i'm good now confirm start dot text
i'm wondering am i high again oh wow i meant uh
i meant the height of the chair welcome to WAN Show how's it going we have a
bunch of great news this week twitter made money that's weird i don't think
that's ever happened before no no i don't believe it has um the homepod
stains your furniture permanently AMD is
apparently potentially sending out free processors
we'll have to get to that later what uh google removes the ability to view
images now requires you to save them to your account
and um i think we've called out enough news
stay tuned to watch the rest intro roll
i am so hungry like i need that savage jerky spot today
yeah i am so excited for
this average jerky spot yeah
yeah but that's savage jerky
p.s the sriracha you know what whatever screw Colton um
it is really good yeah it's fine but it's not okay ah i think it's healthcare when
everything on a 10-point scale starts at nine you still you know yeah
but there's tens but there's tens Colton
see Colton he's not a you know he's not a 10 thinker you know he's more of a
it's more of a nine thing as long as it's past the post
yeah
all right so we have got a lot of great news for you
guys why don't we kick it right off with twitter made money so this might not
sound too crazy uh but if you've been following twitter at all they have never
been profitable twitter turns a profit for the first
time in 12 years and just like so many other look
at this like look at this look at that
they've lost as much as 500 million dollars in a single quarter oh man like
what do they do and like regularly a hundred to two hundred million they made
a hundred million dollars like they are clearly still many many years in the
hole but like 91 million dollars profit on 732 million
revenue and there's so many social kind of tech companies like
this that just make nothing and burn for
so long i don't know like snapchat is actually at the point now where it's
like old and people don't really want to use it anymore because it like feels old
wow and i don't i still don't think they're
really making money so like yeah they didn't really make
enough uh it says here the profit was modest 91 million on a 732 million in
revenue so the profit was 91 million yeah revenue was
732. their shares soared as much as 30
which is the most since november 7th 2013 did they really go public that long
ago it's been a while like what
see this is what this is why i don't invest in stocks because i don't
understand it
it's it's it's basically if you're okay
now to be clear there are situations where i kind of look at and go okay yeah
that sort of makes sense like there are companies that pay out a dividend on
their profits to their shareholders so if you do the math and you go okay
well this is blue chip enough and stable enough that i think that they
are blue chip terminology blue chip a blue chip stock is like a predictable
one that basically rises and falls as the market in general does i think
you're bad at stock i'm like a tier below okay so
so if you look at and you go okay this blue chip stock pays out dividends at
sort of x rate and overall we're tracking this and the economic outlook
is why and whatever i can't buy any right yeah
then you could kind of go but and and in in eight years i'll have made back what
i spent on my stock in just dividends so as long as you still own the stock and
then you still own the stock like if there's some kind of math that you can do where you kind of go okay yeah sure
maybe that sort of makes sense to be clear it's still gambling because it can
all still totally be destroyed the company could vanish yeah um
but this whole betting on companies that don't make money that one
really confuses me like i've always the way that i've always believed in running
a business is is
small is fine big is good big is better
but profitable is essential i believe in
sustainability everyone who gets hired at Linus media group should know that
even if i fail in my efforts to go around and get on my knees and do
whatever it is that i need to do from my knees be it like this or like whatever
else i don't even see what you do with vc capitalists they need to know that
even if my efforts to to raise money from people who just
you know don't know what to spend it on fail they will still have a job yeah i
believe in that i like not being vc based it's kind of cool
even though flow plane sort of is but in a different way in a different way like
so in a quite different way yeah so the way it works is i'm the vc yeah yeah
which is i i think that's different yeah it is different when i have a long
working relationship and like i'm directly involved in the
company it's not it's not like it's inside investment that sounds like a bad
thing is that what it's called it's probably not called that because that
sounds like it sounds sketchy it sounds something like something illegal but
it's specifically the point is this whole pure speculation
on i'm gonna buy this stock because like someone else is gonna look at it and go
wow i should have bought that stock and they're gonna jump in they're gonna buy it for more and then i'm gonna sell it
like that has always been scary to me for the same reasons that
cryptocurrency is scary yeah or
putting more because it's the same or mortgaging my house and putting it all
on black is scary like all of those things are scary to me
