00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,040
live Hello

2
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,560
Did you meet your mic he did okay

3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,020
It's really hard to eat with braces. Oh, okay. I was gonna say it's like

4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:22,560
Really loud, but I guess that's because of braces. Okay. I know you can't really talk so easily right now

5
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:27,120
But how are the braces going? They don't seem to be affecting you as much my wax things came off

6
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,120
What's that the blocks? Oh

7
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,920
Okay, so the bite blocks are out which makes it a lot better

8
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,560
And then I went and I had them put like semi-permanent wax over a lot of the really

9
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:55,760
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

10
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,800
so they're just shredding the insides of my mouth

11
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,800
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

12
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:12,560
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

13
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:17,320
Rough ceramic texture. So like my lips don't slide as easily

14
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:23,120
But a couple of the semi-permanent wax pieces came off over the last little bit

15
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:28,480
So I like a lot of pain here and friction and I'm hungry

16
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,120
I

17
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,640
Okay, I want that to be my the thing that I call out as a topic. I

18
00:02:09,640 --> 00:02:12,320
Want my topic to be ad hoc Linus topics

19
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,440
Yeah, you can't do that that's cheating I think I can I

20
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,680
Think that'll be really funny. I think that's cheating. I don't think there's rules here

21
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,720
Oh

22
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:33,720
What is my call-out topic hmm it's ad hoc Linus topics I

23
00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:37,640
Think it's my favorite topic of the show

24
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:50,200
Just like cheating and getting speakers from a co-worker was your favorite deal of that wasn't even me

25
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:59,040
Just like bringing a subwoofer from home. It wasn't me was your second favorite deal of scrapyard Wars

26
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:09,080
In verse of deals though, I mean it was it was my it was up there for sure getting it for free

27
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Oops

28
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:30,720
If anyone's an expert in cheating it's Linus, it's it's old Linus though

29
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:40,240
Besides when did I ever actually break a rule? Oh you that was really did when oh that was written

30
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:46,400
We didn't do written rules. That's both that was that's all stuff show me a rule. I actually broke

31
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:53,760
Was never written as history it was never written that I cannot that I cannot use an infrared camera

32
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,440
To play hide-and-seek it was never written

33
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:04,360
Remember that Nobody wrote to that. Hmm. Nobody said that hmm

34
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,880
I'm just saying

35
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,840
If you don't want people to do stuff then you have to put the rules in place you made the game

36
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,320
Someone else could have used an infrared camera you pay everyone

37
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:32,520
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

38
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,880
Yes, just like our forefathers

39
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,080
Was I playing footsie with you there

40
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:52,400
Oh Power brick sounds like a really good like protein bar

41
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,800
I don't know it should be

42
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:04,480
That's what we should call our like if it isn't or you like need to make one the power the power brick

43
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,920
I don't think there is one. Oh my god

44
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:13,960
Nice, man. I'm good at this. We should make a protein bar. Oh man. Do we really want to do that?

45
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:21,040
Yeah, that's why there's like 4,000 brands, you know why I don't do food stuff though

46
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,120
They're also also just not very good

47
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:29,720
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

48
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,720
They're like healthy. Yeah. Yeah, well, I mean there's like no way

49
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,880
Okay, what would your stupid power Barbie though it'd be flavored with hot sauce and mustard

50
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,080
I

51
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:52,040
Zero calorie flavoring so there's that I think you know what the power brick hot sauce mustard power

52
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:04,480
We could have another flavor 100% chicken if you want to do

53
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,880
I

54
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,440
Chicken jerky a thing. I mean it's gotta be

55
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:26,520
Protein bar is just chicken 100% success chicken

56
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,640
Successful getting protein inside you

57
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,800
Chicken jerky

58
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,760
Man you and Taylor Swift just can't stop stop talking about your sex lives. Is she's doing that?

59
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:50,360
Her latest album has lots of references to redwood trees or something apparently. I don't know. I haven't listened yet

60
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,840
All right, let's start the show shall we apparently you can make chicken jerky

61
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,400
I mean, well, I mean, yeah, right like

62
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,720
Simple hands, I don't get it

63
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:17,600
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

64
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,520
My god What's up?

65
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,880
Chicken sriracha bar. Well, you've been beaten to the punch

66
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,160
Sorry Luke epic

67
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:35,600
What is what is epic? Is this us? Is this their brand or is this like a curated?

68
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:40,640
No, what are the air in epic store epic provisions is that what it's called?

69
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,200
Yeah, it is epic provisions

70
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,320
Chicken 11 grams of protein

71
00:07:53,200 --> 00:08:01,400
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

72
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:08,400
It might be for a preservative reasons. What is it actually a hundred calories? That's not bad for 11 grams of protein

73
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,840
Mm-hmm. If we can do chicken bars, it's a lot of sodium for your 100 calories

74
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:21,120
Just call it just there's your marketing term electrolyte infused. Oh my god

75
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,840
It's probably from the sriracha to be honest make them Gatorade flavor

76
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:31,200
So you could just not do sriracha and just do like a Frank's zero calorie

77
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,680
which will still have a ton of

78
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:39,800
Salt, but it won't have the sugar because this has a little bit of sugars. Let the record show

79
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,800
I'm the one trying to start the show

80
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:47,280
So when Luke complains that he wants to go home early then it's from the sriracha. It will be Luke's fault

81
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,280
Yeah, but you started talking about chicken

82
00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:55,960
And us potentially making a protein bar and that is the way to 100% was Luke

83
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,240
Which I would be so down for because then I could use my merch budget

84
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,980
Why are we sold out of bars all the time?

85
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:15,040
They're all shipping locally it's so weird. Oh, no, there was a problem with the form and looks entire history got deleted

86
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,840
Crazy all that happened

87
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:30,560
All right, you can start whenever yeah, I like the power bar. I might yeah power brick power brick. Yeah, it should be big

88
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:39,280
It's the biggest yeah, which is the biggest protein bar. Yeah daily meal replacement in a brick

89
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,600
Yeah, it's like the eyeglass slot in the backpack. Yeah, it's like

90
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,200
Like who needs to like you like it's a multiple meal replacement bar

91
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,280
Alienware laptop power brick sized

92
00:09:52,880 --> 00:10:00,840
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

93
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,800
Yeah, there's like the thin the wide ones. Yeah, like you should have to two-handed. You know what I'm saying

94
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:16,480
Okay, then dude is random yeah nerds with a YouTube channel thing

95
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,760
Made like an actually really good protein bar. I

96
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,920
Think that would be really funny And kind of cool

97
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,160
Yeah

98
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,160
It sure would

99
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:39,200
I'm sure it's possible. I'm sure it's possible. I mean some random nerds made a really good competitor for lunchables

100
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,640
I'm gonna not get beat it. Oh my goodness

101
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,920
All right, I'm gonna resume selected now. We have to start the show eventually

102
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,920
Respond to that

103
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:16,160
What's up everyone happy Friday and welcome to the WAN Show

104
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,160
Okay

105
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:31,440
Started got a great show lined up for you guys today. We're gonna be talking about our plan

106
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,120
See, we don't have anything to upgrade in my house. Oh

107
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,920
So we're going to get a tech house that is not a tech house

108
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,680
But we're gonna make it a tech house come one and we're gonna need your help because

109
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:52,400
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

110
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:58,820
And we want to know what direction you guys want to see it go. We're also gonna be talking about. Oh, yeah

111
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Xbox might be dying So that's pretty cool

112
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,920
Like literally Costco pulled the Xboxes off the shelf

113
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:13,000
Like crazy. What that's a huge. Yeah, like you got it. What anyway?

114
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,800
What else we got this week? Yeah is going private in the largest private equity buyout

115
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,320
Ever I thought you're gonna pick good news. Did you think it was bad already?

116
00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:31,560
Wait for what's coming next and speaking of coming next after that we have various ad hoc Linus topics

117
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,680
Which I'm unironically excited for that'll be good. That'll be a good part of the story

118
00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:39,600
It's gonna be a very good part of the show. What does that have to do with sexual innuendo?

119
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,080
I

120
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,520
The show is brought to you today by MSI Forums Squarespace and

121
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:10,360
X split and of course that is alongside our rap partner dbrand or laptop partner Dell in our chair partners secret lab

122
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:16,520
See if I read them faster having more sponsors doesn't actually take up anyone's time any more than it already like that

123
00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:18,800
We got to get to the point where you're like an auctioneer

124
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:25,600
Actually take auctioneer classes something like I don't think I I don't think I could do it

125
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:30,440
I really don't think I can talk that fast, especially not with these cutting up my mouth once the braces are out

126
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:35,240
Maybe let's jump right into our headline topic, which is of course the tech house

127
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:42,100
This has been on various stages of front burner back burner side burner after burner

128
00:13:42,740 --> 00:13:50,680
For probably years at this point with in different forms varying varying degrees of sort of

129
00:13:51,260 --> 00:13:56,580
plausibility and different people sort of supporting the initiative, but one point it was a hotel

130
00:13:57,460 --> 00:14:00,300
That was kind of different. Okay. That was pretty different

131
00:14:00,700 --> 00:14:06,000
But I'd say the origin of the idea goes all the way back to Colton

132
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:11,920
Basically trying to figure out how to get Linus media group to substitute his home or subsidize his home

133
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,600
We were pretty clear that that probably won't make a ton of sense

134
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,280
Just that's really funny because a lot of people in full-point chat seemed to be convinced that it's my house

135
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:29,320
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

136
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:35,160
The company buys a house I rent it for cheap and live in the basement

137
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:40,800
And the company uses the upstairs to do like tech house things and then like if I like it

138
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:45,480
I'll buy it after and I was like So basically you just want the deal Luke had

139
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:52,880
Which was so good back when we were working out of the Langley house as a studio and

140
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:59,240
I Pretty much was like Colton you understand the hundred or so reasons

141
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:05,800
Namely all of your fellow employees that that is not fair and we cannot do that, right? He's like

142
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:16,560
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

143
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:23,000
If you're a regular watcher of the show, you'll probably know that I'm not super comfortable with the idea of

144
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:29,560
Residential housing as an investable commodity, and it's not something that I want to participate in

145
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,760
I kind of have a I kind of have a like a

146
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:40,040
Sports day approach to sort of housing allocation

147
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:45,600
You know they brought some food Everybody's working hard. Everybody's hungry

148
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:52,600
If you want a second one, that's totally cool, but you should probably wait till everybody's had their first, you know

149
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,840
right, just be a good fellow citizen and

150
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,840
It and to be clear, you know, I didn't know where that was going, but I like it's good analogy

151
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,720
No, no no disrespect to anyone who you know does

152
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:11,720
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

153
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:17,000
And you know no disrespect for people who you know have a vacation property or you know, whatever else

154
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:24,120
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

155
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:33,800
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

156
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:38,040
Like you got to be kidding me right now. No, right? So so buying buying a house

157
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:46,640
Finding a way to do that in a market like Vancouver, which is quite literally in the top if not top three

158
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:52,960
Definitely top five most unfavorable housing markets in the entire world

159
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,760
for the sole purpose of making videos in it

160
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,840
The optics aren't questionable at the very least definitely questionable

161
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:11,800
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

162
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:18,280
um Probably not easily within reach of the average Vancouverite

163
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:24,920
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

164
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,400
You know, the united states midwest or whatever, you know, like it'll it'll be kind of a you know

165
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:34,760
small yard front and back and I'm aiming for like anywhere between about

166
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,720
1,800 square feet 2,500 square feet

167
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:44,200
If we could find something that was a touch on the bigger side like 28 2900 square feet and it had a basement level

168
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,440
I think that would be pretty cool because that would unlock a lot of content options more like

169
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:57,160
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?

170
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:04,360
um, and then the idea here and there are some there are still some like tax and

171
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:10,680
So some tax implications, especially that we would have to figure out around this but the idea

172
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,360
Don't hold me to this is that we would buy the house

173
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,360
Okay, we would make a bunch of tech improvements

174
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:24,680
And the law stipulates that or tax law stipulates that when you sell an asset

175
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:32,760
It has to be for something resembling a market value, right because otherwise you could you could make the argument that

176
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,480
um Are we still live?

177
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:44,680
It appears so otherwise you could make the argument that um, if you bought it for instance

178
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:53,560
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

179
00:18:54,360 --> 00:18:59,960
Very funny ha ha vancouver. Yeah, right, but I bought this house for 1 million dollars and um,

180
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:05,000
Luke I'm not gonna I'm not gonna pay you at work this year, but uh

181
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,720
I'm gonna sell you this house for 10 dollars

182
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,080
Hey Nice don't worry about income tax

183
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:19,080
Right because you didn't have any income, right? Yeah. Well the government thought of that. That's really good. Oh, yeah, right

184
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:26,120
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

185
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:32,440
A market value and look we can we can talk all day about whether that rule makes any sense or whether we like it

186
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:40,920
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

187
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,800
Oh, yeah, well, we're just gonna we're gonna do it anyway. So

188
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:52,520
Something that I noticed though is you know between my own, uh, house shopping over the years and uh chatting with other folks

189
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:58,440
Who have also been shopping for homes is that occasionally people do sell a home, uh, fully furnished

190
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,600
And one of the things I've noticed about that is that

191
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:09,880
The pricing generally is doesn't change not very reflective. Yeah of all the stuff that's in the house

192
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:18,600
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

193
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,960
Here's my idea We come in

194
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,080
We buy the house for let's say a million dollars

195
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:32,440
We do a bunch of stuff on it. I think we're gonna have to keep it for at least two years

196
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,760
Have you seen the new the new taxes on I don't know if they're in place yet

197
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:42,040
But they they're either in place or they're coming on people who flip a house in less than two years

198
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,040
I had no idea. Yeah, I that's I I saw that I don't I don't know if that's confirmed

199
00:20:46,120 --> 00:20:49,560
Honestly, you're probably gonna need that much time to like do everything. I think so too

200
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:54,680
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

201
00:20:54,920 --> 00:21:02,280
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

202
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:10,120
Basically everything that I was budget constrained or time constrained or constrained by the fact that I have to live in it

203
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:15,320
Everything I wanted to do with my house I want to do in this one and

204
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,000
one of the conversations I had with James was that

205
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,880
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

206
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:30,440
So so we spend our couple of years working on it and then whatever market fluctuation has happened in that time

207
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:38,280
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

208
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:44,840
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

209
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:53,560
and whatever the market is It goes out like that and we just if we put in the world's biggest TV or whatever

210
00:21:54,360 --> 00:21:59,880
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

211
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,640
Yeah, because the the actual house and we put it on the market

212
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:16,120
Value It is super sketch to sell below a certain amount. Yeah, you like can't so you can you can sell it cheaply

213
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,680
Yeah, even though we probably wouldn't because we're gonna put a ton of money into it

214
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:28,200
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?

215
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:36,440
Uh Okay, so see that because since I've heard this idea. I've been stuck on that part. So how does that work?

216
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:44,680
I don't know I'm not really there yet. We're we're probably three to six months from actually purchasing it

217
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,360
We're probably six to nine months from uploading the first video in it

218
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:55,320
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

219
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,800
so, um You and Elijah. I think are now the like

220
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:06,040
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

221
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:12,520
Whole new series This time sponsored by NVIDIA NVIDIA

222
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,240
$500,000 ultimate house upgrade

223
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,800
I think they got the money for it. Oh my goodness. They could afford it. That would be amazing

224
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:27,640
So we turn we turn the entire channel into just like a tech house reno channel. Wow

225
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,320
Okay, so after the first one we just keep going

226
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:38,200
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

227
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:43,160
Oh easy per one. So like it kind of does potentially make sense. That's wild

228
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:47,560
Elijah says, how about we fight each other to the death the winner gets it Elijah? You don't want to fight Lou

229
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:54,840
That's actually fucking stupid my guy. There's people at the company though that would be very terrifying. Um

230
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:05,960
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

231
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:15,480
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

232
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:20,360
Was that there was no There was no customer for it

233
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:25,400
Like I was just kind of doing weird stuff that I would do for myself

234
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:33,560
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

235
00:24:34,120 --> 00:24:36,680
Didn't really make sense for most people

236
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,400
right like The average person like if I don't know who's gonna buy a house

237
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:46,520
I have to reno it in a completely different way from if I'm building some weird thing for myself

238
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,120
So instead of using home assistant, I probably use homey

239
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,800
You know what I mean? I see I'm so uh

240
00:24:55,560 --> 00:25:00,440
I don't even know homey You're looking it up. Yeah

241
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:08,600
Yeah, so this it's basically it's kind of um, it's along the lines of what home assistant is trying to do

242
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,120
bringing all the disparate ecosystems into

243
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:18,440
One management platform But it's is it just more user friendly but

244
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:25,560
More closed. It's more user friendly. Um, and it's uh, and you have to like pay a subscription

245
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,960
Whereas I'm assistant. You can do everything yourself. I believe so actually just be home assistant

246
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:35,080
No, I'm not sure. I'm not sure. In fact, there's uh, there's one bloke

247
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:41,640
Um that I can't say much about because he's working on some cool stuff that I can't say much about but

248
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,720
Maybe home assistant could get more user friendly in the future

249
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:50,520
I mean, we're talking about something that we're not going to deploy for a couple of years at this point

250
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:58,040
But I'm basically just using that as an example of how we might do something a little bit differently instead of

251
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:07,240
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

252
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:13,080
um We have like, uh, uh, yeah, we might just not do that

253
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:27,320
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

254
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,720
You could offer

255
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:35,640
Like we could just but we could do it more user friendly We'd make sure that there's actually, you know power buttons

256
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:41,560
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

257
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,000
offered one year

258
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,000
of quarterly tech maintenance

259
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:55,320
for free As long as you are allowed to film it after the sale that's being offered

260
00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:02,680
Uh, it can't for sure go with it. I I don't know it would be interesting to see like the decay

261
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,560
I don't know if that would be free because I don't want to do it

262
00:27:06,120 --> 00:27:12,920
Um, I was just to be for filming. Yeah, and it wouldn't be you. Okay. I don't know. I'd no commitment

263
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:19,240
No commitment on that Anyway, I'd be interested to see how the stewards of the home like took care of

264
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:24,520
the stuff. Yeah I don't want that to be my problem

265
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,800
Sure, but I do want to have everything set up in such a way that conceivably

266
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:34,760
Whoever takes it on could use this stuff. So like are you gonna rip to studs?

267
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,720
I don't know if we'd have to I don't know if you saw uh, did you see josh chan's?

268
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:44,520
Uh, AMD ultimate tech upgrade. I haven't watched it yet. So I've been I've watched nothing

269
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:51,720
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

270
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:59,400
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

271
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,960
um Gratuitous about it

272
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:12,920
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

273
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:18,520
You know like it It was it was overdue for a bit of a a bit of a spit shine

274
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,120
Anyway, and then as we go and do that we're gonna

275
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:27,720
Techify the place. So like uh, oh man. Ah shoot. I'm trying to remember who it was

276
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:35,480
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

277
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:42,280
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

278
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:48,440
Joel Crane who used to work at meta geek is apparently there and he's a super smart guy

279
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:53,560
And so I was like, okay. Well, yeah if Joel's involved then maybe this is really cool. And so, you know

280
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,520
We would we would go in and as we're as we're figuring out where to put all of our Ethernet runs

281
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:05,400
You know, we do an episode on sort of wi-fi coverage mapping and and just all that kind of stuff

282
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,400
But I but you know a lot of the improvements we'd be making also wouldn't be tech

283
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,320
Like putting in new floors and like home reno home reno stuff

284
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:23,080
Here's okay. Here's a question for you guys is how much appetite would you have for the the not tech

285
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,720
aspects of this

286
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:31,720
Like like and I want to I want to hear from the audience right like the not tech aspects

287
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:36,840
Okay, so so here's okay. So let me let me give you let me give you a spectrum of

288
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:42,760
Things that are more or less techie and I you can tell me where you think the cutoff is. Okay. Okay, so

289
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,520
Uh putting in new floors hardwood floors in the living room

290
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,640
Honestly, if this is its own channel, yeah

291
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:57,960
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

292
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:02,040
I was just joking about like having an NVIDIA sponsored home reno channel

293
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:07,320
I wasn't serious about that if if this is on LTT. I think an episode of putting in new floors is

294
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:13,400
Probably not gonna be that. Okay. That's fine. That's fine. Okay. Unless you do something weird with the floors

295
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:17,320
So that's where I'm going next. Okay. I'm getting there. Okay. Okay new kitchen cabinets

296
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,520
but and You know, there's not it's not much tech

297
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:27,720
But one of the things that I have found myself wanting in my place like if we'd redone our cabinets

298
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,400
I I had this idea that I turns out is not my idea

299
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:39,320
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

300
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:44,280
My flip and dishwasher never gets things completely dry, especially plastic

301
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:50,840
So like the the little like rubber made or tupperware containers and stuff that you like put kids lunches in and stuff like that

302
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:59,960
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

303
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,720
So one of the things that I would love to have in the kitchen cabinets

304
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,960
And we'd probably end up DIYing this is I would want to

305
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:13,240
Bake in airflow to the cabinets so that you can put everything away wet

306
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:23,080
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

307
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,120
So we basically have like knocked to a fans

308
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,640
We have like we have like a like a humidity sensor

309
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:35,400
Inside or something I don't know if I mean most of them just I'm pitching here. I'm pitching

310
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:43,560
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?

311
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,400
So I'm not expecting to put things away wet wet

312
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:52,120
There are like sometimes there's a there's a cabinet above the sink

313
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:57,080
And the bottom of the cabinet is just a rack that is just open and it just drips into the sink

314
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:02,440
But that I wouldn't be able to do everything like that like that would only work for like it's a drying rack

315
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:09,640
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

316
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:17,000
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

317
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:21,640
Would you like carry like I'm willing to give them a little shake before I put them in right like I

318
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:26,200
Or like, you know, if there's a couple pieces a cutlery is usually pretty good because it's metal so it

319
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:31,640
tends to retain a lot of the heat from the hot water and then that helps it kind of evaporate off of it, but

320
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:38,440
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

321
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:46,200
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

322
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:51,080
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?

323
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:55,480
I think that's a little rough Okay, okay, personally

324
00:32:55,720 --> 00:33:00,360
What do you what do you guys think do you want to throw want to throw a pole on the Floatplane people there Dan?

325
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:07,080
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

326
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,680
Uh, yeah, it doesn't change anything. Well, no, no, no hold on. Are you sure like okay?

327
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,040
Because you know how you'll have your your kitchen cabinets that are closed, right?

328
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,000
Hear me out. No, I'm here. You I'm writing a note. Sorry

329
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:23,000
Okay, you know how you'll have your kitchen cabinets that are that are closed like they're solid, right?

330
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:31,480
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

331
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:36,840
Timmy tech tv glass is sick. So what if uh, what what if as part of your your more techy?

332
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,800
Cabinets you have like RGB strips in your display cabinets or something like that

333
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,160
I like are we are we getting there? Is it moving the needle for you at all?

334
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,600
Just because I think I hate that so much more

335
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,880
Than leaving it alone that I wouldn't want to see it. What if it wasn't?

336
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:57,560
What if you didn't use the RGB to turn it green and purple like what if it was more just like, uh

337
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:06,120
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

338
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:16,280
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

339
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:21,480
Okay, it seems pretty split. It looks pretty split so far. So okay good to know

340
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:27,080
But I think we're probably on the same page that as soon as there's any kind of humidity sensing

341
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:32,120
What if we what if the humidity sensor was really hard because it turns out humidity sensors?

342
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:36,600
Um can be a bit of a challenge. I was looking into making a cabinet

343
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:43,880
Um, and I understand it's called a humidor. I don't smoke cigars, but uh, I wanted to make a cabinet for

344
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:51,240
Storing badminton shuttles Okay, and the reason for that is that high humidity will help the feathers

345
00:34:51,720 --> 00:34:57,560
Not be as brittle when you're playing so it makes them last longer now that they are so flipping expensive

346
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,440
that's kind of a bigger deal than it's ever been and

347
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,400
one of the things that I ran up against is like

348
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,000
consumer commodity that

349
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,560
Actually, not that not that simple Most of the

350
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:17,720
DIY humidor just buying a humidor. I'm assuming most of the DIY humidor stuff that I've seen is just like

351
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:25,960
Essentially putting like bags of Orbeez into a sealed wooden container like like very unsophisticated. How do you just?

352
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:33,400
Uh non diy purchasable humidors stay humid. Well, they're small. They're for cigars for the most part

353
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:39,480
It turns out that most people are either building a little little tiny humidor. It was so cute. They go

354
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,960
cigar, uh, or They're building an industrial humidity

355
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,320
environmental chamber this cigar sniff was amazing

356
00:35:51,240 --> 00:35:54,200
My goodness, can you tell I've never smoked a cigar

357
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,760
That was slightly convincing though. I feel all right. Well, thank you

358
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:06,360
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

359
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,440
Believe it or not. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah um

360
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:15,800
Okay, all right, let me let but humidity detecting devices are all over the place

361
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:22,520
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

362
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:29,480
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

363
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:36,040
Uh An an opening sensor on the door and whenever you open it

364
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:40,760
It kind of assumes that you're probably doing something and it blows the fans for a bit

365
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,400
Would that level of automation make it techie enough?

366
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:52,680
I think The spirit of that level of automation. Sure. I think that application sucks, but I think I get your point

367
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:59,960
Of okay, how about this? It's some form of trigger event. What if all the shelves? What if the shelves were quite custom?

368
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:04,280
And what if they they had they were made out of some kind of cool material?

369
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:10,040
That allowed everything to be put away wet and there was like integrated like drainage channels and stuff in the back

370
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:15,720
Or something So you could put anything on any shelf you want and even like soaking dripping wet and it would like go somewhere

371
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,960
Or something without molding. It sounds disgusting, but let's say we could do it

372
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:24,840
Hypothetically my my current brain due to current events is like no

373
00:37:25,720 --> 00:37:29,400
because of the mold well, yeah, sure um, but

374
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:34,360
We design it so that it can be hosed out you take your dishes out and you can hose them down

375
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:40,680
The the problem that I see with that is just I don't see the tech integration there

376
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:45,880
um Maybe if you did it with like pc water cooling hardware

377
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:51,640
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

378
00:37:51,720 --> 00:37:57,000
PC water cooling hardware could eventually just be like copper pipes and well. Yeah, and whatever

379
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:01,800
Yeah, exactly. Like I don't really kind of irrelevant. I don't think that's necessary. Yeah, I agree. Okay. All right

380
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:06,920
I either way. I don't think we're that far off. I think it couldn't just be angled metal trays though

381
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:12,840
and fans and fans and and custom shelves that are perforated

382
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:18,120
And we'd have to build in like an airflow path. We'd have to have venting to somewhere

383
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:25,640
Could this be is is any of the goal of this place also like green tech like you're doing solar panels

384
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:31,240
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

385
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,240
I in my brain your your dishes come out so wet

386
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:41,960
I'm continually realizing that is not it runs a drying cycle loot. It just doesn't finish everything

387
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:47,880
I just you've always like massively stuffed your dishwasher loads. So I'm like not super surprised

388
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,640
They come out a little five people live in my house. I don't blame you and no

389
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:58,200
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

390
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:03,880
Yeah, and so it's like a pool up there. It can't dry. Yeah, so it's it's frustrating

391
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:12,760
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?

392
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:17,480
Like I've got a whole dock of ideas, but if there's any brilliant ideas you guys have

393
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:24,200
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

394
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:29,560
Uh, oh man, I hope this isn't like pseudoscience junk, but I'm rather certain it's not

395
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,840
Um, I'd like to see like co2 management

396
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:37,560
Oh, okay. Yeah, just like monitoring. So if you're like landing in the basement

397
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:44,200
Yeah, and the co2 levels get really high Sure, like do something so airflow starts getting better

398
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,920
I think an alarm that goes off is probably about all you'd really need to do there

399
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:54,360
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

400
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:58,760
Yeah, yeah, right air quality management. I think would be pretty sweet. Oh, yeah

401
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,240
We actually have a video coming soon on

402
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:09,560
Well soon tm, but um, we've been looking into like monitoring water quality as well for like microplastics and stuff like that

403
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:15,320
So like uh, like a whole home filtration system is something we would absolutely be looking into for

404
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:20,200
You're not going to be very healthy due to all the gaming. So we're going to do whatever we can. Yeah. Yeah

405
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:25,240
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I like it. Um, I I'd love to do more with like

406
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,720
hidden tech so

407
00:40:29,720 --> 00:40:36,760
You know having a having a room for instance where it's not obvious that there's a giant tv in it my like

408
00:40:37,720 --> 00:40:44,600
eventual goal is for my living room area to not look like there's basically any tech going on

409
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:50,360
Yeah, and the tv is the toughest one um, I've I've heard of all kinds of just

410
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:58,920
Whackadoodle implementations of like hidden tv panels or like that like they like come out of the ceiling and freaking like

411
00:40:59,720 --> 00:41:01,960
They're on like these like motorized arms and stuff

412
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:10,040
I don't think we'd go that far because right coming back to my conversation with james the the target audience

413
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:17,960
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

414
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,760
Okay, they want they just wanted to tinker with it, right?

