WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.120
No, have you Look at relatively speaking the difference in

00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:11.120
Circumference between my wrist and my forearm I could see it stretching it out a little

00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:16.040
It's just less of an issue All right, this guy's like yeah

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

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?

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

00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:31.600
Yeah, have you have I showed you this lately? It's kind of nuts

00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:39.960
It's interesting how like actually unbalanced a lot of

00:00:41.400 --> 00:00:43.760
Like sport focused athletes get

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

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

00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:05.200
Kind of funny Are we pre-streaming already? Oh cool. Good stuff

00:01:07.880 --> 00:01:10.520
Okay, where's my thing here we go pop out chat

00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:13.360
It's up chat

00:01:15.800 --> 00:01:18.360
Wait, I don't even see us are we oh

00:01:19.800 --> 00:01:25.960
Yeah, there we go Are we ready for this week's crisis? What was it last week power outage?

00:01:26.960 --> 00:01:31.160
We got this right car drives through a wall this time

00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:35.600
Could happen mighty car mods is here this week. So yeah, yeah

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

00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:45.000
What do you want what do you want from them or?

00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:50.720
I want them to I swap your car

00:01:50.800 --> 00:01:52.800
I

00:01:54.320 --> 00:01:59.120
Know I Wonder what the teacher in this video would think about that

00:02:01.440 --> 00:02:04.240
Wonder what all the children I killed in the Congo would think of that

00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.200
Okay

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

00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:17.360
Yeah

00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:23.800
Okay, we're ready

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

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

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

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

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?

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

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

00:03:10.320 --> 00:03:13.060
You're a little too cool. The hair's a little too cool

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

00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.720
Would never send any businesses with us. I'm not gonna

00:03:27.160 --> 00:03:29.160
It's hard out there, man, I

00:03:31.200 --> 00:03:33.200
Just nice one business

00:03:40.440 --> 00:03:42.440
Um

00:03:43.920 --> 00:03:47.560
Okay, we ready can be

00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:56.400
Yeah, there's not a lot I was really hoping to be able to talk about

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

00:04:04.880 --> 00:04:08.760
That does that it does help we have like no time today. Yeah

00:04:10.320 --> 00:04:14.720
Okay Pre-show meditation

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

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

00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:52.280
Super disrespectful if you know what I mean

00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:59.560
I'm just I'm throwing them what's it called red herring. Yeah. Yeah

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

00:05:11.440 --> 00:05:14.840
It will crater your chances of guessing

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

00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:28.120
Okay, I'm going to resume the select to be ready

00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:31.560
You

00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:01.560
You

00:06:04.320 --> 00:06:09.320
What is up everyone welcome to the WAN Show where I have blood on my hands

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

00:06:19.440 --> 00:06:22.240
And I am personally what is this?

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

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

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

00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:46.160
Telecoms hate her. We're talking of course about Lena Khan

00:06:47.320 --> 00:06:52.200
Dude click to cancel. Okay, so making it easier for people to cancel subscriptions

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

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

00:07:04.200 --> 00:07:07.960
But you know, we'll talk about that later. Also, Squarespace goes private

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

00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:18.680
No

00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:30.360
You

00:07:37.280 --> 00:07:40.800
The show today is brought to you by jump cloud fallout 76 and

00:07:41.280 --> 00:07:47.200
Flexi spot with our chair partner secret lab our laptop partner LG and our rap partner

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?

00:07:54.840 --> 00:07:59.800
Linus is personally Hurting children in the Congo

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

00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:14.360
Work for less than two dollars a day so he can sell you tech tips

00:08:14.520 --> 00:08:18.880
It is a requirement if they don't work for two dollars a day or less

00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:22.960
You're actually legally not allowed to give anyone tech tips

00:08:22.960 --> 00:08:27.000
Don't let tech influencers sway you into gross consumerism

00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:31.800
buy less tech and end the suffering in

00:08:32.680 --> 00:08:36.760
Congo so according to the poster on reddit

00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:42.040
Let's see if I can actually find anything from the OP here

00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:48.800
Yeah, no, well anyway, there's there's a lot to kind of unpack here

00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:51.320
You

00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:57.400
Guys can probably hear that Short aside

00:08:57.400 --> 00:09:00.880
Marty from mighty car mods and a bunch of

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

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

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

00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:28.000
the point is there's a lot to unpack here and

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

00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:46.720
Okay, but hold on okay hold on so I've actually had this conversation

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

00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:59.720
Sort of discussing the impact of our business

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

00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:13.340
Merch items, you know, we have things manufactured we sell them

00:10:13.860 --> 00:10:17.300
We burn jet fuel shipping them around the world

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

00:10:25.140 --> 00:10:28.780
Realistically we could have found out just as much about the product on a zoom call

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

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

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

00:10:45.060 --> 00:10:48.060
And so running running the business that we do

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

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

00:11:01.820 --> 00:11:07.820
We buy technology products that contain precious materials like cobalt and lithium

00:11:08.500 --> 00:11:10.580
in some cases, you know very

00:11:13.060 --> 00:11:18.460
Controversially obtained materials, right and don't even use them sometimes

00:11:18.460 --> 00:11:21.580
We have a warehouse of devices that are sitting not being used

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

00:11:28.180 --> 00:11:31.300
Carbon footprint you guys have an enormous environmental impact

00:11:32.420 --> 00:11:34.540
So I understand

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

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

00:11:51.060 --> 00:11:55.700
We are a marketing company, right? We are a production company

00:11:56.420 --> 00:12:01.220
And part of our job is to sell things, right?

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

00:12:06.300 --> 00:12:08.800
Later on in this very podcast

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

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

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

00:12:32.540 --> 00:12:35.740
of Principally standing behind

00:12:36.100 --> 00:12:40.800
Those things that I promote when it comes to things like investments in framework who is

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

00:12:50.460 --> 00:12:56.380
Yeah, probably just about the most disposable kind of laptop computer that you can purchase

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

00:13:03.620 --> 00:13:08.900
Realistically you are going to need clothes You are going to need a computer

00:13:09.620 --> 00:13:14.460
If you want to, you know, not get arrested for being naked everywhere

00:13:14.460 --> 00:13:17.940
And if you want to have a job, you know in the year 2024

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

00:13:25.540 --> 00:13:29.500
They last for a really long time and when you buy that computer

00:13:29.500 --> 00:13:33.540
It's one that actually suits your needs properly instead of being manufactured e-waste

00:13:33.820 --> 00:13:39.140
There is so much more waste involved in buying something and then

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

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

00:13:50.420 --> 00:13:53.700
Which is what we obviously strive to help people find

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

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

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

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

00:14:14.900 --> 00:14:16.900
How would you do it?

00:14:18.140 --> 00:14:22.500
What would your media company do then?

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?

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?

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

00:14:42.580 --> 00:14:46.020
I've never had to go to this store, but um, I think it's a

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

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

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

00:15:04.100 --> 00:15:08.100
And I thought it might have been real. Um, I immediately pointed out scraphead wars

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

00:15:16.980 --> 00:15:20.180
um and

00:15:21.700 --> 00:15:26.340
Let's see That does work

00:15:26.900 --> 00:15:31.540
Um We started it super super early on in the in the history of our company

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

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

00:15:43.780 --> 00:15:46.180
I may have just been post bamboozled. Oh, yeah

00:15:46.980 --> 00:15:48.980
You guys were not gonna tell me

00:15:51.300 --> 00:15:56.340
May have misspelled it and somebody else bought the domain and made it link there

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

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

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

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

00:16:27.940 --> 00:16:31.380
Yeah, yeah, so no no no no. This is real. It's really okay

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

00:16:36.740 --> 00:16:39.940
Just like a because teachers did stuff like that when I was in school

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:17:22.980 --> 00:17:26.660
The values on our channel have always been

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

00:17:33.620 --> 00:17:37.140
Yeah, that's showing showing how like effective and valuable that is however

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

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

00:17:52.180 --> 00:17:57.300
So that I could you know install in my house creating a you know shrine to

00:17:58.500 --> 00:18:04.020
media Consumption like it's a whatever right my point is just that

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

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

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

00:18:20.900 --> 00:18:24.660
Right, so so I think you could make an argument that that I do

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

00:18:36.500 --> 00:18:40.660
Hmm I

00:18:41.060 --> 00:18:47.380
Don't know I think being interested in technology is not inherently like a sin

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

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

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

00:19:09.220 --> 00:19:13.380
Um, you're not actively recommending that people buy it. No, I'm not but like

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

00:19:24.820 --> 00:19:27.140
You are automatically going to

00:19:29.060 --> 00:19:33.540
Be you know communicating the positives of buying stuff

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?

00:19:39.380 --> 00:19:42.580
Darn it. I thought of what that as you were going into it. Fucking god

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

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

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

00:20:01.700 --> 00:20:06.340
I think automotive is actually an even easier argue to make for just the

00:20:07.140 --> 00:20:11.540
Unnecessariness of of that entire of that entire space personal transportation

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

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?

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

00:20:30.020 --> 00:20:34.260
Improve the viability of that rather than just accepting things the way that they are

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

00:20:41.380 --> 00:20:45.220
Safe alternative find me a channel that has only ever done that then

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

00:20:54.340 --> 00:20:58.340
There is no ethical consumption under in my opinion effectively any

00:20:59.220 --> 00:21:01.780
human system so just is what it is

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?

00:21:10.180 --> 00:21:14.580
So basically the person who made this slide did it on a laptop that has a

00:21:15.220 --> 00:21:18.580
Fat battery in it that probably has a bunch of cobalt in it

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

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

00:21:33.300 --> 00:21:35.300
um, I understand that

00:21:36.340 --> 00:21:41.540
You're almost making the so you hate society. Why do you participate in it?

00:21:41.940 --> 00:21:45.060
Why do you participate in an argument? Which is no, no, no, no

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

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

00:21:56.820 --> 00:22:00.100
I don't think we necessarily are I think we have certain content that

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

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

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

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

00:22:23.300 --> 00:22:26.820
Yeah, so like But I think we also

00:22:26.820 --> 00:22:29.780
Balance it out quite well by like, you know when a phone comes out

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

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

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

00:22:46.980 --> 00:22:48.980
No, you're probably fine

00:22:50.820 --> 00:22:54.420
You a gamer? All right, put your wallet away. You can sit this one out. Yeah

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

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

00:23:08.180 --> 00:23:10.180
Taylor Swift

00:23:12.100 --> 00:23:16.740
Yeah, so Taylor Taylor gets a lot of s***

00:23:16.820 --> 00:23:19.700
For her private jet use jet travel. Okay. Yeah. Yeah

00:23:20.420 --> 00:23:25.060
and I think that there is I personally I I

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

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

00:23:39.780 --> 00:23:43.780
Yeah, it doesn't seem great. You know the the the sheer amount of fuel consumption

00:23:43.860 --> 00:23:47.860
Also, like in in in Taylor's defense. Can you imagine?

00:23:49.300 --> 00:23:53.140
Taylor sitting on a normal plane the

00:23:53.220 --> 00:23:56.820
Attacks genuine attacks that she would probably be subject to

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

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

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

00:24:13.940 --> 00:24:19.940
Okay, Madonna Taylor. She's earned it. Okay. The point is that so so so

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

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

00:24:32.100 --> 00:24:35.380
keen on it. I don't think it's great for the world. Um

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

00:24:42.180 --> 00:24:48.260
Look at all the private jet travel she's doing and the many tons of co2

00:24:48.660 --> 00:24:51.540
That she creates compared to the average person

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

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

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?

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

00:25:17.780 --> 00:25:22.180
Everywhere she flew and and there's obviously some stuff that's a little unnecessary

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

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

00:25:33.300 --> 00:25:36.740
I bet you would have if you could maybe that was an option I

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

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

00:25:46.180 --> 00:25:48.580
There's a lot of kind of like going back and forth to places

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

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

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

00:26:04.820 --> 00:26:06.980
Look at the average person, but here's an argument

00:26:07.940 --> 00:26:09.940
What about the people who attended the concert?

00:26:12.580 --> 00:26:14.980
Do they own a share of those emissions?

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?

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

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?

00:26:38.100 --> 00:26:45.220
Exactly. Yes. Am I responsible for all the people who buy some phone or some laptop?

00:26:46.980 --> 00:26:48.980
Of course not. What?

00:26:50.900 --> 00:26:54.020
What do you mean? So let's go me and taylor, you know, we're

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

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

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

00:27:14.020 --> 00:27:18.020
That's two Dang

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

00:27:25.940 --> 00:27:27.940
You don't you don't want to listen to that

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

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

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

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?

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

00:28:12.500 --> 00:28:16.340
Has been for a while like

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

00:28:23.460 --> 00:28:25.460
And Taylor Swift is this

00:28:28.340 --> 00:28:30.340
Yeah, we're both blonde

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

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

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

00:28:50.740 --> 00:28:53.380
Have you seen the bodysuit she wears in the aris tour? No

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?

00:29:03.940 --> 00:29:05.940
Caught him, dude

00:29:09.380 --> 00:29:13.460
Linus is my ring, dude, okay, so what?

00:29:15.380 --> 00:29:18.420
What I'm supposed I'm supposed to not notice it looks pretty normal

00:29:19.380 --> 00:29:21.380
Yeah, she's got thighs

00:29:23.780 --> 00:29:25.860
She's tall though, uh, yeah

00:29:30.100 --> 00:29:33.700
Okay, let's move on topic number two. What do you want to talk about next?

00:29:38.260 --> 00:29:41.060
You got nothing I have to log back in so I got nothing

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

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

00:29:59.620 --> 00:30:04.180
That's probably not appropriate I think we're killing dad

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

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

00:30:23.620 --> 00:30:26.660
The complaint argues that the decision is a form of regulatory

00:30:27.540 --> 00:30:30.100
regulatory overreach that is arbitrary

00:30:30.820 --> 00:30:35.620
Capricious and an abuse of discretion in other american regulatory news

00:30:35.940 --> 00:30:40.900
AT&T and t-mobile have come out against a proposed FCC rule that would

00:30:41.460 --> 00:30:46.020
That would require carriers to unlock phones 60 days after activation. That sounds amazing

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

00:30:53.460 --> 00:30:58.740
According to t-mobile which locks prepaid phone phones for a year customers would be harmed

00:30:59.460 --> 00:31:01.460
By no longer having access to

00:31:02.500 --> 00:31:05.060
Free or heavily subsidized handsets

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

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

00:31:24.020 --> 00:31:32.100
Good for consumption We support this because heavily subsidized technology products encourage

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

00:31:41.860 --> 00:31:45.620
I mean if it cost the amount it actually cost if you were actually

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

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?

00:31:58.580 --> 00:32:01.460
If you actually saw the sticker price of that phone

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

00:32:09.700 --> 00:32:12.260
We are supportive of this

00:32:12.820 --> 00:32:17.300
Because it would expose the true cost of a new handset to the consumer

00:32:17.700 --> 00:32:21.700
And probably reduce the overall sales of new mobile devices

00:32:22.260 --> 00:32:29.300
That is a good Thing and yeah, if you rely on heavily subsidized phones then

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

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

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

00:32:48.580 --> 00:32:52.580
And then it will force them to compete on the cost of the monthly service

00:32:52.820 --> 00:32:55.940
Which will ultimately drive your total cost of ownership

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

00:33:06.260 --> 00:33:10.740
I really don't I will of course support this

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

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

00:33:26.740 --> 00:33:31.060
What what is that in like good lord like 16 days or something like that?