um and uh so so so i just want to make sure that
even though we're getting kind of amped because twitter made money which
i have never seen an ad on twitter so i
have where are okay no they're not ads they're promotions i don't see ads
they're promotions i actually just like i have like a learning disability like i
can't or like a visual impairment we talked about that yeah yeah like i can't
see them where are they they're kind of hard to see because they're here okay
let's let's all let's all go on a journey to twitter together let's go to
the home okay
so uh i think you can pay to get here on
worldwide trends i could be wrong but sometimes you'll see something that has
like like here this doesn't have many tweets yeah exactly
so there's ones with like huge amounts of thousands watch
something on netflix so is this sponsored but it's not disclosed
i have no idea okay i think you can pay to get there i
don't necessarily know that anyone's that are there right now did i could also be completely wrong so you can
advertise with twitter it's not real clear what you get for your money
from looking at my home page or the Linux tech tips home page anyway check
it okay so why don't we go to why don't no no no i won't know where
the ads are i don't want to know where to spend money to buy these supposed ads
i don't think you're going to see any notifications i think you only see them in home and moments
okay um
no this is for my network okay okay so like
um so this is what i'm trying to figure out
here is like you know so i think it's really cool
that twitter made money i can't figure out
how why they made money because i can't figure out why anybody's buying
advertising on it and lots their revenue is huge yeah it's like 700 billion
dollars of revenue like it's not i mean to be clear like that's nothing compared
to a giant like google or facebook but i i'm sure twitch chat is tearing me
apart here they go turn off adblock i don't have adblock yeah neither of us
have that block that's not it for sure
like here here here you know what no yeah no i wanna i wanna make sure that
like that that the error is clear where would adblock be if i had it up here
the only extension you have is lastpass yeah or the only uh extension that
requires an icon but i'm pretty sure i block like where where where would i
show my where what shows my extensions would it show up as an app i think it's
under more tools and then yeah more tools than
extensions so more tools more tools extensions extensions here we go i
actually don't really use browser extensions as you guys can plainly see
okay you have a fair amount but most of them are not enabled you can see from the check mark check mark box so there
you go there's mike's there's every extension i have ever like tried for five minutes
there you go yeah so no ad blocker is not the issue
i i just maybe maybe part of it is that i don't
see them and i don't click on them so maybe they
just stop bothering yeah okay cause i'm on mine and i decided that i was just
gonna sit here and just constantly scroll through home until i got to one
yeah and i haven't i've seen them before though i have seen
sponsored tweets they definitely exist i know i don't use hola vpn
i think i i think i grabbed it like years ago
for i know what i used it for
uh we did a sponsored spot for hulu
and i had and hulu yeah yeah and we needed to get some
screen capture of hulu and i just needed to go on like their
website so i think that's why i grabbed
uh just like some because that was prior
to our tunnel bear sponsorship i don't think i had even heard of tunnel bear at
the time yeah so uh
so yeah so that's why i had a couple of random like that that's from like four
years ago
an actually insane amount of scrolling and i have seen zero ads
i've scrolled through a lot of stuff while we're just sitting here so yeah like i just i um i i don't i don't get
it so so back to so their total advertising revenue was
only up one percent year over year because maybe there's a lot of people out there
who can't find the ads on twitter um or maybe you know what you know what it's
mid q1 oh no one's buying yeah maybe just maybe
they actually are just like
don't have any ads to serve yeah that could definitely be it yeah so i
mean just so you guys know like there's a there's a very um there's a very
cyclical nature to online advertising
spending and we've been doing it long enough that you know we're very familiar with
the the ebbs and the flows so um in quarter one of of any given year
since Linus media group has become a thing
we we've been running around with our hair on fire trying to figure out how
we're going to survive for the next year because we do our annual employee reviews
we try to get them finished uh in december and during that time uh everyone gets
sort of the feedback on how things went this year for the company how things
went for them and a lot of the time people get raises
so and that's also the time of year that we
do all of our budgeting for the following year where we'll go okay uh we
need to set aside this much money to hire this person and this much for that
person and whatever else and then every q1
like we're not surprised because we know
it's coming okay i'll show that in a minute we're not surprised because like
we know it's coming but we're always kind of surprised by the severity
