1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,120
No, have you Look at relatively speaking the difference in

2
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:11,120
Circumference between my wrist and my forearm I could see it stretching it out a little

3
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:16,040
It's just less of an issue All right, this guy's like yeah

4
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:20,440
You ever find that like when you have a long sleeve shirt you roll it up one time it never fits good again

5
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,360
Your forearms a lot bigger than your wrist. Yeah, but you're looking at my right ARM. Okay?

6
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,880
Yeah, but you would if you did it with both arms you'd experience it on both arms

7
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,600
Yeah, have you have I showed you this lately? It's kind of nuts

8
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,960
It's interesting how like actually unbalanced a lot of

9
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,760
Like sport focused athletes get

10
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:50,520
Cuz like you know If you play on one side that side's gonna get stronger just as what it is

11
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:56,720
Yeah, and you can like work out. Yeah, try to compensate or whatever, but like never gonna happen. Yeah. Yeah, yeah

12
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:05,200
Kind of funny Are we pre-streaming already? Oh cool. Good stuff

13
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,520
Okay, where's my thing here we go pop out chat

14
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,360
It's up chat

15
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,360
Wait, I don't even see us are we oh

18
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,600
Could happen mighty car mods is here this week. So yeah, yeah

19
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:41,120
Do they do anything else with us or just that just that that's not enough for you. It's a lot of work. So yeah

20
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,000
What do you want what do you want from them or?

21
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:50,720
I want them to I swap your car

22
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,800
I

23
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:59,120
Know I Wonder what the teacher in this video would think about that

24
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,240
Wonder what all the children I killed in the Congo would think of that

25
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,200
Okay

26
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,440
What do you mean Luke's wearing it better I haven't even got my accessories on yet. There we go

27
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,360
Yeah

28
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,800
Okay, we're ready

29
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:33,280
With that fast Luke turns into Duke, I don't think so I almost wore my Duke nuke our Luke nuke from shirt today

30
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,320
Can't I can't wear any shirts other than just plain black shirts from now on

31
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:46,280
Because I only have two and they're the only shirts I can wear all the other shirts are sold out so I can't get more

32
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:55,800
Got to just gotta do laundry every two days Man wearing prescription lenses when you don't have a prescription is oh wait there. I thought you said they weren't prescription

33
00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:01,080
I said their prescription. Oh Yeah, that sucks. You have to wear those the whole show. No, okay?

34
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,880
I'm just gonna wear it for the intro. They just they just wanted me to have like this look. Yeah

35
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:09,600
Yeah, I don't know what the hair really like works for it, but I don't know. Well, we'll make it work

36
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,060
You're a little too cool. The hair's a little too cool

37
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:20,000
No, I have water. I could flat really nicely died. I could flatten it though. Who did that for you? Yeah, some guy. I

38
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,720
Would never send any businesses with us. I'm not gonna

39
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,160
It's hard out there, man, I

40
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,200
Just nice one business

41
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,440
Um

42
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,560
Okay, we ready can be

43
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,400
Yeah, there's not a lot I was really hoping to be able to talk about

44
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,480
That thing that we can't talk about. Yeah, I have so much to say. Yeah, I know me too

45
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,760
That does that it does help we have like no time today. Yeah

46
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,720
Okay Pre-show meditation

47
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:40,920
All right, let's do it Oh, I guess I do it, right? Oh, I will do it now. Wait. Oh, yeah. No, that was from last week

48
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:46,400
I always leak to float playing the thing you can't talk about. Oh, we actually can't though. Oh, yeah, no, that would be super bad

49
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,280
Super disrespectful if you know what I mean

50
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,560
I'm just I'm throwing them what's it called red herring. Yeah. Yeah

51
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:06,920
You guys actually have no idea and the thing that I just said will make you know less than it will not help. Yeah

52
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,840
It will crater your chances of guessing

53
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:23,480
Another red herring I am intentionally making it impossible for you to have any idea what I'm talking about

54
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,120
Okay, I'm going to resume the select to be ready

55
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,560
You

56
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,560
You

57
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:09,320
What is up everyone welcome to the WAN Show where I have blood on my hands

58
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:18,680
What a criminal according to someone's I think high school teacher. I have the blood of people on my hands

59
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,240
And I am personally what is this?

60
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:29,240
Well, well, we'll talk about it. We'll get into it. Apparently I am like really really really bad though

61
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:35,080
And it's got a lot up votes on reddit with people kind of weighing in on on this teacher's take on

62
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:41,720
My peddling of tech tips on the internet and other news much actually more on topic news

63
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,160
Telecoms hate her. We're talking of course about Lena Khan

64
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:52,200
Dude click to cancel. Okay, so making it easier for people to cancel subscriptions

65
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,760
Trade groups representing the telecom industry not happy about it. We're gonna be talking about that

66
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:04,200
What else we got this week airlines embrace Starlink and it sounds like it's a lot better than what we've had in the past

67
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,960
But you know, we'll talk about that later. Also, Squarespace goes private

68
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:14,440
This might not make a lot of sense to be all that interesting, but remember they just bought Google domains. Oh

69
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,680
No

70
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,360
You

71
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,800
The show today is brought to you by jump cloud fallout 76 and

72
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:47,200
Flexi spot with our chair partner secret lab our laptop partner LG and our rap partner

73
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:54,120
D-brand why don't we jump right into our title topic today, which is of course that?

74
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:59,800
Linus is personally Hurting children in the Congo

75
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:10,120
Linus has blood on his hands Children in actually Democratic Republic of the Congo. I think is the proper term, but sure whatever

76
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,360
Work for less than two dollars a day so he can sell you tech tips

77
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,880
It is a requirement if they don't work for two dollars a day or less

78
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,960
You're actually legally not allowed to give anyone tech tips

79
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,000
Don't let tech influencers sway you into gross consumerism

80
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,800
buy less tech and end the suffering in

81
00:08:32,680 --> 00:08:36,760
Congo so according to the poster on reddit

82
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:42,040
Let's see if I can actually find anything from the OP here

83
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,800
Yeah, no, well anyway, there's there's a lot to kind of unpack here

84
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,320
You

85
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,400
Guys can probably hear that Short aside

86
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,880
Marty from mighty car mods and a bunch of

87
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:08,480
His friends are here this week working on a collab. We took ploof's car to a completely new level

88
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:16,200
So look forward to that video soon. That was probably the car like going somewhere and it's not close to us right now

89
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:24,880
It's got a cosmetic muffler is I believe the the the term for it cosmetic muffler anyway

90
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,000
the point is there's a lot to unpack here and

91
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:37,080
I'm gonna stun everyone including probably my co-host my producer and all of you watching by saying I don't fundamentally disagree

92
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:46,720
Okay, but hold on okay hold on so I've actually had this conversation

93
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:56,280
Internally before well, not this specific one, but in this case it was it was more along the lines of

94
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,720
Sort of discussing the impact of our business

95
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:08,200
Environmentally more more broadly, you know, we we create that that's not our product again. We create

96
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,340
Merch items, you know, we have things manufactured we sell them

97
00:10:13,860 --> 00:10:17,300
We burn jet fuel shipping them around the world

98
00:10:18,140 --> 00:10:24,580
We obviously as we burn jet fuel shipping ourselves across the world. Yeah. Yeah, we do and in cases where

99
00:10:25,140 --> 00:10:28,780
Realistically we could have found out just as much about the product on a zoom call

100
00:10:29,540 --> 00:10:36,500
Instead, you know, we we fly somewhere we eat food up in a mile in the air because you know that

101
00:10:36,820 --> 00:10:40,900
Where you should eat food instead of eating it in your home and harvested sitting on your webcam

102
00:10:40,940 --> 00:10:45,060
Somewhere else moved to an airport put in a plane and shipped somewhere else with you to eat

103
00:10:45,060 --> 00:10:48,060
And so running running the business that we do

104
00:10:48,780 --> 00:10:55,540
We oh man, we we build sets, right? These are these are structures that do not house anybody

105
00:10:55,860 --> 00:11:01,820
Yeah, right we we buy technology and I think this is part of the point that's being made with this slide

106
00:11:01,820 --> 00:11:07,820
We buy technology products that contain precious materials like cobalt and lithium

107
00:11:08,500 --> 00:11:10,580
in some cases, you know very

108
00:11:13,060 --> 00:11:18,460
Controversially obtained materials, right and don't even use them sometimes

109
00:11:18,460 --> 00:11:21,580
We have a warehouse of devices that are sitting not being used

110
00:11:21,580 --> 00:11:27,380
You know, you could easily look at our business and go, okay. Well, you guys have an enormous

111
00:11:28,180 --> 00:11:31,300
Carbon footprint you guys have an enormous environmental impact

112
00:11:32,420 --> 00:11:34,540
So I understand

113
00:11:37,820 --> 00:11:42,940
Boy, I think that was across the front of the building. I think so. I think that was fairly close. I

114
00:11:44,100 --> 00:11:50,340
Understand where this point is coming from and I actually think it comes from a pretty good place

115
00:11:51,060 --> 00:11:55,700
We are a marketing company, right? We are a production company

116
00:11:56,420 --> 00:12:01,220
And part of our job is to sell things, right?

117
00:12:02,060 --> 00:12:06,060
Fundamentally, right? I mean, we're gonna we're gonna give you guys a pitch for our new tech bro vest

118
00:12:06,300 --> 00:12:08,800
Later on in this very podcast

119
00:12:10,020 --> 00:12:15,940
However, I do think that there are degrees to which you can mitigate some of the damage

120
00:12:15,940 --> 00:12:23,000
And I do think that singling out me as you know, the tech influencer who has blood on his hands

121
00:12:23,660 --> 00:12:31,820
Seems a little misguided given my history of promoting the three Rs of promoting right to repair of

122
00:12:32,540 --> 00:12:35,740
of Principally standing behind

123
00:12:36,100 --> 00:12:40,800
Those things that I promote when it comes to things like investments in framework who is

124
00:12:41,420 --> 00:12:50,460
Legitimately doing real work Was not done on a framework laptop. Oh, yeah, that's a good point. It was done on a Chromebook

125
00:12:50,460 --> 00:12:56,380
Yeah, probably just about the most disposable kind of laptop computer that you can purchase

126
00:12:56,380 --> 00:13:03,300
Yeah, and so I think that's something that is maybe some nuance that is missing in this take is that

127
00:13:03,620 --> 00:13:08,900
Realistically you are going to need clothes You are going to need a computer

128
00:13:09,620 --> 00:13:14,460
If you want to, you know, not get arrested for being naked everywhere

129
00:13:14,460 --> 00:13:17,940
And if you want to have a job, you know in the year 2024

130
00:13:17,940 --> 00:13:25,460
Yeah a lot of modern life is done through computing and a big part of our job is to make sure that when you buy those clothes

131
00:13:25,540 --> 00:13:29,500
They last for a really long time and when you buy that computer

132
00:13:29,500 --> 00:13:33,540
It's one that actually suits your needs properly instead of being manufactured e-waste

133
00:13:33,820 --> 00:13:39,140
There is so much more waste involved in buying something and then

134
00:13:39,540 --> 00:13:45,740
It just being a piece of junk that should have never been manufactured in the first place supporting that industry instead of just

135
00:13:46,820 --> 00:13:50,420
Supporting companies that build a high quality product that's made to last in the first place

136
00:13:50,420 --> 00:13:53,700
Which is what we obviously strive to help people find

137
00:13:53,900 --> 00:13:58,100
We don't nail everything. We are not perfect. We are in fact human it turns out

138
00:13:58,180 --> 00:14:05,460
But what I would ask then to this teacher whatever grade whatever class this is on something English

139
00:14:05,620 --> 00:14:10,180
Yeah, okay, this is an English class. I don't see how this is particularly on topic

140
00:14:10,180 --> 00:14:13,620
But anyway, I think I know what's going on. It doesn't matter. The point is here's what I would ask

141
00:14:14,900 --> 00:14:16,900
How would you do it?

142
00:14:18,140 --> 00:14:22,500
What would your media company do then?

143
00:14:23,700 --> 00:14:29,380
Right like in order for you to provide people advice or should they just should they not have a phone?

144
00:14:30,660 --> 00:14:36,500
And if they do Have a phone which do you have a phone? How do you decide which one to buy?

145
00:14:36,660 --> 00:14:42,580
So I think there's particular bits of uh, people say the website links to your store. I've I've typed in a bunch of times

146
00:14:42,580 --> 00:14:46,020
I've never had to go to this store, but um, I think it's a

147
00:14:46,740 --> 00:14:50,740
Someone saying is it a media literacy thing? I think it might be that I think it might be a

148
00:14:51,140 --> 00:14:57,300
display of like a potential form of like propaganda or something. I don't think it's necessarily actually legit

149
00:14:59,140 --> 00:15:04,100
But uh, so something I've been thinking about though is like I immediately pointed out when this was first linked to me

150
00:15:04,100 --> 00:15:08,100
And I thought it might have been real. Um, I immediately pointed out scraphead wars

151
00:15:09,220 --> 00:15:16,340
Because like we started that super early on in the history of the company realistically in in regards to like series that we have

152
00:15:16,980 --> 00:15:20,180
um and

153
00:15:21,700 --> 00:15:26,340
Let's see That does work

154
00:15:26,900 --> 00:15:31,540
Um We started it super super early on in the in the history of our company

155
00:15:31,940 --> 00:15:38,020
um And its whole idea was showing that you don't have to buy new computer components

156
00:15:38,020 --> 00:15:42,260
You can reuse someone else's that they're trying to get rid of right that was like not gonna lie

157
00:15:43,780 --> 00:15:46,180
I may have just been post bamboozled. Oh, yeah

158
00:15:46,980 --> 00:15:48,980
You guys were not gonna tell me

159
00:15:51,300 --> 00:15:56,340
May have misspelled it and somebody else bought the domain and made it link there

160
00:15:57,620 --> 00:16:03,700
That makes way more sense because I I saw this on reddit before it was in the topics. No, okay

161
00:16:04,900 --> 00:16:11,460
Let's get you guys up to date. So the uh, the url in the slide redirects to lttstore.com

162
00:16:11,540 --> 00:16:20,420
Which would seem to suggest that it's a shit post But I saw this when it first showed up on reddit and the op was replying to people know this guy's actually for real

163
00:16:20,580 --> 00:16:27,860
Oh, okay, and yeah, it's a typo. It's it's a completely different site. It's supposed to be like friends of the congo.org

164
00:16:27,940 --> 00:16:31,380
Yeah, yeah, so no no no no. This is real. It's really okay

165
00:16:31,460 --> 00:16:36,180
Yeah, I thought it was just supposed to because like no there was it seems like it should be

166
00:16:36,740 --> 00:16:39,940
Just like a because teachers did stuff like that when I was in school

167
00:16:40,020 --> 00:16:44,980
They would try to like rattle you up on something and then get you make an argument about it or whatever else

168
00:16:45,060 --> 00:16:50,100
Yeah, no, it actually does not seem to it does not actually seem to be wow. That's fantastic. Yeah

169
00:16:50,500 --> 00:16:56,740
So we we have specific series scrapyard wars where we show that you know, you don't have to buy new tech to get

170
00:16:57,380 --> 00:17:02,660
Your foot in the door and we're going to attack you can even get really high-performance good stuff by buying used things

171
00:17:02,900 --> 00:17:07,220
We have compensator which shows not only do you you know not have to buy new tech

172
00:17:07,300 --> 00:17:12,820
But also just buying the most expensive stuff is pretty stupid kind of actually just stupid doesn't have a benefit

173
00:17:12,900 --> 00:17:17,380
Yeah, we call it a compensator, right? We're we're we're making fun of it

174
00:17:17,940 --> 00:17:22,260
Spending that kind of money just for just for show just to have the most expensive thing

175
00:17:22,980 --> 00:17:26,660
The values on our channel have always been

176
00:17:27,060 --> 00:17:32,980
About finding bang for the buck finding a good value recently you you started just repairing broken things

177
00:17:33,620 --> 00:17:37,140
Yeah, that's showing showing how like effective and valuable that is however

178
00:17:37,460 --> 00:17:43,940
I'm going to again play devil's advocate is counters against my own channel. Yeah, why did we make a video on the

179
00:17:43,940 --> 00:17:51,380
115 inch tv that again I invested heavily in in fuel to be transported all the way from china

180
00:17:52,180 --> 00:17:57,300
So that I could you know install in my house creating a you know shrine to

181
00:17:58,500 --> 00:18:04,020
media Consumption like it's a whatever right my point is just that

182
00:18:04,820 --> 00:18:08,500
People can be influenced in a lot of different ways and even if I say at the end of the video

183
00:18:08,580 --> 00:18:12,420
Yeah, this isn't a great value and it's not something that I would recommend for most people

184
00:18:13,140 --> 00:18:20,260
um, it Aspirationally people might watch that and go like oh, but I'd like to I'd like to have something like that

185
00:18:20,900 --> 00:18:24,660
Right, so so I think you could make an argument that that I do

186
00:18:25,620 --> 00:18:35,540
participate in sort of Maybe not glorifying but but certainly making consumption seem you know attractive or attainable or desirable

187
00:18:36,500 --> 00:18:40,660
Hmm I

188
00:18:41,060 --> 00:18:47,380
Don't know I think being interested in technology is not inherently like a sin

189
00:18:48,260 --> 00:18:58,020
And I think seeing the bounds of it Is is entertaining and interesting and you could you could see this massive tv like I see that tv and I don't want it

190
00:18:59,460 --> 00:19:02,900
Like you're not telling people you should want this you should go buy this you're actually showing

191
00:19:03,220 --> 00:19:08,660
How complicated and annoying it was to get And things like that. I think sometimes it comes down to the messaging

192
00:19:09,220 --> 00:19:13,380
Um, you're not actively recommending that people buy it. No, I'm not but like

193
00:19:17,380 --> 00:19:23,860
I don't know it's I definitely see how if you're a fitness influencer sure

194
00:19:24,820 --> 00:19:27,140
You are automatically going to

195
00:19:29,060 --> 00:19:33,540
Be you know communicating the positives of buying stuff

196
00:19:34,260 --> 00:19:39,220
Are you though? Yeah, what if what if you're a fitness influencer who focuses entirely on calisthenics?

197
00:19:39,380 --> 00:19:42,580
Darn it. I thought of what that as you were going into it. Fucking god

198
00:19:43,780 --> 00:19:48,260
Destroyed yeah, people like stay flexi are pretty good for that kind of stuff. Yeah, you could if you're if you're a

199
00:19:48,900 --> 00:19:53,140
I don't know. Okay. Jim. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on because work out equipment is expensive

200
00:19:53,300 --> 00:20:01,460
It's really heavy. No, you're gonna have to give me something other than fitness You gotta find a different vertical turn find a different vertical automotive. I mean we can hear it outside

201
00:20:01,700 --> 00:20:06,340
I think automotive is actually an even easier argue to make for just the

202
00:20:07,140 --> 00:20:11,540
Unnecessariness of of that entire of that entire space personal transportation

203
00:20:11,540 --> 00:20:16,660
But what if you talk about done a lot of damage to the world if you talk about things like repairing

204
00:20:17,620 --> 00:20:21,620
What if you talk about things like don't have a car and take a bike or the bus?

205
00:20:22,900 --> 00:20:29,860
Then then I think you could I think you could make a pretty easy argument there that you should be doing your part to

206
00:20:30,020 --> 00:20:34,260
Improve the viability of that rather than just accepting things the way that they are

207
00:20:34,260 --> 00:20:40,340
What about the people that are in situations where they they cannot do anything other than have a vehicle realistically there is no

208
00:20:41,380 --> 00:20:45,220
Safe alternative find me a channel that has only ever done that then

209
00:20:46,820 --> 00:20:52,420
I don't think that's out there. Yeah the the ethical the ethical personal transportation ownership channel

210
00:20:54,340 --> 00:20:58,340
There is no ethical consumption under in my opinion effectively any

211
00:20:59,220 --> 00:21:01,780
human system so just is what it is

212
00:21:03,780 --> 00:21:07,940
People are to make up for their own make up for themselves. What is okay and what isn't okay?

213
00:21:10,180 --> 00:21:14,580
So basically the person who made this slide did it on a laptop that has a

214
00:21:15,220 --> 00:21:18,580
Fat battery in it that probably has a bunch of cobalt in it

215
00:21:18,980 --> 00:21:23,460
Yeah, could have done it on something that didn't involve batteries. They could have done it on an overhead projector

216
00:21:23,540 --> 00:21:32,900
But they didn't do that So I think in short they almost certainly have a phone. I understand where the teacher is coming from. I understand the argument

217
00:21:33,300 --> 00:21:35,300
um, I understand that

218
00:21:36,340 --> 00:21:41,540
You're almost making the so you hate society. Why do you participate in it?

219
00:21:41,940 --> 00:21:45,060
Why do you participate in an argument? Which is no, no, no, no

220
00:21:45,060 --> 00:21:51,060
I'm saying that this type of argument doesn't really hold a lot of water for me when that's the case if there are you know

221
00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:56,660
There are channels out there. There are influencers out there that are very much pushy for consumerism. That is a thing

222
00:21:56,820 --> 00:22:00,100
I don't think we necessarily are I think we have certain content that

223
00:22:00,660 --> 00:22:05,380
Can maybe push the line a little bit. Sure. I think stuff spend five grand on your room

224
00:22:07,140 --> 00:22:12,020
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can see that can maybe push the line a little bit. I don't think it always does though

225
00:22:12,100 --> 00:22:16,820
Yeah in fairness to us. I mean that's more driven by that individual. Yeah, because they pick

226
00:22:17,060 --> 00:22:23,140
Exactly what they want other than making sure there's one product from the the series sponsor, which is AMD right now

227
00:22:23,300 --> 00:22:26,820
Yeah, so like But I think we also

228
00:22:26,820 --> 00:22:29,780
Balance it out quite well by like, you know when a phone comes out

229
00:22:30,260 --> 00:22:35,700
We're not like, oh my god by the new phone. It's amazing We're like, you know, if you have last generation's phone

230
00:22:35,700 --> 00:22:40,980
This is probably not worthy of an upgrade because phones aren't moving that fast right now and you're probably fine

231
00:22:41,380 --> 00:22:45,380
And we we you know, I mean look at look at the most two recent CPU reviews

232
00:22:46,980 --> 00:22:48,980
No, you're probably fine

233
00:22:50,820 --> 00:22:54,420
You a gamer? All right, put your wallet away. You can sit this one out. Yeah

234
00:22:55,380 --> 00:22:58,180
Uh, yeah, I don't know like I don't I don't think that we just push

235
00:22:58,820 --> 00:23:07,060
consume consume consume I yeah, okay. So tell me this one of the things that this made me think of was um

236
00:23:08,180 --> 00:23:10,180
Taylor Swift

237
00:23:12,100 --> 00:23:16,740
Yeah, so Taylor Taylor gets a lot of s***

238
00:23:16,820 --> 00:23:19,700
For her private jet use jet travel. Okay. Yeah. Yeah

239
00:23:20,420 --> 00:23:25,060
and I think that there is I personally I I

240
00:23:25,140 --> 00:23:30,340
I don't fly private. Um, I don't even fly first class. I mean really come on look at the size of my legs

241
00:23:32,020 --> 00:23:38,820
Do I need more leg room? Not really. Um, so you know, I I kind of look at private air travel and I'm like, um

242
00:23:39,780 --> 00:23:43,780
Yeah, it doesn't seem great. You know the the the sheer amount of fuel consumption

243
00:23:43,860 --> 00:23:47,860
Also, like in in in Taylor's defense. Can you imagine?

244
00:23:49,300 --> 00:23:53,140
Taylor sitting on a normal plane the

245
00:23:53,220 --> 00:23:56,820
Attacks genuine attacks that she would probably be subject to

246
00:23:56,900 --> 00:24:02,820
Insane, she would probably have to buy like the 10 seat radius around her for her security guard

247
00:24:03,940 --> 00:24:07,860
So hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. She's just gonna get chirped at the whole time

248
00:24:07,940 --> 00:24:13,220
What do you mean? We're not on a first name basis Gallifrey and she just only has a first name. This is swift share

249
00:24:13,940 --> 00:24:19,940
Okay, Madonna Taylor. She's earned it. Okay. The point is that so so so

250
00:24:20,980 --> 00:24:25,380
One of the arguments that I see often so so I have my own thoughts on private travel

251
00:24:25,460 --> 00:24:31,540
I don't feel it's necessary for me in any kind of security way and and I'm not I'm not super

252
00:24:32,100 --> 00:24:35,380
keen on it. I don't think it's great for the world. Um

253
00:24:36,580 --> 00:24:41,940
However, one of the arguments that I see made very often about her is oh my god

254
00:24:42,180 --> 00:24:48,260
Look at all the private jet travel she's doing and the many tons of co2

255
00:24:48,660 --> 00:24:51,540
That she creates compared to the average person

256
00:24:51,700 --> 00:24:56,900
So we're recruiting the swifties to help us against this teacher. No, no, no, that's not that's not my point

257
00:24:57,540 --> 00:25:03,620
my point is That's always something that has bothered me because I have an alternate perspective on that

258
00:25:04,020 --> 00:25:09,780
If you think about what someone like Taylor Swift is doing in her private jet, what is she doing? Where is she going?