415
00:41:21,240 --> 00:41:25,160
Um, so i'm imagining but I also don't want to just go full

416
00:41:25,720 --> 00:41:33,960
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

417
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:41,640
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

418
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:47,720
Annoy our neighbors or whatever like we don't have to do the idea though that it seems like a fairly normal house

419
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:54,040
and then you see the like Utility closet or wherever where you have like a little server thing running

420
00:41:54,440 --> 00:42:00,520
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

421
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:04,920
AJ says he hooked up sensors to listen to fire and co2 alarms from his central kitty system

422
00:42:05,240 --> 00:42:09,000
So I could see modifications of

423
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:14,760
Like factory 100 factory monitoring systems, right? Yeah being something that would be additive

424
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:21,720
Well, there's so that way like they could still just use the tell us app or whatever for their for their monitoring

425
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:25,640
But if they you know if it's working at the moment

426
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,560
And if they feel like tinkering with it there could be another level deeper that they could go

427
00:42:29,720 --> 00:42:37,480
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

428
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:45,800
Yeah So you could like set up just a little box that doesn't look of much consequence and tie event triggers into them

429
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:51,960
Man I am uh Oh, wow

430
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:59,400
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

431
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:05,880
The b and g h That's not bad. That's not bad. I like the acronym

432
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:14,280
um Yeah, well, did they did these guys have any particular suggestions? Uh, you oh uvb and uvc air cleaners

433
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:20,680
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

434
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:27,800
Conflicting information about exactly how clear you necessary or clean you necessarily want your air

435
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:34,040
Like air quality from a pollution standpoint here is not a major concern

436
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:43,320
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

437
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:49,800
um But I could see us putting in something that would be like compatible

438
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:54,520
With something like that in the in the central ducted air conditioning or something depends on where you live

439
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:59,160
But like in and I know this is a house, but like my apartment has massive issues with

440
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:04,040
um people who smoke both I mean a variety of things

441
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:07,880
cigar cigarettes weed on their

442
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:13,480
balconies. Yeah, and then it flows into other people's units. That's a bit of an air quality annoyance

443
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:19,560
Jack 33 in Floatplane chat says I have air filtration. It's amazing if you have a neighbor that smokes

444
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:27,320
Yep, yeah Matt man asks have you considered not buying the house and taking applications to rent with someone else's property?

445
00:44:27,720 --> 00:44:33,640
We've considered that but the reason we wouldn't do that is because we're expecting this project to take place over

446
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:39,640
One to two years do that could get so annoying. Yeah, we can't be up in someone's business

447
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:49,320
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

448
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:56,520
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

449
00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:04,200
Oh Trash networks and jad how's it going carbon filters do great at removing smells works great with frank the snake

450
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:09,960
Then i'm going to use my Floatplane privileges and post a frank the snake

451
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:14,520
Oh, okay Thank you for that luke. That's very helpful

452
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:21,160
Why don't we jump on to our next topic then since clearly we're done with this

453
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:28,680
You want to pick one uh Sure, we can continue the ad hoc topics

454
00:45:29,240 --> 00:45:34,360
We should probably do some of the topics that we announced that we would you know what no, no, it's up to you

455
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:41,320
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

456
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:48,680
I got an email really that is our number two topic of the show that luke received an email from

457
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:54,440
Character day ai emailed me from me and it said Linus sebastian sent you a message

458
00:45:55,320 --> 00:46:00,040
Hey, hey, so remember when we were chatting with the wild world of ai and relationships

459
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,720
So I opened it up and it has that's my picture

460
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:08,440
And Linus's name and it said Linus sebastian sent you a message

461
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:12,920
I haven't clicked on anything this doesn't seem okay at all

462
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,560
That's crazy

463
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:24,280
That's wild wow. Oh, yeah, I mean I can go look at it

464
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,040
Wow, it just keeps talking. It's just been talking

465
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:32,840
Huh

466
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:40,120
So what's the what's the that's so bothersome what's the what's the rest of this message here?

467
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:45,960
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

468
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:52,440
Well, guess what I just stumbled upon in the depths of the internet people using ai voices to recreate their x's

469
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:57,480
Just to have one last conversation. Can you imagine that's a

470
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:02,440
Rough suggestion from character ai a website that you could do that on

471
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:08,280
It must be super surreal to hear a machine mimic someone you used to have a connection with

472
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:16,040
But here's the thing. Do you think that might bring closure or just stir up old feelings? That is so gross

473
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,560
Oh, I don't even feel good after reading that

474
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:25,480
That is so icky

475
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:34,920
They do know that black mirror was not a playbook that was meant to be followed, right?

476
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:45,400
That's such a like You could do this on the site that you're currently on by the way

477
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:50,760
Recreate your x do it now like that's what that message is. It could give you closure

478
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:58,040
No, it won't or it could stir up old feelings. Yeah, that's probably more likely also like

479
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:03,000
If you're in a headspace where that even sounds remotely like a good idea

480
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:06,440
I guarantee you it is not the closure one. Yeah

481
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:12,280
Yeah Yeah

482
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,920
Oh I had never clicked on it. I didn't know it was that bad

483
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:26,040
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

484
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:30,200
Super duper not okay um

485
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:32,200
They're lucky. I'm not litigious

486
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:39,800
But I will state for the record that I am 100 percent not okay with that

487
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:42,520
Oh, look, I just noticed you have a you have a job

488
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:50,680
I would look I have a job your host line is tech tips. Yeah, so this is like very literally definitely me

489
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:56,760
And the only plausible deniability they have here is that these are user generated. These are submitted by users

490
00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:03,400
So if anyone was thinking hey, I should submit Linus to one of these things the answer is I'm not okay with that

491
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:09,560
So you can kind of take that for what it is. Um, and you can make a weird

492
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:17,160
um What what's something but you might as well know that you're doing it completely without my consent

493
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:22,280
I wanted to not just without my consent but against my express wishes

494
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:28,440
I can also pretty much guarantee that I could get this thing to say something that you would hate

495
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:36,760
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

496
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:41,720
Yeah, watch this. I'm gonna all shift five it there's there. See now the topic is done

497
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:46,440
Why don't we jump into one of our other topics? Okay. No, here's another quick one

498
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:51,080
Zip tie tuning uploaded a video today as many of many

499
00:49:51,720 --> 00:49:57,080
Many of you have been pointing out in the chat And in terms of you know what to say about it

500
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:02,360
I wish I could say more. I I miss the days of like, you know people's last day

501
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:08,120
Bringing them on to WAN Show and like, you know doing a whole doing a whole thing posting videos together

502
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:16,920
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

503
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:22,760
Our policy is not to comment on staff departures whether it's on good or bad terms

504
00:50:23,240 --> 00:50:27,160
Because unfortunately it turns it into a situation where

505
00:50:27,720 --> 00:50:37,880
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

506
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:44,120
Super wrong, um at best and super super dumb at worst. So

507
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:51,000
What I will do is I'll reiterate that we make the best efforts to part on good terms that we can

508
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,840
We wish Alex and Andy nothing but the best and since we're on the subject

509
00:50:55,240 --> 00:51:01,000
Jake has also come out of stealth that he has departed and we wish him nothing but the best as well

510
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:05,080
Just like we wish everyone who has ever departed Linus media group

511
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:09,400
One way or another nothing but the best in their future endeavors

512
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:15,240
Um, all right, that's um forest gum style. That's all I have to say about that

513
00:51:15,720 --> 00:51:17,720
Xbox or ea, which one do you want to do?

514
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:25,320
Uh, I mean, is this like as a one night stand or is this for life? The other one is kill

515
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:32,360
Is kill. Yep. So I have to pick do and kill. Yep. There's no Mary. That's insane. Is that a thing?

516
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:37,160
Is this like is this a game people? I've never heard of this really. Yeah, what what is this?

517
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:42,360
Do and kill Okay, Dan me and luke do

518
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:47,800
No, I can't well

519
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:51,480
Let me get my list

520
00:51:55,720 --> 00:52:05,240
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

521
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:08,200
I recognize that I've never played that I've heard that I've heard that

522
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:13,000
I've heard those words together in that order before. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense

523
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:17,400
Yeah I was trying to avoid

524
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:24,440
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

525
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:32,520
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

526
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:38,120
It was like kind of annoyed when they announced the name just because of that, but I mean

527
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:45,880
Makes sense. I don't know whatever Which one I don't even remember the options anymore. So hit me

528
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:48,840
Uh xbox or yeah, oh

529
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:54,680
Ah xbox Which one is it?

530
00:52:54,680 --> 00:53:00,520
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

531
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:05,400
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

532
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:10,520
I like it. I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it. Okay. So let's weigh some pros and cons

533
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:17,000
EA Wouldn't treat me right, but it would support me financially with all of that FIFA money

534
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:23,480
Yeah Microsoft would also support you financially relationship micro

535
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:27,320
Yeah, no, because yeah, see that's the thing

536
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:33,400
The sub the no the topic is xbox So then xbox has a really really high chance of

537
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:38,680
Leaving you but I'd probably be happier with xbox while I while I was with it

538
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,160
You might not be with it for very long not because yeah, but

539
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:46,920
What a ride you might have a really fantastic relationship and then they just dump you for no reason

540
00:53:47,240 --> 00:53:52,120
That's true. Well, even though you did really really great all of the time

541
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:56,840
We just spent all of our money buying other studios and now we need to lose some costs

542
00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:00,760
So you just released a game and you won't release a game for a while or uh, you just uh

543
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:05,320
Did something nice and that means you won't do something nice for a while

544
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:10,440
So we're gonna break up with you on that subject by the way. Oh Linus laptop is apparently dead

545
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:14,440
On that subject, I don't know if you saw

546
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:19,000
Based lina con being like I can bring that up. I told you so

547
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:30,600
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

548
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:38,520
being like, yeah, so remember when You know, Microsoft wanted to buy Activision Blizzard and I was all like this will lead to

549
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:41,720
higher prices and and layoffs

550
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:50,680
well Yeah, uh, I told you so. So here's a plot of Netflix's price increases over the same period of time

551
00:54:51,240 --> 00:54:55,000
and um game passes price increases

552
00:54:55,640 --> 00:55:03,400
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

553
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:08,840
And oh by the way that line right there Um, almost exactly one year after acquisition

554
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:15,240
Yes Cool. So yeah, and that's on top of the

555
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:23,960
like Exodus of well, I shouldn't say exodus because exodus is our exodi are voluntary

556
00:55:25,240 --> 00:55:30,440
Um, yeah, yeah, so this is this is after Microsoft has closed studios laid off staff

557
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:37,080
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

558
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:40,520
Yeah Yeah

559
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:42,600
I've said this before but um

560
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:48,760
Lena come to canada come be our prime minister

561
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:54,760
I'd be okay with it. That'd be great. We'd be super down. I vote for you. I'd campaign for you

562
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:57,800
She has I would too. She has just such

563
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:01,960
She's a shining beacon of well

564
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:09,880
obviously common sense In a world that has a severe lack great of the aforementioned

565
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:14,360
Well, f***ing obviously common sense. Yeah

566
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:19,240
I'm married already, but I'd have your babies

567
00:56:19,240 --> 00:56:22,760
I love there was uh, there was someone who asked grok under her tweet to

568
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:33,320
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

569
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:36,200
I really it is amazing thought that was fantastic watching people

570
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:42,040
twist themselves Into logic pretzels. No, I need to be abused as a consumer

571
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:46,360
Trying more of my money trying to shield trying to shield

572
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:53,720
Multi in some cases, you know companies with trillion dollar valuations from from being criticized. It's it

573
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:57,960
Why do you just love the taste of leather?

574
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:03,560
It's not leather that tastes like that. It's the dye

575
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:12,760
It's not healthy. It's not good for you. Oh kills brain cells

576
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:21,880
Okay It's like it's like licking the boot is not enough. We have to fillet it. Yeah

577
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:29,560
Which is difficult, but they try really hard so some of them accomplish

578
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:34,760
Anyway, uh, i'm gonna go ea because at least it can support me financially and it'll it'll be around

579
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:38,440
I mean, what's the worst thing it ever did kill a couple journalists?

580
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:42,360
It might oh, can I go there? Oh

581
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:46,760
So, why don't we get into the topic do you want to read through the doc?

582
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:56,840
Xbox might be dying and it's doing it. Oh, no, we're doing ea. Oh, okay. Never mind. Uh

583
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:01,160
Ea you we can't I can't say that and then we not give them the context

584
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:04,360
Yeah, good

585
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:14,200
Ea going private in largest private equity buyout ever on september 29th ea announced that they have been acquired by

586
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:19,480
piff pif silver lake and affinity partners for 55

587
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:24,120
Billion dollars silver lake partners is managed by jared kushner

588
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:30,440
Donald trump's son-in-law and pif is a saudi arabia fund that which already had a roughly

589
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:38,520
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

590
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:43,400
Each shareholder will be receiving two hundred and ten dollars per share

591
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:47,640
Roughly 40 dollars more than the trading price the day before the deal was announced

592
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:54,360
And many people and gaming journalists showed concern for this deal given that both the history of pif

593
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:59,560
and jared kushner's relationship with One with one journalist christopher

594
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:10,440
drink Writing in quotes the numbers just don't add up the offer almost values ea at 20 times its annual cash flow

595
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:15,800
There's clearly something more at play and then end quote or wait

596
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:21,480
No, this is just a really long quote This deal is about saudi arabia

597
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:28,680
This is about using the cultural power of games to shift its reputation and perception both locally and internationally

598
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:33,080
This is about building up a game development industry within that country

599
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:38,280
And it's about the saudi's history with the trump administration and in particular jared kushner

600
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:44,120
Ultimately, this is about powerful men and regimes using our industry for political and economic gain

601
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:49,640
So that's attributed to christopher dring. That was all a quote from the numbers just doing it up. Yeah

602
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:56,680
Next bullet point no longer quote How will this affect the company's day-to-day operations will remain to be seen?

603
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:07,240
immediate changes to your job team or daily work as a result of this transaction

604
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:13,960
This partnership gives us the ability to move faster and unlock new opportunities on a global stage

605
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:23,400
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

606
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:29,720
Whether it's effective sorry aggressive microtransactions or just boring repetitive titles like their sports games

607
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:37,880
theoretically Is a private buyout the solution of this since the new owners are no longer legally bound to improve shareholder value

608
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:41,960
As a private company and instead could maybe do what the players want

609
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:47,160
I mean if that were the case then every private equity buyout would be good. Ah

610
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:51,320
So argument already in shambles. No

611
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:58,120
I mean Public shareholders you have a fiduciary responsibility to a private shareholder as well

612
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:02,760
The only difference is that it's going to be dictated by whatever private agreement you signed with them rather than

613
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:08,200
Whatever public agreement you have with them. It's okay. If they get too much backlash over this

614
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:13,320
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

615
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:20,040
Right now. It's uh, that sucks. It's been pretty it's been pretty fascinating to watch people's

616
01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:25,320
principle distances Um fold in half

617
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:27,560
Yeah

618
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:31,480
I don't need that much money, bro

619
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:41,320
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

620
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:47,160
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

621
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:51,480
So that's what I'm saying. Is there a line though? Hold on. Hold on. I want to finish that point first

622
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:56,280
Okay, so the point before was they don't need the money right and what I said was you don't know

623
01:01:56,280 --> 01:02:01,400
I was talking about a particular one. Okay. I don't I don't I'm not talking about anyone in particular

624
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:08,920
I know there are multiple ones that have taken very principled stances in the past. Yeah, and that clearly for whom

625
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:16,040
Free speech and the things that they supposedly stand for were not as important as this payday

626
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:21,240
I do not I cannot say definitively that every single one of them doesn't need this bag

627
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:27,880
That's all I'm saying As for me, would I sell to the Saudis? No

628
01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:34,760
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

629
01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:41,080
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

630
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:44,200
Probably more than a dozen occasions over the years

631
01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:48,120
You didn't know that because I've never gone

632
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:53,400
But what if it was like a billion dollars? Um

633
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:56,040
It wouldn't be but what if it was yeah, I

634
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:02,600
This is this is about to go to a very different place. We don't have to no no no that's fine

635
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:06,760
It's no different place. I didn't say a bad place. Okay, but I don't know if you noticed

636
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:14,520
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

637
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:20,280
But over a span of the first four hours it got 15,000 views

638
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:25,160
Which is you know, you know that whole LTT really fell off

639
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:33,560
meme You know where people will be like What only a hundred views in 10 seconds LTT fell off like actually felt like that

640
01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:37,640
um Well, I I had to think about

641
01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:42,120
What that would mean right if if all of a sudden

642
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:46,760
That tanked our channel momentum to the point where every video

643
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:51,800
was gonna get you know 20 to 30,000 views

644
01:03:52,760 --> 01:04:00,760
um I had to think about what that would mean right and there was a really cool comment on one of the uh,

645
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:06,440
I think it was either on the ztt video or it was on reddit. I can't remember where I saw it, but

646
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:09,800
Um, basically ztt. Was it tightening?

647
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:15,880
So mario zax tectur. See oh, I use z and z interchangeably. I don't really care. Whatever flows better

648
01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:20,760
I do the same thing. I was just I was just razzing me um

649
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:25,800
So, oh, what was I saying? Really you derailed me for that. You know what I had it coming. Um

650
01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:33,720
You probably owe me a few of those Oh, yeah, I saw a really cool comment that basically said something along the lines of

651
01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:37,480
If Linus's legacy at the end of all of this

652
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:40,600
Is a bunch of offshoot channels

653
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:45,800
Doing really incredible work having cut their teeth at Linus media group

654
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:51,960
And creator warehouse and Floatplane and who go out and go forth

655
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:56,840
And create incredible content and products and technology

656
01:04:57,560 --> 01:05:00,600
For years to come, you know long after he retires

657
01:05:02,200 --> 01:05:05,160
Well, that'd be pretty cool with technically at its root

658
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:11,320
Your goal was to start little fires, right? I mean, yeah, that was that's how I've always described it

659
01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:15,960
It's a pretty crazy version of that it is it's not a way that I had necessarily

660
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:19,160
Thought about it as much before but I mean

661
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:26,600
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

662
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:30,760
When I submitted my resignation and he could try to talk me out of it a little bit

663
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:35,080
But once he figured out that I had made up my mind

664
01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:38,040
He basically said okay. Well, let's figure out how to do this

665
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:43,400
And I was like, oh, that that was it and he's like, well, nobody works at the same place forever

666
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:47,960
And I just I was like, oh, yeah I can't of course not

667
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:51,000
Like of course I wasn't going to work here forever ncix is totally do

668
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:56,840
Yeah, ncix entire cultures japan that are like very largely based around that not here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, not here

669
01:05:56,920 --> 01:06:04,520
Yeah, um, and and I mean ncix itself had only existed since I think 1996 or something like that like or 94

670
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:12,440
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

671
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:19,000
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

672
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:23,080
I was going to work there for 65 years like that's not

673
01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:29,640
That's not realistic. That's not a reasonable Assault or until I was 65. Excuse me. That's not a reasonable assumption, right?

674
01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:33,560
and so it was something that I've that I you know, I

675
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:37,240
I valued keeping the same team around

676
01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:40,280
I've always been like try to keep the band together

677
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:44,840
kind of kind of person I mean, you know that right?

678
01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:52,120
But I also recognized that that wasn't going to be possible forever and the best case scenario

679
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:58,440
was that People would was that Linus media group would look really amazing on a resume

680
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:07,800
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

681
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:13,000
like like centerpiece of your job history

682
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:15,320
Well, that's pretty cool too

683
01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:20,280
At this point, it's the only part of mine that matters at all

684
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:25,160
Yeah, what else would you have like picking blueberries and like cutting lawns like honestly that was part of this

685
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:30,120
I can play I know it's like line items Ah

686
01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:36,040
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

687
01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:43,240
No, I think I'm trying to remember technically NSAX

688
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:48,360
Before then was self-employed before then would have been bread factory. Nice. So like

689
01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:55,480
Okay, before bread factory would be more self-employment, but also geek squad. So like dude

690
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:59,640
I don't know. What's the point sometimes? I will get resumes from people

691
01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:06,840
that have like Quite a few years of like their career and then also like yeah, I worked at like

692
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:09,800
McDonald's and Best Buy and it's like

693
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:14,840
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

694
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:20,680
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

695
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:24,840
Yeah, I don't know It doesn't mean anything to me at that point

696
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:30,040
Coming back to what we were actually talking about which was, you know, where I was going

697
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:36,120
Up one of the places that my mind went seeing that performance on the channel was

698
01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:43,240
Okay, what if this is it? Right, because really for the scrapper doors. They always do really bad. I'll thought not that bad

699
01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:48,760
But this is also one that everybody just saw not even close to that bad and they just watched this one

700
01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:54,600
Well, it's not happening in a vacuum though. We we had our lowest day for viewership in years

701
01:08:54,840 --> 01:09:02,760
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

702
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:08,840
This year So whether whether you want to point at I don't I don't think it's all viewpocalypse, right?

703
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:13,640
So whether you want to point at, you know, an aging out or interesting out

704
01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:17,720
audience or whether you want to point at sort of my various

705
01:09:18,440 --> 01:09:23,880
Controversies or hot takes or, you know, whatever over the years. I think there's a I think there's a natural

706
01:09:24,440 --> 01:09:31,320
Decay in interest in a public figure or in a band or in a tv show any form of media

707
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:35,160
That takes place. I don't think anything can be popular forever

708
01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:40,600
And so I've I've been telling myself since the very very beginning some day

709
01:09:41,880 --> 01:09:48,680
My son will set right it will happen Yeah, and and so, you know, there have been various times over the years

710
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:52,760
And you know because you've had a front row seat for all of it that I've sat there and I've gone

711
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:56,760
Okay, maybe this is it This could be it the same thing

712
01:09:57,320 --> 01:10:01,320
And hold on because I'm still I still need to answer your question. Sure. I'm getting there. I promise

713
01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:06,600
and so When I thought about that, right?

714
01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:10,440
Like I have options I could I could still sell the asset

715
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:17,720
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

716
01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:21,880
Dark thoughts at a dark time, right? I was like

717
01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:26,120
no I think I I think the only viable

718
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:28,920
I think the only viable options would be to

719
01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:34,920
bow out gracefully Rather than sell to pe

720
01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:39,640
I don't I don't I don't think I would want to do that. I don't pull a jack sparrow

721
01:10:41,080 --> 01:10:46,280
Ride the ship into the harbor just like as it sinks and and and the only

722
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:51,320
Like the the thing that bothered me most about that thought

723
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:56,120
was that our world-class team

724
01:10:56,120 --> 01:11:00,920
Would have to update their resumes with Hopefully a really outstanding

725
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:05,480
Piece to put on it. Would you like part it out?

726
01:11:06,760 --> 01:11:13,160
I mean we could this is a weird line of thinking to even go down at all, especially publicly, but like yeah

727
01:11:13,480 --> 01:11:20,760
I mean, it's not impossible. Technically creator warehouse is a separate company from Floatplane, which is a separate company from Linus media group

728
01:11:21,480 --> 01:11:28,440
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

729
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:35,000
Shut operations down shutting down Floatplane would hurt other creators, but tell me this

730
01:11:36,200 --> 01:11:42,840
you know What what would be better for it? Let's take let's take it. Let's take a completely hypothetical, right?

731
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:47,320
Like what would be better for someone like a Colton and the team at business land

732
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:50,600
If we parted out their department and sold it

733
01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:57,240
Or if we did a severance package that gives them a little kick in the ass and then they go and

734
01:11:57,880 --> 01:12:04,280
Create an agency What would be better for them? Would it be viable for it to be an option? I have no idea

735
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:10,840
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

736
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:16,360
Riding the wave and see where it goes Then I think that would be the way that I would like it to go

737
01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:20,840
Leave it up to the employee and and I think it would have to be something that would be a conversation

738
01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:25,400
Right because not everyone would feel the same way that you would to be very clear

739
01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:31,960
Like it's uh, I don't actually think that this is the end and one of the one of the cool

740
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:34,520
Yeah, if there's any employees watching right now

741
01:12:36,440 --> 01:12:41,400
I I was honestly very surprised when I saw that title come up as a newly published video

742
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:49,080
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

743
01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:52,840
Um, anyway, the point is don't don't don't freak out

744
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:58,840
Because we are still operating extremely sustainably. We have um

745
01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:04,440
We're done a very good job. We're not one thing now of diversifying

746
01:13:05,240 --> 01:13:08,760
Yeah, and sometime it's it's another group's turn to

747
01:13:09,640 --> 01:13:16,360
Hold the ship together. Yep. And it's okay and and uh, and that doesn't mean that you know one

748
01:13:17,240 --> 01:13:21,880
Group that is that that no one else is carrying any weight or anything like that

749
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:28,440
It just means that we are uh, we're a bigger machine which comes with the disadvantages of being a bigger machine

750
01:13:28,440 --> 01:13:35,080
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

751
01:13:35,560 --> 01:13:39,640
I'm not just a guy in his house making tech videos. I mean a lot of

752
01:13:40,440 --> 01:13:45,800
A lot of youtubers whether you guys are aware of it or not or you think about it or you don't

753
01:13:46,760 --> 01:13:54,040
Are enormous machines with lawyers and agents and employees and this has been really surprising to me

754
01:13:55,640 --> 01:14:00,120
I've been having more and more conversations with creators over the last two years especially

755
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:08,200
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

756
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:12,840
It's like whoa like where did that come from? So we've just been extremely transparent about it

757
01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:17,800
But that doesn't mean that we are any different from necessarily any other youtube operation, right?

758
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:23,320
And some of them don't want that disclosed, which is why i'm not naming. Yeah. Well, yeah, right because and

759
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:29,400
It's a perspective thing to go back and do it again, right? Like it has clearly been not beneficial

760
01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:36,680
To our brand and to my image for us to be a corporation and for us to put our employees

761
01:14:37,160 --> 01:14:45,800
front and center right Like from a from a corporate standpoint. Was there any benefit to to the corporation?

762
01:14:46,440 --> 01:14:49,320
To people gaining notoriety here and then

763
01:14:49,960 --> 01:14:53,560
Taking that and going out and doing their own thing. No, of course not

764
01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:57,480
Personally i'm happy to see people spread their wings

765
01:14:58,120 --> 01:15:05,240
But from a corporate standpoint No from a corporate standpoint. It should all hyperfeed into of course Linus fame

766
01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:14,360
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

767
01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:20,440
Label work done by their employees. It's just theirs because that's their brand. I know this is totally a thing

768
01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:23,560
I know and it's been it's been very

769
01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:26,680
Very fascinating to watch

770
01:15:28,920 --> 01:15:32,440
To watch the way that that my image has sort of

771
01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:39,000
Been morphed over the years because i'm not perfect. I make lots and lots and lots of mistakes. Yeah, see exactly, right?

772
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:46,520
Um, I make I make tons of mistakes Uh, but some of the things that I have done over the years were done with

773
01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:53,480
A very high degree of intention like one of the things that I do when I co-host with people is I make myself

774
01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:58,840
the foil the clown the one who asks the silly questions or or

775
01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:03,320
Pretends that I don't understand it like when I was when I was shooting with Charles

776
01:16:03,480 --> 01:16:06,840
Interview style stuff when I was shooting with Charles uh thugger

777
01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:10,200
So we had the video that came out earlier this week chasing over clocking records

778
01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:15,960
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

779
01:16:16,440 --> 01:16:20,120
Um, he he hasn't worked with me very much, especially not on camera

780
01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:25,240
And so what kept happening when we were making the video on the chiller is I would ask him a question

781
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:31,560
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

782
01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:35,800
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

783
01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:41,560
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

784
01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:45,400
In order to get him to be the one to explain it. It's his baby, right? He built it

785
01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:49,000
And so to me I feel like he should have a chance to explain it

786
01:16:49,480 --> 01:16:53,640
um, and it's it's just been it's been it's been fascinating to uh

787
01:16:54,440 --> 01:17:01,000
To watch the way that that has been sort of turned into that I'm all about me 100 all the time

788
01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:04,760
Observing your own fame or something. Yeah. I don't know like

789
01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:13,240
Oh, yeah, I remember where where I wanted to go with this

790
01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:20,120
um I've been trying to figure out what it is that makes this podcast or what live stream

791
01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:25,000
Whatever you want to call it tolerable to anyone because do you even remember where we started here?

792
01:17:25,560 --> 01:17:30,120
Yeah Well, sort of would I take the Saudi money? Yeah, right?

793
01:17:30,760 --> 01:17:34,120
So, you know how everyone who works here like has a dd

794
01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:37,240
Yeah, you think all the viewers do I think they must

795
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:41,720
It's the only way any of this could make any sense so that they can come with us

796
01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:47,400
Because I'm trying to I'm trying to imagine someone in their car, right?

