so today i don't think i could handle it right
now oh okay i have had a fairly terrible
last couple of days um i i have been fighting with my my tape
drive backup thing that basically doesn't work on the pc properly and
the guys that make it are like yeah the truth of the matter is that the driver
situation from ibm on down just isn't that great on the pc and it works better
on a mac so then i've been trying to get a mac working with 10 gigabit and so i
was using the macbook pro and 10 gigabit lan to be clear so i was using the
macbook pro and i ran into uh bro remember when i
called you earlier this week yeah asking if you had the corex yeah yeah so so i
so so i managed to have uh um
three external pci express docs
four 10 gigabit network cards a variety
of cables and i still couldn't manage to get like
i even got down to the point where i had a Thunderbolt chipset that apple hadn't
specifically locked out because we don't want to support it yeah i managed to
find one that didn't have a Thunderbolt chip that was locked out so the
enclosure worked on the mac and i even managed to get
a 10 gig Ethernet card with the exact same chipset that is already in use in
the imac pro but that still doesn't work because
there's some stupid beta of macOS that you have to like update from an older
one too and then it will flash cards that are not like
mac approved to be mac approved and then
they just work because because the drivers are for the hardware not for
like the stupid vendor id that actually doesn't matter but with apple it's just
Anthony's way of putting it i think is great it's magic numbers
it's not about whether it should actually work or not it's about making
sure it has the right magic number that's actually one of his theories
about the uh the whole throttling issue with the macbook pro did you see this
you hear about this the big thermal throttle i know yeah yeah yeah and apple
fixes it with a macOS update that they
said was firmware but doesn't seem to be firmware because it doesn't fix it in
Windows yeah so
so it must just be like a magic number like a magic magic number detects the
CPU correctly now no it doesn't behave stupidly oh good yeah
thank goodness for a genuine apple approved hardware and nothing else
working at all you want to hear my great story
and then and then i've spent the last four hours dealing
with this do you think it's gonna be done by the underwent i i hope so it's at 84 percent
and that's like 54 when i said third reboot now so i think we're i think
we're getting close i may duck out of when and just finish that this is the
last thing i'm waiting for i just want to run
cinebench sorry sorry everyone i'm just i'm having
a rough day i just want to run cinebench and i can't if Windows update is sucking
back 25 of the CPU in the background right i just want to know how much
faster it is than last gen and i was thinking maybe i'd compare it to the
surface go since that arrived today tried to live stream the surface go
turns out another video project we're working on which is really cool by the
way basically we're given the we're given the this to google
but in a way that's like not just to spite them it's just
we are abusing their services oh yeah i know in a way that's really
cool well it turns out we're also abusing
fully within the terms abusing the CPU of our router
oh yeah so it looks like that
killed our stream earlier we where we literally
oh like overloaded our router CPU and
remember this is not some this isn't some wimpy bs it's a rack mounted rope
yeah this isn't this is an edge router pro from ubiquity oh okay like it's not
some hundred thousand dollar stupid like cisco thing or anything like that but
it is not an insubstantial piece of
networking machinery um
i love this i love this you sit and wait for hours for it and then it's got this
very friendly just hold on for a second we've got some updates for your pc no no
you had updates for my pc four hours ago this might take several minutes yeah
at this point what dennis
you want to hear my story i need you here from my story so i want to get out before we're done should we do the intro
first sure okay let's just whatever there's tech news we're gonna talk about
some stuff next gen Intel road map leaks also google oh my goodness search engine
there's rumors about apple's worth a trillion dollars boom crazy
people are hating on the ubiquity
haters it's one of those technology categories
where it's just entirely responsible yeah it's greater greater than greater
than it's greater than greater than oh
because you've got Linux fanboys in the mix too no that's freebsd yeah whatever
you know what i mean um actually
oh gosh anyways okay so did you remember at the end of last stream how i revealed how i
i finally bought a new chair yeah oh what now
so the story of my chair is someone sat
on the ARM and it broke the like middle support so
basically my chair was tilted like this for four years in defense of your chair
that someone was very likely to break that chair yes yep yep in fairness to
your chair yep i mean but to like to compensate so i was
looking straight at my monitor i basically sat like this for four years
and then recently went to physio and he was like wow you
need a new chair you're an idiot so i decided to get a new chair did a whole
bunch of research took like a month over a month for the chair to show up it's
supposed to like keep you in a specific spot so that your spine is like
correctly aligned it's not supposed to be super comfortable it's
supposed to keep you in the right spot right it's kind of like a racing chair
except not for a car so it actually makes sense
for going fast on your computer yeah
anyways the expected ends up the expected delivery date was
uh august 6th you might notice it is not that day yet
i have had the chair for a while um on
