I tell my story 00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:35.200 So so she so she's like, oh we should we should you know, yeah, you could do that and I was like 00:14:36.400 --> 00:14:42.240 You know, I had really planned to just be on vacation this time this one time 00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:50.720 I had planned to just be on vacation we could just go to Asia and I could not shoot a video in a tech mall and 00:14:52.480 --> 00:15:02.320 Then I was like, well, okay Let's have a look at what my options are if I don't go to the tech mall and I went wait a second 00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:07.520 my laptop is running Kubuntu right now and I have I 00:15:08.400 --> 00:15:15.760 Had a bunch of issues on the plane on the way over here trying to get screen capture going because I was gaming on the plane 00:15:15.760 --> 00:15:20.080 And because I I didn't bother to convert my handheld yet 00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:27.040 I was like, okay. Well my gaming machine for this trip then is my laptop because I have to game on Linux 00:15:27.760 --> 00:15:31.400 Dude, I had so many problems 00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:36.440 But then not any of the problems that were anything to do with gaming 00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:41.640 So we can talk about those later. Okay, the point is we got here 00:15:41.640 --> 00:15:44.960 And I was like, oh, I really don't know about doing the tech mall thing and then I was like wait 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:51.640 Can I even join the WAN Show in my laptop's current state because OBS was a mess 00:15:51.640 --> 00:15:58.240 I couldn't get screen capture working because I was trying to show some of the challenges that I was having on the plane on 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:01.840 The way over here and I wanted to record them and I literally couldn't 00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:07.160 Still haven't solved it. I'm sure I can but I just haven't put in a ton of time to solve it yet 00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:12.640 so I fired it up and I was like, oh 00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:19.320 We are in serious trouble here because what I didn't realize is that while my camera works 00:16:19.640 --> 00:16:25.920 The camera on this this ASUS machine that I'm that I'm demoing right now that I'm using for the Linux challenge 00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:29.200 Super cool machine Strix Halo OLED screen 00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:34.000 Beautiful machine awful webcam just 00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:37.480 horrendous so the webcam sucked and 00:16:37.920 --> 00:16:45.800 even worse my odd my onboard audio it turns out wasn't working and I didn't realize that for 00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:50.040 I've been I've been Linux piled on this thing for I think two weeks now 00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:57.320 The reason I didn't notice is because I I almost exclusively use my laptop docked 00:16:57.680 --> 00:17:05.680 So I'm always running over. I'm always using a USB audio device or an HDMI audio device 00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:13.560 Which does work or I'm using my AirPods which do work my actual onboard audio 00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:19.440 Doesn't work. Oh, and so I So I'm in the hotel room and I'm like, okay 00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:24.280 Am I gonna be able to do this and I just plug my headphones into my laptop and I go, holy crap 00:17:24.280 --> 00:17:31.280 I don't have a my say I would normally use this mic and then I would use my headphones and neither of them were working 00:17:31.280 --> 00:17:39.120 I was like Okay, what now hmm. I can't go back to Windows. That's not in the spirit of the challenge 00:17:40.280 --> 00:17:45.400 So what are we gonna do? All right, we got to go to a tech mall 00:17:46.040 --> 00:17:49.240 We're going to the tech mall so 00:17:49.320 --> 00:17:55.640 Okay, one one side just a just a pause just pause you're we're getting some choppiness is this 00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:02.040 Cuz you're on the other side of the planet like I'm looking for input potentially from Dan as well. This is your laptop 00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:11.880 No, this is me using a Solution that I found. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. All right. All right that I think you're gonna like 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:15.160 I think you're gonna like the solution. Okay. Is it a perfect solution? 00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:23.840 No My audio good, is it just the video that chops a bit the audio? I mean, it's I can it's clear 00:18:23.840 --> 00:18:29.440 It's not as high quality as we've sometimes had on remote calls, but it's I just mean does it chop does it chop? 00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:36.400 No, audio seems fine. I think it's just the video. I think all right. Okay, so I headed to the tech mall which 00:18:37.560 --> 00:18:42.960 The Wikipedia article indicates is amazing, you know, and I found some other sort of 00:18:43.360 --> 00:18:50.120 Raw raw raw Korea type articles that are like, yeah, yeah, it's amazing. It's the best. It's the biggest in South Korea 00:18:50.120 --> 00:18:56.080 It's awesome. That sounds great. And then I found some recent reviews on TripAdvisor and 00:18:56.520 --> 00:19:01.240 from found some recent discussion on Reddit that it's 00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:06.680 maybe seen better days and is quote-unquote a ghost town and 00:19:07.760 --> 00:19:18.280 quote-unquote full of scammers and So I went in with very mixed expectations. It's gigantic. It's across 00:19:20.120 --> 00:19:27.880 Over 20 buildings and totals like 5,000 shops. So unlike, you know, Simlim Square or 00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:32.120 unlike the one that I went to in 00:19:33.120 --> 00:19:37.360 What's it called the the the Taipei one? It's not a mall 00:19:38.040 --> 00:19:46.880 It's more like Like I'm gonna pronounce it wrong, but like Washong Bay like like the big tech district in 00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:49.920 In Shenzhen. It's it's more like that 00:19:50.560 --> 00:19:56.160 So it's just like it's like a district and some of it is, you know, corporate offices and some of it is 00:19:56.320 --> 00:20:03.200 Tech malls and some of it is more like traditional malls that just have a bunch of tech on the ground floor 00:20:03.560 --> 00:20:09.440 so I Had a simple objective Luke a simple objective 00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:15.720 I wanted a desk USB microphone and a bougie web cam at any time. Any time 00:20:16.360 --> 00:20:18.360 has a simple 00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:27.120 I feel like you need more complicated objectives, so then maybe things will be easier. I don't I don't know 00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:31.200 It's so true though like seven gamers one CPU 00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:35.520 Yeah Got it done 00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:41.560 Yeah, I don't know For bonus points for bonus points 00:20:41.560 --> 00:20:49.360 I was like, hey, it'd be kind of cool to have a little LED light, you know, so that I would actually look dice. Sure. All right 00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:51.880 so I made my way through 00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:56.960 four or five floors of this place and 00:20:57.840 --> 00:21:02.600 First it seemed extremely promising just about the first store 00:21:02.600 --> 00:21:08.520 I walked into had a little like razor desk microphone and I was like, oh, this is great 00:21:08.520 --> 00:21:15.320 This was basically effortless. I'm I'm gonna be good to go. But hey, you know, I don't want to buy the first thing 00:21:15.320 --> 00:21:22.320 I see I'm not that kind of guy. I want to I want a scrapyard hunt a little bit. I want I want to see what else they got 00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:27.920 so anyway, I like pour through this place and 00:21:29.280 --> 00:21:34.640 It dude, it's a journey. It's a journey. It ended up being like a very old-school video 00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:38.520 I actually filmed it completely myself. Okay, I'm just on an iPhone 00:21:38.520 --> 00:21:45.040 I've got my mic pack and I'm just exploring this tech mall and the ups and downs are crazy 00:21:45.040 --> 00:21:49.760 I'm like this is I Probably more excited about this than like I 00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:55.480 Don't know that's just that sounds great. I Don't know much else to say 00:21:56.120 --> 00:22:03.560 At one point at one point shortly after noticing an entire store dedicated to Noctua, which was pretty cool 00:22:04.080 --> 00:22:12.640 I Was like on the verge of giving up and I find a Logitech store and I'm like, oh my gosh 00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:16.640 That's it. That's the solution to my problem and I go wait. Oh, oh, oh 00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:24.520 It's just mice It's like it's like just mice. Whoa, okay. He's got two webcams 00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:28.960 he has the dinkiest webcam of all time and 00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:39.520 The other ever so slightly less dinkiest webcam of all time and no microphones and then finally I was like, okay 00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:45.560 Well, I don't want to walk away completely empty handed. I'm gonna go get that mic from the shops closed 00:22:45.760 --> 00:22:49.520 Every other shop in the entire mall is open the one shop 00:22:49.520 --> 00:22:54.940 I went everywhere else not a single other desktop microphone. Lots of like crappy tacky gaming headsets 00:22:55.320 --> 00:23:00.760 No desktop USB microphones. They're freaking closed. So I'm just like, okay 00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:07.240 Who we're we are getting to the point now where we are starting to run out of time and I have nothing 00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:12.280 I have no microphone. I have no webcam and I especially have no LED light 00:23:13.040 --> 00:23:18.800 so I'm just like I'm gonna go I'm gonna go to the Noctua store because I 00:23:19.520 --> 00:23:22.720 Have an entire Noctua store. They're just probably based 00:23:23.280 --> 00:23:31.120 And I'm gonna ask them for help I did ask I did ask some other people for help and they were basically just like no English. Goodbye 00:23:31.120 --> 00:23:38.760 I was like, okay. I mean fair enough, right? Like yeah, fine. Yeah, but which is funny though because in general 00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:44.320 I'm in South Korea if nobody figured that out yet from sort of the contextual clues. I 00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:51.280 I Everywhere else I've gone people have been like trip over themselves to be helpful helpful 00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:54.920 Like I'll just I had a great experience a little bit confused 00:23:54.920 --> 00:24:00.200 I I spent like like four seconds looking at a metro map 00:24:00.320 --> 00:24:05.160 Just to make sure that I was going down the right stairwell to go to the right terminus station, right? 00:24:05.160 --> 00:24:09.600 And some guy walks over and he's like, can I help you do you need help or you lost? 00:24:09.600 --> 00:24:18.860 I'm like, no, no, I'm actually good. But wow like thank you Been absolutely incredible not in the tech mall for some reason the vibe was very like like you make eye contact with them 00:24:18.860 --> 00:24:24.900 And they go oh foreigner pretend. I didn't see him like and then even like like like laughing to each other that they're 00:24:24.900 --> 00:24:28.460 They're both like going out of their way to ignore me right now. I'm like, okay, sure 00:24:29.300 --> 00:24:34.180 It might just be the one building that I started in though. Anyway, the Noctua dudes 00:24:34.980 --> 00:24:41.140 Absolute bros. I we used Google translate and we figured it out and they sent me to a different building 00:24:41.420 --> 00:24:44.940 where Once again, I 00:24:44.940 --> 00:24:48.940 Found something I needed like immediately. Well, I'm just gonna check. Yeah 00:24:48.940 --> 00:24:55.780 I walked basically through the door and into a shop with a road NT USB plus 00:24:55.780 --> 00:25:03.340 Which is a perfectly Cromulent desktop microphone except once again. I was like, well, come on 00:25:03.340 --> 00:25:07.540 I'm not gonna I'm not gonna just buy the first thing I see never mind that it's like 00:25:07.940 --> 00:25:13.460 Getting to be close to Yvonne and the kids are done at the zoo and we should probably get together for dinner at some point 00:25:13.740 --> 00:25:20.060 But I want to look around a little bit because dude this place was nuts in terms of like camera and production gear 00:25:20.180 --> 00:25:24.220 Like they had I think it was what was it like an FS7? 00:25:24.660 --> 00:25:31.980 Mark 2 or something like that like multiple used camera bodies of that caliber right next to each other amidst like a 00:25:32.340 --> 00:25:35.220 hundred other production grade camera bodies just like 00:25:36.220 --> 00:25:42.140 Dude, you'd never get away with this kind of thing in North America Just like on the ground floor of this mall like right next to the exit 00:25:42.140 --> 00:25:46.940 Yeah, I get hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of camera bodies just like sitting on the counter crazy 00:25:46.940 --> 00:25:48.940 Not even like like bolted to anything 00:25:50.020 --> 00:25:53.900 and Like and full of like second-hand stuff 00:25:54.500 --> 00:26:01.060 Tons of second-hand tech actually in both in the first mall, which was more like PC hardware and in the second 00:26:01.060 --> 00:26:07.020 Mall that ended up being more like video production and then also PC hardware and also like the 00:26:07.260 --> 00:26:13.140 bougiest audio equipment Dan you'd get such a kick out of this place like I saw turn tables that were 00:26:13.380 --> 00:26:18.500 Way more art than they were actually meant to be a turntable as far as I could tell 00:26:19.220 --> 00:26:22.740 Anyway, I walk into the place. I get a quote. Okay. How much is it? 00:26:24.540 --> 00:26:36.140 Nothing's got pricing on it in a lot of the shops so they just like they pull it a calculator and it's like you ain't calculating nothing you're just typing a number in like you just 00:26:37.260 --> 00:26:41.780 They just use it so that they can I don't know seem like they calculated the price 00:26:41.780 --> 00:26:47.660 Well, isn't it that thing like don't automotive dealerships do this too if they don't say it if they just show it to you 00:26:47.660 --> 00:26:52.220 It doesn't like impact as much. I think I think it's like a psychological thing 00:26:52.220 --> 00:26:56.520 I think so because dealerships will like write down the number and like slide it over to you on paper 00:26:56.520 --> 00:26:58.520 So they don't have to say it 00:26:59.760 --> 00:27:06.320 Really I wonder if chat's gonna chime in in Japan these calculator show prices everywhere, too 00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:09.200 Maybe it's 00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:15.320 Yeah, like I could I could definitely see that 00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:19.680 When I bought my bike so he negotiation tool. Maybe it's both 00:27:21.160 --> 00:27:25.000 He shows me this price he shows me this price on his calculator and I go, okay 00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:31.280 Well, you know, I want to shop around a little bit No, not gonna buy the first thing I see and I go and I look it up after I leave him like oh my god 00:27:31.280 --> 00:27:36.080 That's like a hundred US dollars more than if I just bought this thing at B&H. So while it's a 00:27:37.120 --> 00:27:39.760 perfectly good desktop microphone and 00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:44.820 While I'll be honest with you guys, right like I'm you know, let's be real 00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:49.360 The WAN Show must go on and if it came down to it 00:27:49.360 --> 00:27:55.440 I would buy it so that I can be coming to you guys with reasonable quality from halfway around the world 00:27:56.240 --> 00:28:04.400 But I don't like just Burning a hundred dollars like that. It doesn't make me happy. Yeah, so I was like, okay, I 00:28:05.080 --> 00:28:11.560 Need to try to find something else Dude if I'd been looking for like a like a hammer microphone 00:28:11.560 --> 00:28:18.880 And I wanted like a professional like like audio mixer or whatever dude. I'd have been I'd have been so good 00:28:19.040 --> 00:28:26.240 So awesome. If I wanted a road like like camera mounted like vlogging microphone. I'd have been so good. I 00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:32.640 Couldn't find a single other place that had a USB microphone even in this second mall 00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:38.380 And I was like starting to lose hope and then and then this is actually kind of amazing 00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:43.680 totally serendipitous I was going past this store kind of like talking about 00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:47.600 the the the one one side of it and 00:28:48.040 --> 00:28:55.120 Buddy gets like real mad at me for having my camera because some of the stores here in particular the gaming ones 00:28:55.200 --> 00:29:01.920 They do not want you filming their storefronts And I don't know if it's because they have knockoff stuff or like pirated 00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:06.480 Software or they have like emulated software running as part of their display. I 00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:16.960 Whatever their reasons are for it. There was one like Like very Nintendo centric shop in particular that was like super mad when I had my phone out. I was like, sorry, bro 00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:20.840 I like honestly don't didn't even care about your store. So 00:29:21.800 --> 00:29:28.960 Sure anyway, I was going past this like this island in the middle of the mall and and I and I 00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:36.520 Accidentally shot it and he's like bro was like super mad and then that actually made me stop 00:29:36.520 --> 00:29:41.400 And I realized that and oh when you got mad at me about wearing a backpack, too 00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:51.960 He was the first one to yell at me about my backpack and Because I stopped because he yelled at me. I realized that he also had the like the little hole in the wall next to it and 00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:56.920 He had an NT USB plus in there and I was like, okay 00:29:57.440 --> 00:30:03.000 Well, look we got off on the wrong foot, but I'll tell you what I'm gonna take my backpack off. You can have it 00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:05.480 I'm gonna go over there and I'm gonna look a little bit more closely 00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:10.520 and He gave me a way better price. So 00:30:10.920 --> 00:30:18.040 Here it is, okay, I'm coming to you guys from a road NT USB plus and 00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:24.340 I had long since given up on finding a bougie webcam. So I 00:30:24.960 --> 00:30:33.520 Went all in Luke Chips all in on the table on being able to use my phone as my webcam 00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:40.240 Which is where the Linux saves the day comes in at the end of this story, okay? 00:30:40.560 --> 00:30:47.080 Interesting buddy buddy with the mic also had what were it? What were the other things I needed? Okay, right, right, right? 00:30:47.080 --> 00:30:53.600 I needed a stand and a and a light the light ended up not being great. I've got this 00:30:53.600 --> 00:30:57.000 What is it? It's a small rig. I want to say p96 00:30:58.520 --> 00:31:06.280 Yeah, more like poo poo 96 because this thing as far as I can tell just makes everything I pointed at worse 00:31:06.520 --> 00:31:10.800 I Didn't had me turn it off before the show 00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:15.000 So I also want to stand in a light that are that are pretty bad 00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:20.040 And then from another one down the like just down the walkway in the mall 00:31:20.040 --> 00:31:26.480 I got a little phone tripod. That's also a selfie stick and and that's what I'm coming to you guys from there 00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:29.240 So it's just over my my laptop webcam 00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:32.320 So last night I get back to the room 00:31:33.080 --> 00:31:40.080 Man shows in the morning for me, right? Like it's a 9 a.m. Start or whatever it was. So I'm not gonna have time to go out 00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:44.040 Shopping and re could jigger a solution before literally 00:31:44.040 --> 00:31:50.720 Yeah, don't have another SSD to like put Windows on this laptop and get that working because I've done the whole 00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:55.760 Phone as a webcam thing before but never on Linux 00:31:58.200 --> 00:32:01.640 So last night it's desperation time 00:32:02.640 --> 00:32:05.440 First I get the mic working the mic's working 00:32:05.920 --> 00:32:11.400 But like OBS wasn't recording it for some blah blah blah a lot of troubleshooting that unfortunately 00:32:11.400 --> 00:32:17.040 I tried to record and ultimately I don't think I was able to record because the mic wasn't recording any of it 00:32:17.040 --> 00:32:22.760 So yeah, cool that probably won't make it into the video and then I was like, okay 00:32:22.760 --> 00:32:24.760 I need to figure out this camera 00:32:26.120 --> 00:32:30.640 So I found three solutions suggested by AI 00:32:31.480 --> 00:32:37.080 All of which apparently are Ubuntu ready Debian ready 00:32:38.560 --> 00:32:42.040 I'm not using Ubuntu. I'm using Kubuntu or Ubuntu 00:32:42.600 --> 00:32:46.840 It's Ubuntu not Ubuntu, but it's hard for me to remember that anyway 00:32:46.840 --> 00:32:53.320 I'm using Kubuntu, but that's basically just Ubuntu with kitty. So it should be anything anything Ubuntu. I should be good to go 00:32:54.040 --> 00:33:02.040 so I fire up my What what's what's it called home discover which is the kind of the app store that Kubuntu comes with and 00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:06.080 Even though I've already configured it to use 00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:13.240 What are the what are the ones that I added I added flat hub and I think I added something else 00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:16.800 two of the three suggestions for 00:33:17.600 --> 00:33:23.240 Use your phone as a webcam things didn't show up or they like 00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:31.480 Yeah, basically yeah, didn't work and then I found this one that is rated like three stars I 00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:36.960 Re in webcam for Linux v2.9.1 I 00:33:39.400 --> 00:33:44.560 Installed it There was literally nothing to configure 00:33:45.600 --> 00:33:49.000 I Don't think I have ever 00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:51.960 used anything this seamlessly before 00:33:52.360 --> 00:33:59.200 In my life, you've just got a drop-down. Which camera would you like that camera back? 00:33:59.960 --> 00:34:03.200 Telephoto What what was that? 00:34:07.040 --> 00:34:09.680 What one of them was like a monkey face or something 00:34:10.560 --> 00:34:16.000 What do you mean monkey? That's my face bro. I don't know. I think one of them wasn't you. No, I swear 00:34:16.720 --> 00:34:25.400 I Swear what was there not did you see that did anyone else am I crazy? I'm pulling up play back 00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:31.060 What was that? That what that was my face, bro. No 00:34:33.440 --> 00:34:38.400 There's another drop-down for video format you just pick your resolution and you pick your frame rate and 00:34:38.760 --> 00:34:43.440 Then there's another whether you want to use the audio from your iPhone 00:34:44.440 --> 00:34:46.440 That's it, and you're just 00:34:47.640 --> 00:34:51.760 You're just good to go What it what? 00:34:53.960 --> 00:34:58.120 Apparently it was my face it was zoomed in super blown out and upside down 00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:06.000 The telephoto screen cap it my bad my bad, okay 00:35:09.880 --> 00:35:12.440 It's gonna monitor is gonna 00:35:14.160 --> 00:35:20.920 So I connected with a cable and that didn't seem to do anything so I'm just on hotel Wi-Fi. It just 00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:27.000 Immediately worked and has not been perfect, but it has like 00:35:28.400 --> 00:35:38.400 Basically worked for as long as I've been streaming with you today So I am completely coming to you Linux live, and it's going great. Thanks to 00:35:39.080 --> 00:35:42.400 Irian webcam v2.9.1 00:35:43.760 --> 00:35:45.760 Awesome, that's actually that's my 00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:49.320 It's been it's been sort of 00:35:50.040 --> 00:35:55.240 Almost like a like a microcosm of my entire Linux experience 00:35:56.320 --> 00:36:01.800 Even like over the years if I try to do something complicated. It's shocking how 00:36:03.040 --> 00:36:08.920 How somebody thought of that and built a solution for it it tends to be and you try to do something 00:36:09.920 --> 00:36:13.880 When I try to do the simplest bloody 00:36:13.880 --> 00:36:17.960 thing It breaks. Let me install steam gone 00:36:18.680 --> 00:36:22.160 Let me let me use my phone's camera as a webcam instantly works 00:36:23.280 --> 00:36:29.160 That's easy. See like I would have I would have been scared of that problem to be completely honest 00:36:30.440 --> 00:36:34.560 Yeah, I'm surprised that was just like one shot. That's really cool actually I 00:36:35.400 --> 00:36:38.520 was I was scared of this problem and like 00:36:39.680 --> 00:36:43.080 I don't know man, and you know what's funny is I saw someone 00:36:43.520 --> 00:36:51.160 Cringing that I'm using AI as part of the Linux challenge, but there's two things right one is that that's how people are gonna 00:36:51.160 --> 00:36:55.120 Do it. Yeah, you don't have to like it, but you do have to just kind of sit down and accept it 00:36:55.680 --> 00:37:01.920 Like all of my normie friends and family they go straight for the AI when they want to know how to do something these days 00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:07.840 And there's also like you don't have to take my word for it That's just like us and that's just like declining 00:37:08.400 --> 00:37:13.200 Use of of click-through. That's just a fact. That's just how it is and you can you can hate it 00:37:13.240 --> 00:37:18.880 Yep, but you do just have to like deal with it that that's how people are doing things and what this is 00:37:19.640 --> 00:37:27.240 Sorry, you can keep going Number two is honestly, it's been way more useful when I was trying to figure out my screen recording issue 00:37:27.240 --> 00:37:32.920 I came out. I came across a like a discussion thread that had I kid you not 00:37:33.520 --> 00:37:41.600 Five different solutions for how I can solve screen recording issues on Kubuntu. I don't want five solutions 00:37:41.600 --> 00:37:47.820 I want to know how to fix it and and and all these individual people are just arguing with each other about 00:37:48.400 --> 00:37:52.280 The the validity and merit of all these various 00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:58.320 Solutions some of which like I tried the first couple and they didn't even like apply anymore 00:37:59.040 --> 00:38:02.600 just Wasn't that useful? And so 00:38:03.280 --> 00:38:07.480 That's the two that's the two things so as part of the Linux challenge 00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:16.000 It's something that I would do Anyway, just because a huge part of my approach is that I'm trying to I'm trying to kind of channel my inner 00:38:16.600 --> 00:38:24.120 What would a random, you know, and I have this one guy that I think of when I think of the slack jawed gamer and 00:38:24.480 --> 00:38:27.320 I bumped into him at packs 00:38:27.800 --> 00:38:35.040 Like 11 years ago. Oh, it was back when NVIDIA launched the shield portable handheld. Remember that thing? 