797
01:17:47,400 --> 01:17:51,480
Like they're they're driving they're on a road trip somewhere and they're trying to listen to this bull

798
01:17:52,120 --> 01:17:56,840
I follow along with it. It's just like Dan hit them with a pole. You got to hit them with a pole now

799
01:17:57,400 --> 01:18:01,160
I do I do think that makes sense because I was at an event earlier this week

800
01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:07,000
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

801
01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:13,960
Yeah, I was at an event earlier this week and I tangented before I really started a proper sentence like four or five times

802
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:20,840
And I paused and apologized and both people like physically recoiled from the apology and we're like don't worry

803
01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:24,760
We both have 80 d. It's fine. We were following you. I was like, oh, okay

804
01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:33,720
Never mind. We're good Lordy, yeah, okay, so we're sitting at around 69% nice nice

805
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:36,680
nice

806
01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:44,440
Uh, yeah, uh jura soul in Floatplane chat says we are ad d borg resistances. Oh butterfly

807
01:18:46,920 --> 01:18:51,880
Um, what was that? Oh, I was gonna say something about uh, oh, right. Yeah the diversification

808
01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:57,880
Uh, we really appreciate our float goats by the way along with the the people who support us through

809
01:18:59,240 --> 01:19:02,920
What float goats is crazy. That's new, isn't it?

810
01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:05,960
I don't think I've heard float goats. That's not new

811
01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:11,160
Have you heard that before yikes? No, I have not. Yeah, I mean, what's wrong with float goats?

812
01:19:11,160 --> 01:19:14,120
That's messed up dude to describe the floating subscribers

813
01:19:16,280 --> 01:19:20,200
Float floating. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah

814
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:27,720
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

815
01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:32,680
Is it very nice when they're floating? I think so. Why am I missing something here? Is this good?

816
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:40,840
Is this sexual? Yeah, dude, what goat greatest of all time? What rhymes with goat for sure

817
01:19:42,360 --> 01:19:45,320
Mote float and what runs with float?

818
01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:51,400
No, not goat. Yeah, runs with float rungen got it float

819
01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:57,560
Do you actually not get this note? Do you actually not get this coat? Are you getting better at acting?

820
01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:00,680
I actually have no idea what you're talking about. Okay. Okay float

821
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:07,240
The other people this is extremely ADHD

822
01:20:08,520 --> 01:20:12,840
Eote float goat

823
01:20:12,840 --> 01:20:16,280

829
01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:37,240
Toat

830
01:20:41,720 --> 01:20:43,720
What's another T one?

831
01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:47,240
Pick a pick a different T one

832
01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:52,520
I was 100% convinced he was just gonna say it and then get it

833
01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:55,400
And then he said toat Oh, float

834
01:20:56,840 --> 01:21:00,200
There you go Good, good job

835
01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:03,160
You completely bore inside of me with the toat

836
01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:07,160
Worst joke I didn't see toat coming at all It's a word

837
01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:11,080
What do you want from me? For sure, you're right. I just didn't see it coming

838
01:21:11,720 --> 01:21:15,560
Carry around a little Spring it with you

839
01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:22,040
Throat goat Ridiculous

840
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:26,840
What were we talking about ADHD? I think you were talking about ADHD

841
01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:31,800
We were coming off of the back of the I was thanking our float

842
01:21:32,840 --> 01:21:38,200
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

843
01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:41,160
Our float goats

844
01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:49,880
Stop Our supporters on Floatplane. Are you happy? Yeah. All right

845
01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:53,880
Okay, so I was thanking our supporters on throat plane

846
01:21:56,760 --> 01:21:58,760
I'm just bugging them at this point

847
01:21:59,960 --> 01:22:04,440
For helping make us more resilient against any kind of interruptions in our in our business

848
01:22:04,440 --> 01:22:08,600
I think you guys might have seen not that long ago when we did the how does LMG make money video that adds

849
01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:13,800
Sense is like less than 10 of our revenue now. So we are a lot less susceptible to

850
01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:20,440
Momentary changes in momentum on the channel, but we do have to figure out how to get viewership. It's a throat plane

851
01:22:21,240 --> 01:22:28,120
That's actually pretty cool Was that the one that was made for that car that was like manufactured across the atlantic or whatever?

852
01:22:28,280 --> 01:22:32,600
Is that the special one plane that carries planes? Oh, no, that's a different one. Yeah

853
01:22:33,080 --> 01:22:38,360
um I don't actually remember what it's called, but c5 galaxy. Yeah, that's okay

854
01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:42,840
um Anyway, if anyone else wants to subscribe on Floatplane, that's cool

855
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:46,280
But we do have to we do have to figure out the viewership thing and I think the tech house

856
01:22:46,600 --> 01:22:49,480
I think that doing some some bigger

857
01:22:50,120 --> 01:22:57,560
serialized content Is going to be a huge part of getting getting back to the way things were and also

858
01:22:57,880 --> 01:23:03,160
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

859
01:23:03,320 --> 01:23:09,480
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

860
01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:15,320
So he just went to Best Buy and was like, okay, what is the minimum viable monitor?

861
01:23:16,360 --> 01:23:22,840
And you got a 1080p. I want to say it was 23 or 24 inch IPS for 70 dollars

862
01:23:23,480 --> 01:23:25,800
So we're just gonna we're just gonna like make a video about it

863
01:23:26,760 --> 01:23:34,520
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?

864
01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:41,240
Are like, uh, maybe maybe that can be a series really. Yeah. Yeah, I think we could have like I yeah

865
01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:49,240
series, let's just call it minimum viable product So gaming monitor minimum viable product episode one or something like that buying it

866
01:23:50,120 --> 01:23:56,920
buying the buying the Bare minimum gaming monitor minimum viable product or like something along those lines

867
01:23:56,920 --> 01:24:02,360
I think we could make minimum viable product a series. So mdp is it's more of like a software term

868
01:24:02,840 --> 01:24:09,960
um for like your The the the basic sort of spec that you think is is shippable

869
01:24:10,360 --> 01:24:15,480
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

870
01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:19,080
But uh, yeah, oh dude. I love it. I like it because

871
01:24:19,720 --> 01:24:23,400
You know, financial times are so tough and it's financial times are tough

872
01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:27,320
But it's hard to get people to watch content about cheap things. I I know

873
01:24:27,640 --> 01:24:32,920
Which is a very frustrating combination people get so mad at you for making videos about expensive stuff

874
01:24:32,920 --> 01:24:40,120
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

875
01:24:40,280 --> 01:24:44,600
Minimum viable purchase is pretty good too. That's not bad. Um, so that's from

876
01:24:45,480 --> 01:24:49,800
That's not bad or may or something whatever. I'm not even gonna try to pronounce that either one of those works

877
01:24:49,960 --> 01:24:55,000
Yeah, so yeah, I think that's pretty cool. I uh, I want well, see here's the thing

878
01:24:55,080 --> 01:24:59,400
So pug boy 1321 says as a poor people. I love seeing budget friendly stuff

879
01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:03,560
Okay, but that's the problem. We're a product focused channel and so

880
01:25:04,680 --> 01:25:08,040
How do I put this gently? um

881
01:25:08,040 --> 01:25:11,560
Regardless of the cost of the item um

882
01:25:11,640 --> 01:25:16,840
A lot of people undergoing financial hardship are simply not shopping for anything

883
01:25:17,480 --> 01:25:23,400
So that affiliates are lower and so making I'm not even talking about that. I'm just talking sure views

884
01:25:24,600 --> 01:25:29,640
Somehow I see you know the whole k-shaped that's interesting the k-shaped recovery thing

885
01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:37,800
Like it is actually it is more I was reading yesterday that the 20 percent of the luxury goods market is apparently the top

886
01:25:38,120 --> 01:25:43,400
1% of earners So when you think about that you think about like the pc industry or whatever

887
01:25:43,720 --> 01:25:47,480
Like your top if you expand that top 1% you expand it to 10 percent

888
01:25:47,640 --> 01:25:56,360
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

889
01:25:57,720 --> 01:26:01,880
Sorry compared to making a video about on-board graphics because if you think about when we were there

890
01:26:02,120 --> 01:26:07,960
Yeah, we were scrapyard warzing. Yeah, we're buying used. So we're not in the all my stuff second hand back then

891
01:26:08,840 --> 01:26:12,360
The new stuff was for like other people's builds Yeah

892
01:26:12,360 --> 01:26:19,480
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

893
01:26:19,800 --> 01:26:23,880
Yeah, like I still remember you know you you build in a case and you get them to upgrade their fans

894
01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:30,200
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

895
01:26:30,920 --> 01:26:34,200
70 800 gtx's from

896
01:26:34,760 --> 01:26:41,800
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

897
01:26:41,880 --> 01:26:45,240
or x x 1950 x tx's or something like that

898
01:26:46,040 --> 01:26:49,160
and I was like so

899
01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:54,280
You know not to be rude or anything, but like a non-tech did I had to head of these and

900
01:26:55,080 --> 01:26:59,640
Like the one that you're upgrading to is worse and he was literally like I just want to try it

901
01:27:00,200 --> 01:27:04,280
And like when I'm done with it and video will probably have something new and I'll just move to that anyway

902
01:27:05,240 --> 01:27:09,640
And I was like That's crazy

903
01:27:11,560 --> 01:27:17,160
Sick thanks for the card see uh Do you do you need a young boy to do anything for you?

904
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:25,080
What is that was that was that what did you call the the full face subscribers?

905
01:27:25,080 --> 01:27:27,080
I

906
01:27:28,760 --> 01:27:30,760
Got dead I heard

907
01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:35,320
I don't know if his mic was unmuted, but I got dead pretty good

908
01:27:38,760 --> 01:27:40,760
Um, sure did he where?

909
01:27:42,200 --> 01:27:45,400
Did he get off yet? I mean he got off a lot of times, but like

910
01:27:46,840 --> 01:27:51,320
He's just trying to get his he's trying to get his sentence reduced people talking about pardons. Is he really?

911
01:27:51,400 --> 01:27:54,920
Yeah, I don't know. You know what let's not talk about Shawn. Did he cooms comes?

912
01:27:56,520 --> 01:28:00,520
I don't know how to pronounce his name Is it c o mbs?

913
01:28:01,320 --> 01:28:04,840
Comey comies like a communist. I don't know

914
01:28:05,800 --> 01:28:09,640
Are you not know any of these terms? I know comey

915
01:28:12,360 --> 01:28:18,280
He just misheard me. Yeah, sure. Okay. Oh man. Wow comies

916
01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:26,280
Is that a thing so these are gonna just end up as a soundboard

917
01:28:27,720 --> 01:28:31,960
You're trading the ai saying these words. No wonder you didn't know what a hard hour was

918
01:28:33,960 --> 01:28:35,960
What am I missing here?

919
01:28:39,400 --> 01:28:44,200
I can't explain this minus gas light tips. I don't know why I do that

920
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:52,600
Is it sexual? Yes It's a cutesy term for the whole word minus all of the letters past the first three

921
01:28:54,680 --> 01:28:58,200
What like semen? Yeah, well, you can't just say that you could just say that what do you mean?

922
01:28:58,760 --> 01:29:06,600
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?

923
01:29:09,080 --> 01:29:14,600
All right Next see if I were to try to define comies

924
01:29:14,680 --> 01:29:18,280
I would think it's something more along the lines of like congealed

925
01:29:18,840 --> 01:29:22,440
semen in the shape of like little bears They're like

926
01:29:22,440 --> 01:29:26,840
They're like the fruit snacks we buy Those ones

927
01:29:34,840 --> 01:29:36,840
That's that's clever

928
01:29:45,240 --> 01:29:49,880
Oh My god, do we do sponsors now?

929
01:30:03,240 --> 01:30:07,640
Yeah, we just put this in a jar for later Oh

930
01:30:09,960 --> 01:30:12,840
Okay, we need something

931
01:30:13,800 --> 01:30:16,680
Speaking of for no, let's not talk about that right now. Okay

932
01:30:19,080 --> 01:30:23,160
Go find an actual topic for crying out loud Whale land

933
01:30:23,160 --> 01:30:28,600
No, no, no one of the topics the writer's prepared. So we get through some of them. Okay, sure

934
01:30:29,080 --> 01:30:33,240
We're supposed to do this. EW and google and apple cracked. Yeah, but we need we need

935
01:30:33,960 --> 01:30:37,160
Do one of them at ADHD awareness month liners, dude

936
01:30:37,240 --> 01:30:44,440
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

937
01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:47,320
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah google and apple cracked down on

938
01:30:48,440 --> 01:30:53,400
Timestamps guy by the way, no key. Do not prank me in here. We go. Here we go

939
01:30:53,640 --> 01:30:56,520
By the way, a lot of people don't realize that we pay timestamp guy

940
01:30:57,080 --> 01:30:59,800
Like I see I've seen a bunch of comments lately that we're like

941
01:31:00,360 --> 01:31:07,080
Cheap fucking Or whatever because we don't pay for timestamps. You guys know we've paid timestamp guy for like years, right?

942
01:31:07,800 --> 01:31:11,320
Like he's not a random Like do people not

943
01:31:11,320 --> 01:31:15,080
Like man, it is amazing the kind of stuff people assume about us. Anyway carry on

944
01:31:15,640 --> 01:31:19,320
So I was just reminded because I've needed to talk to I needed to talk to timestamp guy

945
01:31:19,400 --> 01:31:21,400
I have a story just for you

946
01:31:22,440 --> 01:31:28,120
Lead float goat, uh, there's pixel pixel users will be able to flip their nav option soon

947
01:31:28,840 --> 01:31:30,840
Maybe

948
01:31:32,680 --> 01:31:37,080
Maybe Android 16 qpr 2 beta 2

949
01:31:38,200 --> 01:31:45,160
What a what a name what a name? Release revealed a new page coming to your navigation settings to adjust your button order

950
01:31:45,560 --> 01:31:53,640
According to Android authority, it will be accessible through a settings cog icon next to the three button navigation option in your settings

951
01:31:53,640 --> 01:31:59,480
I'm assuming it's exactly what you'd expect It allows you to swap the back and the recent buttons in the ui

952
01:32:00,120 --> 01:32:04,840
There's no further customization beyond that. Okay. That's all I wanted probably all that was needed

953
01:32:04,840 --> 01:32:11,240
It's exactly what has already existed in skins from the likes of samsung xiaomi 1 plus freaking

954
01:32:11,240 --> 01:32:17,000
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

955
01:32:17,720 --> 01:32:21,560
totally been a thing for like 10 years

956
01:32:21,640 --> 01:32:29,400
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

957
01:32:30,200 --> 01:32:36,600
I don't I often find that when I'm swiping through a carousel for instance, or if I am

958
01:32:38,040 --> 01:32:40,360
Poking at something on like a desktop

959
01:32:41,320 --> 01:32:48,520
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

960
01:32:48,840 --> 01:32:54,760
I don't prefer it I like having the back button right here

961
01:32:55,160 --> 01:33:01,640
I like being able to double tap the um the task view button to switch to my last app rather than drag up

962
01:33:02,600 --> 01:33:09,160
Wait Move over and touch or drag up weight and touch. Um, I am so excited

963
01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:14,680
Because Not that I want to run a pixel. Um

964
01:33:15,320 --> 01:33:18,680
I want to go xperia and

965
01:33:18,760 --> 01:33:23,960
Sony has publicly stated that they stick pretty close to

966
01:33:24,440 --> 01:33:31,640
Stock Android whatever the f*** that means these days and have no plans to implement it as part of their skin

967
01:33:32,360 --> 01:33:34,600
But this might mean that they might get it

968
01:33:36,600 --> 01:33:44,120
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

969
01:33:44,920 --> 01:33:48,600
Dude, I don't even have to care that AirPods Pro 3 suck anymore

970
01:33:49,480 --> 01:33:54,280
This is so cool I'm so excited right now. They're really nice

971
01:33:55,400 --> 01:33:59,160
They're really He's intrigued now. He might buy something

972
01:33:59,720 --> 01:34:03,320
You can have my old one next gen me down for luke

973
01:34:03,960 --> 01:34:11,160
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

974
01:34:11,320 --> 01:34:13,960
This setting is not even live yet. This isn't a guarantee

975
01:34:14,360 --> 01:34:18,200
Android authority had to tinker to enable it and believes the feature

976
01:34:18,600 --> 01:34:23,960
Will only appear in december's public release if it's also available in the next beta release

977
01:34:24,440 --> 01:34:28,520
Um, but like seriously this is an obstacle for me

978
01:34:28,920 --> 01:34:33,000
And what's really frustrating is you used to be able to just do this with third-party launchers

979
01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:36,680
Even on phones that didn't have built-in support for it

980
01:34:37,000 --> 01:34:43,880
But google locked that down during like launcher lockdown gait a thousand years ago when they had far less control over

981
01:34:44,280 --> 01:34:49,400
Customizing the navigation of the system. So it's just been this there's just been this desert of wow

982
01:34:49,560 --> 01:34:56,200
What a stupid problem for us to even have can we just fix it because literally your largest handset oem

983
01:34:56,600 --> 01:35:03,160
Puts the back button on the right. So literally anybody coming from a samsung is going if they didn't change the setting

984
01:35:03,240 --> 01:35:06,840
Is going to be used to that. So just make it an option

985
01:35:07,400 --> 01:35:14,520
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

986
01:35:14,600 --> 01:35:17,320
When you set up your phone, they would prompt you. Hey, where do you want these?

987
01:35:19,160 --> 01:35:23,480
Just so just do it. It's how many lines of code is this for real though

988
01:35:24,200 --> 01:35:29,160
Just move this button there and move this one there interchange them like honestly they

989
01:35:29,720 --> 01:35:35,320
If Corsair and Elgato can have configurable buttons on a stream deck, you do not have an excuse

990
01:35:35,560 --> 01:35:39,560
I want to see something a little bit wack. I'd love to I tried to look up Xperia phones

991
01:35:40,520 --> 01:35:48,600
wikipedia is the first Well, yeah, I mean they're not in this market. They never have. Yeah, that's still like and I

992
01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:53,400
Whether Dan was referring to their market share or their marketing. He's right

993
01:35:54,280 --> 01:36:00,440
Uh, yeah, correct So can you even buy them here? I don't know, but I'll find one. I'll find a way

994
01:36:01,000 --> 01:36:05,000
I'll get one. I import them. The newer models have a us variant, but

995
01:36:05,800 --> 01:36:09,480
The rest of them are like I buy the china ones because they have

996
01:36:10,040 --> 01:36:14,120
Like the hong kong variant has unlock bootloader. So you can really like put whatever you want on it

997
01:36:14,200 --> 01:36:18,760
That makes sense because it's not SD card physical sim headphone jack

998
01:36:19,400 --> 01:36:24,680
Um, mine's got like Zeiss lenses physical zoom the camera bumps not that bad

999
01:36:24,920 --> 01:36:28,120
They have cool features that go along with their cameras too

1000
01:36:28,200 --> 01:36:31,480
Like you can use them as viewfinders and stuff. Some of them like HDR

1001
01:36:31,960 --> 01:36:36,600
If you have a playstation, you can use it as a wireless screen that attaches to the top of your controller

1002
01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:43,320
It's like kind of bonkers This model that I have here has the highest ppi of any phone

1003
01:36:43,880 --> 01:36:51,560
at 600 and Okay, that's 30. I actually do not support these ridiculous. They downgraded the display in the later model

1004
01:36:51,560 --> 01:36:57,560
You should have but I'm upset because this one's 21 by 9 and the new ones are a slightly different aspect ratio

1005
01:36:57,800 --> 01:37:03,320
It has no notch and no hole punch. Yep, which is another reason why I like them. I'm so excited

1006
01:37:03,400 --> 01:37:09,160
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

1007
01:37:09,640 --> 01:37:13,160
I and it's not even because I couldn't just use gestures on the sony

1008
01:37:13,560 --> 01:37:17,400
But I I said and I am a man of my word

1009
01:37:18,360 --> 01:37:23,400
I said that I want them to fix it and I will use an xperia phone when they fix it

1010
01:37:23,720 --> 01:37:28,200
So in much the same way that I told plex. Hey fix your fix your s***

1011
01:37:28,600 --> 01:37:34,040
And then we will be able to work together and as you know and promote your stuff again

1012
01:37:34,600 --> 01:37:37,480
Um, and we won't do it until they do same thing

1013
01:37:38,760 --> 01:37:45,560
Yeah customizable is good. I support you It's surprising how hard it is to even find any information on these ones. Oh, yeah

1014
01:37:45,720 --> 01:37:52,120
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

1015
01:37:52,280 --> 01:37:58,600
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

1016
01:37:58,680 --> 01:38:03,400
It looks exactly like the old phone, but it's it has an indecipherable name

1017
01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:08,200
It is slightly better like every other phone. We don't care

1018
01:38:08,680 --> 01:38:12,360
Uh, we will sell 20 and they will be the best phone. I don't I've did whatever

1019
01:38:12,840 --> 01:38:18,920
That's so weird. It's waterproof and it has dual sim sd card. It has two less sim removal

1020
01:38:18,920 --> 01:38:23,560
They were the first to do waterproof, weren't they? I have no idea. I believe so. Was it the xperia?

1021
01:38:23,720 --> 01:38:27,400
Was it the xperia one being a thing if they weren't the first they were close

1022
01:38:28,120 --> 01:38:33,080
Yeah, they were they were very early on the whole waterproof phone actually proof, obviously

1023
01:38:34,280 --> 01:38:38,520
The xperia z Yeah, because I think I did a video

1024
01:38:38,520 --> 01:38:44,680
I don't know how credible tnt magazine.com is I mean, this isn't even grammatically correct, but sony announced

1025
01:38:44,680 --> 01:38:50,840
I seem to recall that there was a there was a display that they had at ces where

1026
01:38:51,240 --> 01:38:55,720
They had the phone submerged in water and the screen was on or something like yeah this

1027
01:38:56,520 --> 01:38:59,720
This this thing I saw this

1028
01:38:59,720 --> 01:39:03,800
Yeah, remember this. Did you see this? Yeah

1029
01:39:04,040 --> 01:39:07,720
This was this was like that was nuts back then dude that was crazy

1030
01:39:07,800 --> 01:39:13,000
Yeah, this this blew people's minds back and the fact that they made it so that you hold the button to do it

1031
01:39:13,000 --> 01:39:16,600
Yeah, was like such a what a flex good sigh off what a flex

1032
01:39:17,080 --> 01:39:22,600
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

1033
01:39:22,680 --> 01:39:26,280
Don't don't tell me more than one thing just tell me one thing because otherwise

1034
01:39:26,280 --> 01:39:29,400
I don't even know any of the things you said cw announcements. Yes, sir

1035
01:39:30,120 --> 01:39:34,600
Got an everyday carry. How about we make that an everything carry

1036
01:39:35,480 --> 01:39:42,440
This weekend starting now you can get our cargo pants for just 99 dollars and 99 cents on both our u.s

1037
01:39:42,760 --> 01:39:50,840
and global site shop now at LMG.gg slash cargo pants. They've been extremely well received

1038
01:39:51,640 --> 01:39:56,760
Almost too perfect says willy b smart design cozy and

1039
01:39:57,720 --> 01:40:00,680
Unitarian do you mean utilitarian?

1040
01:40:01,640 --> 01:40:04,040
What the heck is unitarian?

1041
01:40:05,240 --> 01:40:12,600
now i'm Unitarianism a liberal religious tradition that affirms the unity of god rather than the christian trinity

1042
01:40:13,240 --> 01:40:20,440
And emphasizes individual freedom of belief compassion and social justice my aunt is a unitarian minister. Oh really?

1043
01:40:21,240 --> 01:40:25,480
I don't think that's what they meant for the pants probably not i'm assuming

1044
01:40:25,720 --> 01:40:35,880
Yeah, i'm thinking probably not Anyway, the point is that um, oh here we go. Uh chase r says great work pants. I'm a controls engineer

1045
01:40:36,280 --> 01:40:40,280
These pants are great for the job site. Yeah great pants. So

1046
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:47,960
Get yourself some get yourself some cargo pants for 99 99 on both the us and global site

1047
01:40:48,440 --> 01:40:52,920
But that's not all if you buy a precision screwdriver and bitcase bundle

1048
01:40:53,080 --> 01:41:00,440
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

1049
01:41:00,680 --> 01:41:04,200
Divided so if you prefer to put your thumb on the top when you're using it

1050
01:41:04,600 --> 01:41:12,120
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

1051
01:41:12,680 --> 01:41:17,080
All you have to do is add both a precision screwdriver and a bitcase bundle to your cart

1052
01:41:18,040 --> 01:41:24,360
And also the end cap set I think and the discount will automatically apply on checkout LMG.gg

1053
01:41:24,680 --> 01:41:27,080
Slash precision bundle

1054
01:41:27,800 --> 01:41:31,880
Precision screwdriver and bitcase so you add that there and then we have the information on the bundle there

1055
01:41:32,040 --> 01:41:37,400
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

1056
01:41:37,800 --> 01:41:43,960
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

1057
01:41:44,200 --> 01:41:47,240
You know like people do then you might as well do it in a way

1058
01:41:47,240 --> 01:41:51,160
They get to high quality merchandise in the mail in a little while rather than just

1059
01:41:51,640 --> 01:41:54,840
Throwing it out there and hoping for the best at least that's the way we see it

1060
01:41:55,560 --> 01:42:00,360
So all you got to do to send a merch message is add one of those terrific items to your cart

1061
01:42:00,600 --> 01:42:06,360
And you will see this interface Merch messages you can show your first name and last name you can make it anonymous

1062
01:42:07,000 --> 01:42:12,200
Either way is good. You can pick a color. Look at that color changing thing that incredible great job

1063
01:42:12,280 --> 01:42:17,160
Wow You can type a message and then it will go to producer Dan who will

1064
01:42:17,880 --> 01:42:21,880
I don't know he'll do something he'll reply to it or he'll forward it or he'll curate it

1065
01:42:21,960 --> 01:42:27,160
And curated ones go a little something like this Dan hit me with a merge message. Absolutely. We've got a few in already

1066
01:42:27,480 --> 01:42:34,760
Hey that we do with those deals. Hey dll Quarter whale vip here. I guess that's one of four whale vip here

1067
01:42:34,760 --> 01:42:39,000
That makes a lot more sense than a quarter of one of them. Oh, no, they could have gone in bulk deal

1068
01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:46,600
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

1069
01:42:47,640 --> 01:42:49,880
I mean hand and is one of the four

1070
01:42:50,920 --> 01:42:55,640
Yeah, but that wouldn't be a quarter of them by mass truth

1071
01:42:55,640 --> 01:43:03,800
all legs But Linus, did you enjoy the whale land? Also the whales pulled off a complete win rematch. Oh

1072
01:43:04,520 --> 01:43:11,320
We got Alliterated what happened? There was a whales versus LMG staff you lost game

1073
01:43:12,520 --> 01:43:17,720
Well, I lost because it didn't happen till pretty late on the second day and no offense to my teammates

1074
01:43:17,720 --> 01:43:21,480
But I wasn't able to put together quite as stacked a team as I would have liked to

1075
01:43:22,120 --> 01:43:27,800
also I probably I probably have not including whale land

1076
01:43:29,240 --> 01:43:34,280
Three or four hours in FPS games over the last year like it just hasn't been what I've been playing

1077
01:43:34,680 --> 01:43:39,960
And they went and practiced throughout the land playing ut 2004

1078
01:43:40,680 --> 01:43:45,080
And challenged us to that game where practice is going to make a difference. Uh, yeah

1079
01:43:45,560 --> 01:43:51,240
Little bit. So we went on to unfamiliar PCs with in some cases unfamiliar peripherals

1080
01:43:51,960 --> 01:43:57,480
Nothing against kyle tinen and chase chase in particular is a very good gamer

1081
01:43:59,160 --> 01:44:03,720
But if I could have chosen I probably would have taken like natalie

1082
01:44:04,440 --> 01:44:10,840
Um, I probably still would have taken chase. No offense to kyle and tinen. They carried they were they did way better than me

1083
01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:15,480
I want to make this abundantly clear. But if I'm trying to put together a team of ringers

1084
01:44:16,120 --> 01:44:20,120
Like I I probably would have I probably would have taken I probably would have taken nat

1085
01:44:20,120 --> 01:44:25,320
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

1086
01:44:25,960 --> 01:44:31,800
I don't know if he plays as much anymore though. So what's the game? Uh, ut 2004 it thomas

1087
01:44:32,360 --> 01:44:38,040
Was he there? Oh, he was I didn't know that thomas was like he's a gamer lead gamer. Yep

1088
01:44:39,080 --> 01:44:42,120
Okay, I'll have to keep that in mind. I don't think he was there anymore by that point

1089
01:44:42,920 --> 01:44:47,160
But anyway, yeah, okay, I might be down for a rematch But you gotta you gotta understand

1090
01:44:47,160 --> 01:44:52,360
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

1091
01:44:52,360 --> 01:44:58,920
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

1092
01:44:59,640 --> 01:45:07,000
um So yeah, maybe yes, I did enjoy well land not in the ways that I was expecting to enjoy it

1093
01:45:07,160 --> 01:45:09,800
I actually had very little time to game. I played like

1094
01:45:10,520 --> 01:45:12,920
Three rounds of halo c e. I played

1095
01:45:13,560 --> 01:45:18,440
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

1096
01:45:18,440 --> 01:45:24,520
Whales and that was it over the span of two days But what I definitely enjoyed was seeing it all come together

1097
01:45:24,520 --> 01:45:29,080
I mean the project's been like years in the making the last time we did a land was ltx 23

1098
01:45:30,040 --> 01:45:35,720
A public one. Yeah. Yeah, or was it 22? Oh god. When was the last ltx 23 23? Yeah, there you go

1099
01:45:35,720 --> 01:45:40,360
So it's so it's been over two years and um and the space there were some

1100
01:45:41,560 --> 01:45:50,200
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

1101
01:45:50,840 --> 01:45:54,360
Uh until I think or the tape to tape area day or I think the vr area

1102
01:45:54,760 --> 01:45:59,160
Or the insanely power hungry vending machines. So I can explain what how okay, so the okay, so hold on

1103
01:45:59,800 --> 01:46:05,000
Give me a sec. Okay. So first of all The original plan was to line both sides with power

1104
01:46:05,480 --> 01:46:10,920
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

1105
01:46:10,920 --> 01:46:13,880
Okay, fine. So we'll do we'll do all down this one side

1106
01:46:14,120 --> 01:46:19,240
We'll do the tables with the spider things this power boxes spider boxes coming out that side and then

1107
01:46:19,640 --> 01:46:22,600
We'll probably just need a couple on this side. Well, okay bad news

1108
01:46:23,160 --> 01:46:27,720
Um, we ended up having to move things around because some staff who didn't even bother to show up for the

1109
01:46:28,280 --> 01:46:33,480
Land complained about not being able to get a spot. So we created a staff area on that side

1110
01:46:34,680 --> 01:46:39,080
Um, that was a bunch of power that used up a bunch. I think I like populated it anyways

1111
01:46:39,400 --> 01:46:43,800
Yeah, anyway, the point is and I wanted to it was I had I was gone because of a work thing

1112
01:46:43,800 --> 01:46:47,320
I wasn't exactly gone because I wanted to be the point is that

1113
01:46:47,880 --> 01:46:53,080
We wouldn't have had that power budget to deal with if you hadn't demanded that we changed the layout of the thing

1114
01:46:53,400 --> 01:46:56,600
So I'm happy that we did we should do it next time too. We should so there was that

1115
01:46:57,000 --> 01:47:04,040
um, and then That used up probably what would have gone to the stage and then compounding this

1116
01:47:04,920 --> 01:47:10,120
This this vending machine company and oh, this is embarrassing. I actually forget

1117
01:47:10,600 --> 01:47:15,640
What they're called now, which really sucks because they were really fancy machines. Super cool about everything

1118
01:47:16,600 --> 01:47:19,080
Um, so they they do they do hot food

1119
01:47:19,720 --> 01:47:24,600
They do like mixed drinks not not like alcoholic beverages

1120
01:47:25,080 --> 01:47:29,800
um Oh, here we go. Here we go. I've got it. Uh, they're called

1121
01:47:30,440 --> 01:47:39,000
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

1122
01:47:39,240 --> 01:47:43,880
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

1123
01:47:43,960 --> 01:47:52,360
But whatever there's the three fancy like very like Japanese feeling like high tech sort of asian feeling like vending machines

1124
01:47:52,920 --> 01:48:02,280
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

1125
01:48:02,920 --> 01:48:09,080
But having some options where we don't have to do the food safe certification. We don't have to do the um

1126
01:48:09,800 --> 01:48:15,560
The the license for it and all of that stuff having some options for people to get like hot food after after they play

1127
01:48:15,640 --> 01:48:20,040
Or have some different options for drinks. They do like coffees teas ice coffees

1128
01:48:21,240 --> 01:48:27,480
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

1129
01:48:27,480 --> 01:48:31,560
I saw some art for it, but I wasn't sure and then they had this cool like ice cream machine

1130
01:48:31,640 --> 01:48:37,000
So like having those for the players would be super cool during tournaments during whale lands or even just day to day

1131
01:48:37,640 --> 01:48:44,200
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

1132
01:48:44,760 --> 01:48:51,000
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

1133
01:48:51,400 --> 01:48:55,960
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?

