get it adjusted. Hello hello hello hello hello hello yes the compressor has kicked in now that's why it's cold outside. Oh my goodness this is an interesting strat you're sitting that far from a power outlet but you've chosen to charge your laptop off of the battery. Where's the USB plug on the power outlet? Thank you for coming to my TED talk. I don't know why why don't you have a charger for your laptop. No I know I'm charging the battery bank. Off of your laptop oh this is even dumber than I thought. Well where's the where's the other plug? Right What do you mean? That's the charger for the battery. What? Run your laptop off of battery. Why? Because it'll charge this faster. I have the whole show. The whole show for your incredible the WAN Show with our laptop partner Dell to just last for a long time and then this would be charged. You know what you do you. I can do it it's fine. This way I'll never have to worry about it's all it's completely. Yeah you've created a perpetual motion machine you've done a good job. What do you mean? The laptop so the wall charges the laptop which charges the battery bank which charges the laptop everything is charged. It's it's going one direction right now it's just it's just charging the battery bank. It's got that one thing. Yeah yeah that's what makes it beautiful. I do find it very annoying. My Lenovo laptop literally no matter what the state of the laptop is and no matter what the state of the battery bank is it will only flow battery bank to laptop. This is no we're not live this has nothing to do with Dell versus Lenovo whatever. It's probably like like Lenovo's like utility. Probably something there might be a way I can configure it to change it whatever but like the whole handshake thing that everyone was told it does not do that on that laptop for whatever reason. It does charge the laptop though which is cool. Nice. That is sweet. That is also like why I did buy this as well even though it's your green friendly sponsor bros I bought it all right. Should we do this thing? Let's do this thing. Let's get the show started. First exclusive to the pre-show stop floaties. Oh no Christmas is done. No longer Christmas. Oh no. That's right. That's how you know that he died because the tree goes away. No his mass is over but he lives on in spirit and also came back to life with new mass. Also Christmas is like the birth one not the death one but also he wasn't born at Christmas time so I'd love to listen to Linus religious tips. Not going to happen. I was trying to explain religious concepts to someone a few days ago using Warhammer 40k references to try to make them make sense. I was like you see. The Holy Ghost is like the war. I was literally doing something. I was like you need to understand. The Geller drive is like the communion wafers. The amazing part was it was working. It actually helps to make it make sense. The tech priests are like real priests. Mars' influence on the politics of Terra are important to understand. I'm going to grab a snack because it's a little bit early to be this crazy without a snack. Oh man. Yeah I can't remember what like sparked it. I think they were trying to say that like oh man I don't know if I want to get to religious stuff but I don't think this is anti any particular religion. They were trying to say that they find it interesting how you're supposed to interpret things that were done or may have been done based on writings largely from other people about a certain person and I was talking about how Warhammer 40k has that problem. Leave it at that. Are we canceled now? No I think I tried carefully enough. Or was it the other way around? They were talking about that in Warhammer and I related that to it anyways. It's something. It was a bit of a go. What are we waiting for at this current moment? Just snack time? Okay. Perfect. Who's here? My life for Iyer. My life for Iyer. I miss when StarCraft was like cool and relevant. They could have done so much with that IP. So much dude. Where's Ghost? Look at what happened to Space Marine dude. Don't say his name. StarCraft Ghost man. Oh no. Look there's even like I don't know if this stuff is fake or not but man and you may be like whoa looks bad. It's so old dude. I don't know if this is real. I don't know if the time frame makes sense for it to have like Halo 2 graphics. Another one graphics maybe. It's Fortnite? No. I don't think so. No. 2005. Wow it is that old. Multiplayer plot. I had so much going for it dude. Base around a beloved character who is super hyped up in multiple games. Everything. Any hope for that? No. There's no hope for ghosts. Not currently at least. We'll see what I guess a Microsoft decides to do because that's a thing now I guess. Strangely enough. Four minutes of StarCraft Ghost gameplay with commentary. I forgot this was like a thing. Look at me spore flashbacks. Look at this dude. Spore flashbacks. Spore actually came out though. Yeah but it was nothing like it was supposed to be. Well yeah because it was Star Citizen. It looks like it would be fun. Yeah. I can't believe they had this much of a game and it never became a thing. Wild. All right. Should we do this thing? Nice sweater dude. You've got things going on. I don't know if you want that or not. Sure. Sounds good. Adds to the stoyle. Resuming the selected now. Dan you might have to let me know when it's live. Heard. Heard. Peter Mullen you. That's a name I haven't heard. What's up everybody and welcome to the WAN Show. We have a great show lined up for you guys this week because people weren't in office much this week so Luke and I will be making up a lot of things as we go. Yeah. That's right. The RAM shortage is in full swing and there's been even further negative developments. That's right. It has gotten worse. No. I'm serious. Over Christmas. Yes. How could they. It got worse. There's actually system integrators that have come up with the innovation of selling computers without RAM. Bring your own RAM PCs. That is end times right there. I will say end times. No we're not talking about it yet. Also we're going to be talking about how Spotify managed to be entirely scraped. That's right. You can download the entirety of Spotify if of course you are a filthy pirate which no judgment you might be. Speaking of scraping Google sues another company for scraping Google in an act that is very interesting. Okay. Thank you. That does sound interesting. Also Valve continues the cheapest steam deck. Did you say continues or discontinues. I might have said continues. I meant discontinues. Right. Nice. A bit of a bit of an important clarity. Discontinued. Yes. They continued to discontinue. The show is brought to you by. Oh crap. I. My brain does not turn on this early in the morning. And it's brought to you by Squarespace Vessie AMD and you green along with our chair partner secret lab our Dell partner laptop laptop partner Dell and of course our rap partner D brand. Our D brand partner rap. Did we. Yo D brand. Did we continue having our rap. D brand protect your laptop. Don't let it be a crap top. Oh my God. Watch me go flip flap top. Oh yeah. Flap top. Yeah but you just rhymed top with top. You did laptop and flap top. I've heard far more egregious non rhymes in actual professional music sir. Fair enough. It has happened I guess. Yo. No. Okay sure. Yo let's go straight into Yo ho ho Spotify has been scraped and is being loaded on torrents and as archives scraped and downloaded 256 million rows of metadata actually wait no I lied I have something more important to talk about first and that is that these are out now and you have a very very limited amount of time to get them for 20% off courtesy of oh God courtesy of YouTube the priz magic screwdrivers are here they're out non infringing purple non infringing teal non infringing orange and legally distinct gray they're all here delicious we're calling them plasma purple molten orange cryo teal and carbon black fun nostalgic Y2K clear tech colors it's the priz magic series of screwdrivers and we are teaming up with YouTube shop to offer 20% off from December 26th to the 30th 20%

LTT Store stuff later but that is the most important one one quick sec while we talk about YouTube shopping adding it with YouTube shopping does that mean grabbing it down here how do they do that like if I'm on I'm on the the website if I'm on the website I see this banner so if you video on YouTube add product and cart through YouTube shopping discounts automatically applied I click view on YouTube you've got to be kidding me hold on Sammy says we're having issues right now trying to resolve oh hey everyone we're having some issues with YouTube shopping promo we're working on it as fast as we can what sorry I just I tried to go through the flow and was just like yeah cool no work and as archive the scraped and downloaded 256 million rows of metadata and 86 million auto audio files from Spotify totaling around 300 terabytes of data and as archive typically aggregates print media links for books and papers and provides searchable results in its mission of preserving humanity's knowledge and culture and as archive has been blocked in many countries and has had hundreds of millions of URL takedown requests filed with Google the 86 million audio tracks that's me are composed of 160 kilobit per second quality for popular songs and it drops down to 75 kilobits per second for less listened tracks I am muted now these tracks represent 99.6% of listens on Spotify that's crazy they state this Spotify scrape is our humble attempt to start such a preservation archive for music of course Spotify doesn't have all the music in the world but it's a great start they will be releasing the data on their torrents page in different stages with the metadata already released then the music files will be dropped in order of popularity followed by additional file metadata and album art they also state on their blog for now this is a torrents only archive aimed at preservation but if there is enough interest we could add downloading of individual files to Anna's archive please let us know if you would like this Spotify later responded saying they have identified and disabled the accounts that were scraping the data they state since day one we have stood with the artist community against piracy and we are actively working with our industry partners to protect creators and defend their rights all right so this seems you know what let's have the conversation we were having pre-show oh boy Luke has a theory that that I think is an interesting theory and let's not get too deep into the granularity necessarily of it okay but Luke basically presented that he wasn't sure that people would be as yo ho ho are you know about this and I don't think they have been I would put that out there as they necessarily have been about other things and I just want to do like kind of a vibe check with the community basically I'll lay out sort of the bones of Luke's theory and then we can shiver me them timbers bury them six feet under or we can or we can keep talking about it but basically what he said was like there seems to be a sliding scale of acceptance like yeah like a pecking order of what's very okay to pirate versus what's not very okay to pirate TV shows seem to be very okay to pirate among sort of like you know the internet community sure books seem to be surprisingly okay thoughtlessly no one cares pirated with with no cares given you know websites with paywalls seem to get treated as just like like that was just an obstacle that was in the way of my God given right to view the website so they seem to be like on the highest level of acceptance for for that but then audio over and this is a funny thing because in the early torrenting days when it was when we called it Napster audio was like most of it audio was most of it yeah and that was mostly because just the internet wasn't really fast enough to meaningfully pirate movies and and TV shows and also streaming sites didn't really exist encoding technology wasn't as as awesome like you couldn't get great quality at an amount of you know bandwidth that was reasonable for you to actually download like it just you know video media just wasn't really feasible at that time but like what are what are your guys's what are your guys's take on this oh right so where I was going with that was but audio ever since I mean realistically ever since the all you can eat subscription model came to music I would say that music piracy while maybe maybe it's not deemed more acceptable than before it's certainly fallen out of vogue yeah and I will say that to counter my theory being more correct I suspect one of the reasons why there hasn't been as big of an explosion about this and his archive music thing as maybe there could have been is because a lot of people are subscribed to something YouTube premium which gives them YouTube music or Spotify or I don't know I'm assuming there's an Apple thing or title or whatever so they already have a subscription service that has practically everything so they just don't really like care that this archive is out there as much lion cat also brings up trying to buy TV shows and movies is really hard in digital formats that I don't have restrictions on whereas buying music with zero DRM is easy and fairly cheap so that sort of is it I believe so I mean I have I have mp3's that I bought on iTunes like 15 years ago that I could totally that's still a thing because that's the only way I don't know I don't know a couple artists that I've wanted to directly support so I've literally just like bought their thing and like I don't even know if it ever showed up it was like never the point right I just yeah but in a lot of cases if you're not an iTunes person band camp is that they do sort of has an interesting take here and to be clear I'm not I'm not backing any of these comments from float plain chat that I'm reading I'm just kind of reading them out because they're different from each other sort of says AI companies can scrape everything in existence I accept that everything is okay to pirate until AI companies with pirated data are gone after essentially that's interesting willing spy says if I cross the line I'm gonna cross the line I won't have any reservations so okay that's that's interesting doesn't feel like band camp is truly a solution in my view I'm looking up a few different things Dan vibes in float plain chat not to be confused with producer Dan says I'm a DJ I am also subscribed to official DJ libraries but for personal use I use certain YouTube downloaders so they so Dan vibes draws the line between commercial use and personal use that's an interesting line that is I think it's a semi common line yeah yeah no I can I can see that Savas I have no problem paying a certain amount of money for a single movie or TV show but all of them want subscriptions that drives me crazy I watch like one movie a month Stone Monarch says I only pirate music because even if I pay for it it gets removed I mean I think that's a bit of a rationalization Stone Monarch there's a there's a lot of music that doesn't get removed from subscription services I don't I don't think there's been like a mass removing event there certainly have been things that have been removed and that certainly is is a major downer I am I am like actively trying to buy a digital version of a particular album and I am not succeeding seriously I blink 182 album this I tried to make it a low-hanging that can't be that hard a digital version yeah it doesn't seem to be the easiest thing ever is this physical or digital audio CD nice solid literally literally solid it's solid the one on their actual store is an LP I looked up blink when I to on bandcamp right and they only have one album and it's Buddha which is like I don't think most people know that that album exists this is this is not like the easiest thing ever if I yeah yeah there's a website where I can find listings for it in CD vinyl and cassette forms but I can't find a digital version people are saying a couple random websites I'll try this one if this website is legit I'd really hope that it would come up in a search this is music streaming yeah okay download store okay I'll check I'll check so is the issue a service issue again oh wow float wow Floatplane chat is is is super active right now about this definitely a lot of opinions Ben 34 says I feel a lot less guilty pirating something if I support the person actively on social media I feel this is fine what do you think what does that mean well depends what you mean by supporting if like you press thumbs up once in a while on one of their tweets I would say that that does not count well listen my whole thing with piracy right is I've always said here's the impact you're gonna draw your own line what I can say is that the amount of money they would have made from you not pirating their stuff is substantially maybe even infinitely higher than what they're gonna make from you pressing thumbs up once in a while so you know if you're trying to if you're trying to find like a like a monetary support rationale then that's definitely not equivalent however you know if you're if you're drawing the line some other way then you know that's that's your line to draw but I would say they're not the same thing minor skills says I mean half the movies and shows I want to watch are not available anymore at all not in my country etc that's a that's a major one is like the whole regional licensing massive I think that's a huge driver for piracy there's a lot of this is one of the reasons why I basically refuse to subscribe to any of those services is somewhat somewhat in line