WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.400
Hi there.

00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:20.760
Feeling cute, might delete later. It's an older meme, sir, but it checks out.

00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:25.920
How you guys doing?

00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:31.160
Happy Friday. You're so low and central right now.

00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:35.160
I'm central. Sensual. Sensual. Yeah.

00:00:35.160 --> 00:00:43.200
Always. Yeah. Whale Land coming up tomorrow.

00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:47.120
Good hockey game today. In pretty good mood.

00:00:47.120 --> 00:00:50.360
I actually thought I curbed my car right after the hockey game.

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

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.

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

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.

00:01:11.320 --> 00:01:14.800
The game had just wrapped up.

00:01:14.800 --> 00:01:19.520
We watched on the big LED wall.

00:01:19.520 --> 00:01:23.720
It's big, maybe too big, especially for the quality of the CBC stream.

00:01:23.720 --> 00:01:30.760
It's not good. Like Flo Plain CBC.

00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.240
Have you watched Flo Plain videos on it? On CBC?

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

00:01:39.360 --> 00:01:42.360
right now. Yeah. But it's hot ass.

00:01:42.360 --> 00:01:45.360
Fun to check out. Like shockingly bad. Yeah.

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.

00:01:50.520 --> 00:01:53.520
This is true. This is fair. Yeah.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:33.960
Yeah. I think it was we go V. Sure.

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.

00:02:43.320 --> 00:02:46.680
So I don't have a ton of exposure to like the obesity epidemic.

00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:52.400
It's massive. Daily. It's double the percentage of all Americans are on it.

00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:55.720
Really? That's what I last heard.

00:02:55.720 --> 00:03:01.240
And like my understanding is they like lose a lot of weight on it, right?

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.

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

00:03:12.640 --> 00:03:16.160
ones. So that's not one of the brands. It's like a category.

00:03:16.160 --> 00:03:20.160
That's crazy. Whoa.

00:03:20.160 --> 00:03:23.160
Nearly 12.

00:03:23.160 --> 00:03:28.160
Whoa. All right. One in eight.

00:03:28.160 --> 00:03:45.160
Hiobez says obesity, oh no, Crystal Fierre says obesity is a bullshit diagnosis.

00:03:46.160 --> 00:03:49.160
Um, no.

00:03:49.160 --> 00:03:52.160
What does that mean?

00:03:52.160 --> 00:03:55.160
I don't know, but it's not correct.

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

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

00:04:09.160 --> 00:04:13.160
clear. Whoa. There's no debate left about that.

00:04:13.160 --> 00:04:17.160
Like being very, very overweight has very negative health implications.

00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:20.160
That's not really like a conversation. Yeah.

00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:25.160
The other guy said I lost 60 pounds with minimum to no change in activity level.

00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:28.160
Really? Wow. That's nuts.

00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:31.160
But wait, like what is it though?

00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:37.660
Like is it, um, I don't know.

00:04:37.660 --> 00:04:42.660
What does GLP-1 do?

00:04:42.660 --> 00:04:48.660
Regulates blood sugar and appetite by stimulating insulin release, suppressing glucagon, delaying

00:04:48.660 --> 00:04:51.660
stomach emptying, and increasing satiety.

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?

00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:03.660
I guess. Yeah, there's some. That would naturally reduce your appetite as well.

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

00:05:10.660 --> 00:05:14.660
made a different version of, was it glucagon?

00:05:14.660 --> 00:05:20.660
Glucagon, um, which makes it last for much longer in the body.

00:05:20.660 --> 00:05:24.660
Right. GLP-1 is glucagon like peptide 1.

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

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.

00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:41.160
Crystal says, it is when they use your BMI. Yeah.

00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:44.160
BMI is bullshit. Yeah. No question.

00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.660
Yeah. Like I think, I think my BMI is that I'm obese. Probably.

00:05:47.660 --> 00:05:50.660
Hold on. BMI calculator. BMI is just, it's so outdated.

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.

00:05:56.660 --> 00:06:01.660
BMI calculator for men, body mass index, diabetes, Canada.

00:06:02.660 --> 00:06:05.660
Okay. Weight. Shoot.

00:06:05.660 --> 00:06:10.660
I think I'm like 167 right now, 166, something like that.

00:06:10.660 --> 00:06:13.660
Okay. Height, five, six.

00:06:13.660 --> 00:06:16.660
BMI. Here we go, boys.

00:06:19.660 --> 00:06:20.660
Calculate.

00:06:22.660 --> 00:06:25.660
This is considered overweight. Yeah.

00:06:25.660 --> 00:06:28.660
So you overweight bitch.

00:06:28.660 --> 00:06:32.660
Yeah. Looks overweight to me.

00:06:34.660 --> 00:06:37.660
All right. That's all elsewhere.

00:06:40.660 --> 00:06:42.660
Just got a huge dumpy.

00:06:47.660 --> 00:06:49.660
Just massive dumpy.

00:06:50.660 --> 00:06:55.660
I do a whanty from a hard stool.

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.

00:07:00.660 --> 00:07:02.660
I'm sitting on the floor.

00:07:06.660 --> 00:07:07.660
Oh man.

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.

00:07:14.660 --> 00:07:16.660
I've lost 40 kilos.

00:07:17.660 --> 00:07:20.660
Whoa. That is, that's like what?

00:07:20.660 --> 00:07:24.660
85 pounds. Somewhere around there. In seven months.

00:07:24.660 --> 00:07:27.660
Holy. That's like six dumps. That's crazy.

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.

00:07:34.660 --> 00:07:38.660
And apparently PS, BMI is still used by health professionals in the UK NHS.

00:07:38.660 --> 00:07:44.660
That's sad. BMI has been outdated for so friggin long.

00:07:45.660 --> 00:07:48.660
Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.

00:07:52.660 --> 00:07:54.660
I'm still worried about side effect stuff.

00:08:01.660 --> 00:08:05.660
Most measurements are now waste body fat or water displacement.

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.

00:08:13.660 --> 00:08:19.660
Actually, probably true. They have like little caliper things that measure with a pinch test.

00:08:19.660 --> 00:08:24.660
Yeah, there's dexa scans and stuff like that as well, but yeah.

00:08:24.660 --> 00:08:28.660
Ultimately, you can't fully tell unless you do an autopsy.

00:08:29.660 --> 00:08:33.660
How much fat you have? Really? Yeah.

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?

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.

00:08:43.660 --> 00:08:46.660
Really? Yeah. All right.

00:08:46.660 --> 00:08:48.660
Is that covered by an MSP?

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.

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.

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.

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.

00:09:19.660 --> 00:09:21.660
Are there side effects from an autopsy?

00:09:23.660 --> 00:09:24.660
Technically, no.

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.

00:09:34.660 --> 00:09:38.660
Panda says, y'all have to say sincere thank you.

00:09:38.660 --> 00:09:41.660
Didn't realize my card had expired and it canceled my subscription.

00:09:41.660 --> 00:09:44.660
You didn't make me pay the new rate when I signed up again.

00:09:45.660 --> 00:09:49.660
We got you. Got you, homie. We got you.

00:09:52.660 --> 00:09:54.660
All right. Should we do this thing?

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.

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.

00:10:09.660 --> 00:10:10.660
I mean,

00:10:17.660 --> 00:10:19.660
I mean, I've got this. I'm a computer doctor.

00:10:22.660 --> 00:10:24.660
You were temporarily a computer doctor.

00:10:27.660 --> 00:10:37.660
I'm not proud to have passed the A plus exam,

00:10:37.660 --> 00:10:41.660
but I am proud to have challenged it without studying at all.

00:10:42.660 --> 00:10:45.660
Especially because so much of it is just like... There's some crap questions.

00:10:45.660 --> 00:10:47.660
Random BS? Yeah.

00:10:52.660 --> 00:10:56.660
How many LTX hoodies did you have left over or are more being produced?

00:10:56.660 --> 00:11:00.660
Really good question. A lot and no more not being produced.

00:11:00.660 --> 00:11:04.660
This is it. This is the last shot.

00:11:05.660 --> 00:11:06.660
It's felt infinite.

00:11:09.660 --> 00:11:12.660
I was planning on asking you on the show,

00:11:12.660 --> 00:11:15.660
how many of these freaking things do we have? Luke, I have...

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.

00:11:18.660 --> 00:11:22.660
I have felt the infiniteness more strongly than you have,

00:11:22.660 --> 00:11:27.660
I assure you. We are still cleaning up inventory mistakes

00:11:27.660 --> 00:11:30.660
from years ago sometimes.

00:11:32.660 --> 00:11:35.660
The confusing thing to me is like, how many more of these sweaters did we have

00:11:35.660 --> 00:11:39.660
than attendees to the event? Because we must have...

00:11:40.660 --> 00:11:42.660
That math must be off.

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

00:11:50.660 --> 00:11:52.660
because of minimum order quantities because it was specially dyed.

00:11:53.660 --> 00:11:56.660
This is not an off the shelf garment. This is our fabric.

00:11:56.660 --> 00:12:00.660
This is our dye pattern. And then the major issue

00:12:00.660 --> 00:12:04.660
was that we did the first run of printing

00:12:04.660 --> 00:12:06.660
for the LTX logo when it was crooked.

00:12:10.660 --> 00:12:14.660
I believe what's under this cat patch

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.

00:12:20.660 --> 00:12:24.660
It was a whole thing. And I'm hazy on the details at this point.

00:12:24.660 --> 00:12:27.660
It's also fun and cool and I'm not against it.

00:12:27.660 --> 00:12:30.660
It's a cool hoodie. I think we could have just called it the error hoodie

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

00:12:34.660 --> 00:12:37.660
that people didn't go to LTX to get.

00:12:41.660 --> 00:12:44.660
You don't sell the concert t-shirt to people

00:12:44.660 --> 00:12:47.660
who didn't go to the concert. It just doesn't work that way.

00:12:47.660 --> 00:12:51.660
Because otherwise it devalues

00:12:51.660 --> 00:12:54.660
the ones that people made the journey to go and get.

00:12:54.660 --> 00:12:57.660
That's true. They're especially cool when you get them from there.

00:12:57.660 --> 00:13:01.660
But we would never just put them in a dumpster.

00:13:01.660 --> 00:13:05.660
So we had to find a third path.

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

00:13:09.660 --> 00:13:12.660
or they would just destroy it, put ink all over it or whatever.

00:13:12.660 --> 00:13:16.660
That's the standard clothing industry way.

00:13:18.660 --> 00:13:22.660
All right.

00:13:22.660 --> 00:13:25.660
We sold LTX, LTX merch to virtual visitors.

00:13:25.660 --> 00:13:28.660
Yes, we did. But we're not going to do it now

00:13:28.660 --> 00:13:31.660
because clearly that didn't happen.

00:13:33.660 --> 00:13:37.660
Wait, did I say merch? You know what? I would make the argument this was merch.

00:13:37.660 --> 00:13:41.660
And LTX hoodie would be merch. I'll allow it.

00:13:43.660 --> 00:13:46.660
I don't think based on your arguments that makes any sense.

00:13:46.660 --> 00:13:49.660
Why not? Because it's our standard garment.

00:13:49.660 --> 00:13:52.660
So it's of the quality that we typically try to push.

00:13:52.660 --> 00:13:55.660
Yeah, but I think it was more expensive. Was it?

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

00:14:00.660 --> 00:14:06.660
or supporting an artist or brand than it is about purely quality of the garment.

00:14:12.660 --> 00:14:15.660
Hockey on the video wall was questionable. Really big.

00:14:17.660 --> 00:14:19.660
Did you watch it there again?

00:14:20.660 --> 00:14:23.660
I watched about half of the women's game.

00:14:23.660 --> 00:14:26.660
I watched, yeah, I watched this morning.

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

00:14:30.660 --> 00:14:34.660
and then I watched the finals for women's. And sorry, winners were...

00:14:34.660 --> 00:14:38.660
6'10". Be there or be square.

00:14:41.660 --> 00:14:51.660
Definitely not swag, Anglis. So swag has become a word that means like concert merchandise,

00:14:51.660 --> 00:14:54.660
but it's short for stuff we all get.

00:14:54.660 --> 00:14:59.660
It's supposed to be free stuff, like promotional t-shirts and stuff.

00:14:59.660 --> 00:15:03.660
So swag has just... It's one of those words like scam

00:15:03.660 --> 00:15:06.660
that has completely lost its original meaning

00:15:06.660 --> 00:15:09.660
and now just is a synonym for another word.

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.

00:15:17.660 --> 00:15:19.660
This is going to be a good show.

00:15:21.660 --> 00:15:24.660
Torpedo bench. Oh my God, swag was an acronym.

00:15:24.660 --> 00:15:28.660
Yes. Luke, are you still super into swag at cons and expos?

00:15:28.660 --> 00:15:32.660
I would be. Yeah, if there was any. There isn't any anymore.

00:15:32.660 --> 00:15:36.660
Yeah, like where would you even go to get free stuff? No idea.

00:15:36.660 --> 00:15:40.660
It's dead everywhere. I'm not bringing LTX back.

00:15:40.660 --> 00:15:43.660
I don't know where you're going with this.

00:15:43.660 --> 00:15:46.660
Good try though. I might want to save this for the show. Preempted so early.

00:15:46.660 --> 00:15:53.660
I went to a con and it made me so pissed off

00:15:53.660 --> 00:15:57.660
because of how much better LTX was ran.

00:15:57.660 --> 00:16:01.660
Like it's not even sort of close.

00:16:01.660 --> 00:16:04.660
It was insane. Yeah.

00:16:04.660 --> 00:16:08.660
Like you could maybe sell event organization at this point.

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

00:16:14.660 --> 00:16:17.660
because you have employees.

00:16:17.660 --> 00:16:22.660
Yeah, but those employees could do literally anything else.

00:16:22.660 --> 00:16:25.660
They'd probably be happier.

00:16:25.660 --> 00:16:28.660
People were so miserable about it.

00:16:28.660 --> 00:16:31.660
Employee happiness does not make money line go up.

00:16:31.660 --> 00:16:34.660
No, it really doesn't. But LTX doesn't make money line go up either.

00:16:34.660 --> 00:16:36.660
Don't worry about that part.

00:16:38.660 --> 00:16:41.660
Ignore that part. Yeah.

00:16:41.660 --> 00:16:45.660
Don't worry about that.

00:16:45.660 --> 00:16:48.660
Swag was used in Australia in the 1800s

00:16:48.660 --> 00:16:53.660
and apparently meant sleeping bag. But do we all get one for free because...

00:16:53.660 --> 00:16:58.660
That would be fine. That would be fine. Any thoughts on the Discord persona hack?

00:16:58.660 --> 00:17:01.660
Wait, what? Did it already happen?

00:17:01.660 --> 00:17:06.660
No, is that the older one? Two hours ago.

00:17:06.660 --> 00:17:09.660
Hackers exposed Discord age verification system issue

00:17:09.660 --> 00:17:12.660
after persona front-end code left wide open.

00:17:12.660 --> 00:17:15.660
Two hours ago.

00:17:15.660 --> 00:17:19.660
No, I don't have particular thoughts on that other than,

00:17:19.660 --> 00:17:22.660
good job.

00:17:22.660 --> 00:17:25.660
I wish I could shake your hand.

00:17:25.660 --> 00:17:29.660
I really do. Fantastic work.

00:17:29.660 --> 00:17:32.660
Oh, you're a legend. Actually, hold on.

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?

00:17:38.660 --> 00:17:44.660
Gone. Um...

00:17:44.660 --> 00:17:51.660
Ooh.

00:17:51.660 --> 00:17:55.660
I feel like it was hack to prove a point. Yeah.

00:17:55.660 --> 00:17:58.660
For sure. Yeah.

00:17:58.660 --> 00:18:03.660
Definitely. To be fair, a lot of things are.

00:18:03.660 --> 00:18:07.660
But yeah, I think this one, definitely.

00:18:07.660 --> 00:18:11.660
Xbox thing. What's the current one? The resolution thing?

00:18:11.660 --> 00:18:14.660
Yeah. Gamers overwhelmingly prefer fake resolution.

00:18:14.660 --> 00:18:17.660
Versus...

00:18:17.660 --> 00:18:20.660
Xbox more like Xbox.

00:18:20.660 --> 00:18:25.660
Phil Spencer, no longer Phil's...

00:18:25.660 --> 00:18:31.660
Phil's for unemployment? Phil's for unemployment dance.

00:18:31.660 --> 00:18:40.660
Savage.

00:18:40.660 --> 00:18:43.660
Are we happy with this or no? With what?

00:18:43.660 --> 00:18:47.660
The Phil Spencer thing. I feel like that's a topic for the show.

00:18:47.660 --> 00:18:50.660
Yeah, probably. You know what? Let's just run with it.

00:18:50.660 --> 00:18:53.660
Let's go for it. Let's do this thing. With resolution?

00:18:53.660 --> 00:18:56.660
Yeah. All right. All right, let's do it.

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.

00:19:00.660 --> 00:19:04.660
Okay.

00:19:04.660 --> 00:19:10.660
By the way, when are we going to start simultaneously streaming on the other channel?

00:19:10.660 --> 00:19:13.660
I do not know. Should we just do it?

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?

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.

00:19:20.660 --> 00:19:24.660
And then just put it in the... Well, he wouldn't, I guess.

00:19:24.660 --> 00:19:27.660
We just have to put it in the panel. I can do that.

00:19:27.660 --> 00:19:30.660
Or you could. I have access to that now.

00:19:30.660 --> 00:19:34.660
And we decided we're going to do it on here? Sure.

00:19:34.660 --> 00:19:41.660
We might want to like...

00:19:41.660 --> 00:19:45.660
I mean, yeah.

00:19:45.660 --> 00:19:49.660
What could go wrong? What could go wrong? I feel like it makes sense.

00:19:49.660 --> 00:19:53.660
A lot of sense. But we might want to change the channel name at some point.

00:19:53.660 --> 00:19:56.660
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay.

00:19:56.660 --> 00:19:59.660
We have a bunch of stuff. Okay.

00:19:59.660 --> 00:20:03.660
Are we both filling in the same thing? Review and accept.

00:20:03.660 --> 00:20:06.660
Terms and conditions for going live? Yeah.

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.

00:20:09.660 --> 00:20:12.660
So you're going to have to do that.

00:20:12.660 --> 00:20:18.660
Nokia, other channel. Does this mean I'm working twice now? Well, you could copy-paste.

00:20:18.660 --> 00:20:25.660
Just an idea. I wouldn't recommend redoing the whole thing.

00:20:26.660 --> 00:20:32.660
You know, don't work harder.

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?

00:20:38.660 --> 00:20:41.660
Nothing. For sure nothing.

00:20:41.660 --> 00:20:45.660
I guarantee you, literally nothing at all.

00:20:45.660 --> 00:20:51.660
And what are my thoughts on it? Dang.

00:20:51.660 --> 00:20:54.660
That sucks. Yeah. I saw it.

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.

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.

00:21:01.160 --> 00:21:05.660
It's like we're not even in the same.

00:21:05.660 --> 00:21:08.660
I don't even know if I'm a grain of sand on their beach.

00:21:08.660 --> 00:21:16.660
You know, I think you could be a piece of like dog on their shoe.

00:21:16.660 --> 00:21:19.660
I think it's too substantial. They'd care too much.

00:21:19.660 --> 00:21:22.660
No, that doesn't work. You'd be upset about it.

00:21:22.660 --> 00:21:26.660
It would be big and important enough to be upset about.

00:21:26.660 --> 00:21:29.660
It was just, it's not true. Okay.

00:21:29.660 --> 00:21:33.660
You could be, you could be a piece of dog on Mars.

00:21:33.660 --> 00:21:36.660
There we go.

00:21:36.660 --> 00:21:39.660
That works. Hmm.

00:21:39.660 --> 00:21:44.660
Interesting. Actually, anyway, that's too interesting because then some rover is going to find

00:21:44.660 --> 00:21:48.660
it and they're going to be like what? And then Google would care.

00:21:48.660 --> 00:21:51.660
No, a rover would find it and go.

00:21:52.660 --> 00:21:55.660
Come on. That's pretty fun.

00:21:55.660 --> 00:22:01.660
I have to say the, the, the, the like physical animation of your face and the

00:22:01.660 --> 00:22:06.660
sniffing noises was like way too good.

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

00:22:13.660 --> 00:22:19.660
point, but this is going to sound a lot weirder, especially in the context of, you

00:22:19.660 --> 00:22:23.660
know, Joe Biden smelling kids or whatever, you know, whatever that all was.

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

00:22:29.660 --> 00:22:32.660
like, like, like dog sniff, they can't help it.

00:22:32.660 --> 00:22:35.660
It'd be funny. They just, they lose it. Of course it would be funny.

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

00:22:38.660 --> 00:22:42.660
whatever that you like to kind of play around in rough house with, try the dog

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

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

00:22:53.660 --> 00:22:56.660
too, especially if you have like a beard.

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

00:23:03.660 --> 00:23:07.660
something in my ear, like I could probably suffer hearing damage, how loud she'll be

00:23:07.660 --> 00:23:10.660
like laughing and screaming.

00:23:10.660 --> 00:23:16.660
Glow says my partner does this to me, can confirm it works.

00:23:16.660 --> 00:23:19.660
My kids would probably go to WTF dad, but they're teens.

00:23:19.660 --> 00:23:24.660
Yeah. I mean, yeah, that's probably a little, well, it might work all the better.

00:23:24.660 --> 00:23:32.660
What the heck?

00:23:32.660 --> 00:23:35.660
Children's humor. I keep clicking it. Accept it.

00:23:35.660 --> 00:23:40.660
It won't. I meant the, the, the audience has, has not really decided.

00:23:40.660 --> 00:23:44.660
I'll get comments that people love my laugh and I'll get comments.

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

00:23:49.660 --> 00:23:53.660
I maintain. I just prefer to be a jovial person.

00:23:53.660 --> 00:23:57.660
And if something's funny, I'll laugh at it. I don't see any sophistication.

00:23:57.660 --> 00:24:02.660
I don't see any sophistication in, in not laughing at things that are funny.

00:24:02.660 --> 00:24:07.660
So I just don't care. Celebrities who refuse to be photographed smiling drive me.

00:24:07.660 --> 00:24:10.660
Yeah. It's like, you know, it's just lame.

00:24:10.660 --> 00:24:16.660
Yeah. Like whatever dude. And the whole thing where models, what did you just say?

00:24:16.660 --> 00:24:19.660
Did you say kill yourself? No.

00:24:19.660 --> 00:24:24.660
I said get over yourself. Oh my God. Sick Luke is just.

00:24:24.660 --> 00:24:27.660
Wow. See, it's funny. I'm going to laugh.

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.

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.

00:24:35.660 --> 00:24:38.660
Did you hear that? No. I heard.

00:24:38.660 --> 00:24:41.660
I heard what you thought you said. Yeah. I think this is you.

00:24:41.660 --> 00:24:44.660
All right. All right. Oh man.

00:24:44.660 --> 00:24:47.660
Giggle maxing. Yeah. There you go.

00:24:47.660 --> 00:24:50.660
To instead of saying. Yeah. Yeah.

00:24:50.660 --> 00:24:53.660
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

00:24:53.660 --> 00:24:56.660
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

00:24:56.660 --> 00:24:59.660
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

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.

00:25:05.660 --> 00:25:10.660
All right. All right. I'm a little bit like your hope posting bro.

00:25:10.660 --> 00:25:14.340
Hope posting. All right. It seems like it's pretty split.

00:25:14.340 --> 00:25:17.660
Most people heard what you said, but some heard what I said, what I heard.

00:25:17.660 --> 00:25:21.160
I think people heard what you heard because you said it. You think so?

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.

00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:30.660
All right. Now that was a goodverage. All right.

00:25:30.660 --> 00:25:34.160
Elliott JD says is the background to do with Chinese New Year?

00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:38.140
No, no, it's Valentines Day. Okay.

00:25:38.140 --> 00:25:41.660
Belated. I'm.

00:25:41.660 --> 00:25:45.020
I'm good.

00:25:45.020 --> 00:25:48.880
I'm sure. Yeah.

00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:52.160
Yeah. Exactly. Sounds good.

00:25:52.160 --> 00:26:04.440
to do this thing. Is it black history month? I can never keep

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,

00:26:12.040 --> 00:26:20.640
okay. There you go. Yeah, sure. That's what we were going for. Yeah, definitely.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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.

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

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

00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:14.600
transition for this. Google suddenly carries about IP theft. What an applies to them, I guess.

00:28:15.800 --> 00:28:16.640
And no one else.

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

00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:47.200
more times? Thoram? Thoram? Also our rap partner, Dbrand, our laptop partner, Razor, and our chair

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

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.

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.

00:29:11.600 --> 00:29:19.520
Speaking of removals. Yeah. Big changes at Xbox. Yeah. After nearly 40 years with Microsoft,

00:29:19.520 --> 00:29:26.160
including 12 years leading the company's gaming efforts, Xbox chief Phil Spencer is retiring.

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

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

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

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,

00:29:54.160 --> 00:30:00.240
really not good. Unfortunately, mostly really bad. Well, especially if we factor in like the

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.

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

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

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.

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

00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:35.760
for his extraordinary leadership and partnership. Phil Spencer will remain in an advisory role

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

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

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

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

00:30:58.480 --> 00:31:05.680
ever. And their 75 billion dollar acquisition of Activision Blizzard in 2023. Xbox president

00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:11.120
Sarah Bond is also leaving the software giant to begin a new chapter, according to Spencer.

00:31:11.360 --> 00:31:21.200
Asha Sharma, current president of the core AI product, will be taking over as CEO of

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

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

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

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

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

00:31:59.760 --> 00:32:08.240
leading such a large division of Microsoft. Okay, the memo. Okay, just calm down, calm down.

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.

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.

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

00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:45.920
commitment to Xbox, starting with console, which has shaped who we are. I assume the console.

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

00:32:52.240 --> 00:33:00.720
ambitious experiences for it. Microsoft's video game revenue dropped by about 10%

00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:04.880
year to year in the December quarter compared to a 17% increase company wide,

00:33:04.880 --> 00:33:08.800
but it doesn't appear that Sharma will be pushing for a short-term fix stating,

00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:17.680
as monetization and AI evolve and influence this future, we will not chase short-term efficiency

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

00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:30.080
and created with the most innovative technology provided by us.

00:33:31.600 --> 00:33:36.160
Matt booty, previously head of Microsoft's gaming studios has been promoted to executive

00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:40.960
vice president and chief content officer under Sharma. So

00:33:41.200 --> 00:33:50.480
huge AI background. I always liked that Phil Spencer was legitimately a gamer.