because the calendar flips over figuratively who uses paper calendars
it's ridiculous but the calendar flips over and like
all of our sponsors are just like yeah we don't have any budget right now and
and adsense goes like this
and we're just like oh how are we going to survive
we're paying people more than we used to but we're making less than we used to
this is not a good this is not a good uh
oh i've got sorry i got a coffee
damn it there's there goes that bingo piece so the point is um
this happens this happens every year and so it actually shouldn't surprise me
that much if twitter doesn't have a lot of uh advertising inventory to to pump
out to the people who are least likely to click on it people like me with that said here
we had someone provide the system twitch chat uh no is a tweet to both of us to both
of us to both of us no like they tweeted this screenshot to
both of us so one thing to note here is someone
brought this up in the chat as well i don't know if i want to like promote
this too much what is this i have no idea don't go to it there you go uh yeah
this this looks like pretty scummy it does like i've never
heard of it it might be fine but like
investment advertising on twitter that compares itself to crypto
and is like yeah we provide even better returns than crypto like what does that
even mean it sounds like it sounds like the worst
thing i would in particular not go there how about that we'll give them negative
promotion um but yeah like apparently
it's more popular in the mobile app which might be part of the reason why we're not seeing it so january so
there's less of them it's not january but q1 so there's less of them um and we're
not mobile app so there's less of them that both of those actually does make
quite a bit of sense okay so there you go twitter made money but that doesn't
mean that i would necessarily recommend going and you know investing your life
savings because uh revenue is only up one percent as i said before
and 2017 as a whole was down six percent
from uh 2016. yeah which i don't know what that means if your advertising
revenue is up one percent oh maybe they have other sources of revenue like
data sales i don't know what does twitter do is twitter sell data i have
no idea i assume so i totally assume so
because they have a lot of it yeah we got to be careful you know because we
don't want to get caught up in a slander libel disbargement thing so we don't
know there we don't know um and we mostly it would be logical that
they would we mostly don't give two two poops and uh half of our rats rear end
about sort of twitter's financials yeah um
so someone just tweeted me this which was they tagged me in a sponsored post
that they saw on their feed that doesn't show me that it's sponsored because of
how twitter works you just make a normal tweet and then you promote that normal
tweet and it will be promoted to individual people but if other people
see it it's just a normal tweet so you can't actually tell like there's
no there's no hashtag ad or anything because it's coming from the actual home
company so
that's kind of interesting actually i just found out why my hard drive mining
um test machine wasn't booting after the power outage
what boot drive got nuked
so like it's not the hugest deal but i
need to put a new os on it no no all the pop files are still there so you can
just read it oh yeah the plot files are still there it's just it's a pain in the
butt because it has like 25 drives in it
and so i just need to go through and tediously
re-add all the plots and like get it all signed in
luckily the plot file names should have your nonce counseling yeah it was a pain
and no yeah no it does like it's fine it's just like i mean i plotted all of
them on separate machines already anyway oh okay yeah it's just it's the actual
rig that runs it and it's just it's a pain in the butt because
um i had a really really hard time finding a driver that worked for the lsi
controller cards because the problem is that lsi got
acquired by whoever who then got acquired by someone else so finding
drivers for the old lsi staff even if
there is a current product that's the same thing it's just kind of like a pain
in the butt and i figured it out like a few months ago so i'm just gonna have to do it from scratch it took me like half
an hour so it's just like not the end of the world you know
speaking of my 800 burst coins worth a total of like 26 dollars are safe
so far by the way guys the results for mining adventure side quest hard drive
mining not great um
if you have to actually buy a hard drive for it
not recommended yeah not so much but yeah anyway sorry what were you saying
uh speaking of not the end of the world but not recommended have you been
watching the olympics at all no okay so i haven't seen anything there's
a few different people talking about how different coverage has been going and
one thing that i do have to give a shout out for is cbc has been great so you can
see rocks at olympics medium broadcasting company corporation but
sure sure they're not a company oh that makes sense um it's been awesome
watching their stuff has been really great they stream all of it
which is pretty sick it's been interesting though watching
twitter because i started like someone someone mentioned that nbc
sucked for some reason and i was like cbc has been great i heard nbc's been
like cutting off the like middle of events
