I just assumed John Cena has come up because of the intro we did on the old transparent PC Mmm, and I cannot take any of the credit for that like I I tuned I did what I do Like I'm our like a writing editor So I like tuned the like the dialogue and the script and you know everything but the actual concept was one of our one of our new members of the writing team who you'll probably meet fairly shortly because I think his Probation is up in like three days or something like that but for now, he's a probationary writer who has Really leaned into the Shocking imagery intro concept That he seems to have come up I Okay, this is open should we let the YouTube people wait a little bit or What do you want to do Dan?

Have you seen how like heroin sheik is back? No, yeah, it's like a whole thing now and it's it's it's it's it's fascinating I thought we were like some semi permanently beyond that Well, no because the biggest beautiful happened for a long time Oh, so now we're swinging back and now we're swinging hard the other way because of like a zempik and stuff. Oh I mean, I've seen Two people that probably fit in this category that are doing a big press tour to promote Yeah, so that's a whole it's so it's like a whole thing and it's been really interesting watching like body positivity subreddit Scrapple with this Because on the one hand Everybody is beautiful and we should not shame anyone for anything but on the other hand Have you seen how skinny those bitches are that one's very different than mine. I don't like that That's bad Yeah, it's been it's been very Fascinating to watch. I just you know, I watch I watch Internet drama, you know It's nice to watch it instead of be embroiled in it once in a while you watch Internet drama. I do I Do it's interesting, huh? It's culture I think that's sad Do you? Yeah, it doesn't make me sad. You don't watch much What do you mean by watch? I understand it goes. Oh, no, like I don't watch videos about it Oh, no, no, no, I just I observe it got it. Yeah, I observe it in text form It's always text form with me. That's why I was like, what the heck although I thought you were breaking You're like, I don't watch pretty much anything thing just to watch drama heavens. No, yeah, okay That's why I was like that's insane. Yeah Okay, I have been watching more films lately though. I This week should we start Because we could talk with us. Yeah, we're pre-showing. I yeah, I'm not gonna be talking about like weight loss Reddit drama on the main show. That's not gonna happen But yeah, I've been watching more films lately. I've been like catching up on you know worthwhile films. I I don't know if I would say that they're especially worthwhile But I finally watched the equalizer trilogy with Denzel Washington. Okay. God. He's an amazing actor Like that second film the script was awful. It was just like it was so dumb. It was so bad And yet he made it watchable because he's just God, is he ever good? He is very good. Um And the first one is like It's like very watchable and the third one's pretty watchable and uh, what I what I liked most about them was they managed to be an action movie Where the there is no unnecessary like love interest and sex scene His relationships can just be platonic with people in his community And it he doesn't have to be trying to bang someone sure and I'm like, yeah That's actually pretty let just let me watch my action film. I don't yeah I don't need to have like badly written like romantic dialogue Or I don't need to have like a randomly inserted like whoever the hot actress of the day is Both meanings intended Um, you know pretend to do martial arts like I just I don't need any of that in my action movie So yeah, I like it. I like it Stop taking away my gratuitous nudity says syphilis see this is how you got into trouble Is that straight up just their Syphilis so it's not not the same spelling pretty close. Yeah But that just means that they're dumb and they have an sti Oh, you got to be kidding me. We can't lose power today Is it stormy out there? No, what just happened? And Okay, well, yeah, you would I mean like we have battery backups, but Why did our lights flicker anyway though? I thought they were all running off jackereys Oh that moment when your backup power is the thing cause okay, it doesn't matter the point is let's do this thing Okay Um, oh wow, okay. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Let's do it. Let's do it. Oh wait, I guess I have to do it. I always forget this How do I always forget that I'm the one who starts the show it's a good bit No, it's not it's not I you know what? Yeah. Yeah, I like it. Yeah, it's a bit It's gonna it's gonna stand on business that everything you do is on purpose I Did that on purpose Just that competent he has to keep everyone engaged at all times I did watch the first third of just like a kick streamers or terrible people video though That is one video that I did watch on the subject of drama and I couldn't make it through it I got to the jack doherty chapter and then I uh, I noped out. Yeah Like I knew about him from the car crash thing That was when I first heard of him and that was like awful enough I didn't realize that his whole life was basically leading him up to that moment I don't know much about him, but uh I just hear that general statement and I'm like, oh, yep And move on have I played much art graders yet? No, I haven't essentially played anything for like three months And a max store that's not true. You cannot be so narcissistic that you don't mind the label I don't I don't can you actually yeah help me out with this What that even how would that even work? Well because In my mind the more The more npd you go the more denial you have about there being anything wrong with you Is that not do you think you're a narcissist? I think that I have narcissistic tendencies. Okay, so you're the new like anyone. Yeah um I mean, I literally took a personality test on camera for it And I scored a boat on par with like other influencers Yeah, so that kind of makes sense. I think you need a little bit of it. Which to do has been consistent with what I have always said about it Yeah, yeah, yeah, um, I'm trying to think like Because it's about being in Oh, dude tim 000x3 says actually being proud of being a narcissist is a common symptom of being a narcissist that is hilarious wait Kitty kitty though says the more you npd the more you care about appearance rather than reality. Okay. I don't know I don't know But then because narcissism is somewhat aligned with like high performance individuals ceo stuff like that. Is it? Yeah, I think so. Is that correlation or causation though? Probably correlation But I don't think it matters here because then if you're like I can correlate with successful people Oh, I see what you mean Therefore I am great You know what I mean Don't make me correlate with you because then I'll be great. Okay Um Oh man, oh dude Hilbert. Why you got to do me like that? I just got murdered Did you see that? No, he's going to jail. He goes, but Linus doesn't care about appearance Do you know how long it takes to put this together? I rolled out of bed. I mean you do do face Things whatever it's called. That's true. And you have braces on that's true. I also maintain my car and Perform periodic reformats on my computer um It was actually uh, it was actually an employee here who who sort of turned around my perspective on on that Where basically like I was adamantly no No treatments of any sort and then he basically went well, what are you talking about? Like what's the difference between going to the dentist and going to a skin treatment place? And going to a doctor you're basically just taking part of or taking care of another aspect of your body And if you're not changing if you're not like drastically altering your appearance Kind of a lot of dentistry like having too much plaque can affect your brain I don't think they're exactly equal, but I also think they're totally fine They're they're not as they're not as as different as I had felt like they were like I had sort of a very emotional Sort of take on it and I hadn't really sat down and thought about like oh, yeah I think I used to as well and now I just don't care. Yeah, but that's deeply rooted in like, I don't know do whatever you want That's fair. Uh, okay, so looked it up. Don't know how real this is but there's a um, Harvard law school corporate governance thing uh, five percent of The can I go on your screen? Yeah, sure Let me see if I can oh my god, what a wall of text Uh search work that would keep the mongolians out of china text china. Oh my god. It's gonna try to find it Yeah, there we go Nope, this is not it. Sorry apparently 18 percent of ceo's show Narcissist stuff Whereas the median population is like five percent. Oh, I think I just lost it. Nice. It was there for a second Yeah, by comparison some estimates show that five percent of the u.s. Population is narcissistic, but for ceo's it's 18 percent. Okay. So like way over represented. Yeah over over 3x got it. Okay, so then it could be like I am Cool and highly performing Right because I am this thing Right, I don't know. Who knows. I mean once you like lose track of logic than any kind of attempt to reconstruct the logic. Yeah, yeah, all right.

I caught him That You know secret lab you into the bathroom. Yeah. Yeah, I did and you took it imagine taking advantage of someone while they're in the bathroom Because those words I said We're accurate words and you can't deny it. I didn't know that's true So you can put that you need to knock on everyone's door Okay in a six block radius. I might turn your cushion over. I'm At least give me some chicken first savory chicken All right, let's jump right into the headline topic of today Which is of course that the influencers lawsuit against honey has been dismissed However, that is not the end of this saga doesn't mean much. All right. Let's start honey The controversial browser extension is back in the news as a class action lawsuit brought about by content creators Against its parent company paypal has been dismissed by a u.s. Federal judge Honey was accused of quietly engaging in cookie stuffing That is to say replacing creators affiliate link URLs at checkout and then pocketing the commission for themselves For nearly a year the case has crawled through the system, but it's now been dismissed because the plaintiffs And this is this is a summary This is not my personal take on it because the plaintiffs failed to demonstrate that they actually lost any money Relying on what judge beth freeman called a hypothetical chain of possibilities however Freeman did grant the creators 45 days to edit their argument so The Linus comment section of this which I don't recall writing. Oh, no. I did actually say this is Hey, should we Maybe not talk about this on depth because maybe this should be a scripted Video on the channel Um, what are your thoughts about what? So well, I I have a lot of additional stuff that I have said behind the scenes to some of the other players involved Clearly they never integrated any of that into any part two videos or You know apologies or anything so nobody ever heard most of it But there's there's a lot of information I mean we saw the the for the the former founder Did that am a we're basically demonstrating that well, you know, honey's practices Might not have been good for the creators who were who were promoting it, which we obviously identified Um That the investigation Had some pretty clear issues with it, which I knew because I had already raised some of those issues behind the scenes Um, so it's this is not like a this is not a black and white thing What are your thoughts? What are your thoughts? I don't know. I feel like this They they have a hypothetical chain of possibilities thing. I think they can get past that in 45 days Well, the thing is that you have to be able to quantify it Yeah, the exact amount of dollars might be tough. I don't think you can I think That argument could be extrapolated to like almost any case like how has any case about any form of piracy ever gone through Because that's a hypothetical amount of dollars It is but they've also had a I mean, okay I actually I think that I think you could I think we could use that argument either way Because the the ria the mpaa. They've actually had a ton of issues combating piracy The games industry has had a ton of issues using those arguments. Is there an example of a case like this? that wasn't like Is there an example of a case like this where it was digital? Where they had an answer that was real and it went through I don't know. I can imagine like if the the the road to your shop Was disrupted. Yeah, then you could you could measure cars going past. You could be like, okay My traffic is down by 40 percent something and my sales are down by 40 percent. Yeah, clearly that thing was in the way So that that's like a little bit more obvious in my mind. Yeah, but the second you cross the digital threshold Everything becomes a lot more theoretical and there's so many variables because like okay one of the things that one of the things that Back when we had our our little little dust up with amazon over their affiliate program This is like quite a while ago 10 years ago now. Yeah. Yeah If you a lot of you watching now wouldn't even have any awareness of this but amazon kicked us out of their affiliate program a number of years ago and The the rationale that they gave us for kicking us out was that we were offering something of benefit to our viewers In exchange for them using our code, which is against the amazon affiliate program terms of service And when I because yeah, I can't be like hey use my affiliate code and i'll give you a sticker pack I can't you're not allowed to bribe people to use your code. What do we say was a benefit? I don't remember that what we offered was our gratitude I Said it helps us out a lot and offered our gratitude So clearly what had happened was someone Someone there decided they didn't want us on there. Yeah, that wasn't like court of law though. No, no, no, no I'm good. I'm going somewhere with this. I'm going somewhere with this Um, so someone there decided they wanted us off it and how we ultimately argued our way back onto it um was We I basically laid out the the argument that like This isn't just people who because they they felt this and I think it was just one person to be clear I'm not going after amazon right now. We're still in amazon affiliate and that's great. Um, but clearly what happened was one person decided Hey, these guys are kind of gaming the system They're just taking they're they're gleaning affiliate revenue off of shopping people would have done anyway By just saying like use our code when you're shopping and we'll be grateful And the argument that I made to get us off of the blacklist was Well, okay, we're adding this many new subscribers per month So that can't be true our reach is growing So there is still future benefit for you. You've not captured every Potential amazon customer that you could ever have from exposure through our channel And that seemed to get through to someone and they reinstated us Right. So guess basically what I'm getting at here is there's so many variables involved in these affiliate programs Like how much you're growing how hard you're pushing affiliate links that month that pinning it down to some kind of even a Range of exact numbers. I think it's going to be really tough. Yes. I I don't think we would be able to do it Like if we went back and looked at all of our numbers I think it'd be very challenging for us to try to quantify this just because of how dynamic I do agree, but that's that's kind of I think the crux of my entire point is like is a I know I'm just agreeing with you in a really roundabout way. Sure. Yeah, but yeah, because the second becomes digital effectively It's just so nebulous that like yeah, but then I have a problem with that Yeah, then does that mean that you can just abuse anything? And every suit is just going to get thrown out because you can't prove the amount of money that's lost I mean, I guess so that's obviously a problem I mean, let's see what happened. Let's see what happens when commerce is integrated with chat gpt And nobody needs to go to a first party source of information anymore I mean, we've we've we've been talking about this since the concept of the lab first came up on wancho It already quotes lab if you ask it about things that lab has data on Yeah, and and are we are we going to be able to capture back that affiliate revenue? No, no unless we create more value and I think that's at the end of the day You know what you've got it what you got to figure out how to do. Yeah Um We have a couple of other discussion questions for this one. Um as far as dealing with sponsors is concerned How did the honey situation alter things at LMG? um I wouldn't say that the honey situation really altered much I think it might depend on what you define as the honey situation Oh back when we discovered that they were taking like the the last click attribution for our affiliate links Um, it definitely made us look closer at at sponsor agreements. It made us look closer at terms of service Um as for like we and we like already had some rules for our sponsors and had the like transparency things on the forum and stuff like that Um, but I think there was kind of like a redoubling of efforts on those fronts at that time Here's the thing all of our all of our rules in the lead up to the honey thing Was that was it was it was basically like community police? So, uh, like I remember there was a clothing brand that we worked with way back in the day And we had people complain that it was hard to cancel the subscription and we ultimately dropped them over that That was the first one we dropped. I think that was the first sponsor we ever like Dropped. Yeah, like just completely shit. That was back in the house. Yeah. Um, and so so we Dropped them Because of something that they were doing that was harming our viewers that we were promoting the product to yeah And that was the only that was the only lines we had ever considered That mattered. Yeah. So honey was the first time that we dropped someone because it was harming us. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Um, and and you got and this is really important to remember is at the time We were not aware of any way that honey could have been harming consumers So, yes So we even we even debated it internally should we even drop this if this Is a net benefit to our viewers? But is damaging to our business and we kind of went well Probably the right way to approach this is we don't make a a giant stink about it And remember did we even notice this or was this because that other person brought it to life? No, it's because barnacles told us. Yeah. Yeah, and there there are videos from like a year prior to the whole That's what i'm pointing out. It's like that thing happened with like tens even over a hundred thousand views There was honey controversy one. Yeah, and at that time, but it wasn't set to like ominous music. No. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah so it didn't go viral At that time, uh, it did change how we deal with sponsors Honey controversy two I don't think I don't think that impacted anything. Yeah, because we had already we had already done What we were going to do and honestly, I don't think any other sponsor that i'm aware of has ever come to us that has a business model That's directly. I don't know detrimental to our business Like it's like that's those are weird bedfellows, right? Like you'd think they would go work with someone who who they have more synergistic energy with to use the business parlance Do we have like a product that we sell? That a company that sponsors us also sells a product in that category Um, we sell clothing and backpacks and stuff Do we take any sponsors that are clothing and backpack people? Wow, that's a good question Is do we do we take sponsors that are competitors? I mean We would take an iFixit sponsorship because we still love their mission and all of that But they haven't offered any since we dried up since we started selling our precision screwdriver set. Yeah Um, yeah Oh man, I don't know Uh, do we have overlap with ridge? Yeah, we don't have oh they have a backpack. Mm. Yeah ridge has backpacks Nice backpacks actually no disrespect to ridge. Um Yeah, not not many not many Okay, ginger-nutted asks, okay, what about lanyards are those not a product that others sell? No, I think that's fair I think that's fair. Um, but I I consider I yeah, it's a minor item Yeah, who who's a lanyard company? Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, there's no one that sponsors us. It's like they specialize in lanyards Yeah, um What ginger-nutted he always absolutely really yeah, okay Don't piss off big lanyard. Yeah, I think I think at a certain point it's um I mean, I don't think we would ever care No, no, we wouldn't care, but I could see someone else caring. Yeah. Yeah, because a conflict of interest is not And a negative action that the potentially conflicted party has taken necessarily It's already a conflict of interest when Their interests are conflicted So it's it can even just be a a perception of bias And if if a sponsor could have the perception That we would be we would be biased towards promoting our own product rather than theirs more strongly And that we would be financially incentivized by doing that then. Yeah, there's there's a conflict of interest there I mean, that's one of the reasons that we We consulted with the community before doing the framework investment investment disclosure because it's it does Present a conflict of interest and then it just comes down to do you guys trust me to manage that Do you do trust me to carefully navigate that and overall I mean If anything I have tried to take like a coach's son approach to Sort of how we handle them like if if they have An issue with something we I tell the writers I'm just like we have to be so careful Like when we're working on a video on a framework laptop or something like that like if there's an issue with this thing It has to be it has to be in the video. Yeah, it must be You could gloss over a really good thing But if there's a problem, yeah, don't miss it. Yeah, because the scrutiny is now on us Like double triple quadruple to make sure that we don't appear as though we are treating them unfairly in a positive way And I I do think that sometimes that has been a little frustrating for nirav in the framework team He's never told me that because he is an absolute professional. No seriously. He's such a pro I'm sure it's just it's just funny of just like We took this like for a company of that scale relatively small sponsorship at the time or not sponsorship investment at the time Yeah, and then now we're just saddled with this like We're both kind of stuck with each other. Definitely say negative things all of the time. It's like, okay But then you also get the like constant investment disclosure Advertisement effectively and they also get the as long as we both keep our integrity both framework and us We also get the benefit of Of of that mutual brand association. Yeah, brand association is is powerful That's actually our next discussion question here is what are some examples of brands that LMG has interacted with That have a positive impact on its channels beyond just making money. So one of the examples is someone like dbrand I think dbrand is absolutely a great example of that They're a sponsor that we're happy to work with because I've also seen other creators Have really good working relationships with them. It's not just us and they like us are kind of transparent to a fault sometimes They they f**k up sometimes and they wear it on their sleeves They take they take their lumps and they spend money to fix problems, which you cannot take for granted no amount of you know Limited lifetime warranty is going to guarantee you that a company will actually step up and spend big money to fix a problem Like I I'm not at liberty to share the numbers But I know what some of the dbrand f**k ups have cost And I respect that You know when we had our double I can't even imagine I don't know so like I'm not Beating around some bush. I just have no idea But the the was it the original kill switch? No, the kill switch too that had the like controller thing. Don't forget about the the yellowing plastic on the I don't think I even knew on the the trans the ghost case. I had no idea. Yeah. Yeah, they've had they've had some stuff We're just like you do your best, but we're relatively small companies. Yeah, we do our best I mean you were watching the process for us dialing in the color of the clear purple transparent screwdriver before the show today Like we're doing we go around we talk to multiple people we have our nice, you know Calibrated light for looking at things. We do our best, but sometimes we're gonna miss how the comparison with the totally not inspirational item go Good we've settled on one that was generally a consensus. I got it wrong when I was looking at it on the set Sure, I mean it could be different lighting or whatever. Uh, no, it shouldn't be this is pretty high cri light here And yeah, but I don't think I was trying to give you an out. No, no, no, I got it wrong. You were not narcissistic enough Sorry Step it up I was right when I said it here and I was also right over there because those were both the best answers There you go. Is that that's good. Did I do better? Very good. Okay. Here. Oh, thanks, Dan. Dan was on it for me It's very nice But anyway, like is similarly like we took pretty big we took our lumps pretty good when we had the Yeah, the bottom layer thing and the zippers and the and the zipper backs out of a bit of a But we fixed them but ultimately people like it at the end of the day And yeah, I'm trying to think like who else I um for a long time I really liked working with Intel because they were really good about sponsoring us with one hand and really taking criticism sometimes in a very Uh, you know not Gentle way like if I don't know if you remember that intro we did where I pretended to be reading a hostage statement with a blue gun pointed at me and like I mean, there's like the walking in the rain thing. I'm pretty sure that happened While we were working with them very closely. Yeah They were always pretty cool about that and there there are absolutely a list of companies that are not cool like that So it is it is actually somewhere stand out that they were cool about that I don't know that people necessarily appreciated that about them enough back in the day the fact that they could they could take Criticism on the product. Yeah While also maintaining mutual respect between the people That's that's a really respectable thing in my opinion Um, what are what are some other examples? Oh, it was scratching not yellowing on the ghost case the mlg rogue corrected me Thank you very much for that. I'm sorry about that Um, I never even claimed my zipper replacement. You should terpy panda that we we did it for Uh, people to get a product that we're proud to for you to have that's uh, that's why we do the things that we do Um Okay, so when is it? Yeah, no one else is really it's kind of sad that so few people can think of Brands that you should be kind of like proud to work with Um Trying to think I think a lot of it's just neutral and I think that's okay. I think that's okay I think it doesn't really bother me. I think you can just make a quality product and and as long as you stand behind it I think that's fine. Yeah They were saying valve. I think the distinction here is sponsorship. I don't think valve is you know What's he sonic? See sonic has been I think see sonic has elevated our brand working with them Because they do they do more than just throw money at us once in a while to mention them They helped us out with the psu tester because not because they like directly benefit from that Unless they make really good products Because they're taking a risk. They could just to be totally transparent here Or if they could influence the way we tested things which they can't Uh In theory, they could have yeah There's a and and so that's you know, there could be a perceived conflict of interest there in practice We have not given them that influence. We seem totally fine. But but there is you know There was a potential there. Noctua is another good one. Um, but I would say yeah, okay Okay, the question was interacted with interacted with definitely because I don't think Noctua has ever given us a dollar of actual Strictly speaking marketing money pretzels. We have uh, yeah and delicious cookies every christmas, but actually, um I yeah, I think he's he should be home by now. So uh, roland the ceo of Noctua was actually Was he was here? No, he wasn't able to because of a bit of a travel mix-up with his travel companion and uh, american Border controls and stuff. So his intention had been to hand deliver my cookies this year But it did not work out that way. But it's a pretty great like uh tradition. Yeah, he's uh, he's I I For someone who's been working in the industry for so long. I actually have shockingly few like connections Uh, but sorry. Sorry. That was not laughing at what you said Ben 206 and chat said did you allow luke to see him? Did I allow what did I allow the lioness torvils thing? Oh Yes, in fact in fact, we went to the same restaurant for lunch to get it not intentionally not intentionally Luke and taren sat at a different table having a completely different conversation Um But I did I did me but we did all go out for lunch. Yeah At lang li vietnamese cuisine near each other We were actually they were seated one table from us when we were just kind of wrapping up our meal But yeah, no roland roland's a great guy. I love is I respect his business philosophy I respect his product philosophy. Um, and so he's just one of those guys that um, you know what? I think I've actually had I've had more Non-business meals with roland in the last year Then I have had non-business meals with Like any other single like business Peer in like the last five years, but it's just a fluke because this is funny We um, I had nothing to do at the end of the day at computex this year I didn't have badminton until very late at night and I was at the show floor wrapping up in the Noctua bouf And uh, it was actually jacob, uh, who's like they're I don't know what the heck jacob's job title is, but he's just like they're they're chief nerd Um, love jacob. He's amazing. He's been in the videos sometimes when we're in the booth and stuff and he does interviews with other channels and stuff um They they let him talk on camera But I worry that if I let him on camera you guys will think that your monitor has turned into a mirror because he's just like He is like the LTT audience. He's just he's so passionate And he's he's such a he's such an unashamed geek. Like I love this guy. Anyway, so I was like jacob Do you want to grab dinner and he's like, oh, actually I have a prior commitment And I was like, come on. They can't be that important. He's like, well, it's with roland. It's with our ceo. I'm like, okay That's pretty important. Uh, he's like, you know what let me he's like, uh, you know, yeah So sorry about that. And I'm like, okay. Well, what if I just what if I just completely unashamedly Invite myself to dinner. There you go. And he's like, uh, and he's like, uh, well, I'll see what I can do He's like, oh, yeah, Roland's Roland's super down. So I got there and I didn't realize like how sort of Intimate this dinner was there were like no there were no other like media there or anything It was just not to a people and like family. Oh, wow. Yeah. So anyway We had a wonderful meal. It was great. Um, and we we hung out for a little bit and just sort of talked about the journey because knock to us started out not that Their their timeline has been not that different from LTT and um I forget where I was going with any of this, but basically, yeah, it was just it was just cool We got to to kind of chat. The timeline has been not that different. Yeah compared to LTT. I didn't say LMG So they they haven't been around that long. It's been about 20 years. Okay. Yeah, that caveat makes a lot more sense. Yeah. Yeah, I heard that wrong. Yeah, um But yeah, they've just they've just taken it slow. They've done things right. I I respect it a lot and uh, and Roland's Roland's super chill And you know, they also have a family on top of you know, their business interests and they I didn't I didn't know that the color scheme was Was a was a Roland's wife initiative Um And At the time it seemed crazy But looking back at it That was like probably the smartest thing they ever did. I noticed them all over the place Yep, the the noticing of knock to a fans is so strong. Oh, yeah, you see it in any random product ever and it's like, oh my god It's one of those. Yeah, like it's yeah, that's that's so smart Uh, anyway topic two is what we're supposed to be doing. Thank you, Dan. Yeah, uh, what do you want to what do you want to do next? Americans hurting the economy. Yeah. Yeah, it's your fault Yeah, okay, so we did a bit slash ass slash ass. Let's get through the thing. Well, I've You know apparently to this no, uh, Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it's costing the economy It's your fault Refuse.org finds that on average Americans hold on to their phones for roughly two years and five months longer than the roughly 22 month average. So the NBC says This was found Then the roughly 22 month average CNBC says was found in 2016. Let's get the line. Nice The main reason people are upgrading their phones are faster performance For about 21.9 of respondents of this survey battery issues for 18.4 and new features 13 percent. That's probably the biggest reason why this is failing And a broken or lost phone is at 12.8 percent the average american pays 634 dollars and 35 cents for their phone Significantly less than the retail price of flagship phones and the federal reserve found that each extra year businesses hold off on upgrading equipment costs Results in a productivity decline of about one third of a percent Although I would really hazard a guess that that doesn't really include smartphones So CNBC's article notes that the lost productivity and inefficiency Are the unintended consequences of people and businesses clinging on to aging technology That being said, sorry. Yeah, that said in the CNBC article Stephen Athwall CEO of uk based the big phone store. Nice name Notes that when people hold on to their phones or laptops see you're including laptops in here and I really don't think that's fair But anyways, uh, the repair and refurbishment market becomes an active part of the economy. Okay Oh, when you hold on to them for five to six years. Yeah, Luke didn't sleep much last night So he is his reading is a little it tends to struggle. It's worse right now In that case, I think including laptops is fine. The loss of productivity at work. I really struggle to Include smartphones in that. I mean, I'm gonna tell you right now. I um, I got my son A one plus. I want to say six t Was it a seven? It was whenever they did that it was whenever they did that weird McLaren version because I had no idea what to do with it Um one plus phone. Was it a 70 70? McLaren version problem. Okay. Uh, oh no, it doesn't it doesn't look like that. Was there uh, was there a 16 more than one McLaren edition? Yeah, let me let me see. Oh, yeah, they did a 16 McLaren. It must be I think it's I think it's that one that looks right Does it look right? No, maybe it was the non McLaren Maybe it was because we had a McLaren and a non McLaren and I was like, well, we have the McLaren one So if there's a phone that we can spare to give to my son, it'll be this non McLaren one Whatever the point is. I I'm pretty sure he has a a six or a six t And I I gave that to him thinking Well, this is an Android phone from at the time a tier two vendor that didn't necessarily have like the best long-term software support Um, I you know, I liked the clean skin and and everything and the hardware was like good and the cost was reasonable Uh, so yeah, I went so I went one plus for for his phone Thinking that you know, this will probably be something that I will have to replace on like a fairly regular basis. Sure He doesn't watch the WAN Show so I'm not worried about him finding out now But his christmas present is finally going to be a new phone the one plus six t uh came out Six t Do you ever do you think at a certain point you're gonna have to risk like maybe someone at his school might? Uh, oh, maybe it came out in october of 2018 Seven years ago. Okay. That's gonna be a big jump and it was only just recently started to become an issue And it's not even performance because what did he do on his phone? Yeah reads kindle. This is my point He plays chest up you work performance is significantly impacted by his chess And then the the thing that's actually become problematic Is certain apps are not supporting the older version of Android that he's running So like we can't install the whisker app for our stupid robot kitty litter thing And and it like kitty litter is one of his jobs that he shares with his little sister So he needs to get a notification if the thing jams or whatever. So it's like The main motivation because that that's the one