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

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

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

00:33:56.260 --> 00:34:00.100
Like like going in person to cancel gym memberships and stuff like that like dude

00:34:00.820 --> 00:34:04.900
So and basically what click to cancel means is whatever method you use to sign up

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

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

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

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

00:34:27.780 --> 00:34:31.060
um and a lot of especially like corporate

00:34:31.780 --> 00:34:35.940
Large multi-location franchise gyms have gyms all over the place

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

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

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

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?

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

00:35:08.180 --> 00:35:11.620
My american friends this this is now watch this drive. Sorry

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

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

00:35:28.020 --> 00:35:31.460
Bc had a weird one because like conservatives haven't been in power in bc

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

00:35:41.300 --> 00:35:45.060
Yeah, well our liberate our oh my god. Did you see christie clark?

00:35:45.780 --> 00:35:49.700
F**k volunteered herself to run the federal liberals like I could do it

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

00:35:57.780 --> 00:36:04.100
I would as well like imagine Imagine okay, we have we have justin trudeau

00:36:05.220 --> 00:36:09.540
Very imperfect leader Imagine being like, you know, it'd be better

00:36:09.540 --> 00:36:13.540
Corruption queen

00:36:14.980 --> 00:36:22.660
Are you kidding me? Oh man Oh, oh man. Yeah. Yeah, actually actually worse

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

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

00:36:36.660 --> 00:36:38.980
He's super imperfect. I'll put it that way

00:36:40.500 --> 00:36:44.500
There's levels of self-dealing and corruption

00:36:45.060 --> 00:36:47.620
He is only but an acolyte

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

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

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

00:37:14.660 --> 00:37:18.260
It's so Bad

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

00:37:25.780 --> 00:37:33.140
um Oh, yeah, oh, this this is amazing. Okay. This article is so bad

00:37:33.780 --> 00:37:36.980
Clark served as bc premier between blah blah blah blah blah blah

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

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

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

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?

00:38:02.340 --> 00:38:05.460
Hold on. Oh, no, I was looking for one that like basically was uh

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.

00:38:11.860 --> 00:38:14.620
Nope, nope, nope, I take it back. CTV, you're doing good.

00:38:16.180 --> 00:38:21.180
Go ahead and do a quick merge message or something there.

00:38:22.580 --> 00:38:25.780
Yeah, sure, I've got a couple for you here already.

00:38:25.780 --> 00:38:29.460
With the, oh, no, hold on, you gotta explain what it is and do your updates.

00:38:29.460 --> 00:38:33.660
No, Lou can do it. All right. If you go to lttstore.com,

00:38:33.660 --> 00:38:38.140
if you add something to your cart, like potentially a tech bro vest

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,

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

00:38:47.220 --> 00:38:50.460
to appear as a merge message on the LTT stream,

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.

00:38:54.140 --> 00:38:57.320
You can go in here and leave a message for the show,

00:38:57.320 --> 00:39:01.240
at which point it will be curated by Dan

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,

00:39:08.060 --> 00:39:11.420
or if you say super bad things that aren't allowed to show up on stream

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.

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.

00:39:23.860 --> 00:39:26.580
I'm listening. Oh crap, he's still here.

00:39:27.980 --> 00:39:31.000
Let's see, with the mention of the chair partner,

00:39:31.000 --> 00:39:34.800
the laptop partner and D brand and PIA during After Dark,

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

00:39:39.600 --> 00:39:41.340
on how much is too much?

00:39:42.720 --> 00:39:45.300
I think we need four times as much.

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,

00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:55.440
I think a very small amount of mentions at the beginning of the show,

00:39:55.440 --> 00:39:58.560
and then three not very long mentions in the middle of the show

00:39:58.560 --> 00:40:00.860
is really not a big deal personally.

00:40:01.760 --> 00:40:06.760
I agree with this merch message too many sponsor,

00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:12.520
someone said in a full-point chat. It when people consider the merch messages section

00:40:12.520 --> 00:40:17.520
at the end of the show to be a sponsor section,

00:40:17.980 --> 00:40:22.940
then I can understand that. I also have heard some people's comments

00:40:22.940 --> 00:40:26.040
about the banner at the bottom being too busy,

00:40:26.040 --> 00:40:29.160
and I think I can sometimes maybe agree,

00:40:29.160 --> 00:40:32.240
but these types of things take tuning. We'll figure it out.

00:40:32.240 --> 00:40:36.240
Yeah, yeah, I'd say so. What else I got?

00:40:36.240 --> 00:40:40.320
Maybe there's something here for Luke. I think I remember one.

00:40:45.640 --> 00:40:49.280
All right, one moment. I know I've got one here for Luke.

00:40:50.360 --> 00:40:54.000
Hey, WAN, my favorite flavor of DLL pickles.

00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:56.200
Question for Luke. I've got it.

00:40:57.720 --> 00:41:02.620
Never mind you, Luke, you get nothing. Yeah, okay, this is crazy.

00:41:02.620 --> 00:41:05.580
Okay, here we go, here we go. So cbc.ca.

00:41:06.940 --> 00:41:12.260
Clark's political history. Clark has been taking French lessons for several months

00:41:12.260 --> 00:41:16.300
according to a source close to her. That's not a political history.

00:41:16.300 --> 00:41:21.300
That's pandering nonsense. The former premier has already made two trips

00:41:21.300 --> 00:41:24.580
to the Sejet de Jean-Claire in Quebec

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.

00:41:29.740 --> 00:41:33.740
Okay, here we go. She has launched a TikTok account in the last month.

00:41:33.740 --> 00:41:37.300
What, are you gonna get to this at some point?

00:41:37.300 --> 00:41:40.980
That's good, I want my, you know. Or is this just gonna be puffery?

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.

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.

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.

00:41:54.780 --> 00:41:57.980
Ah, yes, during her six years as premier,

00:41:57.980 --> 00:42:02.820
she built a reputation as an environmentally conscious, fiscally prudent liberate.

00:42:02.820 --> 00:42:07.300
How do you champion the mining and oil industries while being environmentally conscious?

00:42:07.300 --> 00:42:11.100
Okay, sure. She resigned in 2017.

00:42:12.180 --> 00:42:16.220
She resigned nothing. She got booted the fuck out.

00:42:16.220 --> 00:42:20.140
It was a historical defeat. Historical.

00:42:20.140 --> 00:42:24.600
Sorry, let's continue. She resigned in 2017 when her minority government

00:42:24.600 --> 00:42:28.620
was defeated by an NDP confidence motion. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:42:28.620 --> 00:42:31.740
What happened was we the people sent you

00:42:31.740 --> 00:42:35.260
fucking packing is what happened. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

00:42:36.380 --> 00:42:39.860
The new Democrats then took over the province with the support of the Green Party.

00:42:39.860 --> 00:42:43.140
Her departure from politics left the BC Liberal Party in disarray.

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

00:42:49.660 --> 00:42:53.500
unable to win an election. That's what actually happened.

00:42:53.500 --> 00:42:56.060
To the point where it died. Yes.

00:42:57.060 --> 00:43:00.820
It's gone. In April, 2023, it officially rebranded

00:43:00.820 --> 00:43:04.300
and became BC United until it dissolved altogether

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.

00:43:09.660 --> 00:43:14.580
Oh, man. Okay, anyway, during the Conservative leadership mission

00:43:14.580 --> 00:43:17.660
for the Nationalist, okay.

00:43:17.660 --> 00:43:23.420
She's a regular federal politics commentator on several English language television and radio networks

00:43:23.420 --> 00:43:27.940
including CTV, CBC and Global. She also works as a guest speaker across Canada.

00:43:27.940 --> 00:43:30.980
That right there is all you need to know

00:43:30.980 --> 00:43:34.620
about how someone's career ended in politics.

00:43:34.620 --> 00:43:39.620
You went from leading one of the major regions of a country

00:43:40.460 --> 00:43:43.620
to being a guest speaker on like

00:43:43.620 --> 00:43:46.620
ancient legacy media nonsense.

00:43:46.620 --> 00:43:50.340
She has a TikTok. Good, yeah. Which she just launched.

00:43:50.340 --> 00:43:54.900
Please. Anyway. So, yeah.

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

00:44:02.500 --> 00:44:06.220
but their prescription and my eyes are tired now. Yeah, yeah.

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.

00:44:13.100 --> 00:44:18.980
Excited to try the pants. At what age did you let your kids start using screens?

00:44:18.980 --> 00:44:22.220
And also thoughts on all the smart baby devices out there?

00:44:22.580 --> 00:44:26.740
I let them start pretty young because I like to sleep in.

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.

00:44:31.340 --> 00:44:35.460
Now we've relaxed things a little bit. So they allocate screen time.

00:44:35.460 --> 00:44:39.060
They're older now though. Yes. But I just mean from the first to the third.

00:44:39.060 --> 00:44:42.900
I'm just clarifying, yeah. We just were like, we can't.

00:44:42.900 --> 00:44:46.660
Yeah. But we allocate screen time based on time they spend

00:44:46.660 --> 00:44:51.300
doing other things. So if they practice piano for 20 minutes

00:44:51.340 --> 00:44:55.020
then they can earn 20 minutes of screen time. Question for you. Yes.

00:44:55.020 --> 00:44:58.260
Do you ever worry about having things like screen time

00:44:58.260 --> 00:45:05.580
be a reward vector? Creating kind of an unnatural sort of desire for it

00:45:05.580 --> 00:45:09.580
and almost making it more addictive. When they no longer have the parental rules

00:45:09.580 --> 00:45:12.780
and they move out then, you know, do you ever worry about that?

00:45:12.780 --> 00:45:15.980
So that's Yvonne's worries about that more than I do

00:45:15.980 --> 00:45:19.220
because she was a TV on all the time household.

00:45:19.220 --> 00:45:23.060
The TV was like the fireplace in their household. It was just always on.

00:45:23.060 --> 00:45:28.060
It was the light and sound that was just in the living room

00:45:28.700 --> 00:45:33.180
that people kind of gathered around. And she had and has no problem like sitting

00:45:33.180 --> 00:45:36.860
and doing homework in front of the TV while a show is on.

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.

00:45:44.140 --> 00:45:47.180
And even then the time allocation to them

00:45:47.180 --> 00:45:52.740
was tightly controlled. And in both cases, households that have gone her way

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.

00:45:59.900 --> 00:46:03.820
So, I don't know, it might just kind of be what it is.

00:46:03.820 --> 00:46:07.500
Some people have a very addictive personality. Some people don't.

00:46:07.500 --> 00:46:09.820
I think generally philosophically,

00:46:11.820 --> 00:46:15.460
I am in favor of building good habits.

00:46:15.460 --> 00:46:18.580
And building the habit of doing something productive

00:46:18.580 --> 00:46:22.660
with your time rather than, you know, vegetating at every possible opportunity.

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

00:46:27.220 --> 00:46:33.980
and actually have done, I think a couple of times is having like structure holidays.

00:46:33.980 --> 00:46:37.780
So you just, you have, okay, we're off this week.

00:46:37.780 --> 00:46:40.820
And, you know, it's, we're on vacation

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,

00:46:45.060 --> 00:46:48.460
your laptop, whatever the TV, we don't care.

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,

00:46:52.420 --> 00:46:55.700
it's back to the, so, I don't know, there's.

00:46:57.900 --> 00:47:01.540
All right, Artie, I was a screen on kid and now I'm chronically online.

00:47:02.740 --> 00:47:06.060
There you go. Yeah. But I mean, he made a career out of it.

00:47:06.060 --> 00:47:09.420
He's got 100,000 subscribers on his channel. Oh, really?

00:47:09.420 --> 00:47:12.780
Yeah, you didn't know that? No. Yeah, Artie has a channel. That's pretty sick.

00:47:13.620 --> 00:47:18.820
What was I gonna say? I think the incredibly hyper-addictive nature

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.

00:47:21.860 --> 00:47:26.980
Oh, they're not allowed on TikTok. Okay, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, Facebook.

00:47:26.980 --> 00:47:32.060
YouTube Shorts, the one watched too much YouTube

00:47:32.060 --> 00:47:36.820
for a bit, not Shorts. He was mostly into like Minecraft let's plays

00:47:36.820 --> 00:47:41.500
and stuff like that, yeah. But we've talked to him about that recently.

00:47:41.500 --> 00:47:43.260
We've kind of cut down on that.

00:47:46.380 --> 00:47:50.180
So some of those hyper-addictive doom-scrolly ones,

00:47:50.180 --> 00:47:53.220
we basically are like, no. Yeah.

00:47:53.220 --> 00:47:56.900
But yeah, at some point they're gonna have to figure it out, you're right.

00:47:56.900 --> 00:47:59.340
It's weird, it's, that's the,

00:48:01.260 --> 00:48:04.940
when talking about kids right now, there's like, I mean, there's all those conversations

00:48:04.940 --> 00:48:09.420
around Cocomelon and how just like brain-destroying Cocomelon is.

00:48:09.420 --> 00:48:12.740
Is Cocomelon bad? I don't even know Cocomelon really. As far as my understanding goes,

00:48:12.740 --> 00:48:15.340
Cocomelon is specifically designed to

00:48:16.420 --> 00:48:18.200
just crank screen time.

00:48:19.540 --> 00:48:23.300
And it's like actually very brain-roddy for kids. Oh, interesting.

00:48:23.300 --> 00:48:28.020
I don't know much about it. My kids, I think, missed the Cocomelon window.

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,

00:48:31.900 --> 00:48:35.420
but yeah, people are saying Bluey's good. As far as my understanding goes,

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.

00:48:40.700 --> 00:48:44.700
Miss Rachel or whatever, she's supposed to be really good. Cocomelon, apparently there's like

00:48:44.700 --> 00:48:48.740
measured decreases in like development

00:48:48.740 --> 00:48:52.580
from Hoji and Cocomelon, yeah. Oh, wow, okay. It's really bad, yeah.

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.

00:48:56.380 --> 00:48:59.580
I just, I've- Dude, I came across- It's an interesting topic to me.

00:48:59.580 --> 00:49:03.940
I came across another like family vlog channel recently

00:49:03.940 --> 00:49:07.860
that's like exploding. They're doing like 300, 400 million views a month

00:49:07.860 --> 00:49:12.900
or something like that. And it's pretty much all shorts of these two little girls

00:49:12.900 --> 00:49:16.500
like acting out skits, like, you know,

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

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,

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?

00:49:28.260 --> 00:49:32.260
Like family vlogging is actually a terrible, terrible thing.

00:49:32.260 --> 00:49:35.980
It needs to go away like immediately, like legislatively.

00:49:35.980 --> 00:49:39.940
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

00:49:39.940 --> 00:49:42.380
I just make my kids only watch LTT.

00:49:44.220 --> 00:49:47.860
Sure. Oh boy. Oh man. Okay.

00:49:49.580 --> 00:49:53.820
Oh, we have some announcements. Well, let's do some announcements, shall we?

00:49:55.380 --> 00:50:00.060
LTTstore.com secret shopper is now live.

00:50:00.060 --> 00:50:04.660
Whoa, right now on Floatplane.

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.

00:50:10.620 --> 00:50:14.740
I love this thumbnail. That is pretty great.

00:50:14.740 --> 00:50:18.100
Yeah. Did you know that they make them with just the glasses and the mustache?