with the person who said oh I might subscribe for a certain thing of music and then it's gone that's much more real in my opinion on the movies and TV show side of things yeah where you subscribe to a service and then I don't know the show some of the shows that you might have wanted might just disappear that's happened many times with things like Netflix clapped k-24 accord says I'll gladly buy a concert shirt when I'm seeing artists perform live if you aren't good enough for me to see live I don't feel the need to directly support you and then goes on to completely obliterate their own argument saying only exception is the tragically hip and other bands where members have died and disbanded right exactly or members where live performances are not practical because you know they they do a lot of post-processing on their music and that's you know is not conducive to performing live or maybe they have a health condition that makes it so that they can't perform live or you know there's a I think that's a I think that again not taking a stance on your stance but you took a stance on your stance you said this is my line by the way here's a giant hole in the line that I that I drew and that that was on you who did that not me music's good on shuffle videos and more yeah wow this is really really interesting okay the outlier says I pirate music music videos and movies however videos I have a Spotify account for actually listening to music and an offline backup in case it gets taken down so yeah like on a personal level I kind of like that I buy blue rays vinyls of content I love and I go and see many live shows and go to the theaters regularly so you are the outlier aren't you it's literally the username the outlier oh yeah okay I mean yeah it's it is very interesting to see how easy it was for any time I've ever talked about piracy for it to tick off a large percentage of the audience because reading through these comments and the conversations like this is about the fastest I think I can remember seeing Floatplane chat moving move yeah everybody has drawn not just like a line on a linear scale for like how much piracy is okay because there's all the different ways of piracy piracy aing there's all the different mediums that you can pirate there's all the different definitions of piracy I mean there's a lot of folks myself included who feel that piracy is circumvention of the of the of the payment of a media good like to me that was always kind of what it fundamentally boiled down to there are clearly folks who do not agree to them piracy requires it to be illegal explicitly that was and and I believe that is actually like dictionary definition yeah correct I think that's the reason why you switched to calling it privateering yes so it's like this whole it becomes like a whole spirit versus letter of the law sort of argument at that point which again to me has always been you know sort of sort of arbitrary but to a lot of people is a very important line that they draw for their own personal morality so that they don't have to wear a tricorn hat or something but yeah it's clear it's clear that y'all are okay man I keep getting new takes here ick see your face goes I'd never pirate fiction but non-fictional educational pretty much always I think that's also a pretty common line to be honest also really yeah I think so I mean explain it to me when you're on dude when you're on university campuses the the hats are on yeah sure the hats are firmly positioned I just a little bit on the older side because digital textbooks was not as much of a thing when I was in my first couple years barely creaking into being a thing when I was going to school I bought all my textbooks used people were that was a thing just about it and then I resold them in in some cases I definitely honestly do agree there are a lot of documented documented counts where people are bumping revisions of books for practically nothing where the author of the book is the teacher of the class and then bumping revisions to make you buy new ones and like all this yeah there is a lot of very obviously unfair play in the educational space and you know it's still not legal for that whole line thing that we're talking about right I can definitely understand why someone's line could be placed in a position where they're like I'm cool the pirate this I'm going to be okay with that because it's like you know you're you're spending a mind shattering amount on getting North American education and yeah 2024 study showed a huge number of student students pirate books and also share them around totally makes that zero zero says there's even some university lecturers who will send an email out saying don't use these websites yeah these ones this is a thing that has actually also happened many times make it easier for them to find them yeah like it's it's it's tough because think think of how many scenarios you are required to buy a book clapped k-24 Accord says I proudly pirated the Canadian electrical code if safety is that important I ain't paying $300 on it get wrecked yeah people have their own line right I could see there being certain educational books that I would feel really bad about pirating yeah and I could see there being certain educational books where I'd be like download like I don't know I think it really depends on the the one specifically for me yeah and I can be the biggest takeaway here is that literally no two people sitting next to each other in a room could possibly agree a hundred percent on what's okay and what's not okay to pirate yeah unless they were absolutists unless they were literally sith yeah yeah only a sith speaks in absolutes literally nothing is okay or literally everything which there are people in both camps yeah there there are there are people I do wonder as many of them in this conversation right now in this chat but there are people I do wonder if eventually you could poke a hole in most of those people's belief system though simply by bringing it back around to something that that they work on because it's amazing how quickly you can do that where you kind of go okay but what if what if they pirated you know this thing that you create you know what if some but what if somebody didn't pay you for your work and they'll be like well obviously you know that's an exception because there's I know there's a oh I hope I don't misrepresent their argument but I know there's a group of people where it's all information should be free at all times and it just that's their line and they don't care if they make it or not make it yeah if they're creating information whatever that might be oh I do believe that for there are a significant number of people that at the actually walk that walk oh yeah but also most of the people who say they do I have not found that they actually do I know I've met people that do but I think I would agree with you on that one where a lot of people hear that and be like oh that sounds cool and then not actually like really think about the consequences while there are definitely people that have thought about the consequences and are just like yep totally I'm going to contribute to open source stuff we're going to do all these other things yeah I'm going to absolutely walk this walk and it just it is it is what it is is there a man oh how do we because like for software yeah you know open source is like the you know the solution like but I don't I don't think there's like an open source you know music open source movies solution you kind of get where I'm where I'm going with this like if you were if you're someone who believes fundamentally that software should all be free then there's like there's a path so they're just to all software being free it's kind of it's been kind of laid out we just have to we have to do it whereas like movies I don't I don't think there's a path to movies being free I don't know there's people that have started putting things up I know this this is a line that's going to get really interesting really fast but there's people that have been putting up people saying oh yeah public libraries it's a good one Creative Commons but how do you distribute well I think who's going to make them that that's more the issue like with with open source I think we've kind of solved the who's going to make it issue and we've solved how they're going to get paid it's going to be through support contracts major companies all right so that's how we're doing this and then but on the movie side who will make them and how will they be paid I don't I don't see yeah this is some people in chat are already saying the thing that I've been thinking about and this is going to become an interesting conversation fast like I just said previously but YouTube there's I don't remember it but there's a YouTube documentary that went up and did really well and they got approached by a few different larger companies including Netflix and some other ones to take that documentary make it exclusive to their paid subscription platform and they said no the reason why they said no was because they thought they would have better flexibility and potentially financials by staying on YouTube because of I think it was a great feature on interesting so it was crowdfunding what are we going to do how do you how do you start you have to you have to start in that realm by by design like from the yeah and it's tough and it's and I do man there was a people stay subscribed for the three years it takes you to make your next documentary that's I think that's tough it's very tough and and we'll you will YouTube continue to inchify to the point where it's it's it's going to become a major problem like like I I came across a really interesting thread on the LTT subreddit this week just about how crap YouTube's getting and we actually we did this last week but I think it bears doing again this is my YouTube homepage there is yeah an ad live stream live stream two live streams five shorts a row of shorts which like don't if they don't even autoplay the whole thing they just stop you have to click them you have it's it's by design you know it's by design then we get what another live stream an ad a vaude the first vaude oh my god YouTube playables these ai slop garbage games so out of my first two pages so I'm below the fold already one vaude it is I will say it is kind of somewhat based YouTube that the one vaude that you got is like a really small video because part of YouTube is discoverability and all that kind of stuff but it's it's one why is it why is it one okay let's keep going I mean I haven't I haven't prepped this right below the fold again okay here we go a Boston Dynamics video that's pretty popular Jurassic Park but with a cat a ShortCircuit video okay we got three vots another row of shorts another live stream another live stream another ad a 10 year old video from what 13 years old but yeah sure who's counting we got electro boom in here okay so we get a few vots another live stream another fireplace please tell me that's not the same fireplace no it's a different fireplace sorry one second can we look at that video real quick Virginia traffic attorney Luke J. Nichols dot MOV from 13 years ago I mean it's got four and a half million views oh it's an ad it must have been used as an ad this is he's just talking about his practice totally it must have so it's just an ad and it like it probably was an ad at some point it probably isn't an ad anymore because there's no way yeah this is clearly not parody though this is an actual ad for Virginia traffic attorney Luke J. Nichols dynamo v am I missing something here okay now I'm clicking it I must be missing something here I don't know how I found this video but I didn't expect to see outdoor boys your new job is way cooler than a traffic attorney wait that's outdoor boys okay that makes sense why they got so many views that is totally him what the heck okay got it I didn't recognize the name immediately that is incredibly random hilarious so what happens if I call this number you know let's not do that yeah that's not necessary we're not that kind of show but so how much farther and then this was sort of the conversation that some people were we're trying to have in the reddit thread but like how much more in verification is there for YouTube to go through I mean I do feel like this whole AI slop game thing might be the jump the shark moment it feels like it to me I think I rented about this last week but yeah YouTube really had to find their way I'm I am genuinely rather terrified because that was the answer right like that was the communities and your answer to how we're going to not have everything be major studio funded and we're going to have like indie be possible the answer is YouTube has been the bastion yes they've been the way for for small projects to survive and and fund themselves you know off platform on Patreon or even through YouTube directly but how is Vaude supposed to survive on YouTube when literally AI slop games are given better billing in the first two pages of the site then significantly better than Vaude videos yeah and when I say Vaude I don't mean that you know a lot of this other stuff isn't also technically video on demand but that's the way that YouTube refers to it is there's shorts there's Vaude's there's live so so Vaude that's like your traditional you know 16 by 9 YouTube upload that's meant to be watched on a on a screen that isn't vertical and isn't meant to be like you know played a game on AI slop junk and I don't know and obviously this you know affects me personally right because that's the majority of Linus media groups work is is Vaude and even though we do dabble in shorts I can tell you now that unless you're selling something through your shorts there's not there's not a sustainable amount of money to be made not at any kind of scale like I think as an individual person you could survive on shorts just kind of filming yourself or maybe even a couple people a few people small team but beyond that you're going to need to start to seek sponsorships you're going to need to start to sell something ran into a really cool shorts creator who became a shorts creator because of his like frozen dessert business as opposed to yeah there's a bunch of that around it's weird but yeah yeah we're like the ads we've the ads have become the content which is sort of wild that part's very interesting hey I think people I think there's some people out there who would make the same argument about us yeah it's it's that's again where your line is because some people see certain types of content as ads it also depends on their necessarily perception right like there is stuff that we do that I would say classified it could be classified as as advertisement like fully like we did a fully sponsored short on these like wave generator things we just put them in my hot tub and turned it into a whirlpool yeah no I mean we do actually really fair amount of things that are that are effectively ads we try to make them entertaining but they're effectively ads but there's a lot of people who consider like you know anything that we do building a computer to be an ad simply because those are things you can buy and it's like well no that's not actually how that works either line gets funky all right but my like I'm terrified for what's happening to YouTube thing actually has nothing to do with like my job or this place it's entirely just that like I don't know there's comments in in full plane chat of like oh YouTube YouTube can definitely I can't remember where it was I'm not going to find it sorry but YouTube can definitely get worse they've proven that before it's like yeah man I don't know I'm definitely on the like let's dog on YouTube chain I guess yeah but like I mean it's also pretty amazing and yeah there really isn't anything else there out there like it and I really don't think it's going to happen if YouTube goes down we're not going to get this back again you look at the incumbents what are they doing yeah just worse things than what YouTube's doing yeah and that's and that was with YouTube to be there as a guiding star and show them how to create a creator economy company like Twitter talked a good game for a while about you know more revenue sharing with creators and and this and that and then I think eventually their leadership figured out or that that's not happening or got distracted by something tick-tock I don't think bite dance has any intention of ever having a revenue sharing model like YouTube introduced I don't which has revenue sharing like pretty pretty decent revenue sharing I'd say that's like the other platform where creators can realistically like make enough money to sustain teams to build companies like come on are we talking about which being better than YouTube in 2026 oh no but this is my point though like and they've abandoned Vaude so Vaude is pretty functionally completely abandoned on Twitch I've had people who don't understand what Floatplane is say oh this is float planes opportunity no it is not we're not doing that it's not happening that will literally never happen it will never ever happen the only reason that YouTube works is because it operates at such a colossal scale that no amount of you know what Floatplane team super talented amazing leadership great job thanks man Peters and Peters in full plane chat right now saying yeah please no yeah we're good we're not doing that but a project of that scale no matter how I will say it right now and I don't mean this to be offensive to the Floatplane team in any way no no amount of venture capital money would make that viable but that has been proven already like