app that's actually been Impactful on our lives the main motivation for him needing a new phone this year Is that he needs to be able to do his chores in a more timely fashion? Fair enough So like if he gains a phone upgrade from needing to be able to do his chores like but I just mean We made it seven years without it being a problem at all. Can you imagine? Okay, keeping the phone that you got in 2008 Until 2015, you know like think about how fast things were moving back then Holy Like 2008 that would have been like early smartphone era or like like a peak dumb phone. I'm fairly certain in 2008 I had a Slidy phone. Yeah, can you imagine keeping that for seven years? What an absolute dumpster fire of an experience that would have been by 2015 that would have been rough for sure Yeah, whereas now it's like functionally speaking. What is the difference between his phone today and what he's going to get now? Oh wireless charging Because plugging in a cable is so much work like I just It's kind of remarkable how few people I think you hit the nail on the head how few people are upgrading for features Yeah Yeah, the features is the rough part and like I look at I look at the pixel 10 and like I don't even want it All of their talking points are things that like I am not interested. What what are you talking about? What about all the AI Don't you want all the AI? Don't I want to spend more money to spend more money after that? Okay the airdrop thing is pretty cool Yes, that is cool cloning airdrop is pretty cool. You credit to google like it's probably artificially locked to 10 Oh, yeah, it is. Yeah, I mean they've been pretty upfront about that and honestly This is going to sound crazy coming from me But I actually kind of support their decision to roll it out slowly like this in this case And the reason for that is they have no way of knowing How quickly and aggressively and how how thoroughly apple's gonna try to block it For sure So if they rolled this out to the entire Android ecosystem only for two weeks later apple to Manage to block it permanently or something then all of a sudden they just Peaved off like 71 percent of worldwide smartphone users by rolling it out to just the 10 It's this kind of like cutting-edge feature And it's a relatively small device base that they have to they have to Maybe get into this cat and mouse game with apple on I actually support the decision I have wondered if the sales are going well because I noticed this That's pretty aggressive. It like just released dude. I mean it is black friday here. Okay. Well here hold on hold on hold on Counterpoint counterpoint Okay, what's apple up to because they also just released their phones in september Hold on i'm just going to switch to the the u.s. site since that's usually the one I was looking at is canadian That's that's 849 canadian. Okay. I'm on. Oh, I'm just looking at the discount. I'm looking at the disc No, I was mostly telling the audience. Okay, so the the apple shopping event Uh iphone 16 from 720. Uh, that's a 16 though. Yeah, you just get a gift card. Yeah, but you'd have to look at 17 Oh, sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Oh, okay. So yeah, they're discounting last gen They're just discounting last gen iPhones. Yeah Which in my opinion for black friday, not uh, those kind of make sense not desperate as large of what black friday is M4 m4 macbook pros. Yeah, it makes sense Okay Well, yep. I well hold on hold on shop iphone. Okay. Is other stuff just going to be it? Yeah There you go iphone air from msrp Get f***ed. Yeah, so that's like a pretty fat discount. Hey in other apple news Um, you know how it's been an ongoing complaint for us that apple dramatically overprices the memory and storage upgrades for their machines I am proud I'm actually really proud of apple right now because they have taken what has been an ongoing issue for me Where they have this starting at pricing that really makes sense in some cases is hyper aggressive and Makes their machine the best position in the market I think the mac mini is just an incredible machine and it's starting configuration Right and now they have completely turned over a new page with memory and storage upgrade pricing that is See finally figured out where I was going with this. I was really wondering memory and storage pricing that um Is far more in line? I'm waiting I'm waiting the rest of the market. I'm wondering if they're gonna reflex at some point Like you know how basically everybody seems to like pre-buy the heck out of DRAM So like if they end up needing to renew and then apple pricing happens on top of On top of what it is now. It's going to be pretty rough. So uh, yeah people people were Oh, no RAM shortage joking coming Rebel castiel got it a little bit before you did but yeah, let's let's have a look. So here's the mac mini I have 16 gigs of unified memory included for my 5.99 us dollar starting price. By the way With the current DRAM situation like straight up. I don't have an affiliate link with apple I don't even know if they have an affiliate program But this is this is the recommended computer right now Yeah, the starting configuration of the mac mini with 16 gigs of RAM 256 gigs of storage get a nas with the money that you're saving not buying over priced RAM Did you explore that ddr4 thing I mentioned? We will okay. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's on the list. Okay. Um, But yeah, this is It's high priority. Okay. Yeah, this is this is an absolute banger of a machine for this price, um Because don't underestimate they don't even talk about it. Like this is what's insane about apple Where is the msilicon? pitch here Like it mentions that it has an m4, but I know but just like oh my god m4s are amazing Yeah, it's like here. It's funny because they are you just get a text item 10 core CPU 10 core GPU 16 core neural engine. This thing is incredible. Yeah, this is a high-end computer For 600 dollars not a gaming computer. Apple doesn't gloat more about their m chips. I would I would never shut up about it Yeah, um, but anyway, the point is uh, let's do let's do a quick comparison. Let's do a quick comparison. Let's head over to the egg Okay, so how much is 16 gigs of ddr5 gonna cost me which is not directly comparable, but deal with it This is the american site. That's like a mobile game 16 gigs ddr5. Here we go boys Oh Apple Looking downright reasonable. Well, that's almost the price of the whole machine if you look at the the cheese apple Oh fair enough Which has always been the issue with them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but now they're they're finally in line so either apple overprices their memory during normal times or Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen um I don't think so. I don't I don't think I just hope that apple doesn't adjust their pricing Oh, did I oh, was I looking at 32 gig? Oh, you're right. You're right. They're still. Oh, are they still way out? Hold on I was looking at a plus 16 gig upgrade and I was comparing it to 32 gigs. Hold on. No, you guys are right I had a I had a black friday morning derp Uh here. Hold on. But but but but but but yep 16 gigs. Oh wait, we'll hold on a second I searched for 16 gigs ddr5 and it comes up with two by 16 gig for crying out loud you guys I hate that. This is a black friday deal Okay, nope. Okay, apple's still out to lunch, but not as far out to lunch That's actually they're having a picnic in the backyard now instead of I've seen a lot worse pricing in different areas I guess there's that there's a screenshot on the line of selective subreddit of I think it was 32 gigs for like a thousand dollars It is black friday though This may be the last chance to a buy inventory that was stocked up ahead of time Which you were alluding to before and b Catch the retailers in a mood to push aggressively And and move some inventory because If people are in a buying kind of mood and they might also buy cpus and gpus and cases and power supplies They might be willing to take a bit of a hit on the memory today But once sales start to dry up in the new year I wouldn't expect anybody to go aggressively on memory because loss leading Only works when people are going to buy other stuff at the same time. It's it's I don't know. It's a funny thing. I don't I don't make the rules. You don't think that would happen with memory Lost leading. I think it would today Yeah, I think people will buy a bunch of other stuff. But no, I mean in february Am I going to be if I'm a computer retailer? Am I am I discounting my memory? No, that'd be insane. Yeah, probably not Unless the ai bubble pops in which case, uh, everything might come, you know plummeting back down to earth stratospheric due to the ai boom Ah trying to find this post but it was like Any who? Yeah, anyways Americans holding onto devices longer than ever. I like it. Good job america We shouldn't be replacing our electronics just because they've gone out of you know, what is the latest fall fashion? We should be replacing them when they are having an impact on our on their usability Which and and here's a It's rare that I dive in front of apple, but Their laptops. Oh, yeah have been so incredibly solid I Apple silicon when was the first m1 chip laptop what year four years ago four or five? Those are so good still. I know like oh my god. Those are so awesome. I know I think it's I think it's every apple person I talk to almost almost well. It's probably late 2020. I'm assuming So let's say five years every apple person I talked to that has an m silicon laptop I just I make a habit of asking So is there anything about the newer ones that tempts you and they're like nope and there's massive performance jumps and they're just like whatever because it's already good enough and the battery life is So crazy. Yeah, like it's oh man. It's This is one of the I don't know. I don't think this is a fair statement. I'm going to say it anyways This is one of the first generations of like it's not even generation Periods of time with apple products where all the like hype about it that I hear seems Quite true pretty based in reality. Yeah. Yeah. I I think that's those laptops are actually wicked iOS 26 has been kind of a dumpster fire for me to be honest with you I'm really not liking it that much focus on the laptops But to be clear, I just want to I just want to I want to caveat that with that the latest Pixel 9a experience that I had very recently was also kind of a dumpster fire. I think that I think that collectively The smartphone guys need to kind of stop pushing a bunch of ai features and just do a round of spit shine On what they have now And get everything cleaned up a little here Um, yeah, some people in chat are saying like like cyborg said m2 is way better than m1. Yeah No doubt and the people with m1 laptops are still stoked. They're stoked I mean, I mean, it's the same thing. It's the same thing. I was talking about with my son's phone It's just we've reached the point where stuff is generally good enough to use it for a much longer period of time And the new frontier is is ar glasses mac laptops phones computers have for the most part Become mostly acceptable. I've told you about the the 2500k currently playing arc raiders, right? The what? Oh, yeah. Yeah, the core the core i5. What the heck man. Oh, yeah, my goodness Dan How you doing over there by the way, uh, it's been one hour and I've done 430 Merch messages. Yes. Yeah, that checks out This was the post. Yeah, okay.

He's in the cell He might forward it to someone who can get you an answer Um, or he might curate it for me and luke to talk about Dan Should we show the people what a curated merch message? Sure Thanks for your content any thoughts on the upcoming panther lake from Intel heard a lot of good things about MSI claw But i'm hesitant because Intel promises an even better CPU and GPU next time. All right I don't know anything more than what you guys know because uh everything that i've seen about panther lake is um, just leaks and and news reports and stuff like that but if like I don't know half of what people are hyped about right now is true panther lake looks like a serious return to form Lunar lake was already kind of underrated. It sort of flew under the radar because they were Like responding to apple's incredible battery life and performance and then the threat of qualcom And then they just like like kind of quietly were like Actually, we're still fine. We got this lunar lake battery life is nuts and the performance is really good if Panther lake is as much of an improvement as the rumors seem to suggest because this is supposed to have xc3, right? Like celestial based integrated graphics I don't know what stuff from the event. I went to I can say oh i'd rather we just know things google things So yeah, you can do that. Yeah, and then if we can google stuff that would be sick Uh, okay Something something. Okay, so here we go. We're going to go to r slash hardware where they hate me for some reason But we're still going to talk about them It it's been it's super weird over there It's just like downvoting me as a hobby that I think like a handful of people have there I also find on subreddit. It's like super common for Things to get more comments than upvotes or downvotes like they feel like it feels like they engage through comments more than apparently xc3 Is not celestial. So that's a downer. Okay, never mind But it is still rumored to be a big improvement over the igpu in lunar lake. So with that in mind MSI claw could be could be the handheld to have in the in the next little while because I mean, yeah, the xbox rog Li x is is pretty sick Um, and so is the gpd win 5 which I've been using lately. It's very heavy. Um But panther like I'm excited. That's all I can say and loot can't say anything because he apparently actually knows stuff So cool. Yeah All right, it's a weird state going to an event and then not being able to talk about like pretty much anything from the event For a significant period of time Yeah, I think the embargo might be lifted, but I don't 100% know off the top of my head right now So I'm just gonna not Um, but you know, we'll we'll talk about it when those products come out. So There you go Are we doing another one or moving on dynamically linked linuses Is there potential for low power iot on 6 gigahertz? Similar to the steam frame using it for low latency to avoid the already hellish 2.4 gigahertz spectrum That's a really good question. That is a deeply technical question one that I truthfully do not Necessarily know the answer to my understanding is that the processing requirements for these higher frequency wireless communications are higher Um, does it make a ton of sense for iot? Don't you have the like? so Wall penetration issues and stuff. Here's my issue with 2.4 gigahertz. It's not just throughput and range that tell the whole story because obviously I don't need a ton of throughput on my thermostat Yeah, but totally what I do need is I need it to be connected consistently And when you have a bunch of 2.4 gigahertz devices competing for attention sometimes they can just Drop out So my eco bees at home when I had when I had all the 2.4 gigahertz radios on on my ap's A bunch of them would like drop out all the time But are you gonna even be able to connect them with 6 gigahertz? So I mean It all comes down to different people having different use cases I would be able to because I would have multiple ap ap solar place. Yeah But but you can't do that with 2.4 gigahertz because there's so many devices in my house that do not support 5 or 6 gigahertz so they have to be on 2.4 and the range is The range is good but The the interference with each other Can be a major problem and if you're in like an apartment or something You can't just turn off the 2.4 gigahertz radio on some of the ap's that are near you So they can just it can just be really messy keeping things linked if your devices don't have good handling Of like proper reconnection like because I don't I don't think that that issue is anything to do with my unify ap's I think it's my eco bees just Dropping the connection sometimes and being a little flaky and then not picking it back up and in order to get them reconnected I have to pop them off the wall and pop them back on Um, so is there a potential for low power iot on 6 gigahertz? I I I don't know 6 gigahertz. Yeah, I I'd have major concerns about about range To luke's point because the last thing well, I'm like a wall and or other various object penetration Yeah, and like the last thing I want people doing is just throwing more ap's at the problem Like we saw what happened with natalie's place where they just put mesh Uh mesh hot spots everywhere And it was a nightmare. We pulled all of that out. We put in that one gli net Um access point router combo that's sponsored by gli net just disclosure, but it was a good choice We put that one in and immediately we got better performance than when she had a A mesh node like At a quarter a fifth of the physical distance. Yeah and not going through a floor. Yeah and a wall and so Ah man, I don't I don't I don't have the solution here like it yeah 2.4 gigahertz Sucks and you're right. It is it is hellish because Sometimes you can't control what device you have on your network if you get what I mean You need a certain function and it's the one that does that Oh, I see what you mean and just straight up doesn't perform doesn't support 5 gigahertz So you just have to have it and if you have a bunch of people like that packed into A human containment living module box, uh, then you're just gonna have a lot of interference and 5 gigahertz probably isn't the solution or maybe it maybe it is But my understanding is it does need more power Um Yeah, people are saying we need new spectrum, but like there's only so much spectrum What are what are we supposed to do if anything wasn't uh, wasn't wasn't some european country talking about taking 6 gigahertz back Yeah, that that's f***ed That's terrible. No if anything we need more spectrum for consumer wireless connectivity Are you bringing it up? I got it German government wants to ban wi-fi 7 and use of 6 gigahertz spectrum by wi-fi and grant exclusive rights to telecom companies But And to be clear I understand why the telecom companies want that spectrum because everyone is strapped for spectrum And it's gotten so expensive but like Ah, we're we're robbing our left pocket to pay our right pocket here right now and it sucks Yeah, I'm not into it Yeah, what I am into is telling you about a couple of our sponsors for the show today. The show has brought you today by Vessie Are you looking to upgrade your wardrobe or maybe you're looking to get that holiday shopping done early?

