WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.000
Hello? Oh, hi, Dan.

00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:10.000
Who dropped?

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:14.000
Was it me or you? You, I think.

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:18.000
Okay. Are we going to come back?

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:24.000
Yeah, there you are. Because if it was us that dropped, you would have kept streaming, right?

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:30.000
I thought I would have. I thought I kept streaming and just lost you guys.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.000
Okay. Cool. Oh, no.

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:36.000
All right, have fun. We back.

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.000
We're back. We're back. Okay, cool.

00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:42.000
That's pretty neat. Hey, guys. What's up?

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:46.000
Cool. So apparently the last thing they heard was zero users.

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:53.000
So long story short. Yeah, basically by cutting those people off who, in their mind,

00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:57.000
they were doing a favor to by allowing them to continue to use this service.

00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:03.000
They hadn't even acquired users for free. They were like being bros.

00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:06.000
I don't like how any of this went down.

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:11.000
The whole thing is like sucky. But that is more bad on the company that's sold.

00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.000
Yes. Versus the company that actually acquired the VPN.

00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:20.000
And I, it adds some nuance to the situation that,

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.000
I felt we should definitely follow up on. Oh yeah, that's fair.

00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:29.000
Yeah. All right, cool. This is unrelated to the topic, but if we want to correct things from last week,

00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:33.000
I have something to correct as well. Oh, what now? I had said this is important.

00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:38.000
Okay. Like I got to come true with the audience here.

00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.000
Come true. Okay. Is that not a phrase?

00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:44.000
Is that not a saying? So why don't you correct that phrase?

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:47.000
Is there something close to that? Be real.

00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:50.000
Maybe that's it. Come clean. Come clean.

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:53.000
Come clean. That's the one. Yeah.

00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:56.000
I got to come clean with the audience here. That's not how that works. The cleanup is after.

00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:59.000
Anyways. I lied last week. Did you?

00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:02.000
Yep. Not intentionally. But I did.

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:05.000
I did. I did. I did.

00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:08.000
I did. I did. I did.

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:11.000
I did. I did. I did.

00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:14.000
I did. I did. I did.

00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:17.000
Not intentionally. But I was wrong.

00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:20.000
Okay. I know. I was making fun of that.

00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.000
Dan, His isn't no thing. Yeah.

00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:26.000
I said that I had a character in FFX VI.

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:29.300
Oh. And I only thought I did.

00:02:29.300 --> 00:02:33.160
You thought you had a character. Because I've done some. So you don't have any characters?

00:02:33.160 --> 00:02:36.880
Are you high? The whole game is like that you have tons of characters.

00:02:36.880 --> 00:02:41.200
No, I don't even remember their name because I renamed them.

00:02:41.200 --> 00:02:49.740
Tara. There we go. Yeah, sure you imperial magitech. When do they talk about last names? How do you know their last name?

00:02:50.020 --> 00:02:56.320
Why would I not? I don't think I've ever seen their last name. Why do you think it's called in the whole game?

00:02:56.320 --> 00:03:01.680
Figaro Castle Okay, yeah, sure fair. So what do you think Edgar's last name is smart guy?

00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:08.000
Branford's castle. I Just when did they talk about her last name pathetic?

00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:14.040
Okay, well, I renamed some characters while I was playing literally don't yeah, just have to like

00:03:14.600 --> 00:03:20.320
Know the cannon. Okay, sure. It's like my favorite game of all time. So I just like know things like you okay

00:03:20.320 --> 00:03:24.680
Yeah, sure. Um, so I had renamed some characters. So when he asked me if I had

00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:32.280
Tara Tara, I thought I did but I had a different character. Okay. I did not have a character. Did you even have? I

00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:36.400
Don't sets her or something

00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:45.320
How could you possibly I didn't know the names how could you possibly think the old

00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:51.960
Bushido guy with a mustache. Oh is named Tara. That's not the old Bushido guy

00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:55.880
You're wrong about your own game the gambler. Sorry

00:03:59.640 --> 00:04:07.240
I only know that because that's one of the characters I didn't rename How could you possibly think the white haired gambler dude is named Tara?

00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:14.240
Honestly, I never ever had them in my party ever and I forgot anything about them at all

00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.940
And I had just gotten them iconic

00:04:18.440 --> 00:04:22.880
Oppressing and everything and like that. What do you mean? You just got him. No, you've got him in the world of balance

00:04:22.880 --> 00:04:26.480
Oh, no, no, I in the world of ruin. I had just gotten them

00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:32.280
Oh, and I never had them in my party ever. I can't believe I just brain farted

00:04:32.880 --> 00:04:42.480
Look before the show started, okay, I had to go back to my room to get my headphones. I

00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:51.280
literally Went up instead of down and then literally didn't realize it and tried my key card on someone else's room before I went

00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:57.200
Oh my god I'm on completely the wrong floor just to give you some idea of where my brain is

00:04:57.320 --> 00:05:01.320
Is it is that but yeah, I have Tara now, okay?

00:05:02.280 --> 00:05:07.640
Are you sure? Yeah, okay actually in the party hair white. I don't know

00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:14.960
How can you play? How can you look at characters for this long and not know what they look like?

00:05:14.960 --> 00:05:20.560
Do you even are you even playing the game? Are you just having an AI do it? I do it like it should count pink or something

00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:27.040
If he doesn't know what the main when you have her go trance, it's definitely like white and pink

00:05:33.280 --> 00:05:39.560
Okay, anyway, I know the blitzes, but I don't know the characters names or what they look like

00:05:41.640 --> 00:05:46.760
There you go, okay, I can like do the blitz inputs by memorization

00:05:46.760 --> 00:05:51.320
I love that I literally lent him a SNES controller to play this game

00:05:51.320 --> 00:05:54.360
So he could have the authentic experience and an adapter

00:05:54.360 --> 00:06:01.200
I went and he went and he took his hand he went I know the blitzes and you use the arrow keys. I played with the SNES controller at home a little bit

00:06:01.200 --> 00:06:08.240
I didn't want to take it traveling so I don't want to break it. It doesn't matter. That's cheap. You can also just not carry it

00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:11.720
That's fine. You can just play with your keyboard like a pleb

00:06:13.200 --> 00:06:17.360
Truthfully the first time I actually beat the game because I didn't beat it when I owned it as a kid

00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:24.320
I was a kid and I was too dumb And then I lost my super Nintendo when I moved between my parents houses. I didn't have it anymore

00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:28.760
And so the first time I actually beat the game was on Zed SNES on a computer

00:06:28.760 --> 00:06:37.440
So I 100% used a keyboard for that Yeah, it's not that bad. Oh, it's actually way easier to input the blitzes on a keyboard. I could see that

00:06:37.440 --> 00:06:45.680
Yeah, yeah For whatever reason like the most powerful ones are incredibly easy though. That's just like going a circle. That's a remaster thing

00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:51.480
Oh, and they're they're much harder on the controller. Okay. Yeah, like I said, they're they're really easy on a keyboard

00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:56.480
But one of them is literally just one way around the circle the other one's the other way around the circle

00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:03.760
Yeah, but if you if you get pressing it Or no, it's not the other way around the circle. It's just the continuation of the circle if you get pressing it wrong

00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:07.280
Like if you accidentally start at an angle instead

00:07:07.280 --> 00:07:12.400
It's it's a lot easier to screw up on like a d-pad that literally doesn't have diagonals, right?

00:07:12.400 --> 00:07:17.440
Right because it's just across d-pad. So you have to like you have to nail it

00:07:17.960 --> 00:07:25.240
And you'll screw it up for I have I have been annihilated because I like kind of screwed up a blitz and put the remaster really

00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:28.480
Screws up a lot of the balance of

00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:34.080
The original game like the the sword techs or whatever Bushido abilities

00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:39.560
They were called sword tech. That wasn't a brain fart on the original the Bushido abilities

00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:46.440
You can just use anyone you want now. It's like you had to wait before so if you were playing in the active battle mode

00:07:46.440 --> 00:07:53.840
You'd be like getting hit while you waited for him to like queue up quadra slice. Oh, yeah, so like I never really run him anyways

00:07:53.840 --> 00:07:57.760
I he sucks the the weird thing for me right now is I have way

00:07:58.880 --> 00:08:03.720
Harder of a time with like the random encounters that I do with bosses. I

00:08:05.080 --> 00:08:07.600
Wipe bosses like no problem

00:08:08.760 --> 00:08:13.520
Often like two three turns in done took very little damage if nothing

00:08:14.520 --> 00:08:20.080
And then I'll just die to random encounters by getting like one shot out of nowhere

00:08:21.080 --> 00:08:24.480
Like first move random encounter characters dead

00:08:27.440 --> 00:08:34.200
What and this is like happened multiple times have you considered that you may be a bad gamer I have I

00:08:34.920 --> 00:08:40.640
Have never lost to a boss in the game so far. Okay. I have party wiped multiple times

00:08:41.920 --> 00:08:47.920
Just like random encounter trash, which is so annoying because it's less likely that I saved recently

00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:56.320
Wild Alright, why don't we talk about the other cool thing in a separate case?