00:33:51.520 --> 00:33:56.480
Yeah, I thought it was good. While I did think there was a lot of missteps,

00:33:57.600 --> 00:34:02.480
the naming of the consoles was actually so insanely bad that I think it genuinely

00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:08.640
significantly negatively impacted sales. And the brand, it just makes you look like

00:34:08.720 --> 00:34:14.560
incompetent dunderheads. Yeah. And like we knew this from Wii U when like a massive percentage

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

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,

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

00:34:29.360 --> 00:34:36.800
within the same company, when it's so clear by the overwhelming incredible success of simply

00:34:36.800 --> 00:34:42.560
named products that are easy to understand their positioning within the product stack, see

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

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

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

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,

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

00:35:15.680 --> 00:35:22.240
with just the most bass-acquards naming scheme that I think probably exists in technology.

00:35:22.240 --> 00:35:28.160
And then even Apple themselves, where you have this completely indecipherable iPad naming scheme,

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,

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.

00:35:43.520 --> 00:35:48.880
And yeah, sorry, I hijacked your point. So there's been missteps right now.

00:35:48.880 --> 00:35:52.320
There's been a considerable amount of missteps, but at the same time,

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

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.

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

00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:17.520
while there were missteps, he was probably trying to steer in the right direction.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

00:37:00.160 --> 00:37:05.440
exactly what they expected. And I think their franchises didn't do what they expected.

00:37:06.400 --> 00:37:11.360
That's fair. I think they thought. See Starfield. Starfield.

00:37:13.520 --> 00:37:18.720
Like I looked into what game released the year Phil Spencer took over.

00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:22.560
It was Master Chief Collection. So it's like, okay, that's not really fair.

00:37:22.560 --> 00:37:28.160
Terrible, horrible, legendarily bad launch. But same year he joined. I don't know.

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.

00:37:35.600 --> 00:37:41.520
But I had to do a controller review of like the first elite controller, I think.

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

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

00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:58.640
controller. And I remember finishing that campaign and just being like, oh,

00:37:59.360 --> 00:38:03.280
as like a massive fan of the first three games.

00:38:04.560 --> 00:38:08.160
Halo died because Bungie left, not Phil Spencer, IMO. Sure.

00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:13.600
If you look back at the history of what happened there,

00:38:14.560 --> 00:38:18.000
they hired people that didn't like Halo intentionally.

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

00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:28.400
what happened to Star Wars. It's almost exactly like what happened to Star Wars,

00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:32.000
because Star Wars did the same thing. They intentionally hired people that did not like

00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:35.600
the franchise. They did that because they're like, we're trying to make something different.

00:38:35.600 --> 00:38:39.760
That doesn't, you can make something different while hiring people that like the franchise.

00:38:41.520 --> 00:38:47.760
Here's my worry here. So I mean, Phil Spencer's legacy is absolutely complicated.

00:38:47.760 --> 00:38:53.600
Very complicated. He oversaw incredible innovation. I mean, like let's not overlook some of the

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

00:38:58.320 --> 00:39:04.560
technology for gaming. Like genuinely really amazing controllers. I mean, I cannot sing

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

00:39:12.240 --> 00:39:17.920
physical disabilities and other challenges. And they really pushed the envelope in a way that

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,

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

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

00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:41.920
to make gaming for everyone. And I just, I thought that was so incredibly cool.

00:39:41.920 --> 00:39:46.320
So based. I don't want to take anything away.

00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:49.920
And that cost a lot of money. Oh, real money, actual real money.

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

00:39:58.720 --> 00:40:02.320
franchises. They closed studios that made amazing games.

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.

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,

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.

00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:25.600
Really? I'm not 100% confident that I could.

00:40:25.600 --> 00:40:28.960
I mean, that's not that's not that hard. You've got Xbox.

00:40:28.960 --> 00:40:32.320
Yeah. Xbox 360. Yeah. Xbox one.

00:40:32.320 --> 00:40:35.440
Okay. Okay. And then what? Xbox one X.

00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:39.680
Is that true? And Xbox one S. Okay. Yeah. And then is it serious?

00:40:39.680 --> 00:40:43.120
And then you've got Xbox series S and series S.

00:40:43.120 --> 00:40:46.560
Yeah. Okay. I think, did I get them all?

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

00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:56.000
that in order if that was correct. Yeah. Like it's comically stupid, but I mean,

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

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.

00:41:14.000 --> 00:41:18.720
Yeah. I don't love non-gaming people being in charge of gaming.

00:41:18.720 --> 00:41:22.960
And I'm not saying there's no chance. I'm just concerned.

00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:26.400
Well, it's extremely concerning. I do really appreciate that one line.

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.

00:41:34.080 --> 00:41:37.600
Okay. They probably got some PR thing that was like, hey, you need to say this.

00:41:37.600 --> 00:41:42.560
But hear me out. In that same sentence, right in that same sentence.

00:41:42.560 --> 00:41:45.840
As monetization and AI evolve and influence this future. No, no, no, no, hold on.

00:41:45.840 --> 00:41:50.880
This, no, no, just this sentence. Games aren't always will be art crafted by humans.

00:41:50.880 --> 00:41:53.680
Okay. Doing really good here.

00:41:56.160 --> 00:42:01.520
And created with the most innovative technology provided by us.

00:42:03.360 --> 00:42:05.920
What innovative technology?

00:42:08.160 --> 00:42:09.120
Okay. Hear me out.

00:42:13.440 --> 00:42:17.440
You know, I've noticed a problem.

00:42:18.400 --> 00:42:23.760
I like watching a bunch of YouTube and I that one's for the millennials.

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.

00:42:31.200 --> 00:42:36.000
Yeah. Have started a lot of AI slop showing up.

00:42:37.360 --> 00:42:39.840
AI generated picture slideshows with an AI voice.

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

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.

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

00:43:01.200 --> 00:43:05.680
and you get 10 trillion responses because it's like part of different words and stuff.

00:43:06.400 --> 00:43:09.840
It's, I feel like it's convenient that it's just AI.

00:43:11.920 --> 00:43:19.520
I ended up on Tech Talk, Tech Talk Tech for the first time in several years

00:43:19.520 --> 00:43:23.360
because we're doing another trying Tech Talk hacks. Like you saw it?

00:43:24.640 --> 00:43:28.000
Like I saw Tech Talks. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

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?

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.

00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:43.360
And so Adam curated a bunch of like

00:43:45.600 --> 00:43:54.560
shockingly large popular creators, shockingly popular pieces of content

00:43:55.200 --> 00:44:02.000
that are just either AI slop with like tens of thousands of hearts.

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

00:44:13.600 --> 00:44:18.640
as an agent, as a human agent for their AI puppet master,

00:44:20.160 --> 00:44:25.120
regurgitating AI garbage that is stuff that no one should do.

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

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.

00:44:42.480 --> 00:44:45.840
Yeah. Where somebody was like, is this true?

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.

00:44:51.040 --> 00:44:53.600
Sure. Yeah, sorry. I don't, I don't read it that often.

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,

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,

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.

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?

00:45:19.600 --> 00:45:24.000
I don't remember what it was. But it was like very clearly AI generated junk.

00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:27.760
It was not true. And the comments like roasted him for it.

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.

00:45:36.400 --> 00:45:39.200
No, he did the right thing to ask.

00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:44.560
Yeah. This is the worst memory recollection of all time.

00:45:44.560 --> 00:45:47.760
Oh, you have, you ain't seen nothing. This man can, this man.

00:45:47.760 --> 00:45:50.640
Tell me what happened then. Tell me what happened, huh?

00:45:54.480 --> 00:45:55.840
We should get it. Doesn't remember.

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.

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

00:46:09.200 --> 00:46:12.320
seeking truth in a sea of AI slop.

00:46:12.320 --> 00:46:15.680
So let's all, let's all form an alliance.

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

00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:26.320
and with compassion.

00:46:26.320 --> 00:46:31.040
Okay. Cool. Good chat. Why don't we jump into another topic?

00:46:31.040 --> 00:46:34.400
We, are we done with this one? The conclusion is basically just.

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.

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

00:46:45.520 --> 00:46:48.320
think there's, it's a guarantee that they'll do a bad job. Yeah.

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

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

00:47:01.920 --> 00:47:09.520
backing and creating an environment that gives them the resources to, to create quality products.

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?

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

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

00:47:25.440 --> 00:47:30.800
office and, and addresses the little details that I would overlook because that's my background.

00:47:30.800 --> 00:47:35.120
But Phil being a gamer theoretically helps him understand what our customers want.

00:47:35.120 --> 00:47:40.960
You being dialed in with the audience helps you understand what our customers want.

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

00:47:48.240 --> 00:47:51.760
makes me question if she's dialed into that audience.

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.

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?

00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:09.040
It doesn't feel like it. Like everyone games now, would it have been that hard?

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

00:48:12.880 --> 00:48:15.840
area in Microsoft. Is that just seems to be the path now?

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

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.

00:48:30.720 --> 00:48:35.200
And you know, maybe this is a pattern recognizing when there is no pattern, but

00:48:36.720 --> 00:48:39.280
I mean, it seems kind of like a pattern. Seems likely.

00:48:40.160 --> 00:48:44.240
All right. Let's jump right into our next topic here. A sponsor read.

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.

00:48:47.840 --> 00:48:50.960
Down, down, down, down to the sponsor reads.

00:48:50.960 --> 00:48:56.240
All right. The show. Oh, no way.

00:48:56.240 --> 00:48:59.840
Oh wait. Yeah. No, never mind. Okay. Which one? Oh, okay.

00:48:59.840 --> 00:49:05.840
In 2012, husband and wife Caleb and Steph Martin started a business based on Caleb's

00:49:05.840 --> 00:49:12.080
passion for making custom rings. And today that legacy lives on as Thoram.

00:49:12.720 --> 00:49:18.960
They handcraft wedding bands from materials like meteorite, whiskey barrel, dinosaur bone,

00:49:18.960 --> 00:49:25.280
and more. And Thoram has recently started to make minimalist watches as well with Hawaiian

00:49:25.280 --> 00:49:27.600
coa wood and California redwood.

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

00:49:34.960 --> 00:49:40.240
pop the question. And they have over 10,000 five star reviews.

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,

00:49:46.880 --> 00:49:49.840
head over to Thoram.com and use code WAN.

00:49:50.720 --> 00:49:53.040
Speaking of rings, what is happening right now?

00:49:53.760 --> 00:49:55.760
Does anyone hear that sound?

00:50:01.680 --> 00:50:04.720
What is, what is going on? What is happening?

00:50:05.360 --> 00:50:09.200
What is happening right now? Something's happening. I was just handed a thing.

00:50:09.200 --> 00:50:15.760
This is a Thoram box. This is, this is extremely confusing to me right now.

00:50:16.800 --> 00:50:18.000
I see DMS is here.

00:50:20.720 --> 00:50:23.440
What do you think is happening right now? I think you're getting married.

00:50:24.400 --> 00:50:26.640
You were such an observant person.

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.

00:50:37.120 --> 00:50:40.640
Okay. This has never happened on windshield before.

00:50:40.640 --> 00:50:43.040
Nobody told me I'm so underdressed.

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.

00:50:49.840 --> 00:50:51.440
You guys are going back. Okay.

00:50:54.080 --> 00:50:57.440
Oh, she's pretty critical to the process. Yeah, okay. Sorry. We need the efficient.

00:50:57.440 --> 00:51:00.320
Oh, because otherwise it wouldn't be efficient.

00:51:01.040 --> 00:51:04.640
You not being aware of what was happening was pretty critical to the process,

00:51:04.640 --> 00:51:06.080
but your business team is amazing.

00:51:09.440 --> 00:51:12.080
I'll go here. Yes. Okay. I'll go here.

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.

00:51:16.880 --> 00:51:20.240
Oh, okay. Okay. Here, join us in the middle here. Okay, cool.

00:51:20.240 --> 00:51:22.640
Here. Trying to mix some space. A little bit of shuffling.

00:51:24.480 --> 00:51:24.960
Beautiful.

00:51:28.400 --> 00:51:29.920
Yeah, surprise, you're a legal witness.

00:51:32.800 --> 00:51:38.960
Yes, for words. All right. All right. Welcome, everybody, to the marriage today.

00:51:39.600 --> 00:51:42.560
I see it's quite a bit of a surprise.

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

00:51:50.640 --> 00:51:55.360
of this couple, according to order and custom prevailing and under the authority given and

00:51:55.360 --> 00:51:57.360
provided by me by the province.

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

00:52:04.160 --> 00:52:07.840
knew or sorry, do know of any legal impediment to this marriage,

00:59:06.160 --> 00:59:10.160
all this computation happen and then Linus' head

00:59:10.160 --> 00:59:13.160
and that was that was so entertaining the whole time

00:59:15.160 --> 00:59:17.160
wow that's so cool I um

00:59:18.160 --> 00:59:20.160
very very honored

00:59:21.160 --> 00:59:25.160
I wish I had dressed up a little bit but nobody told me

00:59:25.160 --> 00:59:29.160
that was the whole that was the whole point okay

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

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

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

00:59:41.160 --> 00:59:45.160
so this is my undershirt all I saw I saw Sammy come in

00:59:47.160 --> 00:59:51.160
I saw Luke start changing his clothes and I was reading about husband and wife

00:59:51.160 --> 00:59:55.160
Caleb and Steph and whatever and I thought maybe there was like a funny thing

00:59:55.160 --> 00:59:59.160
that Luke was gonna do that involved him being dressed up then I saw Dan

01:00:01.160 --> 01:00:05.160
for the main camera and I was like okay

01:00:05.160 --> 01:00:09.160
what are we doing I had so many cues to hit in like

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

01:00:13.160 --> 01:00:17.160
that was uh that was Jordan that was sorry Jordan

01:00:17.160 --> 01:00:19.160
block yeah nice solid

01:00:23.160 --> 01:00:27.160
did you not notice anything about me I mean I noticed you changing

01:00:29.160 --> 01:00:33.160
oh you're like wearing fancy shoes even I have cologne on

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

01:00:37.160 --> 01:00:41.160
no okay I thought I was gonna give it away the whole time

01:00:41.160 --> 01:00:45.160
in the pre-show you did your hair

01:00:45.160 --> 01:00:49.160
so that was something but you occasionally do that sometimes I do that yeah

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

01:00:53.160 --> 01:00:57.160
less often especially not at the same time that should have been a clue

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

01:01:01.160 --> 01:01:05.160
yeah I was trying to hide like color matched

01:01:05.160 --> 01:01:09.160
a bunch of things the jacket was hanging there the whole time

01:01:09.160 --> 01:01:13.160
oh are they still here I think

01:01:13.160 --> 01:01:17.160
they're busy yeah and I didn't

01:01:17.160 --> 01:01:21.160
didn't get them anything what the heck

01:01:25.160 --> 01:01:27.160
oh man

01:01:29.160 --> 01:01:33.160
I can't believe that just happened

01:01:33.160 --> 01:01:37.160
I thought this was Chinese New Year that's good

01:01:37.160 --> 01:01:41.160
was that the scam I don't think so

01:01:41.160 --> 01:01:45.160
because when is Chinese New Year it's soon right

01:01:45.160 --> 01:01:49.160
I think it was this week hold on

01:01:49.160 --> 01:01:53.160
oh yeah it was three days ago it's right now

01:01:53.160 --> 01:01:57.160
perfect it's totally Chinese New Year

01:01:57.160 --> 01:02:01.160
right now blah blah blah Tuesday February 17th

01:02:01.160 --> 01:02:05.160
2026 and that's the beginning of the year of the Fire Horse

01:02:05.160 --> 01:02:09.160
which lasts until February 5th 2027

01:02:09.160 --> 01:02:13.160
celebrations including Lantern Festival typically run for 16 days ending on March 3rd

01:02:13.160 --> 01:02:17.160
2026 so I was like this totally checked out I just didn't

01:02:17.160 --> 01:02:21.160
understand so this is why you guys are memeing earlier because I was all

01:02:21.160 --> 01:02:25.160
like you said something to Sammy

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

01:02:29.160 --> 01:02:33.160
Korean what the heck anyway

01:02:33.160 --> 01:02:37.160
um so does that

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

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

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

01:02:49.160 --> 01:02:53.160
that's probably both yeah um

01:02:53.160 --> 01:02:57.160
I think that's very funny so did Thorom sponsor the wedding yeah

01:02:57.160 --> 01:03:01.160
yes that's cool yeah that's why it's a cool takeover

01:03:01.160 --> 01:03:05.160
your business team did a good job

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

01:03:09.160 --> 01:03:11.160
what

01:03:13.160 --> 01:03:17.160
Terry nose I think probably like the whole business team knows

01:03:17.160 --> 01:03:21.160
not everybody at the company yeah uh Chewie says this may

01:03:21.160 --> 01:03:25.160
actually be the most genuine that Linus has been pranked on camera every prank

01:03:25.160 --> 01:03:29.160
on me on camera was genuine so it's just whether um

01:03:29.160 --> 01:03:33.160
you know it came across in the in the edit or not is basically what it

01:03:33.160 --> 01:03:37.160
comes down to like when Dennis was living in my house multiple times I did

01:03:37.160 --> 01:03:41.160
not know um I would never fake a prank

01:03:41.160 --> 01:03:45.160
that is that should be a crime

01:03:45.160 --> 01:03:49.160
that you should go to youtube jail for faking a prank

01:03:49.160 --> 01:03:53.160
except it's like most pranks yeah that's not okay uh

01:03:53.160 --> 01:03:57.160
alright so he's still there I couldn't find him

01:03:57.160 --> 01:04:01.160
uh alright if you guys want to do another topic I'll go have a look

01:04:01.160 --> 01:04:05.160
listen I will never deny getting teary-eyed at a wedding

01:04:05.160 --> 01:04:09.160
it's uh it's a very emotional time

01:04:09.160 --> 01:04:13.160
and I cannot help but be happy for super cool people

01:04:13.160 --> 01:04:17.160
starting a life together that's it's it's exciting

01:04:17.160 --> 01:04:21.160
and it's happy and uh anyone who thinks men shouldn't cry at

01:04:21.160 --> 01:04:25.160
weddings can go f*** themselves that's my hot take for today

01:04:25.160 --> 01:04:29.160
I can or should say but I'm I'm very happy for them

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

01:04:33.160 --> 01:04:37.160
deem best yeah once they have figured out

01:04:37.160 --> 01:04:41.160
um you know whatever it is that you know

01:04:41.160 --> 01:04:45.160
they're doing for for right now that is not in the public eye

01:04:45.160 --> 01:04:49.160
no that's not stop it no

01:04:49.160 --> 01:04:53.160
no no I know immediately smile that looked at me because I realized

01:04:53.160 --> 01:04:57.160
I just meant whatever they whatever they

01:04:57.160 --> 01:05:01.160
they can talk publicly about their personal lives

01:05:01.160 --> 01:05:05.160
when they're good and ready that's what I'm trying to say stop it

01:05:07.160 --> 01:05:11.160
yeah sure man that's why they left so fast

01:05:11.160 --> 01:05:15.160
they're just really excited to go talk about their the rest of their personal lives

01:05:17.160 --> 01:05:21.160
anyway exclusive

01:05:23.160 --> 01:05:27.160
I mean it wouldn't violate any rules with the platform technically no all

01:05:29.160 --> 01:05:33.160
why do you have to think they'd have to make it artistic no

01:05:33.160 --> 01:05:37.160
no why are we talking the payment processors

01:05:37.160 --> 01:05:41.160
oh that's right yeah so that's that's why lore

01:05:41.160 --> 01:05:45.160
for some people that's why for a long time adult

01:05:45.160 --> 01:05:49.160
content creators on patreon would do cosplay that's why that was so

01:05:49.160 --> 01:05:53.160
popular for a really long time was because it was considered art if they could

01:05:53.160 --> 01:05:57.160
put it under the cosplay category oh there is there's things I have things for

01:05:57.160 --> 01:06:01.160
you yeah I'm gonna I'm gonna come and see you guys okay yeah

01:06:01.160 --> 01:06:05.160
congrats dude yeah

01:06:05.160 --> 01:06:09.160
yeah no kidding definitely a surprise

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

01:06:15.160 --> 01:06:19.160
while they're doing that why don't I talk through the cat patch hoodie

01:06:19.160 --> 01:06:23.160
or something or what should I do did we do the gamers

01:06:23.160 --> 01:06:27.160
dlss topic yet we did not did we do anything yet

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

01:06:33.160 --> 01:06:37.160
um steam deck is getting pretty hard

01:06:37.160 --> 01:06:41.160
to get right now valve has added a note to the steam deck page

01:06:41.160 --> 01:06:45.160
saying that the handheld will be intermittently available in some regions

01:06:45.160 --> 01:06:49.160
due to memory and storage shortages

01:06:49.160 --> 01:06:53.160
I knew that memory shortages were already having a significant

01:06:53.160 --> 01:06:57.160
impact on pricing and I knew that storage shortages were coming

01:06:57.160 --> 01:07:01.160
but I didn't know how hard the storage shortages were gonna hit

01:07:01.160 --> 01:07:05.160
and how suddenly they were gonna hit yeah we're working on a thousand

01:07:05.160 --> 01:07:09.160
dollar build video and ploof

01:07:09.160 --> 01:07:13.160
ploof did something that

01:07:13.160 --> 01:07:17.160
made me very upset that

01:07:17.160 --> 01:07:21.160
I worked with him and tried to resolve and couldn't resolve

01:07:21.160 --> 01:07:25.160
he used a SATA SSD

01:07:25.160 --> 01:07:29.160
in a build I think that's the first time we've recommended

01:07:29.160 --> 01:07:33.160
a SATA SSD for any reason that

01:07:33.160 --> 01:07:37.160
in five years maybe because

01:07:37.160 --> 01:07:41.160
there's no reason why it should be cheaper even because

01:07:41.160 --> 01:07:45.160
part that costs more is the NAND flash but just I guess because

01:07:45.160 --> 01:07:49.160
the demand is a little lower and the stock is lagging

01:07:49.160 --> 01:07:53.160
the increases in price or whatever right now SATA SSDs are

01:07:53.160 --> 01:07:57.160
anywhere from like 15 to like $35 cheaper than NAND

01:07:57.160 --> 01:08:01.160
that too I absolutely see it making sense

01:08:01.160 --> 01:08:05.160
and for gaming it doesn't really matter so

01:08:05.160 --> 01:08:09.160
our thousand dollar build that's coming soon is gonna use a SATA SSD

01:08:09.160 --> 01:08:13.160
and to be clear when I say that it made me upset

01:08:13.160 --> 01:08:17.160
I don't mean like ploof made me upset he did something

01:08:17.160 --> 01:08:21.160
made me upset because we shouldn't be in that position and yet

01:08:21.160 --> 01:08:25.160
here we are crazy yeah for a boot drive

01:08:25.160 --> 01:08:29.160
yes scrappy DP for a boot drive and I looked at the config with him

01:08:29.160 --> 01:08:33.160
and I was like you nailed everything else

01:08:33.160 --> 01:08:37.160
and we've got a budget that's the reality in a perfect world

01:08:37.160 --> 01:08:41.160
would I love to spend another $35 and I've talked about this before

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

01:08:45.160 --> 01:08:49.160
if you spend another $30 on every single component

01:08:49.160 --> 01:08:53.160
you're not adhering to a budget when does that stop and real people have

01:08:53.160 --> 01:08:57.160
budgets and that's just the way it is so we have to act

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

01:09:01.160 --> 01:09:05.160
it's like $1,012 or something like that but $1,012

01:09:05.160 --> 01:09:09.160
is $1,000 $1,040?