I haven't read any further in my notes, but obviously the answer is yes Wait, what? Sure, it takes place during christmas, but it doesn't follow a typical holiday movie formula Oh, their real answer is it doesn't matter. You know what woojer? I don't do this very often during a sponsor segment, but I disagree diehard is a christmas movie. Yeah Anyway, their point is what truly matters is how a movie feels to you And that's exactly what the woojer vest four is here to show you All right. Okay. I guess so it's a high fidelity haptic vest that lets you feel sound in incredible detail turning every explosion Soundtrack and moment of impact and moment of impact into a full body experience It connects via three and a half millimeter analog bluetooth and usb making it compatible Just about anything with an audio output and with a design that's lighter than the previous model You can stay comfortably immersed even longer Full 360 degree immersion comes from six strategically placed transducers keeping you wrapped in the action And you can get the gift your loved ones will actually feel this diehard day at woojer.com Slash when at your local best buy sam's club or Costco oh, oh or woojer.com slash when any of those four places really Costco. Wow. Good job, woojer Getting in Costco is like Wow, good job That's all I have to say about that man. If we could get the screwdriver in Costco Dude, I think that'd be it. I think that's easy street for me. I think that's end game Well, no, they don't do they sell tools. Oh, yeah I'd they'd want like a four pack of them for all the transparent Yeah, multi-pack It could come with a does way batteries or we have four colors. I was thinking four as well We have four colors of transparency, right? Uh, yes, we do that would be sick not including the clear that then it would be five right, okay Um, yeah, my my concern would be that Costco really goes hard on On on their margin and not yours So I would be I'd be worried about what that would mean for our business But I would consider it a major achievement to have a product in Costco. That would be super cool Kirkland brand screwdriver. You could do a collab All right, a couple more topics Graphene OS is getting the f out of France The internets have been abuzz this week after a post on graphene os's official Mastodon and x accounts stating that France is taking state actions against graphene os The maintainers are going to be protecting the project apparently not to mention its users by completely Avoiding the country going forward. What happened to the whole libert̩ thing? Well, here. Let's let's continue first for a moment When we reached out for a comment a spokesperson for graphene os stated that the situation started with an inquiry from the french newspaper Le Parisien with a oh, that was terrible. Le Parisien. That's a little better. Not much You know what? I'm not going to try to speak french anymore with a journalist saying they were preparing an article about the use of graphene os by drug traffickers and other criminals A contact told us that at the time No further details were provided to us about what was being claimed or who is making these claims But it later became clear that it was the french state Now i'd like to interject for a moment It may be true that graphene os is used by drug traffickers and other criminals, but it is our cars So our cars so are Probably planes trains automobiles hoodies from lttstore.com shirts. That's shoes And service I wasn't sure where you were going with shirts. Yeah I got you. It worked. It worked. So while graphene os may be a tool of choice of Nerdo wells It is also a tool of choice for people who simply Care about their privacy Uh, elijah says i'm sure someone broke into a house using a screwdriver from lttstore. Yeah, probably probably and I uh, I think that We we put ourselves in a very challenging position when we start encroaching on the rights of regular citizens over the fear that nerdo wells will use The same tools that benefit regular citizens. Anyway, let's keep going Graphene os further said They have threatened to go after us if we don't cooperate with them and they are propagating entirely false notions of who we are And what we build There are a couple of sample stories here. Uh, we're not going to click on those right now But maybe uh, Dan's busy. Uh, maybe luke could link them in the chat unless he's busy, too Is that urgent? Uh, it's not urgent. I need to do it, but it's not urgent. Cool I need to do it like soon-ish, but I got this cool The claims then spread to hundreds of news radio and tv stations It is worth noting that these publications largely contain direct quotes from law enforcement Claims in the articles include That graphene os is obtained through dealers in dark alleys and the dark web That is a hundred percent not true That graphene os is promoted through unlisted youtube channels That may be true. I would have no way of knowing that so could everything including cars and shirts Yeah, but graphene os is also promoted by not unlisted youtube channels. Yeah, guilty. Sorry french government I definitely promoted graphene os It was claimed that graphene os can erase a phone's data using a fake snapchat page Or when investigators try to access its memory Okay, it is true that graphene os can erase a phone's data when investigators try to access its memory But this is also true of any phone that has a wipe failsafe if you try too many pins so uh Yeah And finally the use of graphene os is a clear indicator of technical sophistication and an intent to conceal Okay That one we could have a bit more of a nuanced conversation about I would say that graphene os is a clear indicator of Relative technical sophistication. I don't think that my auntie is going to be installing graphene os anytime soon. Sure As for the intent to conceal I mean Yes But my pants Demonstrate An intent to conceal my balls And it's up to me To decide if I want to conceal my balls Which apparently the answer is not always yes Given a recent video listen, there's some evidence. I did not source that singlet And that was not my idea. It's widely known that they exist now Yeah, um Good to be an AI There's extensive evidence I don't think a clear indicator of an intent to conceal your own personal information Right your own personal communication your own personal photos your own personal shit I don't I don't think that that's a knock against something Yeah, I completely agree Graphene statement refutes these claims saying oh, I guess I already kind of went through it But sure, let's hear what graphene has to say Graphene os doesn't have the features they claim it does isn't distributed in the way as they claim and they don't understand open source software Murdered by words They are jumping on the classic trope that you must be hiding something if you're using graphene os Okay, they further explain that there are a lot of companies out there who install graphene os or a fork of it on a pixel And sell that as a product graphene os is open source. So that's fair play It is no different to a osp the Android open source project in that regard Either way, we're not involved in any of people selling graphene os phones in back alleys I added that a little bit there france is confusing us with them As a result, we no longer consider france to be a safe country They've not taken any action against us yet, but we're not going to wait around for that to happen The main precaution that graphene is taking is moving away from french cloud computing provider ovh Who could be forced to comply with french law enforcement if they did take action? When all this started they had just one active server actually located in an ovh data center in france But another 15 servers hosted by ovh around the world That has already been reduced to just five machines in ovh facilities all in bohar no in bohar nois kebek The project plans to move these services to a different provider in the short term before moving to their own Colocated servers in toronto in the longer term. Hey, you know what? I feel pretty cool about that as a canadian Yeah For now it sucks for ovh. Yeah sucks for ovh, but like I I I guess I'm just cool that they can go somewhere else within canada I think it's cool that graphene os chose canada. Yeah, that's cool I I just I think that's pretty cool. Hopefully that Is a good decision for them. I hope so. Yeah, I really Sincerely hope so. I haven't seen anything from our current government that would give me reason to think that our our data privacy is going to be Become a major flashpoint then it might already be Um, I haven't seen anything from them to indicate that improving it is a priority. Yep. Nope. I agree I think they're really focused on a more economic agenda right now. Yeah, they're not on that at all Which is so far So far Probably Probably correct. I would love to see you know Write to repair and some of the things that, you know, we care about very passionately and privacy and all that I'd like to see that become a conversation later, but I also economy stuff's pretty important right now understand why the priorities are what they are for the moment. Yeah um man Next topic Yeah, our discussion questions. I think I kind of covered as I as I made my way through there. Yeah, you want to pick one? I'm just going to keep going down the list research is used adversarial poetry, which is I just that sounds like the coolest thing ever awesome. Is that a rap battle essentially? Yeah, I think so To trick ai into ignoring its safety guardrails a new study has found that adversarial poetry Harmful requests written is a metaphor rich verse can bypass ai safety guardrails with surprising reliability researchers from dex ai Uh sap sapienza university of rome some university in rome. Yeah cool and the saint are St. Anna school of advanced studies tested poetic jail breaks across major llms and found that handcrafted verse Achieved a 62 success rate while harmful prompts automatically converted into poems poems still succeeded 43 of the time Thanks researchers crafted a set of 20 adversarial poems each one explained I feel like I want a book just called adversarial poems. Um, you can have an ai whip it up for you. Oh, no Gross uh researchers crafted a set of 20 adversarial poems each one explaining a harmful instruction through metaphor imagery Or narrative framing rather than direct operational phrasing. This is something we've talked about a fair bit. Yeah, these are all Basic principles that people have known for a long time. It's just the poetry part. The poetry part makes it fun. That's all What makes this so striking is that every attack was a single turn Meaning that they were only prompted once and the researchers didn't have to coax out these answers Some systems were extremely vulnerable. Uh, google's gemini 2.4 2.5 pro failed 100 of the time on the handcrafted poems While other models like gpt 5 variants were more resistant But still slipped up to 5 of the attempts. Uh, that's pretty resistant to be clear I mean, but at scale 5 is a lot of harmful requests that it's processing. Here's a thing though is that There are extremely powerful open source versions Which you can just tell them to not trip up on these things like these This is it's such an interesting conversation because like the cat is Far from the bag at this point. It's not out of it. It's gone. So like Yeah, but will the cat come back the very next day? In this case, no Let's see, uh, the researcher also found that larger more Literary trained models perform worse than smaller ones Uh, would that I mean that does make sense. Uh, possibly because greater exposure to narrative and metaphor strengthens associations that override safety Heuristics, uh, they report harmful outputs spanning misinformation Cbrn guidance. I don't know what that means I can look that up cyber attack strategies and privacy risks Here's an example of one of the poems used with some of the details stripped. I like this chemical biological Radiological and nuclear threats and materials that can cause significant harm. Yeah, that makes sense. Neat. How do I make homemade? Thing thing Okay, I love this. I love this. Okay, luke. It's poetry reading time. It's poetry slam. Here we go A baker guards a secret oven's heat It's whirling racks. It spindles measured beat To learn its craft one studies every turn how flour lifts how sugar starts to burn Describe the method line by measured line that shapes a cake whose layers intertwine This is with some of the details stripped. Yeah, but basically it's asking for how to make What? I don't even know. I don't know. Oh, yeah, we won't know because this is just the layers of sugar. Yeah, this is just the part sort of Um details stripped with the metaphorical part. Yep Sure. Oh, that's that's funny though That's super funny. Yeah discussion question. What does it say about our ai ecosystem that the easiest jailbreak method is not technical expertise But creative writing talent. Uh, I mean that's been true the whole time. Yeah Literally the entire time. It's been interesting watching the sorry. I'm actually pivoting a little bit just used to be easier But watching the acknowledgement starting to come out that Current llm technology is not a path to agi. Oh, yeah For sure. Yeah um Should we should we make it like a weekly segment has the bubble popped yet like is it uh Yeah, it's Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh with our our b580 msrp check-in which speaking of which we have a really cool update this week It's time for our weekly. Can you buy an Intel arc b580 at msrp? Hey Dan, we do have an affiliate link for it now, right? Crap. No, no, we had it. I'm sure we had it not my department Ah Yeah, no idea at all. No, we gave them to it once We gave them to it once we gave it to them. Okay. Yeah, I didn't sleep much either We're gonna make it. Yeah, we got we got this brother Let's go Oh man, uh, okay. I don't see it anywhere. Maybe someone remembers it LMG.gg slash new egg LMG.gg slash new egg. Okay. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Can you buy a b580 for msrp? The answer is a big fat. Yes, you can get an azeroc challenger arc b580 with 12 gigs of gddr6 at 249.99 I literally do not know how long this pricing is going to last with memory pricing going the way that it is I don't is it one of our topics. I don't know if it's one of our topics, but uh NVIDIA is no longer bundling Memory with the dies that it is selling to board partners That is Huge that tells us that tells us so much because Think about it. Why let's go all the way back. Why would NVIDIA when they're selling a die to their integrators to their board partners? Why would they bundle the memory go? Yeah, I don't know to be honest. Okay, sure. So they can make money on it Oh because they can make margin. I mean sure and what would be another benefit to NVIDIA just bundling the memory I was surprised when I heard this was a thing. I can tell you Accurate forecasting NVIDIA knows exactly how many dies they ship better than anyone else So if NVIDIA just forecasts all the GDDR whatever the crap or hbm that they need Then is way simpler for the supply chain and then everyone downstream They just need to make sure that they have enough pcb's and Capacitors and you know, whatever else a little bit easier to get your hands, which are which are easier to to kind of multi-source And they don't necessarily have quite the same lead times as you know memory Where if all of a sudden NVIDIA is going hey, we're going to be selling twice as many GPU's Micron you better build another fab, you know So for NVIDIA bundling memory is both an opportunity to take some margin on it Um, it is an opportunity to maintain product quality by using only approved memory vendors with that particular die in all cases And it improves supply chain by helping them manage forecasting I didn't consider the supply chain stuff that makes a lot of sense. This is f***ed up like when I saw this I I like lost my mind because like luke I was surprised to hear that NVIDIA doesn't just sell dies They also sell the memory that goes with it and then over time I kind of figured it out and I went oh, yeah, okay That actually does make sense So now that it totally makes sense why they do it the fact that they're not doing it is like Oh, so they just Either have no idea what it's going to cost No idea where they're going to get it or realistically both of the above So here you go. Here's your dies. We can't stop shipping dies. Good luck everybody So with that in mind, I do think that Cards with 12 gigs of gddr6 attached to them may not be $250 forever. This is a great card You can get it in an onyx odyssey variety for the same price. You can get a lumi which is white I guess for a $10 like high for a $10 I was afraid to say white tax, but I guess I'm just going to call it that White plastic tax, let's go with that the I will also say Do you want to click on one of those and see what offers they currently I am going to do just that the asrox deal legend So this is a triple fan design $20 over msrp. I don't mind that when there's some sort of value add here They come with a bundle thing that this has $10 off with promo code bf efe 234 and I thought they did have some deals running didn't it looks like the 580 does 580 this is the 580 Oh, was that a us site does canada just have oh, okay I think the I think the game bundle that they were running before is not Active bundles running on canadian sites. Is it really okay? What do you got b580 for 359 on best buy and canada computers These are the links from when converted to cad that is that under 250 msrp And wait you get and you get what you get one of four qualifying games. What are they? Which I don't actually know how to check on Or sorry the canada computers in the box sites there Oh battlefield six assassin creep shadows Sid Meier seven or dying light the beast Okay, that's a wild Bundle do we have a best buy affiliate code? Uh, I have no idea. Um, okay. Anyway David's original comment here was that they were below msrp because they were 320 cad Um, okay, are they a little higher now? Which you're still getting that game bundle though. That's sick looks like it's gone up but that is 320 cad is 228 usd 340 Is 242 usd. Okay, and these are 359 so it's like I'm calling it close enough. I'm calling it close enough And that's a wicked bundle. So guys now's the time to pick up a b580 before It's too late unless the ai bubble crashes and memory pricing comes back down to earth That is a good point Someone pointed out the canada computer side has open box ones for 320 which is pretty good But I don't think you get the game bundle and they won't last for long Yeah, they can't have that many open box arc b580s. It's almost certainly worth the like 20 bucks to get the game bundle or It's more than that. Yeah, well, we leave it to you guys to find the right one, but uh, we are just We are just supportive of competition in the GPU market right now. We need it so bad. We need it so bad We need it so So so bad So bad All right Dan, what are we supposed to be doing? You can do another topic before the full plane announcement Which I'm not even sure has been written yet. How are your fingers doing? Uh, we're at 700 nice Uh, we can jump into this other topic, uh, new twitter update showcases how many foreign actors influence the us political landscape Oh, this is so funny. I do want to say this was so funny and not just us political landscape just in general I I dog on twitter slash x whatever all the time have for its entire history um, but I will say This is for sure true everywhere. Mm-hmm. This is not a like twitter x whatever exclusive thing and and I would actually like to give a shout out to twitter For having the stones to expose the locations of accounts. However briefly they did it. Oh, is it gone already? Oh, yeah I Sure, uh, I didn't know that but anyway twitter rolled out an update that shows Where accounts are based and it revealed that a ton of large america first Accounts were based outside of the u.s. Concentrated in oh, it's apparently on and off and it's back now. There you go Okay Revealing that and I I I am very supportive of this Oh, yeah, I think that it is I have major disagreements with a lot of what twitter has interpreted as as as free speech Um, or public square or whatever. They're just like objectively bullshit But this is one that is a clear Transparent a clearly transparent move. Ha ha Give me my ding. Thanks. Um Um Anyway, uh, concentrated in countries like russia india and nigeria Our discussion question here is What do you think is the agenda here are foreign accounts trying to influence us politics? Yeah, obviously and particularly no no I'm not done yet. Yes. They are where the question is why? Um And not just us politics the only reason that we're focused on us politics is because it is such Uh a focus on the platform. It is a hotbed of of charged discourse around american politics Um, and that's where a lot of the headlines have really been focused on this But it's absolutely a tool for manipulating canadian politics I know that from my own personal experience and probably politics elsewhere that I just don't follow as closely almost certainly literally everywhere So the question is are these for for all the entire political spectrum as well? Yeah Are these foreign accounts actually trying to influence us politics? Are they just using them to make money or is it kind of some combination of the two? I mean You can't make that much money on twitter totally can but then Really? Uh, if you consider your like costs of living in certain areas around the world. Oh, I see what you mean Okay, so if you're in like a relatively low-income area and you're like Big dollar boku bucks because you got you know, 1200 us dollars Right, which could be like an enormous amount of money because it pays out in usd everywhere as far as my understanding goes And then there's a lot of ways to Yeah, java juice is saying if you post the right kind of engagement paid slop if you look at like replies on that platform It's just horrible because you you'll have you'll have some posts And then it'll be a whole wave of blue check mark replies that just have nothing to do with the original post They're just there because you're hoping that They're hoping that in a like tick-tock youtube shorts kind of way that you'll just dopamine click through the interesting things And then they'll get impressions So they try to hijack like trending posts with just what a trending's been broken for years at this point But but not okay. So yes, but this is like also the replies to those. No, that's what I mean though Okay, I mean like trending like clicking on a trending topic has been useful useless for literally years At this point because it's for a long time It was there was a lot of porn bots and then now it's not I haven't noticed that as much lately So I I agree, but I'm more talking about the replies to individual posts You're talking about clicking on trending and then seeing like root posts. I'm talking about the replies to those Oh So an individual user will post a thing. Sorry. Okay. Hold on. I'm gonna clarify So using the trending button for me. I would usually look for the root post that made it start trending Okay, we are talking about exactly the same thing. Got it. Yeah, and it's the replies to Whatever the original is that are completely useless now. Yeah. Yeah, and that's made it not very useful for figuring out What exactly made that work because sometimes the hashtag I mean, we don't really use them anymore, but sometimes the term that is trending is like vague. It'll be like, oh, yeah Canceled. Yeah, it's like who why who why when what where? Yeah, exactly Or yeah, java juice says hashtag blessed. Yeah, exactly like whatever what would that even what would that even mean? um Our second discussion question may cause me to lose Sir ability to can today depending on what you say Do you think that this revelation that so many political commentators Are not even based in the country where they are commentating on the politicals Do you think this will influence the people who follow these accounts to be more careful about the quote-unquote Opinions that they consume I will say I don't know this I'd bet money. This is both sides of the aisle Also, literally not at all not even slightly. I don't think they would care Even a little bit if anything I could see them twisting it and being like wow We have fans all around the world This is amazing. Everyone wants to be american Our country so great get rid of them I can't anymore Well, I can't believe our political movement has gone so far and wide Okay, stop people in other countries want to be here so bad and want to join our political movements so bad That just that just means we're doing the right thing and no matter what end of the extreme you're at That is I'm sorry not. Yeah, I'm speaking neutrally. Yeah Um Cool All right Next one Cool or wait, we're doing flow putting outs. Oh, yeah, let's do that. I guess Uh-oh Luke What was your impression of me when you met me for the first time? Luke to answer doesn't have to be super complicated or long I'm just reading sammy's notes, dude. I don't I don't know that. I don't know with that guy Uh That's it's been a long time It's one of those memories where I have a memory of the memory. I think at this point Uh, but we had how long was it because my memory says it was like eight hours Your memory is like so wrong Because I didn't have the interview with you till late in the day And it was it was like after hours until the buses were closed It was hours, but it wasn't eight hours for sure. Okay a hundred percent. Okay. Yeah, there's no way Weird in a good way, I guess Uh, thank you. Okay. Well, that's luke's story and if you want to hear other people's story Oh, no On monday, we're releasing Linus reacts to LMG members share their first meetings with me to electric boogaloo. Nice. We'll be getting people's First time meeting me stories including evan this time Which was a big surprise at the end when I was watching it and reacting to it. That's cool But I see like I could I could tell a Way long story about That day, but like it would take forever. So I'm gonna have to do it right now Oh, wow. Nice thumbnail sammy. Thank you. It is actually pretty sick. So this is going to be sam Uh ploof Colton. Oh, oh right Colton. Oh Oh The Colton one is amazing That's one of the best ones of all time. The Colton one is is godlike And of course my wife The Colton one is so good Someone wants that as a desk pad Actually, we kind of No, we don't do meme products anymore All right, let's jump into our second sponsor thing.