00:50:18.100 --> 00:50:22.300
That's my real nose. See, look, I guarantee you can't tell the difference.

00:50:22.300 --> 00:50:26.980
Oh my God. Me wearing a fake big nose really does feel unnecessary,

00:50:26.980 --> 00:50:31.100
though. Is that working? I can't hear anything.

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?

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?

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.

00:50:42.260 --> 00:50:45.700
Okay, sure, yeah, we can watch a bit of the intro. Sure, okay, is it working?

00:50:47.140 --> 00:50:51.300
Yeah, I want audio. We need audio. Oh, I have other stuff playing.

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.

00:50:54.540 --> 00:50:57.620
I'm picking up what you're throwing down, Mr. Dan. Okay, we good?

00:50:57.620 --> 00:51:03.820
I think so. Okay, guys, this was one of the biggest risks,

00:51:04.500 --> 00:51:08.980
I think we've ever taken. And I understand, I understand

00:51:08.980 --> 00:51:12.820
how you could look at the premise and think. Oh, they shopped at their own store,

00:51:12.820 --> 00:51:16.460
they're just gonna make sure it goes well. But as you're about to see,

00:51:16.460 --> 00:51:20.140
we intentionally built this in a way

00:51:20.140 --> 00:51:24.300
that forced us to be held accountable regardless of the outcome.

00:51:24.300 --> 00:51:26.340
And so yeah, here it comes.

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.

00:51:34.980 --> 00:51:38.860
But after today, I won't have to imagine it.

00:51:38.860 --> 00:51:45.660
And neither will Nick, because I paid five of you to secret shop our store

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.

00:51:53.940 --> 00:51:57.420
Nick looks genuinely uncomfortable. He doesn't know what it is.

00:51:57.420 --> 00:52:01.140
Oh, Nick. He didn't know. Really?

00:52:01.140 --> 00:52:04.380
All he knew was that he was going to help co-host a video.

00:52:05.220 --> 00:52:08.820
So he sat down, he found out when I said that. Holy crap.

00:52:08.820 --> 00:52:13.420
You know how much I value genuine reactions on camera.

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,

00:52:17.260 --> 00:52:21.580
fake, fake, fake. You're just actually f***ing idiots.

00:52:21.580 --> 00:52:26.580
Like, I care so much about capturing real reactions.

00:52:26.980 --> 00:52:30.420
We're in our mid-30s. I've known Nick since we were in grade eight.

00:52:30.420 --> 00:52:34.100
He was very uncomfortable. Oh, yeah.

00:52:34.100 --> 00:52:37.340
Oh, yeah. Oh, man.

00:52:37.340 --> 00:52:42.100
Enjoy, because I got a sneak peek and it's not all sunshine and rainbows.

00:52:42.100 --> 00:52:44.780
Unlike this segue to our sponsor.

00:52:46.020 --> 00:52:50.780
This is a star. Did it knock over? I'm so incredibly curious now.

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.

00:52:55.300 --> 00:53:01.580
Well, there is one way to do so. You will just have to subscribe to Floatplane.

00:53:01.620 --> 00:53:04.900
Dude, don't be upset. This is promoting Floatplane. You should be very supportive of that.

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,

00:53:09.820 --> 00:53:14.700
you can pick up an FP exclusive Dino-Sore shirt.

00:53:14.700 --> 00:53:17.940
Designed by the one and only. By the way, it's a little bit confusing

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

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.

00:53:26.940 --> 00:53:30.700
Yes. The Dinosaur Plane thing. Designed by the one and only Sarah Butt.

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.

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.

00:53:39.540 --> 00:53:44.380
We demonstrated one product, the birdie personal CO2 alarm incorrectly.

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.

00:53:50.900 --> 00:53:54.780
So we removed that section from the original video to avoid misrepresenting the product.

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.

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

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

00:54:13.700 --> 00:54:16.420
or logging or anything.

00:54:17.460 --> 00:54:22.460
It doesn't detect any other potentially harmful gases.

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.

00:54:29.540 --> 00:54:34.540
But anyway, yeah, it definitely does what it says it does.

00:54:35.580 --> 00:54:41.300
So yeah, good for them. Okay, oh, also it's folding month.

00:54:41.300 --> 00:54:45.460
Folding month begins November 1st and the LMG community is once again participating

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

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

00:54:55.020 --> 00:54:58.100
for prizes, signups close next Monday.

00:54:58.100 --> 00:55:04.500
So please join the team. Finally, let's talk about AI, crypto and biohacking.

00:55:04.780 --> 00:55:08.780
Yeah. Does it look like we wanna talk about those things?

00:55:08.780 --> 00:55:12.780
It should because we're wearing the new tech bro vest from LTT Store.

00:55:12.780 --> 00:55:16.580
Something, something dogecoin. It's insulated with the same 3D down

00:55:16.580 --> 00:55:22.220
that you would find on our old 3D down jacket, meaning that it is surprisingly warm

00:55:22.220 --> 00:55:26.660
for how light the vest actually is. It's also made of a water resistant material

00:55:26.660 --> 00:55:30.180
and has a soft tricot knit back, which is quite comfy.

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.

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.

00:55:39.380 --> 00:55:43.080
It's totally up to you. It is kind of outer wear though,

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.

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,

00:55:52.420 --> 00:55:57.020
it's loaded with YKK zippered pockets. So you can always have your essentials on hand.

00:55:57.020 --> 00:56:02.500
Task-based AI is the future. Available now at LMG.GG slash tech bro.

00:56:02.500 --> 00:56:06.060
So here's Nate actually wears one of these vests every day.

00:56:06.060 --> 00:56:09.460
So this was like the most appropriate possible model for us to have here.

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.

00:56:14.060 --> 00:56:17.700
Oh, just, okay, I'm sorry.

00:56:17.700 --> 00:56:22.700
Knowing Nate, this picture is way funnier than if you don't know Nate.

00:56:22.700 --> 00:56:27.900
He's working on an electronics engineering project for us that is very, very exciting.

00:56:27.900 --> 00:56:33.780
And he 100% wears a vest and 100% would look exactly like that.

00:56:33.780 --> 00:56:39.380
Anyway, oh my God. They definitely picked the best people to model this.

00:56:39.380 --> 00:56:42.380
There's Sean from the Infra team. Dude, right though?

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.

00:56:47.420 --> 00:56:51.700
3D down. It's basically our 3D down jacket without the sleeves.

00:56:51.700 --> 00:56:56.820
Yeah. So there you go. Nothing says disruptive innovation like the tech bro vest.

00:56:56.820 --> 00:57:00.700
Oh my God. Okay, the team working on the copy

00:57:00.700 --> 00:57:04.620
has actually gotten really, really funny over the last little bit.

00:57:04.620 --> 00:57:07.780
I love it. Nice.

00:57:07.780 --> 00:57:10.980
Nice. Got the offsite laptop bag.

00:57:11.860 --> 00:57:15.020
AirPods. That's what a guy who's company was just reviewed looks like.

00:57:15.020 --> 00:57:19.660
Yeah. All right, cool. All right, what else we got going on, Dan?

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?

00:57:24.980 --> 00:57:29.980
NVIDIA to ship one billion risk five cores this year.

00:57:30.780 --> 00:57:33.940
NVIDIA gave a keynote speech at the risk five summit

00:57:33.940 --> 00:57:38.900
with the speaker estimating that the company expects to ship about a billion risk five cores

00:57:38.900 --> 00:57:42.580
across its GPUs, CPUs, SOCs, and other products.

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

00:57:47.620 --> 00:57:51.380
EPCC Supercomputing Center. The company has been switching

00:57:51.380 --> 00:57:55.820
from its proprietary microcontrollers to ones that are built on the open source ISA

00:57:55.820 --> 00:57:58.940
since at least 2015 and have now revealed

00:57:58.940 --> 00:58:03.380
that they have fully phased out their former Falcon microcontroller

00:58:03.380 --> 00:58:06.580
in favor of custom risk five cores. Sick.

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.

00:58:13.620 --> 00:58:18.980
The company has developed at least three risk five microcontroller cores and more than 20

00:58:18.980 --> 00:58:23.620
custom risk five extensions. NVIDIA GPUs have apparently had risk five GPU system

00:58:23.620 --> 00:58:27.100
processors since Turing. Really? I didn't know that.

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,

00:58:31.780 --> 00:58:35.940
you know, the monitoring that they do and the load balancing and all the cool stuff

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,

00:58:41.020 --> 00:58:45.220
at least not way back then. I didn't know. I didn't know.

00:58:45.220 --> 00:58:48.380
Risk five, dude. That's what somebody knew.

00:58:48.380 --> 00:58:52.340
Risk five is freaking everywhere.

00:58:52.340 --> 00:58:58.140
Yeah. It's really exciting. And especially if you look at the way

00:58:58.140 --> 00:59:05.020
that the relationship between ARM and at least one of their partners is going right now.

00:59:05.020 --> 00:59:08.460
Dude, it is not a good time for ARM

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

00:59:14.340 --> 00:59:20.900
magnanimous and easy to work with because risk five has no licensing fees,

00:59:20.900 --> 00:59:22.500
no licensing fees.

00:59:23.900 --> 00:59:27.460
I'm excited. I am really excited about a risk five future.

00:59:27.460 --> 00:59:32.180
I've still been dailying my Snapdragon Windows laptop.

00:59:32.180 --> 00:59:35.300
Ever since the challenge ended, I just, I don't know,

00:59:35.300 --> 00:59:38.980
but they took the AMD framework that I built on ShortCircuit

00:59:38.980 --> 00:59:42.780
because they needed it for something. And then they apparently needed it for something

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.

00:59:48.340 --> 00:59:51.620
But overall, I'm blown away at how usable it is

00:59:51.620 --> 00:59:56.620
and seeing translation layers, work to run programs

01:00:00.020 --> 01:00:03.660
that major companies like NVIDIA are making into risk five

01:00:03.660 --> 01:00:05.620
and making it better, making it viable.

01:00:07.420 --> 01:00:12.180
I'm pretty hopeful. It's a good sign.

01:00:12.180 --> 01:00:15.100
Having a big company behind a project like that

01:00:16.460 --> 01:00:19.820
can sometimes be scary, but often gives it long-term legs

01:00:19.820 --> 01:00:24.740
that just being open-sourced doesn't, even though I'm saying that about a project

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

01:00:29.380 --> 01:00:32.580
and say, okay, okay, this is open-source and like it's super cool,

01:00:32.580 --> 01:00:35.780
but how are we gonna push it forward?

01:00:35.780 --> 01:00:38.180
You need cooperation. Yeah, that's good.

01:00:39.580 --> 01:00:42.940
Squarespace going private? Sure, why don't you talk about that?

01:00:42.940 --> 01:00:46.180
Permira, Permaira, something?

01:00:46.180 --> 01:00:50.500
A private equity firm has purchased all available common stock for Squarespace,

01:00:50.500 --> 01:00:53.500
meaning that Squarespace is no longer a publicly traded company.

01:00:53.500 --> 01:00:58.060
Squarespace went public three years ago in 2021 and yo-yo to fair amount after that.

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.

01:01:03.700 --> 01:01:08.340
In 2022, its market cap fell off a cliff, hitting $2 billion,

01:01:08.340 --> 01:01:12.740
which while still a lot of money is significantly less than 10,

01:01:12.740 --> 01:01:16.020
before gradually returning to $5 billion,

01:01:16.020 --> 01:01:20.660
which again is quite a swing. $3 billion is kind of a lot.

01:01:20.660 --> 01:01:25.900
And then Permaira's purchase is worth a combined total of $7.2 billion,

01:01:25.900 --> 01:01:30.500
likely indicating a degree of confidence that this rebound wasn't accidental.

01:01:30.500 --> 01:01:34.580
It's unclear what, if anything, will change for Squarespace clients.

01:01:34.580 --> 01:01:38.140
And my dyslexia read that as SpongeBob at first.

01:01:38.140 --> 01:01:41.740
Our discussion question is, I have no idea what Linus was going for

01:01:41.740 --> 01:01:45.260
when he sent this story. Does this affect our company somehow?

01:01:46.140 --> 01:01:50.340
Well, Squarespace has been one of our longest running partners.

01:01:50.340 --> 01:01:54.260
Are they? No, not quite. Close to the longest, but not the longest.

01:01:54.260 --> 01:01:58.460
Yeah, they go way back with LTT.

01:01:58.500 --> 01:02:02.540
And I guess all I'm trying to say is,

01:02:04.700 --> 01:02:07.740
Permaira, please don't screw it up.

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.

01:02:13.700 --> 01:02:17.700
Yeah. There's a lot of people that scrambled to leave

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

01:02:21.940 --> 01:02:25.220
that domains are going from Squarespace to Squarespace still,

01:02:25.220 --> 01:02:28.660
but public to private. People are looking for alternatives.

01:02:28.660 --> 01:02:34.780
It's a thing. Yeah. So, you know, just don't bung it up, please.

01:02:34.780 --> 01:02:37.940
We like working with Squarespace. We like using the product.

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?

01:02:45.820 --> 01:02:49.940
CatOS, or CatTalk, whoa.

01:02:49.940 --> 01:02:53.060
I think I just realized that CatOS has another T in it.

01:02:53.060 --> 01:02:55.660
I don't think I ever registered that before, but okay.

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.

01:03:03.180 --> 01:03:06.500
Like Cloudflare doesn't support .ca. Oh, okay.

01:03:06.500 --> 01:03:10.580
Yeah, that's a problem for Canadians. Yeah. So we can't just have Cloudflare.

01:03:10.580 --> 01:03:13.740
Right. So we have to use something else.

01:03:13.740 --> 01:03:17.580
And previously we did use Google domains. Right. And now obviously we don't.

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.

01:03:22.660 --> 01:03:27.740
Oh, well you did. Yeah, I know. We don't use it at all anymore.

01:03:27.740 --> 01:03:32.100
Yeah, no, I know. Oh man.

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?

01:03:37.420 --> 01:03:40.100
I don't remember the name. Oh my gosh. Danicapatchet said it was good.

01:03:42.100 --> 01:03:44.340
If only she was good at racing. Oh no.

01:03:47.500 --> 01:03:52.940
She was pretty good. Oh, you know what? Speaking of lady race drivers,

01:03:52.980 --> 01:03:56.220
you know who I would love to see tackle that?

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.

01:04:01.500 --> 01:04:04.860
Just, no, I don't know. I don't believe you.

01:04:04.860 --> 01:04:08.500
It started with it. It was like Grange or something. It's gonna bother me now.

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.

01:04:17.220 --> 01:04:20.700
Oh yeah. The domain thing. What are you guys even talking about? The registrar.

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?

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.

01:04:29.700 --> 01:04:33.460
That's not what a honeypot is. Okay. Got him.

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,

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?

01:04:42.540 --> 01:04:45.820
Fair enough. You know better. It's fine.

01:04:47.700 --> 01:04:51.100
Oh my God. Lucas, now the security risk.

01:04:52.580 --> 01:04:55.940
Sure. Oh, dude. Dude. The hat has been transferred.

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.

01:05:01.780 --> 01:05:03.220
Don't get out of this stock.

01:05:05.140 --> 01:05:06.340
Short LTT.

01:05:08.300 --> 01:05:09.140
Okay.

01:05:12.580 --> 01:05:13.420
Oh no.

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.

01:05:23.020 --> 01:05:27.220
You can't have inside jokes on a podcast, you guys.