if anyone was gonna do it it was basically gonna be Amazon yeah with adding Vaude to Twitch and then yeah they don't work there anymore it's probably fine I'm not gonna name them but I have talked to Twitch people who during that segment of time were like we are going to lose we were never going to win this is a failed idea their moat is astronomically bigger than everyone thinks and no one will ever touch YouTube and that like almost it's been too many years to say that verbatim but like it's close like they there was there's no chance and that's still kind of true unless they remove the moat themselves the only real rocket on it they're cooking inside the building and my my concern is that threat inside the building is too much you sound scared I am kind of scared the like the future of online knowledge sharing with YouTube brought into its core is dark like I you look at like so many different ways and there's some there's people talking about how they're there stopping using social media and all these different things are happening and like there's there's goodness in that but the sad part of that is that YouTube was often take that dear God the call is coming from inside the house because YouTube threat from yeah it's pretty good that's pretty good I was so confused looking at my phone is like did you get spoofed or something yeah it's okay all right gravity cube asks it's just concerning but why is it not feasible I understand money but what is the part that is so expensive okay so uploading for free is fucking insane for one thing that's that's the start like the whole uploading for free only made sense at the beginning because investment funding burning money user acquisition period it was it was the mid 2000s slash sort of late 2000s and I mean even well into the 2010s that was the Silicon Valley model you just burned investor money and then you acquired many many many many users and then usually you exited to a much larger company who figured out how to make money off of it eventually or just kind of didn't and continued to burn money and just acquire users see twitch as an example that was just the model but what happened to the vast majority of other you know free to use free to upload free to download services like you know let's let's look at Dropbox as an example Dropbox you know made no sense how much they were giving away for free in the early days eventually they had to look at it and go oh my god this doesn't make any sense and they had to build like a viable business model yeah and now Dropbox is popularity is they were like dude they were like basically everywhere yeah cloud storage yeah at the time you know in the early days and now it's like yeah Dropbox I don't know what did you did you fail to pay do you know did you get cut off by let's see you know Google one it is one drive interesting that they're I cloud their tagline is registered users I believe it so like that whole that whole model never made any sense except YouTube YouTube has somehow has somehow made it work so we would have to find and the somehow right is they got bought by Google who continued to throw money into the money furnace until such point as they were able to extract enough data that they were able to leverage it to make enough on that data that they were able to turn it into a self-sustaining machine without the deep deep deep ad business that Google has without the way that they leverage user data to make money in their advertising business I just don't see how it could be done and you can look at other examples of of strong advertising companies I'd say Facebook would probably be the closest thing at this point Meta Meta tried and I don't think Vaude has ever really taken off on Meta short form they have a lot form for sure but Meta's model is also so different like you I know like literally one creator that does well on Facebook Vaude and and I know there are some other creators that do they have some demographics but it's really it's not YouTube and it's very very very far from being YouTube and then the other side of it so Google figured out how to bring in enough revenue to make it make sense but then they also had to figure out how to scale up their infrastructure to make it affordable and I don't know if you guys have noticed this but Moore's law and like the way that storage you know costs per terabyte are going like it you can't just count on your next data center to be twice as fast have twice as much storage and cost half as much as the last one you built anymore the the large scale corporate entities are up against the exact same challenges that we are when we go to build a new gaming PC and realize oh my god this thing like costs the same or more is not that much faster than my old one you know what maybe I'll just keep my five-year-old gaming PC because realistically a five-year-old gaming PC today is still going to play anything you'd want to play and you have it already you don't have to you don't have to buy a new one I mean they have oh man they have when when you're operating at that scale your power and your cooling become major concerns and you might have to upgrade just from like an efficiency standpoint but in terms of like performance and especially storage we did a video a while back that was I forget exactly what we called it but it basically laid out the case for why oh what was it YouTube made a made a controversial move it was something to do with YouTube premium is this the skip ad thing no I think it was like resolution I think it was the resolution thing like why 4k should be a premium feature something like that yeah thank you in Floatplane chat where we basically showed how how the cost per gig of storage used to go down very rapidly very rapidly god rapidly and then just like stopped yeah and meanwhile more and more people are carrying around 4k video cameras in their pockets all while the storage doesn't get cheaper the way that it used to so the only way to make it affordable is to just what I don't know there's no magic it's not like Google gets magic hard drives that don't cost money yeah so apparently the answer is this all right oh my god now that I've watched one video yeah now now all wow this is crazy amazing huh YouTube playables wow I'm sure glad this exists 48 million plays with that said I don't know you know no one has ever known what does number means yeah we all kind of trust YouTube to be somewhat consistent in their application of that number whether it's views or streams or plays but I actually sent them an email to my to my rep the other day that I you know I was really confused by let me see if I can find it yeah here it is so let me let me fire this let me fire this over to you Dan share nice noise oh my god where's teams in my share menu why is it not here oh they changed the icon recently that's right there it is just once why would I want to always share to the same app just stupid interface thing I am finally daily in the fold seven just in time for the triple to come out and I absolutely love it so far that it definitely has some issues but it's pretty awesome this is terrible what's up maybe it's better on a phone I'm trying to play one of these I'm trying to play that game that had 48 million plays oh here sure oh it's like so all of your movement it's interesting this works on YouTube but all of your movement is I see my mouse there's this like touch pad spot which is it means you know it's almost certainly just made for a mobile phone so that's probably a big part of the problem but I am a unhearable ninja as far as I can tell I get cash immediately this probably counts as another play clicking next level yeah yeah probably I can get firearms I don't have enough money for any of this cool good game design they can't hear me so I just walk near them and they get shanked even if they see me for a second doesn't really matter I could probably just speedrun all this by just running into them wow I did it this is the game why has this been played 48 million times I do suspect it's because every single time you load a level it's probably counts as the game being played again well that's the thing is like how how do things count do do do do do do do do do no all right sweet okay I think that's probably enough of that sure so I so I sent this screenshot yep go ahead down over to my YouTube rep and I was basically like okay I'm trying to understand what's going on here it seems like this brand is buying views against this video so you can actually see it on the left there that's my my left circle I hadn't switched to a fold phone yet so this was the interface I was dealing with and I wanted to send just one screenshot because I don't know whatever I did so on the left you can see the stair step of where the brand like ran an advertising campaign to buy views for this video right yeah so it got a lot of views but you can see the watch time is relatively tanked basically negligible like not just not just doesn't track in lockstep with the views because I would fully expect that a purchased view a viewer might not stick around for as long right as someone who they might stick around for five seconds comes across the content organically right oh okay well she should message me then I didn't get a message from her sorry to interrupt yeah yeah no all good okay well okay no right right right right right no I know how that one works I can just send that to her okay fine I'm doing it I'm doing it I'm doing it now yeah no she did she did not message me so I don't know there I sent it so basically my my so my question to the YouTube rep was like look I understand that how a view is counted is sort of the secret sauce YouTube doesn't share the criteria but is it maybe possible for me to at least understand how something like this can happen curiously there's been a small uptick in subscribers that seems to correspond to the the campaign that's being run really how do you get new views new subscribers but functionally zero new watch time hi Linus just getting back to you yep since they're running it as an ad it's not surprising people will be watching for far shorter than usual and I said yeah I get that I'm just wondering why that quality you can take it away done why that quality is as a view it would seem like you know organically if people were finding this organically but what is very clear to me is that view that doesn't necessarily have a set definition because I cannot I don't think I've ever in my 18 years of uploading to YouTube ever seen a video it's very strange that tracked that far off for watch time and for views which is clearly just people clicking skip ad clearly yeah like very clearly yeah but at the end of the day right I noticed this as well by the way I was trying to talk to somebody about how viewership on YouTube is like it like mind-blowingly spiky these days and how sometimes it's kind of surprising because I thought that video was pretty good and I went to bring up that video as an example and I was like whoa okay I was trying to point out that it had lower than views and I would expect and I was like what the heck so I went on this huge tangent where I was like bring up the dashboard trying to figure out what the heck was going on and then I saw those charts and was just like okay well it's pretty obvious what happened yeah but nobody actually watched it except a few people did because they subscribed to the channel unless there's like whole bot networks snake eating its own tail kind of that will watch that will go out of their way to watch ads and then subscribe or something bot network views this feels like it was YouTube ad views oh that I don't know probably but no what I'm saying is no no what if there's bot networks that are designed to watch the ad content and subscribe to it to seem like legitimate users so that those bot accounts can be reused later or whatever like I could yeah like they're just farming new bot accounts or something I look I don't I don't piggybacking on a system that exists to try to legitimize themselves in some way interesting and you know what it's not the most egregious sort of abuse of of metrics to make advertisers feel like they're getting something for their money that I've ever seen I remember my old boss at NCIX not Taren not the owner of the company Jack I remember him explaining to me how magazines and newspapers managed to sell their advertising for so much money and it blew my mind at the time because you know to me a techie guy for whom one megahertz is one megahertz and nothing more nothing less right to have something so emotional be sold and then bought by somebody was just inconceivable right but he's like yeah so you got to understand that on the internet you know an ad view is an ad view by and large but with magazines they would actually have like a multiplier so first they would assume that every single magazine that was sold to a person who viewed every single ad in it but then they assume it's left on a coffee table or whatever else oh my god and I think the multiplier you know depending on the yeah depending on the the the publication could be 2x or even 5x and these are just like assumptions that would be kind of like hidden in the in the footnotes of the sales deck but that's wild yeah right to a certain limited degree sure but it's there's no way it's as high as they were saying no I mean it's no way it was even one yeah like if we're being real like what what happened to an unsold magazine it didn't get read by three people come on also not every single thing in the entire magazine is read and back when magazines were a thing it was very common to be like oh yeah I read front page and page eight and that's it every time I don't read anything else so actually back in those days I didn't know that many people that would read the whole thing I don't think I knew anybody so anyways I mean there are certain magazines that the articles were the only thing that I was interested in mm-hmm mm-hmm for sure yes it's important to note as well everything else was unnecessary filler mm-hmm and I would I would sometimes there was filler on them and I would make sure I would check every page I would check every page to verify if it was in fact filler and and I would look closely to be sure that I knew that it was certainly filler sometimes I might spend more time on those pages verifying that they were filler yes yes anyways topic to the RAM shortage oh is here to stay likely resulting in raised prices on PCs and phones ah yes thank you International Data Corporation IDC for verifying what everyone else I think has known for a while IDC market analysis finds that because memory makers like Micron, Samsung and SK Hynex are shifting supply to AI data center stock is tightening for everyday devices and companies that compete on low price with budget products are getting hit hardest and are responding by raising prices or cutting features Apple and Samsung have secured their supply early as if that's going to stop them from raising prices but PC makers like Dell, HP, Acer, etc. are already signaling price increases as memory costs climb so yes it's another ramp up rampocalypse topic but there are a couple of new things that that make this not like what we've seen before so first something that we have seen before Valve discontinued the least expensive Steam Deck this was the $400 LCD model that was sometimes on sale for as little as $350 it has been quietly discontinued and quietly all of the remaining stock was snapped up so now the cheapest Steam Deck I believe is the OLED hold on a second I'm trying to find it uh oh my search here is not fine is it in the dockered oh yeah here it is so now the most affordable option is the 512 gig OLED version for $550 oh man the Steam Deck was so the affordability of the Steam Deck was such a game changer like for PC gaming and to be clear I have hope that affordable Steam Deck will return it's just that you can't do anything about your supplier cost and I don't think it's fair to I don't think Valve wants to do this at all I don't think it's fair yeah exactly to be mad at Valve over their incoming supply over their sourcing costs going up a lot to be clear I like to often point out their 30% take and how they're not quite the benevolent gods that people say they are pretty freaking cool they're quite based often but the way that Valve has approached gambling for instance the way that Valve just kind of takes their take and imperfect algorithmic etc and you know not standing up to payment processors around us just being allowed to spend our money however we like which should be the way that it works Valve is not perfect however this is one of the ways that they've actually been super cool for a long time is they're really not they understand the model if we're gonna sell you this thing and it's gonna have our store on it and you're gonna buy our games and that's great therefore the thing doesn't have to be too expensive and they've been keeping stuff like the Steam Deck like really cheap for a long time and I don't think there's a shift here where they're like oh RAM prices are up we can loot people now which is I'm for sure happening I'm for sure that's happening at some companies somewhere and I really don't think it's happening so basically we're not bootlicking Valve we're just trying to make sure that our anger right now is directed at the correct sources and we're gonna start having like fancy restaurant pricing for things where it just says like market price on everything and the market price is just dictated by RAM I feel like that's something that I did not get across very well last week when I was trying to talk about