1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,680
Oh, you all right well like no, I'm sick, but I'll be fine

2
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:10,920
I'll be fine

3
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,240
Such a long streak of not being sick dude

4
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,160
You were doing great, and you're doing good. Yeah

5
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:26,520
Now you're wrecked. There was two people sick at Christmas. It just

6
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:32,100
Was what it was. They got you. Yeah I

7
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:40,680
My whole family got sick over the holiday except me so if you get me then you're better than my family

8
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,960
I'm a better spreading Plague so like whatever

9
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:52,400
No, I care about this nothing to be proud of no, I know I care about this now. I have to be the best

10
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:08,240
That's a lot of razor wears razor comms I

11
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:24,440
Don't think the whanshow is sponsored entirely by razor. I see some some stuff going on down here

12
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,480
You

13
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,680
Razor

14
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:50,160
Now it's more razor the skin oh my goodness

15
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,600
Your water bottle wedges, oh wow

16
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:06,440
Oh Razor colors minus the gold aren't even

17
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:15,040
What do you mean it's green and black? It's the wrong green Yeah, and there's gold which is wrong. Yeah, but there's black which is good. Oh my god

18
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:23,240
Hey look razor colors stop it. They're actually a little closer than mine to be honest if you ignore the pink

19
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,120
If you ignore the primary color oh my god

20
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:39,960
I Yeah, that regime is also, you know pretty good if you ignore the genocide, you know, oh, you know that one that's a lot of them. I

21
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,080
Wish it was clear who I was talking

22
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:52,280
If only we lived in a world where that genocidal regime meant one

23
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,760
Genocidal regime and everyone knew who we were talking about. Yeah, even current one

24
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,360
I think avengers says you have no idea how little that narrows it down. No, that's just it. I do

25
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,160
And it's sad. That's the joke

26
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:16,080
It's amazing how that's the joke our community is like I love you guys, but like damn

27
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,120
That might be pretty much every community I wonder if Linus realizes

28
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,120
I

29
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,240
Change isn't I don't know what it is. I can't do this. I

30
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:38,800
Can't like it looks like you're doing it. No, that's that what no that looks like it the shape of an actual heart not a

31
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:48,040
Woman's butt from behind, you know You're worse. Wow. I can't do it. You're trash. I can't even hold on. Maybe it'll help if I

32
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:54,760
Oh How is it supposed to be much better than this? It's fine. It's still misshapen

33
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:04,640
Feel like mine looks like a like a terrible a fruit from like Stardew Valley or something the like little icon for it

34
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,640
Absolutely, people just do this easy one. No, no, they do this. No, they do this. No, this is newer

35
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:14,560
I don't think it's like half a heart on your cheek. Yeah, but I think this is where really I

36
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,160
Guess you have girls so you'd probably know

37
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:25,760
And that's not where I picked it up from it was from the recent gamer leg collab. Oh, yeah

38
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,520
Yeah, that guy would probably know

39
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,440
This is not a heart we're actually getting mooned no 100% that's the heart is it's it's a buttocks

40
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,280
It's it's not the heart. That's a thing

41
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,200
Really, yeah, that's that's that my understanding is that's the origin of that shape

42
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:52,760
Hmm It's a bent over, but yeah, I know it makes sense. Yeah

43
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,520
Love or something. We should probably start the show

44
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,960
Yeah, let's do it

45
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,320
Okay, yeah, did you guys kill me?

46
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,080
What you guys

47
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,320
We didn't kill you. You guys did was their choice

48
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:27,600
Don't don't put this on me they would dude they would all right. I'm resuming the selected here we go

49
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,680
You'll have to tell me down it on the thing open

50
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,640
You

51
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,560
What is up everybody and welcome to

52
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,800
The very last WAN Show of its type

53
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:59,320
Actually last week was the last WAN Show before some major

54
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,360
Well, that's a bit of a changes that we'll be talking about sure

55
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:08,800
I mean, do you agree that it's a very big change? It's sure, but I think

56
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,320
Framing that way makes it like less concerning

57
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,880
You just ruined all the No, I think it's pretty concerning. Okay

58
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:24,120
WAN Show will never be the same. We'll be talking about that. We'll also be talking about all the tech news from this week

59
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:28,520
including really

60
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,200
GPUs are supposed to go up in price. Yeah

61
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,560
No We already lived through this one

62
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:44,000
multiple times This is double jeopardy. You can't get charged for the same crime twice. You can't yeah, you you can't

63
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:50,160
Be a witness for your spouse's crime. You can't live through a GPU apocalypse twice

64
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,440
These are fundamental laws. This is this is we're beyond twice though

65
00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:05,520
What else we got? Grock completely ruined my morning Grock is being used to generate non-consensual sexual images of both adults and children

66
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:11,720
And it's like actually as bad as it sounds. We'll talk about that later

67
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:18,880
And apparently oh, I was gonna go for bad news. No, no good news. Please please balance it out

68
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,160
So far we've got bad news bad news bad news. Okay, this is gonna sound like bad news

69
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:28,600
But I think it's kind of fun unlucky RTX 5080 buyer who received rocks did their own

70
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:34,920
Investigation and they got their replacement from Best Buy they want. Oh, well, that's good. Yeah. All right. Yeah

71
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,200
And it's kind of sick how they did it. Let's go with that

72
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:43,040
There's nothing like hacking into the files of the principal office

73
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,560
What's this an

74
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:54,120
energy vortex Organic life forms. Oh, I'll quit I

75
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,360
Seem to have a portal into a parallel universe

76
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:04,360
extraordinary savages

77
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,880
I'll show you Yo

78
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,040
The Wancho is brought to you today by Vessie Delta hub

79
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:41,860
X-split and motion gray Alongside of course our rap partner D brand our laptop partner razor and our chair partner

80
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:49,080
Razor who if they thought they were gonna be treated more respectfully than our previous wait, was it already upside down?

81
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,880
There it's perfect

82
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:03,560
Notice and you put it If you hit the correct that way that would have been so funny

83
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:11,800
Almost it almost happened. I was so close. All right. Why don't we just intro was amazing? Who made that?

84
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,240
I actually don't know I would assume it was no key

85
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,440
I assumed that as well, but I didn't see like a thing or anything

86
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:23,960
So why don't we explain what the heck it was not on it was not who was it? I don't know

87
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,760
It was the team themselves. So really really that's so cool. Okay

88
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:38,240
We should explain it. Yeah reboot was a Canadian animated television series that was produced by Vancouver based mainframe

89
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:47,400
Entertainment alongside Alliance distribution and BLT productions, and it originally aired on YTV from 1994 until 2001

90
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:53,680
That's right reboot was my childhood. That's what computer animation looked like when I was a kid

91
00:09:53,680 --> 00:10:01,160
Yeah, me too And it's notable for being the first made for television CGI series with full half hour episodes

92
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:09,400
Reboot rewind is an eight-part documentary series about the show that came out in 2024 and now

93
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:17,200
The documentarians are collaborating with mainframe to remaster the series from its original D1 tapes

94
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,040
Okay, this says last Friday because we put off this topic for a couple weeks

95
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:30,240
But recently the reboot rewind team put out an update video on the progress of the D1 tapes being recorded and Sven

96
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:36,600
Gave me the TLDR Every episode has been captured off the D1 tapes, which was non-trivial

97
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:42,240
BTS machines are being used to capture the footage at the original 576p and

98
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:47,080
LTT has actually been helping with this project for like two years now

99
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:54,200
Supplying Kyoksia drives for storing the footage as well as helping pay for some of the machines and parts of the machine

100
00:10:54,200 --> 00:11:02,120
See there was a big challenge getting even a single functioning working machine to read these tapes because

101
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:08,240
Media production it moves so fast that no one's really thinking about

102
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:15,560
How we're going to preserve all of this stuff and in the early days of computer animation and digital production

103
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,160
The standards were hardly even standards

104
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:23,080
Yeah, and they didn't last very long and they weren't interoperable

105
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:28,280
So this and when the when the like manufacturing pipeline for making these things goes away

106
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,840
It's actually extremely difficult in some cases to like make bespoke parts for these things

107
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:38,520
So needing to source stuff was rather difficult. So we should have a video coming out in

108
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,040
2026 on LTT about this project

109
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:47,800
It's been literally years in the making now and then at the end of the video the reboot rewind host mentions

110
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,640
They happen to also have the D1 tapes for

111
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:57,360
Transformers Beast Wars aka Beasties as it was known in Canada along with other

112
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:05,400
Cool old CGI shows that mainframe studios worked on and they're trying to get in touch with people about remastering that stuff as well

113
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,600
Shout out to Brian. He's the one doing a lot of the hard work to restore each episode

114
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:16,560
Which is being meticulously checked for transfer errors and mastering glitches. Awesome. They also did the fun intro for today's episode

115
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:25,160
There you go. That was sick. That was very cool Also, Sven told me that the reboot rewind folks shared some restored cutscenes from a reboot PS1 game

116
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:34,600
Which is linked above? People will go nuts for these animated cutscenes because they've never been seen in better than PlayStation 1 FMV quality seriously

117
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:41,640
Okay, that's pretty cool. That is pretty cool. That's pretty cool. Oh my god, that looks

118
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,280
That looks clean, dude

119
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,000
Holy crap

120
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,040
You

121
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:34,000
Now now it's let's not be petty accidents can happen

122
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,600
Oh Oh

123
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,960
This is the town

124
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,600
Oh

125
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:23,200
Damn dude doing this stuff back then was so crazy. I know, right? Oh

126
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,920
That is so cool. Anyway, um discussion question

127
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:34,920
Talk about, you know, the value of media preservation. What do we do to protect and preserve our work? Not enough?

128
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:40,880
I mean realistically, man, I feel like everyone probably feels like this in the moment. I was about to say realistically

129
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,280
I don't think it matters that much but then like

130
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,960
someone's gonna want some reference for even something as simple as

131
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:53,280
How well received was this GPU at that time?

132
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:59,520
And if we don't keep the media from that time, then we don't have it. Yeah, that's simple

133
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:05,240
And I think that's how a lot of things get forgotten, but I got to tell you like when you're in the thick of it

134
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,400
It's hard to it's hard to think about these things

135
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:15,480
Why don't we move on to our next big topic which is of course, oh

136
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:22,440
Sorry, I'm looking for good news We had we started with good news

137
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:28,080
We didn't sell us good news. We could do bad. You know what? No. No, let's do a little bit more

138
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:35,380
Moderate news. Okay. There is a potential workaround for expensive hardware

139
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,680
older hardware The Ryzen 7

140
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:48,800
5800x an AMD CPU from like five years ago has just hit the number one spot as the top selling

141
00:15:48,960 --> 00:16:02,000
CPU on Amazon in the UK and Even older CPUs or even older GPUs like the 5800 XT are sitting at fourth place for GPUs on Amazon in the US

142
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,160
eBay is currently flooded with people selling older hardware

143
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:16,160
CPUs GPUs motherboards and yes, of course older DDR4 and even DDR3 memory and I want to shout out tech spot here

144
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:23,520
for doing a little article that Luke has actually been bugging us to do something about which we are actually working on in the background as

145
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:28,160
Well, although a slightly different angle, but doing a little article talking about

146
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:39,600
the usability of slightly older hardware they showed that if you compare CPUs they actually tested 44 CPUs and

147
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,200
Going as far back as the Ryzen 5

148
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:52,800
2600 in modern games like battlefield 6 you can still achieve a more than playable experience at 1080p high and I think this is a

149
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,720
really important thing for people to

150
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:02,560
Consider right now. It's like this is not really our discussion questions not really a question

151
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,640
It's more of a statement. You don't need to buy new expensive hardware, dude

152
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,280
My what are my buddies from from high school his son

153
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:16,120
Is currently running. I might get some of the specs wrong. Sorry, but I think it's

154
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:28,040
Like eight gigs of RAM Maybe 16, but I think it's eight a GTX 1080 and a 7000 series Intel processor and he plays

155
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,440
Whatever that riot game shooter is valorant and

156
00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:36,280
Arc Raiders and he was saying in Arc Raiders. He was getting over 80 FPS

157
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:41,040
It's like dude, these are these are ancient pieces of hardware at this point

158
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,680
The 1080 doesn't even have like official continual driver support

159
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:50,480
But like I don't know whatever if it plays the game that you want to play at at like 80 something FPS

160
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:58,380
Why not? And like do I love 100 bucks spending a hundred dollars on an old

161
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:04,560
GPU no, I don't love that, but it's also a hundred bucks, but it's also a hundred bucks and there might be a better

162
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,720
I'm not this isn't a suggestion. That's just a a rig that I know of that's running

163
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:15,560
Yeah, no 100% and here's the thing too is like I can totally understand people not wanting, you know

164
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:23,440
Like being frustrated to hear like are you basically just you know telling me that you know two dolls ought to be enough for

165
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:30,080
For a child. They don't need 10 dolls or 20 dolls or whatever that ridiculous thing was. No, I'm not saying that at all

166
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:38,640
I'm saying that Channeling your inner scrapyard warrior is a great way to ride out times like this like I guarantee you

167
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,560
I don't think I've actually ever asked to loop this, but I guarantee you

168
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,520
That at some point he built a stopgap system

169
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:56,160
Sure something to tide you over while you waited for something else to be more affordable or something else to release or

170
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,880
when you were in between selling your last-generation GPU and

171
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,720
Waiting for a deal on a new generation one or whatever

172
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:09,960
I mean, I had like I think I've told you about this before where I was able to buy a

173
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,640
Platform upgrade through the Intel retail Edge program

174
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:19,680
But I couldn't afford the rest of the upgrade for like I think it was like half a year or something

175
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:24,600
And one of the ways that I was able to afford it was I sold my old platform and my old case

176
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:32,480
But that meant that I didn't have a case I got the new platform didn't have a case so I got this like hand-me-down case, but the power button didn't work

177
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:40,720
So I set up like a rubber band bow Basically and a pencil nice that was so I could reach under my monitor and poke the pencil and it would press the

178
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:46,080
On motherboard power button nice to turn the system on and I had that for at least half a year

179
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:53,520
Nice, whatever who cares and that's totally I think stuff like that's cool, and that's totally fine making stuff work is

180
00:19:54,280 --> 00:20:01,160
is cool When did that not I thought it was fun. When did that not be cool? I almost always for a long time there I

181
00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:07,960
Apparently don't build my own computers anymore because the last two that I've had either you or your kids have built but

182
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,840
Actually last three because there was a revision in that one case so last three

183
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,800
I mean I had a little bit to deal with the one in the middle, but still

184
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,800
But before then I would always include one thing that was just like a

185
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:31,320
Weird solution because I thought it was fun like there was one time I mounted my pump on a cutout piece of the mudflap of my old car to use as like sound deadening

186
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:37,040
So it was on this like rubber panel instead of a plastic panel in the case because it made it was just quieter

187
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:43,000
And it worked and it was awesome, and I like that part So don't don't like feel bad about doing things like that

188
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:50,040
I've always thought that's super cool and something that's really important to note about stopgapping is that it can even it can even

189
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,360
It can it can help It might feel like well

190
00:20:55,360 --> 00:20:59,480
I'm buying something that is gonna like go down in value and

191
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:05,800
Effectively like waste a bunch of my money instead of the thing. I actually wanted so I might be better off just getting the thing

192
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:10,360
I wanted, but let me let me show you guys just some interesting math here, right?

193
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:16,960
So at 1080 you can acquire pretty easily for about a hundred dollars, and if you don't feel like paying shipping on it

194
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:22,040
Don't pay 200 bucks. Yeah, do not pay $200 if you don't feel like paying shipping on it

195
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:26,840
Or you worry that something that you buy on eBay might not be working Luke, and I have both

196
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:33,280
Tested GPUs that we've purchased on local marketplaces live like test it make sure that it actually works

197
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:37,800
Yeah, and the thing about an older GPU like this is that it's already

198
00:21:38,360 --> 00:21:47,040
Gotten very low on its depreciation Someone in full-point chat earlier said 1080s have been around a hundred dollars for years now if we go back to like a GTX

199
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,720
780 Okay

200
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,280
Here we go. Those are still

201
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:59,700
Like 45 bucks, you know 25 bucks 70 dollars, whatever there

202
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:06,640
That and that's a two generation older card, right like wrap your brain around that

203
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:12,200
You could stop gap with this 1080 for three or four years, and it might lose another

204
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:21,160
50 to 75 dollars in value Whereas if you could wait a year or you could wait a year and a half on a current generation card

205
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:26,960
The second that gets replaced by something I guarantee you that you will gain more

206
00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:33,520
By just delaying that purchase then you lost by acquiring that stopgap card and then just reselling it

207
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:42,360
Like it's I don't know man. I don't know what to tell you It's it's kind of a frustrating thing because you know how we often have that conversation where

208
00:22:43,360 --> 00:22:49,880
It feels like there's this pressure from certain corners of the community for us to be more outraged for us to like

209
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,880
Demand that NVIDIA lower their prices as if they're gonna listen to us

210
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:58,080
And I mean I wish they would obviously prices are too high and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

211
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,160
But and and that's and that's all true, but at the end of the day

212
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,840
I mean we did that video recently explaining that it's not just NVIDIA

213
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,600
I mean NVIDIA has is videos a very profitable company

214
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:15,600
But so is TSMC who has a monopoly on the manufacturer of the chips NVIDIA cells and for that matter

215
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:22,680
So is a SML who has a monopoly on the machines that TSMC uses to manufacture the chips that NVIDIA sells and

216
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:28,000
Monopoly is a bound and you're talking about the entire supply chain companies that are holding up nations

217
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,000
Yeah, when you get to that scale and so it's one of those things where it's like yeah

218
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:35,760
I could I could like demand that NVIDIA lower their pricing, but I don't have that influence

219
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:41,120
It's it's it's so ironic right because influencer is right in my job title and yet well

220
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:45,640
I can't influence companies to change their pricing and our discussion question here is

221
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:52,920
Is it frustrating that it seems to go the other way too because for over a decade you and I have been going

222
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,320
Yeah, but did you have a D yabba D yabba D yabba D yabba D yabba D yabba D yabba D yabba D yabba D yabba D yabba D yabba D yabba D yabba D yab Murder

223
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:01,800
audience that is what we sound like going hey guys you don't be heads you don't have to buy a brand new one

224
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:07,320
the second hand market exists making do with something scrappier is

225
00:24:08,120 --> 00:24:14,960
Is honorable and based scrappier wars and it doesn't it doesn't even seem to mean anything

226
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:21,780
Some people get it though some people do get it every once in a while you'll see a post on the on the subreddit where someone's like I did my own

227
00:24:21,780 --> 00:24:25,300
Scrapyard Wars and I came up with this or whatever. Those are your big moments for me

228
00:24:25,300 --> 00:24:33,300
I Genuinely love that. This was one that was you're never gonna hit everybody. I know I know okay

229
00:24:33,460 --> 00:24:35,780
This was one that was frustrating for me

230
00:24:37,020 --> 00:24:45,140
This this video Bombed out of the gate like it sucked. It's done. Okay in the longer term, which is which is heartening

231
00:24:45,620 --> 00:24:49,180
It's whatever the opposite of disheartening remember this having issues out the gate though

232
00:24:49,180 --> 00:24:55,140
I do remember but you know what in spite of it having issues out of the gate this video about you know

233
00:24:55,420 --> 00:25:03,140
Scrapyard warring like a Facebook marketplace home theater set up for a fraction of the cost of even a crappy soundbar

234
00:25:04,140 --> 00:25:10,860
Did inspire? Multiple yeah see that's on the subreddit of people being like I had no idea

235
00:25:11,500 --> 00:25:17,540
This is so cool. I love my setup now. Thanks for inspiring this. That's awesome. That's why we do it

236
00:25:17,540 --> 00:25:23,100
That's why we play the game. I I I loved it. I'm glad when people get the point

237
00:25:23,100 --> 00:25:25,660
I also find that you learn a lot more about your craft

238
00:25:27,060 --> 00:25:31,500
Okay, I guess I'll concede that building computers is not quite as easy as adult Lego

239
00:25:32,500 --> 00:25:38,580
but When it's all brand new out of the box stuff, it is a lot more simple and

240
00:25:39,660 --> 00:25:44,280
You're often dealing with like configurators on websites that are telling you compatibility things off the hop

241
00:25:45,120 --> 00:25:47,760
When you're on the use market, you're trying to

242
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:55,840
Price min max and that often means mixing things together from different sellers in different areas and

243
00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:00,680
Trying to make sure that everything's gonna work and and trying to learn how to diagnose like on the spot

244
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:05,240
If you can go visit somebody and be like, hey, can I bring a test bench to test this thing?

245
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:12,240
I've done that a bunch and Learning what program you should run to try to verify if it's legit on the spot all those different types of things

246
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,680
You're learning stuff about your craft, which is kind of like fun and cool

247
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,320
I Have that old board by the way

248
00:26:19,360 --> 00:26:24,240
If you want to do I don't know if you want to do a video on that or what but the JQ with the wire repair

249
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:29,160
It's at my place right now. Okay. Yeah, that's that's probably an interesting from scryer boards

250
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:34,320
Scrap yard Wars season four. There was a repair that I mean it goes above my head

251
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,240
I don't understand might understand, but I don't

252
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:44,800
There's a a single wire that runs from one fan header to another fan header on a very specific pin on each probably power

253
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,800
But if that wire isn't bridging those two fan headers

254
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:58,120
It doesn't work And if it is then it works perfectly fine and has worked perfectly fine for years like in some cases

255
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:05,640
Acting as like a 24-7 server for like months at a time and stuff like had no issues just as long as this

256
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,880
This wire is bridging these two fan headers and this motherboard made magic smoke at some point

257
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,480
Yeah, so I I don't quite I can't quite fathom it who knows

258
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:21,160
But stuff like that's awesome like I that gets me way more jazzed up than like some random new mother. What's up?

259
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,160
I can tell oh

260
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,640
Anyways off that topic

261
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:35,320
What are we supposed to be doing Dan? How's it going over there? Oh, he's chill. He's chilly

262
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,280
Five it out Christmas energy strong

263
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,760
Headline topic is technically the thing. Yeah, probably that

264
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:55,880
It's not ominous, how do you want to approach this? I mean, you're the one that keeps trying to let the cat out of the bag

265
00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:00,080
I'm not about cats getting out of bags. I keep cats in bags

266
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:07,720
I'm like a cat bag kind of guy. I don't think so you leak a lot of stuff on Lancia. I mean, I don't know if you can

267
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:15,520
Yeah, but I can use the proportional argument. I thought you many things to leak. I thought you meant literal

268
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:19,680
I thought yeah, no, okay. Sure figuratively. Yes. I let a lot of cats out of bag

269
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:24,580
All of my actual cats are in a bag right now. Oh, all together. Yeah

270
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:33,400
No Um, I braced for the clarification. It's sad that it had to happen, but it didn't have to have it

271
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:38,200
the WAN Show is officially as of

272
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,600
yesterday under new management

273
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:53,160
What Well, not really under new management actually the management is the same but the ownership is different

274
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:59,400
This is a pretty major change going forward, but I have

275
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,760
I don't know. I don't know what you would call it, but I I have

276
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:13,200
abdicated half of my ownership stake of the WAN Show

277
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:18,120
People are saying sold out to

278
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:22,240
Mr. Luke. Mr. Luke Lafrenier sold out to me

279
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:30,000
It's official The WAN Show is a 50-50 partnership between me and Luke

280
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:37,600
We have We have what's it called up? We've incorporated a new media holding company

281
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:43,920
adequate media Inc. which owns the WAN Show so technically

282
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:49,400
My half of it is actually owned by me and Yvonne because we are one person

283
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:55,760
From a legal standpoint, so we own half of the WAN Show and then Luke

284
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,120
officially owns the other half of the WAN Show it

285
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:02,880
We've had a lot of questions over the years about you know

286
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:09,560
What is what is Luke's equity stake and and this and that and the answer has always been Linus Media Group was

287
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,400
founded and seed seeded by

288
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,960
me and Yvonne and we've owned it a hundred percent, but

289
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:24,640
the WAN Show clearly has two people in its soul and one of them is

290
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:30,160
this guy, I think that I think that for the WAN Show to

291
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,840
Continue to be the WAN Show forever

292
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:39,560
the only right way to safeguard its future was to

293
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,680
Have it be a

294
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:49,200
Linus Luke Equal partnership So the change then the big change is that

295
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,560
the WAN Show is is safe and

296
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:59,800
That the WAN Show will not change that's the big change well, it is a big change the WAN Show was unsafe

297
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:05,600
Well, no, I mean it then it's not a change you and I have talked about it right that you know

298
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,520
If you took a position somewhere else or that if I

299
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:14,740
Retired from making daily tech tips videos or whatever we'd still want to do that. We wanted to continue to do the WAN Show

300
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:20,920
But that agreement right it's verbal. It's handshake. It's you know

301
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:26,240
We're we're friends But it's not codified

302
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,800
It's not in black and white. Yeah, there's no actual

303
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:37,680
There's no guarantee that we'll be able to put together the correct financial incentives

304
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,680
to ensure that Whereas now

305
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,000
It's very clear

306
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,440
Yeah, and I mean there's still like some people are saying like oh it shouldn't be 5050 because

307
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:57,560
Someone should always be able to make decisions and stuff. I'm like, yeah, I mean

308
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:03,760
It's still kind of in Linus's hands if we're being real about things

309
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:06,920
He still owns Linus Media Group

310
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:16,760
The people who basically like run WAN Show operations wise are LTT people LMG people etc

311
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,400
This is not like yeah

312
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,520
However, it's very cool symbolically that's today. I

313
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:33,360
Don't know what I don't know what our however many years because when we've been talking about WAN Show futures

314
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:39,680
We've been talking about like That we want to keep doing this in like 20 years. Yeah plus

315
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:45,480
So this is this is a step towards it being reasonable to do this in 20 years

316
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:53,940
Exactly. I thought for today You know what will what will probably happen is there will be an agreement between

317
00:32:54,440 --> 00:33:01,600
Adequate Media Inc. and Linus Media Group that Adequate Media Inc. will promote products and services like

318
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:10,880
Floatplane or creator warehouse or it or whatever and then Linus Media Group will find

319
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:19,720
Sponsorships and Realistically Luke is still employed as a as an employee of Floatplane and Linus Media Group and and all that stuff

320
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,400
So for today, there's no change

321
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:28,340
But for a potential future where who knows what happens

322
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,920
This ensures that there is a there's a strong

323
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:38,160
Incentive that's not I mean, it's not just financial to right like Luke called it symbolic

324
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:42,160
But I think it's more than just symbolic, I think it's I

325
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:49,080
think it's Well, those there's the there's the non financial part of it, right? Yeah, do we talk about that?

326
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,840
I mean sure. I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to so go for it

327
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:59,440
Though like the the agreement that you're just talking about of like the services and whatnot are supposed to balance things out

328
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,480
so this isn't like a

329
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,080
I'm not like looting LMG. No

330
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:11,680
No, and and the idea behind it is that that would never happen and the only time that

331
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:17,000
The only time that any of this would matter would be if there was a major change to the status quo

332
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:22,880
We're just trying to get out ahead of it and make sure that everyone's on the same page that we want to make sure that

333
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,880
Wanshoe can continue for

334
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,320
Indefinitely basically however long yeah, yep keep the streak alive

335
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:35,120
Yeah, so like effectively nothing is really changing honestly internally or externally

336
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:47,520
However starting soon We will start streaming the Wanshoe on a different channel and and on the LTT channel and then over time

337
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,840
We will eventually some point

338
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:57,240
Stop streaming the Wanshoe on the LTT channel and it will move to a dedicated channel either

339
00:34:57,240 --> 00:35:02,960
We will take over the LMG clips channel or we will create a new channel

340
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:08,800
So you guys will have to go subscribe to a new channel in order to get your notification for the Wanshoe live stream and and find the

341
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:17,080
VODs and all that Stay the path asks. What about on Floatplane? Don't worry Floatplane streaming is not going anywhere for better for worse

342
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:23,080
We were close no, yeah, we'll keep going here. Yeah

343
00:35:24,720 --> 00:35:32,440
Yeah Okay, does there any is there anything else did people have any kinds of like questions a

344
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:40,480
Lot of people asking how this works for Dan Dan still works for Linus media group

345
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:46,360
he is a Incredible incredibly valued member of the team

346
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:52,000
but from like a You know there at the beginning standpoint

347
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,360
That that that was Luke

348
00:35:56,120 --> 00:36:00,320
At this time, but I you know what I really appreciate the community's

349
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,760
Love of 10 Floatplane chat is

350
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,920
Dan they what can I say they they love you?

351
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:14,240
They love you Yeah, I'm here, too

352
00:36:16,720 --> 00:36:20,440
All right, should we should we move on to our next topic?

353
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:29,000
We've done this is three topics we've done now, but yeah Dan doesn't listen to the show. So what does he care?

354
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,560
Topics don't care topics don't care about your feelings

355
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:42,880
Drones US the US blacklist new foreign made drones from entering marketplace

356
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:49,760
No, no, the the oh, yeah the market like basically you can't sell it on yeah new non US made drones

357
00:36:50,240 --> 00:36:54,600
Cannot be sold. I guess not saying the marketplace makes it sound like Facebook. Yeah, yeah

358
00:36:54,600 --> 00:37:02,880
No, it's just the marketplace in general The FCC has announced a ban on new foreign made drones and critical drone components citing national security concerns

359
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:08,160
Which as an aside kind of makes sense a move that will heavily impact DJI

360
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:16,480
Rather specifically which dominates the US drone market the ruling blocks companies like DJI and out-held robotics from

361
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:22,760
Introducing new drones in the US through existing model though though existing models are not affected for now

362
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,640
The FCC says foreign made drones could enable surveillance

363
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:32,240
Data exfiltration and disruptive attacks arguing that all future UAS which is just

364
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,560
Basically UAV but its system instead of vehicle

365
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:42,440
all future UAS hardware should be manufactured domestically to reduce risk and

366
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:50,800
These are not entirely ridiculous Honestly, no drone pilots and commercial operators have pushed back hard warning

367
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:58,360
There are no real alternatives to DJI's affordability and capability industry groups say many businesses could shut down without access to DJI

368
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:05,680
Hardware while DJI itself calls the ban anti competitive and claims multiple reviews have found its products secure

369
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:11,160
It's I mean, it's definitely anti competitive and there are downsides major downsides for that

370
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:19,680
There's that whole thing where like China encouraged Tesla to come into their market to push their own

371
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:27,280
Players to be more competitive Basically like invite the big dog in to get your people to act up

372
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:35,640
Clearly DJI is already in the States and people are saying there is no alternative. So that's not exactly working stateside

373
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:40,280
So I had a chat with my brother-in-law. I've talked about him before

374
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,960
This is the company that he works for it's pretty cool. By the way, they're

375
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:51,680
Basically they're they're building a platform that is designed for

376
00:38:52,280 --> 00:39:00,840
individual drone operators To be incentivized you can actually kind of see it in this visual here be incentivized to capture high-resolution

377
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,360
drone imagery for global mapping

378
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:10,880
and not just like mapping like like like Google Maps, but more like

379
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:17,720
the kinds of high-detail models of our cities and the world that could be used for things like

380
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,480
Mineral exploration or for

381
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,360
One of the ones that he brought up for me was like firefighting

382
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:34,520
There's all kinds of cool stuff that you cannot do without a a high high-resolution

383
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:41,360
Map and there currently is not a practical way to capture that that isn't just

384
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:47,680
flying drones with high-resolution cameras over every square inch of the globe and then

385
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:54,200
Ingesting all of that data and making it accessible. So that's the that's the challenge that they're working on solving and

386
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,080
Yeah, yeah, Eleanor Eleanor says

387
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:05,160
Spexy is crowdsourced GIS, which is honestly so cool except like except like even better

388
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:13,640
It's really really cool tech Anyway, the point is that you know when this announcement hit

389
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:19,240
He and I were actually on a beach in Cabo and his phone

390
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:24,640
just like Started exploding because

391
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:31,560
Because like their entire industry is sitting there going. What do we do now? Yeah, okay

392
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:39,520
So we're supposed to use a domestic drone. What fucking domestic drone? What are you even talking about? Yeah, okay? Well, guess what?

393
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:49,680
Just like it always is There's a there's a political there's a political angle to it. Oh, is there like some company?

394
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,560
Is there some company? Oh

395
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,560
My god, I'm trying to use your website. This is terrible

396
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:07,440
Second new board blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah advisory board blah blah etc drone company

397
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,680
Yeah, of course there of course it is super cool. That makes sense. Yeah

398
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:15,880
Yeah, I definitely if we completely ignore that part because obviously

399
00:41:16,720 --> 00:41:20,960
The what is it that doesn't trump? It doesn't seem obvious to everyone

400
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:27,800
It doesn't seem obvious to everyone fair enough, but even if we ignore the clear corruption issues

401
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:33,600
I Understand why they would want to do something like this. Yeah future warfare

402
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:40,000
Like even if you look just within the confines of the Ukraine war. Oh, yeah future warfare has completely changed

403
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,680
And it is extremely drone based at this point

404
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:48,680
And if you don't have domestic drones and if you're like, yeah our entire domestic drone industries

405
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:56,080
Actually just DJI I can totally understand why that would be very concerning. I think there are other ways to solve this

406
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,240
I think there are ways to incentivize

407
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:05,400
You know like stateside drone companies race I don't drone manufacturing without just banning competition

408
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,920
But I can understand why from a defense perspective

409
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:16,880
You would want to make sure that you're protecting not necessarily banning competition, but protecting your own drone manufacturing

410
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:24,800
I think there's a variety of ways to do that that aren't banning it The only thing I'm saying is that I understand why they're doing this not that I necessarily agree with it

411
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:37,000
Yeah, I think the you know subsidizing promoting doing something to push local drone manufacturing and research would be a good idea instead of

412
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:42,760
You know banning competition and then setting up your your family member for an elliope

413
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:45,600
I

414
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:51,480
Nepotism is pretty cool, though. I guess Anyways next topic

415
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:56,760
Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I feel like I might have had a no

416
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,640
I guess I don't really have any more anything more to say about that. We'll

417
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:05,080
We'll see how it goes. It's gonna drive up the price of existing models for sure

418
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,400
it's going to it's

419
00:43:09,240 --> 00:43:11,480
going to cause a delay in

420
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:20,560
The in the quality of available drones in the US compared to other markets where DJI will continue to export and continue to innovate

421
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,320
Yeah, the mass manufacturing will be the problem people have been able to

422
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:29,000
Make drones at home for a long time. I do kind of wonder what this will look like for parts

423
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,120
Did it mention parts in here?

424
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:40,880
Okay, yeah, so critical parts it doesn't just include parts so the FPV community is like losing their minds to

425
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:46,240
It's not full drones. It is drones and parts is what you're saying and critical parts. Yeah

426
00:43:46,240 --> 00:43:52,680
Yeah, so it's like where you're gonna get like a your US made processors and motors and everything

427
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:56,720
Yeah, that's That's like yours out. I think

428
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,840
At the least yeah, we'll see how it goes if kind of ever

429
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:03,760
That'll be interesting. We'll see how it goes man

430
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:14,720
Actually, this is a this is a good question Is this gonna be is this gonna be as good as the is the is the Trump backed drone company gonna be as good as the

431
00:44:14,720 --> 00:44:17,720
Trump phone did that thing ever get did that thing ever get delivered?