01:05:27.220 --> 01:05:29.740
AJ just said it in public chat.

01:05:38.740 --> 01:05:42.740
Oh man. All right. The show is brought to you by JumpCloud.

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.

01:05:46.300 --> 01:05:51.020
I just mean, I just mean normally we just don't talk about it at all.

01:05:51.060 --> 01:05:55.460
We just don't bring it up. Maybe we need JumpCloud to help with our idea.

01:05:55.460 --> 01:05:57.060
We don't know what we're doing.

01:05:58.660 --> 01:06:02.500
Yes, you can elicit a domain. I know, it just, oh my God.

01:06:02.500 --> 01:06:05.540
Lucas is wrong. He's not wrong. It's just very funny.

01:06:05.540 --> 01:06:08.700
Do we have to use multiple? Cause some of them don't have like Canadian domains.

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.

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.

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

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.

01:06:26.580 --> 01:06:29.900
Now you're basically just asking them to figure it out.

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.

01:06:38.100 --> 01:06:41.340
Oh, apparently AJ's stream was delayed. He wasn't there yet.

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,

01:06:48.660 --> 01:06:52.300
no, he might have been reliant. Nope. Okay.

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.

01:06:56.860 --> 01:07:00.540
Yeah, he has that technology. He's pretty smart, AJ.

01:07:00.540 --> 01:07:04.660
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's when it comes to security.

01:07:05.820 --> 01:07:09.180
Yeah. All right.

01:07:09.180 --> 01:07:14.020
Our address is 18643. What is this?

01:07:14.020 --> 01:07:17.860
External IP. 52 Avenue. 127.0.0.

01:07:19.660 --> 01:07:25.380
Oh. All right, the show is brought to you today by JumpCloud.

01:07:25.380 --> 01:07:30.380
Managing IT systems can sometimes feel like chasing ghosts.

01:07:30.380 --> 01:07:33.500
You think you caught one and another one pops up.

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.

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

01:07:43.580 --> 01:07:47.220
zapping problems before they even appear.

01:07:47.220 --> 01:07:51.100
JumpCloud is an open directory platform that centralizes your entire tech stack

01:07:51.100 --> 01:07:54.300
from user identities to device management access.

01:07:54.300 --> 01:07:58.300
Imagine managing Windows, Apple, Linux, and Android devices from one place,

01:07:58.300 --> 01:08:02.500
all while working securely from anywhere. My mother's made a name as Smith.

01:08:02.500 --> 01:08:05.540
Upgrade your outdated Active Directory.

01:08:05.540 --> 01:08:06.380
I'm sorry.

01:08:09.260 --> 01:08:13.460
It's great. Sorry, Danny, go ahead. Upgrade your outdated Active Directory

01:08:13.460 --> 01:08:17.860
with JumpCloud's cloud-based solution and leave administrative headaches behind.

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

01:08:22.380 --> 01:08:25.540
like hardware-backed authentication and biometric logins.

01:08:25.540 --> 01:08:30.660
JumpCloud is IT simplified. Try it out for yourself at the link in the video description.

01:08:31.580 --> 01:08:35.740
The show is also brought to you by Fallout 76.

01:08:35.740 --> 01:08:39.780
Are you busy this weekend? If not, you will be.

01:08:39.780 --> 01:08:45.220
Because you can play Fallout 76 for free from now until the 29th on PC, Xbox,

01:08:45.220 --> 01:08:50.140
and PlayStation. Most of you probably already know about Fallout 76,

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,

01:08:55.740 --> 01:08:59.100
fight monsters, and rebuild after a nuclear war.

01:08:59.100 --> 01:09:03.180
It's all about surviving and having fun in the wasteland together.

01:09:03.180 --> 01:09:07.420
The game's always getting fresh updates like the Skyline Valley expansion earlier this year

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.

01:09:13.660 --> 01:09:16.260
We will have that linked in the video description.

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

01:09:20.780 --> 01:09:22.780
like a shopping cart while you're gaming?

01:09:25.020 --> 01:09:28.180
Wow. Well, say goodbye to Instability

01:09:28.180 --> 01:09:33.940
with our sponsor, FlexiSpot. Their E7 plus standing desk can support up to 540 pounds

01:09:33.940 --> 01:09:36.980
static and 440 pounds while lifting.

01:09:36.980 --> 01:09:40.860
Even if you were to jump off it for whatever reason, the desk stays rock solid.

01:09:40.860 --> 01:09:44.180
Okay, yeah, okay. Thankfully, no one here was doing that.

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.

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.

01:09:51.980 --> 01:09:56.780
Meh, okay. With its patented frame design, the E7 plus easily adapts to monitor mounts,

01:09:56.780 --> 01:10:00.780
under desk drawers, and keyboard trays. They've also got the C7 ergonomic office chair,

01:10:00.780 --> 01:10:04.220
which features a roomy adjustable seat and tons of customization.

01:10:04.220 --> 01:10:08.340
You can adjust the headrest, armrests, height, and you can recline to fit your comfort.

01:10:08.340 --> 01:10:11.840
Plus, it comes with a 30-day return policy and 10-year warranty.

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.

01:10:16.600 --> 01:10:19.880

01:10:19.880 --> 01:10:24.380
for $50 off the E7 plus, C7, and C7Max chairs.

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.

01:10:30.920 --> 01:10:35.440
Here's the pickle guys back. Hey, when my favorite flavor of DLL pickles.

01:10:35.440 --> 01:10:39.040
Question for Luke. Helldivers2 recently concluded its 63-day promise

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.

01:10:43.780 --> 01:10:45.580
No. No.

01:10:48.460 --> 01:10:51.540
No. I probably won't.

01:10:51.540 --> 01:10:55.900
I definitely won't. You don't even own it. Well, yeah, but like, whatever.

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,

01:11:01.660 --> 01:11:06.420
dude, picking up a new game these days. When you're not familiar with the meta,

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.

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

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.

01:11:23.180 --> 01:11:27.500
And I'm just, I don't have time. I mean, it is a PvE game.

01:11:27.500 --> 01:11:31.580
Sure. So like, but I don't have a crew to carry me.

01:11:31.580 --> 01:11:34.620
You could. Let's do some puggies. What?

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.

01:11:38.020 --> 01:11:41.900
Wow. Wow, Chad move here.

01:11:41.900 --> 01:11:45.140
We also have a bunch of people in the office that play.

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,

01:11:49.100 --> 01:11:52.140
we're gonna- Yeah, exactly, or play tape to tape.

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.

01:11:58.540 --> 01:12:00.500
I'm not trying to like, fling people.

01:12:02.500 --> 01:12:06.820
The game's not actually hard. I'm not trying to fling people.

01:12:06.820 --> 01:12:11.820
Really, do go on. Joe and I used to do the hardest difficulty as a duo

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.

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.

01:12:21.340 --> 01:12:25.100
If only he was as good at super checks as he is at Hell Divers 2.

01:12:25.100 --> 01:12:29.420
Wow. Literally stopped playing because he was tired of getting his monkey spanked.

01:12:29.420 --> 01:12:33.580
That's not true. My monkey spank?

01:12:37.780 --> 01:12:41.300
Oh my goodness. Why are we playing?

01:12:41.300 --> 01:12:44.380
Okay, so I have to do bird meds tonight. Yeah.

01:12:44.380 --> 01:12:47.700
But then afterwards you invited me to play pool. Yeah, let's play pool.

01:12:48.580 --> 01:12:52.380
Is it the Vess? What, no? I got a pool table.

01:12:53.460 --> 01:12:57.780
Why, yeah, are you gonna move super checks there? I was thinking that, yeah.

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.

01:13:02.740 --> 01:13:07.180
I was thinking, I wanna get a pinball machine. Dude, what a flipping,

01:13:07.220 --> 01:13:11.620
or rather a whole pinball machine. They can cost as much as a new car.

01:13:11.620 --> 01:13:14.780
You get a stern one. If it's like a good one,

01:13:14.780 --> 01:13:18.740
it's like the Pirates of the Caribbean special edition

01:13:18.740 --> 01:13:21.740
or whatever, or they can be like flip and cheap,

01:13:21.740 --> 01:13:26.020
they can be like just a couple grand, even though they're supposedly fully functional.

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

01:13:31.300 --> 01:13:37.220
and they'll do all kinds of mods and stuff and expand the sound effects

01:13:37.220 --> 01:13:42.380
and make it play different music. There's like the depth of pinball machines.

01:13:42.380 --> 01:13:45.900
I'm looking at it going like, I would need a consultant

01:13:45.900 --> 01:13:49.220
before I would be able to confidently buy a pinball machine.

01:13:49.220 --> 01:13:52.820
Just buy a stern one. Yeah, but I don't want it to depreciate three grand

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.

01:13:56.940 --> 01:14:01.780
Like I don't know. I used stern one. It's fricking wild, dude.

01:14:01.780 --> 01:14:09.180
It's wild. But Ice Weasel says Linus jumping into other hobbies

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.

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.

01:14:18.060 --> 01:14:21.460
I'm talking about how it's a rabbit hole. What a crazy take.

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

01:14:27.300 --> 01:14:30.500
and it seems like I couldn't possibly hope to.

01:14:30.500 --> 01:14:34.260
Why is Pirates of the Caribbean worth more than Captain America?

01:14:34.260 --> 01:14:38.180
I don't know. Yo, there's. I have no idea.

01:14:38.180 --> 01:14:42.980
There's a $16,000 Adams family pinball machine.

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.

01:14:47.340 --> 01:14:50.940
This is refurbished. This is 1992 refurbished. The pinball company.

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.

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.

01:15:01.260 --> 01:15:05.340
And just the range. Like they go from two grand to $20,000.

01:15:05.340 --> 01:15:07.860
And these are second hand machines. So they're all second hand.

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.

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

01:15:16.660 --> 01:15:20.660
that Ploof's car had been odometer swapped.

01:15:20.660 --> 01:15:24.420
Oh really? Yeah. So it had like markings from an auto wrecker on it.

01:15:24.420 --> 01:15:27.540
Once they pulled it out that were like low kilometers.

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.

01:15:31.820 --> 01:15:35.660
So like, I don't know. Can you odometer swap a pinball? I don't know.

01:15:38.860 --> 01:15:42.380
Freaking ridiculous. No one makes them anymore. They're all vintage. No, that's not true.

01:15:42.380 --> 01:15:46.660
That's totally not true. Stern, I've said it like a bunch of times.

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.

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,

01:15:55.420 --> 01:15:58.860
and that I kind of, I at least like played the game.

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

01:16:05.140 --> 01:16:09.500
owners, owners thread on like some pinball forum

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,

01:16:14.540 --> 01:16:17.980
but there's like four variants of the game.

01:16:17.980 --> 01:16:21.060
Pinball, it's endless.

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,

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,

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.

01:16:36.460 --> 01:16:40.020
But I, yeah, I just, I want one for the lounge basically

01:16:40.020 --> 01:16:43.460
for the, for the members lounge at the badminton club. Yeah.

01:16:46.100 --> 01:16:50.300
Okay, let's see. Hey, Wampool, I was eyeing those cargo pants,

01:16:50.300 --> 01:16:54.740
but as an extra short boy, 24 inseam, I had to hold off.

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.

01:16:58.540 --> 01:17:02.060
Ancient. Cool. A couple of questions.

01:17:02.060 --> 01:17:05.340
Are they hemmable? Are there plans for a short version?

01:17:05.340 --> 01:17:06.620
How are the sales?

01:17:08.460 --> 01:17:11.500
Unfortunately, they are not easily hemmable.

01:17:11.500 --> 01:17:15.020
And right now we don't have plans for a shorter inseam.

01:17:15.020 --> 01:17:20.660
Sales have been pretty solid though. Yeah. I think this is our first really successful pant.

01:17:21.420 --> 01:17:24.940
Oh, I, yeah, I think we need like a short.

01:17:24.940 --> 01:17:29.140
Oh, shorts. Or maybe. No, no, no, no.

01:17:29.140 --> 01:17:30.940
Yeah, no, no, no, smaller inseam.

01:17:42.020 --> 01:17:45.660
Oh, sorry. Yep, good. Cool.

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.

01:17:51.660 --> 01:17:54.860
Never save a file to your local machine. Didn't you fix that?

01:17:56.180 --> 01:18:00.300
No, I fixed a different issue. I fixed an issue where a file was deleted off

01:18:00.300 --> 01:18:04.460
of the server over a week ago. And we had to recover it.

01:18:04.460 --> 01:18:07.660
From a cloud. Ooh. We got it.

01:18:07.660 --> 01:18:11.420
Good job guys. Nice. Bad. Nice. Scary.

01:18:11.420 --> 01:18:14.100
Good job guys. May I ask what the file was?

01:18:15.100 --> 01:18:19.700
It was a, it was a Floorplane exclusive.

01:18:22.380 --> 01:18:25.460
What was it? A denoised version.

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

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

01:18:34.260 --> 01:18:37.260
of working copies that we have. Oh, we got it. Yeah.

01:18:37.260 --> 01:18:41.500
Okay, great. Cause we only have three days of on-site replication.

01:18:41.500 --> 01:18:43.700
So it gets really messed up. Got it.

01:18:44.540 --> 01:18:50.380
Oh, okay. So we did that one. Last one I got for you at heydll.wan.

01:18:50.380 --> 01:18:53.620
Could we get a feature to buy items not in stock?

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.

01:19:00.460 --> 01:19:02.140
Thanks for everything. No.

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

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.

01:19:13.860 --> 01:19:17.780
The short answer is no, it's really hard.

01:19:17.780 --> 01:19:22.380
And the odds that some other item would accidentally go out of stock

01:19:22.380 --> 01:19:27.380
while we got the other item in stock would be really high.

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

01:19:33.860 --> 01:19:38.300
and then what wait, when did we deliver it?

01:19:38.300 --> 01:19:41.620
Did the order get placed now? Or is it when we've fulfilled it?

01:19:41.660 --> 01:19:45.540
And then the return window tracking and then the accounting complication

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?

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.

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

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.

01:20:02.140 --> 01:20:06.060
How often do you have reviews that say they're gonna purchase five to 10 more

01:20:06.060 --> 01:20:09.180
of the thing that they... I don't know, but what is that for?

01:20:09.180 --> 01:20:12.220
Only the best thing in the world. Yes, yes, yes.

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.

01:20:16.540 --> 01:20:19.580
Can you sell them in like 20 packs? They don't exist.

01:20:19.580 --> 01:20:23.420
Can I have bulk? Bulk packs. I would buy them in bulk.

01:20:23.420 --> 01:20:25.140
Especially if they're not gonna be

01:20:26.900 --> 01:20:30.020
have any printing on them. Wow, these are getting really good reviews.

01:20:30.020 --> 01:20:33.140
All right, well, I'm just glad you guys like them, all right? The tall shirts?

01:20:33.140 --> 01:20:37.500
Yeah. As far as my understanding goes, they're currently perfect reviews. Thank you.

01:20:37.500 --> 01:20:40.740
Don't tempt them. We love you. That's true.

01:20:40.740 --> 01:20:44.380
I still remember when I had that video that had zero dislikes for like years.

01:20:44.380 --> 01:20:48.060
And then I mentioned on Wanshoe, it just got bombed. Yeah. It's like you, butts.

01:20:48.060 --> 01:20:51.500
That's what happens. And these are the guys that like us.

01:20:51.500 --> 01:20:54.500
Yeah. That questionable.

