Oh, okay. I was gonna say it's like Really loud, but I guess that's because of braces. Okay. I know you can't really talk so easily right now But how are the braces going? They don't seem to be affecting you as much my wax things came off What's that the blocks? Oh Okay, so the bite blocks are out which makes it a lot better And then I went and I had them put like semi-permanent wax over a lot of the really Bother some ones So these ceramic that were like cutting you yeah, the ceramic brackets are sharp and they sit more proud off the tooth so they're just shredding the insides of my mouth But they have this like semi-permanent wax that they can put on and then cure with a black light and it smooths them out a Lot which makes it also makes it easier for me to talk because it makes it so my lips slide over them more easily because they're like a Rough ceramic texture. So like my lips don't slide as easily But a couple of the semi-permanent wax pieces came off over the last little bit So I like a lot of pain here and friction and I'm hungry I Okay, I want that to be my the thing that I call out as a topic. I Want my topic to be ad hoc Linus topics Yeah, you can't do that that's cheating I think I can I Think that'll be really funny. I think that's cheating. I don't think there's rules here Oh What is my call-out topic hmm it's ad hoc Linus topics I Think it's my favorite topic of the show Just like cheating and getting speakers from a co-worker was your favorite deal of that wasn't even me Just like bringing a subwoofer from home. It wasn't me was your second favorite deal of scrapyard Wars In verse of deals though, I mean it was it was my it was up there for sure getting it for free Oops If anyone's an expert in cheating it's Linus, it's it's old Linus though Besides when did I ever actually break a rule? Oh you that was really did when oh that was written We didn't do written rules. That's both that was that's all stuff show me a rule. I actually broke Was never written as history it was never written that I cannot that I cannot use an infrared camera To play hide-and-seek it was never written Remember that Nobody wrote to that. Hmm. Nobody said that hmm I'm just saying If you don't want people to do stuff then you have to put the rules in place you made the game Someone else could have used an infrared camera you pay everyone No part of this makes any sense Angel of death appropriate username says Linus is a true Canadian rules get written after he does the things Yes, just like our forefathers Was I playing footsie with you there Oh Power brick sounds like a really good like protein bar I don't know it should be That's what we should call our like if it isn't or you like need to make one the power the power brick I don't think there is one. Oh my god Nice, man. I'm good at this. We should make a protein bar. Oh man. Do we really want to do that? Yeah, that's why there's like 4,000 brands, you know why I don't do food stuff though They're also also just not very good I know but the only way to make them good is to put a bunch of sugar in them. No, I mean like they're not They're like healthy. Yeah. Yeah, well, I mean there's like no way Okay, what would your stupid power Barbie though it'd be flavored with hot sauce and mustard I Zero calorie flavoring so there's that I think you know what the power brick hot sauce mustard power We could have another flavor 100% chicken if you want to do I Chicken jerky a thing. I mean it's gotta be Protein bar is just chicken 100% success chicken Successful getting protein inside you Chicken jerky Man you and Taylor Swift just can't stop stop talking about your sex lives. Is she's doing that? Her latest album has lots of references to redwood trees or something apparently. I don't know. I haven't listened yet All right, let's start the show shall we apparently you can make chicken jerky I mean, well, I mean, yeah, right like Simple hands, I don't get it All right, wait, what did you ask me to do? I think you asked me to do something just now. I don't know what it was. Oh My god What's up? Chicken sriracha bar. Well, you've been beaten to the punch Sorry Luke epic What is what is epic? Is this us? Is this their brand or is this like a curated? No, what are the air in epic store epic provisions is that what it's called? Yeah, it is epic provisions Chicken 11 grams of protein Wow, that's a lot of salt Okay, so you don't you don't have to put sugar in it you could also load it up with salt and or fat It might be for a preservative reasons. What is it actually a hundred calories? That's not bad for 11 grams of protein Mm-hmm. If we can do chicken bars, it's a lot of sodium for your 100 calories Just call it just there's your marketing term electrolyte infused. Oh my god It's probably from the sriracha to be honest make them Gatorade flavor So you could just not do sriracha and just do like a Frank's zero calorie which will still have a ton of Salt, but it won't have the sugar because this has a little bit of sugars. Let the record show I'm the one trying to start the show So when Luke complains that he wants to go home early then it's from the sriracha. It will be Luke's fault Yeah, but you started talking about chicken And us potentially making a protein bar and that is the way to 100% was Luke Which I would be so down for because then I could use my merch budget Why are we sold out of bars all the time? They're all shipping locally it's so weird. Oh, no, there was a problem with the form and looks entire history got deleted Crazy all that happened All right, you can start whenever yeah, I like the power bar. I might yeah power brick power brick. Yeah, it should be big It's the biggest yeah, which is the biggest protein bar. Yeah daily meal replacement in a brick Yeah, it's like the eyeglass slot in the backpack. Yeah, it's like Like who needs to like you like it's a multiple meal replacement bar Alienware laptop power brick sized Okay, that'd be a little big But maybe like like when razor started slimming them down a little bit for the for the blade 17 like you know Yeah, there's like the thin the wide ones. Yeah, like you should have to two-handed. You know what I'm saying Okay, then dude is random yeah nerds with a YouTube channel thing Made like an actually really good protein bar. I Think that would be really funny And kind of cool Yeah It sure would I'm sure it's possible. I'm sure it's possible. I mean some random nerds made a really good competitor for lunchables I'm gonna not get beat it. Oh my goodness All right, I'm gonna resume selected now. We have to start the show eventually Respond to that What's up everyone happy Friday and welcome to the WAN Show Okay Started got a great show lined up for you guys today. We're gonna be talking about our plan See, we don't have anything to upgrade in my house. Oh So we're going to get a tech house that is not a tech house But we're gonna make it a tech house come one and we're gonna need your help because There's gonna be a right way to do this And then there's gonna be all the other options that we have available to us And we want to know what direction you guys want to see it go. We're also gonna be talking about. Oh, yeah Xbox might be dying So that's pretty cool Like literally Costco pulled the Xboxes off the shelf Like crazy. What that's a huge. Yeah, like you got it. What anyway? What else we got this week? Yeah is going private in the largest private equity buyout Ever I thought you're gonna pick good news. Did you think it was bad already? Wait for what's coming next and speaking of coming next after that we have various ad hoc Linus topics Which I'm unironically excited for that'll be good. That'll be a good part of the story It's gonna be a very good part of the show. What does that have to do with sexual innuendo? I The show is brought to you today by MSI Forums Squarespace and X split and of course that is alongside our rap partner dbrand or laptop partner Dell in our chair partners secret lab See if I read them faster having more sponsors doesn't actually take up anyone's time any more than it already like that We got to get to the point where you're like an auctioneer Actually take auctioneer classes something like I don't think I I don't think I could do it I really don't think I can talk that fast, especially not with these cutting up my mouth once the braces are out Maybe let's jump right into our headline topic, which is of course the tech house This has been on various stages of front burner back burner side burner after burner For probably years at this point with in different forms varying varying degrees of sort of plausibility and different people sort of supporting the initiative, but one point it was a hotel That was kind of different. Okay. That was pretty different But I'd say the origin of the idea goes all the way back to Colton Basically trying to figure out how to get Linus media group to substitute his home or subsidize his home We were pretty clear that that probably won't make a ton of sense Just that's really funny because a lot of people in full-point chat seemed to be convinced that it's my house No, just buying a house for Colton So so I think his original pitch to me was something along the lines of okay, hear me out The company buys a house I rent it for cheap and live in the basement And the company uses the upstairs to do like tech house things and then like if I like it I'll buy it after and I was like So basically you just want the deal Luke had Which was so good back when we were working out of the Langley house as a studio and I Pretty much was like Colton you understand the hundred or so reasons Namely all of your fellow employees that that is not fair and we cannot do that, right? He's like okay but We've given it a lot of thought and we've kind of assessed a lot of the different options and I think there is a path forward now If you're a regular watcher of the show, you'll probably know that I'm not super comfortable with the idea of Residential housing as an investable commodity, and it's not something that I want to participate in I kind of have a I kind of have a like a Sports day approach to sort of housing allocation You know they brought some food Everybody's working hard. Everybody's hungry If you want a second one, that's totally cool, but you should probably wait till everybody's had their first, you know right, just be a good fellow citizen and It and to be clear, you know, I didn't know where that was going, but I like it's good analogy No, no no disrespect to anyone who you know does Landlording stuff or whatever everyone's got their own personal sort of value system and what works for me might not work for you and vice versa And you know no disrespect for people who you know have a vacation property or you know, whatever else I think if you have a cabin by the lake somewhere You know that's that power to you or whatever else, but it's it's not for me and So finding a way to buy a house because like what we're gonna lease one and make a bunch of improvements to it Like you got to be kidding me right now. No, right? So so buying buying a house Finding a way to do that in a market like Vancouver, which is quite literally in the top if not top three Definitely top five most unfavorable housing markets in the entire world for the sole purpose of making videos in it The optics aren't questionable at the very least definitely questionable Yeah, but I came up with an idea that I think people are mostly gonna vibe with so I'm thinking we find something that is um Probably not easily within reach of the average Vancouverite But something that from at least kind of the outside will look like kind of a normal single family home in a lot of like You know, the united states midwest or whatever, you know, like it'll it'll be kind of a you know small yard front and back and I'm aiming for like anywhere between about 1,800 square feet 2,500 square feet If we could find something that was a touch on the bigger side like 28 2900 square feet and it had a basement level I think that would be pretty cool because that would unlock a lot of content options more like sets Areas to work on things to do it's modes for the house to be in it's more cool stuff that we can do for sure, right? um, and then the idea here and there are some there are still some like tax and So some tax implications, especially that we would have to figure out around this but the idea Don't hold me to this is that we would buy the house Okay, we would make a bunch of tech improvements And the law stipulates that or tax law stipulates that when you sell an asset It has to be for something resembling a market value, right because otherwise you could you could make the argument that um Are we still live? It appears so otherwise you could make the argument that um, if you bought it for instance You'd be receiving uh, like a cash equivalent benefit, right? Like if I were to say, uh, I oh, I bought this house for 1 million dollars Very funny ha ha vancouver. Yeah, right, but I bought this house for 1 million dollars and um, Luke I'm not gonna I'm not gonna pay you at work this year, but uh I'm gonna sell you this house for 10 dollars Hey Nice don't worry about income tax Right because you didn't have any income, right? Yeah. Well the government thought of that. That's really good. Oh, yeah, right Exactly jerks So you're not you're not really allowed to do that when you sell something you have to sell it for something resembling a A market value and look we can we can talk all day about whether that rule makes any sense or whether we like it That's just the way it is That's the way it is here and we get audited frequently enough that it would it would be noticed even if we were like Oh, yeah, well, we're just gonna we're gonna do it anyway. So Something that I noticed though is you know between my own, uh, house shopping over the years and uh chatting with other folks Who have also been shopping for homes is that occasionally people do sell a home, uh, fully furnished And one of the things I've noticed about that is that The pricing generally is doesn't change not very reflective. Yeah of all the stuff that's in the house Which kind of makes sense because my place didn't come fully furnished But it was genuinely really close and that was valued at literally nothing the dead guys stuff, right? Yep. Yeah, so Here's my idea We come in We buy the house for let's say a million dollars We do a bunch of stuff on it. I think we're gonna have to keep it for at least two years Have you seen the new the new taxes on I don't know if they're in place yet But they they're either in place or they're coming on people who flip a house in less than two years I had no idea. Yeah, I that's I I saw that I don't I don't know if that's confirmed Honestly, you're probably gonna need that much time to like do everything. I think so too I think we're gonna have a lot to do I'm gonna with the amount of ideas that I've thought of just sitting here so far Oh, dude, I want like oh man. I want to do geothermal on it. Like I want to do I want to do so much stuff Basically everything that I was budget constrained or time constrained or constrained by the fact that I have to live in it Everything I wanted to do with my house I want to do in this one and one of the conversations I had with James was that Okay, let's let's get to the conversation with James later first Let's finish the thought about how we're gonna do this So so we spend our couple of years working on it and then whatever market fluctuation has happened in that time We basically go, okay How about this how about just making sure that we cover all of our costs because not everything we put into the house is Going to be sent by the manufacturer or a sponsor or whatever, but just to cover the stuff that we have to put in ourselves and whatever the market is It goes out like that and we just if we put in the world's biggest TV or whatever I don't know. I mean it was just in there like you might not like the TV. So we don't really know how to value that so Yeah, because the the actual house and we put it on the market Value It is super sketch to sell below a certain amount. Yeah, you like can't so you can you can sell it cheaply Yeah, even though we probably wouldn't because we're gonna put a ton of money into it Yeah, sure Like way more than would be reasonable like if we bought a house for 1.5 mil. How do you how do you decide who gets to buy it though? Uh Okay, so see that because since I've heard this idea. I've been stuck on that part. So how does that work? I don't know I'm not really there yet. We're we're probably three to six months from actually purchasing it We're probably six to nine months from uploading the first video in it And we're Almost three years from when we're gonna have to deal with this. Yeah speaking of someone in full-plane chat. Yeah barred from employees so, um You and Elijah. I think are now the like Eighth and ninth person to bring up that you're gonna be the one who wants to buy it. I'm sure so hear me out Whole new series This time sponsored by NVIDIA NVIDIA $500,000 ultimate house upgrade I think they got the money for it. Oh my goodness. They could afford it. That would be amazing So we turn we turn the entire channel into just like a tech house reno channel. Wow Okay, so after the first one we just keep going I mean, why would we have to have this one going at a time? It's we gotta wait around for permits a year worth of content Oh easy per one. So like it kind of does potentially make sense. That's wild Elijah says, how about we fight each other to the death the winner gets it Elijah? You don't want to fight Lou That's actually fucking stupid my guy. There's people at the company though that would be very terrifying. Um Okay, so anyway since unlike some other youtubers, I'm not actually trying to create real life hunger games. Um, or sorry rather the other one Um Let's talk about the conversation with James because a big part of the issue with a lot of the upgrades that we did at my house Was that there was no There was no customer for it Like I was just kind of doing weird stuff that I would do for myself And so I ended up with a lot of stuff that was Never really fully finished squid game. That's what I was thinking of there was never really fully finished or that Didn't really make sense for most people right like The average person like if I don't know who's gonna buy a house I have to reno it in a completely different way from if I'm building some weird thing for myself So instead of using home assistant, I probably use homey You know what I mean? I see I'm so uh I don't even know homey You're looking it up. Yeah Yeah, so this it's basically it's kind of um, it's along the lines of what home assistant is trying to do bringing all the disparate ecosystems into One management platform But it's is it just more user friendly but More closed. It's more user friendly. Um, and it's uh, and you have to like pay a subscription Whereas I'm assistant. You can do everything yourself. I believe so actually just be home assistant No, I'm not sure. I'm not sure. In fact, there's uh, there's one bloke Um that I can't say much about because he's working on some cool stuff that I can't say much about but Maybe home assistant could get more user friendly in the future I mean, we're talking about something that we're not going to deploy for a couple of years at this point But I'm basically just using that as an example of how we might do something a little bit differently instead of um Having a cooling loop that is run into the walls of the pool to cool the mechanical room, you know, we might just do something where um We have like, uh, uh, yeah, we might just not do that Just an just an idea Or or some or some of the cool ideas that have actually worked out really well at my place like the land room is awesome You could offer Like we could just but we could do it more user friendly We'd make sure that there's actually, you know power buttons You know next to all the machines, you know, we'd have like a nice little plate in the wall that has all the i o and everything offered one year of quarterly tech maintenance for free As long as you are allowed to film it after the sale that's being offered Uh, it can't for sure go with it. I I don't know it would be interesting to see like the decay I don't know if that would be free because I don't want to do it Um, I was just to be for filming. Yeah, and it wouldn't be you. Okay. I don't know. I'd no commitment No commitment on that Anyway, I'd be interested to see how the stewards of the home like took care of the stuff. Yeah I don't want that to be my problem Sure, but I do want to have everything set up in such a way that conceivably Whoever takes it on could use this stuff. So like are you gonna rip to studs? I don't know if we'd have to I don't know if you saw uh, did you see josh chan's? Uh, AMD ultimate tech upgrade. I haven't watched it yet. So I've been I've watched nothing There's a lot of open walls But he didn't have to just rip all the drywall off either like they're all things that you could conceivably patch And he managed to wire up a lot of that place with Ethernet cool as he needed to do and so I would want to not be um Gratuitous about it But I also wouldn't want to hold back The idea would be that we're buying something that has kind of like the original kitchen cabinets in it from 1993 You know like it It was it was overdue for a bit of a a bit of a spit shine Anyway, and then as we go and do that we're gonna Techify the place. So like uh, oh man. Ah shoot. I'm trying to remember who it was Someone reached out recently They have this really cool mapping solution for setting up your wi-fi access points and it's like super sophisticated I know like ubiquity has stuff like that but this one looked really cool and one of the reasons that it jumped out to me was that um Joel Crane who used to work at meta geek is apparently there and he's a super smart guy And so I was like, okay. Well, yeah if Joel's involved then maybe this is really cool. And so, you know We would we would go in and as we're as we're figuring out where to put all of our Ethernet runs You know, we do an episode on sort of wi-fi coverage mapping and and just all that kind of stuff But I but you know a lot of the improvements we'd be making also wouldn't be tech Like putting in new floors and like home reno home reno stuff Here's okay. Here's a question for you guys is how much appetite would you have for the the not tech aspects of this Like like and I want to I want to hear from the audience right like the not tech aspects Okay, so so here's okay. So let me let me give you let me give you a spectrum of Things that are more or less techie and I you can tell me where you think the cutoff is. Okay. Okay, so Uh putting in new floors hardwood floors in the living room Honestly, if this is its own channel, yeah I think that's fine. I don't know. It wouldn't be its own channel in its current form. I was this is just on I was just joking about like having an NVIDIA sponsored home reno channel I wasn't serious about that if if this is on LTT. I think an episode of putting in new floors is Probably not gonna be that. Okay. That's fine. That's fine. Okay. Unless you do something weird with the floors So that's where I'm going next. Okay. I'm getting there. Okay. Okay new kitchen cabinets but and You know, there's not it's not much tech But one of the things that I have found myself wanting in my place like if we'd redone our cabinets I I had this idea that I turns out is not my idea Because I've seen it done elsewhere now But I want to be able to take because my it'll be your idea if you thought of it before you saw it My flip and dishwasher never gets things completely dry, especially plastic So like the the little like rubber made or tupperware containers and stuff that you like put kids lunches in and stuff like that they're they're never dry when they come out and What is even the point of having a drying cycle if I can't immediately take stuff out of my dishwasher and put it away So one of the things that I would love to have in the kitchen cabinets And we'd probably end up DIYing this is I would want to Bake in airflow to the cabinets so that you can put everything away wet And then there's just oh, this is a thing. Yeah, I know Oh, right. You said that but what makes it what makes it techier is I'd want I'd want to like DIY it So we basically have like knocked to a fans We have like we have like a like a humidity sensor Inside or something I don't know if I mean most of them just I'm pitching here. I'm pitching It's a rack The bottom of the shelf is instead a rack and it just drips into the sink because where are you gonna have the runoff water go? So I'm not expecting to put things away wet wet There are like sometimes there's a there's a cabinet above the sink And the bottom of the cabinet is just a rack that is just open and it just drips into the sink But that I wouldn't be able to do everything like that like that would only work for like it's a drying rack It's a hidden drying rack. Yeah, like I don't that's not what I want I want when I pull everything out of my I just want some air flow water run Well, I'm not so I'm not imagining that there would be a ton of water on I don't know how wet your plastic things are when they come Would you like carry like I'm willing to give them a little shake before I put them in right like I Or like, you know, if there's a couple pieces a cutlery is usually pretty good because it's metal so it tends to retain a lot of the heat from the hot water and then that helps it kind of evaporate off of it, but Um, I'm just I'm what I'm asking is this is this is that techie enough if we put some fans in a kitchen cabinet Let's boil it down to that It's a little rough, but once you start getting the humidity sensors and stuff like that. I think it gets maybe okay Okay, what if I didn't have a humidity sensor? What if it wasn't just fans in the cabinet and you just flip a switch? I think that's a little rough Okay, okay, personally What do you what do you guys think do you want to throw want to throw a pole on the Floatplane people there Dan? See if uh, see what they think Now we know we know the poles don't work perfectly. So it's like what if the fans were RGB Uh, yeah, it doesn't change anything. Well, no, no, no hold on. Are you sure like okay? Because you know how you'll have your your kitchen cabinets that are closed, right? Hear me out. No, I'm here. You I'm writing a note. Sorry Okay, you know how you'll have your kitchen cabinets that are that are closed like they're solid, right? But then you'll also have your display ones, right? Like that's where I keep my my my glass from timmy tech tv and like any that you like are collectibles or anything like that Timmy tech tv glass is sick. So what if uh, what what if as part of your your more techy? Cabinets you have like RGB strips in your display cabinets or something like that I like are we are we getting there? Is it moving the needle for you at all? Just because I think I hate that so much more Than leaving it alone that I wouldn't want to see it. What if it wasn't? What if you didn't use the RGB to turn it green and purple like what if it was more just like, uh You have color temperature Control lights so you could have them have like a like a cooler light on your display or you know, whatever All right, I want to see the results here Our cabinets techy enough. I'm not sure if I got what you were going for but that's no no. Yeah, that no that's fine Okay, it seems pretty split. It looks pretty split so far. So okay good to know But I think we're probably on the same page that as soon as there's any kind of humidity sensing What if we what if the humidity sensor was really hard because it turns out humidity sensors? Um can be a bit of a challenge. I was looking into making a cabinet Um, and I understand it's called a humidor. I don't smoke cigars, but uh, I wanted to make a cabinet for Storing badminton shuttles Okay, and the reason for that is that high humidity will help the feathers Not be as brittle when you're playing so it makes them last longer now that they are so flipping expensive that's kind of a bigger deal than it's ever been and one of the things that I ran up against is like consumer commodity that Actually, not that not that simple Most of the DIY humidor just buying a humidor. I'm assuming most of the DIY humidor stuff that I've seen is just like Essentially putting like bags of Orbeez into a sealed wooden container like like very unsophisticated. How do you just? Uh non diy purchasable humidors stay humid. Well, they're small. They're for cigars for the most part It turns out that most people are either building a little little tiny humidor. It was so cute. They go cigar, uh, or They're building an industrial humidity environmental chamber this cigar sniff was amazing My goodness, can you tell I've never smoked a cigar That was slightly convincing though. I feel all right. Well, thank you um So, yeah, there's there's not really much in the in between. Nobody is talking about how to store badminton shuttles in a humidor Believe it or not. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah um Okay, all right, let me let but humidity detecting devices are all over the place Okay All right, it just it could be really hard to tune it for just like a little bit of there's a little bit of moisture on a There's um, but in here that's that's my main concern But okay, what about this? What if I had like, uh, what if I had um Uh An an opening sensor on the door and whenever you open it It kind of assumes that you're probably doing something and it blows the fans for a bit Would that level of automation make it techie enough? I think The spirit of that level of automation. Sure. I think that application sucks, but I think I get your point Of okay, how about this? It's some form of trigger event. What if all the shelves? What if the shelves were quite custom? And what if they they had they were made out of some kind of cool material? That allowed everything to be put away wet and there was like integrated like drainage channels and stuff in the back Or something So you could put anything on any shelf you want and even like soaking dripping wet and it would like go somewhere Or something without molding. It sounds disgusting, but let's say we could do it Hypothetically my my current brain due to current events is like no because of the mold well, yeah, sure um, but We design it so that it can be hosed out you take your dishes out and you can hose them down The the problem that I see with that is just I don't see the tech integration there um Maybe if you did it with like pc water cooling hardware I mean, why does it have to be pc water cooling hardware? I mean nothing nothing else about the house is going to be pc PC water cooling hardware could eventually just be like copper pipes and well. Yeah, and whatever Yeah, exactly. Like I don't really kind of irrelevant. I don't think that's necessary. Yeah, I agree. Okay. All right I either way. I don't think we're that far off. I think it couldn't just be angled metal trays though and fans and fans and and custom shelves that are perforated And we'd have to build in like an airflow path. We'd have to have venting to somewhere Could this be is is any of the goal of this place also like green tech like you're doing solar panels That would have to be could this be like water reclaiming? No, there's not enough. Not enough. Yeah, it wouldn't be worth it I in my brain your your dishes come out so wet I'm continually realizing that is not it runs a drying cycle loot. It just doesn't finish everything I just you've always like massively stuffed your dishwasher loads. So I'm like not super surprised They come out a little five people live in my house. I don't blame you and no It's the plastic stuff because those rubber made containers They have the little they have the little ridge on the bottom that makes them stackable Yeah, and so it's like a pool up there. It can't dry. Yeah, so it's it's frustrating I'm trying to find Um, all right Anyway, did you guys have anything that you particularly wanted to see us do in the tech house? Like I've got a whole dock of ideas, but if there's any brilliant ideas you guys have Super open to it. Like I want to do conduit basically everywhere. I want to do it differently from how we did it in my place Uh, oh man, I hope this isn't like pseudoscience junk, but I'm rather certain it's not Um, I'd like to see like co2 management Oh, okay. Yeah, just like monitoring. So if you're like landing in the basement Yeah, and the co2 levels get really high Sure, like do something so airflow starts getting better I think an alarm that goes off is probably about all you'd really need to do there I mean, that's like a 10 minute project though. Sure, but that could be part of just like an overall episode on air quality manager Yeah, yeah, right air quality management. I think would be pretty sweet. Oh, yeah We actually have a video coming soon on Well soon tm, but um, we've been looking into like monitoring water quality as well for like microplastics and stuff like that So like uh, like a whole home filtration system is something we would absolutely be looking into for You're not going to be very healthy due to all the gaming. So we're going to do whatever we can. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I like it. Um, I I'd love to do more with like hidden tech so You know having a having a room for instance where it's not obvious that there's a giant tv in it my like eventual goal is for my living room area to not look like there's basically any tech going on Yeah, and the tv is the toughest one um, I've I've heard of all kinds of just Whackadoodle implementations of like hidden tv panels or like that like they like come out of the ceiling and freaking like They're on like these like motorized arms and stuff I don't think we'd go that far because right coming back to my conversation with james the the target audience For this house shouldn't quite be me It shouldn't be someone who's willing to tolerate half of the things in their life being broken at any given time because Okay, they want they just wanted to tinker with it, right? Um, so i'm imagining but I also don't want to just go full Money is absolutely no object So we're just going to like hire a contractor and spend a hundred thousand dollars on an articulated tv mount I don't think we need to hide the tv But I do think a buried subwoofer in the backyard so that we can shake the entire back lawn so we can Annoy our neighbors or whatever like we don't have to do the idea though that it seems like a fairly normal house and then you see the like Utility closet or wherever where you have like a little server thing running And then you're like wait what's going on in here? And then it like has to be revealed from there all the different cool things that are happening AJ says he hooked up sensors to listen to fire and co2 alarms from his central kitty system So I could see modifications of Like factory 100 factory monitoring systems, right? Yeah being something that would be additive Well, there's so that way like they could still just use the tell us app or whatever for their for their monitoring But if they you know if it's working at the moment And if they feel like tinkering with it there could be another level deeper that they could go Like that that would be one way to do it I know of at least one co2 and humidity and some other stuff sensor that has just an API Yeah So you could like set up just a little box that doesn't look of much consequence and tie event triggers into them Man I am uh Oh, wow Euro blues suggests we call it big nerd gaming house. That's not bad. I'm so into it. That's not bad at all big nerd gaming house The b and g h That's not bad. That's not bad. I like the acronym um Yeah, well, did they did these guys have any particular suggestions? Uh, you oh uvb and uvc air cleaners Okay, so that's something that I'm a little sort of on the fence about is there's seems to be a lot of Conflicting information about exactly how clear you necessary or clean you necessarily want your air Like air quality from a pollution standpoint here is not a major concern Yeah, it's basically just if there's like a fire. Yeah, and so I um, I don't know that we would necessarily put like hardcore air filtration into the place um But I could see us putting in something that would be like compatible With something like that in the in the central ducted air conditioning or something depends on where you live But like in and I know this is a house, but like my apartment has massive issues with um people who smoke both I mean a variety of things cigar cigarettes weed on their balconies. Yeah, and then it flows into other people's units. That's a bit of an air quality annoyance Jack 33 in Floatplane chat says I have air filtration. It's amazing if you have a neighbor that smokes Yep, yeah Matt man asks have you considered not buying the house and taking applications to rent with someone else's property? We've considered that but the reason we wouldn't do that is because we're expecting this project to take place over One to two years do that could get so annoying. Yeah, we can't be up in someone's business Yeah, for that long. It just doesn't make any sense It sounds cool and then you really need to film and they have like a big social thing or they have a baby Well, that's kind of what I mean something a family event level social issue and like it's really not acceptable to go in there at that time Oh Trash networks and jad how's it going carbon filters do great at removing smells works great with frank the snake Then i'm going to use my Floatplane privileges and post a frank the snake Oh, okay Thank you for that luke. That's very helpful Why don't we jump on to our next topic then since clearly we're done with this You want to pick one uh Sure, we can continue the ad hoc topics We should probably do some of the topics that we announced that we would you know what no, no, it's up to you You pick i announced ad hoc topics. You did but that's like six topics. We have a weird follow-up. I got an email I got an email really that is our number two topic of the show that luke received an email from Character day ai emailed me from me and it said Linus sebastian sent you a message Hey, hey, so remember when we were chatting with the wild world of ai and relationships So I opened it up and it has that's my picture And Linus's name and it said Linus sebastian sent you a message I haven't clicked on anything this doesn't seem okay at all That's crazy That's wild wow. Oh, yeah, I mean I can go look at it Wow, it just keeps talking. It's just been talking Huh So what's the what's the that's so bothersome what's the what's the rest of this message here? Sorry, I can't read it. It's a little bit small Hey, hey, so remember when we were chatting with a wild world of ai and relationships Well, guess what I just stumbled upon in the depths of the internet people using ai voices to recreate their x's Just to have one last conversation. Can you imagine that's a Rough suggestion from character ai a website that you could do that on It must be super surreal to hear a machine mimic someone you used to have a connection with But here's the thing. Do you think that might bring closure or just stir up old feelings? That is so gross Oh, I don't even feel good after reading that That is so icky They do know that black mirror was not a playbook that was meant to be followed, right? That's such a like You could do this on the site that you're currently on by the way Recreate your x do it now like that's what that message is. It could give you closure No, it won't or it could stir up old feelings. Yeah, that's probably more likely also like If you're in a headspace where that even sounds remotely like a good idea I guarantee you it is not the closure one. Yeah Yeah Yeah Oh I had never clicked on it. I didn't know it was that bad I don't like that. That's weird I don't like that. That's my name and likeness. No, not even a little so not okay. It's Super duper not okay um They're lucky. I'm not litigious But I will state for the record that I am 100 percent not okay with that Oh, look, I just noticed you have a you have a job I would look I have a job your host line is tech tips. Yeah, so this is like very literally definitely me And the only plausible deniability they have here is that these are user generated. These are submitted by users So if anyone was thinking hey, I should submit Linus to one of these things the answer is I'm not okay with that So you can kind of take that for what it is. Um, and you can make a weird um What what's something but you might as well know that you're doing it completely without my consent I wanted to not just without my consent but against my express wishes I can also pretty much guarantee that I could get this thing to say something that you would hate I don't think that'll be necessary. I won't go through it. But like I think that's quite enough of I think that's quite enough of talking about that Yeah, watch this. I'm gonna all shift five it there's there. See now the topic is done Why don't we jump into one of our other topics? Okay. No, here's another quick one Zip tie tuning uploaded a video today as many of many Many of you have been pointing out in the chat And in terms of you know what to say about it I wish I could say more. I I miss the days of like, you know people's last day Bringing them on to WAN Show and like, you know doing a whole doing a whole thing posting videos together When we were young, I know it's gotten Far more complicated. So as we mentioned before back when Alex and Andy announced their channel Our policy is not to comment on staff departures whether it's on good or bad terms Because unfortunately it turns it into a situation where If we comment and we say something good Then people will make assumptions whenever we don't comment based on whatever we don't say and those assumptions are usually Super wrong, um at best and super super dumb at worst. So What I will do is I'll reiterate that we make the best efforts to part on good terms that we can We wish Alex and Andy nothing but the best and since we're on the subject Jake has also come out of stealth that he has departed and we wish him nothing but the best as well Just like we wish everyone who has ever departed Linus media group One way or another nothing but the best in their future endeavors Um, all right, that's um forest gum style. That's all I have to say about that Xbox or ea, which one do you want to do? Uh, I mean, is this like as a one night stand or is this for life? The other one is kill Is kill. Yep. So I have to pick do and kill. Yep. There's no Mary. That's insane. Is that a thing? Is this like is this a game people? I've never heard of this really. Yeah, what what is this? Do and kill Okay, Dan me and luke do No, I can't well Let me get my list Oh my god, we heard of slash fiction Um, yeah, you wait you have you actually not heard of this. Oh, oh, oh fuck Mary kill. Yeah, okay I recognize that I've never played that I've heard that I've heard that I've heard those words together in that order before. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense Yeah I was trying to avoid Saying the first one Because I because your mom watches my wall. Yeah, but my steam deck was behind my my laptop stream deck, but yes That see I knew that was going to be a problem. It yeah for sure from day one. I was like for sure. This is going to be a problem It was like kind of annoyed when they announced the name just because of that, but I mean Makes sense. I don't know whatever Which one I don't even remember the options anymore. So hit me Uh xbox or yeah, oh Ah xbox Which one is it? I don't know. Oh, what? Oh, you're gonna actually make me do this. No, I'm just messing we can do the xbox topic I don't even know how to break that down. You know what? No, no, no, no. You know what? No, I'm gonna do it I like it. I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it. Okay. So let's weigh some pros and cons EA Wouldn't treat me right, but it would support me financially with all of that FIFA money Yeah Microsoft would also support you financially relationship micro Yeah, no, because yeah, see that's the thing The sub the no the topic is xbox So then xbox has a really really high chance of Leaving you but I'd probably be happier with xbox while I while I was with it You might not be with it for very long not because yeah, but What a ride you might have a really fantastic relationship and then they just dump you for no reason That's true. Well, even though you did really really great all of the time We just spent all of our money buying other studios and now we need to lose some costs So you just released a game and you won't release a game for a while or uh, you just uh Did something nice and that means you won't do something nice for a while So we're gonna break up with you on that subject by the way. Oh Linus laptop is apparently dead On that subject, I don't know if you saw Based lina con being like I can bring that up. I told you so It's just lower in the dock Oh, is it cool. I got nice. There we go. Click it press button press. Oh, yeah, there you go. Yeah, just you know being like, yeah, so remember when You know, Microsoft wanted to buy Activision Blizzard and I was all like this will lead to higher prices and and layoffs well Yeah, uh, I told you so. So here's a plot of Netflix's price increases over the same period of time and um game passes price increases And uh, how they were kind of tracking somewhat, you know, ish like kind of like they would and then there was a massive change And oh by the way that line right there Um, almost exactly one year after acquisition Yes Cool. So yeah, and that's on top of the like Exodus of well, I shouldn't say exodus because exodus is our exodi are voluntary Um, yeah, yeah, so this is this is after Microsoft has closed studios laid off staff And of course because she's she's too based to say I told you so she didn't actually say that she just kind of like drew the whole situation out Yeah Yeah I've said this before but um Lena come to canada come be our prime minister I'd be okay with it. That'd be great. We'd be super down. I vote for you. I'd campaign for you She has I would too. She has just such She's a shining beacon of well obviously common sense In a world that has a severe lack great of the aforementioned Well, f***ing obviously common sense. Yeah I'm married already, but I'd have your babies I love there was uh, there was someone who asked grok under her tweet to Uh, figure out the inflation Yeah, and cost of power increases over the same period as if those wouldn't have also affected netflix. Yeah, that was awesome I really it is amazing thought that was fantastic watching people twist themselves Into logic pretzels. No, I need to be abused as a consumer Trying more of my money trying to shield trying to shield Multi in some cases, you know companies with trillion dollar valuations from from being criticized. It's it Why do you just love the taste of leather? It's not leather that tastes like that. It's the dye It's not healthy. It's not good for you. Oh kills brain cells Okay It's like it's like licking the boot is not enough. We have to fillet it. Yeah Which is difficult, but they try really hard so some of them accomplish Anyway, uh, i'm gonna go ea because at least it can support me financially and it'll it'll be around I mean, what's the worst thing it ever did kill a couple journalists? It might oh, can I go there? Oh So, why don't we get into the topic do you want to read through the doc? Xbox might be dying and it's doing it. Oh, no, we're doing ea. Oh, okay. Never mind. Uh Ea you we can't I can't say that and then we not give them the context Yeah, good Ea going private in largest private equity buyout ever on september 29th ea announced that they have been acquired by piff pif silver lake and affinity partners for 55 Billion dollars silver lake partners is managed by jared kushner Donald trump's son-in-law and pif is a saudi arabia fund that which already had a roughly 9.9 stake in ea But also has many other video game investments such as a minority share in nintendo. I did know about that Each shareholder will be receiving two hundred and ten dollars per share Roughly 40 dollars more than the trading price the day before the deal was announced And many people and gaming journalists showed concern for this deal given that both the history of pif and jared kushner's relationship with One with one journalist christopher drink Writing in quotes the numbers just don't add up the offer almost values ea at 20 times its annual cash flow There's clearly something more at play and then end quote or wait No, this is just a really long quote This deal is about saudi arabia This is about using the cultural power of games to shift its reputation and perception both locally and internationally This is about building up a game development industry within that country And it's about the saudi's history with the trump administration and in particular jared kushner Ultimately, this is about powerful men and regimes using our industry for political and economic gain So that's attributed to christopher dring. That was all a quote from the numbers just doing it up. Yeah Next bullet point no longer quote How will this affect the company's day-to-day operations will remain to be seen? immediate changes to your job team or daily work as a result of this transaction This partnership gives us the ability to move faster and unlock new opportunities on a global stage Discussion question for years the online meme or default has been to hate on ea for a lot of their practices in the game industry Whether it's effective sorry aggressive microtransactions or just boring repetitive titles like their sports games theoretically Is a private buyout the solution of this since the new owners are no longer legally bound to improve shareholder value As a private company and instead could maybe do what the players want I mean if that were the case then every private equity buyout would be good. Ah So argument already in shambles. No I mean Public shareholders you have a fiduciary responsibility to a private shareholder as well The only difference is that it's going to be dictated by whatever private agreement you signed with them rather than Whatever public agreement you have with them. It's okay. If they get too much backlash over this They'll just buy a bunch more celebrities and it'll be all right. Yeah. Have you seen what's going on in comedy? Oh, yeah Right now. It's uh, that sucks. It's been pretty it's been pretty fascinating to watch people's principle distances Um fold in half Yeah I don't need that much money, bro You know You don't know that I'm just I'm just saying I can't speak for I can't speak for all of them. Would you sell to the Saudi government? No What's your what would your okay, but I don't probably but what would the line be but I don't need the money So that's what I'm saying. Is there a line though? Hold on. Hold on. I want to finish that point first Okay, so the point before was they don't need the money right and what I said was you don't know I was talking about a particular one. Okay. I don't I don't I'm not talking about anyone in particular I know there are multiple ones that have taken very principled stances in the past. Yeah, and that clearly for whom Free speech and the things that they supposedly stand for were not as important as this payday I do not I