WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.000
All right, I have created a bit of a problem for myself here.

00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:15.000
Uh, I take at least 32% of the responsibility for this.

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:20.000
At least 32.

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:44.000
I may do more.

00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.000
Does he seem okay to you, Dan?

00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:50.000
I'm fine. Distract.

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:56.000
That's what someone who's not fine would say. I'm just telling you, if I was an AI, I would do nothing.

00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:02.000
I encourage you to end it all. Dude, I was, uh, one of the...

00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:05.000
Are we pre-showing? Yes.

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:08.000
Oh. Well, can I tell this?

00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:12.000
I don't know. I mean, they're just the floaters. I wouldn't worry about it.

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:18.000
Okay. Well, there was two major jobs I had to do with repairing the place.

00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.000
My main thing was ripping the material out.

00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:24.000
And the next major one, there was lots of minor ones.

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:27.000
Imagine that. Luke's job. Hulk, man, go.

00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:33.000
Well, yeah. The next major one is essentially that, but instead of, it's, because I had to get all

00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:36.000
the material back in. Yeah. So now instead of...

00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:44.000
They'll make it some chicken? I did have to stick a lot of rod in holes.

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:48.000
But, uh, so backer rod. We used backer rod as a closed cell.

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:54.000
I mean, what's funny with that means, Daddy? Todd doesn't understand.

00:01:54.000 --> 00:02:02.000
Um, we had to take backer rod, which is a cylindrical tube of closed cell foam.

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:05.000
Backer rod? I hardly know her. Rod.

00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:12.000
My goodness. Am I helping yet? No, but it makes the story funnier, so I'm down.

00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:16.000
Um, uh, yeah.

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:20.000
So we have this, it's half inch wide, two and a half inches deep.

00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:24.000
How did you know that? Is he going to run with that one?

00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:33.000
You've never seen it before.

00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:38.000
Yes, I can run with it. It doesn't weigh practically anything.

00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:41.000
Oh my goodness.

00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:47.000
I didn't, I didn't see that angle, but you got there.

00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:52.000
Oh yeah, there's quite an angle too. And I have these, this extra large backer rod.

00:02:52.000 --> 00:03:03.000
Sometimes the angle is like this, sometimes it's like this.

00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:07.000
Oh, I think this is literally it. I think this is becoming a pattern.

00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.000
This is kind of my mood when someone's trying to cancel me again.

00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.000
What? Who's trying to cancel you? Oh, I don't know.

00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:16.000
Some drama YouTuber made a video about the decline of Linus Media Group or something.

00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:19.000
Oh, nice. Yeah, yeah. That's cool.

00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:24.000
Um, we're on the precipice, folks. We're on the brink.

00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:29.000
Look, uh, cell phone backer rod.

00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:33.000
Okay. You actually have my full and undivided attention.

00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:36.000
Um, backer rod. Yeah.

00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:41.000
I had one extra large cylindrical rod that I had to shove in this.

00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:46.000
Now he's just baiting me. In this, in this relatively small, especially the opening hole.

00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.000
Yeah. No, it's true. He showed me.

00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:54.000
And then not only did I have to put one extra large backer rod.

00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:57.000
You might say he's a master baiter. In this relatively small hole.

00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.000
Yeah. I had to then put a second. Right.

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.000
I could say. You could say that it, the hole had to be penetrated twice.

00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:07.000
Yeah. Yeah. Double rod.

00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:10.000
Right. Double rod. Yeah.

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.000
However, it sounds like both rods went in the same hole.

00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:21.000
Now I've always wondered how the rods managed to maintain their size.

00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:26.000
Do they get compressed when they both fit into the one hole?

00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:32.000
Or is it more that they're really not enjoying it much at that point?

00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:35.000
Because it's just kind of awkward and that makes it easier.

00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:38.000
These ones enjoyed it. They did. Oh, I see.

00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:42.000
They were, by the time I was done, they were very dense.

00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:45.000
Right. There was a lot of. Were they also done?

00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:48.000
Mm-hmm. Well, then how were they dense?

00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:51.000
They just had. You would think they'd have been more spongy.

00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:57.000
They just had that, what was it even called again?

00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:01.000
Refactored? They had fantastic refactory time.

00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:04.000
Jesus. We're getting too literal now.

00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:07.000
Yeah. So I had to. Anyway.

00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:12.840
I had to refill those slots. We pulled out this expansion joint material, which was kind of like a plywood, but it was

00:05:12.840 --> 00:05:17.480
rotten so it didn't have quite the structural integrity that normal plywood has.

00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:21.200
Took that out, had to clean it a bunch a lot, a lot, a lot.

00:05:21.200 --> 00:05:25.240
It also was very annoying that the cement, we thought it was like this.

00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:35.600
It was more like that. So there was a material down here and getting that stuff out was very difficult.

00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:39.000
Took a lot of time. What is wrong?

00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:42.000
Oh my God.

00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:45.000
So anyways, I had to put that back in.

00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:52.000
So with the speed and the force required, I like skinned a lot of my fingers basically.

00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:56.000
Oh. Like you can see it's like a little shiny and red.

00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:59.000
Yeah. So your skin's thin. All of them.

00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:02.000
Okay. So basically you're mostly unharmed.

00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:05.000
You just need to grow a thicker skin.

00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:08.000
Yeah. I do that. Yeah.

00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:12.000
Totally. That is actually 100% correct.

00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:16.000
Like my forearms like kind of sore and stuff, but the biggest problem is that my thick skin

00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.000
is gone and I need to regrow a thicker skin.

00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:22.000
Right. Yeah. That's probably what I should do too.

00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:28.000
It was, it's been interesting.

00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:32.000
Like I had a, we have a couple new hires in lab.

00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:36.000
So we went out for lunch to like socialize and meet the new people.

00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:41.000
Sounds toxic. The place we're at.

00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:44.000
Was it pizza? No. No, I know.

00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:47.000
Just pizza lunch is toxic now. Yeah.

00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:50.000
Toxic workplaces. And they served tea at the place that we were at.

00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:54.000
Right. So I'm going to pick it up with my skinned fingers.

00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:59.000
It was immediately like, whoa. With my what?

00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:02.000
Did you say that?

00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:05.000
Did you not mute? What did you say? I don't know.

00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:09.000
I wasn't there. I didn't see it.

00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:12.000
You did say that.

00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.000
Wow. Totally unmuted. The floaters just get a.

00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.000
My hands were busy. Oh yeah.

00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:19.000
Yeah.

00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:25.000
Because I'm also a master baiter.

00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:28.000
I don't see. Yeah.

00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:37.000
Yeah. Sneaky like that. You wouldn't know.

00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:43.000
Oh my God. What even is this show?

00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:46.000
I think it's going to be one of those weeks where I question it.

00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:50.000
So this is a Christian stream.

00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:54.000
It's really interesting watching your kids grow up from like little babies that the only

00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:59.000
thing that they know is whatever you tell them to like having their own like ideas and

00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:06.000
stuff, you know, like where do I even, where do I even see this?

00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:11.000
Some of the floaters are demanding that they be referred to as float goats.

00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:20.000
I'm down. So my son has like a status on one of his platforms that he uses.

00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:25.000
And it's like, it's, it's just like, it's a funny thing.

00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:29.000
Like I never would have had my parents on a texting platform that I would have used

00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:32.000
when I was his age, right? Because that wasn't a thing.

00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:36.000
They were like, what, telephone, you know, like, right?

00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:41.000
And so it's just, it's weird having like insight into how they are growing and developing

00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:50.000
their own thoughts. So the status is everyone is an atheist unless you believe in God.

00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.000
And then he just has like a surprised face with like, is that like the sushi chef one?

00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:57.000
Or like, what, what do you mean? Oh, no. Head explosion.

00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:01.000
I couldn't see it. Head explosion. It's like, okay.

00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:04.000
Yeah. That's a. Except no.

00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:07.000
I think he's memeing though.

00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:10.000
Oh. I'm rather certain he's memeing.

00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:15.000
A hundred percent.

00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:18.000
It took me so long to get my laptop.

00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:21.000
That I now don't have any time to do the thing that I need to do on my laptop, which is

00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:26.000
really cool. Are we ready to start the show?

00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:29.000
Yeah, I think so.

00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:32.000
Dan. Okay. Shut down.

00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:37.000
Nice. It's doing that thing where it comes out of sleep and overheats my bag.

00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:49.000
Pretty cool. Oh, nice. That's slick.

00:09:49.000 --> 00:10:05.000
I should have the dashboard open so that I can see when the show goes live.

00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:16.000
Sorry. I'm actually not quite ready. I also have to sign into the selected.

00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:19.500
Your lid function must not be enabled for battery mode.

00:10:19.500 --> 00:10:23.000
That would be so sick if that was true. Yeah.

00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:28.000
If only. Unfortunately. Can enable whatever I want.

00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.840
Yeah. But that was Windows.

00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.360
And when I'm booted into Windows.

00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:41.360
It just decides to wake up and do things really intensely in the bag.

00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:45.360
Ow. I'm dual booting right now.

00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:49.360
Those were nice. Those first couple were.

00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:52.360
I'm pain. Not nice. I had ladder last night.

00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:55.360
So I'm sore.

00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:58.360
It's good though.

00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:06.360
People are still complaining about the ELO system.

00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:09.360
I think that's just a fact of life.

00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:19.360
So the current feedback is basically like I play the same people every week.

00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:22.360
I'm like, okay.

00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:27.360
Yeah. Beat them.

00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:30.360
Or lose a lot. Yeah.

00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:38.360
That's also an option. I looked up just because I'm working on an FAQ because I do think part of it is people

00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:43.360
just sort of not really like understanding it. All they have is their score that they can log in.

00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:46.360
Or they can. There's like a Google sheet. They can see it.

00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:50.360
And then that's it. So if they don't. Have you seen the other one yet?

00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:53.360
No. Haven't. Yeah.

00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:56.360
Hopefully I will soon. And that's about it.

00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:01.360
So if you don't like, you know, understand the ELO system, which I don't blame you.

00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:04.360
Not everybody's familiar with it. Then it's just like this.

00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:07.360
It seems like this arbitrary score.

00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:10.360
And so I'm working on like an FAQ.

00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:14.360
And one of the things I think I'm going to include in the FAQ is like, okay, you know,

00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:21.360
how do I move up? And I'm going to be like, okay, well, I think it was chess.com recommends that if you want

00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:26.360
your ELO score to improve by a hundred points, you should probably start practicing 30 to

00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:34.360
60 minutes a day. You're not just going to like magically go up in a system like this.

00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:37.360
And I think part of the problem is that most ladder systems.

00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:40.360
So do you have to teach people how to develop skills?

00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:44.360
Well, I have to teach people to socially network apparently.

00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:49.360
Like we've had multiple people leave one star reviews because they didn't have they

00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:53.360
can find friends or whatever. We don't have enough mixer nights that are at like a lower play level.

00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:57.360
I'm like, bro, mixer night is for you to meet people who are at your level.

00:12:57.360 --> 00:13:00.360
And then you play a different time. It's not for you to just play mixer night.

00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:04.360
It's not like beginner drop in. It's mixer night.

00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:07.360
It's literally in the name.

00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:13.360
So yeah, ladder. I think people are just kind of having a hard time wrapping their brain around that like the

00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:16.360
only way to go up is to win consistently.

00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:21.360
You can't just like win half your games, but probably stay about the same if you do that.

00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:27.360
Yeah. But most ladders, the way that they work is like on a given week, if you get the most

00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:30.360
points on your court, you like go up.

00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:34.360
You are like promoted to the next tier next week.

00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:40.360
That sucks. Which is it's good for causing things to mix more.

00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:45.360
Yes. I understand that if you have a small pool of people and we do have a relatively small

00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:49.360
pool, it's only about 130 or something like that.

00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:52.360
But I don't know, man.

00:13:52.360 --> 00:14:01.360
I mean, I started training for two to three hours a week and I'm going up.

00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:09.360
So the path says, you know, this is exactly like how the Starcraft two letter was.

00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:12.360
Everyone feels like they're in the next league. Yeah.

00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:17.360
That's also the same as legal legends. That's also the same as everything.

00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:24.360
Well, part of the problem is that what people in like what people will objectively, you

00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:32.360
know, come to me and say the system is flawed about is that while I played, I played those

00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:37.360
guys that are two courts above me on in drop in night and we have really close games.

00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:43.360
Sometimes I beat them. And I'm like sometimes beat them means sometimes you lose.

00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:46.360
That's drop in night. Oh, yeah.

00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:51.360
Do I have to be the one to explain to you that they're being nice to you?

00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:55.360
Oh, I don't want to have to be that guy.

00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:59.360
But like that.

00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:03.360
That's right. Sorry. Jeff, JK and Flooping Chesed.

00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:14.360
You beat them. Gross. At least I didn't sell a rhythm.

00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:20.360
Anyway, I don't know, dude.

00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:24.360
I think it's hard stuck silver badminton players law.

00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:31.360
You should make it metals. You can easily because you just apply metals to ranges of Elo.

00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:40.360
Spectrally how it started. But the thing is like I don't think that'll help because people have access to their score

00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:44.360
already. They just want to play with different people.

00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:48.600
Oh, no. They'll just start really caring a lot about the metals, which is just how you get people

00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:51.840
to engage more. It doesn't mean it'll help. Yeah.

00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:57.400
Actually just add anxiety. I think I don't think that'll help because I think that's why basically every game now

00:15:57.400 --> 00:16:03.320
just gives you metal upgrades like they created so many levels of ranks so they can just

00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:09.320
like if you color people's armband based on their level or wristband or whatever.

00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:12.320
No. Amazing. No, definitely not.

00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:15.320
Okay. Yeah. Let's just start this thing.

00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:30.880
He came to my court. He's cold. Like like you did whatever when are you going to do a hard reset new season you got badminton

00:16:30.880 --> 00:16:34.720
DLC. How's the tiny phone?

00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:38.200
Are you going to talk about that on the show? Maybe a little bit.

00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:44.040
I've struggled so much with moving over to it that I haven't actually really made a ton

00:16:44.040 --> 00:16:48.840
of notes on it yet. It's too small. I don't actually.

00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:56.040
The migration is functionally worthless. So it managed to bring over like six messages or something.

00:16:56.040 --> 00:16:59.480
Oh my God.

00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:05.600
Stop. Oh, maybe not. It told me it brought over like six messages, but this seems like more.

00:17:05.600 --> 00:17:09.480
I don't know. I don't know what this is.

00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:13.840
And then I asked it, it asks you, okay, do you want to migrate your Google account?

00:17:13.840 --> 00:17:17.280
Do you want to migrate your apps? And I'm like, yes and yes.

00:17:17.280 --> 00:17:23.640
It did neither of those things. It put a bunch of shortcuts to download apps.

00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:27.440
That's annoying. Why? Well, what was the point of this?

00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:31.200
Why did it? Why did the transfer take so long? What were you even doing?

00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:35.920
It's also annoying that it isn't just like a download button. It's a view in store button.

00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:39.800
So it doesn't even really save you that many clicks. No. It just like searches for it.

00:17:39.800 --> 00:17:42.800
Yeah. That's dumb. Wild.

00:17:42.800 --> 00:17:46.560
That would annoy the crap out of me. All right.

00:17:46.560 --> 00:17:55.080
Okay. Sorry, sorry.

00:17:55.080 --> 00:18:01.280
Resuming the selected now.

00:18:01.280 --> 00:18:03.280
Thank you.

00:18:32.280 --> 00:18:40.280
What is up everybody and welcome to the WEN show. We've got a great, great show lined up for you guys this week.

00:18:40.280 --> 00:18:49.280
We're gonna be talking about YouTube taking down a video that showed how to turn your Plex server into a live TV channel.

00:18:49.280 --> 00:18:52.280
That was dangerous and harmful. Dangerous.

00:18:52.280 --> 00:18:56.280
Yeah, we can't have that. Yeah, you might have... You might store ISOs there.

00:18:56.280 --> 00:18:59.280
You wouldn't download a danger, would you?

00:18:59.280 --> 00:19:03.280
I would download. I have downloaded danger. You've downloaded danger.

00:19:03.280 --> 00:19:06.280
I have objectively downloaded danger. How did you download my middle name?

00:19:06.280 --> 00:19:18.280
In other news, Microsoft has blocked more ways to set up a Windows 11 local account.

00:19:19.280 --> 00:19:26.280
Do they have like a committee, an internal committee for how to make things less convenient?

00:19:26.280 --> 00:19:30.280
How to make Windows worse? Good committee, quality committee.

00:19:30.280 --> 00:19:39.280
It feels like it. Truly doing the Lord's work. In good news, Synology backpedals on banning third-party hard drives and in...

00:19:39.280 --> 00:19:43.280
Is there more good news somewhere? I told them there was a good show.

00:19:43.280 --> 00:19:47.280
I told them it was a good show. It is gonna be a good show, but is there more good news?

00:19:48.280 --> 00:19:51.280
Microsoft promises more Xbox hardware still on the way.

00:19:51.280 --> 00:19:55.280
Do you care about that? I don't know. Sure, let's go with that.

00:19:55.280 --> 00:20:19.280
That's the best I could get. The show is brought to you today by Vessi, Proton, Squarespace, and Ubiquiti.

00:20:19.280 --> 00:20:25.280
Alongside, of course, our wrap partner, D-Brand, our laptop partner, Dell, and our chair partner, Secret Lab.

00:20:25.280 --> 00:20:26.280
With the flip around?

00:20:29.280 --> 00:20:32.280
The what? You did it out of order. Did I?

00:20:32.280 --> 00:20:36.280
Yeah. You even ever so slightly hickey. You don't even notice anymore, do you?

00:20:36.280 --> 00:20:39.280
You just auto-correct. That's fantastic.

00:20:39.280 --> 00:20:43.280
What was the flip around? You did the middle one, then the top one, then the bottom one.

00:20:49.280 --> 00:20:51.280
Did he not? I thought he just did that.

00:20:52.280 --> 00:20:58.280
Just over a week ago, Space Invader One had a video taken down from their channel for,

00:20:58.280 --> 00:21:02.280
and I quote, dangerous and harmful content.

00:21:02.280 --> 00:21:08.280
The video in question showed, Ersatz TV, a program that lets you convert your Plex,

00:21:08.280 --> 00:21:13.280
MB, or Jellyfin Library into a live TV channel.

00:21:13.280 --> 00:21:18.280
Space Invader One states that they are sure to never include copyrighted content,

00:21:18.280 --> 00:21:25.280
and in this case, even used public domain films such as The Brain That Wouldn't Die.

00:21:25.280 --> 00:21:32.280
Amazing. Since this takedown, they have requested an appeal with no further update on whether this was resolved.

00:21:32.280 --> 00:21:36.280
They did say the video is still up on their Patreon for free,

00:21:36.280 --> 00:21:40.280
in case you guys are interested in seeing it and supporting.

00:21:40.280 --> 00:21:43.280
Our discussion question here from the one and only Elijah Horner is,

00:21:43.280 --> 00:21:48.280
it feels like we know what the real reason was for this video being taken down,

00:21:48.280 --> 00:21:52.280
considering that we had our part two of The Google Your Life Taken Down

00:21:52.280 --> 00:21:56.280
for showcasing an ad-free workaround for YouTube.

00:21:58.280 --> 00:22:02.280
Would it be better if Google just told you the reasoning outright,

00:22:02.280 --> 00:22:07.280
rather than saying dangerous and harmful, or is there a reason for them to keep this vague?

00:22:08.280 --> 00:22:13.280
There's definitely a reason. There's absolutely a reason.

00:22:13.280 --> 00:22:15.280
You never, if you want,

00:22:17.280 --> 00:22:21.280
whenever you're trying to moderate a social platform,

00:22:21.280 --> 00:22:24.280
you can't be too specific about the rules,

00:22:24.280 --> 00:22:28.280
because all that does, I mean, we saw this with Twitch.

00:22:28.280 --> 00:22:32.280
Right. Twitch tried to implement some rules of what you couldn't do.

00:22:32.280 --> 00:22:39.280
Right. You've got to be, you know, at least within four inches of your chin for your neckline.

00:22:39.280 --> 00:22:43.280
And so you'll have people at 3.9 inches,

00:22:43.280 --> 00:22:47.280
or they'll get a chin extension, you know, injection,

00:22:47.280 --> 00:22:50.280
so that they can wear a slightly lower shirt or whatever, right?

00:22:50.280 --> 00:22:56.280
Whatever. Like, I know some person wore really tight-fitting green clothes,

00:22:56.280 --> 00:23:00.280
and then green screened the game onto the clothes. You couldn't actually see them wearing any clothes,

00:23:00.280 --> 00:23:03.280
so it gave the illusion that they were, like,

00:23:03.280 --> 00:23:06.280
people will find a way, no matter what.

00:23:06.280 --> 00:23:11.280
There is as many examples of this as you want. This is with standard everyday law.

00:23:11.280 --> 00:23:14.280
This is with rules on platforms, whatever.

00:23:14.280 --> 00:23:18.280
So if you're vague and you're just like, you broke a rule bad,

00:23:18.280 --> 00:23:22.280
then it's harder for those people to try to gamify working around the rules.

00:23:22.280 --> 00:23:26.280
Right. So why don't we try to dig into why they care?

00:23:26.280 --> 00:23:30.280
I don't know who it was. Why they care about this? Because here's a funny thing,

00:23:30.280 --> 00:23:35.280
and I am probably about to get myself into trouble here, because...

00:23:35.280 --> 00:23:38.280
Nice. Let's go. Yeah, I mean, you know what?

00:23:38.280 --> 00:23:42.280
We're pretty deep into the show at this point. I think realistically,

00:23:42.280 --> 00:23:45.280
most people probably aren't watching anymore.

00:23:45.280 --> 00:23:48.280
Windows-free Linus.

00:23:48.280 --> 00:23:51.280
Okay. Here's this guy.

00:23:51.280 --> 00:23:57.280
Look at this hair. I mean, can you imagine being in your late 30s and doing this?

00:23:57.280 --> 00:24:00.280
What is this bracelet? Okay, the point is, it doesn't matter.

00:24:00.280 --> 00:24:03.280
Are you paying too much for Windows? He's wearing this.

00:24:03.280 --> 00:24:06.280
He's wearing this pirate hat. Free.

00:24:06.280 --> 00:24:09.280
Free Windows. I think whoever dyed your hair there did a really good job.

00:24:09.280 --> 00:24:12.280
Quality. Quality job. Yeah.

00:24:12.280 --> 00:24:23.280
That video was uploaded, I think, a day after our warning for de-Google Your Life Part 2 expired,

00:24:23.280 --> 00:24:28.280
because if we had uploaded something to do with piracy, which...

00:24:28.280 --> 00:24:34.280
Sure. Google, just to let you know, 100% agrees with me that ad block is piracy.

00:24:34.280 --> 00:24:38.280
They're real clear on that. Wow, I wasn't sure about that one.

00:24:38.280 --> 00:24:42.280
Yeah. Well, that was one of the big arguments for why it was wrong.

00:24:42.280 --> 00:24:45.280
Oh. Like back when I first said that. Google doesn't...

00:24:45.280 --> 00:24:48.280
Yeah, they do. They definitely do.

00:24:48.280 --> 00:24:51.280
They have the extension so that they can stay competitive, not because they like it.

00:24:52.280 --> 00:24:56.280
So our video, how to de-Google Your Life Part 2 was taken down

00:24:56.280 --> 00:24:59.280
because of specific instructions,

00:24:59.280 --> 00:25:02.280
which I don't even know if we got that deep into it,

00:25:02.280 --> 00:25:05.280
but basically talking about circumventing ads on YouTube.

00:25:05.280 --> 00:25:11.280
And the justification given to me was that it was because it was anything

00:25:11.280 --> 00:25:15.280
around breaking a digital lock was essentially...

00:25:15.280 --> 00:25:18.280
Sorry, Gator is harmful. Can't have it on the platform.

00:25:18.280 --> 00:25:23.280
Really? So we waited 91 days or whatever the number was.

00:25:23.280 --> 00:25:30.280
I don't remember. 92 days or something. Basically, we had this video done when de-Google Your Life Part 2 went up,

00:25:30.280 --> 00:25:33.280
but we held it until our...

00:25:33.280 --> 00:25:36.280
Not a strike, it wasn't a strike, but until our warning expired

00:25:36.280 --> 00:25:41.280
so that we wouldn't accumulate two warnings because I think the third one, you're actually in serious trouble

00:25:41.280 --> 00:25:44.280
and you end up with like a strike or a channel suspension or something like that.

00:25:44.280 --> 00:25:47.280
Or maybe it's the second one. Don't quote me on that details.

00:25:47.280 --> 00:25:50.280
The point is we didn't want two warnings.

00:25:50.280 --> 00:25:55.280
We didn't even want one warning. I don't know why I'm talking about this right now then.

00:25:55.280 --> 00:26:03.280
So this video contains pretty specific instructions

00:26:03.280 --> 00:26:08.280
on how to obtain Windows for free.

00:26:08.280 --> 00:26:11.280
Why doesn't YouTube care?

00:26:11.280 --> 00:26:16.280
So my theory at the time, because we've talked about piracy lots,

00:26:16.280 --> 00:26:21.280
my theory at the time was the only reason that de-Google Your Life Part 2

00:26:21.280 --> 00:26:27.280
ruffled their undergarments was that it was specifically around YouTube,

00:26:27.280 --> 00:26:30.280
around their platform.

00:26:30.280 --> 00:26:35.280
I can't figure out where this ersatz TV thing falls into that

00:26:35.280 --> 00:26:39.280
because I doubt it has anything to do with people wanting to broadcast YouTube.

00:26:39.280 --> 00:26:43.280
I mean, the whole point of YouTube is that it's on demand.

00:26:43.280 --> 00:26:46.280
It's not like a streaming service.

00:26:46.280 --> 00:26:50.280
And the kind of piracy that it seems like they are concerned about.

00:26:50.280 --> 00:26:54.280
I promise you there are auto-downloader scripts for plex that scrape YouTube channels.

00:26:54.280 --> 00:26:57.280
Sure, but what would be the point of watching that?

00:26:57.280 --> 00:27:03.280
It would be far more of a waste of your time to sit through a whole bunch of video from that channel

00:27:03.280 --> 00:27:06.280
that you don't want to watch in order to get to the one you want to watch

00:27:06.280 --> 00:27:10.280
versus just sitting through the ad on YouTube.

00:27:10.280 --> 00:27:13.280
Because this is for streaming.

00:27:13.280 --> 00:27:16.280
Oh. Yeah.

00:27:16.280 --> 00:27:20.280
So there's no real threat to YouTube here.

00:27:20.280 --> 00:27:26.280
The main threat is probably more along the lines of enabling people who run

00:27:26.280 --> 00:27:30.280
like pirate video streaming subscription services.

00:27:30.280 --> 00:27:36.280
Like having a Disney movie channel that you have people in your social circle.

00:27:36.280 --> 00:27:40.280
You advertise on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist or whatever.

00:27:40.280 --> 00:27:46.280
I don't think that's the case. It's totally a thing. No, I think this is downloading VODs for sure.

00:27:46.280 --> 00:27:51.280
It says make your own live TV channel, but I think they would do that by downloading VODs

00:27:51.280 --> 00:27:54.280
and then mixing them into a live feed.

00:27:54.280 --> 00:27:58.280
So you're still downloading things from YouTube and then playing them somewhere else.

00:27:58.280 --> 00:28:03.280
But if you wanted to do that, then why wouldn't you just share your Plex library?

00:28:03.280 --> 00:28:07.280
Am I missing something here? Please tell me if I'm missing something here. I want to be based on YouTube videos.

00:28:07.280 --> 00:28:11.280
I don't think it's like, is there a better option or not necessarily.

00:28:11.280 --> 00:28:15.280
I think at its core, they were downloading YouTube videos and then having them play

00:28:15.280 --> 00:28:18.280
in effectively random order off of your own thing.

00:28:18.280 --> 00:28:22.280
Yeah, no. It's enjoy your own, build your own live TV channels.

00:28:22.280 --> 00:28:25.280
So it's like this with like programming.

00:28:25.280 --> 00:28:28.280
And it's like at a scheduled time.

00:28:28.280 --> 00:28:33.280
Yeah. But they're YouTube videos. They're not live streams.

00:28:33.280 --> 00:28:37.280
Your thing is a live stream, but what you're downloading is YouTube videos.

00:28:37.280 --> 00:28:41.280
So it still fits in the reason why you think our video is taken down because it shows you

00:28:41.280 --> 00:28:48.280
how to download YouTube videos. Okay, but I don't think he's, but he wasn't talking about YouTube videos and I don't

00:28:48.280 --> 00:28:52.280
think that's what most people are using this for. Because like, why would you do that?

00:28:52.280 --> 00:28:57.280
Why would you want this experience for YouTube videos?

00:28:57.280 --> 00:29:00.280
I mean, even just look at their example.

00:29:00.280 --> 00:29:03.280
This is all traditional media.

00:29:03.280 --> 00:29:09.280
Like this is not YouTube. This is not what I would think anyone would be doing with this.

00:29:09.280 --> 00:29:17.280
And I suspect that the people who are trying to use this in any kind of commercial fashion

00:29:17.280 --> 00:29:22.280
are more trying to monetize this like live TV experience.

00:29:22.280 --> 00:29:27.280
So it's had nothing. Given that it doesn't threaten YouTube's own content.

00:29:27.280 --> 00:29:31.280
I'm just, I'm a little surprised that they care.

00:29:31.280 --> 00:29:34.280
I made a bad assumption that this had something to do at all with YouTube.

00:29:34.280 --> 00:29:37.280
No. Yeah, I don't get it even slightly then.

00:29:37.280 --> 00:29:44.280
No, turning your Plex library into TV channels is what or Sats TV does.

00:29:44.280 --> 00:29:48.280
If I had to, if I, okay, this is, this is pretty good from chat.

00:29:48.280 --> 00:29:51.280
So maybe they got a cease and desist.

00:29:51.280 --> 00:29:55.280
Like maybe this was one of the more traditional content providers that basically went,

00:29:55.280 --> 00:29:58.280
hey, y'all need to remove this.

00:29:58.280 --> 00:30:05.280
Yeah, maybe. But then again, like you said, he used stuff like the brain that wouldn't die.

00:30:05.280 --> 00:30:10.280
Yeah. So you, it feels like he did this all above board.

00:30:10.280 --> 00:30:13.280
And like I also said, where's my takedown for this then?

00:30:13.280 --> 00:30:16.280
Yeah. So look at this guy.

00:30:16.280 --> 00:30:19.280
How could you not? Look at that shifty-eyed motherfucker.

00:30:19.280 --> 00:30:22.280
Wouldn't you just automatically want to take his videos down?

00:30:22.280 --> 00:30:30.280
Yeah, right? This is weird.

00:30:30.280 --> 00:30:34.280
I just, I just applied what happened to us to it and assumed.

00:30:34.280 --> 00:30:38.280
No. Oh, here's a fun one.

00:30:38.280 --> 00:30:47.280
This might not be good to bring attention here. Sorry, Lawn, but LawnTV, a full-point guy actually, has a video on my streaming channel

00:30:47.280 --> 00:30:50.280
with Plex in there. That's TV four months ago.

00:30:50.280 --> 00:31:00.280
It's still up. It just feels like, and I look, I know it's probably not targeted, but it can't help

00:31:00.280 --> 00:31:07.280
but feel a little targeted when finding a video on this topic from four months ago was

00:31:07.280 --> 00:31:10.280
as easy as you just searching for it like that.

00:31:10.280 --> 00:31:14.280
Yeah.

00:31:14.280 --> 00:31:18.280
Well, good luck us and good luck everybody else.

00:31:18.280 --> 00:31:24.280
And if you guys want to check out the video, you can head over to Space Invader 1's Patreon

00:31:24.280 --> 00:31:31.280
where that video is still up. If you ever want to watch D-Google Your Life Part 2, I don't actually think we did leave

00:31:31.280 --> 00:31:34.280
it up on Floatplane.

00:31:34.280 --> 00:31:38.280
Did we? That is a good question.

00:31:38.280 --> 00:31:41.280
Part 2, it's up. Part 2's up. Oh, okay.

00:31:41.280 --> 00:31:44.280
Yeah. Are you sure? 100%.

00:31:44.280 --> 00:31:47.280
You're 100% sure. I am 100% sure.

00:31:48.280 --> 00:31:51.280
Oh, good.

00:31:51.280 --> 00:31:55.280
Okay. Neat. Well, that's up on, oh yeah, there it is.

00:31:55.280 --> 00:31:58.280
Cool. So that's up on Floatplane.

00:31:58.280 --> 00:32:01.280
Oh yeah, our search is not the greatest. There's a fun trick.

00:32:01.280 --> 00:32:05.280
If you put it in quotes, it immediately works wildly better.

00:32:05.280 --> 00:32:08.280
We know what's wrong. We'll get to fixing it.

00:32:08.280 --> 00:32:12.280
Nope, didn't work. You just put D-Google in quotes and it didn't work because I've done this like five times

00:32:12.280 --> 00:32:15.280
this show so far. No, because I didn't put D-Google.

00:32:15.280 --> 00:32:18.280
I just put Google your life. Oh.

00:32:18.280 --> 00:32:21.280
So it brought up probably any video that had the words Google your and life.

00:32:21.280 --> 00:32:24.280
Anywhere in the title, comments and description would be my guess, right?

00:32:24.280 --> 00:32:28.280
That is, it's been a long time since I've looked into our search, maybe.

00:32:28.280 --> 00:32:31.280
But yeah, D-Google would have worked for you.

00:32:31.280 --> 00:32:34.280
Cool. All right, what's next?

00:32:34.280 --> 00:32:37.280
What do you want to talk about, Dan? We're going to mix it up.

00:32:37.280 --> 00:32:43.280
Dan, choose our next topic. Oh, we're going to talk about Windows 11.

00:32:43.280 --> 00:32:47.280
Because I'm not moving over. Yeah, good.

00:32:47.280 --> 00:32:52.280
Ever. Good. I'm waiting for 12.

00:32:52.280 --> 00:32:58.280
You know that the past pattern of like good Windows, crappy Windows, good Windows, crappy

00:32:58.280 --> 00:33:03.280
Windows is not an indication of future good Windows.

00:33:03.280 --> 00:33:07.280
Prove me wrong Windows. I mean, don't tempt them.

00:33:07.280 --> 00:33:11.280
Prove you right. Prove him wrong. I'm just going backwards.

00:33:11.280 --> 00:33:14.280
I'm going back to seven. Good.

00:33:14.280 --> 00:33:21.280
Good. Microsoft is blocking more ways to set up a Windows 11 local account.

00:33:21.280 --> 00:33:27.640
When announcing Windows 11 insider preview builds 26120.6772, Microsoft revealed that

00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:34.280
they are removing known mechanisms for setting up an offline or local account.

00:33:34.280 --> 00:33:40.280
Microsoft says users will need to complete their Windows 11 setup with an internet connection

00:33:40.280 --> 00:33:43.280
and with a Microsoft account.

00:33:43.280 --> 00:33:49.280
As you would probably expect, it was not long before folks started to make workarounds.

00:33:49.280 --> 00:33:57.280
And notebook check, who we were reading when we were looking at this development, already

00:33:57.280 --> 00:34:02.280
has some examples of how to make a local account on Windows 11's new build.

00:34:02.280 --> 00:34:09.280
Nice. So if you guys want to head on over, I'm not saying, look, Google, just calm down.

00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:12.280
You have a little relax. I think you should.

00:34:12.280 --> 00:34:15.280
I think you should go read the article and I think you should make a local account.

00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:18.280
I am not providing anyone with instructions to anything.

00:34:18.280 --> 00:34:25.280
I think you should do it. This is notebook check, an unaffiliated website with which I have nothing to do.

00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:31.280
I don't even know if they have ever even associated with me in any way.

00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:35.280
Maybe they said mean things about me. I literally don't know.

00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:42.280
What I do know is that this is not a page that you should ever look up.

00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:49.280
There, please don't take down my WAN Show.

00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:54.280
Discussion question aside from simply allowing local accounts, what can Microsoft do to repair

00:34:54.280 --> 00:35:04.280
Windows 11's public image? I mean, dude, I mean, like where do you even, where do you even start with stuff like that?

00:35:04.280 --> 00:35:07.280
Right. Like here, let's try a thing.

00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:17.280
Let's try a thing for fun. Tell me something that might be on my computer that I could search for.

00:35:17.280 --> 00:35:20.280
I can tell you things I wish were on your computer that you could search for.

00:35:20.280 --> 00:35:25.280
What happened to local games without ads?

00:35:25.280 --> 00:35:28.280
Okay. Something. No pad.

00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:31.280
That'll show up. That'll work. Yeah.

00:35:31.280 --> 00:35:33.280
Okay. That worked immediately.

00:35:34.280 --> 00:35:40.280
Usually, it's individual files that I wouldn't know you have on your computer that doesn't

00:35:40.280 --> 00:35:43.280
immediately search up. Well, let's find out what files I have on my computer.