00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:02.040
The Hanover administrative court has confirmed a judgment stating that cookie banners must not

00:09:02.280 --> 00:09:08.520
Be designed to encourage users to consent and that website operators must offer a clearly visible

00:09:09.160 --> 00:09:16.800
Reject all button on the first level of cookie consent banners if the banner includes an accept all button

00:09:16.800 --> 00:09:19.320
That's huge for me. That's so cool

00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:27.440
The judgment came after lower Saxney's data protection officer demanded a redesign of a media company's cookie banner because it didn't obtain effective informed and voluntary

00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:30.440
Consent before setting cookies and processing personal information

00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:37.880
the company disagreed and claimed that the data protection authority was not responsible for monitoring illegal provisions concerning cookies the court found that

00:09:38.040 --> 00:09:43.240
Rejecting cookies on the banner in question was much more complicated than accepting them and that the banner used misleading wording such as

00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:48.520
Optimal user experience and accept and close while the term consent was completely missing

00:09:50.280 --> 00:09:52.440
That's super cool. It's just awesome

00:09:53.440 --> 00:10:01.400
Cuz like sometimes Man, there are so many bad cookies. Sometimes there are cookies that do enhance website experiences

00:10:01.400 --> 00:10:05.720
We would be no go ahead almost never do I care though?

00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:09.200
And I just reject everything but it's still but it's still

00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:15.040
This is so I love it. Yeah, that's great. I hate that. It's only gonna be in Germany. Yeah

00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:21.280
Yeah, but hopefully, you know these types of things hopefully they bleed out over time. Yeah, I hope so. I mean

00:10:22.520 --> 00:10:32.200
Apple is certainly doing Absolutely everything in their power to slow roll any of the the antitrust and regulatory stuff that's hit them over the last little bit man

00:10:33.040 --> 00:10:40.120
Fortnite is back on the app store and it's pretty crazy our discussion question for this topic is

00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:46.800
Is Apple the most childish corporation on the planet or does that award go to someone else because?

00:10:47.400 --> 00:10:57.200
Wow, have they ever engaged in some like peak-level malicious compliance over this whole third-party payment processors on the app store thing

00:10:57.240 --> 00:11:00.320
It's almost like the only reason they ever cared about any of it

00:11:00.640 --> 00:11:06.580
Was so that they wouldn't have to compete and they could take their enormous cut acting as the sole

00:11:07.420 --> 00:11:11.980
Monopolistic payment processor on this platform. I feel like there's got to be worse ones

00:11:11.980 --> 00:11:19.020
This is the one that's like most in our own. It's just hilarious. Yeah after Apple lost the court case regarding in-app third-party purchases

00:11:19.220 --> 00:11:21.780
Epic submitted for tonight for approval to the app store

00:11:22.620 --> 00:11:27.060
Apple this is so funny. This is so Apple too. Oh

00:11:27.620 --> 00:11:33.640
Man Apple refused to either accept or decline the application leaving it in limbo

00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:38.600
Because if they declined it well, then you know, they'd get in trouble, but like

00:11:39.560 --> 00:11:45.300
I don't know. Do we have to have to accept it? I mean we're like we're looking at it. I don't know

00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:54.320
US district judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers who by the way is an absolute chad from everything that I've seen about it

00:11:54.320 --> 00:12:00.560
Seems like it wrote in an order that Apple has to accept or decline the application and this is a quote

00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:05.880
Apple is fully capable of resolving this issue without further briefing or a hearing based

00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:12.640
Apple has since accepted the application and fortnight is now back on the app store huge

00:12:13.680 --> 00:12:15.840
for real though actually like

00:12:16.680 --> 00:12:24.600
Super okay. I feel like I always have to disclaim this right because not a fan of everything Tim Sweeney does all right

00:12:25.880 --> 00:12:34.440
but this Genuinely benefits every well, this was massive developer. Yeah for iOS. I'll also give them a show

00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:38.880
I don't like fortnight I think I played it one time ever and did not enjoy it and never played it again

00:12:38.880 --> 00:12:42.160
I mean in fairness fortnight changes a lot, so you might like it more now

00:12:42.160 --> 00:12:47.040
I think you're doing probably like see you type stuff where you can make all kinds of new game modes and stuff

00:12:47.040 --> 00:12:53.160
We have to look cool. Look the point is either way the point is be open-minded. Okay. Try anything twice

00:12:53.160 --> 00:13:04.000
It's it's currently number one in adventure games on the app store and already has over 20,000 ratings and has been up for like

00:13:05.280 --> 00:13:09.320
Days so clearly doing pretty well. Yes. Jim mesh says yes

00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:16.640
Sweeney is doing this for the future of games, which is like his company's future, you know, I think a lot of it is like

00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:25.200
Personal vendetta. We're just benefiting from it, which is great It's a huge win for everyone. Yeah, and realistically. He's one of the few

00:13:25.880 --> 00:13:31.800
Company leaders who has the money and not just the money, but the absolute

00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:37.360
Iron balls to do this. Yeah. Yeah, because Apple is a vindictive

00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:43.240
Company if you step out of line very NVIDIA ask they will never

00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:54.440
Engage with you again to NVIDIA's credit They actually do let bygones be bygones eventually they they we were we were black-balled for two years over the hard-run box thing

00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:59.080
Yeah, we'll see and we are officially on black-balled now. Ah, we could be black-balled again

00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:04.640
But I'm really wondering how much of it was just like clear the field before 5,000 series comes out

00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:11.640
And then who cares after no, I think it was more a specific person who was asked her. Yeah. Yeah

00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:15.360
That's that's we'll see how things go in the next like six months

00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:21.160
I'm reserving judgment until Yeah

00:14:22.400 --> 00:14:25.360
There's been some bad that I don't even think is

00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:31.840
Not super public yet. It's not mine to release. Oh, yeah. Oh, no. Oh, yeah

00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:34.480
Like real bad more

00:14:37.920 --> 00:14:45.400
Okay, why don't I talk about something good while he types that up steam OS moves one step closer to a wider release with a new update

00:14:45.520 --> 00:14:52.560
Valve has released steam OS 3.7 point 8 which comes with official support for third-party PC handhelds

00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:58.520
This is so cool So you could just go install it on your ally or your I a neo or whatever

00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:08.200
Along with a bevy of other upgrades This is the first version of the software to offer an official recovery image with explicit support for installation on devices with

00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:14.520
AMD hardware, okay, so not just anything just yet and an NVMe drive although valve does

00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:19.680
Specify that is targeted towards handheld devices and is not final so you can basically install it on like

00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:23.520
Whatever as long as you've got AMD hardware and an NVMe drive

00:15:23.640 --> 00:15:28.360
There's also explicit installation instructions for the Legion go and ROG ally

00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:32.520
Is it the year of the Linux desktop actually though this time?