1134
01:48:56,440 --> 01:49:00,760
Oh my god, they need like 30 or 40 amps at 240 volt

1135
01:49:01,640 --> 01:49:06,200
How are we going to power these stupid things because we never accounted for having heavy power on that side?

1136
01:49:07,960 --> 01:49:11,160
So And then oh right there was supposed to be a retro

1137
01:49:11,640 --> 01:49:17,720
Area and so rove lab sent over a whole bunch of like couch segments. So they're those like modular

1138
01:49:18,040 --> 01:49:26,440
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

1139
01:49:26,440 --> 01:49:29,240
So you can kind of make furniture in any configuration you want

1140
01:49:29,720 --> 01:49:33,080
And they sent over a bunch of stuff that was supposed to be for like a retro gaming corner

1141
01:49:33,320 --> 01:49:37,640
So we had all these retro consoles and I think the plan was to have some displays

1142
01:49:37,640 --> 01:49:42,120
I don't know. I never saw any because I saw all the coaches and I went What about 5v5 tape to tape?

1143
01:49:42,120 --> 01:49:47,320
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

1144
01:49:47,320 --> 01:49:54,920
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

1145
01:49:56,040 --> 01:49:59,560
Just ripping out all the stuff for the ripping out all the stuff for the retro

1146
01:50:00,040 --> 01:50:03,320
Corner and creating a 5v5 like a 10 player

1147
01:50:03,960 --> 01:50:10,040
Roguelite hockey game thing with like a 120 inch projector screen and I actually for sound

1148
01:50:10,840 --> 01:50:15,400
We had something on a projector at the test land or like we wanted to do something on a project

1149
01:50:15,400 --> 01:50:18,520
Right, we wanted to play tape to tape at the test land the internal one. Remember?

1150
01:50:18,920 --> 01:50:22,440
Yes, and we ended up having to go upstairs to the player lounge. Yeah

1151
01:50:23,720 --> 01:50:29,880
I don't even know why because we didn't have sound Uh, so, uh, right luke actually helps me load the speakers

1152
01:50:30,120 --> 01:50:34,200
So for sound for the uh for the little like hockey game lounge

1153
01:50:34,360 --> 01:50:37,880
I actually used the audio solution from scrapyard wars

1154
01:50:38,600 --> 01:50:42,040
Because I don't know we're obviously not doing anything with it. It was just for scrapyard war

1155
01:50:42,040 --> 01:50:48,440
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

1156
01:50:49,160 --> 01:50:51,960
Damn good that epson ls 12 000 projector is man

1157
01:50:52,520 --> 01:50:59,640
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

1158
01:51:00,200 --> 01:51:06,440
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

1159
01:51:07,160 --> 01:51:10,760
Uh, I think it was like three notable internet outages

1160
01:51:11,400 --> 01:51:17,960
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

1161
01:51:18,760 --> 01:51:25,640
To me is a little confusing given that it's like 100 gigabit like supposedly core switch or like whatever. Um,

1162
01:51:26,360 --> 01:51:31,400
I I hope we're running like beta firmware on it and I hope that we can

1163
01:51:32,280 --> 01:51:36,840
What the heck is that shut up tiktok? Why would you play automatically? No, I know why you would do that

1164
01:51:36,920 --> 01:51:39,160
But also just for doing that. Yeah, don't do that

1165
01:51:40,600 --> 01:51:44,760
Yeah, so we're we're looking into those things, uh, you know, we did a test run

1166
01:51:45,080 --> 01:51:52,360
But not with 250 big difference between a test run and now we have a stage and all these other things

1167
01:51:52,440 --> 01:51:56,360
And 250 people and everyone's hitting it differently and yada yada yada

1168
01:51:56,600 --> 01:52:00,200
Have you seen the oh, I'm gonna say this and then I'm not gonna have the numbers immediately available

1169
01:52:00,440 --> 01:52:03,000
Have you seen the data that went through the switches the ports?

1170
01:52:03,560 --> 01:52:09,880
Uh, you seen it. Yeah, you posted in our group chat. Did you see the power monitoring that aj set up? Yeah

1171
01:52:10,440 --> 01:52:16,680
Also, he's down. He posted a video idea. Oh, super cool. Okay. Well, we'll chat about that in that in that meeting

1172
01:52:16,760 --> 01:52:23,880
But um, well, he's looking that up. Uh aj who's uh, like an it infrastructure guy slash Floatplane slash

1173
01:52:24,200 --> 01:52:28,440
I mean, what does he not do at this point? Anyway been here forever. Once you're here forever, you wear a lot of

1174
01:52:28,680 --> 01:52:34,360
Yeah, so he set up power monitoring for the building and I was gonna come to sort of the the power situation

1175
01:52:34,680 --> 01:52:39,640
So what we found is that even though our our like outlets are at capacity

1176
01:52:40,600 --> 01:52:44,360
We were actually nowhere near the capacity of our transformer. So between the two of them

1177
01:52:44,680 --> 01:52:49,960
I think one is rated for a 400,000 watts and the other one is rated for 150,000 watts

1178
01:52:50,040 --> 01:52:55,000
And then I want to say our 250 or something and both of them were at like under half capacity

1179
01:52:55,480 --> 01:53:03,080
so Knowing that nothing we're going to connect to those california standard power outlets is actually going to draw

1180
01:53:03,480 --> 01:53:10,520
the full Amount I'm going to see if we can get an engineer to sign off on us putting some more drops in

1181
01:53:10,840 --> 01:53:15,960
So that we'll just have better flexibility in terms of our layout with the understanding that we just

1182
01:53:16,600 --> 01:53:21,400
Don't use it all and we use our power monitoring. Okay. What am I looking for 24 hour usage?

1183
01:53:22,200 --> 01:53:26,680
Wow Trying to figure out what happened there exactly. Well, uh, oh, okay

1184
01:53:27,320 --> 01:53:32,680
Anywhere between the lowest one I see is 1.39 terabytes

1185
01:53:33,320 --> 01:53:38,760
And the highest one I see is 5.4 terabytes. Were people torrenting at the land?

1186
01:53:39,800 --> 01:53:43,160
I don't know what's going on. AJ's here. So you might be able to answer

1187
01:53:43,240 --> 01:53:49,240
But my guess was that there was weird stuff going on with steam and like local sharing and stuff

1188
01:53:49,800 --> 01:53:54,120
And I know that makes sense. We did tell people to turn off local transfers

1189
01:53:54,680 --> 01:53:59,960
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

1190
01:54:00,520 --> 01:54:04,920
If they don't turn off local transfers, but I suspect local transfers is a default setting now

1191
01:54:05,320 --> 01:54:11,960
So probably most people without even realizing it were transferring game data off of each other on the network

1192
01:54:12,360 --> 01:54:15,240
Yeah, without realizing I suspect that was happening

1193
01:54:16,200 --> 01:54:21,800
Got it. I I don't know though. That was my just like knee jerk like okay. What was that?

1194
01:54:22,840 --> 01:54:31,320
Something happened Bourdaga in Floatplane chat says Linus. Why are you acting like it's crazy? You brought your rig to a land?

1195
01:54:31,480 --> 01:54:36,040
Isn't that the point hashtag you've changed? slash s

1196
01:54:36,040 --> 01:54:41,160
So the reason that I was notable that I brought my old media center pc to the land was I also brought my

1197
01:54:41,640 --> 01:54:45,400
Yeah machine. Yeah, it was amazing how many people saw my rig

1198
01:54:45,880 --> 01:54:51,880
And we're just like you brought your whole rack mount computer to a land and I was like, this is my computer

1199
01:54:54,840 --> 01:54:57,560
What do you want me to do? I just turned it on its side

1200
01:54:58,920 --> 01:55:02,440
Oh, dude, the setup was so jank because um

1201
01:55:03,000 --> 01:55:06,360
That's land I I only have two mobile PCs right now

1202
01:55:06,680 --> 01:55:11,000
So I brought my ally with the xg one xg mobile for one of my daughters

1203
01:55:11,400 --> 01:55:18,120
And then I brought my remaining working flow x13 laptop with my other xg mobile for my other daughter

1204
01:55:18,600 --> 01:55:21,880
Set them up for the ally. I just used like an external monitor

1205
01:55:21,880 --> 01:55:27,000
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

1206
01:55:27,560 --> 01:55:30,600
Uh, so they were taken care of but then I didn't have a machine for my son

1207
01:55:30,840 --> 01:55:34,040
So I was like, oh, I guess I could just I could just drag his rack mount

1208
01:55:34,360 --> 01:55:38,920
Because I have an external water cooling box that has the same quick connect fittings that I use for whenever

1209
01:55:39,000 --> 01:55:44,200
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

1210
01:55:44,200 --> 01:55:47,160
I just have like a like a three by three 120 mil fan

1211
01:55:47,960 --> 01:55:51,400
external rad box to run them

1212
01:55:51,400 --> 01:55:54,120
But what I haven't gotten around to is replacing the

1213
01:55:54,680 --> 01:55:59,560
asinine stock power connector for it that is a four pin molex

1214
01:56:00,520 --> 01:56:04,280
Why would why would I want that? I mean, okay, I can think of why I'd want that

1215
01:56:04,280 --> 01:56:07,720
I would run it through a pc i slot and just have one of those pass throughs

1216
01:56:07,720 --> 01:56:12,280
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

1217
01:56:12,280 --> 01:56:17,160
But like don't you think it's more likely that I would just plug it in to an external power?

1218
01:56:17,240 --> 01:56:24,680
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

1219
01:56:24,680 --> 01:56:28,600
But I haven't gotten around to changing it yet, and I forgot to grab one of those little power

1220
01:56:29,240 --> 01:56:33,080
Sorry one of those little power brick to molex things that we have kicking around here

1221
01:56:33,560 --> 01:56:36,840
Yeah, so my solution was to rip my side panel open

1222
01:56:37,400 --> 01:56:41,080
And power his rad box off of my power supply

1223
01:56:42,280 --> 01:56:45,000
Which was only a not which was only a problem

1224
01:56:45,560 --> 01:56:51,160
When I aximidentally didn't have my computer on for a while because I forgot I did that

1225
01:56:51,560 --> 01:56:57,720
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?

1226
01:56:58,680 --> 01:57:02,920
I was gonna say, you know if anything having it be four pin molex makes

1227
01:57:03,640 --> 01:57:06,200
The conversion is kind of nice and easy. Yeah, I guess

1228
01:57:07,000 --> 01:57:11,720
also Corey is the name in full plane chat. This is a bit of a throwback but

1229
01:57:12,440 --> 01:57:17,160
Said my data consumption for microsoft flight sim 2024 is currently over two terabytes

1230
01:57:18,200 --> 01:57:23,240
Streaming the world is data intensive. Yeah fun fact my my

1231
01:57:23,960 --> 01:57:30,600
Brother his wife and I went in on a combo present and got my dad flight sim and and some controllers

1232
01:57:30,600 --> 01:57:35,880
Oh, that's cool. So a hotass set up for for christmas. You got your dad a hot ass for christmas

1233
01:57:36,600 --> 01:57:41,240
And your mom was in on it. Sometimes you got to do unconventional things weird family, dude, but carry on

1234
01:57:41,400 --> 01:57:45,000
I mean, look, I'm not judging whatever happens between consenting adults

1235
01:57:46,280 --> 01:57:51,720
Uh, a hands-on throttle mistake for people that don't understand what's happening. Hotas. Hotas hands-on throttle mistake

1236
01:57:51,720 --> 01:57:54,600
You can't spell hotas without ho and ass

1237
01:57:55,240 --> 01:57:58,440
um anyways, uh

1238
01:57:58,600 --> 01:58:05,960
They had to upgrade their internet connection Oh, yeah, not even kidding. It would like bring the network down. Yeah, that makes sense

1239
01:58:06,600 --> 01:58:10,200
crazy Like what the heck?

1240
01:58:10,760 --> 01:58:13,160
Yeah, no that that that actually does make sense

1241
01:58:14,120 --> 01:58:18,600
I don't like that they were they were talking to me about it and and

1242
01:58:19,400 --> 01:58:22,520
He was talking about how like they called their isp

1243
01:58:23,880 --> 01:58:29,080
I'm pretty sure it was telus and the the person on the other end was like, okay. What are you

1244
01:58:29,800 --> 01:58:34,760
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

1245
01:58:34,840 --> 01:58:39,960
Oh, yeah, it's the game But didn't like really explain it too much. Maybe he did. I wasn't on the call

1246
01:58:40,760 --> 01:58:45,800
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

1247
01:58:46,440 --> 01:58:49,400
Yeah, like you can play games on like hot spots

1248
01:58:49,720 --> 01:58:54,760
Like you can mobile hotspot your phone and like well won't even touch your data like this doesn't matter

1249
01:58:55,080 --> 01:58:57,960
Like you can play multi you could play counter strike. Yep

1250
01:58:58,520 --> 01:59:02,280
Mobile hotspot and you won't even notice. Oh, yeah, I wouldn't because I mean

1251
01:59:02,840 --> 01:59:07,160
Counter strike is just walk down a hallway and then die simulator for me. Yeah, it's gonna suck, but you could yeah

1252
01:59:08,040 --> 01:59:13,000
And then so I'm just assuming this like tell us guys nuts and then I start looking things up and I'm like

1253
01:59:15,240 --> 01:59:21,320
Not only does it use a lot of data uses a lot of data at a time like the throughput is crazy

1254
01:59:21,960 --> 01:59:24,520
um, so yeah, they had to they had to

1255
01:59:25,560 --> 01:59:32,600
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

1256
01:59:33,400 --> 01:59:39,800
Upgrade your subscription service Yeah, now every month you're gonna be paying more for this. Yeah

1257
01:59:40,200 --> 01:59:47,400
Oh Here's a puppy says boston. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it felt like one of those also by the way inconvenient

1258
01:59:47,400 --> 01:59:51,480
I got you inconvenience. Well, not only that but I just and a financial burden

1259
01:59:51,560 --> 01:59:55,560
I made a bad assumption as well When when working on this idea

1260
01:59:56,120 --> 02:00:02,200
Um, because the racing sim world like the racing sim upstairs. Yeah, you just okay

1261
02:00:02,600 --> 02:00:08,840
Go in I have this controller. It'll set up a profile for you by default flight. Yeah, come on. There's nothing. No

1262
02:00:09,960 --> 02:00:12,520
Why because you have to be an enthusiast to

1263
02:00:13,320 --> 02:00:18,680
Play this my thing is okay. Don't have any default profiles. That's fine. Let me load them

1264
02:00:19,800 --> 02:00:25,320
Let the community offer them up and let me load them because now there's these like way

1265
02:00:26,600 --> 02:00:33,000
Intensely detailed guides On how to set it up, but there's so much to do that it like

1266
02:00:33,720 --> 02:00:38,920
Is so it would genuinely be easier for people to just export their settings and let you import them

1267
02:00:39,480 --> 02:00:42,840
Then writing all these crazy guides on how to do it like

1268
02:00:43,480 --> 02:00:50,040
Come on. No key in chat says, uh, wait, I blanked out for the last 18 minutes. They're still in the first merge message

1269
02:00:51,080 --> 02:00:55,080
Is this even a merge? They're only getting one hit us with an oh, is that okay? Is that it?

1270
02:00:55,080 --> 02:01:00,360
I didn't even know this was a merge message. We are like three behind. Maybe we should do a sponsor

1271
02:01:00,760 --> 02:01:08,040

You're in charge. Hmm. P charge. Hmm

1292
02:02:55,880 --> 02:03:02,440
Let's do another topic. I need to complain about more things on wyncho. You do you do. Yep. Is that possible? Yeah

1293
02:03:03,080 --> 02:03:06,600
I don't know Are you talking about something specific? Hobbes like

1294
02:03:07,400 --> 02:03:14,600
potentially immediately solved my problem There's like something you can just buy and it can import profiles for you

1295
02:03:15,080 --> 02:03:19,000
Oh, it's stupid that it's not built into the game. This should really be built into the game

1296
02:03:19,320 --> 02:03:25,960
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

1297
02:03:26,360 --> 02:03:29,240
With what studios they haven't closed will they be doing that?

1298
02:03:29,720 --> 02:03:34,600
Vibe code me a profile importer. Oh my god, it'll get like 25 of it. Correct

1299
02:03:37,080 --> 02:03:44,440
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

1300
02:03:44,920 --> 02:03:48,760
And it's doing it to itself. Yeah, good timing. Microsoft announced this week

1301
02:03:48,840 --> 02:03:56,200
They are raising the price of game pass ultimate by 50% in the us and some other markets causing a rush of angry

1302
02:03:56,600 --> 02:04:00,920
Cancelation so large that the xbox website apparently crashed multiple times

1303
02:04:01,560 --> 02:04:08,920
This $10 price increase comes two days after xbox president sarah bond said that game pass was already profitable

1304
02:04:09,560 --> 02:04:16,520
Microsoft tried to soften the sticker shock by presenting this change as an upgrade that adds ubisoft classics

1305
02:04:16,920 --> 02:04:19,720
fortnite crew as well as a promise to have

1306
02:04:20,440 --> 02:04:22,680
75 plus day one games per year

1307
02:04:23,480 --> 02:04:27,080
This comes the same week that xbox's hardware's

1308
02:04:27,560 --> 02:04:35,000
Oh as xbox hardware's second price hike in less than a year a month after costco removed all xbox items from their stores

1309
02:04:35,320 --> 02:04:40,760
And a few months after another round of closures and mass layoffs across xbox studios

1310
02:04:41,320 --> 02:04:45,400
Combined with the recent release of some iconic xbox exclusives on playstation

1311
02:04:45,960 --> 02:04:53,880
xbox devotees are beginning to feel as though microsoft's xbox hardware division may be in a bit of a death spiral

1312
02:04:54,840 --> 02:04:58,120
but Not all is lost x bros

1313
02:04:58,120 --> 02:05:04,360
Although revenue from hardware sales was down 22 percent year over year in the quarter ending june

1314
02:05:05,320 --> 02:05:08,680
2025 microsoft chairman and ceo satan adela said

1315
02:05:09,240 --> 02:05:12,520
Game pass annual revenue was nearly five billion

1316
02:05:13,080 --> 02:05:21,880
dollars for the first time With 37 million active subscribers as of july 2025 microsoft may be relying more and more on that service

1317
02:05:22,280 --> 02:05:26,120
To drag the entire xbox division into the green

1318
02:05:26,840 --> 02:05:38,040
Which is the gaming lamb landscape to which pre-orders of the new rog xbox ally and ally x opened at a price of

1319
02:05:39,160 --> 02:05:45,480
600 us dollars for the one that has a CPU that's like five years old at this point

1320
02:05:46,120 --> 02:05:51,400
Okay, I don't think it's actually quite five years old. Okay. How old is the the how old is zen to?

1321
02:05:52,520 --> 02:05:54,520
zen to release year

1322
02:05:56,680 --> 02:05:59,880
Oh Okay, cool

1323
02:05:59,880 --> 02:06:03,000
zen to launched in 2019 if anything. I was uh

1324
02:06:03,720 --> 02:06:06,840
I was being charitable cool, so uh

1325
02:06:08,680 --> 02:06:15,240
And a thousand us dollars for the one that actually has like a modern new CPU in it

1326
02:06:16,680 --> 02:06:23,080
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?

1327
02:06:23,240 --> 02:06:27,000
I don't know. I was talking to one of them. They look so similar um

1328
02:06:27,000 --> 02:06:32,200
I was talking to someone from the writing department about this and they were basically making the argument that the

1329
02:06:32,600 --> 02:06:37,160
rg xbox ally and rg xbox ally x are going to be successful products

1330
02:06:37,880 --> 02:06:44,440
Um, but the price is going to be a significant impediment and I don't know man. I I gotta say I think

1331
02:06:45,720 --> 02:06:49,800
I haven't Played on it yet as you guys may or may not have noticed

1332
02:06:51,880 --> 02:06:53,880
There's one sitting here

1333
02:06:55,800 --> 02:07:03,240
That arrived minutes before the show, so I haven't even genuinely haven't even touched it again. Well, no since the event

1334
02:07:04,040 --> 02:07:07,800
It was here for like an hour and a half. Okay. Well, I wasn't yeah the point is

1335
02:07:08,840 --> 02:07:10,840
that

1336
02:07:12,200 --> 02:07:14,600
I'm saying all of this before I've actually like

1337
02:07:15,240 --> 02:07:18,600
Given it a fair shot yet but

1338
02:07:18,600 --> 02:07:25,480
What's happening here is sort of regardless of the price of the of the various allies and their xboxes

1339
02:07:25,960 --> 02:07:27,960
related sort of collab products

1340
02:07:29,560 --> 02:07:33,160
It's a huge it's a fundamental shift in the hardware

1341
02:07:33,800 --> 02:07:41,000
model of xbox Right instead of first-party hardware that is subsidized by a built-in game store

1342
02:07:41,240 --> 02:07:45,080
collecting 30 from every developer who sells a game through it, which is

1343
02:07:45,720 --> 02:07:52,280
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

1344
02:07:52,280 --> 02:08:00,120
It really is This Is relying on third-party partners who have to make their margin on the product

1345
02:08:00,600 --> 02:08:05,480
And as far as I am aware although this may not be the case as far as I'm aware

1346
02:08:05,960 --> 02:08:13,080
Microsoft has not engaged in the same kind of profit sharing that has driven like the mobile industry for instance to

1347
02:08:13,960 --> 02:08:19,240
Sell hence so so like like mobile kiosks and and mobile stores selling

1348
02:08:20,120 --> 02:08:23,880
Plans and selling hardware and then getting a long-term kickback

1349
02:08:24,360 --> 02:08:31,560
So there doesn't appear to be a similar system in place to help subsidize this hardware for Microsoft's partners

1350
02:08:31,880 --> 02:08:40,200
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

1351
02:08:40,680 --> 02:08:47,240
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

1352
02:08:47,720 --> 02:08:50,600
Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah

1353
02:08:53,320 --> 02:08:57,160
A steam deck that's actually costs

1354
02:08:57,160 --> 02:09:05,960
literally Like 27 percent as much as this it costs literally that is the lowest end model and that is the lcd model

1355
02:09:06,280 --> 02:09:09,880
Less than half of the ally the non x

1356
02:09:11,240 --> 02:09:14,520
Less than half That's what you're up against you're up against valve

1357
02:09:15,000 --> 02:09:17,800
Taking their 30 percent and using it to subsidize their hardware

1358
02:09:18,040 --> 02:09:23,080
You're up against sony being able to price a playstation 5 pro plus a portal

1359
02:09:24,040 --> 02:09:26,040
at less than your lix

1360
02:09:27,080 --> 02:09:32,280
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

1361
02:09:32,360 --> 02:09:36,440
What is it right now? I think it's uh, yeah 750 us dollars

1362
02:09:39,000 --> 02:09:42,840
And that's the pro the one that most people agree like don't really need

1363
02:09:44,760 --> 02:09:48,680
And then the portal is uh, I think it's 250 right

1364
02:09:49,800 --> 02:09:52,200
Hold on. I might be wrong about this. I'm gonna make sure I'm right about this

1365
02:09:53,080 --> 02:09:57,880
199 Oh, but has since yeah around 200. Yeah, there you go. So

1366
02:09:58,440 --> 02:10:02,760
Oh Good luck everyone

1367
02:10:03,000 --> 02:10:10,280
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

1368
02:10:10,920 --> 02:10:19,160
$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

1369
02:10:20,840 --> 02:10:23,400
Sure, no when it wasn't because you don't own your games

1370
02:10:24,200 --> 02:10:32,360
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

1371
02:10:32,440 --> 02:10:37,880
Sure, but retrospectively, right? Let just devil's advocate take I have actually never subscribed to game pass

1372
02:10:38,120 --> 02:10:44,280
I also just pay for games and a big part of that for me is that I can super duper afford

1373
02:10:44,360 --> 02:10:51,960
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

1374
02:10:52,120 --> 02:10:55,160
So that's not because I think game pass is a bad deal

1375
02:10:55,240 --> 02:11:00,600
I've I've made arguments on camera and I meant what I said that game pass has been at times an outstanding

1376
02:11:00,840 --> 02:11:05,960
Value for what it is. But so let me make that argument then what if over the last

1377
02:11:06,680 --> 02:11:11,160
Couple of years that you'd been paying 20 bucks a month for game pass you played through

1378
02:11:12,200 --> 02:11:16,840
So that would be I think it's uh, it's discounted if you buy it on a yearly basis

1379
02:11:17,240 --> 02:11:19,960
But let's let's say let's assume you paid monthly. So you've paid

1380
02:11:21,080 --> 02:11:28,360
$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

1381
02:11:29,320 --> 02:11:37,320
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

1382
02:11:37,960 --> 02:11:44,840
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

1383
02:11:45,080 --> 02:11:50,120
But what if also what if I do want to play one of those games again?

1384
02:11:50,280 --> 02:11:56,440
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

1385
02:11:57,240 --> 02:12:00,200
That's fair. That might be an archetype of gamer for sure

1386
02:12:00,280 --> 02:12:09,080
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?

