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:54,479
and then the 5k thing i don't know i don't know what the hell that is because

67
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:56,880
that's like widescreen 4k that's not 5k

68
00:04:54,479 --> 00:05:04,240
because 5k the only 5k devices that exist are the apple display

69
00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:05,680
on the imac and lg's 5k display that's

70
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:12,160
also for max and then 8k is 4 times 4k

71
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:16,160
but actually this is four times uhd which is four times full hd so the

72
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:21,280
decays never meant anything in the first place and also

73
00:05:18,039 --> 00:05:24,240
7680 is like dangerously not that close

74
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:30,479
to 8 000 at this point and then 10k is now apparently four times 5k

75
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:33,600
at a different aspect ratio than 8k 4k full hd

76
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:39,600
you know what no that was probably horrible sorry

77
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:42,240
sorry i'm sorry sorry but i i have to

78
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:46,160
express my frustration two numbers

79
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:50,800
is not that hard we've been doing it since you know 640

80
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:54,639
by 480. it was good enough for me it's good

81
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:58,960
enough for the next generation i hate this i hate everything about it except

82
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:02,400
that with new HDMI we can run higher resolution and i actually am excited to

83
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:07,440
see ultrawide tvs the fact that these standards are making it into the HDMI

84
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:12,160
specification means you're gonna see tvs like this anytime

85
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:16,160
you don't see a clip there's one that's really high on reddit right now anytime

86
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:20,000
you see a clip of horizon zero dawn that's an ultra wide it's like

87
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:29,840
that's probably how that game's supposed to be played tvs apparently 480p was first gen hd

88
00:06:25,759 --> 00:06:32,319
what was that yeah uh hdcrts oh they

89
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:37,360
could be i think they could be like 480 progressive or something or something

90
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:40,479
something i can't remember the hd term has been

91
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:44,400
it's been bastardized yeah there's a swear word that's not four letters yes

92
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:48,400
someone in the twitch chat informed me of that yeah i said usually i mean we

93
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:51,520
could have thought of a couple i'm sure i think i said usually because there are

94
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:55,199
some compound swear words that are definitely more than four letters

95
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:59,360
um so anyway there's a bunch of other cool stuff 48

96
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:04,639
gigabit per second that's pretty sick 4k at 120 hertz that's actually a lot more

97
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:07,120
important to me than 10k yes uh 8k at 60

98
00:07:04,639 --> 00:07:10,639
hertz that's pretty sweet i guess personally i'm really not that sold on

99
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:15,919
above 4k at this point for yeah but that 4k at

100
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:18,319
120 is like that's pretty sweet i mean

101
00:07:15,919 --> 00:07:23,840
8k 60 hertz would be great for like a gigantic projector i guess

102
00:07:20,639 --> 00:07:28,160
um dynamic HDR variable refresh rate oh

103
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:31,120
yes thank you finally oh man when

104
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:36,319
i'm surprised that sony and microsoft haven't been pushing harder for variable

105
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:38,560
refresh rate because it would mask so

106
00:07:36,319 --> 00:07:43,440
many of the FPS dips in a good way in a good way yeah like

107
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:48,319
actually like mask puts a potentially negative term i guess that's true yeah

108
00:07:45,919 --> 00:07:52,800
but it is masking but like it would it would it would look

109
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:58,000
a lot better uh auto low latency mode so that's cool uh contextual anti-aliasing

110
00:07:55,759 --> 00:08:01,360
removing jaggies without noticeable blur that sounds like if they get it right

111
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:06,879
it'll be great and if they don't then it won't um and sub one millisecond leg although

112
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:11,759
that'll be up to the tv makers in terms of how they want to implement that and

113
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:17,199
how little lag there actually is because they are constantly dinking around with

114
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:19,440
the signal trying to

115
00:08:17,199 --> 00:08:24,240
do whatever it is that they're trying to certainly wish they wouldn't do

116
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:28,240
um yeah every time that i even think about maybe looking into a tv which i

117
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:32,479
don't i haven't i've never technically bought a tv um so

118
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:36,959
i mean like if someone asks me or whatever else um

119
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:41,039
i end up just being like i wish i could just buy a ginormous monitor

120
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:45,920
because i don't even exist now yeah like can you get like

121
00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:49,200
60-inch 65-inch monitors no i think the biggest is that's what i'm talking about

122
00:08:47,279 --> 00:08:54,080
g has a 42 because like not only do i not want this

123
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:59,200
stuff that's on the tv right so i don't want extra smart tv but like the tuner

124
00:08:56,959 --> 00:09:03,200
it makes it worse it's not like oh that's not a benefit it's like no i

125
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:06,720
really really wish that wasn't there i would pay the same price just please

126
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:10,480
take it off it's so annoying

127
00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:15,120
i've got people asking me what's up with the ijustine thing um so

128
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:19,839
i went down there hooked her up with a sick 150 terabyte

129
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:23,200
storage server in pink and white yeah absolutely did

130
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:27,839
you see the picture yeah it's sweet it looks really clean it's

131
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:34,320
super cool and then while i was down there i actually impromptu shot a studio

132
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:37,760
tour of her place because i actually didn't take a camera this is kind of a

133
00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:40,560
funny story so uh the original plan was for me to take a camera person down and

134
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:46,720
i was gonna stay down for like two or three days and i was gonna hang out with uh jay's tu san si and do um

135
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:52,399
because he's actually working i don't wanna say what he's working on because his might still be top secret but it's a

136
00:09:49,519 --> 00:09:55,920
really cool build um it's like sort of a collab except i don't need to be there

137
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:59,279
so i don't need to be there for that anymore so we shortened my trip and then

138
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:04,959
the other reason that i was going to take a shooter was that i was probably going to do some kind of video for our

139
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:07,680
channel with justine um and then i was like you know what forget it i just need

140
00:10:06,399 --> 00:10:11,200
to do a short trip because i've been traveling so much lately and you know

141
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:15,360
what i don't know if we're gonna have time in one day to do the video for her

142
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:18,079
channel and one for mine don't worry about it she already came up

143
00:10:16,959 --> 00:10:21,680
and she did a a guest appearance for us

144
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:26,880
another thing that's never coming out one thing that it'll come out even i'm kidding i'm kidding um

145
00:10:24,959 --> 00:10:31,360
forget it i'm not gonna shoot a video and then what's funny is Yvonne booked a

146
00:10:29,279 --> 00:10:35,519
room with two beds just in case i like changed my mind at

147
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:38,560
the last second and took a shooter but i didn't

148
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:44,399
but then i got to justine's place and i was like this place is amazing this

149
00:10:41,279 --> 00:10:46,560
place is unbelievable

150
00:10:44,399 --> 00:10:50,480
and so what i did was i actually borrowed her shooter

151
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:55,519
and then just got the clips off the sd card back here and it's actually being edited

152
00:10:52,880 --> 00:11:00,079
right now nice you are gonna be blown away and this is coming from the

153
00:10:57,519 --> 00:11:04,560
same person who just did a dead mouse studio tour her place

154
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:09,279
is unbelievable it's incredible really cool cool yeah i'm stoked

155
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:09,279
one spoiler

156
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:16,480
yes she probably has literally

157
00:11:13,839 --> 00:11:20,959
50 xbox one controllers literally what

158
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:26,000
literally okay one more spoiler yeah