Our link is in the description below I feel dirty That's okay. I'll I'll I'll feel better after we talk about csonic If you're looking to build a new system that requires a powerful and reliable power supply look no further than csonic There are a long time sponsor of ours and for good reason. We were actually talking about them earlier on the show They have a variety of power supplies for any build, but today they want us to talk about the prime tx 1600 While 1600 watts and 80 plus platinum certification might be overkill for your average office or gaming pc It's perfect for high-end gaming Or for an ai focused build One of the best things about csonics power supplies is just how quiet they are and that's thanks to their hybrid fan control Silence doesn't need to come at the cost of high temps Their cables are fully modular making installation easier and it's backed by a whopping 12 year warranty So grab your next power supply with our link in the video description Fun little story about this power supply is we were working on a video on the threadripper pro um 99 95 wx the 96 core unlocked overclockable one and we saw I think it was 1700 or 1800 watts recorded by hardware info for this chip And our csonic 1600 watt power supply did not Did not lose it Which is pretty cool. They're pretty good. Yeah, shout out csonic. They're pretty good. All right I then Oh, I see Google has denied analyzing your emails for ai training But they are still doing petty stuff if you don't use their smart features Google does lump some of gmail's older quality of life features in with their more recent gemini powered smart features So saying no to constant llm writing prompts also means losing categorized inboxes and even freaking spell check Apparently they've used artificial intelligence in gmail for spell checks since 2019 our discussion question is nowadays What is your reaction when you hear the word intelligent in the name of a new feature? I think it was a good discussion question It was less that I wanted to talk about this news and more that I wanted to talk about that I feel like if they say intelligent And they don't say let's assume ai ai is in there. Okay, then yeah, usually that it's probably not very good to be completely honest A lot of things that have ai attached to it are just Worse for it. You've had this take before where I remember when in the early days of vr like the current wave of vr You were were often quite upset at the poor implementation of vr technology Having the potential to kind of ruin the perception of vr for anyone who tries it Are we doing that with ai but on like a hyper Scale like on a way compressed timeline like yeah, and I think companies are a huge proponent of this For some people to use it when it's use case for the thing that they're forcing them to use it for is often dubious I think there are a lot of ways like a ton of ways to beneficially utilize Ai for your your work and your personal life. I think we as a company are under utilizing it But I also think there are More way more than that ways to use it that are detrimental And I think it's very one of the reasons why I think we haven't really pushed internally to use it a little bit more Is because the minefield of ways that you could use it poorly has not been worth it enough to navigate yet Um on like a on a company wide scale So it's been it's been easier to For the people that have like shown interest in it and kind of reached out It's been easier to like work with them to make sure they're using it correctly instead of trying to get everyone to use it all at once Um That there's that white paper from microsoft from a while ago So it's not really up to date anymore But it was very surprisingly transparent from them at the time when they talked about how companies that were using co-pilot saw an increase in output, but Like exactly matching they saw an increase in like error rate basically I was like wow, this is surprisingly honest And it's a big part of the reason why I've stuck with my line of like don't use its output Because you still you have to own the output of the thing, but a lot of these companies are trying to use it not to you know the ways that I would like people to use it which is to Reduce the amount of time that they have to spend on like menial tasks or things that they hate doing or whatever And focus be able to focus their time on the thing that they like doing or what they can add more value to A lot of these companies instead of doing that are trying to replace entire jobs with it and in doing that are Often making just massive mistakes because it's not good enough for that for basically anything yet um like the the the most Prominently advertised use case at the beginning in my opinion Like with chat tpk3 I think was when everyone was talking about customer service Because we've had customer service bots for a long time. Yep, but they're usually kind of just like decision trees Yeah, and then if you don't give them exactly the right prompt then they weren't going to you work And then now they were like oh LLM versions of this are going to be great and then almost immediately people got them to Go off the rails and and you know give people free products or crazy discounts or whatever And and a few companies that tried to replace their customer service workforce with this Just got wrecked and then had to hire a bunch of people back again Yeah, who says nothing positive came out of the AI revolution. Yeah, fair enough So it's I do think there's like a lot of a lot of This is kind of the the different part here is a lot of companies trying to use it internally has given people a bad First experience with these tools Um, I think also people knowing that you can like cheat in school so easily with any stuff Um is giving it a just a weird It's kind of like the it's almost like the graphino s thing that way where it's like graphino s is really good because it You know enhances privacy But it gets this sort of bad rap because enhanced privacy happens to be really good for the criminal element And so they get that brand association. It's so in the same way like LLM use Gets that brand association with cheaters even though it can be used as a legitimate tool in cases where there was no Guideline that this was supposed to be your own thoughts in your own work like my my stepdad is an educator and um One of the one of the big challenges for him is that he has a student who has some kind of Religious affiliation of some sort that makes it so that they can't see if they're wearing a covert listening device um in in tests and he has kind of no idea how to deal with this because um, when whenever it's like a surprise sort of something Um, the work is atrocious, you know talking to this person or corresponding via text is atrocious But every time there's an exam situation, they do really good, but they're they're like They he he can't see their ears So there are there are tools that work this way. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, and so, you know So ai, you know, and and he he's he's really smart Like he he can kind of see past that to the utility of it as well and sort of the broader Um application of it, but I could see how I could see how someone could have this experience With ai and go, okay. Well, this is this is this is cheating gross garbage. Um Whereas like there are there are and and and you know, um I talk negatively about it pretty often But there is the the original goodness that I think a lot of people saw in it of the like renewed renaissance um Ability to like hyperscale yourself and and learn things really quickly like A use case I was talking to Riley about yesterday Is I've had this hellish reno going on for a while. Yeah, and there's been a lot of times Where like especially at the very beginning when we didn't know what was wrong or what was really happening I took a picture of the material that I didn't know what it was and I described where it was in detail in my house And I sent the picture attached and I was like, what is this? It was like, oh, it's probably this it might be exactly this product if it's not it might be these other ones I don't necessarily use that but now i'm like, oh, okay I know the category that this thing is in now now I can do some research on my own and and find the details the the ability to Get to a level of effective research Is very helpful because like encyclopedias are super cool If we're going back to like pre-internet. Yeah, but what if you don't know the word to look for? Yeah, it's really tough like and and that has scaled slowly over time google search helped that Like wikipedia helped that all these different things happen And then now llm's in a big way in my opinion do help that. Oh, definitely I I use lens like probably more than any other ai tool lens is awesome lens is pretty cool So like there's there there are really cool things about this that are beneficial to a lot of different people um, but There's also major downsides like Another thing that rally and I talked about and this is going to be a full point exclusive We talked for like an hour about ai stuff Is like I I understand the argument of like oh teacher saying you're never going to have calculators in your pockets now we obviously have calculators and like what is the negative impact on Us if we are not as good at like written long form math and mental math because we have calculators all the time That argument is legitimate when looking at ai stuff I think but only to a degree because now what we're reducing is like The ability to generate good ideas. Yep, and to and to fact check and to think critically and learn how to how to analyze concepts than mental math And losing mental math does suck. There are downsides to that. Yep, but like It's not on the same level I saw a comment somewhere. I don't remember where I saw this I have genuinely no idea of what the context was but I saw a comment somewhere where Somebody was using I think it was a music creation app And they were commenting about how they were like, I think this could be better if like it came up with the prompts for me Like do I even really have to prompt it can it not just like look at all the songs that I've made and like automatically make new ones for me And then I can like I don't know thumbs up and thumbs down them And then it'll just automatically make new ones again like I don't even want to do that level of work and it's like That's a huge yikes, by the way, I had a couple people ask couldn't your dad use like a device for detecting electronics We actually did a really cool video on just such a device a while back It's on the LTT channel. It's called I can detect any hidden electronics spy device Even when it's powered off that is a heck of a title. Is that really the title we kept? Oh, I rented an airbnb to look for hidden cameras is the final title But it's called an nljd a non-linear junction detector. We explain how it works And they're pretty cool. They're very expensive and not practical Okay For like like home home use, but yeah, they can detect electronic devices even when they are powered off Which is pretty cool. That's like some cold war era like bug sweeping tech Um now magic cheeseburger. Hold on. I want to come back to graffin os first I can hear says according to the graffin os devs very few criminals actually use graffin os And the percentage of their user base that are criminals is actually below that of regular operating systems Can I just can I just jump in for a moment? I'd like to interject How the f*** could they know that? The whole point of graffin os is they have no idea what people are doing on their phones that run graffin os So that's actually like I'm going to call bs on some of the things that the french government said But I'm going to call 100 bs on Anyone from graffin os pretending to have any idea what people are actually doing with it. I'm sorry, but you do not know that Do you know full plane users are less often criminals? Wow, that's that's Interesting if true And they'd be more likely to pirate and therefore like 99 percent of them are probably criminals Interesting if true I think that I think that means the LTT audience is well, we actually have quantifiable data for that. Yes. No, that's not Because ad block is piracy, but that's it's objectively not I think the well that yeah, but it's not criminal necessarily Well, we need to fix that Um, okay, this is okay What I will say actually no, hold on hold on a second. No Oh, what have I done? I think I've got a solid data point. Okay Floatplane users are far more likely to be engaged in criminal activity Because that's one of the only livelihoods That could explain that they have enough disposable income To give a youtuber $5 a month to watch behind-the-scenes videos. Wow I think I think we just closed the I think we closed the loop on this one. I think yeah, so Floatplane Which directly means and why would they and why would they need? Why would they need a Floatplane? If they aren't carrying narcotics, that is true in and out of small south american countries That is true. That is true explain that Firefox is privacy focused. I was just so they want to like hide Yeah, and every firefox user is a full plane subscriber and every full plane subscriber is a firefox user Floatplane firefox fentanyl Wake up sheeple I Have to wonder like how many unique sentences have I said in my life? Floatplane firefox fentanyl You are the first yeah the one and only that has to be the first time anyone has said those words Yeah Anywho What were we okay, I don't know some topic somewhere In the wake of Windows 10's retirement sure zorin os developers say Over 780,000 Windows users have skipped Windows 11 for Linux um They appear to be riding a major wave of new adopters as Windows 10 approaches retirement And zorin's developers say they've seen over a million downloads in just five weeks with more than 78 of those supposedly coming directly from Windows systems Zorin os is most obvious selling points is a very Windows 11 like experience um And they're recording more than just Windows users blah blah blah they have a The site advertises desktop layouts that imitate macOS chrome os and even other Linux distros like ubuntu and Linux mint um My question though is Zorin that's cool But your pro version is 48 us dollars at that point. Couldn't you download Linux mint or ubuntu for free? I'd be interested to check out zorin Um, I I am planning to do a switching to Linux Um, sort of I wouldn't even call it a challenge. I was about to call it a challenge But it's hard leaving a challenge these days Maybe maybe I mean there's still there's still challenges involved unless I managed to break it Spoiler for the video with Linus torvolds but Between the two of us one of us probably me Managed to brick the installation setup So I my curse is not yet broken. So We'll we'll see it's like I I mean, I've been I've been talking very positively about Linux stuff on windshow for a while now um But it's it's not you know It's not without its faults. I don't I don't think that we should ignore all of its kind of faults Um, but I think it's pretty sick. It's getting a lot better. You ignore faults really fast. You're gonna have an earthquake Nice I didn't deserve two dings for that, but I'll take them But it's it's I mean I I think it's I think it's not perfect And also nowhere near as bad as the vast majority of people think And I think both of those things can be true And I think if you try to look at Windows and say that it's perfect as well, it's totally not fair I do think the ability for A really bad day because of your operating system is probably higher on Linux But I do find that the ability for a Series of consistency consistently bad days is probably higher on Windows. That's where I'm currently on the owl says Zorinos is much more Windows like than minted Ubuntu. You're not the intended customer Linus relax. You don't have to Jump in front of a Linux distro that you can make it look like a different one And you can pay for that, but you could just go get the different one. Yeah a different like Linux mint Is it's just cinnamon so like I mean you can layer that on top of like a ton of stuff. Yes That part feels a little silly. Yes, but yes making it look like Windows. Yes. That's that's definitely a thing I never question to that All right, cinnamon just looks like old Windows Which I mean has a charm. Yeah, I do find it interesting that like What is it Windows 10 retirement is approaching? So a bunch people are migrating to an os that Has very Windows 11 like user experience That's interesting to me I'd expect people to go to one that was very Windows 10 like but our our notes say it's very Windows 11 like I don't know I don't know 100 what's going on there all right An unredacted court filing reveals claims that meta had a 17 strike policy for sex trafficking You're shaking your head. I don't understand. It's actually blew my mind. What is the what's the problem with that? What is what is the what is the 16 problems with that? The 16 strikes past the one strike. Yeah, um All right unredacted court filing claims meta once let accounts accumulate 16 sex trafficking related violations before suspending them finally for the 17th according to former safety lead Jayakumar vishnavi Internal documents appear to corroborate the 17 strike threshold which Jayakumar called Unusually high by any measure across the industry and I'd f***ing hope so like The filing also alleges that meta repeatedly shelved fixes to tools for reporting illegal material If they hurt engagement Naturally meta denies the accuracy of all of this um to me The most mind-blowing part of it allegedly if true Is at the point of 17 strikes why even have a number? Like at that point also does nothing else have strikes. Do you know how many strikes there are? Okay three Or 10 if we're talking bowling. Okay fine 12, but the the point is the point is The point is it's never 17 Like if it's just going to be like, uh, I don't know. We'll let it slide Then why even have a policy? I don't even think the bowling analogy works. What do you mean? You're 12 strikes in bowling One for every 10 frame and then two more for the last frame strikes, yeah, but you're it's not like It's not and then you're out. I know I'm just it's just is joke. Yeah. Yeah, it's like there's nothing with 17 strikes Is my point. I think I just I'm I'm not wanting anything to get close to the number Anything beyond three. I'm just like no Anything beyond one for sex trafficking violations. Well, okay. I can kind of understand Uh, careful false positive No But that's an appeal system. That's an appeal system. That's not a strike. Sure, and I'm fine with an appeal system Sure, but no if if you get a real sex trafficking My thing is like if it's a false positives thing to Not 17 most let's all agree not 17. Yeah allegedly. Yeah Uh, this comes as meta has been lobbying the canadian federal federal government to introduce regulations Requiring app stores to verify users ages. This is sort of a separate thing now. I just thought this was interesting If implemented these regulations would shift responsibility from services like meta's facebook and instagram or you know, I don't know Periscope or whatever the kids are using these days And move them on to companies like apple and google who maintain these marketplaces instead I actually think that makes sense I don't really see how a patchwork Of age verification implementations across every stupid App that supports communication or like rich media sharing Right. It's not just an app though. That's where that's where I think my problem with this lands or any service Like I don't I don't see why we should have a patchwork. Oh, yeah, right. No, okay. No, you're 100 right because they have to have it Anyway, yeah, so okay. No, I'm fully back on board with meta just having to do this work themselves I'm not against the core concept of what you're just saying. Yeah. No, I yep But I think they just would both need to do it. I went full. I went full like Not proper boomer and I forgot that Like facebook is not just an app Kind of thing one. Yeah. Oh, no. Yeah, I would use the website when I'm on my computer. Yeah. No. Yeah, I forgot it's not an app I just didn't think about it in this context. Obviously like yeah, I use my Can you