WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.000
Oh

00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:15.600
Hi everyone It begins

00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:20.920
You're really far from your mic. Yeah, I was gonna say I forgot my I forgot my new

00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:28.840
stance When it's dance God, how has it been such a long week for a short week wait was it a short week? No

00:00:29.400 --> 00:00:35.400
Okay, well that explains it, but it is crazy. I think last week was a short week and next week is a short week, which is insane

00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:41.040
They're trying to kill me. Yeah, I overheard a couple of people saying like the exact same thing

00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:47.320
They're I would have never imagined in my life that I would be like upset about too long weekends so close together

00:00:47.680 --> 00:00:53.040
Yeah, it's just too close Spread them out a little bit. Yeah, geez

00:00:54.040 --> 00:01:00.840
It's like especially when it's like Canada only because the rest of the world keeps turning they keep moving

00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:05.960
So it's like my emails keep coming in literally people on my team keep working

00:01:06.360 --> 00:01:09.200
Right cuz they're in other countries, so it's like

00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:14.600
Brilliant I yeah flawless perfection

00:01:15.720 --> 00:01:21.640
I pretty much always end up still doing something on the like Canada only stats

00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.040
But it's usually just like a very lazy day

00:01:28.360 --> 00:01:35.480
What holiday do you have for short week in BC? I think this one is Thanksgiving. I don't know we just had Truth and Reconciliation Day though

00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:53.640
All right, dude Dan, I hope you're warmed up cuz today is gonna be a little wild

00:01:55.520 --> 00:02:00.200
Is it cuz of these are you saying these yeah, no I

00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:03.560
Should just order like 10 on the show

00:02:05.880 --> 00:02:14.800
I'm so excited man. I'm wearing my long sleeve right now. It's great. Me too. Yeah, oh

00:02:16.040 --> 00:02:21.880
I'd literally I'm pretty sure I've done the laundry every single day since last week because I only brought one home

00:02:21.880 --> 00:02:27.840
And I wore it that one day and I was like I can't I I can't not wear this now. Yes. Oh

00:02:28.480 --> 00:02:34.000
My god Oh shoot am I not how do I log into the merch message dashboard again? What do you mean?

00:02:34.040 --> 00:02:36.040
I always forget is it this I

00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:42.600
Don't think so Apparently yes. Oh cuz you already have them. You're right. Never mind. Cool

00:02:43.200 --> 00:02:47.080
All right. Well that worked out. You have to have the master password thing as well, but yeah

00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:49.680
All right, should we do this thing?

00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:56.240
Let's do this thing. Well, I don't know if I've ever seen Dan so happy

00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:03.040
Yeah, it was the merch photo. Have you seen this? It was ridiculously genuine on this all sounds like

00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:09.200
Content. Oh, yeah. All right, let's get the show started. That's amazing. I'm hitting it now. You don't smile much

00:03:11.160 --> 00:03:13.520
Republishing okay resuming the selected

00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:26.920
Happy Friday everybody and welcome to the WAN Show we have a fantastic show lined up

00:03:26.920 --> 00:03:30.360
Guys this week because both Dan and Luke are in

00:03:31.480 --> 00:03:33.480
Uncharacteristically good moods. Yeah

00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:44.160
And they destroy fly away apparently they're in good moods so rarely they don't know how to express it so they're just awkward

00:03:47.600 --> 00:03:51.760
I don't know what this emotion is I'm scared

00:03:52.480 --> 00:03:59.600
On the show we'll be talking about the video that we did on me taking the a-plus exam and the fact that it is down

00:03:59.640 --> 00:04:07.800
We will also be live Verifying whether my certificate is still active or not if it's not we have to like burn it or something

00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:14.000
I guess so. I mean, I think that's how it works. Yeah, we'll also be talking about my experience so far

00:04:14.440 --> 00:04:19.360
With the iPhone 16 plus which I have a lot of notes about

00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:23.840
Like a lot. Oh What else we got this week Luke?

00:04:23.840 --> 00:04:32.200
The WordPress feud is kind of bad news for like a bunch of the internet and also a bunch of M1 Macs are breaking

00:04:32.640 --> 00:04:35.600
Really, I guess Apple wants you to finally upgrade. Oh

00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.000
That's one way to do it

00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:51.600
You

00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:01.520
The show is brought to you today by super micro NSI

00:05:01.960 --> 00:05:07.600
Ridge and of course our chair partner secret lab our laptop partner LG and our rap partner

00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:14.600
D-brand The partners they wrapped our table. We have so many partners. Yeah, we're like an open relationship

00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:20.120
Like that one in Seattle, but not quite we got a long way to go. There's a thing in Seattle. Oh, have you heard of that?

00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:22.840
No answer to that. Damn. Why does Dan know about this?

00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:26.560
Come from again. Everybody knows about it. We're all we're all in it

00:05:27.400 --> 00:05:33.760
There's like a massive Polycule in Seattle and there's so many jokes. It's like 30,000 40,000 people

00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:40.440
How big is it? I actually don't know what the real. Wow. Okay. Well, why don't we talk about tech for a little bit? Shall we I?

00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:50.280
I Originally planned to do only one video on the iPhone 16. Oh, you're doing more. Well, I'm gonna I'm gonna talk about it

00:05:50.280 --> 00:05:55.280
I'm gonna talk about it a little bit iPhone wars. The original plan was one video. I was gonna wait

00:05:55.280 --> 00:06:00.400
I was gonna use it for like a month wait for iOS 18 dot one to come out

00:06:00.400 --> 00:06:04.560
Which is gonna have the new Apple intelligence features so that I could do one video

00:06:05.080 --> 00:06:12.600
Reviewing the complete iPhone 16 experience except here's a small problem. Okay. This is my document of notes so far

00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:20.560
Whoa That's more than a video if those are good like, you know

00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:27.840
Sometimes a whole section of notes comes down into like a line But if those are, you know, not very compressible, that's multiple videos

00:06:27.840 --> 00:06:33.840
This is one of the buggiest device experiences that I have had in recent memory

00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:42.200
Well, and I shouldn't say it's not just the buggy-ness either. So you're and you're a hundred percent sure it's buggy-ness. It's not

00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:48.660
Unfamiliarity. I'll tell you what I'm about to send a file to Dan that is probably going to blow your mind

00:06:50.440 --> 00:06:53.360
You're sending this file through teams. Is this teams? No

00:06:53.960 --> 00:06:58.760
What do you mean? I'm sending this file through teams. No, no, no, no, it's a screen recording teams or no, sorry

00:06:58.760 --> 00:07:02.000
It's a it's a camera clip. It's it's a clip. I recorded. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah

00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:05.360
I'm just I'm just sending a file to Dan. He's gonna play it for the show

00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:09.680
But are you doing it through teams? What? Yeah, okay. It doesn't matter. Okay. The sending is not the issue. No, no

00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:13.480
It's just a file. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no, no. No, dude

00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:20.480
No, I know teams is a steaming pile of yeah fun. Um, I really like by the way if anyone from Microsoft is watching I

00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:26.000
Genuinely feel like I could be helpful if you wanted to improve teams

00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:29.000
I have some very easily actionable

00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:33.480
Extremely massively improving feedback that I could give you and look how good his hair is today

00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:37.920
Yeah, you got to take somebody seriously when they have hair that's good. That's probably a Microsoft thing

00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:42.940
Yeah, they probably care. Yeah, they care a lot hear me out. I can help you. That's why they got a ballmer

00:07:45.960 --> 00:07:48.400
That's why they had all those problems more like bald mer

00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:54.720
You can't attack people for like male pattern baldness that's like

00:07:55.440 --> 00:07:58.560
Half of our audience. Oh, yeah, can you not it's fine

00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:02.800
I thought I was gonna be bald my whole life because my dad was bald and I didn't know that's not how that worked

00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:08.000
Yeah, I thought I was too because I was told it's the man on your mother's side

00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:14.200
And my grandfather went bald in high school. Oh, yeah, so my grandpa had hair the whole time from a very young age

00:08:14.200 --> 00:08:21.440
I was like well That was part of the reason that I would dye my hair like wacky colors in high school. I was like

00:08:22.320 --> 00:08:28.400
Enjoy it. Yeah, I just never cared. I thought my dad was cool. He was bald. So I was like, whatever. I'll just be bald

00:08:28.520 --> 00:08:36.680
Okay, Dan. Do you have that file ready for us? Okay, can he hear audio? Is that something that we can just do smoothly now or is that is that still hit or miss?

00:08:36.680 --> 00:08:43.160
No, it should be should be good to do it. Okay, play the clip. Okay. No, I've always wanted to say play the clip

00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:49.400
All right, let's see. Let's see if I mess this up I

00:08:49.680 --> 00:08:51.680
Okay, yeah

00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:01.360
I take it this is not intentional

00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:07.360
Wait, is it playing like four songs at once or something

00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:13.840
416 out of 334. Oh Oh

00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:22.360
My and that's that's not a problem with your car. That's not as far I've never had a problem with Android Auto in my car

00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:27.640
Like that So it's so there's so many layers of problems here

00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:34.240
That's not the song that was on the display. Okay. It was playing at what sounded like at least double the speed

00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:37.280
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and the counter was obviously broken

00:09:37.760 --> 00:09:42.840
Now fixing it was as simple as turning it off and turning it back on okay, right

00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:49.040
But the issue is that I've had a number of those types of problems. Here's another fun one

00:09:49.040 --> 00:09:53.360
I was I haven't daily driven an iOS device in a long time and

00:09:54.040 --> 00:10:01.280
Back when I used to iPhone I used to game on my phone from time to time and one of the games that I liked as just like a past the time toilet game

00:10:01.280 --> 00:10:08.680
It was jetpack joyride and as I was going through and ticking all of the boxes that for all the apps that I used to have and just kind of

00:10:08.680 --> 00:10:13.920
You know mass dumping apps onto the phone because when I did the migration wizard

00:10:13.920 --> 00:10:21.200
It prompted me for if I wanted to migrate my apps and the migration wizard wizard is specifically an Android app

00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:25.720
So it asked me do you want to migrate your apps? And I'm like sure that sounds convenient

00:10:26.040 --> 00:10:29.880
So it'll just like grab Twitter. It's no it just it didn't install any of them

00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:32.720
Absolutely none absolutely zero

00:10:33.760 --> 00:10:37.280
so anyway, I was manually installing my apps and

00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:46.240
Like a caveman I Fired up jetpack joyride and I was like, okay. Let's uh, let's play this game and

00:10:46.920 --> 00:10:50.920
I was sitting on the floor next to the cats and I was like doot-doot-doot. Yeah

00:10:50.920 --> 00:10:54.840
I am I don't know firing bullets to fire my jetpack or whatever

00:10:54.840 --> 00:11:03.080
I put it down like this and It auto-rotated to the other side and then I went oh shoot. I should have gotten a video that because it wouldn't come back

00:11:04.520 --> 00:11:07.800
Okay, well that's apparently resolved now

00:11:09.280 --> 00:11:14.200
Developers over at Apple are working fast. They're they're getting it done, but and I don't think I've gotten any updates

00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:16.400
So that may I'm just rolling. Oh

00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:22.120
You know what I bet it was no I bet I I bet I know how to replicate it now. Hold on. Give me a sec. Give me a sec

00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:26.280
I think I can probably replicate it Here we go

00:11:26.680 --> 00:11:33.320
Okay, so I'm resuming I'm putting it down. It's gonna flip the other way blah blah blah blah blah. I bring it back

00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:41.480
Yeah, it's upside down. Yeah, why is it upside down luke? It's a really cool level in jetpack joyride where you have to you have to oh

00:11:43.160 --> 00:11:46.440
Well Oh

00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:51.240
I don't know that seems weird. Do you think it would rotate? Yeah. Yeah, you think that rotation lock isn't on or anything like that

00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:55.400
Rotation lock is on. Oh But it will only lock one

00:11:57.480 --> 00:12:03.000
Way that just sounds like an apple thing. I don't think that's a bug. No, it's it's an well. It's an apple thing in that it

00:12:03.560 --> 00:12:09.000
is apple Obstinately refusing to implement a landscape lock on iOS

00:12:09.880 --> 00:12:15.480
So iOS only has a portrait lock portrait orientation lock

00:12:16.520 --> 00:12:22.520
iPad os and actually iOS on the ipad both support landscape

00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:26.520
rotation lock But iOS does not

00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:32.200
So if you have your display locked And an app forces landscape mode

00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:35.080
You can only hold it one

00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:40.920
Way I was gonna say I mean I'm stealing this from someone in full plane chat named a unique username, but I you're just holding it wrong

00:12:41.640 --> 00:12:48.760
Um classic apple problem The thing is that i'm not because the camera bump is here and if I hold it like this that blows

00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:54.680
Whereas if I hold it like this It's a lot better. Hold on. Can I hold it for a sec? Yeah, absolutely. I wonder

00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:58.360
You know, you don't have to ask permission, right?

00:13:03.640 --> 00:13:08.200
And this whole this whole orientation lock, I think I disagree really

00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:14.440
Hit finger connects there if I go like this nothing touches the camera

00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:19.720
Uh, this is more comfortable. You have much larger hands than me which to be clear

00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:26.040
Is fine if some people prefer this way. No, I'm not so yeah, and some people prefer for this way. Yeah, that's totally cool

00:13:27.400 --> 00:13:33.160
Unless your name is apple in which case that is not a totally cool not allowed. Um, and so

00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:38.200
The so we used iphone's as teleprompters volume buttons are up

00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:47.640
Uh, we use tele we use the iphone's as teleprompters And so the inability to lock them in landscape and leave them has resulted in us needing to do this really

00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:51.640
obnoxious Onset maneuver that we call the dip

00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:57.400
So every time the iphone every time one of the camera operators, you know, let's go the camera to you know

00:13:57.400 --> 00:14:03.800
Do something with their hands or whatever and picks it back up It'll it'll have gone back to to portrait orientation or whatever and off be like

00:14:04.760 --> 00:14:10.120
And they have to go like this with the whole camera rig and then lift it back up in order to reorient the teleprompter because

00:14:10.520 --> 00:14:13.560
You cannot lock it in landscape mode

00:14:13.800 --> 00:14:17.960
And so even apps that do force the iphone to go to landscape mode

00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:22.760
Will leave it locked in the wrong orientation potentially because

00:14:23.640 --> 00:14:27.320
It doesn't Properly have a landscape orientation lock

00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:31.560
and dude there have been

00:14:31.640 --> 00:14:39.720
So Many things like that. There's a lot of stuff that's really good. In fact, I would say probably a solid 60 to 70 percent of this

00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:48.360
Is really good stuff their background playback is so cool. So check this out. I'm gonna I'm gonna load something up on my plex

00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:53.080
um Okay, so check this out. We're gonna go we're gonna go oh

00:14:54.040 --> 00:15:01.400
And the speakers are great Speakers are freaking amazing. Okay. Okay. That was another thing. Did you see how I swiped it up and it went up into the dynamic island?

00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:09.080
Sure Okay, this time it goes to picture-in-picture. I I can't find the pattern here. That's probably how much you're

00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:15.640
Yeah, I thought that um, and then I swiped it really fast and it like totally didn't go up into the island

00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:22.520
So I don't know. I I haven't looked it up. I will I will figure that out before the re I cannot get youtube to go picture-in-picture

00:15:22.520 --> 00:15:29.000
No matter what I do But plex sometimes goes on the island sometimes goes picture-in-picture, but when it is working check this out check this out

00:15:29.160 --> 00:15:33.160
Background playback watch this Boom tucked it over there

00:15:33.560 --> 00:15:37.160
Background playback still going there's a little arrow boom bring it back out like that

00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:42.040
So cool. That's neat. That's nice. If you're into background playback

00:15:42.520 --> 00:15:45.800
um That's a really cool sort of

00:15:46.520 --> 00:15:51.000
Extra back background that you can that you can push it back to and you know what?

00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:54.280
I'm sure there's variants of Android that do support stuff like that

00:15:54.760 --> 00:15:57.960
um but

00:15:57.960 --> 00:15:59.960
This was my first experience with it and I loved it. Oh

00:16:01.880 --> 00:16:05.400
I have a whole paragraph on this. Do you see what's going on on the phone right now?

00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:10.360
Yeah cameras open. Okay, this

00:16:11.400 --> 00:16:15.160
This camera button Is probably the greatest

00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:22.520
Difference between how good an idea seems on paper and how bad it is in practice that I have ever seen

00:16:23.800 --> 00:16:29.480
In theory, it's great. I want to use my camera. I'm like boom camera button

00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:34.040
Let's go. I'm taking pictures boom boom. I'm taking pictures with this button

00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:38.440
Let's go. You can also click it a little bit and you can like adjust stuff and it's it's super cool

00:16:38.520 --> 00:16:40.600
You can zoom you can zoom. Let's go. Let's zoom

00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:48.280
In practice the ratio of times I hit it on purpose to times I hit it by accident is about one to five

00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:53.800
Because every time I hold the bloody phone, where else am I supposed to hold it?

00:16:54.040 --> 00:16:58.680
It's got the volume buttons over here the action button over here. It's got the lock button over here

00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:03.800
It's got the camera button Where the hell am I supposed to hold this phone and not have it start

00:17:04.360 --> 00:17:09.240
Changing my volume or locking itself or freaking opening the camera. It's driving me absolutely crazy. Yes

00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:12.760
I know I'm holding it wrong ghost of jobs. I don't care

00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:19.400
If I'm gonna complain about a bixby button, I'm gonna complain about a camera button. It's that simple

00:17:20.120 --> 00:17:23.480
Um, my phone has a camera button. I don't have issues with it

00:17:24.040 --> 00:17:33.240
Well, how nice for you Dan? How nice for you? Hey, animations make iOS feel freaking slow sometimes

00:17:34.520 --> 00:17:37.880
Like just every single time you unlock your phone. You need to wait around for that

00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:44.520
Oh And the fact that you have to the fact that you have to interact with the screen to unlock the phone

00:17:46.280 --> 00:17:49.640
Drives me crazy. Can you do it again? Sorry, can I see you again?

00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:55.320
Oh, well first I have to buy oh my god. Sorry

00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:02.600
Okay, so first you biometrically authenticate. I am unlocked right now. Okay, but I have to interact with it again

00:18:02.760 --> 00:18:06.920
Yeah, I have to wait around for that animation because mine has an animation too, but it's a lot faster

00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:09.640
Yeah, and you don't have to touch your screen

00:18:10.360 --> 00:18:13.240
In order to get rid of the the lock screen

00:18:14.120 --> 00:18:19.320
So for those of you who are iOS users, you can just touch your touch sensor or face your phone

00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:21.960
And you are just at the desktop. You don't have to

00:18:23.560 --> 00:18:29.560
Swipe at it. Um, yeah Oh, man, what else apparently you can turn off the animations in accessibility

00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:33.800
Why does apple hide? So actually I have a whole paragraph. Thank you Dan good or Dan good

00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:36.840
Why does apple hide all the coolest features under accessibility?

00:18:37.320 --> 00:18:41.800
They have this they have this new display tech really that allows them to go all the way down to one knit

00:18:42.120 --> 00:18:45.480
And apparently we haven't actually tested whether it can do one knit or not, but

00:18:46.760 --> 00:18:52.840
What I can tell you is it gets really dim at night as long as you go into the accessibility menu and enable

00:18:53.320 --> 00:19:01.640
Whatever this is called Whatever this little sun thing here in the control center. Like why especially if you're going to have the feature in your keynote

00:19:02.760 --> 00:19:08.840
Why why is it hidden in accessibility? It's like when for so long they hid a mouse support on the iPad

00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:13.560
Maybe it's a big accessibility. Maybe it's a bid to try to normalize accessibility options

00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:21.720
I think that seems like a maybe apple thing that I I don't think so

00:19:22.360 --> 00:19:26.760
I'm gonna I'm gonna go with No

00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:29.480
I have considered uh, no

00:19:30.280 --> 00:19:34.600
Yeah, I have no idea. Um Android locks them in developer mode. Yeah

00:19:36.040 --> 00:19:39.160
But I feel like it has less of them to lock if you know what I mean

00:19:39.800 --> 00:19:45.480
Um, I'm gonna I'm gonna add a note here. Um, check the animation speed thing

00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:53.640
See if it can be improved. Um The thing that I'm pretty sure can't be is I'm pretty sure you have to physically interact with the device in order to unlock it

00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:56.200
And that's the thing that slows me down the most because I pretty much

00:19:58.120 --> 00:20:03.960
Like I I I pretty much need a second hand in order to in order to here hold on bleh bleh

00:20:05.560 --> 00:20:09.800
I pretty much need a second hand In order to get all the way to the bottom

00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:12.760
Especially on the plus and if you can't get all the way to the bottom

00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:16.600
You can't just swipe here because that'll just pull up your notifications and you can't just go again

00:20:17.800 --> 00:20:21.640
It doesn't know it doesn't you have to get all the way down to the bottom in order to unlock it

00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:27.720
Another thing that drives me absolutely crazy is the scrolling speed is locked. It's gated

00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:32.600
So when I'm just like scrolling through a news feed or something like here, I bet I bet

00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:39.320
Have you tried to daily drive an iphone like ever? Okay, so just scroll through a news feed and see how that feels for you

00:20:39.320 --> 00:20:44.440
Just like like you're like you're skimming open to ebay. Oh, and I don't know how to go back on iphone

00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:51.080
Oh, man, I got I got like two paragraphs on that. I already got stuck in literally less than a second

00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:59.000
Dude, that's a user error to be clear. But dude, I've got I've got two paragraphs on back

00:20:59.960 --> 00:21:04.760
How do you go back? Well, there's there's a gesture. There's a back gesture where you swipe from the left

00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:10.760
So when you're when you're like in a you know, browser window or whatever else you just go for okay. Well, I'm not

00:21:11.320 --> 00:21:16.440
Uh, oh right. I'm not using chrome. I'm using safari. I'm trying to have the apple experience. Okay, so I'm on LTT Store

00:21:16.840 --> 00:21:22.200
Uh, if I want to go back I go like that And if I want to go between tabs, I go like that. It's actually yeah, that's kind of cool

00:21:22.360 --> 00:21:26.840
Um, and I have a whole two paragraphs on the convenience of the back gesture

00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:36.520
When it works Because there's still so many apps that use the old iOS paradigm of back is up and in the top left

00:21:36.520 --> 00:21:44.840
Which is for a right-handed user Super single worst possible place to have the back button iOS whether apple users know it or not

00:21:45.560 --> 00:21:48.680
iOS needs a proper universal

00:21:49.320 --> 00:21:55.800
Back something and so I've started documenting all the times I've encountered when back gesture doesn't go back

00:21:56.120 --> 00:22:02.200
Do you think you could I think you should try to pour through the accessibility options because I wonder if you can switch which side

00:22:02.520 --> 00:22:07.640
It goes back. I will but it doesn't matter because it just isn't it just doesn't go back a lot

00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:11.640
Because like needing to swipe from the left hand side sounds less convenient. Oh, yeah

00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:15.080
It's possible that there's an accessibility option for that. I'm I'm not done

00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:21.160
This is just this is raw notes and this is what I would take into sort of sitting down descriptor review

00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:25.400
Um, and then I would I would go and I would figure out if they're if they're valid or not

00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:28.360
like I specifically have stuff in here that I'm like, um

00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:34.520
So check check into this uh follow this up. Um, anyway, so here

00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:39.880
Is a news feed so flip like you're like trying to get past ads and stuff

00:22:40.520 --> 00:22:47.320
That's too slow. It's Way too slow. It's all it feels like you oh interesting

00:22:48.280 --> 00:22:53.480
If I if I like preload some things by scrolling a bunch and then scroll all the way back up

00:22:54.200 --> 00:22:56.760
Uh, I can get it to go quick

00:22:57.240 --> 00:23:02.920
But only for like a little little bit Like if you go all the way to the top and then try to crank it'll go

00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:09.480
It's still not the speed, but it feels artificially slowed down what it isn't is the speed that I'm moving my finger

00:23:09.560 --> 00:23:15.800
Yeah, whereas an Android phone for the most part will scroll as fast as you flick it

00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:21.800
I did one flick of my thumb and I got all the way through the whole newsreel down to where it had to load more in one just

00:23:23.320 --> 00:23:29.560
Which feels way more natural. I am I am quickly coming back to my old conclusion that

00:23:30.120 --> 00:23:33.720
iOS is best enjoyed by people who aren't as busy as I am

00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:39.000
Because pretty much everything takes a little bit longer on iOS

00:23:39.880 --> 00:23:45.960
Pretty much everything I do In spite of how slow the note 9 is when I'm not gated by the soc

00:23:46.280 --> 00:23:53.000
So installing an app for instance is much faster on the iphone compared to a five-year-old phone or however old that stupid thing is

00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:56.920
Sure, um But in terms of just the interface

00:23:57.800 --> 00:24:00.280
Do you know you can't resize the keyboard

00:24:03.320 --> 00:24:07.080
Why Can you install third-party keyboards? Yes

00:24:07.080 --> 00:24:14.040
And even swift key I can't resize. Oh weird. Okay, and I can't I can't long press for special characters

00:24:14.120 --> 00:24:17.400
I'm one of the few people remaining on the planet who cares about punctuation

00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:20.840
And I like actually just literally can't on this thing

00:24:21.560 --> 00:24:24.680
Like yeah, I can navigate. Is that actually not a thing? There's no yeah

00:24:24.680 --> 00:24:27.480
No, I can navigate to a submenu of special characters

00:24:27.800 --> 00:24:34.200
And then what about second submenu of special characters and I've noticed that that drives me actually insane

00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:36.920
I hate the second I hate the second

00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:43.960
Oh my god saying you can Where you can resize the key. It's probably an accessibility options

00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:49.720
Just long press on the key. Yeah, people are saying long press works for them and you can resize the keyboard

00:24:50.280 --> 00:24:56.040
These are in Linus's defense. Hold on. These are notes. They're not done. Okay. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. No, no

00:24:56.040 --> 00:25:00.760
No, I'm gonna switch. I'm gonna switch my keyboard. I'm gonna switch my keyboard right now. You guys are gonna show me

00:25:01.720 --> 00:25:04.520
What are you guys talking about

00:25:06.760 --> 00:25:12.040
Are you talking about like accents Like an accent that's not what he means. That's not what he means

00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:15.720
That is super duper not what I'm talking about hold press

00:25:15.800 --> 00:25:19.400
What is it for and then you get asterisk or whatever like he wants that that type of stuff

00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:23.720
Hold the bottom left emoji. Oh my god. It is amazing

00:25:24.440 --> 00:25:28.680
How like Oh

00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:33.400
Some people are saying accessibility How much better

00:25:34.120 --> 00:25:38.280
iOS could be um

00:25:39.640 --> 00:25:44.600
And isn't Okay, i'm gonna go in i'm going into accessibility. We're headed into the accessibility

00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:49.240
Menu because that's apparently where all the good things the whole phone on the iphone are

00:25:49.960 --> 00:25:53.560
Okay, here we go Side button camera control

00:25:54.120 --> 00:25:58.120
Camera control. Yeah, you can just disable that so that might be what I end up needing to do

00:25:58.760 --> 00:26:08.280
um hearing devices Subtitles and captioning speech access keyboard and typing. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Okay. Hover typing key repeat show lowercase keys

00:26:09.640 --> 00:26:15.560
Slow keys sticky keys. I was saying long press the globe. I thought that was a joke, but long press the globe

00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:20.600
Okay, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hack the world. Yeah, hack the planet long press the globe because here we go

00:26:20.920 --> 00:26:27.240
Here we go. Long press the globe Okay, keyboard settings. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Okay

00:26:28.200 --> 00:26:31.960
Uh Long press the globe was apparently a real sentence

00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:39.880
I thought I literally thought they were just trolling everything's so obfuscated. Okay, so I have a one I have a one-handed keyboard here

00:26:40.840 --> 00:26:43.560
I have show math results

00:26:44.600 --> 00:26:52.360
um Period shortcut slide to type delete slide to type by word enable dictation auto punctuation

00:26:53.240 --> 00:27:00.920
I don't know what you guys are talking about So the bottom options to scoot it to the left or right. Why would I want to do that?