1387
02:12:09,080 --> 02:12:15,160
And then realizing they don't actually care about them that much And it allowed you to to to be uh, you know

1388
02:12:16,040 --> 02:12:21,640
Just I have to drift around from game to game and not worry about the financial the extra financial burden of that

1389
02:12:21,720 --> 02:12:30,520
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

1390
02:12:31,000 --> 02:12:39,000
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

1391
02:12:39,320 --> 02:12:43,880
reactivating my subscription It's like

1392
02:12:43,880 --> 02:12:51,000
All right, dude That's fair. Cool. But like I I just own it. So I guess I'll go check it out myself

1393
02:12:51,240 --> 02:12:54,920
There's a lot of there's a lot of discussion on this in the Floatplane chat

1394
02:12:55,000 --> 02:13:00,200
Like some people are saying like dude game ownership is so overrated as a gamer of 44 years

1395
02:13:00,280 --> 02:13:04,680
I have over 800 games and I practically never go back to play one

1396
02:13:05,400 --> 02:13:07,640
Meanwhile, you've got you've got other people that are

1397
02:13:09,080 --> 02:13:13,800
Oh, this is an argument. We didn't even talk about fantastic in Floatplane chat says I've got something like

1398
02:13:14,520 --> 02:13:18,040
2500 games in my steam library most of which I haven't gotten around to playing

1399
02:13:18,360 --> 02:13:23,960
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

1400
02:13:24,520 --> 02:13:29,160
spend more money on games at all right now um

1401
02:13:29,640 --> 02:13:36,280
There was a uh, oh autumn sale Walker makes a really important point that we're talking game pass ultimate

1402
02:13:36,440 --> 02:13:41,560
Which not only includes the games, but for certain games it also gives access to a cloud streaming platform

1403
02:13:41,640 --> 02:13:44,520
Which might be good for people on older pcs or who are often on the go

1404
02:13:45,080 --> 02:13:48,840
So that's fair. I didn't actually know that because I don't care

1405
02:13:48,920 --> 02:13:54,600
But there are solid arguments. I think both I can understand their being scenarios where for me

1406
02:13:55,160 --> 02:14:02,440
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

1407
02:14:03,400 --> 02:14:08,040
I have a huge backlog of games that I want to play I see no desire to be

1408
02:14:08,040 --> 02:14:14,280
Hungry biting at the bit of new game pass releases a game pass does not mean that you get every game

1409
02:14:14,440 --> 02:14:21,000
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

1410
02:14:21,160 --> 02:14:25,800
Well, I don't like any of that. Um, I also like I'm looking at the steam autumn sale

1411
02:14:25,800 --> 02:14:31,880
Which is running right now hobs points out that in some cases save transfers are not possible between Windows store and steam versus

1412
02:14:31,960 --> 02:14:36,600
Games what I was saying earlier. Yep. Um, I think that's actually like really important

1413
02:14:36,920 --> 02:14:38,920
Um, personally

1414
02:14:40,040 --> 02:14:46,360
You know, I used to back up my save data like I still have my dragon age origins like save file

1415
02:14:47,320 --> 02:14:50,360
I don't think I've ever actually been tempted to fire it up

1416
02:14:50,440 --> 02:14:54,680
And even if I did the game has probably been updated so many times that it wouldn't even necessarily work

1417
02:14:54,760 --> 02:14:59,960
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

1418
02:15:00,440 --> 02:15:03,960
Start tears of the kingdom. I like super cared that I still had my breath of the wild save

1419
02:15:04,760 --> 02:15:10,520
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

1420
02:15:11,320 --> 02:15:13,320
unplayable because like

1421
02:15:14,360 --> 02:15:18,040
I don't remember anything of what's going on or I did everything wrong

1422
02:15:18,280 --> 02:15:25,080
But then the steam notes feature that's is fantastic for that. Um, and is becoming less of a problem

1423
02:15:25,480 --> 02:15:29,800
Um, what is the name control is the name of that game? Yeah, dude. What the heck?

1424
02:15:30,120 --> 02:15:33,880
These type of sales happen. So if you can just be a little bit patient

1425
02:15:34,760 --> 02:15:40,360
Oh, yeah, right you can get control ultimate edition for five canadian dollars. Yeah, it's like 350

1426
02:15:41,560 --> 02:15:45,080
Like yeah when you could get 10 games of this caliber

1427
02:15:46,200 --> 02:15:49,000
A month once you convert that to usd. I think it's probably

1428
02:15:49,560 --> 02:15:54,600
Not quite but close close eight. Let's say eight eight games of this caliber a month

1429
02:15:55,160 --> 02:16:01,000
Or game pass ultimate. I'm getting these dude Yeah, that's fair every time that's valid. Apparently it's free on epic

1430
02:16:01,720 --> 02:16:06,920
Or no, maybe not right now. Oh, yeah, a bunch of people are saying free on gog free on epic. That's wild

1431
02:16:07,480 --> 02:16:10,760
control is Apparently, I don't know free on gog

1432
02:16:11,400 --> 02:16:13,960
That's pretty cool. You should definitely get it from gog if you can

1433
02:16:15,560 --> 02:16:18,040
Gog is pretty based very

1434
02:16:18,760 --> 02:16:27,240
um Yeah, I didn't even consider that argument like the the drm free nature of gog

1435
02:16:27,800 --> 02:16:33,800
Is like the complete opposite of we will take it from you whenever we want and you will pass the subscription forever

1436
02:16:33,960 --> 02:16:39,000
And your save won't transfer and screw you. Yeah, like I would way rather support gog

1437
02:16:40,360 --> 02:16:43,320
Then get a freaking game pass like I I

1438
02:16:44,520 --> 02:16:49,880
No All right, not personally. I'm not gonna judge someone else for getting it. Do your thing

1439
02:16:50,360 --> 02:16:52,920
That's that's a fair take. Not for me. I think that's a fair take

1440
02:16:53,640 --> 02:16:58,920
Our other discussion question here is do you think Microsoft might be trying to push people hold on

1441
02:16:59,000 --> 02:17:02,120
It's worth the devs, but also don't buy it until it's 90 off wtf

1442
02:17:03,560 --> 02:17:07,960
I don't tend to do that too often. I was saying that's a strat that is really good

1443
02:17:08,040 --> 02:17:13,560
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

1444
02:17:14,840 --> 02:17:20,840
like you're you're still Definitely supporting them. It's more of like a

1445
02:17:21,560 --> 02:17:24,920
It's for change kind of support, but that game has also been out for like

1446
02:17:25,560 --> 02:17:30,760
Eight years or something like that. Let me roll and control come out six years ago. Oh, okay, 10th 2020. All right

1447
02:17:31,640 --> 02:17:37,880
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

1448
02:17:38,360 --> 02:17:44,040
Rather than just backing out of their day one game pass release promise like is this sort of a tactical

1449
02:17:44,920 --> 02:17:50,920
Price is a decent strat actually because if you really care about a game and you want it day one

1450
02:17:51,080 --> 02:17:54,200
You could just buy it and for everything else you have your game pass

1451
02:17:54,280 --> 02:17:57,800
I've heard that's a thing that like quite a few people do so. Yep. I don't know

1452
02:17:59,160 --> 02:18:03,960
Um, there's a bunch more discussion questions here. David. These are all really interesting

1453
02:18:03,960 --> 02:18:13,800
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

1454
02:18:14,440 --> 02:18:23,400
Uh Maybe this is just a video in a bit. Okay, one thing that will inevitably be on game pass because forza is a

1455
02:18:23,880 --> 02:18:31,160
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

1456
02:18:31,800 --> 02:18:34,920
And that's actually pretty sick. I'm excited about that

1457
02:18:36,040 --> 02:18:41,720
All right, let's move on shall we Floatplane announcement? Is that what we're supposed to do Dan? Where?

1458
02:18:42,520 --> 02:18:46,360
Where is it? Sarah week is upon us

1459
02:18:48,520 --> 02:18:52,600
Here it is. Am I supposed to watch the announcement? I don't know

1460
02:18:53,560 --> 02:18:59,560
I feel like probably Do we have audio Dan does my audio work? Um, what are the odds?

1461
02:19:00,120 --> 02:19:02,280
Give her a plan. Let's see. Uh, but

1462
02:19:03,240 --> 02:19:10,200
Do I have uh the stream going? Nope. Okay. Nice. Uh, I hope no, it's muted. Yeah

1463
02:19:11,080 --> 02:19:15,080
Oh, man. So is this and also someone on someone on the account watched it

1464
02:19:15,160 --> 02:19:17,640
So usually for Floatplane themed weeks

1465
02:19:18,200 --> 02:19:23,000
we spend time and money creating some elaborate teaser trailer, but

1466
02:19:24,040 --> 02:19:29,160
I uh spent all that money on a trip to drum heller. So now sammy's on the phone with accounting

1467
02:19:29,960 --> 02:19:32,120
Uh, trying to get some more money

1468
02:19:33,240 --> 02:19:38,200
for us but dinosaurs so

1469
02:19:38,360 --> 02:19:41,960
Accounting says by the merch by the merch by the merch. Please buy the merch

1470
02:19:42,760 --> 02:19:45,320
I need to live here. Are you often the butt of the joke?

1471
02:19:46,200 --> 02:19:51,240
Am I this is mood? How many shirts do you think I've designed over the five years? We've got 26 here

1472
02:19:51,320 --> 02:19:55,880
What you don't want cat like what's what's like butt scratches? That's bad. What are your top three dinosaurs?

1473
02:19:56,040 --> 02:20:01,080
Delofosaurus my dog reminds me of a velociraptor. So my dog is my third favorite cop out

1474
02:20:01,880 --> 02:20:08,760
Oh, there's your trim bone apathy You can get some clams and mussels too bone apathy bone apathy

1475
02:20:09,080 --> 02:20:14,280
There was a point where I was quality checking every single hollow foil shirt that went out

1476
02:20:14,360 --> 02:20:18,600
So if you own a hollow foil shirt, I probably touched it at some point

1477
02:20:21,080 --> 02:20:27,400
I didn't know that that's a great plastic editing. Good job sammy. Yeah. Yeah, I remember that there was uh,

1478
02:20:27,800 --> 02:20:31,560
there was issues with the ink and it was bad and uh

1479
02:20:32,520 --> 02:20:34,520
We were still new at all of this

1480
02:20:36,440 --> 02:20:38,680
And there was nobody else to do it so

1481
02:20:41,400 --> 02:20:52,440
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

1482
02:20:52,440 --> 02:20:57,640
Heller alberta aka The dinosaur capital of the world according to alberta

1483
02:20:58,120 --> 02:21:05,480
Also, we will have a limited run Floatplane exclusive shirt to coincide with sarah week. It looks a little something like that

1484
02:21:07,000 --> 02:21:11,880
It's a dinosaur And also there's a Floatplane on the back. Heck. Yeah. Heck. Yeah

1485
02:21:12,520 --> 02:21:18,440
This and so much more all on Floatplane next week LMG.gg slash Floatplane

1486
02:21:19,160 --> 02:21:21,160
All right Dan

1487
02:21:22,280 --> 02:21:26,680
I think we should do at least one more topic All right, what do you want to talk about Lou?

1488
02:21:27,880 --> 02:21:35,560
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

1489
02:21:35,960 --> 02:21:39,880
We have i've leaned luke. Uh, I want to do another ad hoc Linus topic though

1490
02:21:39,960 --> 02:21:45,560
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

1491
02:21:45,640 --> 02:21:52,600
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

1492
02:21:52,920 --> 02:21:57,800
October 14th is when Windows 10 support ends and boy are things ever happening

1493
02:21:58,200 --> 02:22:03,960
Businesses are dumping their Windows 10 machines and a substantial reason is due to the lack of Windows 11

1494
02:22:04,760 --> 02:22:10,200
Compatibility due to the lack of tpm2 and or other critical hardware and I guess they don't want to

1495
02:22:11,080 --> 02:22:16,920
Get modules and have people plug them in. Uh, they could use the extended security updates. Yeah, that's true

1496
02:22:17,000 --> 02:22:24,520
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

1497
02:22:25,960 --> 02:22:30,760
Might be kind of time anyways, uh, but that's a paid program the extended security updates thing

1498
02:22:30,920 --> 02:22:33,720
So many folks are weighing the costs and benefits

1499
02:22:34,120 --> 02:22:38,200
Uh, because it's priced at 30 dollars per license per year. Would you pay? Oh, wow

1500
02:22:39,080 --> 02:22:43,560
That is an interesting question. Would you pay 30 dollars a year?

1501
02:22:45,320 --> 02:22:48,600
To run any version of Windows you wanted

1502
02:22:49,480 --> 02:22:56,360
Like your ideal and it was secure and and it had if if microsoft had a program where you were still allowed to run

1503
02:22:57,160 --> 02:23:02,440
Windows 7 Or xp, but it but it was but but with modern support

1504
02:23:03,240 --> 02:23:06,440
Modern support. I mean, I have to assume that they could afford to do it

1505
02:23:06,760 --> 02:23:11,880
I mean, how many how many millions of people are still running Windows xp today Windows xp market share

1506
02:23:11,960 --> 02:23:15,160
I I'm willing to bet it's not zero. It's quite a lot actually

1507
02:23:15,240 --> 02:23:21,800
It's uh, it's apparently it's apparently still somewhere between 0.3 and 0.54 percent

1508
02:23:22,200 --> 02:23:26,120
Which if you think about how many hundreds of millions of PCs there are in a year

1509
02:23:26,360 --> 02:23:32,760
There are in the world Do you think we could say with reasonable certainty that there's a billion PCs in the world?

1510
02:23:33,320 --> 02:23:42,200
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

1511
02:23:42,280 --> 02:23:45,240
Let's say 1 billion PCs

1512
02:23:46,440 --> 02:23:52,440
Buh, okay times point. Let's use the lower end of that number what I say point zero three

1513
02:23:53,240 --> 02:23:56,360
Okay, so point zero three percent equals

1514
02:23:57,800 --> 02:24:03,000
30 million PCs times 30 dollars a year

1515
02:24:04,920 --> 02:24:11,720
Would give microsoft a 900 million dollar a year budget to maintain modern support for Windows xp

1516
02:24:12,440 --> 02:24:18,440
And And that's like, okay, I don't even think and to be clear

1517
02:24:19,240 --> 02:24:25,720
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

1518
02:24:26,280 --> 02:24:30,760
I don't think all of those customers would pay. I don't think microsoft's partners would love to support

1519
02:24:31,000 --> 02:24:35,080
Upteen billion versions of Windows forever on all of their software

1520
02:24:35,720 --> 02:24:41,640
I just mean if you could if you could pay 30 dollars a year to run your ideal version of Windows

1521
02:24:41,720 --> 02:24:45,320
Would you pay for Windows and and does this mean I already pay for Windows?

1522
02:24:45,560 --> 02:24:47,960
But would you subscribe to Windows? But okay

1523
02:24:48,600 --> 02:24:55,480
Does this mean game support? Yeah, does this so there's all compatibility? It means it works like you'd expect it to work

1524
02:24:56,040 --> 02:25:03,720
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

1525
02:25:03,800 --> 02:25:07,640
I would say that uh, I would say that co-pilot is a new feature

1526
02:25:08,600 --> 02:25:14,440
Okay, so could I do the wanshow on Windows xp? Is this kind of what you're saying?

1527
02:25:14,520 --> 02:25:16,680
Yeah, could this computer run Windows xp? Yeah

1528
02:25:17,560 --> 02:25:22,440
I can play modern games and connect to wi-fi and do things like that on Windows xp

1529
02:25:22,840 --> 02:25:27,880
Okay, so it's getting features 30 dollars is new features too cheap

1530
02:25:29,560 --> 02:25:33,720
I would pay more you'd pay more than 30 dollars a year. No, who are we kidding? I wouldn't pay anything

1531
02:25:33,880 --> 02:25:38,200
Some of those things are new features Which ones what if it's like dx 12?

1532
02:25:39,000 --> 02:25:41,000
But it's Windows xp

1533
02:25:43,000 --> 02:25:47,880
Like there's there's about the inverse what if I wanted to run Windows xp software

1534
02:25:47,880 --> 02:25:52,440
They would just kind of like have unlimited support for every program written back to dos

1535
02:25:53,240 --> 02:25:55,880
Kind of like where are the bounds of this hypothetical?

1536
02:25:56,520 --> 02:26:00,760
I don't know my guys. I think you might be overthinking a little bit. Let's say that everything works

1537
02:26:01,560 --> 02:26:06,760
And we just have a nebulous definition of what a feature is would you pay 30 dollars a year to run?

1538
02:26:07,480 --> 02:26:09,480
Which is your favorite Windows 7?

1539
02:26:10,760 --> 02:26:16,520
Probably 7 but I did used to run. I did used to run. Vista was hotter. I did used to run

1540
02:26:17,480 --> 02:26:26,680
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

1541
02:26:27,320 --> 02:26:30,200
So I could see I could see me going for

1542
02:26:30,840 --> 02:26:35,400
heavily modded versions By my like I so what I would do back in the day

1543
02:26:35,400 --> 02:26:40,040
Oh, so I'll get black edition and then I would mod it Significantly further beyond there

1544
02:26:40,120 --> 02:26:45,480
heavily modded version of vista or if I have to stick to like a more stock experience I would go

1545
02:26:45,720 --> 02:26:54,760
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

1546
02:26:55,320 --> 02:26:58,120
Mmm. Yep, and Windows 8 just sucked

1547
02:26:59,000 --> 02:27:01,000
8.1 was like a lot better, but 8 was

1548
02:27:03,880 --> 02:27:09,160
And I hate the blocky design so just I'm just staying away from that's fair from 8 and 8.1

1549
02:27:09,480 --> 02:27:12,920
Anyway, the point is keep an eye out for some used hardware

1550
02:27:13,000 --> 02:27:16,760
If you're looking to build like a home theater pc or a nas or something like that

1551
02:27:16,840 --> 02:27:21,320
There are to my knowledge still workarounds to get around the tpm stuff for home use

1552
02:27:22,280 --> 02:27:26,760
Stats counter noted that Windows 7 has apparently had a massive increase in market share

1553
02:27:27,400 --> 02:27:32,280
So that's Pretty interesting What has Windows 7?

1554
02:27:32,840 --> 02:27:40,280
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

1555
02:27:42,280 --> 02:27:49,240
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

1556
02:27:49,400 --> 02:27:55,000
That's a really significant jump. Oh dude. It's like very like it was flat lined basically

1557
02:27:55,240 --> 02:28:01,000
Yeah, and then it's like boom and it very clearly is coming out of Windows 10

1558
02:28:02,840 --> 02:28:07,080
Yeah, so I wonder if people are like, hey, if I'm not gonna support anyways, I'll just go back wild

1559
02:28:07,960 --> 02:28:11,480
Absolutely wild you absolute mad lads all of you

1560
02:28:12,920 --> 02:28:20,040
Okay Um, I know 7 was so sick. Do you want to talk about open ai and saura 2?

1561
02:28:21,960 --> 02:28:25,480
Sure Open ai launches saura app this one

1562
02:28:26,920 --> 02:28:30,360
Oh, it's moving open. I launched the story app. That's the topic you're talking about. Yeah, okay

1563
02:28:30,520 --> 02:28:34,440
Open ai launches saura app parental controls an instant check out which is

1564
02:28:35,240 --> 02:28:41,560
Crazy open ai has launched saura 2 their new flagship video model now featuring audio generation

1565
02:28:41,880 --> 02:28:47,880
Exclusively available through their new invite only iOS exclusive social app

1566
02:28:48,440 --> 02:28:52,760
also called saura The new model is notably better at simulating physics

1567
02:28:53,560 --> 02:29:02,200
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

1568
02:29:02,840 --> 02:29:08,360
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

1569
02:29:09,000 --> 02:29:15,400
But anyways moving forward The feature that caused the app to go viral this week was cameos

1570
02:29:16,120 --> 02:29:19,720
What technically they only said it can they didn't say that they enabled that feature

1571
02:29:21,560 --> 02:29:29,240
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

1572
02:29:30,520 --> 02:29:40,040
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

1573
02:29:40,360 --> 02:29:44,120
This led to social media being overwhelmed by videos of sam altman

1574
02:29:45,320 --> 02:29:51,400
Doing many things including being dressed up as a kiddie man or stealing GPU's from target

1575
02:29:52,360 --> 02:29:57,240
Are you loading those nope? I'm bringing up the creepy one that someone sent me

1576
02:29:57,720 --> 02:30:01,800
Okay Here is him dressed as a kiddie man

1577
02:30:03,480 --> 02:30:05,480
You

1578
02:30:09,720 --> 02:30:16,600
Okay, and here's I gave sora the oh boy. I mean I can pretty easily tell it's not you but

1579
02:30:16,920 --> 02:30:27,320
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

1580
02:30:27,880 --> 02:30:37,880
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

1581
02:30:38,280 --> 02:30:43,080
You probably know sora as the text Yeah, so it's pretty extensively trained on you. Yep

1582
02:30:43,960 --> 02:30:47,560
Nice, that's cool. I'm happy they compensated you for that

1583
02:30:48,440 --> 02:30:50,440
Me too

1584
02:30:53,000 --> 02:30:56,840
Anyways, here's sam altman steering stealing GPU's and then getting caught for it

1585
02:31:00,600 --> 02:31:02,600
You

1586
02:31:04,120 --> 02:31:09,400
No, it's not gonna lie pretty good. Yep Especially because we've known for a long time that like

1587
02:31:09,960 --> 02:31:15,400
Security camera footage. Yeah, that's true security camera footage or I mean, it's the old like

1588
02:31:16,200 --> 02:31:20,680
Bigfoot thing, right? Yeah, it's always the worst camera at the worst angle in the worst lighting

1589
02:31:21,400 --> 02:31:25,960
Like you you do that and it's hard to tell what's real and what isn't because the fidelity is so low

1590
02:31:26,600 --> 02:31:33,640
um anyways At the moment sora 2 is limited to iOS and open ai said that they want to scale

1591
02:31:34,360 --> 02:31:41,320
Responsibly giving users tools to control their feed and even uh default limits on how many generations teens can make

1592
02:31:41,560 --> 02:31:45,880
Okay, uh, sure. That's the main concern right now. Yeah

1593
02:31:46,680 --> 02:31:52,440
That's posturing for sure. Uh parental controls for sora will be accessible through the chat gpt app

1594
02:31:52,520 --> 02:31:59,240
Where general parental controls have been introduced as well parents just have to link their accounts and will have access to toggle features

1595
02:31:59,400 --> 02:32:03,640
Set blackout hours and receive notifications triggered by their teen's behavior

1596
02:32:04,120 --> 02:32:10,600
The progression with parental controls is part of an ongoing effort to make chat gpt helpful for everyone massive quotes

1597
02:32:11,000 --> 02:32:18,280
Uh, eventually open ai wants to be able to accurately predict the age of users so they can automatically block graphic content

1598
02:32:18,440 --> 02:32:23,640
And potentially involve law enforcement and also serve the meds and if the I added that last part myself

1599
02:32:23,880 --> 02:32:29,000
And if the kids, yeah, absolutely That's the core reason for sure and if the kids really wanted the bad things

1600
02:32:29,080 --> 02:32:35,320
They would just run it locally Uh open ai elaborated saying that it will only contact law enforcement in rare emergencies

1601
02:32:35,560 --> 02:32:41,000
When their system detects a teen is in a moment of acute distress and their parent cannot be reached

1602
02:32:41,640 --> 02:32:45,720
Oh, okay. Yeah, that I just throwing that out there. That might be too late

1603
02:32:46,440 --> 02:32:54,280
um Acute distress just a little bit too late. Yeah, not a good time to necessarily do that

1604
02:32:55,000 --> 02:33:01,480
A lot of it too late. Uh, open ai is also automating and open sourcing instant checkouts with chat gpt

1605
02:33:02,840 --> 02:33:09,000
Allowing all us customers to buy single item purchases from us etsy sellers and with more

1606
02:33:09,400 --> 02:33:16,040
Shopify based sellers to come later. Oh, okay. So hold on a second people could buy an LTT screwdriver on chat gpt

1607
02:33:17,160 --> 02:33:22,760
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

1608
02:33:23,160 --> 02:33:29,400
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

1609
02:33:29,800 --> 02:33:34,360
Use it to advertise stuff on Shopify

1610
02:33:34,520 --> 02:33:37,800
I wonder if you have to have an affiliate program for them. They probably wouldn't start that way

1611
02:33:37,800 --> 02:33:42,520
But I wouldn't be surprised if I wouldn't be surprised if we got there. Yeah, or or if you had I mean

1612
02:33:43,080 --> 02:33:47,240
Musk already said the quiet part out loud about xai where he was just like, yeah

1613
02:33:47,320 --> 02:33:51,560
And wouldn't it be great if brands could just pay us to recommend their products? Remember that?

1614
02:33:52,280 --> 02:33:59,080
Uh, so I wouldn't be surprised if that has been a very active conversation in the ai chatbot community

1615
02:33:59,160 --> 02:34:04,120
Apparently you have to allow it from the Shopify side. I mean we we would definitely turn this on. So we should do that

1616
02:34:04,840 --> 02:34:09,560
Yeah Comrades here. Hey, you can do it now

1617
02:34:10,360 --> 02:34:19,800
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

1618
02:34:19,960 --> 02:34:24,120
Instant checkout uses their agentech commerce protocol or acp

1619
02:34:24,600 --> 02:34:27,880
Which was co-developed with stripe that makes sense

1620
02:34:28,440 --> 02:34:31,560
Every step of the process requires explicit confirmations

1621
02:34:32,280 --> 02:34:38,440
And payments are encrypted and only authorized for specific amounts. Okay. I'm waiting for a future

1622
02:34:38,920 --> 02:34:42,680
where we have a listener bot of sorts in

1623
02:34:43,320 --> 02:34:51,880
various live chats And then you announce some product on wanshow and people just type buy and it just does it

1624
02:34:54,920 --> 02:35:01,320
Anyways moving forward actually I've got um a sort of semi maybe kind of related

1625
02:35:01,720 --> 02:35:05,800
topic of conversation. So we've talked I think a fair bit in the past about

1626
02:35:06,440 --> 02:35:10,760
buy now pay later schemas um

1627
02:35:10,840 --> 02:35:15,160
and This came into my inbox earlier today

1628
02:35:16,040 --> 02:35:22,360
Um blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Okay. So I I sent this to the cw team a few days ago about Shopify

1629
02:35:22,600 --> 02:35:29,320
And yeah the chat gpt integrations and then um, I got I got an email from dave

1630
02:35:29,880 --> 02:35:34,360
And he goes, uh, hey, so just following up with you

1631
02:35:35,080 --> 02:35:38,280
um Oh wait

1632
02:35:38,280 --> 02:35:43,560
Yes Okay. Yeah. Yeah. It looks like this is public. Okay. Sorry. I almost said something. I thought I might say something

1633
02:35:43,560 --> 02:35:48,840
That's not public. Uh, so dave sent me this email. He goes. Hey following up per our Shopify contacts

1634
02:35:48,840 --> 02:35:53,320
It sounds like their team is very slowly rolling access out to stores on a limited basis

1635
02:35:53,880 --> 02:35:56,200
I oh wait. No, this is a different thing. Hold on. Uh,

1636
02:35:57,320 --> 02:36:01,320
Do you want me to take it? Uh, yeah, I can't

1637
02:36:01,320 --> 02:36:05,240
Paypal is enabling buy now pay later for like everything

1638
02:36:05,800 --> 02:36:09,800
I don't even think it's opt-in or opt-out paypal is just like allowing this now

1639
02:36:10,200 --> 02:36:12,760
Which does make sense in regards to how paypal works

1640
02:36:13,320 --> 02:36:17,640
Um, and then Shopify as far as my understanding goes is doing an opt-in setup

1641
02:36:18,200 --> 02:36:22,840
Where buy now pay pay later is not enabled by default but stores can opt into it

1642
02:36:23,000 --> 02:36:28,120
Yeah, if we're being effectively forced into complying with this whole concept from paypal anyways

1643
02:36:28,680 --> 02:36:33,160
Um What do you think we should do? I think that was effectively the question. Yeah

1644
02:36:34,120 --> 02:36:36,920
Oh, yeah, here's my email. Why didn't I just read what my email

1645
02:36:37,480 --> 02:36:43,320
From dave's email below related note both shop and paypal are pitching payment payment plan solutions for consumers

1646
02:36:43,880 --> 02:36:47,240
Uh, paypal is rolling regardless of whether we market it shop is an opt-in

1647
02:36:47,240 --> 02:36:54,600
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

1648
02:36:54,680 --> 02:36:57,720
It seems like we are being forced to have it at this point regardless

1649
02:36:57,800 --> 02:37:00,680
Should we discuss on when what should be our policy regarding this tech?