432
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:22,720
Let's have a look here. Oh, yeah, it exists today. What is this?

433
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:29,600
Okay, yeah, first ever smartphone is delayed and and the government shutdown is to blame. Oh, okay. Oh nice

434
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,680
That's good. That makes sense. Why does that make sense?

435
00:44:32,720 --> 00:44:34,720
What would that have had to do with anything?

436
00:44:35,720 --> 00:44:42,400
Same coverage as the as the whatever. Okay. Yeah, so they're still pretending that this is gonna be a thing

437
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:48,400
Is there still anything on here about it being like made in the USA or is that is that gone now?

438
00:44:48,720 --> 00:44:50,720
Because at the beginning it really was

439
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:55,080
Built for people who expect more. Okay, it seems like they have removed

440
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,360
They've removed anything about it being American made

441
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:05,760
So it looks like there are some Designed with American values in mind

442
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:12,940
So they have a refurbished s20. Oh, they have additional phones now. They have refurbished

443
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:17,880
phones and then

444
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,200
Okay, proudly American. What does that mean?

445
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:27,400
designed with American values in mind with American hands behind every device

446
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:33,640
It is amazing how much you can pretend to say something and

447
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:38,580
Not say it. It's brought to life here in the USA

448
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:42,080
That doesn't American proud design

449
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:49,600
None of that says or means made in the USA none of it

450
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:57,080
That oh man I don't even know why they care. I don't even know why they bother to pretend

451
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:04,080
Because it's not like anyone's enforcing anything anyway, so they might as well just say it's made in America at this point

452
00:46:05,240 --> 00:46:11,640
Someone linked to this list. Yeah, the blue list. It's a cleared list of drones, but it says specifically

453
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:20,160
It's a cleared list for drones approved for DOW, which I think is Department of War because they renamed Department of Defense

454
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:24,000
sure and there's like there are

455
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:31,920
Skydio drones and and Other various things on here, but I don't I don't know if this is consumer cleared or if this is just

456
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:38,280
Department of War cleared. I'm unsure. It's great kitty kitty says don't try to understand the grift. It's just a grift

457
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:43,160
It's like closely inspecting a brown paper bag when you doorstep. You already know what it is

458
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:47,920
Yeah, that's fair

459
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:52,960
Comical sort of

460
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,760
Well, we could do a tech house update. Yeah, I was there today

461
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:05,880
We took possession Three days ago, and I didn't get a chance to go there until we did our shoot today

462
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:10,040
So if you haven't been keeping up there was a video on the LTT channel

463
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:15,440
Where we went shopping for a tech house and the idea behind it was pretty straightforward

464
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:19,880
We've done a lot of kind of upgrades in in my house

465
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:26,600
to the point where my house is fine and We don't we don't oh, yeah, are your auto lights fine?

466
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,760
No, well, no, but that will that will fix actually

467
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:34,840
Invelli's shipment of new lights with millimeter wave detection

468
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:38,960
That are gonna be way better and I'm really excited about have lots of fixes compared to the ones

469
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:43,080
I'm using now is like in customs clearance right now like I am

470
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:51,600
Stoked to finally have the lighting experience that I promised my family years ago. Anyway, that's besides the point right now

471
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:58,560
The point is we don't need to make another video of Linus upgrades is living room TV every other month

472
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,160
my my living room TV is fine and

473
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:07,360
So this tech house is gonna give us kind of like a it's almost like a test bench

474
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:11,280
it's it's like at the computer test bench of like

475
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:20,560
not just smart home stuff because I think there's there's kind of a limited audience for people who are interested in home automation, but also just

476
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:27,160
practical deployments of technology whether it's computers or TVs or

477
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:36,180
Audio equipment or I mean Okay, do you remember that video that you did years ago on using a projector for like tabletop gaming? Oh

478
00:48:37,240 --> 00:48:41,720
Whoa, okay. Yeah Okay, bit of a

479
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:49,160
Bit of a deep what would what what I wasn't trying to cut anybody no no deep cut means like an old reference

480
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:57,360
I don't think it does. I Think it does. No, I think it means like like a wound. What am I trying to think of that? I don't know

481
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:03,520
Bit of a deep cut refers to a significant wound that might need medical attention

482
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:09,480
No, like the whole chat is saying that I'm right Luke does know this one really. Yeah, it's just slang. Oh

483
00:49:10,720 --> 00:49:16,600
Okay, I thought I thought it's like I thought it was like a like a like a stab don't twist like that's a bit of a deep

484
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:20,040
That's a bit of a deep cut. I'm sure it is also used for that

485
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:24,040
Okay, a bit of a deep cut slang meaning

486
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:30,760
On the record a deep cut is a song judged to be less commercial or radio friendly I

487
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:36,080
Like genuinely the entire chat if there's got to be something to it

488
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:44,480
Urban dictionary a song by an artist boomer dictionary at this point only true fans of set artist will enjoy or no

489
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:57,640
Okay Song obscure work. Okay. Well, that's clearly closer to your definition than it is to mine. So sure. Yeah. Yeah

490
00:49:57,640 --> 00:49:59,640
Let's go on boomer dictionary

491
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:06,880
Anyway, it's just it's just I don't think that video like did well and it's super old. Oh, yeah

492
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:11,040
So it's just a surprise. I don't even know what I would type in to search for it. Yeah, don't worry about it

493
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:15,160
The point is that like we we want to we want to

494
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:23,520
Use this place as an opportunity to talk about building a sick tabletop gaming space sweet or building a super cool

495
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:30,160
Really cool stuff you can do these days. Oh, I know projector game thing has been like very leveled up

496
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:40,040
There's there's some really awesome stuff you can do. Yeah, and so so pretty much what we were looking for was a place with really good bones and

497
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:43,080
with

498
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:47,420
Reasonable ease of use for upgrading them

499
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:54,560
Because okay. Yeah, it might have been more realistic for us to find a place that didn't have a crawl space for instance

500
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:59,400
Right that we were gonna be ripping off drywall for absolutely every single wire

501
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,520
We were gonna run stuff like that, right, but that's not

502
00:51:03,720 --> 00:51:11,520
We're not a home renovation channel. This is our first kind of kick at this can we wanted something that we could

503
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:22,920
We wanted something to cut our teeth on so we got a place that not only has a really nice crawl space under the entire main floor

504
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:31,160
Which is Sick, that'll be sick for doing this type of stuff. Yeah, it's it's not tall like in order for me to get down there

505
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,160
I have to be

506
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:40,320
Completely almost like like butt down to the ground and that's like here. So you're pretty much crawling

507
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:48,440
It's a literal crawl space good name But it also has a it has a little like I think it's called a dormer like it has one room

508
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:54,560
That's on the second story in in the front and we're gonna we're thinking we're gonna convert that to like a media room

509
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:59,640
And then it has a couple little Crawl pathways along the side of that as well

510
00:51:59,720 --> 00:52:07,240
So it's got really really good access to getting fishing wiring down or up into wall spaces

511
00:52:07,240 --> 00:52:11,360
and it's actually This video is gonna be really fun because in the first one

512
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:15,320
We just kind of do a high-level overview because we're just touring it because we were shopping

513
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:21,560
Whereas in this one we really start digging into some of the really weird stuff the previous owner did

514
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:33,960
Like he was obviously In a different way a pretty techie guy. Okay, one of the bedrooms has I kid you not three RJ 11 jacks in it

515
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:41,160
There's all like like like a phone. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's also an RJ 11 jack next to the toilet

516
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:48,120
No, okay, that that that was a thing very odd, but yeah, that was I've always thought that's weird

517
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:51,240
Yeah, to have a like what happened to my you just unplugged my head. Oh, sorry

518
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:57,560
Man, no to have a like a a phone in your bathroom. Oh

519
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:02,280
Man What happened?

520
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:09,800
It's fine don't worry, but oh that we're good the Wanshoe quality is not going to get

521
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:18,000
Yeah, yeah toilet phones were were a thing for sure I I always thought it's kind of

522
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:27,200
Pretty unsanitary personally sure yeah putting it on your face. I get it there. I can see both ways. Yeah, sure, but it's

523
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:36,720
The three in the bedroom That's interesting. Yeah, I couldn't quite wrap my brain around it. He had a CD player in his kitchen, which I thought was pretty cool. Nice

524
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:41,240
Man, there's oh my god, I swear

525
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:44,440
Wasn't there like I think I saw in the video you could like play music

526
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:52,360
Throughout the house on like the on that CD player. I think so. Yeah one out of every three like like duplex receptacles

527
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:57,240
Like power outlets had one of those six gang ones like bolted on to it

528
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:02,200
He was a major fan of power strips and extension cords like

529
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:12,600
He had that he had an interesting System where you could only run either the dryer the clothes dryer or you could run this extension cord

530
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:18,440
240 volt outlet that he had just like coiled up using in-wall wire and just like

531
00:54:19,240 --> 00:54:24,240
Into an octagonal box like thing that he had in his garage

532
00:54:24,240 --> 00:54:29,920
So you had like a 240 volt extension cord in his garage that you could not run at the same time as the dryer

533
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:35,200
And he had a kind of sick a sign above the dryer in German not to run it at the same time as the one in the garage

534
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:38,660
Kind of sick. Yeah, like it's honestly like

535
00:54:39,240 --> 00:54:45,040
People are saying it sounds bad. I don't know enough about that being like dangerous or not, but it sounds pretty great. Oh, it's it's

536
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:48,880
that Let me put it this way. I

537
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:54,120
Think this guy's idea of safety first was the four fire extinguishers that he had in his garage

538
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:56,640
I

539
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:03,880
Rather than just I don't know not starting a fire in the first one

540
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:09,720
Like he would just he'd be like, yeah, I'd love to have a cable outside the house

541
00:55:09,720 --> 00:55:11,880
So I'm gonna just take a big long drill bit

542
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:16,320
And go through the wall like that was his way and

543
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:21,560
He's got like a shed in the back. He he had a bit of an infestation

544
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:28,400
So we found that in the inspection report which Colton did not share with me until after we

545
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:33,560
I mean a lot of the place around here bought it and took possession. So anyway, this ain't Alberta

546
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:37,960
Yeah, infestation major infestation. His solution was these little

547
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:42,000
Noisemakers that you plug into. Yeah, they were like everywhere

548
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:47,480
Yeah, I didn't didn't help obviously. Yeah, so I'm kind of thinking tech house cat

549
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:51,640
We just get a pet nice and keep it there and then that'll take care of it

550
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:55,080
Colton doesn't want to do that though. He wants to like hire an exterminator. I think that's so dumb. I

551
00:55:55,840 --> 00:56:02,160
Think a cat would take care of any rodent issues around this house like quick styles

552
00:56:02,720 --> 00:56:07,800
Dude, I don't I don't see. Oh, I shouldn't say that I have seen mice in my house

553
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:16,400
They were dead or in a fish tank thing. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, those were pets. It was complicated

554
00:56:17,720 --> 00:56:21,280
They're temporary pets and eventually they were dead. So

555
00:56:22,240 --> 00:56:26,120
The system clearly works. It did it worked exceptionally well in that case

556
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:31,120
Yeah, Linus just wants another cat. I mean

557
00:56:34,240 --> 00:56:36,240
Yeah, another cat's not a bad thing

558
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:45,120
I'm not trying to think what what else is there to say about it Oh, there were some other things that were found in the inspection report that I found out about today

559
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:50,800
Yeah, are you saying those? Yeah, sure. Apparently there's particularly bad. Yeah, you know about the foundation issue. Yeah

560
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:55,880
Foundation and drainage issues. So oh, I didn't know about the drainage one, too

561
00:56:55,880 --> 00:57:00,280
Yeah, usually they as far as my understanding goes they often go hand-in-hand, but yikes

562
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:03,800
So I guess we're gonna have to I guess we're gonna have to figure that out

563
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:07,560
But dude, I'm I'm excited. This does sound like

564
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:11,240
Bought a house in Vancouver

565
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:17,880
Vibes Not Vancouver, but I'm saying that for the greater Vancouver area public audience, but

566
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:24,280
Sort of how it goes a lot of them have infestations a lot of them are old and have foundational problems

567
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:29,080
A lot of them have previous owners who just kind of you'll load stuff. Oh, yeah, there's a lot of that

568
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:35,720
Yeah, unlike Australia where it's like apparently illegal to make improvements to your own house if you're not certified

569
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:40,240
You know about this. You don't know about this thing. That sounds annoying. Well, yeah

570
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:44,320
But the flip side is that I bet they probably don't have stuff like we saw in this house

571
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:47,400
I mean their housing market is just wrecked. So I

572
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:52,760
Mean, so I really yeah, so yeah, there's that. Yeah

573
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:59,160
Maybe I misunderstood that anyone anyone from upside down land can can verify for me

574
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:07,040
Anybody anybody beller? Dylan K. A says I have an illegal back deck in Oz didn't get council approval

575
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:11,400
Apparently electrical is a no-no. Yeah says old Tom. There you go

576
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:14,720
100% true in some ways. Okay. Yeah, there you go

577
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:18,040
Me Gors says would you trust a criminal to fix their own home?

578
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:23,520
They're not all criminals. They're just descended from them

579
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:29,920
Total different totally different ballgame. Okay, I think that's a good one

580
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:34,740
Totally different ballgame. Okay, I don't believe in the sins of the father. Okay, that's not how this works

581
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:39,640
So dude this place is like downright scary some of it

582
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:44,760
Like I found this bought this like rotten box in the backyard that just had an outlet in it

583
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:51,440
That there's no way that it was like watertight and that outlet had one of those freaking six

584
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:58,280
This in the yard like why you didn't even have more than one thing plugged into it

585
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:04,640
So why he just he just put them everywhere just put them on everything. Oh god

586
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:10,200
No, please stop. He just really liked his power. I think James said that he had two built-in Vax

587
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:14,800
One that ran to like a couple spots and then one that was running somewhere else

588
00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:18,600
I didn't actually verify that I didn't I didn't double-check that because it didn't make any sense to me

589
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:24,560
But maybe he's right Maybe he's right. I don't know. Yeah, we'll see. It's gonna be cool though

590
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:27,880
It's gonna be I think it's gonna be a lot of fun. I

591
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:36,680
As I was walking around half of me was really excited about all the cool projects that we can do and then the other half of me was like

592
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:44,120
Oh God have we bit off more than we can chew like it's obvious that there's a couple little things that they did

593
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:48,420
Just to prep the place for sale. They they like they just

594
00:59:49,420 --> 00:59:58,700
Obviously redid the the main bedroom on sweet bathroom like like all modern it has a sliding barn door

595
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:08,140
Like they're so that they don't lock any sound they don't lock any smell

596
01:00:08,140 --> 01:00:14,260
It feels like you're declaring that this door will always be open and then it has the case like just have it be a pocket door

597
01:00:14,260 --> 01:00:20,900
And then we can ignore it or just have it not be a door I guess. Yeah, that's an option too. Yeah, you could just be like all those hotel rooms that just

598
01:00:21,460 --> 01:00:26,460
Don't have a bathroom door because apparently, you know, every couple in the world wants to watch each other shit

599
01:00:26,660 --> 01:00:29,780
Yeah, which I don't I don't fully understand

600
01:00:30,180 --> 01:00:34,140
Like I'm not gonna I'm not gonna yuck your yum or whatever, but like I

601
01:00:35,020 --> 01:00:39,820
Just don't need it Yum

602
01:00:40,420 --> 01:00:42,420
So

603
01:00:47,500 --> 01:00:52,500
Yeah, what was I gonna say about it? Yeah, right, so they redid the main on sweet bathroom and it looks

604
01:00:53,340 --> 01:00:57,220
So out of place like just completely out of place

605
01:00:57,220 --> 01:01:02,380
They did like a like a like a granite or marble countertop and then like this new shower of that

606
01:01:02,980 --> 01:01:05,940
David Pankratz was there today. He was like, oh, that's a Costco shower

607
01:01:06,660 --> 01:01:13,140
Okay, yeah, and then and so they did that they put in a bunch of new like vinyl plank flooring in some places

608
01:01:13,140 --> 01:01:17,380
And then they just left the like pink carpet or whatever it is. It was 90s. It was the 90s

609
01:01:17,380 --> 01:01:23,980
It was a different time. They just left that other places pink carpet was a thing and then they but then apparently the

610
01:01:24,220 --> 01:01:34,460
inspection report found that It was either the on sweet or it was the the main floor bathtub is just draining directly into the crawl space. Oh

611
01:01:35,940 --> 01:01:45,340
Yeah So like, huh? They could be it's completely cosmetic. I found a can of paint in one of the closets that just says all walls

612
01:01:46,780 --> 01:01:54,220
So like classic throw a coat of paint on it redo the main on sweet bathroom

613
01:01:54,700 --> 01:02:00,300
Put some vinyl plank down Slap some lipstick on this pig and get this thing sold and

614
01:02:01,300 --> 01:02:07,220
We bought it nice. Yeah, to be fair. I think that was going to be the situation

615
01:02:07,820 --> 01:02:10,460
For all of the places that you're looking at at that price point

616
01:02:11,060 --> 01:02:17,460
Yeah, more or less. I mean, no, we did find stuff that was not that much more that was

617
01:02:17,780 --> 01:02:22,540
Pretty moving ready, but we also didn't want something moving ready. You wanted to work on stuff

618
01:02:22,540 --> 01:02:28,140
Yeah, we didn't want to go into a place that was perfectly nice. How much was it? Is that disclose throw away a bunch of stuff?

619
01:02:28,740 --> 01:02:31,700
I mean, I think people could find it easily enough

620
01:02:32,700 --> 01:02:36,980
So it was actually I don't know what the final I don't know what we paid

621
01:02:36,980 --> 01:02:44,460
Okay, because I know that we did negotiate because of like, oh, yeah, your foundation has problems and like that can be a pretty big one

622
01:02:44,460 --> 01:02:52,420
and your and your Like drainage has issues and there's all this stuff. That's not up to code like I think there was a bit of negotiation

623
01:02:52,420 --> 01:02:54,740
But I think the list price was 1.3

624
01:02:55,580 --> 01:03:01,220
Okay, yeah, so there's definitely ones there. There's very there's very move-in ready stuff

625
01:03:01,220 --> 01:03:05,420
Yeah, but this I thought it was like pretty lower than that, but this place has a yard

626
01:03:07,260 --> 01:03:11,820
Which is not a given around here No, and it's a it's like a reasonable sized house

627
01:03:11,820 --> 01:03:15,980
You think with the amount of space Canada has that we would make that a thing but nope

628
01:03:15,980 --> 01:03:20,100
Well, you know, here's the thing right like are you gonna show the map of BC?

629
01:03:20,100 --> 01:03:25,420
Yeah, I'm gonna show I'm gonna show the map of BC to educate the masses. Yeah, so Canada is really big

630
01:03:25,540 --> 01:03:28,300
But also the Mercator projector

631
01:03:29,180 --> 01:03:34,340
Projection makes it seem a lot bigger than it is if you actually look at like like on a round globe

632
01:03:34,340 --> 01:03:38,340
Okay, it's still really big. It's still really big, but it's also like it's not

633
01:03:38,940 --> 01:03:43,420
That big like remember remember the news cycle recently those like hey

634
01:03:43,420 --> 01:03:49,900
Does anyone actually know that Africa is like enormous enormous and that Europe is like not

635
01:03:51,100 --> 01:03:57,740
Cuz like, you know like Africa is like not that much smaller than like frickin Asia like it's frickin huge

636
01:03:58,020 --> 01:04:00,980
Like did anyone did anyone realize, you know any of this?

637
01:04:01,020 --> 01:04:05,860
Do anyone know that Brazil is like frickin the size of the US pretty much?

638
01:04:06,700 --> 01:04:12,500
Not not quite, but like on a Mercator projection map. They these things do not look right

639
01:04:13,780 --> 01:04:18,340
Anyway, the point is that while Canada is very large indeed

640
01:04:18,580 --> 01:04:20,820
I'm just gonna go ahead and put the old

641
01:04:23,100 --> 01:04:26,940
Mountain rain terrain on here that the top of the top of my

642
01:04:27,700 --> 01:04:30,460
ography so yeah, here's a big part of our problem

643
01:04:31,580 --> 01:04:38,980
There is like One that like this little thing tiny flat part of British Columbia

644
01:04:40,660 --> 01:04:43,940
And and it's just all it's all just

645
01:04:44,660 --> 01:04:48,460
There's like there's like a little there's a little valley here

646
01:04:49,340 --> 01:04:57,060
There's another one here The this one's kind of part of the same one and then up here is just here be ice dragons

647
01:04:58,700 --> 01:05:07,900
Basically for all of this And then yeah, we have some we have some planes that also are full of ice dragons for half of the year and

648
01:05:08,380 --> 01:05:12,100
then you can kind of you go south enough that it's livable again for a bit and

649
01:05:13,020 --> 01:05:17,780
Then here be mountains again And more ice dragons

650
01:05:26,380 --> 01:05:31,620
Yeah, whereas like in America they do they do have mountains

651
01:05:33,060 --> 01:05:37,740
You know they have a lot of the same problem as us sort of through this area here

652
01:05:37,740 --> 01:05:43,820
But then they also have just like oh wow look at all this like perfectly flat not infested with ice dragons

653
01:05:44,020 --> 01:05:46,980
Land that is really useful a lot of wind dragons

654
01:05:47,460 --> 01:05:54,540
That's true. Definitely wind and and rain dragons. Yeah, they got their own kinds of dragons down there. Yeah

655
01:05:58,260 --> 01:06:03,340
Oh, yeah, I guess we could do that so yeah excited for tech house it's gonna be great I

656
01:06:04,340 --> 01:06:09,740
Am not gonna think about it too much right now because I got CES next week, but I'm gonna get back and it's gonna be fun

657
01:06:10,500 --> 01:06:12,500
How'd you get out of CES anyway? I?

658
01:06:16,180 --> 01:06:25,420
Was kind of looking at the year and going like okay There's two like CES like shows that are in heavy-contention basically you just want to go to Computex. Yeah

659
01:06:26,540 --> 01:06:28,540
I'm gonna bring Nick and Lucas

660
01:06:29,860 --> 01:06:31,860
And we're gonna try to go see

661
01:06:33,340 --> 01:06:41,220
I'm trying to talk to some brands There's a couple brands that are that are interested in doing this right now, but we want to go see

662
01:06:41,740 --> 01:06:47,220
You know how we've been doing this like kind of tour of testing and validation and performance testing Labs

663
01:06:47,740 --> 01:06:52,860
We want to go do that, but also in Taiwan. We want to see how they design and test power supplies like at

664
01:06:53,420 --> 01:06:56,740
Their actual location. Oh, that's cool do different things like that

665
01:06:57,740 --> 01:07:04,420
It's Proven a little difficult to get through to companies, but I think it's because we're not super close to Computex

666
01:07:04,420 --> 01:07:11,740
And everybody's focused on CES right now So hopefully after CES the the conversations will kind of prop up, but I was looking at like

667
01:07:13,140 --> 01:07:18,580
You know with no sponsor anything for the Labs side bringing down either myself or

668
01:07:19,300 --> 01:07:25,460
Myself and two others which were the two potential plans and then paying for a flight accommodations

669
01:07:25,700 --> 01:07:29,660
All that kind of stuff for a week. What am I going to get out of this event?

670
01:07:29,660 --> 01:07:35,300
Hmm, and it was like nah, I don't know right can maybe swing one event for the year

671
01:07:35,300 --> 01:07:41,820
Right, and if I can tie on these like potential brand tours of like seeing how these things are performance tested

672
01:07:41,820 --> 01:07:47,500
He's seeing how these things are designed and whatnot to the Computex one that sounds a lot more valuable

673
01:07:48,380 --> 01:07:52,820
So I'm going that angle also you just would rather go to Taiwan

674
01:07:55,660 --> 01:07:59,660
We don't need to discuss that part sure we don't need to discuss it

675
01:08:00,620 --> 01:08:03,700
Because you know and I know that all of that

676
01:08:04,340 --> 01:08:09,900
Whatever that I'm hardly listening to not like Vegas, and I might really love Taiwan

677
01:08:09,900 --> 01:08:15,180
But I think that's irrelevant really really I think my other I might have I might have

678
01:08:15,460 --> 01:08:20,700
Constructed a scenario where one makes a lot more sense than the other one. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was what

679
01:08:20,700 --> 01:08:26,520
It might also be very reasonable. Yeah, it might be a plausible even structure plausible you might say

680
01:08:28,980 --> 01:08:33,980
It might be almost entirely designed to get Nick and Lucas there because I already had mechanisms to get myself

681
01:08:33,980 --> 01:08:37,820
That's it your justification can be whatever it wants to be. I'm not gonna

682
01:08:38,580 --> 01:08:40,580
crash out

683
01:08:41,980 --> 01:08:48,940
What a what a segue dude and what a first merch drop of the year the crash out t-shirt

684
01:08:49,020 --> 01:08:51,020
Yeah, I guess I can also

685
01:08:54,980 --> 01:08:58,740
There it is boys you ever have those moments where for like

686
01:08:59,300 --> 01:09:05,900
Half a second Throwing your laptop across the room feels like a totally reasonable troubleshooting step

687
01:09:06,380 --> 01:09:11,420
Me too and that's what this shirt is for when your patience is basically gone

688
01:09:11,420 --> 01:09:14,820
And you're still pushing through it anyway. It comes in tall

689
01:09:14,860 --> 01:09:20,960
It's printed on our super comfortable blank t-shirts and comes in both regular and tall

690
01:09:21,660 --> 01:09:26,540
if this shirt feels uncomfortably relatable for you you can get yours at

691
01:09:28,300 --> 01:09:33,140
LMG.gg Crash out

692
01:09:33,140 --> 01:09:40,900
So here it is on the global store also available on the US store and it looks a little something like that

693
01:09:41,900 --> 01:09:46,740
Get it in any size you want and any length you want as long as it's black

694
01:09:48,100 --> 01:09:51,300
What else do we have for the store this week? Ah, yes

695
01:09:51,700 --> 01:09:58,980
This is less of a this product is available and more of a this product is coming extremely soon

696
01:09:59,300 --> 01:10:07,980
Be ready LTT true spec cables are coming these cables are crafted with care

697
01:10:08,220 --> 01:10:14,340
Built with a strain relief that bends with the cable instead of against it reducing stress where breakage often happens

698
01:10:14,900 --> 01:10:21,660
We have paired that strain relief with a supple silicone jacket that resists UV damage kinks and tangles and

699
01:10:22,300 --> 01:10:29,740
the high-speed conductors are Actually here. Can I bring that up on your screen? Yep, and the high-speed conductors are

700
01:10:30,420 --> 01:10:35,500
Individually shielded to reduce interference and keep your transfers running

701
01:10:36,020 --> 01:10:43,580
every connection feels effortless and Every performance remains uncompromised whatever the second part of that sentence

702
01:10:44,580 --> 01:10:51,220
uncompromised performance and We feel that the right cable should fit your setup not the other way around

703
01:10:51,540 --> 01:10:56,620
So whether you need a short run for your desk or a longer reach that goes across the room

704
01:10:57,100 --> 01:11:04,620
We will have an option that will work for you each connection type USB A to C and USB-C to C

705
01:11:04,780 --> 01:11:09,940
comes in 16 thoughtfully chosen speed and length combinations and

706
01:11:10,460 --> 01:11:16,300
Every cable is clearly marked You might want to give them a little zoom on that for speed and power

707
01:11:16,740 --> 01:11:23,060
Giving you the confidence to know that the performance you expect is the performance you will get

708
01:11:23,460 --> 01:11:29,540
You can sign up to be notified once these drop at LMG dot GG slash cable

709
01:11:29,980 --> 01:11:33,940
Sign up now It is worth noting that you guys might look at that

710
01:11:34,300 --> 01:11:40,300
15 watts on the one that was on the left and go well that seems pretty weak at a time when you can do up to

711
01:11:40,580 --> 01:11:48,380
240 watts on a USB cable That's because that has a type A connector at one end and when we say true spec cables

712
01:11:48,380 --> 01:11:57,860
We mean that we are remaining true to the spec So there are technically products that exist within the USB ecosystem that are not to spec

713
01:11:58,420 --> 01:12:02,780
Extensions for instance exist, but from chatting with Tynan about it

714
01:12:04,580 --> 01:12:11,020
They are not spec like there there is no accounting for the connector losses and

715
01:12:11,620 --> 01:12:17,940
And the and the losses from the length that we're adding to these cables when you plug a cable into an extension

716
01:12:18,660 --> 01:12:25,500
You just got to like pray to Thor that it's gonna work because that's about your best shot of ensuring that it's going to and that

717
01:12:25,500 --> 01:12:32,020
Doesn't mean that it won't work. It just means that it might not so we are sticking with whatever the

718
01:12:33,220 --> 01:12:35,620
We're sticking with whatever the maximum

719
01:12:36,420 --> 01:12:40,300
official specced power and data transfer is

720
01:12:41,300 --> 01:12:44,460
Within the USB specification for any given length

721
01:12:44,700 --> 01:12:47,900
So what you might notice is that our longer cables

722
01:12:48,460 --> 01:12:53,860
Even using the same connectors at the ends might be rated for a slower data speed

723
01:12:54,340 --> 01:12:59,620
That doesn't mean that you might not get a better data speed if you happen to have, you know

724
01:13:00,260 --> 01:13:08,020
really tolerant Devices at either end, but we aren't gonna guarantee it. We're all about true spec on these

725
01:13:09,020 --> 01:13:11,660
I really like the name personally. Yeah

726
01:13:12,380 --> 01:13:15,540
Yeah, I think it makes a tiny. I think it makes a ton of sense

727
01:13:17,140 --> 01:13:22,900
Frosty keogre says the markings nice. I had to sharp your label onto my only 10 gigabit per second capable cable

728
01:13:22,900 --> 01:13:28,860
Yeah, right like it's so annoying So that was a big part of where this came from is like in my life

729
01:13:28,860 --> 01:13:33,100
I have a thousand USB cables, but never the one I actually need in a given moment and

730
01:13:34,460 --> 01:13:39,580
Whether it's that they're not rated for a particularly high speed and I'm doing a big transfer and I'm like

731
01:13:39,580 --> 01:13:44,140
Oh god, is it faster to go get another cable and restart it or is it faster to just wait for this to finish?

732
01:13:44,140 --> 01:13:49,740
I don't know or whether you get one of those ones that only has the conductors for charging in it and you like

733
01:13:50,340 --> 01:13:54,500
You to plug it into your phone and you're like, is it is it my phone being weird?

734
01:13:54,500 --> 01:14:00,020
Like it's not in data transfer mode or is or okay. I'll go get another device or is it this cable? I don't I

735
01:14:01,100 --> 01:14:06,140
Just want to eliminate uncertainty from my life. So with the LTT cables I

736
01:14:10,180 --> 01:14:18,220
Know that whatever I'm holding a type C to type C at this length is whatever the best cable could be for that

737
01:14:18,900 --> 01:14:25,100
And I'm G to G. So this is this is a longer one. So this is a 20 gigabit per second

738
01:14:25,660 --> 01:14:29,500
240 watt is trying to show how long I see. Oh, yeah, sure. Why not? I mean, it's gonna go

739
01:14:29,500 --> 01:14:35,900
So I think this is what a six footer or something like that Looks like it. Oh, it might be a little longer. Yeah

740
01:14:35,900 --> 01:14:42,580
Anyway, this is the one that I carry around for for charging my laptop and it is worth noting that we are not doing

741
01:14:42,980 --> 01:14:47,780
Thunderbolt cables at this time. So these are all at most

742
01:14:48,700 --> 01:14:50,700
USB for VGA

743
01:14:52,180 --> 01:14:59,180
VGA you don't mean like actual VGA. You mean like display cables, right? Yeah VGA. Yeah, so we're

744
01:14:59,980 --> 01:15:03,340
So we are not doing display cables at this time

745
01:15:04,100 --> 01:15:08,420
See how well these go I guess we're gonna see how we got a we're this is something

746
01:15:08,420 --> 01:15:13,900
I think people often a new segment dude. Uh, speaking of people often forgetting. This is 16 skews

747
01:15:14,220 --> 01:15:20,220
We are a pretty small company and this is 16 skews. No, this is 16 lengths for each connector type double it

748
01:15:20,940 --> 01:15:25,100
This is 32 skews Oh, that doesn't that isn't what it sounds like

749
01:15:27,260 --> 01:15:32,620
Oh, I understand for each connection. Yeah, all right. Wow. So so what a lot of people forget

750
01:15:33,180 --> 01:15:40,220
Is that in the grand scheme of things? We are actually still a pretty small company. So we need to we're dipping our toes in

751
01:15:40,620 --> 01:15:45,020
We're gonna start with USB and then we're gonna make sure that people actually

752
01:15:45,420 --> 01:15:50,140
You know care and are willing to pay for, you know, a silicone jacketed

753
01:15:50,700 --> 01:15:54,460
Um, I'm gonna be properly shielded high quality cable

754
01:15:54,860 --> 01:15:58,860
And if people care about that then we would love to explore

755
01:15:59,420 --> 01:16:05,020
Doing htmi DisplayPort. Um, I was carrying one of these that I stole from tine in

756
01:16:05,900 --> 01:16:11,180
Um On a bunch of my trips and I'd show it off all the time and people

757
01:16:12,300 --> 01:16:17,260
Who liked it? It's very nice. Yeah, but just because people like it and just because it's very nice

758
01:16:17,340 --> 01:16:23,660
Doesn't mean it will be necessarily sell commercially successful So we've really just got to wait and we got to see how it goes and that's how you

759
01:16:24,220 --> 01:16:28,140
That's how you kind of build. That's how you build a business. That's how you build momentum. What?