159
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:30,480
literally every amiibo literally

160
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:35,279
like properly using that term every single one literally

161
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:41,120

169
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:13,920
to it in the video okay um what were we talking about we

171
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:22,639
between things and we're maybe doing dji should we do floatplay oh

172
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:25,760
let's do dji first yeah dji

173
00:12:22,639 --> 00:12:26,959
wow so this was posted by wm groom ak on

174
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:32,639
the forum and actually we're going with our forum

175
00:12:30,079 --> 00:12:36,880
for the source of this article here because apparently this was a really

176
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:40,240
epic post oh no no end gadget is the original source here let's pull that up

177
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:45,920
uh if it ever goes it'll go

178
00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:49,600
it'll go it'll go

179
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:54,480
i'm gonna post it in the twitch chat come on baby you got this

180
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,480
there we go all right

181
00:12:54,720 --> 00:13:01,839
homeland security claims

182
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:03,360
that dji drones are spying

183
00:13:01,839 --> 00:13:10,320
for china and it released a memo detailing what it

184
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:12,639
believes to be dji's main targets

185
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:18,000
wow that is like some pretty serious

186
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:21,600
business accusation going on so this is a memo from the los angeles office of

187
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:26,399
the immigration and customs enforcement bureau alleging that the data captured from dji

188
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:32,639
drone customers in the u.s is being provided to the chinese government

189
00:13:29,680 --> 00:13:37,519
and the memo originally in august says that and there's a quote with moderate

190
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:41,040
confidence the chinese-based company dji science and technology is providing u.s

191
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:44,560
critical infrastructure and law enforcement data to the chinese

192
00:13:42,399 --> 00:13:48,720
government the information is based on open source reporting and a reliable

193
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:52,399
source within the unmanned aerial systems industry with first and second

194
00:13:50,959 --> 00:13:57,279
hand access so they conclude and this is more quotes

195
00:13:54,560 --> 00:14:00,880
that it assesses with high confidence the critical infrastructure and law

196
00:13:58,639 --> 00:14:04,800
enforcement entities using dji systems are collecting sensitive intelligence

197
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:08,399
that the chinese government could use to conduct physical or cyber attacks

198
00:14:06,959 --> 00:14:13,600
against the united states and its population yeah so dji appears to be

199
00:14:12,079 --> 00:14:18,959
targeting users with the ability to disrupt critical infrastructure railroads utilities companies that

200
00:14:16,959 --> 00:14:21,519
provide drinking water weapon storage facilities

201
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:29,120
dji's statement though to be clear this is all alleged

202
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:33,519
dji statement says that the memo was based on clearly false and misleading

203
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:37,680
claims um

204
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:41,760
shortly after however dji released a local data mode which allows users to

205
00:14:40,079 --> 00:14:48,160
cut off drones from all internet activity which they probably should what does my

206
00:14:45,839 --> 00:14:52,000
drone need to do on the internet no clue especially in terms of reporting like

207
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:56,480
camera and telemetry data yeah especially when i'm recording or like

208
00:14:54,639 --> 00:15:01,360
other than when i'm performing a firmware update yeah

209
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:05,519
um or i could that should only be down i could see it reporting something like if

210
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:08,959
i'm flying in a no-fly zone like that kind of stuff's coming but again that

211
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:13,120
shouldn't be going to a foreign government that's for sure that should

212
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:17,279
be going to one that has jurisdiction over the area that i am flying it should

213
00:15:14,959 --> 00:15:19,680
be like when you have to would you have to register your drone or something now

214
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:27,199
right so that should be like when you register your drone they like get a key or

215
00:15:23,839 --> 00:15:28,880
something yup um

216
00:15:27,199 --> 00:15:33,680
wow pretty brutal so now the ice memo did

217
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:37,920
focus on the drones used by companies and institutions not the drones flown by

218
00:15:36,079 --> 00:15:41,839
hobbyists so i don't know if you necessarily have to stop you know

219
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:45,120
hovering your drone in the bedroom to film yourself making a sex tape or

220
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:50,480
whatever um i wouldn't recommend that either either

221
00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:51,680
way yeah blades yeah you know blades and

222
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:56,639
penises um not a good combination unless you don't

223
00:15:54,399 --> 00:15:59,920
want to have kids anymore like me but there's better ways to do that yeah yeah

224
00:15:58,959 --> 00:16:04,639
oh speaking of which i know you wanted to

225
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:10,079

236
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:59,279
too yeah there's no way it won't be uh taran hosted a video recently on the

237
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:01,920
elgato stream deck i have so many problems with that thing

238
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:06,640
i've watched this video yet but we'll see um let's see what else we got here we got

239
00:17:05,199 --> 00:17:11,120
some exclusive stuff we toured the server room that was pretty cool well

240
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:15,600
where's the Channel Super Fun one uh oh it's coming it's coming uh oh that's

241
00:17:12,959 --> 00:17:20,600
already up on youtube oh there it is uh triton 700 super powerful super thin

242
00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:27,280
gaming laptop very cool and there it is cruel pregnancy prank

243
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:30,960
gone wrong it's amazing how many people are giving us crap about that gone wrong

244
00:17:29,679 --> 00:17:36,160
in the title i would hope

245
00:17:33,039 --> 00:17:38,799
it's fairly obvious that that like

246
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:42,960
naming scheme is is played out at this point and that

247
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:47,600
anyone doing it now and people are still really doing it almost 2018 exactly

248
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:51,600
anyone doing it now is clearly just being ironic it's tongue-in-cheek it's

249
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:55,280
just it's silly we all know it's dumb gone sexual gone

250
00:17:53,919 --> 00:18:01,039
wrong i don't think we've done a prank in a while yeah so it's kind of a show back to like

251
00:17:58,559 --> 00:18:04,799
when youtube used to be pranked to prank to basically yeah like i just i

252
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:10,799
there were a couple people who seemed legit upset about it no no it's just it's it's a joke it's just a it's just a

253
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:15,520
joke bro it's just a joke it's just a joke bro it's just a joke um that was

254
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:20,799
the worst in all seriousness this wasn't a very funny joke

255
00:18:17,120 --> 00:18:22,880
it was hilarious as an external person

256
00:18:20,799 --> 00:18:27,760
so there are nothing to do it is a it is a two-prank video yeah so should i

257
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:32,080
should i you know i'll say what the first one is because that one's right at

258
00:18:29,919 --> 00:18:37,760
the beginning okay okay so the first prank is when

259
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:42,799
Yvonne got pregnant with our third um she and i got together and we were

260
00:18:40,559 --> 00:18:47,200
talking about how guys are not that observant like women can

261
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:50,320
tell that each other are pregnant like basically immediately i don't know how

262
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,960
they do it it's like they can smell it on each other or something you called me

263
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,400
on the phone yeah oh okay well i'll keep doing this

264
00:18:55,039 --> 00:19:03,919
uh so women can tell right away and i was like no there's no way guys would notice like that's why we never ask like

265
00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:06,720
we never bring it up because we can't tell the difference between

266
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:11,200
like eight months pregnant and fat and you

267
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:14,960
don't want to run that risk because you're like there's no way to win right

268
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:20,720
and she was like no they'll be able to tell i was like they will not be able to tell and they certainly won't say