1650
02:37:01,240 --> 02:37:07,960
If it's supported through paypal anyway, should we provide customer choice on our site for how to engage with this payment method and

1651
02:37:08,840 --> 02:37:12,520
Both luke and taren responded. So you do just want to say what you said

1652
02:37:13,080 --> 02:37:16,440
Um, yeah, effectively. I didn't actually read your email yet. So oh

1653
02:37:18,360 --> 02:37:21,320
Why do I even send them? Well, because I'm gonna read it eventually

1654
02:37:22,280 --> 02:37:26,360
I was trolling um Yeah, I had a weird

1655
02:37:27,320 --> 02:37:34,520
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

1656
02:37:34,600 --> 02:37:38,840
You know buying a banana with clarna or whatever. Yeah, um, but but there's a ton of them

1657
02:37:38,840 --> 02:37:43,400
It's not just clarna, but I was trolling about that in a chat that had a swedish

1658
02:37:44,680 --> 02:37:48,840
A person living in sweden in it. Yeah, and that person pointed out like

1659
02:37:49,400 --> 02:37:52,760
Hey, bro. It's actually like totally normal and kind of fine here

1660
02:37:53,640 --> 02:37:56,840
I was like What and they just

1661
02:37:56,840 --> 02:37:59,640
Apparently use it as a credit card replacement

1662
02:37:59,880 --> 02:38:06,040
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

1663
02:38:06,440 --> 02:38:12,360
Um, so it started there as a credit card replacement. Um, and delinquencies

1664
02:38:13,080 --> 02:38:19,480
Linguin sees and defaults in like sweden and norway where it was originally popularized is like

1665
02:38:20,440 --> 02:38:27,960
Way lower Than elsewhere just like have a different relationship with it and that maybe kind of just fall back on like

1666
02:38:31,400 --> 02:38:37,800
I don't know I think our CEO tarin tong had probably the most based take on this

1667
02:38:38,440 --> 02:38:43,080
He says credit cards are also onerous if you miss payments. We accept those

1668
02:38:43,640 --> 02:38:47,320
My position is Be financially literate

1669
02:38:47,880 --> 02:38:53,240
If you're using this to borrow money and don't have the ability to pay it off within terms

1670
02:38:53,480 --> 02:38:57,160
You probably shouldn't be making the purchase my take on it was freedom reigns

1671
02:38:57,960 --> 02:39:05,880
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

1672
02:39:06,760 --> 02:39:13,080
The way that the relationship that people have some people have with these by now pay later schemes

1673
02:39:13,560 --> 02:39:17,640
Is not a healthy one and it can seem to encourage

1674
02:39:18,360 --> 02:39:21,080
Um unhealthy spending habits. There is literally people

1675
02:39:22,040 --> 02:39:28,120
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

1676
02:39:29,560 --> 02:39:33,080
But there are apparently people that max out their credit cards

1677
02:39:33,720 --> 02:39:35,720
Don't have any credit card room left

1678
02:39:37,320 --> 02:39:40,040
And then go to something like carna and that's

1679
02:39:41,000 --> 02:39:45,080
That's crazy terrifying Please know

1680
02:39:45,080 --> 02:39:49,000
Uh people are saying carna will cut you off real quick if you don't pay. I have no idea

1681
02:39:50,120 --> 02:39:55,400
I don't know. I don't like it as someone who had credit cards extremely normalized

1682
02:39:55,640 --> 02:40:02,200
Which is a north american thing. Yep. This sounds just like bad extension of credit card

1683
02:40:02,440 --> 02:40:07,240
Yeah, it sounds like I also understand it's different around the world. It sounds like uh

1684
02:40:07,640 --> 02:40:14,760
Uh Why does it bother me because yeah, they both are functionally the same. They are both literally buy now pay later

1685
02:40:14,840 --> 02:40:17,080
So maybe it maybe it's because

1686
02:40:17,960 --> 02:40:22,040
I assume that I am buying something with a credit card

1687
02:40:22,520 --> 02:40:26,840
So I assume there should be no reason that I need to buy now pay later

1688
02:40:27,160 --> 02:40:31,880
Credit card does that make sense because it's like one month carna is mini month

1689
02:40:32,600 --> 02:40:38,040
But see and that but that okay, but is that the difference? Well, hold on. There's two differences. Okay. Okay. Okay

1690
02:40:38,120 --> 02:40:43,160
So through my north american lens Like literally almost nobody here

1691
02:40:43,720 --> 02:40:47,720
Uses a debit card to pay for something online. Like I don't I don't I don't even know if we can

1692
02:40:48,360 --> 02:40:50,920
You could use you have email money transfer

1693
02:40:51,720 --> 02:40:56,920
There are there are ways to use Debit cards for online payments, but it's like really unnatural and yeah

1694
02:40:57,240 --> 02:41:02,360
So so so functionally speaking if you're buying something online as a north american

1695
02:41:02,760 --> 02:41:09,160
You are using a credit card or you are using your paypal account, which is probably linked to a credit card

1696
02:41:09,640 --> 02:41:13,720
um Or can be linked to a bank account, but that from my understanding is

1697
02:41:14,440 --> 02:41:17,240
Exceedingly uncommon compared to just using a credit card

1698
02:41:17,640 --> 02:41:23,960
So maybe part of our ick around stuff like around buy now pay later like carna is that we assume

1699
02:41:24,520 --> 02:41:31,880
That you're already using a credit card So there should be unless you are being financially very irresponsible

1700
02:41:32,520 --> 02:41:38,520
No reason To use a buy now pay later scheme because you are already using a buy now pay later scheme my first

1701
02:41:39,080 --> 02:41:41,560
Few exposures to it were discussions

1702
02:41:42,120 --> 02:41:44,760
Where people were talking about how they can still order

1703
02:41:45,400 --> 02:41:48,280
Things like uber eats even when they've maxed out their credit cards

1704
02:41:48,920 --> 02:41:52,600
Those were the first few exposures I had to it not one

1705
02:41:53,480 --> 02:41:56,040
Like all of them for like months

1706
02:41:56,600 --> 02:42:00,840
And so then was people talking about that part of it too then could be

1707
02:42:01,560 --> 02:42:09,400
Our our cultural experience of living in a place where credit cards themselves too are something to be treated

1708
02:42:10,120 --> 02:42:16,680
Extremely cautiously where we know that they are not used responsibly and one of the reasons that is often cited

1709
02:42:17,160 --> 02:42:22,120
For people to have trouble controlling their spending with a credit card is that it has no

1710
02:42:23,240 --> 02:42:29,640
Like no discernible Change in weight or size when you use it, you know, like cash does

1711
02:42:30,120 --> 02:42:33,560
Um, so it can be it can be hard for some people to keep track of it

1712
02:42:34,520 --> 02:42:41,880
So to me something that you pay over an even longer period of time would seem to me to compound

1713
02:42:42,360 --> 02:42:47,080
Potentially that I agree. It's like that whole thing where like oh you buy a you buy a couch

1714
02:42:47,480 --> 02:42:50,920
And it's zero dollars down zero percent interest for three years

1715
02:42:51,240 --> 02:42:59,560
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

1716
02:42:59,560 --> 02:43:06,120
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

1717
02:43:06,200 --> 02:43:10,360
they want now They can't afford three thousand dollars

1718
02:43:12,600 --> 02:43:19,000
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

1719
02:43:19,480 --> 02:43:25,240
D Jenner in Floatplane chat says so you guys support the payment processors censoring game purchases

1720
02:43:26,520 --> 02:43:29,320
It is not your responsibility to police the way other people spend money

1721
02:43:29,640 --> 02:43:32,840
If I want to pay later to gamble, that's my issue. Just don't promote these things

1722
02:43:32,920 --> 02:43:38,600
Well now hold on just a gosh darn second here because putting the logo on our website is promoting it

1723
02:43:39,240 --> 02:43:45,160
So that's one thing And I'm so confused there is a degree of corporate responsibility

1724
02:43:45,800 --> 02:43:49,720
For not engaging in things that have the potential to be predatory

1725
02:43:50,360 --> 02:43:57,640
Right like the whole thing where a third party that was nothing to do with the transaction, right in those cases the payment processors

1726
02:43:58,120 --> 02:44:01,800
were interfering and

1727
02:44:01,800 --> 02:44:04,440
through outside influence groups were

1728
02:44:05,160 --> 02:44:10,120
Putting their own moral values on a transaction that was taking place between the first two parties

1729
02:44:10,120 --> 02:44:15,800
So we have a fourth party influencing a third party to influence the second party when you're just trying to buy something

1730
02:44:16,120 --> 02:44:21,240
That is not the same thing Um at all that's not the same thing at all in this case

1731
02:44:21,480 --> 02:44:28,600
We have two parties and one is deciding whether to implement a payment processor that can

1732
02:44:29,560 --> 02:44:32,680
potentially Be harmful like

1733
02:44:32,920 --> 02:44:38,120
I think that it's a very slippery slope to say well corporations should just

1734
02:44:38,840 --> 02:44:47,640
Implement whatever and if people Can't use it responsibly then like whatever that's on them because I think as soon as we

1735
02:44:48,120 --> 02:44:52,120
Start to say something like that well like why even have

1736
02:44:52,600 --> 02:44:57,560
Warning labels on cigarettes because you know they're adults. It's their bodies. It's their right to do whatever they want

1737
02:44:57,560 --> 02:45:05,800
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

1738
02:45:06,760 --> 02:45:10,280
It's it can be very targeted. It can be very exploitative and

1739
02:45:11,560 --> 02:45:14,120
We are aspiring here to not behave like that

1740
02:45:14,840 --> 02:45:24,520
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

1741
02:45:24,520 --> 02:45:27,080
We're just trying to operate our business with integrity

1742
02:45:27,800 --> 02:45:32,040
The the thing that kind of shifted my stance on a little bit was talking to

1743
02:45:33,560 --> 02:45:42,680
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?

1744
02:45:42,680 --> 02:45:47,480
This is super normal And not just super normal. This is just like how you buy things

1745
02:45:48,680 --> 02:45:52,440
um So you know, okay, I don't know

1746
02:45:53,800 --> 02:45:55,960
I just was unaware and I think

1747
02:45:58,120 --> 02:46:02,200
It still doesn't make me comfortable with it, but I'm also not completely comfortable with credit cards

1748
02:46:02,200 --> 02:46:07,960
I mean, we've talked on wanshow about the insufficient fund errors on flow playing going up

1749
02:46:08,920 --> 02:46:16,920
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

1750
02:46:18,040 --> 02:46:21,960
Which is like don't do it if you can't pay sooner than later

1751
02:46:25,480 --> 02:46:30,280
Personally Because just because there are

1752
02:46:31,160 --> 02:46:33,720
This this feels like geographical to me

1753
02:46:35,320 --> 02:46:38,280
Because like literally like if I if I look up, um

1754
02:46:39,240 --> 02:46:44,200
There Stay the path asks

1755
02:46:44,360 --> 02:46:51,480
Uh lmfao. Thanks guys. I'm still not clear if canadians use credit at all question mark question mark question mark

1756
02:46:51,800 --> 02:46:55,480
Like do you guys only buy stuff when you can pay for all of it up front right then?

1757
02:46:56,840 --> 02:47:04,040
Yes That's not all canadians actually one of the reasons that there's a high degree of

1758
02:47:04,760 --> 02:47:11,080
Awareness around this topic for us is that canadian household debt is I believe at an all-time high right now

1759
02:47:12,120 --> 02:47:19,400
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

1760
02:47:20,040 --> 02:47:22,040
How to tackle and shift our culture on

1761
02:47:23,160 --> 02:47:31,240
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

1762
02:47:31,960 --> 02:47:37,880
What was that sorry 100 f***ing percent? Yeah, no, I have never made a discretionary purchase

1763
02:47:38,760 --> 02:47:41,880
If I don't have cash you've got to be kidding me

1764
02:47:42,360 --> 02:47:46,120
Yeah, and and I use credit cards for literally every purchase ever

1765
02:47:46,280 --> 02:47:52,040
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

1766
02:47:52,120 --> 02:47:57,640
Absolutely and to be clear there are healthier types of loan like while

1767
02:47:58,840 --> 02:48:02,360
While the housing market in vancouver was going gangbusters

1768
02:48:03,080 --> 02:48:07,800
Like people would take the equity that they had built up in their home because the value had gone up so much

1769
02:48:07,800 --> 02:48:14,440
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

1770
02:48:14,440 --> 02:48:19,080
Do a renovation on the house with the idea being that well the value of the property is going to go up so much

1771
02:48:19,240 --> 02:48:25,080
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

1772
02:48:26,040 --> 02:48:35,560
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

1773
02:48:36,040 --> 02:48:43,320
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

1774
02:48:44,440 --> 02:48:48,840
and so You know, yeah, we would dip into a line of credit from time to time

1775
02:48:48,920 --> 02:48:53,160
But in terms of like like we're talking about credit cards and by now pay later here guys

1776
02:48:53,160 --> 02:48:55,400
We're talking stuff with like crazy interest rates. Like

1777
02:48:56,200 --> 02:49:01,400
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

1778
02:49:01,400 --> 02:49:06,040
Why would I just think the the thing buy a GPU later the thing that's shifting my mind

1779
02:49:06,520 --> 02:49:11,560
Yeah, uh, the first shift was talking to swedish people and just being like, oh, okay interesting

1780
02:49:11,880 --> 02:49:14,840
And then I started looking into it more and then I started

1781
02:49:15,480 --> 02:49:18,920
Hearing people talk about the the the term by now pay later

1782
02:49:19,320 --> 02:49:22,520
And it's just it's just credit with a different shirt on. Well, yeah

1783
02:49:22,840 --> 02:49:26,920
Yeah, they're microloans basically, but that's what credit cards are. So like yeah

1784
02:49:27,240 --> 02:49:32,680
I well, that's kind of why I said earlier like it's it one month versus like six months because you know

1785
02:49:33,400 --> 02:49:37,720
visa pays for my purchases for less than a month or one month

1786
02:49:38,040 --> 02:49:44,120
um, I guess Klarna is paying for your purchases for six months like I think it's the same thing

1787
02:49:44,200 --> 02:49:49,320
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

1788
02:49:49,480 --> 02:49:54,360
Which is this month I have $3,000 to buy a GPU

1789
02:49:55,000 --> 02:49:59,720
So I'm gonna buy that GPU because I have $3,000. I'll put it on my credit card. Um

1790
02:50:00,600 --> 02:50:06,520
I would really like this GPU, but I only have $500. So I'm gonna split that over four months

1791
02:50:07,000 --> 02:50:13,960
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

1792
02:50:14,280 --> 02:50:18,360
But you should buy it in four months after you have saved it up ahead of time

1793
02:50:18,520 --> 02:50:25,320
Maybe they're trying to capture a deal something like that. I think the stuff like klarna for somebody like myself promotes

1794
02:50:26,280 --> 02:50:36,200
Bad spending habits, and I think it's designed to promote bad spending habits because not necessarily this is more advanced than that

1795
02:50:37,240 --> 02:50:41,800
Clarna's like sucralose whereas Um credit cards are sugar

1796
02:50:42,120 --> 02:50:47,640
It's way easier to pay 20 bucks now than it is to pay 200 bucks and you pay 20 bucks

1797
02:50:48,200 --> 02:50:51,880
On top of it. So your bills every single month blossom

1798
02:50:52,040 --> 02:50:56,760
I see what Dan means where by the time you start to realize how deep you are in it

1799
02:50:57,320 --> 02:51:03,800
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

1800
02:51:03,800 --> 02:51:09,240
Hangs your dollars up front. No, I I totally understand what you're saying, but I also understand Dan's point

1801
02:51:09,400 --> 02:51:15,400
This is just that but worse and and it's it's only worse. Hold on. It's only worse

1802
02:51:16,360 --> 02:51:21,960
Because you understand it's the same it is but it's also could be worse. Okay, because we've got to understand that

1803
02:51:22,600 --> 02:51:28,120
Not every person is going. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on Dan. Wait. Let me let me break through. All right

1804
02:51:28,120 --> 02:51:31,560
He's got a bit of a mental block here. I knew I knew at this. I think I know what the problem is

1805
02:51:31,560 --> 02:51:35,960
Okay, good. Good. So so the point that Dan is trying to make is that

1806
02:51:36,600 --> 02:51:40,760
With a service that extends it by such a lengthy period of time

1807
02:51:41,400 --> 02:51:47,080
There is a potentially such a long delay between when you made the initial decision

1808
02:51:47,480 --> 02:51:54,200
And when the negative impact hits you that you may have had much more time to make compounding negative decisions

1809
02:51:54,520 --> 02:51:58,840
In that time whereas your credit card bill arrives every month. So it's kind of like

1810
02:51:59,800 --> 02:52:04,040
If you had multiple credit cards that you were using to pay each credit card

1811
02:52:04,120 --> 02:52:10,040
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

1812
02:52:10,040 --> 02:52:13,960
Yeah, I get a credit card. It's about minimum payments, which is what like a lot of people do

1813
02:52:14,040 --> 02:52:18,120
But you're paying off your clorna, but you're paying off your credit card. You're paying off your clorna

1814
02:52:18,680 --> 02:52:21,800
Every single month I get this big bill. I pay off my big bill

1815
02:52:22,040 --> 02:52:25,960
But when I'm looking at a purchase and I'm staring down this GPU and it's three thousand dollars

1816
02:52:26,200 --> 02:52:30,840
I'm making a uh an internal decision. Do I really want to hand over three thousand dollars right now?

1817
02:52:31,240 --> 02:52:35,080
If all of the purchases that I'm doing throughout the day are oh, this is only 20 bucks

1818
02:52:35,480 --> 02:52:42,520
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

1819
02:52:42,760 --> 02:52:46,440
Oh, hold on my door dash instead of being 15 bucks that cost me two dollars

1820
02:52:46,440 --> 02:52:51,560
And then Luke's point is it could be just as insidious if it's zero dollars. It's exactly the same thing

1821
02:52:52,040 --> 02:52:57,400
Okay, they're not exact. No Minimum payments. It's about it's about the the

1822
02:52:57,880 --> 02:53:03,080
I don't think everyone sees it the way that you happen to be seeing it depending on your psychological profile

1823
02:53:03,240 --> 02:53:07,160
I think one or the other could absolutely be worse. Yes

1824
02:53:07,560 --> 02:53:12,280
And so I think that's an important thing for us to all kind of capture here for sure

1825
02:53:12,840 --> 02:53:18,760
And I think that my gut reaction came from I saw clorna as on top of credit cards

1826
02:53:19,160 --> 02:53:23,240
Me which is maybe why I saw it as the the more evil of the two

1827
02:53:23,640 --> 02:53:29,400
But I also see your point that if either are being used independently. They are functionally the same thing because

1828
02:53:30,280 --> 02:53:33,560
With minimum payments. Yes, I get it the same thing

1829
02:53:33,720 --> 02:53:39,400
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

1830
02:53:39,800 --> 02:53:43,000
So the difference there was I had a really great summer job

1831
02:53:43,320 --> 02:53:47,720
I ran a painting business with a similar thing to college pro

1832
02:53:48,120 --> 02:53:51,000
And so I came out of school with no debt

1833
02:53:52,040 --> 02:53:57,960
So when I say I have I have saved up ahead of time for every major purchase in my life

1834
02:53:58,040 --> 02:54:04,920
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

1835
02:54:05,480 --> 02:54:10,840
While I was going to school that made a big difference. I mean I commuted four and a half hours a day or whatever

1836
02:54:10,920 --> 02:54:16,680
So there were definitely, you know downsides Um, and I I got some help from my parents as well

1837
02:54:17,240 --> 02:54:23,400
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

1838
02:54:24,040 --> 02:54:31,080
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

1839
02:54:31,320 --> 02:54:37,880
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

1840
02:54:38,840 --> 02:54:45,160
No, that is that is that is that is that is a thing saving up before you buy something is definitely a thing

1841
02:54:45,880 --> 02:54:50,840
um And that was one of the reasons that I have and even continue to

1842
02:54:51,320 --> 02:54:55,880
Shop second hand because it's cheaper and because then you like

1843
02:54:56,520 --> 02:55:01,160
Don't have to save for as long the hunt is also kind of fun. The hunt is fun. Not everybody's into it

1844
02:55:01,960 --> 02:55:03,960
Not everybody's into it

1845
02:55:08,520 --> 02:55:15,480
Um Crystal says you also didn't finish college. You also live in a country where that's actually feasible not anymore

1846
02:55:15,880 --> 02:55:19,080
So that's a that's a thing that's changed, right? And to be clear

1847
02:55:19,320 --> 02:55:23,560
None of what I'm talking about had anything to do with student loan debt I didn't mention student loan debt

1848
02:55:23,560 --> 02:55:29,240
That is something that depending on the program that you're going into depending on the return that you might expect from it

1849
02:55:30,040 --> 02:55:33,240
could Make sense Yvonne's

1850
02:55:33,240 --> 02:55:41,720
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

1851
02:55:42,360 --> 02:55:48,200
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

1852
02:55:48,280 --> 02:55:52,360
But she seemed like the one and it seemed like a good idea and it paid off just fine

1853
02:55:53,080 --> 02:55:56,440
so Make of that what you will

1854
02:55:58,040 --> 02:56:07,160
But it's uh Obviously a discussion that is uh creating a lot of

1855
02:56:08,600 --> 02:56:11,560
Generating a lot of emotions in viewers right now

1856
02:56:12,120 --> 02:56:17,560
And we were basically just looking to kind of take your temperature on this whole buy now pay later

1857
02:56:17,960 --> 02:56:21,640
It seems like in general people are pretty aligned on

1858
02:56:22,440 --> 02:56:26,680
What's the difference at this point? um

1859
02:56:26,680 --> 02:56:28,680
So I don't know I

1860
02:56:30,760 --> 02:56:36,600
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

1861
02:56:37,640 --> 02:56:40,120
Yeah, maybe there is nothing more to say. I mean are you just

1862
02:56:40,760 --> 02:56:45,800
You just are just like whatever at this point do a capitalism turn it on I don't I don't like

1863
02:56:47,800 --> 02:56:51,880
Consumer choice That's kind of where I'm sitting. I don't like it

1864
02:56:51,960 --> 02:56:55,560
But if you want to do it sure because you don't use credit cards. I use credit cards for everything

1865
02:56:56,280 --> 02:57:00,520
I use credit card service archaic and Floatplane chat may have come into the conversation a little bit later

1866
02:57:00,600 --> 02:57:06,040
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

1867
02:57:06,280 --> 02:57:11,800
But you do have a choice in enabling buy now pay later Someone could sign up for a predatory service because you offered it

1868
02:57:12,360 --> 02:57:17,560
So you might have missed the part earlier in the conversation where we don't have a choice paypal is just

1869
02:57:18,280 --> 02:57:22,040
Pushing it it will be enabled. That's it. So

1870
02:57:22,760 --> 02:57:26,600
Buy now pay later will be enabled on our site regardless at this point

1871
02:57:27,160 --> 02:57:32,440
Um, and that's the reason that we're even having the conversation. That's what sparked it. Yeah

1872
02:57:34,920 --> 02:57:38,760
Uh All right, but it's also like I don't know if that's a

1873
02:57:39,400 --> 02:57:43,880
This whole thing it comes down to perspectives because like I understand what you and Dan are saying

1874
02:57:43,880 --> 02:57:49,000
But I think there is an archetype of person who won't see it that way. That's my core argument. Um

1875
02:57:49,960 --> 02:57:55,880
That's the problem and and Sorry, that's the problem that they don't see it like that. No for sure

1876
02:57:57,160 --> 02:57:59,720
That's why they end up in horrible cyclical debt forever

1877
02:58:00,280 --> 02:58:05,800
Is like no a good thing at all and I think these these micro multi-month loan things

1878
02:58:06,840 --> 02:58:12,680
Encourage that more than a credit card. I see I don't necessarily agree. But anyways, we're getting really cyclical

1879
02:58:12,760 --> 02:58:18,280
But it doesn't matter because it's fine. It's going to it's going to be different for different people

1880
02:58:18,840 --> 02:58:21,720
And I think that Dan can be right and you can also be right. I think so

1881
02:58:22,280 --> 02:58:25,240
So I I think that so I'm trying to move on from there

1882
02:58:25,480 --> 02:58:31,560
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

1883
02:58:32,600 --> 02:58:38,120
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

1884
02:58:38,200 --> 02:58:43,320
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

1885
02:58:43,640 --> 02:58:46,840
You can just look it up and have a credit card afterwards

1886
02:58:47,160 --> 02:58:51,240
Yeah, um, I think that's reasonable. It's always interesting when we get the drop paypal

1887
02:58:51,880 --> 02:58:55,640
suggestion So many people

1888
02:58:55,640 --> 02:59:02,840
Literally the second we dropped paypal from our site. I guarantee you our customer support inbox would just be flooded with people asking

1889
02:59:02,920 --> 02:59:06,840
Why the f*** we don't support paypal because now they have no way to buy anything from our store

1890
02:59:07,800 --> 02:59:10,680
Surprising number of people. I didn't I didn't realize this paypal

1891
02:59:11,480 --> 02:59:16,440
Is not a huge part of my life paying for things. I don't really use it

1892
02:59:17,160 --> 02:59:21,400
Other than like corporately But some regions

1893
02:59:21,880 --> 02:59:25,160
That they are super reliant on paypal. They're super into paypal

1894
02:59:25,480 --> 02:59:28,520
And that's just the way it is not not taking paypal

1895
02:59:29,080 --> 02:59:35,400
Would not be a good idea period it would just it would literally make customers mad for

1896
02:59:38,280 --> 02:59:46,120
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

1897
02:59:46,200 --> 02:59:53,160
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

1898
02:59:54,600 --> 02:59:57,160
If that was somebody's stance, I wouldn't be like I disagree

1899
02:59:58,440 --> 03:00:04,360
I'd be like that's pretty cool, but also I like to go to concerts and stage plays and

1900
03:00:05,160 --> 03:00:08,440
Stuff so I'm probably gonna have to buy from ticket master

1901
03:00:09,320 --> 03:00:11,320
Um

1902
03:00:15,480 --> 03:00:19,000

1921
03:02:07,240 --> 03:02:10,840
Oh, what is this? What is a one-time card and how does it work?

1922
03:02:12,040 --> 03:02:19,000
Use client payment options at one time card service enables you to use client payment options at any visa card accepting online store in the

1923
03:02:19,000 --> 03:02:22,040
U.S. Oh, okay. You can just generate credit cards with carna

1924
03:02:22,120 --> 03:02:24,840
So it literally just is a credit card if you use it that way

1925
03:02:25,400 --> 03:02:30,840
No, it means you can use it anywhere. It means you can use carna anywhere. Oh, I see

1926
03:02:31,960 --> 03:02:34,600
I see it doesn't matter if they accept it or not

1927
03:02:35,640 --> 03:02:37,640
They bought them

1928
03:02:39,480 --> 03:02:44,360
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

1929
03:02:44,760 --> 03:02:49,080
So, why don't we talk about oh god, I have to scroll over the open a I went off

1930
03:02:50,360 --> 03:03:01,080
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

1931
03:03:02,280 --> 03:03:04,280
Wait go back

1932
03:03:05,640 --> 03:03:11,960
This is so cool. Just I don't know I made this about a year ago says mean ad 93 78

1933
03:03:12,200 --> 03:03:18,200
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

1934
03:03:18,440 --> 03:03:22,760
It's no masterpiece But thought it'd be better if it was seen by someone rather than sitting on my hard drive forever

1935
03:03:23,160 --> 03:03:27,160
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

1936
03:03:27,160 --> 03:03:30,920
So no hard feelings so cool

1937
03:03:30,920 --> 03:03:34,600
That's all I have to say about that just thought we'd uh, you know change the tone a little bit here

1938
03:03:35,080 --> 03:03:39,800
Uh, what else we got? Ah, yes, ASUS is rolling out fixes for rg laptops

1939
03:03:40,200 --> 03:03:46,680
Users have been complaining about stuttering issues on ASUS laptops and rg has released a beta BIOS update on september 26th

1940
03:03:47,080 --> 03:03:53,160
To remedy these issues currently it is a beta But there are plans for a finalized release in hopefully early october

1941
03:03:53,640 --> 03:04:01,560
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?