00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:46.280
Probably not a ton because they're WAN Show laptops.

00:35:46.280 --> 00:35:54.280
Yeah. This is not going to be an amazing example, but I'm pretty sure everybody has experienced

00:35:54.280 --> 00:35:57.280
this, so we could just tell them what you're talking about. Okay.

00:35:57.280 --> 00:36:01.280
Okay. Hold on. Basically, when you search for things on Windows and you can disable this.

00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:08.280
I have found my favorite Luke meme.

00:36:08.280 --> 00:36:15.280
Okay. You know what? The search actually worked pretty okay there, but there's definitely times when it doesn't

00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:17.280
work too good.

00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:25.280
All right. Why don't we move on? My goodness.

00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:28.280
Oh, yeah. What could they do to fix the image?

00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:31.280
I mean, okay, fix the search.

00:36:31.280 --> 00:36:34.280
Well, maybe it's great. Yeah.

00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:40.280
Okay. Permanently fix the search. We should do a Labs thing.

00:36:40.280 --> 00:36:45.280
Does Windows search still suck? I don't know if it would prove it one way or the other, unfortunately.

00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:53.280
You could do a lot of dive. Yeah, but from one machine to the next, sometimes you'll have a pretty different experience.

00:36:53.280 --> 00:36:57.280
From one date, from one search to the next, I can take the same.

00:36:57.280 --> 00:37:04.280
A bunch of different ones. I can take the same characters and it will literally, like, oh man, what was one that

00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:10.280
would happen all the time for me? Because I had two applications that had the first three or four letters in common.

00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:13.280
That one's rough. Yeah, that one's really rough.

00:37:13.280 --> 00:37:18.280
When the one that it's auto-selecting will change after you finish typing.

00:37:18.280 --> 00:37:24.280
Even though they both share all the same letters, it will randomly change when you type one

00:37:24.280 --> 00:37:28.280
more letter. It's just bizarre. What's the name of...

00:37:32.280 --> 00:37:36.280
Battle State. I would try to open the Battle State Launcher back in the day.

00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:39.280
Right. I couldn't remember the name of the company. It's been a while.

00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:43.280
But I'd try to open the Battle State Launcher to play Tarkov and I type bat and it would

00:37:43.280 --> 00:37:47.280
show the Battle State Launcher and then in the time that it takes for me to shift my

00:37:47.280 --> 00:37:50.280
hand over to enter, it would switch to BattleNet.

00:37:50.280 --> 00:37:53.280
Then I'd be like, why?

00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:59.280
Hold on. You can load it under or something. Is this pre or post-activation acquisition?

00:37:59.280 --> 00:38:02.280
Putting on my tinfoil hat.

00:38:02.280 --> 00:38:05.280
Definitely post. Oh, I knew it.

00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:09.280
I knew it. This is a good one.

00:38:09.280 --> 00:38:13.280
XD stock and Floatplane chat says, I tried to open PowerShell the other day and it web

00:38:13.280 --> 00:38:16.280
searched it instead. No.

00:38:16.280 --> 00:38:22.280
I don't know. It's just, it's tough to, it's the kind of thing that's really tough to replicate.

00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:29.280
Yeah. One of them was the new Windows 11 preview build has folks wanting to jump ship.

00:38:29.280 --> 00:38:36.280
What advice would you give any Windows users considering swapping their OS in 2025?

00:38:36.280 --> 00:38:40.280
Do it. Some games are still a problem.

00:38:40.280 --> 00:38:43.280
But send it. Yeah. Give it a shot.

00:38:43.280 --> 00:38:48.280
Right? At least try. Here's a wild question.

00:38:48.280 --> 00:38:51.280
Do you need to play the games that are on Windows?

00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:54.280
Yeah, probably not. There's some like friend group issues.

00:38:54.280 --> 00:38:58.280
Yeah. I mean, you ran into that back when we did the Linux challenge a couple of years ago.

00:38:58.280 --> 00:39:01.280
And it would again be a problem. What game was it?

00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:05.280
Battlefield, which is funny because if I did it now, it would be Battlefield again.

00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:08.280
That's hilarious. Yeah. Nice.

00:39:08.280 --> 00:39:11.280
Was that, was that Battlefield? 2042.

00:39:11.280 --> 00:39:14.280
Okay. Which turns out not a big deal that I couldn't play that one.

00:39:14.280 --> 00:39:17.280
Right. But you're pretty psyched for Battlefield 6. Pretty psyched for 6.

00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:20.280
Yeah, okay. I think it comes out like tonight, but I can't play because my computer's not set up anyways.

00:39:20.280 --> 00:39:23.280
Nice. I don't have like things to do. Nice.

00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:27.280
But I will play eventually. Maybe I'll play it in Think of You.

00:39:27.280 --> 00:39:30.280
I won't. I'll be playing the Middle East Chronicles.

00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:33.280
The what? Oh, the Final Fantasy Tactics. Oh, right, right, right, right, right, right, right.

00:39:33.280 --> 00:39:36.280
Yeah. I'm like 20. People are saying it's already out.

00:39:36.280 --> 00:39:39.280
Yeah. 25 hours. Today, right?

00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:46.280
I was working. Oh, Handyman figured it out. Yeah, it was Teams and Team Viewer was what I would always, it would like change.

00:39:46.280 --> 00:39:54.280
I'd type TEA and it would be like Team Viewer and I'd hit M and it'd be like, you mean

00:39:54.280 --> 00:39:58.280
Teams and I'd hit enter because sometimes my typing just like has momentum.

00:39:58.280 --> 00:40:01.280
Yeah, of course. I'll be like, oh, no, you've got it already.

00:40:01.280 --> 00:40:04.280
And then it would change right as I hit like one more key.

00:40:04.280 --> 00:40:07.280
Ah, no, it's not what I meant to open.

00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:15.280
Apparently, Stranger IFT, I don't know.

00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:18.280
My name is Floatgoat in Battlefield. Let's go.

00:40:18.280 --> 00:40:22.280
My little note here is maybe Microsoft should pull an edge.

00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:27.280
Other people are doing it. What if they just based their operating system off of Linux?

00:40:27.280 --> 00:40:32.280
With Edge, they just based it off of Chromium. What if they just gave up on the Windows kernel?

00:40:32.280 --> 00:40:35.280
What if they just let it die?

00:40:35.280 --> 00:40:38.280
Imagine how much better Windows Server would be.

00:40:38.280 --> 00:40:44.280
So that's kind of crazy. You're proposing that they turn Windows into a Linux distro.

00:40:44.280 --> 00:40:50.280
If the next iteration of Windows is just a distro of Linux.

00:40:50.280 --> 00:40:54.280
Yeah, with like a bunch of ads and bull crap, because that's what they do now, right?

00:40:54.280 --> 00:40:58.280
So that would work.

00:40:58.280 --> 00:41:04.280
I think they should just do it.

00:41:04.280 --> 00:41:07.280
What distro? I told you Windows 12 would be great.

00:41:07.280 --> 00:41:10.280
I told you, man. Dude.

00:41:10.280 --> 00:41:19.280
Windows aren't arched. Think about it. So much of the back catalog is going to have to be like emulatable because of the switch to ARM anyway.

00:41:19.280 --> 00:41:28.280
Like looking at what a colossal project that has been would figuring out a compatibility layer

00:41:28.280 --> 00:41:35.280
for your older Windows apps, for new Linux Windows, really be any harder than that.

00:41:35.280 --> 00:41:39.280
I literally don't know. I actually do not know the answer to that.

00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:49.280
It would be great. But given that Valve and the open source community managed to do it to a significant degree for gaming,

00:41:49.280 --> 00:41:57.280
given that there are already, there's already such widespread support for.

00:41:57.280 --> 00:42:04.280
Well, okay. No, sorry. I'm just, I'm trying to, I'm trying to wrap my brain around this because somehow in all the years of WAN Show,

00:42:04.280 --> 00:42:09.280
we have never talked about this.

00:42:10.280 --> 00:42:13.280
Could you, could you use? Microsoft Store and Game Pass Native on Linux?

00:42:13.280 --> 00:42:16.280
Yeah, why not? Could you use like virtualization in some way?

00:42:16.280 --> 00:42:21.280
Like could you, could you virtualize old Windows to run certain apps?

00:42:21.280 --> 00:42:25.280
Like could you? There's the WAN compatibility layer.

00:42:25.280 --> 00:42:29.280
Yeah. People have called that out in full potential.

00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:33.280
Anyways.

00:42:33.280 --> 00:42:36.280
There's some stuff to do this already. Yeah.

00:42:36.280 --> 00:42:42.280
Like Valve. They could just pour into these open source projects and get it done.

00:42:42.280 --> 00:42:45.280
Look at the rapid development that happened with Proton.

00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:54.280
Right. But they want, dude, they, but then why would OEMs like Lenovo and Acer keep pouring money

00:42:54.280 --> 00:42:57.280
into their coffers for Windows licenses then at that point?

00:42:57.280 --> 00:43:01.280
Because they do still make money on Windows as far as I can tell.

00:43:01.280 --> 00:43:07.280
Microsoft, Windows. Is it against agreements to charge for a Linux distro?

00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:10.280
No, I don't think so. Well, then they could just do that.

00:43:10.280 --> 00:43:13.280
Right. But who would pay for it at that point?

00:43:13.280 --> 00:43:18.280
The familiarity would be there. Not with the way they keep changing the stupid UI all the time.

00:43:18.280 --> 00:43:21.280
I mean, why was my start menu in the middle all of a sudden?

00:43:21.280 --> 00:43:26.280
Yeah. Redhead is pretty sure. I just didn't know if that was purely a support contract or if you actually had to pay for

00:43:26.280 --> 00:43:30.280
the distro itself. I wasn't sure about that.

00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:41.280
Windows revenue. Here we go. A fiscal year 2024 compared to fiscal year 2023 revenue increased 13%.

00:43:41.280 --> 00:43:47.280
Windows revenue increased 8% driven by growth in Windows commercial and Windows OEM.

00:43:47.280 --> 00:43:51.280
So note that retail is not their focus.

00:43:51.280 --> 00:43:56.280
Not even a little bit. Commercial products and cloud services revenue increased.

00:43:56.280 --> 00:43:59.280
Microsoft 365, Windows OEM. Oh, yeah.

00:43:59.280 --> 00:44:04.280
So this is just like system builders, Windows.

00:44:04.280 --> 00:44:12.280
Yeah. So I can't think of a reason why if I'm Lenovo, I want to keep paying even the bulk rate,

00:44:12.280 --> 00:44:19.280
bulk rate Windows licenses, if my user for this system is going to be able to just not

00:44:19.280 --> 00:44:22.280
run Windows and run all the same software. But that's the thing.

00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:25.280
Run all the same software. Yeah.

00:44:25.280 --> 00:44:29.280
Stuff like Teams, Microsoft Teams is rough.

00:44:29.280 --> 00:44:34.280
Every time I've had to use it, it's rough to the point where it usually ends up being

00:44:34.280 --> 00:44:38.280
worth it to just run it in a browser, which is a worse experience for an app like that,

00:44:38.280 --> 00:44:41.280
in my opinion.

00:44:41.280 --> 00:44:45.280
RISO says most users are just going to use whatever their computer ships with, which

00:44:45.280 --> 00:44:48.280
is fair enough. I just, if I'm an Acer-

00:44:48.280 --> 00:44:52.280
People have tried it though and those are less popular options, even when they're cheaper.

00:44:52.280 --> 00:44:56.280
But I might want to dip my toes into it if all of a sudden it wouldn't matter.

00:44:56.280 --> 00:45:01.280
Like, if it legitimately wouldn't matter, because the second Microsoft ships their

00:45:01.280 --> 00:45:05.280
Windows fork or whatever, I think that already exists.

00:45:05.280 --> 00:45:08.280
I think it's just a Linux that is kind of skinned like Windows.

00:45:08.280 --> 00:45:13.280
But the second they ship that, you know that there's going to be forks upon forks upon forks

00:45:13.280 --> 00:45:19.280
upon forks of that, that try to replicate as much of the Linux Windows experience as

00:45:19.280 --> 00:45:27.280
possible. And if what matters to the typical users that their browser works and the familiarity of

00:45:27.280 --> 00:45:33.280
the interface, then I just don't think there's going to be much special sauce left for Windows

00:45:33.280 --> 00:45:39.280
at that point. Like, the compatibility is pretty much the only thing keeping me on it now.

00:45:39.280 --> 00:45:43.280
Like, just knowing that, especially games. It is purely the only thing keeping me on it.

00:45:43.280 --> 00:45:46.280
Anything I want to run is going to work on it.

00:45:46.280 --> 00:45:52.280
Unless they put a ton of work into proprietary compatibility layers, then I just don't really

00:45:52.280 --> 00:46:01.280
see what value their Windows Linux would have.

00:46:01.280 --> 00:46:04.280
I think it would be funny. Yeah, funny.

00:46:04.280 --> 00:46:07.280
I wonder if in like, there's billions of dollars on the line for them.

00:46:07.280 --> 00:46:10.280
They can't just do a long time. They can't just like post a new Windows.

00:46:10.280 --> 00:46:15.280
The computers are getting less and less central in people's lives.

00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:20.280
Linux is getting easier and easier for people to use and the barriers are getting lower

00:46:20.280 --> 00:46:23.280
due to things like proton.

00:46:23.280 --> 00:46:30.280
10 years, 15 years. If people just don't really care that much anymore, they could try.

00:46:30.280 --> 00:46:34.280
They'll still care about consider it long-term PMS at Microsoft.

00:46:34.280 --> 00:46:37.280
Consider it. I would love it to happen.

00:46:37.280 --> 00:46:41.280
I want Windows to die.

00:46:41.280 --> 00:46:44.280
I wish I didn't think that. I desperately wish I didn't think that.

00:46:44.280 --> 00:46:50.280
If you asked me like, seven years ago, I'd just be happy using Windows for the entire

00:46:50.280 --> 00:46:53.280
rest of my life. No problem. I like it a lot.

00:46:53.280 --> 00:47:04.280
The only trend line in Windows for a long, long time has been, I like, hate it.

00:47:04.280 --> 00:47:07.280
So unless there's a significant change.

00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:10.280
8.1 was okay. 8.1 was all right.

00:47:10.280 --> 00:47:18.280
Yeah. 8 was. 8.1 needed some work, but you could get it to be pretty solid.

00:47:18.280 --> 00:47:24.280
Yeah. And then it would stay pretty solid. Oh yeah, toward the end of 8.1 when it was service packed up, like it was.

00:47:24.280 --> 00:47:27.280
It was pretty all right. Yeah.

00:47:27.280 --> 00:47:32.280
And then right back at it, Windows 10 didn't like that.

00:47:32.280 --> 00:47:35.280
Never liked that. Windows 11 came out never liked that.

00:47:35.280 --> 00:47:38.280
I can't remember what I thought of Windows 10.

00:47:38.280 --> 00:47:47.280
I think Windows 10 was okay. I actually, man, it's kind of amazing how long ago Windows 10 came out.

00:47:47.280 --> 00:47:50.280
Yeah. So just for reference for people.

00:47:50.280 --> 00:47:53.280
Yeah. Windows 10 came out 10 years ago.

00:47:53.280 --> 00:47:59.280
Like what? So I have actively very much disliked everything about Windows for 10 years.

00:47:59.280 --> 00:48:07.280
Right. So at a certain point it's just like, damn dude, can we make Luke switch to macOS?

00:48:07.280 --> 00:48:14.280
Nope, probably not. I mean, it really doesn't matter that much, honestly.

00:48:14.280 --> 00:48:21.280
And macOS gets ironically better support from Microsoft than Linux does in a lot of cases.

00:48:21.280 --> 00:48:24.280
Oh, no. Teams on macOS is fine. Definitely.

00:48:24.280 --> 00:48:27.280
Yeah. Yeah. That's not even, that's like all the time.

00:48:27.280 --> 00:48:33.280
Oh no, no, I know. I just mean, the irony is just that, you know, Windows Mac.

00:48:33.280 --> 00:48:36.280
But like. It's mostly keep those Linux guys out.

00:48:36.280 --> 00:48:39.280
Yeah. Yeah.

00:48:39.280 --> 00:48:42.280
And I don't think it like has to always be this way.

00:48:42.280 --> 00:48:45.280
I absolutely definitely think there is a path to redemption for Windows.

00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:49.280
I just don't think they're going to take it. That's why I'm like so frustrated.

00:48:49.280 --> 00:48:55.280
And it's been so long of being very sure they're not going to take it that it's just like, all right.

00:48:55.280 --> 00:48:59.280
I just don't know why it'd be, it'd be interesting to sit in the board room.

00:48:59.280 --> 00:49:02.280
And my, sorry. No, go ahead.

00:49:02.280 --> 00:49:08.280
My completely ignorant naive opinion is that it would be so easy to make it not trash.

00:49:08.280 --> 00:49:14.280
I don't think it would take that much work to make it not trash genuinely because like,

00:49:14.280 --> 00:49:18.280
there are a lot of things in my opinion that Windows could do that would make it cool and

00:49:18.280 --> 00:49:22.280
interesting. And they don't. That's a whole other question.

00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:27.280
The thing that bothers me most is the things that they actively do that actively make it

00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:29.280
bad or worse.

00:49:30.280 --> 00:49:36.280
Like if I, if I have purchased my Windows, I don't want freaking ads.

00:49:36.280 --> 00:49:39.280
Right. Ever. Any amount.

00:49:39.280 --> 00:49:43.280
Go away. Like just, there's certain things that are like my goodness.

00:49:43.280 --> 00:49:48.280
And we know that they've been rather okay with Windows piracy for like a long time.

00:49:48.280 --> 00:49:51.280
Yep. So if you're going to do that, just put ads in those versions.

00:49:51.280 --> 00:49:55.280
Right. Whatever. But I bought it.

00:49:55.280 --> 00:50:00.280
Go away. Like you just mentioned it barely matters anymore.

00:50:00.280 --> 00:50:03.280
I agree. So get out of my way.

00:50:03.280 --> 00:50:11.280
Don't just like put all this junk there all the time. Don't make search bad or make it an easy toggle and never turn it back on if I turn it off.

00:50:11.280 --> 00:50:18.280
No questions. If I'm like, you know what, I kind of like just using my start for search and for local

00:50:18.280 --> 00:50:21.280
files. But if you did, sure.

00:50:21.280 --> 00:50:24.280
Yeah. Then you can leave that on. There's no problem.

00:50:24.280 --> 00:50:28.280
Don't bury it in a reg edit and don't reset it every once in a while.

00:50:28.280 --> 00:50:34.280
Remember when like media player was pretty cool media player used to be sick.

00:50:34.280 --> 00:50:42.280
The new one is so annoying. Do you remember when the ability to view photos within Windows wasn't just a trash experience?

00:50:42.280 --> 00:50:46.280
They have this new. What is it called? Why is this pop up coming up?

00:50:46.280 --> 00:50:49.280
Go away. Where's the X?

00:50:49.280 --> 00:50:52.280
Where's the exact socks so much?

00:50:52.280 --> 00:50:59.280
This is such a terrible experience. Any window that doesn't have an X in the top right should be banned.

00:50:59.280 --> 00:51:02.280
Yeah. By law. Yeah.

00:51:02.280 --> 00:51:08.280
I don't want next. I don't want anything. I want this to get out of my way because I'm using my computer.

00:51:08.280 --> 00:51:12.280
I hate the new photos app. I hate the new video playing app.

00:51:12.280 --> 00:51:15.280
I actually did kind of like old like Windows media player classic.

00:51:15.280 --> 00:51:19.280
I know it was like more based to use VLC or whatever else, but I liked Windows media

00:51:19.280 --> 00:51:25.280
player classic. Why did this open in a new thing?

00:51:25.280 --> 00:51:28.280
Yeah.

00:51:28.280 --> 00:51:33.280
It's wack. They have clip champ now. Is it at least easy to just quickly crop something now?

00:51:33.280 --> 00:51:38.280
Because that used to drive me absolutely crazy is that let's see.

00:51:38.280 --> 00:51:41.280
No. Hold on. Edit.

00:51:41.280 --> 00:51:44.280
Resize. Is this going to open in yet another window? Okay.

00:51:44.280 --> 00:51:47.280
Here we go. Okay. Yeah.

00:51:47.280 --> 00:51:53.280
There's a lot of things in here now. How do I apply it?

00:51:53.280 --> 00:51:57.280
Why is this? What is all this AI crap?

00:51:57.280 --> 00:52:02.280
Okay. Save. So wait, did I?

00:52:02.280 --> 00:52:05.280
Okay. Is it? Okay.

00:52:05.280 --> 00:52:08.280
I can't just, I can't just apply it. Dude, I don't know.

00:52:08.280 --> 00:52:11.280
Maybe I'm missing something here, but like. This part's whatever.

00:52:11.280 --> 00:52:14.280
Let's just getting used to how this app works. I hope.

00:52:14.280 --> 00:52:16.280
You think so? I hope.

00:52:17.280 --> 00:52:23.280
I don't know, man. When I, I don't know why apply buttons went out of fashion.

00:52:23.280 --> 00:52:26.280
I suspect if you just saved it, it would just be that. Yeah, it will.

00:52:26.280 --> 00:52:29.280
No, no, no, no. I don't, I don't doubt that. I don't doubt that.

00:52:29.280 --> 00:52:32.280
I just, I don't know, man. I just, I like. Sure.

00:52:32.280 --> 00:52:35.280
I like being able to apply a change. I just know it's done.

00:52:35.280 --> 00:52:39.280
And then seeing that it is done. It just doesn't seem.

00:52:39.280 --> 00:52:43.280
This is better than it was for a long time, man. The stupid clip champ on your computer.

00:52:43.280 --> 00:52:46.280
I do have clip champ. I mean, it comes installed on my computer.

00:52:46.280 --> 00:52:47.280
Piss is me.

00:52:50.280 --> 00:52:54.280
What is it? Is it worse than Windows movie maker? I mean, Windows movie maker is kind of a piece of junk.

00:52:54.280 --> 00:52:57.280
Windows movie maker better. Apparently mine doesn't even have clip champ.

00:52:57.280 --> 00:53:01.280
Oh, I have clip champ. I can open up clip champ. I probably uninstalled it.

00:53:01.280 --> 00:53:04.280
I may have done a pass and like. Sure.

00:53:04.280 --> 00:53:07.280
I always do. Oh my God. Why do I have to sign in?

00:53:07.280 --> 00:53:09.280
Done immediately. Piss.

00:53:10.280 --> 00:53:13.280
This is my point. What are you talking about?

00:53:14.280 --> 00:53:17.280
I want to edit a video.

00:53:17.280 --> 00:53:20.280
I don't need to log into your stupid thing.

00:53:20.280 --> 00:53:23.280
I need a timeline. I need to put the video on it.

00:53:23.280 --> 00:53:26.280
Maybe the video has some audio. Great.

00:53:26.280 --> 00:53:29.280
There should be a timeline for the audio. If not, I can put my own audio there.

00:53:29.280 --> 00:53:32.280
You had Windows movie maker.

00:53:32.280 --> 00:53:37.280
Tons of people actually cut their teeth on editing videos with Windows movie maker.

00:53:37.280 --> 00:53:40.280
It was kind of rough. Hold on. They could have just made the experience better.

00:53:40.280 --> 00:53:44.280
No, no, no, no. Are you wanting to sign in with Google or email?

00:53:47.280 --> 00:53:51.280
Would that make it better? Just stop.

00:53:51.280 --> 00:53:56.280
Oh my God. They're differentiating factor for Microsoft.

00:53:56.280 --> 00:53:59.280
Seems to be right now that they're pushing the apps.

00:53:59.280 --> 00:54:06.280
The negative thing they're doing towards Linux is that there's no native from vendor

00:54:06.280 --> 00:54:10.280
teams app. I don't think you can do Office 365 natively on Linux.

00:54:10.280 --> 00:54:14.280
Not sure. I just don't think so. Or at least not easily.

00:54:14.280 --> 00:54:20.280
Okay. Make your video editor at least fine.

00:54:20.280 --> 00:54:26.280
They've retired the official native teams app for Linux in late 2022 according to AI

00:54:26.280 --> 00:54:30.280
overview. You have to use this other one. It has a bunch of issues.

00:54:30.280 --> 00:54:34.280
It is what it is. I appreciate that somebody made one at all.

00:54:34.280 --> 00:54:37.280
It's far from perfect. Okay.

00:54:37.280 --> 00:54:40.280
This is also on Q&A on Microsoft.

00:54:40.280 --> 00:54:44.280
It might be far from perfect because they haven't really had that much time because

00:54:44.280 --> 00:54:51.280
that happened not that long ago. But it's just like there's all these things where like if the, if the, I never hear those

00:54:51.280 --> 00:54:56.280
types of complaints from Apple people. I hear other complaints, but I don't hear those types of complaints.

00:54:56.280 --> 00:55:01.280
Windows is so obsessed with constantly stopping you from doing the thing that you want to

00:55:01.280 --> 00:55:06.280
do. Like 2021 says, I miss when Windows let us set another media player as the default for

00:55:06.280 --> 00:55:09.640
every format. Now I have to do it per file type.

00:55:09.640 --> 00:55:14.680
Yeah. The change in the defaults is so annoying now, like it's just another like, why?

00:55:14.680 --> 00:55:20.200
And the, oh man, the one that really kills me is that wizard that comes up like every,

00:55:20.200 --> 00:55:23.360
I don't know, every three months, every six months, you know, the one I'm talking about

00:55:23.360 --> 00:55:30.920
where it looks like it formatted your computer. It makes you go through the Ubi again and like dark patterns, the crap out of you trying

00:55:30.920 --> 00:55:36.200
to get you to change to edge intensely Luke yours, uh, did that when I turned it on this

00:55:36.200 --> 00:55:39.200
morning? Not surprised. Happens every once in a while.

00:55:39.200 --> 00:55:42.200
Freaking annoying. Never do that. Yeah.

00:55:42.200 --> 00:55:46.640
Just like there's so many things that it's like never under any circumstance do that. And then it's just everything on Windows.

00:55:46.640 --> 00:55:52.880
It's like, whoa, but then stopping doing that doesn't seem that hard, which I'm like, I

00:55:52.880 --> 00:55:56.600
don't know. Maybe if like the right person gets in the right position, they can fix it.

00:55:56.600 --> 00:56:07.120
It is definitely not unfixable. I just don't believe it's going to happen anymore because it's been so long of just

00:56:07.120 --> 00:56:12.280
constantly trending in this direction. A deduct says you can turn that off and that's cool.

00:56:12.280 --> 00:56:16.280
I actually didn't know that because from my understanding, it happens when you apply a

00:56:16.280 --> 00:56:19.360
major update. So I just assumed that it was re enabling itself.

00:56:19.360 --> 00:56:25.040
Uh, so I didn't know that that's good to know, but also I shouldn't have to.

00:56:25.040 --> 00:56:36.880
That should just not happen even once or, or if they must do it, a confirmation screen.

00:56:36.880 --> 00:56:43.520
Here's the way everything was set up because I mean nowadays, they still roll out things

00:56:43.520 --> 00:56:49.720
that would have been a surface pack or surface pack or that would have been like a major

00:56:49.720 --> 00:56:53.680
update as just part of like, you know, last Windows you'll ever need, whatever.

00:56:53.680 --> 00:56:57.360
Like they really do do major updates that would have previously been another version

00:56:57.360 --> 00:57:00.760
of Windows or they would have been a service pack or something.

00:57:00.760 --> 00:57:04.320
So I could see another version of Windows, but definitely service pack every once in

00:57:04.320 --> 00:57:14.320
a while. If they were to do something like that. I mean, Windows 10 changed a friggin lot from day one to sunset, like a lot under the

00:57:14.320 --> 00:57:17.880
hood. Um, I don't, I don't know. I leave that.

00:57:17.880 --> 00:57:21.800
That's why the fact that it's mostly under the hood is why I don't see another version

00:57:21.800 --> 00:57:24.960
of sure. But that's fair. But I also think you're right.

00:57:24.960 --> 00:57:29.280
But either way, if every once in a while they did a major one and they were like, yeah,

00:57:29.280 --> 00:57:33.640
this is basically like, you know, being on a new Windows and they were like, Hey, here's

00:57:33.640 --> 00:57:42.000
how you had everything set up before. You're still good with this. If I had to click one button, okay.

00:57:42.000 --> 00:57:46.080
It's also genuinely like, okay, confusing for a lot of people and they think their computer

00:57:46.080 --> 00:57:52.200
just like reset. Oh dude, my, my kids accidentally update our media, updated our media PC to Windows 11

00:57:52.240 --> 00:57:55.520
as of one of those prompts. Exactly. It's weird.

00:57:55.520 --> 00:57:59.960
Yeah. It's very unnatural. It feels like something is wrong with your computer.

00:57:59.960 --> 00:58:06.080
Like it was, it was a different one. It was the upgrade to Windows 11 prompts, but I think you get what I mean.

00:58:06.080 --> 00:58:11.600
Just like these full screen takeover your whole computer, dark patterned, like crazy.

00:58:11.600 --> 00:58:16.080
Definitely click the blue button. Like I came and I was like, Oh my God, we have no Wi-Fi drivers.

00:58:16.080 --> 00:58:19.600
Why do, why do we have no Wi-Fi drive? Why are we running Windows 11?

00:58:19.600 --> 00:58:25.720
Everything on this machine was working perfectly. Have a window pop up, make it full screen if you want, but leave your start menu so

00:58:25.720 --> 00:58:33.520
you can tell that the computer booted properly. Have like those, whatever they're called, there's emojis for them where like the streamers

00:58:33.520 --> 00:58:36.760
pop out, the party streamers pop out and there's like a Canon thing, whatever.

00:58:36.760 --> 00:58:41.640
Have those in the corner, have them like actually go off and animate. It's like, Oh, you got a big upgrade to Windows 11.

00:58:41.640 --> 00:58:44.640
Hooray. There's, here's some cool things. Do you still want your settings to be the same?

00:58:44.640 --> 00:58:48.200
This is what they were. Like now I'm like, Oh sick.

00:58:48.200 --> 00:58:53.080
This thing that I bought just got better instead of incredibly annoyed.

00:58:53.080 --> 00:59:00.440
Like it's, this is what I mean. The gap is not that hard to jump, but I don't trust they'll do it because they haven't done

00:59:00.440 --> 00:59:04.680
it in a decade, right? Which is too long.

00:59:04.680 --> 00:59:07.680
So I, I don't know. I, you heard it here first.

00:59:07.680 --> 00:59:14.240
We finally found what's too long for Luke.

00:59:14.240 --> 00:59:17.680
I just, I never thought it was going to happen.

00:59:17.680 --> 00:59:26.560
But it finally came. If they give me a little bit of hope, I can keep going, they just got to tease it a little

00:59:26.560 --> 00:59:29.560
bit. Yeah. Oh God.

00:59:29.560 --> 00:59:40.440
Anyway. I just hear Dan dying.

00:59:40.440 --> 00:59:43.720
Dan guide us, guide us back to the past. Yeah.

00:59:43.720 --> 00:59:51.040
So either, either they figured out, which I don't think they will, or I hope it dies. And then it gets easier to use for more people, the community grows and things keep getting

00:59:51.040 --> 00:59:54.540
better. Why not both? I'm down with both.

00:59:54.540 --> 00:59:57.540
It's not going to happen. Yeah. I know.

00:59:57.540 --> 00:59:58.540
I'm totally down with both though.

01:00:02.360 --> 01:00:07.840
I just don't anymore. I like Windows is fine. I'm so excited for my steam machine.

01:00:07.840 --> 01:00:11.080
Do you know about my steam machine? Not at all.

01:00:11.080 --> 01:00:16.360
Do you remember the very low number of steam?

01:00:16.360 --> 01:00:19.560
Like I remember seeing all of them on one table at CES.

01:00:19.560 --> 01:00:22.560
Built by valve. Yeah. No, no, no.

01:00:22.560 --> 01:00:27.280
Not the like OEM, like stupid alienware ones or whatever. Do you remember the valve steam machine?

01:00:27.280 --> 01:00:30.720
The like reference design? I remember it. I don't think I got to see that in person.

01:00:30.720 --> 01:00:34.920
I just saw the, the vendor ones.

01:00:34.920 --> 01:00:38.080
Steam machine. Here we go.

01:00:38.080 --> 01:00:42.440
Images. I'm talking about this one.

01:00:42.440 --> 01:00:45.520
Oh yeah. No, I remember it for sure.

01:00:45.520 --> 01:00:48.960
I just haven't seen it in person. I got one. You got one.

01:00:48.960 --> 01:00:52.400
That's actually cool. I never got one back then. I wasn't cool enough or important enough.

01:00:52.400 --> 01:00:56.960
Does it like boot into an environment? I mean, oh, I don't know.

01:00:56.960 --> 01:01:00.680
I don't think the storage is still in it or anything. I can go get it. You want to see it?

01:01:00.680 --> 01:01:03.680
Yeah. Okay. All right.

01:01:03.680 --> 01:01:06.680
Install the people. Okay. Do a sponsor.

01:01:06.680 --> 01:01:09.680
Do a sponsor spot. I always have to do it. Sure.

01:01:09.880 --> 01:01:15.280
Are you ready, Dan? Yeah. That's the first time I've ever been in.

01:01:15.280 --> 01:01:18.280
You are, are you ready for Vessi? Do you want to do that first? Yeah.

01:01:18.280 --> 01:01:21.280
You just do it. Normally people just start. Do I just, I just start talking?

01:01:21.280 --> 01:01:24.280
Yeah. People. Your job sounds so hard.

01:01:24.280 --> 01:01:30.880
That's tough. Okay. It's spooky season now, but one thing you don't have to be scared of is the rain.

01:01:30.880 --> 01:01:34.320

I am your preferred email platform might not be protecting your messages as well as

01:02:40.080 --> 01:02:44.380
you'd think. Enter proton mail and it's end to end encryption.

slash WAN. WAN. Nicely done.

01:03:17.280 --> 01:03:21.280
I'm back. Let's see it.

01:03:21.280 --> 01:03:24.280
Okay. Well, there's some old ports. Oh, hold on.

01:03:24.280 --> 01:03:29.280
That's it. I'm peeking. I don't have pants on.

01:03:29.280 --> 01:03:38.800
I'm gonna make a, not a joke.

01:03:38.800 --> 01:03:43.000
That is actually way bigger than I was expecting it to be.

01:03:43.000 --> 01:03:46.800
I don't know how to make that not sexual.

01:03:46.800 --> 01:03:49.800
Oh, it's going to be. But I thought it was like NVIDIA Shield size.

01:03:49.800 --> 01:03:53.560
So it's got like a, it's got like a brushed. That is handmade, isn't it?

01:03:53.560 --> 01:03:58.120
Plastic front. Unfortunately, it's been through some hard times.

01:03:58.120 --> 01:04:02.000
So this little spot on the front is, is dented.

01:04:02.000 --> 01:04:08.800
I'm afraid all ventilation down this side, all ventilation down this side.

01:04:08.800 --> 01:04:11.960
I believe the top too. Yeah.

01:04:11.960 --> 01:04:19.480
Tons of ventilation. It was a different time and these vent holes are for, you can actually see here for the

01:04:19.480 --> 01:04:23.840
CPU socket or for the CPU area.

01:04:23.840 --> 01:04:31.760
All those ports on the GPU. They're above the socket, which means that the GPU is actually kind of going to starve

01:04:31.760 --> 01:04:37.480
for airflow. So I think there's going to be some necessary modifications in order to put a more, I don't

01:04:37.480 --> 01:04:42.960
remember that card having a yellow modern system here, Zotac probably would be my guess.

01:04:42.960 --> 01:04:48.040
And then yeah, to Luke's point, the back, this must be the original hardware that was

01:04:48.040 --> 01:04:54.240
in it. I don't know that for sure, but it's, it's, it's gotta be.

01:04:54.240 --> 01:05:00.840
And then my understanding is that this is not like damage that happened at some point.

01:05:00.840 --> 01:05:06.560
I think this was how they marked the serial of which one it was.

01:05:06.560 --> 01:05:11.320
So there's, there's 300 holes here.

01:05:11.320 --> 01:05:15.400
And did, how many units did they make? Did they make 300 units?

01:05:15.400 --> 01:05:22.200
I actually, I actually don't know how many they made. John Luke in full plane chat said, careful, the drilled hole tells valve, which serial

01:05:22.200 --> 01:05:25.200
number you have. Oh, okay. Yeah.

01:05:25.200 --> 01:05:30.920
Were you supposed to show that? Well, I, Val didn't send it to me, right?

01:05:30.920 --> 01:05:35.400
But did the person who sent it to you, could they, no, it ended up in like a junk shop

01:05:35.400 --> 01:05:38.400
or something. Oh, okay. Yeah.

01:05:38.400 --> 01:05:42.800
I mean, dude, this was, for Val to still be mad about a system they sent out 12 years

01:05:42.800 --> 01:05:46.440
ago, I think is probably pretty unlikely. Yeah.