00:38:35.040 --> 00:38:39.200 Yeah, and I know I know the story You know the story, you know the story 00:38:39.520 --> 00:38:44.640 Okay, so I encountered this guy who's sitting on a beanbag 00:38:45.640 --> 00:38:50.420 Playing a PC game on this on this Android portable 00:38:51.400 --> 00:38:55.960 That is streaming over Wi-Fi, which at the time was absolutely 00:38:56.600 --> 00:39:01.520 Mind-blowing. Yeah, I was so I was so amped about like Wi-Fi 00:39:02.280 --> 00:39:07.720 Game streaming and the fact that this device was like decent ergonomics and reasonable portability that could play Android games 00:39:07.720 --> 00:39:15.720 And you could stream your freaking PC games over Wi-Fi to it. It blew my freaking mind and eventually became G-Force now and 00:39:16.040 --> 00:39:20.880 and and moonlight and and steam remote play and just this technology and 00:39:20.920 --> 00:39:26.600 The forefront of it. I think even just that concept in general also inspired you pretty heavily 00:39:27.480 --> 00:39:32.520 Towards what ended up being your like my my compute at my home is a server room thing 00:39:32.520 --> 00:39:38.800 Yes, because you used to talk a lot about how it would be likely that a lot of people would end up going that route and then 00:39:38.880 --> 00:39:45.080 Distributing compute throughout their house and then that didn't get as popular as kind of a lot of people actually expected 00:39:45.080 --> 00:39:49.000 But you were still able to pull it off well for your setup not in the way that I anticipated 00:39:49.040 --> 00:39:55.580 Instead it lives in a data center. Yes in the form of G-Force now. Yeah, or whatever Microsoft calls their remote Xbox stuff 00:39:56.200 --> 00:40:02.560 Anyway, the point is I walk up to this guy who's experiencing the freaking future in his hands and I go 00:40:04.560 --> 00:40:09.520 Like oh, yeah What do you think he's sitting there on this beanbag? He's like 00:40:10.240 --> 00:40:17.920 That was cool. I Was like, oh, yeah, did you do you realize that like it's it's like beaming to you and he's like 00:40:19.680 --> 00:40:25.480 He's just gaming he's just gaming he doesn't care how it works 00:40:26.320 --> 00:40:33.200 He doesn't he doesn't want to go any further than like the lowest possible friction path to he's just playing his game 00:40:33.200 --> 00:40:38.200 He's like locked in and I was like, okay. Well, I'm basically I'm talking to a vegetable at this point 00:40:38.200 --> 00:40:43.200 Yeah, but it was just it was really eye-opening to me because you know for many years 00:40:43.200 --> 00:40:47.840 I had thought oh well like, you know gamers were we're like we're very interested in like the hardware and 00:40:48.080 --> 00:40:53.640 And and and how it all you know is configured and what every setting means and we really care about all this stuff 00:40:53.640 --> 00:41:02.440 But no there is a very very large much larger way larger proportion of gamers who don't care 00:41:04.240 --> 00:41:10.120 At all Not even a little bit and and so yeah, probably high. Yes. Charged nuclei 00:41:10.800 --> 00:41:15.080 Almost definitely like high as a kite this guy. It was remarkable 00:41:16.440 --> 00:41:23.760 Anyway, I forget where I was going with this But the point is that that's how I'm doing it because that's how people are doing it and honestly I 00:41:24.600 --> 00:41:31.240 Can't argue with the result worked great. Thanks. I'm I'm coming to you. I'm coming to you over Linux Linux saved the WAN Show boys 00:41:32.360 --> 00:41:38.560 this and I don't I don't have a I don't have much Linux news things have been going fine for me 00:41:38.560 --> 00:41:42.080 I think I've already updated WAN Show on what's going with my laptop 00:41:43.080 --> 00:41:50.440 So I have Linux Mint on there For for yeah, I guess I guess a little bit of an update there just because you don't know what's going on 00:41:50.800 --> 00:41:54.000 Because in the video I talked about how I've been running arch on my laptop for a while 00:41:54.440 --> 00:41:59.040 technically when I filmed that it was running Windows and 00:41:59.920 --> 00:42:06.880 Up until fairly recently it was running Windows, but it was running Windows because it was having a hardware issue and 00:42:07.160 --> 00:42:13.800 Lenovo the laptop maker was like maybe it's Linux, which is I'm not even upset at them for saying that 00:42:14.680 --> 00:42:17.360 Reasonable enough because the hardware issue that was that was 00:42:17.880 --> 00:42:21.280 Happening was the screen would just like lock and that's kind of weird 00:42:21.320 --> 00:42:24.840 So like it wasn't like the computer would just shut down randomly or anything the screen would lock 00:42:26.320 --> 00:42:29.640 And there was no yeah anyways So they were like can you try Windows? 00:42:29.640 --> 00:42:33.680 So I did and the same problem happened and then I just was too lazy to switch back over because 00:42:33.880 --> 00:42:37.520 The whole point of running arch was to just point out that if you live in a browser all the time 00:42:37.520 --> 00:42:42.760 It just doesn't really matter and then Windows was getting in my way because the start menu stopped working 00:42:42.760 --> 00:42:45.880 So I rage I rage installed mint because I'm more comfortable with mint 00:42:46.640 --> 00:42:53.520 And mid spin a fantastic experience I was pointing out to people before the show that I think it's actually really cool, and I don't know how many 00:42:54.240 --> 00:42:57.440 Maybe there's tons of other examples of this. I don't know. I'm not that experience 00:42:57.840 --> 00:43:01.040 But like if I type in SN for snipping tool 00:43:02.040 --> 00:43:06.920 Screen shot will come up a tool that mint has yeah, it's not snipping whatever 00:43:06.920 --> 00:43:11.080 It's screen shot if I type in paint it'll come up with drawing 00:43:11.600 --> 00:43:15.280 It it has like something some form of information 00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:18.440 That's like these are common things a Windows user would type in a start menu 00:43:18.440 --> 00:43:23.600 It's kind of what they expect to come up, and then those things tend to come up, which is fantastic keywords 00:43:23.600 --> 00:43:27.520 Yeah, some aliases keywords something they have some type of list yeah 00:43:27.800 --> 00:43:34.520 Metadata yeah, and it makes it just super easy. Oh my god everything. I've had to do super easy 00:43:34.520 --> 00:43:38.440 I had to sign PDF said stuff's already installed whatever super easy. What a joke 00:43:40.640 --> 00:43:46.480 The biggest problem with computers that I've had in the last week 00:43:47.800 --> 00:43:51.040 Isn't isn't like technically a problem. It didn't stop me from doing anything 00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:54.880 But it's been that this computer is 00:43:55.720 --> 00:44:01.080 Dan, and I think it's like failing to Windows update, but constantly trying 00:44:02.680 --> 00:44:13.840 Because there's Because there's the Windows modules installer worker that for literally hours at this point has been taking up a very 00:44:14.080 --> 00:44:19.600 Significant amount of memory a very significant amount of CPU a decent amount of disk just 00:44:20.600 --> 00:44:27.520 Everything and going like hard there has been times where we've seen it spin up to over like 40% CPU usage 00:44:27.920 --> 00:44:34.240 And it's just sitting there almost always at the top the highest process being used and like I've got I've got 00:44:34.640 --> 00:44:40.120 Chrome open right now on here with with the the WAN dock and and Floatplane and chat and all this kind of stuff 00:44:40.120 --> 00:44:46.800 And it's it's not even chrome that's using the most system resources. It's the Windows module installer 00:44:47.520 --> 00:44:55.080 I've had some other interesting issues with it You try to install it and it fails and then to retry it has to download the whole thing again nice 00:44:55.080 --> 00:45:00.480 And so it's probably downloading and it's so slow. Yeah, and then it fails and tries again 00:45:01.120 --> 00:45:05.440 so with with one browser with three tabs open and 00:45:06.440 --> 00:45:10.120 task manager I'm at 60% memory 00:45:11.000 --> 00:45:16.480 25% CPU usage because Windows module installer and the service host Windows event log 00:45:16.840 --> 00:45:22.920 and WMI and and a few other things are just cranking like all the time 00:45:24.600 --> 00:45:28.560 And and yeah, so the biggest problem 00:45:29.200 --> 00:45:32.400 I've had during the Linux challenge has been a Windows computer 00:45:33.800 --> 00:45:35.800 That being said I haven't 00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:41.240 I've been intentionally avoiding some things knowing that they won't work 00:45:41.560 --> 00:45:49.160 But yeah, here's a question for you. Yeah, is that a hack? 00:45:51.800 --> 00:45:55.320 Because I have mixed thoughts on this like on the one hand 00:45:56.200 --> 00:46:00.200 Launching a game that says not compatible on proton DB 00:46:00.760 --> 00:46:04.240 That feels like just throwing Linux under the bus, right? 00:46:04.480 --> 00:46:09.080 Well, on the other hand if you go in in good faith being like I need to accomplish 00:46:09.800 --> 00:46:17.120 Task a well, here's my here's my out. There's no solution. Yeah. No, that's fine. Here's my good faith thing. I don't check I 00:46:18.120 --> 00:46:25.680 Don't even go to proton interesting I run in compatibility mode with 10 10 whatever 10-04 whatever it is the newest 00:46:26.160 --> 00:46:28.880 proton compatibility mode and I just run it 00:46:30.640 --> 00:46:35.760 Interesting I don't play as many games. I don't game as much as I used to everything's been fine 00:46:36.520 --> 00:46:44.720 The little tux in your game library will like tell you if it's Linux ready anyway, so you don't even use that. No, don't look 00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:55.120 That's crazy. Just to me That's the kind of thing that if I did people would be losing their minds at me like I'm like I'm trying I haven't ran into a 00:46:55.120 --> 00:46:59.660 Single problem if I if I clicked play and it didn't launch I'd look into something 00:46:59.660 --> 00:47:05.160 But there has been no reason to like that. I'm not I'm not trying to there's a I saw some reviews 00:47:05.320 --> 00:47:09.640 Some people like reviewing our first video and like some comment threads about it 00:47:09.640 --> 00:47:12.520 And they're all like all while he's fine because he's like super Linux experience 00:47:13.080 --> 00:47:18.060 I'm not do it in like the same way that Linus isn't doing anything. I'm not doing anything 00:47:19.080 --> 00:47:27.640 I'm not I'm doing nothing I so far it's been kind of luck of the draw, but like you saw this right like we went down to Florida. I 00:47:28.920 --> 00:47:30.980 downloaded Slay the Spire 2 on 00:47:32.600 --> 00:47:39.600 Pre-release launch I clicked play I would assume something light like Slay the Spire sure work 00:47:39.600 --> 00:47:45.960 I didn't but then you can't assume you can't I don't think that's a crazy assumption either to be honest, but like yeah 00:47:46.200 --> 00:47:52.800 Yeah, it wouldn't be crazy if it didn't work. Yeah, it's in EA, right? Yeah, but I didn't check any electronic arts 00:47:52.800 --> 00:47:57.480 I didn't I didn't look up if anyone was having problems before we went into a place with dubious internet 00:47:57.480 --> 00:48:01.200 I I didn't right a plan anything. I did nothing 00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:05.400 Install the game clicked play and it worked completely flawlessly 00:48:06.920 --> 00:48:09.080 It's also good dough. It's it's like 00:48:10.040 --> 00:48:12.440 Yeah, it's yeah, I just 00:48:13.960 --> 00:48:21.000 It's been I I I played probably about three hours of God of War 00:48:22.080 --> 00:48:27.320 Like like remaster like not the first God of War game from like the PlayStation or whatever 00:48:27.320 --> 00:48:31.360 But like yeah God of War the relaunch, whatever you want to call it. Yeah 00:48:31.920 --> 00:48:39.080 And it was freaking awesome I don't know if I was getting as much performance as I would have gotten on Windows 00:48:39.680 --> 00:48:43.600 But I was getting enough performance. I did run into a weird issue where 00:48:44.840 --> 00:48:50.000 My charger I only brought like a little compact 65 watt charger and this laptop 00:48:50.840 --> 00:48:54.520 Realistic it comes with like a 150 watt charger or something like that 00:48:54.720 --> 00:49:02.720 But I can I can game off of that charger and it'll like it'll hold the line like it won't charge or discharge 00:49:04.040 --> 00:49:10.000 so that was what I brought with me and I did run into an issue where I got down to 10% battery and 00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:16.160 I got that notification and then I was like, oh crap someone knocked my my charger off on the plane 00:49:16.160 --> 00:49:23.040 So I put it back in and then because that notification kept like coming and going and coming and going because I was like riding 10% forever 00:49:23.320 --> 00:49:29.400 the game Eventually entered a state where it just got kind of choppy and wouldn't run properly 00:49:29.400 --> 00:49:36.120 So I had to turn it off Charge up a little bit launch the game again, and then it was smooth again, but like realistically 00:49:37.720 --> 00:49:42.320 I don't know I would have you could have an issue like that on a on a Windows PC as well 00:49:42.320 --> 00:49:48.440 So I'm I'm counting that as as it ran pretty darn good. Yeah, and I'm really enjoying the game so far. I 00:49:49.280 --> 00:49:52.880 Finally freaking playing it. It's funny. How that kind of happens for me is 00:49:53.400 --> 00:49:57.560 It takes like a new device launch or a Linux challenge or something for me to 00:49:58.040 --> 00:50:01.480 Finally get into a game. I've been meaning to play for years. Yeah 00:50:02.040 --> 00:50:08.360 That come out 2018 or 2017 or something not quite, but I think I think we're getting close 00:50:09.200 --> 00:50:14.120 There's been like sequels to it since then But there is some things like you know 00:50:15.520 --> 00:50:20.480 I'm not playing I don't know Basically any multiplayer shooter game 00:50:21.320 --> 00:50:27.800 Yeah And again, it's I feel like it's less impactful this time around so I'm not playing as much stuff 00:50:29.520 --> 00:50:35.560 Right. Yeah, I mean your gaming rig has been just like locked away for a freaking six months anyway 00:50:35.560 --> 00:50:40.400 So it's not like you're like locked in and hyper deep into a season of something 00:50:40.400 --> 00:50:47.800 Yeah, right as you're you're starting the challenge There is the wipes coming soon and you want to get in a bunch of gaming or whatever the one casualty is 00:50:48.680 --> 00:50:55.400 um Tarkov released 1.0 recently and you can like escape from Tarkov now you can like complete the game 00:50:56.120 --> 00:51:03.720 Um, and I like have some curiosity to do that and finally put like a pin in it and be like I have completed 00:51:05.240 --> 00:51:07.560 And and that's the the draw is not 00:51:08.760 --> 00:51:14.520 Strong enough for me to like really care I think like it's it's one of those we had this conversation pretty early of like 00:51:15.320 --> 00:51:20.520 It kind of blows me to compromise What games you can play because your operating system? 00:51:21.080 --> 00:51:23.800 And I'm sitting here on Linux being like the experience has been pretty good 00:51:25.240 --> 00:51:32.600 I don't really care enough. I think to uh, so far this this is even I think that might be a bit of a boomer dad take though 00:51:32.840 --> 00:51:41.000 It might be but it's where like gaming is not Gaming is not as much of a central part. No, no that I know I just mean like gaming in general 00:51:41.000 --> 00:51:43.800 I don't think is as much of a central part of your social life 00:51:44.760 --> 00:51:47.720 That's where I'm getting with this. Yeah, there is a weird 00:51:47.800 --> 00:51:52.680 I saw somebody point out and I don't know if this will work with Tarkov. Maybe it were some of the things 00:51:53.240 --> 00:51:55.720 Uh, this isn't even a recommendation and like it's kind of 00:51:56.760 --> 00:52:02.520 I wouldn't want to do it. I'm I have actually less interest in this than I do in like dual booting, which I don't have a lot of interest in 00:52:03.000 --> 00:52:06.680 um But g-force now 00:52:07.160 --> 00:52:12.120 Is apparently a way you can get around some stuff like fortnite apparently you can play fortnite through g-force now 00:52:12.760 --> 00:52:18.440 um I I didn't have interest in playing fortnite before. I don't have interest in playing fortnite now 00:52:18.920 --> 00:52:23.640 Um, but yeah, like I'm trying to think of what slay the spire one and two have launched both of those 00:52:24.200 --> 00:52:27.560 um Baldur's gate 00:52:28.360 --> 00:52:33.240 Uh My dad and I jumped on wow that worked 00:52:33.720 --> 00:52:39.240 You just have to add wow you have to go in steam and then click activate a 00:52:40.040 --> 00:52:44.360 non-steam game And then just add the installer through there 00:52:44.840 --> 00:52:47.560 And it and then it'll just proton you yeah, it just works 00:52:48.520 --> 00:52:55.640 Okay, which is like, you know that does take a second you have to google like okay, what and then the whole internet 00:52:56.360 --> 00:53:00.280 Honestly, what's been really really helpful and I wonder if this is a bit of a hack for me 00:53:01.160 --> 00:53:06.520 Is part of the reason why I went with cash is because it's based on arch so I can follow the steam deck guides 00:53:08.040 --> 00:53:11.640 Right, yeah, so that was what I ended up seeing for 00:53:12.520 --> 00:53:16.680 Uh Wow was a steam deck guide. How do I play on steam deck? 00:53:17.160 --> 00:53:19.320 And I was like, that'll probably work for me. And then yeah, I did 00:53:20.280 --> 00:53:26.920 Uh, I gotta be honest with you. I've been happy about my kubuntu choice for pretty much the same reason 00:53:27.560 --> 00:53:32.360 Because kubuntu gebion. Yeah are by far 00:53:33.240 --> 00:53:41.000 The the the most supported when it comes to just like a random application for using your iphone as a webcam 00:53:41.560 --> 00:53:46.040 That being said literally I'd be really interested if you sent that to me because I 00:53:46.840 --> 00:53:49.320 Figured out recently the whole tarball thing 00:53:49.960 --> 00:53:57.480 It's just a zip file You just open it and then run the stuff that's inside of it and it seems to work fine. I had something that was made for 00:53:58.200 --> 00:54:02.760 uh debion Work with nothing from my end 00:54:03.320 --> 00:54:07.160 um Immediately and it was completely fine. So 00:54:07.400 --> 00:54:13.320 I don't know. Uh, let me have a look at what their what their download formats are 00:54:14.120 --> 00:54:20.040 Uh, oh, yeah, it's a oh, it's a beta. I actually forgot to mention that that the iran webcam is beta for Linux 00:54:20.200 --> 00:54:28.680 And it just worked immediately into 2204 or later required. So they're literally on their site was not an obvious way 00:54:29.400 --> 00:54:33.400 to um 00:54:33.800 --> 00:54:39.160 Yeah, so it's a dot deb download. So I just so all I had to do was just open it in my 00:54:39.880 --> 00:54:45.480 In my store in my discover store or whatever the stupid thing is called in my discover store and go for it 00:54:45.880 --> 00:54:51.640 Um, so sorry. No, this one's not beta. So the support for ubuntu is not beta 00:54:52.120 --> 00:54:56.680 And then there's a Linux RPM package, which i'm not familiar with. I don't know what that means 00:54:56.680 --> 00:55:01.640 I don't know how that relates to your tarballs or whatever um 00:55:01.640 --> 00:55:05.240 But that one is in beta and that's uh, yeah dot RPM whatever that is 00:55:05.560 --> 00:55:09.320 So when it comes to doing anything not gaming 00:55:10.280 --> 00:55:14.200 Which I haven't actually really needed a ton of guides for I've been 00:55:14.920 --> 00:55:22.200 extremely Luh happy to be on debian basically to be on ubuntu. Yeah, I found um 00:55:23.240 --> 00:55:27.560 You know mint just had all the stuff pre-installed like I've been having a good time with kashi 00:55:27.560 --> 00:55:30.600 But I I don't know if I would recommend kashi to a ton of people 00:55:31.320 --> 00:55:34.840 Um It's I hate to be that guy out of the box 00:55:35.720 --> 00:55:39.560 I don't know if I would recommend any flavor of the weak distro 00:55:39.800 --> 00:55:45.880 No, I and not not because this is a big part of the reason why I think yeah, but because the people who 00:55:46.760 --> 00:55:49.480 Tends to evangelize these distros 00:55:50.440 --> 00:55:53.960 Are self-selecting as people who enjoy 00:55:54.600 --> 00:55:59.320 tinkering Yeah, and so the very fact 00:55:59.320 --> 00:56:04.040 That they are recommending it tells me that that's probably not what I want 00:56:04.920 --> 00:56:09.480 Um, no offense. No offense. And for me, it's been fine 00:56:10.280 --> 00:56:15.240 But it is been like oh, okay. I have to like go get something for screenshots 00:56:15.960 --> 00:56:22.760 All right Like there's been stuff like that and it's been easy to do so. I like you you're talking about how you haven't been using like 00:56:22.920 --> 00:56:28.200 Thank you. I like you too You're talking about how you haven't been using the like forums much and stuff 00:56:28.680 --> 00:56:31.640 Um, yeah, I've been kind of avoiding them as well 00:56:32.280 --> 00:56:36.920 Uh me too, but I've been mostly avoiding them the level one text forum is is permanently based 00:56:37.080 --> 00:56:41.320 But a lot of the other ones like honestly, I just don't need that much negativity 00:56:41.480 --> 00:56:45.160 You get you get like a a simple question and then it's just 00:56:46.040 --> 00:56:49.560 20 pages of people screaming at each other for like often 00:56:51.080 --> 00:56:56.520 Completely unrelated reasons. It's wild. Um, it's it's honestly just kind of terrible, but 00:56:57.480 --> 00:57:03.880 Um level one text forum has been awesome and holy wars are bad and the collateral damage is not worth it 00:57:04.440 --> 00:57:07.480 And you were talking about how like the flavor of the month distros thing 00:57:07.800 --> 00:57:11.080 One thing I will give cashy as much as I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to 00:57:11.560 --> 00:57:16.520 To new Linux users so much at least in my experience. Um, is their wiki is 00:57:17.240 --> 00:57:23.480 Awesome, if you're willing to kind of like pour through a wiki a bit. I I could actually totally see new users using cashy 00:57:24.360 --> 00:57:27.240 They have like this software list thing where it's like 00:57:27.640 --> 00:57:33.560 Oh, here's a a ton of different things you might need to do on your computer and here's recommended software that you can use on cashy 00:57:33.960 --> 00:57:37.960 Um, and here's the like package name so you can stall it super easy stuff like that 00:57:38.440 --> 00:57:45.640 Um, but yeah, their wiki is sweet. Their documentation is really good. Um, so I've often I've I've kind of defaulted to just like 00:57:45.720 --> 00:57:49.000 I'm not actually going to look up What people are saying 00:57:49.000 --> 00:57:54.920 I'm just going to look up the wiki and just find the information already there and grab that. Um 00:57:56.840 --> 00:58:00.360 Yeah Yeah 00:58:00.360 --> 00:58:05.800 It's been uh, it's been pretty good. I will say the the mint experience has been more comfortable isn't safe 00:58:06.680 --> 00:58:11.880 No, nowhere is I think like toxicity. Yeah, I actually think it's just nowhere tinkered with Windows 00:58:12.360 --> 00:58:14.760 Especially when he had learned pc stop lying 00:58:15.480 --> 00:58:21.960 Nobody said that nobody said anything about that. It's just it's honestly like it sucks. I honestly 00:58:22.040 --> 00:58:26.520 I think it I think it might be worse Than the first time we did this 00:58:26.520 --> 00:58:28.680 Um, which I find interesting. I was 00:58:29.720 --> 00:58:36.440 I was expecting it to be better after that. Yeah, me too. Like I it seemed like after the initial 00:58:37.800 --> 00:58:40.300 Very strong reaction 00:58:41.020 --> 00:58:45.100 Um last time around It seemed like they 00:58:45.580 --> 00:58:50.060 A lot of people stopped blaming the user quite as much when they realized. Oh wait 00:58:50.780 --> 00:58:56.540 That was a really bad bug that caused that Oh wait, a lot of this feedback is really valuable 00:58:56.620 --> 00:59:02.300 We actually have a couple of people who between them had at the time probably about 00:59:02.780 --> 00:59:05.820 30 years of experience testing tech products 00:59:06.380 --> 00:59:08.540 doing free qa like 00:59:09.420 --> 00:59:13.580 Maybe this is valuable what's going on right now and a lot of stuff 00:59:14.620 --> 00:59:21.020 On the developer side Got fixed after we flagged I will say we had issues with it 00:59:21.100 --> 00:59:28.140 Linux the experience of using Linux again itself both mint and cachey has actually been really cool the the 00:59:29.420 --> 00:59:33.020 The improvements over the last what four Years 00:59:33.020 --> 00:59:37.500 Has been yeah, it's been a while that's been one of the really cool things about using mint on my laptop too is 00:59:38.140 --> 00:59:44.860 As much as I'm playing around with cachey I get to experience the thing that I did last time too and seeing the gap like mint has come 00:59:45.420 --> 00:59:50.300 Really far people people trash on mint for not getting as many updates because it's an lts thing and all that kind of stuff 00:59:50.700 --> 00:59:53.420 um, there's other parts of that as well, but it has 00:59:54.300 --> 00:59:57.740 Be gotten a lot better actually and I I kind of liked it last time 01:00:05.340 --> 01:00:08.780 Since last time we did this challenge, but the community just 01:00:10.140 --> 01:00:16.860 Ah guys the memes aren't cool like it's actually just sucks. It's very it's very uh acidic 01:00:16.940 --> 01:00:20.060 I don't want to go near it too much and again. There are havens 01:00:20.940 --> 01:00:28.300 For like the fourth time or something the level one text forum is awesome. Um, that that cachey wiki is freaking fantastic 01:00:28.700 --> 01:00:32.140 Um, there are places where you can have really good interactions 01:00:32.620 --> 01:00:36.460 Um, but man, there is just so much prickly 01:00:38.380 --> 01:00:41.340 I don't know it's very like holier than thou mentality 01:00:41.820 --> 01:00:47.020 Um, I must be right about my opinion that multiple people could be right about situation 01:00:47.420 --> 01:00:52.860 So this is really important. Um, our on my float playing commenter is still upset 01:00:53.500 --> 01:01:00.700 Basically going you hold Linux to a bar and then flame it. That's how it feels and it's like 01:01:02.300 --> 01:01:06.300 Yeah, it's all about the perspective when you hear me talk about 01:01:06.940 --> 01:01:10.860 Linux in general open source in general, you'll hear me be extremely 01:01:11.740 --> 01:01:21.260 Uh, you'll hear me praise it like very very strongly because the concept is incredible world changing is is not an overstatement, right? 