00:27:02.040 --> 00:27:06.520
I don't think that's what he means by resize. Oh my god. You can resize it

00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:11.480
As long as you resize it exactly the way that apple wants you to resize it. You guys don't

00:27:12.520 --> 00:27:16.040
See, this is the funny thing is it's just like the t9 dialing thing

00:27:16.600 --> 00:27:22.120
We're talking to iOS users is a little hard because it almost saw they meant it almost feels like we're speaking a

00:27:22.120 --> 00:27:25.560
Completely different language when I say resize a keyboard

00:27:26.040 --> 00:27:28.440
I mean move it wherever the f*** you want

00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:31.160
And make it any size you want

00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:36.280
um That is not resizing a keyboard. Well

00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:40.520
I mean it is but but not in the way that you meant

00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:46.040
It's not a stupid feature. No, it's cool. Yeah because by shoving it to one side

00:27:46.040 --> 00:27:50.120
Especially if you have smaller hands you can you can reach all the keys significantly more easily

00:27:50.440 --> 00:27:54.200
And by being able to put it to either side that means that it can work that way for

00:27:55.560 --> 00:27:58.360
People that are left or right-handed, especially

00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:05.240
Say if you only have one hand But what he's talking about is is completely different pug boy asks

00:28:05.240 --> 00:28:08.760
But how many people really do these things often? Nobody

00:28:08.760 --> 00:28:13.320
Nobody does them often you do them one time so that your phone works really well for you

00:28:13.560 --> 00:28:19.480
I'm pretty sure I set up my keyboard like close to a decade ago and just every time I've migrated Android phones

00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:24.200
It just comes with me. Yeah, like I don't know. I don't remember last time I did anything with the keyboard

00:28:24.200 --> 00:28:29.400
But I spent quite a while like grinding on keyboard settings like forever ago found a thing that I like

00:28:29.800 --> 00:28:31.960
And now I can like go fast and everything seems good

00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:37.720
Oh man, this is like such a this is a take that just drives me crazy sifrin says

00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:43.800
Yes, it's a device not for someone like you. That's the point. I hope they don't make it like you want that would be an Android

00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:48.840
No It would just be a better iphone

00:28:49.080 --> 00:28:52.520
And then if you never wanted to turn any of that stuff on you could just not

00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:58.520
Just yeah, just buried under settings Additional settings are like basically never bad as long as they're

00:28:59.320 --> 00:29:06.840
dumped in menus So when I deeper in menus, so when I say long press guys, I want them in front of the users here. Let me let me explain what I mean

00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:14.440
um Long pressing for special characters. Oh my god, you're not going to be able to see this. Well, that's it's quite a flashbang

00:29:14.520 --> 00:29:19.160
You have there. Yeah, I know right so basically what happens is every one of my characters

00:29:19.640 --> 00:29:26.120
I have every one of my alpha characters has a secondary character on it. So q is percent w is

00:29:26.840 --> 00:29:32.760
The little hat I always forget what that thing's called I've got my parentheses over on the right over here. I've got my at on the a

00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:40.040
So all I have to do is long press for 200 milliseconds and I can type that special character and like I dialed that in

00:29:40.040 --> 00:29:47.240
So mine is shorter than 200 milliseconds. So if you type really quickly on your phone, then it's super

00:29:48.120 --> 00:29:52.200
Useful to be able to say hey if I hold it ever so slightly longer

00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:55.800
I get a special character instead of interacting one

00:29:55.800 --> 00:29:59.960
two three times In order to type a special character

00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:07.720
um Assuming that it's two menus deep which it sometimes very well can be and when I say resize your keyboard

00:30:08.280 --> 00:30:12.280
um What I mean is here. Let me get into the

00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:16.280
Let me get into the settings for this this you'll be able to see from there

00:30:19.800 --> 00:30:22.840
And I hate actually editing this because uh

00:30:24.360 --> 00:30:31.480
Like once I get kind of dialed into it. I'm yeah pretty fast when I say resize your keyboard. I mean like

00:30:32.600 --> 00:30:36.280
like that or like that

00:30:36.280 --> 00:30:42.040
or like That or like however you want basically. I mean actually

00:30:43.400 --> 00:30:50.920
Resize your keyboard. Oh reset. There we go. Um, I don't mean give me a couple options for if I like to type one-handed

00:30:56.360 --> 00:30:59.880
Yeah, yeah four presses including getting back to letters. Yes, you're right

00:31:01.800 --> 00:31:07.960
So Yeah guys, um, how many times do you change its size? That's the whole point you change it one time

00:31:08.760 --> 00:31:13.880
um And if you change phones for example, if you were to go from a regular iphone to an iphone plus

00:31:14.280 --> 00:31:18.840
You might be really used to using a smaller keyboard and it may be beneficial for you a

00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:25.400
To be able to type more accurately to just set it to a smaller size and b to get back more of your screen space

00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:31.640
That's one of the things that blows me away about the iphone 2 is how how undense the interfaces

00:31:32.040 --> 00:31:37.080
There is no way to change the home screen layout to be a by-five

00:31:37.880 --> 00:31:42.520
tile grid You can't do it. It's just by four. I was like, okay, but I

00:31:43.160 --> 00:31:47.400
I don't I don't like that. I like to see more things on my screen. It's like nope. Nope. You can't at least

00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:52.120
You can have blank spaces now at least you can have at least you can have blank spaces now moving forward

00:31:56.360 --> 00:32:01.400
Apparently you can touch the one two three button and then slide into the normal keyboard area

00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:05.000
To get special characters. Okay, let's try that the one two three button

00:32:05.560 --> 00:32:11.880
And then slide. Yes, you can so that gives you a relatively limited number of special characters because it uses up a whole row

00:32:11.880 --> 00:32:14.440
With numbers, but it does give you the main ones

00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:22.120
It's slower, but it's less slower. Thank you helpful. Yes. That's very that's very helpful to know pretty neat

00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:26.200
um, I was so disappointed though to discover that

00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:31.480
Uh, and yes that works on swift key as well because that is the apple implementation

00:32:31.480 --> 00:32:37.000
I was so disappointed to discover that my third party keyboard didn't operate the way that I would want it to because to me

00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:41.240
That's kind of the point of a third party like if the apple one is super locked down

00:32:41.320 --> 00:32:45.320
I don't really mind that too much as you know, you could install another one

00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:50.520
So anyway, there's been a lot of things that have just been

00:32:51.320 --> 00:32:57.960
a little slower And a little frustrating, but there's been a lot of things that are really good and I realize I've been really focused on the frustrating things

00:32:58.680 --> 00:33:02.040
The easy access to the dictation button is amazing

00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:05.640
Regardless of what keyboard you're using you don't have to like long press anything

00:33:05.720 --> 00:33:08.760
It's completely separate from the keyboard. It's just down at the bottom and it just works like

00:33:09.080 --> 00:33:14.680
Immediately and part of my problem with dictation on this thing is that it's like old and buggy and just kind of a piece of crap

00:33:14.760 --> 00:33:19.240
But that doesn't change the fact that I have absolutely appreciated that I also love

00:33:19.640 --> 00:33:22.200
The better integration with third party calling apps

00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:29.720
On Android Like teams when you're on Android auto, for example, the interface is terrible

00:33:29.800 --> 00:33:35.240
Yeah, I don't actually think there's a way to hang up a whatsapp call with my Android phone and my car

00:33:36.040 --> 00:33:39.480
When I when when I'm when I'm using Android auto like if I want to hang up the call

00:33:39.560 --> 00:33:46.360
I have to tell the other person to do it or I have to like do it on my phone Which you're not supposed to do uh, whereas on iOS and with carplay

00:33:47.080 --> 00:33:51.000
The interface other than just saying this is a teams call. This is a whatsapp call

00:33:51.560 --> 00:33:57.240
It looks exactly the same as a regular phone call, which is something that I really appreciate. It's a big deal

00:33:58.040 --> 00:34:03.000
um care Kakarato says oh, yeah, does it call Yvonne?

00:34:03.640 --> 00:34:09.640
Yes, it does Hey, that's a big improvement. So that's something that's pretty big. It won't call almost anyone else

00:34:10.120 --> 00:34:13.880
I haven't figured out a fast way to sync my google contacts with it just yet

00:34:14.040 --> 00:34:19.400
Oh, well, that's not it. So what's funny is my address book is like, uh, it's like a time capsule

00:34:20.040 --> 00:34:22.920
From back when I daily did an iphone. Oh, so I was like

00:34:23.800 --> 00:34:29.160
Who are all these who are all these people because I've since purged my address book multiple times

00:34:29.640 --> 00:34:36.120
Um, so that's been kind of fun It would be kind of neat actually if there would be a way to be like I haven't contacted this person

00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:41.480
Like show me all the contacts that I haven't contacted in over a decade

00:34:42.200 --> 00:34:45.160
So and then a purge all but so I haven't okay

00:34:45.240 --> 00:34:49.800
I haven't figured out the contact sync thing because it hasn't been a priority. I'm not saying you can't do it

00:34:50.200 --> 00:34:52.840
Um, but what happened is they appear to have moved it

00:34:53.320 --> 00:34:59.160
So your accounts menu used to be in the settings menu as one of the like top level things

00:34:59.640 --> 00:35:05.320
So you could stop it So accounts if I recall correctly and I might be gaslighting myself

00:35:05.720 --> 00:35:08.280
But I feel like accounts used to be here

00:35:08.840 --> 00:35:12.840
And so you had all of your Like third-party accounts and stuff

00:35:13.640 --> 00:35:21.400
Now it's not there Um, and I think the way to sync it is to use like the um

00:35:22.680 --> 00:35:26.600
Apparently go under the mail section to find accounts. Yeah, that's what I was about to say

00:35:26.600 --> 00:35:32.040
I think the way to say sync it is to use the apple mail app, which I don't use I use the gmail app

00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:35.720
So I have a whole paragraph on this as well where I was like

00:35:36.520 --> 00:35:41.960
If I use gmail and I had no intention of using the apple mail account

00:35:42.360 --> 00:35:48.600
Because of the way they've changed that interface Let me know on this by the way guys. Did it did it used to

00:35:49.480 --> 00:35:54.040
Did it used to be there like I imagine it used to because I could have sworn

00:35:54.200 --> 00:35:58.360
No, it was just in the top level of the settings menu. There was just an accounts thing

00:35:58.760 --> 00:36:03.480
Sam phoenix is saying Linus has gaslighted himself. It has always been that way. It's always been that no

00:36:03.880 --> 00:36:06.120
Frey says yes, it used to be in the main settings. Yes

00:36:07.080 --> 00:36:11.480
Yes, there used to be an accounts So as someone who hasn't touched iOS in a while

00:36:12.120 --> 00:36:15.400
I was able to kind of figure out. Okay. Maybe that's it

00:36:16.120 --> 00:36:20.680
But there is no other obvious place to sign into your gmail account

00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:26.200
Unless you use the apple mail app, which was not particularly

00:36:26.920 --> 00:36:29.880
Intuitive to me. Sorry one second. Yeah

00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:35.160
Kin Dij in full plain chat said I wrote an automation that texts every contact I have

00:36:35.800 --> 00:36:39.480
Have a great weekend and then I delete every contact that replies who dis

00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:45.800
That's actually pretty funny. Sorry, how often do you do that?

00:36:50.920 --> 00:36:57.320
Apparently it's you go to oh my god, this is terrible you go to settings apps

00:36:58.200 --> 00:37:00.200
And then mail

00:37:02.680 --> 00:37:07.640
And then Mail accounts once per year apparently

00:37:08.920 --> 00:37:15.080
That's how you that's how you add a system wide account. There you go. That's where they've moved it. Isn't that pretty similar to Android? No

00:37:17.320 --> 00:37:25.000
No, it isn't Uh, apparently it's not mail go to say okay. Oh, oh well, this is so much better

00:37:25.720 --> 00:37:29.720
Okay, so if you want to if you want to sync your your contacts

00:37:30.280 --> 00:37:32.520
Luke don't go to your phone thing not here

00:37:33.320 --> 00:37:36.440
Not here. Don't edit here. Don't look for settings. Oh

00:37:37.320 --> 00:37:43.880
Uh, how visible was my screen there? Dan not particularly. I can check. Uh, so if I just go to contacts here

00:37:43.880 --> 00:37:48.120
There's no way to do it in here because the apple way is that you go into the settings menu

00:37:48.360 --> 00:37:53.800
Which of course you can't access from the control center not even by customizing it the fact that they still

00:37:54.360 --> 00:38:04.280
Don't offer you the option To have one of the controls be the settings menu is mind boggling settings contacts accounts people are saying yes

00:38:04.440 --> 00:38:07.880
No, no, I know. Okay, so you still can't go to settings here

00:38:09.080 --> 00:38:14.280
From the control center you can't make one of you can make these things pretty much anything you can imagine under the sun

00:38:14.360 --> 00:38:19.160
Whoops. I keep out of control Except settings look at all the options I have here

00:38:19.880 --> 00:38:27.160
But one of them cannot be open the settings menu You must access the settings through the home screen and through the settings cog. So then you go apps contacts

00:38:29.560 --> 00:38:33.960
And then contact accounts Wait, but it would work in mail too, wouldn't it?

00:38:35.160 --> 00:38:37.720
It should work in basically anyone because that should be

00:38:38.680 --> 00:38:42.920
That should be an os wide sign in it's the exact same interface it used to be

00:38:44.360 --> 00:38:50.840
Oh my god, what just happened Hold on a second. Yeah add account. Yeah, this is the exact same interface that it used to be

00:38:50.920 --> 00:38:52.920
It's just that it used to be really easy to find

00:38:54.600 --> 00:38:59.240
You're expecting iOS to work like Android. No, I'm not I'm expecting iOS to work like iOS used to work

00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:04.440
So that's not really that unreasonable actually

00:39:05.160 --> 00:39:08.520
um no

00:39:09.320 --> 00:39:15.080
Add a shortcut to control center for settings. It's not there though guys

00:39:16.440 --> 00:39:21.320
I Use the open app widget. I don't know what that is

00:39:25.640 --> 00:39:30.040
Just passing on information use the open app widget, okay

00:39:30.520 --> 00:39:35.480
I'm assuming there's a there's a widget that opens any app on your phone and then you set that widget to

00:39:36.200 --> 00:39:40.920
Um settings. Okay, I mean that's how it works. Here we go. No, no. I'm gonna find it. I'm gonna find it

00:39:41.480 --> 00:39:49.320
Is it an accessibility shortcut? Maybe It'll be a widget. Can you add a widget? I'm working on it. I'm working on it

00:39:50.520 --> 00:39:55.320
Translate voice memo Screen mirroring capture. I'm sure I'm sure it's in here somewhere

00:39:56.200 --> 00:39:58.200
orientation lock

00:40:00.760 --> 00:40:03.720
Here I'm tired of you guys calling. Oh, here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go

00:40:04.440 --> 00:40:10.280
Okay So if you want to open the settings menu in the control center you go down

00:40:13.640 --> 00:40:15.960
To shortcuts open app

00:40:18.040 --> 00:40:22.600
And you can open the settings app It can't be mad at them for having too many options

00:40:23.240 --> 00:40:27.240
After being mad at them for not having enough options There we go

00:40:27.240 --> 00:40:29.400
Well, I didn't I didn't say it's too many options

00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:35.480
Settings is not an app to me, but maybe that's maybe that's maybe that's doing it wrong. I don't know

00:40:35.560 --> 00:40:38.280
I don't think so because settings isn't an app on a mac

00:40:40.360 --> 00:40:43.000
Okay, it just isn't it's not a mac though. I know but

00:40:44.040 --> 00:40:49.480
I'm just saying you can't you can't you can't point at, you know a platform that literally didn't exist

00:40:50.200 --> 00:40:54.920
When settings was not an app on the mac and go, oh, well, that's an Android invention

00:40:55.400 --> 00:41:00.920
That settings is an app or whatever like it's it's not like Android invented the idea that settings is not an app

00:41:01.080 --> 00:41:05.560
Sure. I I don't mind that too much um settings was

00:41:05.960 --> 00:41:08.840
an app prior to macOS 10

00:41:10.120 --> 00:41:16.360
Was it really someone I don't I could have sworn there were settings you could change system preferences app

00:41:17.720 --> 00:41:23.640
System preferences app Okay settings is an app on the mac. That is that is wild dude

00:41:24.600 --> 00:41:30.520
It is still an app apparently that is wild system settings has an icon on launchpad. It is an app

00:41:31.640 --> 00:41:34.360
I disagree settings is an app on Windows

00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:39.560
Is it Is it control panel is

00:41:39.640 --> 00:41:42.600
Kind of can you open it from run? It's more of a folder

00:41:44.200 --> 00:41:46.200
I'd say it's what is control panel?

00:41:54.280 --> 00:41:59.640
Help me out. I don't know The Windows okay, so Windows okay, so hold on hold on

00:42:01.160 --> 00:42:03.640
Oh man, see settings in an app is tough because like

00:42:05.080 --> 00:42:12.760
Here let's uh Here let's let's screen let's screen share for a second here. I'm just going to make sure this is muted. Okay. Okay, so line this laptop. Okay, so

00:42:14.040 --> 00:42:18.520
This is settings But I wouldn't say that this is an app

00:42:19.480 --> 00:42:26.600
You know what I mean Is that settings though? Well, I can change settings, but if I click this

00:42:28.040 --> 00:42:30.040
That's an app. Is this an app?

00:42:31.720 --> 00:42:38.280
Yeah Yeah, I think so. Okay. All right settings isn't settings is an app then because it's just application

00:42:39.560 --> 00:42:42.600
Yeah, okay. So is so everything's an application then

00:42:43.640 --> 00:42:48.600
close to it Let's see. Let's see if I can think of something that's not an application

00:42:49.080 --> 00:42:51.960
There's things that aren't an application that you control through an application

00:42:53.800 --> 00:43:01.240
Sure Would you consider explorer an application? Uh, yeah, you can end the task. Yes

00:43:02.120 --> 00:43:08.600
But you actually you actually can't because it'll automatically relaunch because there's so many dependencies on explorer still end it though

00:43:09.320 --> 00:43:15.560
Okay, this is true I mean, okay. So by that logic then yeah, basically any process is an app then pretty much

00:43:16.120 --> 00:43:20.440
But is it though? Is any process an app luke? I don't know. I don't know either

00:43:20.680 --> 00:43:23.000
I don't actually think so because like I don't think like the

00:43:23.720 --> 00:43:27.240
Like the yeah the service hosts and stuff. I don't know if I would consider those an app

00:43:27.960 --> 00:43:33.960
an application You can replace explorer with another shell. Yeah, okay, okay

00:43:36.600 --> 00:43:39.880
Settings on phone isn't an app. What do you mean settings on phone isn't an app?

00:43:40.120 --> 00:43:44.040
Yeah, I don't think being able to end the task means it's an app technically

00:43:45.160 --> 00:43:47.160
Is there a definition for this?

00:43:48.520 --> 00:43:54.040
I think if you look up the definition of app You're just going to find a lot of people arguing about app versus application

00:43:54.360 --> 00:43:58.040
And it'll be like 10 years 15 years old when people were still mad about that

00:43:58.040 --> 00:44:01.160
Like I don't I don't think we're going to find any useful discourse about this

00:44:01.800 --> 00:44:04.520
No, but I just want to see anyways is puffering out. Anyway

00:44:06.200 --> 00:44:11.880
Long story short long story short. I am services aren't apps. Yeah, I feel that way as well

00:44:11.960 --> 00:44:15.400
But you can end them I was trying to make my argument on like you can end the task

00:44:15.480 --> 00:44:20.520
So that doesn't work if services aren't apps anyways long story short

00:44:21.480 --> 00:44:26.040
I have a lot to say About my experience with the iphone. He has words

00:44:26.280 --> 00:44:33.880
I clearly I think you got to work with Uh, like hoarse or someone on it though to make sure that you're not just like missing something. No, no, that's that's fine

00:44:33.960 --> 00:44:37.320
No, I'm not I'm not worried about that. This is rough notes. Yeah. Yeah. Um

00:44:39.080 --> 00:44:44.200
Let's see if I uh Man speech detects everything. Yeah. Oh dude

00:44:44.840 --> 00:44:51.880
The way it like proactively hounds you about apps tracking you and notifications and stuff is actually amazing

00:44:52.840 --> 00:44:57.720
Because you can 100% configure all that stuff on Android. No problem

00:44:58.280 --> 00:45:03.720
But the way that it proactively is like, hey, are you sure you want this? Are you sure you want notifications?

00:45:05.000 --> 00:45:09.240
Here's the ramifications of the data this app is collecting. Are you sure about that?

00:45:10.760 --> 00:45:14.280
Kind of amazing wicked. Oh, I thought that was very cool. Yeah outstanding

00:45:14.920 --> 00:45:18.840
also, uh apple and their privacy stuff

00:45:19.560 --> 00:45:26.520
Is like obviously correct. I don't remember I don't I doubt this is in the in the doc today, but I was giving through news articles and I didn't read enough of it

00:45:26.520 --> 00:45:35.000
So sorry if this is wrong. Um But I think it was like nation state hackers from china or something gained crazy backdoors to something because

00:45:35.560 --> 00:45:39.080
Oh, yeah, some government agency was like, yeah, we need to have these no one else will get them

00:45:39.160 --> 00:45:45.800
And apple has always been like, uh, yeah, they will Um, so yeah, as we've said in the past, they're definitely correct about that

00:45:46.760 --> 00:45:49.320
There there's some things that are like definitely

00:45:50.040 --> 00:45:52.440
better about the apple way. Um

00:45:53.480 --> 00:46:01.640
But I also have an Android phone and there are definitely things that are absolutely brain dead stupid about the apple way and um

00:46:02.200 --> 00:46:04.520
The fact that we don't acknowledge this is

00:46:06.360 --> 00:46:10.360
I I just don't even know what to say like luke. Here's a here's an example

00:46:10.680 --> 00:46:15.480
So if I want to get into my like bluetooth settings, like I really want to get into my bluetooth setting

00:46:15.480 --> 00:46:20.280
So I go my control center ankle swipe. I go. Yeah. Yeah, it's from the corner. You can't do it from the top

00:46:20.680 --> 00:46:25.800
Really? Yeah, well, I'm used to that at this point. Okay. I don't agree with it. I think it's kind of stupid

00:46:26.200 --> 00:46:29.240
But that's notifications. That's control center

00:46:29.640 --> 00:46:34.280
Isn't it just the left or right side of the island not the corner? I don't think so

00:46:34.680 --> 00:46:39.320
I think it's just left or right side of the island. No Really? Yeah, look

00:46:39.320 --> 00:46:42.600
notifications corner

00:46:42.600 --> 00:46:48.120
Yeah, I'm not I'm not a fan. I just I don't know. This just seems weird. I'm not a fan. It doesn't matter. I'm used to it. Sure

00:46:48.440 --> 00:46:52.040
Um, okay, so I open up my bluetooth. I long press my bluetooth

00:46:52.040 --> 00:46:56.920
I can configure it so bluetooth is one of the main ones that I can interact with right away. Okay, so I go to my bluetooth settings finally up

00:46:57.960 --> 00:47:02.120
Why did it navigate? Through the menus like that

00:47:02.200 --> 00:47:06.200
Why would it do that? I

00:47:09.240 --> 00:47:12.680
Seems a little weird. I don't know. Oh, man

00:47:13.640 --> 00:47:18.520
Yeah, apparently luke they're saying luke is right except I just showed you guys I watched them

00:47:19.560 --> 00:47:24.200
Oh that time it did it you watched me do it last time. I watched you. Do you just have to be more over?

00:47:24.200 --> 00:47:30.920
I thought it was on on this side of the island at all Well, I'm on that side of the island and I just did it. I just it brought down the notification shade

00:47:30.920 --> 00:47:34.360
So you just have to you just have to be yeah, you just have to be more over

00:47:34.600 --> 00:47:38.200
I I think it makes more sense to be left or right side of the island not

00:47:39.560 --> 00:47:45.400
It's it's 75 percent of this side of the screen and 25 percent of the other side of the screen

00:47:46.040 --> 00:47:48.040
anyways, whatever

00:47:49.880 --> 00:47:55.640
I'm assuming that's because they still want one hand pull down to be able to be done for either one of them

00:47:56.520 --> 00:48:01.000
I guess but I there's no way I could I'm trying to think of the reasoning and that I think that makes sense

00:48:01.080 --> 00:48:03.160
There's no way I could reach notifications from there

00:48:04.360 --> 00:48:11.320
um Yeah, I mean I also don't think I would bother because if I wanted to see notifications

00:48:11.320 --> 00:48:16.200
I wouldn't even like unlock it. I I would just do that. Yeah, but what if your what if your phone's already open?

00:48:17.560 --> 00:48:20.360
Uh, yeah, would you like quick lock and then

00:48:21.000 --> 00:48:24.440
Check that way getting all the way over there for me though with one hand

00:48:24.520 --> 00:48:27.240
I'd have to have like a pop thing or something which I would

00:48:27.960 --> 00:48:31.800
I would not install on my phone. I don't I don't really like the I'm not a fan of them

00:48:31.800 --> 00:48:35.960
I like being able to slide it in and out of my pocket. Yeah, I find it catches on too many things

00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:42.520
um The swipe was designed like this before iPhones had islands or notches

00:48:42.600 --> 00:48:47.480
Yeah, but apple has like a monstrously big and good development team and I'm sure they could go

00:48:48.200 --> 00:48:53.560
I'm sure I wouldn't take that much effort based on how long t9 dialing took

00:48:54.360 --> 00:49:01.800
I'm not actually convinced By the way, this thing is causing way more mic interference than just about any other phone

00:49:01.880 --> 00:49:06.360
We've ever had on set other than my like clearly broken one. Yeah

00:49:07.480 --> 00:49:14.920
That's been a that's been That's that could be a bit of a problem. I don't think you guys are hearing it, but it's very annoying. Oh, do they not hear that?

00:49:14.920 --> 00:49:20.600
I don't think so the buzzing. Oh, if they don't right there. Um, it might be processed out. Um, oh, they can hear it

00:49:21.000 --> 00:49:27.080
Oh Then that's very loud then. Yeah, that one was particularly I don't think they could hear mine

00:49:27.880 --> 00:49:31.560
It was very quiet and sometimes if no one's talking while it happens then

00:49:32.440 --> 00:49:38.120
Um, then that'll get kind of gated out. We hear but it's not very loud. Okay. Yeah, it's loud for us

00:49:38.680 --> 00:49:41.800
We're direct monitoring. Yeah, it's like quite loud for me

00:49:42.600 --> 00:49:49.640
Crazy anyways trying to move on. Yeah, my phone done. Yeah now we talk about how the second video

00:49:49.800 --> 00:49:55.560
I'll be using it for a while. Oh, yeah. No, I meant for for this part of the show. What are those? Are you cheating on your normal ones?

00:49:57.160 --> 00:50:01.160
What? What? How could you we're not allowed to talk? What?

00:50:01.960 --> 00:50:07.800
Why is everyone so like interested in talking about whatever snack I'm having before you got here. They were like

00:50:08.440 --> 00:50:13.560
Talking a bunch about the new like gummies. Well, you're you're cheating on your regular

00:50:14.920 --> 00:50:20.040
They're still welches. They're just juicefuls. They're like fruit gushers. They have a lady like the

00:50:27.560 --> 00:50:32.200
Okay I

00:50:36.440 --> 00:50:38.440
And still delicious

00:50:41.560 --> 00:50:48.280
All right, anyways, um My man, uh, you had another video get taken down

00:50:49.880 --> 00:50:56.280
Yes, how has it was it a month ago since the last one I think so so like none in basically forever

00:50:56.920 --> 00:51:03.160
And then two in a month so sharp eyed viewers have noticed that our video about comptia's a plus certification exam

00:51:03.240 --> 00:51:06.280
Is no longer available on youtube or Floatplane

00:51:07.000 --> 00:51:09.880
Without getting into the exact details of why it's been removed

00:51:10.280 --> 00:51:17.240
Let's talk about some of the reasons that it could be more important than ever to watch our videos immediately when you see them

00:51:22.760 --> 00:51:28.920
Without naming any names There are a spin dude. There are a lot of ways that

00:51:29.400 --> 00:51:36.200
Um a video's ability to be on the internet could be threatened. I think I think that our perceived permanence

00:51:36.760 --> 00:51:44.600
um Are the perceived permanence of of videos on youtube or of of websites on the internet or pages on said websites

00:51:45.000 --> 00:51:51.880
Is a lot higher than it actually is so some examples of ways that videos can be taken down

00:51:52.600 --> 00:51:58.920
Um could be copyright overreach. Um, so, you know, whether something is or isn't fair use

00:52:01.160 --> 00:52:06.280
That's something that would have to be challenged in court. That's not the kind of thing that is just oh, yeah

00:52:06.680 --> 00:52:09.160
Well, it's fair use and then I yeah, I guess everything's chill

00:52:09.800 --> 00:52:16.120
Until a judge decides that something is or isn't fair use. It's just a defense. It's an it's an argument

00:52:17.080 --> 00:52:23.960
And I think that a lot of what we do could fall pretty easily under fair use. Uh, for example, we will

00:52:25.000 --> 00:52:29.320
And maybe recklessly maybe, um, you know making an informed

00:52:29.960 --> 00:52:37.240
You know risk choice, uh, we will we will frequently show like copyrighted films on displays that we're reviewing

00:52:37.720 --> 00:52:45.800
From our point of view, we are not negatively impacting the potential market for that film by you seeing a small snippet of it on a display in the background

00:52:46.520 --> 00:52:49.960
We are not using a substantial portion of the work

00:52:50.440 --> 00:52:54.600
Uh, have you ever had a problem with that? No, I didn't think so. No our our well

00:52:54.840 --> 00:52:59.240
What we have had problems with is watching trailers and ads on wancho

00:52:59.720 --> 00:53:07.000
Constantly, which again, I would so stupid. I would make the argument is is absolutely fair use as as media

00:53:07.080 --> 00:53:12.360
We are covering it. Um, it's if anything going to have a positive impact on the market for the work

00:53:13.080 --> 00:53:15.640
It's highly transformative in nature given that

00:53:16.520 --> 00:53:22.520
We're not just repurposing it. We are we are discussing it. Um, this is not react content where we're just like

00:53:25.160 --> 00:53:29.800
Or chair streaming, you know, like it's it's it's not it's not that. Um, and

00:53:31.640 --> 00:53:38.600
And I would I would say that, you know, if we were say for example providing commentary on, you know, a

00:53:39.480 --> 00:53:43.800
A class let's let's use the word class if we were providing commentary on a class

00:53:44.120 --> 00:53:48.440
And in order to do so needed to get into some of the specifics

00:53:48.520 --> 00:53:52.280
I would say that we would probably have a fairly strong fair use defense

00:53:52.680 --> 00:54:00.680
But that would have to play out in court and we would have to have both the means and the will to take it to that bitter bloody end

00:54:01.160 --> 00:54:05.320
um Some of the other reasons that a video could be taken down

00:54:05.960 --> 00:54:09.640
Could be, you know, just like corporate corporate butt covering

00:54:10.360 --> 00:54:16.360
And that can often that can often take the form of like a like a legal threat or a letter or a

00:54:17.000 --> 00:54:21.880
You know a polite request or you know, whatever it is It can come in it can come in various forms

00:54:22.360 --> 00:54:29.640
And in those cases there may not be any solid legal foundation for you know, why a request is being made

00:54:30.120 --> 00:54:33.560
But it might just be that You know, there's things that

00:54:33.640 --> 00:54:38.760
They don't you don't want to go to court. Yeah, they don't want people talking about and they don't want people seeing and

00:54:39.400 --> 00:54:46.120
um, you know, they Feel strongly that you know given enough time and given enough resources

00:54:46.200 --> 00:54:50.600
They could find a way to make life unpleasant enough that it's just not worth the fight

00:54:50.840 --> 00:54:58.680
And if you have enough time and enough resources in regards to lawyers, you can pretty much always find a way. Yeah, and um

00:54:59.640 --> 00:55:07.480
I don't know if I want to get into The example that that I would have of something like that that actually happened in the past before a video was ever posted

00:55:07.960 --> 00:55:13.720
Um, I just don't feel like opening that kind of worms because the rule that I made for myself about that particular company

00:55:13.800 --> 00:55:16.840
Is that we just never speak their name again? um

00:55:16.840 --> 00:55:21.320
So not going to get into that but another potential way that a video could go down is

00:55:21.960 --> 00:55:25.960
Not bribery, but just companies paying for problems to go away

00:55:26.200 --> 00:55:31.400
I want to make it very clear about this one that that is absolutely not the case here for no amount of money

00:55:31.560 --> 00:55:37.720
Would we take down a video? But um something like this did happen recently with the emulator region x

00:55:38.280 --> 00:55:43.560
Where as far as we can tell because it didn't violate nintendo's intellectual property in any way

00:55:43.640 --> 00:55:50.200
It was fully reverse and engineered region x appeared to be immune to the same takedowns that took down yuzu

00:55:50.680 --> 00:55:54.200
um but what seems to have happened was the

00:55:55.160 --> 00:56:00.040
The project owner was just offered a bag of money to quietly delete everything and go away

00:56:05.160 --> 00:56:14.440
Our discussion question Is it a problem for consumer journalism when companies use copyright protections or other legal tactics to avoid

00:56:14.840 --> 00:56:18.360
People criticizing their methods and the material they are presenting

00:56:19.000 --> 00:56:24.040
We'll let you guys be the judge

00:56:24.440 --> 00:56:28.200
We'll let you guys have a little discussion in the comments in the meantime

00:56:28.520 --> 00:56:33.480
What I would like to find out is if I am still a plus certified

00:56:34.920 --> 00:56:38.680
Because this so this is this is from last time what's on the screen right now is from last time

00:56:38.680 --> 00:56:41.480
Yeah, this is from we need to reach out. This is from last week

00:56:42.040 --> 00:56:47.560
So here's here's my certification and we're going to find out very shortly if I need to burn that or not. Yeah

00:56:48.360 --> 00:56:50.360
Oh

00:56:55.080 --> 00:56:59.640
Hold on. Hold on. No, no Hold on. Hold on

00:56:59.720 --> 00:57:02.680
Still active. Oh, I'm kind of disappointed. I want to burn it

00:57:07.800 --> 00:57:09.800
I don't think it's going to be active for low

00:57:11.560 --> 00:57:14.840
I can tell you that with a fair degree of confidence

00:57:15.560 --> 00:57:18.520
Um, maybe the flames will still burn brighter

00:57:18.920 --> 00:57:23.960
I believe it is extremely important for people to be able to have