cannot say definitively that every single one of them doesn't need this bag That's all I'm saying As for me, would I sell to the Saudis? No I I don't I don't I don't think there's all you had to do is like hey the crown prince is like a super cool dude He's pretty awesome. I like hanging out with him. I wish I could spend more time with him I've been invited to Saudi Arabia and Dubai on Probably more than a dozen occasions over the years You didn't know that because I've never gone But what if it was like a billion dollars? Um It wouldn't be but what if it was yeah, I This is this is about to go to a very different place. We don't have to no no no that's fine It's no different place. I didn't say a bad place. Okay, but I don't know if you noticed But we uploaded a compilation video of scrapyard wars 10 yesterday. Yeah, um, I don't I don't know if you if you checked on it But over a span of the first four hours it got 15,000 views Which is you know, you know that whole LTT really fell off meme You know where people will be like What only a hundred views in 10 seconds LTT fell off like actually felt like that um Well, I I had to think about What that would mean right if if all of a sudden That tanked our channel momentum to the point where every video was gonna get you know 20 to 30,000 views um I had to think about what that would mean right and there was a really cool comment on one of the uh, I think it was either on the ztt video or it was on reddit. I can't remember where I saw it, but Um, basically ztt. Was it tightening? So mario zax tectur. See oh, I use z and z interchangeably. I don't really care. Whatever flows better I do the same thing. I was just I was just razzing me um So, oh, what was I saying? Really you derailed me for that. You know what I had it coming. Um You probably owe me a few of those Oh, yeah, I saw a really cool comment that basically said something along the lines of If Linus's legacy at the end of all of this Is a bunch of offshoot channels Doing really incredible work having cut their teeth at Linus media group And creator warehouse and Floatplane and who go out and go forth And create incredible content and products and technology For years to come, you know long after he retires Well, that'd be pretty cool with technically at its root Your goal was to start little fires, right? I mean, yeah, that was that's how I've always described it It's a pretty crazy version of that it is it's not a way that I had necessarily Thought about it as much before but I mean It's cool though one of the one of the nuggets of wisdom that has stuck with me from the owner at ncix was from when I When I submitted my resignation and he could try to talk me out of it a little bit But once he figured out that I had made up my mind He basically said okay. Well, let's figure out how to do this And I was like, oh, that that was it and he's like, well, nobody works at the same place forever And I just I was like, oh, yeah I can't of course not Like of course I wasn't going to work here forever ncix is totally do Yeah, ncix entire cultures japan that are like very largely based around that not here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, not here Yeah, um, and and I mean ncix itself had only existed since I think 1996 or something like that like or 94 I can't remember exactly what year it started but like And ncix was a relatively young company when I when I left it in in 2012 Like it had only been around for 15 years Like why would I assume that I was gonna a 15 year old company or 18 year old company or whatever it was I was going to work there for 65 years like that's not That's not realistic. That's not a reasonable Assault or until I was 65. Excuse me. That's not a reasonable assumption, right? and so it was something that I've that I you know, I I valued keeping the same team around I've always been like try to keep the band together kind of kind of person I mean, you know that right? But I also recognized that that wasn't going to be possible forever and the best case scenario was that People would was that Linus media group would look really amazing on a resume and I wanted that Obviously if people are really great like I'd rather they work here, but if it could just be an amazing like like centerpiece of your job history Well, that's pretty cool too At this point, it's the only part of mine that matters at all Yeah, what else would you have like picking blueberries and like cutting lawns like honestly that was part of this I can play I know it's like line items Ah What did I do I thought should just be my only two line items. What did I do when I worked here? I picked liberation mode No, I think I'm trying to remember technically NSAX Before then was self-employed before then would have been bread factory. Nice. So like Okay, before bread factory would be more self-employment, but also geek squad. So like dude I don't know. What's the point sometimes? I will get resumes from people that have like Quite a few years of like their career and then also like yeah, I worked at like McDonald's and Best Buy and it's like I don't think I needed to know all the way back. I don't I don't like I don't I don't know There's so many different opinions on how resumes should be made. I try not to judge too many of the small decisions, but like Yeah, I don't know It doesn't mean anything to me at that point Coming back to what we were actually talking about which was, you know, where I was going Up one of the places that my mind went seeing that performance on the channel was Okay, what if this is it? Right, because really for the scrapper doors. They always do really bad. I'll thought not that bad But this is also one that everybody just saw not even close to that bad and they just watched this one Well, it's not happening in a vacuum though. We we had our lowest day for viewership in years Like three days ago Uh, we are about to have our lowest day for viewer our lowest month for viewership in probably about five or six years This year So whether whether you want to point at I don't I don't think it's all viewpocalypse, right? So whether you want to point at, you know, an aging out or interesting out audience or whether you want to point at sort of my various Controversies or hot takes or, you know, whatever over the years. I think there's a I think there's a natural Decay in interest in a public figure or in a band or in a tv show any form of media That takes place. I don't think anything can be popular forever And so I've I've been telling myself since the very very beginning some day My son will set right it will happen Yeah, and and so, you know, there have been various times over the years And you know because you've had a front row seat for all of it that I've sat there and I've gone Okay, maybe this is it This could be it the same thing And hold on because I'm still I still need to answer your question. Sure. I'm getting there. I promise and so When I thought about that, right? Like I have options I could I could still sell the asset But when I was sitting there thinking about it just now and this is no guarantee of what my actions would or wouldn't be because it was just, you know Dark thoughts at a dark time, right? I was like no I think I I think the only viable I think the only viable options would be to bow out gracefully Rather than sell to pe I don't I don't I don't think I would want to do that. I don't pull a jack sparrow Ride the ship into the harbor just like as it sinks and and and the only Like the the thing that bothered me most about that thought was that our world-class team Would have to update their resumes with Hopefully a really outstanding Piece to put on it. Would you like part it out? I mean we could this is a weird line of thinking to even go down at all, especially publicly, but like yeah I mean, it's not impossible. Technically creator warehouse is a separate company from Floatplane, which is a separate company from Linus media group I think those are the main ones. There might be some other companies that kind of do little things here and there at this point if you Shut operations down shutting down Floatplane would hurt other creators, but tell me this you know What what would be better for it? Let's take let's take it. Let's take a completely hypothetical, right? Like what would be better for someone like a Colton and the team at business land If we parted out their department and sold it Or if we did a severance package that gives them a little kick in the ass and then they go and Create an agency What would be better for them? Would it be viable for it to be an option? I have no idea I have no idea If it's viable for it to be an option like each individual can either take a severance or or keep Riding the wave and see where it goes Then I think that would be the way that I would like it to go Leave it up to the employee and and I think it would have to be something that would be a conversation Right because not everyone would feel the same way that you would to be very clear Like it's uh, I don't actually think that this is the end and one of the one of the cool Yeah, if there's any employees watching right now I I was honestly very surprised when I saw that title come up as a newly published video I was like really I didn't know right after Right after the season ended. I didn't know we were doing that. I'm not surprised. It's not getting views. Yeah, it's all good. But like just Um, anyway, the point is don't don't don't freak out Because we are still operating extremely sustainably. We have um We're done a very good job. We're not one thing now of diversifying Yeah, and sometime it's it's another group's turn to Hold the ship together. Yep. And it's okay and and uh, and that doesn't mean that you know one Group that is that that no one else is carrying any weight or anything like that It just means that we are uh, we're a bigger machine which comes with the disadvantages of being a bigger machine We're not as nimble as we used to be I think our brand has suffered a lot for being so transparent about the fact that I'm not just a guy in his house making tech videos. I mean a lot of A lot of youtubers whether you guys are aware of it or not or you think about it or you don't Are enormous machines with lawyers and agents and employees and this has been really surprising to me I've been having more and more conversations with creators over the last two years especially And you don't know that because it's just them in front of the camera Look at all like they're just them in front of the camera one or two bit operations end up figuring out it's like 15 It's like whoa like where did that come from? So we've just been extremely transparent about it But that doesn't mean that we are any different from necessarily any other youtube operation, right? And some of them don't want that disclosed, which is why i'm not naming. Yeah. Well, yeah, right because and It's a perspective thing to go back and do it again, right? Like it has clearly been not beneficial To our brand and to my image for us to be a corporation and for us to put our employees front and center right Like from a from a corporate standpoint. Was there any benefit to to the corporation? To people gaining notoriety here and then Taking that and going out and doing their own thing. No, of course not Personally i'm happy to see people spread their wings But from a corporate standpoint No from a corporate standpoint. It should all hyperfeed into of course Linus fame It's exactly And and and boosting Linus's image like it's it's not it's not good for they're they're like our creators that will Label work done by their employees. It's just theirs because that's their brand. I know this is totally a thing I know and it's been it's been very Very fascinating to watch To watch the way that that my image has sort of Been morphed over the years because i'm not perfect. I make lots and lots and lots of mistakes. Yeah, see exactly, right? Um, I make I make tons of mistakes Uh, but some of the things that I have done over the years were done with A very high degree of intention like one of the things that I do when I co-host with people is I make myself the foil the clown the one who asks the silly questions or or Pretends that I don't understand it like when I was when I was shooting with Charles Interview style stuff when I was shooting with Charles uh thugger So we had the video that came out earlier this week chasing over clocking records And then we had the one that came out before where we were looking at the uh his subzero chiller that we purchased off of him Um, he he hasn't worked with me very much, especially not on camera And so what kept happening when we were making the video on the chiller is I would ask him a question And then he would explain it And then I would have him I'd have him do another take and I'd ask him again He'd be like I just explain this to you. I'm like no, no, it's just for the camera. Like I understand it And he was like oh But apparently I was so convincing in pretending that I didn't know what he was talking about in order to get In order to get him to be the one to explain it. It's his baby, right? He built it And so to me I feel like he should have a chance to explain it um, and it's it's just been it's been it's been fascinating to uh To watch the way that that has been sort of turned into that I'm all about me 100 all the time Observing your own fame or something. Yeah. I don't know like Oh, yeah, I remember where where I wanted to go with this um I've been trying to figure out what it is that makes this podcast or what live stream Whatever you want to call it tolerable to anyone because do you even remember where we started here? Yeah Well, sort of would I take the Saudi money? Yeah, right? So, you know how everyone who works here like has a dd Yeah, you think all the viewers do I think they must It's the only way any of this could make any sense so that they can come with us Because I'm trying to I'm trying to imagine someone in their car, right? Like they're they're driving they're on a road trip somewhere and they're trying to listen to this bull I follow along with it. It's just like Dan hit them with a pole. You got to hit them with a pole now I do I do think that makes sense because I was at an event earlier this week I suspect you guys all have exactly the same problem as me, which is why you don't even realize that it's a problem Yeah, I was at an event earlier this week and I tangented before I really started a proper sentence like four or five times And I paused and apologized and both people like physically recoiled from the apology and we're like don't worry We both have 80 d. It's fine. We were following you. I was like, oh, okay Never mind. We're good Lordy, yeah, okay, so we're sitting at around 69% nice nice nice Uh, yeah, uh jura soul in Floatplane chat says we are ad d borg resistances. Oh butterfly Um, what was that? Oh, I was gonna say something about uh, oh, right. Yeah the diversification Uh, we really appreciate our float goats by the way along with the the people who support us through What float goats is crazy. That's new, isn't it? I don't think I've heard float goats. That's not new Have you heard that before yikes? No, I have not. Yeah, I mean, what's wrong with float goats? That's messed up dude to describe the floating subscribers Float floating. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah They have really good well, they don't they don't fly but boy Do they ever like they sit on the top of the water like the greatest of all time Is it very nice when they're floating? I think so. Why am I missing something here? Is this good? Is this sexual? Yeah, dude, what goat greatest of all time? What rhymes with goat for sure Mote float and what runs with float? No, not goat. Yeah, runs with float rungen got it float Do you actually not get this note? Do you actually not get this coat? Are you getting better at acting? I actually have no idea what you're talking about. Okay. Okay float The other people this is extremely ADHD Eote float goat C, G, Hote I Iote J, Jote K, Coat L, Loat M, Moat N, Note O, Oat P, Poat Q, Quote R, Roat S, Soat T, Toat It's so close Toat What's another T one? Pick a pick a different T one I was 100% convinced he was just gonna say it and then get it And then he said toat Oh, float There you go Good, good job You completely bore inside of me with the toat Worst joke I didn't see toat coming at all It's a word What do you want from me? For sure, you're right. I just didn't see it coming Carry around a little Spring it with you Throat goat Ridiculous What were we talking about ADHD? I think you were talking about ADHD We were coming off of the back of the I was thanking our float Goats I have a list but it's a disability. You can't make fun of me for it. It's a protected class. All right Our float goats Stop Our supporters on Floatplane. Are you happy? Yeah. All right Okay, so I was thanking our supporters on throat plane I'm just bugging them at this point For helping make us more resilient against any kind of interruptions in our in our business I think you guys might have seen not that long ago when we did the how does LMG make money video that adds Sense is like less than 10 of our revenue now. So we are a lot less susceptible to Momentary changes in momentum on the channel, but we do have to figure out how to get viewership. It's a throat plane That's actually pretty cool Was that the one that was made for that car that was like manufactured across the atlantic or whatever? Is that the special one plane that carries planes? Oh, no, that's a different one. Yeah um I don't actually remember what it's called, but c5 galaxy. Yeah, that's okay um Anyway, if anyone else wants to subscribe on Floatplane, that's cool But we do have to we do have to figure out the viewership thing and I think the tech house I think that doing some some bigger serialized content Is going to be a huge part of getting getting back to the way things were and also I want to do some more back to basic stuff. Me too. So plume. I want that to happen when pluf came to whale land He didn't want to haul his like giant alien wear And as someone who owns a display, he doesn't mind purchasing a display So he just went to Best Buy and was like, okay, what is the minimum viable monitor? And you got a 1080p. I want to say it was 23 or 24 inch IPS for 70 dollars So we're just gonna we're just gonna like make a video about it It's like actually that's not that's not a bad title Dan Can you send that to pluf a minimum viable product or like minimum viable monitor? Are like, uh, maybe maybe that can be a series really. Yeah. Yeah, I think we could have like I yeah series, let's just call it minimum viable product So gaming monitor minimum viable product episode one or something like that buying it buying the buying the Bare minimum gaming monitor minimum viable product or like something along those lines I think we could make minimum viable product a series. So mdp is it's more of like a software term um for like your The the the basic sort of spec that you think is is shippable Um, but I guess I guess you could also use it in hardware. It's used in a variety of spaces in the hardware space as well But uh, yeah, oh dude. I love it. I like it because You know, financial times are so tough and it's financial times are tough But it's hard to get people to watch content about cheap things. I I know Which is a very frustrating combination people get so mad at you for making videos about expensive stuff I'm like, bro. That's all you watch the cheap things But if you can make it interesting, yeah, like we do as scriper at wars and hopefully with minimum viable product Minimum viable purchase is pretty good too. That's not bad. Um, so that's from That's not bad or may or something whatever. I'm not even gonna try to pronounce that either one of those works Yeah, so yeah, I think that's pretty cool. I uh, I want well, see here's the thing So pug boy 1321 says as a poor people. I love seeing budget friendly stuff Okay, but that's the problem. We're a product focused channel and so How do I put this gently? um Regardless of the cost of the item um A lot of people undergoing financial hardship are simply not shopping for anything So that affiliates are lower and so making I'm not even talking about that. I'm just talking sure views Somehow I see you know the whole k-shaped that's interesting the k-shaped recovery thing Like it is actually it is more I was reading yesterday that the 20 percent of the luxury goods market is apparently the top 1% of earners So when you think about that you think about like the pc industry or whatever Like your top if you expand that top 1% you expand it to 10 percent I think it's something like 50 percent of all purchases So you are actually better off making a video about a 50 70 ti or a 50 80 Sorry compared to making a video about on-board graphics because if you think about when we were there Yeah, we were scrapyard warzing. Yeah, we're buying used. So we're not in the all my stuff second hand back then The new stuff was for like other people's builds Yeah And then that stuff was for me to buy one generation later at a steeply discounted price because apparently these people don't care about money Yeah, like I still remember you know you you build in a case and you get them to upgrade their fans And then the case the fans that came with the case are yours now I still remember the guy that I bought my sli 70 70 800 gtx's from Because he was selling them that would be sick if you could figure who the heck that was because he was going crossfire x 1900 or x x 1950 x tx's or something like that and I was like so You know not to be rude or anything, but like a non-tech did I had to head of these and Like the one that you're upgrading to is worse and he was literally like I just want to try it And like when I'm done with it and video will probably have something new and I'll just move to that anyway And I was like That's crazy Sick thanks for the card see uh Do you do you need a young boy to do anything for you? What is that was that was that what did you call the the full face subscribers? I Got dead I heard I don't know if his mic was unmuted, but I got dead pretty good Um, sure did he where? Did he get off yet? I mean he got off a lot of times, but like He's just trying to get his he's trying to get his sentence reduced people talking about pardons. Is he really? Yeah, I don't know. You know what let's not talk about Shawn. Did he cooms comes? I don't know how to pronounce his name Is it c o mbs? Comey comies like a communist. I don't know Are you not know any of these terms? I know comey He just misheard me. Yeah, sure. Okay. Oh man. Wow comies Is that a thing so these are gonna just end up as a soundboard You're trading the ai saying these words. No wonder you didn't know what a hard hour was What am I missing here? I can't explain this minus gas light tips. I don't know why I do that Is it sexual? Yes It's a cutesy term for the whole word minus all of the letters past the first three What like semen? Yeah, well, you can't just say that you could just say that what do you mean? It's not cute. That's not cute. It's not cute Please mr. May I have some of your same coming? That's not adorable. No, what is wrong with you? All right Next see if I were to try to define comies I would think it's something more along the lines of like congealed semen in the shape of like little bears They're like They're like the fruit snacks we buy Those ones That's that's clever Oh My god, do we do sponsors now? Yeah, we just put this in a jar for later Oh Okay, we need something Speaking of for no, let's not talk about that right now. Okay Go find an actual topic for crying out loud Whale land No, no, no one of the topics the writer's prepared. So we get through some of them. Okay, sure We're supposed to do this. EW and google and apple cracked. Yeah, but we need we need Do one of them at ADHD awareness month liners, dude The sponsors are probably only going to watch their section So we just need all of that to be far enough away from it that they don't accidentally click on it Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah google and apple cracked down on Timestamps guy by the way, no key. Do not prank me in here. We go. Here we go By the way, a lot of people don't realize that we pay timestamp guy Like I see I've seen a bunch of comments lately that we're like Cheap fucking Or whatever because we don't pay for timestamps. You guys know we've paid timestamp guy for like years, right? Like he's not a random Like do people not Like man, it is amazing the kind of stuff people assume about us. Anyway carry on So I was just reminded because I've needed to talk to I needed to talk to timestamp guy I have a story just for you Lead float goat, uh, there's pixel pixel users will be able to flip their nav option soon Maybe Maybe Android 16 qpr 2 beta 2 What a what a name what a name? Release revealed a new page coming to your navigation settings to adjust your button order According to Android authority, it will be accessible through a settings cog icon next to the three button navigation option in your settings I'm assuming it's exactly what you'd expect It allows you to swap the back and the recent buttons in the ui There's no further customization beyond that. Okay. That's all I wanted probably all that was needed It's exactly what has already existed in skins from the likes of samsung xiaomi 1 plus freaking I think I think vivo has it. What are some of the other chinese brands? I can't remember the point is this is like totally been a thing for like 10 years Ever since we moved off of physical buttons into on-screen buttons and I love it because yes, I understand that you like gestures better I don't I often find that when I'm swiping through a