760
01:16:29,100 --> 01:16:34,300
Actually got a merch message asking about display cables. Maybe we want to have a look at that one, too

761
01:16:34,780 --> 01:16:39,820
Which ones? Uh, asking about display cables. That's what we were talking about this whole time Dan

762
01:16:40,220 --> 01:16:44,540
No, I mean this has more Specifics if you know what I mean

763
01:16:44,540 --> 01:16:48,220
Oh, uh, sure. Yeah, why don't we do that merch message then if you guys are oh, right

764
01:16:48,620 --> 01:16:54,380
So if you want to get notified once these drop because I can tell you that our initial order quantity

765
01:16:54,780 --> 01:16:58,300
We have no idea which lengths are going to be the big sellers

766
01:16:58,620 --> 01:17:02,860
We went a little tentative on things So if you want to get what you want to get

767
01:17:03,340 --> 01:17:06,540
Go to LMG.gg slash cable sign up

768
01:17:07,180 --> 01:17:11,900
Make sure that you're on the newsletter and you will be notified as soon as these drop

769
01:17:11,980 --> 01:17:15,660
We have taken our time with this. We have done it carefully

770
01:17:16,140 --> 01:17:22,780
Done it thoughtfully and I'm actually really really proud of this product. I'm very very excited to launch this super cool

771
01:17:23,180 --> 01:17:27,820
Okay, so yeah, why don't we why don't we do merch messages? If you're not familiar with the show

772
01:17:27,980 --> 01:17:32,540
Merch messages are the way that you interact with it instead of just throwing money at your screen

773
01:17:32,860 --> 01:17:37,180
You throw money at lttstore.com which luke is going to bring up on his laptop right now

774
01:17:37,420 --> 01:17:43,260
Which is of course a razor laptop laptop partner. There you go. Yep. Yep. Look. This is what their logo looks like when it's upside down

775
01:17:49,260 --> 01:17:54,380
Anyway, just go ahead add something to your cart maybe our new crash out t-shirt and

776
01:17:55,180 --> 01:18:03,340
Instead of yeah throwing money at your screen You can throw money at lttstore.com get quality merchandise in return and you can leave a merch message

777
01:18:03,660 --> 01:18:09,020
So you just add something to your cart go ahead leave a merch message You can color code it however you like you can keep it anonymous

778
01:18:09,100 --> 01:18:13,660
You can show your first name and last initial and then you go ahead and check out it'll go through to

779
01:18:14,140 --> 01:18:20,540
producer Dan who will Reply to it or who will just like put it up down here or who will

780
01:18:21,100 --> 01:18:24,860
Curate it for me and luke to talk about so we'll show you how that works

781
01:18:25,740 --> 01:18:28,140
Yeah, so I did get one asking about the

782
01:18:29,100 --> 01:18:33,180
Display cables. Hey there you talked about your cables a few shows back and I was wondering

783
01:18:33,500 --> 01:18:42,060
What might or would come earlier a DisplayPort cable with a chip or an HDMI cable with the fees and development costs and all of that

784
01:18:42,620 --> 01:18:52,220
That is such a good question. That is a good question What I suspect is that we'd probably get into HDMI with the fees before we would get into a

785
01:18:52,780 --> 01:18:54,940
usb cable with a chip

786
01:18:55,900 --> 01:19:04,300
Although this could come down to what our manufacturing partner has more ready to go because even though this exact

787
01:19:05,260 --> 01:19:12,140
Design does not exist elsewhere that we are aware of because no one would be crazy enough to build a cable like this

788
01:19:12,380 --> 01:19:18,700
You're still working with uh, we are still obviously working with a factory that makes cables and they have certain capabilities

789
01:19:19,900 --> 01:19:26,380
And so if they already have a lot of expertise on the Thunderbolt chip side of things then yeah doing a Thunderbolt chipped

790
01:19:27,100 --> 01:19:33,180
Cable might make a ton of sense Or if they have a ton of experience on the HDMI side that might make more sense

791
01:19:33,740 --> 01:19:38,940
Tynan's actually been working with them a little bit. Oh, actually kato s is right

792
01:19:39,500 --> 01:19:45,580
Um, we they do have a chip, but it's it's not an active cable. So that's the clarification here

793
01:19:45,740 --> 01:19:49,740
Yeah, pd does require it to communicate with devices. What his capabilities are

794
01:19:50,060 --> 01:19:55,020
I do appreciate that kato s was like these are true spec. They say they have a thing that means they have a chip

795
01:19:55,900 --> 01:20:04,140
So When I say chip, I mean a Thunderbolt chip, uh, which we do not have at this time. Why is wrong again headline? Yeah, I know, right

796
01:20:05,100 --> 01:20:10,700
So it's going to depend on what their capabilities are and it's also going to depend on what the demand is, right?

797
01:20:10,700 --> 01:20:15,740
Like if every other message coming in is like, hey love true spec cables. I love the ones that I have

798
01:20:16,300 --> 01:20:21,020
I want HDMI cables. Then yeah, maybe maybe that'll be something that we'll explore

799
01:20:21,820 --> 01:20:29,900
I would say that The reason that we tackled usb a to c and c to c first is because that's where we see

800
01:20:30,380 --> 01:20:33,660
The most value for the true spec product philosophy

801
01:20:34,860 --> 01:20:37,580
In Thunderbolt cables. I haven't had the same

802
01:20:39,020 --> 01:20:47,180
Problems, um, I haven't had quite the same experience with cables not being what I expect them to be because generally speaking Thunderbolt cables are

803
01:20:48,060 --> 01:20:51,740
quite max spec cables

804
01:20:51,740 --> 01:20:55,420
And same goes for HDMI there's

805
01:20:55,420 --> 01:20:58,460
It's kind of confusing labeling because you know

806
01:20:59,260 --> 01:21:04,380
4k generally means HDMI 1.4 if I recall correctly

807
01:21:04,940 --> 01:21:12,940
And then like 4k 60 I think means 2.0 4k 120 and then like or no 8k means 2.0

808
01:21:13,260 --> 01:21:17,660
I look the point is they have labeling. It's just like kind of stupid

809
01:21:18,220 --> 01:21:23,340
um And a lot of the time you don't even necessarily need the better one

810
01:21:24,300 --> 01:21:31,420
Because if it's a short enough run, it doesn't really matter a lot of the time the the older cables will still like totally work

811
01:21:31,740 --> 01:21:35,420
Other times they won't though and you'll get like weird cutouts and stuff like that

812
01:21:36,140 --> 01:21:39,740
Like they are digital signals. So um, I would never

813
01:21:40,300 --> 01:21:45,340
snake oil market these and say like You connect this between your mp3 player

814
01:21:45,820 --> 01:21:51,900
Or you're you connect between your DAC and your computer and you'll you'll hear the digital bits better or whatever that is

815
01:21:52,300 --> 01:21:55,260
Bullshit. No, but I've heard like

816
01:21:56,540 --> 01:22:02,220
I think this was in Floatplane chat or something somebody mentioned that like connecting their laptop and their deck when doing

817
01:22:02,780 --> 01:22:09,340
DJing sets with like a good quality cable that they can feel like they can rely on more sounds great

818
01:22:09,900 --> 01:22:14,860
It's not that it's going to be a better quality connection No, but knowing that it will work

819
01:22:15,500 --> 01:22:19,340
Is and it's going to be thrown in bags and taken back out a bunch of different times

820
01:22:19,420 --> 01:22:22,940
And they they feel like they can if they can trust it more that has a value to them

821
01:22:22,940 --> 01:22:27,980
Like that's cool That's a a like fairly mission critical connection that I might

822
01:22:28,700 --> 01:22:33,740
Understand someone investing more and to be clear. They're not magic, right? Like this is still

823
01:22:34,380 --> 01:22:37,740
A two-spec usbc connector at the end

824
01:22:37,980 --> 01:22:42,700
Like if it if it plugged into something and you and you don't put any strain relief and you let like

825
01:22:43,100 --> 01:22:47,180
Four feet of this cable dangle off of it. Like it's yeah, it's gonna eventually bend

826
01:22:47,340 --> 01:22:51,100
It'll it'll it'll wear out. Don't be an idiot with your stuff

827
01:22:51,740 --> 01:22:56,460
right But we've built it to be as robust as we can possibly

828
01:22:57,100 --> 01:23:02,860
Make it as as mission as bulletproof as we can practically they're still gonna be something that'll fail and yada yada yada

829
01:23:02,940 --> 01:23:04,940
It's like any product

830
01:23:06,060 --> 01:23:14,860
I know they feel nice And I have been told that there are cases where a digital cable can be used for analog purposes

831
01:23:15,420 --> 01:23:20,300
And there was someone who is super into ham radio at that event that we were at

832
01:23:20,780 --> 01:23:25,500
Do you remember the the LAN at the LAN at the gaming house? Yeah. Yeah

833
01:23:25,820 --> 01:23:30,460
So there was someone there that was really into ham radio and basically when oh, yeah

834
01:23:31,020 --> 01:23:36,700
I remember this. Yeah, we use usb cables because of convenience or something

835
01:23:37,180 --> 01:23:40,220
But we're actually transferring analog

836
01:23:40,860 --> 01:23:47,580
Um, yeah, I didn't understand that at all But they seemed like they knew what they were talking about and so I basically was like, okay

837
01:23:47,980 --> 01:23:54,540
And he was like, yeah, I will be the first one in line to buy a bunch of these because those sound awesome

838
01:23:54,700 --> 01:24:00,300
Yeah, uh, as soon as I was talking about the uh, the high speed lines being individually shielded in there

839
01:24:00,540 --> 01:24:03,020
So that's why she's that's why she's such a thick boy

840
01:24:03,660 --> 01:24:09,980
Right Like that's that's a thick cable. We're not selling this as some kind of like convenient

841
01:24:10,540 --> 01:24:15,740
Lightweight, you know, it no it is I I've used it for like charging my phone in my pocket with a battery bank

842
01:24:15,740 --> 01:24:20,060
That is a questionable use case for this cable to be honest. Yeah, she's heavy, you know at the time

843
01:24:20,060 --> 01:24:23,420
It was just what I had but like it's not the best for that you kind of want

844
01:24:24,860 --> 01:24:28,380
Somewhat of a junky cable to do that job to be honest because you want something

845
01:24:28,620 --> 01:24:34,620
Little small and light and twistable and then you'll throw it away in a month or a couple months because it will wear out

846
01:24:34,620 --> 01:24:38,140
And be a piece of junk or you'll just lose it because you don't really care if that's usually my problem

847
01:24:39,100 --> 01:24:43,100
Yeah, yeah, that's another one Uh, okay, so

848
01:24:43,340 --> 01:24:46,940
Mystery man 321 in Floatplane chat says my dad does ham radio

849
01:24:47,260 --> 01:24:51,580
And he transmits a lot of his ham frequencies over VoIP. He would have loved these

850
01:24:52,460 --> 01:24:57,660
Okay So, yeah, I don't know how that oh, okay. No that I mean that makes sense

851
01:24:57,740 --> 01:25:01,740
I don't I don't know how you send an analog single signal over usb. That sounds really cool

852
01:25:02,700 --> 01:25:09,660
Well, I mean usb is just it's just you know conductors touching other conductors. I mean technically could send anything over it

853
01:25:09,660 --> 01:25:13,260
I understand it's possible clapped k24cord says

854
01:25:13,980 --> 01:25:19,180
Talking about probably using them as antenna of some description with better shielding

855
01:25:19,660 --> 01:25:22,060
It is a problem with cheaper ham antennas

856
01:25:22,860 --> 01:25:28,780
using for antennas This is an entire realm of things that I know practically nothing about

857
01:25:29,580 --> 01:25:33,660
Yeah Okay

858
01:25:33,660 --> 01:25:37,180
Interesting Uh, yeah, me neither

859
01:25:37,580 --> 01:25:41,660
me neither Uh Elinor is asking about

860
01:25:42,380 --> 01:25:46,460
like old 40 pin iPod cables

861
01:25:46,460 --> 01:25:51,660
Oh, yeah, that is not in the plan. Yeah. No, not in the plan

862
01:25:52,780 --> 01:25:57,980
um Yeah, golden sound says you say you're not marketing it for sound quality purposes

863
01:25:57,980 --> 01:26:02,140
But as someone deep in the audio hobby, I'd gladly play for a cable that just works

864
01:26:03,020 --> 01:26:07,900
Uh, I spend a lot of time testing measuring audio gear and crappy usb cables are a plague

865
01:26:08,060 --> 01:26:11,100
Is that the golden sound? Oh, I don't know am I?

866
01:26:12,060 --> 01:26:17,740
Uh, oh, did I just did I just do that thing where I get into an elevator with a celebrity and I don't realize who they are

867
01:26:17,900 --> 01:26:22,540
I mean, I think so Oh crap. Whoops

868
01:26:22,540 --> 01:26:25,660
Yeah, I'm assuming this is the the golden sound

869
01:26:26,140 --> 01:26:30,300
Whoopsie doodles. That's cool. I mean that's super cool. That's that's good to hear

870
01:26:34,140 --> 01:26:36,780
Is this a dcc squad represent

871
01:26:40,940 --> 01:26:47,100
Yeah, that's that's the main thing I've heard from audio people so far like that the the dj thing I referenced, right?

872
01:26:47,340 --> 01:26:50,460
Yeah Is like it's not

873
01:26:50,460 --> 01:26:57,340
It's not going to make it sound better But if these are high importance cables, you might want a good one

874
01:26:58,060 --> 01:27:02,940
I don't know. I don't personally often have usb cables fail. Um, oh, I don't

875
01:27:03,820 --> 01:27:08,140
I have it happen pretty regularly, but okay. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not I mean, I'm not saying that they don't

876
01:27:08,300 --> 01:27:13,660
It's also hard to tell when they do sometimes. That's a good point. Oh, I mean the whole it's oh man

877
01:27:13,660 --> 01:27:19,980
It's been interesting. Wendell has a video on Floatplane. I don't think it's out on youtube yet on what is going on with

878
01:27:20,460 --> 01:27:23,180
dr5 and he doesn't mean in terms of pricing

879
01:27:23,740 --> 01:27:29,900
He means in terms of like overheating and like having weird problems and stuff like that very interesting very cool video

880
01:27:32,860 --> 01:27:36,780
Is this uh, is this what's going on with like the Threadripper pro platform and stuff?

881
01:27:37,340 --> 01:27:41,980
I think it's related to that. Yeah, I don't see it on youtube yet. Okay. Yeah, kelp from falcon northwest was

882
01:27:42,380 --> 01:27:46,300
Talking to me about that as well. So then it's got to be that because he mentions kelp in the video

883
01:27:46,540 --> 01:27:50,380
It's a fantastic video watch it on Floatplane. If you had if you're not a float, basically

884
01:27:50,780 --> 01:27:55,100
Eventually to solve one of the problems that kelp was running into on one of his workstations

885
01:27:55,500 --> 01:28:02,780
He had to he had to reinvent the dominator airflow. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So this is this is that for sure

886
01:28:02,860 --> 01:28:06,700
So like this this stupid thing is uh,

887
01:28:07,340 --> 01:28:10,780
Hold on. I'm gonna I'm gonna find it. It's super cool now because I think it's level one tech

888
01:28:10,860 --> 01:28:13,420
Maybe it was this stupid thing is coming back. Yeah

889
01:28:13,980 --> 01:28:18,460
Yeah, buddy, but it's 3d printed now Well, okay. Yeah, sure, which is awesome

890
01:28:18,620 --> 01:28:24,300
But like it's cringe that we need this stuff But there were several generations of dominator airflow

891
01:28:24,540 --> 01:28:30,300
I don't want to spoil the video because it's Windows work But it's a fantastic video and it explains why we might need this stuff coming back

892
01:28:30,380 --> 01:28:35,660
And like how this could even potentially happen and like the design philosophy and the steps of it and all

893
01:28:36,140 --> 01:28:42,380
amazing video, but um It is it's interesting because it reminded me of Linus torvolds

894
01:28:43,020 --> 01:28:52,460
In the video with you Talking about how like oh, you know, maybe a lot of problems that Windows is blamed for is actually just people having bad RAM

895
01:28:53,180 --> 01:28:56,860
Um, so I don't know. Yeah, maybe there's something going on with usb cables

896
01:28:57,020 --> 01:28:59,980
I'm not going to step in and and pretend that I know a lot about

897
01:29:00,460 --> 01:29:06,220
um usb cables my primary use case for them is charging my phone so

898
01:29:07,980 --> 01:29:18,780
I don't know I see a lot of people in chat just talking about everything from dj-ing to uh, like capturing, um to

899
01:29:19,660 --> 01:29:23,180
What else the people what else are people talking about? Yeah, this is so this isn't them in your truck

900
01:29:23,740 --> 01:29:28,220
Oh, that was a truck one is a big one That was a big part of the reason that we went with silicone

901
01:29:28,860 --> 01:29:33,260
Because I don't know about you guys, but my Android auto cables

902
01:29:33,740 --> 01:29:38,620
This is exactly I talked to my brother about this and my brother does a lot of mods to his truck

903
01:29:38,700 --> 01:29:42,700
And I was talking about like yeah, I don't think you're going to be like replacing all your cables with this

904
01:29:43,020 --> 01:29:47,980
But if you were like replacing your infotainment system and you needed a cable that was going to be in the back

905
01:29:48,060 --> 01:29:50,460
And you just never wanted to have to go replace it

906
01:29:51,100 --> 01:29:54,300
This might be a use case especially if it's going to get any sunlight

907
01:29:54,940 --> 01:29:59,980
And again, it's not magic. We didn't make magic here

908
01:30:00,380 --> 01:30:06,860
You know, if you if you freaking, you know, close your door on it or something and it gets kinged like it, you know

909
01:30:07,660 --> 01:30:13,660
It can break But we did want it to be very resistant to uh to UV

910
01:30:15,820 --> 01:30:18,300
Yeah, and yeah, someone responded

911
01:30:18,860 --> 01:30:24,700
It's not often a cable fails when deejaying, but you need a solid cable because well if it fails the show is temporarily over in your f

912
01:30:26,060 --> 01:30:32,780
Not worth risking it over a five dollar cable. Um, well, hey good news. This won't be a five dollar cable

913
01:30:33,740 --> 01:30:37,420
I don't know if we have uh, I don't know if we have pricing

914
01:30:37,660 --> 01:30:44,460
It won't be that yet, but it won't be five dollars. I can five pound. I guess I technically said I can guarantee it

915
01:30:45,020 --> 01:30:53,020
True spec XLR when Um, see XLR is one of those spaces where again, and maybe this is ignorance on my part

916
01:30:53,340 --> 01:30:57,180
But I just didn't really feel like we were needed as much as we were in

917
01:30:57,740 --> 01:31:00,780
I suspect there are probably more available

918
01:31:01,740 --> 01:31:07,180
Higher quality cables in that space already than the usb space. I mean, I would guess I have no idea

919
01:31:07,340 --> 01:31:11,180
I mean, maybe but I've also think there's been like a heavy

920
01:31:12,060 --> 01:31:15,580
heavy sort of commoditization commodification of

921
01:31:16,140 --> 01:31:20,940
Even like professional cables over the last little while like people are also saying they build their own XLR

922
01:31:20,940 --> 01:31:26,300
Which I do believe is a thing. Oh, I think Dan built a bunch of the XLR cables around our studio. It's even there

923
01:31:26,620 --> 01:31:33,980
Oh, he's not even there Okay, yeah, so I'm sure that if we ever did do a true spec XLR cable

924
01:31:34,060 --> 01:31:37,340
Dan would be happy to tell us what we need to do to do it, right?

925
01:31:37,500 --> 01:31:41,340
Mogami gold dual twisted pair. There you go. That's apparently the one he likes

926
01:31:44,300 --> 01:31:55,180
But that's That's uh, that's a completely separate conversation for the future. Yeah jam mesh says very hard to find quality usb cables on amazon these days

927
01:31:55,580 --> 01:32:01,260
Yeah, the enshrification of amazon has become like kind of a problem

928
01:32:01,580 --> 01:32:07,980
because other places to buy things have been just decimated by amazon's dominance and

929
01:32:08,620 --> 01:32:13,180
amazon hiking up their seller fees storage fees

930
01:32:13,180 --> 01:32:19,500
fulfillment fees and Advertising fees, which you have to pay if you want any exposure for your product whatsoever

931
01:32:20,460 --> 01:32:28,380
Has basically created an environment where the only products that can survive on amazon that have enough margin on amazon are

932
01:32:29,180 --> 01:32:34,540
Super super high margin products, which is just another way of saying super low cost and high price

933
01:32:35,980 --> 01:32:37,980
B

934
01:32:39,500 --> 01:32:43,820
Sure, we could do more topics You want to pick a topic?

935
01:32:43,980 --> 01:32:48,860
You wanted you wanted a new topic you pick it. Oh, should we do sponsors? I feel like oh wait. No

936
01:32:48,860 --> 01:32:54,300
That was I for sometimes I forget that what we're talking about is promoting LTT Store and it's not like a topic

937
01:32:54,300 --> 01:32:58,460
Was that an LTT Store? It was. Yeah, it was and uh merch messages went on for so long

938
01:32:59,180 --> 01:33:04,860
We just ended up talking about cables Yeah, sorry. Oh, wait. No, we're still supposed to do another merch message, Dan

939
01:33:04,940 --> 01:33:09,740
I think we'll probably do another topic now. Oh, sure. Okay. Sure. You want to pick one? Sure

940
01:33:10,540 --> 01:33:17,740
What's apple got for us? Oh, this is cool. Luke. I thought you would like this. You've been thinking of switching over to iphone

941
01:33:19,660 --> 01:33:24,780
What you have Uh, I mean, that's technically true. I guess. Yeah, I have considered it

942
01:33:25,340 --> 01:33:28,860
I don't think it's gonna happen, but I have considered it. I need to prove my humanity pretty quick

943
01:33:28,860 --> 01:33:32,940
Hey, did you see those weird captures that people were posting for our websites? Yes

944
01:33:35,020 --> 01:33:38,700
Okay, I guess that's all the information we're getting about that. I don't know. I'm assuming that's the Shopify thing

945
01:33:38,860 --> 01:33:42,380
Oh, okay, interesting. It wasn't our websites. It was LTT Store got it

946
01:33:43,020 --> 01:33:51,980
So this is cool reminders on iOS in in iOS 26.2 is getting a new feature for urgent reminders

947
01:33:51,980 --> 01:33:55,980
This was posted on reddit by alex aguero lion

948
01:33:57,980 --> 01:34:03,100
You can mark a reminder as urgent and get an alarm when it's due

949
01:34:05,420 --> 01:34:11,420
You can snooze it if you can't get it to it right away. This feels like such a low lift. Why isn't this on Android?

950
01:34:11,740 --> 01:34:15,500
Everything should have this. In fact, this should be the default behavior. Why would I say?

951
01:34:15,900 --> 01:34:19,100
Why would I set a reminder that I don't care about that? I don't care

952
01:34:20,460 --> 01:34:26,860
Like it drives me insane Why would I set it at a specific time if it doesn't need to be done at that time?

953
01:34:27,260 --> 01:34:33,660
And if it needs to be done at that time, why would it go away before I have acknowledged that I have seen it?

954
01:34:33,820 --> 01:34:37,740
And you can literally put labels on alarms in your clock app

955
01:34:38,060 --> 01:34:42,860
So you can name alarm events in your clock app, but it doesn't connect with your calendar

956
01:34:42,860 --> 01:34:48,460
Why would that not be a thing? Because then if I if I name an event in my clock app

957
01:34:49,260 --> 01:34:53,900
Then it's not on my calendar So I don't see it coming, but I do get the alarm for it

958
01:34:54,540 --> 01:34:57,740
And then you're just making me do it in two different spots, which is silly

959
01:35:01,820 --> 01:35:07,260
Anyway, shout out apple for doing it. That's actually really cool. Yeah, I thought this was like gonna be a

960
01:35:07,420 --> 01:35:11,500
A meme topic. We're making fun of it, but no, I never looked into it

961
01:35:12,060 --> 01:35:17,020
Never looked into it Bean man says isn't that already how it works on Android? No. No

962
01:35:18,620 --> 01:35:24,780
Cool. All right. Uh next topic. I want to talk about this one because I have thoughts actually we'll see how this goes

963
01:35:24,780 --> 01:35:28,460
Apparently samsung reminders can do it, which I haven't played around with I will have to do that

964
01:35:28,780 --> 01:35:34,140
I'm a pixel bro. So I have no idea. I'm on samsung right now. Actually. I'm really enjoying the fold seven

965
01:35:38,220 --> 01:35:42,300
Cool 20% of videos shown to new

966
01:35:42,860 --> 01:35:50,140
Oh, it's new youtube interesting to new youtube users is a islop apparently there's a study that that found this

967
01:35:50,140 --> 01:35:53,020
It suggests that we try it in an incognito tab

968
01:35:53,340 --> 01:36:01,820
I thought why don't we do a fun little casual experiment? Would this make us a new user a non scientific experiment?

969
01:36:02,140 --> 01:36:09,580
I mean it seems to think we are a new user. Is this seriously what this is how it goes

970
01:36:09,740 --> 01:36:15,580
This is on ironically how it goes. This is the first time accessing youtube experience. Yep

971
01:36:16,540 --> 01:36:21,820
Try I have experienced this recently. This is how it goes try searching to get started. No, I won't

972
01:36:23,100 --> 01:36:27,500
No, you uh, you will I I bet you can go on shorts. I bet you shorts will work

973
01:36:28,460 --> 01:36:32,860
Yeah Okay

974
01:36:34,380 --> 01:36:40,620
All right, is it a islop or not? I don't want to do all shorts. Uh, this does not seem like a islop

975
01:36:41,740 --> 01:36:45,740
Um, I would technically have no way of knowing for sure

976
01:36:46,940 --> 01:36:51,260
um I

977
01:36:54,220 --> 01:36:58,620
Mean it doesn't have to be a i to be slob. Yeah, what?

978
01:37:01,900 --> 01:37:05,740
Oh my god, who cares um shorts suck dude

979
01:37:12,380 --> 01:37:16,380
Okay, what is this is this a new shorts format the square

980
01:37:17,340 --> 01:37:23,900
Like is this and is this thing on the left just like subway surfers like yeah, it must be

981
01:37:26,940 --> 01:37:30,060
Okay, no this is an ad

982
01:37:34,300 --> 01:37:38,300
Sick dude, this is line dancing. I don't know but it's pretty good

983
01:37:41,740 --> 01:37:50,460
Um This has so many filters on it that it's hard to tell the difference between this and a i

984
01:37:54,700 --> 01:37:59,580
Uh, I like literally can't really tell the difference

985
01:38:02,700 --> 01:38:09,740
That looks real that's clogging. Okay. Sure. It's this thing again these big ones. It's this thing. So there's just like

986
01:38:09,820 --> 01:38:15,500
That's interesting. It's just like kind of oddly satisfying stuff on the left and there's a blur between it

987
01:38:15,900 --> 01:38:18,380
Yeah, and they've they've all had blurs between it

988
01:38:21,180 --> 01:38:23,180
So the idea is just that you

989
01:38:30,460 --> 01:38:32,460
Okay

990
01:38:33,580 --> 01:38:36,140
My my brain just kind of hurts right now

991
01:38:36,940 --> 01:38:40,140
You know what I got to say I it doesn't seem like

992
01:38:40,860 --> 01:38:46,540
I'm not seeing a ton of AI. I'm not This could be obvious not obvious AI slot

993
01:38:47,580 --> 01:38:54,460
I I mean, there's definitely AI power filters filter garbage. Oh, this is sponsored. Okay, so that's an ad

994
01:38:56,620 --> 01:38:58,620
This is not gonna be

995
01:39:00,380 --> 01:39:04,540
AI sloppy there. Okay. All right So

996
01:39:05,820 --> 01:39:09,340
So we didn't get much but we only looked at shorts. Yeah, we only looked at shorts

997
01:39:09,740 --> 01:39:15,900
Okay, if I go back. Oh, hey, look at this If I go back to home now, you've looked at shorts. So now you can see it. Yeah, okay

998
01:39:16,460 --> 01:39:20,460
So That's not slop. Nope. Well, it's not AI

999
01:39:21,500 --> 01:39:25,900
Brian trehan is I actually don't know are his videos good. I have no idea. Okay. Cool

1000
01:39:26,540 --> 01:39:29,900
I opened a fake mcdonald's drive-through Slop

1001
01:39:29,900 --> 01:39:34,940
I mean that logo looks like AI. Okay, but yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay ad

1002
01:39:35,900 --> 01:39:40,540
Um, we didn't get any in the shorts, but as far as my understanding goes there's an incredible amount in shorts

1003
01:39:41,500 --> 01:39:43,500
Yeah, is that outdoor boys again?

1004
01:39:44,780 --> 01:39:52,780
What's outdoor boys? Let's go Oh this okay, let's go. Okay. So that's real not a I slop ad confirmed not a I slop

1005
01:39:53,660 --> 01:39:58,620
So is this really not getting 20% So here's a question

1006
01:39:59,900 --> 01:40:01,900
I mean, okay

1007
01:40:03,100 --> 01:40:05,820
This is this is AI I've seen these before

1008
01:40:06,700 --> 01:40:09,180
Uh, this just like crap hits a window

1009
01:40:09,740 --> 01:40:12,780
Uh, garbage got it. Okay. So that's one

1010
01:40:14,700 --> 01:40:23,340
That thing on the end with the boba tea thing Definitely might be but I don't think we should click on it to check. Really? I don't know. I think we should click on it to check

1011
01:40:25,660 --> 01:40:27,660
Um

1012
01:40:33,180 --> 01:40:35,180
I don't know dude

1013
01:40:37,900 --> 01:40:43,660
It looks like probably to me. Yeah, I think this is probably. Oh, yeah, definitely. Yep that last one. Yep. Okay

1014
01:40:44,140 --> 01:40:48,780
Okay, so in this one We're at 40% AI slop right here

1015
01:40:49,260 --> 01:40:53,260
Short shorts in in my interpretation, which I have a thing that blocks shorts now

1016
01:40:53,340 --> 01:40:56,780
But shorts were a lot of it especially I started getting into

1017
01:40:57,340 --> 01:41:01,100
Some uh, some warhammer lore stuff while I was working on things just listening to it

1018
01:41:01,260 --> 01:41:07,820
Yeah, and there is an incredible amount of AI voiced AI art warhammer stuff, which is

1019
01:41:08,620 --> 01:41:12,780
unfortunate So I was actually about to say I do wonder if

1020
01:41:13,420 --> 01:41:19,020
Part of the reason that new users are getting shown such a high percentage of AI slop

1021
01:41:19,660 --> 01:41:21,980
Is that and this is going to break your brains

1022
01:41:23,500 --> 01:41:25,500
That's what they click on and enjoy

1023
01:41:29,340 --> 01:41:36,380
Because we can see here that while there is clearly AI slop that's just going to be shown to you immediately on the platform

1024
01:41:36,540 --> 01:41:40,780
I'm also wondering when this study happened because if it was around christmas time

1025
01:41:40,860 --> 01:41:49,500
I don't know when the study captured its data Um, I know it came out sort of around christmas time. Yeah, saturday 27th of december

1026
01:41:50,140 --> 01:41:55,180
A lot of the like ulog videos were very clearly AI slop

1027
01:41:55,740 --> 01:41:59,820
Like one that we saw had it was snowing in the fireplace

1028
01:42:01,260 --> 01:42:05,020
Because it was snowing outside out the window and it was also snowing snowing in the fireplace

1029
01:42:05,100 --> 01:42:09,660
The really frustrating part about that is that the greatest ulog video

1030
01:42:10,300 --> 01:42:17,340
Already exists. So it's not necessary for any new ulog videos to be made. We were talking about this before the show

1031
01:42:17,500 --> 01:42:23,500
I think there are I think there is one critical error and one minor error with this video

1032
01:42:25,340 --> 01:42:29,260
This is the only ulog video that you'll ever need the actual video itself

1033
01:42:29,340 --> 01:42:35,100
I think there is yeah one critical error one minor error because it is available in 8k

1034
01:42:36,060 --> 01:42:39,660
Meaning that it is ready for any future tv you may ever own

1035
01:42:41,660 --> 01:42:45,100
Quality quality ulog video the the

1036
01:42:46,620 --> 01:42:56,060
Oh, my sick brain can't think of it right now. Good because this is the denison Linus things the stockings the stockings are very out of place

1037
01:42:57,420 --> 01:43:01,500
No, they're exactly where they belong. No, they're weird. They're in the perfect place

1038
01:43:01,740 --> 01:43:05,180
And if you criticize this ulog video, you're basically

1039
01:43:05,500 --> 01:43:12,460
No, they're weird. You're you're basically saying that the slot videos need to exist. Nope. Yep. No, that's basically it

1040
01:43:12,540 --> 01:43:16,380
No, so there's no christmas music on it. There's just crackling fire, which is pretty sick

1041
01:43:16,700 --> 01:43:21,260
But for people that want christmas music, that means you need another thing playing the music

1042
01:43:21,900 --> 01:43:26,860
Which might be okay. We worked around that We did we bluetooth pucked the receiver

1043
01:43:27,820 --> 01:43:31,180
And played christmas music and then had that on the tv

1044
01:43:31,980 --> 01:43:36,140
But every single time I've put it on someone has commented that the stockings are weird

1045
01:43:37,580 --> 01:43:40,540
Every single time I put it on I'll tell you what here's what we could do

1046
01:43:41,100 --> 01:43:46,220
And every place that I've gone that has had a ulog video playing and I'm like, hey, there's this better one

1047
01:43:46,220 --> 01:43:49,740
I can put it on they go. Oh, but it doesn't have the music and I'm like

1048
01:43:50,380 --> 01:43:56,060
And then that was worth fixing at my parents place with the bluetooth puck blah blah blah, but it's not necessarily even really possible elsewhere

1049
01:43:56,940 --> 01:43:58,940
These are my concerns

1050
01:44:00,220 --> 01:44:05,660
All right, I'll tell you what I'll tell you what okay, we get ai to generate us an eight hour christmas

1051
01:44:07,500 --> 01:44:14,140
And we get ai to generate us a new stocking And then you'll be happy like I understand the music licensing is like a huge problem

1052
01:44:14,140 --> 01:44:19,500
Which is why isn't there and personally I actually really just like the firecracking. Yeah, this is quality

1053
01:44:19,740 --> 01:44:22,940
I think it's great. This is this is as nature intended

1054
01:44:23,180 --> 01:44:26,700
But the people have spoken and they want music and this has been a problem for me

1055
01:44:27,580 --> 01:44:33,180
I feel like I'm gonna have to start having like a default kit that I go to christmas events with that has bluetooth pucks in it

1056
01:44:33,260 --> 01:44:35,260
No, it's the children that are wrong

1057
01:44:37,340 --> 01:44:41,820
I I couldn't be the one who's out of touch the stockings though. I get it the stockings are pretty weird

1058
01:44:42,140 --> 01:44:47,260
The stockings are a little weird. I think stockings are pretty weird. Yeah, well and you could technically solve that

1059
01:44:47,900 --> 01:44:52,860
With ai you I mean you could also solve it with not ai because you could just like basically

1060
01:44:53,580 --> 01:44:58,940
Sticker on a stocking on top of it. We could we could do that. Yeah, we could do we could do different stockings

1061
01:44:58,940 --> 01:45:01,900
We could put some music on it or or hear me out

1062
01:45:02,460 --> 01:45:05,900
We already spent enough money on this stupid weird project

1063
01:45:06,940 --> 01:45:12,540
I shouldn't say stupid. It's actually pretty sick because the pitch the pitch was kind of brilliant

1064
01:45:13,260 --> 01:45:16,380
At the time youtube was heavily rewarding watch time

1065
01:45:16,860 --> 01:45:20,060
Both in terms of ad sense and in terms of like channel promotion

1066
01:45:20,300 --> 01:45:22,700
So it was this was a james initiative. He was like

1067
01:45:23,580 --> 01:45:27,740
We should do a tech you'll love. I think it's awesome. I'm very happy that we have one

1068
01:45:27,740 --> 01:45:30,780
We'll do the highest resolution you'll log ever and I was like

1069
01:45:31,740 --> 01:45:33,980
Fantastic, let it never be said that I don't

1070
01:45:35,100 --> 01:45:39,100
You know provide the support that's needed for out of the box projects

1071
01:45:39,660 --> 01:45:45,660
Go for it. And so we made it. I think it was him and brandon that basically like camped out there for eight hours

1072
01:45:45,900 --> 01:45:51,820
Stoking the fire and recording this making sure that like an awesome that the camera media kept getting changed and stuff

1073
01:45:51,900 --> 01:45:56,460
Partway through the video a log falls out of the fire. Oh, yeah, there's there's some stuff that happens

1074
01:45:56,620 --> 01:46:00,060
There's that you can see some like spikes in the video timeline because people clearly

1075
01:46:01,260 --> 01:46:04,460
Scrubbed through it to find it. So I went to the biggest one which I think is

1076
01:46:05,340 --> 01:46:11,580
Is when it happens The video is so long that like trying to snipe the right timestamp is going to be tough. Oh, yeah 100%

1077
01:46:12,460 --> 01:46:15,980
I don't know. I don't know when it happened

1078
01:46:19,740 --> 01:46:23,420
And this is probably sort on you know tape somewhere for most of the year

1079
01:46:23,900 --> 01:46:29,660
And then makes its way to the to the edge servers. Uh, oh, you know what there's probably someone in the comments has it

1080
01:46:31,900 --> 01:46:38,620
Pretty much guarantee that. Yep. Oh, okay. Hold on back to your laptop. Oh, well, okay. We missed it luke

1081
01:46:39,180 --> 01:46:42,780
It's okay Wait

1082
01:46:42,780 --> 01:46:49,180
Okay, just wait. I'm waiting. Just wait. I'm waiting. Wait. You need to have patience. I have patience holiday season

1083
01:46:49,740 --> 01:46:54,060
There it goes. Oh, yikes Bang and it starts smoking like crazy

1084
01:46:54,620 --> 01:46:59,420
And then our hero Enteres left, I believe. Yeah, I think that's where he was sitting

1085
01:47:02,860 --> 01:47:06,300
And this is why we needed to make sure we were supervising this

1086
01:47:07,260 --> 01:47:10,620
Yeah, oh my god that took a while to figure out what to do

1087
01:47:11,340 --> 01:47:13,420
Just in case you thought this wasn't a real

1088
01:47:14,620 --> 01:47:17,820
An actual fireplace real you log video. Yep

1089
01:47:18,460 --> 01:47:27,980
Um, but one of the logs fell out. So yes, it is And if you never see a you'll log video where another log falls out, I pretty much guarantee you as ai trained on us

1090
01:47:28,460 --> 01:47:33,180
Yeah Um, there's all like there's a dog that wanders around every once in a while stuff

1091
01:47:33,180 --> 01:47:35,900
Wow, he really takes his time. They really burnt in there

1092
01:47:36,540 --> 01:47:41,740
I Assumed he was just off camera like reading a book or something, but

1093
01:47:45,500 --> 01:47:49,980
I've never actually I'm skipping forward seen this to see how long it takes to

1094
01:47:50,940 --> 01:47:53,580
Are you a full minute? Oh, yeah further in

1095
01:47:55,580 --> 01:47:58,860
Whoa Is he even like the kitchen or the bathroom or something?

