well you don't have to sit up you could also just tilt your camera down a little bit and we're live welcome to the WAN
show ladies and gentlemen we are going to have a fantastic show for you today
I'm super excited because I get to take possession of my new house today so I
was thinking maybe I would show Luke some pictures and maybe you guys could
look at them too you can do do you guys want to watch while we look at things
I've already seen the pictures I was going to pretend you hadn't so I have
not seen the pictures this will be a first time reaction all reactions will
be genuine way to spoil it for
everyone in other news Microsoft has elaborated on the Windows 11 CPU
requirements and is defending the requirement for a trusted platform
module so we're going to be talking about that what else we got
Luke there's uh Sony charging developers
uh $25,000 to show up on the PlayStation store that's that's cool and also fun
and in other cool and also fun console news there will be TV style or I would I
would probably say mobile style ads coming to console and PC
gaming so cool I'm so happy for this yay
all right um yeah let's roll the intro
that actually sounds like the worst cool
good day in the YouTube comments says uh sell the house and get
Bitcoins sounds like a good strap yeah that sounds like a a helpful
suggestion the show is brought to you by Redux and ridge
wallet all right let's jump right into
our first topic of the day Microsoft has
elaborated on their Windows 11 CPU requirements and defended the TPM
requirements as well so after the reveal like Luke were you a little surprised to
find out that eth gen core and second gen ryzen were listed as the minimum
supported CPUs very extremely I would
actually say yeah yeah and this isn't one of those things where it's kind of
like you know oh I definitely have not seen those pictures before like this is
honest honest surprise right
yes all right now especially because my world is shatter my world is shaking
Luke I don't know what I can trust and what I can't because you know I I
thought you were a truthful a truthful kind of character and now I found out
you've seen all these pictures already yeah there's there's also stuff like was
it was it I think Vista where they had this like pretty high system requirement
and then like no one listened to it and then everyone hated Vista um so like but
it but it worked on those systems even though it was just a bad experience
it doesn't seem like that's necessarily the case like it it actually so we'll
get we'll get into this now the crazy thing about it though is that some older
CPUs because you got to remember there's two different uh important dates for a
CPU there's the date that it actually was initially available commercially
that's date number one and then date number two is the date that it went EOL
that it effectively stopped being sold and here's the problem some of those CP
that are that are older CPUs were still
being sold brand new less than 2 years
ago like the ryzen 5600 AF now Microsoft
has since announced that they are testing zen1 and K Lake CPUs via The
Insider program however installing The Insider Windows 11 build with an
unsupported CPU will show a message that says the final version may not be
available for you upon release which is a pretty big Downer with that said our
internal testing has Windows 11 running on much older CPUs so there's probably
more to the story here than compatibility or performance we actually
got it running on a Core 2 Duo and we just shot a video on how we did that and
it seemed to run completely fine like
cor2 what's that
2007 2008 core to Duo release date like
what's the E when did the e 206 2006 that was oh wow I'm old it was
15 years ago 15 years holy shnikies
anyway the other big requirement that has caused issues for people is the TPM
or trusted platform module Microsoft's
PC health check app proclaimed that many
modern PCS were incompatible due to a lack of TPM um the frustrating thing
about that is that it's only recommendation to rectify the problem
was to buy a new pc the PC health check
app has since been pulled and that's a
good thing because the last thing you want to do after a period of prolonged
hardship around the world is say hey you
know what things not working out for you so great PC's a little old you know what
go buy a new one but you buy a new one
you don't just complain about bunch of money to just go buy a new one why don't
you have money to buy a new one you
like that that's the that's the way a lot of people felt about it and that's
justifiable because if you have a perfectly good computer why should you
suddenly just have to throw it away and buy a new one because you don't have
some little validation module thing uh
and of course just because your computer
might have the option to add a TPM doesn't necessarily mean that it will be
easy to do it scalpers immediately
bought out stock of TPMS and put them up on sites like eBay for many many times
the price the good news is that most
platforms since 2015 have a TPM integrated into the firmware it's just
disabled by default on DIY
motherboards so all this confusion has led manufacturers like MSI and Gigabyte
to make press releases with supported lists of motherboards that can use TPM
2.0 although here's a problem um many
ITX boards actually don't have the uh
the the uh the pins for the module which is a little frustrating because
especially with high performance ones they're always looking for new ways to
save space however most non ITX boards
since 2013 have TPM headers and ever since Skylake and first gen ryzen
virtually all have firmware TPMS with that said not all discret TPM
headers are the same ASUS and Gigabyte each have three different types of them
all of which are incompatible with each other so you can't just go on eBay order
a TPM module and plon it onto your system you have to make sure that it is
compatible not just with your motherboard vendor but also with the
specific model of motherboard you have
now Luke how do you feel about the
requirement of a tpn it feels a little weird to me