00:15:33.040 --> 00:15:37.560
This is so cool other upgrades include new Mesa graphics drivers base

00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:41.080
Bluetooth might support in desktop mode still no gaming mode

00:15:41.560 --> 00:15:46.920
Battery management tools and the ability to turn a steam deck turn on a steam deck via a Bluetooth controller

00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:51.080
Which was previously only possible on the OLED so this is super cool

00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:55.720
If you have just like a steam machine in your living room remember and they used to call them steam machines

00:15:56.040 --> 00:16:01.280
So if you just have one as like a like a living room console, you can just use your Bluetooth controller to be like boop turn my steam

00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:08.800
I'm so excited I'm so excited and I'm excited for competition. Look at the way Microsoft has allegedly

00:16:09.520 --> 00:16:19.860
Woken up and is like, you know Allegedly partnering with ASUS on the ally to and you know trying to make Windows a better or like gaming platform like

00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:27.760
Basko conversation. It's always good. Yeah. Hell. Yeah, literally competition is always better than not competition

00:16:28.800 --> 00:16:36.840
I think if there's a time that competition was worse I guess if you had like a super fragmented market and then like like

00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:42.600
Okay, I think there's a there's probably a middle ground between businesses. There's a middle ground. No, no

00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:48.440
I'm even thinking businesses. Okay, so so imagine a world. Okay, you don't want there to be one bank or

00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:55.400
One insurance company because that's terrible because then there's no competition, but you also don't want there to be

00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:05.480
10,000 banks and 10,000 insurance companies because those will be very small companies and those types of institutions

00:17:06.040 --> 00:17:10.760
need scale in order to absorb the sometimes

00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:15.760
One-time large one-time losses that they can experience. There's a middle ground

00:17:15.760 --> 00:17:22.160
I think there's some debate there on the bank side of things. No, dude when you have like a thousand tiny banks

00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:30.400
It's much easier for there to be a bank run Because it can be in like a very localized when you have Omega banks. Well, that's no this is bad

00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:34.600
They cause recessions due to bad practices. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I'm saying

00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:38.360
I'm saying that more is not always better

00:17:38.760 --> 00:17:44.920
Sure, but you're not saying that infinite competition of infinite parties is good. You're saying that competition is always good

00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:49.320
Is that what I said? I don't remember my exact wording. You said competition is always good. I said it's always better

00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:54.520
Yeah, I think but that doesn't have to mean that there are thousands and thousands of players competing. Sure

00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:57.720
I'm just saying there's a middle ground of like

00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:03.560
Like like peak competition goodness. That's all I'm saying. I think we do this as a company

00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:06.040
I know I do this so I'm not trying to exclude myself

00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:12.120
I think sometimes we're like We get and this is why I say I don't know all the time. So I'm 100% on board with this

00:18:12.280 --> 00:18:18.920
We're so worried about people just taking crap that we say and twisting it that we run around in so many circles

00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:21.560
We're not saying that we end up losing the plot part went through

00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:29.000
Oh man, we're just saying black and red is a cool color combination. That's all

00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:36.360
That's all we we like it for gaming PCs who made their uniforms aren't they like still around hugo boss

00:18:36.600 --> 00:18:40.760
Yeah, and super famous. I don't want to get that wrong. I don't want to get that very fashionable

00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:45.960
Uh Nazi uniforms. I think it was hugo boss

00:18:47.320 --> 00:18:53.800
um Yes, hugo boss apologized for nazi past

00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:58.600
Uh, yeah, okay. Okay. Yep. There you go. Yeah, so hugo hugo boss. By the way

00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:01.000
Uh

00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:12.840
Really? Yeah, I saw it

00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:17.480
Like there's no belief here. I saw it. He showed me

00:19:19.560 --> 00:19:24.840
All right, he's gonna deal with it in his own way or whatever so I can they be actually that stupid

00:19:25.320 --> 00:19:29.960
I think is the question. But this is my like I don't know man. We'll see we'll see

00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:35.640
Over the next while when I was digging up all the times that we've criticized NVIDIA in the past

00:19:36.280 --> 00:19:38.840
I came across some stuff that I had forgotten about

00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:45.480
um, and one of them was the an LMG clip where I

00:19:46.360 --> 00:19:49.160
um, I basically came out and I was like

00:19:50.520 --> 00:19:53.000
I no longer believe they are playing 4d chess

00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:58.920
I believe very idiots um

00:20:02.120 --> 00:20:04.120
Past line is smart guy

00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:13.640
I beard I saw that Yeah, I saw that and genuinely like kind of laughed because it was just

00:20:15.320 --> 00:20:19.640
So dumb. Yeah. Yeah, and it yeah, yeah

00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:31.960
And like the timing of it. It's terrible. Holy dude. Um, hey more good news though. Yeah

00:20:32.520 --> 00:20:38.760
Remember that nas company that I invested in. Yeah, remember? Yeah, remember how people were like

00:20:39.800 --> 00:20:43.640
Hating on the launch and the comments were all like this is pointless

00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:51.560
No one would ever buy this if you're excited about this. You should feel bad Remember how they had a really really great launch and lots of people gave them a bunch of money

00:20:52.120 --> 00:20:56.280
Want to hear one of the cool things that they are already doing with that money. Yeah

00:20:57.560 --> 00:21:05.800
zfs any raid Sponsored by esh tech. So that's the the nas company that I made the small investment in

00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:10.520
um, this is so cool earlier this week, dude, I've

00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:16.920
I have wanted to talk about this so hard because I have known for a while

00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:24.600
Because they basically immediately when they're when their first couple days of sales were bonkers. They were like

00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:30.360
Oh my god, let's do something. There's opportunity now. There's stuff that we had on the roadmap for like

00:21:31.080 --> 00:21:37.720
Like the future that we could just Immediately start fixing because there's these projects that are just like

00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:43.960
Super cool, but just not funded so people can't work on them and we could just we could just do this cool stuff, dude

00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:53.880
Oh, I've wanted to talk about this Basically since they're freaked they freaking went out from cover whatever whatever blue cover whatever it's called when like

00:21:54.360 --> 00:22:00.360
Um, the when the when like a startup stops being stealth unstealth mode. Whatever. There's a term for it. Doesn't matter

00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:08.040
Yeah, the point is earlier this week esh tech the creators of xos investment disclosure introduced to the world

00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:13.720
Zfs any raid developed by clara ink sponsored by esh tech

00:22:14.280 --> 00:22:22.120
Zfs any raid will introduce two new pool layouts any raid mirror and any raid z1

00:22:22.760 --> 00:22:30.840
Any raid mirror will be available first and will ensure that all data will be written to two different discs in pools of more than two

00:22:30.840 --> 00:22:35.480
discs of differing sizes, so Um, this is a little bit out of order

00:22:35.560 --> 00:22:39.480
But the point is you can raid discs in zfs

00:22:39.560 --> 00:22:44.600
So so so raid z not like hardware raid like software raid z like zfs

00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:50.520
So you can you can create pools with differing discs and you were always able to do that

00:22:50.760 --> 00:22:54.520
But there would be a huge loss in total capacity

00:22:55.160 --> 00:23:03.720
You would basically go lowest common denominator. So if I had a 10 terabyte drive and a two terabyte drive and I

00:23:04.280 --> 00:23:12.040
Raid Z1 to them or whatever whatever. No, I think technically raid z1 is not a mirror even though it like kind of operates like a mirror

00:23:12.120 --> 00:23:15.480
If you just have two drives, don't worry about it. The point is if I used them

00:23:15.560 --> 00:23:23.080
I would get a total of four terabytes of usable capacity out of my 12 terabytes. That's not a great experience. No, so

00:23:24.280 --> 00:23:31.160
um Any raid z1 will take the same concept and and features as zfs raid z1

00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:35.640
So where you can lose any one drive and it will add support for mixed drive sizes

00:23:36.040 --> 00:23:40.520
Uh, this is so cool. So how much space can we gain? Here's some examples

00:23:40.840 --> 00:23:47.960
Okay, we have a pool with a four terabyte drive a six terabyte drive and an eight terabyte drive

00:23:48.280 --> 00:23:52.840
Okay, so we are this is some this is some mix and match here. All right

00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:58.600
Okay, check this out. Oh wait, I can't screen share Dan Dan. Can you show them the table?

00:23:58.600 --> 00:24:00.600
On it

00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:05.080
So in a in mirror, so this is a traditional mirror

00:24:05.800 --> 00:24:13.640
I can't see that any In a traditional mirror, uh, we would get 10 terabytes only out of our total

00:24:13.800 --> 00:24:22.280
What is this 12 plus 8 20 out of our 24 terabytes? That is that is an awful amount of storage to give up two parity

00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:25.400
Okay, in new any raid mirror

00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:29.880
We get 12 terabytes. Okay, that's not a lot more

00:24:30.120 --> 00:24:33.720
But if you can see on our table that Dan maybe has on the thing

00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:38.200
I can't tell you can see on our table that if we add a four terabyte drive

00:24:38.520 --> 00:24:43.320
We actually get half of the capacity whereas with the old mirror. There would be no change

00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:47.880
Okay, so a little bit exciting. Here's where things get really cool

00:24:48.520 --> 00:24:51.640
In raid z1 versus any raid z1

00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:59.880
Our pool capacity goes from literally half. Okay, 12 terabytes to 16 terabytes out of our initial 24

00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:05.160
And then if we add four terabytes, we get two and a half terabytes instead of

00:25:05.560 --> 00:25:09.000
Okay, actually that works out a little bit better on the end of one. The point is more

00:25:09.560 --> 00:25:14.520
The point is more When is it coming? Esh tech says they won't even say soon