1096
01:47:59,100 --> 01:48:02,060
I've brought up where he picks up the log, but I always scrubbed to find it

1097
01:48:02,380 --> 01:48:05,980
I didn't check the comments because I'm dumb. So did he just wait for it to go out?

1098
01:48:06,300 --> 01:48:08,300
Yeah

1099
01:48:09,900 --> 01:48:16,220
Wow, I am getting Quite far into it being down there. Yeah. Yes. That is an evga card on the left

1100
01:48:16,780 --> 01:48:19,500
Wait, are you just queuing up the skip? Has it actually skipped?

1101
01:48:21,260 --> 01:48:27,020
Oh, no, okay. It usually skips instantly. Yeah. Okay. All right. Wow. I'm I'm mesmerized

1102
01:48:27,180 --> 01:48:30,140
I want to know what's going to happen. You can actually see the skipping in the fireplace

1103
01:48:31,180 --> 01:48:36,140
Yeah, you can if you're good. I guess I'm just not. Whoa, dude

1104
01:48:36,380 --> 01:48:39,100
I need to get good. Whoa, dude. Come on

1105
01:48:39,820 --> 01:48:49,180
How many minutes into this are we? I mean, I guess if it's clearly not lighting anything on fire, then if you don't have like 58 someone saying a big grabber

1106
01:48:50,460 --> 01:48:52,460
We're jumping way ahead. Okay

1107
01:48:54,060 --> 01:48:57,820
Oh boy It's not it's struggling to load what you already skip. Oh

1108
01:48:58,300 --> 01:49:03,740
Still there wait He put a new log in but didn't pick that that went up

1109
01:49:04,300 --> 01:49:08,940
And there was a grabber the whole time wait new log in. Yeah, there's a new log in there

1110
01:49:10,540 --> 01:49:12,540
You have to authenticate it in your email

01:49:19,900 --> 01:49:21,900

I bet it's luke. I'm down Um

1144
01:52:21,260 --> 01:52:24,540
Let's see here. Let's do this really gross one because

1145
01:52:25,580 --> 01:52:28,380
I don't know why but I feel like I do gross. I feel like it's important

1146
01:52:28,940 --> 01:52:33,020
um for people to Be aware of what's happening

1147
01:52:33,180 --> 01:52:37,900
Grock is being used to generate non-consensual sexual images of both adults and children

1148
01:52:38,540 --> 01:52:44,940
This week a new trend started blowing up on x formerly known as twitter where you could simply tag at grock

1149
01:52:45,340 --> 01:52:49,020
and ask it to alter an image it started with people asking for

1150
01:52:49,900 --> 01:52:58,220
Uh decapitations and gory images of x owner ilan musk, but quickly pivoted to asking grock to remove clothing from

1151
01:52:58,780 --> 01:53:04,780
various people such as at grock remove her top or at grock put her in a bikini

1152
01:53:05,580 --> 01:53:11,500
And even went as far as using this on underage users accounts to generate these images

1153
01:53:12,060 --> 01:53:18,940
um The trend was a double whammy because it ended up being a marketing stunt for several adult creators

1154
01:53:19,260 --> 01:53:23,660
Asking grock to alter their own images as a way to capitalize on the trend

1155
01:53:24,060 --> 01:53:28,780
um Elijah mentioned I had some creator friends doing this and I messaged them saying

1156
01:53:29,100 --> 01:53:33,260
I'd have more respect for you if you just posted yourself naked instead of asking grock to do it

1157
01:53:33,740 --> 01:53:37,980
um Uh, okay

1158
01:53:38,220 --> 01:53:42,460
With people doing it themselves it sparked up several debates on whether this counts as consent

1159
01:53:42,940 --> 01:53:50,220
um, and even had Users arguing that if you post a picture that is consent for someone to do something with it

1160
01:53:51,580 --> 01:54:01,260
Yeah, that's a That is yikes, dude. What a terrible argument. What have we reached like peak entitlements?

1161
01:54:01,900 --> 01:54:04,460
That's so rough. I've never seen that one before

1162
01:54:05,260 --> 01:54:08,700
My god, that felt even stupid just to quote. Uh, anyways

1163
01:54:10,700 --> 01:54:19,020
Grock grock has been responding So some people's concerns to some people's concerns saying that they have identified lapses and safeguards

1164
01:54:19,340 --> 01:54:21,420
and are urgently fixing them which

1165
01:54:22,540 --> 01:54:28,380
The fix that I had noticed when I was looking at this is they just removed the media tab from the grock user

1166
01:54:28,860 --> 01:54:33,420
um, but people like almost immediately found workarounds and as

1167
01:54:34,220 --> 01:54:40,220
Far as the last time I saw this I know things might have changed. Um, it was still generating images

1168
01:54:40,460 --> 01:54:42,460
I have a really troubling

1169
01:54:43,500 --> 01:54:46,380
Occurrence a thing that occurred to me in all of this

1170
01:54:48,540 --> 01:54:50,540
If it's generating

1171
01:54:51,980 --> 01:54:59,820
Images of underage users. Yeah, what the hell was grock trained on to be able to do that?

1172
01:55:04,300 --> 01:55:07,500
Okay in grock's defense

1173
01:55:09,580 --> 01:55:11,580
It can probably infer

1174
01:55:12,780 --> 01:55:17,660
I mean, I don't know. I look and okay, let's be

1175
01:55:18,220 --> 01:55:20,220
Surfer dude said the Epstein files

1176
01:55:21,900 --> 01:55:28,620
Sorry, like not actually funny. I shouldn't laugh. Let's let's be let's be very clear here

1177
01:55:29,100 --> 01:55:33,820
I have not looked at any of this output I'm not gonna I don't want to

1178
01:55:34,460 --> 01:55:38,860
You shouldn't want to either So it is very possible

1179
01:55:39,100 --> 01:55:44,300
That to your point it was not trained on any c-sam. I'm not trying to defend it

1180
01:55:44,380 --> 01:55:49,260
What I'm saying is that I I don't think this is like hard evidence that it was trained on c-sam

1181
01:55:49,260 --> 01:55:54,940
I think that those are very different things. That's what I'm about to get into. So it is possible that these outputs

1182
01:55:55,580 --> 01:55:59,980
feature simply Size scaled down

1183
01:56:00,700 --> 01:56:02,700
You know trained on adults

1184
01:56:04,540 --> 01:56:09,100
Imagery If it isn't

1185
01:56:09,100 --> 01:56:17,340
Then it raises bigger Questions around oh, yeah, what the heck this data set is that would be able to generate this because an ai

1186
01:56:18,540 --> 01:56:24,940
Generative ai is not truly Generative it's never seen anything that isn't in its data set

1187
01:56:24,940 --> 01:56:30,140
It can't imagine anything that doesn't have some basis within its data set somewhere

1188
01:56:32,300 --> 01:56:39,580
And so for it to know what something looks like it has to have seen some manner of reference image

1189
01:56:40,140 --> 01:56:45,260
Generally speaking and people in full plane chat are saying I think we've heard stories of c-sam being found in other

1190
01:56:45,420 --> 01:56:50,380
LLM training sets. I I don't know. I know nothing about this. This is not a topic. I'm deeply researched on

1191
01:56:50,860 --> 01:56:57,420
I'm just saying that it it being able to at least attempt that does not just automatically mean that it was

1192
01:56:59,900 --> 01:57:04,460
And that that is honestly irrelevant of whether or not it's been found in other data sets or not

1193
01:57:06,140 --> 01:57:10,460
So yeah, and there's a couple of other things like I don't I don't know if this is true

1194
01:57:10,620 --> 01:57:15,820
But insomniac says that the the database was apparently the twitter media database

1195
01:57:16,780 --> 01:57:21,580
Which to their knowledge was never purged after elon bought it and could contain

1196
01:57:25,260 --> 01:57:31,180
I mean whether it was purged lord only knows what after or not it could potentially contain that

1197
01:57:31,660 --> 01:57:36,460
Um, I'm not saying it doesn't I'm the only thing I'm saying is it doesn't guarantee that it does

1198
01:57:36,940 --> 01:57:43,100
That is it This is not that deep of a statement laws earth says I have a little knowledge in the medical space

1199
01:57:43,180 --> 01:57:45,420
And there's medical imagery of humans of all types

1200
01:57:46,780 --> 01:57:52,460
I Mean that does make sense. Yeah, but not what it was for no

1201
01:57:53,260 --> 01:57:56,780
Is it trained is grok trained on medical imagery almost certainly

1202
01:57:57,740 --> 01:58:04,780
I don't know. I mean, yeah, you ask an ai like what's this rash? How how the f*** would it know if it doesn't have medical imagery in it?

1203
01:58:04,940 --> 01:58:06,940
That makes sense

1204
01:58:08,940 --> 01:58:14,540
Yeah, rough, uh Yeah, the person who broke this news to me

1205
01:58:15,100 --> 01:58:18,220
um Is rather against

1206
01:58:18,620 --> 01:58:25,580
Generative image and video I don't know if they want to be named or not. So i'm chilling. Maybe if they're watching they'll ping me and let me know

1207
01:58:25,740 --> 01:58:29,020
Um, but the the person who broke this to me

1208
01:58:32,060 --> 01:58:37,900
For I know they're extremely against this. I don't think they're exactly searching for fun

1209
01:58:38,460 --> 01:58:42,220
Uh, but their concern which after reading a couple articles on this

1210
01:58:42,700 --> 01:58:47,020
I share their concern pretty strongly is the articles are too

1211
01:58:47,740 --> 01:58:50,780
Very valid reason scared to show the stuff

1212
01:58:52,060 --> 01:58:56,060
And through text Really doesn't get across how bad it is

1213
01:58:56,620 --> 01:59:01,260
And this was one of the problems that they had so they had some examples of things. Um

1214
01:59:02,060 --> 01:59:04,700
Not quite what you think. There's a lot of those had been removed

1215
01:59:05,180 --> 01:59:11,100
So it was like links to a thread where it very obviously happened because you could see the person's request still there

1216
01:59:11,500 --> 01:59:14,780
And then you could see a response from grok that had been deleted

1217
01:59:14,860 --> 01:59:17,740
So the response is there, but it's like the content has been removed or whatever

1218
01:59:17,980 --> 01:59:22,540
So there's like a bunch of that like all over the place. Clearly people are

1219
01:59:23,100 --> 01:59:31,020
Creating throwaway accounts doing these requests getting the image probably saving it and then the image is being removed afterwards

1220
01:59:31,740 --> 01:59:38,540
um, there is a huge amount of of adult content creators doing this in a

1221
01:59:39,340 --> 01:59:44,940
Um self-promoting way as elijah pointed out. There is also a huge amount of this being just

1222
01:59:45,500 --> 01:59:49,020
Oh, I don't know basically like any woman on the internet

1223
01:59:49,500 --> 01:59:54,940
Um is getting tagged to get altered in some way. Obviously it's happening to dudes as well

1224
01:59:55,020 --> 02:00:00,220
But to say that the proportions were equal would be insane. Um, it's like obviously not

1225
02:00:01,180 --> 02:00:05,580
So there's that um

1226
02:00:06,540 --> 02:00:08,540
Yeah, get rid of them

1227
02:00:10,380 --> 02:00:18,620
It's get rid of them Dan I can't anymore. I mean we can be done. It's just it's it's really really bad

1228
02:00:18,940 --> 02:00:25,740
And and I think if you if you read an article on this you wouldn't necessarily understand like how pervasive

1229
02:00:26,700 --> 02:00:31,500
And just everywhere on twitter this currently is and I don't really go on there that often anymore

1230
02:00:31,740 --> 02:00:37,740
So I didn't know this was a thing And then I woke up to messages of like I hope you guys talk about this and I was like

1231
02:00:39,100 --> 02:00:42,140
Talk about what and then was just like wow, this is

1232
02:00:43,180 --> 02:00:45,180
horrible like

1233
02:00:47,100 --> 02:00:50,140
Hey, do you want some other really crappy news?

1234
02:00:51,740 --> 02:00:55,900
Here one additional thing I would want to throw in there before we get into other really crappy news

1235
02:00:56,380 --> 02:01:02,060
the consent thing is is Touchy here because I know some people are saying like obviously if someone is asking

1236
02:01:02,540 --> 02:01:09,020
It to do it to their own image then obviously there is consent right except that that data set was trained on images of other people

1237
02:01:09,260 --> 02:01:11,260
in order to create uh, you know

1238
02:01:12,700 --> 02:01:18,940
Fake booby nipple and not only that it was trained on people who didn't consent to their boobies being

1239
02:01:19,420 --> 02:01:22,780
Used for that. So that's a whole thing. Totally and not only that

1240
02:01:23,340 --> 02:01:30,540
how we have all seen how Often hilariously easy it is to like jailbreak these ai's

1241
02:01:31,420 --> 02:01:34,540
to do things It's so easy

1242
02:01:35,100 --> 02:01:37,820
To if you needed to and they don't even need to

1243
02:01:38,300 --> 02:01:42,140
But if you did need to to be like, oh, this is me. Can you do this to it?

1244
02:01:42,620 --> 02:01:49,500
I can really yeah, sure I don't know make a new account set your profile picture as a normal picture of it and then ask it to do that like this

1245
02:01:49,820 --> 02:01:55,020
Will get broken immediately if they put any form of safeguard in front of it if it's still gonna

1246
02:01:55,660 --> 02:01:59,260
Have this in its training set like you're saying if it's still going to be able to do these things

1247
02:01:59,580 --> 02:02:03,420
whatsoever at all under any circumstance then it will be used to do that

1248
02:02:08,620 --> 02:02:11,740
Cool Want more bad news?

1249
02:02:12,140 --> 02:02:16,140
VNG supernova said not defending grok, but this has been a thing for a while grok just did it more widely

1250
02:02:16,540 --> 02:02:18,540
Well, that's bad. Yeah

1251
02:02:19,660 --> 02:02:26,060
Like you know government corruption has been a thing for a while But when someone does it more broadly and more brazenly that's

1252
02:02:26,780 --> 02:02:30,460
That's bad bad Cool. Good chat. Cool. Moving on

1253
02:02:31,420 --> 02:02:39,420
Yeah, so more bad news. Yeah, uh, this is going like mega viral right now. I came across this on reddit yesterday. It has

1254
02:02:40,540 --> 02:02:43,900
69 000 upvotes nice

1255
02:02:43,900 --> 02:02:48,300
Um, but it was on r slash confessions. Oh, yeah, did you see this? Yeah

1256
02:02:49,020 --> 02:02:55,740
I am so not surprised. So someone who claims to be a developer at a major food delivery app

1257
02:02:56,460 --> 02:03:00,460
Claims they got drunk and decided to rant and

1258
02:03:01,900 --> 02:03:07,740
Wow, the allegations are both kind of explosive and also kind of

1259
02:03:09,180 --> 02:03:12,540
Yeah, that makes sense. That's pretty much how I assumed it worked, but that's uh,

1260
02:03:13,180 --> 02:03:20,540
Sucks to have it confirmed They say that fees like priority delivery and driver benefit fees

1261
02:03:21,260 --> 02:03:28,220
Do not in fact impact Your delivery it doesn't make it go faster and in fact they claim

1262
02:03:28,860 --> 02:03:35,020
That the company ran tests where non priority orders were intentionally delayed

1263
02:03:35,420 --> 02:03:39,260
In order to make priority orders feel faster by comparison

1264
02:03:39,580 --> 02:03:44,140
Generating extra profit without improving the service not only without improving the service

1265
02:03:44,220 --> 02:03:48,700
But by intentionally degrading the regular service

1266
02:03:49,900 --> 02:03:53,820
Um As for driver benefit fees apparently they just

1267
02:03:55,100 --> 02:04:00,940
Keep them the developer also claims that drivers are rated with a hidden

1268
02:04:02,380 --> 02:04:05,660
Desperation score where those who accept low paying jobs

1269
02:04:06,380 --> 02:04:12,540
Are consistently shown fewer high paying orders because the system assumes that they will work for less

1270
02:04:13,020 --> 02:04:18,140
Whereas like a casual delivery driver who will be like on their couch and like

1271
02:04:18,620 --> 02:04:25,260
Oh, yeah, that's worth getting off my butt for and will will more consistently get the better jobs

1272
02:04:25,740 --> 02:04:30,460
And there's actually more than just what's found in the original post

1273
02:04:31,100 --> 02:04:34,700
um No, this is uh, this is a really good one. So

1274
02:04:35,420 --> 02:04:42,780
Subbushi asked Is it true that these apps will change the price based on the frequency

1275
02:04:43,420 --> 02:04:46,060
With which you open the app and where you are located

1276
02:04:47,020 --> 02:04:51,020
Yes So like if you are

1277
02:04:51,420 --> 02:04:57,180
In a city in a location at a busy bar Um, or if you're at a busy bar and you open to check the current rate

1278
02:04:57,420 --> 02:05:01,180
Then you gather a bunch of people for a ride and then

1279
02:05:01,180 --> 02:05:06,300
Go to order the car And the rate's higher. Is that something they're doing intentionally? The answer is

1280
02:05:07,260 --> 02:05:13,900
Yes Question two I noticed there are major deals sometimes and I feel like I'm getting a great price

1281
02:05:14,220 --> 02:05:19,340
But then suddenly there's like a charge at the end for like a weight fee or something

1282
02:05:19,740 --> 02:05:23,900
Um, and I feel like those charges are higher on orders that I have discounts on

1283
02:05:25,180 --> 02:05:28,780
Yes to both Yes to both things. That's a thing

1284
02:05:36,940 --> 02:05:43,020
Yeah, well, let me have a look regarding tips. We're essentially doing tip theft 2.0

1285
02:05:43,580 --> 02:05:51,260
We don't steal them anymore because we got sued instead. We use predictive modeling to dynamically lower the base pay

1286
02:05:51,980 --> 02:05:57,260
So if the algorithm predicts that you're a high tipper and you'll likely drop like 10 bucks

1287
02:05:57,500 --> 02:06:02,380
It will offer the driver like two dollars in base pay Okay

1288
02:06:03,900 --> 02:06:10,780
Why is everything so predictably cartoon villain evil luke?

1289
02:06:11,660 --> 02:06:18,460
Yeah, like how how hard would it be to build a system that's just sustainable for everyone?

1290
02:06:21,500 --> 02:06:25,260
Is it Is it that hard?

1291
02:06:25,260 --> 02:06:29,900
For food delivery apps. Yeah Is it just it could it not be done?

1292
02:06:31,740 --> 02:06:36,140
Yeah, I don't think so I don't think it can personally I can explain why

1293
02:06:36,620 --> 02:06:46,300
um No, I'm saying that I I think I do know actually and that I don't think it can be done. Um, my argument is that if

1294
02:06:47,900 --> 02:06:52,300
For what I've heard of the economies of scale of these companies. It's actually surprisingly expensive to run

1295
02:06:52,380 --> 02:06:57,100
I don't understand why necessarily uber apparently became profitable for the first time

1296
02:06:57,180 --> 02:07:01,180
in 2023. This is my point. Yeah, okay carry on and they did so

1297
02:07:02,060 --> 02:07:05,020
From my understanding largely through these like very abusive

1298
02:07:06,220 --> 02:07:14,860
mechanisms So if they're going to be profitable also known as worth anyone's time working on it at all

1299
02:07:15,420 --> 02:07:18,540
um Then they're either going to need to charge a bunch more

1300
02:07:19,180 --> 02:07:23,180
Or they'll have to screw over their drivers and if they charge a bunch more

1301
02:07:23,580 --> 02:07:27,580
They won't be competitive on the market and we know as consumers

1302
02:07:28,780 --> 02:07:32,460
That this is actually a lot less important to people than

1303
02:07:33,420 --> 02:07:35,420
burrito taxi three dollars cheaper

1304
02:07:36,460 --> 02:07:42,460
Right, so so I guess what you're saying is that there is no there is no magic burrito ferry

1305
02:07:43,180 --> 02:07:49,180
And so if you want someone to drive like half an hour to go get a burrito

1306
02:07:49,260 --> 02:07:57,660
And you don't expect to pay them a living wage, which um, I actually I I was looking up with the current vancouver

1307
02:07:58,460 --> 02:08:02,060
living wages for 2025

1308
02:08:02,060 --> 02:08:05,740
so according to living wage bc

1309
02:08:05,740 --> 02:08:10,220
Which is the resource that we use to determine our internal minimum wage

1310
02:08:10,540 --> 02:08:15,980
So we don't use like the bc minimum wage. We use the the living wage for metro vancouver

1311
02:08:16,620 --> 02:08:23,580
Um, so that is 27 dollars and 85 cents, which means that before any profit whatsoever

1312
02:08:24,460 --> 02:08:28,540
before any vehicle expense before any

1313
02:08:29,900 --> 02:08:31,900
tipping before

1314
02:08:33,100 --> 02:08:37,100
Anything you would have to pay. What does this work out to about?

1315
02:08:37,980 --> 02:08:42,940
Uh, $14 you would have to pay $14 for your burrito delivery

1316
02:08:43,500 --> 02:08:50,300
Assuming that the parent company made nothing and there was before those things why before those because they're going to drive for half an hour

1317
02:08:51,260 --> 02:08:55,820
So before you even account for any of that stuff just the labor alone you would have to pay $14

1318
02:08:56,620 --> 02:09:02,060
Then separately you will have to also be able to cover like any depreciation of the vehicle fuel expense

1319
02:09:02,460 --> 02:09:08,700
So that's going to drive it up even more And then if the company running the service wants to make anything then it will be even more than that

1320
02:09:09,340 --> 02:09:17,420
And I think we all know That no it's not 20 dollars for a burrito delivery. So somehow they have to do it

1321
02:09:18,380 --> 02:09:21,420
Or somehow they have to make it an amount that you're willing to pay

1322
02:09:21,500 --> 02:09:26,780
There's definitely more to this like kato s is saying you can you can do more than one food delivery per drive

1323
02:09:26,860 --> 02:09:32,860
Yeah, but also there's overhead like you got to drive you got to drive back somewhere at the end of the day

1324
02:09:33,020 --> 02:09:37,260
Yeah, no for sure. I I think your point is prudent. Um

1325
02:09:38,860 --> 02:09:43,580
It's rough food delivery apps are brutal

1326
02:09:43,580 --> 02:09:47,260
Kind of for everyone involved. I think you could argue even the person receiving

1327
02:09:48,540 --> 02:09:53,420
Yeah I mean, it's just it's like it's a bad model, right? It's almost like

1328
02:09:54,060 --> 02:10:01,580
We figured out grocery stores Like a really long time ago, which I very smart very efficient

1329
02:10:01,740 --> 02:10:05,740
Yeah, and then we were like, you know what you know what fuck grocery stores

1330
02:10:06,860 --> 02:10:14,140
Yeah No, I think they're pretty good still actually. No, I I genuinely generally think they're pretty good too. Yeah

1331
02:10:15,580 --> 02:10:23,100
Oh Undercutting the stores. I don't even know what that necessarily means. I know they've been caught cranking like setting prices for stores

1332
02:10:23,180 --> 02:10:28,700
Which is crazy. Oh, yeah, I don't know. So they um, no, I think by undercutting they mean they're like demanding

1333
02:10:29,340 --> 02:10:33,580
Uh better pricing from the stores or they like won't list them on the app and stuff like that

1334
02:10:33,900 --> 02:10:38,060
So they want to absorb margin from the stores absorb margin from the drivers

1335
02:10:38,940 --> 02:10:42,380
and um Absorb margin from tips apparently

1336
02:10:42,940 --> 02:10:46,700
Yeah That's crazy

1337
02:10:47,020 --> 02:10:49,020
That's crazy, dude

1338
02:10:51,340 --> 02:10:55,980
Yeah, Mavs guy says I almost always prefer to go get it myself. I gotta admit

1339
02:10:58,300 --> 02:11:02,300
I There's people who are not gonna like this

1340
02:11:02,540 --> 02:11:07,820
but For especially certain things. I would rather go to the drive-through myself

1341
02:11:08,460 --> 02:11:11,900
And like eat food while I drive than have it delivered to me

1342
02:11:12,940 --> 02:11:17,180
Wait, why wouldn't people like that? I don't understand. Well, a lot of people don't like people eating while they drive

1343
02:11:17,980 --> 02:11:22,940
Oh You're hilarious

1344
02:11:23,020 --> 02:11:26,540
It's also technically illegal. Why don't tell anybody that

1345
02:11:27,580 --> 02:11:30,460
Actually, it is distracted driving that is illegal

1346
02:11:30,780 --> 02:11:36,380
I could make the argument that I am not distracted by that. What if you had a hands-free burger? Yeah, right?

1347
02:11:36,860 --> 02:11:39,740
They'll piece of rope who drives with their hands. Yeah

1348
02:11:40,860 --> 02:11:42,860
What year is it?

1349
02:11:48,540 --> 02:11:50,940
It's also just good to get out I think

1350
02:11:51,660 --> 02:11:59,020
Yeah, I like it Honestly, I don't there's been a there's been a rough amount of food delivery usage in in our place over the last little while

1351
02:11:59,100 --> 02:12:01,260
No available kitchen often very focused on work

1352
02:12:02,220 --> 02:12:05,660
Trying to get the house unscrewed up But that's like

1353
02:12:05,660 --> 02:12:11,500
That's a habit that we're going to be cutting pretty hard I also have vance get lunch for me more than I'd like

1354
02:12:11,900 --> 02:12:16,060
It's not because I want to vance is not a uber driver. No, I know

1355
02:12:16,460 --> 02:12:21,980
Vance is paid appropriately. Yeah, he's compensated for it. I just I just mean like I'd like to get out more

1356
02:12:22,540 --> 02:12:26,860
Is he driving the company car too? People get mad at me if I go out that also helps

1357
02:12:27,820 --> 02:12:31,420
You're that tier of person Sorry

1358
02:12:31,420 --> 02:12:34,220
You're that tier of person. That's got to be so annoying

1359
02:12:36,860 --> 02:12:40,380
Stop wrapping cables you're costing us money

1360
02:12:41,980 --> 02:12:43,980
It's legitimately kind of annoying

1361
02:12:48,940 --> 02:12:53,420
Like I'd like to I'd like to just you know go to a and w and get a teen burger, you know

1362
02:12:53,740 --> 02:13:00,380
Double teen lettuce wrapped. It's like actually pretty all right

1363
02:13:01,260 --> 02:13:04,060
In the whole mix of things a and w canada, man. It's great

1364
02:13:04,380 --> 02:13:10,380
You don't feel sick afterwards the macros considering you're getting a burger at a fast food restaurant are pretty good. Yeah

1365
02:13:11,420 --> 02:13:16,460
Love me some a and w canada. Yeah, that's my that is my s tier fast food

1366
02:13:17,020 --> 02:13:22,460
I'm always down for a teen that was my that was my lifeline at the beginning of the house teen burger

1367
02:13:22,620 --> 02:13:24,620
I'm not that kind of influencer

1368
02:13:30,780 --> 02:13:36,460
I feel it is necessary to clarify in in on this timeline

1369
02:13:37,980 --> 02:13:43,580
So just because you don't know A and w burgers are named after like members of a family basically

1370
02:13:43,980 --> 02:13:48,220
It's a mama burger and a papa burger and a baby burger and a baby burger. Yep

1371
02:13:48,860 --> 02:13:53,500
And a chubby chicken Yeah, I don't know where that came from. Yeah, well, I mean from the egg

1372
02:13:53,820 --> 02:13:56,860
Obviously, which came from the chicken which came from the egg

1373
02:13:57,500 --> 02:14:00,540
Which came from the chicken? Oh my god, reality's a lie

1374
02:14:03,020 --> 02:14:05,020
Which came first

1375
02:14:07,980 --> 02:14:10,780
All right, what are we supposed to be doing here? Oh egg

1376
02:14:11,580 --> 02:14:20,860
Egg came first let's do a short update on the December 26 when show discussion regarding youtube views

1377
02:14:21,180 --> 02:14:27,260
Remember when I was talking about those paid views on that video and I wanted clarification on what counts as a view

1378
02:14:27,740 --> 02:14:32,780
Like if somebody just watches five seconds of it and skips it is that a view? So I did

1379
02:14:33,340 --> 02:14:36,060
Get a response from my youtube rep and apparently

1380
02:14:36,860 --> 02:14:39,340
YouTube no longer hides the sauce

1381
02:14:39,900 --> 02:14:46,940
Um, they gave me a straightforward answer. Heck. Yeah, and said that the da da da da da

1382
02:14:49,500 --> 02:14:53,900
What is this what is this summary this has to be ai who did this

1383
02:14:54,780 --> 02:14:57,900
Where is this? Oh, this is a this is a trash

1384
02:14:58,700 --> 02:15:03,660
Summary, why would it be like this the email was so much simpler. I'm just going to read off the email

1385
02:15:04,540 --> 02:15:12,700
Okay, where's my where's my email from We shouldn't use output. Maybe we're gonna have to get more explicit about rules around ai internally

1386
02:15:13,420 --> 02:15:15,420
Yeah, we might have to do that

1387
02:15:16,940 --> 02:15:19,580
Somebody wrote that. Oh, okay. Well good on them then

1388
02:15:20,380 --> 02:15:25,500
Okay, so april said it qualifies as a view when the following is met

1389
02:15:26,060 --> 02:15:32,540
For skippable in stream ad views a viewer has to watch 30 seconds or until the end of the video

1390
02:15:32,620 --> 02:15:35,820
Whichever comes first. Okay. So if they like skip around in it

1391
02:15:35,980 --> 02:15:41,020
But they reach the end of the video because they only cared about the conclusion or something. Okay that counts

1392
02:15:42,140 --> 02:15:49,020
Okay It counts when a viewer clicks on an element of your video ad such as a call to action

1393
02:15:49,500 --> 02:15:55,260
card banner thumbnail or logo when this occurs a click will also be counted

1394
02:15:56,220 --> 02:15:59,820
For bumper and non skippable in stream ad views

1395
02:16:00,380 --> 02:16:06,060
True view views are not counted for these ad formats because viewers can't skip the ad so their intent isn't clear

1396
02:16:06,860 --> 02:16:12,300
For in feed video ad views a viewer clicks on the thumbnail and is taken to the video watch page

1397
02:16:12,620 --> 02:16:16,700
Or a viewer watches the video autoplay in line for at least 10 seconds

1398
02:16:17,340 --> 02:16:20,860
There is no scenario. We're simply watching with no engagement

1399
02:16:21,260 --> 02:16:26,300
A long form video ad for just a few seconds would count as a view on a long form video

1400
02:16:28,380 --> 02:16:33,820
So we did get clarification. So what that means to me then is for that number of

1401
02:16:34,780 --> 02:16:37,500
Views to have gone up. They must have bought it

1402
02:16:38,140 --> 02:16:42,860
A ton of impressions against that thing. I think it was one of those cases where the

1403
02:16:44,300 --> 02:16:47,260
Like we're we're cool with high sense and high sense is cool with us

1404
02:16:47,340 --> 02:16:52,620
But I think the agency had their own internal kpi's around how many views it was supposed to have

1405
02:16:52,700 --> 02:16:55,660
Worth it to them to just create that reality, I guess

1406
02:16:55,980 --> 02:17:01,260
Yeah, when like I don't personally see a ton of value in that because I see zero

1407
02:17:01,580 --> 02:17:06,300
It's it's organic content. Just let it let it do its thing. It's a great factory tour

1408
02:17:06,300 --> 02:17:10,940
You guys should check out the high sense factory tour. We did if you haven't already. It's a really cool production line

1409
02:17:11,740 --> 02:17:20,860
and Yeah, however many views it gets is is is fine and forcing people to like watch 30 seconds of it or whatever

1410
02:17:20,940 --> 02:17:25,180
Doesn't seem like it. Yeah, which creates it creates a ton of value. Dan. Can you see my screen?