i believe the 31st of the 30th i don't remember if it was this monday or this
tuesday i went out to get some lunch i had finished a relatively major
milestone you know i was like you know what i'm gonna i'm gonna reward myself
with a booster juice so i decided to go outside and get some boosters as i'm
walking out yeah it is not that cheap cost as much as a meal but then you have
to like four dollars yeah yeah i don't get them that often but i was like yeah
yeah i'm gonna this is this is good i was very more than four dollars i was very happy anyway carry on so i
i go walk outside as i'm walking outside i was like whoa there's a giant
cardboard box in the lawn that's weird and i just keep walking and then i'm
like i should probably like bring that inside just in case it's like my
upstairs neighbors and i go and i look at it closer and i see herman miller
plastered on the side of it and i'm like what they just left it on the lawn they
just left it on the lawn no notification text message no
notification email i had no idea i still
have no idea how long it was sitting there when i moved it there was very
much an impression in the grass so it had been sitting there for a while
possibly all night because sometimes i don't leave my house for a while
so i have no clue how long it was there
super expensive chair big logo on the side of the box just left in the front
lawn for who knows how long no notification that was there nothing they
didn't knock they didn't even notice they didn't nothing happened so i'm
immediately pissed off i i i bring it inside i go get my food i
come back i go to open it first of all there's like it's the worst cardboard
box as the outer shell that i've like ever seen and there's there's like rips where
the handles were because the guy's handling it and like i don't even blame them because if you try to pick it up it
just rips because it's just a terrible cardboard box right but i'm thinking in my head like oh it's there'll be an in
internal carton right no big deal i open that up nope not only is there no
internal carton that is literally the entire box for the chair there's also
zero packing foam or protection of any form at all in the entire box so it's
just the chair just sitting this rattling i was able to turn it around
while it was inside the box just because i wanted to kind of try it out and see
how it goes like it was actually the worst unboxing
experience that i have ever had that same day i like opened up a box for
a mouse and was like wow this is a way better experience than the ludicrously
obscenely illogically expensive chair that i just
bought i was so mad it's
fine it like creaks when you move around
it's mostly made out of plastic like it's it's really
like the ergonomic chair market is insane like it's if we want to open
another business we should just make ergonomic chairs because you can just
charge a billion percent on what it costs to make it yeah and everyone's
just clamoring all over you because they're all generally terrible it also
doesn't really feel that great like it's it's okay right but it's not
that's yeah okay so yes that seems like a really smart sale oh it's a brilliant
sales pitch it doesn't have to feel good it's ergonomic uh so it holds me in a
relatively good position so i'm probably going to end up keeping it because it'll
be good for my spine okay sounds good uh
the dr dude says i like really need to do something about that because my
spine's getting all weird because i sit like this all the time so yeah sounds
good okay let's do it up this all the time yeah like
so okay i'm probably gonna keep it except like the the base isn't foam
which is kind of cool because it's breathable but they use these plasticy
spring things and that's great in most areas except for where the reinforced
bar is right and you can like super feel this bar that is just under you all the time
have you tried the om-5 is this the uh we had like an orangey
one yeah we did a review of it so my problem with that was it didn't lock
the new one locks oh i might try that i can return my
chair uh you know what you should come over maybe come over in uh oh holy crap they
have me quoted on their website i should make sure what they're saying isn't like
Linus of Linus tech tips says the om5 is the most comfortable chair they probably
could have put some context around that i'm sure i did let's have a look
do they link right to the timestamp don't think so
i bet they do i bet they do no oh
nope all right well thanks for that guys yeah i'm sure i probably said that i've
tried something return it in what box someone said in the chat sorry to cut
you off i actually thought about this if i return the chair i'm wondering like
like if it shows up damaged is it my fault i have all of the original packaging
because it's a box so like there's really not a lot going on there
like but like who who gets in trouble if the chair is damaged when it when it
shows up anyway you should you should try um wait
oh actually i know i don't know if the whole thing locks but the ARM the armrest is locked like there's stuff
they've done so my problem was if i sat back at all yeah i would just
fall backwards so Yvonne has new ones
all right has one of the new ones okay so you i mean give it a shot just to
make sure because i'll try it one of my biggest problems with buying these
ludicrously expensive chairs yeah as well this one's not that bad it's 450
bucks that's way freaking better um is like you can't generally try them
anywhere yeah no not in canada if you're
in like la you can often go to a studio area and try them out but like i can so
i had to go off of like a whole bunch just like and buying anything like
clothing clothing or ergonomic food or
chairs like stuff that has a personal taste like a personalization element to
it online is really tough stuff yeah um like uh Yvonne ordered some flip-flops