01:09:09.160 --> 01:09:13.160
yeah not really that's $1,050

01:09:13.160 --> 01:09:17.160
that's not $1,000 I think if it was over

01:09:17.160 --> 01:09:21.160
$1,015 it starts to feel a little weird

01:09:21.160 --> 01:09:25.160
oh yeah I think $1,015 is probably the line

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

01:09:29.160 --> 01:09:33.160
I think $1,012 is like an automatic when you hit $1,020

01:09:33.160 --> 01:09:37.160
it's like come on man because that's like

01:09:37.160 --> 01:09:41.160
a real bill like a $20 bill

01:09:41.160 --> 01:09:45.160
is like I'm not gonna put that in my pocket

01:09:45.160 --> 01:09:49.160
that one goes in my wallet like $5 bill

01:09:49.160 --> 01:09:53.160
that could be in my pocket I might even put that in with the change drawer

01:09:53.160 --> 01:09:57.160
$10 bill we're getting sketchy $20

01:09:57.160 --> 01:10:01.160
right in the wallet no question no question

01:10:01.160 --> 01:10:05.160
yeah this is lunch

01:10:05.160 --> 01:10:09.160
for sure is this financial device? no not financial

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

01:10:13.160 --> 01:10:17.160
$5 does nothing for the car now

01:10:17.160 --> 01:10:21.160
no I think they mean like oh I thought like to fill your gas tank

01:10:21.160 --> 01:10:25.160
no no no I read that comment for one

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

01:10:29.160 --> 01:10:33.160
yeah no I thought like I remember when money was tight my dad putting

01:10:33.160 --> 01:10:37.160
$5 in the gas tank and I was like dude that was in like

01:10:37.160 --> 01:10:41.160
1993 not so much anymore

01:10:41.160 --> 01:10:45.160
yeah sure on a motorcycle chewy but that's not what we're talking about

01:10:45.160 --> 01:10:49.160
our discussion question for this is do you think the steam

01:10:49.160 --> 01:10:53.160
machine and or the frame could be delayed beyond

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

01:10:57.160 --> 01:11:01.160
so it was supposed to be early in the first half of the year

01:11:01.160 --> 01:11:05.160
but they never actually promised anything other than first half of the year

01:11:05.160 --> 01:11:09.160
and yeah I do think that's possible if they can't even get enough stock

01:11:09.160 --> 01:11:13.160
to make steam deck right now like how are they supposed to launch a new

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

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

01:11:21.160 --> 01:11:25.160
it and there's no stock and it's a whole scalping situation

01:11:25.160 --> 01:11:29.160
where let's say the launch price is $999 and they're going

01:11:29.160 --> 01:11:33.160
for $2,500 on ebay because you know at the beginning they will

01:11:33.160 --> 01:11:37.160
because to someone for whom money is no object there is nothing

01:11:37.160 --> 01:11:41.160
exactly like the steam machine

01:11:41.160 --> 01:11:45.160
tell me something that completely fulfills the function of the steam machine go

01:11:45.160 --> 01:11:49.160
I'll wait not that I'm aware of you could

01:11:49.160 --> 01:11:53.160
do it you could make it yourself sure you're going to go get

01:11:53.160 --> 01:11:57.160
an IR receiver and you're going to go get like some relay system

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

01:12:01.160 --> 01:12:05.160
you're going to go you're going to make your own steam controller

01:12:05.160 --> 01:12:09.160
with the touch pads with controller yeah what's

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

01:12:13.160 --> 01:12:17.160
steam controller alike with touch pads he made his own touch pads is the controller

01:12:17.160 --> 01:12:21.160
tied to the con yeah I guess the launch of that probably is

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

01:12:25.160 --> 01:12:29.160
all of the stuff from the controller like there's a bunch of work that

01:12:29.160 --> 01:12:33.160
valve did on the integration side of things that is completely

01:12:33.160 --> 01:12:37.160
separate from just how many FPS does it get

01:12:37.160 --> 01:12:41.160
and sure you could you could just roll an Xbox or a PlayStation instead

01:12:41.160 --> 01:12:45.160
but then you don't have steam you don't have

01:12:45.160 --> 01:12:49.160
no offense Microsoft and Sony but you don't have good pricing on games

01:12:49.160 --> 01:12:53.160
so to me no there is absolutely nothing

01:12:53.160 --> 01:12:57.160
that is what the steam machine is it's it's completely unique

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

01:13:01.160 --> 01:13:05.160
be playing the most demanding games that just plain fucking want one

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

01:13:09.160 --> 01:13:13.160
money than sense they might just have more money than they care about

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

01:13:17.160 --> 01:13:21.160
stuff that's a bad value before the work that I'm doing on my motorbike

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

01:13:25.160 --> 01:13:29.160
riding around on a 2003 with a paint job that's insane

01:13:29.160 --> 01:13:33.160
it is objectively it's crazy

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

01:13:37.160 --> 01:13:41.160
bike it's still enough for me it's 650cc it's really comfortable

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

01:13:45.160 --> 01:13:49.160
ripping around on my own paint job Tommy B

01:13:49.160 --> 01:13:53.160
Tommy B who did that theme control is super cool so

01:13:55.160 --> 01:13:59.160
sucks alright you want to talk about next should we

01:13:59.160 --> 01:14:03.160
do the other big headline topic yeah let's do it let's do it

01:14:03.160 --> 01:14:07.160
you guys might not like to hear this okay but I need you for one moment

01:14:07.160 --> 01:14:11.160
to just here just

01:14:11.160 --> 01:14:15.160
just grab that and just

01:14:15.160 --> 01:14:19.160
what that chill pill

01:14:19.160 --> 01:14:23.160
just take it and calm down go ahead

01:14:23.160 --> 01:14:27.160
gamers overwhelm we'll get into it we'll get into it

01:14:27.160 --> 01:14:31.160
but to listen to the title gamers overwhelmingly prefer DLSS over FSR

01:14:31.160 --> 01:14:35.160
in a three way blind test over six games

01:14:35.160 --> 01:14:39.160
German tech publication computer bases readers overwhelmingly found DLSS

01:14:39.160 --> 01:14:43.160
4.5 upscaling to have the best picture quality

01:14:43.160 --> 01:14:47.160
over FSR or native rendering and that last one that's the bomb shell

01:14:47.160 --> 01:14:51.160
the native rendering is the the games used for this test

01:14:51.160 --> 01:14:55.160
was ANNA 117 ARC Raiders

01:14:55.160 --> 01:14:59.160
Cyberpunk 2077 Horizon Forbidden West

01:14:59.160 --> 01:15:03.160
Satisfactory and The Last of Us Part 2 now that is also another huge bomb shell

01:15:03.160 --> 01:15:07.160
these are not just like ashes of the benchmark or even cyberpunk

01:15:07.160 --> 01:15:11.160
games that are just overwhelmingly optimized

01:15:11.160 --> 01:15:15.160
or because they're the traditional showcase games

01:15:15.160 --> 01:15:19.160
and these are showcasing games beautiful games pretty much across the board

01:15:19.160 --> 01:15:23.160
other than maybe Satisfactory um

01:15:23.160 --> 01:15:27.160
but these are real games that people are playing this is not

01:15:27.160 --> 01:15:31.160
like contrived yeah and all those real games are ran at 4k resolution

01:15:31.160 --> 01:15:35.160
with upscaling set to quality videos were played

01:15:35.160 --> 01:15:39.160
to were played to readers in NVIDIA's iCat player

01:15:39.160 --> 01:15:43.160
showing game clips rendered in DLSS 4.5

01:15:43.160 --> 01:15:47.160
FSR and natively side by side this is the

01:15:47.160 --> 01:15:51.160
it's a video it is but if anything

01:15:51.160 --> 01:15:55.160
to me that is a disadvantage

01:15:55.160 --> 01:15:59.160
to DLSS it could be because DLSS

01:15:59.160 --> 01:16:03.160
when you're actually using it remember we're talking DLSS upscaling

01:16:03.160 --> 01:16:07.160
not DLSS Framegen

01:16:07.160 --> 01:16:11.160
so there's no latency drawback of DLSS upscaling if anything

01:16:11.160 --> 01:16:15.160
the latency will be better because you will be running at more FPS

01:16:15.160 --> 01:16:19.160
because you're rendering at a lower resolution then upscaling

01:16:19.160 --> 01:16:21.160
it through machine learning

01:16:23.160 --> 01:16:27.160
it's just a weird note it is

01:16:27.160 --> 01:16:31.160
respondents could indicate whether they preferred or answer equivalent

01:16:31.160 --> 01:16:35.160
so they could be like yeah they're all the same DLSS won in every

01:16:35.160 --> 01:16:39.160
game with an overall result of 48% of votes

01:16:39.160 --> 01:16:43.160
from a pool of 6,747

01:16:43.160 --> 01:16:47.160
native rendering was also preferred over FSR in

01:16:47.160 --> 01:16:51.160
every game with 24% of the overall vote to FSR's

01:16:51.160 --> 01:16:55.160
15 that doesn't uh

01:16:55.160 --> 01:16:59.160
so 15% of people preferred FSR or 15% of votes

01:16:59.160 --> 01:17:03.160
were for FSR 24% of votes were for

01:17:03.160 --> 01:17:07.160
native and 48%

01:17:07.160 --> 01:17:11.160
12.8% of the responses were equivalent between the three categories

01:17:11.160 --> 01:17:15.160
so just done care one out of eight gamers was like whatever

01:17:15.160 --> 01:17:19.160
whatever dude responses weren't ranked, respondents only voted

01:17:19.160 --> 01:17:23.160
on what they thought was the best video now if these were

01:17:23.160 --> 01:17:27.160
closer if it was like

01:17:27.160 --> 01:17:31.160
20 30

01:17:31.160 --> 01:17:35.160
25 I'm looking at it going like okay well you've

01:17:35.160 --> 01:17:39.160
obviously got a bunch of normies who literally can't tell the difference

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

01:17:43.160 --> 01:17:47.160
as good as native I'd be ready to be pretty dismissive of it

01:17:47.160 --> 01:17:51.160
but the sheer volume of voting

01:17:51.160 --> 01:17:55.160
and the overwhelming preference

01:17:55.160 --> 01:17:59.160
for DLSS is kind of

01:17:59.160 --> 01:18:03.160
f***ing right now like

01:18:03.160 --> 01:18:07.160
seriously there is a lot of variables that hold

01:18:07.160 --> 01:18:11.160
it was a video that was played all that kind of stuff but

01:18:11.160 --> 01:18:15.160
are you surprised by the results no

01:18:15.160 --> 01:18:19.160
yeah that's the spicy part of this I was waiting for

01:18:19.160 --> 01:18:23.160
is we can nitpick how the like you know how the thing

01:18:23.160 --> 01:18:27.160
was done we can nitpick the science and I'm sure there's lots

01:18:27.160 --> 01:18:31.160
to be done there as there is with everything ever

01:18:31.160 --> 01:18:35.160
but I'm not particularly surprised by the result

01:18:35.160 --> 01:18:39.160
have you tried it yet is your gaming machine up and running

01:18:39.160 --> 01:18:43.160
you're on 4000 series right so you can run it

01:18:43.160 --> 01:18:47.160
I think you have a 4080 you should try it

01:18:47.160 --> 01:18:51.160
like immediately are you

01:18:51.160 --> 01:18:53.160
afraid to like it

01:18:57.160 --> 01:19:01.160
a little bit I was too

01:19:01.160 --> 01:19:05.160
but not because of like external perceptions like it's kind of like the first

01:19:05.160 --> 01:19:09.160
time that you you know try it with it no

01:19:09.160 --> 01:19:13.160
how no I don't think at all

01:19:13.160 --> 01:19:17.160
my thing is that I'm worried about I guess you knew you'd like that

01:19:17.160 --> 01:19:21.160
yeah my thing that I'm worried about is

01:19:21.160 --> 01:19:25.160
what this will do to multiple industries

01:19:25.160 --> 01:19:29.160
which industries hit me

01:19:29.160 --> 01:19:33.160
gaming and hardware hardware it's already happened

01:19:33.160 --> 01:19:37.160
like NVIDIA set this course

01:19:37.160 --> 01:19:41.160
years ago not just when they launched the 20 series

01:19:41.160 --> 01:19:45.160
they set this course when they started developing

01:19:45.160 --> 01:19:49.160
the 20 series so this is like 8 years ago or like

01:19:49.160 --> 01:19:53.160
9 years ago or something that's really fast

01:19:53.160 --> 01:19:57.160
for this level of impact it is

01:19:57.160 --> 01:20:01.160
8 or 9 years for this level of impact is wild like

01:20:01.160 --> 01:20:05.160
it's actually very wild look at almost any other comparative industry

01:20:05.160 --> 01:20:09.160
however it's also like damn near clairvoyant

01:20:09.160 --> 01:20:13.160
when it comes to seeing where

01:20:13.160 --> 01:20:17.160
the where the winds are blowing within the tech industry

01:20:17.160 --> 01:20:21.160
and getting it this right when it was in such

01:20:21.160 --> 01:20:25.160
early stages of development at that time when the hardware didn't exist

01:20:25.160 --> 01:20:29.160
when the software tools didn't exist when it hadn't been

01:20:29.160 --> 01:20:33.160
embraced by game developers you gotta give them credit

01:20:33.160 --> 01:20:37.160
they nailed it and now everyone else

01:20:37.160 --> 01:20:41.160
is playing catch up whether you like fake frames whether you don't like fake frames

01:20:41.160 --> 01:20:45.160
AMD and Intel are all in on upscaling

01:20:45.160 --> 01:20:49.160
and frame gen now the warden is kind of

01:20:49.160 --> 01:20:53.160
getting to my point how are you fellas gonna pivot when consumer computing

01:20:53.160 --> 01:20:57.160
is completely gone in 5 years um this is kind of

01:20:57.160 --> 01:21:01.160
what I'm talking about is like the and it's not even just the work

01:21:01.160 --> 01:21:05.160
right we can actually do a lot of different things oh yeah

01:21:05.160 --> 01:21:07.160
where's a lot of the revenue coming from these days

01:21:09.160 --> 01:21:13.160
that stuff so like you know that's of course

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

01:21:17.160 --> 01:21:21.160
the memories that I have of my entire life is being

01:21:21.160 --> 01:21:25.160
interested in this hobby from before I was interested in this hobby

01:21:25.160 --> 01:21:29.160
I don't remember anything like it's been forever

01:21:29.160 --> 01:21:33.160
and then there's what this will continue to do

01:21:33.160 --> 01:21:37.160
the gaming industry um gaming industry is in a really weird

01:21:37.160 --> 01:21:41.160
spot right now and I think this doesn't necessarily help so hear me out

01:21:41.160 --> 01:21:45.160
we've had this conversation before but it always felt kind of like

01:21:45.160 --> 01:21:49.160
eh sci-fi

01:21:49.160 --> 01:21:53.160
and maybe someday and blah blah blah and it always seemed kind of easy to dismiss

01:21:53.160 --> 01:21:55.160
but I feel like it's time to have it again

01:21:57.160 --> 01:22:01.160
if someone say Microsoft

01:22:01.160 --> 01:22:05.160
built a gaming experience that simply wasn't possible

01:22:05.160 --> 01:22:09.160
with many clients all over the world

01:22:09.160 --> 01:22:13.160
connecting to a central server to exchange game data

01:22:13.160 --> 01:22:17.160
if they built a gaming experience that could only

01:22:17.160 --> 01:22:21.160
run on the big iron and that you remote into

01:22:21.160 --> 01:22:25.160
and it beams frames to you like a like I know we've had

01:22:25.160 --> 01:22:29.160
massively multiplayer worlds right but I'm talking

01:22:29.160 --> 01:22:33.160
like a massively multiplayer world where it's just it's just not even possible

01:22:33.160 --> 01:22:37.160
to run it on the client side anymore could you be convinced

01:22:37.160 --> 01:22:41.160
in this in this hypothetical you know universe scale

01:22:41.160 --> 01:22:45.160
game where everything is physics based

01:22:45.160 --> 01:22:49.160
and everything's persistent man what happened to physics NVIDIA games

01:22:49.160 --> 01:22:53.160
anyways that's a different topic but but let's say

01:22:53.160 --> 01:22:57.160
that by having enormous banks of

01:22:57.160 --> 01:23:01.160
AI servers and crap they could model and simulate

01:23:01.160 --> 01:23:05.160
the world in a way that just wasn't possible to render locally

01:23:05.160 --> 01:23:09.160
I mean the more interesting part to me is the anti-cheating that comes with that

01:23:09.160 --> 01:23:13.160
yeah could you be convinced to cloud

01:23:13.160 --> 01:23:17.160
game to play that like let's say it was a game

01:23:17.160 --> 01:23:21.160
that had a moment like Arc Raiders is having right now

01:23:21.160 --> 01:23:25.160
would you just be like let's go

01:23:25.160 --> 01:23:29.160
would you be sad like tell me walk me through it

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

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

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

01:23:41.160 --> 01:23:45.160
Xbox game pass or the Ubisoft service or EA's thing

01:23:45.160 --> 01:23:49.160
or anything like that even when it like probably made

01:23:49.160 --> 01:23:53.160
sense and I'd be like okay there's some new shooter coming out maybe it

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

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

01:24:01.160 --> 01:24:05.160
really every single time if I'm gonna play that game I've bought it

01:24:05.160 --> 01:24:09.160
I have not joined the subscription services I don't know at a certain point

01:24:09.160 --> 01:24:13.160
when there is no longer an option which is the reality you're describing

01:24:13.160 --> 01:24:17.160
yeah I don't know necessarily what I do there

01:24:17.160 --> 01:24:21.160
I think there's definitely a lot of interesting aspects the anti-cheat is very

01:24:21.160 --> 01:24:25.160
interesting would you still be able to cheat absolutely but the level

01:24:25.160 --> 01:24:29.160
of cheating would decrease and at least at the beginning

01:24:29.160 --> 01:24:33.160
the barrier of entry would increase like

01:24:33.160 --> 01:24:37.160
using machine vision to read a screen

01:24:37.160 --> 01:24:41.160
and literally a robot ARM to move a mouse and operate a keyboard

01:24:41.160 --> 01:24:45.160
oh you can still digitally send inputs there's nothing I just mean

01:24:45.160 --> 01:24:49.160
that's sort of the the ridiculous

01:24:49.160 --> 01:24:53.160
lengths to which we could go and people have gone

01:24:53.160 --> 01:24:57.160
to make something that is completely undetectable by software

01:24:57.160 --> 01:25:01.160
but you can still read a screen and then snap to a head

01:25:01.160 --> 01:25:05.160
like you said still detectable by things etc yeah

01:25:05.160 --> 01:25:09.160
so we'll never be able to completely eliminate people who are determined

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

01:25:13.160 --> 01:25:17.160
per freaking lobby like some games are right now yeah

01:25:17.160 --> 01:25:21.160
so that is kind of exciting but

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

01:25:31.160 --> 01:25:35.160
there's like it's kind of funny

01:25:35.160 --> 01:25:39.160
during the reno I spent the longest period of time in my life since I touched

01:25:39.160 --> 01:25:43.160
a desktop without touching a desktop because at work I had a laptop

01:25:43.160 --> 01:25:47.160
and I would take that laptop home to I mean most of the time

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

01:25:51.160 --> 01:25:55.160
was on a laptop for a while and then I got my desktop back

01:25:55.160 --> 01:25:59.160
and it like shouldn't matter when you're connected to a dock

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

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

01:26:07.160 --> 01:26:11.160
right now and I haven't for like six months and there's just

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

01:26:15.160 --> 01:26:19.160
know why no they're just there just I don't know they just

01:26:19.160 --> 01:26:23.160
even that stuff just feel like they work better even always would talk to me about

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

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

01:26:31.160 --> 01:26:35.160
that doesn't make any sense because but it anecdotally it's

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

01:26:39.160 --> 01:26:43.160
chips have a tendency to to be very bursty in their performance or whatever

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

01:26:47.160 --> 01:26:51.160
right now it's an elite book X

01:26:53.160 --> 01:26:57.160
yeah an elite book X G1 A it's a Strix Halo so it's

01:26:57.160 --> 01:27:01.160
it's like a four thousand dollar laptop that I would never buy

01:27:01.160 --> 01:27:05.160
because there's like things about it that are like like broken

01:27:05.160 --> 01:27:09.160
level of stupid like it has by default this the screen ships at 40

01:27:09.160 --> 01:27:13.160
Hertz I know right you can turn it up to

01:27:13.160 --> 01:27:17.160
60 what is it an engineering laptop or something or like what

01:27:17.160 --> 01:27:21.160
like an engineering sample you know why would it have a Strix Halo in a 40

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

01:27:25.160 --> 01:27:29.160
because it can be configured with up to 128 gigs of RAM like Strix Halo

01:27:29.160 --> 01:27:33.160
you know tends to do I was trying to figure out like what

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

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

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

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

01:27:49.160 --> 01:27:53.160
not like you compare this to like a like a top top-end

01:27:53.160 --> 01:27:57.160
MacBook right now and you're like not good

01:27:57.160 --> 01:28:01.160
not good but man that Strix Halo but yeah

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

01:28:05.160 --> 01:28:09.160
running a desktop off I can only keep it alive

01:28:09.160 --> 01:28:13.160
through second-hand hardware because literally no one makes this stuff anymore I feel like

01:28:13.160 --> 01:28:17.160
I'm going to be that guy and does that mean I'm just aging

01:28:17.160 --> 01:28:21.160
poorly or whatever maybe maybe when I'm 70

01:28:21.160 --> 01:28:25.160
and I'm still keeping my desktop alive I will be seen as aging

01:28:25.160 --> 01:28:29.160
poorly yeah but I don't think I care I like my spot

01:28:29.160 --> 01:28:31.160
I like having a desktop

01:28:33.160 --> 01:28:35.160
I like how it works

01:28:37.160 --> 01:28:41.160
and if that's the equivalent of having a Windows 98 machine now

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

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

01:28:49.160 --> 01:28:53.160
going to be the only millennial left in 30 years from now so

01:28:53.160 --> 01:28:57.160
I won't be 70 30 years from now well I will

01:28:57.160 --> 01:28:59.160
right there buddy

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

01:29:07.160 --> 01:29:11.160
right and there's and there's happens or not and I think that especially

01:29:11.160 --> 01:29:15.160
with how diverse the game development industry is

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

01:29:19.160 --> 01:29:23.160
this this splintering off that's happening right now from the big studios

01:29:23.160 --> 01:29:27.160
you're going to have a lot of people who in much the same way that

01:29:27.160 --> 01:29:31.160
game developers are spreading up who are nostalgic for the rich single player

01:29:31.160 --> 01:29:35.160
like pixel art RPG experiences of their youth

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

01:29:39.160 --> 01:29:43.160
I think you're going to have people making games that are designed to be played

01:29:43.160 --> 01:29:47.160
from the client side there's always the indie space yeah but and

01:29:47.160 --> 01:29:51.160
and by and always yeah sure always is a huge word

01:29:51.160 --> 01:29:55.160
very loaded maybe it won't always but in our lifetimes I don't

01:29:55.160 --> 01:29:59.160
see the desktop completely going away it might take on a different form

01:29:59.160 --> 01:30:03.160
the the kind that we use now might not make

01:30:03.160 --> 01:30:07.160
sense anymore we're already seeing soldered memory make its way to

01:30:07.160 --> 01:30:11.160
the desktop not because it's being crammed down our throats but because it runs

01:30:11.160 --> 01:30:15.160
faster like the fact that framework went that route

01:30:15.160 --> 01:30:19.160
was pretty mind blowing to me and the first thing I told them was like hey

01:30:19.160 --> 01:30:23.160
huh like this is not that modular

01:30:23.160 --> 01:30:27.160
and they're like look AMD

01:30:27.160 --> 01:30:31.160
literally like worked with us on this you cannot build

01:30:31.160 --> 01:30:35.160
Strix Halo with with memory modules and maintain the

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

01:30:39.160 --> 01:30:43.160
and the and and the GPU is becoming integrated the way they

01:30:43.160 --> 01:30:47.160
are in a really weird way that happened we went from that

01:30:47.160 --> 01:30:51.160
conversation right where Intel started talking about you know the

01:30:51.160 --> 01:30:55.160
igpu on the CPU becoming like very powerful and an important part

01:30:55.160 --> 01:30:59.160
and AMD with their fusion way back in the day and the CPU

01:30:59.160 --> 01:31:03.160
and the GPU becoming integrated and we all went yeah but igpu's are so crap

01:31:03.160 --> 01:31:07.160
they're so bad I feel like it just kind of

01:31:07.160 --> 01:31:11.160
everyone was talking about it and it like definitely wasn't going to happen

01:31:11.160 --> 01:31:15.160
and then there was a period of kind of quiet and then it just happened

01:31:15.160 --> 01:31:19.160
happened he's a really how fine is the soldering

01:31:19.160 --> 01:31:23.160
on soldered RAM that's not that bad

01:31:23.160 --> 01:31:27.160
bga RAM can be upgraded a lot of the time

01:31:27.160 --> 01:31:31.160
the issue around both that and then comes down to like like firmware

01:31:31.160 --> 01:31:35.160
handling the firmware but no one is going

01:31:35.160 --> 01:31:39.160
to build a mother board that is designed to have

01:31:39.160 --> 01:31:43.160
the RAM desoldered and resoldered on to it willy nilly and so

01:31:43.160 --> 01:31:47.160
because of that you're never going to get friendly firmware

01:31:47.160 --> 01:31:51.160
even from companies that do have the best intentions and you can make there are

01:31:51.160 --> 01:31:55.160
boards that allow bga chips to just be like like like bolted

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

01:31:59.160 --> 01:32:03.160
expensive and bulky just trying to think like is it possible that's

01:32:03.160 --> 01:32:07.160
the return of like repair shops basically oh yeah

01:32:07.160 --> 01:32:11.160
100% it might not even be upgrading but it might be replacing

01:32:11.160 --> 01:32:15.160
fixing stuff like that 100%

01:32:15.160 --> 01:32:19.160
right the other thing I was going to say is I think Strix Halo is just

01:32:19.160 --> 01:32:23.160
the beginning too because one of the things that was

01:32:23.160 --> 01:32:27.160
most exciting to me about Panther Lake was not

01:32:27.160 --> 01:32:31.160
and this is why I think our Panther Lake coverage back at CES was so

01:32:31.160 --> 01:32:35.160
different from everyone else's because I was

01:32:35.160 --> 01:32:39.160
moderately excited to see Intel return to competition in terms of battery life

01:32:39.160 --> 01:32:43.160
put out a really good IGPU okay no I was more than moderately

01:32:43.160 --> 01:32:47.160
excited for the IGPU moderately excited for the performance

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

01:32:51.160 --> 01:32:55.160
as they make a new chip but what I was really excited about was

01:32:55.160 --> 01:32:59.160
the modularity of the underlying

01:32:59.160 --> 01:33:03.160
platform like they've got all of this stuff that they were

01:33:03.160 --> 01:33:07.160
talking about for years like Foveros is like

01:33:07.160 --> 01:33:11.160
working it's in shipping silicon

01:33:11.160 --> 01:33:15.160
right now we can just like

01:33:15.160 --> 01:33:19.160
take out and they talked about using third party vendor

01:33:19.160 --> 01:33:23.160
IP so the idea like

01:33:23.160 --> 01:33:27.160
holy crap of getting something like the SOC

01:33:27.160 --> 01:33:31.160
on the Nintendo switch right with like an NVIDIA GPU

01:33:31.160 --> 01:33:35.160
but like an x86 CPU and then like some custom

01:33:35.160 --> 01:33:38.160
you know AI Tom Fulery over here and

01:33:38.160 --> 01:33:42.160
whatever they want over there and having like a like a mega chip

01:33:42.160 --> 01:33:46.160
on something like a framework desktop like a really compact desktop form

01:33:46.160 --> 01:33:49.160
factor that's that's exciting

01:33:49.160 --> 01:33:53.160
that's cool and if they're able to do that

01:33:53.160 --> 01:33:57.160
not on a monolithic die right but through packaging

01:33:57.160 --> 01:34:01.160
then the yields might actually not suck

01:34:01.160 --> 01:34:05.160
and the performance benefit of having it all tightly integrated

01:34:05.160 --> 01:34:09.160
might be worth the cost maybe here's a

01:34:09.160 --> 01:34:13.160
here's an interesting comment from uh

01:34:13.160 --> 01:34:17.160
fartmuncher69 420 uh

01:34:17.160 --> 01:34:21.160
in floodplain chat fartmuncher69

01:34:21.160 --> 01:34:25.160
underscore 420 says enthusiasts will change to running servers

01:34:25.160 --> 01:34:29.160
inside their house instead of desktops in my opinion this is

01:34:29.160 --> 01:34:33.160
really interesting comment because we've talked about that before first of all we have

01:34:33.160 --> 01:34:37.160
second of all in my opinion

01:34:37.160 --> 01:34:41.160
if you look at like tech media what is the only

01:34:41.160 --> 01:34:45.160
thing that like really feels like it's growing right now building like local AI

01:34:45.160 --> 01:34:49.160
crap homebrew yeah or home lab yeah

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

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

01:34:57.160 --> 01:35:01.160
oh man like I mean I've been mulling over this this this particular thought

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

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

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

01:35:13.160 --> 01:35:17.160
you can't like you're you're all tactical but people can't tell

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

01:35:21.160 --> 01:35:23.160
but there's also like

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

01:35:29.160 --> 01:35:33.160
so why should I share all my private things with Google and everybody

01:35:33.160 --> 01:35:37.160
else right so like there's people that are like alright there's a certain level

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

01:35:41.160 --> 01:35:45.160
so I think people are trying to split off from certain major services

01:35:45.160 --> 01:35:49.160
not out of again like paranoia oh my god

01:35:49.160 --> 01:35:53.160
I need to be ultra tactical but it's just like whoa like this is actually

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

01:35:57.160 --> 01:36:01.160
things are happening at the same time we did an AMD ultimate tech upgrade

01:36:01.160 --> 01:36:05.160
I guess we shot it a couple of weeks ago for Nate one of our

01:36:05.160 --> 01:36:09.160
guys at Creator Warehouse did I talk about this last week I don't think so

01:36:09.160 --> 01:36:13.160
okay so so we shot an AMD ultimate tech upgrade and one of the