269
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:23,760
anything and so she and i kind of made a little bet i was like they won't be able

270
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:28,400
to tell even if and and they'll think that it's

271
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:31,280
me being mean if i'm like constantly going after you about how you're getting

272
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:36,799
fat there's they won't be able to tell they'll just be like Linus is an ass

273
00:19:35,360 --> 00:19:42,080
they will not figure out that you're actually pregnant and you have to

274
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:44,799
consider that while he's being an ass to

275
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:51,200
his wife who's also an employee of the company that we all work at he's also

276
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:54,080
everyone's boss yup yup it's a really

277
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:58,400
weird dynamic and this is great i would ask people like do you think do

278
00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:03,120
you think Yvonne's getting fat meanwhile she has actually gained 15 pounds

279
00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:06,360
because she is pregnant they'd be like oh no

280
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:15,440
anyway there's actually a part two to the prank that is

281
00:20:12,799 --> 00:20:19,760
not funny at all but um no it's actually hilarious it's a good

282
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:23,360
video go go sign up for Floatplane having having the second part's not

283
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:27,200
funny though having nothing to do with it it is

284
00:20:25,120 --> 00:20:31,039
hilarious but like there are certain points in

285
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:34,559
time where i was like oh this is oh so this is getting bad there you go

286
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:38,480
there you go guys go sign up for flow plane one week early access ish ish it's

287
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:42,159
not always a week but it's like definitely early access also beautiful

288
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:46,320
videos with top tier audio quality top tier audio

289
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:50,880
just wanna drop that out there all right speaking of top tier quality why don't

290
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:53,760
we talk about sc2 mitch's post on the forum

291
00:20:51,919 --> 00:20:57,360
uh the original article here is from astute gaming

292
00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:02,640
a site that i've never heard of but neither but sure one there you go

293
00:20:59,919 --> 00:21:07,840
and uh the headline here oh the headline oh

294
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:10,039
ea sports ufc 3 the single most

295
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:13,600
egregious implementation of microtransactions to

296
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:18,960
date so bad whoa have you read any about this at all

297
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:23,360
you know this is this is not my deal i'm not a

298
00:21:21,039 --> 00:21:26,320
ufc guy i'm not an ea sports guy and i rarely even have time for gaming and i

299
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:32,080
definitely don't pay for microtransactions so i tend to pretty much ignore them wherever they exist so

300
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:35,440
it offends me probably less than other people because this is a game i was

301
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:40,799
never going to play from a company whose game i was never going to put it i should still offend you okay hit me

302
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:46,240
reasons why i should still offend you no no no no no no no run run through what it is okay run through what it is right

303
00:21:43,679 --> 00:21:50,640
off the top every single technique ability fighter stat roll all of it is

304
00:21:49,120 --> 00:21:56,240
in quad is entirely acquired and upgraded

305
00:21:53,039 --> 00:21:56,240
through a loot box system

306
00:21:57,120 --> 00:22:02,720
okay oh where's the question you can't

307
00:22:00,159 --> 00:22:06,080
actually like buy a fighter pressing the square button apparently we're going for

308
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:09,840
playstation here pressing a square button to throw a punch at an opponent

309
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:16,159
the simplest and most obvious mechanic in an mma game will do more damage if

310
00:22:13,039 --> 00:22:16,159
players have paid money

311
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:24,320
in an online pvp game it will do more

312
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,320
damage if players have paid money

313
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:31,520
so good microtransactions are also the

314
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:33,600
only means of acquiring perks and boosts

315
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:38,799
perks are powerful abilities that can be equipped for a small number of fights

316
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:43,919
before expiring and boosts are temporary enhancements that offer endurance boosts

317
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:48,080
and durability bonuses meaning you can fight longer you can take less damage

318
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:51,440
and you can hit harder which is literally the entire game

319
00:22:52,799 --> 00:22:58,799
boom so good

320
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:02,559
so basically ea is saying that ufc

321
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:05,120
gamer fans

322
00:23:05,360 --> 00:23:09,760
are just

323
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:13,919
endless like like money teats that they can suck

324
00:23:12,559 --> 00:23:19,440
on pretty much does that sound like about what ea

325
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:22,640
apparently thinks so yeah they're their audience here and you know what the

326
00:23:20,559 --> 00:23:28,080
interesting thing is when we when we rolled out the coupon digging shirt

327
00:23:25,039 --> 00:23:30,720
that was because of ubisoft i know

328
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:34,480
but they've like taken turns well yeah because ea was like always crap like the

329
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:39,520
keep on digging was only relevant because ubisoft's crap-ness was like

330
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:43,440
kind of a new thing like ea i mean when was the last time

331
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:47,679
oh no because i remember like at that time we did actually have some positive

332
00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:50,720
ea deadlines yeah so they've switched and like like

333
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:55,919
ubisoft is not doing everything right right now

334
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:59,840
yeah there's some extremely valid complaints to be made about certain

335
00:23:57,360 --> 00:24:04,080
games of theirs like for honor uh but they also launched uh the south park

336
00:24:02,159 --> 00:24:07,679
game south park game was very fun it's quite a long game lots of content in it

337
00:24:06,159 --> 00:24:11,679
i haven't heard many people complaining about that all the negative reviews that i've seen

338
00:24:10,159 --> 00:24:15,840
on steam because there's quite a few of them are people going why the heck do i

339
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:19,520
need uplay that's not a new problem that's a consistent that's been around

340
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:22,880
dumb problems it is a dumb problem but it has existed for a long time i should

341
00:24:21,039 --> 00:24:26,400
play it did that just come out fairly recently there's nothing like

342
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:30,000
sticker truth right it's extremely similar to good truth oh cool it's like

343
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:33,520
basically the same game okay yeah it's just a different story yeah i'll just go

344
00:24:31,279 --> 00:24:37,760
play like like the overworld is essentially identical well yeah i mean

345
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:41,039
so yeah but like even town in colorado what do you want yeah you want to make a

346
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:45,760
new town in colorado and you can't redo the art style because it's south park so

347
00:24:43,279 --> 00:24:50,240
like it's it's like the same thing and you do the same thing where you go from

348
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:53,279
like house to house which i don't know there's only so many houses

349
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:57,120
yeah yeah but like it is a very good game it's

350
00:24:55,120 --> 00:25:00,640
funny yeah okay they said it has a completely different

351
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:04,000
combat system uh i don't even remember the previous one but yeah it's not it's

352
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:08,159
not like super next level or anything sure i

353
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:12,159
would recommend playing it on as hard of the difficulties yeah yeah sticker truth

354
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:18,480
is pretty easy yeah um okay cool but like it's it's

355
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:22,320
what do we even say about this there's like nothing to say you can't defend it

356
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:25,200
no you like you can't even play devil's advocate and be like oh well you know

357
00:25:23,919 --> 00:25:30,480
maybe if no not at all and like this is this this

358
00:25:28,159 --> 00:25:34,480
ties in with there's battlefront issues going on right now

359
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:38,159
while that's going on they somehow thought it was okay

360
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:41,840
to throw a beta keys for this game with this already implemented and this being

361
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:45,120
the style they take the micro transactions out of battlefront 2 and

362
00:25:43,279 --> 00:25:49,360
then what just assume that everyone's going to be super okay with ufc like oh