off amazon and she just like they were cheaper than buying in store so that's
cool so she ordered two of them yeah just assuming that one of them would be
a horrible fit because because that's just the way it works and until we can
until we can 3d scan our foot and
submit that model off to something to to make sure something's going to fit for
us so there's nothing we can really do but i mean i'm actually perfectly fine
with them having that quote on there because it's still the most comfortable chair that i have and that i've tried um
i really like it so i don't know yeah i and like see people
are people are recommending stuff in here the problem is that it doesn't it
doesn't mean anything to me because i can't try it yeah the only reason that
i'm even bringing it up is because i have the newest one
at my house and you can come try it and like the only reason why i got the chair
that i have now is because marquez has it
yeah frank has it and i tried it at severus's streaming area
because it's his chair so i don't want this to come across wrong but i wouldn't
necessarily buy something because um
like here let's just pick one of them like let's say because marquez no i sat
down he bought a tesla surfboard that's a good point not because it's a good
surfboard because he's like he's a very like
he's he's very on point with like whatever
the coolest thing so the last point was the important one was semitis has the
same chair and i sat in it for a while right and was like okay this is holding
me in the right spot and it's the same reason why he has it he's a tall dude i
believe he's slightly taller than i am and it can hold his spine in place
all right so sorry to hear that
anyway that was just yeah it was just horrible it was weird because i i opened
opened a logitech mouse yeah and a herman miller chair right and i expected
like i expected the logitech mouse unboxing experience to be quite good it
exceeded expectations i expected the herman miller chair unboxing to be way
too much and for me to be like this is dumb i wish they didn't do so much
packaging because i could have saved some money and then it was like wow i
literally don't think they could have gotten it to me if i saved any amount of
money on the packaging because it wouldn't have made it or it would have been like some dude just like handing me
the chair because he had to like walk it from the truck rolling it yeah yeah like
rolling it here you go bud i've got it for you we're back we're
back in the back we're backing it up
so so so annoying give it some time and maybe logitech will just acquire herman
miller and then you won't have to worry about it just like we acquired our first
topic blue yeah logitech has acquired microphone
brand blue but don't be blue
um i don't know you might want to be blue about it
honestly there's not going to be much in terms of changes as far as we can tell
from logitech's blog post anyway so well okay i will also give them the
benefit of the doubt in the way that they have not made very noticeable very
large scale alterations to any other companies yeah like ultimate ears oh
hold on a second there have been there's been some
frustration with harmony harmony harmony remotes yeah
oh that's old though isn't it yeah but that doesn't mean that people didn't get
kind of bone no i hear you but they might have learned
from that we can help they haven't made it as far
as we can tell they haven't made a lot of changes to ultimate ears it seems
like this is kind of the thing right now though is
your your corsairs your razors and your logitechs of the world are just
scooping up any brand that kind of matters in the peripheral space like i
think we are we're so we're we're on this weird trajectory right now where
over the last i'd say five so so going back maybe a
year or two years ago and then five years before that we saw this incredible
burst in diversification in the peripheral space yeah so we went from
you know like every single person was making some form of keyboard yeah like
mechanical keyboards are a great example you had what like filco
ducky i mean do you remember when das keyboard mattered leopold yeah
so you had a handful of guys making mechanical keyboards and then you had
some more traditional brands that dabbled like steel series had one
mechanical or two okay the 6g and the 7g um and then all of a sudden
you walked around a show like ces or computex and you could find
literally 50 brands so it's something
keyboards gas is still relevant
to you oh um i'd like to ask you about remember
relevant is uh is a is a uh so they're
still relevant but they're not mainstream yeah they can be as relevant as they
want to a very small number of people
yeah but when you look at the definition of the word relevant
it's it's relative so
so they were more relevant before yeah they were in relative terms much more
relevant than they are now when you've got brands like Corsair
who you know for whom the the the monthly
sales of someone like das keyboard would be a rounding error like that would be
that that would be the samples they send out to to media when they launch a new
keyboard to make sure that everyone and their dog has tried the latest and
greatest Corsair and hopefully it's it's sitting in in places yeah exactly um so
so there's just there's this sort of relativity to to relevantness
relevantness relevantity i don't know i'm trying
which brings us to our first sponsor for the show today i mean it was just such a
perfect segue i kind of had to do it hey
corsairs strafe mark ii keyboard which
you can learn more about at the link right there it's a mechanical RGB
keyboard and is an update from the previous fan favorite strafe now with all the
features you've been asking for well not all the features you've been
asking for if you as me because i'm a big fan of cherry mx browns but it comes