forever for like certain yeah for certain events and then other events
like i think it was uh ice dance or figure skating or something
they're doing like picture in picture to make sure we like see the reaction cam
like some of them they're trying like really hard to cover really well and then others they just like don't give a
crap okay so anyway with cbc apparently
because a lot of people have been tweeting about it
yeah with cbc uh people have been tweeting about this if you run ad block the
stream just keeps going when the ads are supposed to be running
so the announcers think that the ads are running and they keep talking
really
and it's been pretty bad but like there's constantly through the
cbc there's like none of this shall be reproduced or like cbc will come after
you basically it's constantly broadcasted so there's not a lot of clips of it but there's like man i don't
want to effing commentate the next game blah blah blah blah blah i wonder if
they're gonna you know send any to our hotels
like bad stuff stuff that should not be on the air no way so you're not supposed
to copy it you're not supposed to record it and but if someone did
wow that'll be golden
you know i i'm not even convinced that any scandal matters anymore
yeah i mean you've got it well it made me salty because i was so happy with how
the cbc's coverage was working their web streaming was working great you could
watch vods you could watch live coverage their commentation was going really well
the the timing of ads was very sensible everything was super awesome everyone
else was complaining i was like yes this is great and then none of it's going to
stick because like we don't we don't really get political on the show anymore
but i i it's probably worth
at least mentioning that right now the president of the freaking united states
has a porn star and an ex-playmate
both of which have given very credible accounts of affairs that he had with
them and it's as simple as no it's all a lie it never happened
and it's like barely even news
yep and now with deep fakes okay and all this other kind of stuff and i'm sure
they'll come up with like a deep fake equivalent for audio
that'll be a bad combination so yeah like whatever the commentator
said the best advice i can give them if anyone from the cbc who said something
yeah no no no you don't even have to ignore it just be like nope fake news yeah
i'm just like okay nothing sticks anymore like i'm at the
point now where i'm kind of looking at it going why do i even stress out about
this stuff anymore yeah like i should find something like
scandalous to do and then just see see how quickly it goes away
gain temporary attention yeah which is helpful yeah and then it'll just
disappear like do you have any idea how healthy uh tampon gate was for the the
overall momentum of the channel was it oh
because i guess a bunch of people came to watch it to see the context and stuff
oh and a bunch of them subscribed
and that's why like youtube saw that video saw it had great traction and
promoted the heck out of the next few i found it really really interesting when
everyone that hated on ex-youtuber i'm not even gonna bring his
name up because that's my whole point um just
tweeted out his name and links to the videos that they're
upset about and we're like i can't believe this is
happening and i'm like you're just growing his channel
like if if you're just saying like i'm upset this is bad you're not actually
deconstructing the person so people don't actually really care and
they just want to see what's going on and then they're like oh okay let me just move on so you're actually just
helping them yeah i mean uh your anger
what are cheers cheers that's that's money we have a top
cheer by squantoon i think that's what's a thousand channels i think ten dollars
really i think i could be wrong why would anybody give us ten dollars i
think a hundred yeah i think a hundred is one dollar and on

they sent us a new box of savage jerky yeah which got held up in customs
so they sent us a new box of savage jerky
in one day both of the boxes that they shipped
arrived and we found our other box so we have
oh that might have legitimately been bad bad for the laptop so much
because there's actually so much of it so much savage jerky
oh my god i've been actually craving this for so long me too so i'm gonna go
for oh man my mate they sent over how much maple buffalo bacon did look how
much moho there is there's so much um
so savage jerky the idea behind
their company was to create
a snack that tastes great and isn't bad
for you and they've got lots of different flavors my personal favorites
are the moho and the maple buffalo bacon which i'm
going to crack open in a minute here um luke you're a big fan of the

oh look at that you
oh cool so they've got a new package design that lets you see the jerky
inside oh that's their reaper so they've got a lot of jerkys that are made from
some of the hottest peppers in the world uh

it's really tasty um
they also make spice rub they make a hot sauce

um they've got some really tasty stuff they've got some really spicy stuff and
they've got some really spicy stuff that's really tasty and vice versa
all right so we have managed to do one news topic
so far so we should probably get a move
on um
let's uh let's do that so line is the screen uh the original article here is