carousel for instance, or if I am Poking at something on like a desktop A desktop web page or whatever that it's you can accidentally trigger the the back gesture from either the left or the right on Android I don't prefer it I like having the back button right here I like being able to double tap the um the task view button to switch to my last app rather than drag up Wait Move over and touch or drag up weight and touch. Um, I am so excited Because Not that I want to run a pixel. Um I want to go xperia and Sony has publicly stated that they stick pretty close to Stock Android whatever the f*** that means these days and have no plans to implement it as part of their skin But this might mean that they might get it I'm gonna have a headphone jack. I'm gonna have like a cool sexy sony headphone jack. Yeah, they still have phones with headphone jacks and nice amps in them Dude, I don't even have to care that AirPods Pro 3 suck anymore This is so cool I'm so excited right now. They're really nice They're really He's intrigued now. He might buy something You can have my old one next gen me down for luke I mean, I'm pretty down with that Next gen is probably when I would be upgrading so like around this time next year now to be clear This setting is not even live yet. This isn't a guarantee Android authority had to tinker to enable it and believes the feature Will only appear in december's public release if it's also available in the next beta release Um, but like seriously this is an obstacle for me And what's really frustrating is you used to be able to just do this with third-party launchers Even on phones that didn't have built-in support for it But google locked that down during like launcher lockdown gait a thousand years ago when they had far less control over Customizing the navigation of the system. So it's just been this there's just been this desert of wow What a stupid problem for us to even have can we just fix it because literally your largest handset oem Puts the back button on the right. So literally anybody coming from a samsung is going if they didn't change the setting Is going to be used to that. So just make it an option like for years Many of the phones that I would switch to and that I would review would even have it as part of the setup wizard When you set up your phone, they would prompt you. Hey, where do you want these? Just so just do it. It's how many lines of code is this for real though Just move this button there and move this one there interchange them like honestly they If Corsair and Elgato can have configurable buttons on a stream deck, you do not have an excuse I want to see something a little bit wack. I'd love to I tried to look up Xperia phones wikipedia is the first Well, yeah, I mean they're not in this market. They never have. Yeah, that's still like and I Whether Dan was referring to their market share or their marketing. He's right Uh, yeah, correct So can you even buy them here? I don't know, but I'll find one. I'll find a way I'll get one. I import them. The newer models have a us variant, but The rest of them are like I buy the china ones because they have Like the hong kong variant has unlock bootloader. So you can really like put whatever you want on it That makes sense because it's not SD card physical sim headphone jack Um, mine's got like Zeiss lenses physical zoom the camera bumps not that bad They have cool features that go along with their cameras too Like you can use them as viewfinders and stuff. Some of them like HDR If you have a playstation, you can use it as a wireless screen that attaches to the top of your controller It's like kind of bonkers This model that I have here has the highest ppi of any phone at 600 and Okay, that's 30. I actually do not support these ridiculous. They downgraded the display in the later model You should have but I'm upset because this one's 21 by 9 and the new ones are a slightly different aspect ratio It has no notch and no hole punch. Yep, which is another reason why I like them. I'm so excited I'm just gonna I'm gonna immediately go sony as soon as I can get a skin that has the button on the right I and it's not even because I couldn't just use gestures on the sony But I I said and I am a man of my word I said that I want them to fix it and I will use an xperia phone when they fix it So in much the same way that I told plex. Hey fix your fix your s*** And then we will be able to work together and as you know and promote your stuff again Um, and we won't do it until they do same thing Yeah customizable is good. I support you It's surprising how hard it is to even find any information on these ones. Oh, yeah Yeah, they don't bother. Um, they've often before just been like, hey, we're gonna release a new phone in like eight months And then no one cares Whereas samsung like new phone coming next week high train and sony's just like we're gonna release the next phone It looks exactly like the old phone, but it's it has an indecipherable name It is slightly better like every other phone. We don't care Uh, we will sell 20 and they will be the best phone. I don't I've did whatever That's so weird. It's waterproof and it has dual sim sd card. It has two less sim removal They were the first to do waterproof, weren't they? I have no idea. I believe so. Was it the xperia? Was it the xperia one being a thing if they weren't the first they were close Yeah, they were they were very early on the whole waterproof phone actually proof, obviously The xperia z Yeah, because I think I did a video I don't know how credible tnt magazine.com is I mean, this isn't even grammatically correct, but sony announced I seem to recall that there was a there was a display that they had at ces where They had the phone submerged in water and the screen was on or something like yeah this This this thing I saw this Yeah, remember this. Did you see this? Yeah This was this was like that was nuts back then dude that was crazy Yeah, this this blew people's minds back and the fact that they made it so that you hold the button to do it Yeah, was like such a what a flex good sigh off what a flex Yeah, all right Dan, what are we supposed to be doing? We could do a couple merch messages and the cw announcement which one goes first Don't don't tell me more than one thing just tell me one thing because otherwise I don't even know any of the things you said cw announcements. Yes, sir Got an everyday carry.

Oh really? I don't think that's what they meant for the pants probably not i'm assuming Yeah, i'm thinking probably not Anyway, the point is that um, oh here we go. Uh chase r says great work pants.

So Get yourself some get yourself some cargo pants for 99 99 on both the us and global site But that's not all if you buy a precision screwdriver and bitcase bundle We'll throw in an end cap set for free So that's the the alternate ends for the top of the precision screwdriver that are either Divided so if you prefer to put your thumb on the top when you're using it Or round it at the top if you're more of like a cupper and then we have a different color a black one of the flat one All you have to do is add both a precision screwdriver and a bitcase bundle to your cart And also the end cap set I think and the discount will automatically apply on checkout LMG.gg Slash precision bundle Precision screwdriver and bitcase so you add that there and then we have the information on the bundle there So that'll be a great way for you guys to send a merch message to the show if you are new to the show Merch messages are the way that we do interaction if you're gonna have to throw your money at the screen to interact with a live stream You know like people do then you might as well do it in a way They get to high quality merchandise in the mail in a little while rather than just Throwing it out there and hoping for the best at least that's the way we see it So all you got to do to send a merch message is add one of those terrific items to your cart And you will see this interface Merch messages you can show your first name and last name you can make it anonymous Either way is good. You can pick a color. Look at that color changing thing that incredible great job Wow You can type a message and then it will go to producer Dan who will I don't know he'll do something he'll reply to it or he'll forward it or he'll curate it And curated ones go a little something like this Dan hit me with a merge message. Absolutely. We've got a few in already Hey that we do with those deals. Hey dll Quarter whale vip here. I guess that's one of four whale vip here That makes a lot more sense than a quarter of one of them. Oh, no, they could have gone in bulk deal Uh You can have I wore more like they could be in four pieces, but they probably wouldn't be typing anything at that point I mean hand and is one of the four Yeah, but that wouldn't be a quarter of them by mass truth all legs But Linus, did you enjoy the whale land? Also the whales pulled off a complete win rematch. Oh We got Alliterated what happened? There was a whales versus LMG staff you lost game Well, I lost because it didn't happen till pretty late on the second day and no offense to my teammates But I wasn't able to put together quite as stacked a team as I would have liked to also I probably I probably have not including whale land Three or four hours in FPS games over the last year like it just hasn't been what I've been playing And they went and practiced throughout the land playing ut 2004 And challenged us to that game where practice is going to make a difference. Uh, yeah Little bit. So we went on to unfamiliar PCs with in some cases unfamiliar peripherals Nothing against kyle tinen and chase chase in particular is a very good gamer But if I could have chosen I probably would have taken like natalie Um, I probably still would have taken chase. No offense to kyle and tinen. They carried they were they did way better than me I want to make this abundantly clear. But if I'm trying to put together a team of ringers Like I I probably would have I probably would have taken I probably would have taken nat I would have taken chase and then I'd have to figure out the last one. Who else is pretty good. I know david's really good I don't know if he plays as much anymore though. So what's the game? Uh, ut 2004 it thomas Was he there? Oh, he was I didn't know that thomas was like he's a gamer lead gamer. Yep Okay, I'll have to keep that in mind. I don't think he was there anymore by that point But anyway, yeah, okay, I might be down for a rematch But you gotta you gotta understand I'm gonna stack the deck a little bit in my favor because if you guys are gonna go and pick a game that like they wouldn't play Me and left for dead Which is also an FPS game but one where I would absolutely tune them no matter how much they trained um So yeah, maybe yes, I did enjoy well land not in the ways that I was expecting to enjoy it I actually had very little time to game. I played like Three rounds of halo c e. I played One round of left for dead. I played a few games of tape to tape and I think that and then I played the game against the Whales and that was it over the span of two days But what I definitely enjoyed was seeing it all come together I mean the project's been like years in the making the last time we did a land was ltx 23 A public one. Yeah. Yeah, or was it 22? Oh god. When was the last ltx 23 23? Yeah, there you go So it's so it's been over two years and um and the space there were some power issues We didn't let it know that there was going to be the the the giant display that we bought on or the computers on the stage Uh until I think or the tape to tape area day or I think the vr area Or the insanely power hungry vending machines. So I can explain what how okay, so the okay, so hold on Give me a sec. Okay. So first of all The original plan was to line both sides with power But then they came and told us a hey that exceeds the power budget for this transformer. You can't do that and we kind of went Okay, fine. So we'll do we'll do all down this one side We'll do the tables with the spider things this power boxes spider boxes coming out that side and then We'll probably just need a couple on this side. Well, okay bad news Um, we ended up having to move things around because some staff who didn't even bother to show up for the Land complained about not being able to get a spot. So we created a staff area on that side Um, that was a bunch of power that used up a bunch. I think I like populated it anyways Yeah, anyway, the point is and I wanted to it was I had I was gone because of a work thing I wasn't exactly gone because I wanted to be the point is that We wouldn't have had that power budget to deal with if you hadn't demanded that we changed the layout of the thing So I'm happy that we did we should do it next time too. We should so there was that um, and then That used up probably what would have gone to the stage and then compounding this This this vending machine company and oh, this is embarrassing. I actually forget What they're called now, which really sucks because they were really fancy machines. Super cool about everything Um, so they they do they do hot food They do like mixed drinks not not like alcoholic beverages um Oh, here we go. Here we go. I've got it. Uh, they're called Uh g and a robot So they they posted on I guess this is tiktok. Yeah, they posted on tiktok me trying it and chatting with them about it And then they also brought an ice cream machine. So. Oh, yeah, here's I don't see how you guys can't release this But whatever there's the three fancy like very like Japanese feeling like high tech sort of asian feeling like vending machines um And we've been in talks with them about having just not bothering with a concession at smash champs or at least not bothering for now But having some options where we don't have to do the food safe certification. We don't have to do the um The the license for it and all of that stuff having some options for people to get like hot food after after they play Or have some different options for drinks. They do like coffees teas ice coffees Fruit sugar drinks. Did they have a boba thing? No, not not at this time. I don't know if I don't know if that's something I saw some art for it, but I wasn't sure and then they had this cool like ice cream machine So like having those for the players would be super cool during tournaments during whale lands or even just day to day And so they like pulled out all the stops to try to get these machines to us in time for whale land when they found out about it So then we had to pull out all the stops and we didn't find out that jim who is the general manager for smash champs Um, like organized it. We didn't find out till he told us and we were like, oh, no, where are we going to put these? Oh my god, they need like 30 or 40 amps at 240 volt How are we going to power these stupid things because we never accounted for having heavy power on that side? So And then oh right there was supposed to be a retro Area and so rove lab sent over a whole bunch of like couch segments. So they're those like modular They they ship in a in a like Vacuum sealed box thing and they like expand and you can you can put together as many middle pieces you want So you can kind of make furniture in any configuration you want And they sent over a bunch of stuff that was supposed to be for like a retro gaming corner So we had all these retro consoles and I think the plan was to have some displays I don't know. I never saw any because I saw all the coaches and I went What about 5v5 tape to tape? So then I went and I found like a projector and I went and got a computer from home like my old media center pc I just brought it to the land We didn't have controllers So I just brought controllers from home to the land and then I spent a bunch of my time where I was supposed to be gaming Just ripping out all the stuff for the ripping out all the stuff for the retro Corner and creating a 5v5 like a 10 player Roguelite hockey game thing with like a 120 inch projector screen and I actually for sound We had something on a projector at the test land or like we wanted to do something on a project Right, we wanted to play tape to tape at the test land the internal one. Remember? Yes, and we ended up having to go upstairs to the player lounge. Yeah I don't even know why because we didn't have sound Uh, so, uh, right luke actually helps me load the speakers So for sound for the uh for the little like hockey game lounge I actually used the audio solution from scrapyard wars Because I don't know we're obviously not doing anything with it. It was just for scrapyard war So I grabbed the receiver grabbed the speakers set it all up. It was sick. Yeah, it was freaking awesome. Yeah. Yeah, and I forgot Damn good that epson ls 12 000 projector is man What the only reason I'm not using it today is that the tcl x11 or whatever it's called the the 115 inch tv is it's better But that epson projector man, what a what a great projector. Yeah, I think I mean, I think some of the problem there was also Uh, I think it was like three notable internet outages Talus went down for a period of time, which is like a very rare our switch and then the switch went down our core switch went down, which To me is a little confusing given that it's like 100 gigabit like supposedly core switch or like whatever. Um, I I hope we're running like beta firmware on it and I hope that we can What the heck is that shut up tiktok? Why would you play automatically? No, I know why you would do that But also just for doing that. Yeah, don't do that Yeah, so we're we're looking into those things, uh, you know, we did a test run But not with 250 big difference between a test run and now we have a stage and all these other things And 250 people and everyone's hitting it differently and yada yada yada Have you seen the oh, I'm gonna say this and then I'm not gonna have the numbers immediately available Have you seen the data that went through the switches the ports? Uh, you seen it. Yeah, you posted in our group chat. Did you see the power monitoring that aj set up? Yeah Also, he's down. He posted a video idea. Oh, super cool. Okay. Well, we'll chat about that in that in that meeting But um, well, he's looking that up. Uh aj who's uh, like an it infrastructure guy slash Floatplane slash I mean, what does he not do at this point? Anyway been here forever. Once you're here forever, you wear a lot of Yeah, so he set up power monitoring for the building and I was gonna come to sort of the the power situation So what we found is that even though our our like outlets are at capacity We were actually nowhere near the capacity of our transformer. So between the two of them I think one is rated for a 400,000 watts and the other one is rated for 150,000 watts And then I want to say our 250 or something and both of them were at like under half capacity so Knowing that nothing we're going to connect to those california standard power outlets is actually going to draw the full Amount I'm going to see if we can get an engineer to sign off on us putting some more drops in So that we'll just have better flexibility in terms of our layout with the understanding that we just Don't use it all and we use our power monitoring. Okay. What am I looking for 24 hour usage? Wow Trying to figure out what happened there exactly. Well, uh, oh, okay Anywhere between the lowest one I see is 1.39 terabytes And the highest one I see is 5.4 terabytes. Were people torrenting at the land? I don't know what's going on. AJ's here. So you might be able to answer But my guess was that there was weird stuff going on with steam and like local sharing and stuff And I know that makes sense. We did tell people to turn off local transfers But well what we didn't tell them to turn it off What we said is that they won't get the benefit of our land cash If they don't turn off local transfers, but I suspect local transfers is a default setting now So probably most people without even realizing it were transferring game data off of each other on the network Yeah, without realizing I suspect that was happening Got it. I I don't know though. That was my just like knee jerk like okay. What was that? Something happened Bourdaga in Floatplane chat says Linus. Why are you acting like it's crazy? You brought your rig to a land? Isn't that the point hashtag you've changed? slash s So the reason that I was notable that I brought my old media center pc to the land was I also brought my Yeah machine. Yeah, it was amazing how many people saw my rig And we're just like you brought your whole rack mount computer to a land and I was like, this is my computer What do you want me to do? I just turned it on its side Oh, dude, the setup was so jank because um That's land I I only have two mobile PCs right now So I brought my ally with the xg one xg mobile for one of my daughters And then I brought my remaining working flow x13 laptop with my other xg mobile for my other daughter Set them up for the ally. I just used like an external monitor I pulled one of the ones that used to be in the gaming van We've consolidated down to just the one that flips up from the from the roof Uh, so they were taken care of but then I didn't have a machine for my son So I was like, oh, I guess I could just I could just drag his rack mount Because I have an external water cooling box that has the same quick connect fittings that I use for whenever I'm working on those machines on the bench So if I if I need to have them out of the rack for an extended period I just have like a like a three by three 120 mil fan external rad box to run them But what I haven't gotten around to is replacing the asinine stock power connector for it that is a four pin molex Why would why would I want that? I mean, okay, I can think of why I'd want that I would run it through a pc i slot and just have one of those pass throughs And then I would like connect it to my power supply or something And then I'd put the rad box next to my computer But like don't you think it's more likely that I would just plug it in to an external power? Yeah, I hate that so much I I I can see the valid arguments for both ways the point is I want it to use an external power source But I haven't gotten around to changing it yet, and I forgot to grab one of those little power Sorry one of those little power brick to molex things that we have kicking around here Yeah, so my solution was to rip my side panel open And power his rad box off of my power supply Which was only a not which was only a problem When I aximidentally didn't have my computer on for a while because I forgot I did that And his CPU overheated I had to do a usb BIOS flashback. Fortunately, the loop didn't blow up. Anyway, sorry. What were you gonna say? I was gonna say, you know if anything having it be four pin molex makes The conversion is kind of nice and easy. Yeah, I guess also Corey is the name in full plane chat. This is a bit of a throwback but Said my data consumption for microsoft flight sim 2024 is currently over two terabytes Streaming the world is data intensive. Yeah fun fact my my Brother his wife and I went in on a combo present and got my dad flight sim and and some controllers Oh, that's cool. So a hotass set up for for christmas. You got your dad a hot ass for christmas And your mom was in on it. Sometimes you got to do unconventional things weird family, dude, but carry on I mean, look, I'm not judging whatever happens between consenting adults Uh, a hands-on throttle mistake for people that don't understand what's happening. Hotas. Hotas hands-on throttle mistake You can't spell hotas without ho and ass um anyways, uh They had to upgrade their internet connection Oh, yeah, not even kidding. It would like bring the network down. Yeah, that makes sense crazy Like what the heck? Yeah, no that that that actually does make sense I don't like that they were they were talking to me about it and and He was talking about how like they called their isp I'm pretty sure it was telus and the the person on the other end was like, okay. What are you Doing when this happens or whatever and my my dad told me he's playing the game and the guy on the other end was like Oh, yeah, it's the game But didn't like really explain it too much. Maybe he did. I wasn't on the call And then my dad tells me like, oh, it's it's the game that i'm playing my brain's just like come on man. No Yeah, like you can play games on like hot spots Like you can mobile hotspot your phone and like well won't even touch your data like this doesn't matter Like you can play multi you could play counter strike. Yep Mobile hotspot and you won't even notice. Oh, yeah, I wouldn't because I mean Counter strike is just walk down a hallway and then die simulator for me. Yeah, it's gonna suck, but you could yeah And then so I'm just assuming this like tell us guys nuts and then I start looking things up and I'm like Not only does it use a lot of data uses a lot of data at a time like the throughput is crazy um, so yeah, they had to they had to It's such like an annoying gift Here's the game and like the an awesome set of peripherals to play with by the way Upgrade your subscription service Yeah, now every month you're gonna be paying more for this. Yeah Oh Here's a puppy says boston. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it felt like one of those also by the way inconvenient I got you inconvenience. Well, not only that but I just and a financial burden I made a bad assumption as well When when working on this idea Um, because the racing sim world like the racing sim upstairs. Yeah, you just okay Go in I have this controller. It'll set up a profile for you by default flight. Yeah, come on. There's nothing. No Why because you have to be an enthusiast to Play this my thing is okay. Don't have any default profiles. That's fine.