00:57:24.920 --> 00:57:33.640
Transparency into how the certifications that in some cases could even impact the hiring practices of, you know, national security agencies

00:57:35.400 --> 00:57:43.640
Operate I think that that is An incredibly important thing and I think it is a public good that outweighs

00:57:44.200 --> 00:57:46.200
any other concerns I

00:57:47.320 --> 00:57:53.880
Have absolutely no regrets about making the video that we do that we did and for anyone who watched it

00:57:54.040 --> 00:57:57.960
I hope you enjoyed it, but it is down and it is not coming back

00:57:58.440 --> 00:58:07.160
Is all I have to say about from us Yes, there's been precedent set in the past that when this happens, uh, people tend to re upload the things

00:58:07.960 --> 00:58:17.640
Well, there's nothing we can really do about that They would have already archived it because we did not keep any copies. No, so even the even the source video files

00:58:17.720 --> 00:58:21.800
We do not have them. Oh, okay. Yeah Yeah

00:58:21.800 --> 00:58:28.040
I purged them myself. Oh, did you really? Yeah. Good for you, Dan. Mm-hmm people auto archive all our stuff though

00:58:28.680 --> 00:58:31.480
No, I command line gone. I don't mean

00:58:32.360 --> 00:58:37.880
Internally, oh Or people have like Plex scripts for float planes stuff. Hmm. Yeah

00:58:37.960 --> 00:58:41.560
Yeah, yeah, it's pretty well like a bunch of people have it

00:58:42.120 --> 00:58:48.120
It's actually kind of inconvenient for our server infrastructure. Uh, yeah, we've fixed apple. Well, we throttled it. Yeah, nice

00:58:48.200 --> 00:58:53.560
Yeah, we did that like a long time ago Nice and people didn't notice for a super long time because they're all just running scripts

00:58:53.800 --> 00:58:58.120
So it was still downloaded by the time they wanted it right because like it's not throttled that much

00:58:58.600 --> 00:59:01.880
I had to ask aj to unthrottle the office

00:59:02.440 --> 00:59:05.960
Yeah, what were you doing when you did that though? You downloaded like a ton of stuff

00:59:05.960 --> 00:59:10.120
I downloaded every single exclusive. Yeah, so like, okay

00:59:13.160 --> 00:59:20.600
At once multiple times Yeah, but that was for work. So I guess you can hit the data. Yeah

00:59:21.640 --> 00:59:30.280
Yeah Anyway, if you were looking for a way to help us make up for any losses that we might have incurred for not being able to keep our video up

00:59:31.400 --> 00:59:34.840
Is it time? You could send a merge message and

00:59:36.600 --> 00:59:40.120
We've got something pretty exciting that you can check out this week

00:59:42.920 --> 00:59:45.880
Oh my goodness, man. Oh, they're here

00:59:46.920 --> 00:59:51.720
They're here. Look, look at how happy. Look how happy Dan is. This is the second time I've smiled. Look at

00:59:53.000 --> 00:59:56.200
That's crazy. You've you've never seen Dan that happy

01:00:02.920 --> 01:00:07.880
But this is such a great picture. He's like, look at this. You can't see my belt

01:00:08.760 --> 01:00:12.280
It makes the pocket go away. It's amazing. It's so nice. Look the arms fit

01:00:13.480 --> 01:00:16.760
This is a medium. There's a medium that I'm wearing a medium

01:00:16.840 --> 01:00:19.960
You want to see another happy Dan go down to the last photo? Oh, yeah

01:00:20.760 --> 01:00:23.320
Oh, no, there's too too many photos too far

01:00:24.360 --> 01:00:27.960
Wait, we have long sleeves as well. I'm wearing one right now and it goes to his wrist

01:00:28.760 --> 01:00:32.680
Look how happy he is about this. It's a medium Amazing

01:00:32.680 --> 01:00:38.600
This has never happened. I've I've done the laundry like almost every day this week because I took home one of these

01:00:39.080 --> 01:00:41.800
And every day I'd wake up and be like, oh

01:00:43.960 --> 01:00:47.720
Okay, well I want to wear it again. So

01:00:48.600 --> 01:00:50.840
So, yeah, I just I have to buy like a ton of them

01:00:51.640 --> 01:00:56.760
I guess pretty exciting. Um, so yeah, we have tall blank t-shirts and long sleeves

01:00:57.000 --> 01:01:05.320
It's our signature blank t Improved to fit taller lankier builds custom made to provide the comfort and durability that we want in a t

01:01:05.800 --> 01:01:09.800
Available with short or long sleeve. Oh wait, that's in there twice. Well, whatever the point is

01:01:10.040 --> 01:01:14.840
It uses our tried and true 60 40 cotton poly blend that you can find on most of our printed LTT shirts

01:01:14.920 --> 01:01:21.160
We are slowly rolling these out. So the initial inventory is a little limited. So if you want them get them

01:01:21.320 --> 01:01:28.600
It's to gauge interest. It's only black for now But our hope is to expand our tall lineup in the months and years to come

01:01:29.160 --> 01:01:33.480
Also for the store this week. The tech sack is finally back in stock

01:01:35.240 --> 01:01:39.960
The five star reviewed tech sack. Let's go go check out people's reviews

01:01:40.680 --> 01:01:46.840
Great as a diabetic sack apparently. Oh, that makes sense. So that's never thought about that. Good to know the greatest sack

01:01:47.080 --> 01:01:50.520
So many pockets. I use it as a toiletries bag. Me too

01:01:51.240 --> 01:01:54.200
No, not I hold on. I was reading a review. Oh

01:01:55.400 --> 01:01:59.640
Where'd it go? I use it as a toiletries bag for travel. Um

01:02:01.320 --> 01:02:06.120
Thank you. Thank you for that. Anyway, the point is check it out tech sack finally back in stock

01:02:07.320 --> 01:02:12.920
Uh, what else is that? I think that I think that's pretty much it for the store So merge messages if you want to leave a merge message, all you got to do is go to LTT Store

01:02:12.920 --> 01:02:16.600
Add something to your cart and in the cart whenever we're live and accepting merge messages

01:02:16.600 --> 01:02:21.160
There'll be a box for merge messages You fill out your merge message you place your order and it'll go to producer Dan

01:02:21.480 --> 01:02:26.200
Who will pop it up down there so you can shout out your mom or your girlfriend just getting there and hop watching

01:02:26.360 --> 01:02:28.760
So you can shout out your dad or your boyfriend. Um

01:02:30.280 --> 01:02:34.520
Okay, we actually we actually do have women who watch the show. Yes, it's remarkable to me

01:02:34.600 --> 01:02:40.520
But they they they do not very many and say merge messages. They're real and I see them. I see you. Thank you

01:02:40.920 --> 01:02:45.400
Um, anyway, it'll go to Dan who will pop it down here or who will forward it to someone who can answer your question

01:02:45.400 --> 01:02:49.800
Or who will answer it himself or who will send it to me and luke as a curated merge message

01:02:49.800 --> 01:02:58.040
And we're going to show you how that works Sure, I've got a couple here. How do you guys handle a healthy workplace environments in a heavily male dominated industry?

01:02:58.440 --> 01:03:01.880
I'm in school for a cs and work in construction as my day job

01:03:01.960 --> 01:03:08.360
And it can be hard as a woman being disregarded. Oh, you mean like socially healthy work. How topic how topical exactly

01:03:08.520 --> 01:03:12.600
Um I mean ask questions

01:03:13.320 --> 01:03:22.600
Yeah It's not always that's I mean, that's that's not always a guarantee you can ask someone

01:03:23.000 --> 01:03:26.680
Does this work for you? Are you comfortable with this and they might say?

01:03:27.160 --> 01:03:33.080
Yes, they might feel pressured into saying yes in the scenario if you are like their boss or something like that

01:03:33.480 --> 01:03:40.280
That's a that's a you got to be careful with that line. Um, I mean one of the things that I like to do is I will explicitly say

01:03:41.000 --> 01:03:45.320
If not, that's fine We'll do this instead

01:03:45.400 --> 01:03:52.920
So that there's a clear out give the give the other option. I have to confess sometimes. I'm in a hurry and I forget to like

01:03:54.280 --> 01:03:58.360
Do every step Um

01:03:58.440 --> 01:04:04.840
Yeah, I don't I don't know. I mean I would say I would say that it's not for any it's never for any lack of intent

01:04:05.480 --> 01:04:10.600
Or sorry, it's never for a lack of intent to make the environment

01:04:11.560 --> 01:04:17.960
Like good, but I mean this is yeah, this is this is a great point poison says seems weird to ask men how they manage

01:04:18.600 --> 01:04:23.640
Like making things better for women in a male dominated industry I don't know all I can really do is ask questions because a lot of the time

01:04:23.960 --> 01:04:29.080
I just don't fully understand the challenges and I and I can't unless you tell me and

01:04:29.880 --> 01:04:34.200
Even if one person tells me doesn't mean that that's going to apply to another person you can't

01:04:34.920 --> 01:04:43.640
You can't really like this is why This is why the entire concept of you know sexism or racism is just so fucking stupid, right? Because

01:04:44.360 --> 01:04:50.440
Trying to bundle individuals into any kind of bucket is just a complete waste of time making assumptions

01:04:50.760 --> 01:04:53.640
You will always be making assumptions. And so um

01:04:54.920 --> 01:05:01.320
I know I know one of the the main things I've heard is the whole like people react differently to the same thing

01:05:02.040 --> 01:05:05.000
Uh depending on if it's coming from like a man or a woman

01:05:05.080 --> 01:05:09.560
So like if you try to be assertive as a man people see it as like

01:05:09.960 --> 01:05:14.920
Oh, yeah, good good personality trait. You try to be assertive as a woman and people see you as uh, I don't know if I can say

01:05:14.920 --> 01:05:19.320
This word or not bitchy, um Probably I don't know

01:05:20.600 --> 01:05:24.120
So I think just try to be careful to not try the one who's always cancelled

01:05:25.240 --> 01:05:28.120
No, I'm saying that's oh my goodness. I'm not saying that's a thing

01:05:28.600 --> 01:05:31.960
Um, I'm saying that's a that's a line of complaint that I

01:05:32.680 --> 01:05:36.920
Have heard people in that sphere discuss being a problem at their workplaces

01:05:37.160 --> 01:05:41.720
So try to you know, just treat people the same. So if if someone's being assertive

01:05:42.440 --> 01:05:46.920
Treat that person the same that you would treat anyone else being assertive. We have someone. Um

01:05:47.960 --> 01:05:54.040
To make this harder to identify I'm gonna say we at some point had someone

01:05:54.760 --> 01:06:03.240
A woman in like a supervisory slash managerial basically who had subordinates who reported to her. Um, and

01:06:04.920 --> 01:06:06.920
And I remember having to

01:06:08.200 --> 01:06:15.800
explicitly Multiple times make it clear that my expectation was

01:06:16.680 --> 01:06:18.680
Forthrightness and pushback

01:06:20.920 --> 01:06:24.760
Like to me um And that like

01:06:24.760 --> 01:06:30.680
Like that was good And anything else was not good because it's it's possible. That's another thing. It's

01:06:31.880 --> 01:06:36.040
Everyone comes into every single conversation ever with their own custom baggage

01:06:36.680 --> 01:06:40.040
So that person may have gotten a lot of pushback for that type of thing in the past

01:06:40.360 --> 01:06:43.720
So you have to try to make sure that they understand that that's like something that you Exactly

01:06:43.720 --> 01:06:47.640
I'm not saying it's a bad thing that that I had to say it as I well it is

01:06:47.800 --> 01:06:51.880
It's a bad thing that this individual had experiences in the past that led

01:06:52.760 --> 01:06:57.640
To that not being something that they could assume is there is their right in the workplace to

01:06:58.200 --> 01:07:01.560
to Give their opinion in a in a in a

01:07:02.440 --> 01:07:04.760
I wouldn't say like not forceful, but in like a

01:07:05.720 --> 01:07:09.960
I don't know in like in a in a confident manner in a in a in a assertive

01:07:10.280 --> 01:07:15.160
Yeah assertive manner because that's totally fine and that should be totally fine

01:07:15.800 --> 01:07:21.240
And you can you can say something assertively but still be open to feedback on it if that makes sense

01:07:22.040 --> 01:07:25.320
Yeah, of course you can you can confidently hold the position and say it assertively

01:07:25.400 --> 01:07:30.280
Yeah, and look, I mean something Yvonne tells me all the time is that like I

01:07:31.560 --> 01:07:39.400
I I tend to Overpower the conversation sometimes whether it's intentional or not by just being confident in my position

01:07:40.120 --> 01:07:44.200
being kind of loud being kind of energetic and and

01:07:44.920 --> 01:07:51.320
um And kind of bombastic in my body language and bombastic and and so she'll say like look

01:07:51.560 --> 01:07:56.120
Whether you're intending to or not you can kind of make it hard to talk to you sometimes

01:07:56.600 --> 01:08:03.000
And so you know in those in those situations. It's something that I have to be like actively aware of

01:08:03.480 --> 01:08:09.560
And go like okay. This is a this is a modern thing for Linus. I've seen him do it. Here's my here's my take

01:08:09.880 --> 01:08:16.280
And this is why I think we should do it But um you guys go I'm not married to it. Yeah

01:08:17.080 --> 01:08:25.080
And he'll do the he'll sit back Because he's like physically removing himself from the conversation because if he doesn't he can't help himself

01:08:36.680 --> 01:08:40.600
Well The thing is that a lot of the time the answer is obvious to me

01:08:40.920 --> 01:08:44.280
Which is a blessing because I can come to the answer really quickly

01:08:44.600 --> 01:08:48.120
But also a curse because I can be wrong like anybody. Yeah

01:08:48.760 --> 01:08:52.520
um And you also kind of need everybody to get there

01:08:53.000 --> 01:08:57.880
um And you know in some scenarios someone might get there before you do and other scenarios

01:08:58.360 --> 01:09:03.400
Uh, you might get there before them and you need everybody to get to at least a similar spot

01:09:03.640 --> 01:09:07.560
You might not get a hundred percent agreement across the whole board, but you need everybody to be

01:09:08.120 --> 01:09:12.360
E buy-in. Yeah buy-in is a word that matters to me a lot because

01:09:12.840 --> 01:09:17.320
Whether you're talking disagree but buy-in. Yeah, if you're talking to a supervisor if you're talking to a subordinate

01:09:17.480 --> 01:09:22.680
It doesn't matter you need to get buy-in or you're never going to get anything done

01:09:23.400 --> 01:09:29.160
Because they will either undermine you or override you if you don't have buy-in you have to have buy-in

01:09:29.240 --> 01:09:33.080
That's why I mean I've talked about this on the show before everything is sales life is sales

01:09:33.560 --> 01:09:39.320
You're selling everything you're selling yourself to your potential partner. Uh, you're selling yourself to

01:09:40.520 --> 01:09:47.160
you know the You're selling yourself to your current partner hoping you stay together. Yeah, it's always sales

01:09:47.320 --> 01:09:52.760
Sales never stops You're selling yourself to you know the interviewer

01:09:53.240 --> 01:09:57.960
You're selling yourself to the you know the freaking the waiter at the restaurant

01:09:58.520 --> 01:10:04.840
Why should they give you good service? Why should they why should they pay attention to you? I know it's that job, but like

01:10:05.560 --> 01:10:12.760
That's a good customer. Yeah Yeah, because like the I don't know the I find the easiest way to

01:10:13.720 --> 01:10:16.120
Have service workers go above and beyond

01:10:17.080 --> 01:10:20.520
When they're serving you is to just not be a giant

01:10:23.320 --> 01:10:31.240
They have to deal with them so often That if you're just like refreshing and you're not rushing them too much and you just kind of chill in like usually they're super nice

01:10:32.040 --> 01:10:37.720
Because so many other people are jerks pretty much everyone in the world is nice if you're nice to them

01:10:37.720 --> 01:10:43.400
Yeah, it's it's a pretty cool life hack. I mean there are exceptions, right? Sure like there are just you know

01:10:43.400 --> 01:10:47.400
Maybe they're just having a horrible day or there's just like your fault filthy racists

01:10:47.560 --> 01:10:50.200
And you happen to be the wrong color and walk up to them. Yeah

01:10:51.320 --> 01:10:54.120
You know like there's not much you can do about that

01:10:54.920 --> 01:10:59.800
Yeah, um Yeah

01:10:59.800 --> 01:11:04.840
Don't be addicted people who handle your food. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, or I mean just anyone

01:11:06.200 --> 01:11:08.200
Yeah

01:11:09.880 --> 01:11:14.840
It's it's just honestly way Less stressful of a way to go through life

01:11:15.880 --> 01:11:22.680
All right, Dan, um You got anything else heavy for us or maybe something later. No, it's all lighter after this nice

01:11:23.560 --> 01:11:28.600
Yeah, it was a it was a tough one to start with start guys like our lanky tall fit t-shirts

01:11:29.400 --> 01:11:32.600
They're not technically lighter. They might even actually be heavier

01:11:32.680 --> 01:11:35.320
But you can get them and by getting them you can support

01:11:35.960 --> 01:11:40.600
More shirts on the store being made in tall format. Not that I have an agenda

01:11:40.600 --> 01:11:45.160
Yeah, no horse in this race at all by 400 of each of them. That would be cool

01:11:45.960 --> 01:11:51.080
Yeah, then we might get graphic ones or other stuff, right? Yeah, if these do well. Yeah, uh, let's see

01:11:52.120 --> 01:11:56.280
Something a little lighter. Uh during the massacre that happened in oh, no wait, hold on

01:12:00.440 --> 01:12:07.240
I'm building a computer to attach to my tv. Is there a good way to have it automatically wake or turn on when turning on the tv?

01:12:08.200 --> 01:12:10.200
That's a good question

01:12:11.400 --> 01:12:18.200
Does does does see what's it called? See whatever see whatever see what's uh, what's the stupid HDMI control thing called?

01:12:19.160 --> 01:12:24.440
Um, I can't think of a way. I think HDMI c e is it c ec? I think so

01:12:25.080 --> 01:12:27.080
Yeah, yeah c ec. Um

01:12:29.240 --> 01:12:33.640
Does c ec work On consumer graphics cards

01:12:34.360 --> 01:12:37.880
Not that I'm aware of hook up that power switch to that computer

01:12:38.600 --> 01:12:45.880
Oh, I mean, yeah, you could split the line to an rf signal You go blind by like a do both you could buy like a universal remote or something like that

01:12:45.960 --> 01:12:55.800
Like I've still got an old harmony that Is like my one button power everything on but I think they're asking for c ec and apparently some Intel nooks

01:12:56.280 --> 01:12:59.800
supported it You need adapters, but that won't wake it

01:13:00.680 --> 01:13:05.800
Interesting. I don't know man. I mean c ec is such a flaming pile of garbage

01:13:06.600 --> 01:13:12.040
As it is like even on devices that support it properly I wouldn't imagine that adding some like weird accessory

01:13:12.440 --> 01:13:19.160
That like has HDMI passed through and can also like plug in an Ethernet cable with the magic packet or something like I wouldn't imagine that's

01:13:20.280 --> 01:13:22.280
Gonna work

01:13:23.480 --> 01:13:27.800
I have a switch bot that presses the button connected to home assistant

01:13:27.880 --> 01:13:32.200
Yeah, the fact that that is the solution tells me everything I need to know

01:13:32.520 --> 01:13:39.400
I remember with the follow-up bomb. I just split it so that it played the like toy bomb sound and turned the computer on

01:13:41.880 --> 01:13:46.440
So you just make it do both So you open up your tv

01:13:46.680 --> 01:13:51.240
You find the power switch circuit you splice your computer power switch into it

01:13:51.240 --> 01:13:56.680
You're pressing you're you're pressing the power switch on your tv. They're using a controller, right?

01:13:58.200 --> 01:14:01.720
You can open that controller up um

01:14:01.720 --> 01:14:03.960
That is a terrible solution. Oh, it's awesome

01:14:04.920 --> 01:14:08.920
I like the way luke works man after my own heart

01:14:09.640 --> 01:14:13.080
It's totally doable got a string attached to the breaker for the living room

01:14:14.680 --> 01:14:17.000
Hot glue the power button down on the pc

01:14:17.720 --> 01:14:24.840
Danthony says it works on Linux Sure, but I don't have three days to learn how to do it. So that's that's tough

01:14:25.480 --> 01:14:33.800
That's pretty tough I turn on my tv and use moonlight to wake up my pc. Yeah, there's lots of there's lots of different ways

01:14:33.880 --> 01:14:37.320
And none of them are what you were asking. So I think the answer is no

01:14:39.320 --> 01:14:45.640
It's kind of looking that way. I'm sorry unless a wire running from the remote to the computer. Okay, that would be hilarious

01:14:45.640 --> 01:14:47.880
Oh, definitely work though. So you actually just like

01:14:48.760 --> 01:14:54.360
When you press that button you like put two leads on it that are just they just short and turn on the computer

01:14:54.360 --> 01:15:01.560
How about a foot switch out underneath the couch the problem is with anything like that because it's a momentary like like short, right?

01:15:02.040 --> 01:15:08.920
Yeah, I turn my computers on with the Screwdriver all the time. That's actually not bad. You could just get another remote for your computer

01:15:09.080 --> 01:15:15.480
Silverstone has that little remote you could do a clapper, you know to turn the lights on and off and it closes the switch

01:15:16.120 --> 01:15:20.520
Uh for the pc you do like a really sick going rocket league and cheer for yourself

01:15:21.400 --> 01:15:26.600
It just turns off just hibernates. Well, you could disable the power button to like close down in

01:15:27.240 --> 01:15:31.400
Windows I vote for this. I use uh that looks like great. Yeah

01:15:32.200 --> 01:15:35.720
For my lighthouses. I have those like remote things. Yeah

01:15:36.120 --> 01:15:39.960
So you got to pull this apart hot glue at the back of the other one from inside the

01:15:40.440 --> 01:15:46.440
The controller and put it in In your tv remote, which is somehow big enough to house this. Don't worry about it

01:15:47.400 --> 01:15:50.120
So you 3d print a new tv remote housing

01:15:50.760 --> 01:15:56.440
Yeah, that sounds like even more work than a lot of the other stuff. No, I want to do this. It sounds awesome. Oh my god

01:15:57.960 --> 01:16:06.280
Weekend project. I'll uh I'll have done until half have finished and then I won't be able to use any of my living rooms

01:16:09.320 --> 01:16:16.360
Sounds like a pretty good weekend Who needs a living room when you have this project to pay attention to you've just described the last 15 years of my life

01:16:16.600 --> 01:16:20.200
It could be like Sebastian's room if you guys watch the

01:16:20.840 --> 01:16:24.680
Fantastic video. It's a pastions. Uh AMD ultimate upgrade thing

01:16:25.160 --> 01:16:29.240
Um where he has 10 million projects going on, but it doesn't look like it

01:16:29.880 --> 01:16:31.880
That was very impressive

01:16:33.480 --> 01:16:35.800
I think he might have tied it up a little bit for us. Maybe

01:16:37.080 --> 01:16:40.920
Maybe Question for you. Hmm

01:16:41.400 --> 01:16:43.880
I asked you to watch a particular video on the channel

01:16:44.760 --> 01:16:51.800
Did you watch it? What video I don't remember this at all how to get a 500 dollar motherboard for 50 bucks

01:16:52.600 --> 01:16:56.760
Oh, yeah, the motherboard resurrection. That was awesome. That was like that was a sick video

01:16:57.160 --> 01:17:02.520
I didn't remember that you even asked me to I happily watched the whole thing. That was probably the most fun

01:17:02.680 --> 01:17:05.880
I've had shooting a video in a very long time

01:17:06.120 --> 01:17:11.000
Genuinely very entertaining to watch absolutely stuff that like I think it has the you know

01:17:11.000 --> 01:17:13.560
The spirit of why we started doing scrapyard wars where it's like

01:17:14.280 --> 01:17:17.400
You're finding watching the value ticker. We have

01:17:18.040 --> 01:17:22.920
Had historically a problem of our videos having like trackable elements in them

01:17:23.320 --> 01:17:26.120
and being able to watch like like alex updating you with like

01:17:26.360 --> 01:17:32.440
How much money you've saved versus how much money you spent as you go through was mind blowing the the level of

01:17:33.400 --> 01:17:39.480
Wow, that board is Mangled and then you were able to fix it was mind blowing and the

01:17:40.120 --> 01:17:45.480
Lack of expense in the things required to fix it. Yeah that that uh, whatever

01:17:45.960 --> 01:17:50.040
Yeah, that thing it's like a hundred bucks under under a hundred bucks. I think it was 70 or something

01:17:50.120 --> 01:17:53.720
Yeah, by the time you pay shipping and taxes it's like you're under a hundred bucks. That's not cheap

01:17:53.960 --> 01:17:59.640
But you buy a broken board you buy that you fix it now you have this tool permanently

01:18:00.120 --> 01:18:03.400
And you just saved money on the board. Yeah, it was still cheaper

01:18:03.880 --> 01:18:08.600
That was super cool. There's been a bunch of videos that have come out lately that I've just organically

01:18:09.160 --> 01:18:13.000
Wanted to click on and watched the whole thing and was like, wow, that was really good

01:18:13.800 --> 01:18:15.960
You guys have been doing great. Well, thanks. Yeah

01:18:17.400 --> 01:18:21.480
Yeah, no, that was that was a lot of fun and the editors have been doing a great job

01:18:21.560 --> 01:18:26.760
They've been putting in the extra they've been putting in the extra effort on those like you said those trackable elements

01:18:26.760 --> 01:18:29.720
I think that was way better in scrapyard wars 9 than previous ones

01:18:30.120 --> 01:18:33.240
Like tracking the budgets and like what deals we're working on

01:18:33.720 --> 01:18:37.800
That was one of the reasons that first of all the first one was was delayed

01:18:38.040 --> 01:18:43.640
And then second of all one of the middle episodes was delayed because I basically sent it back and I was like

01:18:44.840 --> 01:18:48.920
Guys, you've done a great job With the time that you had

01:18:49.240 --> 01:18:56.040
Here's more time Go to a greater job because it it needs that and there's another one coming soon

01:18:56.440 --> 01:18:59.480
That was also sent back to the kitchen for

01:19:00.360 --> 01:19:06.840
I asked for about 10 minutes to be removed from it And then I also asked for the tracking to be to be updated a little bit

01:19:06.920 --> 01:19:12.440
So it was a little clearer what people are talking about but the good news is that the final cut is awesome

01:19:13.240 --> 01:19:20.440
They they finally did it You know how we've talked a thousand times and I've rejected the idea a thousand times about doing like a pc build challenge

01:19:20.520 --> 01:19:23.880
Just instead of going out and buying stuff just using our warehouse

01:19:24.520 --> 01:19:27.960
See who can build the best pc out of like the parts we have here. So

01:19:29.000 --> 01:19:34.040
Credit to david he came up with a way to make it not stupid. Okay, because you know how my response was always like

01:19:34.120 --> 01:19:39.800
Well, okay, it's just it's just like go get the best thing like that's not that's not a challenge

01:19:39.880 --> 01:19:41.880
There's no way to win. There's no way to lose. You just

01:19:43.160 --> 01:19:47.800
Get stuff and build a computer. It's not relatable. Is it all broken things? They had no internet

01:19:48.600 --> 01:19:52.600
Okay, so they weren't allowed to look up pricing or information or specs or anything

01:19:53.400 --> 01:19:56.680
They had a $1,000 budget with penalties for going over

01:19:58.200 --> 01:20:01.720
And the goal was to build for going over do they have to guess the price? Yeah

01:20:02.360 --> 01:20:05.000
So it was it was an are we out of touch video

01:20:06.120 --> 01:20:12.120
So they had a pretty good angle. They had to know the price with no internet access. Wow, and then they had to um

01:20:12.280 --> 01:20:17.800
Sorry, what was the third thing that said that no internet they had to oh, yeah, and they had to have the best performance possible

01:20:18.520 --> 01:20:23.080
So the best performance don't go over budget. You can't research online

01:20:23.400 --> 01:20:29.560
So it was like Oh and to get parts because there's a lot of things we only have one of it was a draft system

01:20:30.200 --> 01:20:37.320
So they were given 45 seconds Team one to go grab a part team two to go grab a part team three to go grab a part

01:20:37.480 --> 01:20:40.360
Then team three goes again then team two then team one

01:20:40.920 --> 01:20:43.960
and So there were cases where

01:20:44.440 --> 01:20:48.680
Someone wanted something that was gone. Someone got the board. I wanted uh, it should be really good

01:20:48.760 --> 01:20:57.160
I think the I think David and I talked about it and we agree that the original like 32 or 35 minute cut is good

01:20:58.120 --> 01:21:00.600
But my issue when I talked to him about it was like look

01:21:02.440 --> 01:21:09.400
There's two great videos here There's one that is super driven by personality and there's one that is super nuts and bolts on the hardware

01:21:10.360 --> 01:21:13.560
There's only room for one video on the in the youtube cut

01:21:13.640 --> 01:21:18.120
It's got to be one or the other and so that's why we ended up and I kind of went which one is it?

