1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,000
How you guys doing?

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:13,340
Happy happy Friday, is that a lawnmower? Yeah, what it's January. Yeah, are you sure it's a lawnmower?

3
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:18,400
We're like no, I'm checking a really unfortunate car. I'm checking

4
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:37,000
Takes me a really long time to get to work It's a lot yeah a lawnmower at like 7 p.m. On a Friday in January in an industrial park. Is it a lawnmower?

5
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:45,760
I can't see it's too far. Oh, it's just carrying really well down the complex. It's too far away though. Yeah, that's curious

6
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,360
How you doing floaties?

7
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:55,280
Happy Friday, y'all. No snow. No. No, yeah, no, it's not like a snowblower or anything. No

8
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,340
We've had kind of a like pathetic winter. Yeah

9
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:06,280
Have you gone like boarding ski? I took my kids up once and

10
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,800
There was a lot of brown snow Yeah

11
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,240
Yeah, just really has not been has not been much of a winter

12
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:23,840
I mean Honestly, it's been kind of nice that we've had the occasional clear day because usually it the the cloud cover rolls in somewhere around like October

13
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:29,040
And then rolls out somewhere in the like May time frame and that's Vancouver winter for you

14
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,640
But yeah, we just we like it hasn't even been wet like it's been like it's wet it's Vancouver

15
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:41,040
But it's it hasn't been like like just like always raining the way it has been in the past in a super weird winter

16
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,240
All right

17
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,520
Do we have any way I forget do we have any way of telling how many people are watching on

18
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,360
Floatplane no, right? there's indirect ways

19
00:01:54,760 --> 00:02:02,880
And AJ quantum a day can get you like if we observe it it changes a decently good accurate answer now. I'm over it

20
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:11,520
Sounds like AJ has better things to do if you count. Yeah, people are saying like 1700. So I think they're counting the chatter list which

21
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:18,920
That's a minimum. Oh Okay, it's so that there are people that do not show up in the chatter list

22
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:22,640
It's it's if I remember correctly, it's pretty notably higher than the chatter list shows, right?

23
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:28,920
There's different ad blocking extensions and other weird things that will block the chatter registration

24
00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:35,360
Got it. We've never cared enough to fix it. Yeah, it doesn't seem very important. Oh, I have something special for our pre-show folks

25
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:44,520
subfloatplane Yeah, the backpack pin from last week is now available standalone on the store

26
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:51,040
So you guys asked but just for we got you I have no idea what the conditions of that are I

27
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,840
Am just there's conditions. I am just reading the thing I saw. Okay, cool

28
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,840
So I read the thing on there It says the conditions that I remember he said or should we just go off?

29
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:04,320
Oh, you know you remember conditions cool cool cool the conditions

30
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,480
I remembered that he said was that it's just for the pre-show. I

31
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,760
Think he said it's just to talk about on the pre-show. Oh

32
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,920
So it's like quietly on the store, but we're only gonna talk about it in the pre-show

33
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:20,440
I don't honestly probably does because we don't have that many so we don't want to just like

34
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,720
That's why I thought it was just the pre-show loose the hounds on the the few backpacks

35
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,960
We have it's meant to be the promotional item for the for the thing. Anyway, you let a bug inside. You got what?

36
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,480
How could you do this?

37
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,720
Well, I'm not what I'm so tempted

38
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,760
I

39
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,840
Need like a lamp and a railing

40
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,720
Anyways, sorry, I'm gonna

41
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,560
I'm not sorry

42
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,060
Hold the pin I thought you meant the bug I did too. I thought you meant me

43
00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:12,860
Oh Okay, okay, so it's kept live until it sells out. Yeah, that's what Dan said. So it's not it's not just pre-show

44
00:04:12,860 --> 00:04:19,700
Okay, it effectively could be yeah, I mean it kind of depends on how things going how things going and spends on how things go. Oh

45
00:04:20,860 --> 00:04:22,860
What a week man. Oh

46
00:04:24,140 --> 00:04:26,140
All right, we just get this thing going

47
00:04:28,980 --> 00:04:31,620
Yeah, maybe yeah, whatever all right

48
00:04:35,260 --> 00:04:38,300
Let me refresh my selecteds here

49
00:04:38,300 --> 00:04:43,540
Oh, let me log into my selecteds in order to do that when you log into my other thing in order to do that

50
00:04:43,540 --> 00:04:45,780
Let me just get my other code. Oh

51
00:04:47,660 --> 00:04:52,420
Modern security is sick, dude. I keep forgetting to how and do you about it more? It's on my

52
00:04:53,420 --> 00:05:02,220
Prepolist now chats and Annals and chats and oh again. There was some feedback on this. Can we kill the sponsored banners during?

53
00:05:03,060 --> 00:05:05,060
The thing that we're totally not doing

54
00:05:07,780 --> 00:05:12,140
Or could we just clip out the section the clean version and

55
00:05:13,020 --> 00:05:17,460
Huck it up. Oh wait, is that not an option? Do does LMG clips usually have the banner in the bottom?

56
00:05:18,180 --> 00:05:21,260
I think so. Oh, okay. Sure. Yeah, sure

57
00:05:22,140 --> 00:05:26,140
Well, no, just put it behind any visuals then it should be fine

58
00:05:32,500 --> 00:05:34,500
You do you do whatever

59
00:05:35,660 --> 00:05:39,620
Yeah, no, no, just any visuals just put them in the very very front layer

60
00:05:39,620 --> 00:05:45,540
Then it should be fine because people were just upset that they couldn't see what was there because the banner covered it

61
00:05:48,340 --> 00:05:50,340
Is that shine and sparkle

62
00:05:51,500 --> 00:05:57,620
So sparkle and shine so if Hypothetically speaking you had a visual that was supposed to go up over top of us

63
00:05:58,580 --> 00:06:02,740
Put it one layer farther so it goes in front of the banner. Is that possible?

64
00:06:07,660 --> 00:06:10,060
They do okay good, then I guess that's fine

65
00:06:19,900 --> 00:06:24,140
This week we will be responding to the allegations from the test-tone society

66
00:06:24,140 --> 00:06:30,620
I Mean you just use a swear bleep hey test-tone society go fuck yourself

67
00:06:32,860 --> 00:06:36,460
Or if they'd appreciate that they probably don't get enough shout outs

68
00:06:36,460 --> 00:06:39,740
I mean, yeah, they want people to speak their language, you know, is there is is there a

69
00:06:40,420 --> 00:06:43,020
Organization that like maintain there's an organization for everything

70
00:06:43,740 --> 00:06:51,260
I actually do believe there are rules for the sensor tone really it has to be a certain frequency and a certain volume Wow

71
00:06:51,860 --> 00:06:57,300
Because you know, it's always it's always be I think it's like I don't know it's like middle a or something

72
00:06:58,020 --> 00:07:00,020
Nice, okay, should we do this thing?

73
00:07:09,060 --> 00:07:14,220
Sure, all right, let's go that's one kilo Hertz, okay, I

74
00:07:16,540 --> 00:07:19,480
Am resuming the selected

75
00:07:21,260 --> 00:07:27,700
And even when I try to speak in a lower pitch, it just doesn't work does it good bass boost? It's kind of pathetic

76
00:07:28,580 --> 00:07:30,580
It's a word that's come up a lot today

77
00:07:31,580 --> 00:07:34,860
It does I will say it does sound like you're trying. Oh, yeah

78
00:07:35,220 --> 00:07:39,940
Like, you know high school kids that are like men my boys totally changed man. Yeah me, too

79
00:07:42,180 --> 00:07:46,860
Are people doing that like are your son's friends doing that I haven't noticed it

80
00:07:46,860 --> 00:07:49,820
But I definitely noticed it when I was in school

81
00:07:51,260 --> 00:07:53,700
Yeah, man, I totally have a low voice. So

82
00:07:54,980 --> 00:08:03,060
Like I never noticed like a Or like we were you know teachers would talk about like oh like there's gonna be big changes

83
00:08:03,060 --> 00:08:06,380
You're going through every other stuff. I remember the whole time. I was just like I don't

84
00:08:07,700 --> 00:08:13,660
What It didn't feel like I came out of the womb covered in hair

85
00:08:14,660 --> 00:08:21,460
I'm starting to show up like they they they talked about it like it was gonna be so like traumatic and I was like

86
00:08:22,100 --> 00:08:28,820
Okay, there's hair. I don't it's down there. Yeah, why do I care like under there? Yeah, whatever. I don't know. I just

87
00:08:32,420 --> 00:08:37,660
All right, so we do this thing I'm ready to resume the selected if you're ready sure yeah

88
00:08:38,580 --> 00:08:44,140
Actually now I drank like half of this before the show start cam gonna no no no no no no I don't I'm not saying I want more

89
00:08:44,140 --> 00:08:46,140
I'm saying you need to go pee

90
00:09:00,820 --> 00:09:06,140
Is the shirt you're wearing LTT yeah, this is an LTT shirt is it still for sale?

91
00:09:07,140 --> 00:09:09,140
A lot of our stuff is sold out so I

92
00:09:12,620 --> 00:09:14,900
We're working on it that stuff's hard

93
00:09:17,060 --> 00:09:27,700
Yes And it is for sale and there does seem to be quantity it is the blank t-shirt select color lavender

94
00:09:28,580 --> 00:09:31,620
If you're wondering, I think it looks kind of nice actually

95
00:09:32,380 --> 00:09:36,140
Like it's unfortunately not at all so I have to do this all

96
00:09:36,820 --> 00:09:41,700
Day and everyone wonders why I have this thing or I have to constantly pull my shirt down

97
00:09:42,100 --> 00:09:47,580
And it's just cuz it doesn't fit you need a you need a TC tugger, but for like pulling it down

98
00:09:48,380 --> 00:09:54,180
TC tugger. It's a real product. It's a real thing. Is it is it? No, it's from I I

99
00:09:54,500 --> 00:09:59,420
Think you should leave I think What

100
00:09:59,660 --> 00:10:04,660
Yeah, I think I think you should leave it's like a little it's like a little button that you put on your shirt

101
00:10:04,660 --> 00:10:09,300
So that you think you should leave. Yes, the name of the show. It's not a joke. It's a real product

102
00:10:10,100 --> 00:10:12,100
Stop making fun of me brand or something

103
00:10:15,740 --> 00:10:22,500
That's a show Okay, I've seen this before I just didn't know the name of it. I think this I think you should leave I

104
00:10:23,060 --> 00:10:27,080
Think you should leave. Yeah, people are tagging me to say leave

105
00:10:29,860 --> 00:10:31,860
Has this ever happened to you, I'm sorry

106
00:10:35,700 --> 00:10:40,300
You bought a house and it was not disclosed to you that there was a termite infestation in the walls and then the molding

107
00:10:40,300 --> 00:10:44,060
So you have to take it upon yourself to call your own termite extermination company

108
00:10:44,060 --> 00:10:47,900
But when the guys show up they immediately ask if they can use your bathroom then for over two hours

109
00:10:47,900 --> 00:10:50,980
They take turns going in and out taking huge mud pies and over flushing

110
00:10:50,980 --> 00:10:55,100
Then they go in there together and you hear a bunch of scrounging around and then you hear a bunch of yelling and one of them

111
00:10:55,100 --> 00:10:58,820
Standing in the bathroom doorway shouting at you that his friend's foot is stuck in the toilet

112
00:10:58,820 --> 00:11:01,900
And he says help him you got to help him and when you go in there to help him

113
00:11:01,900 --> 00:11:06,100
He just pulls it out easily and laughs because his foot wasn't stuck and it wasn't stuck at all

114
00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:08,740
He was just faking it and then they get really serious and say it's turbo time

115
00:11:10,460 --> 00:11:12,460
I hear Linus coming back I

116
00:11:13,780 --> 00:11:22,820
Don't know what just happened That's not a thing to say everything that transpired when you were gone. It's totally fine. Not so none of it

117
00:11:23,340 --> 00:11:28,540
Everything's okay. We call them Luke. Not suss Lafreniere. Everything's all right here. How are you?

118
00:11:30,060 --> 00:11:36,780
Quote the Star Wars you might as well get it right. I was then when the Star Wars was written which

119
00:11:37,540 --> 00:11:44,180
That line up I never remember exactly what he says which is embarrassing because it's like the best line in the entire

120
00:11:44,380 --> 00:11:46,380
Two Star Wars trilogies that exist

121
00:11:51,060 --> 00:11:53,380
Haven't seen that movie in a very long time

122
00:11:55,060 --> 00:11:57,740
Chili you could say it was a long long time ago

123
00:11:59,700 --> 00:12:04,100
You could say it was long long ago in a galaxy but it really wasn't that far away

124
00:12:04,100 --> 00:12:07,380
It was like a short drive from here probably I don't even know where it was

125
00:12:07,380 --> 00:12:09,620
But it was probably a short drive from here wherever it was

126
00:12:11,500 --> 00:12:13,500
But a long long time ago

127
00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:21,100
Just knock out he's away as well. Yeah, this is just a slight. There's a slight difference. All right, okay

128
00:12:21,620 --> 00:12:31,260
All right All right, let's do this thing. Shall we I am resuming they selected boop

129
00:12:44,980 --> 00:12:46,980
You

130
00:12:59,180 --> 00:13:07,540
Good evening everyone My plan was to not discuss the whole situation right now any further like many of you

131
00:13:07,580 --> 00:13:10,700
We wanted to keep this whole thing from dragging out so we set our piece

132
00:13:11,380 --> 00:13:16,140
Steve from gamers nexus wrote a manifesto that could probably be best summed up as know you and

133
00:13:16,940 --> 00:13:19,500
Then it was done or so we thought

134
00:13:20,220 --> 00:13:26,020
Shortly before when show Lewis Rossman released an hour-long hit piece and in a now deleted comment Steve mentioned

135
00:13:26,020 --> 00:13:32,700
He had seen the video before it went live making it clear that at the very least he was involved in reviewing this video before publication

136
00:13:33,700 --> 00:13:41,020
When other creators reached out to us in support we explicitly discouraged any escalation

137
00:13:41,700 --> 00:13:49,420
While Steve seems to be doing the opposite So here we are more or less forced to respond yet again, but we'll keep it much much shorter this time

138
00:13:50,340 --> 00:13:58,620
Steve asked me to direct any further communications about his ethical breach and persistent defamatory statements to his lawyer as I clearly stated before

139
00:13:58,620 --> 00:14:02,980
I don't have a lawyer involved and I don't want one involved

140
00:14:02,980 --> 00:14:08,980
I wrote last week's address myself with feedback from my team and this much shorter wrap-up will come from me as well

141
00:14:09,340 --> 00:14:16,580
The core issue has not been addressed at all because of ethical and process error Steve published false and damaging information about a

142
00:14:16,700 --> 00:14:19,300
competitor right of reply matters both because it is

143
00:14:19,860 --> 00:14:27,180
essential for accurate reporting and because scandal travels much faster and is a lot stickier in people's minds than the oh

144
00:14:27,620 --> 00:14:31,580
Oops never mind that comes out when the allegations are found to be false

145
00:14:31,620 --> 00:14:36,940
There's actually a good thread on the subreddit that you guys can check out that is not the visual for it, but that's fine

146
00:14:38,500 --> 00:14:41,540
The point is that this is so much worse now

147
00:14:41,940 --> 00:14:47,260
Faced with the unavoidable fact that he got it wrong and caused a bunch of damage with his actions

148
00:14:47,380 --> 00:14:52,660
Steve has outright refused to apologize correct or retract any of his false statements

149
00:14:53,100 --> 00:15:02,420
That's that's next level man I am extremely grateful that so many of you are seeing how misrepresentative the original reporting was

150
00:15:02,900 --> 00:15:06,580
both around the bill at lab situation and around the honey thing and I

151
00:15:07,020 --> 00:15:12,220
Want to applaud the maturity of the folks many many folks who have come out and said hey

152
00:15:12,620 --> 00:15:15,980
I'm sorry that I raised a pitchfork while I didn't have the full story

153
00:15:16,900 --> 00:15:21,700
I'm still deeply saddened by the virality of Steve's first video because of that

154
00:15:22,100 --> 00:15:26,300
Many will never hear the truth a fact that is worsened by Steve's

155
00:15:26,540 --> 00:15:31,540
Ongoing refusal to issue any corrections or retractions in spite of the fact that his reporting on me contains clear

156
00:15:31,900 --> 00:15:38,580
Objective errors and misquotes so in summary Steve's response shows that his standards for himself fall far short of the standards

157
00:15:38,580 --> 00:15:47,100
He holds others to and look get look dude stealthily removing the word journalism from the GN patreon changes nothing

158
00:15:48,020 --> 00:15:50,760
This whole thing is getting quite frankly kind of pathetic

159
00:15:51,820 --> 00:15:56,700
Even my and I quote Terrible response to the original hit piece

160
00:15:57,300 --> 00:16:01,340
Acknowledged issues on our side laid out a path forward which we have taken

161
00:16:01,340 --> 00:16:08,460
I'm so proud of our team and it included words like no excuses. I need to own the mistakes and sorry

162
00:16:09,420 --> 00:16:15,060
Steve's response contained no such introspection and no better path forward. His mask is now

163
00:16:15,540 --> 00:16:20,700
Truly off for anyone who used to appreciate him for his ethics and objectivity as it turns out

164
00:16:20,740 --> 00:16:27,860
He only cares about those things when it's convenient On that note just because somebody is running a master class in deflection and misdirection

165
00:16:27,860 --> 00:16:36,380
That doesn't mean that absolutely everything they say is wrong So the last thing I'm going to do today is what you guys rightly expected of me. I will meet my faults and my errors head on

166
00:16:36,980 --> 00:16:40,580
I'm sorry that I used unprofessional language and if I ever said this

167
00:16:41,620 --> 00:16:47,740
Truthfully, I don't recall it, but if I did I take that back 100 percent. I'm sorry and I'll work to do better

168
00:16:48,740 --> 00:16:56,860
So where do we go now? I Don't know guys. I see your calls to end the drama, but I can only control my side in this

169
00:16:57,380 --> 00:17:02,300
My team and I have issued with corrections and retractions where needed. We will continue to do so

170
00:17:03,260 --> 00:17:07,860
There's a couple fixes that we need for the 5090 video. They're pinned under the video. We're getting all of that sorted

171
00:17:08,620 --> 00:17:18,540
Meanwhile, the other side is spitting on our olive branch Lawyering up publicly attacking my credibility with no indication that it will end and now seemingly colluding with other creators

172
00:17:19,100 --> 00:17:26,620
to smear me in public I Don't want to play this stupid game anymore. There are only stupid prizes to be won. So

173
00:17:27,220 --> 00:17:31,220
Yeah, I think I've said enough for now. Obviously. I'm aware of Rossman's video

174
00:17:31,220 --> 00:17:34,860
We alluded to it early and I have some idea what it's about in the lead up

175
00:17:35,420 --> 00:17:42,980
He was corresponding with me But I don't think now it's time for that right now is the time to hang out with awesome people who matter and that's you guys

176
00:17:44,060 --> 00:17:48,340
Welcome to the WAN Show everyone. We've got a great show lined up for you guys this week

177
00:17:48,940 --> 00:17:56,860
some game makers hope that Grand Theft Auto 6 will cost up to 100 US dollars at launch and

178
00:17:57,140 --> 00:18:01,220
Oh, man, if we want to shout out creators who are doing awesome work

179
00:18:01,220 --> 00:18:06,340
Yeah, and you know make sure we're getting some views for guys that are just incredible good people

180
00:18:06,780 --> 00:18:14,420
Bitwit Slash Kyle his CES 2025 coverage is up. So I want you guys to go check that out. He's kind of had a pretty rough

181
00:18:15,020 --> 00:18:21,300
Rough couple of weeks to say the least. What else we got this week, sir. Wow. I had time again to prep topics

182
00:18:21,300 --> 00:18:25,220
a student built an open-source laptop in six months, and it's actually

183
00:18:25,940 --> 00:18:33,300
Really really cool. It's like the video is awesome. We've talked about sorry, sir. I'll save it. I'll save it and GPU news

184
00:18:34,020 --> 00:18:39,380
But something really big happened this week, and it was a graphics card. Yeah, why don't we talk about that?

185
00:18:39,380 --> 00:18:41,380
Please

186
00:18:59,700 --> 00:19:08,380
The show is brought to you today by Squarespace Notion and oh snap along with our rap partner dbrand and our chair partner secret lab

187
00:19:09,180 --> 00:19:11,180
Why don't we jump right into?

188
00:19:12,700 --> 00:19:15,580
How about student build open-source laptop in six months? I like it

189
00:19:15,740 --> 00:19:20,300
This is actually the coolest thing. Why don't you run us through it because you might think okay?

190
00:19:20,300 --> 00:19:25,660
You might think hearing that like oh, yeah, but like it probably sucks. No

191
00:19:26,540 --> 00:19:33,020
What if I told you it didn't okay? Okay, go go go. So I'm probably gonna butcher the name, but it's

192
00:19:33,980 --> 00:19:38,220
Any on I think it's an yon underscore e

193
00:19:39,100 --> 00:19:43,020
Uh, the specs are 4k ammo led display didn't skimp there at all

194
00:19:43,980 --> 00:19:51,340
The second I saw that I was like oh, we're serious. Okay, sure 16 gigs of ddr4 RAM an rk 35 88 so c

195
00:19:51,660 --> 00:19:59,340
Which has a an eight core ARM processor with GPU and npu which he points out in the video an m.2 SSD

196
00:19:59,500 --> 00:20:07,260
Of some capacity wi-fi 6 at 62.9 watt hour battery which came out to about seven hours of battery life sick

197
00:20:07,580 --> 00:20:11,260
brian huang hope I said that right sorry a senior in high school

198
00:20:13,100 --> 00:20:19,180
Mine completely blown made an open-source laptop from scratch. He called the any on I think it's any on

199
00:20:19,820 --> 00:20:23,500
I originally read it and thought it was anyone but then in the video. I think he says any on

200
00:20:23,900 --> 00:20:27,900
Uh, because whatever i'm just gonna call it the super cool laptop that I can't believe a high school

201
00:20:27,900 --> 00:20:32,140
It's so sick. How about that? We're not going to show the video here because you need to go watch it

202
00:20:32,140 --> 00:20:35,820
But we'll talk about it a little bit and then we'll link it in the chat for you guys. Yeah

203
00:20:36,700 --> 00:20:43,500
Because AMD and Intel don't just give you you know cpus and documentation he instead went with that rock chip processor and

204
00:20:44,060 --> 00:20:50,060
Honestly where he like really hooked me in the video was diving through the specs of that processor and why he wanted it

205
00:20:50,060 --> 00:20:57,180
And things he's going to do for and stuff very very cool Um a very expensive and complicated part of building a laptop are the io interconnects

206
00:20:57,420 --> 00:20:59,900
So brian went with the friendly elec

207
00:21:00,540 --> 00:21:04,300
Som which helps, uh, which has heaps of io on board

208
00:21:04,780 --> 00:21:08,220
We actually use the same board to make a diy nas last year

209
00:21:08,860 --> 00:21:14,460
Uh, the next problem. Yeah, that thing is so cool. Yeah, like so cool. Yeah, the next problem was the display

210
00:21:14,700 --> 00:21:21,020
You can watch the video But uh, it was a huge pain in the butt. Yeah, that's the tldw

211
00:21:21,100 --> 00:21:25,260
This is where like because he didn't skimp out because there was an option

212
00:21:25,500 --> 00:21:28,540
Yeah, he could have just got an external laptop display

213
00:21:29,100 --> 00:21:34,300
Mounted it permanently and then usb ced into the laptop and been like don't worry about that

214
00:21:34,460 --> 00:21:37,660
And that would have been way easier because the thing about mobile display

215
00:21:38,540 --> 00:21:45,180
Standards and I really man. I know I love the finger quotes, but I especially love it here is that oh, sorry

216
00:21:45,340 --> 00:21:47,900
Is that they are the kinds of standards that?

