00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,400
Hi there.

2
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:20,760
Feeling cute, might delete later. It's an older meme, sir, but it checks out.

3
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:25,920
How you guys doing?

4
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:31,160
Happy Friday. You're so low and central right now.

5
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:35,160
I'm central. Sensual. Sensual. Yeah.

6
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:43,200
Always. Yeah. Whale Land coming up tomorrow.

7
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:47,120
Good hockey game today. In pretty good mood.

8
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,360
I actually thought I curbed my car right after the hockey game.

9
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:55,080
I hit my tire on the curb. I didn't know that at the time, but I pulled out of a parking spot and I didn't realize

10
00:00:55,080 --> 00:01:01,560
I was so close to the curb. And Colton was in the car with me and I was like, oh no, I think I just curbed my car.

11
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,800
And so I stopped and I get out and he's like, did you, I'm like, no, but honestly, I'm

12
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:11,320
in like a pretty good mood right now. I think I'd probably have been mostly okay with it.

13
00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:14,800
The game had just wrapped up.

14
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,520
We watched on the big LED wall.

15
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,720
It's big, maybe too big, especially for the quality of the CBC stream.

16
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:30,760
It's not good. Like Flo Plain CBC.

17
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,240
Have you watched Flo Plain videos on it? On CBC?

18
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:39,360
No, on the TV. Oh, no, I haven't, but I assure you, they would be better than what CBC is streaming

19
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,360
right now. Yeah. But it's hot ass.

20
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,360
Fun to check out. Like shockingly bad. Yeah.

21
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:50,520
It always is. It gets accentuated a bit when you show it on a screen that freaking big.

22
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,520
This is true. This is fair. Yeah.

23
00:01:54,280 --> 00:02:02,640
What was up with the ads? Um, yeah, I saw more playing an ad and then it would play a different ad.

24
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,360
That's the American ads. So it'd start playing the American ad and then they would like insert Canadian ones.

25
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:12,920
So every once in a while. But then what was weird to me is cause I thought you're not allowed to advertise prescription

26
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:20,720
drugs up here. And I was totally seeing spots for like we go V and, uh, yeah, maybe the example ones

27
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,680
are the American ads though. I'm pretty sure I saw we go V ad in Canada though.

28
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:30,960
I think there was, I think the whole stream was like powered by one of those two.

29
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,960
Yeah. I think it was we go V. Sure.

30
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:43,320
I wonder like what the overall impact is. Like I don't live in America and I don't live like in a particularly fat Canadian city.

31
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,680
So I don't have a ton of exposure to like the obesity epidemic.

32
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:52,400
It's massive. Daily. It's double the percentage of all Americans are on it.

33
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,720
Really? That's what I last heard.

34
00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:01,240
And like my understanding is they like lose a lot of weight on it, right?

35
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,200
Cause it's an, it's what it's an appetite suppressant basically, right? I don't remember.

36
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:12,640
Like you don't feel hungry or GLP want 12% of American adults are currently taking GLP

37
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:16,160
ones. So that's not one of the brands. It's like a category.

38
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,160
That's crazy. Whoa.

39
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,160
Nearly 12.

40
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:28,160
Whoa. All right. One in eight.

41
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:45,160
Hiobez says obesity, oh no, Crystal Fierre says obesity is a bullshit diagnosis.

42
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,160
Um, no.

43
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,160
What does that mean?

44
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,160
I don't know, but it's not correct.

45
00:03:55,160 --> 00:04:02,160
Um, you can, I mean, you can argue all day about where the line is for it, sure, but

46
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:09,160
there is absolutely no sort of mystery that, and this is not medical advice to be very

47
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,160
clear. Whoa. There's no debate left about that.

48
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,160
Like being very, very overweight has very negative health implications.

49
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,160
That's not really like a conversation. Yeah.

50
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:25,160
The other guy said I lost 60 pounds with minimum to no change in activity level.

51
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,160
Really? Wow. That's nuts.

52
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,160
But wait, like what is it though?

53
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:37,660
Like is it, um, I don't know.

54
00:04:37,660 --> 00:04:42,660
What does GLP-1 do?

55
00:04:42,660 --> 00:04:48,660
Regulates blood sugar and appetite by stimulating insulin release, suppressing glucagon, delaying

56
00:04:48,660 --> 00:04:51,660
stomach emptying, and increasing satiety.

57
00:04:51,660 --> 00:04:58,160
Oh, delaying stomach emptying. That's an interesting one. So it like makes you able to eat less then?

58
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:03,660
I guess. Yeah, there's some. That would naturally reduce your appetite as well.

59
00:05:03,660 --> 00:05:10,660
Right. Some lizard had saliva because it doesn't eat for like weeks or something, and they

60
00:05:10,660 --> 00:05:14,660
made a different version of, was it glucagon?

61
00:05:14,660 --> 00:05:20,660
Glucagon, um, which makes it last for much longer in the body.

62
00:05:20,660 --> 00:05:24,660
Right. GLP-1 is glucagon like peptide 1.

63
00:05:24,660 --> 00:05:30,660
Yeah, there's a bunch of different varieties of it. That's why there's like ozempic, which is one version, and there's a bunch of other

64
00:05:30,660 --> 00:05:38,160
different ones. Yeah. There's a pill version coming out now or something like that, which is another different version.

65
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,160
Crystal says, it is when they use your BMI. Yeah.

66
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,160
BMI is bullshit. Yeah. No question.

67
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,660
Yeah. Like I think, I think my BMI is that I'm obese. Probably.

68
00:05:47,660 --> 00:05:50,660
Hold on. BMI calculator. BMI is just, it's so outdated.

69
00:05:50,660 --> 00:05:55,660
No, no one serious uses BMI at this point. You got a bunch of muscle in them legs.

70
00:05:56,660 --> 00:06:01,660
BMI calculator for men, body mass index, diabetes, Canada.

71
00:06:02,660 --> 00:06:05,660
Okay. Weight. Shoot.

72
00:06:05,660 --> 00:06:10,660
I think I'm like 167 right now, 166, something like that.

73
00:06:10,660 --> 00:06:13,660
Okay. Height, five, six.

74
00:06:13,660 --> 00:06:16,660
BMI. Here we go, boys.

75
00:06:19,660 --> 00:06:20,660
Calculate.

76
00:06:22,660 --> 00:06:25,660
This is considered overweight. Yeah.

77
00:06:25,660 --> 00:06:28,660
So you overweight bitch.

78
00:06:28,660 --> 00:06:32,660
Yeah. Looks overweight to me.

79
00:06:34,660 --> 00:06:37,660
All right. That's all elsewhere.

80
00:06:40,660 --> 00:06:42,660
Just got a huge dumpy.

81
00:06:47,660 --> 00:06:49,660
Just massive dumpy.

82
00:06:50,660 --> 00:06:55,660
I do a whanty from a hard stool.

83
00:06:55,660 --> 00:07:00,660
None of it went to the stomach. It's like this razor chair is only the back.

84
00:07:00,660 --> 00:07:02,660
I'm sitting on the floor.

85
00:07:06,660 --> 00:07:07,660
Oh man.

86
00:07:09,660 --> 00:07:14,660
This is crazy. Emiker in Floatplane chat says I'm on Munjaro and it's a game changer.

87
00:07:14,660 --> 00:07:16,660
I've lost 40 kilos.

88
00:07:17,660 --> 00:07:20,660
Whoa. That is, that's like what?

89
00:07:20,660 --> 00:07:24,660
85 pounds. Somewhere around there. In seven months.

90
00:07:24,660 --> 00:07:27,660
Holy. That's like six dumps. That's crazy.

91
00:07:27,660 --> 00:07:33,660
Wow. And my brother-in-law works for Pharma says the next gen of these drugs will be the same, plus no impact on muscle mass.

92
00:07:34,660 --> 00:07:38,660
And apparently PS, BMI is still used by health professionals in the UK NHS.

93
00:07:38,660 --> 00:07:44,660
That's sad. BMI has been outdated for so friggin long.

94
00:07:45,660 --> 00:07:48,660
Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.

95
00:07:52,660 --> 00:07:54,660
I'm still worried about side effect stuff.

96
00:08:01,660 --> 00:08:05,660
Most measurements are now waste body fat or water displacement.

97
00:08:05,660 --> 00:08:11,660
So it sounds like my pinch test is actually the scientifically accepted way to know if I can have a snack.

98
00:08:13,660 --> 00:08:19,660
Actually, probably true. They have like little caliper things that measure with a pinch test.

99
00:08:19,660 --> 00:08:24,660
Yeah, there's dexa scans and stuff like that as well, but yeah.

100
00:08:24,660 --> 00:08:28,660
Ultimately, you can't fully tell unless you do an autopsy.

101
00:08:29,660 --> 00:08:33,660
How much fat you have? Really? Yeah.

102
00:08:33,660 --> 00:08:37,660
Can't they like, can't they like like zappity zap you and like figure out if there's fat stuff?

103
00:08:37,660 --> 00:08:43,660
And do a thing called the dexa scan and do lots of other things and none of it is perfectly accurate unless they do an autopsy.

104
00:08:43,660 --> 00:08:46,660
Really? Yeah. All right.

105
00:08:46,660 --> 00:08:48,660
Is that covered by an MSP?

106
00:08:51,660 --> 00:08:57,660
You can do it. Like usually what people do, if they like really want to try it, like if they, if they claim a percentage of people are going, no, you're lying.

107
00:08:57,660 --> 00:09:01,660
And then they really want to try to back it up is they just do all of them.

108
00:09:01,660 --> 00:09:08,660
But when they do all of them, they show that like they'll do a dexa scan and they'll do the caliper thing and they'll do the electra, whatever thing.

109
00:09:08,660 --> 00:09:13,660
And then they just try to like maybe average it out or something, but they'll all be different.

110
00:09:19,660 --> 00:09:21,660
Are there side effects from an autopsy?

111
00:09:23,660 --> 00:09:24,660
Technically, no.

112
00:09:29,660 --> 00:09:33,660
There's a lot of direct effects. Depends how well they put it back together, I guess.

113
00:09:34,660 --> 00:09:38,660
Panda says, y'all have to say sincere thank you.

114
00:09:38,660 --> 00:09:41,660
Didn't realize my card had expired and it canceled my subscription.

115
00:09:41,660 --> 00:09:44,660
You didn't make me pay the new rate when I signed up again.

116
00:09:45,660 --> 00:09:49,660
We got you. Got you, homie. We got you.

117
00:09:52,660 --> 00:09:54,660
All right. Should we do this thing?

118
00:09:56,660 --> 00:10:01,660
Feel like we should do this thing. By the way, I just want to make it like abundantly clear.

119
00:10:01,660 --> 00:10:08,660
Nothing we just said is health advice. Luke and I are not doctors of medicine at least that I know of.

120
00:10:09,660 --> 00:10:10,660
I mean,

121
00:10:17,660 --> 00:10:19,660
I mean, I've got this. I'm a computer doctor.

122
00:10:22,660 --> 00:10:24,660
You were temporarily a computer doctor.

123
00:10:27,660 --> 00:10:37,660
I'm not proud to have passed the A plus exam,

124
00:10:37,660 --> 00:10:41,660
but I am proud to have challenged it without studying at all.

125
00:10:42,660 --> 00:10:45,660
Especially because so much of it is just like... There's some crap questions.

126
00:10:45,660 --> 00:10:47,660
Random BS? Yeah.

127
00:10:52,660 --> 00:10:56,660
How many LTX hoodies did you have left over or are more being produced?

128
00:10:56,660 --> 00:11:00,660
Really good question. A lot and no more not being produced.

129
00:11:00,660 --> 00:11:04,660
This is it. This is the last shot.

130
00:11:05,660 --> 00:11:06,660
It's felt infinite.

131
00:11:09,660 --> 00:11:12,660
I was planning on asking you on the show,

132
00:11:12,660 --> 00:11:15,660
how many of these freaking things do we have? Luke, I have...

133
00:11:15,660 --> 00:11:18,660
And then I read the note that this is the last run and I was like, okay.

134
00:11:18,660 --> 00:11:22,660
I have felt the infiniteness more strongly than you have,

135
00:11:22,660 --> 00:11:27,660
I assure you. We are still cleaning up inventory mistakes

136
00:11:27,660 --> 00:11:30,660
from years ago sometimes.

137
00:11:32,660 --> 00:11:35,660
The confusing thing to me is like, how many more of these sweaters did we have

138
00:11:35,660 --> 00:11:39,660
than attendees to the event? Because we must have...

139
00:11:40,660 --> 00:11:42,660
That math must be off.

140
00:11:44,660 --> 00:11:50,660
We've ran so many versions of this. No, I think it's more that we did over order

141
00:11:50,660 --> 00:11:52,660
because of minimum order quantities because it was specially dyed.

142
00:11:53,660 --> 00:11:56,660
This is not an off the shelf garment. This is our fabric.

143
00:11:56,660 --> 00:12:00,660
This is our dye pattern. And then the major issue

144
00:12:00,660 --> 00:12:04,660
was that we did the first run of printing

145
00:12:04,660 --> 00:12:06,660
for the LTX logo when it was crooked.

146
00:12:10,660 --> 00:12:14,660
I believe what's under this cat patch

147
00:12:14,660 --> 00:12:20,660
is a crooked LTX logo. So I think we ended up having to get more or something.

148
00:12:20,660 --> 00:12:24,660
It was a whole thing. And I'm hazy on the details at this point.

149
00:12:24,660 --> 00:12:27,660
It's also fun and cool and I'm not against it.

150
00:12:27,660 --> 00:12:30,660
It's a cool hoodie. I think we could have just called it the error hoodie

151
00:12:30,660 --> 00:12:34,660
and just sold it and it would have been fine. I didn't want LTX branding on something

152
00:12:34,660 --> 00:12:37,660
that people didn't go to LTX to get.

153
00:12:41,660 --> 00:12:44,660
You don't sell the concert t-shirt to people

154
00:12:44,660 --> 00:12:47,660
who didn't go to the concert. It just doesn't work that way.

155
00:12:47,660 --> 00:12:51,660
Because otherwise it devalues

156
00:12:51,660 --> 00:12:54,660
the ones that people made the journey to go and get.

157
00:12:54,660 --> 00:12:57,660
That's true. They're especially cool when you get them from there.

158
00:12:57,660 --> 00:13:01,660
But we would never just put them in a dumpster.

159
00:13:01,660 --> 00:13:05,660
So we had to find a third path.

160
00:13:05,660 --> 00:13:09,660
Because that's what they would normally do with that is they would just ship it to Africa

161
00:13:09,660 --> 00:13:12,660
or they would just destroy it, put ink all over it or whatever.

162
00:13:12,660 --> 00:13:16,660
That's the standard clothing industry way.

163
00:13:18,660 --> 00:13:22,660
All right.

164
00:13:22,660 --> 00:13:25,660
We sold LTX, LTX merch to virtual visitors.

165
00:13:25,660 --> 00:13:28,660
Yes, we did. But we're not going to do it now

166
00:13:28,660 --> 00:13:31,660
because clearly that didn't happen.

167
00:13:33,660 --> 00:13:37,660
Wait, did I say merch? You know what? I would make the argument this was merch.

168
00:13:37,660 --> 00:13:41,660
And LTX hoodie would be merch. I'll allow it.

169
00:13:43,660 --> 00:13:46,660
I don't think based on your arguments that makes any sense.

170
00:13:46,660 --> 00:13:49,660
Why not? Because it's our standard garment.

171
00:13:49,660 --> 00:13:52,660
So it's of the quality that we typically try to push.

172
00:13:52,660 --> 00:13:55,660
Yeah, but I think it was more expensive. Was it?

173
00:13:55,660 --> 00:14:00,660
Yeah, which is one of the characteristics to me of merch is it's more about having a souvenir or keepsake

174
00:14:00,660 --> 00:14:06,660
or supporting an artist or brand than it is about purely quality of the garment.

175
00:14:12,660 --> 00:14:15,660
Hockey on the video wall was questionable. Really big.

176
00:14:17,660 --> 00:14:19,660
Did you watch it there again?

177
00:14:20,660 --> 00:14:23,660
I watched about half of the women's game.

178
00:14:23,660 --> 00:14:26,660
I watched, yeah, I watched this morning.

179
00:14:26,660 --> 00:14:30,660
So I watched the quarter semis and I'm going to watch the finals for the men's

180
00:14:30,660 --> 00:14:34,660
and then I watched the finals for women's. And sorry, winners were...

181
00:14:34,660 --> 00:14:38,660
6'10". Be there or be square.

182
00:14:41,660 --> 00:14:51,660
Definitely not swag, Anglis. So swag has become a word that means like concert merchandise,

183
00:14:51,660 --> 00:14:54,660
but it's short for stuff we all get.

184
00:14:54,660 --> 00:14:59,660
It's supposed to be free stuff, like promotional t-shirts and stuff.

185
00:14:59,660 --> 00:15:03,660
So swag has just... It's one of those words like scam

186
00:15:03,660 --> 00:15:06,660
that has completely lost its original meaning

187
00:15:06,660 --> 00:15:09,660
and now just is a synonym for another word.

188
00:15:09,660 --> 00:15:15,660
So we don't need that. What we need is a word that means what it actually meant.

189
00:15:17,660 --> 00:15:19,660
This is going to be a good show.

190
00:15:21,660 --> 00:15:24,660
Torpedo bench. Oh my God, swag was an acronym.

191
00:15:24,660 --> 00:15:28,660
Yes. Luke, are you still super into swag at cons and expos?

192
00:15:28,660 --> 00:15:32,660
I would be. Yeah, if there was any. There isn't any anymore.

193
00:15:32,660 --> 00:15:36,660
Yeah, like where would you even go to get free stuff? No idea.

194
00:15:36,660 --> 00:15:40,660
It's dead everywhere. I'm not bringing LTX back.

195
00:15:40,660 --> 00:15:43,660
I don't know where you're going with this.

196
00:15:43,660 --> 00:15:46,660
Good try though. I might want to save this for the show. Preempted so early.

197
00:15:46,660 --> 00:15:53,660
I went to a con and it made me so pissed off

198
00:15:53,660 --> 00:15:57,660
because of how much better LTX was ran.

199
00:15:57,660 --> 00:16:01,660
Like it's not even sort of close.

200
00:16:01,660 --> 00:16:04,660
It was insane. Yeah.

201
00:16:04,660 --> 00:16:08,660
Like you could maybe sell event organization at this point.

202
00:16:08,660 --> 00:16:14,660
Nope, that's the worst part of it. Yeah, but you could sell it and you don't have to do it

203
00:16:14,660 --> 00:16:17,660
because you have employees.

204
00:16:17,660 --> 00:16:22,660
Yeah, but those employees could do literally anything else.

205
00:16:22,660 --> 00:16:25,660
They'd probably be happier.

206
00:16:25,660 --> 00:16:28,660
People were so miserable about it.

207
00:16:28,660 --> 00:16:31,660
Employee happiness does not make money line go up.

208
00:16:31,660 --> 00:16:34,660
No, it really doesn't. But LTX doesn't make money line go up either.

209
00:16:34,660 --> 00:16:36,660
Don't worry about that part.

210
00:16:38,660 --> 00:16:41,660
Ignore that part. Yeah.

211
00:16:41,660 --> 00:16:45,660
Don't worry about that.

212
00:16:45,660 --> 00:16:48,660
Swag was used in Australia in the 1800s

213
00:16:48,660 --> 00:16:53,660
and apparently meant sleeping bag. But do we all get one for free because...

214
00:16:53,660 --> 00:16:58,660
That would be fine. That would be fine. Any thoughts on the Discord persona hack?

215
00:16:58,660 --> 00:17:01,660
Wait, what? Did it already happen?

216
00:17:01,660 --> 00:17:06,660
No, is that the older one? Two hours ago.

217
00:17:06,660 --> 00:17:09,660
Hackers exposed Discord age verification system issue

218
00:17:09,660 --> 00:17:12,660
after persona front-end code left wide open.

219
00:17:12,660 --> 00:17:15,660
Two hours ago.

220
00:17:15,660 --> 00:17:19,660
No, I don't have particular thoughts on that other than,

221
00:17:19,660 --> 00:17:22,660
good job.

222
00:17:22,660 --> 00:17:25,660
I wish I could shake your hand.

223
00:17:25,660 --> 00:17:29,660
I really do. Fantastic work.

224
00:17:29,660 --> 00:17:32,660
Oh, you're a legend. Actually, hold on.

225
00:17:32,660 --> 00:17:38,660
I'm having second thoughts on the title for WAN Show. Should we lean into Xbox Boss?

226
00:17:38,660 --> 00:17:44,660
Gone. Um...

227
00:17:44,660 --> 00:17:51,660
Ooh.

228
00:17:51,660 --> 00:17:55,660
I feel like it was hack to prove a point. Yeah.

229
00:17:55,660 --> 00:17:58,660
For sure. Yeah.

230
00:17:58,660 --> 00:18:03,660
Definitely. To be fair, a lot of things are.

231
00:18:03,660 --> 00:18:07,660
But yeah, I think this one, definitely.

232
00:18:07,660 --> 00:18:11,660
Xbox thing. What's the current one? The resolution thing?

233
00:18:11,660 --> 00:18:14,660
Yeah. Gamers overwhelmingly prefer fake resolution.

234
00:18:14,660 --> 00:18:17,660
Versus...

235
00:18:17,660 --> 00:18:20,660
Xbox more like Xbox.

236
00:18:20,660 --> 00:18:25,660
Phil Spencer, no longer Phil's...

237
00:18:25,660 --> 00:18:31,660
Phil's for unemployment? Phil's for unemployment dance.

238
00:18:31,660 --> 00:18:40,660
Savage.

239
00:18:40,660 --> 00:18:43,660
Are we happy with this or no? With what?

240
00:18:43,660 --> 00:18:47,660
The Phil Spencer thing. I feel like that's a topic for the show.

241
00:18:47,660 --> 00:18:50,660
Yeah, probably. You know what? Let's just run with it.

242
00:18:50,660 --> 00:18:53,660
Let's go for it. Let's do this thing. With resolution?

243
00:18:53,660 --> 00:18:56,660
Yeah. All right. All right, let's do it.

244
00:18:56,660 --> 00:19:00,660
Dan, I'm just going to get you to punch it. I don't think there's any reason for me to do it.

245
00:19:00,660 --> 00:19:04,660
Okay.

246
00:19:04,660 --> 00:19:10,660
By the way, when are we going to start simultaneously streaming on the other channel?

247
00:19:10,660 --> 00:19:13,660
I do not know. Should we just do it?

248
00:19:13,660 --> 00:19:16,660
Literally whenever you want. Whenever I'm told to do it. Should we just do it now?

249
00:19:16,660 --> 00:19:20,660
He would just have to receive a streaming key from it. I mean, I could do that.

250
00:19:20,660 --> 00:19:24,660
And then just put it in the... Well, he wouldn't, I guess.

251
00:19:24,660 --> 00:19:27,660
We just have to put it in the panel. I can do that.

252
00:19:27,660 --> 00:19:30,660
Or you could. I have access to that now.

253
00:19:30,660 --> 00:19:34,660
And we decided we're going to do it on here? Sure.

254
00:19:34,660 --> 00:19:41,660
We might want to like...

255
00:19:41,660 --> 00:19:45,660
I mean, yeah.

256
00:19:45,660 --> 00:19:49,660
What could go wrong? What could go wrong? I feel like it makes sense.

257
00:19:49,660 --> 00:19:53,660
A lot of sense. But we might want to change the channel name at some point.

258
00:19:53,660 --> 00:19:56,660
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay.

259
00:19:56,660 --> 00:19:59,660
We have a bunch of stuff. Okay.

260
00:19:59,660 --> 00:20:03,660
Are we both filling in the same thing? Review and accept.

261
00:20:03,660 --> 00:20:06,660
Terms and conditions for going live? Yeah.

262
00:20:06,660 --> 00:20:09,660
Okay. We're both doing exactly the same thing. I'm not able to put it in.

263
00:20:09,660 --> 00:20:12,660
So you're going to have to do that.

264
00:20:12,660 --> 00:20:18,660
Nokia, other channel. Does this mean I'm working twice now? Well, you could copy-paste.

265
00:20:18,660 --> 00:20:25,660
Just an idea. I wouldn't recommend redoing the whole thing.

266
00:20:26,660 --> 00:20:32,660
You know, don't work harder.

267
00:20:32,660 --> 00:20:38,660
What are your thoughts on the YouTube outage? And what can YouTube learn from the flow plane?

268
00:20:38,660 --> 00:20:41,660
Nothing. For sure nothing.

269
00:20:41,660 --> 00:20:45,660
I guarantee you, literally nothing at all.

270
00:20:45,660 --> 00:20:51,660
And what are my thoughts on it? Dang.

271
00:20:51,660 --> 00:20:54,660
That sucks. Yeah. I saw it.

272
00:20:54,660 --> 00:20:57,660
There was like a thread on Reddit where they're like, Oh my God. I can't.

273
00:20:57,660 --> 00:21:01,160
I can't believe what they're going to say is going to be crazy because of flow plane.

274
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,660
It's like we're not even in the same.

275
00:21:05,660 --> 00:21:08,660
I don't even know if I'm a grain of sand on their beach.

276
00:21:08,660 --> 00:21:16,660
You know, I think you could be a piece of like dog on their shoe.

277
00:21:16,660 --> 00:21:19,660
I think it's too substantial. They'd care too much.

278
00:21:19,660 --> 00:21:22,660
No, that doesn't work. You'd be upset about it.

279
00:21:22,660 --> 00:21:26,660
It would be big and important enough to be upset about.

280
00:21:26,660 --> 00:21:29,660
It was just, it's not true. Okay.

281
00:21:29,660 --> 00:21:33,660
You could be, you could be a piece of dog on Mars.

282
00:21:33,660 --> 00:21:36,660
There we go.

283
00:21:36,660 --> 00:21:39,660
That works. Hmm.

284
00:21:39,660 --> 00:21:44,660
Interesting. Actually, anyway, that's too interesting because then some rover is going to find

285
00:21:44,660 --> 00:21:48,660
it and they're going to be like what? And then Google would care.

286
00:21:48,660 --> 00:21:51,660
No, a rover would find it and go.

287
00:21:52,660 --> 00:21:55,660
Come on. That's pretty fun.

288
00:21:55,660 --> 00:22:01,660
I have to say the, the, the, the like physical animation of your face and the

289
00:22:01,660 --> 00:22:06,660
sniffing noises was like way too good.

290
00:22:06,660 --> 00:22:13,660
It was a, it was a making kids laugh hack that I picked up from someone at some

291
00:22:13,660 --> 00:22:19,660
point, but this is going to sound a lot weirder, especially in the context of, you

292
00:22:19,660 --> 00:22:23,660
know, Joe Biden smelling kids or whatever, you know, whatever that all was.

293
00:22:23,660 --> 00:22:29,660
But like with my kids, if I like get all up in their business and I like go all

294
00:22:29,660 --> 00:22:32,660
like, like, like dog sniff, they can't help it.

295
00:22:32,660 --> 00:22:35,660
It'd be funny. They just, they lose it. Of course it would be funny.

296
00:22:35,660 --> 00:22:38,660
It's so funny. If you have, if you have any kids in your life, your kids, your niece or nephew or

297
00:22:38,660 --> 00:22:42,660
whatever that you like to kind of play around in rough house with, try the dog

298
00:22:42,660 --> 00:22:48,660
sniffing trick, I guarantee you it gets a laugh and they're taken so off guard that

299
00:22:48,660 --> 00:22:53,660
it's like, cause like in the air, if you, if you get in their neck, it like tickles

300
00:22:53,660 --> 00:22:56,660
too, especially if you have like a beard.

301
00:22:56,660 --> 00:23:03,660
So if I, like, if I get my youngest going with this, she's like, if I don't have

302
00:23:03,660 --> 00:23:07,660
something in my ear, like I could probably suffer hearing damage, how loud she'll be

303
00:23:07,660 --> 00:23:10,660
like laughing and screaming.

304
00:23:10,660 --> 00:23:16,660
Glow says my partner does this to me, can confirm it works.

305
00:23:16,660 --> 00:23:19,660
My kids would probably go to WTF dad, but they're teens.

306
00:23:19,660 --> 00:23:24,660
Yeah. I mean, yeah, that's probably a little, well, it might work all the better.

307
00:23:24,660 --> 00:23:32,660
What the heck?

308
00:23:32,660 --> 00:23:35,660
Children's humor. I keep clicking it. Accept it.

309
00:23:35,660 --> 00:23:40,660
It won't. I meant the, the, the audience has, has not really decided.

310
00:23:40,660 --> 00:23:44,660
I'll get comments that people love my laugh and I'll get comments.

311
00:23:44,660 --> 00:23:49,660
People hate my laugh and I'll get comments that people said I laugh too easily at things

312
00:23:49,660 --> 00:23:53,660
I maintain. I just prefer to be a jovial person.

313
00:23:53,660 --> 00:23:57,660
And if something's funny, I'll laugh at it. I don't see any sophistication.

314
00:23:57,660 --> 00:24:02,660
I don't see any sophistication in, in not laughing at things that are funny.

315
00:24:02,660 --> 00:24:07,660
So I just don't care. Celebrities who refuse to be photographed smiling drive me.

316
00:24:07,660 --> 00:24:10,660
Yeah. It's like, you know, it's just lame.

317
00:24:10,660 --> 00:24:16,660
Yeah. Like whatever dude. And the whole thing where models, what did you just say?

318
00:24:16,660 --> 00:24:19,660
Did you say kill yourself? No.

319
00:24:19,660 --> 00:24:24,660
I said get over yourself. Oh my God. Sick Luke is just.

320
00:24:24,660 --> 00:24:27,660
Wow. See, it's funny. I'm going to laugh.

321
00:24:27,660 --> 00:24:30,660
I'm going to laugh at that. My turn to save the company. I didn't even say it.

322
00:24:30,660 --> 00:24:35,660
It sounded like you did. I don't think I'm the only one who got that.

323
00:24:35,660 --> 00:24:38,660
Did you hear that? No. I heard.

324
00:24:38,660 --> 00:24:41,660
I heard what you thought you said. Yeah. I think this is you.

325
00:24:41,660 --> 00:24:44,660
All right. All right. Oh man.

326
00:24:44,660 --> 00:24:47,660
Giggle maxing. Yeah. There you go.

327
00:24:47,660 --> 00:24:50,660
To instead of saying. Yeah. Yeah.

328
00:24:50,660 --> 00:24:53,660
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

329
00:24:53,660 --> 00:24:56,660
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

330
00:24:56,660 --> 00:24:59,660
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

331
00:24:59,660 --> 00:25:05,660
Yeah. Instead of saying be jovial, I'll cater to the young ins and say I giggle max.

332
00:25:05,660 --> 00:25:10,660
All right. All right. I'm a little bit like your hope posting bro.

333
00:25:10,660 --> 00:25:14,340
Hope posting. All right. It seems like it's pretty split.

334
00:25:14,340 --> 00:25:17,660
Most people heard what you said, but some heard what I said, what I heard.

335
00:25:17,660 --> 00:25:21,160
I think people heard what you heard because you said it. You think so?

336
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:26,160
Mm hmm. I think it was suggestion. Let's just say I heard what both of you wanted me to hear.

337
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,660
All right. Now that was a goodverage. All right.

338
00:25:30,660 --> 00:25:34,160
Elliott JD says is the background to do with Chinese New Year?

339
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:38,140
No, no, it's Valentines Day. Okay.

340
00:25:38,140 --> 00:25:41,660
Belated. I'm.

341
00:25:41,660 --> 00:25:45,020
I'm good.

342
00:25:45,020 --> 00:25:48,880
I'm sure. Yeah.

343
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,160
Yeah. Exactly. Sounds good.

344
00:25:52,160 --> 00:26:04,440
to do this thing. Is it black history month? I can never keep

345
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:12,040
track of all the months. There's a lot. What month is black history month? February. Yeah,

346
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:20,640
okay. There you go. Yeah, sure. That's what we were going for. Yeah, definitely.

347
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:32,320
I was like, I'm not ready yet. I don't even have my non-sponsor compliant laptop out of the frame.

348
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:38,960
All right. All right. Let's do this thing. Let's do this thing. Yeah, yeah, let's do it. Hit it.