the sort of perspective shift so that whole conversation went up on LMG Clips and a lot of people were extremely mad about it in fairness I did not open the conversation very tactfully but the point I was trying to... If I can interject for a moment What you're referring to as tactless was in fact tactless plus I think part of the problem is that you script think out loud I've been thinking about this since you mentioned it before the show and I think that was Linus script thinking out loud which is where you kind of start with this dramatic position Oh, I see and then you distill it and you research it and you massage it into a well thought out argument that ends up being a script and you script thunk out loud on WAN Show and people were like, oh! A lot of people didn't watch that far into the clip I can tell you that much but basically what I was trying to get across and so a lot of the comments are about how well, you got to understand that housing is way more expensive and health care is way more expensive we have a lot of American viewers and food is way more expensive and computers are way more expensive and I guess what I was trying to get across last week is if for the last... I mean realistically the whole thing kind of goes back to sometime in the 70s when when wages just completely decoupled from corporate earnings because they track pretty close up until like 70s, 80s I wonder what happened back then I don't know, who knows, no one knows but they track pretty close up until then and then they just completely decoupled from each other and I guess the point that I was trying to make last week is like if you've been having the shit kicked out of you for 50 years by housing and food and shelter, sorry, housing and food and utilities and essentials That's happening right now too energy prices are going through the roof and clothing and then all that time gaming has been there for you with a full retail game being $60 somehow in spite of everything else going like this and computers have been there for you like this, while everything else has gone like this and flat screen TVs have been there for you like this, while everything else has gone like this and flat screens are still there for some reason somehow I guess what I was trying to get across last week was that, yes, this RAM pricing blip really sucks, especially if you have to buy some RAM right now but compared to the absolute beating that all of these other essentials have been dishing out it still hasn't even remotely kept up with how much everything else has gone up and it sucks and especially the reason sucks like the fact that it's just so that we can have more AI that I don't think anyone, especially in this community is really asking for Yeah, a massive amount of the output that I see from those systems is junk that no one wants so if we didn't just make all the junk that no one wants this probably wouldn't be happening legitimately So yeah, I guess what I was trying to get across is like guys, the fact that we can still buy a Steam Deck for $550 that's a lot worse than $400 which is how much we could buy it for a week ago for how much value and how much entertainment and how much we can extract from that Steam Deck for $550 All I was trying to say is hey, let's not be super mad at Valve about this You can be mad about the situation You should be mad about the situation Like dude, I was reading about how much the big food lobby has engaged with the current administration to defang the good parts of the Make America Healthy Again initiative And it's been unprecedented They're all spending at rates that are at least decade long highs in some cases all-time highs to just defang all this stuff You should totally be mad You should be super mad right now There's honestly too many things to be mad about But I do feel like in some ways and this is what I was talking about with the perspective adjustment I feel like in some ways our passion for gaming and our passion for technology is making it so that we are more angry at this thing that that we love than at the things that have actually been beating the sh** out of us far more in a much longer period of time I don't think I did a great job of explaining that But I was trying to be more positive I was trying to be a little more positive And you know what, it's funny because there was a time probably about I don't know, six, seven years ago I'll stop It's so dead That's when it becomes fun I am that old guy Did you just dab? Nice I can't even do it properly There we go See, now it's fun Now it's fun I can't even do it right Okay, anyway There was somewhere between Totally fake Arthur and the whole plane chat It's mods banned them Somewhere between five and eight years ago There you go We were really leaning into more negativity in our content More anger at the stagnation in silicon improvements more rants And Yvonne actually sat me down and was like, okay, listen Is that good for anybody? Does that help anybody? Does that help anybody get a better deal on their next computer? Does that help anybody feel more positive about the system that they're building to play games? Can you find a positive side? And I kind of went, okay, yeah Yeah, I think I can Excuse me The Steam Summer Sale is still there for us There's so many games that come out these days that do not have high system requirements And I know I know that there's a large extremely vocal part of the community that is very angry about new games having high system requirements that can't be run without upscaling or frame generation or whatever else And it's like Whoa, whoa, whoa You could probably count on your fingers and toes those releases Whereas every week Steam gets flooded with many games that are a lot of fun to play that you don't have to do any of that for You can play on a 10 year old Linux computer It's a very interesting tone shift because of how much people liked Crisis I know, I know It was practically impossible to run and it was like fun trying to see if you could and stuff like that But okay, you know what? I think that is such a critical point that you've landed on there because why are people yelling at me over on LMG clips? Why are people yelling at Hey, hold on Hold on, hold on Why are people yelling at game developers for building games that demand the fastest computers? Why are people angry at all of these places that didn't create the problem? Well, it's because of that passion That's exactly what I was talking about So back then they didn't have to the same degree that it's there now all these external stressors Oh yeah, yeah, yeah that are impeding on their ability to It was so much easier to just live to splurge on a new GPU or that could make it so you could aspire to one day owning a system that could run it It's the hopelessness that is actually caused by all these other factors I mean, when was the last time on WAN Show? Think about it The last time we talked about a technology industry hiring wave Who is our f***ing audience? Yeah, early It would have been early Covid It happened, it would have been early Covid Something that I think is interesting just on this topic we started this company in your garage That was a normal thing for companies with low amounts of money to do back then Most people don't have garages anymore If now that would have been a privileged position which is nuts Even then it was a privileged position I remember Yvonne and I shopping for our house and pushing ourselves for a detached house There are cheaper detached houses that have garages And that was with her I mean, yes but also not by as much as you might think We were already in the burbs We already, it wasn't like a large house by those standards It was older It was old when we bought it but not like cool you know, heritage Not retro It was just old And so we almost bought like a row home Yeah That was what was kind of comfortable and then we pushed ourselves hard and you've got to remember that I am married to someone who I don't think really clued in to how exceptional she is until I finally did it I think I got through to her We were in the Costco parking lot We were walking into the store and I I was like, yeah I always like knew but I never really thought about how insane it is that you got hired as the manager of a Costco pharmacy at 23 That is f***ing insane Just graduated Major corporation Straight to manager Super high hiring standards Straight to managing a department with functionally no experience I mean, she had some pharmacy work experience from her practicum and I think she had like a years experience half a years experience or something working at Save On in the pharmacy there and she went straight to managing a department and I was like, I was thinking about it because I don't think we've ever seen and no offense to the many, many very talented people who work for Allied Atlantis Media Group I don't think we have ever seen anyone who's walked in at 23 and we've gone, holy s*** We will hire this person to manage a team of 15 to 20 people immediately and she was like, oh yeah I never really thought about that before and I was like, yeah, okay, have I finally gotten through So anyway, the point that I was getting at here is that was with the benefit of her working as a pharmacy manager, which is not normal for our cohort I should not have been married to someone that was making six figures I also dropped out and got extremely I worked hard and I like to think that I'm also not stupid right, but I got pretty lucky not everyone who took an entry level job at NCIX advanced to senior management in four years or whatever, five years or whatever it was I do think you're making all this comparison, which is all fair but your house that house was more expensive and the location makes it way more expensive if we're looking at like the North America's as a whole, it was relatively common to have a garage available to start your company at that year So okay, I was looking at it from like a Vancouver market perspective you're looking at it from a North America culturally for people who would have watched the video for the largest demographic of people that would have watched the video in Vancouver, even then a garage was crazy and it was because Yvonne and I just like teamed up and life together hard from 18, which is also not normal I look back and I go, if I had to solo it for some period of years instead of having a partner everything would have been way harder absolutely everything Yeah, fair enough But yeah, no, and now I mean, there are still places that are cheap every once in a while just like I'll jump on to a real estate listing site and you'll find like a detached home that's you look at and you go, yeah, I couldn't even I couldn't even buy like an empty lot in like Chilliwack for that It's priced knowing that you're going to have to somehow get rid of all the material that is the current house No, no, no, no, no, no, no in some parts of the states and stuff where you can buy a whole house that you can live in tomorrow for less than what you'd pay for an empty lot in Chilliwack I've walked through places around here that seem like they're nicely priced and then as you're walking through it the wood in the floor is so rotten and moldy that you're concerned you're going to fall through the floor and there's just like doom and treachery around every corner It's can get pretty sketch on the cheaper end What are we supposed to be talking about? Oh, right Are they, have they figured things out? They have, it's working I have verified it's working It's working! So I'll go through the flow, so if you go on the lttstore.com site you can click on this banner, which says View Video on YouTube The video is... Banner, I hardly know her The video is unlisted, so you're probably going to have to find it through the site but if you go to the unlisted video that you can click on the banner on the store to get to you can then see these screwdrivers which say they're a certain cost but maybe don't worry about that cost and then you click on it then you add it to cart and then when you get there it's discounted, there's two of them here it's discounted Okay, there were two I was like... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Okay, cool, yep, that was a little freak out that I had on That's how it works, is the flow weird? Yes Yes Does it work? Also yes, double yes Yeah, yes, yes Yeah, it's going to look like it's not working, there is a point that you get to in this flow that feels strange I'm going to point it out You click on, so let me go back, you're on the video, you scroll down you click on the thing, it shows this price here you click on the thing, you get there and I don't see anything going on you know, I don't see any discounts or anything Well there's a thing down below It says here, but this price which is what 99% of people are just going to see they're not going to read anything else looks like that, if you click add to cart and then go to your cart now it's correct Yeah, now it's correct because I have gone into my cart to see it, so you got to have some follow through it's like a golf swing or something ever compare your sales pipeline to a golf swing Can't say I've ever compared anything to golf in any way Oh Nice What now, huh? So yeah, they're the same screwdrivers you know and love just dressed in some very fun, very nostalgic Y2K clear tech colors Prismagic series, that discount that Luke showed you, the 20% off that we've teamed up with YouTube shop to offer is from December 26th to 30th Don't wait, also we've got a bunch of other cool stuff that you can check out on the store right now, if you've ever seen our Lumafield CT scanner video this might look a little familiar, it's inspired by the see-through scans that we get when we put products in the machine, cool right? That is cool So we've got, what all do we have on here we have someone wearing a Vision Pro Oh, right behind the mic, right there we've got a CPU There it is These are actual scans out of the Lumafield scanner we've got a little Bredsaurus plastic toy, we've got a screwdriver in there I think there's a, yep there's a game controllers you can see like the rumble motors and stuff um and it's just kind of a cool all over print hoodie that if people don't look that closely at they might not even realize that it's like a whole bunch of, a whole bunch of tech and stuff um LMG.GG slash all over print, you can check that out there and, and but wait, there's more! It's finally here It's finally here the first party bit case from LTTstore.com there it is ladies and gentlemen 7, 8 7, 8 30, holds 30 bits but stop it stop it, they didn't even see you do that they can't even see you right now he's over here, he's over here dabbing again just stop it um anyway the point is it closes with a magnet and it has one of those little key things so you can throw a magnetic cable management power bar holder on it and then you can just like stick it to stuff and and, but wait there's more it's been 83 years but we finally have posidrive for our european friends this is one of those things where a lot of people don't even realize that there is a difference and they just grab a phillips bit when the screw is actually posidrive and then they wonder why it's slipping or getting stripped turns out, wrong bit we now have posidrive bits for when you actually need posidrive bits which is more often than you might realize ikea for instance, i believe uses posidrive so you can shop both the LTT screwdriver bit case and the posidrive bits ggslash posibitcase that is a horrible vanity url um pozibitcase anyway what page not found it was there hold on what just happened no, not that no, no, i know but it went it went, i'm so confused see okay, well we should probably deal with that whatever, it's probably on the home page please tell me it's on the home page yeah, there it is okay, nice posi underscore bit case good enough we'll figure it out drop table employees asks why bit holder 30 bits such a missed opportunity to make it 32 bit i know, right it was the exact same thing with the um with this one too i wanted to make the the precision bit set i wanted to make it 64 bit but it just ended up working out better to be 60 bit so, i'm sorry, i'm sorry and i will do better next time next time, that'll be the sequel to both of them so lots of good stuff on the store this week great time to you know, pick up the christmas present that you didn't get we actually, it's now become consistent, i've noticed that there is a spike on christmas day even if we don't have any promos running of just like people expected a thing, and they're just like still sitting on the couch and like yeah, or people spending christmas money so it's one of the two but it's 100% a thing that makes sense, i just haven't received christmas money in a long time yep that makes sense great, Dan, what are we supposed to be doing? alright, we're supposed to explain merch messages so, if you're new to wandshow welcome hey thanks for hanging out with us on the wandshow if you're new, then the way to interact with the show is not to throw money at your screen, we're really not that into that um, frankly you know, i'm doing pretty okay he's doing pretty okay that doesn't mean that we don't like making money and there are other people that work here we do, and that's our jobs, and that's their jobs and uh, you know yeah, that's cool but what we also like a lot is working hard for that money we really do we so we so often choose the hard path yeah so instead of just having you throw money at us through twitch bits or whatever the youtube ones are called or anything like that we create what we