363
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:53,360
different target audience they're not even going to bring it up i don't think

364
00:25:50,799 --> 00:25:59,279
that's going to be a thing what is my hold on oh man yes mom oh boy hey hi i

thanks

385
00:27:23,679 --> 00:27:30,480
okay uh so let's jump into our sponsors sponsor number one spectrum which

386
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:34,240
classes do you want today uh oh i'll just go straight up with these so

387
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:38,880
spectrum staring at a monitor all day can be hard on your eyes over time and

388
00:27:36,559 --> 00:27:44,480
spectrum is an affordable solution to help you keep from your eyes getting

389
00:27:41,120 --> 00:27:46,799
fatigued there are software solutions to

390
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:50,159
reducing the amount of blue light that goes from your monitor into your eyes

391
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:54,640
like flux and twilight but they don't give you the same kind of filtering that

392
00:27:52,159 --> 00:27:58,399
an actual piece of glass or two pieces if you have two eyes would

393
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:03,799
they have many features including that they are stylish um they are

394
00:28:04,399 --> 00:28:10,080
you like well yeah that's what they do yeah no you wait you know what they do right

395
00:28:08,559 --> 00:28:13,360
yeah yeah yeah okay so basically they're like a yellow tinted len

396
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:17,279
oh actually you know what i never noticed this

397
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:21,039
before there was a there was a pair that i was wearing years ago like these

398
00:28:18,799 --> 00:28:24,480
yellow glasses are not an entirely new concept there was a pair i was wearing

399
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:27,200
years ago and the reason i stopped using it was because even though i did find

400
00:28:25,919 --> 00:28:34,000
that it was more comfortable over the course of the day was it had a slight magnification on it spectrum has

401
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:35,919
absolutely nailed this

402
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:40,159
no magnification whatsoever at least on this particular

403
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:44,320
pair uh well i don't notice any on this one either so that's pretty nice um

404
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:48,640
anyway it's high quality product one year warranty and extremely durable and

405
00:28:46,799 --> 00:28:52,320
they have very low color distortion so they're trying to block the high energy

406
00:28:49,919 --> 00:28:57,440
blue light while keeping other colors as similar as possible so you can check

407
00:28:54,799 --> 00:29:02,080
them out at spectrum oops you can check them out at

408
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:04,720
spectrumglasses.com collection prospects

409
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:09,360
and uh you can get 10 off using offer code Linus

410
00:29:07,679 --> 00:29:15,279
not bad i'm going to keep wearing these yeah next up we've got

411
00:29:13,039 --> 00:29:20,000
oh what is this

412
00:29:16,559 --> 00:29:22,399
this has happened a handful of times

413
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:26,399
and people always like people always go tinfoil hat on this kind of stuff when

414
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:28,640
it happens but uh have you did you watch our video about this

415
00:29:27,679 --> 00:29:33,760
the the answer once but no i didn't interesting okay so this has happened a

416
00:29:32,159 --> 00:29:38,480
handful of times where we with no

417
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:43,039
no intention of actually ever working together we've done a review of a

418
00:29:40,799 --> 00:29:47,840
product in this case it was the m cable from marsai

419
00:29:44,799 --> 00:29:49,919
a product that claims to improve the

420
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:55,360
image quality of a device that it's attached to

421
00:29:52,799 --> 00:30:00,399
i didn't see this video okay so many songs going off please explain it's over

422
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:04,960
a hundred dollars okay it's 150 bucks okay for an m cable yep

423
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:09,440
and what they claim well you can see what they claim i'm reserving judgment

424
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:14,480
because they only take sponsors pixel and graphics rejuvenation

425
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:19,120
advanced contextual anti-aliasing contrast and detail enhancement lag free

426
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:22,960
real-time processing and an automatic

427
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:26,720
movie mode they claim

428
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:30,559
and it works so inside the cable see how there's a

429
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:35,679
usb connection yes i did see that it is actually a powered signal processor and

430
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:41,760
i saw on the t on the tv end of the cable is like huge yep so so it actually

431
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:45,760
works particularly well for certain applications uh one of which is anime so

432
00:30:44,559 --> 00:30:50,559
i think you're holding the cinema edition does a great job of like low

433
00:30:48,799 --> 00:30:55,840
resolution anime collections you got a bunch of like 480p anime

434
00:30:53,760 --> 00:31:00,960
it cleans up a lot of the lines a lot of banding that 2006 warcraft video i got

435
00:30:58,559 --> 00:31:07,600
uh no that so there's a limit to the tech um so we went uh oh oh we hooked it

436
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:09,760
up with like original unreal oh yeah it

437
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:12,399
looked really good um

438
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:16,799
ah the m cable cinema is actually apparently also great for streaming

439
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:21,039
content that isn't something that we tested extensively in ours but we did

440
00:31:19,039 --> 00:31:26,159
take a look at a lot of down-sampled content and it managed to do a really

441
00:31:23,919 --> 00:31:30,000
good job you guys can't see it because it's way too small but up in this corner

442
00:31:27,919 --> 00:31:34,080
and i'm sure if you go to their website um which is probably on

443
00:31:33,039 --> 00:31:38,559
green marsai inc.com it shows that there's

444
00:31:36,799 --> 00:31:43,360
like a processor and stuff going on within the cable sub one millisecond leg

445
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:48,080
we did not notice any discernible leg even in like

446
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:52,000
uh you know crt optimized games like super mario world um it's pretty awesome

447
00:31:50,559 --> 00:31:57,840
and it's even supports frame rates up to 1080p 120 so you can legitimately game

448
00:31:55,120 --> 00:32:01,440
on the gaming edition here and uh yeah you guys you guys should probably check

449
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:06,399
it out the the best use cases we found for it were older

450
00:32:03,679 --> 00:32:11,600
consoles but not too old so you don't want something like a nest but something

451
00:32:08,559 --> 00:32:13,600
like an n64 playstation playstation

452
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:17,120
makes sense actually yeah you can clean up the quality of it a fair bit because

453
00:32:15,039 --> 00:32:22,799
to be fair a nest is already pretty clean old anime yeah um streamed

454
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:26,320
video i'm oh sorry oh oh that's where i got confused by streams

455
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:30,240
i don't necessarily mean live streaming although it would help with that but any

456
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:34,480
kind of internet video where it's like pretty good but a little bit of tidy up

457
00:32:32,559 --> 00:32:39,600
would probably not be a bad idea it's great for that guess what vr

458
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:42,799
lots of people are using it for vr because the displays are low resolution

459
00:32:41,279 --> 00:32:46,559
and it cleans up the image a little bit yeah um and apparently the results are

460
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:51,760
fantastic though i actually haven't tried that personally yet it's interesting how like a type of

461
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:56,480
content is specifically better that actually makes sense so check them out

462
00:32:53,760 --> 00:33:00,960
at marsai inc.com this is one of those situations where we intended to do a

463
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:05,200
useless tech over a hundred ended up spending Anthony spent an

464
00:33:02,799 --> 00:33:09,440
entire week because we knew we couldn't come out and say this thing is really

465
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:12,880
great unless we absolutely proved it like if we were going to come

466
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:17,200
out and say it's it's junk that would be easy because we've done that before we

467
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:23,279
made a video on the 1 000 like silver HDMI cable based on that