00:25:14.760 --> 00:25:19.640
But they will keep the community updated as the project progresses and hits key milestones

00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:22.600
Key milestones. I am I am pretty

00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:25.400
I am pretty excited

00:25:28.200 --> 00:25:35.560
Getting more of your user space out of mishmash of drives is a very consumer friendly feature

00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:41.240
That has pretty much no benefit whatsoever to enterprise customers who are just always using matching drives

00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:46.120
Which is why this has never been worked on and just like how a lot of people were like, oh like

00:25:46.600 --> 00:25:52.840
As a homelab enthusiast, this isn't necessarily something that I would want. Sure. Um, cool. This caters to

00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:57.720
Not necessarily homelab enthusiasts as well where it's like, this is just what I've got

00:25:58.280 --> 00:26:02.840
And I want to make something out of it. Yeah, so this is in my opinion. This is a very like

00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:06.920
Informed thing for them to back early

00:26:08.360 --> 00:26:14.040
Super I think it makes a lot of sense super cool. It's for people who are just you know building their first jelly fin server

00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:22.280
Yeah, who are Who are who are got some old desktops that have been in the garage for a few years that have some drives in it

00:26:22.280 --> 00:26:26.840
Let me throw these in here and do what I can Super excited for this sick

00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:33.960
And I'm super excited to see them Taking that initial money that they got from their from their like

00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:38.840
alpha, you know, hey, trust us. We're gonna do cool stuff with this

00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:43.800
Uh, like launch and then actually doing cool stuff with it

00:26:44.120 --> 00:26:48.120
Just because I'm starting to see this already. No, we are not saying that nothing else can do this

00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:50.920
No, but zfs

00:26:52.760 --> 00:27:00.840
This was not a feature of Zfs and so that's what's really exciting is you get all the zfs goodness, but also makes a match

00:27:01.400 --> 00:27:11.160
It's just Awesome Awesome. Yes. I know drobo existed ages ago. That's not the point the point is and there's yeah other ones

00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:16.280
zfs one thing we have until your cutoff

00:27:16.280 --> 00:27:19.480
that you defined 18 minutes

00:27:19.480 --> 00:27:24.200
We have until your face 18 I'm good. Whenever I'm already checked out of the hotel. Um

00:27:25.080 --> 00:27:27.080
nerd, yeah

00:27:28.360 --> 00:27:33.640
And I was well, we can go a little longer we'll go a little longer. All right. I will we'll do our best

00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:40.440
We always do our best. Hey, do you want to do want to go through the um, the the computex roundup from someone not computex?

00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:46.600
Apparently it's supposed to be wacky stuff So Dan, do you want to just like pop them up on screen and sync with us? We'll go through an order

00:27:46.920 --> 00:27:49.560
Uh, yeah depends how fast you want the doctor

00:27:50.920 --> 00:27:52.920
All right, so I'm gonna click the first one

00:27:55.240 --> 00:28:03.960
It's a pulsar x knock to a mouse. Okay 100 I saw this and just thought someone was trolling with like ai models. I didn't think this was real

00:28:04.040 --> 00:28:08.120
Oh, yeah I saw it in person. It's real

00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:15.880
Are they actually gonna like sell these? Or was it a part of real? Do you not understand, sir? That therm will take

00:28:16.520 --> 00:28:19.320
Oil case thing. Yeah, they've had a different

00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:26.040
Dramatically different iteration of it every year. I don't know if that's ever gonna be for sale. It's I love going and seeing

00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:32.120
What they're currently doing. I don't know if they're ever gonna sell it We'll see

00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:36.120
It weighs about 20 grams more than the the regular

00:28:36.840 --> 00:28:43.400
um I forget what model of most this is uh fine fine men or something like that. Hold on

00:28:43.880 --> 00:28:48.360
Uh, yeah the fine men most um the the weight distribution

00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:55.240
Felt a little different to me as well. It's got a fan in it, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so it's probably yeah

00:28:55.240 --> 00:28:58.600
I feel a little bit. I definitely had some ideas for a v2 right now

00:28:58.600 --> 00:29:03.320
The fan is just on and I was like, oh, it'd be kind of cool if it had like a moisture sensor

00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:06.760
So that it only turns on if your hands are actually sweaty

00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:13.560
um Because sometimes I'm a pretty warm boy, but other times, you know in the middle of the night in particular

00:29:13.560 --> 00:29:17.240
I get to be a pretty cold boy. Yeah, pwm it basically, you know, there's like um

00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:23.960
The the single button that just cycles through no sensitivities. Uh, it may be controllable

00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:32.520
I'm not sure actually look It is controllable. Okay, so it's controllable, but it's always on. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, anyway, it's it's pretty cool

00:29:32.600 --> 00:29:38.280
It's pretty light. It's like 60 something grams. It's not bad considering. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah pretty cool. Okay next up

00:29:40.600 --> 00:29:42.600
3000 watt psus

00:29:43.880 --> 00:29:49.400
More than one brand was showing off power supplies that were 3000 watts or more

00:29:50.200 --> 00:29:53.240
Basically ai. All right, let's move on. Um

00:29:55.960 --> 00:30:01.640
Inwin unveiled whatever this is. Yeah, they say this case is trophy inspired

00:30:02.120 --> 00:30:09.480
It is over a meter tall and will support full-size 50 series GPU's. I should certainly hope so

00:30:10.360 --> 00:30:18.920
Imagine it didn't Yep in wind back with another signature case. They do that. They do that and um

00:30:19.880 --> 00:30:27.400
Apparently it weighs like 40 kilos or something like that. Nice. I don't I don't remember the number don't quote me on that but

00:30:28.040 --> 00:30:32.360
Apparently it weighs a lot. I was talking to someone from my team who saw this in person

00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:38.520
I didn't actually catch this Uh ShortCircuit the thermal rate frozen creator

00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:45.240
Okay, okay, this actually looks extremely legit

00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:52.600
Dude AMD strict's halo is I swear the coolest CPU

00:30:53.720 --> 00:31:01.720
In the last I don't know 10 years. I can't I can't think of anything cooler in that time frame. Yeah, uh, I get apples

00:31:01.800 --> 00:31:06.920
I'm silicon. It's really cool. But like on the pc space on the pc side, dude

00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:11.160
I interpreted that way. It is so cool. Like that is a gaming pc in alex's hand

00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:15.160
That is capable of like playing black myth mukong. Yeah

00:31:16.280 --> 00:31:23.960
And the fact that thermal rate is getting into pcs. I mean, obviously they know the cooling for pcs. So like why not?

00:31:25.800 --> 00:31:32.920
But this looks awesome Uh, oh, I don't know. I guess investment disclosure since framework also makes a strict halo thing

00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:38.040
Oh, okay, but like, uh, that's sure. Okay. I don't know the right way to handle this because that seems dumb

00:31:38.040 --> 00:31:43.000
Like why am I bringing up framework if all I'm saying is that something else looks awesome? No, it's good

00:31:43.880 --> 00:31:49.880
But yeah, it's good for framework. But is that actually good for the audience? I'm not 100 sure probably not

00:31:50.920 --> 00:31:52.920
But it's good for framework and it's the law

00:31:54.280 --> 00:31:56.280
Got them

00:31:57.960 --> 00:32:04.280
I love it you legally have to advertise for framework. I think that's hilarious. I genuinely think that's very funny

00:32:04.280 --> 00:32:06.280
I

00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:13.000
Like I That is thoroughly entertaining to me. Um

00:32:14.920 --> 00:32:18.840
In other news Hey

00:32:18.840 --> 00:32:22.760
Do you need a monitor on your CPU cooler? Um

00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:27.560
Because there's a lot of them Wait, is this real?