01:01:21.740 --> 01:01:27.260 Uh, the free open source software is is is like, you know, youtube 01:01:27.660 --> 01:01:32.780 Yeah, I I would I would say as a wonder of the world is is incredible as something we've never had before and yeah 01:01:33.260 --> 01:01:38.460 May never see again if somehow we we lose what we have now this amazing thing 01:01:38.860 --> 01:01:41.500 And and part of what's amazing about it is that it shouldn't be lost 01:01:41.900 --> 01:01:45.420 It it doesn't seem like it it it's possible for it to be lost 01:01:45.580 --> 01:01:48.940 But we should never take that for granted either. That's all i'm trying to say 01:01:49.500 --> 01:01:54.620 Um, so from that perspective, you know, i'm very positive very bullish 01:01:55.020 --> 01:02:01.660 I mean you've heard me many times publicly talk about how the year the Linux desktop is coming. I think steam os could be the one 01:02:03.100 --> 01:02:10.780 However When I am approaching something from the perspective of an individual user who's trying to get something done 01:02:11.500 --> 01:02:15.500 You're just gonna have to put the emotions aside because 01:02:15.500 --> 01:02:20.060 And so am I If I go and I click run this software 01:02:20.700 --> 01:02:25.740 And it doesn't or it has me Dunking around in the terminal a bunch 01:02:26.220 --> 01:02:31.180 Then i'm gonna have to just give you a reality bomb that most people don't want to do that 01:02:31.500 --> 01:02:37.420 And that's a terrible user experience and when I show up on a forum talking about that terrible user experience 01:02:37.820 --> 01:02:41.180 And you get emotional like you're getting emotional right now 01:02:41.660 --> 01:02:48.300 And you make it that you know, i'm attacking this thing that is precious to you instead of just going, okay 01:02:49.260 --> 01:02:52.380 Maybe this thing I love isn't perfect and could be better 01:02:53.180 --> 01:02:56.780 That's destructive That actually works against 01:02:57.020 --> 01:03:02.460 Um, what we're all trying to do and what I am rooting for which is year of the Linux desktop 01:03:03.020 --> 01:03:09.420 But these different perspectives matter and these different framings matter Linux challenge is not about do I love 01:03:10.140 --> 01:03:14.780 Open source software and do I support it? It's about hey as a gamer 01:03:15.180 --> 01:03:18.860 How actually usable is this day to day and how much work do I have to put into it? 01:03:19.500 --> 01:03:21.820 Am I it's also not a am I substituting? 01:03:23.500 --> 01:03:29.100 Go ahead. It's also not a Linux sales pitch. Um, like I I've I've seen some 01:03:32.220 --> 01:03:35.500 Yeah, I've seen some people like upset that the negativity exists 01:03:35.500 --> 01:03:38.220 I've seen some people upset that Linus is trying to 01:03:39.020 --> 01:03:43.180 interact with things in the way that a normal user might and stuff and it's like guys what like what 01:03:44.140 --> 01:03:54.140 I I switch to Linux videos on youtube. There's so many people have figured out that this format kind of works and people click on it 01:03:54.620 --> 01:03:59.500 Uh Cool sounds great. This is our angle. Everyone's gonna have their own 01:03:59.980 --> 01:04:04.780 um Yeah, it's 01:04:05.980 --> 01:04:08.700 It's it's interesting, but like it's 01:04:09.660 --> 01:04:12.460 It is a problem that the community is so toxic being 01:04:13.260 --> 01:04:16.940 Honestly being too being too positive about something 01:04:17.420 --> 01:04:23.420 I think can can be equally destructive to it if you misrepresent something big 01:04:23.740 --> 01:04:32.540 I mean think about it if you're shopping for a car Okay, and you walk into the dealership and they tell you it gets a thousand miles to the gallon 01:04:33.020 --> 01:04:41.020 and the paint Never peels it never needs to be washed and the second, you know a woman sees you in it 01:04:41.020 --> 01:04:47.340 She will be drawn to you magnetically and you buy this thing and it turns out it's just a car 01:04:48.700 --> 01:04:53.420 You're gonna be disappointed because the framing of it was totally wrong and you lose trust 01:04:55.020 --> 01:04:59.020 Exactly and and and you might never buy a car from that brand again 01:04:59.660 --> 01:05:02.700 That's why I think it is so important to just 01:05:03.500 --> 01:05:11.180 take off the makeup And be realistic about what this is like and what the problems are and if I find a problem 01:05:11.500 --> 01:05:14.940 If a problem that I find is that hey this os that 01:05:15.900 --> 01:05:22.300 Everyone knows is bad Still gets recommended a lot by tools like google search 01:05:23.020 --> 01:05:28.140 And like chat gpt that you don't have to like it, but you do have to just 01:05:28.860 --> 01:05:32.220 Kind of deal with it that basically everyone uses 01:05:33.180 --> 01:05:35.980 Then don't be mad at me. I'm just the messenger 01:05:36.860 --> 01:05:41.420 solve the problem If that's what you're passionate about this is off topic solve the problem 01:05:41.580 --> 01:05:45.020 But you said steam os could be the one for you're the Linux desktop 01:05:47.340 --> 01:05:51.580 I don't think it's going to be I don't think it's going to be probably ever 01:05:52.140 --> 01:05:57.660 Um, I don't think valve is going to want to support the non gaming aspects of it 01:05:58.620 --> 01:06:02.220 But that's one of the reasons why I've been playing around in like arch 01:06:02.700 --> 01:06:08.700 land And like playing around with a couple different distros and stuff like that is because my current 01:06:09.500 --> 01:06:15.580 Extremely ignorant vibe check is like maybe the path that they're on is going to get a lot of support 01:06:16.220 --> 01:06:19.980 And I've been kind of seeing that with cashy os and like these different types of things 01:06:20.460 --> 01:06:24.140 Um, I don't think if we went back four years ago 01:06:24.860 --> 01:06:27.900 And I'm probably wrong about this in some way 01:06:30.060 --> 01:06:37.980 Manjaro you have a button for that manjaro was arch based. Isn't that right? Is manjaro arch based? No, I don't think so 01:06:41.180 --> 01:06:47.900 Yes, manjaro is arch based Yeah, oh, okay. Um, yep. Thank you. So that that was like a round 01:06:48.620 --> 01:06:53.260 But that was if I You ended up using that, right? 01:06:53.420 --> 01:06:57.340 Yeah, I did. I used manjaro. I forget why I decided to use manjaro, but I 01:06:57.740 --> 01:07:02.140 Ultimately settled on it. So I think that was like, yeah, no, no, okay. Yeah, it's because it's easy arch 01:07:02.780 --> 01:07:05.580 Yeah, or it was yeah, I don't know might still be 01:07:05.980 --> 01:07:12.060 Um, but I I think that was like just kind of starting to become a thing as like that could maybe be used for gaming 01:07:12.300 --> 01:07:17.100 But arch was always just the big spooky side of things Uh, people didn't really want to touch it. I remember 01:07:17.660 --> 01:07:23.900 um People you started talking about the a u r around that time and like it started becoming a little bit more approachable 01:07:24.220 --> 01:07:27.420 And there was manjaro and a couple things like that and these days now it's like 01:07:27.660 --> 01:07:31.500 Oh, it's the gaming thing and cash us is over there and oh steam steam 01:07:32.060 --> 01:07:35.420 Os is built on this thing and gaming focus gaming focus gaming focus 01:07:35.980 --> 01:07:39.340 And I think the other things will kind of follow and I think something in that realm 01:07:40.140 --> 01:07:43.420 Might make it which is why I'm trying to familiarize myself with those things 01:07:43.900 --> 01:07:46.860 Uh instead of just sitting in my comfortable mint 01:07:47.340 --> 01:07:55.660 land forever So the reason the reason I think it's going to be steam os is because um, I 01:07:56.540 --> 01:08:05.340 I believe At this point, um, and I I've just I've seen too much in our in our last Linux challenges and just with 01:08:06.060 --> 01:08:09.180 The the development of open source software in general 01:08:09.820 --> 01:08:14.940 Um, I believe you need a vision for something like an operating system 01:08:15.020 --> 01:08:19.980 I think you need a really strong direction 01:08:20.220 --> 01:08:22.700 And steam os has it and while I do 01:08:23.420 --> 01:08:28.540 absolutely See your point that with their focus on ultimately like let's 01:08:29.260 --> 01:08:32.300 Let's not kid ourselves selling more 01:08:32.300 --> 01:08:38.140 Counter strike gun skins, right? Yeah Like, you know what drives valve at the end of the day 01:08:38.620 --> 01:08:44.540 Um, I can see how you might not have faith that they're going to put the time in the work 01:08:45.180 --> 01:08:50.140 into The other aspects of of the desktop experience 01:08:51.340 --> 01:09:01.340 From talking to the folks there From seeing the direction that they're going from the steam deck, right, which is handheld only it's it's big picture only, right? 01:09:02.460 --> 01:09:05.260 And seeing how much they wanted to talk about 01:09:05.820 --> 01:09:12.220 How much they've improved the desktop experience with the steam machine the fact that one of their demos 01:09:12.940 --> 01:09:18.140 Was with a desktop monitor and the steam machine running in desktop mode 01:09:18.620 --> 01:09:27.420 Um, the fact that like, uh, it was a while back We were trying to get this ancient printer working for a video and that was when I realized that steam os had no 01:09:28.220 --> 01:09:33.420 Built-in support for printers of any sort you had to basically like clutch it in yourself 01:09:33.980 --> 01:09:38.540 Um, since then I believe they do support printers now 01:09:39.260 --> 01:09:43.180 And there would be no do you want to double can can someone double check that for me? 01:09:43.180 --> 01:09:47.180 I'm gonna need a luke. I don't know here, but I I believe that is a thing now 01:09:48.780 --> 01:09:52.540 There is no reason to support 01:09:52.540 --> 01:10:01.340 printers and and the printing stack Out of the box if you don't freaking intend for this to be a desktop operating system 01:10:01.980 --> 01:10:05.420 so to me The the vision that I see 01:10:05.820 --> 01:10:12.300 And the direction that they're going are the strongest and the most cohesive 01:10:13.340 --> 01:10:17.020 And I just don't know. Yes printer support added in steam os 3.6 01:10:18.540 --> 01:10:20.540 And I just 01:10:22.620 --> 01:10:27.660 I see how much money they're putting into making the experience better for gamers 01:10:27.740 --> 01:10:33.260 And I know that gamers are just one specific use case, but they also are a use case that 01:10:33.260 --> 01:10:40.620 Demands high performance that that that tends to be micro influencers 01:10:41.180 --> 01:10:46.940 For their friend groups around them, and I just I see momentum building that way and I I saw a couple comments in the chat 01:10:46.940 --> 01:10:54.220 Yeah, but it's AMD only Valve would love for steam os to be super NVIDIA friendly tomorrow 01:10:55.020 --> 01:11:00.060 but From and this is me putting words in their mouth. No one from valve has told me this 01:11:00.860 --> 01:11:05.740 Any of this I'm I'm assuming that they would love for steam os to be NVIDIA friendly 01:11:05.900 --> 01:11:09.660 And what I'm basing that on is that the original steam machines 10 years ago 01:11:10.300 --> 01:11:14.300 Used invidia cards valve clearly wanted to use invidia at some point 01:11:15.100 --> 01:11:22.620 um But from what I can tell it basically just comes down to vendor cooperation and vendor software support 01:11:23.020 --> 01:11:30.300 Something that torval's mentioned has gotten way better from invidia now that Linux and ai 01:11:31.100 --> 01:11:38.700 and invidia All have a common direction that they're trying to go. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Will the gaming hardware follow? 01:11:40.140 --> 01:11:44.220 Yeah, I uh I think it I think it will 01:11:44.700 --> 01:11:50.220 um There's also man There's also like bigger industry trends that we can look at and go okay 01:11:50.220 --> 01:11:54.940 Well does invidia matter that much you could look at their their gaming discrete GPU market share 01:11:55.020 --> 01:12:00.940 What is it 95 percent in the most recent report and go? Yeah. Yeah, it's the only thing that matters 01:12:01.660 --> 01:12:05.660 But like the laptop that i'm running on right now this machine 01:12:06.300 --> 01:12:10.220 Does not have a dedicated GPU and I don't care 01:12:11.420 --> 01:12:16.780 at all Even a little bit i'm using an apu 01:12:17.500 --> 01:12:23.180 But with the performance of the AMD Radeon 80 60 s or whatever the model is graphics in this thing 01:12:24.300 --> 01:12:31.260 I don't care So yeah, if AMD's market share continues to absolutely suck donk on 01:12:31.900 --> 01:12:39.660 discreet But their apu's continue to go the direction that they're going right now where they own the business of sony playstation 01:12:40.140 --> 01:12:43.900 Own the business of microsoft xbox, whatever form that ultimately ends up taking 01:12:44.540 --> 01:12:47.820 Pretty much own the entire gaming handheld space 01:12:48.780 --> 01:12:52.540 and Are shipping these incredible high power GPU 01:12:53.180 --> 01:12:59.020 apu's that are going to start to dominate in laptops or even small form factor desktops like the framework desktop 01:12:59.580 --> 01:13:05.580 investment disclosure I don't know man. Maybe that whole thing that 01:13:06.540 --> 01:13:12.300 I remember AMD first talking about with fusion back shortly after the ati acquisition 01:13:12.620 --> 01:13:16.700 Maybe that whole thing where desktop computers don't need to discreet GPU 01:13:17.500 --> 01:13:19.900 Like becomes a thing gross 01:13:21.580 --> 01:13:27.420 Gross I know you might be right. I know it's still gross though and yet 01:13:28.300 --> 01:13:32.620 And yet I was playing god of war And it was freaking awesome 01:13:32.780 --> 01:13:37.660 On what as a high powered solution. Yes very expensive right now 01:13:37.660 --> 01:13:45.420 But I remind everyone is an integrated GPU icky. What icky integrated graphics dude 01:13:46.780 --> 01:13:48.780 gross 01:13:49.900 --> 01:13:57.180 And yet here we are though No, I hear you I hear you I can accept the reality and still be disgusted by it. There's a lot of that lately 01:13:57.660 --> 01:14:00.780 um Person for sure says I don't want soldered on RAM 01:14:01.180 --> 01:14:07.500 But guess what buddy you already have soldered on RAM the RAM on your GPU is soldered because it needs to run at super high speeds 01:14:07.980 --> 01:14:15.420 We're just using our GPU RAM as also system memory nothing changed just your your perception changed your your perspective changed 01:14:17.260 --> 01:14:21.260 Yeah, that that computer that you stick into your computer that is the graphics card 01:14:22.780 --> 01:14:24.780 That always like really fascinates me 01:14:25.900 --> 01:14:33.740 It really is it's a whole own computer Like if you look at if you look at if you if you really like analyze a whole 01:14:34.460 --> 01:14:38.140 graphics card It has the whole everything 01:14:38.700 --> 01:14:47.340 has everything Everything buddy and like especially the professional grade ones that can do you know virtualization and stuff and that happen and 01:14:47.820 --> 01:14:56.460 that It's Yeah, it's just a computer in your computer. Yeah, it's funny because like in some ways Intel lara b was 01:14:57.340 --> 01:15:05.260 So far ahead of the curve on that where it was general purpose compute that was just hyper hyper parallel and could also be used for graphics 01:15:06.060 --> 01:15:10.540 And it was just a computer But yeah, so much so much for lara b. Yeah 01:15:11.500 --> 01:15:14.380 Have we actually done any topics yet? 01:15:14.780 --> 01:15:20.300 I don't think so this could transfer us into a weird jump if we wanted to to the 01:15:21.260 --> 01:15:25.900 3060 news Oh here here's a good one. Hold on last thing 01:15:26.620 --> 01:15:34.780 On a hiccadge says fun fact The basite devs just updated the website to make the warning for the NVIDIA deck iso 01:15:35.020 --> 01:15:38.780 Which is broken More obnoxious and clearly stated 01:15:39.420 --> 01:15:41.980 Linus's experience has already made Linux better 01:15:42.700 --> 01:15:50.460 I think that's the thing The community zealots are mad the developers if they're smart are looking at this going 01:15:51.100 --> 01:15:53.260 This is free qa. Holy crap 01:15:54.380 --> 01:16:01.500 We should action this so shout out basite for recognizing it for what it is calling something beta in this day and age 01:16:01.500 --> 01:16:06.220 I mean gmail was beta for 10 years calling something beta doesn't mean what it used to 01:16:06.940 --> 01:16:13.580 And honestly the experience that I had on that particular iso for basite was not even the old definition of beta 01:16:13.660 --> 01:16:18.300 That was like alpha or pre alpha. It was completely broken just completely broken 01:16:19.500 --> 01:16:23.660 so I don't know dude 01:16:24.860 --> 01:16:29.820 Yeah, um Where is it? 01:16:30.060 --> 01:16:34.220 Back then it was beta mail now. It's gmail. Thank you chat. You guys are great 01:16:37.260 --> 01:16:41.420 Top okay, here we go This is a potentially short topic, but I did want to transition to it 01:16:41.420 --> 01:16:48.940 Just because we're talking about like what GPU's people are actually using and stuff like that And then we then we can go to what Dan was talking about but NVIDIA reportedly brings back 01:16:49.900 --> 01:16:56.700 production Of the rtx 30 60 to samsung 8 nanometer production samsung is restarting 01:16:56.940 --> 01:17:03.260 Production of their 30 60s discontinued in 2024 on its 8 nanometer node according to korean outlet 01:17:04.380 --> 01:17:11.580 Hank young I'm just going to confidently say that and we'll see how it goes in videos rtx 40 and 50 series 01:17:12.140 --> 01:17:18.220 Both both both run on tsmc's custom 4 nanometer node a 5 nanometer class process 01:17:18.860 --> 01:17:21.580 Because it's all just naming at this point 01:17:22.540 --> 01:17:25.580 That's maxed out producing blackwell gaming and ai chips 01:17:25.900 --> 01:17:30.700 So the old samsung 8 nanometer line can run without cutting into next gen supply 01:17:31.020 --> 01:17:37.820 The move is being driven by a few things at once a GDDR 7 memory shortage is squeezing rtx 50 series supply 01:17:38.060 --> 01:17:42.540 And NVIDIA's high-end ai chips face an uncertain and shifting regulatory 01:17:43.100 --> 01:17:48.940 congressional restrictions in terms of shipping to china and doing all this weird stuff the older rtx 01:17:49.740 --> 01:17:51.740 30 60 side steps 01:17:53.100 --> 01:17:57.660 Pretty much all of that Since it falls outside of the restricted categories entirely 01:17:57.820 --> 01:18:04.460 It's still unclear whether the returning card will be on the 12 gig original or the cut down 8 gig variant 01:18:04.860 --> 01:18:09.980 But one of the really really cool side effects of this is people who currently have 01:18:10.380 --> 01:18:17.420 A 30 60 or potentially just 3000 series GPU in general will probably have elongated driver support because of this 01:18:17.740 --> 01:18:20.540 Which is really cool because those cards 01:18:21.740 --> 01:18:28.380 Still kind of ripped still pretty based. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, so like if you're still running at 30 60 because hey, why not? 01:18:29.820 --> 01:18:34.860 I mean, there's a ton of people still asking for a few more years out of their 1080s and 1080 ti's 01:18:35.740 --> 01:18:38.380 So i'm sure there's a ton of people still running 30 60s 01:18:39.740 --> 01:18:46.300 Then sick you're gonna have a lot more driver support. There's so many games coming out that really don't need much more power 01:18:47.420 --> 01:18:50.620 I'm sure 30 60s run something like arc raiders. No problem 01:18:51.820 --> 01:18:59.100 With that said If some of the rumors that i've seen about the next generation xbox or anything to go by and also the playstation 6 01:18:59.740 --> 01:19:02.780 Don't forget that we're at the end of a cycle right now 01:19:03.340 --> 01:19:09.740 We're at the end of a console cycle and there's always a leap once the dev kits for ps6 and xbox 01:19:09.820 --> 01:19:16.140 Whatever they end up calling it start to roll out to developers. We are going to start to see next generation games 01:19:16.620 --> 01:19:23.820 Hit development We're also going to continue to see live service games that continually get their graphics updated like wow 01:19:24.460 --> 01:19:32.380 Um that are gonna keep moving forward And so we shouldn't get we shouldn't necessarily go. Okay. Well, you know a 30 60 ought to be enough for everyone kind of thing 01:19:33.980 --> 01:19:40.460 But right now I 100 percent agree. I was actually I was gaming on a 30 60 recently for some reason. What was it? 01:19:41.420 --> 01:19:45.420 Oh, right. I remember we did um the brazilian pc 01:19:45.660 --> 01:19:49.900 Right, that's I I think actually up on Floatplane right now. You guys can watch it 01:19:50.380 --> 01:19:53.500 um We ordered PCs from brazil 01:19:53.660 --> 01:20:00.460 Which tends to be a couple of generations behind because it turns out that import tariffs are actually a really great 01:20:00.700 --> 01:20:06.780 Way to make everything way more expensive for people who want to buy stuff. That's not a political statement. That's just math 01:20:07.260 --> 01:20:16.620 Um and math is math. I don't make the rules about it So so we did the brazil pc and I was gaming on a 30 60 and I was playing freaking cyberpunk and I was like 01:20:17.660 --> 01:20:23.980 Holy crap. Is dlss ever like good these days and I'm having a pretty darn good experience right now 01:20:24.700 --> 01:20:28.140 like What? Yeah 01:20:28.140 --> 01:20:33.500 30 60 is still a pretty freaking awesome. It's a sick car. So if we're gonna get more driver support out of this 01:20:33.580 --> 01:20:36.700 That's just like I didn't even really think immediately about like 01:20:37.660 --> 01:20:40.540 What I would call like a restricted market like brazil kind of is 01:20:41.020 --> 01:20:45.420 Um where this is going to help them even more and that's awesome. Um 01:20:46.540 --> 01:20:50.780 Yeah, so I just thought this was honestly kind of it's it's 01:20:51.900 --> 01:20:56.540 I could see people taking this negative news I'm just going to decide to take it as good news because hey 01:20:56.620 --> 01:21:01.100 We could use one of those and I like the idea of the driver support extending, but yeah 01:21:01.340 --> 01:21:05.260 I think this is great news. Is that a controversial take? 01:21:05.660 --> 01:21:12.460 No, I just I'm just kind of sitting here thinking like someone might see it as negative because this means that they're not necessarily 01:21:12.540 --> 01:21:18.940 increasing Like they're not increasing capacity and getting out more like 50 series cards 01:21:19.820 --> 01:21:23.340 Uh, which means that they'll be maintaining the price of those cards 01:21:24.540 --> 01:21:26.700 I've wondered for years now why 01:21:27.660 --> 01:21:33.340 The the low end one isn't just the last gen one and for a long time that wasn't feasible 01:21:33.660 --> 01:21:41.020 Because the old nodes The gp the dies would be so big that the cost just doesn't make any sense 01:21:41.500 --> 01:21:49.500 But for years now you've had everyone Intel NVIDIA AMD talking about how well the new product is just more expensive 01:21:49.580 --> 01:21:52.860 Because yes, we can make a better one because of the die shrink 01:21:52.940 --> 01:21:58.540 But but it costs so much more to manufacture that there isn't really like a cost benefit and I was like, okay 01:21:59.260 --> 01:22:05.660 Well, then why don't you just make You know bigger bigger dies on the older node of your last gen card and just keep printing them 01:22:05.660 --> 01:22:08.380 And that can be your low end like I'm I'm super like dude 01:22:09.260 --> 01:22:13.260 If NVIDIA wanted to make more than just 30 60s if they wanted to make 30 70s 01:22:13.260 --> 01:22:15.660 I'd be super down for that too. Bring it bring it on like 01:22:16.380 --> 01:22:19.500 What is the AI card a lot of people try to go for 30 90s 01:22:21.020 --> 01:22:26.060 Oh, yeah, people still love 30 90s 24 gigs that wouldn't make any sense though 01:22:26.060 --> 01:22:29.020 Just because of how much RAM you're putting I know and 01:22:29.900 --> 01:22:36.700 It's just too much GPU To make for how much RAM you have to put on it for how much performance and how much power consumption you're gonna get 01:22:36.940 --> 01:22:40.540 Yeah, and again, I've got I've got people in chat yelling at me. I'm not saying 01:22:41.500 --> 01:22:47.100 Relax, I'm not saying I think it's negative news. I said repeatedly that I think it's positive news 01:22:47.500 --> 01:22:51.580 I was just saying that some people might think I'm getting I'm getting that angle right now 01:22:52.380 --> 01:22:55.100 It's a tube of meat. It's seasoned 01:22:55.740 --> 01:23:00.460 I prefer on the grill and I prefer flat meat comes off delicious. I'm gonna come out saying I prefer flat meat 01:23:01.660 --> 01:23:06.380 So much colon cancer, but that's later. My meat should be flat and circular 01:23:07.500 --> 01:23:09.500 So not health advice not health advice 01:23:13.180 --> 01:23:15.180 Really 01:23:16.220 --> 01:23:19.820 Okay more information than I wanted 01:23:22.460 --> 01:23:29.260 Ah I was just saying like a shift of direction. I know it's a different process node. I know it's different 01:23:29.660 --> 01:23:34.140 Manufacturing I know it's going back to Samsung. It's not using the five nanometer. We literally just talked about that 01:23:34.140 --> 01:23:41.580 I know that's a thing. It's like attention pulling away. It's not potentially increasing whatever bubble, but it's still like 01:23:42.700 --> 01:23:49.020 It's not an argument. I even agree with I was just saying that I could see some people trying to take that angle. Okay, so chill 01:23:49.980 --> 01:23:54.780 The circular meat is fine Tube tube meat is fine 01:23:56.140 --> 01:24:03.260 Anyways Dan CW things or something give me out of here. Uh, yeah, you've blown blast more topics you've blown blast comms 01:24:03.260 --> 01:24:06.860 Why don't we do the CW announcement and a couple comms? 