Being able to have ding remotely is pretty sick. Yeah. It's the only thing I've ever worked. Is this the side that is sticking down a bit? Hold on, I'll fix it. Dude, you have no idea how not awake yet I am. I had to run to my room to get my headphones and I went on the stairs and I went the wrong direction. I went to the floor above instead of the floor below. I was like, oh, well, when I want to go between the rooms, I walk up, right? So I'll just walk up again.

You're seeing the same thing I'm seeing. Adorable people in the Floatplane chat that are actually correcting my misunderstanding. You guys are great.

Oh, sorry about that, Dan. I started out checking sync, and then I finished by applauding you for having the audio blind. Yay, the bare minimum. My favorite. Give me... Give me one more. A Floatplane chat says if you're out of sync, refresh. How are you supposed to freshen up if you don't have sync? I guess you could do it in the tub. One more. One more what? Clap. Oh, sure. Keep going. Yeah, that's fine. Okay, cool. How can some people say it's fine and some people say it's not fine? Some people say reloading helps. Other people do not say reloading helps. I think they... That's a good comment. If you're lioness and you know it, clap your hands. That's confusing. What do I just do? I don't know. How does that work? Where do we go from here? I think I've got a... My company now. I don't know what's going on. It broke the timeline. How dare you? Look at me. I am the lioness now. What's my latency on all of this? 500 samples. I'll try 10 milliseconds. See what that does. Dan, do you need much longer? Are people still saying it's out of sync? I don't know. Yes, I am so tired. I can clap again. One second. Cool. Try 20 milliseconds. Try what now? I've tried 20 milliseconds. We'll see what that looks like. 20 milliseconds. 20,000 seconds. Should we do this thing? Sure. No, I was trolling you.

It's always a great show. It's a fair assumption if you're on a bad channel, it should be a bad show. Yeah, that's fair. But we say it's going to be a great show. Bad show, old boy. All right, I'm doing it. You ready? I'm good. All right. I am resuming the selected. That's not what this page is supposed to look like. What is up, you delightful marshmallow chickens? That's right. Y'all my peeps and we're here coming to you live. We got a great show lined up for you guys this week in classic NVIDIA fashion. They are currently at war with what seems like basically the entire tech media. We'll be talking about what's going on and also about how none of this is new. Cool. Go NVIDIA. Also, we'll be talking about some of the really cool stuff we saw here at Computex. Okay, there wasn't that much of that. We'll be talking about some of the zany stuff that we saw while we were here at Computex in Taiwan. What else we got this week, Mr. Luke? The German courts are doing genuinely very cool things. We both linked this. At least one cool thing. But it's the coolest thing that I think I've seen in many years out of Germany. That's fair. Steam OS. I'm not saying the Germans were right. Steam OS moves one step closer to a wider release with new update. Thank you. Intro button. I don't know. I don't have one. Who does it? Good luck, Dan. Cool. Can you do it? Nice. Can you do it? Nice try. The show is brought to you by... Oh God, I can't read the thing. Thermaltake. And don't forget our RAP partner, Dbrand. Our laptop partner, Dell. And our chair partner, whoever takes this golden chair in our hotel room. No, no. It's secret lab. It's secret lab. Okay, we are off to a really good start today. It's fantastic. What do you want to get into first? No problems. Should we talk about NVIDIA's little kerfuffle with reviewers? Sure. They're being nice before 5,000 series. Actually, why don't we talk about other Computex GPU things? Because there was actually a fair bit to like about... Well, there was a fair bit to be pretty okay with about GPUs at Computex. Do you think that stuff is interesting? Well, yeah. Yeah. Are you going to buy one? No. Cool. But I wasn't going to buy one anyways. AMD revealed the 9060 XT. It's going to be launching June 5th, which is in just a couple of weeks. The 8-gig version is $299, and we're not super stoked on that. But the 16-gig version is at an MSRP anyway of $349 with, yes, okay, it's only a 128-bit bus card, which used to mean it would be like $130, not $350. But it's... The performance looks pretty darn okay, and AMD is even like decent at ray tracing, and they've got like all the upscaling technology and all of that. So if you're into that, then you can turn all of that stuff on. I mean, that's pretty neat. I know a lot of people are really upset that there's even an 8-gig version of the card at all, but can I play Devil's Advocate for a moment here? No. Okay, let's move on. Intel announced the Arc Pro B60. Really? I mean, yeah, you can. You're just not going to let me? If you want. No, I mean, look, if that's the dynamic you want to have, I'm okay. You know, we could get some leather. You like that? Yeah. Oh, boy. Well, it's going to be one of those kinds of jokes today. Conveniently, there's a bed right here. Poor Andy. Yeah, Andy. I heard that if you do that kind of work, you basically can never find like, you know, non-ornographic work ever again. Is that going to be a problem for you? Is that a thing? I don't know. Couldn't you just not put it on your resume or just like get around? I mean, I... Are you suspecting me to know? Like, we might never know. Like, am I supposed to? Maybe he's done this kind of work under the table. I was one day only fun grader or only are on top of the table Tables got all kinds of surfaces you can get on top of or under sure Okay, so hold on hold on. Let me play devils at the kit for a moment for the 1960. Yeah a gig Should we be? Upset about AMD providing the option for someone to have a crappier GPU at a lower price The thing that gets me is the lower price is still 300. I'm assuming American dollars. Yes And the other thing that also gets me is that AMD just cannot decide what their story is on 8-game GPUs because you know what whenever they have a you know a VRAM advantage. They're all like Pathetic Our competitor Full of crap basically and then when they don't they're like, oh, it doesn't matter. Yeah, then they're like, well Actually, it's fine for 1080p gaming I went with Sammy to a land cafe this week and like looking at Literally all of the games that everyone was playing It doesn't matter it wouldn't matter however, however Counterpoint. I was supposed to be the devil's advocate, but I guess we're Still doesn't make me happy if I'm spending 300 dollars on a car. I should get 16 gigs of ramp We're like roll over. Come on. It also to play those games To play those games that Luke is talking about, right? Yeah, I could also just be using I don't know a 5000 series Radeon card or You know like Realistically I could be using like a Polaris card to play Legends like I mean you might want high frame rate though This is true. This is true. I there's a lot of them. We're playing see a lot of them are playing CS 1.6 Which was sick really? Yeah, one there was a mix of To go to or whatever and then 1.6 Shut up so sick So like no source and they had a they had a LAN version of like 1.6 They could keep playing dude is LAN gaming coming. Okay, hold on a second because shoot this actually came we're gonna come back There was there was tons of League of Legends. Yeah, there was tons of Counter-Strike in general Okay, there was a little bit of valorant. We're gonna come back to GPUs at Computex more broadly and specifically NVIDIA's whole kerfuffle with the media Because I actually want to completely pivot to another one of our topics and It's gonna be quite the pivot Where is I guess the the Google DeepMind VO3 video model? Okay, and I promise you this is related to people playing LAN versions of CS 1.6 somehow, okay Google DeepMind VO3 It's crazy. Oh, oh shoot. Is Dan gonna screen? We have no screen share. No Dan can you do example from prompt streamer getting a victory Royale with just his pickaxe? Yeah, this is Absolutely mind-blowing Dan hit them with that and then I'm gonna look over there for when it's done playing because I gotta tell you guys like I'm I follow the tech space I'm reasonably attuned with the the AIs that the kids are fooling around with if you didn't tell me that this was Completely generated like the dude in the corner The environment the player model if you didn't tell me that this was AI generated I Would not know It's it's it's it's gonna be really bad and This is just like this is not even the scariest example Dan can you queue up that pharmaceutical commercial? Oh, this one's brutal dude, dude. This is incredible Okay, I'm gonna not talk over this one Oh as soon as Dan's ready Thing worked every day felt heavy. I felt trapped playing up then I tried Pupperman our Prescription helps your body secrete a special pheromone that attracts puppies I took the pill before bed and when I woke up there. He was the love of my life The pill does not target to go ahead again, but we found that it's back to us There's there's people in chat being like wait, this is generated So Zen is like yeah, that looks like AI this is gonna fool over 90% of people over 90 This is gonna fool over 99% probably there's a couple little things like I don't think we the dog's tongue Yeah, when he's licking the guy it like a little oddly Some stuff it does some weird stuff I don't think we saw it, but the I think there's two ladies sitting on a couch and the one her one part of her hair Doesn't move with her head while the other part does there's little things. There's little things like That was made with apparently $500 worth of credits. Yep That's wild which like that means in a year or two and buddy who made it so at PJ a c c e t t you are oh over on Twitter PJ a says I used to shoot half million dollar pharmaceutical commercials. I made this for $500 in VO3 credits in less than a day He also says okay, I hate this but he also says what's the argument for spending $500,000 now and like I Hate that he's not wrong. He's not the only person asking that question. Yeah, and I promise you know The whole ethics conversation around Pharmaceutical companies I suspect they're not gonna mind especially when I don't know if you've seen it But almost every American pharmaceutical company spends more on marketing than they do on R&D So like if they can drop that marketing budget and not increase the R&D budget then surely they could lower prices Ah Let's go Okay, so we're gonna come back to the other stuff in our Google I o rand up because That's the only part of it that I wanted to talk about that. Yes. I am tying back to people playing LAN games. I Have a theory My theory and maybe it's just the kind of thing that I tell myself When I crawl into my bed and pull my covers up and get into a fetal position every night and go oh my god the world I Have a theory We're doing a lot of that lately when nothing online is real The players I'm playing against who are realistically in many cases embodying I like this okay, or the news stories that I'm seeing in my social media feed or the When when or the oh the the the the questions and answers that I'm looking at on reddit remember we talked about that that undisclosed study that that That educational Institute did where they were just like having bots interact on r slash change my mind You know when nothing is real we're all gonna go you know what? Fuck it and get offline Oh We're gonna just like we're gonna play video games in person We're gonna we're gonna demand LAN play and if gaming companies won't Put LAN functionality into their games then we'll be like alright. I'm a play CS 1.6 I don't remember where I read this, but I have read that apparently there's been an increase in like More provably bespoke products being demanded by consumers Yeah Because there's there's the whole like oh, it's an Etsy shop and they make it themselves for sure Yeah, that's actually just from Alibaba. Yeah, that's another perfect example of like everything fake everything just being mass-produced Slop, so there's there's been an increase in like I want to buy this product and I want a video of you making it Like that type of stuff Like oh, yeah Make a video of me making this product But if it's custom it's gonna be a little bit harder to match the physical product that it will yeah It will like actually a lot harder. It will dude. I um Maybe oh, okay. Oh But like there's no point being for or against AI progress because it just it's gonna happen The the horse the horse bolted from the pen at this point ages ago Anyone still having the conversation of like should we do this or not is just by yeah, so so unfortunately So I'm realistically it doesn't matter what the next thing I say is if I say I'm for it or against it It is irrelevant right, but maybe that's the one comforting thought that could make me go. Okay, okay Maybe that's the the positive outcome that that might come from this But but then the thing that made me hesitate to even say that is is like even with how bad even with how bad AI replications have been and with how like Identifiable, you know scams have been for many years The video is not up yet. It should be coming very soon that collab we did with Kit Boga. Yeah, right? If people are still being fooled by Nigerian Prince emails effectively It's gonna be so long before my hopeful outcome could ever possibly happen before this information About misinformation and disinformation Propagates enough that we all just go. You know what basically? I just I just don't believe anything forget it and you can you can help ARM some people But it'll it'll never work for everybody. I mean, there's there's the problem of like Some of those Nigerian Prince scams they they include things like weird typos and and things that could tip you off on purpose Because they're trying to weed out people that are actually paying attention. I Did not ever think about yeah, that's like a thing or barely, but I wonder if that bar gets higher The the easier it is to be more and more convincing all the time. I think so. I feel like it was yeah No, oh 100% no, I think more people are going to get scammed. I mean now that you could just generate You know a photorealistic Linus that will show you his tech tip and ask you to respond like I I actually saw someone on the Subreddit that was saying that a scammer used my name and was Apparently giving away Mac books, which should have been your first Why anyone want that I'm kidding. I'm kidding Andy relax. It's okay He's on a Mac book now that I gave it. Oh, yeah Yeah, I think most the editors Andy were mostly editors this trip on Mac books Yeah, we found that that the adobe suite is actually more stable on Mac Which matters more when we're on mobile hardware. We're so cooked Not great. Yeah, not awesome. I look I'm uh, I'm Contrary to the narratives that are constructed I am not for or against anything other than whatever its utility is to me or someone else and The price, you know and and also the the intangibles or actually I was gonna lie I was gonna call repairability and intangible, but repairing things is actually quite tangible So so the other you know the the other exit factors And if a Mac book is the best tool for the job then gosh darn it, we're gonna use a Mac book for it I don't care. Yeah, nice. I do agree I do I was using my Mac book from the Mac book challenge so far past the 30 days Because other than the desktop experience, which I was quite unhappy with It's a great computer. I so I got I got this is a new work laptop My last work laptop is like four or five years old. It couldn't do broadcast anymore. You don't need to you don't need to excuse that you allocated yourself budget For a brand new machine when you had a perfectly working machine When it when it first First showed up there was a huge pixel issue with the screen So we used the old Lenovo warranty thing and the dude showed up and like swap the screen really I mean that was cool There's multiple delays cough cough, but it wasn't debilitating So it wasn't that big of a deal now and it hasn't happened yet this show which is great But last show we experienced it the screen will just completely lock the computer still functions behind like I can still Click on things even but the screen will completely lock and the only way to fix it is to sleep the computer wake it back up again And I one of the guys from Hardware Canucks. I was trying to him. Yeah, he has the same laptop needs the same issue Why and that my friends is why our laptop partner for the WAN Show is Dell Have actually been like rock-solid they have you might even say heart-touching wait no no wrong bad Okay, so wait