01:36:13.160 --> 01:36:17.160
things that he wanted was a NAS which is like

01:36:17.160 --> 01:36:21.160
yeah sure that's a thing that comes up on these AMD ultimate tech upgrades

01:36:21.160 --> 01:36:25.160
but the difference is that Nate doesn't really do

01:36:25.160 --> 01:36:29.160
any video editing doesn't really

01:36:29.160 --> 01:36:33.160
want a Plex server he doesn't do the stuff

01:36:33.160 --> 01:36:37.160
that we typically think of people wanting NASs for

01:36:37.160 --> 01:36:41.160
and this was really cool and very exciting

01:36:41.160 --> 01:36:45.160
investment disclosure in esh tech

01:36:45.160 --> 01:36:49.160
but they have gotten to the point where what he was after

01:36:49.160 --> 01:36:53.160
was quite literally a matter of like

01:36:53.160 --> 01:36:57.160
maybe 10 clicks to get image setup

01:36:57.160 --> 01:37:01.160
on his remember hexOS is based on TrueNAS

01:37:01.160 --> 01:37:05.160
so the underlying the underlying system

01:37:05.160 --> 01:37:09.160
is TrueNAS, ZFS good stuff

01:37:09.160 --> 01:37:13.160
and he was able to get it setup pretty dashboard, get image

01:37:13.160 --> 01:37:17.160
installed and syncing from his phone in like I kid you not

01:37:17.160 --> 01:37:21.160
about 10 minutes with no trial and error

01:37:21.160 --> 01:37:25.160
and no BS and that was what he wanted it for

01:37:25.160 --> 01:37:29.160
he had a kid recently and he just doesn't want

01:37:29.160 --> 01:37:33.160
to upload to a cloud service because there's a freaking

01:37:33.160 --> 01:37:37.160
limit yeah like it's

01:37:37.160 --> 01:37:41.160
really not it's not edgy

01:37:43.160 --> 01:37:47.160
like you hear these stories oh man this is gonna make conspiracy theorists like

01:37:47.160 --> 01:37:49.160
so

01:37:51.160 --> 01:37:55.160
I'm not gonna say the word for it but yeah I guess

01:37:55.160 --> 01:37:59.160
but it's not why are they feeling like that

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

01:38:05.160 --> 01:38:09.160
jesus christ jesus can't help you

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

01:38:13.160 --> 01:38:17.160
widely this is an old story

01:38:17.160 --> 01:38:21.160
but you hear about the Tesla stuff where they were like sharing videos

01:38:21.160 --> 01:38:25.160
from inside of people's cars for fun on their slack like this

01:38:25.160 --> 01:38:29.160
is happening we have accepted that even if a company

01:38:29.160 --> 01:38:33.160
is like morally perfect

01:38:33.160 --> 01:38:37.160
well they're gonna get hacked anyways like it's if your data is

01:38:37.160 --> 01:38:41.160
is just publicly out there

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

01:38:45.160 --> 01:38:49.160
and realistically most people

01:38:49.160 --> 01:38:53.160
probably not that important yeah but

01:38:53.160 --> 01:38:57.160
but it kinda doesn't matter maybe I still don't want someone seeing it

01:38:57.160 --> 01:39:01.160
maybe that just sucks yeah maybe that's actually an irrelevant part of this conversation

01:39:01.160 --> 01:39:05.160
and maybe we could just not because I know that gets brought up too

01:39:05.160 --> 01:39:09.160
and it's just like dude whatever that doesn't mean I want

01:39:09.160 --> 01:39:13.160
yeah I don't know just

01:39:13.160 --> 01:39:17.160
owning your own stuff I think is shifting from

01:39:17.160 --> 01:39:21.160
paranoid people and hyper enthusiast land to normies

01:39:21.160 --> 01:39:25.160
this is actually just kinda normal now dude I think that

01:39:25.160 --> 01:39:29.160
as cool as it was investing in framework

01:39:29.160 --> 01:39:33.160
and as many good business decisions as I've made for LMG

01:39:33.160 --> 01:39:37.160
and mistakes the investment

01:39:37.160 --> 01:39:41.160
in eshtec and the timing for hexOS

01:39:41.160 --> 01:39:45.160
is gonna end up seeming like clairvoyant

01:39:45.160 --> 01:39:49.160
when they get their product out of

01:39:49.160 --> 01:39:53.160
pre-release and like dude the timing

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

01:39:57.160 --> 01:40:01.160
dark guy said AI being on your junk for AI porn

01:40:01.160 --> 01:40:05.160
see this is part of my problem though is like you hear stuff like that

01:40:05.160 --> 01:40:09.160
and it's like okay maybe I think he's probably joking but I've

01:40:09.160 --> 01:40:13.160
heard more recently that apparently one of the ways that they prey on women

01:40:13.160 --> 01:40:17.160
is they look for when you delete a bunch of selfies

01:40:17.160 --> 01:40:21.160
because it shows like a low self-esteem moment and then they'll target you

01:40:21.160 --> 01:40:25.160
with ads for like makeup and cosmetic surgeries and stuff like that

01:40:25.160 --> 01:40:29.160
seriously and it's just like maybe I'm just

01:40:29.160 --> 01:40:33.160
gonna host my own photos and you can actually just f*** off

01:40:33.160 --> 01:40:37.160
I just don't actually want you involved with this at all

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

01:40:41.160 --> 01:40:45.160
that is just not okay and like

01:40:45.160 --> 01:40:49.160
you know self-esteem issues in men and women are a problem

01:40:49.160 --> 01:40:53.160
but I think it's pretty well known that like negative emotions

01:40:53.160 --> 01:40:57.160
and negative thoughts and self-esteem issues like that are much more heavily

01:40:57.160 --> 01:41:01.160
present on with

01:41:01.160 --> 01:41:05.160
women and it's just like I don't know get out of here

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

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

01:41:13.160 --> 01:41:17.160
I think Instagram was doing that too yeah I don't I don't necessarily know

01:41:17.160 --> 01:41:21.160
so here it is Q1 of 2026

01:41:21.160 --> 01:41:25.160
by March 31st 2026 we will have 1.0

01:41:25.160 --> 01:41:29.160
of HexOS which will include the local UI

01:41:29.160 --> 01:41:33.160
that people were rightly upset wasn't

01:41:33.160 --> 01:41:37.160
initially planned for the launch

01:41:37.160 --> 01:41:41.160
Q1 of this year yeah and like that's

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

01:41:45.160 --> 01:41:49.160
yes lots of other options what I love about this one

01:41:49.160 --> 01:41:53.160
is the philosophy of making and secure and robust

01:41:53.160 --> 01:41:57.160
simple but if you decide you're going down this route

01:41:57.160 --> 01:42:01.160
regardless you can go that route and skip the steps

01:42:01.160 --> 01:42:05.160
or there's a massive extremely vibrant community around doing it for free as well

01:42:05.160 --> 01:42:09.160
yes level 1 forums is really good for it

01:42:09.160 --> 01:42:13.160
there's stuff on I mean there's stuff on the line of executives forum lots

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

01:42:17.160 --> 01:42:21.160
that would be more than happy to help you with all of these things

01:42:21.160 --> 01:42:25.160
the discord age verification thing people are posting about that as well like this is yeah

01:42:25.160 --> 01:42:29.160
this is just another example of like this to me is very

01:42:29.160 --> 01:42:33.160
clearly within the law

01:42:33.160 --> 01:42:37.160
mass data harvesting and it's just

01:42:37.160 --> 01:42:39.160
everywhere now and it's just too much

01:42:41.160 --> 01:42:43.160
just tired of it

01:42:45.160 --> 01:42:49.160
I think I don't have much more to say I think having your own

01:42:49.160 --> 01:42:53.160
NAS is going to go from a thing that weird pirates do

01:42:53.160 --> 01:42:57.160
to a thing that just is like a normal thing that people

01:42:57.160 --> 01:43:01.160
should do if they care about the privacy at all

01:43:01.160 --> 01:43:05.160
I wouldn't be surprised maybe I'm being too in our own bubble

01:43:05.160 --> 01:43:09.160
about this but I wouldn't be surprised if in a certain amount of time

01:43:09.160 --> 01:43:13.160
it's like weird if you don't have some form of your own owned

01:43:13.160 --> 01:43:17.160
large storage I mean

01:43:17.160 --> 01:43:21.160
it's going to get hard with what was it?

01:43:21.160 --> 01:43:25.160
was it WD who said all of their hold on

01:43:25.160 --> 01:43:29.160
hard drive you know what let's jump right into this topic then

01:43:29.160 --> 01:43:33.160
hard drive capacity for western digital is sold out

01:43:33.160 --> 01:43:37.160
for 2026 WD's CEO revealed

01:43:37.160 --> 01:43:41.160
during the company earnings call that they're pretty much sold out of HDD production

01:43:41.160 --> 01:43:45.160
capacity for all of this calendar year with firm purchase orders from their

01:43:45.160 --> 01:43:49.160
top seven customers WD has also signed long term

01:43:49.160 --> 01:43:53.160
agreements LTA's with two customers that extend into

01:43:53.160 --> 01:43:57.160
2027 and one into 2028

01:43:57.160 --> 01:44:01.160
this demand is driven driven almost entirely by AI

01:44:01.160 --> 01:44:05.160
data centers cloud revenue now accounts for

01:44:05.160 --> 01:44:09.160
89% of WD's total revenue

01:44:09.160 --> 01:44:13.160
while consumer revenue has shrunk to just

01:44:13.160 --> 01:44:17.160
5% let's take a moment

01:44:17.160 --> 01:44:21.160
and wrap our brains around that

01:44:21.160 --> 01:44:25.160
and obviously it doesn't quite work like this but at the western

01:44:25.160 --> 01:44:29.160
digital factory okay as the drives

01:44:29.160 --> 01:44:33.160
are rolling along the conveyor and dropping into the bucket at the

01:44:33.160 --> 01:44:37.160
end of the conveyor those drives they're all done now

01:44:37.160 --> 01:44:41.160
one out of 20 is destined for a consumer

01:44:45.160 --> 01:44:49.160
what 19

01:44:49.160 --> 01:44:53.160
out of those 20 so for every hard drive

01:44:53.160 --> 01:44:57.160
you see in a consumer system shipping today

01:44:57.160 --> 01:45:01.160
19 more are going elsewhere

01:45:01.160 --> 01:45:05.160
with 18 of them headed to the data center

01:45:05.160 --> 01:45:07.160
to the cloud

01:45:09.160 --> 01:45:13.160
hard drive prices have already surged nearly 50%

01:45:13.160 --> 01:45:17.160
in the last 5 months according to Tom's hardware following a similar pattern

01:45:17.160 --> 01:45:21.160
to RAM and NAND which are also in shortage

01:45:21.160 --> 01:45:25.160
because of the current AI build out yeah I forget this out

01:45:25.160 --> 01:45:29.160
unintentionally I was trying to help someone configure a build and the

01:45:29.160 --> 01:45:33.160
performance like was not

01:45:33.160 --> 01:45:37.160
very important so I actually recommended

01:45:37.160 --> 01:45:41.160
the core most important thing was hard drive so I recommend

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

01:45:45.160 --> 01:45:49.160
oh everything's really high

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

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

01:45:57.160 --> 01:46:01.160
always super vibrant for everything so it's like okay let's

01:46:01.160 --> 01:46:05.160
jump on stores because I've seen literally during scrap yard wars yeah where it's

01:46:05.160 --> 01:46:09.160
actually cheaper to just buy a new drive sometimes which is whack yeah like that has

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

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

01:46:17.160 --> 01:46:21.160
oh no it's coming again isn't it I found three WD greens

01:46:21.160 --> 01:46:25.160
two terabytes each from um

01:46:25.160 --> 01:46:29.160
just to give you some idea of how old they are they have archived footage from

01:46:29.160 --> 01:46:33.160
when we were at the Langley house on them they were the old cold storage

01:46:33.160 --> 01:46:37.160
drives yeah so each of them only has I think

01:46:37.160 --> 01:46:41.160
around a few dozen power on and off cycles and like

01:46:41.160 --> 01:46:43.160
a couple hundred power on hours

01:46:45.160 --> 01:46:49.160
I bet those are worth close today

01:46:49.160 --> 01:46:53.160
to what they were worth then which is so

01:46:53.160 --> 01:46:57.160
messed up completely wackadoodle

01:46:57.160 --> 01:47:01.160
Dan chime up say it

01:47:01.160 --> 01:47:05.160
yeah sure I didn't want to interrupt no but yeah my uh

01:47:05.160 --> 01:47:09.160
my ass is they're nearing their five year kind of scary age

01:47:09.160 --> 01:47:13.160
and I have five 15 terabytes in there

01:47:15.160 --> 01:47:19.160
I'm gonna be poor how much is that gonna run you right now

01:47:19.160 --> 01:47:23.160
oh my god Luke please check Luke I'm working on it I have

01:47:23.160 --> 01:47:27.160
a WD green is worth 80 bucks

01:47:27.160 --> 01:47:31.160
for a two terabyte that's nuts okay so no they're not as bad

01:47:31.160 --> 01:47:35.160
as they would have been like 12 years ago or whatever but that's

01:47:35.160 --> 01:47:39.160
too much to be paying for a two terabyte drive you said 15 terabytes Dan

01:47:39.160 --> 01:47:43.160
Seagate Barracuda is what I have in there right now or Exos

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

01:47:47.160 --> 01:47:51.160
okay okay in fairness four terabyte drives are around

01:47:51.160 --> 01:47:55.160
the same price here's one from Seagate for 90 bucks but he needs

01:47:55.160 --> 01:47:59.160
15s no no I know I'm just talking about those stupid greens

01:47:59.160 --> 01:48:03.160
is this a phase where you would expect to upgrade are you looking for 20s

01:48:03.160 --> 01:48:07.160
if there's 20s I didn't do the math recently because power on ours

01:48:07.160 --> 01:48:11.160
weren't getting too crazy but like I got to think

01:48:11.160 --> 01:48:15.160
about it I was looking at SSDs and

01:48:15.160 --> 01:48:19.160
remortgaging my left kidney yeah that's uh

01:48:19.160 --> 01:48:23.160
so yeah 18s for like a red pro nas drive

01:48:23.160 --> 01:48:27.160
is 400 dollars that's probably cheaper than it used to be

01:48:27.160 --> 01:48:31.160
I'm seeing I'm seeing four to four to seven hundred

01:48:31.160 --> 01:48:35.160
dollars depending on the models yeah that sounds about the same

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

01:48:39.160 --> 01:48:43.160
15 right now the 20 the 20 terabyte is 420 nice

01:48:43.160 --> 01:48:47.160
um okay so I'm fine sick you're fine

01:48:47.160 --> 01:48:51.160
oh really you're buying 15 I mean that's still

01:48:51.160 --> 01:48:55.160
that's still too grand and this is us dollars sir okay that's

01:48:55.160 --> 01:48:59.160
because I remember paying about 400 bucks a drive

01:48:59.160 --> 01:49:03.160
five years ago yeah sorry Canadian I'm seeing on the Canadian site

01:49:03.160 --> 01:49:07.160
I'm seeing iron wolf pro 20 terabytes for 600 bucks

01:49:07.160 --> 01:49:11.160
okay that's not that far off he's getting 30 percent more capacity

01:49:11.160 --> 01:49:15.160
for about 30 percent more it's not better

01:49:15.160 --> 01:49:19.160
it's not like it used to be the price was always the same

01:49:19.160 --> 01:49:23.160
where the price would always go down per Gigabyte

01:49:23.160 --> 01:49:27.160
but we talked about this it keeps coming back to that bloody video I made

01:49:27.160 --> 01:49:31.160
where I was like YouTube premium should cost more money or whatever

01:49:31.160 --> 01:49:35.160
what was the premise of that but basically I was like hey look

01:49:35.160 --> 01:49:39.160
you gotta understand Moore's law is dead the law of

01:49:39.160 --> 01:49:43.160
storage being cheaper is dead this platform costs more and more

01:49:43.160 --> 01:49:47.160
and more and more to maintain people use it something's gotta give

01:49:49.160 --> 01:49:53.160
well it looks like I'm not as homeless as I thought it was gonna be

01:49:53.160 --> 01:49:57.160
just a little bit John McGee 1996 asks is this gonna get worse

01:49:57.160 --> 01:50:01.160
or is there any indication of balancing out type of situation hold on just give me

01:50:01.160 --> 01:50:03.160
one second

01:50:05.160 --> 01:50:09.160
you can't see it but this is

01:50:11.160 --> 01:50:15.160
just gonna polish my ball here the gaze into it

01:50:15.160 --> 01:50:19.160
consult the orb we're going full gaze here

01:50:23.160 --> 01:50:25.160
I don't know

01:50:29.160 --> 01:50:33.160
I thought you were gonna give some whole impassioned speech about

01:50:33.160 --> 01:50:37.160
trying to tell the future and stuff and then I don't know

01:50:37.160 --> 01:50:41.160
that was good and the thing is

01:50:41.160 --> 01:50:45.160
like obviously I was kicking myself for not just stockpiling

01:50:45.160 --> 01:50:49.160
a bunch of DRAM but I've been in this industry for so long

01:50:49.160 --> 01:50:53.160
do you know how many times I've heard DRAMs going up

01:50:53.160 --> 01:50:57.160
it's going up and like what for a month or two it'll trend up

01:50:57.160 --> 01:51:01.160
for a little bit maybe for a quarter or two but it always

01:51:01.160 --> 01:51:05.160
it always comes back down because at the end of the day it's

01:51:05.160 --> 01:51:09.160
people who they earn their money

01:51:09.160 --> 01:51:13.160
working on all the forecasting for all this crap years in advance

01:51:13.160 --> 01:51:17.160
that mostly have done a pretty good job over the years of predicting

01:51:17.160 --> 01:51:21.160
where demand and supply is going to go and making sure that they're striking

01:51:21.160 --> 01:51:25.160
a balance between maintaining the profitability of their fabs and also

01:51:25.160 --> 01:51:29.160
not over supplying or not under supplying the market

01:51:29.160 --> 01:51:33.160
making sure that they can supply all their big customers including direct to

01:51:33.160 --> 01:51:37.160
consumers and I don't think there's a precedent

01:51:37.160 --> 01:51:41.160
for them f***ing it up this badly nobody saw this boom

01:51:41.160 --> 01:51:45.160
coming and there is no quick fix there's no like oh well let's

01:51:45.160 --> 01:51:49.160
just I'm trying to think of a game where you

01:51:49.160 --> 01:51:53.160
were built yeah ANO there's no ANO just plopping down

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

01:51:57.160 --> 01:52:01.160
is fixed it just doesn't work like that so

01:52:01.160 --> 01:52:05.160
I don't know because the bubble could pop and if the bubble

01:52:05.160 --> 01:52:09.160
pops all these purchase orders

01:52:09.160 --> 01:52:13.160
just be sitting there they as far as

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

01:52:17.160 --> 01:52:21.160
what's that famous saying if you owe the the bank

01:52:21.160 --> 01:52:25.160
a thousand dollars you have a problem if you if you owe the bank

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

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

01:52:33.160 --> 01:52:37.160
problem yeah and so that quote something along those lines and in the same way

01:52:37.160 --> 01:52:41.160
like if if this whole thing just

01:52:41.160 --> 01:52:45.160
crashes there's literally going to be no one to

01:52:45.160 --> 01:52:49.160
you know fulfill this one trillion dollar RAM order

01:52:49.160 --> 01:52:53.160
or you know whatever whatever magic on on paper money

01:52:53.160 --> 01:52:57.160
has been exchanged in advance or whatever commitments have been made so

01:52:57.160 --> 01:53:01.160
if anything there will be a huge crash in the

01:53:01.160 --> 01:53:05.160
pricing of this stuff and it'll be it'll be a free RAM for

01:53:05.160 --> 01:53:09.160
all but when that will happen

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

01:53:15.160 --> 01:53:19.160
finance guy right like I'm I'm a tech nuts and bolts

01:53:19.160 --> 01:53:23.160
guy from my point of view we should have all figured

01:53:23.160 --> 01:53:27.160
out that this is not going to result in the kind of

01:53:27.160 --> 01:53:31.160
the kind of revenue generation that would justify the investment

01:53:31.160 --> 01:53:35.160
that's going into it ages ago

01:53:35.160 --> 01:53:39.160
we should already be there so I'm just sitting here going well

01:53:39.160 --> 01:53:43.160
can I stay solvent longer than the market

01:53:43.160 --> 01:53:45.160
can stay irrational

01:53:47.160 --> 01:53:49.160
the answer is no

01:53:51.160 --> 01:53:55.160
yeah Dan check your email full planchats cooking

01:53:55.160 --> 01:53:57.160
are they finding them deals

01:53:59.160 --> 01:54:03.160
or I think I might actually just need four which is kind of nice

01:54:03.160 --> 01:54:07.160
sick get shocked

01:54:07.160 --> 01:54:11.160
mega cool asks hey question

01:54:11.160 --> 01:54:15.160
are tariffs responsible for this consumer hardware shortage at all or is it really just

01:54:15.160 --> 01:54:19.160
because of stupid AI tariffs aren't helping

01:54:19.160 --> 01:54:23.160
yeah but it's a shortage globally

01:54:23.160 --> 01:54:27.160
yes so like tariffs are not helping

01:54:27.160 --> 01:54:31.160
I can tell you that much but the shortage is

01:54:31.160 --> 01:54:35.160
a much more macro problem that is not to do with

01:54:35.160 --> 01:54:39.160
a tantrum that a particular world leader is having at a particular

01:54:39.160 --> 01:54:43.160
moment does this affect you guys as a channel absolutely

01:54:43.160 --> 01:54:47.160
in like so many ways constantly and every day

01:54:47.160 --> 01:54:51.160
this hobby has never been more difficult to get into

01:54:51.160 --> 01:54:55.160
ah no I actually wouldn't say that ring true it's

01:54:55.160 --> 01:54:59.160
even more frustrating to participate in yes I'll say

01:54:59.160 --> 01:55:03.160
that yeah it was definitely a lot more difficult to get into in the

01:55:03.160 --> 01:55:07.160
like much more further past in the 80 days yeah like where would you find

01:55:07.160 --> 01:55:11.160
resources to to learn to I mean there was laptops that were $3,000

01:55:11.160 --> 01:55:15.160
in like the early 90s you go way back to like the hobbyist days

01:55:15.160 --> 01:55:19.160
yeah and I mean never mind even from a pricing standpoint

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

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

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

01:55:31.160 --> 01:55:35.160
Costco and we brought a we bought a great computer for like 1250

01:55:35.160 --> 01:55:39.160
US or something like that very capable little gaming machine

01:55:39.160 --> 01:55:43.160
am 5 like like modern platform gaming

01:55:43.160 --> 01:55:47.160
machine with the was a 9600 I think it was the

01:55:47.160 --> 01:55:51.160
I think it was the XT 9600 XT perfectly

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

01:55:55.160 --> 01:55:59.160
and and that's really great it's really amazing that you can

01:55:59.160 --> 01:56:03.160
you can get into it like that but it's also really

01:56:03.160 --> 01:56:07.160
frustrating that we had it so good for so long

01:56:07.160 --> 01:56:11.160
and it's been it feels like it's been torn

01:56:11.160 --> 01:56:15.160
out of our fingers and the reason the reason

01:56:15.160 --> 01:56:19.160
is the hard part like if if Moore's law was just dead

01:56:19.160 --> 01:56:23.160
and everyone was doing their earnest best to overcome

01:56:23.160 --> 01:56:27.160
it and the answer was fake frames I think everyone

01:56:27.160 --> 01:56:31.160
would go okay sure

01:56:33.160 --> 01:56:37.160
but not everyone but I yeah not everyone but you I think

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

01:56:41.160 --> 01:56:45.160
and the reason that we're going the direction that we're going is because

01:56:45.160 --> 01:56:49.160
you know I don't know if you Sam Altman needs more RAM

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

01:56:53.160 --> 01:56:57.160
to get excited about I also think

01:56:57.160 --> 01:57:01.160
that I mean if if companies like WD

01:57:01.160 --> 01:57:05.160
are having 5% of their revenue be consumer

01:57:05.160 --> 01:57:09.160
and you see more patterns like what micron did happening where these

01:57:09.160 --> 01:57:11.160
where these

01:57:15.160 --> 01:57:19.160
traditionally known in the western market brands

01:57:19.160 --> 01:57:23.160
that's all I'll say it start kind of exiting

01:57:23.160 --> 01:57:27.160
I'm not saying western digital is exiting but micron did for reasons that western digital

01:57:27.160 --> 01:57:31.160
is experiencing so it wouldn't be unreasonable to see other brands

01:57:31.160 --> 01:57:35.160
do a similar thing I think

01:57:35.160 --> 01:57:39.160
maybe in a really weird way one of the saviors of the desktop

01:57:39.160 --> 01:57:43.160
PC market might be

01:57:43.160 --> 01:57:47.160
China because

01:57:47.160 --> 01:57:51.160
there is a consumer market yeah definitely so like if certain

01:57:51.160 --> 01:57:55.160
brands are just going well all the monies in

01:57:55.160 --> 01:57:59.160
data center well that's not true

01:57:59.160 --> 01:58:03.160
it's just there's a crazy amount of money in data center so like

01:58:03.160 --> 01:58:07.160
I don't know somebody's going to step in

01:58:07.160 --> 01:58:11.160
and there's a lot of very hungry Chinese companies trying to

01:58:11.160 --> 01:58:15.160
get into computer components so like I think it was

01:58:15.160 --> 01:58:17.160
hardware unboxed that made a video on

01:58:19.160 --> 01:58:23.160
one of the Chinese DRAM companies

01:58:25.160 --> 01:58:27.160
hardware unboxed

01:58:29.160 --> 01:58:33.160
CM rcx rather hold on

01:58:33.160 --> 01:58:37.160
cxmt xmt

01:58:37.160 --> 01:58:41.160
ymtc I think one of them did a

01:58:41.160 --> 01:58:45.160
yeah 32 gig king bank

01:58:45.160 --> 01:58:49.160
kfrw ddr5 6000 cl36

01:58:49.160 --> 01:58:53.160
soreblade cxmt review hardware unboxed

01:58:53.160 --> 01:58:57.160
and it was like fine I guess

01:58:57.160 --> 01:59:01.160
that could help but

01:59:01.160 --> 01:59:05.160
I don't think they have a ton of capacity at least not right now

01:59:05.160 --> 01:59:09.160
not right now not right now I'm not talking about right now

01:59:09.160 --> 01:59:13.160
but that's the thing about China is how long

01:59:13.160 --> 01:59:17.160
did it take them to build hospitals during covid like days or something

01:59:17.160 --> 01:59:21.160
um China builds hospital

01:59:21.160 --> 01:59:25.160
in 10 days that was nuts

01:59:25.160 --> 01:59:29.160
that is nuts that is nuts

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

01:59:33.160 --> 01:59:37.160
but like if there's opportunity there somebody's going to chase it