00:32:27.560 --> 00:32:32.520
The first one the first one's not real. I don't think so. It looks like a tablet. Uh for

00:32:32.840 --> 00:32:37.640
Is this real? This is the zygmatech one real

00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:41.880
Do you know Dan? No idea

00:32:41.880 --> 00:32:47.000
It slots into the zygmatech pump by sliding into what looks like an alien's shoulder socket

00:32:47.640 --> 00:32:56.120
Okay, apparently it's real Uh, I did not catch this that it. Wow that boy. That is something. Um, that makes

00:32:58.040 --> 00:33:01.320
Cooler masters and thermal takes look downright reasonable

00:33:02.120 --> 00:33:07.720
um Lee and lee also has a curved display on their aio check this out

00:33:09.720 --> 00:33:11.720
I don't

00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:15.640
Hey sequel to the all-screen pc let's go

00:33:16.360 --> 00:33:24.440
I guess I just I think the yeah, I don't know. I don't want to be I don't want to be too negative after spending a significant part of the show

00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:29.560
Talking about how we need to be more positive, but stuff like that makes me feel like we're running out of ideas

00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:37.880
I mean Maybe it's just not for me. Didn't all of computer x kind of feel like we're running out of ideas. It sure did

00:33:38.360 --> 00:33:41.400
it was this was

00:33:41.400 --> 00:33:46.680
Knock twist booth was super cool. Um, they're evaporative thermo siphon cooler

00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:53.960
um If it performs anywhere near like what they think they can achieve it will be a remarkable piece of kit

00:33:54.600 --> 00:33:57.320
Um at a astronomical price probably

00:33:57.800 --> 00:34:00.920
um So like there's some innovation there

00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:03.000
um

00:34:06.360 --> 00:34:08.760
Seasonic I liked

00:34:10.680 --> 00:34:15.560
But like basically they're just like fixing someone else's problem, you know, so

00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:23.640
It's hard to get excited about that Uh, oh this card no one can afford won't blow up anymore if I add this thing

00:34:24.680 --> 00:34:30.280
That isn't out yet. Yeah, um cool ASUS has an ergonomic keyboard

00:34:31.640 --> 00:34:39.240
With a split in the middle Okay, that is not an ergonomic keyboard. That is just a keyboard that separates in the middle

00:34:39.880 --> 00:34:45.000
But I think people do still categorize that as ergonomic really because of your shoulder rotation

00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:51.320
Okay. Yeah, all right. So it's not ergonomic in all ways, but it's ergonomic for your shoulder rotation

00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:55.960
Uh keyboards like this have existed for a long time. There was many of them at the show

00:34:56.440 --> 00:35:04.680
I'll allow it Um, the silver stone retro case is legitimately cool. Okay. This was actually cool, but it's not a new idea. That's for sure

00:35:05.640 --> 00:35:08.200
Specifically an old one. It looks sick though

00:35:09.080 --> 00:35:12.840
Uh I genuinely really like it

00:35:12.840 --> 00:35:20.760
Yeah, and unlike the first gen one it gave more thought to like cooling and putting modern hardware in it and stuff

00:35:21.560 --> 00:35:27.960
Like you can you can really put a top-of-the-line gaming machine in this and build a sleeper without doing any of the actual

00:35:28.760 --> 00:35:35.240
Fabrication work of building a sleeper. This looks amazing. I wonder if this would be a theft deterrent

00:35:36.280 --> 00:35:39.160
Like if you did up if you'd like did up your setup

00:35:39.640 --> 00:35:47.000
like retro style and put like like if you like 3d printed like a bigger bezel on your monitor and like

00:35:47.640 --> 00:35:54.440
Used uh used like like beige keycaps on like a sick mechanical keyboard and like like if you did it up

00:35:55.160 --> 00:36:02.680
Would anybody steal it that? Okay, hold on a second. Hold on a second. Could there be a way for us to like

00:36:03.400 --> 00:36:11.160
Social experiment this can you like? You know how like bait cars they can kind of like bait people into trying to steal them bait a whole computer

00:36:11.320 --> 00:36:18.040
Bait a house Because someone would have to like go into it and then we have to like see if they take the computer

00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:21.880
Work with mark robert

00:36:23.720 --> 00:36:27.080
Like is that a thing there's got to be a youtube channel that like does this

00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:31.400
Well mark robert did the porch pirate thing for years. Well, yeah

00:36:33.400 --> 00:36:38.280
That's porch pirating though. I mean not every porch pirate is just gonna like weigh significantly more common

00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:44.760
Yeah I have no idea. I think baiting someone to break into a house is

00:36:45.560 --> 00:36:52.760
probably Pretty hard to predict gilmore d in Floatplane chat says whoever did that bait would be a master

00:36:55.560 --> 00:36:59.400
All right on that note um

00:36:59.400 --> 00:37:05.640
PC world scented thermal paste our question from the writer is would elijah eat this? Yeah

00:37:05.880 --> 00:37:07.880
Uh

00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:16.120
I feel like if you if you paid him like 20 bucks, I think you'd send it scented thermal paste

00:37:17.000 --> 00:37:22.840
Wow Uh, we're definitely not out of ideas. We've we've started sending thermal paste. Yeah

00:37:23.640 --> 00:37:27.640
I'm gonna I'm gonna close that topic

00:37:27.640 --> 00:37:32.120
Um, cool. We've got an announcement. It's not it's not like

00:37:32.680 --> 00:37:41.080
Innovation is impossible. This isn't new But like we saw a fractal go with those the the like wooden and that dramatically changed the case industry

00:37:41.320 --> 00:37:45.240
Yeah, yeah that new anti like is there there is still the new anti case is interesting

00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:52.200
Like there's there is stuff that people can do I meant it as wood like the fractal one. Hmm. Oh, I thought you meant the

00:37:54.600 --> 00:38:00.680
Did they do a collab? Yeah, they did it has wood on it. Oh it does. Yeah, because like, you know trends. Yeah

00:38:02.440 --> 00:38:07.160
This week on Floatplane, we've got a ton of behind the scenes from our time at Computex

00:38:07.560 --> 00:38:12.840
And some more firetruck slash april fools behind the scenes as well with a new why is when late episode?

00:38:13.320 --> 00:38:16.840
We're supposed to watch the clip. So I guess I'll click on it now Dan

00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:21.080
I can't really show a Floatplane clip because I have to log in and things like that

00:38:21.240 --> 00:38:24.920
You can't show a Floatplane clip. You'd have to log in. Well, I think the question Dan

00:38:25.720 --> 00:38:31.080
That is on all of our minds is why are you not logged into Floatplane? Yeah, don't you care?

00:38:31.640 --> 00:38:38.360
Yeah, let me just download it And then add it to the streaming software so that I can show it for four seconds

00:38:40.040 --> 00:38:45.640
Nice I I can't tell if his voice was coming through to them, but if it wasn't

00:38:46.040 --> 00:38:49.320
Uh, it was loaded with passive aggression. Oh, no, wait

00:38:49.960 --> 00:38:52.760
Floatplane's actually really fast. So that took like no time at all

00:38:54.200 --> 00:38:59.080
Nice. Good job luke. All right. Here you go. Uh, what is it this button?

00:38:59.720 --> 00:39:01.720
And

00:39:03.240 --> 00:39:05.240
I do what I'm doing shut up

00:39:12.040 --> 00:39:14.040
You guys zero I think I zero

00:39:20.520 --> 00:39:24.040
I love that it works. Yeah, that's so cool. That's pretty cool

00:39:24.760 --> 00:39:28.360
We will also have secret shopper part four the finale

00:39:28.760 --> 00:39:32.440
Which will be available next week up early on Floatplane. So go check it out

00:39:32.760 --> 00:39:38.840
And then we have a final rog rig reboot reminder There are only a couple of days left to get your submissions in for rog rig reboot

00:39:38.840 --> 00:39:46.280
We're picking three winners two from north america one international to be flown to our studio to build a pc with me on camera

00:39:46.680 --> 00:39:50.600
You just got to submit a video showing us why you need a rig reboot

00:39:51.000 --> 00:39:55.640
Whether your system's unable to keep up with your workflow or you can't run demanding games or it's just absolutely cooked

00:39:55.800 --> 00:40:00.200
We need all the deets. Uh, this is a competition that rewards creativity and originality

00:40:00.200 --> 00:40:04.920
So make sure your video is unique and not like a past submission. Yes, we will know

00:40:05.400 --> 00:40:08.360
30 to 59 seconds show us your current setup tell us why we should pick you and again

00:40:08.600 --> 00:40:11.560
Be creative submissions are open until 4 45 p.m

00:40:11.960 --> 00:40:18.360
Pacific time sunday may the 25th and Dan is going to post the submission link in all of the various chats

00:40:19.320 --> 00:40:27.400
um Merch messages. Oh good lord. We haven't talked. Oh, we did talk about vo3. Okay. Good. Uh, oh, yeah

00:40:27.400 --> 00:40:30.040
We should do a couple merch messages Dan want to hit us with that

00:40:31.400 --> 00:40:37.720
Yeah, i'm sure thing. I've got a couple here DLL i'm a late joiner into the LTT cult about four to five years ago

00:40:37.720 --> 00:40:43.000
So this may have been asked before but what are your favorite colors? Is Linus is pink or orange?