in either cherry mx red or cherry mx silent switches with the reds offerings
linear smooth actuation while the silence dampens sound by 30 which is
great for users who stream that's actually a big deal keyboard noise so
cherry mx silent definitely recommended for that it's got 100 anti-ghosting with
104 key rollover meaning even if you type with your face all of your
keystrokes will be registered thank you luke for that demonstration it's got
eight mags of built-in storage to allow you to take all your RGB configurations and macro customization with you
anywhere you go and the top of the keyboard has a built-in
usb passthrough which i actually love that's a great feature that kind of
disappeared for a bit in the keyboard world and then is is back now apparently
which is terrific so check it out at Corsair.com or the link in the video
description oh i said the link was there but it's not it will be it will be below
the video Corsair.com that's okay simple solution speaking of a simple solution

today all right shall we do some tech news
news about tech sure next gen NVIDIA gtx the name has
apparently been settled
down let's go ahead and share my screen wow
i'm so surprised it'll be 20 80 and 20
70. that's kind of stupid i was expecting 1180 and 1170 we're
gonna win the day but i guess NVIDIA's kind of going well the rate at which we
release new generations of graphics cards
has significantly slowed down so in order for us to keep having numbers go
up at a nice you know nice good tick here we're we're
gonna have to chill out on the just increasing the second digit kind of
thing yeah um i think the first two by one going with
like if you if you increase the first digit
instead of this the way are we reading from the fourth digit
so we had the 780 and then we skipped 800 series because i don't know it's
unlucky or something who knows and then we had the 9 series and then we had the
10 series and now we get the 20. so when we so we when we go 30 40 50 60
70 80 90. do we get the 100 series yes
but then do we get the 200 series and then are we back to the 200 series
that's going to be confusing so in another like 20 years or so NVIDIA is
going to have to watch out for that train coming down the tracks
pretty slowly and won't happen for a while but that
could happen eventually um well because we had a 200 series
already but that was a three digit 200 series this would be the 200 and
280 series
the 2000 gtx 2080 you think they might
just end up almost dumping that version
and go like gtx like alpha one oh and like alpha two or they
could go straight to 300 because we never had a 300 series
oh yeah we're not i don't know
anyway manly technologies uh an NVIDIA
800 series was used in like mobile and stuff yes like oem only or some stupid
thing yeah uh manly technologies a vendor for NVIDIA GeForce gpus just
registered an ecc certificate with the name gtx 2070 and 2080 included in the
mix the GPU chips also contain ga104
and ga104 400
both of which should be ampere-based going by the code name so if you guys i
don't know if you guys ever noticed this but the second letter of an NVIDIA code
name is the architecture so gp would be GeForce pascal and then gf would be
g-force fermi so ga should be g-force ampere 104 means that once again we are
getting not a big chip yeah so 102 or
100 would be big chips um oh i forget
how it works uh what's the thing when when they had
to spin it twice i can't remember what was uh what was 580 gtx 580 they had to
spin it twice yeah so
gf-110 crap i can't remember i can't remember i
can't remember but there's there's one aspect of the code name that tells you
if they had to uh uh if the first run was good enough or
if they had to spin again oh
weird it's not it's not terribly important
so it's a real certification but it is also
still possible that the company is using placeholder names and the actual nomenclature is something else although
we are so close to when it is rumored to be announced at uh gamescom uh which
starts on august 21st that it is hard to
imagine that they're planning to do a switcheroo
at the last minute with that said i have seen
packaging on NVIDIA cards come in with like stickers over top of
old names and sometimes NVIDIA will will go so far to throw the industry for a
loop that they will legitimately charge
their customers so not like you the end user but customers like evga they will
literally charge their customers one price and then the day of the launch
announce that it's a completely different price and just issue a rebate
after the fact they have actually done that yeah
so those guys are like i i actually i mean
i've said this to enough people at NVIDIA's faces that i don't feel like
i'm talking behind their back but enough with the cloak and dagger bull
crap you guys just just just just release the release the
product okay just just chill it's just a graphics
card come on boys like this is not
no Linus we're sending people to the moon
no mars titan
can you do the next topic i can't i'm not even
i'm not going to give you the satisfaction gosh there's a super long
topic about a uk committee trying to battle fake news that i don't even
want to talk about it oh boy battling fake news um a levy on social media
wow so this is kind of like the uh do you remember that like oh we are going to
talk okay let's do it well i was going to talk about the le'veon blank cds that
we have here in canada what you don't know about this no yeah when you buy a
blank cd it comes with like uh i don't know it's like a couple cents or
something like that but basically it's fun piracy
no it's yeah it's to fund piracy funding buyers canadian government
um oh my goodness yeah no it's too theoretically to to fund anti-piracy
measures or reimburse organizations that lost money due to piracy or whatever
interesting because obviously you know itunes and spotify weren't a better
long-term solution than charging a levy on blank cds