01:21:18.520 --> 01:21:23.480
Yeah, it's the personality one. It's the it's the engaging fun version

01:21:23.880 --> 01:21:26.920
So what I think is going to happen is I think we're going to get the

01:21:27.800 --> 01:21:31.880
The the youtube cut on youtube and I think we're going to get like the david snider

01:21:32.520 --> 01:21:35.880
Cut nice on Floatplane nice Um

01:21:35.880 --> 01:21:43.480
Sick, so I think that's I think that I think that's the right way to kind of not have that footage just lost to the ether

01:21:44.040 --> 01:21:48.360
um Have people be able to enjoy it because there is a little bit more

01:21:49.320 --> 01:21:52.600
Analysis and thought process behind some of the parts

01:21:53.000 --> 01:21:58.040
But sometimes I was just like I was watching it and I like I could feel myself tuning out because of how many

01:21:58.600 --> 01:22:01.640
you know first word latency

01:22:02.360 --> 01:22:11.400
Uh balancing act of the CL whatever like not that. I was just trying to come up with something that was kind of jargony, but basically just a lot of

01:22:12.840 --> 01:22:16.760
Wiffle waffling about which one to get and and and discussion

01:22:17.240 --> 01:22:21.800
And if you are super super super techie, it'll be really interesting

01:22:22.280 --> 01:22:29.560
But for the other Two million people that are going to watch the video. I think it's just it's not that engaging. So we had to

01:22:30.280 --> 01:22:32.280
We had to give her the ol

01:22:34.120 --> 01:22:41.480
Anyway Kaboom pow says I've never heard so much joy out of Linus than in that motherboard repair video

01:22:41.880 --> 01:22:49.800
This man loves getting some deals That's part of the reason why it was fun to watch that was like you clearly cared and really wanted to make every one of them

01:22:49.800 --> 01:22:56.280
Work dude, which mirrors how you would feel if you were actually just doing this dude making every one of them work

01:22:56.440 --> 01:23:05.560
Was not the goal That was not the plan fair, but you cared about making every one of them once it was attainable. Yeah, I wanted it so bad

01:23:08.120 --> 01:23:12.040
Once it felt like it was in reach dude, I would have been happy if I got half of them

01:23:12.040 --> 01:23:19.080
I would have been thrilled. Yeah, if I had done half of them Well, I think you still would have been profitable on half. Yeah, I think so. Yeah pretty sure

01:23:20.360 --> 01:23:22.840
And some of them weren't like crazy deals either

01:23:23.880 --> 01:23:27.960
They were all pretty good But some of them were clearly better deals than others, which is fine

01:23:27.960 --> 01:23:31.640
Like if if you were really trying to do this and like make money off of it, you could

01:23:32.440 --> 01:23:37.800
you know Spend be a bit more picky about certain I think purchases

01:23:38.360 --> 01:23:43.560
Um, but it was it was the right decision for the video to try to like push the line a little bit

01:23:44.600 --> 01:23:51.160
Um, Steve J3D says I love the $50 motherboard video didn't like the we try and break things for fun when you posted the other day

01:23:51.720 --> 01:23:58.920
We did not try to break things for fun In fact, as far as I know nothing was broken that motherboard had issues already

01:23:59.400 --> 01:24:03.240
They didn't affect our ability to like play a game and run Cinebench the indulging thoughts one

01:24:03.800 --> 01:24:07.880
Yeah, not when you sprayed water all over it while it was running that didn't break anything

01:24:08.520 --> 01:24:15.960
Okay, and none of the parts that we were using for any of the actually that one might have but none of the parts that we were using were

01:24:16.680 --> 01:24:22.920
Not it was clearly mentioned in the video that those were all parts that were like already having issues and were on their way out

01:24:22.920 --> 01:24:27.400
Yeah, yeah, so so don't uh, yeah, don't don't overthink it

01:24:27.480 --> 01:24:30.920
We are not about destroying perfectly working stuff here

01:24:31.320 --> 01:24:35.320
Um, and so there's been a lot of pitches over the years that would result in

01:24:35.880 --> 01:24:44.520
hardware dying That would have been videos that would have gotten millions of views that Linus has said no to just throwing that out there

01:24:45.480 --> 01:24:49.640
Shraft 2k says thanks for jacking up ebay mobile prices for their foreseeable future

01:24:50.200 --> 01:24:56.280
This is a criticism that we get a lot. Um, you know every time we kind of he might be getting but

01:24:56.760 --> 01:25:00.280
Sorry, he might just be ribbing you but yeah, maybe it but it's it's a criticism

01:25:00.280 --> 01:25:04.760
We legitimately get a fair bit whenever we do a video about something that's kind of like a

01:25:05.640 --> 01:25:10.520
Like an open secret but like a or like a you know a niche community

01:25:10.760 --> 01:25:16.120
Or our niche community. I think probably the best example of it was Windows 9

01:25:16.680 --> 01:25:21.240
Oh, yeah, when we oh, yeah, when we talked about that modified Windows

01:25:21.800 --> 01:25:26.120
8 iso that was super cool and and all the bloat was stripped out

01:25:26.760 --> 01:25:32.040
At a time when Windows 10 was still kind of a steaming pile of garbage and people didn't want to migrate to it

01:25:32.840 --> 01:25:35.880
that project probably

01:25:35.880 --> 01:25:38.840
Directly because of us highlighting it

01:25:41.160 --> 01:25:47.400
Came under pretty intense scrutiny from microsoft now I believe since then they've kind of risen from the shadows with a different method

01:25:47.960 --> 01:25:52.600
Where you download the iso from microsoft and then you download a modifier script from them instead of

01:25:52.680 --> 01:25:56.440
downloading the modified iso because that was microsoft's problem. You were downloading Windows

01:25:57.320 --> 01:26:00.520
from them which is

01:26:00.520 --> 01:26:03.720
Bad kind of but here's my here's my counterpoint

01:26:05.640 --> 01:26:08.680
I didn't post that on the internet

01:26:08.920 --> 01:26:18.680
um I didn't make microsoft's terms of service and copyright and you know intellectual property protection

01:26:19.320 --> 01:26:26.920
um And what is my job if not to talk about what's going on in tech and sometimes it's going to

01:26:27.400 --> 01:26:33.080
Sometimes it's going to make You know the prices go up on used hardware or sometimes it's going to

01:26:33.880 --> 01:26:38.840
Draw unwanted attention to a to a project

01:26:39.560 --> 01:26:46.600
but like Isn't isn't it my job to talk about what's going on in tech sometimes it's going to cause

01:26:53.560 --> 01:26:57.320
Sometimes it's going to cause problems for me careful. We have to burn that you can't break it yet

01:26:58.040 --> 01:27:02.760
But like that's my job, right? Isn't it? Yeah, no, I mean I defend it

01:27:04.920 --> 01:27:08.760
I defend it and to be clear sharp was just rubbing you or shraf sorry

01:27:09.320 --> 01:27:14.760
And I think we're going to have a video coming and that's actually the main reason why i'm addressing this

01:27:15.640 --> 01:27:20.040
We're going to have a video coming that there's going to be a lot of people

01:27:20.840 --> 01:27:26.360
Coming after me for oh for that We will be shedding a light on something that

01:27:27.320 --> 01:27:30.040
Is super cool for techie people to know

01:27:30.760 --> 01:27:38.520
um But is like uh, it's like a secret that techie people know and I think you and I are kind of aligned on that

01:27:38.600 --> 01:27:43.000
We don't have secrets. We have information for the people and that's our job

01:27:43.560 --> 01:27:49.080
and I don't even know what this is, but yeah, I agree with that. Make sure you watch the video when it comes out. Yeah

01:27:50.040 --> 01:27:53.480
Because I don't know if it's gonna last. Do I know what this is? We'll see

01:27:54.440 --> 01:28:01.160
No, I don't think so. Okay. Okay. Yeah, I don't think so. I don't know. We've been I've been feeling kind of I've been feeling kind of irreverent lately

01:28:02.600 --> 01:28:04.600
Not gonna lie one second

01:28:06.520 --> 01:28:08.520
I spelled it wrong

01:28:13.480 --> 01:28:16.200
I've been feeling I've been feeling a little

01:28:16.840 --> 01:28:21.640
You know Fuck it

01:28:23.640 --> 01:28:31.640
I liked the the video That recently got taken down because I'll refer to it that way to add a little bit of buffer because there's technically two videos

01:28:31.720 --> 01:28:34.840
That recently got taken down. So who knows? Um, yeah, because

01:28:35.800 --> 01:28:43.320
That's been that's been a Laughed about non-secret for so long. Yeah, and but

01:28:44.280 --> 01:28:49.480
There's always new people entering the space. Yeah, so it's also a question that I've received

01:28:50.040 --> 01:28:54.360
Forever like since I was a kid people are like, is this thing legit? Yeah

01:28:55.480 --> 01:28:58.280
No, no one cares. So it's like

01:28:58.920 --> 01:29:01.960
Yeah, I don't know. I'm down with it. I was down with it when it happened

01:29:02.360 --> 01:29:07.640
I think how everything went was fine personally Luca asks, are you trying to get canceled Linus?

01:29:08.360 --> 01:29:10.360
dude

01:29:13.960 --> 01:29:15.960
If I was trying to get canceled, you'd know

01:29:19.080 --> 01:29:24.120
I don't know man. We talked about this a few weeks ago. So I'm not gonna like get into it again or anything

01:29:24.280 --> 01:29:28.040
But I think I'd be I think I'd be a little more difficult to

01:29:29.160 --> 01:29:32.760
You can't kill the undead Yeah, that's

01:29:32.760 --> 01:29:35.000
That's gonna say we already came back from the sticks like

01:29:38.840 --> 01:29:43.880
Oh man Like it is it is no it is no secret that

01:29:44.840 --> 01:29:52.200
You know, we have you're kind of a bard You're close to a bard. I thought they died when you gave them healing damage

01:29:53.560 --> 01:29:58.120
Like works backwards for undead Like it is it is no

01:29:58.280 --> 01:30:01.960
It is no secret that after july of last year

01:30:02.440 --> 01:30:07.480
Uh, we experienced a precipitous drop in viewership and therefore

01:30:08.200 --> 01:30:10.200
Our bidness

01:30:11.480 --> 01:30:14.920
That we have these graphs are super informative of like how channels work

01:30:15.400 --> 01:30:19.480
What things impact their their success and their their non-success and

01:30:20.040 --> 01:30:24.680
Yeah, they're they're I think people would have a a surprisingly fun time

01:30:25.400 --> 01:30:31.560
Actually just poking around social blade and like seeing how different channels do things. Yeah, it's it's genuinely

01:30:31.640 --> 01:30:37.480
Surprisingly enlightening. So this is 28. Oh, this is this is this is 30 days. So we are

01:30:38.520 --> 01:30:46.120
We are not there But boy, are we ever but that's a line that's going up boy. Are we ever we are ever tracking back

01:30:46.360 --> 01:30:51.400
Yeah, and you can feel it man. The videos feel good. Yeah, I know I've been saying that a lot on land lately

01:30:51.400 --> 01:30:55.320
But like they actually just do no the vibe the vibes feel good. I think it's uh,

01:30:56.360 --> 01:31:01.160
I think it's uh, I think it's I think it's good. I think things are good. Oh, whoa, dude

01:31:01.640 --> 01:31:04.920
What up What is this?

01:31:04.920 --> 01:31:10.520
Streams with sarah announcement Floatplane exclusive merch. Yeah, you didn't know about this. I did not know about this. Yeah

01:31:12.360 --> 01:31:18.600
It's cool. What am I what am I looking at? This is 48. What the what the heck is going on? What is this video?

01:31:18.760 --> 01:31:20.760
I have not watched this

01:31:22.680 --> 01:31:27.640
Where did we come from? I don't know but that was the timestamp we were at. Why did

01:31:29.480 --> 01:31:34.200
Um What am I even what did what did they have me saying? I don't know

01:31:35.240 --> 01:31:41.640
Uh, okay. Well, you know what sure I think the idea is basically that she's going to be streaming on Floatplane and

01:31:42.040 --> 01:31:47.080
She's going to take community input on a design. Um, and then I think

01:31:48.520 --> 01:31:53.320
I could be wrong about this It's going to say in the post so you should really just read the post

01:31:53.400 --> 01:31:56.680
But I think that's going to be a Floatplane exclusive shirt

01:31:56.920 --> 01:32:02.120
But it doesn't mean that the design is going to have like the Floatplane logo on it necessarily unless a community asks for that

01:32:02.600 --> 01:32:05.560
Um, and she riffs on it in a certain way. Um,

01:32:06.280 --> 01:32:08.280
Maybe I should just read the post

01:32:09.880 --> 01:32:13.640
Is then the first Floatplane exclusive merch live you can also contribute to the design and chat. Yep

01:32:14.840 --> 01:32:18.040
This is the clip Linus and luke will react to today on wan

01:32:18.680 --> 01:32:22.440
But there's an early access to our fellow floaties. Are we doing that today?

01:32:23.080 --> 01:32:27.640
I don't I think we want to jump the gun Oh, I think this is the early access

01:32:29.080 --> 01:32:31.080
Maybe well, okay, then

01:32:32.120 --> 01:32:39.400
Great job Uh, yes, we were supposed to react to that on land. So maybe we should get audio and get that going. Uh, okay

01:32:42.200 --> 01:32:48.520
Hey conveniently, we already made sure that audio works if we're watching videos, uh on the computer

01:32:49.080 --> 01:32:52.920
Machine, uh, okay, cool. Did you I fixed it? We did from dance

01:32:53.320 --> 01:32:57.720
Sure and make sure Okay, um

01:33:00.120 --> 01:33:06.760
Hey, sarah Let's do Floatplane exclusive merch. I'm Linus and I love badminton

01:33:07.160 --> 01:33:10.520
I'm also the average height for a canadian male my age

01:33:10.840 --> 01:33:17.800
That's a weird thing to say, but sure and make sure to stream it on Floatplane. It'll be lots of fun

01:33:18.120 --> 01:33:22.840
Uh, okay. Um, I'll stream it next thursday. I love eating chicken

01:33:23.160 --> 01:33:25.160
star

01:33:26.680 --> 01:33:30.280
And you guys can help drop by at 10 a.m. And no

01:33:31.400 --> 01:33:35.720
Where we'll be making our first ever Floatplane exclusive merch. See you there

01:33:41.720 --> 01:33:43.720
Linus you paid people to make that

01:33:45.720 --> 01:33:49.480
I didn't Linus media group incorporated did

01:33:49.960 --> 01:33:54.920
Who owns most of that I would never have done that Who owns most of that me the whole crazy

01:33:56.920 --> 01:33:58.920
Oh, that was great

01:34:00.040 --> 01:34:09.400
I love eating chicken starfield My goodness, I think you like eating hot sauce with chicken. Yeah. Yeah, it's an important part of the equation

01:34:10.040 --> 01:34:16.760
Yeah, I'm gonna be setting that up. That's gonna be so fun I think it's gonna be we've done a few of those sarah has done some in the before I think the

01:34:17.640 --> 01:34:20.840
Gone fishing original one. Yeah done on a Floatplane stream

01:34:20.840 --> 01:34:26.680
I think the privateer shirt was designed on Floatplane stream as well every halloween. We do pumpkin carving one exclusive

01:34:26.680 --> 01:34:32.440
No, no, this is this is using our connector to the LTT Store. So you'll have to does that finally work

01:34:32.760 --> 01:34:38.120
It's always it like exclusive exclusive Uh, no, I mean does it work on like the store side though?

01:34:38.600 --> 01:34:45.720
I know Floatplane has supported the feature for a long time But like do we finally have integration between the store and Floatplane? We've had that since ltx 2023

01:34:47.000 --> 01:34:52.520
To like to do what though to To make it so that okay, so it goes it's one directional

01:34:53.000 --> 01:34:58.200
Yeah, so you can log into the store. It's got that one thing using your Floatplane account and then there it doesn't know

01:34:58.280 --> 01:35:02.440
It's beautiful exclusive things given to you because you have it's the best feature ever

01:35:03.000 --> 01:35:06.200
Because you've been authenticated as a Floatplane user. What we still don't have

01:35:06.760 --> 01:35:12.440
Um is like if you buy something on LTT Store, you are granted something on Floatplane. It doesn't go the other way

01:35:13.000 --> 01:35:16.360
It just goes Floatplane to LTT Store not LTT Store to Floatplane

01:35:16.600 --> 01:35:21.240
We do want to do that eventually, but it's far far far far far roadmap. There's

01:35:21.720 --> 01:35:29.400
Uh, there's many things we need to do that are high priority from the both the users the creators and the the people running the service

01:35:29.880 --> 01:35:33.160
That want done before we would be able to get to that got it. Yeah

01:35:34.040 --> 01:35:37.000
Making it clear before people like where is it? I want it. It's like no

01:35:37.080 --> 01:35:42.040
It's probably not coming for a very long two percent cashback rewards on LTT Store from Floatplane subs when yeah

01:35:42.840 --> 01:35:48.120
No time soon Ever Let's say that. All right, that will never happen. Cool

01:35:48.920 --> 01:35:52.920
Full plane is too cheap That we would just lose money

01:35:54.760 --> 01:36:00.440
Oh, I subscribed a Floatplane for one month and then bought all the different screwdrivers and a backpack and then unsubscribed. Wow

01:36:01.080 --> 01:36:07.080
I just made so much money It's only two percent if they buy a bunch of stuff. I think we still win

01:36:07.560 --> 01:36:09.560
Well, if they have a grandfather

01:36:10.600 --> 01:36:15.640
It's three dollars. That's true. And there's payment transaction fees and stuff that we lose

01:36:16.600 --> 01:36:19.720
Yeah, the the og subs are like really not

01:36:20.840 --> 01:36:24.200
profitable They technically are are they? Yeah

01:36:24.760 --> 01:36:29.880
Because certain costs of things have gone down. Oh, I see. Yeah. Okay. I think the last time we talked about it

01:36:29.880 --> 01:36:36.600
It was break even at best. It was basically not so much. Well, it also depends like do you do you account for like dev time?

01:36:37.480 --> 01:36:43.800
I mean, yeah, then probably not. Okay, so but the rest of them are so we're good. Let's go

01:36:47.320 --> 01:36:54.840
It's fine. It's everything's fine What about us ten dollar ballers luke? Uh, yeah, you guys are great. Thank you. Well, thank you very much

01:36:54.920 --> 01:37:00.200
Yeah, mind you with how much you watch the streams. I'm not sure if you individually are

01:37:02.920 --> 01:37:06.680
Streaming basically just completely destroys the business model

01:37:07.640 --> 01:37:11.720
Not that you shouldn't watch this. Yeah, you should watch the streams You should watch on Floatplane

01:37:11.720 --> 01:37:15.480
But uh, yeah streaming is super expensive the sickest combo

01:37:16.120 --> 01:37:22.680
Is the watches the entire wancho stream every time and every other stream that happens on the platform og sub

01:37:23.880 --> 01:37:27.320
Oh, yeah, that one's the like that's the money loser right there. That's a gamer move

01:37:27.800 --> 01:37:33.960
Yeah, yeah, not that you shouldn't do it. Go ahead. We are doing fine to be super clear. Yes streaming is don't not use the platform

01:37:33.960 --> 01:37:40.840
Streaming is very expensive compared to vaude. It can't be buffered essentially if you want decent latency, which I think we have on Floatplane

01:37:41.480 --> 01:37:45.000
um That's a big part of the problem

01:37:45.240 --> 01:37:51.080
And the beta site now has manual controls Manual controls. Yeah, I've been telling people in the in the full-point chat all day

01:37:51.960 --> 01:37:58.920
What do you mean by manual controls? We had a player limitation for a long time where for live streaming it was just auto quality

01:37:59.720 --> 01:38:05.000
Oh, and people didn't like that because sometimes it would jump too much. It would switch too often

01:38:05.640 --> 01:38:10.840
So on the beta site, we added manual controls. You're doing right. I'm not on the beta. You're doing real time

01:38:11.480 --> 01:38:17.640
conversion. I thought you weren't What you said switching qualities. Oh for live streams. Yeah

01:38:18.280 --> 01:38:23.080
You do not what we're pushing up what people are taking down. Oh, okay

01:38:25.320 --> 01:38:29.400
Okay Oh, look at that. Oh, yeah, there you go

01:38:30.040 --> 01:38:34.520
So that's the thing now. My understanding was that you had to real time transcode all of those at the same time

01:38:34.680 --> 01:38:39.720
Does that still happen? Yeah. Oh, okay I thought you weren't doing that. That's why we're not doing that

01:38:40.440 --> 01:38:42.440
Someone is don't worry about it. Yeah

01:38:43.800 --> 01:38:51.480
Basically, it's not really it's just it's not going to be very interesting for speaking of sites that use someone else's underlying technology

01:38:52.040 --> 01:38:54.520
Oh, no her tea. It's jack. Don't her tea

01:38:55.400 --> 01:39:04.920
We're talking about this Internet personality jack. Doherty. This is in the dock. Yeah a 21 year old who's primarily known for controversial prank videos

01:39:05.320 --> 01:39:08.040
Crashed his McLaren during a live stream this past weekend

01:39:08.600 --> 01:39:14.440
Footage of the incident appears to show him speeding in rainy conditions while glancing back and forth at a phone in his hand before

01:39:14.440 --> 01:39:18.440
He loses control of the vehicle crosses multiple lanes of traffic and hits a guardrail

01:39:19.400 --> 01:39:23.000
Doherty continued filming the aftermath of the accident

01:39:23.480 --> 01:39:29.320
His cameraman Michael David who was sitting in the passenger seat had his head injured in the accident and later received stitches

01:39:29.800 --> 01:39:37.880
At one point in the footage from the crash site Doherty hands the device to David who is bleeding from head wound and instructs him to continue filming

01:39:38.600 --> 01:39:43.480
When another young man suggests that someone else should take over filming from David seeing as his face appeared to be injured

01:39:43.880 --> 01:39:50.360
Doherty prevents anyone from taking over instead giving the concerned man another device to film with and telling him to make it look good

01:39:51.640 --> 01:39:56.360
Some images that mr. Doherty posted to instagram appear to show him posing shirtless with the wreck

01:39:57.000 --> 01:40:00.120
Note that he was wearing a shirt when the accident occurred

01:40:02.120 --> 01:40:10.520
Some online observers noted that Doherty Reuploaded edited clips of the aftermath of the accident, but not his actions immediately preceding the crash

01:40:10.600 --> 01:40:17.400
So it wasn't obvious that he was on his phone This is why this is on topic streaming site kick has removed

01:40:17.720 --> 01:40:26.120
His account and given him a lifetime ban for violating a community guideline prohibiting reckless behavior and the endangerment of others

01:40:26.920 --> 01:40:29.640
So this is actually what I want to talk about

01:40:32.040 --> 01:40:36.280
Have we found the line And if this is the line

01:40:36.440 --> 01:40:40.440
Why wasn't the line Setting off fireworks indoors

01:40:40.600 --> 01:40:48.520
Oh, did that happen or not not from, uh, whatever his name is not not from jack. No, but somebody that's definitely something that has

01:40:49.160 --> 01:40:53.240
Actually occurred. Did you see the stuff that happened at twitchcon? No. Oh, yeah

01:40:53.960 --> 01:40:57.560
Why kick streamers are just like straight up harassing people at twitchcon

01:40:58.440 --> 01:41:03.880
Cool. It's very cool Very cool. Very cool. Uh kick is not microsoft d starfire

01:41:04.120 --> 01:41:09.640
Not that uh any form of content creation is honestly like just a a bastion of perfect people

01:41:10.600 --> 01:41:14.520
No, but I I think kick has a has a pretty bad rap for a reason

01:41:15.720 --> 01:41:21.000
um And the fire the in the indoor fireworks thing was actually not

01:41:22.520 --> 01:41:29.720
That was that was not on kick. I think that was on twitch Um, so I guess I guess the conversation is like have we have we finally

01:41:30.200 --> 01:41:36.040
Have we finally reached the line because as indoor fireworks thing that was ksi, right? That was a that was fake

01:41:37.000 --> 01:41:41.720
Uh, someone definitely actually did it at some point I don't know who. All right. Um

01:41:42.360 --> 01:41:45.320
The ksi one or not ksi. Yeah, sorry kisonat

01:41:45.800 --> 01:41:49.800
That one was I think it was a mr. Beast in kisonat thing and it was faked

01:41:50.360 --> 01:41:54.280
Yeah, some someone someone definitely did it at some point. Um

01:41:55.800 --> 01:41:59.720
Apparently I show speed actually did it. Oh says chat. Okay. So cool

01:42:00.360 --> 01:42:04.760
Anyway, the point is that as someone who grew up in the generation of

01:42:05.400 --> 01:42:10.920
Like when I was when I was a kid heading into adolescence and teenagehood like cky

01:42:11.400 --> 01:42:13.720
To become a man you have to crash your McLaren jackass

01:42:14.840 --> 01:42:22.200
Tom green this kind of like this kind of shock do anything humor. Yeah, um, I've kind of watched it

01:42:23.080 --> 01:42:30.360
Progress to the point where you know, we stopped doing these things under professional supervision on closed courses

01:42:30.920 --> 01:42:35.880
Uh, we started doing more and more not just insane, but

01:42:36.600 --> 01:42:44.360
Inane things. Um, I saw this really unsettling footage of uh, someone breaking their back doing the milk crate challenge

01:42:44.920 --> 01:42:48.520
Um, what is that? You stack milk crates to make stairs

01:42:49.400 --> 01:42:53.400
Okay, like you know those square milk crates and then you see how high you can go

01:42:53.720 --> 01:42:56.840
Except that the problem is that by the time you're high enough that it's unstable

01:42:56.840 --> 01:43:01.320
You're like six to eight feet up and if you fall onto milk crates

01:43:02.600 --> 01:43:07.160
Um, that should give you like a pretty good idea of what's going to happen

01:43:08.040 --> 01:43:14.920
um And I guess I've just been kind of sitting here patiently waiting for either people to get smarter, which

01:43:15.640 --> 01:43:22.040
I'll probably be waiting a long time. Yeah, or for whether it's platforms or regulators or parents

01:43:22.120 --> 01:43:24.520
I don't know for someone to kind of say

01:43:25.240 --> 01:43:27.240
Hey, okay. Um

01:43:28.280 --> 01:43:32.920
That's the limit That's the limit there

01:43:33.160 --> 01:43:35.160
It's time to stop

01:43:36.280 --> 01:43:41.000
And is is is this finally it so operating your phone while driving is the limit

01:43:41.960 --> 01:43:44.600
Well, the thing is that I don't even know if that's

01:43:46.440 --> 01:43:54.280
And to be clear it was it's dumb and reckless and it's because you're streaming driving poor conditions and operating a phone

01:43:54.360 --> 01:43:57.960
and then I think That's already bad

01:43:57.960 --> 01:44:03.640
But I think it's sort of which parts are bad because we've recorded videos while driving. So is the streaming portion bad

01:44:03.800 --> 01:44:08.360
It's the flagrant disregard. I think for any kind of consequences

01:44:09.160 --> 01:44:12.280
Um after the fact that's an impossible thing to measure

01:44:13.320 --> 01:44:15.640
No, it's you're right. It's it's totally impossible

01:44:16.360 --> 01:44:22.600
To measure. I mean, it's it's a compound problem. I think context menu. I think kind of nailed it any one of those things

01:44:22.760 --> 01:44:28.840
You know, I I would say is Compared to the kind of stuff people other people are streaming online, right?

01:44:28.840 --> 01:44:33.720
Because we're not talking about whether those things were wrong and bad Absolutely wrong and bad

01:44:33.720 --> 01:44:36.760
What we're talking about is streaming while driving wrong and bad the line

01:44:37.320 --> 01:44:41.400
I don't think it has to be I think if you have a fixed gopro on your dash

01:44:42.280 --> 01:44:48.920
And you're it's basically the same thing as like It's basically comedians in cars or whatever. Yeah, like Seinfeld like I don't think

01:44:49.640 --> 01:44:54.360
Because I don't think we I don't think I've ever been in a compromised position driving around for scrap at worse

01:44:54.600 --> 01:45:03.640
There's like it's it hasn't There's this there's this like super low budget Canadian show that I only know about because it was on while I was in a dentist chair

01:45:03.640 --> 01:45:06.760
And I couldn't get away from it. It's called like cash cab

01:45:07.320 --> 01:45:12.840
Or something like that. Yeah, here we go. Is it? Oh my god. It's an american show. It's actually a whole thing. Well

01:45:13.640 --> 01:45:17.640
There was a there was I have no idea I

01:45:17.880 --> 01:45:23.000
Okay, well it was definitely on a Canadian channel and they were definitely driving around a Canadian city

01:45:23.080 --> 01:45:31.640
And it was like the production value was garbage Um, so I think it must have been like a Canadian ripoff of it. Oh, yeah, cash cab Canadian game show

01:45:31.960 --> 01:45:37.560
It's called the same thing, but there's a Canadian one. Yeah, and it's like probably worse because it seemed pretty bad

01:45:37.640 --> 01:45:44.280
Anyway, 200 plus episodes eight seasons. Yeah, whoa. Yeah, the Canadian one. Yeah, anyway

01:45:45.000 --> 01:45:50.440
Um, you're really trying to get cancelled. Come on. Okay. Look. I'm not saying that

01:45:50.920 --> 01:45:57.240
Okay The point is The point is that clearly they're driving and like

01:45:57.880 --> 01:46:02.840
Doing a trivia show So it can be done. Um, yeah

01:46:05.080 --> 01:46:10.840
But not in poor conditions Not while also texting not while not in poor conditions

01:46:10.920 --> 01:46:14.600
So you can't like this is I think this is the line I keep coming back to is like

01:46:14.600 --> 01:46:18.600
Does that mean that we can't film for scrapyard wars while driving when it's raining?