01:20:54.500 --> 01:21:00.140
Yeah. There's people that hate watch. This is actually something I have encountered.

01:21:00.140 --> 01:21:03.620
Like I have encountered posts that are like

01:21:03.620 --> 01:21:08.380
this long about how awful I am and how you're barely more tolerable than me.

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

01:21:14.020 --> 01:21:17.020
into like some marathon ass Wanshoe.

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,

01:21:22.100 --> 01:21:25.660
you know, you can change the channel.

01:21:25.660 --> 01:21:28.780
It's an option. We do have the technology.

01:21:30.140 --> 01:21:34.300
Oh man. All right. All right, what are we even supposed to be doing, Dan?

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.

01:21:40.220 --> 01:21:44.780
Okay. I didn't even realize. I didn't even realize when I sat down

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,

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.

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?

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.

01:22:04.100 --> 01:22:11.500
I reviewed a lot of scripts and videos and like, dude, I went to Equinix.

01:22:12.780 --> 01:22:14.460
Equinix? Yeah.

01:22:16.620 --> 01:22:22.460
What's that? So they build themselves as the biggest tech company

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?

01:22:26.020 --> 01:22:29.180
Yeah. They may actually be right.

01:22:29.180 --> 01:22:31.020
They might actually be the ones.

01:22:32.780 --> 01:22:36.220
Yeah. I know of Equinox, not Equinix. How do you even spell it?

01:22:40.260 --> 01:22:44.140
Here, EQUI NIX.

01:22:45.220 --> 01:22:47.260
NIX, okay. Yeah.

01:22:49.580 --> 01:22:55.060
Data center company and enterprise network technologies. No, you would think this would be something

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.

01:22:59.020 --> 01:23:04.500
They don't give two flying... Leading companies to just Google Cloud,

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.

01:23:09.860 --> 01:23:15.420
Okay, I understand. We are just a s*** stain on the back of their heel

01:23:15.420 --> 01:23:18.540
because they walked through the, I don't know,

01:23:18.540 --> 01:23:21.660
bougie park next to their penthouse they live in.

01:23:21.660 --> 01:23:23.820
Like, we don't matter to these guys.

01:23:24.980 --> 01:23:28.100
I mean, I shouldn't say that because they did sponsor the video.

01:23:28.100 --> 01:23:30.300
And so we did a tour.

01:23:31.740 --> 01:23:37.540
Dude. This place was flipping wild.

01:23:37.540 --> 01:23:41.260
And the reason, the reason they actually showed up on my radar

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

01:23:47.700 --> 01:23:51.460
to cool a data center. Sick. And I was like, that's neat.

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.

01:23:56.140 --> 01:23:59.500
Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay.

01:24:00.500 --> 01:24:04.900
Absolutely. Is there a large technology company in the Fortune 500?

01:24:04.900 --> 01:24:08.780
Well. Absolutely. All of them. Chat it out.

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.

01:24:16.460 --> 01:24:21.540
Like, they literally, they literally showed me a room

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,

01:24:28.260 --> 01:24:31.060
there would be, there would have to be a report to the SEC

01:24:32.180 --> 01:24:33.820
that someone was in the room.

01:24:35.380 --> 01:24:38.820
But you're allowed to like look in. I was allowed to look into the room.

01:24:38.820 --> 01:24:42.220
We got a shot. We got a shot of the room. That's pretty cool.

01:24:42.220 --> 01:24:46.100
Okay. You know how when we do tours of factories and facilities and stuff,

01:24:46.100 --> 01:24:49.540
there's always like no, no filming signs everywhere.

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

01:24:54.580 --> 01:24:55.740
if they had a camera.

01:24:57.620 --> 01:25:02.180
That's one way to do it. They built this building.

01:25:02.180 --> 01:25:05.260
Custom. Okay. They built it.

01:25:05.260 --> 01:25:09.180
So the foundation was feet above ground level.

01:25:10.100 --> 01:25:10.940
You know why?

01:25:13.260 --> 01:25:16.860
Because the city wouldn't let them put ballards and truck stoppers around it

01:25:16.860 --> 01:25:20.660
because they're unattractive. So they made it. So they just built it on a platform?

01:25:20.660 --> 01:25:24.700
So if you RAM the building, you will literally hit the f***ing foundation.

01:25:25.540 --> 01:25:29.220
Okay. That's, that is a solution.

01:25:29.220 --> 01:25:32.660
Custom building. That's the way they did it.

01:25:32.660 --> 01:25:35.820
These guys are absolutely insane. Okay.

01:25:35.820 --> 01:25:39.940
So on the roof, on the roof. Okay. So you know the speed of light, right?

01:25:39.940 --> 01:25:43.100
So as fast as stuff can go. But the speed of light's not fixed.

01:25:43.100 --> 01:25:46.100
Okay. Logitech demoed this years ago. Yeah.

01:25:46.100 --> 01:25:50.500
When they showed their light speed wireless dongle actually outperforming a cable.

01:25:50.500 --> 01:25:55.740
Because the speed of light through an optical fiber or

01:25:55.740 --> 01:25:59.740
Any medium. Through any medium is variable. So through an optical fiber,

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.

01:26:04.900 --> 01:26:08.140
But in air, it's very close to the speed of light

01:26:08.140 --> 01:26:12.500
in a vacuum. It's like 0.997 or something.

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.

01:26:16.860 --> 01:26:20.260
So get this. On the roof.

01:26:21.260 --> 01:26:24.260
They have microwave dishes.

01:26:25.540 --> 01:26:28.380
That are pointed at the TSX.

01:26:29.820 --> 01:26:32.820
And toward New York. Toronto Stock Exchange.

01:26:32.820 --> 01:26:37.500
Where the other, where the other, oh yeah, sorry. Where there are other exchanges.

01:26:37.500 --> 01:26:42.060
So that they have the lowest possible latency link.

01:26:42.060 --> 01:26:47.100
Because light through a fiber optic cable is not fast enough.

01:26:48.100 --> 01:26:51.100
That's pretty wild.

01:26:51.100 --> 01:26:55.100
Dude, I saw a cage there.

01:26:55.100 --> 01:26:59.100
That not only had all four sides closed.

01:26:59.100 --> 01:27:03.100
Not only had visibility blockers installed in the cage.

01:27:03.100 --> 01:27:09.100
Not only had the fifth ceiling chain link installed on the top.

01:27:09.100 --> 01:27:13.100
Because some companies will have regulations for particular data or particular operations.

01:27:13.100 --> 01:27:16.100
That you have to have six sides essentially

01:27:16.100 --> 01:27:20.100
on the cage that can contain. Not only did it have all of that.

01:27:20.100 --> 01:27:24.100
It had touch sensors in the chain link.

01:27:24.100 --> 01:27:27.100
If you so much as lean. Touch the chain link.

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.

01:27:33.100 --> 01:27:37.100
And that will not be a good call. No.

01:27:37.100 --> 01:27:41.100
That's so sick. Dude, this place was wild.

01:27:41.100 --> 01:27:45.100
And they showed us everything. Absolutely everything.

01:27:45.100 --> 01:27:48.100
Nothing that they were not legally allowed to show us.

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.

01:27:53.100 --> 01:27:57.100
But they had an empty cage. So I was able to go in.

01:27:57.100 --> 01:28:01.100
And show how the cold isle and hot isle separation works.

01:28:01.100 --> 01:28:05.100
I held a temperature sensor and you could see it open up the thing.

01:28:05.100 --> 01:28:08.100
So we were able to do really cool demos.

01:28:08.100 --> 01:28:12.100
Because they really did let us in.

01:28:12.100 --> 01:28:16.100
That would be probably one of the coolest videos we have ever done.

01:28:16.100 --> 01:28:20.100
Do not miss it. This is like no actually for real.

01:28:20.100 --> 01:28:26.100
A data center. Like of the highest tier.

01:28:26.100 --> 01:28:31.100
Like your bank and your ISP. And the cloud services that you use.

01:28:31.100 --> 01:28:34.100
Your bank has that. This is where they are.

01:28:34.100 --> 01:28:37.100
That old Windows 98 system sitting in the corner. So the room.

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.

01:28:41.100 --> 01:28:44.100
It goes into it and approaches the rack.

01:28:44.100 --> 01:28:47.100
Any guesses as to what's in there?

01:28:47.100 --> 01:28:51.100
The SEC is involved. So you know what it has to do with exchanges and trading.

01:28:51.100 --> 01:28:54.100
I'll tell you that much.

01:28:54.100 --> 01:28:57.100
I'm not even going to know the names of different things.

01:28:57.100 --> 01:29:00.100
But I'm assuming it's the trading computers. No computers.

01:29:00.100 --> 01:29:05.100
No computers. No computers. Because they would all have their own cages.

01:29:05.100 --> 01:29:08.100
They would have their own least space and everything. They'd be caged off.

01:29:08.100 --> 01:29:11.100
Wait I thought this was, did I miss something? No it's a room.

01:29:11.100 --> 01:29:14.100
Oh okay. It's a room. It's just there's a room on the floor.

01:29:14.100 --> 01:29:18.100
And there's no computers in the room. No they don't need computers in there.

01:29:18.100 --> 01:29:21.100
They don't need any computers for that. What?

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.

01:29:28.100 --> 01:29:31.100
Records of some kind. No. No.

01:29:31.100 --> 01:29:34.100
No records. Networking? Would you not consider that computers?

01:29:34.100 --> 01:29:37.100
Kinda. No gear though. Yeah.

01:29:37.100 --> 01:29:42.100
No gear. Spools of fiber optic cable.

01:29:42.100 --> 01:29:46.100
And the SEC has to be told. Oh the, I've heard of this.

01:29:46.100 --> 01:29:49.100
It's the one that keeps all of the trading platforms fair.

01:29:49.100 --> 01:29:53.100
So you can't have shorter links. Everybody has to have the same length of cable.

01:29:53.100 --> 01:29:57.100
I saw a video. So they had one in their building.

01:29:57.100 --> 01:30:02.100
And it was this giant spool. And it goes from the switch to like another switch.

01:30:02.100 --> 01:30:05.100
And it's just 30 kilometers of fiber.

01:30:05.100 --> 01:30:10.100
So if someone's office is further away. They would have less spools in their room.

01:30:10.100 --> 01:30:13.100
Cause like nanoseconds matter in trading. Oh that's sick.

01:30:13.100 --> 01:30:17.100
I'm so excited for this video. Like the furthest you could be.

01:30:17.100 --> 01:30:21.100
And then everyone has to have that much. That length of a fiber optic link.

01:30:21.100 --> 01:30:25.100
Oh man. Isn't that cool? I feel like I've heard of this before.

01:30:25.100 --> 01:30:28.100
But just completely forgot. So I said Tom Scott made a video on this.

01:30:28.100 --> 01:30:31.100
I probably watched that. It's probably old. And I probably forgot about it since then.

01:30:31.100 --> 01:30:34.100
That's wild. Yeah. Very cool.

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.

01:30:41.100 --> 01:30:44.100
Okay. So different companies that are using this data center.

01:30:44.100 --> 01:30:47.100
Yeah. And then they would probably have a separate one.

01:30:47.100 --> 01:30:50.100
They have to use like that service that equinix offers. Yeah.

01:30:50.100 --> 01:30:53.100
For the like the fair linkage. And that's something that like from a regulatory standpoint.

01:30:53.100 --> 01:30:56.100
They have to subscribe to. Yeah.

01:30:56.100 --> 01:30:59.100
And equinox themselves probably have a bigger one that also does the building.

01:30:59.100 --> 01:31:02.100
I'm assuming. Probably. Yeah.

01:31:02.100 --> 01:31:05.100
Yeah. Actually I don't know. Cause it's going to depend on the setup.

01:31:05.100 --> 01:31:08.100
Like it's going to depend what partners are in there and what.

01:31:08.100 --> 01:31:11.100
Yeah. I'm just making an assumption. Yeah.

01:31:11.100 --> 01:31:14.100
But yeah. No. Yeah.

01:31:14.100 --> 01:31:17.100
Oh dude. This place. I haven't even.

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.

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

01:31:26.100 --> 01:31:31.100
could remember giving this level of access to was then president Barack Obama.

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.

01:31:37.100 --> 01:31:42.100
And they were kind of like, oh, I don't think of anyone.

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

01:31:47.100 --> 01:31:52.100
bit. Like they had an entire entourage there with us.

01:31:52.100 --> 01:31:56.100
They had like their head of, oh man, I'm going to get this wrong.

01:31:56.100 --> 01:31:59.100
This title is like head of. What's up? Jimmy.

01:32:00.100 --> 01:32:03.100
So now you have one thing to come with Obama. Nice.

01:32:03.100 --> 01:32:06.100
Me, Obama and Taylor Swift.

01:32:06.100 --> 01:32:09.100
We like birds of a feather, you know? Yeah.

01:32:09.100 --> 01:32:12.100
Um, okay. Sorry. What was I going to say?

01:32:12.100 --> 01:32:16.100
Um, right. So, so they didn't just like show us around.

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.

01:32:23.100 --> 01:32:28.100
But in Canada, so he was like, like the Canadian head of it, but like globally.

01:32:28.100 --> 01:32:35.100
So like any, any Canadian based multinational he like deals with.

01:32:35.100 --> 01:32:41.100
So essentially he's like a global architecture lead guy, but like Canadian based or something

01:32:41.100 --> 01:32:44.100
like that. For equinics? Yeah.

01:32:44.100 --> 01:32:47.100
For equinics. Okay. Yeah.

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.

01:32:51.100 --> 01:32:57.100
Like I don't know if that was for the country or just like at all.

01:32:57.100 --> 01:33:02.100
Uh, but he was like, he looked like a head of security and super smart.

01:33:02.100 --> 01:33:06.100
He, the guy just like knew everything off the top of his head, like every customer,

01:33:06.100 --> 01:33:09.100
like everything guy was chatted out.

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.

01:33:13.100 --> 01:33:17.100
Um, dude, these guys were, these guys were, these guys are crazy.

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

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.

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.

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.

01:33:41.100 --> 01:33:46.100
And I was like, okay, there's six feet of concrete between every floor.

01:33:46.100 --> 01:33:50.100
The place was crazy. Dude, you wouldn't believe the conduit runs.

01:33:50.100 --> 01:33:53.100
It's a thing of beauty. It's a thing of beauty.

01:33:53.100 --> 01:33:56.100
You know, you're a nerd when you, I enjoy that as well.

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,

01:33:59.100 --> 01:34:03.100
but they, um, but yeah. So, and we were in there filming everything, right?

01:34:03.100 --> 01:34:06.100
Like they were like, yeah, I just don't think we've ever done this.

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

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

01:34:16.100 --> 01:34:23.100
or whatever? No, because, um, a lot of their building is designed to be security first.

01:34:23.100 --> 01:34:30.100
So because they're going to have third party people visiting their own cages or whatever

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

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

01:34:44.100 --> 01:34:48.100
literally standing there in our group as we went around.

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,

01:34:52.100 --> 01:34:57.100
but like, I had done it anyway, like a hundred percent.

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

01:35:02.100 --> 01:35:06.100
went through the script with them, the only, like they asked for a couple of things.

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

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?

01:35:17.100 --> 01:35:20.100
And I was like, okay, right? Who cares?

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.

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,

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.

01:35:37.100 --> 01:35:41.100
Um, and there was stuff that I left out that they mentioned.