um so so what they're proposing is a principle-based is print sorry
principle-based recommendations designed to be sufficiently adaptive to deal with
fast-moving technological development principle-based recommendations from the
government literally buzzword
um so it's a levy on social media and tech giants to fund expanding a major
investment in the uk's data watchdogs so the body is able to attract and employ
more technically skilled engineers who can analyze current technologies and
have the capacity to predict future technologies
okay um i mean so it's not like there aren't
precedence for this this is similar to the way in which the banking sector pays
for the upkeep of the financial conduct authority
um there's a code for advertising through
social media during election periods limits to the most amount of money an
individual can donate um and a major increase in the maximum fine blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
okay so yeah there's gonna be
some interesting laws over the next little bit sorry i threw up a little in my mouth there
i didn't actually it's just a perp yeah and i was trying to hold it in so
that the poor headphone users at home didn't have to have burp sound like i
mean they ended up with it it was like really i didn't expect it to be so loud yeah it was very it was as unpleasant to
feel like it was for you to can't reproduce it yeah no you can't really do
that um Intel had some road map leaps which ironically are over on
videocards.com until doesn't make video cards at least not yet
maybe that'll be their new foray it is they hired roger kaduri well okay
you just got wrecked nope nope yeah okay hold on let's start making dedicated
comments go ahead it's not a card is it yeah it is
apparently oh actually yeah okay
um i was just having some fun with him they're actually making a physical
like PCIe card that's the plan apparently
yeah this is a word on the street okay like it's not on a road map anyway
because i knew i i knew they brought him on to help with the like oh we're gonna
have your the the like AMD or sorry the Radeon group technology on CPU and we
want like one oh no yeah no i think that um i think that collaboration between
Intel and Radeon technologies might if
anything be more strained yeah like i don't think
AMD was super thrilled about raja
moving on all right i do wonder how much a raja kaduri cost like if i wanted to
hire raja like how how would that even how would
that even work like how do you poach a guy like that and i wonder literally industry legend
yeah yeah yeah and i wonder what kind of like
benefit style stuff you'd have to bundle in yeah
you'd probably he'd probably have to like he'd probably have to have like uh
you know like in a because he can't just be money like it'd have to be like in in like
dogs you know or like uh well no i don't
know like there'd have to be some kind of like additional benefit like you'd
have to have like a like a guaranteed like staff like you're gonna have two personal
assistants and this and that so it's like it's more than just
money you'll have access to the the executive jet from time periods x to y
um you'll have this much sabbatical every two years and like like that kind
of thing like i i would be really curious because beyond a certain point
not everyone but a lot of people will stop caring at least as much about money
yeah and it will take astronomically more to make it really worth their while
so you want to start putting in other stuff yeah you have to start building like a
benefits package i've actually spent very little time with people who i would
consider to be like real executives
but um i did spend some time with the
executive assistant of an executive at a very large tech
company a little while ago i was i was at a dinner and uh i i ended up at the
table with like kind of the like the assistants and stuff yeah
and honestly the conversation there was far more interesting than what i would
have gotten sitting with the executives i think because it's all the like
like scuttlebutt so they have rules like um how often the executive assistant has
to swap out and that position is considered like a
really tough position because you actually end up doing like a
lot of the executive's actual work
um but it's considered a stepping stone
because you just have all this access to other executives and like so you get
your name out there you get your name out there and so they swap like between
involved or you just only you have like six months to like make your mark it's
more than that i think it's like two years or something like that but then you have to hire
a new one and then that person goes on to a different position because remember
that a lot of a lot of large companies have policies and programs in place
where people can change jobs quite frequently within the company and it's
something that's encouraged yeah just so that people won't stagnate
but so that they can retain their best talent see my strategy for that is to
force people to work on things that they don't want to work on so that when
they're done that they get to go back to work on something that they want to work on and they can be excited to go to work
just to go back to their regular job okay
thanks guys sorry aj
you're almost done dude in other news here's that leak we were talking about
so apparently there's some kind of
new is he in chat oh that doesn't work luke
he told me it did is he lying to me because i'd love to know
i'm watching for watching for aj
is he misleading me oh boy does Floatplane even exist like is this
do you even work for us
oh boy dot dot dot
that mean meanwhile luke's just been siphoning all the money yeah
um and aj's like what there was money the
Floatplane what's that um
all right so okay okay this road map so
apparently in 2018 we are getting a uh a