01:46:21.080 --> 01:46:25.800
Because like I I don't personally see the difference between streaming and recording of odd

01:46:25.800 --> 01:46:29.560
I think we'd have to use our game sense. No, there's a big difference between streaming and recording of odd because

01:46:30.200 --> 01:46:34.200
With streaming. Okay here. I'll show you the difference between streaming and recording of odd. Sure

01:46:35.000 --> 01:46:42.760
Well, no, because you don't have to go on your phone. I'm showing you the difference

01:46:43.480 --> 01:46:46.120
You don't have to go on your phone. Well, I'm showing you the difference

01:46:56.360 --> 01:46:59.720
Okay, uh, so continuing with the show I can take a break

01:47:00.120 --> 01:47:07.080
Gotcha, if I if I need my focus just be a bad streamer and take a break though, but you won't because when you're streaming

01:47:08.120 --> 01:47:11.400
Right, but how many what's your what's your typical concurrence? Okay

01:47:14.840 --> 01:47:20.520
Like you're not fighting algorithmically for for for relevance. This is my thing. You don't care

01:47:21.400 --> 01:47:28.280
And so when you're streaming there's this constant pressure to be on to be talking about something to be changing the subject to be

01:47:28.600 --> 01:47:34.600
You know changing what people are looking at. Oh my god, it's producer Dan. Oh and he's gone. But like I think that's I think that's my

01:47:35.480 --> 01:47:39.400
Where I said like you don't have to go on your phone because like if you're streaming you're gonna want to see chat

01:47:39.560 --> 01:47:45.400
But someone else could see chat someone else could be producing someone else could be doing these old things

01:47:45.480 --> 01:47:49.240
Someone else could be making sure that there isn't gaps in the entertainment of the stream

01:47:49.560 --> 01:47:53.480
But that's the problem is they didn't so it's a compound problem

01:47:53.640 --> 01:47:57.080
Sam it has streamed while drifting and not had a problem

01:47:57.320 --> 01:48:02.120
Yeah, and and so I'm not saying that just Being on stream is necessarily a problem

01:48:02.120 --> 01:48:06.040
But you have to have the game sense and that to me is the difference with a vaude with a vaude

01:48:06.120 --> 01:48:09.960
I think it's easier to turn on your game sense and go

01:48:11.000 --> 01:48:13.320
Uh, okay. I got an update for you

01:48:14.040 --> 01:48:18.040
um I got a we got emerged onto the highway

01:48:18.120 --> 01:48:24.440
Let's let's let's do it when we're on the highway Because like I've I've had that kind of back and forth with my camera operator where

01:48:25.160 --> 01:48:31.720
Like okay, one example was I was going somewhere where I didn't want to dox the person. I was traveling to yeah

01:48:32.040 --> 01:48:35.640
And so I was like, okay, uh, I've got to get right down

01:48:35.720 --> 01:48:39.320
There's there's a few things I want to address in this next clip if you can note those down

01:48:39.880 --> 01:48:42.200
Um, and then I'm going to turn around on this highway

01:48:43.240 --> 01:48:48.600
So that from the last shot that they see we'll be going in like two different directions and it's going to be super bamboozly

01:48:49.080 --> 01:48:56.760
Um points if anybody like noticed that in the video. It was pretty funny. Uh, anyway, um, so so let's let's do that

01:48:56.760 --> 01:49:02.600
And then and then you know what? I'm not gonna I'm not gonna lie to you guys, especially because in earlier scrapyard wars

01:49:02.600 --> 01:49:11.160
You guys probably saw me on my phone while I was driving anyway So I'll like glance at it and then okay. Let's do the clip while we're just cruising at highway speed

01:49:11.560 --> 01:49:17.560
I am a very defensive driver. So I will I will typically not have anyone on either side of me

01:49:17.720 --> 01:49:24.760
I will always accelerate past someone or brake to be behind them. Like I never had someone feel so uncomfortable. I hate it. Oh my god. Um

01:49:28.920 --> 01:49:35.320
I apparently got a ticket and left it in I forgot about that. I don't remember that at all. That's hilarious. Um

01:49:36.280 --> 01:49:42.840
Anyway, so so I tend to be a very defensive driver that doesn't I I'm not saying good driver guys

01:49:42.840 --> 01:49:46.920
I'm saying defensive driver. Uh, I don't like to be near other things that are moving

01:49:47.400 --> 01:49:53.560
um And so if I'm at cruising speed and there's nobody near me

01:49:53.640 --> 01:49:59.480
No, I don't think that it's going to be the end of the world if I if I like glance toward my glens

01:50:00.280 --> 01:50:05.240
For for a second or two, you know for emphasis or you know for whatever it is that I'm doing hosting the same thing

01:50:05.240 --> 01:50:08.680
Same thing as glancing towards your passenger, which everybody does but streaming

01:50:09.880 --> 01:50:15.080
Is in my mind a different beast unless you're really in a mindset where you are you're not

01:50:15.400 --> 01:50:18.520
Trying to be on the whole time, but so many streamers are

01:50:19.400 --> 01:50:27.880
They're trying to be constantly engaging You probably are trying to constantly be engaging because that's how you perform in the streaming world, which makes sense

01:50:28.360 --> 01:50:36.360
Um Sigma salt says unless you're ignoring chat, it's over the line a hundred percent. I think that's honestly a yeah, like a good point

01:50:36.600 --> 01:50:42.760
Um Where'd it go having his friend recording the aftermath while bleeding also didn't help

01:50:43.080 --> 01:50:46.440
Yeah, crystal d said but the issue was speeding looking at his phone

01:50:46.840 --> 01:50:50.840
Um and doing that while hydro planning and I I understand that my point is that

01:50:51.480 --> 01:50:56.040
If we if we try to draw a line, but the line is like, I don't know then it's not a line

01:50:56.440 --> 01:51:00.200
Um, so we need to define the things that that cross the line

01:51:00.520 --> 01:51:06.280
So like you're saying like maybe streaming sites should should ban streaming while driving

01:51:07.320 --> 01:51:10.680
I don't know. I don't being the driver. I mean can we

01:51:12.840 --> 01:51:15.080
I don't necessarily think it's inherently a problem

01:51:16.520 --> 01:51:20.280
No, I am a hundred percent certain that even if I tried to be consistently entertaining

01:51:20.360 --> 01:51:22.280
I could stream and drive at the same time no problem

01:51:23.960 --> 01:51:27.880
I'm a hundred percent confident you wouldn't be able to be engaging in entertaining though

01:51:28.440 --> 01:51:32.120
With other people in the car though with the other people in the car and easy

01:51:32.280 --> 01:51:36.040
Yeah, easy peasy if if there's no one else in the car. I do agree with you

01:51:36.280 --> 01:51:41.400
Yeah, because then you're you know, you're not reading chat unless you're doing something like unless you're like a rally driver

01:51:41.560 --> 01:51:50.760
A drift car person Doing something unique if you're driving through a city unless your stream literally is like pov driving through city

01:51:51.000 --> 01:51:53.160
Yeah, um, then yeah, I don't know

01:51:54.840 --> 01:51:59.400
Try it. I I think I like literally have I I've streamed all snowboarding like I've done

01:52:00.040 --> 01:52:04.200
Weird stuff and it's never been an issue for me, but I also have never had that be

01:52:05.080 --> 01:52:09.400
My career so I have never cared and if I needed to not be entertaining for a while

01:52:09.400 --> 01:52:13.640
I would just not be entertaining for a while. So I also have that benefit which isn't fair

01:52:15.160 --> 01:52:19.000
Yeah Is the line just like committing a crime while streaming I'm

01:52:19.640 --> 01:52:25.560
That's effectively the line for flow plane. You can't break the law. Yeah, that's what we did. So yeah

01:52:27.080 --> 01:52:29.160
Yeah, I guess there's just a lot of things that like

01:52:30.520 --> 01:52:38.520
are Horrible but and stupid but not a crime like I know I come back to this a fair bit, but it was just so egregious

01:52:39.240 --> 01:52:45.480
Like when doctor disrespect was streaming from the bathroom And I think it was that twitch con or whatever it was. Like I don't I don't

01:52:46.120 --> 01:52:48.920
Think that's technically illegal necessarily

01:52:49.400 --> 01:52:53.000
But it just shouldn't have to be you know, you shouldn't have to make that law

01:52:53.080 --> 01:52:59.720
It should just be kind of obvious And I guess that's the problem for me is that we've got people just pushing

01:53:01.160 --> 01:53:03.720
Pushing the the boundaries of what's

01:53:04.360 --> 01:53:12.600
um Push based on what is that's what is legal rather than what is kind of necessary and and okay to do

01:53:13.320 --> 01:53:18.680
People are saying it's illegal as far as I'm aware. Okay. Maybe maybe it is so then to record in a bathroom

01:53:18.760 --> 01:53:22.120
You know, like why was this a permanent ban then and why was that a temporary ban?

01:53:22.120 --> 01:53:24.760
I mean, he ultimately did end up permanently banned anyway, but

01:53:25.640 --> 01:53:31.080
For a different thing. I think oh, yeah, it was for something else. Um, I don't know man and like

01:53:31.800 --> 01:53:36.760
Should Okay, should jack doherty be able to you know, come back on twitch

01:53:37.480 --> 01:53:39.480
Or come back streaming on youtube like should

01:53:40.680 --> 01:53:44.760
Should because I know that youtube has policies around off-platform behavior

01:53:45.000 --> 01:53:50.200
You don't necessarily have to do something on youtube to be banned from youtube. Yeah

01:53:52.200 --> 01:53:56.360
Like is this should this just be the end because I don't know guys

01:53:57.320 --> 01:54:00.920
For some reason I don't feel like the audience will

01:54:03.240 --> 01:54:11.800
Discipline this Oh, no, though. They'll were traditionally they reward it. I've seen people come back from from worse. I don't know

01:54:12.760 --> 01:54:18.120
When the lion when we're way up here It's hard to tell what's a farther and what's not farther over the line like stuff

01:54:18.120 --> 01:54:22.920
That's just obviously wrong if people were still watching this guy after all the stuff that he's done in the past

01:54:23.880 --> 01:54:29.000
I don't think this is going to stop them if anything This was probably top tier premium content

01:54:29.240 --> 01:54:33.480
Which is the reason why we're talking about it now and the whole freaking internet has talked about it

01:54:33.720 --> 01:54:39.400
And he's getting more press than he's ever gotten before despite all the crazy deplorable things he's done in the past

01:54:39.400 --> 01:54:42.920
I'd never heard of him. I'll tell you that much. I have um and

01:54:44.920 --> 01:54:47.320
If he's able to be platformed somewhere he'll get tons of views

01:54:47.960 --> 01:54:51.640
This is not this is not generally penalized by the internet audience

01:54:52.200 --> 01:54:57.000
Um, there's some people that would be like I would yeah, but you weren't watching him

01:54:57.960 --> 01:55:00.280
Yeah, like it's not you

01:55:02.280 --> 01:55:09.080
Oh Is what it is I worry about the kind of stuff that like not my kids because they

01:55:10.120 --> 01:55:13.000
Like I have access to their watch history. I know what they're watching. Um

01:55:14.440 --> 01:55:18.440
But like what their peers are watching what if they delete stuff? Um

01:55:19.400 --> 01:55:29.400
They are they have demonstrated their truthfulness elsewhere where it wouldn't be possible enough

01:55:30.680 --> 01:55:34.360
And as far as they know I can access things they delete

01:55:35.560 --> 01:55:37.560
As far as they know right now

01:55:38.840 --> 01:55:43.960
In time they'll figure things out better and you know, I won't be able to rely on that but for now

01:55:44.920 --> 01:55:47.800
Even in cases where I can't prove it

01:55:48.200 --> 01:55:51.560
Um and where I don't necessarily have the power to know exactly what happened

01:55:52.200 --> 01:55:57.480
They have shown themselves to be extremely honest and I and I mean that as a parent with my eyes

01:55:58.040 --> 01:56:03.960
Completely wide open who knows that children are just little humans who lie cheat steal and will even kill

01:56:05.080 --> 01:56:12.920
They're they're they're humans. They're just people. They're just smaller I'm not saying this to to say that the other ones aren't I've just spent more time with this one and

01:56:13.320 --> 01:56:20.040
He's older but little man is definitely intelligent and clever enough to figure it out if he wanted to and he has

01:56:20.520 --> 01:56:26.200
um he has bypassed parental controls before and we have talked about it and

01:56:26.840 --> 01:56:30.120
He did get busted and that's why he thinks that I know

01:56:31.080 --> 01:56:35.000
Because I did catch him before and it was a pretty clever workaround

01:56:37.000 --> 01:56:39.960
That I was not aware of is it bad that I'm like a little proud

01:56:43.160 --> 01:56:47.480
That We can move on

01:56:50.520 --> 01:56:54.520
Oh man, I forget I actually forget what exactly the workaround was

01:56:54.600 --> 01:56:57.000
I think it was um, I think it was that the

01:56:57.720 --> 01:57:04.600
The screen time wasn't counted If you like quickly locked and unlocked the phone or something like that or like I forget what it was

01:57:04.680 --> 01:57:06.680
But it was it was a pretty clever workaround

01:57:09.240 --> 01:57:11.240
But yeah, no I um

01:57:13.320 --> 01:57:17.240
I I He's at the age now

01:57:17.240 --> 01:57:23.000
Where instead of the conversation being you need to be 100 honest all the time the conversation is

01:57:23.640 --> 01:57:26.360
You need to learn the importance of honesty

01:57:27.560 --> 01:57:34.040
And you need to be man enough to be honest at times when it's hard

01:57:35.960 --> 01:57:39.720
But no, I don't expect you to tell the truth to absolutely everyone in your life 100 of the time

01:57:39.800 --> 01:57:45.800
Eventually you need to learn a lesson that you shouldn't yeah Eventually you're going to need to learn to hold your cards closer to your chest

01:57:45.800 --> 01:57:52.440
So we've we've he's headed into adolescence and we've started to have those conversations instead of just I mean it's like there's appropriate

01:57:52.600 --> 01:57:55.400
It's like physics, right where you learn the laws of it

01:57:55.960 --> 01:57:59.160
And then you're going air resistance and everything you learned was wrong

01:57:59.320 --> 01:58:02.920
Yeah, and then you learned that everything you learned then was wrong and then you learned that everything you learned then was wrong

01:58:02.920 --> 01:58:09.000
Right like like, you know the early conversations with your kids are you know, it it doesn't it doesn't matter if you win or lose

01:58:09.560 --> 01:58:14.280
As long as you try your best Well, you know, probably about a year

01:58:15.400 --> 01:58:19.880
A go maybe between a year and a year and a half ago I had to have the first conversation with my son

01:58:19.960 --> 01:58:25.720
So it's coming real soon for my eldest daughter that was like, hey what I told you that's actually bullshit

01:58:27.400 --> 01:58:29.400
In life it matters if you win

01:58:30.440 --> 01:58:35.000
If you didn't win you lost Um, and if you tried really hard

01:58:35.560 --> 01:58:38.600
um You still lost

01:58:38.600 --> 01:58:42.440
And you know, I think it was I think it was after a tournament or something and he was like

01:58:43.000 --> 01:58:47.320
Uh, I was tired and to make my point. I brought up like

01:58:48.040 --> 01:58:50.920
Some some someone who lost like a major match

01:58:51.800 --> 01:58:54.280
And I was like, hey look, have you seen this?

01:58:54.920 --> 01:59:00.120
Uh on the results it says that that the score was this but this guy was tired. Here look

01:59:01.000 --> 01:59:03.240
And he goes it doesn't say that I said, yeah, exactly

01:59:07.240 --> 01:59:11.480
Yeah Yeah, it doesn't say his tummy hurt because nobody fucking cares

01:59:12.360 --> 01:59:19.960
um at some point You're going to need to win and it's not gonna matter. Nothing else is gonna matter if you want to win

01:59:21.160 --> 01:59:25.160
Then you're gonna have to leave everything else at the door and you can you can understand as well

01:59:25.240 --> 01:59:31.720
Like you can basically decide that it's not worth the effort that you know that you might have to put into this thing in order to win

01:59:32.280 --> 01:59:37.000
Then you can be like, okay, I'm going to accept that I'm at a certain level of casualness with this thing

01:59:37.400 --> 01:59:41.080
But if you're like, no, this is this is my thing. I must win

01:59:41.720 --> 01:59:50.760
Then it's like well then win. Yeah Um put in the effort. So yeah, we you know, and I think we were also having the conversation about like school as well

01:59:50.920 --> 01:59:54.600
It's like look You're right. You can you can get a good enough grade

01:59:54.600 --> 01:59:58.360
But at some point you're gonna have to decide if good enough is good enough

01:59:59.080 --> 02:00:02.280
or If you want to excel

02:00:02.280 --> 02:00:05.880
Um because like let's let's be real um

02:00:05.880 --> 02:00:09.480
Our kids have ended up with a really interesting mix of

02:00:10.520 --> 02:00:14.120
Of well their parents obviously right because that's like how genetics work

02:00:15.960 --> 02:00:22.920
And and they've they've got this they've got this fascinating sort of spectrum that they sit on between the

02:00:23.240 --> 02:00:30.520
Things that are great about my mind, which is sort of this raw creative dragon energy

02:00:30.920 --> 02:00:36.840
And the things that are great about Yvonne's mind, which is this spectacular attention to detail

02:00:37.560 --> 02:00:41.320
um And I think they have a lot of potential

02:00:41.960 --> 02:00:45.080
But I think they have a lot of the same challenges that

02:00:45.720 --> 02:00:48.440
um I had and she had

02:00:48.760 --> 02:00:52.040
And that she figured out and that I didn't until a lot later

02:00:52.440 --> 02:00:57.080
And that's that it's hard to learn to work hard when you don't have to

02:00:58.360 --> 02:01:01.880
And Yvonne figured it out still when she was still in elementary school

02:01:02.360 --> 02:01:07.960
Like when she was pretty early she when they when they basically when they started giving out letter grades

02:01:08.600 --> 02:01:15.480
Was and she got b's and she was like excuse me. What the fuck? I thought I was an a student and kind of

02:01:16.200 --> 02:01:20.520
Cleaned up her act got it. Um, whereas for me

02:01:21.480 --> 02:01:25.000
I I don't know. I cleaned it up in late grade nine. I think

02:01:25.640 --> 02:01:29.560
But then I completely fell apart. Um when I started dating

02:01:30.680 --> 02:01:34.520
just Just yeah

02:01:34.600 --> 02:01:42.760
not focused Like flunked out of flunked out of university like hard. I don't think I really got it until I landed at bc it

02:01:43.720 --> 02:01:48.200
Because I would get really um

02:01:48.200 --> 02:01:57.720
Like touchy about my teachers Like I had a terrible grade in english for reasons that are probably self-explanatory at this point. Um, until I got an english teacher

02:01:59.960 --> 02:02:06.200
Until I got an english teacher that was just an absolute bad ass mr. Thompson fantastic

02:02:06.760 --> 02:02:11.560
Um And then my english grade cranked and I got into ap english out of nowhere

02:02:11.560 --> 02:02:14.360
I was like barely passing for my whole life

02:02:14.600 --> 02:02:19.160
And then I got a high a and then ap english the next year and then he was a professional writer

02:02:19.800 --> 02:02:23.320
For a while, which was a a choice. Um, and then

02:02:24.600 --> 02:02:29.160
And that was kind of similar for a lot of different things in school where like if I had a good teacher

02:02:29.400 --> 02:02:33.160
I would get like dialed in and do super well, but if I had a bad teacher I had this

02:02:33.720 --> 02:02:38.840
Like well, I don't like that teacher. I'm not gonna try which is stupid. Um

02:02:40.680 --> 02:02:45.160
Panda asks made my brain happy hey Linus have any of your kids displayed adhd traits

02:02:47.960 --> 02:02:49.960
What do you think

02:02:52.840 --> 02:02:58.360
I mean, I don't know man. It's one of those things where it's like how it is neuro neuro divergence, right?

02:02:58.840 --> 02:03:05.480
And I think that if you want to be at a certain level of excellence in certain things you probably have to be on extremes

02:03:06.120 --> 02:03:09.800
It's somewhere You're probably on some kind of spectrum

02:03:10.520 --> 02:03:16.360
Of some sort sick um Hell yeah, and it's one of those things where like

02:03:17.160 --> 02:03:23.960
I've I've had conversations with people where they're like, okay. Yeah Linus, but I don't feel bad for you because for you

02:03:24.200 --> 02:03:26.920
you know the hyper focus and sort of the inability to

02:03:27.480 --> 02:03:32.520
To pay attention to one thing for a long time and you kind of like are you go off on these tangents?

02:03:32.520 --> 02:03:37.160
it's like a superpower and And you know for me, it's not like that and it's like yeah

02:03:37.880 --> 02:03:42.040
But at some point you're gonna have to decide if you want to make excuses or if you want to win

02:03:43.560 --> 02:03:51.400
I was a Yeah That was a lesson I got from my physics teacher. Really? Yeah, I won't name him because

02:03:52.280 --> 02:03:59.800
Not a lot of people are stoked about this lesson, but it was interesting at the time Um where there was someone in class there was someone in class. I have I have certain

02:04:00.040 --> 02:04:04.120
You know, I can't I can't read all that great, but um someone in class had a

02:04:05.000 --> 02:04:10.840
some form of um Learning disability, I don't remember what it was and um

02:04:12.120 --> 02:04:17.800
It was it was constant right every single class when we broke it on to doing work this person

02:04:18.680 --> 02:04:23.880
Requested help and the teacher would help them never a problem with that. Yeah, and then they they asked for I think

02:04:25.720 --> 02:04:31.640
They asked for something else It was like a lower required grade to pass the class or something like that

02:04:32.120 --> 02:04:34.920
Um, and he drew like an extremely hard line

02:04:35.560 --> 02:04:38.920
And he was like no because when you leave this will never be a thing

02:04:39.880 --> 02:04:45.240
So like you got to figure it out now, but he's like I'm here at all times to help

02:04:45.560 --> 02:04:49.960
Yeah, but like, you know, I can I can help you after class. I can help you on lunch

02:04:50.200 --> 02:04:53.640
I can help you on various other breaks if you take a spare period

02:04:53.640 --> 02:04:56.120
I can help you during that if I have time I can

02:04:57.240 --> 02:05:02.600
potentially help you outside of class like I can give you everything but you have to pass the same bar

02:05:03.320 --> 02:05:08.440
um and overhearing that because you could they were like talking in the corner, right?

02:05:08.520 --> 02:05:12.120
But you could kind of still hear it overhearing that I was like, huh, okay

02:05:12.840 --> 02:05:17.640
I need to kind of shut up about my reading thing and like figure it out and to be clear

02:05:18.360 --> 02:05:23.160
Shut up and figure it out. Isn't the right way either not always get support. Yeah talk to people

02:05:23.640 --> 02:05:30.280
You know get a diagnosis, you know find resources for me. It was the right thing all yes, and that's fine

02:05:30.840 --> 02:05:36.680
But your way your path might be totally different very yeah your path is probably going to be very different

02:05:37.240 --> 02:05:41.960
It might also inform like, you know, maybe you should do a slightly different thing

02:05:43.000 --> 02:05:47.240
Yeah, I think the our generation was hammered with the like everyone can do anything

02:05:47.240 --> 02:05:52.760
You can be anything. Yeah, like literally we were told we could be astronauts. Yeah

02:05:53.320 --> 02:05:58.040
I cannot be an astronaut. Yeah, if I had if I had focused

02:05:58.680 --> 02:06:04.520
every Every ounce of my being on being an astronaut from the age of two

02:06:05.320 --> 02:06:11.080
I would be no closer to space than I am right now and that is exactly five feet six inches off of the earth

02:06:11.560 --> 02:06:18.760
Five nine if I jump. Yeah, and I think honestly, I think that advice was was kind of poisonous

02:06:19.080 --> 02:06:24.200
um Yeah, I think so too And I I think sometimes recognizing like okay

02:06:27.320 --> 02:06:30.680
I am I am clearly not good at this thing even if I like it

02:06:30.680 --> 02:06:34.040
Well, there's practically infinite other possibilities in the world

02:06:34.120 --> 02:06:37.080
Maybe I should find something else that I like and I can do well

02:06:37.240 --> 02:06:42.360
That was something that I really struggled with too many. We weren't exposed to that much at least if I wasn't

02:06:42.440 --> 02:06:46.920
Yeah, it was like do you want to be a tradesperson a policeman a firefighter an astronaut or a teacher?

02:06:46.920 --> 02:06:51.240
Don't forget teacher. Yeah. Yeah, and like so I just thought I wanted to be a teacher

02:06:51.320 --> 02:06:55.720
Because I was like, I don't know my mom's a teacher my five options. Dad's a teacher. My aunt's a teacher

02:06:56.120 --> 02:07:00.040
Every adult in my life like I just listed all the things my teachers are all teachers

02:07:00.200 --> 02:07:03.480
I didn't know what people went to business school for until I was in like high school

02:07:03.960 --> 02:07:10.200
I was like, what do you mean? You just do like these things. Yeah, because it's all anyone would ever tell you

02:07:10.520 --> 02:07:15.400
You just have a boss and you just do what they tell you. Yeah. Yeah, like I know I was oh, okay

02:07:15.720 --> 02:07:21.560
Yeah, you know you figured out eventually but it was it was a weird time in regards to communication of what like schools and teachers

02:07:21.560 --> 02:07:25.080
We're telling you you could you could do when you grew up um

02:07:25.080 --> 02:07:27.800
dwindlin says I still don't know what people go to business school for

02:07:28.280 --> 02:07:39.240
I think it's for a common sense education, honestly A lot of what people seem to cover there is just like how to interact with people how to how to do basic analysis

02:07:39.480 --> 02:07:43.400
How to generate a pretty valuable communication. I know I know

02:07:44.040 --> 02:07:49.960
Community how to generate a report. Dude. It's such a huge problem. How to do a meeting. How to sell

02:07:51.000 --> 02:07:54.520
It all comes back to how to sell earlier in the show about how you have to be selling all the time

02:07:54.600 --> 02:07:58.040
These are these are genuinely very valuable things always be closing

02:07:58.840 --> 02:08:03.400
Yeah Um

02:08:05.000 --> 02:08:08.120
Yeah Conversely if you find a way to do

02:08:09.800 --> 02:08:15.400
Find a way to love what see reading problems if you find a way to love what does work surrounding yourself with others

02:08:15.800 --> 02:08:20.120
Okay, I can't read that properly, but yeah, I mean there's there's alternatives to everything right like there's um

02:08:21.960 --> 02:08:25.880
There's a guy who who doesn't have any arms and is a uh

02:08:26.600 --> 02:08:32.120
Race car drifting person. I think he does literally formula drift and he doesn't have arms

02:08:32.360 --> 02:08:37.880
He steers the wheel with one of his legs and then he manages all the pedals with his other like amazing

02:08:38.280 --> 02:08:44.040
Super sick made it work. There's routes for sure. I saw this uh, you also have to understand that was way harder for him

02:08:44.280 --> 02:08:47.880
than anybody else And there was no like

02:08:47.960 --> 02:08:51.080
I saw this incredible video of a mom uh with no arms

02:08:51.640 --> 02:08:58.120
lifting her baby Onto into a seat and then like out of it and stuff with her legs

02:08:58.600 --> 02:09:05.640
That's so sick Just like from like from a from a chair position like being an absolute bad ass super mom without arms

02:09:05.640 --> 02:09:07.640
But like yeah, yeah

02:09:09.000 --> 02:09:12.600
And like it it sucks that that's harder for her for sure, but I think

02:09:13.480 --> 02:09:16.680
Wallowing and self pity over it isn't gonna help

02:09:18.280 --> 02:09:22.920
It might help No Might help I don't think so it could

02:09:23.880 --> 02:09:25.880
You won't know unless you try go ahead try

02:09:28.440 --> 02:09:30.440
Let's see let's see if it helps go ahead

02:09:46.280 --> 02:09:50.920
Okay, all right, uh, what are we doing?

02:09:51.880 --> 02:09:57.560
I just want to make it clear that everything that Luke and I say comes with a little bit of survivorship bias as well

02:09:57.720 --> 02:10:03.160
Obviously we have powered through and succeeded in our respective fields

02:10:03.720 --> 02:10:08.120
And so, you know, it's easy for us to say hey this this worked. This works great

02:10:08.840 --> 02:10:12.920
But but I think the most important thing I said was the part where I said

02:10:14.040 --> 02:10:16.920
Learn about yourself find yourself know yourself. Yeah

02:10:17.400 --> 02:10:24.280
Seek out a diagnosis seek out strategies seek out support and if find your own path if what if the path that you're on isn't working

02:10:24.840 --> 02:10:30.040
Um, understand that you can almost certainly find another path. I think that's the biggest thing for me

02:10:30.840 --> 02:10:35.160
Um, it's like there's there's things that I wanted to do when I was growing up that I was able to self-recognize like

02:10:35.480 --> 02:10:43.000
This just isn't a good route for me And there's ways to win that are not being an astronaut. Yeah, and that's okay. You don't have to win that hard dude

02:10:43.560 --> 02:10:49.960
The the need for oh man, if you get into as far as I can tell literally any trade in bc

02:10:50.920 --> 02:10:56.600
You will just kill it. Oh, yeah My goodness actually destroy like it's it's

02:10:57.480 --> 02:11:02.680
Yeah, and not all of them are like excruciating pain and like yeah like

02:11:03.720 --> 02:11:09.080
Requiring a ton of strength like there's a lot of tools that are coming out that are that can help assist with that type of stuff

02:11:09.160 --> 02:11:14.440
And yeah really cool ways like if you don't even if you don't like getting dirty being electrician, you know if you

02:11:15.240 --> 02:11:24.760
Well, some of them still get dirty. Okay, some of them still get dirty But there's definitely a lot of jobs where you don't get as dirty like you don't you don't have to do, you know residential

02:11:25.560 --> 02:11:32.120
You know plumbing repair, you know like there's Yeah, there's lots of trades. Yeah, it's the point that I'm trying to make here. There's tons

02:11:35.720 --> 02:11:38.680
Hold on there was something here that I thought was really funny stay the path says

02:11:39.160 --> 02:11:41.240
Help but feel like they're talking directly to me

02:11:42.920 --> 02:11:46.760
Sorry 1987 Datsun and full plane chat said I'm a lineman in the states

02:11:46.840 --> 02:11:51.080
I make over 200k a year the trades are the way I didn't even go to college

02:11:52.360 --> 02:11:56.360
200k a year us Yeah, that's like real money

02:11:58.040 --> 02:12:06.440
Hey, yeah, like I I don't know there's there's routes There's routes a lot of like people people troll garbage men all the time dude. They make cash

02:12:07.000 --> 02:12:12.360
Yeah, and a lot of a lot of the garbage routes. This was I think you mean sanitation professional sure whatever

02:12:13.000 --> 02:12:18.840
A lot of the sanitation professional routes as far as I've heard are based on completion not time

02:12:19.640 --> 02:12:22.760
So you'll notice how they they often work really fast. Oh, yeah

02:12:22.840 --> 02:12:27.000
They get paid the same right so you get a team of people people that are gonna hustle

02:12:27.320 --> 02:12:30.120
And they finish this eight hour route in like five and a half

02:12:30.760 --> 02:12:35.080
Then you just have the whole rest of the day off and you didn't lose any income kind of a sick job

02:12:35.080 --> 02:12:42.520
Like Cool and then if you're a hustler go start a side hustle in that extra two and a half hours every day

02:12:42.520 --> 02:12:51.800
And then you're just making major bank I don't know. There's there's a lot of really cool options like legitimately really cool options, especially I find if you look at

02:12:52.920 --> 02:12:55.400
Jobs that are like less traditionally attractive

02:12:56.040 --> 02:13:01.000
Because then there usually isn't as much competition and when there isn't as much competition it's often

02:13:01.640 --> 02:13:04.040
Um, you know you end up making more money for it

02:13:04.840 --> 02:13:08.680
So, yeah Um

02:13:08.680 --> 02:13:15.240
Speaking of making money The show was brought to you by super micro. Look up in the sky. It's a bird. It's a plane. It's

02:13:15.960 --> 02:13:26.200
Super micro. Oh my god That's right. Super micro is taking things to the next level with their h14 generation servers powered by AMD's epic

02:13:27.000 --> 02:13:33.240
9005 processors with a staggering 192 cores and 384 threads birdchip and

02:13:33.720 --> 02:13:40.680
Powered by radion instinct mi3 25x gpus. These servers are designed to provide maximum performance and efficiency

02:13:41.480 --> 02:13:48.920
That was an up to 192 cores by the way and super micro's building block architecture allows for customization of expansion acceleration networking and storage

02:13:49.080 --> 02:13:52.120
supporting AMD zen 4 and zen 5 processors

02:13:52.360 --> 02:13:59.400
Super micro also has industry leading time to deployment taking just weeks from design to validation and delivery rather than months

02:13:59.800 --> 02:14:04.440
We actually visited their headquarters recently and did a series of videos on all things h14

02:14:04.440 --> 02:14:08.680
Which you can check out on their channel. No heat vision or super speed required

02:14:09.400 --> 02:14:14.840
Visit the link in the description for more information on super micro's h14 servers today

02:14:15.480 --> 02:14:19.000
The show is also brought to you by MSI. Oh my god

02:14:19.800 --> 02:14:27.080
They say diamonds are a girl's best friend, but MSI's mag core liquid i 360 can be a gamer

02:14:27.800 --> 02:14:36.680
girl's best friend With a design inspired by the angular cuts of diamonds the 360 liquid coolers sure to catch an eye or two in those fancy builds

02:14:37.080 --> 02:14:44.200
Their dual sided infinity mirror design further highlights the diamond theme and then blings it the heck out with that sweet sweet RGB

02:14:45.080 --> 02:14:50.360
And to keep things neat and tidy it comes with covers for its pre-installed fan cables creating a cleaner setup

02:14:50.840 --> 02:15:00.120
If super whirling jet engines are not your thing No worries because their ldb technology in the fans is there to lower noise levels improve heat dissipation and

02:15:00.440 --> 02:15:02.440
extend the lifespan of the cooler

02:15:03.640 --> 02:15:08.280
All the goodies you need are included right there in the box like thermal paste mounting screws cables and even an integrated

02:15:08.520 --> 02:15:16.360
Uni installation bracket for both Intel and AMD sockets So go check out the MSI mag core liquid i 360 cooler using our link in the video description

All right Dan, what are we supposed to be doing now? I want to I want to show something really quick before we

02:16:21.480 --> 02:16:25.480
move on we were talking about, uh, you know being able to do different things and and

02:16:26.280 --> 02:16:31.080
Technology moving forward and allowing you to do maybe some more things but blah blah blah. Have you seen this?