from the verge it was posted on the forum by good bytes
okay good bytes
okay scale of one to ten
microsoft how about we talk about microsoft
how okay is he pro microsoft or anti-everything
else or some combination of the two i was
just gonna say why not both why not um so he posted this on the forum home
pods are apparently staining wooden tables with a white ring it seems to
have something to do with the rubber bottom and some kind of
a chemical reaction that takes place with wood and to be clear apparently so
not rubber sonos does too apple has confirmed the issue stating that this is
great the marks can improve over several days
after the speaker is removed from the wood surface
also known as get owned yeah
the company also recommended that users try cleaning the surface with the
manufacturer's suggested oiling method if the white rings don't fail there is
apparently already an accessory
uh so paddin quill.com
is selling and this surely surely was a leather ponytail
oh whoops this surely was a leather coaster they already had oh my god wow
go away uh surely was something they already had
that they are just calling leather surface protector for
home pod yeah that was absolutely just a coaster or something 20 bucks you can get a
leather surface protector for the home pod uh but surely this is not going to
be the last uh solution
um we've got a note in the in the notes from james here wouldn't apple have
known about this why didn't they warn consumers you know i can see this being
the kind of thing that apple might not have noticed
i would okay i would probably see uh i would give them the benefit out there as
well and i'm kind of king of like no
don't do it but yeah in this case i honestly would uh but
their response how fast was their response
um i think it was within a day or two so they might have
right right so you're saying anything that
they wouldn't if they didn't take three to five days
to validate it or wait no right the fact that they think it might
fade in three to five days yeah and they didn't have three to five days to figure
so i would normally give them the doubt but i think they played their cards
pretty clearly here they must have already known
because they apple's king of just like i don't know
so if they do totally holding it wrong and they're like three to five days this
is it blah blah blah blah
maybe get on our level and get more glass furniture if it doesn't fade out
in three to five days use this specific oiling method
like i i don't know i i think they knew
i would give them benefit of the doubt except
uh yeah i think they basically told us that they knew
all right well at any rate um if they didn't respond
i would say oh yeah i don't they know
i don't think any of my smart speakers are sitting on you know what no i do have one i have the sonos uh play three
that's sitting on it's sitting on the um so i have and it says sonos does it too
so i have a wardrobe that has two drawers in the bottom and then it just
has like an open slot where you can put like um you know belts or ties or
something like and i have a i have a plate i don't have any i don't have any
ties and i only have one belt so i have the sonos play three in there
um so i should check i should check and see if see if it's stained
um this wasn't posted to the form apparently james found it over on arse
technica AMD
is sending out free processors to solve firmware flashing catch 22 apparently
so AMD will help you out if your new motherboard needs a new BIOS to work
with your new CPU now these kinds of issues have come up
before so this really surprises me that they
would be doing this so one of AMD's
selling points compared to it's weird over the last
little while has been forwards and backwards compatibility of their cpus
and their motherboard and chipset platforms and
for for most intents and purposes when we're
talking am2 aim2 plus am3 um was there a name 3 plus can't
remember for most intents and purposes this hasn't really mattered much
because um there wasn't really a significant
upgrade to make like anyone who went from an 1100 t what
was that two bin to uh to a pile driver
i think i can't i can't remember all the code names anyway anyone who went from
their their high performance six core to their high performance eight core
actually lost performance in a lot of situations so there wasn't really a
compelling reason to to want to cross
contaminate your your platform but
and the other thing too is that they were comparing themselves
themselves to um to Intel who's notorious for going okay
yeah a chipset has a two year life span that's it
um so one of the big pitches with am4 was
like hey you're you don't notice every am4 board has a has a graphics output on
it you're going to be able to take AMD upcoming
zen based apus so CPU and GPU
combination chips with integrated graphics you're gonna be able to plug them into these boards and go
now in this case there is a compelling reason why you might actually want to do
that and aside from upgrading because you wouldn't you wouldn't upgrade to one of
the new i'm not i hate calling them apus but one of the new cpus with integrated
graphics um you wouldn't really upgrade to them but there might be boards out
there that have been sitting on a shelf for the last three months and someone
just goes and like buys it and buys a new CPU with integrated graphics that
doesn't work and might be in a situation where they