how okay, I don't know how we got to where we are now from 8 gig cards. Mm-hmm Counter-strike. Oh, right. Don't worry about it. Yeah. Let's talk about GPUs at Computex. Yeah Intel announced the Arc Pro B60 and B50 workstation cards They're using their XE to battle mage architecture with wow. Thank you whoever prepared these notes today XE vector engines and XE matrix extensions engines Okay, none of that is the important thing about Arc Pro The important thing about Arc Pro is that we are talking about cards with certified drivers for just a few hundred dollars B50 is not going to be lighting anyone's world on fire in terms of its groundbreaking performance But what it does have is certified flipping drivers so that when you're building out, you know Architectural firms office and everyone and their flipping dog needs a professional GPU You can take your little, you know slim line You know octuplex stations or whatever you can slap these babies in there They are I believe they max out at 70 watts, which means that they can work without a PCIe power cable They are dual width half height They come with both the half height and full height bracket so you can throw these things into basically any desktop chassis and Boom, and I was actually I got to admit When Intel put up the slides about compared to last gen. I was like Y'all had an alchemist pro GPU. Yeah Totally missed that Did anyone care? Wait, did they actually? Yeah. Oh, well, I had no idea. Yeah. No, I had I had no idea and And so I was I was quite surprised because the slide that had all of the companies that they had certified their drivers with was like Impressive. I was like yo solid works auto desk blender like Y'all y'all got like like really like the big names here Oh, yeah, that's really good for a first-gen product that it hasn't even launched yet, but just Just like on the gaming side like Intel software side for arc has been cooking Like the amount of performance they squeezed out of what I think now that battlemages out Intel would probably even admit was a Fundamentally flawed architecture in alchemist like they had they had issues with the I think it was with the internal caching or something that was the reason that Like you absolutely needed resizable bar or it basically went to crap town in a hurry in terms of performance I forget what the exact technical reason was but like there were hardware reasons that alchemist was not very good Boy, did they ever squeeze a lot of it and that gives me so much Confidence in their commit level because you can release a GPU Relatively easily and I say this as a as a as a lay person who could not possibly hope to design and release a GPU I say this as like compared to a CPU GPUs are Relatively relatively simple But it's the software the software will kill you that's that's the challenge that Intel knew that they were coming up against it Parallel processor the rate at which you need to release stable Drivers right because of all these new games coming out and stuff like damn. Here's a question for you. Yeah Do you think? Arc can survive and thrive and continue forward If tap retires Let's get to that in a second first. Let's talk about the b60. This is a more performant card This one instead of being 70 watts. I believe it's a couple hundred watts Don't don't quote me on that though. The watts are not in here. It doesn't matter The point is this is meant to be more like a cheap and cheerful 24 gig AI capable card that you can have in a slightly higher end workstation Slash they have this concept that they were showing off called battle matrix and they're doing some again down to the software They're doing some software Tom foolery that's supposed to make it much easier to take a whole pool of these cards up to eight of them Combine the memory split up your AI workloads so you can chunk it out and chew on the whole thing in parallel and You know what is the performance going to be as good as an NVIDIA solution? Be real no right, but the price a lot cheaper, but the price Literally we are talking about if Intel gets their way and this comes to market at the pricing that they're targeting We are talking about like a full-fat rack mount solution with a hundred ninety two gigs of usable VRAM Plus you can you know stack it up with system memory that you can overflow into we're talking about starting it anywhere from five to $10,000 and they're not giving pricing for b60 pro But what they are saying is that that five to ten thousand dollars is for the whole chassis with anywhere from one to eight GPUs, so it's like okay. I think I can do the math and and On the record, but you know don't quote me on this Right sure yeah, they're saying that they think they can do even better than the seven hundred dollars or so per GPU That that would that five to ten thousand dollar mark works out, too Like given time, I mean the hardware right the hardware is literally just an arc b580 Yeah, for the for the b60 pro for the pro b60 excuse me, so yeah Nothing should prevent them from doing this for you know 500 bucks or whatever and if the goal is to get an install base out there, which is an assignment that Intel seems to somewhat understand at this point then That's exactly what you need to do You make this investment up front in the software ecosystem for developers and then you make the hardware accessible If I can get like a whole last server platform for it realistically Not that different to price from like a Mac studio And like that that is a You know a decently substantial group of people because there's a lot of like small the medium-sized businesses that want local like LLMs Inline ID assistance stuff like that That are building these solutions And if you could just do it with arc cards like why not dude speaking of arc cards and pricing I had a Intense conversation With a very very very old old acquaintance of mine Vivian who is running the discrete GPU She's a VP and GM. So basically running discrete GPU for Intel arc where I Have to confess Vivian if you're watching this, I know you don't watch my own show That's totally fine. But if you're watching this, which you're not I'm sorry. I was a little cranky I got a little bit set off by one of the slides that Intel had in their deck the whole the whole thing was about arc pro and you know, I So I Didn't make the video about this or anything like that But their arc pro deck had one slide right at the beginning. Okay, that was like Arc battle mage, so it was about the non-pro right arc battle mage leading performance per dollar and you know, basically was kind of setting the stage for Let's go non-gamers. We got we're gonna have great performance for per dollar just like we do with our gaming cards and It was like best performance per dollar asterisk Best value for GPUs under $300 which is One hell of an asterisk. Yeah, that's a asterisk too as of November 2024 because Yeah, okay, so so that was my face that's rough the November 2024 I suspect is probably just because that's when they ran the numbers and they're not gonna rerun those numbers for one slide in an arc pro presentation, so I'll let that one fairly convenient time to have ran the numbers. I'll let that one pass I'll let that one pass But the one also a bit a long time since the one that I was really upset about was that it said under 300 US dollars and When I basically was like, hey, so look, I don't want to be that guy But it's literally my job to press GPU companies on the fact that GPUs cannot be purchased at MSRP I don't like You guys showing this slide when I can't buy an arc B580 for under 300 dollars Yeah, and this card shouldn't be able to be on the slide that it's that's when the conversation got a little bit Intense and that's at least 93% my fault because I was just We got off on the wrong foot a little bit. I really didn't like that and The and then the response was not great. I'm not gonna name who said this part Because it was it was whole group setting. There was like a dozen Intel people in the room So someone was like, yes, you can and I was like Okay, show me and they pulled up like mine factory dot de or something and I'm like, right That's where I got a little I got a little more frustrated your slide says us dollars You don't get to convert euros to us dollars and tell me I can buy an arc B580 For under 300 us dollars that sir is actually bullshit. That's wack. You're not allowed to do that Yeah, and so what I basically said to them is look What I need is I don't need you to fix it right now I don't need you to call up new egg who is in the middle of the night now and tell them to do to fix their pricing But what I need is a coherent Strategy that Intel will be employing to ensure that arc B580s will be available at MSRP in the US in US dollars and Then I got More intense because basically and I'm not going to name sort of names But people started to kind of pipe up and go well, you know We can't control what our board partners do in terms of pricing and what retailers do in terms of pricing and I basically was like I'm not you finish but I Worked in the channel Do not tell me that you absolutely have levers you absolutely do Whether or not you choose to pull them that is your choice But you have levers you have levers in terms of Arizona iced tea you can do it You have levers in terms of production you have levers in terms of Allocation of parts you have levers in terms of the marketing funding that you provide to your partners both manufacturing partners and Retail partners you have levers in terms of the fact that you have a founders edition You have your limited edition cards that have an Intel label on them that you could literally control the pricing on that only Exist so that you can put pressure on other board partners to fall in line in terms of pricing Everybody knows that's why founders edition exists, right? You I just listed and that's not even all of the levers I listed many levers that you have to manage channel pricing. It's not legal in every market, but there is Actually, okay, that typically goes the other way, but there's there's things like map pricing where you have a minimum advertised price It that can be considered price-fixing depending on the market. I'm just saying Illegal or not Many brands attempt to do it. So so there are levers there are levers to pull and After things got a little intense for a little bit I got a firm commitment that Intel would come to me with a strategy where they were gonna get pricing To MSRP and I didn't I didn't even ask for like 249 99. I was like look I get it This one has three fans on it. It's 269 99 Okay, yeah, okay. This is an OC sure, you know, whatever probably variants whatever that's fine. Yeah, that's fine there's there's there's More than a decade of precedent for hey, this one is a little more. This is one's a little more Fixy-fixy You know we we did some extra special stuff with the VRMs No problem with that But if you're going to say and this is this is where the sticking point is if you're going to say this GPU cost this much and You're gonna ask me to say this GPU cost this much. Don't make me a liar. Yeah, I don't like that Now hold on a second call me Anna says isn't this a slippery slope? Isn't this level of control the same thing you criticize NVIDIA for? What I criticize NVIDIA for is Multifaceted and I guess that actually trends transitions us perfectly into our next topic, which is RTX 5060 and in general NVIDIA's current kerfuffle with the media very very broadly NVIDIA's level of control is unlike almost any other company in the industry I would say maybe Not maybe Apple and NVIDIA are the two kind of birds of a feather that I point to when I look at the level of control That they maintain over their product their their image and branding their partners The media they they both exercise it in their own special unique ways I mean I remember that video that Marquez and who's the but Mr. Who's the boss did like ages ago talking about the way that Companies can control narrative control the narrative through access neither of them named Apple Which I thought was curious at the time. I was kind of sitting there going companies that that Refuse to work with you if you you know You can criticize the product, but you know if you talk about them the wrong way they refuse to work with you We don't mention them in our video about companies that do that, but I get it I Yeah, so Apple is a great example of You've got to kind of play the game and they don't tell you what the rules are So you just have to err on the side of you know not saying the wrong things to make sure that you you know stay on the list, right? Yeah NVIDIA doesn't NVIDIA doesn't do things that way NVIDIA for the most part actually Takes criticism. We've criticized NVIDIA a lot over the years They have generally been okay about taking criticism from the media and I suspect the reason for it is It used to be that in general they saw the benefit of working with media and understood that they had to take their lumps And then now I think it's because they just kind of don't care I think it's because it's just sort of irrelevant So the reason has changed but in general they they've taken criticism from the media Yeah, they seem to take criticism, but they They can be pushy about the message that they want Oh, they can they don't care if you like the whole after them They can be they can be pushy and they can be petty and they can be vindictive. Yes. Oh, yeah big on that last big on that last one and and I've talked in the past about how I do think that it is a Fundamental cultural issue at the company. I think it comes from the top down But in general they have they have mostly Mostly sort of, you know tried to work with the media, but they also have their own Issues and it goes way back Was it the 1080 launch the one where you guys were stuck in a room with no internet while NVIDIA basically Did the entire announcement that prior to that? You know, they would have briefed the press and the press would have done it and they they've slowly taken over the role of of Spreading the news about NVIDIA that the media used to have and made it NVIDIA's job I don't remember the exact details, but if I remember correctly They didn't tell us stuff like the price and a few other like really key things that if you Published an announcement video you would really expect to have and they kept those for the keynote And then the keynote was like really long and we couldn't really leave during it And then after the keynote we were stuck in this weird location where like nobody had internet There was no appropriate places to film and there was a dead mouse concert Super loud in a relatively small building so that you could still hear it when you're outside So you couldn't actually record because you just get I mean I'm not saying that dead most himself would necessarily do this just to be clear But like I'm assuming he's under some form of label that might try to Copy strike your video or whatever. So like it was a very complicated situation and it was very intentional Yeah, so so so NVIDIA's NVIDIA's Control I guess what I'm saying is it's weird And it changes right that's the thing that I think a lot of people miss when we're when we talk about a company is Moves that NVIDIA pulled ten years ago Are not we're not executed by the same people that are you know pulling moves today? So, you know back to back to managing pricing. Yes Yes, NVIDIA absolutely put undue pressure on their board partners to meet MSRP targets that Were not sustainable for their businesses. Yeah, it's a different problem We saw a large number of NVIDIA board partners disappear over the last ten and fifteen years However, however, I don't have a reason to believe just yet that Intel is doing the other Problematic part of that that NVIDIA was doing where they are not providing their board partners with adequate margin for survival That was the issue was that NVIDIA was forcing this artificially low price While slowly slowly slowly slowly slowly Chipping away the margin that they were leaving for their board partners in that target price I think this type of stuff including a lot of other things is why EVGA ended up Bailey NVIDIA also put extremely restrictive I was gonna say the word guidelines, but They're less guidelines and more pirate law They put extremely restrictive guidelines in place for their board partners in terms of the types of products They could build in order to differentiate their own brand like project or Sorry g-force partner program g-force partner program, which was called out many years ago by Kyle from hard ocp He was the one who ended up I think he's probably been blackballed by NVIDIA more times than the current crop of youtubers combined. Yeah Kyle from hard ocp did a really great job of