01:59:37.160 --> 01:59:41.160
and if the traditional brands are going data center it doesn't mean consumers

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

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

01:59:49.160 --> 01:59:53.160
selling to consumers and I think consumers are probably less

01:59:53.160 --> 01:59:57.160
able than data center is

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

02:00:01.160 --> 02:00:05.160
of like nobody was fired for buying IBM yeah dude AMD has been

02:00:05.160 --> 02:00:09.160
well okay it's not as cut and dried as AMD has been better than Intel

02:00:09.160 --> 02:00:13.160
in server for years but they've been a very compelling

02:00:13.160 --> 02:00:17.160
option compared to Intel for years and years now

02:00:17.160 --> 02:00:21.160
and how slowly that market share shifts compared to consumers

02:00:21.160 --> 02:00:25.160
who just seem to be able to are willing to pivot a lot faster

02:00:25.160 --> 02:00:29.160
it's less relationship and contract forecasting driven it's more like

02:00:29.160 --> 02:00:33.160
I go and I see what's what's good right now

02:00:33.160 --> 02:00:37.160
it's like recommended by my enthusiast buddy I want more FPS you know

02:00:37.160 --> 02:00:41.160
like it's a very different decision making process SuperWisk says

02:00:41.160 --> 02:00:45.160
how long until NVIDIA just gives up on GeForce I

02:00:45.160 --> 02:00:49.160
don't think they will and my reason for that is largely

02:00:49.160 --> 02:00:53.160
geopolitical really

02:00:53.160 --> 02:00:57.160
I think they are much more geopolitical than

02:00:57.160 --> 02:01:01.160
a lot of the other brands I think I think in my opinion

02:01:01.160 --> 02:01:05.160
NVIDIA is extremely invested in Taiwan's

02:01:05.160 --> 02:01:09.160
market dominance and wants to

02:01:09.160 --> 02:01:13.160
hold themselves there but why do they need gaming for that

02:01:13.160 --> 02:01:17.160
because I think they would take anything they can

02:01:17.160 --> 02:01:21.160
and if they can take data center and gaming

02:01:21.160 --> 02:01:25.160
and anything else I think they'll grab it and hold on to it

02:01:25.160 --> 02:01:29.160
I think they will continue to make gaming GPUs but for a different

02:01:29.160 --> 02:01:33.160
reason I think that for many years the gaming

02:01:33.160 --> 02:01:37.160
R&D fueled the data center products

02:01:37.160 --> 02:01:41.160
and now we're seeing that kind of flip around

02:01:41.160 --> 02:01:45.160
where the data center R&D on things like machine learning

02:01:45.160 --> 02:01:49.160
is fueling advancements on the gaming side

02:01:49.160 --> 02:01:53.160
but I I think it's less about

02:01:53.160 --> 02:01:57.160
geopolitics and I think it's less about

02:01:57.160 --> 02:02:01.160
Taiwan and for me I think it's more about tradition

02:02:01.160 --> 02:02:05.160
I think there's at least as long as NVIDIA's leadership remains

02:02:05.160 --> 02:02:09.160
as it is I think there's a lot of ego

02:02:09.160 --> 02:02:13.160
and a lot of pride and I don't necessarily even mean those

02:02:13.160 --> 02:02:17.160
negative ways I think that

02:02:17.160 --> 02:02:21.160
GeForce dominates gaming is a point of personal pride

02:02:21.160 --> 02:02:25.160
and part of the origin story of NVIDIA

02:02:25.160 --> 02:02:29.160
this is definitely part if not the majority of it

02:02:29.160 --> 02:02:33.160
if anyone were to challenge NVIDIA in what has been traditionally

02:02:33.160 --> 02:02:37.160
for the longest period their stomping ground

02:02:37.160 --> 02:02:41.160
I think NVIDIA sees the gaming market as

02:02:41.160 --> 02:02:45.160
basically their birthright at this point and fuck anyone who tries

02:02:45.160 --> 02:02:49.160
to take it from them I think they would cut open

02:02:49.160 --> 02:02:53.160
their money bags and bleed it rather than lose their dominant market

02:02:53.160 --> 02:02:57.160
sharing gaming quite frankly because we've seen them do it when AMD was competitive

02:02:57.160 --> 02:03:01.160
they were willing to do anything sometimes it wasn't even just

02:03:01.160 --> 02:03:05.160
to sell more GeForce it was to just fuck over anyone

02:03:05.160 --> 02:03:09.160
who tries to dare sell a graphics card and I don't even necessarily

02:03:09.160 --> 02:03:13.160
again I don't even necessarily mean that in like a negative way

02:03:13.160 --> 02:03:17.160
I mean that in a highly competitive way

02:03:17.160 --> 02:03:21.160
they've done stuff that I would describe as anti-competitive

02:03:21.160 --> 02:03:25.160
but what I'm talking about right now is the competitive spirit of NVIDIA

02:03:25.160 --> 02:03:29.160
and sometimes that competitive spirit can lead them to do things that are anti-competitive

02:03:29.160 --> 02:03:33.160
but it's not what I'm talking about right now it also feels like

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

02:03:39.160 --> 02:03:43.160
NVIDIA feels very raw raw

02:03:43.160 --> 02:03:47.160
oh yeah I mean I think Jensen takes it personally when like he loses market share

02:03:47.160 --> 02:03:51.160
yeah and that kind of passion

02:03:51.160 --> 02:03:55.160
is important from a leader it's probably not a small part

02:03:55.160 --> 02:03:59.160
of NVIDIA's ongoing success I mean pointed a company

02:03:59.160 --> 02:04:03.160
that has executed so consistently

02:04:03.160 --> 02:04:07.160
for like 20 plus years NVIDIA founded it was like 1990

02:04:07.160 --> 02:04:11.160
people also like notoriously don't quit and like they have this

02:04:11.160 --> 02:04:13.160
internal culture of like

02:04:15.160 --> 02:04:19.160
reeducation and internal classes that you can take and stuff because they

02:04:19.160 --> 02:04:23.160
feel yeah it's all very interesting

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

02:04:27.160 --> 02:04:31.160
but yeah I mean you can't deny that they're winners

02:04:31.160 --> 02:04:33.160
yeah

02:04:35.160 --> 02:04:39.160
speaking of winners you can be a winner

02:04:39.160 --> 02:04:43.160
by um

02:04:43.160 --> 02:04:47.160
learning about check out messages or calm

02:04:47.160 --> 02:04:49.160
sorry it took me a second to remember what they're called now

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

02:04:55.160 --> 02:04:59.160
show is of course not through super chats

02:04:59.160 --> 02:05:03.160
not through twitch bits but through check out messages

02:05:03.160 --> 02:05:07.160
I believe that when you throw money at your screen you should get something

02:05:07.160 --> 02:05:11.160
in return and in our case

02:05:11.160 --> 02:05:15.160
it's high quality merchandise from lttstore.com and the product we're launching

02:05:15.160 --> 02:05:19.160
this week is kind of a funny story

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

02:05:23.160 --> 02:05:27.160
shout out to Matthew on the fashion team for coming up with the name because

02:05:27.160 --> 02:05:31.160
it's kind of genius um there may

02:05:31.160 --> 02:05:35.160
or there may not be an LTX logo under the cat

02:05:35.160 --> 02:05:39.160
patch you can't see it which means it's in a state

02:05:39.160 --> 02:05:43.160
of superposition until someone does something to test that theory

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

02:05:47.160 --> 02:05:51.160
your hoodie if you've been around since the LTX

02:05:51.160 --> 02:05:55.160
days you will recognize the tie-dye base of this particular

02:05:55.160 --> 02:05:59.160
hoodie this is officially the last of those finally

02:05:59.160 --> 02:06:03.160
we're done and for anyone newer it's our 100% french

02:06:03.160 --> 02:06:07.160
terry cotton hoodie soft breathable structured and now featuring

02:06:07.160 --> 02:06:11.160
this schrodinger's cat patch on top you can find it live

02:06:11.160 --> 02:06:15.160
now at LMG.gg slash cat patch

02:06:15.160 --> 02:06:19.160
hoodie so the reason for these is that our first

02:06:19.160 --> 02:06:23.160
batch of LTX 23 hoodies had the LTX

02:06:23.160 --> 02:06:27.160
logo crooked it was aligned to and you know what

02:06:27.160 --> 02:06:31.160
seriously our printer has done so many perfect prints

02:06:31.160 --> 02:06:35.160
for us over the years that I don't even I don't even blame him

02:06:35.160 --> 02:06:39.160
because it was aligned to something but then something

02:06:39.160 --> 02:06:43.160
about the way the garment fit meant that when you wore it it was like

02:06:43.160 --> 02:06:47.160
angled it was angled off the relative to the floor

02:06:47.160 --> 02:06:51.160
and so we had to reprint all

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

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

02:06:59.160 --> 02:07:03.160
we spent years trying to figure out what the heck

02:07:03.160 --> 02:07:07.160
to do with those hoodies no the logo was not sewn on it was

02:07:07.160 --> 02:07:11.160
silk screened so the cat patch being sewn on is new it's an

02:07:11.160 --> 02:07:15.160
upgrade look at this quality cat patch I think this was Lisa's handiwork

02:07:15.160 --> 02:07:19.160
isn't it adorable anyway

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

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

02:07:29.160 --> 02:07:33.160
showed you guys how to find it on the site and next he's going to

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

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

02:07:41.160 --> 02:07:45.160
com a checkout message bloody hell

02:07:45.160 --> 02:07:49.160
okay all you got to do is add anything to your cart

02:07:49.160 --> 02:07:53.160
say for example the off-site laptop bag in a

02:07:53.160 --> 02:07:57.160
small size cool neat view cart and there it is the checkout

02:07:57.160 --> 02:08:01.160
message interface that will go to producer Dan who will

02:08:01.160 --> 02:08:05.160
put it up on stream or he will respond to

02:08:05.160 --> 02:08:09.160
it or he will curate it for me and

02:08:09.160 --> 02:08:13.160
Luke to respond to Dan should we show them a couple checkout messages

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

02:08:17.160 --> 02:08:21.160
hey DLL question for Linus do you guys have a product list from

02:08:21.160 --> 02:08:25.160
oldest to newest would be useful for my project

02:08:25.160 --> 02:08:29.160
we are launching a new version of the site I believe

02:08:29.160 --> 02:08:33.160
in Q2 I think that's the current roadmap and then

02:08:33.160 --> 02:08:37.160
once that's done we're going to be working on a product archive

02:08:37.160 --> 02:08:41.160
and once that's done we're going to be working on a way to allow

02:08:41.160 --> 02:08:45.160
people to kind of vote maybe once a quarter or a couple times a year

02:08:45.160 --> 02:08:49.160
on the top products they'd like to see us bring back

02:08:49.160 --> 02:08:53.160
because I know it's been an ongoing problem with LTT Store that we're always

02:08:53.160 --> 02:08:57.160
moving forward never

02:08:57.160 --> 02:09:01.160
restocking things that are gone and I think that's something that would

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

02:09:05.160 --> 02:09:09.160
ever made that's not really realistic but we can bring back some

02:09:09.160 --> 02:09:13.160
if there's enough demand for them Luke Nukem

02:09:13.160 --> 02:09:17.160
that's a the shirt

02:09:17.160 --> 02:09:21.160
that one's not coming back you should have gotten one when you had

02:09:21.160 --> 02:09:25.160
the chance I wear mine actually quite regularly on weekends

02:09:25.160 --> 02:09:29.160
so like not every product will be available to vote on then

02:09:29.160 --> 02:09:33.160
like your super special ones it would be there but that's never going to win

02:09:33.160 --> 02:09:37.160
it's not going to get enough votes we did not

02:09:37.160 --> 02:09:41.160
we saw the sales numbers we did not sell many of those

02:09:41.160 --> 02:09:45.160
hey Luke, Linus and Dan Adelaide, Australia

02:09:45.160 --> 02:09:49.160
what do you think of the new Pokemon fire red leaf green

02:09:49.160 --> 02:09:53.160
release for Switch and Switch 2 news that dropped in the last 24

02:09:53.160 --> 02:09:57.160
errs did they seriously not put a space

02:09:57.160 --> 02:10:01.160
between two different words fred

02:10:01.160 --> 02:10:03.160
so this is the Colton edition

02:10:05.160 --> 02:10:09.160
that's just a good joke and leaf green

02:10:09.160 --> 02:10:13.160
yeah what are they? are they games?

02:10:13.160 --> 02:10:17.160
are they the same game again? capture wild Pokemon and recapture

02:10:17.160 --> 02:10:21.160
the nostalgic feel of the Game Boy Advance system when the Pokemon fire red

02:10:21.160 --> 02:10:25.160
version and leaf green version games return for the first time in over 20 years

02:10:25.160 --> 02:10:29.160
on the Nintendo Switch also playable on Switch 2 just in time for Pokemon day

02:10:31.160 --> 02:10:35.160
there's a lot to unpack here in these Nintendo Switch versions

02:10:35.160 --> 02:10:39.160
of the 2004 remakes of the first

02:10:39.160 --> 02:10:43.160
Pokemon games, red and Pokemon green so this is

02:10:43.160 --> 02:10:47.160
sorry, these are halfway to Skyrim right now

02:10:47.160 --> 02:10:51.160
for your toaster these are remakes of

02:10:51.160 --> 02:10:55.160
remakes it's a $20 GBA game and every language

02:10:55.160 --> 02:10:57.160
is a unique listing on the eShop

02:11:01.160 --> 02:11:05.160
you really do have to catch them all emulators win again I guess

02:11:05.160 --> 02:11:09.160
there's like no way this is not one of the most easily emulated games ever

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

02:11:19.160 --> 02:11:23.160
brain dead easy Pokemon blue master race that's all I have to say about that

02:11:23.160 --> 02:11:27.160
never cared about red or green sorry

02:11:27.160 --> 02:11:31.160
there's another Pokemon comment here somewhere green wasn't like

02:11:31.160 --> 02:11:35.160
you're talking about the previous era oh I'm talking about like original

02:11:35.160 --> 02:11:39.160
game boy yeah yeah yeah yeah wasn't wasn't green like not a

02:11:39.160 --> 02:11:43.160
North American thing I thought it was like Japan only or something maybe all I know

02:11:43.160 --> 02:11:47.160
is Pokemon weird rumor is the only Pokemon game I ever played

02:11:47.160 --> 02:11:51.160
and from every conversation that I've had with a Pokemon fan about it those were

02:11:51.160 --> 02:11:55.160
a choice they were like yep you had the experience yep good job

02:11:55.160 --> 02:11:59.160
and I played it on a Game Boy color emulator so I like

02:11:59.160 --> 02:12:03.160
got to see it in color I think or was it

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

02:12:09.160 --> 02:12:13.160
sure it might not have been you're right green was Japan only yeah okay

02:12:13.160 --> 02:12:17.160
cool so for us it was it was just it was just red and blue

02:12:17.160 --> 02:12:21.160
and then yellow came out and that was like weird and

02:12:21.160 --> 02:12:25.160
yeah growling says real chads played yellow but like yellow

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

02:12:29.160 --> 02:12:33.160
weird red and blue were first whatever whatever

02:12:33.160 --> 02:12:37.160
I still have my cartridge of blue nice solid blue homies yeah

02:12:37.160 --> 02:12:41.160
I got to follow a Pokemon question for you both

02:12:41.160 --> 02:12:45.160
seriously I think yeah I mean might as well have two everybody seems to

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

02:12:49.160 --> 02:12:53.160
okay hi Wancho question for Luke what is your favorite

02:12:53.160 --> 02:12:57.160
Pokemon are you looking forward to the any potential announcements for the series 30th

02:12:57.160 --> 02:13:01.160
anniversary no I'm not looking forward to

02:13:01.160 --> 02:13:05.160
any I know that might suck but like

02:13:05.160 --> 02:13:09.160
I don't tend to like the mainline games anymore

02:13:09.160 --> 02:13:13.160
I actually don't even like the game that I play

02:13:13.160 --> 02:13:17.160
I think Pokemon go is just like objectively a pretty bad game

02:13:17.160 --> 02:13:21.160
other than the fact that it tends to usually

02:13:21.160 --> 02:13:25.160
incentivize going outside and there's so few things

02:13:25.160 --> 02:13:29.160
that do that on your phone and I think that is super super cool

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

02:13:33.160 --> 02:13:37.160
sounds good but the

02:13:37.160 --> 02:13:41.160
concepts around how

02:13:41.160 --> 02:13:45.160
the PVP works I think are terrible I think the rating system

02:13:45.160 --> 02:13:49.160
is in a lot of ways really bad I think the max battle system

02:13:49.160 --> 02:13:53.160
is terrible I think how they deal with catching especially

02:13:53.160 --> 02:13:57.160
things that you technically paid money for in some way is horrible

02:13:57.160 --> 02:14:01.160
I think their event management is just trash

02:14:01.160 --> 02:14:05.160
like in so many ways it's a terrible terrible game

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

02:14:09.160 --> 02:14:13.160
remote rating because of like people who are

02:14:13.160 --> 02:14:17.160
immobilized it's like okay I would highly recommend

02:14:17.160 --> 02:14:21.160
playing anything else because it's a terrible game I guess I'm

02:14:21.160 --> 02:14:25.160
supposed to look over here sorry if you're stuck at home

02:14:25.160 --> 02:14:29.160
there's like near infinite other things you could play that are just

02:14:29.160 --> 02:14:33.160
better like ah you don't need to spend

02:14:33.160 --> 02:14:37.160
money an extra amount of money to be able to play from your couch

02:14:37.160 --> 02:14:41.160
to be able to play a bad game from your couch

02:14:41.160 --> 02:14:45.160
the only good thing about pokemon go is that it gets you outside

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

02:14:49.160 --> 02:14:53.160
just play a better game I would highly recommend

02:14:53.160 --> 02:14:57.160
playing just a definitely better game

02:14:57.160 --> 02:15:01.160
that's my main stance there the mainline pokemon games I bought

02:15:01.160 --> 02:15:05.160
whatever it's called scarlet or something oh man

02:15:05.160 --> 02:15:09.160
because I bought it I've been kind of like forced

02:15:09.160 --> 02:15:13.160
myself to play when I play on my switch it's starting

02:15:13.160 --> 02:15:17.160
to get better the beginning was really really slow and

02:15:17.160 --> 02:15:21.160
it's starting to get a little bit better but still it's like

02:15:21.160 --> 02:15:25.160
I don't know it it is different it's an open world game

02:15:25.160 --> 02:15:29.160
in a more real way than the original pokemon was

02:15:33.160 --> 02:15:37.160
I don't think they're that great hot take I love

02:15:37.160 --> 02:15:39.160
zea I haven't played those ones

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

02:15:45.160 --> 02:15:49.160
announcements I'm not particularly excited I think people in the

02:15:51.160 --> 02:15:55.160
indie scene that are making semi ripoff things

02:15:55.160 --> 02:15:59.160
are doing a much better job with the pokemon IP than pokemon is

02:15:59.160 --> 02:16:03.160
I think that game poke mmo or whatever that was a long time ago

02:16:03.160 --> 02:16:07.160
where you could play in your browser and it was like an mmo of

02:16:07.160 --> 02:16:11.160
fire red or something and you could see all these trainers around

02:16:11.160 --> 02:16:15.160
on the map I'm wondering if full plane chat is going to

02:16:15.160 --> 02:16:19.160
correct me on the name but there was a pixel art game of pokemon

02:16:19.160 --> 02:16:23.160
that was an mmo that I believe was in your browser

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

02:16:29.160 --> 02:16:33.160
pow world was like a really interesting take on pokemon that was actually

02:16:33.160 --> 02:16:37.160
really fun multiplayer in the same world

02:16:37.160 --> 02:16:39.160
wow how has that not really been a thing

02:16:41.160 --> 02:16:45.160
having your pokemon be able to like work with you to build things like super cool

02:16:47.160 --> 02:16:51.160
I think an actually official one for pokemon would have been way better

02:16:51.160 --> 02:16:55.160
and not having the guns and stuff I think have actually would have legitimately been

02:16:55.160 --> 02:16:59.160
better I think pow world needed to do stuff like that in order to

02:16:59.160 --> 02:17:03.160
not infringe too much so hooray that was definitely the right choice

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

02:17:09.160 --> 02:17:13.160
but yeah people are saying poke mmo yeah apparently that

02:17:13.160 --> 02:17:15.160
let me see if I can find it poke mmo

02:17:17.160 --> 02:17:21.160
if there's still more oh they have a website still

02:17:21.160 --> 02:17:25.160
what the heck are they still alive wild

02:17:25.160 --> 02:17:29.160
I thought they got like banned off of the everything

02:17:33.160 --> 02:17:37.160
but yeah like these these experiences made by others

02:17:37.160 --> 02:17:39.160
have been

02:17:41.160 --> 02:17:45.160
better so no I'm not particularly interested about announcements

02:17:45.160 --> 02:17:49.160
favorite pokemon Kadabra my reason for that was

02:17:49.160 --> 02:17:53.160
I never traded back in the day when I had my my pokemon blue

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

02:17:59.160 --> 02:18:03.160
but never really traded and I

02:18:03.160 --> 02:18:07.160
remember above misty's gym you cross the bridge

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

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

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

02:18:19.160 --> 02:18:23.160
and then if you do the the old brutal exp trip

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

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

02:18:31.160 --> 02:18:35.160
Kadabra is sick in those old games

02:18:35.160 --> 02:18:39.160
I found a lot of the pokemon that you either needed to trade to evolve

02:18:39.160 --> 02:18:43.160
or that you had to get in weird ways were some of my favorite ones

02:18:43.160 --> 02:18:47.160
like Gyarados giving that magic harp from the guy who thinks he's scamming you

02:18:47.160 --> 02:18:51.160
and then you turn into a magic harp, fantastic pokemon Kadabra

02:18:51.160 --> 02:18:53.160
Machoke

02:18:55.160 --> 02:18:59.160
Graveler Why do you keep going for like mid tier evolutions of these?

02:18:59.160 --> 02:19:03.160
I was just explaining cause I think we didn't have a link cable or something

02:19:03.160 --> 02:19:07.160
so we couldn't trade to those ones required a trade to evolve

02:19:07.160 --> 02:19:11.160
it was the only way to do it You could get him a champ

02:19:11.160 --> 02:19:15.160
No I don't think so

02:19:15.160 --> 02:19:19.160
I'm pretty sure I thought you had to trade it

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?

02:19:23.160 --> 02:19:25.160
Super effective even

02:19:27.160 --> 02:19:31.160
Am I wrong that they were trade only? Trade only

02:19:31.160 --> 02:19:35.160
Really? I must just remember fighting them or something

02:19:35.160 --> 02:19:39.160
In fairness to me this was like 25 years ago You would have fought them

02:19:39.160 --> 02:19:43.160
I think there's a gym leader that has them or something But yeah

02:19:43.160 --> 02:19:47.160
Machoke you needed to trade in order to get him a champ

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

02:19:51.160 --> 02:19:55.160
Kadabra in order to get Alecazam you had to trade

02:19:55.160 --> 02:19:59.160
in order to get Golem Those are the

02:19:59.160 --> 02:20:03.160
three that I really remember Yeah

02:20:03.160 --> 02:20:07.160
The other really cool one Oh yeah Gengar

02:20:07.160 --> 02:20:11.160
That's why Haunter is my favorite one out of that chain Is because

02:20:11.160 --> 02:20:15.160
to get Gengar you had to trade So I really liked Haunter

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

02:20:19.160 --> 02:20:23.160
And Haunter is also incredibly powerful in those games

02:20:23.160 --> 02:20:27.160
Because Ghost is just like immune to a ton of attacks Which is crazy

02:20:27.160 --> 02:20:31.160
It wasn't a particularly balanced game

02:20:31.160 --> 02:20:35.160
No not at all It was more about selling toys

02:20:35.160 --> 02:20:39.160
Yeah Yeah

02:20:39.160 --> 02:20:43.160
Yeah Kadabra has always been my favorite one He's my hard carry

02:20:43.160 --> 02:20:47.160
Yeah Sammy's favorite Pokemon is Gengar Which is pretty sick

02:20:47.160 --> 02:20:51.160
It's so common for people to be like Charizard or whatever

02:20:51.160 --> 02:20:55.160
Pikachu Yeah Pikachu, Eevee, whatever

02:20:55.160 --> 02:20:59.160
Alright What's your favorite Pokemon?

02:20:59.160 --> 02:21:03.160
When did the Eevee obsession show up? Because

02:21:03.160 --> 02:21:07.160
Is it? Does Eevee feature really prominently in

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

02:21:11.160 --> 02:21:15.160
There's a ton more Eevee evolutions now Oh dude

02:21:15.160 --> 02:21:19.160
I got this Pokemon find and seek

02:21:19.160 --> 02:21:23.160
book for my kids I don't know some relative gave it to us

02:21:23.160 --> 02:21:27.160
It was all like Eevee Who cares about Eevee? I thought it's all

02:21:27.160 --> 02:21:31.160
Pikachu and like Charmander and Charizard and whatnot

02:21:31.160 --> 02:21:35.160
There's also like communities that form behind different Eevees

02:21:35.160 --> 02:21:39.160
Tumblr says Crystal Well Tumblr I think was largely because Sylveon

02:21:39.160 --> 02:21:43.160
is a lot of people in the trans community because Sylveon has the trans colors

02:21:43.160 --> 02:21:47.160
have bannered behind Sylveon But then similarly

02:21:47.160 --> 02:21:51.160
there's like other Pokemon For

02:21:51.160 --> 02:21:55.160
for reasons people like Vaporeon

02:21:55.160 --> 02:21:59.160
There's other stuff going on

02:21:59.160 --> 02:22:03.160
Yeah, but Eevee got more popular like way later on

02:22:03.160 --> 02:22:07.160
I would need to be reminded original sprites let's go

02:22:07.160 --> 02:22:11.160
I need to be reminded of all the original Pokemon before I could pick a favorite

02:22:11.160 --> 02:22:15.160
I also really like Pidgeotto, Pidgeot

02:22:15.160 --> 02:22:19.160
I was about to say I Loki loved my Pidgeot

02:22:19.160 --> 02:22:23.160
They're actually awesome Like late game Pidgeot is actually pretty

02:22:23.160 --> 02:22:27.160
pretty solid I actually kind of loved my

02:22:27.160 --> 02:22:31.160
Raticate I like that. I don't like Raticate

02:22:31.160 --> 02:22:35.160
but I like that you like Raticate. I think that's cool Um

02:22:35.160 --> 02:22:39.160
The Niddo's are pretty sweet Kadabra

02:22:39.160 --> 02:22:43.160
Let's go I was a huge fan of Geodude

02:22:43.160 --> 02:22:47.160
Did not love this Catching early Geodudes? Yeah, me neither

02:22:47.160 --> 02:22:51.160
Didn't care about that Geodude is

02:22:51.160 --> 02:22:55.160
sick when you first recruit him Yeah, exactly. Like he just will one hit

02:22:55.160 --> 02:22:59.160
basically anything just hits so hard. It will take so little

02:22:59.160 --> 02:23:03.160
damage from so many things Okay, I love horses

02:23:03.160 --> 02:23:07.160
so therefore I immediately love Punita, but I just didn't really need it

02:23:07.160 --> 02:23:11.160
because by the time you get this I think you have like a

02:23:11.160 --> 02:23:15.160
pretty solid. Is that even in blue? I thought I thought we had

02:23:15.160 --> 02:23:19.160
Growlith. Maybe not. I don't remember which one. Don't remember which one.