468
00:33:20,399 --> 00:33:27,519
their claims were bs which they obviously were yeah and that's easy

469
00:33:25,679 --> 00:33:31,679
that's like cheap easy content so we were intending to do more cheap easy

470
00:33:29,279 --> 00:33:35,440
content and instead and you got i screwed paid someone for an entire week

471
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:43,760
to make a video but then they turned around and now they're sponsoring the lan show so i guess that worked out okay

472
00:33:38,799 --> 00:33:45,200
um all right last sponsor they're back

473
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:51,200
i'm gonna do something hot this week by the way someone said their background looks fake it's not are that

474
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:56,799
i can like pick things up from yeah i'm going to type i'm going to type on this

475
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,799
underwood the keys don't come back up

476
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:04,559
there you go this is like the world's most convincing that's

477
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:10,320
that's my con oh it's out of the frame convincing i think this is an

478
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:13,760
NVIDIA ammo box why don't we have it showing the top secret

479
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:16,960
it's the wrong way around because it's a secret you dunk

480
00:34:15,359 --> 00:34:21,520
oh no i don't i don't know i don't know it's just so much cooler all right all

481
00:34:20,399 --> 00:34:25,440
right i'll put the top secret there's the NVIDIA crowbar too

482
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:28,480
yeah that's that's hidden there's a lot of secret cool things around that was

483
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:34,960
the uh that was the container that anyone who reviewed the uh gtx 590 yeah

484
00:34:32,879 --> 00:34:38,320
yeah got the card in and it was such a terrible shipping container my first one

485
00:34:36,720 --> 00:34:42,240
was broken because they just put like packing peanuts and like an anti-static bag in

486
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:48,560
there and it's just a metal container there's no like there's no shock absorption

487
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:54,320
so my card was totally broken so we're in the chat wow cgi has come a long way

488
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:56,079
yeah oh you dicks um

489
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:59,359
all right what do you want today uh we're going we're going hot you can

490
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:03,200
do whatever you want but i'm going with the ghost peppers ghost pepper buffalo

491
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:08,560
sauce did you do it last week no i went i went

492
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:11,359
i ate an entire pack of the maple maybe we both said we were like going to do it

493
00:35:10,079 --> 00:35:15,119
or i said i was going to do it and i don't think either of us did it so yeah

494
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:22,880
oh i'm preparing myself these guys really do make freaking hot

495
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:28,400
jerky and not just jerky they also make barbecue sauce hot sauce and a spice rub

496
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:32,800
so their carolina reaper hot sauce uses one of the hottest peppers in the world

497
00:35:31,359 --> 00:35:36,000
the jalapeno no i'm just kidding the carolina reaper

498
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:40,880
their jerky is made with great ingredients without nitrates or preservatives and the goal is to create

499
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:44,400
a snack that is full of flavor and spice that's not bad for you

500
00:35:42,720 --> 00:35:48,960
it's definitely full of flavor and it's definitely full of spices i'm starting with a small piece i'm working

501
00:35:46,720 --> 00:35:52,720
my way up to it today they've got 13 different flavors of

502
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:55,359
jerky i'm gonna regret that was some of the favorites did you eat the whole

503
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:59,920
thing yep oh being the sriracha bacon maple

504
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:01,680
buffalo bacon and traditional flavors

505
00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:05,359
i'm partial to the mojo me too and the uh

506
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:09,599
which one's the one with the white and black packaging is that the sausage classic is that classic no classic is

507
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:14,320
red traditional is red no there's one with a white and black

508
00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:17,760
package that's really good whatever the one with the white and

509
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:21,760
black package anyway use offer code LTT to save 10 on their products at the link

510
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:24,800
below sea salt uh what was it something pepper

511
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:29,280
cracked pepper and sea salt that one's really good

512
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:33,280
okay i'm gonna keep working on this i'm i'm going slow and steady wins the

513
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:38,000
race man Windows 10 is bringing tabs to every

514
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:43,119
microsoft is bringing tabs to every Windows 10 app the spice flip that

515
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:45,760
around on me nona hexa was this posted this on the forum

516
00:36:46,079 --> 00:36:51,359
microsoft is planning to add tabs like the ones in your web browser

517
00:36:49,839 --> 00:36:56,480
to apps and Windows 10 allowing you to group apps together

518
00:36:53,520 --> 00:37:00,480
they're calling this feature sets so say you're working on a word document

519
00:36:58,240 --> 00:37:05,119
you need to research data on the web or grab notes from powerpoint you can

520
00:37:02,079 --> 00:37:06,800
create sets or tabs of these tasks in a

521
00:37:05,119 --> 00:37:10,880
single window honestly i think this is actually pretty

522
00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:15,119
sick yeah that sounds great i really like this because often times

523
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:20,720
i'll have a few different things that are for one thing

524
00:37:18,720 --> 00:37:24,079
honestly my preferred method is just to have more monitor space so i can have it

525
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:31,119
all open at the same time you're gonna have Windows 7 anyway that's so 8.1

526
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:34,320
are you running 8.1 okay yeah yeah okay i'm excited i wish this wasn't

527
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:37,599
news because i wish this was a thing ages ago but i'm not going to be down on

528
00:37:36,079 --> 00:37:42,880
them for like doing something good so it would also be really cool if like on the

529
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,880
taskbar at the bottom

530
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:49,839
you could have your set icon down there so you could like click on it and then

531
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:53,200
it would bring up the multiple things instead of having it all in one because

532
00:37:51,599 --> 00:37:56,240
oftentimes i want to copy between them and read one thing while i'm typing one

533
00:37:54,960 --> 00:38:01,760
thing and having it all in a set actually isn't very conducive to that but

534
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:06,240
it'll still be really nice and helpful except not for me so oh well although

535
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:09,760
8.1 is getting painful because i think it's like less than 10 of people are

536
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:14,720
using it so like compatibility for my platform is

537
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,720
like really not great

538
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:21,119
so file explorer even notepad and they'll eventually be

539
00:38:18,720 --> 00:38:25,119
extending to app that have custom title bars like photoshop um and they're

540
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:28,880
aiming to let iphone and Android users start sets and then resume them on a pc

541
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:31,880
or vice versa oh i'm getting my spicy hiccups

542
00:38:32,079 --> 00:38:36,480
all right um

543
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:41,760
this is pretty bad this was posted by hey yo on the forum

544
00:38:43,359 --> 00:38:49,040
websites use your CPU to mine cryptocurrency

545
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:52,320
even when you close your browser that's new well

546
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:56,320
yeah like we've heard of we talked about the pirate bay yep and another one i

547
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:59,760
don't remember who it was but another one

548
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:04,720
but this is new it's it's always it's always been kind of a

549
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:09,280
short-term thing because it's only lasted um

550
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:13,200
while you were on that page yeah luckily for these websites a lot of people just

551
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:19,520
leave things open in tabs wow look at this so they've got a pop under

552
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:21,280
that's opening up another tab

553
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:26,560
that is running this in the background so you see once they close it the CPU

554
00:39:23,599 --> 00:39:26,560
usage goes away

555
00:39:26,839 --> 00:39:34,800
wow you can still close it so one researcher recently documented 2

556
00:39:32,240 --> 00:39:41,599
500 sites actively running crypto mining code in visitors browsers

557
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:43,680
that's a lot of sites actually yeah

