There's no history of that. So you could be right 00:00:36.620 --> 00:00:41.660 If there's no history of it, I'm objectively right. Yeah, that's how it works. I mean, yeah 00:00:42.620 --> 00:00:49.020 Yep, correct until proven incorrect. You can also be objectively doing up too many buttons on a button-up shirt 00:00:49.020 --> 00:00:53.560 You look like a dork. I mean undo one. Yeah, that feels ridiculous one 00:00:54.820 --> 00:00:58.720 Ridiculous look at look at my the entire the entire country of Italy 00:00:59.220 --> 00:01:01.220 It's like why are you being such a prude still? 00:01:02.300 --> 00:01:05.800 still What are the buttons even for? 00:01:05.940 --> 00:01:12.100 Don't use the buttons are to undo so you can show off your thick gold chains.

I got a pen. It's not thick. Yeah. Well, then you'll just have to undo more buttons until you get to it 00:01:31.240 --> 00:01:33.240 I don't think this is good 00:01:35.520 --> 00:01:39.640 Chain and pinky ring pinkie signet ring 00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:47.000 On the day of the land show oh man 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:50.000 And 00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:57.640 Cool should we do this thing we are a little late today because I was shooting a video what? 00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:05.120 No, yeah, oh well here.

I like it 00:03:59.880 --> 00:04:03.160 It's good good product products should be confusing 00:04:04.160 --> 00:04:06.960 Okay, what their value is should be confusing 00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:19.920 Okay, well that's interesting is this pre-show. Yes.