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

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

02:23:27.160 --> 02:23:31.160
have them. There's the old guys. They like their pony dis. Um

02:23:31.160 --> 02:23:35.160
That's why Man, there's more

02:23:35.160 --> 02:23:39.160
than I remember there being. There's a Rihorn Enchoyer in chat. That's based

02:23:39.160 --> 02:23:43.160
That's a based favorite Pokemon.

02:23:45.160 --> 02:23:49.160
These fighting guys are pretty cool, but I never really bothered with them

02:23:55.160 --> 02:23:59.160
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

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.

02:24:03.160 --> 02:24:05.160
They're cool.

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

02:24:11.160 --> 02:24:15.160
you'd have to have a heart of stone to not love it. Yeah, very

02:24:15.160 --> 02:24:19.160
true. Yeah, you know what if I had to

02:24:19.160 --> 02:24:23.160
I really dislike a lot of the modern systems. Um

02:24:23.160 --> 02:24:27.160
I've often talked about how a lot of the

02:24:27.160 --> 02:24:31.160
modern Pokemon systems just make it feel like Digimon to me.

02:24:31.160 --> 02:24:35.160
I don't even know what Digimon is. Mega Mode EX

02:24:35.160 --> 02:24:39.160
I don't like it. Um, but

02:24:41.160 --> 02:24:45.160
but I do think Gigantamax Norlax is awesome.

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

02:24:49.160 --> 02:24:53.160
on him. Hilarious.

02:24:55.160 --> 02:24:59.160
But then they do stuff that's like you might actually like this.

02:24:59.160 --> 02:25:03.160
Gigantamax Meowth is just he's just like

02:25:03.160 --> 02:25:05.160
buildings tall.

02:25:09.160 --> 02:25:13.160
It's all very power rangersy to me. I think that was probably

02:25:13.160 --> 02:25:17.160
my first exposure to like

02:25:17.160 --> 02:25:21.160
Japanese style fighting media

02:25:21.160 --> 02:25:25.160
where the fight has

02:25:25.160 --> 02:25:29.160
three stages every time you fight the putties

02:25:29.160 --> 02:25:33.160
and then you fight the boss and then

02:25:33.160 --> 02:25:37.160
you both level up and you fight again and all of the foreplay was

02:25:37.160 --> 02:25:41.160
completely unnecessary. Yeah, that's totally yeah. Now there's Megas

02:25:41.160 --> 02:25:45.160
and all this other junk it gets a little ridiculous

02:25:45.160 --> 02:25:49.160
and like, okay, I know anytime anytime you make it compare like you look at

02:25:49.160 --> 02:25:53.160
new Pokemon and you're like why is there keys

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

02:25:57.160 --> 02:26:01.160
Gen 1 and there's like some silly garbage

02:26:01.160 --> 02:26:05.160
as well. Is there though? Poragon.

02:26:05.160 --> 02:26:09.160
What's Poragon? He's he's

02:26:09.160 --> 02:26:13.160
yeah. Sorry, what's it called? Poragon.

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.

02:26:17.160 --> 02:26:19.160
How do I spell it? P-O-R-Y-G-O-N

02:26:21.160 --> 02:26:25.160
100% Gen 1. Oh this. What is this? This is my point. He's just like

02:26:25.160 --> 02:26:29.160
he's a duck. He's just like some shapes. No, he's a duck.

02:26:29.160 --> 02:26:33.160
He's a racist duck. What are some other silly Gen 1 Pokemon?

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

02:26:41.160 --> 02:26:45.160
like this is a mouse except it's electric. Hooray.

02:26:45.160 --> 02:26:49.160
Yeah. I mean yeah Machoke is just like a jacked guy.

02:26:49.160 --> 02:26:53.160
There's a jacked like kind of well okay. Mr.

02:26:53.160 --> 02:26:57.160
It's just a creepy guy. Kind of a frog.

02:26:57.160 --> 02:27:01.160
Yeah. And like the gas one is like so that we

02:27:01.160 --> 02:27:05.160
could have like a gaseous thing obviously.

02:27:05.160 --> 02:27:07.160
I have no problem with ghastly personally.

02:27:09.160 --> 02:27:13.160
I thought it was kind of like random. Magnemite is just magnets.

02:27:13.160 --> 02:27:17.160
What's the one that's like? Magneton is just a lot of magnets.

02:27:17.160 --> 02:27:21.160
Yeah. But I think like I am very cool

02:27:21.160 --> 02:27:25.160
with things like Onyx. It's a bunch of rocks in a row.

02:27:25.160 --> 02:27:29.160
Neat. Geodude. It's a single rock. It has arms for some reason.

02:27:29.160 --> 02:27:33.160
I don't care. Neat. I like stuff like that. I don't like

02:27:33.160 --> 02:27:37.160
this is a space demon. Like I

02:27:37.160 --> 02:27:41.160
don't want that. I'm just glad we're all passionate about it.

02:27:41.160 --> 02:27:45.160
I'm glad people have things to be excited about. Like what is that?

02:27:45.160 --> 02:27:49.160
Why is that a Pokemon? I think it's a

02:27:49.160 --> 02:27:51.160
Lobster

02:27:53.160 --> 02:27:55.160
Lobster, Eagle

02:27:57.160 --> 02:28:01.160
Scorpion. Does that as a Gen 1 only

02:28:01.160 --> 02:28:05.160
or does that feel like it belongs in Pokemon? No. Yeah, exactly.

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

02:28:09.160 --> 02:28:13.160
only or because I'm sorry but I just cannot be arsed to collect them

02:28:13.160 --> 02:28:17.160
all more than 151 things. So many more.

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.

02:28:21.160 --> 02:28:25.160
You're welcome. So for the delusional people

02:28:25.160 --> 02:28:29.160
that think there's more than 151 there's apparently 1,025.

02:28:29.160 --> 02:28:33.160
That's crazy. It makes no sense. That is crazy. There's 121.

02:28:33.160 --> 02:28:37.160
151. No, you know what? Forget it.

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.

02:28:41.160 --> 02:28:43.160
Oh, man.

02:28:47.160 --> 02:28:51.160
Okay. How many people did we just bother? 152. Missignal. I like that.

02:28:53.160 --> 02:28:57.160
I like that. No, the glitch doesn't count. I like that. Glitch, please.

02:28:57.160 --> 02:28:59.160
My delusion is that there's 152.

02:29:01.160 --> 02:29:05.160
Alrighty then. What's next?

02:29:05.160 --> 02:29:09.160
First. We had a wedding. We fought about Pokemon.

02:29:09.160 --> 02:29:13.160
First, Apple adopts RCS. Now it tests

02:29:13.160 --> 02:29:17.160
end-to-end encryption. In the latest iOS 26.4 beta

02:29:17.160 --> 02:29:21.160
build, Apple explains that it is now rolling out testing end-to-end encryption

02:29:21.160 --> 02:29:25.160
in RCS messaging on iPhone. Currently not shipping on certain devices and carriers

02:29:25.160 --> 02:29:29.160
but the big news about this was that it is only testing

02:29:29.160 --> 02:29:33.160
the RCS encryption between iPhones. Not between androids.

02:29:33.160 --> 02:29:37.160
They're not saying that they will never support it on Android but

02:29:37.160 --> 02:29:41.160
while other people are super negative about this saying, well, isn't the point

02:29:41.160 --> 02:29:45.160
of RCS end-to-end encryption so that you can have encryption when you're texting

02:29:45.160 --> 02:29:49.160
with an Android acquaintance. I personally am choosing to believe

02:29:49.160 --> 02:29:53.160
that this will this is just the start

02:29:53.160 --> 02:29:57.160
and they will roll into an encryption to Android

02:29:57.160 --> 02:30:01.160
friends at some point and so that's why I cared to talk about it.

02:30:03.160 --> 02:30:07.160
I'm in good faith believing that Apple is going to continue to do

02:30:07.160 --> 02:30:11.160
the right thing and continue to move RCS forward.

02:30:11.160 --> 02:30:15.160
Speaking of good things that I'm super excited about

02:30:15.160 --> 02:30:19.160
Android finally

02:30:19.160 --> 02:30:23.160
after all these years finally f***ing did it.

02:30:27.160 --> 02:30:31.160
Whoa, really? Finally. Android, not like Samsung or something?

02:30:31.160 --> 02:30:35.160
Apparently. I don't care about running a Pixel

02:30:35.160 --> 02:30:39.160
but what I do care about is I want a Sony.

02:30:39.160 --> 02:30:41.160
I want an Xperia.

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

02:30:49.160 --> 02:30:53.160
but when that propagates I am like

02:30:53.160 --> 02:30:57.160
I don't care about running a Pixel but what I do care about

02:30:57.160 --> 02:31:01.160
is I want a Sony. I want an Xperia.

02:31:03.160 --> 02:31:07.160
First in line. I'm going to import an Xperia from Japan

02:31:07.160 --> 02:31:09.160
and I'm so ready. I'm so excited.

02:31:11.160 --> 02:31:15.160
They're so good. Yes, I know Samsung had this for so many years

02:31:15.160 --> 02:31:19.160
but what if I wanted something other than Samsung?

02:31:19.160 --> 02:31:23.160
OnePlus also supports it. I believe nothing supports it. There are vendors that support it

02:31:23.160 --> 02:31:27.160
but Google themselves hasn't supported it and

02:31:27.160 --> 02:31:31.160
Samsung, excuse me, Samsung and Sony to my knowledge

02:31:31.160 --> 02:31:35.160
just kind of sticks as close to stock Android

02:31:35.160 --> 02:31:39.160
as possible and has not supported it

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

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

02:31:47.160 --> 02:31:51.160
and then you can buy one too. Yeah, there was commenters on the reddit

02:31:51.160 --> 02:31:55.160
that were saying it specifically Android 17 and I still haven't

02:31:55.160 --> 02:31:59.160
wiped my old one for you to play with Luke. That's okay.

02:31:59.160 --> 02:32:03.160
Yovo Azido asks, remind me, which side is the right side-Linus?

02:32:03.160 --> 02:32:07.160
You can always tell because

02:32:07.160 --> 02:32:11.160
the left hand makes an L so this is the right

02:32:11.160 --> 02:32:15.160
but if you meant correct side the answer is that there is no correct side

02:32:15.160 --> 02:32:19.160
which is why we need a choice depending on whether you're left or right-handed

02:32:19.160 --> 02:32:23.160
depending on whether you prefer the task switching button

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

02:32:27.160 --> 02:32:31.160
that is completely personal preference and there should never have been any reason

02:32:31.160 --> 02:32:35.160
that you should have had to choose. This is good.

02:32:35.160 --> 02:32:39.160
This is a win for user choice.

02:32:39.160 --> 02:32:43.160
All right. What else we got?

02:32:43.160 --> 02:32:45.160
Let's see here.

02:32:49.160 --> 02:32:53.160
What is this? You want more good news? Why Charge when you can use Why Charge?

02:32:53.160 --> 02:32:57.160
Yeah. A company that has been pioneering wireless charging

02:32:57.160 --> 02:33:01.160
has announced their second batch for their wireless power kit.

02:33:03.160 --> 02:33:07.160
So I did a ShortCircuit on this thing a little while ago

02:33:07.160 --> 02:33:11.160
and the difference and the reason I wanted to highlight it again

02:33:11.160 --> 02:33:15.160
is that it's way cheaper now. It was like a commercial

02:33:15.160 --> 02:33:19.160
only solution not that long ago and now they have support

02:33:19.160 --> 02:33:23.160
for the Schlage encode which is, from my understanding

02:33:23.160 --> 02:33:27.160
a much more popular smart lock. So you just

02:33:27.160 --> 02:33:31.160
take out the battery cover, put on the receiver module boom!

02:33:31.160 --> 02:33:35.160
You never, ever charge your smart lock again.

02:33:35.160 --> 02:33:39.160
You don't put a battery in, you don't have it just randomly die

02:33:39.160 --> 02:33:43.160
at an inopportune time and you have to use a key it just has power forever.

02:33:43.160 --> 02:33:47.160
I've been using my commercial one with the Alfred smart lock at my house

02:33:47.160 --> 02:33:51.160
it just is always charged and will always be charged forever.

02:33:51.160 --> 02:33:55.160
It's super cool. We first covered these guys at Computex

02:33:55.160 --> 02:33:59.160
like 10 years ago and it took them five ever

02:33:59.160 --> 02:34:03.160
to whether it was funding or partnerships or a development

02:34:03.160 --> 02:34:07.160
to get this technology rolling and it's finally

02:34:07.160 --> 02:34:11.160
happening. So they just seem like cool people who are

02:34:11.160 --> 02:34:15.160
finally catching a break and I just wanted to highlight that. Good stuff.

02:34:15.160 --> 02:34:17.160
Oh! This one's less fun.

02:34:19.160 --> 02:34:23.160
The registry from Save the Life

02:34:23.160 --> 02:34:27.160
a pet microchip company became inaccessible

02:34:27.160 --> 02:34:31.160
when the company went out of business in January 2024. For those

02:34:31.160 --> 02:34:35.160
unfamiliar, pet microchips are simple RFID chips that produce

02:34:35.160 --> 02:34:39.160
a unique string of numbers when scanned. Databases like Save the Life

02:34:39.160 --> 02:34:43.160
link that identifier to pet information that vets can access.

02:34:43.160 --> 02:34:47.160
There was apparently very little notice of the shutdown

02:34:47.160 --> 02:34:51.160
leaving many pets unknowingly unidentifiable to vets

02:34:51.160 --> 02:34:55.160
and shelters. Since Inadi Animal Care says it's found

02:34:55.160 --> 02:34:59.160
65 dogs with useless chips only about half of their owners

02:34:59.160 --> 02:35:03.160
were found. Pets registered to Save the Life should re-register their

02:35:03.160 --> 02:35:07.160
chips number with another microchip company which is usually free. This whole

02:35:07.160 --> 02:35:11.160
thing raised a whole bunch of questions for me. Namely, what was

02:35:11.160 --> 02:35:15.160
the f***ing point of putting a microchip in my pets?

02:35:15.160 --> 02:35:19.160
I've microchipped every one of my pets that I've ever had

02:35:19.160 --> 02:35:23.160
thinking that the idea was that they scanned it

02:35:23.160 --> 02:35:27.160
and the information was just there, readable and plain text

02:35:27.160 --> 02:35:31.160
which I don't actually mind if somebody has my cat because I want it back.

02:35:31.160 --> 02:35:35.160
I thought it was too. So this was insane

02:35:35.160 --> 02:35:39.160
to me. I kind of understand like the privacy

02:35:39.160 --> 02:35:43.160
potentially of like an animal is roadkill and you go and you scan the microchip

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.

02:35:47.160 --> 02:35:51.160
Like I, if it's an alternative to a collar

02:35:51.160 --> 02:35:55.160
or a tattoo probably

02:35:55.160 --> 02:35:59.160
plain text would have been fine what was the point of this?

02:35:59.160 --> 02:36:03.160
Yikes. So frustrating.

02:36:03.160 --> 02:36:07.160
I hate that on like multiple levels. Like I had

02:36:07.160 --> 02:36:11.160
hope, you know that when I, when

02:36:11.160 --> 02:36:15.160
the Bengal cats escaped that someone would find them

02:36:15.160 --> 02:36:19.160
and they would eventually even if someone stole them, they would eventually make

02:36:19.160 --> 02:36:23.160
their way to a vet, eventually get scanned and I would eventually be contacted

02:36:23.160 --> 02:36:27.160
but this whole ecosystem is just more stupid and fragmented

02:36:27.160 --> 02:36:31.160
than I could have realized. I guess I could have looked it up

02:36:31.160 --> 02:36:35.160
I could have found this out but I mean

02:36:35.160 --> 02:36:39.160
nowadays we tattoo and microchip our animals and we don't

02:36:39.160 --> 02:36:43.160
let them outside under any circumstances so it hasn't been as much of a problem.

02:36:43.160 --> 02:36:47.160
The Bengals were also just escape artists they just really wanted to get out.

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.

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

02:36:55.160 --> 02:36:59.160
and out and then yeah, anyway that's, that's history at this

02:36:59.160 --> 02:37:03.160
point and it's a lot easier now all of our cats

02:37:03.160 --> 02:37:07.160
that we have right now started their lives outdoors

02:37:07.160 --> 02:37:11.160
and they are like fucking stoked to be inside

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

02:37:15.160 --> 02:37:19.160
for half an hour, like a few weekends ago and

02:37:19.160 --> 02:37:23.160
we were like, ah, panic, cat check everyone find all the cats

02:37:23.160 --> 02:37:27.160
no one went anywhere near it

02:37:27.160 --> 02:37:31.160
especially the boys, brownie and noodle are

02:37:31.160 --> 02:37:35.160
like, they lived outside until

02:37:35.160 --> 02:37:39.160
they were old enough that I was

02:37:39.160 --> 02:37:41.160
worried that they would be difficult to socialize

02:37:43.160 --> 02:37:47.160
Didn't the vet even have a concern about that? I thought there was something

02:37:47.160 --> 02:37:51.160
No, our vet was pretty chill about it No, that was to do with

02:37:51.160 --> 02:37:55.160
whether they had feline HIV and we had to

02:37:55.160 --> 02:37:59.160
Yeah, we had to isolate them from the other cats for quite a while

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

02:38:03.160 --> 02:38:07.160
cats or whatever but yeah, they were

02:38:07.160 --> 02:38:11.160
outdoor cats for quite a while and we caught them with a live trap

02:38:11.160 --> 02:38:15.160
and brought them in and tried to socialize them

02:38:15.160 --> 02:38:19.160
I shouldn't say tried with brownie especially, very much socialized

02:38:19.160 --> 02:38:23.160
noodle is still a little bit skitterish he was a wild

02:38:23.160 --> 02:38:27.160
thing at some point and those guys especially

02:38:27.160 --> 02:38:31.160
are just like nope, they hunted

02:38:31.160 --> 02:38:35.160
they hunted for their food when they were just little boys and they are not

02:38:35.160 --> 02:38:37.160
into it

02:38:39.160 --> 02:38:41.160
Did they go particularly away from it?

02:38:43.160 --> 02:38:47.160
From the door? No, but they do they're like, not interested

02:38:47.160 --> 02:38:51.160
I meant when it was left open or it's like some of the other ones

02:38:51.160 --> 02:38:55.160
the two newer ones they were

02:38:55.160 --> 02:38:59.160
just like little they were born in like a shed

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

02:39:03.160 --> 02:39:07.160
and took care of them and everything so they'll like

02:39:07.160 --> 02:39:11.160
they'll sniff the outside and they'll be like kind of interested in it

02:39:11.160 --> 02:39:15.160
or had the concern of being hunted no, they've never had to deal with that

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

02:39:21.160 --> 02:39:25.160
an outside existing it's a lot easier to take care of them that way

02:39:27.160 --> 02:39:31.160
Hey, do you want to talk about Zillow? Yeah

02:39:31.160 --> 02:39:35.160
Zillow launches a wow themed microsite as a marketing

02:39:35.160 --> 02:39:39.160
as a marketing stunt I saw this in my Google news and went

02:39:39.160 --> 02:39:43.160
and then kept scrolling because I was like there's no way that's actually real

02:39:45.160 --> 02:39:49.160
The experience coincides with wow introducing player housing for the first time

02:39:49.160 --> 02:39:53.160
tied to the upcoming midnight expansion the microsite features both player created

02:39:53.160 --> 02:39:57.160
homes and blizzard built homes some with 3D tours

02:39:57.160 --> 02:40:01.160
in a move that can only be described as savagely realistic

02:40:01.160 --> 02:40:05.160
I can't interface with this You can't actually buy the houses

02:40:05.160 --> 02:40:09.160
but users can hilariously

02:40:09.160 --> 02:40:13.160
claim a free in-game Zillow inspired door mat

02:40:17.160 --> 02:40:21.160
The listings are written in character with fictional Zillow real estate agents

02:40:25.160 --> 02:40:29.160
Given the current affordability and housing crisis, does this seem tone deaf

02:40:29.160 --> 02:40:33.160
on the part of Zillow and blizzard? Is it just fun? It's definitely just fun

02:40:35.160 --> 02:40:39.160
I don't care about it at all but I'm sure it's fun

02:40:39.160 --> 02:40:43.160
for someone but I don't think they're being

02:40:43.160 --> 02:40:47.160
tone deaf dude People are buying houses

02:40:47.160 --> 02:40:49.160
It's just not most people

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

02:40:55.160 --> 02:40:59.160
in the game for free So a door mat is a collectible item

02:40:59.160 --> 02:41:03.160
that's still neat as a free thing part of just a fun random promotional campaign

02:41:05.160 --> 02:41:07.160
I think just don't think about it too much

02:41:11.160 --> 02:41:15.160
The site's responsive again for me now Oh dang it

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

02:41:21.160 --> 02:41:25.160
Good enough The site's working fine for me, that's weird

02:41:25.160 --> 02:41:29.160
Oh here, I'll go to Luke's laptop There you go

02:41:29.160 --> 02:41:33.160
Rugged rustic It's funny because the photos

02:41:33.160 --> 02:41:37.160
and the videos that I'm seeing for these are actually a lot better

02:41:37.160 --> 02:41:41.160
than most of the photos and videos that I see from realtors of actual homes

02:41:41.160 --> 02:41:45.160
It's kind of funny and kind of sad Where's the HDR?

02:41:45.160 --> 02:41:49.160
Yeah really Bektar Don Hamar

02:41:49.160 --> 02:41:51.160
That's actually awesome

02:41:53.160 --> 02:41:57.160
Wow, this is so much There's a floor plan

02:41:57.160 --> 02:42:01.160
We are destroying most realtor posted homes

02:42:01.160 --> 02:42:05.160
Oh my goodness Anything that lacks a floor plan is so

02:42:05.160 --> 02:42:09.160
annoying to me Alright, meet the owner

02:42:09.160 --> 02:42:11.160
That's not very normal

02:42:13.160 --> 02:42:17.160
Neat, fun Oh speaking of neat and fun

02:42:17.160 --> 02:42:21.160
We should talk about what's neat and fun on Flo Plain

02:42:21.160 --> 02:42:25.160
Yes FB announcement, please read all the way through

02:42:25.160 --> 02:42:29.160
before going off topic What?

02:42:29.160 --> 02:42:33.160
I don't think we Let's specifically go on off topic

02:42:33.160 --> 02:42:37.160
That wasn't the problem last time The problem last time was that they put

02:42:37.160 --> 02:42:41.160
information that you needed at the beginning at the end

02:42:41.160 --> 02:42:45.160
This week's theme is How many resources can Sammy steal

02:42:45.160 --> 02:42:49.160
from the company before being fired? Hmm

02:42:49.160 --> 02:42:53.160
We got a deep look inside what a week at LMG looks like

02:42:53.160 --> 02:42:57.160
with some LTT leaks Sammy vlogged his entire week

02:42:57.160 --> 02:43:01.160
showcasing things like how production shoots are scheduled

02:43:01.160 --> 02:43:05.160
the behind the scenes on set our camera setups

02:43:05.160 --> 02:43:09.160
we call it when we do packaging

02:43:09.160 --> 02:43:13.160
so title, thumbnail, that kind of thing It also includes a ton of insider info

02:43:13.160 --> 02:43:17.160
including leaking an entire month of LTT content

02:43:17.160 --> 02:43:19.160
in the first minute

02:43:25.160 --> 02:43:29.160
So that's this video Oh wow, people are loving this video

02:43:29.160 --> 02:43:33.160
Alright Well, I'm glad that it was for something

02:43:33.160 --> 02:43:37.160
We also have a refreshed meet the team

02:43:37.160 --> 02:43:41.160
with Mr. David Pancratz, the technical production assistant

02:43:41.160 --> 02:43:45.160
Sammy made Pancratz fix his PC in this video because if it's for content

02:43:45.160 --> 02:43:49.160
you're allowed to make not IT fix your things

02:43:49.160 --> 02:43:53.160
Okay That's good to know

02:43:53.160 --> 02:43:57.160
as well I think he means his personal computer

02:43:57.160 --> 02:44:01.160
What? Sammy

02:44:01.160 --> 02:44:05.160
I think that's what he means Yeah, that is not a workstation that we

02:44:05.160 --> 02:44:09.160
Yeah Provided to our employees

02:44:09.160 --> 02:44:13.160
It doesn't look like he just fixed it It looks like he upgraded it

02:44:13.160 --> 02:44:17.160
Oh yeah, that's the case from inventory Right

02:44:21.160 --> 02:44:25.160
Okay Where are the lines here?

02:44:25.160 --> 02:44:29.160
Oh, I see, it's signed out to lost We also took in viewer questions

02:44:29.160 --> 02:44:33.160
which we're looking for more questions

02:44:33.160 --> 02:44:37.160
featuring our new writer, Sean Frey We took in viewer questions

02:44:37.160 --> 02:44:41.160
which we're looking for more I have no idea what he's talking about

02:44:41.160 --> 02:44:45.160
And we're looking for more Sure, finally we also have

02:44:45.160 --> 02:44:49.160
an early LTT video that went up a few days ago showcasing the Fluke

02:44:49.160 --> 02:44:53.160
II915 and you would have known this if you were a Floatplane subscriber

02:44:53.160 --> 02:44:57.160
Keep an eye out for more early releases like this one which will release

02:44:57.160 --> 02:45:01.160
right now Oh, we're releasing

02:45:01.160 --> 02:45:05.160
the Costco video That's not David's best thumbnail

02:45:05.160 --> 02:45:09.160
I guess it's too late now Cool

02:45:09.160 --> 02:45:13.160
Linus and David, buy a PC from Costco to answer one question

02:45:13.160 --> 02:45:17.160
Is it the answer to rising PC prices or is it bait?

02:45:17.160 --> 02:45:21.160
I'm going to take the A out there Alright, save

02:45:21.160 --> 02:45:23.160
Boop

02:45:27.160 --> 02:45:31.160
Fill your weekend with fun content Also, we'll have a behind the scenes of

02:45:31.160 --> 02:45:35.160
TMS's wedding sometime next week Seriously?

02:45:35.160 --> 02:45:39.160
Alright Sammy is like the embodiment of

02:45:39.160 --> 02:45:43.160
anything for the content Seriously

02:45:45.160 --> 02:45:49.160
Good stuff. Want to pick a topic? Do we talk about DLSS again?