investigating the g-force partner program, which was this extremely restrictive System that NVIDIA put in place for their partners that controlled everything from what kinds of products They could build to what they could clock them at to how they could package them and message them So if you've noticed over the last ten years that g-force boards have gotten more and more Samey and boring even down to the package extremely so You ever notice the packages all look the same now even this one. Yeah, of course It's got it has all the all the requirements like That they used to be so fun, that's what NVIDIA does Oh, we have the topic about that too actually. Oh, okay. I think he hasn't read the whole doc yet No, that one's gonna be pretty fun. So so yes Yes Putting pressure on your partners Okay, to you know maintain pricing in the channel or whatever Yes, that is something that I have criticized NVIDIA for but it's part of the broader NVIDIA behavior that puts their partners in a position of constant fear You know you talk to you talk to an NVIDIA partner off the record and you kind of go, okay Well, like Yeah, why don't you just why don't you just take some of those GPUs that you've got and put them on like a cool small form factor card We're like, oh Because dad I'm like that. We're afraid. Yeah. Yeah, dad will never give me another GPU again dad will take my allocation of GPUs which I do still make money on and I Need to make money on because I spent all this development cost building these approved that approved products It'll just take my allocation for that quarter and give it to my biggest competitor and I don't know for a fact allegedly allegedly I don't know for a fact that they would do that But I've I've I've heard this fear Consistently enough from enough of dad's children. Oh, yeah, that I think I kind of I think I kind of believe it Yeah So that's that thing happened by the way Oh nice So screen is completely locked and I have to sleep it and then wake it up again, and it'll work fine So if you've ever wondered what what happened, do you remember those really cool little as rock mini desktops? That used MXM. Yeah Laptop GPUs you ever wonder what happened to those you ever you ever you ever wonder why there was never you know Updated mobile GPU things for a particular generation of laptops you ever wonder why framework has only radion as options You ever wonder any of these things it's because allegedly NVIDIA's partners are Terrified I got Petrified would be the right word. Yes. They won't act. Yeah, they are they are petrified of Running a fowl of NVIDIA by producing a product that NVIDIA hasn't signed off on and I got to tell you Some of the off-the-record conversations I've had so I can't repeat these because they would be too identifiable Right some of the off-the-record conversations that I've had about NVIDIA's logic for why these products can't exist Dude, it is some moon logic like makes literally no technical sense like like Like like fall of an empire people who have no idea what any of this is are making decisions That have no basis in logic or reality And it's very troubling However, however, I was chatting with Alex and He has a theory that oh hold on. We should do a recap of the 5060. Okay, so 5060. It's eight gigs 128 bit bus. It's three hundred dollars. It loses to the 3060 TI and arc B580 in some tests Multiple creators like hardware unboxed Jays two cents Paul's hardware digital foundry and more have criticized both the card And this is where we get into sort of NVIDIA's Not playing ball Fairly, I think I think I've talked about I've talked about this phrase a lot I think in the last couple of years is good faith, you know, what does good faith mean engaging in good faith, right? It means that, you know Being most for the most part, right fourth right honest Working together on you know a solution that benefits everybody and and I think that's what the media asks for from Companies right is can we work together in good faith understanding the value that we each bring to the table? I understand NVIDIA the value that you are bringing to the table by providing me with the card Early so that I can test it and evaluate it that has a positive effect on my business That is that also has a positive reflect on the audience and positive effect on the yeah So that has a positive effect on my business It also has a positive effect on the audience who gets to have all the reviews multiple perspectives Which Luke and I have always stressed is extremely important All of which had ample time to put together their analysis and and present it in a way that is Professional and thorough without being pushed or or forced really to say anything in particular Very key very key and that's part of NVIDIA's benefit. What NVIDIA gets in return is the credibility of These quotes that hey this card is good or it's really well optimized for that that they can then use to Market that card without having to pay for it Actually, my understanding is a lot of publications do charge for them to have the the logo or the badge or the quote or whatever We don't but in a lot of cases That's the that's the quid pro quo is we get access to the card so that we can do a great job you get more thorough more complete information because everybody isn't rushing against each other to be the first to publish and NVIDIA gets credible third-party validation of their claims about the product that is everybody working together in good faith and This launch has not been handled Well reviewers were not given drivers in time for the initial embargo We actually it's it's kind of funny to me that right now This time exactly now is when everybody's like really mad about this We made a video a one month ago now about the situation where NVIDIA wasn't providing drivers for the 8 gig variance of the 4060 series and we basically Said exactly what they've done now, which is it looks like what they're trying to do is they're trying to create an environment where all the Reviews of when you search for keyword 4060 are going to be of the TI 16 gig Because they're just not even going to bother seeding these other cards and they're going to kind of try to try to bury it and make Sure that it doesn't get covered that much So therefore the best performing videos on the topic of 4060 are going to be for this card that performs Markably markedly better Hey, it came to pass. We're not about it now I don't know whose permission we were waiting for to be mad about but hey, we're all on the same page now But there's another layer that is actually that is actually worse and this is this is this is This is not good Some creators were given access to the drivers ahead of time But only if they agreed to certain stipulations like testing games at 1080p Including older cards like the RTX 2060 and 3060 or even requiring Multiframe Gen results to be included now. I want to make this very clear In our review of a 4068 gig should we do one? We would seek to include older cards 50 Susie We would include. Oh, sorry. Thank you 50 60 We would seek to include older cards because I think that's really relevant especially you want to track what people would actually be upgrading large install base Yeah, okay, we would include Multiframe Gen tests. We we have done Wouldn't be doing is limiting our testing to that because that does not paint the entire picture So NVIDIA did exactly what I predicted they would do But they actually took it a step further Then I thought that they were capable of and that last part We should be extremely Upset about it's not the first time that NVIDIA has teased a card through select media In fact, we have Participated in that before we did we were the first to game on the 3090 I think it was us and MKBHD went live with 3090 videos before the review embargo But in that situation, it was clearly not a review There were stipulations on what we could show but all of that was communicated extremely transparently It was a it was a preview whereas I Also tend to not mind like if a if a manufacturer is like hey, we really want to show off this particular use case It's not necessarily a bad thing to include But you should still include the things that you want to include and you can mention in that part of your video like X Manufacturer X company whatever thinks this use case is important and then give your opinion on why you agree or don't agree I don't know. I think that's fine so Lane And like not too surprised it It's kind of sad to me that NVIDIA seemed to get Pretty cool leading up to the 5000 series launch. Yeah, and then they're just like yeah We're not releasing, you know new cards for probably like two years anyway, so so I want to talk about that I Had a chat with Alex We just like bumped into each other in the lobby because we're staying in the same hotel, you know things that happen. Yeah, and he had an interesting theory that NVIDIA's behavior right now is Not born out of malice But is born out of just utter incompetence Hold on let me get there for a second. Give me a second to get there what I was very specific about the words born out of So his theory is that after the 5090 the 50 see and and and his theory is like, you know There's a lot of evidence to back this up is that the rollout of the 50 series has been a cluster Oh, yeah, like there was the black screening issue. There was the issue with cards not having The the right number of Cuda cores in them. They somehow managed to still ship that connector. They shipped some with more They yeah, the the the the engineering oversight on the 5090 with the with the Pin balancing the I mean what what else is there been? Oh, okay? I mean, there's the fact that there's the fact that they're announcing 5060 laptops here at Computex And you still can't buy a 5070 laptop I never put that together, but that's rough. Well, dude Like that I I don't I don't think that the g-force side at NVIDIA is either being resourced correctly or Or There's that story. I don't know if we talked about on Wanshoe if I just heard this somewhere, but Jensen was talking to their whatever I'm gonna assume the title here, but like head of AI at NVIDIA And said to imagine every NVIDIA employee standing in the parking lot and That they were all available and ready to work for AI So basically you can loot any team in the company for whoever you want and that I'm sure that happened to g-force To a certain degree. So so let's come back to my very specific wording I don't think that this was born out of malice, but I think that Once your back is against the wall. I think you start to I think you start to find underhanded ways to dodge accountability I Think that I think that in order to I think that I think this is an exercise in butt covering I think trying to cover up how crap 5060 is I think this is and this is never so I guess what you're saying is it wasn't pre-meditated Yes, things started to go bad and then they did Bad things. Yes That's my that's my theory. Okay, that's my theory because I think you and I have both met a lot of technical people at NVIDIA Who would never Dream of misleading about the product. Sure the technical guys there are so good. They I mean they literally the NVIDIA literally built the industry standard tools for or built industry standard tools for testing, you know frame times and GPU power monitoring that tend to be like pretty well respected and fair they really like care about You know making a great product. So let's not imagine for a second That the technical folks there are not aware of issues. Yeah. Yeah, right and and and if you talk to them about it They're they're like, yeah Yeah, this one's like really good at this and this is a challenge in this, you know scenario and so If I had to guess I'd say this just basically comes down to the same kinds of issues that you know We'd run into with with Intel during the the stagnation years where you just have you know these business monsters these executives that are just looking to cover their hide and Figure out how to get their quarterly bonus by covering up the the products that aren't you know Aren't that good hoping like I don't know the media won't notice or whatever and It just it just sucks because I feel bad for all those really incredible Technical people who are really trying to build the best possible product. I mean this is that's fair This is a similar story like all the time, right? You have the same thing with developers at gaming companies Like the people working on the thing itself are not making the marketing and business decisions at the company But they catch a lot of the flak and a lot of times They're the ones making the thing so it's their baby So they feel the flak more heavily than some of the people making the decisions around how it's marketed how it's communicated stuff like that Yeah, I saw a really cool quote from someone at take two that was basically just like Yeah, I don't know rockstar. We just leave them alone. Yeah, the CEO was it. Yeah, I just came across it and I was like, yeah That's cool. Yeah, it was sweet. I want to find it Like dude, can you imagine? I mean, okay, look the technical folks don't always make sustainable business decisions You know, you sometimes it's also a little privileged Being like the company that owns rockstar to be like, yeah, we just leave them alone There's like billions of dollars. So we're just like, oh, it's fine. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. Yes. Yes. Yes And if rockstar, you know, wasn't you know making what was it? They're still making like a quarter billion dollars a quarter on GTA 5 Yeah, and I think over 200 million dollars a quarter on Red Dead Redemption So apparently the it's a I can't show you guys but a games radar article that says take twos CEO is probably the world's only person to refuse the chance to play GTA 6 Because I'm not a gamer and his role is to get out of their way So basically like he didn't want to play it and then have comments and then you know Maybe he says something someone hears something and then something's actioned because of it because he's just like I'm business. Yeah, this is not me. I'm gonna do business. So you're saying yeah make games. It's like all right, dude I don't know man. I get yeah, very privileged if you're gonna be the CEO of a gaming company and you're not a gamer That's probably the way to approach it. I like that to be honest. I respect it. Yeah, I respect it I respect it because when you have like And like okay, I mean our very own CEO Mr. Teran Tong will occasionally like Pitch into me with like content ideas, but he's always like Or just don't I fully recognize that this is like not my world and you've been doing this for 20 years and I've been a fly on the wall Watching you do it on the content side of things for you know two years You know, yeah, whatever And to his credit occasionally the idea is a really good and the dynamic for us is a little different So I can't really like feel that pressure, right? Right? He's my boss, but I'm also his boss Yeah, I'm my own grandpa, you know like that But I Appreciate and respect when people can be a leader of a company But also recognize that they are not an expert in what all the people at that company do yeah Probably a very small percentage of them realistically dude. Oh man. The bigger we get the more I noticed that yeah is like I'll I'll be like hey, what are you working on and someone's like working on something. I'm like cool even within my teams like what I'm often looking for is a strong and well-reasoned argument not a Thing that I necessarily premeditated because a lot of times it's like I have no idea But based on what you're saying is it like pretty obvious that you've done your research and this like makes sense. Yeah, okay Go for it. Yeah Like with the camera ops will be like hey, what do you think of this angle? Because I know that if I say you know do this angle I'm gonna get cooked. Yeah, cuz they know the angle is better than I know the angle They're looking at the viewfinder But sometimes it is reasonable to ask cuz you know maybe they've been rushing or whatever and they just didn't really think about it Yeah, maybe they were setting up all the gear while I've been kind of standing looking around or or maybe I have an idea for How I want it to flow into the next shot or you know, whatever and it's got to be a collaborative process But you gotta let experts cook. Yeah, there's just no other way around it What the heck are we supposed to be talking about? Do you think okay, you got it you got it Real talk, okay. Yeah, okay one of one of my big things right is I I have people around me that Help me help keep me accountable, you know and help me not just you know lash out emotionally sometimes I do it anyway Nice but Yeah, we've been taking some flak