can't flash their BIOS without an older style CPU so
basically what they're doing apparently
is um
AMD's boot kit yeah to flash your firmware
so you actually get a free CPU a dual core a690 500 you're supposed to send it
back but you don't have to send the heatsink back
what what the whole thing is just super
weird i'm like do you have to sign some agreement to get it i don't know
because if not i suspect the majority of people just won't send it back so here's what i want
to know ASUS has had this figured out for like
five years why does everybody else not have
CPU lists motherboard BIOS flashing sorted out at
this point yeah why is it still hard to flash a BIOS is it patented
that's a great question i have no idea yeah i don't know either but like okay
this laptop razer's BIOS flashing method is super
simple you download an exe and you run it and it updates your system firmware
updates your BIOS and you reboot like
how if you can't get into Windows though but that's what that's been around for a
while but that sounds more complicated to me
doing it while the system is booted up the only thing that would make sense to me is it's got a it's got to be a padded
thing because i really because yeah it it doesn't seem like it should be that
hard right pull the file off the thing
you can do that without an os
because you know why like i don't know if you remember but back in the day
there was a few games that had little mini games starting though during
loading screens and that hasn't been a thing for a long time it's because some
stupid patent troll was just like no it wasn't a stupid troll it's like
atari or something yeah but then they never did anything
with it if i'm really quickly i want to see who did it yeah i'm looking it up already
um it's about to expire apparently namco bandai sorry yeah okay but it's like
it's like one of those like ancient irrelevant like sell the patent or
something yeah because it's really awesome yeah it's
great and you're just not allowing anyone to do it and it's really annoying
i i commented on that when i was doing that video with that should not be
patentable by the way oh my god so i i noticed that when i was doing the
video with my son on the kano that it has their flappy their stupid
flappy bird clone oh dear on the loading screen yeah yeah i was like wow this is
great why doesn't everybody do this and then the comments were just full of people being like
yeah cause they can't idiot and i was like okay great thanks yeah
thank you commenters i really appreciate you and your comments
wonder if kano got in trouble for that i missed jim carrey like yeah what has he
done lately oh other than just like being
bizarre on social media and on camera and stuff yeah oh there's
a movie down on camera uh he's he's uh
i don't want to get into it just in case i say something wrong but he's
yeah i don't want to get too far into it nothing like
yeah nothing too crazy didn't his wife commit suicide or something like that
yes this is part of the reason why i don't want to get you into it uh there's
there's been some oh there's been a civil suit against him something to do
with that interesting this is part of the problem
okay the fact that this is happening at all apparently is like extremely
mentally straining which makes sense um
yeah so there's been some pretty intense bouts of nihilism stuff it's a very sad
situation depending on whether or not it's true and all this kind of stuff and
i don't know and blah blah but yeah it's been a little a little complicated
for a little while
and i feel like it's going to be an extremely polarizing thing
huh
interesting okay then
um moving on to other tech news
all right then oh excuse me alrighty then oh right um are you allowed to say
that like if you can patent or like trademark let's get ready to rumble in
the way that that he said it can you can you can you do like other catchphrases
i assume are you wearing a savage jerky shirt i am you are such a sellout i was
so excited when i heard we had more it's my first food for the day so like
thank you for feeding me sponsor i appreciate it also clothing me we're
doing good we're doing good you put a roof over my head and we're done
actually you sort of do all right
can i help you you know you can't have more you were already here you ate the
whole bag already you ate the whole bag shared it with people well that's what
you get for sharing yeah what did we learn
sharing is losing things uh okay so google to tweak image search to help
protect photographer copyrights so it
used to be that it was as simple as this yeah
images may be subject to copyright which was google's way of basically what yeah
um well because they don't know because they don't know and because they don't
care so they have removed the view image
button that was next to it that would directly link to the high res photo
and they're going to make that copyright notice more prominent for users so
unless you just middle click or right click and open a new tab
so this change is a result of a partnership between google and the stock photo
agency getty images which has been lodging anti-competitive complaints
against google for making high-resolution stock photos easily
downloadable through google images um so they're saying this is a benefit
to all image owners globally we expect it to have a positive impact on traffic