How do I always forget that I'm the one who resumes the selected 00:05:16.960 --> 00:05:21.520 Some things are just meant to always be I've started the show for 00:05:23.640 --> 00:05:28.080 Ever yeah, that hasn't always been the method it's just been the method for I 00:05:29.640 --> 00:05:31.640 Don't know seven years 00:05:32.840 --> 00:05:37.800 Somewhere around there some plus or minus one I think And 00:05:45.440 --> 00:05:48.560 Really bad timing for this bad mythology announced their 00:05:49.880 --> 00:05:51.880 December team tournament and 00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:56.600 so everyone in their dog is out there like 00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:03.400 Recruiting teams and doing stuff and it's like the middle of the day on a Friday and I'm super busy and I'm going out of town 00:06:04.400 --> 00:06:06.680 And I'm just like 00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:13.280 How's he gonna do that how's he gonna know like what yeah, like I could find a team 00:06:13.280 --> 00:06:19.680 It's just like I wanted to build a team this year. I wanted to optimize the team and that's clearly not gonna be happening 00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:23.800 Frustrated so I'm probably just gonna miss it this year 00:06:25.520 --> 00:06:29.640 That sucks. Yeah You 00:06:31.320 --> 00:06:37.040 Should pre-range a tournament for next Computex like in Taiwan. Yeah 00:06:38.080 --> 00:06:42.360 That would be a lot of work and I will not be doing get buddy to do it 00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:49.000 I'm sure he'd do it that will not be necessary and the last thing I need to do is compete in a tournament in Taiwan 00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:55.060 The level of play is Very high there. I playing against me would be a waste of time 00:06:55.180 --> 00:07:00.540 Hey, yeah, are we gonna crushing me would not be worth the effort. However small that effort would be 00:07:01.460 --> 00:07:07.220 Yeah, are we gonna do Something for Halloween when oh, I don't know hello, man 00:07:08.020 --> 00:07:10.020 Hello, man. I like 00:07:15.700 --> 00:07:19.320 We could replace you with skeletons and then have you do the VO off-camera 00:07:26.060 --> 00:07:31.180 It's so funny, but it would be so bad. Yeah, it would just be a still frame 00:07:31.180 --> 00:07:37.860 You could pop it you could sit under the table get some beanbags or something little sticks on the wrists 00:07:39.020 --> 00:07:44.100 That would actually be pretty funny if we had like monitors under the table so we could see what it looked like 00:07:44.100 --> 00:07:48.300 I mean, we could do that for the intro of the show and then you could rip them out 00:07:50.020 --> 00:07:54.020 Actually sit down Pretty funny 00:07:55.060 --> 00:07:59.900 I Way on upside down from perfusion. It's kind of fun 00:08:01.300 --> 00:08:04.020 What oh, it's a flip link on it 00:08:07.620 --> 00:08:14.980 It should make all of these wrinkly that should be our okay, so we're way ahead of you there. It's a trick 00:08:15.180 --> 00:08:19.860 Yeah, but make it even worse Yeah 00:08:25.900 --> 00:08:30.180 You guys should swap chairs Spooky they look the same 00:08:30.580 --> 00:08:33.100 Yeah, but it'd be spooky. Yeah, I guess 00:08:33.820 --> 00:08:35.820 wrecked my thing I 00:08:37.220 --> 00:08:41.280 Often do it. It was not me this time. Hmm. Okay. Well, it's fixed now 00:08:42.940 --> 00:08:48.220 Do they know too bad Okay, what are they what are they gonna do about it? 00:08:49.900 --> 00:08:54.420 True They could stop 00:08:54.420 --> 00:09:01.380 Sure, and would that work well for them? How much more attention do you think this gets on the chair? 00:09:01.980 --> 00:09:09.620 To be honest, yeah, like like way more They would actually have to be brain-dead to get so mad about this that they stop sponsoring the land show 00:09:09.620 --> 00:09:13.580 There's no way I should be able to fix it like 00:09:14.580 --> 00:09:16.580 Oh 00:09:20.860 --> 00:09:24.220 Now Luke's broken. All right, now that doesn't work. No, I can fix it 00:09:28.820 --> 00:09:34.660 There oh nice good, that's do that's too much there 00:09:34.660 --> 00:09:44.460 All right, let's let's do this thing. I'm gonna do it 00:09:47.060 --> 00:09:49.300 We're doing the selected now, okay 00:10:05.500 --> 00:10:07.500 You 00:10:23.340 --> 00:10:30.020 Happy Friday everyone and oh welcome to the WAN Show we've got a great show lined up for you guys this week 00:10:32.420 --> 00:10:34.420 Do we know 00:10:35.660 --> 00:10:43.020 It'll be fine cabcom apparently doesn't see the value in bringing back their original games 00:10:43.780 --> 00:10:47.020 That's telling. No. No, okay. There is more to it than that. It's not it 00:10:47.700 --> 00:10:50.880 No, no, no, no, it's not like it's not like that 00:10:51.340 --> 00:10:57.300 Also, the pixel 10 pro fold has gotten a little spicy going up in smoke 00:10:57.300 --> 00:11:03.400 I think smoke is actually a charitable way of describing it during Jerry rig everything's bend test 00:11:03.400 --> 00:11:06.520 What else we got going on this week? Did Phillips abandon us? 00:11:07.640 --> 00:11:14.680 Phillips Phillips. He tried to pitch this for the title topic for the entire WAN Show. Are you that are you that is there? 00:11:15.520 --> 00:11:23.720 Phillips Like the light bulb and shaver company not caring about their old games just like almost every other game studio 00:11:24.520 --> 00:11:31.600 Okay, what else we got I Don't know you want to talk about the rock for the fourth time. No, it's got to be this one 00:11:34.280 --> 00:11:38.800 Oh, yeah, sure chappy chat GPT blue the loses 00:11:38.800 --> 00:11:44.600 It's darn mind if you ask it about a seahorse emoji. It's pretty funny. It is pretty funny 00:11:44.760 --> 00:11:46.760 The 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:04.040 Show is a brought to you today by 00:12:04.920 --> 00:12:08.120 Robe lab AMD 00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:13.520 MSI green man gaming, of course alongside our rap partner D ran a laptop partner Dell and our chair partner 00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:19.040 Ball Turcus 00:12:19.040 --> 00:12:24.800 I'm pretty sure that's how you pronounce it. Yeah. Yep. Oh, they're both upside down now. Yep. Nice 00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:33.320 solid Secret lab secret lab that that's the one why don't we jump right into our headline topic today? 00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:37.920 Which is of course the pixel 10 pro fold causing the first 00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:46.360 Major phone blowing up controversy since what man, what was it the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 way back in the day? 00:12:47.160 --> 00:12:51.800 Although in fairness to oh, you're doing that already. No, no, don't do that now do that later 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:59.920 Do that later do that later. Okay. Okay. Okay during Zach from Jerry rig everything's durability testing of the pixel 10 pro fold 00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:05.120 He was able to break the phone close to the hinge with his hands. I mean 00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:13.120 Okay, in fairness in fairness to the pixel 10 pro fold. Have you seen that man's arms? 00:13:14.760 --> 00:13:19.400 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean if I didn't know that he was a tech youtuber 00:13:19.400 --> 00:13:26.760 I would think he was like a gym bro. There's a few out youtuber jacked tech youtubers. Yeah, I know 00:13:26.760 --> 00:13:30.880 Yeah, I don't really get it. I well actually I think I do get it. You know how 00:13:31.880 --> 00:13:37.960 Every time you're going through like a bit of a health kick you say to yourself, okay, I've got an idea 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:45.440 Every time I die in game or every time I you're saying we're all really bad a game fail an overclock 00:13:45.560 --> 00:13:50.080 Right, I'm gonna do I'm gonna do five push-ups. Are you the best at games then? 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:56.080 I think that what are you because I'm in great shape. No, no, no what I think is I think 00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:05.340 those like jacked Geeks and nerds are the ones who actually have the discipline to do it because every time I've ever come up with that idea 00:14:05.340 --> 00:14:07.840 I've done it like once and then 00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:14.160 No, I'll like I'll like die and I'll be like, oh, yeah, but like I'll be like I'm responding in like five seconds 00:14:14.160 --> 00:14:20.920 I'll just and then I just completely don't do it You need an additional layer of discipline, which is to play a game that actually works for it 00:14:20.920 --> 00:14:25.000 Yeah, oh dude and like it's one of those catch 22s, right? 00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:31.140 Because if I had the discipline to be disciplined enough to work out while I'm gaming I 00:14:32.040 --> 00:14:35.760 Wouldn't need that discipline because I would already have the discipline to just work out 00:14:40.800 --> 00:14:49.000 Come on it's the same kind of discipline To force yourself to not do the thing you want to do so you can eat your vegetables, you know 00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:52.440 So you can do the thing you know you're supposed to be doing. I think it's a little different 00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:56.200 You think it's different things a little different location changing is a heck of a thing 00:14:56.760 --> 00:15:00.920 I think it's honestly for me. It's playing the game that 00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:05.240 Accommodates that better for me every game accommodates that 00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:11.240 No, I'm pretty bad at video games. What if you're playing like okay? You bring up Counter-Strike all the time 00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:15.680 What if you're playing Counter-Strike, but it's like oh dude, I could do dude, but it's like free for all 00:15:15.680 --> 00:15:19.240 I would at my my well. Yeah, but still you're just gonna instant spawn 00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:25.640 No, you'll you'll still have match in between matches and stuff. That's it takes a little while you got a some of them 00:15:25.640 --> 00:15:31.720 I don't think and you got to see everybody's beautiful gun skins standing on their little podium and everything at the end of the round 00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:37.360 I'm not talking about matchmaking. I'm talking about like server browser free for all. Oh, I'm okay sure 00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:42.000 But even then when there's a map change, I think there's like a like a winner thing not very calm 00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:46.360 Then you should do really fast push-ups I 00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:52.240 Don't think that's a valid excuse There are definitely games or there's an enough time between 00:15:53.520 --> 00:16:01.200 Anyway after repeated bends the battery apparently became so compromised that it went up in 00:16:01.800 --> 00:16:05.740 Smoke and we've got a very very very brief 00:16:06.400 --> 00:16:11.560 Marvel television ad one moment, please. Does anybody care anymore? No 00:16:12.560 --> 00:16:14.560 Well, yes, but yeah 00:16:17.680 --> 00:16:23.880 Okay, that's all I'm gonna show you you gotta go watch because you're gonna have to go watch the video on his channel 00:16:23.880 --> 00:16:26.940 Yeah, yeah great video loves act does great work 00:16:28.640 --> 00:16:35.040 Wow, this is the first phone that has failed in this way during Zach's durability testing 00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:39.200 I fixed it's Elizabeth Chamberlain told the verge though as 00:16:39.880 --> 00:16:46.600 Dramatic as the battery fire is we don't think this is necessarily a sign that something is wrong with the pixel 10 pro fold 00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:50.840 Design and something that some random person on reddit 00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:56.120 I don't have the citation here because it's not in my notes also noticed that was that the phone was 00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:04.440 Seemingly fully charged when Zach performed his Bend test and the amount of charge the charge state of the battery 00:17:05.080 --> 00:17:12.720 Impacts directly how much energy is stored in it and therefore what the risk of catastrophic failure could be 00:17:13.840 --> 00:17:20.280 Until I would I would I would tend to agree until we start seeing more of these 00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:28.760 A more of these failures in the wild I wouldn't necessarily go. Yeah, that's why you shouldn't buy a pixel 10 pro fold 00:17:29.560 --> 00:17:35.920 I Would say there's plenty of other reasons not to buy a pixel 10 pro fold 00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:40.400 It's just it's gotten it's gotten ridiculous Luke. It's too 00:17:41.280 --> 00:17:46.400 Expensive and to be clear this applies equally to Samsung's folding devices 00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:52.560 Like we're talking about by the time, you know, we account for currency conversion, but even in US dollars 00:17:52.560 --> 00:17:56.240 We're talking about devices that by the time you you know pay sales tax on them 00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:01.640 They're getting dangerously close to a couple thousand US dollars. I mean, you know for us 00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:06.480 We're talking well over twenty five hundred Canadian dollars for a phone. Like when did this happen? 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:15.960 With the folds mostly I mean phone prices have been creeping slightly, but I honestly don't think for a while there there was a 00:18:17.040 --> 00:18:21.280 It feels like there was a relatively big jump a while ago and since then they've been 00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:28.960 Relatively flat. I think that big jump from my perspective though might have been pixels trying to catch up with Apple pricing 00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:32.720 So I know there was news articles coming out talking about how 00:18:33.520 --> 00:18:39.640 Google was Perceiving that their phones were valued as lower than iPhones because the price was lower 00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:46.040 So they actually raised the price for like marketing reasons also because it's nice to raise your price 00:18:46.040 --> 00:18:50.720 But like yeah, part of it was legitimately being like no look we want to be in the same category 00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:54.600 I don't know if that's the entire problem Google. I 00:18:55.280 --> 00:19:01.040 Yeah, I think the problem is one man. Okay, this is an interesting conversation 00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:07.480 How would you fix? Google's branding and positioning issue and to be clear 00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:13.920 I'm not saying that it's a universal problem like what's Android's market share in like India 00:19:13.920 --> 00:19:18.560 It's like 90% or something like that. I don't I don't know that that number is quite right 00:19:18.560 --> 00:19:23.440 but it's like extremely one-sided in certain markets towards Android, but 00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:29.120 specifically in the US for younger US buyers Apple is 00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:34.920 dominant like absolutely completely dominant and 00:19:35.080 --> 00:19:44.240 Not because the price is higher the price is higher so that Apple can be very profitable on all the iPhones that they sell to young Americans 00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:51.560 The reason that they're able to commend this pricing is because of the brand association that quite frankly 00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:54.880 Google just doesn't have Google doesn't have a sexy 00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:58.120 brand and because of the way that Apple 00:19:59.120 --> 00:20:02.720 locks in their users through their social lives and 00:20:03.360 --> 00:20:06.760 You know not just in ways that you and I would kind of 00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:14.240 mock Where people will be socially ostracized for not having an iPhone because that's the dumbest thing ever 00:20:14.840 --> 00:20:21.160 But in ways that are are even more effective than that like it's not just the color of the bubble 00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:26.160 It's the fact that you know if you're the one person who doesn't have an iPhone then your group chats 00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:28.400 You know won't work properly or whatever else and 00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:35.280 Theoretically that is you know addressed through RCS, but I don't know what your experience has been like with RCS 00:20:35.280 --> 00:20:39.360 Mine's been a little bit inconsistent and it fails over to 00:20:39.840 --> 00:20:41.840 classic SMS or MMS on 00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:51.760 Not a frequent basis, but on a sometimes basis on a more than I don't have a data connection right now basis 00:20:51.760 --> 00:20:58.680 So it's just not quite It it's not quite there the vast majority of people I talked to these days 00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:07.120 Converse over discord to the point where like I know an entire company that I work with closely often works entirely through 00:21:07.120 --> 00:21:12.140 discord All of their employees talk through discord a 00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:16.560 Lot of the creators that I'll talk to you for full playing at whatever else 00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:25.240 Like to converse through discord more than anything else Well, the thing is that discord is multi-platform. That's always been my issue with I mess 00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:33.120 That's what I'm kind of saying is like I don't actually run into this very often Right because not a ton of people that I talked to use texting. You're not a teenage American boy 00:21:33.120 --> 00:21:41.920 It's weird that they're going back to texting Look, I don't I don't get it either because to me the simple fact that an app is not multi-platform 00:21:42.360 --> 00:21:47.320 makes it utterly irrelevant because I won't always be on that platform and 00:21:48.120 --> 00:21:51.000 It makes sense that in your social circle 00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:56.600 The the platform of choice would be discord because basically any gamer would have that exact same problem 00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:02.120 You're not gonna be on your MacBook or your iPad or your iPhone while you're playing video games 00:22:02.120 --> 00:22:08.160 A lot of these people are professionals with like their photos like them in business attire and 00:22:08.560 --> 00:22:13.040 Their name is like their first name and then the business that they work for 00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:20.200 Okay, but are the gamers? I don't know to be honest. Oh, okay. That's fair enough like actually genuinely. Don't know maybe 00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:25.880 That's fair enough, but I guess what I'm trying to say is okay 00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:32.080 The I definitely see it for the gamer demographic, but even if you just have to use a Windows laptop for work then yeah 00:22:32.080 --> 00:22:36.400 It's like automatically the second you have to use any device 00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:44.920 That is not a Mac or an I something then you just it did you just you can't just have all of your correspondences 00:22:45.840 --> 00:22:53.120 sequestered onto one Ecosystem of devices if you ever have to touch another ecosystem Nepal is using it for voting for their country's leader 00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:59.200 And they were using it for coordinating discord. Yeah, and they were using it for coordinating. They're like 00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:04.840 Uprising is that the right term hopefully oh 00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:11.320 Yeah, I mean discord was the primary thing used there Wow 00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:16.840 But like what I'm what I'm wondering if I'm detecting is if Android nerds 00:23:17.760 --> 00:23:29.000 use discord It's like what's the most popular type of phone in Nepal, I mean it's not America so Android probably 00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:31.240 That's what I'm assuming. Yeah, I 00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:38.920 Don't know that you will That's great. I'll plow down in Floatplane chat says you mean literal discord 00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:47.560 Yes Yeah Wow an AI overview guess I just won't read that. Yeah, that's my new thing 00:23:47.560 --> 00:23:53.280 I don't even know if it's new maybe I've even talked about it before but I am trying to have the discipline to not even read them 00:23:53.280 --> 00:24:01.120 Nice, I know you can disable them. I know you can disable them my general approach to using services operating systems 00:24:02.120 --> 00:24:10.320 Devices is that I try to leave things pretty close to default because I'm trying to have the default user experience for the most part 00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:14.400 So I have left them enabled, but that doesn't mean that I can't 00:24:15.040 --> 00:24:23.600 Discipline myself to not read them, but I want to know how Google search is generally working for most people as just a professional curiosity 00:24:24.440 --> 00:24:28.840 Sorry, what it what were we looking at there? Apple was 25% 00:24:28.840 --> 00:24:37.760 Okay, so Xiaomi is 21 and a half Samsung is 20 and then it's real me vivo unknown, right all the all the rest. Yeah. Yeah, yeah 00:24:37.760 --> 00:24:39.760 Makes sense 00:24:40.760 --> 00:24:45.160 So That's it a pixel 10 pro fold blew up 00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:51.960 Honestly, I think the bigger issue is just pricing and I have no idea how this gets fixed because I 00:24:53.120 --> 00:24:57.800 Mean Apple keeps being rumored To be working on a folding phone as well 00:24:57.800 --> 00:25:02.160 And I could see Apple moving into folding phones pushing them into the mainstream more 00:25:02.800 --> 00:25:07.280 increasing the volumes of these of these screens that need to be produced and therefore 00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:12.880 Making them overall more affordable for everyone like I could I could see that being something that could 00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:17.680 cause them to become more affordable and more mainstream, but 00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:25.840 While one of the theories out there is that the iPhone air is kind of a first attempt at moving to 00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:31.440 Like a thinner phone design so that Apple can eventually make a folding device. I 00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:36.800 Just don't really know if I just don't really know if I see it happening anytime soon 00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:40.480 like it's been rumored for so long and 00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:50.160 It's been very clear what the issues with folding devices are and those issues are not going away 00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:54.720 And all of that's been going on for so long that I just don't really see the light at the end of the tunnel 00:25:55.360 --> 00:25:59.320 Like the issues are clearly around durability 00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:02.240 hinge quality 00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:08.240 Scratch resistance of the screen like you've got you've got on the very very high end of Android 00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:14.240 You've got these folding devices that you can you know almost scratch with a fingernail at a point 00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:21.240 And then you've got Apple that's shipping devices that have screens that are so flipping hard that you know 00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:26.800 Zach also Zach from Jerry Rigg everything had to kind of change his his little spiel about 00:26:26.840 --> 00:26:34.080 You know lightly scratches and they we moved a whole we moved a whole level up on most scale of hardness, which is 00:26:34.360 --> 00:26:37.600 Yeah, pretty darn cool. Yeah, so are they gonna give up those gains? 00:26:38.360 --> 00:26:42.640 for what So that they can sell fewer iPads 00:26:43.360 --> 00:26:47.760 People that I know that have folding phones end up just using the like 00:26:48.280 --> 00:26:51.520 Skinny main screen well when you're typing it's better 00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:57.880 Like I I daily the full three four Typing is better a lot of times you just need to respond to something quickly and then put your phone away 00:26:57.880 --> 00:27:02.560 Yep, so you don't want to unfold it and go through this whole process. You just want to answer quickly, but I mean 00:27:02.560 --> 00:27:09.760 But the big screen I mean, it's it's great for work and it's great for remote desktop. It's great for content consumption 00:27:09.760 --> 00:27:15.840 It's great for reading which I'm also content consumption, but I think content consumption has sort of a connotation of like 00:27:16.840 --> 00:27:20.480 Videos video. Yeah, or maybe maybe games 00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:27.040 I would say gaming probably doesn't fall under category. I'd say that's its own because you don't consume a game 00:27:27.880 --> 00:27:32.640 You interact with a game You know 00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:37.760 He's having a thing there's no arguments that you interact with a video as well 00:27:37.760 --> 00:27:42.200 He's having a thing there's arguments that you interact with do you though? Yeah, are they interacting with this video right now? 00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:46.120 Okay, well we're live. That's different all the players live. That's different. You might chat 00:27:47.080 --> 00:27:49.080 But watching a live stream is definitely content consumption 00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:55.960 Oh For sure. I want to move on. This is making me uncomfortable 00:27:57.560 --> 00:28:09.280 Capcom doesn't See the value in bringing back their original games last year Capcom released the original versions of the first three resident evils on 00:28:09.520 --> 00:28:16.680 PC but Apparently it took some real convincing from the folks at good old games per GOG's 00:28:19.320 --> 00:28:23.120 I'm not even gonna try I'm gonna butcher his name. So sorry about that per GOG 00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:31.620 Capcom said we have all these remakes. They're they're already a superior experience to those original games 00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:36.920 So they really didn't see the value in bringing back the vanilla versions 00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:42.680 GOG says that the re-releases have been a success though and have proved 00:28:43.000 --> 00:28:46.920 GOG's argument that gamers want the originals was correct 00:28:47.640 --> 00:28:54.360 So our discussion question here is do you think it's important to preserve the original versions of old games on modern platforms? 00:28:54.840 --> 00:28:58.840 Even after modern remasters or remakes are released 00:28:59.320 --> 00:29:02.680 I do think so. I think so too. Why yeah, I 00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:07.800 I think sometimes people say like oh nostalgia glasses rose tinted glasses, whatever 00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:18.360 I think sometimes you do accurately remember what it was like And those graphics due to the nostalgia, maybe or whatever else. I don't know you might find those graphics charming for whatever reason 00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:23.480 I just want to play it how it was and it's about more than just graphics. I mean back when I 00:29:24.120 --> 00:29:29.000 I didn't I wasn't on top of it. So I didn't do it. But when uh blizzard 00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:34.920 Kind of removed their older Warcraft titles from GOG 00:29:35.560 --> 00:29:40.440 Because you know, well reforged is like, you know better now or whatever. I I had really 00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:43.480 I didn't really want to give Activision Blizzard any money 00:29:44.120 --> 00:29:48.120 But I really wanted to own those original versions of those games 00:29:48.520 --> 00:29:55.720 And I didn't have my old cd keys or anything and so I was like I I'm very tempted to pick up copies of these before I can't get 00:29:55.800 --> 00:30:02.760 Them anymore because I don't necessarily want your fixed balance. Yeah, I don't necessarily want your enhanced 00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:08.360 Experiences and in the case of like in the case of single player experiences, for instance 00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:12.600 Maybe you want to play the old buggy version and mess around with speed running 00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:15.880 Maybe you want the controls to be clunky because that's more like what it was 00:30:16.440 --> 00:30:24.760 Yeah, yeah, or yeah, that's another really good point And the reason that I actually picked this as a wancho topic this week is that I'm about 00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:28.440 30 hours into playing a remake 00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:35.480 of Of a beloved game for me from that I played when I was much younger a final fantasy tactics 00:30:35.880 --> 00:30:40.680 So the remake is called the evil east chronicles and they have improved 00:30:41.560 --> 00:30:48.520 a lot Like the the modern nice to haves like when you're in a fight now you can just 00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:54.360 Go back to the world map and and you you won't end up like there was there was a 00:30:55.000 --> 00:31:01.400 Particularly notorious fight in this game where you are you have to win a battle 00:31:02.040 --> 00:31:09.800 And then you go into Another battle like subsequently without being able to go back to the world map and like redo all your 00:31:10.600 --> 00:31:16.600 All your equipment or like grind a few more levels Whatever it is you might feel like you need to do you go straight into the second fight 00:31:16.840 --> 00:31:22.040 And you have to 1v1 a really powerful opponent who has initiative on you and like 00:31:23.000 --> 00:31:27.160 If you didn't build your main character, which you would have no way of knowing to do 00:31:27.960 --> 00:31:33.720 Around winning this fight you could end up essentially with a no progression state 00:31:34.360 --> 00:31:41.560 If you didn't happen to save Early enough to go back and and grind up and learn useful abilities for this fight 00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:47.640 Final fantasy six had a few moments like that. Mm-hmm. So, you know the new version of tactics has has 00:31:48.600 --> 00:31:53.320 Very much nice to have modern creature comforts that allow you to 00:31:53.880 --> 00:31:59.080 Back out of that fight at that point you obviously lose any exp or items that you gained during this progression, but 00:31:59.800 --> 00:32:04.040 No matter what it's got autosave, which is nice. You can just go back out and go do some stuff 00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:08.680 um, but what I noticed is that some of the 00:32:09.320 --> 00:32:14.760 Modern niceties have actually taken away from the game 00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:20.120 They've made it. So there's certain content that you can just skip 00:32:21.320 --> 00:32:25.720 You can just not bother with so one of the things that they added that 00:32:26.600 --> 00:32:31.400 I've definitely felt was really nice is the ability to flee from random battles 00:32:32.360 --> 00:32:36.760 So it used to be that as you were moving around on the world map every time you passed over 00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:39.640 Certain location anything but anything but a city 00:32:40.520 --> 00:32:44.840 You could hit a random battle because it's final fantasy. That's sort of that's part of the game 00:32:44.840 --> 00:32:52.760 That's sort of a core element of final fantasy is the annoyance and frustration in the grind of random battles 00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:59.240 and So being able to skip them is great because when you go to the towns and you go to the tavern 00:32:59.720 --> 00:33:05.400 There's these missions that you can send your party members off on and they'll come back with 00:33:06.040 --> 00:33:09.160 Job points so they'll like level up their job abilities 00:33:09.880 --> 00:33:12.120 Which is like your class. Yeah, they'll get gold 00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:19.720 So you some of them can be extremely lucrative and then you'll you'll also find like random relics or whatever 00:33:19.800 --> 00:33:24.040 So you can become a treasure hunter. It doesn't really have any benefit, but it plays a nice 00:33:24.760 --> 00:33:30.920 You know Dopamine releasing music and your characters jump around and get excited about it. So whatever sure great 00:33:31.640 --> 00:33:34.520 Um, but the way that you do these is you go to the town 00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:40.600 And then you you assign a few of your a few of your random party members to go off on this mission 00:33:41.240 --> 00:33:46.280 and then every Dot that you go over on the map is one day 00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:53.080 And the mission lasts for usually anywhere from like nine to 14 days or kind of somewhere in that range 00:33:53.640 --> 00:33:58.360 So the whole idea of this mechanic was that you had to build up 00:33:59.240 --> 00:34:02.440 a whole roster of party members besides just 00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:08.120 Your main five that you take into every fight because they're your best ones and 00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:14.520 They only become more bester the more that you use them because they'll continue to level up and level up and level up 00:34:14.920 --> 00:34:20.360 Um, so you had to maintain a larger roster so that you had guys to send on these missions 00:34:20.680 --> 00:34:25.400 And so that you could survive the random fights that you would go through before you could come get your guys back 00:34:25.640 --> 00:34:29.720 With all their their booty right well now you can just 00:34:31.160 --> 00:34:37.640 Move around on the map for a little bit Flee from all the fights and then just collect the golden job points. So you didn't you didn't earn it 00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:42.120 That's why I mentioned my thing about controls Um is like in 00:34:42.200 --> 00:34:46.600 Say the original starcraft you could only select a certain amount of units if I remember correctly 00:34:47.080 --> 00:34:51.400 In one drag select and then I don't remember but was there bindable groups? 