00:40:43.960 --> 00:40:53.240
I Don't know if anybody has ever asked that before I have never had what are your colors merge message before a favorite colors

00:40:53.800 --> 00:40:58.920
uh I don't know. Maybe like uh, like a cool

00:41:00.360 --> 00:41:08.120
Like a cool bluey green It depends. There's certain things that I like some colors and there's certain things that I like other colors

00:41:08.760 --> 00:41:13.080
I'm painting my bike pink Well

00:41:13.080 --> 00:41:18.680
I'm trying to paint my bike pink Attempting. Yeah, historically. I was always red

00:41:19.400 --> 00:41:26.920
red and black These days I've been an enjoyer of browns and greens more really. Yeah brown is uh,

00:41:27.400 --> 00:41:34.520
Unusual favorite color Like uh, it's certainly like a decor trend. Yeah, everything tan and brown

00:41:35.000 --> 00:41:42.600
But I don't know if any I don't know if even those people say yes My favorite color is tan and brown like I bought some uh, some shorts recently that are brown

00:41:43.240 --> 00:41:48.520
Right, I think they look nice. Yeah, but brown like again people buy brown shorts because they look inoffensive

00:41:48.600 --> 00:41:52.920
I don't know if they buy brown shorts because I think minecraft block is a cool aesthetic

00:41:56.200 --> 00:41:58.200
Yeah, yeah, okay

00:42:01.240 --> 00:42:04.040
Slimming you know it's slimming

00:42:05.000 --> 00:42:08.040
You gotta wear the brown pants and a green shirt

00:42:09.240 --> 00:42:11.240
Just embrace it. Sure, Dan

00:42:12.600 --> 00:42:16.920
Hey taiwan show. What's the best non AI tech you spotted at Computex this year?

00:42:17.320 --> 00:42:21.880
Uh ps Linus. Have you learned nothing from the last time you played with gold?

00:42:23.240 --> 00:42:25.480
Also, I'm charged shipping on gift cards now

00:42:27.000 --> 00:42:31.800
Hey, the last the last time I played with gold the controller appreciated a lot

00:42:32.760 --> 00:42:36.120
That ended up being a tremendous investment pun intended

00:42:37.160 --> 00:42:41.080
Get it. Yeah Nice I don't think I saw

00:42:41.080 --> 00:42:45.720
Anything on the show floor that said it was AI enabled that I was excited about

00:42:46.360 --> 00:42:50.440
At all one funny thing that I ran into though. Did you see the AI golf booth?

00:42:51.160 --> 00:42:57.880
No There was a big AI golf booth. I haven't talked to any I've talked to a bunch of people that saw it

00:42:57.960 --> 00:43:03.640
I haven't talked to a single person that saw it work Um, I saw them working on it for a pretty considerable amount of time

00:43:03.640 --> 00:43:08.200
We were standing there with sammy trying to wait to see if they're going to get it working And then they they claimed they got it working

00:43:08.200 --> 00:43:13.960
They had someone go up to like test it and they they they took a really long time trying to get the golf ball in the

00:43:13.960 --> 00:43:17.960
T they finally got it They whiffed hard

00:43:18.360 --> 00:43:23.960
Took a really long time to set it up like they missed the screen They hit the the ball, but they missed the whole screen which is like

00:43:24.920 --> 00:43:32.120
Almost everywhere the ball could have gone Um, they took a really long time setting it up on the tee again

00:43:33.080 --> 00:43:35.240
Hit it again whiffed the screen again

00:43:36.280 --> 00:43:38.280
And then the system stopped working again

00:43:40.280 --> 00:43:42.280
And we just left

00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:49.000
That kind of encapsulated a lot of the AI enabled this that at least I saw at the show

00:43:49.000 --> 00:43:55.480
But I was only on the show floor for one day. So maybe maybe you saw something I doubt it, but maybe

00:43:57.880 --> 00:44:06.280
Um Boy my my favorite thing is probably um, I'm gonna go with the boiling cooler

00:44:07.240 --> 00:44:15.800
I I like I like cool. I like cool cooling stuff. It was AI enabled. No, what that wasn't AI enabled was what they asked

00:44:16.200 --> 00:44:22.280
Oh, yeah So I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go with the boiling cooler. That looks sick. Nice. Um

00:44:22.600 --> 00:44:26.760
Hey Kind of related to AI

00:44:26.760 --> 00:44:34.920
Signal is blocking Windows recall microsoft's AI enabled constant logging of everything that you do on your computer

00:44:35.560 --> 00:44:41.240
Signal messenger is warning users that the privacy of their communications is being threatened by Windows recall

00:44:42.120 --> 00:44:47.400
Microsoft's AI tool that will screenshot index and store pretty much everything a user does every few seconds

00:44:47.720 --> 00:44:54.360
They have updated signal for Windows to by default block the ability of Windows to screenshot the app

00:44:54.920 --> 00:45:01.400
Signals move reduces the possibility of recall indexing indexing private messages, but doesn't eliminate it because

00:45:01.960 --> 00:45:08.360
Users can change the setting within the desktop app For example, if they want to make use of accessibility tools like screen readers

00:45:09.160 --> 00:45:14.760
Signal officials note that microsoft has made many adjustments to recall in response to critical feedback over the last year

00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:20.280
But recall still places any content displayed within privacy protected apps like signal at risk

00:45:21.000 --> 00:45:25.080
We've actually got a video coming up about recall. Uh, we kind of

00:45:25.720 --> 00:45:35.800
totally on purpose Have a laptop from back when recall was first announced that we did the like hacks ring to make it work

00:45:35.880 --> 00:45:44.840
even though it wasn't an AI enough laptop and Uh, we left it disconnected completely from the internet as a time capsule of

00:45:45.560 --> 00:45:49.720
Windows recall when it was first launched And we take that

00:45:49.720 --> 00:45:53.400
Out of the mothballs and a brand new signal a signal. Excuse me

00:45:53.720 --> 00:45:56.600
Windows recall laptop and show the differences in behavior

00:45:57.000 --> 00:46:02.520
How they how they log how it's encrypted or not encrypted and interesting. It's a really cool video

00:46:02.600 --> 00:46:07.560
Yeah, that's cool that we totally on purpose definitely kept that laptop disconnected from the internet for a year

00:46:08.840 --> 00:46:13.800
Nice happy accidents. Happy accident. Yeah. No, we just like a lot of recipes are made

00:46:13.960 --> 00:46:18.840
We were originally planning to make a video about recall and then for soft bailed on the launch

00:46:19.400 --> 00:46:23.400
And so we were like, oh, okay. Well, we can't really make this video. So we just like they're not even releasing it

00:46:23.480 --> 00:46:29.080
Yeah, so it was like written. Yeah, but we just like put everything away and so it ended up working out

00:46:29.160 --> 00:46:35.000
So we'll we'll do the video now Our discussion question is is anyone excited about recall?

00:46:35.800 --> 00:46:40.540
no Really incredibly draconian it teams

00:46:43.400 --> 00:46:48.520
Cool. Yeah, but they already have tools like that. So it's not even like microsoft's just reinventing the wheel

00:46:49.800 --> 00:46:56.840
From that perspective Well, maybe they could save money on their tools that they have that already do that because you're right

00:46:58.440 --> 00:47:02.280
Man Floatplane chat is hilarious any

00:47:02.280 --> 00:47:05.400
Any excuse to mention that you use firefox

00:47:05.800 --> 00:47:12.600
Every single full-plane user uses firefox. I know that I know that I know that this is this is just fact

00:47:12.680 --> 00:47:17.560
It's like it's a law of The universe. Yeah, um, even the ones that use chrome

00:47:18.200 --> 00:47:24.040
This is super cool. They still use firefox coach a small french company sells a product called infinite battery

00:47:24.200 --> 00:47:29.800
Which allows users to swap individual cells inside in order to have them the battery last longer

00:47:29.880 --> 00:47:35.640
The company explains that most e-bike batteries are made up of collections of 18 650 cells

00:47:35.880 --> 00:47:40.920
Which are wired together in series in parallel and often an e-bikes battery will fail and stop working

00:47:41.240 --> 00:47:44.120
Even if only a small handful of these individual cells stop working

00:47:44.680 --> 00:47:49.480
The product is a fireproof casing and some documentation that allows users to swap in fresh

00:47:50.040 --> 00:47:54.920
Cells with only a screwdriver. It also has a built-in battery monitoring and other stats that can be seen through your phone

00:47:54.920 --> 00:47:58.840
And is currently compatible without with about 90 of existing e-bike brands