9700k okay according to the the roadmap
leak and then sometime in q3 of 2018
there's going to be something called a 9900k
which is going to be higher end than the existing uh core i9s or something
someone in chat said siphoning money to afford your chair technically i saved
for four and a half years yeah buy that should look at it that way yeah
technically i've saved for 10 years to replace my car so i should just run out
and buy a model x then right oh boy
by that logic oh this one was like highly recommended you
know what's really funny is i um i'm probably gonna return it
i'm supposed to be shopping for cars because i have made a commitment too
much okay i was gonna say when i drove up today like when it was pink and stuff
it was pretty bad you got the dick dick butt on the mirror or the on the
back window is pretty bad it's
bad now like it's like a different level
it actually looks like it has a disease i'm actually tired of it now like it's
the only car that i know of that i've ever looked at that i'm like that is
problematic like it's not even funny no it's just an eyesore it's
too far i haven't been pulled over yet i've been daily driving it
um okay you know what let's get through these leaks first so uh the 28 core part
that Intel teased back at computex is apparently going to be a brand new
market segment with a different chipset and socket i mean anyone who knows anything would have known that 3647
socket and then probably some kind of cut down version of their c620 whatever
chipsets um there's going to be a basin falls refresh in november 2018. okay glacier
falls but in production later blah blah blah blah blah okay so back to the car
so i have made a commitment to my wife
that i will replace it by the time the next service period rolls around
when's the next service now i committed to that because my intention was to sort
of just keep driving it yeah um because there's
going to be an it was another 8 000 kilometers about 5 000 miles left before
it needed to be serviced again um
but i'm starting to come around to getting on that uh a
little earlier but the stupid thing is that
honestly i i look i'm not gonna i'm not gonna lie
to you guys i can afford a new car yeah
obviously we you know like and i don't even mean like
brand new car like i can afford to replace that car with something better
than that car probably most of you watching could
afford to replace that car with something better than that car you could
buy something for 500 bucks and it would probably be better than that okay shout
out be nice to my car okay it has served me well no no no i look it
has i'm allowed to talk i'm allowed to speak badly we thought it was you're not
we thought it was gonna die you haven't earned it we
we thought it was gonna die in 2013. yeah we were surprised it was still
alive in 2013. so so anyway um
uh so so i i i'm getting pretty tired of
it uh but my original plan was to just keep driving it until that service and
then figure she'd probably have gotten used to it by then and then just keep driving it but she's not getting used to
it i'm not getting used to it when you get
your new car yeah
it's not exciting at all uh you remember how we used uh i
probably uh used to have all those ideas of like
getting a computer in the trunk and having like screens on the back of
the seats yes i've wanted to do that with the minivan for a while the issue
is we can't find a sponsor oh yeah because we don't have the
expertise to like completely rework the interior of a car to do it properly yeah
and so we'd want to work we'd want to collaborate with like a shop that's
capable of that to like doing a good job of it and so there just be costs associated
and since it's not the kind of thing that actually has much practical use
it's not the kind of thing i just want to pay for out of pocket because it wouldn't be you could actually do
wireless for most of it yeah like pretty
much all of it but power and mounting the monitors yeah like i
wouldn't want it to be janky so there there are some possibilities and i
don't want to get too far into it but we have some ideas okay um
but what are you leaning towards the car at all
so that's the thing is i'm supposed to be car shopping because i have agreed
butcher and i want to i ended up spending probably a grand
total of about 40 minutes car shopping and since then all i've been researching
is motorcycles
there are some super cool electric motorcycles out there now
so i've never really had any desire to have one i know i i know i know shut up
i've never had any desire to replace my sv650s it's a 2003 but
that's the first year that it had fuel injection um okay question sidebar
question does that bike have abs ah no it doesn't because
that like wasn't a thing that blew my mind that's apparently a newer thing on
bikes abs yeah yeah yeah weird so yeah i know my bike doesn't have abs it's
pretty bare bones but it's got the v-twin engine which i
really like it's got lots of pull and the low RPM range um it's it's actually
especially now that i'm more used to it it's really light uh like it's not light
compared to a dual sport or something but it's but it's it's it's light it's
maneuverable and it's honestly got enough power
that unless you're an idiot you don't really
need more than that like if you're doing anything other than going in a straight
line um there's not much reason to have much
more power than that at least on the road like on the track a
whole different story whatever talk about your favorite track bike amongst
yourselves please um but
there's there's there's this bike called the
lightning that shut up
to 16. trying to roast me about a chair zero to six is like recommended by a
physiotherapist because my back has problems and you want to replace your
car with a bike and you already have a perfectly good bike 0-60 in two seconds
how do you stay on it i want to find out