00:34:52.120 --> 00:34:55.480 Uh, I'm trying to remember like like shift one. Yeah. Yeah 00:34:56.200 --> 00:35:01.640 Starcraft warcraft 3 definitely had it 3. Yeah, I don't remember if starcraft had it 00:35:03.080 --> 00:35:09.720 Uh, the the mcg says yes starcraft had it. I don't think warcraft 2 had it different forms of it or something 00:35:09.720 --> 00:35:15.720 But either way there's like there's like microing shortcuts that kind of come in in later versions 00:35:16.120 --> 00:35:19.240 Which are a difficulty changer 100% 00:35:19.960 --> 00:35:27.640 So like having those old Controls might feel worse. Sure, but it might make the game easier 00:35:28.600 --> 00:35:37.000 Right. Oh, yeah, which is like Basically the thing that you're saying but it's it's slightly different as through the control route, but it's like oh, I've got one 00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:43.400 That's very similar Sure So another really nice to have is that in final fantasy tactics the original 00:35:43.800 --> 00:35:48.120 When you moved on the battlefield, it would say are you sure and you'd be like yes 00:35:49.320 --> 00:35:57.160 You're moved It's like chess rules once you let go of the piece. It's there. It doesn't matter if immediately go. Oh my god 00:35:57.720 --> 00:36:00.440 No, no. Oh, no, it doesn't matter. You're there 00:36:01.080 --> 00:36:04.280 um, and one of the things that made that 00:36:05.160 --> 00:36:07.880 really challenging was that depending on 00:36:08.760 --> 00:36:12.600 my zodiac sign and your zodiac sign 00:36:13.080 --> 00:36:16.600 And my specific characters attributes and yours 00:36:17.240 --> 00:36:22.600 I could do dramatically different damage with the same attack to one opponent versus another one 00:36:23.400 --> 00:36:28.120 But once I moved I couldn't know how much until I moved within range 00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:34.040 And made and and like lined up an attack information and then it would and then it would predict 00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:43.000 You know, how much damage I'm going to do got it And that can be really important in a tactics game because a difference of 10 percent in my damage dealing 00:36:43.320 --> 00:36:51.560 Could be the difference between a ko And over extending myself and completely turning the tide of the fight. Yeah, so in the remake 00:36:53.160 --> 00:36:56.920 You can just you can just shop around For the best move 00:36:56.920 --> 00:37:00.360 So you can just move there and go. Okay. How much damage can I do to that guy? 00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:04.680 Um, you know I okay now move there and then see how much damage I can do there 00:37:04.680 --> 00:37:09.240 And then I can undo my move and I can do that as many times as I want unless I have a certain ability equipped 00:37:09.640 --> 00:37:12.920 That is like a like a move find item or a move 00:37:15.560 --> 00:37:22.040 Gain job points or like something like that like there's certain abilities that that lock your ability to un-move that makes sense, but it makes it 00:37:23.160 --> 00:37:26.600 markedly markedly easier 00:37:28.120 --> 00:37:33.800 And The only way that they sort of countered all of this but was by adding a more difficult mode 00:37:33.800 --> 00:37:41.400 They added a tactician difficulty But they took the laziest possible approach to increasing difficulty where instead of 00:37:41.960 --> 00:37:46.360 Enhancing the enemy ai for instance like it still does shockingly stupid stuff 00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:52.120 Uh, they just do they just nerfed my damage and buffed theirs. Yeah, I hate that 00:37:52.600 --> 00:37:58.440 I hate just like number go up difficulty. Yeah stuff. I mean to a certain degree sure, but 00:37:59.160 --> 00:38:03.240 I think one of the most egregious modern examples of that is the oblivion remake 00:38:03.880 --> 00:38:07.400 Where there's like two difficulty levels. I don't remember what they are. I'm sure chat will know 00:38:08.120 --> 00:38:17.480 They've been on a thing today Where you jump up and it like doubles or triples the enemy hp like it's it's just a wild experience 00:38:17.720 --> 00:38:21.480 You play on one setting. It's like wow, this is way too easy. You play on the other setting. It's like, okay 00:38:21.880 --> 00:38:26.680 It feels like I'm playing a wall. Yeah, and I just have to stab this. Yeah adept to expert. Sure 00:38:26.680 --> 00:38:28.840 I don't know you just have to stab things like 00:38:31.080 --> 00:38:34.520 I don't know you go from like one shotting things to fights take three minutes 00:38:34.840 --> 00:38:40.680 Like it makes no sense at all and they recognize it pretty quick and I think they said that they were going to change it but 00:38:42.120 --> 00:38:46.920 Yikes, I mean fights and I I mean I didn't I only played the original oblivion 00:38:46.920 --> 00:38:49.800 But I know that I do remember some fights just being 00:38:50.680 --> 00:38:53.720 A grind to the point where it's almost like immersion breaking 00:38:54.040 --> 00:38:57.400 Oh, yeah, and then you have to because then it takes so long that you take a bunch of damage 00:38:57.400 --> 00:39:01.080 Now you have to run and heal for a while. So that adds to the total time and then well 00:39:01.240 --> 00:39:06.600 I just mean it at a certain point. It doesn't matter how tough you are if you're made of flesh 00:39:07.480 --> 00:39:09.880 And I'm holding a big giant 00:39:10.520 --> 00:39:17.960 Metal sharp thing. Sure. There's only so many times and like, you know, the animation has blood coming off of you 00:39:18.360 --> 00:39:21.480 Like it's just there were these um the original far cry 00:39:21.960 --> 00:39:27.720 Had these horrible like big brutes that show up towards the later stages of the game 00:39:28.040 --> 00:39:32.440 And I remember I'll take more bullets. I remember being stuck in this one point 00:39:33.240 --> 00:39:39.160 That was just incredibly frustrating because you had to kind of time it perfectly to get like 00:39:40.040 --> 00:39:44.280 It was like multiple rockets. You have to hit these stupid things with and I'm just like 00:39:44.600 --> 00:39:54.760 No No matter what you are no matter how tough you are if you are made of flesh and blood and bones 00:39:56.120 --> 00:39:59.880 A rocket Blows you up 00:39:59.880 --> 00:40:03.320 Like I'm no no bullets fine 00:40:03.560 --> 00:40:08.120 You know, you could you could be shot a few times and you could still be just like 00:40:08.680 --> 00:40:14.040 You know mess up enough to keep moving towards me or something like I can I I can handle 00:40:14.200 --> 00:40:16.920 There are some examples suspension of disbelief 00:40:17.400 --> 00:40:23.560 Around that or you know, you could be you could have a few arrows in you and you could like rip it off and like come 00:40:23.640 --> 00:40:26.360 After me or whatever like sure you could have a grenade 00:40:26.680 --> 00:40:29.800 You know go off next to you and it blows off your ARM or whatever 00:40:29.880 --> 00:40:34.760 But you still like, you know, you're not you're a zombie or something you stagger towards me and you like grab on to me 00:40:34.920 --> 00:40:41.160 I can I can get behind that close the odd artery while it blew your ARM off a rocket launcher to the face 00:40:41.240 --> 00:40:48.200 Like I still it's like one of those really old memories because I could have been no older than like when did far cry come out? 00:40:48.280 --> 00:40:52.040 Like I was I was like 16 or something right like it 00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:56.920 But I still remember it even though that was yeah, exactly 00:40:57.320 --> 00:41:03.640 Even though that was 21 years ago because I was just so mad because I died on this section a bunch of times 00:41:03.720 --> 00:41:08.360 I finally came up with an idea. I was like, okay I like I have one rocket 00:41:08.600 --> 00:41:13.480 And then I got my shot off like Perfectly I hit him in the face with it and I'm like, okay 00:41:13.960 --> 00:41:18.360 Surely that must have and I'm dead and it's just like that's not fun 00:41:19.800 --> 00:41:25.720 And you can you can limit the difficulty in other ways you can make you could make a rocket really hard to aim 00:41:26.360 --> 00:41:30.920 You know you make the crosshair move sure you could severely restrict the ammo 00:41:31.480 --> 00:41:34.440 Because it was already an issue in that game where you couldn't just like 00:41:34.760 --> 00:41:41.080 Like carry an unlimited number of weapons and stuff You see you could limit the number of weapons that I can carry I can only carry two weapons 00:41:41.080 --> 00:41:46.120 And so and I can only carry two rockets. Yeah, so taking the rocket launcher is like a huge ammo risk 00:41:46.200 --> 00:41:53.240 Yeah, just just just this huge there's huge downsides to it or whatever find you like find another way to fix the balance 00:41:53.240 --> 00:41:59.240 But be more creative than just hp go up hp go up. Yeah, it's not fun 00:41:59.640 --> 00:42:04.600 Yeah, unless you're the kind of person who just really enjoys that in which case we want to hear from you 00:42:06.200 --> 00:42:13.880 I'm kidding. I I don't yeah, I was like, uh, no, it's it's lazy. No, it's lazy design. It's lazy design. What are we talking about? 00:42:15.480 --> 00:42:19.720 What topic are we on? Capcom not see the value 00:42:19.960 --> 00:42:26.920 Yeah, I think I think Having original versions is cool for sure our discussion topic here from mr 00:42:27.080 --> 00:42:34.200 I'm not gonna go to a is why are some devs averse to re-releasing older games without touching them too much 00:42:34.680 --> 00:42:44.200 Are they being lazy? Are they being cheap? Um, are they scared the original so janky it could scare off potential buyers that one? I think I could see that one 00:42:44.360 --> 00:42:47.000 I think that's the main one. I think if you're releasing this 00:42:47.560 --> 00:42:54.840 Game on gog I think you're safe from that. I think so too. I mean that's that's what I think but you never know 00:42:54.840 --> 00:42:58.440 I mean brands are funny about their brands because when you launch that game 00:42:58.520 --> 00:43:04.040 It's still going to be a big giant capcom when you launch it and so if they're kind of sitting there going well 00:43:04.280 --> 00:43:09.000 I mean, yeah, we were pretty proud of that 25 years ago, but 00:43:09.080 --> 00:43:16.840 The games industry has sort of moved on and I could I could see people, you know creating a negative association between our brand and this like 00:43:17.320 --> 00:43:19.320 frustrating janky experience 00:43:20.520 --> 00:43:24.440 I've heard I've heard dumber arguments 00:43:24.520 --> 00:43:27.320 Around brand use. Yeah, for sure. I just think 00:43:28.920 --> 00:43:34.120 They also need to understand the positive association that would come with doing this and doing this the right way which I think 00:43:35.800 --> 00:43:42.600 I think is releasing it through gog I think they did do it the right way that positive association is to a completely different person though 00:43:42.840 --> 00:43:49.000 The positive association is with the nostalgia crowd or with the diehards who just you love the franchise 00:43:49.080 --> 00:43:52.440 And they want to go experience it the way that it was or something like that 00:43:52.840 --> 00:43:58.120 Whereas if almost literally anyone else ended up with this game, there's a really solid chance 00:43:58.120 --> 00:44:02.200 They wouldn't like it like I wouldn't have given my son original final fantasy tactics 00:44:02.760 --> 00:44:07.720 because It like didn't explain anything you just kind of get 00:44:08.280 --> 00:44:12.520 Dumped into it. You've no idea what to do. It's super frustrating. Was that a manual game? Was that like a 00:44:13.480 --> 00:44:19.080 Yeah, so like unless you have I mean you like maybe find a pdf and print off a replacement or something 00:44:19.400 --> 00:44:24.200 But unless you have the manual, it's not the same experience. I think that's like 00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:30.360 surprisingly easy to forget It's like experiencing something from that long ago now 00:44:33.240 --> 00:44:35.560 Is is difficult to truly make the same 00:44:36.920 --> 00:44:41.720 Because you kind of need everything that came with experiencing that to experience it properly 00:44:42.840 --> 00:44:49.000 Could hold vim's lair Final fantasy tactics manual. That's awesome actually here it is 00:44:53.720 --> 00:45:00.840 Oh, it's really slow cool that makes sense. I wonder if you people looked it up. Yep 00:45:02.360 --> 00:45:06.280 Nice that's cool man 00:45:06.280 --> 00:45:08.280 Manuals were pretty cool, dude 00:45:09.800 --> 00:45:14.200 Okay, okay, but like okay. Look at this. Look at this though like this is crazy 00:45:15.080 --> 00:45:20.360 In the new version they explain the importance of picking your zodiac sign 00:45:21.000 --> 00:45:23.640 Like they they explain it quite a bit 00:45:24.280 --> 00:45:27.960 Here enter the adventure I don't know bruv 00:45:27.960 --> 00:45:34.520 Just go for it After entering your character's name enter your birth date on the next screen in similar fashion using the start button to confirm 00:45:35.160 --> 00:45:40.920 Your birth date will affect zodiac sign which has an influence on your character's performance during battles see page 10 00:45:40.920 --> 00:45:44.040 But they're just like yeah, just yeah, go for it. Well, what's on page 10? 00:45:44.280 --> 00:45:48.120 All right, if it has a full matrix, then I will be then I'll think it's okay 00:45:51.240 --> 00:45:53.240 Uh 00:45:54.600 --> 00:46:00.040 Yeah Is this not page 10 because this looks like page 10 looks like a 10 00:46:00.600 --> 00:46:05.560 But I don't think we've scrolled enough times for it to be page 10 Uh 00:46:08.360 --> 00:46:10.760 Yeah, no not that useful 00:46:12.280 --> 00:46:20.360 cool The the vim thing says you're on page like seven now or something. Yeah, well we can three chat saying three but the corner said 10 00:46:21.320 --> 00:46:26.040 Yeah, well Cool chat saying three. Let's try three. Let's try three 00:46:27.400 --> 00:46:32.440 I'm gonna hear you out chat. Nope. That's definitely not it. All right. I don't know what they mean by three neat 00:46:32.840 --> 00:46:36.200 How are they both missing three? Anyway, the point is 00:46:36.840 --> 00:46:43.800 I've literally no idea what they're saying No, it's a j as in jack. I have actually no idea what they're saying 00:46:44.520 --> 00:46:46.920 J not three. What does j mean? 00:46:47.720 --> 00:46:53.400 J as in j. Oh like section j on page 10. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, okay here here here here 00:46:56.120 --> 00:46:59.480 Yeah, okay, this symbol indicates the unit's zodiac sign 00:47:00.200 --> 00:47:03.640 If the unit attacks an enemy with a compatible sign damage will be increased 00:47:04.600 --> 00:47:10.280 Uh, if signs are incompatible damage is decreased press the select button during battle to bring up a help menu and check the zodiac sign compatibility 00:47:10.360 --> 00:47:14.920 Okay, okay, you know what? That that's actually pretty okay 00:47:15.640 --> 00:47:19.400 I will say though that this is a flip in 00:47:20.520 --> 00:47:25.320 This is dense This is not user friendly. This is not for kids 00:47:25.880 --> 00:47:29.720 And This is just in some cases 00:47:30.280 --> 00:47:35.160 Indicating where to go to bring up a help menu built within the game that is also 00:47:35.960 --> 00:47:40.520 Not got the greatest translation. You liked it. Is it not for kids or is it not for kids now? 00:47:41.240 --> 00:47:44.840 I don't know and I don't know how I liked it. I really 00:47:46.680 --> 00:47:49.800 Like I'm thinking back to some of my first experiences playing this game 00:47:49.880 --> 00:47:52.360 Like I didn't I didn't know how to change your 00:47:53.000 --> 00:47:56.920 I didn't even know how to learn ever is morrowind. I didn't know it had a main quest 00:47:57.560 --> 00:48:05.000 Yeah for months. Okay. This is my morrowind. Yeah, like I ended up against a brick wall in this game because I didn't actually 00:48:05.640 --> 00:48:09.800 Twice within the first few battles because I didn't know how to learn additional abilities 00:48:10.680 --> 00:48:15.960 And I didn't know how to because I didn't have the manual actually I played it on an emulator for the first time 00:48:16.200 --> 00:48:22.360 So that's a big part of the reason that I bought this Was because I like needed to give square soft square enix now 00:48:22.520 --> 00:48:25.960 But I needed to give the money for it at some point because I'd already played the game a few times 00:48:26.600 --> 00:48:32.920 um so I didn't have a manual so I didn't know that you could like learn new abilities 00:48:33.240 --> 00:48:39.480 And so I just got really frustrated because I kept coming up against tougher and tougher enemies that had all these like amazing abilities 00:48:39.480 --> 00:48:41.720 And they could do magic and and I'm like 00:48:42.520 --> 00:48:49.160 Okay, so when do I level up? And then I didn't figure out changing jobs for a while either so 00:48:50.360 --> 00:48:53.800 I don't know how I figured out how to play this game to be honest with you because it's 00:48:54.840 --> 00:49:00.760 very deep Very complicated. I think sometimes that's what you want as a kid 00:49:01.400 --> 00:49:04.440 You think so you want to fight with something and like 00:49:06.200 --> 00:49:10.200 force learn it and And 00:49:10.200 --> 00:49:13.400 Impart your will onto it despite it being complicated and hard 00:49:13.560 --> 00:49:17.400 Maybe part of it is just like having time at that stage in your life 00:49:17.480 --> 00:49:24.120 Yeah, you have tons of time you have all the time you need a good rioja in Floatplane chat says I played xpacom 00:49:24.600 --> 00:49:29.880 Apocalypse when I was eight and finished it. I went back to it a few years ago. I have no idea how I did that. Yeah 00:49:31.560 --> 00:49:36.520 But you have almost no responsibilities tons of time and 00:49:38.440 --> 00:49:43.960 Yeah, a desire to pick things apart and learn things that is like almost unparalleled. I really didn't realize 00:49:44.520 --> 00:49:49.320 When I was in it how much free time I had when I was a kid like I felt like 00:49:50.040 --> 00:49:52.040 I did a lot of chores and honestly 00:49:53.880 --> 00:49:58.600 I did a fair amount of chores and stuff, but it's the it's like the mental load 00:49:58.920 --> 00:50:01.400 I was never thinking about that stuff 00:50:02.200 --> 00:50:06.040 When I had my free time when I had my free time my brain completely 00:50:07.000 --> 00:50:15.000 Switched over and I was free I remember thinking when I was a kid at one point in time that I was really excited to be an adult because then I wouldn't have homework 00:50:16.760 --> 00:50:21.800 Therefore more time. Yeah homework is just practice for working at home 00:50:23.720 --> 00:50:30.600 And like at at and and I fully understand that in a lot of work positions 00:50:31.320 --> 00:50:40.360 You can turn off being at work when you are not at work anymore. I will say that once you are at, you know, director 00:50:42.200 --> 00:50:46.120 VP executive C-suite level 00:50:47.960 --> 00:50:54.280 Most people I know they just effectively are working all the time. Yeah, no, it just doesn't like that. No, that's that's not how it works 00:50:55.240 --> 00:51:01.400 Yeah, and ninja man away says yeah not in teaching lol. Yeah, there's so there's lots of there's lots of jobs where 00:51:02.600 --> 00:51:05.080 You do get kind of like the summer in teaching 00:51:06.040 --> 00:51:10.200 Yes, so I mean it depends. Um, that's also fair 00:51:11.240 --> 00:51:14.520 Not with your current wages because now you got to do summer school or some other job 00:51:14.520 --> 00:51:23.320 Coming from a family of teachers I definitely have some thoughts on how educators compensation has scaled over my lifetime and 00:51:24.040 --> 00:51:27.800 I definitely know some educators with families who 00:51:28.600 --> 00:51:32.760 Definitely do not have summers off because not because they have to teach at school 00:51:32.840 --> 00:51:37.880 But because they have to find some other job, you know, uh teach badminton classes or 00:51:38.920 --> 00:51:41.400 Do something else so that's a whole 00:51:42.280 --> 00:51:50.120 Separate conversation, especially when we consider the importance of teacher's role in society. Yeah 00:51:50.680 --> 00:51:57.000 Um You should want them being pretty good. You should really want them to be like awesome 00:51:57.720 --> 00:52:04.280 um Especially when you consider how many things a teacher needs to be awesome at 00:52:04.920 --> 00:52:12.680 Like they've got a teach Yes, well, and you never know when you're getting like side swiped by some random question about something that isn't your field 00:52:12.840 --> 00:52:18.440 They need to be, you know counselors. Sometimes they need to be suspect often mediators 00:52:18.760 --> 00:52:24.120 Sometimes they're expected to be these like jack of all trades, especially in elementary school 00:52:24.120 --> 00:52:28.200 They're expected to teach like every subject. They have to be, you know, somewhat athletic 00:52:28.600 --> 00:52:34.360 So they can like teach pe but also they need to know math and english and everything else and 00:52:35.880 --> 00:52:37.880 Yeah 00:52:39.480 --> 00:52:41.480 Yeah, uh 00:52:42.600 --> 00:52:46.360 Next topic Sure, Dan, what do you want us to do because that's two main topics 00:52:47.000 --> 00:52:55.160 I mean, we can move over to Some cw announcements if do Dan, do you just tell us what to do? I mean, do we have a lot of topics? 00:52:57.720 --> 00:53:02.280 Yeah, why not let's do the cw announcement. This is the man that is truly in charge 00:53:04.200 --> 00:53:12.280 Yep He said cw announcements. Oh, right. I got uh, he commanded. I don't know where to find them jump in the middle 00:53:12.680 --> 00:53:16.120 I don't know where to find them in the middle Dan. I don't know how to do this show with the middle 00:53:16.120 --> 00:53:19.160 They're at the very top. Yeah, they're at the top Dan. Oh, because there's no main topics 00:53:19.240 --> 00:53:23.800 Yeah, we don't have main topics this week. They're at the top cw announcements note 00:53:25.320 --> 00:53:28.040 What chat is making me very tired today 00:53:28.520 --> 00:53:32.120 No, you just seem really tired today. Are you cranky? You seem cranky and tired 00:53:32.680 --> 00:53:35.880 You've said that every week for so long. Well 00:53:37.560 --> 00:53:41.720 Maybe you should especially this week. Maybe you should sleep a little more 00:53:42.280 --> 00:53:45.720 and eat a bit more My goodness 00:53:45.720 --> 00:53:49.720 Are you very tired today? I am a little tired. My wrist is like debalished 00:53:50.760 --> 00:53:55.720 Oh from your your project Have you talked to them about that? 00:53:55.880 --> 00:53:59.160 I'm trying to remember. I don't think super extensively. Okay. Talked a little bit 00:53:59.240 --> 00:54:03.320 Do you want to talk about that? You don't have to not particularly. I don't think it's that interesting 00:54:03.400 --> 00:54:07.160 I mean, it kind of sucks. It's kind of interesting. I think it's interesting. I 00:54:08.600 --> 00:54:12.120 Why don't you tell the people about it? Okay? Um, so 00:54:13.240 --> 00:54:18.040 My place As with basically every place you're going to get most likely 00:54:18.520 --> 00:54:24.360 Was purchased off of someone else in my situation that person passed away. So it was an estate sale 00:54:25.480 --> 00:54:31.800 The estate was dissolved shortly after the sale. So there's nothing for us to go after but there was a bunch of 00:54:32.680 --> 00:54:41.960 undisclosed damage That we learned through the strata. I have told been told that for americans. That's the homeowner's association 00:54:43.240 --> 00:54:47.800 HOA. Yep. I don't know if that's true for apartments still or whatever. I think it's kind of the same idea 00:54:48.040 --> 00:54:54.200 People generally know what an HOA is. Yeah, we call it a strata. It's that thing but for an apartment building or condo building 00:54:54.520 --> 00:55:00.440 um I was informed through that that my unit had a bunch of leaks in it with the previous owner 00:55:00.840 --> 00:55:07.080 We thought that that was centralized to one location and that it was dealt with a while ago 00:55:07.320 --> 00:55:14.760 Because we dealt with it a while ago Turns out it was not because there was more than one set of leaks that happened 00:55:15.560 --> 00:55:20.520 We solved the one set of leaks that happened. Turns out there was a second set of leaks that happened 00:55:20.760 --> 00:55:25.240 What about second? We're pretty sure because they did tell us this much 00:55:25.400 --> 00:55:29.640 They told us to not use the dishwasher when we moved in because the seal was not good 00:55:29.880 --> 00:55:36.200 Yeah We're pretty sure that they learned the seal was not good by it flooding the house. Nice and they didn't say that part 00:55:36.440 --> 00:55:42.520 Right. So how our unit works. I'm going to use some I'm going to do some really good paint 00:55:42.760 --> 00:55:50.520 This is going to be amazing. This is great. Uh jpef in Floatplane chat goes hoas aka the league of extraordinary carons 00:55:51.560 --> 00:55:55.480 Yeah, it's crazy, dude. I wanted uh, so we have a mini split in my unit 00:55:55.880 --> 00:55:59.640 So that's an air conditioner. Yeah, and I wanted to have 00:56:00.360 --> 00:56:05.160 a second head so a second Fan thing that makes it cold 00:56:06.120 --> 00:56:11.720 Sure, uh, and Basically, we wanted two rooms to be aced instead of just one room 00:56:12.520 --> 00:56:17.400 And we were told no Because the unit that goes outside 00:56:17.800 --> 00:56:23.960 Did you say it doesn't know? Oh, you just switch back. That makes sense. The unit that goes outside is mounted like in a certain spot 00:56:26.200 --> 00:56:31.800 Go away internet, um, and it would have had to move for reasons and been somewhere else 00:56:31.960 --> 00:56:38.360 And I demonstrated with art like decent art actually how I would have made it like this. No 00:56:39.400 --> 00:56:43.400 How I would have made it. I'm just checking not bothersome to the other people. Right, right, right, right 00:56:43.880 --> 00:56:49.320 And they still were just like nope No one else has done it or can do it. So you can't do it 00:56:49.720 --> 00:56:53.640 So my problem is that it feels like 00:56:56.440 --> 00:57:01.160 It feels like we have Man, this is this is going way off the rails now 00:57:01.480 --> 00:57:07.560 But I feel like we have a bit of a societal problem right now where saying no is easy 00:57:08.440 --> 00:57:12.840 yeah and problem-solving is hard 00:57:14.200 --> 00:57:18.360 but Saying no sucks 00:57:18.680 --> 00:57:22.200 And solving problem problem solving means that you have solved a problem 00:57:22.840 --> 00:57:26.120 And I just I feel like somehow and and I've gone through this 00:57:26.920 --> 00:57:29.960 So I've gone through so much bureaucracy 00:57:30.600 --> 00:57:34.120 in the last 13 years running a business you just 00:57:34.840 --> 00:57:38.840 You just come up against bureaucracy as just part of your daily 00:57:39.880 --> 00:57:41.880 life and I 00:57:43.240 --> 00:57:45.800 I think that it has been the single most 00:57:47.640 --> 00:57:49.640 Aging tiring 00:57:51.640 --> 00:57:55.720 Just life draining part of being alive 00:57:56.120 --> 00:57:59.880 for the last 13 years. It's like dealing with other annoying people. Well, it's not 00:58:00.440 --> 00:58:05.240 It's not even that they're annoying Right, because they're not 00:58:05.480 --> 00:58:14.040 they're not Sure, but they're not trying to be annoying. They just it's it's through incompetence or 00:58:15.480 --> 00:58:23.160 laziness or apathy Sometimes stupidity. They don't actually understand the question and then that that 00:58:23.720 --> 00:58:26.520 Stupidity plus apathy is a really potent 00:58:27.160 --> 00:58:32.760 Combination in a bureaucrat because they don't understand and they don't really care to understand 00:58:33.720 --> 00:58:38.360 Which is just it's a brick wall and 00:58:39.240 --> 00:58:45.000 And I just It's at the point now where it's such an obstacle to getting anything done 00:58:45.000 --> 00:58:49.640 I mean look at how long it took us to get whale land done and that was with 00:58:50.440 --> 00:58:55.720 A lot of support and so I want to take a moment to shout out the city of Surrey actually 00:58:56.120 --> 00:58:58.840 Because of the people there that were 00:58:59.560 --> 00:59:02.060 Very helpful and helped us overcome 00:59:02.920 --> 00:59:06.280 the apathetic lazy 00:59:06.280 --> 00:59:10.920 Sometimes seemingly malicious Individuals that stood in the way 00:59:11.640 --> 00:59:18.760 Um Because it was fine to do whale land and we did a whale land the video is coming and it was great and it was fun 00:59:18.840 --> 00:59:26.440 It was awesome and it was a boon to the city So even with the mayor on board and the council on board and thinking this is a good idea 00:59:27.160 --> 00:59:31.000 just the amount of bureaucratic 00:59:31.000 --> 00:59:34.680 obstruction that could be put in place by by 00:59:35.560 --> 00:59:43.800 Sometimes just one person from project to project right like you never know when bam it's gonna hit you and someone just 00:59:44.920 --> 00:59:52.120 had a bad day one day And said no and is a principled person who once they've decided something 00:59:53.320 --> 00:59:56.680 Expects that that's just the decision now and it's like 01:00:00.440 --> 01:00:06.760 Like we we need a solution and you can either be part of the solution or you're an obstacle. Those are it's it's kind of binary here 01:00:07.320 --> 01:00:13.320 um Anyway, what i'm trying to say is that's horrible 01:00:14.120 --> 01:00:19.480 And it's like it's not the end of the world. Okay, so what luke can't have two heads on his mini split. He's not going to die 01:00:20.040 --> 01:00:26.120 It's not that kind of horrible, but it's just it's draining. I mean it drains your life force 01:00:26.280 --> 01:00:30.280 There's there's is a problem in my unit where yeah the building that we're in 01:00:30.680 --> 01:00:34.120 And i'll say this bit because I know other buildings have this problem. It's in bc 01:00:34.360 --> 01:00:40.360 I think it's bc law. I could be wrong. I don't know you're not allowed to smoke within a certain amount of feet of buildings 01:00:40.840 --> 01:00:47.720 Yeah, but because air quality etc our building has allowed smoking on your like balcony thing 01:00:48.280 --> 01:00:54.760 right So genuinely if we have any window open if the sliding doors open anything for any amount of time 01:00:55.400 --> 01:00:57.960 Like I mean at four in the morning 01:00:58.840 --> 01:01:00.840 It doesn't matter any time 01:01:02.360 --> 01:01:10.120 Just I don't know if it's how like Things are shaped or what but like all of it seems to flow directly into our unit. It's crazy 01:01:10.520 --> 01:01:13.720 I was I was gonna I was gonna this is I was going to the bathroom 01:01:14.040 --> 01:01:19.640 Yesterday and I yelled out to emma being like I feel like I'm literally smoking weed right now 01:01:20.360 --> 01:01:26.280 Because like there was so moat so much second hand smoke coming into our unit. So that's why you're so sleepy maybe 01:01:26.520 --> 01:01:32.120 Maybe you're just still actually maybe I'm still high. Yeah. No, I don't think so, but I was gonna do the way 01:01:33.480 --> 01:01:37.240 Then I got high I didn't mean to but then I got uh 01:01:37.800 --> 01:01:42.040 Um Yeah, I know it's it's it's terrible. So we don't want 01:01:42.760 --> 01:01:49.000 Like I even tried I built this like insulated box thing. I don't know if you've even seen it, but maybe 01:01:49.880 --> 01:01:53.640 Rock wall inside of a wooden long tall wooden vertical box 01:01:54.120 --> 01:01:57.640 That I put in the sliding glass door that you can even move the latch 01:01:58.280 --> 01:02:05.400 From the the wall to this box so you can latch the door on it and then feed through an ac tube for like a rollable ac thing 01:02:05.960 --> 01:02:09.960 It still leaks a little bit too much and you can get smoke in the house and I won't die from it 