217
00:21:48,700 --> 00:21:56,540
Nobody seems to be able to agree on and it can it can just be it can be as simple as like

218
00:21:56,780 --> 00:22:05,500
The connector looks right and the receptacle looks right But if you plug them in it just straight up won't work and the getting your hands on the wiring diagrams or anything can be an absolute nightmare

219
00:22:06,060 --> 00:22:08,860
So working with like edp displays is

220
00:22:09,500 --> 00:22:14,620
Super not the easiest thing in the world a couple corrections already. My bad. Apparently it's any on e

221
00:22:15,580 --> 00:22:18,300
Cool that makes sense and it's Byron not brian

222
00:22:19,580 --> 00:22:24,620
I'm gonna use dyslexia as my excuse there. That actually works. It is spelled right in the dog. Yeah

223
00:22:26,540 --> 00:22:32,780
I don't know. I just read it wrong But yeah, the display portion was crazy because honestly when I first saw it

224
00:22:33,420 --> 00:22:38,380
I assumed he was just gonna go that route, right? Yeah, just use the i o. Yeah, that would be easy

225
00:22:38,380 --> 00:22:42,620
Make it easy. Yeah, sad sad magician in chat says calling that a standard is

226
00:22:43,580 --> 00:22:49,980
saint like generosity Yeah, it's a it's a mess. But yeah, the just the display portion is super cool

227
00:22:51,340 --> 00:22:56,540
He also just want to design the entire power system to allow for charge and discharge of the batteries

228
00:22:56,860 --> 00:23:02,780
In total it has 62.9 watt hours of battery capacity and seven hours of battery life. Okay, that is so

229
00:23:03,660 --> 00:23:07,340
cool like handling lithium battery charging and discharging

230
00:23:08,700 --> 00:23:14,140
Safely especially is is not a high school project. Uh, that's so cool

231
00:23:14,380 --> 00:23:23,580
This was a little above and beyond I think, uh, but he went ahead and made his own wireless keyboard with cherry mx low profile switches and custom 3d printed keycaps

232
00:23:23,660 --> 00:23:28,700
That's where you know, he's just having fun when you have when you have q levels of skill then you just you got to flex it

233
00:23:28,780 --> 00:23:31,500
Why not? Why not? You got to you got to flex it brother

234
00:23:32,220 --> 00:23:38,220
Um Byron then designed his own cnc'd aluminum chassis and got it anodized

235
00:23:38,860 --> 00:23:46,700
the hinge For the screen uses framework hinges. That's cool conveniently available shout out framework investment disclosure framework

236
00:23:47,100 --> 00:23:50,460
But like just making parts available for their laptops love to see it

237
00:23:51,180 --> 00:23:56,220
All said and done it boots up faster than his m3 macbook. He does like a drag race near the end of the video. It's cool

238
00:23:57,500 --> 00:24:01,500
I I don't the the same actual performance, but it boots up quickly, which is sick

239
00:24:02,780 --> 00:24:06,460
And there's a line in here that says I suspect apple had a bit more of an r&d budget

240
00:24:07,420 --> 00:24:11,660
This is a note from alex clark from our team. He says seriously watch the video

241
00:24:12,220 --> 00:24:17,180
I learned things about how laptops are made and I think I have and i'm gonna editorialize here

242
00:24:17,660 --> 00:24:22,060
I agree alex and above average understanding of laptops

243
00:24:22,140 --> 00:24:30,380
Yeah, I learned a lot to the point where like i'm planning on Watching the video again because there was parts in there that I thought were like really interesting and I want to absorb it better

244
00:24:30,460 --> 00:24:36,060
Okay, now our first discussion question. I am hijacking this completely because you and I have talked

245
00:24:36,860 --> 00:24:42,620
Many times yes about building your own laptop and how it kind of used to be a thing

246
00:24:42,860 --> 00:24:46,700
Yeah, like you could buy a bare bones laptop and you could you could pick a

247
00:24:47,260 --> 00:24:51,820
Socketed CPU and RAM and storage and in the case of the one that I

248
00:24:52,220 --> 00:24:58,620
Yes, di wide for myself for first year university. You could configure it with alternative battery packs

249
00:24:58,700 --> 00:25:05,020
So I had like a like a caboose ass battery pack that stuck out of the bottom of my laptop

250
00:25:05,020 --> 00:25:12,380
And actually put it up at an incline. No, no not that one That was the ace or aspire one that I've extended battery. I got later. Sorry. No, this one came out the back straight

251
00:25:12,860 --> 00:25:17,340
It was an m5ne like bare bones ASUS laptop. Anyway

252
00:25:18,780 --> 00:25:22,940
And you and I have talked about it and we've kind of talked about how like that's that's dead

253
00:25:23,260 --> 00:25:27,900
You know, everything is so integrated now that building your own laptop is dead

254
00:25:27,900 --> 00:25:34,940
We'll stay dead the fact that companies like NVIDIA are actively hostile towards it by trying to kill the mx

255
00:25:35,020 --> 00:25:41,500
m Like mobile graphics card standard over and over and over again at every possible opportunity makes it

256
00:25:43,340 --> 00:25:51,020
Guess not because someone's senior high school project is just going to demolish that except here's something that I didn't see coming

257
00:25:52,300 --> 00:25:58,780
Instead of having modularity, right and generic chassis and socketable CPU's and socketable RAM and

258
00:25:59,100 --> 00:26:02,860
And socketable storage or you know slotable storage or whatever, right?

259
00:26:03,180 --> 00:26:11,260
So we saw all of that go tightly integrated and we lamented the death of a you know, diy laptop

260
00:26:11,900 --> 00:26:15,900
But then it got so much more integrated

261
00:26:16,540 --> 00:26:21,260
That now you could take a full system on a chip or system on a module in this case

262
00:26:22,380 --> 00:26:25,340
And build a chassis around it and holy crap you could build your own laptop again

263
00:26:25,420 --> 00:26:29,500
And now that Windows on ARM is a thing theoretically

264
00:26:29,500 --> 00:26:32,780
like you You could run like full fat freaking

265
00:26:33,340 --> 00:26:36,700
Windows and and not and hand it to someone and have them not even notice

266
00:26:37,180 --> 00:26:43,100
Right and like okay eventually someone would probably you don't notice they go to run an app that the emulation doesn't work for whatever else

267
00:26:43,100 --> 00:26:47,100
But I'm just saying like this could be a computer that you could hand to your auntie

268
00:26:48,060 --> 00:26:52,780
And she could just use and you've built it. Yeah, this is so cool

269
00:26:52,860 --> 00:26:57,100
I I just I didn't see this coming and honestly like yeah, you don't you don't have crazy GPU power

270
00:26:57,100 --> 00:27:01,340
Like he's talking about some of the limitations. He played this isn't in the notes But I'm just trying to remember from last night

271
00:27:01,340 --> 00:27:04,460
So I might say some things that are slightly wrong because I watched this video, but um

272
00:27:05,020 --> 00:27:09,260
He was he was playing minecraft on it like it can play and I know yeah minecraft plays on your phone

273
00:27:09,900 --> 00:27:14,300
But it can play games. So what that's so cool. That's where the hardware is at now

274
00:27:14,540 --> 00:27:17,740
A big flex for him as far as I could tell was the npu more

275
00:27:17,980 --> 00:27:21,900
I don't I don't feel personally like he really made this thing as a gaming machine

276
00:27:22,060 --> 00:27:27,260
And not every device that you have has to be a gaming machine. He's got that npu in there. He can do some ai stuff with it

277
00:27:27,420 --> 00:27:33,420
That's cool. Um, it's it's highly functional a lot of like what I use like my my work desktop

278
00:27:33,740 --> 00:27:37,740
My worst desktop just needs a functional CPU and some RAM like

279
00:27:38,460 --> 00:27:41,980
I'm on the browser all the time Um

280
00:27:41,980 --> 00:27:45,260
Yeah, but does it play crisis all this is so cool

281
00:27:46,220 --> 00:27:51,340
Second discussion question should we throw some money behind a v2 at the end?

282
00:27:51,340 --> 00:27:54,300
We're listed as one of the inspirations for the project

283
00:27:55,100 --> 00:28:01,340
That's sick. I mean sure he did shout out the nas in the video. That's so cool. Yeah, no, I mean the song. Yeah, uh

284
00:28:02,220 --> 00:28:07,260
Dan do you mind just throwing a we don't we don't know if he wants that. Yeah. Oh, yeah

285
00:28:07,340 --> 00:28:11,180
We have we have absolutely no idea and he might not even want to do a v2

286
00:28:11,180 --> 00:28:15,260
I mean he it's clearly might be moving on to something else. Clearly a super talented kid

287
00:28:15,260 --> 00:28:18,460
I'm sure you could figure out something else cool to to create but like

288
00:28:18,860 --> 00:28:23,420
I would I would absolutely be down to do like uh, like a like a small sponsorship

289
00:28:23,500 --> 00:28:30,700
But I mean even if he's just like, yeah, could I just like Get a mod mad and get a bunch of like LTT gear or like, you know, whatever else or you know

290
00:28:31,580 --> 00:28:37,420
Dude, I'd Yeah, sure. Cool. This is awesome. I I I'm pretty sure I commented on the video

291
00:28:37,500 --> 00:28:42,140
Like this is this is the type of stuff that I really like finding on youtube

292
00:28:42,300 --> 00:28:47,740
Yeah, like this is this is the the like a little rewarding nugget that youtube's like you watched a bunch of garbage that I sent you

293
00:28:47,740 --> 00:28:54,140
Here's a here's the thing that you want now Um, I I really hope he keeps making content of some kind

294
00:28:54,460 --> 00:28:58,460
Or just keeps making cool stuff like if someone like an apple or a dell or

295
00:28:59,180 --> 00:29:04,300
Framework dude, somebody's got to pick this guy if somebody if somebody picks this guy up then I just I want to see him

296
00:29:05,180 --> 00:29:11,100
I want to see him create something amazing Dan if you could just fire it over to I think, uh, Sean C

297
00:29:11,580 --> 00:29:14,780
Is handling like sponsorships and stuff like that

298
00:29:15,580 --> 00:29:21,180
So just fire that over there that I consider it green lit for us to you know, do something if he if he wants to do something

299
00:29:21,660 --> 00:29:24,540
So cool though. Yeah, I think I think

300
00:29:25,340 --> 00:29:29,980
You know the video especially because it's his second video. I think video was hosted really well

301
00:29:30,620 --> 00:29:34,940
I think he has creator chops he could go that route or yeah, if like a framework or someone else wants to pick him up

302
00:29:35,100 --> 00:29:37,100
Yeah, this this dude's going to kill it

303
00:29:38,540 --> 00:29:46,780
What do you want to talk about next My next one was, uh, the GPU stuff man. Really? Oh, okay, sure. We can we can jump into something

304
00:29:46,860 --> 00:29:48,860
You haven't talked about gpus enough this week

305
00:29:50,460 --> 00:29:54,620
It was a pretty exciting week that 5090 review was

306
00:29:55,100 --> 00:30:01,900
Thick, yeah, like it's I think it's 22 or seem killed it 22 or 23 minutes long or something like that and

307
00:30:02,460 --> 00:30:06,780
Not a dull moment at all. Like I was doing script review with adam

308
00:30:07,180 --> 00:30:12,060
Um, I ended up reviewing probably about 80 of the script before I went in for my procedure

309
00:30:12,620 --> 00:30:16,620
And uh, then they finished up the rest when I was in the twilight zone

310
00:30:17,020 --> 00:30:21,580
um And I was going I was going through it with them like good lord, dude

311
00:30:21,900 --> 00:30:27,660
Like a lot of the time my job as as an editor is to is to cut just cut cut cut

312
00:30:28,220 --> 00:30:31,660
Keep it focused. I mean I talked about this at length on the colon and smear podcast

313
00:30:31,740 --> 00:30:35,100
But like what is our point? Don't waste the audience's time

314
00:30:35,100 --> 00:30:39,580
Like all of these things are so important to the way that we create content and the way that we communicate

315
00:30:40,140 --> 00:30:46,940
Our message whether it's you know, is this GPU any good or you know, how do you how do you scrap yard war together yourself?

316
00:30:46,940 --> 00:30:53,740
Like a cheap gaming pc The 69 dollar gaming pc is making a return. Nice and it's better than ever

317
00:30:54,460 --> 00:30:57,820
Pretty exciting. Anyway, we're shooting that interesting. Yeah. Anyway

318
00:30:58,140 --> 00:31:04,460
Um, the point is that that's my job is to go through and and edit down for clarity for conciseness

319
00:31:06,540 --> 00:31:11,180
I think I ended up adding word count because I was just like, oh my goodness. There's dense

320
00:31:11,500 --> 00:31:14,300
There is so much here and I applaud

321
00:31:14,860 --> 00:31:18,060
Anyone in the audience who managed to make it through the whole video

322
00:31:18,460 --> 00:31:23,340
Because the thing is there's a ton of nuance in it and there's a ton like it's a

323
00:31:24,220 --> 00:31:30,780
I I watched it back Twice actually wants to review it for release. Um, and then that was at like

324
00:31:32,060 --> 00:31:36,700
I want to say like three in the morning or something like that. So I like I got the call and I'm like

325
00:31:37,420 --> 00:31:41,100
Yeah, I had my laptop next to my bed because I knew it was coming. I'm like, okay

326
00:31:41,180 --> 00:31:47,020
Yeah, here's a couple notes and then and then once again when I was in my right state of mind and um

327
00:31:48,060 --> 00:31:55,180
And what I noticed about it was Good lord was the cognitive load of watching that video. Yeah. Hi. Yeah

328
00:31:55,500 --> 00:31:58,940
Because you had to not only just like kind of listen to us say yeah, this is good

329
00:31:59,340 --> 00:32:05,820
You had to listen to our opinion about whether something was good or bad or somewhere in between

330
00:32:06,220 --> 00:32:11,420
And then you had to listen to the nuance and the explanation for why that opinion is not black and white because

331
00:32:11,820 --> 00:32:15,020
I mean, we talked about this a little bit. I think last week, you know

332
00:32:15,660 --> 00:32:18,460
Fake frames versus real frames that whole conversation

333
00:32:19,980 --> 00:32:25,980
It's complicated, man before that. But yeah, it's complicated, man. It's not as simple as like

334
00:32:26,700 --> 00:32:33,020
High fp, you know a high FPS number more better more good or or low more worse or like we had that one chart

335
00:32:33,340 --> 00:32:37,420
um That kind of we like we kind of like drop. It's almost like this like

336
00:32:38,220 --> 00:32:43,820
We put this chart on the table that all of a sudden has a four x multi-frame gen

337
00:32:44,300 --> 00:32:49,100
On the same chart with the regular 50 90 that was nuts. And one of the things that in my

338
00:32:50,060 --> 00:32:54,620
In spite of being not in a very good state of mind because it was in the middle of the morning

339
00:32:55,260 --> 00:32:58,780
One of the things that I noticed I was like, dude, we've got to like highlight more

340
00:32:59,420 --> 00:33:07,660
that this is This is mfg and that's kind of our point is that this is clearly ludicrous and not comparable to everything else that's here

341
00:33:08,140 --> 00:33:11,500
um, and so it's it's just it's one of those videos that um,

342
00:33:12,060 --> 00:33:16,220
I really enjoyed It made me think and understand even though

343
00:33:17,100 --> 00:33:22,780
Like I'm kind of having to put myself back into if I hadn't already script reviewed and looked at embodies materials and all those things

344
00:33:23,340 --> 00:33:26,540
But it made me think and it made me understand better and I thought

345
00:33:27,500 --> 00:33:31,180
The thing that stood out to me the best was what an incredible job the team did

346
00:33:31,820 --> 00:33:34,380
In spite of my relatively minimal involvement

347
00:33:35,180 --> 00:33:39,420
I did review most of the script I did work on titling

348
00:33:39,660 --> 00:33:43,820
intro angle Um, I obviously hosted little bits of it including

349
00:33:44,540 --> 00:33:48,300
By the way, I have zero recollection bonkers bought that really nothing

350
00:33:48,940 --> 00:33:54,300
Absolutely nothing. Uh, we have a we have an exclusive on Floatplane like a behind the scenes

351
00:33:54,540 --> 00:33:59,340
um Of me having my procedure done, which I guess we can talk about a little bit more later

352
00:34:00,620 --> 00:34:05,900
But I watching this back is wild dude because I'm just like I haven't seen it

353
00:34:05,980 --> 00:34:11,340
You know, I don't drink and I don't drugs so I don't have any experience of watching myself do something that I

354
00:34:12,620 --> 00:34:15,900
Have absolutely like I've definitely watched myself do stuff

355
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:19,660
I don't remember because it's a video from 17 years ago or whatever, but it's different

356
00:34:19,660 --> 00:34:25,260
It's like watching myself do something that I don't recall. But yeah, that seems plausible enough

357
00:34:25,500 --> 00:34:28,060
Whereas here I'm behaving in in a way that is just

358
00:34:29,260 --> 00:34:31,260
It's me, but it's like

359
00:34:32,620 --> 00:34:39,100
Loopy me. Anyway, interesting. Yeah, I was I was I was watching back. I was I was telling Yvonne man. I'm I'm pretty funny when I'm high

360
00:34:43,580 --> 00:34:46,860
Anywho the um, did she appreciate the humor?

361
00:34:47,340 --> 00:34:51,980
Yeah, I mean she was trying to wrangle me and also make a video and like keep me safe

362
00:34:51,980 --> 00:34:55,020
So I think she was a little stressed, but I think after the fact maybe

363
00:34:55,980 --> 00:35:01,180
Um, anyway, what I was going to say was what an incredible job the team did putting that together that

364
00:35:01,660 --> 00:35:05,100
Man, that makes this place feel less like Linus and more like media group

365
00:35:05,980 --> 00:35:08,060
Um, yeah, I I had a weird

366
00:35:09,820 --> 00:35:15,340
In watching it and I don't know if this is going to land with everybody but it landed with me for whatever reason in watching it

367
00:35:15,580 --> 00:35:26,380
It felt Man, I don't want to pay fan service to this idea. Um, not in quality. It felt incredibly higher in quality to be very clear

368
00:35:26,620 --> 00:35:31,180
but it felt uh Old LTT ish because you intro it

369
00:35:31,900 --> 00:35:35,500
And then we went to people that were specializing in that at the time

370
00:35:35,820 --> 00:35:40,220
Because that's what we used to do. Yeah for GPU videos when I first started hosting GPU videos

371
00:35:40,300 --> 00:35:44,380
I did not solo host the video Linus would intro it and talk about the features

372
00:35:44,620 --> 00:35:48,300
And then I would jump in and talk about the benchmarks. That's how we started

373
00:35:48,300 --> 00:35:55,900
So jumping in and having it go like like Dan for instance talking about the ai part because Dan does ai things and like all the like, uh,

374
00:35:56,780 --> 00:36:02,220
David talking about the the dlsf stuff because he just made a video on force dlsf in indiana jones

375
00:36:02,460 --> 00:36:06,780
Like all these things are just like wow, this is really cool. This is what the vision has always

376
00:36:07,260 --> 00:36:10,460
Supposed to be dude, all of her over killed it killed it

377
00:36:11,260 --> 00:36:15,820
Like I he did such a good job section. I was just like wow like this is really pro

378
00:36:16,300 --> 00:36:18,860
He absolutely killed it. Yeah

379
00:36:20,220 --> 00:36:28,220
Man, I I don't know I I am having a proud dad moment right now. This was this was this was very cool for real

380
00:36:28,300 --> 00:36:32,460
This was really and and it's one of those things where I sent this message internally already

381
00:36:33,180 --> 00:36:36,860
So I'm not saying anything that any staff won't have seen already or if they didn't see it

382
00:36:36,940 --> 00:36:40,940
Then I'm glad you're seeing it here. Uh, but what I said was like this is the vision

383
00:36:41,740 --> 00:36:47,900
This is what this company is supposed to do when absolutely everything is firing on all cylinders

384
00:36:47,980 --> 00:36:54,300
Yeah, and I will I'm gonna step in and Linus kind of said my line in the intro, but there was there was errors with it. Um

385
00:36:55,820 --> 00:37:01,100
Most of them were pretty minor. There was one that really kind of sucked. Um, we're working on fixing them and they're pinned in the comments

386
00:37:01,420 --> 00:37:07,020
Yeah, um, and we've never we've never seen video was fantastic and we're gonna have some amount of problems

387
00:37:07,020 --> 00:37:10,700
Yeah, we've never claimed to be perfect, but what we will do is we will keep doing better. Yeah

388
00:37:11,180 --> 00:37:14,860
We will keep working hard. We'll keep doing better and the error rate will not be zero

389
00:37:14,860 --> 00:37:19,100
We're gonna have some kind of problems till the end of our time, but that's just you know, we'll keep working on

390
00:37:19,660 --> 00:37:23,420
improving. Yeah, it is what it is Super cool. I'm very happy with it. Um

391
00:37:24,060 --> 00:37:28,540
We managed to pivot the discussion to GPU's and not actually talk about the GPU at all

392
00:37:28,540 --> 00:37:32,620
Instead we just patted ourselves on the back for six minutes. So do you want to talk about the GPU at all?