558
00:39:41,599 --> 00:39:47,200
that's pretty brutal i wonder what

559
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:51,359
these sites are though so basically in a nutshell um

560
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:59,040
so the one that they're focused on is mining monero so this is like

561
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:01,680
i don't know i think everyone should be offended by this like some people might

562
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:06,720
not think it's that big of a deal but this is using your electricity and your

563
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:11,040
CPU resources so like your investment to just make money from this site

564
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:15,680
cranking your CPU and it's potentially making your CPU run really hot which can

565
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:18,800
potentially reduce its lifespan especially if you're on a mobile device

566
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:23,359
and speaking of a mobile device if you're on something that's battery

567
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:25,119
powered this is going to destroy your

568
00:40:23,359 --> 00:40:29,839
battery life if it's a technique that's being used on any sites that you visit

569
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,839
regularly

570
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:37,440
right now the technique works on the latest version of chrome running on the

571
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:40,640
latest versions of Windows 7 and Windows 10. at the moment no indication that

572
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:46,720
it's being used on other browsers or operating systems so your incompatibility state of the day

573
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:51,920
that's hilarious freaking brilliant

574
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:55,839
it's the apple approach you know we are secure because no one's making viruses

575
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:59,200
for us you know what's interesting is that that's not in the dock have you

576
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:03,359
heard about that uh yeah i did see that hilarious you know what's interesting is

577
00:41:01,119 --> 00:41:07,760
our render server like the one that does our final export before we upload yeah

578
00:41:06,720 --> 00:41:12,560
almost never errors out on a render in fact i'm

579
00:41:10,240 --> 00:41:15,520
not aware of it ever having done it Windows 8.1

580
00:41:15,599 --> 00:41:20,359
it's the uh embedded version the Windows yeah

581
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:27,680
all right dude messaged me today it's it's like the third a few days ago it's like the

582
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:32,079
third year anniversary of the like Windows 9 thing

583
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:36,640
oh really cool yeah so this is sort of a big deal um

584
00:41:35,359 --> 00:41:41,839
if you're into like that sort of thing but

585
00:41:38,720 --> 00:41:43,599
our formal emp or our former employer oh

586
00:41:41,839 --> 00:41:49,200
yeah uh has

587
00:41:46,240 --> 00:41:52,079
here we go where is this this is kind of crazy

588
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:58,640
yeah so here hold on i'm gonna bring this up

589
00:41:55,440 --> 00:42:01,359
search civil by party name

590
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:03,839
so netlink computer inc um

591
00:42:04,079 --> 00:42:09,119
oh wait hold on so here's some here so here you can i

592
00:42:08,079 --> 00:42:15,760
actually didn't even know you can do this of course that makes sense so you can search for uh lawsuits or like you

593
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:19,839
can search for court cases by party name it's a net link computer inc uh small

594
00:42:18,079 --> 00:42:25,119
claims small claims small claims small claims uh four times over the uh

595
00:42:23,359 --> 00:42:31,280
over the last uh you know since 2011 and boom

596
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:37,040
net link computer inc bora group inc

597
00:42:33,599 --> 00:42:38,480
the netlink computer inc supreme

598
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:45,680
bankruptcy december 1 2017. so this

599
00:42:42,240 --> 00:42:46,960
just went down uh my formal my former

600
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:51,280
employer is i mean is this still up

601
00:42:50,319 --> 00:42:56,319
oh uh uh

602
00:42:53,599 --> 00:43:00,880
no i think it's still loading uh

603
00:42:58,319 --> 00:43:04,720
no no i'm pretty sure it's still loading uh

604
00:43:01,839 --> 00:43:10,960
oh oh yeah there we go the site's still up i really don't know

605
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:13,440
that i would necessarily recommend

606
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:16,800
um apparently shopping there though getting your stuff after you buy it has

607
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:20,400
been a little bit of an issue recently for a while yeah yep um

608
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:24,839
so i yeah i i haven't done any i haven't done any

609
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:30,079
uh pre like sort of research here but uh

610
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:33,920
i'm heading over to the i'm heading over to the forum

611
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:37,760
uh okay

612
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:43,520
restructuring okay

613
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:45,440
important service announcement

614
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:49,680
uh we figured it's time to write a formal post about the restructuring wow

615
00:43:48,240 --> 00:43:55,119
i'm pretty sure this threat has been pruned because i know that there were

616
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:57,440
other things in here before

617
00:43:55,119 --> 00:43:57,440
huh

618
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,880
all right

619
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:10,480
um ncix supreme bankruptcy confirmed

620
00:44:08,720 --> 00:44:15,920
okay what is supreme is there sub-supreme bankruptcy i have no idea it

621
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:19,200
sounds crazy like

622
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:25,520
what but um wow yeah i've had a lot of people

623
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:26,880
no buyer two box i did not cause this

624
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:30,400
um no i mean that okay i don't know i don't

625
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:34,160
know well how much should i talk about right now

626
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:39,280
scale of one to ten like a six or six okay like not not that

627
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:43,839
high so i left um partly because i saw a great opportunity

628
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:48,160
in uh content creation online

629
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:52,960
and partly because i had some significant we're

630
00:44:51,440 --> 00:45:00,560
getting closer to a three fundamental disagreements with senior management um

631
00:44:58,240 --> 00:45:02,839
okay particularly the owner over

632
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:08,319
what exactly we needed to do in terms of our

633
00:45:05,599 --> 00:45:12,560
direction as a company i also left

634
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:16,319
this was a significant part of the reason for my departure i also left

635
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:21,839
because the people that i had been mentored by

636
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:25,520
there um the people that i had really felt like

637
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:29,119
i learned a lot from were departing

638
00:45:27,119 --> 00:45:35,599
um and they sometimes for very good reasons i'm not

639
00:45:32,240 --> 00:45:38,640
going to defend the conduct and

640
00:45:35,599 --> 00:45:41,520
job performance of at least one of them

641
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:47,280
but some of them were forced out by extraordinarily

642
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:49,119
in my opinion extraordinary poor

643
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:54,720
management decisions and that ultimately led me to believe

644
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:56,240
that i could do it better

645
00:45:54,720 --> 00:46:02,319
so i had an opportunity

646
00:45:58,839 --> 00:46:05,359
and i thought i could do it better and i

647
00:46:02,319 --> 00:46:06,880
thought that my company made my way

648
00:46:05,359 --> 00:46:11,440
would be something that would make me happier to get up in the morning and go

649
00:46:10,240 --> 00:46:15,760
to um it's made me happier well i'm glad to

650
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:22,720
hear that uh i know you're having a moment i just wanted to add some comedy yeah thank you

651
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:24,720
and that was ultimately why i left i

652
00:46:22,720 --> 00:46:30,240
didn't agree with the strategy i thought uh and this was something that

653
00:46:26,720 --> 00:46:32,400
i pitched about six and a half years ago

654
00:46:30,240 --> 00:46:36,560
i thought the direction for us to go and i mean by us i mean i was at ncix i was

655
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:40,000
one of the top product management people there i might have been a category

656
00:46:37,839 --> 00:46:43,599
manager at that point can't remember um anyway i was basically at or near the

657
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:46,480
highest rank that you could really have in the company there before

658
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:52,560
um and i don't wanna you know the odds of anyone that this