01:02:10.040 --> 01:02:14.440 I'll be fine the birds will. Yeah, so it's like ah, so we want another mini split 01:02:14.600 --> 01:02:19.480 One of the greatest things about this whole thing is one of the key people that was arguing against letting me do it 01:02:19.720 --> 01:02:24.760 Was complaining not that long ago about how hot the main area in their unit is 01:02:25.000 --> 01:02:31.560 Which is the exact area that I was trying to add an ac head to because none of the units are entire building 01:02:31.560 --> 01:02:37.640 Have any ac in that room and the only window in that room for our entire building is the sliding glass doors 01:02:37.880 --> 01:02:39.880 So there is not an easy way to do it 01:02:42.200 --> 01:02:44.840 You idiot like I can't 01:02:45.960 --> 01:02:48.760 Ah, it's so annoying. Well luke 01:02:50.200 --> 01:02:55.480 At least it's very rare for people to vote against their own self-interest 01:03:01.720 --> 01:03:05.240 At least it doesn't happen very often 01:03:09.000 --> 01:03:14.040 Okay, well my amazing art is done and this isn't going to make any sense. Let me let me explain it 01:03:14.600 --> 01:03:17.000 So, uh, this area here 01:03:18.360 --> 01:03:24.920 Is say an apartment Um, that is built like mine, and I'm probably going to get things screwed up. Sorry tradies in the chat 01:03:25.240 --> 01:03:31.320 The black outline lines are walls all of these walls including there's this like there's a room here 01:03:31.320 --> 01:03:36.680 And let's say there's a door right there all of these walls including this wall in between 01:03:37.240 --> 01:03:43.400 There's this gap this Display that I have on the on the left here. So the right hand side is lightweight concrete 01:03:43.640 --> 01:03:48.920 So the whole unit that we're on all the individual rooms have their own slab of lightweight concrete 01:03:49.320 --> 01:03:53.880 And then there's a gap which is half an inch wide two and a half inches deep 01:03:54.520 --> 01:04:00.200 Roughly very roughly the amount wide changes quite a bit as you go along 01:04:00.280 --> 01:04:03.320 but it's roughly half an inch wide and 01:04:03.640 --> 01:04:08.920 Fairly accurately two and a half inches deep on the other side of that is a piece of wood 01:04:09.400 --> 01:04:15.400 Uh, this black bar in the middle is expansion joint material and then the red thing 01:04:16.440 --> 01:04:22.200 Decently deeply down but in there is a nail because they nail the expansion joint material to the wood 01:04:22.360 --> 01:04:27.400 And then they pour the lightweight concrete the lightweight concrete goes directly against the expansion joint material 01:04:28.120 --> 01:04:35.640 And kind of fuses to it So the first task that we had was opening all the drywall so that we could access this trench 01:04:36.120 --> 01:04:42.280 and then we had to Exacto knife down each side because the cement would kind of fuse with it 01:04:42.600 --> 01:04:48.040 And the the wood side wouldn't fuse with it too much except there. You're supposed to be adhesive on that side 01:04:48.360 --> 01:04:54.680 So you'd have to cut through the adhesive on one side And then cut through the the concrete cement whatever fusing on the other side 01:04:55.400 --> 01:04:57.720 And then it would be fused to the bottom often as well 01:04:58.520 --> 01:05:04.200 But if you released both the sides you could like pry it out with this weird thing that I would do with a knife 01:05:05.320 --> 01:05:10.600 Which was strenuous and tiring but eventually we got the whole place done 01:05:11.080 --> 01:05:15.640 And then we had to put closed cell foam backer rod 01:05:16.280 --> 01:05:18.680 So high density closed cell foam 01:05:19.960 --> 01:05:24.200 And then like tubes basically sure and we had to shove those in the hole 01:05:24.440 --> 01:05:28.920 The reason why we had to do that is because the like real solution isn't acquirable by 01:05:29.640 --> 01:05:36.440 normies I hate that when you're not allowed to buy the proper thing because you 01:05:38.280 --> 01:05:41.560 Did a ton of research on this called up repair shops 01:05:42.120 --> 01:05:51.960 um, there's a place in ontario that was like Considering shipping it to us and like giving me a contractor number temporarily. Yeah, I was gonna say usually you can like when I when I was 01:05:52.280 --> 01:05:59.000 Trying to get paint for my bike You just have to find a place that there was a couple places locally that were unwilling to do it 01:05:59.240 --> 01:06:03.400 Oh, that's a bummer I think mostly because I I think they didn't have it on hand 01:06:04.040 --> 01:06:09.080 So you're gonna have to like order stuff in and they didn't want to order stuff in for me if I wasn't like a contractor, bro 01:06:09.720 --> 01:06:13.560 But um this other place I think had it on hand. So they were like 01:06:14.280 --> 01:06:19.160 We don't love this, but we can ship it to you. The problem was it wasn't going to get it to us in time 01:06:19.960 --> 01:06:25.080 So we we came with this backer rod solution. Okay, we checked it with a few people. They said it should be fine 01:06:25.560 --> 01:06:30.200 Um, it will help with the whole expansion situation, right? Um 01:06:31.640 --> 01:06:34.600 But it's it's not perfect, but it's pretty good. Yeah, we could do it in time 01:06:34.680 --> 01:06:38.360 So it sounds good, but I had to shove this backer rod which is oversized 01:06:38.600 --> 01:06:45.960 Yeah, and a circle Into this rectangular trench and I had to shove it all the way down into the trench literally round peg 01:06:46.360 --> 01:06:51.960 Square hole Yeah, and then and then I had to do another one because you wanted to pretty much fill this trench 01:06:52.040 --> 01:06:58.360 Yeah, you can't have an air gap in there Ideally no So I have to put at least two the most I ever had to do was four 01:06:58.600 --> 01:07:02.040 But almost all the time it was two like over 90 percent of the time it was two 01:07:02.120 --> 01:07:09.320 Yeah, okay And and I had to shove it in like that and I had to do the entire house and it's like very difficult to get in there 01:07:09.640 --> 01:07:13.720 Usually unless the trench gets really wide for a second and then it just plops right in right 01:07:13.800 --> 01:07:16.200 But usually it's pretty hard to get in there. So for 01:07:16.920 --> 01:07:23.160 Double digit amount of hours I was basically shoving as hard as I could like this with my hands down into the trench 01:07:23.240 --> 01:07:30.040 Right and mostly with my right one because more coordinated and stronger and I just torched the tendons of my wrist. It is 01:07:33.640 --> 01:07:35.720 Yeah, so I don't know I went to physio 01:07:37.880 --> 01:07:42.120 And he said that like the strength is still there and things are generally fine 01:07:42.840 --> 01:07:48.120 Like I can move like this right and I can move like that right and I can move like this 01:07:48.600 --> 01:07:53.640 Yep, but if I made a fist and then pulled it in it hurts a lot, right, right? 01:07:54.520 --> 01:07:59.400 So no doing that for A week a week and a half somewhere around there 01:07:59.960 --> 01:08:02.520 Okay, but you're done anyway, right? 01:08:03.480 --> 01:08:08.920 Yeah, pretty much. So the that stuff is oh, yeah, ouch, that wasn't great. Um, do 01:08:10.040 --> 01:08:14.200 podcast injury I'm trying to gesture and I just oh 01:08:16.280 --> 01:08:21.640 Doing that stuff Oh, right what I was going to say the the I didn't explain this part 01:08:21.640 --> 01:08:25.240 So the flooding that probably happened from the dishwasher, but we don't know 01:08:25.880 --> 01:08:29.240 Wasn't a crazy amount of water. So it didn't like seep into the floor 01:08:29.880 --> 01:08:35.640 Or get under the floor, but it flowed enough that it poured over into these trenches 01:08:36.200 --> 01:08:41.000 Basically around the entire place. Yeah, and rotted out all this expansion joint material 01:08:41.320 --> 01:08:46.040 So there was a little bit of mold, but it was mostly just a ton of rotten material a wrist brace might be helpful 01:08:46.440 --> 01:08:50.440 Uh, yeah, I got one. Um physio guy said to not wear it all the time 01:08:51.320 --> 01:08:55.640 Because I'm supposed to actually use it. I'm supposed to move it right like I was doing this earlier in the show 01:08:55.880 --> 01:09:00.120 I'm supposed to do this right where I I was wondering what you were doing. Yeah, yeah 01:09:00.280 --> 01:09:05.560 So I'm doing the little exercises. Oh, that's weird. I'm a good boy with the physio exercise. I actually do them 01:09:06.200 --> 01:09:11.080 That's good. Yeah So I have other ones that I'm supposed to do as well. So I'll I'll make sure I'm keeping on top of those 01:09:11.480 --> 01:09:16.600 Uh, but yeah, the expansion joint material was rotten. Um, and that was bad for a few reasons 01:09:16.680 --> 01:09:20.520 One of them was because it was promoting mold growth. Yeah, so it looked black 01:09:21.160 --> 01:09:25.000 It was not black mold. We got it tested. There was no black mold. Oh 01:09:25.640 --> 01:09:32.520 That's really like white mold and some other stuff. Okay. It wasn't good, but it wasn't like, oh god evacuate the house immediately bad 01:09:32.840 --> 01:09:38.760 Okay, um So but we didn't want it to get there. So get the rotten material out get new stuff in 01:09:39.000 --> 01:09:41.880 Do you have an eta for when your place is livable again? 01:09:42.760 --> 01:09:46.600 Livable to the point where I don't have to sleep at my parents is hopefully monday. Really? Yeah 01:09:46.680 --> 01:09:53.080 So so the the progress is since then drywall is back up. Yeah, so the the the holes were 01:09:53.960 --> 01:09:57.400 Bad material taken out good material putting in putting in put in 01:09:57.800 --> 01:10:02.440 Um, and then the drywall was put back to like seal it and then we have someone helping with the 01:10:03.160 --> 01:10:08.200 Finishing so mudding and sanding and all that kind of stuff and that is like almost done 01:10:08.280 --> 01:10:13.800 He thinks he'll be done by saturday And then we're hoping to paint two rooms 01:10:14.600 --> 01:10:19.000 The two rooms that would have carpet in it. Mm-hmm and then carpet people are coming in monday nice 01:10:19.240 --> 01:10:22.680 And then we'd be able to like put the bed back nice and 01:10:23.320 --> 01:10:26.280 I could set up a desk nice some basic stuff like that 01:10:26.840 --> 01:10:34.200 And that would be like a enormous improvement I noticed today on steam because a buddy sent me a steam key for a game that he was working on 01:10:34.600 --> 01:10:38.680 I haven't launched a game on steam since the 18th of last month. Yeah 01:10:39.320 --> 01:10:46.040 Which is like a month. I was I was telling Emma. I think this is the longest I've gone without using a desktop of my own 01:10:46.840 --> 01:10:48.840 Since I was probably like eight 01:10:50.360 --> 01:10:52.360 That actually makes sense 01:10:53.480 --> 01:11:00.920 It's been like a month and a half Like the last thing I launched on steam wasn't even on my desktop. I was on a trip and I think I launched like slay this wire or something 01:11:01.960 --> 01:11:04.360 Like it's been a long time 01:11:05.480 --> 01:11:09.960 Adulting. Yeah Wow, all right. Yeah, um 01:11:11.720 --> 01:11:15.480 So yeah, I miss this. Are you just helping but your land? No, I own the place 01:11:16.120 --> 01:11:20.840 um Which is like cool and also totally sucks 01:11:21.720 --> 01:11:24.920 Yeah, it's a funny assumption that like 01:11:25.640 --> 01:11:29.720 Luke is poor He's just cheap 01:11:30.200 --> 01:11:32.920 It is a really really big difference 01:11:34.120 --> 01:11:36.920 I think other people have problems with spending money. I don't think I'm cheap 01:11:39.080 --> 01:11:43.480 Okay I 01:11:46.760 --> 01:11:53.240 Because it be Luke identifies as poor. No, I don't know. He doesn't I really don't he really doesn't I don't 01:11:55.160 --> 01:11:57.960 I don't actually understand where this comes from 01:11:59.080 --> 01:12:03.960 But there is a not insignificant amount of the LTT community that like 01:12:05.160 --> 01:12:11.000 Things Luke is poor. Yeah frugal. Yeah, I prefer frugal some people in the there was a there was a 01:12:11.560 --> 01:12:15.560 LMG clip on this recently and a bunch of people in the comments are saying it's it's frugal 01:12:15.800 --> 01:12:21.080 No, he's not a miser either because Luke spends money on other people 01:12:21.560 --> 01:12:26.040 He just doesn't he doesn't spend money on the kinds of things that 01:12:26.840 --> 01:12:33.480 it feels like Our society encourages us to spend money on I don't 01:12:34.520 --> 01:12:39.560 care About a lot of those things. No, I I I get it 01:12:40.360 --> 01:12:44.680 I I totally get it. I just uh It it just 01:12:44.680 --> 01:12:50.280 Yeah, yeah Yeah, and like so many chats says luke is just smart with his money. I don't even want to take that necessarily 01:12:50.600 --> 01:12:56.680 Yeah, I don't actually think that that's quite the case either because if luke was smart with his money, there's a lot of 01:12:57.880 --> 01:12:59.880 Okay, how do I say this? 01:13:02.680 --> 01:13:10.600 There's I know how much money luke makes and I know how much he spends 01:13:12.440 --> 01:13:19.400 And because we're also friends in addition to me being his employer and so therefore knowing how much money he makes 01:13:20.120 --> 01:13:30.200 I know How little work his capital is doing for him. Yeah. Yeah, there are some reasons. I I I know I know and that's and that's totally valid 01:13:30.840 --> 01:13:34.040 um however 01:13:34.280 --> 01:13:36.760 I I the hmm. I 01:13:38.200 --> 01:13:42.360 Okay, and the thing is In some ways, I'm just as bad as him 01:13:43.160 --> 01:13:46.760 Like both of us I would argue worse because you don't have the same limitations 01:13:47.400 --> 01:13:54.440 Both of us have Completely missed out on like this recent stock market bull run. Oh, yeah, for instance. Oh, yeah 01:13:54.440 --> 01:13:59.960 I just want to disclaim all of this, you know, not this none of this is financial advice. This is not financial advice 01:14:00.520 --> 01:14:05.320 um So, you know, right, but there's been like an incredible 01:14:05.720 --> 01:14:11.560 You know stock bull market for for an extended period of time here and there's been some fairly 01:14:12.280 --> 01:14:19.480 obvious plays um, but you know because of our position as tech influencers and because of 01:14:20.520 --> 01:14:25.320 I don't want to be invested in an NVIDIA. I think we I think that would be bad 01:14:25.480 --> 01:14:31.400 I think we both also tend to have a bit of a bit of a one in the hand versus 01:14:32.120 --> 01:14:37.160 Two in the bush sort of mentality. I think that's part of it. I think that 01:14:38.200 --> 01:14:40.200 part of it is is is just 01:14:41.320 --> 01:14:44.760 I think part of it is growing up poor um 01:14:44.760 --> 01:14:47.320 Like growing up without money and yeah 01:14:48.360 --> 01:14:52.840 Yeah, and I think people I tell that story that was a 01:14:53.240 --> 01:14:58.200 relatively short period of my upbringing. We were fine most of the time but like 01:14:58.840 --> 01:15:01.640 That bit was at a formative time 01:15:02.440 --> 01:15:05.640 And made me think about money in a certain way like I mean I 01:15:06.440 --> 01:15:09.960 Not long after that time. I blew everything I had on a computer like 01:15:10.920 --> 01:15:14.440 And and we were both let's be real both young dudes 01:15:15.400 --> 01:15:20.040 You know and and definitely wasted money on things. Oh, yeah, let's let's be very clear 01:15:20.440 --> 01:15:23.160 But I think that in general like we both 01:15:24.440 --> 01:15:28.840 experienced times When there was real scarcity 01:15:29.560 --> 01:15:33.640 Yeah, I guess that would be the best way to to kind of describe it because 01:15:34.280 --> 01:15:41.400 like I was never on the verge of complete homelessness or anything like that, but there were definitely 01:15:42.360 --> 01:15:49.240 There were times of there were tighter times. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And so recognizing the very real possibility that 01:15:50.120 --> 01:15:54.600 Like money could be gone and and there would not be any more coming 01:15:55.400 --> 01:15:59.240 I think put both of us in a position where what you have in the bank 01:15:59.880 --> 01:16:04.760 um Seems a lot more important than what you could get out there 01:16:05.240 --> 01:16:10.040 If you if you like deployed it if you took it out of the bank and with inflation going the way that it is 01:16:10.440 --> 01:16:16.040 Like the money that we've had sitting in the bank has been rotted. Yeah, like 01:16:16.920 --> 01:16:23.560 to a degree that makes me Genuinely pretty uncomfortable to think about like how much of it has just 01:16:25.000 --> 01:16:30.520 Rotted. Yeah, um Like man, it's it's I I still 01:16:31.240 --> 01:16:35.240 Like I I went through a period for a bit. Sorry. I just want to address this really quickly 01:16:35.480 --> 01:16:41.480 McBain said regarding investing in invidia better me have the money than somebody else. Yeah, but like I 01:16:42.040 --> 01:16:48.200 Do stuff with the lab. Yeah, it's just not I don't want to be invested NVIDIA. Yeah, it just 01:16:49.080 --> 01:16:53.080 I don't want that uh Not that I don't think I could handle 01:16:54.040 --> 01:16:59.240 That like potential conflicting interest thing. I don't think that would be a problem for me at all to be completely honest, but 01:17:00.360 --> 01:17:07.640 I just don't even want anyone thinking it I'm just not going to mess around with that. Apparently, this is the whole thing the psychology of scarcity 01:17:08.280 --> 01:17:13.000 Uh explores how deprivation wreaks havoc on cognition and decision making 01:17:13.640 --> 01:17:19.640 Being poor requires so much mental energy that those with limited means be they sugarcane farmers in india or new jersey mall goers 01:17:19.880 --> 01:17:26.360 Are more likely to make mistakes and bad decisions than those with bigger financial cushions that actually makes a ton of sense 01:17:26.920 --> 01:17:28.920 I think there's also like 01:17:31.560 --> 01:17:35.320 I don't know there's comfort levels. I don't necessarily think that being a risk averse is a bad decision 01:17:35.320 --> 01:17:42.840 I don't think that maximizing The potential value play over under on every dollar that you have is necessary 01:17:43.880 --> 01:17:47.800 No, no, I don't I don't think it's necessary and the comfort and like no 01:17:47.800 --> 01:17:52.360 I should be doing more with my stuff for sure. There's certain limitations. Whatever. We don't need to get into that. Um, 01:17:53.000 --> 01:17:55.000 they're too but, uh 01:17:57.720 --> 01:18:00.440 Assuming I did do some of it. I still wouldn't do a ton 01:18:01.000 --> 01:18:03.720 Yeah, because the comfort of just I'm good 01:18:04.360 --> 01:18:10.920 Is like really nice and I I see value in that and I don't only see value in dollar numbers, which I 01:18:13.480 --> 01:18:17.560 Some people do and I don't see it that way I see like 01:18:17.560 --> 01:18:23.080 Comfort lack of concern Not needing to check the stock market twice a day every day all the time 01:18:23.640 --> 01:18:26.680 Those types of things is like it's kind of nice like I remember 01:18:27.000 --> 01:18:35.480 I knew some people that made a lot of money off of crypto I had some crypto for a bit hanging out with those people. It's it was all that I 01:18:36.600 --> 01:18:40.360 When it was going up It was all I could think about and when it was going down 01:18:40.520 --> 01:18:45.160 It was like super all I could think about and I wasn't even in super heavy or anything 01:18:45.160 --> 01:18:52.920 We were just talking we were just this perfect actually We were just talking about playing games when you're younger and how you can like actually just think about the game 01:18:53.240 --> 01:19:02.840 Yeah, like No, not anymore. No, not if you're leveraged into something not if your livelihood and you're like eating next month relies on some some 01:19:03.480 --> 01:19:12.360 relies on a game you're playing. Yeah relies on like somebody associated to the company that you're invested in not saying something crazy. Yeah, or 01:19:13.240 --> 01:19:20.120 Doing whatever or saying something crazy and it mooning. Anyway, whatever, right? Yeah, because I got to say man 01:19:20.200 --> 01:19:22.920 this the stock market feels more just 01:19:23.640 --> 01:19:29.240 Meme stocks and gambling than ever and that's something that we've talked about extensively on the show how it just 01:19:29.800 --> 01:19:34.280 feels like gambling right now um 01:19:34.360 --> 01:19:39.320 Asian says that gold xbox controller though, okay, that was that that was a calculated risk probably made money 01:19:39.400 --> 01:19:44.920 It was an amount that I was very comfortable, you know depreciating a little bit 01:19:45.640 --> 01:19:49.240 and Oh, yes, it's definitely made money. Yeah 01:19:50.120 --> 01:19:53.480 Gold what would you look up gold index or what? Gold price.org 01:19:54.520 --> 01:19:56.520 Is the is the best one that I've found 01:19:59.480 --> 01:20:08.440 Oh, yeah, I guess we could do that These are one days. Let's look at how long do you think it's been five years? Uh, when did yeah, when did we uh make the 01:20:10.280 --> 01:20:15.080 Oh, that's silver. Uh, hold on five years 01:20:17.720 --> 01:20:20.440 Hold on when did we make the gold controller four years ago? 01:20:20.760 --> 01:20:25.560 Yeah, so five years is the closest I can get because it's it's one and then five or one two five 01:20:25.720 --> 01:20:27.720 Yeah, I think the gold controller did okay 01:20:29.400 --> 01:20:33.080 Uh It's like over doubled in value. Yeah, I think the gold well 01:20:33.640 --> 01:20:43.160 We spent like 20 grand on the like Craftsmanship of it or something like that 15 something it was it was like many many many many labor hours 01:20:43.160 --> 01:20:49.800 How much was the value of just the gold? Uh, I don't disclose. I don't remember. I think it's in the video, but I don't remember the exact 01:20:49.800 --> 01:20:55.880 I don't remember how many ounces sure went into it. Yeah, um, that was like kind of a minor detail 01:20:56.680 --> 01:20:58.680 in my mind, um 01:21:00.280 --> 01:21:05.160 You know what they ended up uh Certain people in chat are like sigh. This is why you have a financial advisor company 01:21:05.400 --> 01:21:10.200 Yeah, and a lot of them would say just invest everything in big seven and I would not want to do that 01:21:10.200 --> 01:21:16.360 Oh, dude, I would be like I that's it's not it's it's not a automatic solve all I'd be terrified 01:21:16.440 --> 01:21:21.880 Yeah, I'd be terrified to throw everything into magnificent seven right now and this is not financial advice 01:21:22.520 --> 01:21:27.640 Are that is a thing this is not financial advice. Here we hear assumptions. I'm literally not 01:21:28.600 --> 01:21:33.240 I know people that have done this because of financial advisors. I'm actually not making an assumption 01:21:33.320 --> 01:21:38.040 I was actually chatting with CEO, uh, mr. Tarantong the other day 01:21:38.600 --> 01:21:46.040 And um, we were I was sending him this article uh research by mark zandy the chief economist of moody's analytics 01:21:46.040 --> 01:21:52.200 Showed earlier in this year and again recently that the top 10 percent of earners in the u.s 01:21:52.840 --> 01:21:57.720 Are responsible for just under 50 percent of all consumer spending 01:21:59.400 --> 01:22:07.880 Like I've been trying to wrap my brain around this for a little while how LTT Store sales 01:22:10.680 --> 01:22:13.800 Chat's driving me insane today. No, they do the investing 01:22:14.440 --> 01:22:18.280 That doesn't change anything if that's what they're just gonna do that doesn't change anything 01:22:18.440 --> 01:22:24.520 There's also a problem right now where you invest you might be investing in companies that are cyclically invested in the big seven 01:22:24.760 --> 01:22:27.960 So it's like it doesn't even really matter like it's 01:22:29.320 --> 01:22:32.760 There are absolutely ways to do it properly it well 01:22:33.400 --> 01:22:40.120 properly And there are ways that I would be more down with and there are advisors that will think more the way that I would like to think 01:22:40.120 --> 01:22:44.840 And you can also Explain to them that you want to approach it a certain way and they might do it in that way in that school 01:22:45.080 --> 01:22:49.560 And there's also fees that come along with that and that might be bad and who knows and whatever and it doesn't matter go 01:22:49.560 --> 01:22:56.440 away Ninja man away not the right people to talk to about this. It's weird to see Linus be the calm one and luke getting angry at the chat 01:22:57.000 --> 01:23:01.720 I told you he's grumpy today Having he gets a rest guy 01:23:03.160 --> 01:23:08.200 He's good So what I was gonna so right I've been trying to wrap my brain around like how 01:23:09.000 --> 01:23:11.960 Things are pretty pretty tough right now 01:23:12.440 --> 01:23:16.840 In general like you've got you know dollar giant mooning because 01:23:16.840 --> 01:23:19.960 Way more people are shopping at the dollar store, which by the way 01:23:20.360 --> 01:23:28.760 There is nothing wrong with shopping at the dollar store One of my kids made an offhand comment about like shopping at the dollar store or something like that or 01:23:29.240 --> 01:23:32.040 Where were we? No, we weren't at the dollar store. We were 01:23:32.840 --> 01:23:36.120 Yeah, no, we weren't at the dollar store, but we were somewhere 01:23:36.760 --> 01:23:41.880 We were at walmart. That's right. We were at walmart because um, I I promised her like a dad 01:23:41.960 --> 01:23:47.480 daughter day and um, she she could pick any activity she wanted and she wanted to make slime 01:23:47.880 --> 01:23:53.720 So, uh, walmart is the place that I know that I can get boxes of borax because superstore doesn't carry it 01:23:53.720 --> 01:23:57.240 Or they didn't the last time I checked and I didn't feel like going to a dozen different places. So 01:23:57.800 --> 01:24:00.680 Uh, we went to walmart. So we picked up some borax some white glue 01:24:01.320 --> 01:24:05.640 Um, and we didn't need food coloring. We already had that the point is you don't care about the ingredients to slime 01:24:05.640 --> 01:24:08.760 You care about the story maybe or you don't I don't know you're watching wind show 01:24:08.760 --> 01:24:13.880 So who knows? uh, the point is that uh, we were there and she wanted to get something 01:24:13.960 --> 01:24:17.560 I forget what it was, but it was something that I basically was like no 01:24:17.560 --> 01:24:20.520 We'd be better off getting that at the dollar store and she goes well, wouldn't it be a worse one? 01:24:20.760 --> 01:24:28.280 And I go whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on No, the place that you buy something does not indicate the quality of it 01:24:28.920 --> 01:24:36.440 You can buy Campbell's soup at the dollar store Or you can buy Campbell's soup at some bougie supermarket and they are the exact same thing 01:24:37.240 --> 01:24:43.240 As long as oh, okay Campbell's soup is canned So I wouldn't even worry about the expiry date like sometimes you can get food stuff 01:24:43.240 --> 01:24:46.920 That are closer to the expiry date at the dollar store. So you do kind of have to watch for that 01:24:47.240 --> 01:24:55.480 But if it is the same product Then no, you just get it wherever you get the best deal. There is no there's no better status 01:24:56.200 --> 01:25:01.880 In buying something at a fancier store and paying more for it. It's just not something that I'm ever 01:25:02.440 --> 01:25:04.440 Going to believe in 01:25:06.920 --> 01:25:11.800 How did I get on this topic again? Can't remember 01:25:13.720 --> 01:25:17.000 No not was before that chat might remember 01:25:19.560 --> 01:25:25.640 Yes, uh top 10 percent earners spend 15 percent of 50 percent of consumers right, right, right, right 01:25:25.640 --> 01:25:31.560 So I was talking about dollar giant So dollar giant is like doing great because more and more people are resorting to shopping at the dollar store 01:25:31.800 --> 01:25:36.200 Which I just wanted to make clear is not a problem Shopping at the dollar store is totally fine 01:25:36.920 --> 01:25:40.280 But for a lot of people where they shop is part of their 01:25:41.320 --> 01:25:47.320 Self-worth equation, I suppose and so they're you know, they only shop at the dollar store during hard times apparently. I'm like, okay 01:25:47.320 --> 01:25:51.160 Sure, whatever. Um, I will never be too cool to shop at the dollar store 01:25:51.160 --> 01:25:53.880 I give you my personal Linus tech tips and guarantee of that 01:25:54.360 --> 01:25:57.160 Um, and so I've been trying to figure out okay 01:25:57.640 --> 01:26:03.000 So with things being tough and they're being all of these indicators 01:26:03.800 --> 01:26:09.640 Right that things are tough. I've been trying to figure out why like LTT Store sales are not falling 01:26:10.520 --> 01:26:13.240 Like why LTT Store is still doing fine 01:26:14.360 --> 01:26:17.320 And so I saw this and I was like 01:26:18.280 --> 01:26:21.880 Holy crap I had no idea 01:26:21.880 --> 01:26:29.160 How one sided it was I didn't realize consumer spending would track that way. Oh like like like that much though 01:26:30.280 --> 01:26:32.920 That's that's wild. Anyway, so he countered with 01:26:33.640 --> 01:26:37.320 S&P 500 is basically S&P 10 01:26:38.040 --> 01:26:45.320 Because the top 10 companies are about 40 of the value and have been responsible for 70 of the index growth 01:26:45.960 --> 01:26:51.400 So when you so I had a I had a I had kind of a an annoying conversation 01:26:51.880 --> 01:26:55.240 Well, I shouldn't say annoying conversation with Yvonne because she was just the messenger 01:26:55.560 --> 01:26:59.720 but I was annoyed about a conversation I was having with Yvonne because 01:27:00.360 --> 01:27:04.440 She was talking about some investment service or something 01:27:05.000 --> 01:27:12.200 And uh, she basically goes. Yeah, so like they just recommend like this s&p thing and I go, okay 01:27:12.680 --> 01:27:19.000 That's fine. Um, but there are a handful of companies in the s&p that I think are just 01:27:20.120 --> 01:27:26.920 ludicrously like Overvalued bubble the fundamentals of this company make absolutely 01:27:27.480 --> 01:27:32.520 No sense one of the ones that I'll that I'll name is tesla. I think tesla's valuation is 01:27:33.080 --> 01:27:36.600 Just bat sh** crazy right now um 01:27:36.600 --> 01:27:44.280 They are really struggling to sell cars that is only going to get worse as the us subsidies go away as the chinese market 01:27:44.680 --> 01:27:49.720 Just effective like dumping from domestic chinese companies continues 01:27:50.520 --> 01:27:53.400 And as they continue to struggle to compete in europe like it is 01:27:54.200 --> 01:27:57.160 It is not looking good for tesla's car business and 01:27:57.880 --> 01:28:03.800 Sure fine tesla's an AI company or something and they make humanoid robots, but like 01:28:05.880 --> 01:28:10.760 Sorry, what is optimist's? Compete level like right now 01:28:10.840 --> 01:28:14.120 Bad and what is the indication that that will get better? 01:28:15.000 --> 01:28:18.280 Nothing not much. Yeah, uh, okay, sure 01:28:19.000 --> 01:28:26.200 And then the whole AI thing Right so tesla is a super duper de duper AI company, but also 01:28:28.200 --> 01:28:32.760 You know when they're supposed to get g e sorry g e's when they're supposed to get GPU's 01:28:33.080 --> 01:28:37.000 They just get sort of unilaterally redirected to other companies like 01:28:37.560 --> 01:28:41.000 You know xai that are also, you know predominantly owned by 01:28:41.800 --> 01:28:47.240 overlapping ownership groups The the whole thing is just a complete smoke and mirror show 01:28:47.640 --> 01:28:53.240 And so I wanted absolutely no exposure to it and they basically the response is just like well, we don't do that 01:28:53.880 --> 01:28:57.880 And I go okay. Well, then I don't Do whatever your thing is 01:28:57.880 --> 01:29:05.240 um Because I don't want any exposure to that and that was even before I realized just how bad it is 01:29:07.160 --> 01:29:11.800 The top 10 companies 40 percent of the value 70 percent of the growth 01:29:11.800 --> 01:29:16.440 So this like bull run that's taken place over the last little while here 01:29:17.240 --> 01:29:21.240 Has been driven by Predominantly the the AI 01:29:21.240 --> 01:29:26.040 And they're and they're cyclical investing as well to be clear. I did not just call it the AI 01:29:26.280 --> 01:29:31.720 I was going to say the AI bubble, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to use the b-word. Sure, but there's the like you know 01:29:31.720 --> 01:29:38.280 Seems like a bubble X amount of money goes from open ai to oracle x amount of money goes from oracles NVIDIA 01:29:38.760 --> 01:29:44.600 X amount of money goes from invidia to open ai dude big circle thing. This is also not the first time we've seen this happen 01:29:45.160 --> 01:29:51.320 um I saw the funniest broke it back on uh here. This is this is amazing Dan 01:29:51.400 --> 01:29:56.440 I'm sending this to you to bring up on the show Dude, you're gonna you're gonna freaking love this 01:29:57.240 --> 01:30:04.440 Where is Dan the There's also the like the the I think fairly old school like I'm gonna get the numbers wrong 01:30:04.440 --> 01:30:11.160 But I think it's like 20 per sector maximum 5 per company maximum if it goes above any of that sell it off 01:30:12.360 --> 01:30:14.760 Until it gets down to that number blah blah blah blah blah 01:30:15.400 --> 01:30:17.960 Thing and that's all cool, but there's 01:30:18.680 --> 01:30:25.880 Unless you're watching it decently close I think there's issues with that because of like what I was mentioning earlier where all these companies are kind of tied into each other 01:30:26.440 --> 01:30:30.200 In a variety of different ways. Uh, no, I want you to throw it up on screen 01:30:31.880 --> 01:30:35.960 Yeah, just get get me that photo carousel because luke you're gonna love this 01:30:36.440 --> 01:30:41.080 This is a meme that I caught over on wall street bets earlier today 01:30:41.640 --> 01:30:46.200 This card game would be lit Um Dan you ready? 01:30:49.000 --> 01:30:52.760 Uh, that's fine.