349
00:26:38,960 --> 00:27:09,160
Hit it. Welcome to the web show. It's the year of the horse, baby, and we got a great show for you guys

350
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:19,200
today. There's big changes at Xbox after nearly 40 years. Phil Spencer is out at Microsoft. So

351
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:27,400
we'll be talking about that. We'll also be talking about how gamers apparently overwhelmingly prefer

352
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:37,040
DLSS over FSR and in some cases over native. Could that be right? What else we got today?

353
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,880
If you didn't like GPUs being up, if you didn't like RAM being up, well, you're not going to like

354
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:48,760
hard drives being up. Hard drive capacity for Western Digital is sold out for 2026. That's

355
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:56,960
more sold out than Linus from Linus Tech Tips. Got them. I don't know. Oh, come on. Come on.

356
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:01,880
There's no way Colton's team has everything sold out through the end of 2028. I wouldn't be surprised

357
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:08,640
if they're close. There's no way. Don't make me call them. And speaking. No, I don't have a

358
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:14,600
transition for this. Google suddenly carries about IP theft. What an applies to them, I guess.

359
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:16,640
And no one else.

360
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:42,720
The show is brought to you today by our when takeover partner, Thoram. Do I just say their name

361
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:47,200
more times? Thoram? Thoram? Also our rap partner, Dbrand, our laptop partner, Razor, and our chair

362
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:53,440
partner also Razor. That was only three. One more. There's one more. You're going to say fourth

363
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,920
time. Laptop chair and rap. Thoram. Thoram again. That's too many. That's seven. That's too many.

364
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:06,880
Take one back. There you go. There. We're back. We removed one of the Thoram logos.

365
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaking of removals. Yeah. Big changes at Xbox. Yeah. After nearly 40 years with Microsoft,

366
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:26,160
including 12 years leading the company's gaming efforts, Xbox chief Phil Spencer is retiring.

367
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:32,720
Now, before we go any further, Luke, I think, asked the big question on all of our minds before

368
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:38,480
the show started, and I wasn't sure what to say. I don't remember how I phrase it, but like, what

369
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:45,120
do we think about this? Is this good? Is this bad? Are we mad? Are we mad? I mean, 12 years at Xbox

370
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:53,280
oversaw a lot of Xbox, a lot of really good. And a lot of really bad. A lot of really, really,

371
00:29:54,160 --> 00:30:00,240
really not good. Unfortunately, mostly really bad. Well, especially if we factor in like the

372
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:05,920
recency bias of it. Yeah. Things haven't been. That's the thing that I'm struggling with. Yeah.

373
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:12,160
Things haven't been good lately. But. What Halo game came out 12 years ago. But give me a second

374
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:17,920
here. Give me a second here because as much as things have been kind of bad for the last little

375
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:24,640
while, things might get worse. So let's get through the rest of the, you know, the notes here.

376
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:29,680
CEO Sacha Nadella announced to the departure in a memo to all staff earlier today, thanking Phil

377
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:35,760
for his extraordinary leadership and partnership. Phil Spencer will remain in an advisory role

378
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:40,000
through the summer to support the transition. And Spencer's time at Microsoft saw him working on

379
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:46,640
everything from in Carta. Now that's a name I've not heard in a while. Remember the Encyclopedia on

380
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:53,440
CD-ROM and MS works in the early years to the two and a half billion dollar purchase of Mojang

381
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:58,480
Studios in 2014, which seemed crazy at the time, but ended up being like the smartest thing maybe

382
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:05,680
ever. And their 75 billion dollar acquisition of Activision Blizzard in 2023. Xbox president

383
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:11,120
Sarah Bond is also leaving the software giant to begin a new chapter, according to Spencer.

384
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:21,200
Asha Sharma, current president of the core AI product, will be taking over as CEO of

385
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:32,160
Microsoft Gaming. Look on your face. You look like you smell a turd. You look like somebody

386
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:37,520
smeared dog s*** on your microphone and you just caught a whiff of it. It's just

387
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:45,600
Sharma left a marketing role at Microsoft in 2013, returning in 2024 and away from Microsoft spent

388
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:53,360
time as Meta's VP of product and engineering and later as Instacart's COO. The Verge notes that

389
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:59,760
Sharma is not a gamer like Phil Spencer, but does have consumer experience that should help with

390
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:08,240
leading such a large division of Microsoft. Okay, the memo. Okay, just calm down, calm down.

391
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:12,560
I'm reading the internal memo. In an internal memo, let me, let me read the memo. You don't read so good.

392
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:24,880
That is rude. In a 10 journal M no, Sharma, sorry, I'm trying to do it like you.

393
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:40,480
Oh my God. In an internal memo, Sharma stated, we will celebrate our roots with a renewed

394
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:45,920
commitment to Xbox, starting with console, which has shaped who we are. I assume the console.

395
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:52,160
It connects us to the players and fans who invest in Xbox and to the developers who build

396
00:32:52,240 --> 00:33:00,720
ambitious experiences for it. Microsoft's video game revenue dropped by about 10%

397
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,880
year to year in the December quarter compared to a 17% increase company wide,

398
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,800
but it doesn't appear that Sharma will be pushing for a short-term fix stating,

399
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:17,680
as monetization and AI evolve and influence this future, we will not chase short-term efficiency

400
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:26,240
or flood our ecosystem with soulless AI slop games are and always will be art crafted by humans

401
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:30,080
and created with the most innovative technology provided by us.

402
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:36,160
Matt booty, previously head of Microsoft's gaming studios has been promoted to executive

403
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:40,960
vice president and chief content officer under Sharma. So

404
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:50,480
huge AI background. I always liked that Phil Spencer was legitimately a gamer.

405
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:56,480
Yeah, I thought it was good. While I did think there was a lot of missteps,

406
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:02,480
the naming of the consoles was actually so insanely bad that I think it genuinely

407
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:08,640
significantly negatively impacted sales. And the brand, it just makes you look like

408
00:34:08,720 --> 00:34:14,560
incompetent dunderheads. Yeah. And like we knew this from Wii U when like a massive percentage

409
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:18,800
of people thought it was just like some add-on thing for the Wii and didn't realize it was

410
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:23,680
a new console, like you actually need to name things properly. And they just didn't forever,

411
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:29,360
which was crazy. The wildest part is whether it's within the same vertical or even sometimes

412
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:36,800
within the same company, when it's so clear by the overwhelming incredible success of simply

413
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:42,560
named products that are easy to understand their positioning within the product stack, see

414
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:52,400
PlayStation one, two, three, four, five simple iPhone. Okay, there's been a little bit of confusion

415
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:57,040
in there, but generally speaking, for the most part, they've stayed true. Yeah, we got the

416
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:03,760
three GS in there and we got the X 10, whatever you want to call that. There's been the odd weird

417
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:07,120
one. They would deviate a little bit here or there, but they'd come back. But in general,

418
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:15,680
we come back to higher number, more better, easy to understand. And then you'll have Microsoft

419
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:22,240
with just the most bass-acquards naming scheme that I think probably exists in technology.

420
00:35:22,240 --> 00:35:28,160
And then even Apple themselves, where you have this completely indecipherable iPad naming scheme,

421
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:38,160
for instance, where we start getting into AJ 129 model year. Just put a number on it,

422
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:42,080
my God, just put a number on it, please. Just tell me what generation of product this is.

423
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:48,880
And yeah, sorry, I hijacked your point. So there's been missteps right now.

424
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,320
There's been a considerable amount of missteps, but at the same time,

425
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:58,240
it would be really reassuring when like you'd hear that story of people that were like trying

426
00:35:58,240 --> 00:36:05,520
to camp him and fall out 76. And he'd just like fight back. It was like, okay.

427
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:13,440
I could kind of feel like he's one of us. Yeah. A little bit. And it did feel like

428
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:17,520
while there were missteps, he was probably trying to steer in the right direction.

429
00:36:18,240 --> 00:36:24,560
I think maybe. I mean, there's been some big. There's been some really big missteps.

430
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:32,160
Really big missteps. I mean, I don't think Game Pass is ultimately turning into what we were sold.

431
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:39,680
We were sold an incredible value. And I think what we're getting is you'll own nothing and be happy.

432
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:45,120
Can I make a really weird take here? I mean, I don't think Microsoft intended Game Pass to be what

433
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:54,800
it is now. I think they wanted it to stay cheaper. I think they wanted it to do a lot of things.

434
00:36:54,800 --> 00:37:00,160
And I think user behavior wasn't exactly what they expected. I think developer behavior wasn't

435
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:05,440
exactly what they expected. And I think their franchises didn't do what they expected.

436
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:11,360
That's fair. I think they thought. See Starfield. Starfield.

437
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:18,720
Like I looked into what game released the year Phil Spencer took over.

438
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,560
It was Master Chief Collection. So it's like, okay, that's not really fair.

439
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:28,160
Terrible, horrible, legendarily bad launch. But same year he joined. I don't know.

440
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:35,280
The next one was Halo 5 Guardians. I played that here. I don't know if you remember that.

441
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:41,520
But I had to do a controller review of like the first elite controller, I think.

442
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:46,720
Oh, okay. Yeah. So I went to Willow and I rented it and then used some Xbox we had here. And I played it

443
00:37:46,720 --> 00:37:51,440
up in the conference room upstairs over like a weekend just to like play the heck out of the

444
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:58,640
controller. And I remember finishing that campaign and just being like, oh,

445
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:03,280
as like a massive fan of the first three games.

446
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:08,160
Halo died because Bungie left, not Phil Spencer, IMO. Sure.

447
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,600
If you look back at the history of what happened there,

448
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:18,000
they hired people that didn't like Halo intentionally.

449
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:24,240
Yeah, it's kind of like, I mean, and I hate to beat this dead horse, but it's kind of like

450
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:28,400
what happened to Star Wars. It's almost exactly like what happened to Star Wars,

451
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:32,000
because Star Wars did the same thing. They intentionally hired people that did not like

452
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,600
the franchise. They did that because they're like, we're trying to make something different.

453
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,760
That doesn't, you can make something different while hiring people that like the franchise.

454
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:47,760
Here's my worry here. So I mean, Phil Spencer's legacy is absolutely complicated.

455
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:53,600
Very complicated. He oversaw incredible innovation. I mean, like let's not overlook some of the

456
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:58,320
really cool stuff that Microsoft did. They were at the cutting edge when it came to accessible

457
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:04,560
technology for gaming. Like genuinely really amazing controllers. I mean, I cannot sing

458
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:12,240
Microsoft's praises loud enough for what they did to make gaming more accessible for people with

459
00:39:12,240 --> 00:39:17,920
physical disabilities and other challenges. And they really pushed the envelope in a way that

460
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:25,920
couldn't possibly have paid off in money. Maybe it was, you know, the cynic in me goes, well,

461
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,840
maybe they only did it because, you know, they were hoping for the positive press around the

462
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:36,960
brand or whatever. But I don't actually think so because it seemed like a genuine earnest effort

463
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:41,920
to make gaming for everyone. And I just, I thought that was so incredibly cool.

464
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:46,320
So based. I don't want to take anything away.

465
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,920
And that cost a lot of money. Oh, real money, actual real money.

466
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:58,720
Yeah. But then there's no question that they just couldn't. It's like they had a multiple

467
00:39:58,720 --> 00:40:02,320
franchises. They closed studios that made amazing games.

468
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:09,040
It's like the it's like the it's like the driver was using one of their controllers with drift.

469
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:13,040
And they just couldn't aim anywhere but down at their own feet sometimes, you know, like you just,

470
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:21,360
they couldn't stop themselves from owning themselves. I'm genuinely not confident that I could get the Xbox models in the right order right now.

471
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,600
Really? I'm not 100% confident that I could.

472
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,960
I mean, that's not that's not that hard. You've got Xbox.

473
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,320
Yeah. Xbox 360. Yeah. Xbox one.

474
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,440
Okay. Okay. And then what? Xbox one X.

475
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,680
Is that true? And Xbox one S. Okay. Yeah. And then is it serious?

476
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:43,120
And then you've got Xbox series S and series S.

477
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:46,560
Yeah. Okay. I think, did I get them all?

478
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:52,000
I think I got them all. I would have forgotten Xbox one, but I mean, if I saw the names, I think I would have gotten

479
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:56,000
that in order if that was correct. Yeah. Like it's comically stupid, but I mean,

480
00:40:58,720 --> 00:41:06,640
anyway, sorry, back to your point. As complicated as his legacy is for exactly the same reason that, you know, I don't love

481
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:14,000
non-Star Wars people being in charge of Star Wars. Yeah. And I don't love non-silicon people being in charge of Intel.

482
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:18,720
Yeah. I don't love non-gaming people being in charge of gaming.

483
00:41:18,720 --> 00:41:22,960
And I'm not saying there's no chance. I'm just concerned.

484
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:26,400
Well, it's extremely concerning. I do really appreciate that one line.

485
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:34,080
We're not going to fill it with AI slot. Coming from the AI side of things, they needed to say that.

486
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,600
Okay. They probably got some PR thing that was like, hey, you need to say this.

487
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:42,560
But hear me out. In that same sentence, right in that same sentence.

488
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,840
As monetization and AI evolve and influence this future. No, no, no, no, hold on.

489
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:50,880
This, no, no, just this sentence. Games aren't always will be art crafted by humans.

490
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,680
Okay. Doing really good here.

491
00:41:56,160 --> 00:42:01,520
And created with the most innovative technology provided by us.

492
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,920
What innovative technology?

493
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:09,120
Okay. Hear me out.

494
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:17,440
You know, I've noticed a problem.

495
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:23,760
I like watching a bunch of YouTube and I that one's for the millennials.

496
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:31,200
Yeah. Yeah. That was pretty good. I like watching a bunch of YouTube and I've noticed that especially a lot of history videos.

497
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:36,000
Yeah. Have started a lot of AI slop showing up.

498
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,840
AI generated picture slideshows with an AI voice.

499
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:45,840
And I'll notice like a few minutes in. I'll be like, hmm, there's not really breaks between sentences and like

500
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:51,280
I'm starting to get a little sus because the voices are pretty good when they're really tuned in.

501
00:42:52,880 --> 00:43:00,240
And I'll scroll down into the comments and you try to search. Like did anyone else kind of pick this up and you control F for AI

502
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:05,680
and you get 10 trillion responses because it's like part of different words and stuff.

503
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,840
It's, I feel like it's convenient that it's just AI.

504
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:19,520
I ended up on Tech Talk, Tech Talk Tech for the first time in several years

505
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:23,360
because we're doing another trying Tech Talk hacks. Like you saw it?

506
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:28,000
Like I saw Tech Talks. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

507
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:33,360
Like is that what you're saying? Of what? What? Are you saying that you appeared on there or you looked at it?

508
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:40,320
No, no, I was looking at it. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I was, I was, we were doing another reacting to, to Tech Talk Tech hacks.

509
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,360
And so Adam curated a bunch of like

510
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:54,560
shockingly large popular creators, shockingly popular pieces of content

511
00:43:55,200 --> 00:44:02,000
that are just either AI slop with like tens of thousands of hearts.

512
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:12,160
But like bad, like wrong advice that you should never follow or people who seem to be just

513
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:18,640
as an agent, as a human agent for their AI puppet master,

514
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:25,120
regurgitating AI garbage that is stuff that no one should do.

515
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:35,440
And like I can't believe how much of it goes to your point unchallenged or is not easy to tell

516
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:42,480
that it's fake and that it's just garbage. An interesting thing too is there was a thread on the, on the Reddit.

517
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,840
Yeah. Where somebody was like, is this true?

518
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:51,040
I think you got to say the subreddit. Otherwise you're at risk of sounding like you consulted the Google.

519
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:53,600
Sure. Yeah, sorry. I don't, I don't read it that often.

520
00:44:54,320 --> 00:45:00,960
The subreddit, I only go to ours and it's not even ours and that's confusing and blah,

521
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:11,600
blah, blah, whatever. Old man yells at cloud. Nice. But I went to the subreddit and there was a thread of somebody who saw some article that was like,

522
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:16,480
I don't remember, I'm going to misquote it, but like HP Abandoned's Windows or something like that.

523
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,600
And they're like, is this true? And it was like, or it was a video or something?

524
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:24,000
I don't remember what it was. But it was like very clearly AI generated junk.

525
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:27,760
It was not true. And the comments like roasted him for it.

526
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:36,400
And I feel like we're falling. He's doing the right thing. I feel like we're falling back into shaming people for falling for scams.

527
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,200
No, he did the right thing to ask.

528
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:44,560
Yeah. This is the worst memory recollection of all time.

529
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,760
Oh, you have, you ain't seen nothing. This man can, this man.

530
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,640
Tell me what happened then. Tell me what happened, huh?

531
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:55,840
We should get it. Doesn't remember.

532
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:01,040
No, I'm good. I don't, don't touch. I like this one. I like this one. I like doesn't know.

533
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:09,200
But yeah, no, we need to, we need to support each other rather than attack each other for

534
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:12,320
seeking truth in a sea of AI slop.

535
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:15,680
So let's all, let's all form an alliance.

536
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:22,000
We'll make a pact that that's how we're going to respond to people asking about AI with kindness

537
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:26,320
and with compassion.

538
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:31,040
Okay. Cool. Good chat. Why don't we jump into another topic?

539
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:34,400
We, are we done with this one? The conclusion is basically just.

540
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:39,280
I have no idea. We'll see how it goes, but I don't have it. Honestly, there's no, okay.

541
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:45,520
Okay. No, you know what? We're not done because to me, the frustrating part of bringing in a non gamer is not that I

542
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,320
think there's, it's a guarantee that they'll do a bad job. Yeah.

543
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:56,400
I'm not a fashionista, but I think that I have done a good job of trusting the team at

544
00:46:56,400 --> 00:47:01,920
Creator Warehouse to do a good job of that part of it, while also providing the financial

545
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:09,520
backing and creating an environment that gives them the resources to, to create quality products.

546
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:13,840
See, I'm more focused on like, how long does it last? Can I throw it in the tumble dryer?

547
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:18,000
You know, these things that I know matter to our customers and then their job is make

548
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:25,440
sure it like looks cool and is, is not going to, you know, it looks professional at the

549
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:30,800
office and, and addresses the little details that I would overlook because that's my background.

550
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:35,120
But Phil being a gamer theoretically helps him understand what our customers want.

551
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:40,960
You being dialed in with the audience helps you understand what our customers want.

552
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:48,240
Yeah. I don't know that she is dialed, maybe she is, I have no idea, but her not being a gamer

553
00:47:48,240 --> 00:47:51,760
makes me question if she's dialed into that audience.

554
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:56,640
So I'm not saying, I'm not saying that they're going to screw it up.

555
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:02,000
I'm just saying, would it have been that hard to find a leader who was a gamer?

556
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:09,040
It doesn't feel like it. Like everyone games now, would it have been that hard?

557
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:12,880
To me, it's the main reason why I cringed when it said like, oh, she came from an AI

558
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,840
area in Microsoft. Is that just seems to be the path now?

559
00:48:16,720 --> 00:48:23,760
Like if you're a corporate jockey in Microsoft, you're just getting yourself into some form

560
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:29,040
of AI something because that seems to be the path to everywhere right now, which doesn't seem good.

561
00:48:30,720 --> 00:48:35,200
And you know, maybe this is a pattern recognizing when there is no pattern, but

562
00:48:36,720 --> 00:48:39,280
I mean, it seems kind of like a pattern. Seems likely.

563
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:44,240
All right. Let's jump right into our next topic here. A sponsor read.

564
00:48:44,240 --> 00:48:47,120
We need to do what? We got to do the sponsor read. You can do whatever you want.

565
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:50,960
Down, down, down, down to the sponsor reads.

566
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:56,240
All right. The show. Oh, no way.

567
00:48:56,240 --> 00:48:59,840
Oh wait. Yeah. No, never mind. Okay. Which one? Oh, okay.

568
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:05,840
In 2012, husband and wife Caleb and Steph Martin started a business based on Caleb's

569
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:12,080
passion for making custom rings. And today that legacy lives on as Thoram.

570
00:49:12,720 --> 00:49:18,960
They handcraft wedding bands from materials like meteorite, whiskey barrel, dinosaur bone,

571
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:25,280
and more. And Thoram has recently started to make minimalist watches as well with Hawaiian

572
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,600
coa wood and California redwood.

573
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:34,960
Don't know your ring size. Thoram has ring sizes that come with a 20% discount code for when you're ready to

574
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:40,240
pop the question. And they have over 10,000 five star reviews.

575
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:46,320
Whether you need a wedding ring, an anniversary ring, or you just want a ring that looks awesome,

576
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,840
head over to Thoram.com and use code WAN.

577
00:49:50,720 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaking of rings, what is happening right now?

578
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:55,760
Does anyone hear that sound?

579
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:04,720
What is, what is going on? What is happening?

580
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:09,200
What is happening right now? Something's happening. I was just handed a thing.

581
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:15,760
This is a Thoram box. This is, this is extremely confusing to me right now.

582
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:18,000
I see DMS is here.

583
00:50:20,720 --> 00:50:23,440
What do you think is happening right now? I think you're getting married.

584
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:26,640
You were such an observant person.

585
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:33,120
I'm so proud of you. Are you getting married to me? I mean, I wasn't worth thinking about that.

586
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:40,640
Okay. This has never happened on windshield before.

587
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:43,040
Nobody told me I'm so underdressed.

588
00:50:46,240 --> 00:50:49,840
Where do I go? What do I do? If you guys just scoot your chairs back a bit.

589
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:51,440
You guys are going back. Okay.

590
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:57,440
Oh, she's pretty critical to the process. Yeah, okay. Sorry. We need the efficient.

591
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:00,320
Oh, because otherwise it wouldn't be efficient.

592
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:04,640
You not being aware of what was happening was pretty critical to the process,

593
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:06,080
but your business team is amazing.

594
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:12,080
I'll go here. Yes. Okay. I'll go here.

595
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:16,880
Does anyone need this? Well, I figured you guys are going to hold onto those for a minute.

596
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:20,240
Oh, okay. Okay. Here, join us in the middle here. Okay, cool.

597
00:51:20,240 --> 00:51:22,640
Here. Trying to mix some space. A little bit of shuffling.

598
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:24,960
Beautiful.

599
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:29,920
Yeah, surprise, you're a legal witness.

600
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:38,960
Yes, for words. All right. All right. Welcome, everybody, to the marriage today.

601
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,560
I see it's quite a bit of a surprise.

602
00:51:44,720 --> 00:51:50,640
Oh, exciting. But we're gathered at this place to witness the formal joining in the legal state of matrimony

603
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:55,360
of this couple, according to order and custom prevailing and under the authority given and

604
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:57,360
provided by me by the province.

605
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:04,160
I charge with you both in the presence of these witnesses that if either of you do not

606
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:07,840
knew or sorry, do know of any legal impediment to this marriage,

607
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:12,240
you do now reveal the same. So let DMS repeat after me.

608
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:16,800
I solemnly declare. I solemnly declare. That I do not know.

609
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:20,800
That I do not know. Of any lawful impediment. Of any lawful impediment.

610
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:24,080
Why I. Why I. DMS. DMS.

611
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:27,200
May not be joined. May not be joined. In matrimony.

612
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:29,600
In matrimony. To mochi. To mochi.

613
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:34,720
Let mochi repeat after me. I solemnly declare.

614
00:52:34,720 --> 00:52:37,920
I solemnly declare. That I do not know. That I do not know.

615

that um

688
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:40,160
there has got to be a story here it was so hard to not laugh the whole time

689
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:42,160
because I looked over at you

690
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:47,160
I could watch your brain as every step progressed

691
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:51,160
you'd just be like really and then I saw at one point in time

692
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:54,160
you were like wait this is really long for like a bit

693
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:57,160
and then you're like wait does that mean it's real and then like some step happened

694
00:58:57,160 --> 00:59:01,160
I saw your face just go like no way

695
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:05,160
I was watching this like

696
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:10,160
all this computation happen and then Linus' head

697
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:13,160
and that was that was so entertaining the whole time

698
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:17,160
wow that's so cool I um

699
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:20,160
very very honored

700
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:25,160
I wish I had dressed up a little bit but nobody told me

701
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:29,160
that was the whole that was the whole point okay

702
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:33,160
I was supposed to have a dress shirt under my jacket but then I left it buttoned

703
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:37,160
on the hanger and I and I only had the ad spot to try to get it on

704
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:41,160
so I was like trying to unbutton it the whole time ran out of time just through the jacket

705
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:45,160
so this is my undershirt all I saw I saw Sammy come in

706
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:51,160
I saw Luke start changing his clothes and I was reading about husband and wife

707
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:55,160
Caleb and Steph and whatever and I thought maybe there was like a funny thing

708
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:59,160
that Luke was gonna do that involved him being dressed up then I saw Dan

709
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:05,160
for the main camera and I was like okay

710
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:09,160
what are we doing I had so many cues to hit in like

711
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:13,160
five seconds did you not notice it was it you on the boom Mike Dan or was someone else back there

712
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:17,160
that was uh that was Jordan that was sorry Jordan

713
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:19,160
block yeah nice solid

714
01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:27,160
did you not notice anything about me I mean I noticed you changing

715
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:33,160
oh you're like wearing fancy shoes even I have cologne on

716
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:37,160
yeah I would never in a thousand years notice something like that I thought you would have actually because I'd never wear it

717
01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:41,160
no okay I thought I was gonna give it away the whole time

718
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:45,160
in the pre-show you did your hair

719
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:49,160
so that was something but you occasionally do that sometimes I do that yeah

720
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:53,160
I didn't think the hair was gonna get it every once in a while it happens the beard

721
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:57,160
less often especially not at the same time that should have been a clue

722
01:00:57,160 --> 01:01:01,160
sometimes he'll clean up the beard sometimes he'll clean up the hair very rarely on the same week

723
01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:05,160
yeah I was trying to hide like color matched

724
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:09,160
a bunch of things the jacket was hanging there the whole time

725
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:13,160
oh are they still here I think

726
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:17,160
they're busy yeah and I didn't

727
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:21,160
didn't get them anything what the heck

728
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:27,160
oh man

729
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:33,160
I can't believe that just happened

730
01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:37,160
I thought this was Chinese New Year that's good

731
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:41,160
was that the scam I don't think so

732
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:45,160
because when is Chinese New Year it's soon right

733
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:49,160
I think it was this week hold on

734
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:53,160
oh yeah it was three days ago it's right now

735
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:57,160
perfect it's totally Chinese New Year

736
01:01:57,160 --> 01:02:01,160
right now blah blah blah Tuesday February 17th

737
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:05,160
2026 and that's the beginning of the year of the Fire Horse

738
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:09,160
which lasts until February 5th 2027

739
01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:13,160
celebrations including Lantern Festival typically run for 16 days ending on March 3rd

740
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:17,160
2026 so I was like this totally checked out I just didn't

741
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:21,160
understand so this is why you guys are memeing earlier because I was all

742
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:25,160
like you said something to Sammy

743
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:29,160
about how like yeah didn't you set it up and I was like yo he's

744
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:33,160
Korean what the heck anyway

745
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:37,160
um so does that

746
01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:41,160
I actually didn't know it was Chinese New Year I just assumed that we just had these

747
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:45,160
I know the red and white was intentional but the rest of it like I don't know

748
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:49,160
well I thought the red was because it's Chinese New Year like that's the thing

749
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:53,160
that's probably both yeah um

750
01:02:53,160 --> 01:02:57,160
I think that's very funny so did Thorom sponsor the wedding yeah

751
01:02:57,160 --> 01:03:01,160
yes that's cool yeah that's why it's a cool takeover

752
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:05,160
your business team did a good job

753
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:09,160
because there's actually been like a bunch people in the loop on this for like a while

754
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:11,160
what

755
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:17,160
Terry nose I think probably like the whole business team knows

756
01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:21,160
not everybody at the company yeah uh Chewie says this may

757
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:25,160
actually be the most genuine that Linus has been pranked on camera every prank

758
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:29,160
on me on camera was genuine so it's just whether um

759
01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:33,160
you know it came across in the in the edit or not is basically what it

760
01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:37,160
comes down to like when Dennis was living in my house multiple times I did

761
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:41,160
not know um I would never fake a prank

762
01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:45,160
that is that should be a crime

763
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:49,160
that you should go to youtube jail for faking a prank

764
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:53,160
except it's like most pranks yeah that's not okay uh

765
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:57,160
alright so he's still there I couldn't find him

766
01:03:57,160 --> 01:04:01,160
uh alright if you guys want to do another topic I'll go have a look

767
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:05,160
listen I will never deny getting teary-eyed at a wedding

768
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:09,160
it's uh it's a very emotional time

769
01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:13,160
and I cannot help but be happy for super cool people

770
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:17,160
starting a life together that's it's it's exciting

771
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:21,160
and it's happy and uh anyone who thinks men shouldn't cry at

772
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:25,160
weddings can go f*** themselves that's my hot take for today

773
01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:29,160
I can or should say but I'm I'm very happy for them

774
01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:33,160
I think it's their story we'll let them tell the story in the way that they

775
01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:37,160
deem best yeah once they have figured out

776
01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:41,160
um you know whatever it is that you know

777
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:45,160
they're doing for for right now that is not in the public eye

778
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:49,160
no that's not stop it no

779
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:53,160
no no I know immediately smile that looked at me because I realized

780
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:57,160
I just meant whatever they whatever they

781
01:04:57,160 --> 01:05:01,160
they can talk publicly about their personal lives

782
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:05,160
when they're good and ready that's what I'm trying to say stop it

783
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:11,160
yeah sure man that's why they left so fast

784
01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:15,160
they're just really excited to go talk about their the rest of their personal lives

785
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:21,160
anyway exclusive

786
01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:27,160
I mean it wouldn't violate any rules with the platform technically no all

787
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:33,160
why do you have to think they'd have to make it artistic no

788
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:37,160
no why are we talking the payment processors

789
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:41,160
oh that's right yeah so that's that's why lore

790
01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:45,160
for some people that's why for a long time adult

791
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:49,160
content creators on patreon would do cosplay that's why that was so

792
01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:53,160
popular for a really long time was because it was considered art if they could

793
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:57,160
put it under the cosplay category oh there is there's things I have things for

794
01:05:57,160 --> 01:06:01,160
you yeah I'm gonna I'm gonna come and see you guys okay yeah

795
01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:05,160
congrats dude yeah

796
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:09,160
yeah no kidding definitely a surprise

797
01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:13,160
here let me know what's right okay they're off they're off doing stuff over there

798
01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:19,160
while they're doing that why don't I talk through the cat patch hoodie

799
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:23,160
or something or what should I do did we do the gamers

800
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:27,160
dlss topic yet we did not did we do anything yet

801
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:33,160
okay why don't I do like a couple rapid fire things while they while they chit chat

802
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:37,160
um steam deck is getting pretty hard

803
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:41,160
to get right now valve has added a note to the steam deck page

804
01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:45,160
saying that the handheld will be intermittently available in some regions

805
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:49,160
due to memory and storage shortages

806
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:53,160
I knew that memory shortages were already having a significant

807
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:57,160
impact on pricing and I knew that storage shortages were coming

808
01:06:57,160 --> 01:07:01,160
but I didn't know how hard the storage shortages were gonna hit

809
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:05,160
and how suddenly they were gonna hit yeah we're working on a thousand

810
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:09,160
dollar build video and ploof

811
01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:13,160
ploof did something that

812
01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:17,160
made me very upset that

813
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:21,160
I worked with him and tried to resolve and couldn't resolve

814
01:07:21,160 --> 01:07:25,160
he used a SATA SSD

815
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:29,160
in a build I think that's the first time we've recommended

816
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:33,160
a SATA SSD for any reason that

817
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:37,160
in five years maybe because

818
01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:41,160
there's no reason why it should be cheaper even because

819
01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:45,160
part that costs more is the NAND flash but just I guess because

820
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:49,160
the demand is a little lower and the stock is lagging

821
01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:53,160
the increases in price or whatever right now SATA SSDs are

822
01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:57,160
anywhere from like 15 to like $35 cheaper than NAND

823
01:07:57,160 --> 01:08:01,160
that too I absolutely see it making sense

824
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:05,160
and for gaming it doesn't really matter so

825
01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:09,160
our thousand dollar build that's coming soon is gonna use a SATA SSD

826
01:08:09,160 --> 01:08:13,160
and to be clear when I say that it made me upset

827
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:17,160
I don't mean like ploof made me upset he did something

828
01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:21,160
made me upset because we shouldn't be in that position and yet

829
01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:25,160
here we are crazy yeah for a boot drive

830
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:29,160
yes scrappy DP for a boot drive and I looked at the config with him

831
01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:33,160
and I was like you nailed everything else

832
01:08:33,160 --> 01:08:37,160
and we've got a budget that's the reality in a perfect world

833
01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:41,160
would I love to spend another $35 and I've talked about this before

834
01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:45,160
that's a slippery slope logic that takes your thousand dollar computer and makes it $1,200

835
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:49,160
if you spend another $30 on every single component

836
01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:53,160
you're not adhering to a budget when does that stop and real people have

837
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:57,160
budgets and that's just the way it is so we have to act

838
01:08:57,160 --> 01:09:01,160
like we have a fixed budget so that's what we're gonna do it's still not quite $1,000

839
01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:05,160
it's like $1,012 or something like that but $1,012

840
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:09,160
is $1,000 $1,040?