oh my goodness oh man uh is this here so
is this your midlife crisis the funny thing about it is i've always
joked with my wife like i couldn't possibly have a midlife crisis because
i've been midlife crisising my whole life like i bought a motorcycle like
eight years ago yeah right yeah yeah um
so so the thing that the the thing about
bikes is that they're cheap and by cheap
i don't mean that 40 000 isn't a lot of money
i mean that for literally the fastest bike on the planet
compared to literally the fastest car on the planet
we're talking an order of magnitude difference in price
yeah so for the price of like a basic minivan
which i recently purchased you could have the fastest bike on the
planet zero to sixty in two seconds
but you can't even use it
oh you can accelerate especially an electric electric motor there's
dangerous takeoff yeah you can if your wheel spins i'd
love to learn to do a wheelie that's also not legal and the 650 yeah
on those on the road it's legal to do it elsewhere yeah they have like they have
like stunt riding courses and stuff like that'd be a lot of fun shut up
anyway anyway so i'm supposed to be shopping for a car
i have actually spent the vast majority of my time shopping for a bike now with
that said so would you sell yours
range on the lightning i think is like 150 200 miles
also someone in the uh someone in the chat had a question what is the
uh mileage or kilometers on your lambo
on the lambo it's about 200 and it's a little over two hundred and twenty
thousand is just the wrong thing yeah two hundred twenty 000. yeah a little over 220 000 kilometers there you go um
what the crap is this you know what's great is the mobile
version has shut up the mobile version of chrome has a thing
where when you're stuck in one of these back loops where it just keeps reloading
like it forwards you a few times so you can't spam click back to get back yeah
on the mobile version you can tell it don't let this page bring up any more prompts but the desktop version doesn't
that's lame Linus owns all lambo
welcome to the party dude uh yeah sure
uh we're talking about my civic
it's a joke it is a super
joke yeah so this this is this is the thing i've been looking at that's a nice
looking and by looking at i mean drooling over
oh it's so beautiful um
don't don't look at don't look at this wow don't look at that kind of thing okay um
let's see i'm just trying to remember the range yeah okay so the 20 kilowatt
hour battery pack is 160 to 100 and uh yeah 100 miles
range at highway speed but there's different battery pack options
so they're probably talking about this look how you knew that the basic yeah no
i i knew there were different batteries a couple things i still don't like it's
pretty heavy it's significantly heavier than mine
battery packs i'm assuming yeah it's probably mostly in the
batteries but so okay i haven't actually pitched this
to the wife yet but let me let me try something out on you and see how it goes
okay first i need to know though yes because
this would be important for her as well for sure
are you selling your bike sure i'll sell my bike i don't really have anywhere to
keep it and are are you then not replacing the car
oh no i'm i'll replace the car so you're gonna get this and a car okay just just
shut up shut up okay she's gonna ask me hold on hold on yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
okay so glassy thing so so pretty much everyone and their dog has been like
you're a tech guy i got a model s that's boring okay right well that's
kind actually that's kind of my response to that because the funny thing about
the super civic is that it's horrible
but if your car is supposed to be
a reflection of something about you like your car does say something about
you the super civic for better or for worse
is the Linus mobile so you want something so rolling fast
and electric because you're super fast no no no that's no no it's not that it's
not that i just mean i mean it's been it's because this is a reflection of
your perspective been hard for no no i'm not talking about this right now i just mean it's been hard for me to replace
the super civic for multiple reasons one i hate car shopping yeah two
it really is such a it is such a perfect
fit for me not now but it was it was
before it got a little too fast now it's too much it was the soup it was the zero
f's mobile yeah super practical yeah
reliable cheap cheap standard super
cheap standard everything even Windows yeah that i wasn't a fan of no well the
Windows are okay no ac was a problem though yeah um it's getting worse every
year yeah it's been it was really bad we had a heat wave recently that sucked um
anyway so it's been like the me mobile and it's been hard to find
something that says anything about me a model doesn't
no that's my issue with the model s yeah the model s says absolutely nothing
about Linus sebastian the person other than oh you're a tech guy i get a model s
okay it's also really expensive it's also really expensive but but based on that
everyone's telling me to buy a model s i figure people won't be like mad
if i say look i haven't replaced my car in 10 years i'm getting a model s do you
think people would resent that i don't think people would be mad i
don't think it works for you i think it's ludicrously expensive
okay okay so so let's assume that people
you know and there's no right to repair on model s's on tesla i've heard a lot
about this recently oh right to repair on this is like like tesla and right to
repair are like not friends which this is i've very recently heard about this
but that's not a that's not so i'm gonna pitch something here i'm gonna pitch something here for the cost of one model
s i could get a clarity plug-in hybrid and
for the daily commute and
a super bike that doesn't mean you're supposed to spend that much money