personally not going to lie um
I mean we can talk about what it's for I mean one of the things that TPM is great
for is something like bit Locker uh full drivve
encryption because the TPM is it's a
pretty simple device actually it's a little cryptographic device that will
generate it's kind of like it's got a random number generator built into it
and then it stores the private key for the encryption so that that can't be um
it can't be stolen effectively it's a little kind of you could think of it as
kind of like Apple's T2 chip but way way
less sophisticated so it facilitates Hardware level encryption effectively um
it feels like it feels like to me that this should have been a a like warning
campaign type of thing where like
Microsoft tries to PL because these things they they theoretically do help
so I feel like Microsoft should have been like hey you know while you're
installing Windows 11 we highly freaking suggest that you like turn this thing on
or that you do this other thing I I or maybe they even block you and say your
computer is not ready and then they do that thing where there's like the text based Link in the corner that's like I
don't care and then you can bypass it something like that that allows people
to acknowledge that um Microsoft thinks
they should have this thing but they can just install it anyways it feels weird
that it's a requirement for OEM it's been a requirement for a long time now
no like I think a TPM uh some kind of
TPM uh implementation has been required for at least four or five years now so
it's been available to Consumers since
uh when did when was bit Locker added was that with Vista or seven but I mean
we've talked about this on Wow before there's there's skylike
systems um Sky am I referencing the
right thing hold on one sec
Locker
2007 yeah what's that yeah there's there's skyl systems that people are
still using and still like gaming on and
having a a a good old Dandy time and they probably don't have the hardware
for this even if that's like a pre-built from an oem um yeah no that's that's
true that's true and they might want to run Windows 11 and they in my opinion
should just be able to bypass it and again maybe they could do that like
Advanced user thing where the the like
way to bypass it is like hidden in some Corner that you're probably not going to
look at unless you know to look there or whatever but I think there should I
personally believe there should be some way to be like yeah whatever dude I my
computer's from 2014 or something I understand or
Beyond like I understand there might be some security problems with the fact
that my system's super ancient but so here's what I think I think that this is
the warning because Windows 11 by and
large has benefits over Windows 10 but a
lot of the under the hood ones seem to be focused on newer Hardware right like
optimizing for big little architecture CPUs for example obviously if you are
going to benefit yeah yeah touch devices
obviously if you're going to benefit from some of those newer under the hood
improvements you're going to meet the requirements for TPM 2.0 and
everything's going to be hunky dory and then if you have older Hardware I think
what Microsoft is effectively saying is no problem run Windows 10
then so that gives you I think the I think the uh end of support date is
2025 for Windows 10 which actually does
buy you another four years to upgrade so
in another four years will a sky L
system be starting to get a little long in the tooth I think that's probably
fair to say but I mean I think it sort
of already is but yeah well sort of I
mean you could definitely play very AAA
games on Skylake today 100% I mean even
going going back to Haswell ivybridge you could still be playing very very
high-end games as long as you've got a GPU that is good enough and you do a
little bit of overclocking and all of a sudden you're laughing but there are
other issues with running older Hardware they have more uh vulnerabilities that
are never going to be patched and I
think that expecting people to upgrade about every you know 10 years or so is
not entirely unreasonable especially if you consider that like today because
there was that long period of stagnation
where we just didn't see the same kind of performance improvements that we that
we used to uh you know today we kind of take for granted that a 10-year
10-year-old computer it should be fine right but can you imagine in
2005 thinking that it's okay to run a computer that was built in
1995 yeah not even remotely get real
2005 was the I think the Athlon 64 was
out uh let me have a look here there's
one one of the wack things too is like we're talking about Skylake and I think that's a very legitimate conversation
but to bring it back even further like I know people playing Modern games on
Sandy Bridge processors yeah um like
it's it's 100% 100% I don't know but
like it's it's and it ties into that stagnation thing you're talking about
Etc but like there there's people running these old computers and are
they're just still not having any problems and like no matter what the
like the hardware Community is like oh yeah these new CPUs are amazing y well
the vast majority of people aren't going to use that performance maybe you will
and that's fantastic it's really exting and that's that's cool but I can totally
understand why someone who just uses a web browser isn't going to care about
upgrading their computer so I think what's Happening Here is we are getting
the warning shot my Windows 10 is going to keep getting support till 2025 which
means that you'll realistically be able to keep using it for a little while
after that if you want to it won't be until after 2025 that the install base
will really start to dwindle and you'll start to see game developers not
supporting the OS or you'll start to see companies like NVIDIA or AMD pull driver
support so realistically you could still be running
your machine from 2015 but until 2025 2026 2027 if you
want to push it and you're willing to to roll that die in terms of security