393
00:37:33,340 --> 00:37:38,140
Uh What's in these notes here the 5090 reviews are out. I watched a bunch of them

394
00:37:38,460 --> 00:37:43,820
Super interesting just like I expected a lot of people took different angles with it tested different things

395
00:37:44,060 --> 00:37:47,820
This is a generation that i'm going to say again. Go watch other people's reviews

396
00:37:48,220 --> 00:37:53,660
Um go read other people's reviews go do whatever, right? Um, it's uh,

397
00:37:54,300 --> 00:37:59,420
It's it's very interesting. The whole story is not out there even with all the reviews that are out there in my opinion

398
00:37:59,660 --> 00:38:03,180
I think this is gonna evolve and show its head more over time

399
00:38:03,580 --> 00:38:08,540
Um as these different technologies are used more as we're able to see it in more scenarios stuff like that

400
00:38:08,860 --> 00:38:14,780
Um, I also think as the as the continuation of card embargoes come we'll learn more and more

401
00:38:15,100 --> 00:38:21,420
Um, but yeah, it's it's super interesting reviewing GPU's is changing significantly because of all these

402
00:38:21,900 --> 00:38:25,500
um You know ai software features and everything else, but anyways

403
00:38:26,140 --> 00:38:32,540
Uh AMD rx 90 70 is delayed. It is apparently releasing or launching march second

404
00:38:32,860 --> 00:38:38,700
The company sites software optimization for fsr4 as the two reasons

405
00:38:39,580 --> 00:38:47,100
Oh Uh good old brain, uh the company sites software optimization and fsr4 as the two reasons why

406
00:38:47,580 --> 00:38:50,860
It most likely decided to delay the launch of rdna 4

407
00:38:51,020 --> 00:38:56,860
Did you see some of the ad campaigns that went live? Like in like non-north american regions that were like, no

408
00:38:59,420 --> 00:39:03,740
That's rough. Yeah, I mean honestly though

409
00:39:03,740 --> 00:39:08,060
This is one of those things where it would be really easy for us to dog pile on them and go like oh

410
00:39:08,220 --> 00:39:10,860
AMD software not ready AMD this AMD that but like

411
00:39:11,740 --> 00:39:20,060
good Let them cook. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, like some of the leaks that i've seen seem to indicate that this is going to be a really

412
00:39:20,380 --> 00:39:25,980
Valid card like it might not be it might not appease every possible buyer at every price tier

413
00:39:26,380 --> 00:39:29,740
But it looks like it will be hopefully a really valid option

414
00:39:30,140 --> 00:39:38,060
And if that's the case then Let them cook. Yeah, get it done. Yeah, and then when it's done, let's have a look at it and hopefully it's awesome and we

415
00:39:38,620 --> 00:39:44,540
I support the delay for sure. Yeah, because I mean here's the thing like i'm rooting for everybody in the GPU space

416
00:39:44,940 --> 00:39:48,300
I'm rooting for Intel obviously who's been bringing it at the low end

417
00:39:48,300 --> 00:39:52,140
I'm rooting for AMD who has been the only force even

418
00:39:52,940 --> 00:39:57,340
Remotely sort of keeping NVIDIA honest and i'm rooting for NVIDIA too

419
00:39:58,060 --> 00:40:01,740
Because I want better GPU's and you need that competition

420
00:40:01,980 --> 00:40:08,220
I don't want anyone to be in a completely dominant position because that's bad for the whole industry and it's bad for the consumer

421
00:40:08,460 --> 00:40:13,100
So this is exciting. I will also say uh in in support of them delay

422
00:40:13,580 --> 00:40:16,700
Uh, what I what I heard from the team all week was that

423
00:40:17,260 --> 00:40:20,220
The the driver in the card everything felt very stable

424
00:40:21,660 --> 00:40:26,540
So it wasn't it wasn't a problem, uh, which you know, I I appreciate that

425
00:40:27,100 --> 00:40:33,820
um AMD's vice president and general manager of the Ryzen CPU and radion graphics division explains more in

426
00:40:34,700 --> 00:40:36,700
this tweet

427
00:40:38,060 --> 00:40:46,300
This one I really appreciate the excitement for rdna 4 we're focused on ensuring we deliver a great set of products with the radion 9000 series

428
00:40:46,460 --> 00:40:51,900
We're taking a little extra time to optimize the software stack for maximum performance and enable more fsr4 titles

429
00:40:52,140 --> 00:40:55,660
We also have a wide range of partners launching radion 9000 series cards

430
00:40:55,900 --> 00:41:03,820
And while some have started building initial inventory at retailers, you should expect many more partner cards available at launch

431
00:41:04,380 --> 00:41:07,340
um and then there's

432
00:41:07,900 --> 00:41:12,540
There's some indication that late january was the initial plan for the rx 9000 series launch

433
00:41:12,860 --> 00:41:16,140
It's possible that AMD might also have wanted to see how NVIDIA's

434
00:41:16,940 --> 00:41:20,620
rtx 5070 ti will fare when it hits the market in february

435
00:41:20,860 --> 00:41:28,940
Now back to invidia invidia removed the hotspot sensor for the 50 90s video cards reported on this and um

436
00:41:29,100 --> 00:41:33,500
der bauer spoke about the issue in a recent video and reached out to invidia for comment

437
00:41:34,300 --> 00:41:40,780
invidia first told him that the new rtx 5000 series GPU's now report memory temperatures instead

438
00:41:41,100 --> 00:41:46,540
But this was already possible with earlier cards including the rtx 4090 and rtx 30. Yeah

439
00:41:46,540 --> 00:41:49,580
I thought that basically happened once we got temp probes in the memory chips

440
00:41:49,740 --> 00:41:58,220
I think so as well. Okay, uh after further probing they reportedly told him that API changes mean that the hotspot temperature is no longer accurate or

441
00:41:58,540 --> 00:42:05,020
relevant for Uh gamers, but didn't go into further detail. That's this is something. I really don't like um

442
00:42:05,980 --> 00:42:10,140
I mean, it's one thing if they you know want to put a disclaimer on it or something like that but

443
00:42:10,940 --> 00:42:13,440
Clearly invidia saw fit to put that

444
00:42:14,380 --> 00:42:18,540
Sensor in the chip at some point and as someone who has personally

445
00:42:18,940 --> 00:42:25,420
Relyed on hotspot to diagnose issues in the past. I I really I really don't like this. Um all

446
00:42:26,140 --> 00:42:32,380
I shouldn't say all I mean technically the 8800 gtx had an ihs on it, but but functionally speaking

447
00:42:32,940 --> 00:42:35,980
All GPU's are bear die chips

448
00:42:36,460 --> 00:42:40,700
And if you have even the the slightest mounting error

449
00:42:41,100 --> 00:42:46,940
Um, they can they can not only you know run a little hot or not perform properly or whatever

450
00:42:47,020 --> 00:42:50,540
But they they could they can cook himself um

451
00:42:50,540 --> 00:42:55,580
And like if there's if there's an area where there's like an air gap which which will act as an insulator and so

452
00:42:56,700 --> 00:43:04,380
When you have the hotspot temp It tends to be from from my experience a little bit more sensitive to a slight mismount

453
00:43:05,180 --> 00:43:10,540
Um, and it can make it and if you see a huge disparity between the die temp and the hotspot temp

454
00:43:10,620 --> 00:43:14,780
It can indicate Um a mounting issue so you can kind of quickly get the card pulled off

455
00:43:15,180 --> 00:43:19,260
I get get the cooler remounted and then get back to it. Um

456
00:43:19,900 --> 00:43:25,180
I I don't have a lot of experience because I was out of the testing game for all the generations that had hotspot sensors

457
00:43:25,260 --> 00:43:27,740
Yeah, um, but they seemed cool

458
00:43:28,300 --> 00:43:30,300
Um

459
00:43:32,460 --> 00:43:35,020
I don't know what this comment is necessarily about but i'm going to just go for it

460
00:43:35,500 --> 00:43:39,100
First the 5090 die size itself is huge so the oh yeah

461
00:43:39,180 --> 00:43:43,980
So the temperature you'll see reported by tools such as GPU z will be an average across the die

462
00:43:44,220 --> 00:43:49,980
Meaning the temperature recorded won't be the same across the entire surface. It's just the the average

463
00:43:50,460 --> 00:43:54,700
um Moving on NVIDIA shows off a weird prototype a

464
00:43:55,340 --> 00:43:58,140
Titan design which some people have been calling a 5090 ti

465
00:43:58,540 --> 00:44:01,420
Uh with pcb on the oh that

466
00:44:01,900 --> 00:44:08,620
No, yeah, 5090 ti. I thought this no this was rumored to be more of like a I think there's a different rumor about a 5090 ti that I saw

467
00:44:09,340 --> 00:44:14,220
I saw yeah, no, this was a 40 series slash titan prototype. Okay, so yeah, this is not what I thought

468
00:44:14,220 --> 00:44:17,340
I think we talked about this on wanshow, but I just want to say

469
00:44:17,980 --> 00:44:21,340
um This is pretty cool

470
00:44:22,140 --> 00:44:28,700
This leaked like ages ago and was the first indication that we saw that at least to my knowledge

471
00:44:28,700 --> 00:44:35,180
It was the first indication It's it's one of the first indications that we saw that NVIDIA was considering an unconventional

472
00:44:35,820 --> 00:44:43,340
PCB design for an upcoming card and this was rumored to be uh like a 4090 ti or like a 40 series

473
00:44:43,900 --> 00:44:46,940
Titan card of some sort and um

474
00:44:47,580 --> 00:44:59,500
Yeah, there there we go. So it put a vertical Vertical pcb in it so that it could make much much more effective use of the shape of the GPU to blow air up this way

475
00:44:59,900 --> 00:45:04,540
Okay, so they're blowing air up this way I mean the idea is is pretty simple, right?

476
00:45:04,860 --> 00:45:08,540
If you're if you've got a flat thing and you're blowing air against it

477
00:45:08,860 --> 00:45:15,660
You are effectively working against your own cooling fans and you can do things like you can you can angle

478
00:45:16,140 --> 00:45:21,500
What you're blowing against so it kind of goes this way and you can you can lift the heat sink stack

479
00:45:21,900 --> 00:45:27,340
off of the pcb So it can kind of make its way out and through and around but at the end of the day

480
00:45:27,580 --> 00:45:34,540
You're blowing air into a flat surface, which is going to significantly harm your ability to cool your fin stack

481
00:45:35,020 --> 00:45:39,020
um So this seemed like a really cool way to tackle that by

482
00:45:39,740 --> 00:45:43,580
Here you go, uh putting the card on a little like daughter pcb

483
00:45:43,980 --> 00:45:49,740
And then you can see here the frame for where the cooler is just kind of blowing through it like that and then using some combination of

484
00:45:50,460 --> 00:45:54,460
Like heat pipes or vapor chambers to move all the heat out into the fin stack

485
00:45:54,940 --> 00:46:01,260
um When this first leaked it was like, whoa, that would be that would be super super cool

486
00:46:01,740 --> 00:46:06,700
I guess but like good lord our GPU is really going to go to four slots thick

487
00:46:07,740 --> 00:46:12,220
And it seems like NVIDIA Did the same introspection. Yeah

488
00:46:12,460 --> 00:46:16,620
And was like could there possibly I mean if we're going to do this daughter board thing anyway

489
00:46:17,820 --> 00:46:22,380
Could there possibly be another way and floating in the middle was a wild move very cool

490
00:46:22,460 --> 00:46:26,700
The answer is yes, and I think it's so cool I don't know why

491
00:46:26,700 --> 00:46:32,780
The 5090 surprised me so much because if you go back to some of their older designs, especially their dual GPU designs

492
00:46:32,780 --> 00:46:37,260
Like do you remember the 7950 gx2? I mean, yeah

493
00:46:37,260 --> 00:46:41,260
This thing this thing was flipping wild. Look at this thing. Here we go. Let's pull up some

494
00:46:41,340 --> 00:46:49,580
Let's pull up some images. Look at this thing This thing's cray-cray. So it's got the main pcb here that plugs into your PCIe slot

495
00:46:50,140 --> 00:46:53,340
Um, and then it's got a built-in sli bridge

496
00:46:53,580 --> 00:46:58,060
Which if I recall correctly is like back here somewhere and then it's got a second

497
00:46:59,020 --> 00:47:06,540
7000 series GPU on here And then you can actually it has a an sli finger still so you can run quad sli with two of these

498
00:47:06,860 --> 00:47:11,340
I didn't know that at least you could it's crazy. I never realized that. Yeah, that thing was freaking wild

499
00:47:11,980 --> 00:47:15,900
Okay, I knew it was it was too sandwiched. I didn't realize you could I mean it makes sense

500
00:47:15,900 --> 00:47:24,780
But I didn't realize you could just buy two of those and have four Okay, dalxy here brings up a really interesting conversation that I'd love to pivot to if we kind of think we're done talking about

501
00:47:25,180 --> 00:47:31,820
The cool. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, essentially the conclusion is this generation is wild go watch everybody's video if you have time

502
00:47:32,060 --> 00:47:34,620
Yeah, cool. So dalxy asks

503
00:47:35,100 --> 00:47:38,700
At luke at Linus. Can we bring back sli for the 5090 lull?

504
00:47:40,300 --> 00:47:46,700
Okay, here is a wild take that i'm sure is going to get clipped out of context and get me cancelled

505
00:47:49,260 --> 00:47:54,700
Not again the 5090 For NVIDIA's most affluent game and customers

506
00:47:55,420 --> 00:47:57,900
The 5090 is is a great value

507
00:47:59,500 --> 00:48:05,900
Here wait for it wait for it wait for it Think of the 5090. I mean, there's no there's no process node shrink

508
00:48:06,540 --> 00:48:11,180
Right, so it's you could kind of think of it as as as 40

509
00:48:12,460 --> 00:48:19,180
More more er like kind of 90ti plus plus plus an extension of the previous generation with some extra stuff bolted onto it

510
00:48:19,740 --> 00:48:23,100
And if you think about it that way well

511
00:48:23,100 --> 00:48:26,140
For the people that are like yo bring back sli

512
00:48:27,340 --> 00:48:30,540
What are you better off with a second 4090?

513
00:48:31,260 --> 00:48:38,140
Or a 5090 If all you're gonna get is about 30 more performance, wouldn't you rather have it for another 400?

514
00:48:39,260 --> 00:48:43,500
Would you rather have it for another 400 bucks compared to another 1600 dollars?

515
00:48:43,580 --> 00:48:48,700
All right, I don't even think I need to miss quote you to get you cancelled for that. I think i'm leaving. Have a good night guys

516
00:48:48,860 --> 00:48:53,660
Yeah, have a good one Dan. Bye. I'll give you a reference. Anyway, but but kind of back to back to serious

517
00:48:53,660 --> 00:48:59,660
Yeah, yeah For for the associated for the people out there that were buying, you know

518
00:48:59,900 --> 00:49:05,260
239 ti's which was the last card that supported sli or going even further back for the people that were buying, you know

519
00:49:05,420 --> 00:49:09,180
228 ti's or you know two two titan blacks or whatever in sli

520
00:49:09,820 --> 00:49:19,740
um Honestly, I think I would I think I'd rather have a slightly bigger monolithic GPU that consistently gets me better performance than one that will

521
00:49:19,740 --> 00:49:23,100
Occasionally nearly double my performance but more often than not

522
00:49:23,820 --> 00:49:28,700
More often than not run at the same performance for double the power consumption and microstutter all over the place

523
00:49:29,020 --> 00:49:33,820
I guess what i'm trying to say is no sli isn't coming back

524
00:49:34,140 --> 00:49:39,980
And that's probably an okay or even good thing put more transistors on this chip

525
00:49:40,220 --> 00:49:46,380
But with that said it's not that NVIDIA has completely abandoned high speed interconnects between their GPU's

526
00:49:46,700 --> 00:49:54,940
Like if anything nv72 like their data center stuff is doubling tripling quadrupling down on what they started with sli

527
00:49:55,500 --> 00:50:00,140
It's just that now in order to build that high speed connectivity into the GPU

528
00:50:00,700 --> 00:50:04,620
In order to have it operate fast enough that those GPU's can act as one

529
00:50:05,020 --> 00:50:12,700
It takes up so much die area and is so therefore expensive that it makes no sense to build it into every single consumer card

530
00:50:13,180 --> 00:50:17,740
knowing that only a tiny fraction of the people who

531
00:50:17,980 --> 00:50:21,340
Luke just mocked for being willing to spend

532
00:50:22,060 --> 00:50:25,260
That much more for a slight performance gain. Well, no, it does depend

533
00:50:25,340 --> 00:50:30,460
I it was I think it was said well in our video right if you're using money to make this thing then sure

534
00:50:30,620 --> 00:50:35,660
No, no, no, no, I was talking about the sli argument. Ah, like the same people who would go and spend double for that

535
00:50:36,780 --> 00:50:40,940
Yeah, I'd much rather they go and spend a little bit more for 50 90 100 percent

536
00:50:41,500 --> 00:50:47,260
100 percent so for those small handful of people that are wild enough to go and do that

537
00:50:48,140 --> 00:50:51,900
Yeah, I'd rather they haven't seen probably what they're buying anyways and for everyone else

538
00:50:51,980 --> 00:50:56,140
Yeah, honestly, I think I would rather NVIDIA doesn't just make the thing more expensive

539
00:50:56,780 --> 00:51:03,580
Um, and and it sucks, right? But the reason sli worked was because with the old interconnects and the old bridges

540
00:51:04,540 --> 00:51:07,180
They weren't that high speed the cost wasn't that high

541
00:51:07,660 --> 00:51:14,780
But as resolutions of our monitors went up as the amount of data flowing between the GPU's increased

542
00:51:15,580 --> 00:51:22,860
astonishingly It just couldn't keep up. It just couldn't do it without the cost not making any sense anymore. So that's my that's my conclusion

543
00:51:23,260 --> 00:51:31,580
no sli is gone and The 50 90 for those folks that would have bought sli I stand by this way better value

544
00:51:32,300 --> 00:51:35,100
Uh aj not rj, but yeah full plane

545
00:51:35,500 --> 00:51:43,660
Yeah, anyways, uh said instead of sli I would rather see the ability to split a single card across multiple users either in vm environment or multi user game pc me too

546
00:51:44,220 --> 00:51:49,820
Um, that's there that thing. No, no, it's totally a thing GPU virtualization is a hundred percent. I think what's the name of um

547
00:51:51,580 --> 00:51:57,500
There's a particular piece of software Oh, I know the one that does something hot seat something

548
00:51:57,740 --> 00:52:03,260
I can't remember there's a piece of software that allows you to do it. We haven't really played around with it too much. Yeah. Um, there's a

549
00:52:05,580 --> 00:52:12,460
People are saying someone someone had it at uh at whale reference at otx. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's it's a thing. Uh, we

550
00:52:13,340 --> 00:52:17,980
Okay, I don't want to give away too much, but we might have a new multi gamers

551
00:52:18,780 --> 00:52:24,780
Like kind of thing coming and maybe as part of exploring that again and kind of seeing what the state of things is

552
00:52:24,860 --> 00:52:30,540
We could we could explore that as well. I think that'd be cool But yes, there is there is some really cool slicing stuff

553
00:52:30,700 --> 00:52:33,900
Even though NVIDIA doesn't officially support it on their consumer cards

554
00:52:34,140 --> 00:52:40,860
That was something that I actually chased Intel about a lot back in the lead up to the release of arc alchemist the the original arc

555
00:52:40,940 --> 00:52:45,100
dgpus was like, hey if you guys made this available

556
00:52:45,740 --> 00:52:49,820
To consumers I'd really appreciate that not because I necessarily think

557
00:52:50,300 --> 00:52:55,820
You know the a770 is going to be powerful enough that anyone would really want to split it to two gamers running off of the same

558
00:52:56,220 --> 00:53:02,060
GPU but because I would love to see some pressure on the incumbents to just

559
00:53:02,540 --> 00:53:05,740
Make this feature freaking accessible because there is so much

560
00:53:07,260 --> 00:53:12,860
That consumers can do with CPU virtualization and I would love to see the same kind of

561
00:53:13,580 --> 00:53:18,780
Innovative use cases be possible with GPU virtualization, especially now that they can do

562
00:53:19,580 --> 00:53:24,780
So much other than just you know push FPS in counter strike or whatever

563
00:53:26,380 --> 00:53:30,300
Yeah, so yeah in conclusion Dan. Yeah a hundred percent. It's a thing

564
00:53:30,780 --> 00:53:35,100
And no NVIDIA has absolutely no intention as far as I can tell

565
00:53:35,580 --> 00:53:42,220
Of probably making it accessible on their consumer facing cards a bunch people have said different names of of software solutions in philoplane chat

566
00:53:42,220 --> 00:53:46,940
I don't remember which one and I I don't know anything about it really. I just remember it was in that video

567
00:53:47,340 --> 00:53:53,900
Of last year multi-seat. That's the one. Oh tim in chat says I was the guy at the land. It's astro multi-seat

568
00:53:54,060 --> 00:53:56,860
Okay, there you go. Yeah, so I was remembering him

569
00:53:57,660 --> 00:54:01,500
And and his computer Did he die? Oh my goodness

570
00:54:02,300 --> 00:54:06,780
F Yeah, everyone now. Let's go pay respects

571
00:54:07,740 --> 00:54:12,620
Dan kicks it off. Love it. Love it taking advantage of his lack of stream delay

572
00:54:13,020 --> 00:54:16,460
This guy this guy winning internet points like that. That's dirty pool, sir

573
00:54:18,940 --> 00:54:26,460
All right, what's next mr. Dan I would never be able to tell if the stream went down. Yeah, well, that's no we we have a we have a thing for that

574
00:54:27,660 --> 00:54:29,660
Is it named Dan? No

575
00:54:31,100 --> 00:54:35,100
I guess merch messages. Okay. Well, why don't we explain what a merch message is?

576
00:54:35,500 --> 00:54:39,420
Merch messages are the way to interact with the show just like ryan a

577
00:54:39,740 --> 00:54:44,860
You can head over to lttstore.com and instead of throwing your money at the screen to send a message into the show

578
00:54:45,100 --> 00:54:47,100
You can throw your money at lttstore

579
00:54:48,300 --> 00:54:51,660
In the cart there will be a little box that will leave you a spot to type up a

580
00:54:52,380 --> 00:54:58,780
Merse message a merch message It'll go to producer Dan who will reply to it or will forward it to someone internally who can help you out

581
00:54:58,780 --> 00:55:05,580
Like say for example, apparently sammy or he will curate it for me and luke to respond to on the show

582
00:55:06,140 --> 00:55:13,020
And uh, we've got a a few probably pretty interesting things for the merch message inclined to check out today

583
00:55:13,980 --> 00:55:21,580
We are delaying the launch of the mon mat for now We'll update you guys as soon as we have further information, but we do have some other new stuff

584
00:55:21,660 --> 00:55:27,980
We're launching four new Labs branded items including a zip-up hoodie t-shirt hat

585
00:55:30,460 --> 00:55:35,020
Oh, I did not resize the hat way to go Linus way to be ready for your own show

586
00:55:35,580 --> 00:55:40,060
fantastic Hat and a lanyard that show that sometimes

587
00:55:40,620 --> 00:55:44,940
Simple is best We don't have any data to back up that claim

588
00:55:45,180 --> 00:55:52,940
You will just have to take our word for it I blame arty arty wrote that I just read the thing off of the thing go f*** yourself san diego

589
00:55:53,740 --> 00:55:58,700
Okay, the zip-up hoodie and the t-shirt are simply black with a lab's tag

590
00:55:59,580 --> 00:56:07,900
No flashy logos or outlandish designs just quality cozy materials the hat features an embroidered Labs heat sink logo and

591
00:56:08,620 --> 00:56:13,420
And there it is a little something like that Oh man, and your head will feature hat head after you take it off

592
00:56:13,660 --> 00:56:18,860
And the lanyard is inspired by the Labs phase collection that we released a few months ago with a sleek but colorful design

593
00:56:18,860 --> 00:56:27,180
I really like the phase stuff. Do you have the lanyard here? Uh, it should be oh well. It's on the site. Do you want to pull out the site? Sure in the meantime?

594
00:56:27,500 --> 00:56:31,500
I have another update for you guys Seven months ago

595
00:56:31,500 --> 00:56:38,220
We promised that if you got a hundred thousand likes on the ceo pc build video

596
00:56:38,860 --> 00:56:44,300
Which is here That we would actually make this stupid poster

597
00:56:46,300 --> 00:56:54,220
Oh, no Oh, no, they did it. Oh, no. Why do they keep doing it? I don't know they did it for the rivian

598
00:56:54,540 --> 00:56:58,300
I know they did it for this thing. I know it's it's almost like here

599
00:56:59,260 --> 00:57:06,220
Just hear me out here It's almost like our community might be a bunch of stone cold memers

600
00:57:07,740 --> 00:57:13,180
That I I know I know this is again my second controversial take so far

601
00:57:14,060 --> 00:57:18,060
Going to get me cancelled second second one. I feel like we got to be above that second one

602
00:57:18,780 --> 00:57:23,500
I think they might be stone cold memers anyway

603
00:57:23,820 --> 00:57:32,140
You can get it now at LMG.gg Slash hope it is available in a small art print or a larger print to order poster

604
00:57:36,780 --> 00:57:40,060
If I get one of these and I put it behind my desk it'll just make him like super embarrassed

605
00:57:40,060 --> 00:57:42,860
Yeah, see this this right here really

606
00:57:43,740 --> 00:57:46,060
Like we could put them over all of the Windows

607
00:57:47,900 --> 00:57:49,900
I'm messaging arty

608
00:57:50,940 --> 00:57:55,500
Don't do that just because it's a It's a that sounds expensive and wasteful

609
00:57:55,980 --> 00:58:02,620
Anyway, so that's a thing is the art print in stock. I actually don't know. There's like a little small one you can get

610
00:58:02,700 --> 00:58:08,140
Yeah, yeah, the small one is probably the way that most people are going to want to go. See that's the that's the thing

611
00:58:08,620 --> 00:58:13,420
Uh, I I think Hold on. Yes. Yes. The small one is not back ordered

612
00:58:13,500 --> 00:58:16,700
But the large one is a is like a like a pre-order. It's a print to order

613
00:58:16,700 --> 00:58:22,300
So I like the they do the size reference. They show the small one amongst other things on like the the grid

614
00:58:22,380 --> 00:58:26,140
That's cool. Okay. The last LTT Store thing. I'll get this out of the way really quick

615
00:58:26,940 --> 00:58:33,500
In response to this comment from last week, please sell the carabiners like the replacement zipper pulls as a standalone product

616
00:58:33,500 --> 00:58:37,020
There's so many I want to replace I forgot why we said we wouldn't do it

617
00:58:37,260 --> 00:58:40,780
We said we were never going to do that because deforming the zipper pull to change the carabiner

618
00:58:41,260 --> 00:58:45,980
Can damage the pull and may cause it to break especially on low-grade zippers. It is even a risk with ykk

619
00:58:46,460 --> 00:58:49,980
We don't want to be accountable for zippers breaking on a variety of random products

620
00:58:50,060 --> 00:58:55,980
We are only covering breakage that happens on our own bags because of the failure of the original carabiner zipper pulls

621
00:58:56,460 --> 00:58:59,900
We could technically sell them with a massive disclaimer that it could break

622
00:59:00,300 --> 00:59:07,260
But and this is uh nick light from free to warehouse I think that's a massive risk and sets a horrible precedent and I think that's right. We should

623
00:59:07,900 --> 00:59:11,740
Create products that we can stand behind being used in a way that we can

624
00:59:12,460 --> 00:59:16,780
Realistically anticipate that users are going to use them. Um, okay

625
00:59:17,740 --> 00:59:24,460
Jen hit me Sure thing. Hi Delo. I'm soon leaving behind a decade-long tech career on my own terms

626
00:59:24,780 --> 00:59:30,060
What hobbies or special interests would you recommend to somebody who still wants to keep their feet wet in the tech world?