to our site um less than 24 hours later oh this is fun there are already browser
extensions for chrome and firefox that bring the buttons back
however these extensions probably won't last long especially on chrome
the change won't stop people from uh using copyrighted images but it does add
a little bit more inconvenience unless you use james's method which yeah
is the right click on the image and select open image in new tab doesn't seem pretty i
love how that's james's method here's what i want to know if there's any
programmers out there watching that are sort of looking for a weekend project
that would make my life a little bit better um what i want to know is and
maybe this exists i just haven't been able to find it
um so copyright checker or something no
no there's something something entirely some important thing yeah well i don't
know i wanted to look for something important here's 10 important things to simplify your life copy link address
oh why did that work
what when does that not work no it usually has google's crap attached to it
oh the picture look at a picture look at a picture
oh is it only pictures i think it's pictures
what wow there's no important pictures
okay um and like if you copy that
if you copy the search no no that i'm not talking about i'm talking about when you just like right click yeah okay this
junk yeah okay can someone make an extension that removes all this like is
that possible because if you if you just mouse over it oh no it is it is the
stupid thing okay still how it must not be impossible is to open this search
with that thing extended if i remember correctly okay and there's another issue
in um you could maybe make something that copies the
click-through link like what's the thing that makes it like impossible to paste
things into hangouts i can't remember exactly what it is but you know that issue where if you try to paste if you
try to just link someone to something in hangouts you can't send them an exact
url it hang out suffice it
so there's like a couple things like that that are really frustrating how
about just stripping all that stuff out with an extension i would download the
crap out of that extension so you'd be among the like
very small handful of extensions
apparently there is a grease monkey or tamper monkey script for that i just
haven't been able to find it link cleaner and firefox apparently but i
don't want a firefox thing because hey quantum's
yeah quantum was really unstable the last time i tried it is it better
no i don't think so so okay as far as i can tell right now based on like a
machine by machine basis not even person by person just machine by machine
either quantum is super unstable or chroma super unstable
just one just one of them and it's on like a machine by machine basis
most of the machines that i have of course i just get randomly signed out
this happens every show i have no idea why um
on most machines that i have it's it's chrome but there's i've definitely heard
reports from people that they like can't use chrome because it just crashes all
the time which i've basically never seen or heard of that um but they use quantum
and it runs perfectly fine all the time on both my main machines quantum just
crashed and like full system lock because of quantum constantly
so i don't know i'm not sure
i would love to use firefox again but when it like significantly negatively
impacts my work productivity then i just i can't
all right there's some confusion around NVIDIA's
code names the original article is from
um digital trends apparently
NVIDIA may reveal dedicated touring
crypto mining cryptocurrency mining cards in march what
i find that very hard to believe
and this is even this is a little confusing given rumors about ampere
which is supposedly locked and loaded and ready to replace NVIDIA's current
gaming based cards on the pascal architecture
so right now it's pretty unclear what the crap is going on over there and they're
pretty good about keeping these things private um
so yeah i think everyone's initial thought was
that volta was gonna come to everything but this may be the generation that
NVIDIA not only so it's only recently even that they
started doing a different die even for the data center parts
but this may be the generation where we get a completely
different architecture for the data center parts
very interesting this is pretty huge
waymo gets okay for first driverless ride hailing service
wow alphabets waymo so that that google
parent company uh got a permit in late january from the arizona department of
transportation to operate as a transportation network company
this allows waymo's fleet of driverless chrysler pacifica minivans to pick up
and drop off paying riders in arizona through a smartphone app or website that
will compete with uber and lyft so
google alphabet that group kind of is directly competing with uber and lyft
now wow the service will initially have
thousands of cars prices could be competitive given those there's no
driver to pay and so last year they started a free
early rider program in the arizona capitol where hundreds of people used a
waymo app to hail and use cars within a hundred square mile radius in november
they began testing vehicles in parts of the city without a driver at the wheel i
kind of suspected that fast because that's a lot yeah well i and another
interesting thing here is my brain went to okay so it's got to be cheaper