841
01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:13,160
yeah not really that's $1,050

842
01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:17,160
that's not $1,000 I think if it was over

843
01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:21,160
$1,015 it starts to feel a little weird

844
01:09:21,160 --> 01:09:25,160
oh yeah I think $1,015 is probably the line

845
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:29,160
I think you could get away with $1,018 you get away with it but it starts to feel weird

846
01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:33,160
I think $1,012 is like an automatic when you hit $1,020

847
01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:37,160
it's like come on man because that's like

848
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:41,160
a real bill like a $20 bill

849
01:09:41,160 --> 01:09:45,160
is like I'm not gonna put that in my pocket

850
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:49,160
that one goes in my wallet like $5 bill

851
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:53,160
that could be in my pocket I might even put that in with the change drawer

852
01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:57,160
$10 bill we're getting sketchy $20

853
01:09:57,160 --> 01:10:01,160
right in the wallet no question no question

854
01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:05,160
yeah this is lunch

855
01:10:05,160 --> 01:10:09,160
for sure is this financial device? no not financial

856
01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:13,160
$5 goes in the car, $20 goes in the wallet I mean yeah sure maybe in the 90s

857
01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:17,160
$5 does nothing for the car now

858
01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:21,160
no I think they mean like oh I thought like to fill your gas tank

859
01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:25,160
no no no I read that comment for one

860
01:10:25,160 --> 01:10:29,160
but for two I think they mean like in the like yeah I get it in the change pouch

861
01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:33,160
yeah no I thought like I remember when money was tight my dad putting

862
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:37,160
$5 in the gas tank and I was like dude that was in like

863
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:41,160
1993 not so much anymore

864
01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:45,160
yeah sure on a motorcycle chewy but that's not what we're talking about

865
01:10:45,160 --> 01:10:49,160
our discussion question for this is do you think the steam

866
01:10:49,160 --> 01:10:53,160
machine and or the frame could be delayed beyond

867
01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:57,160
Valve's current target of the first half of the year I heard the steam machine was

868
01:10:57,160 --> 01:11:01,160
so it was supposed to be early in the first half of the year

869
01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:05,160
but they never actually promised anything other than first half of the year

870
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:09,160
and yeah I do think that's possible if they can't even get enough stock

871
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:13,160
to make steam deck right now like how are they supposed to launch a new

872
01:11:13,160 --> 01:11:17,160
product because you're kind of damned if you do and you're damned if you don't

873
01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:21,160
if you delay it people are going to be upset because you delayed it but if you launch

874
01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:25,160
it and there's no stock and it's a whole scalping situation

875
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:29,160
where let's say the launch price is $999 and they're going

876
01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:33,160
for $2,500 on ebay because you know at the beginning they will

877
01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:37,160
because to someone for whom money is no object there is nothing

878
01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:41,160
exactly like the steam machine

879
01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:45,160
tell me something that completely fulfills the function of the steam machine go

880
01:11:45,160 --> 01:11:49,160
I'll wait not that I'm aware of you could

881
01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:53,160
do it you could make it yourself sure you're going to go get

882
01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:57,160
an IR receiver and you're going to go get like some relay system

883
01:11:57,160 --> 01:12:01,160
that's going to turn on your TV and your PC and everything all at the same time

884
01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:05,160
you're going to go you're going to make your own steam controller

885
01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:09,160
with the touch pads with controller yeah what's

886
01:12:09,160 --> 01:12:13,160
what was buddy's name we did that collab with recently he I mean he made his own

887
01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:17,160
steam controller alike with touch pads he made his own touch pads is the controller

888
01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:21,160
tied to the con yeah I guess the launch of that probably is

889
01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:25,160
are you going to are you going to work out a way to remotely power on and power off

890
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:29,160
all of the stuff from the controller like there's a bunch of work that

891
01:12:29,160 --> 01:12:33,160
valve did on the integration side of things that is completely

892
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:37,160
separate from just how many FPS does it get

893
01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:41,160
and sure you could you could just roll an Xbox or a PlayStation instead

894
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:45,160
but then you don't have steam you don't have

895
01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:49,160
no offense Microsoft and Sony but you don't have good pricing on games

896
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:53,160
so to me no there is absolutely nothing

897
01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:57,160
that is what the steam machine is it's it's completely unique

898
01:12:57,160 --> 01:13:01,160
in the market and I think that regardless of the performance there are people who are not going to

899
01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:05,160
be playing the most demanding games that just plain fucking want one

900
01:13:05,160 --> 01:13:09,160
and just have more money than sense and I just like whatever it doesn't matter or I just shouldn't even say more

901
01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:13,160
money than sense they might just have more money than they care about

902
01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:17,160
they're just like forget it I don't care I will just buy it I mean I've bought

903
01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:21,160
stuff that's a bad value before the work that I'm doing on my motorbike

904
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:25,160
it's a terrible value I could have bought a brand new motorbike and instead I'm going to be

905
01:13:25,160 --> 01:13:29,160
riding around on a 2003 with a paint job that's insane

906
01:13:29,160 --> 01:13:33,160
it is objectively it's crazy

907
01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:37,160
but I love the look of it I have a lot of memories on that bike it's my first

908
01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:41,160
bike it's still enough for me it's 650cc it's really comfortable

909
01:13:41,160 --> 01:13:45,160
and I did the paint job myself which I think is super cool so I'll be like

910
01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:49,160
ripping around on my own paint job Tommy B

911
01:13:49,160 --> 01:13:53,160
Tommy B who did that theme control is super cool so

912
01:13:55,160 --> 01:13:59,160
sucks alright you want to talk about next should we

913
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:03,160
do the other big headline topic yeah let's do it let's do it

914
01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:07,160
you guys might not like to hear this okay but I need you for one moment

915
01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:11,160
to just here just

916
01:14:11,160 --> 01:14:15,160
just grab that and just

917
01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:19,160
what that chill pill

918
01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:23,160
just take it and calm down go ahead

919
01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:27,160
gamers overwhelm we'll get into it we'll get into it

920
01:14:27,160 --> 01:14:31,160
but to listen to the title gamers overwhelmingly prefer DLSS over FSR

921
01:14:31,160 --> 01:14:35,160
in a three way blind test over six games

922
01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:39,160
German tech publication computer bases readers overwhelmingly found DLSS

923
01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:43,160
4.5 upscaling to have the best picture quality

924
01:14:43,160 --> 01:14:47,160
over FSR or native rendering and that last one that's the bomb shell

925
01:14:47,160 --> 01:14:51,160
the native rendering is the the games used for this test

926
01:14:51,160 --> 01:14:55,160
was ANNA 117 ARC Raiders

927
01:14:55,160 --> 01:14:59,160
Cyberpunk 2077 Horizon Forbidden West

928
01:14:59,160 --> 01:15:03,160
Satisfactory and The Last of Us Part 2 now that is also another huge bomb shell

929
01:15:03,160 --> 01:15:07,160
these are not just like ashes of the benchmark or even cyberpunk

930
01:15:07,160 --> 01:15:11,160
games that are just overwhelmingly optimized

931
01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:15,160
or because they're the traditional showcase games

932
01:15:15,160 --> 01:15:19,160
and these are showcasing games beautiful games pretty much across the board

933
01:15:19,160 --> 01:15:23,160
other than maybe Satisfactory um

934
01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:27,160
but these are real games that people are playing this is not

935
01:15:27,160 --> 01:15:31,160
like contrived yeah and all those real games are ran at 4k resolution

936
01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:35,160
with upscaling set to quality videos were played

937
01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:39,160
to were played to readers in NVIDIA's iCat player

938
01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:43,160
showing game clips rendered in DLSS 4.5

939
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:47,160
FSR and natively side by side this is the

940
01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:51,160
it's a video it is but if anything

941
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:55,160
to me that is a disadvantage

942
01:15:55,160 --> 01:15:59,160
to DLSS it could be because DLSS

943
01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:03,160
when you're actually using it remember we're talking DLSS upscaling

944
01:16:03,160 --> 01:16:07,160
not DLSS Framegen

945
01:16:07,160 --> 01:16:11,160
so there's no latency drawback of DLSS upscaling if anything

946
01:16:11,160 --> 01:16:15,160
the latency will be better because you will be running at more FPS

947
01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:19,160
because you're rendering at a lower resolution then upscaling

948
01:16:19,160 --> 01:16:21,160
it through machine learning

949
01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:27,160
it's just a weird note it is

950
01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:31,160
respondents could indicate whether they preferred or answer equivalent

951
01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:35,160
so they could be like yeah they're all the same DLSS won in every

952
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:39,160
game with an overall result of 48% of votes

953
01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:43,160
from a pool of 6,747

954
01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:47,160
native rendering was also preferred over FSR in

955
01:16:47,160 --> 01:16:51,160
every game with 24% of the overall vote to FSR's

956
01:16:51,160 --> 01:16:55,160
15 that doesn't uh

957
01:16:55,160 --> 01:16:59,160
so 15% of people preferred FSR or 15% of votes

958
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:03,160
were for FSR 24% of votes were for

959
01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:07,160
native and 48%

960
01:17:07,160 --> 01:17:11,160
12.8% of the responses were equivalent between the three categories

961
01:17:11,160 --> 01:17:15,160
so just done care one out of eight gamers was like whatever

962
01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:19,160
whatever dude responses weren't ranked, respondents only voted

963
01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:23,160
on what they thought was the best video now if these were

964
01:17:23,160 --> 01:17:27,160
closer if it was like

965
01:17:27,160 --> 01:17:31,160
20 30

966
01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:35,160
25 I'm looking at it going like okay well you've

967
01:17:35,160 --> 01:17:39,160
obviously got a bunch of normies who literally can't tell the difference

968
01:17:39,160 --> 01:17:43,160
and then a bunch of other normies who literally can't tell that FSR doesn't look

969
01:17:43,160 --> 01:17:47,160
as good as native I'd be ready to be pretty dismissive of it

970
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:51,160
but the sheer volume of voting

971
01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:55,160
and the overwhelming preference

972
01:17:55,160 --> 01:17:59,160
for DLSS is kind of

973
01:17:59,160 --> 01:18:03,160
f***ing right now like

974
01:18:03,160 --> 01:18:07,160
seriously there is a lot of variables that hold

975
01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:11,160
it was a video that was played all that kind of stuff but

976
01:18:11,160 --> 01:18:15,160
are you surprised by the results no

977
01:18:15,160 --> 01:18:19,160
yeah that's the spicy part of this I was waiting for

978
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:23,160
is we can nitpick how the like you know how the thing

979
01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:27,160
was done we can nitpick the science and I'm sure there's lots

980
01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:31,160
to be done there as there is with everything ever

981
01:18:31,160 --> 01:18:35,160
but I'm not particularly surprised by the result

982
01:18:35,160 --> 01:18:39,160
have you tried it yet is your gaming machine up and running

983
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:43,160
you're on 4000 series right so you can run it

984
01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:47,160
I think you have a 4080 you should try it

985
01:18:47,160 --> 01:18:51,160
like immediately are you

986
01:18:51,160 --> 01:18:53,160
afraid to like it

987
01:18:57,160 --> 01:19:01,160
a little bit I was too

988
01:19:01,160 --> 01:19:05,160
but not because of like external perceptions like it's kind of like the first

989
01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:09,160
time that you you know try it with it no

990
01:19:09,160 --> 01:19:13,160
how no I don't think at all

991
01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:17,160
my thing is that I'm worried about I guess you knew you'd like that

992
01:19:17,160 --> 01:19:21,160
yeah my thing that I'm worried about is

993
01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:25,160
what this will do to multiple industries

994
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:29,160
which industries hit me

995
01:19:29,160 --> 01:19:33,160
gaming and hardware hardware it's already happened

996
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:37,160
like NVIDIA set this course

997
01:19:37,160 --> 01:19:41,160
years ago not just when they launched the 20 series

998
01:19:41,160 --> 01:19:45,160
they set this course when they started developing

999
01:19:45,160 --> 01:19:49,160
the 20 series so this is like 8 years ago or like

1000
01:19:49,160 --> 01:19:53,160
9 years ago or something that's really fast

1001
01:19:53,160 --> 01:19:57,160
for this level of impact it is

1002
01:19:57,160 --> 01:20:01,160
8 or 9 years for this level of impact is wild like

1003
01:20:01,160 --> 01:20:05,160
it's actually very wild look at almost any other comparative industry

1004
01:20:05,160 --> 01:20:09,160
however it's also like damn near clairvoyant

1005
01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:13,160
when it comes to seeing where

1006
01:20:13,160 --> 01:20:17,160
the where the winds are blowing within the tech industry

1007
01:20:17,160 --> 01:20:21,160
and getting it this right when it was in such

1008
01:20:21,160 --> 01:20:25,160
early stages of development at that time when the hardware didn't exist

1009
01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:29,160
when the software tools didn't exist when it hadn't been

1010
01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:33,160
embraced by game developers you gotta give them credit

1011
01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:37,160
they nailed it and now everyone else

1012
01:20:37,160 --> 01:20:41,160
is playing catch up whether you like fake frames whether you don't like fake frames

1013
01:20:41,160 --> 01:20:45,160
AMD and Intel are all in on upscaling

1014
01:20:45,160 --> 01:20:49,160
and frame gen now the warden is kind of

1015
01:20:49,160 --> 01:20:53,160
getting to my point how are you fellas gonna pivot when consumer computing

1016
01:20:53,160 --> 01:20:57,160
is completely gone in 5 years um this is kind of

1017
01:20:57,160 --> 01:21:01,160
what I'm talking about is like the and it's not even just the work

1018
01:21:01,160 --> 01:21:05,160
right we can actually do a lot of different things oh yeah

1019
01:21:05,160 --> 01:21:07,160
where's a lot of the revenue coming from these days

1020
01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:13,160
that stuff so like you know that's of course

1021
01:21:13,160 --> 01:21:17,160
that's a little bit of it but I'm worried about the hobby I've had for literally my entire

1022
01:21:17,160 --> 01:21:21,160
the memories that I have of my entire life is being

1023
01:21:21,160 --> 01:21:25,160
interested in this hobby from before I was interested in this hobby

1024
01:21:25,160 --> 01:21:29,160
I don't remember anything like it's been forever

1025
01:21:29,160 --> 01:21:33,160
and then there's what this will continue to do

1026
01:21:33,160 --> 01:21:37,160
the gaming industry um gaming industry is in a really weird

1027
01:21:37,160 --> 01:21:41,160
spot right now and I think this doesn't necessarily help so hear me out

1028
01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:45,160
we've had this conversation before but it always felt kind of like

1029
01:21:45,160 --> 01:21:49,160
eh sci-fi

1030
01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:53,160
and maybe someday and blah blah blah and it always seemed kind of easy to dismiss

1031
01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:55,160
but I feel like it's time to have it again

1032
01:21:57,160 --> 01:22:01,160
if someone say Microsoft

1033
01:22:01,160 --> 01:22:05,160
built a gaming experience that simply wasn't possible

1034
01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:09,160
with many clients all over the world

1035
01:22:09,160 --> 01:22:13,160
connecting to a central server to exchange game data

1036
01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:17,160
if they built a gaming experience that could only

1037
01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:21,160
run on the big iron and that you remote into

1038
01:22:21,160 --> 01:22:25,160
and it beams frames to you like a like I know we've had

1039
01:22:25,160 --> 01:22:29,160
massively multiplayer worlds right but I'm talking

1040
01:22:29,160 --> 01:22:33,160
like a massively multiplayer world where it's just it's just not even possible

1041
01:22:33,160 --> 01:22:37,160
to run it on the client side anymore could you be convinced

1042
01:22:37,160 --> 01:22:41,160
in this in this hypothetical you know universe scale

1043
01:22:41,160 --> 01:22:45,160
game where everything is physics based

1044
01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:49,160
and everything's persistent man what happened to physics NVIDIA games

1045
01:22:49,160 --> 01:22:53,160
anyways that's a different topic but but let's say

1046
01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:57,160
that by having enormous banks of

1047
01:22:57,160 --> 01:23:01,160
AI servers and crap they could model and simulate

1048
01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:05,160
the world in a way that just wasn't possible to render locally

1049
01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:09,160
I mean the more interesting part to me is the anti-cheating that comes with that

1050
01:23:09,160 --> 01:23:13,160
yeah could you be convinced to cloud

1051
01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:17,160
game to play that like let's say it was a game

1052
01:23:17,160 --> 01:23:21,160
that had a moment like Arc Raiders is having right now

1053
01:23:21,160 --> 01:23:25,160
would you just be like let's go

1054
01:23:25,160 --> 01:23:29,160
would you be sad like tell me walk me through it

1055
01:23:29,160 --> 01:23:33,160
so far I've resisted I haven't joined any of the subscription things I haven't joined

1056
01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:37,160
oh because you know it'd be a subscription oh yeah because you're running on their hardware

1057
01:23:37,160 --> 01:23:41,160
at that point yeah I'd like have to be so I yeah I haven't joined

1058
01:23:41,160 --> 01:23:45,160
Xbox game pass or the Ubisoft service or EA's thing

1059
01:23:45,160 --> 01:23:49,160
or anything like that even when it like probably made

1060
01:23:49,160 --> 01:23:53,160
sense and I'd be like okay there's some new shooter coming out maybe it

1061
01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:57,160
doesn't even have a single player or I don't really care about the single player for this one and

1062
01:23:57,160 --> 01:24:01,160
you know I know my friends are only gonna play it for like two weeks so like whatever

1063
01:24:01,160 --> 01:24:05,160
really every single time if I'm gonna play that game I've bought it

1064
01:24:05,160 --> 01:24:09,160
I have not joined the subscription services I don't know at a certain point

1065
01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:13,160
when there is no longer an option which is the reality you're describing

1066
01:24:13,160 --> 01:24:17,160
yeah I don't know necessarily what I do there

1067
01:24:17,160 --> 01:24:21,160
I think there's definitely a lot of interesting aspects the anti-cheat is very

1068
01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:25,160
interesting would you still be able to cheat absolutely but the level

1069
01:24:25,160 --> 01:24:29,160
of cheating would decrease and at least at the beginning

1070
01:24:29,160 --> 01:24:33,160
the barrier of entry would increase like

1071
01:24:33,160 --> 01:24:37,160
using machine vision to read a screen

1072
01:24:37,160 --> 01:24:41,160
and literally a robot ARM to move a mouse and operate a keyboard

1073
01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:45,160
oh you can still digitally send inputs there's nothing I just mean

1074
01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:49,160
that's sort of the the ridiculous

1075
01:24:49,160 --> 01:24:53,160
lengths to which we could go and people have gone

1076
01:24:53,160 --> 01:24:57,160
to make something that is completely undetectable by software

1077
01:24:57,160 --> 01:25:01,160
but you can still read a screen and then snap to a head

1078
01:25:01,160 --> 01:25:05,160
like you said still detectable by things etc yeah

1079
01:25:05,160 --> 01:25:09,160
so we'll never be able to completely eliminate people who are determined

1080
01:25:09,160 --> 01:25:13,160
not to play the video games that they pay for but I think it would make it so that it's not like one

1081
01:25:13,160 --> 01:25:17,160
per freaking lobby like some games are right now yeah

1082
01:25:17,160 --> 01:25:21,160
so that is kind of exciting but

1083
01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:29,160
I don't think I'm romanticizing this I think I'm always going to have a computer

1084
01:25:31,160 --> 01:25:35,160
there's like it's kind of funny

1085
01:25:35,160 --> 01:25:39,160
during the reno I spent the longest period of time in my life since I touched

1086
01:25:39,160 --> 01:25:43,160
a desktop without touching a desktop because at work I had a laptop

1087
01:25:43,160 --> 01:25:47,160
and I would take that laptop home to I mean most of the time

1088
01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:51,160
continue working but also like if I play games or whatever anything I did on a computer

1089
01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:55,160
was on a laptop for a while and then I got my desktop back

1090
01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:59,160
and it like shouldn't matter when you're connected to a dock

1091
01:25:59,160 --> 01:26:03,160
like it does and I don't know why it does they're just not that fast I don't know like

1092
01:26:03,160 --> 01:26:07,160
what it is I like I daily a laptop right now for work I don't have a work desktop

1093
01:26:07,160 --> 01:26:11,160
right now and I haven't for like six months and there's just

1094
01:26:11,160 --> 01:26:15,160
there's just something about it like I went to be in a big box on a desk and I don't

1095
01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:19,160
know why no they're just there just I don't know they just

1096
01:26:19,160 --> 01:26:23,160
even that stuff just feel like they work better even always would talk to me about

1097
01:26:23,160 --> 01:26:27,160
this like and I kept telling her it was her imagination because it doesn't make any sense but she'd

1098
01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:31,160
be like yeah no laptops wear out they just like don't work yeah good after a while I'm like

1099
01:26:31,160 --> 01:26:35,160
that doesn't make any sense because but it anecdotally it's

1100
01:26:35,160 --> 01:26:39,160
like it just kind of seems to it just kind of seems to happen whether it's the way that these mobile

1101
01:26:39,160 --> 01:26:43,160
chips have a tendency to to be very bursty in their performance or whatever

1102
01:26:43,160 --> 01:26:47,160
it is like they just ah man I don't get it I don't get it

1103
01:26:47,160 --> 01:26:51,160
right now it's an elite book X

1104
01:26:53,160 --> 01:26:57,160
yeah an elite book X G1 A it's a Strix Halo so it's

1105
01:26:57,160 --> 01:27:01,160
it's like a four thousand dollar laptop that I would never buy

1106
01:27:01,160 --> 01:27:05,160
because there's like things about it that are like like broken

1107
01:27:05,160 --> 01:27:09,160
level of stupid like it has by default this the screen ships at 40

1108
01:27:09,160 --> 01:27:13,160
Hertz I know right you can turn it up to

1109
01:27:13,160 --> 01:27:17,160
60 what is it an engineering laptop or something or like what

1110
01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:21,160
like an engineering sample you know why would it have a Strix Halo in a 40

1111
01:27:21,160 --> 01:27:25,160
Hertz screen is it I it's a it's a work it's considered like a workstation

1112
01:27:25,160 --> 01:27:29,160
because it can be configured with up to 128 gigs of RAM like Strix Halo

1113
01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:33,160
you know tends to do I was trying to figure out like what

1114
01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:37,160
what configuration ever would someone buy that thing in when it's 40 Hertz and then I was

1115
01:27:37,160 --> 01:27:41,160
like okay maybe it's just for CAD or something and maybe they don't care I'm not sure maybe they do care

1116
01:27:41,160 --> 01:27:45,160
I feel like if I was an engineer I'd be kind of annoyed that my screen's running at

1117
01:27:45,160 --> 01:27:49,160
40 Hertz it can do 60 it can do 60 but it's like super dim like it's

1118
01:27:49,160 --> 01:27:53,160
not like you compare this to like a like a top top-end

1119
01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:57,160
MacBook right now and you're like not good

1120
01:27:57,160 --> 01:28:01,160
not good but man that Strix Halo but yeah

1121
01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:05,160
I feel like I'm always going to have a desktop and if I'm the dude

1122
01:28:05,160 --> 01:28:09,160
running a desktop off I can only keep it alive

1123
01:28:09,160 --> 01:28:13,160
through second-hand hardware because literally no one makes this stuff anymore I feel like

1124
01:28:13,160 --> 01:28:17,160
I'm going to be that guy and does that mean I'm just aging

1125
01:28:17,160 --> 01:28:21,160
poorly or whatever maybe maybe when I'm 70

1126
01:28:21,160 --> 01:28:25,160
and I'm still keeping my desktop alive I will be seen as aging

1127
01:28:25,160 --> 01:28:29,160
poorly yeah but I don't think I care I like my spot

1128
01:28:29,160 --> 01:28:31,160
I like having a desktop

1129
01:28:33,160 --> 01:28:35,160
I like how it works

1130
01:28:37,160 --> 01:28:41,160
and if that's the equivalent of having a Windows 98 machine now

1131
01:28:41,160 --> 01:28:45,160
I think that's still fine because I think having a Windows 98 machine now is pretty cool

1132
01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:49,160
yeah I don't think it's going to go away go away because you're not

1133
01:28:49,160 --> 01:28:53,160
going to be the only millennial left in 30 years from now so

1134
01:28:53,160 --> 01:28:57,160
I won't be 70 30 years from now well I will

1135
01:28:57,160 --> 01:28:59,160
right there buddy

1136
01:29:03,160 --> 01:29:07,160
yeah like I don't I don't I'm just saying like and I'm giving a theoretical scenario

1137
01:29:07,160 --> 01:29:11,160
right and there's and there's happens or not and I think that especially

1138
01:29:11,160 --> 01:29:15,160
with how diverse the game development industry is

1139
01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:19,160
even now and I think will become I mean that's something you've talked about a fair bit

1140
01:29:19,160 --> 01:29:23,160
this this splintering off that's happening right now from the big studios

1141
01:29:23,160 --> 01:29:27,160
you're going to have a lot of people who in much the same way that

1142
01:29:27,160 --> 01:29:31,160
game developers are spreading up who are nostalgic for the rich single player

1143
01:29:31,160 --> 01:29:35,160
like pixel art RPG experiences of their youth

1144
01:29:35,160 --> 01:29:39,160
or whatever it is right and are are trying to make that but better and more modern

1145
01:29:39,160 --> 01:29:43,160
I think you're going to have people making games that are designed to be played

1146
01:29:43,160 --> 01:29:47,160
from the client side there's always the indie space yeah but and

1147
01:29:47,160 --> 01:29:51,160
and by and always yeah sure always is a huge word

1148
01:29:51,160 --> 01:29:55,160
very loaded maybe it won't always but in our lifetimes I don't

1149
01:29:55,160 --> 01:29:59,160
see the desktop completely going away it might take on a different form

1150
01:29:59,160 --> 01:30:03,160
the the kind that we use now might not make

1151
01:30:03,160 --> 01:30:07,160
sense anymore we're already seeing soldered memory make its way to

1152
01:30:07,160 --> 01:30:11,160
the desktop not because it's being crammed down our throats but because it runs

1153
01:30:11,160 --> 01:30:15,160
faster like the fact that framework went that route

1154
01:30:15,160 --> 01:30:19,160
was pretty mind blowing to me and the first thing I told them was like hey

1155
01:30:19,160 --> 01:30:23,160
huh like this is not that modular

1156
01:30:23,160 --> 01:30:27,160
and they're like look AMD

1157
01:30:27,160 --> 01:30:31,160
literally like worked with us on this you cannot build

1158
01:30:31,160 --> 01:30:35,160
Strix Halo with with memory modules and maintain the

1159
01:30:35,160 --> 01:30:39,160
performance and it's not that it needs it for the CPU it needs it for the GPU

1160
01:30:39,160 --> 01:30:43,160
and the and and the GPU is becoming integrated the way they

1161
01:30:43,160 --> 01:30:47,160
are in a really weird way that happened we went from that

1162
01:30:47,160 --> 01:30:51,160
conversation right where Intel started talking about you know the

1163
01:30:51,160 --> 01:30:55,160
igpu on the CPU becoming like very powerful and an important part

1164
01:30:55,160 --> 01:30:59,160
and AMD with their fusion way back in the day and the CPU

1165
01:30:59,160 --> 01:31:03,160
and the GPU becoming integrated and we all went yeah but igpu's are so crap

1166
01:31:03,160 --> 01:31:07,160
they're so bad I feel like it just kind of

1167
01:31:07,160 --> 01:31:11,160
everyone was talking about it and it like definitely wasn't going to happen

1168
01:31:11,160 --> 01:31:15,160
and then there was a period of kind of quiet and then it just happened

1169
01:31:15,160 --> 01:31:19,160
happened he's a really how fine is the soldering

1170
01:31:19,160 --> 01:31:23,160
on soldered RAM that's not that bad

1171
01:31:23,160 --> 01:31:27,160
bga RAM can be upgraded a lot of the time

1172
01:31:27,160 --> 01:31:31,160
the issue around both that and then comes down to like like firmware

1173
01:31:31,160 --> 01:31:35,160
handling the firmware but no one is going

1174
01:31:35,160 --> 01:31:39,160
to build a mother board that is designed to have

1175
01:31:39,160 --> 01:31:43,160
the RAM desoldered and resoldered on to it willy nilly and so

1176
01:31:43,160 --> 01:31:47,160
because of that you're never going to get friendly firmware

1177
01:31:47,160 --> 01:31:51,160
even from companies that do have the best intentions and you can make there are

1178
01:31:51,160 --> 01:31:55,160
boards that allow bga chips to just be like like like bolted

1179
01:31:55,160 --> 01:31:59,160
on to them but they're for engineering it's not practical the interface is way too

1180
01:31:59,160 --> 01:32:03,160
expensive and bulky just trying to think like is it possible that's

1181
01:32:03,160 --> 01:32:07,160
the return of like repair shops basically oh yeah

1182
01:32:07,160 --> 01:32:11,160
100% it might not even be upgrading but it might be replacing

1183
01:32:11,160 --> 01:32:15,160
fixing stuff like that 100%

1184
01:32:15,160 --> 01:32:19,160
right the other thing I was going to say is I think Strix Halo is just

1185
01:32:19,160 --> 01:32:23,160
the beginning too because one of the things that was

1186
01:32:23,160 --> 01:32:27,160
most exciting to me about Panther Lake was not

1187
01:32:27,160 --> 01:32:31,160
and this is why I think our Panther Lake coverage back at CES was so

1188
01:32:31,160 --> 01:32:35,160
different from everyone else's because I was

1189
01:32:35,160 --> 01:32:39,160
moderately excited to see Intel return to competition in terms of battery life

1190
01:32:39,160 --> 01:32:43,160
put out a really good IGPU okay no I was more than moderately

1191
01:32:43,160 --> 01:32:47,160
excited for the IGPU moderately excited for the performance

1192
01:32:47,160 --> 01:32:51,160
gains and they moved some caches around and all that kind of stuff that they tend to do

1193
01:32:51,160 --> 01:32:55,160
as they make a new chip but what I was really excited about was

1194
01:32:55,160 --> 01:32:59,160
the modularity of the underlying

1195
01:32:59,160 --> 01:33:03,160
platform like they've got all of this stuff that they were

1196
01:33:03,160 --> 01:33:07,160
talking about for years like Foveros is like

1197
01:33:07,160 --> 01:33:11,160
working it's in shipping silicon

1198
01:33:11,160 --> 01:33:15,160
right now we can just like

1199
01:33:15,160 --> 01:33:19,160
take out and they talked about using third party vendor

1200
01:33:19,160 --> 01:33:23,160
IP so the idea like

1201
01:33:23,160 --> 01:33:27,160
holy crap of getting something like the SOC

1202
01:33:27,160 --> 01:33:31,160
on the Nintendo switch right with like an NVIDIA GPU

1203
01:33:31,160 --> 01:33:35,160
but like an x86 CPU and then like some custom

1204
01:33:35,160 --> 01:33:38,160
you know AI Tom Fulery over here and

1205
01:33:38,160 --> 01:33:42,160
whatever they want over there and having like a like a mega chip

1206
01:33:42,160 --> 01:33:46,160
on something like a framework desktop like a really compact desktop form

1207
01:33:46,160 --> 01:33:49,160
factor that's that's exciting

1208
01:33:49,160 --> 01:33:53,160
that's cool and if they're able to do that

1209
01:33:53,160 --> 01:33:57,160
not on a monolithic die right but through packaging

1210
01:33:57,160 --> 01:34:01,160
then the yields might actually not suck

1211
01:34:01,160 --> 01:34:05,160
and the performance benefit of having it all tightly integrated