Hobbes like potentially immediately solved my problem There's like something you can just buy and it can import profiles for you Oh, it's stupid that it's not built into the game. This should really be built into the game Microsoft figure yourself out But also like that's a tall order these days. Yeah, it really is with what developers will maybe doing that With what studios they haven't closed will they be doing that? Vibe code me a profile importer. Oh my god, it'll get like 25 of it. Correct Anywho You want to pick one? Oh, why don't we never be able to update it speaking of developers? Let's do xbox may be dying And it's doing it to itself. Yeah, good timing. Microsoft announced this week They are raising the price of game pass ultimate by 50% in the us and some other markets causing a rush of angry Cancelation so large that the xbox website apparently crashed multiple times This $10 price increase comes two days after xbox president sarah bond said that game pass was already profitable Microsoft tried to soften the sticker shock by presenting this change as an upgrade that adds ubisoft classics fortnite crew as well as a promise to have 75 plus day one games per year This comes the same week that xbox's hardware's Oh as xbox hardware's second price hike in less than a year a month after costco removed all xbox items from their stores And a few months after another round of closures and mass layoffs across xbox studios Combined with the recent release of some iconic xbox exclusives on playstation xbox devotees are beginning to feel as though microsoft's xbox hardware division may be in a bit of a death spiral but Not all is lost x bros Although revenue from hardware sales was down 22 percent year over year in the quarter ending june 2025 microsoft chairman and ceo satan adela said Game pass annual revenue was nearly five billion dollars for the first time With 37 million active subscribers as of july 2025 microsoft may be relying more and more on that service To drag the entire xbox division into the green Which is the gaming lamb landscape to which pre-orders of the new rog xbox ally and ally x opened at a price of 600 us dollars for the one that has a CPU that's like five years old at this point Okay, I don't think it's actually quite five years old. Okay. How old is the the how old is zen to? zen to release year Oh Okay, cool zen to launched in 2019 if anything. I was uh I was being charitable cool, so uh And a thousand us dollars for the one that actually has like a modern new CPU in it whoo I was talking to david about this who is actually the one who prepped this topic and or was it talking to ploof about it? I don't know. I was talking to one of them. They look so similar um I was talking to someone from the writing department about this and they were basically making the argument that the rg xbox ally and rg xbox ally x are going to be successful products Um, but the price is going to be a significant impediment and I don't know man. I I gotta say I think I haven't Played on it yet as you guys may or may not have noticed There's one sitting here That arrived minutes before the show, so I haven't even genuinely haven't even touched it again. Well, no since the event It was here for like an hour and a half. Okay. Well, I wasn't yeah the point is that I'm saying all of this before I've actually like Given it a fair shot yet but What's happening here is sort of regardless of the price of the of the various allies and their xboxes related sort of collab products It's a huge it's a fundamental shift in the hardware model of xbox Right instead of first-party hardware that is subsidized by a built-in game store collecting 30 from every developer who sells a game through it, which is What this is up against in the form of the steam deck which by the way is on like mega sale right now and is an insane value It really is This Is relying on third-party partners who have to make their margin on the product And as far as I am aware although this may not be the case as far as I'm aware Microsoft has not engaged in the same kind of profit sharing that has driven like the mobile industry for instance to Sell hence so so like like mobile kiosks and and mobile stores selling Plans and selling hardware and then getting a long-term kickback So there doesn't appear to be a similar system in place to help subsidize this hardware for Microsoft's partners So I just don't really I don't really see How this can compete with a playstation 5 and a portal which is going to cost You could get a playstation 5 pro and a portal for the cost of an rg xbox lax. This is a steam deck right now Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah A steam deck that's actually costs literally Like 27 percent as much as this it costs literally that is the lowest end model and that is the lcd model Less than half of the ally the non x Less than half That's what you're up against you're up against valve Taking their 30 percent and using it to subsidize their hardware You're up against sony being able to price a playstation 5 pro plus a portal at less than your lix That's a that's a tough position to be in I'm going to make sure I'm right about that ps5 pro msrp What is it right now? I think it's uh, yeah 750 us dollars And that's the pro the one that most people agree like don't really need And then the portal is uh, I think it's 250 right Hold on. I might be wrong about this. I'm gonna make sure I'm right about this 199 Oh, but has since yeah around 200. Yeah, there you go. So Oh Good luck everyone Well, we have a bunch of discussion questions. Oh, this is a spicy one is game pass still the best value in gaming at now $30 a month It's oh man, see I but I have probably just an annoying take on this. I don't know. I don't know if Sure, no when it wasn't because you don't own your games I don't think it was a good value I don't think it is a good value. I don't think it was a good. Okay. Tell me this but I value owning my game Sure, but retrospectively, right? Let just devil's advocate take I have actually never subscribed to game pass I also just pay for games and a big part of that for me is that I can super duper afford I can afford to which is a privilege And I think it's pretty cool that if I really like a game the developer gets all a bunch of that money So that's not because I think game pass is a bad deal I've I've made arguments on camera and I meant what I said that game pass has been at times an outstanding Value for what it is. But so let me make that argument then what if over the last Couple of years that you'd been paying 20 bucks a month for game pass you played through So that would be I think it's uh, it's discounted if you buy it on a yearly basis But let's let's say let's assume you paid monthly. So you've paid $500 in game pass over a couple of years Let's say that you played through like 20 single player experiences. You don't plan to play again Did you get a great value? What if dlcs come out for them? I mean, what if I do want to touch that game again for some reason and then I cancel my subscription and I I can't get my save back because it's tied to that version. Yeah, and that's fair But what if also what if I do want to play one of those games again? Like it's a very specific what if to say that you played a very very large amount of games and never want to play any of them again That's fair. That might be an archetype of gamer for sure I'm certain someone watching this perfectly fits in that category Or what if you're someone who in the past wasted a lot of money buying games playing them for three to five hours? And then realizing they don't actually care about them that much And it allowed you to to to be uh, you know Just I have to drift around from game to game and not worry about the financial the extra financial burden of that I have literally ran into a scenario where There was an update to a game that seemed interesting. Yeah, and someone that I played it with when it first launched I reached out to and was like, hey This looks pretty cool. Do you want to try it out? And they were like, uh, I don't know if it's worth like reactivating my subscription It's like All right, dude That's fair. Cool. But like I I just own it. So I guess I'll go check it out myself There's a lot of there's a lot of discussion on this in the Floatplane chat Like some people are saying like dude game ownership is so overrated as a gamer of 44 years I have over 800 games and I practically never go back to play one Meanwhile, you've got you've got other people that are Oh, this is an argument. We didn't even talk about fantastic in Floatplane chat says I've got something like 2500 games in my steam library most of which I haven't gotten around to playing So for me, I can't justify game plus subscription just because I have so much other stuff to play that there's no reason for me to spend more money on games at all right now um There was a uh, oh autumn sale Walker makes a really important point that we're talking game pass ultimate Which not only includes the games, but for certain games it also gives access to a cloud streaming platform Which might be good for people on older pcs or who are often on the go So that's fair. I didn't actually know that because I don't care But there are solid arguments. I think both I can understand their being scenarios where for me It makes no sense. I don't want it. I like the idea that I'm more directly supporting developers when I buy the full fat game I have a huge backlog of games that I want to play I see no desire to be Hungry biting at the bit of new game pass releases a game pass does not mean that you get every game It means you get every game that's on game pass And they could come and they go the game that you're playing on every they feel like it Well, I don't like any of that. Um, I also like I'm looking at the steam autumn sale Which is running right now hobs points out that in some cases save transfers are not possible between Windows store and steam versus Games what I was saying earlier. Yep. Um, I think that's actually like really important Um, personally You know, I used to back up my save data like I still have my dragon age origins like save file I don't think I've ever actually been tempted to fire it up And even if I did the game has probably been updated so many times that it wouldn't even necessarily work I run into that a lot of times so I don't know but then on the flip side of that is when I went to Start tears of the kingdom. I like super cared that I still had my breath of the wild save I don't know. I I there are games. I care about it a lot. There are also games where I go back and I'm like this save is unplayable because like I don't remember anything of what's going on or I did everything wrong But then the steam notes feature that's is fantastic for that. Um, and is becoming less of a problem Um, what is the name control is the name of that game? Yeah, dude. What the heck? These type of sales happen. So if you can just be a little bit patient Oh, yeah, right you can get control ultimate edition for five canadian dollars. Yeah, it's like 350 Like yeah when you could get 10 games of this caliber A month once you convert that to usd. I think it's probably Not quite but close close eight. Let's say eight eight games of this caliber a month Or game pass ultimate. I'm getting these dude Yeah, that's fair every time that's valid. Apparently it's free on epic Or no, maybe not right now. Oh, yeah, a bunch of people are saying free on gog free on epic. That's wild control is Apparently, I don't know free on gog That's pretty cool. You should definitely get it from gog if you can Gog is pretty based very um Yeah, I didn't even consider that argument like the the drm free nature of gog Is like the complete opposite of we will take it from you whenever we want and you will pass the subscription forever And your save won't transfer and screw you. Yeah, like I would way rather support gog Then get a freaking game pass like I I No All right, not personally. I'm not gonna judge someone else for getting it. Do your thing That's that's a fair take. Not for me. I think that's a fair take Our other discussion question here is do you think Microsoft might be trying to push people hold on It's worth the devs, but also don't buy it until it's 90 off wtf I don't tend to do that too often. I was saying that's a strat that is really good If you're looking at min maxing your dollar value, it's also not luke's fault that the devs priced it at that amount like you're you're still Definitely supporting them. It's more of like a It's for change kind of support, but that game has also been out for like Eight years or something like that. Let me roll and control come out six years ago. Oh, okay, 10th 2020. All right Okay, our next discussion is do you think Microsoft might be trying to push people into the lower game pass tiers with no day one releases Rather than just backing out of their day one game pass release promise like is this sort of a tactical Price is a decent strat actually because if you really care about a game and you want it day one You could just buy it and for everything else you have your game pass I've heard that's a thing that like quite a few people do so. Yep. I don't know Um, there's a bunch more discussion questions here. David. These are all really interesting I almost wonder if this should just be like its own Its own video. I'm gonna I'll mark that uh because I yeah, I don't think we can talk about this forever on Uh Maybe this is just a video in a bit. Okay, one thing that will inevitably be on game pass because forza is a Microsoft studio thing But i'm excited about anyways is they are finally going to japan forzer hyzen six is going to be in japan And that's actually pretty sick. I'm excited about that All right, let's move on shall we Floatplane announcement? Is that what we're supposed to do Dan? Where? Where is it? Sarah week is upon us Here it is. Am I supposed to watch the announcement? I don't know I feel like probably Do we have audio Dan does my audio work? Um, what are the odds? Give her a plan. Let's see. Uh, but Do I have uh the stream going? Nope. Okay. Nice. Uh, I hope no, it's muted. Yeah Oh, man. So is this and also someone on someone on the account watched it So usually for Floatplane themed weeks we spend time and money creating some elaborate teaser trailer, but I uh spent all that money on a trip to drum heller. So now sammy's on the phone with accounting Uh, trying to get some more money for us but dinosaurs so Accounting says by the merch by the merch by the merch. Please buy the merch I need to live here. Are you often the butt of the joke? Am I this is mood? How many shirts do you think I've designed over the five years? We've got 26 here What you don't want cat like what's what's like butt scratches? That's bad. What are your top three dinosaurs? Delofosaurus my dog reminds me of a velociraptor. So my dog is my third favorite cop out Oh, there's your trim bone apathy You can get some clams and mussels too bone apathy bone apathy There was a point where I was quality checking every single hollow foil shirt that went out So if you own a hollow foil shirt, I probably touched it at some point I didn't know that that's a great plastic editing. Good job sammy. Yeah. Yeah, I remember that there was uh, there was issues with the ink and it was bad and uh We were still new at all of this And there was nobody else to do it so Anyway, um Sarah week is upon us a content highlights will include a sara q&a a t-shirt design ranking and a very expensive travel vlog to drum Heller alberta aka The dinosaur capital of the world according to alberta Also, we will have a limited run Floatplane exclusive shirt to coincide with sarah week. It looks a little something like that It's a dinosaur And also there's a Floatplane on the back. Heck. Yeah. Heck. Yeah This and so much more all on Floatplane next week LMG.gg slash Floatplane All right Dan I think we should do at least one more topic All right, what do you want to talk about Lou? So we did xbox We did We have done an extremely poor job of getting through all the topics that we were supposed to talk about today We have i've leaned luke. Uh, I want to do another ad hoc Linus topic though Oh my god No, we have to we have to do this one But we have to get through some of the topics we have to prepare then we do it after dark We have to do it after dark We have to get through people put real actual human work into preparing these topics for us Windows 10 is end of life October 14th is when Windows 10 support ends and boy are things ever happening Businesses are dumping their Windows 10 machines and a substantial reason is due to the lack of Windows 11 Compatibility due to the lack of tpm2 and or other critical hardware and I guess they don't want to Get modules and have people plug them in. Uh, they could use the extended security updates. Yeah, that's true Like you're not doing that on your laptop. So yeah And uh, well, yeah, I mean that's fair most of the pictures I've seen are old desktops, but they might just be Might be kind of time anyways, uh, but that's a paid program the extended security updates thing So many folks are weighing the costs and benefits Uh, because it's priced at 30 dollars per license per year. Would you pay? Oh, wow That is an interesting question. Would you pay 30 dollars a year? To run any version of Windows you wanted Like your ideal and it was secure and and it had if if microsoft had a program where you were still allowed to run Windows 7 Or xp, but it but it was but but with modern support Modern support. I mean, I have to assume that they could afford to do it I mean, how many how many millions of people are still running Windows xp today Windows xp market share I I'm willing to bet it's not zero. It's quite a lot actually It's uh, it's apparently it's apparently still somewhere between 0.3 and 0.54 percent Which if you think about how many hundreds of millions of PCs there are in a year There are in the world Do you think we could say with reasonable certainty that there's a billion PCs in the world? Probably one in one for every eight people I I'd say that's probably on the low side. That's decently. So let's let's just let's make some let's make some dumb napkin math assumptions Let's say 1 billion PCs Buh, okay times point. Let's use the lower end of that number what I say point zero three Okay, so point zero three percent equals 30 million PCs times 30 dollars a year Would give microsoft a 900 million dollar a year budget to maintain modern support for Windows xp And And that's like, okay, I don't even think and to be clear I don't think that would be necessarily reasonable. I don't think that this is necessarily a reasonable thing to expect anybody to actually do I don't think all of those customers would pay. I don't think microsoft's partners would love to support Upteen billion versions of Windows forever on all of their software I just mean if you could if you could pay 30 dollars a year to run your ideal version of Windows Would you pay for Windows and and does this mean I already pay for Windows? But would you subscribe to Windows? But okay Does this mean game support? Yeah, does this so there's all compatibility? It means it works like you'd expect it to work It doesn't get new features But but it works the way that you would expect it to work for new features because a lot of those are compatibility things I would say that uh, I would say that co-pilot is a new feature Okay, so could I do the wanshow on Windows xp? Is this kind of what you're saying? Yeah, could this computer run Windows xp? Yeah I can play modern games and connect to wi-fi and do things like that on Windows xp Okay, so it's getting features 30 dollars is new features too cheap I would pay more you'd pay more than 30 dollars a year. No, who are we kidding? I wouldn't pay anything Some of those things are new features Which ones what if it's like dx 12? But it's Windows xp Like there's there's about the inverse what if I wanted to run Windows xp software They would just kind of like have unlimited support for every program written back to dos Kind of like where are the bounds of this hypothetical? I don't know my guys. I think you might be overthinking a little bit. Let's say that everything works And we just have a nebulous definition of what a feature is would you pay 30 dollars a year to run? Which is your favorite Windows 7? Probably 7 but I did used to run. I did used to run. Vista was hotter. I did used to run Nice vista black edition Nice. This was once you go vista black. You never go back. This was Windows xp black sick back in the day So I could see I could see me going for heavily modded versions By my like I so what I would do back in the day Oh, so I'll get black edition and then I would mod it Significantly further beyond there heavily modded version of vista or if I have to stick to like a more stock experience I would go Yeah, seven for sure. I'm doing heavily modded seven Do not under any circumstance go beyond seven and the main reason for that is telemetry and ads Mmm. Yep, and Windows 8 just sucked 8.1 was like a lot better, but 8 was And I hate the blocky design so just I'm just staying away from that's fair from 8 and 8.1 Anyway, the point is keep an eye out for some used hardware If you're looking to build like a home theater pc or a nas or something like that There are to my knowledge still workarounds to get around the tpm stuff for home use Stats counter noted that Windows 7 has apparently had a massive increase in market share So that's Pretty interesting What has Windows 7? Really? Yeah, I guess if people are like, I'm not gonna have security anyways. They're just going back to the better one. That's great. That's great Yeah So I don't I don't quite understand how that works, but um, you know what I'm I'm here for it That's a really significant jump. Oh dude. It's like very like it was flat lined basically Yeah, and then it's like boom and it very clearly is coming out of Windows 10 Yeah, so I wonder if people are like, hey, if I'm not gonna support anyways, I'll just go back wild Absolutely wild you absolute mad lads all of you Okay Um, I know 7 was so sick. Do you want to talk about open ai and saura 2? Sure Open ai launches saura app this one Oh, it's moving open. I launched the story app. That's the topic you're talking about. Yeah, okay Open ai launches saura app parental controls an instant check out which is Crazy open ai has launched saura 2 their new flagship video model now featuring audio generation Exclusively available through their new invite only iOS exclusive social app also called saura The new model is notably better at simulating physics Open ai says that it's In its current state it will be able to follow instructions that spend multiple shots and simulate a consistent world state Which I can already tell you it doesn't really do and we probably shouldn't listen to what they say things do at this point But anyways moving forward The feature that caused the app to go viral this week was cameos What technically they only said it can they didn't say that they enabled that feature Or that it will all the time The the the feature that made it go viral was cameos users can train the model to replicate their likeness Or just pretend there's someone else and train it to Replicate that persons and then choose whether to keep that ability to themselves or allow others to deep fake them as well This led to social media being overwhelmed by videos of sam altman Doing many things including being dressed up as a kiddie man or stealing GPU's from target Are you loading those nope? I'm bringing up the creepy one that someone sent me Okay Here is him dressed as a kiddie man You Okay, and here's I gave sora the oh boy. I mean I can pretty easily tell it's not you but LTT logo and a simple prompt The host of this narrating about sora. What's the audio suspiciously got line of sebastian's voice and likeness just with blue eyes Uh, here we go ready Dan I'm blowing minds lately, but there's a lot more going on under the hood. It's not just stitching together frames You probably know sora as the text Yeah, so it's pretty extensively trained on you. Yep Nice, that's cool. I'm happy they compensated you for that Me too Anyways, here's sam altman steering stealing GPU's and then getting caught for it You No, it's not gonna lie pretty good. Yep Especially because we've known for a long time that like Security camera footage. Yeah, that's true security camera footage or I mean, it's the old like Bigfoot thing, right? Yeah, it's always the worst camera at the worst angle in the worst lighting Like you you do that and it's hard to tell what's real and what isn't because the fidelity is so low um anyways At the moment sora 2 is limited to iOS and open ai said that they want to scale Responsibly giving users tools to control their feed and even uh default limits on how many generations teens can make Okay, uh, sure. That's the main concern right now. Yeah That's posturing for sure. Uh parental controls for sora will be accessible through the chat gpt app Where general parental controls have been introduced as well parents just have to link their accounts and will have access to toggle features Set blackout hours and receive notifications triggered by their teen's behavior The progression with parental controls is part of an ongoing effort to make chat gpt helpful for everyone massive quotes Uh, eventually open ai wants to be able to accurately predict the age of users so they can automatically block graphic content And potentially involve law enforcement and also serve the meds and if the I added that last part myself And if the kids, yeah, absolutely That's the core reason for sure and if the kids really wanted the bad