01:05:46.440 --> 01:05:51.480
You know, you never know. There's an angle on there that looks rough.

01:05:51.480 --> 01:05:55.000
Yeah. Also, should we try to open it? Should we open it?

01:05:55.000 --> 01:05:58.000
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think we should open it.

01:05:58.000 --> 01:06:01.000
Oh, okay. That just started going. Right.

01:06:01.000 --> 01:06:04.000
That was not that bad. All right. So there's the top.

01:06:04.000 --> 01:06:07.760
Looks a little... Hey, you were right about the brand. Something like that.

01:06:07.760 --> 01:06:11.840
The witch now? This is Zotac. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.

01:06:11.840 --> 01:06:23.480
And then yeah, here's the internals. So it's actually a really thoughtfully laid out case, uses PCI, like a hard PCIe riser.

01:06:23.480 --> 01:06:26.480
So it... Ugh. So it orients the card.

01:06:26.480 --> 01:06:29.480
That is really solid, actually. Yeah. No, it's pretty cool.

01:06:29.480 --> 01:06:33.280
So you have a hard riser coming out of here. Your card goes in right here.

01:06:33.280 --> 01:06:37.400
Your intake is like, oh my God, what were they thinking here?

01:06:37.400 --> 01:06:43.640
Because this side is vented, right? So theoretically, you're getting some air here, but absolutely nothing here.

01:06:43.640 --> 01:06:48.600
But they're using a blower style cooler so that at least it's taking that hot air and

01:06:48.600 --> 01:06:52.120
it's getting rid of it out the back of the system.

01:06:52.120 --> 01:06:56.480
But it doesn't really have an intake fan, right?

01:06:56.480 --> 01:07:00.440
Because your power supply, that'll draw air in that to remember this was the side that

01:07:00.440 --> 01:07:08.720
had the vents on the top, right? So that'll draw air in and then blow it out and we'll know the case doesn't have an air

01:07:08.840 --> 01:07:11.840
intake. Oh, the general case. Because this...

01:07:11.840 --> 01:07:14.840
Wow. That... That is loose.

01:07:14.840 --> 01:07:19.320
Yes. Okay. So this will draw some air in, but you can see it's all shrouded.

01:07:19.320 --> 01:07:22.760
Ooh, the fins on there, too. So it'll come right out here.

01:07:22.760 --> 01:07:25.760
So the... We have the fins on the CPU. Oh, yeah.

01:07:25.760 --> 01:07:28.800
They got a little mangled there.

01:07:28.800 --> 01:07:33.000
So both of these are drawing air in, but they're also exhausting it directly out.

01:07:33.000 --> 01:07:38.200
So... Oh man, it's really hard to hold stuff up when I'm here, it doesn't matter.

01:07:38.200 --> 01:07:44.800
So the case itself doesn't have a single intake that provides any fresh air to this GPU.

01:07:44.800 --> 01:07:51.960
Mm-hmm. Like there's... So it's negative air pressure because these are both in their own isolated airflow zones.

01:07:51.960 --> 01:07:55.720
And then this one has a fan here, right?

01:07:55.720 --> 01:08:03.320
That is exhausting, but it has... There's no equivalent air intake for the exhaust that is blowing out.

01:08:03.320 --> 01:08:08.120
It's got a spot for a two and a half inch SSD here, but pretty much the idea...

01:08:08.120 --> 01:08:17.240
What I've been waiting for for three and a half years is for Valve to follow through

01:08:17.240 --> 01:08:25.040
on the commitment they made when they launched the Steam Deck three and a half years ago

01:08:25.040 --> 01:08:30.920
to create Steam OS for desktop. Are you going to upgrade that machine and then install it on there?

01:08:30.920 --> 01:08:33.920
That's sick. And then this will be... I love that.

01:08:33.920 --> 01:08:36.920
This will be my living room console. That's fantastic. Could I ask?

01:08:37.520 --> 01:08:40.520
No, you can't have it. No? How much was it?

01:08:40.520 --> 01:08:46.520
Oh, I don't actually know. No, I think we found it in a junk pile.

01:08:46.520 --> 01:08:51.560
Oh, no way. Yeah, it ended up at a free geek equivalent or something, and I think someone offered

01:08:51.560 --> 01:08:55.320
to send it to us or something like that. I'm pretty sure we didn't pay for it. Wow.

01:08:55.320 --> 01:09:00.120
So in terms of buying stolen goods or whatever, no.

01:09:00.120 --> 01:09:04.520
We didn't go looking for someone's coveted intellectual property or anything like that.

01:09:04.520 --> 01:09:09.880
For sure. I mean, I'd be curious to know if there's any out there.

01:09:09.880 --> 01:09:14.880
So Valve Steam Machine.

01:09:14.880 --> 01:09:18.520
So they only sent this out to gaming press, I think.

01:09:18.520 --> 01:09:25.440
Oh, yeah. eBay has got nothing. They've got literal actual Steam machines.

01:09:25.440 --> 01:09:31.520
So sorry, you won't be finding one of those there.

01:09:31.520 --> 01:09:35.120
Claim that as your upgrade. Do you have the right? No, I don't think so.

01:09:35.120 --> 01:09:39.040
Unfortunately, that's not how the terms work.

01:09:39.040 --> 01:09:42.040
It's freaking cool, though. Oh. Is that a fan?

01:09:42.040 --> 01:09:47.800
No, it's not. Nope. It's just a little shrub.

01:09:47.800 --> 01:09:50.800
I mean, it's already prepaid. Yeah. And you're replacing all the hardware.

01:09:50.800 --> 01:09:53.800
It's probably fine. Yeah. I'm a dude.

01:09:53.800 --> 01:09:58.080
And then you refinish the case at all. So, okay. Are you going to leave some?

01:09:58.080 --> 01:10:05.040
That is a hard question. That's a tough one because the wanting a beautiful

01:10:05.800 --> 01:10:11.800
system in me would be like, yeah, you know what I really want to do is I want to do like,

01:10:11.800 --> 01:10:19.560
I want to do a cool color scheme. I want to pull out this internal mesh and then I want to paint that like an accent color

01:10:19.560 --> 01:10:23.320
and that'd be super cool and then I want to do this top like a whatever and then I want

01:10:23.320 --> 01:10:30.680
to do like a hand painted, you know, third color here, like a cool, like red or like

01:10:30.680 --> 01:10:33.680
a cyan. Yeah. Yeah.

01:10:33.680 --> 01:10:36.840
Yeah. It would look sick actually. Right.

01:10:36.840 --> 01:10:41.000
Like I just, I wanted, but then it feels wrong, right?

01:10:41.000 --> 01:10:44.000
Yeah. Doesn't it feel a little wrong to paint it?

01:10:44.000 --> 01:10:48.760
It kind of does. I'm unsure, but I think making significant changes, yes, but what if you like cleaned

01:10:48.760 --> 01:10:52.880
up some of the dings? You wouldn't be able to do that though.

01:10:52.880 --> 01:10:56.680
Without like painting it. This is anodized aluminum. Yeah.

01:10:56.680 --> 01:11:01.440
Okay. So, you would have to, you'd have to, you'd have to strip the anodization, which for

01:11:01.440 --> 01:11:04.640
my understanding. Deep rounder case bluster makes me sad actually. Yeah.

01:11:04.640 --> 01:11:08.960
It is un... You're not restoring at that point.

01:11:08.960 --> 01:11:12.880
You're kind of modifying. What if you painted it the same?

01:11:12.880 --> 01:11:17.800
No, it can be challenging. Removing anodization can be quite challenging.

01:11:17.800 --> 01:11:24.000
Got it. Someone said you have a CNC machine, make a new hood, I mean I could, but that's not...

01:11:24.000 --> 01:11:27.000
No, yeah. You don't want to make a new hood. It has to be the same one.

01:11:27.000 --> 01:11:30.000
Yeah. For sure. That's, that's for sure.

01:11:30.000 --> 01:11:35.040
I'm going to do like a super cool color scheme though, like a baby blue and yellow or something

01:11:35.040 --> 01:11:38.440
for like... What if you have... Like a really out there color scheme.

01:11:38.440 --> 01:11:41.440
Do it as a wrap? You have two... Oh.

01:11:41.440 --> 01:11:44.440
You have two TVs. You have the upstairs and downstairs. What if you did...

01:11:44.440 --> 01:11:49.320
What if you recreated this and made it cool in the way that you would want and also had

01:11:49.320 --> 01:11:52.920
the OG one? What if you had two?

01:11:52.920 --> 01:11:56.360
I mean, I'll just have to brace myself for all of the...

01:11:56.360 --> 01:12:00.720
Number one Linus TechTips was relatable comments, but other than that, I guess I don't see a

01:12:00.720 --> 01:12:06.160
downside. It would be... Those comments are going to show up anyways.

01:12:06.160 --> 01:12:11.440
There's a lot of aspects of this that would be pretty untrivial to recreate.

01:12:11.440 --> 01:12:14.520
Like we basically have to...

01:12:14.520 --> 01:12:19.760
You could 3D print a lot of it, but like, I'm not going to commit to that.

01:12:19.760 --> 01:12:23.400
I'm definitely not going to commit to that. I wouldn't expect it to do right now either.

01:12:23.400 --> 01:12:29.520
It's just potentially an option. That's sick though. Does the ring around the power button light up?

01:12:29.520 --> 01:12:36.280
It looks like it did in the picture. I believe it does, but I don't think I've ever tried to power this one up.

01:12:36.280 --> 01:12:39.280
You should. We should do it right now. You want to do it right now?

01:12:39.280 --> 01:12:43.040
Let's do it right now. I mean, do you have a C13? We can try.

01:12:43.040 --> 01:12:48.520
I have no idea, man.

01:12:48.520 --> 01:12:54.160
Daniel Besser, I think Luke would like us to obtain a C13 power cable.

01:12:54.160 --> 01:12:59.160
He's on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:12:59.160 --> 01:13:04.640
Dan will have a way. I'm sure. Man, I wish the dings weren't in the front.

01:13:04.640 --> 01:13:08.120
All the dings are in the front. The back is... Okay, no.

01:13:08.120 --> 01:13:11.720
There's some pretty big dings in the back. Okay, the dings are everywhere. Dude, I'm so excited.

01:13:11.720 --> 01:13:15.760
It survived. It's so compact. It's so console-like.

01:13:15.760 --> 01:13:21.080
If Valve had just ponied up and they had done the same thing they did with the Steam

01:13:21.080 --> 01:13:24.400
Deck where they subsidized the hardware.

01:13:24.400 --> 01:13:28.720
I think we would have... I think we'd have a Steam desktop console.

01:13:28.720 --> 01:13:32.680
Yeah. Like, frickin... I mean, the software wasn't ready yet though.

01:13:32.680 --> 01:13:36.600
That's true. It was so far off. They waited for the right time, ultimately.

01:13:36.600 --> 01:13:40.800
Yeah. Letting them cook for longer was also good.

01:13:40.800 --> 01:13:45.720
It was a good thing. Thank you, Mr. Daniel Besser.

01:13:45.720 --> 01:13:48.720
Can we display... It is HDMI, right? Do you want to...?

01:13:48.720 --> 01:13:52.720
Oh, I mean, yeah, I guess. How would you use yours?

01:13:52.720 --> 01:13:55.720
Mine? No.

01:13:55.720 --> 01:13:58.720
Damn it. No.

01:13:58.720 --> 01:14:01.720
What a dick. Did the stream hear that?

01:14:01.720 --> 01:14:04.720
That was good. That was good. That was good.

01:14:04.720 --> 01:14:07.720
That was good. I can't... There you go.

01:14:07.720 --> 01:14:15.240
That was very good. USB? Does it make your mother uncomfortable that we talk about your penis so much on this

01:14:15.240 --> 01:14:19.240
show? Probably. I mean, she's seen it a thousand times already.

01:14:19.240 --> 01:14:22.240
I guess it doesn't really matter. Sorry.

01:14:22.240 --> 01:14:29.240
Not in, like, a weird way, you know, in, like, he was going to be all over himself, you

01:14:29.240 --> 01:14:33.240
know. I was going to say yours, too.

01:14:33.240 --> 01:14:38.240
Okay, let's try to turn it on.

01:14:38.240 --> 01:14:43.240
Yeah, good luck. There's no chicken.

01:14:43.240 --> 01:14:53.240
Yeah, the proximity to discussing people's parents and making seduction jokes is too close,

01:14:53.240 --> 01:14:56.240
Dan. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Too close.

01:14:56.240 --> 01:15:04.240
What's going on here? Well, I don't know. I pressed what I think is the power button, and nothing happened, sir.

01:15:04.240 --> 01:15:07.240
The banner, Dan. The banner?

01:15:07.240 --> 01:15:10.240
Sure. Oh. Oh, yeah, no, they can't...

01:15:10.240 --> 01:15:14.240
I'm working on it. There's not a whole lot to see that isn't happening.

01:15:14.240 --> 01:15:17.240
That was a very nimble and good save. Thank you.

01:15:17.240 --> 01:15:22.240
Did we try to bypass the Trump panel-headers? I mean, yeah, we could. I mean, how much troubleshooting do you want to do on the WAN Show?

01:15:22.240 --> 01:15:26.240
That's not what this show is. This is probably the best and most interesting part of the WAN Show so far.

01:15:26.240 --> 01:15:32.880
Okay. I'm not even... I think you might just be a bit of a Valve fanboy and a little bit extra excited right

01:15:32.880 --> 01:15:37.240
now. The 30% is a lot, okay? The 30% is a large amount.

01:15:38.240 --> 01:15:42.240
Dude, it's like buried in there.

01:15:42.240 --> 01:15:45.240
Bringa Studios video has info for us.

01:15:45.240 --> 01:15:48.240
I'm not going to be able to watch that right now.

01:15:48.240 --> 01:15:51.240
Is this power supply on? Is it outlet work?

01:15:51.240 --> 01:15:54.240
Oh, I don't know.

01:15:54.240 --> 01:15:57.240
I suspect the system is broken, you guys.

01:15:57.240 --> 01:16:01.240
I really don't. I also have to say, of course, Bringa Studios has a video on this.

01:16:01.240 --> 01:16:04.240
There's no power switch on the power supply, so...

01:16:04.240 --> 01:16:08.240
Yeah. Guys, I think he's dead, Jim.

01:16:08.240 --> 01:16:14.240
I think that the best course of action is for us to put new hardware in it and make

01:16:14.240 --> 01:16:18.240
us sick. Anyways, we don't have to, but...

01:16:18.240 --> 01:16:23.240
Sorry, what do you want me to do? You could bypass the pass through and plug directly into the power supply.

01:16:23.240 --> 01:16:26.240
And you could try to bridge the header just in case that's not working.

01:16:26.240 --> 01:16:30.240
I can't reach it. Look, the motherboard's completely covered, brother.

01:16:30.240 --> 01:16:36.240
I'm sure you have an LTTstore.com screwdriver readily accessible at all periods in time.

01:16:36.240 --> 01:16:41.240
Yes, I do. So you can't tell me a few little screws that are going to defeat the great line of Sebastian.

01:16:41.240 --> 01:16:44.240
Do you want me to troubleshoot it back here?

01:16:44.240 --> 01:16:51.240
We could also do that. We could continue the show, and Dan could solve the troubleshooting things.

01:16:51.240 --> 01:16:56.240
Oh, my God, you guys. I could just call Jordan, who is the writer for this project, and be like, hey, have you

01:16:56.240 --> 01:16:59.240
tested the system? Does it work?

01:16:59.240 --> 01:17:02.240
That would probably be easier. Okay, no, it is not that.

01:17:02.240 --> 01:17:05.240
That is not the problem. Okay, cool. One problem down.

01:17:05.240 --> 01:17:09.240
Oh, my God.

01:17:09.240 --> 01:17:13.240
It's good. It's good. You're killing me.

01:17:13.240 --> 01:17:16.240
We don't have to do it, but it's just, it's very interesting.

01:17:16.240 --> 01:17:20.240
For something we don't have to do, you're sure putting an awful lot of pressure to do it.

01:17:20.240 --> 01:17:23.240
Do we really have to do anything?

01:17:23.240 --> 01:17:28.240
What does that even mean? That means that we should do this.

01:17:28.240 --> 01:17:37.240
Fine. We can go as far as bridging the power switch on the motherboard.

01:17:37.240 --> 01:17:42.240
Are we passing it to Dan? Dan's going to have to do it, because we're going to have to do the lens show at some

01:17:42.240 --> 01:17:45.240
point. Yeah, that's fine. All right.

01:17:45.240 --> 01:17:50.240
Dan, come on. Okay. Oh, here it's going the wrong way.

01:17:50.240 --> 01:17:53.240
I got it. Oh, knocked my mic twice there.

01:17:53.240 --> 01:17:56.240
Sorry, people. Okay.

01:17:56.240 --> 01:18:01.940
Now, Dan can't even do his job, which is about to get more difficult because we're about

01:18:01.940 --> 01:18:06.360
to talk about the Creator Warehouse stuff.

01:18:06.360 --> 01:18:11.840
This week, we have an exclusive Floatplane drop on LTTstore.com.

01:18:11.840 --> 01:18:15.140
If you're a Floatplane subscriber, you already know that it's been Sarah Week featuring

01:18:15.140 --> 01:18:19.240
content centering around our designer, Sarah.

01:18:19.240 --> 01:18:24.440
Just today, we released her trip to Dinosaur Town, aka Drum Heller, where she visited the

01:18:24.440 --> 01:18:27.440
Royal Tyrell Museum.

01:18:27.440 --> 01:18:34.000
Point of clarification on that. Did LMG actually pay for her and Sammy to go to Drum Heller?

01:18:34.000 --> 01:18:38.240
I think so. How did that work?

01:18:38.240 --> 01:18:41.920
So that was the video budget.

01:18:41.920 --> 01:18:45.520
So it seems to me...

01:18:45.520 --> 01:18:48.680
So here it is.

01:18:48.680 --> 01:18:51.680
Where was the thing with the... Okay.

01:18:51.680 --> 01:18:57.640
Oh, yeah. It was in the trailer. So yeah, they just went to a dinosaur museum.

01:18:57.640 --> 01:19:05.960
All right. Anywho, getting inspiration from the trip, she designed the Dinosaur T-shirt, exclusive

01:19:05.960 --> 01:19:15.380
to our float goats. It's a retro rendition of a Gorgosaur fossil designed by the one and only, Sarah Butt.

01:19:15.380 --> 01:19:20.320
It's available only while supplies last at LMG.gg slash dinosaur, so you can make sure

01:19:20.320 --> 01:19:24.840
you subscribe over there and check it out.

01:19:24.840 --> 01:19:28.200
Here it is. Well, this museum is huge.

01:19:28.200 --> 01:19:33.840
Design a sore T-shirt. Also photo shoot with jungle.

01:19:33.840 --> 01:19:37.520
This is great. Oh my God, Jamie, how is this guy...

01:19:37.520 --> 01:19:41.680
Dude, I saw the photo earlier. He looks so good in this.

01:19:41.680 --> 01:19:44.680
Seriously. It's fantastic. Seriously.

01:19:44.680 --> 01:19:48.520
Dude, the fit is perfect. Amazing. Good trigger control.

01:19:48.520 --> 01:19:51.760
Look at this. Look at this. Look.

01:19:51.760 --> 01:19:58.360
Quality, quality photo. Incredible. You know, never explore the prehistoric jungle without your Apple Watch.

01:19:58.360 --> 01:20:01.360
Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Why would you?

01:20:01.360 --> 01:20:08.360
Why would you indeed? But that's not all. We're also offering everybody a chance to save this weekend with 10% off all digital

01:20:18.160 --> 01:20:23.500
Page not found. Hold on a second. Is that not real?

01:20:23.500 --> 01:20:26.540
Luke, is that...

01:20:26.540 --> 01:20:29.540
Are you... It worked for me.

01:20:29.540 --> 01:20:34.340
Okay. So here's the U.S. site.

01:20:34.340 --> 01:20:39.140
Select denomination. And what happens if I add it to cart?

01:20:39.140 --> 01:20:44.740
Uh-huh. Okay. It is discounted by $10.

01:20:44.740 --> 01:20:48.580
Oh, this is going to be a problem. Is it?

01:20:48.580 --> 01:21:03.820
For us, because you can send a merch message by buying $100 for $90.

01:21:03.820 --> 01:21:07.380
See I knew we were going to do a gift card discount promo.

01:21:07.380 --> 01:21:17.780
I didn't think we were going to do it now before Black Friday.

01:21:17.780 --> 01:21:22.140
Hold on a second. This may go away.

01:21:22.140 --> 01:21:26.940
One moment, please. I need to make a call.

01:21:26.940 --> 01:21:30.820
You probably shouldn't have said that. I didn't even think about that at all.

01:21:30.820 --> 01:21:39.500
When's Black Friday? Not yet. I need to make a really quick call here.

01:21:39.500 --> 01:21:43.900
Remember 28th. Oh, it's not for a while. That's not the point.

01:21:43.900 --> 01:21:50.100
The point is that Black Friday will already be discounted. Hey, look, the only good thing about teams.

01:21:50.100 --> 01:21:54.060
What? The song. Yeah, but that's just from Skype.

01:21:54.060 --> 01:21:57.060
Uh-huh. They just remixed Skype. Uh-huh.

01:21:57.060 --> 01:22:09.020
Okay, he's not picking up.

01:22:09.020 --> 01:22:12.500
Hathos asks, Linus, can you use a gift card to buy a gift card?

01:22:12.500 --> 01:22:18.980
If I buy a $100 gift card for $90, then use that $100 gift card to buy another $100 gift

01:22:18.980 --> 01:22:22.140
card for $90. Did you guys think about that?

01:22:22.140 --> 01:22:25.140
How would you do that? Hold on. How would you not do that?

01:22:25.140 --> 01:22:28.260
Is that buying? Can I use that to buy another?

01:22:28.260 --> 01:22:32.060
No, I don't think you can do that.

01:22:32.060 --> 01:22:35.060
Yeah. Okay. Okay.

01:22:35.060 --> 01:22:42.100
Okay. Do you want to do a topic really quick?

01:22:42.700 --> 01:22:46.700
Sure. I just did to find out what's going on. Can I just do the other two sponsors, Dan?

01:22:46.700 --> 01:22:49.700
No, no, no, no. We should do some topics.

01:22:49.700 --> 01:22:53.580
Okay. Do you have any that I could do?

01:22:53.580 --> 01:22:58.900
Yeah, we should do a couple of merge messages. Not directly for you.

01:22:58.900 --> 01:23:02.020
If there's general ones, I can do those, or I can talk about...

01:23:02.020 --> 01:23:07.660
We should explain merge messages. So the way to send a merge message is to add something to your card on lttstore.com.

01:23:07.660 --> 01:23:13.180
Once you add something to your cart, say, for example, okay.

01:23:13.180 --> 01:23:17.020
So once you add something to your cart, say, for example, one of our new t-shirt colors

01:23:17.020 --> 01:23:22.660
available in long sleeve and short sleeve and available in regular and tall lengths.

01:23:22.660 --> 01:23:26.380
That's right. Let's go. So you could get a tall, medium shirt.

01:23:26.380 --> 01:23:29.540
My God, is this ever a lot of skews. Imagine it all.

01:23:29.540 --> 01:23:33.860
Imagine all of these colors in different lengths, in different sizes, and imagine why...

01:23:33.860 --> 01:23:37.820
Out of stock. Some of them are out of stock. It totally makes sense if you think about it.

01:23:37.820 --> 01:23:41.780
Anyway, the point is you add that to your cart and you'll see the interface for merge

01:23:41.780 --> 01:23:46.620
messages. You can either make it anonymous or you can show your first name and last initial.

01:23:46.620 --> 01:23:52.780
You can leave a merge message for the show. It'll go to producer Dan, who is working on a computer and also will reply to your merge

01:23:52.780 --> 01:23:59.620
message. Yeah, you can do both. We think merge messages are great because instead of just throwing money at your screen,

01:23:59.620 --> 01:24:03.180
we don't... We don't really want your donations.

01:24:03.180 --> 01:24:08.100
We would much rather that you just get some high-quality merchandise in the mail if you

01:24:08.100 --> 01:24:13.500
want to support the show. So lttstore.com, go send a merge message.

01:24:13.500 --> 01:24:17.300
Right. Well, we are right. Dan's going to have us reply to a couple of merge messages.

01:24:17.300 --> 01:24:21.460
That's what happens when he curates them. This was the most disjointed merge message thing ever.

01:24:21.460 --> 01:24:26.100
I really want to know what's going on with this gift card promo.

01:24:26.100 --> 01:24:30.300
Make another call. I have one here for Luke.

01:24:30.300 --> 01:24:36.940
So hi, LLD. Luke, did you get a chance to tour any ESA facilities in Germany?

01:24:36.940 --> 01:24:42.660
They held their open days roughly at the same time as IFA.

01:24:42.660 --> 01:24:48.460
I had no idea that was a thing. I had no idea they even ever did that, let alone that it happened while I was there.

01:24:48.460 --> 01:24:52.340
That would have been sick. I would have 1,000% did that. Done that.

01:24:52.340 --> 01:24:56.300
ESA is the European Space Agency, just in case people did not know.

01:24:56.300 --> 01:25:00.300
Oh, no. Oh, no.

01:25:01.300 --> 01:25:04.300
Oh, no. Just leave it.

01:25:04.300 --> 01:25:08.300
Yeah, anyways, separate thing. But yeah, I know that's really cool.

01:25:08.300 --> 01:25:11.300
I like that they do open days. It was really fun.

01:25:11.300 --> 01:25:20.300
I don't think it got a crazy amount of views. I don't know if it was the title or something, but you guys should go watch a Linus video.

01:25:20.300 --> 01:25:25.300
Did it end up doing better? Did I just bad talk it for no reason?

01:25:25.300 --> 01:25:28.300
I did, but you should go watch it anyways because it deserves even more views.

01:25:28.300 --> 01:25:33.300
The Canada's Las Vegas sphere is here and I game on it video is awesome.

01:25:33.300 --> 01:25:40.300
There's a place up here called the H.R. McMillan Space Center or something, but there's a thing

01:25:40.300 --> 01:25:44.300
that they call the Planetarium in there, which is this really, really cool theater.

01:25:44.300 --> 01:25:51.300
Basically, everyone that lives here when they were a kid went to go see things on the Planetarium

01:25:51.300 --> 01:25:55.300
and remembers that experience because it's just awesome.

01:25:55.300 --> 01:25:59.300
They're doing an upgrade to it that looks amazing.

01:25:59.300 --> 01:26:05.300
Linus got some really cool behind the scenes access to the hardware and how they're doing it

01:26:05.300 --> 01:26:09.300
and some of the history of that place because it's genuinely really interesting.

01:26:09.300 --> 01:26:14.300
They play a game on it and even just the act of playing the game on it is really interesting

01:26:14.300 --> 01:26:17.300
because of how they have to warp it to make it work on that screen.

01:26:17.300 --> 01:26:22.300
The screen having holes in it so you can hear acoustics through the screen.

01:26:23.300 --> 01:26:27.300
It's a very interesting video. Space stuff is cool.

01:26:27.300 --> 01:26:30.300
I don't really have anything else to say. I wish I knew that ESA thing.

01:26:30.300 --> 01:26:33.300
I will keep that in mind in the future, but yeah.

01:26:33.300 --> 01:26:39.300
Someone in chat, Cam Stabro said, I have very positive memories of H.R. McMillan.

01:26:39.300 --> 01:26:46.300
Everyone I know that's been there when they were a kid has very positive memories of H.R. McMillan.

01:26:46.300 --> 01:26:50.300
I cannot reach Dave. This is my fault.

01:26:50.300 --> 01:26:59.300
He messaged me before the show today at yesterday.

01:26:59.300 --> 01:27:02.300
Sounds good.

01:27:02.300 --> 01:27:07.300
We are testing a 10% gift card promotion this weekend to see how it goes.

01:27:09.300 --> 01:27:15.300
I had a full day and five and a half hours to say,

01:27:15.300 --> 01:27:19.300
oh my God, no, not before Black Friday.

01:27:22.300 --> 01:27:24.300
What are you changing, Dan?

01:27:28.300 --> 01:27:30.300
Let's leave it till midnight.

01:27:32.300 --> 01:27:38.300
Anyone who watches live or watches the VOD immediately, my loss is your gain.

01:27:38.300 --> 01:27:41.300
If you buy gift cards with gift cards, we will cancel the whole thing.

01:27:42.300 --> 01:27:45.300
That's how I was just going to message you.

01:27:45.300 --> 01:27:52.300
Okay. We good? Do we have an accord? Please buy something profitable with it.

01:27:52.300 --> 01:27:58.300
Because you could absolutely go from the cheapest gift card to the most expensive one.

01:27:58.300 --> 01:28:02.300
I know. And multiples of the most expensive one. But if you do that, we will cancel your order.

01:28:02.300 --> 01:28:11.300
So there's really no point doing that. Whereas if you do this now in good faith and order one gift card with the discount,

01:28:11.300 --> 01:28:18.300
then we will leave it alone. We will honor it even though I think the timing for this is...

01:28:18.300 --> 01:28:22.300
You just know there was some person sitting at their computer,

01:28:22.300 --> 01:28:26.300
infinite money glitching gift cards that just went, oh.

01:28:26.300 --> 01:28:30.300
Some person? Probably a bunch.

01:28:30.300 --> 01:28:33.300
Guys, come on.

01:28:33.300 --> 01:28:36.300
Yeah, wild.

01:28:36.300 --> 01:28:41.300
4.5 said, what's profitable? I will show you how to tell.

01:28:41.300 --> 01:28:50.300
So, okay. If something has a little discount, little nice discount, probably profitable.

01:28:50.300 --> 01:28:56.300
If something has a... Let's see, do we still have the...

01:28:56.300 --> 01:29:00.300
Oh, yeah, no, the Uber clearance stuff is gone.

01:29:00.300 --> 01:29:07.300
So if something has an Uber clearance, like 50% plus discount, 40% discount on it,

01:29:07.300 --> 01:29:11.300
probably it's a loss leader. That's generally the way to tell.

01:29:11.300 --> 01:29:14.300
So just, yeah, do me a solid.

01:29:14.300 --> 01:29:19.300
If you must have it before Black Friday, just don't just load up on loss leaders.

01:29:19.300 --> 01:29:23.300
If you could just find something else as well, that would be swell.

01:29:23.300 --> 01:29:27.300
So it sounds like they do block it, Dan, from what people in Full Play Chat are saying,

01:29:27.300 --> 01:29:32.300
is you can't buy just a gift card with just a gift card.

01:29:32.300 --> 01:29:36.300
Yeah, that wouldn't make any sense. But you can split the transaction.

01:29:36.300 --> 01:29:39.300
You could buy just a gift card with a gift card and some money.

01:29:39.300 --> 01:29:42.300
Oh, okay. Don't do that.

01:29:42.300 --> 01:29:46.300
That's the gist that I'm getting. Okay.

01:29:46.300 --> 01:29:50.300
Okay, cool.

01:29:50.300 --> 01:29:53.300
Okay, cool. Good chat.

01:29:53.300 --> 01:30:01.300
Style451 says, so the gift cards are profitable with their teeny, tiny 10% discount.

01:30:01.300 --> 01:30:04.300
Not how that works.

01:30:04.300 --> 01:30:07.300
Okay, oh my God.

01:30:07.300 --> 01:30:11.300
Oh my God, there's 42 merge messages in the queue.

01:30:11.300 --> 01:30:14.300
We have made a terrible mistake.

01:30:14.300 --> 01:30:18.300
How are you doing, Dan? What have you done?

01:30:18.300 --> 01:30:21.300
Technically, it wasn't him. Yeah.

01:30:21.300 --> 01:30:24.300
Usually it is, and I'm down with that. Okay.

01:30:24.300 --> 01:30:29.300
But this time. Oh, man. Okay, let's just do a topic.

01:30:29.300 --> 01:30:33.300
Why don't we do a topic? Let's pick some good news.

01:30:33.300 --> 01:30:38.300
Let's see. South Korean government loses a bunch of money in a fire or data in a fire.

01:30:38.300 --> 01:30:41.300
Oh, no. Logitech bricks, it's pop smart home buttons.

01:30:41.300 --> 01:30:44.300
No, no. Qualcomm acquires are doing it.

01:30:44.300 --> 01:30:48.300
No. Ford is locking basic navigation behind a subscription.

01:30:48.300 --> 01:30:51.300
No. Oh, Synology. Yeah.

01:30:51.300 --> 01:30:55.300
Hey, this isn't someone that I was expecting to give good news on.

01:30:55.300 --> 01:31:04.300
No. But on October 8th, Synology announced DSM 7.3 along with expanded storage flexibility,

01:31:04.300 --> 01:31:09.300
which less storage flexibility is what that means.

01:31:09.300 --> 01:31:15.300
Yeah. That means temporarily for a short period of time they had reduced storage flexibility

01:31:15.300 --> 01:31:18.300
and they are back to status quo.

01:31:18.300 --> 01:31:24.300
They have walked back the unpopular change that restricted the use of third party hard

01:31:24.300 --> 01:31:29.300
drives that they made earlier this year. Literally, it didn't even last for a year.

01:31:29.300 --> 01:31:34.300
Synology stated in their announcement, this provides users greater flexibility while Synology

01:31:34.300 --> 01:31:38.300
continues to expand the lineup of officially verified drives that meet long term reliability

01:31:38.300 --> 01:31:46.620
standards. By the way, full disclosure, I am invested in Ashtek, the makers of HexOS, who are making

01:31:46.620 --> 01:31:52.060
an operating system that I hope will make Synology completely obsolete someday.

01:31:52.060 --> 01:31:57.540
So far, they're not there yet, but they do have some big news today.

01:31:57.540 --> 01:32:03.300
So it's actually kind of convenient that Synology gave us a reason to talk about them today.

01:32:03.300 --> 01:32:06.300
Add closure, not disclosure. Am I right, audience?

01:32:06.300 --> 01:32:13.020
What? Add closure? If I had full disclosure, I'm invested in HexOS also there, amazing, look at all these

01:32:13.020 --> 01:32:17.660
cool features. That sounds like an add closure, not a disclosure.

01:32:17.660 --> 01:32:20.660
You want me to hear something? Deal with it.

01:32:20.660 --> 01:32:23.660
No. Okay. I don't know.

01:32:23.660 --> 01:32:28.980
Do John text me? I'm not invested in either of these companies and what Synology did sucked and calling it

01:32:28.980 --> 01:32:36.900
expanded storage flexibility is also just complete BS and makes me even not more upset

01:32:36.900 --> 01:32:40.620
than the original status, but I am now still displeased.

01:32:40.620 --> 01:32:43.620
Okay. Man. Dude.

01:32:43.620 --> 01:32:46.820
And I have a Synology device at home. Okay.

01:32:46.820 --> 01:32:49.820
What is going on? So I click the blog. I'm not aiming to not use it in the future.

01:32:49.820 --> 01:32:54.260
Thinking I would find the update, but it's not in the blog. It's apparently in Docs.

01:32:54.260 --> 01:32:57.260
What? What did? Okay.

01:32:57.260 --> 01:33:01.860
Docs.hexos.com slash blog.

01:33:01.860 --> 01:33:04.860
Do you have two blogs? Hey.

01:33:04.860 --> 01:33:08.060
That's illegal. I don't think it's issued one blog.

01:33:08.060 --> 01:33:11.540
They have two blogs. Don't do that.

01:33:11.540 --> 01:33:14.860
Ash tech. Just okay. It doesn't matter.

01:33:14.860 --> 01:33:19.540
The point is by enabling experimental features and settings preferences, you can now access

01:33:19.540 --> 01:33:22.540
the custom script option for app installs.

01:33:22.540 --> 01:33:28.180
This is one of the big features that I think is going to really set Hexos apart is easy

01:33:28.180 --> 01:33:31.740
installation of curated apps.

01:33:31.740 --> 01:33:35.460
From there, you can tweak existing install scripts, create entirely new ones and share

01:33:35.460 --> 01:33:40.500
them with the community or submit them to the official Hexos curation templates.

01:33:40.500 --> 01:33:46.140
This is pretty cool. They also launched their official documentation site, a centralized resources to bring together

01:33:46.140 --> 01:33:50.300
getting started guides, feature documentation, troubleshooting help, et cetera.

01:33:50.300 --> 01:33:57.020
First flight improvements. This was actually based on Robert Oaks, who's one of our editors.

01:33:57.020 --> 01:34:02.620
We did his AMD ultimate tech upgrade very recently. I think it's coming, going up in the next few days.

01:34:02.860 --> 01:34:06.660
I ran into some issues with the first flight, the sort of setup wizard.

01:34:06.660 --> 01:34:09.660
I was like, hey, can you fix that? They did.

01:34:09.660 --> 01:34:14.660
Pretty neat. Folder wizard, much like manual pool creation, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

01:34:14.660 --> 01:34:24.060
Looking ahead. This is a big deal because one of the big criticisms of Hexos back when they first announced it

01:34:24.060 --> 01:34:30.900
was, hey, why do I need an account and why do I need to access the control dashboard for

01:34:30.900 --> 01:34:40.180
a NAS? My NAS with my hard drives, with my data on them through a cloud interface.