00:47:59.880 --> 00:48:07.240
This is super cool. That's awesome. Yeah, we did a video. Uh, man, this was years ago at this point

00:48:07.800 --> 00:48:13.880
where um, the title is this should be illegal battery repair blocking and uh

00:48:14.520 --> 00:48:19.160
It was when I discovered that not only will brands

00:48:20.520 --> 00:48:24.600
Not enable you to replace the cells in your battery pack

00:48:24.840 --> 00:48:31.160
But some of them will actively block you from doing it by detecting a change in voltage at the bms

00:48:32.040 --> 00:48:39.320
and then self-destructing if at any point that voltage goes outside of certain parameters and uh

00:48:40.040 --> 00:48:46.280
This was back when collin was working here. He told me that apparently some of them are so

00:48:47.400 --> 00:48:52.040
So bad that not only will they self-destruct if it like goes to zero

00:48:53.000 --> 00:48:55.800
But they will self-destruct if you charge them

00:48:56.760 --> 00:49:04.040
and it's like It suspiciously charges like too much more better. You must have changed the cells in here

00:49:05.000 --> 00:49:09.000
And they'll turn off Just go to sleep forever. Oh

00:49:09.480 --> 00:49:13.720
That is brutal. I still believe everything that I said back then that should be illegal

00:49:13.800 --> 00:49:18.600
And I think that this e-bike company sounds super cool. Yeah, that's awesome

00:49:19.240 --> 00:49:22.120
There's some microsoft announcements from build 2025

00:49:22.520 --> 00:49:28.200
Microsoft has made their Windows subsystem for Linux lsx open source with the code up on github now

00:49:28.840 --> 00:49:35.320
LSx allows Windows to natively run elf executables and implement Linux syscalls inside the Windows kernel

00:49:35.400 --> 00:49:40.680
Very cool microsoft is also adding model context protocol support Windows 11 for tighter integration with ai

00:49:41.000 --> 00:49:47.320
All right from an official statement the mcp platform on Windows will offer a standardized framework for ai agents to connect with native Windows apps

00:49:47.320 --> 00:49:52.600
Which can expose specific functionality to augment the skills and capabilities of those agents on Windows 11 pcs

00:49:53.240 --> 00:49:57.480
Okay, and finally microsoft has announced the newest web syndication standards

00:49:57.560 --> 00:50:03.240
nl web designed to make it easier for ai to crawl the internet and add tighter ai integration into web pages

00:50:04.760 --> 00:50:06.760
Cool

00:50:08.520 --> 00:50:15.960
And in other hooray news open ai buys one of joni ive's companies io for six and a half

00:50:16.600 --> 00:50:22.920
billion dollars. Oh good I am happy they had that much money. I was reading an article about this acquisition

00:50:23.880 --> 00:50:31.480
that um highlighted products that uh the the x design chief at apple

00:50:32.040 --> 00:50:35.720
um was working on with his like love from or

00:50:36.360 --> 00:50:42.120
io company like whatever whatever it is that he's doing sure and and one of i think two

00:50:43.160 --> 00:50:48.600
projects that they highlighted was That he's designing his company's headquarters

00:50:50.360 --> 00:50:54.520
And i was like Okay, like right, but isn't that just like

00:50:55.640 --> 00:50:59.960
Like a necessary thing that because people need a place to sit like what are you actually

00:51:01.000 --> 00:51:08.040
What do you actually do? I'm actually i'm a hundred percent not sure and maybe i'm missing something here

00:51:08.520 --> 00:51:15.320
But i i i haven't seen anything that love from or io have done that are worth six and a half

00:51:16.200 --> 00:51:19.320
billion dollars

00:51:19.400 --> 00:51:22.840
Like can we Can we contextualize this?

00:51:23.320 --> 00:51:29.720
at all um like this must be this must be a game changer

00:51:30.600 --> 00:51:37.720
Like absolute game changer. Can you guys can you guys let me know like what love from or and or io?

00:51:38.200 --> 00:51:45.560
Have done to be worth six and a half Bees apparently sam altman has been working with johnny ive already on some like

00:51:46.520 --> 00:51:49.800
i'm assuming ai enabled smart wearable necklace thing

00:51:51.240 --> 00:51:54.360
Uh, because apparently we didn't learn anything from the ai pin

00:51:55.160 --> 00:51:59.400
um So maybe

00:51:59.400 --> 00:52:02.280
No one's giving me anything in here. Well, I don't think they've done anything

00:52:03.400 --> 00:52:09.160
So I think the the value is this stuff's done stuff. They've done like design work for companies. Yeah. Yeah, it's not like

00:52:09.560 --> 00:52:13.000
But I don't think they've released like a product. It's not like johnny ive's just been like sitting there

00:52:13.880 --> 00:52:20.360
Wouldn't be surprised. I mean no, I would I would he seems like he seems like a go-getter. He's a grinder. I just um

00:52:24.760 --> 00:52:29.400
What The 6.5 billion

00:52:29.720 --> 00:52:35.720
Yeah What what is your what to sorry? What's it? Sorry. Sorry 6.5 billion. What about the 6.5 billion?

00:52:36.520 --> 00:52:40.760
No, you said what no, no, no, don't worry about it. It doesn't matter. Okay. I must have misheard you. Okay, cool

00:52:41.560 --> 00:52:47.480
I I think I think it's the the whatever they've already been working together behind closed doors on a

00:52:48.120 --> 00:52:51.800
Device sure, but for six and a half billion dollars. Oh, yeah

00:52:52.680 --> 00:52:56.920
Like how many units have said device could you possibly be hoping to sell?

00:52:57.640 --> 00:53:03.720
Such that you could amortize over that number of units the 6.5 billion dollar acquisition of your partner

00:53:03.800 --> 00:53:08.440
I really you know the um, you know the analysis that happened when

00:53:08.600 --> 00:53:11.720
Elon like bought and sold his companies to each other

00:53:12.360 --> 00:53:16.280
Yeah, and people were like, oh, it's it's because he's like effectively moving money around

00:53:16.360 --> 00:53:19.960
So that he has more stock control of a higher percentage of whatever blah blah blah

00:53:20.200 --> 00:53:23.000
I really wonder how much of that is happening

00:53:24.520 --> 00:53:31.000
Unmass in the ai space as there's like all this funding going in and then companies are finding like

00:53:31.480 --> 00:53:35.400
Oh, everyone kind of hates it and there's a lot of free models

00:53:35.800 --> 00:53:39.720
And there isn't actually a ton of money in like developing LLM tech

00:53:40.600 --> 00:53:42.600
uh, let's just like

00:53:43.960 --> 00:53:46.920
Buy companies and do this other stuff to like move the money around

00:53:48.040 --> 00:53:52.280
I mean, I guess um

00:53:52.280 --> 00:53:56.120
Well, hey, congratulations Johnny

00:53:56.120 --> 00:53:59.960
um That's a lot more money than you would have made hanging around at apple

00:54:00.680 --> 00:54:04.200
So, yeah Good job

00:54:04.200 --> 00:54:06.200
Yeah, sure

00:54:08.600 --> 00:54:16.200
Unless just moving money around I mean, I like really feel like it might be there's all these rumors about open ai and microsoft kind of breaking up and

00:54:16.760 --> 00:54:23.720
um I don't know the last thing that open ai did that was big in the news that wasn't drama

00:54:26.360 --> 00:54:28.360
Compared to other companies that are like

00:54:29.560 --> 00:54:33.640
pushing big models and arguably more effective models and open ai's models

00:54:34.440 --> 00:54:37.080
Many of which are just open source which just like

00:54:37.960 --> 00:54:39.960
Largely removes the need for them to exist

00:54:41.320 --> 00:54:44.120
I don't know it's an interesting field of your open ai right now, but

00:54:46.280 --> 00:54:55.080
Yeah, um Our discussion question, which I actually do want to discuss for a bit is let's say this isn't a necklace

00:54:56.120 --> 00:54:59.000
Let's just speculate, but it's not a necklace

00:54:59.640 --> 00:55:02.440
What wearable ai tech

00:55:03.160 --> 00:55:09.320
Can you think of that would actually be something you would consider buying because I have felt a little

00:55:10.280 --> 00:55:13.960
Left behind By current hardware trends

00:55:15.080 --> 00:55:23.640
I don't want Smart glasses at least not in their current form. I don't know how many people do well. Some people do. I mean that is selling some glasses

00:55:24.600 --> 00:55:32.120
Um, I don't use I actually don't even this is not a co-pilot enabled pc. I don't even have a co-pilot button