259
00:25:10,740 --> 00:25:17,780
Usually Concert like yeah on tour places to have concerts you can actually there's like a tracker that shows like, you know

260
00:25:17,780 --> 00:25:22,180
Everywhere she flew and and there's obviously some stuff that's a little unnecessary

261
00:25:22,340 --> 00:25:29,300
Like did she have to go from overseas to every one of travis kelsie's, you know games last playoffs or whatever

262
00:25:29,860 --> 00:25:33,300
I don't know. Maybe not, you know, maybe maybe she could have watched it on tv. I don't know

263
00:25:33,300 --> 00:25:36,740
I bet you would have if you could maybe that was an option I

264
00:25:36,740 --> 00:25:41,620
Yeah, and that's that's the thing to think about for yourself But that's a separate conversation the point is in general where she going

265
00:25:41,780 --> 00:25:46,180
She's probably going on tour and there's a lot of kind of if you look at the the travel patterns

266
00:25:46,180 --> 00:25:48,580
There's a lot of kind of like going back and forth to places

267
00:25:49,220 --> 00:25:54,100
Probably for you know rehearsal this and transport the bandmates and equipment, you know, whatever else it is

268
00:25:54,180 --> 00:25:59,620
it does a lot of like ferrying things around And it's wild to me that you can just drag private planes, but anyways

269
00:25:59,620 --> 00:26:04,580
And so all of that co2 kind of gets attributed to taylor swift and it's like look at this number

270
00:26:04,820 --> 00:26:06,980
Look at the average person, but here's an argument

271
00:26:07,940 --> 00:26:09,940
What about the people who attended the concert?

272
00:26:12,580 --> 00:26:14,980
Do they own a share of those emissions?

273
00:26:15,780 --> 00:26:20,900
They're paying for her to go there. They're they're financially asking her to do that. Why the f*** is she there?

274
00:26:21,300 --> 00:26:28,100
She wouldn't be there If nobody asked her to be there and paid good money for her to be there. Yeah normies. It's your fault. No, I'm just

275
00:26:30,260 --> 00:26:37,380
Yeah, you're the reason seen that says wanting things. So is taylor responsible for all the people who travel to see her in concert?

276
00:26:38,100 --> 00:26:45,220
Exactly. Yes. Am I responsible for all the people who buy some phone or some laptop?

277
00:26:46,980 --> 00:26:48,980
Of course not. What?

278
00:26:50,900 --> 00:26:54,020
What do you mean? So let's go me and taylor, you know, we're

279
00:26:54,900 --> 00:27:02,500
We're we're of a kind, you know You guys are close. We're not actually responsible for the bullshit that people do because they I don't know

280
00:27:03,220 --> 00:27:08,340
think we're cool A lot more of them think she's cool, but I I was I was just trying to find a link

281
00:27:08,980 --> 00:27:13,380
I was just trying to find a link. I have one thing in common with taylor swift now your last name starts with s

282
00:27:14,020 --> 00:27:18,020
That's two Dang

283
00:27:18,820 --> 00:27:25,060
We're getting there Now you just need to release a country album. Uh, yeah, maybe not

284
00:27:25,940 --> 00:27:27,940
You don't you don't want to listen to that

285
00:27:31,860 --> 00:27:41,380
She thinks my processor's sexy What what are you even reading my tractor sexy my tractor the song. I don't know. I don't know the song. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah

286
00:27:42,020 --> 00:27:47,540
Maybe a christmas album. Good. You have released an album. That's true. You're both singer songwriters

287
00:27:52,260 --> 00:27:57,780
Twinsies Oh, man. Yeah, next time you see her you're just gonna be like what up twin

288
00:27:58,340 --> 00:28:02,900
Man, I think we talked about this on land show before but do you remember when the news broke that she was a billionaire?

289
00:28:03,780 --> 00:28:09,300
And everyone was like, oh my god, taylor's a billionaire and I was like surprised and I was sitting here going like

290
00:28:12,500 --> 00:28:16,340
Has been for a while like

291
00:28:16,340 --> 00:28:22,660
Based on what I know about my own situation and based on the fact that I I am this

292
00:28:23,460 --> 00:28:25,460
And Taylor Swift is this

293
00:28:28,340 --> 00:28:30,340
Yeah, we're both blonde

294
00:28:33,060 --> 00:28:37,540
We're getting there. Oh man, this is turning into a whole topic. What do I have in common with taylor's

295
00:28:37,620 --> 00:28:43,700
How many degrees of separation as long as in taylor? Yeah, probably like one or two. We both got kind of big thighs

296
00:28:46,500 --> 00:28:49,940
I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I'm just saying we both got him. I don't even know that

297
00:28:50,740 --> 00:28:53,380
Have you seen the bodysuit she wears in the aris tour? No

298
00:28:54,500 --> 00:28:58,180
You can tell how big her thighs are. I have not seen the aris tour. Yeah, like what?

299
00:29:03,940 --> 00:29:05,940
Caught him, dude

300
00:29:09,380 --> 00:29:13,460
Linus is my ring, dude, okay, so what?

301
00:29:15,380 --> 00:29:18,420
What I'm supposed I'm supposed to not notice it looks pretty normal

302
00:29:19,380 --> 00:29:21,380
Yeah, she's got thighs

303
00:29:23,780 --> 00:29:25,860
She's tall though, uh, yeah

304
00:29:30,100 --> 00:29:33,700
Okay, let's move on topic number two. What do you want to talk about next?

305
00:29:38,260 --> 00:29:41,060
You got nothing I have to log back in so I got nothing

306
00:29:41,780 --> 00:29:49,620
Lena con Sure, let's talk about someone who is sexy on the inside here because dude Lena con

307
00:29:50,980 --> 00:29:57,460
Absolutely based Lena con is based. I do I do agree. Lena con is based. Just just don't talk about her thighs

308
00:29:59,620 --> 00:30:04,180
That's probably not appropriate I think we're killing dad

309
00:30:08,340 --> 00:30:15,380
Anyways, Lena con is based trade groups representing the telecom industry are suing to stop the fdc's recently announced click to cancel rule

310
00:30:15,380 --> 00:30:22,900
Which we all want, uh, which would require all subscription services to provide a means of cancelling that is at least as easy as sign up

311
00:30:23,620 --> 00:30:26,660
The complaint argues that the decision is a form of regulatory

312
00:30:27,540 --> 00:30:30,100
regulatory overreach that is arbitrary

313
00:30:30,820 --> 00:30:35,620
Capricious and an abuse of discretion in other american regulatory news

314
00:30:35,940 --> 00:30:40,900
AT&T and t-mobile have come out against a proposed FCC rule that would

315
00:30:41,460 --> 00:30:46,020
That would require carriers to unlock phones 60 days after activation. That sounds amazing

316
00:30:46,500 --> 00:30:52,500
So they can be switched to another carrier. That's this is see we're promoting that because it's good for reuse

317
00:30:53,460 --> 00:30:58,740
According to t-mobile which locks prepaid phone phones for a year customers would be harmed

318
00:30:59,460 --> 00:31:01,460
By no longer having access to

319
00:31:02,500 --> 00:31:05,060
Free or heavily subsidized handsets

320
00:31:07,620 --> 00:31:15,540
Okay, uh, AT&T which locks phones for six months says that the move would create upward pressure on handset prices. So here

321
00:31:16,740 --> 00:31:23,460
Mr. High School teacher Let me explain to you our position on this matter and how it's actually

322
00:31:24,020 --> 00:31:32,100
Good for consumption We support this because heavily subsidized technology products encourage

323
00:31:33,060 --> 00:31:41,540
gratuitous consumption Your old phone probably works and if the new phone cost more and by more I don't mean more

324
00:31:41,860 --> 00:31:45,620
I mean if it cost the amount it actually cost if you were actually

325
00:31:46,180 --> 00:31:52,340
Not being expected to do the complex admittedly complicated math of how much is my monthly payment

326
00:31:52,660 --> 00:31:58,180
Versus how much is my down payment on the device in the first place? How much am I paying for it overall, right?

327
00:31:58,580 --> 00:32:01,460
If you actually saw the sticker price of that phone

328
00:32:01,700 --> 00:32:08,500
You would be more likely to keep your old one for longer and run on a longer upgrade cycle. Okay

329
00:32:09,700 --> 00:32:12,260
We are supportive of this

330
00:32:12,820 --> 00:32:17,300
Because it would expose the true cost of a new handset to the consumer

331
00:32:17,700 --> 00:32:21,700
And probably reduce the overall sales of new mobile devices

332
00:32:22,260 --> 00:32:29,300
That is a good Thing and yeah, if you rely on heavily subsidized phones then

333
00:32:30,420 --> 00:32:36,820
That's a that's a downer, but you can get used ones But here's the thing if you rely on heavily subsidized phones

334
00:32:37,220 --> 00:32:41,700
You're still paying for them in the monthly you're paying for them in the monthly

335
00:32:42,020 --> 00:32:48,100
So what this will force is it will force the carriers to give you the real cost of the device

336
00:32:48,580 --> 00:32:52,580
And then it will force them to compete on the cost of the monthly service

337
00:32:52,820 --> 00:32:55,940
Which will ultimately drive your total cost of ownership

338
00:32:56,500 --> 00:33:05,140
Down this is a good good good good good thing. Yeah, and because I don't actually give two shits if you buy more phones

339
00:33:06,260 --> 00:33:10,740
I really don't I will of course support this

340
00:33:12,260 --> 00:33:20,500
Let's go back to that first point though Trade groups representing the telecom industry are suing to stop the recently announced click to cancel. So guys

341
00:33:21,060 --> 00:33:26,660
This is something that if I know there's kind of a big election going on in our with our southern neighbors

342
00:33:26,740 --> 00:33:31,060
What what is that in like good lord like 16 days or something like that?

343
00:33:32,100 --> 00:33:38,420
If you if you guys have any way maybe once the dust settles a little bit of making your voice heard to your local representative

344
00:33:38,900 --> 00:33:46,580
um Click to cancel is outstanding and should be supported at every level of government by every citizen

345
00:33:46,900 --> 00:33:55,700
There is literally No one who should be who should be supportive of dark patterns and and complicated

346
00:33:56,260 --> 00:34:00,100
Like like going in person to cancel gym memberships and stuff like that like dude

347
00:34:00,820 --> 00:34:04,900
So and basically what click to cancel means is whatever method you use to sign up

348
00:34:05,540 --> 00:34:11,460
You can use the same method to cancel it But there's there's like gyms for example that are known for allowing you to sign up online

349
00:34:12,100 --> 00:34:16,660
Give all your payment details and then if you want to cancel you have to like go in person and do it

350
00:34:16,900 --> 00:34:21,220
So they intentionally put these obstacles in the way to make it more difficult for you to cancel

351
00:34:21,380 --> 00:34:27,140
The gyms specifically want that because a lot of people feel shame about canceling a gym membership in person

352
00:34:27,780 --> 00:34:31,060
um and a lot of especially like corporate

353
00:34:31,780 --> 00:34:35,940
Large multi-location franchise gyms have gyms all over the place

354
00:34:36,340 --> 00:34:40,340
So if you try to use excuses like oh, I'm I'm moving or whatever let us be like

355
00:34:40,420 --> 00:34:44,500
Oh, yeah, that's no problem. We'll just transfer your membership to like the the local gym in that area

356
00:34:45,220 --> 00:34:51,300
So they they try to do a lot of things to make sure that you feel shame in cancelling your gym membership

357
00:34:52,020 --> 00:34:56,500
Which is which is icky gross. Oh apparently I got the election day wrong. Is it not the 11th?

358
00:34:57,460 --> 00:35:06,100
Sorry, it's the fifth. Oh my goodness. It's 10 days away. All right, so yeah get out there and do your thing

359
00:35:08,180 --> 00:35:11,620
My american friends this this is now watch this drive. Sorry

360
00:35:14,340 --> 00:35:21,300
This is uh, this if I remember correctly this year has like one of the highest concentrations of worldwide elections like ever

361
00:35:22,260 --> 00:35:27,620
Kind of crazy. Yeah, I think bc broke records recently Um and and turnout to people are turning out. Yeah

362
00:35:28,020 --> 00:35:31,460
Bc had a weird one because like conservatives haven't been in power in bc

363
00:35:31,460 --> 00:35:40,500
If I remember correctly in like close to a hundred years or something Yeah, but our conservative party is a little complicated changed. So yeah, who would actually who it actually is is like

364
00:35:41,300 --> 00:35:45,060
Yeah, well our liberate our oh my god. Did you see christie clark?

365
00:35:45,780 --> 00:35:49,700
F**k volunteered herself to run the federal liberals like I could do it

366
00:35:50,340 --> 00:35:57,780
Nobody wants you to do that get out of here literally nobody. I will actually march me too. I would I would do it

367
00:35:57,780 --> 00:36:04,100
I would as well like imagine Imagine okay, we have we have justin trudeau

368
00:36:05,220 --> 00:36:09,540
Very imperfect leader Imagine being like, you know, it'd be better

369
00:36:09,540 --> 00:36:13,540
Corruption queen

370
00:36:14,980 --> 00:36:22,660
Are you kidding me? Oh man Oh, oh man. Yeah. Yeah, actually actually worse

371
00:36:23,220 --> 00:36:29,620
And I know I know for for a lot of the people who only see like international headlines or like

372
00:36:30,420 --> 00:36:36,660
Nonsense that their uncle posts on facebook or whatever. You probably can't imagine anything worse than justin trudeau. Yeah, he's not

373
00:36:36,660 --> 00:36:38,980
He's super imperfect. I'll put it that way

374
00:36:40,500 --> 00:36:44,500
There's levels of self-dealing and corruption

375
00:36:45,060 --> 00:36:47,620
He is only but an acolyte

376
00:36:54,340 --> 00:36:59,060
You know that you know that meme like I'll do it again. I feel like she's like

377
00:37:00,980 --> 00:37:06,420
But on a national scale Dude the the art thought I did a lot with a province

378
00:37:07,380 --> 00:37:14,020
What about the country? I should see if I can um, I should see if I can find the article because

379
00:37:14,660 --> 00:37:18,260
It's so Bad

380
00:37:18,260 --> 00:37:24,980
Uh, here we go. Hold on. Was this uh, was this ctv news article as he as justin trudeau faces growing pressure

381
00:37:25,780 --> 00:37:33,140
um Oh, yeah, oh, this this is amazing. Okay. This article is so bad

382
00:37:33,780 --> 00:37:36,980
Clark served as bc premier between blah blah blah blah blah blah

383
00:37:37,540 --> 00:37:44,580
um Who appear Clark who appears on a weekly as a weekly panelist on ctv's power play. Oh couldn't help noticing that that's um

384
00:37:44,820 --> 00:37:50,340
The publication i'm reading Also released a separate statement on x and called for unity within the party to fight conservative leader

385
00:37:50,740 --> 00:37:54,820
Her comments come ahead of a highly anticipated gaukus meeting. I'm above the blah blah blah

386
00:37:55,620 --> 00:38:02,180
blah blah blah blah blah, okay Emerged etc. Etc. Oh wait, no, is this not the right one? Yeah? What are we looking for?

387
00:38:02,340 --> 00:38:05,460
Hold on. Oh, no, I was looking for one that like basically was uh

388
00:38:05,460 --> 00:38:11,860
It basically talked about what she's been up to since she retired, and no, this isn't the one.

389
00:38:11,860 --> 00:38:14,620
Nope, nope, nope, I take it back. CTV, you're doing good.

390
00:38:16,180 --> 00:38:21,180
Go ahead and do a quick merge message or something there.

391
00:38:22,580 --> 00:38:25,780
Yeah, sure, I've got a couple for you here already.

392
00:38:25,780 --> 00:38:29,460
With the, oh, no, hold on, you gotta explain what it is and do your updates.

393
00:38:29,460 --> 00:38:33,660
No, Lou can do it. All right. If you go to lttstore.com,

394
00:38:33,660 --> 00:38:38,140
if you add something to your cart, like potentially a tech bro vest

395
00:38:38,140 --> 00:38:42,380
that we will talk about a little bit later, you go and view the cart in the cart,

396
00:38:42,380 --> 00:38:47,220
you'll be able to see this merge message's box. If you check the box saying I would like my purchase

397
00:38:47,220 --> 00:38:50,460
to appear as a merge message on the LTT stream,

398
00:38:50,460 --> 00:38:54,140
it's called Stream Not When show because it's for the various streams that we do.

399
00:38:54,140 --> 00:38:57,320
You can go in here and leave a message for the show,

400
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:01,240
at which point it will be curated by Dan

401
00:39:01,240 --> 00:39:08,060
to either be responded to by Dan as you'll probably see down here as a response to this one,

402
00:39:08,060 --> 00:39:11,420
or if you say super bad things that aren't allowed to show up on stream

403
00:39:11,420 --> 00:39:17,320
because you included bad words, we'll yeet it, or it'll be curated by Dan for Linus or myself to answer.

404
00:39:18,540 --> 00:39:23,860
Sure, let's see. Is that normally what he says? Something like that. I think he's a little worse at it, but okay.

405
00:39:23,860 --> 00:39:26,580
I'm listening. Oh crap, he's still here.

406
00:39:27,980 --> 00:39:31,000
Let's see, with the mention of the chair partner,

407
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,800
the laptop partner and D brand and PIA during After Dark,

408
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:39,600
the number of ads in WAN Show technically doubled. Do you have an internal limit or policy

409
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,340
on how much is too much?

410
00:39:42,720 --> 00:39:45,300
I think we need four times as much.

411
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:52,400
I don't think we technically do. I think over the course of a show that often goes for like four hours,

412
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,440
I think a very small amount of mentions at the beginning of the show,

413
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,560
and then three not very long mentions in the middle of the show

414
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,860
is really not a big deal personally.

415
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:06,760
I agree with this merch message too many sponsor,

416
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:12,520
someone said in a full-point chat. It when people consider the merch messages section

417
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:17,520
at the end of the show to be a sponsor section,

418
00:40:17,980 --> 00:40:22,940
then I can understand that. I also have heard some people's comments

419
00:40:22,940 --> 00:40:26,040
about the banner at the bottom being too busy,

420
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,160
and I think I can sometimes maybe agree,

421
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:32,240
but these types of things take tuning. We'll figure it out.

422
00:40:32,240 --> 00:40:36,240
Yeah, yeah, I'd say so. What else I got?

423
00:40:36,240 --> 00:40:40,320
Maybe there's something here for Luke. I think I remember one.

424
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:49,280
All right, one moment. I know I've got one here for Luke.

425
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:54,000
Hey, WAN, my favorite flavor of DLL pickles.

426
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,200
Question for Luke. I've got it.

427
00:40:57,720 --> 00:41:02,620
Never mind you, Luke, you get nothing. Yeah, okay, this is crazy.

428
00:41:02,620 --> 00:41:05,580
Okay, here we go, here we go. So cbc.ca.

429
00:41:06,940 --> 00:41:12,260
Clark's political history. Clark has been taking French lessons for several months

430
00:41:12,260 --> 00:41:16,300
according to a source close to her. That's not a political history.

431
00:41:16,300 --> 00:41:21,300
That's pandering nonsense. The former premier has already made two trips

432
00:41:21,300 --> 00:41:24,580
to the Sejet de Jean-Claire in Quebec

433
00:41:24,580 --> 00:41:29,740
and plans to return them the coming months to improve her French skills. Okay, that's just the same thing that you just said.

434
00:41:29,740 --> 00:41:33,740
Okay, here we go. She has launched a TikTok account in the last month.

435
00:41:33,740 --> 00:41:37,300
What, are you gonna get to this at some point?

436
00:41:37,300 --> 00:41:40,980
That's good, I want my, you know. Or is this just gonna be puffery?

437
00:41:40,980 --> 00:41:45,220
A word that we all learned recently. Okay, let's continue. I want my prime minister to have a TikTok account.

438
00:41:45,220 --> 00:41:50,980
If they don't, I'm not voting for it. In the most recent post, she encouraged British Columbians to vote.

439
00:41:50,980 --> 00:41:54,780
Okay, where are we gonna get to the history? Every politician on the planet has done that.

440
00:41:54,780 --> 00:41:57,980
Ah, yes, during her six years as premier,

441
00:41:57,980 --> 00:42:02,820
she built a reputation as an environmentally conscious, fiscally prudent liberate.

442
00:42:02,820 --> 00:42:07,300
How do you champion the mining and oil industries while being environmentally conscious?

443
00:42:07,300 --> 00:42:11,100
Okay, sure. She resigned in 2017.

444
00:42:12,180 --> 00:42:16,220
She resigned nothing. She got booted the fuck out.

445
00:42:16,220 --> 00:42:20,140
It was a historical defeat. Historical.

446
00:42:20,140 --> 00:42:24,600
Sorry, let's continue. She resigned in 2017 when her minority government

447
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:28,620
was defeated by an NDP confidence motion. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

448
00:42:28,620 --> 00:42:31,740
What happened was we the people sent you

449
00:42:31,740 --> 00:42:35,260
fucking packing is what happened. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

450
00:42:36,380 --> 00:42:39,860
The new Democrats then took over the province with the support of the Green Party.

451
00:42:39,860 --> 00:42:43,140
Her departure from politics left the BC Liberal Party in disarray.

452
00:42:43,140 --> 00:42:49,580
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Again, her leadership left the party in disarray

453
00:42:49,660 --> 00:42:53,500
unable to win an election. That's what actually happened.

454
00:42:53,500 --> 00:42:56,060
To the point where it died. Yes.

455
00:42:57,060 --> 00:43:00,820
It's gone. In April, 2023, it officially rebranded

456
00:43:00,820 --> 00:43:04,300
and became BC United until it dissolved altogether

457
00:43:04,300 --> 00:43:09,660
on the eve of the most recent election campaign. They weren't a part of this election.

458
00:43:09,660 --> 00:43:14,580
Oh, man. Okay, anyway, during the Conservative leadership mission

459
00:43:14,580 --> 00:43:17,660
for the Nationalist, okay.

460
00:43:17,660 --> 00:43:23,420
She's a regular federal politics commentator on several English language television and radio networks

461
00:43:23,420 --> 00:43:27,940
including CTV, CBC and Global. She also works as a guest speaker across Canada.

462
00:43:27,940 --> 00:43:30,980
That right there is all you need to know

463
00:43:30,980 --> 00:43:34,620
about how someone's career ended in politics.

464
00:43:34,620 --> 00:43:39,620
You went from leading one of the major regions of a country

465
00:43:40,460 --> 00:43:43,620
to being a guest speaker on like

466
00:43:43,620 --> 00:43:46,620
ancient legacy media nonsense.

467
00:43:46,620 --> 00:43:50,340
She has a TikTok. Good, yeah. Which she just launched.

468
00:43:50,340 --> 00:43:54,900
Please. Anyway. So, yeah.

469
00:43:57,020 --> 00:44:02,500
Cool. Rich message. By the way, I'm gonna take these off. They were kind of for my look with the tech bro vest

470
00:44:02,500 --> 00:44:06,220
but their prescription and my eyes are tired now. Yeah, yeah.

471
00:44:06,220 --> 00:44:13,100
Yeah. All right. Hit me, Dan. I've got a new baby and cargo pockets have come in clutch.

472
00:44:13,100 --> 00:44:18,980
Excited to try the pants. At what age did you let your kids start using screens?

473
00:44:18,980 --> 00:44:22,220
And also thoughts on all the smart baby devices out there?

474
00:44:22,580 --> 00:44:26,740
I let them start pretty young because I like to sleep in.

475
00:44:26,740 --> 00:44:31,340
We were a lot more controlling about what kind of content they watched in the early days.

476
00:44:31,340 --> 00:44:35,460
Now we've relaxed things a little bit. So they allocate screen time.

477
00:44:35,460 --> 00:44:39,060
They're older now though. Yes. But I just mean from the first to the third.

478
00:44:39,060 --> 00:44:42,900
I'm just clarifying, yeah. We just were like, we can't.

479
00:44:42,900 --> 00:44:46,660
Yeah. But we allocate screen time based on time they spend

480
00:44:46,660 --> 00:44:51,300
doing other things. So if they practice piano for 20 minutes

481
00:44:51,340 --> 00:44:55,020
then they can earn 20 minutes of screen time. Question for you. Yes.

482
00:44:55,020 --> 00:44:58,260
Do you ever worry about having things like screen time

483
00:44:58,260 --> 00:45:05,580
be a reward vector? Creating kind of an unnatural sort of desire for it

484
00:45:05,580 --> 00:45:09,580
and almost making it more addictive. When they no longer have the parental rules

485
00:45:09,580 --> 00:45:12,780
and they move out then, you know, do you ever worry about that?

486
00:45:12,780 --> 00:45:15,980
So that's Yvonne's worries about that more than I do

487
00:45:15,980 --> 00:45:19,220
because she was a TV on all the time household.

488
00:45:19,220 --> 00:45:23,060
The TV was like the fireplace in their household. It was just always on.

489
00:45:23,060 --> 00:45:28,060
It was the light and sound that was just in the living room

490
00:45:28,700 --> 00:45:33,180
that people kind of gathered around. And she had and has no problem like sitting

491
00:45:33,180 --> 00:45:36,860
and doing homework in front of the TV while a show is on.