for making a video about a golden 5090 at a time when Other people are Holding NVIDIA accountable Yeah, as if we're not as if we didn't talk about this a month ago As if we don't have a long history. I actually I actually compile the list of times LTT held NVIDIA accountable goes back almost ten years and includes basically every major thing project green light the GeForce partner program when they turned off overclocking on their laptops and big blah blah blah there's all kinds of things Would it be an emotional and unnecessary response and I'm talking to you guys as well, so probably me up Floatplane check Can you relax? Okay, would it be an unnecessary and emotional response for me to do a video basically going okay? Here's what NVIDIA is doing right now The title I have in mind is Why is LTT silent about NVIDIA's media manipulation despite not having been and then basically the video lays out The the many many not silent times, you know back when hardware unboxed was being bullied by NVIDIA and NVIDIA was Basically saying cover RTX more favorably or you will never see the card to you again you know Do I have to lay this out because a lot of people don't seem to have a clue I? Think you could but I think your tone matters a lot What if my tone was as deeply sarcastic as I have ever been in my life Yeah, I think that wouldn't be good. Okay. Let me pitch you. Let me pitch this. Let me pitch this Oh, you wrote it already. Let me pitch this. Okay. This is this is this is one of the This is just kind of how I think Yeah, okay, so I have some notes No, I have a couple notes, but I do have kind of a I do have kind of a concept for it But I think this is sometimes just how he thinks that I think is really fun Okay, so of course The title would be like why I'd stayed silent about NVIDIA and we've got like you know Oh, sorry, just Nardella and full-plane chats have made it a full-plane exclusive Just so you know and just so some of the audience knows if he did that it would be Blood in the water like you've never seen Anyway, sorry keep going. Yeah, just in case there's any questions about that. Yeah So, yeah, I'm thinking like with the duct tape across the mouth or something like that nice good. Yeah, okay So get that clickbait in there. So so I made a wave of outrage over NVIDIA's Manipulative and course of behavior toward their partners in the media many of you've been asking why have I been silent? Yeah, to answer that question I guess I'll need to Investigate NVIDIA's history of behavior toward their partners in the media and since I've been such an obedient little submissive for NVIDIA I'll have to learn about it. Okay, so yeah cut that bit from the coverage of other media outlets. Oh, this one looks good Yeah, yeah, all right cut that bit. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on So I'm imagining we photoshop the channel icon and the channel I click on is actually LTT Ah, okay, and then we do and did you ever watch the spooky fish episode of South Park way back in the day? It's from like season two or something basically there's a parallel universe and Here hold on let me see if I can Let me see if I can find this. Ah, yes, here we go the evil versions of all the boys look exactly the same But just have a goatee a crappy. Yeah a crappy beard So I'm imagining as I learn about all the things NVIDIA has done over the years We actually motion-track like a crappy goatee onto fake LTT onto the LTT videos that I'm like learning about it from and then we do a big reveal at the end Where we like take off the goatee and we're like wow it was us all along. It was us all along Yeah, I'm not gonna get away with this am I I think it's really funny though. I think you can do it I think you got to drop some of the the wounded puppy stuff Are you? I Just want the b-roll shot of me being an obedient little submissive Yeah, okay, maybe but I think now he wants it. It's funny. You're gross It's the the problem is you got to keep it You got to keep it in the funny realm instead of the like why is everyone mean to me realm? Oh It's the why is everyone mean to me realm is just it's not gonna go Okay, I didn't give you the next line. So when I click the channel, I'm like whoa that guy and I could be brothers Let's see what he has to say about the most recent fiasco about limiting review samples and drivers for the RTX 5060 series And then I kind of watch a short clip from it. I'm outraged I Anyway, so I was kind of thinking it'll be it'll be very tongue-in-cheek, or maybe we just won't do it, but I Don't think it's a bad thing necessarily because I and we talked about this recently. We're like, I think sometimes in moments like this it makes sense to just kind of have a A open discussion with the audience and I think a problem that we've been having I've been talking about this literally for years at this point a really big problem that this Neesh has been having for a while and it's weird because for many many years This was not a problem at all, but this has become a major problem over the last few years is That if if any reviewer is not saying the exact same thing as every single other reviewer. Yeah, they are Condemned and it's everything. It's not just us. I'm not just saying us I have seen this with other creators as well. Yeah, that sucks That is super bad as an audience you should not want that that is that is horrible for you and it's horrible for the For the creator. So once the video transitions into the more serious side coffee. Could actually yes, that would be the plan You know, I've got this kind of line when I'm when I say anything positive about NVIDIA I'm able to shill when I say anything negative I'm able to hate her in this polarized world a person like me who calls out good and calls out bad ends up outcast by Both camps is that really what we want? I don't think They're making about you again. I think you should be talking about the end. I'm literally responding To people being like, how can you say anything that is different from what other people are saying right now? How can I talk about this card, which actually I don't even that's the really bizarre one is a lot of the like Why are you covering and video positively? Comments are on the video of this card where I kid you not the first line of it is mocking how the 5090 is overpriced Literally the very first line. You don't even have to like You don't even have to make it past the midway point in the video, which I know that most people don't Yeah, you have to make it to the first line. Yeah to know that we're taking the piss I'm interested because we we filmed a short. That's not out yet at an internet cafe here in Taiwan and The short opens with like What the heck is a Because this was the original reason why we went to this place nine years ago What is an NVIDIA certified land center and it ends with effectively they just spent a bunch of money nice But I am rather certain that people are gonna be like, oh How are you covering this right now and we're literally like yeah They just put their badge on the store if you like buy enough GPUs and that's it We like a dope. We don't praise NVIDIA's involvement at all We're like this is a really cool land center and what is the NVIDIA part? They bought a lot of GPUs. So then how do you get that message across without? You know to your point being a wounded puppy or talking about yourself because at the end of the day the problem is About like, you know, here's what we're trying to do and here's why it matters and here's why you should probably care and why just Being in camp for this company or camp against this company is really really really really bad Because it is really really really bad. I wonder as well like a conversation that Lannis and I have been having is is just that like I Think we're looking down the barrel of PC hardware in general Being a niche that is it it's it's following like the the population trend in most countries It's getting older There's not as many new entrants. I was having a conversation with some creators here, which is like yeah, there aren't as many There aren't that many like younger PC hardware creators showing up at these events Interesting like I was sitting around at a dinner that was like an open invite to basically any PC hardware creators here and most people had gray in their beards like Right. Yeah, I was like hmm This is interesting It doesn't necessarily bode well for like the future of this niche and one of the things that doesn't bode well for the future of Any niche unless it's a niche that's based around social interaction and this is not one This is a niche that is based around Ideally objective product evaluation is drama and chaos and It's it's a problem because when if you think about if it's a video game Let's go completely outside of this niche if it's a video game and you're a little bit interested in the video game a little outside and you go on to the Subreddit for that. Oh god, why did you do that on fire? Yeah, don't do that No, are you more or less interested in that game now less if anything it's less Like we're not This isn't inviting here's my problem though, and this is this is what I keep running into is Every time I tell myself hey I Want to be a voice of positivity, you know, I want to I want to be excited about things Something like terrible happens Like it is it is legitimately not cool and very anti-consumer and I I blame all of the big players literally All of them AMD Intel NVIDIA your key guys I blame all of them for the fact that naming schemes are a cluster They are in my opinion and this so I'm making it very clear. This is allegedly They are intentionally misleading. Oh, yeah, they intentionally obfuscate product information every launch to make it easier to sell Older generation hardware. Yeah, I Understand why they do it because if you can just not just not necessarily just older generation hardware But but lower-end cheaper something less expensive and So how am I supposed to stay positive? Yeah, like you don't I don't and that's the other thing you can't be positive all the time like my whole oh If everything's on fire all the time, it's not very inviting community Yeah, I I'm gonna stand behind that statement, but you also just can't leave these companies doing horrible things alone We're reviewers we need to point it out, but but so then back to okay How do I not be how do I not address it when I make a video that isn't even like positive? It's just about a thing. Yeah, and I'm not negative enough or I'm not on the right negative bandwagon I'm sitting here going like Y'all exhausted. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, like I and and you know what it's It's a good comment, right? Like Linus. You should just not care about the feedback at all and just like do your thing Just you know make whatever whatever video you want, but It's it's it's not it's not that easy. It's not it's not that simple. I wish that I Wish that I didn't have to care at all, you know what people what people think of the videos You know if you if you're just like yeah, Linus just like be you and you know We'll check out your your your contents like but I've always been someone who obsessively reads the comments and tries to tries to cater to the audience that is Literally you go to any YouTube conference. You go to any creator meetup. Hey, what's one of the keys to success? Know your audience. Yeah interact with your audience understand Understand your audience and if the audience, you know wants to be up on this like, you know scummy behavior or this like Incredibly, you know boring product or you know, whatever I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place because if I make a video about a boring product That's inherently a boring video and if I don't make a video about this boring product, then I'm silent and It's like, yo You know I I don't and so you have this like conflicting feedback none of which is right because I promise you that You know people are not gonna tune into that. They don't it doesn't resonate with them boredom doesn't sell yeah, and I Wish I had I wish I had solutions. I wish I had solutions here, but yeah, like my whole comment on the like Oh, the NVIDIA LAN Center certification is just buying some GPUs. That's at the very end of the short Because it's really boring. We didn't know the answer before we showed up When we figured out the answer we were like, oh, I mean I guess we'll answer the question considering the question It's at the beginning of the short, but it is boring. So we'll put it at the very end By the way, I've lost the comment now, but I'm gonna have to give this to you This is my geek card. I don't get to carry it anymore Because no, I did not realize that the Beards on the South Park episode were a Star Trek reference. Oh I Do I have to like throw this away? I didn't either What I didn't either. Oh really? I don't think either of us get it get it out of here Yeah, well, that's my I mean, that's my room key actually, but you don't need to go back Yeah, but my stuff's in there too bad. Okay. Um, I Have and oh boy, this is gonna upset some people. Oh I Have never watched the entire original series me neither. I have seen bits and pieces me too You know, I've seen enough, you know bits and pieces that I like very much get the vibe I've seen full episodes even but I have not watched the original series I've seen like the one good movie with the whales or whatever, but I was a child. I was a literal child I don't remember anything other than I think there were whales in it Yeah, oh, oh, no heresy. Oh, no We're just talking about how much it shouldn't be mad all the time. Then you just piss them off. Okay. I'll watch it I'll watch it. I'll watch it. I've actually been I've been watching like old old media. I finally watched Mad Max 2 So I have now seen Mad Max 2. Okay. I have finally watched Highlander. Okay. There was another And I'm gonna pronounce this in a very specific way. There was another Linus that For reasons that maybe will become clear in the future Prompted me to watch those movies. So I have now watched them I still have not watched the third Mad Max, which is the last Part of my assignment and then hopefully once that happens I will be able to talk about why someone named Linus Felt that I needed to be aware of the cultural significance of these movies I'm excited about that. There will be something. That's all I'll say so that could be Maybe something that could I don't know who knows. I mean, you never know, right? The world's world's crazy. World's crazy crazy bad sometimes crazy good sometimes. Let's have some fun You know, yeah, hey by the way, you guys are probably wondering like what's up with this thing this tower That's been what is up between us the whole time. So a Lot of people I think didn't manage to pick up on this even though I literally held up an invoice for it But I bought this. No. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, this was not a review sample or a I guess that was like a major part of that video or whatever. Yeah. Oh, dude You've been talking about like how to get it home and everything. It's amazing It's amazing what people can manage to not retain in the first like 30 seconds of the video I try not to let it bother me, but as you can tell I ain't working anyway, so I bought this because and again, a lot of people probably don't don't know this but I skipped 40 series in effectively Silent protests because no one really seemed to notice or care. What I skipped 40 series What because of NVIDIA's crappy pricing? But I don't think so you're an NVIDIA shell. Thank you. Thank you So you probably just said that I'm ready for an upgrade and I was like I'm sure you had 40 90s in every system. Hey if I can if I can get content out of it, then Hey, if I can buy like the the golden 150 90 and then I can also get some content out of it, then yeah, you know what screw it Let's do the bougiest build so I could get like a series of videos out of it And you know that'll that'll help to absorb some of the ridiculous cost. Do you have any idea how much this thing costs? Did you say like eight grand? So there's a range There's a range online. I Found out during the handoff that our per our procurement team was supposed to have been given a discount code That was supposed to make it closer to the lower end of the range And they just we didn't get it nice. So I paid about 8,000 US dollars for this GPU sick. Have you seen it in person? No It's not worth it And adding insult to injury the video didn't get a lot of views. Yeah, so I didn't But but but but the plan the plan is still to is still to you know, do other content with it So hopefully that'll help My plan has been disrupted a little bit, okay Because James had a really good idea For instead of me doing like a golden build or something like that which Realistically I was gonna water cool anyway. So like what's the point of a heat sink with gold on it? But I kind of thought that would be funny in like a completely twisted eat the rich way Is if I buy a golden GPU literally take all the gold off of it and then put on a water block And then I don't know maybe I'll have to gold plate the water block myself or something. Yeah Anyway, I just I thought that'd be funny That's edgy I'm gonna leave that out. We're good. No, I'd like to hear it. Let's say you could like hang it off the front of the case I Yeah, wear it sure Not the way I meant that but yeah for sure James had a better idea. Okay. What if we take it to the tech mall? Like have that guy or someone So I don't want to okay, you know what sure I'm gonna I'm gonna tease the premise I Went back to the tech mall golden GPU in hand and I said, okay, I have this is empty. I Have the Sultan of GPUs Who can build me the best throne for it? Whoa? And We got is it a competition the quotation Slash Concept and design part is a competition. Okay fair and we ultimately chose one builder Okay to build the ultimate throne. I haven't seen it yet. Oh It's in there right now. It's in there right now. Dang So nice. So theoretically This is my new gaming PC In here. I haven't seen it yet. So we'll have that video coming I Recently became aware at the time of picking up the system of a challenge that may change the concept somewhat But I'm gonna save that for the video I might not get to keep my golden GPU is all I is all I'll say about that so guys stay tuned This is gonna be this is gonna be pretty fun. I I think that If the concept art is anything like the finished system, this is gonna be one of the coolest systems We have ever shown on the channel, and I hope I'm not hyping this too much. They must have had a ton of time Ah The the builders Messaged me in the middle of the night saying hey, we're still up. We're pulling an all-nighter working on this system So they went hard. All right, they went they went pretty cray-cray. I'm pretty excited. It's gonna be it's it's gonna be pretty cool. Um, I Hope that we're allowed to just like do cool things No, yeah, I rested. Yeah put in jail. Yeah Yeah, I think that's I think one of my biggest pushes is like we can and should Stand up to bad practices from from companies and we have And other creators should as well. Yep, but I don't think that should mean that we have to Stop making this a fun niche to be in Instead of a niche that just screams All of the time. Yeah And I think that's important to remember because if we do become a niche that just screams all of the time We are just begging for Our death to be accelerated. That's it And I like building gaming PCs. Yeah. Yeah, I think it's fun and cool like I think we all started doing this for fun Yeah, and now we're just angry screaming redditors and that's like not cool Yeah, yeah, and we should be angry and scream sometimes like I am trying to I gotta try to keep this measured So I'm not trying to say we shouldn't do that. Yeah, like and each creator should find their own way to stand up against Really negative crappy business practices from these companies And I never go full reddit though. Yeah. Yeah, there's there's a difference agreed half those. Yeah. All right What are we supposed to be doing? I? Don't know probably sponsors or one of our 47 announcements. Yeah, let's do a sponsors We'll do we'll do sponsors. Okay. Yeah. Wow. We have not done all of our topics yet. No the show is brought to you today by thermal take It's not a hot take that this immersion cooled PC that Luke and Sammy checked out is pretty badass But sorry, it's not really meant to hit the market quite yet But what is coming soon our thermal takes minecube aio coolers and their project edge CPU fans We went to take a look this week during Computex and some pretty neat stuff. They're patented minecube coolers have four. Yes, my friends four 720 by 720 4-inch LCD screens all Able to show unique visuals or real-time PC info The goal for thermal take here was to make it easy to customize and control what you see with their brand new software Which comes with an AI tool that helps generate an entire story to play out across all the screens Good Lord They also showed off their project edge fans which also have LCD screens on them that are linkable showing real-time information pictures GIFs and More plus with a magnetic connection Daisy changing them together and creating a cool seamless design is a breeze They also showed off some new colors for their popular TR 100 mini itx case now available in a future dusk and gravel sand Do you put it on your lawn? Sorry, sorry And they even added two brand new form factors to the line the micro ATX TR 200 and the ATX TR 100 Both come with a front-loaded PSU design and support for a six-inch LCD display and these guys really like their displays Who can blame them though screens? They're kind of cool. Everything is set to come out sometime this year So head over to thermal take comm and keep an eye out for when they're available Thanks again to thermal take for being the sole sponsor of this week's special Computex 2025 edition of the WAN Show or as we call it the Taiwan show Haha No, nothing. Wow. Not even thanks Andy. Maybe the final fantasy one. Please don't please don't that won't be necessary Okay, what do you want to talk about? Wait, that's it. We just have one sponsor. That's it. Nice. Do we want to do some of the announcements? We can do well, let's do whatever there's so many of them Why don't you get through a couple of announcements and then we'll just try and go through all of these topics because there's a couple announcements and LTT Store first Dan you're gonna have to click links and show things I guess. Are you are you on it? He's on it He's on it like a bonnet Like a like a hood Like a hoodie. Ah That's pretty good. We're launching a run of our original hoodie blanks for purchase for the very first time Custom made with 100% cotton for comfort and a French terry interior to keep things breathable because we couldn't find a hoodie out there that felt like how we think a hoodie should feel Available now in black and brick a darker red. You can get yours today at LMG. GG slash blank hoodie. We are also announcing pre-tariff pricing returning to LTT Store US for commuter backpacks and magnetic cable management This weekend on the US site global customers you are already getting pre-tariff pricing after conversion So technically this is also for you So commuter bags and magnetic cable management now is a great time to pick those up if you are in the US We've got this Yeah, we've got that all on LTT Store Com if you guys want to use one of those items to send a merch message Hey merch messages are the way to interact with the show. We don't do twitch bits or super chats We like that if you throw your money at the screen you actually get something in return when you send a merch message So all you got to do is go to LTT Store com add something to your cart And you'll see a box when we're live that will give you a space to type up a merch message It'll go to producer Dan who I guess is gonna have to turn on his own camera There it is nice Doesn't work as well when I can't turn him off while he's still waving. I know I know it's terrible. Yeah You're gonna do it to yourself kind of breaks the vibe anyway So it'll go to producer Dan and who will reply to it or send it to someone to help answer your question Or we'll even curate it for me and Luke So Dan do you want to hit us with a couple merch messages to show the folks how it works? I'm not entirely sure I have any tonight none Really this is what happens when I don't mention the merch for the first hour of the show All right, why don't we jump into another topic then shall we? Yeah, I jump into another topic something might have failed on the back end. Should we talk about something really cool? Yeah, let's talk about German courts getting it right. Yeah, this is awesome. Do you want to read a topic for a change? Sure? I gotta find it first give me one sec Our merch messages broken. Is that what you've been tapety-tapping at? No, I've been tapety-tapping in a lot of other things. I got it. We're back on now. All good. Oh Everything okay? No Ah District Court in Cologne has ordered Netflix to reimburse a customer 200 euros for failing to get the customer's consent for subscription price increases Netflix increased its prices by over 50 percent between December 2017 and May of 2022 the price increases themselves were not condemned by the court rather the lack of informed consent That's the particular issue a ruling from the Berlin Regional Court in 2021 found a provision in Netflix's user agreement that granted the company the right to increase prices at will and without the subscribers agreement was unfair and thus invalid a Higher yeah, everything you sign is not technically binding if it's just BS, which is Weird but probably good Because nobody reads that stuff anyways a higher court upheld this ruling two years later while Netflix has presented German users with a dialogue Dialogue box I guess to agree to more recent price increases. It appears that this may not actually track That they need to actually assume that the user agreed if they don't unsubscribe from the service whoa This means that if you didn't use Netflix for a couple months or your kid clicked through the dialogue on your account You never saw it. You'll be billed at the increased rate without consent. Yeah Interesting and that's very common just to be clear not necessarily the kid thing. I don't know about that. It might be but the The the people just having accounts that they don't use is like huge the kid thing is definitely a thing. I promise not surprised The case clears away for other German users to follow complaints and the consumer rights magazine don't even try Stiff tongue Warren test you tried. Yeah, what should that okay? Well the entire comment section is just that now That's better than it other Luke. Are you not even German before last name like la fregniere? I mean we have a new video box on screen. We might as well take some flak off. Yeah, that's yeah, you know And I'm actually like just as German as I am French life is strange The Anyways in a separate case the Hanover administrative court has confirmed a judgment stating that hold on. Hold on. Let's talk about this first one first Okay This is sick Yeah, it's great. This is awesome. Yeah. Yeah, it why do you just get to unilaterally? I do understand legally why you are allowed to unilaterally increase the price of a subscription service because technically Every month is a new contract So you can just I don't know. Yeah, it's a new contract now. And so if you stay subscribed you agree to the new contract. No That shouldn't be how things work and if you if you want if you want to negotiate a new contract in my opinion You should have to cancel Everyone's contract and then sign them up again. You should have to go through the whole sign-up process again I guarantee you if that was how companies will stop doing that immediately companies would immediately Not do this ever again. They would not raise prices They would set a price that is actually sustainable and then they would not Touch it for the love of God not touch it and that doesn't mean that they can't increase pricing They absolutely can but it would be on Future sign-ups. So if you get grandfathered in at a low rate if you get a low rate You get a promotional rate or you get whatever then that's it like you got it That was the deal that you signed up for if they changed the deal after then that literally Isn't the deal you signed up for quite literally this is So validating because I feel like I've talked about this so many times I Freaking love it like there's um There's immense lock-in from payment processors, but it's not even because it's that hard to On a technical level swap it and swap out payment processors the problem is that all your legal payment agreements are in that other payment processor and Like stripe it talks about how they can handle migrations and stuff, but it's really not that clean and You start actually talking about it. It's a lot more complicated And it's it's easier in some scenarios and blah blah blah, but There's things that different payment processors will do to try to increase this level of lock-in and Nobody really changes the payment processors pretty much ever if they have subscriptions Because the chance that these people won't come back not just because they might have forgotten that they have the subscription because You're re-asking them fresh if it's worth it fresh and and just re-asking them if it's worth it You will lose a ton of people a ton. I Love it by the way, we did get a detail wrong in that VPN story last week apparently sure when they said they didn't acquire the existing like Customers they actually didn't acquire the monthly subscribers either. Oh, okay, so I'm a lot more okay with it So they had a bunch of free people Who were obfuscated in the P&L by the paying customers and when they bought it? They didn't get the paying customers and weren't told about the free people and The free deals were available through like third-party websites and stuff So we're like not obviously a parent get them at all. They should have had no users, right? So so they had anything more than zero traffic. They should have known things had I Looks like it's them. Goodbye. No, they just they just quit. That's that's so cool. This is great. I love it How does this happen Well sure I guess we're at technical difficulties now, let me see if I can get him back Oh good old Taiwan How are you guys doing? Oh Hi, who dropped was it me or you you I think okay, are we Are we gonna come back? Yeah, there you are because if it was if it was us that dropped You would have kept streaming, right? I thought I kept streaming and just lost you guys Okay, cool. Oh, no. All right. Have fun Our We back our back. We're back. Okay, cool. That's pretty neat. Hey guys sup Cool. So apparently the last thing they heard was zero users. So long story short Yeah, basically by by cutting those people off who in their mind They were doing a favor to by allowing them to continue to use this service They hadn't even acquired users for for free. They were like being bros. I Don't like how any of this went down the whole thing is like sucky But that is more bad on the company that sold. Yes versus the company that actually acquired the VPN and I It adds some nuance to the situation that I felt we should definitely follow. Oh, yeah, that's fair. Yeah All right, cool This is unrelated to the topic, but if we want to correct things from last week, I have something to correct as well Oh, what now I had said this is important. Okay Like I got I got a Come true with the audience here come true. Okay Is that not a phrase? I'm gonna say So, why don't you correct something close to that Be real maybe that's it come clean come clean come clean Yeah, I gotta come clean with the audience here. That's not how that works the cleanup is after I lied last week did you yep? Not intentionally, but I was wrong Okay, I know I was making fun Dan. He just doesn't know thing. Yeah I said that I had a character in file fancy six. Oh And I only thought I did you thought you had a character because I've done some you don't have any characters Are you high? The whole game is like that you have tons of characters. No, and I don't even remember their name because I renamed them Tara There we go Tara Brannford. Yeah, sure you Imperial Magitech When do they talk about last names? How do you know their last name? Why would I not? I don't think I've ever seen their last name. Why do you think it's called in the whole game Garo Castle? Okay, yeah, sure fair. So what do you think Edgar's last name is smart guy Brannford's castle? I just when did they talk about her last name pathetic? Okay, well, I renamed some characters while I was playing literally don't yeah, I have to like Know the cannon. Okay, sure. It's like my favorite game of all time. So I just like no things like you okay Yeah, sure. Um, so I had renamed some characters. So when he asked me if I had Tara Tara, I thought I did but I had a different character. Okay. I did not have a character. Did you even have I? Don't sets or something How could you possibly I didn't know the names how could you possibly think the old Bushido guy with a mustache. Oh is named Tara. That's not the old Bushido guy You're wrong about your own game the gambler. Sorry I only know that because that's one of the characters I didn't rename How could you possibly think the white haired gambler dude is named Tara? Honestly, I never ever