01:35:41.100 --> 01:35:47.100
Like they had a lot of the initial briefing was about the like environmental impact stuff

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

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.

01:36:02.100 --> 01:36:05.100
People cared a lot. Yeah. Yeah.

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,

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.

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,

01:36:18.600 --> 01:36:21.600
which is great, but it isn't why people tuned into this video.

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.

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,

01:36:32.600 --> 01:36:35.600
we want, we, we want to let you be the expert.

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

01:36:40.600 --> 01:36:44.600
the talk, you know, because brand suggestions for that stuff.

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.

01:36:49.600 --> 01:36:52.600
And I was like, okay. Sweet.

01:36:52.600 --> 01:36:55.600
I will. Nice. Yeah.

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.

01:37:00.600 --> 01:37:04.600
And we're doing this because this is what we do.

01:37:04.600 --> 01:37:07.600
Yeah. Do you think that's pretty sick? Yeah.

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.

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,

01:37:17.600 --> 01:37:20.600
to travel anymore? And I just say no. Right.

01:37:20.600 --> 01:37:26.600
But what I will travel for is something I like would have done anyway.

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.

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

01:37:35.600 --> 01:37:39.600
that I spent a lot of years traveling way too much.

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

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

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

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

01:38:06.600 --> 01:38:09.600
work around that nobody was really traveling.

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?

01:38:15.600 --> 01:38:18.600
So I still do travel a little bit. I mean, I did Computex.

01:38:18.600 --> 01:38:21.600
I did CES this year. I'm going to do CES. I'll do Computex again.

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?

01:38:26.600 --> 01:38:30.600
Yes. Exactly. Yeah, but I want to go everywhere.

01:38:30.600 --> 01:38:34.600
That's true. Why are you really going to Computex though, if we're being real?

01:38:34.600 --> 01:38:37.600
To play badminton. Yes. Yeah.

01:38:37.600 --> 01:38:41.600
But I'm going to CES because I just like, should probably be there.

01:38:41.600 --> 01:38:44.600
CES, yeah. Yeah, CES. I hate CES.

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.

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

01:38:57.960 --> 01:39:01.080
on the couch. Like, that's my idea of a good time.

01:39:01.080 --> 01:39:04.240
I love stage plays. Yeah.

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

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.

01:39:15.960 --> 01:39:18.960
I don't like Vegas. Yeah. Sorry.

01:39:18.960 --> 01:39:21.960
It is not a town made for either of us. Yeah.

01:39:21.960 --> 01:39:25.560
And no judgment. If you're into Vegas, hey, you do you.

01:39:25.560 --> 01:39:27.560
Go have fun. Yeah.

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.

01:39:32.360 --> 01:39:38.160
Oh, no, I want to talk about small town panopticon sued in court.

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,

01:39:43.760 --> 01:39:48.160
Virginia over its extensive network of security cameras that use automatic license plate readers

01:39:48.160 --> 01:39:55.760
to log every passing car alongside the car's color, make model and any distinctive characteristics.

01:39:55.760 --> 01:40:00.760
Officials, including police, can then request the system, give them a list of locations

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

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

01:40:16.560 --> 01:40:20.400
to obtain a warrant before accessing the feeds or collecting information from the database.

01:40:20.400 --> 01:40:24.040
That's right. No warrant. Oh, big yikes.

01:40:24.040 --> 01:40:30.600
This is like something I would expect to be reading about like China, not the US.

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.

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

01:40:46.920 --> 01:40:52.280
incidents saw a Sedgwick, Kansas police lieutenant use the system to stalk his estranged wife

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

01:40:57.480 --> 01:41:01.040
and her new boyfriend in October of 2023.

01:41:01.040 --> 01:41:04.440
And I guarantee you if they stay installed, this will keep happening and this type of

01:41:04.440 --> 01:41:07.640
information is going to leak both of those things.

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

01:41:11.840 --> 01:41:17.400
circle, fourth circuit appeals court, which recently ruled against warrantless drone surveillance

01:41:17.400 --> 01:41:21.120
in a different case.

01:41:22.000 --> 01:41:25.000
Oh, yikes.

01:41:25.000 --> 01:41:30.320
Huge Mondo yikes.

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.

01:41:35.120 --> 01:41:39.920
I actually, I saw this and I just like lost my biz.

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.

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.

01:41:50.600 --> 01:41:53.600
Dude, start whatever. Hold on.

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

01:42:04.120 --> 01:42:09.080
Starlink internet on Tuesday, making them the second airline to launch Starlink service

01:42:09.080 --> 01:42:12.400
after Hawaiian Airlines who got theirs in February.

01:42:12.400 --> 01:42:16.720
According to business insider who had a representative on the Qatar Airways plane, download speeds

01:42:16.720 --> 01:42:21.880
reached up to 215 megabit per second.

01:42:21.880 --> 01:42:25.200
That's not for the whole plane. That's for one person.

01:42:25.200 --> 01:42:29.520
Qatar Airways plans to make Starlink Wi-Fi free to all passengers compared to its regular

01:42:29.520 --> 01:42:33.520
in-flight Wi-Fi, which is extremely slow and costs $10 per flight.

01:42:33.520 --> 01:42:37.760
That means passengers can even make video calls or live stream, something that Qatar Airways

01:42:37.760 --> 01:42:43.920
demonstrated with a video call between their CEO and Starlink CEO Elon Musk on a prior

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.

01:42:49.720 --> 01:42:53.280
United Airlines and Air France have also announced to deals with Starlink.

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

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

01:43:08.240 --> 01:43:11.440
stuff and it's actually a super amazing technology.

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

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

01:43:26.480 --> 01:43:30.560
and I think it might be just Qatar Airlines, but they're planning on offering Starlink

01:43:30.560 --> 01:43:36.320
for free. Yeah. That tells us something about the relative affordability of it because the satellites

01:43:36.320 --> 01:43:39.320
are just up there. They're up there. They vibe in.

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.

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.

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

01:43:58.600 --> 01:44:01.600
back. It's not usable. Oh, right.

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

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

01:44:13.040 --> 01:44:16.840
so that I could be home in time for the Mighty Car Mods Club Tuesday morning.

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

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.

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.

01:44:37.360 --> 01:44:42.280
I had that. That was crazy. My legs are so much in very much pain.

01:44:42.280 --> 01:44:45.600
Then Wednesday, I don't remember even what happened Wednesday and then Thursday, yesterday,

01:44:45.600 --> 01:44:50.680
I had training again because I'm trying to get good for our tournament in December.

01:44:50.680 --> 01:44:55.560
I have no idea what's going on, man.

01:44:55.560 --> 01:44:59.840
Yeah. Sorry, what are we talking about?

01:44:59.840 --> 01:45:02.960
Oh, dude. I'm sorry.

01:45:02.960 --> 01:45:07.720
We will get to some merge messages. I guess we kind of ...

01:45:07.720 --> 01:45:10.920
Oh. Let's power through these two. We can do them both pretty quick.

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

01:45:17.180 --> 01:45:22.120
from Chrome telling them that UBlock Origin is now unsupported and turning the extension

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

01:45:27.840 --> 01:45:33.040
ad blockers for Chrome, but many UBlock users, however, are talking about moving to Firefox

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

01:45:39.560 --> 01:45:46.440
to matter? I don't think it's going to be that many people.

01:45:46.440 --> 01:45:50.480
We'll see. But hopefully it will be enough to matter.

01:45:50.480 --> 01:45:54.680
I think a lot of people thought Internet Explorer was unassailable at one point.

01:45:54.680 --> 01:45:59.680
They had 90-plus percent market share or whatever it was, so anything can change.

01:45:59.680 --> 01:46:02.680
Anything can change. Firefox pull now. No.

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...

01:46:05.960 --> 01:46:09.160
Dan, can you move our box?

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

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

01:46:24.400 --> 01:46:28.200
bit of it. I don't know if you even... No way.

01:46:28.200 --> 01:46:31.640
Just for you guys. Just for all of you Floatplane members.

01:46:31.640 --> 01:46:37.360
That was not my idea, but I think it's hilarious, so it's there.

01:46:37.360 --> 01:46:40.360
Yeah. All right.

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

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

01:46:57.320 --> 01:47:01.200
who has been strongly critical of AMD's new motherboards.

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

01:47:06.600 --> 01:47:11.680
CPU overclocking, but instead, it not only doesn't have overclocking support like last

01:47:11.680 --> 01:47:17.280
generation's budget A620 boards, it is arguably worse than the A620 because it only supports

01:47:17.280 --> 01:47:22.680
PCI Express Gen 3 for graphics and storage while A620 supports Gen 4.

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.

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

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.

01:47:44.960 --> 01:47:48.080
The conclusion reached by XDA is that these upgrades don't justify the price increase

01:47:48.080 --> 01:47:54.800
in AMD is resorting to shady naming tactics comparable to NVIDIA's infamous 480-12gig

01:47:54.800 --> 01:48:03.640
controversy. It's almost like AMD was never your friend.

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.

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

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,

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.

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.

01:48:30.760 --> 01:48:35.320
You read about people who are getting confused by it.

01:48:35.320 --> 01:48:39.920
You'll see people, oh, I want a Core i7.

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

01:48:46.400 --> 01:48:52.200
doesn't matter compared to the Core i5 for editing documents.

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,

01:49:00.200 --> 01:49:04.080
if you have a good product, is actually better.

01:49:04.080 --> 01:49:11.760
Educating your customers turns them into informed customers. It turns them into advocates for your brand.

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.

01:49:19.000 --> 01:49:22.000
That was a direction. Potentially.

01:49:22.000 --> 01:49:25.000
At one point. Potentially. Something I considered.

01:49:25.000 --> 01:49:28.640
I never had an offer for it though. That's not what WD offered me. No?

01:49:28.640 --> 01:49:33.680
No, they wanted me to lead marketing or be on a marketing group.

01:49:33.680 --> 01:49:36.840
No, not lead it. No, I was going to work for, I forget her name.

01:49:36.840 --> 01:49:40.080
Anyway, yeah, no. I wouldn't be high up enough to have actually made a difference.

01:49:40.080 --> 01:49:44.880
I don't think. I'm going to be back on it now.

01:49:44.880 --> 01:49:48.680
All right. What else we got? Oh, wash your bottle kids.

01:49:48.680 --> 01:49:53.600
So this, my friends.

01:49:53.600 --> 01:49:57.200
This. Oh my God. Seriously?

01:49:57.200 --> 01:50:01.200
What? Dana, you logged in to Reddit.

01:50:01.200 --> 01:50:04.720
I think so. What I can do. I can just post the.

01:50:04.720 --> 01:50:08.000
There we go. Do you want to zoom in?

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

01:50:13.480 --> 01:50:16.520
O-ring and wash it.

01:50:16.520 --> 01:50:20.040
Yes. Oh. It was worth it.

01:50:20.040 --> 01:50:23.200
That's a moose. That's a moose. Nice moose.

01:50:23.200 --> 01:50:28.120
What about the added flavor? Show me your moose.

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.

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

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

01:50:48.400 --> 01:50:53.720
of CPU startup Nuvia.

01:50:53.720 --> 01:50:59.040
Nuvia's license was supposed to only allow server chip applications and was supposed

01:50:59.040 --> 01:51:04.360
to be non-transferable, but Qualcomm has just been like using it notably in the Snapdragon

01:51:04.360 --> 01:51:08.560
X Elite laptop chips that they released this year.

01:51:08.560 --> 01:51:13.360
Both companies' stock prices fell in response to the announcement of ARM's decision.

01:51:13.360 --> 01:51:20.280
I got to think they're bluffing. I agree, but to what end?

01:51:20.280 --> 01:51:25.440
Why? Is MediaTek really going to pick up the slack in the phone space?

01:51:25.440 --> 01:51:28.440
No. Immediately? No.

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.

01:51:32.760 --> 01:51:38.760
They're actually pretty good now.

01:51:38.760 --> 01:51:42.360
Qualcomm lost an ARM. I really just want risk to win.

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.

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

01:52:00.160 --> 01:52:05.320
saints either. Licensing agreements do exist for a reason.

01:52:05.320 --> 01:52:09.240
All right, Dan. It's time for After Dark. Let's do it.

01:52:09.240 --> 01:52:13.480
Okey-dokey. I got to push the button.

01:52:13.480 --> 01:52:19.280
And then do the purple.

01:52:19.280 --> 01:52:24.240
Purple. Okay, Dan.

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

01:52:30.160 --> 01:52:34.760
for my eye cancer? Can't read well, but I can listen.

01:52:34.760 --> 01:52:38.800
What is your most interesting non-tech podcast or book to read?

01:52:38.800 --> 01:52:43.120
You're a book person, not a Vegas person?

01:52:43.120 --> 01:52:46.600
Interesting. I- Most interesting non-tech book.

01:52:46.600 --> 01:52:52.480
Okay. I don't know if I listen to podcasts.

01:52:53.480 --> 01:52:58.040
Man, I'm mostly, I'm mostly an article reader these days.

01:52:58.040 --> 01:53:05.480
I don't find much time to read for leisure.

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

01:53:11.360 --> 01:53:17.080
famous. I read that. So that's probably, that's the last book I read.

01:53:17.080 --> 01:53:21.440
It was good. Hopefully it's not on topic for you.

01:53:21.440 --> 01:53:27.440
I really hope your treatment goes well.

01:53:27.440 --> 01:53:31.440
Any non-tech podcasts? Oh, podcasts?

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.

01:53:37.360 --> 01:53:40.360
Yeah. Okay. Fun bro podcast.

01:53:40.360 --> 01:53:45.960
This book, you said interesting book. I would absolutely not say this is the best book.

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.

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.

01:53:54.880 --> 01:53:59.120
I'm going to only specifically say, your whole soul is about to be judged.

01:53:59.120 --> 01:54:02.520
Because they said, they said interesting book. Okay.

01:54:02.520 --> 01:54:10.360
Interesting. And it is an interesting book, S. 3.86 out of five.

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.

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.

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?

01:54:26.440 --> 01:54:29.440
No. Okay. I didn't hear that part.

01:54:29.440 --> 01:54:32.440
Neat. Let's move on probably. Okay.

01:54:32.440 --> 01:54:35.440
I've got a lot of audio books. Hold on a second.

01:54:35.440 --> 01:54:38.440
Okay. Give me more. All right.

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.

01:54:41.960 --> 01:54:48.360
Excited for the, excited for the MCM collab video.

01:54:48.360 --> 01:54:52.520
We're collaborating with the world's best off-roading YouTube channel.

01:54:52.520 --> 01:54:59.320
Are there any other non-tech channels that would make it for an interesting collaboration?

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.

01:55:03.000 --> 01:55:06.600
There you go. It does a very good job. It's a really good, listen.

01:55:06.600 --> 01:55:10.000
There you go. Go with that instead.

01:55:10.000 --> 01:55:14.400
Thank you, Luke. That was much more helpful. Or Barsk Elephant Graveyard, also very good.

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.

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?

01:55:24.000 --> 01:55:27.000
Channels. I don't know. Non-tech channels.

01:55:27.000 --> 01:55:33.320
I would love to see you with a click spring.

01:55:33.320 --> 01:55:38.880
What's that? He's doing an analog version of the Antikythera mescanism.

01:55:38.880 --> 01:55:42.960
I guess that would be a tech channel because the Antikythera mescanism is technically

01:55:42.960 --> 01:55:46.440
a computer. Of the non-tech channel. But he does machining videos.