627
00:59:31,660 --> 00:59:36,140
I mean, that's that's not keep your feet wet. That's keep your feet like in the ocean drenched

628
00:59:38,300 --> 00:59:42,380
I mean, yeah, I think I think that's totally valid. I mean the loves are sick

629
00:59:43,180 --> 00:59:47,900
I want to get a cut my apartment too small. Not enough space. You know what? I

630
00:59:48,940 --> 00:59:52,300
I need to finish. I have plans. I need to finish painting my stupid bike

631
00:59:52,620 --> 00:59:57,260
Um, but like I I think I think painting stupid cool stupid cool. Yes. What's gonna happen first?

632
00:59:57,740 --> 00:59:59,740
I the bike or Final Fantasy 6

633
01:00:01,020 --> 01:00:04,540
Bike I will be you. All right. Yeah, there's no way

634
01:00:04,620 --> 01:00:09,740
I know how far you are and I know how kind of broken the balance is in the pixel remaster. So good luck

635
01:00:10,460 --> 01:00:17,740
Wait, that makes it harder In my opinion, I have I have some strong opinions about the place that made it easier. Yeah, it well depends

636
01:00:17,980 --> 01:00:21,420
Like if you just use cheats, then yes, it's much easier. Oh, I haven't cheated

637
01:00:21,420 --> 01:00:25,660
But if you try to play I haven't cheated and I haven't wiped yet. Yeah, if you try to play properly

638
01:00:26,460 --> 01:00:30,140
Then yeah, it could be boy. Howdy. It's gotten close. Yeah, I think

639
01:00:31,180 --> 01:00:35,660
In pushing to not wipe. I've probably done bad things with my economy

640
01:00:36,460 --> 01:00:42,540
It could be it might not matter. It's been money on potions and stuff. Uh, it shouldn't matter. Okay. Yeah, but any who any who, um

641
01:00:43,820 --> 01:00:49,100
Yeah, painting. It's super cool. You should wipe. Oh my god. I meant, you know, no, not that. Um

642
01:00:50,060 --> 01:00:54,060
He means be annihilated anyway

643
01:00:54,060 --> 01:01:01,020
I kind of want to Me after Chipotle me trying to keep the show on track. Good lord. You guys this guy this guy

644
01:01:01,660 --> 01:01:04,860
What do people even tune into this thing for I don't know anymore

645
01:01:06,620 --> 01:01:08,620
It's monkey circus

646
01:01:12,060 --> 01:01:14,780
Okay, sorry, I just that just caught me off guard

647
01:01:15,580 --> 01:01:19,820
So I want to get into casting Oh, yeah, what?

648
01:01:19,820 --> 01:01:24,300
Yeah Like I I I did it. I did a class once in high school

649
01:01:24,940 --> 01:01:27,580
And it was super fun and super cool

650
01:01:28,860 --> 01:01:34,620
Oh my god Yeah, I'm taking up a pornography. That's going to be my new career. What?

651
01:01:35,180 --> 01:01:40,940
That's not what I thought. Oh, okay. Well, what did you say casting? I thought you meant like, uh, like game casting

652
01:01:41,740 --> 01:01:46,220
No, not that Okay casting looks like pornography be the next option

653
01:01:46,940 --> 01:01:51,340
Linus don't answer that my client has, uh

654
01:01:51,900 --> 01:01:56,220
No understanding of what that means perfect

655
01:01:56,220 --> 01:02:01,580
I was like, this is such a weird metal casting. What are you even gonna cast like anal casting?

656
01:02:01,740 --> 01:02:04,860
Yeah, okay. Okay. Yeah. So anyway, that's sweet though

657
01:02:04,860 --> 01:02:10,140
Yeah, I took a class in high school metal art and jewelry and I had a lot of fun with it and I'm

658
01:02:11,260 --> 01:02:19,820
I'm at a Good lord and anyway, I've gone there. You know what I give up. I'm not even gonna. I'm not even gonna try you go ahead

659
01:02:19,900 --> 01:02:21,900
You do the show

660
01:02:24,620 --> 01:02:26,940
You want to get a word in edge wise have all the words

661
01:02:27,660 --> 01:02:29,660
Oh

662
01:02:30,700 --> 01:02:38,780
Man, okay. Sorry anyways You're casting metal casting. I've seen a bunch of people have have relatively solid looking home setups for that

663
01:02:38,780 --> 01:02:43,820
There's cool things. Yeah. Yeah. And so I don't know. It just it looks like a lot of fun. It looks very

664
01:02:45,340 --> 01:02:50,300
Um, it looks very or not I shouldn't say it looks because I have done it before it can be very cathartic

665
01:02:50,620 --> 01:02:53,900
Like taking something from like a rough cast piece to

666
01:02:54,380 --> 01:02:57,580
Seeing the finished product. Have you seen the earrings that Yvonne and I made?

667
01:02:58,140 --> 01:03:01,340
I believe so. Yeah, so we didn't actually do the casting for those

668
01:03:01,900 --> 01:03:06,540
We just carved the the like lost wax Like like casting wax

669
01:03:06,540 --> 01:03:12,380
Things right and then they did the casting for us and then we did all the like finishing and polishing and everything

670
01:03:12,940 --> 01:03:16,140
And that was super fun. And so yeah, I'm just kind of looking at going. Yeah, that would be really fun

671
01:03:16,140 --> 01:03:22,540
I need to get my stupid Motorcycle finished painting. I'm so stressed about it though. I did a I actually have made progress

672
01:03:22,620 --> 01:03:30,380
I did I've primed almost everything now And I think what I've discovered is that because I'm using like a candy like a like a translucent coating

673
01:03:31,100 --> 01:03:33,900
on motorcycle parts which are so

674
01:03:34,460 --> 01:03:40,860
multi-surfaced and multi-faceted That I basically took the difficulty level to 100

675
01:03:41,580 --> 01:03:44,380
Out of the gate and I'm probably just doomed

676
01:03:44,940 --> 01:03:47,820
And I think what I might need to do is either

677
01:03:49,260 --> 01:03:54,060
Change my base coat color to something that can be a solid with just a clear coat on it

678
01:03:54,060 --> 01:03:56,860
And I don't have to worry about getting the layering

679
01:03:57,500 --> 01:04:01,020
Perfectly perfectly even because I could do a hood of a car today

680
01:04:01,660 --> 01:04:08,620
No problem. I could I could do that But when you're working with a piece that has all these different surfaces and angles and divots and everything

681
01:04:09,420 --> 01:04:13,980
Getting it perfectly covered is really really really really really difficult

682
01:04:15,260 --> 01:04:19,260
So maybe I should just find maybe I should just find something else or if I fail again

683
01:04:19,260 --> 01:04:25,500
Then maybe I'll just drop off all the parts and get the paint I think but that would feel like that would feel like giving up because it would be do you guys drink

684
01:04:26,140 --> 01:04:29,100
Like pop like cans cans specifically cans of pop

685
01:04:30,220 --> 01:04:34,140
complicated answer I like cans of soda pop

686
01:04:34,700 --> 01:04:40,300
And I often have them in my house So my my easiest way to control my urges is to just

687
01:04:40,940 --> 01:04:43,900
Not have the temptation nearby. Yeah, so for like years and years

688
01:04:43,980 --> 01:04:51,100
We just wouldn't have any soda in the house But because we entertain so much more now that we're moved into the bigger place and now that we do like

689
01:04:51,660 --> 01:04:55,740
Work functions and like badminton friends functions. I know that work functions. You had them

690
01:04:55,740 --> 01:05:01,740
Like that was our whole that was our whole thing is like why why would we need a why would we need to place this big if we're not gonna like

691
01:05:02,620 --> 01:05:08,780
Bring everybody over and like hang out in the pool and stuff. Oh my we call it pop up here. Whatever it's soda

692
01:05:09,420 --> 01:05:13,500
Doesn't matter everyone relax leave it alone relax. We're gonna be the same country soon anyway

693
01:05:14,380 --> 01:05:19,420
My my point was because I I believe sure fine. No, sorry. I thought you're done. I wasn't done

694
01:05:19,500 --> 01:05:22,380
Honestly go for it. The point is we have soda pop

695
01:05:23,420 --> 01:05:28,220
In our house soda pop coke because we entertain now and I found myself drinking it again

696
01:05:28,860 --> 01:05:32,220
Okay, so I would just like have a craving and it's in the house. I'm like

697
01:05:34,460 --> 01:05:40,300
And so so I started drinking it again And like the quickest way for me to put on a spare tire is to start drinking soda regularly

698
01:05:41,100 --> 01:05:45,660
And and so what I what I what I did was I

699
01:05:46,540 --> 01:05:49,900
I I tried this like boobly bubbly thing

700
01:05:50,940 --> 01:05:58,300
They're f***ing awful. They're terrible. They're like the worst It's the it's the worst balance between like salts or water and soda

701
01:05:58,300 --> 01:06:01,740
It's the worst of both worlds memories of cherry, but

702
01:06:01,900 --> 01:06:09,500
We dipped a cherry in the water. We waved it around near a bottle of soda. Specter of line

703
01:06:12,300 --> 01:06:16,540
But I I drank one and I like had opened it and you know what a cheapskate I am

704
01:06:16,540 --> 01:06:20,780
If I have it and I started I'll finish it. Oh, you might as well. Yeah, it might as well

705
01:06:20,780 --> 01:06:25,660
I mean I paid for it. So I might as well drink it. Yep And what I realized was

706
01:06:25,660 --> 01:06:30,540
I could make myself when I go to the fridge. I could make myself take that instead

707
01:06:31,260 --> 01:06:35,020
And that's the way that I'm conditioning myself to not even bother at all

708
01:06:35,020 --> 01:06:41,740
And then you don't like it So I stock I stock bubbly in my fridge and I'll I'll drink probably a solid like three or four a week

709
01:06:42,620 --> 01:06:46,220
And it's just like having it there as an alternative makes me not drink soda

710
01:06:46,220 --> 01:06:50,380
So in response to your question, I keep soda in the house. I enjoy soda

711
01:06:51,260 --> 01:06:55,660
95 to 98 percent of the time that I'm craving a soda

712
01:06:56,060 --> 01:07:01,420
I grab a bubbly and I choke it down to punish myself for wanting a soda. I'm fairly certain

713
01:07:01,420 --> 01:07:04,140
I've seen people build like aluminum

714
01:07:05,100 --> 01:07:07,820
Yes, it's my methadone soda pop coke dr. Pepper can

715
01:07:08,540 --> 01:07:13,500
Crucibles where they have like a plunger and they put the can in they they plunge it down into the crucible

716
01:07:13,740 --> 01:07:18,300
And they use the the cans of pop as their material for their casting

717
01:07:19,020 --> 01:07:23,900
Oh, that's pretty cool. And I I thought you might like that because it's like a it's a way to reuse, right?

718
01:07:24,380 --> 01:07:29,660
So, yes, you can Effectively recycle aluminum cans, but you're you're now directly doing it

719
01:07:30,140 --> 01:07:35,260
Which is which is pretty cool. So maybe like if you were going to involve the kids in this project and stuff. Yeah, yeah

720
01:07:36,540 --> 01:07:41,100
Dalxy and full planchette said I built one. They're awesome. Yeah, so this I'm pretty sure is the thing you can do

721
01:07:41,340 --> 01:07:47,260
Super cool. Yeah I'm kind of more interested in making like jewelry though. So we'll see yeah fair enough

722
01:07:48,700 --> 01:07:57,660
I got one more for you hit us Dan I got a screwdriver in the initial wave and it has a nice gloss smooth finish

723
01:07:57,820 --> 01:08:00,940
However, I noticed that my second one is more matte finish

724
01:08:01,340 --> 01:08:08,940
Was this a material change or a nice patina from constant use the truth is I do not 100 know the answer to that

725
01:08:09,020 --> 01:08:14,300
I can give you my best guess um One yes, it does gloss out over time

726
01:08:14,860 --> 01:08:20,700
um two While we have not changed our molds for the og screwdriver

727
01:08:21,260 --> 01:08:28,140
Molds do not stay exactly the same over time. They wear we did buy extremely high quality molds from

728
01:08:28,460 --> 01:08:32,460
Uh innovation tool and dye innovation or innovative whatever itd

729
01:08:33,020 --> 01:08:36,620
We bought extremely high high quality molds that should last for

730
01:08:37,500 --> 01:08:43,100
Like a million plus parts is my understanding But that doesn't mean that they don't change a little bit. So

731
01:08:44,460 --> 01:08:50,540
um both Possibly, but probably we didn't change something like the surface finish

732
01:08:57,020 --> 01:09:02,140
Oh, sure more topics. What do you want to talk about luke? Should we talk about should we talk about the

733
01:09:03,260 --> 01:09:06,540
gaslighty rambling

734
01:09:06,540 --> 01:09:10,460
Ridiculous full of misdirection response to our video

735
01:09:11,740 --> 01:09:15,820
From airs tech Uh

736
01:09:18,940 --> 01:09:24,940
Here it is We did a video earlier this week on the airs tech. I have to give you

737
01:09:25,260 --> 01:09:30,940
Scanulate I keep interjecting today. I'm sorry. No, that's fine. I mean starting to annoy myself. I mean, it's like

738
01:09:31,420 --> 01:09:34,220
It's it. This is like having an out-of-body experience for me

739
01:09:37,580 --> 01:09:39,580
It's amazing you haven't punched me yet

740
01:09:40,620 --> 01:09:43,660
No, um the intro to this video. I mean look at this face

741
01:09:43,740 --> 01:09:47,500
Look how punchable it is. This is what I was gonna say though. The intro to this video was

742
01:09:48,140 --> 01:09:54,220
gold Full credit. It was so good full credit to alex clark. Yeah

743
01:09:55,100 --> 01:10:01,340
I was like it was actually amazing. I was like really dude. Are you sure? Oh, absolutely? Really? It was very good

744
01:10:01,980 --> 01:10:05,260
Thank you alex and then he he kind of pitched it through

745
01:10:06,380 --> 01:10:08,780
I walked on to the set and I was like

746
01:10:09,740 --> 01:10:14,860
Because I've done a lot of kind of embarrassing stuff on camera, but dawning that get up

747
01:10:15,660 --> 01:10:20,140
Sitting in the incense Dude, and and he was like sitting there with

748
01:10:20,700 --> 01:10:25,500
Uh, dude the outtakes of this are so funny because I think you know, I don't do accents very well

749
01:10:26,140 --> 01:10:34,300
Yeah at my best I will I will shift between accents like the sands of the desert like I just I can't I can't maintain them

750
01:10:34,300 --> 01:10:36,940
I don't actually have any training. I don't actually practice it

751
01:10:37,340 --> 01:10:43,660
Um, so what alex was doing was he was sitting there on set kind of directing and then he just had

752
01:10:44,300 --> 01:10:46,860
a random interview of russell brand

753
01:10:47,820 --> 01:10:50,700
And he would just play a clip and then he'd turn it off

754
01:10:50,940 --> 01:10:54,620
And then I would try to deliver the next little bit of the line kind of trying to mimic it

755
01:10:56,860 --> 01:11:05,900
Dan were you on set For that? No. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Uh, man. Oh, no, I know who it was. It was andrew who was on set

756
01:11:06,380 --> 01:11:13,740
um And I the reason that I wasn't sure it was someone it was someone from the uh, the the british aisles that was on set

757
01:11:13,740 --> 01:11:19,180
And then we were we were talking about my atrocious accent. So andrew andrew is irish and um

758
01:11:20,460 --> 01:11:24,940
Having to see his face Sitting there

759
01:11:24,940 --> 01:11:28,860
So disappointed at whatever it was that was coming out of my mouth

760
01:11:29,580 --> 01:11:33,020
That was hard That was hard

761
01:11:33,020 --> 01:11:37,740
That intro was so freaking funny though I I saw the I saw I think

762
01:11:38,300 --> 01:11:42,460
Does it allude to the intro in the thumbnail? Like can you are you in that get up in the thumbnail?

763
01:11:43,020 --> 01:11:47,660
Uh, I don't think so. I think we left a little bit. I don't know. I noticed in the thumbnail

764
01:11:47,660 --> 01:11:52,460
I'm gonna go to your laptop. Yeah, I noticed in the thumbnail that your your your shirt is like

765
01:11:53,020 --> 01:12:00,380
Yeah, very wide and very low I think that's Photoshopped. What's going on and I clicked on it and then I couldn't stop watching the intro

766
01:12:00,540 --> 01:12:04,540
Okay, we'll show it. We'll show it Oh

767
01:12:04,860 --> 01:12:10,540
The incense too at first I was like did they like add that in in post? Nope. There's incense. They're burning. Yeah

768
01:12:11,260 --> 01:12:19,100
The whole set everything's just it's it's amazing. We have a world-class team. Um, there's there's no doubt in my mind about that

769
01:12:20,300 --> 01:12:25,500
Anywho, oh man, uh, let me see if I can where's the uh, yes, okay, so

770
01:12:26,300 --> 01:12:35,420
Uh, they actually man When you're down sometimes it's better to just stay down, but they apparently decided yeah, they responded not to stay down

771
01:12:35,820 --> 01:12:42,860
Uh, so they posted a blog post debunking Linus tech tips misconception about aries devices

772
01:12:44,140 --> 01:12:48,940
Good gravy Man, this is uh

773
01:12:49,420 --> 01:12:54,860
What is up with like people writing extremely long responses

774
01:12:58,380 --> 01:13:07,660
Oh Man the device does not block claim number one the device does not block rf signals, so it's ineffective

775
01:13:07,660 --> 01:13:09,820
I mean it doesn't interact with them at all. That's

776
01:13:12,860 --> 01:13:14,860
Anyway in short

777
01:13:16,300 --> 01:13:21,180
No wearing a special amulet does not make the 5g boogie man

778
01:13:21,820 --> 01:13:29,020
um Less scarier. Um, and also aries tech. This is embarrassing at this point

779
01:13:30,460 --> 01:13:36,460
You're not going to win over anyone who has even a remotely functional understanding of how

780
01:13:37,340 --> 01:13:46,460
electromagnetic waves work That's not happening. Um, I don't realistically think that any of the people that you are ripping off with your

781
01:13:46,460 --> 01:13:54,220
Scamulate are going to be deterred by like a proper explanation of why it obviously doesn't work

782
01:13:55,020 --> 01:14:02,700
Um So why are you why are you even talking? Why are you even stricent affecting our video? I I really think this is just such a

783
01:14:03,420 --> 01:14:06,220
Such an obvious tactical error

784
01:14:07,180 --> 01:14:15,660
um So anyway here I will read through the I'll read through my notes instead of just talking about how this is ridiculous

785
01:14:16,140 --> 01:14:22,380
Earlier this week we posted a video on the aries tech life tune and how it doesn't do anything that the company says it does

786
01:14:22,860 --> 01:14:27,420
In response, they posted on their blog debunking our claims about the life tune

787
01:14:28,300 --> 01:14:33,260
Um, nothing that we hadn't previously discussed in our video was brought up and there was no new information

788
01:14:33,420 --> 01:14:37,260
Because we had already reached out to them as part of our process for making our video

789
01:14:37,980 --> 01:14:42,860
They do bring up their eeg testing as a way that they've proven the life tune works

790
01:14:43,260 --> 01:14:46,940
Although we watched the video during research and the test seems to be fatally flawed

791
01:14:47,180 --> 01:14:50,700
And fully allows the test subjects to be swayed by the researchers

792
01:14:51,260 --> 01:14:57,660
Did they measure a change? Yes, but in all likelihood this was a placebo and a placebo is a perfectly

793
01:14:58,380 --> 01:15:03,820
Cromulent way to register a change in someone's behavior even physiologically. Yes. Yeah

794
01:15:04,140 --> 01:15:10,220
Now we could spend a bunch of time picking apart their arguments, but fortunately reddit saved us the trouble

795
01:15:10,780 --> 01:15:14,540
eagle falcon phd in physical chemistry

796
01:15:14,860 --> 01:15:20,300
jc calhoun and alundra 828 have all posted about

797
01:15:21,260 --> 01:15:30,860
This whole Situ malation. Let's go. I think this is a pretty good summary, but um, you know, hey, that's their word. That's their word not mine

798
01:15:32,060 --> 01:15:35,660
Alex the the writer's thoughts here. All I want is a simple

799
01:15:36,300 --> 01:15:40,140
Replicable test to show that it does literally anything

800
01:15:41,100 --> 01:15:49,020
Ares tech can you give us that? It is normal for companies to show us their internal testing to demonstrate how to independently test and verify their claims

801
01:15:49,340 --> 01:15:55,900
Ares tech didn't give us any of that and instead just threw techno babble at us. There is of course a chance that

802
01:15:56,460 --> 01:16:07,180
Alex says he just didn't understand it But we were able to figure out how the machines at asml work and this little amulet certainly isn't more complicated than an euv machine

803
01:16:08,060 --> 01:16:10,060
Yep

804
01:16:11,260 --> 01:16:15,020
Agreed alex absolutely toasted

805
01:16:19,340 --> 01:16:23,180
Ah What else do you want to talk about

806
01:16:23,180 --> 01:16:29,180
We've got we've actually got a fair bit today. Oh, I want to talk about gta 6. Sorry. I'm gonna hijack. Yeah, let's do it

807
01:16:29,260 --> 01:16:34,380
Let's talk about gta 6. So the headline here is some game makers hope

808
01:16:34,780 --> 01:16:40,540
That grand theft auto 6 will cost up to 100 us dollars at launch and let's get through let's get through the whole thing

809
01:16:40,540 --> 01:16:44,540
I'm gonna i'm gonna blow through this pretty quick here And then we can open it up to discussion

810
01:16:44,620 --> 01:16:51,500
Industry analyst michael ball wrote in his state of video gaming in 2025 that some game makers hope gta 6 will be priced at

811
01:16:51,500 --> 01:16:57,740
80 to 100 us dollars breaking the 70 dollar barrier and helping 50 dollar titles move up to 60

812
01:16:58,140 --> 01:17:06,700
60 dollar titles moved to 70 70 to 80 etc He stated that game prices have never been lower in real terms than they are today

813
01:17:07,660 --> 01:17:12,140
Larry and michael dowse responded on twitter saying you're not supposed to say this out loud

814
01:17:13,500 --> 01:17:20,000
That's that sounds like something you would say here's a graph of gta prices corrected for inflation

815
01:17:24,300 --> 01:17:30,140
In real terms a 70 dollar gta 6 would be the cheapest ever gta, which is uh, yeah

816
01:17:30,860 --> 01:17:36,620
I mean when you account for inflation pretty interesting here's a graph of us prices for packaged video games

817
01:17:39,100 --> 01:17:41,420
Shockingly shockingly flat

818
01:17:42,300 --> 01:17:49,020
So this is nominal prices. This is what it says on the sticker And then this one right here is the like adjusted for inflation versions

819
01:17:49,020 --> 01:17:56,140
So it stands to reason that today one equals one and in the past one equals a lot more than one today

820
01:17:56,700 --> 01:18:02,300
Redditors we're quick to point out that simply adjusting for inflation doesn't tell the whole story and that is true

821
01:18:02,380 --> 01:18:08,380
Inflation is so much more complicated than just price go up some things do not go up some things actually do go down

822
01:18:08,860 --> 01:18:14,620
Um physical media had real costs not just for materials, but also for duplication packaging manuals shipping etc