I 01:39:58.440 --> 01:40:03.240 Think these must be your size because they certainly aren't mine. They looked pretty big 01:40:03.640 --> 01:40:07.160 Okay, are they too big for you too? I don't know. I don't even know what size there, but they look pretty big 01:40:07.160 --> 01:40:11.480 You know what? I'm not going to make you disclose your underwear size on on stream. So 01:40:13.800 --> 01:40:22.440 That is that is me. Okay Sure, I was like man, I would be I would be swimming in these these look huge though.

Yeah, it's it's possible. Well, it shouldn't be that much 01:40:34.440 --> 01:40:36.680 It's only a little bit of cotton. Maybe it's just 01:40:37.560 --> 01:40:44.040 Maybe they looked really big in my hands Maybe I don't know. No, I just held it up. He's used to that though 01:40:46.760 --> 01:40:49.720 It's very ego boosting. Anyway, we use the uh, we 01:40:50.600 --> 01:40:53.960 Use the same patterns as last time. So it shouldn't it shouldn't be it's okay 01:40:54.760 --> 01:41:02.920 Anyway, check them out LMG.gg Slash undies my notes say probably a good idea to click this and check out the photos.

I've got a few here. Hey DLL. Love the show question for Linus. Yes, how are the LTT cables coming along? 01:44:00.600 --> 01:44:09.400 I can't wait to get them. Oh really good. I'm so excited. I ran into yet another situation yesterday where I just 01:44:10.600 --> 01:44:18.920 I was troubleshooting something and maybe this affects me disproportionately and maybe for a lot of you you don't have the same kind of 01:44:19.720 --> 01:44:22.280 um emotional fatigue with 01:44:23.000 --> 01:44:25.560 Stuff not working when you're troubleshooting 01:44:26.040 --> 01:44:30.600 But we were having an issue with uh, we were doing an AMD ultimate tech upgrade for john from the lab 01:44:30.680 --> 01:44:38.600 Actually, I was I was at his place yesterday and a big part of his setup is his uh, his driving sim rig 01:44:39.080 --> 01:44:46.520 and so Like his upgrade Basically, he sank like over half of it into a big screen beyond two 01:44:47.000 --> 01:44:52.600 Nice Yeah Because he didn't have he didn't have base stations yet. He didn't have knuckles controllers yet 01:44:52.840 --> 01:44:56.760 Okay, so he got a big screen beyond two and based three base stations 01:44:57.400 --> 01:45:04.920 And knuckles controllers and then he also got a new GPU for his like media pc because that's where his vr setup is 01:45:05.320 --> 01:45:11.560 So he like basically blew the budget on his probably like the lowest amount of packages 01:45:12.280 --> 01:45:16.120 Oh, dude, there was like nothing because the rest of it was a 77 inch OLED 01:45:17.080 --> 01:45:23.480 Also for the vr space. Yeah, so it's like the before and afters like wild because it's he he was running 01:45:23.560 --> 01:45:26.600 He was rocking an oculus cv1 still 01:45:27.320 --> 01:45:34.120 Yeah That's a enormous upgrade and an insignia like 42 inch tv 01:45:34.520 --> 01:45:38.680 Okay, wow, so he like that's awesome completely zero to hero 01:45:38.760 --> 01:45:43.400 It's it was it's like if someone upgraded from a chevy volt to like a take-hand 01:45:43.960 --> 01:45:48.280 Like it's crazy like not even that it would have been like if I went straight from the civic to the take-hand 01:45:48.280 --> 01:45:50.840 I was gonna say I think it's more. Yeah, it's it's crazy 01:45:51.320 --> 01:45:57.320 Anyway, so as we were getting toward the end of the shoot and everyone's blood sugar was low and people had places to be 01:45:57.800 --> 01:46:04.280 We were running into an issue with the usb connection that goes over to his his sim chair 01:46:04.600 --> 01:46:09.000 That connects to his pedals his shifter. He got a new a wheelbase 01:46:09.880 --> 01:46:14.040 Like a direct drive wheelbase. Sorry. That is the one last thing that I missed and 01:46:15.160 --> 01:46:19.640 Like the wheelbase wasn't getting picked up and we're like, okay 01:46:19.720 --> 01:46:23.960 Is it the new wheelbase? Is it the cable between the wheelbase and the hub? 01:46:24.600 --> 01:46:28.200 Is it the hub? Is it the port on the computer? 01:46:29.160 --> 01:46:36.520 And when you're troubleshooting something like that Oh, is it the cable going from the hub to the computer when you're troubleshooting a multi element? 01:46:37.240 --> 01:46:44.280 Um system where any one link in this chain can be bad and you have no way of knowing which one it is 01:46:45.320 --> 01:46:49.960 man Does it ever feel good to go into your backpack? 01:46:50.840 --> 01:46:55.000 Take out this cable, which I'm using to charge my laptop right now actually 01:46:55.640 --> 01:47:00.200 And know for sure that it is not that cable 01:47:01.000 --> 01:47:06.120 That means a lot to me, which is why we are developing LTT cables 01:47:07.400 --> 01:47:09.800 They are not going to be the cheapest cables 01:47:10.520 --> 01:47:15.560 But what they will be no is clearly labeled. So the ends just say 01:47:16.520 --> 01:47:23.560 LTT logo on one side And then on the other side, how many gigabits per second and how many watts? 01:47:24.520 --> 01:47:28.680 That's it feed that exactly that's all I care about 01:47:29.160 --> 01:47:36.600 And they're thick. They're not light. They're not the most like they're not the world's most flexible cables 01:47:36.600 --> 01:47:41.640 They're not the world's lightest cables by any stretch of the imagination. They're like they're thick chunky boys 01:47:42.120 --> 01:47:47.320 Um, but that is because instead of using twisted pairs for our high speed data lines 01:47:47.720 --> 01:47:50.920 We are using coax. They're using coax on all links 01:47:51.800 --> 01:47:53.960 Uh, I believe so okay 01:47:54.840 --> 01:47:59.160 Because we're using the same cable stock Across I thought there was a difference for the shorter ones 01:48:00.840 --> 01:48:04.680 I'm very likely two ones. Maybe okay. You might be thinking of that 01:48:04.760 --> 01:48:10.680 There's like no way I know more about this in use because the usb two ones. I believe are a little bit skinnier. Okay. Um, sure 01:48:10.920 --> 01:48:15.240 I don't know. So anyway, so we're using coax with each high speed data 01:48:15.800 --> 01:48:23.400 Uh wire individually Shielded individually insulated crazy. Um, so I am 01:48:23.880 --> 01:48:31.880 Um, so Freaking excited. Um, they are still pretty flexible because we use like a silicone 01:48:32.440 --> 01:48:39.480 Style sheathing on them. So they they're like they're more they're more flexible than they should be being that thick compared to a lot of other stuff 01:48:39.960 --> 01:48:47.320 Uh, but I feel nice the silicone sheathing is really nice. I um, I've been using one every day because in my, uh, 01:48:47.400 --> 01:48:51.000 Enforced homelessness because my employer doesn't pay me at all. Um, I 01:48:53.800 --> 01:48:57.080 I've been living out of a out of a backpack basically for a while 01:48:57.320 --> 01:49:03.320 And deploying my laptop like everywhere I go whenever I need to do work or or whatever else and I have an external 01:49:03.800 --> 01:49:09.640 um Monitor an external usb monitor and it needs a decent cable 01:49:09.640 --> 01:49:14.680 I don't know what the exact requirements are probably Thunderbolt 3 or something. Um, but to be clear 01:49:14.680 --> 01:49:19.000 They do not have the like active chipsets for Thunderbolt in them. I just want to make that clear 01:49:19.400 --> 01:49:22.760 But it needs a decent cable. Yeah, I'm sure there's a variety of ways it could find a way 01:49:22.760 --> 01:49:29.960 Because I think usb 4 doesn't look for the Thunderbolt chip for the handshake something something the whole standard has gotten extremely messy 01:49:30.600 --> 01:49:36.600 I just want to make it clear. There is no Thunderbolt chip in it. Sure fair enough. Um, but I I 01:49:38.200 --> 01:49:42.920 Basically none of the cables that I have worked with it Yeah, it doesn't I had one other previous cable that worked 01:49:43.080 --> 01:49:46.280 But it just gets mixed in with all the other ones because it's just plain black and there's no 01:49:46.840 --> 01:49:50.360 There isn't even a branding symbol on it. There's not it's just a plain black usb cable 01:49:50.440 --> 01:49:54.040 Yep, so at a certain point it just got mixed in. I don't know which one it is 01:49:54.440 --> 01:50:02.600 Um, but this one always works for it So I have one of the LTT cables in my kit and it's always the like I need a good cable for something 01:50:03.240 --> 01:50:05.640 It's just like, okay, sweet. It'll work 01:50:06.600 --> 01:50:10.200 Cool. Yeah, so, uh, when are they coming? Uh, 01:50:10.920 --> 01:50:16.680 Well, maybe uh, why don't um, Dan, why don't you read another merge message and maybe luke can 01:50:17.400 --> 01:50:23.480 Focus on that merge message while I check the product roadmap and see if um, see if I know when they're coming 01:50:28.360 --> 01:50:34.360 What is that Timing uh, it's my credit card 01:50:36.280 --> 01:50:40.760 Yes That of what? 01:50:44.440 --> 01:50:46.440 Yeah 01:50:50.520 --> 01:50:56.920 Uh Categories have been a little odd in the past. I sat down with um, 01:50:57.720 --> 01:51:01.480 Sarah, Dave and muted what I was muted 01:51:01.880 --> 01:51:06.440 Um, luke, what advice do you have for dads? You don't have kids, but you've spoken fondly of your own dad 01:51:07.400 --> 01:51:15.560 And then there was something about the categories on the site Oh, yeah, um, I I sat down with Sarah, Dave and taran actually earlier this week 01:51:15.960 --> 01:51:21.560 And we looked at the wireframe for the redesigned LTT Store site. It's not coming tomorrow 01:51:21.880 --> 01:51:26.200 It's not coming next week. It's not even coming next month, but it is coming 01:51:28.120 --> 01:51:32.360 Cool, uh I 01:51:32.760 --> 01:51:40.200 Don't know be present. I guess like uh, I'm I'm I have a lot of fond memories of of my dad. Um 01:51:41.720 --> 01:51:45.800 I like one that I think we both share is there was there was one time he came home from work 01:51:45.880 --> 01:51:50.040 at like I think it was like one or two in the morning or something and uh, we played 01:51:50.600 --> 01:51:58.840 We were playing super mario bros because we're both night owls And then we went and sat out on his car and watched the sunrise like 01:52:00.120 --> 01:52:04.600 Way after that and it was just like awesome like even when life was tough for him 01:52:04.680 --> 01:52:10.280 He was around and life what when life wasn't particularly tough for him. He was around just like 01:52:11.320 --> 01:52:16.680 Even more he was a coach on like every sports team I had, uh, which was awesome. Um 01:52:17.960 --> 01:52:21.080 That's another important thing. He was a coach on every sports team I had and 01:52:21.800 --> 01:52:28.280 Certain other kids on the team would be concerned about the favoritism of that for about five minutes into the first practice and then never again 01:52:28.840 --> 01:52:32.120 um because he he 01:52:32.600 --> 01:52:36.120 Treated me either equally or maybe on the first day or so 01:52:36.520 --> 01:52:41.080 A little bit harsher than the other people just kind of proved that he would be treating me equally 01:52:41.080 --> 01:52:45.800 Which was like super appreciated by me, but I don't know if we ever really talked about it. Um 01:52:47.000 --> 01:52:50.520 And just being a really good example in general I think 01:52:52.280 --> 01:52:55.560 From my limited experience with my my niece 01:52:56.120 --> 01:53:02.360 Um And being around certain other people's kids and whatnot. They're much more observant. Um 01:53:03.240 --> 01:53:07.560 Way more than you might give them credit for so you don't necessarily need to like tell them all the things 01:53:08.200 --> 01:53:13.000 Um being the example showing not telling can can often be good 01:53:13.320 --> 01:53:18.680 I think a lot of the the best lessons that I took from my my dad were things that I saw him do 01:53:19.000 --> 01:53:24.200 Not things that he necessarily he's he said a lot of great things to me too, but like I remember one time 01:53:25.160 --> 01:53:32.040 I I didn't really click this in my head for so long but years later my dad my dad and I were having like a 01:53:33.320 --> 01:53:36.520 A debate about something and I'm not going to get into the details 01:53:36.520 --> 01:53:39.960 but I was taking a counter argument to something that 01:53:40.760 --> 01:53:44.040 Especially in hindsight was actually very core and important to him 01:53:44.760 --> 01:53:48.840 And I was having this debate with him while he was driving me for like an hour to the ferry 01:53:49.560 --> 01:53:57.160 Like what am I doing? But he kept a completely level ahead. He didn't like abandon me on the side of the road 01:53:57.560 --> 01:54:05.160 um and Was there for the discussion despite it being something that was important to him and I was going against it 01:54:05.640 --> 01:54:10.040 um And like I don't know he just 01:54:12.760 --> 01:54:17.560 Be there be open because they're gonna poke at things about you once they get old enough 01:54:17.800 --> 01:54:22.600 um, and don't take it too personally be present love unconditionally and 01:54:23.320 --> 01:54:28.040 Show good examples Ray Hopefully any of that was useful 01:54:29.080 --> 01:54:34.280 The the most precise thing that I can find says q4 01:54:35.080 --> 01:54:41.640 um, oh Hold on. Okay. So I have a I do have a schedule 01:54:43.480 --> 01:54:47.480 It says, uh That these should 01:54:47.480 --> 01:54:51.560 arrive Before black friday now 01:54:53.240 --> 01:55:00.360 Getting these over the line has been a logistical challenge. There's all the different lengths. There's all the different packaging 01:55:00.360 --> 01:55:04.520 There's all the different ends. We're gonna have usba and usbc. I think at the start 01:55:05.080 --> 01:55:09.000 um And so it's it's been a whole thing 01:55:09.640 --> 01:55:12.280 We did our best to nail the product mix 01:55:12.760 --> 01:55:17.560 For all the different end terminations and all the different lengths because part of the 01:55:18.280 --> 01:55:21.400 Idea behind these is that they should be very cable management friendly 01:55:21.960 --> 01:55:26.440 So you should be able to instead of just looping up all your extra wires under your desk 01:55:26.440 --> 01:55:28.440 You should just have cables that are the right length 01:55:30.680 --> 01:55:34.760 So There could be lengths that we don't have a ton of 01:55:35.320 --> 01:55:38.280 That might end up selling more than we thought they would 01:55:39.240 --> 01:55:45.640 If you want to make sure that you get what you want you should probably not delay 01:55:47.480 --> 01:55:51.800 That is all I will say about that I think like re-stocking is going to be tough. No, we will restock them. We will 01:55:52.840 --> 01:55:55.240 But I don't know what the timeline will look like. Yeah 01:55:55.880 --> 01:55:58.920 And because this is a completely new product category for us 01:55:59.160 --> 01:56:02.280 And it's like he said they're gonna they're not necessarily going to be super cheap 01:56:02.360 --> 01:56:06.120 So it's hard to decide how many of these things you're going to bring in new category 01:56:06.280 --> 01:56:12.760 They're not cheap premium product. Like that's that that's the thing that I think a lot of people miss about the 01:56:13.960 --> 01:56:23.160 Merch on LTT Store. This is not a three dollar screwdriver from alibaba that we just put our brand on this is this is custom made 01:56:24.200 --> 01:56:29.560 This is this has expensive materials in it and it's the same with the cables. These are 01:56:30.280 --> 01:56:35.560 Expensive this cable stock is really really really expensive. The validation is expensive 01:56:35.960 --> 01:56:40.520 So It's just yeah, it's just not going to be cheap. That's all there is. That's all there is to it 01:56:43.720 --> 01:56:46.440 Uh, sure. What do you want to do for what do you want to do for topic? 01:56:48.600 --> 01:56:50.600 Do you want bad news or worse news? 01:56:52.360 --> 01:57:00.200 Is there anything is there anything that's good? No, just pick one pick one bad or worse worse. Oh sinful hands asked for worse. Okay. You you did too. Yeah hp 01:57:01.000 --> 01:57:04.200 Has been pulling support documents for retired products 01:57:05.960 --> 01:57:11.320 So this was posted on by gremlin one two three four five over on the LTT subreddit 01:57:11.800 --> 01:57:14.920 And it is a big load of bullshit and chips. Um 01:57:15.800 --> 01:57:19.560 HP retired product hp policy for products no longer supported 01:57:20.120 --> 01:57:25.880 HP support may vary by product once a product is retired the official hp support content 01:57:26.200 --> 01:57:32.840 troubleshooting articles user guides how-to videos etc for that product is removed from the hp website 01:57:33.560 --> 01:57:36.200 Additional support content may still be available 01:57:37.000 --> 01:57:41.640 May Still be available via the hp forums or from third-party websites 01:57:42.120 --> 01:57:48.520 However, hp takes no responsibility for content authored by third parties. This is 01:57:49.880 --> 01:57:54.760 Understandable no I didn't say justifiable 01:57:55.400 --> 01:57:58.920 I said understandable. I can comprehend 01:57:59.800 --> 01:58:04.680 The rationale behind the decision you are no longer selling this product 01:58:05.720 --> 01:58:09.320 And at a certain point at a certain point 01:58:10.440 --> 01:58:13.880 Eventually like would you expect general electric 01:58:14.440 --> 01:58:18.760 To have a product page up for their original light bulb today 01:58:21.000 --> 01:58:29.240 No because it never had a product page in the first place But even if it did would you expect them a hundred years later or whatever to have a product page up 01:58:29.960 --> 01:58:36.040 So there is a line. I think it'd be cool. It'd be right, but I think it'd be pretty cool. Would you expect it? No 01:58:36.840 --> 01:58:40.040 So there is a line somewhere. I don't know where that line. There is a line somewhere 01:58:40.680 --> 01:58:43.720 However, however, and this is my counter argument 01:58:45.240 --> 01:58:49.000 HP There's two big differences here one 01:58:50.120 --> 01:59:00.680 Is that you haven't even really existed that long You ain't general electric pretty much everything that has ever like existed as an hp product is 01:59:02.040 --> 01:59:07.080 Within the living memory of someone on earth today. Okay, so that's that's number one 01:59:08.440 --> 01:59:13.080 number two Is that It's pretty low effort 01:59:13.080 --> 01:59:15.880 Okay, you already had the page. It was already there 01:59:16.520 --> 01:59:20.440 I'm not saying that you have to have it like front and center on your website 01:59:20.760 --> 01:59:23.560 You know, I go to hp.com and the first thing I see is 01:59:24.120 --> 01:59:29.800 You know support downloads for some pavilion laptop from the early 2000s that wouldn't make any sense 01:59:30.520 --> 01:59:37.160 obviously But if you were to say for instance have a mirror like an archive 01:59:37.880 --> 01:59:45.080 Old site or something like that I would say that would be a reasonable compromise and I really don't think that the hosting cost 01:59:45.560 --> 01:59:48.040 Would be that much. I don't think you'd even need a mirror 01:59:48.600 --> 01:59:51.960 Reason number the third that I am offended by this 01:59:52.520 --> 01:59:59.640 Is that so many hp products are utterly reliant on your support 02:00:00.600 --> 02:00:04.600 documentation and especially downloads in order to function 02:00:04.600 --> 02:00:12.440 At all and there's a particular pet peeve of mine that I've had issues with hp products on that 02:00:13.240 --> 02:00:16.600 would be horribly impacted by this 02:00:17.240 --> 02:00:20.920 And that is vendor specific drivers my 02:00:22.360 --> 02:00:25.320 God do I ever want to just put a f***ing 02:00:25.960 --> 02:00:33.800 fist through the screen Every time I try to install a GPU driver and it doesn't work 02:00:34.440 --> 02:00:39.160 Because the laptop vendor has their own specific validated 02:00:39.640 --> 02:00:46.040 Snowflake version of the driver that is the only one I can use and if you pull that driver off your site 02:00:46.600 --> 02:00:50.600 So help me I will curse your name 02:00:50.840 --> 02:00:55.400 I will curse your name That's all I can really do. I don't really have the power to do more 02:00:55.400 --> 02:00:59.400 I know you guys were probably hoping for some kind of like like dramatic 02:00:59.880 --> 02:01:04.120 action that I could take but Cursed your name is about the best I can do 02:01:04.200 --> 02:01:09.720 Not bad Oh, yeah, no, I mean Intel for all their warts. Um 02:01:10.520 --> 02:01:14.840 Yeah, they they do this That's pretty old 12 years. Yeah 02:01:15.560 --> 02:01:18.440 I don't I don't think it's a big ask. I think you can bury it 02:01:19.000 --> 02:01:23.000 And I think you can throw warnings all over the place. Sure. Yeah, this is not supported 02:01:23.080 --> 02:01:28.600 This is not got the latest not been updated. This is not supported. This might not work anymore due to whatever reason 02:01:29.160 --> 02:01:33.240 reason number the fourth Is that 02:01:33.240 --> 02:01:38.280 And I know that this might actually be a significant part of the reason that you pulled this stuff down 02:01:38.760 --> 02:01:47.800 But sometimes the hp support page is the only place that I can find an obscure driver for something that I actually need for a different device 02:01:48.520 --> 02:01:56.840 A del is another one too Like if you're looking for a driver that you like a driver package that you can like unpack and then go find the 02:01:57.480 --> 02:02:05.640 Like the specific File to try to you know manually force the driver install for something like when you're going through those troubleshooting steps 02:02:06.120 --> 02:02:10.760 These tier one sites whether it's like an old wi-fi chip or an old network chip 02:02:11.320 --> 02:02:17.640 Or an old usb controller or something like that. Those are sometimes the only places that you can find this stuff and 02:02:19.000 --> 02:02:23.800 Come on, man. I know that I didn't even like buy your product in that case, but like 02:02:25.720 --> 02:02:31.080 You're the only trust me hp one kanobi. You're my only hope 02:02:31.880 --> 02:02:36.280 um Wow, that's pretty cool. This was linked by 02:02:39.000 --> 02:02:44.440 ch23 in full plane chat Very old school ibm support reason number five 02:02:46.840 --> 02:02:53.000 It's just a cool thing to do. Yeah, which is kind of tied into reason number four like it ibm can do it Intel can do it 02:02:53.800 --> 02:02:59.880 And yeah, it's sort of the culmination of all the other reasons. Is it really costing you that much? No to make this the this 02:03:00.840 --> 02:03:03.720 The support available like actively nothing 02:03:04.360 --> 02:03:12.040 Like honestly, I I ran into this. Oh, yeah with hp. I guess because they acquired samsung's printer division back in the day and then just 02:03:13.480 --> 02:03:16.680 After not a very long time effectively being pretty short 02:03:17.640 --> 02:03:25.400 Nuked all of the samsung printer stuff So they just bought it just to kill it because samsung sat. Oh dude samsung laser printers were like 02:03:26.120 --> 02:03:33.320 killer They were I still Rock at ml. I want to say like is it 16 10 or something like whatever 02:03:33.400 --> 02:03:37.880 It was like the one that ncix sold because it was the only printer that mattered because 02:03:38.680 --> 02:03:41.320 Samsung toner cartridges were super affordable 02:03:41.880 --> 02:03:45.720 Um, because the back then the the brother black and whites were also really good 02:03:46.360 --> 02:03:52.680 No, mine's mine was a color Yeah, okay. Yeah, was it was it was the I don't think the 10 was color 02:03:52.760 --> 02:03:58.280 I think that was actually that I think the ml 16 10 was the one that like ncix sold a bazillion of 02:03:58.280 --> 02:04:03.880 So it wasn't the uh, the color one that I have Yeah, no, I I have a different one, but it's some it's some samsung 02:04:04.920 --> 02:04:12.840 Like cheapo cheap is in cheerful compact color one and I actually have a special folder on my nas 02:04:14.120 --> 02:04:17.080 That is just called samsung ml whatever 02:04:17.640 --> 02:04:22.840 printer drivers and and utilities because even though I don't think 02:04:23.320 --> 02:04:29.160 It's had official compatibility for any os past like like vista or something 02:04:29.960 --> 02:04:34.760 It has continued to work. I can still install it on Windows 7 if I 02:04:35.400 --> 02:04:39.640 Force away enough warnings that it's not compatible and the printer still works 02:04:40.600 --> 02:04:44.760 Flawlessly, so I just can't justify buying a different printer 02:04:46.200 --> 02:04:50.360 I saw some comments from last week's show that I was I was projecting that there are no problems with Linux 02:04:50.520 --> 02:04:55.080 No, that is not what I'm saying, but I wouldn't be surprised if said printer worked like right away 02:04:55.480 --> 02:04:58.680 Uh depends 02:04:58.680 --> 02:05:05.720 I think that one if it doesn't Uh, oh, I think that one might have worked on Linux couldn't get it working on chromo s 02:05:06.360 --> 02:05:10.440 Oh, so that was annoying. Yeah, um, and it was like 02:05:11.720 --> 02:05:14.920 Not just I couldn't get it working. It was like I found 02:05:15.480 --> 02:05:21.080 Threads of other people discussing the challenges of getting it working and it like being a significant problem or something like that 02:05:21.560 --> 02:05:26.600 Um, but chromo s is more locked down than like real Linux as well. So 02:05:27.960 --> 02:05:31.480 Uh parallelogram says Linus you need to advocate for the framework printer 02:05:31.560 --> 02:05:37.400 I I don't know if I don't know if the printer market will be disrupted 02:05:38.520 --> 02:05:41.240 Or at least not in the near future because 02:05:41.880 --> 02:05:49.160 There's got to be like a significant patent moat around it and it's a shrinking market. Yes. What's the relevance of printers today? 02:05:49.480 --> 02:05:55.160 Yeah, like there's no way that I would be a new company. Like, you know, I'm sitting there. I'm sitting there with my fellow 02:05:55.640 --> 02:06:05.640 startup executives, um Dan and and luke and you know, one of them is like eating a snack and the other one is all tired and cranky because he's 02:06:06.040 --> 02:06:10.840 You know busy putting his house back together and we're we're putting our we're putting our heads together and we're going 02:06:10.920 --> 02:06:18.360 Okay We need a we need a a billion dollar idea for a new company. I know let's make fucking printers 02:06:19.720 --> 02:06:25.880 Like the least the least exciting not not to pump them, but this is almost the problem. You've got stuff like this 02:06:26.760 --> 02:06:29.480 Yeah, like are you gonna beat 60 dollars? 02:06:30.440 --> 02:06:34.040 Canadian is they're going for a loss most of the time, right? Yep. Yep 02:06:35.400 --> 02:06:38.200 Do you guys bring up the open source one that's coming? 02:06:39.160 --> 02:06:43.640 So that's on my radar three dollars us that's on my radar 02:06:43.800 --> 02:06:48.040 But I'm kind of waiting for it to develop a little further and I want to do a full LTT video on that 02:06:48.040 --> 02:06:50.360 It looks really cool. I believe it took this long 02:06:52.280 --> 02:06:57.080 Like I I don't but I also do 02:06:57.480 --> 02:07:04.120 Because to luke's point just buying it is so affordable that it's almost not worth it to solve the problem 02:07:04.920 --> 02:07:12.840 And the other thing is that As far as I can tell like printing is one of those totally under appreciated aspects of modern tech 02:07:13.160 --> 02:07:20.680 Like hard drives like hard drives are still amazing. Yeah, right like they're so I don't know why they have such like a bad rap 02:07:20.760 --> 02:07:25.640 I think yeah, people just use it wrong or something. No, it's just that they're they're not they're not exciting 02:07:25.640 --> 02:07:27.640 They haven't been exciting for 15 years 02:07:28.840 --> 02:07:32.200 I think they're still very cool a lot of change in that 15 years 02:07:32.440 --> 02:07:40.200 It is a it is a it is a technology They're a technological marvel like you see these ones with like seven friggin platters inside them and they're 15 02:07:40.360 --> 02:07:46.440 They're spinning around with this little tiny head more at like hurricane force winds like it's just like what are 02:07:47.080 --> 02:07:50.200 How do they how do they work? You know, it's amazing 02:07:50.680 --> 02:07:54.920 um printers 36 also pretty remarkable 02:07:55.640 --> 02:08:00.200 like printing at super fine quality 02:08:01.160 --> 02:08:04.120 Taking a liquid and applying it to 02:08:04.760 --> 02:08:11.720 any random Bullshit paper right because that's a that's a huge factor like if a printer could know 02:08:12.520 --> 02:08:19.320 exactly the thickness Exactly the absorbency and exactly the surface profile of the paper that you had in it 02:08:20.200 --> 02:08:22.200 I think that it would be something that 02:08:23.240 --> 02:08:28.280 Someone with reasonably sufficient cleverness could solve in a relatively short period of time 02:08:28.920 --> 02:08:33.240 But they don't not at all. There's so many variables 02:08:34.760 --> 02:08:40.120 The the temperature the humidity the altitude the the everything there's so many 02:08:40.520 --> 02:08:45.720 Flipping variables in it. It's kind of a miracle they work in there so the fbi can find you or cia or whatever it is 02:08:45.960 --> 02:08:51.480 Yeah, I mean Sure, I that's not what I was thinking of but yeah, it's impressive 02:08:52.760 --> 02:08:55.880 It is it's very impressive and I 02:08:56.760 --> 02:09:01.000 I don't know. I guess I yeah, it just doesn't surprise me especially when the stakes are so low 02:09:01.400 --> 02:09:04.280 It's like I could do this. I could solve for all these things 02:09:05.000 --> 02:09:07.000 Or hear me out 02:09:09.000 --> 02:09:14.840 45 us dollars Yeah, right because that probably that probably ships with prime too 02:09:15.720 --> 02:09:22.520 Like is it free shipping on this? Uh, yeah free. Yeah free free shipping free delivery by tomorrow 02:09:23.240 --> 02:09:30.360 Oh, no no in a week Uh, this isn't even prime though. Oh, okay. I don't think so. I'm not logged in or anything got it 02:09:33.080 --> 02:09:39.080 Yeah crazy when bingo chronified says 45 us dollars plus their stupid subscription nonsense 02:09:40.200 --> 02:09:43.720 Oh, it requires an ink toner subscription. It says it has three months included 02:09:43.720 --> 02:09:51.160 Yeah, well after that you better pay for your subscription Yeah, but here's the kind of weird thing and this is part of the reason why I'm agreeing with Linus is a lot of people 02:09:51.160 --> 02:09:55.560 That need a printer might only need it for three months or they might only need it 02:09:56.680 --> 02:10:03.800 Every once in a while. I think I think up to like seven pages a month is like a very nominal cost or something like that 02:10:03.800 --> 02:10:07.240 I can't remember what the actual numbers are, but if you if you like me 02:10:07.960 --> 02:10:09.960 Use your printer maybe three times a year 02:10:11.320 --> 02:10:16.760 Actually as my kids have Gotten higher up in school there. We're starting to use our printer again more 02:10:16.920 --> 02:10:21.160 But there was there was a long period where oh any vaughan for the business would often use the printer 02:10:21.160 --> 02:10:24.600 But for me, I very very rarely don't have a screen 02:10:24.920 --> 02:10:28.040 So there's very rarely a reason that I would need to print something out 02:10:28.760 --> 02:10:35.800 um The printing subscription is complete bs just to be completely clear. I'm just saying these are reasons why 02:10:36.680 --> 02:10:41.000 um Why people just don't do it. Yeah 02:10:41.720 --> 02:10:43.720 Like 02:10:45.240 --> 02:10:49.320 For us, I think it's very easy to take a principled stand on stuff like this 02:10:49.480 --> 02:10:54.360 We are educated on the subject to the point where we we know what the other options are 02:10:55.000 --> 02:10:59.560 We're educated on the history of it. We know that it used to be different and it used to be better 02:10:59.960 --> 02:11:03.960 Um, we have the technical skill to implement a better solution 02:11:05.240 --> 02:11:10.360 But a lot of people don't know any of that don't care any of that and they look at it and they go 02:11:10.520 --> 02:11:13.640 Okay, sorry it costs how much and I need how many documents? 02:11:14.760 --> 02:11:18.520 And they just they just make a decision based on the information that is presented to them 02:11:19.080 --> 02:11:24.840 And that's not they're not bad people for doing it and they're not like they're not stupid 02:11:25.000 --> 02:11:28.360 They just have other completely different priorities from what we do 02:11:32.200 --> 02:11:37.480 Oh bummer the jay's lost. Well, that's a downer I was curious 02:11:37.720 --> 02:11:42.440 Oh Yeah, sure. Uh, what sorry, what are we supposed to be doing? 02:11:43.240 --> 02:11:47.800 Uh flow playing sponsors. What was that? Those are down at the bottom. I think was that a merge message? 02:11:48.760 --> 02:11:55.960 I don't know what we just did That was an entire topic. What was it on hp removing support. Oh, right. Oh, yeah, right 02:11:57.720 --> 02:12:01.560 Luke What is one gripe you have with any google product? 02:12:02.600 --> 02:12:06.520 Search in all of them.

It gives me one from three years ago. Annoying 02:12:16.920 --> 02:12:24.120 I don't know what the point of this is me neither There are some things google does well like promoting smaller creators as riley says 02:12:24.680 --> 02:12:27.640 But most would agree google is going through an enshrification 02:12:28.040 --> 02:12:32.360 Everything from the deterioration of youtube search to annoying ai summaries to gmail 02:12:33.000 --> 02:12:40.600 Open slash show this link Do the call to action. I can do the opening and showing you can do the call to the thing. Okay 02:12:42.600 --> 02:12:44.600 Join riley and oh 02:12:45.800 --> 02:12:48.760 Oh, is it a I'm assuming it's this one. Yeah, it's got to be that one 02:12:50.520 --> 02:12:57.880 Join riley and adam in their 40 minute discussion about how google went from a don't be evil company who promised no ads 02:12:58.360 --> 02:13:01.800 To jamming ai into everything at LMG.gg 02:13:02.200 --> 02:13:08.520 Slash Floatplane Melody bun in Floatplane chat says this video is so good 02:13:09.400 --> 02:13:12.280 People seem to really like it. You heard it. You heard it here first 02:13:12.920 --> 02:13:18.680 From melody bun Video so good. I haven't actually checked it out yet. I didn't even know about that. That sounds really cool 02:13:18.680 --> 02:13:25.880 Apparently it was shot back in july and one of the commenters on the channel pointed out that it's when the google video was taken down 02:13:26.760 --> 02:13:29.560 So we were we were probably feeling fresh wounds 02:13:30.120 --> 02:13:35.320 Why did it take so long for us to upload this? I wonder apparently there was just like other things scheduled and 02:13:35.560 --> 02:13:38.440 There were some audio problems that I fixed actually earlier in the week 02:13:39.160 --> 02:13:45.320 Oh, what was wrong with it? Um some sort of clipping issues. So I just had to rematch a couple of the original files, but why was that you? 02:13:46.040 --> 02:13:50.120 um Well, it was done here on the windset. So a lot of it was 02:13:50.760 --> 02:13:54.280 Uh, some sort of error with my system. Oh, oh 02:13:55.080 --> 02:13:58.920 Fair enough and it's hard so 02:13:59.000 --> 02:14:02.760 Considered we've been edited hard Was it long? 02:14:02.760 --> 02:14:07.720 That was very short Didn't take very long at all like two minutes. Maybe 02:14:08.840 --> 02:14:13.160 Oh, jeez. Okay, so then why did it take four months to okay? You know what? It doesn't matter the point is 02:14:13.800 --> 02:14:17.320 So that I don't know. I think it was just the scheduling thing. I really think it was just yeah 02:14:17.800 --> 02:14:22.680 They had other content coming out. That makes sense All right, what are we supposed to be doing Dan? 02:14:23.320 --> 02:14:27.400 Uh, I guess if that's the whole Floatplane thing. Let's talk about his sponsors.