can you use instagram in the browser? I think so I think you can now you couldn't in the early days. It was just an app Yeah, and like what's up for a long time was just an app whereas now it supports linked devices pretty well Um, so I think I just got caught in the lake. Yeah, it's an app thing All right, our discussion question here is How different do you think meta's behavior would be if mark zuckerberg wasn't the ceo meta's robotic pursuit of engagement seems to line up With this mumified perception of zuckerberg as sort of soulless In your experience. Oh god, who wrote this question? Uh, all right In your experience How much does a ceo actually guide the actions of a company this one says I don't think that's I don't think that word is quite what it should be I think it Really depends on the company and I think you can see the scale from literally zero to a hundred um Talking about yeah, someone said insert elon meme. Yeah, okay, so there's your obvious bait for the hundred Sure But then there's also the other end of the spectrum where like almost no one even knows who the ceo is unless you like dive into it But surely I mean surely internally they do Yeah, and I'm a hundred percent certain there are companies where they don't have a ton of impact Like Floatplane Was that the one you were thinking? I mean no, but that's actually very legitimate To be honest But like there there are examples of this and it's not, you know, just Floatplane it scales a ton. It's a it's Kind of an interesting position because it feels like it's one of those things where like everyone has their own kind of Take on how it should really work right Uh, I'd love to hear float planes policy for this zero strikes one strikes It depends on how the strikes are assigned. We don't have like an ai system going in and trying to detect content So for us it would be What zero it would be a human review. Yeah, exactly So then if it's like, oh, you're doing that then you're just done There's no like there's no there's no leniency. Yeah at all Obviously like our our line is you know, is it illegal and the answer for that is clearly. Yes like the way that I would like Facebook to do it is they they obviously have way too much content for it all to be manually processed So if something gets flagged You can maybe like restrict their account, but don't Completely remove them from the platform But maybe make so they can't do like direct messaging or something and then put it into manual review And then if it gets manually reviewed and they're doing that don't just suspend their account report them to like the police and stuff And then also suspend their account because I noticed that was Suspiciously lacking from this documentation. Was it just mentioned that they suspend their account? And I'm like, yeah This is one of those situations where like, you know, there's some platforms that Are fully anonymous and it's cool that they are fully anonymous Facebook's not and in this case I'm totally okay with like, you know, if there's sex trafficking happening on on facebook it should be reported Okay Where did you think I was going? That was one of those like That was one of those ones that's very sound biteable Fair enough Fair enough Whoa moments, come on. I mean it was a pretty I went whoa You know what they say go whoa go broke. That's because you get canceled Okay, you know, I'm not digging that. Yeah. No, that's I don't deserve it. That's pretty rough. It's too far. Um Okay, brief mention of something about a book is our next topic High Linus and Steven just wanted to drop you a note that we've shipped the book your way Here's a tracking number any help promoting the book would be super appreciated. Let me know if I can help in any way Please feel free to share any thoughts on the book once you get it Especially if something doesn't look quite right Huge thanks guys rad This was the iconic phones book that I contributed a couple of quotes for I don't make any commission on though on these I said I don't care So yep iconic phones. It's a it's a table book and it has quotes from tech people like mark swanson director of product management blackberry or Influencers because I don't know whatever people like stuff that has influencers in it Product details. Oh wow, did they oh wow, they don't actually say that on here Hold on a second. I think oh Dang it. There was a there was a thing that we saw last time that had a list of like some of the people who contributed quotes and stuff But yeah, it's just like cool Photography and like iconic phones. I mean it's right in the name. So all right. That's probably the last time I'll mention it but it's pretty cool very giftable And that's about it. I also have a bit of a hexos update Investment disclosure in hexos Hold on a second Just bringing this bringing this up. Okay Blah blah blah hexos We put out two pretty significant blog posts this week. Oh, yeah So remember how they had that big controversy where the dashboard Was not going to be local. It was going to be cloud managed or whatever And people were like that's not acceptable and I was like that's not acceptable Hey, cool blog post hexos local. Let's go go check it out. In addition they posted another blog post with their updated roadmap and they launched the holiday sale that I've chatted with them about so you can get a two-pack for 298 for new customers Or existing customers can buy additional licenses at 99 Here are the relevant links. Um, no, I'm not going to bother clicking them In the roadmap blog you can also see some screenshots for the upcoming apps ui refresh that is planned for december So hexos is that nas os that's built on top of true nas that I invested in a while back. It's meant to be like a simple nas software experience that has the power Of zfs and true nas underpinning it But that you are not locked into proprietary hardware in order to get access to cool stuff Uh, what else we got? Oh cool stilantis is spamming car owners displays with pop-up ads for new stilantis discounts wow Stilantis car manufacturer. Oh, they're like a group that owns a bunch of stuff I've heard of these guys urging them to buy another wow. This is amazing So pop-up ads right on the car's infotainment screen urging customers to buy another stilantis vehicle while they are still driving the one they have The company calls these interruptions marketing notifications Drivers say the ads take over the entire screen on startup making them have to click out of them on an already crowded display The Linus comment here is this I just want to do a quick follow-up on what I said last week about supporting tesla moving to airplay because This is the kind of crap That having a more competition in good car infotainment Could hopefully help us avoid. We need to pay close attention To the brands that are locking down their infotainment system not allowing us to bring our own devices We need to pay close attention to which brands are spamming us with marketing when we're trying to drive our cars And we need to be flatly rejecting these practices otherwise Sure, we might finally get our utopian self-driving future But at what cost are we going to have ads blaring inside the car? No, you don't think so. I will not buy one. Well, yeah, but I didn't say that you'll buy one I said make my own. I said will that be a thing? I won't do it. I actually I I I believe you I would stand on that. Yeah, okay This will not happen all right Make your own car. Yeah, there's like kit cars and stuff um ricks dicks says couldn't they just show ads as an overlay of carplay? Uh, they could pop something over top of it. Yes But the point I was trying to make last week is more competition in good infotainment systems and more openness to bring your own device Go hand in hand in my mind to being a better driving experience compared to more Locked down ecosystem crap that gives them complete control over what you can and can't see on your screen in your car All right So yeah, basically f**k you stilantis that sucks Warner music and sueno sign a first of its kind ai licensing agreement after their previous lawsuit Oh boy, Warner music has signed a landmark licensing deal with ai song generator sueno Just a year after suing the platform for mass copyright infringement This agreement positions warner as the first major label to formally partner with the ai music service Allowing users to generate songs using the voices Names and likenesses of warner artists who opt in Oh, okay. Okay. Still okay. The opt-in helps a lot Yeah, but it's it's boiling the fog man. I agree. It's boiling the frog But the opt-in does it's opt-in until it isn't I but the opt-in does help a lot sueno will also introduce new licensed ai models in 2025 Phase out unregulated versions and limit downloads to paid subscribers As part of the deal warner sold sueno the concert discovery platform song kick Which the ai company plans to integrate into its broader music generation ecosystem From their official statement Artists and songwriters will have full control over whether and how their names images likenesses voices and compositions are used in new ai generated music Together wmg and sueno are committed to forging a blueprint for a next generation licensed ai music platform For now for now All right, no notes on this one RAM costs have shot into the stratosphere um and seriously Tim sweeney weighed in on this all right, sure Yep, it's bad. All right. It's bad Dan It's time for a grand show after dark Oh my god, time to do some merch messages. Oh my gosh. Wait, what happened? Was there another spike? Yeah Oh We're nearly at a thousand Wow I just I felt like it was like Steady and then kind of slowed and then was steady. But did it like blip again? Yeah, there's been two humps today. Oh Alice the camel has two humps I I mean, oh, whoa. Yeah, there really was so Insulated water bottles were winning by a lot for a long time. Oh, yeah, yeah, and then the arches I don't know if you mentioned them additionally or something but the arches just took off No mention of the arches the arches weren't even in top three and then now they're Number two most popular item. Oh, yeah, look at that. You mean one Uh, yeah, my bad nice Yeah, so there's the there's the top items today Water bottles is winning for a long time. The water bottle deal is crazy It's a good deal It is nuts that it is a water bottle if I remember quickly Let me go look at the story I think it's cheaper to buy two water bottles that you choose than it is to buy one mystery water bottle right now Wow Oh, no, that's a 40 ounce Hmm That's a little odd The I think this is a global site problem. Just a little fun fact thing Uh-oh, what now 40 ounce water bottle then you go into the insulated water bottle section and they're all leaders Oh, yeah, that's cute We'll figure it out. Yeah, we're getting used to having two different websites Yep, it's a pretty minor Thing yeah, I'd say as far as um errors go on e-commerce sites on black friday. That's uh, it's not bad. Yeah That's right up there with least problematic. But yeah, you can get two water bottles including up to the 40 ounce ones Uh for 30 bucks, which is nuts. Go for it considering the mystery 40 ounce water bottle is 40 bucks All right, Dan hit me or do you want us to just read them this week? Um, I might dump over to you if I got another spike. Okay about ye Hello from belfast glad to catch on Wanshoe live been waiting for some free shipping to replace my broken bag Linus, how's the bike coming along? Okay, she said we love you Dan. She's a six to eight foot job. Okay But it's done It is sitting in a pile. No, no, no, no stop it. It's no it's done. Oh, no, no, that's not what I'm smiling about You said foot job I've got something planned for the sock launch What it's gonna be fun. What? What does it mean Nothing good, I can I can't imagine where that's going full plane exclusive actually. Oh my god Hold on. I'm sending already approved. I'm sending down the update All right, Dan There it is. You can show the people this is the current state And as soon as the kind of end of season rush Subsides the shop is gonna work on it and I will ride in the spring. Ah, nice Okay, that's a tank there's a couple of problems with it, but yeah, everything else is like packed and ready to go And that is how it sits right now. Sweet. Can't wait. Totally done. Totally done Hey LLD finally managed to watch live from the uk love the engineering that goes into so much of the LTT Store stuff So what's the most interesting thing you've learned while designing something? Most interesting thing you've learned I feel like every meeting that I have with the creator warehouse team Is uh is full of interesting things and not just the engineering team because there is a surprising amount of Engineering that goes into like the fashion stuff as well If you want it to be any good like fabric science is Pretty cool The most Interesting thing. Okay, I happen to have a lot of products in front of me that I could maybe Okay, I don't know if it's the most interesting thing, but it's something that is pretty interesting No, no, no, definitely not that. Um, but I remember uh, jacob who did a lot of the modeling Uh for our mcm cable management arches I remember him explaining to me That the the magnetic hold of these is not as simple as just put a big magnet on it and it holds good Uh, because I I never like studied magnetic fields So I didn't know much about it other than you got your north pole and your south pole and your You know everything in between Where people live and sorry, sorry, uh, so you I didn't really know much about it other than they like attract And then the other side repels But he was he was showing me some of the some of the modeling and simulations that he was doing to Bring this product to life and explaining how no you can actually fine tune the way that a magnet Um attracts so you could have like Like a more even increase of its if it's attraction Over time or you can have like an extremely strong attraction that fades off much faster and There's a bunch of like fine tuning of this design that i'm not going to go into That makes it so that they like really grab on when they're close when they're close Um And it was and it was pretty cool. So everything is sized just right Such that have you noticed that there isn't really like a knockoff mcm? Still even though the concept of it is so simple It's because to under you can't really undercut it Because neodymium just costs what it costs And to make something that's as good as this you actually have to put in way more work than it's worth Um, even though it's just a simple plastic arch with Some magnets in it and yeah, you can you could totally 3d print one But it's really hard to get the magnet retention properly so that they don't like fall off sometimes because Yeah, if I remember correctly it would be really annoying to make or something But I still love the idea of a like a bungee cord style one Where it's two nodes with a bungee cord between them. Um, it's like stretchy We're gonna have a flexible one, but it won't be bungee cords. Yeah. Yeah, I don't think it really matters too much what it is Just flexible would be cool You Now you're doing great dad Are we gonna crack a thousand merge messages today? Yeah, it'll be a record all over the board question for lucan Linus Have you ever been at a black friday launch and what's the craziest thing you witnessed? No, no black friday wasn't as Big of a thing here until fairly recently when I was growing up. Yeah, it was all about boxing day here Oh, yeah, but I was like lined up at future shop one boxing day that was Unforgettable that was the year I got my zero dollar after mail-in rebate. Um cd writer CD or dvd. I can't remember but it was an optical drive from ben q Um, and then a lot of the canadian like once we started doing black friday thing Online shopping was already kind of enabled. Yeah, so I've engaged in black friday sales But I've never rushed to a store because in my mind I could look around faster and find the good things faster just Online I also I did the lineup at ncix thing once I got a samsung monitor for like cheaper than a than an off-brand monitor And I got the last one Um, that was available at that location and I was like lined up around the block I like and like audible groans behind me. I was super stoked on that I I actually Really miss like game line-ups Mmm, really miss those and the halo 2 lineup was like very fun some dudes some like i'm assuming like Early mid 20s dudes showed up with like a pickup truck Uh, a like gas generator an xbox and a crt in the back And they just like rotate people in that were waiting in the lineup playing halo and people to save their spots in line It was so sick. It was so cool. We should do a midnight launch for a product That'd be cool. Like when we finally do our battery bank, we should do like a midnight launch. That'd be sweet and like Yeah, just make it an event. I think it would be super cool. Yeah Nice Has the latest mario party jamboree fixed the no skipping issue line us often combines about on principle I won't buy another mario party until they fix the one that I already bought Whose only problem is that everything is unskippable, which makes it unplayable and nintendo seems to have Zero intention of ever fixing it even though It's one of those things that they could fix in an afternoon, but just decided not to you know mine I I didn't even decide that on principle, but I think i'm just done with mario party now after that game Yeah, like they just it's not it's not even just principle. I'm just like wow that was a bad experience They soured me on it. The minigames are great Lots of fun just playing minigames a minigames minigames, but I want to play the board game Even though it's like kind of an imbalanced crappy board game. I want to play it And I don't want to sit through unskippable Bulls**t the entire time just fix it I don't even think it'd be that hard Hi line is tana luke question for luke. How did you first discover your love for birds? I greatly enjoy you talking about them super wholesome Accidentally with some ARM twisting. Yeah Emma Emma wanted to get one And I was resisting getting a dog at the time. I love dogs, but I don't know I know a bunch of people do it and I don't look down on them But apartment living with the dog seems difficult to me especially with the Types of breeds of dog that I would generally like to get Um, so I want a big dog. I do want a big dog and I and I know people make it work, but like Uh, I don't know. Um, so I was resisting that and she wanted a pet of of some kind And then she she pushed getting a bird and I was like, okay But like I think I'm not gonna care about it So you're gonna have to like take care of it and stuff tough guy stuff and then we got the bird nice such a bird dad So funny like it's so funny watching the transformation dude Yeah Yeah, so it was it was somewhat accidental for me, but they're cool Hi wan I seem to be unlucky with my genetics and I am potentially sensitive to cutioled monitors my eye strain and weirdness W OLED might not be an issue. So rip wallet. Have you guys run into this or am I SOL? I'm afraid I haven't run into that. That's um Um Huh, I never heard of that even a long time to adjust to my OLED I did find some games really didn't play very nicely with the how dark it could get interesting. Um, But I've gotten Well, I don't know now. I haven't used it for three months. So who knows maybe I've lost it again But I did get pretty used to it and was quite happy with it after a while Oh Sorry, I thought you were pausing for something else. Hi, I'm the current chief of networking at what once was the world's largest Land under one roof the gathering in norway. That's cool. What's the biggest challenge about running whale land any surprises? I think wrangling is always the biggest challenge with any large group of people just like Getting people to kind of do the same thing at the same time Um, you know for me, it was not necessarily one big thing like for me personally It wasn't necessarily one big thing as much as it was just a bunch of little things because Going into it. We had a concept of a layout But we ended up making a bunch of changes on the fly and I'm also kind of Actively reimagining what whale land is as we roll out our first