823
01:18:15,180 --> 01:18:23,980
sticking with the SNES example Um, we found an old pricing breakdown from super play magazine. Oh, oh super cool. Okay. Here we go

824
01:18:24,700 --> 01:18:29,180
Breakdown of cost for your average game 1 freight 4 marketing

825
01:18:29,900 --> 01:18:33,260
1.7 duty 4.6 developers royalty

826
01:18:33,740 --> 01:18:37,900
30 retailers margin. So that's where uh valve got their number from

827
01:18:39,340 --> 01:18:45,740
15 tax 33 nintendo and 15 publishers margin

828
01:18:46,540 --> 01:18:50,860
Shockingly little going to the actual developer. I mean, I guess that shouldn't really shock us at this point in the games industry

829
01:18:50,860 --> 01:18:58,060
But hey, there it is So we know that about from other sources that about half of nintendo's charge was manufacturing

830
01:18:58,060 --> 01:19:03,260
So about $10 of the $60 cartridge Now the bar to entry is arguably lower these days

831
01:19:03,340 --> 01:19:06,220
Anyone can publish a game and there is no sort of shipping and all of that

832
01:19:06,700 --> 01:19:12,700
But and sales are also significantly higher in 2020 elden ring sold 13 million copies in its first month of release

833
01:19:13,180 --> 01:19:19,820
Back in 2002, excuse me the year's best-seller gta vice city sold less than six million copies by the end of the year

834
01:19:20,220 --> 01:19:24,300
The the plain simple truth is there's a lot more gamers out there than there used to be

835
01:19:25,020 --> 01:19:27,420
Publisher revenue is also massive

836
01:19:28,380 --> 01:19:34,940
Um, I like here's just like uh, you know casual look at the kind of revenue that these companies are doing on

837
01:19:35,980 --> 01:19:41,340
On gaming sony interactive 10 cent revenue though. We'll get to it. We'll get to it. We'll get to it

838
01:19:43,260 --> 01:19:45,580
The list doesn't include private companies like valve

839
01:19:46,300 --> 01:19:51,900
Or activision blizzard who reported 8.8 billion in revenue before microsoft bought them for 68 billion dollars

840
01:19:53,180 --> 01:19:56,060
Okay, there's a lot to unpack. So with all that in mind

841
01:19:58,940 --> 01:20:07,740
Would it be a good thing If gta 6 was priced at let's say a hundred dollars even though the original article from michael ball says 82 a hundred dollars

842
01:20:07,820 --> 01:20:10,700
Let's let's stick with a hundred dollars for the sake of you know

843
01:20:11,260 --> 01:20:19,580
Following up our sensationalist, you know headline Regurgitation here. Uh, I don't I don't suspect rock star exactly needs to do it

844
01:20:20,060 --> 01:20:24,380
Um, I think they are going to Completely kill regardless

845
01:20:24,700 --> 01:20:33,820
Um, it might be good for other people in the industry I think the examples of like this nest cartridge are not necessarily fair because we have been in a predominantly digital distribution

846
01:20:34,220 --> 01:20:39,900
Environment for a long time now. Well, I think that's part of the point is that that is a big part of why we yeah

847
01:20:39,900 --> 01:20:46,700
We shouldn't have to pay for Physical manufacturing and shipping that we don't have anymore. I think you can make that argument for a certain period of time

848
01:20:46,700 --> 01:20:52,060
But eventually that margin is eaten up. We've been in predominantly digital distribution for a very long time now

849
01:20:52,380 --> 01:20:57,740
It has it has not been a couple years not on the console side. I would argue even consoles

850
01:20:57,820 --> 01:21:04,540
I think have been very predominantly digital for a while this generation. Yeah, we're downloading stuff, but ps4

851
01:21:05,580 --> 01:21:12,300
I uh, ooh Truthfully, I don't I don't have the numbers. I don't know. Yeah, I'd love to hear from you guys. Uh Floatplane chat

852
01:21:12,380 --> 01:21:17,100
I mean, let us know like we're gonna have predominantly peasy people. But yeah, that's fair enough, but like

853
01:21:18,060 --> 01:21:21,660
Man, yeah, I I know 360 ps3 was the start

854
01:21:22,300 --> 01:21:28,140
Um, people are saying ps4 was pretty split. Yeah, um, whereas like I think it's I think it's pretty

855
01:21:29,100 --> 01:21:33,020
Oh man, some of these folks. I mean, yeah, it makes sense that like our super

856
01:21:33,740 --> 01:21:38,620
2013 buddy here is like I was 50% digital on the 360 which

857
01:21:39,340 --> 01:21:45,100
You know for our like hyper connected audience That might not be that representative. I had a 360 it was all physical

858
01:21:45,100 --> 01:21:49,740
I'm pretty sure that normies have taken a fair bit longer to move digital

859
01:21:50,300 --> 01:21:56,220
Especially especially with the inherent advantage as a physical media on consoles. The fact that you can resell them is so

860
01:21:56,860 --> 01:22:00,620
Huge It's huge Yeah, but game stores are closing all over the place

861
01:22:00,620 --> 01:22:05,420
Well that I know because they can't say and that's not new news. That's true. That's very true

862
01:22:06,380 --> 01:22:12,860
Like it's been big enough impact for stores to close Since pre-covid. Well, I think what we can agree on is that we aren't sure

863
01:22:13,500 --> 01:22:22,380
Which is at least five years old But we do know that digital distribution has been a huge thing for a lot longer than games have been stuck at around $60

864
01:22:22,380 --> 01:22:27,180
Yeah, so I don't I don't personally think that the reference back to the SNES cartridge is

865
01:22:27,900 --> 01:22:34,220
Entirely fair. I think it was fair at a point in time sure and then game prices didn't change at all for like

866
01:22:35,500 --> 01:22:39,980
Over a decade, right? So then it stops really being fair in my opinion

867
01:22:41,500 --> 01:22:45,100
I think also like some people are pointing out like there's way more sales now

868
01:22:45,100 --> 01:22:48,780
It's like yeah, okay, but if you look at the development teams at these companies

869
01:22:49,340 --> 01:22:53,820
On average, I'd say they are way bigger now like way bigger now

870
01:22:54,780 --> 01:22:57,900
The the amount of work that is going into making some of these games is

871
01:22:58,700 --> 01:23:05,980
Incredibly immense. Um, so I think that's another like kind of yin yang situation. Can I can I throw in a pitch here?

872
01:23:07,740 --> 01:23:11,580
Would you support the move to 100 us dollars?

873
01:23:12,380 --> 01:23:14,780
If it meant hold on 140 right now canadian

874
01:23:15,820 --> 01:23:22,220
If it meant That we could as an industry move away from so many

875
01:23:22,780 --> 01:23:27,100
Like microtransactions. Yes, absolutely. I would unquestionably agree with that

876
01:23:27,260 --> 01:23:30,380
so if the excuse from the industry is that

877
01:23:31,180 --> 01:23:37,740
Well, we had to do microtransactions because it was the only way to run our businesses sustainably with the stagnation of video game pricing

878
01:23:37,740 --> 01:23:42,860
I don't believe that we'll take both Yeah, I know that's where we were headed, but um

879
01:23:43,580 --> 01:23:50,860
it You couldn't allow me to imagine a blissful future for just a few moments. I would I was genuinely 100 beyond board

880
01:23:51,100 --> 01:23:54,620
it I used to really really like

881
01:23:54,620 --> 01:23:59,980
doing Kind of like more difficult things in game in order to earn

882
01:24:01,020 --> 01:24:06,380
Uh, you know some cosmetic or whatever. Yeah, um, I really really liked that and then

883
01:24:07,180 --> 01:24:10,220
Like, uh, you know trying to trying to get skins in cod

884
01:24:10,780 --> 01:24:17,420
By doing certain things with that specific firearm was cool. And then now you can buy cooler ones and it's like well

885
01:24:18,060 --> 01:24:22,540
I don't know. It genuinely takes away from the game for me

886
01:24:22,780 --> 01:24:27,660
So if you can put that back in that has direct value for me, um, well, they won't

887
01:24:28,140 --> 01:24:33,340
But they I think we all know that's not gonna happen. I also think as much as I honestly think a lot of this

888
01:24:35,660 --> 01:24:39,740
Can be Justifiable in regards to price increase

889
01:24:39,980 --> 01:24:45,500
Um, but to a certain degree, I don't know how much it's gonna matter. Yeah looking at the economy right now

890
01:24:45,900 --> 01:24:49,420
I don't know that many canadians honestly that can just drop 140 bucks

891
01:24:49,420 --> 01:24:54,700
That wasn't my next point is that at the end of the day They can theoretically raise the price to whatever they want

892
01:24:54,860 --> 01:24:58,380
But the price is gonna be whatever the market will bear and as we've seen

893
01:24:58,700 --> 01:25:04,780
Especially on the pc side where the promotions come so fast. We're just gonna wait and they go so deep. Yeah, um

894
01:25:06,140 --> 01:25:11,740
It's going to end up Whatever it starts at whatever msrp is unless you are nintendo

895
01:25:12,220 --> 01:25:15,660
Unless you are rock star unless you are one of these these triple a

896
01:25:16,540 --> 01:25:24,460
developers or publishers You are you are not going to be able to draw a line in the sand and say undone no further

897
01:25:24,540 --> 01:25:28,220
You know, this is it. This is our pricing. It's not gonna it's not gonna happen

898
01:25:28,620 --> 01:25:33,820
You're gonna you're gonna get whatever you're gonna get and you're gonna do your steam summer sale and you're gonna do this

899
01:25:33,820 --> 01:25:38,540
you're gonna do that and I just I just I don't see the um

900
01:25:39,340 --> 01:25:46,220
I don't see it having a huge impact because a 60 dollar game already isn't 60 dollars a 60 dollar game is already

901
01:25:46,700 --> 01:25:55,180
You know 38 99 on steam, you know black friday or winter sale or summer sale or spring break sale or whatever

902
01:25:55,260 --> 01:25:59,420
Some games hold out longer, but it ends up being pretty quick and so and that's exactly it

903
01:25:59,500 --> 01:26:03,020
So so we can have this new higher ceiling

904
01:26:03,500 --> 01:26:07,740
But basically I think what's just going to happen is it's just going to go down to the price the market will bear

905
01:26:07,740 --> 01:26:12,300
And that will be that neither of us are claiming to really know anything about the actual economics behind this

906
01:26:12,300 --> 01:26:17,740
So like, you know, maybe that drop maybe most people have crazy FOMO and buy it right away

907
01:26:18,620 --> 01:26:25,260
I'm just looking around in our environment. And you know, the if you know anything about it the economic environment in canada right now is

908
01:26:26,300 --> 01:26:34,940
Dire it's really rough So it's not as it's uh as far as my understanding goes the economic environment in the states is genuinely not as bad

909
01:26:35,340 --> 01:26:38,860
So, uh, if you're feeling it down there, it's really bad up here

910
01:26:39,180 --> 01:26:44,220
Um, and a lot of people that I know are just that are doing pretty well

911
01:26:44,780 --> 01:26:52,220
Comparatively genuinely like people with really solid jobs up here are not going to be dropping 140 dollars on a game

912
01:26:52,220 --> 01:26:55,580
Well, it's compounded by the fact that our currency is taking an absolute

913
01:26:55,740 --> 01:27:02,220
Yeah, but that's part of it right beating right now. So anything that like is imported from well anywhere

914
01:27:02,780 --> 01:27:05,180
Um, effectively our purchasing power has just been

915
01:27:06,140 --> 01:27:10,540
Yeah, so like as speaking as canadiens, which is the only thing I can realistically do

916
01:27:11,100 --> 01:27:13,820
This is crushing for us to be honest

917
01:27:14,380 --> 01:27:17,500
Like, uh, yeah, it would be it wouldn't even he's rounding

918
01:27:17,820 --> 01:27:21,500
It would be more like 146 dollars at a straight one-to-one conversion

919
01:27:21,500 --> 01:27:27,100
Like it's one of those things where I will often see, uh, you know, canadiens complaining about the pricing on our store

920
01:27:27,340 --> 01:27:32,300
Is like, why is your canadian pricing so bad because our pricing is in us dollars our costs are in us dollars

921
01:27:32,700 --> 01:27:35,100
Our markup is a certain amount above that

922
01:27:35,740 --> 01:27:38,940
And then that that's it. That's how much the product costs us and that's what our markup is

923
01:27:38,940 --> 01:27:43,500
So when it's so high in canadian dollars because the loonie is like

924
01:27:44,460 --> 01:27:49,980
In the toilet, um And if I just did a one-to-one conversion out of the goodness of my heart

925
01:27:49,980 --> 01:27:55,260
We would be just losing money on every transaction on LTT Store. That's not that's not realistic. That's not viable

926
01:27:55,820 --> 01:27:59,340
The the wily and full plain chat said no luke should try speaking as a spaniard

927
01:27:59,820 --> 01:28:03,420
Um, I yeah, I I'd like to hear that. I have no idea

928
01:28:03,980 --> 01:28:10,700
I I'm assuming it's a joke, but even if it's not I can't imagine what the economy is in all the places around the world

929
01:28:10,700 --> 01:28:14,140
We're just talking about canada if you want to see some insane graphs just look up like

930
01:28:14,700 --> 01:28:18,460
Costs of living versus income Uh

931
01:28:18,460 --> 01:28:21,980
Charts over time for for canadiens if you look at a macro trend

932
01:28:22,460 --> 01:28:28,220
Um graph it won't look much better across most of north america, but we're having a particularly

933
01:28:28,860 --> 01:28:31,420
Acute with like housing go of it right now

934
01:28:32,060 --> 01:28:36,540
Yeah, yeah, it's it's rough and it's rough. It's it's rough everywhere as far as I know

935
01:28:36,620 --> 01:28:41,420
I just know that it is particularly rough up here. Jocie says here in the uk. We're not doing much better than you guys

936
01:28:41,580 --> 01:28:49,020
Yeah, I've heard that too I don't think a lot of people have the disposable income to jump up to this rate that being said in times of economic crisis

937
01:28:49,100 --> 01:28:55,580
As far as my understanding goes entertainment stays an expense for a lot of and gaming is still one of the best

938
01:28:56,220 --> 01:29:00,860
Value dollar per hour dollar per hour things you can spend your money. So I could just be totally wrong

939
01:29:01,020 --> 01:29:05,100
Yeah, I mean, maybe people will cut out. They'll cut out travel. They'll cut out eating out

940
01:29:05,100 --> 01:29:09,580
Which we already know it's happening even when I was over it when I was when I was overseas

941
01:29:10,060 --> 01:29:17,900
um My news feed started to slant more like, you know, british and irish and all and all of that right and uh, I read this just like

942
01:29:18,300 --> 01:29:23,820
Devastating article and I forget the exact number which makes me feel even worse because it's just it's disappearing

943
01:29:23,820 --> 01:29:26,700
And nobody even can be bothered to remember the rate at which it's disappearing

944
01:29:27,020 --> 01:29:31,580
But it pretty much was like talking about the rate at which irish pubs are closing

945
01:29:32,140 --> 01:29:36,460
Oh and it's like terrifying because

946
01:29:37,020 --> 01:29:42,300
What's going to replace it? What's going to replace the small independent dude? They're so unique

947
01:29:43,180 --> 01:29:48,860
With that character and that history Yeah, nothing nothing like what a what a tim fucking hortons like

948
01:29:49,500 --> 01:29:54,140
Honestly, I don't I don't drink. You don't drink. No, I don't drink but it's neither of us are probably frequent

949
01:29:54,220 --> 01:29:59,660
But it's not just the it's not just from my understanding. It's not the drinking. It's a social thing

950
01:29:59,980 --> 01:30:05,340
That's your that's your they genuinely kind of your town square. You know, it's your it's your place to go and and

951
01:30:05,740 --> 01:30:12,460
They're often warm and genuinely pretty inviting. Yeah, it's a public house. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, exactly there. Thank you

952
01:30:12,460 --> 01:30:15,100
That's a really good way of putting it. It's it's right in the name

953
01:30:15,740 --> 01:30:19,900
public house and They're just disappearing

954
01:30:19,900 --> 01:30:25,900
Um 603 says people don't socialize like they used to the drop in the last 20 years of people gathering is astounding and

955
01:30:26,380 --> 01:30:29,180
Man, did covet ever not help with that? Oh, no, not at all. Yeah

956
01:30:29,900 --> 01:30:33,580
Sure didn't help I used to go out to eat with people

957
01:30:34,460 --> 01:30:39,340
Like all the time that was like how I socialized and now I honestly can't remember Yvonne and I asked him out

958
01:30:39,980 --> 01:30:45,900
No, you don't even remember. Was it Earl's? With you guys was the last time I ate. No, we went to Boston Pizza. What was that? Oh, yeah

959
01:30:47,340 --> 01:30:49,340
It wasn't a memorable dinner at all. I guess

960
01:30:50,860 --> 01:30:56,540
He knows why that's funny Anyway, I was I was maybe a little focused on other things. Okay

961
01:30:57,420 --> 01:31:02,300
I forgot about the food and when Yvonne reached out when Yvonne reached out to him to get some dinner with us

962
01:31:02,860 --> 01:31:07,660
he was like Like immediate response. Why what's wrong? Yeah

963
01:31:08,140 --> 01:31:14,140
And like that's partially On us for not spending time with our friends often enough apparently

964
01:31:14,460 --> 01:31:20,780
Wasn't actually what I said something along those lines. It's partially on, you know, luke for not, you know

965
01:31:22,060 --> 01:31:25,900
Just being in that mindset and I think it's partially on just like all of us

966
01:31:25,980 --> 01:31:29,740
We're just getting out of the habit of just spending time together. You know

967
01:31:30,620 --> 01:31:34,060
Why are we seriously the excuse at this point? I don't know

968
01:31:34,780 --> 01:31:38,460
I think it's habit forming. It takes what is it? It takes a month to form a habit

969
01:31:39,100 --> 01:31:42,460
And covet for a lot of people was a lot longer than that. So yeah

970
01:31:45,180 --> 01:31:49,500
No, he didn't get fired and if he did we'd do it somewhere much nicer than boston pizza

971
01:31:49,820 --> 01:31:52,380
You'd fire me at a nice location. We put him down real nice

972
01:31:54,620 --> 01:31:58,620
Wow, it's so interesting. I need to like pay attention to pay attention to where you invite me to go

973
01:31:58,700 --> 01:32:01,020
Yeah, so if I like ever invite you to gophins or something

974
01:32:01,740 --> 01:32:03,740
Oh, no, no

975
01:32:05,020 --> 01:32:12,380
A nice last meal No, I said, yeah, sounds great with a big smiley. Okay. Well, it was right away. She got a vibe

976
01:32:13,500 --> 01:32:16,460
Yeah, I did follow that up with a different message. Yeah, I've been like, uh

977
01:32:18,060 --> 01:32:21,980
So I stand behind I stand behind the vibe representation. I definitely might yeah

978
01:32:22,220 --> 01:32:26,540
I get I get away with the first message excuse, but yeah, yeah. Yeah. No, no

979
01:32:27,180 --> 01:32:30,940
Yeah, but yeah, it was uh, it was a detectable vibe for sure

980
01:32:32,220 --> 01:32:36,540

999
01:34:14,460 --> 01:34:20,940
Notion is used by over half of fortune 500 companies helping teams stay on the same page by reducing emails cutting unnecessary meetings

1000
01:34:21,100 --> 01:34:24,220
Saving time searching for work and lowering costs on extra tools

1001
01:34:24,620 --> 01:34:29,500
Try motion for free when you go to notion.com slash when that's all lowercase letters

1002
01:34:29,660 --> 01:34:34,700
Not that it matters notion.com slash when to try the powerful and easy to use notion

1003
01:34:35,580 --> 01:34:40,540
Finally the show is brought to you by oh snap Holding a phone can be challenging sometimes

1004
01:34:41,260 --> 01:34:43,500
Especially if you have tiny hands like me

1005
01:34:44,700 --> 01:34:53,580
Thank you Dan Okay, that's why it's time for me to get a grip. Oh, yeah, there you go. Okay with our sponsor

1006
01:34:53,900 --> 01:34:57,020
Oh snap, they make phone accessories that don't suck

1007
01:34:57,580 --> 01:35:03,340
Just like they promise here are some snap grips that they sent over. Okay, so here you go. So there's their snap grip

1008
01:35:03,420 --> 01:35:05,660
Oh, wait, are there more? Is there more Dan?

1009
01:35:07,580 --> 01:35:10,540
Oh, okay, that's pretty straightforward

1010
01:35:13,740 --> 01:35:18,860
Is it a stand then whoa, it's also a stand. Okay. Okay, that's pretty cool

1011
01:35:20,300 --> 01:35:25,500
The grip is also is also a stand and yeah Dan wanted me to show that it that it actually rotates

1012
01:35:26,220 --> 01:35:32,300
So if you want like the most, you know comfortable, you know angle or whatever you want to watch landscape or whatever it moves around

1013
01:35:32,300 --> 01:35:39,660
Okay, that's pretty cool It's crazy thin 2.5 millimeters, which is smaller than almost any camera bump and will practically never get caught in your pockets

1014
01:35:40,380 --> 01:35:43,340
You can even use it as a kickstand to watch the wancho. Oh, that's awesome

1015
01:35:44,140 --> 01:35:50,540
And oh, it's magnetic that means you can use any magsafe accessory mount or charger on top of the grip

1016
01:35:51,260 --> 01:35:56,300
Or you can stick your phone to a pc case microwave or other magnetic surface. Oh good

1017
01:35:56,380 --> 01:35:59,020
You could yes, you could do that if you really wanted to

1018
01:35:59,500 --> 01:36:04,300
The osnap grip works on all foams and looks slick with its cnc milled aluminum trim

1019
01:36:04,780 --> 01:36:10,940
Love can be a pain in the grip. So they have a bogo deal for you and your partner this valentine's day

Buy one and get one 50 off at osnap.com slash when or by using the link in the video description

1021
01:36:18,540 --> 01:36:23,500
All right let's Oh do merge messages. Thank you producer Dan

1022
01:36:24,140 --> 01:36:28,780
Hit me sure in the past AMD and video competed across every price

1023
01:36:29,020 --> 01:36:33,980
Now each price point is segmented by a brand until low AMD mid and NVIDIA high

1024
01:36:34,380 --> 01:36:37,260
Does the consumer benefit from this similar to how cars are?

1025
01:36:37,740 --> 01:36:42,380
Well, the thing about the automotive space is that at every price point there is competition

1026
01:36:42,540 --> 01:36:45,980
Like even if you're buying a a two million dollar hypercar

1027
01:36:46,620 --> 01:36:51,820
You could choose you could shop with pin and farina. You could shop. I'm probably butchered the pronunciation

1028
01:36:51,820 --> 01:36:58,060
But don't worry about it. What the heck is that? Uh ferrari lamborghini. You could shop with ramac. You could like you've got

1029
01:36:58,300 --> 01:37:01,900
You've actually got all an entire smorgasbord of options for like

1030
01:37:02,300 --> 01:37:09,500
Ridiculous hypercars and then at the low end things are super competitive and are only going to get more competitive as china continues to export more

1031
01:37:10,060 --> 01:37:14,300
inexpensive evs when you've got

1032
01:37:14,300 --> 01:37:19,420
like Three semi monopolists almost at each price band

1033
01:37:20,140 --> 01:37:27,180
I think the argument that you have competition gets a lot weaker now NVIDIA does compete across more than one price bracket

1034
01:37:27,260 --> 01:37:30,460
They do ultra high end ultra ultra high end

1035
01:37:31,180 --> 01:37:33,180
ultra ultra ultra high end

1036
01:37:34,220 --> 01:37:37,900
And i'm a little bit below that they also do high end and like mid high

1037
01:37:38,380 --> 01:37:43,340
um And then AMD is competitive that I would say like the high end down to the mid range

1038
01:37:43,420 --> 01:37:47,660
Especially if we go back and look at their sort of previous generation products that they use to fill the gap sometimes

1039
01:37:47,980 --> 01:37:51,100
Intel meanwhile. Yeah low end only uh like low end

1040
01:37:51,500 --> 01:37:59,020
But gaming is what I would describe Intel as because low end used to mean like $60 gpus that are used as a display out

1041
01:37:59,180 --> 01:38:06,780
I mean the arc b580 is still a You know $250 GPU like let's let's be real. This is a gaming card

1042
01:38:07,100 --> 01:38:09,980
But it's at the low end of the of the like legitimate

1043
01:38:10,700 --> 01:38:13,340
modern current generation gaming cards

1044
01:38:14,540 --> 01:38:19,500
No, I don't think the consumer benefits from this until we have more direct competition

1045
01:38:19,740 --> 01:38:21,740
At least not enough

1046
01:38:23,820 --> 01:38:31,180
Yeah Highlights. That's mostly it. No other videos on the tonight show comes close to the number of views yours has

1047
01:38:31,900 --> 01:38:35,980
Not even bad bunnies. Why do you think that's uh, what do you think that's a sign of?