01:34:40.180 --> 01:34:46.420
The Hexos team heard that feedback and said, hey, before we go out of beta, we will have

01:34:46.420 --> 01:34:52.340
a local UI. There are reasons that we had to do it this way first, but before we go out of beta, we

01:34:52.340 --> 01:34:55.420
will have a local UI and it's coming.

01:34:55.420 --> 01:35:00.180
The command deck remains our primary interface for initial setup and for remote access, but

01:35:00.180 --> 01:35:04.140
the local UI ensures you'll have access to the Hexos interface for system management

01:35:04.140 --> 01:35:10.460
even during command deck maintenance Windows. This is a core component of our 1.0 release.

01:35:10.460 --> 01:35:18.820
They're getting that going. John also asked me so very nicely, so this is the only reason that I'm going to, oh,

01:35:18.820 --> 01:35:21.820
what? Got them. Well, whatever.

01:35:21.820 --> 01:35:24.820
They're hiring. Got them. They're apparently hiring and I can't click this topic.

01:35:24.820 --> 01:35:28.540
Get wrecked, John. That's what happens. No.

01:35:28.540 --> 01:35:35.100
That's what happens. You ask me to shout something out and you have a permissions issue, you get nothing.

01:35:35.100 --> 01:35:41.300
That's how it works. Sorry, John. All right, what else are we supposed to be talking about?

01:35:41.300 --> 01:35:47.140
Okay, let's talk about Logitech breaking these PopSmart home buttons.

01:35:47.140 --> 01:35:52.860
Breaking hate this stuff. And this is why it was so important to the community that, you know, Hexos not just

01:35:52.860 --> 01:35:58.500
be like, yeah, no, you know, yeah, someday we'll have a local access option.

01:35:58.500 --> 01:36:02.340
That is not okay. Because it's not okay. And they get it.

01:36:02.340 --> 01:36:05.740
They 100% get it now. But this is why people were butthurt about it.

01:36:05.740 --> 01:36:09.420
Because anything that relies on a cloud service doesn't belong to you.

01:36:09.420 --> 01:36:17.620
Very appropriately butthurt. Logitech is emailing PopSmart home users to inform them that as of October 15th, five

01:36:17.620 --> 01:36:25.060
days from now, all Logitech Pop buttons and their associated hubs will lose all functionality.

01:36:25.060 --> 01:36:29.060
We talked about this last week. I don't think so.

01:36:29.060 --> 01:36:35.940
Okay. Okay. Logitech emailed users on September 29th announcing the shutdown, giving users less

01:36:35.940 --> 01:36:39.020
than three weeks to do anything about it.

01:36:39.020 --> 01:36:45.660
As compensation, Logitech is offering a 15% discount coupon for select Logitech products

01:36:45.660 --> 01:36:49.460
in the US. Can you think?

01:36:49.460 --> 01:36:52.700
They're, they're a handyman just linked.

01:36:52.700 --> 01:36:56.220
Their doc site has the cruise thing and you could read it.

01:36:56.220 --> 01:37:00.340
No, I won't. They get nothing.

01:37:00.340 --> 01:37:06.100
That's pretty good.

01:37:06.100 --> 01:37:10.740
Can you think of a more insulting solution?

01:37:10.740 --> 01:37:17.820
Remember, we just talked about, we just talked about how much of a discount, right, is probably

01:37:17.820 --> 01:37:27.540
still profitable. Do you remember that conversation? So they are offering you an opportunity for them to profit on a new purchase after they

01:37:27.540 --> 01:37:32.620
just fucked you.

01:37:32.620 --> 01:37:35.620
What is this? Select products?

01:37:35.620 --> 01:37:39.540
You're not even going to let me buy any product I want.

01:37:39.540 --> 01:37:42.780
And why is it only in the US? Select products.

01:37:42.780 --> 01:37:47.180
I didn't actually realize the select products. If it's not profitable at 15% off.

01:37:47.180 --> 01:37:50.300
Dude, what even is this? Can't buy that one.

01:37:50.300 --> 01:37:54.900
Like a 15% discount is not an apology.

01:37:54.900 --> 01:38:00.860
That's like a, that's a retention marketing strategy.

01:38:00.860 --> 01:38:04.300
That's like, that's a mail out coupon.

01:38:04.300 --> 01:38:11.980
This is wild. The POP system was launched in August 2016 to allow users to trigger smart home actions,

01:38:11.980 --> 01:38:17.980
Phillips Hue, Sonos, et cetera, with a starter kit priced at $100 and individual add-on buttons

01:38:17.980 --> 01:38:25.860
at $40. Our discussion question is, how do you think Logitech could have better handled this situation

01:38:25.860 --> 01:38:31.980
and what do you think is an appropriate end of life cycle for a piece of technology?

01:38:31.980 --> 01:38:37.420
Well, yeah, they could have handled this better and the proper way to handle this is to open

01:38:37.420 --> 01:38:43.020
source it. That's the only proper way to handle it at this point.

01:38:44.020 --> 01:38:49.980
And if you don't want to, because you're still using that stuff, maintain it.

01:38:49.980 --> 01:38:55.180
Yeah. Do you want to take one?

01:38:55.180 --> 01:38:58.180
Sure. Ford. Do we do Ford?

01:38:58.180 --> 01:39:01.180
No. I'm going to scroll up.

01:39:01.180 --> 01:39:04.700
There's stuff up here, right? Discussion on settlements.

01:39:04.700 --> 01:39:07.700
You want to do that? Yeah, we could do that. Sure.

01:39:07.700 --> 01:39:16.820
Discussion on settlements. Week on the LTT Reddit, a fan posted a story about how they received $1 of credit for a

01:39:16.820 --> 01:39:20.900
parking app that had data leak back into 2021.

01:39:20.900 --> 01:39:29.100
In total, the attorneys for the case were paid $6.2 million, seven class reps received

01:39:29.100 --> 01:39:38.220
$5K each, and the rest of the $31 million was paid out in $1 credits to the customers.

01:39:38.740 --> 01:39:46.740
But wait, there's more. The credit is actually $0.25 that has to be used four times across four purchases.

01:39:48.740 --> 01:39:53.540
The notice of this compensation also came with notes about data security improvements,

01:39:53.540 --> 01:39:58.780
but ultimately stated that the company, Park Mobile, was never found liable for anything.

01:39:58.780 --> 01:40:03.380
Rather, the settlement was reached to allow the company to continue focusing on providing

01:40:03.380 --> 01:40:12.380
excellent service for its customers. If people don't claim credits or money or whatever it is from class action suits, what

01:40:12.380 --> 01:40:15.460
happens to the money? I'll be honest with you.

01:40:15.460 --> 01:40:22.140
I don't know. I assume the lawyers figure that out, so I assume it's helpful to the lawyers.

01:40:22.140 --> 01:40:26.900
I literally do not know that, though.

01:40:26.900 --> 01:40:32.540
Not legal advice, unbelievable.

01:40:32.540 --> 01:40:36.420
Is it even worth the company to give out $1 to its customers?

01:40:36.420 --> 01:40:39.780
What's the point if they claim they aren't liable?

01:40:39.780 --> 01:40:43.660
Well, the point is that the lawyers get paid.

01:40:43.660 --> 01:40:49.300
What's the point to the company, though, if the company is saying that they're not liable?

01:40:49.300 --> 01:40:53.780
If they just want the suit end because they were spending so much money on legal?

01:40:53.780 --> 01:41:00.700
It just ends it. That's the point of any legal settlement is you either get so sick of litigating it

01:41:00.700 --> 01:41:05.980
and everyone's tired of it, so you just reach a settlement.

01:41:05.980 --> 01:41:10.500
Wanting to avoid a legal precedent is another reason that companies will often try to settle

01:41:10.500 --> 01:41:16.180
because if it goes to full trial, then now it's legal precedent.

01:41:16.180 --> 01:41:20.300
Now, it could impact future cases, whereas a settlement can't.

01:41:20.300 --> 01:41:25.060
You might settle, and part of your condition for settling might be no admission of wrong

01:41:25.060 --> 01:41:30.780
doing, whereas if you don't settle and, again, it goes to a full trial, then you will have

01:41:30.780 --> 01:41:37.180
to admit wrong doing. There's a lot of different reasons that you might want to settle, for sure.

01:41:37.180 --> 01:41:41.700
If you think it's going to end up costing you even more, then you might want to settle.

01:41:41.700 --> 01:41:46.420
There's at least four reasons. It's interesting that it's a credit for their own service.

01:41:46.420 --> 01:41:50.500
I know, right? I'm assuming that they make more than $0.25 per transaction.

01:41:50.500 --> 01:41:55.100
I would think so on parking. So again, it's just a profitable discount.

01:41:55.100 --> 01:42:04.980
It's not. The fact that they make you spread a $1 credit across four purchases is all the proof in

01:42:04.980 --> 01:42:11.060
the world that you could possibly need, that the lawyers negotiating this on behalf of

01:42:11.060 --> 01:42:16.940
the people whose data was breached, right?

01:42:16.940 --> 01:42:23.420
Do not care about any kind of justice.

01:42:23.420 --> 01:42:28.860
Data breach stuff like this is really interesting, though, because this genuinely happens all

01:42:28.860 --> 01:42:33.500
the time, and most of them don't go to class actions.

01:42:33.500 --> 01:42:38.100
So that's, yeah, what does that even mean?

01:42:38.100 --> 01:42:44.260
I used to check how I've been pwned all the time, not to check my emails if I go pwn,

01:42:44.260 --> 01:42:49.180
but just to see what's going on, and I almost don't even bother anymore because it's just

01:42:49.180 --> 01:43:03.220
constant. Look at these stats, dude, 15.11 billion pwned accounts.

01:43:03.220 --> 01:43:09.140
Nice. Nice sort by breach date.

01:43:09.140 --> 01:43:15.700
There we go. Oh, look at all those from 2025. Look at this scrollable list from 2025.

01:43:15.700 --> 01:43:19.420
This stuff is just all of the way, when does it, there we go.

01:43:19.420 --> 01:43:24.900
It stops there finally. Floatplane chats having a field day with this.

01:43:24.900 --> 01:43:31.660
Donut711 says, I got charged a 35 cent transaction fee in this app on free parking the other

01:43:31.660 --> 01:43:36.900
day. So this is great.

01:43:36.900 --> 01:43:40.580
MavsGuy842 says, the lawyers should get paid an app credit too.

01:43:40.580 --> 01:43:44.740
Yeah, they should have gotten $6.2 million in parking credit.

01:43:44.740 --> 01:43:50.580
Rightly, if it's good enough for the people whose data was stolen, why isn't it good enough

01:43:50.580 --> 01:43:57.820
for the lawyers? I understand the lawyers got to make money in these situations, $6.2 million is crazy,

01:43:57.820 --> 01:44:01.820
but then also how many of them were there and how long did they work it and stuff like

01:44:01.820 --> 01:44:05.540
that. It happened back in 2021, right?

01:44:05.540 --> 01:44:10.300
So like, I don't know, but then the payout is just so lame.

01:44:10.300 --> 01:44:16.580
Yeah, and I get that stuff like this is supposed to be punitive, right?

01:44:16.580 --> 01:44:26.540
But hold on a second, because they only actually paid $6.2 million plus another $35,000.

01:44:26.540 --> 01:44:33.940
The rest of the $31 million was in $1 credits that have to be used over four times parking.

01:44:33.940 --> 01:44:42.180
So that was, I guarantee you their margin on those, so what does that work out to?

01:44:42.180 --> 01:44:57.180
So $31 million times four. So we're talking about 124 million parking instances at $0.25 discount each.

01:44:57.180 --> 01:45:04.980
They're going to make more than $6.2 million if people actually redeem the $31 million.

01:45:04.980 --> 01:45:08.860
So it's free real estate. Yeah, it really is.

01:45:08.860 --> 01:45:13.820
I really wonder what percentage of class action payouts are actually redeemed.

01:45:13.820 --> 01:45:22.260
I suspect it's surprisingly low because most of the time they're such low payouts.

01:45:22.260 --> 01:45:25.340
This is a comically low one. I wouldn't bother for a dollar.

01:45:25.340 --> 01:45:28.420
Exactly. So what an insane percentage of this.

01:45:28.420 --> 01:45:34.060
Okay, here, actually, this is kind of an interesting conversation. I'd love for you guys to kind of participate in this too.

01:45:34.060 --> 01:45:39.100
Give me your line, okay? It's a dollar, okay?

01:45:39.100 --> 01:45:44.420
So whether it's an American bill or it's a Canadian coin, you know what?

01:45:44.420 --> 01:45:47.700
Let's assume it's an American bill. It's an American dollar.

01:45:47.700 --> 01:45:51.660
Okay, let's start with an easy one.

01:45:51.660 --> 01:45:55.100
It's stuck to the bottom of your shoe. Do you pick it up?

01:45:55.100 --> 01:45:58.100
Yeah. Okay, of course. You put it in your wallet.

01:45:58.100 --> 01:46:00.100
Yeah. Okay.

01:46:01.100 --> 01:46:09.740
Um, it is, you are walking down the sidewalk and it is on the grass to the side of the

01:46:09.740 --> 01:46:12.740
sidewalk. For sure. Okay.

01:46:12.740 --> 01:46:18.900
For sure. Okay. It is laying over, actually, no, here's an easier one.

01:46:18.900 --> 01:46:24.620
It's in a tree and you have to pull yourself up a branch in order to reach it.

01:46:24.620 --> 01:46:32.780
Definitely. Okay. It's on a storm drain, kind of hanging over one of the, one of the grates and it's wet.

01:46:32.780 --> 01:46:41.940
Yes. Okay. It is on the floor of a bathroom.

01:46:41.940 --> 01:46:44.940
It's American too, right? It escalated quickly. It's an American dollar.

01:46:44.940 --> 01:46:47.940
So it's like dollar 40. Cloth, aren't they? It's a dollar 40.

01:46:47.940 --> 01:46:50.940
Because the Canadian ones are plastic. They're cotton, baby. So they're cotton.

01:46:50.940 --> 01:46:54.140
They're cotton, baby. So I want you guys, I want you guys participating.

01:46:54.140 --> 01:46:57.300
I want you guys participating. I will leave the feces dollar.

01:46:57.300 --> 01:47:01.740
Okay. What if it's just a urine dollar?

01:47:01.740 --> 01:47:04.740
I would leave the urine dollar. It's a cotton bill.

01:47:04.740 --> 01:47:08.300
Let's say it's not, okay, hold on. Oh, we're going to find his line. We're going to find his line.

01:47:08.300 --> 01:47:11.300
We're going to find his line. It's not near the urinal. Okay.

01:47:11.300 --> 01:47:15.860
It's by the door. It's by the door. I have seen what people do to bathrooms, brother.

01:47:15.860 --> 01:47:18.860
Okay. Forget the bathroom. Forget the bathroom.

01:47:18.860 --> 01:47:21.860
Okay. Okay. It is.

01:47:21.860 --> 01:47:30.380
I'm leaving that one the heck alone. Okay. It's on the floor of a commercial kitchen.

01:47:30.380 --> 01:47:36.460
Near where they cook. Man, it varies like a lot depending on the kitchen.

01:47:36.460 --> 01:47:43.460
Church is chicken. No. I'll leave that one alone.

01:47:43.460 --> 01:47:46.460
Okay. Okay. Hold on.

01:47:46.460 --> 01:47:52.180
Hold on. Let me, let me try to think. I want to try and nail this down because the bathroom really did feel like a big escalation

01:47:52.180 --> 01:47:55.180
out. It was pretty big. I was kind of hoping.

01:47:55.180 --> 01:47:58.180
Oh. Okay. Okay.

01:47:58.180 --> 01:48:01.180
Here's one. Yeah. It's kitchen.

01:48:01.180 --> 01:48:04.180
Have you guys worked in commercial kitchens? There's a reason why they have so many rats. Anyways.

01:48:04.180 --> 01:48:08.220
Okay. It's not a public bathroom now. It's the bathroom at your parents' house.

01:48:08.220 --> 01:48:11.220
Oh, yeah. Sure. Okay.

01:48:11.220 --> 01:48:14.220
So that's fine. Yeah. So that's the line then.

01:48:14.220 --> 01:48:20.940
Okay. There's an enormous gap between most people's home bathrooms, let alone my parents, and

01:48:20.940 --> 01:48:26.660
a public bathroom. Sure. Oh, that's some bad experiences on some recent trips.

01:48:26.660 --> 01:48:29.660
Okay. Oh, here's an interesting one.

01:48:29.660 --> 01:48:33.340
Okay. So back to the one that was on the grass.

01:48:33.340 --> 01:48:37.180
And there's a dog turd near it.

01:48:37.180 --> 01:48:40.260
Near it? Near it? Near it's fine.

01:48:40.260 --> 01:48:43.620
But it's a windy.

01:48:43.620 --> 01:48:47.980
Still probably fine. So you don't know for sure that it didn't touch the dog turd.

01:48:47.980 --> 01:48:51.940
It's downwind of the dog turd, but not by much. Still probably okay.

01:48:51.940 --> 01:48:56.780
There's no visible mark. So do you check it before you pick it up?

01:48:56.780 --> 01:49:00.380
Yeah. But like as I'm walking up to it, I'm like, yeah. Okay.

01:49:00.380 --> 01:49:03.580
So you intend to pick it up and you're going to look for a skid mark on your dollar bill?

01:49:03.580 --> 01:49:06.580
Yeah. Okay. If there's a skid mark, that thing ain't moving.

01:49:06.580 --> 01:49:09.580
Okay. Got it. Got it.

01:49:09.580 --> 01:49:12.580
Got it. Got it. Okay.

01:49:12.580 --> 01:49:17.060
I think we've found your line basically as long as it's clean. I was expecting you to do more on the like having to do work to get to it.

01:49:17.060 --> 01:49:20.540
I was just going to keep saying, yeah. Yeah. I kind of figured I wasn't getting anywhere with that.

01:49:20.620 --> 01:49:24.740
It just makes it a game. And then it's fun. It's not even about the dollar anymore.

01:49:24.740 --> 01:49:27.940
It's just, okay. There's a goal. Can I accomplish goal?

01:49:27.940 --> 01:49:30.940
Sure. That's the interest. So that, whatever.

01:49:30.940 --> 01:49:33.980
When it gets to like, is this dollar a health risk?

01:49:33.980 --> 01:49:36.980
It's like, yeah. Okay. How about this though?

01:49:36.980 --> 01:49:40.340
So you are in a hurry. Okay.

01:49:40.340 --> 01:49:46.140
Okay. You're in enough of a hurry that you are, that you are jogging.

01:49:46.140 --> 01:49:50.420
Ooh. Okay. It's on the other side of the street.

01:49:50.420 --> 01:49:56.340
There's no cars. No. You're going this way and that way.

01:49:56.340 --> 01:50:00.700
You're going to go to the next intersection. You're going to go right. It's on the left side of the street.

01:50:00.700 --> 01:50:04.940
There are hurries that are not that big of a hurry that I will jog for.

01:50:04.940 --> 01:50:08.780
So it's still kind of depends. You're on your trip to, your last trip to Germany.

01:50:08.780 --> 01:50:11.940
No, I don't get it.

01:50:11.940 --> 01:50:15.100
Okay. So there's the line.

01:50:15.100 --> 01:50:20.660
Nothing to do with human or animal waste is a no go.

01:50:20.660 --> 01:50:23.820
There are definitely kitchens, there are definitely commercial kitchens where I would pick it

01:50:23.820 --> 01:50:28.020
up off the ground. Okay. There are also very disgusting commercial kitchens.

01:50:28.020 --> 01:50:34.380
And then out of the way is fine as long as I was already playing Pokemon Go anyway.

01:50:34.380 --> 01:50:37.980
Yeah. The point is to walk.

01:50:37.980 --> 01:50:40.980
So yeah, sure. Whatever. I don't care.

01:50:40.980 --> 01:50:47.740
Got it. Okay. There are some things where like there is an incredibly minor gain for this like incredibly

01:50:47.740 --> 01:50:50.980
long amount of walking that I could do and I'll just be like, yeah, sure.

01:50:50.980 --> 01:50:55.780
Oh man. Trick killer here says when I was a teenager, we used to put dollar bills in the horse manure

01:50:55.780 --> 01:51:00.900
at the Minnesota State Fair and then watch to see who picks it up.

01:51:00.900 --> 01:51:06.580
Absolutely deranged. That is sociopathic. That is just classic teenager activities.

01:51:06.580 --> 01:51:12.220
I mean, look, like this is coming from someone who literally had like horse turdy fights

01:51:12.220 --> 01:51:16.180
in the riding ring with my siblings. So like whatever.

01:51:16.180 --> 01:51:19.500
Like I'm not, I'm not judging. I mean, that's the thing.

01:51:19.500 --> 01:51:22.860
If one person... I think that's more accurate teenager activity. If one person throws one...

01:51:22.860 --> 01:51:26.460
Yeah, throw it back. I mean, it's good.

01:51:26.460 --> 01:51:32.800
And to be clear, I'm talking like the dried out, the dried out ones, which is very different

01:51:32.800 --> 01:51:36.500
from the fresh ones. It really is. Very different.

01:51:36.500 --> 01:51:44.740
Luca103 says, I'm sorry, what? Tell me that you never lived on a farm without telling me you never lived on a farm.

01:51:44.740 --> 01:51:48.140
Poop made of grass is not that gross. It doesn't smell that bad.

01:51:48.140 --> 01:51:53.700
It doesn't like... Yeah, it's... They also do actually really turn into throwable balls.

01:51:53.700 --> 01:51:56.700
They really do. Like it's... Yeah.

01:51:56.700 --> 01:52:00.220
Yeah, they really do. It's... Austin Blitt says it's poop though.

01:52:00.220 --> 01:52:04.700
You get a little desensitized to it. Yeah. You shovel enough of it.

01:52:04.700 --> 01:52:10.940
Like literally, I probably have shoveled thousands of pounds of horse poo.

01:52:10.940 --> 01:52:14.540
It's like, yeah, what? Yeah.

01:52:14.540 --> 01:52:19.060
It's poop. Part of life. You know?

01:52:19.060 --> 01:52:27.980
And the difference between vegetarian animal poop and carnivore animal poop is a whole

01:52:27.980 --> 01:52:31.180
world. A whole world of difference.

01:52:31.180 --> 01:52:34.180
Yeah. I don't know.

01:52:34.180 --> 01:52:37.260
Maybe that's the kind of thing I shouldn't admit, but...

01:52:37.260 --> 01:52:41.700
I'm in my zero sh** given phase that had a poop fight.

01:52:41.700 --> 01:52:44.700
Whatever. I don't know. I think it's great.

01:52:44.700 --> 01:52:50.100
Someone's going to find a way to turn it into something. I mean, there's always something.

01:52:50.100 --> 01:52:53.380
You were saying I'm a scat man? I'm a scat man.

01:52:53.380 --> 01:52:58.100
No, I haven't. You don't know that?

01:52:58.100 --> 01:53:02.020
Whoa. Please tell me. You know what I'm talking about.

01:53:02.020 --> 01:53:07.020
He's... Cool. Yeah, rest in peace.

01:53:07.020 --> 01:53:10.020
Oh, wait. What? Really?

01:53:10.020 --> 01:53:13.020
Yeah. Oh, all right. Well, that was a downy.

01:53:13.020 --> 01:53:17.620
Thanks, Dan. That sucks. Glad we brought you out of your focus zone to do that.

01:53:17.620 --> 01:53:20.620
Cool. What do we want to talk about next?

01:53:20.620 --> 01:53:23.620
Ah, yes. The... Oh, wow.

01:53:23.620 --> 01:53:29.140
Like a while ago. Okay. Qualcomm acquires Arduino.

01:53:29.140 --> 01:53:33.700
Qualcomm, known for developing mobile chips such as the Snapdragon series and many more,

01:53:33.700 --> 01:53:38.620
has acquired microcontroller manufacturer Arduino for an undisclosed sum.

01:53:43.620 --> 01:53:46.620
How are we feeling about this? Hold on. I think...

01:53:46.620 --> 01:53:49.620
Okay, I just... I love the look on your face there.

01:53:49.620 --> 01:53:54.820
Qualcomm states that by acquiring Arduino, this will allow them to deliver a full stack

01:53:55.020 --> 01:53:59.020
edge platform, which is a fancy way of saying local AI.

01:53:59.020 --> 01:54:03.340
Jeff Geerling posted a short five-minute video talking about this and some concerns like

01:54:03.340 --> 01:54:06.940
commitment to open source and education spaces.

01:54:06.940 --> 01:54:12.980
Which were like a huge thing with Arduino. That's how people primarily talked about when they first showed up, was the education

01:54:12.980 --> 01:54:17.620
spaces stuff. Well, hey, I mean, Qualcomm is really well known for...

01:54:17.620 --> 01:54:20.820
Sorry, I can't. Good luck.

01:54:20.820 --> 01:54:26.420
I can't finish that sentence. I mean, here's the problem.

01:54:26.420 --> 01:54:33.660
The problem with something getting acquired for money by someone who expects a return

01:54:33.660 --> 01:54:41.820
on said money is that whatever money it was making now was clearly not enough for whoever

01:54:41.820 --> 01:54:52.420
was making money with it now. So whoever's going to acquire it is often, but not always, often highly financially motivated

01:54:52.420 --> 01:54:57.860
to make it make more money. Yeah, that's kind of the point.

01:54:57.860 --> 01:55:01.660
Private equity. This isn't private equity, but private equity.

01:55:01.660 --> 01:55:04.660
I mean, that's an interesting conversation.

01:55:04.660 --> 01:55:13.020
At what point is it private equity? At what point does a large enough conglomerate start to essentially function like private

01:55:13.020 --> 01:55:17.300
equity in terms of the impact that it has on the companies that it acquires?

01:55:17.300 --> 01:55:24.180
I mean, there's no, I don't think that, you know, what's happened with Activision Blizzard

01:55:24.180 --> 01:55:27.700
for Microsoft acquiring them would have been any different if private equity acquired them.

01:55:27.700 --> 01:55:31.900
Like I don't really, I don't really see the difference at that point.

01:55:31.900 --> 01:55:37.900
Yeah. Well, we'll see how that goes.

01:55:37.900 --> 01:55:40.900
Screwdriver? Sure. Why not?

01:55:40.900 --> 01:55:49.420
Prusa and LTT screwdriver video. Prusa posted a nine minute video today talking about the development of the LTT screwdriver.

01:55:49.420 --> 01:55:52.900
Wait, that was Prusa. I saw this in my feed.

01:55:52.900 --> 01:55:57.420
I didn't realize it was Prusa. Huh.

01:55:57.420 --> 01:56:04.540
Cool. Uh, yeah. Uh, talking about everything from handle design to line a spontaneously saying he wanted

01:56:04.540 --> 01:56:09.620
the screwdriver to be orange, uh, spontaneously saying that.

01:56:09.620 --> 01:56:12.620
I don't know. That's a goal forever. I don't know.

01:56:12.620 --> 01:56:19.740
That's, uh, that's what, that's what Kyle says. He says, I couldn't, I couldn't, uh, I couldn't contain my excitement.

01:56:19.740 --> 01:56:26.060
I haven't actually watched this. So I have no idea what other, uh, what other things, of course, who's supposed to be orange?

01:56:26.060 --> 01:56:32.540
Uh, I don't actually necessarily know that for sure because yeah, the, the snap on one

01:56:32.540 --> 01:56:35.540
that I used before was orange and orange.

01:56:35.540 --> 01:56:40.580
Color was orange and black part of our branding, but we also did an all black screwdriver

01:56:40.580 --> 01:56:45.460
right from the very start. I literally do not remember.

01:56:45.460 --> 01:56:49.300
It's possible he remembers this better than I do.

01:56:49.300 --> 01:56:53.060
The screwdriver not having some orange on it would be weird.

01:56:53.060 --> 01:56:57.740
The primary standard one, not having some orange on it would be weird.

01:56:57.740 --> 01:57:00.860
I really don't remember. I got it.

01:57:00.860 --> 01:57:07.140
I got to be completely honest with you. I wasn't involved at all. So I have no idea, uh, but yeah, that's, that's awesome.

01:57:07.140 --> 01:57:13.340
Hypothetical world, where would LTT be today if there was no screwdriver?

01:57:13.340 --> 01:57:17.260
Exactly where it is probably, but maybe a little smaller.

01:57:17.260 --> 01:57:27.660
Yeah. Maybe, maybe a little smaller. The screwdriver was, uh, a very most excellent, um, product launch for us and, uh, continues

01:57:27.660 --> 01:57:30.740
to sell extremely well on the store.

01:57:30.740 --> 01:57:34.940
I think we're, I think we're well over half a million screwdrivers now, which is like,

01:57:34.940 --> 01:57:40.740
I have had one interaction where someone had no idea what the channel was or anything,

01:57:40.740 --> 01:57:46.540
but I was talking about what I do. And then they were like, wait, the screwdriver that has happened.

01:57:46.540 --> 01:57:49.540
Really? So they just only know us by the screwdriver?

01:57:49.540 --> 01:57:55.460
Yeah. Well, they, I guess someone in their life probably knew the channel and told them about the screwdriver

01:57:55.460 --> 01:57:59.060
and they were like, okay, well, It's very giftable. Try it out or got gifted or something.

01:57:59.060 --> 01:58:02.260
I don't know what. Yeah. Um, and then they liked the screwdriver a bunch.

01:58:02.260 --> 01:58:05.260
So they knew the screwdriver, but they didn't, they don't care about computers or anything.

01:58:05.260 --> 01:58:08.260
Right. So like, fair enough. Yeah.

01:58:08.260 --> 01:58:15.260
Whatever. I mean, they were like, nice screwdriver. It's like, okay, cool.

01:58:15.260 --> 01:58:18.260
They like it. They use it all the time. Sweet.

01:58:18.260 --> 01:58:26.700
Couldn't, couldn't give the slightest crap about anything else going on, but pretty stoked

01:58:26.700 --> 01:58:29.700
on the screwdriver. Nice. Yeah.

01:58:29.700 --> 01:58:37.860
You know what I'm not stoked on? Ford. Ford is locking basic navigation and more behind a subscription.

01:58:37.860 --> 01:58:43.740
Who could have seen this coming? Could anyone possibly have seen this coming?

01:58:43.740 --> 01:58:49.380
I mean, ah, dude, I was, uh, I was someone, uh, someone posted on the subreddit that,

01:58:49.380 --> 01:58:54.820
uh, Chevy is announcing a new bolt and that surely Linus would be talking about this on

01:58:54.820 --> 01:58:58.700
WAN Show. And I was like, okay, first of all, It's a bolt, not a fault.

01:58:58.700 --> 01:59:03.060
Yes. That's the first thing I was going to say. I never cared about the bolt.

01:59:03.060 --> 01:59:07.260
The bolt was an entry level EV, which is like fine.

01:59:07.260 --> 01:59:12.260
But what excited me was the volt, the plug-in hybrid back when plug-in hybrids weren't trendy

01:59:12.260 --> 01:59:16.340
and cool yet. And I took a bunch of flak for talking about how cool they were.

01:59:16.340 --> 01:59:19.820
And now everyone knows they're cool. They're so cool. They really are cool.

01:59:19.820 --> 01:59:22.820
They're so cool. I loved the bolt. There is no new vault.

01:59:22.820 --> 01:59:30.920
It's still bolt. Or the new one is bolt, whatever the point is to GM doesn't support Android Auto and

01:59:30.920 --> 01:59:41.720
CarPlay anymore. They've gone the Rivian Tesla route and I, I, I gotta be honest, man, like I, I still

01:59:41.720 --> 01:59:48.920
can think the cars are cool. I'll be like, yeah, if this suits your needs, I wouldn't judge you in any way for buying

01:59:48.920 --> 01:59:57.560
one. But you're going to have to pry my money from my cold, dead hands before I buy a car that

01:59:57.560 --> 02:00:03.800
doesn't support me just plugging in my phone and using all my crap that I'm already logged

02:00:03.800 --> 02:00:08.480
into and all the data tracking that is already happening anyway, because I need this in my

02:00:08.480 --> 02:00:17.400
pocket anyway. I am not signing into your additional platform and using your additional separate apps.

02:00:17.400 --> 02:00:21.080
I am not going to do it.

02:00:21.080 --> 02:00:28.320
I won't. So GM can make all the bolts and bolts and sholts and mults.

02:00:28.320 --> 02:00:33.840
I don't care. They can make anything they want and they will not get my money from me because they

02:00:33.840 --> 02:00:43.200
have made a decision that I fundamentally disagree with because it unlocks this bulls***

02:00:43.200 --> 02:00:46.760
because all of a sudden now you control the platform and all the other subscriptions that

02:00:46.760 --> 02:00:53.960
I already have in my life can't just be plugged into my car, which I expect to just f***ing

02:00:53.960 --> 02:00:58.640
own once I pay that kind of money for it.

02:00:58.640 --> 02:01:02.800
No. I own my car. I like my car a lot.

02:01:02.800 --> 02:01:06.600
My car is great. I got a new car. Oh, what?

02:01:06.600 --> 02:01:10.040
I'm daily driving a Prius. No, Corolla.

02:01:10.040 --> 02:01:13.040
Different Toyota. It doesn't even know that. I have a new car.

02:01:13.040 --> 02:01:16.200
What is it? I have a new car.

02:01:16.200 --> 02:01:22.000
What is it? I don't know. It's the one that we hooked up the Comma AI self-driving.

02:01:22.000 --> 02:01:25.040
So are you trying to like daily Comma AI or something? Yeah.

02:01:25.040 --> 02:01:28.240
So it's going to be a really different kind of video for our channel.

02:01:28.240 --> 02:01:33.240
I have no idea if people are going to be into it. I don't know if it's going to cut together very well.

02:01:33.240 --> 02:01:36.480
I don't know. But I get in the car.

02:01:36.480 --> 02:01:42.120
We have like three or four webcams in there or if not webcams dashcams.

02:01:42.120 --> 02:01:47.640
So we have two angles of me, one that's like just me and one that's like me and the passenger.

02:01:47.640 --> 02:01:52.560
We have an angle showing the Comma AI and I think there might be one more angle.

02:01:52.560 --> 02:02:00.600
I can't remember what it is. And then we put a microphone on the passenger sunshade, just like a little shotgun mic pointing

02:02:00.600 --> 02:02:06.080
at me. And every time I get in the car, I'm supposed to turn on the audio recording.

02:02:06.080 --> 02:02:12.920
The video rolls automatically. And then I'm just supposed to like, if anything interesting happens, I do like an audio mark

02:02:12.920 --> 02:02:16.240
for the editor. And then I talk about it and we're going to cut it together.

02:02:16.240 --> 02:02:21.960
And I daily drove a DIY self-driving, I mean, it's not really self-driving.

02:02:21.960 --> 02:02:27.120
It's an advanced driver versus feature. But I mean, certain companies might call it self-driving.

02:02:27.120 --> 02:02:32.840
So why can't I? I saw your car parked somewhere the other day.

02:02:32.840 --> 02:02:36.240
Yeah. Your actual car. Yeah.

02:02:36.240 --> 02:02:41.200
Take it. And was genuinely confused because I was like, where is he?

02:02:41.200 --> 02:02:46.920
Yeah. And now this makes a lot, actually a lot more sense because I was like, I was the last person

02:02:46.920 --> 02:02:52.160
to leave the place and I was locking everything up and then your car was there and I was

02:02:52.160 --> 02:02:55.160
like, what? Okay. I was actually concerned.

02:02:55.160 --> 02:02:58.160
I like locked you inside. Oh yeah. No, I'm good.

02:02:58.160 --> 02:03:02.960
Yeah. I'm driving the Corolla. I, I, I like my car.

02:03:02.960 --> 02:03:05.520
No, I love my car. It's great.

02:03:06.520 --> 02:03:11.480
It doesn't, it's not life-changing. This is why I love my car so much.

02:03:11.480 --> 02:03:16.320
Yeah. It's been paid off for so long and I get inside and it's comfortable.

02:03:16.320 --> 02:03:19.800
Yeah. The Corolla's all right. And it gets me where I need to go.

02:03:19.800 --> 02:03:23.000
Yep. Oh no, I don't have Google Maps. Oh, my phone's sitting on the dash.

02:03:23.000 --> 02:03:27.100
I suddenly have Google Maps. Wow. Crazy feature.

02:03:27.100 --> 02:03:31.200
It turns out I'm still not really much of a car guy.

02:03:31.200 --> 02:03:35.280
I like cool cars. I don't not like them.

02:03:35.280 --> 02:03:38.400
I just think it's a lot of money.

02:03:38.400 --> 02:03:42.080
And it is, it's, it's, it's a fun party trick.

02:03:42.080 --> 02:03:50.360
Like driving a rocket ship. I don't think it's cheap to not want to spend like decent nice new cars are so expensive.