1212
01:34:05,160 --> 01:34:09,160
might be worth the cost maybe here's a

1213
01:34:09,160 --> 01:34:13,160
here's an interesting comment from uh

1214
01:34:13,160 --> 01:34:17,160
fartmuncher69 420 uh

1215
01:34:17,160 --> 01:34:21,160
in floodplain chat fartmuncher69

1216
01:34:21,160 --> 01:34:25,160
underscore 420 says enthusiasts will change to running servers

1217
01:34:25,160 --> 01:34:29,160
inside their house instead of desktops in my opinion this is

1218
01:34:29,160 --> 01:34:33,160
really interesting comment because we've talked about that before first of all we have

1219
01:34:33,160 --> 01:34:37,160
second of all in my opinion

1220
01:34:37,160 --> 01:34:41,160
if you look at like tech media what is the only

1221
01:34:41,160 --> 01:34:45,160
thing that like really feels like it's growing right now building like local AI

1222
01:34:45,160 --> 01:34:49,160
crap homebrew yeah or home lab yeah

1223
01:34:49,160 --> 01:34:53,160
I don't know why I said homebrew but yeah like and doing things like that and that's

1224
01:34:53,160 --> 01:34:57,160
a big part of the reason why I think it's growing but also people are looking at like

1225
01:34:57,160 --> 01:35:01,160
oh man like I mean I've been mulling over this this this particular thought

1226
01:35:01,160 --> 01:35:05,160
in my head for a while now it's it's this like you know I'm not

1227
01:35:05,160 --> 01:35:09,160
trying to be a I'm not trying to be a gray man I'm not trying to a gray man is that a thing

1228
01:35:09,160 --> 01:35:13,160
gray man yeah where you like blend in with the crowd and like you're you're you're

1229
01:35:13,160 --> 01:35:17,160
you can't like you're you're all tactical but people can't tell

1230
01:35:17,160 --> 01:35:21,160
I'm not trying to do that I'm not trying to like hide from them the government whatever

1231
01:35:21,160 --> 01:35:23,160
but there's also like

1232
01:35:25,160 --> 01:35:29,160
you know I don't take a picture of my junk every time I go to the washroom and send it to you

1233
01:35:29,160 --> 01:35:33,160
so why should I share all my private things with Google and everybody

1234
01:35:33,160 --> 01:35:37,160
else right so like there's people that are like alright there's a certain level

1235
01:35:37,160 --> 01:35:41,160
of invasion of my privacy that is just like dang dude maybe back off a little bit

1236
01:35:41,160 --> 01:35:45,160
so I think people are trying to split off from certain major services

1237
01:35:45,160 --> 01:35:49,160
not out of again like paranoia oh my god

1238
01:35:49,160 --> 01:35:53,160
I need to be ultra tactical but it's just like whoa like this is actually

1239
01:35:53,160 --> 01:35:57,160
too much I should probably own a little bit more of my data dude I think these two

1240
01:35:57,160 --> 01:36:01,160
things are happening at the same time we did an AMD ultimate tech upgrade

1241
01:36:01,160 --> 01:36:05,160
I guess we shot it a couple of weeks ago for Nate one of our

1242
01:36:05,160 --> 01:36:09,160
guys at Creator Warehouse did I talk about this last week I don't think so

1243
01:36:09,160 --> 01:36:13,160
okay so so we shot an AMD ultimate tech upgrade and one of the

1244
01:36:13,160 --> 01:36:17,160
things that he wanted was a NAS which is like

1245
01:36:17,160 --> 01:36:21,160
yeah sure that's a thing that comes up on these AMD ultimate tech upgrades

1246
01:36:21,160 --> 01:36:25,160
but the difference is that Nate doesn't really do

1247
01:36:25,160 --> 01:36:29,160
any video editing doesn't really

1248
01:36:29,160 --> 01:36:33,160
want a Plex server he doesn't do the stuff

1249
01:36:33,160 --> 01:36:37,160
that we typically think of people wanting NASs for

1250
01:36:37,160 --> 01:36:41,160
and this was really cool and very exciting

1251
01:36:41,160 --> 01:36:45,160
investment disclosure in esh tech

1252
01:36:45,160 --> 01:36:49,160
but they have gotten to the point where what he was after

1253
01:36:49,160 --> 01:36:53,160
was quite literally a matter of like

1254
01:36:53,160 --> 01:36:57,160
maybe 10 clicks to get image setup

1255
01:36:57,160 --> 01:37:01,160
on his remember hexOS is based on TrueNAS

1256
01:37:01,160 --> 01:37:05,160
so the underlying the underlying system

1257
01:37:05,160 --> 01:37:09,160
is TrueNAS, ZFS good stuff

1258
01:37:09,160 --> 01:37:13,160
and he was able to get it setup pretty dashboard, get image

1259
01:37:13,160 --> 01:37:17,160
installed and syncing from his phone in like I kid you not

1260
01:37:17,160 --> 01:37:21,160
about 10 minutes with no trial and error

1261
01:37:21,160 --> 01:37:25,160
and no BS and that was what he wanted it for

1262
01:37:25,160 --> 01:37:29,160
he had a kid recently and he just doesn't want

1263
01:37:29,160 --> 01:37:33,160
to upload to a cloud service because there's a freaking

1264
01:37:33,160 --> 01:37:37,160
limit yeah like it's

1265
01:37:37,160 --> 01:37:41,160
really not it's not edgy

1266
01:37:43,160 --> 01:37:47,160
like you hear these stories oh man this is gonna make conspiracy theorists like

1267
01:37:47,160 --> 01:37:49,160
so

1268
01:37:51,160 --> 01:37:55,160
I'm not gonna say the word for it but yeah I guess

1269
01:37:55,160 --> 01:37:59,160
but it's not why are they feeling like that

1270
01:37:59,160 --> 01:38:03,160
it's not fear of the unknown, it's knowledge did they see someone who's pro-consumer

1271
01:38:05,160 --> 01:38:09,160
jesus christ jesus can't help you

1272
01:38:09,160 --> 01:38:13,160
where we're going brother it's not fear of the unknown, it's knowledge of what's happening

1273
01:38:13,160 --> 01:38:17,160
widely this is an old story

1274
01:38:17,160 --> 01:38:21,160
but you hear about the Tesla stuff where they were like sharing videos

1275
01:38:21,160 --> 01:38:25,160
from inside of people's cars for fun on their slack like this

1276
01:38:25,160 --> 01:38:29,160
is happening we have accepted that even if a company

1277
01:38:29,160 --> 01:38:33,160
is like morally perfect

1278
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:37,160
well they're gonna get hacked anyways like it's if your data is

1279
01:38:37,160 --> 01:38:41,160
is just publicly out there

1280
01:38:41,160 --> 01:38:45,160
people are gonna get it people you don't want to have it will have it eventually

1281
01:38:45,160 --> 01:38:49,160
and realistically most people

1282
01:38:49,160 --> 01:38:53,160
probably not that important yeah but

1283
01:38:53,160 --> 01:38:57,160
but it kinda doesn't matter maybe I still don't want someone seeing it

1284
01:38:57,160 --> 01:39:01,160
maybe that just sucks yeah maybe that's actually an irrelevant part of this conversation

1285
01:39:01,160 --> 01:39:05,160
and maybe we could just not because I know that gets brought up too

1286
01:39:05,160 --> 01:39:09,160
and it's just like dude whatever that doesn't mean I want

1287
01:39:09,160 --> 01:39:13,160
yeah I don't know just

1288
01:39:13,160 --> 01:39:17,160
owning your own stuff I think is shifting from

1289
01:39:17,160 --> 01:39:21,160
paranoid people and hyper enthusiast land to normies

1290
01:39:21,160 --> 01:39:25,160
this is actually just kinda normal now dude I think that

1291
01:39:25,160 --> 01:39:29,160
as cool as it was investing in framework

1292
01:39:29,160 --> 01:39:33,160
and as many good business decisions as I've made for LMG

1293
01:39:33,160 --> 01:39:37,160
and mistakes the investment

1294
01:39:37,160 --> 01:39:41,160
in eshtec and the timing for hexOS

1295
01:39:41,160 --> 01:39:45,160
is gonna end up seeming like clairvoyant

1296
01:39:45,160 --> 01:39:49,160
when they get their product out of

1297
01:39:49,160 --> 01:39:53,160
pre-release and like dude the timing

1298
01:39:53,160 --> 01:39:57,160
like I think they're aiming for sorry I'm gonna jump in while you find that

1299
01:39:57,160 --> 01:40:01,160
dark guy said AI being on your junk for AI porn

1300
01:40:01,160 --> 01:40:05,160
see this is part of my problem though is like you hear stuff like that

1301
01:40:05,160 --> 01:40:09,160
and it's like okay maybe I think he's probably joking but I've

1302
01:40:09,160 --> 01:40:13,160
heard more recently that apparently one of the ways that they prey on women

1303
01:40:13,160 --> 01:40:17,160
is they look for when you delete a bunch of selfies

1304
01:40:17,160 --> 01:40:21,160
because it shows like a low self-esteem moment and then they'll target you

1305
01:40:21,160 --> 01:40:25,160
with ads for like makeup and cosmetic surgeries and stuff like that

1306
01:40:25,160 --> 01:40:29,160
seriously and it's just like maybe I'm just

1307
01:40:29,160 --> 01:40:33,160
gonna host my own photos and you can actually just f*** off

1308
01:40:33,160 --> 01:40:37,160
I just don't actually want you involved with this at all

1309
01:40:37,160 --> 01:40:41,160
so there's a certain level where it's like you're doing stuff with this information

1310
01:40:41,160 --> 01:40:45,160
that is just not okay and like

1311
01:40:45,160 --> 01:40:49,160
you know self-esteem issues in men and women are a problem

1312
01:40:49,160 --> 01:40:53,160
but I think it's pretty well known that like negative emotions

1313
01:40:53,160 --> 01:40:57,160
and negative thoughts and self-esteem issues like that are much more heavily

1314
01:40:57,160 --> 01:41:01,160
present on with

1315
01:41:01,160 --> 01:41:05,160
women and it's just like I don't know get out of here

1316
01:41:05,160 --> 01:41:09,160
so if I can help solve that by like hosting it myself yeah okay maybe I'm gonna do that

1317
01:41:09,160 --> 01:41:13,160
now because I'm tired of this stuff and I think a lot of other people are tired of this too

1318
01:41:13,160 --> 01:41:17,160
I think Instagram was doing that too yeah I don't I don't necessarily know

1319
01:41:17,160 --> 01:41:21,160
so here it is Q1 of 2026

1320
01:41:21,160 --> 01:41:25,160
by March 31st 2026 we will have 1.0

1321
01:41:25,160 --> 01:41:29,160
of HexOS which will include the local UI

1322
01:41:29,160 --> 01:41:33,160
that people were rightly upset wasn't

1323
01:41:33,160 --> 01:41:37,160
initially planned for the launch

1324
01:41:37,160 --> 01:41:41,160
Q1 of this year yeah and like that's

1325
01:41:41,160 --> 01:41:45,160
that's awesome and if you don't want to go that route there's tons of other routes as well

1326
01:41:45,160 --> 01:41:49,160
yes lots of other options what I love about this one

1327
01:41:49,160 --> 01:41:53,160
is the philosophy of making and secure and robust

1328
01:41:53,160 --> 01:41:57,160
simple but if you decide you're going down this route

1329
01:41:57,160 --> 01:42:01,160
regardless you can go that route and skip the steps

1330
01:42:01,160 --> 01:42:05,160
or there's a massive extremely vibrant community around doing it for free as well

1331
01:42:05,160 --> 01:42:09,160
yes level 1 forums is really good for it

1332
01:42:09,160 --> 01:42:13,160
there's stuff on I mean there's stuff on the line of executives forum lots

1333
01:42:13,160 --> 01:42:17,160
there's stuff on reddit everywhere there's tons of YouTube creators there's tons of people all over the place

1334
01:42:17,160 --> 01:42:21,160
that would be more than happy to help you with all of these things

1335
01:42:21,160 --> 01:42:25,160
the discord age verification thing people are posting about that as well like this is yeah

1336
01:42:25,160 --> 01:42:29,160
this is just another example of like this to me is very

1337
01:42:29,160 --> 01:42:33,160
clearly within the law

1338
01:42:33,160 --> 01:42:37,160
mass data harvesting and it's just

1339
01:42:37,160 --> 01:42:39,160
everywhere now and it's just too much

1340
01:42:41,160 --> 01:42:43,160
just tired of it

1341
01:42:45,160 --> 01:42:49,160
I think I don't have much more to say I think having your own

1342
01:42:49,160 --> 01:42:53,160
NAS is going to go from a thing that weird pirates do

1343
01:42:53,160 --> 01:42:57,160
to a thing that just is like a normal thing that people

1344
01:42:57,160 --> 01:43:01,160
should do if they care about the privacy at all

1345
01:43:01,160 --> 01:43:05,160
I wouldn't be surprised maybe I'm being too in our own bubble

1346
01:43:05,160 --> 01:43:09,160
about this but I wouldn't be surprised if in a certain amount of time

1347
01:43:09,160 --> 01:43:13,160
it's like weird if you don't have some form of your own owned

1348
01:43:13,160 --> 01:43:17,160
large storage I mean

1349
01:43:17,160 --> 01:43:21,160
it's going to get hard with what was it?

1350
01:43:21,160 --> 01:43:25,160
was it WD who said all of their hold on

1351
01:43:25,160 --> 01:43:29,160
hard drive you know what let's jump right into this topic then

1352
01:43:29,160 --> 01:43:33,160
hard drive capacity for western digital is sold out

1353
01:43:33,160 --> 01:43:37,160
for 2026 WD's CEO revealed

1354
01:43:37,160 --> 01:43:41,160
during the company earnings call that they're pretty much sold out of HDD production

1355
01:43:41,160 --> 01:43:45,160
capacity for all of this calendar year with firm purchase orders from their

1356
01:43:45,160 --> 01:43:49,160
top seven customers WD has also signed long term

1357
01:43:49,160 --> 01:43:53,160
agreements LTA's with two customers that extend into

1358
01:43:53,160 --> 01:43:57,160
2027 and one into 2028

1359
01:43:57,160 --> 01:44:01,160
this demand is driven driven almost entirely by AI

1360
01:44:01,160 --> 01:44:05,160
data centers cloud revenue now accounts for

1361
01:44:05,160 --> 01:44:09,160
89% of WD's total revenue

1362
01:44:09,160 --> 01:44:13,160
while consumer revenue has shrunk to just

1363
01:44:13,160 --> 01:44:17,160
5% let's take a moment

1364
01:44:17,160 --> 01:44:21,160
and wrap our brains around that

1365
01:44:21,160 --> 01:44:25,160
and obviously it doesn't quite work like this but at the western

1366
01:44:25,160 --> 01:44:29,160
digital factory okay as the drives

1367
01:44:29,160 --> 01:44:33,160
are rolling along the conveyor and dropping into the bucket at the

1368
01:44:33,160 --> 01:44:37,160
end of the conveyor those drives they're all done now

1369
01:44:37,160 --> 01:44:41,160
one out of 20 is destined for a consumer

1370
01:44:45,160 --> 01:44:49,160
what 19

1371
01:44:49,160 --> 01:44:53,160
out of those 20 so for every hard drive

1372
01:44:53,160 --> 01:44:57,160
you see in a consumer system shipping today

1373
01:44:57,160 --> 01:45:01,160
19 more are going elsewhere

1374
01:45:01,160 --> 01:45:05,160
with 18 of them headed to the data center

1375
01:45:05,160 --> 01:45:07,160
to the cloud

1376
01:45:09,160 --> 01:45:13,160
hard drive prices have already surged nearly 50%

1377
01:45:13,160 --> 01:45:17,160
in the last 5 months according to Tom's hardware following a similar pattern

1378
01:45:17,160 --> 01:45:21,160
to RAM and NAND which are also in shortage

1379
01:45:21,160 --> 01:45:25,160
because of the current AI build out yeah I forget this out

1380
01:45:25,160 --> 01:45:29,160
unintentionally I was trying to help someone configure a build and the

1381
01:45:29,160 --> 01:45:33,160
performance like was not

1382
01:45:33,160 --> 01:45:37,160
very important so I actually recommended

1383
01:45:37,160 --> 01:45:41,160
the core most important thing was hard drive so I recommend

1384
01:45:41,160 --> 01:45:45,160
to get a hard drive we check the use market because of course and I was like

1385
01:45:45,160 --> 01:45:49,160
oh everything's really high

1386
01:45:49,160 --> 01:45:53,160
I feel like these are just like people expecting too much value because like the use market

1387
01:45:53,160 --> 01:45:57,160
around here is I know what I got is not yeah the use market around here is not

1388
01:45:57,160 --> 01:46:01,160
always super vibrant for everything so it's like okay let's

1389
01:46:01,160 --> 01:46:05,160
jump on stores because I've seen literally during scrap yard wars yeah where it's

1390
01:46:05,160 --> 01:46:09,160
actually cheaper to just buy a new drive sometimes which is whack yeah like that has

1391
01:46:09,160 --> 01:46:13,160
happened it's a thing um so like okay let's just jump on the stores and I was like what is

1392
01:46:13,160 --> 01:46:17,160
going like why are the hard drive so expensive and then I started diving into things and I was like

1393
01:46:17,160 --> 01:46:21,160
oh no it's coming again isn't it I found three WD greens

1394
01:46:21,160 --> 01:46:25,160
two terabytes each from um

1395
01:46:25,160 --> 01:46:29,160
just to give you some idea of how old they are they have archived footage from

1396
01:46:29,160 --> 01:46:33,160
when we were at the Langley house on them they were the old cold storage

1397
01:46:33,160 --> 01:46:37,160
drives yeah so each of them only has I think

1398
01:46:37,160 --> 01:46:41,160
around a few dozen power on and off cycles and like

1399
01:46:41,160 --> 01:46:43,160
a couple hundred power on hours

1400
01:46:45,160 --> 01:46:49,160
I bet those are worth close today

1401
01:46:49,160 --> 01:46:53,160
to what they were worth then which is so

1402
01:46:53,160 --> 01:46:57,160
messed up completely wackadoodle

1403
01:46:57,160 --> 01:47:01,160
Dan chime up say it

1404
01:47:01,160 --> 01:47:05,160
yeah sure I didn't want to interrupt no but yeah my uh

1405
01:47:05,160 --> 01:47:09,160
my ass is they're nearing their five year kind of scary age

1406
01:47:09,160 --> 01:47:13,160
and I have five 15 terabytes in there

1407
01:47:15,160 --> 01:47:19,160
I'm gonna be poor how much is that gonna run you right now

1408
01:47:19,160 --> 01:47:23,160
oh my god Luke please check Luke I'm working on it I have

1409
01:47:23,160 --> 01:47:27,160
a WD green is worth 80 bucks

1410
01:47:27,160 --> 01:47:31,160
for a two terabyte that's nuts okay so no they're not as bad

1411
01:47:31,160 --> 01:47:35,160
as they would have been like 12 years ago or whatever but that's

1412
01:47:35,160 --> 01:47:39,160
too much to be paying for a two terabyte drive you said 15 terabytes Dan

1413
01:47:39,160 --> 01:47:43,160
Seagate Barracuda is what I have in there right now or Exos

1414
01:47:43,160 --> 01:47:47,160
something like that oh god they might be the same Exos we're like kind of cheap for a bit

1415
01:47:47,160 --> 01:47:51,160
okay okay in fairness four terabyte drives are around

1416
01:47:51,160 --> 01:47:55,160
the same price here's one from Seagate for 90 bucks but he needs

1417
01:47:55,160 --> 01:47:59,160
15s no no I know I'm just talking about those stupid greens

1418
01:47:59,160 --> 01:48:03,160
is this a phase where you would expect to upgrade are you looking for 20s

1419
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:07,160
if there's 20s I didn't do the math recently because power on ours

1420
01:48:07,160 --> 01:48:11,160
weren't getting too crazy but like I got to think

1421
01:48:11,160 --> 01:48:15,160
about it I was looking at SSDs and

1422
01:48:15,160 --> 01:48:19,160
remortgaging my left kidney yeah that's uh

1423
01:48:19,160 --> 01:48:23,160
so yeah 18s for like a red pro nas drive

1424
01:48:23,160 --> 01:48:27,160
is 400 dollars that's probably cheaper than it used to be

1425
01:48:27,160 --> 01:48:31,160
I'm seeing I'm seeing four to four to seven hundred

1426
01:48:31,160 --> 01:48:35,160
dollars depending on the models yeah that sounds about the same

1427
01:48:35,160 --> 01:48:39,160
but I'm also not seeing 15s the sweet spot seems to be a little higher than

1428
01:48:39,160 --> 01:48:43,160
15 right now the 20 the 20 terabyte is 420 nice

1429
01:48:43,160 --> 01:48:47,160
um okay so I'm fine sick you're fine

1430
01:48:47,160 --> 01:48:51,160
oh really you're buying 15 I mean that's still

1431
01:48:51,160 --> 01:48:55,160
that's still too grand and this is us dollars sir okay that's

1432
01:48:55,160 --> 01:48:59,160
because I remember paying about 400 bucks a drive

1433
01:48:59,160 --> 01:49:03,160
five years ago yeah sorry Canadian I'm seeing on the Canadian site

1434
01:49:03,160 --> 01:49:07,160
I'm seeing iron wolf pro 20 terabytes for 600 bucks

1435
01:49:07,160 --> 01:49:11,160
okay that's not that far off he's getting 30 percent more capacity

1436
01:49:11,160 --> 01:49:15,160
for about 30 percent more it's not better

1437
01:49:15,160 --> 01:49:19,160
it's not like it used to be the price was always the same

1438
01:49:19,160 --> 01:49:23,160
where the price would always go down per Gigabyte

1439
01:49:23,160 --> 01:49:27,160
but we talked about this it keeps coming back to that bloody video I made

1440
01:49:27,160 --> 01:49:31,160
where I was like YouTube premium should cost more money or whatever

1441
01:49:31,160 --> 01:49:35,160
what was the premise of that but basically I was like hey look

1442
01:49:35,160 --> 01:49:39,160
you gotta understand Moore's law is dead the law of

1443
01:49:39,160 --> 01:49:43,160
storage being cheaper is dead this platform costs more and more

1444
01:49:43,160 --> 01:49:47,160
and more and more to maintain people use it something's gotta give

1445
01:49:49,160 --> 01:49:53,160
well it looks like I'm not as homeless as I thought it was gonna be

1446
01:49:53,160 --> 01:49:57,160
just a little bit John McGee 1996 asks is this gonna get worse

1447
01:49:57,160 --> 01:50:01,160
or is there any indication of balancing out type of situation hold on just give me

1448
01:50:01,160 --> 01:50:03,160
one second

1449
01:50:05,160 --> 01:50:09,160
you can't see it but this is

1450
01:50:11,160 --> 01:50:15,160
just gonna polish my ball here the gaze into it

1451
01:50:15,160 --> 01:50:19,160
consult the orb we're going full gaze here

1452
01:50:23,160 --> 01:50:25,160
I don't know

1453
01:50:29,160 --> 01:50:33,160
I thought you were gonna give some whole impassioned speech about

1454
01:50:33,160 --> 01:50:37,160
trying to tell the future and stuff and then I don't know

1455
01:50:37,160 --> 01:50:41,160
that was good and the thing is

1456
01:50:41,160 --> 01:50:45,160
like obviously I was kicking myself for not just stockpiling

1457
01:50:45,160 --> 01:50:49,160
a bunch of DRAM but I've been in this industry for so long

1458
01:50:49,160 --> 01:50:53,160
do you know how many times I've heard DRAMs going up

1459
01:50:53,160 --> 01:50:57,160
it's going up and like what for a month or two it'll trend up

1460
01:50:57,160 --> 01:51:01,160
for a little bit maybe for a quarter or two but it always

1461
01:51:01,160 --> 01:51:05,160
it always comes back down because at the end of the day it's

1462
01:51:05,160 --> 01:51:09,160
people who they earn their money

1463
01:51:09,160 --> 01:51:13,160
working on all the forecasting for all this crap years in advance

1464
01:51:13,160 --> 01:51:17,160
that mostly have done a pretty good job over the years of predicting

1465
01:51:17,160 --> 01:51:21,160
where demand and supply is going to go and making sure that they're striking

1466
01:51:21,160 --> 01:51:25,160
a balance between maintaining the profitability of their fabs and also

1467
01:51:25,160 --> 01:51:29,160
not over supplying or not under supplying the market

1468
01:51:29,160 --> 01:51:33,160
making sure that they can supply all their big customers including direct to

1469
01:51:33,160 --> 01:51:37,160
consumers and I don't think there's a precedent

1470
01:51:37,160 --> 01:51:41,160
for them f***ing it up this badly nobody saw this boom

1471
01:51:41,160 --> 01:51:45,160
coming and there is no quick fix there's no like oh well let's

1472
01:51:45,160 --> 01:51:49,160
just I'm trying to think of a game where you

1473
01:51:49,160 --> 01:51:53,160
were built yeah ANO there's no ANO just plopping down

1474
01:51:53,160 --> 01:51:57,160
a new fab and then you just run a little road to it and now the supply chain

1475
01:51:57,160 --> 01:52:01,160
is fixed it just doesn't work like that so

1476
01:52:01,160 --> 01:52:05,160
I don't know because the bubble could pop and if the bubble

1477
01:52:05,160 --> 01:52:09,160
pops all these purchase orders

1478
01:52:09,160 --> 01:52:13,160
just be sitting there they as far as

1479
01:52:13,160 --> 01:52:17,160
I can tell they they like what are you what are you going to do like what's that

1480
01:52:17,160 --> 01:52:21,160
what's that famous saying if you owe the the bank

1481
01:52:21,160 --> 01:52:25,160
a thousand dollars you have a problem if you if you owe the bank

1482
01:52:25,160 --> 01:52:29,160
if you if you have a loan from the bank for twenty thousand dollars that's a you

1483
01:52:29,160 --> 01:52:33,160
problem if you have a loan from the bank for twenty billion dollars that's the banks

1484
01:52:33,160 --> 01:52:37,160
problem yeah and so that quote something along those lines and in the same way

1485
01:52:37,160 --> 01:52:41,160
like if if this whole thing just

1486
01:52:41,160 --> 01:52:45,160
crashes there's literally going to be no one to

1487
01:52:45,160 --> 01:52:49,160
you know fulfill this one trillion dollar RAM order

1488
01:52:49,160 --> 01:52:53,160
or you know whatever whatever magic on on paper money

1489
01:52:53,160 --> 01:52:57,160
has been exchanged in advance or whatever commitments have been made so

1490
01:52:57,160 --> 01:53:01,160
if anything there will be a huge crash in the

1491
01:53:01,160 --> 01:53:05,160
pricing of this stuff and it'll be it'll be a free RAM for

1492
01:53:05,160 --> 01:53:09,160
all but when that will happen

1493
01:53:11,160 --> 01:53:15,160
I have no way of knowing if any I like from my point of view and I'm just I'm not a

1494
01:53:15,160 --> 01:53:19,160
finance guy right like I'm I'm a tech nuts and bolts

1495
01:53:19,160 --> 01:53:23,160
guy from my point of view we should have all figured

1496
01:53:23,160 --> 01:53:27,160
out that this is not going to result in the kind of

1497
01:53:27,160 --> 01:53:31,160
the kind of revenue generation that would justify the investment

1498
01:53:31,160 --> 01:53:35,160
that's going into it ages ago

1499
01:53:35,160 --> 01:53:39,160
we should already be there so I'm just sitting here going well

1500
01:53:39,160 --> 01:53:43,160
can I stay solvent longer than the market

1501
01:53:43,160 --> 01:53:45,160
can stay irrational

1502
01:53:47,160 --> 01:53:49,160
the answer is no

1503
01:53:51,160 --> 01:53:55,160
yeah Dan check your email full planchats cooking

1504
01:53:55,160 --> 01:53:57,160
are they finding them deals

1505
01:53:59,160 --> 01:54:03,160
or I think I might actually just need four which is kind of nice

1506
01:54:03,160 --> 01:54:07,160
sick get shocked

1507
01:54:07,160 --> 01:54:11,160
mega cool asks hey question

1508
01:54:11,160 --> 01:54:15,160
are tariffs responsible for this consumer hardware shortage at all or is it really just

1509
01:54:15,160 --> 01:54:19,160
because of stupid AI tariffs aren't helping

1510
01:54:19,160 --> 01:54:23,160
yeah but it's a shortage globally

1511
01:54:23,160 --> 01:54:27,160
yes so like tariffs are not helping

1512
01:54:27,160 --> 01:54:31,160
I can tell you that much but the shortage is

1513
01:54:31,160 --> 01:54:35,160
a much more macro problem that is not to do with

1514
01:54:35,160 --> 01:54:39,160
a tantrum that a particular world leader is having at a particular

1515
01:54:39,160 --> 01:54:43,160
moment does this affect you guys as a channel absolutely

1516
01:54:43,160 --> 01:54:47,160
in like so many ways constantly and every day

1517
01:54:47,160 --> 01:54:51,160
this hobby has never been more difficult to get into

1518
01:54:51,160 --> 01:54:55,160
ah no I actually wouldn't say that ring true it's

1519
01:54:55,160 --> 01:54:59,160
even more frustrating to participate in yes I'll say

1520
01:54:59,160 --> 01:55:03,160
that yeah it was definitely a lot more difficult to get into in the

1521
01:55:03,160 --> 01:55:07,160
like much more further past in the 80 days yeah like where would you find

1522
01:55:07,160 --> 01:55:11,160
resources to to learn to I mean there was laptops that were $3,000

1523
01:55:11,160 --> 01:55:15,160
in like the early 90s you go way back to like the hobbyist days

1524
01:55:15,160 --> 01:55:19,160
yeah and I mean never mind even from a pricing standpoint

1525
01:55:19,160 --> 01:55:23,160
but it sucks right now you can still buy a sick game I mean I told you we've got that

1526
01:55:23,160 --> 01:55:27,160
gaming PC video coming you can still buy a sick gaming PC for $1,000 we went

1527
01:55:27,160 --> 01:55:31,160
to David and I this video is coming out really soon I talked about this one we went to

1528
01:55:31,160 --> 01:55:35,160
Costco and we brought a we bought a great computer for like 1250

1529
01:55:35,160 --> 01:55:39,160
US or something like that very capable little gaming machine

1530
01:55:39,160 --> 01:55:43,160
am 5 like like modern platform gaming

1531
01:55:43,160 --> 01:55:47,160
machine with the was a 9600 I think it was the

1532
01:55:47,160 --> 01:55:51,160
I think it was the XT 9600 XT perfectly

1533
01:55:51,160 --> 01:55:55,160
excellent gaming card I played some expedition 33 on it and I was like yep this is a gaming PC

1534
01:55:55,160 --> 01:55:59,160
and and that's really great it's really amazing that you can

1535
01:55:59,160 --> 01:56:03,160
you can get into it like that but it's also really

1536
01:56:03,160 --> 01:56:07,160
frustrating that we had it so good for so long

1537
01:56:07,160 --> 01:56:11,160
and it's been it feels like it's been torn

1538
01:56:11,160 --> 01:56:15,160
out of our fingers and the reason the reason

1539
01:56:15,160 --> 01:56:19,160
is the hard part like if if Moore's law was just dead

1540
01:56:19,160 --> 01:56:23,160
and everyone was doing their earnest best to overcome

1541
01:56:23,160 --> 01:56:27,160
it and the answer was fake frames I think everyone

1542
01:56:27,160 --> 01:56:31,160
would go okay sure

1543
01:56:33,160 --> 01:56:37,160
but not everyone but I yeah not everyone but you I think

1544
01:56:37,160 --> 01:56:41,160
you get what I mean yeah yeah but if the reason that this stuff is not affordable

1545
01:56:41,160 --> 01:56:45,160
and the reason that we're going the direction that we're going is because

1546
01:56:45,160 --> 01:56:49,160
you know I don't know if you Sam Altman needs more RAM

1547
01:56:49,160 --> 01:56:53,160
then I think that's a lot harder to swallow it's a lot harder to be passionate about

1548
01:56:53,160 --> 01:56:57,160
to get excited about I also think

1549
01:56:57,160 --> 01:57:01,160
that I mean if if companies like WD

1550
01:57:01,160 --> 01:57:05,160
are having 5% of their revenue be consumer

1551
01:57:05,160 --> 01:57:09,160
and you see more patterns like what micron did happening where these

1552
01:57:09,160 --> 01:57:11,160
where these

1553
01:57:15,160 --> 01:57:19,160
traditionally known in the western market brands