feel are really amazing products and we have you guys buy those products and then you can send a message to the show like that and then even if we don't get to your message um, you still get high quality merchandise in the mail it's a pretty good system so, why don't we show you guys how it works um, you go ahead and you go on to the site you add something to your cart and when you're in your cart, Luke's working on it he's working on it, he's cooking let him cook you go ahead and add something to your cart and when we're live, you will see I meant to click the arrow to go to the next one yeah, sure, full pitch transparency mode nice um, okay, there you go merch message, so you write a little message that will go to producer Dan there he is, stop it do it right no I like this stop it no, we're just going, no, forget it stop it that will go to producer Dan try again there it is I'm so triggered right now who will put your merch message on the screen like that one that's up there, Tina V what's up or who will reply to it or who will curate it for me and Luke to respond to, why don't we show you guys with a couple curated messages how that works sure, I got one here from Josh hey, Linny, Louis and Glenn, saying hi from Toronto Toronto what do you think is the most pressing issue tech is facing but doesn't get much media attention brain roughification of social media perhaps there's a decent amount of attention on that that is probably the biggest single problem nope, nope let's say the biggest single problem is perverse incentives okay, so he just he just went one step down he went to the root yeah, they asked what the biggest problem it's a good move but it's arguable that that's the biggest problem with everything yes yes perverse incentives, they're a huge problem I mean, we talk about it from like a management perspective often, like creating KPIs for people that incentivize completely the wrong behaviors that are destructive to themselves, their department the entire company that just like can seem well-intentioned at the time, like you could create an incentive for someone to you know, I don't know, reply to the most emails, right, or you know what a great example, Linus Torvald called out you know, a super visionary tech leader for valuing lines of code oh man, there was a lot of points in that video, I watched the whole thing there was a lot of points in that video where I felt very validated about different stances, that was very much one of them well, I specifically brought that up on your behalf you were like, there's a particular member and I was like, yeah! it was great and so and by creating, theoretically right, like on the very very very top crust of the earth surface the crust is very thin relative to the depth of the earth okay, that seems like it could be a good idea you want your developers to like, code a lot right? sure, yeah sure, passes the initial person should be doing work, what is work? typy typy, I want lots of typy typy, yeah exactly but if you were to think about it for longer than about 4 seconds you might think, oh wait, quantity is probably not the most beneficial thing to this person, career development maybe an extremely valuable one of the keys that they could typy typy is backspace or delete yeah, who knows and so and so if you think about it you know, you're creating an incentive for potentially slapdash shoddy inefficient work and so perverse incentives exist everywhere and you know, right now I think that in gaming for instance gamers have created a reward system for developers that rewards forever live service gotcha embedded ads expensive loot boxes roster packs, pay to win and it is human nature to get a reward and repeat that behavior and the only difference now is that we're doing it on an industrial scale you know, I think that the new business funding machine has created perverse incentives to target infinite exponential growth because that's where they get their reward from and that's where we get bizarre behavior like buying all of the memory in the world for an entire year pretty much, Nomad I mean, we were talking a lot about piracy earlier in the show I think that by in some cases, pirating online media we can create perverse incentives for ever more intrusive advertising and paywalls and monetization structures because people expect to be paid for their work which is wild crazy right but I think if people had continued to not become immune to banner ads or block them we might not have ended up with say something do you remember that audio clip? I will never forget it what? man, what is that? I don't even remember what it was for deeply ingrained in my brain but I don't remember what it's for from but I know it's like a thing that I've heard it was a banner ad for something I don't remember what it was but it was an audio banner ad and it was the most obnoxious one I would oh my god, my speakers are on sometimes you'd have to find it and and yeah and it's one of those things where on the subject of ad block I never said don't do it I've even showed people how to do it but what I did say was consider the outcomes every action we take has consequences and if you want quality media that you enjoy if you want quality writing that you like to read then you may consider that those things need financial support to exist or you may not but then just you know when we're in the dystopian AI slop future just you know understand that we all me, him even him we all had a part to play in this outcome and this is really really important okay so put down your keyboards one moment please this is really really important we might have ended up there anyway we might have ended up with the intrusive ads we might have ended up with AI slop all the things and human jobs being cut we might have ended up there anyway because corporate greed truly knows no limits but but we might not have and we'll never know now yeah so that's cool I think it's somewhat true but also if the incentives are the opposite where like if you don't support things that do that the corporate greed will follow where the incentives are corporate greed is a guarantee but if we provided incentives to build high quality products for instance then the corporate greed would follow that but we provide incentives to build disposable the cheapest possible thing and you know that's why oh boy that's why North American manufacturing was off-shored I find it funny that you moved away from the mic is if you're trying to like dodge off-shored I mean if I can talk at them maybe they can yell at me through it you can make speakers be microphones can you make microphones be speakers um yes I think so I think if you did it hard enough probably I don't know that they'd be loud but yeah people are saying yes you can yeah alright so then it could happen or ruin the mic I don't think they're concerned about that so um so this is one of those things that it's like we have no further to look than you know in the mirror and I'm a participant every single time that I go to the dollar store to buy a barbeque scraper rather than buy one from smarter every day I think I've pointed this video out maybe a couple times on wancho but there is a video by speed like I show speed no this comes up every time um barbeque scraper man yep I love that that's like in some circles what he's known for now really yeah that is pretty interesting yeah right can I find this video he did a video on like buying uh like you know they don't make them how they used to is that true and it's actually very interesting if I can even find it which so far I can't speaking of perverse incentives, youtube titling and thumbnails we wouldn't do it I didn't even try to search for this because you know I'm not like oh this guy does clickbait it's just like it's a standard on the on the platform now right you like basically have to uh man where is I don't think it's that oni highkid says all incentives are perverse and degrade moral integrity when you make a decision based on only benefits you're not exercising your moral willpower and it will atrophy over time the starting point of any decision should be your own moral framework which is cool cool in theory it's great in theory welcome to companies and the second that you have a hundred mouths to feed um and you make it's not even just that the the standard state for companies is is corporate degree that's how companies work it's honestly at a certain level how they sort of have to I mean you don't even have to start there which is why I started with the second you have a hundred mouths to feed and pivoting your company in some way will be the difference between a christmas bonus and mass layoffs then I will ask I'll turn the question around on you and I'll ask which was the moral choice because the railroad tracks were your own personal integrity or all of your employees lined up tied down on the railroad track which switch do you pull it's not that simple but then there are also some layoffs that are super simple where it's like I don't know stock dollar number go up if fire large number of people and then I get new boat I choose boat I would say that's a super nice incentive yeah yeah a maria says line is taking gambling ads next year confirmed no we are very far from we are very far from that point um you know I do think that's an interesting that's an interesting line though I mean it's one of those things that I found it okay Luke hold on before you before you click that yes if Colton came to us and said basically you know the industry is getting hit super hard you know there's no there's no advertising coming in from tech companies because they can't sell anything anyway because you know literally like they can't get enough RAM to sell computers that have RAM in them hot take I think that's actually a really good decision for them to do but anyways um you know basically our revenue is going to be down by 30% we will have to let go of you know we have some buffer we're not an irresponsibly run company um and we have we have done it before and you know to an extent we'll do it again where we'll we'll cut profits in order to maintain headcount but we're going to lose 10% of our people we're going to lose 10% I have a solution we're going to work with draft kings or you know whatever and they'll basically pay us a guaranteed you know amount over the course of the year um would you rather cut 10% of your teams or would you rather take a gambling sponsorship and to be clear I'm not saying that you can tell he's agitated because chair shaking is doing the leg thing um it's a constant state but it ramps up when I'm when I'm agitated that's for sure yeah and this is all this is all easy for people to say it's it's all easy for people to take a stance on until it's someone they know personally right yeah uh you know good people good people because the reason why I'm saying good people is this is not one this is due to global market factors this this scenario you're laying out yeah is that it's not because of anyone's individual failure no we just have to cut heads yep and I mean look this is and this is a hard truth the head that we cut won't be mine I'm I'll I can absorb some of it but like it's not going to be like oh let's just like not have Linus anymore and let's keep everyone else like that's not happening I do think there's that like uh how the Nintendo executives dealt with Wii U is just like deeply based deeply but it also for those who didn't know Nintendo like slashed executive pay when the Wii U was a failure like pretty hard and they did not touch to my knowledge they did not touch I see individual contributor pay yeah trying to find this I forget the exact details but basically Nintendo was like hyper based when the Wii U this is an AI overview thing but this sounds accurate to my memory no I'm going to go find a source I don't care I'm trying to be fast because it's on the show but you guys are just going to have to wait while you're waiting for him it's funny 50% layoff for the CEO and 20 to 30% layoffs for pay cuts not layoffs sorry yeah 50% layoff for pay cuts oh my god why can't I say this properly 50% pay cut for Satoru Iwata and 20 to 30% reductions for other executives yeah super based based that being said you said 30% rev down I don't think that would solve well no it wouldn't because so even if we did that well no that's why I said 30% revenue down we would have to take a 10% pay cut because I'm assuming that we will absorb some of it oh yeah okay whatever but what I'm saying is we can absorb all of it so the choice is at 30% rev down I don't think we could even if we wanted to it's what I'm trying to oh yeah no we couldn't that's what I'm trying to communicate like it's not viable we could for honor's sake pull the and probably would I suspect in this case pull the Nintendo move but that would not pull us out of we're still screwed yeah we still have to do something like you said war chest blah blah blah and rev is not something a lot of companies can just like take on the chin and keep going this is like catastrophic yes yeah yeah like I can I can tell you now Linus Media Group Incorporated Floatplane Inc. Creator Warehouse Inc. do not have 30% net profit yeah so which is fine but a fact nonetheless but it is a fact and so if it came to that there is no well Linus should just make less outcome that is going to be acceptable doesn't resolve the problem yeah so I mean and look if you you could just say hey look I hope I never have to make this choice and I'm not gonna force you to answer the question no I think I have an answer my point was just that it's hard it's not black and white that was the point but if you think you have an answer I'm interested it's tough but I would talk to my teams I would just be super real about the situation that we're in and I think what I would do is yeah I don't know describe the situation describe the problem that we're in and maybe even end up oh man I would enthusiastically talk about the fact that we really don't want to do things like gambling sponsorships that it goes against the standards that we've set for ourselves yada yada yada yada yada but that there is no way that we have been able to find out of this scenario because again we're in the confines of this thought experiment yeah there is no other route because we're not we're not saying this is technical reality we're saying this is the confines of the thought experiment yeah the confines of the thought experiment is the only path out is either layoffs or ad sales this is not a reality eliminated every other option this is not a reality situation so I would talk to the people discuss potential solutions that we don't want to do the ad thing but if everyone is like hyper desperate and they're like look there literally are no jobs I will be homeless if this doesn't happen then we discuss as a team what that means for the current job market is like decently realistic could be realistic and people are talking across the board pay reductions okay so that's one of those things that's a great idea until it happens to you yeah so we discovered something many many years ago when we pretty much let me interject real quick if the whole group came to that conclusion that's one thing that is one they won't and that would be with leaders taking a higher pay cut etc but yeah I don't think they necessarily would we discovered years ago that running sweepstakes instead of creating one winner creates a million losers and it just it generates more negativity than any positivity out of it could possibly have been generated and in the same way that if we were to cut 10% of the workforce we'd be creating 10% low morale all people who don't work here anymore and if we cut the entire workforce by 10% we'd be generating the entire workforce low morale yeah and they would all still work here I think there is great I think there is technically a way out with the entire workforce reduction thing if the whole team the entire team sure rallies behind it and is like okay we will restore this if we get to whatever state la la la la la then cool I think that's extremely tough it's not going to happen already ScrappyDP is taking a stance that would be incompatible with us crawling our way out of this out of this whole you'll get 10% less work yeah I don't know like I said there are specific teams that could do this that could rally behind this banner and there are certain teams that would be unable to I don't know where we're at that's not even part of this conversation matter I can imagine companies though I can imagine states of different companies too where they would have been in a spot where that would be totally fine but I can also imagine companies where people would be like well I mean I'd rather leave and then it's like okay cool and then you kind of pivot to a position where it's like alright if we know we have to do this layoff thing let's do this as like a team and instead of just like blind siding people let's try to work with you try you can work here until this time let's work with you full time until then to try to help you get a spot things like that there are ways out to try to lessen the blow in this specific scenario where there is no other way out you're not doing it because of individual performance blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Crater says pay cuts plus company ownership percentage could maybe balance out part of the morale blow yeah the issue is that it just doesn't it just doesn't really work that way like it's um people ultimately are most impacted by the things that most impact them directly and that sounds like a kind of stupid unnecessary thing for me to have