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

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

01:56:02.920 --> 01:56:07.160
not well documented in terms of like how to benchmark.

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

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?

01:56:19.840 --> 01:56:23.920
We'll watch. Let's see if any of this matters, you know?

01:56:23.920 --> 01:56:27.280
I think something like that would be pretty cool. Yeah.

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

01:56:34.960 --> 01:56:39.080
are notorious for not wanting to spend time cooking because I mean they could be gaming,

01:56:39.080 --> 01:56:42.080
obviously. Bon Appetit gamer meals. Yeah.

01:56:42.080 --> 01:56:46.080
Gamer meals from Bon Appetit could be pretty sick. We have a big sponsorship coming up.

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.

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.

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.

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

01:57:10.200 --> 01:57:13.800
that Floatplane Chat has mentioned in the last two minutes.

01:57:13.800 --> 01:57:19.000
Oh. Yeah. And it's a pretty sizable sponsorship dollar amount.

01:57:19.000 --> 01:57:24.080
It's comfortably five figures. So it's like, they're a pretty big deal.

01:57:24.080 --> 01:57:27.080
Okay. Yeah. I'm pretty excited.

01:57:27.080 --> 01:57:30.880
I'm trying to think what would be reasonable.

01:57:30.880 --> 01:57:35.640
It's not Lunchables. Oh, I'm disappointed.

01:57:35.640 --> 01:57:39.320
Can you survive eating mold for more than a week?

01:57:39.760 --> 01:57:43.720
Well, I'll pay you a five figure sponsorship to find out.

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.

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.

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

01:58:08.080 --> 01:58:11.480
like that can be good. Hank Green seems super cool. Yep.

01:58:13.240 --> 01:58:16.840
Everyone else is like too closely related. Like even an electro boom is probably too close.

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.

01:58:20.880 --> 01:58:24.280
They're like super cool. That could be fun. Yeah.

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.

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

01:58:32.920 --> 01:58:37.320
comes to tech. I'd rather go on someone else's channel now, I think.

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...

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.

01:58:45.920 --> 01:58:48.920
Like, I don't know. Like whatever, whatever kind of... I don't know.

01:58:48.920 --> 01:58:52.640
I'm just... You get grape to the mouth. That's an example.

01:58:56.000 --> 01:58:58.000
Linus gets tied to the radiator.

01:59:00.000 --> 01:59:05.000
Oh my God. Oh my God.

01:59:05.080 --> 01:59:09.080
I was not expecting that reference. Oh man.

01:59:09.080 --> 01:59:14.080
Okay. Five second films.

01:59:14.080 --> 01:59:18.080
Yeah. Oh, that would be fun. Dude, I used to watch those guys in university.

01:59:18.080 --> 01:59:21.080
They were back. They took a very long break.

01:59:21.080 --> 01:59:25.080
I've heard, yeah. I'm gonna grape you. What is going on?

01:59:25.080 --> 01:59:28.080
Oh my God. I'm the grapest.

01:59:28.080 --> 01:59:32.080
I don't even know this reference. And I don't want to Google it.

01:59:32.160 --> 01:59:36.160
Okay. Oh, is it?

01:59:36.160 --> 01:59:40.160
Why is it because you know? Yeah. Oh, okay.

01:59:40.160 --> 01:59:44.160
I remember now. It's a reference, guys.

01:59:44.160 --> 01:59:47.160
Yeah, it's a reference. Okay. Great.

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.

01:59:50.160 --> 01:59:55.160
Very hard to watch. I think practically anyone. To be completely honest.

01:59:55.160 --> 01:59:58.160
Yeah. Anyways, moving on.

01:59:58.160 --> 02:00:01.160
Hey, Dale. I'm finally buying something from the store.

02:00:01.240 --> 02:00:04.240
How is progress going with the city and the badminton center?

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.

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

02:00:19.240 --> 02:00:22.240
and that they have scheduled a meeting to discuss it

02:00:22.240 --> 02:00:25.240
and that they would follow up with us

02:00:25.240 --> 02:00:28.240
with a decision and next steps.

02:00:28.240 --> 02:00:32.320
That's good. Me sounds like there are next steps.

02:00:32.320 --> 02:00:35.320
Considering there's next steps mentioned. I mean, it's good that you heard anything.

02:00:35.320 --> 02:00:38.320
Yeah. And the fact that they're on it, that's always a sign.

02:00:38.320 --> 02:00:42.320
How quickly you get an email back tells you more than probably anything else

02:00:42.320 --> 02:00:45.320
about how important something is to the person on the other side.

02:00:45.320 --> 02:00:48.320
Sad. What?

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.

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.

02:00:57.320 --> 02:01:02.400
Okay. Or I could tell you something about how busy the other person is.

02:01:02.400 --> 02:01:05.400
Remember, it's relative, right? We can't change multiple variables.

02:01:05.400 --> 02:01:08.400
True. You can't compare one person to another person. True.

02:01:08.400 --> 02:01:11.400
I'm just saying that if you had worked with the city in the past

02:01:11.400 --> 02:01:15.400
and they would take a month or never to reply to your emails

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.

02:01:20.400 --> 02:01:23.400
Your priority. That's good. Yeah, you're a high priority.

02:01:23.400 --> 02:01:27.400
So I'm really, I'm really, really optimistic about Whale Land.

02:01:27.400 --> 02:01:31.400
I'm really excited. Yeah. As for Badminton Center, good.

02:01:31.400 --> 02:01:34.400
It's been soft open for almost a month now, I think.

02:01:34.400 --> 02:01:39.400
And next week, we are going to move the evening, the very evening,

02:01:39.400 --> 02:01:43.400
7 to 10 p.m. drop-in session to be paid.

02:01:43.400 --> 02:01:46.400
Wait, are the new floors in? No.

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.

02:01:51.400 --> 02:01:54.400
So what's going to happen is we have placed the PO for our new floors.

02:01:54.400 --> 02:02:00.400
They're from Victor. They have said 6 to 10 weeks for production.

02:02:00.400 --> 02:02:03.400
Once they arrive, the same company that installed our floors

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.

02:02:09.400 --> 02:02:12.400
So they're going to install it on the side that is currently unfinished.

02:02:12.400 --> 02:02:15.400
Then we're going to move all of our programs over there.

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.

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

02:02:22.400 --> 02:02:25.400
and then it will actually be finished. Good.

02:02:25.400 --> 02:02:29.400
Very exciting. Super exciting. I wasn't expecting there to be so many people there.

02:02:29.400 --> 02:02:32.400
It's very popular. Right? It was amazing.

02:02:32.400 --> 02:02:35.400
Yeah, this whole time Dan thought he was building a giant facility

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.

02:02:40.400 --> 02:02:43.400
and I thought, oh man, this place is dead. Linus has no clients.

02:02:43.400 --> 02:02:47.400
And then like 400 people showed up and all of the courts were jammed

02:02:47.400 --> 02:02:51.400
and I was like, alright, maybe Linus shouldn't have been doubted ever.

02:02:51.400 --> 02:02:54.400
And this is friends and family right now?

02:02:54.400 --> 02:02:57.400
Well, people...

02:02:57.400 --> 02:03:01.400
The best way to get people to tell everyone they know about something

02:03:01.400 --> 02:03:04.400
is to tell them not to tell anybody. So we...

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.

02:03:10.400 --> 02:03:15.400
And yet every time I go in there, I recognize hardly anybody.

02:03:15.400 --> 02:03:20.400
I think we have over a thousand people in our customer database now.

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.

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.

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?

02:03:31.400 --> 02:03:34.400
Absolutely. My life is calming down a lot.

02:03:34.400 --> 02:03:37.400
I mean, I'll come back to the normal gym. I feel bad. Let's go.

02:03:37.400 --> 02:03:40.400
I feel bad. I'm back to where I was before the sickness.

02:03:40.400 --> 02:03:45.400
Good. I got a long way to recovery but things are calming.

02:03:45.400 --> 02:03:48.400
Heck yeah. We'll get there. Yeah.

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

02:03:55.400 --> 02:03:58.400
cap? Same in... Faster.

02:03:58.400 --> 02:04:01.400
Skill issue. Solaris, Kerbalville, Space Program, Minecraft.

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?

02:04:06.400 --> 02:04:09.400
I can't remember when Supreme Commander came out off the top of my head.

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

02:04:16.840 --> 02:04:24.120
to handle the maximum unit counts on these like gigantic 40 kilometer square maps.

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

02:04:30.960 --> 02:04:36.000
for everybody because everyone has to be able to handle the sim.

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.

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.

02:04:52.800 --> 02:04:56.800
Get good. Get better computers. I don't know, man.

02:04:56.800 --> 02:04:59.960
Promote mindless consumerism. Buy more computers. Yeah.

02:04:59.960 --> 02:05:04.400
Good. Make sure that when you're doing that, they're notably powered by batteries.

02:05:04.400 --> 02:05:07.400
Yeah. Lithium batteries. Yeah.

02:05:07.400 --> 02:05:10.900
With lots of nickel and cobalt. Ideally as much cobalt as possible. Yeah.

02:05:10.900 --> 02:05:13.900
And have them flown in. Yeah. Yes.

02:05:13.900 --> 02:05:19.340
And lead. Yep. And lead out.

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

02:05:24.420 --> 02:05:27.540
to Jerry's lie detector test. I don't know.

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

02:05:35.020 --> 02:05:38.480
say before that I would love to sponsor big time.

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.

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

02:05:54.220 --> 02:05:59.660
on big time. So we'll see. Hey, Luke's mom and DLL.

02:05:59.660 --> 02:06:05.940
What are your thoughts on cod blops six having an advanced audio subscription?

02:06:05.940 --> 02:06:09.140
What's next charging to unlock the frame rate? Wait, what?

02:06:09.140 --> 02:06:13.300
What? I don't know. Like surround sound.

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.

02:06:19.780 --> 02:06:21.500
What enhanced audio?

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?

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

02:06:35.660 --> 02:06:39.540
to give you more immersive sound using tech from M body.

02:06:40.540 --> 02:06:42.260
Directional accuracy helps you.

02:06:43.540 --> 02:06:47.140
Directional accuracy. Did we come full circle all the way back to EAX?

02:06:48.900 --> 02:06:52.660
Are they not using like F mod or Wu wise, which is spatial audio?

02:06:52.660 --> 02:06:56.740
You can unlock a five year license for personalized sound profiles, your bodies,

02:06:56.740 --> 02:06:58.980
immersed spatial audio technology.

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.

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.

02:07:15.700 --> 02:07:18.820
But accurate placement of sounds, which can be helpful.

02:07:18.820 --> 02:07:23.620
Multiplayer audio cues, like footsteps, gunfire, $20 for a five year license.

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?

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?

02:07:38.580 --> 02:07:42.980
No. Oh, was that battlefield? No, it was a RTS game.

02:07:42.980 --> 02:07:45.060
I don't remember the name. Are you sure? Yeah.

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.

02:07:53.300 --> 02:07:59.460
This doesn't seem that unreasonable, especially if they're if it's effectively just

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

02:08:07.460 --> 02:08:12.100
dollar game. Like if you're spending that much on this game, then I mean,

02:08:13.460 --> 02:08:17.780
is it not pretty reasonable for them to just include good audio in it?

02:08:17.780 --> 02:08:21.460
Also, like knowing that you're at a disadvantage compared to other players,

02:08:21.460 --> 02:08:24.580
because you didn't pay the subscription that goes along with the game is.

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.

02:08:31.860 --> 02:08:32.740
Faced Valve again.

02:08:38.100 --> 02:08:41.780
Some Final Fantasy 14 fans, this is according to ReadWrite.com,

02:08:42.340 --> 02:08:46.420
where the services been available for a while have expressed dissatisfaction

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.

02:08:54.900 --> 02:08:58.100
All right. Well, good luck, everybody. Ah, man.

02:08:58.100 --> 02:09:02.500
I had decided to not do the whole cod blop six thing.

02:09:03.780 --> 02:09:08.020
And now I'm happy about that decision. I miss like having shooters to play.

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.

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.

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.

02:09:24.260 --> 02:09:27.140
Oh, yeah. Based Larian. Yeah.

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.

02:09:33.780 --> 02:09:39.060
Wow. Wow. Hasbro's going to bung it up like so bad.

02:09:39.060 --> 02:09:44.260
They have quite the blueprint to at least make like, you know, Far Cry 17.

02:09:44.260 --> 02:09:46.340
Okay. Tell you what. No, I'm going to stop you right there.

02:09:48.100 --> 02:09:54.980
Show me a like Hasbro. Show me a Hasbro game studios game that's like good.

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.

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.

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.

02:10:09.300 --> 02:10:11.860
I don't. Just their board games, but on a CD.

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?

02:10:19.460 --> 02:10:23.140
Yeah. I know they did the billion dollar investment like this year.

02:10:23.140 --> 02:10:27.380
Basically, they saw Baldur's Gate 3 pop off and they were like, huh, billion dollars.

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.

02:10:32.980 --> 02:10:35.140
Wait, Hasbro games is an Ubisoft?

02:10:36.180 --> 02:10:40.660
Mac Warriors 3 Pirates Moon. I think that was the worst Mac Warriors game ever made.

02:10:43.540 --> 02:10:47.620
Huh. Huh. They made Glover classic.

02:10:49.300 --> 02:10:52.420
Hmm. Moving on. All right.

02:10:52.420 --> 02:10:56.020
Cool. Good luck, everybody. Yeah. Hey, LLD.

02:10:56.020 --> 02:10:58.980
Linus, how's the iPhone going? And how long do you plan to use it for?

02:10:59.780 --> 02:11:03.940
Also, any idea when the retro pet cave will ever come back?

02:11:05.620 --> 02:11:08.740
Our second order of the retro pet cave was a disaster.

02:11:08.740 --> 02:11:12.580
They were the wrong color. They're all mashy. We're working on it.

02:11:12.580 --> 02:11:15.860
But like, it's the exact same suppliers. Like how'd they screw that up?

02:11:15.860 --> 02:11:19.300
I don't get it. Like just do the same thing you did last time.

02:11:19.860 --> 02:11:24.180
Just don't swap or rune it. Drives me crazy, you guys.

02:11:24.180 --> 02:11:27.700
It drives me crazy. Dude, I have so many more notes on my thing.

02:11:27.700 --> 02:11:29.620
Like this dock is so long.

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.

02:11:36.340 --> 02:11:39.620
And I'm like, yeah, to you, I guess. But to me, they do.

02:11:40.340 --> 02:11:46.500
Like when you, okay. Have you ever, have you ever noticed this on an iPhone?

02:11:47.780 --> 02:11:50.740
When you scroll? The scrolling is slow? No, no, not that.

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.

02:11:59.220 --> 02:12:02.980
It's community. Oh, it's the community tab now. They made an update.

02:12:02.980 --> 02:12:05.540
Okay. So do you, crying out loud. Okay.

02:12:06.260 --> 02:12:08.180
Okay. So as I'm scrolling, do you notice anything?

02:12:12.340 --> 02:12:15.780
Not really. Do you notice that it highlights the comment that I click on,

02:12:16.340 --> 02:12:19.380
even though I'm not interacting with that comment? Not always.

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.

02:12:24.580 --> 02:12:26.340
Since you mentioned it, I don't think it's happened.

02:12:28.660 --> 02:12:32.100
You know what? If it's already moving, it doesn't. There you go.