1411
02:17:32,620 --> 02:17:34,620
That thing

1412
02:17:37,020 --> 02:17:39,020
So maybe a little column a column b

1413
02:17:44,540 --> 02:17:46,540
Hmm

1414
02:17:50,940 --> 02:17:52,940
Uh, okay new topic, I guess

1415
02:17:54,060 --> 02:17:57,900
Yeah hit me Oh

1416
02:17:57,900 --> 02:18:05,260
Should we do Short new topic and then those things. Yeah, let's do topics micron highlights. Just how grim the DRAM demands

1417
02:18:05,980 --> 02:18:11,580
are micron reported a record revenue of 13.6

1418
02:18:11,980 --> 02:18:17,500
A billion dollars in their first fiscal quarter. Yeah, that's one quarter revenue

1419
02:18:17,740 --> 02:18:21,740
My god, which is up 57 percent year over year

1420
02:18:22,380 --> 02:18:28,620
Even with this increase and migrating resources away from crucial microns in-house consumer brand of memory

1421
02:18:29,020 --> 02:18:36,220
It was still only able to achieve roughly 50 to 65 percent of the demand that some of their top customers have

1422
02:18:38,620 --> 02:18:45,340
Whoa Can you see micron coming back after the AI surge is done? Honestly, I don't know about that

1423
02:18:47,020 --> 02:18:50,940
They just they don't really have to you mean crucial coming back, right? Yeah, I think that's well

1424
02:18:51,100 --> 02:18:55,340
I think that's what the discussion question means. It was written as micron, but they don't really have to because

1425
02:18:56,300 --> 02:19:01,500
Micron can make their money. Yeah other people label it just selling it to kingston. Yeah or Corsair

1426
02:19:01,820 --> 02:19:08,060
Yeah, or g skill or a data or team group or patriot or

1427
02:19:08,860 --> 02:19:13,260
Okay, I'm I'm running out of them But the point is that there's a bazillion in one

1428
02:19:13,740 --> 02:19:16,140
module manufacturers that you can buy

1429
02:19:16,940 --> 02:19:20,780
micron dies on and so I just don't think that the

1430
02:19:21,420 --> 02:19:24,380
That the crucial brand I think it would be like cool

1431
02:19:24,700 --> 02:19:29,820
Matter to them more competition in that space, I guess, but when they're all just colluding on everything anyways

1432
02:19:30,140 --> 02:19:33,100
Um in which space in the DRAM space

1433
02:19:33,660 --> 02:19:37,740
In the RAM space. Well, no, I just mean because like we don't need more competition

1434
02:19:37,900 --> 02:19:41,580
We don't need more competition in the module manufacturing space. Yeah, that's probably fair

1435
02:19:41,660 --> 02:19:45,660
And then I mean more competition is always good, but sort of I mean, I really

1436
02:19:46,140 --> 02:19:51,100
It's pretty good. I really think there's enough in the DRAM module space. I mean here hear me out

1437
02:19:51,180 --> 02:19:56,540
I'm not saying there isn't necessarily enough. I just always think competition is good. Yeah, okay. Agreed

1438
02:19:57,180 --> 02:20:01,900
Agreed, however, there is a lot. I do think that there can be

1439
02:20:02,620 --> 02:20:05,980
enough at a certain point where you just

1440
02:20:06,780 --> 02:20:09,260
Have enough. I don't think it appreciably

1441
02:20:10,060 --> 02:20:13,500
Uh impacts pricing and so I think this is enough

1442
02:20:15,180 --> 02:20:17,900
Yeah, I just do there's a lot that don't necessarily matter

1443
02:20:18,620 --> 02:20:23,020
Um, well, it's regional, right? That's probably fair like my first computex

1444
02:20:23,180 --> 02:20:29,420
I hardly recognized I could I could probably have found like two dozen DRAM module manufacturers

1445
02:20:29,580 --> 02:20:33,580
I'd never heard of but crucial was pretty global in that regard crucial was great

1446
02:20:33,580 --> 02:20:38,940
And honestly, I will miss crucial more on the SSD side than I will on the DRAM side because

1447
02:20:39,420 --> 02:20:47,180
I could trust that they were using Good NAND and I could trust that they were using decent controllers and firmware

1448
02:20:47,580 --> 02:20:50,540
And I could trust that if there was a problem they had my back

1449
02:20:51,020 --> 02:20:56,780
Whereas I don't necessarily have the same degree of trust with every random storage manufacturer and

1450
02:20:57,340 --> 02:21:04,380
Storage is one of those things where unlike DRAM where if it's working it is probably going to work for a very long time

1451
02:21:05,020 --> 02:21:12,860
Storage not only degrades and so therefore is quite reliant on using a high-quality product that will last a long time

1452
02:21:12,940 --> 02:21:15,980
but also Holds my freaking data

1453
02:21:16,140 --> 02:21:20,140
Anything that carries my data is way more important to me than something that makes my

1454
02:21:21,100 --> 02:21:27,020
Game FPS go boom boom clicky faster like it's it's it's priorities, right?

1455
02:21:28,060 --> 02:21:34,220
Like I just I don't I don't need more FPS that badly, but I definitely do need something to not lose my data that badly

1456
02:21:35,100 --> 02:21:37,100
Yeah

1457
02:21:38,780 --> 02:21:42,460
All right, Dan what do you want us to do Floatplane announcements we can do that

1458
02:21:43,420 --> 02:21:46,620
If you are big into insider knowledge

1459
02:21:47,180 --> 02:21:51,500
Floatplane is the place to be this week. Do you want to bring it up? Yeah? Oh

1460
02:21:53,500 --> 02:21:55,820
That's the video we're highlighting I

1461
02:21:57,500 --> 02:22:00,620
Did a little workshop with my son

1462
02:22:01,820 --> 02:22:05,020
Um, and didn't link it didn't link

1463
02:22:05,820 --> 02:22:11,180
Well, that's here. We go got it. He's got it. I did a little workshop with my son

1464
02:22:11,180 --> 02:22:14,620
Oh exciting and if you have ever thought to yourself

1465
02:22:15,500 --> 02:22:22,060
Gee, you know I like watching Linus host a video, but I wonder why that is

1466
02:22:23,100 --> 02:22:29,740
I gave a about I think it's about 30 minutes long. I gave my son a crash course on

1467
02:22:31,580 --> 02:22:35,340
You know what it takes to get better at hosting in as little as

1468
02:22:36,220 --> 02:22:40,860
Half an hour just a bunch of little tips and tricks that I have picked up over the years

1469
02:22:41,500 --> 02:22:47,500
and so far their The reception has been really positive actually from the community

1470
02:22:47,900 --> 02:22:52,460
And it was the kind of thing that wasn't intended to be a an exclusive over on Floatplane

1471
02:22:52,940 --> 02:22:57,900
but We just we were we were having him help host that kindle review video

1472
02:22:58,460 --> 02:23:00,940
And I realized I kind of went oh, hey

1473
02:23:01,740 --> 02:23:06,780
This would be kind of neat We did this before with uh, tom peterson and ryan trout when they came up here from Intel

1474
02:23:07,260 --> 02:23:12,860
And I needed them to say something on the video and I was like, uh, you guys need to improve or like our retention

1475
02:23:12,860 --> 02:23:16,860
It's gonna suck and people really liked that exclusive. So this is kind of a longer

1476
02:23:17,260 --> 02:23:23,740
I'm excited for this longer version of that with an even greener host who has functionally zero experience

1477
02:23:23,740 --> 02:23:29,580
So if you've never hosted a video before it's a I won't call it a master class, but it's an adequate class

1478
02:23:30,140 --> 02:23:34,140
Um an adequate video class. Yeah adequate class. Exactly. Thank you

1479
02:23:34,700 --> 02:23:40,540
Because I'm not I'm not trained. I'm not the best video host I've ever met not even by a long shot

1480
02:23:40,860 --> 02:23:45,740
But I'm I'm pretty I'm pretty darn. Okay, and um, I think that I

1481
02:23:46,460 --> 02:23:53,340
Have a pretty good style of sort of identifying things and and explaining them. So yeah, it's a it's a good little good little exclusive

1482
02:23:53,340 --> 02:23:59,340
There was definitely more like I watching I haven't watched this yet, but having watched the the main video

1483
02:24:00,060 --> 02:24:04,620
There was definitely more learning to be done, but for a first video it did really really really well

1484
02:24:04,700 --> 02:24:09,340
Yeah, it was awesome. It was cool to watch if you're more into, you know merch

1485
02:24:10,140 --> 02:24:12,140
In this week's why is when late?

1486
02:24:13,340 --> 02:24:18,860
Oh, it says I work with kyle, which I assumed meant sammy, but no he means I worked with kyle

1487
02:24:18,940 --> 02:24:21,580
He writes these in your voice on choosing which

1488
02:24:22,300 --> 02:24:28,940
version Of the non-infringing purple screwdriver. We ultimately chose for mass production

1489
02:24:29,260 --> 02:24:35,260
I'm just going to mute this Basically kyle brought me five different versions of it

1490
02:24:35,900 --> 02:24:42,380
And I had to pick Which one to my eye and he also checked with other people. This is not a monarchy

1491
02:24:42,780 --> 02:24:48,220
But I had to pick which one to my eye Was the one to go to mass production

1492
02:24:49,260 --> 02:24:58,140
And turn into the kind of I and desk candy that so many members of the LTT community have been enjoying

1493
02:24:58,620 --> 02:25:03,440
The heck out of Someone actually posted an incredible

1494
02:25:04,140 --> 02:25:07,900
Collection of LTT screwdrivers over on the forum

1495
02:25:08,620 --> 02:25:12,620
This is nuts

1496
02:25:12,620 --> 02:25:14,620
Whoa, wow

1497
02:25:16,300 --> 02:25:21,020
Black shaft silver shaft orange and black

1498
02:25:21,020 --> 02:25:25,820
black staff black shaft silver shaft black and black

1499
02:25:25,820 --> 02:25:30,140
They've got the all black stuff that match and the orange and black stubby

1500
02:25:30,780 --> 02:25:35,820
Several shaft extensions both knocked to a colorways the non-infringing

1501
02:25:36,380 --> 02:25:42,620
Retro screwdriver, and they've even got a bunch of ones that were only available as like mystery

1502
02:25:43,260 --> 02:25:49,420
Um, so I think this is all of the end cap color ones and even one of the

1503
02:25:49,980 --> 02:25:52,140
Full color mystery ones along with

1504
02:25:53,100 --> 02:25:57,980
all Of the transparent and new retro transparent drivers

1505
02:25:58,620 --> 02:26:05,020
um Yeah, so people have been posting the heck out of their new screwdrivers and uh

1506
02:26:07,180 --> 02:26:09,180
Really enjoying the look of them

1507
02:26:10,460 --> 02:26:16,220
I actually have seen there's uh, there's quite a few really good ones of people posting the new uh, oh, yeah

1508
02:26:16,460 --> 02:26:20,780
Here, this is the very this is the top post on the subreddit right now like damn

1509
02:26:21,740 --> 02:26:23,740
How freaking awesome is that?

1510
02:26:25,180 --> 02:26:27,180
Wow, that looks great, right

1511
02:26:28,540 --> 02:26:32,780
And it's like it's there. There's a there's a bunch of people posting this stuff. Let's see if I can find it

1512
02:26:33,420 --> 02:26:38,380
Blah blah blah. Oh, hold on a second. It has I'm not oh wait. I am logged in

1513
02:26:39,260 --> 02:26:45,580
I don't know What I don't know who's the countdown on right now. So I don't know how it's sorting anything

1514
02:26:46,300 --> 02:26:51,020
uh Okay, neat. Let's not worry too much about that because there's like

1515
02:26:51,740 --> 02:26:54,540
Weak old posts that are coming up, but lately there's been a bunch

1516
02:26:56,940 --> 02:27:02,220
Good stuff. Why is this logged into someone's reddit account? I'm gonna log it out. Cool. Good chat

1517
02:27:02,540 --> 02:27:05,740
Is it just the the email that's I don't know

1518
02:27:07,420 --> 02:27:12,460
Oh Okay, yep. Let's let's not worry too much about that. Yeah, that's cool. Good chat

1519
02:27:13,100 --> 02:27:15,980
Uh, oh, this is an interesting one

1520
02:27:16,780 --> 02:27:20,300
From we were actually, uh, we meant to talk about this last week, but

1521
02:27:21,580 --> 02:27:25,500
Speaking of, you know insiders spilling the beans

1522
02:27:26,220 --> 02:27:30,460
A an alleged former amazon developer for amazon go

1523
02:27:31,100 --> 02:27:37,740
Reached out to me to correct the record interesting on the ai in these stores just being remote humans. So you remember when

1524
02:27:38,380 --> 02:27:43,500
um What what is it? What is that thing where ai stands for?

1525
02:27:44,460 --> 02:27:48,460
Uh, actually indians. Oh, yeah. Yeah, okay. Yeah, so

1526
02:27:49,260 --> 02:27:54,060
It broke a little while ago that the amazon go store was allegedly just

1527
02:27:55,340 --> 02:28:00,380
humans um mechanical turk. Yeah mechanical turking the the

1528
02:28:01,020 --> 02:28:05,100
Cashier list checkout and the machine vision. Mechanical turk is an amazon product

1529
02:28:05,340 --> 02:28:08,380
So in this case, it probably would have literally been mechanical turk

1530
02:28:09,260 --> 02:28:19,100
um, however a programmer who Says that they worked on the amazon go technology reached out to me to say, um, hey

1531
02:28:20,140 --> 02:28:23,820
Um, that's not actually really true. In fact

1532
02:28:24,620 --> 02:28:33,900
They claim that the reporting on that mechanical turk story was basically akin to journalistic malpractice because 80 percent of the actions observed in store

1533
02:28:34,220 --> 02:28:38,380
Were high confidence and were actually handled entirely by the machine learning models

1534
02:28:38,780 --> 02:28:47,180
While only 20 percent ish were mid or low confidence and were sent to be reviewed by mechanical turk for accuracy

1535
02:28:47,900 --> 02:28:53,660
The emailer also wanted to make it clear that they are not an amazon bootlicker

1536
02:28:54,140 --> 02:28:59,100
And were recently fired and i'm gonna not share the last part of their anecdote

1537
02:28:59,900 --> 02:29:04,700
But it's really funny really, but it would make it really easy to identify them

1538
02:29:05,660 --> 02:29:13,420
That's probably fair, but it's very funny. Um, it makes me if if real makes me really for sure believe this person

1539
02:29:14,700 --> 02:29:20,140
Yeah, i'm sorry. I would love to tell you guys, but I think I do not want to I do not want to out them

1540
02:29:20,380 --> 02:29:25,980
Yeah, and this would probably I guarantee you they're the only person who did this thing that they

1541
02:29:27,500 --> 02:29:32,780
Say they did um To sort of demonstrate that they're not an amazon bootlicker

1542
02:29:33,100 --> 02:29:36,700
So they just wanted us to know that the way that the story presented it was

1543
02:29:37,340 --> 02:29:41,340
Not really fair and mechanical turk was used for quality control

1544
02:29:41,900 --> 02:29:46,940
It doesn't really change that clearly they ran into a lot of the same challenges that

1545
02:29:47,980 --> 02:29:51,180
Self-driving vehicles have been running into where the first 80 percent

1546
02:29:51,900 --> 02:29:58,380
Is you know doable without the you know the heaviest lift and then it's that it's that last little bit

1547
02:29:58,380 --> 02:30:03,740
It's the edge cases that you have to solve for that are the hardest part that make a project like this potentially

1548
02:30:05,420 --> 02:30:13,420
No longer cost-effective And so ultimately they're obviously not working on that anymore amazon did can the program as far as i'm aware

1549
02:30:13,980 --> 02:30:23,660
uh, but No, it also wasn't just a bunch of people watching security camera feeds and you know entering your your checkout data

1550
02:30:24,060 --> 02:30:26,060
Yeah

1551
02:30:27,580 --> 02:30:31,740
Okay team viewer

1552
02:30:32,220 --> 02:30:35,660
Uh team viewer. Oh, yeah, sure. But did we do sponsors?

1553
02:30:36,460 --> 02:30:40,220
We have one more but we can talk about team viewer first. I'm so irritated

1554
02:30:41,020 --> 02:30:49,740
It's not news. What do we do? But i'm just really annoyed. I feel like something's gotta be done. The team viewer community is really upset about this

1555
02:30:50,620 --> 02:30:56,220
Hey, my perpetual license was deactivated for remote access. So only land mode works like

1556
02:30:57,580 --> 02:31:00,620
What? I'm not asking for updates or new features

1557
02:31:00,700 --> 02:31:06,300
I'm simply asking for my original remote access functionality, which existed at the time of purchase to not be taken away

1558
02:31:06,860 --> 02:31:13,260
Disabling the main feature of a perpetual license is effect effectively a termination or downgrade of the license

1559
02:31:13,980 --> 02:31:20,620
I want you to fix this Yeah, we're on the same ship. I hope they change heart. Yeah, they're not they're not going to

1560
02:31:21,260 --> 02:31:24,300
They are not taking enough flak for this

1561
02:31:24,780 --> 02:31:27,660
So let's help with that and uh, hey

1562
02:31:28,780 --> 02:31:33,180
Don't use team viewer Cool

1563
02:31:33,260 --> 02:31:36,140
Oh, no, karashi says we were hit by this at work

1564
02:31:36,700 --> 02:31:42,060
Ended up being strong armed into paying for a discounted subscription license. Why would you give them your business?

1565
02:31:42,860 --> 02:31:46,860
Use something else. There are other problems. There are other programs

1566
02:31:47,740 --> 02:31:50,860
guys No

1567
02:31:50,860 --> 02:31:52,860
Do we make like a video guide on?

1568
02:31:54,220 --> 02:31:56,780
Getting yourself out of team viewer. That's a pretty good idea

1569
02:31:57,500 --> 02:32:01,900
Because we still have stuff we use it for internally and we're gonna have to get rid of it

1570
02:32:02,060 --> 02:32:06,220
So like we need to get rid of it like now because i'm thinking like we got to do something

1571
02:32:06,380 --> 02:32:12,620
They have to they deserve to be struck. I'm down. Is that something that like Labs wants to work on potentially?

1572
02:32:12,780 --> 02:32:15,020
I mean in prep we could probably uh

1573
02:32:16,060 --> 02:32:19,100
It seems a little out of use case, but does it?

1574
02:32:19,980 --> 02:32:24,860
Yeah, I think so. Are we are we testing? I have no idea. I mean latency would matter

1575
02:32:25,580 --> 02:32:30,940
Adequate remote viewer service. I'm just you know, I'm gonna add it. I'll add it to the I'll add it to the pile

1576
02:32:31,500 --> 02:32:35,180
Okay All right. Yeah, let's work on alternatives

1577
02:32:35,980 --> 02:32:41,980
The team viewer Because yeah, just like I don't know team viewer basically. Yeah big time

1578
02:32:42,940 --> 02:32:46,220
I'm very sorry to hear um

1579
02:32:46,220 --> 02:32:51,980
That your company is still giving the money Because if you cancel perpetual licenses, you should just

1580
02:32:52,940 --> 02:32:56,620
You should just not be allowed to continue to exist. Yeah

1581
02:32:57,660 --> 02:33:02,380
Big time. Yeah, a lot of people are talking about rust desk. Apparently it's free and open source and can be self-hosted

1582
02:33:03,100 --> 02:33:09,180
Which is not the sales pitch that you think it is for a lot of organizations

1583
02:33:09,740 --> 02:33:13,500
Uh, maybe it can also here. I'm going to your screen

1584
02:33:15,740 --> 02:33:21,980
Okay, it does not have to be self-hosted. Okay, that's good. That's cool. It's really cool that they have a self-hosted option

1585
02:33:22,140 --> 02:33:25,660
There are a bunch of places that will not want that

1586
02:33:26,300 --> 02:33:31,660
People are talking about ninja rmm. I mean if you're looking to avoid a subscription that sure as heck is not going to be

1587
02:33:32,220 --> 02:33:40,700
The way that you're going to want to go Uh, what else we got? Apparently pancreas knows a bunch of options float viewer confirmed. No

1588
02:33:41,660 --> 02:33:48,460
um Noah de boss asks how about parsec to my knowledge parsec doesn't do mobile

1589
02:33:50,060 --> 02:33:56,140
That's that that was a big one for us as we needed something that worked mobile to desktop and desktop to mobile without

1590
02:33:56,780 --> 02:34:01,580
This is not a prepped topic without knowing

1591
02:34:01,900 --> 02:34:08,620
Competitors or anything parsec has been really nice for video editing stuff internally. Yeah, evan benjamin says parsec is only on Android

1592
02:34:09,500 --> 02:34:14,060
Not on iOS based up

1593
02:34:14,060 --> 02:34:19,020
I mean, no, that's not that's not a competitive advantage for the mook

1594
02:34:21,660 --> 02:34:26,940
Maybe they'll figure it out eventually. All right. Well, yeah, maybe this is something that we'll we'll look into on the writing side

1595
02:34:26,940 --> 02:34:32,300
And then we'll go from there I mean where Labs would be happy to like test something if you want me to test it here. I just

1596
02:34:33,100 --> 02:34:35,100
Yeah, yeah, that's fine. That's fair enough

1597
02:34:36,140 --> 02:34:41,100
Yeah, Labs is lazy. I get it No, I'm just all right. We'll do the whole video

1598
02:34:41,740 --> 02:34:48,300
It'll be like We'll just rebrand the channel Labs tech tips. Forget that Linus guy. Who needs him? I'm gonna make a Labs channel

1599
02:34:48,380 --> 02:34:53,340
I'll just do WAN Show. It's gonna happen. I'll do half of WAN Show actually. Yeah. Yeah, I get it right

1600
02:34:53,500 --> 02:35:02,700
All right, why don't we do our second uh sponsor read here the show is brought to you by motion gray. What what now?

1601
02:35:04,140 --> 02:35:06,540
Tordirk said testing your patience is a kind of testing

1602
02:35:09,820 --> 02:35:14,060
It's our kind i'm really good at The show is brought to you by motion gray

1603
02:35:14,060 --> 02:35:18,780
Hunching over a desk for those long gaming sessions can really start to make your back feel stiff

1604
02:35:19,100 --> 02:35:25,820
So maybe it's time to upgrade your desk Thanks to our sponsor motion gray. You don't have to empty your wallet in the process

1605
02:35:26,220 --> 02:35:33,100
Their ergo 2 pro sit stand desk is an affordable solution for anyone who wants more out of their office or gaming space

1606
02:35:33,500 --> 02:35:41,260
It comes with two german Bosch motors, which give smooth and reliable height adjustments from 28 to 46 inches

1607
02:35:41,660 --> 02:35:46,780
And it can handle up to 176 pounds of weight, which based on the quick math of the business

1608
02:35:47,340 --> 02:35:50,460
Is about 704 cosco glissies

1609
02:35:52,780 --> 02:35:57,660
Okay Everything arrives in a single box with all the tools you need to set it up

1610
02:35:57,820 --> 02:36:05,740
So stop settling for a static desk and instead get an affordable sit stand desk with our link in the video description and then

1611
02:36:07,020 --> 02:36:14,620
Pile it with hot dogs Uh, yeah, rad on man says what is a glissie? I assume

1612
02:36:15,180 --> 02:36:17,660
At that it's a hot dog. It's a hot dog. You know for

1613
02:36:18,380 --> 02:36:20,700
Labs's last quarterly event we did

1614
02:36:21,820 --> 02:36:26,380
We did fine dining and curling. Oh, okay. That's cool. The fine dining was cosco

1615
02:36:26,860 --> 02:36:31,500
Nice. Nice. So we went to the cosco food court and piled up like a huge

1616
02:36:31,980 --> 02:36:35,820
We I borrowed one of the like, you know cardboard box things that you can get when you're at cosco

1617
02:36:36,060 --> 02:36:42,300
And we just filled it up mostly with hot dogs But there was other things in there as well get some pizza of the great the fries with the gravy pool

1618
02:36:42,380 --> 02:36:47,420
There was pizza there's everyone could like order basically whatever and then we got a few did anyone get a chicken

1619
02:36:48,460 --> 02:36:52,700
No, because we didn't go into cosco. I tell you my son pulled that move a little while ago

1620
02:36:53,340 --> 02:36:58,060
Just a whole rotisserie chicken. Yeah, he just like we were getting lunch at the at the deli

1621
02:36:58,140 --> 02:37:01,820
It wasn't actually at cosco But it was like at a grocery store that had rotisserie chickens

1622
02:37:02,220 --> 02:37:07,660
And everyone was like getting like a you know, like a meal thing and he just got an entire rotisserie chicken

1623
02:37:07,980 --> 02:37:13,420
Sick and I was like, are you going to eat all that and he's like i'm 13 protein goals accomplished. So anyway carry on

1624
02:37:13,580 --> 02:37:15,580
Yeah, that's a good answer

1625
02:37:18,060 --> 02:37:25,660
Yeah, um I was going to say yeah, and it was I was stunned at how cheap it was to feed like

1626
02:37:26,460 --> 02:37:32,220
A large amount of people I'm stunned that for the simple price of how much we save on their hot dogs and rotisserie chicken

1627
02:37:32,380 --> 02:37:36,060
Costco managed to infiltrate our sponsor spots without paying us any actual money

All right, that's it for the sponsors for the show today. We've got a couple more topics and then I think it's time for after dark

1637
02:38:33,180 --> 02:38:39,500
Oh, here's a good one An unlucky rtx 5080 buyer received rocks

1638
02:38:40,300 --> 02:38:44,060
in their box in socks

1639
02:38:44,060 --> 02:38:48,460
eating locks Posted it to tick tock

1640
02:38:48,460 --> 02:38:55,180
It doesn't matter the point is they got rocks in their box and best buy after I think about a six minute

1641
02:38:56,060 --> 02:39:01,980
Determined that they weren't going to do anything for them. So they went and did their own darn investigation

1642
02:39:02,700 --> 02:39:04,700
finding that

1643
02:39:06,140 --> 02:39:13,340
After placing constant calls to filing a better business bureau complaint filing a police report

1644
02:39:13,900 --> 02:39:19,580
and Finding evidence that the package gained weight in transit

1645
02:39:20,620 --> 02:39:25,100
The user which is like so pathetic. They didn't even Indiana Jones it properly

1646
02:39:25,420 --> 02:39:28,620
I know right criminals man. Yeah, I know a joke. I know

1647
02:39:29,100 --> 02:39:34,140
Um, so basically found in their own investigation that the package gained weight in transit

1648
02:39:34,540 --> 02:39:41,900
And got best buy to finally agree to refund and to best buys credit even price match the original deal

1649
02:39:42,540 --> 02:39:47,500
The buyer and this is hilarious apparently got

1650
02:39:47,580 --> 02:39:51,740
a commemorative tattoo from their girlfriend

1651
02:39:52,780 --> 02:39:57,740
to uh Well, I guess if it's a commemorative tattoo then it's to commemorate

1652
02:39:58,140 --> 02:40:03,740
The ordeal, but I'm actually I'm not finding that image. I do. It's the very last one. I've got it blink

1653
02:40:04,300 --> 02:40:11,580
nice So it was it was a tough gaming GPU. So that's the ASUS tough gaming logo on a rock

1654
02:40:11,980 --> 02:40:16,460
Which is pretty funny. That's actually pretty good. It does look like the logo is glowing and everything

1655
02:40:17,260 --> 02:40:20,940
This is one of those ones where it's like I can see I can definitely see

1656
02:40:21,500 --> 02:40:25,500
Both sides of the story. I mean best buy must get see that's the thing about fraudsters

1657
02:40:25,900 --> 02:40:31,260
Is they will find any opportunity to fraud and so best buy probably does get a lot of fraudulent

1658
02:40:31,740 --> 02:40:37,820
Her dear I got bricks in my GPU box. Dude. I yeah, I worked there. This happened all the time

1659
02:40:38,860 --> 02:40:46,380
Actually all the time so I can understand why they're just like people would buy her dear forget it xbox 360s and return them without the hard drives

1660
02:40:47,340 --> 02:40:52,540
I'm obvious what's going on there customer service person wouldn't notice because they don't necessarily

1661
02:40:52,620 --> 02:40:55,580
They're not necessarily familiar with xbox 360s or whatever

1662
02:40:55,980 --> 02:41:01,420
They'd be yeah, they'd be missing stuff all the time Why buy an accessory when you can just like steal it. Yeah, right. Yeah

1663
02:41:02,380 --> 02:41:08,460
So I can understand that But also like this stuff does happen stuff does get stolen

1664
02:41:09,180 --> 02:41:12,060
In transit and so I this user was

1665
02:41:12,460 --> 02:41:19,820
Rightfully outraged and the fact that it was so easy to investigate and find out that yeah when this package was weighed

1666
02:41:19,980 --> 02:41:26,220
It stopped weighing the same It just feels like best buy didn't even want to solve it. I don't like that

1667
02:41:27,420 --> 02:41:30,380
And the dumbest part is that because of the way that this happened

1668
02:41:30,860 --> 02:41:37,180
Best buy should actually be entitled to compensation from the courier. This is the courier's problem. This is not best buys liability

1669
02:41:39,820 --> 02:41:43,820
So that uh That shopper was one

1670
02:41:44,620 --> 02:41:46,620
Tough customer

1671
02:41:51,740 --> 02:41:59,420
I feel like Dan was prepped for that It's like loaded and ready. It was overhanding it. Yeah, yeah, you know like that old movie from probably

1672
02:41:59,420 --> 02:42:06,380
I'm assuming when we were relatively young Uh of that kid who played baseball and his ARM would like you'd hear like

1673
02:42:07,660 --> 02:42:10,300
And then he'd let go and it would fire off and he ended up playing and like

1674
02:42:11,820 --> 02:42:16,300
Professional leagues. Do you have anyone? Does anyone know I'm talking rookie of the year rookie of the year

1675
02:42:17,900 --> 02:42:23,580
Rookie of the year. Okay. Yeah. No, I've never seen this is it. Wow. The pankrats had that on deck

1676
02:42:24,620 --> 02:42:27,820
Um, but yeah that that uh, that was Dan right there

1677
02:42:28,620 --> 02:42:32,300
Okay, 1993 Ready to hit the bell

1678
02:42:32,300 --> 02:42:36,620
Okay, I probably should have uh, I probably should have seen that one. I'm on the right

1679
02:42:36,700 --> 02:42:44,300
It's a 40 on rotten tomato. So maybe not oh yikes. I mean I pulled out airbud, which probably isn't rated much better

1680
02:42:44,620 --> 02:42:50,300
Yeah, but airbud is legendary I mean rookie of the year is legendary for me, but it might not be for

1681
02:42:50,940 --> 02:42:55,740
For other people. Dude. I don't know. There's some pretty good movies that are rated pretty bad

1682
02:42:55,740 --> 02:42:59,580
Yeah, airbud's a 50 percent and a 40 percent from the audience. So

1683
02:43:00,300 --> 02:43:02,460
Not so much, but this is going to blow your mind

1684
02:43:03,420 --> 02:43:12,540
The boondock saints is rated 26 percent by critics. I had no idea wait by critics. Okay. Yeah

1685
02:43:12,780 --> 02:43:16,460
Who cares about that? No, seriously though, but like wait with den with that clock

1686
02:43:16,940 --> 02:43:20,620
I was going to say that would definitely go on the list would work for your thing 100 percent

1687
02:43:20,780 --> 02:43:22,780
That is a movie to watch how

1688
02:43:23,980 --> 02:43:28,780
And like okay, listen, I haven't watched that movie since I was in my late teens early 20s

1689
02:43:29,340 --> 02:43:32,860
so Maybe maybe stylistically

1690
02:43:33,580 --> 02:43:41,340
artistically It's a crap movie. Maybe it has a bad plot or it's full of cliches and tropes or you know, whatever maybe maybe

1691
02:43:42,140 --> 02:43:48,460
but like I remember enjoying it a lot. I thought it was cool

1692
02:43:49,260 --> 02:43:51,660
It's been forever since I've seen it, but I thought it was cool

1693
02:43:52,460 --> 02:43:59,180
Critics consensus a juvenile ugly movie that represents the worst tendencies of directors channeling Tarantino

1694
02:44:01,180 --> 02:44:06,940
Well, I thought it was awesome. Yeah, I thought it was pretty cool. But again, I haven't seen it since I was quite young

1695
02:44:07,980 --> 02:44:11,100
Who did direct this? Troy Duffy. What else have you directed?

1696
02:44:12,460 --> 02:44:20,780
Oh, okay Not much the sequel to the boondock saints, which nobody liked and no whatever the heck guest house is

1697
02:44:21,340 --> 02:44:31,180
a zero percenter Wow, this guy looks like he just watched the guest house. Yeah, really. I don't know if I've ever seen a zero

1698
02:44:32,140 --> 02:44:36,700
Uh, yeah, that one that I was almost in but got cut out of was a zero for a while

1699
02:44:37,100 --> 02:44:39,740
That makes I think it's one percent now. Oh

1700
02:44:41,340 --> 02:44:48,220
Oh, it's up to four percent probably Uh, yeah, it only takes two people to give it some amazon reviews came in. Yeah

1701
02:44:49,500 --> 02:44:51,500
The plot is ludicrous

1702
02:44:53,340 --> 02:44:59,180
It's a true desktop disaster. I hope that person knew what they were doing. I hope so too. They didn't spell it right though

1703
02:44:59,740 --> 02:45:01,740
Oh, maybe they didn't then

1704
02:45:03,820 --> 02:45:08,060
Luda All right, um, what else we got for today

1705
02:45:08,940 --> 02:45:15,260
Apple find a hundred and sixteen million dollars over app. Actually, no, let's let's go to this one because people keep posting about it

1706
02:45:15,740 --> 02:45:20,220
Where is it? We don't have notes for this Um, Corsair cancels orders and increases prices

1707
02:45:20,380 --> 02:45:25,340
This was mentioned in the pre-show just from some people in chat. Yeah, this is not a prepared topic

1708
02:45:25,820 --> 02:45:30,860
Um, but we have a link over to I guess our subreddit that is talking about

1709
02:45:31,420 --> 02:45:36,140
Corsair's subreddit and some of what's going on again because this is not a prepared topic

1710
02:45:36,140 --> 02:45:41,820
We don't have a lot of notes for this but um, apparently theoretically what's happening is

1711
02:45:42,860 --> 02:45:46,780
Corsair is cancelling orders and yeah, then

1712
02:45:47,500 --> 02:45:51,740
Hiking prices. I think I read No, yeah in this one

1713
02:45:51,740 --> 02:45:55,980
If I scroll down here and this is still on the line of detective subreddit

1714
02:45:55,980 --> 02:45:59,820
So I haven't actually gone to Corsair subreddit yet, but this person shared this photo

1715
02:46:00,380 --> 02:46:04,140
Um, yeah, I had my RAM order cancelled by them to be fair

1716
02:46:04,140 --> 02:46:08,540
It was definitely pricing error on their part 48 gigabytes of DDR5 or 200 bucks

1717
02:46:08,540 --> 02:46:13,340
But still very disappointing the prices for the same ran is now double now and you can see this screenshot

1718
02:46:13,740 --> 02:46:20,860
That basically says it was a system error So they cancelled it on you and they tried to offer a gesture of goodwill of 15 off your next order

1719
02:46:21,980 --> 02:46:27,500
Okay, people are saying in in chat. I read this earlier that in some areas of the world

1720
02:46:28,460 --> 02:46:33,100
Maybe not where this is happening. Maybe this is only happening in the states. I don't know but in some areas in the world

1721
02:46:34,540 --> 02:46:38,620
This is Illegal apparently

1722
02:46:38,620 --> 02:46:42,060
But I don't know if it's illegal where they're doing it. I don't know where they're doing it

1723
02:46:42,300 --> 02:46:46,380
Again, this is a fairly unprepared topic. Um, but pretty

1724
02:46:47,420 --> 02:46:50,140
crazy, um, especially while

1725
02:46:50,860 --> 02:46:56,620
Tensions are rather high over RAM and most of the posts that I'm seeing about this is

1726
02:46:57,420 --> 02:47:01,740
Um, RAM stuff Yeah

1727
02:47:07,740 --> 02:47:10,780
Okay, yeah, I don't know there's a lot of these posts

1728
02:47:13,020 --> 02:47:16,700
There's actually quite a few of them it's going through the course they're subreddit

1729
02:47:22,460 --> 02:47:27,580
Okay, but I don't necessarily have a ton to say about it. Yeah, I don't know if it's actually a pricing error

1730
02:47:27,980 --> 02:47:34,540
um Then it is what it is and it's actually kind of nice of them to offer a 15 discount

1731
02:47:35,100 --> 02:47:43,340
Uh, if it's not A pricing error and it's just pricing going up and them not accounting for it and updating things quickly enough

1732
02:47:43,740 --> 02:47:52,700
That is a pricing error of sorts But it's not a pricing error like a like a data input error in the way that we would typically think of a pricing error

1733
02:47:53,100 --> 02:47:55,500
And the fact that this is happening on complete systems

1734
02:47:57,180 --> 02:48:02,300
Kind of leads me to believe that it could be the latter in which case it's not very cool

1735
02:48:02,780 --> 02:48:06,140
Um, either way, it's again not a prepared topic. We don't really know what's going on

1736
02:48:06,140 --> 02:48:11,900
Yeah, it's going to be down to sort of following this up with your local consumer protection bureau assuming that you have one

1737
02:48:12,620 --> 02:48:18,860
and uh Otherwise or just or just ordering RAM from another apparently they've cranked up the discount

1738
02:48:18,940 --> 02:48:25,740
Here's an updated message that I found on a thread. Oh, uh, we are not on a thread. This is a a post itself

1739
02:48:25,820 --> 02:48:32,300
Sorry, I don't read it enough. Um Truly understand, but uh 40 off a single DRAM product of your choice

1740
02:48:32,460 --> 02:48:37,340
Okay, was the other one for a full system though because I could see 10 off a full system being

1741
02:48:37,580 --> 02:48:43,660
I'm not sure but what I do see here at the bottom says the original 15 cube on remains valid for other components on our

1742
02:48:43,740 --> 02:48:47,180
Web store got it. So that was probably for a system. Oh

1743
02:48:47,660 --> 02:48:55,740
Okay, interesting sounds more like DRAM to me So what this tells me then is Corsair has some stock probably of DRAM that they are

1744
02:48:56,380 --> 02:49:00,940
That is at old contract pricing and they're able to use some of the margin that they have

1745
02:49:01,580 --> 02:49:07,740
On their DRAM that they have at the old pricing as pricing is going up to offer a discount and I mean that's something at least

1746
02:49:08,860 --> 02:49:16,220
Yeah, all right, again, don't know all the details blah blah blah insert various caveats. Oh speaking of the LTT subreddit

1747
02:49:16,540 --> 02:49:20,380
Um before anyone notices it and goes. Sorry what?