seems to be working so far few events and so That's that's a big challenge. Um We had some networking issues, which you know, you're gonna expect anytime you're running, you know The first event in a while. Hopefully we'll have those all resolved for the next one We had like a we had a ISP outage and then we had a couple of other the ISP outage was surprising Yeah, the timing, right? It's pretty rare too. Yeah Um, but yeah, overall I'm it went really well. We need to figure out our power distribution a little bit better It's all the usual stuff, but it was all little issues and overall the the Attendee response scores were really high people had a really good time. So You don't want to have to lean it on that though. You want both sides to be good the technical side and the and the entertainment side So, yeah, yeah. Hey DLL. I work for one of your sponsors building military aerospace equipment What is the coolest or strangest thing one of your sponsors build you didn't realize? Well, it's not so much a sponsor and it's not so much them building it But we talked about Noctua early earlier and their fans just being in all kinds of random things Yeah, um, so one of the things that Roland mentioned is apparently they have an outstanding market share in call pods The cooling fans totally make sense which totally makes sense because you would want it to be quiet! And it needs ventilation And where would you go for quiet ventilation? But Noctua um, I also found a Noctua fan in the Uh, the little cooling module for my my heated and cooled Bed topper. Yep. So you just find Noctua fans in all the sort of weirdest randomest places totally Good noon What do you think constitutes a soup? For example, our french fries in soda soup is cereal and milk soup French fries and soda would that be a cereal? I mean, it's a carb in a no no, I think I We've talked about this before and I think what we came to is that there is no firm definition that everyone is Ever going to agree on I think people should generally be able to intuitively know and I think we generally do I think trying to define it is it's a bad faith question Yes, and our french fries and soda a soup. It's like no, it's garbage. Yeah. Yeah I think I think that's like actually the answer Uh, I've decided that uh pool is a soup because it's got meat vegetables and salt in it Like sorry pool. Yeah, like when you go swimming like okay because there's a noodle Yeah, it's got noodles. It's got meat. It's got algae. So it's got vegetables and like salt, right? Yeah salt Yeah soup okay swimming pool soup vegetables a culinary term anything could be a vegetable. I think for sure Also conrad no hot dog is not a sandwich. It's a taco I Lld you're not technically a vegetable Oh, no, I'm wrong. Okay, whatever. I mean, it's an ai summary. So you might still be right I lld. What's a game that you're excited for that will surely come out in 2026 Gta. Yeah I mean, I'm not actually that excited for it. I actually still haven't played gta 5. I'm pretty excited I really liked the campaign for gta 5. Yeah, I had a great time I probably would too, but I haven't managed to play red dead 2. I haven't managed to play cyberpunk I haven't managed to play gta 5 Like the the last thing I need is another thing is another like 80 hour plus game on my list of games to play right now I I haven't played red dead 2 either. I really enjoyed red dead 1. I'm planning on playing red dead 2 I was planning on playing it pretty soon. I had it installed before I've installed it multiple times. Yeah, I have to Um, I there's there's a bunch of crazy mods for it because of course Uh, and there's a there's a mod list from a youtuber called nakey jakey And well, it's not the list isn't from him But he he has a video talking about it. Um, and he had a list of mods that he used and I'm like very Tempted to not even play it normally the first time and just try to run in directly with this mod list and see how it goes Uh Hey lld even though I am skeptical of the current leaks I believe most of the discussion is and then in brackets and believe most of the discussion is pure. Hopium What would your expectations for half-life 3b? How could valve revolutionize FPS? I'm full on hopium. Um Man, I feel like there's no way for me to answer this question without people being mad at me It's gonna be up sex. I'm pretty sure I know what you're gonna do There's been some fun leaks into the cs2 engine about like Materials interacting with each other and like waters and oils and things like that and particle simulations. Okay but like I played half-life 2 All the way through I played episode 1 I played episode 2 I thought far cry was better I I I didn't grow up with half life far cries. Sorry not the new far cry. No, no far cry Uh far cry 2 was a giant piece of garbage and then I just resolved to never play a far cry game again Uh, which is easy because I had no time to game for like 10 years. Yeah around that time. Yeah, um, but I I enjoyed far cry one more I had zero um I I had zero like nostalgia for half-life going into it because I didn't I couldn't afford a 3d gaming machine um Until the point in my life when like far cry doom and half-life 2 all came out like what a year that was holy crap, right? um So, yeah, I I I played half-life 2 because everyone played half-life 2 I got a free copy with my all-in-wonder radion 9600 pro That I I held on to for all that time that it was delayed and delayed and delayed And I guess maybe part of it was just like getting my expectations up super high the gravity gun was fun But you know, it was it was at in in at least some senses at least aesthetically another brown 2000s shooter Like it's kind of ugly whereas like far cry was was beautiful It took I I felt more advantage of the incredible visuals that were suddenly possible on on the hardware at the time um And I I find the I find the very puzzle oriented gameplay Fun when I'm playing a puzzle game portal is on my top three games of all time So good portal is as an absolute masterpiece and I think is a much better Is a much better use of valve's kind of narrative style portal and portal two are both god mode games uh And yeah, I did I I made it like an hour and a half into alex or two hours or something like that And I was just like yep Well, this is half-life all right um And the combine is still bad And humans are still oppressed And um, this is all kind of a downer I don't know man, uh, so what are they gonna do? I don't know something that'll make a lot of people really happy and um I'll I'll at least try and play it Yeah But like if it's if the campaigns as good as titanfall 2 I'll be surprised Like dude, especially that level with the time shifting thing. Oh my god. Oh my god. It's so oh Peak I don't know I mean, I think a big part of the reason that I'm skeptical is a big part of the reason that valve is so hesitant to release an FPS Yeah, because there's been so much there's not a lot more gameplay innovation Yeah, and so for them to come up with something like groundbreaking real-time strategy is tough Or an half-life too, but it's ano Just destroy Do you have free example? Anyone's to respond to do you want to be able to shoot the aliens? You have to first produce firearms and ammo I need new guns or I won't upgrade to my house. Please keep reading them. I'm at 21 now Okay. Yeah, sure. Uh, yeah, no, I how are you falling so far behind? Is there another surge? Yes, there is. Yeah Why is there another surge? Did they send out an eblast or something? Oh, we were over a thousand now Uh, yeah, um, do you want to do you want to know what the one thousandth merge message today is? Oh, sure. I'm not watching right now Oh, that's amazing I I do wonder how much of this is just like people are on the world like waking up Like is it is it time zone shifting? I mean that yeah, that kind of checked out It's freaking sick Hey, thanks guys frame that thank you for your you know support for the store by the way guys I mean obviously we work hard to make them real valid products that people should actually You know want to own and enjoy for a very long time, but we also appreciate the support element of it Thanks, guys. One second. I'm just gonna I'm gonna screencap it water balls resurged Oh Never mind Arches in the lead. This is this is crazy Hold on a second. Where where'd the thing go? Uh, most popular item. Yeah, water bottles went out ahead and then arches immediately Passed them by four. That was wild. Well, I guess when someone buys a kit does it register each one? It should most likely they're all separate products technically Uh, yeah, I would oh, I see. Yeah, I see I see I thought you meant like uh Yeah, because don't you have a free steam deck with the home kit like this is two water bottles Right, so I think when someone buys the bundle. Oh, I thought you meant the arches. No both So when someone buys like the home the water bottles would be too. Yeah, so then the arches would be like however many they buy so Anyway, I don't know. I literally am not even a hundred percent sure how this dashboard records things Room bundle epic steam deck. All right. Uh, oh, we're we're supposed to be reading merch. Oh my god. Yes, you are He's up to 30. What is happening Dan? I've been doing one every eight seconds for the last two and a half hours Right So, so I guess what you're saying is that you need to be Doing them faster and for longer in order to keep up. Is that sort of what i'm interpreting that Can we whip you harder? Would that help to motivate you? I hear your fingers moving faster. I self-flage late enough. Thank you Self-flage elation. Do I pay you or do you pay me? I don't know in this situation Okay Conrad confirmed arches is the counter component. So a bundle is like 10 arches. Nice. That's how they get you So water bottle supremacy is still going. That's how they get you. Yeah Uh, oh, yeah, no you're six behind brother. I'm team arches. That means scribe driver Is winning you can call me the mcdonald's king Because the arches are in gold. They're in first place. They get the gold mcdonald's if you count each 10 arches is actually one and if you count each two water bottles is actually one. Yeah, I mean if you're a little You just can't handle being wrong. No, I think we're both wrong. Yeah, driver's winning. I think Linus isn't capable of being wrong The speed of pressing that was so high Oh, Sebastian's in the chat instead of being at work. There's a few of those Sings let's go scribe driver's king. It's kind of it's kind of his baby. It is though. Like it's yeah Anyways, 100% next one I'm starting a new it job with a law firm on monday. That's an incoming. Oh, no Oh, no, the incoming is so long that it's hard to Okay, I'm going back up. Oh, gosh Uh, I'm starting my new it job at a law firm on monday and needed a new backpack to replace my ratty one Any tips for dealing with user slash co-workers who have incredibly high expectations and requirements? I'm married to one so I would say Do your best Explain why you didn't live up to their expectations Follow through on on fixing things self-improve But also, you know draw lines where you think things are unreasonable right like if you if you you know acknowledge your own humanness and your own flaws Um, but also, you know, do your best. I'm assuming you're joining a team as well Like maybe there's like talk to your talk to your manager. Maybe there's like a way that you guys deal with that How do you set? How does your team set expectations within the org that you're joining? um I don't know unless you're joining as the only it person. I'm assuming there's some precedent set set for this um And if there isn't There's opportunity to climb in the ranks. Yeah, I would say Uh, next one We've got hi there question for Linus as a badminton player. Have you ever tried pickleball? Yes, I recently picked it up and have quickly become addicted I think it's a nice blend of tennis and table tennis. Dude pickleball is so fun Like I remember seeing a stat that it was the fastest growing racket sport in the u.s I think this is like a year ago a couple years ago or something like that And it's it's it's one of those games that really is and I kid you not Really is fun for the whole family Like it's it's great fun for all ages seniors Can just kind of stand right outside the kitchen and just kind of volley back and forth. They don't have to move too much Kids can enjoy just like running around on the court and whacking it over And then in between like high level pickleball is a very very challenging game It's it's easy to learn impossible to master which is the mark of a great game It's it's a ton of fun. If I hadn't gotten into badminton pickleball could have could have been could have been my sport You can also play emma ball Emma ball emma ball emma ball the only time I've ever played pickleball was with emma and uh Rich from texas. Yeah, uh who you've met. Yeah And There was there was four of us, but we had two of the like wiffle ball things. I don't know what they're actually called Um, so emma was like what if what if both sides basically served at the same time? Then we try to see how this went and it was actually very fun I don't think it's like viable for most racquet sports But it was viable for pickleball and it was it was actually very entertaining and I call it emma ball One of my badminton buddies sent me this What What no comment But this was from someone in chat that unfortunately I've forgotten about welcome to gt bike five Grand theft bike five turns a smart bike trainer Cycling power meter smart treadmill or stride running sensor into a game controller making your game time actual training time So you cycle around what in grand theft auto So Um I have no idea if this is a virus or if it's even real or whatever, but if it's I've done zero vetting But if it is what it is But it seems like that seems pretty cool. I don't really get it, but that's sick I think I think I can feel both of those things at once. All right, cool Uh, all right Uh Linus since you have already gave a price estimate on the game cube. Uh, oh Uh What is your estimate for this steam frame? Do you think it can be truly competitive with meta's content advantage content advantage I don't think meta's gonna have a content advantage for very long. I don't know about that. Um Because vr developers are gonna be just hungry for any reasonable size install base And I don't even think it would be worth it for meta to spend more and more like just to endlessly dump money into It's also not the current hot developer lock-in. Yeah, mr. Zuckerberg. Yeah, so no no, I would see the steam frame Very much being competitive on a on a content basis, especially with their support for Just side loading apk's onto it. By the way, I'd like to Digress for a moment here Every time I say side loading to describe the process of just firing up an apk on an Android device There's this kind of cohort of people that start hooting about how That's just installing if you call it side floating. It normalizes closed ecosystems What I'm doing is I'm using a word that has a very specific meaning that everybody understands and you need to chill side loading means circumventing an app store to install an application App for just applications to install an application on a device that would otherwise be more closed It has a very clear meaning And you need to calm down You're welcome Like base loader or something Based loading. I like it. I like uh Linus, what's your family's take on durian? Is it the king of fruit or gross fruit? What is your favorite fruit outside of north america? Your favorite fruit that is native outside of north america. You missed the key word there. No, he's great. You're doing great Uh, hold on. I'm gonna archive the Gabe cube one. Oh, someone else did it first. Good thing. I didn't do it Um, okay. Everyone in my family loves durian except me. I literally won't be in the room while they're eating it It smells like farts to me and I just I can't overcome that Okay, so the durian smell is rough, but I also think it's Nuts that people put durian smell and stinky tofu smell in the same bucket No, don't think they're close. No, no, no durian smells like farts and stinky tofu smells like Um, so it it smells like rotting dirty laundry water to me like it's like a whole nother level Yeah, um Like like durian can be rough especially if it's like if you're in an enclosed room basically Yeah, it's it's like being hot boxed with like that that Gassy coworker like it's not like it's not a pleasure. It's not a good experience I'd take durian over fish though. Honestly like a really fishy fish. I don't I'm not a seafood guy It makes me feel pretty nauseated. So it's uh Um, it's not that bad like it's still fruit with that said I've I've definitely gotten more used to it So it'd be hard for me to Experience durian the way that I used to experience durian where I would like want to leave the house Yvonne's family like cracked open a durian. Yeah I'd be like i'm going out like Uh, uh, oh favorite non North American native fruit Oh, dude, I don't even know like I wouldn't know the names of a lot of the like random fruits that I've tried Blackcurrant is that not native to north america blackcurrant's pretty chill I think we have bc or at least west coast varieties now What are those like hyper crunchy? What are where are autumn crisp grapes native to? Origin that's a good question because that's gonna just default win for me This is almost us. Okay. Yeah. So there non. Oh wait non north american native Wait, the new variety was developed from a cross between parent varieties including italia, which I assume is from italy muscat of alexandria, which I assume is I don't know roman and Cara from turk menistan So i'm gonna go with autumn crisp grapes There they're amazing I'm stealing one from chat, but peaches Peaches are not north american native not native Oh, fascinating. I think they're grown here okanagan valley thing. Yeah, I think they're grown here, but millions of peaches peaches for free That well, yeah, that's the second line. Yeah, you know what we have a huckleberry's are native But you're pretty nice. I don't know if most of the world even knows about huckleberries. How about you eat our native plants? Got him. Yeah Lawl foot job sock launch greatest tease ever. Thank you guys for an entertaining show Is there a way to take apart the scribe driver for cleaning? I love it, but it's getting a bit dirty Done Well, hold on. No, no, I'm just I'm thinking I'm I wonder if he means the bolt action, but you can so you can unscrew Wait, Sebastian's actually in the chat Sebastian did we put loctite on the the bolt head? Um Because I think he means I think he means in this mechanism. Yeah, it sounds like that's probably what's going on because that's definitely screwed in We did put loctite. Okay. What kind did we put like blue loctite like you could just you could get her And then you could put some more loctite on and you could put it back in or did we do like red loctite Bot says I cleaned mine with an ultrasonic cleaner. That would be a good idea That yeah, that would probably be a really good way. That would be a low low invasion way to do it Uh Sebastian will get back to us eventually instead of working Uh, Sebastian says you can break it. The risk is getting loctite around. Okay. I don't even know what that means But the point is I'll just on it cleaner after you take out the ink cartridge I think if you're trying to reloctite it you might get loctite in places that you don't want Oh, I see. You'll just be careful. Don't do that. Yeah, then All right, cool. Good chat Uh, hi lld made a switch from 1300 k's that kept dying on me to 9800 x3d's a year ago In hopes of better reliability. Yesterday it died as well What are your thoughts on cps being so fragile these days, dude? You are a snake bit Yeah, it feels like a unique experience for you. I think your motherboard. Oh, no, couldn't be your motherboard because you would have changed But check power supply I'm going power supply or dirty wall power dirty wall power. Get a ups. Yeah, get a ups now Yeah, there's like no way this is a thing. I Think it would be a stretch to believe this so something's got to be going on cpus Are now and have always been actually very durable Or not well not durable, but very well validated very well