had them in my party Ever and I forgot anything about them at all And I had just gotten them iconic Oppressing and everything and like that. What do you mean? You just got him. No, you've got him in the world of balance Oh, no, no, I in the world of ruin. I had just gotten them Oh, and I never had them in my party ever in world. I can't believe I just brain farted Look before the show started, okay, I had to go back to my room to get my headphones. I literally Went up instead of down and then literally didn't realize it and tried my keycard on someone else's room before I went Oh my god I'm on completely the wrong floor just to give you some idea of where my brain is Is it is that but yeah, I have Tara now, okay? Yeah, okay, actually White I don't know How can you play how can you look at characters for this long and not know what they look like do you even Are you even playing the game? Are you just having an AI do it? I think it should count pink or something If he doesn't know what the main when you have her go trance, it's definitely like white and pink Okay, anyway, I know the blitzes, but I don't know the character's names or what they look like There you go, okay, I can like do the blitz inputs by memorization I love that I literally lent him a SNES controller to play this game So he could have the authentic experience and an adapter I went and he went and he took his hand he went I know the blitzes and he used the arrow keys. I played with the SNES controller at home a little bit I didn't want to take it traveling. So I don't want to break it. It doesn't matter. No, that's cheap Okay, you can also just not carry it. That's fine. You can just play with your keyboard like a pleb Truthfully the first time I actually beat the game because I didn't beat it when I owned it as a kid I was a kid and I was too dumb And then I lost my super Nintendo when I moved between my parents houses. I didn't have it anymore And so the first time I actually beat the game was on Zed SNES on a computer 100% used to control a keyboard for that It's not that bad. Oh, it's actually way easier to input the blitzes on a keyboard. I could see that For whatever reason like the most powerful ones are incredibly easy though. That's just like going to circle That's a remaster thing. Oh, and they're they're much harder on the controller. Okay. Yeah, like I said, they're they're really easy But one of them is literally just one way around the circle the other one's the other way around the circle Yeah, but if you if you get pressing it Or no, it's not the other way around the circle. It's just the continuation of the circle If you get pressing it wrong like if you accidentally start at an angle instead It's it's a lot easier to screw up on like a d-pad that literally doesn't have diagonals, right? Right because it's just across d-pad. So you have to like you have to nail it And you will screw it up for I have I have been annihilated because I like kind of screwed up a blitz and put the remaster really screws up a lot of the balance of The original game like the the sword techs or whatever Bushido abilities They were called sword tech. That wasn't a brain fart on the original the Bushido abilities You can just use anyone you want now. It's like you had to wait before so if you were playing in the active battle mode You'd be like getting hit while you waited for him to like queue up quadra slice. Oh, yeah, so like I never really run him anyways I he sucks the the weird thing for me right now is I have way Harder of a time with like the random encounters that I do with bosses. I Wipe bosses like no problem Often like two three turns in done took very little damage if nothing And then I'll just die to random encounters by getting like one shot out of nowhere Like first move random encounter characters dead What and this is like happened multiple times have you considered that you may be a bad gamer I have I Have never lost to a boss in the game so far. Okay. I have party wiped multiple times Just like random encounter trash, which is so annoying because it's less likely that I saved recently All right, why don't we talk about the other cool thing in a separate case? The Hanover administrative court has confirmed a judgment stating that cookie banners must not Be designed to encourage users to consent and that website operators must offer a clearly visible Reject all button on the first level of cookie consent banners if the banner includes an accept all button That's huge for me. That's cool The judgment came after lower sac sneeze data protection officer demanded a redesign of a media company's cookie banner because it didn't obtain effective informed and voluntary consent before setting cookies and processing personal information the company disagreed and Claimed that the data protection authority was not responsible for monitoring illegal provisions concerning cookies The court found that rejecting cookies on the banner in question was much more complicated than accepting them and that the banner used misleading wording such as optimal user experience and accept and close while the term consent was completely missing That's super cool, that's just awesome Cuz like sometimes Man, there are so many bad cookies. Sometimes there are cookies that do enhance website experiences would be No, go ahead almost never do I care though and I just reject everything, but it's still but it's still This is so I love it. Yeah, that's great. I hate that. It's only gonna be in Germany. Yeah, yeah But hopefully, you know these types of things. Hopefully they bleed out over time. Yeah, I hope so. I mean Apple is certainly doing Absolutely everything in their power to slow roll any of the the antitrust and regulatory stuff that's hit them over the last little bit man Fortnite is back on the App Store and It's pretty crazy our discussion question for this topic is Is Apple the most childish corporation on the planet or does that award go to someone else because? Wow, have they ever Engaged in some like peak level malicious compliance over this whole third-party payment processors on the App Store thing It's almost like the only reason they ever cared about any of it Was so that they wouldn't have to compete and they could take their enormous cut acting as the sole Monopolistic payment processor on this platform. I feel like there's got to be worse ones This is the one that's like most in our order. It's just hilarious Yeah, after Apple lost the court case regarding in-app third-party purchases Epic submitted for tonight for approval to the App Store Apple This is so funny. This is so Apple too. Oh Man Apple refused to either accept or decline the application leaving it in limbo Because if they declined it well, then you know, they'd get in trouble, but like Well, do we have to hear if they accept it? I mean we're like we're looking at it. I don't know US district judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers who by the way is an absolute Chad from everything that I've seen about her seems like it wrote in an Order that Apple has to accept or decline the application and this is a quote Apple is fully capable of resolving this issue without further briefing or a hearing based Apple has since accepted the application and fortnight is now back on the App Store huge for real though actually like Super okay, I feel like I always have to disclaim this right because not a fan of everything Tim Sweeney does all right But this Genuinely benefits every all this was massive developer. Yeah for iOS. I'll also give them a show I don't like fortnight. I think I've played it one time ever and did not enjoy it and never played it again I mean in fairness fortnight changes a lot, so you might like it more now I think they're doing probably like see you type stuff where you can make all kinds of new game modes and stuff We have to look cool. Look the point is either way the point is be open-minded. Okay. Try anything twice Um It's it's currently number one in adventure games on the App Store and already has over 20,000 ratings and has been up for like Days so clearly doing pretty well. Yes, Jim Ash says. Yes, Sweeney is doing this for the future of games Which is like his company's future, you know, I think a lot of it is like Personal vendetta. We're just benefiting from it, which is great It's a huge win for everyone. Yeah, and realistically. He's one of the few company leaders who has the money and not just the money, but the absolute Iron balls to do this. Yeah. Yeah, because Apple is a vindictive Company if you step out of line very NVIDIA ask they will never Engage with you again to NVIDIA's credit They actually do let bygones be bygones eventually they they we were we were black-balled for two years over the hard-run box thing Yeah, we'll see and we are officially on black-balled now. Ah, we could be black-balled again But I'm really wondering how much of it was just like clear the field before 5,000 series comes out And then who cares after no, I think it was more a specific person who was a skirt. Yeah. Yeah That's that's we'll see how things go in the next like six months I'm reserving judgment until Yeah There's been some bad that I don't even think is Not super public yet. It's not mine to release. Oh, yeah. Oh, no. Oh, yeah Like real bad more Okay, why don't I talk about something good while he types that up steam OS moves one step closer to a wider release with a new update Valve has released steam OS 3.7 point 8 which comes with official support for third-party PC handhelds This is so cool. So you could just go install it on your ally or your IA NEO or whatever Along with a bevy of other upgrades This is the first version of the software to offer an official recovery image with explicit support for installation on devices with AMD hardware, okay, so not just anything just yet and an NVMe drive although valve does Specify that is targeted towards handheld devices and is not final So you can basically install it on like whatever as long as you've got AMD hardware and an NVMe drive There's also explicit installation instructions for the Legion Go and ROG ally Is it the year of the Linux desktop actually though this time? This is so cool other upgrades include new Mesa graphics drivers base Bluetooth mic support and desktop mode still no gaming mode Battery management tools and the ability to turn a steam deck turn on a steam deck via a Bluetooth controller Which was previously only possible on the OLED So this is super cool if you have just like a steam machine in your living room Remember when they used to call them steam machines? So if you just have one as like a like a living room console, you can just use your Bluetooth controller to be like Boop turn my steam. Ah, I'm so excited. I'm so excited and I'm excited for competition Look at the way Microsoft has allegedly Woken up and is like, you know Allegedly partnering with ASUS on the Ally 2 and you know trying to make Windows a better like gaming platform like What's going conversation? It's always good. Yeah. Hell. Yeah, literally competition is always better than not competition I think if there's a time that competition was worse I guess if you have like a super fragmented market and then like Okay, I think there's a there's probably a middle ground between businesses. There's a middle ground. No, no I'm even thinking businesses. Okay, so so imagine a world. Okay, you don't want there to be one bank or One insurance company because that's terrible because then there's no competition, but you also don't want there to be 10,000 banks and 10,000 insurance companies because those will be very small companies and those types of institutions need Scale in order to absorb the sometimes one time large one-time losses that they can experience There's a middle ground. I think there's some debate there on the bank side of things No, dude when you have like a thousand tiny banks, it's much easier for there to be a bank run Because it can be in like a very localized when you have Omega banks. Well, that's what that's no this is bad They cause recessions due to bad practice. Yeah I'm saying I'm saying that more is not always better Sure, but you're not saying that infinite competition of infinite parties is good You're saying that competition is always good. Is that what I said? I don't remember my exact wording You said competition is always good. I said it's always better. Yeah But that doesn't have to mean that there are thousands and thousands of players competing sure I'm just saying there's a middle ground of like Like like peak competition goodness That's all I'm saying. I think we do this as a company. I know I do this. So I'm not trying to exclude myself I think sometimes we're like We get and this is why I say I don't know all the time. So I'm 100 on board with this We're so worried about people just taking crap that we say and twisting it that we run around It's so many circles that we end up losing the plot part way through Oh Man, we're just saying black and red is a cool color combination. That's all That's all we we like it for gaming PCs who made their uniforms aren't they like still around hugo boss Yeah, and super famous. I don't want to get that wrong. I don't want to get very fashionable Uh Nazi uniforms. I think it was hugo boss um Yes, hugo boss apologized for nazi past. Uh, yeah, okay. Okay. Yep. There you go. Yeah, so hugo hugo boss, by the way Really, yeah, I saw it Like there's no belief here. I saw it. He showed me All right, he's gonna deal with it in his own way or whatever So how can they be actually that stupid? I think is the question. But this is my like I don't know man. We'll see we'll see over the next while when I was digging up all the times that we've criticized NVIDIA in the past I came across some stuff that I had forgotten about um, and one of them was the an LMG clip where I um, I basically came out and I was like I no longer believe they are playing 4d chess I believe they're idiots um Past line is smart guy I beard I saw that and uh, yeah I saw that and genuinely like kind of laughed because it was just So dumb Yeah, yeah, and it yeah Yeah And like the timing of it, it's terrible. Holy dude. Um, hey more good news though Yeah, remember that nas company that I invested in. Yeah, remember. Yeah, remember how people were like Hating on the launch and the comments were all like this is pointless No one would ever buy this if you're excited about this you should feel bad Remember how they had a really really great launch and lots of people gave them a bunch of money Want to hear one of the cool things that they are already doing with that money. Yeah zfs any raid Sponsored by ash tech. So that's the the nas company that I made the small investment in um This is so cool earlier this week, dude. I've I have wanted to talk about this so hard because I have known for a while Because they basically immediately when they're when their first couple days of sales Were bonkers. They were like Oh my god, let's do something there's opportunity now There's stuff that we had on the roadmap for like Like the future that we could just Immediately start fixing because there's these projects that are just like Super cool, but just not funded so people can't work on them and we could just we could just do this cool stuff, dude Oh, I've wanted to talk about this basically since they're freak they freaking went out from cover whatever whatever blue cover whatever it's called when like Um, the when the when like a startup stops being stealth unstealth mode, whatever there's a term for it Doesn't matter. Yeah, the point is Earlier this week esh tech the creators of xos investment disclosure introduced to the world zfs any raid developed by clara ink sponsored by esh tech zfs any raid will introduce two new pool layouts any raid mirror and any raid z1 Any raid mirror will be available first and will ensure that all data will be written to two different discs in pools Of more than two discs of differing sizes. So Um, this is a little bit out of order, but the point is you can raid discs in zfs. So so Raid z not like hardware raid like software at raid z like zfs So you can you can create pools with differing discs And you were always able to do that, but there would be a huge loss in total capacity Uh, you would basically go lowest common denominator So if I had a 10 terabyte drive and a two terabyte drive and I raid Z one to them or whatever whatever I think technically raid z1 is not a mirror even though it like kind of operates like a mirror if you just have two drives Don't worry about it. The point is if I used them, I would get a total of four terabytes of usable capacity out of my 12 terabytes That's not a great experience. No, so um Any raid z1 will take the same concept and and features as zfs raid