1048
01:38:36,140 --> 01:38:41,340
We would like to hear your comments on that. Cheers. I think that is as simple as um,

1049
01:38:41,900 --> 01:38:50,220
Me being youtube native youtube Yeah, like where are you going to find bad bunnies audience? You are going to find it

1050
01:38:50,780 --> 01:38:54,780
Um, I don't I honestly don't even know what the most popular

1051
01:38:55,260 --> 01:39:00,460
Yeah, sure spotify for sure But I was going to say like even like social like social media platforms

1052
01:39:00,460 --> 01:39:04,060
I don't know what's most popular in the latin world. Yeah, I have no idea

1053
01:39:04,300 --> 01:39:09,980
But you know on those platforms instagram or something. I'm sure I'm going to be getting 26 views

1054
01:39:10,380 --> 01:39:16,780
For every million that he gets like it's it's it's a completely different. We're running on different, you know tracks

1055
01:39:17,340 --> 01:39:21,900
Essentially and this is home turf. I'm going to perform best on youtube

1056
01:39:22,140 --> 01:39:28,140
I'm going to kill it on youtube and anywhere else. I'm going to I'm going to struggle by comparison with that said

1057
01:39:28,540 --> 01:39:38,300
um, you know credit to their team um credit to credit to uh, jimmy and um and bad bunny himself and I did a pretty good job too

1058
01:39:38,620 --> 01:39:42,780
even off youtube, um Especially the clips with the glasses

1059
01:39:43,260 --> 01:39:48,620
Actually is performing really well like on facebook the color changing glasses or the screen on facebook

1060
01:39:49,260 --> 01:39:54,620
Dude that segment. I think it actually includes both of those that segment is changing glasses or performing

1061
01:39:55,420 --> 01:39:59,340
cray cray And I think it's actually doing pretty well on instagram as well

1062
01:39:59,420 --> 01:40:04,940
Which are both platforms where I am not in a in a particularly strong position. Yeah

1063
01:40:05,900 --> 01:40:10,060
Oh, let me see if I can let me see if I can find it. They upload so much stuff

1064
01:40:10,060 --> 01:40:17,500
That's another thing too is a lot of the time It's hard to evaluate how successful one of their clips was in the first

1065
01:40:17,900 --> 01:40:24,220
You know week because you'll have stuff that will over time go viral like there's there's clips on the tonight show youtube channel

1066
01:40:24,380 --> 01:40:29,820
That have a hundred million views We have never uploaded anything with a hundred million views

1067
01:40:30,700 --> 01:40:33,820
So you've got to you've got to give them you've got to give them time to cook

1068
01:40:33,980 --> 01:40:38,620
I do think like Especially five ish plus years ago

1069
01:40:39,100 --> 01:40:43,020
Um that type of content was getting hyper pumped by youtube. This is true

1070
01:40:45,420 --> 01:40:52,060
And like like I said, I think I did a great job But um, you've also got to just understand that it's a completely different

1071
01:40:53,180 --> 01:40:55,900
It's a completely different model. It's like a like a scatter gun

1072
01:40:57,420 --> 01:41:01,260
Right. Yeah, a lot of them were uploaded like at the same time as far as I could tell

1073
01:41:01,260 --> 01:41:06,140
They're not optimizing for the youtube platform at all and we threw our weight behind it too

1074
01:41:06,140 --> 01:41:08,460
Like we made sure to throw social promotion after it

1075
01:41:09,260 --> 01:41:15,180
To give ourselves the best possible chance Apparently the top video has 493 million views. Yeah, there you go

1076
01:41:16,220 --> 01:41:19,660
There you go That's a lot

1077
01:41:19,660 --> 01:41:25,980
Let me see if I can let me see if I can find Like this is yeah, this is wild. I can't even find the one that performed really well

1078
01:41:25,980 --> 01:41:31,180
There's one that has like millions of views or something and these these are these are not them

1079
01:41:31,580 --> 01:41:35,340
I love can you scroll down a little bit? I love that you guys sent that photo in as your

1080
01:41:35,980 --> 01:41:37,980
Your official. Oh, yeah, buddy

1081
01:41:40,220 --> 01:41:44,140
We had a backup we had a backup in case they didn't like it the other ones are just so they're so serious

1082
01:41:44,220 --> 01:41:48,460
So professional. Yeah, and then it was just like wide-liners. Our backup was sad liners

1083
01:41:51,980 --> 01:41:57,900
It was a bit of a half measure backup Yeah, we wanted we wanted to we wanted to uh

1084
01:41:58,540 --> 01:42:04,860
Put them very firmly in a corner of we can publish a meme picture or we can publish a meme picture. Oh my god

1085
01:42:06,060 --> 01:42:11,580
Alexi's right, dude make another poster. You should do wide-liners as a poster. No, no text on it even just

1086
01:42:12,220 --> 01:42:17,020
Huge liners face. No, we did some like meme products with that in the past and honestly, I regret it

1087
01:42:17,020 --> 01:42:20,220
I wish we didn't do it the people who bought it. They seem to like it

1088
01:42:20,460 --> 01:42:23,740
It didn't actually sell that well like I was opposed to it in the first place

1089
01:42:24,380 --> 01:42:30,380
It didn't sell that well and more importantly. I want LTT Store to be I think you're doing like the sequin pillows and stuff

1090
01:42:30,460 --> 01:42:35,420
Yeah, we also did a desk pad. I didn't like those. We did mouse pads as well. Yeah, but that would have been white background

1091
01:42:35,420 --> 01:42:41,100
Wouldn't it? Um, no, no, we did we did like liners face like liners selfie the the the wide one

1092
01:42:41,260 --> 01:42:44,220
We did that as a mouse pad. I gave one to my dad. Yeah

1093
01:42:45,340 --> 01:42:49,500
He hates it. He has to have it turned away because the liners scares him. Yeah, so I I don't know

1094
01:42:49,580 --> 01:42:57,260
I I I don't want us to become like a like red bubble, you know, like first-party red bubble store. No

1095
01:42:57,260 --> 01:43:02,140
Yeah, I I genuinely thought a poster of it would be funny. I didn't like the sequin pillows either

1096
01:43:02,700 --> 01:43:05,980
um but anyways

1097
01:43:05,980 --> 01:43:10,460
I want LTT Store to be taken seriously Linus 2025 also LTT Store

1098
01:43:12,700 --> 01:43:16,300
Well, I can't do anything about like Elijah making promises

1099
01:43:16,300 --> 01:43:22,140
Is Technically you can yeah, I was gonna say I mean once it's out in public

1100
01:43:22,860 --> 01:43:27,260
Well, okay, but I shouldn't I shouldn't like that's I think that's the strength of our organization though

1101
01:43:27,260 --> 01:43:32,460
Is that we we allow fresh ideas? We don't disagree with this. I'm just saying fresh ideas

1102
01:43:33,100 --> 01:43:36,460
And sometimes those fresh ideas are just sort of awful and

1103
01:43:37,260 --> 01:43:39,260
We live with those consequences

1104
01:43:40,300 --> 01:43:43,180
They can come out moldy. It's the the curse of

1105
01:43:44,060 --> 01:43:50,700
Growing as an organization. Yeah Dan Dan 160 and Floatplane chat says at Linus. We are still your boss. Yeah

1106
01:43:51,420 --> 01:43:55,740
I mean, that's the thing right a weird thing is like you think about how how connected you are in

1107
01:43:56,220 --> 01:43:59,980
You are to the company, right? You have a lot of feelers and a lot of things that are going on

1108
01:44:00,220 --> 01:44:04,220
You definitely don't know more than half the things that happen in a week at the company. No

1109
01:44:05,180 --> 01:44:11,740
Like not even close not even close. Yeah. Yeah, um you can't anymore. You got a hundred people presumably like

1110
01:44:12,300 --> 01:44:14,780
Working an entire work week like these are these are

1111
01:44:15,340 --> 01:44:20,060
More than that when you count the contractors and remote even though, you know in the grand scheme of things

1112
01:44:20,060 --> 01:44:28,460
You know compared to the kinds of companies that we are talking about right? We're talking about an AMD or an Intel or an NVIDIA or whatever else like compared to these these behemoths

1113
01:44:29,020 --> 01:44:32,300
We are tiny peanuts, but these are still

1114
01:44:33,020 --> 01:44:38,860
Unfathomable numbers on a weekly basis. Let me let me just do the math here because it's 40 hours a week per person

1115
01:44:39,260 --> 01:44:45,260
On a weekly basis. We are doing 4 000 hours how you supposed to keep up with that of work

1116
01:44:48,460 --> 01:44:53,100
Like it's it's on the on the one hand sometimes you look at sort of the organizational inefficiencies

1117
01:44:53,100 --> 01:44:59,900
You go it's a bloody miracle. We can get anything done And then on the other hand you look at some of the things that we accomplish and you go, holy crap

1118
01:44:59,980 --> 01:45:07,340
How is this even possible? This is incredible Sometimes in the same meeting. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's actually pretty common. Yeah

1119
01:45:09,100 --> 01:45:12,220
Oh What else we got?

1120
01:45:12,380 --> 01:45:19,260
Yeah, let's maybe do one more Hello, lld. I'm looking into getting a 5090 and possibly doing a giveaway for it

1121
01:45:19,420 --> 01:45:26,460
Or a system when I launch my pc themed card game later this year any advice on hosting a giveaway or things to consider

1122
01:45:27,820 --> 01:45:34,060
I will say this Hosting a giveaway is not something that we have found is a particularly effective

1123
01:45:34,380 --> 01:45:42,860
Promotional tool. We've had some really good success with charity auctions. Those have done really really well in terms of resonating with our community

1124
01:45:43,500 --> 01:45:49,100
Um, that makes sense. But the thing about giveaways that we found is that you think man

1125
01:45:49,740 --> 01:45:57,740
I am making one winner. I am making one lucky winner. Yeah, what you're actually doing because people are mostly

1126
01:45:59,180 --> 01:46:02,460
self Centered which makes sense

1127
01:46:03,100 --> 01:46:05,900
And and I mean this in the context of compared to strangers

1128
01:46:06,220 --> 01:46:10,620
I think that if you talk to the average person, they are probably extremely generous

1129
01:46:10,940 --> 01:46:17,180
If their buddy wins it that they know they'll be stoked. Yeah, but everybody else in the pool is not their buddy

1130
01:46:17,500 --> 01:46:20,940
They're just a stranger and they would much rather have it for themselves

1131
01:46:21,340 --> 01:46:27,260
So what effectively you've done is if you have a thousand entries into the draw is you have created

1132
01:46:27,660 --> 01:46:35,900
999 losers and minus one. Yeah, and that's it. That's their experience with your brand. That's their exposure to your brand

1133
01:46:37,740 --> 01:46:43,740
You might get people just like signing up for the giveaway But I doubt that they are going to have any kind of long-term

1134
01:46:44,300 --> 01:46:49,900
affiliation with you or your brand and I have personally not had great experience with just like

1135
01:46:50,540 --> 01:46:56,940
Doing giveaways to you know promote a thing we're doing or whatever else I it doesn't it hasn't been very effective for us

1136
01:46:57,980 --> 01:47:02,140
Some brands still do it though and clearly they're getting some kind of ROI like AMD

1137
01:47:02,780 --> 01:47:07,100
They they are really into doing the giveaways as part of AMD ultimate tech upgrade

1138
01:47:07,580 --> 01:47:12,380
Just as a way to kind of drive engagement. Although I do think a lot of the time stuff like that pretty much comes down to

1139
01:47:13,260 --> 01:47:16,860
like A team trying to create a kpi that

1140
01:47:17,340 --> 01:47:20,220
Proves that somebody interacted with the media that they sponsored

1141
01:47:20,940 --> 01:47:24,940
And so it probably comes more down to that like hey here is provable

1142
01:47:25,340 --> 01:47:31,420
demonstrable Evidence that this this piece of content we sponsored this AMD ultimate tech upgrade

1143
01:47:31,900 --> 01:47:37,420
Was viewed and people interacted with our brand even if the giveaway itself has absolutely nothing to do with

1144
01:47:37,900 --> 01:47:43,260
you know what their What their desired outcome is like it's it's mostly an exposure campaign AMD

1145
01:47:44,700 --> 01:47:52,700
Exerts Functionally zero force on the content of these videos all they ask is that there's an AMD product in it and you guys like

1146
01:47:53,260 --> 01:47:56,380
You know in good faith don't completely freaking ignore it

1147
01:47:57,820 --> 01:48:03,500
That's that's all from my understanding. That's pretty much all that they ask plus the the giveaway call the call outs

1148
01:48:04,220 --> 01:48:07,420
I used to stream a bunch and when I did that

1149
01:48:07,900 --> 01:48:12,700
Um at one point in time My stream was almost functionally a giveaway stream

1150
01:48:12,700 --> 01:48:17,100
I would buy humble bundle keys and other people in the community would buy humble bundle keys

1151
01:48:17,180 --> 01:48:24,700
And we'd put them all in a pile and we'd give them away And it got to the point where we were giving away so many keys because I was like almost trying to buffer against this whole

1152
01:48:25,020 --> 01:48:29,420
You're just making losers thing that it started making losers anyways

1153
01:48:29,580 --> 01:48:32,780
But the losers it was making were people that only won one game

1154
01:48:33,180 --> 01:48:39,580
versus other people that won more than one game And it got to a point was just like this is this is just stupid

1155
01:48:39,660 --> 01:48:43,980
So we stopped and then I converted my whole stream to almost effectively

1156
01:48:44,460 --> 01:48:47,420
Charity streaming for like two or three years and we raised like

1157
01:48:47,580 --> 01:48:52,540
I think in the end over those years we raised over 100 grand for bc children's and that was cool

1158
01:48:52,780 --> 01:48:56,460
And that community was really cool. And then I moved and stopped streaming

1159
01:48:56,860 --> 01:49:00,940
But sick, but that was like that was the correct pivot is basically what I'm saying

1160
01:49:03,020 --> 01:49:07,900
Yeah, Graham's nice guy Okay, what's next mr. Dan?

1161
01:49:09,260 --> 01:49:14,060
Oh, we get to do more topics. Whoo. We have been bamboo zold

1162
01:49:15,020 --> 01:49:20,140
bamboo Labs maker of some of the most popular 3d printers for home users has announced a security update

1163
01:49:21,420 --> 01:49:24,860
In which they update they are limiting third-party tool access

1164
01:49:25,180 --> 01:49:32,460
For example certain slicer programs bamboo claims this update will ensure only authorized access and operations are permitted and mitigate risks of

1165
01:49:32,460 --> 01:49:35,980
Remote hacks or printer exposure issues. We talked about this a little bit last week

1166
01:49:36,460 --> 01:49:42,620
The 3d printing community quickly became outraged by this worried about the long-term effects such as

1167
01:49:43,180 --> 01:49:48,620
Um that this might allow bamboo in the future to restrict filament types add a possible subscription

1168
01:49:49,100 --> 01:49:51,100
They also raised many more concerns

1169
01:49:52,140 --> 01:49:56,140
bamboo did put out a response titled setting the record straight about our security update

1170
01:49:57,500 --> 01:50:02,620
In which they denied the claims about some people's future concerns like restricting filament or possible subscriptions

1171
01:50:03,340 --> 01:50:11,340
but They don't seem to have addressed and they said that this is this is security related only but people are basically still

1172
01:50:11,660 --> 01:50:14,620
Super not happy about it. And I think this is a pretty

1173
01:50:15,340 --> 01:50:20,860
unnecessary stain on their reputation um, I'm going to leave this to the people who

1174
01:50:21,980 --> 01:50:27,020
Kind of understand the tools that they're using and and the impact better before I weighed too deep into it

1175
01:50:27,260 --> 01:50:30,060
But I will say the reputational damage has obviously been

1176
01:50:30,540 --> 01:50:35,580
Very very high as someone whose household almost exclusively uses the bamboo handy app already

1177
01:50:37,340 --> 01:50:44,780
Yeah, I know right um, it's a great name It's not going to impact me until they like screw it up even more potentially

1178
01:50:45,260 --> 01:50:50,060
But I definitely want to throw my support behind our brothers who want more open

1179
01:50:50,700 --> 01:50:54,700
tools Samsung has quietly removed

1180
01:50:55,260 --> 01:50:58,540
Bluetooth connectivity from the galaxy s25 ultra's s-pen

1181
01:50:59,100 --> 01:51:06,220
This change takes away air actions, which lets users open apps navigate through galleries or use the s-pen as a remote camera shutter

1182
01:51:07,180 --> 01:51:09,740
Over the many years that I used a note 9

1183
01:51:10,860 --> 01:51:13,500
the camera shutter remote control

1184
01:51:14,460 --> 01:51:19,660
was Probably my most used feature with the stylus people talking about all the time

1185
01:51:19,660 --> 01:51:28,300
It is so everyone that I know that has an s-pen It was so handy. This would be enough for me to not consider an s25 and to just get an s24

1186
01:51:28,940 --> 01:51:34,860
uh, samsung explained that the decision was driven by low user engagement and pointed out that similar functions are available in the galaxy watch

1187
01:51:35,260 --> 01:51:40,940
Starting at $60 and the galaxy ring starting at $300. Whoa interesting. Sorry

1188
01:51:41,660 --> 01:51:46,300
Rest assured in full plane chat said we are in the dod supply chain or department of defense

1189
01:51:46,300 --> 01:51:52,540
I'm assuming they're american And had to throw out all of our bamboo printers because it requires an account hosted in china now

1190
01:51:53,820 --> 01:52:02,300
Adam whoa Crazy so, uh, I guess what he's saying is you should probably sneak onto dod property and dig through their dumpsters

1191
01:52:03,020 --> 01:52:10,620
Slash s slash s good. Good. Good. Good luck. Do not do that. Don't even try

1192
01:52:11,980 --> 01:52:14,540
If you do log it poor chat poor chat

1193
01:52:16,220 --> 01:52:23,020
No guys if you do vlog it. It's just a prank bro contact shy. It's just a prank. Um, anyways, um

1194
01:52:23,740 --> 01:52:27,900
A redditor has written a script to put words in my mouth

1195
01:52:28,620 --> 01:52:31,580
Little did he know he doesn't need a script for that. He can just misquote me

1196
01:52:32,300 --> 01:52:35,660
By snipping out context a redditor lab tech 901

1197
01:52:36,140 --> 01:52:44,220
Wrote a script that takes clips of me saying specific words in wandshow vods and rearranges them to make me say whatever they want

1198
01:52:45,900 --> 01:52:48,380
Let's have a look at some of the results here

1199
01:52:49,820 --> 01:52:51,820
Dan do I have audio?

1200
01:52:53,660 --> 01:52:59,980
No Yeah, that's fine a twitch chat open in a tab by accident. Who cares?

1201
01:53:00,940 --> 01:53:03,340
You know, I haven't attacked twitch chat much lately

1202
01:53:04,700 --> 01:53:10,780
Yeah, I kind of miss my favorite punching bag. Love you guys. You're awful. All right ready Dan

1203
01:53:13,020 --> 01:53:17,980
Hello, my name is Linus today. I want to talk to you about something very important to me

1204
01:53:18,060 --> 01:53:22,780
I do not like the viewers. I do not like luke and I definitely do not like Dan

1205
01:53:22,860 --> 01:53:27,420
I do not like Dan so much that's I'm helped he goes away and never returns

1206
01:53:27,500 --> 01:53:29,500
I also want to talk about

1207
01:53:31,980 --> 01:53:33,980
It reminds me of um

1208
01:53:35,980 --> 01:53:42,460
Homer simpson with the that episode. No, there's uh, there's uh, okay, so

1209
01:53:43,180 --> 01:53:49,340
Apparently it was kind of quarts from back in the day. We're kind of like that But then there's another there's a I do want to just drop the link if people want to check it out

1210
01:53:49,420 --> 01:53:52,380
Yeah, sure. There's a youtube creator. I don't know how many people are going to like these songs

1211
01:53:52,460 --> 01:53:55,980
but uh his youtube creator called young scrolls that makes

1212
01:53:57,660 --> 01:54:01,180
What now that makes elder scrolls music

1213
01:54:01,740 --> 01:54:05,260
Uh, st gm. I I genuinely really like this ep

1214
01:54:05,820 --> 01:54:09,900
Uh, but they he makes elder scrolls music based on voice lines from the game

1215
01:54:10,460 --> 01:54:16,940
um It's a daggoth wave is legitimately a six song has 13 million views. I'm not surprised it is dope

1216
01:54:18,940 --> 01:54:25,340
It's But it sounds some of it can sound kind of like that because it's it's lines taken from different parts of the game

1217
01:54:25,500 --> 01:54:34,060
Um, and I I kind of like they're they're incredibly good at what they do to the point where like they make it sound good anyways

1218
01:54:34,460 --> 01:54:39,980
Um, and I I did appreciate I saw someone when when AI music started kicking off a bunch

1219
01:54:40,300 --> 01:54:47,420
People were like, oh like you can use this now Like you don't have to just pull voice lines from the game and like stitch them together and make your music that way

1220
01:54:47,420 --> 01:54:53,100
You can make it like flow better by making them speak the lines out properly using AI voices and they were like no

1221
01:54:54,060 --> 01:54:57,340
The reason why I do it the way I do it is because I like it the way I do it and I was like sick

1222
01:54:58,060 --> 01:55:01,900
Fair enough nice, but yeah, it immediately listen to that immediately

1223
01:55:02,220 --> 01:55:06,940
I reminded me of young scrolls Dan, do you know what spider web cables are from that last merch message that popped up?