02:03:50.360 --> 02:03:53.800
I don't want to spend like 60 grand on a new version of my car.

02:03:53.800 --> 02:03:56.800
How much is it? 60 grand. That doesn't even include your subscription.

02:03:56.800 --> 02:04:03.080
A Reddit user on the LTT subreddit shared a photo of their truck requiring them to pay

02:04:03.080 --> 02:04:10.760
a 120 Canadian dollar a year add-on fee to get full use of their car's navigation system.

02:04:10.760 --> 02:04:15.500
It's not the only subscription that you need to get full access to your Ford truck's features.

02:04:15.500 --> 02:04:24.440
Their blue cruise, hands-free highway driving assistance will cost you $500 a year or $2,500

02:04:24.440 --> 02:04:30.080
one time for a lifetime access, which they indicate could actually be only seven years

02:04:30.080 --> 02:04:33.880
of the service. The comment here says, who's this?

02:04:33.880 --> 02:04:38.680
This is David. That's a deal breaker, ladies.

02:04:38.680 --> 02:04:45.320
Some other examples of car sub bulls**t, BMW has heated seats locked behind a subscription.

02:04:45.320 --> 02:04:48.600
Mercedes has actual car performance locked behind a subscription.

02:04:48.600 --> 02:04:56.720
Okay. I've talked about this one, that one I actually don't necessarily mind as much because there

02:04:56.720 --> 02:05:04.920
can be wear and tear impacts on pushing hardware harder, whether it's an electric, whether

02:05:04.920 --> 02:05:10.880
it's a gas vehicle, there could be an actual cost associated with unlocking that extra

02:05:10.880 --> 02:05:15.440
performance in terms of warranty service over time.

02:05:15.440 --> 02:05:20.800
That one could potentially maybe be justified.

02:05:20.800 --> 02:05:25.960
Heated seats that are just already there, I object to far more.

02:05:26.200 --> 02:05:31.640
A navigation system that doesn't work is like, what even is a car in current year that doesn't

02:05:31.640 --> 02:05:34.640
have a navigation system? You've got to be kidding me. Anyway.

02:05:34.640 --> 02:05:39.040
Tesla has their media capabilities behind such a subscription, Toyota has remote start

02:05:39.040 --> 02:05:44.040
on vehicles three years older or more on a subscription, and a ton have over-the-air

02:05:44.040 --> 02:05:47.480
UI updates locked behind subscriptions.

02:05:47.480 --> 02:05:53.840
GM stated, the one that, remember, I was just talking about how I'm not interested in there

02:05:53.840 --> 02:06:00.680
not having Android Auto or CarPlay Bulls**t, GM stated that it earned more than $2 billion

02:06:00.680 --> 02:06:05.920
in 2021 via in-car subscriptions.

02:06:05.920 --> 02:06:11.280
Yeah. That's exactly why they don't do it like they did in the Volt anymore.

02:06:11.280 --> 02:06:16.360
The Volt is like the Goldilocks zone.

02:06:16.360 --> 02:06:20.000
What is that car, 2017, I think? It's great.

02:06:20.000 --> 02:06:25.760
Sounds right. It has a big enough screen that you can totally make out where you're going.

02:06:25.760 --> 02:06:29.400
It supports Android Auto and CarPlay.

02:06:29.400 --> 02:06:33.720
It never got any like- Ended production 2019, so yours being 2017 sounds pretty yuck.

02:06:33.720 --> 02:06:41.840
I think mine's a 2017. It doesn't really get any OTA updates or anything, but it doesn't need them because I can plug

02:06:41.840 --> 02:06:47.480
my phone into it forever and have all the features I could possibly want.

02:06:47.480 --> 02:06:56.840
People love these, dude. What? 2019 Chevrolet Volt, car and driver, this is American prices, used, dude.

02:06:56.840 --> 02:07:01.640
Well, yeah. It's because it's like a God tier car.

02:07:01.640 --> 02:07:06.480
It's awesome. That's wicked. No, I'm not even like, that's cool.

02:07:06.480 --> 02:07:10.040
I'm not even down talking it. Dude, I took- And I get it.

02:07:10.040 --> 02:07:13.960
I took so much flack for that take back then.

02:07:13.960 --> 02:07:19.440
It was a major factor in me just being like, hey, I don't think I'm going to push that

02:07:19.440 --> 02:07:27.720
hard into doing more car reviews on LTT because I took so much for being like, this is a really

02:07:27.720 --> 02:07:30.720
great car. Did you throw it?

02:07:30.720 --> 02:07:33.720
Throw the car. No, the- Damn.

02:07:33.720 --> 02:07:44.080
Did you start whipping it back at people or did you lose your youthfulness?

02:07:44.080 --> 02:07:48.000
I just got frustrated.

02:07:48.000 --> 02:07:51.880
With them throwing feces at you? What?

02:07:51.880 --> 02:07:54.880
Yes. Okay. Yeah.

02:07:54.880 --> 02:07:57.880
It doesn't taste good. I thought it was food.

02:07:57.880 --> 02:08:00.880
Oh, no. Oh, no. That never happened.

02:08:00.880 --> 02:08:06.380
Oh, no. Yeah, this sucks.

02:08:06.380 --> 02:08:09.380
All of this sucks. All of it sucks. Boo.

02:08:09.380 --> 02:08:18.880
Stop doing it. Discussion question. In that same statement, GM stated that I accidentally minimized this topic, GM stated

02:08:18.880 --> 02:08:24.760
that customers are willing to spend $135 a month on average for the right mix of in-car

02:08:24.760 --> 02:08:28.680
products and services. Nope. No, I don't think I am.

02:08:28.680 --> 02:08:31.680
Stuff it. I'm not at all. I will pay you nothing.

02:08:31.680 --> 02:08:39.000
My subscription, like my included with purchase subscriptions in my Taycan expired last month

02:08:39.560 --> 02:08:47.680
and I don't even know what they were because to me, a feature of a vehicle that is not

02:08:47.680 --> 02:08:51.840
just part of it and that requires a subscription doesn't exist.

02:08:51.840 --> 02:08:56.240
So I have literally never used them because the last thing I want is to get used to using

02:08:56.240 --> 02:09:00.320
something that I know I'm going to have to pay monthly for later. Like, no.

02:09:00.320 --> 02:09:05.440
The only problem my cars had in years happened somewhat recently, some air got in the brake

02:09:05.440 --> 02:09:11.440
line. It still works perfectly fine, just like should probably get it tuned up eventually.

02:09:11.440 --> 02:09:15.640
Somebody with a trailer pulled out in front of me today when I was driving to work.

02:09:15.640 --> 02:09:20.640
And at the red light, their trailer brakes were not working and their trailer was blocking

02:09:20.640 --> 02:09:26.080
their brake lights. So when they went to go stop, I didn't realize there was a car in front of them as well.

02:09:26.080 --> 02:09:29.680
So they stopped way earlier than I expected and I couldn't see their lights.

02:09:29.680 --> 02:09:33.560
So I ended up slamming on my brakes in order to not hit them.

02:09:33.560 --> 02:09:38.520
And that somehow fixed the air in the lines. So my car fixed itself.

02:09:38.520 --> 02:09:41.520
Thanks Honda.

02:09:41.520 --> 02:09:54.760
Okay. Sick. When I went to stop at the next light, I was like, wait, what the heck, it was awesome.

02:09:54.760 --> 02:09:58.200
That is not okay. Yeah, I'll go get it checked out, but it did actually fix itself.

02:09:58.200 --> 02:10:03.800
So I don't know. I don't know if like brake slamming just shocked the line and the air came out or something.

02:10:03.800 --> 02:10:13.520
I don't know, but I will get it checked out. Dude, take hands are crazy, crazy affordable.

02:10:13.520 --> 02:10:17.280
If you wait for the right deal these days, whoa, why is that so much cheaper than the

02:10:17.280 --> 02:10:20.640
one? Is it the turbo S part? They have.

02:10:20.640 --> 02:10:28.920
Oh, yes. Turbo S is the like top spec one and is quite a bit more expensive, but I mean, I don't know.

02:10:29.920 --> 02:10:34.760
I know guys, I'm taking it in. I literally have an appointment from like that I planned like a week ago.

02:10:34.760 --> 02:10:37.760
It's fine. Don't worry about it. Yeah.

02:10:37.760 --> 02:10:40.760
My goodness. Dude, my car is depreciated so much.

02:10:40.760 --> 02:10:46.160
It's fine though. You bought a luxury electric car.

02:10:46.160 --> 02:10:51.840
Yeah. What do you expect? I expect to enjoy driving my luxury electric car, except when I drive my Corolla, which

02:10:51.840 --> 02:10:54.960
honestly is kind of fine too.

02:10:55.960 --> 02:11:00.600
Dude, the comma AI is really cool.

02:11:00.600 --> 02:11:05.240
The more I drive it, the more clear it is that it's really though, only useful in a

02:11:05.240 --> 02:11:13.320
straight line. Like, yeah, it doesn't do anything other than really lane keep assist and auto start

02:11:13.320 --> 02:11:18.840
stop, but to its credit, I had a really cool experience with it this morning.

02:11:18.840 --> 02:11:27.120
I was stopped in the left-hand turning lane coming down Highway 15.

02:11:27.120 --> 02:11:31.880
Is that the one that comes down from the Trans-Canada Highway to the office area?

02:11:31.880 --> 02:11:34.880
It's the Highway 15? I think so. I think so.

02:11:34.880 --> 02:11:38.280
Yeah. So I'm coming down Highway 15 and then I'm turning left onto Fraser Highway. You know the one, right?

02:11:38.280 --> 02:11:44.000
Okay. So there's your two lanes going straight and then there's your two turning lanes.

02:11:44.000 --> 02:11:50.520
So there's all that construction there for the SkyTrain right now. So I'm in the right most of the left turning lanes.

02:11:50.520 --> 02:11:54.600
So if I was numbering them from left to right, I'm in lane two.

02:11:54.600 --> 02:11:57.720
So there's two lights for the straight lanes.

02:11:57.720 --> 02:12:01.560
Those are kind of in front of me here. And then there's two lights for the left turning lane.

02:12:01.560 --> 02:12:05.240
There's one kind of here and then there's one like way over here. And so I was sitting there.

02:12:05.240 --> 02:12:10.520
I was at the front and I was like, what's going to happen when the straight green lights

02:12:10.520 --> 02:12:15.400
turn green? Is it going to rip me into the intersection?

02:12:15.400 --> 02:12:18.840
Because a beta feature, I think it's still in beta actually have not checked, but it

02:12:18.840 --> 02:12:27.400
was in beta back when we did our first impressions. A feature that I think is in beta of the comma AI is a green and red light detection.

02:12:27.400 --> 02:12:31.600
So it should theoretically automatically stop for a red light and start once the light

02:12:31.600 --> 02:12:35.800
turns green. It didn't go.

02:12:35.800 --> 02:12:39.240
When the straight greens went, it didn't go.

02:12:39.240 --> 02:12:42.480
I don't actually recall if it went when the left turning lights went.

02:12:42.480 --> 02:12:46.120
I just have to check the footage. But yeah. I was pretty impressed.

02:12:46.120 --> 02:12:49.120
That is pretty good actually. Yeah. That's quite a niche case.

02:12:49.120 --> 02:12:53.920
However, let's talk about yellow lights.

02:12:53.920 --> 02:13:02.480
It slows down. It seems to kind of treat them like caution, but it doesn't treat them like caution.

02:13:02.480 --> 02:13:06.280
This will turn red. Maybe it treats them like caution.

02:13:06.280 --> 02:13:13.040
Maybe it will turn red. Maybe it could turn green again. Maybe it has location services and knows you're in BC.

02:13:13.040 --> 02:13:21.920
That's a joke because BC drivers, red means stop, green means go, yellow means go faster.

02:13:21.920 --> 02:13:25.160
Go faster, but head on a swivel. But go faster.

02:13:25.160 --> 02:13:30.960
Oh, God. Yeah. They just knew where you were.

02:13:30.960 --> 02:13:34.160
They're trying to keep you fitting in with the locals.

02:13:34.160 --> 02:13:39.520
Yeah, well, yeah.

02:13:39.520 --> 02:13:45.680
Microsoft has promised more Xbox hardware is still on the way despite low sales numbers

02:13:45.680 --> 02:13:53.480
for their hardware and the canned Xbox handheld that is rumored to be because AMD required

02:13:53.480 --> 02:13:59.280
a guarantee that they would sell at least 10 million units.

02:13:59.280 --> 02:14:04.400
Microsoft has assured gamers that future first party consoles and devices are still being

02:14:04.400 --> 02:14:07.880
designed, engineered and built by Xbox.

02:14:07.880 --> 02:14:13.640
They have pointed to the multi-year partnership that they entered with AMD earlier this year.

02:14:13.640 --> 02:14:18.360
With that said, it still looks like their main focus remains on Game Pass with rumors

02:14:18.360 --> 02:14:22.640
of a free ad-supported tier of streaming only Game Pass on the horizon.

02:14:22.640 --> 02:14:25.760
Okay, I can see from your face, but hold on a second.

02:14:25.760 --> 02:14:31.680
Hold on a second. Okay. We have a video coming soon about the state of Xbox that you should keep an eye out for.

02:14:31.680 --> 02:14:40.440
I actually filmed my part of it today and I want to talk about ad-supported free streaming

02:14:40.440 --> 02:14:47.640
only Game Pass. Luke, would you like to translate that look on your face into words?

02:14:47.640 --> 02:14:53.200
Do you have words? Mostly sadness, I think. Because you were a bit of an Xbox boy.

02:14:53.200 --> 02:14:57.880
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Original Xbox, Xbox 360 were a huge deal.

02:14:57.880 --> 02:15:01.560
Loved both of those consoles. Absolutely loved both of those consoles.

02:15:01.600 --> 02:15:05.880
Seeing either one of them immediately brings me joy.

02:15:05.880 --> 02:15:12.040
Like fantastic pieces of equipment.

02:15:12.040 --> 02:15:18.380
They really fell off the rails in a big way immediately after the 360 and I think never

02:15:18.380 --> 02:15:29.440
got it back. The unhappy face isn't this, honestly, it just feels like, and it's Microsoft again.

02:15:29.440 --> 02:15:34.720
It feels like the same take that I have with Windows, which it's just been so long now

02:15:34.720 --> 02:15:42.880
of just junk. The original Xbox and Xbox 360 were an amazing value prop, came with incredible exclusives,

02:15:42.880 --> 02:15:48.360
fantastic games, fantastic hardware, great experience, and then it just went and never

02:15:48.360 --> 02:15:52.680
came back. What was the first 360 in the one?

02:15:52.680 --> 02:16:00.600
Not making ... Yeah. What were the bangers on the Xbox One?

02:16:00.600 --> 02:16:03.600
When did Gears hit? Was that 360? No, that was 360, right?

02:16:03.600 --> 02:16:07.880
No. Yeah. Xbox One was Gears of War One, right?

02:16:07.880 --> 02:16:13.040
No. Oh, no, that was 360. Original Gears of War was either 360 or the original one?

02:16:13.040 --> 02:16:16.800
No, it wasn't original Xbox, I don't think. Yeah.

02:16:16.800 --> 02:16:20.680
So I'm pretty sure it's 360 then. Titanfall 2 says Mav. Okay.

02:16:20.680 --> 02:16:22.680
That was multi-platform. Yeah.

02:16:23.680 --> 02:16:26.680
Yeah. Gears of War was 360.

02:16:26.680 --> 02:16:31.680
Halo 2. No, no, no, no. People are just naming stuff that was on the old versions.

02:16:31.680 --> 02:16:35.680
Halo 2 was playable in the original Xbox, but primarily came out for the 360, was really

02:16:35.680 --> 02:16:40.240
designed for the 360, but it was playable in the original Xbox if I remember correctly.

02:16:40.240 --> 02:16:43.240
Or maybe we just got our internet module thing late, I don't know.

02:16:43.240 --> 02:16:49.760
What was Killer for Xbox One? I'm trying to even remember the Xbox One.

02:16:49.760 --> 02:17:02.200
Did anybody care about the Xbox One? Gears 4 to 5 on the Xbox One.

02:17:02.200 --> 02:17:07.080
Halo 5 Guardians, Gears 5, Forza.

02:17:07.080 --> 02:17:10.560
No, man, Fable One was like OG Xbox.

02:17:10.560 --> 02:17:14.360
That wasn't Xbox One. Fantastic game, but old.

02:17:14.360 --> 02:17:18.600
So like this is just downhill.

02:17:18.600 --> 02:17:23.760
What year did the... Red Dead 2's cross-platform, so that's not going to fly.

02:17:23.760 --> 02:17:26.760
Yeah, that's not going to work at all. 2013, wow.

02:17:26.760 --> 02:17:30.600
Right around the time that Windows started getting really terrible as well.

02:17:30.600 --> 02:17:33.600
Interesting. I don't know what changed that. I genuinely don't.

02:17:33.600 --> 02:17:38.200
I'm not alluding. I'm not actually alluding to anything. It's just interesting that the timelines are similar.

02:17:38.200 --> 02:17:41.320
When did Bill Gates step down? Way before that, didn't he?

02:17:41.320 --> 02:17:44.320
Well, yeah, but I mean, it takes a long time for the pipeline to...

02:17:44.320 --> 02:17:48.080
That's fair, but I think it was like way, way before that. Step down as CEO.

02:17:48.080 --> 02:17:51.320
I'm just curious. He was saying that he was like a great leader or whatever.

02:17:51.320 --> 02:17:56.720
2000, he stepped down, so that was way, way, way, way before that.

02:17:56.720 --> 02:17:59.720
All right. What are you talking about?

02:17:59.720 --> 02:18:05.120
Yeah, okay. But my actual sadness here wasn't about the Xbox hardware thing, because in my opinion,

02:18:05.120 --> 02:18:09.320
that's been dead for 12 years.

02:18:09.320 --> 02:18:13.920
Right. So, I already kind of moved on from Xbox hardware.

02:18:13.920 --> 02:18:17.720
The thing that I like about Xbox hardware is the controllers now.

02:18:17.720 --> 02:18:22.400
I would be really sad if they stopped making controllers, and it impacts my life literally

02:18:22.400 --> 02:18:27.720
not at all that they stopped making consoles, despite being like, as you said, an Xbox boy.

02:18:27.720 --> 02:18:34.160
Right. Because they just completely lost me, which sucks.

02:18:34.160 --> 02:18:39.720
Yeah, I'm trying to think of a good reason to game on an Xbox.

02:18:39.720 --> 02:18:45.160
The cheap hardware was one, but then they've hiked the prices.

02:18:45.200 --> 02:18:49.000
Didn't they increase the price recently for the same console? Yeah.

02:18:49.000 --> 02:18:53.080
When does that happen? Remember when mid-cycle consoles would maybe go down in price?

02:18:53.080 --> 02:18:56.680
Do you remember that? They'd either go down, or you'd get like slim versions or whatever.

02:18:56.680 --> 02:19:00.760
Or they'd start coming with bundled games and like extra controllers, like there'd be

02:19:00.760 --> 02:19:04.080
cool variants, like translucent purple. Yeah.

02:19:04.080 --> 02:19:07.080
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

02:19:07.080 --> 02:19:10.080
Yeah. That's crazy though. Who would do that with their screwdriver?

02:19:10.080 --> 02:19:13.080
What? Huh? That's crazy.

02:19:13.080 --> 02:19:15.120
That is crazy. That is crazy indeed.

02:19:20.120 --> 02:19:24.320
Yeah. So it's like the thing that I'm sad about here, and I know I'm going to catch flak for

02:19:24.320 --> 02:19:32.160
this, but the thing that I'm sad about here is the, you can play the games for free with

02:19:32.160 --> 02:19:36.200
ads. So you think that's bad?

02:19:36.200 --> 02:19:40.600
That? Why do you think that's bad? Is a stepping stone, in my opinion.

02:19:40.600 --> 02:19:43.880
I mean, is it? Even more increasingly annoying things.

02:19:43.880 --> 02:19:48.960
Is it any different from what we already have in like microtransaction hell?

02:19:48.960 --> 02:19:54.720
I think it's just progressive. I mean, the all, I mean, that's, it's basically just mobile gaming then.

02:19:54.720 --> 02:19:57.720
This is my point. Oh, I see.

02:19:57.720 --> 02:20:02.880
Okay. So you're just like, okay, well. And ads will start being made with this in mind.

02:20:02.880 --> 02:20:06.640
Sorry. Games will start being, I mean, same deal, unfortunately.

02:20:06.640 --> 02:20:11.480
Games will start being made with this in mind. But like mobile games don't need to be as bad as they are.

02:20:11.520 --> 02:20:15.600
They have the hardware. They have the performance to make them better. They don't on purpose.

02:20:15.600 --> 02:20:21.360
The ad supported tier in mobile games though is just to get you going on to the microtransactions.

02:20:21.360 --> 02:20:26.200
And PC games are already made for microtransactions, which is why it feels progressive.

02:20:26.200 --> 02:20:29.320
It's like we skipped stage two cancer and we went straight to stage four.

02:20:29.320 --> 02:20:35.400
Like I don't really, I don't think we even skipped stage two or three.

02:20:35.400 --> 02:20:39.080
I think we did them. Well, when did we have ad supported games on PC?

02:20:39.080 --> 02:20:43.720
Like if you're saying like ads, like I'm saying ad supported is like, is like one of

02:20:43.720 --> 02:20:52.920
the stages we went through to get to. In a few games or already games that have funding from ads, yeah, just in very alternative

02:20:52.920 --> 02:20:57.240
ways. This is the most blatant because there's already been like paid billboard ads.

02:20:57.240 --> 02:21:00.560
There's even been games that have the ads in them update over time.

02:21:00.560 --> 02:21:04.160
Okay. Tell me this.

02:21:04.160 --> 02:21:13.320
If the idea is that the ad supports the streaming of the game, then the game developer isn't

02:21:13.320 --> 02:21:18.760
really being incentivized in any way to put ads in the game itself.

02:21:18.760 --> 02:21:25.040
And it's a source of revenue that is completely separate from any kind of microtransaction. You don't know how the revenue sharing is happening.

02:21:25.040 --> 02:21:31.960
That's true. So if your game gets more ad views, oh, so you're worried about this things getting like

02:21:31.960 --> 02:21:36.560
super grindy. What I was saying was that I'm worried about games being made with this in mind because

02:21:36.560 --> 02:21:45.520
the same thing happened with microtransactions. When microtransactions came in, cool cosmetics for accomplishing cool things went away.

02:21:45.520 --> 02:21:49.920
When microtransactions came in, fun cheat codes went away.

02:21:49.920 --> 02:21:55.920
I've had an intrusive thought. You know how many loading zones there are in Starfield?

02:21:55.920 --> 02:21:59.360
This is my point. Ad break.

02:21:59.360 --> 02:22:09.720
Yeah. So like just the fact that that mechanism in there is there concerns me.

02:22:09.720 --> 02:22:13.880
You understand streaming economy. It can't just be free ads make sense to make it cheap.

02:22:13.880 --> 02:22:18.120
That's fully understand that. That's not the point at all.

02:22:18.120 --> 02:22:23.040
The point is the perverse incentive that happens to developers, right?

02:22:23.040 --> 02:22:29.720
Because now they would be incentivized. I'm assuming if your game plays way more ads than other people's games, you're going to

02:22:29.760 --> 02:22:32.960
get more money. I don't know when the ads play.

02:22:32.960 --> 02:22:38.480
I don't know if it's during the game. I don't know if it's during low screens. It can just be like in the middle of lining up a headshot.

02:22:38.480 --> 02:22:41.960
No. Obviously. So it has to be at some kind of a natural break.

02:22:41.960 --> 02:22:45.480
It could be that you can't launch the game until you play a certain amount of ads or something.

02:22:45.480 --> 02:22:53.480
Right. I don't know. But I'm sure that starting with playing a bunch of ads and then the game going will

02:22:53.480 --> 02:23:00.480
turn into playing a bunch of ads and then in between rounds could turn into whatever.

02:23:02.040 --> 02:23:05.040
This is the sadness. I see. Okay.

02:23:05.040 --> 02:23:12.040
I think gaming was better when you owned less games because you bought them.

02:23:17.120 --> 02:23:23.080
I don't think having access to 700 games made my life better.

02:23:23.120 --> 02:23:27.480
When I had an Xbox and I had like five games, it was great.

02:23:27.480 --> 02:23:32.360
And that was totally fine. And I bought them and there wasn't ads and there wasn't micro transactions and it was

02:23:32.360 --> 02:23:39.640
fantastic. I don't need infinite game on Game Pass for free, but I have to watch ads.

02:23:39.640 --> 02:23:44.240
I don't want that. But you can also afford regular Game Pass or just buying games.

02:23:44.240 --> 02:23:47.760
Even when I couldn't, I preferred it. I would just have less games.

02:23:47.760 --> 02:23:52.120
Like I said, when I had just like a few games in an Xbox, when my brother and I had to go

02:23:53.080 --> 02:23:56.520
do random chores and odd jobs around the neighborhood to be able to afford a Super

02:23:56.520 --> 02:24:01.480
Nintendo, even when like the N64 was out, whatever, I preferred the fewer games that

02:24:01.480 --> 02:24:06.360
I had that did not have the ads that it's nostalgia talking.

02:24:06.360 --> 02:24:11.880
It aggressively is not. And I promise you that is not at all what's happening.

02:24:11.880 --> 02:24:15.640
Yeah. You don't know this man. I promise you that is not the case.

02:24:15.640 --> 02:24:21.320
It's genuinely not roast tinted glasses looking at the past.

02:24:21.320 --> 02:24:24.440
It is actually not that that is not the case whatsoever.

02:24:24.440 --> 02:24:31.480
It is a degradation of game and quality. I loved that tons of games used to come with cheat codes.

02:24:31.480 --> 02:24:40.840
It just made the game fun and silly. I loved games being more contained, compartmentalized experiences.

02:24:40.840 --> 02:24:47.560
I loved doing weird things in game and getting rewarded with like cool, fancy stuff instead

02:24:47.880 --> 02:24:52.040
of most of the cool stuff being locked behind cosmetics that you buy in a store.

02:24:52.040 --> 02:24:59.160
And if you don't think that's happening, you're nuts. Basically what Luke misses is the dopamine hit being because you did something.

02:24:59.160 --> 02:25:02.680
Rather than the dopamine hit being because you paid for something.

02:25:03.640 --> 02:25:08.120
And even if you're like, oh, those mechanisms are still there, they're not prioritized.

02:25:08.120 --> 02:25:13.560
Well, yeah, because it's way more profitable to prioritize giving you a dopamine hit for

02:25:13.560 --> 02:25:16.760
watching an ad or giving you a dopamine hit for paying money.

02:25:18.440 --> 02:25:24.520
And it's such an incredibly powerful force. And again, if you don't think it is, you're probably just being manipulated.

02:25:26.920 --> 02:25:35.400
Sorry. Wow, dropping truth bombs. Are you, are you gonna like, you know, warn them to get to an evac zone

02:25:35.400 --> 02:25:39.240
before you drop truth bombs like that? Nope. Nope.

02:25:39.240 --> 02:25:42.360
Our discussion question here is actually kind of unrelated.

02:25:42.360 --> 02:25:46.440
Why is the Steam Deck considered such a huge success

02:25:46.440 --> 02:25:50.360
when it's rumored to have sold somewhere in the neighborhood of around 5 million units?

02:25:51.240 --> 02:25:55.000
PS Vita sold 10 to 15 million units.

02:25:55.640 --> 02:26:02.200
Wii U sold about 13 million and both are considered to be historic bombs.

02:26:05.080 --> 02:26:09.640
I actually think I have a good answer if you don't have one ready. But I was curious to hear your take.

02:26:09.640 --> 02:26:14.040
First, I have a couple angles. I'm going to go with expectations.

02:26:14.040 --> 02:26:19.720
Yeah. The expectations for Linux gaming was that it was just never going to happen.

02:26:20.440 --> 02:26:22.360
And I don't mean the optimists.

02:26:23.640 --> 02:26:28.600
They thought Linux gaming had already happened and for them it had.

02:26:28.600 --> 02:26:37.480
But for the rest of the world, for like, you know, my nephew, it hadn't happened.

02:26:38.440 --> 02:26:47.240
Steam Deck made that happen. I guarantee you there are more people gaming on a Steam Deck right now

02:26:47.240 --> 02:26:51.560
than there were cumulatively ever before that on Linux.

02:26:52.120 --> 02:27:02.040
Like, huge. Millions of units is incredible for like gaming on Linux.

02:27:03.400 --> 02:27:08.760
So what that, what that, and it's also like, it's also their first crack at it.

02:27:09.720 --> 02:27:21.000
So it's a data point, right? Whereas the Wii U and the PS Vita, they were data points that took a sales trend

02:27:21.000 --> 02:27:26.520
and went like this with it. The Steam Deck is a sales trend that is at the very beginning.

02:27:26.520 --> 02:27:29.560
That most external analysts thought would be a failure.

02:27:29.560 --> 02:27:32.600
And that we think is probably going to go like this.

02:27:32.600 --> 02:27:35.800
Was a keyword. Right. It's probably going to go like this.

02:27:36.440 --> 02:27:42.600
So it's extremely exciting. Reason number two that the Steam Deck is considered a success

02:27:42.600 --> 02:27:48.520
is that the PS Vita and the Wii U had very limited game libraries.

02:27:48.520 --> 02:27:54.280
The Wii U did have some bangers, but a lot of those bangers ended up selling big on the switch.

02:27:54.280 --> 02:27:58.520
Yeah. They didn't end up selling big or on the Wii, right?

02:27:58.520 --> 02:28:04.120
Like that's true. They ended up selling on the consoles that were on either side of the Wii U.

02:28:05.080 --> 02:28:08.280
And yeah, the PS Vita had some bangers too.

02:28:09.320 --> 02:28:15.240
But when you compare that to the Steam Deck, Valve's business model is to take 30% of every

02:28:15.240 --> 02:28:22.040
flipping game on Steam. And the Steam Deck is such an enabler of more hours spent gaming.

02:28:22.040 --> 02:28:28.280
I guarantee you that the economics of the Steam Deck have worked out way better for Valve

02:28:28.280 --> 02:28:32.520
than the PS Vita or the Wii U ever did for Sony or for Nintendo.

02:28:32.600 --> 02:28:39.560
So those are my two main arguments is expectations and sort of future opportunity that is unlocked

02:28:39.560 --> 02:28:50.200
by the Steam Deck compared to those other two. And also the ability to attach software to it is like I have literally bought games that I go,

02:28:50.920 --> 02:28:56.920
I would never play this game except that I'm going to be stuck somewhere with only a handheld

02:28:56.920 --> 02:29:02.040
and it's a perfect game to play on my handheld. Like I would never play Vampire Survivors on my desktop.

02:29:02.840 --> 02:29:06.280
Never. I wouldn't touch that game on my desktop.

02:29:06.280 --> 02:29:11.400
Not because it's a bad game. I probably have like 30 hours in it, 35 hours in it.

02:29:11.400 --> 02:29:13.720
But it's all on my ally, all of it.

02:29:14.840 --> 02:29:18.520
It's just it's a mobile game for me. It's like I have 10 minutes.

02:29:19.480 --> 02:29:24.600
Yeah, I'll just fire up Vampire Survivors. Yeah, my main thing was expectations.

02:29:24.600 --> 02:29:29.880
The other one was highly related to your other comment of like the future stuff,

02:29:29.880 --> 02:29:36.040
because the 13 million Wii U sold were sold to a bunch of people that

02:29:40.440 --> 02:29:41.000
I don't know.

02:29:43.720 --> 02:29:47.640
Weren't super enthusiastic, I guess. I liked my Wii U a lot, actually.

02:29:47.640 --> 02:29:49.880
But most people that I knew that got one were like,

02:29:50.680 --> 02:29:54.760
eh, it's kind of a Wii. And but your big thing was Mario Kart.

02:29:55.320 --> 02:29:59.000
You played the crap out of Mario Kart 8. It was incredible. If Mario Kart 8 didn't exist,

02:29:59.000 --> 02:30:02.680
I don't think I would look back on the Wii U at nearly as positively.

02:30:02.680 --> 02:30:07.720
There were cool things about it, but really it was a Mario Kart 8 machine. So if you really loved Mario Kart 8,

02:30:07.720 --> 02:30:11.320
the Wii U was a banger of a console. Yeah, but if not.

02:30:11.320 --> 02:30:14.680
Or like that cool four player.

02:30:14.680 --> 02:30:19.080
Dude. Side scroller. This is the reason why it would still look good to me,

02:30:19.080 --> 02:30:22.120
because I think it was Mario Brothers Wii U,

02:30:22.920 --> 02:30:25.320
something like that. Mario Brothers U, that's what it was.

02:30:26.280 --> 02:30:31.000
You could play four characters playing the actual side scrolling game,

02:30:31.000 --> 02:30:35.480
and then you had one like kind of God mode character that could like put down little platforms for them,

02:30:35.480 --> 02:30:40.360
which ultimately turned into, as someone was jumping, you put down a platform in their way

02:30:40.360 --> 02:30:42.840
so that they smack into it and fall down and you troll your friends.

02:30:43.400 --> 02:30:49.000
That was really fun. The actual like unique controller tablet thing

02:30:49.000 --> 02:30:54.120
was actually really cool. But anyways, the buyers of the Switch,

02:30:55.160 --> 02:30:57.560
the Steam Deck, not the Switch,

02:30:59.480 --> 02:31:05.080
are like really into it. Like I see a surprising amount of them on planes.

02:31:05.080 --> 02:31:08.120
Oh yeah. All the time.

02:31:08.120 --> 02:31:10.920
Oh yeah. And there's that like, wait, what's that?

02:31:11.960 --> 02:31:16.680
And maybe that person who asked that question isn't going to buy it now, because it's like kind of two years old at this point, whatever.

02:31:16.680 --> 02:31:20.680
Three and a half. Three and a half, sure. Wow, that's, wow, it's been a while.

02:31:21.640 --> 02:31:25.000
But they might get interested in other handhelds. They might wait for the next one, whatever.

02:31:25.000 --> 02:31:27.960
But it's that first one that doesn't necessarily sell

02:31:28.520 --> 02:31:32.520
as crazy as it could, just because it wasn't as known.

02:31:32.520 --> 02:31:36.520
And it's quite a daring piece of technology to put out there, like my goodness,

02:31:36.520 --> 02:31:39.960
especially with Steam OS.

02:31:39.960 --> 02:31:42.120
But I suspect the next one will do even better.

02:31:44.120 --> 02:31:45.160
I heard back from Dave.

02:31:51.080 --> 02:31:54.680
Oh, the holidays, sorry. So yeah, sorry, Mr. Calls.

02:31:55.640 --> 02:31:59.080
We do have time to try between Black Friday and Boxing Day.

02:31:59.080 --> 02:32:04.040
Plan was to hold out until the holiday promotions are over to minimize stacking discounted cards

02:32:04.040 --> 02:32:07.320
on additional discounted offers. Yes.

02:32:09.240 --> 02:32:13.320
So that was my understanding too, but apparently we ran it now anyway.

02:32:13.880 --> 02:32:17.640
We'll be tracking redemptions to see how customers spend the cards over time.

02:32:19.240 --> 02:32:22.200
Okay. Well.

02:32:23.400 --> 02:32:26.280
Hope you wanted a cash injection. Nope.

02:32:27.560 --> 02:32:33.160
I'm okay right now. I was, well, I don't know what to say then.

02:32:33.160 --> 02:32:36.680
All I've managed to do today was take a 10% bite

02:32:36.680 --> 02:32:39.960
out of what was going to be the Black Friday cash injection.

02:32:40.840 --> 02:32:43.880
Yeah. Oh, whatever. You know what?

02:32:44.760 --> 02:32:45.560
Merry Christmas.

02:32:48.520 --> 02:32:51.640
Yeah, they'll be fine. They'll be all right. They already got everything.

02:32:51.640 --> 02:32:52.120
Who cares?

02:32:55.080 --> 02:33:02.920
Speaking of not having everything, South Korean government loses 858 terabytes of data in fire.

02:33:04.440 --> 02:33:10.680
Whoa. A battery fire on September 26th consisted of 384 battery packs

02:33:10.680 --> 02:33:14.200
resulted in the destruction of 96 government computer systems.

02:33:14.200 --> 02:33:18.120
Well, 95 of those systems did have some form of backup.

02:33:18.120 --> 02:33:23.320
One system known as the G drive. G meaning government, not Google.

02:33:23.320 --> 02:33:24.520
Reportedly couldn't.

02:33:26.360 --> 02:33:29.640
Okay. Have a backup system due to its large capacity.

02:33:31.160 --> 02:33:33.720
That couldn't is a big word. That's not true.

02:33:34.280 --> 02:33:38.040
Rendering all 858 terabytes completely gone.

02:33:38.040 --> 02:33:43.960
G drive was used by staff to store documents and allocated 30 gigabytes of space per public official.