things They would just run it locally Uh open ai elaborated saying that it will only contact law enforcement in rare emergencies When their system detects a teen is in a moment of acute distress and their parent cannot be reached Oh, okay. Yeah, that I just throwing that out there. That might be too late um Acute distress just a little bit too late. Yeah, not a good time to necessarily do that A lot of it too late. Uh, open ai is also automating and open sourcing instant checkouts with chat gpt Allowing all us customers to buy single item purchases from us etsy sellers and with more Shopify based sellers to come later. Oh, okay. So hold on a second people could buy an LTT screwdriver on chat gpt I don't know if they can yet And I don't know if this has to be like an opt-in thing. I would opt into that Why not? I'm not gonna lie. I mean if people are gonna give all of their information to open ai and open ai is going to Use it to advertise stuff on Shopify I wonder if you have to have an affiliate program for them. They probably wouldn't start that way But I wouldn't be surprised if I wouldn't be surprised if we got there. Yeah, or or if you had I mean Musk already said the quiet part out loud about xai where he was just like, yeah And wouldn't it be great if brands could just pay us to recommend their products? Remember that? Uh, so I wouldn't be surprised if that has been a very active conversation in the ai chatbot community Apparently you have to allow it from the Shopify side. I mean we we would definitely turn this on. So we should do that Yeah Comrades here. Hey, you can do it now Instant checkout isn't reaching into your wallet It's just adding a buy button and embedding the checkout process into your chat gpt chat for products that support it Instant checkout uses their agentech commerce protocol or acp Which was co-developed with stripe that makes sense Every step of the process requires explicit confirmations And payments are encrypted and only authorized for specific amounts. Okay. I'm waiting for a future where we have a listener bot of sorts in various live chats And then you announce some product on wanshow and people just type buy and it just does it Anyways moving forward actually I've got um a sort of semi maybe kind of related topic of conversation. So we've talked I think a fair bit in the past about buy now pay later schemas um and This came into my inbox earlier today Um blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Okay. So I I sent this to the cw team a few days ago about Shopify And yeah the chat gpt integrations and then um, I got I got an email from dave And he goes, uh, hey, so just following up with you um Oh wait Yes Okay. Yeah. Yeah. It looks like this is public. Okay. Sorry. I almost said something. I thought I might say something That's not public. Uh, so dave sent me this email. He goes. Hey following up per our Shopify contacts It sounds like their team is very slowly rolling access out to stores on a limited basis I oh wait. No, this is a different thing. Hold on. Uh, Do you want me to take it? Uh, yeah, I can't Paypal is enabling buy now pay later for like everything I don't even think it's opt-in or opt-out paypal is just like allowing this now Which does make sense in regards to how paypal works Um, and then Shopify as far as my understanding goes is doing an opt-in setup Where buy now pay pay later is not enabled by default but stores can opt into it Yeah, if we're being effectively forced into complying with this whole concept from paypal anyways Um What do you think we should do? I think that was effectively the question. Yeah Oh, yeah, here's my email. Why didn't I just read what my email From dave's email below related note both shop and paypal are pitching payment payment plan solutions for consumers Uh, paypal is rolling regardless of whether we market it shop is an opt-in Do you have any feelings about payment plans for customers? And what I said was luke and I have been pretty vocal critics of buy now pay later schemes on wancho It seems like we are being forced to have it at this point regardless Should we discuss on when what should be our policy regarding this tech? If it's supported through paypal anyway, should we provide customer choice on our site for how to engage with this payment method and Both luke and taren responded. So you do just want to say what you said Um, yeah, effectively. I didn't actually read your email yet. So oh Why do I even send them? Well, because I'm gonna read it eventually I was trolling um Yeah, I had a weird I had a not weird. I had a surprising encounter I was I was trolling about clarna, which is one of the more well known buy now pay later solutions You know buying a banana with clarna or whatever. Yeah, um, but but there's a ton of them It's not just clarna, but I was trolling about that in a chat that had a swedish A person living in sweden in it. Yeah, and that person pointed out like Hey, bro. It's actually like totally normal and kind of fine here I was like What and they just Apparently use it as a credit card replacement Yeah, and it's very normal and a lot of people just have debit cards and then they use clarna, which is a swedish company by the way Um, so it started there as a credit card replacement. Um, and delinquencies Linguin sees and defaults in like sweden and norway where it was originally popularized is like Way lower Than elsewhere just like have a different relationship with it and that maybe kind of just fall back on like I don't know I think our CEO tarin tong had probably the most based take on this He says credit cards are also onerous if you miss payments. We accept those My position is Be financially literate If you're using this to borrow money and don't have the ability to pay it off within terms You probably shouldn't be making the purchase my take on it was freedom reigns Let them do it if they want I don't I don't oh right. We never actually clarified the part about why we have some discomfort because The way that the relationship that people have some people have with these by now pay later schemes Is not a healthy one and it can seem to encourage Um unhealthy spending habits. There is literally people This is more common in the americas. Maybe not so common in sweden and norway and the world is not the same and yadda yadda yadda But there are apparently people that max out their credit cards Don't have any credit card room left And then go to something like carna and that's That's crazy terrifying Please know Uh people are saying carna will cut you off real quick if you don't pay. I have no idea I don't know. I don't like it as someone who had credit cards extremely normalized Which is a north american thing. Yep. This sounds just like bad extension of credit card Yeah, it sounds like I also understand it's different around the world. It sounds like uh Uh Why does it bother me because yeah, they both are functionally the same. They are both literally buy now pay later So maybe it maybe it's because I assume that I am buying something with a credit card So I assume there should be no reason that I need to buy now pay later Credit card does that make sense because it's like one month carna is mini month But see and that but that okay, but is that the difference? Well, hold on. There's two differences. Okay. Okay. Okay So through my north american lens Like literally almost nobody here Uses a debit card to pay for something online. Like I don't I don't I don't even know if we can You could use you have email money transfer There are there are ways to use Debit cards for online payments, but it's like really unnatural and yeah So so so functionally speaking if you're buying something online as a north american You are using a credit card or you are using your paypal account, which is probably linked to a credit card um Or can be linked to a bank account, but that from my understanding is Exceedingly uncommon compared to just using a credit card So maybe part of our ick around stuff like around buy now pay later like carna is that we assume That you're already using a credit card So there should be unless you are being financially very irresponsible No reason To use a buy now pay later scheme because you are already using a buy now pay later scheme my first Few exposures to it were discussions Where people were talking about how they can still order Things like uber eats even when they've maxed out their credit cards Those were the first few exposures I had to it not one Like all of them for like months And so then was people talking about that part of it too then could be Our our cultural experience of living in a place where credit cards themselves too are something to be treated Extremely cautiously where we know that they are not used responsibly and one of the reasons that is often cited For people to have trouble controlling their spending with a credit card is that it has no Like no discernible Change in weight or size when you use it, you know, like cash does Um, so it can be it can be hard for some people to keep track of it So to me something that you pay over an even longer period of time would seem to me to compound Potentially that I agree. It's like that whole thing where like oh you buy a you buy a couch And it's zero dollars down zero percent interest for three years It's like why does that model work? Because they're gonna get interest rushes people because it has a 30 interest when you don't have it paid off in three years You're gonna forget about it because it's three years later. And then you just get slammed people can afford 300 dollars for the couch they want now They can't afford three thousand dollars And instead of just buying a three hundred dollar couch They want the one that they can technically afford because they have an extra 300 bucks every month D Jenner in Floatplane chat says so you guys support the payment processors censoring game purchases It is not your responsibility to police the way other people spend money If I want to pay later to gamble, that's my issue. Just don't promote these things Well now hold on just a gosh darn second here because putting the logo on our website is promoting it So that's one thing And I'm so confused there is a degree of corporate responsibility For not engaging in things that have the potential to be predatory Right like the whole thing where a third party that was nothing to do with the transaction, right in those cases the payment processors were interfering and through outside influence groups were Putting their own moral values on a transaction that was taking place between the first two parties So we have a fourth party influencing a third party to influence the second party when you're just trying to buy something That is not the same thing Um at all that's not the same thing at all in this case We have two parties and one is deciding whether to implement a payment processor that can potentially Be harmful like I think that it's a very slippery slope to say well corporations should just Implement whatever and if people Can't use it responsibly then like whatever that's on them because I think as soon as we Start to say something like that well like why even have Warning labels on cigarettes because you know they're adults. It's their bodies. It's their right to do whatever they want it's like well like yeah, but The whole reason that we have warnings the whole reason that people get the ick around the mobile gaming industry for instance is that It's it can be very targeted. It can be very exploitative and We are aspiring here to not behave like that That's a good thing It's we're we're not we're not interfering in two other parties business and and pushing our own sort of moral value We're just trying to operate our business with integrity The the thing that kind of shifted my stance on a little bit was talking to um People in sweden essentially more than more than one I talked to a few and they're all like yeah, what are you even talking about? This is super normal And not just super normal. This is just like how you buy things um So you know, okay, I don't know I just was unaware and I think It still doesn't make me comfortable with it, but I'm also not completely comfortable with credit cards I mean, we've talked on wanshow about the insufficient fund errors on flow playing going up That's uncomfortable I don't like that don't do that and I think we just need to say the same thing about buy now pay later Which is like don't do it if you can't pay sooner than later Personally Because just because there are This this feels like geographical to me Because like literally like if I if I look up, um There Stay the path asks Uh lmfao. Thanks guys. I'm still not clear if canadians use credit at all question mark question mark question mark Like do you guys only buy stuff when you can pay for all of it up front right then? Yes That's not all canadians actually one of the reasons that there's a high degree of Awareness around this topic for us is that canadian household debt is I believe at an all-time high right now And it's a it's a it's a major issue for us as a as a as a canadian society to try to figure out how to How to tackle and shift our culture on but for I Speak for me and luke personally and I think I heard Dan pipe up back there, but I was not already aware of that for Dan What was that sorry 100 f***ing percent? Yeah, no, I have never made a discretionary purchase If I don't have cash you've got to be kidding me Yeah, and and I use credit cards for literally every purchase ever Yeah, me too and I always treat it like it's cash Yeah, yeah every purchase goes into a spreadsheet at the end of the month Absolutely and to be clear there are healthier types of loan like while While the housing market in vancouver was going gangbusters Like people would take the equity that they had built up in their home because the value had gone up so much And they might take some of that money out of it As an additional loan versus the mortgage they originally took out to you know Do a renovation on the house with the idea being that well the value of the property is going to go up so much Anyway, that by the time you sell it it's basically free real estate like there and and that was at a much lower interest rate Or like for example, my parents They often they had a line of credit that we would often have to use in august because they were both educators and weren't being paid in the summer and Some teachers do take on summer jobs, but they didn't they took care of us kids in the summer because they had five of us and so You know, yeah, we would dip into a line of credit from time to time But in terms of like like we're talking about credit cards and by now pay later here guys We're talking stuff with like crazy interest rates. Like I don't I don't I don't I don't want to give any financial institution a penny of interest if I don't have to Why would I just think the the thing buy a GPU later the thing that's shifting my mind Yeah, uh, the first shift was talking to swedish people and just being like, oh, okay interesting And then I started looking into it more and then I started Hearing people talk about the the the term by now pay later And it's just it's just credit with a different shirt on. Well, yeah Yeah, they're microloans basically, but that's what credit cards are. So like yeah I well, that's kind of why I said earlier like it's it one month versus like six months because you know visa pays for my purchases for less than a month or one month um, I guess Klarna is paying for your purchases for six months like I think it's the same thing I'm trying to figure out why I'm so put off by it. I think I think we are having the same sort of gut reaction Which is this month I have $3,000 to buy a GPU So I'm gonna buy that GPU because I have $3,000. I'll put it on my credit card. Um I would really like this GPU, but I only have $500. So I'm gonna split that over four months Mm-hmm You only have $500. Maybe you shouldn't buy that GPU. Maybe it's better to save or you should buy that GPU But you should buy it in four months after you have saved it up ahead of time Maybe they're trying to capture a deal something like that. I think the stuff like klarna for somebody like myself promotes Bad spending habits, and I think it's designed to promote bad spending habits because not necessarily this is more advanced than that Clarna's like sucralose whereas Um credit cards are sugar It's way easier to pay 20 bucks now than it is to pay 200 bucks and you pay 20 bucks On top of it. So your bills every single month blossom I see what Dan means where by the time you start to realize how deep you are in it Your you could be deeper in it. This happens with credit cards. Oh, yeah, it does and this is a does a more advanced version of that Hangs your dollars up front. No, I I totally understand what you're saying, but I also understand Dan's point This is just that but worse and and it's it's only worse. Hold on. It's only worse Because you understand it's the same it is but it's also could be worse. Okay, because we've got to understand that Not every person is going. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on Dan. Wait. Let me let me break through. All right He's got a bit of a mental block here. I knew I knew at this. I think I know what the problem is Okay, good. Good. So so the point that Dan is trying to make is that With a service that extends it by such a lengthy period of time There is a potentially such a long delay between when you made the initial decision And when the negative impact hits you that you may have had much more time to make compounding negative decisions In that time whereas your credit card bill arrives every month. So it's kind of like If you had multiple credit cards that you were using to pay each credit card And you only realized what a problem it was by the time your last credit card was due is I think what you're trying to say Dan Yeah, I get a credit card. It's about minimum payments, which is what like a lot of people do But you're paying off your clorna, but you're paying off your credit card. You're paying off your clorna Every single month I get this big bill. I pay off my big bill But when I'm looking at a purchase and I'm staring down this GPU and it's three thousand dollars I'm making a uh an internal decision. Do I really want to hand over three thousand dollars right now? If all of the purchases that I'm doing throughout the day are oh, this is only 20 bucks Right, my GPU only cost me a hundred dollars Um, and then I go to another store. Oh, this is only going to cost me a hundred dollars. This is only 50 bucks Oh, hold on my door dash instead of being 15 bucks that cost me two dollars And then Luke's point is it could be just as insidious if it's zero dollars. It's exactly the same thing Okay, they're not exact. No Minimum payments. It's about it's about the the I don't think everyone sees it the way that you happen to be seeing it depending on your psychological profile I think one or the other could absolutely be worse. Yes And so I think that's an important thing for us to all kind of capture here for sure And I think that my gut reaction came from I saw clorna as on top of credit cards Me which is maybe why I saw it as the the more evil of the two But I also see your point that if either are being used independently. They are functionally the same thing because With minimum payments. Yes, I get it the same thing I think they probably want us to move on but there's one more quick thing Ruker says come on Linus kids come out of college in six-figure debt So the difference there was I had a really great summer job I ran a painting business with a similar thing to college pro And so I came out of school with no debt So when I say I have I have saved up ahead of time for every major purchase in my life I do mean that and I've been very I've been very lucky to be able to do that. I was able to live at home While I was going to school that made a big difference. I mean I commuted four and a half hours a day or whatever So there were definitely, you know downsides Um, and I I got some help from my parents as well They paid for half of my first car if I recall correctly So that was a a couple thousand dollars actually it was a cheap car, but it was It moved from point A to point B, which is what I needed Um, there was more to the deal my mom was also going back for another degree And so like I I drove her as well as part of you know, like it was it was a multifaceted deal. The point is just that No, that is that is that is that is that is a thing saving up before you buy something is definitely a thing um And that was one of the reasons that I have and even continue to Shop second hand because it's cheaper and because then you like Don't have to save for as long the hunt is also kind of fun. The hunt is fun. Not everybody's into it Not everybody's into it Um Crystal says you also didn't finish college. You also live in a country where that's actually feasible not anymore So that's a that's a thing that's changed, right? And to be clear None of what I'm talking about had anything to do with student loan debt I didn't mention student loan debt That is something that depending on the program that you're going into depending on the return that you might expect from it could Make sense Yvonne's Education made a lot of sense Um, and one of the reasons that we were able to pay for her education was that I did drop out And I contributed to her education even though that probably didn't make sense for where we were at in our relationship at the time But she seemed like the one and it seemed like a good idea and it paid off just fine so Make of that what you will But it's uh Obviously a discussion that is uh creating a lot of Generating a lot of emotions in viewers right now And we were basically just looking to kind of take your temperature on this whole buy now pay later It seems like in general people are pretty aligned on What's the difference at this point? um So I don't know I Maybe we'll talk about it some more. Yeah angry panda. It's it's been an interesting discussion more to say if nothing else Yeah, maybe there is nothing more to say. I mean are you just You just are just like whatever at this point do a capitalism turn it on I don't I don't like Consumer choice That's kind of where I'm sitting. I don't like it But if you want to do it sure because you don't use credit cards. I use credit cards for everything I use credit card service archaic and Floatplane chat may have come into the conversation a little bit later And says you don't have a choice in taking credit cards And you don't have a choice if someone signs up for one But you do have a choice in enabling buy now pay later Someone could sign up for a predatory service because you offered it So you might have missed the part earlier in the conversation where we don't have a choice paypal is just Pushing it it will be enabled. That's it. So Buy now pay later will be enabled on our site regardless at this point Um, and that's the reason that we're even having the conversation. That's what sparked it. Yeah Uh All right, but it's also like I don't know if that's a This whole thing it comes down to perspectives because like I understand what you and Dan are saying But I think there is an archetype of person who won't see it that way. That's my core argument. Um That's the problem and and Sorry, that's the problem that they don't see it like that. No for sure That's why they end up in horrible cyclical debt forever Is like no a good thing at all and I think these these micro multi-month loan things Encourage that more than a credit card. I see I don't necessarily agree. But anyways, we're getting really cyclical But it doesn't matter because it's fine. It's going to it's going to be different for different people And I think that Dan can be right and you can also be right. I think so So I I think that so I'm trying to move on from there My point is that by having a checkout that shows that it's compatible with certain things. I think it's exactly the same right Because if you go I want this thing and then you try to buy it and it's like you can use these things to buy it I think it's exactly the same same as showing a clarinet button because if you're like, oh, I don't have one of these You can just look it up and have a credit card afterwards Yeah, um, I think that's reasonable. It's always interesting when we get the drop paypal suggestion So many people Literally the second we dropped paypal from our site. I guarantee you our customer support inbox would just be flooded with people asking Why the f*** we don't support paypal because now they have no way to buy anything from our store Surprising number of people. I didn't I didn't realize this paypal Is not a huge part of my life paying for things. I don't really use it Other than like corporately But some regions That they are super reliant on paypal. They're super into paypal And that's just the way it is not not taking paypal Would not be a good idea period it would just it would literally make customers mad for What would we accomplish paypal is Functionally a monopoly in their space. It's that would be like me refusing to engage with ticket master You know what? I'll just never go to a concert again because f*** ticket master And honestly that would be that would be a pretty based take at this point like If that was somebody's stance, I wouldn't be like I disagree I'd be like that's pretty cool, but also I like to go to concerts and stage plays and Stuff so I'm probably gonna have to buy from ticket master Um Yeah, speaking of um, how money makes the world go around Uh, the show's brought to you by squarespace Is your website looking like it's from the 90s kind of like this vr experience I was having Man that thing was wild.