492
00:45:38,020 --> 00:45:44,140
And meanwhile, my family was the polar opposite. Screens could not even be turned on until after dinnertime.

493
00:45:44,140 --> 00:45:47,180
And even then the time allocation to them

494
00:45:47,180 --> 00:45:52,740
was tightly controlled. And in both cases, households that have gone her way

495
00:45:52,740 --> 00:45:59,500
and households that have gone my way, I've seen kids come out of those same households both ways.

496
00:45:59,900 --> 00:46:03,820
So, I don't know, it might just kind of be what it is.

497
00:46:03,820 --> 00:46:07,500
Some people have a very addictive personality. Some people don't.

498
00:46:07,500 --> 00:46:09,820
I think generally philosophically,

499
00:46:11,820 --> 00:46:15,460
I am in favor of building good habits.

500
00:46:15,460 --> 00:46:18,580
And building the habit of doing something productive

501
00:46:18,580 --> 00:46:22,660
with your time rather than, you know, vegetating at every possible opportunity.

502
00:46:22,660 --> 00:46:27,220
I feel like it makes sense. I was just wondering, like, yeah, like had it been thought about. But something that Yvonne and I have talked about

503
00:46:27,220 --> 00:46:33,980
and actually have done, I think a couple of times is having like structure holidays.

504
00:46:33,980 --> 00:46:37,780
So you just, you have, okay, we're off this week.

505
00:46:37,780 --> 00:46:40,820
And, you know, it's, we're on vacation

506
00:46:40,820 --> 00:46:45,060
and you can have as much screen time as you want. You could stare at your computer, your phone,

507
00:46:45,060 --> 00:46:48,460
your laptop, whatever the TV, we don't care.

508
00:46:48,460 --> 00:46:52,420
Get it out of your system for a bit. And then, you know, when we're back to school next week,

509
00:46:52,420 --> 00:46:55,700
it's back to the, so, I don't know, there's.

510
00:46:57,900 --> 00:47:01,540
All right, Artie, I was a screen on kid and now I'm chronically online.

511
00:47:02,740 --> 00:47:06,060
There you go. Yeah. But I mean, he made a career out of it.

512
00:47:06,060 --> 00:47:09,420
He's got 100,000 subscribers on his channel. Oh, really?

513
00:47:09,420 --> 00:47:12,780
Yeah, you didn't know that? No. Yeah, Artie has a channel. That's pretty sick.

514
00:47:13,620 --> 00:47:18,820
What was I gonna say? I think the incredibly hyper-addictive nature

515
00:47:18,820 --> 00:47:21,860
of things like TikTok is a little bit different of an arena than the TV was being on.

516
00:47:21,860 --> 00:47:26,980
Oh, they're not allowed on TikTok. Okay, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, Facebook.

517
00:47:26,980 --> 00:47:32,060
YouTube Shorts, the one watched too much YouTube

518
00:47:32,060 --> 00:47:36,820
for a bit, not Shorts. He was mostly into like Minecraft let's plays

519
00:47:36,820 --> 00:47:41,500
and stuff like that, yeah. But we've talked to him about that recently.

520
00:47:41,500 --> 00:47:43,260
We've kind of cut down on that.

521
00:47:46,380 --> 00:47:50,180
So some of those hyper-addictive doom-scrolly ones,

522
00:47:50,180 --> 00:47:53,220
we basically are like, no. Yeah.

523
00:47:53,220 --> 00:47:56,900
But yeah, at some point they're gonna have to figure it out, you're right.

524
00:47:56,900 --> 00:47:59,340
It's weird, it's, that's the,

525
00:48:01,260 --> 00:48:04,940
when talking about kids right now, there's like, I mean, there's all those conversations

526
00:48:04,940 --> 00:48:09,420
around Cocomelon and how just like brain-destroying Cocomelon is.

527
00:48:09,420 --> 00:48:12,740
Is Cocomelon bad? I don't even know Cocomelon really. As far as my understanding goes,

528
00:48:12,740 --> 00:48:15,340
Cocomelon is specifically designed to

529
00:48:16,420 --> 00:48:18,200
just crank screen time.

530
00:48:19,540 --> 00:48:23,300
And it's like actually very brain-roddy for kids. Oh, interesting.

531
00:48:23,300 --> 00:48:28,020
I don't know much about it. My kids, I think, missed the Cocomelon window.

532
00:48:28,020 --> 00:48:31,900
I don't want to say too much stuff because I'm not, I don't have a kid's. I'm not super well read up on this,

533
00:48:31,900 --> 00:48:35,420
but yeah, people are saying Bluey's good. As far as my understanding goes,

534
00:48:35,420 --> 00:48:40,660
Bluey's pretty good. There's that teacher, that former teacher. Yeah, yeah, she's supposed to be really good.

535
00:48:40,700 --> 00:48:44,700
Miss Rachel or whatever, she's supposed to be really good. Cocomelon, apparently there's like

536
00:48:44,700 --> 00:48:48,740
measured decreases in like development

537
00:48:48,740 --> 00:48:52,580
from Hoji and Cocomelon, yeah. Oh, wow, okay. It's really bad, yeah.

538
00:48:52,580 --> 00:48:56,380
But again, I don't, don't take my word on that. I'm not super well read up on this.

539
00:48:56,380 --> 00:48:59,580
I just, I've- Dude, I came across- It's an interesting topic to me.

540
00:48:59,580 --> 00:49:03,940
I came across another like family vlog channel recently

541
00:49:03,940 --> 00:49:07,860
that's like exploding. They're doing like 300, 400 million views a month

542
00:49:07,860 --> 00:49:12,900
or something like that. And it's pretty much all shorts of these two little girls

543
00:49:12,900 --> 00:49:16,500
like acting out skits, like, you know,

544
00:49:16,500 --> 00:49:20,860
there's one where she rides a scooter in the house and like pretends to fall over

545
00:49:20,860 --> 00:49:24,420
and it's like, don't ride scooters in the house. And it's supposed to be like a good lesson or whatever,

546
00:49:24,420 --> 00:49:28,260
but I'm just, I'm just looking at it going like, okay, how much are these kids getting paid?

547
00:49:28,260 --> 00:49:32,260
Like family vlogging is actually a terrible, terrible thing.

548
00:49:32,260 --> 00:49:35,980
It needs to go away like immediately, like legislatively.

549
00:49:35,980 --> 00:49:39,940
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

550
00:49:39,940 --> 00:49:42,380
I just make my kids only watch LTT.

551
00:49:44,220 --> 00:49:47,860
Sure. Oh boy. Oh man. Okay.

552
00:49:49,580 --> 00:49:53,820
Oh, we have some announcements. Well, let's do some announcements, shall we?

553
00:49:55,380 --> 00:50:00,060
LTTstore.com secret shopper is now live.

554
00:50:00,060 --> 00:50:04,660
Whoa, right now on Floatplane.

555
00:50:04,660 --> 00:50:09,420
Hold on. The general audience will get it next week, but let's watch a bit of the intro.

556
00:50:10,620 --> 00:50:14,740
I love this thumbnail. That is pretty great.

557
00:50:14,740 --> 00:50:18,100
Yeah. Did you know that they make them with just the glasses and the mustache?

558
00:50:18,100 --> 00:50:22,300
That's my real nose. See, look, I guarantee you can't tell the difference.

559
00:50:22,300 --> 00:50:26,980
Oh my God. Me wearing a fake big nose really does feel unnecessary,

560
00:50:26,980 --> 00:50:31,100
though. Is that working? I can't hear anything.

561
00:50:31,100 --> 00:50:35,300
You've got audio playing. That's the whole video. Are we, am I supposed to be playing the whole video?

562
00:50:35,300 --> 00:50:39,020
Yeah, what? I thought it was supposed to be a clip. What am I supposed to be doing here, Dan? What's going on?

563
00:50:39,020 --> 00:50:42,260
I don't know. I don't write this. Let's watch a bit of the intro, it says.

564
00:50:42,260 --> 00:50:45,700
Okay, sure, yeah, we can watch a bit of the intro. Sure, okay, is it working?

565
00:50:47,140 --> 00:50:51,300
Yeah, I want audio. We need audio. Oh, I have other stuff playing.

566
00:50:51,300 --> 00:50:54,540
Well, there's your problem right there. All right, I got it, I got it, I got you.

567
00:50:54,540 --> 00:50:57,620
I'm picking up what you're throwing down, Mr. Dan. Okay, we good?

568
00:50:57,620 --> 00:51:03,820
I think so. Okay, guys, this was one of the biggest risks,

569
00:51:04,500 --> 00:51:08,980
I think we've ever taken. And I understand, I understand

570
00:51:08,980 --> 00:51:12,820
how you could look at the premise and think. Oh, they shopped at their own store,

571
00:51:12,820 --> 00:51:16,460
they're just gonna make sure it goes well. But as you're about to see,

572
00:51:16,460 --> 00:51:20,140
we intentionally built this in a way

573
00:51:20,140 --> 00:51:24,300
that forced us to be held accountable regardless of the outcome.

574
00:51:24,300 --> 00:51:26,340
And so yeah, here it comes.

575
00:51:29,260 --> 00:51:34,980
We can't here it because we have to do that. We have to show our series and have all their worst problems brought to light.

576
00:51:34,980 --> 00:51:38,860
But after today, I won't have to imagine it.

577
00:51:38,860 --> 00:51:45,660
And neither will Nick, because I paid five of you to secret shop our store

578
00:51:45,660 --> 00:51:52,580
and I'm sitting with the creator warehouse head of product, Nick Light, to enjoy the results first.

579
00:51:53,940 --> 00:51:57,420
Nick looks genuinely uncomfortable. He doesn't know what it is.

580
00:51:57,420 --> 00:52:01,140
Oh, Nick. He didn't know. Really?

581
00:52:01,140 --> 00:52:04,380
All he knew was that he was going to help co-host a video.

582
00:52:05,220 --> 00:52:08,820
So he sat down, he found out when I said that. Holy crap.

583
00:52:08,820 --> 00:52:13,420
You know how much I value genuine reactions on camera.

584
00:52:13,420 --> 00:52:17,260
You know the lengths that I will go to. The number of times that people are like,

585
00:52:17,260 --> 00:52:21,580
fake, fake, fake. You're just actually f***ing idiots.

586
00:52:21,580 --> 00:52:26,580
Like, I care so much about capturing real reactions.

587
00:52:26,980 --> 00:52:30,420
We're in our mid-30s. I've known Nick since we were in grade eight.

588
00:52:30,420 --> 00:52:34,100
He was very uncomfortable. Oh, yeah.

589
00:52:34,100 --> 00:52:37,340
Oh, yeah. Oh, man.

590
00:52:37,340 --> 00:52:42,100
Enjoy, because I got a sneak peek and it's not all sunshine and rainbows.

591
00:52:42,100 --> 00:52:44,780
Unlike this segue to our sponsor.

592
00:52:46,020 --> 00:52:50,780
This is a star. Did it knock over? I'm so incredibly curious now.

593
00:52:50,780 --> 00:52:55,300
I'm almost like annoyed that we have to keep doing land show. I don't want to go watch it.

594
00:52:55,300 --> 00:53:01,580
Well, there is one way to do so. You will just have to subscribe to Floatplane.

595
00:53:01,620 --> 00:53:04,900
Dude, don't be upset. This is promoting Floatplane. You should be very supportive of that.

596
00:53:04,900 --> 00:53:09,820
Yeah, I just want to go watch it right now. I know, I know. LMG.GG slash Floatplane, while you're there,

597
00:53:09,820 --> 00:53:14,700
you can pick up an FP exclusive Dino-Sore shirt.

598
00:53:14,700 --> 00:53:17,940
Designed by the one and only. By the way, it's a little bit confusing

599
00:53:17,940 --> 00:53:23,100
because when you go through our T-shirt section, all of the shirts are depicted with their front

600
00:53:23,100 --> 00:53:26,940
and then this one is depicted with the back. So the Floatplane logo is on the front.

601
00:53:26,940 --> 00:53:30,700
Yes. The Dinosaur Plane thing. Designed by the one and only Sarah Butt.

602
00:53:30,940 --> 00:53:35,580
Which I think was the right choice. It's just confusing. There's a couple of other quick things for us to announce.

603
00:53:35,580 --> 00:53:39,540
We have a correction in our video on buying every tech ad we saw for a month.

604
00:53:39,540 --> 00:53:44,380
We demonstrated one product, the birdie personal CO2 alarm incorrectly.

605
00:53:44,380 --> 00:53:50,900
Specifically, the wall mount was not installed and it doesn't work unless it's attached to the wall mount.

606
00:53:50,900 --> 00:53:54,780
So we removed that section from the original video to avoid misrepresenting the product.

607
00:53:54,780 --> 00:54:01,380
We have reconducted our original test with the wall mount attached and released a YouTube short showing it activating.

608
00:54:01,380 --> 00:54:07,860
Da da da da da da da. It's still a product that you probably shouldn't buy

609
00:54:08,300 --> 00:54:13,700
because it's $200 for a CO2 detector. It doesn't have any kind of like screen on it

610
00:54:13,700 --> 00:54:16,420
or logging or anything.

611
00:54:17,460 --> 00:54:22,460
It doesn't detect any other potentially harmful gases.

612
00:54:22,460 --> 00:54:29,540
There's like way better value options that are way more effective and do, yeah, work way better.

613
00:54:29,540 --> 00:54:34,540
But anyway, yeah, it definitely does what it says it does.

614
00:54:35,580 --> 00:54:41,300
So yeah, good for them. Okay, oh, also it's folding month.

615
00:54:41,300 --> 00:54:45,460
Folding month begins November 1st and the LMG community is once again participating

616
00:54:45,460 --> 00:54:49,940
if you'd like to sign up. There's a post with information on the forum which Dan is gonna post for you guys

617
00:54:49,940 --> 00:54:55,020
in all the various chats as a company. We're also contributing $200 LTT Store gift cards

618
00:54:55,020 --> 00:54:58,100
for prizes, signups close next Monday.

619
00:54:58,100 --> 00:55:04,500
So please join the team. Finally, let's talk about AI, crypto and biohacking.

620
00:55:04,780 --> 00:55:08,780
Yeah. Does it look like we wanna talk about those things?

621
00:55:08,780 --> 00:55:12,780
It should because we're wearing the new tech bro vest from LTT Store.

622
00:55:12,780 --> 00:55:16,580
Something, something dogecoin. It's insulated with the same 3D down

623
00:55:16,580 --> 00:55:22,220
that you would find on our old 3D down jacket, meaning that it is surprisingly warm

624
00:55:22,220 --> 00:55:26,660
for how light the vest actually is. It's also made of a water resistant material

625
00:55:26,660 --> 00:55:30,180
and has a soft tricot knit back, which is quite comfy.

626
00:55:30,180 --> 00:55:35,420
And it's designed to be able to be worn in the office over a button up or polo like many tech bros do.

627
00:55:35,420 --> 00:55:39,380
So you can dress it down casually. You can lay it on top of a t-shirt, hoodie or sweater.

628
00:55:39,380 --> 00:55:43,080
It's totally up to you. It is kind of outer wear though,

629
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:46,620
because of, you know, the material. It's made of the same stuff as- Wake up at 4.30 a.m.

630
00:55:47,620 --> 00:55:52,420
Made of the same stuff as our 3D down jacket. Thank you for that. And like most of our outer wear,

631
00:55:52,420 --> 00:55:57,020
it's loaded with YKK zippered pockets. So you can always have your essentials on hand.

632
00:55:57,020 --> 00:56:02,500
Task-based AI is the future. Available now at LMG.GG slash tech bro.

633
00:56:02,500 --> 00:56:06,060
So here's Nate actually wears one of these vests every day.

634
00:56:06,060 --> 00:56:09,460
So this was like the most appropriate possible model for us to have here.

635
00:56:09,460 --> 00:56:14,060
I was gonna say, it looks quite natural on it actually. It's got a Sarah Ponsy.

636
00:56:14,060 --> 00:56:17,700
Oh, just, okay, I'm sorry.

637
00:56:17,700 --> 00:56:22,700
Knowing Nate, this picture is way funnier than if you don't know Nate.

638
00:56:22,700 --> 00:56:27,900
He's working on an electronics engineering project for us that is very, very exciting.

639
00:56:27,900 --> 00:56:33,780
And he 100% wears a vest and 100% would look exactly like that.

640
00:56:33,780 --> 00:56:39,380
Anyway, oh my God. They definitely picked the best people to model this.

641
00:56:39,380 --> 00:56:42,380
There's Sean from the Infra team. Dude, right though?

642
00:56:42,380 --> 00:56:47,420
Yeah. It's the tech bro vest. The reason it's not cheap is because it's like really nice.

643
00:56:47,420 --> 00:56:51,700
3D down. It's basically our 3D down jacket without the sleeves.

644
00:56:51,700 --> 00:56:56,820
Yeah. So there you go. Nothing says disruptive innovation like the tech bro vest.

645
00:56:56,820 --> 00:57:00,700
Oh my God. Okay, the team working on the copy

646
00:57:00,700 --> 00:57:04,620
has actually gotten really, really funny over the last little bit.

647
00:57:04,620 --> 00:57:07,780
I love it. Nice.

648
00:57:07,780 --> 00:57:10,980
Nice. Got the offsite laptop bag.

649
00:57:11,860 --> 00:57:15,020
AirPods. That's what a guy who's company was just reviewed looks like.

650
00:57:15,020 --> 00:57:19,660
Yeah. All right, cool. All right, what else we got going on, Dan?

651
00:57:19,660 --> 00:57:23,660
What are we doing? All right, I think I do a topic. Let's do a topic, shall we?

652
00:57:24,980 --> 00:57:29,980
NVIDIA to ship one billion risk five cores this year.

653
00:57:30,780 --> 00:57:33,940
NVIDIA gave a keynote speech at the risk five summit

654
00:57:33,940 --> 00:57:38,900
with the speaker estimating that the company expects to ship about a billion risk five cores

655
00:57:38,900 --> 00:57:42,580
across its GPUs, CPUs, SOCs, and other products.

656
00:57:42,580 --> 00:57:47,620
Slides of the talk were shared on Twitter by Nick Brown, senior research fellow at University of Edinburgh's

657
00:57:47,620 --> 00:57:51,380
EPCC Supercomputing Center. The company has been switching

658
00:57:51,380 --> 00:57:55,820
from its proprietary microcontrollers to ones that are built on the open source ISA

659
00:57:55,820 --> 00:57:58,940
since at least 2015 and have now revealed

660
00:57:58,940 --> 00:58:03,380
that they have fully phased out their former Falcon microcontroller

661
00:58:03,380 --> 00:58:06,580
in favor of custom risk five cores. Sick.

662
00:58:06,580 --> 00:58:13,620
As I told, there are 10 to 40 of the cores on every NVIDIA chip, depending on the chip's complexity.

663
00:58:13,620 --> 00:58:18,980
The company has developed at least three risk five microcontroller cores and more than 20

664
00:58:18,980 --> 00:58:23,620
custom risk five extensions. NVIDIA GPUs have apparently had risk five GPU system

665
00:58:23,620 --> 00:58:27,100
processors since Turing. Really? I didn't know that.

666
00:58:27,100 --> 00:58:31,780
This is super cool. This is super cool. Because NVIDIA has talked a lot about all of the,

667
00:58:31,780 --> 00:58:35,940
you know, the monitoring that they do and the load balancing and all the cool stuff

668
00:58:35,980 --> 00:58:41,020
that they're doing on their GPU dies. But they haven't said that they're using risk five,

669
00:58:41,020 --> 00:58:45,220
at least not way back then. I didn't know. I didn't know.

670
00:58:45,220 --> 00:58:48,380
Risk five, dude. That's what somebody knew.

671
00:58:48,380 --> 00:58:52,340
Risk five is freaking everywhere.

672
00:58:52,340 --> 00:58:58,140
Yeah. It's really exciting. And especially if you look at the way

673
00:58:58,140 --> 00:59:05,020
that the relationship between ARM and at least one of their partners is going right now.

674
00:59:05,020 --> 00:59:08,460
Dude, it is not a good time for ARM

675
00:59:08,460 --> 00:59:14,340
to show any kind of weakness. It's a good time for ARM to be super, super

676
00:59:14,340 --> 00:59:20,900
magnanimous and easy to work with because risk five has no licensing fees,

677
00:59:20,900 --> 00:59:22,500
no licensing fees.

678
00:59:23,900 --> 00:59:27,460
I'm excited. I am really excited about a risk five future.

679
00:59:27,460 --> 00:59:32,180
I've still been dailying my Snapdragon Windows laptop.

680
00:59:32,180 --> 00:59:35,300
Ever since the challenge ended, I just, I don't know,

681
00:59:35,300 --> 00:59:38,980
but they took the AMD framework that I built on ShortCircuit

682
00:59:38,980 --> 00:59:42,780
because they needed it for something. And then they apparently needed it for something

683
00:59:42,780 --> 00:59:48,340
for a while. So I've just been using my Snapdragon and I have the occasional issue with it.

684
00:59:48,340 --> 00:59:51,620
But overall, I'm blown away at how usable it is

685
00:59:51,620 --> 00:59:56,620
and seeing translation layers, work to run programs

686
01:00:00,020 --> 01:00:03,660
that major companies like NVIDIA are making into risk five

687
01:00:03,660 --> 01:00:05,620
and making it better, making it viable.

688
01:00:07,420 --> 01:00:12,180
I'm pretty hopeful. It's a good sign.

689
01:00:12,180 --> 01:00:15,100
Having a big company behind a project like that

690
01:00:16,460 --> 01:00:19,820
can sometimes be scary, but often gives it long-term legs

691
01:00:19,820 --> 01:00:24,740
that just being open-sourced doesn't, even though I'm saying that about a project

692
01:00:24,740 --> 01:00:29,380
that has existed for a very long time. You need industry consortiums to kind of get together

693
01:00:29,380 --> 01:00:32,580
and say, okay, okay, this is open-source and like it's super cool,

694
01:00:32,580 --> 01:00:35,780
but how are we gonna push it forward?

695
01:00:35,780 --> 01:00:38,180
You need cooperation. Yeah, that's good.

696
01:00:39,580 --> 01:00:42,940
Squarespace going private? Sure, why don't you talk about that?

697
01:00:42,940 --> 01:00:46,180
Permira, Permaira, something?

698
01:00:46,180 --> 01:00:50,500
A private equity firm has purchased all available common stock for Squarespace,

699
01:00:50,500 --> 01:00:53,500
meaning that Squarespace is no longer a publicly traded company.

700
01:00:53,500 --> 01:00:58,060
Squarespace went public three years ago in 2021 and yo-yo to fair amount after that.

701
01:00:58,060 --> 01:01:03,700
It reached a market cap of $8 billion, $2 billion less than the company's peak private valuation.

702
01:01:03,700 --> 01:01:08,340
In 2022, its market cap fell off a cliff, hitting $2 billion,

703
01:01:08,340 --> 01:01:12,740
which while still a lot of money is significantly less than 10,

704
01:01:12,740 --> 01:01:16,020
before gradually returning to $5 billion,

705
01:01:16,020 --> 01:01:20,660
which again is quite a swing. $3 billion is kind of a lot.

706
01:01:20,660 --> 01:01:25,900
And then Permaira's purchase is worth a combined total of $7.2 billion,

707
01:01:25,900 --> 01:01:30,500
likely indicating a degree of confidence that this rebound wasn't accidental.

708
01:01:30,500 --> 01:01:34,580
It's unclear what, if anything, will change for Squarespace clients.

709
01:01:34,580 --> 01:01:38,140
And my dyslexia read that as SpongeBob at first.

710
01:01:38,140 --> 01:01:41,740
Our discussion question is, I have no idea what Linus was going for

711
01:01:41,740 --> 01:01:45,260
when he sent this story. Does this affect our company somehow?

712
01:01:46,140 --> 01:01:50,340
Well, Squarespace has been one of our longest running partners.

713
01:01:50,340 --> 01:01:54,260
Are they? No, not quite. Close to the longest, but not the longest.

714
01:01:54,260 --> 01:01:58,460
Yeah, they go way back with LTT.

715
01:01:58,500 --> 01:02:02,540
And I guess all I'm trying to say is,

716
01:02:04,700 --> 01:02:07,740
Permaira, please don't screw it up.

717
01:02:09,340 --> 01:02:13,700
Okay. You've also got a lot on your hands now because of the whole domains thing.

718
01:02:13,700 --> 01:02:17,700
Yeah. There's a lot of people that scrambled to leave

719
01:02:17,700 --> 01:02:21,940
when domains went from Google domains to Squarespace. And then now there's a lot of people scrambling to leave

720
01:02:21,940 --> 01:02:25,220
that domains are going from Squarespace to Squarespace still,

721
01:02:25,220 --> 01:02:28,660
but public to private. People are looking for alternatives.

722
01:02:28,660 --> 01:02:34,780
It's a thing. Yeah. So, you know, just don't bung it up, please.

723
01:02:34,780 --> 01:02:37,940
We like working with Squarespace. We like using the product.

724
01:02:40,220 --> 01:02:44,700
Let a good thing be a good thing. Why don't you be the smart private equity firm?

725
01:02:45,820 --> 01:02:49,940
CatOS, or CatTalk, whoa.