1554
01:57:19,160 --> 01:57:23,160
that's all I'll say it start kind of exiting

1555
01:57:23,160 --> 01:57:27,160
I'm not saying western digital is exiting but micron did for reasons that western digital

1556
01:57:27,160 --> 01:57:31,160
is experiencing so it wouldn't be unreasonable to see other brands

1557
01:57:31,160 --> 01:57:35,160
do a similar thing I think

1558
01:57:35,160 --> 01:57:39,160
maybe in a really weird way one of the saviors of the desktop

1559
01:57:39,160 --> 01:57:43,160
PC market might be

1560
01:57:43,160 --> 01:57:47,160
China because

1561
01:57:47,160 --> 01:57:51,160
there is a consumer market yeah definitely so like if certain

1562
01:57:51,160 --> 01:57:55,160
brands are just going well all the monies in

1563
01:57:55,160 --> 01:57:59,160
data center well that's not true

1564
01:57:59,160 --> 01:58:03,160
it's just there's a crazy amount of money in data center so like

1565
01:58:03,160 --> 01:58:07,160
I don't know somebody's going to step in

1566
01:58:07,160 --> 01:58:11,160
and there's a lot of very hungry Chinese companies trying to

1567
01:58:11,160 --> 01:58:15,160
get into computer components so like I think it was

1568
01:58:15,160 --> 01:58:17,160
hardware unboxed that made a video on

1569
01:58:19,160 --> 01:58:23,160
one of the Chinese DRAM companies

1570
01:58:25,160 --> 01:58:27,160
hardware unboxed

1571
01:58:29,160 --> 01:58:33,160
CM rcx rather hold on

1572
01:58:33,160 --> 01:58:37,160
cxmt xmt

1573
01:58:37,160 --> 01:58:41,160
ymtc I think one of them did a

1574
01:58:41,160 --> 01:58:45,160
yeah 32 gig king bank

1575
01:58:45,160 --> 01:58:49,160
kfrw ddr5 6000 cl36

1576
01:58:49,160 --> 01:58:53,160
soreblade cxmt review hardware unboxed

1577
01:58:53,160 --> 01:58:57,160
and it was like fine I guess

1578
01:58:57,160 --> 01:59:01,160
that could help but

1579
01:59:01,160 --> 01:59:05,160
I don't think they have a ton of capacity at least not right now

1580
01:59:05,160 --> 01:59:09,160
not right now not right now I'm not talking about right now

1581
01:59:09,160 --> 01:59:13,160
but that's the thing about China is how long

1582
01:59:13,160 --> 01:59:17,160
did it take them to build hospitals during covid like days or something

1583
01:59:17,160 --> 01:59:21,160
um China builds hospital

1584
01:59:21,160 --> 01:59:25,160
in 10 days that was nuts

1585
01:59:25,160 --> 01:59:29,160
that is nuts that is nuts

1586
01:59:29,160 --> 01:59:33,160
and this is a different type of scaling and a different type of building and all that kind of stuff

1587
01:59:33,160 --> 01:59:37,160
but like if there's opportunity there somebody's going to chase it

1588
01:59:37,160 --> 01:59:41,160
and if the traditional brands are going data center it doesn't mean consumers

1589
01:59:41,160 --> 01:59:45,160
are out of the market right like it's we're still here there's still a big market

1590
01:59:45,160 --> 01:59:49,160
we're still hungry we're interested in things there's still billions of dollars to be made

1591
01:59:49,160 --> 01:59:53,160
selling to consumers and I think consumers are probably less

1592
01:59:53,160 --> 01:59:57,160
able than data center is

1593
01:59:57,160 --> 02:00:01,160
if data center uses something and it works oh dude that's where you have all those quotes

1594
02:00:01,160 --> 02:00:05,160
of like nobody was fired for buying IBM yeah dude AMD has been

1595
02:00:05,160 --> 02:00:09,160
well okay it's not as cut and dried as AMD has been better than Intel

1596
02:00:09,160 --> 02:00:13,160
in server for years but they've been a very compelling

1597
02:00:13,160 --> 02:00:17,160
option compared to Intel for years and years now

1598
02:00:17,160 --> 02:00:21,160
and how slowly that market share shifts compared to consumers

1599
02:00:21,160 --> 02:00:25,160
who just seem to be able to are willing to pivot a lot faster

1600
02:00:25,160 --> 02:00:29,160
it's less relationship and contract forecasting driven it's more like

1601
02:00:29,160 --> 02:00:33,160
I go and I see what's what's good right now

1602
02:00:33,160 --> 02:00:37,160
it's like recommended by my enthusiast buddy I want more FPS you know

1603
02:00:37,160 --> 02:00:41,160
like it's a very different decision making process SuperWisk says

1604
02:00:41,160 --> 02:00:45,160
how long until NVIDIA just gives up on GeForce I

1605
02:00:45,160 --> 02:00:49,160
don't think they will and my reason for that is largely

1606
02:00:49,160 --> 02:00:53,160
geopolitical really

1607
02:00:53,160 --> 02:00:57,160
I think they are much more geopolitical than

1608
02:00:57,160 --> 02:01:01,160
a lot of the other brands I think I think in my opinion

1609
02:01:01,160 --> 02:01:05,160
NVIDIA is extremely invested in Taiwan's

1610
02:01:05,160 --> 02:01:09,160
market dominance and wants to

1611
02:01:09,160 --> 02:01:13,160
hold themselves there but why do they need gaming for that

1612
02:01:13,160 --> 02:01:17,160
because I think they would take anything they can

1613
02:01:17,160 --> 02:01:21,160
and if they can take data center and gaming

1614
02:01:21,160 --> 02:01:25,160
and anything else I think they'll grab it and hold on to it

1615
02:01:25,160 --> 02:01:29,160
I think they will continue to make gaming GPUs but for a different

1616
02:01:29,160 --> 02:01:33,160
reason I think that for many years the gaming

1617
02:01:33,160 --> 02:01:37,160
R&D fueled the data center products

1618
02:01:37,160 --> 02:01:41,160
and now we're seeing that kind of flip around

1619
02:01:41,160 --> 02:01:45,160
where the data center R&D on things like machine learning

1620
02:01:45,160 --> 02:01:49,160
is fueling advancements on the gaming side

1621
02:01:49,160 --> 02:01:53,160
but I I think it's less about

1622
02:01:53,160 --> 02:01:57,160
geopolitics and I think it's less about

1623
02:01:57,160 --> 02:02:01,160
Taiwan and for me I think it's more about tradition

1624
02:02:01,160 --> 02:02:05,160
I think there's at least as long as NVIDIA's leadership remains

1625
02:02:05,160 --> 02:02:09,160
as it is I think there's a lot of ego

1626
02:02:09,160 --> 02:02:13,160
and a lot of pride and I don't necessarily even mean those

1627
02:02:13,160 --> 02:02:17,160
negative ways I think that

1628
02:02:17,160 --> 02:02:21,160
GeForce dominates gaming is a point of personal pride

1629
02:02:21,160 --> 02:02:25,160
and part of the origin story of NVIDIA

1630
02:02:25,160 --> 02:02:29,160
this is definitely part if not the majority of it

1631
02:02:29,160 --> 02:02:33,160
if anyone were to challenge NVIDIA in what has been traditionally

1632
02:02:33,160 --> 02:02:37,160
for the longest period their stomping ground

1633
02:02:37,160 --> 02:02:41,160
I think NVIDIA sees the gaming market as

1634
02:02:41,160 --> 02:02:45,160
basically their birthright at this point and fuck anyone who tries

1635
02:02:45,160 --> 02:02:49,160
to take it from them I think they would cut open

1636
02:02:49,160 --> 02:02:53,160
their money bags and bleed it rather than lose their dominant market

1637
02:02:53,160 --> 02:02:57,160
sharing gaming quite frankly because we've seen them do it when AMD was competitive

1638
02:02:57,160 --> 02:03:01,160
they were willing to do anything sometimes it wasn't even just

1639
02:03:01,160 --> 02:03:05,160
to sell more GeForce it was to just fuck over anyone

1640
02:03:05,160 --> 02:03:09,160
who tries to dare sell a graphics card and I don't even necessarily

1641
02:03:09,160 --> 02:03:13,160
again I don't even necessarily mean that in like a negative way

1642
02:03:13,160 --> 02:03:17,160
I mean that in a highly competitive way

1643
02:03:17,160 --> 02:03:21,160
they've done stuff that I would describe as anti-competitive

1644
02:03:21,160 --> 02:03:25,160
but what I'm talking about right now is the competitive spirit of NVIDIA

1645
02:03:25,160 --> 02:03:29,160
and sometimes that competitive spirit can lead them to do things that are anti-competitive

1646
02:03:29,160 --> 02:03:33,160
but it's not what I'm talking about right now it also feels like

1647
02:03:35,160 --> 02:03:39,160
yeah I mean I think this is fair we have more of that than a lot of companies

1648
02:03:39,160 --> 02:03:43,160
NVIDIA feels very raw raw

1649
02:03:43,160 --> 02:03:47,160
oh yeah I mean I think Jensen takes it personally when like he loses market share

1650
02:03:47,160 --> 02:03:51,160
yeah and that kind of passion

1651
02:03:51,160 --> 02:03:55,160
is important from a leader it's probably not a small part

1652
02:03:55,160 --> 02:03:59,160
of NVIDIA's ongoing success I mean pointed a company

1653
02:03:59,160 --> 02:04:03,160
that has executed so consistently

1654
02:04:03,160 --> 02:04:07,160
for like 20 plus years NVIDIA founded it was like 1990

1655
02:04:07,160 --> 02:04:11,160
people also like notoriously don't quit and like they have this

1656
02:04:11,160 --> 02:04:13,160
internal culture of like

1657
02:04:15,160 --> 02:04:19,160
reeducation and internal classes that you can take and stuff because they

1658
02:04:19,160 --> 02:04:23,160
feel yeah it's all very interesting

1659
02:04:23,160 --> 02:04:27,160
I don't want to glaze NVIDIA too much when they do a lot of things I don't like

1660
02:04:27,160 --> 02:04:31,160
but yeah I mean you can't deny that they're winners

1661
02:04:31,160 --> 02:04:33,160
yeah

1662
02:04:35,160 --> 02:04:39,160
speaking of winners you can be a winner

1663
02:04:39,160 --> 02:04:43,160
by um

1664
02:04:43,160 --> 02:04:47,160
learning about check out messages or calm

1665
02:04:47,160 --> 02:04:49,160
sorry it took me a second to remember what they're called now

1666
02:04:51,160 --> 02:04:55,160
the way to interact with the mark of a great name the way to interact with the when

1667
02:04:55,160 --> 02:04:59,160
show is of course not through super chats

1668
02:04:59,160 --> 02:05:03,160
not through twitch bits but through check out messages

1669
02:05:03,160 --> 02:05:07,160
I believe that when you throw money at your screen you should get something

1670
02:05:07,160 --> 02:05:11,160
in return and in our case

1671
02:05:11,160 --> 02:05:15,160
it's high quality merchandise from lttstore.com and the product we're launching

1672
02:05:15,160 --> 02:05:19,160
this week is kind of a funny story

1673
02:05:19,160 --> 02:05:23,160
do you want to bring up the page on the site this is called the schrodinger's cat patch hoodie

1674
02:05:23,160 --> 02:05:27,160
shout out to Matthew on the fashion team for coming up with the name because

1675
02:05:27,160 --> 02:05:31,160
it's kind of genius um there may

1676
02:05:31,160 --> 02:05:35,160
or there may not be an LTX logo under the cat

1677
02:05:35,160 --> 02:05:39,160
patch you can't see it which means it's in a state

1678
02:05:39,160 --> 02:05:43,160
of superposition until someone does something to test that theory

1679
02:05:43,160 --> 02:05:47,160
which we would strongly advise against because it would mean that your cat patch is no longer on

1680
02:05:47,160 --> 02:05:51,160
your hoodie if you've been around since the LTX

1681
02:05:51,160 --> 02:05:55,160
days you will recognize the tie-dye base of this particular

1682
02:05:55,160 --> 02:05:59,160
hoodie this is officially the last of those finally

1683
02:05:59,160 --> 02:06:03,160
we're done and for anyone newer it's our 100% french

1684
02:06:03,160 --> 02:06:07,160
terry cotton hoodie soft breathable structured and now featuring

1685
02:06:07,160 --> 02:06:11,160
this schrodinger's cat patch on top you can find it live

1686
02:06:11,160 --> 02:06:15,160
now at LMG.gg slash cat patch

1687
02:06:15,160 --> 02:06:19,160
hoodie so the reason for these is that our first

1688
02:06:19,160 --> 02:06:23,160
batch of LTX 23 hoodies had the LTX

1689
02:06:23,160 --> 02:06:27,160
logo crooked it was aligned to and you know what

1690
02:06:27,160 --> 02:06:31,160
seriously our printer has done so many perfect prints

1691
02:06:31,160 --> 02:06:35,160
for us over the years that I don't even I don't even blame him

1692
02:06:35,160 --> 02:06:39,160
because it was aligned to something but then something

1693
02:06:39,160 --> 02:06:43,160
about the way the garment fit meant that when you wore it it was like

1694
02:06:43,160 --> 02:06:47,160
angled it was angled off the relative to the floor

1695
02:06:47,160 --> 02:06:51,160
and so we had to reprint all

1696
02:06:51,160 --> 02:06:55,160
of the hoodies for the show like I think it was like three or five days before something

1697
02:06:55,160 --> 02:06:59,160
like that I can't remember the exact timeline but we had to reprint the hoodies and then

1698
02:06:59,160 --> 02:07:03,160
we spent years trying to figure out what the heck

1699
02:07:03,160 --> 02:07:07,160
to do with those hoodies no the logo was not sewn on it was

1700
02:07:07,160 --> 02:07:11,160
silk screened so the cat patch being sewn on is new it's an

1701
02:07:11,160 --> 02:07:15,160
upgrade look at this quality cat patch I think this was Lisa's handiwork

1702
02:07:15,160 --> 02:07:19,160
isn't it adorable anyway

1703
02:07:21,160 --> 02:07:25,160
it took us until now to figure out what to do with them so this is your last chance

1704
02:07:25,160 --> 02:07:29,160
to get the tie-dye hoodie and it has a cute little cat patch on it and Luke

1705
02:07:29,160 --> 02:07:33,160
showed you guys how to find it on the site and next he's going to

1706
02:07:33,160 --> 02:07:37,160
show you guys how to send a merge message all you he won't he won't do that

1707
02:07:37,160 --> 02:07:41,160
I'm sorry he will not do that oh crap he will show you how to send a

1708
02:07:41,160 --> 02:07:45,160
com a checkout message bloody hell

1709
02:07:45,160 --> 02:07:49,160
okay all you got to do is add anything to your cart

1710
02:07:49,160 --> 02:07:53,160
say for example the off-site laptop bag in a

1711
02:07:53,160 --> 02:07:57,160
small size cool neat view cart and there it is the checkout

1712
02:07:57,160 --> 02:08:01,160
message interface that will go to producer Dan who will

1713
02:08:01,160 --> 02:08:05,160
put it up on stream or he will respond to

1714
02:08:05,160 --> 02:08:09,160
it or he will curate it for me and

1715
02:08:09,160 --> 02:08:13,160
Luke to respond to Dan should we show them a couple checkout messages

1716
02:08:13,160 --> 02:08:17,160
and show them how it works yeah I've got a couple here let's have a look

1717
02:08:17,160 --> 02:08:21,160
hey DLL question for Linus do you guys have a product list from

1718
02:08:21,160 --> 02:08:25,160
oldest to newest would be useful for my project

1719
02:08:25,160 --> 02:08:29,160
we are launching a new version of the site I believe

1720
02:08:29,160 --> 02:08:33,160
in Q2 I think that's the current roadmap and then

1721
02:08:33,160 --> 02:08:37,160
once that's done we're going to be working on a product archive

1722
02:08:37,160 --> 02:08:41,160
and once that's done we're going to be working on a way to allow

1723
02:08:41,160 --> 02:08:45,160
people to kind of vote maybe once a quarter or a couple times a year

1724
02:08:45,160 --> 02:08:49,160
on the top products they'd like to see us bring back

1725
02:08:49,160 --> 02:08:53,160
because I know it's been an ongoing problem with LTT Store that we're always

1726
02:08:53,160 --> 02:08:57,160
moving forward never

1727
02:08:57,160 --> 02:09:01,160
restocking things that are gone and I think that's something that would

1728
02:09:01,160 --> 02:09:05,160
be a way for us to kind of meet in the middle because we can't carry every product that we

1729
02:09:05,160 --> 02:09:09,160
ever made that's not really realistic but we can bring back some

1730
02:09:09,160 --> 02:09:13,160
if there's enough demand for them Luke Nukem

1731
02:09:13,160 --> 02:09:17,160
that's a the shirt

1732
02:09:17,160 --> 02:09:21,160
that one's not coming back you should have gotten one when you had

1733
02:09:21,160 --> 02:09:25,160
the chance I wear mine actually quite regularly on weekends

1734
02:09:25,160 --> 02:09:29,160
so like not every product will be available to vote on then

1735
02:09:29,160 --> 02:09:33,160
like your super special ones it would be there but that's never going to win

1736
02:09:33,160 --> 02:09:37,160
it's not going to get enough votes we did not

1737
02:09:37,160 --> 02:09:41,160
we saw the sales numbers we did not sell many of those

1738
02:09:41,160 --> 02:09:45,160
hey Luke, Linus and Dan Adelaide, Australia

1739
02:09:45,160 --> 02:09:49,160
what do you think of the new Pokemon fire red leaf green

1740
02:09:49,160 --> 02:09:53,160
release for Switch and Switch 2 news that dropped in the last 24

1741
02:09:53,160 --> 02:09:57,160
errs did they seriously not put a space

1742
02:09:57,160 --> 02:10:01,160
between two different words fred

1743
02:10:01,160 --> 02:10:03,160
so this is the Colton edition

1744
02:10:05,160 --> 02:10:09,160
that's just a good joke and leaf green

1745
02:10:09,160 --> 02:10:13,160
yeah what are they? are they games?

1746
02:10:13,160 --> 02:10:17,160
are they the same game again? capture wild Pokemon and recapture

1747
02:10:17,160 --> 02:10:21,160
the nostalgic feel of the Game Boy Advance system when the Pokemon fire red

1748
02:10:21,160 --> 02:10:25,160
version and leaf green version games return for the first time in over 20 years

1749
02:10:25,160 --> 02:10:29,160
on the Nintendo Switch also playable on Switch 2 just in time for Pokemon day

1750
02:10:31,160 --> 02:10:35,160
there's a lot to unpack here in these Nintendo Switch versions

1751
02:10:35,160 --> 02:10:39,160
of the 2004 remakes of the first

1752
02:10:39,160 --> 02:10:43,160
Pokemon games, red and Pokemon green so this is

1753
02:10:43,160 --> 02:10:47,160
sorry, these are halfway to Skyrim right now

1754
02:10:47,160 --> 02:10:51,160
for your toaster these are remakes of

1755
02:10:51,160 --> 02:10:55,160
remakes it's a $20 GBA game and every language

1756
02:10:55,160 --> 02:10:57,160
is a unique listing on the eShop

1757
02:11:01,160 --> 02:11:05,160
you really do have to catch them all emulators win again I guess

1758
02:11:05,160 --> 02:11:09,160
there's like no way this is not one of the most easily emulated games ever

1759
02:11:15,160 --> 02:11:19,160
I don't know man I've never done it but I have to imagine it's like

1760
02:11:19,160 --> 02:11:23,160
brain dead easy Pokemon blue master race that's all I have to say about that

1761
02:11:23,160 --> 02:11:27,160
never cared about red or green sorry

1762
02:11:27,160 --> 02:11:31,160
there's another Pokemon comment here somewhere green wasn't like

1763
02:11:31,160 --> 02:11:35,160
you're talking about the previous era oh I'm talking about like original

1764
02:11:35,160 --> 02:11:39,160
game boy yeah yeah yeah yeah wasn't wasn't green like not a

1765
02:11:39,160 --> 02:11:43,160
North American thing I thought it was like Japan only or something maybe all I know

1766
02:11:43,160 --> 02:11:47,160
is Pokemon weird rumor is the only Pokemon game I ever played

1767
02:11:47,160 --> 02:11:51,160
and from every conversation that I've had with a Pokemon fan about it those were

1768
02:11:51,160 --> 02:11:55,160
a choice they were like yep you had the experience yep good job

1769
02:11:55,160 --> 02:11:59,160
and I played it on a Game Boy color emulator so I like

1770
02:11:59,160 --> 02:12:03,160
got to see it in color I think or was it

1771
02:12:03,160 --> 02:12:07,160
I don't know it doesn't really matter you don't even need my nostalgia glasses say it was in color

1772
02:12:09,160 --> 02:12:13,160
sure it might not have been you're right green was Japan only yeah okay

1773
02:12:13,160 --> 02:12:17,160
cool so for us it was it was just it was just red and blue

1774
02:12:17,160 --> 02:12:21,160
and then yellow came out and that was like weird and

1775
02:12:21,160 --> 02:12:25,160
yeah growling says real chads played yellow but like yellow

1776
02:12:25,160 --> 02:12:29,160
wasn't out yet so I was just to OG for yellow so that's why I said it was

1777
02:12:29,160 --> 02:12:33,160
weird red and blue were first whatever whatever

1778
02:12:33,160 --> 02:12:37,160
I still have my cartridge of blue nice solid blue homies yeah

1779
02:12:37,160 --> 02:12:41,160
I got to follow a Pokemon question for you both

1780
02:12:41,160 --> 02:12:45,160
seriously I think yeah I mean might as well have two everybody seems to

1781
02:12:45,160 --> 02:12:49,160
be care about Pokemon today yeah what's the one do you like Pokemon I think you like Pokemon yeah

1782
02:12:49,160 --> 02:12:53,160
okay hi Wancho question for Luke what is your favorite

1783
02:12:53,160 --> 02:12:57,160
Pokemon are you looking forward to the any potential announcements for the series 30th

1784
02:12:57,160 --> 02:13:01,160
anniversary no I'm not looking forward to

1785
02:13:01,160 --> 02:13:05,160
any I know that might suck but like

1786
02:13:05,160 --> 02:13:09,160
I don't tend to like the mainline games anymore

1787
02:13:09,160 --> 02:13:13,160
I actually don't even like the game that I play

1788
02:13:13,160 --> 02:13:17,160
I think Pokemon go is just like objectively a pretty bad game

1789
02:13:17,160 --> 02:13:21,160
other than the fact that it tends to usually

1790
02:13:21,160 --> 02:13:25,160
incentivize going outside and there's so few things

1791
02:13:25,160 --> 02:13:29,160
that do that on your phone and I think that is super super cool

1792
02:13:29,160 --> 02:13:33,160
gamifying going outside is fantastic while you finish this up I got to go use water gun

1793
02:13:33,160 --> 02:13:37,160
sounds good but the

1794
02:13:37,160 --> 02:13:41,160
concepts around how

1795
02:13:41,160 --> 02:13:45,160
the PVP works I think are terrible I think the rating system

1796
02:13:45,160 --> 02:13:49,160
is in a lot of ways really bad I think the max battle system

1797
02:13:49,160 --> 02:13:53,160
is terrible I think how they deal with catching especially

1798
02:13:53,160 --> 02:13:57,160
things that you technically paid money for in some way is horrible

1799
02:13:57,160 --> 02:14:01,160
I think their event management is just trash

1800
02:14:01,160 --> 02:14:05,160
like in so many ways it's a terrible terrible game

1801
02:14:05,160 --> 02:14:09,160
that sucks it's one of the reasons why when people are like oh you have to have

1802
02:14:09,160 --> 02:14:13,160
remote rating because of like people who are

1803
02:14:13,160 --> 02:14:17,160
immobilized it's like okay I would highly recommend

1804
02:14:17,160 --> 02:14:21,160
playing anything else because it's a terrible game I guess I'm

1805
02:14:21,160 --> 02:14:25,160
supposed to look over here sorry if you're stuck at home

1806
02:14:25,160 --> 02:14:29,160
there's like near infinite other things you could play that are just

1807
02:14:29,160 --> 02:14:33,160
better like ah you don't need to spend

1808
02:14:33,160 --> 02:14:37,160
money an extra amount of money to be able to play from your couch

1809
02:14:37,160 --> 02:14:41,160
to be able to play a bad game from your couch

1810
02:14:41,160 --> 02:14:45,160
the only good thing about pokemon go is that it gets you outside

1811
02:14:45,160 --> 02:14:49,160
and it gets you moving so if you can't do one or either of those things

1812
02:14:49,160 --> 02:14:53,160
just play a better game I would highly recommend

1813
02:14:53,160 --> 02:14:57,160
playing just a definitely better game

1814
02:14:57,160 --> 02:15:01,160
that's my main stance there the mainline pokemon games I bought

1815
02:15:01,160 --> 02:15:05,160
whatever it's called scarlet or something oh man

1816
02:15:05,160 --> 02:15:09,160
because I bought it I've been kind of like forced

1817
02:15:09,160 --> 02:15:13,160
myself to play when I play on my switch it's starting

1818
02:15:13,160 --> 02:15:17,160
to get better the beginning was really really slow and

1819
02:15:17,160 --> 02:15:21,160
it's starting to get a little bit better but still it's like

1820
02:15:21,160 --> 02:15:25,160
I don't know it it is different it's an open world game

1821
02:15:25,160 --> 02:15:29,160
in a more real way than the original pokemon was

1822
02:15:33,160 --> 02:15:37,160
I don't think they're that great hot take I love

1823
02:15:37,160 --> 02:15:39,160
zea I haven't played those ones

1824
02:15:41,160 --> 02:15:45,160
I haven't played a ton of them I don't have really great takes on it but anyways in terms of

1825
02:15:45,160 --> 02:15:49,160
announcements I'm not particularly excited I think people in the

1826
02:15:51,160 --> 02:15:55,160
indie scene that are making semi ripoff things

1827
02:15:55,160 --> 02:15:59,160
are doing a much better job with the pokemon IP than pokemon is

1828
02:15:59,160 --> 02:16:03,160
I think that game poke mmo or whatever that was a long time ago

1829
02:16:03,160 --> 02:16:07,160
where you could play in your browser and it was like an mmo of

1830
02:16:07,160 --> 02:16:11,160
fire red or something and you could see all these trainers around

1831
02:16:11,160 --> 02:16:15,160
on the map I'm wondering if full plane chat is going to

1832
02:16:15,160 --> 02:16:19,160
correct me on the name but there was a pixel art game of pokemon

1833
02:16:19,160 --> 02:16:23,160
that was an mmo that I believe was in your browser

1834
02:16:25,160 --> 02:16:29,160
and it was that was like super cool and really fun and really hype and then pokemon killed it

1835
02:16:29,160 --> 02:16:33,160
pow world was like a really interesting take on pokemon that was actually

1836
02:16:33,160 --> 02:16:37,160
really fun multiplayer in the same world

1837
02:16:37,160 --> 02:16:39,160
wow how has that not really been a thing

1838
02:16:41,160 --> 02:16:45,160
having your pokemon be able to like work with you to build things like super cool

1839
02:16:47,160 --> 02:16:51,160
I think an actually official one for pokemon would have been way better

1840
02:16:51,160 --> 02:16:55,160
and not having the guns and stuff I think have actually would have legitimately been

1841
02:16:55,160 --> 02:16:59,160
better I think pow world needed to do stuff like that in order to

1842
02:16:59,160 --> 02:17:03,160
not infringe too much so hooray that was definitely the right choice

1843
02:17:03,160 --> 02:17:07,160
but I would prefer to just play a first party one that was actually well made but none of them exist

1844
02:17:09,160 --> 02:17:13,160
but yeah people are saying poke mmo yeah apparently that

1845
02:17:13,160 --> 02:17:15,160
let me see if I can find it poke mmo

1846
02:17:17,160 --> 02:17:21,160
if there's still more oh they have a website still

1847
02:17:21,160 --> 02:17:25,160
what the heck are they still alive wild

1848
02:17:25,160 --> 02:17:29,160
I thought they got like banned off of the everything

1849
02:17:33,160 --> 02:17:37,160
but yeah like these these experiences made by others

1850
02:17:37,160 --> 02:17:39,160
have been

1851
02:17:41,160 --> 02:17:45,160
better so no I'm not particularly interested about announcements

1852
02:17:45,160 --> 02:17:49,160
favorite pokemon Kadabra my reason for that was

1853
02:17:49,160 --> 02:17:53,160
I never traded back in the day when I had my my pokemon blue

1854
02:17:55,160 --> 02:17:59,160
I think I like we didn't have a link cable or something I don't remember

1855
02:17:59,160 --> 02:18:03,160
but never really traded and I

1856
02:18:03,160 --> 02:18:07,160
remember above misty's gym you cross the bridge

1857
02:18:07,160 --> 02:18:11,160
you go to the left and then you come back down there's this patch of grass

1858
02:18:11,160 --> 02:18:15,160
and if you go up and up and up and up and up and down up and down up and down up and down

1859
02:18:15,160 --> 02:18:19,160
my brother told me you could catch an Abra in there so I would go do that and I would finally catch an Abra

1860
02:18:19,160 --> 02:18:23,160
and then if you do the the old brutal exp trip

1861
02:18:23,160 --> 02:18:27,160
where you have to send the Abra out first and then swap out to something that can tank it

1862
02:18:27,160 --> 02:18:31,160
and you eventually get a Kadabra that Kadabra will just hard carry you for like the entire game

1863
02:18:31,160 --> 02:18:35,160
Kadabra is sick in those old games

1864
02:18:35,160 --> 02:18:39,160
I found a lot of the pokemon that you either needed to trade to evolve

1865
02:18:39,160 --> 02:18:43,160
or that you had to get in weird ways were some of my favorite ones

1866
02:18:43,160 --> 02:18:47,160
like Gyarados giving that magic harp from the guy who thinks he's scamming you

1867
02:18:47,160 --> 02:18:51,160
and then you turn into a magic harp, fantastic pokemon Kadabra

1868
02:18:51,160 --> 02:18:53,160
Machoke

1869
02:18:55,160 --> 02:18:59,160
Graveler Why do you keep going for like mid tier evolutions of these?

1870
02:18:59,160 --> 02:19:03,160
I was just explaining cause I think we didn't have a link cable or something

1871
02:19:03,160 --> 02:19:07,160
so we couldn't trade to those ones required a trade to evolve

1872
02:19:07,160 --> 02:19:11,160
it was the only way to do it You could get him a champ

1873
02:19:11,160 --> 02:19:15,160
No I don't think so

1874
02:19:15,160 --> 02:19:19,160
I'm pretty sure I thought you had to trade it

1875
02:19:19,160 --> 02:19:23,160
By the way weren't you going to ask me if it was very effective? Was it very effective?

1876
02:19:23,160 --> 02:19:25,160
Super effective even

1877
02:19:27,160 --> 02:19:31,160
Am I wrong that they were trade only? Trade only

1878
02:19:31,160 --> 02:19:35,160
Really? I must just remember fighting them or something

1879
02:19:35,160 --> 02:19:39,160
In fairness to me this was like 25 years ago You would have fought them

1880
02:19:39,160 --> 02:19:43,160
I think there's a gym leader that has them or something But yeah

1881
02:19:43,160 --> 02:19:47,160
Machoke you needed to trade in order to get him a champ

1882
02:19:47,160 --> 02:19:51,160
but then it would just give him a champ to the other person you could trade it back but like I don't know

1883
02:19:51,160 --> 02:19:55,160
Kadabra in order to get Alecazam you had to trade

1884
02:19:55,160 --> 02:19:59,160
in order to get Golem Those are the

1885
02:19:59,160 --> 02:20:03,160
three that I really remember Yeah

1886
02:20:03,160 --> 02:20:07,160
The other really cool one Oh yeah Gengar

1887
02:20:07,160 --> 02:20:11,160
That's why Haunter is my favorite one out of that chain Is because

1888
02:20:11,160 --> 02:20:15,160
to get Gengar you had to trade So I really liked Haunter

1889
02:20:15,160 --> 02:20:19,160
That's why my one laptop was called Haunter and not Gengar Because Haunter is my favorite one because I was never able to trade up

1890
02:20:19,160 --> 02:20:23,160
And Haunter is also incredibly powerful in those games

1891
02:20:23,160 --> 02:20:27,160
Because Ghost is just like immune to a ton of attacks Which is crazy

1892
02:20:27,160 --> 02:20:31,160
It wasn't a particularly balanced game

1893
02:20:31,160 --> 02:20:35,160
No not at all It was more about selling toys

1894
02:20:35,160 --> 02:20:39,160
Yeah Yeah

1895
02:20:39,160 --> 02:20:43,160
Yeah Kadabra has always been my favorite one He's my hard carry

1896
02:20:43,160 --> 02:20:47,160
Yeah Sammy's favorite Pokemon is Gengar Which is pretty sick

1897
02:20:47,160 --> 02:20:51,160
It's so common for people to be like Charizard or whatever

1898
02:20:51,160 --> 02:20:55,160
Pikachu Yeah Pikachu, Eevee, whatever

1899
02:20:55,160 --> 02:20:59,160
Alright What's your favorite Pokemon?