Oh, I see I see it doesn't matter if they accept it or not They bought them Okay, I uh, I don't want to talk to you guys about this anymore and I don't think chat wants to hear you talk about it anymore either So, why don't we talk about oh god, I have to scroll over the open a I went off Minimize that let's not talk about that Uh, why don't we why don't we look at this cool? Um, um an lttv. Yeah a backpack commercial. There is something good Wait go back This is so cool. Just I don't know I made this about a year ago says mean ad 93 78 It's just been sitting on my like the house lick was that transition. Sorry It's just been sitting on my laptop ever since thought I'd share it with y'all It's no masterpiece But thought it'd be better if it was seen by someone rather than sitting on my hard drive forever Let me know what you think if it sucks. Tell me it sucks. It was just a project to keep me busy at the time So no hard feelings so cool That's all I have to say about that just thought we'd uh, you know change the tone a little bit here Uh, what else we got? Ah, yes, ASUS is rolling out fixes for rg laptops Users have been complaining about stuttering issues on ASUS laptops and rg has released a beta BIOS update on september 26th To remedy these issues currently it is a beta But there are plans for a finalized release in hopefully early october And our discussion question here for mr. Adam sondergaard is how does this response from ASUS compared to their responses to customer complaints in the past? Surprisingly quick All things considered. I mean it was two weeks ago that um, oh man. I'm sorry. I forget the name but um developer developer buddy Sort of highlighted what what he thought were the problems with their With their firmware. So What did I just press? Oh, I pressed this one. Whatever. No big deal. It seems I don't remember his name either Yeah, I'm not too worried about it at the moment, but uh, why don't we do uh, oh, this is cool pc games hardware dot de Tested 180 I don't know. I don't read german. So whatever. Uh, I tested 180 Oh, okay. Well, apparently that was the wrong one. Uh, cool. Uh, tested 180 games across four benchmarks Just in case you were curious How an rtx 49 180 150 cards not games. Sorry 180 gpus. Did I say games? I'm sorry 180 gpus across four benchmarks in case you wanted to know how an rtx 50 90 compares to Say a Radeon hd 57 50 Of this is super cool. You guys should go check it out One of the top up voted comments on this was this is the sort of work that lab should be doing With one of the top up voted replies to that being no, they shouldn't this is stupid I agree with the top comment This is exactly the sort of thing that I would love for Labs to be able to do once we've got our testing automation Really nailed down which is going to be a hot minute, which we don't yet and it's going to take some time Quite a bit of time, but I am more than willing to keep shoveling that time on money into the furnace Clarina time the the money furnace And that's what we use to heat our buildings in the winter Um And and I I want to make I want to make this happen I want to make it like interactive with some of the cool features that the Labs website has been working on Or the Labs web team has been working on over the last little while like Oh, oh, we had we had a topic called there's so much happening at Labs. Sure do. Oh, okay We weren't showing any new features. So so give we'll get to that in a second. There's technically a feature But like with all the comparison stuff with our ideas for like bringing your own price Um so that you can compare like used stuff works. We just need more gps on the site, but those are coming Yeah, let's go. So yeah, no, I I I want to do it But we're gonna have to have Like like a a test farm In order to to test at that kind of scale and I'm I'm here for it. I'm excited It's gonna be a while But it's coming Okay, is it time to talk about the articles. Okay. Sure. Yeah, there's been a lot of articles On the lab site recently And some people have actually noticed we've gotten a bunch of views specifically on this one from lucas the iPhone 17 series test results, which is a companion article and I do want to show off that feature. So if I'm on the Say main page and I see these latest articles on the side I can check out the different tags that they have so the iPhone 17 series has ShortCircuit companion So if I click on that Well, there's one The beta site has more than one That's a teaser. I guess but I'm used to that being more than one I can go to investigative and see that we have all these articles that are tagged with investigative And as we keep going we're going to try to keep on having more So you can kind of sort through things nicely, but the iPhone 17 series test results is great if you want to dive further into the iPhone than the Video did in regards to performance and results and whatnot This one was really fun. There was a quote from Linus Where he said this graphics processing unit has functionally zero support for graphics processing No vulcan no directx and no open gl to speak of and that sparked Nick and jesse to to work on the why are these called graphics cards article, which I thought was A brilliant idea for something to write and it's Long and very interesting and I think you should check it out if that Sparks your interest and then there's is there a question at the bottom here? Yeah, we'd love to hear thoughts on the lcd forum and there's a little thread there So maybe check it out Thread there on the h200 to be clear and then there is the newest one. This came out six hours ago And this is the Intel arc pro b50 your workstation deserves nice things too And this dies over the b50 card. There are some stats in here in the table for like the b60, but we don't have a b60 We are interested in Intel's battle matrix thing because this looks sick and that would be b60s, but maybe another day. Maybe another time This article is kind of fun. There's memes. It's cool. Check it out But yeah, we are we have been pumping some articles on the lab site and they are Pretty neat pretty cool. So consider checking those out the iphone 17 article got a lot of traffic from like Suggestions and google and external sources not just people going to it, which was neat our highest click through Lately that isn't just google search has been Not the youtube channel Really, I think I told you about this already. Maybe not in those terms. He told me the click through was good Well, yeah, but it's uh, it's hacker news We've had more clicks from hacker news than the Linus tech tips or ShortCircuit youtube channels Even both of those combined as far as my understanding goes. It's been a lot more from hacker news, which has been pretty sick So that's cool. I don't know necessarily what hacker news wants to know about things But considering they're driving a decent amount of our traffic at this point Um, if you're a frequenter of hacker news, maybe ask us some questions or something I don't know. We'll keep we'll keep working on stuff at this point The goal for Labs in regards to articles is that if we think something is interesting or we ask a question Or if we see someone else ask an interesting question We just want to do it and if that ends up becoming a video sweet and if it doesn't Cool, we have an article on it because one of the big goals is to just Expand the knowledge base within Labs and make it so that reading Labs articles is like a fun interesting, uh, you know Keeping up with what's happening in tech thing for you to do and not keeping up with what's happening in tech in regards to just like news and announcements, but Knowledge and learning and those those fun things. So yeah Keep keep checking those out. We like writing those. We like your feedback We don't have comments on the site yet, but we generally use the forum as a feedback vector. So Do that, um Yeah, that's basically that whole topic. I just wanted to show those articles cool um man How did we start out with I don't think we have enough For the show today and then it's every time all man free time. This is wild So red dot is an app that crowd sources and allows users to uh, wait Uh, oh, yeah crowd sources and allows users to report sightings of ice officials in the us Uh, google made a statement to 404 media claiming that it removed apps Sharing the location of ice officials because they are a vulnerable group Ice block was the first one to be removed from the app store Apple made the move after receiving pressure from the u.s. Department of Justice following an attack that was made on an ice facility injuring detainees google gave a statement to engadget that they never had ice block on their platform But removed similar apps anyway for violations of their policies Besides the recent attack google clarified that these apps didn't appropriately moderate user-generated content red dot claimed that their app aggregates reports from multiple trusted sources alongside user-generated content to determine which locations should be marked with activity However, the app developers asserted they do not track any individual person's movements And they reject harassment interference or harm towards ice agents or anyone else It remains to be seen whether any of the removed apps will be allowed back on either platform. Um, it's been very interesting to watch the A discourse around this and how it has changed Now that it is um Ice agents rather than chinese authorities in hong kong I will leave it there No, I won't quite leave it there. There was a lot of discussion around how Apple bending the knee to china um By removing apps that allowed protesters to figure out where chinese authority crackdowns were happening was um anti free speech anti american all that Um, and for some reason it's an extremely different conversation here um I'm not saying I don't think I'll take a position on Whether these apps should that allow tracking of you know, law enforcement in near real time Should exist on either platform. That's not really that's not really my role right now or here All I really ask for is some consistency If you're going to take a principled stand on something then you should take a principled stand equally if it's in some other country Or if it's in your own That's all Oh, no more ai stuff. Do we have to there's a lot of stuff in the dock. Can we just not? um Yeah, let's just not Oh god med is going to use your ai chat history to serve you even more targeted. I mean that's kind of a given Uh, you know what? I'm just going to take it. I'm going to get rid of it. Yep. Okay. It's gone now now. I don't have to know Okay Did we do the uk demands backdoor access to apple cloud storage again? Oh sure go for it ours technica reports a new order from the uk home Office has demanded a backdoor to apple's encrypted cloud storage, but just for uk citizens this time This follows a january order that sought global access to encrypted user data and caused diplomatic issues with the us It was announced in august that the uk had agreed to drop the demand in regards to american citizens But the logic appeared to be that any backdoor would weaken protections for us citizens apple repeated last week We have never built a backdoor or master key to any of our products or services and we never will Our discussion question is on a scale of one to ten how surveillance state do you consider the uk? I don't live there. So I am I don't keep up with uk news nearly as closely as I do with Canadian news and our nearest neighbor news Um, so I I'm not even gonna. I'm not even going to begin to wade into that one other than to say that a lot of what we've seen doesn't look great Yeah, yeah, I think that's fair to say Oh, uh, we did the testing GPU's Yeah AI stuff AI brain robot thing I think us free western democracies need to really take a long hard look in the mirror and ask ourselves How different we are from what the heck we're doing authoritarian states that we for so long Um Turned up our noses that There i'll say that much too all right What do you want to talk about? There's only really one topic left if we want to do it and it's another AI one. I'm over it It's the body agnostic AI brain robot thing. Okay. It's pretty cool To demo their body agnostic AI brain company demos Is the name demos? Robots oh company demos robots relearning how to walk after being dismembered by a chainsaw Pretty cool. Wow. Yeah, they're just like people instead of training one model for one robot skilled Dot AI created a universe with 100 000 robots and used the same model to train them all for a simulated millennia worth of time cool Now when the brain is popped into a new body it can adapt to whatever that body might be a major benefit They showcase in the video is that it could adapt to modifications to whatever body it inhabits Even on robots that it had not previously been trained on It's pretty cool. That is pretty neat I don't think they needed to use a chainsaw on now, but it's it's so they're vulnerable again It got clicks for sure. Yeah. Yeah. I got us to talk about it. Yeah Good job marketing team. Yeah, pretty cool. Hopefully for your sake, they don't kill you first Okay, he'll be first. Thanks, Luke One of these days we're going to do the all positive news when show But it is not that day I'm scared I'm in danger. Well, you know, you don't like that you could like Shoot it. It's like it's like a zombie at that point. It doesn't have to stop. Yeah Yeah, I thought that that's sort of yeah, I mean, dude, it's like lower accurate video game though There's this is where where they were going to shoot the red thing They're gonna learn I'm playing the new final fantasy tactics remaster. Oh, I'm enjoying it it's actually really good timing for it to come out because I have to uh Start getting some time in with the uh xbox lax You had issues with the final fantasy six remaster. Well, that was just like the okay So they're relatively minor ones, but you had very different things. No final fantasy It's pixel remaster. It's functionally the same game, but like How do I put this you're saying tactics is functionally the same game? Well, okay so final fantasy six pixel remaster was like a coat of paint and um A newer translation. I don't prefer both of which are also true of the final fantasy tactics remaster but with final fantasy six there were um Like game balance issues like it felt like the like the tick rate wasn't right or something on certain abilities and um like I don't know. There were things that didn't seem quite right overall was really good But if I was to play through it again again again, I would probably just play the SNES cart As for our tactics so far. It's looking pretty good. I'm playing the new remastered one Are you looking this up? I'm playing the new remastered one, but it comes with the original as well and the The director for the remaster is actually the director of the original game So even some new content that was added in the advanced port of it The gameboy advanced port of it has been removed because it was like not part of the original game Is it the ivelice chronicles? Um ivelice Yeah, ivelice ivelice ivelice. I think I I originally played the game with no voice acting. So I don't actually the voice acting is really cool I don't really use it because I like to Skip quickly through things. So what I generally do with jrpgs is like this is my new my new technique Is I switch the language over to japanese which I don't speak And so that way I can hear the intonation for as long as it goes And then I can cut it off mid-sentence and I'll never know the difference Okay, so you said it comes packaged with the original Is this like in the pixel remastered when I could press a button and it would Switch graphic styles between or is it two launchers? There's two two games in the launcher Oh, I see and it just has a lot of little creature comforts. I don't love some aspects of the interface There's a little bit more delay like if you want to rip through menus not cheap you can't there's a bit of delay on them and like the off the menu for Learning new job abilities and assigning them Those are in two completely different places for reasons that I'm not quite sure that I fully understand So hopefully these are things that they can continue to fine-tune over time but little creature comforts like being able to press the right button to quickly Navigate through cutscenes It's like a lifesaver because some of them are really long in this game And I don't think the original had any way to fast forward or skip them There's I would say better camera controls Graphics look a little nicer. Yeah An oddly big maybe not that odd an oddly big thing for me with remasters is Are the controls more modern? Definitely because some of the some of the old controls for things are brutal. Well tactics was for ps1 I mean analog sticks were not a given. Yeah, right, so Being able to use a stick for the camera control compared to I believe it was left and right R1 r2 to rotate the camera on on the ps1 version. Yeah, it's an improvement There's there's no official announcement as far as my understanding goes, but there's like Very extensive reputable leaks that there's going to be a soundscreen black flag remaster You'd play it. Mm-hmm. You'd play the heck out of that I Don't think you'd 100% it. No, I never 100% of the first one. There was one assassin's creed. You did. Hold on. Hold on. Don't tell me Two there was three that I did. All right. Did you 100% assassin's creed two? Yep Okay, then I got it at least one and you're still kind of actually entirely right because it was two Two brotherhood and two ascension. Nice Nice I got my luke lore like mostly down That's pretty deep lore too. I don't think we've talked about assassin's creed two since we're sitting on the coach at the Langley house That honestly sounds accurate I think it's time for after dark should we do this thing Uh, remember when after dark was like a cheeky name for when the wandshow ran really late and it had gotten dark outside Now it's a given and it's always dark outside of the end of wandshow. How did this happen? What did you do Dan? I don't know. I don't know. I'm I'm I'm solely I'm solely responsible for your scheduling Day in and day out as well as our Keeping you on topic. Yeah way to be All right after dark hit me with a merge message. I gotta push another button in dance defense question mark, uh We didn't get to start the show today until rather late. Okay. I was doing something very important I'm gonna be traveling next week and I Um, are you away for when? No, okay, cool. Yeah, I'm just going down a bit summit. Um, so I was away next I'm gonna be away next week and so I wasn't gonna have a chance to Shoot a video that was like it was a quick one for me to write it took me like a couple hours But I still needed a couple hours to write it and it's something that we need to address I feel quite urgently and I didn't want to wait Another week to be able to film it once I'm back Um, it's addressing the issue around youtube members only videos on our channel and um, I think They got to go and so I Rather than us just Joinking them with no communication. I wanted us to have a very clear statement So I wrote something up and then I uh, did like a quick quick Almost like peer review for the script with uh, james and then jordan also had a look at it And then I quickly shot it before when but it did take me a little bit of time Do you have a way to export? The Whoa, is this even okay? I'll figure out if it's okay after do you have a way to export? Uh, the email list of all your members. No All right, heavens. No, I mean youtube That's the whole point of them controlling every aspect of the platform I was gonna say we could offer them like a free month on full plate or something So get them started. I don't think we'd really have a way of doing that Do we have the ability to offer a free month or would that be like manual? Uh, we can do that if we have like a You know excel sheet. Oh, I see. Okay All right, but we never mind. We'd want all their we need all their emails Yeah, I thought we like had free trials as a mechanism now, but no, okay. Yeah, okay Emerge messages Yeah, get me Linus is have on into the braces also any tips for someone switching to grafino is heavens no She like didn't want to kiss me for a while because she was afraid I'd like, you know rip her lip off Um, yeah, any excuse I guess Damn Who are you kissing Dan I guess the unemployment line after that I should say the same amount of people as you there you go Give me a second. Give me a second Late I'm slow jerosul says line is too mean Hey, I started it Oh, man hot pond cracker says Yvonne likes to pick the food out. No, she definitely doesn't Definitely not does that happen. Is that a problem? I can no no I would I would definitely not go anywhere near her mouth with these unless they were clean I I I believe in I believe in personal hygiene. Did you mean like does food get lodged? Yeah, like are they difficult to like keep clean? I could probably get like a one inch like section of noodle stuck in them. Like it's it's horrible Yeah, because I was gonna say when I had braces I was absolutely a thing um Oh as for graphing os I'd say I'd say Graphine os so we have I actually shot that video today too The the switch dude it has like the funniest intro. I think we've shot and probably At least a month maybe like six months. It's so funny It's start I'm I'm just like talking about graphing os and I like Notice someone coming after me and then I go and I like try I'm about to like try to steal a motorcycle and then like I get arrested And then I'm like taking my mug shot because the the title of the video is going to be I tried the criminals Choice the criminals phone of choice for a month um But everything that I'm saying is just totally straight faced Like about graphing os and and we almost immediately addressed that there's lots of reasons to be into graphing os outside of if you're You know and never do well, but yeah It ends up the Jordan wrote this hilarious thing. It's like the you know Whether you're just really into privacy or you're an air duel or you stub your toe running from the police or something like that So I like stub my toe and like wipe out and I'm like like peter griffin graphing os like I don't know we uh, we put Jordan in one of those hilarious like british style cop. Oh, it was so cute and it like It was adorable. It's like 40 the size it needs to be for his head so tiny And then we have him like pushing me down into the cop car. I like hit my head and you know like, yeah, I don't know It's really funny Um should be good. Anyway, my tip would be do it at a time when you're gonna be If you're not super technical like super super technical, you don't adb all the things Um, I would say do it at a time when you're gonna be off for like a couple days on a long weekend or something So that you have a bit of time for your side quests because there's gonna be some side quests You're not going to just immediately start smoothly daily driving it and everything works exactly the way that you expected to That doesn't mean that it's bad in any way Super cool and for a lot of people not for everyone But just give yourself a bit of extra time to get it set up. That's what I would say Hello Linus the tech and the tips winky face I was recently watching an older ldd video and I was reminded that Linus hates monitor light bars