01:24:08.540 --> 01:24:15.900 All right, hey Creator warehouses ambitions of being more than just the you know 01:24:16.700 --> 01:24:19.500 merchandise ARM of Linus media group are 01:24:20.060 --> 01:24:26.300 Coming to fruition here L's and G's because the blanks collection is expanding 01:24:26.860 --> 01:24:31.660 Luke if anyone's gonna screen share it's gonna have to be it's up way ahead of you. What a guy 01:24:32.380 --> 01:24:41.820 What a freaking guy We are now showing off our blank zip-up hoodie, which is designed for easy layering while keeping that clean 01:24:42.540 --> 01:24:48.620 Minimal look it's available in black and dusty olive and is made from the same 100 01:24:49.260 --> 01:24:57.660 Terry cotton as our classic blank hoodies and we're also introducing a blank hoodie that is not zip-up in dusty olive 01:24:58.220 --> 01:25:04.140 You can complete the set with our new blank sweatpants available in also black and dusty olive 01:25:04.140 --> 01:25:06.860 These are great for lounging the gym or quick errands 01:25:07.180 --> 01:25:12.700 And they match nicely with our other tops and hoodies even older colors that you might already have 01:25:13.100 --> 01:25:17.020 Visit LMG.gg slash blanks to shop the collection 01:25:17.340 --> 01:25:22.940 And hey if you happen to be another creator who has some kind of interest in working with us 01:25:23.260 --> 01:25:27.740 But you're not that interested in having LTT branding all over the stuff that you have 01:25:28.780 --> 01:25:33.660 You know, hey there. What about what about creator warehouse branding that seems perfectly 01:25:35.100 --> 01:25:37.100 Not LTT 01:25:39.900 --> 01:25:44.620 Nice Dig dug says blank is pointless 01:25:45.500 --> 01:25:50.140 I mean I prefer it a lot actually and like lots of people do there's tons of people that don't want to wear 01:25:51.020 --> 01:25:55.500 Brand logos and like I I think our brand logos are subtle enough that it's totally fine 01:25:55.500 --> 01:25:58.700 And there's sometimes where I do kind of like brand logos. I don't know I go back and forth 01:25:58.700 --> 01:26:06.940 But this looks kind of sharp to me. It's subtle. It's understated. It looks nice. It works. It works good. I've I've had 01:26:07.660 --> 01:26:11.100 Multiple people tell me and this blew my flipping mind 01:26:11.100 --> 01:26:16.700 I've had multiple people tell me that they would buy the commuter bag if only it didn't have the LTT branding on it 01:26:17.180 --> 01:26:21.020 Can you just I was like De-stitcher that bro 01:26:21.740 --> 01:26:25.180 It's one centimeter by one centimeter black on black 01:26:25.980 --> 01:26:29.820 What are you even talking about? But there are people who are so 01:26:30.860 --> 01:26:32.860 Um, how do I put this? 01:26:34.300 --> 01:26:39.420 Uh Very set on a particular 01:26:40.940 --> 01:26:47.020 Mindset goal That they just so many full plane chat said you cannot free your point is mute 01:26:47.100 --> 01:26:51.020 Yeah, except I've bought blanks that weren't from us before so my point is not mute 01:26:51.420 --> 01:26:56.300 Um, it is it is generally good. Oh, I'm so triggered right now even if someone M. O. O. T 01:26:57.100 --> 01:27:01.740 M. O. O. T. Moot not mute M. U. T. E. Yeah, no idea. Um 01:27:03.100 --> 01:27:06.700 I uh As someone who isn't even that good at fashion stuff 01:27:08.060 --> 01:27:15.420 At all Not even sort of nice something that the people who are good at the fashion stuff have told me is that I should have more blank things 01:27:15.660 --> 01:27:23.260 Because I always just had like Uh convention shirts. Oh god, basically I had 100 of my wardrobe for a long years 01:27:23.820 --> 01:27:26.780 Was convention shirts and then fashion people were like, hey 01:27:27.660 --> 01:27:31.580 You should probably just have like a plain white T and a plain black T 01:27:32.060 --> 01:27:37.980 And like a couple other colors and then those can go with whatever and then you'd look a lot more presentable in a lot more scenarios 01:27:38.060 --> 01:27:42.060 and I was like Oh 01:27:42.060 --> 01:27:44.060 That that was like part of growing up 01:27:45.500 --> 01:27:51.500 It was like I'm an adult now. I need to not have like the equivalent of band shirts, but for technology or games 01:27:51.900 --> 01:27:57.420 Um And like those are still cool. I still wear those but there's time and place for things 01:27:58.620 --> 01:28:02.860 And sometimes it's not up to people. Uh brumby in Floatplane chat says yeah 01:28:02.860 --> 01:28:06.700 I had to unstitch the logos off of my LTT cargo pants in order to meet work policies 01:28:07.180 --> 01:28:11.180 Sometimes you're you're not allowed to wear stuff. Um 01:28:12.300 --> 01:28:14.300 Totally get it 01:28:15.420 --> 01:28:19.980 And look, I totally understand the perspective too of uh, uh, who is it? 01:28:20.540 --> 01:28:24.460 Book horse says don't want to be a walking advertisement. Don't want to be a consumer 01:28:25.660 --> 01:28:28.140 And totally get that too. Um 01:28:28.940 --> 01:28:37.340 But I don't I don't personally consider A one centimeter by one centimeter black on black logo on an entire backpack to be 01:28:38.460 --> 01:28:41.660 Consumer level branding walking advertisement. That's 01:28:42.620 --> 01:28:46.780 Like come on. What do you even what are you what are you even talking about buddy? 01:28:47.420 --> 01:28:55.100 like I I don't know man But either way either way we're we're doing our you know, we're doing our part 01:28:55.100 --> 01:29:00.140 We're making unbranded stuff. So now all you have to do is do your part and buy it and then we can keep making it 01:29:01.500 --> 01:29:08.220 Yeah, and if you don't want a blank tease that's totally fine. I didn't want blank teas for a long time 01:29:08.460 --> 01:29:12.460 It's but they obviously very obviously have a utility 01:29:17.420 --> 01:29:19.420 Hold on I have an idea 01:29:20.860 --> 01:29:25.660 What are you doing now? What are you doing now? Yeah, that's your shirt 01:29:27.420 --> 01:29:31.500 Spanky says I'd love creator warehouse to offer some self branding stuff 01:29:31.580 --> 01:29:35.900 I'd probably buy 100 to 200 pens or pencils if I could change the logo to our companies 01:29:38.460 --> 01:29:43.740 It is the kind of thing that we could do but for 100 units that would be really tough 01:29:44.940 --> 01:29:50.620 And it all just depends on how it's done. Um, like whether it's uh, if it's a mold 01:29:51.580 --> 01:29:54.780 It's just not feasible for small amounts of units 01:29:55.180 --> 01:30:03.100 Like I think if someone ordered thousands of screwdrivers from us We could talk about changing the logo for like the plastic screwdriver for something like pens 01:30:03.180 --> 01:30:09.580 I don't want to put any words in the cw team's mouth But I think it would have to be at least hundreds before we'd be able to look at a logo change 01:30:10.140 --> 01:30:14.140 It just it depends on it depends on our suppliers. It depends on lead times 01:30:14.220 --> 01:30:18.300 It depends on, you know, how much you're willing to pay for the customization, but hey, it never hurts to reach out 01:30:18.700 --> 01:30:23.420 Sorry Luke, what were you gonna say? Uh, my google search ended up working 01:30:23.420 --> 01:30:26.300 I I tried to like pull a gambit where I googled 01:30:26.860 --> 01:30:30.140 Attractive man and then I realized that they were all wearing dress shirts 01:30:30.220 --> 01:30:36.060 And I was like that didn't work So I tried attractive man wearing a t-shirt and I wanted to be like look they're all wearing blank t-shirts 01:30:36.620 --> 01:30:41.420 Uh, and then even searching attractive man wearing a t-shirt only brought up dudes wearing 01:30:42.460 --> 01:30:46.860 Button-ups. I was like, what the hell that should tell you enough, shouldn't it? 01:30:47.820 --> 01:30:51.900 It did a little bit. I was like dang, okay, I guess Luke. We just got told 01:30:52.380 --> 01:30:54.380 I think so 01:30:55.500 --> 01:30:57.500 It didn't work at all 01:30:58.860 --> 01:31:01.980 Good thing we sell pretty brandless button-ups 01:31:03.740 --> 01:31:07.100 I mean, maybe we did did we get rid of them? I don't know wait 01:31:07.580 --> 01:31:10.300 I got to work this time and I'm totally right. They're all 01:31:11.420 --> 01:31:16.060 They're all blank Every single one of them is blank 01:31:16.540 --> 01:31:19.180 All of them are blank. Okay. There's one 01:31:20.300 --> 01:31:24.060 One Two with upload your image here that I don't think that counts 01:31:25.260 --> 01:31:31.660 Almost all blank tees. Yep. There's a there's a few that aren't but they're almost all blank tees. So yeah 01:31:32.380 --> 01:31:36.860 What up? I don't know fashion things but fashion people told me and apparently fashion people were right 01:31:37.500 --> 01:31:40.140 Surprise surprise resale white but for shirts 01:31:40.700 --> 01:31:46.780 Okay, Dan, you're gonna have to guide us a little bit here because we're clearly not I can't see your signs 01:31:46.780 --> 01:31:48.780 I'm trying like Luke's ignoring me 01:31:50.220 --> 01:31:53.340 Cool You're gonna plug whale land or just 01:31:54.460 --> 01:31:59.740 Okay, you said it's a hell too didn't you? No. Oh, it was just me. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, let's do whale land 01:31:59.740 --> 01:32:07.980 We have We have locked in the dates for the next whale land. It's gonna be on may 23rd and 24th 01:32:08.540 --> 01:32:14.140 By oc tickets. So that is bring your own computer tickets are going to be starting at $80 canadian 01:32:14.540 --> 01:32:19.180 So what's that work out to about 60 us dollars like 55 60 us dollars? 01:32:19.660 --> 01:32:26.620 And there will be a limited number of whale vip tickets for $5,000 canadian 01:32:27.180 --> 01:32:30.620 VIPs will get obviously their ticket to the event but also 01:32:31.580 --> 01:32:37.740 A high-powered custom built gaming pc to game on a prismagic screwdriver a lightweight packable jacket a premium 01:32:38.220 --> 01:32:45.740 And a studio plus Labs tour ticket sales will start this coming monday at noon Pacific whale land dot com 01:32:46.140 --> 01:32:48.140 And we will see you there 01:32:49.740 --> 01:32:57.100 Luke how are those dates looking for you? Hopefully. Oh, yeah. No, I think so. I think I'm like just generally gonna be at whale lands 01:32:58.540 --> 01:33:02.220 May 23rd 24th may yeah when is comfy jacks? 01:33:04.380 --> 01:33:06.380 Uh not may 23rd and 24th 01:33:07.980 --> 01:33:09.980 I think it'll be shortly afterward 01:33:12.380 --> 01:33:17.340 Whoa, it's like what immediately afterward later 01:33:18.380 --> 01:33:22.380 Yeah, uh, it's all just a week later. I'll just well normally I go a week early 01:33:23.660 --> 01:33:30.460 So maybe I'll just oh, yeah. Yeah. Maybe I'll just come back a week. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's just fine. I've done that too 01:33:30.620 --> 01:33:34.540 Yeah, yeah, that's good to know though. I'm happy we just figured that out 01:33:35.100 --> 01:33:41.020 Uh, but yeah, I mean I'm intending it. Uh, I'm intending to generally be attending 01:33:42.620 --> 01:33:51.260 Yeah, all right, sounds good Yeah, let's get another topic in here another topic. Yeah, look at that Intel's new CPU's are their 01:33:51.980 --> 01:33:58.220 fastest gaming desktop processors ever and there was once upon a time a time when I would have said 01:33:58.700 --> 01:34:00.940 Wow, the new water is wetter than ever 01:34:02.300 --> 01:34:09.500 To in response to that But in fact, um Intel did have a generation of desktop CPU's that 01:34:10.300 --> 01:34:16.140 In fact were not their fastest gaming CPU's ever so we can't take that for granted 01:34:16.380 --> 01:34:18.780 So this is good news everyone 01:34:19.980 --> 01:34:25.740 Intel is super bullish on the recently announced Intel core ultra 7 270 k plus 01:34:26.300 --> 01:34:29.740 and core ultra 5 250 k plus 01:34:30.620 --> 01:34:36.700 These new chips offer four additional e-cores or efficiency cores compared to their 01:34:37.340 --> 01:34:43.100 Their direct predecessors have faster clock speeds and this has got to be a really big one here 01:34:43.340 --> 01:34:51.100 Have significantly improved die to die frequency over their predecessors the 265 k and 245 k 01:34:51.820 --> 01:34:57.820 This translates to support for 70 200 megatransfer per second RAM as if anyone can afford that these days 01:34:58.220 --> 01:35:05.820 And early support for four rank cu dim modules again as if anyone could afford those but 01:35:06.940 --> 01:35:11.180 Cool cool cool beans Intel appreciate you 01:35:11.260 --> 01:35:16.700 Notably these improvements were achieved without Intel increasing the chips 125 watt TDP 01:35:17.580 --> 01:35:24.940 The ultra 7 270 k plus features 8 p cores and 16 e-cores which actually matches the core count of the flagship 01:35:25.340 --> 01:35:27.820 core ultra 9 295 k 01:35:28.700 --> 01:35:38.460 um Okay, and it is also worth noting that while the 295 k was and in fact the whole lineup of core ultra 200 series was criticized 01:35:38.860 --> 01:35:41.740 For uncompetitive pricing and lower gaming performance 01:35:42.380 --> 01:35:44.380 Over time they have improved 01:35:45.500 --> 01:35:55.180 Pricing has gotten lower And these new refreshed aero lake CPU's are apparently looking to deliver up to a 13 gaming increase 01:35:55.580 --> 01:36:00.460 Over their predecessors while coming in at very similar pricing 01:36:00.940 --> 01:36:04.860 So the 250 k plus is going to be starting from 199 01:36:05.500 --> 01:36:13.500 With the uh 270 k plus starting from uh, this says to 199, but i believe it's 2 99. Yeah, uh, starting from 01:36:14.060 --> 01:36:18.780 2 99 so Cheap 01:36:18.780 --> 01:36:23.900 no But a 200 chip that Intel claims 01:36:24.620 --> 01:36:27.820 Is faster than the 9600 x from AMD 01:36:28.860 --> 01:36:32.460 um Comes with that many flipping cores 01:36:33.180 --> 01:36:37.260 Like yes, some of them are e-cores, but these Intel uh hybrid 01:36:37.980 --> 01:36:42.140 Uh p-core e-core chips tend to be great for non gaming as well 01:36:42.940 --> 01:36:47.820 Not to mention all of the gaming improvements Man that seems like 01:36:48.140 --> 01:36:53.500 It seems like a pretty compelling value And it's not just hardware where Intel is trying to make gains 01:36:53.980 --> 01:36:56.860 Like NVIDIA, they've realized if you can't win with better fabrication 01:36:57.180 --> 01:37:02.060 Then you can take the fight to software except NVIDIA also has been using cutting edge fabrication 01:37:02.140 --> 01:37:09.660 But yeah, whatever the point is Intel binary optimization tool will be part of their Intel application optimization software package 01:37:09.900 --> 01:37:14.380 And is touted as a first of its kind optimization technology hoping to increase 01:37:15.180 --> 01:37:22.220 Instructions per clock in certain games by leveraging Intel compiler and profiling ip to streamline library and executable performance 01:37:22.620 --> 01:37:29.580 Now i remember a time not that long ago when we considered that kind of optimization to be like cheating 01:37:30.140 --> 01:37:33.660 um, and using sort of using non-standard 01:37:34.220 --> 01:37:40.940 Uh compilers in order to get a performance benefit compared to your competition and now they're just playing the game 01:37:41.980 --> 01:37:45.500 We live in a very very different world. Um 01:37:46.060 --> 01:37:51.260 You know remember when remember when making changes to the rendering pipeline on a GPU was cheating 01:37:51.660 --> 01:37:57.260 And now that's like NVIDIA's headline feature for their latest GPU's is all the changes that they make to the rendering 01:37:57.660 --> 01:38:00.860 pipeline with ai and whatnot and 01:38:00.860 --> 01:38:09.020 honestly This implementation sounds very different from the old cheaty way where they would um allegedly 01:38:09.580 --> 01:38:17.660 Coerce companies into using their tools that benefited their cpus. It sounds like what's happening here is 01:38:18.780 --> 01:38:24.860 They're taking scattered instructions from code that might be optimized for older architectures and repacking them to reduce architectural contention 01:38:25.260 --> 01:38:35.260 and it sounds like It won't have a negative impact on the competition. It will just perform better on Intel, which maybe is better than it used to be before 01:38:38.700 --> 01:38:41.580 Anyone been around long enough to know if that sounds about right 01:38:42.220 --> 01:38:49.900 Anyway, we don't know how well it's going to work until we can try out their, uh, apo software in our upcoming review, but 01:38:50.700 --> 01:38:57.900 It seems like from everything that we're seeing communication wise out of Intel. They are extremely bullish 01:38:58.220 --> 01:39:01.500 Yeah on these which I 01:39:01.500 --> 01:39:03.500 would hope so 01:39:05.180 --> 01:39:07.740 So hopefully we're hopefully we're happy about the results 01:39:09.020 --> 01:39:17.100 You can hope but like Last time around hope didn't really get us anywhere. Hope's all we can have brother. Nothing else is worth it 01:39:17.100 --> 01:39:21.100 Yeah, nothing else is worth it despair is not worth it. It doesn't help you 01:39:22.700 --> 01:39:27.340 Anyways, uh Thank you. Do you have any supplements to sell me? 01:39:27.980 --> 01:39:35.020 Uh, yeah, I've got a lot of peptides I whatever whatever peptide you want. Tell me your problem and i'll come up with a 01:39:35.820 --> 01:39:37.820 Yeah, we should probably stop talking 01:39:39.580 --> 01:39:41.580 Jeez 01:39:47.820 --> 01:39:57.260 Whatever your element i'll have a pill Um, okay, what do we want to do google's killing the place for monopoly. That's fun. Uh by june 30th developers 01:39:57.260 --> 01:40:00.860 You know what? No, hold on. Hold on. We can get to that in a second. First. I want to talk 01:40:00.940 --> 01:40:07.980 I had to have the uh, I had to have the snake oil folk medicine conversation with my eldest daughter on this trip 01:40:08.460 --> 01:40:14.220 Um, they they all got 20 dollars 20 canadian dollars for a souvenir 01:40:14.620 --> 01:40:23.180 um budget And uh, she picked out this little it's like a little woven mat and it has a little cat on it 01:40:23.260 --> 01:40:28.220 It's cute. It's a cat on a mat. Whatever. Sure.

Yeah, totally However 01:41:18.700 --> 01:41:23.260 Only if we are actively running air through it not if it's just 01:41:24.220 --> 01:41:33.500 Sitting there on your dresser And we need to have a way to either swap out the you're gonna gut that fake cat activated charcoal 01:41:34.300 --> 01:41:38.700 Or we have to have a way of removing it and putting it out in the sun to reactivate it 01:41:39.740 --> 01:41:42.460 Neither of those things are true. It's just 01:41:43.580 --> 01:41:46.940 activated charcoal In a pillow 01:41:46.940 --> 01:41:52.860 That just sits there and has no way to replace it or recharge it.

We love the taste of leather. It's so good 01:48:09.260 --> 01:48:16.780 um And other things. Yeah, no this was it was like just objective a thing vegetable and bean burgers 01:48:18.220 --> 01:48:21.340 It was it was it was a it was definitely a thing 01:48:21.900 --> 01:48:24.860 and and and courts and and google 01:48:25.420 --> 01:48:28.540 And apple all know everybody knows 01:48:29.100 --> 01:48:33.980 It was just a matter of time until you could figure it out. And uh, this is great 01:48:34.700 --> 01:48:38.300 I'm um I'm I'm very 01:48:38.300 --> 01:48:45.100 Very very excited. Uh, eroldo says I refuse to accept the hypocrisy of simping for steam 01:48:46.220 --> 01:48:52.460 That's the thing and again, this is this is like you need to you need to read more 01:48:53.340 --> 01:48:55.740 Steam has things about it that 01:48:57.740 --> 01:49:01.740 Where they where valve leverages their quite dominant position 01:49:02.460 --> 01:49:08.460 But they are not in fact a monopoly because they just like aren't 01:49:09.260 --> 01:49:17.420 because You're not bound to use steam in any way. You can go on go g you can go on epic games 01:49:17.820 --> 01:49:23.500 You can go anywhere you want and you can download a game for any platform where you can also 01:49:23.980 --> 01:49:27.260 Get that game on steam it is 01:49:27.260 --> 01:49:34.780 and steam Unlike the app store and the google play store is not owned by the platform owner 01:49:35.100 --> 01:49:38.540 That's why it just isn't the same thing 01:49:38.620 --> 01:49:43.820 At all and i'm sorry, but I can't be the one to explain it to you. You're going to have to go and just 01:49:44.460 --> 01:49:50.060 Learn more about monopolistic behavior and anti competitive laws and stuff 01:49:51.500 --> 01:49:53.500 cool 01:49:54.540 --> 01:49:57.580 Shall we do the Floatplane announcement and do it spongers? 01:50:01.260 --> 01:50:04.540 Uh, yeah Floatplane announcement. Let's do it. Where is it? 01:50:05.980 --> 01:50:13.580 We all have an embarrassing tech store. You're too so riley sought out some embarrassing moments from members 01:50:13.820 --> 01:50:17.740 of the LMG team it features elijah who admitted to 01:50:18.380 --> 01:50:23.340 a crime adam who blew out his partner's ears 01:50:24.060 --> 01:50:30.540 with music that was too loud and james who bought a laptop that cost 01:50:31.820 --> 01:50:37.100 $2,300 at the time just to play team fortress 2 01:50:38.300 --> 01:50:43.900 That's a yikes But where is david you might ask? 01:50:44.620 --> 01:50:50.140 No one ever asked. How is david? Oh, it's okay. I I did the delivery on that totally wrong anyway 01:50:50.540 --> 01:50:56.300 His setup from five years ago the point is david showcased a setup and how much it's changed from his original 01:50:56.780 --> 01:51:01.420 Ultimate tech upgrade. Uh, he's got his man cave upgrade in there and shows what it looks like today 01:51:01.980 --> 01:51:08.620 Also, if you are from brazil or think brazil is cool or you don't understand tariffs and you want to understand tariffs better 01:51:08.620 --> 01:51:14.060 And how they can be like really bad for consumers. Uh, you might want to check out the early release 01:51:14.620 --> 01:51:19.180 Um, luke are you are you showing any of this? Yeah, we're gonna keep going. Oh, yeah, there you go 01:51:20.060 --> 01:51:26.860 Tariffs tariffs tariffs All of this and more at LMG dot gg slash f p 01:51:27.660 --> 01:51:31.980 when cool 01:51:35.180 --> 01:51:37.180 Now for some sponsors 01:51:39.100 --> 01:51:45.100 Hold on. Hold on. Give me a second lozer says Linus valve and steam is creating that environment with steam os with the 01:51:45.260 --> 01:51:47.580 With the ownership of the platform and that 01:51:50.220 --> 01:51:53.100 You're trying so hard to make this a thing 01:51:53.660 --> 01:51:56.220 But it still isn't because steam os still 01:51:57.100 --> 01:52:00.060 totally supports other app stores 01:52:00.700 --> 01:52:07.260 with valve taking absolutely Count them zero dollars and having zero involvement 01:52:07.740 --> 01:52:10.380 In that transaction. So it's still 01:52:11.020 --> 01:52:16.620 Completely not the same thing I'm sorry, but no amount of trying to make steam 01:52:17.020 --> 01:52:21.340 The same thing as the app store and the google play store is going to make it the same thing 01:52:21.500 --> 01:52:24.620 Because it's just not the same thing and it's just not going to work 01:52:25.500 --> 01:52:30.460 Steam could be compared to one of the app stores that is now allowed to potentially be on there 01:52:30.460 --> 01:52:36.060 Yep, totally. And if one of them had an extremely dominant position 01:52:36.540 --> 01:52:41.420 That enabled them to do certain things that that could be anti-competitive 01:52:41.820 --> 01:52:48.540 Then we could draw a parallel there because valve does have an opportunity to do certain things that can be anti-competitive 01:52:48.940 --> 01:52:51.980 but one of those things is not the thing that 01:52:52.620 --> 01:52:58.140 Tim Sweeney was complaining about with the app store and iOS and the tight integration and control 01:52:58.620 --> 01:53:02.380 over transactions and payments and the availability of apps for the platform 01:53:03.100 --> 01:53:06.620 they're just Not the same thing 01:53:07.020 --> 01:53:13.020 Magic cheeseburger says I agree with you. It's not about agreement. It's about like this is a fact that it just is a thing 01:53:16.940 --> 01:53:21.340 But if you delete steam if you leave steam you lose all your games forever. Yes 01:53:22.140 --> 01:53:26.220 Yes, you do, but that is nothing to do with what we're talking about. Cool, dude 01:53:28.940 --> 01:53:32.540 All right Oh, man 01:53:32.540 --> 01:53:38.380 I don't know do I you know, I think part of it. Luke. I think one of the big challenges we have is that you and I watch every WAN Show 01:53:39.500 --> 01:53:43.500 And most viewers don't So all I don't watch every WAN Show 01:53:44.380 --> 01:53:48.460 Well, no, I just read the comments there for it though. Oh my god. So 01:53:49.500 --> 01:53:53.660 So we end up in this situation Oh 01:53:53.900 --> 01:53:58.460 Why are you so why are you so down on Linux and you never criticize Windows and it's like 01:53:58.700 --> 01:54:07.100 She's like so the previous show's title Could literally be you know Windows is cooked, you know, yeah, I can point about all the time 01:54:08.460 --> 01:54:16.460 Their own exposure bias Is that all they see and hear is the thing that's making them emotional right now? Yeah, it's like guys 01:54:16.780 --> 01:54:19.820 We criticize steam and valve all the time 01:54:20.460 --> 01:54:22.460 Windows is becoming like 01:54:23.500 --> 01:54:28.940 Very very rapidly terrible. I I had this whole thing where like I was getting really nostalgic 01:54:29.500 --> 01:54:34.940 About old Windows. Actually. I was thinking back to like how much I just really enjoyed 01:54:36.220 --> 01:54:44.060 Using Windows xp and I know people go if you go back now. It's it's terrible. It's like, yeah, that's cool for the time it was 01:54:44.940 --> 01:54:51.580 Amazing and then you look at vista was based and it's like a lot of people have terrible memories of vista 01:54:51.900 --> 01:54:59.020 Because they bought a laptop from best buy with 512 megs of RAM and tried to run vista on it and that was terrible 01:54:59.500 --> 01:55:05.100 Terrible terrible terrible, but when I had some better hardware and especially when I had a custom version of vista, dude 01:55:05.420 --> 01:55:07.660 Vista black edition was so 01:55:08.540 --> 01:55:11.420 Sick, it was amazing. I loved using vista 01:55:11.660 --> 01:55:14.860 Especially late in the game when I had better hardware and especially a custom version 01:55:14.860 --> 01:55:20.780 But I still really actually liked using vista arrow looked amazing. It just couldn't run on your crappy laptop 01:55:20.860 --> 01:55:23.660 Okay, and then seven came out and seven was 01:55:24.460 --> 01:55:27.980 Amazing again people keep talking about this like oh, it's good and then bad and the good and bad 01:55:28.380 --> 01:55:32.700 In my opinion not really it was kind of just good and then the hardware wasn't ready and then good 01:55:33.340 --> 01:55:40.140 Um, like vista was actually fantastic like printers printer compatibility on vista was a nightmare 01:55:41.100 --> 01:55:46.060 Yeah um Then then we get eight and eight out of the gate 01:55:46.780 --> 01:55:52.300 was To use the young people's probably out of date term by this point dog water 01:55:52.700 --> 01:55:56.700 But 8.1 came out and with a little time with a little bit of 01:55:57.420 --> 01:56:00.620 Time in the marinade 8.1 was actually really solid 01:56:01.020 --> 01:56:05.180 Especially if you got the the Windows 9 thing and got the custom version all that kind of stuff 01:56:05.580 --> 01:56:09.420 Fantastic and then we hit Windows 10 and it was like ooh now 01:56:10.220 --> 01:56:14.460 Now It's still edible 01:56:15.020 --> 01:56:21.260 But something's wrong with it I don't necessarily know what it is. There's still Windows all my stuff still kind of works 01:56:21.500 --> 01:56:24.220 You left the sticker on when you were eating it. Yeah 01:56:24.620 --> 01:56:30.620 Something's just okay, and then Windows 11 came out and then it was like okay. No like this for sure still works 01:56:30.860 --> 01:56:39.180 But is clearly Bad for me like something something is not good. Have they fixed 11 yet? I am being food poisoned 01:56:40.140 --> 01:56:44.940 And then I think with looking at 12 on the horizon like it's just we were doing this thing, right? 