z1 So where you can lose any one drive and it will add support for mixed drive sizes Uh, this is so cool. So how much space can we gain? Here's some examples Okay, we have a pool with a four terabyte drive a six terabyte drive and an eight terabyte drive Okay, so we are this is some this is some mix and match here. All right Okay, check this out. Oh, wait, I can't screen share Dan Dan. Can you show them the table? on it So in a in mirror, so this is a traditional mirror I can't see that any In a traditional mirror, uh, we would get 10 terabytes only out of our total What is this 12 plus 8 20 out of our 24 terabytes? That is that is an awful amount of storage to give up two parity Okay, in new any raid mirror We get 12 terabytes. Okay, that's not a lot more But if you can see on our table that Dan maybe has on the thing I can't tell you can see on our table that if we add a four terabyte drive We actually get half of the capacity whereas with the old mirror. There would be no change Okay, so A little bit exciting. Here's where things get really cool In raid z1 versus any raid z1 our pool capacity goes from literally half Okay, 12 terabytes to 16 terabytes out of our initial 24 And then if we add four terabytes we get two and a half terabytes instead of Okay, actually that works out a little bit better on the other one. The point is more The point is more when is it coming? Ashtex says they won't even say soon But they will keep the community updated as the project progresses and hits key milestones. I am I am pretty I am pretty excited Getting more of your user space out of mishmash of drives is a very consumer friendly feature that has pretty much no benefit whatsoever to enterprise customers Who are just always using matching drives, which is why this has never been worked on and just like how a lot of people were like Oh, like as a homelab enthusiast. This isn't necessarily something that I would want. Sure. Um, cool This caters to not necessarily homelab enthusiast as well where it's like this is just what I've got And I want to make something out of it. Yeah, so this is in my opinion. This is a very like Informed thing for them to back early Super I think it makes a lot of sense super cool. It's for people who are just you know building their first jellyfin server. Yeah, who are Who are who are got some old desktops that yeah have been in the garage for a few years that has drives in it Let me throw these in here and do what I can Super excited for this sick And I'm super excited to see them Taking that initial money that they got from their from their like alpha You know, hey, trust us. We're gonna do cool stuff with this Uh, like launch and then actually doing cool stuff with it just because I'm starting to see this already No, we are not saying that nothing else can do this No but zfs This was not a feature of Zfs and so that's what's really exciting is you get all the zfs goodness, but also makes a match it's just awesome Yes, I know drobo existed ages ago. That's not the point. The point is and there's yeah other ones zfs one thing we have until your cutoff That you defined 18 minutes We have until your face I'm good. Whenever I'm already checked out of the hotel. Um nerd Yeah And I was on we can go a little longer. We'll go a little longer. All right. I will We'll do our best. We'll do our best. We always do our best. Hey, do you want to do want to go through the The the computex roundup from someone on computex? Apparently it's supposed to be wacky stuff So Dan, do you want to just like pop them up on screen and sync with us? We'll go through an order Uh, yeah, depends how fast you are the doctor All right, so I'm gonna click the first one It's a pulsar x knock to our mouse Okay, a hundred percent. I saw this and just thought someone was trolling with like AI models. I didn't think this was real. Oh, yeah What I saw it in person. It's real Are they actually gonna like sell these? Or was it a part of real? Do you not understand sir that thermo take? Oil case thing. Yeah, they've had a different Dramatically different iteration of it every year. I don't know if that's ever gonna be for sale. It's I love going and seeing What they're currently doing. I don't know if they're ever gonna sell it We'll see It weighs about 20 grams more than the the regular um I forget what model of most this is uh fine fine men or something like that. Hold on Uh, yeah the fine men most um the the weight distribution Felt a little different to me as well. It's kind of a fan in it, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so it's probably yeah I feel a little bit. I definitely had some ideas for a v2 right now The fan is just on and I was like, oh, it'd be kind of cool if it had like a moisture sensor So that it only turns on if your hands are actually sweaty um Because sometimes I'm a pretty warm boy, but other times, you know in the middle of the night in particular I get to be a pretty cold boy. Yeah, pwm it basically, you know, there's like, um The the single button that just cycles through memo sensitivities Uh, it it may be controllable. I'm not sure actually look It is controllable. Okay, so it's controllable, but it's always on. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, anyway, it's it's pretty cool It's pretty light. It's like 60 something grams. It's not bad considering. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah pretty cool. Okay next up 3000 watt psus More than one brand was showing off power supplies that were 3000 watts or more Basically ai. All right, let's move on. Um Inwin unveiled whatever this is. Yeah, they say this case is trophy inspired It is over a meter tall and will support full-size 50 series GPU's. I should certainly hope so Imagine it didn't Yep inwind back with another signature case. They do that. They do that and um Apparently it weighs like 40 kilos or something like that. Nice. I don't I don't remember the number don't quote me on that but Apparently it weighs a lot. I was talking to someone from my team who saw this in person I didn't actually catch this Uh ShortCircuit the thermal rate frozen creator Okay, okay, this actually looks extremely legit Dude AMD Strix halo is I swear the coolest CPU in the last I don't know 10 years. I can't I can't think of anything cooler in that time frame. Yeah, uh, I get apples I'm silicon. It's really cool. But like on the pc space on the pc side, dude I interpreted that way. It is so cool. Like that is a gaming pc in alex's hand That is capable of like playing black myth mukong. Yeah And the fact that thermal rate is getting into PCs. I mean, obviously they know the cooling for PCs. So like why not? But this looks awesome Uh, oh, I don't know. I guess investment disclosure since framework also makes a strict halo thing Oh, okay, but like that's sure. Okay. I don't know the right way to handle this because that seems dumb Like why am I bringing up framework if all I'm saying is that something else looks awesome? No, it's good But yeah, it's good for framework. But is that actually good for the audience? I'm not 100 sure probably not But it's good for framework and it's the law Got them I love it. You legally have to advertise for framework. I think that's hilarious. I genuinely think that's very funny I Like I That is thoroughly entertaining to me. Um In other news Hey Do you need a monitor on your CPU cooler? um Because there's a lot of them Wait, is this real? The first one the first one's not real. I don't think so. It looks like a tablet. Uh for Is this real This this the zygmatec one real Do you know Dan? No idea It slots into the zygmatec pump by sliding into what looks like an alien's shoulder socket Okay, apparently it's real Uh, I did not catch this that it. Wow that boy. That is something. Um, that makes Cooler masters and thermal takes look downright reasonable um Lee and lee also has a curved display on their aio check this out I don't Hey sequel to the all-screen pc let's go I guess I just I think the yeah, I don't know. I don't want to be I don't want to be too negative after spending a significant part of the show Talking about how we need to be more positive, but stuff like that makes me feel like we're running out of ideas I mean Maybe it's just not for me. Didn't all of computer x kind of feel like we're running out of ideas this year sure did it was a this was Noctis booth was super cool. Um, they're evaporative thermo siphon cooler If it performs anywhere near like what they think they can achieve it will be a remarkable piece of kit Um at a astronomical price probably um So like there's some innovation there um Seasonic I liked But like basically they're just like fixing someone else's problem, you know, so It's hard to get excited about that Uh, oh this card no one can afford won't blow up anymore if I add this thing That isn't out yet. Yeah, um cool Aseus has an ergonomic keyboard With a split in the middle Okay, that is not an ergonomic keyboard. That is just a keyboard that separates in the middle But I think people do still categorize that as ergonomic really because of your shoulder rotation Okay. Yeah, all right. So it's not ergonomic in all ways, but it's ergonomic for your shoulder rotation Uh keyboards like this have existed for a long time. There was many of them at the show I'll allow it Um, the silver stone retro case is legitimately cool. Okay. This was actually cool, but it's not a new idea. That's for sure Specifically an old one. It looks sick though Uh I genuinely really like it Yeah, and unlike the first gen one it gave more thought to like cooling and putting modern hardware in it and stuff Yeah, like you can you can really put a top-of-the-line gaming machine in this and build a sleeper without doing any of the actual like Fabrication work of building a sleeper. This looks amazing. I wonder if this would be a theft deterrent Like if you did up if you'd like did up your setup like retro style and put like like if you like 3d printed like a bigger bezel on your monitor and like Used uh used like like beige keycaps on like a sick mechanical keyboard and like like if you did it up Would anybody steal it that? Okay, hold on a second. Hold on a second. Could there be a way for us to like Social experiment this can you like? You know how like bait cars they can kind of like bait people into trying to steal them bait a whole computer Bait a house Because someone would have to like go into it and then we have to like see if they take the computer Work with mark rober Like is that a thing there's got to be a youtube channel that like does this Well mark rober did the porch pirate thing for years. Well, yeah That's porch pirating though. I mean not every porch pirate is just gonna like weigh significantly more common Yeah I have no idea. I think baiting someone to break into a house is probably Pretty hard to predict gilmore d in Floatplane chat says whoever did that bait would be a master All right on that note um PC world scented thermal paste our question from the writer is would elijah eat this? Yeah Uh I feel like if you if you paid him like 20 bucks, I think you'd send it scented thermal paste Wow We're definitely not out of ideas. We've we've started sending thermal paste. Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna close that topic Um, cool. We've got an announcement. It's not it's not like Innovation is impossible. This isn't new But like we saw a fractal go with those the the like wooden and that dramatically changed the case industry Yeah, yeah that new anti like it's there. There is still the new anti case is interesting Like there's there is stuff that people can do I meant it as wood like the fractal one. Hmm. Oh, I thought you meant the Did they do a collab? Yeah, they did it has wood on it. Oh it does. Yeah, because like, you know trends. Yeah This week on Floatplane We've got a ton of behind the scenes from our time at computex And some more firetruck slash april fools behind the scenes as well with a new why is when late episode We're supposed to watch the clip. So I guess I'll click on it now Dan I can't really show a Floatplane clip because I have to log in and things like that You can't show a Floatplane clip. You'd have to log in. Well, I think the question Dan That is on all of our minds is why are you not logged into Floatplane? Yeah, don't you care? Yeah, let me just download it And then add it to the streaming software so that I can show it for four seconds Nice I I can't tell if his voice was coming through to them. But if it wasn't Uh, it was loaded with passive aggression. Oh, no, wait Floatplane's actually really fast. So that took like no time at all Nice. Good job luke. All right. Here you go. Uh, what is it this button? I do what I'm doing shut up You guys zero I love that it works. Yeah, that's so cool. That's pretty cool We will also have secret shopper part four the finale Which will be available next week up early on Floatplane. So go check it out And then we have a final rog rig reboot reminder There are only a couple of days left to get your submissions in for rog rig reboot We're picking three winners two from north america one international to be flown to our studio to build a pc with me on camera You just got to submit a video showing us why you need a rig reboot Whether your system's unable to keep up with your workflow or you can't run demanding games or it's just absolutely cooked We need all the deets. Uh, this is a competition that rewards creativity and originality So make sure your video is unique and not like a past submission. Yes, we will know 30 to 59 seconds show us your current setup tell us why we should pick you and again be creative submissions are open until 4 45 p.m Pacific time sunday may the 25th and Dan is going to post the submission link in all of the various chats um Merch messages. Oh good lord. We haven't talked. Oh, we did talk about vo3. Okay. Good. Oh, yeah We should do a couple of merch messages Dan want to hit us with that Yeah, i'm sure thing. I've got a couple here DLL i'm a late joiner into the LTT cult about four to five years ago So this may have been asked before but what are your favorite colors? Is Linus is pink or orange? I Don't know if anybody has ever asked that before I have never had what are your colors merge message before a favorite colors? uh I don't know. Maybe like uh like a cool Like a cool bluey green It depends. There's certain things that I like some colors and there's certain things that I like other colors I'm painting my bike pink Well I'm trying to paint my bike pink attempting Yeah, historically. I was always red red and black These days I've been an enjoyer of browns and greens more really. Yeah brown is uh, Unusual favorite color Like uh, it's certainly like a decor trend. Yeah everything tan and brown But I don't know if any I don't know if even those people say yes My favorite color is tan and brown like I bought some uh some shorts recently that are brown Right, I think they look nice. Yeah, but brown like again people buy brown shorts because they look inoffensive I don't know if they buy brown shorts because I think minecraft block is a cool aesthetic Yeah, yeah, okay Slimming you know it's slimming You gotta wear the brown pants and a green shirt He's embrace it. Sure, Dan Hey, taiwan show. What's the best non AI tech you spotted at Computex this year? Uh ps Linus. Have you learned nothing from the last time you played with gold? Also, I'm charged shipping on gift cards now Hey, the last the last time I played with gold the controller appreciated a lot That ended up being a tremendous investment pun intended Get it. Yeah Nice I don't think I saw Anything on the show floor that said it was AI enabled that I was excited about At all one funny thing that I ran into though. Did you see the AI golf booth? No There was a big AI golf booth. I haven't talked to any I've talked to a bunch of people that saw it I haven't talked to a single person that saw it work Um, I saw them working on it for a pretty considerable amount of time We were standing there with sammy trying to wait to see if they're going to get it working And then they they claimed they got it working And they had someone go up to like test it and they they they took a really long time trying to get the golf ball On the tee they finally got it. They whiffed hard Took a really long time to set it up like they missed the screen They hit the the ball, but they missed the whole screen which is like Almost everywhere the ball could have gone They took a really long time setting it up on the tee again Hit it again whiffed the screen again And then the system stopped working again And we just left That kind of encapsulated a lot of the AI enabled this that at least I saw at the show But I was only on the show floor for one day. So maybe