it means that i could but it doesn't mean that you're supposed and it would
be the same as if i got a model s
but you shouldn't have gotten a model s
but i probably shouldn't do that okay i want to hear from twitch chat i need a second
opinion of course they're going to talk i need a second opinion second opinion
um okay okay people are like mkbhd got a
model s that makes a lot of sense don't know about lioness
um okay um
i could but am i gonna superbike means midlife crisis dude dude
what just right there okay vaughn can i pitch you something
this is really important okay
so so okay we need a straw poll really no no you gotta you gotta come on for a
minute here can you can you pull it up okay so i'll draw my scene no no no no
no she can just she can come she can come sit with me we're we're we're good friends here
you guys hang out sometimes yeah we can we're not afraid of a little bit of
physical contact made three babies you know okay oh all the keys in my pocket
are killing my thigh you're why are you still so bad at this what
it's killing my killing my lap actually i also have a keyboard in my pocket
that's not right okay okay that's not my fault okay i need to i need to reach the thing
okay so i'm gonna what is this question i run something by you get it or don't
get it because we don't want to tell you what's going on yet
okay so the model s um costs
i have the same reaction i have the same result okay so the model s costs uh
why is it why do they just put loan what is what is the difference between
lease and loan that's stupid like what is a what is a loan no a loan i think is
when you get financing oh financing why don't they just say financing well that
is what that means okay so a model s uh
is anywhere from okay the federal tax credit this is u.s oh crap okay well
whatever it's about 85 000 canadian
plus whatever i mean i would there's no way i wouldn't get the autopilot upgrade and
stuff like that so let's say about 80 to 90 000 canadian okay so would i be allowed to get a
model s why i thought you didn't want a model
this is not the point that's not the people don't want
so would i be allowed to get one i don't know it just has to make sense
okay but could i could i make some kind of argument that that would make sense
no probably not actually okay why
because it's not practical it's not really sheet seven
it's not really you see a minivan seats how many people and
costs a fraction of that okay yeah this much may be true
okay um i mean okay so
so from a practicality standpoint no but if it was just like i really want this
okay you could probably make that argument okay good good good good good okay that's all i need that's all i need
okay so now how about this
how about a very practical car that costs half as much
and a super bike that also costs half as
much
how about that you're not getting the super bike
but it's a lightning 0 to 60 in two seconds two seconds does that sound like
a good thing for the father of you don't want you to die we have life insurance
now that's so exciting
all right thank you that was worth a shot
oh my god you know it's funny that was fantastic i would say i should just do
it anyway oh i have to go i don't know we all have to go actually okay i would
say that i should just do it anyway but the cold hard truth is she completely
controls all the money yeah i wouldn't be able to buy a hamburger without her
knowing about it like it's actually a problem like i can't surprise her with a
gift or anything because all the credit credits draw withdraw
cash it's actually yeah but if i withdrew cash
it would seem very unusual if it was any more than like 100 bucks here and there
like i like to carry a little bit of cash because um a lot of places in
richmond only take cash yeah but that's the only reason i carry cash
so unless i like flip something on craigslist recently
i don't have a ton of i don't have a ton of cash on hand so if she saw like you
know a few hundred dollars come out of the account she'd be like hey does someone have your card someone have your
pen yeah you're like no no uh well what was this what was this withdrawal
because it's literally her job like actually her job every day to keep track
of all the money yeah no no it's not like a control freak thing she's just
literally the financial officer of both our family and our company
so yeah there'd be
okay well let me let me see the straw poll can i at least see the straw poll results i
haven't even seen it okay what's up what's the url here
is it case sensitive oh it's pretty close dot me slash
162 yeah zero six three yeah uh six
seven okay let's have let's have a look here let's share the results with everybody
let's get these in real time i mean i gotta vote i gotta vote right
yeah like you know obama got to vote for himself so i should get to vote for
myself get it vote okay let's have a let's have a look at these uh these here
votes here there wow straw poll has got to work on that
their thing they got wow there's someone in the trophy someone in the building
has already voted oh really did you vote yeah i voted
oh did you not get to vote oh i'm sorry to hear that
oh what a big bummer that is oh bummer
ah so vaughn it looks like you were wrong
56 percent of people said do it
yeah so i mean does the democratic society
um you know might makes right a quantity in numbers
uh okay that's it for right that's it for the mention thank you for watching
and we'll see you again next week saying bad time saying bad shadow that's not the argument you want right there
oh boy what's an ae86 i got someone in someone on twitch
very legendary i've got a lot of people telling me to get miatas
or get a miata this car is sick actually but
for
like the first like movie i think was on vhs that was like
super into drifting was from japan and he was driving a truno 86. okay yeah i
know that's 86. all right bye everybody bye