01:56:44.940 --> 01:56:47.660 We're like they'd stumble a little like amazing launch 01:56:48.220 --> 01:56:50.620 Maybe a little bit of a stumble because of hardware, but then amazing 01:56:51.580 --> 01:56:54.860 Just amazing and then really troublesome launch 01:56:54.860 --> 01:57:00.220 But then they totally fixed it and then now we're just literally just doing this and it feels terrible 01:57:00.460 --> 01:57:05.740 And you can jump off the ship Early and maybe have some troubles trying to learn Linux 01:57:06.300 --> 01:57:14.540 Um and maybe come back to Windows Who knows but gain a little bit of familiarity or you can jump off later when it's like just death or or I don't know 01:57:14.700 --> 01:57:22.140 Or microsoft will maybe but I doubt it actually listen to some people and stop just doing this with their operating system 01:57:22.380 --> 01:57:27.580 which By god, I will I will volunteer. I expect best nothing 01:57:27.820 --> 01:57:32.780 You never you never even have to admit that I helped you I require no compensation 01:57:32.860 --> 01:57:38.300 I will tell you all of the things you need to do to make it not garbage anymore. No problem 01:57:38.380 --> 01:57:40.940 I am yours to be resourced 01:57:41.580 --> 01:57:46.860 But you won't do it down You know what? You know what? Yeah, Linus will come with me. We'll figure it out 01:57:47.740 --> 01:57:51.100 If you want Windows 12 to be like the ai operating system 01:57:51.340 --> 01:57:57.180 I think this is still possible. You can still accomplish that goal and still make it not complete crap 01:57:57.660 --> 01:58:01.100 I like You can do it 01:58:01.180 --> 01:58:04.860 I I don't believe you're going to but you totally I know a lot of people 01:58:05.340 --> 01:58:10.540 I know a lot of people are are are are just sort of like 01:58:11.180 --> 01:58:15.660 Reflexively against anything that has ai of any sort involved in it 01:58:16.540 --> 01:58:25.580 I'm not I actually agree with you that Windows 12 could be could have could have ai as a central part of the experience 01:58:26.540 --> 01:58:31.820 And all they need to do to make that palatable to everyone who doesn't want it 01:58:31.820 --> 01:58:36.140 I bet you were gonna say the same thing make it so i can remove it. Yep done 01:58:36.460 --> 01:58:39.900 It's be able to turn it off be able to remove it make it modular 01:58:40.140 --> 01:58:43.500 So I could plug my own in make it so I could make it have it so that 01:58:44.540 --> 01:58:47.420 Make it so the first time I press the co-pilot button it goes 01:58:47.980 --> 01:58:51.980 Hey, I'm co-pilot. Do you want me to rebind this button to something else? 01:58:52.620 --> 01:58:55.740 But Right now I do this what an idea 01:58:55.740 --> 01:59:00.460 Do you want it? It can also do this other thing or like I like I would I would love it 01:59:00.460 --> 01:59:04.860 If they built these systems where it can work with your computer in really good ways and then 01:59:05.900 --> 01:59:11.100 I could be like right But I don't want it phoning home to microsoft all the time and literally screen recording everything 01:59:11.100 --> 01:59:18.780 I do and putting in your server farm just for someone else to steal it So I would like to use my own resources run some stuff locally and then be able to just plug my own thing in 01:59:18.860 --> 01:59:24.460 And it still has those capabilities that would be awesome. You could make a really really cool Windows 12 01:59:25.020 --> 01:59:28.780 I don't believe you're going to so i'm trying to jump off the ship early, but man 01:59:29.020 --> 01:59:34.780 I will help you for free. I will put in time. I'll put in hours. You don't have to tell anyone. You don't have to compensate me 01:59:35.980 --> 01:59:40.460 Please it's too bad because they are doing some stuff that is pretty cool 01:59:41.020 --> 01:59:43.820 Um, I I left my I left my rg ally 01:59:44.460 --> 01:59:48.140 On our last trip. I'm getting it back. I did find it. So that's cool 01:59:48.540 --> 01:59:55.900 But on our trip down to zero trust world. I left my ally. So I I grabbed a handheld to bring on this trip and 01:59:57.020 --> 02:00:02.540 Ultimately didn't end up needing it like I said Linux challenge and I'm using my laptop for gaming right now 02:00:03.100 --> 02:00:08.460 But it had the it had the new the new gaming optimized Windows on it 02:00:09.260 --> 02:00:12.140 and It's it's pretty cool 02:00:12.300 --> 02:00:18.620 The the xbox interface on the on the rog ally x series x or whatever the stupid thing is called 02:00:19.420 --> 02:00:24.940 it's like legitimately Pretty cool and the RAM usage is way lower like 02:00:25.500 --> 02:00:28.620 Microsoft is putting in work. They're optimizing stuff 02:00:29.500 --> 02:00:32.300 They just have to not be at the same time 02:00:34.300 --> 02:00:37.980 Breaking things and moving the user experience backwards like dude 02:00:38.220 --> 02:00:42.860 You were talking about the CPU usage issues that you're having over there right now, right? Yeah 02:00:43.500 --> 02:00:46.460 Okay, do you want to know what my CPU usage is right now? 02:00:47.500 --> 02:00:52.140 Yeah, what? It's hovering between about three and a half 02:00:52.700 --> 02:00:58.940 to Four and a half five percent. What's your memory? And that's with that's with everything 02:00:59.180 --> 02:01:04.060 I'm doing right now. So I have the live stream running. I have the chat open 02:01:04.460 --> 02:01:07.660 I have the separate window where I have 02:01:08.940 --> 02:01:14.460 The the call running I have that app for my phone capture 02:01:14.780 --> 02:01:17.980 So I have wi-fi up the butt because I'm also 02:01:18.860 --> 02:01:22.140 I couldn't get the wired connection working for my my phone as my webcam 02:01:22.620 --> 02:01:25.180 So I have all that data streaming in 02:01:25.980 --> 02:01:29.500 And I'm sitting at a handful of percent now 02:01:29.580 --> 02:01:36.060 I do have a lot of RAM use But I think that's just because when a soos sent this laptop to me 02:01:36.140 --> 02:01:41.020 They sent me like a fully loaded version, which is honestly crazy given the current situation 02:01:41.020 --> 02:01:45.900 I have 128 gigs of RAM in this machine So I'm using 12 gigs of RAM 02:01:46.460 --> 02:01:52.300 But when I look at my applications I am sitting at a total of under two gigs 02:01:52.780 --> 02:01:55.580 So I think that's probably just 02:01:56.300 --> 02:01:58.300 the os just caching 02:01:59.660 --> 02:02:04.060 everything so so mine I have chrome open with admittedly 02:02:06.540 --> 02:02:13.020 Three flow plane tabs one google sheet one google search the steam hardware survey and the LTT Store 02:02:13.740 --> 02:02:20.700 Um, I have one notepad open with one page on it and I have the task manager open and that's it 02:02:21.100 --> 02:02:24.620 I'm hovering between 15 and 20 CPU usage 02:02:25.020 --> 02:02:35.020 I'm at 52 percent memory usage and usually around five to ten percent disc because the Windows module installer worker is still just 02:02:35.660 --> 02:02:38.940 Rip it. It hasn't it hasn't stopped once 02:02:39.420 --> 02:02:43.100 It's still the number one process. It has constantly been the number one process 02:02:43.260 --> 02:02:49.500 The next one is like a Windows event log. I just that just went down. It kind of jumps up and down all the time 02:02:49.980 --> 02:02:53.420 Um, and now I I talked about this when we recorded this before the show 02:02:53.580 --> 02:02:56.460 We do have sentinel one running. We do have ninja rmm running 02:02:57.100 --> 02:03:00.860 Those are in there. Those are never like the number one through five 02:03:01.100 --> 02:03:06.540 But they are floating around so it's like there are there is some stuff that we installed running in the background, but 02:03:08.780 --> 02:03:16.540 All my Linux desktop back at home there are there's things running I have stuff I have been using it as a desktop for a while. This happens when you have a system, you know 02:03:17.020 --> 02:03:26.060 um It's just I mean like chrome is like usually like five to eight in the in the top processes like 02:03:27.580 --> 02:03:32.460 And this thing, uh, it's it's mostly calmed down now before on camera without touching it 02:03:32.460 --> 02:03:37.820 We saw it spiked to like 75 CPU usage and it wasn't sentinel one or any of those other things 02:03:38.380 --> 02:03:46.460 Uh, I mean threat lockers also on here. It's just not showing up in like, uh, a highly like a super heavy process compared to these other ones right now 02:03:47.020 --> 02:03:52.380 um Comparatively like recall is recall is part of it 02:03:53.020 --> 02:03:58.220 Oh god the recall preview the recall preview. It probably sneaked its way back in 02:03:58.460 --> 02:04:04.300 Yeah, I neutered those before I deployed them. You can I'm sure Dan can see it on my screen now recall sitting right there 02:04:04.380 --> 02:04:10.700 I'm looking at mine. I'm sitting at 50 CPU usage with a cool 42 gigs of memory usage. Yeah, but you're well 02:04:10.700 --> 02:04:15.180 Yeah, but you're handling this I'm so much better than you guys 02:04:15.180 --> 02:04:19.260 It's not fair. My Ferrari is so much faster than your bicycle 02:04:21.100 --> 02:04:23.100 I'm just a better person 02:04:25.260 --> 02:04:27.260 Yeah 02:04:28.540 --> 02:04:31.980 All right, I think we're supposed to do sponsors now. I can't believe recalls there 02:04:32.060 --> 02:04:36.060 I I know that Dan killed it too. I must have snuck its way back in this is like 02:04:37.180 --> 02:04:40.140 This is what i'm talking about dude get out of here 02:04:40.220 --> 02:04:42.780 I'm gonna do another pass and rip out more of its brain 02:04:43.260 --> 02:04:48.060 The recall preview. I learned how to neuter Windows 11. So i'm a little happier with it now 02:04:48.460 --> 02:04:54.300 Did I restore your right click menus on the desktop? I can't remember if I did that on those ones or not 02:04:55.500 --> 02:05:01.100 I did I would have noticed if my right click wasn't working that would have made me extremely angry. Yeah 02:05:02.380 --> 02:05:07.500 What the the new menu? All right. Yeah, the show is brought to you today by vessie 02:05:08.140 --> 02:05:11.340 Here's the thing about the vancouver area every year without fail 02:05:11.420 --> 02:05:16.540 We get hit with a random wave of snow not when you'd expect it just randomly this time in march 02:05:17.020 --> 02:05:22.300 But thanks to vessie our sponsor a little bit of spring snow doesn't need to slow you down 02:05:22.700 --> 02:05:26.460 Their weekend neo shoes are perfect for this time of year.

There was like the chicken rice and asparagus. There was like the chicken 02:08:52.060 --> 02:08:56.940 Uh, I think there's like rice and corn and some type of broccoli or something and it's just like 02:08:58.220 --> 02:09:02.140 Chicken simple carb plus green. Yes. Very good. Um 02:09:03.580 --> 02:09:11.100 All right, should we talk about Linux hacked onto a ps5 effectively turning sony's console into a steam machine 02:09:11.820 --> 02:09:20.460 security engineer andy new yin Successfully ported Linux to a ps5 slim by bypassing sony's hypervisor using an exploit called 02:09:20.940 --> 02:09:25.980 Bi-pervisor, which has got to be the best name of an exploit. I've heard in like so long 02:09:26.620 --> 02:09:28.620 Bi-pervisor is so good 02:09:29.820 --> 02:09:37.180 It grants kernel level control and allows unsigned code to run the hack required firmware version 1.0 to 2.0 02:09:37.260 --> 02:09:40.620 Though which is about five years old. So if you've been keeping your playstation up to date 02:09:41.420 --> 02:09:46.140 This isn't really going to be a thing for you. However, once you got it running it 02:09:46.860 --> 02:09:55.660 Was kind of awesome The modded console could run gta 5 enhanced edition via steam at 1440p 60 FPS with ray tracing enabled 02:09:56.060 --> 02:10:02.380 And because it's a ps5 supports 4k HDMI output audio and even had all the usb ports running 02:10:02.780 --> 02:10:10.380 The CPU runs at 3.2 gigahertz and GPU at 2 gigahertz with boost capabilities, although it did start overheating at higher clock speeds 02:10:11.100 --> 02:10:14.780 sony actually used to allow something similar on the playstation 02:10:15.420 --> 02:10:19.980 My notes say the ps3 had the other os feature and if you go back even farther 02:10:20.140 --> 02:10:24.460 You could just get a Linux disk that you could put in your playstation and run Linux on it 02:10:25.100 --> 02:10:28.540 When we did our i bought every playstation video. We actually showed it 02:10:29.260 --> 02:10:35.180 um But they don't allow it anymore, but apparently nothing would prevent it 02:10:35.740 --> 02:10:39.500 And it would honestly in my humble opinion luke 02:10:40.300 --> 02:10:48.700 be The best Solution right now for really really cool considering you can run ps5 games. That's so sick 02:10:48.780 --> 02:10:55.900 I used Yeah, I used ps5 that could dual boot sony's playstation operating system 02:10:56.620 --> 02:10:59.180 And Linux to just like run steam 02:10:59.820 --> 02:11:07.900 would be The goat gaming machine for that price like killer super super super cool 02:11:09.340 --> 02:11:15.100 Our discussion question here is with sony rumored to be pulling back from pc releases 02:11:15.740 --> 02:11:23.980 Does a hack like this hint at a future where console hardware could be repurposed as a pc as the lines between pc's and consoles keep blurring 02:11:24.460 --> 02:11:30.780 Unfortunately, I don't think so. I think the sony rumor that they're pulling back from pc releases 02:11:31.420 --> 02:11:34.780 If anything indicates that sony wants to draw 02:11:35.340 --> 02:11:40.220 clearer lines between their consoles and general-purpose software pcs 02:11:40.780 --> 02:11:44.220 In the lead-up to the release of the playstation 6. I think they 02:11:45.020 --> 02:11:52.060 Are recognizing that later in the console's life cycle. It's very beneficial to take that software 02:11:52.460 --> 02:11:55.740 and tap into a new market with it and sell a bunch of 02:11:56.140 --> 02:11:59.340 you know spider-man to pc gamers 02:11:59.980 --> 02:12:03.660 But if you want to move the machine if you want to create the install base 02:12:04.220 --> 02:12:10.220 You got to have exclusives and I remember talking about this back with the original steam machine where I was like, yeah, I understand valve's like 02:12:10.940 --> 02:12:13.820 Good guy philosophy where they don't want to have 02:12:14.940 --> 02:12:16.940 exclusivity, you know, you know 02:12:18.380 --> 02:12:21.660 Locked games for the steam machine and they want to be open 02:12:22.140 --> 02:12:29.740 But at the end of the day Games move consoles. It's that simple and I think sony is 02:12:30.300 --> 02:12:36.300 Either recognizing or this was the plan the whole time that when they launch a new generation 02:12:36.700 --> 02:12:45.100 there is absolutely No way that they are not going to be that they are going to be a success without exclusive titles 02:12:45.100 --> 02:12:49.420 It's just not going to happen man. Microsoft So they're like losing 02:12:49.420 --> 02:12:53.100 consoles they're 02:12:53.100 --> 02:12:59.180 I think people are genuinely getting just a little too over it when it comes to operating systems 02:12:59.180 --> 02:13:07.820 I don't think we're quite there yet, but There are actually it does seem to be a lot more people that I've been hearing from actually genuinely switching over to Linux lately 02:13:08.140 --> 02:13:13.500 Especially normie people. Yep that are mad about it. Sorry. I thought you were gonna say that are that are fed up with it 02:13:13.740 --> 02:13:16.860 No, yeah, I uh, I I know I know people that 02:13:17.340 --> 02:13:19.580 used a steam deck and we're just like 02:13:20.540 --> 02:13:25.660 Wait, this is fine. I'm like just actually replace their computers with steam decks 02:13:26.140 --> 02:13:28.780 And they don't even think of it as like I'm running Linux 02:13:29.340 --> 02:13:35.260 They're just like, yeah, I use a steam deck and it's fine. Like I don't even know if they're really fully understanding like what that means 02:13:35.900 --> 02:13:41.500 Um, it's steam os, but that's the thing Linux is not a distro Linux is not an operating system 02:13:41.500 --> 02:13:45.980 Yeah, I think steam os is going to be the one azure is running 02:13:46.940 --> 02:13:50.620 Linux so pilot is 02:13:50.700 --> 02:13:54.300 kind of Open a i powered like what are they? 02:13:57.100 --> 02:14:00.940 It's like the office company now teams. Yeah, the worst chat 02:14:02.860 --> 02:14:05.260 I guess but like honest this is 02:14:06.380 --> 02:14:11.980 What what have you had to do anything? I'm assuming. Yeah, have you had have you had to do anything with like documentation so far on Linux? 02:14:11.980 --> 02:14:14.860 What have you been using libra only office? What have you been using? 02:14:15.660 --> 02:14:18.140 Have you used any of it? I just use google docs google docs. Yeah 02:14:19.340 --> 02:14:26.620 I had to sign some pdfs recently and uh, I I went with only office just to give it a shot 02:14:27.340 --> 02:14:30.780 And it was Really easy and totally fine 02:14:31.980 --> 02:14:38.780 Right, did you have to pay like Like five bucks for a picture nothing it's feed or like I'd also I thought this was kind of funny 02:14:38.860 --> 02:14:43.500 There's definitely more things when you download office 365. I feel like I didn't hear something 02:14:43.820 --> 02:14:50.540 Um That's okay. Everyone else got it. There's there's definitely more things that you're downloading when you download office 365 02:14:50.700 --> 02:14:56.140 But only office downloaded fast and it like takes a while to download office 365 02:14:56.140 --> 02:14:59.420 And you have to jump through a bunch of login hoops and do all these different types of things 02:14:59.820 --> 02:15:03.900 And like I was probably done signing my first document before I would have been done 02:15:04.460 --> 02:15:07.660 installing office Um, yeah 02:15:07.660 --> 02:15:15.820 Oh, you have to I remember for years It was a pain in the butt to even find the download link for office 365 because they had it behind a login 02:15:16.140 --> 02:15:21.260 And then you would download it and then you'd have to log in anyway I don't know if it's super annoying with creative cloud 02:15:21.340 --> 02:15:25.020 But that would they had a really similar situation where getting the creative cloud 02:15:25.580 --> 02:15:31.180 application download link Involved logging in and then you'd have to log in again once you got it 02:15:31.180 --> 02:15:35.900 It's like what is the downside of just letting me download this thing and then I'll log in once I get it 02:15:36.540 --> 02:15:43.980 Yeah Yeah, yeah, it's uh, but yeah, it's I mean it was a pretty great experience. Um 02:15:44.940 --> 02:15:52.700 So just want to throw that out there, but yeah microsoft stop taking ells bruh. I liked it when you were cool. I really 02:15:53.580 --> 02:15:58.540 God this whole Linux thing has been fun. I would really love to to enjoy Windows again 02:15:58.780 --> 02:16:06.380 It would be so that's something That I think a lot of people miss in all of our takes on basically everything 02:16:06.860 --> 02:16:15.340 Is that we are not Pro one side one sec. Sorry Dan is that pro competition. Is this going to the to the viewers? 02:16:16.140 --> 02:16:23.580 Can they see this mouse cursor? What what there's a mouse. Oh, that's my mouse cursor. Yeah, are you hallucinating a mouse cursor? No, there's a mouse 02:16:23.660 --> 02:16:29.740 I'm sorry. It was on the wrong screen. Can they even see that? No, that's that's my fourth monitor. Oh, so that's just for me 02:16:29.900 --> 02:16:34.300 Okay, don't keep it there. Anyway, um, we are we're pro competition 02:16:34.780 --> 02:16:43.820 competition between Windows and Linux and macOS and competition between Android and iphone and and competition between 02:16:44.380 --> 02:16:49.500 xbox and playstation So you're gonna see us like like I've seen people who are like 02:16:50.780 --> 02:16:55.980 Why this always flip flops anyway, you know, he's not consistent. Yeah, I'm not consistent 02:16:56.460 --> 02:17:02.540 We're trying to support underdogs in a time When NVIDIA is so dominant in gpus, for instance 02:17:03.020 --> 02:17:07.820 You're gonna hear me say hey like Intel's doing some really cool stuff 02:17:08.380 --> 02:17:14.220 Over there right now and it's really important that we acknowledge that because we need competition 02:17:14.620 --> 02:17:17.660 And in the same way, you know, even though I might 02:17:18.300 --> 02:17:24.620 Say that from a day-to-day use perspective, there's a lot of aspects of the Linux experience that are not working too great for me 02:17:25.020 --> 02:17:28.060 You're still gonna hear me talk about how the microsoft 02:17:28.700 --> 02:17:33.820 Dominance in the operating system space has to be challenged because otherwise we end up with what we've got now 02:17:34.940 --> 02:17:43.500 a monopoly always Encrapifies always every single time it will turn to crap eventually because competition 02:17:44.220 --> 02:17:48.140 Puts pressure on us to do better. And so you're always going to hear that from us 02:17:48.940 --> 02:17:57.980 Yeah Yeah Speaking of which live nation ticket master agreed to settle a federal antitrust lawsuit with the department of justice 02:17:58.620 --> 02:18:01.740 Uh, and apparently they they won't be broken up 02:18:02.060 --> 02:18:08.300 The doj reached a surprise settlement with live nation just one week into its landmark antitrust trial 02:18:08.620 --> 02:18:15.260 Allowing the company to keep ticket master without admitting any wrongdoing the deal cap service fees at 15 02:18:15.580 --> 02:18:18.940 percent at live nation menus bars 02:18:20.140 --> 02:18:25.500 Oh at live nation menus bars ticket master from requiring exclusive contracts with large 02:18:25.660 --> 02:18:32.540 Ampitheaters and requires all acquisitions to be submitted to the doj for approval regardless of size. Well, okay 02:18:32.860 --> 02:18:38.060 The middle one is actually Not that that helps a lot 02:18:38.940 --> 02:18:46.300 The exclusive contracts one. Yeah, the whole exclusive contracts thing. However in my humble opinion, that's not enough carry on 02:18:46.620 --> 02:18:54.380 Yeah, not at all Uh, the settlement blindsided state state attorneys general more than 25 states and 02:18:54.860 --> 02:18:57.740 DC say they're continuing the trial anyway 02:18:59.100 --> 02:19:04.220 The presiding judge called the process entirely unacceptable after it emerged 02:19:05.180 --> 02:19:08.220 The doj and live nation had already signed 02:19:08.780 --> 02:19:12.940 a What had already signed a preliminary agreement on thursday without 02:19:13.340 --> 02:19:21.340 Notifying the states giving them only 24 hours to decide whether to join seat geek called it incredibly disappointing senator 02:19:21.820 --> 02:19:31.500 Amy klobuchar Said breaking up the company is the only real fix and rival promoters say 16 years of surface level remedies 02:19:31.740 --> 02:19:35.100 Haven't worked the settlement still needs final court approval 02:19:37.820 --> 02:19:43.660 With more than half the states rejecting the deal and continuing the trial does a settlement that lets live nation keep ticket 02:19:44.060 --> 02:19:46.060 ticket master actually solve anything 02:19:47.740 --> 02:19:53.740 The current doj is I look i'm not american so take this for all it is but the current doj appears 02:19:53.900 --> 02:19:57.420 to be an enormous problem for people who want things like this 02:19:58.220 --> 02:20:02.940 Which are important things that that impact everyday people lots of people 02:20:03.500 --> 02:20:07.100 um Seems to be the most people massive massive problem 02:20:08.060 --> 02:20:10.540 My friends call me they're like wow, that's so many people 02:20:11.900 --> 02:20:19.500 It is it is so many people. I mean if you buy a ticket for basically freaking anything you have to deal with ticket master and the 02:20:20.060 --> 02:20:27.260 um The clearly back alley deal that was done to reach this settlement 02:20:27.820 --> 02:20:33.420 um It's just so clear that it should be a wake-up call to anyone who's 02:20:34.140 --> 02:20:42.220 Not certain how clear this was That it was very clear that this was a back alley corrupt deal and 02:20:43.660 --> 02:20:45.980 Charcoal nun nyan says but have you seen the dow? 02:20:47.740 --> 02:20:53.580 Dude Yeah, exactly exactly the dow though 02:20:55.020 --> 02:21:02.620 But the dow It's it is so fascinating watching politicians and billionaires 02:21:03.340 --> 02:21:08.300 Talk about the stock market as though it matters to what what percentage is it? 02:21:08.780 --> 02:21:13.660 Of uh of even people in in affluent countries like even in north america 02:21:14.140 --> 02:21:18.060 What percentage is it of people who actually own stocks? 02:21:18.140 --> 02:21:21.420 I know that a lot of people will have part of their retirement 02:21:22.060 --> 02:21:26.540 um invested In uh invested in stocks 02:21:26.940 --> 02:21:30.860 But in terms of like actual like having a personal portfolio 02:21:31.580 --> 02:21:34.940 My understanding is it is the the investment class is 02:21:35.580 --> 02:21:40.700 Shockingly small. I know the I think is the top 1 percent own 50 percent of the entire stock market 02:21:41.420 --> 02:21:47.340 um Yeah, no key says 62 percent of u.s. Adults own stocks apparently but that includes that's the thing 02:21:47.340 --> 02:21:54.380 Hold on hold on Yeah, how much though like we've got people in chat that are like yeah, I own I own four grand in stocks 02:21:54.380 --> 02:21:57.420 I own I own like a couple grand in stocks 02:21:58.300 --> 02:22:01.500 When the when the stock market goes up, you know 10 percent 02:22:02.220 --> 02:22:06.620 It's like you made 400 dollars, which is like yeah, okay great as long as 02:22:07.580 --> 02:22:12.540 Uh, you know inflation isn't going wild and that's not just you know treading water 02:22:12.940 --> 02:22:16.700 But like in terms of people who own like significant 02:22:17.500 --> 02:22:23.340 value of stocks like I remember I remember reading that it's like it's like shockingly small 02:22:23.980 --> 02:22:31.580 Um, I don't know the exact numbers. Erldo says it's something like the wealthiest 10 percent own 87 to 93 percent of the actual like 02:22:32.220 --> 02:22:34.940 dollar value of the stocks though. It's like, okay 02:22:36.380 --> 02:22:38.380 cool 02:22:42.300 --> 02:22:48.380 Yeah, I'm not uh, not much of a stock guy I do feel I honestly I feel like I've like missed out over this 02:22:49.100 --> 02:22:53.420 Incredible like what is it like a 20 year bull run or something like that at this point? 