1224
01:55:07,500 --> 01:55:11,820
Because I am super interested in fiber splicing and stuff too. I've wanted to do a video on that for a while

1225
01:55:11,900 --> 01:55:14,780
We just don't really find an expert to kind of walk us through it

1226
01:55:15,420 --> 01:55:20,620
Um, and then we'll basically just kind of stand there and go Yeah, and then we'll try it and we'll probably fail and it'll be fun

1227
01:55:20,860 --> 01:55:25,900
Yeah, because we have a little tiny baby, you know fusion slicer. Yeah, I would love to I'd love to do that

1228
01:55:25,900 --> 01:55:31,020
I want to do that. Can we can we can we can we do that? I want to do that Linus post on the forum in the video suggestion

1229
01:55:32,620 --> 01:55:37,260
You did you just tell me to post on the forum? Yeah, okay, uh, maybe uh instead

1230
01:55:37,420 --> 01:55:40,620
I actually don't know how to uh tell people that we have a video idea

1231
01:55:41,020 --> 01:55:45,820
Uh Internally, I mean oh internally. Oh you can just send it to um

1232
01:55:47,340 --> 01:55:49,340
Dance, okay. Okay, cool

1233
01:55:50,700 --> 01:55:53,580
What else we got bye bye blu-ray according to tom's hardware

1234
01:55:53,820 --> 01:55:58,620
Sony announced that it will end production of recordable blu-ray discs also mini disc

1235
01:55:59,740 --> 01:56:05,020
They still made mini disc um md data and mini dv cassettes in february

1236
01:56:05,500 --> 01:56:10,700
The company had already discontinued recordable consumer blu-ray and optical discs in mid 2024

1237
01:56:10,860 --> 01:56:15,820
And at the time indicated they would continue production for business and corporate clients until it became unprofitable

1238
01:56:16,300 --> 01:56:21,340
I guess it is this day Some media outlets are mistakenly reporting this as the end of blu-ray

1239
01:56:21,420 --> 01:56:24,940
But professionally replicated blu-ray movies are not affected by this announcement

1240
01:56:25,260 --> 01:56:30,460
And sony is not the only producer of blank media pioneer even has discs that are good for 100 years

1241
01:56:30,940 --> 01:56:37,900
So that's just a quick little bit. I wanted to uh throw in there and then finally tiktok is back on january 18th

1242
01:56:38,060 --> 01:56:45,260
Two hours before the official ban came into effect tiktok began shutting down its services in the us including cutting live streams that were currently

1243
01:56:45,260 --> 01:56:48,700
Active and force rebooting the app for users who had it open

1244
01:56:49,340 --> 01:56:53,340
Once it was reopened they were met with a message explaining the situation and the ban

1245
01:56:54,060 --> 01:56:59,900
Less than an hour later the message was changed to explain that they are hopeful about working with president trump to change this ban

1246
01:57:00,140 --> 01:57:04,540
And then less than 12 hours later services were restored in the us with the following message

1247
01:57:05,100 --> 01:57:10,540
Thank you for providing the necessary clarity and assurance to our service providers that they will face no penalties for providing tiktok to

1248
01:57:10,540 --> 01:57:15,020
Over 178 million americans and allowing over 7 million small businesses to thrive

1249
01:57:16,300 --> 01:57:19,580
um So tiktok is back

1250
01:57:19,580 --> 01:57:25,580
But it has to have 50 ownership be under a us-based company

1251
01:57:26,300 --> 01:57:29,420
So We will see how that goes

1252
01:57:30,460 --> 01:57:35,420
I think mr. Beast is bidding for it Oh boy. Yeah, right

1253
01:57:36,300 --> 01:57:42,940
Why don't we do Windshow after dark. I'm not gonna lie. My mouth's getting a little sore. So uh, you are feeling it a little bit

1254
01:57:42,940 --> 01:57:47,100
I'm feeling it a little bit that makes sense. Yeah, I uh, overall it went really well

1255
01:57:47,420 --> 01:57:52,220
I'm very surprised. I had the uppers this time. I had the lowers last time and I didn't go under

1256
01:57:52,540 --> 01:57:55,260
I just had local numbing and they like

1257
01:57:56,460 --> 01:58:01,660
Basically dug in there and got them because they were impacted so that is to say they were covered by the gum

1258
01:58:02,140 --> 01:58:05,660
Um, it was a pretty awful experience. I was knocked on my butt for a couple days

1259
01:58:05,740 --> 01:58:10,700
I needed the pain meds. It was got a little bit infected. No no dry socket. Thankfully

1260
01:58:11,260 --> 01:58:14,780
Um, but yeah, it it sucked and then this time

1261
01:58:15,260 --> 01:58:19,980
Because the experience was so awful last time when they asked me. Hey, do you just want general anesthesia?

1262
01:58:19,980 --> 01:58:24,540
I've never gone under before and I've always been a little bit uneasy about it. Um,

1263
01:58:25,100 --> 01:58:30,540
Just because like very very very occasionally you can like not wake up and stuff like it's still, you know chemicals in your body

1264
01:58:30,540 --> 01:58:34,140
Which is not a thing. I'm a huge fan of overall um

1265
01:58:34,140 --> 01:58:36,860
But the cost difference was like negligible because

1266
01:58:37,500 --> 01:58:44,700
Contrary to what a lot of um, people think we have an imperfect health care system, but it isn't um,

1267
01:58:45,500 --> 01:58:51,820
You know just completely horrible. There are a lot of things I do like about it. There's a lot of things that it's numerous flaws

1268
01:58:51,820 --> 01:58:54,940
There's a lot of things that are bad about it But there's a lot of things that are not that bad about it

1269
01:58:54,940 --> 01:58:58,140
So the the the cost difference for going under general anesthesia was

1270
01:58:58,780 --> 01:59:01,580
Pretty minor and I was like, you know what? Sure

1271
01:59:02,300 --> 01:59:05,900
Let's uh, let's go for gold. So they basically injected the one thing into the IV

1272
01:59:06,300 --> 01:59:09,500
Injected the seventh thing second thing into the IV and I kind of went

1273
01:59:10,140 --> 01:59:12,540
Oh, yeah, is that it and I woke up. Um

1274
01:59:13,660 --> 01:59:19,660
Hours later. It was shockingly fast Um, so anyway, yeah, so I went under general. They removed the whole thing. Um

1275
01:59:20,540 --> 01:59:23,260
And then we posted a Floatplane exclusive of

1276
01:59:24,140 --> 01:59:28,220
me Coming at me heading in and then me coming down

1277
01:59:28,220 --> 01:59:33,740
This is this is me before because I wouldn't be driving if I just woke up from general anesthetic still before

1278
01:59:34,620 --> 01:59:37,260
Uh, yeah, this is me extremely high

1279
01:59:37,980 --> 01:59:45,580
Uh, anyway, that's on Floatplane right now But you're but you're smiling and walking around so it must not have been that bad like right off the hop

1280
01:59:45,660 --> 01:59:53,900
I don't know. I don't remember Fair enough. Uh, so yeah, that's but I know you were you were in voice chat playing games with like employees

1281
01:59:54,540 --> 01:59:59,420
I think on like a day or two. Oh really? It was Wednesday. Yeah, I think no

1282
02:00:00,060 --> 02:00:03,820
I think so no Tuesday Tuesday. You sure? Yeah. Anyway, I was at the gym

1283
02:00:04,220 --> 02:00:10,780
Anyway, after I woke up from sort of like my twilight sort of first day. I uh, it's been really good

1284
02:00:10,860 --> 02:00:13,660
They did an amazing job. The sutures are super clean

1285
02:00:14,220 --> 02:00:18,060
Um, nothing's really gotten infected or anything and so now I work. No, this was an after work

1286
02:00:18,300 --> 02:00:25,100
Just people having fun thing Now I'm sitting here kind of going like man, I should I have even bothered going under because it was yeah

1287
02:00:25,100 --> 02:00:29,420
It was overall pretty good. I saw a lot of comments that are like, what is he going under general for for this?

1288
02:00:29,500 --> 02:00:35,740
It's it's relatively common here for people to do it Um, and the only reason that I did it was because the experience the first time was

1289
02:00:36,860 --> 02:00:42,780
Pretty uh was pretty not very good. Um, but yeah, the tops are supposed to be easier

1290
02:00:43,100 --> 02:00:48,780
I just I guess I just was like, yeah, but like how much easier and if it doesn't change things that much

1291
02:00:48,860 --> 02:00:53,100
I guess I'll just do it. So yeah, yeah, I basically had a really really fit full nap

1292
02:00:53,820 --> 02:00:58,620
and uh, and then Was this guy for a bit

1293
02:01:01,980 --> 02:01:09,900
What's so out of it? Oh my goodness. I'm excited to watch that. Oh man. Oh man. I'm assuming there's some of on commentary to you

1294
02:01:11,820 --> 02:01:15,180
Uh, she's filming right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She's she's the one who filmed it. Yeah

1295
02:01:15,980 --> 02:01:20,140
All right after dark. Yeah, let's do it. Yeah

1296
02:01:22,460 --> 02:01:25,820
There we are. All right, you ready for some merge messages? Yes

1297
02:01:26,380 --> 02:01:34,140
Hi DLL building a new pc soon But not sure whether to go with a 9800 x3d now or wait for the 9950 x3d benchmarks

1298
02:01:34,460 --> 02:01:40,620
What do you think about AMD's claims that the 9950 will match the 9800 gaming performance?

1299
02:01:40,700 --> 02:01:45,180
I think it's pretty likely. I mean most games are not going to be touching more than eight cores these days

1300
02:01:45,260 --> 02:01:50,540
And so as long as they're steering everything to the right die and we're not splitting the load across ccds

1301
02:01:51,020 --> 02:02:00,460
There's no real reason that a 9950 x3d that I can think of should not perform about like a 9800 x3d would

1302
02:02:01,500 --> 02:02:06,380
As long as they, you know, give it all the power and thermal headroom that it needs as long as you have adequate cooling on it

1303
02:02:06,620 --> 02:02:10,860
um I mean, it's basically got a 9800 x3d

1304
02:02:11,420 --> 02:02:17,660
There and then it has like another die with eight more 10 five cores, but no 3d vcache. So

1305
02:02:19,100 --> 02:02:23,980
It all comes down to how well AMD through, you know, microcode working with microsoft

1306
02:02:24,060 --> 02:02:29,500
All that stuff can can manage the load and make sure that all the correct load is following on all the correct course

1307
02:02:31,820 --> 02:02:36,380
Hey lily luke and Dan after your last tooth removal, you said you didn't want a risk

1308
02:02:37,260 --> 02:02:41,980
Of going under what changed your mind this time? Um, I don't know yolo

1309
02:02:44,620 --> 02:02:48,540
It's pretty bad last time. Yeah, I kind of sucked last time the chance of risk

1310
02:02:49,420 --> 02:02:53,260
Is pretty low. It is pretty low. It exists. Yep

1311
02:02:53,980 --> 02:02:58,860
And I would I don't know if I'd ever recommend someone do it just because I wouldn't want to be responsible for that

1312
02:02:58,940 --> 02:03:04,940
But I went in saying that I I didn't want to do it But then he was like, um, yours are growing in like sideways and stuff

1313
02:03:05,020 --> 02:03:08,940
You need to go under and I was like, well, and I do wonder if me going under general

1314
02:03:09,420 --> 02:03:13,820
You know made me a compliant enough patient that they were able to really get in there and do a better job

1315
02:03:13,820 --> 02:03:20,940
Like I I actually do kind of wonder that was also mentioned Mine were like really far back and they were like, we're gonna have to torque your jaw around like a lot

1316
02:03:21,100 --> 02:03:23,100
So it's better if it's kind of droopy

1317
02:03:24,540 --> 02:03:29,900
Nice and the tongue as far as my understanding goes Right can be really annoying if you're like awake

1318
02:03:30,380 --> 02:03:33,740
Right. Yeah, anyways, I don't know. I don't know what I'm talking about

1319
02:03:34,940 --> 02:03:39,420
Linus the short Luke the tall and Dan the man Is there any decision that you have made recently that

1320
02:03:40,380 --> 02:03:44,780
I don't know That you from 10 years ago wouldn't agree with or vice versa

1321
02:03:44,860 --> 02:03:48,460
And why can't staff swear even in flow plane exclusives? Sure

1322
02:03:48,540 --> 02:03:52,540
I'm gonna take the easy cop out answer and I wouldn't have gone under general 10 years ago

1323
02:03:52,620 --> 02:03:58,220
But I'm just like, yeah, whatever screw it Go for it. I'm I don't know as I as I get older in some ways

1324
02:03:58,300 --> 02:04:03,980
I'm getting like way more conservative But as I get older in some ways, I'm also getting way more yolo. So

1325
02:04:05,100 --> 02:04:07,660
I don't know how to reconcile to clarify

1326
02:04:08,300 --> 02:04:11,980
Conservative as oh like in in terms of being risk averse. There you go

1327
02:04:14,940 --> 02:04:20,460
Any who would just sit on that for a minute as for whether staff can't swear they absolutely can we just bleep it

1328
02:04:20,620 --> 02:04:26,780
Yeah, yeah people people People swear all the time in this office. It's fucking unprofessional is what it is

1329
02:04:27,420 --> 02:04:33,260
my bad I learned from luke. I'm trying to get I'm trying to get better. I'm actually actively working on it

1330
02:04:33,260 --> 02:04:38,620
It's not working very well, but I'm trying. I think it's more punctual now. I don't think it's important

1331
02:04:40,140 --> 02:04:48,220
I don't think it's a Good thing. I also don't necessarily like I don't there's a point really against it. Yeah, but I think like

1332
02:04:49,180 --> 02:04:55,660
For me, I think it it can limit the use of language sometimes because you use they're often used as like

1333
02:04:56,460 --> 02:05:04,460
multi-use words And uh killer words. Yeah, you can you can stretch your vocabulary more and stuff by not using them as much

1334
02:05:04,460 --> 02:05:08,540
I think that's one of the reasons why I want to do it um her chance I'm never gonna like

1335
02:05:09,020 --> 02:05:17,100
completely stop but uh Yeah, I think also being better at reining it in around a certain company like kids or whatever else

1336
02:05:17,660 --> 02:05:24,860
Um would be good Yes, it would. Yeah, my kids are gonna be old enough that it's not gonna matter by the time you get that sort of dope

1337
02:05:25,420 --> 02:05:29,100
luke really Yeah, it's not

1338
02:05:29,100 --> 02:05:33,820
My biggest problem is generally when we're like playing games because I'll you get hype

1339
02:05:34,220 --> 02:05:40,220
Well, and I'm just like like on wancho. I don't because my brain like switches into this mode, but when I'm playing games

1340
02:05:41,900 --> 02:05:46,060
Gaming with my bro. I'm in gaming with my bro's mode. So my brain isn't like thinking like oh, yeah

1341
02:05:46,060 --> 02:05:50,220
I don't say that. Um I don't know

1342
02:05:50,220 --> 02:05:52,620
It's not great. It doesn't feel like a good look

1343
02:05:53,980 --> 02:05:57,260
Decisions you made recently that you from 10 years ago wouldn't agree with

1344
02:05:57,740 --> 02:05:59,740
um

1345
02:06:02,620 --> 02:06:07,580
Decisions I made recently I feel like I'm gonna twist this and go with like observations. I think

1346
02:06:09,020 --> 02:06:14,460
10 years ago having self-recognition that there's like really cool things about being a what I know understand were

1347
02:06:14,940 --> 02:06:19,100
Barely out of small, but what feels like huge company um

1348
02:06:19,100 --> 02:06:24,540
There are like benefits to it. You were like adamantly. Oh, yeah against like any about growth sometimes

1349
02:06:24,620 --> 02:06:30,780
There are still parts about it. I do not like oh 100 um 100 and I think I probably do feel strongly

1350
02:06:31,100 --> 02:06:33,660
More strongly about that than most people here

1351
02:06:35,900 --> 02:06:41,100
But there are more things that I do like about it than I would have expected for sure

1352
02:06:41,420 --> 02:06:44,540
Yeah, and certain of my decisions have

1353
02:06:45,900 --> 02:06:49,820
Contributed to leading us down a path of continued expansion over time

1354
02:06:50,380 --> 02:06:53,580
um so like

1355
02:06:54,300 --> 02:06:56,460
That would be very surprising for me, I think

1356
02:06:58,860 --> 02:07:05,660
Hey Linus, I remember you mentioned a while back that you wanted to make more women's clothing and was wondering if an LTT skirt was in the pipeline

1357
02:07:06,300 --> 02:07:09,980
Not that I'm aware of I've also got some other merch messages

1358
02:07:10,940 --> 02:07:14,780
About women's clothing in general and if it's not selling well and if you're planning to do more at all

1359
02:07:15,740 --> 02:07:19,340
Uh, no, it hasn't sold particularly well. I don't think we've lost money

1360
02:07:19,340 --> 02:07:26,460
But I think overall we have not made any money on it. So there's a a significant opportunity cost there when our team is

1361
02:07:27,180 --> 02:07:33,340
Working hard and building what I believe are really good products. Like our our women's clothing was really

1362
02:07:34,060 --> 02:07:37,420
good And it not selling. I mean that just

1363
02:07:38,060 --> 02:07:43,660
It's it's discouraging across the board right both for the being counters and for the people that poor

1364
02:07:44,220 --> 02:07:49,580
You know, you got to think about it, right? Like they pour their life, you know into what they create

1365
02:07:50,060 --> 02:07:53,180
Um, we we take that kind of thing really seriously

1366
02:07:53,180 --> 02:08:01,180
We don't want to we don't want to waste our time, right? And so if we're if we're making something really great and ultimately, you know, it's not it's not resonating

1367
02:08:01,260 --> 02:08:04,780
You know, it's not resonating enough then we'd rather create something that makes

1368
02:08:05,340 --> 02:08:10,140
You know more people really happy. It's it's just it's a natural thing and whether that's you know, whether that's right or not

1369
02:08:11,820 --> 02:08:15,740
You know, uh, yeah, we could we could debate about that till the cows come home

1370
02:08:15,740 --> 02:08:21,820
But at the end of the day, like think about your own dopamine hit, right? Like if you post something on reddit and it gets four upvotes or you post something on reddit

1371
02:08:21,900 --> 02:08:34,460
It gets 40 000 upvotes, which one makes you feel better So, yeah, I I still want to you know, try to support it as best we can but it's just not really it's not really flying as it is right now

1372
02:08:36,940 --> 02:08:44,700
Hey, alina slick and who again if you had to choose whether to turn off the taps for hardware or software development forever

1373
02:08:44,940 --> 02:08:50,860
Which would you choose? Thanks for keeping it positive you guys in the context where you say hardware and software

1374
02:08:51,180 --> 02:08:55,500
It really makes it sound like you're talking about electronics hardware in which case

1375
02:08:56,780 --> 02:08:59,180
To your knowledge, we aren't doing any of that

1376
02:09:00,300 --> 02:09:05,660
And we certainly can't turn off software development I don't think he means I got the company. You know in general

1377
02:09:06,860 --> 02:09:15,420
Oh, I think this is more like a oh, well, I traditional would I'd rather have all the hardware we have today forever and continue seeing software develop

1378
02:09:15,900 --> 02:09:18,700
You find new innovative ways to use it. No question. That's not even

1379
02:09:19,660 --> 02:09:25,980
I mean, unless you disagree hit me. No, yeah, I think so. I guess like really do you want to play all the same games that you play today?

1380
02:09:26,620 --> 02:09:30,540
On like faster and faster hardware. They would have to optimize the games

1381
02:09:32,300 --> 02:09:38,300
I actually pitched a I pitched a video internally today called game developers are not lazy

1382
02:09:38,620 --> 02:09:42,620
Because this is just a completely f***ing bull s*** argument

1383
02:09:43,740 --> 02:09:46,860
Yeah, sorry. I probably shouldn't stare up my own drama

1384
02:09:47,340 --> 02:09:52,140
Dude, I just keep I keep seeing people just video dance just mindlessly parrot

1385
02:09:52,620 --> 02:10:00,700
Having seemingly no understanding whatsoever of the actual dynamics that are at play in the games industry

1386
02:10:01,020 --> 02:10:04,860
Even I understand just a fraction of it having never worked in it

1387
02:10:05,260 --> 02:10:09,180
But I understand it well enough to know that if a game has a problem

1388
02:10:09,420 --> 02:10:15,820
It almost certainly doesn't boil down to that every f***ing developer who worked on it is a lazy f***ing s*** hole

1389
02:10:16,140 --> 02:10:18,140
Like it's there's there's no way

1390
02:10:19,260 --> 02:10:26,780
Yeah, nerdle and chat says uh as a back-end developer can confirm everything I do takes 0.001 seconds slash s

1391
02:10:27,340 --> 02:10:30,940
No, like come on. Does it use php properly?

1392
02:10:31,980 --> 02:10:34,700
Gerald says what about spaghetti code? There are

1393
02:10:35,900 --> 02:10:40,380
Organizational issues. There are workflow issues. There are management issues

1394
02:10:40,940 --> 02:10:44,220
There are tons of issues that can lead to sloppy work

1395
02:10:44,300 --> 02:10:50,540
And you know what sometimes it's because a developer is an absolute just complete f***ing idiot and sucks

1396
02:10:51,260 --> 02:10:54,780
And they and they should not be doing that job and they and they totally suck

1397
02:10:55,420 --> 02:10:57,900
I would hazard a guess that that is

1398
02:10:59,740 --> 02:11:03,820
Overwhelmingly rare. There's also people that aren't really developers that somehow

1399
02:11:04,380 --> 02:11:08,940
You know fumble their way through managing to make a game. Yeah, but the game is good

1400
02:11:09,500 --> 02:11:13,500
It might just be like coded terribly Undertale

1401
02:11:13,500 --> 02:11:21,980
Famously is like 10,000 nested ifs. It's crazy. It's actually bonkers incredibly famous game. Yeah super successful people love it

1402
02:11:22,060 --> 02:11:26,380
It's made by artists. They're making art Yeah

1403
02:11:26,540 --> 02:11:31,260
Maybe they do need ray tracing to actually get it to function the way that they want the the elitism so much

1404
02:11:31,580 --> 02:11:35,900
Is the game fun? Just make fun games. Is the game fun? I want that as a tattoo

1405
02:11:36,300 --> 02:11:41,580
If the game not fun, then who cares anyways, who cares if a spaghetti goat if the game's not fun

1406
02:11:43,020 --> 02:11:46,780
Parasocial friends Linus, I see you on reddit often

1407
02:11:46,940 --> 02:11:53,260
Which social platforms do you all like or use regularly versus just having them for work? Oh like in usage? Okay

1408
02:11:59,740 --> 02:12:09,420
Um, I don't actually use reddit that often I've been I've been on it a little bit lately just because it's um, I tend to like to keep my finger on the pulse of you know

1409
02:12:10,380 --> 02:12:15,180
What the heck is going on? sometimes um

1410
02:12:15,580 --> 02:12:22,780
As for social platforms that I use man, I barely touch twitter these days. I use facebook almost exclusively to

1411
02:12:23,580 --> 02:12:26,380
uh, you know, just look at user comments on

1412
02:12:27,020 --> 02:12:34,140
smash champs and to just Browse marketplace because I just I think marketplace is hilarious. It's full so much crazy stuff

1413
02:12:35,100 --> 02:12:38,300
I I almost never open tiktok. Um

1414
02:12:40,300 --> 02:12:42,300
I use youtube obviously

1415
02:12:43,980 --> 02:12:48,140
I don't know man. I'm just I'm um, I don't I don't have a lot of time for it

1416
02:12:48,540 --> 02:12:51,660
Like I read the news. That's one of my that's one of my vices

1417
02:12:51,900 --> 02:12:56,140
Like I'll I'll just get like buried and like reading articles and stuff. That's my like doom scrolling

1418
02:12:56,620 --> 02:13:04,140
But I I don't prefer video I've talked about this so much over the years in spite of the fact that I'm literally a video creator for a living

1419
02:13:04,460 --> 02:13:07,260
It is not my preferred method of digesting information

1420
02:13:07,900 --> 02:13:10,380
Um, and that's still true today

1421
02:13:13,260 --> 02:13:15,820
Hello, lld. Oh, well no one else answered that question

1422
02:13:17,100 --> 02:13:20,060
Luke are you guys just trying to get me out of here because my mouth is so I'm good

1423
02:13:21,420 --> 02:13:23,980
What was the question what social platforms do you use?

1424
02:13:24,940 --> 02:13:27,420
I know you I would side of work. Yeah. Oh

1425
02:13:28,460 --> 02:13:31,660
Uh Most of them are begrudgingly

1426
02:13:32,380 --> 02:13:36,460
YouTube I like youtube I like um

1427
02:13:36,460 --> 02:13:40,620
The one thing I don't like about youtube right now is I don't know what's going on with my phone

1428
02:13:40,700 --> 02:13:43,660
But it'll get in this thing where every time I unlock my phone

1429
02:13:44,460 --> 02:13:49,900
If youtube is one of the things that is open not even if it's the most previous one that was open

1430
02:13:49,900 --> 02:13:56,060
If it's one of the things that'll open The second I unlock the phone it will bring it to front nice and got him

1431
02:13:56,700 --> 02:14:00,620
It will bring a short up nice and start playing it. Wow

1432
02:14:01,980 --> 02:14:08,460
That should actually be illegal. I wasn't watching shorts youtube was not the most recently open. Can we bend dark patterns like that?