02:33:43.960 --> 02:33:49.320
So it's all their personal stuff. That's brutal. The Ministry of the Interior and Safety

02:33:49.320 --> 02:33:52.360
originally issued guidelines that all work materials

02:33:52.360 --> 02:33:55.880
should be stored on the G drive. Wow.

02:33:55.880 --> 02:34:00.600
That's nuts. As for the other 95 computers that did have backups,

02:34:00.600 --> 02:34:05.480
only 62% were backed up daily with the remaining 38% backed up monthly.

02:34:05.480 --> 02:34:08.520
That's a big jump. Leaving additional data loss concerns.

02:34:09.160 --> 02:34:11.640
Oh, so there's more than 858 terabytes lost.

02:34:13.000 --> 02:34:17.080
Nice. Wow. Overall, the fire impacted government email,

02:34:17.080 --> 02:34:22.680
online postal services, petition services, and the national 119 emergency service.

02:34:23.240 --> 02:34:26.760
I don't actually know why everyone uses different ones.

02:34:28.040 --> 02:34:31.240
119 feels very inspired by 911.

02:34:32.680 --> 02:34:35.880
That's a very North America centric point of view.

02:34:36.280 --> 02:34:39.720
How do you know 911 wasn't inspired by 119? Telephone.

02:34:39.720 --> 02:34:41.880
Prove it. Who made telephone?

02:34:43.400 --> 02:34:48.840
It was probably the way that I described. I can't guarantee that, but I'm just guessing.

02:34:51.480 --> 02:34:55.240
Emergency services number was first.

02:34:56.120 --> 02:34:59.080
Okay, AI go. 999.

02:35:00.120 --> 02:35:03.960
Wow. Rect. Sure. Why don't we all just use that?

02:35:03.960 --> 02:35:08.520
Absolutely wrecked. Sure. Well, okay. That doesn't actually, that doesn't prove any point.

02:35:08.520 --> 02:35:13.640
Reconnated. That doesn't prove any point. You're talking like, you're sounding like someone who was wrecked.

02:35:13.640 --> 02:35:19.000
That doesn't prove any point. You sound like someone who doesn't know. That doesn't prove any point at all.

02:35:20.360 --> 02:35:23.640
It proves that 911 is not the right one. Sure.

02:35:23.640 --> 02:35:26.520
So 911 should be 999. Sure.

02:35:27.160 --> 02:35:30.200
And 119 should just also be 999.

02:35:30.200 --> 02:35:34.280
Sure. Why does it change? 999 was a bad first choice.

02:35:34.280 --> 02:35:38.920
Yeah, I kind of think you should change it at least once. 999 was for rotary phones.

02:35:39.640 --> 02:35:43.560
Oh, that's interesting, but that would take too long. That would take a really long time.

02:35:45.960 --> 02:35:51.080
Yeah, okay. I mean, some kids still could. Debate 119 versus 911.

02:35:51.080 --> 02:35:54.680
No, I don't think I need to. Anyways, yeah, moving on.

02:35:54.680 --> 02:35:57.480
So it was more than 858 terabytes that they lost.

02:35:59.080 --> 02:36:02.280
Since the incident, one employee involved in the data recovery process has

02:36:04.680 --> 02:36:09.960
taken their own life, themselves. Four other individuals have been arrested

02:36:09.960 --> 02:36:13.080
and are actively being investigated on whether professional negligence

02:36:13.080 --> 02:36:17.640
may have contributed to the fire. Honestly, blaming the employees at this point

02:36:17.640 --> 02:36:20.760
is the least-based thing that you could possibly do.

02:36:20.760 --> 02:36:27.640
I think it's time to just own the responsibility that you didn't feel like spending another 100 grand

02:36:27.640 --> 02:36:31.640
on another petabyte of data to have a second copy of this stuff.

02:36:31.640 --> 02:36:33.960
And, uh, wow.

02:36:35.640 --> 02:36:39.560
The South Korean government has reported a recovery rate of only 17.8%.

02:36:40.600 --> 02:36:46.200
Oh, with a full recovery expected to take a month. How are they possibly hoping to get a full recovery of this

02:36:46.200 --> 02:36:50.440
if it burned down and there wasn't a backup? That just sounds like nonsense.

02:36:52.280 --> 02:36:57.400
I mean, I'll be honest with you. Maybe they mean... No, there's no way I can say maybe they mean the services.

02:36:57.400 --> 02:37:00.440
As someone who has lost data from a petabyte project,

02:37:01.160 --> 02:37:06.520
it was a very conscious decision. I made the decision fully understanding

02:37:06.520 --> 02:37:11.720
that I wasn't backing up this data to not back it up based on cost.

02:37:12.280 --> 02:37:16.040
That was the only reason that we didn't back it up

02:37:16.040 --> 02:37:20.440
because that data was not essential. So it was all archived projects

02:37:21.240 --> 02:37:23.560
and I didn't feel like spending money on it.

02:37:24.680 --> 02:37:28.200
So to hear anything other than we didn't back this up

02:37:28.200 --> 02:37:31.560
because we didn't feel like spending money on it, is horse shit.

02:37:33.320 --> 02:37:38.200
And I throw it at you. I have no idea on the legitimacy of this,

02:37:38.200 --> 02:37:41.560
but it's mullets in full point chat said the fire also happened

02:37:41.560 --> 02:37:45.080
on the same day investigation was supposed to start on corruption related things.

02:37:48.760 --> 02:37:50.600
Okay, so there's more to it. Maybe.

02:37:52.440 --> 02:37:56.360
I don't know. That's not from our notes. I have no idea. But if you're interested, maybe...

02:37:56.360 --> 02:37:58.920
Nae Nae says they did have two copies

02:37:59.560 --> 02:38:03.000
on the same system in the same data center. You knew what I meant, Nae Nae.

02:38:09.000 --> 02:38:12.680
All right. Are we talking about... Oh wait, have we finished sponsors yet?

02:38:12.680 --> 02:38:15.960
This thing, no. Uh, no.

02:38:15.960 --> 02:38:19.800
We have one topic left, so we should probably do those right now.

02:38:19.800 --> 02:38:23.000
Yeah, I won't. And then we can talk about the steam machine after that.

02:38:23.640 --> 02:38:29.320
Oh, okay. Once I get it back together. YouTube no longer permabands people.

02:38:29.320 --> 02:38:33.400
It used to be that YouTube took steps. Wait, shouldn't we do the sponsors?

02:38:33.400 --> 02:38:38.040
I thought you wanted to do a topic. We have to do the sponsors so that we have one topic left after that.

02:38:38.040 --> 02:38:41.160
They'll have After Dark after that. So we do sponsors in that After Dark?

02:38:42.200 --> 02:38:45.720
Yeah. Okay. After Dark is great. People love After Dark.

02:38:45.720 --> 02:38:48.440
They'll stay for After Dark. Okay, sure. It's the best part of the show.

02:38:49.000 --> 02:38:53.080
Yeah. I just, I just force my way through the rest of it. I only like After Dark.

02:38:53.080 --> 02:38:58.520
Pretty much. I'm kidding.

02:38:58.520 --> 02:39:01.960
We have to wade through the topic so we can get to the real juice.

02:39:02.840 --> 02:39:07.160
Anyway, so it used to be that YouTube would permaband you

02:39:07.160 --> 02:39:11.080
and then you were permaband. And they took steps to prevent you from creating a new account.

02:39:11.640 --> 02:39:14.920
Well, now YouTube believes in second chances.

02:39:16.040 --> 02:39:19.960
Our long held approach of enforcing lifetime terminations can be difficult for creators.

02:39:21.000 --> 02:39:25.400
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, appeals. Starting today, some previously terminated creators

02:39:25.400 --> 02:39:29.560
will have the opportunity to request a new YouTube channel.

02:39:31.240 --> 02:39:36.120
This is a fresh start. You can re-upload any of your prior videos

02:39:36.120 --> 02:39:41.080
that are within our community guidelines. How will you decide who gets a new channel?

02:39:41.080 --> 02:39:46.440
Oh God, man, there's some stuff that just like... That's heavy. There's people that really should not be let back on the platform.

02:39:46.440 --> 02:39:49.960
100%. Whether the creator committed particularly severe

02:39:49.960 --> 02:39:53.480
or persistent violations, whether the creator is on or off platform activity harmed

02:39:53.480 --> 02:40:00.280
or may continue to harm the YouTube community, like channels that endanger kids' safety, that's good.

02:40:01.640 --> 02:40:08.200
Not everybody seems to be that concerned with holding accountable people who endanger kids' safety.

02:40:08.200 --> 02:40:12.360
There's some files, I think, that there's probably

02:40:12.360 --> 02:40:15.720
some people are hoping would burn down in a government data center fire.

02:40:16.840 --> 02:40:20.520
But I don't know, at some point... Yeah, we should probably release those files,

02:40:20.520 --> 02:40:23.560
all of them, every single part. Should release all of them. Yeah.

02:40:24.520 --> 02:40:29.080
Don't leave anything out. What about monetization? You can apply for it.

02:40:32.280 --> 02:40:35.480
Okay, man, I'm having real mixed feelings on this.

02:40:35.480 --> 02:40:40.520
I feel like having this be like, at our discretion, maybe some people will maybe be allowed,

02:40:41.160 --> 02:40:45.160
is a huge can of worms. And I just don't understand why they would open it up.

02:40:45.160 --> 02:40:48.680
Because if they don't let someone back, they're making like a...

02:40:48.680 --> 02:40:51.960
They're making... Because everything's polarized now.

02:40:51.960 --> 02:40:55.880
Oh yeah. If they don't let someone back, they're making a specific judgment

02:40:55.880 --> 02:40:59.560
about that specific individual. And if they do allow someone back,

02:40:59.560 --> 02:41:03.480
they're making a specific judgment about that specific individual.

02:41:03.480 --> 02:41:08.280
Like, there was this... One of the first channels that I was aware of being banned,

02:41:08.280 --> 02:41:12.200
probably wasn't the first channel to ever be banned, but it was a big channel.

02:41:12.920 --> 02:41:17.160
And it getting banned was kind of a big deal, was this channel called David's Farm.

02:41:17.960 --> 02:41:21.000
And it was kind of a lot of what it sounds like.

02:41:21.000 --> 02:41:25.960
Just like, it was a very early farming YouTube channel.

02:41:26.920 --> 02:41:30.120
But there was very unsafe,

02:41:31.320 --> 02:41:35.080
very disgusting animal cruelty stuff that happened.

02:41:35.960 --> 02:41:39.640
And just egregious violations of anything

02:41:39.640 --> 02:41:43.160
that would be considered remotely acceptable for upload to YouTube.

02:41:43.160 --> 02:41:44.360
And I'm sitting here going like,

02:41:46.360 --> 02:41:48.440
would they let someone who...

02:41:49.400 --> 02:41:54.680
Content warning. Extremely graphic description incoming.

02:41:54.680 --> 02:41:58.440
So mute your mic for a second. And I'm gonna go like this when it's safe.

02:42:00.440 --> 02:42:05.880
Mute your mic. Hear headphones. Yeah. Like, this is a channel that took a live pig,

02:42:06.440 --> 02:42:10.200
pinned it down, and chainsawed it in half while alive.

02:42:11.720 --> 02:42:12.280
Safe now.

02:42:16.520 --> 02:42:22.920
Why? That is a person that clearly is disturbed in the head

02:42:24.040 --> 02:42:28.280
and does not need to share anything they have to say with anybody.

02:42:29.080 --> 02:42:31.880
Sorry, I'm standing by that.

02:42:32.440 --> 02:42:32.680
Yeah.

02:42:37.160 --> 02:42:41.080
You know? So if I see something like that come back,

02:42:41.080 --> 02:42:45.320
I'm sitting here going, no, lifetime ban was the right kind of ban. You know, I don't know, dude.

02:42:47.720 --> 02:42:51.560
Like, that is, like, that's just, it's monstrous, you know?

02:42:55.960 --> 02:42:59.560
Yeah. There's a lot of people saying that it has to do with Trump's ban.

02:43:01.320 --> 02:43:08.200
So, oh, so this is just a policy to have something to point at

02:43:08.200 --> 02:43:13.560
when they violate what previously would have been the policy

02:43:13.560 --> 02:43:18.040
and reinstate an account. You think it's that simple? They're just, it might be.

02:43:18.040 --> 02:43:20.520
I just, I've seen some comments about this. I have no idea.

02:43:21.480 --> 02:43:25.000
Where's my thing? We don't have any notes on that.

02:43:25.000 --> 02:43:29.960
I don't know anything about it. I thought Trump's ban was overturned, like, quite a while ago,

02:43:30.520 --> 02:43:33.000
but like you said, maybe it's just something to point to now.

02:43:33.960 --> 02:43:38.040
No idea. Interesting. I honestly didn't even know he was banned off YouTube.

02:43:38.760 --> 02:43:41.880
Oh, yeah, yeah. It was after the January 6th thing.

02:43:41.880 --> 02:43:45.240
Oh, yeah. That makes sense. But he was reinstated in 2023.

02:43:46.360 --> 02:43:51.560
Yeah, I don't know. So, who knows?

02:43:52.200 --> 02:43:55.480
Yeah. Moon pies.

02:43:56.520 --> 02:43:58.040
What a time to be alive.

02:44:00.840 --> 02:44:03.880
It's going to be after dark in a minute. Let's get through a couple of slides.

02:44:03.880 --> 02:44:06.520
That sounds like two minute papers. I mean, what?

02:44:07.400 --> 02:44:10.840
What a paper. Time to be alive. Love that, man.

02:44:11.880 --> 02:44:15.400
What do you want? This. Yeah, after the sponsor spots.

02:44:15.400 --> 02:44:20.520
Okay. For the love of God. Okay. The show is brought to you today by whatever Luke didn't read already.

02:44:20.520 --> 02:44:23.560
Start with Squarespace. Hey, Luke. Knock, knock.

02:44:24.360 --> 02:44:29.240
Who's there? Definitely not a door-to-door salesman,

02:44:29.240 --> 02:44:33.320
because they've probably got an awesome website instead built with Squarespace.

02:44:36.200 --> 02:44:39.640
It's really easy to do, thanks to professionally curated templates

02:44:39.640 --> 02:44:45.720
that'll get you started off right. They also adopt a code-free drag and drop approach

02:44:45.720 --> 02:44:50.680
to customization with their Fluid Engine Editor, so practically anyone can bring their vision to life.

02:44:51.320 --> 02:44:54.520
If you ever get stuck on anything, with a few quick prompts,

02:44:54.520 --> 02:44:58.600
their AI tools can lend a hand. And if you're selling tangible goods or even services,

02:44:58.600 --> 02:45:02.360
you can take payments directly from your site with support for all major credit cards

02:45:02.360 --> 02:45:05.560
and other popular methods. Is Clona in there? Yeah, it is.

02:45:06.520 --> 02:45:09.960
So start building your website today and get 10% off your first purchase

02:45:09.960 --> 02:45:16.520
by visiting squarespace.com. That was the worst thing I have ever read.

02:45:19.400 --> 02:45:22.680
Knock, knock. Who's there? Not a door-to-door salesman,

02:45:22.680 --> 02:45:25.240
because they have a website that uses Squarespace.

02:45:26.600 --> 02:45:31.400
Oh my God. The show is also brought to you by Ubiquiti.

02:45:31.400 --> 02:45:36.840
We hosted our inaugural Whale Land event at Smash Chance last week, two weeks ago.

02:45:37.400 --> 02:45:42.120
I think it was two weeks ago. And while we're still working on our video taking you deep behind the scenes

02:45:42.120 --> 02:45:46.440
and checking out some of the setup, coming soon, TM, we can show you this picture.

02:45:48.200 --> 02:45:52.520
Okay, that's Chase. It's Chase. Thanks for all your hard work, Chase.

02:45:52.520 --> 02:45:54.680
And also thanks to our sponsor, Ubiquiti.

02:45:55.720 --> 02:46:00.200
They've powered up all of our networking. And boy, was there a lot to consider

02:46:00.760 --> 02:46:05.560
for making sure that our 8v8 gaming setup was operational, video coming soon as well, TM,

02:46:05.560 --> 02:46:10.280
to keeping all 250 attendees gaming throughout the weekend.

02:46:10.920 --> 02:46:14.120
Good thing their latest Pro XG48 PoE switches

02:46:14.120 --> 02:46:17.640
and access points are simple to deploy and reach up to 10 gig speeds.

02:46:18.200 --> 02:46:22.680
It might seem like a lot of things to keep track of, but fortunately their license-free Unify site manager

02:46:22.680 --> 02:46:26.040
has a clean user-friendly design. So whether it's for personal use,

02:46:26.040 --> 02:46:30.920
for large events, or even massive stadiums, you can count on Ubiquiti to make networking easy.

02:46:31.480 --> 02:46:35.080
Go to LMG.GG slash Ubiquiti LAN today

02:46:35.080 --> 02:46:41.320
to unify your networking with Ubiquiti. That's U-B-I-Q-U-I-T-I-L-A-N.

02:46:42.120 --> 02:46:43.720
We'll have that linked in the video description.

02:46:47.080 --> 02:46:50.600
It's after dark, let's do it. All right, that sounds good to me.

02:46:50.600 --> 02:46:53.560
Oh, wait. Do you have another topic? Did you do...

02:46:55.480 --> 02:46:59.160
Oh, yeah. Show us. It's not quite done.

02:46:59.160 --> 02:47:00.760
I'll bring it over right now. Okay.

02:47:02.200 --> 02:47:05.480
All right, just make sure it still works. Still works.

02:47:05.480 --> 02:47:08.920
I mean, why don't you just point your camera? I heard him do a little squeak,

02:47:08.920 --> 02:47:12.040
and I knew he got it. I knew something happened.

02:47:12.040 --> 02:47:15.080
I was earlier the show, I was like... I got the dopamine squeak.

02:47:15.080 --> 02:47:18.520
Yes, exactly, I heard it. And I was like, oop, we're getting something good.

02:47:20.040 --> 02:47:24.040
I don't know what exactly, like I don't know if the... Maybe he just got the light to turn on or something, but...

02:47:26.520 --> 02:47:30.040
Is it boot? I don't know. No screen, I guess?

02:47:31.320 --> 02:47:35.640
Yeah. Okay, well, we'll see what happens. I guess you want to give me your HDMI cable?

02:47:35.640 --> 02:47:38.040
Sure. Dude, I'm so stoked.

02:47:38.920 --> 02:47:41.240
I don't want to throw my bottle. There we go. I actually work for...

02:47:42.200 --> 02:47:45.800
Been intermittent. Somebody's... Oh, my power cable's not here anymore.

02:47:46.600 --> 02:47:49.720
Crunched a bunch of cables in there, maybe when they tried to reassemble it.

02:47:50.520 --> 02:47:53.640
I don't know what you're talking about. So...

02:47:53.640 --> 02:47:57.400
He's blaming me. Can you believe he's blaming me? I don't think he was.

02:47:57.400 --> 02:48:00.040
Oh, he was. Dan, you were blaming me, right?

02:48:00.600 --> 02:48:03.720
No, I don't know. Might have been sent from factory like that.

02:48:04.440 --> 02:48:08.920
See? God, it's British humor.

02:48:10.520 --> 02:48:14.680
That's surely it's the funniest. You know, I mean, it wasn't in your position

02:48:14.680 --> 02:48:20.280
for so many years. I just assumed he meant somebody else. No, he wouldn't take shots at some random.

02:48:22.040 --> 02:48:24.200
I mean, it was a blameless accusation.

02:48:25.400 --> 02:48:29.640
See, you can tell from his tone. You can tell from his tone how blameful it is.

02:48:29.640 --> 02:48:34.120
I've seen enough insides of things that just blame a general person,

02:48:34.120 --> 02:48:36.360
and then they can be guilty. See, he blamed the general.

02:48:39.320 --> 02:48:42.840
Oh, I wonder if the front button is actually...

02:48:42.840 --> 02:48:45.480
Make sure not to dock someone with pulling up the sign in.

02:48:47.160 --> 02:48:49.560
What? I mean,

02:48:52.520 --> 02:48:56.440
I think the sign in is probably going to be a username,

02:48:56.440 --> 02:48:58.920
worst case scenario. I think we're probably going to be okay.

02:48:59.640 --> 02:49:03.000
Watch it be like full first and last name of a Valve employee.

02:49:03.000 --> 02:49:06.680
I know, right? I mean, it'd be pretty funny.

02:49:08.840 --> 02:49:12.360
There's no way they still work that way. No, they haven't even noticed, have they? Gabe, no. Valve.

02:49:12.360 --> 02:49:16.600
Oh, hey, look. Look at Glove. Hey! Yeah, were you going to bring it over here, Dan?

02:49:16.600 --> 02:49:20.920
Yeah, why was it over here? We want to put it on the screen so people can see.

02:49:23.400 --> 02:49:27.000
Well, in fairness to him, the first thing I said was, Dan, why don't we just do it over there?

02:49:27.240 --> 02:49:31.080
So did you take away the power cable?

02:49:31.080 --> 02:49:33.960
He needs the power cable. Can I have that, please? Come on, hey.

02:49:45.000 --> 02:49:46.120
Dan, you hit the mic.

02:49:49.240 --> 02:49:52.280
God. Some people's kids, man.

02:49:52.920 --> 02:49:57.480
Okay. Should we move the banner so they can see?

02:49:57.480 --> 02:50:00.600
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like up or like, oh, hold on. He just sat down. We don't need it.

02:50:00.600 --> 02:50:05.880
No, no, no, we don't. Is that opaque or is it transparent? You know what, just add a bit more translucency.

02:50:05.880 --> 02:50:08.120
That way people's merge messages can still show. Yes.

02:50:09.560 --> 02:50:11.560
Please. Yes.

02:50:12.600 --> 02:50:14.680
Thank you. Hey, there we go. Oh, wow.

02:50:18.120 --> 02:50:20.280
Did you, what? Did you push it correctly?

02:50:22.760 --> 02:50:27.000
What the heck? Yeah, who broke it now, smart guy?

02:50:27.000 --> 02:50:30.040
As far as I can tell, Linus had it back for like a minute

02:50:30.040 --> 02:50:32.760
and just destroyed everything. No way. That was, no.

02:50:33.320 --> 02:50:36.680
That sounds. I destroyed nothing. That sounds lower accurate.

02:50:36.680 --> 02:50:40.120
No, I destroyed nothing. That sounds lower accurate to me.

02:50:41.560 --> 02:50:44.760
Stop. Oh, I'm just not sure if this fan's going to be able to spin.

02:50:45.560 --> 02:50:49.320
The mount on it is broken. Yeah. It's really temperamental.

02:50:50.280 --> 02:50:54.440
Oh, okay. So, so it broke.

02:50:58.360 --> 02:51:02.040
Yeah, I think maybe it's broken. I want to, I want to display.

02:51:02.040 --> 02:51:05.160
Oh, that was barely in there. It was in there.

02:51:06.040 --> 02:51:09.320
That was barely in there. It was totally in there. You don't want to plug things in?

02:51:09.320 --> 02:51:12.840
I know. I'm going to start to touch him. Plug in the freaking cable.

02:51:12.840 --> 02:51:18.920
It was plugged in. What was that, dude? He pulled it out with like one one hundredth of a pound of force.

02:51:20.280 --> 02:51:25.000
Oh, is it off again? No, it just hasn't turned on in a while.

02:51:25.000 --> 02:51:28.280
I plugged it in. No, you did not. I did.

02:51:28.280 --> 02:51:31.640
You did not at all. I did plug it in. You did not. I did.

02:51:31.640 --> 02:51:35.880
They can't see it. It was not properly plugged in. It was plugged in at all.

02:51:35.880 --> 02:51:40.920
You know what? It's possible. Dan, what do you think? I don't know. Whoever plugged it in last time probably didn't plug it in.

02:51:42.520 --> 02:51:46.200
It was on here like this. I probably plugged it in until it hit this.

02:51:46.200 --> 02:51:49.960
It was very difficult to plug in. It's a line assist defense.

02:51:49.960 --> 02:51:53.560
I think that, I think that's probably what happened is I plugged it in and it felt like it moved

02:51:53.560 --> 02:51:56.920
and then it hit this thing right here because it hangs down a little bit. Yeah, that makes sense.

02:51:56.920 --> 02:52:00.680
That's dumb. Because the power cable has a bit of a... I didn't plug it in.

02:52:00.680 --> 02:52:03.800
Box and something. Do we have an, is there an output at all? Checking.

02:52:03.800 --> 02:52:06.920
On my laptop? That's what it was before.

02:52:06.920 --> 02:52:10.360
Oh yeah, that seems to be cash. Yeah, that's the last frame it had.

02:52:10.360 --> 02:52:15.000
I have 800 by 600.

02:52:15.640 --> 02:52:21.720
Oh, okay. So that's probably a biosplash screen then. Let me, so you're a Luke laptop.

02:52:21.720 --> 02:52:24.520
Wait, you took the storage drive out of it down. How the hell are we supposed to boot it?

02:52:25.160 --> 02:52:29.400
Well, the fact that it turned on I think is good enough. I'll bring that over back in one sec.

02:52:29.960 --> 02:52:33.560
Let's just make sure that we can get. Oh, well, I mean, yeah. I think we wanted to see what it...

02:52:33.560 --> 02:52:39.160
That was why we were going to show the screen. Why do I even know it was going to work in like five minutes ago?

02:52:39.160 --> 02:52:41.560
That's fair. I am happy we got the ring.

02:52:45.960 --> 02:52:48.440
Yeah, he wants it to not work. It's better for camera.

02:52:49.080 --> 02:52:54.120
No, I wanted to... Oh, yes. Sorry, I forgot that was in our script. You know, fail for content or whatever?

02:52:54.120 --> 02:52:58.680
Yeah, that's all we do. That is not a principle for us. He did mean to play it properly.

02:52:58.680 --> 02:53:00.440
Core tenant. But he just knew the views...

02:53:04.360 --> 02:53:10.680
What? What do you do? He dropped the drive directly onto the motherboard.

02:53:10.680 --> 02:53:17.160
That's amazing. But you can't make the stuff up, dude. It's just...

02:53:17.160 --> 02:53:18.280
It's a padded drive.

02:53:20.200 --> 02:53:22.200
It's cushioned. Oh, my goodness.

02:53:25.320 --> 02:53:28.440
This man's an icon. Oh, man.

02:53:30.520 --> 02:53:33.960
All right, we'll see how this goes. All right. Well, maybe it won't.

02:53:33.960 --> 02:53:41.400
We can do... Yeah. That... Yeah, we can start merge messages while we tinker around with this.

02:53:44.200 --> 02:53:47.640
Uh, sure. Yeah, let's see. Dan, have you been doing merge messages at all?

02:53:48.440 --> 02:53:51.800
Well, we have had like 300.

02:53:51.800 --> 02:53:55.000
So I've been trying. Oh, my God.

02:53:55.000 --> 02:53:58.280
This is... What hole went into it on some of these? Oh, my God. This is...

02:53:58.280 --> 02:54:02.840
Dude, this is f***ed. We're good. This guy bought $300 in gift cards.

02:54:07.800 --> 02:54:10.520
Is anybody buying anything other than gift cards?

02:54:10.840 --> 02:54:13.480
Some people said they might buy stuff.

02:54:14.440 --> 02:54:19.800
Oh, my God. Someone bought the gift card and super discounted swim trunks.

02:54:21.080 --> 02:54:23.800
And a pin. Well, the pin was free.

02:54:25.080 --> 02:54:25.400
F***.

02:54:28.920 --> 02:54:32.120
We had a deal, you guys. You're going to buy profitable stuff.

02:54:34.120 --> 02:54:38.120
Oh, my God. So many people are buying like $250 gift cards

02:54:38.120 --> 02:54:40.840
or like multiple $100 gift cards.

02:54:41.720 --> 02:54:48.200
What is this order? $242, $100 freaking gift card.

02:54:48.200 --> 02:54:54.440
Okay. No, you bought a couple of scribe drivers. Thank you, Jacob, for being a team player.

02:54:56.840 --> 02:55:03.720
So I'm going to jump in the incoming and help Dan. Okay. Uh, uh, I mean, uh, Dan left.

02:55:05.080 --> 02:55:08.200
He just left. He was there and he left. I might have too.

02:55:08.200 --> 02:55:11.320
Luke, we're on our own now. We could do it.

02:55:11.320 --> 02:55:15.000
We're fine. Oh, well, that's the, that's the steam machine.

02:55:15.560 --> 02:55:19.720
So much for that. Okay. So should I just do curated ones on my own?

02:55:20.360 --> 02:55:22.440
I can read it to you if you want. No, I'll do it. I'll do it.

02:55:23.720 --> 02:55:27.480
Joseph Bees writes, what how when showers?

02:55:27.480 --> 02:55:32.520
I managed to see the Joseph musical in the summer. It was great and brought back memories.

02:55:33.080 --> 02:55:36.120
Just wondering what makes it special to Linus.

02:55:36.120 --> 02:55:41.480
May I suggest PC build guide? The musical, you know, with Riley's talents.

02:55:43.640 --> 02:55:47.880
That could actually be pretty great. Some of those sponsors. I feel like I would really enjoy it.

02:55:47.880 --> 02:55:51.240
Dude, the, um, that's right over your power button. Just the heads up.

02:55:51.240 --> 02:55:54.760
The, whatever the most recent one was, uh,

02:55:54.760 --> 02:55:58.200
Oh, on the underwater, the underwater, um, Yes.

02:55:58.200 --> 02:56:02.280
That one, the spot on there is hilarious. I think I watched it twice or three times.

02:56:02.280 --> 02:56:07.400
Yep. Oh dude, amazing. I think a lot of people from the thumbnail, by the way,

02:56:07.400 --> 02:56:10.360
might have assumed that was another like pool cleaner or something.

02:56:10.920 --> 02:56:15.640
Yeah, we're working on updating the thumbnail. I think we're going to change the thing in my hand to a boom box.

02:56:16.760 --> 02:56:20.760
So then it seems like a little less obviously a product.

02:56:20.760 --> 02:56:25.400
The reason we use that Bluetooth speaker was just because it seemed like,

02:56:25.400 --> 02:56:29.560
so a, it tied into the initial research I did,

02:56:29.560 --> 02:56:34.040
trying to find a solution where it was just a bunch of stupid Bluetooth speakers.

02:56:34.040 --> 02:56:39.800
That advertise themselves as being waterproof, but actually what they meant was can get splashed on a little bit,

02:56:39.800 --> 02:56:44.440
not like under, so I searched for underwater speaker and I ended up with a bunch of stupid Bluetooth speakers.

02:56:44.440 --> 02:56:49.960
So it was kind of, it was kind of supposed to tie in with that. And also it just clearly looks like a speaker,

02:56:49.960 --> 02:56:53.080
you know, to the modern audience.

02:56:53.080 --> 02:56:59.560
But I think that the boom, but to your point, I think it looks sponsored, but it's not super.

02:56:59.560 --> 02:57:03.720
I understood it wasn't, which is why I clicked on it, but it immediately looked very sponsored.

02:57:03.720 --> 02:57:06.920
Yeah. So I think if we change it to a boom box above the water,

02:57:06.920 --> 02:57:09.640
then that will sell it a little bit better as what it is.

02:57:11.000 --> 02:57:15.320
Anyway, what's special about it for me is I think it was one of the first musicals I ever saw.

02:57:15.320 --> 02:57:18.840
I went with my auntie and it was just, it was just such a great show.

02:57:18.840 --> 02:57:22.760
It was such a, it was such a magic, awesome experience.

02:57:22.760 --> 02:57:27.480
It, it set off what turned out to be a lifelong love of musical theater,

02:57:27.480 --> 02:57:33.880
live theater in general. And Donnie is just such an incredible star.

02:57:34.600 --> 02:57:36.840
It was when Donnie Osmond was playing Joseph.

02:57:38.200 --> 02:57:41.320
And so yeah, when I saw it most recently with him playing Pharaoh,

02:57:41.320 --> 02:57:45.080
such a cool like full circle moment.

02:57:45.080 --> 02:57:48.200
And it was just magic, man. It's a, it's a great show.

02:57:48.200 --> 02:57:52.200
It's just pure fun. It doesn't, oh my God, it booted up.

02:57:54.200 --> 02:57:58.680
Want to show the people? Yeah, I would like to. Do you want to use Luke's cam or my cam rather?

02:58:02.840 --> 02:58:08.520
Dan, push the button. I did. Oh, is there a pastor?

02:58:08.520 --> 02:58:12.360
Well, no. Yeah. I mean, you'll have to move the camera, Dan, because it's not pointed at that.

02:58:12.360 --> 02:58:15.560
I thought it was. Yeah. He's tethered with headphones. This is hilarious.

02:58:15.560 --> 02:58:19.000
Also, your producer cam thing is up. Right. Just go to the wiping.

02:58:19.000 --> 02:58:22.360
You can only do two things at a time. Okay.

02:58:22.360 --> 02:58:29.240
There you go. Nailed it. Perfection. Okay. Just, you're good, Dan.

02:58:29.240 --> 02:58:33.000
That's fine. It's good enough. We don't have a keyboard though, Dan.

02:58:33.640 --> 02:58:39.080
Oh my God. Does it need something? Well, I mean, I, it depends if we've, and he's gone.

02:58:41.240 --> 02:58:43.320
Cool. Good merge message. I'm going to archive it now.

02:58:44.760 --> 02:58:47.400
Adam R writes, greetings DLL.

02:58:48.200 --> 02:58:51.480
It is genuinely hard to pitch slash explain

02:58:52.200 --> 02:58:58.600
YouTuber merch and there isn't really a better term. Have you considered brand names for your clothing outside of LTT Store?

02:58:59.320 --> 02:59:07.160
Linus tech styles. That one's free. We are going to transition to using more creator warehouse branding for like our

02:59:07.160 --> 02:59:11.480
blank products with the idea being that eventually maybe other creators would

02:59:11.480 --> 02:59:21.160
use our blanks as well. Beyond that, I think we've discussed switching over to LTT rather than Linus.

02:59:22.280 --> 02:59:28.360
Um, and then LTT Store could still just work and we just kind of move away from the Linus-ness.

02:59:28.360 --> 02:59:32.760
Like our old stealth hoodie, for instance, was like a black on black, so it was still stealthy,

02:59:32.760 --> 02:59:35.800
but it just had like Linus tech tips and giant text down the ARM.

02:59:35.800 --> 02:59:42.120
We very rarely put my name on anything anymore and that's, that's highly intentional.

02:59:43.240 --> 02:59:48.440
Um, Dan is doing things over there, so I'm just going to switch over to that camera.

02:59:49.000 --> 02:59:56.600
But yes, it has occurred to us, but right now our overall sales volumes are so relatively low

02:59:56.600 --> 03:00:00.760
that splitting out and creating a new product line with a different brand.

03:00:01.960 --> 03:00:05.720
I feel like all it would really serve to do is split our run rate and I don't see how we could,

03:00:06.760 --> 03:00:15.000
how we could justify it. We still, honestly speaking, are not that good at selling outside of

03:00:15.960 --> 03:00:24.840
promoting it through our like YouTube channels. We still have a lot to learn about marketing without leaning on the YouTube channels as a crutch.

03:00:28.520 --> 03:00:31.560
Our unique username says Linus. That was the opposite of stealthy.

03:00:31.560 --> 03:00:34.520
That was a shiny Linus cringe. It wasn't shiny.

03:00:35.080 --> 03:00:37.880
It was like, it was like matte black on black.

03:00:39.160 --> 03:00:42.840
Yes, I agree. It's too much and that's why we don't do it anymore,

03:00:42.840 --> 03:00:48.200
but I really don't think it was shiny that I don't think I can agree with that.

03:00:48.200 --> 03:00:52.920
Sorry. Luke and Linus writes Gabriel.

03:00:53.880 --> 03:01:03.160
You've talked about making sandals in the past. Have you thought about making boots or FR clothing work in the oil and gas industry?

03:01:03.160 --> 03:01:06.600
And FR is required. P.S. play payday three.

03:01:07.640 --> 03:01:19.640
You mean like fire resistant? Yeah, flame, yeah. Yeah, so we looked at doing flame retardant like either like the base material itself

03:01:19.640 --> 03:01:28.760
or with coatings on the workshop jacket and ultimately I forget whether it was due to

03:01:28.760 --> 03:01:33.960
like the chemical nature or we really liked the material we were using and it just wasn't

03:01:33.960 --> 03:01:37.240
or if it was a certification thing, we're very low volume.

03:01:37.240 --> 03:01:45.320
Like that's the thing to kind of remember always is that we are, you know, a big

03:01:46.040 --> 03:01:52.280
YouTuber organization, but a little bitty company in the grand scheme of things.

03:01:52.280 --> 03:02:00.600
Like we are we are ants under which the giant boots of companies like Nestle descend upon

03:02:00.600 --> 03:02:04.280
and crush like we're not a huge player in the grand scheme of things.

03:02:04.280 --> 03:02:12.040
So like this is impacting our ability to do cables, for instance, our USB cables are coming,

03:02:12.040 --> 03:02:17.560
but certain display cables not going to name any names have just

03:02:20.040 --> 03:02:29.800
unbelievable fees associated with every single SKU at every single length that could prevent us

03:02:29.800 --> 03:02:33.320
from being able to make that type of display cable at all.