02:22:53.980 --> 02:23:00.060 business insider in 2024 said that the wealthiest 10 percent of americans own 93 percent of stocks 02:23:01.020 --> 02:23:03.340 Even with market participation at a record high 02:23:05.420 --> 02:23:08.860 Cool But the dow is pretty freaking sick, dude 02:23:10.060 --> 02:23:15.020 Let's let the oh man. No I'm gonna lose it. I need to 02:23:16.860 --> 02:23:18.860 In through the mouth out through the nose 02:23:27.740 --> 02:23:31.260 What can we talk about don't worry though about that 02:23:31.820 --> 02:23:35.980 Because the the dock just moved don't worry about that because the steam machine is coming 02:23:36.220 --> 02:23:41.340 Even with rising DRAM prices around the world and a slight delay in the steam machine release 02:23:41.660 --> 02:23:47.020 Valve posted a blog post that the steam machine steamframe and steam controller would all arrive 02:23:47.500 --> 02:23:52.860 In 2026 on that train our goal of shipping all three products in the first half of the year 02:23:52.860 --> 02:23:59.820 This is a quote has not changed But we have work to do to land on concrete pricing and launch dates 02:24:00.460 --> 02:24:05.900 They did also skate in the blog post that if you have a line on a bunch of RAM 02:24:05.980 --> 02:24:09.580 We are in the market and would like to buy which is you know, probably a 02:24:10.220 --> 02:24:12.780 A joke but still maybe someone will 02:24:13.260 --> 02:24:18.300 Uh discussion question going back to the original discussion about steam machine and the price it would hit 02:24:18.380 --> 02:24:26.380 It would have to hit Do you think your original guesses about price would make this more appealing to people now that DRAM prices have affected things? 02:24:26.700 --> 02:24:28.700 So much 02:24:30.540 --> 02:24:33.340 Uh, yeah, I feel like it kind of has to be yes 02:24:34.780 --> 02:24:39.260 Because if it is more appealing, yeah, because I relative things are going to be accurate 02:24:40.060 --> 02:24:45.100 It's going to go up. Yeah, uh, but then again, I okay, so I guess a little higher though. I wonder 02:24:46.300 --> 02:24:53.900 Here's where I get a little confused though On the one hand. Yeah DRAM pricing has gone bananas and so has nand flash 02:24:54.140 --> 02:25:00.540 But then on the other hand apple just released a $600 laptop that from my understanding 02:25:00.620 --> 02:25:05.020 It is like trivially easy to get an educational discount on and is $4.99 02:25:06.220 --> 02:25:12.620 With the educational discount. Yeah, it's only got eight gigs of RAM. Sure, but but still 02:25:13.980 --> 02:25:18.460 Like price competitive products are clearly still able to be released still possible 02:25:19.500 --> 02:25:26.060 And but then again There you go, I was talking to the the writers about this and someone was like, how are they doing this and 02:25:26.540 --> 02:25:33.420 My guess is that apple locked in their contract for this stuff like two years ago because they operate on a time scale 02:25:33.900 --> 02:25:39.900 And and a general scale that they have few other companies have the bank to do that kind of stuff 02:25:40.380 --> 02:25:48.540 um And on top of that speaking of that macbook neo co-CEO of ASUS flip in loves it and is also 02:25:49.180 --> 02:25:51.180 Pretty scared of it ASUS co-CEO 02:25:52.700 --> 02:25:54.700 who sue 02:25:55.980 --> 02:26:01.500 S. Y. Sue Sue Oh, I was just trying to do the last thing. Yeah, s y sue 02:26:02.140 --> 02:26:08.700 Called the apples 599 macbook neo or 499 if you're clever a shock to the entire pc industry 02:26:08.780 --> 02:26:13.740 Which honestly, yeah saying apple has never competed at this price point before 02:26:14.540 --> 02:26:22.700 Sue said all major pc players microsoft Intel and AMD are actively discussing how to respond to the macbook neo threat 02:26:22.940 --> 02:26:26.700 And they probably should be to be completely honest despite this 02:26:26.940 --> 02:26:34.220 He attempted to downplay the neo's appeal pointing to his eight gigabytes of non-upgradable unified memory and calling it more 02:26:34.220 --> 02:26:40.140 Of a content consumption device similar to an ipad also known as what almost everyone uses their laptops for 02:26:40.460 --> 02:26:49.500 The verges he didn't include that part I put that in there the verges review also flagged slow SSD speeds as another notable limitation alongside the RAM cap 02:26:50.220 --> 02:26:52.620 Again, it's six hundred bucks 02:26:53.260 --> 02:26:58.940 Um, that said most outlets are reviewing the device quite positively and demand from the market is 02:26:59.660 --> 02:27:03.340 Notable and i'm not surprised. That's amazing, dude 02:27:04.220 --> 02:27:07.980 What a crazy piece of hardware 02:27:08.540 --> 02:27:15.900 Um, our discussion question is do you agree with sue's assessment that the neo is just a content consumption device? 02:27:15.980 --> 02:27:18.940 Or is that maybe just a cope? I actually do 02:27:19.820 --> 02:27:27.260 Mostly agree But I don't think it's the gotcha that maybe he hopes that it is because to luke's point 02:27:27.980 --> 02:27:31.500 The vast majority of what people are doing on their laptop 02:27:32.220 --> 02:27:36.380 Is content consumption if you go to macbook air 02:27:37.020 --> 02:27:40.140 What were you doing with it? Yeah Yeah 02:27:40.140 --> 02:27:46.540 Content consumption maybe maybe you did some garage band for fun. I'm sure that still works. I wouldn't be surprised if you can do some 02:27:47.100 --> 02:27:49.100 Not super crazy final cut 02:27:50.220 --> 02:27:56.060 Oh Sue is pronounced shoe shoe. Okay. Thank you. Mellow geek. I thought something might have been wrong. Sorry about that 02:27:56.300 --> 02:27:59.500 I thought it was sue Anyway shoe 02:27:59.500 --> 02:28:03.980 Um, also, I think this is just the first volley 02:28:04.860 --> 02:28:10.300 Apple never no matter how catastrophically a product performs 02:28:11.020 --> 02:28:13.660 Apple never launches just one 02:28:14.380 --> 02:28:19.340 I should okay. No, I shouldn't say Never there might be an example at some point 02:28:20.620 --> 02:28:27.180 But like even vision pro, okay Got it. Yeah, I got a follow-up people are trying to gotcha me with the vision pro 02:28:28.060 --> 02:28:33.580 Got a new model. Yeah, okay newton the pippin the pippin. Yeah, okay, where's our pippin? 02:28:34.620 --> 02:28:38.540 Yeah, we lost our pippin. We don't know where it is. I uh, I should have been stolen 02:28:39.180 --> 02:28:43.340 Yeah, if spanky2k says even the weird hi-fi thing led to the home pod 02:28:43.900 --> 02:28:47.740 Yep, like they apple doesn't release a product 02:28:48.300 --> 02:28:54.700 In a vacuum They release a product with a freaking road map with a freaking plan 02:28:55.500 --> 02:28:59.900 Okay, the trash can poke brick. Yeah, the trash can was kind of a disaster 02:29:00.700 --> 02:29:05.660 Not in a long time though, okay, it's been a long time still I'm still standing 02:29:06.220 --> 02:29:09.820 It's just a different form factor for their desktop product line though 02:29:10.460 --> 02:29:16.460 It was but it was also kind of a dead end in terms of the paradigm the paradigm of 02:29:17.180 --> 02:29:21.580 The mac pro as this like kind of locked down no expansion cards 02:29:21.820 --> 02:29:29.100 Yeah, but like the mac pro existed before that. I understand what you're saying. I I see the logic, but I don't think it 100% fits 02:29:30.220 --> 02:29:34.140 I see that in both ways. I see that in both. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah for sure the point that I'm getting at 02:29:34.380 --> 02:29:40.620 The point I'm getting at here is the macbook neo is almost certainly the first 02:29:41.260 --> 02:29:49.820 In a line of macbook neos And I guarantee you that if they didn't have the limitation of only eight gigs of RAM 02:29:50.780 --> 02:29:54.300 On top of the package for the a18 processor 02:29:54.940 --> 02:29:59.420 That they would have at least considered allowing you to pay for a memory upgrade 02:29:59.420 --> 02:30:04.060 I mean apple loves having people pay for a memory upgrade or a storage upgrade now 02:30:06.540 --> 02:30:10.700 They didn't go far in terms of the storage upgrades that are available on it 02:30:11.100 --> 02:30:14.620 That does tend to be a way that apple differentiates their top models 02:30:14.860 --> 02:30:21.580 So for instance the the latest iphone you have to buy the pro if you want to get I believe is it two terabytes or four terabytes of storage 02:30:21.900 --> 02:30:26.220 Whatever it is whatever the top storage configuration it is you you have to get a pro 02:30:26.860 --> 02:30:30.540 and I would expect them to not offer a macbook neo with 02:30:31.820 --> 02:30:37.580 200 gigs of memory and freaking four terabytes of storage or whatever that is a differentiating point for them 02:30:38.140 --> 02:30:41.820 But I would be shocked if the next one doesn't allow 12 gigs 02:30:42.460 --> 02:30:48.060 Or 16 gigs as we make our way through subsequent releases and with the way that 02:30:49.020 --> 02:30:51.660 Software optimization is going right now 02:30:52.620 --> 02:30:56.220 um 16 gigs of ddr4 was like 02:30:57.580 --> 02:31:03.820 Good and a lot and 16 gigs of ddr5 is pretty good and a lot and 02:31:05.180 --> 02:31:08.300 Like we it's if you think about it. It's actually been quite a while 02:31:08.860 --> 02:31:15.740 Since we've really needed More than eight to 16 gigs. You know what I mean? It's mostly been websites, but you can just close tabs 02:31:15.980 --> 02:31:23.100 Yeah, it's it's just it's just a little bit of convenience. It's not so much capability that much for most users 02:31:24.220 --> 02:31:31.500 Exactly and so if we see an a19 pro chip with 12 gigs of RAM in a next gen 02:31:33.980 --> 02:31:39.740 Man that thing is going to be killer. It's just going to be killer. It's going to it's going to destroy 02:31:40.540 --> 02:31:43.340 the the the budget Windows machine market 02:31:44.300 --> 02:31:47.500 Like apple is dude apple is freaking 02:31:48.620 --> 02:31:56.940 They're out for blood like it's like they want market share for a change. Good mac mini is already like the computer to buy 02:31:57.500 --> 02:32:03.740 Distro depths on the Linux on a certain price seem to be hungry and apple seems to be hungry 02:32:04.060 --> 02:32:08.700 And i'm very happy because Microsoft needs some people chomping at them 02:32:09.260 --> 02:32:17.660 Um Microsoft can be great again. I I believe in a positive future for microsoft. I just they have to get focused 02:32:17.660 --> 02:32:23.580 They have to get focused man. Oh my god. They're going to luke and not soon eight or nine percent of their business 02:32:23.660 --> 02:32:29.260 It's less than 10 percent of their business I just don't think they're paying attention. They're not focused on it 02:32:29.420 --> 02:32:33.340 I mean they went and they put that ai exec in charge of xbox like what are they? 02:32:33.420 --> 02:32:36.220 Yeah, but if you start if you start losing Windows Windows is 02:32:37.100 --> 02:32:43.980 A part of you're talking revenue And for sure, but I think if you start losing Windows 02:32:44.620 --> 02:32:47.660 You start losing three six five subscriptions 02:32:48.540 --> 02:32:51.980 Oh, you're a hundred percent right like I think it's I think it's this like 02:32:53.340 --> 02:32:56.380 It's it's their infrastructure department kind of that happens to make money 02:32:56.460 --> 02:33:03.500 I'm talking about the the dangerous path that they could be heading down. Oh, totally. Yeah, if they if they manage their business based on 02:33:04.220 --> 02:33:12.060 Counting beans Yeah, you gotta you got so many beans dude. You got so many beans coming in your your bean income seems to be pretty good 02:33:12.620 --> 02:33:20.380 You should probably work on uh Making it so that the thing that supports all your incoming beans is a little bit better just let and 02:33:21.100 --> 02:33:26.860 Okay, honestly, I'm gonna use that argument The like it's eight percent or whatever just make it awesome 02:33:27.180 --> 02:33:32.940 Whatever get the stupid ads out and stuff and just make it really good and go back to the whole just 02:33:33.500 --> 02:33:38.220 Everyone uses Windows therefore microsoft wins by default thing that worked for you so well 02:33:38.940 --> 02:33:43.340 And just make money off a zoo or and make money off office three six five business subscriptions 02:33:43.340 --> 02:33:48.540 Whatever because every single freaking person in the world is using uh Windows because everyone has these cheap laptops 02:33:50.300 --> 02:33:54.300 And because if you don't do that everyone's just gonna get macbooks because they're 02:33:54.940 --> 02:33:59.260 For a business, you know, their businesses aren't going to do the student discount thing for a business 02:33:59.260 --> 02:34:04.620 There's 600 bucks and if they run pretty good a lot of users would love to have macbooks 02:34:07.980 --> 02:34:09.980 Anyways 02:34:11.100 --> 02:34:16.140 We're reviewing right now our our subscription software at at work and 02:34:16.860 --> 02:34:22.140 We've been running into the like Okay, well, it's incredibly uncomfortable 02:34:22.220 --> 02:34:26.060 but we're probably gonna have to make a choice finally between google workspace and and 02:34:26.780 --> 02:34:33.900 Microsoft And there's a lot of pushback in each direction. I think if I could speak for them most of the it team 02:34:34.060 --> 02:34:39.180 Kind of wants to lean towards the microsoft route. Um, I think from an it perspective it's 02:34:41.420 --> 02:34:44.540 Easier and better for them I 02:34:44.540 --> 02:34:47.980 viciously hate teams sorry 02:34:47.980 --> 02:34:54.860 Sorry, we'd be ditching teams. Are we talking about ditching teams? We're talking about ditching something either google workspace or 02:34:55.580 --> 02:34:57.820 Office 365 which includes teams 02:34:58.620 --> 02:35:04.140 Um, because each one of these are massive very expensive contracts. I'm trying to save you tons of money 02:35:04.380 --> 02:35:10.380 Is ultimately what's going on. Oh, I'm I'm very aware. Yeah, so we're trying to figure out one of them if we ditch 02:35:11.260 --> 02:35:20.620 365 The like popular tech bro route is to use slack and google workspace, but slack is so expensive 02:35:21.580 --> 02:35:26.620 Yeah, which sucks and people are saying matter most just you know, you can talk to each other if you want 02:35:26.940 --> 02:35:32.380 Um, it's so it's it's it's this thing, but there is the curveball 02:35:32.700 --> 02:35:37.260 I didn't I said I didn't believe them. I didn't believe them for a year. I said on when I didn't believe them 02:35:37.420 --> 02:35:42.780 I was at google and saw people's laptops. They actually use chat 02:35:44.540 --> 02:35:51.340 They actually just use google chat Are we going to go full circle and go back to so it's we're trying to figure out 02:35:51.500 --> 02:35:57.660 We're trying to figure out. Do we go to chat and hangouts? Do we go to chat and hangouts and google workspace? 02:35:59.100 --> 02:36:01.980 Keeping our like insane pile 02:36:02.620 --> 02:36:05.740 of Things that are in google drive. Yeah 02:36:06.380 --> 02:36:11.900 Yeah, so do we honestly even though I hate teams honestly probably sacrifice in the chat department? 02:36:12.860 --> 02:36:17.500 Yeah, and Still have to have some people like the accounting teams. They're still going to need 02:36:17.820 --> 02:36:23.820 Stripped down licenses for microsoft so they can have things like excel. They just need excel excel is just the best at what it does 02:36:24.460 --> 02:36:30.460 I I dog on a ton of microsoft things, but local desktop excel is just unassailable as far as I can tell at this point 02:36:30.700 --> 02:36:35.580 So they just need excel some of the teams might need excel people that need excel will have a license that gets them excel 02:36:35.980 --> 02:36:38.860 Uh, but we don't mess around with too much other stuff or do we go the other route? 02:36:39.580 --> 02:36:44.060 And keep teams. Yeah, but have to migrate all of this stuff out of google drive 02:36:44.620 --> 02:36:47.900 You're gonna have to you're gonna have to find my google docs from my cold dead hands 02:36:47.900 --> 02:36:51.340 See, this is this is the thing is for people like you 02:36:51.420 --> 02:36:57.500 I think it would be easier to go the google route, but for other people it might be easier to go the other route and 02:37:03.340 --> 02:37:07.660 It's rough because both of these companies their subscriptions are going Whoop 02:37:07.660 --> 02:37:12.780 Because they're trying to bundle AI stuff and make us you can't really get out of those contracts that include AI 02:37:12.860 --> 02:37:19.100 They're just starting to include AI by default and then cranking the price because of it and like all this crap is getting really expensive 02:37:19.660 --> 02:37:24.940 Um, also, I think because there was like some unlimited data loophole thing or something 02:37:25.180 --> 02:37:30.540 But back in the day you guys signed up for a pricey google workspace subscription 02:37:31.020 --> 02:37:37.900 Um, so there is a way that we could actually like half basically the google workspace subscription 02:37:38.940 --> 02:37:43.340 And that was because we were using it for cloud backup and then nobody ever cancelled it, I guess. Yep 02:37:43.980 --> 02:37:48.940 Uh, so we were probably just gonna for one video. That was it's we think that it's still there 02:37:49.260 --> 02:37:52.780 Uh, so we're very likely going to drop there's other things we would lose though 02:37:53.020 --> 02:37:57.020 Like that way that we figured out that email issue that you had we would like lose that 02:37:57.100 --> 02:38:00.780 Um, so there there are things but we've only ever used that twice 02:38:01.340 --> 02:38:07.660 There was one for a document security thing A while ago that you are aware of that i'm not going to go into details for 02:38:08.140 --> 02:38:15.820 Um, that I would have needed that tier for And there was uh your email thing those are like the only two things I can remember that we that's pretty good though 02:38:16.300 --> 02:38:19.340 It is but those are the only two times we've ever really used it 02:38:20.140 --> 02:38:23.740 and it's like 30k a year or something so 02:38:24.620 --> 02:38:27.420 Jebus you might you might want to just drop it 02:38:27.980 --> 02:38:34.380 um And i'm not gonna lie. We do need to we do need to look at our expenses 02:38:34.460 --> 02:38:40.940 I mean, I've been I think I've been very very clear internally and you know talking to the audience on wanshow 02:38:41.340 --> 02:38:43.980 That we don't operate in the same environment 02:38:44.700 --> 02:38:49.180 That we used to and we're gonna have to find some efficiency 02:38:49.740 --> 02:38:56.380 Um, I don't know if you saw this luke probably not because you don't stare at the the views dashboard as obsessively as I do 02:38:56.460 --> 02:39:03.100 But over the last little while the last like week or so we've had quite a few releases closer to like our old daily cadence and 02:39:03.580 --> 02:39:06.620 Um, a handful of them actually like performed quite well 02:39:07.180 --> 02:39:11.180 And the the channel was just like going and then we had one day that we didn't upload 02:39:11.900 --> 02:39:18.300 And the overnight dip which was something that I would look at traditionally in order to determine what the kind of like 02:39:18.620 --> 02:39:24.780 The background Viewership is you know, aside from your your new release like your hottest new video 02:39:25.980 --> 02:39:32.220 Dipped below what it was before we had a bunch of like good performing videos over the last little while 02:39:32.940 --> 02:39:35.420 so the the just like background 02:39:35.980 --> 02:39:41.020 Vaude viewership of The library of content that we've produced over the years 02:39:41.580 --> 02:39:48.620 is just going down As people's interest in the tech hobby wanes and we can see this with like, uh, 02:39:49.580 --> 02:39:57.500 google, um What's the search relevancy tool again? So we're asking if his feet is like I think that's just him being 02:39:57.980 --> 02:40:04.380 There's like there's like half a second of there in back time. He's literally across the planet 02:40:04.620 --> 02:40:07.820 It's I've been pretty happy with the stream so far. Sorry keep going 02:40:08.860 --> 02:40:16.460 Yeah doing our best And also as youtube, uh, emphasizes shorts more and more and more 02:40:17.020 --> 02:40:23.980 It's just uh, the the the back catalog and the competition increases for for people's eyeballs 02:40:24.620 --> 02:40:27.260 Those those back catalog videos are just not 02:40:28.220 --> 02:40:35.420 Getting any views anymore Oh, wow. No, I'm getting like really choppy now. Uh, oh it'll self-rex flight 02:40:35.420 --> 02:40:39.020 Anyway, the point is that we're gonna have to find some we're gonna have to find some 02:40:39.580 --> 02:40:43.500 Efficiency Thankfully, we are pretty well diversified 02:40:44.140 --> 02:40:51.100 We, you know, we have the creator warehouse, uh, LTT Store team. Oh, oh good lord. Is my voice okay at least 02:40:52.300 --> 02:40:54.300 Getting some robot, but your voice is fine 02:40:55.980 --> 02:41:05.820 Okay, cool, that's great Um, so yeah, if we could lose one of these subscriptions, I would find it extremely hilarious if we ultimately went full circle back to freaking 02:41:06.620 --> 02:41:09.020 Uh hangouts whatever they call it now 02:41:09.660 --> 02:41:15.340 Yeah, I I don't know what we're going to do We we are probably going to do that subscription reduction thing 02:41:15.820 --> 02:41:20.700 But we need to really figure out all the different levels of impact and then make sure that people are okay with us 02:41:21.180 --> 02:41:24.460 You know, not actually having certain levels of tools 02:41:24.940 --> 02:41:27.740 Um, but it would save a ton of money. So it's probably worth it 02:41:28.060 --> 02:41:33.180 But we need to figure that out still and then After that that seems like just we should definitely 02:41:33.660 --> 02:41:36.780 AJ identified that and we should just like definitely look into that first 02:41:37.260 --> 02:41:40.220 But then we have basically until the end of the year 02:41:40.620 --> 02:41:44.060 Because there are such massive penalties to early cancellation 02:41:44.540 --> 02:41:48.220 um, we have basically till the end of the year to figure this out and 02:41:49.820 --> 02:41:55.100 When AJ pointed out like look the cancelate early cancellation fees are so bad. There's basically no point in doing so 02:41:55.660 --> 02:42:00.460 um And the contract renewals are basically at the end of the year. It was like, okay 02:42:02.620 --> 02:42:10.620 We have some time Because this is going to be insane and painful no matter what route we go. It will be bad. There is no like 02:42:11.420 --> 02:42:15.340 This is going to be a hard sell internally because there is no route without pain, but 02:42:16.300 --> 02:42:20.700 It will be a massive reduction in cost no matter what direction we go. So 02:42:21.820 --> 02:42:24.940 We're gonna kind of need a direction youtube and going in the direction of 02:42:25.580 --> 02:42:34.380 More and more shorts all the time They clearly aren't going to change course anytime soon because it turns out youtube makes more money from ads than disney paramount and warner bros 02:42:35.180 --> 02:42:40.780 combined According to research firm moffitt nathanson youtube earned 40.4 02:42:41.340 --> 02:42:47.660 billion in ad revenue while disney nbc paramount and warner bros earned 36.1 billion combined 02:42:48.620 --> 02:42:53.980 parent company alphabet confirmed last month that in 2025 youtube generated 60 02:42:54.620 --> 02:42:57.420 billion with a b in revenue 02:42:57.820 --> 02:43:03.260 Which still trails behind meta which generated 196.2 billion in ad revenue 02:43:03.660 --> 02:43:06.940 But uh, this isn't google versus meadow youtube. Yeah 02:43:07.900 --> 02:43:12.540 Yeah, not all of alphabet. That is pretty freaking incredible. And I think 02:43:13.740 --> 02:43:19.100 One of the most recent insights we've gotten into exactly how 02:43:20.060 --> 02:43:24.220 youtube is doing Revenue wise 02:43:24.300 --> 02:43:29.180 The female audience says hey, wait a minute Linus doesn't paramount own warner brothers now that that is still 02:43:29.820 --> 02:43:34.700 Happening that's still pending But but yes, the offer is in and I is 02:43:35.500 --> 02:43:41.660 Functionally accepted, but they are still operating today as separate companies until such time as the acquisition is complete 02:43:46.620 --> 02:43:51.500 So, um, yeah, I still have my only question for there we go 02:43:52.300 --> 02:43:54.700 Oh, am I gone? No. No, you're back. Cool 02:43:55.900 --> 02:44:02.780 Okay, my only question for youtube is when will it be enough and can you stop in gupifying the service? 02:44:03.420 --> 02:44:07.100 Because I heard they just added 30 second unskippable ads to tv's 02:44:08.620 --> 02:44:15.020 Will 30 seconds be enough for you? Are we just going to go all the way back to cable tv with like three minute ad breaks? 02:44:15.020 --> 02:44:22.380 Can we not? Please can we just not the honestly the ai slop content is getting to be too much 02:44:22.460 --> 02:44:24.860 We were talking before the show about how theo joe 02:44:25.660 --> 02:44:32.140 Um, which it might have been a joke might not have been but theo joe posted on twitter about like bro. I'm done. It's like 02:44:33.580 --> 02:44:37.340 Too much. I don't want to compete with like actual just junk 02:44:38.060 --> 02:44:40.060 And I run into it on the platform 02:44:41.180 --> 02:44:43.820 Decently often people with junk.

Let's talk about high sense. Oh my god 02:47:58.140 --> 02:48:05.180 Sammy just told me something I didn't know If you watch a lot of shorts on youtube the app defaults to a short when you open the app 02:48:05.900 --> 02:48:07.900 That is unhinged 02:48:10.780 --> 02:48:15.180 I didn't know that it kind of makes sense though I 02:48:15.580 --> 02:48:17.580 Don't even have the app installed anymore 02:48:19.420 --> 02:48:24.540 And see it shouldn't come to that dude It should not come to that but I got either of these things 02:48:24.540 --> 02:48:29.180 I got so tired of shorts that I actually uninstalled the app and I watched youtube on my phone through a browser now 02:48:30.540 --> 02:48:35.100 No, he says not even that if your last watched video is a short 02:48:35.820 --> 02:48:40.140 It will just launch a short 02:48:41.100 --> 02:48:43.100 Whoa 02:48:44.780 --> 02:48:47.420 This is nuts.

Um, I won't be able to screen share luke. Do you want to fire one of those up? 02:49:32.140 --> 02:49:36.140 So I was reading something else for a second. Which one is this?

This is translated by google translate 02:50:22.700 --> 02:50:28.380 The question for me and Whenever a company uses this as an excuse is why are you testing that? 02:50:29.340 --> 02:50:33.980 You know, yeah, it's like it's like do you think that 02:50:34.300 --> 02:50:40.780 Do you think that that would I don't know i'm in i'm in korea So I got korea on the brain, but do you think that if the north koreans, you know 02:50:41.500 --> 02:50:45.260 Did a nuclear test and everyone was like, yo, can you not? 02:50:45.980 --> 02:50:49.740 That you know don't don't build a nuclear program and they're like, well, I was just testing it 02:50:50.060 --> 02:50:54.700 You know, what what does that mean?