to say but it's it's the truth at the end of the day a whole bunch of people being miserable all at the same time in theory you know misery loves company and all of that but it doesn't actually make when we say misery loves company we don't say that it like makes them happier that everyone's miserable it just um is something to talk about you know and it can create a death spiral oh yeah I was going to say I always interpreted that statement differently I thought misery loves company is because people who are miserable will like radiate misery around them oh yeah yeah yeah 100% and um yeah I don't think we need to go like too much further into this weren't we're not the the mighty reptar said people are able to be so idealistic when they can just type in chat yeah it's tough I'm trying to like actually think about actually being in the scenario and you know emotions are going to end up getting really really high people are going to end up getting really really mad yeah fingers is going to happen almost immediately and here's the thing like remember the emotional response last week when I was talking about the perspective adjustment on RAM pricing at the end of the day most of the things we buy in a given year are not RAM and don't have RAM in them yeah um but this was something that you know especially if okay let's say because it's all about like like me right now how does this impact me for most people and that's human I'm not blaming anybody for that but if you are the person who has been saving up for two years to finally buy a gaming PC or a steam deck or whatever it is and you've just been you've had it yanked away from you it's like yeah grand scheme of things most things only have RAM as part of their cost so even if RAM goes up double or triple that didn't double or triple the overall price of the thing like like you know on numbers on a spreadsheet in a live chat you know it's it's not that impact for that person it's the difference between they can buy that thing that they've been dreaming of for two years and now they cannot and for some people a 10% pay cut could be the difference between surviving and not and so it's easy to say like oh yeah the team should just all agree on a 10% pay cut to weather the storm and not take you know gambling ads or whatever but I wouldn't even it's not like I wouldn't understand that one person who goes I cannot do that yeah totally reasonable but but Lea Kay in full playing chat said a while back my my company offered a 5% pay cut as an alternative to redundancy layoffs and it worked and then there's other people in here saying that morale at their company has been ruined because of a layoff that happened due to decreased revenue like there is this is a no actual good answer scenario there are a lot of those scenarios in life and realistically someone is going to be like possibly full on crash out level livid any answer that you come up with and you just have to try to work with people to do the best thing you can and that Sky PDP said it will depend on the organization totally it's going to depend on the group of people it's going to depend on how that group of people can band together to move past this it's going to depend on if that group of people even wants to that might be the core problem in the first place if we're being completely honest there's so many variables so many different things and it's a no win scenario hopefully reduced loss scenario are you saying a 10% pay cut could bankrupt your employees I don't know possibly I don't manage their finances no matter how much money you're making this is exactly what I'm going to say if you look up income and how much people are living paycheck to paycheck it almost doesn't matter people's expenses often will just track their income so at the time we bought this office we were I think our revenues were over a million dollars a year right but just because we had that much revenue if we had had a significant reduction in our revenue and we were still bringing in $700,000 a year or whatever that's still a lot of money but yeah that could have forced us into bankruptcy because we had so many bills dude Darimp said I'd happily take a 20% cut to go down to a 4 day work week one of the problems of this scenario is how are we going to fight our way back to competitiveness you got to be kidding me that doesn't work at that point they might as well just lay off yeah and so like buddy who's like you're going to get 10% less work it's like okay great so now well we're f***ed then because we're already struggling to compete because at the end of the day it is competition right like I do genuinely believe that my fellow tech YouTubers I don't see them as bitter rival competitors because I do think that a rising tide lifts all ships but in the grand scheme of things the much bigger picture your ship has to be floating to go up at the time your eyeballs have a limited amount of stuff they can look at every day so we do compete with the Super Bowl we compete with that you know romantic kindle that is waiting on your kindle we do we we compete with your family you know we compete with functionally every single thing that you do for you wanting to hang with us on a Friday and do WAN Show instead of boxing day shopping or doing whatever else it is that you might want to be doing today right yeah and so if we are failing to meet target and failing to meet payroll people you know cutting their output by 10% sure as f**k isn't going to fix it like very unlikely we could probably find some efficiency gains in this case as well if this person doesn't have any ownership stake and just doesn't really care about the company they're at or whatever totally fair yeah get it we're not trying to say it's necessarily unreasonable but it's also not going to write the ship that and there's a these are uncomfortable conversations because there's no win right and much like the where's your line with piracy conversation that we had earlier everyone's going to have a different line of what's okay here which is why line was don't reduce my pay ever in any circumstance ever I will go somewhere else or reduce my output and that's fine and someone else is going to have a different line and if your team has a wild variety of different lines they will this is going to be tough I don't think it's a guarantee that they will I think there are teams out there usually smaller teams but I think there are teams out there that are that's the one that are somewhat in line with how they think and approach things all right time to speaking of teams let's talk about the flow plane team we're going to do an early release of a very special LTT video and we're going to do it right now okay hold on what's the special LTT video hold on I'm trying to find the stupid CMS button there it is excuse me um okay I don't actually see it I think it's supposed to be oh wow there's a bunch of videos here control F for Kindle oh hey there it is my son wanted a Kindle so I made him test them all this is it folks this is the future potentially it's up it's posted I'm very I'm excited to watch this I'm very interested what people think the very first video not just hosted because he's been on camera before but actually written by Linus jr and I gotta say the link in the dock was directly to the video why did you even look for it look you're talking to the same guy that managed to accidentally filter gmail addresses from his email so Dell partner laptop that kind of show yeah did you leak anything by going through all those posts by the way no I don't think so okay that's cool I mean they're just videos that are coming by but yeah yeah what doesn't matter yeah I don't know I don't know what's coming down the pipeline maybe there's embargo things maybe there isn't no no there's nothing embargo okay cool yeah should be fine nice good to know but yeah dude so cool he he told me he was you know he's become more interested in the family business over time and and he told me he wanted to host a video because he had a lot of fun doing the I'll buy my son any gaming PC which was or any gaming handheld for his birthday one and that was I think his first time being on camera solo when he did like the interview portions of it and he was interested in it I basically went well look I'm not gonna just like nepotism you you don't just get to like run this company doesn't work like that the audience won't accept it the team won't accept it I won't accept it it doesn't work like I'll nepotism a shot but I will give him a shot exactly seems very reasonable to me and I basically said okay well I'll tell you what then no you can't just host a video because that's the easiest possible layup that I could give you we're not gonna do that but what you can do is if you will if you'll write it if you'll go through the process and I gotta give some credit to Mr. Nicholas Ploof for being kind of a mentor coach for Randy during this period you'll go through the process and your assignment will be the least glamorous thing that I can possibly think of you will make a video on the new Kindle and and and it wasn't just make that work it's a good it's a really good sign and it wasn't just it wasn't just that I was choosing like the most you know boring thing that I possibly could it was also something that I know that he has personal experience with he reads a lot and he reads physical books he reads on his phone using the Kindle app and he reads on a Kindle and so I was like okay well here's the new color soft here's a current gen paper white here's both of our old we have an old paper white and we have an old before it was paper white just like Kindle the same one I did a video on like 10 years ago I want I will lay out I should find the doc because I basically lay it out okay like you know what is good about it what is bad about it what do other people like what do I like what do other people not like what do I not like and I kind of laid out all the questions kind of like a school assignment and I kind of went if you answer all of these questions plus contribute any little insights that might spring into your mind as you go I think you will have enough bones for a good video that our talented writing team and I can help you get this over the line to a standard of quality that will be acceptable for LTT and he did a really good job nice like really good I'm genuinely excited to watch I'm going to spoil the best line in the video don't do that no I'm going to spoil it because I think no I think because that's how that's how previews work that's how modern media just tell people the best part but I asked him this as I was reviewing the script I went is this your line or was this like something ploof added and he goes no no yeah that was me and I asked ploof to I was like was this you he's like no I don't think so I didn't actually change that much and I went oh okay interesting and so in the conclusion he's talking about how the color soft is is pretty expensive and you know the colors aren't that vibrant but on the other hand going back to this you know holding up the black and white one for you know comics and manga and like like color media feels like watching a fireworks display on a black and white TV I was like that's really good that's a that's a good line right yeah why would even know I would even think about black and white TVs and the fireworks display the fireworks yeah why fireworks great line it's a great line what the heck right right huh and he doesn't seem like the type of person to just LLM it oh no so that's actually just his line I weird yeah cool but also strange that is such a succinct way it's great yeah it's like yeah you know it's not the most vibrant color but going back to this is like it's a generational gap in experience right writer dunked on by you and now I'm going to get writer dunked on by your son that's so annoying hahaha smart kid and anyway he did a really great job the hosting was pretty tough but what's fun about the hosting was I realized very early on in the coaching that I was doing with him that right I've been meaning to do this because I'll do little host coaching clinics once in a while we actually uploaded one of them that I did with tap and Ryan Schraut back when they were here for the Intel arc not an internal one but those guys yeah yeah and people responded really positively to like Linus hosting tips and so we're doing I asked our camera operator I think it was Andrew I asked him to roll the whole time and then I gave it over to Sammy to do a Floatplane exclusive of me basically coaching my son on how to host a video because he had no idea what he was doing Sammy said that extra will be up on Monday on full plane that's cool yep and it's funny because I don't realize how many little things there are until I watch someone try to do it and I'm just like okay hold on a second your emphasis words you're picking the wrong emphasis words here's how you choose an emphasis word and there's you know it's obviously still his first time but from the beginning of the video to the end of the video there was like a market change so if you're looking to improve your on-camera presentation skills or even in person presentation skills maybe check out strongly recommend it that's going to be an extra over on Floatplane so Sammy says on Monday that's cool just which is pretty and cool which pretty cool okay while we're over on Floatplane check out Luke week two yeah where we had three exclusive centering around two week I don't know does it say that yeah that's what it says in there okay well there's a Q&A video there's a 36 minute Q&A video there's a one hour long effectively podcast with Riley where we talk about AI stuff cool and then there is the the gaming video how a new studio made the multiplayer game of the year okay cool so you guys can check that out lots of Luke exclusives and then what else we got oh or maybe you want some more insights from this week's releases you can check out our closer look series where Alfred our film production manager and Jordan go over the new ShortCircuit with a set with facts that didn't make the final cut and some cut footage from Mitchell's AMD upgrade all this and our entire back catalog at LMG.gd.fp when I didn't watch them too much because it's Christmas week but you can get extras there for when you do watch them heck yeah there you go heck yeah views have been pretty slow this week yeah um but the last month we've actually been like pretty good pretty like solid like like we're back baby yeah but it's so volatile now it's crazy it's also crazy that I saw what was happening this week and was like that's probably fine yeah because that is not the reaction that would have happened before yeah which I don't know maybe that's healthy I don't necessarily think so though I don't know because you can't tell how rocky the ship is anymore yeah which is like not good man YouTube please uh oh okay time to talk to you guys about some sponsors the

four oh sure I'm supposed to do more sponsor spots the show is brought to you by AMD uh oh AMD asks that we just briefly talk about the worst gifts you've received for Christmas I mean as a little boy it was always clothes for me they were the worst oh I love getting socks well I know so I didn't no I didn't say socks I say socks okay just like my sock enjoyer too I don't know just like random sweatpants and shirts especially when it was nice clothes because I never wore nice clothes like people would try to give me like Sunday best they try to change your preferences based on gifts that's not a fun one and then I'm just like nope I feel like mine have always been pretty good I forget what it is my family's like pretty sick when it comes to presents I suspect the worst thing I've ever received has been like a book I already had like I am sorry I'm not a good target for this yeah I'd say like I probably notice it more like for my kids like we had a family function this year where a lot of care and attention went into certain individuals that were of the same relationship sort of tree to people that were not made for my kids and I don't think my kids noticed but I did that's cool that you didn't notice that's not very cool yeah but I'd say yeah I'd say that was more yeah it's not really like me at that point no I think the gifts that try to change you are probably the big one I got a wrench in a tackle box one year I was nine which you know for some nine-year-olds might have been sick might not have been in this case I guess I remember creating a Christmas list that was basically five video games that I wanted and then explicitly not receiving any video games from my parents who didn't like me playing video games and I was like right but like it would have been less irritating if they weren't so proud of the great choice they made and wanted me to be really excited about it when I was like we got you a new petticoat I want a gull of duty what I really wanted was Warcraft 2 I've definitely been I think this is a fairly standard in my household so I don't think I'm going off the wall here but normally Christmas lists are a highly respected fallback almost unless you say otherwise if you're like I really want this thing but Christmas list is usually like oh you didn't naturally without really much effort find anything therefore you can come to this list so if you go off the list it's like totally chill and off the list is fine as long as it isn't passive aggressively trying to change you totally it's a big part of that point yeah yeah yeah for sure which I don't think I've ever received one of those which is my whole thing where like I'm not I just I think I'm a bad target for this Mitchell our customer service wrap for LTD store got a sweet Christmas gift this year thanks to AMD he got a sick Akatsuki sure inspired computer setup with a Ryzen 9800 X3D as well as a new TV which was actually Forest Parents which is super nice and some cool