1748
02:49:21,020 --> 02:49:25,740
Um, oh shoot. I can't I can't see a list of moderators without being logged in

1749
02:49:25,740 --> 02:49:28,940
But I am officially a moderator on the subreddit now

1750
02:49:29,260 --> 02:49:34,540
This is not because our plan is to you know be meanies and censor people

1751
02:49:35,100 --> 02:49:39,180
um, but Can I make a new account and you flag me as me then?

1752
02:49:39,740 --> 02:49:43,340
Yeah, I can do that because I can't recover my old reddit account. Oh, okay

1753
02:49:43,500 --> 02:49:46,300
Unless someone watching like knows people at reddit and can help me

1754
02:49:47,260 --> 02:49:52,860
Oh, I mean that's probably true too. That would be awesome because I can't recover my old reddit account. Cool

1755
02:49:53,420 --> 02:49:56,620
It seems like when we migrated from last pass to keeper

1756
02:49:56,780 --> 02:50:02,220
Maybe that password didn't come along and I never attached it to an email because you at least used to be able to do that on reddit

1757
02:50:02,220 --> 02:50:09,820
So there seems to be no way for me to recover the account I can log into it. I just have to boot up my old computer which still has an active session

1758
02:50:10,300 --> 02:50:18,220
For whatever reason it's been like You know, I I'm pretty sure the time gap in which I tried it was like over six months

1759
02:50:19,020 --> 02:50:22,540
And then it just it worked no problem, but even being logged into the account

1760
02:50:22,540 --> 02:50:26,700
I can't do anything to recover it or set a new password. So I have been locked out

1761
02:50:27,500 --> 02:50:31,020
cool So, yeah, the goal is not to you know

1762
02:50:32,700 --> 02:50:35,340
Be mean or anything like that

1763
02:50:35,820 --> 02:50:42,620
But I'm also not going to claim that if I see someone who's a complete bad faith

1764
02:50:42,860 --> 02:50:47,820
Dumb dumb that they will continue to have posting privileges. So make of that

1765
02:50:48,460 --> 02:50:53,820
what you will so for instance, there's a thread about the new true spec cables and

1766
02:50:56,780 --> 02:51:03,820
You know, these are going to be the new monster cable and they're going to be have absurd pricing and

1767
02:51:04,860 --> 02:51:12,700
You can just I don't know post on other subreddits I guess because you don't actually have evidence for the claim that you're making

1768
02:51:13,260 --> 02:51:18,460
Um, I think if the community counters that person significantly enough, it might even be good to leave it up

1769
02:51:19,100 --> 02:51:25,180
Um, why? Uh, so that people can see that an argument for that was made and immediately discounted

1770
02:51:26,700 --> 02:51:29,100
But I mean, that's all your call. Yeah

1771
02:51:30,060 --> 02:51:34,140
All right, duly noted It's just an just an idea

1772
02:51:34,380 --> 02:51:38,780
I think there will be cases where that makes sense and there will be plenty of cases where that does not make sense

1773
02:51:40,060 --> 02:51:44,860
Yeah, I don't know. I think uh, I think buddy here who says I've always wanted to buy

1774
02:51:45,500 --> 02:51:50,620
Expensive overpriced usb cables, but didn't feel like going to Best Buy. I think they can just take a vacation though

1775
02:51:51,900 --> 02:51:54,540
Like do they what why why do they need to be here?

1776
02:51:55,980 --> 02:51:58,940
I mean the hate watchers need somewhere to post but they could post somewhere else

1777
02:51:59,420 --> 02:52:02,540
There are other places. There are other places where people can post

1778
02:52:02,540 --> 02:52:07,100
That is an option. It's a hundred percent an option. I'll think about it so far

1779
02:52:07,260 --> 02:52:13,500
I have not I have not banned anyone, but uh, I don't know. That's not necessarily a guarantee is all I'm saying

1780
02:52:16,860 --> 02:52:23,500
And to be clear this is not down to So people in chat are saying dissenting opinions are okay. So here's the problem

1781
02:52:24,460 --> 02:52:26,860
This is not a product that they have seen

1782
02:52:27,900 --> 02:52:34,540
It's not a product that they know anything about If we reviewed things site unseen you'd be pissed. Yeah, you'd hate it

1783
02:52:35,420 --> 02:52:41,820
You'd say that we've completely lost all credibility and any right to offer up an opinion on things

1784
02:52:41,820 --> 02:52:45,580
If we just said stuff completely without any precedent for it or any evidence

1785
02:52:46,380 --> 02:52:49,500
It's just completely bad faith engagement and there's

1786
02:52:50,140 --> 02:52:55,580
Really no need for it. Now if someone wants to review the cables, that's totally different. Go for it. That's totally different

1787
02:52:55,580 --> 02:53:02,380
We've even highlighted reviews of our products that contain negative sentiments here on the windshow. Yep

1788
02:53:02,780 --> 02:53:05,900
We're open to that But if you're just

1789
02:53:05,900 --> 02:53:09,500
Trashing on something that you don't know anything about you don't know the pricing

1790
02:53:09,660 --> 02:53:15,660
You don't know the quality and you're just saying it's bad. You have outed yourself. You've outed yourself as

1791
02:53:17,980 --> 02:53:23,100
A non credible non serious person. No, that's not that's not the same thing guys

1792
02:53:24,060 --> 02:53:27,740
You don't get to have an opinion about something that you don't

1793
02:53:28,460 --> 02:53:30,780
Actually know literally anything about

1794
02:53:31,560 --> 02:53:37,100
Demonstrably you don't know anything about it just kind of doesn't really work like that

1795
02:53:44,700 --> 02:53:51,260
Unique username asks will you delete comments that assume the product is great without them having seen it or having evidenced otherwise

1796
02:53:52,060 --> 02:53:54,700
I don't think I saw any

1797
02:53:56,700 --> 02:54:02,220
Sorry say that again. I wasn't listening Well, you also delete someone who assumes that the product is great

1798
02:54:02,540 --> 02:54:11,020
Without them having seen it or having it be evidenced otherwise I will say that I banned someone on the youtube channel who was who was spamming

1799
02:54:11,580 --> 02:54:15,660
Um an inaccurate defense of some scandal that we had

1800
02:54:16,460 --> 02:54:23,020
so they they were like Ra ra ra super pro LTT also not hopeful about something

1801
02:54:23,580 --> 02:54:27,820
And there was misinformation in their defense. So I shadow banned them

1802
02:54:28,860 --> 02:54:33,020
So no, I'm not interested in people white knighting inaccurately

1803
02:54:34,220 --> 02:54:36,220
However

1804
02:54:42,860 --> 02:54:46,540
That one requires a think that one definitely requires a think

1805
02:54:47,500 --> 02:54:51,500
All right, king jarra says you get to have an opinion on anything. It's an opinion

1806
02:54:52,780 --> 02:54:57,660
Yeah, but it's also not a it's not a government public forum. Yeah, you can go have that opinion anywhere

1807
02:54:57,820 --> 02:55:03,580
You can do it somewhere else. I don't I don't personally like I think there are so I used to be really ra ra about

1808
02:55:06,140 --> 02:55:11,900
Moderation standards on on in certain ways and blah blah blah blah, but I think the internet is so huge now

1809
02:55:12,060 --> 02:55:16,380
You and I were like militantly. Nothing should be deleted. Yeah for a very long time

1810
02:55:16,780 --> 02:55:22,460
The the only like primary rule on the forum was that you can attack us too

1811
02:55:22,940 --> 02:55:29,100
But no personal tax against other people Um and that like that's even that's like really really open

1812
02:55:29,740 --> 02:55:31,740
But now there's just there's just

1813
02:55:32,860 --> 02:55:38,700
It's so easy to mass generate accounts. It's so easy to ai spam with things

1814
02:55:39,420 --> 02:55:42,220
um there's so much like

1815
02:55:42,460 --> 02:55:47,820
group think hatred for Everything you could possibly ever imagine. I'm not even just talking about us

1816
02:55:48,300 --> 02:55:53,340
Um at all to be clear. Um, and it's so easy to hijack a community

1817
02:55:54,620 --> 02:55:59,100
with Surprisingly little effort to just make it a terrible place

1818
02:56:00,220 --> 02:56:04,700
And it's so common now that I just I just don't really care anymore

1819
02:56:05,180 --> 02:56:08,780
Um, there are 10 million other places on the internet more than that that you can go

1820
02:56:09,420 --> 02:56:12,220
It's not like we're like taking your house from you

1821
02:56:12,940 --> 02:56:17,420
like It's literally reddit. There's probably more of subreddits than that

1822
02:56:18,620 --> 02:56:22,060
Oh, there are also other subreddits that will talk about us and our stuff

1823
02:56:23,820 --> 02:56:29,340
Binky draws says i'm a moderator on a medium-sized discord server and there's a huge problem with bot accounts

1824
02:56:29,580 --> 02:56:32,460
Yeah, like it's it's uh, it's actually unreasonable to

1825
02:56:33,340 --> 02:56:38,220
Do in my opinion, what would be considered as like old style of moderation anymore? Um

1826
02:56:38,780 --> 02:56:47,180
Yeah And there's a big difference between saying that you feel

1827
02:56:48,700 --> 02:56:58,060
That the cables might be overpriced and low quality versus saying definitively that it is. Yeah, sure huge difference

1828
02:57:02,700 --> 02:57:13,180
All right, what else we got going on here Oh NVIDIA and AMD rumored to be preparing GPU price hikes in q1 of 2026 and

1829
02:57:14,780 --> 02:57:22,780
Adding some weight to this an ASUS letter has allegedly leaked announcing price hikes starting january 5th

1830
02:57:23,340 --> 02:57:27,740
Which means that it could be our um

1831
02:57:28,540 --> 02:57:32,540
It could be our last positive

1832
02:57:32,540 --> 02:57:36,300
How much is the Intel arc b580?

1833
02:57:37,340 --> 02:57:39,340
investigation check

1834
02:57:40,460 --> 02:57:43,020
Is the b580 still msr? Oh god, what is this?

1835
02:57:49,420 --> 02:57:52,140
Are you kidding me? Wait, wait, wait. Oh out of stock

1836
02:57:53,740 --> 02:57:59,100
No, is that another stock to you? No. Yeah, i'm down into i'm down into all the out of stock stuff

1837
02:58:00,140 --> 02:58:04,300
No Was last week the last one

1838
02:58:05,740 --> 02:58:10,540
Dan don't tell people to panic Why would you tell people to panic?

1839
02:58:11,020 --> 02:58:16,140
It's all going wrong. Why would you why would you spray? Why would you spread panic literally?

1840
02:58:16,700 --> 02:58:19,180
Literally spreading panic burn down your village

1841
02:58:20,140 --> 02:58:25,100
Okay, hold on hold on wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Oh, it's an open box. That's an open box

1842
02:58:26,540 --> 02:58:30,940
Wait, but hold on Is this a shift in usd cad?

1843
02:58:31,500 --> 02:58:37,420
No, it's more of a gap than that. This is us. What is there msr? Oh, no, this you have this. I'm on the us site, dude

1844
02:58:37,900 --> 02:58:41,500
So what is it supposed to be again 249 for the b580?

1845
02:58:42,540 --> 02:58:44,940
And the lowest one is 299

1846
02:58:45,740 --> 02:58:49,420
It hit the holiday bundle is still there, but it's over

1847
02:58:50,620 --> 02:58:53,340
b580 at msrp party is over

1848
02:58:55,820 --> 02:58:59,420
Oh boy No

1849
02:59:02,540 --> 02:59:04,540
No

1850
02:59:07,900 --> 02:59:14,220
Oh, that is such a downer Cell cell cell dump it Dan stop it

1851
02:59:16,460 --> 02:59:19,900
You are not you are the definition of not helping

1852
02:59:20,780 --> 02:59:32,300
All right, what about canada? Okay b580 can computers are you gonna let me down here?

1853
02:59:33,740 --> 02:59:40,140
Okay Online sold out online available for 400. That's way over 250

1854
02:59:41,100 --> 02:59:45,020
No No

1855
02:59:45,580 --> 02:59:48,620
No, it's 300 us now

1856
02:59:49,900 --> 02:59:52,780
Oh, this is probably not the end of it either. All right

1857
02:59:53,180 --> 02:59:58,060
359 from new egg reports out of korea say no, there was one for 299

1858
02:59:58,460 --> 03:00:00,780
Reports out of korea say that in no cad

1859
03:00:01,500 --> 03:00:04,300
Sorry, what cad? Oh where on new egg? Yeah

1860
03:00:05,020 --> 03:00:08,220
Is it in stock? I don't see a thing that says stock to be honest

1861
03:00:08,700 --> 03:00:10,700
Yeah, I took heart. I think you're good

1862
03:00:12,380 --> 03:00:17,020
Boom Okay, so you can still get them at new egg canada

1863
03:00:17,580 --> 03:00:22,620
For about 249 us actually it's a touch higher, but it's a little bit higher. It's not too bad

1864
03:00:22,620 --> 03:00:27,900
That is often how that goes. All right. Do I get to finish the sentence now? Yes. I'm having a very luke experience

1865
03:00:28,940 --> 03:00:36,140
Reports out of korea say I have to do it again that NVIDIA and AMD are planning to jack up GPU prices throughout the show

1866
03:00:36,300 --> 03:00:42,220
in early 2026 and the top end gforce rtx 5090 could end up around five

1867
03:00:43,180 --> 03:00:46,700
Thousand dollars, which is more than double what it first launched for

1868
03:00:47,420 --> 03:00:54,460
Memory costs and broader GPU supply issues are squeezing component prices and makers are said to be shifting

1869
03:00:55,020 --> 03:01:01,340
More of their production towards ai and data centers, which will boost prices across the board

1870
03:01:01,820 --> 03:01:09,420
The hikes are expected to happen in steps throughout q1 2026 affecting not only flagship cards, but a range of consumer gpus

1871
03:01:10,300 --> 03:01:15,100
Meanwhile, ASUS sent partners a notice that starting january 5th of 2026

1872
03:01:15,500 --> 03:01:20,060
It will raise prices on some of its products right before ces gets going

1873
03:01:21,180 --> 03:01:26,620
Roughly translated ASUS's letter doesn't list exact models. It just says they're doing strategic price

1874
03:01:27,180 --> 03:01:30,140
adjustments on certain product combinations

1875
03:01:31,180 --> 03:01:33,900
Discussion question in your time as a tech enthusiast

1876
03:01:34,300 --> 03:01:41,260
Can you remember a worst start to the new year for the tech industry price hikes and shortages seems like a pretty bad way to kick off

1877
03:01:42,060 --> 03:01:44,060
2026

1878
03:01:45,500 --> 03:01:52,220
um I don't know it's this is a tough one because on the one hand there's a lot of bad news

1879
03:01:52,780 --> 03:01:55,740
This is all bad news WAN Show has kind of become bad news show

1880
03:01:56,540 --> 03:02:03,740
yeah, but And this is part of remember that that conversation we had over the kind of the last couple of weeks about sort of the bright side

1881
03:02:04,780 --> 03:02:12,220
bright side of tech and gaming This is one of the things that made its way into the full LTT video on this

1882
03:02:13,420 --> 03:02:16,140
Okay, you can go to pc part picker right now

1883
03:02:17,100 --> 03:02:21,500
And you can select Magnificent AMD gaming and streaming build

1884
03:02:22,300 --> 03:02:30,140
And this thing really is magnificent It has a 9800 x3d the fastest gaming processor known to mankind

1885
03:02:30,620 --> 03:02:39,100
It has a sick thermal right Giant dual tower cooler. It has a b580 pro a

1886
03:02:39,580 --> 03:02:44,780
Motherboard or whatever you could get some other motherboard if you really want actually apparently this one's out of stock. Let's see

1887
03:02:45,820 --> 03:02:50,140
Everything else is either Uh-oh

1888
03:02:50,140 --> 03:02:57,100
Hold on. We might be in trouble Okay, when I looked earlier this week this particular GPU was in stock

1889
03:02:57,260 --> 03:03:00,380
Oh No at time of filming

1890
03:03:00,860 --> 03:03:05,100
At time of filming. Hold on. Let's try and find another one. I'm gonna find one. I'm gonna find one

1891
03:03:05,820 --> 03:03:11,500
Just a sec. Just a second. I'm gonna recover this. There's two different magnificent builds. Hold on. Hold on. There's an Intel on an AMD

1892
03:03:12,540 --> 03:03:17,100
Oh, what am I doing? Getting distracted

1893
03:03:17,340 --> 03:03:24,220
Rtx 5080. Okay. Okay. Here we go. Here we go. Okay, so for 11 11 99. Okay, so that's a little more. That's a little more

1894
03:03:24,620 --> 03:03:30,380
It is 17 16 dollars more. Okay, so that's fine my point stands

1895
03:03:30,700 --> 03:03:36,140
So you just got to go find a motherboard which is fine. Okay. Well, so we'll pay at most maybe another like 30 40 bucks

1896
03:03:36,300 --> 03:03:41,900
Okay, everything else here is in stock. Cool. Okay, so this is a sick system

1897
03:03:42,300 --> 03:03:47,900
32 gigs of DDR5 6000 cl 30 memory. It's a nice little memory kit two terabytes

1898
03:03:48,140 --> 03:03:50,940
This is samsung 980 pro. There's a nice SSD

1899
03:03:51,500 --> 03:03:58,380
Okay, rtx 5080 argb quick case from Corsair. You could save a few bucks by not going Corsair

1900
03:03:58,860 --> 03:04:03,820
Uh thousand watt 80 plus gold modular power supply. This is a sick build

1901
03:04:04,620 --> 03:04:08,780
for let's call it 2650 us dollars

1902
03:04:09,340 --> 03:04:14,060
is If we're looking at the guides page of pc park bigger, which ones?

1903
03:04:14,940 --> 03:04:20,940
Is maybe top two. Do you think people are actually building that hold on hold on that's not quite the point

1904
03:04:21,260 --> 03:04:28,620
Yeah, okay. I think it matters, but all right. The point is that we did a 4k gaming system build guide 11 years ago

1905
03:04:30,860 --> 03:04:33,900
Putting together a top spec gaming machine

1906
03:04:34,620 --> 03:04:42,060
was four thousand dollars At that time the 4k build was 4k. I actually remember joking about that at the time

1907
03:04:42,380 --> 03:04:45,980
So Is it bad?

1908
03:04:45,980 --> 03:04:51,340
Well, yeah, it's definitely bad that this RAM is more expensive than it was

1909
03:04:51,660 --> 03:04:55,580
It's definitely bad that GPU prices are going up

1910
03:04:58,140 --> 03:05:04,220
But Gaming and tech have still kind of been there for us in a pretty big way

1911
03:05:04,780 --> 03:05:09,260
The fact that I can buy an absolute monster of a machine

1912
03:05:09,820 --> 03:05:16,540
For 2,500 bucks compared to the way that everything else in our lives is going up

1913
03:05:19,260 --> 03:05:21,260
It's pretty cool

1914
03:05:23,740 --> 03:05:30,380
It could be better. Yeah, I'd love it if it was better. Yeah, I also think like the the disproportional hit is not on people

1915
03:05:31,100 --> 03:05:34,620
Buying the magnificent build and that's true and that's true

1916
03:05:35,660 --> 03:05:40,940
It's rough. Yeah It was like even if you're going for the great and like I I did scroll down here

1917
03:05:40,940 --> 03:05:45,740
I noticed there's the entry and modest are like way below the fold

1918
03:05:45,740 --> 03:05:52,140
Hold on have a have a click on the entry level one though Because like I remember building an entry level system for myself back in the

1919
03:05:52,700 --> 03:05:58,460
Sort of mid to late 2000s and it didn't even have a dedicated GPU. I'm willing to bet this has a dedicated GPU

1920
03:05:59,020 --> 03:06:06,540
Yeah, b580. Yeah So like it's showing an msrp b580. Oh, yeah, there you go bnh apparently has stock

1921
03:06:07,180 --> 03:06:12,220
What out of stock. Oh in stock in stock. Oh, okay. That looked that didn't look green

1922
03:06:12,300 --> 03:06:15,900
It looked gray. It looked like a gray circle with a slash through it from here

1923
03:06:17,980 --> 03:06:22,220
I think it is gray. It's just a check mark, but it's okay. That's really stupid a little odd bnh

1924
03:06:22,220 --> 03:06:27,180
You should probably use the color green for that I just just convention

1925
03:06:27,340 --> 03:06:29,500
That's my opinion which i'm entitled to have

1926
03:06:30,540 --> 03:06:38,540
Yeah You know you could get banned. I could and they're allowed to ban me from their site. They are allowed to they're actually allowed to do that. Yeah

1927
03:06:39,340 --> 03:06:43,420
um The the the 32 gigs ran for 179 is

1928
03:06:44,220 --> 03:06:49,100
surprising so Yes, you know

1929
03:06:49,100 --> 03:06:52,620
It could be it could be It could be better

1930
03:06:52,620 --> 03:06:58,140
But I also do feel like some of this is people just kind of piling on to an issue

1931
03:06:59,580 --> 03:07:04,700
And Rage baiting and I don't think it's rage baiting

1932
03:07:04,700 --> 03:07:09,740
I think I think you're uh, you don't think people posting like a $2,000 RAM kid is rage baiting a little bit

1933
03:07:09,900 --> 03:07:14,700
Nobody was buying that anyway. Okay, maybe a little bit even if it was a thousand. I'm sure there's I'm sure there's some of that

1934
03:07:14,700 --> 03:07:20,220
This does still definitely suck for people that it does especially on the lower end where like a

1935
03:07:20,940 --> 03:07:24,780
because if I remember correctly the magnificent bill that RAM cost was about was

1936
03:07:25,660 --> 03:07:29,420
Like a little bit more than 10 percent Yeah

1937
03:07:29,500 --> 03:07:33,740
Yeah, it was on some of these entry ones. I'm assuming this is like a really significant punch

1938
03:07:34,060 --> 03:07:38,540
Like when we're looking at great AMD gaming build. Yeah, I haven't even clicked on this one yet. Let's see

1939
03:07:40,060 --> 03:07:45,020
Yeah, like the ramping 314 dollars on a system that is where is it?

1940
03:07:46,780 --> 03:07:53,100
1387 yeah is going to push past people's limits to the point where they might have to step down

1941
03:07:53,660 --> 03:07:56,140
Um, hold on. Can you go back to that one though? Sure

1942
03:07:57,100 --> 03:08:00,220
But let's again, let's look at the bigger picture here

1943
03:08:00,860 --> 03:08:05,020
So this is a really nice six core processor

1944
03:08:05,100 --> 03:08:11,100
Uh, what kind of GPU do we have in here? We have a 50. Ooh, we have a 50 60 ti a game stop SSD

1945
03:08:11,580 --> 03:08:18,220
Okay, no this build sucks. What is a game stop? I didn't know game stop had I might just generally have kind of issues with this

1946
03:08:18,220 --> 03:08:21,900
Build though because what on earth are you doing using and is this?

1947
03:08:22,620 --> 03:08:27,100
Oh, this is a thing. Yeah, this is a thing. That's wild. Sorry. I had no idea at this budget

1948
03:08:27,180 --> 03:08:33,340
You should be using a stock cooler though. You should not be using an x chip which just saved you probably about 40 bucks

1949
03:08:34,460 --> 03:08:39,260
What else do we have here? Oh that 50 60 ti is not the choice

1950
03:08:40,700 --> 03:08:44,780
So you should just be using an arc b580 which just saved you another hundred plus

1951
03:08:45,980 --> 03:08:50,940
Dollars no not a hundred plus. Oh, yeah, which just saved you like another hundred fifty dollars

1952
03:08:52,860 --> 03:08:56,780
Also, if I'm spending 70 dollars on a case, I'm sure as heck not getting a mon tech

1953
03:08:58,380 --> 03:09:01,900
And I do not need a 750 watt power supply. That's a crappy build

1954
03:09:02,220 --> 03:09:05,980
This is where I think in this price range you're going to benefit from at least doing a

1955
03:09:06,540 --> 03:09:12,860
At the very least a bit of a hybrid approach try to get your case used or something. I would for sure get one on facebook marketplace

1956
03:09:14,700 --> 03:09:22,460
Yeah, this is this is not uh I haven't priced out a rig in a long time. I'm not going to comment but

1957
03:09:23,900 --> 03:09:27,580
Yeah, that's that's not a good. That's not a well configured build

1958
03:09:28,380 --> 03:09:33,020
um Is it possible that it was at one point and then pricing changes made it worse?

1959
03:09:33,180 --> 03:09:38,860
That is possible But also it's just like got too big of a power supply which is great if you're trying to future proof

1960
03:09:38,860 --> 03:09:43,260
but if you're targeting like around a thousand to eleven hundred dollars then

1961
03:09:44,060 --> 03:09:48,220
you're In my opinion better off getting what you need

1962
03:09:48,940 --> 03:09:56,540
um 750 watt Yeah, you'd want to spec down from that dude if i'm if i'm running an rtx 40 60

1963
03:09:56,700 --> 03:10:01,260
Like what does an rtx 40 60 even use like 200 watts or something 50 60 ti?

1964
03:10:02,220 --> 03:10:08,540
I'm not sure. Sorry. What was it 50 60 ti? Okay. Let me check what a 50 60 ti is because I don't think it uses a ton of power

1965
03:10:10,380 --> 03:10:12,940
Yeah, it's it's a 180 watt card

1966
03:10:13,420 --> 03:10:17,820
I just found it's and then you have a 95 You have a 95 watt CPU

1967
03:10:17,980 --> 03:10:23,020
What are you doing buying a 750 watt power supply for that? I don't know how much money you're going to save going down to

1968
03:10:23,900 --> 03:10:26,700
650 or 550 or something it adds up though

1969
03:10:27,340 --> 03:10:30,380
Yeah, because you could save 20 bucks on your case you could save

1970
03:10:30,860 --> 03:10:34,460
Uh 30 what what I say about 40 bucks on your CPU and cooler

1971
03:10:34,860 --> 03:10:40,460
You can save what another 15 20 bucks on your power supply. You could save 100 150 bucks on your GPU

1972
03:10:40,940 --> 03:10:45,740
Okay, now we're talking about an appreciable difference and how much you're paying for this computer like

1973
03:10:47,420 --> 03:10:53,260
It's This is what I spent years of my life doing on the ncix forums

1974
03:10:53,740 --> 03:10:57,420
Is saving three dollars on this and ten dollars on that

1975
03:10:57,900 --> 03:11:03,100
And 15 bucks on this and four dollars on that and all of a sudden you saved some more fans

1976
03:11:03,180 --> 03:11:09,020
You saved a hundred dollars on your system. That's a free copy of Windows back when people bought that what no one ever did

1977
03:11:09,420 --> 03:11:16,300
Uh, oh, yeah, that's a lie. Dude. Do you have any idea how many system invoices I have looked at in my life?

1978
03:11:17,740 --> 03:11:23,900
People buy Windows. This is going to be mind-blowing for for many many members of our audience

1979
03:11:24,540 --> 03:11:30,220
many members of our audience People definitely definitely buy Windows

1980
03:11:30,940 --> 03:11:35,020
And just scrolling through some of the power supplies. You're not going to save a ton, but you might save 10 bucks

1981
03:11:35,100 --> 03:11:38,060
Yeah, which is hey 10 bucks is 10 bucks

1982
03:11:38,460 --> 03:11:42,380
Especially if you don't need modular like oh wait, hold on. Was that one modular?

1983
03:11:42,860 --> 03:11:45,500
Uh, okay the one in the build. Yeah

1984
03:11:48,540 --> 03:11:51,580
Well, I mean it's like 10 trillion different ones. I think yeah, it's modular

1985
03:11:51,580 --> 03:11:55,900
So that's part of the filters you do not need a modular power supply in a thousand dollar build

1986
03:11:56,380 --> 03:12:05,420
That's that's silly. You should not be doing that So people are just they're making unwise decisions in the configuration and going how long a lot of the power supplies

1987
03:12:05,420 --> 03:12:11,580
I've had have lasted I might want to get a a bit higher wattage modular one knowing that I can carry it into my next build

1988
03:12:11,660 --> 03:12:18,540
Sure, but then you're going to be making Compromises that I personally would consider to be unacceptable at that budget

1989
03:12:19,180 --> 03:12:21,740
At that budget i'm $10 more on a power supply

1990
03:12:22,460 --> 03:12:27,260
If I think I can carry it into my next build it all adds up I mean, but that's how you end up

1991
03:12:27,260 --> 03:12:31,740
Spending a little more on every component because you could I could make the same justification across the board

1992
03:12:32,220 --> 03:12:34,220
You don't need 32 gigs of RAM today

1993
03:12:36,780 --> 03:12:40,380
Yeah I don't know if that's valid you like it

1994
03:12:40,940 --> 03:12:43,740
I don't know if it's saying you can do that for every component is valid though

1995
03:12:44,540 --> 03:12:49,260
There are power supplies that have lasted a what he ought to minute. No, no, no, that's not what I'm saying

1996
03:12:49,580 --> 03:12:53,340
I'm saying that that that rationale that

1997
03:12:53,340 --> 03:12:58,700
That while This could last a little longer if I get a better one you could say the same thing for the case for sure

1998
03:12:59,020 --> 03:13:03,020
Yeah, like I'll get a slightly better case. I think the case and then you could say the better thing

1999
03:13:03,260 --> 03:13:08,380
You could say the better same thing for your CPU cooler I'll get a better CPU cooler and I'll carry it forward with me to the next build

2000
03:13:08,460 --> 03:13:14,380
Especially if you can get new mounting brackets or or make your own and so my point is and now all of a sudden

2001
03:13:14,700 --> 03:13:17,100
You're you're kind of buying a different class of machine

2002
03:13:17,820 --> 03:13:21,820
And when I'm configuring disagree when I'm configuring a thousand dollar build

2003
03:13:21,980 --> 03:13:26,380
I'm focused on performance I don't think I'm getting to a different class machine by spending 10 more dollars on my power supply

2004
03:13:26,460 --> 03:13:31,100
But you are you're using a different rationale for how you're choosing your components sure

2005
03:13:31,500 --> 03:13:35,500
I am choosing my components at that price point based on what this gets me today

2006
03:13:35,980 --> 03:13:39,340
If I can get some degree of future proofness out of it, then that's great

2007
03:13:39,900 --> 03:13:48,220
But I don't think that a 650 or even a 550 watt power supply is going to meaningfully impact my upgrade path

2008
03:13:48,620 --> 03:13:52,860
Because at the end of the day if I'm someone that's shopping for a 50 60 ti today

2009
03:13:53,340 --> 03:13:58,060
I am not someone that's shopping for a 70 80 in a couple of years

2010
03:13:58,460 --> 03:14:04,620
That's a completely different class of product And if I am that might be totally legit depending on life stage

2011
03:14:04,940 --> 03:14:11,180
And but if I am and my life stage has changed that much you might also get a higher quality power supply

2012
03:14:11,660 --> 03:14:18,460
That's it would take some research, but sure But if you're looking at you know 10 or 20 dollars cheaper, you're still getting a quality unit

2013
03:14:18,860 --> 03:14:28,700
You're just getting one that's rated a little lower And the same way that if my life stage has changed such that I go from shopping for an arc b580 to shopping for

2014
03:14:29,340 --> 03:14:34,700
a 70 80 Or something like that. I'm all of a sudden I can afford a 1500 dollar GPU

2015
03:14:35,100 --> 03:14:40,300
My life stage has probably changed to the point where I could offload my old system and I could buy a new power supply

2016
03:14:40,780 --> 03:14:44,220
Like that's the thing working at the computer store, man

2017
03:14:45,020 --> 03:14:47,500
I thought everybody upgrades their computers

2018
03:14:48,540 --> 03:14:55,500
People don't upgrade their computers. I do though. I know you do which is why your perspective is very interesting

2019
03:14:56,300 --> 03:15:00,540
but As someone who worked at the store

2020
03:15:00,780 --> 03:15:04,060
Yeah, but we're talking to people in the community that might actually upgrade their stuff

2021
03:15:04,300 --> 03:15:09,180
Of course, there are some ancient power supplies that are not well priced on phaser marketplace. This is rough

2022
03:15:10,060 --> 03:15:13,260
Well, look at how old this xfx power supply is

2023
03:15:14,220 --> 03:15:18,140
I mean, it's also 60 bucks. It's also 40 about 45 us dollars

2024
03:15:18,940 --> 03:15:23,740
I mean, I'd trust that in my system It is old

2025
03:15:24,300 --> 03:15:27,820
Yeah Is that 80 plus gold or bronze?