updates and you know in the context of
going from okay Windows 95 right you
would have been running a Pentium two if you were state-of-the-art okay you were
running 266 megaherz back in
1995 in May of 2005 you were running an
Athlon 64x 2 if you were if you were
state-of-the-art okay so yes um the hardware hasn't moved
forward in that way over the last 10 years but that doesn't mean that
Computing hasn't changed that much in 10 years and that we don't need to do
something about standardizing the
platform that people are running on in some meaningful way and my Microsoft's
justification for this ultimately does kind of make sense to me even if I'm not
thrilled about it uh in a nutshell they say look this comes down to security um
Microsoft claims that PCS using a TPM
and secure boot reported 60% less malware thanks to virtualization based
security and if Microsoft wants to a lot
of attacks are in that Vector these days exactly if Microsoft wants to stay
competitive with apple and Google so
Google doesn't even have 10-year-old Hardware to deal with on Chrome OS and
then Apple just gets to deprecate things whenever it pleases them because they're
so vertically integrated and their customers will just accept it
um if Microsoft wants to do something to
move Windows security forward like as a platform as something that they can
really uh message about I actually think
that this could be a big part of the reason that Windows 11 exists at all
so yeah I don't see them backing down from this and I it's Windows there's
going to be hacky ways to do it probably
but I don't think that Microsoft is going to endorse them in any way and the
industry is going to be expected to adapt because we have you know four to
six years to kind of figure it out and
at some point Windows has to get more secure and if this is the way they've
identified to do it then Windows 11 is this clear Line in the Sand that
Microsoft is drawing that goes okay Windows 10 you know what it wasn't as
good and this is why and you can keep using it for a while but guys you will
have to upgrade even if you don't have to do it
today yeah that makes sense that does make sense most of the most of the
improvements like you're mentioning are kind of uh quality of life stuff yep
absolutely you don't have to move on from Windows 10 actually okay one thing
we don't know is whether this is a really critical feature that I'm excited
for direct storage so the GPU's ability to access your storage directly um but
then now that I think about it actually no one's going to be running PCI Express
Gen 4 and not have TPM 2.0 yep so the
whole thing the it's all wait where's that cron I need that cron GIF it's all
coming together it all makes sense now
if the if the benefits of Windows 11 are
performance benefits but that are applicable mainly to very modern systems
then it makes perfect sense to just kind of say okay well then modern systems are
going to run Windows 11 and not modern systems are going to run Windows 10 uh
and no one should really be that upset about it because you can just run
Windows 10 and you'll have a just fine experience like you have there are some
other problems uh toad G says yeah TPM
is a repair nightmare that is is super
true having having like encryption Keys
tied to the CPU in the motherboard socket is going to be a real nightmare
for people who don't practice good data
storage best practices uh because if you
just run your machine you store all of
your data right on your boot drive and you have some kind of problem you take
it into a shop they have to swap out some Hardware you could be in for an
extremely bad time there could just be
no way to access your data unless you stored your backup key somewhere that
you can actually get it it um could be
bad you know you have a water cooling leak right so you you lose a CPU and
motherboard at the same time could be very problematic I mean
I've been advocating for a long time for
people to just not store any data on their
computers but the reality of it is is I
remember back when I didn't have the kind of money to just
have an extra computer to keep all my hard drives in that wasn't that was that
was just not possible even though you can build a decent Nas for a couple
hundred doll I mean you want to talk is not is not necessarily accessible to
exactly pretty huge range of people exactly I mean that is one benefit
though of the uh of the kind of the stagnation that took place for so long
is lots of people have upgraded their computers to get better performance but
the hardware that is now orphaned is
very very usable and as long as you don't mind dealing with the extra power
consumption it is amazingly affordable
to build yourself a cheap NAS like think
about it you don't even need a GPU you don't even need anything that's in
shortage because Intel's been building in onboard graphics for over 10 years
now that's fantastic you just get an old cheap board CPU throws some crap RAM
from eBay in it and you're Off to the Races as especially if it's idling all
the time it is way less problematic in terms of power consumption compared to
if you are actually doing something heavy like you're using it for uh Plex
transcoding or something along those
lines yeah I I I wonder probably not
much but I do Wonder uh what this might do for uh Linux advocacy because a lot
of this old Hardware like we've been talking is still legit especially if
what you're doing is not heavy if you're
not gaming if you're not video editing if you're not uh doing heavy things like
that there's a wide range of the modeling Etc um if you're doing word
processing if you're browsing the web if you're if you're yeah there there's a there's
there's a lot of things you can do on your computer that isn't necessarily what a lot of this audience is doing um
and once Windows 10 uh stops being
supported it's those types of Tas tasks
are actually very easy for the average user to pick up on non-complicated Linux
dros this is interesting Gabriel Garcia
has a super chat in here one benefit of the mpec uh being coffe Lake Risen 2 is