1942
03:04:02,680 --> 03:04:12,520
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

1943
03:04:13,000 --> 03:04:16,280
Sort of highlighted what what he thought were the problems with their

1944
03:04:16,920 --> 03:04:22,840
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

1945
03:04:23,080 --> 03:04:27,480
Yeah, I'm not too worried about it at the moment, but uh, why don't we do uh, oh, this is cool

1946
03:04:28,840 --> 03:04:31,480
pc games hardware dot de

1947
03:04:32,440 --> 03:04:34,440
Tested 180

1948
03:04:36,280 --> 03:04:41,320
I don't know. I don't read german. So whatever. Uh, I tested 180

1949
03:04:42,600 --> 03:04:50,520
Oh, okay. Well, apparently that was the wrong one. Uh, cool. Uh, tested 180 games across four benchmarks

1950
03:04:51,320 --> 03:05:01,240
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

1951
03:05:01,480 --> 03:05:08,520
180 gpus across four benchmarks in case you wanted to know how an rtx 50 90 compares to

1952
03:05:09,720 --> 03:05:12,920
Say a Radeon hd 57 50

1953
03:05:13,720 --> 03:05:17,080
Of this is super cool. You guys should go check it out

1954
03:05:17,640 --> 03:05:22,120
One of the top up voted comments on this was this is the sort of work that lab should be doing

1955
03:05:22,440 --> 03:05:26,520
With one of the top up voted replies to that being no, they shouldn't this is stupid

1956
03:05:27,000 --> 03:05:35,400
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

1957
03:05:35,800 --> 03:05:41,000
Really nailed down which is going to be a hot minute, which we don't yet and it's going to take some time

1958
03:05:41,400 --> 03:05:47,640
Quite a bit of time, but I am more than willing to keep shoveling that time on money into the furnace

1959
03:05:47,960 --> 03:05:52,840
Clarina time the the money furnace And that's what we use to heat our buildings in the winter

1960
03:05:53,240 --> 03:05:57,480
Um And and I I want to make I want to make this happen

1961
03:05:57,640 --> 03:06:02,440
I want to make it like interactive with some of the cool features that the Labs website has been working on

1962
03:06:02,680 --> 03:06:05,320
Or the Labs web team has been working on over the last little while like

1963
03:06:06,040 --> 03:06:10,600
Oh, oh, we had we had a topic called there's so much happening at Labs. Sure do. Oh, okay

1964
03:06:10,600 --> 03:06:14,840
We weren't showing any new features. So so give we'll get to that in a second. There's technically a feature

1965
03:06:15,240 --> 03:06:19,160
But like with all the comparison stuff with our ideas for like bringing your own price

1966
03:06:19,240 --> 03:06:24,600
Um so that you can compare like used stuff works. We just need more gps on the site, but those are coming

1967
03:06:24,760 --> 03:06:27,720
Yeah, let's go. So yeah, no, I I I want to do it

1968
03:06:28,280 --> 03:06:33,480
But we're gonna have to have Like like a a test farm

1969
03:06:34,120 --> 03:06:38,360
In order to to test at that kind of scale and I'm I'm here for it. I'm excited

1970
03:06:39,400 --> 03:06:43,400
It's gonna be a while But it's coming

1971
03:06:43,400 --> 03:06:48,680
Okay, is it time to talk about the articles. Okay. Sure. Yeah, there's been a lot of articles

1972
03:06:49,080 --> 03:06:57,480
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

1973
03:06:57,960 --> 03:07:01,160
iPhone 17 series test results, which is a

1974
03:07:01,960 --> 03:07:06,680
companion article and I do want to show off that feature. So if I'm on the

1975
03:07:07,480 --> 03:07:10,440
Say main page and I see these latest articles on the side

1976
03:07:10,760 --> 03:07:16,680
I can check out the different tags that they have so the iPhone 17 series has ShortCircuit companion

1977
03:07:16,920 --> 03:07:20,600
So if I click on that Well, there's one

1978
03:07:20,840 --> 03:07:25,720
The beta site has more than one That's a teaser. I guess but I'm used to that being more than one

1979
03:07:25,720 --> 03:07:30,040
I can go to investigative and see that we have all these articles that are tagged with investigative

1980
03:07:30,600 --> 03:07:36,680
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

1981
03:07:37,640 --> 03:07:42,600
series test results is great if you want to dive further into the iPhone than the

1982
03:07:43,320 --> 03:07:47,160
Video did in regards to performance and results and whatnot

1983
03:07:47,960 --> 03:07:50,760
This one was really fun. There was a quote from Linus

1984
03:07:51,560 --> 03:07:57,320
Where he said this graphics processing unit has functionally zero support for graphics processing

1985
03:07:57,560 --> 03:08:00,360
No vulcan no directx and no open gl to speak of

1986
03:08:01,080 --> 03:08:09,480
and that sparked Nick and jesse to to work on the why are these called graphics cards article, which I thought was

1987
03:08:10,200 --> 03:08:12,600
A brilliant idea for something to write and it's

1988
03:08:13,240 --> 03:08:17,640
Long and very interesting and I think you should check it out if that

1989
03:08:18,040 --> 03:08:21,560
Sparks your interest and then there's is there a question at the bottom here?

1990
03:08:21,720 --> 03:08:26,280
Yeah, we'd love to hear thoughts on the lcd forum and there's a little thread there So maybe check it out

1991
03:08:26,280 --> 03:08:33,720
Thread there on the h200 to be clear and then there is the newest one. This came out six hours ago

1992
03:08:34,440 --> 03:08:39,880
And this is the Intel arc pro b50 your workstation deserves nice things too

1993
03:08:40,680 --> 03:08:48,280
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

1994
03:08:48,520 --> 03:08:56,920
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

1995
03:08:57,960 --> 03:09:01,240
This article is kind of fun. There's memes. It's cool. Check it out

1996
03:09:01,240 --> 03:09:05,560
But yeah, we are we have been pumping some articles on the lab site and they are

1997
03:09:06,120 --> 03:09:09,560
Pretty neat pretty cool. So consider checking those out

1998
03:09:10,440 --> 03:09:15,480
the iphone 17 article got a lot of traffic from like

1999
03:09:16,280 --> 03:09:20,600
Suggestions and google and external sources not just people going to it, which was neat

2000
03:09:21,400 --> 03:09:25,720
our highest click through

2001
03:09:25,720 --> 03:09:30,200
Lately that isn't just google search has been

2002
03:09:30,280 --> 03:09:38,440
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

2003
03:09:39,400 --> 03:09:41,960
Well, yeah, but it's uh, it's hacker news

2004
03:09:42,680 --> 03:09:48,520
We've had more clicks from hacker news than the Linus tech tips or ShortCircuit youtube channels

2005
03:09:49,640 --> 03:09:55,000
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

2006
03:09:55,240 --> 03:09:59,800
So that's cool. I don't know necessarily what hacker news wants to know about things

2007
03:10:00,360 --> 03:10:03,160
But considering they're driving a decent amount of our traffic at this point

2008
03:10:03,480 --> 03:10:08,280
Um, if you're a frequenter of hacker news, maybe ask us some questions or something

2009
03:10:08,360 --> 03:10:11,320
I don't know. We'll keep we'll keep working on stuff at this point

2010
03:10:11,640 --> 03:10:17,960
The goal for Labs in regards to articles is that if we think something is interesting or we ask a question

2011
03:10:18,040 --> 03:10:25,800
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

2012
03:10:26,200 --> 03:10:29,160
Cool, we have an article on it because one of the big goals is to just

2013
03:10:29,800 --> 03:10:35,560
Expand the knowledge base within Labs and make it so that reading Labs articles is like a fun

2014
03:10:36,520 --> 03:10:45,240
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

2015
03:10:45,960 --> 03:10:47,960
news and announcements, but

2016
03:10:49,000 --> 03:10:52,120
Knowledge and learning and those those fun things. So

2017
03:10:52,840 --> 03:10:57,320
yeah Keep keep checking those out. We like writing those. We like your feedback

2018
03:10:57,640 --> 03:11:02,920
We don't have comments on the site yet, but we generally use the forum as a feedback vector. So

2019
03:11:03,800 --> 03:11:05,800
Do that, um

2020
03:11:07,320 --> 03:11:11,240
Yeah, that's basically that whole topic. I just wanted to show those articles cool

2021
03:11:12,120 --> 03:11:15,320
um man

2022
03:11:15,320 --> 03:11:18,120
How did we start out with I don't think we have enough

2023
03:11:18,680 --> 03:11:23,400
For the show today and then it's every time all man free time. This is wild

2024
03:11:24,200 --> 03:11:30,200
So red dot is an app that crowd sources and allows users to uh, wait

2025
03:11:31,480 --> 03:11:36,200
Uh, oh, yeah crowd sources and allows users to report sightings of ice officials in the us

2026
03:11:36,840 --> 03:11:40,280
Uh, google made a statement to 404 media claiming that it removed apps

2027
03:11:40,680 --> 03:11:43,640
Sharing the location of ice officials because they are a vulnerable group

2028
03:11:44,120 --> 03:11:47,080
Ice block was the first one to be removed from the app store

2029
03:11:47,400 --> 03:11:52,840
Apple made the move after receiving pressure from the u.s. Department of Justice following an attack that was made on an ice facility

2030
03:11:53,400 --> 03:11:59,000
injuring detainees google gave a statement to engadget that they never had ice block on their platform

2031
03:11:59,080 --> 03:12:03,240
But removed similar apps anyway for violations of their policies

2032
03:12:03,960 --> 03:12:09,480
Besides the recent attack google clarified that these apps didn't appropriately moderate user-generated content

2033
03:12:10,200 --> 03:12:15,880
red dot claimed that their app aggregates reports from multiple trusted sources alongside user-generated content to determine which

2034
03:12:16,360 --> 03:12:22,920
locations should be marked with activity However, the app developers asserted they do not track any individual person's movements

2035
03:12:23,000 --> 03:12:27,640
And they reject harassment interference or harm towards ice agents or anyone else

2036
03:12:28,120 --> 03:12:35,480
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

2037
03:12:36,280 --> 03:12:40,060
A discourse around this and how it has changed

2038
03:12:40,600 --> 03:12:44,760
Now that it is um

2039
03:12:44,760 --> 03:12:49,000
Ice agents rather than chinese authorities in hong kong

2040
03:12:50,840 --> 03:12:52,840
I will leave it there

2041
03:12:56,120 --> 03:13:00,520
No, I won't quite leave it there. There was a lot of discussion around how

2042
03:13:02,120 --> 03:13:06,840
Apple bending the knee to china um

2043
03:13:06,840 --> 03:13:14,280
By removing apps that allowed protesters to figure out where chinese authority crackdowns were happening

2044
03:13:14,760 --> 03:13:19,080
was um anti free speech anti american all that

2045
03:13:19,720 --> 03:13:23,240
Um, and for some reason it's an extremely different conversation

2046
03:13:23,800 --> 03:13:28,520
here um I'm not saying I don't think I'll take a position on

2047
03:13:29,080 --> 03:13:34,200
Whether these apps should that allow tracking of you know, law enforcement in near real time

2048
03:13:34,680 --> 03:13:40,360
Should exist on either platform. That's not really that's not really my role right now or here

2049
03:13:40,760 --> 03:13:49,240
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

2050
03:13:49,320 --> 03:13:53,320
Or if it's in your own That's all

2051
03:13:55,080 --> 03:13:59,880
Oh, no more ai stuff. Do we have to there's a lot of stuff in the dock. Can we just not?

2052
03:14:01,240 --> 03:14:04,600
um Yeah, let's just not

2053
03:14:04,600 --> 03:14:09,480
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

2054
03:14:10,040 --> 03:14:15,240
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

2055
03:14:15,560 --> 03:14:24,520
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

2056
03:14:24,680 --> 03:14:30,920
Office has demanded a backdoor to apple's encrypted cloud storage, but just for uk citizens this time

2057
03:14:31,240 --> 03:14:38,520
This follows a january order that sought global access to encrypted user data and caused diplomatic issues with the us

2058
03:14:38,920 --> 03:14:45,320
It was announced in august that the uk had agreed to drop the demand in regards to american citizens

2059
03:14:45,480 --> 03:14:50,120
But the logic appeared to be that any backdoor would weaken protections for us citizens

2060
03:14:50,680 --> 03:14:57,320
apple repeated last week We have never built a backdoor or master key to any of our products or services and we never

2061
03:14:58,040 --> 03:15:06,760
will Our discussion question is on a scale of one to ten how surveillance state do you consider the uk?

2062
03:15:07,560 --> 03:15:13,880
I don't live there. So I am I don't keep up with uk news nearly as closely as I do with

2063
03:15:14,680 --> 03:15:17,880
Canadian news and our nearest neighbor news

2064
03:15:18,440 --> 03:15:25,080
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

2065
03:15:26,040 --> 03:15:28,440
Yeah, yeah, I think that's fair to say

2066
03:15:29,320 --> 03:15:34,280
Oh, uh, we did the testing GPU's Yeah

2067
03:15:34,840 --> 03:15:38,040
AI stuff AI brain robot thing

2068
03:15:38,040 --> 03:15:43,080
I think us free western democracies need to really take a long hard look in the mirror and ask ourselves

2069
03:15:43,080 --> 03:15:48,120
How different we are from what the heck we're doing authoritarian states that we for so long

2070
03:15:48,680 --> 03:15:51,800
Um Turned up our noses that

2071
03:15:52,520 --> 03:15:56,360
There i'll say that much too all right

2072
03:15:56,360 --> 03:16:03,160
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

2073
03:16:03,880 --> 03:16:08,440
It's the body agnostic AI brain robot thing. Okay. It's pretty cool

2074
03:16:09,160 --> 03:16:13,080
To demo their body agnostic AI brain company demos

2075
03:16:13,960 --> 03:16:22,360
Is the name demos? Robots oh company demos robots relearning how to walk after being dismembered by a chainsaw

2076
03:16:23,160 --> 03:16:27,880
Pretty cool. Wow. Yeah, they're just like people instead of training one model for one

2077
03:16:27,960 --> 03:16:38,520
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

2078
03:16:39,400 --> 03:16:45,800
cool Now when the brain is popped into a new body it can adapt to whatever that body might be a major benefit

2079
03:16:45,880 --> 03:16:51,240
They showcase in the video is that it could adapt to modifications to whatever body it inhabits

2080
03:16:51,480 --> 03:16:54,200
Even on robots that it had not previously been trained on

2081
03:16:54,840 --> 03:17:02,760
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

2082
03:17:02,920 --> 03:17:07,160
It got clicks for sure. Yeah. Yeah. I got us to talk about it. Yeah

2083
03:17:07,800 --> 03:17:11,800
Good job marketing team. Yeah, pretty cool. Hopefully for your sake, they don't kill you first

2084
03:17:13,240 --> 03:17:15,240
Okay, he'll be first. Thanks, Luke

2085
03:17:16,600 --> 03:17:19,320
One of these days we're going to do the all positive news when show

2086
03:17:21,080 --> 03:17:25,880
But it is not that day I'm scared

2087
03:17:25,960 --> 03:17:28,600
I'm in danger. Well, you know, you don't like that you could like

2088
03:17:29,400 --> 03:17:33,560
Shoot it. It's like it's like a zombie at that point. It doesn't have to stop. Yeah

2089
03:17:34,360 --> 03:17:39,320
Yeah, I thought that that's sort of yeah, I mean, dude, it's like lower accurate video game though

2090
03:17:39,320 --> 03:17:43,400
There's this is where where they were going to shoot the red thing

2091
03:17:46,200 --> 03:17:51,800
They're gonna learn I'm playing the new final fantasy tactics remaster. Oh, I'm enjoying it

2092
03:17:51,960 --> 03:17:55,240
it's actually really good timing for it to come out because I have to uh

2093
03:17:55,880 --> 03:17:58,840
Start getting some time in with the uh xbox lax

2094
03:17:59,080 --> 03:18:03,960
You had issues with the final fantasy six remaster. Well, that was just like the okay

2095
03:18:03,960 --> 03:18:07,480
So they're relatively minor ones, but you had very different things. No final fantasy

2096
03:18:08,200 --> 03:18:12,040
It's pixel remaster. It's functionally the same game, but like

2097
03:18:14,120 --> 03:18:17,800
How do I put this you're saying tactics is functionally the same game? Well, okay

2098
03:18:17,880 --> 03:18:22,840
so final fantasy six pixel remaster was like a coat of paint and um

2099
03:18:23,480 --> 03:18:28,920
A newer translation. I don't prefer both of which are also true of the final fantasy tactics remaster

2100
03:18:29,400 --> 03:18:32,760
but with final fantasy six there were um

2101
03:18:33,960 --> 03:18:41,480
Like game balance issues like it felt like the like the tick rate wasn't right or something on certain abilities and

2102
03:18:42,120 --> 03:18:46,840
um like I don't know. There were things that didn't seem quite right overall was really good

2103
03:18:47,320 --> 03:18:51,800
But if I was to play through it again again again, I would probably just play the SNES cart

2104
03:18:52,520 --> 03:18:55,400
As for our tactics so far. It's looking pretty good. I'm playing the new

2105
03:18:56,040 --> 03:19:03,160
remastered one Are you looking this up? I'm playing the new remastered one, but it comes with the original as well and the

2106
03:19:04,360 --> 03:19:07,720
The director for the remaster is actually the director of the original game

2107
03:19:07,800 --> 03:19:11,480
So even some new content that was added in the advanced port of it

2108
03:19:11,640 --> 03:19:16,120
The gameboy advanced port of it has been removed because it was like not part of the original game

2109
03:19:16,200 --> 03:19:19,320
Is it the ivelice chronicles? Um ivelice

2110
03:19:19,560 --> 03:19:22,520
Yeah, ivelice ivelice ivelice. I think I

2111
03:19:23,080 --> 03:19:29,320
I originally played the game with no voice acting. So I don't actually the voice acting is really cool

2112
03:19:29,800 --> 03:19:38,440
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

2113
03:19:38,920 --> 03:19:41,480
Is I switch the language over to japanese which I don't speak

2114
03:19:42,040 --> 03:19:45,800
And so that way I can hear the intonation for as long as it goes

2115
03:19:46,360 --> 03:19:49,240
And then I can cut it off mid-sentence and I'll never know the difference

2116
03:19:51,640 --> 03:19:58,760
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

2117
03:19:59,480 --> 03:20:03,560
Switch graphic styles between or is it two launchers? There's two two games in the launcher

2118
03:20:03,880 --> 03:20:08,520
Oh, I see and it just has a lot of little creature comforts. I don't love some aspects of the interface

2119
03:20:08,600 --> 03:20:13,960
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

2120
03:20:14,360 --> 03:20:16,920
and like the off the menu for

2121
03:20:18,440 --> 03:20:21,800
Learning new job abilities and assigning them

2122
03:20:22,440 --> 03:20:26,920
Those are in two completely different places for reasons that I'm not quite sure that I fully understand

2123
03:20:27,000 --> 03:20:30,440
So hopefully these are things that they can continue to fine-tune over time

2124
03:20:30,920 --> 03:20:35,160
but little creature comforts like being able to press the right button to quickly

2125
03:20:36,120 --> 03:20:40,680
Navigate through cutscenes It's like a lifesaver because some of them are really long in this game

2126
03:20:40,760 --> 03:20:43,400
And I don't think the original had any way to fast forward or skip them

2127
03:20:44,360 --> 03:20:47,960
There's I would say better camera controls

2128
03:20:49,080 --> 03:20:51,480
Graphics look a little nicer. Yeah

2129
03:20:52,200 --> 03:20:56,520
An oddly big maybe not that odd an oddly big thing for me with remasters is

2130
03:20:57,000 --> 03:21:03,880
Are the controls more modern? Definitely because some of the some of the old controls for things are brutal. Well tactics was for ps1

2131
03:21:03,960 --> 03:21:06,920
I mean analog sticks were not a given. Yeah, right, so

2132
03:21:07,800 --> 03:21:14,120
Being able to use a stick for the camera control compared to I believe it was left and right

2133
03:21:14,840 --> 03:21:19,720
R1 r2 to rotate the camera on on the ps1 version. Yeah, it's an improvement

2134
03:21:19,880 --> 03:21:23,240
There's there's no official announcement as far as my understanding goes, but there's like

2135
03:21:23,880 --> 03:21:29,160
Very extensive reputable leaks that there's going to be a soundscreen black flag remaster

2136
03:21:29,960 --> 03:21:33,000
You'd play it. Mm-hmm. You'd play the heck out of that

2137
03:21:33,400 --> 03:21:42,920
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

2138
03:21:44,920 --> 03:21:49,960
Two there was three that I did. All right. Did you 100% assassin's creed two? Yep

2139
03:21:50,040 --> 03:21:54,760
Okay, then I got it at least one and you're still kind of actually entirely right because it was two

2140
03:21:55,480 --> 03:21:59,800
Two brotherhood and two ascension. Nice Nice

2141
03:22:01,400 --> 03:22:04,200
I got my luke lore like mostly down

2142
03:22:06,520 --> 03:22:11,960
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

2143
03:22:12,040 --> 03:22:14,040
That honestly sounds accurate

2144
03:22:16,920 --> 03:22:18,920
I think it's time for after dark should we do this thing

2145
03:22:20,120 --> 03:22:27,000
Uh, remember when after dark was like a cheeky name for when the wandshow ran really late and it had gotten dark outside

2146
03:22:27,480 --> 03:22:32,760
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?

2147
03:22:34,200 --> 03:22:40,680
I don't know. I don't know. I'm I'm I'm solely I'm solely responsible for your scheduling

2148
03:22:42,040 --> 03:22:44,200
Day in and day out as well as our

2149
03:22:47,960 --> 03:22:49,960
Keeping you on topic. Yeah way to be

2150
03:22:51,000 --> 03:22:54,760
All right after dark hit me with a merge message. I gotta push another button in

2151
03:22:55,640 --> 03:23:03,320
dance defense question mark, uh We didn't get to start the show today until rather late. Okay. I was doing something very important

2152
03:23:03,800 --> 03:23:06,440
I'm gonna be traveling next week and I

2153
03:23:07,320 --> 03:23:12,920
Um, are you away for when? No, okay, cool. Yeah, I'm just going down a bit summit. Um, so I was away next

2154
03:23:13,080 --> 03:23:16,840
I'm gonna be away next week and so I wasn't gonna have a chance to

2155
03:23:17,960 --> 03:23:21,960
Shoot a video that was like it was a quick one for me to write it took me like a couple hours

2156
03:23:22,200 --> 03:23:27,480
But I still needed a couple hours to write it and it's something that we need to address

2157
03:23:27,640 --> 03:23:29,960
I feel quite urgently and I didn't want to wait

2158
03:23:30,840 --> 03:23:34,600
Another week to be able to film it once I'm back

2159
03:23:35,160 --> 03:23:43,240
Um, it's addressing the issue around youtube members only videos on our channel and um, I think

2160
03:23:44,440 --> 03:23:46,920
They got to go and so I

2161
03:23:47,800 --> 03:23:54,600
Rather than us just Joinking them with no communication. I wanted us to have a very clear statement

2162
03:23:54,680 --> 03:23:57,720
So I wrote something up and then I uh, did like a quick quick

2163
03:23:58,120 --> 03:24:02,440
Almost like peer review for the script with uh, james and then jordan also had a look at it

2164
03:24:02,760 --> 03:24:05,880
And then I quickly shot it before when but it did take me a little bit of time

2165
03:24:06,120 --> 03:24:08,120
Do you have a way to export?

2166
03:24:09,160 --> 03:24:12,120
The Whoa, is this even okay?

2167
03:24:12,840 --> 03:24:15,800
I'll figure out if it's okay after do you have a way to export?

2168
03:24:16,360 --> 03:24:21,240
Uh, the email list of all your members. No All right, heavens. No, I mean youtube

2169
03:24:21,720 --> 03:24:27,400
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

2170
03:24:27,880 --> 03:24:34,200
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?

2171
03:24:35,160 --> 03:24:37,160
Uh, we can do that if we have like a

2172
03:24:38,360 --> 03:24:40,680
You know excel sheet. Oh, I see. Okay

2173
03:24:41,400 --> 03:24:45,240
All right, but we never mind. We'd want all their we need all their emails

2174
03:24:45,320 --> 03:24:50,680
Yeah, I thought we like had free trials as a mechanism now, but no, okay. Yeah, okay

2175
03:24:53,960 --> 03:25:02,440
Emerge messages Yeah, get me Linus is have on into the braces also any tips for someone switching to grafino is

2176
03:25:03,320 --> 03:25:10,760
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

2177
03:25:11,320 --> 03:25:14,840
Um, yeah, any excuse I guess

2178
03:25:16,520 --> 03:25:18,520
Damn

2179
03:25:27,560 --> 03:25:29,560
Who are you kissing Dan

2180
03:25:31,080 --> 03:25:33,080
I guess the unemployment line after that

2181
03:25:37,240 --> 03:25:39,640
I should say the same amount of people as you there you go

2182
03:25:41,720 --> 03:25:43,720
Give me a second. Give me a second

2183
03:25:46,600 --> 03:25:49,480
Late I'm slow jerosul says line is too mean

2184
03:25:51,880 --> 03:25:59,240
Hey, I started it Oh, man hot pond cracker says Yvonne likes to pick the food out. No, she definitely doesn't

2185
03:25:59,880 --> 03:26:07,960
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

2186
03:26:08,920 --> 03:26:13,720
I I I believe in I believe in personal hygiene. Did you mean like does food get lodged?

2187
03:26:14,360 --> 03:26:22,200
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

2188
03:26:22,760 --> 03:26:25,240
Yeah, because I was gonna say when I had braces I was absolutely a thing

2189
03:26:26,520 --> 03:26:32,200
um Oh as for graphing os I'd say I'd say

2190
03:26:32,680 --> 03:26:35,720
Graphine os so we have I actually shot that video today too

2191
03:26:36,280 --> 03:26:40,120
The the switch dude it has like the funniest intro. I think we've shot and probably

2192
03:26:41,560 --> 03:26:45,080
At least a month maybe like six months. It's so funny

2193
03:26:46,280 --> 03:26:48,680
It's start I'm I'm just like talking about

2194
03:26:49,480 --> 03:26:55,480
graphing os and I like Notice someone coming after me and then I go and I like try

2195
03:26:55,560 --> 03:26:59,640
I'm about to like try to steal a motorcycle and then like I get arrested

2196
03:27:00,120 --> 03:27:05,720
And then I'm like taking my mug shot because the the title of the video is going to be I tried the criminals

2197
03:27:05,720 --> 03:27:08,360
Choice the criminals phone of choice for a month

2198
03:27:08,920 --> 03:27:12,280
um But everything that I'm saying is just totally straight faced

2199
03:27:12,760 --> 03:27:18,680
Like about graphing os and and we almost immediately addressed that there's lots of reasons to be into graphing os

2200
03:27:19,480 --> 03:27:23,640
outside of if you're You know and never do well, but yeah

2201
03:27:24,600 --> 03:27:28,760
It ends up the Jordan wrote this hilarious thing. It's like the you know

2202
03:27:30,600 --> 03:27:36,360
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

2203
03:27:36,360 --> 03:27:41,560
So I like stub my toe and like wipe out and I'm like like peter griffin

2204
03:27:43,000 --> 03:27:49,000
graphing os like I don't know we uh, we put Jordan in one of those hilarious like british style

2205
03:27:49,400 --> 03:27:56,840
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

2206
03:27:57,400 --> 03:28:03,720
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

2207
03:28:03,720 --> 03:28:10,280
It's really funny Um should be good. Anyway, my tip would be do it at a time when you're gonna be

2208
03:28:10,920 --> 03:28:15,160
If you're not super technical like super super technical, you don't adb all the things

2209
03:28:15,640 --> 03:28:21,320
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

2210
03:28:21,640 --> 03:28:26,040
So that you have a bit of time for your side quests because there's gonna be some side quests

2211
03:28:26,120 --> 03:28:28,440
You're not going to just immediately start

2212
03:28:29,320 --> 03:28:32,360
smoothly daily driving it and everything works exactly the way that you expected to

2213
03:28:33,000 --> 03:28:36,840
That doesn't mean that it's bad in any way

2214
03:28:36,840 --> 03:28:40,280
Super cool and for a lot of people not for everyone

2215
03:28:40,520 --> 03:28:44,200
But just give yourself a bit of extra time to get it set up. That's what I would say

2216
03:28:46,040 --> 03:28:50,040
Hello Linus the tech and the tips winky face

2217
03:28:50,840 --> 03:28:57,480
I was recently watching an older ldd video and I was reminded that Linus hates monitor light bars

2218
03:28:57,880 --> 03:29:02,120
What are some other objectively wrong opinions you hold?

2219
03:29:03,800 --> 03:29:08,200
You're asking me to determine which things I believe are wrong

2220
03:29:09,880 --> 03:29:13,800
That's tough Luke, maybe you could tell me something that I

2221
03:29:14,440 --> 03:29:19,240
Am objectively wrong about I don't think you're objectively wrong about monitor bars. So

2222
03:29:19,720 --> 03:29:21,720
That's gonna be tough

2223
03:29:31,560 --> 03:29:37,240
You agree on a lot of stuff Yeah, I'm sure there's something there. I that's actually a really fun one

2224
03:29:37,400 --> 03:29:43,320
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

2225
03:29:44,120 --> 03:29:46,920
I think that means that Luke is also not sensible then

2226
03:29:47,800 --> 03:29:56,200
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

2227
03:29:56,680 --> 03:29:58,680
um, Luke is right when actually

2228
03:29:59,960 --> 03:30:05,480
Pretty aligned on like a lot of stuff the most annoying thing for me is when like we will battle about something

2229
03:30:05,880 --> 03:30:07,880
And people are like, oh, yeah

2230
03:30:09,400 --> 03:30:13,000
And then a month later, I agree with you on something and they're like, what a

2231
03:30:13,960 --> 03:30:19,480
You won't you won't stand up for himself. It's definitely Linus obviously holds so much

2232
03:30:19,960 --> 03:30:24,600
Financial sway over him that he can't disagree. Maybe I thought it was fine. I don't know

2233
03:30:24,920 --> 03:30:27,880
I don't know. Maybe they're maybe their professional body language

2234
03:30:28,920 --> 03:30:35,320
analysts Like I don't know man, and they can use little snippets from wancho to determine your

2235
03:30:36,200 --> 03:30:38,840
innermost thoughts. What are you objectively wrong about?