1433
02:14:08,540 --> 02:14:12,860
What the heck is going on? That is wild. I don't know if this is a specific like I don't know

1434
02:14:13,100 --> 02:14:16,460
I'm only the one having this problem. I haven't seen it. I have no idea

1435
02:14:17,180 --> 02:14:19,980
But that's been happening to me a bunch and it's been really annoying

1436
02:14:20,220 --> 02:14:25,980
Um, I've also had situation. Yeah, I don't know. I've had stuff like that. That's very frustrating, but um, I do

1437
02:14:26,460 --> 02:14:33,980
Generally like youtube. Um, I begrudgingly use twitter saying they've seen it. Yeah, same issue. Yeah, I don't know what that is

1438
02:14:34,060 --> 02:14:36,300
But that's really annoying especially when like

1439
02:14:37,180 --> 02:14:43,260
If I'm out in public and it starts randomly playing some short of some dude like screaming something like I don't that's wild

1440
02:14:43,340 --> 02:14:45,740
What do you mean? Like I don't want this to happen right now

1441
02:14:46,380 --> 02:14:50,460
Anyways, um, I begrudgingly use twitter. I begrudgingly use facebook

1442
02:14:50,540 --> 02:14:54,860
There's like, you know, old high school contacts family members stuff like that facebook is the new phone book

1443
02:14:55,420 --> 02:14:59,340
Yep, yeah, especially like extended family like like there is no white pages anymore

1444
02:14:59,420 --> 02:15:04,620
So what the heck am I supposed to do if I need to like contact somebody if I'm messaging you one time every five years

1445
02:15:04,700 --> 02:15:09,260
It's probably on facebook. Um, I have like most of the annoying

1446
02:15:10,060 --> 02:15:13,500
text messaging apps because everybody has their favorite flavor

1447
02:15:13,980 --> 02:15:21,660
um Discord and youtube are probably the only ones that I'm like fairly happily using. Okay. Yeah

1448
02:15:24,780 --> 02:15:32,060
Hello lld within videos showcase at c. Yes, do you ever think that ldd will ever integrate robots into the staff?

1449
02:15:32,140 --> 02:15:36,700
And if so, how ever is a big word? I mean ever is a massive word

1450
02:15:36,940 --> 02:15:43,180
Yeah, I I have a hard time imagining a future where we would be sophisticated enough to have like, uh

1451
02:15:44,140 --> 02:15:53,580
Like a digital twin version of our warehouse that our you know, AI robots use to navigate the real one to like help jamie lift things

1452
02:15:53,660 --> 02:16:01,100
like it just It feels science fiction and like comical, but you know the flip side of that is 10 years ago a lot of

1453
02:16:01,980 --> 02:16:09,740
What we do today would have seemed completely out of reach like the way that led lighting has changed the cost calculation for media production

1454
02:16:09,980 --> 02:16:15,340
um Didn't see that one coming. Oh time. It says depends on what you call a robot. That's a pretty good point

1455
02:16:15,340 --> 02:16:18,860
What do a 3d printer? That's a very good point. I mean, yeah robots are everywhere

1456
02:16:19,420 --> 02:16:21,420
What about a robot vacuum? Sure

1457
02:16:23,420 --> 02:16:28,300
I oh dude, I would totally deploy robot vacuums to this place if I thought that they could actually navigate our mess

1458
02:16:28,460 --> 02:16:32,380
Oh, yeah, would like a standing robot just be like a cnc humanoid

1459
02:16:33,260 --> 02:16:47,100
Because technically all robots are cnc machines One of my pet peeves is is people saying just cnc instead of cnc router or cnc mill. It's actually

1460
02:16:48,060 --> 02:16:52,220
Uh, a hilarious pet peeve, but that bothers you. Yeah, just a little bit

1461
02:16:53,980 --> 02:16:55,980
That's your like

1462
02:16:57,500 --> 02:16:59,500
Dan Besser pedant

1463
02:17:01,500 --> 02:17:06,460
He knows it too It's yeah, okay fine. I accept

1464
02:17:09,340 --> 02:17:15,660
Automation on mark bench. That's a pretty good argument. Yeah, literally a robot ARM that's already deployed. Yeah, there's a bunch of stuff in Labs

1465
02:17:15,740 --> 02:17:17,740
Yeah, there's other examples other than that too

1466
02:17:19,580 --> 02:17:22,700
Hi dll have you seen the 3d benchy?

1467
02:17:23,580 --> 02:17:29,820
controversy interested on your thoughts about enforcing copyright after years of being so lax. I've only peripherally noticed it

1468
02:17:30,380 --> 02:17:40,140
It seems kind of annoying So basically someone owns the prop the copyright for the benchy model that everyone uses is their kind of benchmark for 3d printers and

1469
02:17:40,940 --> 02:17:48,700
Finally someone either like did they acquire it or they're like finally after so many years they're they're enforcing it and like not letting people

1470
02:17:49,660 --> 02:17:57,900
freely distribute it Yeah, yeah, and it's just like apparently the controversy is not true. So there you go. Oh

1471
02:17:58,380 --> 02:18:03,100
It's misunderstood. Give me a sec to find the links as Ry saw. So there you go. Let's just my understanding

1472
02:18:03,260 --> 02:18:07,260
It has something to do with modifying it and then redistributing it

1473
02:18:07,740 --> 02:18:13,580
Because then it's not a benchmark anymore, but now we have bodi. I don't know. Oh my god. Who cares because like yeah, exactly

1474
02:18:13,660 --> 02:18:18,860
It's it's a it's a bench That is now the new benchmark called bodi. Okay

1475
02:18:19,580 --> 02:18:22,940
Sure Now I need to see it

1476
02:18:23,340 --> 02:18:25,340
It is

1477
02:18:26,860 --> 02:18:31,500
Bodi It's such a wonderful community. I love I love all of them

1478
02:18:32,860 --> 02:18:38,540
Bodi 3d print. So what am I? What do I even look 3d bodi? Yeah, 3d bodi. There you go. Okay, 3d bodi

1479
02:18:38,620 --> 02:18:43,100
It's got same same sort of overhang bridging test like yeah, okay

1480
02:18:43,740 --> 02:18:45,740
Bodi the bench

1481
02:18:46,860 --> 02:18:54,300
All right, sure If there was anyone who was gonna if there was anyone who was going to maliciously comply this hard

1482
02:18:54,380 --> 02:19:00,060
It would be the 3d printing community. So good on you guys that really that makes sense artistic nerds. That makes a lot of

1483
02:19:00,140 --> 02:19:02,780
Sense the best. Yeah. All right. Let's see

1484
02:19:03,900 --> 02:19:05,900
You should really have you talked to

1485
02:19:07,500 --> 02:19:14,220
Lab's web Dan Not really maybe just occasionally you two should chat at some time. That would be nice. Yeah

1486
02:19:15,180 --> 02:19:18,380
Hi DLL as someone currently watching their country burn down

1487
02:19:18,460 --> 02:19:22,460
Are there any steps someone can take to prepare for moving without having a job lined up?

1488
02:19:23,260 --> 02:19:29,980
Honestly, not really I have people reach out all the time like wanting to move to canada to work at LMG and every time I'm just like

1489
02:19:30,060 --> 02:19:34,620
Yeah, I can't explain this because it seems like especially over the last few years

1490
02:19:34,620 --> 02:19:39,740
We were importing people at a historical rate. I shouldn't say it seems like because over the last few years

1491
02:19:40,140 --> 02:19:44,460
We've been importing people at an historical rate and yet

1492
02:19:45,100 --> 02:19:50,860
If I have like a qualified international candidate, I have to go through all this like paperwork and lma and

1493
02:19:52,060 --> 02:19:58,060
Yeah, I spend a ton of money and like freaking can't get people in here and I'm just I I've never been able to kind of

1494
02:19:58,380 --> 02:20:00,620
I've never been able to kind of bridge those two

1495
02:20:01,500 --> 02:20:06,940
Facts in my mind And so whenever people reach out to me from somewhere else and basically just like dude

1496
02:20:07,020 --> 02:20:09,980
I got no idea because as someone who's already here

1497
02:20:10,300 --> 02:20:14,380
I have flipping no clue how to facilitate getting people here

1498
02:20:14,380 --> 02:20:19,500
It's it's seemed incredibly complicated even in some cases for people with you know

1499
02:20:20,140 --> 02:20:26,140
That are that are young and able to work and have decent credentials and it's just like no, I'm like, okay

1500
02:20:26,220 --> 02:20:28,860
So then just randoms then okay, sure fine

1501
02:20:34,380 --> 02:20:42,700
Cool Hey lld question for Linus. What was it like for you during the procedure for getting your wisdom teeth removed coming from someone

1502
02:20:42,700 --> 02:20:49,020
Who's going to have the same procedure later this year or next couldn't tell you don't remember any of it

1503
02:20:49,340 --> 02:20:57,100
Um, I mean really the best advice I can give you is to you know Talk to your dental professional and ask them what it's going to be like because they're going to be the ones that know your case

1504
02:20:57,180 --> 02:21:02,620
the best and My sample size is of two. I've had this procedure twice both times

1505
02:21:02,700 --> 02:21:08,780
It was different so really it's two sample sizes of one if we want to be very Dan about it. Hey, I did the same thing

1506
02:21:09,980 --> 02:21:12,780
I had no no be pedantic about it

1507
02:21:13,580 --> 02:21:17,180
Don't don't that's okay. No, what you actually meant to say was no

1508
02:21:17,820 --> 02:21:21,820
You're getting anything. All right. Thank you. Um, anyway, talk to your dental professional

1509
02:21:21,820 --> 02:21:26,060
They're gonna they're gonna have the big the they're gonna have the best insight in the most experience to share with you

1510
02:21:26,460 --> 02:21:35,980
Hi DLL, what's the one most impressive thing someone has done in a non-technical job interview with LMG

1511
02:21:36,060 --> 02:21:42,780
I haven't interviewed anyone in like seven years probably so every single interview. I've done has been a technical interview. Cool

1512
02:21:44,940 --> 02:21:50,620
Sorry Hey, my big L's I know you guys are no longer in the underwear business

1513
02:21:50,940 --> 02:21:56,300
But me and my fiance love them and need more any brands you would give an approval for a similar fit and feel

1514
02:21:56,860 --> 02:22:01,740
Prove we're not in the underwear business. Uh, we've actually got new samples from a new supplier that I am

1515
02:22:04,620 --> 02:22:10,460
Wearing yesterday, um that are looking really promising. So there you go. Yeah, friday's long day

1516
02:22:12,060 --> 02:22:14,700
Let's see. Hey Linus, you sometimes use the phrase

1517
02:22:15,180 --> 02:22:19,100
Exactly one for emphasis. Is that a reference to something or did you make it up?

1518
02:22:19,660 --> 02:22:24,220
It's kind of inspired by John Cleese's character in faulty towers when he

1519
02:22:25,340 --> 02:22:29,100
Like puts on a german accent when he's talking to the germans that stay in the hotel

1520
02:22:29,740 --> 02:22:33,180
I it's I don't know. I just think it's funny, you know

1521
02:22:34,300 --> 02:22:38,780
precision and germanness Oh

1522
02:22:40,300 --> 02:22:46,860
My homelad but got hit by ransomware last week and I lost terabytes of raw video and photos

1523
02:22:46,860 --> 02:22:54,540
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that any advice on possibility on the possibility of data recovery cleanup and future security enhancement

1524
02:22:56,060 --> 02:23:01,740
I mean at the end of the day data safety comes down to three two one, right like three copies and at least two locations

1525
02:23:02,620 --> 02:23:07,580
Bloody hell. What's the one hit me? One off site two formats

1526
02:23:09,500 --> 02:23:13,740
One off site two formats Yeah, one off site three versions. Yeah. Yeah

1527
02:23:14,620 --> 02:23:18,860
um Yeah, as for recovery man

1528
02:23:19,660 --> 02:23:23,820
That's a challenge, right because there's lots of smaller recovery places that

1529
02:23:24,700 --> 02:23:30,380
might do a great job Or they might be a fly-by-night loser that's going to do more damage than good

1530
02:23:30,940 --> 02:23:34,140
There are like, you know, your reputable data recovery guys

1531
02:23:34,220 --> 02:23:37,740
But I I promise you even they could end up doing more damage than good

1532
02:23:37,820 --> 02:23:41,020
So that's number one and then number two is you will pay

1533
02:23:41,900 --> 02:23:48,300
Unless that footage is like, you know of the orchestration of the jfk assassination or something

1534
02:23:48,620 --> 02:23:51,980
Like you're going to pay more for it to recover it than it is worth

1535
02:23:52,860 --> 02:24:00,540
um other than just You know saying I I I get it and I've gone through data loss before and it really sucks

1536
02:24:00,540 --> 02:24:07,180
There's not really a lot that I can offer you That blows, um, you know, obviously I made that investment into hexos

1537
02:24:08,700 --> 02:24:16,060
To make it hopefully easier for kind of techy people but not necessarily, you know networking command line people to

1538
02:24:17,500 --> 02:24:21,660
To have like a buddy backup and cloud backups enabled really easily on diy hardware

1539
02:24:21,660 --> 02:24:26,780
But that particular feature is not rolled out yet. Hopefully I'll have exciting news to share in the future

1540
02:24:26,780 --> 02:24:32,940
But for now not much Yeah, I take my most important files to the cloud nightly

1541
02:24:34,700 --> 02:24:40,860
Uh, let's see. What else do we have here? Hey DLL, how is the glow in the dark holding up on the tycan?

1542
02:24:41,260 --> 02:24:45,980
Is it just as strong as when the wrap was first applied? How long does dbrand expect it to last?

1543
02:24:46,860 --> 02:24:50,460
Should last as long as pretty much any glow in the dark thing that you have

1544
02:24:50,540 --> 02:24:55,260
Which is to say that I believe the effect does fade a little bit over time, but no it still works pretty good

1545
02:24:56,060 --> 02:25:04,060
Do you still charge it like when you leave your house? No, that was that was really cool fun project and like it looks really cool when you first pull out of the garage

1546
02:25:04,140 --> 02:25:09,500
But realistically there's enough Um, if I was somewhere else it would be super cool

1547
02:25:09,580 --> 02:25:14,860
But there's enough light in my area that within probably like five minutes

1548
02:25:14,940 --> 02:25:22,220
You can't make it out too. Well anyway, so I was like, okay Well, this is kind of an obstacle in my garage right and besides I have some other cool plans for those black lights

1549
02:25:22,620 --> 02:25:26,780
Um, I want to take them to smash champs and set them up in the lighting grid

1550
02:25:27,260 --> 02:25:32,780
Or not grid but in the in the side lights for the courts and I want to do like disco badminton

1551
02:25:33,180 --> 02:25:40,700
You know like disco bowling. Yeah. So yeah, the the nylon shuttles do fluoresce at least the yonex ones do and oh sick

1552
02:25:40,860 --> 02:25:46,540
So if we could maybe put a fluorescing top transparent coat over the court lines

1553
02:25:47,100 --> 02:25:53,820
Uh, the tape on the on the nets also fluoresces already. So that could be freaking cool

1554
02:25:54,060 --> 02:26:00,940
That's it was not the kind of thing we'd do all the time But it's like like once a quarter or something doing like disco badminton night or something. I think people would come out for that

1555
02:26:01,420 --> 02:26:06,860
Yeah, I suspect it would be pretty popular You might really do it more often than and then I would do it over on the land party side

1556
02:26:07,180 --> 02:26:11,340
So that if we wanted to switch out the house lights and turn on all black lights for the land then we could

1557
02:26:12,780 --> 02:26:18,140
Which I think would be pretty cool. That's pretty cool. Yeah Get some chauvet hexpars in there. It'll be fun

1558
02:26:19,180 --> 02:26:23,500
Uh, I've got a couple more. Yeah, I've got I assume that's a really cool light

1559
02:26:24,060 --> 02:26:27,580
Yeah, they're like the moving head things and they swing about grand clubs and stuff

1560
02:26:28,140 --> 02:26:32,300
Hi lld first time buying from LTT since I started watching you in 2020

1561
02:26:32,620 --> 02:26:38,780
I'll be traveling for the first time to tokyo. What would be your musty shops or sights and favorite meal and drink?

1562
02:26:39,020 --> 02:26:45,020
Oh, uh, it's not in tokyo, but my highlight for sure was when we took the shinkansen to um,

1563
02:26:45,660 --> 02:26:50,140
the deer park in No, uh, oh

1564
02:26:50,460 --> 02:26:53,580
Okay When I traveled with my family

1565
02:26:54,140 --> 02:26:58,700
I'm not really like a travel guy. I'm just there to like help wrangle kids and

1566
02:26:59,340 --> 02:27:04,940
Make life less stressful for everyone else if we're saying nara. I do yeah, nara. I do whatever

1567
02:27:05,580 --> 02:27:11,340
um, so I just like I go where I'm told to go and do what I'm told to do and

1568
02:27:12,380 --> 02:27:16,860
You know Yvonne and the kids they like do lots of cool stuff and that's super cool

1569
02:27:17,660 --> 02:27:20,860
But uh, nara was nara was really great. So that was really cool

1570
02:27:21,500 --> 02:27:27,180
Um, I'm sure you'll get lots of great recommendations by the way in you know the Floatplane chat

1571
02:27:27,260 --> 02:27:32,780
But in terms of of my recommendations. I uh, yeah, sure deer park. It's pretty sick

1572
02:27:33,900 --> 02:27:37,260
It's not in tokyo. So sorry about that the uh, the mario kart

1573
02:27:38,380 --> 02:27:47,340
You know go karts on the street things overrated I'll say that. Yeah, I kind of always assumed that. Yeah, just um, whatever. I'm here. Yeah, sure. Yeah

1574
02:27:48,940 --> 02:27:52,220
Hey tech napoleon laugh and yeah, and I guess dad

1575
02:27:52,860 --> 02:27:56,380
Linus, what's the last video you've fully written which wasn't a challenge video?

1576
02:27:56,620 --> 02:27:59,900
Also, what are a few projects or videos you've canceled?

1577
02:28:00,620 --> 02:28:07,020
Last video fully written. Um Oh, I don't know canceled projects. Yeah cancel things all the time

1578
02:28:07,740 --> 02:28:12,860
Uh, I I honestly do not remember it's going to be a lot easier for me and try and figure out this

1579
02:28:13,740 --> 02:28:15,740
Last thing I've written one

1580
02:28:17,260 --> 02:28:20,300
Uh, oh no not title contains. Why don't you have luke do one in the meantime?

1581
02:28:20,620 --> 02:28:22,620
And then I can I can try and

1582
02:28:23,660 --> 02:28:26,780
Bring up a list of videos only one left only one left. Hey dlo

1583
02:28:26,860 --> 02:28:31,180
I broke a four thousand dollar printer at work due to poor documentation from the manufacturer

1584
02:28:31,340 --> 02:28:33,980
Are there any things you broke or damaged because of this?

1585
02:28:35,660 --> 02:28:42,060
No But what I can say is that uh, we at Floatplane

1586
02:28:42,540 --> 02:28:50,140
um As in I think actually most of the teams at this point have found and corrected software documentation for

1587
02:28:50,300 --> 02:28:57,340
Other companies before. Um, nice I can think of honestly quite a few right off the top of my head

1588
02:28:57,820 --> 02:29:02,780
Where we'll be like, hey, this thing doesn't work. We're following your documentation. Here's all the details

1589
02:29:03,100 --> 02:29:07,740
We think it's like maybe this other way and they'll get back to us and be like, uh, that documentation is wrong

1590
02:29:08,460 --> 02:29:14,540
Cool. Here's the stuff. Cool. It's like, oh cool. I'm so happy we spent all that time trying to figure that out

1591
02:29:16,140 --> 02:29:19,900
Turns out Even massive

1592
02:29:19,900 --> 02:29:25,660
Multi-billion dollar companies make mistakes. They do they do because it turns out they're staffed by people and people are

1593
02:29:26,060 --> 02:29:32,380
They do their best for the most part. I think for the most part. Um, there was one that I accidentally archived. It was something about, um

1594
02:29:33,420 --> 02:29:39,340
How to help people like set up parental controls and stuff and honestly the best advice I can give you is stay out of it

1595
02:29:40,140 --> 02:29:46,620
Let them figure out their stuff And if they're not willing to put in the work then you shouldn't be giving them tech support on how to manage parental controls

1596
02:29:46,620 --> 02:29:49,180
Because at the best of times they're an absolute

1597
02:29:49,900 --> 02:29:53,340
Cluster bomb. They are terrible. Um, I still remember

1598
02:29:53,820 --> 02:29:58,460
Spending like an hour trying to figure out how to join a minecraft dungeons game with my kids

1599
02:29:58,860 --> 02:30:05,740
In spite of the fact because they're miners and I'm not in spite of the fact that I am literally set up as the parent in our family unit

1600
02:30:06,940 --> 02:30:09,660
You said you'd think that would allow it so annoying

1601
02:30:10,540 --> 02:30:15,020
Um, okay. So yeah, let me let me get back to let me get back to your question

1602
02:30:15,100 --> 02:30:19,500
So here's our dashboard Celebrity tech scam. That's alex

1603
02:30:19,740 --> 02:30:23,500
Nintendo switch to that's david 20 000 server. That's Jake

1604
02:30:23,900 --> 02:30:27,260
Ray tracing his mandatory now. Oh, that was that was a team effort

1605
02:30:27,260 --> 02:30:34,140
But I think it was adam that got it across the line Every rtx 5090 at cES that was collaborative my new tv sucks again

1606
02:30:34,140 --> 02:30:40,060
This was written by me and alex's sections were written by him with a little bit of me kind of laying out which beats I wanted

1607
02:30:40,780 --> 02:30:45,820
Unreleased AMD thing. That was me first a game on the rtx 5090. That was me

1608
02:30:46,540 --> 02:30:50,060
I've never been this angry and confused before this was

1609
02:30:52,540 --> 02:30:55,020
Uh, I believe this my oh, this was ploof

1610
02:30:55,900 --> 02:30:58,300
Stemos this was, um, jordan

1611
02:30:59,100 --> 02:31:02,940
Let's still let's see. Let's find a not let's find a not cES

1612
02:31:03,660 --> 02:31:06,460
Content piece that I wrote start to finish

1613
02:31:07,420 --> 02:31:10,620
I'm sorry. I'm gonna use a tablet life through a gaming thing

1614
02:31:11,340 --> 02:31:14,540
We have a we have a really talented writing team and they they do a lot

1615
02:31:15,180 --> 02:31:17,980
AMD upgrades are very, uh ad lib

1616
02:31:18,380 --> 02:31:22,620
So you could kind of think of those as being largely kind of written by me

1617
02:31:22,700 --> 02:31:26,780
But also like not really not really written in that sense

1618
02:31:27,420 --> 02:31:32,940
This I wrote a lot for I wrote a ton of notes because I was the tester for the project

1619
02:31:33,820 --> 02:31:39,340
And jordan used some of my notes verbatim in the final script, but ultimately he was kind of tasked with

1620
02:31:40,140 --> 02:31:43,020
Uh operating in the role to kind of get it over the board

1621
02:31:46,700 --> 02:31:50,220
Yeah, let's see. I uh, I think probably the last one. Oh

1622
02:31:51,100 --> 02:31:53,100
dbrand, I don't know

1623
02:31:54,140 --> 02:31:58,780
Yeah, no, I mean, yeah very again very like kind of written by me in the sense that I was there

1624
02:31:59,660 --> 02:32:02,940
Uh Jake did a great job of the the xos reveal

1625
02:32:04,380 --> 02:32:08,700
I think probably the last one that I wrote start to finish would have been the um

1626
02:32:10,060 --> 02:32:12,060
Equinix tour

1627
02:32:13,980 --> 02:32:22,460
Yeah, let's go with let's go with equinix tour. Yeah, there it is. So this one I basically got briefed by them. Um, wrote it

1628
02:32:23,100 --> 02:32:28,060
Hosted it and then came home That's all I got

1629
02:32:28,460 --> 02:32:33,980
That's all I got No, that's all I got. That's all I got to you. Yeah

1630
02:32:35,260 --> 02:32:42,220
That's all we got. That's all we got Hopefully next week is a little less ridiculous. What are the odds?

1631
02:32:44,380 --> 02:32:47,260
Uh, I think most betting sites would not say favorable

1632
02:32:48,140 --> 02:32:52,300
40 to 1 interesting. What about the magic eight ball? What does the magic eight ball say?

1633
02:32:52,860 --> 02:32:55,360
Is there there's got to be a web magic eight ball?

1634
02:32:56,460 --> 02:33:00,380