This is real dollars not canadian maple money. Oh 02:17:07.240 --> 02:17:09.240 four hundred dollars 02:17:10.760 --> 02:17:12.760 On a lego 02:17:14.120 --> 02:17:17.000 And when I say a lego, I don't mean 02:17:17.640 --> 02:17:21.320 Like your boomer parents referred to your lego set 02:17:22.120 --> 02:17:26.440 I mean Like one figure one mini figure 02:17:27.720 --> 02:17:31.320 Some harley quinn thing that was exclusive to comic con 02:17:32.120 --> 02:17:38.520 or something And it made my brain hurt and my brain still hurts thinking about it 02:17:39.080 --> 02:17:45.240 That's wild. My brain hurts like the refresh rate that you could get out of an AMD radion GPU 02:17:46.120 --> 02:17:52.680 That's how much it hurts right now. Wow. My brain hurts like Dan's brain hurts 02:17:53.400 --> 02:17:56.680 listening to That joke 02:17:56.680 --> 02:18:02.360 It's not as bad as the other one with the boulder and I thought the boulder one was pretty good. That was good excellent 02:18:02.680 --> 02:18:05.720 The boulder was that makes it bad. Um, anyway 02:18:06.680 --> 02:18:11.480 Another thing that will leave you surprised about robert's upgrade is well october in general 02:18:11.800 --> 02:18:17.240 It is a spooky season after all and with the spooky season comes time to play spooky games 02:18:17.720 --> 02:18:23.160 The silent hill 2 remake comes to mind which you'll want a good CPU for good thing that as is tradition 02:18:23.480 --> 02:18:28.920 AMD has another giveaway for y'all and this time you can win one of five Ryzen 999 50x 3d processors 02:18:28.920 --> 02:18:36.280 That's a really nice sweepstakes enter today using our link in the description and don't forget to check out robert's AMD ultimate upgrade 02:18:37.800 --> 02:18:41.320 All right, am I doing You want me to do all four? 02:18:41.320 --> 02:18:46.760 Uh, sure. All right as a short break. It took me until literally right now to realize 02:18:46.840 --> 02:18:50.680 I don't know why the AMD upgrade things. It's us dollars 02:18:51.320 --> 02:18:55.160 Yeah, I was always really surprised that they fit the stuff into their budgets 02:18:56.680 --> 02:19:05.480 I was like wow. Yeah, that's like 20 20 great with the deal shopping. It's very impressive. Um, it's about 1.4 right now 02:19:06.280 --> 02:19:15.800 Oh my god, really? Yeah, so So depending depending on when people have done their, uh, ultimate tech upgrades, right? 02:19:16.120 --> 02:19:19.480 They've had anywhere in the last five years, right? They've had anywhere from 02:19:20.120 --> 02:19:23.640 An extra 20 dollars for every hundred to an extra 02:19:24.520 --> 02:19:27.960 Uh, 45 dollars almost for every hundred 02:19:28.360 --> 02:19:32.200 So your your timing of your AMD ultimate tech upgrade actually 02:19:32.920 --> 02:19:37.480 affects how much stuff you get However, the problem is that over the last five years inflation's gone 02:19:38.120 --> 02:19:41.560 Burr So I suspect it kind of comes out in the wash 02:19:42.520 --> 02:19:46.760 This was a really good time if you managed to nail it in like late 2022 02:19:47.240 --> 02:19:50.120 Then you got a pretty sick, uh aimed ultimate tech upgrade 02:19:50.600 --> 02:19:54.920 Uh, but then again, there are certain things that inflation has not really affected like 02:19:55.640 --> 02:20:01.480 Like tv's tv. How are tv's always just a better deal than they were yesterday? I don't I don't think I'll ever 02:20:01.800 --> 02:20:06.200 TVs are kind of fascinating that way. All right. There's a there one of the only things that just 02:20:06.680 --> 02:20:11.160 completely ignores the laws of inflation 02:20:11.160 --> 02:20:13.560 Completely weird. Yeah. Yeah, I don't get it 02:20:15.480 --> 02:20:17.480 Um, oh shoot. I was going somewhere with that 02:20:18.760 --> 02:20:22.840 I don't know why but I was in a best buy not that long ago. I don't think I was buying something 02:20:22.840 --> 02:20:27.240 I think I was just waiting for someone and I walked through and I walked through the tv department. It was just like 02:20:28.600 --> 02:20:31.320 What yeah, how can I get so much for so little? 02:20:32.040 --> 02:20:35.880 It's weird. I don't I don't do any other department. You're like, okay. Yeah, this all makes sense 02:20:35.960 --> 02:20:45.080 Then you go to tv's and it's just Oh, right. No, I know what I was going to say speaking of inflation in tech being, you know crazy outside of tv's 02:20:45.640 --> 02:20:47.800 Guess what guess what we just built today 02:20:49.800 --> 02:20:57.400 Can you remember the last time that we did a video that was just me building a pc that someone might want to buy 02:20:58.280 --> 02:21:03.240 Like no gimmick no like we bought the worst rated thing on amazon or whatever 02:21:03.320 --> 02:21:06.840 Can you even remember the last time I did that without looking it up chat? 02:21:07.240 --> 02:21:09.240 Can you remember the last time? 02:21:10.840 --> 02:21:20.040 Before you get to your punchline not secondhand Brand new hardware. I do think you should consider doing an update to your ai parts video. Oh, yeah, that's a good idea 02:21:20.040 --> 02:21:24.760 See if it does any better Uh Lulliverse says two years ago 02:21:25.560 --> 02:21:31.800 What's the matta says pre-covid? No, there were definitely ones during covet. I know because I shot them at my house. It was horrible 02:21:32.360 --> 02:21:37.240 Um, yeah, a lot of guesses pretty much everyone agrees years ago. Do you know why? 02:21:38.200 --> 02:21:41.320 Because I didn't feel comfortable recommending anything 02:21:42.440 --> 02:21:46.600 GPUs have been honestly that totally makes sense ludicrously 02:21:47.320 --> 02:21:53.320 overpriced that I haven't had Computer systems that I was happy recommending 02:21:54.600 --> 02:21:59.640 There was actually a nearer a more recent one that I I forgot about and I guess a lot of you forgot about 02:21:59.960 --> 02:22:04.600 We did like a six five hundred dollar or six hundred dollar gaming pc with an arc b580 02:22:05.480 --> 02:22:09.480 And that ended up being true that ended up being a real thing b580 02:22:09.480 --> 02:22:18.360 It took a little while but did come around to msrp And you can build a really sick gaming pc for like five six hundred bucks with an arc b580 or b570 02:22:18.360 --> 02:22:25.880 Maybe is what we used but but with an arc at its core Um, but anyway the the system that we built just now it was the msrp pc 02:22:28.440 --> 02:22:30.440 Every single component 02:22:31.800 --> 02:22:34.360 Was either at or get this 02:22:35.160 --> 02:22:41.800 Below msrp crazy that that's a get this when that used to be like the default for a quarter to half of your parts 02:22:41.880 --> 02:22:49.960 That's a hilarious gimmick. So the msrp pc we we targeted like a kind of with some inflation 02:22:49.960 --> 02:22:54.120 But maybe not all of it about the budget of the very first 02:22:55.080 --> 02:23:03.080 LTT build guide, which was a 1500 dollar us gaming pc back 11 or 12 years ago or whenever it was 02:23:03.640 --> 02:23:10.120 And so we we targeted 1800 dollars at msrp and we got it for under 1600 02:23:11.080 --> 02:23:21.400 Including uh An rtx 5070 ti at msrp for 750 bucks. You found one at msrp. Yeah, there's lots. Oh, they're like 02:23:21.800 --> 02:23:24.440 They're just there now you can just buy them now 02:23:25.000 --> 02:23:31.160 I'm not necessarily Saying that you should I still think that there's better values. It was gonna be an Intel card by default 02:23:31.240 --> 02:23:37.240 No, there's better values on the market like the b580. Oh, I think it's time for our weekly b580 check 02:23:38.200 --> 02:23:43.480 Is it there has line has figured out his affiliate code yet the answer is no 02:23:45.480 --> 02:23:51.720 But can you still buy a b580 for msrp it is astonishingly hard to get 02:23:53.560 --> 02:23:55.560 Certain information from certain people 02:23:56.840 --> 02:24:03.480 What uh There's a there's a site we've been trying to work with to get all for their like stock and pricing information. Yeah my 02:24:04.440 --> 02:24:07.960 The amount of bumps Hey, anything happening here? 02:24:07.960 --> 02:24:13.400 And it's not it's I won't say who it is, but because I know people will assume it's new egg. It is not new egg 02:24:13.560 --> 02:24:20.440 Okay, cool. Um, but I was gonna say should I stop featuring new? No, no, it's not it's not new egg, but uh, this is open box. I'm not counting it 02:24:21.160 --> 02:24:24.200 um this is 02:24:24.440 --> 02:24:28.440 What is this? What am I looking at more options from whatever like is this? 02:24:29.080 --> 02:24:33.480 Oh, this is in cart. Oh, yeah. Oh, this is yeah. Yeah, the only problem with this one is I already have it in my cart 02:24:33.480 --> 02:24:35.480 I think here. I'm just going to empty out my cart 02:24:37.560 --> 02:24:43.240 Remove here we go b580. Sorry. Sorry. We'll do this again.

Just banger the whole time 02:40:10.680 --> 02:40:14.200 I just made the mistake of watching the extended cut with my son 02:40:15.160 --> 02:40:19.640 You don't start with the extended cut He didn't make it to the movie 02:40:19.720 --> 02:40:25.880 it's a it's Theatrical cut is the way to go for for people who don't already love the movie 02:40:26.680 --> 02:40:33.560 Emma hasn't seen any of them because when they were coming out she fell asleep through them every time 02:40:34.360 --> 02:40:39.640 Uh, we watched extended edition because I think that's the only version that's going to play at my parents house 02:40:40.120 --> 02:40:43.640 Um, it's three hours and 28 minutes long. That is 02:40:44.680 --> 02:40:47.400 And she loved it loved the whole thing. That's a long movie 02:40:47.720 --> 02:40:49.720 I don't know if that was optional 02:40:51.320 --> 02:40:55.240 Given the setting Oh loving it. Yeah. Oh, okay 02:40:55.960 --> 02:40:58.120 But I do think she genuinely did really like it 02:40:59.560 --> 02:41:03.720 Well, the test is without you bringing it up will she ask to watch two towers 02:41:06.440 --> 02:41:09.960 She's been trying to she that was an immediate discussion afterwards 02:41:09.960 --> 02:41:15.080 So I don't think that's fair, but she has been trying to find the the an appropriate date for the next time 02:41:15.080 --> 02:41:19.000 So I think that might count. Okay. Okay. I'm not sure it's not exactly, but I think I'm gonna count 02:41:19.000 --> 02:41:23.480 I'm just I'm just I'm just we'll see if there's that'll be the test if there's actual follow-up 02:41:23.560 --> 02:41:26.440 Exactly and an attempt an actual attempt is made. Yeah 02:41:26.920 --> 02:41:30.520 Like that's uh, that's fair. I've been trying to get my son into final fantasy tactics 02:41:30.520 --> 02:41:35.240 Just because like usually during his game time. He just plays rocket league, which is fine 02:41:35.240 --> 02:41:39.320 It's good to but like no life in one game at his age seems like 02:41:39.800 --> 02:41:45.240 Kind of kind of dumb. Yeah, you're kind of missing out You gotta see the spread. So I've been trying to get him to to try 02:41:45.800 --> 02:41:50.760 Try tactics because it's a completely different genre. He's never gotten into So the first time I like sat with him 02:41:51.320 --> 02:41:55.560 Because it's it's kind of hard game to get into and then 02:41:55.560 --> 02:42:01.480 And then I was like, okay Let's see if he actually cares about this at all because I'm not gonna like force my kids to like eat your gaming vegetables 02:42:01.480 --> 02:42:05.240 Right like play this game or I'm not gonna do that. I do think it's it's a 02:42:05.960 --> 02:42:10.040 More of a thinking game that I don't mind him playing as much as you know 02:42:10.920 --> 02:42:20.120 Uh, I don't know just like click the thing Random clicker game or something like that. Like it's definitely something there's there's definitely degrees of turning off my brain to gaming 02:42:20.600 --> 02:42:26.920 Uh, but I'm not gonna like force him To play certain games or anything, but no, he's he apparently has gotten into it. He's talking about like 02:42:27.320 --> 02:42:33.000 Yeah, oh, yeah, how did you get to that class and like how do I do this? So I feel like he would enjoy the min maxing 02:42:34.600 --> 02:42:43.320 Seems like that kind of a gamer. It's kind of a dork It's good. I'm a proud dork father. Yeah. Yep 100 percent dork father sounds like a title 02:42:44.760 --> 02:42:48.200 Sounds like a like a gaming gangster movie or something. Yeah 02:42:49.560 --> 02:42:53.000 Uh What are we supposed to be doing Dan? 02:42:53.400 --> 02:42:58.280 We want to get rid of the rest of the topics and then go to end after dark. Oh, yeah, we could do that. Yeah 02:42:59.320 --> 02:43:03.000 Whatever happened to phillips's fixables program 02:43:03.800 --> 02:43:06.840 This was posted on the subreddit and the reason that I flagged it 02:43:07.480 --> 02:43:14.920 Was because I had been wondering the exact same thing as I stood in my bathroom and shaved with my phillips shaver 02:43:15.640 --> 02:43:17.880 And then I was too lazy to look it up 02:43:18.840 --> 02:43:23.400 but uh user mcbyu98 02:43:24.120 --> 02:43:32.520 Did it? And went over onto printables where they found that phillips after getting a whole bunch of positive pr 02:43:32.680 --> 02:43:38.280 Around this idea of releasing 3d models for replacement parts for their products 02:43:39.240 --> 02:43:43.480 only ever uploaded two stupid models 02:43:43.480 --> 02:43:46.920 and then just Never did anything with it 02:43:47.320 --> 02:43:53.560 3d printable parts for fresh starts welcome to phillips printables a collaboration with prusa research to help phillips products last longer in your home 02:43:53.960 --> 02:44:00.280 Here you'll find 3d printable spare parts clever fixes and creative upgrades designed with sustainability and longevity in mind 02:44:00.680 --> 02:44:03.640 Some are made by us many are inspired by you 02:44:04.200 --> 02:44:10.920 Download print and share. Let's make fixing part of everyday life guys. You got to do more than two things 02:44:11.880 --> 02:44:13.880 That doesn't count. Yeah 02:44:15.560 --> 02:44:18.680 Uh, it makes me sad. I was really excited about this. Yeah, me too 02:44:20.280 --> 02:44:26.120 and we like That's me being excited about it. Look how happy that guy is. Yeah 02:44:26.280 --> 02:44:32.920 I'm not happy anymore. It's very frustrating. You gotta if you're gonna do something you have to actually do it. That's how it works 02:44:34.360 --> 02:44:41.160 Not cool Um, okay, there were notes for this, but I just didn't 02:44:42.520 --> 02:44:49.400 Do them Uh, and phillips isn't the only major company to have joined prusa's slowly growing brands program 02:44:49.800 --> 02:44:56.360 Which includes for placement parts from cooler master and Noctua as well as accessories from framework Corsair and more 02:44:57.320 --> 02:45:03.880 And d brand I guess who also only has two kill switch accessories for shame slash s 02:45:05.240 --> 02:45:08.680 Hey, these are fine though because these are like enhancements to the thing 02:45:09.160 --> 02:45:12.120 And I just I haven't looked at the other brands ones yet 02:45:12.200 --> 02:45:16.680 And I'll search around but just to give I'm gonna hijack this for a second just to give cooler masters and props 02:45:16.680 --> 02:45:20.360 This is a lot of stuff. Wow. Good job cooler master. This is a ton of things 02:45:22.840 --> 02:45:26.600 All right, how many of them are useful What are they? 02:45:26.600 --> 02:45:30.760 They got some badges that doesn't necessarily mean much a figurine. Okay 02:45:32.440 --> 02:45:35.400 Stacked hard drive mount hard drive mount. I like that. That's cool. That's cool 02:45:36.760 --> 02:45:38.760 Sample holders is all right 02:45:40.120 --> 02:45:45.560 A bunch of different mounting things which seems all right razz pie compatible thing top panel replacement 02:45:45.560 --> 02:45:51.480 Oh, I like that. That's cool. That's solid face amounting bracket. Okay. I like that. That's cool panel clips. That's cool 02:45:51.640 --> 02:45:55.480 Our supply bracket. That's cool case feet a bunch of different case feet 02:45:56.600 --> 02:46:01.640 Okay, okay, so this is for pies pretty good stuff here. Pretty good stuff. Not too bad. Not too bad. Not too bad 02:46:02.040 --> 02:46:07.800 I like the atx 24 pin dual 90 degree adapter bridge is pretty sick too. Yep. Agreed 02:46:08.520 --> 02:46:11.560 That's actually very cool. I like that discussion question 02:46:12.120 --> 02:46:18.120 Is this a a resource problem or is the program just stalled due to a lack of 02:46:18.680 --> 02:46:24.200 Corporate will which to me sounds like the same thing. Yep. Um, I suspect so 02:46:25.880 --> 02:46:29.400 I would like to see whoever was working on this 02:46:30.200 --> 02:46:33.800 get it together and get some more stuff out there because 02:46:34.520 --> 02:46:37.240 While the community can go in 02:46:37.960 --> 02:46:42.920 Model replacement parts. It's a lot more work and it would be better 02:46:43.880 --> 02:46:45.880 If brands just said hey 02:46:47.240 --> 02:46:51.480 Here's the geometry That's way better 02:46:51.560 --> 02:46:55.720 Let's keep things out of landfills and let's actually follow through on the things that we promise 02:46:56.840 --> 02:47:02.680 Uh, we have a follow-up to our review of the rog xbox ally x 02:47:03.640 --> 02:47:07.560 We said in our video that due to the way that our benchmarking tools work 02:47:08.040 --> 02:47:13.640 We tested all of our handhelds in standard Windows mode. This caused 02:47:14.280 --> 02:47:18.600 I have to admit an unexpected amount of backlash toward the review 02:47:19.160 --> 02:47:25.560 Um, so I feel the need to I guess expand upon the reasoning that we had for testing it that way 02:47:26.120 --> 02:47:35.320 um Windows Fullscreen or the xbox fullscreen experience in Windows is not like a it's not magic 02:47:36.040 --> 02:47:39.560 You're still running the same drivers. You're still running the same 02:47:40.200 --> 02:47:44.440 operating system kernel. Uh, you're still running the same games 02:47:45.560 --> 02:47:51.080 What it is is RAM savings so particularly on a machine like the 02:47:51.640 --> 02:47:56.840 I'm gonna get this wrong xbox ally rog xbox ally x is that is that that's 02:47:57.400 --> 02:48:04.600 Whatever the sorry the ally 2 running on a machine like the ally 2 that has 24 gigs of high speed 02:48:05.080 --> 02:48:07.960 I think it's like 8 000 megatransfer per second memory 02:48:08.920 --> 02:48:16.120 Freeing up RAM is very unlikely to impact gaming performance unless you are in a RAM 02:48:16.440 --> 02:48:21.320 Limited scenario, but that's unlikely to happen because you're running it at maximum 1080p 02:48:21.960 --> 02:48:25.000 On 24 gigs of of shared pooled memory 02:48:25.400 --> 02:48:31.480 So because it was going to result in us not being able to use our best benchmark suite 02:48:32.280 --> 02:48:36.120 We made the decision to just run in the standard desktop mode 02:48:37.800 --> 02:48:41.880 What we should have probably done though is we should have done like a quick and dirty 02:48:43.480 --> 02:48:49.320 You know at least one game grounds validated our hypothesis and presented that to the community. Yeah 02:48:49.880 --> 02:48:52.440 The lab did validate the hypothesis 02:48:53.000 --> 02:48:56.440 But we didn't include that in the video and that was a significant 02:48:57.160 --> 02:49:01.560 Error, um, you know, I just saw it as hey, I don't think this is a big deal 02:49:02.120 --> 02:49:08.200 And I'd rather we have better consistency in our benchmarking across all of our videos and across all the devices 02:49:08.680 --> 02:49:12.840 And hey, it's an opportunity to call out a smaller creator who I know does a really great handheld content 02:49:12.840 --> 02:49:16.280 It's a super nice guy. I finally got to meet him in person a little while ago. Um 02:49:17.240 --> 02:49:21.720 I shouldn't say a little while ago I finally got to see him again at the the unveiling event for this cool shout out 02:49:22.360 --> 02:49:27.720 To talk some shop for a quick second Yeah What you could do in the future if you don't want to go through all the explanation 02:49:27.880 --> 02:49:30.920 Because I know there's like you might lose some audience there or whatever 02:49:31.480 --> 02:49:34.760 Toss to a Labs article and have us write a companion for it 02:49:35.320 --> 02:49:39.720 And then we can talk about the validation that was done in a companion article 02:49:40.440 --> 02:49:50.520 anyway Ars Technica also validated the hypothesis testing xbox fse versus Windows 11 desktop and the results are pretty 02:49:51.320 --> 02:49:57.000 Minor um We can use the ars link above or basically roughly 02:49:57.400 --> 02:50:03.160 Point one to one FPS more in the full screen experience in all power profiles except silent 02:50:03.800 --> 02:50:08.680 Borderlands 3 sees the best gains even in silent mode, but it's still pretty minimal 02:50:09.240 --> 02:50:11.240 um 02:50:13.240 --> 02:50:21.400 Yeah So i'm going to make you guys go read the ars technical article if you want to see the exact differences because that's how this works 02:50:21.800 --> 02:50:26.120 We don't want to just you know take their benchmark results, but in a nutshell 02:50:26.680 --> 02:50:32.280 Um, it's not a big deal, but we should have presented that information a little bit differently 02:50:33.080 --> 02:50:37.480 honestly I think a big part of the backlash is just how utterly 02:50:38.440 --> 02:50:44.840 Unexciting this product was and how little else there was to talk about with regards to the ally 2 02:50:46.200 --> 02:50:50.920 And I don't think that's even because it's a bad product. I think if it was just called 02:50:51.720 --> 02:50:55.000 rog ally 2 x or rog ally x 2 02:50:55.560 --> 02:50:58.120 And people's expectations were that this was just 02:50:58.920 --> 02:51:05.640 Another ASUS gaming handheld that had a better processor in it and improved ergonomics and all the other things that are better about it 02:51:06.040 --> 02:51:08.360 Um, I think people would have been stoked on it 02:51:09.240 --> 02:51:11.640 But because it was pitched as xbox 02:51:12.600 --> 02:51:19.320 I think the biggest one for me is that the pricing is just such a massive disappointment. I was expecting a much different, uh 02:51:22.200 --> 02:51:24.360 I don't know something more unique. Well, it's just 02:51:25.560 --> 02:51:29.560 I don't even need something unique But if you're gonna call it xbox 02:51:30.760 --> 02:51:38.280 say Like make it an xbox. It's not an xbox. It doesn't play xbox games 02:51:39.640 --> 02:51:45.160 What do you want from me? Do you remember this is a deep cut? Do you remember my 02:51:45.960 --> 02:51:47.960 xbox and playstation drive idea? 02:51:49.560 --> 02:51:53.800 Drive this is this is ancient. This is probably over 10 years ago 02:51:54.440 --> 02:51:57.000 I had this idea that it would be cool if they made 02:51:57.560 --> 02:52:01.960 xbox and playstation basically like optical drives that you could put in your computer 02:52:02.360 --> 02:52:04.360 Oh, yeah, that'd be super cool. Um 02:52:06.200 --> 02:52:09.880 That type of concept for something like this would have been pretty cool 02:52:12.520 --> 02:52:19.480 Um Someone okay, hold on if it could like officially effectively emulate an xbox or something 02:52:20.520 --> 02:52:24.440 Yeah, that'd be that'd be super cool j increased 02:52:24.440 --> 02:52:29.000 08 it says search aliax on twitter. They're saying everyone's a liar and it's an xbox 02:52:29.960 --> 02:52:34.360 I mean Are they who's saying that I don't I don't see anyone saying that 02:52:35.080 --> 02:52:38.760 Um, also, yeah, who's they? Yeah, also like 02:52:39.960 --> 02:52:46.360 If people feel the need to Um, if people feel the need to post their opinions on twitter 02:52:46.920 --> 02:52:50.360 I don't know man. I just I'm having a real hard time with 02:52:51.000 --> 02:52:54.760 Sort of reading anything On that site lately 02:52:54.840 --> 02:52:58.040 For me, it's not even necessarily. I mean it never has been 02:52:59.720 --> 02:53:03.560 It's not even necessarily It's it's that format 02:53:04.040 --> 02:53:06.040 It just is so conducive to 02:53:07.080 --> 02:53:14.600 toxicity. Yes That format is just terrible. It's not twitter in in particular. I I don't like 02:53:15.720 --> 02:53:20.200 Blue sky either. I don't like any of them. I just don't like that format 02:53:21.800 --> 02:53:24.280 Infinite scrolling is already bad by default 02:53:25.240 --> 02:53:31.720 and then you Make it so everyone can scream at each other all the time. It's just yep. Yeah, maybe I'll just 02:53:32.360 --> 02:53:35.800 Maybe I'll just close the tab. Wow. Nice. I feel better already. See 02:53:36.920 --> 02:53:42.120 Sick nice Microsoft is having some problems with the locals 02:53:42.840 --> 02:53:49.000 Microsoft continues its path Forcing Windows 11 users to log into a microsoft account upon installing the os 02:53:49.080 --> 02:53:55.560 This is the second time this year that microsoft has disabled a feature that allows users to install Windows 11 without an internet connection 02:53:56.120 --> 02:54:00.520 Earlier this year. They removed the bypass nro command and now 02:54:02.600 --> 02:54:08.840 Luke has moved the document. Nope. They have removed the start ms-cxh 02:54:09.560 --> 02:54:17.480 colon local only command Using that command now resets the out-of-box experience or ubi process 02:54:18.360 --> 02:54:26.680 The question is Why though? Well, the reason is so bad a microsoft representative told the verge. This is a quote 02:54:27.480 --> 02:54:31.720 These mechanisms also inadvertently skip critical setup screens 02:54:32.120 --> 02:54:35.960 Potentially causing a device that is not fully configured for use 02:54:39.880 --> 02:54:42.920 Right I didn't want that configuration 02:54:43.800 --> 02:54:47.640 necessarily What about that? 02:54:48.520 --> 02:54:52.440 So the simplest bug fix I guess according to microsoft is to just 02:54:53.640 --> 02:54:59.320 Annoy their users users have sought a workaround and the chris titus tech utility 02:54:59.800 --> 02:55:04.120 Um has a section that is on his github claiming a workaround 02:55:04.760 --> 02:55:11.960 But it's worth noting that it is part of a larger auto unattended script that disables a ton of other Windows features 02:55:12.600 --> 02:55:22.520 um This is not Chill and it's a good reminder that one should not simply run random scripts from the internet unless they're prepared to deal with the consequences 02:55:22.840 --> 02:55:25.480 You can make your own auto unattended xml file at 02:55:26.040 --> 02:55:30.040 shingans.de But just remember to be careful. Okay 02:55:30.920 --> 02:55:32.920 So here we can bring this up 02:55:33.960 --> 02:55:38.680 Create auto unattended xml files for Windows 10 slash 11 so you can 02:55:40.600 --> 02:55:43.640 Decide on all the different stoofs 02:55:45.000 --> 02:55:48.360 All right The good news is 02:55:48.360 --> 02:55:54.200 Uh, this change is only part of the Windows 11 insider preview build from the dev channel for now 02:55:54.680 --> 02:55:58.680 So non beta versions of the os can still be by bypassed 02:55:59.160 --> 02:56:02.520 But that didn't stop microsoft from screwing up in the public build 02:56:02.760 --> 02:56:07.640 The october update has broken local host a functionality that lets the system act as its own server 02:56:08.200 --> 02:56:11.720 Pretty crucial for web devs or anyone who wants to access stuff on their own network 02:56:12.040 --> 02:56:15.720 The current fix is to roll back to the previous version 02:56:16.840 --> 02:56:24.040 Um, yeah, so I don't think that we need to do a second week in a row of luk going off on microsoft 02:56:24.200 --> 02:56:29.560 It was fun last week, but I think we're just gonna I think we're gonna move on my opinion stands 02:56:29.880 --> 02:56:34.680 I mean I think it stands quite well stronger stands on three legs. Yep 02:56:36.920 --> 02:56:38.920 Microsoft has officially 02:56:42.440 --> 02:56:44.440 You 02:56:47.080 --> 02:56:51.240 I don't know i'm trying to figure out where to go with this do I go with do I go with hard instead of soft 02:56:51.320 --> 02:56:55.000 Do I go with I don't know the point is chat gpt 02:56:56.120 --> 02:57:01.480 Loses its mind if you ask it about a seahorse emoji 02:57:01.880 --> 02:57:05.160 So luke was playing around with this earlier in the show that was when I was like luke 02:57:05.960 --> 02:57:11.080 Can you pay attention to like okay hosting the WAN Show?