659
00:46:50,720 --> 00:46:56,160
might apply to ever watching this stream are pretty low

660
00:46:53,760 --> 00:47:01,520
but my opinion of some of the people that were hired in senior positions

661
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:05,680
couldn't possibly be any lower so you know that was

662
00:47:03,599 --> 00:47:07,760
that was there were some bad decisions there as well

663
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:14,000
um anyway where was i where was i going with this right so the direction that i

664
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:15,119
had wanted to go was um to try to get

665
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:19,520
acquired and the way to try and get acquired is

666
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:25,200
to have some kind of a value that somebody else would want

667
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:27,119
and it wasn't going to be the website

668
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:31,920
let's be honest um it wasn't going to be the logistics

669
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:37,680
system and you know i can't say too much about what ncix had

670
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:41,520
because you know i don't want to i don't want to be disrespectful of their

671
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:46,720
privacy as a company but i will tell you that

672
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:48,400
it wasn't you know robot arms and

673
00:47:46,720 --> 00:47:52,560
you know robot eyes and automated conveyor belts

674
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:58,400
like what state-of-the-art warehouses were doing even back then

675
00:47:56,079 --> 00:48:02,000
it was not that so it wasn't going to be the warehousing system

676
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:05,680
it wasn't going to be the inventory management system i can tell you that

677
00:48:03,599 --> 00:48:11,920
much it wasn't going to be the um the super

678
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:15,760
talented team and there were talented people on it obviously like i was part

679
00:48:14,240 --> 00:48:20,560
of it i think i was pretty talented there were definitely talented people on

680
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:25,839
it but i don't know that that was visible enough externally um and i think

681
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:29,599
that you would end up with um a lot of in order to acquire a team you'd have

682
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:33,760
ended up with a lot of dead weight um and i don't even necessarily mean in

683
00:48:31,119 --> 00:48:39,119
terms of people like the locations that we had leased i think at one point there

684
00:48:35,839 --> 00:48:40,559
were three locations in richmond

685
00:48:39,119 --> 00:48:44,960
um which is a small city just to give you

686
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:51,440
guys some idea of why that wouldn't be a good idea

687
00:48:46,839 --> 00:48:52,480
um so so so my concept for what we could

688
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:58,880
build having seen uh the partnership between NVIDIA with

689
00:48:56,480 --> 00:49:04,319
the shield and eb games in the states where i think the shield was initially

690
00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:05,599
only available to preview it at eb games

691
00:49:04,319 --> 00:49:08,960
in the states and i was like why would they make it exclusive to them and i

692
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:14,079
could be remembering some little detail of this wrong maybe it was a nintendo system i don't know whatever the point

693
00:49:11,839 --> 00:49:18,559
is the reason that they partnered with them was that they still had at that

694
00:49:15,599 --> 00:49:22,640
time anyway 4 500 locations which has a value

695
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:29,520
another thing that i thought could have a value would be a distribution system

696
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:31,119
slash business model that combatted one

697
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:35,280
of the biggest difficulties of doing business in canada which is extremely

698
00:49:32,720 --> 00:49:38,720
high shipping cost it deters customers from shopping online

699
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:42,720
and it enables brick and mortar to continue to

700
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:46,800
be competitive here because shipping a case across the country from newag is

701
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:51,760
like seven dollars shipping a case across this country from ncix could be

702
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:55,440
as much as 30 40 60 depending on how remote you are so

703
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:58,480
you know it was a constant refrain from customers shipping kills the deal you'd

704
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:02,880
hear it all the time so the concept that i pitched was like

705
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:07,440
an ncix light these would be extremely small stores um

706
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:12,079
like maybe 600 to 800 square feet really

707
00:50:10,240 --> 00:50:16,400
small stores with really small storefronts that were effectively kind

708
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:21,920
of ordering kiosks and the idea was that you'd have technical services so you

709
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:26,160
could walk into small communities like kamloops and displace the mom and pop

710
00:50:24,240 --> 00:50:29,599
shops with a trusted brand believe it or not at the time we were a trusted brand

711
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:33,680
you could displace those mom and pop shops as a trusted brand you could

712
00:50:31,359 --> 00:50:37,040
probably cover your lease and your employee overhead

713
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:44,160
with the services business that you're doing then you would stock like two skus tops

714
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:46,800
of every category so that if someone walked in

715
00:50:45,359 --> 00:50:51,760
they could build like something basically the computer at any given time

716
00:50:49,599 --> 00:50:55,920
which is pretty easy to define it's really easy to do so right now you would

717
00:50:53,920 --> 00:51:02,880
stock assuming that you there is inventory you would stock the 8400

718
00:50:59,599 --> 00:51:06,160
for Intel and you would stock the uh the

719
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:08,240
ryzen 5 1600 or something along those

720
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:13,040
lines and then you'd have like a motherboard for each of them you'd have

721
00:51:10,319 --> 00:51:17,119
an eight gig stick and a 16 gig stick and like obviously multiples of each of

722
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:21,040
these but the idea is that if someone just like wanted like the computer right

723
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:24,800
now like the bang for the buck sweet one that everyone wants you could just walk

724
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:28,640
in and buy it or we would build a system

725
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:32,559
and it wouldn't be a complicated system but we would have a network of trucks

726
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:37,599
that would crisscross the country constantly between the two locations

727
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:42,720
that we had in the west and in the east so that the model would be you can shop

728
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:48,400
online and you can ship to your house or we'd have these little tiny low overhead

729
00:51:45,599 --> 00:51:53,359
locations scattered across the country and you could get free pick up at any

730
00:51:50,079 --> 00:51:55,680
location and this was well before

731
00:51:53,359 --> 00:52:00,400
amazon started doing pick up someone in the chat whoa ncx actually sounds really

732
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:04,800
cool this was an idea never happened that he was pitching i pitched this this

733
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:08,880
is what i wanted to do instead of these monolithic

734
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:12,640
high overhead extraordinarily expensive retail stores

735
00:52:10,319 --> 00:52:17,200
um in order to you know i the writing was on the wall like seven

736
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:21,760
years ago amazon was going to kill us all like the people who were paying

737
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:28,240
attention knew this already so the idea was to build this

738
00:52:26,079 --> 00:52:32,720
infrastructure so that when amazon decided to hit the switch and you can

739
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:36,800
see now they're running around acquiring people that have infrastructure that

740
00:52:34,559 --> 00:52:41,680
they like like whole foods the idea was that when they came in they could buy us

741
00:52:40,319 --> 00:52:46,079
um and that never happened

742
00:52:44,079 --> 00:52:48,800
if i'd had the resources i think that could have been the way for me to never

743
00:52:47,359 --> 00:52:52,880
have to work again like if i could have built my like i

744
00:52:50,720 --> 00:52:56,640
even to go back like if i was the one who had the resources that i have today

745
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:59,119
even that might have been a model that i would have pursued i really believed in

746
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:05,520
it i thought that it was a great opportunity it's not worth it now

747
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:07,599
oh no you'd never make it now no but um

748
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:12,880
i should buy ncix and do that i couldn't afford ncix

749
00:53:09,359 --> 00:53:15,680
not because i i couldn't afford um like

750
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:21,119
what ncix's net value is right now but i couldn't afford ncix's overhead the the