that win 11 apps can Target extensions like avx2 directly yep that is a huge
benefit all of a sudden having this kind of clear Line in the Sand for what
developers can expect from a system that's running in OS makes it a lot
cleaner to optimize your apps yep that is you're probably going to see more and
we saw this kind of stuff and it annoyed the hell out of me with with companies
like Elgato despite them making tons of fantastic and amazing things um their
their stream deck was only supported on Windows 10 for like a super long time
when when Windows 8 Windows 7 were still very viable operating systems I think
you'll see significantly more of that with Windows 11 if if that's the case um
but yeah I think I think the low-end system game more than ever even though
it's already a bit of a thing I think the low-end system game might look a lot
more uh linxy for the next while someone
in flo plane shot said Linux will run out of potato I'm like yeah that's
that's my point kind of um exact a lot of these older systems it could be a
very fantastic answer for it it'll be it'll be interesting to see if anything
does kind of shift more than it already has in that realm the real Tech guy says
okay but like as someone who works in a computer repair shop from a customer
perspective why should I have to have an NZ that's that's a that's such a great
question so when someone comes into the shop and they go why should I have to
have a NZ the answer is you shouldn't
but then if you want the simpler the simple easy magic bullet then what you
need to do is you just need to pay for your one drive or your Google Drive
subscription and you need to practice good data management and you need to
make sure that everything is backed up there that's the answer so are they
trying to sell one drive Subs what no no no no no I just mean that no no no no
I'm not saying you I'm saying are they no no I'm that's my answer that's my
answer if you don't want to worry about oh oh oh I see what you mean so that
that is the answer though so if you have heavy data requirements the answer is
you need to make sure that everything is on a Nas and all your machines are doing
regular nightly backups and if you don't have heavy data requirements the answer
is cloud storage has gotten so affordable I mean
uh uh the the the sponsor that we work with all the time the 45 drives builds
their builds their storage box back blaz back Blaze yeah back Blaze it's super
affordable to back things up to the cloud these days there's just no excuse
anymore so from a tech Shop's perspective the answer is educating your
customers about what their options are to ensure that they're not going to lose
their data it's it's and if they if they
don't think it's important because I used to I used to work in tech shop and lots of people would be like I don't
need data back up I don't care about my stuff uh I always bring up the the
wedding and baby pictures argument um because then they're like oh
wait I can't lose those I'm like yeah where are you storing them yeah it's
like okay well maybe you should consider
something like what if you if you don't want to put that stuff in the cloud
there's some things you might not want in the cloud no matter what you can do
local storage with the the three things where you have like on on the device on
a similar device
you can do if it and if you can maintain
it or you can just go with the cloud whatever but you should have more than one copy of your data yeah absolutely I
you know what was uh what was the eure moment for me when I when I learned that
my data needed to be backed rated and backed up when I learned how a
um when I learned how a hard drive
works that was the moment for me because
it seems wild right it's nuts okay like
if you've ever actually seen the read and write head right if you've seen it
move back and forth over the spinning disc okay at 7200 RPM I remember I
remember someone from Western Digital explaining this to me once they're like
yeah at the outer edge of the spinning disc um you know keeping that head
stable it's a real it's a real engineering challenge because
effectively it's ripping around in Hurricane force winds and I'm
like what we we hold on a second my
precious memories are on this thing excuse me I need to go for a minute
and yeah it's crazy and the fact that they like basically never fail unless
you drop them is is pretty nuts as well I don't know obviously they do but like
I have hard DED been running for a decade basically it's unbelievable it's
nuts um but but yeah back up your data
even if you think you don't care now um to maybe some of the younger audience I
would say there's stupid stuff I had this amazing wallpaper once it was like
a really great ultrawide wallpaper it had like uh it had like a horse and cart
or something and it was like labeled with like console stuff and then there
was some faster thing and it was PC or something it was this really cool
cartoon style remember yeah I had it on my desktop at uh at the old office the
old Langley house and I I don't know I just like I've tried to find it again
and I can't find it and I'm like oh that sucks I wish I had I wish I'd put it
somewhere because having everything
instantly available at your fingertips has been great in a lot of ways right
like everything's a quick Google search away except for things that are gone
because the internet internet has gotten so big and so broad that it's so easy
now for things to disappear forever there's this great Flash game I used to
play called Pearl Harbor where you're this you're this plane and you go back
and forth back and forth every time you get to the end of the scene it just kind of turns around and you're fighting
something I don't I don't remember exactly how it played anymore because
one day it disappeared and you can't play it anymore it's that experience is
completely gone there's that whole saying like the internet remembers and
it's like yeah unless it doesn't and and
in in in a lot of cases it does but in a lot of cases due to the sheer size of
the internet it doesn't it's just to sit