726
01:02:49,940 --> 01:02:53,060
I think I just realized that CatOS has another T in it.

727
01:02:53,060 --> 01:02:55,660
I don't think I ever registered that before, but okay.

728
01:02:57,100 --> 01:03:03,180
A lot of people can't go to Cloudflare because Cloudflare doesn't actually support that many domains.

729
01:03:03,180 --> 01:03:06,500
Like Cloudflare doesn't support .ca. Oh, okay.

730
01:03:06,500 --> 01:03:10,580
Yeah, that's a problem for Canadians. Yeah. So we can't just have Cloudflare.

731
01:03:10,580 --> 01:03:13,740
Right. So we have to use something else.

732
01:03:13,740 --> 01:03:17,580
And previously we did use Google domains. Right. And now obviously we don't.

733
01:03:17,580 --> 01:03:22,660
And we don't use Squarespace domains either. No. We used like GoDaddy way back in the day.

734
01:03:22,660 --> 01:03:27,740
Oh, well you did. Yeah, I know. We don't use it at all anymore.

735
01:03:27,740 --> 01:03:32,100
Yeah, no, I know. Oh man.

736
01:03:32,100 --> 01:03:37,420
I don't remember the name off the top of my head. What's the, do you know the name, Dan, or the new thing we use for .ca domains?

737
01:03:37,420 --> 01:03:40,100
I don't remember the name. Oh my gosh. Danicapatchet said it was good.

738
01:03:42,100 --> 01:03:44,340
If only she was good at racing. Oh no.

739
01:03:47,500 --> 01:03:52,940
She was pretty good. Oh, you know what? Speaking of lady race drivers,

740
01:03:52,980 --> 01:03:56,220
you know who I would love to see tackle that?

741
01:03:56,220 --> 01:04:00,100
Unless she's already done it and I missed it. I'd love to see Michelle Kari do it.

742
01:04:01,500 --> 01:04:04,860
Just, no, I don't know. I don't believe you.

743
01:04:04,860 --> 01:04:08,500
It started with it. It was like Grange or something. It's gonna bother me now.

744
01:04:11,740 --> 01:04:17,220
What are you talking about? What are you guys even trying to figure out right now? The domain thing.

745
01:04:17,220 --> 01:04:20,700
Oh yeah. The domain thing. What are you guys even talking about? The registrar.

746
01:04:20,700 --> 01:04:24,780
We use a different registrar now. Well yeah, but we're not gonna tell people what we use anyway, are we?

747
01:04:24,780 --> 01:04:29,700
I mean, we tell people that we use Cloudflare for almost everything, which is way bigger honeypot than this would be.

748
01:04:29,700 --> 01:04:33,460
That's not what a honeypot is. Okay. Got him.

749
01:04:33,460 --> 01:04:37,740
Could be a honeypot. Why don't we just nod? I don't think we have to- I can nod if you want,

750
01:04:37,740 --> 01:04:42,540
but it's also pretty easy to figure out. Yeah, that's fine. I just mean, why are we drawing attention to this?

751
01:04:42,540 --> 01:04:45,820
Fair enough. You know better. It's fine.

752
01:04:47,700 --> 01:04:51,100
Oh my God. Lucas, now the security risk.

753
01:04:52,580 --> 01:04:55,940
Sure. Oh, dude. Dude. The hat has been transferred.

754
01:04:55,940 --> 01:05:00,500
I'm passing the torch. I put the vest on, and it immediately became a security risk.

755
01:05:01,780 --> 01:05:03,220
Don't get out of this stock.

756
01:05:05,140 --> 01:05:06,340
Short LTT.

757
01:05:08,300 --> 01:05:09,140
Okay.

758
01:05:12,580 --> 01:05:13,420
Oh no.

759
01:05:16,340 --> 01:05:20,180
Oh, thanks. I missed something. No, I don't have to look it up. I appreciate that.

760
01:05:23,020 --> 01:05:27,220
You can't have inside jokes on a podcast, you guys.

761
01:05:27,220 --> 01:05:29,740
AJ just said it in public chat.

762
01:05:38,740 --> 01:05:42,740
Oh man. All right. The show is brought to you by JumpCloud.

763
01:05:42,740 --> 01:05:46,300
I know it's public, yeah, someone's like it's public info. I know it. You can just look it up.

764
01:05:46,300 --> 01:05:51,020
I just mean, I just mean normally we just don't talk about it at all.

765
01:05:51,060 --> 01:05:55,460
We just don't bring it up. Maybe we need JumpCloud to help with our idea.

766
01:05:55,460 --> 01:05:57,060
We don't know what we're doing.

767
01:05:58,660 --> 01:06:02,500
Yes, you can elicit a domain. I know, it just, oh my God.

768
01:06:02,500 --> 01:06:05,540
Lucas is wrong. He's not wrong. It's just very funny.

769
01:06:05,540 --> 01:06:08,700
Do we have to use multiple? Cause some of them don't have like Canadian domains.

770
01:06:08,700 --> 01:06:13,020
I don't even know. You know what? No, no, forget it. No, I'm just gonna make it worse.

771
01:06:13,020 --> 01:06:17,820
You know what? You could probably figure out what data center we're hosted in pretty easily.

772
01:06:17,820 --> 01:06:21,300
I mean, we've said that a bunch of times too. No, you can also. Yeah, but we go out of our way

773
01:06:21,300 --> 01:06:24,460
not to talk about it that much. That is true. And I don't say all of them.

774
01:06:26,580 --> 01:06:29,900
Now you're basically just asking them to figure it out.

775
01:06:29,900 --> 01:06:34,180
Yeah, see? Yeah, you like this? Yeah, now he doesn't like the other side of this coin.

776
01:06:38,100 --> 01:06:41,340
Oh, apparently AJ's stream was delayed. He wasn't there yet.

777
01:06:44,940 --> 01:06:48,660
I don't actually really believe him because our stream delay is really short, but. Yeah, well, he might have been,

778
01:06:48,660 --> 01:06:52,300
no, he might have been reliant. Nope. Okay.

779
01:06:52,300 --> 01:06:56,860
It's not on full play. No DVR. Oh, yeah, but he might have the player open in the chat.

780
01:06:56,860 --> 01:07:00,540
Yeah, he has that technology. He's pretty smart, AJ.

781
01:07:00,540 --> 01:07:04,660
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's when it comes to security.

782
01:07:05,820 --> 01:07:09,180
Yeah. All right.

783
01:07:09,180 --> 01:07:14,020
Our address is 18643. What is this?

784
01:07:14,020 --> 01:07:17,860
External IP. 52 Avenue. 127.0.0.

785
01:07:19,660 --> 01:07:25,380
Oh. All right, the show is brought to you today by JumpCloud.

786
01:07:25,380 --> 01:07:30,380
Managing IT systems can sometimes feel like chasing ghosts.

787
01:07:30,380 --> 01:07:33,500
You think you caught one and another one pops up.

788
01:07:33,500 --> 01:07:37,740
All right, that's me. And that's what I would look like if I joined Scooby and the gang.

789
01:07:39,180 --> 01:07:43,580
But if who you're gonna call is JumpCloud, you'll get your own IT Ghostbuster Squad

790
01:07:43,580 --> 01:07:47,220
zapping problems before they even appear.

791
01:07:47,220 --> 01:07:51,100
JumpCloud is an open directory platform that centralizes your entire tech stack

792
01:07:51,100 --> 01:07:54,300
from user identities to device management access.

793
01:07:54,300 --> 01:07:58,300
Imagine managing Windows, Apple, Linux, and Android devices from one place,

794
01:07:58,300 --> 01:08:02,500
all while working securely from anywhere. My mother's made a name as Smith.

795
01:08:02,500 --> 01:08:05,540
Upgrade your outdated Active Directory.

796
01:08:05,540 --> 01:08:06,380
I'm sorry.

797
01:08:09,260 --> 01:08:13,460
It's great. Sorry, Danny, go ahead. Upgrade your outdated Active Directory

798
01:08:13,460 --> 01:08:17,860
with JumpCloud's cloud-based solution and leave administrative headaches behind.

799
01:08:17,860 --> 01:08:22,380
And they don't just make life easier for your team. They also keep your data safe with strong security features

800
01:08:22,380 --> 01:08:25,540
like hardware-backed authentication and biometric logins.

801
01:08:25,540 --> 01:08:30,660
JumpCloud is IT simplified. Try it out for yourself at the link in the video description.

802
01:08:31,580 --> 01:08:35,740
The show is also brought to you by Fallout 76.

803
01:08:35,740 --> 01:08:39,780
Are you busy this weekend? If not, you will be.

804
01:08:39,780 --> 01:08:45,220
Because you can play Fallout 76 for free from now until the 29th on PC, Xbox,

805
01:08:45,220 --> 01:08:50,140
and PlayStation. Most of you probably already know about Fallout 76,

806
01:08:50,140 --> 01:08:55,740
but for everyone else, it's an online game where you and your friends explore a post-apocalyptic world,

807
01:08:55,740 --> 01:08:59,100
fight monsters, and rebuild after a nuclear war.

808
01:08:59,100 --> 01:09:03,180
It's all about surviving and having fun in the wasteland together.

809
01:09:03,180 --> 01:09:07,420
The game's always getting fresh updates like the Skyline Valley expansion earlier this year

810
01:09:07,420 --> 01:09:13,660
with tons of new content to keep things interesting. So don't miss out on the Fallout Day free play event.

811
01:09:13,660 --> 01:09:16,260
We will have that linked in the video description.

812
01:09:17,500 --> 01:09:20,780
Finally, the show is brought to you by FlexiSpot. Don't you hate when your desk wobbles

813
01:09:20,780 --> 01:09:22,780
like a shopping cart while you're gaming?

814
01:09:25,020 --> 01:09:28,180
Wow. Well, say goodbye to Instability

815
01:09:28,180 --> 01:09:33,940
with our sponsor, FlexiSpot. Their E7 plus standing desk can support up to 540 pounds

816
01:09:33,940 --> 01:09:36,980
static and 440 pounds while lifting.

817
01:09:36,980 --> 01:09:40,860
Even if you were to jump off it for whatever reason, the desk stays rock solid.

818
01:09:40,860 --> 01:09:44,180
Okay, yeah, okay. Thankfully, no one here was doing that.

819
01:09:44,180 --> 01:09:48,540
The desk stays rock solid thanks to its four sturdy legs. That's an innovation for legs.

820
01:09:48,540 --> 01:09:51,980
Huh, who'da funk it? With its, oh right, because a lot of standing desks don't have that.

821
01:09:51,980 --> 01:09:56,780
Meh, okay. With its patented frame design, the E7 plus easily adapts to monitor mounts,

822
01:09:56,780 --> 01:10:00,780
under desk drawers, and keyboard trays. They've also got the C7 ergonomic office chair,

823
01:10:00,780 --> 01:10:04,220
which features a roomy adjustable seat and tons of customization.

824
01:10:04,220 --> 01:10:08,340
You can adjust the headrest, armrests, height, and you can recline to fit your comfort.

825
01:10:08,340 --> 01:10:11,840
Plus, it comes with a 30-day return policy and 10-year warranty.

826
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:16,600
Right now, FlexiSpot is having a sale and you can get an extra discount on the Erguchare with a desk purchase.

827

828
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:24,380

829
01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:30,000
All right. All right, let's get some merch messages in here. Sure, let's do that.

830
01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:35,440
Here's the pickle guys back. Hey, when my favorite flavor of DLL pickles.

831
01:10:35,440 --> 01:10:39,040
Question for Luke. Helldivers2 recently concluded its 63-day promise

832
01:10:39,040 --> 01:10:43,780
to improve the game. Have you had a chance to check it out yet? I feel it's way for fun.

833
01:10:43,780 --> 01:10:45,580
No. No.

834
01:10:48,460 --> 01:10:51,540
No. I probably won't.

835
01:10:51,540 --> 01:10:55,900
I definitely won't. You don't even own it. Well, yeah, but like, whatever.

836
01:10:55,900 --> 01:11:01,660
Buy a game if I feel like it. Just mean I'm not gonna, like, I'm so far about,

837
01:11:01,660 --> 01:11:06,420
dude, picking up a new game these days. When you're not familiar with the meta,

838
01:11:06,420 --> 01:11:10,780
there's like, there's so much, there's so much depth to it. Minmax the death out of everything.

839
01:11:10,780 --> 01:11:16,540
And I'm just kind of like, if I don't have like 25 hours to know life

840
01:11:16,540 --> 01:11:22,060
in the first week or two, realistically, I think I'm always just gonna feel kind of behind.

841
01:11:23,180 --> 01:11:27,500
And I'm just, I don't have time. I mean, it is a PvE game.

842
01:11:27,500 --> 01:11:31,580
Sure. So like, but I don't have a crew to carry me.

843
01:11:31,580 --> 01:11:34,620
You could. Let's do some puggies. What?

844
01:11:34,620 --> 01:11:38,020
What do you mean I could? Let's do puggies. I mean, I haven't played like months, I could carry you, I'm sure.

845
01:11:38,020 --> 01:11:41,900
Wow. Wow, Chad move here.

846
01:11:41,900 --> 01:11:45,140
We also have a bunch of people in the office that play.

847
01:11:45,140 --> 01:11:49,100
I'm sure we could like, pull people out of the window. Yeah, but if I'm gonna, if I'm gonna like, pull people to game at night,

848
01:11:49,100 --> 01:11:52,140
we're gonna- Yeah, exactly, or play tape to tape.

849
01:11:52,140 --> 01:11:58,540
Yeah, we'll play something that- Tape is cocky much. It's not that. It's just like thinking that's not actually really like that hard.

850
01:11:58,540 --> 01:12:00,500
I'm not trying to like, fling people.

851
01:12:02,500 --> 01:12:06,820
The game's not actually hard. I'm not trying to fling people.

852
01:12:06,820 --> 01:12:11,820
Really, do go on. Joe and I used to do the hardest difficulty as a duo

853
01:12:11,820 --> 01:12:15,500
instead of a four stack and it was fine. But I'm not trying to flame anybody.

854
01:12:15,500 --> 01:12:21,340
This guy's a gamer. Wow. The game's super easy if you're a bad actual skill issue.

855
01:12:21,340 --> 01:12:25,100
If only he was as good at super checks as he is at Hell Divers 2.

856
01:12:25,100 --> 01:12:29,420
Wow. Literally stopped playing because he was tired of getting his monkey spanked.

857
01:12:29,420 --> 01:12:33,580
That's not true. My monkey spank?

858
01:12:37,780 --> 01:12:41,300
Oh my goodness. Why are we playing?

859
01:12:41,300 --> 01:12:44,380
Okay, so I have to do bird meds tonight. Yeah.

860
01:12:44,380 --> 01:12:47,700
But then afterwards you invited me to play pool. Yeah, let's play pool.

861
01:12:48,580 --> 01:12:52,380
Is it the Vess? What, no? I got a pool table.

862
01:12:53,460 --> 01:12:57,780
Why, yeah, are you gonna move super checks there? I was thinking that, yeah.

863
01:12:57,780 --> 01:13:02,740
Yeah, just move it to smash champs. Nobody uses it here. Yeah. Yeah, so we'll have super checks there.

864
01:13:02,740 --> 01:13:07,180
I was thinking, I wanna get a pinball machine. Dude, what a flipping,

865
01:13:07,220 --> 01:13:11,620
or rather a whole pinball machine. They can cost as much as a new car.

866
01:13:11,620 --> 01:13:14,780
You get a stern one. If it's like a good one,

867
01:13:14,780 --> 01:13:18,740
it's like the Pirates of the Caribbean special edition

868
01:13:18,740 --> 01:13:21,740
or whatever, or they can be like flip and cheap,

869
01:13:21,740 --> 01:13:26,020
they can be like just a couple grand, even though they're supposedly fully functional.

870
01:13:26,020 --> 01:13:31,300
There's all kinds of modifications people do on them. They'll put more transparent glass on them

871
01:13:31,300 --> 01:13:37,220
and they'll do all kinds of mods and stuff and expand the sound effects

872
01:13:37,220 --> 01:13:42,380
and make it play different music. There's like the depth of pinball machines.

873
01:13:42,380 --> 01:13:45,900
I'm looking at it going like, I would need a consultant

874
01:13:45,900 --> 01:13:49,220
before I would be able to confidently buy a pinball machine.

875
01:13:49,220 --> 01:13:52,820
Just buy a stern one. Yeah, but I don't want it to depreciate three grand

876
01:13:52,820 --> 01:13:56,940
the second I bring it home. Like I'd wanna like pick a good one or something.

877
01:13:56,940 --> 01:14:01,780
Like I don't know. I used stern one. It's fricking wild, dude.

878
01:14:01,780 --> 01:14:09,180
It's wild. But Ice Weasel says Linus jumping into other hobbies

879
01:14:09,180 --> 01:14:13,140
then complaining about how people who love their hobbies pay more for stuff they want is hilarious.

880
01:14:13,140 --> 01:14:18,060
That's not what I'm even talking about. It's not even remotely what I'm talking about.

881
01:14:18,060 --> 01:14:21,460
I'm talking about how it's a rabbit hole. What a crazy take.

882
01:14:21,460 --> 01:14:27,300
And it's something that I don't understand well. I don't know what the value of the different things is

883
01:14:27,300 --> 01:14:30,500
and it seems like I couldn't possibly hope to.

884
01:14:30,500 --> 01:14:34,260
Why is Pirates of the Caribbean worth more than Captain America?

885
01:14:34,260 --> 01:14:38,180
I don't know. Yo, there's. I have no idea.

886
01:14:38,180 --> 01:14:42,980
There's a $16,000 Adams family pinball machine.

887
01:14:42,980 --> 01:14:47,340
Yeah, dude, I didn't even look at brand new. Like I was just looking at like.

888
01:14:47,340 --> 01:14:50,940
This is refurbished. This is 1992 refurbished. The pinball company.

889
01:14:50,940 --> 01:14:56,460
Okay, I wasn't even looking at retailers. So there's a, I wanna say pinheads or something like that.

890
01:14:56,460 --> 01:15:01,220
There's like a community that has a buy-sell trade. And then I was looking at Facebook Marketplace as well.

891
01:15:01,260 --> 01:15:05,340
And just the range. Like they go from two grand to $20,000.

892
01:15:05,340 --> 01:15:07,860
And these are second hand machines. So they're all second hand.

893
01:15:08,940 --> 01:15:12,020
And like they'll, everyone will list like how many hours it has on it or whatever.

894
01:15:12,020 --> 01:15:16,660
But I don't know if there's a way to fake that. Like we found out during the mighty car mods video

895
01:15:16,660 --> 01:15:20,660
that Ploof's car had been odometer swapped.

896
01:15:20,660 --> 01:15:24,420
Oh really? Yeah. So it had like markings from an auto wrecker on it.

897
01:15:24,420 --> 01:15:27,540
Once they pulled it out that were like low kilometers.

898
01:15:27,540 --> 01:15:31,820
It didn't come from that car. That sure as heck wasn't written on at the factory.

899
01:15:31,820 --> 01:15:35,660
So like, I don't know. Can you odometer swap a pinball? I don't know.

900
01:15:38,860 --> 01:15:42,380
Freaking ridiculous. No one makes them anymore. They're all vintage. No, that's not true.

901
01:15:42,380 --> 01:15:46,660
That's totally not true. Stern, I've said it like a bunch of times.

902
01:15:46,660 --> 01:15:50,780
Yeah, you can definitely still buy brand new machines, but I'm not really like a brand new machine kind of guy.

903
01:15:50,780 --> 01:15:55,420
You know that. Like I bought a used super checks machine because I know that I can turn around and like,

904
01:15:55,420 --> 01:15:58,860
and that I kind of, I at least like played the game.

905
01:15:58,860 --> 01:16:05,140
And there's only like a couple of variants. So I was able to, I read like this 400 page super checks

906
01:16:05,140 --> 01:16:09,500
owners, owners thread on like some pinball forum

907
01:16:09,500 --> 01:16:14,540
of some, of some kinds of arcade game forum. So like I'm pretty versed in that,

908
01:16:14,540 --> 01:16:17,980
but there's like four variants of the game.

909
01:16:17,980 --> 01:16:21,060
Pinball, it's endless.

910
01:16:21,060 --> 01:16:26,740
And they've been around since like the 80s or whatever. So they can be like, I'm, you know, there's like a,

911
01:16:26,740 --> 01:16:30,820
I'm sure there's like a valley of vintage-ness, you know, like if they're like old, they're just old,

912
01:16:30,820 --> 01:16:36,460
but if they're really old, they're vintage, especially if they're still working. I just, I'm just saying, I don't understand it.

913
01:16:36,460 --> 01:16:40,020
But I, yeah, I just, I want one for the lounge basically

914
01:16:40,020 --> 01:16:43,460
for the, for the members lounge at the badminton club. Yeah.

915
01:16:46,100 --> 01:16:50,300
Okay, let's see. Hey, Wampool, I was eyeing those cargo pants,

916
01:16:50,300 --> 01:16:54,740
but as an extra short boy, 24 inseam, I had to hold off.

917
01:16:54,740 --> 01:16:58,540
Oh, pinball's apparently much older than the 80s. Okay. Well, there you go. Shows you what I know.

918
01:16:58,540 --> 01:17:02,060
Ancient. Cool. A couple of questions.

919
01:17:02,060 --> 01:17:05,340
Are they hemmable? Are there plans for a short version?

920
01:17:05,340 --> 01:17:06,620
How are the sales?

921
01:17:08,460 --> 01:17:11,500
Unfortunately, they are not easily hemmable.

922
01:17:11,500 --> 01:17:15,020
And right now we don't have plans for a shorter inseam.

923
01:17:15,020 --> 01:17:20,660
Sales have been pretty solid though. Yeah. I think this is our first really successful pant.

924
01:17:21,420 --> 01:17:24,940
Oh, I, yeah, I think we need like a short.

925
01:17:24,940 --> 01:17:29,140
Oh, shorts. Or maybe. No, no, no, no.

926
01:17:29,140 --> 01:17:30,940
Yeah, no, no, no, smaller inseam.

927
01:17:42,020 --> 01:17:45,660
Oh, sorry. Yep, good. Cool.

928
01:17:46,620 --> 01:17:51,660
Someone didn't save a file to the server and it screwed things up like it always does.

929
01:17:51,660 --> 01:17:54,860
Never save a file to your local machine. Didn't you fix that?

930
01:17:56,180 --> 01:18:00,300
No, I fixed a different issue. I fixed an issue where a file was deleted off

931
01:18:00,300 --> 01:18:04,460
of the server over a week ago. And we had to recover it.

932
01:18:04,460 --> 01:18:07,660
From a cloud. Ooh. We got it.

933
01:18:07,660 --> 01:18:11,420
Good job guys. Nice. Bad. Nice. Scary.

934
01:18:11,420 --> 01:18:14,100
Good job guys. May I ask what the file was?

935
01:18:15,100 --> 01:18:19,700
It was a, it was a Floorplane exclusive.

936
01:18:22,380 --> 01:18:25,460
What was it? A denoised version.

937
01:18:25,460 --> 01:18:28,900
And was it like the whole folder? I think it was a folder with a whole bunch

938
01:18:28,900 --> 01:18:34,260
of the denoised stuff. I have no idea. I'm not super up on all of the different types

939
01:18:34,260 --> 01:18:37,260
of working copies that we have. Oh, we got it. Yeah.

940
01:18:37,260 --> 01:18:41,500
Okay, great. Cause we only have three days of on-site replication.

941
01:18:41,500 --> 01:18:43,700
So it gets really messed up. Got it.

942
01:18:44,540 --> 01:18:50,380
Oh, okay. So we did that one. Last one I got for you at heydll.wan.

943
01:18:50,380 --> 01:18:53,620
Could we get a feature to buy items not in stock?

944
01:18:53,620 --> 01:19:00,460
There is always an item out of stock when I want to order. Rather wait a long time than to pay postage twice.

945
01:19:00,460 --> 01:19:02,140
Thanks for everything. No.

946
01:19:03,620 --> 01:19:08,420
Sorry. Inventory management is really hard. And I could go on a really, really, really long thing

947
01:19:08,420 --> 01:19:13,860
about why that would make it way harder. But I think it's pretty boring for everyone else.

948
01:19:13,860 --> 01:19:17,780
The short answer is no, it's really hard.

949
01:19:17,780 --> 01:19:22,380
And the odds that some other item would accidentally go out of stock

950
01:19:22,380 --> 01:19:27,380
while we got the other item in stock would be really high.

951
01:19:27,740 --> 01:19:33,860
And it would mean that we'd have all these orders like queued that we would either take your money for

952
01:19:33,860 --> 01:19:38,300
and then what wait, when did we deliver it?

953
01:19:38,300 --> 01:19:41,620
Did the order get placed now? Or is it when we've fulfilled it?

954
01:19:41,660 --> 01:19:45,540
And then the return window tracking and then the accounting complication

955
01:19:45,540 --> 01:19:50,820
of when the order was actually placed. Is that when the money came or is that when we ordered the thing and we sent it out?

956
01:19:50,820 --> 01:19:55,060
It actually does add a lot of complication and we're just not going to do that.