00:55:32.680 --> 00:55:36.680
This one isn't here. Yes, it is. It's right there. Ah um

00:55:36.680 --> 00:55:42.360
Okay, so you're clearly in the same situation as me. Oh my god, it does do something when I press it. Well, I'll have to kill that

00:55:43.800 --> 00:55:46.200
I'll find a way. Yeah, it's not you

00:55:46.840 --> 00:55:53.720
It doesn't the point is I have used co-pilot enabled PCs and have only ever pressed the button by accident

00:55:54.120 --> 00:56:00.360
I I I don't ever even pressed by accident. I don't use ai. You know, is there I blocked it out like you blocking out ads

00:56:01.000 --> 00:56:08.120
nice, um But but people are you like I don't I don't really use it as part of my workflow like occasionally

00:56:08.600 --> 00:56:13.800
Uh fire up, you know chat gpt or you know, whatever to like when I was brainstorming

00:56:14.040 --> 00:56:21.720
um names first mash champs I I I was like, oh, okay. Yeah, what would you call a badminton center? I ultimately went with something that was different from anything

00:56:21.800 --> 00:56:28.040
Yeah, but I use it as a sounding board. Yeah, I used it as a sounding board. But like I almost I will never rely

00:56:28.760 --> 00:56:33.800
on it I shouldn't say will never I don't mean that future looking maybe someday I will rely on it

00:56:33.800 --> 00:56:36.680
But I I never really nothing tension right now. Um

00:56:37.560 --> 00:56:43.960
And and so I just feel like like all the new products that are coming out are like not for me. I like to write things myself

00:56:44.680 --> 00:56:49.240
um I don't want to wear smart glasses and I'm just like

00:56:49.880 --> 00:56:54.520
can I just I don't know. Can I just have like earpods?

00:56:55.320 --> 00:57:00.760
Oh, okay, like they could be headphones already. I love how effective apple's branding is man

00:57:01.080 --> 00:57:03.720
The fact that you've called them earpods is like

00:57:05.720 --> 00:57:09.000
Mind-blowing to me. I I go out of my way consciously

00:57:09.560 --> 00:57:17.320
to call these my earphones These days because it just it bothers me that my kids call any earphones AirPods

00:57:17.960 --> 00:57:22.040
Like it just bothers me AirPods are not

00:57:22.200 --> 00:57:28.280
Monopoly even though they basically are And uh, sorry. Sorry. It just bothers me the reason why I

00:57:29.400 --> 00:57:33.080
Do like calling them earpods. I know they're the only ones that I hate all the other ones

00:57:33.320 --> 00:57:38.360
I mean you're wearing ones that seem to be staying in okay Uh, they like hurt because I had to jam them in

00:57:40.440 --> 00:57:43.880
Like my ears will be sore for the rest of the day. Oh, whoa is me. Yeah

00:57:45.320 --> 00:57:49.560
I mean The other parts they're gonna be

00:57:51.160 --> 00:57:53.160
Okay, sorry, I don't know why I said that

00:57:55.000 --> 00:58:00.440
But okay, if you look at like airpod fours, they got actually pretty significantly smaller. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah there

00:58:00.520 --> 00:58:05.080
So there is room to have some expansion to fit a little bit more tech in there

00:58:06.040 --> 00:58:08.760
Um, especially if it's just like reporting out to your phone or something

00:58:09.080 --> 00:58:13.480
Okay, so and then you could hear because they they have the ability to talk to llms

00:58:13.560 --> 00:58:20.440
Okay, so so but then let's let's let's ask the usual question right and that is

00:58:21.240 --> 00:58:26.440
Why would that need to be in my earphones? Why wouldn't it just be in my phone which is connected to my earphones?

00:58:27.800 --> 00:58:31.960
Yeah Okay, so

00:58:31.960 --> 00:58:39.160
Let's try again There's no wearable then though. That's the problem other than glasses like what the heck would a necklace do nothing

00:58:40.280 --> 00:58:42.280
Well, it could have a

00:58:43.720 --> 00:58:45.720
You

00:58:48.440 --> 00:58:50.440
Camera on it

00:58:54.040 --> 00:58:57.320
You laugh but it's basically that stupid google thing. Yeah that google

00:58:58.600 --> 00:59:03.160
No camera that would take pictures with ai at like the right times or whatever

00:59:03.560 --> 00:59:07.480
Everyone's like completely forgotten about this. I bring it up every once in a while. It's so bad

00:59:08.040 --> 00:59:10.760
Uh, do you guys remember what that stupid thing was called chat?

00:59:11.720 --> 00:59:17.800
um You're like Pretty hyper out of time. I can help you go pack up your room if you want

00:59:18.440 --> 00:59:26.200
Uh, sure. Um What else do we need to get through? We got a couple immersions. There's one more really important thing. Okay two brave souls

00:59:27.240 --> 00:59:34.040
our Clip says hold on hold on. Yeah, hold on google clip. I think that's it or wait was google google clip software

00:59:36.040 --> 00:59:39.800
Uh, i don't remember this at all clip on camera device designed by google

00:59:40.760 --> 00:59:45.160
Uh two and a half stars from the verge nice

00:59:45.960 --> 00:59:54.920
I think that might have been it Anyway, hold on hold on you're gonna like this two brave souls are fighting to preserve the lost art of GPU boxes

00:59:55.240 --> 00:59:58.840
Oh Okay, check this out

01:00:01.400 --> 01:00:08.200
It's like uh, it's like a table book. Oh, that's cool. They went around look at what we had

01:00:08.760 --> 01:00:14.440
They went oh man. I knew you're gonna like this and painstakingly captured

01:00:15.400 --> 01:00:25.160
Cool GPU box art From back in the day and just made like a table book of it. Look how like this is a crazy card

01:00:25.720 --> 01:00:30.600
And how like normie and plain that looks yeah compared to all this stuff. Look at this

01:00:31.240 --> 01:00:33.720
This is so awesome Dan. Are you getting this on screen at all?

01:00:34.440 --> 01:00:36.440
As your hopes up then

01:00:37.800 --> 01:00:44.600
Uh overclocked. Yes, I can see it an archive of graphics card box art is a new book showcasing the most radical

01:00:44.920 --> 01:00:52.600
GPU box art from the bygone era of bombastic branding and is being being released by publisher lock books on may 31st

01:00:53.080 --> 01:00:59.400
Curated by mike mccabe and sam bailey it will feature over 300 retail boxes from the late 1990s through to the early 2010s

01:00:59.720 --> 01:01:03.880
Plus over 50 GPU print ads from the golden age of gaming magazines

01:01:04.520 --> 01:01:11.160
um That's all that's cool. I like it. There's a couple of messages. Sorry. We should get one for the office. I'd be down

01:01:13.560 --> 01:01:21.160
All right a couple left here. Hi dll recently upgraded pc after years. Why in 2025 does it seem like Windows?

01:01:22.120 --> 01:01:25.400
Is Windows unable to migrate apps and settings seamlessly?

01:01:25.720 --> 01:01:32.040
For example, i Android iOS upgrades do resetting up apps explorer pinned items is still so manual

01:01:34.600 --> 01:01:39.400
That's a good question. I mean, I I actually find the process pretty darn manual on

01:01:40.280 --> 01:01:43.400
iOS as well Windows really sometimes you upgrade Windows

01:01:44.200 --> 01:01:47.320
Isn't it pretty seamless or do they mean moving a device like a fresh install?

01:01:47.400 --> 01:01:51.480
That's what it sounds like to me like when you know migration and and like

01:01:52.440 --> 01:01:55.720
I I guess for me, I would say um

01:01:57.480 --> 01:02:04.760
There's a really really fine line between carrying forward settings that will be helpful to the user and

01:02:05.640 --> 01:02:09.640
carrying forward Prud that might have been like

01:02:09.640 --> 01:02:14.360
Bunging up your previous Windows install. I often want to install. Um

01:02:15.320 --> 01:02:20.600
So I just don't know. I don't know how you'd fix that without making a lot of other things worse

01:02:21.080 --> 01:02:26.200
Yeah, and You might say okay. Yeah, but i'm the user I could decide what I prefer

01:02:26.600 --> 01:02:31.240
But a lot of users would probably use this convenient option and then have their system be

01:02:32.360 --> 01:02:39.640
Bunged and then blame microsoft for it. So I can see why a fresh install is a fresh install. I I get it

01:02:41.720 --> 01:02:47.720
Last one i've got for you today Linus have your badminton friends over there reacted to smash champs yet?