will go down and all your stuff's just
gone um so back it up I know a lot of
the kids watching uh aren't going to take this to heart because I I sure
didn't but the memories that you have and like the photos and stuff that you
have now um back them up you'll care later you may not care now you'll care
later I have lost a big chunk of photos
once it was really hard it was really
rough yep uh yeah people in Floatplane chat
are talking about their are talking about their bad experiences losing data
um Neo Cortez says then your house burns down is burgled or flooded so there are
solutions to these things um I have a fireproof Nas at my house that I
actually use for ex extremely important things uh I can't fit everything on it
because it's just a two hard drive Nas so it's just two drives in raid one but
you should absolutely have uh some kind
of contingency also conveniently I have a super fast internet connection both at
home and at the office and I have keys to the server room so I can put things
at the office if I really want to ha but
off off conent or off like General geographic area is also a very good idea
like if if you if you're planning on backing up data and it's not in the cloud it's that that three stages thing
at a minimum is very important and raid
doesn't count it it should be raided but raid does not count I I am surprised
that there isn't um kind of like an open
source super easy to use Community Based
like hey uh you know I'll show you my
data if you show me yours kind of backup app I've been pushing the unraid guys to
build this forever like unraid friends or something like
that where what I want is fairly straightforward just built right into
the OS I can friend someone effectively
and we can allocate uh a we can we can
cross allocate a shared uh storage space
to each other and then it will effectively just take whatever I want to
put in my in my off-site important
folder or I'll flag certain folders as
as key folders it'll synchronize them to my friend's server and store an
encrypted copy locally on their server and then I can effectively take some of
my storage and give them the same thing now you can set up stuff like this you
can do it manually but I think it's the kind of thing I've told them for years
now I think it's the kind of thing that could really set their software apart
you can do it I what's that I I would
get Evangelical about that I I and I know obviously yeah you can do this
yourself and quite a few people do but some of the the you got to consider like
if if you are the tech person in this like manual setup you now have to
maintain this for as many people as you you enter into that agreement ex exactly
and I would love like to have this I would I would love to just like
basically sell little boxes um that I'm obviously not making money on but sell
little boxes to like my whole family and just be like okay we're creating a
friend storage pool on unraid it works
update it every once in a while see you later um like that would be that would
be great I know I i' I'd go nuts with
that but I'd try to get basically everyone I knew because like it's it it
really sucks being the tech person for your group of people and then having
someone be like oh I my laptop got wet
or something I lost all my wedding photos and it's like yeah I told you to
do backups for that and you didn't because I guess it was complicated or
whatever and it would be great if like there was just some yeah I don't know I
would like that yeah I'd be unraid homies with you yeah for sure for sure
and like I would like in a minute yeah I would just throw like a giant unraid box
at the office and everyone could just have their encrypted data on there I've
got some people saying like hey you know what about if someone got busted with
illegal content sure
but it's it's encrypted so whatever illegal content
they have you gotta you got to imagine think of it kind of like if um you know
someone put child pornography in their Dropbox Dropbox is not in possession of
the child pornography that is encrypted data that they can't even read um
ultimately whoever put it there is the one who would be in trouble in that case
so there there should be no reason from like a a personal a criminal liability
standpoint that it would matter I would also think though that you'd want you'd
want your unrated homies to be people you you know and mostly trust anyway but
friend raid coming soon to LT store says jamer jamer person yeah exology has that
feature the last time that I tried to mess with it it wasn't exactly what Lon
is saying it can be done it's cludy
andology naz's are well their sonology
there it's not crossplatform so what I want is a way to just do it on something
that runs on cheap commodity Hardware
yeah yeah because you like I just gave the that probably I probably put that
person down that path because I said I would just sell my family these little boxes but um that's that's not
particularly what I mean like my my brother's pretty techy my dad's pretty
techy Etc um they would probably just want to use some old computer hardware
that they had laying around and connect some drives to it like it's they
wouldn't want to buy a new sonology n like yeah it's it's different yeah uh
people are saying try explaining that to a judge I don't have to explain that to
a judge you guys don't think this has ever come up like come on guys you gotta you gotta
use come many you got to use your common sense here all
right cool all right uh why don't we uh why don't we
talk to our sponsors and then I'll be showing you guys some pictures of my new
Diggs I'm pretty excited that I have never seen let's do it that Luke has
never seen the show is brought to you today by build
Redux I need to scroll down to the whole
thing here ah there you go Redux is a PC Builder striving to bring PC gaming to
the masses they have no markup on the parts just a $75 build fee so you pick
your budget pick your games see how they're going to perform and let Redux
build your PC for you you can customize what's going inside based on the games