957
01:19:55,060 --> 01:19:58,620
What we are going to do is we're gonna manage our inventory better so that the site

958
01:19:58,620 --> 01:20:02,140
isn't like half out of stock. That goes down. That's what we're focused on.

959
01:20:02,140 --> 01:20:06,060
How often do you have reviews that say they're gonna purchase five to 10 more

960
01:20:06,060 --> 01:20:09,180
of the thing that they... I don't know, but what is that for?

961
01:20:09,180 --> 01:20:12,220
Only the best thing in the world. Yes, yes, yes.

962
01:20:12,220 --> 01:20:16,540
We're going to make five to 10s not enough. I want to buy five to 10 more.

963
01:20:16,540 --> 01:20:19,580
Can you sell them in like 20 packs? They don't exist.

964
01:20:19,580 --> 01:20:23,420
Can I have bulk? Bulk packs. I would buy them in bulk.

965
01:20:23,420 --> 01:20:25,140
Especially if they're not gonna be

966
01:20:26,900 --> 01:20:30,020
have any printing on them. Wow, these are getting really good reviews.

967
01:20:30,020 --> 01:20:33,140
All right, well, I'm just glad you guys like them, all right? The tall shirts?

968
01:20:33,140 --> 01:20:37,500
Yeah. As far as my understanding goes, they're currently perfect reviews. Thank you.

969
01:20:37,500 --> 01:20:40,740
Don't tempt them. We love you. That's true.

970
01:20:40,740 --> 01:20:44,380
I still remember when I had that video that had zero dislikes for like years.

971
01:20:44,380 --> 01:20:48,060
And then I mentioned on Wanshoe, it just got bombed. Yeah. It's like you, butts.

972
01:20:48,060 --> 01:20:51,500
That's what happens. And these are the guys that like us.

973
01:20:51,500 --> 01:20:54,500
Yeah. That questionable.

974
01:20:54,500 --> 01:21:00,140
Yeah. There's people that hate watch. This is actually something I have encountered.

975
01:21:00,140 --> 01:21:03,620
Like I have encountered posts that are like

976
01:21:03,620 --> 01:21:08,380
this long about how awful I am and how you're barely more tolerable than me.

977
01:21:08,580 --> 01:21:14,020
And it'll be like, they'll be referring to something that we talk about like three and a half hours

978
01:21:14,020 --> 01:21:17,020
into like some marathon ass Wanshoe.

979
01:21:17,020 --> 01:21:21,140
And with all the context of like everything we said before it, and I'm sitting here going,

980
01:21:22,100 --> 01:21:25,660
you know, you can change the channel.

981
01:21:25,660 --> 01:21:28,780
It's an option. We do have the technology.

982
01:21:30,140 --> 01:21:34,300
Oh man. All right. All right, what are we even supposed to be doing, Dan?

983
01:21:34,300 --> 01:21:40,220
I can't even. We've got a few more topics. We only got about, this week has been insane.

984
01:21:40,220 --> 01:21:44,780
Okay. I didn't even realize. I didn't even realize when I sat down

985
01:21:44,780 --> 01:21:48,740
to do Wanshoe today, how insane this week had been. I was sitting here going like, oh man,

986
01:21:48,740 --> 01:21:52,980
I'm really tired this week. Like I'm kind of glad it's going to be a bit of a shorter show.

987
01:21:52,980 --> 01:21:57,260
Cause I just like, I don't have the energy for it. And I was like, man, what did we get up to this week?

988
01:21:57,260 --> 01:22:04,100
Like, yeah, there's the mighty car mods shoot. We had like a, I don't know, a bunch of other shoots.

989
01:22:04,100 --> 01:22:11,500
I reviewed a lot of scripts and videos and like, dude, I went to Equinix.

990
01:22:12,780 --> 01:22:14,460
Equinix? Yeah.

991
01:22:16,620 --> 01:22:22,460
What's that? So they build themselves as the biggest tech company

992
01:22:22,460 --> 01:22:26,020
nobody ever heard of, which you've heard that line. You've heard that line before, right?

993
01:22:26,020 --> 01:22:29,180
Yeah. They may actually be right.

994
01:22:29,180 --> 01:22:31,020
They might actually be the ones.

995
01:22:32,780 --> 01:22:36,220
Yeah. I know of Equinox, not Equinix. How do you even spell it?

996
01:22:40,260 --> 01:22:44,140
Here, EQUI NIX.

997
01:22:45,220 --> 01:22:47,260
NIX, okay. Yeah.

998
01:22:49,580 --> 01:22:55,060
Data center company and enterprise network technologies. No, you would think this would be something

999
01:22:55,060 --> 01:22:59,020
that I've heard of. You would think so, but these guys operate at a completely different level.

1000
01:22:59,020 --> 01:23:04,500
They don't give two flying... Leading companies to just Google Cloud,

1001
01:23:04,500 --> 01:23:09,860
Azure, AWS, Netflix, Zoom. Okay, all right. They don't give two flying boogers a bunflow plane.

1002
01:23:09,860 --> 01:23:15,420
Okay, I understand. We are just a s*** stain on the back of their heel

1003
01:23:15,420 --> 01:23:18,540
because they walked through the, I don't know,

1004
01:23:18,540 --> 01:23:21,660
bougie park next to their penthouse they live in.

1005
01:23:21,660 --> 01:23:23,820
Like, we don't matter to these guys.

1006
01:23:24,980 --> 01:23:28,100
I mean, I shouldn't say that because they did sponsor the video.

1007
01:23:28,100 --> 01:23:30,300
And so we did a tour.

1008
01:23:31,740 --> 01:23:37,540
Dude. This place was flipping wild.

1009
01:23:37,540 --> 01:23:41,260
And the reason, the reason they actually showed up on my radar

1010
01:23:41,260 --> 01:23:47,700
was because I found out that they were planning to use the deep lake cooling system in Lake Ontario

1011
01:23:47,700 --> 01:23:51,460
to cool a data center. Sick. And I was like, that's neat.

1012
01:23:51,460 --> 01:23:56,140
I don't know who these guys are, but let's go, let's get in touch. Look at the partner list.

1013
01:23:56,140 --> 01:23:59,500
Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay.

1014
01:24:00,500 --> 01:24:04,900
Absolutely. Is there a large technology company in the Fortune 500?

1015
01:24:04,900 --> 01:24:08,780
Well. Absolutely. All of them. Chat it out.

1016
01:24:08,780 --> 01:24:15,220
Chat it out partner list. And what was cool about it was they went full open kimono.

1017
01:24:16,460 --> 01:24:21,540
Like, they literally, they literally showed me a room

1018
01:24:21,540 --> 01:24:27,380
that if I walked any further into it and was caught on the motion sensors and cameras,

1019
01:24:28,260 --> 01:24:31,060
there would be, there would have to be a report to the SEC

1020
01:24:32,180 --> 01:24:33,820
that someone was in the room.

1021
01:24:35,380 --> 01:24:38,820
But you're allowed to like look in. I was allowed to look into the room.

1022
01:24:38,820 --> 01:24:42,220
We got a shot. We got a shot of the room. That's pretty cool.

1023
01:24:42,220 --> 01:24:46,100
Okay. You know how when we do tours of factories and facilities and stuff,

1024
01:24:46,100 --> 01:24:49,540
there's always like no, no filming signs everywhere.

1025
01:24:49,540 --> 01:24:54,580
Right? They didn't have a single one. You know why? Because nobody would be f***ing in there

1026
01:24:54,580 --> 01:24:55,740
if they had a camera.

1027
01:24:57,620 --> 01:25:02,180
That's one way to do it. They built this building.

1028
01:25:02,180 --> 01:25:05,260
Custom. Okay. They built it.

1029
01:25:05,260 --> 01:25:09,180
So the foundation was feet above ground level.

1030
01:25:10,100 --> 01:25:10,940
You know why?

1031
01:25:13,260 --> 01:25:16,860
Because the city wouldn't let them put ballards and truck stoppers around it

1032
01:25:16,860 --> 01:25:20,660
because they're unattractive. So they made it. So they just built it on a platform?

1033
01:25:20,660 --> 01:25:24,700
So if you RAM the building, you will literally hit the f***ing foundation.

1034
01:25:25,540 --> 01:25:29,220
Okay. That's, that is a solution.

1035
01:25:29,220 --> 01:25:32,660
Custom building. That's the way they did it.

1036
01:25:32,660 --> 01:25:35,820
These guys are absolutely insane. Okay.

1037
01:25:35,820 --> 01:25:39,940
So on the roof, on the roof. Okay. So you know the speed of light, right?

1038
01:25:39,940 --> 01:25:43,100
So as fast as stuff can go. But the speed of light's not fixed.

1039
01:25:43,100 --> 01:25:46,100
Okay. Logitech demoed this years ago. Yeah.

1040
01:25:46,100 --> 01:25:50,500
When they showed their light speed wireless dongle actually outperforming a cable.

1041
01:25:50,500 --> 01:25:55,740
Because the speed of light through an optical fiber or

1042
01:25:55,740 --> 01:25:59,740
Any medium. Through any medium is variable. So through an optical fiber,

1043
01:25:59,740 --> 01:26:04,900
we approximate that the speed of light is about two thirds of the speed of light in a vacuum.

1044
01:26:04,900 --> 01:26:08,140
But in air, it's very close to the speed of light

1045
01:26:08,140 --> 01:26:12,500
in a vacuum. It's like 0.997 or something.

1046
01:26:12,500 --> 01:26:16,860
I can't remember what it is. The point is it's a lot more than two thirds.

1047
01:26:16,860 --> 01:26:20,260
So get this. On the roof.

1048
01:26:21,260 --> 01:26:24,260
They have microwave dishes.

1049
01:26:25,540 --> 01:26:28,380
That are pointed at the TSX.

1050
01:26:29,820 --> 01:26:32,820
And toward New York. Toronto Stock Exchange.

1051
01:26:32,820 --> 01:26:37,500
Where the other, where the other, oh yeah, sorry. Where there are other exchanges.

1052
01:26:37,500 --> 01:26:42,060
So that they have the lowest possible latency link.

1053
01:26:42,060 --> 01:26:47,100
Because light through a fiber optic cable is not fast enough.

1054
01:26:48,100 --> 01:26:51,100
That's pretty wild.

1055
01:26:51,100 --> 01:26:55,100
Dude, I saw a cage there.

1056
01:26:55,100 --> 01:26:59,100
That not only had all four sides closed.

1057
01:26:59,100 --> 01:27:03,100
Not only had visibility blockers installed in the cage.

1058
01:27:03,100 --> 01:27:09,100
Not only had the fifth ceiling chain link installed on the top.

1059
01:27:09,100 --> 01:27:13,100
Because some companies will have regulations for particular data or particular operations.

1060
01:27:13,100 --> 01:27:16,100
That you have to have six sides essentially

1061
01:27:16,100 --> 01:27:20,100
on the cage that can contain. Not only did it have all of that.

1062
01:27:20,100 --> 01:27:24,100
It had touch sensors in the chain link.

1063
01:27:24,100 --> 01:27:27,100
If you so much as lean. Touch the chain link.

1064
01:27:27,100 --> 01:27:33,100
If you so much as lean on their cage. The head of security for equinix gets a call.

1065
01:27:33,100 --> 01:27:37,100
And that will not be a good call. No.

1066
01:27:37,100 --> 01:27:41,100
That's so sick. Dude, this place was wild.

1067
01:27:41,100 --> 01:27:45,100
And they showed us everything. Absolutely everything.

1068
01:27:45,100 --> 01:27:48,100
Nothing that they were not legally allowed to show us.

1069
01:27:48,100 --> 01:27:53,100
They showed us everything equinix. Nothing from their customers that they weren't allowed to show us.

1070
01:27:53,100 --> 01:27:57,100
But they had an empty cage. So I was able to go in.

1071
01:27:57,100 --> 01:28:01,100
And show how the cold isle and hot isle separation works.

1072
01:28:01,100 --> 01:28:05,100
I held a temperature sensor and you could see it open up the thing.

1073
01:28:05,100 --> 01:28:08,100
So we were able to do really cool demos.

1074
01:28:08,100 --> 01:28:12,100
Because they really did let us in.

1075
01:28:12,100 --> 01:28:16,100
That would be probably one of the coolest videos we have ever done.

1076
01:28:16,100 --> 01:28:20,100
Do not miss it. This is like no actually for real.

1077
01:28:20,100 --> 01:28:26,100
A data center. Like of the highest tier.

1078
01:28:26,100 --> 01:28:31,100
Like your bank and your ISP. And the cloud services that you use.

1079
01:28:31,100 --> 01:28:34,100
Your bank has that. This is where they are.

1080
01:28:34,100 --> 01:28:37,100
That old Windows 98 system sitting in the corner. So the room.

1081
01:28:37,100 --> 01:28:41,100
The room that you have to file an SEC report. That's where all your passwords are stored.

1082
01:28:41,100 --> 01:28:44,100
It goes into it and approaches the rack.

1083
01:28:44,100 --> 01:28:47,100
Any guesses as to what's in there?

1084
01:28:47,100 --> 01:28:51,100
The SEC is involved. So you know what it has to do with exchanges and trading.

1085
01:28:51,100 --> 01:28:54,100
I'll tell you that much.

1086
01:28:54,100 --> 01:28:57,100
I'm not even going to know the names of different things.

1087
01:28:57,100 --> 01:29:00,100
But I'm assuming it's the trading computers. No computers.

1088
01:29:00,100 --> 01:29:05,100
No computers. No computers. Because they would all have their own cages.

1089
01:29:05,100 --> 01:29:08,100
They would have their own least space and everything. They'd be caged off.

1090
01:29:08,100 --> 01:29:11,100
Wait I thought this was, did I miss something? No it's a room.

1091
01:29:11,100 --> 01:29:14,100
Oh okay. It's a room. It's just there's a room on the floor.

1092
01:29:14,100 --> 01:29:18,100
And there's no computers in the room. No they don't need computers in there.

1093
01:29:18,100 --> 01:29:21,100
They don't need any computers for that. What?

1094
01:29:21,100 --> 01:29:28,100
I have no idea. At a data center. A room with no computers that if anyone goes into the SEC has to be told.

1095
01:29:28,100 --> 01:29:31,100
Records of some kind. No. No.

1096
01:29:31,100 --> 01:29:34,100
No records. Networking? Would you not consider that computers?

1097
01:29:34,100 --> 01:29:37,100
Kinda. No gear though. Yeah.

1098
01:29:37,100 --> 01:29:42,100
No gear. Spools of fiber optic cable.

1099
01:29:42,100 --> 01:29:46,100
And the SEC has to be told. Oh the, I've heard of this.

1100
01:29:46,100 --> 01:29:49,100
It's the one that keeps all of the trading platforms fair.

1101
01:29:49,100 --> 01:29:53,100
So you can't have shorter links. Everybody has to have the same length of cable.

1102
01:29:53,100 --> 01:29:57,100
I saw a video. So they had one in their building.

1103
01:29:57,100 --> 01:30:02,100
And it was this giant spool. And it goes from the switch to like another switch.

1104
01:30:02,100 --> 01:30:05,100
And it's just 30 kilometers of fiber.

1105
01:30:05,100 --> 01:30:10,100
So if someone's office is further away. They would have less spools in their room.

1106
01:30:10,100 --> 01:30:13,100
Cause like nanoseconds matter in trading. Oh that's sick.

1107
01:30:13,100 --> 01:30:17,100
I'm so excited for this video. Like the furthest you could be.

1108
01:30:17,100 --> 01:30:21,100
And then everyone has to have that much. That length of a fiber optic link.

1109
01:30:21,100 --> 01:30:25,100
Oh man. Isn't that cool? I feel like I've heard of this before.

1110
01:30:25,100 --> 01:30:28,100
But just completely forgot. So I said Tom Scott made a video on this.

1111
01:30:28,100 --> 01:30:31,100
I probably watched that. It's probably old. And I probably forgot about it since then.

1112
01:30:31,100 --> 01:30:34,100
That's wild. Yeah. Very cool.

1113
01:30:34,100 --> 01:30:41,100
So these aren't like kilometer long spools here. These are just to for fairness within this data center floor.

1114
01:30:41,100 --> 01:30:44,100
Okay. So different companies that are using this data center.

1115
01:30:44,100 --> 01:30:47,100
Yeah. And then they would probably have a separate one.

1116
01:30:47,100 --> 01:30:50,100
They have to use like that service that equinix offers. Yeah.

1117
01:30:50,100 --> 01:30:53,100
For the like the fair linkage. And that's something that like from a regulatory standpoint.

1118
01:30:53,100 --> 01:30:56,100
They have to subscribe to. Yeah.

1119
01:30:56,100 --> 01:30:59,100
And equinox themselves probably have a bigger one that also does the building.

1120
01:30:59,100 --> 01:31:02,100
I'm assuming. Probably. Yeah.

1121
01:31:02,100 --> 01:31:05,100
Yeah. Actually I don't know. Cause it's going to depend on the setup.

1122
01:31:05,100 --> 01:31:08,100
Like it's going to depend what partners are in there and what.

1123
01:31:08,100 --> 01:31:11,100
Yeah. I'm just making an assumption. Yeah.

1124
01:31:11,100 --> 01:31:14,100
But yeah. No. Yeah.

1125
01:31:14,100 --> 01:31:17,100
Oh dude. This place. I haven't even.

1126
01:31:17,100 --> 01:31:20,100
I haven't given away the whole video. Like this place is flipping wild. And I was I was joking with them.

1127
01:31:20,100 --> 01:31:26,100
I was like, yeah. So when we did the Intel fab tour, they kind of quipped to me that the last person they

1128
01:31:26,100 --> 01:31:31,100
could remember giving this level of access to was then president Barack Obama.

1129
01:31:31,100 --> 01:31:37,100
And, um, and I was, I just, I, I told the anecdote because I kind of wanted to see their reaction.

1130
01:31:37,100 --> 01:31:42,100
And they were kind of like, oh, I don't think of anyone.

1131
01:31:42,100 --> 01:31:47,100
We've ever done this with, because remember they're not just showing me around a little

1132
01:31:47,100 --> 01:31:52,100
bit. Like they had an entire entourage there with us.

1133
01:31:52,100 --> 01:31:56,100
They had like their head of, oh man, I'm going to get this wrong.

1134
01:31:56,100 --> 01:31:59,100
This title is like head of. What's up? Jimmy.

1135
01:32:00,100 --> 01:32:03,100
So now you have one thing to come with Obama. Nice.

1136
01:32:03,100 --> 01:32:06,100
Me, Obama and Taylor Swift.

1137
01:32:06,100 --> 01:32:09,100
We like birds of a feather, you know? Yeah.

1138
01:32:09,100 --> 01:32:12,100
Um, okay. Sorry. What was I going to say?

1139
01:32:12,100 --> 01:32:16,100
Um, right. So, so they didn't just like show us around.

1140
01:32:16,100 --> 01:32:23,100
We had, oh right. His title. He was like the head of like global architecture solutions or something like that.

1141
01:32:23,100 --> 01:32:28,100
But in Canada, so he was like, like the Canadian head of it, but like globally.

1142
01:32:28,100 --> 01:32:35,100
So like any, any Canadian based multinational he like deals with.

1143
01:32:35,100 --> 01:32:41,100
So essentially he's like a global architecture lead guy, but like Canadian based or something

1144
01:32:41,100 --> 01:32:44,100
like that. For equinics? Yeah.

1145
01:32:44,100 --> 01:32:47,100
For equinics. Okay. Yeah.

1146
01:32:47,100 --> 01:32:51,100
So they had, they had him there. They had, um, they had a bond. They had, as far as I could tell, head of security.

1147
01:32:51,100 --> 01:32:57,100
Like I don't know if that was for the country or just like at all.

1148
01:32:57,100 --> 01:33:02,100
Uh, but he was like, he looked like a head of security and super smart.

1149
01:33:02,100 --> 01:33:06,100
He, the guy just like knew everything off the top of his head, like every customer,

1150
01:33:06,100 --> 01:33:09,100
like everything guy was chatted out.

1151
01:33:09,100 --> 01:33:13,100
It might have just been for that center, but I don't know, but he had the security there.

1152
01:33:13,100 --> 01:33:17,100
Um, dude, these guys were, these guys were, these guys are crazy.

1153
01:33:17,100 --> 01:33:21,100
Um, so they, they not only like showed us around or whatever, but they were there to

1154
01:33:21,100 --> 01:33:28,100
answer basically any question we had. How much, how much the, how much, uh, loading per square foot each floor was designed for.

1155
01:33:28,100 --> 01:33:34,100
I wasn't expecting them to give me that. That is like a, that's a spec of their building design.

1156
01:33:34,100 --> 01:33:41,100
Like, Did they just know it? And they, they, they knew approximately offhand and then found out and like told me.

1157
01:33:41,100 --> 01:33:46,100
And I was like, okay, there's six feet of concrete between every floor.

1158
01:33:46,100 --> 01:33:50,100
The place was crazy. Dude, you wouldn't believe the conduit runs.

1159
01:33:50,100 --> 01:33:53,100
It's a thing of beauty. It's a thing of beauty.

1160
01:33:53,100 --> 01:33:56,100
You know, you're a nerd when you, I enjoy that as well.

1161
01:33:56,100 --> 01:33:59,100
Just to be clear, but you know, you're a nerd when you get excited about the conduit runs,

1162
01:33:59,100 --> 01:34:03,100
but they, um, but yeah. So, and we were in there filming everything, right?

1163
01:34:03,100 --> 01:34:06,100
Like they were like, yeah, I just don't think we've ever done this.

1164
01:34:06,100 --> 01:34:11,100
They go, okay, cool. Um, and they, they might have at some point, maybe, maybe, you know, whoever I was talking

1165
01:34:11,100 --> 01:34:16,100
to didn't remember. Are you worried about, uh, like revisions to the video because they notice something

1166
01:34:16,100 --> 01:34:23,100
or whatever? No, because, um, a lot of their building is designed to be security first.

1167
01:34:23,100 --> 01:34:30,100
So because they're going to have third party people visiting their own cages or whatever

1168
01:34:30,100 --> 01:34:36,100
else, it's designed so that they can't see or touch or do anything they're not supposed

1169
01:34:36,100 --> 01:34:44,100
to do. Yeah. So everything that equinix showed us was equinix stuff and everybody who approved that was

1170
01:34:44,100 --> 01:34:48,100
literally standing there in our group as we went around.

1171
01:34:48,100 --> 01:34:52,100
So it was one of those, it was one of those situations where like it was a sponsored video,

1172
01:34:52,100 --> 01:34:57,100
but like, I had done it anyway, like a hundred percent.

1173
01:34:57,100 --> 01:35:02,100
And they didn't even, I think the only couple of things they asked for in the, because I

1174
01:35:02,100 --> 01:35:06,100
went through the script with them, the only, like they asked for a couple of things.

1175
01:35:06,100 --> 01:35:12,100
Um, I, I said they operate over 250 data centers worldwide and they were like, okay, we understand

1176
01:35:12,100 --> 01:35:17,100
150 is a kind of nicer, rounder sounding number. We understand why you did that, but can you say over 260?

1177
01:35:17,100 --> 01:35:20,100
And I was like, okay, right? Who cares?

1178
01:35:20,100 --> 01:35:24,100
Right? Like I'm not going to, I'm not going to dig in my heels. They're already doing the specifics while you're live.

1179
01:35:24,100 --> 01:35:32,100
Minor details like that. It's kind of nice. I just, I just mean like they didn't, they didn't ask me to change my voice or my thoughts,

1180
01:35:32,100 --> 01:35:37,100
which I guess is like fine because realistically I was just nerding out the whole time anyway.

1181
01:35:37,100 --> 01:35:41,100
Um, and there was stuff that I left out that they mentioned.

1182
01:35:41,100 --> 01:35:47,100
Like they had a lot of the initial briefing was about the like environmental impact stuff

1183
01:35:47,100 --> 01:35:54,700
that they work on and initiatives like that. And I was like, I basically left out all of it because at the end of the day it's already

1184
01:35:54,700 --> 01:36:02,100
going to be over a 20 minute video. Just so you know, we just released two videos on processors that are really power efficient.

1185
01:36:02,100 --> 01:36:05,100
People cared a lot. Yeah. Yeah.

1186
01:36:05,100 --> 01:36:09,600
And, and so I, I get, I get that, you know, when people go on Equinix's website, you know,

1187
01:36:09,600 --> 01:36:13,600
what's needs to be the first thing that they see. And I understand the importance of that stuff.

1188
01:36:13,600 --> 01:36:18,600
They do seem to legitimately put a ton of very real work into being a more sustainable company,

1189
01:36:18,600 --> 01:36:21,600
which is great, but it isn't why people tuned into this video.

1190
01:36:21,600 --> 01:36:28,600
It doesn't get a lot of views. It's, and, and I need to be focused on what people clicked this video to see, you know.

1191
01:36:28,600 --> 01:36:32,600
And, and so I, I took a lot of that stuff out and they were like, okay, you know, we,

1192
01:36:32,600 --> 01:36:35,600
we want, we, we want to let you be the expert.

1193
01:36:35,600 --> 01:36:40,600
They suggested a bunch of like titles and thumbnails and I like what geared up to have

1194
01:36:40,600 --> 01:36:44,600
the talk, you know, because brand suggestions for that stuff.