02:45:49.160 --> 02:45:53.160
There's two DLSS topics It sounds similar

02:45:53.160 --> 02:45:57.160
DLSS is too good now We've talked about this before

02:45:57.160 --> 02:46:01.160
Two Clicks Phillip Posted a video seeing how far they could

02:46:01.160 --> 02:46:05.160
push DLSS while still having a Oh, I've seen this for sure

02:46:05.160 --> 02:46:09.160
A quick recap for those who don't know

02:46:09.160 --> 02:46:13.160
DLSS, really? We're going into that DLSS or Deep Learning Super Sampling

02:46:13.160 --> 02:46:17.160
is NVIDIA's Okay, yeah

02:46:17.160 --> 02:46:21.160
NVIDIA's image generation algorithm that allows gamers to render their games at lower resolutions

02:46:21.160 --> 02:46:25.160
which are then upscaled to a more stable resolution while maintaining

02:46:25.160 --> 02:46:29.160
high frame rates The YouTuber tested Kingdom Come

02:46:29.160 --> 02:46:33.160
Deliverance 2 at 20% render for 4K

02:46:33.160 --> 02:46:37.160
meaning 764x430 all the way down to 1%

02:46:37.160 --> 02:46:41.160
scale or 38x22 just

02:46:41.160 --> 02:46:45.160
38x22 Pixels

02:46:45.160 --> 02:46:49.160
That's it. And it's impressive how well DLSS works now

02:46:49.160 --> 02:46:53.160
and we have a maybe a short thing, but you should go watch the video

02:46:53.160 --> 02:46:57.160
This is mind blowing The fact that that

02:46:57.160 --> 02:47:01.160
you can kind of, you could totally play that is nuts

02:47:01.160 --> 02:47:05.160
You could Not well

02:47:05.160 --> 02:47:09.160
But you could Here is 136x76

02:47:09.160 --> 02:47:13.160
So this is what, like 3% or something?

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%

02:47:17.160 --> 02:47:21.160
in each dimension But you guys should definitely check out this video

02:47:21.160 --> 02:47:25.160
It's got like half a million views because it's awesome

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

02:47:29.160 --> 02:47:33.160
So this is showing the difference between

02:47:33.160 --> 02:47:35.160
This is 3 weeks old. Yeah

02:47:37.160 --> 02:47:41.160
So this is original versus the upscaled one

02:47:41.160 --> 02:47:45.160
It's genuinely pretty fascinating How it can take that

02:47:45.160 --> 02:47:47.160
and turn it into that

02:47:49.160 --> 02:47:53.160
This and turn it into this

02:47:55.160 --> 02:47:59.160
Genuinely incredible Like there's a lot going on

02:47:59.160 --> 02:48:03.160
over here where I would have a hard time telling if this is a

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

02:48:07.160 --> 02:48:11.160
or like what the crap this is supposed to be. How it managed to resolve

02:48:11.160 --> 02:48:15.160
any additional detail in the grass over here

02:48:15.160 --> 02:48:17.160
Mind blowing

02:48:19.160 --> 02:48:23.160
The way it kind of reconstructed the shadows and the lighting

02:48:23.160 --> 02:48:27.160
and the bark here based on this Again

02:48:27.160 --> 02:48:31.160
Mind blowing Pretty impressive. That was it

02:48:31.160 --> 02:48:35.160
Just wanted to highlight that. Go watch 2kliksphilip's video. Super cool video

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

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

02:48:43.160 --> 02:48:47.160
go check it out Really really really cool

02:48:47.160 --> 02:48:51.160
Through the link in the chat. So did Dan Nice. Bookmarked that for later

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

02:48:55.160 --> 02:48:59.160
awesome There's been a new world record set

02:48:59.160 --> 02:49:03.160
for the tiniest QR code This source this time is Tom's Hardware

02:49:03.160 --> 02:49:07.160
This is kind of incredible You want to do the story? Sure

02:49:07.160 --> 02:49:11.160
With a pixel size of 49 nanometers

02:49:11.160 --> 02:49:15.160
the smaller than a bacteria QR codes were created as a

02:49:15.160 --> 02:49:19.160
collaboration between Vienna University of Technology and data storage company

02:49:19.160 --> 02:49:23.160
Cerobi The codes are less than

02:49:23.160 --> 02:49:27.160
half the size of the previous record and require an electron microscope

02:49:27.160 --> 02:49:31.160
to read. The achievement will enable greater densities

02:49:31.160 --> 02:49:35.160
in Cerabytes Yeah, Cerabyte makes more sense

02:49:35.160 --> 02:49:39.160
I've heard of Cerabyte before Cerabytes ceramic storage

02:49:39.160 --> 02:49:43.160
which they claim could enable very long term storage with capacities

02:49:43.160 --> 02:49:47.160
up to 100 petabytes by 2030. And no, I actually

02:49:47.160 --> 02:49:51.160
didn't dyslexia that there's just a typo Discussion question, how much storage do you

02:49:51.160 --> 02:49:55.160
really need at home, you know, for all those Linux isos

02:49:55.160 --> 02:49:59.160
Well There's been a lot of

02:49:59.160 --> 02:50:03.160
very musically focused Linux distros

02:50:03.160 --> 02:50:07.160
recently How big is that even though?

02:50:07.160 --> 02:50:11.160
Not 100 petabytes. Yeah, like the Spotify rip was

02:50:11.160 --> 02:50:15.160
I thought it was about a petabyte Yeah

02:50:15.160 --> 02:50:19.160
100 petabytes I mean, recalling this

02:50:19.160 --> 02:50:23.160
data is extremely challenging. This is meant for like, my understanding is like

02:50:23.160 --> 02:50:27.160
a very long term resilient storage, like mass amounts

02:50:27.160 --> 02:50:31.160
of storage. And for that we need

02:50:31.160 --> 02:50:35.160
a lot but only if we care to preserve

02:50:35.160 --> 02:50:39.160
everything that's being created right now, but so much of it is

02:50:39.160 --> 02:50:43.160
so much of it, I don't I don't want. Wonder if we don't

02:50:43.160 --> 02:50:47.160
really need to archive it? Oh, really? I thought it was a petabyte

02:50:47.160 --> 02:50:51.160
300 terabytes

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

02:50:55.160 --> 02:50:59.160
it can't be enough, but I thought there was a 3 in it

02:51:05.160 --> 02:51:09.160
Anyway, I thought this was cool That's all

02:51:09.160 --> 02:51:13.160
No notes for this one Well, they put a few notes. Unreal Engine

02:51:13.160 --> 02:51:17.160
Tournament, Unreal Tournament 2004. Okay, who's responsible

02:51:17.160 --> 02:51:21.160
for calling it Unreal Engine Tournament? You know what? It doesn't matter

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

02:51:25.160 --> 02:51:29.160
Unreal Tournament Unreal Tournament 2004

02:51:29.160 --> 02:51:33.160
is now available for free thanks to community collaboration

02:51:33.160 --> 02:51:37.160
U.T. 2004, one of the greatest shooters of all time

02:51:37.160 --> 02:51:41.160
just received its first public patch in over 20 years. This was

02:51:41.160 --> 02:51:45.160
made possible by Old Unreal, a community support project dedicated to keeping

02:51:45.160 --> 02:51:49.160
early Epic titles alive. This patch includes support for Windows, Linux,

02:51:49.160 --> 02:51:53.160
and macOS along with various quality of life updates. Epic has given

02:51:53.160 --> 02:51:57.160
permission for them to host the original files, so they have an easy

02:51:57.160 --> 02:52:01.160
to use installer available Super cool

02:52:01.160 --> 02:52:05.160
shout out Epic love to see it

02:52:05.160 --> 02:52:09.160
that's all I have to say about that Yeah, I found it just

02:52:09.160 --> 02:52:13.160
for people wondering it's definitely 300 terabytes I found some very early articles

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

02:52:17.160 --> 02:52:21.160
confirmed for sure a lot of times that it's 300 terabytes

02:52:21.160 --> 02:52:25.160
All right meta wants to

02:52:25.160 --> 02:52:29.160
oh yeah meta wants to make your grandma

02:52:29.160 --> 02:52:33.160
immortal a patent granted late in December outlines

02:52:33.160 --> 02:52:37.160
the use of an LLM to simulate a person's social media activity

02:52:37.160 --> 02:52:41.160
when the user takes a long break or is deceased

02:52:41.160 --> 02:52:45.160
the document states that the impact on the users is

02:52:45.160 --> 02:52:49.160
much more severe and permanent if that user is deceased

02:52:49.160 --> 02:52:51.160
and can never return to the platform

02:52:53.160 --> 02:52:57.160
No s*** your new AI Nana could like

02:52:57.160 --> 02:53:01.160
comment and respond to DMs from beyond the grave

02:53:01.160 --> 02:53:05.160
potentially even joining audio and video calls

02:53:05.160 --> 02:53:09.160
meta says the technology would be great for influencers who want to take

02:53:09.160 --> 02:53:13.160
a break from social media without giving up income

02:53:13.160 --> 02:53:17.160
get rid of it Dan thank you

02:53:17.160 --> 02:53:21.160
one of the crazy things is I saw this in my google news feed

02:53:21.160 --> 02:53:25.160
probably 10 minutes after seeing somebody

02:53:25.160 --> 02:53:29.160
on facebook go to marketplace

02:53:29.160 --> 02:53:33.160
there's somebody on facebook who's definitely passed away that you know

02:53:33.160 --> 02:53:37.160
worked here and that was like

02:53:37.160 --> 02:53:41.160
a sad moment to see them I'm pretty happy that I didn't have

02:53:41.160 --> 02:53:43.160
a new message from them

02:53:49.160 --> 02:53:53.160
I have some relatives that are getting pretty close

02:53:53.160 --> 02:53:57.160
to the end and the last thing

02:53:57.160 --> 02:54:01.160
that I want is fake

02:54:01.160 --> 02:54:05.160
real conversations with them I'm instead taking

02:54:05.160 --> 02:54:09.160
time now to talk to them while I still can

02:54:09.160 --> 02:54:13.160
and that's what we should do if possible

02:54:13.160 --> 02:54:17.160
and if it's not possible this is not the answer

02:54:19.160 --> 02:54:23.160
cool hey but in other news

02:54:23.160 --> 02:54:27.160
the netherlands defense secretary said on a podcast

02:54:27.160 --> 02:54:31.160
that the f-35 like the warplane

02:54:31.160 --> 02:54:35.160
can be jailbroken just like an iphone

02:54:35.160 --> 02:54:39.160
implying that european forces could maintain the aircraft software

02:54:39.160 --> 02:54:43.160
without us and lockheed martin support

02:54:43.160 --> 02:54:47.160
currently the f-35 software has managed through lockheed martin's autonomic

02:54:47.160 --> 02:54:51.160
logistics information system which is updates to the fleet every year or two

02:54:51.160 --> 02:54:55.160
european countries own the physical planes but the u.s. controls the software

02:54:55.160 --> 02:54:59.160
and update pipeline israel is currently the only country

02:54:59.160 --> 02:55:03.160
that has negotiated a deal with lockheed martin allowing it to run its own software

02:55:03.160 --> 02:55:07.160
on the f-35 fleet the comments came amid broader european fears

02:55:07.160 --> 02:55:11.160
that the u.s. could remotely disable f-35 fleets

02:55:11.160 --> 02:55:15.160
oh boy, gonna butcher this keem schramshofer

02:55:17.160 --> 02:55:21.160
head of comms at german defense contractor hensult previously said

02:55:21.160 --> 02:55:25.160
the idea of a remote kill switch was more than just a rumor

02:55:25.160 --> 02:55:29.160
i gotta say the main reason that i flagged this

02:55:29.160 --> 02:55:33.160
for the WAN Show was that while i realized that this was a problem

02:55:33.160 --> 02:55:37.160
on a telephone and i realized

02:55:37.160 --> 02:55:41.160
that it was a problem on a tractor i did not realize

02:55:41.160 --> 02:55:45.160
that this was a problem on a military jet

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

02:55:49.160 --> 02:55:53.160
oh i thought you meant the remote kill switch oh yeah, that too

02:55:53.160 --> 02:55:57.160
that's insane how did we

02:55:57.160 --> 02:56:01.160
all, even at that level accept

02:56:01.160 --> 02:56:05.160
that this is okay can you make an f-35?

02:56:05.160 --> 02:56:09.160
no there are alternatives

02:56:09.160 --> 02:56:13.160
not a ton and they would all have probably a similar problem that's insane

02:56:13.160 --> 02:56:17.160
i mean yes and no i bet if everyone got together

02:56:17.160 --> 02:56:21.160
and basically just said no we will literally not buy any

02:56:21.160 --> 02:56:25.160
if you don't deal with this how long do you think lockheed would hold out

02:56:25.160 --> 02:56:29.160
i feel like they just try to hide it ugh

02:56:29.160 --> 02:56:33.160
i mean that's a very military thing to do

02:56:33.160 --> 02:56:37.160
in other german news, acer and ASUS have been blocked from selling PCs in germany

02:56:37.160 --> 02:56:41.160
they could also just say no have fun being

02:56:41.160 --> 02:56:45.160
not superior right

02:56:45.160 --> 02:56:49.160
another angle they could take a german court has granted nokia

02:56:49.160 --> 02:56:53.160
an injunction against the two firms selling desktops and laptops

02:56:53.160 --> 02:56:57.160
stock that's already in the country can still be sold nokia claims acer ASUS

02:56:57.160 --> 02:57:01.160
and tv maker heisense are infringing on three patents related to the

02:57:01.160 --> 02:57:05.160
high efficiency video codec HEVC aka H265

02:57:05.160 --> 02:57:09.160
heisense decided to enter a licensing agreement with nokia in january

02:57:09.160 --> 02:57:13.160
but acer and ASUS continue to fight the allegations in court

02:57:13.160 --> 02:57:17.160
HEVC is considered a standard essential patent due to its widespread use

02:57:17.160 --> 02:57:21.160
which means special rules apply to ensure the technology is broadly available

02:57:21.160 --> 02:57:25.160
while the patent holder is still fairly compensated and that's it

02:57:25.160 --> 02:57:29.160
that's why HEVC never really took off because of stuff like this

02:57:29.160 --> 02:57:33.160
which blows in other news google suddenly cares about ip theft

02:57:33.160 --> 02:57:37.160
this is hilarious yeah

02:57:37.160 --> 02:57:41.160
where we at where is that one top

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

02:57:45.160 --> 02:57:49.160
but google is accusing commercially motivated actors

02:57:49.160 --> 02:57:53.160
of trying to clone the proprietary logic behind gemini ai

02:57:55.160 --> 02:57:59.160
in other news the entire world is accusing google of slurping up

02:57:59.160 --> 02:58:03.160
proprietary yeah yeah google says

02:58:03.160 --> 02:58:07.160
distillation attacks have agents querying gemini up to 100,000 times

02:58:07.160 --> 02:58:11.160
to try to extract the underlying model

02:58:11.160 --> 02:58:15.160
this is hilarious this is also a thing that has been happening for a long time

02:58:15.160 --> 02:58:19.160
and has happened to other people as well most notably open ai

02:58:19.160 --> 02:58:23.160
model distillation ah hey okay model distillation attacks aren't a new thing

02:58:23.160 --> 02:58:27.160
in early 2025 open ai suggested that chinese

02:58:27.160 --> 02:58:31.160
startup deep seek had distilled open ai's models to create their own

02:58:31.160 --> 02:58:35.160
cheaper more efficient model which as far as i understand it goes is like effectively confirmed

02:58:35.160 --> 02:58:39.160
but i don't actually know that um where's the

02:58:39.160 --> 02:58:43.160
um nice yeah where's the line how much does your company

02:58:43.160 --> 02:58:47.160
need to be worth to ignore the law um i just think this is hilarious

02:58:47.160 --> 02:58:51.160
because ip theft matters

02:58:51.160 --> 02:58:55.160
immediately when it's their ip theft and it doesn't matter that what

02:58:55.160 --> 02:58:59.160
underpins it was is ip theft on a scale

02:58:59.160 --> 02:59:03.160
that i don't think the world has ever seen before yeah

02:59:03.160 --> 02:59:07.160
yeah crazy last topic

02:59:07.160 --> 02:59:11.160
harmful chemicals may be in your headphones

02:59:11.160 --> 02:59:15.160
an EU environmental advocacy group called talks free life for all

02:59:15.160 --> 02:59:19.160
released a study that tested 81 pairs of headphones

02:59:19.160 --> 02:59:23.160
and supposedly found hazardous substances in all of them

02:59:23.160 --> 02:59:27.160
the substances included known endocrine disruptors um which led to some

02:59:27.160 --> 02:59:31.160
highly sensationalized pieces suggesting that speakers would be better

02:59:31.160 --> 02:59:35.160
for your health compared to headphones if you are trying to avoid

02:59:35.160 --> 02:59:39.160
cancer the study actually does seem to have some validity

02:59:39.160 --> 02:59:43.160
to it but it mainly aimed to address companies that

02:59:43.160 --> 02:59:47.160
circumvent regulations with equally bad alternatives since these chemicals are handled on a substance

02:59:47.160 --> 02:59:51.160
by substance basis not to mention that these chemicals are only an issue from

02:59:51.160 --> 02:59:55.160
cumulative long term exposure across many kinds of plastics

02:59:55.160 --> 02:59:59.160
products like apple airpods pro 2s and sony w h 1000 xm 5s were rated

02:59:59.160 --> 03:00:03.160
safe the real problems were knockoffs from marketplaces like

03:00:03.160 --> 03:00:07.160
temu that's not surprising

03:00:07.160 --> 03:00:11.160
but it's also like dang the ones that are safe

03:00:11.160 --> 03:00:15.160
are really expensive um also

03:00:15.160 --> 03:00:19.160
uh reilly sent me another kind of summary

03:00:19.160 --> 03:00:23.160
of this that i had sort of expected to be in the summary that was

03:00:23.160 --> 03:00:27.160
in the uh the wandshow doc um

03:00:27.160 --> 03:00:31.160
but basically he was kind of saying that

03:00:31.160 --> 03:00:35.160
a lot of this is sort of extrapolating

03:00:35.160 --> 03:00:39.160
what may be a concern so commenters have connected

03:00:39.160 --> 03:00:43.160
the headlines of that they might be using alternative chemicals that are less regulated

03:00:43.160 --> 03:00:47.160
and um that some of these chemicals

03:00:47.160 --> 03:00:51.160
still need to be like studied and turned it into connected

03:00:51.160 --> 03:00:55.160
these dots and um gone like oh no all headphones are poisonous

03:00:55.160 --> 03:00:59.160
and then meanwhile the other side has gone completely other side

03:00:59.160 --> 03:01:03.160
of the pendulum swing and gone that's such an overreaction that it must be completely

03:01:03.160 --> 03:01:07.160
safe and there is no problem but as usual the truth

03:01:07.160 --> 03:01:11.160
probably lies somewhere in the middle

03:01:11.160 --> 03:01:15.160
mm-hmm Dan i think it's time for after dark i've got one more

03:01:15.160 --> 03:01:19.160
uh chat really wants me to talk about this one or us really

03:01:19.160 --> 03:01:23.160
we've really kind of two more i guess youtube went down people wanted our comments

03:01:23.160 --> 03:01:27.160
on this oh that's bad i think we're both like dang

03:01:27.160 --> 03:01:29.160
whoops they should not do that

03:01:31.160 --> 03:01:35.160
yeah it was for me it was really interesting for

03:01:35.160 --> 03:01:39.160
for some people to see how compartmentalized certain systems are because people were like

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

03:01:43.160 --> 03:01:47.160
blah blah blah blah blah and it's like yeah it's fascinating um but anyways

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

03:01:51.160 --> 03:01:55.160
show hackers exposed discord age verification system issue after persona

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

03:01:59.160 --> 03:02:03.160
uh this this is i think what i said in the

03:02:03.160 --> 03:02:07.160
pre show was like whoever did this i want to shake your hand um

03:02:07.160 --> 03:02:11.160
great work congratulations you made your point and that's

03:02:11.160 --> 03:02:15.160
such a good point to make and such important timing

03:02:15.160 --> 03:02:19.160
that you nailed it so fast this is why this is a problem

03:02:19.160 --> 03:02:23.160
way to go thank you um

03:02:23.160 --> 03:02:27.160
but yeah this just goes to show

03:02:27.160 --> 03:02:31.160
that we need them to not collect data like this

03:02:31.160 --> 03:02:35.160
because it's just gonna go out there um

03:02:37.160 --> 03:02:41.160
yeah and again just like we were talking last week

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

03:02:45.160 --> 03:02:49.160
let's play three different games and each time let's try a different voice chat

03:02:49.160 --> 03:02:51.160
service just for fun um

03:02:53.160 --> 03:02:57.160
and and see how it goes and even if you end up having both or something

03:02:57.160 --> 03:03:01.160
like that at least start legitimizing alternatives

03:03:01.160 --> 03:03:05.160
one of the biggest issues when you have markets like the voice chat market

03:03:05.160 --> 03:03:09.160
is there is only one thing that matters right now and that sucks

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

03:03:13.160 --> 03:03:17.160
if there's if we start legitimizing make it normalize that there's other ones

03:03:17.160 --> 03:03:21.160
that people use then discourse market show will fall quickly

03:03:21.160 --> 03:03:25.160
and that's a good idea the whole 3d printed guns thing

03:03:25.160 --> 03:03:29.160
is continuing to evolve california bill would restrict

03:03:29.160 --> 03:03:33.160
3d printer sales to state approved models to prevent printing gun parts

03:03:33.160 --> 03:03:37.160
joins washington and new york on legal offensive yeah that's not gonna work

03:03:37.160 --> 03:03:41.160
so first of all it won't work second of all rough

03:03:41.160 --> 03:03:45.160
because now there's now there's all this insider collusion of companies

03:03:45.160 --> 03:03:49.160
bribing people to be on the approved list and there's already an incredible

03:03:49.160 --> 03:03:53.160
amount of corruption in every single government everywhere so that's definitely going to happen

03:03:53.160 --> 03:03:57.160
i'm not even calling it america it's just the world

03:03:57.160 --> 03:04:01.160
if this was in canada the same thing would be a problem

03:04:01.160 --> 03:04:05.160
especially bc hey

03:04:05.160 --> 03:04:07.160
hey

03:04:09.160 --> 03:04:13.160
yeah after dark? yes

03:04:13.160 --> 03:04:17.160
after dark button

03:04:17.160 --> 03:04:21.160
button button there we go

03:04:21.160 --> 03:04:25.160
alright up first hey lld and future me

03:04:25.160 --> 03:04:29.160
always watch vod on saturday mornings what's the

03:04:29.160 --> 03:04:33.160
scariest thing about starting your own business and how did you deal with that fear

03:04:33.160 --> 03:04:37.160
the scariest thing is not having money to eat and to pay the people

03:04:37.160 --> 03:04:41.160
who work for you and

03:04:41.160 --> 03:04:45.160
your mortgage and how did you deal with that fear

03:04:45.160 --> 03:04:49.160
work harder so that

03:04:49.160 --> 03:04:51.160
that doesn't happen

03:04:53.160 --> 03:04:57.160
i mean it's just it's a tale as old as time right

03:04:57.160 --> 03:05:01.160
there are advantages to entrepreneurship and there are advantages

03:05:01.160 --> 03:05:05.160
to employment hitching your cart to a horse that

03:05:05.160 --> 03:05:09.160
has been walking for a long time

03:05:09.160 --> 03:05:13.160
and seems to have a lot of road out ahead of it offers

03:05:13.160 --> 03:05:17.160
security while entrepreneurship can offer incredible opportunity

03:05:17.160 --> 03:05:21.160
but i forget what percentage of business it is that fail in the first

03:05:21.160 --> 03:05:25.160
five years but it's a lot so it's not a

03:05:25.160 --> 03:05:29.160
guarantee and it's not right for everyone but it was right for

03:05:29.160 --> 03:05:31.160
me and i'm glad it worked out the way that it did

03:05:33.160 --> 03:05:37.160
oh i accidentally just archived the site no i didn't nope that was me nice

03:05:37.160 --> 03:05:41.160
hi Linus and luke my grade school kids love

03:05:41.160 --> 03:05:45.160
gaming and learning about pc parts thanks to astro bot but

03:05:45.160 --> 03:05:49.160
Windows feels complex versus console slash tablet slash

03:05:49.160 --> 03:05:53.160
chromebooks any tips for teaching them a quote unquote real

03:05:53.160 --> 03:05:55.160
operating system

03:05:57.160 --> 03:06:01.160
you said they love learning just maybe try to make it fun yeah and i mean

03:06:01.160 --> 03:06:05.160
realistically my i was kind of blown away

03:06:05.160 --> 03:06:09.160
by some of the stuff that my son was doing so that he could mod minecraft

03:06:09.160 --> 03:06:13.160
and stuff they just have to they have to have a reason to

03:06:13.160 --> 03:06:17.160
learn it otherwise they're not going to bother Windows is not that complicated these days

03:06:17.160 --> 03:06:21.160
if you are sufficiently motivated to do it and kids

03:06:21.160 --> 03:06:25.160
brains are so malleable i was see do you see the do you see that

03:06:25.160 --> 03:06:29.160
kid that like destroyed the sub three second solve on a

03:06:29.160 --> 03:06:33.160
three by three rubik's cube recently kids like seven or something

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

03:06:37.160 --> 03:06:41.160
cubes are terrifying yeah hold on what's this kids name

03:06:41.160 --> 03:06:45.160
teodor zad zad

03:06:45.160 --> 03:06:49.160
zadster 2.76 seconds

03:06:49.160 --> 03:06:53.160
2.76 seconds that's absurd

03:06:53.160 --> 03:06:55.160
seven years ago

03:06:57.160 --> 03:07:01.160
this was a question will there ever be a sub three

03:07:01.160 --> 03:07:05.160
sub three i could see as the very edge of possibility

03:07:05.160 --> 03:07:09.160
with an absurd solve well

03:07:09.160 --> 03:07:13.160
2.76 like obliterated

03:07:13.160 --> 03:07:15.160
obliterated the record

03:07:17.160 --> 03:07:21.160
yeah when you're getting down into that such a small amount of total

03:07:21.160 --> 03:07:25.160
time that's an insane amount of time to chop off

03:07:27.160 --> 03:07:31.160
blah blah blah blah blah this isn't it is it yeah there we go

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

03:07:35.160 --> 03:07:37.160
i

03:07:49.160 --> 03:07:53.160
is that wild or wild like

03:07:53.160 --> 03:07:57.160
wow i'm not a moron

03:07:57.160 --> 03:08:01.160
but you'll never do that i will never do

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

03:08:05.160 --> 03:08:09.160
yep age ago which was like a six-sided

03:08:09.160 --> 03:08:13.160
cnc machine attached to a rubik's cube and it did it in like one second