you want to play and Redux gives you a 2-year warranty on parts and labor so
don't wait start your build today at build ru.com
minus finally the show is brought to you by Ridge wallet stop carrying around
pointless items in your pocket just carry your Ridge wallet it doesn't fit
too many cards but that's exact L the point you don't want to have a bunch of
pointless cards and everything is still easily accessible you just press on the
side and boom all of your cards come out it uses two metal plates that are bound
by a strong elastic band to keep them held tightly together and it's RFID
blocking so well the RFID is blocked
they offer a lifetime guarantee it's available in aluminum carbon fiber and titanium and they don't just sell
wallets they've got battery Banks bags smartphone covers and more so use offer
code when to get 10% off on everything on ridge.com
slw all right so this is it this is it
the new digs uh here we go should we
start with um like the main floor I guess you know what my favorite part of
this is going to be uh the part where you've never seen it before also that I
can't see them oh well that's a little
awkward uh all right well there it is I will bring up the stream but it will be
it will be very delayed but yeah all right yep that that makes sense so
that's the stairwell the uh the style is a little a
little um over the top for for
us um like it's super nice but in like a
kind of oldfashioned kind of way um so that's
pretty cool but I Will's the thing where
like when when it's when it's decorated done up by the person that currently
lives there like people anyone who's like Sho for apartments or done anything
like that um they'll know like it's your
own flare on things is going to change the place a lot yeah but that fireplace
though I get a kick out of this picture frame so you've got the picture you got
the frame around it you got the light that shines down on the picture and then
you've got another trim that goes around the picture and I'm kind of sitting here
going I don't own a single piece of
art um what do I do what do I put there I
have no idea there's all this there's all this like wiring in these walls um
that just I don't want a light there
what would I do with a light there you could put your uh your your it's not
your wedding photo um
the one with you and Aon on the thing oh the honeymoon photo yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah I could I could put that there
um I know you yeah I don't know man uh
here's out of the things that you have that's the only thing I can think of
yeah here's a shot of the kitchen um so we're probably going to
refinish the floors they are solid wood floors which is super cool uh would be
extremely wasteful to take them out so I think we don't like the color so I think
what we're going to do is we're going to sand them down and refinish them
something a little bit cooler a little bit um yeah a little bit less a little
bit lighter lighter maybe a little bit cooler uh we're pretty pretty overall
happy the kitchen looks pretty amazing so many people are telling me to put a
TV above the fireplace guys are you doing that to trigger me is that why
you're asking me to put a TV above my fireplace it's the worst I refuse I
absolutely refuse oh man brass Caribou over on float plan says I'm liking that
kitchen desk um okay so that's not
called a kitchen desk um that space is
designed for you to take phone calls and write down messages and stuff yeah
remember that kitchen desk there's so so many
things about this place are so like 1995
baller 90s yeah super baller 90s because
everyone had bones right and and you would often someone would call your
resident and not be able to call a specific person so it was very often
they would get the wrong person it would be very often that that person would not be available at that time so you would
want that like desk so you could like take call notes notes um um I think it
was built in '92 so that should give you some idea of
the era of things unfortunately that means there's no network wiring
whatsoever but hey at least they've got this fantastic built-in uh bookcase unit
with this wonderful TV spot here that
you can tell is totally the shape of modern TVs so that's really
convenient absolutely fantastic yeah it
is CRT tastic and then over here um this
spot right here is a built-in CD storage
unit by the way uh another very very
specific art location I know right I just don't know
what to do with that stuff it's
just ah it actually has more than two
fireplaces there is a uh there's at
least one more I can't remember how many more there are CU I think we're putting
in one more um let's see that's so
that's it for the main floor if you guys are bored of this I can definitely stop
showing you house pictures but uh if you are not bored of it I would be happy to
show you a little bit more of it there's a good look at the downstairs here I'm
just making sure we can't see outside yep there we go there's a good shot of
the downstairs so there's a foosball table there this is funny apparently
this closet is specifically a little bit
taller than a normal closet so that you can tuck your folding pingpong table
into it that is apparently a thing
forgot about that that's actually amazing oh my goodness dude so that's
pretty great there is an unfinished basement so man most of the basement is
unfinished we're going to turn this area where the ping pong table is here into a
theater room uh this area here is going
to be like a a a gaming area for me and
my kids and my wife I'm probably going to try to cram five PCS in here I don't
know if it'll fly so there will be at least three for the kids and then my
wife and I might have our machines upstairs in the office over here is
going to be so cool to have a five person land area though like I I hear
you I understand but but oh it's not as
big as it looks this is a wide angle shot least four at least four though
because then you could do left for dead
oh yeah okay I'll do my best I'll do my
best okay it is not as big as it looks
at all that place is also pretty yeah someone could come over with like a