02:16:31.880 --> 02:16:39.160
Japanese cafe Employees paralyze people to control robots. That's so cool. So sick. That is so cool. So sick

02:16:41.320 --> 02:16:44.680
That is so cool. The staff is robots, but they are controlled by people

02:16:46.600 --> 02:16:50.120
Actually, so cool. I I love stuff like this

02:16:52.520 --> 02:16:54.520
Huh

02:16:55.880 --> 02:17:01.960
They're avatars for people with diseases and illnesses such as al s to connect with people while they're stuck bedridden

02:17:02.360 --> 02:17:04.920
It's a fantastic concept add it to your itinerary

02:17:05.800 --> 02:17:10.280
Dude, my sister a lot just got back from japan. I would have totally told her to go check that out. Super cool

02:17:10.920 --> 02:17:12.920
Absolutely love this idea

02:17:16.440 --> 02:17:23.080
No ducati there are no plans for an ad-supported Floatplane tier we'd have to build an entire new like ad sales department and

02:17:23.960 --> 02:17:31.000
um, no Lee school said uh as a disabled person I find this more dystopian than cool. Really? Oh

02:17:32.280 --> 02:17:40.760
I Okay, in this case, it's specifically called out like diseased people though not necessarily

02:17:45.480 --> 02:17:48.920
Well, okay duly noted

02:17:52.920 --> 02:18:00.600
Um The wordpress. Oh wait, we're supposed to do merge messages. All right hit us sure message for luke fellow listexic here

02:18:02.120 --> 02:18:05.160
Have you ever read or heard of the dyslexic advantage?

02:18:06.760 --> 02:18:11.080
No, uh, what would be a dyslexic advantage. You also missed part of this merge message

02:18:11.720 --> 02:18:18.040
I thought you'd uh have a google of that. Uh LMG crew keep up the good work and who the f is this Dan guy?

02:18:20.680 --> 02:18:23.160
Interesting I ain't gonna prompt you at this week Linus

02:18:25.000 --> 02:18:29.960
That was very embarrassing. I'm sorry about that Um

02:18:30.120 --> 02:18:35.400
Dyslexic advantage. I have to say I have to say this being a book has got to be the most hilarious thing

02:18:36.840 --> 02:18:40.760
I'm sure you've seen the font. That's got to be the funniest thing I've like ever

02:18:43.560 --> 02:18:49.160
That's like somebody writing an adhd book that's 12 000 pages. Yeah, something like that. Um

02:18:49.960 --> 02:18:53.720
I I would be it would be interesting if it was in one of those fonts. That's easier to read

02:18:53.960 --> 02:18:59.080
Um, but no, I haven't heard of this. I don't know. Um, get an audiobook. Yeah

02:19:01.080 --> 02:19:04.200
Uh reviews are really positive it seems

02:19:05.080 --> 02:19:13.880
Wish I read it sooner Interesting. I yeah, I have no idea what it's supposed to be. I mean, have you found an advantage on your own?

02:19:14.120 --> 02:19:22.200
No, okay, then I guess you need this book Unless I'm like already doing it and don't realize it or something. I don't know, but it just makes reading harder. Maybe it makes

02:19:22.920 --> 02:19:24.920
Cooking chicken easier

02:19:26.360 --> 02:19:29.080
Expert maybe maybe you don't know

02:19:33.400 --> 02:19:37.560
Up next why does Linus focus on the bill of materials cost when

02:19:38.120 --> 02:19:44.120
Arguing a product is an overprice if bomb costs exceed the value to consumers then the product needn't exist

02:19:44.440 --> 02:19:47.640
Sales data seems like a better indicator of value

02:19:48.760 --> 02:19:52.120
okay so

02:19:52.120 --> 02:19:58.680
I Overpriced to me is not a measure of value

02:19:59.480 --> 02:20:05.320
It's a measure of the price and the price is the price the price of

02:20:07.640 --> 02:20:09.640
Let's say

02:20:10.760 --> 02:20:14.520
Man, oh, this is a this is a this is a this is a tough one

02:20:17.400 --> 02:20:24.040
Value is subjective Cost and price is not they are they are objective

02:20:24.520 --> 02:20:31.000
so if something has a bill of materials cost of a hundred dollars and a retail price of

02:20:31.880 --> 02:20:34.680
150 or 200 dollars it is

02:20:35.400 --> 02:20:41.160
objectively Priced within the range of what you would expect based on

02:20:41.800 --> 02:20:48.280
Uh, how what what uh, what a brand would have to price it at in order to account for all of the various other expenses

02:20:48.360 --> 02:20:51.560
That they need to manage within their business all of their administrative overhead

02:20:52.040 --> 02:20:59.000
customer service Breakage and warranty and like after sales support sort of all of that overhead that they have to cover

02:20:59.000 --> 02:21:05.880
You can typically expect a markup on a product to be anywhere from like 50 to 100 points bare minimum

02:21:06.200 --> 02:21:10.440
luxury brands get away with a lot more than that, but that's sort of

02:21:11.480 --> 02:21:19.960
pretty pretty normal And and it can even be normal to go quite a bit higher like software companies, for example, we'll have margins

02:21:20.760 --> 02:21:23.960
way higher than that so

02:21:23.960 --> 02:21:27.560
If you were yeah glasses glasses have have a lot of pharmaceuticals

02:21:28.280 --> 02:21:33.560
Pharmaceuticals a lot of margin about pharmaceutical margin and i'm not going to defend the big pharma companies

02:21:33.560 --> 02:21:37.800
But the thing about pharmaceutical margin is there is a lot of r&d that goes in upfront

02:21:38.280 --> 02:21:42.680
And there is a need to cash in on that. Have they gone a little far?

02:21:43.320 --> 02:21:48.040
Absolutely, like I said, you'll never hear me defend big pharma r&d and a lot of things

02:21:49.480 --> 02:21:53.240
But there can be especially in the past. I'd say it's less true now

02:21:53.640 --> 02:22:00.600
Especially in the past you could work for years trying to develop a drug spend millions and millions and millions of dollars and develop

02:22:01.080 --> 02:22:05.720
Nothing like it was a it was a strike it rich or die trying industry

02:22:05.960 --> 02:22:11.320
I think that with a lot of the new tools they have for drug development these days. It's it's less like that

02:22:12.200 --> 02:22:14.840
But there was a time when it was like that anyway

02:22:16.840 --> 02:22:22.360
So so so the so the cost of something and the price of something is just it's objective. It's measurable

02:22:24.200 --> 02:22:27.080
The value of something is subjective

02:22:27.800 --> 02:22:32.440
And so when you say Sales data seems like a better indicator of value

02:22:33.000 --> 02:22:37.160
I would agree with that. I I would agree that if something sells really well

02:22:37.480 --> 02:22:41.080
Then it's a good value and if something doesn't sell very well

02:22:41.480 --> 02:22:44.840
Then it either was a bad value or there was bad marketing

02:22:44.840 --> 02:22:47.720
There could be a variety of reasons that something doesn't sell very well

02:22:48.040 --> 02:22:53.240
Actually, there can be a variety of reasons that something sells really well including great marketing and not necessarily being a great value

02:22:53.240 --> 02:22:58.280
But yes, I would agree with you that sales data is probably a better indicator of value

02:22:58.840 --> 02:23:04.680
But value is up to you. Yeah, or it's up to you. Yeah, or it's up to me. No

02:23:05.480 --> 02:23:08.520
What no well for me to make a purchase them and me

02:23:09.160 --> 02:23:13.080
Okay, that's it. Yep value is personal

02:23:13.080 --> 02:23:15.480
and so if if if I were to say

02:23:17.000 --> 02:23:19.160
This water bottle I'm going to price it at

02:23:21.160 --> 02:23:25.320
29.99 my cost is $15 you can say

02:23:27.400 --> 02:23:29.800
That's overpriced and I can say

02:23:30.760 --> 02:23:35.080
You're wrong because it isn't that's just what it costs and you might not want one of these

02:23:35.160 --> 02:23:39.800
You might not think that you know the insulated wall matters You might like to drink out of a mason jar

02:23:39.800 --> 02:23:46.040
Which you can just get with like the I don't know the preserves that you would normally buy and you can just

02:23:46.440 --> 02:23:51.560
You can just repurpose it and that's great. That costs you nothing and that's a better value for sure, but

02:23:52.200 --> 02:23:56.360
Um, this isn't overpriced. It's just not something that has a value to use

02:23:56.360 --> 02:24:01.960
So value is subjective and price is objective and that's the difference that took an awful long time carry on

02:24:04.440 --> 02:24:11.800
Sure Um, I'm at my wedding's welcome party and we're getting married tomorrow

02:24:12.520 --> 02:24:17.880
Any advice for the newlyweds on the day of and for a happy life together onwards?

02:24:19.160 --> 02:24:21.160
Have fun. Don't

02:24:22.600 --> 02:24:26.760
What don't have fun That's all I meant

02:24:26.760 --> 02:24:31.480
Don't get married. It's always so cringy when you see those like gifts or whatever of like

02:24:31.880 --> 02:24:36.600
Somebody pushing their partner's face into the cake or something like that and then it ruins the whole thing

02:24:39.800 --> 02:24:41.800
Just don't don't do that

02:24:42.920 --> 02:24:46.920
Don't like don't like push your partner into doing something during the day that they're going to

02:24:47.720 --> 02:24:54.200
Uh regret or might ruin their day. I'm assuming uh based on uh, you know demographics of our viewership that this is

02:24:54.760 --> 02:24:59.560
A dude, um If your partner is a woman

02:24:59.880 --> 02:25:03.320
There's a higher chance that they care about their appearance and stuff

02:25:04.280 --> 02:25:08.360
so You know be careful. Don't don't shove cake in their face

02:25:08.520 --> 02:25:11.320
Even if you've seen it on a meme and it looked funny and they enjoyed it

02:25:11.800 --> 02:25:15.400
Uh, don't risk it ask first

02:25:15.400 --> 02:25:18.200
Do stuff like that luke consent tips be careful

02:25:18.520 --> 02:25:24.200
It's just a lot of people put a ton of value into

02:25:25.160 --> 02:25:28.280
This day, right? So just you know

02:25:29.960 --> 02:25:33.640
Chill and be careful. Don't ruin it for your partner who might care a lot

02:25:39.000 --> 02:25:44.280
Next ah two or three more topics. What do you want to talk about? How about the word press feud?

02:25:45.000 --> 02:25:49.480
Yeah Okay, I'm going to do the background here

02:25:49.800 --> 02:25:56.600
Wordpress.org is an open source web publishing project which powers around 40 percent of the top 10 million websites

02:25:58.200 --> 02:26:06.120
We assume It is owned by matt mullenweg who is also the ceo of automatic which owns wordpress.com

02:26:06.760 --> 02:26:11.400
A freemium web building platform based on wordpress.org

02:26:11.560 --> 02:26:18.360
All right A month ago automatic sent a cease and desist letter to wp engine

02:26:18.760 --> 02:26:25.640
A third-party wordpress hosting service for using the wordpress trademark on their site because according to automatic wordpress

02:26:26.280 --> 02:26:30.920
Excuse me. Wp engine doesn't contribute enough to the open source project

02:26:31.640 --> 02:26:37.320
Wp engine sent their own cease and desist letter and claimed that mullenweg told them he'd take a

02:26:37.640 --> 02:26:43.160
Scorched earth nuclear approach unless they paid eight percent of their revenue as a trademark fee

02:26:43.640 --> 02:26:47.480
Or dedicated an equivalent amount of employee time to the project

02:26:48.440 --> 02:26:56.200
mullenweg has since banned wp engine from using wordpress.org servers, which has broken wp engine customers websites

02:26:57.000 --> 02:27:00.280
Last week wp engine sued wordpress for extortion

02:27:00.840 --> 02:27:05.720
further 159 automatic employees who disagreed with mullenweg's leadership

02:27:05.960 --> 02:27:11.000
Accepted a severance package and left the company which this isn't in our notes

02:27:11.000 --> 02:27:16.040
But he apparently took to mean that everyone who remained agreed with him, which is

02:27:17.240 --> 02:27:19.240
Not how that works

02:27:26.920 --> 02:27:33.400
Yeah Uh discussion question is as much as it's a as much as it's good for people to contribute to open source projects

02:27:33.560 --> 02:27:38.840
How are people supposed to trust open source projects when the rug can get pulled out from under them at a moment's notice?

02:27:39.320 --> 02:27:43.880
Uh, that's true for closed source projects, too. That's just that's just part of life. Um

02:27:46.840 --> 02:27:48.840
I don't know. Yeah, it sucks

02:27:49.880 --> 02:27:57.640
That being said, um of like all the times in the internet's history. This is the easiest one to pivot off

02:27:58.520 --> 02:28:01.160
Um, so as much as it's, you know, terrible

02:28:01.720 --> 02:28:06.840
um I'm sure there are services that will welcome you with open arms wicks

02:28:07.880 --> 02:28:14.040
How much work have you done on your wordpress implementation though? No, it sucks. I'm not trying to say it doesn't suck. Okay. Um

02:28:14.760 --> 02:28:19.400
Just as long as you're not trying to say it doesn't suck because it definitely sucks. Yeah, I know it sucks a lot. Um

02:28:20.200 --> 02:28:25.560
Just I I think what I'm trying to say is like I wouldn't just automatically throw in the towel. Um

02:28:27.320 --> 02:28:29.960
You might feel like you want to do it right now sure might

02:28:30.840 --> 02:28:37.960
And I wouldn't blame you but you know, uh even compared to like a year ago the the internet is more equipped to

02:28:38.920 --> 02:28:41.960
Move your business off of wordpress than it ever has been so

02:28:43.000 --> 02:28:48.120
There is there is light at the end of the tunnel. Um, I suspect there's even going to be companies that

02:28:49.240 --> 02:28:53.720
Pop up that are designed to help you with this. Um, and you know

02:28:54.440 --> 02:28:59.800
You might not have the money to go that route. I work for a publishing company says context menu

02:29:00.120 --> 02:29:04.680
We have over 50 sites running wordpress with hundreds of custom plugins

02:29:05.320 --> 02:29:08.680
Yeah, the custom plugins part is That's

02:29:08.680 --> 02:29:12.840
painful Yeah, it's all it's all really rough. Um

02:29:13.960 --> 02:29:21.720
Like this could actually be a death blow For certain businesses. Oh, it will be I'm 100 certain. I don't know for how many but I'm sure it'll take a couple of them out

02:29:21.880 --> 02:29:28.120
there's a lot of businesses that Uh, you know at a certain point they almost become a passion project and it's like

02:29:28.600 --> 02:29:34.600
I can keep this thing going, but that's pretty much all I've got and a below this big is just going to completely take it out

02:29:35.160 --> 02:29:44.360
um Watch the fire ship video on it. It was really really good and explain both sides better than your notes did fire ship does good stuff so

02:29:45.480 --> 02:29:50.120
I'm not too surprised. Uh, maybe if you're interested in in seeing more on this go check out fire ship

02:29:54.440 --> 02:29:58.040
Matt Matt from Labs web says wordpress is an

02:29:58.760 --> 02:30:05.160
As awful as a product regardless of drama. Anytime is the right time to move on from it. Uh, I don't I don't disagree

02:30:08.120 --> 02:30:16.920
I would I would generally echo that sentiment that being said you don't want it ripped out from under you. Um, you would want to migrate off of it. Um

02:30:18.120 --> 02:30:21.560
Carefully and while taking your time and and stuff like that. Um

02:30:22.040 --> 02:30:28.520
But yeah, this is this is the the wrong circumstances to be unbudging brady says

02:30:29.880 --> 02:30:35.400
Wordpress is the notepad of blog sites change my mind. I won't be able to because you're unbudging but

02:30:36.680 --> 02:30:43.800
I liked it Yeah, I also don't disagree with that. Uh wordpress is just uh, I think their their time has passed in my opinion

02:30:43.800 --> 02:30:46.440
I know there's cool things that they do and stuff, but that's just

02:30:47.240 --> 02:30:50.840
I Speaking of camera the last time I recommended speaking of cool things

02:30:50.840 --> 02:30:56.280
I used to make money through wordpress fun fact really. Yeah, I bought a package of wordpress themes

02:30:56.760 --> 02:31:01.960
This was one of my many small business ideas that I had I bought a package of wordpress themes and then I would just set up

02:31:02.600 --> 02:31:06.600
Info pages for like local businesses and stuff because it was really easy. I have the theme

02:31:06.680 --> 02:31:10.040
So it looks nice. I just put their info on it put their logos on it and it was like cool

02:31:10.840 --> 02:31:16.040
Look, it's not is what it is It was it was uh, it was simple. It was easy. It was good. It was fantastic at the time

02:31:16.200 --> 02:31:18.760
Is exactly what I needed. It was the best tool for the job at the time

02:31:20.360 --> 02:31:26.280
And I would recommend moving off of it now Let's move off this topic. Yeah, behold the cyber cab

02:31:27.480 --> 02:31:34.920
Oh tesla ceo elan musk part-time CEO held an event yesterday to unveil the company's long promised fully autonomous vehicles

02:31:35.720 --> 02:31:39.400
In the form of a new one not the ones he said were fully autonomous before

02:31:39.880 --> 02:31:46.680
The tesla robotaxi the so-called cyber cab currently consists of 20 apparently functional prototype vehicles

02:31:47.080 --> 02:31:52.200
It lacks any steering wheels or pedals which means it would need special authorization from regulators

02:31:52.680 --> 02:31:57.480
Despite lacking any driver and appearing roughly the size of a standard car. It only has two seats

02:31:58.040 --> 02:32:01.800
It also lacks a charging plug and will apparently charge wirelessly

02:32:02.680 --> 02:32:08.120
musk says that tesla will launch fully autonomous driving in tes in texas and california next year

02:32:08.440 --> 02:32:11.800
And that the cyber cab will enter production in 2026

02:32:12.440 --> 02:32:16.200
The 10 year anniversary of when he said full self-driving would be available

02:32:16.760 --> 02:32:23.800
Though it could be delayed until 2027 musk also unveiled a prototype for a driverless 20 passenger robo van

02:32:24.120 --> 02:32:30.040
Which has no official timetable for development or production. And this is a great tweet from 2017

02:32:31.400 --> 02:32:37.480
Uh at borah something I forget every two or three weeks a tech guy accidentally invents the concept of

02:32:37.720 --> 02:32:41.720
the city bus uh, yes

02:32:41.720 --> 02:32:47.720
The event also showed off the humanoid optimist robot again, which musk claims would one day be able to be a teacher

02:32:48.360 --> 02:32:54.120
Baby sit your kids and be your friend The bots were shown serving drinks and interacting with guests at the event

02:32:54.520 --> 02:32:58.280
But these were apparently at least partially telepiloted by human operators

02:32:58.920 --> 02:33:03.720
Following the event tesla stock dropped by 8 while stocks for uber and lyft rose

02:33:03.720 --> 02:33:05.720
Cool

02:33:08.840 --> 02:33:11.240
Well, good luck with that. I think it looks neat

02:33:12.120 --> 02:33:14.760
Yeah, it looks better than the regular cybertruck

02:33:15.560 --> 02:33:19.960
Yeah, well, I mean that's a low bar. It's not a truck though. Yeah

02:33:21.000 --> 02:33:25.400
But yeah, I think it looks neat. Yeah two seater though. That's um

02:33:27.960 --> 02:33:32.920
Kind of a downer what's what's with the like the like star wars shuttle looking version

02:33:33.720 --> 02:33:40.040
This one on the right. Oh, no, that's the bus Yeah, okay, so that's what i'm talking about. Not the cyber cab. Yeah, I think the bus looks neat

02:33:40.680 --> 02:33:43.880
The cyber cab just looks like a slightly different model x as far as I can tell

02:33:45.080 --> 02:33:49.800
And it looks like between a cybertruck and a model x this one. Yeah. Yeah, it's got kind of

02:33:49.960 --> 02:33:55.080
It's got that angled butt. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I don't mind it. Sure. I don't mind it looks better than the cybertruck

02:33:55.640 --> 02:34:03.240
Yeah Anyway, yeah, good luck everybody to the moon, dude to the moon or through the ground stock just went down in vest now, right?

02:34:03.320 --> 02:34:05.640
Yeah, yeah, uh, this is not investment advice

02:34:07.240 --> 02:34:14.200
M1 max are breaking since mid 2023 a significant number of m1 iMac users have reported screen degradation

02:34:14.280 --> 02:34:17.800
Resulting in a pattern of horizontal lines appearing across their displays

02:34:18.200 --> 02:34:22.520
The issue typically crops up after a couple years of use meaning that the devices are out of warranty

02:34:23.080 --> 02:34:29.320
Apple has yet to acknowledge the problem. The one user reported that the technician they went to blamed the issue on a flex cable

02:34:29.720 --> 02:34:35.880
Powering the lcd burning out because it has to sustain voltage of about 50 volts at the screen's highest brightness setting

02:34:36.760 --> 02:34:43.880
Due to how the devices are constructed fixing this issue typically means replacing the whole screen at a cost of around 600 to 700

02:34:43.960 --> 02:34:50.120
dollars It is currently unclear whether apple has fixed the issue in more recent generations of iMac

02:34:50.600 --> 02:34:55.080
And our discussion question here is and this is this is one that I kind of

02:34:55.640 --> 02:35:00.120
Wrote is does apple get an adequate amount of journalistic scrutiny?

02:35:01.240 --> 02:35:04.200
Because it seems like in the last 20 years

02:35:04.840 --> 02:35:15.240
they have gone from Being covered by professional journalists to still being covered by professional journalists, but also having cultivated a following of fans

02:35:15.880 --> 02:35:19.880
Um, I think professional journalism is I think this is almost a different conversation

02:35:19.880 --> 02:35:27.080
And it's that a lot of professional journalism is dying But apple is uh, is apple almost uniquely

02:35:27.960 --> 02:35:32.360
Plays the game so well at least in the tech space of

02:35:33.480 --> 02:35:35.480
of the the sort of the

02:35:36.680 --> 02:35:40.120
The praise for access model um

02:35:40.120 --> 02:35:46.440
If you if you not only it's not and it's not even as simple as if you say the right things about apple

02:35:46.520 --> 02:35:51.240
You'll get invited to steve jobs theater and you'll you know attend the keynotes or whatever. It's it's not that simple

02:35:51.320 --> 02:35:59.240
Yeah, it's you have to not only say the right things you have to be the right things you have to you have to

02:36:04.120 --> 02:36:08.440
What's the word i'm looking for you you almost have to have the right aura you have to

02:36:09.320 --> 02:36:15.640
That is a trend that is Very good. Good job. You've communicated to the the young

02:36:16.520 --> 02:36:30.120
You have to personify The ideal apple customer is what you have to do and I um, I almost wonder if that's detrimental for apple

02:36:31.400 --> 02:36:38.600
In the long term I don't I don't know if they I don't I mean they get a lot of criticism, but I almost

02:36:39.400 --> 02:36:43.880
I like seeing seeing all the seeing all the better things about

02:36:44.840 --> 02:36:48.600
iOS 18 right seeing how much better it is

02:36:49.640 --> 02:36:57.400
I don't know if it makes me I don't know if it makes me think that they have heard all the things that they're supposed to be doing and then just weren't doing it

02:36:57.960 --> 02:37:04.200
Or if they were shut off from it and are finally hearing it like I don't know what it is exactly that

02:37:05.080 --> 02:37:12.520
That made them sort of ignore these obvious egregious glaring issues for so long like not being able to rearrange your your icons on your home screen

02:37:12.520 --> 02:37:16.920
Stuff like that. Yeah, but people were pointing the issue out even when there was more negative

02:37:17.000 --> 02:37:20.040
They were but were those voices powerful enough? I guess is the question

02:37:20.680 --> 02:37:26.920
Is apple under enough scrutiny? But are they loud in the right places? Remember? You're not necessarily reading a random

02:37:27.560 --> 02:37:32.520
Uh discussion forum on mac rumors if you're if you're a decision maker at apple

02:37:33.640 --> 02:37:38.360
Like the people with access the people who can actually talk directly to decision makers

02:37:39.320 --> 02:37:41.320
Are they putting the right amount of pressure on them?

02:37:42.520 --> 02:37:45.320
Because like i'm looking at this i'm looking at this screen issue, right?

02:37:47.480 --> 02:37:52.520
When when ASUS didn't acknowledge the sd card problem with the ally

02:37:53.640 --> 02:37:58.840
We weren't the only ones having meetings with top-level executives basically saying you guys need to do this

02:38:00.040 --> 02:38:06.040
Yeah, I don't know if anybody holds that kind of power over apple and I don't think apple wants that

02:38:06.680 --> 02:38:12.840
Oh, they definitely don't But will that be but will that be damaging to them in the longer term is the question that i'm asking

02:38:12.920 --> 02:38:18.200
I have a hard time believing honestly any company wants that. I feel like most companies will comply with that to try to

02:38:19.160 --> 02:38:22.200
uh Soften the below. I actually disagree

02:38:22.840 --> 02:38:25.560
um, and no company is is monolithic

02:38:26.360 --> 02:38:29.160
But there are certainly ones that i've encountered that

02:38:30.120 --> 02:38:39.640
value criticism Okay, at a high level. I think what I was pointing out was the the public nature of a lot of the criticism that happened around ASUS

02:38:39.720 --> 02:38:46.600
I don't think anybody wants that No, I don't think anybody wants a media firestorm necessarily. Yeah, but I think that

02:38:47.240 --> 02:38:50.680
Um, I do definitely think there are companies that really want

02:38:51.480 --> 02:38:56.440
Measured good accurate constructive criticism. Definitely. There are there are quite a few companies that like

02:38:57.160 --> 02:39:00.360
I don't know if apple does pay money to have that let alone

02:39:00.360 --> 02:39:06.200
Just want cmd. Karini says who says apple isn't adequately addressing the issue. Well, they haven't acknowledged it that step one

02:39:06.760 --> 02:39:12.920
Of addressing the issue an apple is a long history of not. Yeah, they have they have a long history of ignoring things

02:39:13.320 --> 02:39:16.600
so hard uh, hoping that they'll go away

02:39:16.840 --> 02:39:22.200
only to Finally acknowledge them only if they if they get enough backlash

02:39:22.840 --> 02:39:29.320
butterfly keyboard for example bump gate on the the older macbooks like this is this is not this is not a new thing

02:39:29.800 --> 02:39:31.800
Let's let's not pretend

02:39:34.360 --> 02:39:40.200
You're holding it wrong. Yeah, exactly vertical one. Um, that's about it fisker

02:39:41.400 --> 02:39:44.200
Can't sell its cars due to server issues

02:39:45.480 --> 02:39:53.800
this Is such a cautionary tale and we should all listen extremely intently for the next two minutes

02:39:54.520 --> 02:40:02.600
As part of its bankruptcy proceedings evie company fisker has been attempting to liquidate its assets in order to pay back creditors

02:40:03.240 --> 02:40:07.800
In june rental company american lease agreed to purchase fiskers remaining

02:40:08.840 --> 02:40:11.400
3,300 vehicles for 46.3 million dollars

02:40:12.360 --> 02:40:19.560
As of last week american lease had paid 42.5 million and had accepted delivery of a third of the vehicles

02:40:20.520 --> 02:40:26.600
Last friday fiskers revealed that they couldn't transfer the vehicle's cloud link

02:40:26.920 --> 02:40:30.920
To another company's servers due to an underlying technical issue

02:40:31.560 --> 02:40:36.440
It is unclear how long fiskers knew about this problem prior to informing american lease

02:40:40.360 --> 02:40:45.560
I wonder what that issue is it doesn't matter like it's a bankruptcy thing. So just give them the servers

02:40:46.280 --> 02:40:51.800
The point is Well, not necessarily because not every car will be owned by american lease

02:40:52.760 --> 02:40:57.160
There are still end users out there. So it could be a privacy issue. It could be anything. It could be a technical issue

02:40:57.160 --> 02:40:59.160
It could be a contractual issue. We don't know

02:41:00.600 --> 02:41:05.560
Because american lease would struggle to run the fleet of vehicles without the cloud based features

02:41:05.960 --> 02:41:09.240
The company has filed an emergency objection to fiskers liquidation plan

02:41:09.640 --> 02:41:16.520
The doj has filed its own objection based on claims that fiskers has been asking owners of their vehicles to cover the costs of their own recall repairs

02:41:17.000 --> 02:41:22.520
Fiskers also appears to be under investigation by the sec, but the exact focus of the investigation is currently unknown

02:41:30.200 --> 02:41:35.400
So here's the problem the problem is not fiskers necessarily here the problem is not

02:41:36.040 --> 02:41:40.200
Just this car or this server the problem is that this

02:41:41.560 --> 02:41:45.080
Will happen to basically everything that you own

02:41:45.640 --> 02:41:48.760
Once it is reliant on cloud based services. Absolutely

02:41:49.400 --> 02:41:56.040
Everything that you purchase Because is it really a purchase if it just stops working when somebody rent?

02:41:56.600 --> 02:42:00.600
Yeah, when somebody sort of decides they don't feel like paying for it anymore

02:42:01.320 --> 02:42:07.560
um I forget how I started the sentence. So it doesn't matter the point is that everything

02:42:08.440 --> 02:42:17.000
is literally one bad decision or one key person being hit by a bus or or one

02:42:17.800 --> 02:42:24.040
um Infrastructure error away from being a brick and this is terrifying

02:42:25.560 --> 02:42:32.520
Yeah Back to tesla for a minute back to every single day that goes by I like my car more

02:42:33.160 --> 02:42:41.560
They have done a very good job actually by and large of providing ota updates to their vehicles going back to pretty much the first ones

02:42:42.120 --> 02:42:50.760
From day one. I said these things are going to be a disaster because they keep revving the hardware so frequently and um

02:42:51.400 --> 02:43:01.480
the the the ongoing overhead of supporting all of these various uh all these various models and all of these various iterations of the hardware

02:43:01.800 --> 02:43:07.080
Is going to be completely untenable and they're just going to start sort of deprecating them and it's gonna

02:43:07.720 --> 02:43:12.760
I was wrong. They have actually done overall a pretty spectacular job

02:43:13.240 --> 02:43:17.960
In that in that regard. They've done a pretty bad job of a lot of other things, but that

02:43:18.840 --> 02:43:25.240
I got to give credit But that doesn't mean that I was overall wrong about that problem

02:43:25.960 --> 02:43:29.560
and fisker anyone who bought a fisker

02:43:29.560 --> 02:43:32.920
or um 3300 fiskers

02:43:33.480 --> 02:43:37.240
Is going to is finding that out the hard way and i'm just

02:43:38.520 --> 02:43:44.120
I don't know what to do What do we do luke help me?