2236
03:30:40,440 --> 03:30:44,600
Objectively wrong about I gotta be

2237
03:30:44,600 --> 03:30:49,880
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

2238
03:30:50,520 --> 03:30:53,240
Think of something that you believe is right

2239
03:30:54,120 --> 03:30:59,000
That is objectively wrong because obviously if I thought it was objectively wrong, I would

2240
03:31:00,360 --> 03:31:05,720
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

2241
03:31:06,360 --> 03:31:13,960
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

2242
03:31:15,640 --> 03:31:21,880
um I think this is just hamburgers versus hot dogs. There's also been a really there's I mean

2243
03:31:21,960 --> 03:31:29,160
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

2244
03:31:29,400 --> 03:31:36,360
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

2245
03:31:36,440 --> 03:31:42,840
Okay. Yeah, there is a clear impact here. Yeah tech channels with tech savvy audiences were disproportionately impacted by

2246
03:31:43,560 --> 03:31:48,840
view count Changes that allegedly were caused by

2247
03:31:49,400 --> 03:31:55,160
um, something to do with ad blocking. I thought it was interesting because like this is obvious, but

2248
03:31:56,120 --> 03:32:00,920
I just like never really thought about it. It's always been talked about how cpms and tech are really low

2249
03:32:01,640 --> 03:32:06,840
Yeah During that period considering and tech considering how affluent

2250
03:32:07,320 --> 03:32:10,520
And the ages the demographics of the audience spend

2251
03:32:10,920 --> 03:32:15,080
Yeah, and how they're often kind of based around shopping reviews of products you might buy

2252
03:32:15,160 --> 03:32:20,840
Yeah, but cpms and tech are really low and then suddenly that happens and cpms and tech are not low anymore

2253
03:32:21,560 --> 03:32:24,520
Because revenues stayed the same but the views went down

2254
03:32:24,760 --> 03:32:32,360
So your cpm reflective of only the viewers that had no ad blocking. Yeah cpms went way way up

2255
03:32:32,520 --> 03:32:36,920
Yeah, so if if nobody was running ad block tech cpms would be really good

2256
03:32:37,320 --> 03:32:43,320
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

2257
03:32:43,400 --> 03:32:46,600
But dude, they'd be much healthier. I'd say that

2258
03:32:50,760 --> 03:32:55,960
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

2259
03:32:56,040 --> 03:32:58,760
I thought you guys were gonna hit me with this like bring it on

2260
03:32:59,560 --> 03:33:06,040
But we're not making a Linus town is not objectively wrong. That is not inevitable and I am not wrong for

2261
03:33:06,520 --> 03:33:10,200
Not making a new christmas album. It was awful. It was so

2262
03:33:11,000 --> 03:33:18,200
awful Uh, it was just oh god. It was awful. I think we should I think we should make a new christmas album

2263
03:33:19,560 --> 03:33:25,400
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

2264
03:33:26,120 --> 03:33:31,640
Okay, that's objectively wrong objectively. I think it wraps around to be better

2265
03:33:34,120 --> 03:33:38,360
Uh, we should just move on I don't think we should move on I there there are I guarantee you there are things

2266
03:33:38,440 --> 03:33:43,160
I think this of I'm just can't think of it right now should post them on lab's website

2267
03:33:45,080 --> 03:33:47,080
Just have a look at the wrong blog

2268
03:33:48,520 --> 03:33:54,840
As experienced youtube creators often many channels have the same sponsor in which I am interested

2269
03:33:55,720 --> 03:33:58,200
Though whose link should I buy?

2270
03:33:59,000 --> 03:34:06,520
Through whose link should I buy what? Supports creators more which channels get paid more what supports creators more

2271
03:34:07,000 --> 03:34:10,680
So, okay, um affiliate links right basically you choose

2272
03:34:11,640 --> 03:34:15,240
Oh, man, that's a personal choice. I although I think there's different ways you could go about it

2273
03:34:15,320 --> 03:34:19,160
So you basically the question is you watch a bunch of different creators. They all have

2274
03:34:19,880 --> 03:34:24,520
Referral links for the same product or service sure planning to buy so you're gonna buy a laptop

2275
03:34:24,600 --> 03:34:29,400
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

2276
03:34:29,720 --> 03:34:33,320
You could do it based on who you've gotten the most value out of over the years

2277
03:34:33,880 --> 03:34:37,640
But I personally I lean away from those two. I lean more towards

2278
03:34:38,520 --> 03:34:42,600
Who had the best pitch who had the most interesting pitch that you felt?

2279
03:34:44,120 --> 03:34:49,560
Conveyed the value of the product really well, um, but didn't mislead or overhype it

2280
03:34:50,200 --> 03:34:55,560
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

2281
03:34:55,560 --> 03:34:59,320
Yeah, who had the best pitch who who put a bit of extra work into

2282
03:35:00,120 --> 03:35:03,960
Into doing the read. I think that would be a pretty okay way to do it

2283
03:35:04,200 --> 03:35:06,760
But also the other two are are perfectly reasonable

2284
03:35:09,000 --> 03:35:12,920
Yeah, I don't know. I think it's a pretty good answer. I don't really understand the

2285
03:35:14,520 --> 03:35:20,360
uh Like what makes some more money or what crater makes more money thing

2286
03:35:20,840 --> 03:35:28,120
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

2287
03:35:29,160 --> 03:35:35,720
obviously My name being Linus is objectively wrong because it's because Linus Torvalds

2288
03:35:36,360 --> 03:35:42,440
pronounces it away cooler. My first name is English. My last name is French. So your name is objectively wrong. Yeah

2289
03:35:43,080 --> 03:35:45,480
Yeah, two objectively wrongs make a right

2290
03:35:47,080 --> 03:35:51,720
No, but three lefts do two elves do make a w

2291
03:35:53,800 --> 03:35:56,600
Yeah, that's pretty good and your name has to

2292
03:35:59,240 --> 03:36:06,440
I could do shape recognition Where does the two elves make a w thing come from because I know I've done it

2293
03:36:06,520 --> 03:36:13,240
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

2294
03:36:13,240 --> 03:36:15,480
I'm sure it was a thing. It's got to be a thing, right? Yeah

2295
03:36:17,080 --> 03:36:19,480
You're objectively wrong for thinking that you get credit for that

2296
03:36:20,120 --> 03:36:22,120
maybe

2297
03:36:23,400 --> 03:36:28,600
Hey, I saw you. I saw you. I saw that flash. I saw the flash on the stream dad

2298
03:36:29,160 --> 03:36:33,880
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

2299
03:36:34,920 --> 03:36:40,920
I could just hold it and then when you release it appears. Hey, dear little watching from japan question four

2300
03:36:41,480 --> 03:36:45,480
Oh Scappard war season four. What about it?

2301
03:36:46,280 --> 03:36:50,520
from japan Yours was worse painting a silver case silver as lame

2302
03:36:51,320 --> 03:36:55,160
You're objectively wrong You painted a silver case silver

2303
03:36:55,880 --> 03:37:03,480
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

2304
03:37:04,200 --> 03:37:06,520
I resources of fire. I painted

2305
03:37:07,480 --> 03:37:11,400
I should think bob painted but someone on my team painted that case

2306
03:37:12,120 --> 03:37:15,080
Silver because it was in what color did it start us?

2307
03:37:15,960 --> 03:37:23,080
A different silver that was an extremely poor condition very creative extremely poor condition very creative of you

2308
03:37:23,640 --> 03:37:29,080
There were budgetary constraints, which you well know. That's part of scrappard wars. It's weird purchased silver paint

2309
03:37:30,040 --> 03:37:35,400
I believe so. Actually, maybe it was all we had. I you know, that was a very long time ago

2310
03:37:35,480 --> 03:37:39,080
I'm amazed yours. Maybe it's because you haven't won lately that you're so hung up on

2311
03:37:39,800 --> 03:37:42,440
Back then I was way ahead. Is that is that I like this?

2312
03:37:43,000 --> 03:37:47,240
It makes me feel just because you don't have any recent victories to rub in my face. I uh

2313
03:37:47,720 --> 03:37:55,960
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

2314
03:37:57,240 --> 03:38:01,960
You know for a fact that

2315
03:38:02,360 --> 03:38:09,800
Internally and in the audience Nobody roots for me just because I run the company

2316
03:38:10,360 --> 03:38:14,840
I I think it must have you know this. I think it must have that season because there is no way

2317
03:38:15,000 --> 03:38:22,280
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

2318
03:38:23,800 --> 03:38:30,360
Maybe some cheating involved this one. No just bull spit just trash bull. This one was trash bull spit

2319
03:38:30,600 --> 03:38:34,200
Did I win did I win that one do one season four? I don't even remember

2320
03:38:35,080 --> 03:38:39,800
I've won so many especially recently that I can hardly makes no sense at all. I can hardly recall anymore

2321
03:38:40,680 --> 03:38:45,160
I think you're only actually like tied with me now and you're talking so much smack

2322
03:38:45,640 --> 03:38:52,280
I'm only doing it because I know it bothers you so much. It's so trash. He's actually so upset

2323
03:38:52,360 --> 03:39:00,200
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

2324
03:39:01,080 --> 03:39:03,080
Oh, yeah, he's angry

2325
03:39:04,600 --> 03:39:10,360
Okay, so here's our judges Uh, hold on. Where is okay. So where's my machine?

2326
03:39:11,000 --> 03:39:17,720
So, oh look a silver computer versus one that's on fire in the background with pistons on it

2327
03:39:18,600 --> 03:39:24,680
Yeah, you you Doesn't seem very practical you put the stuff in pistons. I did

2328
03:39:25,400 --> 03:39:28,360
Uh, I'm not gonna ding that. Okay. Hold on. Yeah

2329
03:39:29,800 --> 03:39:34,120
Okay, man, we never Freakin scrapyard worse, man. We like

2330
03:39:36,120 --> 03:39:39,080
What do the systems look like? Oh, hold on

2331
03:39:39,800 --> 03:39:46,120
Man, it's amazing that we're a video production company. It's still on fire. It didn't have to be on fire

2332
03:39:46,440 --> 03:39:50,760
Burn for that fuel a long time. Yeah. It was like a tiki thing. It was stupid

2333
03:39:50,840 --> 03:39:55,560
You didn't have to have it on fire. It was able to be not on fire. How did we go from this?

2334
03:39:56,360 --> 03:40:00,920
to The finale without actually seeing the damn systems

2335
03:40:06,440 --> 03:40:11,480
Wow, you know how it ends here. Hold on. I think I can see how it ends here. Oh, what was this?

2336
03:40:12,280 --> 03:40:17,160
Wait, you guys won. What are you even talking about? What are you even mad about? I don't think so

2337
03:40:17,160 --> 03:40:20,920
Oh, no, we won. Wow by point eight. No wonder you're mad. Yeah

2338
03:40:21,880 --> 03:40:31,000
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

2339
03:40:32,520 --> 03:40:35,000
I feel bad for you. Yeah, well, it's a scam

2340
03:40:36,520 --> 03:40:39,800
It's just actually a scam. I don't feel bad for it. I got a clarinet

2341
03:40:42,680 --> 03:40:46,680
You still playing the off the interest here Okay

2342
03:40:46,920 --> 03:40:55,640
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

2343
03:40:56,360 --> 03:41:01,400
Yeah Why do you have a before that's stupid? You can't show the before of what it

2344
03:41:02,120 --> 03:41:05,400
I don't know what the before is out. Did we do that? I don't remember that at all

2345
03:41:06,280 --> 03:41:08,840
Apparently, I think you were just showing off that you had extra hardware

2346
03:41:09,400 --> 03:41:13,960
Maybe if you'd spent all of the money on the hardware you actually presented to the judges, you might have won

2347
03:41:14,680 --> 03:41:18,280
We probably if we did we probably got it for free. I think we were pretty scrappy that season

2348
03:41:18,440 --> 03:41:22,600
Yeah, and I don't think anyone had introduced the meta of selling stuff yet. I don't think so

2349
03:41:23,240 --> 03:41:27,480
I think that was the jane dimitri

2350
03:41:27,480 --> 03:41:34,680
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

2351
03:41:34,760 --> 03:41:38,360
But look how classy it is. It looks like it came off a shelf at a store

2352
03:41:38,840 --> 03:41:43,800
Except it didn't Except it didn't it was yeah, I imagine doing all that work to make it look normal

2353
03:41:43,880 --> 03:41:50,040
It was so garbage before we got it and now look how like class it looks water cooled

2354
03:41:50,520 --> 03:41:55,160
Liquid cooled that's custom by the way that custom liquid cooling

2355
03:41:56,280 --> 03:42:01,160
It was an aio and then we used clear tubing to make it not an aio

2356
03:42:01,320 --> 03:42:04,840
I didn't want to bake some just so bored looking at that boring computer

2357
03:42:05,560 --> 03:42:10,120
Wow Anyways, we can move on

2358
03:42:11,720 --> 03:42:17,320
Hey, dear law watching from japan question for luke. I'm a lead. I just start up using float planes stack

2359
03:42:17,640 --> 03:42:25,240
How strictly do you enforce folder file structure linting and code consistency versus shipping fast first more so

2360
03:42:25,800 --> 03:42:30,040
first one then the other Shipping fast for a long time and then

2361
03:42:30,280 --> 03:42:34,360
Realizing. Yeah We we do a lot more now

2362
03:42:35,080 --> 03:42:39,480
I you didn't say tests or test driven development. We don't go that far

2363
03:42:40,280 --> 03:42:45,640
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

2364
03:42:47,000 --> 03:42:53,320
Far from it really but and I I think that's fine. Do you lint? Yes, and we are

2365
03:42:54,760 --> 03:43:00,520
Slowly improving that over time. I know jaden's doing a ton of work right now trying to

2366
03:43:01,240 --> 03:43:05,160
Uh get like some of the last bits fully properly linted

2367
03:43:06,600 --> 03:43:09,480
Which will be nice will be good

2368
03:43:10,520 --> 03:43:17,160
and Then from there on we should be able to continue with 100 linted code. Um, that's been a

2369
03:43:19,240 --> 03:43:26,440
Many years long project because it's been one of those things where like just we we never pursued 100 all at once

2370
03:43:26,840 --> 03:43:31,000
We would do like okay. We're going to work on this project that touches this part of the code base

2371
03:43:31,320 --> 03:43:37,160
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

2372
03:43:37,640 --> 03:43:46,920
feature requests which allowed us to Keep releasing things that would either make you know creators or users or or developers or whatever happy

2373
03:43:47,400 --> 03:43:50,680
um But progressing on this goal at the same time

2374
03:43:51,160 --> 03:43:55,320
Um, and a lot of that has been driven by jaden. He's been doing great with it. So

2375
03:43:56,120 --> 03:44:00,040
That's where we're at with that Yeah

2376
03:44:00,040 --> 03:44:06,280
What technology do you feel is taken for granted and underrated in 2025?

2377
03:44:06,520 --> 03:44:09,800
Honestly almost all of it. I think it is. Oh hell, yeah

2378
03:44:10,120 --> 03:44:16,440
I think it's as much as it pains me that a top of the line GPU for like consumer grade GPU

2379
03:44:16,520 --> 03:44:20,360
It starts at two thousand us dollars and goes up to three thousand us dollars

2380
03:44:20,760 --> 03:44:25,320
Like if you showed that to someone When I was a kid

2381
03:44:25,320 --> 03:44:32,440
Like if you and and as much as modern games aren't optimized enough and the developers are lazy like

2382
03:44:33,800 --> 03:44:38,920
Dude, if you showed uh, well, what was the what was it borderlands for that's been under fire lately?

2383
03:44:39,080 --> 03:44:42,200
If you showed borderlands for to me when I was a kid

2384
03:44:42,920 --> 03:44:53,000
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

2385
03:44:53,880 --> 03:45:00,200
um Entitled when it comes to the the the the technology that we just

2386
03:45:00,840 --> 03:45:08,440
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

2387
03:45:08,680 --> 03:45:12,200
I mean, I was pretty upset when apple made the airpods pro 3

2388
03:45:13,240 --> 03:45:19,400
Downgraded from the airpods pro 2 in some key ways that mattered a lot to me. We should we should definitely

2389
03:45:20,280 --> 03:45:23,960
You know hold trillion dollar companies accountable when they

2390
03:45:24,680 --> 03:45:28,920
Do things that make their products worse or make our lives worse

2391
03:45:29,320 --> 03:45:33,080
um But broadly speaking

2392
03:45:33,480 --> 03:45:39,320
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

2393
03:45:39,720 --> 03:45:42,920
And another one in our backpack and another one on our desk at home like dude

2394
03:45:43,320 --> 03:45:48,520
Entire families had one pc and that was when you were doing really well when I was a kid, you know

2395
03:45:50,360 --> 03:45:55,240
So all of it Technology is so cool, man

2396
03:45:55,560 --> 03:45:58,680
Like freaking like ever just like hold a CPU and go like

2397
03:45:59,640 --> 03:46:03,480
Oh my god Like there's physical features in this

2398
03:46:04,680 --> 03:46:08,200
That are built literally on a scale of like actual atoms

2399
03:46:09,400 --> 03:46:17,560
Oh my god. How is this attainable at something even remotely approaching a consumer price? How is this not exclusive to world governments?

2400
03:46:17,640 --> 03:46:24,760
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

2401
03:46:25,960 --> 03:46:29,400
Silicon based processors. Yeah, anything a microprocessor or whatever. It's

2402
03:46:30,680 --> 03:46:36,600
The manufacturing that goes into them and then the fact that you can buy them for like a few hundred dollars. Yeah

2403
03:46:37,560 --> 03:46:40,920
It's a few hundred dollars, but what goes into it is

2404
03:46:41,800 --> 03:46:46,280
Billions of dollars like the craziest thing humans have done

2405
03:46:47,560 --> 03:46:50,440
And then it's like a consumer good like that's

2406
03:46:51,400 --> 03:46:53,400
wild amazing that it ever achieved

2407
03:46:54,520 --> 03:47:04,200
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

2408
03:47:04,840 --> 03:47:12,040
of The process involved is nuts like back in the day they dip wafers by hand

2409
03:47:12,440 --> 03:47:16,040
into chemical baths and like it was this it was this like

2410
03:47:16,920 --> 03:47:20,520
Very sciencey kind of process and now you have just these

2411
03:47:21,480 --> 03:47:28,280
boxes of mystery and Amazing science comes out the other end and there isn't even anyone in the room like

2412
03:47:29,320 --> 03:47:38,360
Whoa incredible Uh ninja van away says uh the the air pods pro 3 reaction caused quite a stir in the audiophile community

2413
03:47:38,920 --> 03:47:44,920
um, yeah sure did And uh, apparently critical uploaded a video today

2414
03:47:46,120 --> 03:47:52,840
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

2415
03:47:53,560 --> 03:47:59,240
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

2416
03:48:01,160 --> 03:48:03,160
Oh well

2417
03:48:04,600 --> 03:48:13,000
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

2418
03:48:13,320 --> 03:48:18,440
We actually we played for the first time like I think like a week before he left or something like that

2419
03:48:18,520 --> 03:48:22,120
And on his last day, I was like we should play tape to tape. I haven't played alex

2420
03:48:22,680 --> 03:48:25,720
I haven't played any tape to tape lately work's been busy, which

2421
03:48:26,600 --> 03:48:28,600
I'm sure is relatable

2422
03:48:31,720 --> 03:48:34,600
Based on your but yes, I'm down. Okay

2423
03:48:36,680 --> 03:48:39,880
Based on your metrics on youtube or flow plane

2424
03:48:40,120 --> 03:48:43,640
What's the weirdest type of device someone has used to watch LTT?

2425
03:48:44,280 --> 03:48:48,680
I don't know if we would really have a ton of insight. We see browser, but if I remember correctly

2426
03:48:49,560 --> 03:48:52,440
We joked about this a long time ago

2427
03:48:53,160 --> 03:48:57,160
And then people did a fridge and a ds or something nice

2428
03:48:57,880 --> 03:49:00,360
Um ds is pretty good. I'm I'm taking ds

2429
03:49:01,080 --> 03:49:05,880
That's sick. I think that was it Yeah

2430
03:49:06,840 --> 03:49:09,720
Sorry was replying to one here one second

2431
03:49:11,240 --> 03:49:17,320
Yeah, crystal. I played a week ago at a LAN. I was playing with local people. Come on. Yeah, it doesn't count

2432
03:49:18,680 --> 03:49:23,720
Hey, when considering NVIDIA's recent buy-in of Intel

2433
03:49:24,120 --> 03:49:31,080
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?

2434
03:49:31,080 --> 03:49:36,120
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

2435
03:49:36,840 --> 03:49:40,360
This is not financial advice and it's especially not financial advice today

2436
03:49:40,920 --> 03:49:43,560
But I think long Intel is a good bet

2437
03:49:44,120 --> 03:49:47,720
That wouldn't have paid off as well as NVIDIA back when I said it

2438
03:49:48,280 --> 03:49:56,040
But the reasons that I gave for very very long Intel were many of them still valid today

2439
03:49:56,360 --> 03:49:59,640
I said I believed in pat's vision. Unfortunately, that one's not valid

2440
03:49:59,880 --> 03:50:04,760
but all the other things that I brought up around the geopolitical importance of

2441
03:50:05,640 --> 03:50:09,640
Intel being Functionally the only non-southeast asian

2442
03:50:12,200 --> 03:50:15,800
Cutting edge semiconductor manufacturer

2443
03:50:16,520 --> 03:50:20,280
have actually Come to be true. I mean

2444
03:50:20,440 --> 03:50:26,840
Literally the u.s. government put billions of dollars into Intel to make sure that china can't just

2445
03:50:28,120 --> 03:50:33,880
Take a little robo to cross that tiny little strip of water and

2446
03:50:35,160 --> 03:50:41,640
Completely invalidate any attempts at u.s. Sanctions on semiconductor products forever more

2447
03:50:42,200 --> 03:50:52,360
um Yeah, every yeah every everything I said then was still true except for I believe in pat's vision and now I just

2448
03:50:55,320 --> 03:51:00,440
Now I just have no idea what the vision is I'm still hoping that arc will will will stick around

2449
03:51:01,080 --> 03:51:03,640
But I I can't I yeah, I can't um

2450
03:51:05,320 --> 03:51:10,840
I really hope arc discreet arc sticks around and I mean with ai being what it is

2451
03:51:11,960 --> 03:51:22,120
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?

2452
03:51:22,360 --> 03:51:26,520
Yo like battle matrix, dude battle matrix super cool

2453
03:51:28,280 --> 03:51:34,520
Uh I hope so man I hope that ai gives it a reason for them to keep putting money into it

2454
03:51:34,920 --> 03:51:39,080
long enough that the gaming cards can reach a break even point where just

2455
03:51:39,640 --> 03:51:43,880
If at we're at the very least they can just ignore it and it can keep doing its thing in the corner

2456
03:51:43,960 --> 03:51:49,560
That'll be awesome. That that's my best. That's my they're gonna have to get off of zero percent market share

2457
03:51:49,560 --> 03:51:54,040
Yeah, they'll have to do that. Um, okay. Hey, is it time for our weekly arc watch?

2458
03:51:56,760 --> 03:51:59,880
Let's go arc watch

2459
03:51:59,880 --> 03:52:02,920
I don't think for this the invidia

2460
03:52:03,720 --> 03:52:08,040
Investment thing is going to change the path for arc GPU's

2461
03:52:09,800 --> 03:52:17,000
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

2462
03:52:17,080 --> 03:52:24,280
This is big dumb. This is misleading. This is not 90 dollars off the msrp of the arc b580 is 250 dollars, but

2463
03:52:25,320 --> 03:52:31,400
You can buy an onyx odyssey arc b580 for 249 dollars and 99 cents

2464
03:52:31,880 --> 03:52:36,600
And you can pay in four interest free payments of 62 50

2465
03:52:40,040 --> 03:52:45,080
I I am throwing back to an earlier conversation on the show

2466
03:52:46,360 --> 03:52:49,160
That is not a suggestion. That is not

2467
03:52:50,440 --> 03:52:56,120
Not a recommendation, but if you have 250 dollars in your pocket right now

2468
03:52:56,520 --> 03:52:59,480
And if you need a pretty dease

2469
03:53:00,200 --> 03:53:04,040
1440p or really excellent 1080p gaming GPU

2470
03:53:04,520 --> 03:53:08,440
and if you want to be a crazy person and have

2471
03:53:08,520 --> 03:53:10,680
lossless scaling stuff going on

2472
03:53:12,040 --> 03:53:18,760
Free 3d mark Definitely not as good as that battlefield deal, but that was a crazy deal. That was a really good deal

2473
03:53:19,400 --> 03:53:23,000
Uh, what else we got as rock has one for 269 99 if you want pretty close

2474
03:53:23,160 --> 03:53:28,280
It has 50 more fans for only, you know, eight percent more dollars. So I guess that's a deal

2475
03:53:28,840 --> 03:53:32,680
Um, oh wow those, uh, those reference cards are

2476
03:53:33,400 --> 03:53:37,560
Not available first party from new egg. Remember that one was going during Intel gamer deals

2477
03:53:37,800 --> 03:53:43,160
They had like like a thousand of them were in the car or something like that. Yeah, whatever it was. Um

2478
03:53:44,360 --> 03:53:49,320
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

2479
03:53:51,000 --> 03:53:54,360
Remember we probably sold like a thousand GPU's that one wancho and I was like, hey

2480
03:53:54,360 --> 03:53:58,680
Do we have an affiliate link and then I was like, I should look that up. Let's do that every week. Yeah

2481
03:53:59,800 --> 03:54:03,240
Yeah, so I got one part of it. I got the part where we just do this every week

2482
03:54:03,240 --> 03:54:08,280
I didn't get the part where we make any money But you know what? It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter because

2483
03:54:09,000 --> 03:54:12,520
you can get an asrock challenger b580 for 259 99

2484
03:54:13,160 --> 03:54:20,280
and Check out game sale. That's not a deal. Don't forget your os get this out of here. The point is

2485
03:54:21,240 --> 03:54:28,040
arc 259 99 249 99 you can buy one right now. I really really want Intel to survive

2486
03:54:28,120 --> 03:54:32,280
We need somebody to keep NVIDIA honest and AMD is

2487
03:54:32,760 --> 03:54:37,320
clearly not Up to the challenge

2488
03:54:37,640 --> 03:54:44,840
Hi, lld finally got calios sg 10 copper edition case. That's the fanless one

2489
03:54:45,480 --> 03:54:50,440
Um, do you have any tips and recommendations for building in it? Have fun

2490
03:54:50,840 --> 03:54:55,000
Dude, it's It's so cool. Take your time

2491
03:54:55,320 --> 03:55:00,120
Go slow. It's really heavy. Don't be go into it

2492
03:55:00,840 --> 03:55:03,800
Fully understanding like I would build the whole thing

2493
03:55:04,680 --> 03:55:07,800
and then I would make the assumption

2494
03:55:08,040 --> 03:55:13,720
That when I'm done building I'm going to want to tear it all down and do it again with everything

2495
03:55:13,720 --> 03:55:17,720
I learned to the first time because it really is not a for beginners build

2496
03:55:18,360 --> 03:55:25,080
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

2497
03:55:25,960 --> 03:55:30,520
And last one I got for you today. Hey Linus for kids

2498
03:55:30,600 --> 03:55:37,480
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

2499
03:55:37,720 --> 03:55:41,720
But it can still be Located and called with texting

2500
03:55:42,120 --> 03:55:45,080
Honestly, that was a big part of apple's pitch for the new se

2501
03:55:45,640 --> 03:55:49,880
It is like for kids and it seems like a pretty compelling

2502
03:55:51,320 --> 03:55:53,880
Price that seems pretty cool. Yeah, um

2503
03:55:55,800 --> 03:56:03,000
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

2504
03:56:03,160 --> 03:56:08,040
But if what you're after is for them to Not have the functionality

2505
03:56:08,040 --> 03:56:12,280
um, there seems like the goal not a ton of other options like the the the uh

2506
03:56:13,480 --> 03:56:18,440
The dumb phone Market seems to have gone like super upscale over the last few years

2507
03:56:18,440 --> 03:56:21,880
You notice that like they went from being these super affordable

2508
03:56:22,520 --> 03:56:29,080
non-featured Devices where the whole point was that they're cheap and cheerful and now they're like bougie

2509
03:56:29,960 --> 03:56:37,880
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

2510
03:56:38,680 --> 03:56:43,640
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

2511
03:56:44,200 --> 03:56:48,280
Then they can just pair it to their phone and they can just keep using that same watch probably

2512
03:56:50,840 --> 03:56:54,920
All I got And that's all I got for you

2513
03:56:55,880 --> 03:57:00,440
Until next week same bad time same bad channel. Bye

2514
03:57:05,640 --> 03:57:07,640
How long was that show?

2515
03:57:22,840 --> 03:57:25,160
You