laptop and you could just do like a temporary table yep for sure for sure
and there will be a second uh or there will be at least one other gaming
machine or there'll be at least two other gaming machines in the basement so
there will be one in the media room obviously and then there will be a VR
space that's over where that foosball table was um that will also have a TV on
the wall and will obviously also be gaming capable if it's going to be where
my VR setup's going to be right so
I'm there's going to be a lot of content coming over the next little bit here
guys cuz the place is is going to need a
real Tech makeover I don't think I'm going to do all of the stuff myself this
time though I spent I mean it took me 10 years to get my current house to the
state where I'm really happy with the technology situation with my server
closet with my Wi-Fi access points everywhere I need them to be
everything's Hardline cat 6A like this
place is perfect I've got all of my uh
stations my lighthouses for my VR and the living room uh all wired up through
the ceiling so none of the cables are running down the wall or anything like that but it took
me it's not often I get home at the end of the day after work and I feel like
crawling around in my crawl space you know what I mean like I I think I'm yeah
I think I'm G to let a professional come in and do the cat 6A this time instead
of doing it myself um yeah I a bunch of people in
flow plane chat were asking for moving Vlogs I I can I guess you can speak to
this I don't suspect there will be moving blogs but but like what you just
said I'm sure there will be like Tech upgrade there there will be content
around the the house anyways so the uh people are asking to see the mechanical
room so like the the boiler and furnace and stuff so uh it doesn't have a
furnace it has INF floor uh radiant heat which is sweet and get this I don't even
have to hire someone to do the check of it because Jake got Fleer to send us
that like $3,000 thermal camera so I'm
just do it myself so you just turn the heat up across the whole house and then
you just walk around with your thermal camera and make sure that there's no dead spots pretty cool uh anyway here's
the the mechanical room is crazy it's
huge this room really is as big as it looks and the reason for it is that they
had intended to put in a pool and they never did it and they had wanted all the
pool equipment in this room and it never
went in so uh it doesn't have a continuous heater like we put in our
current house but it does have two hot water
tanks so you should basically never run out which I thought was pretty funny
that is a very um 90s continuous heaters
don't exist yet or they are too expensive solution to that and there is
absolutely no Ethernet in this place
whatsoever so I'm going to need that uh
T says fiber is available to the address though so that's good
someone in chat uh said where's Luke's room and then someone responded this
looks like Luke's room nice I it here
this can be this can be Luke's room JK this is the master bedroom pretty simple
you know a lot of the places we went and looked at had crazy master bedrooms like
there's this sitting area in it and like
I'm kind of sitting here going who sits in their bedroom like that is so weird
or they would have like a balcony that opens out in front of the house I'm I'm
sitting here going they'd have like a and it would be staged by the realtor or
whatever and they would have a little they'd have like a little table for
sitting and having tea or I'm sitting here going who would do that room yeah
why would you do that in your room unless you have like literally a servant
but like that's you know cuz it's always
it's always places um where you would see this stuff that are enormous right
and have a gorgeous backyard and patio so I'm sitting here going why on Earth
sitting on the front of the top of the front of my house when I could just be
in my backyard where I have privacy obviously I would like to
observe the cesac or wherever it is yeah or whatever so I need to I need to
observe every car that drives down my street perfectly
um I think that's pretty much it for the
pictures that I can show without showing any of the exterior and that's my goal
is to not show the exterior of this house at all um something that we
something that we did to make things a little bit um more challenging is a
thing I'm just actually not going to talk about just to make my life my life
easier so I get to go pick up the keys in 20 minutes which means we better get
through some more Tech topics otherwise we're g to have had a one topic show so
thanks for thanks for looking at house pictures oh people are asking all kinds
of things here uh it's so obvious you
don't have servants says Noob Master 96
um yes I do not have
servants yes it has air conditioning I actually like the air conditioning at my
current place better not just because I I did it um but because it's uh it's
room by room at our current place because we did it with mini splits
whereas at the new place it's just one big unit so you're gonna you're G to
have rooms that are hotter and you're going to have rooms that are not as hot
and that just is kind of annoying um someone says looks like the
roof needs to be redone uh the roof does need to be redone it's going to cost
like a hundred grand or something like that we're putting we're putting in
solar though and stuff so cool there's a
reason we're going like super sustainable like forever are you getting
Tower walls um I don't think power wall
is here yet there their solar roofing stuff isn't here yet so I don't know I
haven't actually looked into that yeah Tech topic Tech topic or are
we still doing house questions um yeah let's do a tech topic
for sure heck yeah former Microsoft employee stole 10 million dollar in in
Xbox gift cards amazing I'm gonna
butcher this name but I'm G to try Vladimir kashik was working at
Microsoft's Redmond office testing e-commerce infrastructure i6
six-year-old I don't know why this matters uh he quickly discovered a flaw