02:43:51.240 --> 02:43:53.480
I want to say vote with your wallet, but like what what can you even

02:43:56.200 --> 02:43:58.680
How many cars even are there that aren't

02:43:59.400 --> 02:44:05.560
Basically, this is acceptable to a similar issue like this right now that you would buy new. Yeah, this I wrote this in the uh

02:44:06.120 --> 02:44:11.640
in the topic doc This is f***ed and applies to basically every car

02:44:11.960 --> 02:44:17.320
Yeah For prep for this one I'd love to have a list of car brands that existed in the 90s and don't exist anymore

02:44:17.640 --> 02:44:22.120
If you think your car company is going to last and this won't be a problem. You are literally wrong

02:44:22.520 --> 02:44:25.640
Pontiac Yeah, there's one

02:44:25.960 --> 02:44:30.600
Mercury yeah nice Saturn's still around

02:44:30.600 --> 02:44:35.960
Nope Speaking of planet-based car company. I know right sob. Sob. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sion

02:44:37.160 --> 02:44:45.480
Not 90s, but delorean. Yeah holds mobile Yeah, a lot of these were bought out by other companies, but that's sort of what's happening here. Suzuki pulled out of canada

02:44:46.040 --> 02:44:50.120
um, yeah Datsun

02:44:50.120 --> 02:44:53.960
Yeah So a lot of companies

02:44:53.960 --> 02:45:01.080
Yeah, I mean some of them have like still exist but have changed ownership like multiple times like jaguar is not a british

02:45:01.560 --> 02:45:05.720
um car manufacturer Uh, who has owned

02:45:06.360 --> 02:45:12.680
Jaguar I thought they were like australian or something they became nationalized in 1975 due to financial difficulties

02:45:12.920 --> 02:45:20.280
I don't know. They were british, uh, but in 1984 Uh, it became its own company again ford motors purchased them in 1999

02:45:20.680 --> 02:45:25.000
And then land rover in 2000 selling both to tata motors in 2008

02:45:25.480 --> 02:45:28.600
Where's tata? India, I think. Okay

02:45:28.600 --> 02:45:34.120
Was it an australian movie where they talk about it then or something? There was there was something. I don't I don't remember. Anyways

02:45:38.200 --> 02:45:40.920
Yeah, yeah tata is based in uh, mumbai

02:45:43.240 --> 02:45:46.840
Wild though, right? uh amc. There's another one. Um

02:45:47.080 --> 02:45:53.000
Holden was apparently the uh, the australian one. A lot of these were bought. Yeah

02:45:56.440 --> 02:46:00.120
All right, what else we got is there good news? Plymouth. Is there good news? Behold

02:46:00.760 --> 02:46:10.360
Nintendo's alarmo On wednesday, nintendo announced new hardware that has spent 10 years developing a $100 alarm clock called alarmo

02:46:10.840 --> 02:46:15.160
Alarmo has an optional motion detection feature and will make game sounds when its user moves

02:46:15.640 --> 02:46:19.880
Users can use gestures to enable snooze on their alarm and turn it off simply by getting out of bed

02:46:20.280 --> 02:46:25.560
It likewise tracks the user's sleep. Nintendo suggests not using the motion tracking feature if you sleep with another person

02:46:32.440 --> 02:46:36.920
Tell me the product is only for forever alone without telling me that in addition to this announcement

02:46:37.000 --> 02:46:41.320
Probably kids nintendo has published a four-part interview with the clocks developers

02:46:42.760 --> 02:46:47.080
Oh um

02:46:47.080 --> 02:46:50.680
Discussion question. Does nintendo not understand what people want from them?

02:46:50.840 --> 02:46:56.520
Or is there actually a huge untapped market for nintendo themed alarm clocks that you can't use if you have a girlfriend

02:46:58.280 --> 02:47:01.640
I I just saw this and i was like

02:47:01.640 --> 02:47:08.680
what Like nintendo has made all kinds of things over the years, especially if you go back to their pre-video game days

02:47:08.920 --> 02:47:14.040
Like they're they're an old company and Playing cards. Yeah, they've they've created some

02:47:14.680 --> 02:47:17.560
Oddly unbelievable products, but this one i'm just like

02:47:19.160 --> 02:47:26.280
Why who was asking for this? Like I could I could I could see if it was a switch dock or something switch dock with a built-in clock

02:47:26.520 --> 02:47:32.600
I don't I don't know they've been interested. There's a there's an add-on thinking you can get for pokemon go that tracks your sleep

02:47:33.080 --> 02:47:36.520
There's a game called pokemon sleep

02:47:37.240 --> 02:47:42.600
Um, and now they have this they've been really into sleep stuff for actually a long time

02:47:42.600 --> 02:47:45.400
This isn't their only thing right now that

02:47:46.200 --> 02:47:50.040
um Deals with sleep

02:47:50.120 --> 02:47:55.880
El bardo says I love nintendo because they do their own thing without paying attention to trends

02:47:56.680 --> 02:47:59.640
Sometimes you get the switch. Sometimes you get this

02:48:00.520 --> 02:48:03.800
Yeah You got to diversify

02:48:04.840 --> 02:48:09.400
I just yeah, I mean, yeah, maybe we should maybe we should do an alarm clock like I just

02:48:10.360 --> 02:48:17.560
It just feels so random. Why don't you want the sleep motion tracking of all of your employees in the Linus town?

02:48:18.840 --> 02:48:22.360
What you make sure everyone you make sure everyone goes to bed on time. It's good

02:48:22.680 --> 02:48:25.640
It'll only work if you sleep with somebody else

02:48:26.840 --> 02:48:34.680
Only work. It'll only make more members of the Linus. Absolutely. Oh my goodness. You guys we're not doing Linus town

02:48:35.560 --> 02:48:40.840
Even if I had the money I wouldn't spend it on Linus town that would be embarrassing

02:48:42.360 --> 02:48:46.520
That would actually be like cringe-worthingly narcissistic

02:48:48.120 --> 02:48:50.680
Yeah, but we all more so than everything else. Yes

02:48:52.520 --> 02:48:55.720
They're gonna back me up on this one. They hate agreeing with me, but guys come on

02:48:55.960 --> 02:49:03.000
It's it's almost to the point It's almost to the point where it's annoying to type in our website domains because they all start with either Linus or l

02:49:03.640 --> 02:49:11.160
Every single one of them searching for your name on documents. They don't or in teams is like impossible

02:49:12.440 --> 02:49:16.840
Floatplane you can use that against me the one that

02:49:17.400 --> 02:49:21.400
Oh, well LTT Store. No, no, no, no LTT Labs

02:49:22.120 --> 02:49:26.040
Linus media group creator warehouse tech creator warehouse.com boom

02:49:26.600 --> 02:49:31.640
Short Linus. Weird. It seems like it redirected to something. Well, it seems like I will

02:49:33.000 --> 02:49:38.920
Got them. Yeah. Yeah Floatplane.com. Let's go. Yeah. Oh, look at this video coming young people try Windows xp

02:49:39.560 --> 02:49:44.760
Oh, that's actually kind of cool. Yeah, that's uh The question we set out to answer is

02:49:45.720 --> 02:49:51.400
Is Windows xp actually as goaded as the people who remember it think it is? Yes. Yes

02:49:53.000 --> 02:49:58.440
You may be disappointed. I don't care. Okay. What a roll Windows are wrong Windows seven goat

02:49:59.400 --> 02:50:05.720
Well, yeah Yeah, but Windows xp. We'll see Windows xp was better because we can

02:50:06.440 --> 02:50:11.320
Right click something and it uses it as a click instead of having to left click and then right click

02:50:11.400 --> 02:50:17.800
That is actually the best thing the problem with the wrong opinions about the people that are going to be in this video. Um, is that

02:50:19.560 --> 02:50:22.440
They are valuing convenience over quality

02:50:22.920 --> 02:50:26.600
You are making a lot of assumptions about these people. There's only one wait

02:50:26.840 --> 02:50:31.640
There's only one settings application for the whole computer instead of two that are split

02:50:31.720 --> 02:50:34.760
And then one of them opens another one and some of the settings are in one

02:50:34.760 --> 02:50:39.800
But they're also in another one, but they probably won't have to open on Windows 11. So they'll think that's better

02:50:40.520 --> 02:50:42.520
I'm just waiting for Windows 12

02:50:43.880 --> 02:50:49.960
Intel has unveiled aro lake their new core ultra 200 s series CPU's

02:50:51.240 --> 02:50:58.040
Also known as aro lake s Have been announced and sales and pre-orders will begin on october 24

02:50:58.840 --> 02:51:03.480
For about the same price as 14th gen core chips. You'll be getting parity performance

02:51:04.040 --> 02:51:07.000
Asterisk at about half the power consumption

02:51:07.080 --> 02:51:13.080
Of course, you'll need to buy a new z890 motherboard since aro lake s needs the new lga 1851 socket

02:51:13.480 --> 02:51:18.680
And also z890 boards do not support ddr4. So you'll probably need some new RAM

02:51:19.480 --> 02:51:25.640
Also, the performance isn't quite the same team blue admits the geomean of the gaming performance of the flagship core ultra 9

02:51:25.720 --> 02:51:30.280
285 k is actually five percent less than the 14 900 k

02:51:30.840 --> 02:51:37.480
But they do claim an eight percent increase in single threaded performance and 15 percent in multi-threaded workloads compared to 14th gen

02:51:37.880 --> 02:51:41.880
Oh, and they have npu's, but they're not good enough for co-pilot plus. So

02:51:43.400 --> 02:51:51.800
nice So our discussion question is if the performance was identical to 14th gen at half the power consumption

02:51:52.920 --> 02:51:55.000
Would anyone find these chips worth the upgrade?

02:51:56.360 --> 02:52:01.960
Upgrade, I don't know. I think we are happy about a new purchase. Definitely. I think we are long past

02:52:03.160 --> 02:52:07.480
Upgrading from the last generation. I think we've been long past for a long time

02:52:07.560 --> 02:52:13.160
Yeah, and I think we've probably beat this horse enough talking about the latest iPhones

02:52:13.240 --> 02:52:15.720
There was something else that came out recently that I was like

02:52:16.360 --> 02:52:20.200
I mean, I don't think that's necessarily true of everything. I think on the GPU side

02:52:20.360 --> 02:52:25.800
We should expect a generational upgrade for how bloody long we wait for a new generation of product

02:52:25.880 --> 02:52:31.880
That's fair. You don't wait as long for CPU though I think also it's very likely that a lot of the people watching the show right now

02:52:32.680 --> 02:52:35.000
Either don't pay for their own power or

02:52:35.800 --> 02:52:38.040
Have relatively cheap power

02:52:39.000 --> 02:52:44.600
There are places in the world less euro audience here, but yeah, there's there's quite a few places in the world where

02:52:45.240 --> 02:52:47.960
Power costs are like a huge factor

02:52:48.600 --> 02:52:53.560
So you might not care about it, but someone else might but that might just mean this might not be for you

02:52:53.640 --> 02:52:56.360
This product might not be for you. You already have a CPU. That's pretty good

02:52:57.560 --> 02:53:04.600
It's probably not for you Assuming your power costs are also either not way too high or you don't pay for it

02:53:05.560 --> 02:53:11.320
I didn't I didn't and Fleming I didn't I didn't mean everyone watching. Yeah

02:53:13.640 --> 02:53:18.680
In other breaking news. Yes piracy does cause a drop in revenue for games

02:53:21.080 --> 02:53:24.280
A peer-reviewed study I really don't agree with this study

02:53:24.520 --> 02:53:31.080
Here we go putting that out there a peer-reviewed study compared games with denuvo drm and found that games where a crack was available at

02:53:31.080 --> 02:53:37.000
Launch suffered an average loss of 19 percent of legitimate sales in those early weeks compared to games where no crack was available

02:53:37.080 --> 02:53:45.880
How do you measure that? However Piracy resulted in nearly zero mean total revenue loss when the drm survived for 12 or more weeks

02:53:46.120 --> 02:53:49.080
Because new sales drop off quickly after the first few months

02:53:49.800 --> 02:53:57.320
According to the study there was no apparent connection between the type of game and its likelihood of getting cracked earlier or later

02:53:58.120 --> 02:54:04.840
Discussion question here is should game publishers consider ditching drm a few months post launch?

02:54:05.320 --> 02:54:09.320
Hey, what would you think of that luke? It's an interesting idea launch drm

02:54:09.320 --> 02:54:18.920
Yeah, and then okay You know it's going to be cheaper now anyway, so if you're not desperate to play it immediately anyway, then we can just

02:54:19.560 --> 02:54:23.240
Screw off and take our hooks out of your kernel or whatever

02:54:23.800 --> 02:54:27.000
Actually kind of love that. It's an interesting interesting way to go for sure

02:54:29.000 --> 02:54:34.840
I Want to see I really want to know who funded the study

02:54:38.200 --> 02:54:40.200
I want to know if it's time for mine after dark

02:54:45.000 --> 02:54:51.560
Dan I thought you were asking luke. No, I'm not. I'm asking Dan. I think it should be looks all right. Let's get out of here soon. Yeah

02:54:51.960 --> 02:54:55.320
I will push the button and then I will push these other buttons

02:54:56.440 --> 02:55:02.920
There's a lot of buttons Which one is it? Well, they say nothing was a problem, which is what it is

02:55:04.840 --> 02:55:09.160
Sorry Here's the um declaration of competing interest

02:55:09.640 --> 02:55:13.400
What what is up with the the capitalization on the word credit? I don't know

02:55:14.680 --> 02:55:17.000
A declaration of the authors declare they have no

02:55:19.000 --> 02:55:23.880
That means so much okay All right

02:55:25.400 --> 02:55:30.920
Okay Make of it what you will you can like it or not like it or believe it or not believe it

02:55:34.040 --> 02:55:41.320
I don't think anyone's ever gonna agree No on this because by its very definition it cannot be measured. No

02:55:42.200 --> 02:55:44.200
um

02:55:45.400 --> 02:55:53.640
Because you're you're talking about different games now It's like there's so many variables involved with that. There are so many variables. What if that game just wasn't gonna sell as much

02:55:53.960 --> 02:55:55.960
There are a lot of variables like

02:55:58.520 --> 02:56:04.680
And you we we know that our ability to predict that is not perfect or else certain games wouldn't be made

02:56:06.680 --> 02:56:08.680
I don't know

02:56:10.280 --> 02:56:18.040
How about some march message has do it I've been loving my hat and as if the person who did the study is a developer

02:56:19.000 --> 02:56:23.000
who made a game so like

02:56:23.000 --> 02:56:30.920
I'm not saying it makes them bias But I think just having a statement that says like we're definitely not is also not necessarily fair

02:56:31.640 --> 02:56:37.960
Anyways, what if you just have no DRM and then understand that the people who pirate your game are not gonna be the people that purchased it

02:56:38.040 --> 02:56:44.680
And there will be some probably yeah, there will be some didn't lose two billion dollars in revenue because of account sharing

02:56:45.240 --> 02:56:50.200
That was never their money. Anyway, merch messages. I've been loving my hat and as a theater tech

02:56:50.280 --> 02:56:56.280
I'm sure I'll get a lot of use from a blank black tea question for l l and d

02:56:56.760 --> 02:56:59.640
Did any of you guys see the northern lights last night?

02:57:00.200 --> 02:57:04.360
Uh, no, no, we had uh, we had a solar event a little while ago

02:57:04.840 --> 02:57:08.280
Like I mean a few months ago. I guess I don't remember exactly when it was but

02:57:08.760 --> 02:57:12.600
Um, I saw people posting pictures of it and I was like, wow, that looks really cool

02:57:13.000 --> 02:57:18.840
And then I went and I looked at it in person I was like, oh and I pointed my phone camera at it and I was like

02:57:19.400 --> 02:57:24.920
Oh, wow, it sure looks a lot better in pictures I probably could have just looked at this in pictures and it actually would have been better

02:57:26.280 --> 02:57:30.680
So that's kind of where I'm at on looking at the northern lights at least this far south

02:57:31.480 --> 02:57:33.960
This far south it's like kind of a problem. They're usually kind of crap

02:57:34.920 --> 02:57:39.960
If you're in, uh, places in alberta and stuff, there's some there's some pretty cool spots to catch it

02:57:39.960 --> 02:57:43.800
But yeah, I'm looking through this person's like personal blog and they actually seem pretty cool

02:57:43.960 --> 02:57:47.080
But I maintain that I don't think it can be properly measured

02:57:48.920 --> 02:57:52.520
Okay Yes, it can't be properly measured

02:57:52.520 --> 02:57:58.600
But I also think it's naive to say that every person who pirated wasn't gonna buy it. Oh, absolutely

02:57:59.000 --> 02:58:07.880
You're definitely losing some amount 20% there's like no way I think measuring it is basically impossible. Yes. I think we can agree on that

02:58:08.200 --> 02:58:12.840
Yeah, I really don't think 20% is that's that's gotta be way too high

02:58:13.480 --> 02:58:16.760
I don't even think 20% of gamers would know how to pirate it

02:58:20.600 --> 02:58:24.680
That I don't know about necessarily

02:58:24.680 --> 02:58:30.680
And it's probably changed a lot over the over the years. That's why like I would I would think

02:58:31.400 --> 02:58:37.080
20% of pc gamers in the mid 2000s probably could figure out how to pirate a game. Yes now

02:58:37.480 --> 02:58:40.520
Yeah, I don't know and it could be very genre dependent as well

02:58:40.920 --> 02:58:46.040
Like if you've got a game that like is super appealing to like tech heads and engineering sorts

02:58:46.040 --> 02:58:49.480
You like a Kerbal space program or you've like a satisfactory or something like that

02:58:49.560 --> 02:58:54.680
I would say piracy is more of a threat. Yeah, then if you've got like a hyper casual fall guys

02:58:55.480 --> 02:59:03.880
You know, um Assuming we don't need the online. Yeah online. Um, but like that type of a game. Yeah, like something more more casual

02:59:05.080 --> 02:59:08.840
Interesting. Okay, let's move on. I don't feel like arguing about it

02:59:09.240 --> 02:59:13.960
Why is it okay that NVIDIA locks down every setting and makes everything close source?

02:59:14.040 --> 02:59:19.880
But it's a problem when Apple does the same thing Do you see the value of Apple's walled garden as safer?

02:59:20.200 --> 02:59:23.080
When did I ever seem like I was super chill with NVIDIA's approach?

02:59:23.240 --> 02:59:27.000
We've negatively pointed this out like a trillion times and a lot of people do

02:59:27.640 --> 02:59:32.840
People dunk on that constantly especially when it comes to their Linux support. I have I have talked

02:59:33.640 --> 02:59:36.120
Multiple times on this show. I'm gonna say

02:59:36.760 --> 02:59:42.840
Many times on this show about the fact that NVIDIA and Apple do not work together on anything

02:59:43.560 --> 02:59:46.120
They do not work together at all. Do you know why?

02:59:46.920 --> 02:59:51.160
Because there is no room that is large enough to fit two

02:59:52.120 --> 02:59:54.120
Penises that big

02:59:55.240 --> 02:59:58.840
There's no room for them to swing them around so they just don't do it

03:00:01.800 --> 03:00:09.000
Won't work can't work They used to there used to be NVIDIA GPUs in MacBooks. Think about it. What happened?

03:00:10.120 --> 03:00:13.720
bump gate happened and neither of them

03:00:13.800 --> 03:00:16.600
could admit any kind of failure

03:00:17.240 --> 03:00:25.240
to each other to the public And that was it. They never worked together again. It was that simple

03:00:28.600 --> 03:00:37.640
Hello Linus. They're they both they both have just a spectacularly arrogant way of doing business

03:00:39.560 --> 03:00:44.920
Yeah, and no, it's not good when either of them does it. They're they're different in their approaches

03:00:45.640 --> 03:00:48.120
I think apples is far more

03:00:49.480 --> 03:00:53.000
Anti-consumer like directly to their to their customers

03:00:53.800 --> 03:01:01.240
But I mean, I guess NVIDIA's is is anti their their purchasers of their equipment as well. It just manifests far more

03:01:02.760 --> 03:01:05.640
Behind the scenes because you are not an NVIDIA customer

03:01:07.000 --> 03:01:13.880
Ad and board partners are NVIDIA customers solutions providers and system integrators are NVIDIA customers and NVIDIA

03:01:14.600 --> 03:01:22.760
Absolutely treats them With the exact same level of contempt that Apple does their customers. It's just way less visible

03:01:24.840 --> 03:01:29.400
All right, hello Hello Linus when purchasing your tie can't take can't

03:01:29.960 --> 03:01:33.080
Were you aware of its sibling the Audi e-tron gt?

03:01:33.720 --> 03:01:40.760
It has real buttons inside and no Porsche tax mechanically. They are nearly identical. I was aware of it

03:01:40.840 --> 03:01:44.760
I didn't like it as much um

03:01:44.760 --> 03:01:47.160
Also, it's really expensive too

03:01:48.120 --> 03:01:50.280
What do you I mean? It has an Audi tax

03:01:51.400 --> 03:01:56.360
so Right, no one at work drives an Audi and I find that very

03:01:57.720 --> 03:02:07.160
reasonable Okay, where's even like the locus locus. Who where's the most local Audi dealership? Where's the closest one?

03:02:07.320 --> 03:02:10.840
I don't know. I mean there's there there exist. I mean, there's definitely not even a use

03:02:10.920 --> 03:02:15.560
I don't see how you're gonna used outies. Yeah, I don't see very many outies in bc at all

03:02:17.720 --> 03:02:21.640
Yeah, I don't know. Oh, no, it is it is quite a bit less expensive

03:02:22.360 --> 03:02:29.080
um I admittedly didn't look that close. Okay, no, hold on. No, no, they just have a sort of different model for it

03:02:29.160 --> 03:02:34.760
So it only has one trim, but then you just add stuff to it. So hold on a second if you like

03:02:35.880 --> 03:02:39.720
Add a bunch of like fancy crap to it. You can oh you can definitely

03:02:40.920 --> 03:02:46.600
You can definitely get her like if you want heated rear seats and blah blah blah fine nappa leather

03:02:48.120 --> 03:02:53.560
You can oh no, I actually no I do you cannot make it as expensive as I can. Nope not even close

03:02:54.200 --> 03:02:59.320
So, yeah, you're right. It's cheaper. Um, I went to see it. I didn't really like it and I think it's kind of that simple

03:03:02.920 --> 03:03:08.120
First purchase as a full-time software engineer gearing up for the home projects to come

03:03:08.600 --> 03:03:13.240
Question for Linus. Are there any videos similar to the Intel fab tour in the pipeline?

03:03:14.520 --> 03:03:18.520
Fab tour Oh, um, we're going to look at an isp

03:03:20.120 --> 03:03:26.040
Oh, yeah, well that'll be sweet. Yeah, that'll be fun. That's cool. Actually, that's awesome. Yeah, and I think there's like, uh

03:03:26.440 --> 03:03:32.440
Oh man, what is it? What is it again? No, it's like, uh, it's it's really interesting for some reason

03:03:33.080 --> 03:03:42.280
Uh, why is it interesting? Yeah, no, it's going to be really cool. I think it's an isp or a data center or something and I think it's um

03:03:44.040 --> 03:03:51.800
I don't want to say what it is exactly, but it's really cool I forget because I think I remember what it is, but I don't remember if I think I if I remember right

03:03:54.600 --> 03:03:57.720
If it's what I think it is it's going to be the coolest thing ever

03:03:58.120 --> 03:04:01.720
And if it's just a random data center or isp, then it's still going to be really cool

03:04:02.600 --> 03:04:09.160
there How do current gen consoles use GDDR as system RAM?

03:04:09.240 --> 03:04:14.920
Why hasn't this been done on laptops or handheld gaming devices to increase integrated GPU memory bandwidth?

03:04:15.320 --> 03:04:20.920
That's a good question for an engineer. Um, I admit that I do not

03:04:22.520 --> 03:04:32.120
I am not familiar enough with the differences between regular ddr and GDDR enough to tell you why it works fine for a console and why it

03:04:32.200 --> 03:04:35.720
doesn't work fine for computer

03:04:35.720 --> 03:04:40.440
My understanding and there there have been computers that do use GDDR memory. There was that weird

03:04:41.720 --> 03:04:47.240
I forget the brand but that weird like china only console pc that did use GDDR

03:04:47.960 --> 03:04:51.240
We've also seen like like these bizarre

03:04:51.880 --> 03:04:54.680
like frankenstein console boards that

03:04:55.480 --> 03:05:00.360
You can like install Windows on and stuff and they are definitely using GDDR

03:05:00.520 --> 03:05:05.880
Um, my understanding is it just comes down to that ddr has better latency

03:05:05.960 --> 03:05:09.880
Which is better for running an operating system and GDDR has better bandwidth

03:05:10.760 --> 03:05:16.040
Excuse me better bandwidth, which is better for graphics where throughput is the most important thing

03:05:16.520 --> 03:05:24.120
and These console operating systems are optimized so that they don't have as many sort of random processes running

03:05:24.200 --> 03:05:27.400
So there's there's not as much of a hit from having higher latency

03:05:27.400 --> 03:05:31.400
But beyond that I couldn't tell you and I don't I have to admit

03:05:31.400 --> 03:05:35.880
I don't really understand why as we make our way into you know dddr 6x

03:05:36.360 --> 03:05:41.640
um Why the latency might not be good enough to use as your system memory as well

03:05:41.640 --> 03:05:44.760
I mean apple is clearly using shared system memory although in that case

03:05:45.320 --> 03:05:50.520
Um, I are they using are they using hbm? I can't I actually can't remember off the top of my head right now

03:05:51.240 --> 03:05:59.800
m3 mac Memory type. No, I think it's just is it ddr. Why can't I remember right now? Help me

03:06:01.480 --> 03:06:04.760
Lp ddr 5x. Yeah, okay, so it's it's not GDDR

03:06:05.240 --> 03:06:09.720
So apple clearly uses regular ddr as GPU memory

03:06:10.280 --> 03:06:13.960
And consoles clearly use GDDR as system memory

03:06:16.760 --> 03:06:27.640
Ask the engineers Trying again since we ran out of time last week. What is one regulation in your industry that you'd like to change or remove?

03:06:28.040 --> 03:06:30.040
And maybe one that you would like to add

03:06:32.200 --> 03:06:39.160
In my industry a regulation that I'd like to change or remove. I hate zoning regulations

03:06:40.280 --> 03:06:43.480
I think they suck I think that

03:06:43.480 --> 03:06:45.720
If you are you know building something

03:06:46.520 --> 03:06:50.360
tasteful and safe and

03:06:50.360 --> 03:06:57.640
I don't think all zoning sucks Mixed residential business mixed residential business. Yeah, but I don't necessarily want like

03:06:58.840 --> 03:07:03.640
Highly polluting factories in residential areas. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. No, there's not all zoning sucks

03:07:03.640 --> 03:07:07.160
There's value to zoning, but I am most zoning on the other hand

03:07:07.960 --> 03:07:10.120
Yeah, terrible downer. Okay

03:07:11.000 --> 03:07:13.560
Uh, I think the one that I would want to get rid of is the

03:07:14.520 --> 03:07:22.360
I don't remember what it is, but there's some type of Claim or something that you can put on a youtube video where you end up getting people's person identifiable information

03:07:23.640 --> 03:07:27.400
Really if you want to fight it Oh

03:07:27.400 --> 03:07:33.880
Yeah, that's pretty gross. Yeah, it's a problem. Like I think some vtuber was going through this recently or something where

03:07:34.680 --> 03:07:38.040
People are putting some form of claim against their account

03:07:38.760 --> 03:07:42.360
Because if they want to fight that claim they have to give them their information

03:07:42.920 --> 03:07:51.480
And they don't want to be publicly identifiable So they can't fight the whole reason why they're a vtuber. So they can't fight the claim. That's super icky. Yeah, it's gross

03:07:52.680 --> 03:07:55.640
Um, I mean even for us like you don't necessarily want to give them

03:07:57.000 --> 03:08:03.720
personal information Iron most and fake copyright claim to get personal info. Yeah. Yeah some article I was reading the other day

03:08:05.560 --> 03:08:10.360
Yeah, it's gross Don't do that Be cool. Yeah, that's junky

03:08:10.680 --> 03:08:18.040
John vellist up from prairie Does your interaction or relationship with taren change after hiring him if taren's no longer working with LMG?

03:08:18.120 --> 03:08:22.200
Where will you find a new ceo? Who will you trust for such a position?

03:08:23.000 --> 03:08:31.960
um No, I don't think that our relationship has changed much we do periodic check-ins where i'm just like hey, how you doing more often

03:08:32.280 --> 03:08:35.400
Sorry, you talk more often. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we talk more

03:08:35.880 --> 03:08:41.080
um But like I wouldn't say that the way we interact changes

03:08:41.640 --> 03:08:47.960
Or has changed. He's still extremely brutally honest with me. I'm still extremely brutally honest with him

03:08:48.760 --> 03:08:56.360
He made an offhand comment Um, I I sent a follow-up email a little while ago being like, yeah, I was kind of cranky when he said that and he sends me this

03:08:57.400 --> 03:09:04.120
Snarky ass response that was like, yeah, I can tell when you're sending emails. I'm just like, yeah, okay, so we're good still

03:09:07.800 --> 03:09:14.760
So, uh, yeah, it seems fine. Um, as for you know, where would I find a new ceo? Who would I trust for such a position?

03:09:14.760 --> 03:09:19.960
I have no idea. I um, I think he has pretty good job security at this point not because everything he does is perfect

03:09:19.960 --> 03:09:25.080
but because Uh, you know, he has the room as far as you know, I'm concerned still

03:09:25.640 --> 03:09:30.200
Um, I I don't agree with everything he does. I mean, I've talked about that a fair bit on the show recently

03:09:30.280 --> 03:09:35.640
But I do support What he does it's that we were talking about it earlier in the show, right?

03:09:36.360 --> 03:09:42.520
Um, I don't remember that not with thought about Terence specifically. Um, but it was like the whole buy-in thing

03:09:42.840 --> 03:09:46.680
Yeah, you don't necessarily have to agree, but we're on the same ship. Yeah. Yeah, um

03:09:48.760 --> 03:09:53.880
I who would I trust? I mean if he resigned, um, I'd probably have to step in

03:09:54.920 --> 03:10:00.920
Until such time as we could find someone else and I have no idea what that process would even look like I have no experience

03:10:01.720 --> 03:10:07.800
Hiring CEOs, um, other than just like oh, yeah, this guy was able to like deal with my bull at once

03:10:07.800 --> 03:10:09.800
He should probably be able to do it again

03:10:10.920 --> 03:10:13.080
That was the process last time. Yeah, I know

03:10:18.440 --> 03:10:26.040
Hey guys at Luke as a 3d artist I look for stretched textures in games to see if the developers put effort into their game

03:10:26.280 --> 03:10:30.760
Does your profession help you in any way judge how good something is in games or otherwise?

03:10:31.240 --> 03:10:34.440
Dude, I have such a hard time enjoying

03:10:35.160 --> 03:10:39.560
certain forms of media now especially youtube

03:10:40.280 --> 03:10:46.680
Because yeah, when I see something that is meant to look like a casual conversation between people

03:10:46.760 --> 03:10:53.800
Oh drives me nuts, dude, but I can tell that it was filmed from four different angles on three different days

03:10:54.120 --> 03:10:56.120
Not gonna lie. I get this with you guys sometimes

03:10:57.240 --> 03:11:03.640
We don't try to hide it, dude Uh, that might be why yeah, we don't we don't try to hide it for a long time there

03:11:03.800 --> 03:11:07.320
I don't even know if I could define the era, but you were making videos

03:11:08.520 --> 03:11:15.240
In a way that I think you didn't want to or something I don't know how to even define it and I could tell and I don't think like

03:11:15.720 --> 03:11:19.800
Almost anyone else could tell but I could tell and it honestly made them unwatchable

03:11:20.600 --> 03:11:25.000
I couldn't watch any of it because I was just like I know for a fact. He doesn't want to do this

03:11:25.800 --> 03:11:28.520
And that just I don't know that threw me off. I don't even remember

03:11:29.160 --> 03:11:32.200
For me, it makes me a little bit more sympathetic to

03:11:34.040 --> 03:11:39.000
Certain software issues and also significantly more critical about other ones

03:11:39.720 --> 03:11:42.040
Because when like, you know, how little work it was. Yeah

03:11:43.080 --> 03:11:51.320
Or I know that it was a decision Right. Yeah, and that'll drive me nuts too. Sure. Or I'll I'll be able to tell, you know

03:11:51.640 --> 03:11:58.920
Like somebody just did felt like not doing it So they convinced someone else on the team or something that it like wasn't possible or whatever and it's just like

03:11:59.480 --> 03:12:04.200
I think part of what ruined stuff for me is the people that I'm surrounded with like brandon lee

03:12:04.360 --> 03:12:08.360
If you used to work here as a camera editor before that mostly camera guy

03:12:08.760 --> 03:12:14.760
um So, you know, we're having like a cinematography discussion, right and um

03:12:15.240 --> 03:12:20.120
Then it kind of shifts into like there's you know, and he's telling me like look like as a cinematographer

03:12:20.120 --> 03:12:23.800
There's certain types of formats. I just can't watch and I was like, well, what do you mean?