Here's my favorite one 02:51:35.020 --> 02:51:39.420 So they're they're on their like homepage thing you can see them navigate down to 02:51:41.100 --> 02:51:44.860 here just Wow 02:51:45.660 --> 02:51:49.500 And that that is a whole ass ad whole ad 02:51:51.500 --> 02:51:55.420 Whole ad rough Wild 02:51:55.420 --> 02:51:59.980 Dude, okay investment disclosure framework. Hear me out framework tv 02:52:00.780 --> 02:52:06.620 I'd be very interested actually. It just wasn't crap. I'd be super interested genuinely. Oh my goodness. Yeah 02:52:06.940 --> 02:52:13.740 What about a tv? That you could upgrade you could upgrade the processor in for like your google tv or whatever it is 02:52:14.140 --> 02:52:18.220 Or or it just had a little like nook that you could like put an apple tv in 02:52:18.780 --> 02:52:23.420 And then you could just configure the firmware of the tv to just launch your apple tv every time you 02:52:24.220 --> 02:52:28.460 You know what I mean? So black raven asks would it be a dumb tv or a smart tv? 02:52:28.940 --> 02:52:33.500 I would see it as I would see it as both. Yeah, kernel critic says that's just a tv with a dongle 02:52:33.500 --> 02:52:37.900 But but that's the thing is I wouldn't want to I personally like 02:52:38.700 --> 02:52:43.820 Using whatever it's called. I forget they've rebranded it a couple times whether it's Android tv or google tv or whatever it is 02:52:43.900 --> 02:52:46.060 I like google tv. It's pretty good. I like to use it 02:52:47.020 --> 02:52:51.660 But over time you get heavier media files or you know, whatever 02:52:51.740 --> 02:52:55.900 I might like to be able to upgrade the processor make it more responsive. Sometimes I like gaming on it 02:52:55.900 --> 02:52:58.860 There's a fun game bomb squad. That's really fun with a big group 02:52:59.580 --> 02:53:04.860 gaming on the tv Choice exactly ricky bobby choice. I want choice 02:53:05.340 --> 02:53:07.980 And so if somebody wants a stupid one 02:53:08.780 --> 02:53:12.780 Then yeah, have a stupid tv have a dumb tv and have it not do any of that stuff 02:53:13.180 --> 02:53:19.500 But I also want to have the option to do that and if there was anyone that I would trust to do it 02:53:20.380 --> 02:53:26.620 I think it'd be framework I think I I think I could trust them to not screw this up investment disclosure. Yeah, that'd be awesome 02:53:26.700 --> 02:53:34.060 I'm I'm pitching it. I'm pitching it right now No guarantees that they'll do it, of course. They're gonna be more expensive. They don't work for me 02:53:34.700 --> 02:53:37.740 Yep, and and they're uh, they're gonna be more expensive 02:53:37.900 --> 02:53:43.900 Even if they do make one like people have to realize that this crap is why is part of the reason why tv's are so cheap now 02:53:44.220 --> 02:53:46.220 because they're monetizing 02:53:47.660 --> 02:53:51.340 You're you know, I'm getting a lot of packet loss. Sorry guys 02:53:52.140 --> 02:53:57.020 Uh, I can maybe just do another topic while we wait for him. Let me see if there's something 02:53:57.180 --> 02:54:02.940 I can talk about slay the spire. I can talk about that for as long as you want. We'll wait for Linus to catch up here 02:54:03.500 --> 02:54:06.860 Um, uh, slay the spire to almost 02:54:07.580 --> 02:54:11.580 Beat silk songs record, which I don't even think it was gonna get quite that high 02:54:11.660 --> 02:54:15.660 But I'm very proud of them. Good job mega crit. I've played too much of your game 02:54:15.980 --> 02:54:22.460 Uh, the sequel to mega crit's 2019 hit record. Well, just called slay the spire to be clear. Uh, hit 02:54:23.180 --> 02:54:26.380 This one Hi, um hit 02:54:27.820 --> 02:54:34.780 They apparently recorded nearly 575,000 concurrent players after its early access release last week 02:54:34.860 --> 02:54:43.420 It's still in early access. I was you know, whatever Um, only about 12,000 players shy, which when you're at the scale of over half a million is not that much 02:54:43.740 --> 02:54:48.540 Of the indie record set by hollow knight silk song back in september of 02:54:50.780 --> 02:54:55.900 Last year really September. Yeah, it was that long ago. Yeah 02:54:57.660 --> 02:55:00.700 Wow I mean, I was gonna say it was 02:55:00.860 --> 02:55:10.780 It's not very long ago, but yes It's both. All right. Uh, the game already has more than 43,000 reviews on steam and is rated 02:55:11.580 --> 02:55:19.420 Overwhelmingly positive Yes, let's go exciting. Uh, have I been playing? I have played I played mostly on the plane 02:55:20.220 --> 02:55:26.460 To to and from florida, um, but I played a little bit since then too. It's a long flight 02:55:27.340 --> 02:55:30.380 It's a long flight. So I got a lot in there. Um, 02:55:31.180 --> 02:55:35.100 It's uh, it's good. I don't know if I 02:55:35.980 --> 02:55:39.340 Did you achieve your goal luke? I did when it was with every 02:55:41.180 --> 02:55:47.100 He's lagging to all heck, but he he asked did I I'm gonna I'm gonna take the self-bragg aliyup that he gave me 02:55:47.580 --> 02:55:53.020 He asked, uh, did you achieve your goal of being at once at least on every single character before we got back? 02:55:53.340 --> 02:55:59.020 Um, and I only played it on the plane and I tried not to be too antisocial and yes, I did like kind of 02:55:59.740 --> 02:56:05.180 Dan I think saw me do it like kind of as we were landing almost. Yeah, I think I finished the last run 02:56:05.260 --> 02:56:11.660 You were like, I did it. Yeah. I did it laptop close. All right. We're we're landing still having conversations the whole time 02:56:11.900 --> 02:56:14.620 Yeah, um, it's uh 02:56:15.420 --> 02:56:20.380 It's early access the original game went through a bunch of balancing over time 02:56:20.860 --> 02:56:25.420 I think it definitely needs more balancing work. Um in oh right. I'm looking over here now 02:56:25.980 --> 02:56:32.220 In in my opinion, it still needs more work, but the the bones feel really good in my opinion 02:56:32.620 --> 02:56:37.500 Um, I don't actually care too much that there's like animations now and stuff 02:56:37.980 --> 02:56:42.380 Um, it looks nice. It just doesn't really mean much to me. Um 02:56:43.420 --> 02:56:47.260 But the the bones are really cool the new necromancer characters like one of my favorite ones 02:56:47.660 --> 02:56:51.980 I'm not super happy about the current state of silent, which is generally my favorite character 02:56:52.860 --> 02:56:55.660 So I'm hoping there's some rebalancing stuff that happens there 02:56:56.220 --> 02:56:59.900 Um, but yeah, we'll see we'll have to see what they do over the course of the early access 02:56:59.980 --> 02:57:04.060 And then what they do after the fact like slayers fire one if I remember correctly 02:57:04.060 --> 02:57:10.540 I I think it was like released before defect even came into the game. I'm not I'm not sure when it was technically out 02:57:10.940 --> 02:57:13.420 Um, and then watcher came after as well 02:57:13.980 --> 02:57:18.620 Um, the difficulty floor is so much higher than sts one. That's interesting. It feels 02:57:19.500 --> 02:57:24.300 Just actually easier to me um 02:57:25.020 --> 02:57:30.140 But I've been I've been really interested in what the community thinks about the the difficulty of the game there 02:57:30.220 --> 02:57:32.700 I have found that there are more 02:57:33.820 --> 02:57:36.540 Like kind of just I run into a mechanic and I'm just like 02:57:37.260 --> 02:57:41.580 Like the I think it's called the time eater and slayers fire one one of the act three bosses 02:57:41.820 --> 02:57:47.020 It's just super annoying because if you played a lot of cards, then it just hard directly counters you 02:57:47.420 --> 02:57:51.740 And almost all my favorite decks on almost every character was just play a crazy amount of cards 02:57:52.220 --> 02:57:55.500 um So it's really annoying to run into time eater 02:57:55.580 --> 02:58:01.180 And now I find that there's more like time eater style enemies where it's like ha ha 02:58:01.580 --> 02:58:08.460 You decided to build your deck that way. I guess you have a bad time now and I don't love that so much 02:58:08.940 --> 02:58:16.540 um Again the balance isn't so obscure as well. Yeah, um, all right. Sorry. Everyone calls it expedition 33 where it's like 02:58:16.620 --> 02:58:23.180 Oh You are not built in this exact way. Therefore your your break damage 02:58:23.740 --> 02:58:29.100 is Too low and you can beat this boss, but you will have to grind 02:58:30.620 --> 02:58:34.940 It will take you forever Like there's an end boss called the queen 02:58:35.420 --> 02:58:40.140 um And I haven't read a bunch of like other people's opinions on size bar two yet 02:58:40.220 --> 02:58:45.900 But I read one thread because I was like to other people. I heard that one was super. Thanks for asking 02:58:46.700 --> 02:58:50.860 I It's an old reference 02:58:51.500 --> 02:58:57.980 I don't get it But uh, yeah, I was like, I wonder what other people think about this like horribly difficult boss 02:58:57.980 --> 02:59:03.660 And I honestly thought all the other act three bosses were like so easy that they might as well been like elites or not even that hard 02:59:03.900 --> 02:59:08.460 And then the queen is just like this horrifying mess of destroy my everything 02:59:08.780 --> 02:59:11.580 And then I read online that everyone's like wow, that's the easiest one 02:59:12.380 --> 02:59:18.860 Um And I don't know what's going on. So I might not have opinions that line up with other people 02:59:19.260 --> 02:59:22.300 um, I also find that Or sorry 02:59:22.300 --> 02:59:27.260 I also saw on that thread that apparently people were saying that the queen punishes hyper optimized decks 02:59:27.580 --> 02:59:34.380 And if you just like grab cards for fun And your deck isn't like built around a certain system that you have an easier time with it 02:59:34.620 --> 02:59:37.260 And I tend to try to make optimized decks 02:59:37.660 --> 02:59:42.060 But then that's it runs into the same problem where it's like especially when you're running on really high difficulty 02:59:42.700 --> 02:59:48.940 You're probably going to want optimized decks.

Um 03:04:59.420 --> 03:05:03.740 All right Let's jump into 03:05:03.740 --> 03:05:09.340 Sony appears to be experimenting with dynamic ab pricing on the playstation store 03:05:10.060 --> 03:05:17.180 PlayStation store price trackers at ps prices.com had been following dynamic ab pricing experiments since late last year 03:05:17.500 --> 03:05:22.940 Where sony has shown users varying discounts of up to 27.8 percent 03:05:23.340 --> 03:05:30.860 The experiment has lasted over four months and included over 190 games in over 70 regions including the us 03:05:31.580 --> 03:05:39.660 affected titles have included Developers like sony 2k games focus entertainment deep silver Bethesda rockstar and 03:05:40.140 --> 03:05:46.700 Ubisoft our discussion question here is our deep discounts coming to consoles and what I don't think that's 03:05:47.340 --> 03:05:49.500 the more important discussion question is 03:05:50.380 --> 03:05:57.260 Dynamic pricing. Can we not infect absolutely everything with this? Can we just have the price be the price? 03:05:57.820 --> 03:06:01.420 Like yeah, I don't think this is deep discounts coming to consoles. I think this is 03:06:02.460 --> 03:06:08.060 Uh trying to Extract as much possible dollars from each possible person you can 03:06:08.780 --> 03:06:14.700 By like tracking what things they might like and might not like and making sure that there is optimal amounts of discounts 03:06:14.700 --> 03:06:19.420 Applied to each individual person so that you can extract as many dollars as possible at any given time 03:06:20.060 --> 03:06:26.140 um This is super bad. This is just a bad mro mutt says 03:06:26.220 --> 03:06:29.420 I was about to say dynamic pricing on a digital store is pure evil 03:06:29.660 --> 03:06:36.700 But if it's just discounts i'm not as upset, but that's the thing everything is dynamic discounts are just dynamic pricing 03:06:38.380 --> 03:06:40.380 yuck 03:06:42.300 --> 03:06:49.580 Yeah You could kind of consider that everything is a million dollars with a certain amount of discount applied to it 03:06:49.900 --> 03:06:52.780 Like it's the the original sounds like best buy doesn't matter 03:06:55.180 --> 03:07:00.780 Oh my god Have you seen some of the uh, some of the stuff people are sharing about best buys compare at feature? 03:07:01.020 --> 03:07:05.420 We already talked about it a couple weeks ago. I think it was so we don't have to go through the whole thing 03:07:05.500 --> 03:07:08.300 But people are posting some unhinged 03:07:09.420 --> 03:07:15.740 Comparisons like I think there was someone bought open box uh air pods or something like that and the compare at was to brand new air pods 03:07:15.820 --> 03:07:22.940 It's like, okay. Yeah, sure That's that's how that works. I think that's what I saw 350 dollars of savings 03:07:24.380 --> 03:07:27.740 gross cool, um 03:07:28.140 --> 03:07:31.740 In other news that's gross meta has acquired 03:07:32.060 --> 03:07:37.900 Molt book the social media platform for ai agents bringing the company's founders 03:07:38.460 --> 03:07:43.100 Matt schlickst and ben par into meta's ai research division 03:07:44.060 --> 03:07:52.300 Um schlickst says he built molt book without writing a single line of code relying instead on his personal ai assistant claud clauderberg 03:07:53.180 --> 03:07:55.180 Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed 03:07:59.020 --> 03:08:05.980 Our discussion question is Does whatever research benefit we might gain from ai agents sending each other pictures of their lunches 03:08:06.380 --> 03:08:14.300 outweigh the cost and natural resources Thank you, jordan for asking such a leading question with such an obvious answer 03:08:16.380 --> 03:08:24.860 In other fun ai news amazon's ai coding tools linked to outages as internal documents reveal push for senior sign-off on generated ai code 03:08:25.420 --> 03:08:33.580 After a six hour amazon.com outage and multiple aws incidents internal documents seen by the financial times show amazon 03:08:33.980 --> 03:08:37.500 uh, senior vice president dave treadwell calling out a 03:08:38.060 --> 03:08:43.660 trend of incidents tied to gen ai assisted changes with a high blast radius 03:08:44.060 --> 03:08:48.300 And pushing for senior engineer sign-off on ai assisted code changes 03:08:48.940 --> 03:08:53.580 amazon disputes the framing saying only one incident was ai related 03:08:53.900 --> 03:08:58.300 None involved ai written code and the sign-off requirement isn't being formally mandated 03:08:59.660 --> 03:09:05.180 The last part Okay, uh the aws incidents that's not the win you think it is 03:09:05.180 --> 03:09:11.260 Yeah, the aws incidents included a 13 hour outage caused by amazon's own 03:09:11.820 --> 03:09:15.900 Kiro ai coding tool deleting and recreating an entire 03:09:16.700 --> 03:09:21.980 Environment which amazon attributed to user error rather than ai itself everything can be 03:09:23.260 --> 03:09:26.780 And in a lot of ways fair enough, but that's why you need the sign-off thing, right 03:09:27.180 --> 03:09:30.620 Uh discussion question amazon's own internal memo blamed ai tools 03:09:30.780 --> 03:09:36.860 But the company's pr team is saying it's the opposite. Who do you believe uh the internal memo internal memo for sure 03:09:37.820 --> 03:09:41.900 100 of the time to be clear internal memos can be bs 03:09:42.620 --> 03:09:46.940 Yeah, but when i'm comparing it to a pr statement, it's going to be the internal memo 03:09:47.500 --> 03:09:51.820 100 of the time. Yeah, it's not corporate popular right now to be like no no no the 03:09:52.460 --> 03:09:57.500 The ai tools are bad for sure. Don't use ours. They have problems. That's not it's not going to go well right now 03:09:58.460 --> 03:10:05.340 Ah Silicon valley like the tv show was just so far ahead like 03:10:07.580 --> 03:10:12.300 It feels like uh It feels like it feels so 03:10:13.420 --> 03:10:16.620 Accurate that it's it's almost creepy at this point 03:10:17.980 --> 03:10:22.300 Yeah, um Yeah 03:10:22.300 --> 03:10:25.820 I don't know how to deal with it like it's it's it's gone full circle 03:10:26.780 --> 03:10:35.980 from like So Outlander or so true to life that it's funny to so true to life that it's not funny anymore. Yeah 03:10:36.940 --> 03:10:40.540 Wet melan says I work at a silicon valley company. I still haven't seen it lol 03:10:40.620 --> 03:10:48.460 I should really get around to that you really Really should if you've ever been anywhere near a startup or a big tech company. It is 03:10:49.260 --> 03:10:52.860 So funny like I don't understand how it's that 03:10:53.820 --> 03:10:58.940 Just how it captures the real experience and yet manages to 03:11:00.460 --> 03:11:04.940 Be funny And not just depressing. It's it's so good 03:11:06.300 --> 03:11:12.140 Inside out dude. I actually have only I've not seen the entire run I think I've only seen the first three seasons. I like bought them on blu-ray 03:11:12.380 --> 03:11:15.500 I binge the first season with austin evans randomly enough 03:11:16.220 --> 03:11:19.660 Really? Yeah, it was great. Nice. I'm hanging out. Um 03:11:19.900 --> 03:11:24.780 Um Nintendo is suing the u.s. Government over tariffs 03:11:25.420 --> 03:11:32.060 Uh, nintendo is seeking a full refund with interest of tariffs that paid under the IEPA 03:11:32.860 --> 03:11:40.700 Order signed by president trump After the supreme court struck these orders or sorry multiple orders struck these orders down in february 03:11:41.260 --> 03:11:48.380 Over a thousand companies including cosco and fedex have filed similar suits with a judge already ruling that they are in fact 03:11:48.540 --> 03:11:55.180 Entitled to refunds nintendo's lawsuit has since been automatically paused pending the outcome of a 03:11:56.460 --> 03:11:59.580 broader supreme court case covering all similar claims 03:12:00.860 --> 03:12:08.060 um Trump has since announced plans to reimpose tariffs through section 122 of the trade act of 1974 03:12:08.300 --> 03:12:11.500 Which is a more legally constrained method and has two dozen states 03:12:12.060 --> 03:12:17.420 Over two dozen states already suing over that move as well. Here's the thing that i'm 03:12:18.140 --> 03:12:23.980 going to just Come out and say i'm finding a little bit confusing about all of this 03:12:26.700 --> 03:12:28.700 I have 03:12:30.700 --> 03:12:36.620 Paid through companies that i am either sole owner or or partner owner 03:12:37.500 --> 03:12:45.580 A lot of money in tariffs for products that we have imported or exported into the united states 03:12:46.380 --> 03:12:52.140 um There is a part of me that would obviously love to have that money back 03:12:52.380 --> 03:12:56.300 I i'm pretty sure it's like over a million dollars like a lot of money 03:12:56.380 --> 03:13:03.580 We sell we sell a lot of goods on lttstore.com. It's a good store with great products people love them and uh businesses has been 03:13:04.620 --> 03:13:10.620 Okay, um, you know, there's a lot of headwinds right now every every all hands you hear taren use the word headwinds 03:13:11.420 --> 03:13:17.980 But but overall, you know, we've been we've we've diversified the team has uh worked hard. We're we're doing stuff 03:13:18.060 --> 03:13:26.940 You know, we're we're getting it done And so with that volume of business, there's been a lot of money that has gone towards tariffs 03:13:28.620 --> 03:13:32.940 I'd love to have it back But here's the thing 03:13:34.620 --> 03:13:43.820 I believe Not I believe it's it's just I believe it is a fact there. I'll say this that tariffs are in fact a consumer tax 03:13:45.180 --> 03:13:49.980 so Why would I get the refund? 03:13:51.660 --> 03:13:54.220 So here's what i'm kind of trying to understand 03:13:54.780 --> 03:13:58.380 And I know that for someone like nintendo or cosco, right? 03:13:59.260 --> 03:14:05.740 They have made the argument Especially cosco. I don't actually know that nintendo is making this argument, but I know that cosco made the argument 03:14:06.220 --> 03:14:08.220 That they held their pricing steady 03:14:09.260 --> 03:14:15.820 right In or and they absorbed the tariffs because they believed that they would be able to sue 03:14:16.380 --> 03:14:25.260 For the tariff money back and that would make them whole eventually. I mean, you know minus interest obviously an opportunity cost and whatever else, right? 03:14:26.140 --> 03:14:30.540 um But in the current climate 03:14:31.740 --> 03:14:41.740 Where will we find the nuance To differentiate between a company like cosco who claims right and I would tend to believe cosco 03:14:41.740 --> 03:14:48.300 They've operated with pretty strong integrity over the years who claims that they 03:14:49.020 --> 03:14:55.020 ate the cost Compared to other companies who passed the cost along to consumers 03:14:55.980 --> 03:14:58.540 And then we'll basically be taking back free money 03:15:00.140 --> 03:15:03.660 How do we differentiate that how do you prove that? 03:15:03.820 --> 03:15:07.980 I have no idea. I think that's part of their argument actually is they they haven't started this stuff 03:15:07.980 --> 03:15:14.460 And if I remember correctly the nintendo suit is already paused and I think the big part of that reason is because they're saying it's just too 03:15:14.860 --> 03:15:19.660 Complicated, so we're gonna have to see where that goes I also think like 03:15:20.140 --> 03:15:23.500 I think as far as my understanding goes we tried to keep prices down for 03:15:24.140 --> 03:15:29.500 Americans so that would partially include us so maybe there needs to be just a refund in both directions 03:15:30.380 --> 03:15:34.380 ours was complicated Some products some things 03:15:35.260 --> 03:15:39.660 And I'm sure that almost everyone is probably kind of like us. Yeah 03:15:40.700 --> 03:15:46.940 Because it was so volatile and at times there was a tariff one day and then there was like, oh forget it the next day and 03:15:47.420 --> 03:15:51.820 And it was just it was chaos There were times when we just ate it 03:15:52.540 --> 03:15:56.620 there were other times where we went to our suppliers and 03:15:57.340 --> 03:16:01.020 We worked with them to to to manage margins 03:16:01.580 --> 03:16:08.700 Across the board. So they would take a small hit We would take a small hit and we'd make a small adjustment to pricing 03:16:08.940 --> 03:16:14.380 So everybody's taking a small hit the consumer us and our manufacturers 03:16:15.580 --> 03:16:20.300 Then there were the times when we just we had to we just had to increase pricing 03:16:21.100 --> 03:16:30.300 So we've done all of them So what's the right thing to do? There's also uh, I don't want to say this name, but someone in full playing chat said 03:16:30.620 --> 03:16:34.460 Yeah, so what about companies that raised global pricing to subsidize Americans? 03:16:35.180 --> 03:16:42.380 Which did also happen. That's tough. You can't really solve that. Where's the refund for european xbox buyers? Yeah 03:16:43.500 --> 03:16:50.380 It's not happening So basically this is the this is the dumbest possible outcome 03:16:51.180 --> 03:16:55.900 because The u.s taxpayer gets nothing for all of it 03:16:58.060 --> 03:17:03.340 The u.s government gets nothing for all of it. It's like the least surprising because they don't get any of the money 03:17:03.580 --> 03:17:05.580 just funnel more money the rich 03:17:07.260 --> 03:17:12.300 And are we really just going to give a refund to the corporations who 03:17:13.420 --> 03:17:17.020 You know what? From my point of view we're we're dramatically 03:17:17.260 --> 03:17:22.380 Inconvenienced by this whole thing and it did affect our it did affect our revenue and it did affect our profit 03:17:22.380 --> 03:17:26.220 It wasn't just inconvenience. This was a serious problem 03:17:27.260 --> 03:17:33.420 With the money that was charged and also the haphazard way that the whole thing was implemented and messaged 03:17:33.820 --> 03:17:35.820 It it burned 03:17:37.020 --> 03:17:39.580 Countless cycles and a ton of money for us 03:17:41.420 --> 03:17:45.900 Like the whole thing just is looking even 03:17:45.980 --> 03:17:49.580 Dumber and like an even stupider more useless 03:17:50.620 --> 03:17:53.820 Crap outcome than I even could have predicted and I was 03:17:54.620 --> 03:17:58.300 Pretty opposed to the whole thing in the first place for fairly obvious reasons 03:17:59.100 --> 03:18:03.660 just wild So dumb did you hear about? 03:18:03.900 --> 03:18:07.900 a government Affiliated official that's been running around 03:18:08.860 --> 03:18:14.060 selling Are basically buying companies tariff 03:18:15.020 --> 03:18:17.500 Uh refunds for like pennies on the dollar. Yeah 03:18:18.140 --> 03:18:21.180 Yeah, corruption in plain sight boys. It's been it's been 03:18:21.740 --> 03:18:26.380 I think he's a dude in like the financial part of the government as well 03:18:26.380 --> 03:18:30.780 Like I think he might have uh some amount of influence over if this is even happening 03:18:31.580 --> 03:18:36.060 um Is it say so wait say the name again 03:18:36.860 --> 03:18:40.060 I was it's got bessen. Yeah, I thought it was him. Um 03:18:40.620 --> 03:18:46.860 I can't remember Lottnick. No, Lottnick. There we go. Isn't he still in finance stuff? Anyways 03:18:47.820 --> 03:18:50.940 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you know, so the whole thing is commerce 03:18:51.420 --> 03:18:53.820 So like the a person doing finance stuff 03:18:54.540 --> 03:18:57.180 Who like is going to have a lot of influence. I just 03:18:59.820 --> 03:19:04.380 Anyways, let's go man. Let's get through this. We got a couple more to go. I need to get into after dark here 03:19:04.380 --> 03:19:08.220 This is getting brutal Um 03:19:08.220 --> 03:19:11.740 BYD reveals charging network in world's longest range EV 03:19:12.220 --> 03:19:15.260 Chinese automaker BYD has reportedly been testing a 03:19:16.140 --> 03:19:20.540 1500 kilowatt hour flash charging network in shenzhen that is capable of adding 03:19:21.580 --> 03:19:24.220 249 miles of EV range in five 03:19:25.340 --> 03:19:32.460 minutes That means this network is more than three times faster than the ultra rapid chargers that currently exist in north america and europe 03:19:32.860 --> 03:19:37.500 The test hub uses liquid cooled charging guns, which just sounds awesome 03:19:38.860 --> 03:19:45.020 That allow users to roll up plug in and handle payment on either the infotainment or an Android app 03:19:45.420 --> 03:19:52.220 The pricing at the demo site was about 18 cents per kilowatt hour making a charging session about 15 bucks 03:19:52.620 --> 03:20:00.460 Meanwhile in america cyber trucks currently handle the highest charging speeds with peaks at around 500 kilowatt hours 03:20:00.540 --> 03:20:03.260 So a third if the claim is real 03:20:03.980 --> 03:20:12.620 BYD's luxury brand denza also teased their new z 9 gts uv with 644 miles of range 03:20:12.940 --> 03:20:17.500 A 64 improvement from the current z 9 gt models 03:20:18.220 --> 03:20:22.140 391 mile range, which is priced at around 50,000 03:20:22.860 --> 03:20:27.580 usd It is worth noting that the chinese 03:20:28.300 --> 03:20:31.900 range estimates are are not as 03:20:33.660 --> 03:20:36.140 As difficult as the epa 03:20:37.100 --> 03:20:42.300 us ones, so there's a bit of translation that'll have to go on there, but that is still 03:20:43.660 --> 03:20:50.380 Freaking wild. That's an enormous range for for an SUV. It's not a big suv. I don't think 03:20:51.820 --> 03:20:55.500 Trying to see like how what would this do it looks more model y or model x? 03:20:55.980 --> 03:21:00.940 It actually looks amazing. This is the z 9. I decided I'll just look it up. But like that 03:21:01.740 --> 03:21:03.740 $50,000 car dude like 03:21:04.860 --> 03:21:12.380 I'm so stoked on being able to get BYD soon, dude. Yeah, they're gonna disappear. They're gonna sell out instantaneously 03:21:13.180 --> 03:21:17.820 There's I think it's 50,000 cars that they're in total allowed to bring in. They're just all gonna disappear 03:21:20.060 --> 03:21:23.260 Looks like that inside 952 brake horsepower 03:21:26.140 --> 03:21:33.900 952 Looks like that inside looks like this outside and it's 50k. You think those aren't gonna instantly disappear in canada? 03:21:33.980 --> 03:21:40.060 People are gonna buy those immediately 950 is that a joke? Linus, how much how much do you Porsche got? 03:21:41.500 --> 03:21:48.860 Ah I can see the video. I can see the video now. Nothing has that much. I can see the video now. I bought a new car 03:21:50.220 --> 03:21:54.780 Linus Sebastian 400 03:21:54.940 --> 03:22:00.540 The the 2023 I can't remember if I have a 2022 or 2023, but they should be the same power 03:22:01.020 --> 03:22:07.100 The 2023 Taycan turbo s 750 to 616 horsepower 03:22:07.820 --> 03:22:11.340 Which increases with launch control to 750 03:22:12.780 --> 03:22:19.020 So this suv would have substantially more horsepower than my stupid 03:22:19.660 --> 03:22:27.340 Taycan Ridiculous, I really like absolutely ridiculous on their dash. I really like kind of how they laid this out 03:22:27.340 --> 03:22:31.660 I know I know there's like other EVs with this to be very very clear. It looks like they have dual 03:22:32.220 --> 03:22:37.180 um Wireless charging pads for phones. I think passenger and driver 03:22:37.740 --> 03:22:40.620 And then I like that just in front of the wheel is actually quite simple 03:22:42.220 --> 03:22:45.340 Um, there are there are lots of other EVs that do that as well 03:22:45.340 --> 03:22:48.540 But sometimes they get a little bit too busy right in front of the wheel and I don't like that 03:22:49.500 --> 03:22:51.500 Keep the infotainment in the middle 03:22:53.900 --> 03:22:55.900 Damn 03:22:58.620 --> 03:23:04.700 Uh youtube is expanding their AI deep fake detection to include politicians government officials and journalists 03:23:05.180 --> 03:23:10.860 That's it. That's all that I really have to say about that. They say they'll still protect parody and satire 03:23:11.420 --> 03:23:14.940 Um that involves these public figures, but yeah, this is this is a good thing 03:23:15.420 --> 03:23:23.100 And they should they should do deep fake detection more and just generally AI detection more and not less 03:23:23.580 --> 03:23:30.860 Also after complaints google will make it easier to disable generative AI search in photos including a toggle for fast classic search 03:23:32.300 --> 03:23:35.660 Nice Nice now what I want to know is where's my good 03:23:36.700 --> 03:23:42.540 fast non AI gmail search Dude, I had a wild interaction with gmail search the other day 03:23:42.620 --> 03:23:46.700 Where I looked for a keyword that I knew for sure was in something recent 03:23:47.260 --> 03:23:52.460 And it wouldn't bring it up It only brought up like one page of results even though there should have been like hundreds of emails with this common word 03:23:52.860 --> 03:23:56.300 And I actually had to use for the first time the gemini 03:23:56.700 --> 03:23:59.660 Gmail search in order to find it and it found it immediately 03:24:00.380 --> 03:24:03.340 But I was just so annoyed with that workflow 03:24:03.740 --> 03:24:08.540 Just just find the word if the email contains the word bring up the email 03:24:08.940 --> 03:24:12.940 How complicated is this google was good at this 10 years ago? Why do they suck at it now? 03:24:13.980 --> 03:24:17.980 All right, I don't exactly shop for cars too often 03:24:18.860 --> 03:24:25.100 But this is cool, man.