maybe you saw something I doubt it, but maybe Um Boy my my favorite thing is probably um, I'm gonna go with the boiling cooler I I like I like cool. I like cool cooling stuff. It was AI enabled. No, what that wasn't AI enabled was what they asked Oh Yeah So I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go with the boiling cooler. That looks sick. Nice. Um Hey Kind of related to AI Signal is blocking Windows recall microsoft's AI enabled constant logging of everything that you do on your computer Signal messenger is warning users that the privacy of their communications is being threatened by Windows recall Um microsoft's AI tool that will screenshot index and store pretty much everything a user does every few seconds They have updated signal for Windows to by default Block the ability of Windows to screenshot the app Signal's move reduces the possibility of recall indexing indexing private messages But doesn't eliminate it because Users can change the setting within the desktop app For example, if they want to make use of accessibility tools like screen readers Signal officials note that microsoft has made many adjustments to recall in response to critical feedback over the last year But recall still places any content displayed within privacy protected apps like signal at risk We've actually got a video coming up about recall. Uh, we kind of totally on purpose Have a laptop from back when recall was first announced that we did the like hacks ring to make it work even though it wasn't an AI enough laptop and uh, We left it disconnected completely from the internet as a time capsule of Windows recall when it was first launched and we take that Out of the mothballs and a brand new signal a signal excuse me Windows recall laptop and show the differences in behavior How they how they log how it's encrypted or not encrypted and interesting. It's a really cool video Yeah, that's cool that we totally on purpose definitely kept that laptop disconnected from the internet for a year Nice happy accidents. Happy accident. Yeah, no, we just like a lot of recipes are made We were originally planning to make a video about recall and then for soft bailed on the launch And so we were like, oh, okay. Well, we can't really make this video. So we just like they're not even releasing it Yeah, so it was like written. Yeah, but we just like put everything away and so it ended up working out So we'll we'll do the video now Our discussion question is is anyone excited about recall? No Really incredibly draconian it teams Cool, yeah, but they already have tools like that. So it's not even like microsoft's just reinventing the wheel From that perspective Well, maybe they could save money on their tools that they have that already do that because you're right Man full plane chat is hilarious any Any excuse to mention that you use firefox Every single full plane user uses firefox. I know that I know that I know that this is this is just fact It's like it's a law of The universe. Yep. Um, even the ones that use chrome This is super cool. They still use firefox coach a small french company sells a product called infinite battery Which allows users to swap individual cells inside in order to have them the battery last longer The company explains that most e-bike batteries are made up of collections of 18 650 cells Which are wired together in series in parallel and often an e-bikes battery will fail and stop working Even if only a small handful of these individual cells stop working The product is a fireproof casing and some documentation that allows users to swap in fresh Cells with only a screwdriver. It also has a built-in battery monitoring and other stats that can be seen through your phone And is currently compatible without with about 90 percent of existing e-bike brands This is super cool. That's awesome. Yeah, we did a video Man, this was years ago at this point where The title is this should be illegal battery repair blocking and uh It was when I discovered that not only will brands Not enable you to replace the cells in your battery pack But some of them will actively block you from doing it by detecting a change in voltage at the bms and then self-destructing If at any point that voltage goes outside of certain parameters and uh This was back when collin was working here. He told me that apparently some of them are so So bad that not only will they self-destruct if it like goes to zero But they will self-destruct if you charge them and it's like It suspiciously charges like too much more better. You must have changed the cells in here And they'll turn off Go to sleep forever That is brutal. I still believe everything that I said back then that should be illegal And I think that this e-bike company sounds super cool. Yeah, that's awesome There's some microsoft announcements from build 2025 Microsoft has made their Windows subsystem for Linux lsx open source with the code up on github now LSx allows Windows to natively run elf executables and implement Linux syscalls inside the Windows kernel Very cool microsoft is also adding model context protocol support Windows 11 for tighter integration with ai All right from an official statement the mcp platform on Windows will offer a standardized framework for ai agents to connect with native Windows apps Which can expose specific functionality to augment the skills and capabilities of those agents on Windows 11 pcs Okay, and finally microsoft has announced the newest web syndication standards nl web designed to make it easier for ai to crawl the internet and add tighter ai integration into web pages Cool And in other hooray news open ai buys one of joanie ive's companies io for six and a half billion dollars. Oh good I am happy they had that much money. I was reading an article about this acquisition that um highlighted products that uh the the x design chief at apple um was working on with his like love from or io company or like whatever whatever it is that he's doing sure and and one of i think two projects that they highlighted was That he's designing his company's headquarters And i was like Okay, like right, but isn't that just like Like a necessary thing that because people need a place to sit like what are you actually What do you actually do? I'm actually i'm a hundred percent not sure and maybe i'm missing something here But i i i haven't seen anything that love from or io have done that are worth six and a half billion dollars Like can we Can we contextualize this? at all um, like this must be this must be a game changer Like absolute game changer. Can you guys can you guys let me know like what love from or and or io Have done to be worth six and a half Bees apparently sam altman has been working with johnny i've already on some like i'm assuming ai enabled smart wearable necklace thing Uh, because apparently we didn't learn anything from the ai pin So maybe No one's giving me anything in here. Well, I don't think they've done anything So I think the the value is this stuff's done stuff. They've done like design work for companies. Yeah. Yeah, it's not like Oh, but I don't think they've released like a product. It's not like johnny. I just just been like sitting there Wouldn't be surprised. I mean no, I would I would he seems like he seems like a go-getter. He's a grinder. I just um What The 6.5 billion Yeah What what is your what to sorry what it's sorry sorry the 6.5 billion. What about the 6.5 billion? No, you said what no, no, no, don't worry about it. It doesn't matter. Okay. I must have misheard you. Okay, cool I I think I think it's the the whatever they've already been working together behind closed doors on a Device sure but for six and a half billion dollars. Oh, yeah Like how many units have said device could you possibly be hoping to sell? Such that you could amortize over that number of units the 6.5 billion dollar acquisition of your partner I really you know the um, you know the Analysis that happened when Elon like bought and sold his companies to each other Yeah, and people were like, oh, it's it's because he's like effectively moving money around So that he has more stock control of a higher percentage of whatever blah, blah, blah I really wonder how much of that is happening Unmass in the ai space as there's like all this funding going in and then companies are finding like Oh, everyone kind of hates it and there's a lot of free models And there isn't actually a ton of money in like developing LLM tech uh Let's just like Buy companies and do this other stuff to like move the money around I mean, I guess um Well, hey, congratulations Johnny um That's a lot more money than you would have made hanging around at apple so Yeah Good job Yeah sure Unless it's just moving money around I mean, I like really feel like it might be there's all these rumors about open ai and microsoft kind of breaking up and um I don't know the last thing that open ai did that was big in the news that wasn't drama Compared to other companies that are like Pushing big models and arguably more effective models and open ai's models Many of which are just open source which just like Largely removes the need for them to exist I don't know it's an interesting field for open ai right now, but Yeah, um Our discussion question, which I actually do want to discuss for a bit is let's say this isn't a necklace Let's just speculate, but it's not a necklace What wearable ai tech Can you think of that would actually be something you would consider buying? Because I have felt a little left behind By current hardware trends I don't want smart glasses At least not in their current form. How many people do well some people do. I mean met us selling some glasses Um, I don't use I actually don't even this is not a co-pilot enabled pc. I don't even have a co-pilot button I this one isn't here. Yes, it is. It's right there. Ah um Okay, so you're clearly in the same situation as me. Oh my god. It does do something when I press it. Well, I'll have to kill that I'll find a way. Yeah, it's not you It doesn't the point is I have used co-pilot enabled PCs and have only ever pressed the button by accident I I I don't never even pressed by accident. I don't use AI. You know, is there I blocked it out like you blocking out ads nice, um But but people are you like I don't I don't really use it as part of my workflow like occasionally Fire up, you know chat gpt or you know, whatever to like when I was brainstorming names first mash champs I I was like, oh, okay. Yeah, what would you call a badminton center? I ultimately went with something that was different from anything That's put out but like use it as a sounding board. Yeah, I used it as a sounding board But like I almost know I will never rely on it I shouldn't say will never I don't mean that future looking maybe someday I will rely on it But I I never really rely on the intention right now um And so I just feel like like all the new products that are coming out are like not for me. I like to write things myself um, I don't want to wear smart glasses and I'm just like can I just I don't know. Can I just have like ear pods? Oh, okay, like they could be headphones already. I love how effective apple's branding is man the fact that you called them ear pods is like Mind-blowing to me. I I go out of my way consciously to call these my earphones These days because it just it bothers me that my kids call any earphones air pods like it just bothers me Air pods are not A monopoly even though they basically are And uh, sorry. Sorry. It just bothers me the reason why I Do like calling them ear pods. I know they're the only ones that I hate all the other ones I mean you're wearing ones that seem to be staying in okay, uh, they like hurt because I had to jam them in Like my ears will be sore for the rest of the day. Oh, woe is me. Yeah I mean Uh, okay, sorry. I don't know why I said that But okay, if you look at like air pod fours, they got actually pretty significantly smaller. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah there So there is room to have some expansion to fit a little bit more tech in there Um, especially if it's just like reporting out to your phone or something Okay, so and then you could hear because they they have the ability to talk to lm's Okay, so so but then let's let's let's ask the usual question right And that is why would that need to be in my earphones? Why wouldn't it just be in my phone which is connected to my earphones? Yeah Okay, so Let's try again There's no wearable then though. That's the problem other than glasses like what the heck would a necklace do nothing Well, it could have a I Camera on it You laugh, but it's basically that stupid google thing. Yeah that google No camera that would take pictures with ai at like the right times or whatever Everyone's like completely forgotten about this. I bring it up every once in a while. It's so bad Uh, do you guys remember what that stupid thing was called chat? Um You're like Pretty hyper out of time. I can help you go pack up your room if you want Uh, sure Um, what else do we need to get through? We got a couple more. There's one more really important thing. Okay two brave souls our Clip says hold on hold on. Yeah, hold on google clip. I think that's it or wait was google google clip software Uh, I don't remember this at all. Clip on camera device designed by google Two and a half stars from the verge nice I think that might have been it Uh, anyways, hold on hold on you're gonna like this two brave souls are fighting to preserve the lost art of GPU boxes Oh Okay, check this out Look at this It's like uh, it's like a table book. Oh, that's cool. They went around look at what we had They were oh man. I knew you're gonna like this and painstakingly captured Cool GPU box art From back in the day and just made like a table book of it. Look how like this is a crazy card And how like normie and plain that looks yeah compared to all this stuff. Look at this This is so awesome. Dan. Are you getting this on screen at all? As your hopes up then Uh over cloths Yes, I can see it an archive of graphics card box art is a new book showcasing the most radical GPU box art from the bygone era of bombastic branding and is being being released by publisher lock books on may 31st Curated by mike mccabe and sam bailey it will feature over 300 retail boxes from the late 1990s through to the early 2010s Plus over 50 GPU print ads from the golden age of gaming magazines um That's all that's cool. I like it. There's a couple of messages. Sorry. We should get one for the office. I'd be down All right a couple left here. Hi dll recently upgraded pc after years. Why in 2025 does it seem like Windows? Is Windows unable to migrate apps and settings seamlessly? For example, iandroid iOS upgrades to Resetting up apps explorer pinned items is still so manual That's a good question. I mean, I I actually find the process pretty darn manual On iOS as well Windows really if you upgrade Windows Isn't it pretty seamless or do they mean moving the device a fresh install? That's what it sounds like to me yeah migration and and like I I guess for me I would say um There's a really really fine line between carrying forward settings that will be helpful to the user and carrying forward Prud that might have been like Bunging up your previous Windows install. I also want to stop install. Yeah So I just don't know. I don't know how you'd fix that without making a lot of other things worse. Yeah, and You might say okay. Yeah, but i'm the user I could decide what I prefer But a lot of users would probably use this convenient option and then have their system be Bunged and then blame microsoft for it. So I can see why a fresh install is a fresh install. I I get it Last one i've got for you today Linus have your badminton friends over there reacted to smash champs yet? Uh, yeah, yeah, I I had told them last year that it was coming. So uh pretty much everyone I showed them some of the pictures on like google maps and stuff like that and uh, they're they're mostly like What really? Oh, I'm like, yeah, yeah, I mean I told you I was doing this. They're like, yeah, but like it looks really good Thanks Appreciate that Yeah, it's been good. I got together with um Most of my like badminton crew uh this year. I played every day. I'm dying I think one of my toenails on my left foot is probably gonna fall off. Um My tennis elbow is back full force. No, but it's um I have like no grip strength right now from just like using it hard all week I I'm I think I lost uh about six pounds I've got little man doing five different things for his forearms. Oh really? Yeah Five different things. I mean at his age, there's probably a sixth, but that's the that's on his own. Yeah And I guess we'll see you again next week. Uh same bad time. Uh same bad channel. Bye You"}