03:02:35.160 --> 03:02:38.280
Because we just we just don't do that kind of volume.

03:02:38.280 --> 03:02:50.280
So no plans for fire resistant clothing in the near future as for boots, very unlikely as well.

03:02:50.280 --> 03:02:58.360
Doing doing boots requires different molds for every single size.

03:02:58.360 --> 03:03:05.080
And I mean, I feel like you could you could probably go to like a Chinese boot factory

03:03:05.080 --> 03:03:09.640
or something like that and they'd be able to do the molds for you for a fraction of what you'd

03:03:09.640 --> 03:03:16.200
be able to do somewhere else, but between tariffs and between it being very challenging to control

03:03:16.200 --> 03:03:22.120
the quality of a product like that, I just don't really see what we'd be adding to the boot category.

03:03:22.120 --> 03:03:28.040
If that situation ever changes, if we find a really outstanding factory and we find a really

03:03:28.040 --> 03:03:32.840
outstanding reason for our boots to exist, never say never.

03:03:32.840 --> 03:03:37.640
But there are absolutely no plans for the near future also duly noted on the payday three recommendation.

03:03:37.800 --> 03:03:46.040
Oh, wow, I can do a couple more if you want.

03:03:46.040 --> 03:03:52.120
No idea how to read this, but here's a merge message from this.

03:03:53.000 --> 03:03:55.400
Yeah, love from China.

03:03:56.200 --> 03:04:01.720
Do you think that it is ethically defensible for Apple to apply double standards

03:04:01.720 --> 03:04:06.680
when it comes to trading profit for surrendering iCloud servers to our government?

03:04:07.880 --> 03:04:11.480
What would you do if you were in our situation?

03:04:12.680 --> 03:04:20.600
No, I don't think it's defensible at all. I mean, this is one of the things that drives me so nuts about Apple.

03:04:21.320 --> 03:04:26.120
And it's one of the things that Apple users flipping hate when I talk about because there is

03:04:26.920 --> 03:04:33.560
no defense of this. You can't get on stage and talk about how important user privacy is to you.

03:04:34.120 --> 03:04:39.880
You can't beat your chest and talk about how uncompromising you are about user privacy

03:04:42.360 --> 03:04:49.560
when you have user data in data centers that the Chinese government has unlimited access to.

03:04:50.920 --> 03:05:00.680
I'm sorry, but you don't get to do that. And yeah, the Chinese government would probably just lock Apple out of the Chinese market

03:05:00.680 --> 03:05:03.560
if they refused to surrender that access.

03:05:05.160 --> 03:05:08.920
But that's bims the brakes then.

03:05:10.840 --> 03:05:18.280
So you can't say privacy first, profit second if actually when push comes to shove, it's the other one.

03:05:20.040 --> 03:05:24.840
And look, it's not like Apple's any different from the vast majority of other companies

03:05:24.840 --> 03:05:29.160
who would make the same decision. Fine, just own it then.

03:05:29.240 --> 03:05:32.440
That's all I'm asking. Just don't bullshit me.

03:05:33.320 --> 03:05:41.400
Just say, yeah, we will comply with whatever laws in order to make sure that we can continue doing

03:05:41.400 --> 03:05:44.520
business in whatever key region. Just say that then.

03:05:47.160 --> 03:05:50.200
Don't pretend to be better than anybody. That's all.

03:05:55.000 --> 03:05:56.680
Next up. BIOS.

03:06:01.320 --> 03:06:05.640
Okay. Okay. So we're in the BIOS. Is our boot drive showing up?

03:06:05.640 --> 03:06:08.600
Yeah, I didn't see it there. Yeah, there it is. Oh, cool. Okay.

03:06:09.640 --> 03:06:15.320
Man, that is a fun looking BIOS. Look at, man, when did BIOS just get so boring?

03:06:15.320 --> 03:06:20.280
There it goes, don't worry. Yeah, look at that. That's awesome. Do you think it might need something like...

03:06:20.280 --> 03:06:25.320
Oh, like CSM or something?

03:06:25.320 --> 03:06:29.320
Or, no, not CSM, the stupid legacy boot mode.

03:06:29.320 --> 03:06:35.800
Hold on, just go to exit. Go to the exit one. Because sometimes the exit tab will just have a boot to this particular device.

03:06:35.800 --> 03:06:36.680
Oh, yeah, this one too.

03:06:41.160 --> 03:06:45.480
Nope, no dice. Yeah, back to boot then. Hard drive boot priorities, boot option one.

03:06:45.480 --> 03:06:50.200
I mean, if it shows up as a boot option, theoretically, it should just go, right?

03:06:50.680 --> 03:06:53.480
Oh, legacy only. Want to change storage to either?

03:06:56.280 --> 03:06:59.560
Oh, no, UFI only. Okay, so we already tried legacy then.

03:06:59.560 --> 03:07:02.040
Do you want to try UFI? Sure. Okay, let's see what happens.

03:07:05.400 --> 03:07:09.720
F10. If F10 doesn't work, it's illegal.

03:07:10.360 --> 03:07:13.880
Okay. Okay. Put them in jail. BIOS jail.

03:07:13.880 --> 03:07:19.480
Yep. Kevin B asks, Linus, any updates on your daily driving of the AirPods Pro 3s?

03:07:19.480 --> 03:07:22.760
I'm really looking forward to hearing your thoughts after using them for a while after

03:07:22.760 --> 03:07:25.800
your fiery first impressions on ShortCircuit.

03:07:27.480 --> 03:07:32.040
I flew to Dallas, Texas earlier this week.

03:07:35.320 --> 03:07:43.400
The noise cancellation on the AirPods Pro 3s is so good that on a jet aircraft,

03:07:44.200 --> 03:07:50.280
I could have just as easily been cruising at like 50 miles an hour on the highway.

03:07:50.280 --> 03:07:53.240
Wow. Like, wow.

03:07:53.800 --> 03:08:02.760
It is so good that I actually kind of wish that Apple had like a staged or a faded,

03:08:03.320 --> 03:08:08.760
like a gradual change from ANC to transparency mode.

03:08:08.760 --> 03:08:15.480
Is it shocking? Because it's jarring sometimes. You turn off transparency and you're like, oh, dang, it's loud in here.

03:08:16.200 --> 03:08:22.680
Like you get adjusted to it. Well, I find the transparency mode on mine is louder than not having the headphones in.

03:08:22.680 --> 03:08:27.720
The transparency mode on the AirPods Pro 3s is also just outstanding.

03:08:27.720 --> 03:08:35.320
It's very natural. Like, even my own speech is quite natural, which is very difficult to do as far as I can tell,

03:08:35.320 --> 03:08:38.680
because almost nobody executes it very well.

03:08:41.800 --> 03:08:50.200
Sometimes the audio quality doesn't bother me, but there are certain situations where it is,

03:08:50.200 --> 03:08:59.000
it is just not very good. Now, I have heard that there's a new update and I have finally figured out my transition

03:08:59.000 --> 03:09:07.560
problems over to the iPhone Air. So once I pair my AirPods Pros to this, I should be able to apply the latest firmware update.

03:09:08.040 --> 03:09:14.920
I should actually add that to my notes for the review that if Apple hasn't dealt with this yet,

03:09:14.920 --> 03:09:19.000
I haven't actually checked if they haven't dealt with this yet, but if Apple still hasn't dealt with

03:09:20.120 --> 03:09:25.160
there being absolutely no way to update the firmware on AirPods Pro 3s unless you also

03:09:25.160 --> 03:09:28.040
have an iPhone, that is like, should be criminal basically.

03:09:28.600 --> 03:09:34.200
You should be able to apply updates to your device simply by having your device.

03:09:34.200 --> 03:09:38.360
Can you do it through? Oh, wait, maybe I think someone might have mentioned before that you might be able to do it

03:09:38.360 --> 03:09:41.000
through iTunes. Can you do it through iTunes on PC?

03:09:42.280 --> 03:09:44.440
Someone let me know. Let me know in the chat.

03:09:47.560 --> 03:09:51.320
I'll just make a note for myself. Can you update without iPhone?

03:09:52.280 --> 03:09:55.240
Okay, now I got that in there. That is something that I want to talk about one way or another.

03:09:58.600 --> 03:10:01.480
I think that's all I kind of have to say for now.

03:10:02.200 --> 03:10:09.480
They still aren't as comfortable for me, but I think I figured out why they did it because wow,

03:10:09.480 --> 03:10:11.320
do they ever stay seated in your ear canal?

03:10:13.320 --> 03:10:18.760
I have those problems with the IEMs staying in my ear canal,

03:10:18.760 --> 03:10:24.040
so I use the kind of older version where it doesn't go in your ear there.

03:10:26.040 --> 03:10:35.640
Ear buds. Ear buds instead of IEMs. But I got the AirPods Non-Pro 4, I think it's proper name,

03:10:35.640 --> 03:10:41.240
and that has ANC and transparency mode, and honestly, they drive me nuts, and I wish I just had the old ones.

03:10:41.240 --> 03:10:47.000
And I still use the old ones sometimes, but my old ones, the battery life in the right ear is really bad,

03:10:47.000 --> 03:10:50.200
so it'll die way before the other one, which sucks. Why don't you just replace the battery?

03:10:54.440 --> 03:10:56.440
F***ing got them. Get trolled.

03:10:58.040 --> 03:11:02.520
The reason why I don't like them so much is because you don't have that

03:11:02.520 --> 03:11:05.400
insert from the IEMs, the seal is really bad.

03:11:06.280 --> 03:11:10.360
And even in transparency mode, it'll be like trying to figure it out,

03:11:10.360 --> 03:11:14.440
and it'll just start going like crazy,

03:11:14.440 --> 03:11:17.320
and it's like percussion against your ear, it gets really intense.

03:11:19.880 --> 03:11:24.120
So I don't know, it's annoying, especially when you're like moving around doing stuff,

03:11:24.120 --> 03:11:26.840
they'll move slightly in your ear, and then the seal will break.

03:11:27.560 --> 03:11:32.360
And then it's like, man, I find it really annoying, to be honest.

03:11:32.360 --> 03:11:37.000
With the seal, it's good. And man, I gotta say, I wake up with them both still in my ears,

03:11:37.000 --> 03:11:41.560
which is pretty incredible. My pro twos fall out during the middle of the night all the time.

03:11:42.200 --> 03:11:45.080
When it makes seal, it sounds great.

03:11:45.720 --> 03:11:49.240
And the ANC and the transparency mode is amazing, all kinds of fantastic.

03:11:49.240 --> 03:11:52.680
You just gotta figure out how to wear in ears, or in canal.

03:11:52.680 --> 03:11:55.720
I need those spring clips to be a thing. Nice.

03:11:55.720 --> 03:11:58.680
I need to bring that back. Classic.

03:11:59.320 --> 03:12:03.080
Yeah. See, did we give up on this?

03:12:03.720 --> 03:12:08.600
I can't get it past the black screen of death. Okay. Cool. So hardware, that says hardware.

03:12:09.400 --> 03:12:12.680
It could just be that this drive is empty. Yeah. Yeah.

03:12:12.680 --> 03:12:16.360
Wouldn't it say, hey, boot, stop it. Give me boot device.

03:12:16.360 --> 03:12:20.600
Not necessarily. I've seen this behavior before personally.

03:12:20.600 --> 03:12:25.640
Okay. I tried. We should crank the transparency back up and make it purple.

03:12:26.520 --> 03:12:30.040
Nice. Oh, I forgot to do so many things.

03:12:30.040 --> 03:12:33.400
It's all good. I can read the next one. Dan, you're doing great. I'll skip the one.

03:12:33.400 --> 03:12:41.800
Oh, Luke, what Linux distro do you use, and how has the experience been considering Linux myself?

03:12:41.800 --> 03:12:45.720
For the last little bit, I've been dual booting, because there's some stuff I need to do in Windows

03:12:45.720 --> 03:12:49.640
that I could have VM'd and stuff, but that was proven to be annoying.

03:12:49.640 --> 03:12:54.600
So I've been dual booting, but on the Linux side, on my laptop, I've been using Arch.

03:12:54.600 --> 03:12:58.040
The reason why I picked Arch wasn't to be a...

03:12:59.480 --> 03:13:04.040
I'm better at Linux than you, dude. It was to prove that...

03:13:04.040 --> 03:13:07.480
It was just because I'm a better than Linux than you, dude. No, no, no, no.

03:13:07.480 --> 03:13:11.080
And I'm good enough to run Arch. No, no, that's fine. You don't have to say it.

03:13:11.080 --> 03:13:14.520
With relatively little knowledge experience or effort.

03:13:14.520 --> 03:13:20.200
With relatively little knowledge experience or effort, I have been able to run it just fine for months now.

03:13:20.200 --> 03:13:23.480
Totally just fine. No problems, updates, all that stuff.

03:13:25.400 --> 03:13:28.920
And it's been great. And I don't game on my laptop much,

03:13:28.920 --> 03:13:32.120
but I have Steam installed, and I can play a game every now and then.

03:13:32.120 --> 03:13:34.040
And it's been very transparent.

03:13:35.560 --> 03:13:38.920
It doesn't feel like, oh, I'm using Steam,

03:13:38.920 --> 03:13:43.000
trying to pull all these levers and do all these crazy things to get these games to work.

03:13:43.000 --> 03:13:46.440
It's a download button. It's a play button. It's just like you're on Windows.

03:13:46.440 --> 03:13:48.280
Like it's very easy.

03:13:50.840 --> 03:13:55.000
So yeah, the whole goal of this honestly was to be able to basically talk about it on Wancho

03:13:56.280 --> 03:14:01.080
and point out that it's been fine, and I picked the one that's hard.

03:14:01.800 --> 03:14:05.080
And the reason for that was so that- So it was to show how great you are,

03:14:05.080 --> 03:14:10.280
even though it's hard. The point was that I've done nothing. There's no skill involved.

03:14:10.280 --> 03:14:15.160
There's no skill. So if you can't do it, wow, you must be beyond no skill.

03:14:15.160 --> 03:14:18.520
Because I am so godlike at running Linux.

03:14:18.520 --> 03:14:23.720
It took no skill at all. Oh my God. There was at the Intel event in Arizona that we were at,

03:14:23.720 --> 03:14:27.880
there was like Linux nerds there asking me Linux questions because they heard that I was running it.

03:14:27.880 --> 03:14:31.960
And I kept on being like, I don't know. That's not the point.

03:14:32.840 --> 03:14:36.680
The point is that I don't have to do all these things and it's still good.

03:14:36.680 --> 03:14:41.720
Like that's the point. That's the interesting part. So like I, if I were you,

03:14:41.720 --> 03:14:48.280
wouldn't necessarily pick Arch. It's not a game arch. Hathill says Luke is swinging his Luke around the room as usual.

03:14:51.480 --> 03:14:52.840
Giant Linux dong.

03:14:54.840 --> 03:14:59.240
The point is that you can pick the one you want and it's probably going to be fine.

03:14:59.960 --> 03:15:03.240
Let's go have fun. I wish the rest of us could have picked it.

03:15:06.440 --> 03:15:09.400
Up next. Yeah.

03:15:10.200 --> 03:15:13.720
Sadly, no infinite money glitch on gift cards.

03:15:13.720 --> 03:15:16.920
No gift cards with gift cards. What game is Luke playing right now?

03:15:16.920 --> 03:15:19.240
Did you ever finish Baldur's Gate III?

03:15:20.120 --> 03:15:24.760
You still haven't finished it? No. You talk so much about how many characters you've finished it.

03:15:24.760 --> 03:15:30.040
How many characters are you on? Eight. I think more than eight.

03:15:30.040 --> 03:15:33.160
More than eight. I'm pretty sure more than eight. I got super far through a Der's run

03:15:33.160 --> 03:15:36.360
and then was just like, I have like three different.

03:15:36.360 --> 03:15:39.000
I could only play this 15 hours a day.

03:15:40.040 --> 03:15:44.600
Like there's not enough time. I have a hard time not doing everything.

03:15:45.720 --> 03:15:48.680
Yeah. And I have this style. That must cost you a lot in chicken.

03:15:49.560 --> 03:15:54.360
That's actually a really good joke for Baldur's Gate.

03:15:58.360 --> 03:16:01.640
I even like bears. Both kinds.

03:16:03.640 --> 03:16:07.000
He kind of is both kinds, I guess. But anyways.

03:16:07.000 --> 03:16:09.000
Everyone's players, actually. Off that topic.

03:16:11.160 --> 03:16:15.480
Frick, what was I going to say? Yeah, one of my favorite ways to play with new people

03:16:15.880 --> 03:16:19.800
is to not be the party face.

03:16:19.800 --> 03:16:21.480
Like make them be the party face.

03:16:22.840 --> 03:16:26.680
That's like playing the charisma character or the character that will do the dialogues, basically.

03:16:26.680 --> 03:16:29.720
Because I've like done all the things in act one and act two.

03:16:30.920 --> 03:16:33.960
Like in act one and act two.

03:16:33.960 --> 03:16:37.240
So. Do you really just think of them as things?

03:16:38.440 --> 03:16:42.840
That just toys to his masculinity. They're just chicken consumption.

03:16:43.400 --> 03:16:46.600
They just eat your chicken and then they're just.

03:16:47.160 --> 03:16:50.680
You discard them. It might be a wizard, actually.

03:16:50.680 --> 03:16:55.000
Could be poisoned. Arcane chicken.

03:16:55.000 --> 03:16:58.040
So my whole thing is letting them.

03:16:58.040 --> 03:17:01.240
Because every once in a while, even if very small,

03:17:01.240 --> 03:17:05.800
there will be one little tiny thing that I haven't really experienced before. But if I'm just making the decisions all the time,

03:17:05.800 --> 03:17:10.200
it's going to be hard to do that. Because it's very likely that I'll just do the types of things

03:17:10.200 --> 03:17:14.360
that I would normally do. Even doing things in different orders can kind of change how the game plays.

03:17:15.480 --> 03:17:19.400
So I have so many campaigns that are in act two.

03:17:19.400 --> 03:17:22.440
I have a few different campaigns that are in act three.

03:17:23.880 --> 03:17:26.120
I have a ton of campaigns that never made it out of act one.

03:17:27.240 --> 03:17:30.520
Someone who I'd love to start playing with again.

03:17:30.520 --> 03:17:35.000
I'd have to, you know, have a house together and my computer set up and stuff like that.

03:17:35.000 --> 03:17:38.600
But I started a game with Wendell and he,

03:17:38.600 --> 03:17:45.480
this was like right early on in the game coming out. And he's like to dirge without knowing what that was.

03:17:45.480 --> 03:17:51.320
And Wendell's like the kindest, nicest dude ever. And then his character's just doing dirge things.

03:17:51.320 --> 03:17:55.160
And he's like, ah, that was great. I don't like this game very much.

03:17:55.160 --> 03:17:58.440
I would love to start playing that again.

03:17:59.000 --> 03:18:02.360
But yeah, I don't know. I'll beat it eventually. I'm in no particular rush.

03:18:03.000 --> 03:18:06.840
Well, why would you have to beat it if you have all your things to use?

03:18:08.440 --> 03:18:12.680
Let's move on. Like Luke does from his thing.

03:18:12.680 --> 03:18:15.400
You're such an animal. You're such an animal.

03:18:17.720 --> 03:18:21.240
What comes immediately to your mind is the biggest news you've ever discussed.

03:18:23.000 --> 03:18:27.960
What comes immediately to your mind is the biggest news you've ever discussed on the Wandshow?

03:18:29.800 --> 03:18:32.280
I don't know. Maybe Silicon Valley Bank.

03:18:35.240 --> 03:18:38.120
Facebook buying open AI. What?

03:18:38.920 --> 03:18:42.680
Facebook buying Oculus. Other O company?

03:18:42.680 --> 03:18:43.960
Yeah, not that.

03:18:46.520 --> 03:18:49.640
That was a big one for me. That's that big. That was a big one for me. Yeah.

03:18:53.480 --> 03:18:54.840
Biggest news.

03:18:57.160 --> 03:19:02.040
Biggest news. Like the Silicon Valley Bank thing was big, but like...

03:19:04.520 --> 03:19:07.800
It didn't impact you or me. Exactly. Yeah. Or most of them.

03:19:07.800 --> 03:19:09.560
It's like what was the biggest news to us?

03:19:11.640 --> 03:19:15.080
CEO step down? Yeah, I guess.

03:19:15.080 --> 03:19:19.080
I mean, would you say it's changed that much around here?

03:19:20.440 --> 03:19:22.840
You can say it did. Like I'm fine.

03:19:24.120 --> 03:19:29.080
It depends on how you like... In people's very average day to day,

03:19:29.080 --> 03:19:33.720
I don't necessarily think it's changed a ton, but there are certain things that have changed very significantly.

03:19:34.840 --> 03:19:37.240
I would say. Tackful. He's learning.

03:19:41.160 --> 03:19:43.000
Not enough because you noticed, so...

03:19:45.480 --> 03:19:50.440
Yeah, whatever. I mean like whatever political bullshittery,

03:19:50.440 --> 03:19:51.640
I taught you a lot of it.

03:20:03.480 --> 03:20:09.560
And to be clear, the point is not to deceive. The point is to evade.

03:20:11.160 --> 03:20:16.040
To speak without saying.

03:20:18.120 --> 03:20:19.880
It's pretty good though. Thanks. Yeah.

03:20:22.840 --> 03:20:26.040
Man, what am I... I don't know.

03:20:28.440 --> 03:20:31.800
Yeah, chat GPT release was pretty wild, says Camstabrow,

03:20:31.800 --> 03:20:34.040
but I just wonder if there's like a recency bias there.

03:20:35.400 --> 03:20:37.320
That was a bit ago.

03:20:39.240 --> 03:20:41.080
Oh yeah. So it was.

03:20:42.680 --> 03:20:46.280
The like crazy stream where we were like freaking out over it, that was a...

03:20:46.280 --> 03:20:48.760
That's probably a couple of years ago now. A few years ago-ish, I think. Yeah.

03:20:53.560 --> 03:20:58.760
See, what else? Yeah, the hack we didn't like announce on the WAN Show though,

03:20:58.760 --> 03:21:03.800
like it like happened before. Yeah, the YouTube video was kind of the big deal with the hack,

03:21:03.800 --> 03:21:08.840
I think, not so much the stream. We did talk about it on the stream, but the news was already broken for sure.

03:21:08.840 --> 03:21:12.840
Yeah, you know what? I think the chat GPT one was pretty big in terms of like...

03:21:13.560 --> 03:21:16.600
I think that's... Impact on the world. That feels correct.

03:21:16.600 --> 03:21:20.120
Yeah. Okay, yeah, let's go with that.

03:21:21.320 --> 03:21:25.480
When chat GPT released, this is a step in Floatplane chat,

03:21:25.480 --> 03:21:28.760
it was the first time in a while where I realized I was living

03:21:28.760 --> 03:21:32.520
in a history defining moment. I think it was for us too,

03:21:32.520 --> 03:21:36.120
which is one of the reasons why I agree. I think that's probably the...

03:21:36.120 --> 03:21:39.320
Almost three years. Really? Whoa.

03:21:39.320 --> 03:21:41.320
Yeah. That seems crazy.

03:21:43.240 --> 03:21:47.640
Yeah, wow. This is a good spread of that. ChargeNuclei8300 goes,

03:21:47.640 --> 03:21:51.880
yeah, everyone was worried about losing their jobs. Now we're losing our jobs.

03:21:54.440 --> 03:21:57.480
Yeah. Yeah, but it's usually not AI to be honest.

03:21:58.440 --> 03:22:00.520
It's... Except when it is.

03:22:02.360 --> 03:22:05.160
Yeah, a lot of those have eventually come out as like...

03:22:07.560 --> 03:22:10.680
layoff excuses because they wanted to do layoffs, not because they...

03:22:10.680 --> 03:22:15.240
This is true. Yeah. This is true. It's return to work and laid off because of AI is usually...

03:22:15.240 --> 03:22:19.240
They actually just wanted to do layoffs regardless, and they found an excuse.

03:22:19.240 --> 03:22:23.000
A lot of the AI replacing people thing isn't actually really like working.

03:22:24.520 --> 03:22:29.320
I had a... I've been doing home stuff, was at Home Depot,

03:22:29.320 --> 03:22:31.480
bought a thing, walked up to the desk.

03:22:32.520 --> 03:22:37.080
I was trying to figure out like, is this self-checkout or not? Because there is employees standing by like most of them,

03:22:37.160 --> 03:22:41.080
and the person walked up to me, took my stuff.

03:22:41.080 --> 03:22:44.360
And then did the self-checkout for you? Walked it to the self-checkout thing. I've seen that.

03:22:44.360 --> 03:22:46.680
Did it for me, and then just walked away,

03:22:47.560 --> 03:22:50.440
and I was left to like pay, and I was like, how is this better?

03:22:51.080 --> 03:22:54.600
Like, what are we doing? ScrappyTP says,

03:22:54.600 --> 03:22:59.480
Billet Labs, no. You know, they did one production run of that thing.

03:22:59.480 --> 03:23:02.840
Did they? Aren't they doing more stuff now though? I think they have a YouTube channel and whatever.

03:23:03.480 --> 03:23:06.200
But the actual product that I said was irrelevant...

03:23:07.080 --> 03:23:11.080
Ended up having exactly enough relevance for them to do one pre-order,

03:23:12.440 --> 03:23:14.840
one production run, and then never make it again.

03:23:17.480 --> 03:23:20.280
So no, I don't think that was a particularly consequential

03:23:22.360 --> 03:23:26.040
thing. Brian asks,

03:23:26.040 --> 03:23:30.280
Hi, LLD. What are your thoughts on the future

03:23:30.280 --> 03:23:33.720
of discrete Intel Arc cards, particularly higher end,

03:23:33.720 --> 03:23:41.000
given the recent Intel NVIDIA partnership, I'd really like a B770 or C770 to be a thing.

03:23:42.360 --> 03:23:47.080
We're hoping for the best, man. We're rooting for it right alongside you.

03:23:47.080 --> 03:23:53.160
Bring on future discrete Arc. It's gonna be great if it ever makes it.

03:23:53.160 --> 03:23:56.440
I am so exciting, so excited.

03:23:56.440 --> 03:23:58.200
I'm not exciting, but I'm excited.

03:24:00.040 --> 03:24:03.480
Are you excited? Yes. Is it because I'm exciting? Yeah.

03:24:03.480 --> 03:24:10.600
I don't think that's right. Oh, stop it. Brian asks us,

03:24:10.600 --> 03:24:13.880
High Linus, do you dream much? Sometimes.

03:24:14.440 --> 03:24:19.880
Sometimes I sleep like the living dead. Other times I wake up

03:24:19.880 --> 03:24:24.440
and I think I'm mid-conversation with someone and I have no idea where I am or what's going on

03:24:24.440 --> 03:24:30.280
because I was dreaming so lucidly that I was pretty sure that I was awake.

03:24:31.000 --> 03:24:34.120
So everywhere in between.

03:24:34.120 --> 03:24:37.560
And I have particular, well, I shouldn't even say particular ones.

03:24:37.560 --> 03:24:41.640
I have like two different kinds of sleeping pills that I use once in a while and I like really need to sleep

03:24:41.640 --> 03:24:43.560
and my brain's just buzzing.

03:24:45.160 --> 03:24:50.440
And both of them in different ways give me just the most wackadoodle dreams.

03:24:51.160 --> 03:24:54.920
So I end up sleeping more, but I end up resting less well.

03:24:55.480 --> 03:25:02.760
I have to set alarms or have some really good sunlight exposure in the room.

03:25:03.800 --> 03:25:05.480
The sun coming up will wake me up.

03:25:07.720 --> 03:25:10.760
But if I have like blackout lines or whatever,

03:25:10.760 --> 03:25:15.560
or even just not a lot of sun exposure into the room, I can just sleep forever

03:25:15.560 --> 03:25:18.600
because I will lucid dream the heck out of it

03:25:18.600 --> 03:25:21.000
every single night. And it's been that way forever.

03:25:21.880 --> 03:25:26.360
I also have a problem where like if I get woken up,

03:25:26.440 --> 03:25:29.240
say like three hours, four hours into sleeping

03:25:30.600 --> 03:25:35.320
and then fall back asleep, my brain wants to like reset and it's like, no, we're going for eight again.

03:25:36.600 --> 03:25:40.760
There's no other way. And it's, it worries me for like when I'm older,

03:25:40.760 --> 03:25:45.880
if I end up needing to do more often. Like charge nuclei with the bangers this week.

03:25:45.880 --> 03:25:49.160
Luke sleeps like a bird. You just put a blanket on him.

03:25:49.160 --> 03:25:52.200
He's like, that's actually so true.

03:25:53.640 --> 03:25:56.840
I hate you so much. What's a circadian rhythm?

03:25:56.840 --> 03:25:57.480
No, dark?

03:26:01.160 --> 03:26:02.040
That's so true.

03:26:05.400 --> 03:26:08.200
Because when I go, when I go on a plane,

03:26:09.320 --> 03:26:13.560
no, you don't know this to you.

03:26:13.560 --> 03:26:17.240
Funny. When I go on a plane, oh God, one of my standard things

03:26:17.240 --> 03:26:21.000
that I pack in my like smaller bag. I'll have my like switch.

03:26:21.000 --> 03:26:25.160
I'll have some battery banks, whatever else, is always a sweater.

03:26:26.440 --> 03:26:31.240
Even when I like, when I went to Arizona, I packed a sweater because I'll put the sweater on backwards.

03:26:31.240 --> 03:26:36.360
So I put the hood over my head and it like blacks everything. I hate the eye covering things.

03:26:37.880 --> 03:26:44.520
And, and it just blacks everything out. And I can, I like flying back from Arizona.

03:26:44.520 --> 03:26:50.360
I think it was like eight PM. I am not tired at eight PM on any day.

03:26:50.360 --> 03:26:52.840
We get on the plane. I was like out before takeoff.

03:26:54.760 --> 03:26:58.520
So yeah, that's actually, I haven't heard that before. That's a very good description.

03:26:59.240 --> 03:27:02.920
I can't, I can't find it right now.

03:27:03.560 --> 03:27:08.680
But a picture of me definitely exists on social media somewhere of my plane move,

03:27:08.680 --> 03:27:15.720
which involves a hoodie as well. But I cinch the front tight so that only my nose sticks out.

03:27:15.720 --> 03:27:21.080
So that, because I can't, I can't sleep if I'm breathing back in hood air.

03:27:21.240 --> 03:27:25.000
Oh yeah, there's like a, the reason why I wear the full hoodie

03:27:25.000 --> 03:27:29.240
is because I'll like usually lift a thing up down low.

03:27:29.240 --> 03:27:31.720
That's not enough for me. Yeah, not enough.

03:27:32.440 --> 03:27:35.640
I've got to have the, I've got to have the nose hole.

03:27:35.640 --> 03:27:39.960
I definitely don't mind a little bit of recirculated air. I can deal with that no problem.

03:27:41.320 --> 03:27:44.120
Anonymous ass. Here it is. Oh, you found it? Yeah, here it is.

03:27:45.560 --> 03:27:48.760
Yeah, that's it. No key found it. So this is my move.

03:27:48.760 --> 03:27:52.440
So I actually end up with little pressure marks on the bridge of my nose here.

03:27:54.120 --> 03:27:57.720
But yeah, it leaves, it leaves my breathing holes open.

03:27:59.720 --> 03:28:03.400
That's actually pretty good. That's my move. That's pretty good. Oh yeah, this too.

03:28:05.320 --> 03:28:10.760
Yeah. Yeah, always hands in the pockets because otherwise they get chilly. I usually like this under the sweater.

03:28:10.760 --> 03:28:14.680
Right, okay. Yeah, yeah. Oh, oh, like pulling the ARM, pulling in out of the arms.

03:28:15.320 --> 03:28:18.520
Because I do that one too. I don't actually put the sweater like on. It's on reverse.

03:28:18.520 --> 03:28:22.280
Oh, I see, I see. So you just lay it on you. Yeah. I'll wear the sweater,

03:28:22.280 --> 03:28:25.560
but I'll pull my arms out of the arms

03:28:26.280 --> 03:28:30.920
and then I'll just go like this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't care if I'm in my 30s

03:28:31.720 --> 03:28:35.080
and I look like a child. When you're on a plane, all bets are off.

03:28:35.080 --> 03:28:38.200
You get whatever rest you can. Yes, exactly.

03:28:38.200 --> 03:28:41.240
You get comfy and that's it. It doesn't matter anymore.

03:28:41.240 --> 03:28:44.520
Yep. I know I look like a goof. It's fine.

03:28:45.080 --> 03:28:49.960
It doesn't matter to me. But yeah, I like basically wear it like a blanket

03:28:50.600 --> 03:28:53.320
because that's another thing. I find it very hard to sleep unless

03:28:54.840 --> 03:28:59.080
like something is on top of me. But there has been like very significant portions of my life

03:28:59.080 --> 03:29:02.680
where I'm sleeping is way too hot. So I'll sleep with just a sheet,

03:29:02.680 --> 03:29:08.760
but it just has to be like something. So wearing the sweater like that also like feels

03:29:08.760 --> 03:29:12.200
like I have a blanket on me. I don't know. It works. I found a system.

03:29:12.200 --> 03:29:18.120
I'm sticking to it. Hell yeah. Lannis, thank you for some great videos this week.

03:29:18.120 --> 03:29:21.960
What was the best part of the planetarium shoot? LTT, Gamer Dome win.

03:29:21.960 --> 03:29:25.400
Oh, definitely climbing the dome.

03:29:25.400 --> 03:29:30.840
Dude, I was so sick. The fact that there was nobody who actually like worked

03:29:30.840 --> 03:29:35.800
for the McMillan Space Center there to tell me no was like awesome.

03:29:35.800 --> 03:29:39.400
That was important. Dome, awesome. So like you started climbing.

03:29:39.400 --> 03:29:42.520
I was like, there's no way they let him do that. And then he just kept going.

03:29:43.160 --> 03:29:46.520
I was like, what? Yeah. It's amazing. Yeah, I do. Massive.

03:29:46.520 --> 03:29:50.200
What did they call it? The like Nexus speaker or whatever? Oh, shoot.

03:29:50.200 --> 03:29:53.320
What was it? Not apex. I shouldn't have said a word.

03:29:53.320 --> 03:29:57.640
Something. Yeah. What was the speaker at the top called?

03:29:57.640 --> 03:30:00.840
Does someone remember? Not pinnacle. That's not it. I don't think it was pinnacle.

03:30:00.840 --> 03:30:03.400
Someone's going to know. Someone's going to post it in chat, but oh.

03:30:03.960 --> 03:30:07.080
Really sick name. Mass. Zenith. Yeah. Zenith. Whatever.

03:30:07.080 --> 03:30:10.920
Zenith. Yeah. So, so cool. Dude, it's been,

03:30:11.720 --> 03:30:15.080
it's been, you know what the upside is

03:30:15.080 --> 03:30:17.800
of channel momentum being a little bit low lately

03:30:19.000 --> 03:30:22.760
is when people make their way back to the channel

03:30:22.760 --> 03:30:26.200
after the long pause that they've had. There's some bangers.

03:30:26.200 --> 03:30:29.960
They're going to have an absolute killer back catalog

03:30:29.960 --> 03:30:33.080
to go through. This video is great.

03:30:33.080 --> 03:30:39.000
The thumbnail really, I don't know. We need to do some more work on it or something

03:30:39.000 --> 03:30:42.680
because David did just such an amazing job of this video.

03:30:42.680 --> 03:30:45.800
It's so cool. We play around with underwater speakers

03:30:45.800 --> 03:30:50.040
that are for like synchronized swimming teams and we like put it in this guy's pool

03:30:50.040 --> 03:30:53.320
and he's a local guy and he makes like setups for it

03:30:53.320 --> 03:30:56.040
in his shop and we tour his shop and it's like freaking awesome.

03:30:56.600 --> 03:30:59.240
This video is funny. Were you like bait him into jumping into the pool?

03:30:59.800 --> 03:31:03.080
Hilarious. I didn't do that on purpose. Oh, what?

03:31:03.080 --> 03:31:06.440
Oh, no. Okay. So what happened here? Oh my God.

03:31:09.240 --> 03:31:12.600
There we go. Okay.

03:31:12.600 --> 03:31:15.560
So what happened here is I was doing a dry run.

03:31:16.200 --> 03:31:18.920
Like we had done a few dry runs and I was just,

03:31:19.880 --> 03:31:22.920
I was doing one more practice before I was going to be like,

03:31:22.920 --> 03:31:27.320
okay, let's go. I thought because there's footage of him,

03:31:27.960 --> 03:31:29.320
like there's another camera, this one.

03:31:34.360 --> 03:31:37.160
No, that was not intentional. Oh, it was so good.

03:31:37.720 --> 03:31:41.240
So I was just, I was doing, yeah, literal dry run. Thank you, Conrad.