1900
02:20:59,160 --> 02:21:03,160
When did the Eevee obsession show up? Because

1901
02:21:03,160 --> 02:21:07,160
Is it? Does Eevee feature really prominently in

1902
02:21:07,160 --> 02:21:11,160
modern shows or something? I don't know but I know they pushed it a lot more

1903
02:21:11,160 --> 02:21:15,160
There's a ton more Eevee evolutions now Oh dude

1904
02:21:15,160 --> 02:21:19,160
I got this Pokemon find and seek

1905
02:21:19,160 --> 02:21:23,160
book for my kids I don't know some relative gave it to us

1906
02:21:23,160 --> 02:21:27,160
It was all like Eevee Who cares about Eevee? I thought it's all

1907
02:21:27,160 --> 02:21:31,160
Pikachu and like Charmander and Charizard and whatnot

1908
02:21:31,160 --> 02:21:35,160
There's also like communities that form behind different Eevees

1909
02:21:35,160 --> 02:21:39,160
Tumblr says Crystal Well Tumblr I think was largely because Sylveon

1910
02:21:39,160 --> 02:21:43,160
is a lot of people in the trans community because Sylveon has the trans colors

1911
02:21:43,160 --> 02:21:47,160
have bannered behind Sylveon But then similarly

1912
02:21:47,160 --> 02:21:51,160
there's like other Pokemon For

1913
02:21:51,160 --> 02:21:55,160
for reasons people like Vaporeon

1914
02:21:55,160 --> 02:21:59,160
There's other stuff going on

1915
02:21:59,160 --> 02:22:03,160
Yeah, but Eevee got more popular like way later on

1916
02:22:03,160 --> 02:22:07,160
I would need to be reminded original sprites let's go

1917
02:22:07,160 --> 02:22:11,160
I need to be reminded of all the original Pokemon before I could pick a favorite

1918
02:22:11,160 --> 02:22:15,160
I also really like Pidgeotto, Pidgeot

1919
02:22:15,160 --> 02:22:19,160
I was about to say I Loki loved my Pidgeot

1920
02:22:19,160 --> 02:22:23,160
They're actually awesome Like late game Pidgeot is actually pretty

1921
02:22:23,160 --> 02:22:27,160
pretty solid I actually kind of loved my

1922
02:22:27,160 --> 02:22:31,160
Raticate I like that. I don't like Raticate

1923
02:22:31,160 --> 02:22:35,160
but I like that you like Raticate. I think that's cool Um

1924
02:22:35,160 --> 02:22:39,160
The Niddo's are pretty sweet Kadabra

1925
02:22:39,160 --> 02:22:43,160
Let's go I was a huge fan of Geodude

1926
02:22:43,160 --> 02:22:47,160
Did not love this Catching early Geodudes? Yeah, me neither

1927
02:22:47,160 --> 02:22:51,160
Didn't care about that Geodude is

1928
02:22:51,160 --> 02:22:55,160
sick when you first recruit him Yeah, exactly. Like he just will one hit

1929
02:22:55,160 --> 02:22:59,160
basically anything just hits so hard. It will take so little

1930
02:22:59,160 --> 02:23:03,160
damage from so many things Okay, I love horses

1931
02:23:03,160 --> 02:23:07,160
so therefore I immediately love Punita, but I just didn't really need it

1932
02:23:07,160 --> 02:23:11,160
because by the time you get this I think you have like a

1933
02:23:11,160 --> 02:23:15,160
pretty solid. Is that even in blue? I thought I thought we had

1934
02:23:15,160 --> 02:23:19,160
Growlith. Maybe not. I don't remember which one. Don't remember which one.

1935
02:23:19,160 --> 02:23:23,160
There's some Pokemon that aren't you have to trade for them. I think you can

1936
02:23:23,160 --> 02:23:27,160
maybe you might fight a trainer or something that has You definitely do. There's the gamblers that

1937
02:23:27,160 --> 02:23:31,160
have them. There's the old guys. They like their pony dis. Um

1938
02:23:31,160 --> 02:23:35,160
That's why Man, there's more

1939
02:23:35,160 --> 02:23:39,160
than I remember there being. There's a Rihorn Enchoyer in chat. That's based

1940
02:23:39,160 --> 02:23:43,160
That's a based favorite Pokemon.

1941
02:23:45,160 --> 02:23:49,160
These fighting guys are pretty cool, but I never really bothered with them

1942
02:23:55,160 --> 02:23:59,160
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

1943
02:23:59,160 --> 02:24:03,160
I just really liked the design for this one. I don't know if I don't think I ever had one.

1944
02:24:03,160 --> 02:24:05,160
They're cool.

1945
02:24:07,160 --> 02:24:11,160
Man, I wish they did more with Ditto over the years and you'd have to be like

1946
02:24:11,160 --> 02:24:15,160
you'd have to have a heart of stone to not love it. Yeah, very

1947
02:24:15,160 --> 02:24:19,160
true. Yeah, you know what if I had to

1948
02:24:19,160 --> 02:24:23,160
I really dislike a lot of the modern systems. Um

1949
02:24:23,160 --> 02:24:27,160
I've often talked about how a lot of the

1950
02:24:27,160 --> 02:24:31,160
modern Pokemon systems just make it feel like Digimon to me.

1951
02:24:31,160 --> 02:24:35,160
I don't even know what Digimon is. Mega Mode EX

1952
02:24:35,160 --> 02:24:39,160
I don't like it. Um, but

1953
02:24:41,160 --> 02:24:45,160
but I do think Gigantamax Norlax is awesome.

1954
02:24:45,160 --> 02:24:49,160
The fact that he just he's just still sleeping on the road and just stuff grew

1955
02:24:49,160 --> 02:24:53,160
on him. Hilarious.

1956
02:24:55,160 --> 02:24:59,160
But then they do stuff that's like you might actually like this.

1957
02:24:59,160 --> 02:25:03,160
Gigantamax Meowth is just he's just like

1958
02:25:03,160 --> 02:25:05,160
buildings tall.

1959
02:25:09,160 --> 02:25:13,160
It's all very power rangersy to me. I think that was probably

1960
02:25:13,160 --> 02:25:17,160
my first exposure to like

1961
02:25:17,160 --> 02:25:21,160
Japanese style fighting media

1962
02:25:21,160 --> 02:25:25,160
where the fight has

1963
02:25:25,160 --> 02:25:29,160
three stages every time you fight the putties

1964
02:25:29,160 --> 02:25:33,160
and then you fight the boss and then

1965
02:25:33,160 --> 02:25:37,160
you both level up and you fight again and all of the foreplay was

1966
02:25:37,160 --> 02:25:41,160
completely unnecessary. Yeah, that's totally yeah. Now there's Megas

1967
02:25:41,160 --> 02:25:45,160
and all this other junk it gets a little ridiculous

1968
02:25:45,160 --> 02:25:49,160
and like, okay, I know anytime anytime you make it compare like you look at

1969
02:25:49,160 --> 02:25:53,160
new Pokemon and you're like why is there keys

1970
02:25:53,160 --> 02:25:57,160
why is a set of keys a Pokemon and people go yeah well you can look at

1971
02:25:57,160 --> 02:26:01,160
Gen 1 and there's like some silly garbage

1972
02:26:01,160 --> 02:26:05,160
as well. Is there though? Poragon.

1973
02:26:05,160 --> 02:26:09,160
What's Poragon? He's he's

1974
02:26:09,160 --> 02:26:13,160
yeah. Sorry, what's it called? Poragon.

1975
02:26:13,160 --> 02:26:17,160
I don't know what you're talking about. I don't think that's Gen 1. Yeah, he is.

1976
02:26:17,160 --> 02:26:19,160
How do I spell it? P-O-R-Y-G-O-N

1977
02:26:21,160 --> 02:26:25,160
100% Gen 1. Oh this. What is this? This is my point. He's just like

1978
02:26:25,160 --> 02:26:29,160
he's a duck. He's just like some shapes. No, he's a duck.

1979
02:26:29,160 --> 02:26:33,160
He's a racist duck. What are some other silly Gen 1 Pokemon?

1980
02:26:37,160 --> 02:26:41,160
There aren't really that many. I mean I think my thing is like for the most part it was

1981
02:26:41,160 --> 02:26:45,160
like this is a mouse except it's electric. Hooray.

1982
02:26:45,160 --> 02:26:49,160
Yeah. I mean yeah Machoke is just like a jacked guy.

1983
02:26:49,160 --> 02:26:53,160
There's a jacked like kind of well okay. Mr.

1984
02:26:53,160 --> 02:26:57,160
It's just a creepy guy. Kind of a frog.

1985
02:26:57,160 --> 02:27:01,160
Yeah. And like the gas one is like so that we

1986
02:27:01,160 --> 02:27:05,160
could have like a gaseous thing obviously.

1987
02:27:05,160 --> 02:27:07,160
I have no problem with ghastly personally.

1988
02:27:09,160 --> 02:27:13,160
I thought it was kind of like random. Magnemite is just magnets.

1989
02:27:13,160 --> 02:27:17,160
What's the one that's like? Magneton is just a lot of magnets.

1990
02:27:17,160 --> 02:27:21,160
Yeah. But I think like I am very cool

1991
02:27:21,160 --> 02:27:25,160
with things like Onyx. It's a bunch of rocks in a row.

1992
02:27:25,160 --> 02:27:29,160
Neat. Geodude. It's a single rock. It has arms for some reason.

1993
02:27:29,160 --> 02:27:33,160
I don't care. Neat. I like stuff like that. I don't like

1994
02:27:33,160 --> 02:27:37,160
this is a space demon. Like I

1995
02:27:37,160 --> 02:27:41,160
don't want that. I'm just glad we're all passionate about it.

1996
02:27:41,160 --> 02:27:45,160
I'm glad people have things to be excited about. Like what is that?

1997
02:27:45,160 --> 02:27:49,160
Why is that a Pokemon? I think it's a

1998
02:27:49,160 --> 02:27:51,160
Lobster

1999
02:27:53,160 --> 02:27:55,160
Lobster, Eagle

2000
02:27:57,160 --> 02:28:01,160
Scorpion. Does that as a Gen 1 only

2001
02:28:01,160 --> 02:28:05,160
or does that feel like it belongs in Pokemon? No. Yeah, exactly.

2002
02:28:05,160 --> 02:28:09,160
That's my problem with some of the new stuff. And I will always be a Gen 1

2003
02:28:09,160 --> 02:28:13,160
only or because I'm sorry but I just cannot be arsed to collect them

2004
02:28:13,160 --> 02:28:17,160
all more than 151 things. So many more.

2005
02:28:17,160 --> 02:28:21,160
How many Pokemon are there total? They just don't exist to me. There's 151 Pokemon.

2006
02:28:21,160 --> 02:28:25,160
You're welcome. So for the delusional people

2007
02:28:25,160 --> 02:28:29,160
that think there's more than 151 there's apparently 1,025.

2008
02:28:29,160 --> 02:28:33,160
That's crazy. It makes no sense. That is crazy. There's 121.

2009
02:28:33,160 --> 02:28:37,160
151. No, you know what? Forget it.

2010
02:28:37,160 --> 02:28:41,160
There's 121. Great shopping. 30 of them off. Anything I had to trade for doesn't count.

2011
02:28:41,160 --> 02:28:43,160
Oh, man.

2012
02:28:47,160 --> 02:28:51,160
Okay. How many people did we just bother? 152. Missignal. I like that.

2013
02:28:53,160 --> 02:28:57,160
I like that. No, the glitch doesn't count. I like that. Glitch, please.

2014
02:28:57,160 --> 02:28:59,160
My delusion is that there's 152.

2015
02:29:01,160 --> 02:29:05,160
Alrighty then. What's next?

2016
02:29:05,160 --> 02:29:09,160
First. We had a wedding. We fought about Pokemon.

2017
02:29:09,160 --> 02:29:13,160
First, Apple adopts RCS. Now it tests

2018
02:29:13,160 --> 02:29:17,160
end-to-end encryption. In the latest iOS 26.4 beta

2019
02:29:17,160 --> 02:29:21,160
build, Apple explains that it is now rolling out testing end-to-end encryption

2020
02:29:21,160 --> 02:29:25,160
in RCS messaging on iPhone. Currently not shipping on certain devices and carriers

2021
02:29:25,160 --> 02:29:29,160
but the big news about this was that it is only testing

2022
02:29:29,160 --> 02:29:33,160
the RCS encryption between iPhones. Not between androids.

2023
02:29:33,160 --> 02:29:37,160
They're not saying that they will never support it on Android but

2024
02:29:37,160 --> 02:29:41,160
while other people are super negative about this saying, well, isn't the point

2025
02:29:41,160 --> 02:29:45,160
of RCS end-to-end encryption so that you can have encryption when you're texting

2026
02:29:45,160 --> 02:29:49,160
with an Android acquaintance. I personally am choosing to believe

2027
02:29:49,160 --> 02:29:53,160
that this will this is just the start

2028
02:29:53,160 --> 02:29:57,160
and they will roll into an encryption to Android

2029
02:29:57,160 --> 02:30:01,160
friends at some point and so that's why I cared to talk about it.

2030
02:30:03,160 --> 02:30:07,160
I'm in good faith believing that Apple is going to continue to do

2031
02:30:07,160 --> 02:30:11,160
the right thing and continue to move RCS forward.

2032
02:30:11,160 --> 02:30:15,160
Speaking of good things that I'm super excited about

2033
02:30:15,160 --> 02:30:19,160
Android finally

2034
02:30:19,160 --> 02:30:23,160
after all these years finally f***ing did it.

2035
02:30:27,160 --> 02:30:31,160
Whoa, really? Finally. Android, not like Samsung or something?

2036
02:30:31,160 --> 02:30:35,160
Apparently. I don't care about running a Pixel

2037
02:30:35,160 --> 02:30:39,160
but what I do care about is I want a Sony.

2038
02:30:39,160 --> 02:30:41,160
I want an Xperia.

2039
02:30:45,160 --> 02:30:49,160
I expect it won't have it yet. It's probably going to take a little bit

2040
02:30:49,160 --> 02:30:53,160
but when that propagates I am like

2041
02:30:53,160 --> 02:30:57,160
I don't care about running a Pixel but what I do care about

2042
02:30:57,160 --> 02:31:01,160
is I want a Sony. I want an Xperia.

2043
02:31:03,160 --> 02:31:07,160
First in line. I'm going to import an Xperia from Japan

2044
02:31:07,160 --> 02:31:09,160
and I'm so ready. I'm so excited.

2045
02:31:11,160 --> 02:31:15,160
They're so good. Yes, I know Samsung had this for so many years

2046
02:31:15,160 --> 02:31:19,160
but what if I wanted something other than Samsung?

2047
02:31:19,160 --> 02:31:23,160
OnePlus also supports it. I believe nothing supports it. There are vendors that support it

2048
02:31:23,160 --> 02:31:27,160
but Google themselves hasn't supported it and

2049
02:31:27,160 --> 02:31:31,160
Samsung, excuse me, Samsung and Sony to my knowledge

2050
02:31:31,160 --> 02:31:35,160
just kind of sticks as close to stock Android

2051
02:31:35,160 --> 02:31:39,160
as possible and has not supported it

2052
02:31:39,160 --> 02:31:43,160
so I am super, super excited. I'm on 16 right now and it's not here

2053
02:31:43,160 --> 02:31:47,160
so if it's 17 then I'll be getting it soon and I'll let you know

2054
02:31:47,160 --> 02:31:51,160
and then you can buy one too. Yeah, there was commenters on the reddit

2055
02:31:51,160 --> 02:31:55,160
that were saying it specifically Android 17 and I still haven't

2056
02:31:55,160 --> 02:31:59,160
wiped my old one for you to play with Luke. That's okay.

2057
02:31:59,160 --> 02:32:03,160
Yovo Azido asks, remind me, which side is the right side-Linus?

2058
02:32:03,160 --> 02:32:07,160
You can always tell because

2059
02:32:07,160 --> 02:32:11,160
the left hand makes an L so this is the right

2060
02:32:11,160 --> 02:32:15,160
but if you meant correct side the answer is that there is no correct side

2061
02:32:15,160 --> 02:32:19,160
which is why we need a choice depending on whether you're left or right-handed

2062
02:32:19,160 --> 02:32:23,160
depending on whether you prefer the task switching button

2063
02:32:23,160 --> 02:32:27,160
being closer when you're holding it in your right hand or being closer when you're holding it in your left hand

2064
02:32:27,160 --> 02:32:31,160
that is completely personal preference and there should never have been any reason

2065
02:32:31,160 --> 02:32:35,160
that you should have had to choose. This is good.

2066
02:32:35,160 --> 02:32:39,160
This is a win for user choice.

2067
02:32:39,160 --> 02:32:43,160
All right. What else we got?

2068
02:32:43,160 --> 02:32:45,160
Let's see here.

2069
02:32:49,160 --> 02:32:53,160
What is this? You want more good news? Why Charge when you can use Why Charge?

2070
02:32:53,160 --> 02:32:57,160
Yeah. A company that has been pioneering wireless charging

2071
02:32:57,160 --> 02:33:01,160
has announced their second batch for their wireless power kit.

2072
02:33:03,160 --> 02:33:07,160
So I did a ShortCircuit on this thing a little while ago

2073
02:33:07,160 --> 02:33:11,160
and the difference and the reason I wanted to highlight it again

2074
02:33:11,160 --> 02:33:15,160
is that it's way cheaper now. It was like a commercial

2075
02:33:15,160 --> 02:33:19,160
only solution not that long ago and now they have support

2076
02:33:19,160 --> 02:33:23,160
for the Schlage encode which is, from my understanding

2077
02:33:23,160 --> 02:33:27,160
a much more popular smart lock. So you just

2078
02:33:27,160 --> 02:33:31,160
take out the battery cover, put on the receiver module boom!

2079
02:33:31,160 --> 02:33:35,160
You never, ever charge your smart lock again.

2080
02:33:35,160 --> 02:33:39,160
You don't put a battery in, you don't have it just randomly die

2081
02:33:39,160 --> 02:33:43,160
at an inopportune time and you have to use a key it just has power forever.

2082
02:33:43,160 --> 02:33:47,160
I've been using my commercial one with the Alfred smart lock at my house

2083
02:33:47,160 --> 02:33:51,160
it just is always charged and will always be charged forever.

2084
02:33:51,160 --> 02:33:55,160
It's super cool. We first covered these guys at Computex

2085
02:33:55,160 --> 02:33:59,160
like 10 years ago and it took them five ever

2086
02:33:59,160 --> 02:34:03,160
to whether it was funding or partnerships or a development

2087
02:34:03,160 --> 02:34:07,160
to get this technology rolling and it's finally

2088
02:34:07,160 --> 02:34:11,160
happening. So they just seem like cool people who are

2089
02:34:11,160 --> 02:34:15,160
finally catching a break and I just wanted to highlight that. Good stuff.

2090
02:34:15,160 --> 02:34:17,160
Oh! This one's less fun.

2091
02:34:19,160 --> 02:34:23,160
The registry from Save the Life

2092
02:34:23,160 --> 02:34:27,160
a pet microchip company became inaccessible

2093
02:34:27,160 --> 02:34:31,160
when the company went out of business in January 2024. For those

2094
02:34:31,160 --> 02:34:35,160
unfamiliar, pet microchips are simple RFID chips that produce

2095
02:34:35,160 --> 02:34:39,160
a unique string of numbers when scanned. Databases like Save the Life

2096
02:34:39,160 --> 02:34:43,160
link that identifier to pet information that vets can access.

2097
02:34:43,160 --> 02:34:47,160
There was apparently very little notice of the shutdown

2098
02:34:47,160 --> 02:34:51,160
leaving many pets unknowingly unidentifiable to vets

2099
02:34:51,160 --> 02:34:55,160
and shelters. Since Inadi Animal Care says it's found

2100
02:34:55,160 --> 02:34:59,160
65 dogs with useless chips only about half of their owners

2101
02:34:59,160 --> 02:35:03,160
were found. Pets registered to Save the Life should re-register their

2102
02:35:03,160 --> 02:35:07,160
chips number with another microchip company which is usually free. This whole

2103
02:35:07,160 --> 02:35:11,160
thing raised a whole bunch of questions for me. Namely, what was

2104
02:35:11,160 --> 02:35:15,160
the f***ing point of putting a microchip in my pets?

2105
02:35:15,160 --> 02:35:19,160
I've microchipped every one of my pets that I've ever had

2106
02:35:19,160 --> 02:35:23,160
thinking that the idea was that they scanned it

2107
02:35:23,160 --> 02:35:27,160
and the information was just there, readable and plain text

2108
02:35:27,160 --> 02:35:31,160
which I don't actually mind if somebody has my cat because I want it back.

2109
02:35:31,160 --> 02:35:35,160
I thought it was too. So this was insane

2110
02:35:35,160 --> 02:35:39,160
to me. I kind of understand like the privacy

2111
02:35:39,160 --> 02:35:43,160
potentially of like an animal is roadkill and you go and you scan the microchip

2112
02:35:43,160 --> 02:35:47,160
and what you get. You get a girl's phone number that way. Like come on, man.

2113
02:35:47,160 --> 02:35:51,160
Like I, if it's an alternative to a collar

2114
02:35:51,160 --> 02:35:55,160
or a tattoo probably

2115
02:35:55,160 --> 02:35:59,160
plain text would have been fine what was the point of this?

2116
02:35:59,160 --> 02:36:03,160
Yikes. So frustrating.

2117
02:36:03,160 --> 02:36:07,160
I hate that on like multiple levels. Like I had

2118
02:36:07,160 --> 02:36:11,160
hope, you know that when I, when

2119
02:36:11,160 --> 02:36:15,160
the Bengal cats escaped that someone would find them

2120
02:36:15,160 --> 02:36:19,160
and they would eventually even if someone stole them, they would eventually make

2121
02:36:19,160 --> 02:36:23,160
their way to a vet, eventually get scanned and I would eventually be contacted

2122
02:36:23,160 --> 02:36:27,160
but this whole ecosystem is just more stupid and fragmented

2123
02:36:27,160 --> 02:36:31,160
than I could have realized. I guess I could have looked it up

2124
02:36:31,160 --> 02:36:35,160
I could have found this out but I mean

2125
02:36:35,160 --> 02:36:39,160
nowadays we tattoo and microchip our animals and we don't

2126
02:36:39,160 --> 02:36:43,160
let them outside under any circumstances so it hasn't been as much of a problem.

2127
02:36:43,160 --> 02:36:47,160
The Bengals were also just escape artists they just really wanted to get out.

2128
02:36:47,160 --> 02:36:51,160
Rumble was able to jump up and hang off of the door handle to open the door.

2129
02:36:51,160 --> 02:36:55,160
Just like, really? And when you we had little kids and we had people like coming in

2130
02:36:55,160 --> 02:36:59,160
and out and then yeah, anyway that's, that's history at this

2131
02:36:59,160 --> 02:37:03,160
point and it's a lot easier now all of our cats

2132
02:37:03,160 --> 02:37:07,160
that we have right now started their lives outdoors

2133
02:37:07,160 --> 02:37:11,160
and they are like fucking stoked to be inside

2134
02:37:11,160 --> 02:37:15,160
none of them try to get out we accidentally, one of the kids left the door open

2135
02:37:15,160 --> 02:37:19,160
for half an hour, like a few weekends ago and

2136
02:37:19,160 --> 02:37:23,160
we were like, ah, panic, cat check everyone find all the cats

2137
02:37:23,160 --> 02:37:27,160
no one went anywhere near it

2138
02:37:27,160 --> 02:37:31,160
especially the boys, brownie and noodle are

2139
02:37:31,160 --> 02:37:35,160
like, they lived outside until

2140
02:37:35,160 --> 02:37:39,160
they were old enough that I was

2141
02:37:39,160 --> 02:37:41,160
worried that they would be difficult to socialize

2142
02:37:43,160 --> 02:37:47,160
Didn't the vet even have a concern about that? I thought there was something

2143
02:37:47,160 --> 02:37:51,160
No, our vet was pretty chill about it No, that was to do with

2144
02:37:51,160 --> 02:37:55,160
whether they had feline HIV and we had to

2145
02:37:55,160 --> 02:37:59,160
Yeah, we had to isolate them from the other cats for quite a while

2146
02:37:59,160 --> 02:38:03,160
before we could be sure that they didn't have a dormant infection that could get the other

2147
02:38:03,160 --> 02:38:07,160
cats or whatever but yeah, they were

2148
02:38:07,160 --> 02:38:11,160
outdoor cats for quite a while and we caught them with a live trap

2149
02:38:11,160 --> 02:38:15,160
and brought them in and tried to socialize them

2150
02:38:15,160 --> 02:38:19,160
I shouldn't say tried with brownie especially, very much socialized

2151
02:38:19,160 --> 02:38:23,160
noodle is still a little bit skitterish he was a wild

2152
02:38:23,160 --> 02:38:27,160
thing at some point and those guys especially

2153
02:38:27,160 --> 02:38:31,160
are just like nope, they hunted

2154
02:38:31,160 --> 02:38:35,160
they hunted for their food when they were just little boys and they are not

2155
02:38:35,160 --> 02:38:37,160
into it

2156
02:38:39,160 --> 02:38:41,160
Did they go particularly away from it?

2157
02:38:43,160 --> 02:38:47,160
From the door? No, but they do they're like, not interested

2158
02:38:47,160 --> 02:38:51,160
I meant when it was left open or it's like some of the other ones

2159
02:38:51,160 --> 02:38:55,160
the two newer ones they were

2160
02:38:55,160 --> 02:38:59,160
just like little they were born in like a shed

2161
02:38:59,160 --> 02:39:03,160
so they've never really had to hunt for anything because the family found them and fed them

2162
02:39:03,160 --> 02:39:07,160
and took care of them and everything so they'll like

2163
02:39:07,160 --> 02:39:11,160
they'll sniff the outside and they'll be like kind of interested in it

2164
02:39:11,160 --> 02:39:15,160
or had the concern of being hunted no, they've never had to deal with that

2165
02:39:17,160 --> 02:39:21,160
Corey is the name of full paint chat said, my cat is terrified of the concept of

2166
02:39:21,160 --> 02:39:25,160
an outside existing it's a lot easier to take care of them that way

2167
02:39:27,160 --> 02:39:31,160
Hey, do you want to talk about Zillow? Yeah

2168
02:39:31,160 --> 02:39:35,160
Zillow launches a wow themed microsite as a marketing

2169
02:39:35,160 --> 02:39:39,160
as a marketing stunt I saw this in my Google news and went

2170
02:39:39,160 --> 02:39:43,160
and then kept scrolling because I was like there's no way that's actually real

2171
02:39:45,160 --> 02:39:49,160
The experience coincides with wow introducing player housing for the first time

2172
02:39:49,160 --> 02:39:53,160
tied to the upcoming midnight expansion the microsite features both player created

2173
02:39:53,160 --> 02:39:57,160
homes and blizzard built homes some with 3D tours

2174
02:39:57,160 --> 02:40:01,160
in a move that can only be described as savagely realistic

2175
02:40:01,160 --> 02:40:05,160
I can't interface with this You can't actually buy the houses

2176
02:40:05,160 --> 02:40:09,160
but users can hilariously

2177
02:40:09,160 --> 02:40:13,160
claim a free in-game Zillow inspired door mat

2178
02:40:17,160 --> 02:40:21,160
The listings are written in character with fictional Zillow real estate agents

2179
02:40:25,160 --> 02:40:29,160
Given the current affordability and housing crisis, does this seem tone deaf

2180
02:40:29,160 --> 02:40:33,160
on the part of Zillow and blizzard? Is it just fun? It's definitely just fun

2181
02:40:35,160 --> 02:40:39,160
I don't care about it at all but I'm sure it's fun

2182
02:40:39,160 --> 02:40:43,160
for someone but I don't think they're being

2183
02:40:43,160 --> 02:40:47,160
tone deaf dude People are buying houses

2184
02:40:47,160 --> 02:40:49,160
It's just not most people

2185
02:40:51,160 --> 02:40:55,160
And like, no I don't think they're just going to give you an entire house

2186
02:40:55,160 --> 02:40:59,160
in the game for free So a door mat is a collectible item

2187
02:40:59,160 --> 02:41:03,160
that's still neat as a free thing part of just a fun random promotional campaign

2188
02:41:05,160 --> 02:41:07,160
I think just don't think about it too much

2189
02:41:11,160 --> 02:41:15,160
The site's responsive again for me now Oh dang it

2190
02:41:17,160 --> 02:41:21,160
Stopped working again. What the heck Okay, well whatever that's kind of what it looks like

2191
02:41:21,160 --> 02:41:25,160
Good enough The site's working fine for me, that's weird

2192
02:41:25,160 --> 02:41:29,160
Oh here, I'll go to Luke's laptop There you go

2193
02:41:29,160 --> 02:41:33,160
Rugged rustic It's funny because the photos

2194
02:41:33,160 --> 02:41:37,160
and the videos that I'm seeing for these are actually a lot better

2195
02:41:37,160 --> 02:41:41,160
than most of the photos and videos that I see from realtors of actual homes

2196
02:41:41,160 --> 02:41:45,160
It's kind of funny and kind of sad Where's the HDR?

2197
02:41:45,160 --> 02:41:49,160
Yeah really Bektar Don Hamar

2198
02:41:49,160 --> 02:41:51,160
That's actually awesome

2199
02:41:53,160 --> 02:41:57,160
Wow, this is so much There's a floor plan

2200
02:41:57,160 --> 02:42:01,160
We are destroying most realtor posted homes

2201
02:42:01,160 --> 02:42:05,160
Oh my goodness Anything that lacks a floor plan is so

2202
02:42:05,160 --> 02:42:09,160
annoying to me Alright, meet the owner

2203
02:42:09,160 --> 02:42:11,160
That's not very normal

2204
02:42:13,160 --> 02:42:17,160
Neat, fun Oh speaking of neat and fun

2205
02:42:17,160 --> 02:42:21,160
We should talk about what's neat and fun on Flo Plain

2206
02:42:21,160 --> 02:42:25,160
Yes FB announcement, please read all the way through

2207
02:42:25,160 --> 02:42:29,160
before going off topic What?

2208
02:42:29,160 --> 02:42:33,160
I don't think we Let's specifically go on off topic

2209
02:42:33,160 --> 02:42:37,160
That wasn't the problem last time The problem last time was that they put

2210
02:42:37,160 --> 02:42:41,160
information that you needed at the beginning at the end

2211
02:42:41,160 --> 02:42:45,160
This week's theme is How many resources can Sammy steal

2212
02:42:45,160 --> 02:42:49,160
from the company before being fired? Hmm

2213
02:42:49,160 --> 02:42:53,160
We got a deep look inside what a week at LMG looks like

2214
02:42:53,160 --> 02:42:57,160
with some LTT leaks Sammy vlogged his entire week

2215
02:42:57,160 --> 02:43:01,160
showcasing things like how production shoots are scheduled

2216
02:43:01,160 --> 02:43:05,160
the behind the scenes on set our camera setups

2217
02:43:05,160 --> 02:43:09,160
we call it when we do packaging

2218
02:43:09,160 --> 02:43:13,160
so title, thumbnail, that kind of thing It also includes a ton of insider info

2219
02:43:13,160 --> 02:43:17,160
including leaking an entire month of LTT content

2220
02:43:17,160 --> 02:43:19,160
in the first minute

2221
02:43:25,160 --> 02:43:29,160
So that's this video Oh wow, people are loving this video

2222
02:43:29,160 --> 02:43:33,160
Alright Well, I'm glad that it was for something

2223
02:43:33,160 --> 02:43:37,160
We also have a refreshed meet the team

2224
02:43:37,160 --> 02:43:41,160
with Mr. David Pancratz, the technical production assistant

2225
02:43:41,160 --> 02:43:45,160
Sammy made Pancratz fix his PC in this video because if it's for content

2226
02:43:45,160 --> 02:43:49,160
you're allowed to make not IT fix your things

2227
02:43:49,160 --> 02:43:53,160
Okay That's good to know

2228
02:43:53,160 --> 02:43:57,160
as well I think he means his personal computer

2229
02:43:57,160 --> 02:44:01,160
What? Sammy

2230
02:44:01,160 --> 02:44:05,160
I think that's what he means Yeah, that is not a workstation that we

2231
02:44:05,160 --> 02:44:09,160
Yeah Provided to our employees

2232
02:44:09,160 --> 02:44:13,160
It doesn't look like he just fixed it It looks like he upgraded it

2233
02:44:13,160 --> 02:44:17,160
Oh yeah, that's the case from inventory Right

2234
02:44:21,160 --> 02:44:25,160
Okay Where are the lines here?