couple of Ugreen smart finders as well what does that mean it means that it means that it's fine it's fine it means that my sister has a baby it is what it is but I definitely found food that has been down there long enough to decompose a little but not long enough to be mummified which is what it is I've had babies too and when I had babies there were bits of food everywhere in my house too it's okay it's okay like soon alright we already did this topic I understand we did almost none of the topics yeah how that happened how does this always happen I'm effectively almost out of time how does it happen Luke to be fair I have seen zero complaints sometimes it just do be how the show work is anyone watching it though does anyone like the WAN Show huh we should just not have topics then yeah no one cares I think I can tell you guys to shut up and move on more if you want that's the opposite yeah Dan don't even suggest it we did it you did you know what I I got you I tracked how about you shut up and move on how about you shut up and move on I can't even merge messages okay what do we what do we want to do topics I guess well no here okay how about this how about this Dan do you have any curated merge messages that are specifically for Luke I have one if I remember correctly let's do that real quick Styles okay I need to quickly well you do that I'm going to talk about the North Korean infiltrator who was caught working in Amazon's IT department thanks to keystroke delay oh yeah Amazon says they caught a fake US based IT hire after noticing unusual keystroke lag on the employees work laptop which suggested the person wasn't actually working from the United States after investigating the company concluded the worker was based in North Korea and attempting to funnel money back to the regime through remote work according to Amazon's security chief the delay tipped them off that the laptop was being remotely controlled from overseas the company shut down the account after a few days and says it has blocked thousands of similar attempts in recent years often involving North Korean workers applying through US based contractors as proxies yep the discussion question is as remote work becomes more common how should companies balance trust privacy and security when monitoring employees what a great discussion question Dan go ahead and hit Luke with that merge message sure hi pirates DLL love the show my co-founder is about to become a dad Luke how did you handle Linus becoming a father with the toughest part and Linus what about people pirating your content yeah I don't know uh I don't I don't actually know necessarily what the first part of that question means like it's not what I think they assume that you are working together more closely and Linus became a dad and you know yeah I guess we didn't know each other that well like he hadn't moved in yet but uh me having a kid definitely impacted Luke more than most colleagues would I mean yeah Randy crying at night literally so loud literally kept Luke away so he was he was a difficult baby he's making it up to us now because he's a great loud speaker food powered loud speaker um I don't know dude uh there's a certain amount of things where it's just like was I gonna stop working with him over that no therefore is there really much left to think about I don't know and I'm not trying to be you know offensive to the to the person asking the question I just someone said why would Luke be affected I mean I technically was but like uh was it a bad way like this is something that Linus wanted he still worked hard and a lot I don't know there's there's people in around you will make decisions and do things in their lives that indirectly affect you to a certain degree and you just have to not care for the most part like it's or like find the good or decide if this thing that they have done is too far for you and then just detach Luke with the controversial live and let live take over yeah to be honest I can't believe how controversial that has become I guess live and let live is totally a thing and the world could use a little bit more of it and like yeah his room shared a wall with mine and he cried a lot and was really loud I also got really cheap rent and great food for free it was technically wasn't there yeah there was technically rent technically it like didn't cover the food let alone it didn't make any sense if I were to use 200 bucks a month and I got free food every meal insane and it was cooked by someone else I didn't even have to cook it his salary also wasn't much at that time because we just like did not have any money at that time yeah so you know but like but I also strapped in knowing that no idea how much of that was legal right oh not all of it definitely not all of it I think we were paying monthly at that time too I think so instead of bi-weekly I don't know yeah I mean again another thing where it's just like I can make a big deal over this or or I cannot which is an option yeah I don't know it is possible so yeah it affected me I got slightly worse sleep but I mean that's a constant throughout my entire life but he still got his decent computer on a regular cadence I did I did computer was good so that deal is still you know it's still alive yeah hey speaking of deal still being alive and the deal may be changing this is probably the last major topic that Luke needs to be here for but oh right how does Linus react to people pirating I think I remember the first time there was a torrent of scrapyard wars being pretty amused also there was some really annoying stuff at the beginning yeah there was some very trying to start a new incredibly small startup company thing and there was multiple attempts to just rip the whole thing off over and over and over again it was very frustrating so yeah I think it was a combination of feeling like we've made it because we're important enough for people to pirate but also being like yeah you know we're not like a giant media conglomerate really hard like pay developers and stuff like we're sick just didn't do this yeah yeah so both yeah okay so this is it this is the last when show in its current form oh really I have to leave now I thought you had to go in like 20 minutes and no like five oh awkward really sorry I thought I said the week after next week I meant next week from now we'll talk about it next week are you kidding me you just dated that no no we'll talk about it next week browser extensions oh my god find boom.me everything's gonna be fine everything's gonna be fine browser extensions we will miss you guys stop everything's gonna be fine everything's gonna be fine it's been a good run browser extensions are selling your conversations for advertising purposes several popular several popular browser extensions with more than 8 million total users have been caught collecting and selling full AI chat conversations according to security researchers at COI the biggest offenders include urban VPN proxy one click VPN proxy urban browser guard and urban ad blocker available on both the Chrome Web Store and Microsoft Edge add-ons together these extensions intercept conversations with chatbots even when VPN or ad blocking features are disabled despite advertising privacy and AI protections the extensions inject scripts that copy entire conversations and send them to servers that are tied to the developers where the data is used for marketing analytics the only way to stop the collection is to disable or uninstall the extensions entirely several of them were even marked as featured by Google and Microsoft raising questions about extension store oversight wow that's pretty rough did you do it on purpose no I thought we had like 20 minutes I asked you for a hard out and you said soon yeah that means like 8 to 12 months working here I'm currently messaging to make sure but like the original hard out was 1145 which is in 3 minutes now Google has closed compatibility for the Sega Dreamcast's 25 year old web browser killing it 4 people cried out in terror and then were silenced what I can't figure out is how they killed it what did they do, what changed I've looked up like a couple different articles on this I haven't done enough research but like what did Google do what caused this to happen Big G's services no longer respond but that doesn't mean that they killed the web browser I mean probably killed it a little yeah probably killed it a little there are still apparently fan supported search engine and game servers that do work on the Dreamcast which is pretty crazy our discussion question here is do you think it's important for modern web companies to maintain compatibility with like quarter century old devices what is an appropriate length of support about this right I don't think that either Luke or I is in the camp that whether it's a game developer or whether it's a service provider that you're obligated to support stuff forever that doesn't have an ongoing forever payment we just the part that we disagree about with the current way that the industry does things is that we think there should be a path to users maintaining it themselves if it's so important to them and this mostly applies I think to game servers for instance if there's a way for it to go self-hosted or to hand over the code to the community to continue to run it then we're totally fine with them saying hey yeah this is not financially viable anymore because businesses gotta survive um what what oh nothing you look like you're making a face so yeah downer but also I totally get it I don't think that I would fire up a dream cast tomorrow with the expectation that the web features would would work I think we what hello is the expected time still the same okay bye is chat asking you to try to push it or what no I was trying to figure it out because sometimes schedule things move and whatnot ah yes but and they weren't responding to messages I sent them quite a few ah yes probably driving or something really probably very reasonable yeah it makes sense but but not responding anyways um I called and now I know that I do have to leave cool good you know that's probably where I got noon from it's probably your arrival time not your departure time that's probably true so whoops I might have even just said noon at one point because that might have been what it was at one fact um there was also an arrival versus departure time and I missed my flight so that was cool I went down to Cabo for Christmas I decided I shouldn't say I Yvonne and I decided to do something absolutely crazy this year and we treated um my siblings and so's and kids and her sibling and so and kids to ah four days in Mexico for for Christmas so it was a pretty sick pretty incredible experience a lot of fun um as siblings we've we've all been like busy you know and it's it's easy to take family for granted but I think that um losing my sister uh really sharpened my focus on the the speed with which things that you assume that you've had your whole life and you assume will always be there can be stripped out of your life and so we um yeah so we kind of surprised everyone and we went hey guess what we're we're doing it let's let's do it we're doing something crazy and it was a lot of fun we we did it all inclusive just because when you've got like over a dozen people my god coordinating every stupid meal especially with young kids there's a lot of young kids so like uh no but I think you just run over and grab some food when they want it or whatever like cool makes life a lot easier we did go off resort once you got to go go yeah okay okay speaking of family and uh do you want to just call me to do the thing do what thing at the end oh yeah yeah sure okay sounds good all right cool see you later okay see ya anyway yeah we we went down we we did one cool excursion that was oh no just leave the thing no I don't I don't like it just framed on me I actually I I sent a note to one of the editors one of our one of our videos recently just had like too much zooming in on me I'm pushing 40 dude I we don't need to be zoomed that close in on me anymore this is a good this is a good framing I need to take more more Polaroid pictures you know well okay Dan's doing something here shoot I don't have the pictures on uh thank you for that Dan that's that's incredibly helpful I don't have the pictures on this phone I took along a separate um a separate phone for for pictures and videos and stuff because we're actually going to be uploading a like a family vlog from it um and we did this like turtle release thing here why don't you just be my co-host now we'll just drag you over there oh yeah you're good but you can just you can just move the window over there uh so yeah we did this um there's a there's a turtle conservation group that allows you to go and without disturbing anything like you're not allowed to touch the baby turtles and you're not allowed to interfere with them imprinting on the beach where they were born because they have to come back in order to okay that's an option too sure um anyway so it's like a conservation thing but you can do like uh you can do like a turtle release into the ocean thing so you hold a like born that day turtle in a bowl so you don't touch it so you don't hurt it and you don't get any bacteria on your hands and then you like tip the bowl and they and you watch them like crawl into the into the waves and they were saying that um thanks to the work that they're doing the survival rate goes from they estimate about one in a thousand reach adulthood in the wild to they say about six to seven in a thousand because they'll go out of their way to um to release them at times when there's not a lot of seagulls and they'll uh they kind of oversee it so they're less likely to get picked off on the way uh to the beach from the from the nest which is pretty cool did I just do it again for crying out loud um yeah that literally came up during the presentation before we did the release thing now that I think about it uh was some little kid who you are now on on par with in terms of your your joke quality um was like six seven everyone kind of went because it's over now it's a six seven party is officially completely over has been for six seven weeks at this point um lg is responding swiftly to user backlash will allow users to remove the microsoft copilot link from their tv's there's a whole topic that was written on this but I think that that's probably um all we need to say basically it's not a built-in tv app it is just a shortcut to microsoft's outlet web app that opens in the tv's browser and um sorry about that also the microphone input was only able to activate with explicit user consent we're not sure when you'll be able to delete it but it will be able to be deleted so that's good thank you lg for responding to the outrage in a way that is acceptable very nice very nice uh no no yes I know you can only hide it shraft 2k but they're changing that that's why we're bringing it up uh okay yeah this is something you know what let's push the reboot rewind update to next week we can do that sure okay next week yeah sorry I'm getting a lot of merge messages today uh yeah I know screwdrivers are very very popular for some reason well people really like they've been so excited for them people like screwing it's it's how the whole human race survived all these millennia that's true some yep they're kind of you know I've certainly read about that yep read the articles about it right and the economist um um why don't we just do merge messages ah you know what no let's go through this last one okay china's 10 cent gains access to the band NVIDIA blackwell b200 chips by leveraging a rental loophole in us export controls 10 cent is apparently accessing an NVIDIA's most advanced ai chips by renting computing power overseas rather than buying the hardware directly according to a financial times report the chips are housed in data centers in japan and australia and owned by a japanese company called data section which rents the gps to customers through long-term contracts this arrangement allows 10 cent to legally sidestep us export restrictions that block NVIDIA's top chips from being sold into china data section has signed more than 1.2 million dollars in contracts tied largely to 10 cent and now controls around 15 000 NVIDIA blackwell gpus rapidly turning the company into one of asia's largest so-called neocloud providers data section says demand is so high that even regulatory changes wouldn't hurt much as its CEO put it access to high end GPU capacity is a very sexy asset oh man yeah our discussion question is should companies be allowed to legally work around export controls by renting computing power overseas or do you feel this undermines the purpose of those restrictions i mean obviously it undermines the purpose of the restrictions but it just is the latest of many many many examples of times when legislation just doesn't move as fast as technological innovation and in some cases i end up being really glad that it doesn't but in other cases it's obvious that it is interfering with the abilities of governments to manage their their resources and i yeah i don't i don't know sort of if i'm rooting for them to be able to do that better so a lot of the time i really do think that it has been a benefit to the consumers but in other cases where the innovation is not a benefit to consumers like or i shouldn't