02:12:32.100 --> 02:12:34.260
So see that? Highlights the comment.

02:12:36.660 --> 02:12:41.700
Why? What other modern interface will,

02:12:43.780 --> 02:12:46.980
will act like you have activated an element on screen

02:12:46.980 --> 02:12:48.820
when you're actually just scrolling?

02:12:51.540 --> 02:12:54.740
If you do it really fast, does it happen? Yeah. Watch.

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.

02:13:03.700 --> 02:13:06.900
What do you mean because you touched it? No. Incorrect.

02:13:08.420 --> 02:13:12.100
Literally, Windows doesn't do that on touchscreens.

02:13:12.100 --> 02:13:15.780
Android doesn't do that on touchscreens. It's really misleading because it makes you seem

02:13:15.780 --> 02:13:17.780
like you're interacting with that element, but you're not.

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

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.

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

02:13:36.500 --> 02:13:39.940
animation of you interacting with it in the exact same way?

02:13:40.500 --> 02:13:43.300
Because if so, then you're just not hold pressing it long enough.

02:13:44.420 --> 02:13:48.660
It doesn't do anything. It just keeps highlighting it.

02:13:52.580 --> 02:13:56.100
Yeah. So I have to tap it in order for it to actually do anything.

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

02:14:03.060 --> 02:14:06.100
doesn't actually activate it. Is it just people are commenting?

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.

02:14:13.220 --> 02:14:18.100
Why? Why? I thought you're supposed to be a paragon of design in UX.

02:14:19.060 --> 02:14:22.580
This is obviously wrong. Design in UX is subjective.

02:14:22.580 --> 02:14:26.420
I'm also experiencing the bug where my ringer volume gets bugged

02:14:26.420 --> 02:14:29.940
sometimes and goes super loud, literally interrupted a shoot

02:14:29.940 --> 02:14:34.660
because my ringer was set to like this much and it was like

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

02:14:41.620 --> 02:14:42.820
EverQuest level up sound.

02:14:45.060 --> 02:14:47.300
Most people aren't going to get why that's. Yeah. Anyways.

02:14:49.140 --> 02:14:51.940
Oh, what was this? What was this? What was this note?

02:14:54.100 --> 02:14:58.980
Oh, yeah. Oh, dude, when you're connected to CarPlay, if you take a system

02:14:58.980 --> 02:15:01.860
screenshot, it sends your CarPlay screenshot as well.

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

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

02:15:13.300 --> 02:15:18.100
figure out as well. So like it sends both like two separate things or they like

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

02:15:23.940 --> 02:15:27.540
touch wasn't registering in the right spot. I recorded that. So I'll have that.

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

02:15:33.940 --> 02:15:37.460
never really like deplete the battery and automatically

02:15:37.460 --> 02:15:40.820
recommended I switch over to limiting it to 80% to optimize

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.

02:15:46.420 --> 02:15:51.220
If you get a call on this and your AirPods are on you, but

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.

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?

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.

02:16:05.940 --> 02:16:09.780
Lots of really cool stuff and lots of stuff that's just like

02:16:10.340 --> 02:16:14.820
completely obvious garbage. Any man is saying that it's individual screenshots when

02:16:14.820 --> 02:16:17.780
CarPlay is active, not that they're stitched. Oh, okay. Sure.

02:16:18.500 --> 02:16:21.220
Well, when you're using the share interface, which is what I use,

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.

02:16:26.340 --> 02:16:29.300
Interesting. So I accidentally, when I was messaging Ploof,

02:16:30.100 --> 02:16:34.260
sent him both my answer and my location.

02:16:36.180 --> 02:16:37.300
Oh yeah, that is stitched.

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.

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

02:16:49.060 --> 02:16:54.340
a screenshot of my map on CarPlay. That was not what I intended to do.

02:16:56.740 --> 02:16:58.180
No, I haven't had the flashlight bug.

02:17:01.300 --> 02:17:06.660
Yeah. So overall, I don't really like it.

02:17:06.660 --> 02:17:11.140
It's really buggy. I was expecting a lot more just works and a lot less.

02:17:11.140 --> 02:17:13.780
Well, there was the time when my phone just cut out when you called me.

02:17:15.380 --> 02:17:17.540
That, yeah. Like turned off.

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.

02:17:23.140 --> 02:17:27.700
And he, his call history has a log of our call connecting

02:17:27.700 --> 02:17:32.580
and mine doesn't. Like it just has no idea that that ever happened.

02:17:32.580 --> 02:17:35.700
The Android phone just overpowered the iPhone. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah.

02:17:36.580 --> 02:17:39.300
How is it still buggy? They have one phone.

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.

02:17:44.900 --> 02:17:48.340
Everything ever is going to have bugs. And hire a second dev.

02:17:48.340 --> 02:17:52.900
They legitimately, they legitimately changed a lot in iOS 18.

02:17:53.540 --> 02:17:57.220
They just, I don't know, it could be way better.

02:17:57.940 --> 02:18:01.300
Could be way better. All right. Software is going to software.

02:18:01.860 --> 02:18:06.980
Yeah, I hate computers. At Shorty Swift, you've spoken a few times about your disdain

02:18:06.980 --> 02:18:10.260
for sleep country on the show, but you've never really delved into it. Yeah, duh.

02:18:10.820 --> 02:18:15.780
Stop that. Care to share more info as to why you dislike them so much.

02:18:16.500 --> 02:18:20.020
I will do you one better and I will direct you to the place

02:18:20.020 --> 02:18:22.340
where you can go to learn all about mattresses.

02:18:23.780 --> 02:18:26.420
mattressunderground.com is based.

02:18:28.260 --> 02:18:30.660
You're welcome. Sick.

02:18:31.940 --> 02:18:37.220
Typical Monday listener here. What's the most wasted qualifications that you have encountered?

02:18:38.580 --> 02:18:40.820
Oh, A plus. It's all good.

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.

02:18:45.620 --> 02:18:52.340
No, we have some people who work here who have like just ridiculous credentials,

02:18:52.340 --> 02:18:55.700
but do stuff here that has nothing to do with them at all.

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.

02:19:02.740 --> 02:19:07.140
It feels like maybe you like you can get paid more for it.

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,

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,

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,

02:19:23.860 --> 02:19:27.060
your Ph.D. is not going to like get you a raise next year.

02:19:27.060 --> 02:19:31.220
You're going to have to perform. So yeah.

02:19:31.220 --> 02:19:34.260
Maybe that helps you do that. Maybe it doesn't. Maybe it doesn't.

02:19:34.260 --> 02:19:36.500
I have a ballet degree. Yeah, I could see that.

02:19:38.740 --> 02:19:43.620
Not necessarily getting you much unless you wanted to be a ballet teacher.

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.

02:19:49.220 --> 02:19:50.500
If not, there's nothing.

02:19:53.620 --> 02:19:59.460
Yep. Hi, DLL. Does the Floatplane tech stack utilize open source software?

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?

02:20:06.420 --> 02:20:10.180
We do. And yes, but that's also a problem with not open source software.

02:20:10.180 --> 02:20:13.460
Sure is. So like a big problem. It's potentially a bigger one.

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

02:20:18.420 --> 02:20:24.740
where we wanted to change the tier of like subscription that we had with them.

02:20:25.700 --> 02:20:32.820
And the way that that is being handled is extremely unsavory,

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,

02:20:38.500 --> 02:20:44.420
which will take development time, but would be worth it.

02:20:45.220 --> 02:20:49.460
We'll get them these vests, and our developers will code so much faster with AI.

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.

02:20:53.700 --> 02:20:57.460
So naming them now would just be in bad taste.

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.

02:21:03.860 --> 02:21:07.700
It's pretty lame what they're saying they would be doing.

02:21:08.580 --> 02:21:09.780
So we'll see how it goes.

02:21:12.580 --> 02:21:15.700
I noticed you haven't had any new bonus bin items in a while.

02:21:15.700 --> 02:21:18.980
Are there any plans to make a 2024 sticker pack,

02:21:18.980 --> 02:21:22.260
another postcard, maybe some more of those cool pins or anything similar?

02:21:22.260 --> 02:21:25.300
Yes, Sarah's been busy. We definitely have new pins coming,

02:21:25.300 --> 02:21:28.180
and we definitely have a 2024 sticker pack in the works.

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.

02:21:33.700 --> 02:21:36.820
Yeah. Don't narrow it down for them anymore, though. I won't.

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.

02:21:42.500 --> 02:21:47.140
I understand why you say that. Yeah, we've definitely had some conversations with Cloudflare.

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.

02:21:51.540 --> 02:21:55.220
It's not Cloudflare. This isn't necessarily a question,

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.

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.

02:22:04.500 --> 02:22:07.700
I'll tell you what. Our rep there is super chill.

02:22:07.700 --> 02:22:12.340
She's really nice. I will screenshot this and I will send it to her.

02:22:13.620 --> 02:22:17.380
Nice. All right. I'm not promising anything. Literally doing that right now.

02:22:18.420 --> 02:22:21.460
Yeah, he is. A humble request.

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.

02:22:25.780 --> 02:22:28.740
Yeah, you look like you look like I'm in my quarterly review meeting.

02:22:29.380 --> 02:22:32.500
I did way too many of those over the last couple of weeks.

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.

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.

02:22:43.540 --> 02:22:45.940
Oh man, I better put a button up on. Oh no.

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.

02:22:51.700 --> 02:22:55.380
It's weird. Yeah, it might be something to do with the fit. Interesting.

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.

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.

02:23:08.980 --> 02:23:13.620
Unsurprisingly, it's always been like, you know, like my mom, like women in my life,

02:23:13.620 --> 02:23:18.260
which there are not many, but. But moved my mom and.

02:23:18.580 --> 02:23:22.100
Emma. And Emma immediately noticed. My mom immediately noticed.

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.

02:23:27.140 --> 02:23:28.260
That's pretty much all that matters.

02:23:30.420 --> 02:23:34.260
But like, it's interesting how fast. I'm not saying you should avoid other women.

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.

02:23:37.860 --> 02:23:40.900
That's all. Yeah. Outside of work, like the casual hangouts.

02:23:40.900 --> 02:23:43.860
I mean, I barely have friends at all these days.

02:23:46.100 --> 02:23:48.500
Yeah, I don't know. It is what it is. It's everything's okay.

02:23:49.460 --> 02:23:50.420
The shirts fit though.

02:23:53.460 --> 02:23:56.820
Cool. Hi, Wendell.

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.

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.

02:24:04.980 --> 02:24:08.100
There was no communication. We said exactly what we needed.

02:24:08.100 --> 02:24:11.300
Every week. And now we are acting on our side of the deal.

02:24:12.020 --> 02:24:16.420
Women have taken notice of us. And they have nice thighs and everything.

02:24:17.300 --> 02:24:23.140
Oh, boy.

02:24:23.140 --> 02:24:26.740
Hi, Wendell. Week number two of asking for an update

02:24:26.740 --> 02:24:29.780
on the 3D printed custom loop. Oh, they do updates on Floatplane,

02:24:29.780 --> 02:24:33.940
which is where we said we would do updates. Better get subscribed on Floatplane.

02:24:33.940 --> 02:24:37.380
They do up in there. I've seen it. Last one I got for you.

02:24:37.380 --> 02:24:41.380
Hey, LDL. I work as a private teacher for a family of billionaires.

02:24:41.380 --> 02:24:45.940
The family does pro motor sports. If you homeschooled with an infinite budget

02:24:45.940 --> 02:24:48.500
and lots of travel opportunities, what would you do?

02:24:49.380 --> 02:24:51.220
I don't think I would homeschool my kids.

02:24:54.100 --> 02:24:56.740
Interesting. Socialization is important.

02:24:57.300 --> 02:24:59.620
Yeah. Maybe not when you're a billionaire. Yeah, maybe.

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.

02:25:06.340 --> 02:25:09.780
That's why they don't. That's how they feel about everyone else.

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.

02:25:14.580 --> 02:25:18.260
If you homeschooled with an infinite budget and had lots of travel opportunities,

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,

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.

02:25:34.260 --> 02:25:38.260
There's no amount of like education budget that I couldn't afford at this point.

02:25:38.580 --> 02:25:42.660
So I like kind of do and accept that I wouldn't homeschool them.

02:25:42.660 --> 02:25:47.300
Like I just wouldn't do that. That's not even on the menu.

02:25:51.380 --> 02:25:54.580
I think the homeschooling would be that you hired people

02:25:54.580 --> 02:25:57.860
to come and teach them like the world's top engineers.

02:25:57.860 --> 02:26:01.620
Yeah, but still. I think lots of practical experiments and demonstrations.

02:26:01.620 --> 02:26:04.660
I think. Yeah, I think that'd be cool. Visiting a lot of.

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.

02:26:11.060 --> 02:26:13.940
I mean, yeah, I guess that'd be kind of cool, but like.

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.

02:26:22.500 --> 02:26:26.500
So showing them how cool things that you can do with the different subjects are.

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.

02:26:30.820 --> 02:26:31.380
I think so.

02:26:35.860 --> 02:26:38.340
Make sure they at least know the definition of the word job.

02:26:40.100 --> 02:26:43.220
Yeah, man, pretend for a little while. I'm just I'm just reading.

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

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.

02:26:51.780 --> 02:26:54.100
I think at the end of the day, they're going to make the best.

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.

02:26:58.820 --> 02:27:01.220
Like I didn't have a fancy education.

02:27:05.860 --> 02:27:09.060
And so much knowledge is available for free now.

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.

02:27:16.340 --> 02:27:20.740
I mean, travel opportunities could be cool. Like being able to see see things in person

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.

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,

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

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

02:27:45.700 --> 02:27:48.180
Dam by going there.

02:27:48.820 --> 02:27:51.300
Like, yeah, I guess I guess that that's something.

02:27:52.260 --> 02:27:54.660
Here's a helicopter. You can learn how to fix it.

02:27:56.900 --> 02:27:59.620
Yeah. Have fun.

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.

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.

02:28:08.500 --> 02:28:11.940
I just let the school kind of do their curriculum and reading, writing,

02:28:11.940 --> 02:28:15.540
arithmetic and a little bit of performing arts and fine arts and.

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.

02:28:21.460 --> 02:28:24.740
So if I, if I were you, I would be most concerned about making sure that

02:28:24.740 --> 02:28:28.820
they're not just like. Did you just accuse Yvonne of cheating?

02:28:28.820 --> 02:28:31.540
What? No, I'm talking to the person who sent in the merge message.

02:28:32.500 --> 02:28:34.900
We all know Yvonne's the real parent. Yeah.

02:28:35.780 --> 02:28:36.340
That's fair.

02:28:38.900 --> 02:28:39.940
Of four kids.

02:28:44.180 --> 02:28:47.620
And 15 cats. Five, five.

02:28:48.260 --> 02:28:51.780
We'll get there. But like, yeah, I don't know, showing them

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.

02:29:00.340 --> 02:29:03.460
Doing things like that. Giving them a reason to give a crap about anything.

02:29:05.780 --> 02:29:09.940
Yeah. My fiance is homeschooled. She's mostly normal. Says teedog420.

02:29:09.940 --> 02:29:10.260
Okay.

02:29:13.300 --> 02:29:15.860
Nice. Nice. Nice.

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.

02:29:19.860 --> 02:29:22.580
Same bad time. Same bad channel. Bye.

02:29:31.220 --> 02:29:55.540
It's like anything is kind of education.