03:31:41.240 --> 03:31:44.520
Don't worry Conrad, I like it. So I was just practicing the line

03:31:44.520 --> 03:31:49.720
and I was showing him the timing. So I was showing him how I was going to telegraph the jump

03:31:49.720 --> 03:31:52.920
because we were supposed to jump in together so that it would-

03:31:52.920 --> 03:31:56.200
You guys ended up nailing it. So it would look like this. Yeah, we got it on the next take

03:31:56.200 --> 03:31:59.240
because we had done a few practices, right? So-

03:31:59.240 --> 03:32:02.280
Like the timing was, the camera went right with your head.

03:32:02.280 --> 03:32:06.840
I actually, I noticed when it, when you guys did it again that I was like, oh, damn, that was actually really good.

03:32:06.840 --> 03:32:09.880
Yeah. Well, because we, that was- Fantastic work to have.

03:32:09.880 --> 03:32:13.240
That was probably the fourth time that I had sort of telegraphed the move.

03:32:13.240 --> 03:32:18.280
But then I was changing the intonation, I was changing the timing a little bit. So I was doing it one more time

03:32:18.280 --> 03:32:22.120
to show him how I was going to do it. Did you tell him that? No, but I also didn't tell him

03:32:22.120 --> 03:32:27.640
we were going for real this time. So I just did the read- I will say for him, like being him,

03:32:27.640 --> 03:32:31.560
it's much safer for him to do what he did

03:32:31.560 --> 03:32:34.840
because he can come out and just like be wet and it's fine. Yeah.

03:32:34.840 --> 03:32:38.360
You can't really- Yeah, I can't go from dry to wet again. Yeah.

03:32:38.360 --> 03:32:44.040
So if someone's going to screw that up, it would be him. So, you know, if he has even the inkling of a thought

03:32:44.040 --> 03:32:46.440
that you're actually going for it, it makes sense for him to go for it.

03:32:47.320 --> 03:32:50.600
I will defend the actions of the camera. Scrapyard Wars 10 is a banger.

03:32:50.600 --> 03:32:53.720
If you're into that, this VR one is freaking awesome.

03:32:53.720 --> 03:32:58.360
Did you watch this yet? I have not. Dude, I've had no time. It's, this thing is so cool.

03:32:58.360 --> 03:33:01.640
It's a VR headset from 1994. Oh, I'm going to watch it.

03:33:01.640 --> 03:33:05.160
I just have had, because of the house, I've been renovating, whatever. Dude, I've had no time.

03:33:05.160 --> 03:33:09.960
Freakin' awesome. Oh, dude, like under-viewed videos.

03:33:09.960 --> 03:33:14.520
This one right here is probably the most under-viewed video

03:33:14.520 --> 03:33:20.360
on the channel. Because it starts out with this like real footage of Ploof's car.

03:33:21.880 --> 03:33:24.200
And it's just me and Adam driving, right?

03:33:26.760 --> 03:33:29.800
This is probably one of the best intros we've ever done.

03:33:29.800 --> 03:33:31.400
Like top three for sure.

03:33:35.160 --> 03:33:49.240
The fact that there's the little like jiggle too is crazy.

03:33:49.240 --> 03:33:52.120
Oh dude, that motion platform is so cool.

03:33:53.080 --> 03:33:57.800
So if you haven't seen the video like, man, what a cool setup.

03:33:58.440 --> 03:34:02.840
So wild. Is that incredible or what? It's a really cool video.

03:34:02.840 --> 03:34:06.440
And like, dude, I've made some complaints about how long our videos are now.

03:34:06.440 --> 03:34:09.960
That's a 22-minute video. Flies by. I felt like it could have been 45.

03:34:09.960 --> 03:34:12.520
Flies by. Like it's very dense. Yep.

03:34:13.240 --> 03:34:17.960
So, you know, man, I don't know. It's going to be, it's going to be a lot of fun

03:34:17.960 --> 03:34:26.120
for people who have made their way off the channel for one reason or another and finally find their way back

03:34:26.120 --> 03:34:29.640
and are just like, man, why the heck did I stop watching?

03:34:29.640 --> 03:34:34.360
Because there's some really, really great videos in the library lately.

03:34:34.360 --> 03:34:37.400
Team's been absolutely freaking killing it.

03:34:37.400 --> 03:34:39.320
Do you do the crab thing underwater?

03:34:40.600 --> 03:34:43.960
Oh dude, did you see the person who like AI'd it

03:34:43.960 --> 03:34:47.160
onto actual crabs or something on Reddit? Yeah, yeah.

03:34:47.160 --> 03:34:51.320
The Reddit's been fun. It's, it's so.

03:34:51.320 --> 03:34:56.680
Bit of a rare moment, but the Reddit has been fun. It's, it is so uncomfortable to look at, but really funny.

03:34:57.320 --> 03:35:01.720
All right, hit me, Dan. Linus, you said you're a big fan of Made in Canada.

03:35:01.720 --> 03:35:06.440
That show got me into the Tragically Hip. Do you enjoy their music and did any of you

03:35:06.440 --> 03:35:09.400
watch their final performance? About a third of the country did.

03:35:10.120 --> 03:35:15.080
I have to admit, Tragically Hip is one of those bands

03:35:15.080 --> 03:35:18.280
that I've heard of a billion times. What?

03:35:18.280 --> 03:35:22.360
You don't. And I probably like would know their songs if I heard them.

03:35:22.360 --> 03:35:26.680
You would know their songs. But I never, I never got into them.

03:35:26.680 --> 03:35:32.760
I, I'm sorry. If this helps me redeem my Canadian-ness a little bit.

03:35:32.760 --> 03:35:34.760
Love the Bare-Naked Ladies. Listen to them a lot.

03:35:35.800 --> 03:35:38.360
That helps. Bare-Naked Ladies. Sorry.

03:35:39.000 --> 03:35:42.600
Tragically Hip is fantastic. Hunterth Meridian is probably my favorite song of theirs.

03:35:42.600 --> 03:35:44.600
It's not the most popular, but it's probably my favorite one.

03:35:46.120 --> 03:35:48.520
Also, Arrogant Worms, big fan.

03:35:51.480 --> 03:35:54.280
Hi, little.dll. Saw them live ones.

03:35:55.160 --> 03:35:59.640
Arrogant Worms. Yeah, at the Maple Ridge Center for the Performing Arts or whatever it's called.

03:35:59.640 --> 03:36:03.240
Maple Ridge has like a tiny little theater that seats like 200 people or something.

03:36:03.240 --> 03:36:08.200
I adore it. And they performed that. It was great. They did this impromptu song called I pulled my groin.

03:36:09.160 --> 03:36:14.120
I pulled my groin. I pulled my groin. It just kind of went like that for a while.

03:36:14.120 --> 03:36:17.480
Pretty great. It's a very, it's a very if you're into it kind of humor.

03:36:17.480 --> 03:36:21.080
Those guys anyway. Rush, my dad's a huge Rush fan.

03:36:22.280 --> 03:36:25.480
Rush is dope. I didn't know they were Canadian.

03:36:26.280 --> 03:36:29.560
You know who else is Canadian? Uh-oh. Almost everybody.

03:36:29.560 --> 03:36:32.680
Best named band in the world. Hold on.

03:36:33.320 --> 03:36:37.240
Best named. Saying it ironically.

03:36:37.240 --> 03:36:41.960
Band in the world. You have to know the story behind it to understand why I would say that.

03:36:41.960 --> 03:36:45.400
Chad already guessed it. Simple plan.

03:36:46.040 --> 03:36:48.680
No. Are they Canadian? Oh yeah. Montreal.

03:36:51.480 --> 03:36:54.840
Nickelback. Nickelback. Why? Why is that? Lead singer guy.

03:36:54.840 --> 03:37:00.600
I think it was lead singer guy. One of them used to work at a coffee shop and used to constantly ask people if they wanted their

03:37:00.600 --> 03:37:05.720
Nickelback because they'd pay in cash and then that's how much change there would be after they

03:37:05.720 --> 03:37:09.080
bought a coffee. All our 95, you know, 95 cents.

03:37:09.080 --> 03:37:12.280
You want your Nickelback? Yeah, I get it. Let's name it our band.

03:37:12.280 --> 03:37:16.280
It's a very Abbotsford. Their label is 604 Records.

03:37:16.840 --> 03:37:19.720
Yeah. Which is kind of cool. It's a very good code.

03:37:21.720 --> 03:37:26.680
What a unique way to name a record table.

03:37:26.680 --> 03:37:28.840
What a name. All right, cool.

03:37:30.760 --> 03:37:33.960
And yes, Night Shift 31, Carrot Juice's Murder is a great song.

03:37:35.160 --> 03:37:37.800
Let's listen to this merch message.

03:37:38.760 --> 03:37:43.640
Luke, you mentioned that you're using Godot. What's the most complex thing you've done so far?

03:37:43.640 --> 03:37:47.800
Been learning game dev with it myself. Love how easy it is to pick up.

03:37:47.800 --> 03:37:51.160
Shout out to the Godot team. Shout out to the Godot team for sure.

03:37:52.440 --> 03:37:54.920
Most complex thing I've done so far is not very complex.

03:37:56.120 --> 03:37:59.880
Nippless Cage has a late guest for Best Named Band.

03:37:59.880 --> 03:38:03.160
Jimmy Eat World doesn't abbreviate well on his shirt though.

03:38:07.400 --> 03:38:09.640
I mean, not if you don't want to get blamed for everything, that's for sure.

03:38:12.040 --> 03:38:14.840
Okay, most complicated thing. Yeah, I really haven't done a lot.

03:38:15.560 --> 03:38:20.680
That's super complicated, to be honest. I know that's a really boring answer, but I haven't gotten that far into it.

03:38:21.320 --> 03:38:25.400
Right around when I started using it, my life got very busy and very complicated,

03:38:25.400 --> 03:38:26.840
so I haven't really done a ton of it.

03:38:28.520 --> 03:38:32.280
Just wait till you have a kid if you ever do. Your life is not busy or complicated yet.

03:38:34.200 --> 03:38:37.400
I think birds sound worse. No, they're not.

03:38:37.400 --> 03:38:39.720
You don't go to jail. Yeah, exactly.

03:38:41.800 --> 03:38:47.080
I'll reference my birds as if they're like kids or whatever every once in a while.

03:38:47.480 --> 03:38:51.080
It's not, no, that's not, like we've been, they've been at the,

03:38:51.080 --> 03:38:56.200
they've been away from us for a long time right now, and I'm fine.

03:38:58.040 --> 03:39:01.480
Oh yeah, they're not going to like grow up and have to pay therapy.

03:39:02.200 --> 03:39:08.040
It's okay, they're not going to have to do drugs about it. They're okay, it's good, it's expensive.

03:39:08.040 --> 03:39:12.200
That part makes me want to cry myself to sleep, but not the them being away from me.

03:39:12.200 --> 03:39:15.640
I'm excited for them to be back. It'll be nice. I like having them around.

03:39:15.640 --> 03:39:18.680
They're cool. It's not my child. These things are different.

03:39:21.880 --> 03:39:26.120
How are the birds? Birds are fine. They're at like the safest place they could possibly be.

03:39:26.840 --> 03:39:29.560
They're fine. In a coal mine. Nope.

03:39:30.600 --> 03:39:34.200
That would be a canary, not a budgie. I mean, it'd probably work.

03:39:34.200 --> 03:39:38.280
A budgie would, oh, it would work. Yeah. Would it work too well?

03:39:38.280 --> 03:39:41.880
Yeah, I think so actually. I think that's kind of the problem. I think that is the problem.

03:39:41.880 --> 03:39:45.160
Why don't you, could you have both of them in the cage and then you could get,

03:39:45.160 --> 03:39:46.920
you could get like different levels.

03:39:49.160 --> 03:39:52.840
Be like a thermometer. The problem is the budgie, I think would just die. Like just run.

03:39:52.840 --> 03:39:54.120
Oh, I've been outside.

03:39:57.720 --> 03:40:01.320
That would suck. It'd be a terrible launch. It constantly goes off.

03:40:02.280 --> 03:40:05.320
Have you seen it? It would be the everything's okay alarm. Yeah, true.

03:40:05.320 --> 03:40:09.320
What? Have you seen the little contraptions that the miners would make to save the canaries?

03:40:09.320 --> 03:40:13.720
Crazy. Have you seen those? Yeah. Yeah. They're actually. I like that they cared.

03:40:13.720 --> 03:40:19.320
Yeah. It's really nice. Makes me happy. Like they needed some. And that's the words like they only cared because it cost so much to get another one.

03:40:19.320 --> 03:40:24.680
And I was like, shut up. No. I don't believe that. They were a life-saving technology and they felt that, but it was all they had.

03:40:25.960 --> 03:40:31.560
Up next. Would you be willing to talk more about your experience with ADHD and working in a world

03:40:31.560 --> 03:40:37.560
that is not built for it? What's your advice to help others who are struggling to succeed like you have?

03:40:43.160 --> 03:40:46.040
Good luck. Um.

03:40:47.640 --> 03:40:48.520
Great advice.

03:40:50.760 --> 03:40:54.280
Every day is suffering and it doesn't get better. Thanks, Dan.

03:40:55.560 --> 03:40:59.400
So the winner goes to the spoils. See you. I don't know, man.

03:40:59.400 --> 03:41:14.840
I mean, so much of, so much of everything is just not accepting any outcome other than

03:41:15.320 --> 03:41:19.720
success. And to be clear, that's not always going to work.

03:41:19.720 --> 03:41:26.120
You might just, you might be willing and able to try really hard, but you might just be really

03:41:26.120 --> 03:41:29.800
dumb, you know, and your ideas might just be really bad.

03:41:29.800 --> 03:41:35.000
You can still. And it might not, you know, I just mean like, what I mean is just like trying really hard at

03:41:35.000 --> 03:41:39.560
something that's a bad idea won't be a recipe for success. You have to have a combination.

03:41:39.560 --> 03:41:42.760
You have to have a willingness to win.

03:41:42.760 --> 03:41:46.840
You have to have, uh, you have to have a fortunate situation.

03:41:46.840 --> 03:41:50.760
Like, you know, Luke and I often talk about how we grew up without a lot of money.

03:41:50.760 --> 03:41:55.320
But what we were both lucky to have was supportive families.

03:41:55.320 --> 03:41:59.560
Right. And that's something that is worth more than any amount of money.

03:41:59.560 --> 03:42:04.120
So, you know, we were very privileged in that way for sure.

03:42:04.120 --> 03:42:07.160
Right. And so you have to have an opportunity.

03:42:07.160 --> 03:42:13.480
You have to have, you have to have just like genetic lottery luck.

03:42:15.640 --> 03:42:19.880
Like there's a lot of things that have to align for, for success.

03:42:21.080 --> 03:42:29.000
But what every single successful person has in common, and I don't mean people who were handed

03:42:29.000 --> 03:42:33.320
money. I don't consider just the act of having money success.

03:42:34.280 --> 03:42:42.120
Um, but people who, who earned a place in the world, like what they all have in common is

03:42:42.120 --> 03:42:46.440
they all worked their butt off and didn't take failure as an option.

03:42:49.080 --> 03:42:52.360
And so that's, yeah, that, that's it.

03:42:52.360 --> 03:42:57.320
Your people hate that answer and we've gotten flamed for this answer repeatedly over time.

03:42:57.320 --> 03:43:01.080
Yeah. It doesn't change the hustle culture. Hustle culture is toxic.

03:43:01.080 --> 03:43:08.920
The grind set is whatever. That's fine. Neat. But then just, you know, you've got to define, you've got to define what your goals are.

03:43:08.920 --> 03:43:12.200
Yeah, exactly. But that's not what I'm being asked.

03:43:12.200 --> 03:43:13.480
Yeah. Right. Like.

03:43:17.000 --> 03:43:20.760
And there's no like, there's no, I don't know, there's no auto win button.

03:43:20.760 --> 03:43:26.760
So when people don't like. Addo says ADHD person trying to focus in order to provide tips on ADHD.

03:43:26.760 --> 03:43:27.240
Well, yeah.

03:43:31.480 --> 03:43:35.720
Yeah. Doing my best over here.

03:43:36.360 --> 03:43:39.400
I will, I will never not try hard.

03:43:39.400 --> 03:43:43.640
That's what I, that's what I told badminton insight when they came and did the collab,

03:43:43.640 --> 03:43:46.200
when they like trained me like a pro for the day.

03:43:47.000 --> 03:43:52.040
So I did like their professional training regimen and it kicked my butt.

03:43:52.040 --> 03:43:59.720
And they were like, I can't believe you're still going. And I'm like, well, that's the only thing that I can offer any coach who has ever coached me

03:43:59.720 --> 03:44:07.960
is that I will do my absolute best every single time. Sometimes my best will be trash and I just like, I won't hit a single shot.

03:44:09.400 --> 03:44:12.520
But I will do my best for the entire session.

03:44:12.520 --> 03:44:17.400
And when it's over, I will go have a bath and then I will come back the next day

03:44:17.400 --> 03:44:21.320
and I will do my best and my best might be trash again.

03:44:21.320 --> 03:44:24.600
But dammit, I will do my best and that's all I can offer.

03:44:25.720 --> 03:44:29.480
And maybe part of it is just accepting that sometimes you're going to do your best

03:44:29.480 --> 03:44:32.200
and it's going to be trash and you just have to keep doing it anyway.

03:44:33.000 --> 03:44:35.240
Because anything else is not going to win.

03:44:36.680 --> 03:44:38.920
You will never win sandbagging it.

03:44:42.360 --> 03:44:47.400
Linus, alabaster Don, crosscode quote unquote sequel, got a demo.

03:44:47.400 --> 03:44:50.600
Maybe a while before one by no, but from the sounds of it.

03:44:59.240 --> 03:45:00.860
You okay brother? Yep.

03:45:02.680 --> 03:45:07.400
Wishlist? What is this? Where's the demo? You can't tell me alabaster Don has a demo.

03:45:07.400 --> 03:45:12.200
You gotta go to this team. Not have one. Well, why wouldn't they, why wouldn't they talk about it on their website?

03:45:12.200 --> 03:45:15.560
It says right there, you scrolled past it, it's up there. You scrolled past it. Oh boy.

03:45:17.720 --> 03:45:20.920
What are you doing? Where is it? There, in the middle.

03:45:20.920 --> 03:45:25.880
What, wishlist? That's a wishlist. Yeah, that's not demo. You should talk about, you should talk about the demo.

03:45:25.880 --> 03:45:29.080
How would you not talk about your demo? Public demo, here it is.

03:45:29.080 --> 03:45:32.040
I have to go to the blog. Why don't... Do they only have one blog?

03:45:33.320 --> 03:45:38.280
They're like dummies. Every one of these things has anything, has two blogs.

03:45:38.280 --> 03:45:43.160
Oh, John actually texted me online. Oh, is he upset? What about Secret Third blog?

03:45:43.160 --> 03:45:48.120
You can't make fun of me, I have two blogs. He said, sorry about the links and permissions with the forum stuff.

03:45:48.120 --> 03:45:53.080
This week's been kind of a show for me. Don't worry about it, John, relax, it's okay.

03:45:54.200 --> 03:45:58.920
Okay, what do we got here? Alabaster Don demo. Don't apologize for anything, you have two blogs.

03:45:58.920 --> 03:46:03.480
Yeah, he has twice as many blogs as this pathetic radical fish games.

03:46:06.600 --> 03:46:11.560
Imagine we have one blog. Okay, so yeah, you just install it from Steam. First public demo, what is it?

03:46:11.560 --> 03:46:17.000
Install it right now, play on the show. Saves from this demo are expected to be fully compatible with future early access

03:46:17.000 --> 03:46:21.800
and full versions, aside from... Install it now. We hope that you will enjoy a small taste of what's to come.

03:46:21.800 --> 03:46:25.160
You can also already leave feedback with Steam reviews. Oh, I wonder, I wonder how the feedback is.

03:46:25.160 --> 03:46:28.680
Oh, it really... Leave feedback on a video of this WAN Show.

03:46:28.760 --> 03:46:32.120
By playing it now. Alabaster Don, I'm not going to play it right now.

03:46:32.120 --> 03:46:35.320
Why? Because I'm going to wait. We're now a review channel. I'm going to wait.

03:46:35.320 --> 03:46:39.000
You're going to wait for full release? Oh, no user reviews yet.

03:46:39.000 --> 03:46:42.840
Oh, dude, if this game is anywhere near as good as I'm expecting, it will be a full release.

03:46:44.120 --> 03:46:48.600
It's not early access though, which is nice. Yeah, it was a question that was going to be full release.

03:46:48.600 --> 03:46:50.760
I was saying, are you going to wait to play it until full release?

03:46:52.280 --> 03:46:56.040
It's not even announced. Oh, whatever. I'll let Chad explain it to you.

03:46:56.040 --> 03:46:59.400
It'll happen. Oh.

03:47:02.760 --> 03:47:03.320
Understood.

03:47:06.760 --> 03:47:07.000
Dan.

03:47:10.520 --> 03:47:12.760
I think he's the other guy running from that one.

03:47:14.200 --> 03:47:19.400
Linus went to Luke and it took a while to get over here to quite far away.

03:47:20.200 --> 03:47:23.080
Oh, fire tonight.

03:47:23.800 --> 03:47:28.280
It's not even the gonorrhea. We need the explained vid.

03:47:28.280 --> 03:47:30.200
Oh, that's an incoming. Linus, what's your favorite color?

03:47:32.760 --> 03:47:35.720
How many times are you going to curate this question, Dan?

03:47:36.280 --> 03:47:38.680
I don't know. You just say a color and then we can move on.

03:47:39.800 --> 03:47:43.560
It's a one word. Have a favorite color. It's complicated.

03:47:43.560 --> 03:47:47.800
It's complicated. Moving on. I don't have a favorite color.

03:47:47.800 --> 03:47:51.880
I don't have one. I don't have one. I haven't picked it. What's your favorite color?

03:47:53.880 --> 03:47:57.160
What's your favorite band? Okay.

03:47:57.160 --> 03:47:58.760
Do you like Blink-22 or something for you? What?

03:48:00.200 --> 03:48:04.440
He went again. You're a boy. Hi, DLL. Have you ordered the pebble yet?

03:48:04.440 --> 03:48:08.520
No, I haven't actually. They're starting to ship the white pebble. Oh, that's a question.

03:48:08.520 --> 03:48:11.560
I don't know. No, I actually didn't get around to ordering one.

03:48:11.560 --> 03:48:14.200
Yeah, really. Okay.

03:48:15.400 --> 03:48:18.840
I'll get in touch. Okay.

03:48:26.280 --> 03:48:32.040
This might be a Luke question, actually.

03:48:32.040 --> 03:48:32.920
Last one I've got here.

03:48:35.400 --> 03:48:42.840
What do you think? Let's try it. Why does certain fods like Wansho on Flow Plane stream

03:48:42.840 --> 03:48:46.920
very poorly to my TV using cast for the last six months?

03:48:46.920 --> 03:48:51.080
Even the lowest quality only plays audio, the video freeze frames?

03:48:51.800 --> 03:48:56.040
Well, the Flow Plane casting feature is...

03:48:58.760 --> 03:49:02.600
Hot garbage? Questionably existent.

03:49:03.800 --> 03:49:07.160
And theoretically, hopefully... We haven't put a lot of dev time into it.

03:49:07.160 --> 03:49:09.880
No, well, neither has Google, so it is what it is.

03:49:10.680 --> 03:49:15.720
Hopefully, theoretically, eventually won't be necessarily because we will have a Flow Plane app for TVs.

03:49:15.720 --> 03:49:19.320
It is not coming soon, but we have been working towards it for a while,

03:49:19.320 --> 03:49:22.920
and we will get there eventually. I know people have been wanting it.

03:49:22.920 --> 03:49:28.440
We have not been ignoring you, which is a small team. It takes us time, but it's coming.

03:49:28.440 --> 03:49:29.240
So, yeah.

03:49:32.760 --> 03:49:36.280
Sorry. There are... Yeah, yeah, yeah.

03:49:39.880 --> 03:49:44.120
Oliva, I think is the name. Hydrovion is an option.

03:49:44.120 --> 03:49:48.040
There's a few... I've heard very good things about Hydrovion,

03:49:48.040 --> 03:49:53.640
but there's a few different options for open source.

03:49:53.640 --> 03:49:56.680
Other people made apps for the TVs and stuff.

03:49:56.680 --> 03:50:00.760
You can use theirs. We want to have a first-party version eventually because that's what people are going to look for,

03:50:01.400 --> 03:50:04.600
but there are other ones that, as far as I understand it,

03:50:04.600 --> 03:50:06.920
goes actually work quite well. So, you can check those out.

03:50:07.880 --> 03:50:11.880
Remember correctly, I talked to the Hydrovion guy a while ago, and it was super cool.

03:50:14.920 --> 03:50:20.120
Hmm. Last one I got here. Linus, the leather jacket, it has that middle.

03:50:20.920 --> 03:50:27.240
So, for the two zippers, have both zipper pulls on each right side

03:50:27.240 --> 03:50:31.240
and tabs on the left. This way, you can use it without the middle,

03:50:31.240 --> 03:50:35.480
without the second zipper. Yes, that is the plan.

03:50:35.480 --> 03:50:40.840
So, this middle section here, where there's a second zipper because it's designed by AI.

03:50:42.120 --> 03:50:45.720
Yes, this side is female, and this is male,

03:50:45.800 --> 03:50:49.160
and this is female, and this is male. So, you can actually zip it together

03:50:49.160 --> 03:50:50.680
and make it like a slimmer fit

03:50:52.600 --> 03:50:55.000
by taking out the middle section, if you want.

03:50:55.640 --> 03:50:59.000
So, the stock fit will be a little bit on the huskier side,

03:50:59.000 --> 03:51:03.640
and then you'll be able to make it a slimmer fit by bringing it together.

03:51:03.640 --> 03:51:07.960
To be clear, no, it is not entirely designed by AI.

03:51:07.960 --> 03:51:11.320
Matthew from our Creator Warehouse fashion team

03:51:12.760 --> 03:51:17.880
did generate a bunch of leather jackets, and so, we did take a ton of inspiration

03:51:17.880 --> 03:51:22.360
from an AI-generated leather jacket. So, it has a bunch of pockets that don't do anything

03:51:22.360 --> 03:51:26.120
and little straps and stuff that don't attach anything,

03:51:26.120 --> 03:51:29.960
and it has two front zippers, which was an AI innovation,

03:51:29.960 --> 03:51:34.760
but it took a lot of work still to turn that AI-generated nonsense

03:51:34.760 --> 03:51:37.160
into something that's actually wearable by a human,

03:51:38.760 --> 03:51:41.640
and it's gonna be awesome. We're calling it the Jensen.

03:51:42.840 --> 03:51:48.840
Actually, I haven't reached out lately but I messaged our NVIDIA contact months ago,

03:51:48.840 --> 03:51:54.120
saying, hey, what are the odds that we could gift Jensen one

03:51:55.160 --> 03:51:57.560
and have him wear it on stage or something?

03:51:58.360 --> 03:52:00.760
The AI-generated leather jacket, do you don't think so?

03:52:01.400 --> 03:52:04.920
Why not? Hell no. Why not? I think you should try. You should definitely try.

03:52:04.920 --> 03:52:10.920
You don't think she would. Unquestionably, you should try. You don't think that Jensen would like the story of our jacket?

03:52:10.920 --> 03:52:14.600
Doesn't have the buzz. What? It's a challenge.

03:52:14.600 --> 03:52:18.280
What kind of a thing to say is that? He should do it. Well, yeah, he should do it,

03:52:18.280 --> 03:52:23.400
but why would you think that he would not be into wearing a jacket that was designed by AI?

03:52:23.400 --> 03:52:27.000
Because it's designed poorly in his whole things that he wants to show off good AI.

03:52:28.840 --> 03:52:32.760
But he also talks a lot about AI as a tool

03:52:33.400 --> 03:52:36.600
for humans to do work, so that's what it was.

03:52:36.600 --> 03:52:41.320
We used it for design inspiration, and it did some pretty wacky stuff,

03:52:41.320 --> 03:52:43.640
but as wacky as the stuff is,

03:52:44.360 --> 03:52:47.880
literally everyone that I show this jacket to in person

03:52:47.880 --> 03:52:50.600
is like, that's a super cool jacket.

03:52:51.320 --> 03:52:54.520
So yeah, sure, it's covered in a bunch of buckles that have no purpose,

03:52:55.400 --> 03:52:59.000
but does a leather jacket need a purpose for a buckle

03:52:59.000 --> 03:53:04.440
other than to look cool? Make it cost an obscene amount of money.

03:53:05.320 --> 03:53:10.120
And then he'd like it? Maybe. Like make it come across as like,

03:53:11.000 --> 03:53:13.740
it actually does look pretty good. It does look good. Yeah.

03:53:18.040 --> 03:53:21.000
What do you... Floatplane chat.

03:53:22.120 --> 03:53:27.080
Hold on, I'm trying to find a good shot of it where I'm not just like behind a thing.

03:53:28.200 --> 03:53:31.720
Think it's, I think it's over here somewhere. Where do I put on the jacket?

03:53:31.720 --> 03:53:35.880
Oh yeah, put on the jacket here. What would you guys think real leather,

03:53:36.840 --> 03:53:39.480
this is probably worth? Like what would you pay for this?

03:53:40.920 --> 03:53:44.520
You make it tall? Probably not a tall, sorry Dan.

03:53:44.520 --> 03:53:49.080
I was talking to Matthew and said, could I request a one-of-one sample tall

03:53:49.880 --> 03:53:51.800
and pay out the ass for it?

03:53:53.800 --> 03:53:58.040
I think that if you're giving the money to Luke, he'd strongly prefer that it was nowhere near your ass.

03:53:58.840 --> 03:54:02.520
He wouldn't even want a dollar if it was from your ass, but anyway, hold on, carry on.

03:54:02.520 --> 03:54:07.000
But he'll take a bathroom one? No, I said no truck stuff.

03:54:07.000 --> 03:54:11.640
Although it's... Okay. Someone in a full-plane chat asked if I'd take one off

03:54:11.640 --> 03:54:14.520
the floor of a Japanese bathroom. 400, 600.

03:54:15.560 --> 03:54:19.080
I mean, I use them for your shower water. 200 to 300, pokey brick.

03:54:19.080 --> 03:54:20.600
I don't think you're being very realistic.

03:54:22.680 --> 03:54:26.680
400, 800, 500 to 600, at least 400.

03:54:26.680 --> 03:54:32.280
That's real leather? Like actual animals? Yeah, 500, 400 to 500.

03:54:32.280 --> 03:54:42.600
US, that'd be like six to $800. I think that much of chat will be happy,

03:54:43.480 --> 03:54:47.080
not all of them, and Dan will be pleasantly surprised.

03:54:48.040 --> 03:54:52.280
I will say that much. I have some idea of pricing now.

03:54:53.880 --> 03:54:56.920
I'd say somewhere between 350 and 450. That's my guess.

03:54:56.920 --> 03:55:00.200
That's a very low guess, sir. For leather goods? USD?

03:55:00.760 --> 03:55:05.240
USD, yeah. That's a very low guess for real,

03:55:05.240 --> 03:55:09.160
actual leather with this many things. This is very complicated. That many things might change it.

03:55:09.160 --> 03:55:13.320
I remember, I don't know if you remember this, I had a leather jacket that I wore all the time.

03:55:14.040 --> 03:55:21.720
No, I don't remember that. What was that? This is a long time ago, and for not that long of a period of time.

03:55:22.440 --> 03:55:25.480
But I wore it a lot for a while. No, I do remember talking about this because you and I

03:55:25.480 --> 03:55:29.800
both lost the fanciest jackets we'd ever bought, and it wasn't that far apart, I think.

03:55:29.800 --> 03:55:34.520
Yep. Yeah, I do remember that. It was called, so it was from Danie leather.

03:55:34.520 --> 03:55:38.600
Oh, that's mine too. And they name their jackets, people names?

03:55:38.600 --> 03:55:43.320
Yeah. And it was Luke. Nice. And I didn't know that until I had picked it,

03:55:43.320 --> 03:55:49.080
and then I was like, no way. And then when it got stolen, I went to go back and buy another one,

03:55:49.080 --> 03:55:56.040
and they were gone. But that was like, is Danie leather like real leather?

03:55:56.040 --> 03:55:59.560
Is that? I don't think so. Yep. I mean, they have different levels of quality.

03:55:59.560 --> 03:56:04.680
Mine one was real leather. It was the only medium-tall, like, weird, not-bomber that exists.

03:56:04.680 --> 03:56:08.440
Because like, they've got this one. Oh, it's on an insane sale.

03:56:08.440 --> 03:56:12.600
That might explain it. They're not doing so hot. Ah, I see.

03:56:14.600 --> 03:56:18.680
That's a sale if I've ever seen a sale. Is it only, though, there's only like one size left, though.

03:56:18.680 --> 03:56:22.760
That's pretty normal. Okay, so it's like. Yeah, it's only in 2XL. Get it out of my inventory size.

03:56:22.760 --> 03:56:26.360
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So what's something that's actually. Let's look at this jacket.

03:56:26.360 --> 03:56:31.320
The Asher. Oh, okay, wow. Oh, it's my brother's name. This is Canadian, but this is a very

03:56:31.640 --> 03:56:36.120
simple jacket compared to the one you're showing. Yes. There's really not a lot going on here.

03:56:36.120 --> 03:56:40.680
Yep. Let's go try to find something a little bit more complicated.

03:56:42.520 --> 03:56:46.840
Speaking of Canadian artists. Maybe they don't have them. That was a little bit more.

03:56:46.840 --> 03:56:48.680
I had to go make things so complicated.

03:56:54.600 --> 03:56:58.520
The Jackson, maybe? I know he's not, but I love just thinking that that guy's just

03:56:58.520 --> 03:57:01.720
giving you a thumbs up. Nice. What up, dude?

03:57:03.560 --> 03:57:06.760
This guy, too. This guy, too. Hey, you want a little bowling?

03:57:08.760 --> 03:57:12.760
I mean, that was a little bit more complicated. It's still not anywhere near so is yours.

03:57:12.760 --> 03:57:16.280
And I think part of the reason why I think it is is because of his under thing that he has going on.

03:57:16.280 --> 03:57:18.520
So maybe not. But yeah, that's 627.

03:57:21.560 --> 03:57:24.840
They're just all a lot more simple is what I'm getting out.

03:57:24.840 --> 03:57:29.240
Well, because it's easier to make. That makes sense. Yep. And they're also a mass manufacturer.

03:57:32.040 --> 03:57:40.920
Well, good luck, us. I hope we sell a few. And I think some people will be pleasantly surprised,

03:57:42.360 --> 03:57:48.680
including Dan. I added the word designer and immediately found a $38,000 jacket.

03:57:48.680 --> 03:57:51.800
Yep. Cool. What do you got? Let's see it. Let's see it.

03:57:52.520 --> 03:57:54.360
Is it worth it? Fendi. So no.

03:57:55.720 --> 03:57:57.800
But I mean, that was an impossible. Oh, it's not even leather.

03:57:59.080 --> 03:58:01.560
Our company's still making fur. Is this fur?

03:58:02.280 --> 03:58:05.400
Yeah, sheepskin. Animals. It's lamb RAM.

03:58:05.400 --> 03:58:06.840
It's male sheep.

03:58:09.960 --> 03:58:14.600
Really? I thought fur was like this guy. This looks like the guy from Game of Thrones almost.

03:58:15.400 --> 03:58:19.480
I don't know his character name or the actor name. So good luck. Is there just one picture?

03:58:20.440 --> 03:58:25.720
They went to all the work to get a model and have him put it on.

03:58:26.440 --> 03:58:29.240
And they took one picture. This shirt looks so bad.

03:58:31.080 --> 03:58:34.840
It's like a lot of money.

03:58:35.960 --> 03:58:37.560
I don't like this stuff. I'm going away.

03:58:41.320 --> 03:58:46.200
Tiana, Greyjoy. Sure. I don't know. I don't know their names, but he looks kind of like that guy.

03:58:47.080 --> 03:58:50.600
If that's the right guy. That's all I got.

03:58:50.600 --> 03:58:53.720
Our worksman says fur is tremendously out of fashion

03:58:53.720 --> 03:58:55.960
and Crystal says yes, fur is still a thing.

03:58:57.880 --> 03:59:01.160
All right. Wow. Cool.

03:59:02.200 --> 03:59:08.040
Apparently the British army still uses Canadian black and brown bear fur.

03:59:09.240 --> 03:59:12.360
Huh. Cato S says I'm a furry. Does that count? The answer is no.

03:59:12.360 --> 03:59:15.080
We'll see you again next week. Same bad time. Same bad channel.

03:59:18.680 --> 03:59:21.960
Bye. Bye. Would that mean you have to use them?

03:59:23.640 --> 03:59:26.760
That's so much worse. Skin them.

03:59:27.880 --> 03:59:28.920
It would be ethical.