We can't get anything. Um, we've lost all our data 03:12:20.540 --> 03:12:25.820 Maybe our business is just not quite as um dependent on our data 03:12:26.700 --> 03:12:30.540 Yeah So it would suck but we could download the videos off youtube 03:12:31.260 --> 03:12:38.140 Yeah And so no one can hold like you know the full plane the the the videography knowledge in 03:12:38.780 --> 03:12:42.620 Andrew and glenn's heads Ransom like it's 03:12:42.620 --> 03:12:49.340 It's not uh, we could rebuild the things needed. Yeah to be clear. This isn't an invitation or a challenge 03:12:49.340 --> 03:12:54.140 It would be no, you know extremely inconvenient. Um, be really annoying. Yeah 03:12:54.780 --> 03:12:57.580 But you have to put yourself in the position of 03:12:57.900 --> 03:13:04.780 Like a really ip heavy company for instance or a bank. Yeah, we're like it's like customer records 03:13:06.700 --> 03:13:09.100 So, you know, how do you know who has how much money? 03:13:10.380 --> 03:13:14.540 I understand The idea 03:13:14.620 --> 03:13:20.060 Behind it where if you can if you can remove the financial incentive for bad actors 03:13:20.940 --> 03:13:23.660 To engage in these ransomware attacks 03:13:24.220 --> 03:13:28.460 Then theoretically you can stamp out ransomware completely or reduce them 03:13:29.580 --> 03:13:34.940 Okay, that's where I was going next with it because not every ransomware attack is necessarily even about the money 03:13:35.020 --> 03:13:38.940 Some of them are also some folks just wants to watch the world burn 03:13:39.340 --> 03:13:43.020 Also, some folks are financially incentivized by competitors 03:13:45.020 --> 03:13:48.860 Let's not pretend that doesn't happen It is a hundred percent of thing 03:13:48.860 --> 03:13:54.780 So then you would know in fact you could even you could even expect that to ramp up 03:13:55.580 --> 03:13:59.260 Because you would know that you're not just dealing a financial blow 03:14:00.860 --> 03:14:03.820 You are potentially dealing a debilitating 03:14:04.540 --> 03:14:10.300 company destroying or the financial blow is doubled because what's the what's the penalty for 03:14:10.620 --> 03:14:16.380 Well, it's always a fine. So it's nobody's going to go to jail for paying ransom ransom and a fine 03:14:16.540 --> 03:14:18.540 So it's even more so 03:14:22.300 --> 03:14:28.300 It's a cool idea, but much like the idea of just legalizing all illicit substances 03:14:29.340 --> 03:14:33.900 You know just making drug trafficking go away in practice 03:14:35.100 --> 03:14:39.900 The world is a lot more complicated and yeah a lot less black and white than that. Yeah 03:14:40.700 --> 03:14:43.420 So I guess it kind of comes back to 03:14:44.300 --> 03:14:51.660 Something we've talked about a fair bit on the WAN Show and that is that if anyone is promising you a silver bullet an easy solution to all of your problems 03:14:53.900 --> 03:14:57.900 You should approach with a high degree of distrust 03:14:59.900 --> 03:15:05.900 Well, anyway, I thought it would I thought we'd have a longer conversation about it. I thought it was an interesting idea 03:15:06.060 --> 03:15:12.140 But yeah, it seems pretty obvious on the face of it that this just isn't really going to solve the problem 03:15:15.180 --> 03:15:20.380 A secure boot bypass threatens 200 000 framework Linux laptops 03:15:21.100 --> 03:15:26.220 The source is bleeping computer via redditor off 732 03:15:27.420 --> 03:15:33.500 Units shipped with signed ufi shell components that could be exploited to bypass secure boot 03:15:33.900 --> 03:15:39.420 protections that's Kind of all there was to this. I just felt like 03:15:40.380 --> 03:15:43.900 Back to luke's conversation earlier about being like the coach's son 03:15:44.940 --> 03:15:49.740 Not necessarily being that great because if anything it throws a little bit of extra scrutiny on you 03:15:50.220 --> 03:15:56.380 Um, I don't know that not all cybersecurity topics necessarily make it to wanshow and this one probably wouldn't have but 03:15:57.020 --> 03:16:02.860 Because i'm invested in framework. This is a good idea to bring up. Um, I felt like this is a good thing for us to point out 03:16:03.820 --> 03:16:07.100 Cato s points out in Floatplane chat already patched by the way 03:16:07.580 --> 03:16:12.860 That's cool. The other thing that I thought was cool was like i've never really given any thought to how many computers 03:16:13.100 --> 03:16:20.460 framework has sold But 200 000 Linux. I was just going to say this still doesn't tell you because it's just the Linux one 03:16:20.460 --> 03:16:25.260 So it's probably yeah considerably more than that like more much more than a doubling out. I would guess 03:16:26.380 --> 03:16:31.900 I don't know how many computers they sell but if they can have 200 000 of anything deployed in the wild that seems 03:16:32.380 --> 03:16:38.380 Like pretty good. Yeah, especially when you see their base prices. Yeah, so it's a lot of revenue at the very least good 03:16:38.780 --> 03:16:41.100 I don't know what they're cost. Good job framework. Let's go 03:16:41.980 --> 03:16:50.220 Good luck with that framework investment disclosure and in other news around mobile devices apple has revealed their m5 chip 03:16:50.780 --> 03:16:57.580 And second generation vision pro. That's right. The vision pro is not abandoned, but let's do the m5 chip first 03:16:58.220 --> 03:17:04.380 Apple boasts it offers improved image and video processing. They're saying it is 15 faster than the m4 03:17:04.860 --> 03:17:09.820 It's 10 core GPU now has four times the m4 chips peak compute 03:17:10.220 --> 03:17:14.220 And it can be found in the new 14 inch macbook pro ipad pro 03:17:14.700 --> 03:17:21.100 And vision pro it seems to be the only real upgrade to each of those things just the new m5 03:17:21.660 --> 03:17:23.980 Chip man apple silicon is like too good 03:17:24.940 --> 03:17:28.300 The number of people I know that have m1 apple silicon and are just 03:17:29.660 --> 03:17:34.700 Super happy with completely happy with it super happy zero desire for a 15 faster 03:17:34.940 --> 03:17:41.180 Whatever 10 core GPU. They don't care at all. That's from that's from m4. I know so it's considerably faster from m1 03:17:41.340 --> 03:17:46.220 But zero cares. It's just so efficient. I think at the end of the day what apple nailed was that 03:17:46.940 --> 03:17:52.620 um people care deeply about the battery life of their mobile devices and 03:17:52.860 --> 03:17:56.940 I was getting trolled hard in arizona 03:17:57.020 --> 03:18:00.620 because I had a Lenovo little lappy toppy 03:18:01.180 --> 03:18:04.860 and luka's and nick the people I was with both had macbooks 03:18:05.500 --> 03:18:07.900 And I was hauling around my freaking charger 03:18:08.540 --> 03:18:11.660 like a chump and they 03:18:11.660 --> 03:18:19.100 bothered Because their laptops were totally fine the whole time and I would I would you know one of them would be like will mines at 03:18:19.580 --> 03:18:23.260 70 battery life and I'd be like will mines at 100 because it's plugged in 03:18:25.340 --> 03:18:30.380 But like I was definitely taking the L the entire weekend nice and it sucked nice 03:18:31.180 --> 03:18:35.420 The latest generation Intel and AMD chips are much better 03:18:35.900 --> 03:18:40.700 Uh lunar lake can never keep track of Intel's codenames. I think it's lunar lake though 03:18:40.780 --> 03:18:45.020 They're their think mines meteor their latest generation is actually 03:18:45.740 --> 03:18:52.780 Really efficient. Yeah, and like really good like I was pretty blown away at how well the uh MSI claw 03:18:53.100 --> 03:18:58.620 ai8 plus or whatever the names dude handheld like oh stop just call it the 03:18:59.260 --> 03:19:03.820 Call it the death bringer or something call it something memorable for crying out loud anyway 03:19:05.020 --> 03:19:11.740 I I don't know man. It doesn't matter the point is just call it anything other than MSI claw the MSI death 03:19:12.380 --> 03:19:20.140 ai8 plus Ew dude remember skull trail. Yeah, that was cool. It was so sick and we still remember it 03:19:20.220 --> 03:19:26.140 It was so sick 15 years from now. Are we gonna remember the logo is so MSI ai 03:19:27.100 --> 03:19:30.380 Now I'm even I'm not even sure if I can remember it now 03:19:31.900 --> 03:19:37.340 But anyway that uh their handheld held up really well in comparisons with the uh the new xbox 03:19:37.820 --> 03:19:40.940 Yeah, okay, so rog xbox ally x 03:19:41.900 --> 03:19:49.420 Uh look at these logos dude. Look at that. Oh my goodness. So cool. Oh my goodness 03:19:50.540 --> 03:19:58.940 Oh my oh my goodness isn't gonna work. Whatever. I totally did actually there so cool apparently that was very 03:19:59.660 --> 03:20:04.060 Challenging politically I'm sure it was but it was so sick at a company like Intel 03:20:05.020 --> 03:20:13.500 Oh, it was cool. Yeah Um, anyway, so good luck apple with the m5 uh also new vision pro 03:20:14.060 --> 03:20:17.500 It's got the same 35 hundred dollar price tag as the first gen 03:20:17.900 --> 03:20:22.060 It replaces the m2 chip from the first gen with a new m5 03:20:22.540 --> 03:20:26.780 Uh, so you get better memory bandwidth 153 gigabytes per second up from 100 03:20:27.100 --> 03:20:32.300 It now has a 120 hertz capable display the m2 topped out at 100 hertz 03:20:32.780 --> 03:20:35.420 It gets 30 minutes of additional claimed battery life 03:20:36.380 --> 03:20:40.140 It's 100 to 150 grams heavier 03:20:40.540 --> 03:20:44.300 That's actually really surprising. Is that just because of the woven strap being 03:20:45.020 --> 03:20:53.740 Like two weaves now. Does anyone actually know this? No idea. How could they possibly think making the vision pro heavier is the solution? 03:20:54.940 --> 03:20:56.940 Someone anyone chat 03:20:58.380 --> 03:21:02.380 No idea No trade-ins apparently wow 03:21:06.300 --> 03:21:09.900 No trade-in which is insane. I mean is it insane? 03:21:10.460 --> 03:21:16.300 They added weights to the back of the new strap to balance it out. That's interesting 03:21:17.100 --> 03:21:21.820 Interesting. That's very interesting Okay 03:21:21.820 --> 03:21:29.820 Man the bigger issue for me was just the way it sat right on the bridge of my nose. Oh, yeah, really painful. Yeah, maybe they're trying to reduce that 03:21:29.820 --> 03:21:34.780 Yeah, maybe Apparently I might be doing the ShortCircuit for that 03:21:35.900 --> 03:21:37.900 Oh, really a bit of a wild choice 03:21:39.340 --> 03:21:44.300 Yeah, I'm not I kind of make sense use the vision pro once for like 20 minutes on windshow. Yeah, but you like vr 03:21:45.180 --> 03:21:52.940 Yeah, the last one I used was an index Yeah, I mean that's a good vr headset. You you have your beyond now, right? I right 03:21:54.220 --> 03:22:01.660 It has never turned on Right, it's literally sitting at my desk. Yeah, it has not gone to my hat. Why would it it would just be in danger 03:22:02.540 --> 03:22:06.620 Yeah His house is torn apart if you're tuning in a little bit late. Yeah 03:22:07.660 --> 03:22:09.980 Oh, the but I will do it justice. I will do well 03:22:10.700 --> 03:22:14.700 The Bose sound touch app will not be touching anyone 03:22:15.420 --> 03:22:20.700 Ever again this section of the show is written by adam the sex machine saundegard. Okay 03:22:22.620 --> 03:22:26.300 Sorry, that's in the that's in the note. We have to it's in the notes. We have to read the notes adam 03:22:26.620 --> 03:22:31.180 It was apparently feeling a little spicy when he was typing up the notes for this one 03:22:32.140 --> 03:22:36.140 I heard you like your smart speakers. It would be a shame if we stopped supporting them 03:22:36.860 --> 03:22:39.420 Don bows probably he writes 03:22:40.220 --> 03:22:46.300 On february 18th 2026 the day after the sexiest LTT writer turns 31 03:22:49.260 --> 03:22:53.740 Bose will discontinue cloud support for all sound touch products 03:22:54.380 --> 03:22:59.020 This means that access to integrated services like spotify or tune in won't work 03:22:59.580 --> 03:23:05.420 To add insult to injury all app functionality will be discontinued. That means no eq 03:23:05.980 --> 03:23:10.060 No changing audio presets No multi room playback 03:23:10.620 --> 03:23:17.180 So if you spent thousands of dollars on your bows smart speakers. Well, hey, don't worry about that 03:23:17.820 --> 03:23:21.660 They can still play music via bluetooth aux and HDMI 03:23:22.620 --> 03:23:26.780 Which is perhaps truly the smartest way to connect to speakers 03:23:27.740 --> 03:23:36.220 Bose has not announced any plans to provide local only control via the app or any path for users to maintain the smartness of 03:23:36.540 --> 03:23:40.700 their speakers Wow 03:23:40.700 --> 03:23:43.260 I don't think there's really much to discuss here other than 03:23:44.380 --> 03:23:48.940 Go fuck yourself bows. This is not cool. You need to fix this 03:23:49.580 --> 03:23:52.860 You need to just open source it 03:23:52.860 --> 03:23:59.820 because this is not Acceptable not gonna lie. I wasn't particularly interested in it, but I can fully confirm 03:23:59.900 --> 03:24:04.300 I will not be buying bows anytime soon because of this 03:24:04.300 --> 03:24:06.780 That's just trash hate it gross 03:24:07.420 --> 03:24:09.820 Like if you gave a full refund no problem 03:24:10.780 --> 03:24:17.820 But you're not you're not there's no way you were selling stuff as recently as just very recently and now you're just 03:24:19.580 --> 03:24:22.620 Not gonna have it do the things that you said it would do 03:24:23.580 --> 03:24:25.580 Unbelievable 03:24:29.420 --> 03:24:34.220 Uh, I think it's time for an unbelievable transition to after dark 03:24:36.220 --> 03:24:47.180 Oh, wait, no, there's one more quick thing As of this week, there's an official LTT skin for occt the overclocking and stability testing tool as part of their official v15 release 03:24:47.340 --> 03:24:52.140 Really?

This was a a post on our subreddit 03:26:39.100 --> 03:26:43.260 um I don't know how real this is 03:26:44.620 --> 03:26:48.300 Oh, you don't want one drive scanning your face. You can opt out but only three times a year 03:26:48.380 --> 03:26:50.620 I don't I don't know how real this is. I have not 03:26:51.420 --> 03:26:55.820 Actually checked this. Um, but what the heck man? 03:26:57.580 --> 03:27:02.620 Uh, I wanted to see if this is posted anywhere else. I want to know if this is actually real or not 03:27:04.220 --> 03:27:06.620 Can someone try this can someone check? 03:27:07.420 --> 03:27:13.100 Um, so it's in the it's in the features section of some settings page for one drive 03:27:14.540 --> 03:27:18.220 I don't have one drive. I don't do the one drivey thing 03:27:18.300 --> 03:27:21.900 I rip it out of every computer I touch. Yeah, like immediately 03:27:22.140 --> 03:27:28.460 So I don't know but if any of you have one drive or use one drive. Could you check this? I would like to see 03:27:29.580 --> 03:27:33.740 Um, it it seems so insane that it doesn't seem real 03:27:34.220 --> 03:27:36.860 This isn't rolled out production. It's a test feature 03:27:37.820 --> 03:27:41.020 Okay so real 03:27:41.740 --> 03:27:47.500 well Maybe the three times a year thing goes away when it's not a test feature anymore. I don't know 03:27:48.220 --> 03:27:55.980 Who knows There's something even worse from facebook says handyman facebook's ai can now suggest edits to the photo is still on your phone 03:27:56.860 --> 03:27:58.860 Oh 03:28:00.460 --> 03:28:07.100 Dude everything's got to get more and more local man. It's it's crazy. I I'm like with that boast topic that we just had 03:28:07.260 --> 03:28:14.060 I am not interested in buying smart connected things if they connect to a unique app anymore 03:28:14.380 --> 03:28:17.740 Like ever i'm just not going to do it if I can't connect it to 03:28:18.300 --> 03:28:22.380 A home assistant type thing or if it isn't just open and potentially, you know 03:28:23.260 --> 03:28:25.660 Wirable by by anyone at any time 03:28:26.380 --> 03:28:30.380 That's acceptable like if they didn't build the connection to home assistant if they didn't build the thing 03:28:30.540 --> 03:28:33.740 But it's open so you could do it yourself. That's fine. I'll go with that 03:28:34.460 --> 03:28:38.220 Actually love that. I'm not gonna say that's fine. That's great. It's cool. Sounds good 03:28:39.100 --> 03:28:44.460 But if it has to go into some proprietary app not interested don't care don't want it won't buy it 03:28:45.500 --> 03:28:50.860 and That feels the same for this type of stuff like get out of my data 03:28:51.180 --> 03:28:54.220 I am I am uninterested. I don't want you snooping my phone 03:28:54.460 --> 03:28:59.660 I know we give perms to these apps so that we can like upload photos to them and stuff gross 03:29:00.860 --> 03:29:03.980 Rip it off my phone. I'll find a way. Um 03:29:06.140 --> 03:29:08.940 Yucky don't like it. Don't like it the future is 03:29:09.740 --> 03:29:12.540 Oddly enough the past the future is 03:29:13.100 --> 03:29:16.860 Uh, not cloud the future is storing your own things or making your own cloud 03:29:17.180 --> 03:29:20.860 You know, there's a lot of options for that make your own someone else's computer 03:29:21.260 --> 03:29:24.780 Yeah, there's actually a bunch of very good options for that these days 03:29:24.780 --> 03:29:29.740 I don't remember the names of them off top of my head, but with a simple google search. I'm sure you'll find a few 03:29:30.140 --> 03:29:35.820 Um, you can make effectively your own like google like experience google drive like experience 03:29:36.220 --> 03:29:40.300 Um for you for your family, uh friends, maybe potentially included 03:29:40.940 --> 03:29:46.380 There's a lot of options someone said hexos plug. That's not even what i'm talking about to be completely honest 03:29:46.860 --> 03:29:53.100 Um, I I think kind of but I mean I would want the local UI that's they've they've promised that they're doing it 03:29:53.260 --> 03:29:58.620 Do you know if it's out? No, no, i'm a true nes scale guy. Yeah, so you have no idea. I don't know either 03:29:58.700 --> 03:30:02.860 Um, but i'm not interested in that until it has completely local features 03:30:03.340 --> 03:30:08.860 Um And even then just for just for wanting to learn the tinkering reasons. I'd very likely go 03:30:08.940 --> 03:30:13.980 That's why I've noticed because it's what we run here and I wanted to delete data in a safe environment 03:30:14.300 --> 03:30:17.340 And now I can't uh because it's full 03:30:18.380 --> 03:30:21.020 So now I get to have the fun of drive replacement 03:30:22.300 --> 03:30:29.420 Yeah Yeah, and I do my cloud backups people said embrace your ai overlords or you'll be uh torched in the future 03:30:29.580 --> 03:30:33.260 It's like yeah, but you can you can run that locally, right? Yeah, we said there are ours 03:30:33.740 --> 03:30:38.620 Yeah, there are our robots to control those are free. Those are open source. Those can be ours as well 03:30:38.700 --> 03:30:43.260 So like thousands now screw it. I don't need your I don't need your junk. I mean on that same vein 03:30:43.980 --> 03:30:51.260 Ldi I have used cloud code yet most of youtube seems to be sleeping on it still but it is truly next level 03:30:51.740 --> 03:31:00.220 My spaces aren't It's what you make of it and I've made it everything which ai has been promised to me 03:31:00.940 --> 03:31:04.940 Yeah, like I think that was one of the most interesting parts of of I mean, it's not out yet 03:31:05.100 --> 03:31:13.340 But just hearing Linus talk about it Um with Linus's ai coding thing was that he did what most users would do and just use chat gpt 03:31:13.500 --> 03:31:18.860 Oh, so I couldn't anymore. It was awful. There are better systems for it. Yes. Are you using those now? 03:31:19.740 --> 03:31:23.340 Well, I haven't really had to do any more vibe coding. Okay. Yeah, so yeah 03:31:23.740 --> 03:31:27.980 And I'm not realistically going to use the vibe coding probably that I did 03:31:28.460 --> 03:31:32.540 I haven't seen it yet, but we'll see jordan told me that the real one is way better 03:31:33.660 --> 03:31:37.820 So I didn't play around with yours enough and the time gap between them was pretty big, but 03:31:39.740 --> 03:31:46.060 I mean I fully expected that to happen But I think the conclusion of the video is going to be really interesting 03:31:46.460 --> 03:31:52.940 Yeah, because there's make something and there was a value to it because in the time that I've waited around for a real human 03:31:52.940 --> 03:31:58.060 To do the work. I've been using it. It's been done for a while. Still I was using it before it was done 03:31:58.140 --> 03:32:03.180 That's true. And the other thing is that it allowed me to find issues 03:32:03.980 --> 03:32:06.380 With the system implemented with real humans 03:32:07.180 --> 03:32:10.780 Using it and workflows and everything integrated into the business 03:32:11.500 --> 03:32:16.220 That would have made it easier for me to put together a design document for a lot of people 03:32:16.620 --> 03:32:20.460 Really struggle with like developer design dogs. Oh, dude. Yeah 03:32:20.460 --> 03:32:24.540 So if you can start playing around and inform yourself a little bit and then ask 03:32:25.660 --> 03:32:31.260 Because I don't know what I don't know and you can't predict everything about a workflow in a business environment 03:32:31.660 --> 03:32:34.300 Yeah, and so having something where we go. Okay 03:32:35.500 --> 03:32:39.580 We are running this now Here it is 03:32:39.580 --> 03:32:42.140 It's garbage. I assume you're going to throw it all away 03:32:42.620 --> 03:32:48.940 But here are the functionalities that it has that are good. I like this. I don't like this and here are the functionalities it needs 03:32:49.900 --> 03:32:54.540 That's such a valid use case even the don't likes though like telling someone what 03:32:55.260 --> 03:33:02.300 The thing they should make should not be is actually quite valuable. Great. Yeah. Yeah 100 percent. Yeah 03:33:03.260 --> 03:33:09.740 Yeah Going into clarna debt for this shirt, but it's okay because I'm about to win big on the lottery 03:33:10.780 --> 03:33:13.420 Slash as slash as such as Linus 03:33:13.980 --> 03:33:20.060 Now that jellyfin is officially on hexo s. Have you gotten a chance to check it out? Not yet 03:33:20.780 --> 03:33:23.180 Matter of time. I really want to do it 03:33:24.060 --> 03:33:27.980 But not yet Hey 03:33:27.980 --> 03:33:31.900 LL and D Linus you have lots of tools and machines for LTT 03:33:32.860 --> 03:33:36.700 But what's one that you can't justify today, but hope to someday 03:33:37.820 --> 03:33:44.860 Oh, um Oh, dude, I want one of those. Uh, I want one of those like ink based 03:33:45.340 --> 03:33:50.940 3d printer magigs that can make like full color anything you could possibly want. Oh, yeah 03:33:51.740 --> 03:33:56.300 Seb and Tyne and I saw one that Joel was looking at too. So cool 03:33:56.940 --> 03:34:02.460 Amazing, aren't they so cool. They're getting cheap like you can make. Yeah. Well, like that's the thing 03:34:02.620 --> 03:34:07.340 That's the thing about anything that isn't a GPU and technology is it does have a tendency to 03:34:07.900 --> 03:34:13.340 Get cheaper over time, which is so cool. Would you want a uv printer? Are you talking more about the full color 3d printers? 03:34:13.820 --> 03:34:18.780 Uh, I think I'm talking about the uv printer whatever whatever. Oh man, I forget 03:34:18.860 --> 03:34:22.860 They're the ones that can print on to like metal and stuff. Okay, those are super cool, too 03:34:22.860 --> 03:34:29.180 That's a uv printer, but I think you're talking about uh, a full color 3d printer. Yes, that's the one. Yeah, those are really kind of insane 03:34:29.580 --> 03:34:33.420 honestly and they can even do um like clears 03:34:34.220 --> 03:34:42.300 and uh They showed off Or I should say Joel 3d printing in order to show it off a you know, the original aliens one of the eggs 03:34:43.260 --> 03:34:46.060 The little egg sack things that's so cool and it had like 03:34:46.780 --> 03:34:51.580 Goop and slime that was clear on the outside of it like it was coated in stuff and it's like multi 03:34:52.300 --> 03:34:55.420 um Just incredible incredible 03:34:56.060 --> 03:35:00.380 So cool and luke would have you not been able to get Linus to buy? 03:35:04.220 --> 03:35:10.060 It hasn't really often been an issue to be completely honest luke knows how to make the business case for a thing 03:35:10.620 --> 03:35:14.540 I just don't think i'm that hard to convince when there's a shiny new toy to the 03:35:15.260 --> 03:35:21.420 I mean Maybe to a fault. Well, do I have a collab to suggest with you? I'm just thinking like honestly 03:35:22.060 --> 03:35:24.060 After a while, I sort of stopped asking 03:35:25.420 --> 03:35:29.180 Oh, there was a there was a Floatplane back when we used to have the Floatplane meetings 03:35:29.660 --> 03:35:35.980 There was a Floatplane meeting where I asked your like, I don't know approval permission whatever to like buy some servers 03:35:36.780 --> 03:35:39.900 And you basically gave me a like why are you asking me this? 03:35:42.700 --> 03:35:48.700 Sorry, sorry, sorry I don't usually mind but I was like a lot and right next to my eye 03:35:52.460 --> 03:35:56.700 And from then on I couldn't remember what I said you completely blindsided me with that 03:35:56.860 --> 03:36:01.740 I don't remember the exact wording, but it was something along those lines of just like like what do you even mean? 03:36:02.300 --> 03:36:07.340 like what Have you done the work to like validate that this makes sense and i'm like, yeah, and you're like 03:36:08.860 --> 03:36:11.180 Then do it. I'm just like, okay 03:36:14.300 --> 03:36:24.220 So after a while, I just stopped asking Um, yeah, I don't know and the answer is usually we're spending about the same amount or maybe less and we're getting more 03:36:24.620 --> 03:36:29.100 So, yeah Yeah, so so that 03:36:29.740 --> 03:36:37.580 So then why have you waited so long? Yeah, so so after a while it was just like, okay, we'll just operate. Um, yeah, okay 03:36:38.780 --> 03:36:44.540 And then for the lab usually it's been like, okay, but why isn't there 12 of them instead of four? 03:36:45.260 --> 03:36:49.100 Um, so it's like, yeah, I don't know it's uh, dude, it's driven me crazy 03:36:49.260 --> 03:36:56.220 How long it's taken for us to spend money and buy things for the lab like we're finally building the display testing slash 03:36:56.700 --> 03:37:01.580 Like theater room so that every time a new big display comes in I don't have to install it at my house 03:37:01.980 --> 03:37:08.700 I I know it's like fun and everything Linus and plew for Linus and adam dragging giant tv's across his basement 03:37:09.100 --> 03:37:14.220 But we actually like when we shoot at my house, we tear everything apart. I don't actually prefer it 03:37:14.700 --> 03:37:19.660 um And so yeah, we're gonna have like a like a nice like home theater room 03:37:20.140 --> 03:37:25.180 Here at the office that can also be used as a light controlled space for display testing more generally 03:37:25.180 --> 03:37:29.500 I'm very excited for it. The lab's is getting some structures, man. We're we've just hijacked 03:37:30.540 --> 03:37:35.740 Exactly basically as they were left um, you know some furniture and stuff left and I think the 03:37:36.460 --> 03:37:40.060 The tv that you had and stuff, but like the scrapper for sets 03:37:40.620 --> 03:37:45.980 We're just using them. I know I saw that I saw that mine is being used as the display testing room right now 03:37:46.540 --> 03:37:50.540 Mine is being used as the overflow display testing room mostly for like phones 03:37:50.860 --> 03:37:54.140 Yeah, and then we'll also be used for some I don't remember the exact name of it 03:37:54.220 --> 03:38:00.300 But something and it's not being used for that yet But dms wants to use it for like a a reflection chamber or something 03:38:00.620 --> 03:38:06.380 So he wants to put like cinder blocks and other things around the walls and something something and then we'll still use it 03:38:06.780 --> 03:38:11.180 For the phone display testing bubble blasts. We're we're using all of that basically 03:38:11.740 --> 03:38:17.100 Uh, and then the home theater room's coming in and it's okay. You put up a bunch of walls and we were just like, yeah, yes 03:38:18.060 --> 03:38:23.340 Well, yeah, we will move in it was never it drives me crazy because it was never a budgetary constraint 03:38:23.580 --> 03:38:27.020 We just no couldn't get things done. Yeah. Well, it's yeah 03:38:27.900 --> 03:38:32.380 It's uh It's a big task. We got this we got this it's gonna take time 03:38:33.100 --> 03:38:37.500 Um, but we're we're we're cooking. Yeah, we're we're cooking slowly cooking. Yeah 03:38:38.140 --> 03:38:41.740 Slow cooking. But yeah, if anyone's wondering what happened at the scrapper at worst set, um 03:38:42.460 --> 03:38:44.700 Immediately deployed. Yeah, we're using them for stuff 03:38:45.660 --> 03:38:48.780 We kind of needed some box rooms 03:38:49.500 --> 03:38:53.260 I don't know if I told you this but I stole the uh, my audio setup 03:38:53.900 --> 03:38:59.740 For my team for well, yeah, I mean sure. No, no, I was I helped you get out of the building. Oh, yeah, right. Yeah, cool. Good chat 03:39:01.500 --> 03:39:07.100 Hello sinus luke and ban sinus in my new house. I'm building a land center like yours 03:39:07.340 --> 03:39:12.700 Nice, is it worth running dedicated networking to each system or just a single line to the area and then a switch 03:39:13.180 --> 03:39:16.780 Oh, well, oh depends how far it is if it's not very far 03:39:17.420 --> 03:39:24.700 Then running two Ethernet cables is basically the same amount of work as running one Ethernet cable 03:39:25.420 --> 03:39:30.860 Um, there can be constraints like if you have a conduit for instance and only so many cables will fit in it 03:39:30.940 --> 03:39:36.460 Then maybe don't do that Um, in terms of is it worth it? 03:39:37.340 --> 03:39:41.740 Man, probably not like if you had a 2.5 gig or 03:39:42.540 --> 03:39:47.180 I mean even better a 10 gig uplink to a switch in your land room 03:39:48.060 --> 03:39:51.260 You're good for a very very very long time 03:39:51.900 --> 03:39:58.540 um I Unless I was going for 100 completion. I wouldn't bother. I would just run a switch 03:40:02.700 --> 03:40:09.580 Usually been my answer Linus a while back. You said you are going to daily drive a fold phone again 03:40:09.900 --> 03:40:14.140 Is that no longer the case? That is the case. There's a fold seven sitting on my dresser at home 03:40:14.700 --> 03:40:19.740 Uh, it's just such a hassle to change phones. I haven't even finished moving over to the iphone air 03:40:19.740 --> 03:40:23.340 I've pretty much completed all my notes on the airpods pro 3s 03:40:23.740 --> 03:40:29.660 Which I took possession of on the same day that I got the iphone air and I haven't fully migrated to the air yet 03:40:32.620 --> 03:40:35.500 Hey dll my co-worker was telling me about back in the day 03:40:35.980 --> 03:40:42.380 How he used to tape pins on his CPU to get more performance. Have you ever done this and how does it work? 03:40:42.700 --> 03:40:49.340 The best I've ever done was like a graphite pencil mod where you could change the the resistance 03:40:49.900 --> 03:40:58.060 um by penciling a certain amount of uh like an artist pencil between a couple of contact points and um 03:41:00.620 --> 03:41:02.940 That yeah, that's that's the closest I've gotten 03:41:03.740 --> 03:41:07.020 Hey duke king and jester 03:41:07.660 --> 03:41:11.020 How do you ensure you're not going to grand on a project? 03:41:11.100 --> 03:41:16.060 I have a tendency to invest too much on a single project and want to know how you deal with it 03:41:16.460 --> 03:41:23.100 Thanks dash port add is my superpower. I uh, I get bored and move on 03:41:23.580 --> 03:41:30.300 From things before they become too much of a resource sink for the most part. There are some notable exceptions. Um 03:41:31.260 --> 03:41:38.860 LTT Labs Let's go let's go with that. I but that's like on principle that I'm sticking with it 03:41:38.860 --> 03:41:41.740 I think it's a really important thing and I think we haven't 03:41:42.700 --> 03:41:49.660 Delivered on the vision yet Um, so we so it's one of those things where if you do something halfway and then it fails 03:41:49.980 --> 03:41:54.140 well That wasn't a failure in the idea that was a failure in the execution 03:41:54.700 --> 03:41:58.140 And so until we've actually executed on the idea of it 03:41:58.220 --> 03:42:04.860 I can't say for sure if it's a good idea or not gilson your problem. Um, so I've that one we're going to stick with but 03:42:05.660 --> 03:42:12.780 Everything else I think is mostly gated by just sort of how much attention span we collectively have for it internally and we're busy people 03:42:12.860 --> 03:42:18.380 so it can be um Very easy for things to get backburnered and then if they get backburnered 03:42:18.460 --> 03:42:20.940 They must not have been that important and we move on and we do something else 03:42:21.900 --> 03:42:31.740 Hey lld I was wondering if any of you frequented dial up bbs's back in the day blackboard message servers. I think is the 03:42:32.860 --> 03:42:37.580 Blackboard message system. No, no, no, I would I am I am 39 03:42:38.380 --> 03:42:44.860 So I was pretty young during the bulletin bulletin days bulletin.