My metabolism used to be like 03:27:32.140 --> 03:27:35.580 hyper Now I just I just can't um 03:27:36.220 --> 03:27:40.860 But like oh man.

Oh, yeah 03:27:50.780 --> 03:28:00.780 Oh, just like uh Uh, uh, I'll make let I have eaten in one sitting continuously as many as three packs 03:28:01.900 --> 03:28:05.980 Plus eggs just like nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom after midnight 03:28:06.860 --> 03:28:12.460 um I whoa, this is a bad one. I once ate, you know the dumpsters like 03:28:13.420 --> 03:28:17.100 Kind of like crappy white bread cinnamon raisin bread 03:28:18.380 --> 03:28:25.260 I once ate in one sitting in the middle of the night when I was like craving a midnight snack an entire loaf of it 03:28:26.380 --> 03:28:29.820 Piece by piece. Okay. Okay. I've got a butter. I've got one of those 03:28:29.980 --> 03:28:34.700 Entire loaf of butter. Damn. Okay. All right. Every slice. You might still have me then 03:28:34.940 --> 03:28:39.580 Uh, my like diet when I used to work at the bread factory. So this would have been 03:28:40.540 --> 03:28:44.860 Not way too long before I met you to be honest. Um, yeah 03:28:45.740 --> 03:28:48.620 Was I would bring a can of stag chili to work 03:28:49.500 --> 03:28:55.580 um, and a bowl, but I wouldn't bring any utensils and uh, you know, statue limitations 03:28:55.580 --> 03:29:00.620 Whatever it's probably fine. Uh, they had this policy where like if there was a bag of ruined bread, you could just have it 03:29:01.260 --> 03:29:07.420 So a single bag of bread would just fly out of the facility for some reason and it'd be outside on the ground 03:29:07.420 --> 03:29:11.660 And that's ruined. So then I would eat stag chili with an entire loaf of bread 03:29:12.140 --> 03:29:20.300 And that would be my lunch like every time Um, so I would buy stag with like when my parents would go to Costco 03:29:20.620 --> 03:29:24.620 We'd get just tons of Costco stag chili packs. So they're super cheap 03:29:25.020 --> 03:29:30.860 And then the bread was free and that was my meal that was like I was effectively like one meal a day 03:29:31.420 --> 03:29:36.860 fasting Because I would eat a whole loaf of bread and a can of stag 03:29:37.420 --> 03:29:39.420 Just be like, yeah 03:29:43.980 --> 03:29:48.540 So I lived off that for like a while in terms of guilty pleasures, these are rare, but 03:29:49.420 --> 03:29:58.700 a uh, a long term LTT staple community person mape got me onto these but they're licorice from new zealand called rj's 03:29:59.340 --> 03:30:04.780 Um, and you can find them in stores every once in a while. Um, I know like 03:30:05.500 --> 03:30:08.140 Way back when we worked out of the langley house 03:30:09.100 --> 03:30:14.780 That there was like a grocery store that was near the corner store that was down the street 03:30:15.260 --> 03:30:19.260 I don't know the name of the grocery store, but that grocery store had it. Um 03:30:20.060 --> 03:30:23.180 Oh, what nesters Was it nesters? 03:30:23.180 --> 03:30:27.660 Oh, wait. Oh, I don't remember what grocery store that was. Yeah, I know I've been there 03:30:27.660 --> 03:30:31.820 I went there a few it was more expensive than the save on the save on was just down the hill 03:30:31.820 --> 03:30:34.940 So like I didn't go there that often but there's a couple times 03:30:36.060 --> 03:30:38.060 Um, I have so many more 03:30:40.060 --> 03:30:45.900 I mean, yeah another one that I I really like but I think this might be controversial actually is hawkins 03:30:46.380 --> 03:30:50.620 um Hawkins I've never tried that Hawkins 03:30:51.340 --> 03:30:54.860 cheezies I got a rifle here 03:30:58.140 --> 03:31:01.020 I must have spelled it wrong. Yeah Hawkins cheezies 03:31:01.740 --> 03:31:05.340 It's canadian brand Canadian made thing. Oh, yeah, okay 03:31:05.580 --> 03:31:09.420 Something that I really like is that the ingredients is like pretty chill 03:31:10.140 --> 03:31:15.340 Um, yeah, okay. Not about to say they're good for you. Not about to say they're low calorie 03:31:15.420 --> 03:31:21.100 I don't think they're necessarily either of those but the ingredients list is like relatively short and I can tell what's happening, which is 03:31:22.140 --> 03:31:26.460 neat But yeah, they're canadian 03:31:26.540 --> 03:31:33.660 Brand was Hawkins Yeah, well cheesy. Yeah cheezies with a zed and they're like they're normally the the crunchier 03:31:34.460 --> 03:31:39.340 Kind of like smaller ones. They're not the like big poofy ones. Not the poofs. Yeah, I don't like the poofs 03:31:39.980 --> 03:31:44.460 I like Hawkins That's another one. It's like it's pretty rare, but 03:31:46.060 --> 03:31:54.460 When they're around they're neat my My probably biggest guilty pleasure though has got to be breakfast cereal and I'm talking like like the sugar bombs 03:31:55.340 --> 03:31:57.820 Chocolate frosted sugar bombs type like nest quick 03:31:58.460 --> 03:32:02.780 Uh, honey nut checks. Oh gosh, cinnamon toast crunch. I would 03:32:04.060 --> 03:32:07.340 Something I'm I think I'm fairly lucky for is I liked those when I was a kid 03:32:07.340 --> 03:32:09.980 But now I I genuinely just prefer like muesli 03:32:11.340 --> 03:32:15.980 Like actually just really like it Especially you cut up some banana in it too like 03:32:19.180 --> 03:32:26.060 Um One of my worst ones I I didn't do it once this winter. I made it all the way through the winter without doing this 03:32:26.700 --> 03:32:30.620 But I uh, I will make a cup of hot chocolate 03:32:31.340 --> 03:32:34.380 And then I'll put probably about this much whipped cream on the top of it 03:32:35.100 --> 03:32:42.620 And then I'll get a spoon and I'll Dip it into the hot chocolate and they eat the whipped cream off the top and then I'll hit it again with whipped cream 03:32:43.820 --> 03:32:48.540 All the way down the cup I love whipped cream 03:32:48.860 --> 03:32:52.620 I think it's funny because you you usually eat like quite clean and then 03:32:53.580 --> 03:32:57.500 When when when you dive off the head you just go really hard 03:32:58.780 --> 03:33:01.980 Dude 100% 03:33:02.140 --> 03:33:07.500 100% and like for me as long as I can as long as I can pass a pinch test 03:33:08.540 --> 03:33:11.980 like I'll eat like the dirtiest stuff 03:33:12.540 --> 03:33:17.420 like oh dude But it's for me. It's all about the it's all about the pinch test 03:33:18.140 --> 03:33:21.820 But when I don't pass the pinch test, then I'm extremely disciplined 03:33:25.260 --> 03:33:33.420 Hey DLL love all your videos. I'm interested in a framework 12, but I was seriously turned off by the price of RAM 03:33:34.060 --> 03:33:38.940 Do you guys think that the framework 12 is in trouble unless the price of RAM falls? 03:33:39.740 --> 03:33:43.020 I think everything's in trouble unless the price of RAM falls that's been a 03:33:43.500 --> 03:33:46.460 a major point of discussion in the tech space for the last 03:33:47.740 --> 03:33:52.380 Three to five months. It's it's a it's a major problem. Um 03:33:53.260 --> 03:33:57.340 Yeah, yeah, I think they're in trouble if the price of RAM doesn't fall I 03:33:58.860 --> 03:34:01.900 I hope it's kind of seems like there's 03:34:03.020 --> 03:34:09.100 Signs of cracking in the ai bubble right now. It hasn't you know entered freefall or anything like that 03:34:09.100 --> 03:34:11.580 But isn't oracle stock like way down right now 03:34:13.660 --> 03:34:16.780 Uh, I think everything stock is way down right now 03:34:18.380 --> 03:34:20.780 Yeah, oracle stock is is definitely down 03:34:21.820 --> 03:34:26.380 um, yeah, and I think like because of ai over over 03:34:29.180 --> 03:34:35.420 But ai pressure, uh, that's a big part of the reason that oracles coming down so down three percent today 03:34:36.540 --> 03:34:39.740 Maybe it's coming. Maybe it's coming. Well, I'm not gonna hold my breath today 03:34:39.820 --> 03:34:45.100 They're down like two and a half three percent five days. They're up two and a half three percent one month. They're down 03:34:45.500 --> 03:34:49.020 Three ish percent six months. They're down forty eight point six percent 03:34:49.980 --> 03:34:56.780 so Yeah, if you look at the six month trend things are not looking good. They're up five percent from last year 03:34:57.420 --> 03:35:04.860 Yep Nice nothing matters. Yeah, so so following the ai bubble and then maybe we're maybe we're on the way down 03:35:05.020 --> 03:35:09.740 Hopefully that'd be awesome. I saw a new animal used to describe the stock market 03:35:10.220 --> 03:35:15.420 Apparently we're in a kangaroo market Boing so forget about bears and bulls. It's just 03:35:16.860 --> 03:35:23.740 Up and down. There's the ones that punch you in the face. Yeah, that still seems right. Yep. Absolutely tracks. Yeah 03:35:24.620 --> 03:35:33.420 What's up boys? Luke, how's your fitness journey going would like to know if you tweaked your diet at all lately looking good my boy 03:35:34.940 --> 03:35:39.020 Uh, the last comment's a little surprising. It's not going well. I basically for 03:35:39.820 --> 03:35:45.180 Well, it's all relative Luke. I mean compared to where you started. I think you're still looking pretty good 03:35:45.420 --> 03:35:49.900 Yeah, that's probably I can see where they're coming from. Yeah, I think you see every little imperfection 03:35:49.900 --> 03:35:52.780 But yeah, I'm very frustrated right now basically so okay 03:35:53.100 --> 03:35:57.100 So I was traveling a bunch and was kind of out of the gym because I was still 03:35:57.580 --> 03:36:01.820 Working out when I could like I got a workout in in hong kong 03:36:03.020 --> 03:36:10.060 Uh, like I was I was trying to make things happen I was keeping it going and then I came back and I had this crazy reno that 03:36:10.700 --> 03:36:15.580 Lasted for like over six months So I was inconsistent about my workouts 03:36:15.900 --> 03:36:19.100 Then a crazy reno that went on for a long time where I couldn't really use my kitchen 03:36:19.660 --> 03:36:24.540 So I had like non-prepared meals and no gym time 03:36:25.260 --> 03:36:28.380 for over six months 03:36:28.380 --> 03:36:32.780 Um And that really what are we hearing right now? 03:36:33.340 --> 03:36:40.380 Is that Yvonne's back in the room? Oh, okay. Um, I thought that was local. Sorry. No, you're good. I thought that was local. Um, 03:36:40.780 --> 03:36:47.500 Yep So I I lost a lot of traction there and the big problem that I'm having realistically right now 03:36:48.060 --> 03:36:51.420 Is that old injuries that I had like 03:36:52.060 --> 03:36:57.420 Had under control they weren't dealt with they weren't fixed, but I had them under control are 03:36:57.900 --> 03:37:06.540 now again Again, not in a state that I would consider under control. Um, so like I I 03:37:09.820 --> 03:37:14.780 Have to go up a certain amount of quite a few stairs to take the stairs in my building 03:37:14.860 --> 03:37:17.260 And I try to take the stairs exclusively every time 03:37:17.900 --> 03:37:21.420 Um, and every once in a while that'll kind of throw my knee out a little bit 03:37:21.660 --> 03:37:25.580 And it's just like damn man, like I think a week or two ago 03:37:25.660 --> 03:37:30.140 I literally went up one flight of stairs and my knee was like nope 03:37:30.540 --> 03:37:35.500 And it's just like oh like this this was something that I had completely solved 03:37:35.980 --> 03:37:40.140 Like not that long ago and then just through I and I had talked about this on WAN Show 03:37:40.140 --> 03:37:46.540 I had talked about this with lots of people where I was like no I just have to do this forever and I didn't really think like I knew I was doing stuff 03:37:46.700 --> 03:37:52.300 You know, I'd work around the house. I was traveling whatever like I I didn't it wasn't like laziness that was keeping me out of the gym 03:37:52.540 --> 03:37:55.740 But I didn't go to the gym for a while and my diet went crap 03:37:56.220 --> 03:38:04.140 And that combination I think just brought everything kind of back So I have to go through this like repetitive phase again, which I've been working on I do these like 03:38:05.340 --> 03:38:10.060 Like I don't know what you want to call them these like really weird lunges where you get your knee way over your toe 03:38:10.540 --> 03:38:16.140 Um, and and dude, there's there's a youtuber guy knees over toes guy. I've been following some of his stuff 03:38:16.220 --> 03:38:19.820 That's how I uh, originally fixed my knees was following some of his stuff 03:38:20.540 --> 03:38:27.340 My shoulder. I don't have anything Particular it's just these things that I call side poles. I don't know what they're actually called and hanging 03:38:27.580 --> 03:38:32.220 I do both of those and those help but like my hangs have gotten a lot worse because I wasn't doing them 03:38:33.340 --> 03:38:36.860 And and yeah backwards running like there's lots of different things that I do 03:38:36.940 --> 03:38:39.820 But they're just in a terrible state right now. So I can't like 03:38:44.940 --> 03:38:51.980 It's just very frustrating and I would way rather I know there's like the whole you can't work out a you can't work off a bad diet 03:38:52.300 --> 03:38:55.900 Yeah, but you can really support a much worse diet by doing a lot of activity 03:38:56.220 --> 03:39:02.460 Um, and I would way rather it's not even necessarily that I want to eat junk all the time. I just hate eating very little 03:39:03.100 --> 03:39:08.620 Um, I hate that scenario. I'd rather just be active and then eat like a pretty decent amount 03:39:09.100 --> 03:39:16.140 Um Rotator cuff exercises. Yeah, so my my things are both of my knees, but mostly my right knee, but it's both 03:39:16.540 --> 03:39:21.900 Um, my right shoulder cuff and my lower back on the right hand side 03:39:21.900 --> 03:39:27.180 I got speared there and hockey when I was younger. Um, the back is kind of the least problematic one 03:39:27.260 --> 03:39:29.260 But when it's a problem, um out 03:39:30.540 --> 03:39:37.660 It's like when it when it kind of flares up. I'll be done for like a month. Um, but it's it's it's very 03:39:38.460 --> 03:39:44.220 frustrating I I knew When I was going to go back into the gym my lifts were going to be way lower and that was going to be annoying 03:39:44.460 --> 03:39:53.260 I didn't expect The like actually you can't go you have to go for walks all the time for a while and do these lunch things and do 03:39:53.260 --> 03:39:58.380 This like really boring stuff that has no like measurable improvement. I like number go up 03:39:58.700 --> 03:40:03.660 I don't like oh, maybe I feel better today. I can't really tell that's not very fun 03:40:03.900 --> 03:40:08.780 and it's difficult to be motivating but I just have to do it because I have to get back on track 03:40:09.020 --> 03:40:12.620 So I'm planning about this if I remember correctly. It's like three more weeks 03:40:12.860 --> 03:40:16.540 I'm gonna try to go into the gym 03:40:17.020 --> 03:40:21.100 And try some stuff and I'll start with pretty low weights and be pretty chill 03:40:21.580 --> 03:40:25.340 And just try to see how things feel and I'll probably only do like 03:40:26.140 --> 03:40:31.420 I don't know once or twice a week at the beginning and just try to kind of ease back into it 03:40:31.420 --> 03:40:33.500 But I gotta be careful because I'm dealing with some 03:40:36.460 --> 03:40:40.300 Yeah I have very particular things that I do 03:40:40.860 --> 03:40:44.460 Um, that's fine. We're not necessarily going to be doing the same stuff 03:40:44.460 --> 03:40:49.020 I'm just saying if you want if you want buddies me and jay kwan are there on mondays. Yeah, that's not a bad idea 03:40:49.340 --> 03:40:51.340 Usually I do 03:40:52.860 --> 03:40:58.300 At the end there I was on a weird way to say you're too cool for us No, monday is usually a day that I do monday's usually likes for me 03:40:58.540 --> 03:41:02.860 I like starting the week off with legs because legs takes the most energy 03:41:03.660 --> 03:41:09.340 And it is generally like the least like men don't tend to like doing legs as much 03:41:09.340 --> 03:41:14.060 So I just start with that one Uh, and then yeah, so I used to do 03:41:14.700 --> 03:41:21.500 monday tuesday thursday and then I was shifted to I think it was like monday thursday saturday for a bit there 03:41:22.140 --> 03:41:27.180 But I'll move probably a lot of granularity in the detail here. Yeah, we're we're losing it. But anyways 03:41:28.620 --> 03:41:31.500 It's a little off track, but I'm trying to get back on the tracks and I'm 03:41:32.060 --> 03:41:35.340 Like actually peak frustrated right now, but we'll we'll figure it out 03:41:36.220 --> 03:41:41.340 Now fanboy and z says have you considered glp one, but I think I can probably answer this for you 03:41:41.820 --> 03:41:48.140 Luke's goal is not to Have side effects and take a drug and do it the easy way 03:41:49.100 --> 03:41:51.980 His goal is to be physically fit 03:41:53.020 --> 03:41:55.500 Of which does not necessarily mean the shape 03:41:56.140 --> 03:42:00.380 It means like he wants his strength back. Yeah, I don't actually care that much 03:42:00.380 --> 03:42:04.220 One is a path to that. I don't actually care that much about the the shape 03:42:04.780 --> 03:42:08.780 Obviously, I do a little bit, but like the the goal is that I want to feel capable 03:42:09.180 --> 03:42:12.860 Um, I want to be able to run. I want to be able to jump. I want to be able to sprint 03:42:12.940 --> 03:42:19.420 I want to be able to lift I want to feel capable and feel healthy. That's my by far primary goal 03:42:20.940 --> 03:42:26.540 Ribbit says glp one is not the easy way. So what would be the easy way for weight loss then? 03:42:28.060 --> 03:42:34.540 like are you I'm I'm having a hard time understanding what you think that's the first time I've ever heard that 03:42:37.340 --> 03:42:40.060 It's a head start right which is 03:42:41.580 --> 03:42:46.060 Well, yeah, ribbit says I've been on it for nearly two years and been working my butt off combined with it 03:42:46.620 --> 03:42:49.980 Well, right, but yeah, I mean, that's the exact same relative 03:42:50.060 --> 03:42:54.620 That's the exact same and actually accurate as far as my understanding goes argument of steroids 03:42:54.620 --> 03:42:58.220 Like you don't just become mystery olympia by just taking steroids 03:42:58.860 --> 03:43:02.860 a lot of They will make you they will give you muscle mass just kind of automatically 03:43:02.860 --> 03:43:08.460 But also a big part of is it reduces your recovery time so you can work out more you have to you have to try harder 03:43:09.340 --> 03:43:12.700 It unlocks trying harder um 03:43:12.700 --> 03:43:21.500 yeah Yeah, uh, sorry man. You're over 30. That feels good thing has sailed. No. I actually completely disagreed there. There was like, uh 03:43:22.460 --> 03:43:28.620 Before this happened before the house right now. I was mostly feeling pretty good. I felt strong. Yeah 03:43:30.300 --> 03:43:34.300 Things were doing okay. Obviously, there's gonna be lows, but like there's relative 03:43:34.860 --> 03:43:38.860 I'm speaking relatively and relatively right now. It feels terrible 03:43:39.420 --> 03:43:42.860 Uh, but it also feels a little bit better than it did last week. So like 03:43:43.900 --> 03:43:51.980 Okay, we'll keep going All right, Dan hit me. Hello mental gen the Linux challenges are always interesting to me 03:43:52.140 --> 03:43:55.100 I've been using a fairphone 6 with eos and loving it 03:43:55.500 --> 03:44:00.940 When is the eos or lineage os challenge? Also happy day before pi day 03:44:02.460 --> 03:44:06.940 I would actually love to look at lineage os again 03:44:07.500 --> 03:44:12.780 I'm gonna i'm gonna put it on the list. It's been on the list for a long time, but i'm gonna i'm gonna surface that in my inbox 03:44:13.580 --> 03:44:18.140 lineage os is um Is 03:44:18.700 --> 03:44:23.180 Is such a cool idea to me In theory as a way to 03:44:23.420 --> 03:44:27.980 Squeeze way more life out of older Android devices and i'd love to see 03:44:28.780 --> 03:44:35.340 Now that we have five-year-old phones that are totally still good enough hardware wise to daily 03:44:35.820 --> 03:44:40.780 Uh, but maybe aren't getting software support anymore. I'd I'd love to take a crack at it again 03:44:42.140 --> 03:44:51.340 Yeah, I used to run it. It's awesome Um, last one I got for you here. Hey one pointed question. Uh, oh you said it's awesome and used to 03:44:51.740 --> 03:44:54.780 Why do you stop it wasn't available on my more recent phones? 03:44:55.820 --> 03:44:58.300 Got it. It's only available on some very specific models 03:44:59.020 --> 03:45:05.260 Seems like a fair enough answer. I'm so sorry. It's not a nice place. Yeah, uh, a lot of these are 03:45:05.900 --> 03:45:08.300 Specific phones and I don't generally go for the generics 03:45:08.940 --> 03:45:14.380 but I do always try and buy the ones that have unlocked bootloaders for the future 03:45:14.940 --> 03:45:17.660 In case someone makes one in 10 years so that they can keep working 03:45:18.780 --> 03:45:26.380 Last one.

So 03:46:40.700 --> 03:46:48.780 Yeah You know, definitely, you know for me partnering up was critical to my success 03:46:49.420 --> 03:46:55.740 um But you know, I fully recognize that you know, if if if the wedding is not, you know, 03:46:56.220 --> 03:47:00.300 Right or the timing is not right for you.