2026
03:15:28,620 --> 03:15:30,620
Oh, that's one of their weaker ones. Um

2027
03:15:31,820 --> 03:15:37,900
xfx's power supplies from that era were quality though, and I believe this is this is the

2028
03:15:38,700 --> 03:15:45,180
All wattage available on the 12 volt rail era. You can you can double check that by just zooming in really close

2029
03:15:45,660 --> 03:15:49,900
Yeah, 744 of this 755 watts is on the 12 volt rail

2030
03:15:50,540 --> 03:15:56,140
Um, I would probably check real quick and just make sure that it doesn't have like a virtual multi rail thing

2031
03:15:56,140 --> 03:16:01,020
That's going to cause ocp to trip, but I believe this is post that as well

2032
03:16:01,500 --> 03:16:05,420
So I would I would probably trust that xfx. It's not going to be the most efficient thing in the world

2033
03:16:05,420 --> 03:16:07,980
But it should be reliable. It's just so old

2034
03:16:08,700 --> 03:16:15,900
Yeah, but like so Like three minutes ago. You were like, well power supply part of the justification for spending more is I can use it a long time

2035
03:16:15,900 --> 03:16:20,780
Buying one without a significant discount that is already ancient. How is it not a significant discount?

2036
03:16:20,860 --> 03:16:23,660
What's a 750 watt power supply today? I don't know in Canada

2037
03:16:24,220 --> 03:16:28,380
Well, I mean we can it doesn't feel like a significant if only I mean

2038
03:16:29,420 --> 03:16:37,340
We we can't just go on vibes and feelings Right, but I'm acknowledging that because we're having a discussion about something that I don't have up-to-date numbers on this are very reasonable

2039
03:16:37,500 --> 03:16:40,780
Okay, okay. It is a very significant discount. Okay. Yeah

2040
03:16:41,180 --> 03:16:45,340
I'd be interested to see from like lucas or something like grabbing a bunch of

2041
03:16:46,700 --> 03:16:51,340
Old power supplies like that I ah, you know what I wanted to do years ago

2042
03:16:51,820 --> 03:16:56,460
Do you remember the video that we did where we got a brand new evga?

2043
03:16:57,260 --> 03:17:02,380
580 gtx and we compared it against one that had been used for like 10 years

2044
03:17:04,140 --> 03:17:12,620
To find out if Like because people people imagine that their their silicon devices go slower over time

2045
03:17:13,500 --> 03:17:17,820
And we basically had been trying to debunk that for a long time like

2046
03:17:18,620 --> 03:17:21,740
I'm not a memory of this. I do have some memory if it runs at

2047
03:17:22,380 --> 03:17:27,660
megahertz x Then it is running at megahertz x like

2048
03:17:28,620 --> 03:17:33,740
modern silicon that you know has that can that that dynamically

2049
03:17:34,940 --> 03:17:37,340
Changes its clock speeds right that turbo boosts

2050
03:17:38,060 --> 03:17:43,900
might turbo less aggressively over time or your thermal interface material might degrade

2051
03:17:44,300 --> 03:17:49,260
Right and that could impact performance, but megahertz is megahertz. I don't make the rules

2052
03:17:49,420 --> 03:17:55,020
it runs at the speed it runs at and If you are imagining that there is some kind of slowdown

2053
03:17:55,500 --> 03:18:01,260
It is probably because your demands have increased or the software that you're using is

2054
03:18:01,980 --> 03:18:06,620
um Well, I guess that's basically just another way of saying your demands have increased

2055
03:18:07,420 --> 03:18:12,060
and um, which is almost certainly happening which is almost certainly happening

2056
03:18:13,900 --> 03:18:21,180
And you imagined it or or you imagined it Those are those are basically the two options and you'd have people swearing up and down that

2057
03:18:21,660 --> 03:18:27,340
Running exactly the same software exactly the same way it gets slower over time. So we we debunked it once and for all

2058
03:18:27,340 --> 03:18:31,740
We took a brand new sealed in box that evga found for us

2059
03:18:32,220 --> 03:18:37,820
And tested it against an old one that had been on the bench for years and also in someone's system for years

2060
03:18:38,300 --> 03:18:42,940
And we ran them through the exact same suite and lo and behold they performed

2061
03:18:43,260 --> 03:18:47,980
Exactly the same because that's how it works. Did you tim replace the heavily used one?

2062
03:18:48,220 --> 03:18:53,180
I don't even think well, we didn't because it didn't matter because there was no dynamic clock speed adjustments on the 580

2063
03:18:53,980 --> 03:18:59,180
So the point was if it's running at clock speed x then its performance will be x

2064
03:19:00,060 --> 03:19:04,860
It's that simple And I had wanted to do the same thing for a power supply

2065
03:19:05,500 --> 03:19:08,300
I wanted to get my hands on a brand new

2066
03:19:09,260 --> 03:19:15,420
Old model power supply And compare it against one that had been deployed for 10 years or something like that in someone's

2067
03:19:15,500 --> 03:19:19,900
You know server closet or something and I was just I was never able to get it together because

2068
03:19:20,460 --> 03:19:25,180
Everyone talks about how you should budget like 10 for a capacitor aging

2069
03:19:25,820 --> 03:19:29,100
but My understanding is that's actually

2070
03:19:29,740 --> 03:19:34,380
Super ancient outdated device outdated advice from like the electrolytic

2071
03:19:35,100 --> 03:19:42,620
Capacitor era like solid state caps from my understanding of them may decay a little bit

2072
03:19:42,700 --> 03:19:47,020
But not to nearly the same degree that those older power supplies did

2073
03:19:47,740 --> 03:19:51,340
But I just I haven't really I haven't pursued it recently

2074
03:19:51,340 --> 03:19:56,060
But I when I like looked into it and wanted to do it. I wasn't able to find anyone who was able to

2075
03:19:56,620 --> 03:20:00,060
To get me an old one Um

2076
03:20:00,060 --> 03:20:05,660
And and an untouched oh and pock nor 47 and Floatplane chat for crying out loud

2077
03:20:05,980 --> 03:20:10,860
Context matters They're saying I understand the point but megahertz is a terrible metric

2078
03:20:11,180 --> 03:20:17,180
I had a pentium 4 that ran at 3 gigahertz and my 5800 x3 runs at 3.4 not what I was saying

2079
03:20:17,740 --> 03:20:21,260
We're talking two of an identical product over time

2080
03:20:21,820 --> 03:20:24,860
Context matters not ipc improvements and stuff

2081
03:20:25,180 --> 03:20:28,220
Sheesh all right

2082
03:20:28,380 --> 03:20:30,380
Anywho

2083
03:20:31,580 --> 03:20:35,580
Um What topic are we even on?

2084
03:20:36,940 --> 03:20:44,940
Oh, okay. We got now we were done that new one modders are slapping 32 gigs of um on NVIDIA's rtx 50 80s

2085
03:20:45,900 --> 03:20:49,980
but Spoiler that's not good news for gamers

2086
03:20:50,620 --> 03:20:54,540
The modded variants are for AI workstations and servers

2087
03:20:55,980 --> 03:21:00,540
cool I guess there's really

2088
03:21:00,620 --> 03:21:06,700
Not much to say about it other than that what tier of modders is doing this like is this could people do this at home

2089
03:21:06,860 --> 03:21:09,100
Oh heavens now. Yeah, I didn't think so. Yeah

2090
03:21:09,980 --> 03:21:13,740
I knew there was some like, you know back in the langley house. There was

2091
03:21:14,700 --> 03:21:18,860
um Some power mods you could do to cards that were like

2092
03:21:19,740 --> 03:21:23,100
consumer level doable. I think it was uh, I think it was

2093
03:21:23,980 --> 03:21:26,460
Yeah, this already. Yeah, I think it was kingpin. Yeah

2094
03:21:27,100 --> 03:21:34,380
Who uh cut the back end off of a GPU and like took the like the back end vrm of another GPU and just like

2095
03:21:34,860 --> 03:21:40,460
Soldered them together and ran it. I might be remembering this incorrectly. I don't know but I didn't even think he cut one off

2096
03:21:40,460 --> 03:21:45,420
I thought he just like it came out in an angle. He's probably done both if we're being realistic

2097
03:21:45,660 --> 03:21:52,060
Yeah, what am I looking at here? Whatever i'm looking at. Um is not something that regular people will be doing

2098
03:21:53,100 --> 03:21:57,820
No, so it's pretty sick though. I love that their test platform

2099
03:21:58,380 --> 03:22:00,640
Just is a hunk of copper on the GPU

2100
03:22:02,220 --> 03:22:05,660
So that it will run long enough for them to verify post

2101
03:22:06,540 --> 03:22:13,340
It's just it is literally a heat sink That's awesome. The GPU is sinking heat into this copper slug

2102
03:22:13,980 --> 03:22:21,100
With no actual active cooling on it whatsoever because it's not worth reassembling just to find out if it will

2103
03:22:21,980 --> 03:22:27,740
post That is amazing. I'm saying this to the public not to you, but you ever seen the palm method

2104
03:22:28,700 --> 03:22:37,420
I've used it. Yeah, me too You just put your hand on the chip and you use human water cooling to keep it from frying itself while you just see if it works

2105
03:22:37,500 --> 03:22:39,980
You gotta go relatively fast. That'll get hot real fast

2106
03:22:40,860 --> 03:22:48,300
um, but oh man Mc mcbane says Linus has not been watching north ridge fix. Okay. I don't know if this was from north ridge fix

2107
03:22:48,300 --> 03:22:53,340
But I did see a motherboard repair that went viral recently that was

2108
03:22:54,140 --> 03:23:00,140
Mind-blowing like multi-layer pcb. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I saw something about that

2109
03:23:00,460 --> 03:23:06,460
unreal Unreal at that point. You're just flexing. I think by the way

2110
03:23:06,620 --> 03:23:13,340
Um, do as we say not as we do putting your hand on the chip. Uh, people in people in chat are all like

2111
03:23:13,420 --> 03:23:17,420
Yeah, I burned myself doing that lost a couple fingerprints. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we're not recommending that

2112
03:23:17,820 --> 03:23:22,540
That's a terrible terrible idea. It's bad for your body. It's bad for the the electronic device

2113
03:23:23,900 --> 03:23:28,140
Cool. Good chat. Uh, apple don't do it again apple has been

2114
03:23:30,780 --> 03:23:35,100
Apple has been fined 116 million over app privacy prompts

2115
03:23:36,060 --> 03:23:42,220
This is wild italy's antitrust authority has fined apple 98.6 million euro

2116
03:23:42,700 --> 03:23:45,740
saying that one of the company's privacy features

2117
03:23:46,460 --> 03:23:50,060
unfairly restricted competition in the app store

2118
03:23:51,580 --> 03:23:57,820
Hold on a second though regulators were focused on app tracking transparency

2119
03:23:58,460 --> 03:24:04,380
apple's system that requires apps to ask users for permission before tracking them for targeted ads

2120
03:24:05,180 --> 03:24:10,460
italy says apple forces third-party apps to ask for user consent twice

2121
03:24:11,020 --> 03:24:17,580
Creating extra friction that hurts developers and advertisers who rely on ad revenue

2122
03:24:20,460 --> 03:24:22,460
But that sounds okay

2123
03:24:23,740 --> 03:24:31,580
I'm with apple on this one. Yeah a hundred percent apple argues the ruling prioritizes ad tech companies over user privacy

2124
03:24:32,060 --> 03:24:36,060
Yeah, uh, yeah And says a t t

2125
03:24:37,020 --> 03:24:42,380
App tracking transparency gives users clear control over dragon, which is great applies equal

2126
03:24:42,940 --> 03:24:47,580
Equally to all developers, which is great. Well, hold on. Does it apply equally to apple? That's the one thing

2127
03:24:47,740 --> 03:24:52,620
That's what I thought this was gonna talk about And does it does it actually not?

2128
03:24:53,020 --> 03:24:58,860
Apply to apple. Yeah, I mean I don't use I don't know man the first time you log into an iphone

2129
03:24:58,940 --> 03:25:05,580
It's pretty full of ads to use apple services like iCloud and stuff like that. I don't know that necessarily

2130
03:25:06,300 --> 03:25:11,740
Qualifies as a targeted ad, but I would say that an iCloud subscription to someone who owns an iphone

2131
03:25:12,460 --> 03:25:21,260
Yeah, I'd call that a targeted ad Interesting anyway interesting line carry on not saying I disagree but interesting line. I don't think it's quite the same

2132
03:25:21,980 --> 03:25:24,140
No, I understand what you're saying. It also isn't

2133
03:25:25,020 --> 03:25:28,060
Not a targeted ad totally. Yeah, if they know i'm out of storage

2134
03:25:28,700 --> 03:25:35,020
for my photos And they give me the second it becomes storage-based it feels like it's a little bit more so

2135
03:25:36,140 --> 03:25:40,460
Ah, it's still it's still like they are still technically different things and they sure as hell aren't offering me

2136
03:25:40,700 --> 03:25:45,740
A cloud storage option from anyone else. Yeah, does apple do anti-competitive things? Oh, yeah

2137
03:25:46,140 --> 03:25:50,780
Yeah, one drive for your iphone, but is app tracking transparency?

2138
03:25:51,420 --> 03:25:55,260
Uh requiring apps to ask users for permission before tracking them one of them

2139
03:25:57,740 --> 03:26:00,300
Yeah, that one I'm more with apple on

2140
03:26:01,740 --> 03:26:04,620
And someone asks is this analogous to one drive in microsoft

2141
03:26:05,020 --> 03:26:11,260
Uh, absolutely. Yeah, and it's just as f***ing ridiculous. Yeah, see that's the whole thing, right?

2142
03:26:11,340 --> 03:26:13,900
Is I often get told i'm hating on apple

2143
03:26:14,460 --> 03:26:17,740
But I hate it exactly the same if microsoft does it

2144
03:26:19,020 --> 03:26:23,900
So maybe Possibly what I hate is the behavior and the attitude

2145
03:26:25,100 --> 03:26:27,100
And there's a lot of that on microsoft. Oh

2146
03:26:28,300 --> 03:26:33,100
The the decision follows a similar ruling in france earlier this year where apple was fined 150 million

2147
03:26:33,980 --> 03:26:36,220
euros over the same feature

2148
03:26:37,580 --> 03:26:39,580
I like this feature though. Yeah

2149
03:26:40,860 --> 03:26:47,980
I I really don't care about anything that apple does that is a big middle finger to the targeted ad industry man back with

2150
03:26:48,060 --> 03:26:51,580
I I don't I think this comparison makes sense back when tell us was cool

2151
03:26:51,900 --> 03:26:58,140
They would call you when your contract was about up and be like look we can go kind of two different paths here

2152
03:26:58,780 --> 03:27:03,340
We can get you more performance for the same price or same performance for less price

2153
03:27:03,820 --> 03:27:09,100
Choose your path and it was always like what a great phone call to receive and then they stopped doing that because they're dumb

2154
03:27:09,580 --> 03:27:15,500
Um, I don't have a I got an email from them like talking about a few things because I called them out for a practice

2155
03:27:15,500 --> 03:27:20,380
That I was going to like actually go after them for and then they fix it so things are good. Um

2156
03:27:21,340 --> 03:27:24,380
But I also called that out because I was like this was such an amazing phone call

2157
03:27:24,460 --> 03:27:32,700
I would get a call every like two years. It would be from tell us I would see tell us on the caller id and be excited because I was like nice. I'm either getting faster internet or

2158
03:27:33,820 --> 03:27:36,700
Less money being taken away. There was a great call every time

2159
03:27:37,180 --> 03:27:40,060
blah blah blah their argument was that like people hated the calls

2160
03:27:40,940 --> 03:27:47,260
I'm like there is no way that people hated those calls more than their bill going up without them knowing that it's happening

2161
03:27:47,500 --> 03:27:50,860
Or their neighbor getting a better deal than they are just because they didn't know

2162
03:27:51,100 --> 03:27:54,140
Yeah, so like there's actually that's just a bs excuse

2163
03:27:54,220 --> 03:27:57,100
And they could have also done it as an email if people don't like the calls

2164
03:27:57,340 --> 03:28:02,940
Definitely figured out that this just like they could have applied it automatically cost you money. Yeah. Yeah

2165
03:28:04,060 --> 03:28:08,860
There were many other there were many other paths to take so like don't tell me the the thing

2166
03:28:09,820 --> 03:28:15,580
Tim 000x3 says the do not track button on iphone is the reason that I use iphone

2167
03:28:15,660 --> 03:28:19,340
Yeah, there are apps that I desperately need on Android, but I can't justify it

2168
03:28:19,660 --> 03:28:28,220
I could use a hardened version of Android But the best one to do that with is for the pixel graphing os shout out and I don't want to give money to google tim

2169
03:28:28,300 --> 03:28:31,900
I have an idea for you buy a secondhand pixel

2170
03:28:32,220 --> 03:28:36,540
You can have a pixel you can run graphing os you can give google zero dollars

2171
03:28:37,580 --> 03:28:41,500
Just just an idea just a thought pretty good wgd 118 says Linus

2172
03:28:41,580 --> 03:28:47,580
Do you have more knowledge about the targeted ad industry now that you're buying ads for LTT Store for the backpack and screwdrivers?

2173
03:28:48,220 --> 03:28:53,500
I'll be honest with you. I am not buying those ads I don't know anything more about it other than

2174
03:28:54,220 --> 03:28:58,620
You know what I know from like the news and you know learning about it and stuff

2175
03:28:58,700 --> 03:29:02,700
Yeah, the the other part of what I was going to say is whenever my phone mentions like

2176
03:29:03,580 --> 03:29:06,700
Hey, we noticed that these apps have

2177
03:29:07,260 --> 03:29:12,300
Privacy features on them or whatever and you don't use these apps very much. Do you want to remove their privacy features?

2178
03:29:12,700 --> 03:29:19,580
That's such a like Thanks, bro. It's such a bro notification. Thanks for sending me that. I wanted to see that. Thank you very much

2179
03:29:19,580 --> 03:29:27,180
Even if I'm like, no, those are fine Very happy to receive that notification. Just like that. Tell us call. There are certain things this app

2180
03:29:27,740 --> 03:29:32,620
Tracking transparency. I want that pop-up. That's a great pop-up. Thanks for giving me that pop-up

2181
03:29:33,500 --> 03:29:38,460
Heck, yeah anyways Moving on

2182
03:29:38,860 --> 03:29:48,460
Is that it for topics? Yeah, it's after dark. You have a thing up here playing expedition 33. Oh, yeah, I'm really enjoying it. Yeah, good

2183
03:29:48,700 --> 03:29:51,020
I'm playing on the gpd win five, which is

2184
03:29:51,980 --> 03:29:55,420
Oh, that's the big chonker one, right? No. Oh, it's the

2185
03:29:56,380 --> 03:30:00,140
reasonable sized one That apple vision pro style

2186
03:30:00,540 --> 03:30:05,260
has a tether to a battery that like you could put in your pocket

2187
03:30:05,500 --> 03:30:10,940
Except This is pretty funny. He just played in bed. I put it in my pocket

2188
03:30:11,260 --> 03:30:17,900
Um, when I was sitting at the at the kitchen nook table eating my bedtime cereal

2189
03:30:18,540 --> 03:30:21,180
That I'm back on because I lost a bunch of weight. So what's the downside?

2190
03:30:23,020 --> 03:30:27,020
I made that Not really how that works, but hey, whatever

2191
03:30:27,660 --> 03:30:38,380
Well, what am I going to do gain back my weight like I'm still exercising. So whatever which honestly, I was clearly calorie calorie deficit

2192
03:30:39,180 --> 03:30:43,340
So if I'm just going to like consume some more calories and keep working out

2193
03:30:44,540 --> 03:30:53,660
I was I was playing badminton with a former Canadian Olympian. Uh, is this yesterday? Yeah, yesterday. Uh, she's she's super chill

2194
03:30:56,380 --> 03:31:06,060
Wrong one That would be impressive. There we go. Yeah, so uh, she came by smash. Yeah, she came by smash champs and was hanging with us

2195
03:31:06,540 --> 03:31:11,740
And uh, her thank you the facilities her and her husband bobby millroy who is also um

2196
03:31:12,620 --> 03:31:18,460
Back in the day Pretty pretty hardcore. He was a little younger here

2197
03:31:19,260 --> 03:31:25,020
um, but yeah, absolutely like They're older than me and Yvonne, but they were pros

2198
03:31:25,740 --> 03:31:29,660
Right, and it's just it shows. It's a completely different

2199
03:31:30,540 --> 03:31:35,020
level like they can just They can hit the straight shot

2200
03:31:35,260 --> 03:31:41,260
And and straight shot doesn't mean straight. It just means the um, the highest probability shot from that position

2201
03:31:42,300 --> 03:31:48,780
You kind of get what I mean by that. Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, so they can hit the straight shot and they can like keep a rally going with us or they can just like

2202
03:31:50,140 --> 03:31:53,340
Do like a double like a double pump or like uh, like a weird

2203
03:31:53,900 --> 03:31:57,100
Sort of like, you know slice shot or whatever and then just

2204
03:31:57,740 --> 03:32:03,340
We call it an ankle breaker And they can just have you moving completely the wrong direction and like it goes the other way

2205
03:32:03,340 --> 03:32:08,780
And they can just like end the rally kind of anytime they want Um, anyway, what was I talking about?

2206
03:32:10,300 --> 03:32:16,300
Uh, expedition 33 and then oh, yeah expedition 33. So anyway, the point is I've been exercising

2207
03:32:16,300 --> 03:32:22,700
I don't care about my bedtime cereal deal with this. Um, oh, I however, that's fine. However, it can lead to problems

2208
03:32:23,180 --> 03:32:27,420
See, I was sitting there playing expedition 33 with the battery in my pocket

2209
03:32:28,140 --> 03:32:31,020
And I was actually done eating my cereal, which is good

2210
03:32:31,500 --> 03:32:37,420
Because I had the bowl with just like a little bit of milk and and my spoon and I went to get up and grab something

2211
03:32:37,660 --> 03:32:43,980
And I dragged the I dragged the gpd win five off the table which hit the bowl which

2212
03:32:45,180 --> 03:32:51,900
Fortunately, it didn't break went onto the floor like splashed milk everywhere and everything lived and it goes to show

2213
03:32:53,660 --> 03:33:02,860
How Changeable our habits can be because there was a time in my life when I was constantly attached to a discman

2214
03:33:03,660 --> 03:33:07,660
when I would have been sure to gather up all my things before I

2215
03:33:08,620 --> 03:33:12,620
Got up from a table But I am no longer that man

2216
03:33:13,260 --> 03:33:20,300
Bluetooth headphones. I was just gonna say have changed my habits. I I've been uh, you know working around the house

2217
03:33:20,380 --> 03:33:23,020
Things are getting extremely close to being done

2218
03:33:23,660 --> 03:33:28,940
Uh, but I've been wearing some bluetooth headphones while I'll like maybe I'll sit and do something for a little bit

2219
03:33:28,940 --> 03:33:32,860
And then go do something else whatever. Yeah, and I'll do I'll do this

2220
03:33:34,780 --> 03:33:42,700
To move the cable that isn't there And it like I'll like I'll go to get up and I'll move the cable out of the way so that I'm not gonna like step on it

2221
03:33:42,780 --> 03:33:47,980
Or whatever is such a drug dude, and it's uh, I just feel so weird every time I do it

2222
03:33:48,060 --> 03:33:55,500
And I don't contact anything and I'm like, oh, where's the cable? Then I have to remember that I'm wearing bluetooth headphones. Oh, this is so strange. That's hilarious. Yeah

2223
03:33:56,300 --> 03:34:04,140
Oh lordy Ew people are talking about pouring the milk first and then putting cereal in it's so incorrect

2224
03:34:04,300 --> 03:34:08,060
It bothers me. Have you banned people on the full plane jet? Yeah, we should

2225
03:34:08,700 --> 03:34:16,060
Oh, that's that's a good good. That is literally a wrong opinion. Have you heard about this true nas stitching smart tests? Yvonne does it

2226
03:34:16,700 --> 03:34:22,780
Oh, she's a milk first then cereal person. So here's her justification. Hold on

2227
03:34:24,140 --> 03:34:28,540
She doesn't like soggy cereal and she doesn't like

2228
03:34:29,500 --> 03:34:32,140
Rapid top-upper, so she'll top it up. Yeah

2229
03:34:32,860 --> 03:34:36,540
However, I think that's acceptable. I that is like one of the few times

2230
03:34:36,540 --> 03:34:43,420
If you're pouring milk into a bowl and you bring the cereal with you. Yeah, she'll have the cereal at hand on the table

2231
03:34:43,420 --> 03:34:49,100
She gets a pass. That's that's allowed. Yeah So she gets a pass. Yep. Yep. Yep

2232
03:34:50,300 --> 03:34:58,780
I still don't like it I still don't like it either, but she gets a pass but in the same way just like I don't like it when the toilet paper roll

2233
03:34:59,580 --> 03:35:03,260
goes goes uh

2234
03:35:03,260 --> 03:35:08,620
Under instead of over I understand why and cat owners will understand why

2235
03:35:10,540 --> 03:35:13,740
That's right. Yeah, they go like this and it doesn't unravel. Yeah

2236
03:35:14,700 --> 03:35:17,740
There can be good reasons to do bad things

2237
03:35:20,700 --> 03:35:25,100
Speaking of anything about that I don't we have no notes on this. I don't think it's a topic

2238
03:35:25,100 --> 03:35:32,300
But true nas is ditching smart tests Do you have thoughts? Yeah. Oh wait, I haven't talked about expedition 33 yet. Okay. Yeah, we'll come back

2239
03:35:32,380 --> 03:35:37,020
I like it and I especially like playing it on the wing five that thing is a monster

2240
03:35:38,300 --> 03:35:41,100
It's Strix halo. Oh, okay. Yeah

2241
03:35:41,340 --> 03:35:45,340
Yeah, this is like an over 2000 us dollar handheld

2242
03:35:45,420 --> 03:35:52,220
What a sick name with a with a frickin like umbilical cord on it like it's it's the least sensible

2243
03:35:53,100 --> 03:35:57,580
Like most out-of-touch device that I've probably used since the vision pro

2244
03:35:59,100 --> 03:36:03,980
Which conveniently also had the same tether problem. Not conveniently inconveniently

2245
03:36:04,300 --> 03:36:11,340
And conveniently enough that I don't think they're making anymore Apparently they're cutting production back, which to me is a big surprise because

2246
03:36:12,060 --> 03:36:16,140
I Wouldn't have thought they were making them at all at this point. I would have thought they would have plenty of

2247
03:36:16,860 --> 03:36:24,380
Inventory from their first I think there are some professional use cases that are like pretty stoked on it. Cool. Good, but not very many. Yeah

2248
03:36:24,860 --> 03:36:29,260
That that's good. I have you have you played expedition 33. No, is your computer back up and running?

2249
03:36:29,820 --> 03:36:33,340
It was and it is no longer nice because now we're solid

2250
03:36:34,220 --> 03:36:37,900
My dad was putting baseboards in when I left the house today

2251
03:36:38,380 --> 03:36:43,260
And they're being painted over the weekend and then things will be getting put back in place next week

2252
03:36:43,820 --> 03:36:49,980
Okay, cool Anyway, not that you need me to endorse it given that it practically swept the game awards

2253
03:36:50,940 --> 03:36:53,500
But I am enjoying the crap out of it and I am

2254
03:36:54,220 --> 03:36:59,180
I'm doing something kind of different and and fun with it. I am playing it in french, which

2255
03:36:59,900 --> 03:37:07,580
I That's cool. I'm way I need subbed. I need subtitles. Sure, but that's cool. But what I'm trying to do is I'm trying to understand

2256
03:37:08,220 --> 03:37:15,820
The dialogue Oh, that's pretty sick And then I'm and I'm checking and what's funny is the reason that I started doing it was completely not for that

2257
03:37:16,220 --> 03:37:24,620
It was not to practice my french comprehension. It was because I like playing jrp or rpgs. Sorry. I like playing rpgs

2258
03:37:25,260 --> 03:37:30,460
Um, sorry Well, I'll call it a jrpg. It's not developed by it. Yeah. Yeah

2259
03:37:31,580 --> 03:37:38,460
But I like playing rpgs not with english dialogue. Isn't it japanese style not japanese developer?

2260
03:37:38,620 --> 03:37:44,700
It is But I don't know. There's a lot of western influence in this one too. I wouldn't okay. There's a lot of japanese influence

2261
03:37:44,780 --> 03:37:48,540
but yeah, no, I just Yeah, I

2262
03:37:48,620 --> 03:37:53,420
F RPG what it definitely is is an rpg. Sure. Yeah, so let's go with that got it

2263
03:37:53,500 --> 03:38:00,620
And so I don't like english dialogue because I come from the rpg era where everything was text and there was no voice acting

2264
03:38:01,020 --> 03:38:05,340
And when they added voice acting that actually really like slowed down my

2265
03:38:08,140 --> 03:38:11,820
That's such a lightest ruffle my ability to play the game

2266
03:38:14,780 --> 03:38:16,780
And I find it a lot less

2267
03:38:18,140 --> 03:38:21,900
If they're going to If I'm gonna skip through something

2268
03:38:22,060 --> 03:38:29,180
Oh, that totally makes sense I actually find it way less distracting if the dialogue is in I so I'll usually set it to japanese because

2269
03:38:29,260 --> 03:38:34,460
Usually japanese is an option. So if I want to so I played final fantasy tactics like this

2270
03:38:34,540 --> 03:38:38,940
I get to enjoy the original japanese intonation. Yeah with my

2271
03:38:39,660 --> 03:38:45,500
English Comprehension and I can skip it in the middle of a sentence. It's not really an effect

2272
03:38:45,660 --> 03:38:49,260
And I'll never know the difference. So that was what I actually was setting out to do

2273
03:38:49,340 --> 03:38:52,700
I went to switch it to japanese because I didn't know or care which

2274
03:38:53,340 --> 03:38:57,580
Other options there were because I was like, that's what I always do. I always just switch it to japanese

2275
03:38:58,060 --> 03:39:01,500
And then the first option was actually french and I was like, oh, yeah

2276
03:39:01,900 --> 03:39:05,180
That makes sense. Why don't I try that and I'll see if it like bothers me

2277
03:39:06,060 --> 03:39:13,020
Because I have a little bit of comprehension of it I'll I'll see if it works the same way and I find french no offense to japanese

2278
03:39:13,740 --> 03:39:19,260
No offense whatsoever. I find french to be a very beautiful language to just hear

2279
03:39:20,220 --> 03:39:24,460
More so than japanese. Sorry. Sorry my personal opinion. You can ban me for it

2280
03:39:27,580 --> 03:39:31,100
And I switched it over and I understood more than I thought I would and I was like, okay

2281
03:39:31,500 --> 03:39:36,540
Well, this is a fun little exercise. Why don't I why don't I try to like pick up my french comprehension a little bit?