2235
02:44:25,160 --> 02:44:29,160
Oh, I see, it's signed out to lost We also took in viewer questions

2236
02:44:29,160 --> 02:44:33,160
which we're looking for more questions

2237
02:44:33,160 --> 02:44:37,160
featuring our new writer, Sean Frey We took in viewer questions

2238
02:44:37,160 --> 02:44:41,160
which we're looking for more I have no idea what he's talking about

2239
02:44:41,160 --> 02:44:45,160
And we're looking for more Sure, finally we also have

2240
02:44:45,160 --> 02:44:49,160
an early LTT video that went up a few days ago showcasing the Fluke

2241
02:44:49,160 --> 02:44:53,160
II915 and you would have known this if you were a Floatplane subscriber

2242
02:44:53,160 --> 02:44:57,160
Keep an eye out for more early releases like this one which will release

2243
02:44:57,160 --> 02:45:01,160
right now Oh, we're releasing

2244
02:45:01,160 --> 02:45:05,160
the Costco video That's not David's best thumbnail

2245
02:45:05,160 --> 02:45:09,160
I guess it's too late now Cool

2246
02:45:09,160 --> 02:45:13,160
Linus and David, buy a PC from Costco to answer one question

2247
02:45:13,160 --> 02:45:17,160
Is it the answer to rising PC prices or is it bait?

2248
02:45:17,160 --> 02:45:21,160
I'm going to take the A out there Alright, save

2249
02:45:21,160 --> 02:45:23,160
Boop

2250
02:45:27,160 --> 02:45:31,160
Fill your weekend with fun content Also, we'll have a behind the scenes of

2251
02:45:31,160 --> 02:45:35,160
TMS's wedding sometime next week Seriously?

2252
02:45:35,160 --> 02:45:39,160
Alright Sammy is like the embodiment of

2253
02:45:39,160 --> 02:45:43,160
anything for the content Seriously

2254
02:45:45,160 --> 02:45:49,160
Good stuff. Want to pick a topic? Do we talk about DLSS again?

2255
02:45:49,160 --> 02:45:53,160
There's two DLSS topics It sounds similar

2256
02:45:53,160 --> 02:45:57,160
DLSS is too good now We've talked about this before

2257
02:45:57,160 --> 02:46:01,160
Two Clicks Phillip Posted a video seeing how far they could

2258
02:46:01,160 --> 02:46:05,160
push DLSS while still having a Oh, I've seen this for sure

2259
02:46:05,160 --> 02:46:09,160
A quick recap for those who don't know

2260
02:46:09,160 --> 02:46:13,160
DLSS, really? We're going into that DLSS or Deep Learning Super Sampling

2261
02:46:13,160 --> 02:46:17,160
is NVIDIA's Okay, yeah

2262
02:46:17,160 --> 02:46:21,160
NVIDIA's image generation algorithm that allows gamers to render their games at lower resolutions

2263
02:46:21,160 --> 02:46:25,160
which are then upscaled to a more stable resolution while maintaining

2264
02:46:25,160 --> 02:46:29,160
high frame rates The YouTuber tested Kingdom Come

2265
02:46:29,160 --> 02:46:33,160
Deliverance 2 at 20% render for 4K

2266
02:46:33,160 --> 02:46:37,160
meaning 764x430 all the way down to 1%

2267
02:46:37,160 --> 02:46:41,160
scale or 38x22 just

2268
02:46:41,160 --> 02:46:45,160
38x22 Pixels

2269
02:46:45,160 --> 02:46:49,160
That's it. And it's impressive how well DLSS works now

2270
02:46:49,160 --> 02:46:53,160
and we have a maybe a short thing, but you should go watch the video

2271
02:46:53,160 --> 02:46:57,160
This is mind blowing The fact that that

2272
02:46:57,160 --> 02:47:01,160
you can kind of, you could totally play that is nuts

2273
02:47:01,160 --> 02:47:05,160
You could Not well

2274
02:47:05,160 --> 02:47:09,160
But you could Here is 136x76

2275
02:47:09,160 --> 02:47:13,160
So this is what, like 3% or something?

2276
02:47:13,160 --> 02:47:17,160
Or no, because it's probably not linear because that's actually a much larger, it's like 3%

2277
02:47:17,160 --> 02:47:21,160
in each dimension But you guys should definitely check out this video

2278
02:47:21,160 --> 02:47:25,160
It's got like half a million views because it's awesome

2279
02:47:25,160 --> 02:47:29,160
When did this come out? Because I feel like I saw this a bit ago. Yeah, here you go

2280
02:47:29,160 --> 02:47:33,160
So this is showing the difference between

2281
02:47:33,160 --> 02:47:35,160
This is 3 weeks old. Yeah

2282
02:47:37,160 --> 02:47:41,160
So this is original versus the upscaled one

2283
02:47:41,160 --> 02:47:45,160
It's genuinely pretty fascinating How it can take that

2284
02:47:45,160 --> 02:47:47,160
and turn it into that

2285
02:47:49,160 --> 02:47:53,160
This and turn it into this

2286
02:47:55,160 --> 02:47:59,160
Genuinely incredible Like there's a lot going on

2287
02:47:59,160 --> 02:48:03,160
over here where I would have a hard time telling if this is a

2288
02:48:03,160 --> 02:48:07,160
like my human eyes, if this is a path leading off this way or if it's a shadow of this tree

2289
02:48:07,160 --> 02:48:11,160
or like what the crap this is supposed to be. How it managed to resolve

2290
02:48:11,160 --> 02:48:15,160
any additional detail in the grass over here

2291
02:48:15,160 --> 02:48:17,160
Mind blowing

2292
02:48:19,160 --> 02:48:23,160
The way it kind of reconstructed the shadows and the lighting

2293
02:48:23,160 --> 02:48:27,160
and the bark here based on this Again

2294
02:48:27,160 --> 02:48:31,160
Mind blowing Pretty impressive. That was it

2295
02:48:31,160 --> 02:48:35,160
Just wanted to highlight that. Go watch 2kliksphilip's video. Super cool video

2296
02:48:35,160 --> 02:48:39,160
I knew I was like man I thought this was from a bit ago but yeah, 3 weeks ago. Yep

2297
02:48:39,160 --> 02:48:43,160
I watched that a while ago. Yeah, we never kind of talked about it so guys go

2298
02:48:43,160 --> 02:48:47,160
go check it out Really really really cool

2299
02:48:47,160 --> 02:48:51,160
Through the link in the chat. So did Dan Nice. Bookmarked that for later

2300
02:48:51,160 --> 02:48:55,160
Cause you're not done watching my show. Good call, I wouldn't have thought to put that in the doc but that was

2301
02:48:55,160 --> 02:48:59,160
awesome There's been a new world record set

2302
02:48:59,160 --> 02:49:03,160
for the tiniest QR code This source this time is Tom's Hardware

2303
02:49:03,160 --> 02:49:07,160
This is kind of incredible You want to do the story? Sure

2304
02:49:07,160 --> 02:49:11,160
With a pixel size of 49 nanometers

2305
02:49:11,160 --> 02:49:15,160
the smaller than a bacteria QR codes were created as a

2306
02:49:15,160 --> 02:49:19,160
collaboration between Vienna University of Technology and data storage company

2307
02:49:19,160 --> 02:49:23,160
Cerobi The codes are less than

2308
02:49:23,160 --> 02:49:27,160
half the size of the previous record and require an electron microscope

2309
02:49:27,160 --> 02:49:31,160
to read. The achievement will enable greater densities

2310
02:49:31,160 --> 02:49:35,160
in Cerabytes Yeah, Cerabyte makes more sense

2311
02:49:35,160 --> 02:49:39,160
I've heard of Cerabyte before Cerabytes ceramic storage

2312
02:49:39,160 --> 02:49:43,160
which they claim could enable very long term storage with capacities

2313
02:49:43,160 --> 02:49:47,160
up to 100 petabytes by 2030. And no, I actually

2314
02:49:47,160 --> 02:49:51,160
didn't dyslexia that there's just a typo Discussion question, how much storage do you

2315
02:49:51,160 --> 02:49:55,160
really need at home, you know, for all those Linux isos

2316
02:49:55,160 --> 02:49:59,160
Well There's been a lot of

2317
02:49:59,160 --> 02:50:03,160
very musically focused Linux distros

2318
02:50:03,160 --> 02:50:07,160
recently How big is that even though?

2319
02:50:07,160 --> 02:50:11,160
Not 100 petabytes. Yeah, like the Spotify rip was

2320
02:50:11,160 --> 02:50:15,160
I thought it was about a petabyte Yeah

2321
02:50:15,160 --> 02:50:19,160
100 petabytes I mean, recalling this

2322
02:50:19,160 --> 02:50:23,160
data is extremely challenging. This is meant for like, my understanding is like

2323
02:50:23,160 --> 02:50:27,160
a very long term resilient storage, like mass amounts

2324
02:50:27,160 --> 02:50:31,160
of storage. And for that we need

2325
02:50:31,160 --> 02:50:35,160
a lot but only if we care to preserve

2326
02:50:35,160 --> 02:50:39,160
everything that's being created right now, but so much of it is

2327
02:50:39,160 --> 02:50:43,160
so much of it, I don't I don't want. Wonder if we don't

2328
02:50:43,160 --> 02:50:47,160
really need to archive it? Oh, really? I thought it was a petabyte

2329
02:50:47,160 --> 02:50:51,160
300 terabytes

2330
02:50:51,160 --> 02:50:55,160
That sounds right to me. I had in my brain 30 terabytes and then I was like, yeah

2331
02:50:55,160 --> 02:50:59,160
it can't be enough, but I thought there was a 3 in it

2332
02:51:05,160 --> 02:51:09,160
Anyway, I thought this was cool That's all

2333
02:51:09,160 --> 02:51:13,160
No notes for this one Well, they put a few notes. Unreal Engine

2334
02:51:13,160 --> 02:51:17,160
Tournament, Unreal Tournament 2004. Okay, who's responsible

2335
02:51:17,160 --> 02:51:21,160
for calling it Unreal Engine Tournament? You know what? It doesn't matter

2336
02:51:21,160 --> 02:51:25,160
we're not going to name and shame. The point is it was not called that. It was called

2337
02:51:25,160 --> 02:51:29,160
Unreal Tournament Unreal Tournament 2004

2338
02:51:29,160 --> 02:51:33,160
is now available for free thanks to community collaboration

2339
02:51:33,160 --> 02:51:37,160
U.T. 2004, one of the greatest shooters of all time

2340
02:51:37,160 --> 02:51:41,160
just received its first public patch in over 20 years. This was

2341
02:51:41,160 --> 02:51:45,160
made possible by Old Unreal, a community support project dedicated to keeping

2342
02:51:45,160 --> 02:51:49,160
early Epic titles alive. This patch includes support for Windows, Linux,

2343
02:51:49,160 --> 02:51:53,160
and macOS along with various quality of life updates. Epic has given

2344
02:51:53,160 --> 02:51:57,160
permission for them to host the original files, so they have an easy

2345
02:51:57,160 --> 02:52:01,160
to use installer available Super cool

2346
02:52:01,160 --> 02:52:05,160
shout out Epic love to see it

2347
02:52:05,160 --> 02:52:09,160
that's all I have to say about that Yeah, I found it just

2348
02:52:09,160 --> 02:52:13,160
for people wondering it's definitely 300 terabytes I found some very early articles

2349
02:52:13,160 --> 02:52:17,160
that seem to just be kind of making out part of the story that said a petabyte, but it was

2350
02:52:17,160 --> 02:52:21,160
confirmed for sure a lot of times that it's 300 terabytes

2351
02:52:21,160 --> 02:52:25,160
All right meta wants to

2352
02:52:25,160 --> 02:52:29,160
oh yeah meta wants to make your grandma

2353
02:52:29,160 --> 02:52:33,160
immortal a patent granted late in December outlines

2354
02:52:33,160 --> 02:52:37,160
the use of an LLM to simulate a person's social media activity

2355
02:52:37,160 --> 02:52:41,160
when the user takes a long break or is deceased

2356
02:52:41,160 --> 02:52:45,160
the document states that the impact on the users is

2357
02:52:45,160 --> 02:52:49,160
much more severe and permanent if that user is deceased

2358
02:52:49,160 --> 02:52:51,160
and can never return to the platform

2359
02:52:53,160 --> 02:52:57,160
No s*** your new AI Nana could like

2360
02:52:57,160 --> 02:53:01,160
comment and respond to DMs from beyond the grave

2361
02:53:01,160 --> 02:53:05,160
potentially even joining audio and video calls

2362
02:53:05,160 --> 02:53:09,160
meta says the technology would be great for influencers who want to take

2363
02:53:09,160 --> 02:53:13,160
a break from social media without giving up income

2364
02:53:13,160 --> 02:53:17,160
get rid of it Dan thank you

2365
02:53:17,160 --> 02:53:21,160
one of the crazy things is I saw this in my google news feed

2366
02:53:21,160 --> 02:53:25,160
probably 10 minutes after seeing somebody

2367
02:53:25,160 --> 02:53:29,160
on facebook go to marketplace

2368
02:53:29,160 --> 02:53:33,160
there's somebody on facebook who's definitely passed away that you know

2369
02:53:33,160 --> 02:53:37,160
worked here and that was like

2370
02:53:37,160 --> 02:53:41,160
a sad moment to see them I'm pretty happy that I didn't have

2371
02:53:41,160 --> 02:53:43,160
a new message from them

2372
02:53:49,160 --> 02:53:53,160
I have some relatives that are getting pretty close

2373
02:53:53,160 --> 02:53:57,160
to the end and the last thing

2374
02:53:57,160 --> 02:54:01,160
that I want is fake

2375
02:54:01,160 --> 02:54:05,160
real conversations with them I'm instead taking

2376
02:54:05,160 --> 02:54:09,160
time now to talk to them while I still can

2377
02:54:09,160 --> 02:54:13,160
and that's what we should do if possible

2378
02:54:13,160 --> 02:54:17,160
and if it's not possible this is not the answer

2379
02:54:19,160 --> 02:54:23,160
cool hey but in other news

2380
02:54:23,160 --> 02:54:27,160
the netherlands defense secretary said on a podcast

2381
02:54:27,160 --> 02:54:31,160
that the f-35 like the warplane

2382
02:54:31,160 --> 02:54:35,160
can be jailbroken just like an iphone

2383
02:54:35,160 --> 02:54:39,160
implying that european forces could maintain the aircraft software

2384
02:54:39,160 --> 02:54:43,160
without us and lockheed martin support

2385
02:54:43,160 --> 02:54:47,160
currently the f-35 software has managed through lockheed martin's autonomic

2386
02:54:47,160 --> 02:54:51,160
logistics information system which is updates to the fleet every year or two

2387
02:54:51,160 --> 02:54:55,160
european countries own the physical planes but the u.s. controls the software

2388
02:54:55,160 --> 02:54:59,160
and update pipeline israel is currently the only country

2389
02:54:59,160 --> 02:55:03,160
that has negotiated a deal with lockheed martin allowing it to run its own software

2390
02:55:03,160 --> 02:55:07,160
on the f-35 fleet the comments came amid broader european fears

2391
02:55:07,160 --> 02:55:11,160
that the u.s. could remotely disable f-35 fleets

2392
02:55:11,160 --> 02:55:15,160
oh boy, gonna butcher this keem schramshofer

2393
02:55:17,160 --> 02:55:21,160
head of comms at german defense contractor hensult previously said

2394
02:55:21,160 --> 02:55:25,160
the idea of a remote kill switch was more than just a rumor

2395
02:55:25,160 --> 02:55:29,160
i gotta say the main reason that i flagged this

2396
02:55:29,160 --> 02:55:33,160
for the WAN Show was that while i realized that this was a problem

2397
02:55:33,160 --> 02:55:37,160
on a telephone and i realized

2398
02:55:37,160 --> 02:55:41,160
that it was a problem on a tractor i did not realize

2399
02:55:41,160 --> 02:55:45,160
that this was a problem on a military jet

2400
02:55:45,160 --> 02:55:49,160
for how much you pay for them you've gotta be f**king kidding me that you can't

2401
02:55:49,160 --> 02:55:53,160
oh i thought you meant the remote kill switch oh yeah, that too

2402
02:55:53,160 --> 02:55:57,160
that's insane how did we

2403
02:55:57,160 --> 02:56:01,160
all, even at that level accept

2404
02:56:01,160 --> 02:56:05,160
that this is okay can you make an f-35?

2405
02:56:05,160 --> 02:56:09,160
no there are alternatives

2406
02:56:09,160 --> 02:56:13,160
not a ton and they would all have probably a similar problem that's insane

2407
02:56:13,160 --> 02:56:17,160
i mean yes and no i bet if everyone got together

2408
02:56:17,160 --> 02:56:21,160
and basically just said no we will literally not buy any

2409
02:56:21,160 --> 02:56:25,160
if you don't deal with this how long do you think lockheed would hold out

2410
02:56:25,160 --> 02:56:29,160
i feel like they just try to hide it ugh

2411
02:56:29,160 --> 02:56:33,160
i mean that's a very military thing to do

2412
02:56:33,160 --> 02:56:37,160
in other german news, acer and ASUS have been blocked from selling PCs in germany

2413
02:56:37,160 --> 02:56:41,160
they could also just say no have fun being

2414
02:56:41,160 --> 02:56:45,160
not superior right

2415
02:56:45,160 --> 02:56:49,160
another angle they could take a german court has granted nokia

2416
02:56:49,160 --> 02:56:53,160
an injunction against the two firms selling desktops and laptops

2417
02:56:53,160 --> 02:56:57,160
stock that's already in the country can still be sold nokia claims acer ASUS

2418
02:56:57,160 --> 02:57:01,160
and tv maker heisense are infringing on three patents related to the

2419
02:57:01,160 --> 02:57:05,160
high efficiency video codec HEVC aka H265

2420
02:57:05,160 --> 02:57:09,160
heisense decided to enter a licensing agreement with nokia in january

2421
02:57:09,160 --> 02:57:13,160
but acer and ASUS continue to fight the allegations in court

2422
02:57:13,160 --> 02:57:17,160
HEVC is considered a standard essential patent due to its widespread use

2423
02:57:17,160 --> 02:57:21,160
which means special rules apply to ensure the technology is broadly available

2424
02:57:21,160 --> 02:57:25,160
while the patent holder is still fairly compensated and that's it

2425
02:57:25,160 --> 02:57:29,160
that's why HEVC never really took off because of stuff like this

2426
02:57:29,160 --> 02:57:33,160
which blows in other news google suddenly cares about ip theft

2427
02:57:33,160 --> 02:57:37,160
this is hilarious yeah

2428
02:57:37,160 --> 02:57:41,160
where we at where is that one top

2429
02:57:41,160 --> 02:57:45,160
yeah i think we've kind of talked about this one before i don't know how old this is

2430
02:57:45,160 --> 02:57:49,160
but google is accusing commercially motivated actors

2431
02:57:49,160 --> 02:57:53,160
of trying to clone the proprietary logic behind gemini ai

2432
02:57:55,160 --> 02:57:59,160
in other news the entire world is accusing google of slurping up

2433
02:57:59,160 --> 02:58:03,160
proprietary yeah yeah google says

2434
02:58:03,160 --> 02:58:07,160
distillation attacks have agents querying gemini up to 100,000 times

2435
02:58:07,160 --> 02:58:11,160
to try to extract the underlying model

2436
02:58:11,160 --> 02:58:15,160
this is hilarious this is also a thing that has been happening for a long time

2437
02:58:15,160 --> 02:58:19,160
and has happened to other people as well most notably open ai

2438
02:58:19,160 --> 02:58:23,160
model distillation ah hey okay model distillation attacks aren't a new thing

2439
02:58:23,160 --> 02:58:27,160
in early 2025 open ai suggested that chinese

2440
02:58:27,160 --> 02:58:31,160
startup deep seek had distilled open ai's models to create their own

2441
02:58:31,160 --> 02:58:35,160
cheaper more efficient model which as far as i understand it goes is like effectively confirmed

2442
02:58:35,160 --> 02:58:39,160
but i don't actually know that um where's the

2443
02:58:39,160 --> 02:58:43,160
um nice yeah where's the line how much does your company

2444
02:58:43,160 --> 02:58:47,160
need to be worth to ignore the law um i just think this is hilarious

2445
02:58:47,160 --> 02:58:51,160
because ip theft matters

2446
02:58:51,160 --> 02:58:55,160
immediately when it's their ip theft and it doesn't matter that what

2447
02:58:55,160 --> 02:58:59,160
underpins it was is ip theft on a scale

2448
02:58:59,160 --> 02:59:03,160
that i don't think the world has ever seen before yeah

2449
02:59:03,160 --> 02:59:07,160
yeah crazy last topic

2450
02:59:07,160 --> 02:59:11,160
harmful chemicals may be in your headphones

2451
02:59:11,160 --> 02:59:15,160
an EU environmental advocacy group called talks free life for all

2452
02:59:15,160 --> 02:59:19,160
released a study that tested 81 pairs of headphones

2453
02:59:19,160 --> 02:59:23,160
and supposedly found hazardous substances in all of them

2454
02:59:23,160 --> 02:59:27,160
the substances included known endocrine disruptors um which led to some

2455
02:59:27,160 --> 02:59:31,160
highly sensationalized pieces suggesting that speakers would be better

2456
02:59:31,160 --> 02:59:35,160
for your health compared to headphones if you are trying to avoid

2457
02:59:35,160 --> 02:59:39,160
cancer the study actually does seem to have some validity

2458
02:59:39,160 --> 02:59:43,160
to it but it mainly aimed to address companies that

2459
02:59:43,160 --> 02:59:47,160
circumvent regulations with equally bad alternatives since these chemicals are handled on a substance

2460
02:59:47,160 --> 02:59:51,160
by substance basis not to mention that these chemicals are only an issue from

2461
02:59:51,160 --> 02:59:55,160
cumulative long term exposure across many kinds of plastics

2462
02:59:55,160 --> 02:59:59,160
products like apple airpods pro 2s and sony w h 1000 xm 5s were rated

2463
02:59:59,160 --> 03:00:03,160
safe the real problems were knockoffs from marketplaces like

2464
03:00:03,160 --> 03:00:07,160
temu that's not surprising

2465
03:00:07,160 --> 03:00:11,160
but it's also like dang the ones that are safe

2466
03:00:11,160 --> 03:00:15,160
are really expensive um also

2467
03:00:15,160 --> 03:00:19,160
uh reilly sent me another kind of summary

2468
03:00:19,160 --> 03:00:23,160
of this that i had sort of expected to be in the summary that was

2469
03:00:23,160 --> 03:00:27,160
in the uh the wandshow doc um

2470
03:00:27,160 --> 03:00:31,160
but basically he was kind of saying that

2471
03:00:31,160 --> 03:00:35,160
a lot of this is sort of extrapolating

2472
03:00:35,160 --> 03:00:39,160
what may be a concern so commenters have connected

2473
03:00:39,160 --> 03:00:43,160
the headlines of that they might be using alternative chemicals that are less regulated

2474
03:00:43,160 --> 03:00:47,160
and um that some of these chemicals

2475
03:00:47,160 --> 03:00:51,160
still need to be like studied and turned it into connected

2476
03:00:51,160 --> 03:00:55,160
these dots and um gone like oh no all headphones are poisonous

2477
03:00:55,160 --> 03:00:59,160
and then meanwhile the other side has gone completely other side

2478
03:00:59,160 --> 03:01:03,160
of the pendulum swing and gone that's such an overreaction that it must be completely

2479
03:01:03,160 --> 03:01:07,160
safe and there is no problem but as usual the truth

2480
03:01:07,160 --> 03:01:11,160
probably lies somewhere in the middle

2481
03:01:11,160 --> 03:01:15,160
mm-hmm Dan i think it's time for after dark i've got one more

2482
03:01:15,160 --> 03:01:19,160
uh chat really wants me to talk about this one or us really

2483
03:01:19,160 --> 03:01:23,160
we've really kind of two more i guess youtube went down people wanted our comments

2484
03:01:23,160 --> 03:01:27,160
on this oh that's bad i think we're both like dang

2485
03:01:27,160 --> 03:01:29,160
whoops they should not do that

2486
03:01:31,160 --> 03:01:35,160
yeah it was for me it was really interesting for

2487
03:01:35,160 --> 03:01:39,160
for some people to see how compartmentalized certain systems are because people were like

2488
03:01:39,160 --> 03:01:43,160
oh like with direct links i can still play videos but like the home page is down

2489
03:01:43,160 --> 03:01:47,160
blah blah blah blah blah and it's like yeah it's fascinating um but anyways

2490
03:01:47,160 --> 03:01:51,160
moving on from that uh there's also this we talked about a little bit in the pre

2491
03:01:51,160 --> 03:01:55,160
show hackers exposed discord age verification system issue after persona

2492
03:01:55,160 --> 03:01:59,160
front end code was left a wide open uh we don't have topic notes on this but

2493
03:01:59,160 --> 03:02:03,160
uh this this is i think what i said in the

2494
03:02:03,160 --> 03:02:07,160
pre show was like whoever did this i want to shake your hand um

2495
03:02:07,160 --> 03:02:11,160
great work congratulations you made your point and that's

2496
03:02:11,160 --> 03:02:15,160
such a good point to make and such important timing

2497
03:02:15,160 --> 03:02:19,160
that you nailed it so fast this is why this is a problem

2498
03:02:19,160 --> 03:02:23,160
way to go thank you um

2499
03:02:23,160 --> 03:02:27,160
but yeah this just goes to show

2500
03:02:27,160 --> 03:02:31,160
that we need them to not collect data like this

2501
03:02:31,160 --> 03:02:35,160
because it's just gonna go out there um

2502
03:02:37,160 --> 03:02:41,160
yeah and again just like we were talking last week

2503
03:02:41,160 --> 03:02:45,160
try some alternatives have have a like fun random day with your friends where you're like

2504
03:02:45,160 --> 03:02:49,160
let's play three different games and each time let's try a different voice chat

2505
03:02:49,160 --> 03:02:51,160
service just for fun um

2506
03:02:53,160 --> 03:02:57,160
and and see how it goes and even if you end up having both or something

2507
03:02:57,160 --> 03:03:01,160
like that at least start legitimizing alternatives

2508
03:03:01,160 --> 03:03:05,160
one of the biggest issues when you have markets like the voice chat market

2509
03:03:05,160 --> 03:03:09,160
is there is only one thing that matters right now and that sucks

2510
03:03:09,160 --> 03:03:13,160
if we can even make it so that there's two that is such a massive gain

2511
03:03:13,160 --> 03:03:17,160
if there's if we start legitimizing make it normalize that there's other ones

2512
03:03:17,160 --> 03:03:21,160
that people use then discourse market show will fall quickly

2513
03:03:21,160 --> 03:03:25,160
and that's a good idea the whole 3d printed guns thing

2514
03:03:25,160 --> 03:03:29,160
is continuing to evolve california bill would restrict

2515
03:03:29,160 --> 03:03:33,160
3d printer sales to state approved models to prevent printing gun parts

2516
03:03:33,160 --> 03:03:37,160
joins washington and new york on legal offensive yeah that's not gonna work

2517
03:03:37,160 --> 03:03:41,160
so first of all it won't work second of all rough

2518
03:03:41,160 --> 03:03:45,160
because now there's now there's all this insider collusion of companies

2519
03:03:45,160 --> 03:03:49,160
bribing people to be on the approved list and there's already an incredible

2520
03:03:49,160 --> 03:03:53,160
amount of corruption in every single government everywhere so that's definitely going to happen

2521
03:03:53,160 --> 03:03:57,160
i'm not even calling it america it's just the world

2522
03:03:57,160 --> 03:04:01,160
if this was in canada the same thing would be a problem

2523
03:04:01,160 --> 03:04:05,160
especially bc hey

2524
03:04:05,160 --> 03:04:07,160
hey

2525
03:04:09,160 --> 03:04:13,160
yeah after dark? yes

2526
03:04:13,160 --> 03:04:17,160
after dark button

2527
03:04:17,160 --> 03:04:21,160
button button there we go

2528
03:04:21,160 --> 03:04:25,160
alright up first hey lld and future me

2529
03:04:25,160 --> 03:04:29,160
always watch vod on saturday mornings what's the

2530
03:04:29,160 --> 03:04:33,160
scariest thing about starting your own business and how did you deal with that fear

2531
03:04:33,160 --> 03:04:37,160
the scariest thing is not having money to eat and to pay the people

2532
03:04:37,160 --> 03:04:41,160
who work for you and

2533
03:04:41,160 --> 03:04:45,160
your mortgage and how did you deal with that fear

2534
03:04:45,160 --> 03:04:49,160
work harder so that

2535
03:04:49,160 --> 03:04:51,160
that doesn't happen

2536
03:04:53,160 --> 03:04:57,160
i mean it's just it's a tale as old as time right

2537
03:04:57,160 --> 03:05:01,160
there are advantages to entrepreneurship and there are advantages

2538
03:05:01,160 --> 03:05:05,160
to employment hitching your cart to a horse that

2539
03:05:05,160 --> 03:05:09,160
has been walking for a long time

2540
03:05:09,160 --> 03:05:13,160
and seems to have a lot of road out ahead of it offers

2541
03:05:13,160 --> 03:05:17,160
security while entrepreneurship can offer incredible opportunity

2542
03:05:17,160 --> 03:05:21,160
but i forget what percentage of business it is that fail in the first

2543
03:05:21,160 --> 03:05:25,160
five years but it's a lot so it's not a

2544
03:05:25,160 --> 03:05:29,160
guarantee and it's not right for everyone but it was right for

2545
03:05:29,160 --> 03:05:31,160
me and i'm glad it worked out the way that it did

2546
03:05:33,160 --> 03:05:37,160
oh i accidentally just archived the site no i didn't nope that was me nice

2547
03:05:37,160 --> 03:05:41,160
hi Linus and luke my grade school kids love

2548
03:05:41,160 --> 03:05:45,160
gaming and learning about pc parts thanks to astro bot but

2549
03:05:45,160 --> 03:05:49,160
Windows feels complex versus console slash tablet slash

2550
03:05:49,160 --> 03:05:53,160
chromebooks any tips for teaching them a quote unquote real

2551
03:05:53,160 --> 03:05:55,160
operating system

2552
03:05:57,160 --> 03:06:01,160
you said they love learning just maybe try to make it fun yeah and i mean

2553
03:06:01,160 --> 03:06:05,160
realistically my i was kind of blown away

2554
03:06:05,160 --> 03:06:09,160
by some of the stuff that my son was doing so that he could mod minecraft

2555
03:06:09,160 --> 03:06:13,160
and stuff they just have to they have to have a reason to

2556
03:06:13,160 --> 03:06:17,160
learn it otherwise they're not going to bother Windows is not that complicated these days

2557
03:06:17,160 --> 03:06:21,160
if you are sufficiently motivated to do it and kids

2558
03:06:21,160 --> 03:06:25,160
brains are so malleable i was see do you see the do you see that

2559
03:06:25,160 --> 03:06:29,160
kid that like destroyed the sub three second solve on a

2560
03:06:29,160 --> 03:06:33,160
three by three rubik's cube recently kids like seven or something

2561
03:06:33,160 --> 03:06:37,160
i don't i don't know how old he is seven-year-olds with chess or rubik's