751
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:24,160
the monthly expenses um even with all the layoffs that they've done there's

752
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:29,280
still a lot of employees there's still a lot of buildings there's still a lot of

753
00:53:26,839 --> 00:53:32,400
inventory um so

754
00:53:30,319 --> 00:53:38,880
when we didn't do that and when we continued marching down the

755
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:40,079
obviously no longer viable big box

756
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:45,520
retail path i figured out that i had to get out so

757
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:50,000
ultimately the reason that i ended up leaving ncix and taking this guy with me

758
00:53:48,240 --> 00:53:55,920
and ed with me thanks for coming along bro um

759
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:59,680
yeah that i was thinking that five year thing it's actually like seven or

760
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:04,800
something or eight or something yeah it's kind of ridiculous so um

761
00:54:03,359 --> 00:54:10,160
anyway sorry i forget where i was going with that um right so so what happened

762
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:13,520
when i left was i had decided to leave and the reason that i was able to take

763
00:54:11,599 --> 00:54:20,400
the Linus tech tips channel and so to be clear i take no pleasure whatsoever

764
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:23,520
in ncix's demise you know and i've seen a lot of horror

765
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:28,400
stories online but however they've treated other people um

766
00:54:26,079 --> 00:54:32,640
everyone there all the way up to steve the owner and mary his wife they have

767
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:39,119
always treated me with the utmost kindness and respect um

768
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:42,000
i have not had personal bad experiences

769
00:54:39,119 --> 00:54:45,280
with anyone there from from hr to my colleagues to

770
00:54:43,599 --> 00:54:48,960
um i shouldn't say everyone there were some there were some some poor just

771
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:52,559
hiring decisions made but at the very highest level the at least

772
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:56,240
the people that i consider to be at the highest level

773
00:54:54,079 --> 00:55:02,640
um you know i i take no pleasure from this i learned a lot there like i am

774
00:54:59,920 --> 00:55:07,119
everything i understand about business what to do right

775
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:09,040
what to do wrong um it was ultimately

776
00:55:07,119 --> 00:55:12,800
from them i i didn't go to school for business management i don't have an mba

777
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:17,520
i don't i don't actually have any formal education everything i learned was

778
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:22,240
school of hard knocks and ncix was a stupendous proving ground for me

779
00:55:20,559 --> 00:55:27,760
um so you know

780
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:30,160
i take no pleasure in this but um

781
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:35,440
uh where was i going with this but uh how you got the channel right how

782
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:39,839
i got the channel so so ultimately um i was able right right right so i'm

783
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:43,280
i'm very grateful to them for giving me the opportunity to to

784
00:55:42,240 --> 00:55:49,359
build up this channel and then ultimately take it with me because the deal was

785
00:55:46,240 --> 00:55:51,200
uh look i'm leaving because i disagree

786
00:55:49,359 --> 00:55:58,640
with some of the stuff we're doing and you my boss is gone who i loved um

787
00:55:55,599 --> 00:56:01,760
and that sucks and so i'm out

788
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:04,400
so you can either let me walk away to

789
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:09,200
another retailer and i mean you know i didn't have four million

790
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:13,599
subscribers and a team of you know 19 people that's like a world-class video

791
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:17,119
production team like i hadn't built any of this yet yeah we were pretty far from

792
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:21,280
it yeah we were a long way away from this but for me personally anyway

793
00:56:19,839 --> 00:56:25,280
my stock was high enough that i could have walked into literally any

794
00:56:23,599 --> 00:56:29,920
electronics entity and gone like this and i would have had

795
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:33,839
a job so i wasn't concerned about getting a job

796
00:56:31,359 --> 00:56:37,680
what i was concerned about was building a team and building something and making

797
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:41,839
sure that luke and ed who were both out of work if i walked out of there and

798
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:47,760
didn't manage to take them with me making sure that they stayed employed so

799
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:50,160
the deal was look i'm leaving

800
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:53,200
but if we can work out a deal where i take the Linus tech tips youtube channel

801
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:59,200
the trademark and any associated assets

802
00:56:57,119 --> 00:57:01,760
which now that this is going on i'm really happy we did buy the book with a

803
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:06,079
lawyer um i'll get to that more later but if i

804
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:09,520
take all that stuff with me i'll sign a non-compete for

805
00:57:07,839 --> 00:57:14,079
i believe it was two years but it ended up getting extended to three and for

806
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:17,680
pennies on the dollar i'll come back and i'll continue to support the ncix tech

807
00:57:16,079 --> 00:57:21,839
tips channel so that you don't have to replace me immediately also i'll give

808
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:25,440
you as much notice for my departure as you need so i had originally planned on

809
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:28,480
giving somewhere between a month and six weeks notice i ended up giving about

810
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:32,160
five months notice um although

811
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:35,040
in fairness i phoned in about the last three weeks of it but then i had trained

812
00:57:33,839 --> 00:57:40,960
my replacements for pretty much everything i didn't really know what to do when it was five months like um yeah

813
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:45,839
like i tried okay i tried so the fact that we um the fact that we acquired

814
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:51,599
those assets legally is really important because if someone if the um like the

815
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:55,839
bankruptcy lawyers if whoever ncix's creditors are were to find that it had

816
00:57:54,319 --> 00:58:00,240
an asset that was worth a significant amount of money and let me tell you

817
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:05,839
Linus tech tips is worth a significant amount of money both

818
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:11,040
as a brand and as a youtube channel at this point um although you know no i'm

819
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:14,240
not going to say no thanks to ncix but most of that development has been done

820
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:18,319
in the five years since we left but if it was found that that asset wasn't

821
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:23,040
transferred tidally then it could also be found that

822
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:26,559
ncix still had some claim to make against it and then their creditors

823
00:58:24,799 --> 00:58:30,960
would as well so steve i trusted to never do anything

824
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:34,720
untoward with me um

825
00:58:32,079 --> 00:58:37,599
but creditors creditors all bets are off i really didn't you

826
00:58:36,559 --> 00:58:43,440
know i didn't think it would come to this i take no pleasure in it but um

827
00:58:41,839 --> 00:58:48,559
that's what happened and uh yeah for some context there we

828
00:58:46,079 --> 00:58:52,960
broke off at what 240 000 subscribers something like that yeah we're now at

829
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:58,960
4.8 million yep there's kind of been a lot of work done yep we've been we've

830
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:58,960
been going pretty hard on it so yeah

831
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:07,040
so uh elena's tech tips documentary no

832
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:12,640
no that probably won't happen we actually tried to do it behind this like a behind the blow type uh thing here and

833
00:59:11,119 --> 00:59:16,079
it was a total disaster we brought in a third-party film crew they like shot a

834
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:20,400
bunch of stuff then they submitted a rough cut that was

835
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:24,400
awful totally unusable uh and then we tried to edit it together ourselves but

836
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:29,599
by then our team was like 60 bigger so like different yeah

837
00:59:27,359 --> 00:59:33,359
like a third of our staff wasn't in the video and yeah it just didn't make sense

838
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:35,599
um yeah

839
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:42,400
all right so uh what else do we have for topics

840
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:46,079
yeah that was wow that was kind of a freaking downer of a topic man it also

841
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:49,280

846
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:13,760

successful but at a previous time of them being huge they also tried to roll

out cereal and this one is not just

864
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:26,079