1195
01:36:44,600 --> 01:36:49,600
They're never good. They're usually terrible. And I started talking and they were like, just do whatever like gets lots of views.

1196
01:36:49,600 --> 01:36:52,600
And I was like, okay. Sweet.

1197
01:36:52,600 --> 01:36:55,600
I will. Nice. Yeah.

1198
01:36:55,600 --> 01:37:00,600
They just immediately back down. We're like, yeah, no, I mean, you're here because like that's what you do.

1199
01:37:00,600 --> 01:37:04,600
And we're doing this because this is what we do.

1200
01:37:04,600 --> 01:37:07,600
Yeah. Do you think that's pretty sick? Yeah.

1201
01:37:07,600 --> 01:37:12,600
No, dude, I, I don't know. I told the, I told the business team that basically I don't, I don't travel anymore.

1202
01:37:12,600 --> 01:37:17,600
You know, if a brand asks, hey, how much of a bag of money does it take to get Linus to,

1203
01:37:17,600 --> 01:37:20,600
to travel anymore? And I just say no. Right.

1204
01:37:20,600 --> 01:37:26,600
But what I will travel for is something I like would have done anyway.

1205
01:37:26,600 --> 01:37:31,600
If it's something that like ticks off something on my bucket list, I'll, I'll get on the plane.

1206
01:37:31,600 --> 01:37:35,600
It's like, and I know I probably sound a little spoiled right now, but the reality of it is

1207
01:37:35,600 --> 01:37:39,600
that I spent a lot of years traveling way too much.

1208
01:37:39,600 --> 01:37:50,600
It was hard on my body. It was hard on my family and the, the reduction in travel because of COVID really opened my

1209
01:37:50,600 --> 01:37:55,600
eyes to, and not just mine, cause I've always felt like, couldn't this just be a conference

1210
01:37:55,600 --> 01:37:59,600
call? You know, like I've always had that mindset, but I think it opened a lot of people's eyes

1211
01:37:59,600 --> 01:38:06,600
to how much of what we do in person could just be done remotely and forced people to

1212
01:38:06,600 --> 01:38:09,600
work around that nobody was really traveling.

1213
01:38:09,600 --> 01:38:15,600
And my whole thing has been like, okay, well, why don't I just keep it that way?

1214
01:38:15,600 --> 01:38:18,600
So I still do travel a little bit. I mean, I did Computex.

1215
01:38:18,600 --> 01:38:21,600
I did CES this year. I'm going to do CES. I'll do Computex again.

1216
01:38:21,600 --> 01:38:26,600
You know, obviously I, you know, I did the micron facility tour, but wouldn't you go to micron?

1217
01:38:26,600 --> 01:38:30,600
Yes. Exactly. Yeah, but I want to go everywhere.

1218
01:38:30,600 --> 01:38:34,600
That's true. Why are you really going to Computex though, if we're being real?

1219
01:38:34,600 --> 01:38:37,600
To play badminton. Yes. Yeah.

1220
01:38:37,600 --> 01:38:41,600
But I'm going to CES because I just like, should probably be there.

1221
01:38:41,600 --> 01:38:44,600
CES, yeah. Yeah, CES. I hate CES.

1222
01:38:44,600 --> 01:38:50,600
No offense if you live in fabulous Las Vegas, but it is not, it's not my kind of town.

1223
01:38:50,600 --> 01:38:57,960
I like, I like a, you know, a book or an interesting article to read and like, you know, a nice spot

1224
01:38:57,960 --> 01:39:01,080
on the couch. Like, that's my idea of a good time.

1225
01:39:01,080 --> 01:39:04,240
I love stage plays. Yeah.

1226
01:39:04,240 --> 01:39:10,760
Like, I would, I would do that. You know, I'd hop down to Vegas to like, you know, watch a couple shows or something

1227
01:39:10,760 --> 01:39:15,960
like that. I think I'd want to travel. But like, in general, the Vegas vibe, not my thing.

1228
01:39:15,960 --> 01:39:18,960
I don't like Vegas. Yeah. Sorry.

1229
01:39:18,960 --> 01:39:21,960
It is not a town made for either of us. Yeah.

1230
01:39:21,960 --> 01:39:25,560
And no judgment. If you're into Vegas, hey, you do you.

1231
01:39:25,560 --> 01:39:27,560
Go have fun. Yeah.

1232
01:39:28,560 --> 01:39:32,360
What are we supposed to be doing right now? We should probably head into when after dark.

1233
01:39:32,360 --> 01:39:38,160
Oh, no, I want to talk about small town panopticon sued in court.

1234
01:39:38,160 --> 01:39:43,760
What? The Institute for Justice, a nonprofit public interest law firm is suing the city of Norfolk,

1235
01:39:43,760 --> 01:39:48,160
Virginia over its extensive network of security cameras that use automatic license plate readers

1236
01:39:48,160 --> 01:39:55,760
to log every passing car alongside the car's color, make model and any distinctive characteristics.

1237
01:39:55,760 --> 01:40:00,760
Officials, including police, can then request the system, give them a list of locations

1238
01:40:00,760 --> 01:40:08,160
a car has been create lists of cars that visited specific locations and even track cars that

1239
01:40:08,160 --> 01:40:16,560
are often seen together. Yeah, that the lawsuit aims to either shut down the camera system or to require police

1240
01:40:16,560 --> 01:40:20,400
to obtain a warrant before accessing the feeds or collecting information from the database.

1241
01:40:20,400 --> 01:40:24,040
That's right. No warrant. Oh, big yikes.

1242
01:40:24,040 --> 01:40:30,600
This is like something I would expect to be reading about like China, not the US.

1243
01:40:30,600 --> 01:40:41,320
The fact that this got installed at all. And oh, by the way, these cameras are run by flock who has cameras in over 5000 communities.

1244
01:40:41,320 --> 01:40:46,920
It is unclear at this time how common police misuse of the system is, but two well publicized

1245
01:40:46,920 --> 01:40:52,280
incidents saw a Sedgwick, Kansas police lieutenant use the system to stalk his estranged wife

1246
01:40:52,280 --> 01:40:57,480
in October 2022 and a police chief in the same city use the system to stalk his ex-girlfriend

1247
01:40:57,480 --> 01:41:01,040
and her new boyfriend in October of 2023.

1248
01:41:01,040 --> 01:41:04,440
And I guarantee you if they stay installed, this will keep happening and this type of

1249
01:41:04,440 --> 01:41:07,640
information is going to leak both of those things.

1250
01:41:07,640 --> 01:41:11,840
It is likely that this lawsuit focuses on Norfolk because it is in the jurisdiction of the fourth

1251
01:41:11,840 --> 01:41:17,400
circle, fourth circuit appeals court, which recently ruled against warrantless drone surveillance

1252
01:41:17,400 --> 01:41:21,120
in a different case.

1253
01:41:22,000 --> 01:41:25,000
Oh, yikes.

1254
01:41:25,000 --> 01:41:30,320
Huge Mondo yikes.

1255
01:41:30,320 --> 01:41:35,120
That's all I really have to say about that. Oh, no, I have something really cool.

1256
01:41:35,120 --> 01:41:39,920
I actually, I saw this and I just like lost my biz.

1257
01:41:39,920 --> 01:41:46,640
What? No, I don't want to, I'm not going to sign up for an account.

1258
01:41:46,640 --> 01:41:50,360
That's fine because I can see what I need to see before the thing pops up. There you go.

1259
01:41:50,600 --> 01:41:53,600
Dude, start whatever. Hold on.

1260
01:41:53,600 --> 01:42:04,120
Oh my goodness. Okay. Video conferencing on a plane, dude, dude, Qatar Airways made its first flight using

1261
01:42:04,120 --> 01:42:09,080
Starlink internet on Tuesday, making them the second airline to launch Starlink service

1262
01:42:09,080 --> 01:42:12,400
after Hawaiian Airlines who got theirs in February.

1263
01:42:12,400 --> 01:42:16,720
According to business insider who had a representative on the Qatar Airways plane, download speeds

1264
01:42:16,720 --> 01:42:21,880
reached up to 215 megabit per second.

1265
01:42:21,880 --> 01:42:25,200
That's not for the whole plane. That's for one person.

1266
01:42:25,200 --> 01:42:29,520
Qatar Airways plans to make Starlink Wi-Fi free to all passengers compared to its regular

1267
01:42:29,520 --> 01:42:33,520
in-flight Wi-Fi, which is extremely slow and costs $10 per flight.

1268
01:42:33,520 --> 01:42:37,760
That means passengers can even make video calls or live stream, something that Qatar Airways

1269
01:42:37,760 --> 01:42:43,920
demonstrated with a video call between their CEO and Starlink CEO Elon Musk on a prior

1270
01:42:43,920 --> 01:42:49,720
test flight. Qatar Airways plans to roll out the service to around 60% of its fleet in 2025.

1271
01:42:49,720 --> 01:42:53,280
United Airlines and Air France have also announced to deals with Starlink.

1272
01:42:53,280 --> 01:42:57,440
This cannot come soon enough as someone who spends time on planes and would like to get

1273
01:42:57,440 --> 01:43:08,240
some actual bloody work done. I know Starlink's super important for rural areas and disaster response and all of that

1274
01:43:08,240 --> 01:43:11,440
stuff and it's actually a super amazing technology.

1275
01:43:11,440 --> 01:43:20,800
We've talked about it before. It's awesome. This one's going to be more meaningful to my day-to-day life personally, so I have personal

1276
01:43:20,800 --> 01:43:26,480
excitement. It's also interesting because it notes that regular in-flight Wi-Fi is expensive and slow

1277
01:43:26,480 --> 01:43:30,560
and I think it might be just Qatar Airlines, but they're planning on offering Starlink

1278
01:43:30,560 --> 01:43:36,320
for free. Yeah. That tells us something about the relative affordability of it because the satellites

1279
01:43:36,320 --> 01:43:39,320
are just up there. They're up there. They vibe in.

1280
01:43:39,320 --> 01:43:45,080
You might as well use the capacity. Unless I have a strong work reason, I don't tend to get in-flight Wi-Fi anyways.

1281
01:43:45,080 --> 01:43:52,960
Dude, I'm not talking about conference calls. I'm talking about just being able to access the friggin internet at a reasonable speed.

1282
01:43:52,960 --> 01:43:58,600
It cut out for probably an hour of my flight to Toronto and then 45 minutes of my flight

1283
01:43:58,600 --> 01:44:01,600
back. It's not usable. Oh, right.

1284
01:44:01,600 --> 01:44:06,040
I remember why I started talking about Equinix because that was this week and I totally forgot

1285
01:44:06,040 --> 01:44:13,040
because I flew out Sunday night. I had that shoot for like 12, 13 hours on Monday and then I took the red eye back home

1286
01:44:13,040 --> 01:44:16,840
so that I could be home in time for the Mighty Car Mods Club Tuesday morning.

1287
01:44:16,840 --> 01:44:26,000
This week, I'm just like ... I think that's ... I had badminton training on Tuesday night, which was this with the guy that I'm ... It's

1288
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:30,880
not with a coach, but he's done some coaching, but also we're both doing everything.

1289
01:44:30,880 --> 01:44:37,360
We're just trying to help each other improve. Okay. We're both feeding and both doing the footwork drills and stuff like that at the same time.

1290
01:44:37,360 --> 01:44:42,280
I had that. That was crazy. My legs are so much in very much pain.

1291
01:44:42,280 --> 01:44:45,600
Then Wednesday, I don't remember even what happened Wednesday and then Thursday, yesterday,

1292
01:44:45,600 --> 01:44:50,680
I had training again because I'm trying to get good for our tournament in December.

1293
01:44:50,680 --> 01:44:55,560
I have no idea what's going on, man.

1294
01:44:55,560 --> 01:44:59,840
Yeah. Sorry, what are we talking about?

1295
01:44:59,840 --> 01:45:02,960
Oh, dude. I'm sorry.

1296
01:45:02,960 --> 01:45:07,720
We will get to some merge messages. I guess we kind of ...

1297
01:45:07,720 --> 01:45:10,920
Oh. Let's power through these two. We can do them both pretty quick.

1298
01:45:10,920 --> 01:45:17,180
Chrome is purging UOrigin. The extension page in the Chrome Web Store is still up, but some users are reporting pop-ups

1299
01:45:17,180 --> 01:45:22,120
from Chrome telling them that UBlock Origin is now unsupported and turning the extension

1300
01:45:22,120 --> 01:45:27,840
off. Google says that it's newly rolled out Manifest V3 framework, still allows developers to create

1301
01:45:27,840 --> 01:45:33,040
ad blockers for Chrome, but many UBlock users, however, are talking about moving to Firefox

1302
01:45:33,040 --> 01:45:39,560
or Brave because of this interruption. Discussion question, how many people are actually going to switch off of Chrome and is it enough

1303
01:45:39,560 --> 01:45:46,440
to matter? I don't think it's going to be that many people.

1304
01:45:46,440 --> 01:45:50,480
We'll see. But hopefully it will be enough to matter.

1305
01:45:50,480 --> 01:45:54,680
I think a lot of people thought Internet Explorer was unassailable at one point.

1306
01:45:54,680 --> 01:45:59,680
They had 90-plus percent market share or whatever it was, so anything can change.

1307
01:45:59,680 --> 01:46:02,680
Anything can change. Firefox pull now. No.

1308
01:46:02,680 --> 01:46:05,960
I don't feel like being lied to right now, which is why I'm not going to...

1309
01:46:05,960 --> 01:46:09,160
Dan, can you move our box?

1310
01:46:09,160 --> 01:46:17,200
Yep. Darn it. Not only does the new designs of the product pages and stuff in the lab's website look

1311
01:46:17,200 --> 01:46:24,400
all super neat and we're writing cooler articles and things like that, but there's a little

1312
01:46:24,400 --> 01:46:28,200
bit of it. I don't know if you even... No way.

1313
01:46:28,200 --> 01:46:31,640
Just for you guys. Just for all of you Floatplane members.

1314
01:46:31,640 --> 01:46:37,360
That was not my idea, but I think it's hilarious, so it's there.

1315
01:46:37,360 --> 01:46:40,360
Yeah. All right.

1316
01:46:40,360 --> 01:46:48,640
Because I don't feel like being lied to right now, I'm not going to buy an AMD new B840

1317
01:46:48,640 --> 01:46:56,920
motherboard. AMD's new 800-series motherboards are a mess, according to a recent article over on XDA

1318
01:46:57,320 --> 01:47:01,200
who has been strongly critical of AMD's new motherboards.

1319
01:47:01,200 --> 01:47:06,600
So for starters, the B840 is named as though it is a B tier chipset, which typically allows

1320
01:47:06,600 --> 01:47:11,680
CPU overclocking, but instead, it not only doesn't have overclocking support like last

1321
01:47:11,680 --> 01:47:17,280
generation's budget A620 boards, it is arguably worse than the A620 because it only supports

1322
01:47:17,280 --> 01:47:22,680
PCI Express Gen 3 for graphics and storage while A620 supports Gen 4.

1323
01:47:23,440 --> 01:47:27,880
XDA also claims that the rest of the chipsets aren't really that different from last gen.

1324
01:47:27,880 --> 01:47:36,760
The X870e only adds mandatory USB 4 to the X670e's specs, while the X870 adds that and

1325
01:47:36,760 --> 01:47:44,960
a PCIe 5.0 slot. A PCIe 5.0 slot is also the only upgrade that B850 has over B650.

1326
01:47:44,960 --> 01:47:48,080
The conclusion reached by XDA is that these upgrades don't justify the price increase

1327
01:47:48,080 --> 01:47:54,800
in AMD is resorting to shady naming tactics comparable to NVIDIA's infamous 480-12gig

1328
01:47:54,800 --> 01:48:03,640
controversy. It's almost like AMD was never your friend.

1329
01:48:03,640 --> 01:48:09,960
They want your money. Careful, people are going to get mad. I am so tired of deceptive naming schemes.

1330
01:48:09,960 --> 01:48:16,400
I know I keep talking about how I want to be more positive in our coverage, but you see

1331
01:48:16,400 --> 01:48:20,960
so much of it. I think that a lot of the time it's easy for people to watch our content and go, well,

1332
01:48:20,960 --> 01:48:24,840
that doesn't seem like that big of a deal. It's like, yeah, but it's cumulative.

1333
01:48:24,840 --> 01:48:30,760
It eats at you. You see this kind of stuff over and over and over again. You see people make mistakes.

1334
01:48:30,760 --> 01:48:35,320
You read about people who are getting confused by it.

1335
01:48:35,320 --> 01:48:39,920
You'll see people, oh, I want a Core i7.

1336
01:48:39,920 --> 01:48:46,240
Not realizing that they're buying an ultralight laptop and that Core i7 is not fast and probably

1337
01:48:46,400 --> 01:48:52,200
doesn't matter compared to the Core i5 for editing documents.

1338
01:48:52,200 --> 01:49:00,200
It's just the way that I just wish that we could market honestly because honest marketing,

1339
01:49:00,200 --> 01:49:04,080
if you have a good product, is actually better.

1340
01:49:04,080 --> 01:49:11,760
Educating your customers turns them into informed customers. It turns them into advocates for your brand.

1341
01:49:11,760 --> 01:49:19,000
Maybe that's my new career. It would be like a marketing consultant, go in and tell them to be less stupid.

1342
01:49:19,000 --> 01:49:22,000
That was a direction. Potentially.

1343
01:49:22,000 --> 01:49:25,000
At one point. Potentially. Something I considered.

1344
01:49:25,000 --> 01:49:28,640
I never had an offer for it though. That's not what WD offered me. No?

1345
01:49:28,640 --> 01:49:33,680
No, they wanted me to lead marketing or be on a marketing group.

1346
01:49:33,680 --> 01:49:36,840
No, not lead it. No, I was going to work for, I forget her name.

1347
01:49:36,840 --> 01:49:40,080
Anyway, yeah, no. I wouldn't be high up enough to have actually made a difference.

1348
01:49:40,080 --> 01:49:44,880
I don't think. I'm going to be back on it now.

1349
01:49:44,880 --> 01:49:48,680
All right. What else we got? Oh, wash your bottle kids.

1350
01:49:48,680 --> 01:49:53,600
So this, my friends.

1351
01:49:53,600 --> 01:49:57,200
This. Oh my God. Seriously?

1352
01:49:57,200 --> 01:50:01,200
What? Dana, you logged in to Reddit.

1353
01:50:01,200 --> 01:50:04,720
I think so. What I can do. I can just post the.

1354
01:50:04,720 --> 01:50:08,000
There we go. Do you want to zoom in?

1355
01:50:08,000 --> 01:50:13,480
So this is why we redesigned the water bottle lid, making it much easier to pull out your

1356
01:50:13,480 --> 01:50:16,520
O-ring and wash it.

1357
01:50:16,520 --> 01:50:20,040
Yes. Oh. It was worth it.

1358
01:50:20,040 --> 01:50:23,200
That's a moose. That's a moose. Nice moose.

1359
01:50:23,200 --> 01:50:28,120
What about the added flavor? Show me your moose.

1360
01:50:28,120 --> 01:50:34,960
Okay. We alluded to this earlier, but the last big one this week is ARM cancels Qualcomm's license.

1361
01:50:34,960 --> 01:50:42,080
This week, ARM gave 60 days notice to Qualcomm. They're canceling their architectural license agreement on grounds of repeated material breaches

1362
01:50:42,080 --> 01:50:48,400
to the agreement. Notably, ARM will be facing Qualcomm at trial in just 51 days over Qualcomm's acquisition

1363
01:50:48,400 --> 01:50:53,720
of CPU startup Nuvia.

1364
01:50:53,720 --> 01:50:59,040
Nuvia's license was supposed to only allow server chip applications and was supposed

1365
01:50:59,040 --> 01:51:04,360
to be non-transferable, but Qualcomm has just been like using it notably in the Snapdragon

1366
01:51:04,360 --> 01:51:08,560
X Elite laptop chips that they released this year.

1367
01:51:08,560 --> 01:51:13,360
Both companies' stock prices fell in response to the announcement of ARM's decision.

1368
01:51:13,360 --> 01:51:20,280
I got to think they're bluffing. I agree, but to what end?

1369
01:51:20,280 --> 01:51:25,440
Why? Is MediaTek really going to pick up the slack in the phone space?

1370
01:51:25,440 --> 01:51:28,440
No. Immediately? No.

1371
01:51:28,440 --> 01:51:32,760
They're better than you probably realize. It's probably been a while since you've looked at MediaTek's latest stuff.

1372
01:51:32,760 --> 01:51:38,760
They're actually pretty good now.

1373
01:51:38,760 --> 01:51:42,360
Qualcomm lost an ARM. I really just want risk to win.

1374
01:51:42,360 --> 01:51:51,040
That's very funny. This is the kind of stuff that if ARM just acts like a petulant child about things.

1375
01:51:51,040 --> 01:52:00,160
In fairness. They did break terms. In fairness, Qualcomm is almost certainly not going to come out of this looking like

1376
01:52:00,160 --> 01:52:05,320
saints either. Licensing agreements do exist for a reason.

1377
01:52:05,320 --> 01:52:09,240
All right, Dan. It's time for After Dark. Let's do it.

1378
01:52:09,240 --> 01:52:13,480
Okey-dokey. I got to push the button.

1379
01:52:13,480 --> 01:52:19,280
And then do the purple.

1380
01:52:19,280 --> 01:52:24,240
Purple. Okay, Dan.

1381
01:52:24,240 --> 01:52:30,160
You're welcome. Merch messages. Can we deal out sitting here listening to the stream doing my plaque brachial therapy

1382
01:52:30,160 --> 01:52:34,760
for my eye cancer? Can't read well, but I can listen.

1383
01:52:34,760 --> 01:52:38,800
What is your most interesting non-tech podcast or book to read?

1384
01:52:38,800 --> 01:52:43,120
You're a book person, not a Vegas person?

1385
01:52:43,120 --> 01:52:46,600
Interesting. I- Most interesting non-tech book.

1386
01:52:46,600 --> 01:52:52,480
Okay. I don't know if I listen to podcasts.

1387
01:52:53,480 --> 01:52:58,040
Man, I'm mostly, I'm mostly an article reader these days.

1388
01:52:58,040 --> 01:53:05,480
I don't find much time to read for leisure.

1389
01:53:05,480 --> 01:53:11,360
After my sister died, Taryn gave me a book called Tuesdays with Maury that is like super

1390
01:53:11,360 --> 01:53:17,080
famous. I read that. So that's probably, that's the last book I read.

1391
01:53:17,080 --> 01:53:21,440
It was good. Hopefully it's not on topic for you.

1392
01:53:21,440 --> 01:53:27,440
I really hope your treatment goes well.

1393
01:53:27,440 --> 01:53:31,440
Any non-tech podcasts? Oh, podcasts?

1394
01:53:31,440 --> 01:53:37,360
Yeah. I only, and I don't listen to it that often anymore, but just the yard.

1395
01:53:37,360 --> 01:53:40,360
Yeah. Okay. Fun bro podcast.

1396
01:53:40,360 --> 01:53:45,960
This book, you said interesting book. I would absolutely not say this is the best book.

1397
01:53:45,960 --> 01:53:50,160
I don't even know if I'd say it's an amazing book. I haven't, I don't think I've recommended it to anyone.

1398
01:53:50,160 --> 01:53:54,880
It's always risky to give a book recommendation, right? Because like people are going to judge you immediately.

1399
01:53:54,880 --> 01:53:59,120
I'm going to only specifically say, your whole soul is about to be judged.

1400
01:53:59,120 --> 01:54:02,520
Because they said, they said interesting book. Okay.

1401
01:54:02,520 --> 01:54:10,360
Interesting. And it is an interesting book, S. 3.86 out of five.

1402
01:54:10,360 --> 01:54:16,800
And it probably, that's probably justified. The plot is not that amazing, but it's a very interesting book.

1403
01:54:16,800 --> 01:54:22,880
It's sealed when you buy it. You have to break the seal on it and then there's pieces of like evidence.

1404
01:54:22,880 --> 01:54:26,440
Okay. You know, they're looking for stuff that they can listen to as an audio book, right?

1405
01:54:26,440 --> 01:54:29,440
No. Okay. I didn't hear that part.

1406
01:54:29,440 --> 01:54:32,440
Neat. Let's move on probably. Okay.

1407
01:54:32,440 --> 01:54:35,440
I've got a lot of audio books. Hold on a second.

1408
01:54:35,440 --> 01:54:38,440
Okay. Give me more. All right.

1409
01:54:38,440 --> 01:54:41,960
Dan, why don't you read me another one while Luke finds some good audio books. Okay. Sure.

1410
01:54:41,960 --> 01:54:48,360
Excited for the, excited for the MCM collab video.

1411
01:54:48,360 --> 01:54:52,520
We're collaborating with the world's best off-roading YouTube channel.

1412
01:54:52,520 --> 01:54:59,320
Are there any other non-tech channels that would make it for an interesting collaboration?

1413
01:54:59,320 --> 01:55:03,000
Plato's The Republic, narrated by Ray Childs, or Childs, I'm not sure which one it is.

1414
01:55:03,000 --> 01:55:06,600
There you go. It does a very good job. It's a really good, listen.

1415
01:55:06,600 --> 01:55:10,000
There you go. Go with that instead.