03:12:23.800 --> 03:12:27.960
He's like sitcoms. I'm like, what why can't you watch a sitcom? Like who cares? They make funny joke

03:12:28.280 --> 03:12:32.040
Guy walks in room. Everyone laughs, you know, like all the tropes, right? And he's like

03:12:33.240 --> 03:12:36.280
The laugh track actually, you know on that anything with a laugh track

03:12:36.280 --> 03:12:39.400
I can't I can't watch it and then he has me watch this

03:12:40.120 --> 03:12:46.200
This edit of the big bang theory without the laugh track. It's so rough, dude. It's

03:12:47.480 --> 03:12:51.880
And that was that was a show that at least the first few seasons. I thought were I thought were pretty funny

03:12:52.200 --> 03:12:55.320
Um, they it was it was pretty light entertainment for me

03:12:55.400 --> 03:12:58.920
Like it was the kind of thing that I would watch while like bouncing the baby to sleep

03:12:59.000 --> 03:13:04.120
so it wasn't like you know, my my attention was super focused on it, but I enjoyed it and uh

03:13:04.680 --> 03:13:08.200
And after that I just I I couldn't look at it the same

03:13:09.160 --> 03:13:14.200
I I just I couldn't enjoy it at all. You know, they're all standing there silently. Yeah

03:13:15.960 --> 03:13:18.200
Completely so so part of it is just like the

03:13:19.080 --> 03:13:22.360
It's it's not necessarily working in the industry that ruined something for me

03:13:22.360 --> 03:13:28.120
But it's like the the the professionals that I'm surrounded by and sort of their own their influence

03:13:28.520 --> 03:13:34.280
um Yeah, totally ruined. I I don't think I've watched a sitcom since then

03:13:35.320 --> 03:13:41.320
Yeah Yeah I watched an edit of death note with all the inner monologues removed

03:13:42.680 --> 03:13:44.680
That was awful

03:13:46.360 --> 03:13:53.560
Just ridiculous But yeah, there'll there'll be like I I think honestly if anything it makes me appreciate my developers a lot

03:13:54.360 --> 03:13:56.760
Hmm, because I'll look at other sites and services

03:13:58.120 --> 03:14:05.640
Use it and then be like uh And then look up like how many developers does this company have and be like, oh, okay. We're doing pretty good

03:14:06.600 --> 03:14:15.480
Oh Yeah, I don't know all right teams microsoft teams. I always I always give you a pat on the back when luke is feeling bad

03:14:17.160 --> 03:14:22.360
Helps cheer him up a little bit or makes you hate teams more. I don't know which one it is. Why why

03:14:23.080 --> 03:14:26.600
Does it not highlight your box when you are talking in a call?

03:14:27.880 --> 03:14:33.640
Why are you making everyone go is my mic working? You should be able to tell because it should highlight just like it does for everyone else

03:14:34.280 --> 03:14:41.640
That is the worst Feature decision in the world. Why can't I schedule a message to a group chat that I just created?

03:14:41.800 --> 03:14:46.680
Why can't I do that? Why is that a limitation? Why does that possibly exist?

03:14:47.400 --> 03:14:51.080
You could make an argument everything else that has scheduled this was a free app

03:14:51.320 --> 03:14:53.400
You could make an argument that it's an anti spam feature

03:14:55.320 --> 03:15:00.040
But teams is a paid app Teams for the workplace is a paid app

03:15:01.000 --> 03:15:08.600
Nobody is joining an organization To create groups and spam it as I are then that organization has some to figure out

03:15:09.160 --> 03:15:13.720
As I regain control I would like to reiterate that microsoft if you have any interest

03:15:13.800 --> 03:15:19.080
I would be very happy to consult on making teams better. I will do it for free

03:15:20.040 --> 03:15:25.240
I might have an in on that. I'll see what we might not even keep using teams

03:15:25.800 --> 03:15:33.320
um And I even if we stop using teams in the hopes of making it better for all of the rest of the people in the world that

03:15:33.640 --> 03:15:38.600
Have to use your app. Um, I would love to consult for free on making it better

03:15:38.760 --> 03:15:47.240
There are objective and incredibly easy things that you can do that would make it in way better experience for literally everyone

03:15:48.280 --> 03:15:50.280
cool nice

03:15:51.320 --> 03:15:53.960
Nice so many people have to use your software

03:15:55.880 --> 03:16:01.080
For luke imagine you're hired as an ai researcher once you sign an nda

03:16:01.240 --> 03:16:09.400
They show you an incredible human like agi or maybe they're just hazing you. What's the craziest advance you'd believe?

03:16:11.160 --> 03:16:13.400
What's the craziest advance I would believe?

03:16:15.640 --> 03:16:20.840
Like craziest level that they had gotten to that had been hidden from the public and I'm now told is that what they mean?

03:16:20.840 --> 03:16:23.640
Yeah, let's get that. Yeah. Hmm. I think that's exactly

03:16:25.800 --> 03:16:30.840
Uh, I think a advancement on what we currently have I don't I would not believe agi

03:16:30.920 --> 03:16:38.920
I would be I would be Um, you know the first time I ever saw a mineral oil computer. I traced the monitor cable to the monitor because I didn't believe it

03:16:39.640 --> 03:16:43.400
I would be doing stuff like that, you know trying to figure out. What are you? What are you doing?

03:16:43.400 --> 03:16:47.960
Is there is there a person in the box of this mechanical Turk? Um, but

03:16:49.160 --> 03:16:53.560
If it was like a you know the the tasking thing that they have now

03:16:54.360 --> 03:16:58.840
If they had a version of that that was just like very unrestrained didn't have token limits

03:16:59.240 --> 03:17:03.720
Stuff like that was was able to pull on resources way more heavily. I would believe that

03:17:04.040 --> 03:17:10.200
I think the the great I wasn't asked, but I think the the best advance that I believe is

03:17:11.160 --> 03:17:19.400
near real-time latency Because right now that's uh, that's a huge like I think that's a huge impediment to making these things believable

03:17:19.400 --> 03:17:22.520
The tasking is how long everything takes to respond

03:17:24.040 --> 03:17:28.840
Like it makes the It's not okay

03:17:29.160 --> 03:17:31.880
Think back to when we were hosting the WAN Show remotely

03:17:32.840 --> 03:17:41.320
During COVID. Oh, I see Even just the the you know 40 milliseconds of a video call 50 milliseconds of a video call is enough

03:17:41.800 --> 03:17:51.080
That our interaction is not natural Is it fair if it uses some form of like filler or if it reframes partway through in the same way that humans do

03:17:51.160 --> 03:17:57.400
Yeah, I think what if it What if it does stuff like that? That's the best that I could believe right now is if they could nail down the latency

03:17:57.480 --> 03:18:03.240
But it would still like say weird stuff and hallucinate and stuff like I don't think we're I don't think we're close

03:18:03.800 --> 03:18:05.800
To fixing that

03:18:07.800 --> 03:18:13.000
I was wondering why all of the underwear are out of stock and say they're not coming back

03:18:13.160 --> 03:18:17.240
Does this mean you guys are getting out of the underwear business or is it something new is coming?

03:18:17.640 --> 03:18:20.600
Uh, we have issues with our supplier yet again

03:18:22.920 --> 03:18:29.400
At what point do you become the supplier? Oh, we can't I mean we can't we're not a like fabric mill

03:18:30.600 --> 03:18:32.600
No is no isn't an answer

03:18:34.440 --> 03:18:36.440
I bet we could make

03:18:40.040 --> 03:18:46.680
Build it No, don't do that. No, no, we don't we don't it's gonna happen sometimes

03:18:46.680 --> 03:18:51.000
So we just we're having a surprising amount of them at the moment, but like I don't know it's fine

03:18:53.640 --> 03:18:55.640
I

03:19:02.120 --> 03:19:05.320
Tying in from the creator where I stand up and float playing chat here

03:19:09.320 --> 03:19:11.960
No isn't an answer holy moly luke well played

03:19:13.720 --> 03:19:18.520
We're gonna find a solution. It just isn't going to be to become a textile mill. That's all

03:19:18.520 --> 03:19:21.960
And it will take some time

03:19:24.120 --> 03:19:29.800
We are not dependent on our ability to produce and sell underwear, so we'll be fine. We have time

03:19:31.560 --> 03:19:33.800
Okay, just buy shirts and cut them up

03:19:35.240 --> 03:19:41.960
The more the more tall shirts you buy the better it looks so turn those into underwear. Yeah, not a bad solution really bad solution

03:19:42.200 --> 03:19:46.600
Yeah, okay Oh man, we I even know what the name of the company could be

03:19:47.480 --> 03:19:52.120
LTT Textile tips. Yeah, nice

03:19:53.720 --> 03:19:59.000
Nice another domain that starts with lines. I'm just trying to help you out. It's good. Thank you. Yeah, we need to own all of them

03:20:00.920 --> 03:20:06.200
I actually have a problem because I often use shorthand to get to domains. Nice. So like gmail, right?

03:20:06.440 --> 03:20:09.160
I'm not typing gmail just gm enter. Yeah

03:20:09.960 --> 03:20:19.800
I can't do that. No It drives me crazy. Just just set up our set up our shortener our LMG.gg. Just give me just make yourself some like

03:20:21.960 --> 03:20:25.320
Lab store At affiliate links forum

03:20:25.560 --> 03:20:31.080
I mean you your team controls like our dns settings and everything so you could just add some like custom

03:20:31.800 --> 03:20:34.920
Resolving rules and just oh, yeah, we could do that for the whole company

03:20:35.000 --> 03:20:40.680
Yeah, if you just typed it if you just like typed fp into a browser bar, you could I will do that right now

03:20:42.200 --> 03:20:46.440
This just sounds like you're not trying hard enough to solve it. I tried to say no was the answer

03:20:46.520 --> 03:20:50.360
That's my bad. Yep. Yeah way to go. Oops. This is not how you leave luke

03:20:54.040 --> 03:20:59.480
Your team is looking down on you. I got work to do. Hi ldl. How's the bike painting coming?

03:20:59.640 --> 03:21:07.320
I'm interested in doing a custom paint job on my car hood Do you have any tips for someone getting into auto body painting game into the audio body game?

03:21:08.600 --> 03:21:10.600
Car paint

03:21:12.360 --> 03:21:19.080
Don't Unless you have many many hours and many hundreds of dollars to invest in it just stay out

03:21:21.720 --> 03:21:24.520
So close I lost it at the end. I'm sorry

03:21:25.400 --> 03:21:29.560
Um When is the last time you bought your wife flowers Linus?

03:21:29.960 --> 03:21:34.760
Oh, what she always tells me that they're um, not good use of money

03:21:35.640 --> 03:21:41.320
She is the perfect woman Lego flowers. She likes the lego flowers. I think she does like lego flowers. Yeah

03:21:41.800 --> 03:21:45.880
um Last time I bought my wife flowers

03:21:46.840 --> 03:21:53.720
Um, I'm trying to think I I bought her something random. She likes ohenry bars. I got her an ohenry bar a couple weeks ago

03:21:55.640 --> 03:22:03.880
That's what she likes. What did you No, I wasn't smiling because I thought it was like rule number one is actually listen and actually get them what they actually like

03:22:04.040 --> 03:22:06.040
That's rule number one. Yeah

03:22:07.240 --> 03:22:10.120
I'm smiling because it was cute not because it's bad. Yeah, it's adorable

03:22:11.080 --> 03:22:15.480
Linus when you could start driving what safety measures and rules will you implement?

03:22:16.200 --> 03:22:20.520
Android auto carplay only new car with loads of smart safety features or an old clunker

03:22:20.760 --> 03:22:23.800
Does little man get to drive the Porsche? Oh, absolutely not

03:22:24.440 --> 03:22:30.520
Yeah, you got to be kidding me First thing I did when I started driving was I like hit a pillar in a parking lot like there's

03:22:32.440 --> 03:22:39.080
Yeah, there's no way. Um, I've never hit anything yet. No, I think if he has I think if he has a big date then I don't see why not

03:22:40.120 --> 03:22:43.480
But like the flip side of it is gotta prove some responsible driving before then

03:22:43.560 --> 03:22:48.600
Yeah, and the flip side of it is like If she's the kind of girl who's impressed by that

03:22:49.560 --> 03:22:56.040
Is she the kind of girl that um, you want around likes you for you. Yeah, you know, yeah, so

03:22:57.400 --> 03:23:03.880
I don't know you and and like and and it's one of those things It's like do I want to encourage, you know putting on airs. That's not his car

03:23:04.840 --> 03:23:11.880
I Wouldn't tell him not to rent a nice car to impress a girl, but borrowing your dad's car is not like you haven't actually done anything

03:23:12.840 --> 03:23:21.080
Really, you wouldn't I'm actually surprised You wouldn't tell him not to rent a nice car to impress a girl that does not seem like a Linus ism actually um, I

03:23:21.880 --> 03:23:28.200
Okay, I wouldn't not allow it. I guess like it like it's not up to me anyway. Yeah, right like sure

03:23:28.920 --> 03:23:34.360
Um And remember rent a nice car to impress a girl can mean rent a limo for a prom

03:23:35.000 --> 03:23:41.080
That's renting a nice car. Okay. It might impress her like I'm just I'm just saying there's there's context where

03:23:41.880 --> 03:23:45.480
Him actually doing something because remember the thing that's impressive is the effort

03:23:46.120 --> 03:23:52.760
Right and so if you're trying to impress her with your effort, which is the thing that I would hope she would be valuing about it

03:23:53.080 --> 03:23:55.320
Right because we aren't all just materialistic here

03:23:56.200 --> 03:24:01.880
Then you have to actually put in the effort And be like hey dad can I have the keys is not effort

03:24:02.520 --> 03:24:04.680
So I would never say don't make an effort

03:24:05.560 --> 03:24:09.000
Yeah But borrowing my car isn't effort. Yeah

03:24:09.640 --> 03:24:14.440
Working hard and mowing lawns and renting a cool car for a date is effort

03:24:14.760 --> 03:24:17.240
He had to do those things in order to borrow your car

03:24:18.440 --> 03:24:24.040
um But then maybe he could get a cooler car by my car

03:24:26.040 --> 03:24:31.160
No Or maybe yeah, I don't know. I just seems it just seems lame. It seems lame

03:24:32.520 --> 03:24:37.240
I have so many additional questions I want to ask but there's information that should not end up on the stream

03:24:37.320 --> 03:24:41.240
So I'm going to leave it there like how long until this is going to be a thing and

03:24:42.520 --> 03:24:44.840
Uh stuff like that which we shouldn't go into

03:24:45.800 --> 03:24:49.640
Till what's going to be a thing? He's driving

03:24:49.640 --> 03:24:54.920
Oh, I mean a while like I would expect him to get his license right when he is of age

03:24:55.720 --> 03:24:58.520
That's apparently not a thing anymore. Have you heard about that?

03:24:59.560 --> 03:25:03.960
That's interesting. I have some pretty strong feelings about that that might not be popular

03:25:04.600 --> 03:25:10.280
um I I see driving as a fundamental life skill

03:25:10.840 --> 03:25:16.200
um I I see it as being just an important part of being a

03:25:16.760 --> 03:25:22.440
Competent adult your insurance gets cheaper the longer you have your license. I was so scared that we would have

03:25:23.160 --> 03:25:28.760
Differing opinions. Oh, I thought you were gonna take the no driving is not necessary and I would have just left

03:25:31.480 --> 03:25:33.480
All the goodwill

03:25:35.800 --> 03:25:41.000
And there's a lot of places in the world where you might never use the skill or certainly not often

03:25:41.400 --> 03:25:45.480
But just in case you do your insurance is super cheap Look, I don't agree with my mother about everything

03:25:45.800 --> 03:25:49.320
But you know when she was when she was convincing me to learn to drive stick

03:25:49.880 --> 03:25:54.120
Um, and I don't necessarily think that most people need to learn stick anymore

03:25:54.360 --> 03:25:59.160
There were a lot more stick shift cars back in the early 2000s and 2000s than there are today

03:25:59.720 --> 03:26:05.160
But when she was convincing me that I needed to learn to drive stick a manual transmission the shifter

03:26:05.720 --> 03:26:10.440
um Her rationale for it was you don't know where you're going to be

03:26:11.160 --> 03:26:14.120
And what the situation is going to be when there's an emergency

03:26:15.240 --> 03:26:20.680
if The driver is incapacitated for some reason and we need to get to the hospital now

03:26:21.640 --> 03:26:25.800
You need to be able to drive you need to be able to drive any vehicle and you need to be ready for it

03:26:26.120 --> 03:26:30.600
You don't need to be the most practiced operator of the thing, but you damn well need to know how to do it

03:26:31.080 --> 03:26:36.200
And um, I kind of carried that with me. I I agree. I strongly agree

03:26:36.840 --> 03:26:43.160
Um, and I think that even if you will probably never drive you should learn to drive

03:26:44.120 --> 03:26:50.200
Yeah, uh Vertig one said being able to drive isn't the same thing as having a license. I do agree with that

03:26:50.360 --> 03:26:57.880
But I don't think at least here getting a license is not that big of a step and the potential benefits behind it are

03:26:58.600 --> 03:27:02.120
Really big like oh if you do need a car for whatever reason

03:27:02.600 --> 03:27:06.840
Uh, your insurance is way cheaper the ability to upgrade your license in case you need to

03:27:07.480 --> 03:27:10.360
Have an upgraded license for a certain line of work that you might need to do

03:27:10.920 --> 03:27:17.720
It opens up so many work possibilities like keeping yourself limited in that way and making it so that if you do need it

03:27:17.800 --> 03:27:24.520
It's going to be very expensive Just seems really oddly short-sighted for something that is not that big of a barrier

03:27:24.680 --> 03:27:29.080
Are you always going to live in a super walkable city? Yeah, maybe you want to move. I don't know. Yes

03:27:29.320 --> 03:27:32.600
It's the arguments and look at the cost of housing and stuff lately

03:27:32.680 --> 03:27:35.960
Like you're probably going to move at some point and it's one of those things

03:27:35.960 --> 03:27:39.720
We're not not everybody is in a life situation where they're able to

03:27:40.360 --> 03:27:43.720
Yeah, and the barrier might be too high and the barrier might be too high

03:27:43.800 --> 03:27:47.880
They may not have access to a vehicle. They might not have someone to teach them. They might have a physical disability

03:27:47.960 --> 03:27:54.360
I I don't know everyone's life situation is there, but if you have the opportunity and you're just like

03:27:56.360 --> 03:27:58.360
I disagree

03:27:59.800 --> 03:28:07.880
Yeah Yeah Like I knew people that didn't have access to a vehicle in order to take their test and that was a pretty big barrier

03:28:08.360 --> 03:28:11.560
Some of them still got over it by like, you know paying a friend to borrow theirs

03:28:11.640 --> 03:28:14.280
Which is kind of sketchy to be clear. Oh, yeah

03:28:15.240 --> 03:28:20.440
Or or other various options. I think there's also places where you can you can rent a car

03:28:20.680 --> 03:28:28.200
But then renting a car is really expensive Um, and I think it's as far as my understanding goes. It's even more expensive when you're renting it for that reason

03:28:28.760 --> 03:28:32.920
Um, there's like there's lots of different reasons why it might not make sense

03:28:33.000 --> 03:28:36.760
But the dip in people getting their licenses does not match

03:28:37.320 --> 03:28:42.600
Um, those reasons being more legitimate, you know what I mean? Like that it doesn't follow that line. So

03:28:43.400 --> 03:28:50.840
Arbiter K, I don't know if this is true But Arbiter K says Gavin free of slow mo guys fame is in his 30s and does not have a driver's license. That actually blows my mind

03:28:51.400 --> 03:28:55.880
Um, I will say that Gavin who I have met

03:28:59.960 --> 03:29:04.120
Is in a life situation where he doesn't need to drive himself anywhere. So that's something

03:29:04.600 --> 03:29:08.760
Um, you are not I

03:29:09.000 --> 03:29:11.400
Just get it. Just get it. Just get it

03:29:12.760 --> 03:29:16.280
Oh my goodness. That's uh, I don't know if that's true. Anyway, though

03:29:17.320 --> 03:29:21.320
UK licensing is It's a very hard test. Oh, yeah

03:29:22.040 --> 03:29:26.280
We would be put to shame I mean, that's not too surprising

03:29:27.080 --> 03:29:30.760
Uh, hello. Oh, and to be clear. There's lots of cities that I wouldn't drive in

03:29:31.240 --> 03:29:35.800
Even though I do know how to drive like there's there's places. I've been that I'm just like this is terrifying forget it

03:29:36.120 --> 03:29:39.240
Yep So there's that as well

03:29:39.240 --> 03:29:47.240
There's also places where like if you have an international driver's license You're allowed to drive but like the road laws are so different that you just probably shouldn't yeah

03:29:47.240 --> 03:29:54.200
Yeah, I wouldn't even consider driving in like, uh, and a metropolitan city and like india

03:29:54.600 --> 03:29:59.400
Yeah, I wouldn't even begin to consider it not not even the rules of the road

03:29:59.400 --> 03:30:03.560
Just the styles of driving are so different so different. My goodness

03:30:03.800 --> 03:30:12.440
Yeah Hello, LLD. I'm a power sports student who was told to buy a quality ratcheting screwdriver

03:30:13.400 --> 03:30:17.000
power sports Okay

03:30:17.000 --> 03:30:23.000
Yeah Linus, has there been any consideration towards motorcycle riding when designing any products on the store?

03:30:23.160 --> 03:30:26.600
I'd say the only one is the backpack and the only

03:30:27.400 --> 03:30:31.240
Consideration really was that it would fit over like my shoulder pads

03:30:31.800 --> 03:30:37.000
Um on my riding jacket and that uh the carabiner zipper pulls

03:30:37.640 --> 03:30:43.720
were Because a I thought they were kind of cool. I saw them somewhere and I thought they were cool and b because I

03:30:44.440 --> 03:30:47.560
Would ride with my rackets my badminton racket sticking out of the bag

03:30:47.880 --> 03:30:55.000
And so I needed a zipper system that would hold but not come apart. Yeah, um, but hold but not close completely

03:30:56.760 --> 03:31:06.840
Yeah It's about it. Good evening Daniel Lucas and Sebastian. I'm looking to get into swimming as my exercise routine

03:31:08.360 --> 03:31:14.120
Oh, it is now. Sorry keep going curious as to how that is going for you and any tick on getting started

03:31:14.680 --> 03:31:20.440
Um, it was great this summer like I actually like got boobs and my cardio is way better

03:31:20.840 --> 03:31:25.560
Um, I've switched over to beat saber now that the weather sucks and I am looking forward to swimming again

03:31:26.360 --> 03:31:31.720
um next year The only tip I can give you is do it you coward

03:31:32.200 --> 03:31:37.320
Uh, it's it's so hard to get motivated to get to the pool even when it's in my backyard

03:31:37.400 --> 03:31:43.640
It's still hard to like go get changed and like get in the water. But once you get going it's um

03:31:45.080 --> 03:31:48.280
It's good the relatively long drive to my gym sucks

03:31:48.760 --> 03:31:54.600
um, but the gym that's closer to my house is Way over populated to the point where if I wanted to do the same

03:31:55.000 --> 03:31:57.800
Workout that I do at the gym that I go to it would take

03:31:58.280 --> 03:32:02.280
Uh, sometimes up to four times as long to the point where in a three hour period

03:32:02.360 --> 03:32:06.840
I might not be able to get enough time on each one of the machines to even finish my

03:32:07.320 --> 03:32:11.000
Workout that I can do in an hour at the other gym. So that's frustrating. It's not even worth it. I have to drive

03:32:11.400 --> 03:32:15.960
um The other thing I would say is if you don't want to pull a me and get an ear infection

03:32:16.120 --> 03:32:19.080
If you're going to be swimming all the time maybe get your plugs or something

03:32:20.360 --> 03:32:26.920
They're pretty cheap I bought some like Nike ones and they were like nine dollars or something ten dollars twelve dollars somewhere around there

03:32:28.840 --> 03:32:33.320
Last one I've got for you today. Hi DLL. What features are in the works for Floatplane?

03:32:33.400 --> 03:32:39.320
And are there any features that you would like to implement? What kinds of things does the team do for the other companies?

03:32:40.200 --> 03:32:42.200
That's a lot of questions. Whoa

03:32:43.560 --> 03:32:48.440
Could you give us a product roadmap and uh, also a business proposal for

03:32:49.000 --> 03:32:54.840
the Quarter cute a quarterly business review for what the what's your q5 looking like?

03:32:56.200 --> 03:32:58.760
Oh, yeah, he honestly each one of those I could make

03:33:00.440 --> 03:33:05.000
A whole show about um, wow the roadmap. I'm not giving you

03:33:05.960 --> 03:33:14.840
because I have learned my lesson on that and if we make any change of decision or do anything whatsoever to alter it

03:33:15.000 --> 03:33:19.480
You'll say you won't be mad People will go freaking nuclear

03:33:19.960 --> 03:33:23.880
You'll go ape. We're working on stuff. Yeah, and it's good. Yep

03:33:24.200 --> 03:33:31.000
And people are going to be happy and it is what it is We don't have like, you know the the agility or the speed that some

03:33:31.720 --> 03:33:37.240
Notably larger teams have we don't have feature parody with things like youtube and twitch and stuff like that

03:33:37.640 --> 03:33:41.480
And that just is what it is. We don't have the the developer base

03:33:42.040 --> 03:33:45.240
We don't have the armies of developers to do stuff like that and that's okay

03:33:45.480 --> 03:33:49.800
We still have cool things. Uh, I think full plane is is

03:33:50.520 --> 03:33:55.240
Good and we're gonna keep doing good stuff and it does feel like over time

03:33:55.320 --> 03:33:59.640
We are trending to getting closer to them, which I find interesting

03:34:00.120 --> 03:34:04.360
Um and cool. So it's getting it's getting better over time, which is good. So I'll say that

03:34:04.920 --> 03:34:07.240
In regards to other things that the team does

03:34:07.960 --> 03:34:13.080
That has slowly shifted into more dedicated positions than it originally was so you have people like

03:34:13.720 --> 03:34:20.440
Conrad doing things for LTT Store technically the Floatplane team encompasses the Labs web team

03:34:20.680 --> 03:34:23.800
So the Labs website is technically on the Floatplane team. Um

03:34:24.600 --> 03:34:30.360
Oh, did we ever talk about the changes to I don't even think you've seen Labs on the uh on the show

03:34:30.680 --> 03:34:35.640
I don't even think you've seen them all Them all have you seen them all? When's the last time you used the site?

03:34:36.600 --> 03:34:44.040
Uh, when I saw us tweet about it Tweet about what about the new layout and stuff? Oh, have you seen the page layout though? Not this?

03:34:44.200 --> 03:34:47.320
Have you seen the layout changes to the actual product pages? Have you seen this?

03:34:47.400 --> 03:34:52.520
Yeah, where it like animates the hardware notes thing on the left hand side and stuff. Yeah, see when it loads the next thing

03:34:52.520 --> 03:34:55.480
He's like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I came on when when we tweeted about it

03:34:55.640 --> 03:34:59.320
I found out about it in a tweet, which is hilarious. I didn't even know we tweeted about it. Oh, yeah

03:34:59.720 --> 03:35:06.520
Okay, yeah They were like, hey come check out the uh, I think it's awesome. I think it looks great. I think it's really awesome looks super pro

03:35:07.160 --> 03:35:13.560
Yeah, um I will I will yet again not publicly say the the roadmap

03:35:13.640 --> 03:35:20.360
But there is uh something that we're looking into working on right now Which I think people will like a lot and it's in the spirit of some of the redesigns

03:35:20.360 --> 03:35:25.960
We've done to the to the front page and the product pages and honestly, I I think it's really sharp

03:35:26.600 --> 03:35:31.800
Um, I think some of the the work that's been done there has been really really good. Oops. I clicked the wrong link

03:35:32.760 --> 03:35:39.640
Are we fans of fanless power supplies? This is actually pretty cool. Um, they looked at articles. We've been doing are awesome

03:35:39.880 --> 03:35:44.040
thermals and efficiency um

03:35:44.520 --> 03:35:49.000
The answer unless you're a liar or stupid is almost always going to be it depends

03:35:50.680 --> 03:35:54.120
Then you got to read the rest of the you got to read the rest of the thing. Yeah

03:35:54.840 --> 03:35:59.160
Yeah, I really like the the aesthetic direction that we're taking with the lab site right now

03:35:59.240 --> 03:36:03.160
I think the changes that were done to the sections of the product pages

03:36:03.560 --> 03:36:08.200
Um, even it might not seem that important, but even like like this

03:36:08.280 --> 03:36:11.480
I'm gonna bring up my so where it says hardware notes here

03:36:12.360 --> 03:36:16.920
It's gonna seem really small But just when you scroll down having it do that

03:36:17.560 --> 03:36:21.560
Makes the page feel a lot more dynamic in my opinion. Yeah

03:36:21.960 --> 03:36:26.440
So as you're going through we used to have all the sections automatically minimize. They don't do that anymore

03:36:27.160 --> 03:36:32.840
Which I think is better It has that little animation thing. So the page kind of feels alive

03:36:33.240 --> 03:36:37.400
I really really like Dan's whole concept here by having other Dan

03:36:38.040 --> 03:36:44.280
Yes, uh, by by having all of the like picture and stat information on the right and the right up stuff on the left

03:36:44.600 --> 03:36:49.720
So it feels like and the right up stays with you as you're scrolling through the stat information

03:36:49.720 --> 03:36:53.000
So it's just I don't know the flow just feels really good. Um

03:36:53.240 --> 03:36:57.960
I'm I really like how the site feels right now. Um

03:37:00.280 --> 03:37:03.320
I think it's I think it's great. There's there's still work to be done

03:37:03.480 --> 03:37:11.480
We need to work on stuff like the comparison bin stuff like that. Um, but yeah, it's really it's really coming into its own in my opinion

03:37:14.120 --> 03:37:16.600
So you're still interim head of Labs, right?

03:37:17.560 --> 03:37:23.800
Sure, are you applying for the job or like am I applying for the job? I don't know. I'm not applying for the I don't audition

03:37:23.800 --> 03:37:25.800
I just work here

03:37:27.720 --> 03:37:33.160
You take me you don't brother. We'll see you again next week same bad time same bad channel. Bye

03:37:41.800 --> 03:37:49.000

03:37:56.360 --> 03:37:58.360
Oh, yeah