It was so good 03:48:20.300 --> 03:48:23.260 It's a no one instrument because it's like a piano not the puano 03:48:23.420 --> 03:48:26.620 It's like multi faceted too. No, it's not 03:48:27.500 --> 03:48:32.220 It's very it's very deep. It requires a high iq to understand. No, it doesn't 03:48:33.260 --> 03:48:37.420 No, it doesn't it does for sure. Oh man, dude, it's great 03:48:37.820 --> 03:48:42.620 Um, I I think people were I think people didn't see it coming though because there is 03:48:43.900 --> 03:48:50.540 There is probably a solid argument for the piano being the number one instrument number one instrument because it's it's so 03:48:50.780 --> 03:48:54.380 technical it's the it's versatility is so great 03:48:54.940 --> 03:48:57.260 Um, it's it's an incredible 03:48:57.980 --> 03:49:02.540 musical instrument Um, and so people are kind of it gets it 03:49:03.980 --> 03:49:05.980 The the best setups 03:49:07.020 --> 03:49:12.220 Misdirect the listener. Yeah As I said, it's completely as possible 03:49:12.940 --> 03:49:20.460 Um, right requires extreme iq so we've got everybody sit everybody in the room is thinking about all the technical reasons that appear 03:49:20.540 --> 03:49:24.220 Piano might be considered the most superior of all musical instruments 03:49:24.220 --> 03:49:28.460 And then you hit them with a peepee poo poo joke literally watching the episode. I was like 03:49:29.100 --> 03:49:38.700 I think it I mean, I think it is The number one instrument and then and then you drop that because it's a piano not a puano and I just lost 03:49:39.740 --> 03:49:44.220 Lost it dude I I I think it's 03:49:45.020 --> 03:49:50.460 Contender for goat pun. No, I actually I think that I think the underwear today was a superior 03:49:50.700 --> 03:49:55.740 Set up and delivery. You just didn't get it because it was a much higher IQ joke 03:49:57.100 --> 03:50:01.580 I think those are better. I don't I mean, they're a different class. I don't think the boulder rock one was better 03:50:02.220 --> 03:50:06.860 It's a different class because it kind of goes here's our boulder designs. They rock come on 03:50:07.740 --> 03:50:11.900 Okay, that's more of a pure pun. The other one was more of like a just set up punch line 03:50:11.900 --> 03:50:15.580 I don't I don't I don't actually I hate that pun has become the word to mean 03:50:16.300 --> 03:50:20.460 Anything that is a joke word play. Yeah, we're well puns are word play 03:50:20.940 --> 03:50:24.940 But now anything that's a joke is a pun No 03:50:24.940 --> 03:50:28.060 The way people use no way dude. They use it like scam 03:50:28.620 --> 03:50:33.340 Like anything that's a bad deal is a scam even if it was exactly as advertised like just a scam 03:50:33.660 --> 03:50:37.500 It's like no no no scam means a specific thing scam means misled 03:50:37.660 --> 03:50:43.180 How does like word like amelia bedelia?

These things draw 03:58:29.020 --> 03:58:32.540 Mundo power and then maybe more importantly, they're not actually 03:58:33.420 --> 03:58:37.660 necessarily better than the 115 inch that I have now in terms of performance 03:58:38.220 --> 03:58:41.340 And a big part of the reason for that is that they don't crank as bright 03:58:42.940 --> 03:58:50.780 Surprising amount of reviews. Yeah, no bad performance low price only 3000 hertz. What what what what? Yes, I recommend this product like clearly people are just 03:58:51.740 --> 03:58:56.540 controlling A bit big for a single bedroom apartment 03:58:57.100 --> 03:59:02.060 Three stars like I would just ignore it fake.

Yeah Like I'm I'm I'm much more easy going now, but okay. I feel like in some ways. I was high strung because of you though 04:06:02.940 --> 04:06:04.940 so 04:06:07.900 --> 04:06:10.300 All right, I think that's probably enough for this for now 04:06:12.060 --> 04:06:15.980 Okay, all right.

Thank you. Actually a lot of people have been using the gift cards 04:06:37.660 --> 04:06:45.820 Appreciate that They thought they would save them but they can't help themselves as requested making good use of the gift card before the holiday season 04:06:46.060 --> 04:06:48.460 And you've all have halloween outfits planned 04:06:49.180 --> 04:06:51.980 No, um, I haven't had a halloween outfit 04:06:52.620 --> 04:06:58.300 since Uh, we had the house the house was our office and I scared people on the porch 04:06:58.700 --> 04:07:03.820 Well, people are so upset. They're like don't call your wife a horse. What do you think a ho is short for? 04:07:04.300 --> 04:07:06.300 Oh my god. No, it's 04:07:07.660 --> 04:07:13.660 And let me misdirect him you missed it get a misdirection. When did you know it's an expression from the horse's mouth? 04:07:13.740 --> 04:07:17.340 Like it just means from the source. Oh, yeah, I wouldn't have yeah. No, I know I know 04:07:18.620 --> 04:07:21.340 That's not a ding that wasn't a pun. No, it was a joke 04:07:21.980 --> 04:07:24.700 Dings are not for puns they're for dad jokes. Exactly 04:07:25.660 --> 04:07:31.740 Oh Yeah, oh dude, I'm in such rough shape. I did a um 04:07:32.700 --> 04:07:41.500 the My son's taekwondo school like no disrespect to taekwondo, but it's not like a serious fighting martial art for the most part 04:07:42.060 --> 04:07:50.860 um But I still wanted the kids to like learn martial arts. It's good for you know, discipline and good to learn to stick with something until you 04:07:51.180 --> 04:07:56.060 You know get your black belt. It's good socially. It's good. It's good for lots of things 04:07:56.060 --> 04:08:06.780 It's good for getting you out of your shell a little bit My kids can tend to be a little bit shy sometimes and I think you know forcing them to you know, shout and and practice sparring 04:08:07.020 --> 04:08:10.620 Just there's a lot of things that I think it can be really helpful for developmentally 04:08:10.620 --> 04:08:15.340 I'm not saying it's for everyone, but I'm saying it's something that I believed in so all my kids have had to do taekwondo 04:08:16.060 --> 04:08:22.780 Anyway, the point is that the instructor Before this particular organization converted to taekwondo 04:08:23.660 --> 04:08:30.460 Used to train under something under the same, you know master or whatever, but it used to be called 04:08:31.820 --> 04:08:35.740 Something combat something and it was like very street brawler 04:08:36.460 --> 04:08:41.180 how to break bones and And get away kind of 04:08:41.180 --> 04:08:46.780 And so I had actually asked him because my son's been losing a little bit of interest with the the taekwondo side of things 04:08:47.180 --> 04:08:52.220 And so I asked the instructor. I was like, hey, do you want to do like some privates with us and do some more like 04:08:52.940 --> 04:08:58.860 some more like grappling some more submissions some more like like more 04:08:59.900 --> 04:09:05.420 Stuff you don't teach the kids like, you know neck takedowns and and stuff like that and he's like 04:09:06.060 --> 04:09:08.060 I'd love to 04:09:09.420 --> 04:09:14.780 You know, he's a super cool guy. Anyway, the point is that I had a I had a session with him 04:09:15.580 --> 04:09:19.660 on Wednesday, no, no 04:09:20.140 --> 04:09:24.060 Oh, what was it? Wednesday, yeah, I had no 04:09:24.380 --> 04:09:27.580 What what day are things? Yeah, I had a session with him on Wednesday night 04:09:28.220 --> 04:09:36.540 Um, right after work So I had a long day at work and then my son and I went and did like like a bunch of like neck takedowns 04:09:37.100 --> 04:09:44.140 chokeholds neck submissions chokehold counters and like basically a bunch of stuff and so Thursday 04:09:44.620 --> 04:09:48.940 I had a long drive to an AMD ultimate tech upgrade long day 04:09:49.420 --> 04:09:55.740 AMD ultimate tech upgrade and then oh, sorry. No first Wednesday after after the training 04:09:56.140 --> 04:10:02.060 I went and I had badminton training for two hours. So just like multi feeds if you guys are wondering what that looks like 04:10:02.620 --> 04:10:07.100 um, basically You can check out the badminton insight channel 04:10:08.780 --> 04:10:14.780 Oh We did a collab with them where they had me trained like a pro for a day 04:10:15.260 --> 04:10:19.500 Um, it's pretty brutal. But basically this is not was not me 04:10:20.140 --> 04:10:23.900 I'm in I'm in all black here and I mostly looked like that but 04:10:24.940 --> 04:10:31.020 You you go pretty hard So you you basically are just running getting stuff sometimes missing them 04:10:31.420 --> 04:10:35.740 The point is it's pretty tough and then yesterday I had ladder. So I had competitive ladder 04:10:36.220 --> 04:10:38.620 I am like I'm dying. My body is dead 04:10:39.580 --> 04:10:43.580 This is the ghost of me. It's my halloween costume. It's pretty good. Yeah 04:10:44.860 --> 04:10:50.060 Um, like I could barely shoulder check in my car on thursday and then I had to go play ladder that night 04:10:50.460 --> 04:10:55.180 It was not I do I lost five out of my six games. I dropped like a hundred elo points 04:10:55.580 --> 04:10:59.580 I'm so upset like actually very upset. I should have just not even played 04:11:00.380 --> 04:11:09.980 Yeah, probably not Linus, what difficulty do you recommend for ano 1800? I am still struggling with outpacing expert ai of the show 04:11:10.060 --> 04:11:14.220 Whatever you enjoy ano is fun if you're not having fun 04:11:14.220 --> 04:11:18.060 just Turn it down. It's fine. The high difficulty ai also 04:11:18.780 --> 04:11:25.900 Extremely cheats. Yeah, that's something that's always been a problem for ano games like even going back to the very first one 04:11:26.620 --> 04:11:30.860 Which had exhaustible iron mines and every map would only have like a couple iron mines 04:11:30.860 --> 04:11:36.220 So your your ability to acquire iron was like extremely limited 04:11:36.700 --> 04:11:41.820 Um, it's kind of like like warcraft 2 and gold mines like there's just there's no friggin gold on the map 04:11:42.700 --> 04:11:47.020 Nah, that wasn't that big of a problem in warcraft 2 much worse much worse than gold in warcraft 2 04:11:47.020 --> 04:11:49.580 But you've got this finite resource compared to 04:11:50.460 --> 04:11:55.180 something like supreme commander where the resources are are infinite 04:11:55.500 --> 04:12:00.460 And it's just a question of like how you manage your economy So you've got this like finite iron resource 04:12:00.780 --> 04:12:04.540 The biggest problem that I noticed was they wouldn't have access to a certain resource 04:12:04.780 --> 04:12:09.020 That would allow them to build the thing yet would just have it and there was explanations 04:12:09.100 --> 04:12:11.980 Like maybe they got it through trading but then even if you like 04:12:12.780 --> 04:12:16.220 laser watched their base like No 04:12:16.220 --> 04:12:20.140 Yeah, so so they would just so all the iron on the map would be exhausted 04:12:20.780 --> 04:12:24.300 But they would like still be able to build stuff with iron and it's just like come on 04:12:25.260 --> 04:12:32.140 I don't like that Yeah, so I don't I don't love those forms of difficulty. Yeah, but I mean realistically ano can be enjoyed in any way 04:12:32.220 --> 04:12:38.620 You can play against the eyes Against people you can just spawn a new world and just build. It's it's a great game 04:12:40.860 --> 04:12:45.660 No, oh, yep, sorry a ton of people that play on the minimum difficulty. I think they call it beauty building 04:12:47.020 --> 04:12:49.020 No, uh, what's it called? 04:12:50.380 --> 04:12:52.780 Shoot it has a name tiny glade 04:12:53.740 --> 04:12:59.340 What I don't know. That's just that's a game where you build pretty. Oh got it just okay. Oh, um 04:13:00.140 --> 04:13:02.140 Man, why can I not remember what it's called? 04:13:05.020 --> 04:13:09.020 Are you sure it's not called beauty building? Yeah, I don't think so. I think it's called something else 04:13:11.900 --> 04:13:13.900 I maybe you're right beauty build 04:13:15.820 --> 04:13:21.180 Beauty building I mean I did search there are people that say beauty building, but I searched beauty building 04:13:21.180 --> 04:13:23.740 So I don't know if that's like I was going to say the same thing. Yeah 04:13:26.700 --> 04:13:33.900 All right, anyways, there's a there's a Pretty large subset of people that play on the lowest difficulty and then just try to make really cool looking cities 04:13:33.900 --> 04:13:38.460 Instead of the most efficient cities and then some people play on higher difficulties and try to make the most efficient cities 04:13:38.620 --> 04:13:41.820 I even know some people that play on minimum difficulty and try to make 04:13:42.380 --> 04:13:46.620 Obsessively efficient cities and they just don't worry about the difficulty of the game while doing that 04:13:47.580 --> 04:13:50.060 Apparently it's called beauty building. Sure. I don't know 04:13:51.500 --> 04:13:53.980 Every build is a beauty build because this game is beautiful 04:13:57.020 --> 04:14:02.220 Build beauty building uh packs for mana demos out right now launch during steam next fest 04:14:02.380 --> 04:14:06.460 I could have sworn it was called something else. Okay. Well, I'll show you there might be another name for it 04:14:06.620 --> 04:14:11.180 I don't know. I mean this seems to be a thing This seems to be a thing 04:14:11.180 --> 04:14:15.180 I don't know. I don't know Okay 04:14:16.140 --> 04:14:21.980 How do you deal with a product you like being bought out by a company that you're morally or ethically opposed to 04:14:22.380 --> 04:14:25.900 For example, EA or more specifically battlefield six 04:14:27.020 --> 04:14:29.420 It's tough and it's becoming tougher in this 04:14:30.460 --> 04:14:34.780 increasingly consolidated world where 04:14:34.780 --> 04:14:37.500 The companies that make the products that you enjoy 04:14:38.060 --> 04:14:45.580 are increasingly owned by Giant objectively evil multinational corpse or owned by 04:14:46.540 --> 04:14:50.940 nations with very questionable track records around 04:14:51.660 --> 04:14:53.660 human rights and um 04:14:54.700 --> 04:14:57.180 extra judicial killings and all kinds of 04:14:58.060 --> 04:15:03.580 Truly horrible things. There's also problems. This is unrelated to what they're talking about with bf6 04:15:03.660 --> 04:15:07.020 But it is related to the whole company and ethics thing. There's also like 04:15:07.980 --> 04:15:09.980 There seems to be a bias towards 04:15:11.180 --> 04:15:16.780 avoiding the loud ones Instead of necessarily avoiding the worst ones. Yeah 04:15:17.660 --> 04:15:22.780 Uh, which is also interesting. I don't know. It's it's tough. You got to pick your own lines 04:15:23.740 --> 04:15:29.980 Um, and trying to assume that everyone else is going to pick the exact same lines is just going to lead you to be frustrated 04:15:30.300 --> 04:15:33.820 needlessly so don't do that, but um 04:15:33.820 --> 04:15:37.820 Yeah, pick a line If that's your line, then that's your line 04:15:39.420 --> 04:15:44.060 Hey fellas after seeing the server video, I was curious about the process of upgrading servers 04:15:44.380 --> 04:15:49.980 I imagine upgrading is very expensive and requires new cooling solutions. How often do they do that? 04:15:51.580 --> 04:15:56.300 Cooling solutions. No I wouldn't 04:15:56.300 --> 04:16:00.780 For the most part When cooling solution or the whole thing upgrading servers 04:16:01.820 --> 04:16:05.020 Like we've definitely done it over the years, but that's a very 04:16:05.660 --> 04:16:10.780 Small business thing to do Large businesses enterprise data center 04:16:11.500 --> 04:16:15.420 Like you run it as long as the total cost of ownership makes sense 04:16:16.140 --> 04:16:19.580 and then You decommission it. I 04:16:20.860 --> 04:16:24.300 Wow, that's actually very interesting because I didn't even interpret it that way 04:16:25.020 --> 04:16:30.460 I interpreted upgrading servers as replacing servers. Yeah, exactly. I didn't even think about 04:16:30.700 --> 04:16:39.500 Yeah Now when you are replacing servers and you're upgrading the cooling in the data center if that's what you're asking about 04:16:40.060 --> 04:16:43.020 That is a huge problem. We actually discussed that 04:16:43.660 --> 04:16:49.260 Very briefly in the sfu supercomputer. Oh, yeah, I kind of figured that one would have gotten your attention 04:16:49.340 --> 04:16:53.820 Yep So because they have so little power going into that building 04:16:54.220 --> 04:17:00.620 I mean to be clear they thought it was a lot back in the day It used to be apparently like the the control center for 04:17:01.500 --> 04:17:04.940 All the bc hydro like power for the lower half of our province like 04:17:05.740 --> 04:17:08.860 It was built with lots of power and networking or whatever 04:17:09.180 --> 04:17:12.300 But then these new ai servers came out and all of a sudden 04:17:13.340 --> 04:17:15.500 They had to reroute. I think I think it's like 04:17:16.780 --> 04:17:23.420 Don't quote me on this But I think it's like a third of the power going into the data center for just the GPU servers that are just like this like 04:17:23.900 --> 04:17:31.180 One row and they're not even full to full density like to actually build a fully built out fully dense 04:17:31.900 --> 04:17:36.140 ai data center would require this just utterly obscene 04:17:36.780 --> 04:17:38.860 power density like it's like it's insane 04:17:41.820 --> 04:17:48.540 And it was it was a big problem They actually had to take down a bunch of nodes in order to 04:17:49.100 --> 04:17:54.940 Completely reroute all of the networking and power from one side of the data center to the other in order to even do this deployment 04:17:54.940 --> 04:17:57.340 And consolidate enough of it that it could that it could be done 04:17:58.380 --> 04:18:02.620 huge Huge problem and like the the cooling that they added so they added 04:18:03.820 --> 04:18:07.340 Three more of those evaporative cooling towers that they have outside 04:18:07.740 --> 04:18:13.020 And they were what I think they said 1.2 million a pop or something like that to handle the additional heat load 04:18:14.540 --> 04:18:19.020 Spicy And to be clear like it it happens D. Hollinger in chat said 04:18:19.660 --> 04:18:23.820 That really depends these days with the constant security issues we tend to have to do it quite often 04:18:23.820 --> 04:18:27.020 But yes from a hardware perspective usually just replace a physical server 04:18:27.100 --> 04:18:30.220 But not always and like with with even the like 04:18:30.780 --> 04:18:33.740 Location services we've used with like ovh or whatever else 04:18:34.860 --> 04:18:39.500 We've had individual servers that we are using get upgraded 04:18:40.380 --> 04:18:48.460 Upgraded usually the problem is drives are dying and then they just use that opportunity to upgrade things or whatever else, but 04:18:49.980 --> 04:18:54.460 Yeah, in my experience, it's usually swapping out the whole the whole server 04:18:56.780 --> 04:19:04.380 Last one I got for you here Linus How have the first few days of your 40th year on this point been going not yet not yet 04:19:05.020 --> 04:19:13.020 Still in my 30s barely Hang it on any updates on the full install of your new light switches. No, I need to follow that up. We've 04:19:13.820 --> 04:19:20.140 We've got a bunch of really good Sort of home stuff going I still have the list to work on 04:19:22.300 --> 04:19:28.540 And there's some new members of the writing team that you guys will be meeting after they complete their probation assuming that they do knock on wood 04:19:29.660 --> 04:19:33.580 And I'm very excited for some new home automation stuff at my house 04:19:33.660 --> 04:19:38.460 Also some really cool stuff for the tech house one of the new guys actually flagged these 04:19:40.140 --> 04:19:44.780 Heat pump water heaters Which I didn't know was a thing 04:19:44.860 --> 04:19:49.900 But I guess makes sense if you can heat water with gas you could probably also heat water with a heat pump 04:19:50.460 --> 04:19:55.500 But it just has like a Like an hVAC system on the top of it and then the water tank under it. Yeah pretty cool 04:19:55.580 --> 04:19:59.180 So we're going to be looking for all kinds of cool things. He also flagged a 04:19:59.740 --> 04:20:04.620 A smart panel to me So instead of putting smart breakers into a dumb panel 04:20:04.620 --> 04:20:08.380 You just have a smart panel and it can do all kinds of cool stuff like you could tell it 04:20:08.700 --> 04:20:11.020 Hey, if we're if we're at the limit 04:20:11.980 --> 04:20:17.500 Then kill these ones because I don't need them that bad. So for something like whale land that could be amazing 04:20:17.580 --> 04:20:27.740 That would be really good. Yeah, right Whale lands power situation is getting interesting. Oh crap pretty jank says you are 39 meaning you are living in your 40th year Linus 04:20:29.820 --> 04:20:34.060 right uh 04:20:34.780 --> 04:20:38.700 Well, that's depressing and I still haven't learned math, but you're not there yet 04:20:39.340 --> 04:20:43.900 No, I am. Yeah, but you're not at the 40th yet. Well, I'm not finished the 40th 04:20:43.900 --> 04:20:50.380 I'm in my 40th, which is what they but how most people consider it. Well, most people is a very western centric point of view 04:20:51.580 --> 04:20:55.740 Sure. No, they they do they you know, I know but you are western 04:20:56.700 --> 04:21:01.580 Yee-ha. So it would follow how you do it. Would it not? Thanks for watching the WAN Show 04:21:01.660 --> 04:21:05.020 See you again next week. Same bad times. Same bad channel. Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker 04:21:06.220 --> 04:21:08.220 Okay, bye 04:21:12.140 --> 04:21:14.140 Merry Christmas 04:21:16.060 --> 04:21:18.060 All right 04:21:25.740 --> 04:21:27.740 You