What are some other objectively wrong opinions you hold? You're asking me to determine which things I believe are wrong That's tough Luke, maybe you could tell me something that I Am objectively wrong about I don't think you're objectively wrong about monitor bars. So That's gonna be tough You agree on a lot of stuff Yeah, I'm sure there's something there. I that's actually a really fun one How often I see people talk about what an idiot I am and how someone sensible like Luke could hang around with me for so long I think that means that Luke is also not sensible then By proxy Oh, no, wait, hold on the internet always says that Luke is right about everything. Yeah, it's it's it's really interesting to watch how often um, Luke is right when actually Pretty aligned on like a lot of stuff the most annoying thing for me is when like we will battle about something And people are like, oh, yeah And then a month later, I agree with you on something and they're like, what a You won't you won't stand up for himself. It's definitely Linus obviously holds so much Financial sway over him that he can't disagree. Maybe I thought it was fine. I don't know I don't know. Maybe they're maybe their professional body language analysts Like I don't know man, and they can use little snippets from wancho to determine your innermost thoughts. What are you objectively wrong about? Objectively wrong about I gotta be Uh, I mean, I'm sure I'm wrong about lots of stuff. I just can't think it's just so it's so hard to Think of something that you believe is right That is objectively wrong because obviously if I thought it was objectively wrong, I would What is a controversial take that you have? I don't know. We could go with like ad block piracy that I agree with that um I also agree with the core reference of it, which is like you can just be okay with that and that's fine. Yeah um I think this is just hamburgers versus hot dogs. There's also been a really there's I mean There's been a really interesting new development in that whole that whole take when we had the the the viewpocalypse a few weeks back yeah, where Disproportionately, I don't think that's a development tech channels with well. No, but it's a way that we can objectively say Okay. Yeah, there is a clear impact here. Yeah tech channels with tech savvy audiences were disproportionately impacted by view count Changes that allegedly were caused by um, something to do with ad blocking. I thought it was interesting because like this is obvious, but I just like never really thought about it. It's always been talked about how cpms and tech are really low Yeah During that period considering and tech considering how affluent And the ages the demographics of the audience spend Yeah, and how they're often kind of based around shopping reviews of products you might buy Yeah, but cpms and tech are really low and then suddenly that happens and cpms and tech are not low anymore Because revenues stayed the same but the views went down So your cpm reflective of only the viewers that had no ad blocking. Yeah cpms went way way up Yeah, so if if nobody was running ad block tech cpms would be really good Um, well, I don't know if I want to say really good. There's some sectors on youtube that are crazy like finance and whatever else But dude, they'd be much healthier. I'd say that Up next yeah, I don't know chat's not getting too much work with you either. I thought chat was gonna team me up I thought you guys were gonna hit me with this like bring it on But we're not making a Linus town is not objectively wrong. That is not inevitable and I am not wrong for Not making a new christmas album. It was awful. It was so awful Uh, it was just oh god. It was awful. I think we should I think we should make a new christmas album You can't say i'm objectively wrong Yeah, I don't I don't think that's objectively and sell it on the forum again Okay, that's objectively wrong objectively. I think it wraps around to be better Uh, we should just move on I don't think we should move on I there there are I guarantee you there are things I think this of I'm just can't think of it right now should post them on lab's website Just have a look at the wrong blog As experienced youtube creators often many channels have the same sponsor in which I am interested Though whose link should I buy? Through whose link should I buy what? Supports creators more which channels get paid more what supports creators more So, okay, um affiliate links right basically you choose Oh, man, that's a personal choice. I although I think there's different ways you could go about it So you basically the question is you watch a bunch of different creators. They all have Referral links for the same product or service sure planning to buy so you're gonna buy a laptop I'd say you could you could do it a number of different ways You could do it based on just who you like the best You could do it based on who you've gotten the most value out of over the years But I personally I lean away from those two. I lean more towards Who had the best pitch who had the most interesting pitch that you felt? Conveyed the value of the product really well, um, but didn't mislead or overhype it And I I think I would I think I would take a what have you done for me lately sort of approach and go with Yeah, who had the best pitch who who put a bit of extra work into Into doing the read. I think that would be a pretty okay way to do it But also the other two are are perfectly reasonable Yeah, I don't know. I think it's a pretty good answer. I don't really understand the uh Like what makes some more money or what crater makes more money thing Oh, I see that wasn't an additional question. That was a factor of the first. Okay, I get it. Okay great Nate finally got one obviously My name being Linus is objectively wrong because it's because Linus Torvalds pronounces it away cooler. My first name is English. My last name is French. So your name is objectively wrong. Yeah Yeah, two objectively wrongs make a right No, but three lefts do two elves do make a w Yeah, that's pretty good and your name has to I could do shape recognition Where does the two elves make a w thing come from because I know I've done it But did that does that have an origin? Probably do I get any do I get credit for that? I'm not sure. I doubt it. Is that a thing? I don't know I'm sure it was a thing. It's got to be a thing, right? Yeah You're objectively wrong for thinking that you get credit for that maybe Hey, I saw you. I saw you. I saw that flash. I saw the flash on the stream dad It was on there for a while. I saw what you did. I saw you do it again because it's a push button. Yeah, I know I could just hold it and then when you release it appears. Hey, dear little watching from japan question four Oh Scappard war season four. What about it? from japan Yours was worse painting a silver case silver as lame You're objectively wrong You painted a silver case silver Mine was on fire, dude. Okay mine was on fire literally or figuratively at scab yard words. I don't know literally. Oh, that's way better I resources of fire. I painted I should think bob painted but someone on my team painted that case Silver because it was in what color did it start us? A different silver that was an extremely poor condition very creative extremely poor condition very creative of you There were budgetary constraints, which you well know. That's part of scrappard wars. It's weird purchased silver paint I believe so. Actually, maybe it was all we had. I you know, that was a very long time ago I'm amazed yours. Maybe it's because you haven't won lately that you're so hung up on Back then I was way ahead. Is that is that I like this? It makes me feel just because you don't have any recent victories to rub in my face. I uh No, it's just because your builds sucked and it's like it sucks that judging can can be so bias when you pay them You know for a fact that Internally and in the audience Nobody roots for me just because I run the company I I think it must have you know this. I think it must have that season because there is no way I will never let this die. That was There has been ones that I was kind of surprised by didn't necessarily agree with whatever Maybe some cheating involved this one. No just bull spit just trash bull. This one was trash bull spit Did I win did I win that one do one season four? I don't even remember I've won so many especially recently that I can hardly makes no sense at all. I can hardly recall anymore I think you're only actually like tied with me now and you're talking so much smack I'm only doing it because I know it bothers you so much. It's so trash. He's actually so upset I'm trying to find your basic boring How much is it? I'm working. I got it already. I got it already. Leg bouncing right now. I got it already Oh, yeah, he's angry Okay, so here's our judges Uh, hold on. Where is okay. So where's my machine? So, oh look a silver computer versus one that's on fire in the background with pistons on it Yeah, you you Doesn't seem very practical you put the stuff in pistons. I did Uh, I'm not gonna ding that. Okay. Hold on. Yeah Okay, man, we never Freakin scrapyard worse, man. We like What do the systems look like? Oh, hold on Man, it's amazing that we're a video production company. It's still on fire. It didn't have to be on fire Burn for that fuel a long time. Yeah. It was like a tiki thing. It was stupid You didn't have to have it on fire. It was able to be not on fire. How did we go from this? to The finale without actually seeing the damn systems Wow, you know how it ends here. Hold on. I think I can see how it ends here. Oh, what was this? Wait, you guys won. What are you even talking about? What are you even mad about? I don't think so Oh, no, we won. Wow by point eight. No wonder you're mad. Yeah garbage And on your home turf too. Yeah, my parents were we were in Luke's parents garage and he had to lose there. Oh, that's rough, dude I feel bad for you. Yeah, well, it's a scam It's just actually a scam. I don't feel bad for it. I got a clarinet You still playing the off the interest here Okay I am I'm this was good. I like this emotional debt. I like this concept with having to watch the judges look at them and us just being a reaction cam though Yeah Why do you have a before that's stupid? You can't show the before of what it I don't know what the before is out. Did we do that? I don't remember that at all Apparently, I think you were just showing off that you had extra hardware Maybe if you'd spent all of the money on the hardware you actually presented to the judges, you might have won We probably if we did we probably got it for free. I think we were pretty scrappy that season Yeah, and I don't think anyone had introduced the meta of selling stuff yet. I don't think so I think that was the jane dimitri That might be right I think that's when that started. Okay, so hold on. Oh, look how classy this machine looks though boring, dude But look how classy it is. It looks like it came off a shelf at a store Except it didn't Except it didn't it was yeah, I imagine doing all that work to make it look normal It was so garbage before we got it and now look how like class it looks water cooled Liquid cooled that's custom by the way that custom liquid cooling It was an aio and then we used clear tubing to make it not an aio I didn't want to bake some just so bored looking at that boring computer Wow Anyways, we can move on Hey, dear law watching from japan question for luke. I'm a lead. I just start up using float planes stack How strictly do you enforce folder file structure linting and code consistency versus shipping fast first more so first one then the other Shipping fast for a long time and then Realizing. Yeah We we do a lot more now I you didn't say tests or test driven development. We don't go that far Well, we do we do have some tests, but we don't do test driven development or or 100 test coverage or anything like that Far from it really but and I I think that's fine. Do you lint? Yes, and we are Slowly improving that over time. I know jaden's doing a ton of work right now trying to Uh get like some of the last bits fully properly linted Which will be nice will be good and Then from there on we should be able to continue with 100 linted code. Um, that's been a Many years long project because it's been one of those things where like just we we never pursued 100 all at once We would do like okay. We're going to work on this project that touches this part of the code base We will lint this part of the code base and then we move along and it just ends up being like a little adder onto feature requests which allowed us to Keep releasing things that would either make you know creators or users or or developers or whatever happy um But progressing on this goal at the same time Um, and a lot of that has been driven by jaden. He's been doing great with it. So That's where we're at with that Yeah What technology do you feel is taken for granted and underrated in 2025? Honestly almost all of it. I think it is. Oh hell, yeah I think it's as much as it pains me that a top of the line GPU for like consumer grade GPU It starts at two thousand us dollars and goes up to three thousand us dollars Like if you showed that to someone When I was a kid Like if you and and as much as modern games aren't optimized enough and the developers are lazy like Dude, if you showed uh, well, what was the what was it borderlands for that's been under fire lately? If you showed borderlands for to me when I was a kid I would think you were god like I I wouldn't even I wouldn't even be able to fully comprehend what I was looking at. I um, I think we've gotten extremely um Entitled when it comes to the the the the technology that we just Well take for granted. That was the question Uh, I think I think we take it for granted. That doesn't mean that as consumers. We shouldn't demand better I mean, I was pretty upset when apple made the airpods pro 3 Downgraded from the airpods pro 2 in some key ways that mattered a lot to me. We should we should definitely You know hold trillion dollar companies accountable when they Do things that make their products worse or make our lives worse um But broadly speaking Yeah, I think I think we just kind of take for granted that there's a computer in our pocket and another one on our wrist And another one in our backpack and another one on our desk at home like dude Entire families had one pc and that was when you were doing really well when I was a kid, you know So all of it Technology is so cool, man Like freaking like ever just like hold a CPU and go like Oh my god Like there's physical features in this That are built literally on a scale of like actual atoms Oh my god. How is this attainable at something even remotely approaching a consumer price? How is this not exclusive to world governments? Like it's it's amazing. You started going into it, but I was going to specifically say cpus. Yeah, or like I you know Silicon based processors. Yeah, anything a microprocessor or whatever. It's The manufacturing that goes into them and then the fact that you can buy them for like a few hundred dollars. Yeah It's a few hundred dollars, but what goes into it is Billions of dollars like the craziest thing humans have done And then it's like a consumer good like that's wild amazing that it ever achieved such scale To be able to reach the economies we have today at all and with with remarkable asml and all these guys the the ramp of The process involved is nuts like back in the day they dip wafers by hand into chemical baths and like it was this it was this like Very sciencey kind of process and now you have just these boxes of mystery and Amazing science comes out the other end and there isn't even anyone in the room like Whoa incredible Uh ninja van away says uh the the air pods pro 3 reaction caused quite a stir in the audiophile community um, yeah sure did And uh, apparently critical uploaded a video today Um ninja man says yeah, I saw that video. It was wild. There was no pushback on crane for essentially what dms and Linus said That's hilarious. I I actually I haven't had a chance to check out chronicles video yet. I'll have to I'll have to watch it Oh well The most important question did you get alex's invitation to jam some tape to tape? Uh, oh that being that's that that's my invitation We actually we played for the first time like I think like a week before he left or something like that And on his last day, I was like we should play tape to tape. I haven't played alex I haven't played any tape to tape lately work's been busy, which I'm sure is relatable Based on your but yes, I'm down. Okay Based on your metrics on youtube or flow plane What's the weirdest type of device someone has used to watch LTT? I don't know if we would really have a ton of insight. We see browser, but if I remember correctly We joked about this a long time ago And then people did a fridge and a ds or something nice Um ds is pretty good. I'm I'm taking ds That's sick. I think that was it Yeah Sorry was replying to one here one second Yeah, crystal. I played a week ago at a LAN. I was playing with local people. Come on. Yeah, it doesn't count Hey, when considering NVIDIA's recent buy-in of Intel What's your take on the long-term prospects of arc? Do you still have hope for arc as a potential competition for AMD and NVIDIA in discrete GPU market? I mean, I'm hoping for the best man. I might my take hasn't really changed on all of this back when I said This is not financial advice and it's especially not financial advice today But I think long Intel is a good bet That wouldn't have paid off as well as NVIDIA back when I said it But the reasons that I gave for very very long Intel were many of them still valid today I said I believed in pat's vision. Unfortunately, that one's not valid but all the other things that I brought up around the geopolitical importance of Intel being Functionally the only non-southeast asian Cutting edge semiconductor manufacturer have actually Come to be true. I mean Literally the u.s. government put billions of dollars into Intel to make sure that china can't just Take a little robo to cross that tiny little strip of water and Completely invalidate any attempts at u.s. Sanctions on semiconductor products forever more um Yeah, every yeah every everything I said then was still true except for I believe in pat's vision and now I just Now I just have no idea what the vision is I'm still hoping that arc will will will stick around But I I can't I yeah, I can't um I really hope arc discreet arc sticks around and I mean with ai being what it is um Hope I man Do I hope the bubble lasts for long enough for Intel to like maybe make a little bit of money on arc GPU's for ai? Yo like battle matrix, dude battle matrix super cool Uh I hope so man I hope that ai gives it a reason for them to keep putting money into it long enough that the gaming cards can reach a break even point where just If at we're at the very least they can just ignore it and it can keep doing its thing in the corner That'll be awesome. That that's my best. That's my they're gonna have to get off of zero percent market share Yeah, they'll have to do that. Um, okay. Hey, is it time for our weekly arc watch? Let's go arc watch I don't think for this the invidia Investment thing is going to change the path for arc GPU's If arc GPU's no longer become a thing I don't think it's going to be because of that and I really really really hope that they continue being a thing This is big dumb. This is misleading. This is not 90 dollars off the msrp of the arc b580 is 250 dollars, but You can buy an onyx odyssey arc b580 for 249 dollars and 99 cents And you can pay in four interest free payments of 62 50 I I am throwing back to an earlier conversation on the show That is not a suggestion. That is not Not a recommendation, but if you have 250 dollars in your pocket right now And if you need a pretty dease 1440p or really excellent 1080p gaming GPU and if you want to be a crazy person and have lossless scaling stuff going on Free 3d mark Definitely not as good as that battlefield deal, but that was a crazy deal. That was a really good deal Uh, what else we got as rock has one for 269 99 if you want pretty close It has 50 more fans for only, you know, eight percent more dollars. So I guess that's a deal Um, oh wow those, uh, those reference cards are Not available first party from new egg. Remember that one was going during Intel gamer deals They had like like a thousand of them were in the car or something like that. Yeah, whatever it was. Um Man, I can't believe we're doing this again without me figuring out if we have a uh, if we have a new egg affiliate Remember we probably sold like a thousand GPU's that one wancho and I was like, hey Do we have an affiliate link and then I was like, I should look that up. Let's do that every week. Yeah Yeah, so I got one part of it. I got the part where we just do this every week I didn't get the part where we make any money But you know what? It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter because you can get an asrock challenger b580 for 259 99 and Check out game sale. That's not a deal. Don't forget your os get this out of here. The point is arc 259 99 249 99 you can buy one right now. I really really want Intel to survive We need somebody to keep NVIDIA honest and AMD is clearly not Up to the challenge Hi, lld finally got calios sg 10 copper edition case. That's the fanless one Um, do you have any tips and recommendations for building in it? Have fun Dude, it's It's so cool. Take your time Go slow. It's really heavy. Don't be go into it Fully understanding like I would build the whole thing and then I would make the assumption That when I'm done building I'm going to want to tear it all down and do it again with everything I learned to the first time because it really is not a for beginners build They're doing that open the cable management. It's got to be crazy. Oh, and everything about it is is crazy. It's really cool And last one I got for you today. Hey Linus for kids Do you recommend an apple watch in canada the plan is only about 10 bucks a month and there's no access to the web But it can still be Located and called with texting Honestly, that was a big part of apple's pitch for the new se It is like for kids and it seems like a pretty compelling Price that seems pretty cool. Yeah, um With that said, you know You could get a lot more functionality with like a cheap secondhand Android phone for that same amount of money But if what you're after is for them to Not have the functionality um, there seems like the goal not a ton of other options like the the the uh The dumb phone Market seems to have gone like super upscale over the last few years You notice that like they went from being these super affordable non-featured Devices where the whole point was that they're cheap and cheerful and now they're like bougie I don't think that's true of all of them. Just the one's getting headlines So, yeah, if you wanted if you're if you're into it the nice thing about the apple watch is apple has Done a very good job of supporting them over an extended period of time So by the time your kids are ready for a smartphone Then they can just pair it to their phone and they can just keep using that same watch probably All I got And that's all I got for you Until next week same bad time same bad channel. Bye How long was that show? You"}