2282
03:39:37,260 --> 03:39:47,740
It's really tough with like Thickly accented characters. Oh, yeah and stuff. I can imagine but with all of the playable characters so far

2283
03:39:48,300 --> 03:39:51,820
um, there's a lot of like vocab that I'm missing but

2284
03:39:52,540 --> 03:39:56,700
It's been yeah, it's been good. It's been fun. I I think I've told you about this before but the first time

2285
03:39:57,020 --> 03:40:01,260
We went to germany for like the sennheiser thing. I think that was the first time I went to germany for work

2286
03:40:01,740 --> 03:40:06,060
um It was really interesting because I had taken a little bit of german in high school

2287
03:40:06,060 --> 03:40:10,860
I was definitely not fluent, but I knew some stuff and I could have like extremely basic conversations

2288
03:40:11,340 --> 03:40:15,740
Um, and then it had been many years. So I had lost most of that and there was there's no

2289
03:40:17,180 --> 03:40:20,940
I don't know anywhere around here that I could converse with so it was just loss for years

2290
03:40:21,100 --> 03:40:25,500
You could try to speak german to me and I sure. Yeah, I can give you one of those. I can't anymore

2291
03:40:26,220 --> 03:40:31,340
Which is part of the story But the the first time we went it was very interesting because I could I could pick up on a lot

2292
03:40:32,060 --> 03:40:37,420
I could kind of understand the point of a conversation even though I might not necessarily understand all the details and right

2293
03:40:37,580 --> 03:40:41,740
I could maybe order things at certain like restaurants and stuff like that

2294
03:40:42,140 --> 03:40:48,460
Um, ask for the receipt do basic transactional stuff like that one worst, please. Yeah, you're best stuff like that

2295
03:40:48,540 --> 03:40:50,780
Yeah, I could understand numbers things like that

2296
03:40:51,660 --> 03:40:57,340
And then big gap in time I went there again. I was going to say this year, but I guess last year

2297
03:40:57,740 --> 03:41:00,700
Um, but but like not that long ago last year

2298
03:41:01,500 --> 03:41:05,580
And I had lost a bunch of it Again Make sense make sense

2299
03:41:05,580 --> 03:41:08,300
But there was still definitely thing like he said v gates

2300
03:41:08,860 --> 03:41:11,500
There there are still definitely things where I can like pick up

2301
03:41:12,060 --> 03:41:19,340
the general idea of what's happening and it's it's very like mentally stimulating german probably has a word for that like the

2302
03:41:19,500 --> 03:41:21,500
The idea schlagen vinzer

2303
03:41:23,660 --> 03:41:28,540
Yeah, honestly, I wouldn't be surprised. Um, okay, apparently I will not be banned

2304
03:41:28,940 --> 03:41:33,020
Um for enjoying french as long as I don't watch anime in french

2305
03:41:33,820 --> 03:41:38,860
Okay, seems fair enough. That that does seem that does seem like you have an situation

2306
03:41:39,100 --> 03:41:41,660
Yeah, I think that gets a pass. That seems fair enough. That makes sense

2307
03:41:42,300 --> 03:41:47,900
Uh, okay. What did you want to talk about next? Uh, the smart test true nas. They're ditching smart tests. Oh, yeah

2308
03:41:47,980 --> 03:41:56,220
I don't like it And this is this is they say they're not reliable yet another reason that I backed hexos is that I just

2309
03:41:56,540 --> 03:42:00,380
So true nas's position is that you can just use a third party tool for it

2310
03:42:01,100 --> 03:42:08,540
And that's cool But that's one of the reasons that true nas which is great and I'm so glad that it underpins hexos

2311
03:42:09,100 --> 03:42:15,180
investment disclosure But that's one of the reasons that for general consumers. It's an even prosumers

2312
03:42:15,660 --> 03:42:19,980
It's just not something that I can recommend with a straight face because unless you're

2313
03:42:21,340 --> 03:42:27,340
You do this for fun Or you know, you already have to do it at work anyway, so you know how it all works

2314
03:42:27,900 --> 03:42:33,020
It's just not practical to administer for the average enthusiast even

2315
03:42:33,900 --> 03:42:39,900
And if you are one of the people out there who considers yourself an average enthusiast and you totally administer true nas and you love it

2316
03:42:40,300 --> 03:42:44,620
Then congratulations. You're not an average enthusiast and that's fine

2317
03:42:44,780 --> 03:42:51,020
You're you're like really into it. And that's that's super cool. And that's really great. And here's a gold star for you

2318
03:42:52,380 --> 03:42:58,380
But most of even the LTT community is not going to want to dig through some of the arcane

2319
03:42:59,100 --> 03:43:05,980
crap that True nas forces you to jump through sometimes to do very very seemingly simple things

2320
03:43:06,940 --> 03:43:14,220
Which you know, again, like you said, you might do it for fun. That might be part of the entertainment. Absolutely. It might also not be

2321
03:43:17,580 --> 03:43:19,580
Okay, I think we're done topics Dan

2322
03:43:21,580 --> 03:43:23,580
Yippie doopie

2323
03:43:27,980 --> 03:43:31,420
Nice Nice

2324
03:43:31,420 --> 03:43:36,700
What were people like him today? Were they picking up the new uh, the new shirt or like let's have a look

2325
03:43:37,500 --> 03:43:44,300
bit set crash out to shirt and uh, bit set. Oh big case. Oh nice nice quality

2326
03:43:44,780 --> 03:43:50,380
All right, I got some messages here for you guys. Nice. Greetings WAN.dll from the UK

2327
03:43:50,780 --> 03:43:58,060
Question for Linus about his hands on with the steam frame. How well did the frame accommodate a large

2328
03:43:58,780 --> 03:44:03,900
nose speaking of someone with a big ol schnoz myself pretty good actually

2329
03:44:03,980 --> 03:44:09,420
Uh, I definitely need to spend some more time with it. I need to play longer sessions

2330
03:44:10,140 --> 03:44:14,540
Where I'm moving my head around like I want to I want to yeah, you had like no time

2331
03:44:15,020 --> 03:44:20,060
Yeah, and I look I'm not I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist or whatever

2332
03:44:20,700 --> 03:44:23,180
But I think valve did not want me

2333
03:44:23,740 --> 03:44:29,740
To make as deep a video as they know that I will and that I did because that might be true. I mean

2334
03:44:30,380 --> 03:44:33,340
Yeah, that wouldn't even necessarily be that unreasonable. No

2335
03:44:34,220 --> 03:44:40,860
But also then don't tell us everything. This was completely within your control to

2336
03:44:42,380 --> 03:44:46,780
Like they didn't have to have a transparent version of it that we could like see into

2337
03:44:47,420 --> 03:44:51,340
Like you know, like if you want to control the scope of the coverage

2338
03:44:51,420 --> 03:44:56,300
There's a lot of other ways to do it. I'll be so sick if they sold that one other than forcing me to

2339
03:44:56,380 --> 03:45:00,940
Other than forcing me to have like not enough time to do a good job. Anyway, I

2340
03:45:01,660 --> 03:45:06,700
Not the point. The point is that before I made a definitive statement on that. I would really want to

2341
03:45:07,500 --> 03:45:15,260
um Play for longer sessions, especially in games where I'm moving around quite a lot because

2342
03:45:15,660 --> 03:45:19,660
Sometimes it's not obvious immediately, but little movements and jiggles can kind of

2343
03:45:20,140 --> 03:45:25,100
They can wear away, especially if they like really, you know hit on the the hard parts right here

2344
03:45:25,660 --> 03:45:27,660
Or or here's an alternate answer

2345
03:45:28,940 --> 03:45:30,940
My opinion is that it's

2346
03:45:33,980 --> 03:45:37,260
Which is not It's not well, okay

2347
03:45:37,260 --> 03:45:40,700
It could be more valid than anyone else's because I've actually tried it

2348
03:45:40,700 --> 03:45:44,140
But I was trying to I was trying to demonstrate a point if you don't know

2349
03:45:44,620 --> 03:45:49,020
Then you should just say you don't know you shouldn't make definitive statements. Yeah

2350
03:45:50,540 --> 03:45:53,740
Wait, I think I figured out a way to ban Linus

2351
03:45:56,940 --> 03:45:58,940
From where

2352
03:46:03,740 --> 03:46:11,020
Nice See I was imagining that he had some kind of like low color depth filter and I was going to be banned or something

2353
03:46:11,420 --> 03:46:16,860
Oh I thought he was going to replace your side with a frame with you not sitting there

2354
03:46:17,660 --> 03:46:21,100
Oh, that'd be pretty good too, which I still thought was happening when he slid in the

2355
03:46:21,740 --> 03:46:29,660
I don't have any plates. I moved the camera today a mirror I know a new laptops too. I mean a mirror of luke's side would actually be pretty funny, too

2356
03:46:29,740 --> 03:46:32,460
Can I even do that? I bet you could figure that out

2357
03:46:33,260 --> 03:46:39,340
That'd be kind of you could be kind of hard to watch though. I know it uncomfortable. I know how I could do that in obs

2358
03:46:42,140 --> 03:46:45,420
You throwing shade on remix. No, I'm gonna have to ban you now

2359
03:46:46,300 --> 03:46:48,620
I just have never used remix. I don't know anything about it

2360
03:46:49,820 --> 03:46:55,340
Next up gearing up for the first plane trip 13 hours with our three month old

2361
03:46:55,740 --> 03:46:58,460
Because of a family emergency double

2362
03:46:59,580 --> 03:47:04,860
I wonder if you had some memorable difficult things with the used to be newborns

2363
03:47:05,020 --> 03:47:12,380
Oh, man. Yeah, we did uh, we did a trip to asia to see von's family when my second was I think one

2364
03:47:13,260 --> 03:47:15,260
or like one and change and

2365
03:47:17,420 --> 03:47:22,700
I wouldn't wish traveling with an infant or even a toddler honestly on anyone

2366
03:47:23,100 --> 03:47:29,980
Not on long-haul flights Like if you're just doing a little one and you can just like zonk them out on the ipad for a couple of hours

2367
03:47:30,060 --> 03:47:34,380
That's probably fine, but as soon as you're getting over like

2368
03:47:35,180 --> 03:47:39,180
Four hours on the plane they get and see they get cranky

2369
03:47:39,820 --> 03:47:45,340
they don't They don't know how to sleep. They don't let you sleep. Like it's just

2370
03:47:46,140 --> 03:47:49,820
a recipe for misery, man. I

2371
03:47:50,540 --> 03:47:56,860
I'm I'm sorry for whatever you're going through in your family emergency and I'm double sorry now that you are

2372
03:47:57,740 --> 03:48:01,500
Having to take a three month old traveling with you and I think that

2373
03:48:01,500 --> 03:48:08,540
Like I had someone like profusely apologizing to me for their kid crying on a flight recently because they were like right in front of me

2374
03:48:08,540 --> 03:48:11,660
I was like Bro

2375
03:48:14,060 --> 03:48:19,420
Why do you think I brought these you're good I get it it's part of the experience you just have to

2376
03:48:19,580 --> 03:48:25,580
You don't want to be here either. I know you don't want to be here 10 times as much as I don't want you here

2377
03:48:26,140 --> 03:48:29,900
so like You know if I don't want to deal with that

2378
03:48:31,420 --> 03:48:35,980
It used to bother me a bunch and then eventually I just accepted we're all cattle in a tube

2379
03:48:36,220 --> 03:48:39,180
dealing with their own problems and you just gotta you gotta

2380
03:48:40,140 --> 03:48:46,380
Just own the confines of your little seat area that you have make it the best experience you can given all the variables around you

2381
03:48:46,620 --> 03:48:52,300
And get through to the other end. That's really not that deep Do they just like not want to pay the check bag fee or what?

2382
03:48:54,860 --> 03:48:58,620
You know All right, next up a little crate

2383
03:48:59,980 --> 03:49:03,980
Cats or the parrots or whatever um, all right, let's see

2384
03:49:04,220 --> 03:49:12,780
Is it is it is a natural monopoly in a high barrier of entry industry like a bad thing in the case of asml

2385
03:49:13,020 --> 03:49:18,860
It seems more of a reward for technological innovation which incentivizes innovation

2386
03:49:21,020 --> 03:49:25,740
So when luke and I say monopoly bad competition good

2387
03:49:26,540 --> 03:49:31,500
Our perspective is as consumer aligned

2388
03:49:31,500 --> 03:49:35,020
representatives from the media

2389
03:49:36,060 --> 03:49:44,940
Does that kind of make sense and in general? I think that we have benefited more in our lives from competition than from

2390
03:49:45,740 --> 03:49:49,580
um successful

2391
03:49:49,740 --> 03:49:52,220
Companies monopolizing their industries

2392
03:49:53,980 --> 03:50:01,740
um I would also say that even if that disproportionate or maybe even not even disproportionate

2393
03:50:02,140 --> 03:50:08,380
Even if that high reward could incentivize others to try to compete

2394
03:50:09,500 --> 03:50:17,100
during that time of One ring ruling them all and others attempting but failing to compete

2395
03:50:17,820 --> 03:50:20,620
Is a bad time for consumers

2396
03:50:21,340 --> 03:50:26,300
That just didn't need to exist if there was always competition

2397
03:50:27,340 --> 03:50:37,260
the whole way through so Yes, I can see your argument that it is good to have a really big reward for

2398
03:50:37,820 --> 03:50:41,820
Really big investment and ingenuity and perseverance

2399
03:50:43,260 --> 03:50:47,580
But from a consumer standpoint, that is not the ideal

2400
03:50:48,460 --> 03:50:53,100
situation we would rather have More than one competitor in any given space

2401
03:50:53,660 --> 03:50:55,660
Yeah

2402
03:50:56,780 --> 03:51:00,300
That's it. What was the what was the core question?

2403
03:51:01,260 --> 03:51:09,260
um Can you not see the merit in a in a in a monopoly like asml because

2404
03:51:10,220 --> 03:51:17,580
The huge reward for winning the entire market should incentivize others to chase that huge reward

2405
03:51:17,820 --> 03:51:23,500
That's okay. I think you already answered it. I wasn't fully paying attention, but I mean

2406
03:51:25,020 --> 03:51:28,140
That's literally an argument for competition, but anyways

2407
03:51:32,540 --> 03:51:36,540
Had a great white shark show up on a dive two weeks ago

2408
03:51:37,180 --> 03:51:44,220
Video is amazing. Are you all keeping up with your diving and what animals or locations are still on the bucket list?

2409
03:51:44,460 --> 03:51:50,940
I have not Used it like practically at all. I think the last time I went was diving with denis

2410
03:51:51,500 --> 03:51:57,260
On mexico work occasion. Oh Whoa That was i was going to say i'm pretty sure i'm more up to date than you

2411
03:51:57,420 --> 03:51:59,740
I might be further asserted than you at this point

2412
03:52:00,460 --> 03:52:03,260
I think i'm only open water. Okay. Yeah

2413
03:52:04,780 --> 03:52:08,700
Yeah, I honestly don't know if I really care about that because even with open water

2414
03:52:08,700 --> 03:52:14,140
You can do a wreck dive as long as your dive master is asserted to guide open water divers on a wreck dive

2415
03:52:14,540 --> 03:52:16,780
You can do a deep dive even if the

2416
03:52:17,740 --> 03:52:22,860
As long as they're asserted to take you on it like I don't I could be wrong about this. Do not take this as a quote

2417
03:52:22,940 --> 03:52:25,420
I think there are still slightly different

2418
03:52:25,980 --> 03:52:34,300
Uh Limitations I guess oh and actually now that I think about it when we did that we were taking our advanced open water

2419
03:52:34,540 --> 03:52:39,740
So maybe that was the context of it. We Yvonne and I like passed our advanced open water

2420
03:52:39,740 --> 03:52:43,580
But we were like you didn't teach us anything

2421
03:52:44,060 --> 03:52:51,260
Oh, we just went on a bunch. We did it in mexico So we did our our open water here in vancouver and then we did our advanced open water in mexico

2422
03:52:51,340 --> 03:52:58,620
And they just like took us on a bunch of advanced dives We were like we're supposed to know all this like underwater navigation stuff like you didn't show us any of this

2423
03:52:58,620 --> 03:53:02,460
We just followed you around and they were like don't worry about that. I'm like no, I am worried about that

2424
03:53:02,540 --> 03:53:09,100
I don't want a certificate a certificate that I didn't earn I was concerned about this but did my advanced open water in greece

2425
03:53:09,820 --> 03:53:15,900
And uh, it was actually awesome. The dude was like pretty hardcore about like you're gonna do this, right?

2426
03:53:16,380 --> 03:53:21,100
Um, when we were doing the knot tying stuff. He had me do it, uh, blind

2427
03:53:21,580 --> 03:53:25,340
That's cool because he was like you might get you might not have a mask on yeah

2428
03:53:25,740 --> 03:53:29,180
There might be a problem. You might still have to tie that knot. So you need to be able to do it with your eyes

2429
03:53:29,260 --> 03:53:32,540
You might be on a night dive You might be really deep

2430
03:53:32,540 --> 03:53:37,980
So there might be a variety of variables. You need to be able to do it with your eyes closed and he also made me do underwater nav

2431
03:53:38,780 --> 03:53:44,140
um With no references other than kicks

2432
03:53:45,340 --> 03:53:51,820
Oh Interesting. I had to track. So there was one like pair of yeezys

2433
03:53:52,460 --> 03:53:54,460
Uh

2434
03:53:57,260 --> 03:54:02,620
Basically I had to be able to get back He we'd like swim up to a certain point and then I had to be able to go in like

2435
03:54:03,180 --> 03:54:07,580
Uh, a square and basically any direction and end up back where I started

2436
03:54:07,580 --> 03:54:12,700
Oh, that's cool And I wasn't allowed to have like a little navigation computer or whatever. I had to do it all just with kicks

2437
03:54:13,260 --> 03:54:19,500
Um, and it was not he purposely brought us to unclear water, right? And was there a current too?

2438
03:54:20,380 --> 03:54:23,100
Uh, I think we did that at one point. Yeah

2439
03:54:23,500 --> 03:54:27,500
um And he I don't remember the the deal behind it

2440
03:54:27,500 --> 03:54:30,540
But he taught me how to like try to do that a little bit better and he was like, you know

2441
03:54:30,540 --> 03:54:33,740
It's not going to be perfect, but if you're trying to get back to a boat

2442
03:54:33,900 --> 03:54:36,780
You can kind of use this information to help you get back to a boat

2443
03:54:38,700 --> 03:54:40,700
Which but yeah, he was awesome actually

2444
03:54:41,980 --> 03:54:46,300
Yeah Hi all

2445
03:54:46,940 --> 03:54:51,340
You've taught a lot of people some have started their own businesses with confidence

2446
03:54:51,500 --> 03:54:57,020
What do you try to do as a mentor and boss to help people grow? What was your favorite teachable moment?

2447
03:54:58,380 --> 03:55:05,100
Oh, man, this is a heavy question. I mean, I don't you might not be able to say I don't think that I'm

2448
03:55:05,820 --> 03:55:09,580
Uh, I'm a business mentor necessarily. I'm I'm just

2449
03:55:10,300 --> 03:55:15,180
I'm fumbling my way through this School of hard knocks

2450
03:55:15,180 --> 03:55:17,900
I didn't go to business school. I um

2451
03:55:19,020 --> 03:55:22,700
I don't know man. And a lot of the stuff that we do is not best practice

2452
03:55:26,140 --> 03:55:29,900
I mean, that's gonna be true for every business. Sure. I laugh, but that is true for every business

2453
03:55:30,060 --> 03:55:33,100
I just I just mean we do not like optimize

2454
03:55:34,060 --> 03:55:38,460
a lot of the time We need to do a bit more optimizing

2455
03:55:38,460 --> 03:55:41,820
We do need to do a bit more optimizing. I mean, we do need to be doing some some optimization

2456
03:55:41,820 --> 03:55:45,980
I mean, look, I I wrote how does LMG spend money this week? Um

2457
03:55:47,180 --> 03:55:50,620
And It definitely

2458
03:55:50,700 --> 03:55:54,380
Was that your feeling for you? Like did you learn things in that process 100%?

2459
03:55:55,100 --> 03:56:01,580
It hardcore flagged for me things that are going to need to be optimized. Um

2460
03:56:02,540 --> 03:56:05,820
Actually, uh here, let me see there was, um

2461
03:56:06,620 --> 03:56:10,220
Chewie put together some

2462
03:56:10,220 --> 03:56:13,260
Why can I never find people when I'm looking for them there it is

2463
03:56:14,060 --> 03:56:16,460
Yeah, Chewie put together some stuff like basically

2464
03:56:17,260 --> 03:56:23,900
Uh, we've made a lot of decisions as we've been rapidly growing that like made sense in isolation

2465
03:56:24,140 --> 03:56:27,900
Yeah, um, but now that we're not no longer do rapidly growing

2466
03:56:28,620 --> 03:56:34,140
Do not necessarily make sense anymore. Um, we've accumulated a lot of process debt

2467
03:56:34,780 --> 03:56:39,660
um We've accumulated a lot of sort of band-aid

2468
03:56:40,540 --> 03:56:45,820
solutions that Again made sense at the time, but probably don't make sense now. Um

2469
03:56:47,820 --> 03:56:56,460
Lots of those we Something that I don't really talk about in detail in the how does LMG spend money because it's meant to be sort of a snapshot of a

2470
03:56:56,460 --> 03:56:59,420
particular moment in time rather than a look at trends is that

2471
03:57:00,380 --> 03:57:05,740
As we've expanded our payroll and we'll talk about this part in more detail in the uh

2472
03:57:07,020 --> 03:57:09,260
In the video, but as we've as we've looked at

2473
03:57:10,060 --> 03:57:13,660
improving our compensation overall We have

2474
03:57:13,660 --> 03:57:17,660
scaled comp In a way that is not

2475
03:57:17,660 --> 03:57:26,620
In line with our revenue scaling And that's been going on for a fairly extended period of time now like on the order of years

2476
03:57:27,340 --> 03:57:31,100
Um View counts have been getting better

2477
03:57:31,100 --> 03:57:34,700
You know, we've been we're we're kind of we're back to a more sustainable

2478
03:57:35,420 --> 03:57:40,300
Sort of overall viewership, but with that said the youtube game is getting more cutthroat

2479
03:57:40,860 --> 03:57:44,460
You can upload it used to be that if you uploaded a banger video

2480
03:57:44,460 --> 03:57:49,260
You might get two million views on it and if you uploaded a total downer video, you might get one million views

2481
03:57:49,980 --> 03:57:52,620
Now your banger video might hit three million

2482
03:57:53,260 --> 03:57:59,580
Four million, but your downer video might get 400 000. So you don't have that same right predictable

2483
03:58:00,060 --> 03:58:03,340
Yeah, a little bit more floor. It's down in the basement now

2484
03:58:04,140 --> 03:58:07,740
And that's that's harder to that's harder to sell to sponsors. That's harder to

2485
03:58:08,620 --> 03:58:13,500
Capitalize on for yourself like when we're promoting a big deal on lttstore.com or something like that

2486
03:58:13,580 --> 03:58:17,900
And the video that we have that goes up promoting it like we can see the difference in performance when

2487
03:58:18,300 --> 03:58:22,780
It's a half a million view video versus if it's like a two three million view banger, right?

2488
03:58:26,060 --> 03:58:30,380
This was a fun one capital expenditures They get the most attention right like when we buy a fire truck

2489
03:58:30,860 --> 03:58:35,740
Or we buy a big led wall or we buy like uh, uh, a huge

2490
03:58:36,460 --> 03:58:41,340
Sound chamber or a thermal chamber. Yeah, or a three-stage chiller. Yeah fugger or whatever

2491
03:58:42,220 --> 03:58:44,540
Capital expenditures are under one percent of our spend

2492
03:58:45,340 --> 03:58:51,260
under one So, you know, that's a weird bucket to define though. I guess almost everything's going to be a weird bucket

2493
03:58:51,260 --> 03:58:56,620
Well, yeah, it's in how you define it. So we define A lot of what some companies might call cap X

2494
03:58:57,180 --> 03:59:00,060
Would be we have under sort of an umbrella that we call overhead

2495
03:59:00,540 --> 03:59:04,220
Okay, and so so for us we defined our capital expenditures as

2496
03:59:05,260 --> 03:59:10,300
Sort of outlier purchases particularly for content or for or for product testing

2497
03:59:11,420 --> 03:59:17,900
So, you know looking at it like Those are all videos that performed well or series of videos that

2498
03:59:19,580 --> 03:59:25,900
Will will perform well over time, right? Um, and it's just it's a lot of little things that you only really notice

2499
03:59:27,420 --> 03:59:30,860
When you write it down and when you like graph it

2500
03:59:31,580 --> 03:59:34,940
And start to really look at it and go like okay now hold on a second like

2501
03:59:36,060 --> 03:59:40,300
Does this make sense for how much it contributes to the business?

2502
03:59:41,260 --> 03:59:44,460
Does this make sense for how much it contributes to the business?

2503
03:59:45,180 --> 03:59:47,500
Up or down in any case. So

2504
03:59:48,380 --> 03:59:52,780
It's the kind of thing that when you're just wait. Yeah, when you're when you're building the plane as you're flying it

2505
03:59:52,860 --> 03:59:55,820
You don't really look at it that closely, but we've had

2506
03:59:56,700 --> 04:00:00,060
um A couple years now of lower

2507
04:00:00,860 --> 04:00:05,100
Production targets like I don't know if people have like noticed this

2508
04:00:05,740 --> 04:00:14,300
But I think they have I think they just stopped commenting on it because it was so long We used to have like a hundred ish people. We are now up to like 120 people

2509
04:00:15,100 --> 04:00:21,820
and um, we used to do six LTT's a week plus wanshow plus two tech quickies

2510
04:00:22,220 --> 04:00:28,620
Plus three tech links plus two game links plus two to four short circuits plus

2511
04:00:29,340 --> 04:00:36,380
um Shoot there's one i'm missing. I don't think channel super. Oh, yeah. No Channel Super Fun did overlap with that schedule for a while

2512
04:00:36,780 --> 04:00:41,740
Plus a Channel Super Fun Shoot i'm sure i'm missing something

2513
04:00:41,900 --> 04:00:46,220
What am I missing? Oh, yeah, plus Mac Address whenever that got uploaded

2514
04:00:46,780 --> 04:00:51,660
um And our head count Has not appreciably changed

2515
04:00:51,900 --> 04:00:58,620
In this time that we've been doing anywhere from Realistically about three and a half LTT's a week is what we've been averaging

2516
04:00:59,340 --> 04:01:05,580
We completely hiatus to Techquickie Completely hiatus GameLinked completely hiatus to Mac Address

2517
04:01:06,540 --> 04:01:10,540
Um, did I already say Techquickie? I think I already said Techquickie sure. Um

2518
04:01:12,300 --> 04:01:19,420
And people Feel very like overworked and I don't think that they're necessarily

2519
04:01:20,060 --> 04:01:28,380
Just like lying about that So that then leans back to what we were kind of previously talking about of like what are we doing? Yeah

2520
04:01:28,940 --> 04:01:34,620
Process overhead. Where's where's the loss? What are we spending our time on this engine has a lot of

2521
04:01:35,260 --> 04:01:39,900
energy waste In in potentially variety of areas

2522
04:01:40,220 --> 04:01:45,580
So I think that's um, I think that's something that we're going to be reflecting on

2523
04:01:46,380 --> 04:01:49,180
Heavily over the next little while. Yeah

2524
04:01:49,900 --> 04:01:56,540
Anyway, you guys can expect that video probably a little bit after ceas. I think elijah. I saw him turning through the guidance for it

2525
04:01:57,020 --> 04:02:00,620
um That's kind of that's kind of getting to be a bit of a like

2526
04:02:00,940 --> 04:02:06,460
Superpower of his like he did the guidance for the the RAM crisis video that we uploaded earlier this week

2527
04:02:06,540 --> 04:02:11,820
I thought he just uh him and uh, who was who was the editor for that guidance makes sense in my brain

2528
04:02:12,620 --> 04:02:17,420
um Hold on. I'm trying to remember. I think it might have been kendrick

2529
04:02:18,380 --> 04:02:23,100
I'm gonna double check though because I don't want to give credit to the wrong people

2530
04:02:23,660 --> 04:02:30,460
So this video a really cool video Special thanks to the ecc squad seriously though. Shout out the ecc squad. You guys rock

2531
04:02:31,260 --> 04:02:33,260
Uh, hold on. Here's the regular credits

2532
04:02:36,060 --> 04:02:41,580
Where's my editor? Yeah, Kendrick. Kendrick was the editor. Um, so yeah between him and um,

2533
04:02:42,380 --> 04:02:48,300
And andrew and Kendrick. I thought they just did a really good job of maintaining really cohesive

2534
04:02:49,020 --> 04:02:52,860
Visuals throughout it that made it really engaging. I thought they yeah, just an outstanding job

2535
04:02:52,860 --> 04:03:00,540
I technically I don't know this because I am actually, you know, not the one who determines once and for all if a video is good

2536
04:03:01,020 --> 04:03:05,420
um You guys get to decide that I haven't actually looked at the retention for it

2537
04:03:05,900 --> 04:03:08,620
But to me it felt like a very

2538
04:03:09,660 --> 04:03:15,500
Pleasant short watch relative to its runtime and that's usually a pretty solid indicator

2539
04:03:16,140 --> 04:03:18,460
I've been doing this for a while and I usually

2540
04:03:19,260 --> 04:03:22,380
Have a decent sense but I don't always get it right though, right?

2541
04:03:23,340 --> 04:03:26,540
Not even not not at all could not claim that

2542
04:03:27,820 --> 04:03:34,300
I could try to claim that but then I'd be a big liar. Yeah retention is really strong. It's like well above average. Nice. Yeah

2543
04:03:35,820 --> 04:03:37,820
Yeah, so good job guys

2544
04:03:38,940 --> 04:03:43,180
Hey lld got the wife interested in the tech house series

2545
04:03:43,580 --> 04:03:49,420
What ideas do you have for a spouse approved slash hidden tech going to be following and upgrading along the way?

2546
04:03:49,660 --> 04:03:54,060
Thanks for the amazing content. I mean a big one is um

2547
04:03:55,500 --> 04:03:58,540
I think we're going to be getting a lot better at

2548
04:03:59,100 --> 04:04:03,100
wiring and cable management because I'm a big fan of

2549
04:04:04,220 --> 04:04:07,500
Eliminating batteries and wireless technology from my life

2550
04:04:08,300 --> 04:04:14,380
And I'd like to find ways to do things as wired as possible while maintaining really strong

2551
04:04:15,100 --> 04:04:19,260
spouse approval factor So this is a bit of a derail

2552
04:04:19,260 --> 04:04:22,540
But part of the my place will be kind of fresh plan

2553
04:04:22,940 --> 04:04:27,580
Is that I want to have some self-hosted iot things going on and some other stuff happening

2554
04:04:28,060 --> 04:04:32,140
Uh for once and one of the problems that I've ran into that

2555
04:04:32,700 --> 04:04:38,460
You know, I'm probably gonna try to solve it before the tech house. I guess but where our computers are going to be now

2556
04:04:39,100 --> 04:04:46,300
There's a cat 5e through the wall That cable in the wall. I still haven't done the testing because again, I've been focused on

2557
04:04:47,580 --> 04:04:51,180
Other grander stuff, but it could be yeah that too. It could be

2558
04:04:51,820 --> 04:04:57,580
um The the short cable going from router to patch instead of the cable through the wall

2559
04:04:58,220 --> 04:05:02,380
But I think it's a cable through the wall Uh that cable might be messed up

2560
04:05:02,620 --> 04:05:08,940
The second a significant load happens my computer like it's blinking Ethernet cable and I lose all networking

2561
04:05:09,020 --> 04:05:12,700
Hopefully it's just the termination hopefully

2562
04:05:12,700 --> 04:05:18,700
Hopefully but I don't know so I might have to figure out how to gonna learn to fish that cable nice solid

2563
04:05:21,100 --> 04:05:26,140
Everything with this place just turns into like oh, here's a new project that I've never had to try to figure out how to do before

2564
04:05:26,940 --> 04:05:29,980
And you're finally going to finish it and then you're going to go. You know what?

2565
04:05:31,260 --> 04:05:36,220
Maybe it's time to Yeah, I've been

2566
04:05:36,220 --> 04:05:38,220
I've been uh rather aware of that

2567
04:05:39,420 --> 04:05:46,300
Yeah, no comment. That's uh, that's your thing to figure out in terms of your timing. Yeah, but uh, yeah cool

2568
04:05:47,820 --> 04:05:52,220
Good luck with that Yeah, that's the both ends. You can just pull a new. Yeah, I know

2569
04:05:52,780 --> 04:05:59,100
My problem is how it fishes through depends on if it's like stapled to the studs and stuff too. I don't know that

2570
04:05:59,420 --> 04:06:08,620
um, and it's it's Very far from reasonable angles and stuff and seeing how this place was put together

2571
04:06:08,860 --> 04:06:14,460
It'll either be just draped there and easy to do because no one cared to do it properly or it'll be like

2572
04:06:14,620 --> 04:06:21,180
Oh, I don't know 17 staples in one spot for no apparent reason. Um, so we'll see. Oh, here's a quick one

2573
04:06:21,660 --> 04:06:25,820
Uh, the pebble round two Was apparently just announced

2574
04:06:26,220 --> 04:06:28,620
That looks good. Yeah, it looks actually pretty

2575
04:06:29,420 --> 04:06:32,300
Sick. Wow. I get it though. That's very funny

2576
04:06:33,820 --> 04:06:37,180
Round two. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right

2577
04:06:38,940 --> 04:06:43,980
That's pretty good. All right. That's all As a former kiyoksia employee

2578
04:06:44,380 --> 04:06:50,380
I was amazed to see the fab tour you got Surprising they let you see more than I could working there

2579
04:06:51,020 --> 04:06:57,900
What's your take on how the audience liked it and what's next hopefully more is next I love doing that kind of thing

2580
04:06:57,980 --> 04:07:03,420
And yeah, I was I was very impressed and pleased with the amount of access that we were able to get

2581
04:07:03,980 --> 04:07:08,220
Uh, it was a battle to get as much access as we did. I can tell you that

2582
04:07:08,700 --> 04:07:10,700
um, we had a meeting with

2583
04:07:11,820 --> 04:07:15,500
As many as I think it was like 20 people in the room and another 20 on the call

2584
04:07:16,060 --> 04:07:20,860
um, sort of talking through the plan for the next day after our first day of shooting and like

2585
04:07:21,820 --> 04:07:27,660
To be to be clear. I don't mean this in like a disrespectful way or like a an antagonistic way

2586
04:07:28,700 --> 04:07:31,180
These sorts of things are always kind of a battle

2587
04:07:32,540 --> 04:07:38,700
Yeah, because these are closely guarded corporate secrets that have never been

2588
04:07:39,340 --> 04:07:44,540
Talked about or seen before like like to your point you could work there and not see things that we saw

2589
04:07:45,100 --> 04:07:47,660
And so I understand why they're a little cagey about

2590
04:07:48,540 --> 04:07:52,220
Us walking around in there with like people aren't allowed to like bring their phone in

2591
04:07:52,780 --> 04:07:57,260
And because they might snap a picture here in there and we're walking around with a full kit, right?

2592
04:07:58,620 --> 04:08:01,740
Um and

2593
04:08:01,820 --> 04:08:07,020
It was incredible and I'd love to do more of it if there's other companies that you know want to

2594
04:08:07,500 --> 04:08:12,300
Want to chop through all the red tape that's involved in getting us that kind of access so that we can

2595
04:08:13,020 --> 04:08:16,140
Bring people along for the ride and help them really appreciate

2596
04:08:16,940 --> 04:08:21,100
What it is that you guys are doing over there then we're we're super down. I love it

2597
04:08:22,860 --> 04:08:27,340
Oh, I haven't seen it yet, but apparently veritasium did a really cool video this week on asml's um

2598
04:08:28,620 --> 04:08:34,060
Incredible this I've not seen it. Oh good. That's cool. What is it? Does he like go there? Yeah

2599
04:08:34,380 --> 04:08:40,060
Oh, that's it and they go into some really technical details and it's just awesome. He's a phenomenal job

2600
04:08:40,780 --> 04:08:46,540
Uh, last one I've got for you today. Hey luke heard that getting tips from wendell on

2601
04:08:47,260 --> 04:08:52,540
Building an llm server. Would there be a chance to follow along with your home lab journey?

2602
04:08:53,340 --> 04:08:57,020
I don't know. Maybe I I'm starting to question its feasibility

2603
04:08:58,140 --> 04:09:05,260
Based on GPU pricing I've got a couple you can borrow if you want. Yeah, we'll see. I definitely I so I've got a variety of goals

2604
04:09:06,140 --> 04:09:10,140
um But yeah, we'll we'll see how this stuff

2605
04:09:11,020 --> 04:09:15,520
gets Sorted out over time. There's like um

2606
04:09:16,940 --> 04:09:24,460
I've been preaching local llm for a long time So I really want to actually do it because I don't want to be like telling people that they should look into it and not

2607
04:09:24,460 --> 04:09:26,780
Look into it myself. That seems lame. I don't know

2608
04:09:27,500 --> 04:09:33,180
No, where you're coming where you're getting at with this. You have a variety of what and that has to do with the local

2609
04:09:34,300 --> 04:09:37,580
AI server Gulls

2610
04:09:37,580 --> 04:09:41,900
Gulls goals goals. I know. I'm just playing these you said goals

2611
04:09:42,620 --> 04:09:48,540
Okay Um, there's only got one sinus leave alone. Yeah, I really

2612
04:09:49,260 --> 04:09:55,580
Um, sorry, but yeah, I've been having a bunch of fun watching. Yeah, jeff geerling and wendell and other people's stuff

2613
04:09:56,220 --> 04:09:58,940
I've wanted to do homelabby things for a long time

2614
04:09:59,420 --> 04:10:06,140
um So this is going to be my my dive into that both on the networking and the server side of things

2615
04:10:06,460 --> 04:10:12,060
I want to do In a lot of cases self-developed in some cases just self-hosted iot things

2616
04:10:13,020 --> 04:10:16,860
I want to do some self-hosted services. I want to have my own

2617
04:10:17,340 --> 04:10:21,660
Um home video distribution Um instead of just borrowing others

2618
04:10:21,980 --> 04:10:25,500
Um, I there's a lot of different goals. I'm easy

2619
04:10:26,300 --> 04:10:28,300
You'd be crazy not to buy it

2620
04:10:34,060 --> 04:10:38,220
But uh, I mean my family does like this holiday valheim server

2621
04:10:38,300 --> 04:10:41,100
We've this is the second year in a row that we've done it. Um

2622
04:10:41,740 --> 04:10:47,180
But it's like the the thing the solution that we've had is like kind of unstable and lags a lot and

2623
04:10:48,140 --> 04:10:52,860
There's issues with it. So like if I could just host that myself. Yeah, that would be sweet

2624
04:10:52,940 --> 04:10:55,900
Like there's just a lot of things where I'm like, this is honestly very overdue

2625
04:10:56,460 --> 04:10:59,740
um, so I'm trying to start figuring it out but

2626
04:11:00,460 --> 04:11:03,420
Going from zero to the point that I want to be at is like a lot

2627
04:11:03,900 --> 04:11:08,460
So I'm trying to research and learn things and figure out how I want to step into this realm

2628
04:11:09,340 --> 04:11:12,300
Old tom asks how often do you think of the roman empire?

2629
04:11:12,460 --> 04:11:19,180
These days for reasons that I don't really feel like I need to get into

2630
04:11:19,900 --> 04:11:21,900
Kind of a lot

2631
04:11:23,340 --> 04:11:27,260
We'll see you again next week same bad time same bad channel

2632
04:11:29,020 --> 04:11:31,020