because no driver and i was like okay but they cycle through the vehicles
really fast because it's a lot of wear on them to
drive literally all day but then they can almost definitely just move the
driverless tech from vehicle to vehicle
so they'll have to swap out like engines and vans and stuff
yeah they can probably just move over a
lot if not all of the automated driving tech
so that's interesting that could be way cheaper google could come in and just be
like this is the better option i mean
you don't have to worry about when you're in las vegas and you're going to las vegas convention center your driver
ends up being like super racist and super sexist you don't have to worry
about that that was incredible you heard about that i did hear about that so i'm
in um hold on a second hey max are you over there
cool can i tell people about your awful cabbie or do you want to tell people
about your awful cabbie okay okay so so basically
max is in this car okay and the driver
starts going off about here we go um
women drivers right asian drivers
uh canadians italians italians
there wasn't there one more french canadians
asians canadians women italians italians wasn't it young people young young women
especially 25 year olds explicitly yeah i remember
that managed managed i think there was more too racist sexist or otherwise
prejudiced comments about five things
all of which max is either is somewhere from 50 to 100
all in the span of what like like a 10 to 15 minute
drive like it was yeah it wasn't even and that only started like halfway
through like he was working through
he was on a mission and the best thing about this sort of um depending on your
perspective uh like if you appreciate uh the ironic
use of the word best the best thing about it
is that it was even pointed out
that max was oh yeah young female asian
canadian and half italian yeah
wow and like clearly no one in the car was
down with the conversation frosty universe says
sounds like he comments on youtube videos
yep sounds about right but yeah good observation
one of the terrifying things is if they start doing these ride
sharing apps they'll gather obscene amount of data of like how
driving works and automated driving and stuff so if this becomes a thing
it's going to massively advance all the rest of it grow exponentially yeah yeah
and like the transport industry is huge the amount of people that work
in the transport industry is huge and there's certain parts of the transport
industry that'll hold for a little while longer oh yeah these will still need to
be maintained yeah yep um and like
certain specific thing like very high like like black car
and limo might still have a person because being served by a person like
having someone come out and open your door and all that kind of stuff might be nice
um so people that are like super ballin might still pay for that um and very
specialized transport stuff i'm sure will still be covered
but a to b driving
someone says it's not hate speech if you hate everyone
well there's actually a couple of other pretty ridiculous comments here
first of all um max is a stupid who names a girl max
her name's maxine it's called a nickname
terrible i expect better from the twitch chat no
i don't never mind um have you ever called someone bob
their full name is very likely not bob yeah it's bobbert
all right and uh so moving on to uh what we've got on Floatplane this week i
think we're gonna there's someone watching named bobert i'm sorry bobby
down this show pretty quick here because i think i'm pretty much done
all right what do we got over there um oh we've got the homepod versus the
google home max i watched the very end of this
gold uh oh yes the very end is definitely gold uh we've got the job
posting that i think is actually up on youtube now so we're hiring again
i went snowboarding and the guy that got me my equipment was like
i want to apply i applied in the past i didn't make it it was for the writer's
catchment thing oh yeah he's like but i'm here i want to apply again i was like dude we're hiring
soon yeah there it is yeah uh this is a good video you guys are
gonna like it our review sample cpus cherry picked
viewers say epis up one
retail chip engineering sample which one
performs better and we did both Intel and AMD
have you talked about like the history of this though yeah oh yeah okay okay oh
like in the video yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah because it's happened
i don't know what the results of this are i haven't seen it but liquid metal
laptop cooling 20 degrees cooler that's really cool no
lies uh what the crap is floating point
performance everyone talks about it a lot of people
i'm not going to say most people you know what most people have no idea what it is
for into programming foreign um
handicap under 100 mostly gaming there's actually some really cool stuff
this is a credit card sized game console
that's literally in your in your wallet that's cool um what else we got here
that's most of it oh yeah oh 120 hertz pc gaming on a tv
still isn't up so that'll go up pretty soon
and i think that pretty much wraps it up all right so we will see you again next
week same bad time same bat channel bye
now to consume more baby yeah
so many people playing bingo yeah
all right please man when we don't have like
big technical strength yeah when we