03:08:13.160 --> 03:08:17.160
it's like twice as fast as a computer controlled robot

03:08:19.160 --> 03:08:23.160
mind blowing katoa says i can solve in five minutes

03:08:23.160 --> 03:08:27.160
yeah exactly it's crappy dp you'll also never kickflip 100%

03:08:29.160 --> 03:08:33.160
so give your kids credit don't baby them they can figure it out

03:08:33.160 --> 03:08:37.160
they just have to be sufficiently motivated give them a project

03:08:37.160 --> 03:08:41.160
it's like people say learn programming by making a calculator no

03:08:41.160 --> 03:08:45.160
find a problem do something more interesting yeah my gang

03:08:45.160 --> 03:08:49.160
thinking about automate something around your house yeah thinking about age

03:08:49.160 --> 03:08:53.160
verification who do you think would be able to reliably figure out

03:08:53.160 --> 03:08:57.160
and implement safe age verification maybe steam

03:08:57.160 --> 03:09:01.160
maybe def con well that's the whole point is that you can't

03:09:01.160 --> 03:09:05.160
it's not gonna happen and we need to stop

03:09:05.160 --> 03:09:09.160
like chasing this weird dragon

03:09:09.160 --> 03:09:13.160
i'd uh the only solution

03:09:13.160 --> 03:09:17.160
is for someone who already is tracking all of this

03:09:17.160 --> 03:09:21.160
like the government except i don't trust them to keep it safe

03:09:21.160 --> 03:09:25.160
so well that's what i'm saying though no i'm agreeing with you

03:09:25.160 --> 03:09:29.160
yeah no except i don't trust them to keep it safe

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

03:09:33.160 --> 03:09:37.160
so since we can't do it safely we need to just

03:09:37.160 --> 03:09:41.160
not do it it's like asking like

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

03:09:45.160 --> 03:09:49.160
can enjoy my crystal meth how about we just

03:09:49.160 --> 03:09:53.160
don't crystal meth yeah it's

03:09:53.160 --> 03:09:57.160
the thing is like it's going to be circumvented anyways

03:09:59.160 --> 03:10:03.160
obviously okay this is pretty funny

03:10:03.160 --> 03:10:07.160
mcbane says leisure suit larry solved that 35 years ago do you know what

03:10:07.160 --> 03:10:11.160
the age check was for leisure suit larry just ask you questions that

03:10:11.160 --> 03:10:15.160
only older people would know the answer to it wouldn't work in the age of

03:10:15.160 --> 03:10:19.160
google and like chat gpt or whatever but

03:10:19.160 --> 03:10:23.160
here here here here here here um maybe you have to like

03:10:23.160 --> 03:10:25.160
um

03:10:27.160 --> 03:10:31.160
control plain and simple there's yeah i mean we've been controlling

03:10:31.160 --> 03:10:35.160
data collection but my my thing is like

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

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

03:10:43.160 --> 03:10:47.160
from okay doing these bad things like yeah if they care they're gonna go

03:10:47.160 --> 03:10:51.160
around it like it's you have you

03:10:51.160 --> 03:10:53.160
let's play a game

03:10:55.160 --> 03:10:57.160
tiptoe through the tulips was recorded by

03:10:59.160 --> 03:11:01.160
it plays ukulele

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

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

03:11:11.160 --> 03:11:15.160
probably this one yeah a kid

03:11:15.160 --> 03:11:19.160
probably wouldn't care at that time do you know what a neighbor jacket is

03:11:19.160 --> 03:11:23.160
no where's the beef where's the beef

03:11:23.160 --> 03:11:25.160
okay i wouldn't have got that

03:11:27.160 --> 03:11:31.160
tiny tim i'm upset about myself

03:11:31.160 --> 03:11:35.160
uh does a pair of queens beat three deuces

03:11:35.160 --> 03:11:39.160
i don't think so

03:11:39.160 --> 03:11:43.160
three twos yeah

03:11:43.160 --> 03:11:47.160
uh i assume this is poker yes in oh in blackjack

03:11:47.160 --> 03:11:51.160
yes in blackjack good gravy

03:11:51.160 --> 03:11:55.160
three pair of two pair this is multiple choice

03:11:55.160 --> 03:11:59.160
oh you just have to type what jokers do you have type them in yeah

03:11:59.160 --> 03:12:01.160
is my banana still there or not

03:12:03.160 --> 03:12:07.160
have i upgraded my my card which is non-alcoholic

03:12:07.160 --> 03:12:11.160
see perrier like this was their solution to age

03:12:11.160 --> 03:12:15.160
verification which is pretty based actually that's so cool that's so smart

03:12:17.160 --> 03:12:19.160
the result of watergate was

03:12:21.160 --> 03:12:25.160
back when scandals actually had consequences

03:12:25.160 --> 03:12:27.160
oh yeah any kid these days would just say nothing

03:12:31.160 --> 03:12:35.160
sorry there was a little too real we paid them more money for some reason

03:12:39.160 --> 03:12:43.160
moving on the result of watergate was someone made a watergate coin

03:12:47.160 --> 03:12:51.160
in fts oh my god

03:12:51.160 --> 03:12:55.160
this is a real world that we live in hi dll would you rather

03:12:55.160 --> 03:12:59.160
lose five percent of your personal data at a at random

03:12:59.160 --> 03:13:03.160
every year no buck backups are allowed or have one hundred percent

03:13:03.160 --> 03:13:07.160
of your data perfectly preserved forever but completely unencrypted and publicly

03:13:07.160 --> 03:13:11.160
accessible five percent gone see ya

03:13:18.160 --> 03:13:22.160
he's trying to calculate how much of it's leaked anyways

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

03:13:31.160 --> 03:13:35.160
out a little bit are we talking digital files i kind of took this as like

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

03:13:39.160 --> 03:13:43.160
to scrub it first oh it's not like today

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

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

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

03:13:55.160 --> 03:13:59.160
yeah i think you could never store them ever either

03:13:59.160 --> 03:14:03.160
i don't think you could take a picture of it i'd accept that

03:14:03.160 --> 03:14:07.160
going forward i would just have to have like perfect digital hygiene

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

03:14:11.160 --> 03:14:15.160
that's how i'm interpreting i could message it to someone

03:14:15.160 --> 03:14:19.160
because it's it's the picture is only for convenience

03:14:19.160 --> 03:14:23.160
my convenience not the recipient too so like honestly it would

03:14:23.160 --> 03:14:27.160
make me more considerate i think that's not in the spirit of the question

03:14:27.160 --> 03:14:31.160
it just says personal data i interpreted it as like things i would

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

03:14:35.160 --> 03:14:39.160
a photo is is personal data it would be saved on your phone and then

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

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

03:14:47.160 --> 03:14:51.160
on a nas so does that count because i interpreted it as

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

03:14:55.160 --> 03:14:59.160
every message that i ever send to anyone ever forever that is personal

03:14:59.160 --> 03:15:03.160
data then okay so which one is it i

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

03:15:07.160 --> 03:15:11.160
conceptualizable otherwise everything else is just like oh well i

03:15:11.160 --> 03:15:15.160
just let's just not use the internet you have like your

03:15:15.160 --> 03:15:19.160
taxes and stuff i mean i don't

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

03:15:23.160 --> 03:15:27.160
your is your wife yeah but that's not my personal data then

03:15:27.160 --> 03:15:31.160
like i don't have it so i'm just losing 5%

03:15:31.160 --> 03:15:35.160
but you might be able to do the hundo what are you doing

03:15:35.160 --> 03:15:39.160
i think it was on the nas i would

03:15:39.160 --> 03:15:43.160
man that's just personal data i don't think you can be like just only

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

03:15:47.160 --> 03:15:49.160
take five of every picture and hope that

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

03:15:55.160 --> 03:15:59.160
yes that's what i would do there's like

03:15:59.160 --> 03:16:03.160
well no because i think 40 million pictures of one parking spot

03:16:03.160 --> 03:16:07.160
i don't know that's your nas if you think about

03:16:07.160 --> 03:16:09.160
don't look at my camera roll either

03:16:11.160 --> 03:16:15.160
i think maybe more in the spirit of like 5% of like

03:16:15.160 --> 03:16:19.160
you know if you had 40 million of the same picture you would lose that picture

03:16:19.160 --> 03:16:23.160
yeah probably it's all hash so if it's the same picture disagree

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

03:16:27.160 --> 03:16:31.160
every time so they're all slightly different man i print photos

03:16:31.160 --> 03:16:35.160
i think that would actually be a huge part of my

03:16:35.160 --> 03:16:39.160
my countermeasures against this is i would actually print photos

03:16:39.160 --> 03:16:43.160
yeah just go back interesting because for me anything else is like

03:16:43.160 --> 03:16:47.160
replaceable but photos are not i think i'm gonna do the 100%

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

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

03:16:55.160 --> 03:16:59.160
you know it's kind of my my super slide data

03:16:59.160 --> 03:17:03.160
you can't pirate anything anymore ever again not that you do

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

03:17:07.160 --> 03:17:11.160
because you get sued to oblivion oh come on not in canada there's no

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

03:17:15.160 --> 03:17:19.160
it'll be fine you can't be sued for pirating anything in canada

03:17:19.160 --> 03:17:21.160
that doesn't seem right and no i really don't think so

03:17:25.160 --> 03:17:29.160
someone not a lawyer but like i this would be like an insane haven

03:17:32.160 --> 03:17:35.160
online piracy is a criminal offense in canada

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

03:17:47.160 --> 03:17:51.160
and is that for downloading or is that for sharing

03:17:51.160 --> 03:17:55.160
i'm trying to look through it i think i think just leaching

03:17:55.160 --> 03:17:59.160
you can't really i get like

03:17:59.160 --> 03:18:03.160
hit too hard for in 2022 22.4

03:18:03.160 --> 03:18:07.160
percent of canadians access pirate services that sounds about right let's

03:18:07.160 --> 03:18:11.160
go all right

03:18:11.160 --> 03:18:15.160
with all the tech prices do you think

03:18:15.160 --> 03:18:19.160
apparently thousands of canadians every year are the targets of legal action based on

03:18:19.160 --> 03:18:23.160
piracy yeah but is that for redistribution

03:18:25.160 --> 03:18:29.160
that's my understanding it doesn't seem too specific

03:18:31.160 --> 03:18:35.160
anyway sorry keep going with all of the tech

03:18:35.160 --> 03:18:39.160
prices do you think optane or ready boost might make a return

03:18:39.160 --> 03:18:43.160
not optane because Intel and uh what's the nuts

03:18:43.160 --> 03:18:47.160
micron completely divorced over that whole thing

03:18:49.160 --> 03:18:53.160
optane was so cool but the concept of an

03:18:53.160 --> 03:18:57.160
SSD cash i was actually thinking about that earlier as we were talking about our

03:18:57.160 --> 03:19:01.160
drive and storage prices it works really well it does

03:19:01.160 --> 03:19:05.160
it's it's kind of a a very underrated

03:19:05.160 --> 03:19:09.160
solution to a problem that became not a problem but is becoming

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

03:19:13.160 --> 03:19:17.160
i use it on my nest it's fun it's cool it's interesting

03:19:17.160 --> 03:19:21.160
nifty it's neat i tried to buy an optane drive because Linus

03:19:21.160 --> 03:19:25.160
was talking them up so much uh and they were like 250 bucks

03:19:25.160 --> 03:19:29.160
for a teeny tiny one when i was looking

03:19:29.160 --> 03:19:33.160
and then really yeah i think it was like right near the end or something

03:19:33.160 --> 03:19:37.160
and yeah i just got like 128 gig

03:19:37.160 --> 03:19:41.160
SSD for like a dollar at that time

03:19:41.160 --> 03:19:45.160
back in my day you can still get the 16 gig ones for like 10 bucks

03:19:45.160 --> 03:19:49.160
20 with delivery yeah i wasn't looking at any of it because i'm stupid

03:19:49.160 --> 03:19:53.160
alright here's 10

03:19:53.160 --> 03:19:57.160
of the 16 gig ones for $53 stuff like this is always confusing to me

03:19:57.160 --> 03:20:01.160
because i really don't think a lot

03:20:01.160 --> 03:20:05.160
obviously people bought them right um

03:20:05.160 --> 03:20:09.160
but like they were never popular that i was aware of

03:20:09.160 --> 03:20:13.160
so like they clearly produced them at a

03:20:13.160 --> 03:20:17.160
volume that like people have this many of them you know

03:20:17.160 --> 03:20:21.160
like what who was buying these where where did

03:20:21.160 --> 03:20:25.160
they where did they come from where did they go server offloading i think but like

03:20:25.160 --> 03:20:29.160
16 gig for what

03:20:29.160 --> 03:20:33.160
what who put these in anything what are we even talking about here no idea

03:20:33.160 --> 03:20:35.160
yeah right wild anyway

03:20:37.160 --> 03:20:41.160
where do you see the line between a company's agency and the need

03:20:41.160 --> 03:20:45.160
to act upon the whims of a consumer base i.e.

03:20:45.160 --> 03:20:49.160
why pressure apple to support air pods on Android if it's not the vision

03:20:49.160 --> 03:20:53.160
for the product because they're bluetooth headphones that benefit

03:20:53.160 --> 03:20:57.160
from the industry-wide standard that is bluetooth

03:20:57.160 --> 03:21:01.160
and in my mind a

03:21:01.160 --> 03:21:05.160
basic part of a product is providing ongoing support

03:21:05.160 --> 03:21:09.160
which apple clearly agrees with given that they actually do a phenomenal

03:21:09.160 --> 03:21:13.160
job generally speaking of providing ongoing software and firmware support for their

03:21:13.160 --> 03:21:17.160
products and i bought it that's why

03:21:17.160 --> 03:21:21.160
i bought it it's mine

03:21:21.160 --> 03:21:25.160
you have an obligation to warranty it and support it and the fact

03:21:25.160 --> 03:21:29.160
that i didn't buy another one of your products is just

03:21:29.160 --> 03:21:31.160
utter arrogance

03:21:33.160 --> 03:21:37.160
as for what their vision of the experience is

03:21:37.160 --> 03:21:41.160
that's nice but my vision of the experience

03:21:41.160 --> 03:21:45.160
is that when you provide a firmware update i have a f***ing

03:21:45.160 --> 03:21:49.160
way to apply it without buying another one of your products because i already

03:21:49.160 --> 03:21:53.160
f***ing bought one it's pretty simple to me

03:21:53.160 --> 03:21:57.160
and the fact that anyone will put apples dong

03:21:57.160 --> 03:22:01.160
so far down their throat to defend something like that

03:22:01.160 --> 03:22:03.160
is mind blowing

03:22:05.160 --> 03:22:09.160
they don't know you they don't know your name

03:22:09.160 --> 03:22:13.160
they don't care about you you're pretending bad behavior

03:22:13.160 --> 03:22:17.160
if google did the same thing or samsung did the same thing

03:22:17.160 --> 03:22:21.160
i would think it was ridiculous if you buy the product

03:22:21.160 --> 03:22:25.160
you are the customer and you should be supported

03:22:25.160 --> 03:22:29.160
full stop thank you for coming

03:22:29.160 --> 03:22:33.160
to my ted talk i'm thinking about

03:22:33.160 --> 03:22:37.160
switching to steam os on my main pc but i have

03:22:37.160 --> 03:22:41.160
different monitors or just wing it with the three I have now

03:22:45.160 --> 03:22:49.160
wing it wing it save that money son yeah

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

03:22:57.160 --> 03:23:01.160
and like everything be even in the bases look the same don't worry about it

03:23:02.160 --> 03:23:09.160
yeah don't worry about it hey LLD thinking of building a 10 gigabit nas

03:23:09.160 --> 03:23:14.160
if I am running ZFs Z2 in true nas

03:23:14.160 --> 03:23:17.160
would I benefit from buying SAS drives with HPA

03:23:17.160 --> 03:23:22.160
the exos X24 SAS drives are almost the same price with current pricing

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

03:23:28.160 --> 03:23:37.160
and for a home user the benefit of SAS is just not going to materialize

03:23:37.160 --> 03:23:41.160
I would I would go SATA assuming that the cost is equal

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

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

03:23:54.160 --> 03:23:59.160
like like a bunch of SAS drives and they were an amazing deal like way cheaper

03:23:59.160 --> 03:24:03.160
so much cheaper that I could buy a SAS HPA and the backup

03:24:03.160 --> 03:24:07.160
and that would be all my storage that I needed because

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

03:24:11.160 --> 03:24:14.160
but that would be the only way that you would get me to go SAS

03:24:14.160 --> 03:24:19.160
if I was just buying new drives I would go SATA for sure every time

03:24:19.160 --> 03:24:21.160
this is like

03:24:22.160 --> 03:24:25.160
if you don't know why you need SAS you don't need it

03:24:25.160 --> 03:24:29.160
so someone was talking early I don't remember why I had this thought

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

03:24:37.160 --> 03:24:41.160
and the use market sucks right now yeah it does

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

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

03:24:51.160 --> 03:24:56.160
you are the customer

03:24:56.160 --> 03:25:00.160
assert your rights well it kind of depends I guess

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

03:25:03.160 --> 03:25:05.160
some people might be into that with Apple

03:25:07.160 --> 03:25:10.160
there are people that are into financial

03:25:10.160 --> 03:25:14.160
yeah yeah financial abuse kink like what

03:25:14.160 --> 03:25:17.160
no that's a thing what yeah what

03:25:17.160 --> 03:25:20.160
yeah that's not like financial

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

03:25:29.160 --> 03:25:31.160
yeah look at chat that's okay

03:25:32.160 --> 03:25:36.160
finn dumb oh I thought you said them dumb no no no no no no

03:25:36.160 --> 03:25:40.160
you can have both I think usually it is usually

03:25:46.160 --> 03:25:48.160
pay pig

03:25:58.160 --> 03:26:02.160
it involves a power dynamic where the sub

03:26:02.160 --> 03:26:06.160
would need to willingly relinquishes financial control

03:26:06.160 --> 03:26:09.160
often without any sexual contact

03:26:09.160 --> 03:26:12.160
sometimes through online platforms

03:26:16.160 --> 03:26:19.160
the sub

03:26:19.160 --> 03:26:23.160
will often be insulted

03:26:23.160 --> 03:26:27.160
using terms like tribute or draining

03:26:31.160 --> 03:26:33.160
this is wild

03:26:34.160 --> 03:26:36.160
so maybe people like that about Apple

03:26:37.160 --> 03:26:40.160
so maybe people like that about Apple

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

03:26:50.160 --> 03:26:54.160
how how could I possibly come across I didn't go looking for this

03:26:54.160 --> 03:26:58.160
he's already got a wife does all his taxes and handles all his money

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

03:27:02.160 --> 03:27:04.160
something like that are you kidding me

03:27:05.160 --> 03:27:07.160
here's all my money that you won't spend

03:27:10.160 --> 03:27:14.160
I don't mean when looking for it to engage in it far away from me

03:27:14.160 --> 03:27:18.160
I could see I could see you finding your way through a Wikipedia

03:27:18.160 --> 03:27:22.160
wormhole of like weird kinks or something I could see it yeah sure

03:27:22.160 --> 03:27:26.160
if you're looking at like a if you you know those like political spectrum grids

03:27:26.160 --> 03:27:29.160
yeah if there's like my interests and this

03:27:29.160 --> 03:27:31.160
we're like oh a hundred percent opposite

03:27:32.160 --> 03:27:36.160
a hundred percent this is so bizarre to me like I could

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

03:27:40.160 --> 03:27:43.160
like sex work is work and I'm not like

03:27:43.160 --> 03:27:47.160
as long as everyone's adult and consenting and whatever I think

03:27:47.160 --> 03:27:51.160
you know sex acts I'm this is being paid to go shopping

03:27:51.160 --> 03:27:54.160
whatever is also work whatever works

03:27:54.160 --> 03:27:58.160
for your relationship keep the stuff okay whatever works for your relationship

03:27:58.160 --> 03:28:02.160
you know what I'm not gonna I'm not gonna I'm not gonna judge

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

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

03:28:10.160 --> 03:28:14.160
but I'm definitely gonna go hmm yeah okay let's

03:28:14.160 --> 03:28:18.160
yeah like like I could I narrow my eyes

03:28:18.160 --> 03:28:22.160
enough to express my I narrowness for this one

03:28:22.160 --> 03:28:26.160
what are you doing like it's like it's like if you're gonna

03:28:26.160 --> 03:28:30.160
if you're going to if you're gonna hire a sex worker

03:28:30.160 --> 03:28:34.160
like it's right in the name in it yeah you're missing part

03:28:34.160 --> 03:28:38.160
you might as well at least get laid

03:28:38.160 --> 03:28:42.160
but then it would be a glucose guardian situation

03:28:42.160 --> 03:28:46.160
what the hell's a glucose guardian gender neutral term for sugar daddy

03:28:48.160 --> 03:28:52.160
shut up no

03:28:52.160 --> 03:28:56.160
it's current it's current year

03:28:56.160 --> 03:29:00.160
is that real did you just come up with that no no I did not

03:29:00.160 --> 03:29:02.160
oh my god

03:29:06.160 --> 03:29:10.160
it's current year you're gonna be gender neutral come on it's fine

03:29:12.160 --> 03:29:16.160
oh man ohhh

03:29:16.160 --> 03:29:18.160
then baby's gotta you know have love too

03:29:26.160 --> 03:29:30.160
hmm I mean

03:29:30.160 --> 03:29:34.160
I'm gonna turn into a Minecraft villager

03:29:34.160 --> 03:29:38.160
hmm hmm

03:29:38.160 --> 03:29:42.160
alright I actually had a follow

03:29:42.160 --> 03:29:46.160
up question about sastras sure yeah baby just get us

03:29:46.160 --> 03:29:50.160
out of here I have a I have like

03:29:50.160 --> 03:29:54.160
a bucket of sass interposers at home is that also

03:29:54.160 --> 03:29:56.160
something that could be experimented with

03:29:58.160 --> 03:30:02.160
this is you personally yeah me personally because I bought one of those facebook

03:30:02.160 --> 03:30:06.160
servers I think or something like that so I got like what the hell

03:30:06.160 --> 03:30:10.160
was it called I can't remember um those are those

03:30:10.160 --> 03:30:14.160
they're port multipliers right it's something like that it

03:30:14.160 --> 03:30:18.160
it kind of converts seida drives into sass drives and vice versa

03:30:18.160 --> 03:30:22.160
oh it might only be one direction it might just be seida

03:30:22.160 --> 03:30:26.160
two sass oh yeah that makes sense so that

03:30:26.160 --> 03:30:30.160
again that would only be if you have sass HBAs or like a sass

03:30:30.160 --> 03:30:34.160
um j-bot or something but but if they were

03:30:34.160 --> 03:30:38.160
seida two sass drives would that be something to consider if you wanted to like

03:30:38.160 --> 03:30:42.160
flirt with the idea of sass drives I just wouldn't flirt with sass drives

03:30:42.160 --> 03:30:46.160
I just I don't I don't care about them for home

03:30:46.160 --> 03:30:50.160
nas use what what now

03:30:50.160 --> 03:30:54.160
ha ha ha ha ha no

03:30:54.160 --> 03:30:58.160
hustle and full plane chas this is the stream dms's kids will see when they

03:30:58.160 --> 03:31:02.160
watch when they see their parents wedding they won't watch the whole thing it'll be

03:31:02.160 --> 03:31:06.160
fine we're talking about glucose guardians and fiddledove

03:31:06.160 --> 03:31:10.160
ha ha ha ha hey it's after dark

03:31:10.160 --> 03:31:14.160

oh no I'm sorry

03:31:24.160 --> 03:31:28.160
this is also the first inaugural stream on LMG clips

03:31:28.160 --> 03:31:32.160
yeah I forgot about that we never even mentioned that

03:31:32.160 --> 03:31:36.160
we're we're migrating the WAN Show to the LMG clips channel over the next

03:31:36.160 --> 03:31:40.160
little while so we're going to be simultaneously streaming on both channels

03:31:40.160 --> 03:31:44.160
for some amount of time and then eventually

03:31:44.160 --> 03:31:48.160
it's going to go LMG clips exclusive as we migrate it

03:31:48.160 --> 03:31:52.160
off of the main LTT channel

03:31:52.160 --> 03:31:56.160
I've been hanging out with them they're super chill oh yeah there's like

03:31:56.160 --> 03:32:00.160
350 people watching over there yeah they're really cool yeah so you're

03:32:00.160 --> 03:32:04.160
going to want to get in the habit of watching over on LMG clips sometime over

03:32:04.160 --> 03:32:08.160
the next little bit yes LMG clips will be

03:32:08.160 --> 03:32:12.160
rebranded Kevin says oh please no what difference would that

03:32:12.160 --> 03:32:16.160
make now you're watching on Floatplane Kevin it's not going to

03:32:16.160 --> 03:32:20.160
this is for YouTube crying out loud yeah um yeah sorry

03:32:20.160 --> 03:32:24.160
just to clarify this only affects YouTube viewers yes yes Floatplane

03:32:24.160 --> 03:32:28.160
forever relax everyone um okay well my brain hurts

03:32:28.160 --> 03:32:32.160
um final merge message

03:32:32.160 --> 03:32:36.160
sure calm

03:32:36.160 --> 03:32:40.160
damn it thanks for that

03:32:40.160 --> 03:32:44.160
are you going to read it Dan I was just letting a beat play out there

03:32:44.160 --> 03:32:48.160
thank you greetings all is there any update on the light switches

03:32:48.160 --> 03:32:52.160
in Linus's is at home did they get all of the kinks

03:32:52.160 --> 03:32:56.160
uh-huh worked out yet um

03:32:56.160 --> 03:33:00.160
the new ones are here I haven't installed them yet I will

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

03:33:04.160 --> 03:33:08.160
we need to we need to get the show off of

03:33:08.160 --> 03:33:12.160
an LMG owned channel and migrate a channel that's

03:33:12.160 --> 03:33:16.160
like kind of worthless right now to um adequate media

03:33:18.160 --> 03:33:22.160
merge message you mean pay pig post

03:33:22.160 --> 03:33:26.160
send me your pps I don't think it can be because

03:33:26.160 --> 03:33:30.160
you get the product yeah if if you bought it

03:33:30.160 --> 03:33:34.160
and for some reason Linus got it then I think that would make sense

03:33:34.160 --> 03:33:38.160
what if we just send them nothing yeah can they just can they just

03:33:38.160 --> 03:33:42.160
like buy me screwdrivers is that like what do I have to do

03:33:42.160 --> 03:33:46.160
I think nothing in this scenario you sure

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

03:33:50.160 --> 03:33:54.160
really weird stuff with it then I think you probably

03:33:54.160 --> 03:33:58.160
get more people we'll see you next week same bad time same bad channel

03:33:58.160 --> 03:34:00.160