2562
03:06:37,160 --> 03:06:41,160
cubes are terrifying yeah hold on what's this kids name

2563
03:06:41,160 --> 03:06:45,160
teodor zad zad

2564
03:06:45,160 --> 03:06:49,160
zadster 2.76 seconds

2565
03:06:49,160 --> 03:06:53,160
2.76 seconds that's absurd

2566
03:06:53,160 --> 03:06:55,160
seven years ago

2567
03:06:57,160 --> 03:07:01,160
this was a question will there ever be a sub three

2568
03:07:01,160 --> 03:07:05,160
sub three i could see as the very edge of possibility

2569
03:07:05,160 --> 03:07:09,160
with an absurd solve well

2570
03:07:09,160 --> 03:07:13,160
2.76 like obliterated

2571
03:07:13,160 --> 03:07:15,160
obliterated the record

2572
03:07:17,160 --> 03:07:21,160
yeah when you're getting down into that such a small amount of total

2573
03:07:21,160 --> 03:07:25,160
time that's an insane amount of time to chop off

2574
03:07:27,160 --> 03:07:31,160
blah blah blah blah blah this isn't it is it yeah there we go

2575
03:07:31,160 --> 03:07:35,160
it would have to be like at an event so he gets 15 seconds to look at it

2576
03:07:35,160 --> 03:07:37,160
i

2577
03:07:49,160 --> 03:07:53,160
is that wild or wild like

2578
03:07:53,160 --> 03:07:57,160
wow i'm not a moron

2579
03:07:57,160 --> 03:08:01,160
but you'll never do that i will never do

2580
03:08:01,160 --> 03:08:05,160
that no matter how hard i tried no matter how long i worked at it doesn't matter

2581
03:08:05,160 --> 03:08:09,160
yep age ago which was like a six-sided

2582
03:08:09,160 --> 03:08:13,160
cnc machine attached to a rubik's cube and it did it in like one second

2583
03:08:13,160 --> 03:08:17,160
it's like twice as fast as a computer controlled robot

2584
03:08:19,160 --> 03:08:23,160
mind blowing katoa says i can solve in five minutes

2585
03:08:23,160 --> 03:08:27,160
yeah exactly it's crappy dp you'll also never kickflip 100%

2586
03:08:29,160 --> 03:08:33,160
so give your kids credit don't baby them they can figure it out

2587
03:08:33,160 --> 03:08:37,160
they just have to be sufficiently motivated give them a project

2588
03:08:37,160 --> 03:08:41,160
it's like people say learn programming by making a calculator no

2589
03:08:41,160 --> 03:08:45,160
find a problem do something more interesting yeah my gang

2590
03:08:45,160 --> 03:08:49,160
thinking about automate something around your house yeah thinking about age

2591
03:08:49,160 --> 03:08:53,160
verification who do you think would be able to reliably figure out

2592
03:08:53,160 --> 03:08:57,160
and implement safe age verification maybe steam

2593
03:08:57,160 --> 03:09:01,160
maybe def con well that's the whole point is that you can't

2594
03:09:01,160 --> 03:09:05,160
it's not gonna happen and we need to stop

2595
03:09:05,160 --> 03:09:09,160
like chasing this weird dragon

2596
03:09:09,160 --> 03:09:13,160
i'd uh the only solution

2597
03:09:13,160 --> 03:09:17,160
is for someone who already is tracking all of this

2598
03:09:17,160 --> 03:09:21,160
like the government except i don't trust them to keep it safe

2599
03:09:21,160 --> 03:09:25,160
so well that's what i'm saying though no i'm agreeing with you

2600
03:09:25,160 --> 03:09:29,160
yeah no except i don't trust them to keep it safe

2601
03:09:29,160 --> 03:09:33,160
any more than i would even less i'd say than i would trust a corporate entity

2602
03:09:33,160 --> 03:09:37,160
so since we can't do it safely we need to just

2603
03:09:37,160 --> 03:09:41,160
not do it it's like asking like

2604
03:09:41,160 --> 03:09:45,160
and what's it all for like who could figure out how to reliably make it so that i

2605
03:09:45,160 --> 03:09:49,160
can enjoy my crystal meth how about we just

2606
03:09:49,160 --> 03:09:53,160
don't crystal meth yeah it's

2607
03:09:53,160 --> 03:09:57,160
the thing is like it's going to be circumvented anyways

2608
03:09:59,160 --> 03:10:03,160
obviously okay this is pretty funny

2609
03:10:03,160 --> 03:10:07,160
mcbane says leisure suit larry solved that 35 years ago do you know what

2610
03:10:07,160 --> 03:10:11,160
the age check was for leisure suit larry just ask you questions that

2611
03:10:11,160 --> 03:10:15,160
only older people would know the answer to it wouldn't work in the age of

2612
03:10:15,160 --> 03:10:19,160
google and like chat gpt or whatever but

2613
03:10:19,160 --> 03:10:23,160
here here here here here here um maybe you have to like

2614
03:10:23,160 --> 03:10:25,160
um

2615
03:10:27,160 --> 03:10:31,160
control plain and simple there's yeah i mean we've been controlling

2616
03:10:31,160 --> 03:10:35,160
data collection but my my thing is like

2617
03:10:35,160 --> 03:10:39,160
if you try to think of it positively what is what is the gain and the gain effectively

2618
03:10:39,160 --> 03:10:43,160
doesn't exist because it's it's so la la land it's like okay we can keep the kids

2619
03:10:43,160 --> 03:10:47,160
from okay doing these bad things like yeah if they care they're gonna go

2620
03:10:47,160 --> 03:10:51,160
around it like it's you have you

2621
03:10:51,160 --> 03:10:53,160
let's play a game

2622
03:10:55,160 --> 03:10:57,160
tiptoe through the tulips was recorded by

2623
03:10:59,160 --> 03:11:01,160
it plays ukulele

2624
03:11:03,160 --> 03:11:07,160
very tall very high i wouldn't be able to play this game i'm looking at

2625
03:11:07,160 --> 03:11:11,160
some other questions i would not be able to play this game i mean you would know

2626
03:11:11,160 --> 03:11:15,160
probably this one yeah a kid

2627
03:11:15,160 --> 03:11:19,160
probably wouldn't care at that time do you know what a neighbor jacket is

2628
03:11:19,160 --> 03:11:23,160
no where's the beef where's the beef

2629
03:11:23,160 --> 03:11:25,160
okay i wouldn't have got that

2630
03:11:27,160 --> 03:11:31,160
tiny tim i'm upset about myself

2631
03:11:31,160 --> 03:11:35,160
uh does a pair of queens beat three deuces

2632
03:11:35,160 --> 03:11:39,160
i don't think so

2633
03:11:39,160 --> 03:11:43,160
three twos yeah

2634
03:11:43,160 --> 03:11:47,160
uh i assume this is poker yes in oh in blackjack

2635
03:11:47,160 --> 03:11:51,160
yes in blackjack good gravy

2636
03:11:51,160 --> 03:11:55,160
three pair of two pair this is multiple choice

2637
03:11:55,160 --> 03:11:59,160
oh you just have to type what jokers do you have type them in yeah

2638
03:11:59,160 --> 03:12:01,160
is my banana still there or not

2639
03:12:03,160 --> 03:12:07,160
have i upgraded my my card which is non-alcoholic

2640
03:12:07,160 --> 03:12:11,160
see perrier like this was their solution to age

2641
03:12:11,160 --> 03:12:15,160
verification which is pretty based actually that's so cool that's so smart

2642
03:12:17,160 --> 03:12:19,160
the result of watergate was

2643
03:12:21,160 --> 03:12:25,160
back when scandals actually had consequences

2644
03:12:25,160 --> 03:12:27,160
oh yeah any kid these days would just say nothing

2645
03:12:31,160 --> 03:12:35,160
sorry there was a little too real we paid them more money for some reason

2646
03:12:39,160 --> 03:12:43,160
moving on the result of watergate was someone made a watergate coin

2647
03:12:47,160 --> 03:12:51,160
in fts oh my god

2648
03:12:51,160 --> 03:12:55,160
this is a real world that we live in hi dll would you rather

2649
03:12:55,160 --> 03:12:59,160
lose five percent of your personal data at a at random

2650
03:12:59,160 --> 03:13:03,160
every year no buck backups are allowed or have one hundred percent

2651
03:13:03,160 --> 03:13:07,160
of your data perfectly preserved forever but completely unencrypted and publicly

2652
03:13:07,160 --> 03:13:11,160
accessible five percent gone see ya

2653
03:13:18,160 --> 03:13:22,160
he's trying to calculate how much of it's leaked anyways

2654
03:13:27,160 --> 03:13:31,160
a hundred percent of your data when you say data you got here help me help me

2655
03:13:31,160 --> 03:13:35,160
out a little bit are we talking digital files i kind of took this as like

2656
03:13:35,160 --> 03:13:39,160
your nas at home that's how i took it okay but do i have a chance

2657
03:13:39,160 --> 03:13:43,160
to scrub it first oh it's not like today

2658
03:13:43,160 --> 03:13:47,160
it's like if you want to store stuff in the future so i could go through

2659
03:13:47,160 --> 03:13:51,160
and i could like remove any pictures of my passport that i took at some point to like send

2660
03:13:51,160 --> 03:13:55,160
so you could book a flight but they would have to be deleted you couldn't have them anywhere else

2661
03:13:55,160 --> 03:13:59,160
yeah i think you could never store them ever either

2662
03:13:59,160 --> 03:14:03,160
i don't think you could take a picture of it i'd accept that

2663
03:14:03,160 --> 03:14:07,160
going forward i would just have to have like perfect digital hygiene

2664
03:14:07,160 --> 03:14:11,160
but that would mean you could never take a picture under any circumstance of your of your passport

2665
03:14:11,160 --> 03:14:15,160
that's how i'm interpreting i could message it to someone

2666
03:14:15,160 --> 03:14:19,160
because it's it's the picture is only for convenience

2667
03:14:19,160 --> 03:14:23,160
my convenience not the recipient too so like honestly it would

2668
03:14:23,160 --> 03:14:27,160
make me more considerate i think that's not in the spirit of the question

2669
03:14:27,160 --> 03:14:31,160
it just says personal data i interpreted it as like things i would

2670
03:14:31,160 --> 03:14:35,160
store on a nas but i think yeah you're maybe going a bit too far taking

2671
03:14:35,160 --> 03:14:39,160
a photo is is personal data it would be saved on your phone and then

2672
03:14:39,160 --> 03:14:43,160
it would be publicly accessible yeah so then i wouldn't take that picture anymore is what i'm saying

2673
03:14:43,160 --> 03:14:47,160
like i could send them text but i wouldn't count that as like that i wouldn't store that

2674
03:14:47,160 --> 03:14:51,160
on a nas so does that count because i interpreted it as

2675
03:14:51,160 --> 03:14:55,160
stored on a nas and that's what i'm even remotely considering if we're talking

2676
03:14:55,160 --> 03:14:59,160
every message that i ever send to anyone ever forever that is personal

2677
03:14:59,160 --> 03:15:03,160
data then okay so which one is it i

2678
03:15:03,160 --> 03:15:07,160
have leaned more to wire it to the nas side i think that that was maybe a little more easily

2679
03:15:07,160 --> 03:15:11,160
conceptualizable otherwise everything else is just like oh well i

2680
03:15:11,160 --> 03:15:15,160
just let's just not use the internet you have like your

2681
03:15:15,160 --> 03:15:19,160
taxes and stuff i mean i don't

2682
03:15:19,160 --> 03:15:23,160
think i keep that on my nas i don't do my taxes so that's gonna say does

2683
03:15:23,160 --> 03:15:27,160
your is your wife yeah but that's not my personal data then

2684
03:15:27,160 --> 03:15:31,160
like i don't have it so i'm just losing 5%

2685
03:15:31,160 --> 03:15:35,160
but you might be able to do the hundo what are you doing

2686
03:15:35,160 --> 03:15:39,160
i think it was on the nas i would

2687
03:15:39,160 --> 03:15:43,160
man that's just personal data i don't think you can be like just only

2688
03:15:43,160 --> 03:15:47,160
the things i put on my nas okay they said personal data then it's got to be the 5% and i'll just

2689
03:15:47,160 --> 03:15:49,160
take five of every picture and hope that

2690
03:15:51,160 --> 03:15:55,160
for me it's all about just mathematically game it just by a ton of extra hard

2691
03:15:55,160 --> 03:15:59,160
yes that's what i would do there's like

2692
03:15:59,160 --> 03:16:03,160
well no because i think 40 million pictures of one parking spot

2693
03:16:03,160 --> 03:16:07,160
i don't know that's your nas if you think about

2694
03:16:07,160 --> 03:16:09,160
don't look at my camera roll either

2695
03:16:11,160 --> 03:16:15,160
i think maybe more in the spirit of like 5% of like

2696
03:16:15,160 --> 03:16:19,160
you know if you had 40 million of the same picture you would lose that picture

2697
03:16:19,160 --> 03:16:23,160
yeah probably it's all hash so if it's the same picture disagree

2698
03:16:23,160 --> 03:16:27,160
i would no i would take i would just like you would gamble with it i'd hit my shutter five times

2699
03:16:27,160 --> 03:16:31,160
every time so they're all slightly different man i print photos

2700
03:16:31,160 --> 03:16:35,160
i think that would actually be a huge part of my

2701
03:16:35,160 --> 03:16:39,160
my countermeasures against this is i would actually print photos

2702
03:16:39,160 --> 03:16:43,160
yeah just go back interesting because for me anything else is like

2703
03:16:43,160 --> 03:16:47,160
replaceable but photos are not i think i'm gonna do the 100%

2704
03:16:47,160 --> 03:16:51,160
you're gonna do the 100% and just put it all out there because it's stuff that

2705
03:16:51,160 --> 03:16:55,160
i would not want to lose like there's a lot of stuff that i cloud replicate nightly

2706
03:16:55,160 --> 03:16:59,160
you know it's kind of my my super slide data

2707
03:16:59,160 --> 03:17:03,160
you can't pirate anything anymore ever again not that you do

2708
03:17:03,160 --> 03:17:07,160
well you can you'll just people just know yeah so then you can't why not

2709
03:17:07,160 --> 03:17:11,160
because you get sued to oblivion oh come on not in canada there's no

2710
03:17:11,160 --> 03:17:15,160
obfuscation though i think you still would i'll just i don't license and zip bonds

2711
03:17:15,160 --> 03:17:19,160
it'll be fine you can't be sued for pirating anything in canada

2712
03:17:19,160 --> 03:17:21,160
that doesn't seem right and no i really don't think so

2713
03:17:25,160 --> 03:17:29,160
someone not a lawyer but like i this would be like an insane haven

2714
03:17:32,160 --> 03:17:35,160
online piracy is a criminal offense in canada

2715
03:17:37,160 --> 03:17:41,160
yeah but what's the consequence for it like that someone would have to actually pursue it

2716
03:17:47,160 --> 03:17:51,160
and is that for downloading or is that for sharing

2717
03:17:51,160 --> 03:17:55,160
i'm trying to look through it i think i think just leaching

2718
03:17:55,160 --> 03:17:59,160
you can't really i get like

2719
03:17:59,160 --> 03:18:03,160
hit too hard for in 2022 22.4

2720
03:18:03,160 --> 03:18:07,160
percent of canadians access pirate services that sounds about right let's

2721
03:18:07,160 --> 03:18:11,160
go all right

2722
03:18:11,160 --> 03:18:15,160
with all the tech prices do you think

2723
03:18:15,160 --> 03:18:19,160
apparently thousands of canadians every year are the targets of legal action based on

2724
03:18:19,160 --> 03:18:23,160
piracy yeah but is that for redistribution

2725
03:18:25,160 --> 03:18:29,160
that's my understanding it doesn't seem too specific

2726
03:18:31,160 --> 03:18:35,160
anyway sorry keep going with all of the tech

2727
03:18:35,160 --> 03:18:39,160
prices do you think optane or ready boost might make a return

2728
03:18:39,160 --> 03:18:43,160
not optane because Intel and uh what's the nuts

2729
03:18:43,160 --> 03:18:47,160
micron completely divorced over that whole thing

2730
03:18:49,160 --> 03:18:53,160
optane was so cool but the concept of an

2731
03:18:53,160 --> 03:18:57,160
SSD cash i was actually thinking about that earlier as we were talking about our

2732
03:18:57,160 --> 03:19:01,160
drive and storage prices it works really well it does

2733
03:19:01,160 --> 03:19:05,160
it's it's kind of a a very underrated

2734
03:19:05,160 --> 03:19:09,160
solution to a problem that became not a problem but is becoming

2735
03:19:09,160 --> 03:19:13,160
a problem again which is kind of neat because i thought it was a fun solution as well

2736
03:19:13,160 --> 03:19:17,160
i use it on my nest it's fun it's cool it's interesting

2737
03:19:17,160 --> 03:19:21,160
nifty it's neat i tried to buy an optane drive because Linus

2738
03:19:21,160 --> 03:19:25,160
was talking them up so much uh and they were like 250 bucks

2739
03:19:25,160 --> 03:19:29,160
for a teeny tiny one when i was looking

2740
03:19:29,160 --> 03:19:33,160
and then really yeah i think it was like right near the end or something

2741
03:19:33,160 --> 03:19:37,160
and yeah i just got like 128 gig

2742
03:19:37,160 --> 03:19:41,160
SSD for like a dollar at that time

2743
03:19:41,160 --> 03:19:45,160
back in my day you can still get the 16 gig ones for like 10 bucks

2744
03:19:45,160 --> 03:19:49,160
20 with delivery yeah i wasn't looking at any of it because i'm stupid

2745
03:19:49,160 --> 03:19:53,160
alright here's 10

2746
03:19:53,160 --> 03:19:57,160
of the 16 gig ones for $53 stuff like this is always confusing to me

2747
03:19:57,160 --> 03:20:01,160
because i really don't think a lot

2748
03:20:01,160 --> 03:20:05,160
obviously people bought them right um

2749
03:20:05,160 --> 03:20:09,160
but like they were never popular that i was aware of

2750
03:20:09,160 --> 03:20:13,160
so like they clearly produced them at a

2751
03:20:13,160 --> 03:20:17,160
volume that like people have this many of them you know

2752
03:20:17,160 --> 03:20:21,160
like what who was buying these where where did

2753
03:20:21,160 --> 03:20:25,160
they where did they come from where did they go server offloading i think but like

2754
03:20:25,160 --> 03:20:29,160
16 gig for what

2755
03:20:29,160 --> 03:20:33,160
what who put these in anything what are we even talking about here no idea

2756
03:20:33,160 --> 03:20:35,160
yeah right wild anyway

2757
03:20:37,160 --> 03:20:41,160
where do you see the line between a company's agency and the need

2758
03:20:41,160 --> 03:20:45,160
to act upon the whims of a consumer base i.e.

2759
03:20:45,160 --> 03:20:49,160
why pressure apple to support air pods on Android if it's not the vision

2760
03:20:49,160 --> 03:20:53,160
for the product because they're bluetooth headphones that benefit

2761
03:20:53,160 --> 03:20:57,160
from the industry-wide standard that is bluetooth

2762
03:20:57,160 --> 03:21:01,160
and in my mind a

2763
03:21:01,160 --> 03:21:05,160
basic part of a product is providing ongoing support

2764
03:21:05,160 --> 03:21:09,160
which apple clearly agrees with given that they actually do a phenomenal

2765
03:21:09,160 --> 03:21:13,160
job generally speaking of providing ongoing software and firmware support for their

2766
03:21:13,160 --> 03:21:17,160
products and i bought it that's why

2767
03:21:17,160 --> 03:21:21,160
i bought it it's mine

2768
03:21:21,160 --> 03:21:25,160
you have an obligation to warranty it and support it and the fact

2769
03:21:25,160 --> 03:21:29,160
that i didn't buy another one of your products is just

2770
03:21:29,160 --> 03:21:31,160
utter arrogance

2771
03:21:33,160 --> 03:21:37,160
as for what their vision of the experience is

2772
03:21:37,160 --> 03:21:41,160
that's nice but my vision of the experience

2773
03:21:41,160 --> 03:21:45,160
is that when you provide a firmware update i have a f***ing

2774
03:21:45,160 --> 03:21:49,160
way to apply it without buying another one of your products because i already

2775
03:21:49,160 --> 03:21:53,160
f***ing bought one it's pretty simple to me

2776
03:21:53,160 --> 03:21:57,160
and the fact that anyone will put apples dong

2777
03:21:57,160 --> 03:22:01,160
so far down their throat to defend something like that

2778
03:22:01,160 --> 03:22:03,160
is mind blowing

2779
03:22:05,160 --> 03:22:09,160
they don't know you they don't know your name

2780
03:22:09,160 --> 03:22:13,160
they don't care about you you're pretending bad behavior

2781
03:22:13,160 --> 03:22:17,160
if google did the same thing or samsung did the same thing

2782
03:22:17,160 --> 03:22:21,160
i would think it was ridiculous if you buy the product

2783
03:22:21,160 --> 03:22:25,160
you are the customer and you should be supported

2784
03:22:25,160 --> 03:22:29,160
full stop thank you for coming

2785
03:22:29,160 --> 03:22:33,160
to my ted talk i'm thinking about

2786
03:22:33,160 --> 03:22:37,160
switching to steam os on my main pc but i have

2787
03:22:37,160 --> 03:22:41,160
different monitors or just wing it with the three I have now

2788
03:22:45,160 --> 03:22:49,160
wing it wing it save that money son yeah

2789
03:22:51,160 --> 03:22:55,160
does it not support mismatch monitors or something I think they just want their bezels to match

2790
03:22:57,160 --> 03:23:01,160
and like everything be even in the bases look the same don't worry about it

2791
03:23:02,160 --> 03:23:09,160
yeah don't worry about it hey LLD thinking of building a 10 gigabit nas

2792
03:23:09,160 --> 03:23:14,160
if I am running ZFs Z2 in true nas

2793
03:23:14,160 --> 03:23:17,160
would I benefit from buying SAS drives with HPA

2794
03:23:17,160 --> 03:23:22,160
the exos X24 SAS drives are almost the same price with current pricing

2795
03:23:22,160 --> 03:23:28,160
I wouldn't get SAS drives just because then you're limited to using SAS HPAs forever

2796
03:23:28,160 --> 03:23:37,160
and for a home user the benefit of SAS is just not going to materialize

2797
03:23:37,160 --> 03:23:41,160
I would I would go SATA assuming that the cost is equal

2798
03:23:41,160 --> 03:23:47,160
the only way that I would go SAS as a home user is that is if for some reason

2799
03:23:47,160 --> 03:23:53,160
there was like a lot like like not like a large quantity like like like an auction lot

2800
03:23:54,160 --> 03:23:59,160
like like a bunch of SAS drives and they were an amazing deal like way cheaper

2801
03:23:59,160 --> 03:24:03,160
so much cheaper that I could buy a SAS HPA and the backup

2802
03:24:03,160 --> 03:24:07,160
and that would be all my storage that I needed because

2803
03:24:07,160 --> 03:24:11,160
I don't see that happening right now yeah that's not going to happen right now

2804
03:24:11,160 --> 03:24:14,160
but that would be the only way that you would get me to go SAS

2805
03:24:14,160 --> 03:24:19,160
if I was just buying new drives I would go SATA for sure every time

2806
03:24:19,160 --> 03:24:21,160
this is like

2807
03:24:22,160 --> 03:24:25,160
if you don't know why you need SAS you don't need it

2808
03:24:25,160 --> 03:24:29,160
so someone was talking early I don't remember why I had this thought

2809
03:24:29,160 --> 03:24:37,160
but somebody was talking earlier about like oh yeah like buying buying new stuff right now sucks but like the use markets always there

2810
03:24:37,160 --> 03:24:41,160
and the use market sucks right now yeah it does

2811
03:24:41,160 --> 03:24:46,160
use market is terrible right now great crystal still talking about the the Apple firmware update thing

2812
03:24:46,160 --> 03:24:50,160
she goes if you pay for an escort you shouldn't be the one doing the deep-throating basically

2813
03:24:51,160 --> 03:24:56,160
you are the customer

2814
03:24:56,160 --> 03:25:00,160
assert your rights well it kind of depends I guess

2815
03:25:00,160 --> 03:25:03,160
I mean if you're into it I'm not going to yuck your yum or whatever

2816
03:25:03,160 --> 03:25:05,160
some people might be into that with Apple

2817
03:25:07,160 --> 03:25:10,160
there are people that are into financial

2818
03:25:10,160 --> 03:25:14,160
yeah yeah financial abuse kink like what

2819
03:25:14,160 --> 03:25:17,160
no that's a thing what yeah what

2820
03:25:17,160 --> 03:25:20,160
yeah that's not like financial

2821
03:25:20,160 --> 03:25:25,160
no it is what yeah it's a thing shut up yeah people might be that way with Apple

2822
03:25:29,160 --> 03:25:31,160
yeah look at chat that's okay

2823
03:25:32,160 --> 03:25:36,160
finn dumb oh I thought you said them dumb no no no no no no

2824
03:25:36,160 --> 03:25:40,160
you can have both I think usually it is usually

2825
03:25:46,160 --> 03:25:48,160
pay pig

2826
03:25:58,160 --> 03:26:02,160
it involves a power dynamic where the sub

2827
03:26:02,160 --> 03:26:06,160
would need to willingly relinquishes financial control

2828
03:26:06,160 --> 03:26:09,160
often without any sexual contact

2829
03:26:09,160 --> 03:26:12,160
sometimes through online platforms

2830
03:26:16,160 --> 03:26:19,160
the sub

2831
03:26:19,160 --> 03:26:23,160
will often be insulted

2832
03:26:23,160 --> 03:26:27,160
using terms like tribute or draining

2833
03:26:31,160 --> 03:26:33,160
this is wild

2834
03:26:34,160 --> 03:26:36,160
so maybe people like that about Apple

2835
03:26:37,160 --> 03:26:40,160
so maybe people like that about Apple

2836
03:26:45,160 --> 03:26:50,160
Avon Fox's line is how are you so online and yet often so not why would I go looking for this

2837
03:26:50,160 --> 03:26:54,160
how how could I possibly come across I didn't go looking for this

2838
03:26:54,160 --> 03:26:58,160
he's already got a wife does all his taxes and handles all his money

2839
03:26:58,160 --> 03:27:02,160
you're gonna say are you sure to me you think I have all people would be into

2840
03:27:02,160 --> 03:27:04,160
something like that are you kidding me

2841
03:27:05,160 --> 03:27:07,160
here's all my money that you won't spend

2842
03:27:10,160 --> 03:27:14,160
I don't mean when looking for it to engage in it far away from me

2843
03:27:14,160 --> 03:27:18,160
I could see I could see you finding your way through a Wikipedia

2844
03:27:18,160 --> 03:27:22,160
wormhole of like weird kinks or something I could see it yeah sure

2845
03:27:22,160 --> 03:27:26,160
if you're looking at like a if you you know those like political spectrum grids

2846
03:27:26,160 --> 03:27:29,160
yeah if there's like my interests and this

2847
03:27:29,160 --> 03:27:31,160
we're like oh a hundred percent opposite

2848
03:27:32,160 --> 03:27:36,160
a hundred percent this is so bizarre to me like I could

2849
03:27:36,160 --> 03:27:40,160
like I think I don't get it I think I've had a pretty clear stance that

2850
03:27:40,160 --> 03:27:43,160
like sex work is work and I'm not like

2851
03:27:43,160 --> 03:27:47,160
as long as everyone's adult and consenting and whatever I think

2852
03:27:47,160 --> 03:27:51,160
you know sex acts I'm this is being paid to go shopping

2853
03:27:51,160 --> 03:27:54,160
whatever is also work whatever works

2854
03:27:54,160 --> 03:27:58,160
for your relationship keep the stuff okay whatever works for your relationship

2855
03:27:58,160 --> 03:28:02,160
you know what I'm not gonna I'm not gonna I'm not gonna judge

2856
03:28:02,160 --> 03:28:06,160
I keep my nose out of your business you keep your nose out of mine everything's good

2857
03:28:06,160 --> 03:28:10,160
everything's chill but this is f***ed up I'm gonna try to not yuck your yum

2858
03:28:10,160 --> 03:28:14,160
but I'm definitely gonna go hmm yeah okay let's

2859
03:28:14,160 --> 03:28:18,160
yeah like like I could I narrow my eyes

2860
03:28:18,160 --> 03:28:22,160
enough to express my I narrowness for this one

2861
03:28:22,160 --> 03:28:26,160
what are you doing like it's like it's like if you're gonna

2862
03:28:26,160 --> 03:28:30,160
if you're going to if you're gonna hire a sex worker

2863
03:28:30,160 --> 03:28:34,160
like it's right in the name in it yeah you're missing part

2864
03:28:34,160 --> 03:28:38,160
you might as well at least get laid

2865
03:28:38,160 --> 03:28:42,160
but then it would be a glucose guardian situation

2866
03:28:42,160 --> 03:28:46,160
what the hell's a glucose guardian gender neutral term for sugar daddy

2867
03:28:48,160 --> 03:28:52,160
shut up no

2868
03:28:52,160 --> 03:28:56,160
it's current it's current year

2869
03:28:56,160 --> 03:29:00,160
is that real did you just come up with that no no I did not

2870
03:29:00,160 --> 03:29:02,160
oh my god

2871
03:29:06,160 --> 03:29:10,160

2872
03:29:12,160 --> 03:29:16,160
oh man ohhh

2873
03:29:16,160 --> 03:29:18,160

2874
03:29:26,160 --> 03:29:30,160
hmm I mean

2875
03:29:30,160 --> 03:29:34,160
I'm gonna turn into a Minecraft villager

2876
03:29:34,160 --> 03:29:38,160
hmm hmm

2877
03:29:38,160 --> 03:29:42,160
alright I actually had a follow

2878
03:29:42,160 --> 03:29:46,160
up question about sastras sure yeah baby just get us

2879
03:29:46,160 --> 03:29:50,160
out of here I have a I have like

2880
03:29:50,160 --> 03:29:54,160
a bucket of sass interposers at home is that also

2881
03:29:54,160 --> 03:29:56,160
something that could be experimented with

2882
03:29:58,160 --> 03:30:02,160
this is you personally yeah me personally because I bought one of those facebook

2883
03:30:02,160 --> 03:30:06,160
servers I think or something like that so I got like what the hell

2884
03:30:06,160 --> 03:30:10,160
was it called I can't remember um those are those

2885
03:30:10,160 --> 03:30:14,160
they're port multipliers right it's something like that it

2886
03:30:14,160 --> 03:30:18,160
it kind of converts seida drives into sass drives and vice versa

2887
03:30:18,160 --> 03:30:22,160
oh it might only be one direction it might just be seida

2888
03:30:22,160 --> 03:30:26,160
two sass oh yeah that makes sense so that

little while so we're going to be simultaneously streaming on both channels

2907
03:31:40,160 --> 03:31:44,160
for some amount of time and then eventually

2908
03:31:44,160 --> 03:31:48,160
it's going to go LMG clips exclusive as we migrate it

2909
03:31:48,160 --> 03:31:52,160

2926
03:32:56,160 --> 03:33:00,160
the new ones are here I haven't installed them yet I will

2927
03:33:00,160 --> 03:33:04,160
but there's just a lot of stuff going on yes this is an adequate media thing David easy

2928
03:33:04,160 --> 03:33:08,160
we need to we need to get the show off of

2929
03:33:08,160 --> 03:33:12,160
an LMG owned channel and migrate a channel that's

2930
03:33:12,160 --> 03:33:16,160
like kind of worthless right now to um adequate media

2931
03:33:18,160 --> 03:33:22,160
merge message you mean pay pig post

2932
03:33:22,160 --> 03:33:26,160
send me your pps I don't think it can be because

2933
03:33:26,160 --> 03:33:30,160
you get the product yeah if if you bought it

2934
03:33:30,160 --> 03:33:34,160
and for some reason Linus got it then I think that would make sense

2935
03:33:34,160 --> 03:33:38,160
what if we just send them nothing yeah can they just can they just

2936
03:33:38,160 --> 03:33:42,160
like buy me screwdrivers is that like what do I have to do

2937
03:33:42,160 --> 03:33:46,160
I think nothing in this scenario you sure

2938
03:33:46,160 --> 03:33:50,160
I think you can do whatever you want I don't know though what if I want to do

2939
03:33:50,160 --> 03:33:54,160
really weird stuff with it then I think you probably