say ai is not a benefit to consumers but where it is largely impacting consumers in a negative fashion with all the data harvesting and the you know encouragement to you know off themselves of users and the romantic entanglements and all the all the things that have not been properly studied about this ai rollout i do feel like legislation would move a little bit faster is there a reason that luke's photo is in black and white and everyone is saying rip luke in the chat Floatplane is asking for it i i don't know you do know that they are not your boss but they do funny things sometimes i mean they do definitely do funny things okay after pay respects Floatplane chat uh he's not dead he's at christmas di okay um cool good chat i mean it's true we love luke we do we do we do love luke um stop you're gonna make me think the stream's gone down why don't we do some merge messages sure we're going to when after dark let's do that although it just feels like when dark now uh let's see there's the button holy crap there's still a ton of incoming merge messages yes um it's been quite heavy today alright let's see what we've got here did we do this one yes we did hey dll asses last year so i'll ask again now what 2026 releases are you most looking forward to oh man if you'd asked me this like a month and a half ago right like i might have said oh yeah month and a half ago i'd have probably said steam frame because i'm just like i'm a vr nerd i'm really looking forward to um not having a tether i think it's gonna legitimately make me use it more like if i could just bring a dongle with me and play lighter vr games on like my strict halo laptop man how cool is that like i can like no no lighthouses to set up i don't know man it's flipping cool but i'm i'm deeply worried about what pricing is going to be like for the steam machine for the steam frame for basically anything that is going to be coming out in 2026 unless the bubble crashes um like i okay i think that video that we did uh where where david and i sort of reverse engineered what the pricing will be of the steam machine i think it's out i i think i think there's no way we got it right because we kind of assumed that the market had already priced in the lack of availability that was upcoming but it looks like that is not the case and things are going to continue to get worse server um we also haven't accounted for the potential price increases on GPU's like i didn't think it was going to be so bad that we weren't going to be able to get enough GDDR um oh speaking of which we haven't done our weekly b580 check guys seriously GPU's are going to go up if you can still get the home my god you can still get it if you need a GPU like a decent GPU right now go for it um i forget what our new egg affiliate link is Dan can you throw it in the chat oh i people also don't know no float planes already posting it oh they're so good it's LMG.gg slash new egg guys if you need a GPU you will thank me that you picked up a b580 before pricing went stupid because even though Intel is rumored to be announcing the b770 like at ces or sometime very soon um what i suspect is that they will build in the RAM shortage pricing to that new one and they may even make adjustments to the b570 and the b580 i don't know any of this for sure which is why i'm able to speculate on it without you know breaching any kind of nondisclosure agreement um but i strongly suspect that if you don't pick up this onyx lumie arc b580 with 12 gigs of GDDR 6 for 239 99 now with the Intel holiday bundle which is i remind you battlefield 6 pick one of battlefield 6 assassins creed shadows dying light the beast or sydmire civilization 7 you get this card with this amount of RAM for 240 us dollars and you get a full price triple a game you will not be finding a better deal i'm gonna say it next year i i really don't think so it's possible it's possible but i i really sincerely doubt it so now is a really good time to pick up one of these and uh and get a get a decent GPU for a decent price i mean what even is 12 gigs of RAM worth right now okay so let's go with like a somewhat equivalent you know what's 16 gigs of DDR5 so around 200 dollars right now for 16 gigs of RAM so you're getting 12 gigs of RAM which let's call 150 dollars right you're getting battlefield for which is let's call 50 bucks so 200 dollars you're basically paying 40 dollars for an arc b580 GPU okay crazy crazy there's no way that Intel can be making money on that die and those vrms and that cooler at that point like i just just do it someone says that was 2 by 16 yes and i did a really amazing thing where i took the price and i cut it in half to represent 16 gigs of RAM to be 200 dollars ish it was cool you did math on purpose? i know right hi binus book and ban i'm working on ownership of an amazon dsp and need advice on balancing employee care with managing razor thin margins in the early stages of the company hello from vegas oh it's hard man i don't think we've ever found the right balance and i think even if we found the right balance there would be people who don't agree we're finally doing it we're finally working on how does LMG spend money which people have asked for every single time we've done how does LMG make money and what i can tell you is that when we get down into the the details of you know yeah like how much of it goes to taxes how much of it goes to net profit for investment for next year for shareholder dividends when we get into these details i guarantee you that even though we are well under what many of the companies you don't hate take for profit there will be people who are mad about it there's going to be people that say well you should have done more there's people that would look at your question and say well you know you're the owner it should be 100% employee care and then there's going to be other people that you ask on the more business monster side that are going to say none of that matters outsource to cheaper labor and get your margins up right away or i don't know it's just like the conversation we had earlier where people are not going to agree on this everyone's going to have a completely different line oh wait there was one thing i was going to say an important part of it though is communication with your team laying out very clearly what the reward is and what it can be and then following through on that if you're asking people to make any kind of personal sacrifice okay sorry go ahead sure thing for Linus do you feel like you will ever find a phone that you will be happy with it seems like with each phone you find nitpicks or issues do you think having too many so many opportunities to upgrade effects i assume this no if anything i mean i think i probably upgrade my phone less than almost any other electronics youtuber who covers phones i try not to i really don't like it i mean i've used the note 9 for like 4 years or something like that or 3 years will i find one that i'm happy with i mean as long as designs continue to and no i don't think so because a lot of the direction of the mobile phone industry just runs counter to what i like and want out of my devices i'm pretty happy with this one but like i'm not going to lie and say that it didn't immediately stop folding completely flat like literally the second day i had it unless i you know give it the old you know over fold why why is that like why is that acceptable why is that normal the like i'm trying to think what else like some of the stuff that i encountered on the iPhone was just like it's just baffling to me that it's that it's not that it's not you know fixed oh man there's a video coming soon i actually was dailying an iphone air and then an iphone 17 and then i dabbled with the iphone 17 pro max over the last almost almost two months i think this is the longest i've been iphone in a while and there were some things that were really good really good and then there were also things that were just like infuriating so yeah nitpicks and issues no i think if anything it comes down to that it's my job to find things that are really good and find things that are not as good and i also tend to be a pretty busy person so i think i have a higher sensitivity to unnecessary interactions and an intuitive design than most people would because it's my job to get intimately familiar with the device really really quickly and especially when it doesn't follow that same companies established rules for interaction it just kind of drives me nuts because i do understand that a lot of products these days are just sort of designed by committee and there's these huge teams that oftentimes will barely even talk to each other but that doesn't mean that it will stop driving me crazy that you could have a flagship Android phone that for years didn't support a feature on youtube which is owned by google which androids also managed by google in this case it was youtube stories that just simply wasn't supported on it guys this is a software switch that you can just flip just enable stories on tablets or stop classifying this phone as a tablet do one of those two things and let the feature run free why are you maintaining two different versions of the app oh i do not have the pebble on right now i'm actually finally yes finally doing it it's either going to be ShortCircuit or it's going to be LTT but i'm trying a Garmin smartwatch so pebble i shot the ShortCircuit last week and then bell's been chasing me to do this Garmin one for quite a while hey Dan and the other two my question is how to reignite the passion for games it's hard to find the childlike wonder again i wonder if you have any tips to break the monotony hi from camloops like so many things it's all about people it's all about relationships humans are we're super complicated but we're also kind of simple right like we love novelty so if your hope was that you're going to recreate that um that experience that you'd never had before again it's not going to work like that so if what you loved about games was was novelty um that's going to be tougher to recreate but there's other levers you can pull there's nostalgia uh i had an absolute blast i put dozens and dozens of hours into this roguelite hockey game called tape to tape i haven't been playing it as much lately i should probably check in and see how it's going the developer super cool canadian surfers game um seemed really passionate and it reminded me of playing like an hlpa 93 uh but you know fun and modern and with kind of a new with a new twist on it um so you know nostalgia can be a really good one uh another great example of that is how many incredible like um pixel art like 16-bit pixel art games there are that sort of emulate the style of classics like final fantasy 6 chrono trigger um a couple that sort of stood out to me sea of stars seems like they were a really passionate team uh i quite enjoyed the game i didn't think it was quite as good as people kind of made it out to be it was a little shallow in terms of the gameplay and i won't say much about the story but i will say that there were just aspects of it that um you know whatever but the music is incredible the art is beautiful um it was absolutely worth a playthrough if you enjoy uh if you enjoy that that art style if you enjoy um that era of gaming another really good one this one i cannot recommend enough what a beautiful game so incredibly well written uh crosscode um radical fish i think is coming out with their next game like soon-ish uh but in the meantime you should definitely pick this up it is just an outstanding outstanding game uh and then what's what's the last one that i that i really really enjoyed um 16-bit pixel games bit bit bit bit oh man uh i'm trying to remember what it was there was another really good one that i played a little while ago where the the writing got kind of silly after a bit um but in like uh in like an anime way that a lot of people will probably like i can't remember well i will i'll have to i'll have to get that for you guys another time but it's like turn-based combat world exploration no no one's uh no one said it yet well anyway yeah so so yeah so nostalgia can be can be a really good way to kind of reignite the the passion finding something that is both new and and has reminders of old uh another really big one would be just people uh a huge part of what i enjoyed so much about playing tape to tape was socializing so using it as a way to connect with people whether they're part of your life now or whether they're people that used to be part of your life i'd say that gaming chain decos that's the one thanks crater chain decos also also really cool uh definitely enjoyed the combat of chain decos a little bit more than um than sea of stars i played them both like back to back around the same time chain decos is super cool how is this so cheap chain decos is 10 us dollars right now winter sale heck yeah steam being mean to everyone's wall it's yeah dude it's so good yeah it's really good anyway a couple more yeah connecting with people that that'll probably help get you get you back into it playing games with my kids is lots of fun although now that my son is so much better than me and my girls still aren't good enough to like compete it's hard to play like competitive games with them but it's still it's still great to just enjoy you know stories um also also with the wife we we played unravel too recently and we played uh it takes to a little while back people happy holidays tech gents love the new screwdrivers great for gifting what is one of your tech pet peeves workers smashing their mobile pay kiosks into my phone for tap to pay is mine cheers oh man a tech pet peeve i'd say the biggest one for me in my daily life has got to be password autofill that just like doesn't work that doesn't detect the right app or the right website like it it feels like it it works every time 75% of the time and when it works dude password autofill and pass keys oh man pass keys i was talking about this before the show pass keys are such a failed promise man like in theory they were supposed to make it so that i didn't have to do like passwords and two factor because the whole thing was supposed to be just like this thing that is on me that i have already authenticated i'm using and it this is my one factor my thing i have and then um the thing that i am is supposed to be the biometric authentication that was supposed to be it and i'm supposed to just automatically log into everything in practice i went to log into something that used a pass key before the before the show started and what is it so i have to enter i had to enter my password that i've memorized because it is my like single sign on one so i had to enter my password and then in order to authenticate that i had to um unlock my phone to so i had to click scan qr code i'm going to do it that way then i had to unlock my phone then i had to click it then i had to say what i was logging into then i had to biometrically authenticate again then i had to click yes and then it was like seven steps later i might as well have just typed an eight character password at that point it's ridiculous um so i'd say that's definitely more mine and the last one i have today question for Linus from a fellow motorcyclist have you written the Suzuki GSX 8S spiritual successor to your sv6 50 love seeing a live wancho merry christmas from scotland hey thanks merry christmas to you too scotland no i haven't this thing looks sick though like damn this thing looks awesome um oh look at that dang there's so many cool bikes i wish i was allowed to get a motorcycle my mommy says no um yeah wow this looks awesome no this had completely um this had completely flown under my radar oh here we go uh okay is it a v-twin or is it an inline does anyone know anyone beuler uh well i'll wait for i'll wait for someone to respond in chat but no that thing looks sick i haven't been on my i haven't been on my sv and we're coming up on like three years but the paint job is done but there's really bad news about the paint job um i don't think that my base color layer adhered properly to my primer layer on some of the parts and i think it's basically just gonna like crack off after a season or two which is uh deeply disheartening i you know i tried i tried to do my i tried to to learn the air sprayer and i i tried to learn all the coatings and i tried to have the right conditions and everything but i think i just got caught one day when maybe i didn't get the temperature right or maybe i didn't get the mix right and it just it just didn't adhere uh so some of the parts are fine to the point where they're like so hard to strip that i like destroyed a part once trying to strip paint off of it and redo it because i screwed up the uh the effect layer and then others are just like oh my god these are just gonna these are just gonna flake off so i think i'm probably only gonna get a couple of seasons out of it it was a fun learning experience and then i think next time around i've actually got uh i got a buddy who is into badminton and also runs a paint shop i'm just gonna be like hey danny uh this time can i just come into your shop and do like a couple hour session with you and maybe use your shop and maybe here's a few bucks or some free time at smash champs or something and let's work out a tit for tat and i'll maybe i'll just you know do something else let danny do it no that's no fun yeah that that's boring that's boring i want to ride around on a bike that i painted so maybe next time around will be a gsx 8s what what do these cost anyway oh i never i never check chat is it a v-twin or is an inline somebody in twitch had said