1416
01:55:10,000 --> 01:55:14,400
Thank you, Luke. That was much more helpful. Or Barsk Elephant Graveyard, also very good.

1417
01:55:14,400 --> 01:55:17,560
Okay. I'm going to lean on, I'm going to lean on my co-hosts again.

1418
01:55:17,560 --> 01:55:24,000
I don't really watch YouTube much. Any other non-tech channels that would make for an interesting collaboration?

1419
01:55:24,000 --> 01:55:27,000
Channels. I don't know. Non-tech channels.

1420
01:55:27,000 --> 01:55:33,320
I would love to see you with a click spring.

1421
01:55:33,320 --> 01:55:38,880
What's that? He's doing an analog version of the Antikythera mescanism.

1422
01:55:38,880 --> 01:55:42,960
I guess that would be a tech channel because the Antikythera mescanism is technically

1423
01:55:42,960 --> 01:55:46,440
a computer. Of the non-tech channel. But he does machining videos.

1424
01:55:46,440 --> 01:55:56,800
I'd love to do like a... How wide do you go with tech? I think it'd be kind of cool to do like workstation effectiveness analysis with like an engineering

1425
01:55:56,800 --> 01:56:02,920
channel or like an animation channel or something like that because that's a space that's really

1426
01:56:02,920 --> 01:56:07,160
not well documented in terms of like how to benchmark.

1427
01:56:07,160 --> 01:56:12,640
Same with like music production. So we bring in like a bunch, we basically like bring in like four machines or something

1428
01:56:12,640 --> 01:56:19,840
like that. We built what we think is like a good, better, best, ultimate do-you-thing, you know?

1429
01:56:19,840 --> 01:56:23,920
We'll watch. Let's see if any of this matters, you know?

1430
01:56:23,920 --> 01:56:27,280
I think something like that would be pretty cool. Yeah.

1431
01:56:27,280 --> 01:56:34,960
I mean, you could work with like Bon Appetit or something and find like, you know, gamers

1432
01:56:34,960 --> 01:56:39,080
are notorious for not wanting to spend time cooking because I mean they could be gaming,

1433
01:56:39,080 --> 01:56:42,080
obviously. Bon Appetit gamer meals. Yeah.

1434
01:56:42,080 --> 01:56:46,080
Gamer meals from Bon Appetit could be pretty sick. We have a big sponsorship coming up.

1435
01:56:46,080 --> 01:56:51,520
The deal's not actually inked and I want them to be the one to announce it, not us.

1436
01:56:51,520 --> 01:56:54,640
But wait, why are you talking about that? Well, I'm not going to say who it is.

1437
01:56:54,640 --> 01:57:03,000
Oh. Yeah. But LTT Store is on kind of like a sponsorship drive right now, sponsoring other YouTubers.

1438
01:57:03,000 --> 01:57:10,200
So we're working on some stuff. So I'm not going to tell you who it is, but what I will tell you is that it's someone

1439
01:57:10,200 --> 01:57:13,800
that Floatplane Chat has mentioned in the last two minutes.

1440
01:57:13,800 --> 01:57:19,000
Oh. Yeah. And it's a pretty sizable sponsorship dollar amount.

1441
01:57:19,000 --> 01:57:24,080
It's comfortably five figures. So it's like, they're a pretty big deal.

1442
01:57:24,080 --> 01:57:27,080
Okay. Yeah. I'm pretty excited.

1443
01:57:27,080 --> 01:57:30,880
I'm trying to think what would be reasonable.

1444
01:57:30,880 --> 01:57:35,640
It's not Lunchables. Oh, I'm disappointed.

1445
01:57:35,640 --> 01:57:39,320
Can you survive eating mold for more than a week?

1446
01:57:39,760 --> 01:57:43,720
Well, I'll pay you a five figure sponsorship to find out.

1447
01:57:43,720 --> 01:57:51,160
Why the stomach pump tips? That would actually be a hilarious, like Mr. Beast style video parody.

1448
01:57:51,160 --> 01:57:59,720
How much moldy Lunchables cheese can you eat? Like the last person to be eating Lunchables moldy cheese wins this car.

1449
01:57:59,720 --> 01:58:08,080
We water cooled your dialysis machine. Doing some form of like computer experiment thing using Science Mindy, Hank Green, something

1450
01:58:08,080 --> 01:58:11,480
like that can be good. Hank Green seems super cool. Yep.

1451
01:58:13,240 --> 01:58:16,840
Everyone else is like too closely related. Like even an electro boom is probably too close.

1452
01:58:16,840 --> 01:58:20,880
We've already collabed with them. I've hung out with Smosh a couple of times at events and stuff.

1453
01:58:20,880 --> 01:58:24,280
They're like super cool. That could be fun. Yeah.

1454
01:58:24,280 --> 01:58:28,200
Kurt's Gazette. I can think of a few different ways that you could even do that as well.

1455
01:58:28,200 --> 01:58:32,920
I think for me, at this point in my career, honestly, I've kind of done it all when it

1456
01:58:32,920 --> 01:58:37,320
comes to tech. I'd rather go on someone else's channel now, I think.

1457
01:58:37,320 --> 01:58:42,200
It's like, yeah, I don't know. You're doing something like weird, let's play like...

1458
01:58:42,200 --> 01:58:45,920
Practically anything. Yeah, let's play paintball with grape juice. You have to catch it in your mouth.

1459
01:58:45,920 --> 01:58:48,920
Like, I don't know. Like whatever, whatever kind of... I don't know.

1460
01:58:48,920 --> 01:58:52,640
I'm just... You get grape to the mouth. That's an example.

1461
01:58:56,000 --> 01:58:58,000
Linus gets tied to the radiator.

1462
01:59:00,000 --> 01:59:05,000
Oh my God. Oh my God.

1463
01:59:05,080 --> 01:59:09,080
I was not expecting that reference. Oh man.

1464
01:59:09,080 --> 01:59:14,080
Okay. Five second films.

1465
01:59:14,080 --> 01:59:18,080
Yeah. Oh, that would be fun. Dude, I used to watch those guys in university.

1466
01:59:18,080 --> 01:59:21,080
They were back. They took a very long break.

1467
01:59:21,080 --> 01:59:25,080
I've heard, yeah. I'm gonna grape you. What is going on?

1468
01:59:25,080 --> 01:59:28,080
Oh my God. I'm the grapest.

1469
01:59:28,080 --> 01:59:32,080
I don't even know this reference. And I don't want to Google it.

1470
01:59:32,160 --> 01:59:36,160
Okay. Oh, is it?

1471
01:59:36,160 --> 01:59:40,160
Why is it because you know? Yeah. Oh, okay.

1472
01:59:40,160 --> 01:59:44,160
I remember now. It's a reference, guys.

1473
01:59:44,160 --> 01:59:47,160
Yeah, it's a reference. Okay. Great.

1474
01:59:47,160 --> 01:59:50,160
I don't know. I'd have to like bring up my YouTube and figure it out.

1475
01:59:50,160 --> 01:59:55,160
Very hard to watch. I think practically anyone. To be completely honest.

1476
01:59:55,160 --> 01:59:58,160
Yeah. Anyways, moving on.

1477
01:59:58,160 --> 02:00:01,160
Hey, Dale. I'm finally buying something from the store.

1478
02:00:01,240 --> 02:00:04,240
How is progress going with the city and the badminton center?

1479
02:00:04,240 --> 02:00:12,240
We submitted our package to the city. They have not gotten back to us like about the result.

1480
02:00:12,240 --> 02:00:19,240
But this is promising. They did get back to us to say that they have received our package

1481
02:00:19,240 --> 02:00:22,240
and that they have scheduled a meeting to discuss it

1482
02:00:22,240 --> 02:00:25,240
and that they would follow up with us

1483
02:00:25,240 --> 02:00:28,240
with a decision and next steps.

1484
02:00:28,240 --> 02:00:32,320
That's good. Me sounds like there are next steps.

1485
02:00:32,320 --> 02:00:35,320
Considering there's next steps mentioned. I mean, it's good that you heard anything.

1486
02:00:35,320 --> 02:00:38,320
Yeah. And the fact that they're on it, that's always a sign.

1487
02:00:38,320 --> 02:00:42,320
How quickly you get an email back tells you more than probably anything else

1488
02:00:42,320 --> 02:00:45,320
about how important something is to the person on the other side.

1489
02:00:45,320 --> 02:00:48,320
Sad. What?

1490
02:00:48,320 --> 02:00:53,320
There's a project that I'm working on. Took like over a month for them to respond recently.

1491
02:00:53,320 --> 02:00:57,320
But then we had a meeting about it this week. And now we have meetings about it every week moving forward.

1492
02:00:57,320 --> 02:01:02,400
Okay. Or I could tell you something about how busy the other person is.

1493
02:01:02,400 --> 02:01:05,400
Remember, it's relative, right? We can't change multiple variables.

1494
02:01:05,400 --> 02:01:08,400
True. You can't compare one person to another person. True.

1495
02:01:08,400 --> 02:01:11,400
I'm just saying that if you had worked with the city in the past

1496
02:01:11,400 --> 02:01:15,400
and they would take a month or never to reply to your emails

1497
02:01:15,400 --> 02:01:20,400
and they're working with them now and they're like on it same day, next day, a couple days, that's good.

1498
02:01:20,400 --> 02:01:23,400
Your priority. That's good. Yeah, you're a high priority.

1499
02:01:23,400 --> 02:01:27,400
So I'm really, I'm really, really optimistic about Whale Land.

1500
02:01:27,400 --> 02:01:31,400
I'm really excited. Yeah. As for Badminton Center, good.

1501
02:01:31,400 --> 02:01:34,400
It's been soft open for almost a month now, I think.

1502
02:01:34,400 --> 02:01:39,400
And next week, we are going to move the evening, the very evening,

1503
02:01:39,400 --> 02:01:43,400
7 to 10 p.m. drop-in session to be paid.

1504
02:01:43,400 --> 02:01:46,400
Wait, are the new floors in? No.

1505
02:01:46,400 --> 02:01:51,400
So only one side is open. And we have signs up everywhere saying that the floors are temporary.

1506
02:01:51,400 --> 02:01:54,400
So what's going to happen is we have placed the PO for our new floors.

1507
02:01:54,400 --> 02:02:00,400
They're from Victor. They have said 6 to 10 weeks for production.

1508
02:02:00,400 --> 02:02:03,400
Once they arrive, the same company that installed our floors

1509
02:02:03,400 --> 02:02:09,400
is going to install these ones for us because they did a great job with the installation, just the defective material.

1510
02:02:09,400 --> 02:02:12,400
So they're going to install it on the side that is currently unfinished.

1511
02:02:12,400 --> 02:02:15,400
Then we're going to move all of our programs over there.

1512
02:02:15,400 --> 02:02:19,400
Then they're going to go on the side that is finished now. They're going to rip out the bad parts.

1513
02:02:19,400 --> 02:02:22,400
They're going to put in the new parts and then they're going to go away

1514
02:02:22,400 --> 02:02:25,400
and then it will actually be finished. Good.

1515
02:02:25,400 --> 02:02:29,400
Very exciting. Super exciting. I wasn't expecting there to be so many people there.

1516
02:02:29,400 --> 02:02:32,400
It's very popular. Right? It was amazing.

1517
02:02:32,400 --> 02:02:35,400
Yeah, this whole time Dan thought he was building a giant facility

1518
02:02:35,400 --> 02:02:40,400
for just me to toy with. Because I was there by myself until like 1 p.m.

1519
02:02:40,400 --> 02:02:43,400
and I thought, oh man, this place is dead. Linus has no clients.

1520
02:02:43,400 --> 02:02:47,400
And then like 400 people showed up and all of the courts were jammed

1521
02:02:47,400 --> 02:02:51,400
and I was like, alright, maybe Linus shouldn't have been doubted ever.

1522
02:02:51,400 --> 02:02:54,400
And this is friends and family right now?

1523
02:02:54,400 --> 02:02:57,400
Well, people...

1524
02:02:57,400 --> 02:03:01,400
The best way to get people to tell everyone they know about something

1525
02:03:01,400 --> 02:03:04,400
is to tell them not to tell anybody. So we...

1526
02:03:04,400 --> 02:03:10,400
So it's friends and friends and friends and friends. To my knowledge, we have never posted it publicly yet.

1527
02:03:10,400 --> 02:03:15,400
And yet every time I go in there, I recognize hardly anybody.

1528
02:03:15,400 --> 02:03:20,400
I think we have over a thousand people in our customer database now.

1529
02:03:20,400 --> 02:03:23,400
My parents told a couple of their friends about it and they're like, I love badminton.

1530
02:03:23,400 --> 02:03:27,400
There's nowhere to play. We're going to go there. I had no idea badminton was this popular.

1531
02:03:27,400 --> 02:03:31,400
It was incredible. Are you going to work out with me again when there's a gym in the badminton center?

1532
02:03:31,400 --> 02:03:34,400
Absolutely. My life is calming down a lot.

1533
02:03:34,400 --> 02:03:37,400
I mean, I'll come back to the normal gym. I feel bad. Let's go.

1534
02:03:37,400 --> 02:03:40,400
I feel bad. I'm back to where I was before the sickness.

1535
02:03:40,400 --> 02:03:45,400
Good. I got a long way to recovery but things are calming.

1536
02:03:45,400 --> 02:03:48,400
Heck yeah. We'll get there. Yeah.

1537
02:03:48,400 --> 02:03:55,400
Alright. What else we got? In Supreme Commander, how do you deal with end game lag when all the players get to unit

1538
02:03:55,400 --> 02:03:58,400
cap? Same in... Faster.

1539
02:03:58,400 --> 02:04:01,400
Skill issue. Solaris, Kerbalville, Space Program, Minecraft.

1540
02:04:01,400 --> 02:04:06,400
No, it is a real problem. Even though it's an old game, like what is it, like 2008 or something like that?

1541
02:04:06,400 --> 02:04:09,400
I can't remember when Supreme Commander came out off the top of my head.

1542
02:04:09,400 --> 02:04:16,840
But even though it's an older game, it's single threaded and so even modern processors struggle

1543
02:04:16,840 --> 02:04:24,120
to handle the maximum unit counts on these like gigantic 40 kilometer square maps.

1544
02:04:24,120 --> 02:04:30,960
And if anyone, if anybody in the lobby has a slower computer, it slows down the game

1545
02:04:30,960 --> 02:04:36,000
for everybody because everyone has to be able to handle the sim.

1546
02:04:36,000 --> 02:04:45,960
So the combat is all physics based in the game. So because you're simming every moving projectile on the entire map, it gets pretty ridiculous.

1547
02:04:45,960 --> 02:04:52,800
It is fair that it gets ridiculous. Yeah. But yeah, there's not really much you can do about it.

1548
02:04:52,800 --> 02:04:56,800
Get good. Get better computers. I don't know, man.

1549
02:04:56,800 --> 02:04:59,960
Promote mindless consumerism. Buy more computers. Yeah.

1550
02:04:59,960 --> 02:05:04,400
Good. Make sure that when you're doing that, they're notably powered by batteries.

1551
02:05:04,400 --> 02:05:07,400
Yeah. Lithium batteries. Yeah.

1552
02:05:07,400 --> 02:05:10,900
With lots of nickel and cobalt. Ideally as much cobalt as possible. Yeah.

1553
02:05:10,900 --> 02:05:13,900
And have them flown in. Yeah. Yes.

1554
02:05:13,900 --> 02:05:19,340
And lead. Yep. And lead out.

1555
02:05:19,340 --> 02:05:24,420
Any updates on a potential collab with big time would love to see some LTT staff subject

1556
02:05:24,420 --> 02:05:27,540
to Jerry's lie detector test. I don't know.

1557
02:05:27,540 --> 02:05:35,020
That sounds really funny. And I don't know if, I don't think we have anything planned like collab wise, but I did

1558
02:05:35,020 --> 02:05:38,480
say before that I would love to sponsor big time.

1559
02:05:38,480 --> 02:05:45,540
I don't actually know where we are at on that. I don't know if I've gotten an update, but the team knows that I would like to do that.

1560
02:05:46,260 --> 02:05:54,220
So hopefully. I'd like to work with them. Hopefully someday we will get, I'll get like my phone blowing up like, oh, I saw your screwdriver

1561
02:05:54,220 --> 02:05:59,660
on big time. So we'll see. Hey, Luke's mom and DLL.

1562
02:05:59,660 --> 02:06:05,940
What are your thoughts on cod blops six having an advanced audio subscription?

1563
02:06:05,940 --> 02:06:09,140
What's next charging to unlock the frame rate? Wait, what?

1564
02:06:09,140 --> 02:06:13,300
What? I don't know. Like surround sound.

1565
02:06:13,580 --> 02:06:19,020
Also, I thought it was bloops. Oh, no, that's yeah, I've always called it bloops.

1566
02:06:19,780 --> 02:06:21,500
What enhanced audio?

1567
02:06:22,900 --> 02:06:28,060
What? Audio subscription. Do you need to buy it? How did how did I not see this?

1568
02:06:28,940 --> 02:06:35,660
OK, so I'm sorry. I'm on read write.com, which I've also never heard of enhanced headphone mode designed

1569
02:06:35,660 --> 02:06:39,540
to give you more immersive sound using tech from M body.

1570
02:06:40,540 --> 02:06:42,260
Directional accuracy helps you.

1571
02:06:43,540 --> 02:06:47,140
Directional accuracy. Did we come full circle all the way back to EAX?

1572
02:06:48,900 --> 02:06:52,660
Are they not using like F mod or Wu wise, which is spatial audio?

1573
02:06:52,660 --> 02:06:56,740
You can unlock a five year license for personalized sound profiles, your bodies,

1574
02:06:56,740 --> 02:06:58,980
immersed spatial audio technology.

1575
02:06:59,940 --> 02:07:07,300
What is this? I mean, it's not unprecedented to have to pay for a subscription or pay for.

1576
02:07:07,300 --> 02:07:14,420
Oh, yeah, subscription like at most. But to have to pay. Yeah, like at most in Windows, like to have to pay for like a like a Kodak or.

1577
02:07:15,700 --> 02:07:18,820
But accurate placement of sounds, which can be helpful.

1578
02:07:18,820 --> 02:07:23,620
Multiplayer audio cues, like footsteps, gunfire, $20 for a five year license.

1579
02:07:23,620 --> 02:07:30,180
I mean, that doesn't for the amount of money that you're going to spend on like dogs, right?

1580
02:07:32,420 --> 02:07:38,580
It doesn't seem. Wasn't it cod that had the stupid dog that you could buy that you were so upset about?

1581
02:07:38,580 --> 02:07:42,980
No. Oh, was that battlefield? No, it was a RTS game.

1582
02:07:42,980 --> 02:07:45,060
I don't remember the name. Are you sure? Yeah.

1583
02:07:46,420 --> 02:07:52,100
Whatever. The point is some like nonsense cosmetic for the amount of money you're going to spend on that.

1584
02:07:53,300 --> 02:07:59,460
This doesn't seem that unreasonable, especially if they're if it's effectively just

1585
02:08:00,180 --> 02:08:07,140
licensing a third party audio tech with that said, I think that this is what like a 90 Canadian

1586
02:08:07,460 --> 02:08:12,100
dollar game. Like if you're spending that much on this game, then I mean,

1587
02:08:13,460 --> 02:08:17,780
is it not pretty reasonable for them to just include good audio in it?

1588
02:08:17,780 --> 02:08:21,460
Also, like knowing that you're at a disadvantage compared to other players,

1589
02:08:21,460 --> 02:08:24,580
because you didn't pay the subscription that goes along with the game is.

1590
02:08:24,580 --> 02:08:30,740
That's how they get you a little rough. Valve recently released a special audio tool as well.

1591
02:08:31,860 --> 02:08:32,740
Faced Valve again.

1592
02:08:38,100 --> 02:08:41,780
Some Final Fantasy 14 fans, this is according to ReadWrite.com,

1593
02:08:42,340 --> 02:08:46,420
where the services been available for a while have expressed dissatisfaction

1594
02:08:46,420 --> 02:08:53,380
comparing it to similar technologies like Dolby Atmos, which some say offer comparable spatial audio without the extra cost.

1595
02:08:54,900 --> 02:08:58,100
All right. Well, good luck, everybody. Ah, man.

1596
02:08:58,100 --> 02:09:02,500
I had decided to not do the whole cod blop six thing.

1597
02:09:03,780 --> 02:09:08,020
And now I'm happy about that decision. I miss like having shooters to play.

1598
02:09:08,020 --> 02:09:15,540
You're going to turn into a non-gamer. Basically, dude, yeah, you're going to be a non-gamer until like Baldur's Gate 4 comes out.

1599
02:09:15,540 --> 02:09:20,500
Yeah. And that'll be in like, it'll be like 50. That's going to be by like Hasbro or whoever.

1600
02:09:20,500 --> 02:09:24,260
It's not going to be by Larian. Oh, really? Larian lost the license? No, they just left.

1601
02:09:24,260 --> 02:09:27,140
Oh, yeah. Based Larian. Yeah.

1602
02:09:27,780 --> 02:09:32,820
All right. Yeah. The next game that Larian makes is not going to be Baldur's Gate.

1603
02:09:33,780 --> 02:09:39,060
Wow. Wow. Hasbro's going to bung it up like so bad.

1604
02:09:39,060 --> 02:09:44,260
They have quite the blueprint to at least make like, you know, Far Cry 17.

1605
02:09:44,260 --> 02:09:46,340
Okay. Tell you what. No, I'm going to stop you right there.

1606
02:09:48,100 --> 02:09:54,980
Show me a like Hasbro. Show me a Hasbro game studios game that's like good.

1607
02:09:54,980 --> 02:10:00,180
What games have they made? I remember getting their Monopoly game in my cereal box when I was a kid.

1608
02:10:00,180 --> 02:10:03,780
I was going to say. Actually, those games are pretty good. There was Boggle Monopoly. I forget which other one.

1609
02:10:03,780 --> 02:10:08,580
I know I've launched games that had the Hasbro logo that I liked. And then I went back and remembered that it was those.

1610
02:10:09,300 --> 02:10:11,860
I don't. Just their board games, but on a CD.

1611
02:10:12,420 --> 02:10:17,860
All right. I wonder what Hasbro video games, Hasbro studio video games, what games have they made?

1612
02:10:19,460 --> 02:10:23,140
Yeah. I know they did the billion dollar investment like this year.

1613
02:10:23,140 --> 02:10:27,380
Basically, they saw Baldur's Gate 3 pop off and they were like, huh, billion dollars.

1614
02:10:27,940 --> 02:10:32,980
Yeah. I don't know if it's called Hasbro game studios. I just like, I know that they're working on some stuff.

1615
02:10:32,980 --> 02:10:35,140
Wait, Hasbro games is an Ubisoft?

1616
02:10:36,180 --> 02:10:40,660
Mac Warriors 3 Pirates Moon. I think that was the worst Mac Warriors game ever made.

1617
02:10:43,540 --> 02:10:47,620
Huh. Huh. They made Glover classic.

1618
02:10:49,300 --> 02:10:52,420
Hmm. Moving on. All right.

1619
02:10:52,420 --> 02:10:56,020
Cool. Good luck, everybody. Yeah. Hey, LLD.

1620
02:10:56,020 --> 02:10:58,980
Linus, how's the iPhone going? And how long do you plan to use it for?

1621
02:10:59,780 --> 02:11:03,940
Also, any idea when the retro pet cave will ever come back?

1622
02:11:05,620 --> 02:11:08,740
Our second order of the retro pet cave was a disaster.

1623
02:11:08,740 --> 02:11:12,580
They were the wrong color. They're all mashy. We're working on it.

1624
02:11:12,580 --> 02:11:15,860
But like, it's the exact same suppliers. Like how'd they screw that up?

1625
02:11:15,860 --> 02:11:19,300
I don't get it. Like just do the same thing you did last time.

1626
02:11:19,860 --> 02:11:24,180
Just don't swap or rune it. Drives me crazy, you guys.

1627
02:11:24,180 --> 02:11:27,700
It drives me crazy. Dude, I have so many more notes on my thing.

1628
02:11:27,700 --> 02:11:29,620
Like this dock is so long.

1629
02:11:31,620 --> 02:11:36,340
Like there's, man, so many of them are just little things that iPhone people are going to tell me don't matter.

1630
02:11:36,340 --> 02:11:39,620
And I'm like, yeah, to you, I guess. But to me, they do.

1631
02:11:40,340 --> 02:11:46,500
Like when you, okay. Have you ever, have you ever noticed this on an iPhone?

1632
02:11:47,780 --> 02:11:50,740
When you scroll? The scrolling is slow? No, no, not that.

1633
02:11:52,180 --> 02:11:58,660
Here, it's a lot more noticeable in the YouTube studio app, which I use a fair bit to like read comments and stuff.

1634
02:11:59,220 --> 02:12:02,980
It's community. Oh, it's the community tab now. They made an update.

1635
02:12:02,980 --> 02:12:05,540
Okay. So do you, crying out loud. Okay.

1636
02:12:06,260 --> 02:12:08,180
Okay. So as I'm scrolling, do you notice anything?