in the system uh that he then exploited he did not report it he exploited it he
started small uh he he started off
with10 to $100 codes um he didn't
generate really all that many but he was he was scalping them he was selling them
two years later only two years later uh
he had generated over 152,000 gift codes at a valuation of
$10.1 million he flipped those cards uh
for Bitcoin and then fli that Bitcoin for cash and was very quickly living on
a seven figure Lakefront home
um I don't know how you could possibly
think you weren't going to get caught for that um mean oh man but I suspect
just like after a while of not getting caught he just thinks he's invincible
and then buys a seven figure Lakefront home I guess so I mean huis Inon that is
some classic hubris nine years in prison for gift card theft
I mean it was1 million of gift card
theft he effectively stole $1 million yeah that is crazy apparently he was
responsible um I don't see where this is yeah he he flipped so many cards 152,000
cards that were just generated of thin air right so he was responsible for
Global fluctuations in the price of Xbox gift cards on reseller markets because
he flooded them so hard
holy absolutely crazy that's nuts that
is unfreaking real man oh what can you do about it though
right uh yeah I mean the second it goes
into Bitcoin it's it's uh it's a little difficult to track I do wonder how
exactly he was caught um I don't know if
like one of his uh fellow employees comes and visits his home and is like
how'd you get this but yeah pretty
crazy pretty
crazy all right I am getting a call from
the wife so I think I'm going to have to go pretty soon but why don't we try and
get through a couple more topics here uh Intel and apple are going to be the
first to get 3 nanometer from tsmc uh
they are both lined up as the first customers for the new process which will
be referred to as N3 and will be deployed in late 2022 it'll offer a 10
to 15% performance increase at the same power and transistor count a 30% power
reduction at the same clocks and complexity as well as 70 and 20% gains
in logic density and SRAM density respectively according to an a report
both companies are already testing their chip designs that are being produced
using the N3 process and it also States Intel is apparently preparing at least
two products to be made with the process one for notebooks and one for servers
it's possible these will only be more Niche products as opposed to in tells
mainstream consumer products but only time will tell Apple will be using uh N3
on an so in late 2022 or early 2023 in
the iPad and apparently that will be a new processor uh versus the current M1
which kind of makes sense because M1 will have had well it'll be two years at
least two years old by that time we know that Intel will be Outsourcing some adom
and zeeon based so's to tsmc so it's a safe bet that these are among those
products fascinating I have one more quick thing
to announce on LT
store we have a new
product oh yeah reflective heat SN shirt
is here ladies and gentlemen look at this fantastic
modeling team we've got that's right it's reflective has a reflective LTT
logo on the back look at this guy look at this girl look at this guy look at
this other guy hey and you can get them now for $19.99 also we have brought back
mystery shirts they're $12.99 and they're a
mystery a lot of them are going to be older and less popular ones or ones that
are we only had Oddball sizes left and good stuff like that so hey there you go
they're a mystery but they're cheaper and I think that's pretty much it for
the show I think I got to go ladies and gentlemen so I'll just do a couple of
super chats here oh my goodness there there's quite
a few but at least I managed to click the tab so they didn't all go away um
Adrien Frick recommends a game the messenger not looking for more games
right now though I got a bunch of them got a bunch of them last week uh thanks
Bob Costco anyone else notice uh little
lonus and Luke's beards disappear going from the intro to the sponsor uh yes
that's because the sponsor things are older uh Michael says thanks for all the
content love watching the videos hey awesome uh Robert says Windows 11 system
requirements are a mess hard to keep up with the leaks and discussions and their
own tool is still not for users yeah 100% uh the good news is that it's not
actually launched yet so they've got time to get this stuff figured out yeah
uh Hunter says the TPM 2.0 requirement is going to put a strain on schools I
can tell you for a fact my district can't afford SL doesn't want to pay for
new positions um yeah that's actually a
really really good point they do have quite a quite a few years um but I do
know that a lot of schools try to stay on the most modern operating system at
the very least so that that will make that tough Toc says live streams don't
work in the Floatplane app I built for web OS TVs I'm going to fix it and test
next week sweet a web OS app that's
pretty cool that's very cool yeah I'm an lgtv uh guy myself so unfortunately most
of the time anyone's live streaming on Floatplane it's me so there's no point
in me watching it on my web osv but that's fantastic
um with that I think you probably have to go uh yes let me just see if there's I
know you're going to want to get sucked into that I'm just trying to Christian says look into smart vents they open and
close based on room temperature yeah I've heard some of them aren't very good
though so I'll have to have a look at that um and lion says if you reach out
to Elon Musk I bet you could get not only their solar roof but also the power
wall uh I don't know I I kind of doubt it I don't we're not exactly on a first
name basis I I don't think he cares um
uh Josh says Hey a couple of w shows ago
you read a super chat I sent I didn't really expect you to read it let alone
genuinely take it seriously it made my day so thanks for that hey you're welcome Josh all right thanks everyone
we'll see you again next week same bad time same bad Channel
bye oops uh oh whoops I need the there
we go