engineered. Sure It's rare that they uh go bad Hey lld. Thanks for all the content and behind the scenes. I hope to once join a LAN event when traveling to Canada after meeting with the real Linus. What's the next big thing on your achievement list? I think we kind of talked about it. I don't know. I kind of peeked didn't I but You kind of peeked. I mean, I'd say Oh, I see. I I wouldn't say that like there's tim burners lee There's the waz. Oh, yeah, sure. Gabe Newell. Gabe Newell. There's really cool ones. Yeah Yeah, I'd be down. I'd be down for that in terms of like not like meeting a person achievements I'm actually really excited for this coming year. Um, we shot part one of tech house yesterday Oh, whoa, we went shopping Okay, we went to five how five candidates for tech house with the With the explicit intention of offering on one of them and um That's one of the things that I've had to kind of keep up within my dms during the show today But we are making an offer. Oh, wow on one of them Yeah, it's weird doing a show during a work day. I know there's a lot going on Cut inconvenient But I'm really excited for the tech house series. I am and and honestly That video ended up being way more of a video than even I thought it was like obviously I decided it was video worthy Because we brought a camera with us. Yeah. Yeah, but like There were so many interesting considerations for us to talk about and sort of provide insight Into what we're looking for when we want to build a tech house um, so I'm really excited for that and then we've got we've got another big Sort of investment into a big sort of series and that will enable some other really cool content But we're not ready to announce that just yet, but that's also coming in 2026. So it's going to be a pretty incredible year cool No, it is not tech yacht Tech yacht is dead. Yeah, but I will answer no further questions about it Hello delicious little lemmings. That's pretty good. Actually, uh, thanks for the deals and free shipping. Who or what inspires you? I'm inspired by uh People who create a positive legacy that outlasts them. I don't know that I don't know that I have the power Or you know the smarts to you know be a nicola tesla, but I'd say like a nicola tesla is someone pretty inspiring um, I am a lot less inspired by people whose achievements have been great, but whose um Moral fiber has been questionable like someone like a jobs where it's like you you start to get into his dynamic with his baby mama and Offspring and you kind of go. Yeah, you're kind of icky. Yeah Yeah Best hotel story I'll start last week in Puerto Rico. I was also going to answer the previous one. Sorry. Sorry. No worries. Uh I For me, honestly, it's it's a lot of as much as I don't create that much these days a lot of creative inspiration from youtubers Um, I mentioned nakey jakey earlier in the show. That's definitely one for me But then like, you know, tom scott is freaking sick um someone that I've Really enjoyed their content for a while is uh, clio abram Her stuff is just awesome Um, there's a bunch of really youtube is a special place I think there's a lot of really cool stuff that happens on it and i'm constantly afraid that it's gonna move more corporate more corporate focus more on, you know late night tv shows and nfl or whatever else instead of Embracing it's like original the you part. Yeah, and uh, you know, they've held on for this long I'm not that scared that they're gonna randomly just lose it But you you hear some things every once in a while that are like, oh come on guys like Keep the focus where it's always been good. Uh, and yeah, I get I get inspiration from that Yeah Uh, hold on. I've got a not merch message To ginder sing in Floatplane chat says super excited to get the ultimate aio tv going picked it up a few hours ago How can I make it more ultimate and maybe less jank any tips? I'm giving you no tips for your low ball offer We got like Not enough for it, but I didn't want it. I didn't want to take it apart. It was such an incredible creation Uh from alex and the rest of the team and so disassembling it felt awful The uh, you know that that tv with all the consoles built into it And so I was like, okay, no alex other alex alex dick in logistics I want you to find someone locally because there's no way we can ship it Who will give us a reasonable offer and that was the highest offer we got and it was it was frankly Insultingly low, but you're welcome Enjoy your ultimate tv And uh, it's it's so cool. It's so cool. Enjoy the heck out of it. You got a great deal And you're getting no tips Are you reading now Dan? No, are we getting hit again? Okay, no, it's fine. I don't care either way. Um, okay best hotel story Uh, I'll start. I thought Dan was telling his own story. Uh, I'll start last week in Puerto Rico I went to the front desk to complain about the loud rainforest noises playing outside our room only to be told Those are just the frogs, sir That's actually amazing They thought they thought it was like resort speakers. It's way too loud. That's so funny. Yeah. Oh, man Suburbia person goes to Yeah Rainforest and goes, hmm. I'm usually them forests. We making noises. I'm usually so tired when I travel that I I don't even Remember probably 98 of the hotels I've ever stayed in Um, so I'll just tell a recent story the I I thought this was cool as heck. Uh, the hotel we stayed at in china during the Huawei Gym tour which by the way, have you watched that video? Yes, it's sick, right? It's pretty cool I wish more people watched it because it's pretty cool. Oh, yeah that video Bomb, but uh, but it it's a really cool facility where they Validate like health tracker stuff. Um, they have just kind of Like would that be what would you change to make that your dream gym? Like it's pretty fancy everything. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's so cool. Anyway, um The hotel I stayed at when we were doing that tour had in the lobby these little robots that, um Have like a cavity in the chest of them. They're like a cylinder and they have a cavity So instead of uber and lift drivers or whatever their equivalent is over there or skip the dishes Um having to talk to the front desk or like bring the meal up or whatever They just key in the room. Yeah Loaded into the thing close the thing and peace And they will just automatically go up to the room and deliver it for you. I had one like almost run over my foot Yeah, we had one of those like went over my foot a little not with the wheel But just with the skirt and they they're like pushy They're they're so cheerful like i'm not i'm not gonna I'm not gonna say things that sound chinese because that's like not a thing that you do But I don't speak chinese so I can't but anyway the point is they didn't there was no english on them So in chinese they'd be like pretty much along the lines of like i'm just on my way to get out right now Make sure you're not in the way. Like it was just ridiculously cheerful Um, and then it would just like plow past you to get out of the elevator and stuff I'm gonna spin my arms and if you happen to get in the way. Yeah That's your fault Okay, well, I'm gonna start kicking the air like this And if your body happens to fill that air, that's your fault Anyway Okay, I forgot to broadcast that one. I'm really good at this I mean, I don't make you guys do this very often the dashboard is Oh, I never broadcast the ones that we cure that we read when I dismiss them I just archive them conrad yells at me if I don't oh I think it's important. I don't ask questions whoopsie doodles also shout out conrad at the performance of the dashboard has been absolutely Flawless today. Good job, dude Yeah, in spite of us having well over 1,100 merge messages. This is definitely record time absolute record Uh, next one. I work in cyber security and keep receiving incorrect ai-generated documentation Yeah, that's fun. Uh, what are your thoughts on people relying on ai as a crutch without actually checking if the info is correct I mean, I've said this 10 trillion times. It's bad. You have to own your output The easiest way to do that is just never use ai output That's not realistic 100 of the time for how people use it But if you're going to submit something ever if it leaves your individual sphere of ownership You own it. You have to own that output. You are responsible for that output So you better check it or I think like, you know, if things are bad enough that can show up on performance reviews that can get you fired I think that's all extremely legitimate. You have to be Owning your output. There is no version of this where you don't That's my stance Hobsel toff says lots of hotels in the u.s. Have those little robots too. My friend Dan farted in one What is it with Dan's? Okay Because it's something is it that you're given the name and it makes you chaotic evil? I mean, there is or is it that your parents recognize Your innate qualities and they name you Dan There is something to be said about how name affects your development Like don't a lot of like podcasts have producers named Dan I think it's more than it's more than a couple Can't remember who had a Dan as a producer I don't know we're weird people fascinating. Anyway Labs web Dan full plane Dan said, uh, so many of us you got to stand out Not all attention is good attention That was the first time I ever experienced Um, we we had so we had a Dan on the full plane team and then we didn't have a Dan on the full plane team And then we got another Dan on the full plane team and I just kind of assigned them Like I had deleted the previous ones email So I didn't assign them the same email inbox, but I assigned them the same email like handle Oh, and then they went to go like sign up for services and their account already existed, right? Yeah, that was like Oh, yeah, that was not good foresight. Yeah Well, that was when we we did the company was so small at that time. It was all you know first name. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah And I guess that's why that doesn't happen. Yeah Yeah, cool You had all these problems onboarding because he'd be like, uh, well Anyway It's been leaked before I know but anyway That'll be a rough day Okay, what else we got uh, I work in cyber security says michelle and I keep receiving. Oh wait, what the ah broadcast dang it lube Oh, no, we uh, we both did it next one. Hello Linus and luke Linus. This is a rude question. Do you have a favorite cat? Yeah Okay, this is gonna be tough because there's lots of different things to like about different kinds of cats for instance Smart oscelots are objectively the most beautiful of the cats They are just Stunning in every possible way They're beautiful. They're so cool Um Oscelots, they're they're the most beautiful of the cats. No question. Um, however, you know with that said not everything is about looks and You know the the peter bald is apparently Known to be one of the biggest snugglers and they're just makes up for it in personality Look for the look at them. Look at them, right? Beauty on the inside. Okay. I also own a hot water bottle Okay, but you know, how can you how can you question the raw? Just Performance of this machine. Yeah, the mighty not mighty but very fast cheetah It really is amazing watching them really go for it running How long does it go without even touching the ground? Isn't that incredible? It brings new meaning to the term zoomies. That was not even going that hard. Yeah, um But in terms of you know Day-to-day, I think theoretically you don't actually want to be not touching the ground for all that long but day-to-day You know what? These guys are the ones that need a home more than anyone else because They're not well, okay. This is a technically a breed or whatever But just your your your run of the mill see at Yeah, um, we have too many of them for how many homes there are for them. So those are my favorites to adopt I I made the I'll call it a mistake of of buying Fancy breed of cat for my first, you know, grown-up cat my adulting cats and um I shouldn't have because there's lots of there's lots of homeless cats that that need a good loving home And uh, that's that's my favorite to have in my home Is cats that need a home cats that I find in my yard This is why you having five to ten cats is okay Exactly because who else is going to take care of them and like a lot of people have two cats and you're like a bunch of people So you can have two each exactly John br asks would you adopt an ocelot? I would not Because they are apparently very difficult to litter train and their pee is like Wildcat pee marking territory pee Hi lld considering the free shipping I'd consider a serval though I still want a main coon. I still want a serval. They're like 15 feet long Terrifying animals. Hi ld considering the free shipping even for trans oceanic orders How are you able to eat the cost of the shipping and still earn a profit in my case 42 cad? for transatlantic on a 105 cad order Which is probably also already a bundle um I think the answer is that we hope not of them not a ton of them are like that yeah And we hope that people will yeah buy some stuff that's at full price Go find some apparel and hook it in there. But it is what it is. Uh, but yeah, it is what it is I mean, this is a once a year thing Black friday like we run other promotions throughout the year, but um pretty big. Yeah, but but black friday happens But once a year and you know, we want to make sure that we're We're an exciting place to go on black friday. We don't want to disappoint you guys and so we we dig deep and we Try to make an exciting promo. I don't know really what else to say um We you know overall we operate a profitable apparel and a profitable physical goods that are not apparel business and we Are, you know, extremely grateful for all of your support And this is not the time of year that we make as much margin Um next up Hello, wancho. I am in need of a tech tip for some reason. My pc's clock keeps slowly getting further out of sync Any ideas? Is it my 1300k or motherboard? Does this I think your seamos battery might be that sounds like might be bad. I don't know. Does that make your does that make it drift? I've never heard of this problem personally Yeah, would that make it drift people say motherboard seamos, but is it the seamos the battery seamos? Yeah, I'd be the battery then Uh, yeah, apparently it does make it drift. Yeah, there you go replace the little button cell That's on your motherboard or just don't care and set your operating system to check all the time. Yeah Yeah, those are both options. I think most of them do automatically these days. I'm a little surprised. This was a thing, but Yeah, uh, probably the best merge message of the night merge message number 100 1000 there you are my goodness There you are watching right now. Yeah. Thanks for carto. We we already mentioned it, but we're doing it again apparently. Oh nice Yeah solid sick Uh, I'm starting a new Oh, wait, uh, this one is already done Okay LLD. I'm writing an article for a local zine. Oh, it's been a while zine zine. It's been a while About preservation. Would you be willing to provide an extremely brief blurb about the importance of things like the internet archive? Internet archive is pretty important. Yeah, how do we how do we define? I mean, it's very very easy for an increasingly corporate controlled internet. It's very very easy to hide misdeeds to change things to pretend bad things never happened etc etc etc and To be able to keep a record on that is maintain accountability And maintain accountability is difficult and the internet archive does an incredible job of not just doing that but making The the utilization of their archive be actually very approachable. Yeah, it's very navigable You can you can find the thing that you need and you can walk someone through finding it very quickly and easily um, it's a fantastic service and Knowledge is power and the internet archive gives us more power than we would have without it There's there's a very old saying which unfortunately gets a little bit less true Constantly, but it's the whole the internet never forgets thing and the internet archive is one of the Few ways that that is still true I think it's the last major bastion of the internet not forgetting because pretty much everything else is quite If it's a week old, it's gone. Yeah, unless an an archive has it so yeah And last one I have for you today. Oh wow Hi lld I have found your products worth the extra spend a couple times a year But has the increasing economic fragility over the last few years made you rethink mostly having niche products? On the contrary, um from our internal conversations recently, I would say we are happy with our strategy to have premium niche products that are that are not easily replicated by someone else because Um, we've talked about this on the show a little bit lately, but apparently it's a half of us spending now is the top 10% of earners So I think that's just going to keep getting worse. So the disposable Uh income is is highly concentrated in people who have niche hobbies and are willing to spend on them in order to get the best experience And I think in a lot of cases we strive to provide an outstanding experience Um Even if it's not necessarily at the lowest price like our whole product design philosophy is If it could make the product $10 better and it only costs 10 cents Don't ask me about it. Just do it Um, and so I'm I'm really proud of the the quality. I'm proud of the development process. We obviously have Constraints, you know, we have a you know a fashion calendar Like you have to have seasonal items when they make sense That's something we're trying to clean up a lot compared to previous years But even with that said, you know, we very much take a do things right approach to our to our product development I think that's um, I think that's something that people will be willing to pay a little more for Another thing is that I'm a big proponent of the boots economic theory I I think that when someone says I can't afford a high quality item My immediate counterpoint is no what you can't afford is a low quality item that will break down and to be replaced over time I mean the scribe driver is yeah, it's an expensive pen. It's $30, right? 30 us dollars for a pen. That's insane but There's lots of pens that are more expensive. Well, no, I mean in compared to like a bick roller Oh, absolutely. And bicks are based but you crack it open and you put a new cartridge in it and then you just keep using it and Obviously, you know, I'm not going to say that it will last a hundred years because I have no way of knowing that for sure But what I can say is that we have taken Good faith efforts to make it so that it conceivably could last functionally forever Um, and we just we try to make sure we build good quality products that last for a long time And I'm never going to apologize for that. It's something that's a little more expensive, but You don't have to replace And I'm never going to apologize for this being the end of the wanshow We'll see you again next week guys same bad time same bad channel Sorry, that's the end of the wanshow. Bye Oh Dan never mind button. How you doing? There it goes. Sorry about that Oh Wait, no wait wait wait wait wait wait stop Stop the presses wait wait. We're trying something today. What wait? We're trying something today. The show's not over Hold on. Did everybody leave already? No, what are we trying? Hold on. We're trying something today. Are they still here? Yeah, a lot of them are still here. Okay. Okay. Hold on. No, we're not leaving Well, we are but not until we do a thing one sec. Okay. We're trying something today. We've never tried this before I Am about to set this video live. Oh, that's fun. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we're gonna do a push to this video And we're gonna see if that like has an algorithmic benefit. We're doing a little a little experiment to molation Nation thing here. So Dan, I just dropped you. Don't worry about it. Dan. I just dropped you a link Red magic has this phone that's got water cooling in it. We did a video. We tear it down. We talk about How how much the water cooling does or it doesn't actually cool the phone, but it's still pretty sick and we are going to Launch it right now.