1637
02:12:12,340 --> 02:12:15,780
Not really. Do you notice that it highlights the comment that I click on,

1638
02:12:16,340 --> 02:12:19,380
even though I'm not interacting with that comment? Not always.

1639
02:12:20,020 --> 02:12:24,580
I did notice that happened a couple of times, but not always. I'm just scrolling and it highlights the comments.

1640
02:12:24,580 --> 02:12:26,340
Since you mentioned it, I don't think it's happened.

1641
02:12:28,660 --> 02:12:32,100
You know what? If it's already moving, it doesn't. There you go.

1642
02:12:32,100 --> 02:12:34,260
So see that? Highlights the comment.

1643
02:12:36,660 --> 02:12:41,700
Why? What other modern interface will,

1644
02:12:43,780 --> 02:12:46,980
will act like you have activated an element on screen

1645
02:12:46,980 --> 02:12:48,820
when you're actually just scrolling?

1646
02:12:51,540 --> 02:12:54,740
If you do it really fast, does it happen? Yeah. Watch.

1647
02:12:58,260 --> 02:13:03,700
Does it every single time? Why? It makes me feel like I'm misclicking stuff all the time.

1648
02:13:03,700 --> 02:13:06,900
What do you mean because you touched it? No. Incorrect.

1649
02:13:08,420 --> 02:13:12,100
Literally, Windows doesn't do that on touchscreens.

1650
02:13:12,100 --> 02:13:15,780
Android doesn't do that on touchscreens. It's really misleading because it makes you seem

1651
02:13:15,780 --> 02:13:17,780
like you're interacting with that element, but you're not.

1652
02:13:20,580 --> 02:13:25,220
I'm trying to think of what would cause it. I feel like it's like it's delay on interacting

1653
02:13:25,220 --> 02:13:29,460
with that element is really low or something. Well, no, because it doesn't interact with it.

1654
02:13:29,460 --> 02:13:36,500
It knows I'm just scrolling. Yeah. But if you like held press on that, would it do that

1655
02:13:36,500 --> 02:13:39,940
animation of you interacting with it in the exact same way?

1656
02:13:40,500 --> 02:13:43,300
Because if so, then you're just not hold pressing it long enough.

1657
02:13:44,420 --> 02:13:48,660
It doesn't do anything. It just keeps highlighting it.

1658
02:13:52,580 --> 02:13:56,100
Yeah. So I have to tap it in order for it to actually do anything.

1659
02:13:56,100 --> 02:14:03,060
But if I scroll and if I touch it first when I scroll, or if I just hold it, it just highlights it and then

1660
02:14:03,060 --> 02:14:06,100
doesn't actually activate it. Is it just people are commenting?

1661
02:14:06,100 --> 02:14:11,540
Is it just the YouTube app? Nope. Yeah. No, it does it in like my newsfeed and stuff like that.

1662
02:14:13,220 --> 02:14:18,100
Why? Why? I thought you're supposed to be a paragon of design in UX.

1663
02:14:19,060 --> 02:14:22,580
This is obviously wrong. Design in UX is subjective.

1664
02:14:22,580 --> 02:14:26,420
I'm also experiencing the bug where my ringer volume gets bugged

1665
02:14:26,420 --> 02:14:29,940
sometimes and goes super loud, literally interrupted a shoot

1666
02:14:29,940 --> 02:14:34,660
because my ringer was set to like this much and it was like

1667
02:14:36,660 --> 02:14:41,620
like going off in the middle of the shoot. Like it's been so buggy. It made me think, dude, I should change my ringer to the

1668
02:14:41,620 --> 02:14:42,820
EverQuest level up sound.

1669
02:14:45,060 --> 02:14:47,300
Most people aren't going to get why that's. Yeah. Anyways.

1670
02:14:49,140 --> 02:14:51,940
Oh, what was this? What was this? What was this note?

1671
02:14:54,100 --> 02:14:58,980
Oh, yeah. Oh, dude, when you're connected to CarPlay, if you take a system

1672
02:14:58,980 --> 02:15:01,860
screenshot, it sends your CarPlay screenshot as well.

1673
02:15:02,820 --> 02:15:07,780
What? Yeah. And as I I'm sure there's a way to unvat it, but it was not super

1674
02:15:07,780 --> 02:15:13,300
obvious and I was busy. So I didn't deal with it, but it's on my list of things to

1675
02:15:13,300 --> 02:15:18,100
figure out as well. So like it sends both like two separate things or they like

1676
02:15:18,100 --> 02:15:23,940
stitch together. They're like stitched together. I ran into a crazy bug that I recorded on my note nine where

1677
02:15:23,940 --> 02:15:27,540
touch wasn't registering in the right spot. I recorded that. So I'll have that.

1678
02:15:28,580 --> 02:15:33,940
I mean, again, there's lots of cool stuff. So since the last time we talked, the phone noticed that I

1679
02:15:33,940 --> 02:15:37,460
never really like deplete the battery and automatically

1680
02:15:37,460 --> 02:15:40,820
recommended I switch over to limiting it to 80% to optimize

1681
02:15:40,820 --> 02:15:46,420
the long term life. That's really cool. That's cool. I really like the way there's a little pop up in the island.

1682
02:15:46,420 --> 02:15:51,220
If you get a call on this and your AirPods are on you, but

1683
02:15:51,220 --> 02:15:55,380
like paired to something else. And this was to a Windows laptop. So it's not like they were talking.

1684
02:15:55,380 --> 02:16:00,100
Oh, we can like suggest you to take it over. Hey, can I grab? Can I grab that instead of just grabbing it?

1685
02:16:00,100 --> 02:16:05,140
You know, like your car will do. That was really cool. So there's lots of really cool stuff.

1686
02:16:05,940 --> 02:16:09,780
Lots of really cool stuff and lots of stuff that's just like

1687
02:16:10,340 --> 02:16:14,820
completely obvious garbage. Any man is saying that it's individual screenshots when

1688
02:16:14,820 --> 02:16:17,780
CarPlay is active, not that they're stitched. Oh, okay. Sure.

1689
02:16:18,500 --> 02:16:21,220
Well, when you're using the share interface, which is what I use,

1690
02:16:22,500 --> 02:16:25,700
they're both there. And there wasn't an obvious way to get rid of the other one.

1691
02:16:26,340 --> 02:16:29,300
Interesting. So I accidentally, when I was messaging Ploof,

1692
02:16:30,100 --> 02:16:34,260
sent him both my answer and my location.

1693
02:16:36,180 --> 02:16:37,300
Oh yeah, that is stitched.

1694
02:16:39,220 --> 02:16:42,660
Wait, is that two separate files? I don't know. Click it. Yeah, it might be two. No, I can't.

1695
02:16:42,660 --> 02:16:48,020
Oh, it's a screenshot. Got it. The point is just that it was, I wasn't expecting to send him

1696
02:16:49,060 --> 02:16:54,340
a screenshot of my map on CarPlay. That was not what I intended to do.

1697
02:16:56,740 --> 02:16:58,180
No, I haven't had the flashlight bug.

1698
02:17:01,300 --> 02:17:06,660
Yeah. So overall, I don't really like it.

1699
02:17:06,660 --> 02:17:11,140
It's really buggy. I was expecting a lot more just works and a lot less.

1700
02:17:11,140 --> 02:17:13,780
Well, there was the time when my phone just cut out when you called me.

1701
02:17:15,380 --> 02:17:17,540
That, yeah. Like turned off.

1702
02:17:18,420 --> 02:17:22,420
Like just turned off. And it was weird because on my end, the call didn't even disconnect.

1703
02:17:23,140 --> 02:17:27,700
And he, his call history has a log of our call connecting

1704
02:17:27,700 --> 02:17:32,580
and mine doesn't. Like it just has no idea that that ever happened.

1705
02:17:32,580 --> 02:17:35,700
The Android phone just overpowered the iPhone. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah.

1706
02:17:36,580 --> 02:17:39,300
How is it still buggy? They have one phone.

1707
02:17:40,260 --> 02:17:44,900
Everything's going to have bugs, dude. Yeah. You can't say how is anything still buggy.

1708
02:17:44,900 --> 02:17:48,340
Everything ever is going to have bugs. And hire a second dev.

1709
02:17:48,340 --> 02:17:52,900
They legitimately, they legitimately changed a lot in iOS 18.

1710
02:17:53,540 --> 02:17:57,220
They just, I don't know, it could be way better.

1711
02:17:57,940 --> 02:18:01,300
Could be way better. All right. Software is going to software.

1712
02:18:01,860 --> 02:18:06,980
Yeah, I hate computers. At Shorty Swift, you've spoken a few times about your disdain

1713
02:18:06,980 --> 02:18:10,260
for sleep country on the show, but you've never really delved into it. Yeah, duh.

1714
02:18:10,820 --> 02:18:15,780
Stop that. Care to share more info as to why you dislike them so much.

1715
02:18:16,500 --> 02:18:20,020
I will do you one better and I will direct you to the place

1716
02:18:20,020 --> 02:18:22,340
where you can go to learn all about mattresses.

1717
02:18:23,780 --> 02:18:26,420
mattressunderground.com is based.

1718
02:18:28,260 --> 02:18:30,660
You're welcome. Sick.

1719
02:18:31,940 --> 02:18:37,220
Typical Monday listener here. What's the most wasted qualifications that you have encountered?

1720
02:18:38,580 --> 02:18:40,820
Oh, A plus. It's all good.

1721
02:18:41,620 --> 02:18:44,660
No. No, that'd be something like with a Ph.D. Yeah, that's the opposite. Yeah.

1722
02:18:45,620 --> 02:18:52,340
No, we have some people who work here who have like just ridiculous credentials,

1723
02:18:52,340 --> 02:18:55,700
but do stuff here that has nothing to do with them at all.

1724
02:18:56,340 --> 02:19:02,740
Like almost almost any Ph.D. where you're ending up anywhere other than like research and engineering or education.

1725
02:19:02,740 --> 02:19:07,140
It feels like maybe you like you can get paid more for it.

1726
02:19:07,220 --> 02:19:11,700
Like if you have a Ph.D., I think you get paid more as like a counselor or a teacher,

1727
02:19:11,700 --> 02:19:16,660
for example, like in the public sector. But the reality of it is once you're in the private sector,

1728
02:19:18,020 --> 02:19:23,300
your initial compensation is going to be, you know, whatever it is, whatever you negotiate with your employer, but then beyond that,

1729
02:19:23,860 --> 02:19:27,060
your Ph.D. is not going to like get you a raise next year.

1730
02:19:27,060 --> 02:19:31,220
You're going to have to perform. So yeah.

1731
02:19:31,220 --> 02:19:34,260
Maybe that helps you do that. Maybe it doesn't. Maybe it doesn't.

1732
02:19:34,260 --> 02:19:36,500
I have a ballet degree. Yeah, I could see that.

1733
02:19:38,740 --> 02:19:43,620
Not necessarily getting you much unless you wanted to be a ballet teacher.

1734
02:19:43,620 --> 02:19:49,220
Yeah. There's a lot of degrees that are like, if you want to teach the thing that you got your degree in, great.

1735
02:19:49,220 --> 02:19:50,500
If not, there's nothing.

1736
02:19:53,620 --> 02:19:59,460
Yep. Hi, DLL. Does the Floatplane tech stack utilize open source software?

1737
02:19:59,460 --> 02:20:05,860
If so, do you worry that license changes, like what happened with Redis, could impact future maintainability?

1738
02:20:06,420 --> 02:20:10,180
We do. And yes, but that's also a problem with not open source software.

1739
02:20:10,180 --> 02:20:13,460
Sure is. So like a big problem. It's potentially a bigger one.

1740
02:20:13,460 --> 02:20:18,420
Yeah. We're having an issue. I'm not going to name them, but we're having an issue right now with a particular company

1741
02:20:18,420 --> 02:20:24,740
where we wanted to change the tier of like subscription that we had with them.

1742
02:20:25,700 --> 02:20:32,820
And the way that that is being handled is extremely unsavory,

1743
02:20:32,820 --> 02:20:37,700
I will say at this point in time, to the point where we might just be completely bailing out,

1744
02:20:38,500 --> 02:20:44,420
which will take development time, but would be worth it.

1745
02:20:45,220 --> 02:20:49,460
We'll get them these vests, and our developers will code so much faster with AI.

1746
02:20:49,460 --> 02:20:53,700
I'll wait till it's done before I talk about it, because it's not done yet.

1747
02:20:53,700 --> 02:20:57,460
So naming them now would just be in bad taste.

1748
02:20:58,820 --> 02:21:02,980
Sure. But yeah, it's like... But we won't hesitate to name you if you don't get your act together.

1749
02:21:03,860 --> 02:21:07,700
It's pretty lame what they're saying they would be doing.

1750
02:21:08,580 --> 02:21:09,780
So we'll see how it goes.

1751
02:21:12,580 --> 02:21:15,700
I noticed you haven't had any new bonus bin items in a while.

1752
02:21:15,700 --> 02:21:18,980
Are there any plans to make a 2024 sticker pack,

1753
02:21:18,980 --> 02:21:22,260
another postcard, maybe some more of those cool pins or anything similar?

1754
02:21:22,260 --> 02:21:25,300
Yes, Sarah's been busy. We definitely have new pins coming,

1755
02:21:25,300 --> 02:21:28,180
and we definitely have a 2024 sticker pack in the works.

1756
02:21:29,060 --> 02:21:32,980
Everyone's so convinced it's Cloudflare. The one company I'll say it isn't is Cloudflare.

1757
02:21:33,700 --> 02:21:36,820
Yeah. Don't narrow it down for them anymore, though. I won't.

1758
02:21:36,820 --> 02:21:40,980
I won't. That's where it's not. Where's AJ? The only reason why I'm saying it is just because so many people said Cloudflare.

1759
02:21:42,500 --> 02:21:47,140
I understand why you say that. Yeah, we've definitely had some conversations with Cloudflare.

1760
02:21:47,140 --> 02:21:51,540
But in this case, it is actually not. I'm just clarifying that because so many people said it.

1761
02:21:51,540 --> 02:21:55,220
It's not Cloudflare. This isn't necessarily a question,

1762
02:21:55,220 --> 02:22:00,500
but give me an early birthday present. Next time Linus gets premium access to a company, let it be Valve.

1763
02:22:00,500 --> 02:22:04,500
I want to see inside the company we all have so much invested in with our libraries.

1764
02:22:04,500 --> 02:22:07,700
I'll tell you what. Our rep there is super chill.

1765
02:22:07,700 --> 02:22:12,340
She's really nice. I will screenshot this and I will send it to her.

1766
02:22:13,620 --> 02:22:17,380
Nice. All right. I'm not promising anything. Literally doing that right now.

1767
02:22:18,420 --> 02:22:21,460
Yeah, he is. A humble request.

1768
02:22:21,460 --> 02:22:24,660
I look so serious in the vest. Every time I look over the TV, I'm like, oh.

1769
02:22:25,780 --> 02:22:28,740
Yeah, you look like you look like I'm in my quarterly review meeting.

1770
02:22:29,380 --> 02:22:32,500
I did way too many of those over the last couple of weeks.

1771
02:22:32,500 --> 02:22:37,220
I don't want to do any more. Yeah, Luke had to dress up because it's not going to be positive.

1772
02:22:39,460 --> 02:22:42,500
You don't. You come into like a stained t-shirt. Yeah, this is fine. Okay, next.

1773
02:22:43,540 --> 02:22:45,940
Oh man, I better put a button up on. Oh no.

1774
02:22:47,380 --> 02:22:51,700
No, the clothes have been looking really good on you recently. Let's be the tall sizes.

1775
02:22:51,700 --> 02:22:55,380
It's weird. Yeah, it might be something to do with the fit. Interesting.

1776
02:22:55,380 --> 02:23:01,700
Interesting. Never thought about that. I had a friend come over and she was immediately like, oh my god, your shirt looks great.

1777
02:23:02,260 --> 02:23:07,140
I'm like, it's all size. I've had a non-insignificant amount of people mention that my shirts fit.

1778
02:23:08,980 --> 02:23:13,620
Unsurprisingly, it's always been like, you know, like my mom, like women in my life,

1779
02:23:13,620 --> 02:23:18,260
which there are not many, but. But moved my mom and.

1780
02:23:18,580 --> 02:23:22,100
Emma. And Emma immediately noticed. My mom immediately noticed.

1781
02:23:22,100 --> 02:23:27,140
Like it just, it actually fits now. Well, yeah. Which is honestly, you know, once you've partnered up, probably.

1782
02:23:27,140 --> 02:23:28,260
That's pretty much all that matters.

1783
02:23:30,420 --> 02:23:34,260
But like, it's interesting how fast. I'm not saying you should avoid other women.

1784
02:23:34,260 --> 02:23:37,860
I'm just saying like. No, it's, I don't know. You got the bases covered.

1785
02:23:37,860 --> 02:23:40,900
That's all. Yeah. Outside of work, like the casual hangouts.

1786
02:23:40,900 --> 02:23:43,860
I mean, I barely have friends at all these days.

1787
02:23:46,100 --> 02:23:48,500
Yeah, I don't know. It is what it is. It's everything's okay.

1788
02:23:49,460 --> 02:23:50,420
The shirts fit though.

1789
02:23:53,460 --> 02:23:56,820
Cool. Hi, Wendell.

1790
02:23:56,820 --> 02:23:59,860
It was this easy to get him to show this hard for the store. I would have made it this.

1791
02:23:59,860 --> 02:24:04,100
I've been asking for this for years. We told you that this would happen. It's been very clear.

1792
02:24:04,980 --> 02:24:08,100
There was no communication. We said exactly what we needed.

1793
02:24:08,100 --> 02:24:11,300
Every week. And now we are acting on our side of the deal.

1794
02:24:12,020 --> 02:24:16,420
Women have taken notice of us. And they have nice thighs and everything.

1795
02:24:17,300 --> 02:24:23,140
Oh, boy.

1796
02:24:23,140 --> 02:24:26,740
Hi, Wendell. Week number two of asking for an update

1797
02:24:26,740 --> 02:24:29,780
on the 3D printed custom loop. Oh, they do updates on Floatplane,

1798
02:24:29,780 --> 02:24:33,940
which is where we said we would do updates. Better get subscribed on Floatplane.

1799
02:24:33,940 --> 02:24:37,380
They do up in there. I've seen it. Last one I got for you.

1800
02:24:37,380 --> 02:24:41,380
Hey, LDL. I work as a private teacher for a family of billionaires.

1801
02:24:41,380 --> 02:24:45,940
The family does pro motor sports. If you homeschooled with an infinite budget

1802
02:24:45,940 --> 02:24:48,500
and lots of travel opportunities, what would you do?

1803
02:24:49,380 --> 02:24:51,220
I don't think I would homeschool my kids.

1804
02:24:54,100 --> 02:24:56,740
Interesting. Socialization is important.

1805
02:24:57,300 --> 02:24:59,620
Yeah. Maybe not when you're a billionaire. Yeah, maybe.

1806
02:25:00,900 --> 02:25:03,060
No, I would think if anything, it would be more important. Maybe you want a water mix.

1807
02:25:06,340 --> 02:25:09,780
That's why they don't. That's how they feel about everyone else.

1808
02:25:10,500 --> 02:25:13,620
I mean, I don't know. Maybe I can't speak for them. I'm not a billionaire.

1809
02:25:14,580 --> 02:25:18,260
If you homeschooled with an infinite budget and had lots of travel opportunities,

1810
02:25:18,260 --> 02:25:26,500
yeah, see, okay, we got a couple of problems here. So number one is at risk of sounding like I look in this vest,

1811
02:25:28,660 --> 02:25:34,260
my kids can have whatever education they want. Effectively, I'd have an infinite education budget for my kids.

1812
02:25:34,260 --> 02:25:38,260
There's no amount of like education budget that I couldn't afford at this point.

1813
02:25:38,580 --> 02:25:42,660
So I like kind of do and accept that I wouldn't homeschool them.

1814
02:25:42,660 --> 02:25:47,300
Like I just wouldn't do that. That's not even on the menu.

1815
02:25:51,380 --> 02:25:54,580
I think the homeschooling would be that you hired people

1816
02:25:54,580 --> 02:25:57,860
to come and teach them like the world's top engineers.

1817
02:25:57,860 --> 02:26:01,620
Yeah, but still. I think lots of practical experiments and demonstrations.

1818
02:26:01,620 --> 02:26:04,660
I think. Yeah, I think that'd be cool. Visiting a lot of.

1819
02:26:04,660 --> 02:26:10,500
Here's a laboratory. Here's a laboratory. Go learn how to do science with a team of people to teach you.

1820
02:26:11,060 --> 02:26:13,940
I mean, yeah, I guess that'd be kind of cool, but like.

1821
02:26:16,100 --> 02:26:21,460
Because I mean, at that point in time, they don't need to work. So all you really need to do is inspire interest.

1822
02:26:22,500 --> 02:26:26,500
So showing them how cool things that you can do with the different subjects are.

1823
02:26:26,500 --> 02:26:30,820
Go try everything to find what you're interested in and then we'll dive into that maybe.

1824
02:26:30,820 --> 02:26:31,380
I think so.

1825
02:26:35,860 --> 02:26:38,340
Make sure they at least know the definition of the word job.

1826
02:26:40,100 --> 02:26:43,220
Yeah, man, pretend for a little while. I'm just I'm just reading.

1827
02:26:43,220 --> 02:26:46,820
I'm just reading chat right now. It's it's interesting hearing everyone's sort of different

1828
02:26:46,820 --> 02:26:50,420
background. Like, yeah, I went to homeschool. It was great. I did homeschool. It was the worst I.

1829
02:26:51,780 --> 02:26:54,100
I think at the end of the day, they're going to make the best.

1830
02:26:55,460 --> 02:26:58,820
I think they're going to make they're going to make whatever they make of whatever they have.

1831
02:26:58,820 --> 02:27:01,220
Like I didn't have a fancy education.

1832
02:27:05,860 --> 02:27:09,060
And so much knowledge is available for free now.

1833
02:27:09,940 --> 02:27:16,340
And I just I don't know. I don't know if I'm convinced that that like fancy school.

1834
02:27:16,340 --> 02:27:20,740
I mean, travel opportunities could be cool. Like being able to see see things in person

1835
02:27:20,740 --> 02:27:24,420
instead of the infinite money and infinite travel opportunities. I think I think there's a lot you can do.

1836
02:27:24,420 --> 02:27:31,060
You'd also waste a lot of time traveling, though. Like no amount of no amount of money makes it so that, you know,

1837
02:27:31,060 --> 02:27:37,060
going somewhere far away. But when you've got private jets, you could have like the paperwork stuff

1838
02:27:37,060 --> 02:27:45,700
that they have to do on the planes. Yeah. I mean, I guess so you could just like, you know, let's learn about WAC Bennett

1839
02:27:45,700 --> 02:27:48,180
Dam by going there.

1840
02:27:48,820 --> 02:27:51,300
Like, yeah, I guess I guess that that's something.

1841
02:27:52,260 --> 02:27:54,660
Here's a helicopter. You can learn how to fix it.

1842
02:27:56,900 --> 02:27:59,620
Yeah. Have fun.

1843
02:28:00,660 --> 02:28:04,580
Man, there's almost too many. There's almost too many. There's almost too many options.

1844
02:28:04,580 --> 02:28:08,500
Like I wouldn't even know what to do with it. I have to confess. I haven't really given it that much thought.

1845
02:28:08,500 --> 02:28:11,940
I just let the school kind of do their curriculum and reading, writing,

1846
02:28:11,940 --> 02:28:15,540
arithmetic and a little bit of performing arts and fine arts and.

1847
02:28:17,060 --> 02:28:21,460
I mean, I would, I would be if I was, I don't know if you're clearly not the parent.

1848
02:28:21,460 --> 02:28:24,740
So if I, if I were you, I would be most concerned about making sure that

1849
02:28:24,740 --> 02:28:28,820
they're not just like. Did you just accuse Yvonne of cheating?

1850
02:28:28,820 --> 02:28:31,540
What? No, I'm talking to the person who sent in the merge message.

1851
02:28:32,500 --> 02:28:34,900
We all know Yvonne's the real parent. Yeah.

1852
02:28:35,780 --> 02:28:36,340
That's fair.

1853
02:28:38,900 --> 02:28:39,940
Of four kids.

1854
02:28:44,180 --> 02:28:47,620
And 15 cats. Five, five.

1855
02:28:48,260 --> 02:28:51,780
We'll get there. But like, yeah, I don't know, showing them

1856
02:28:53,220 --> 02:28:58,660
like the impact of bad things in our oceans and doing beach cleanups and things could be cool.

1857
02:29:00,340 --> 02:29:03,460
Doing things like that. Giving them a reason to give a crap about anything.

1858
02:29:05,780 --> 02:29:09,940
Yeah. My fiance is homeschooled. She's mostly normal. Says teedog420.

1859
02:29:09,940 --> 02:29:10,260
Okay.

1860
02:29:13,300 --> 02:29:15,860
Nice. Nice. Nice.

1861
02:29:16,580 --> 02:29:19,860
And I think that's it for the Wanshow. Yeah. We'll see you again next week.

1862
02:29:19,860 --> 02:29:22,580
Same bad time. Same bad channel. Bye.

1863
02:29:31,220 --> 02:29:55,540
It's like anything is kind of education.
