does 00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:40.280 it count as a meal no I don't think so isn't the classic thing you need a 00:01:40.360 --> 00:01:44.200 cigarette to black coffee and a cigarette that's if you're French I don't 00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.520 like either those oh that's a French thing it might be Belgian vids very 00:01:47.520 --> 00:01:51.760 European it's like all about my wife 00:01:57.760

tell you guys we've got a great 00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:14.960 show lined up for you today the most epic tech bro breakup of all time has been 00:08:14.960 --> 00:08:20.800 unfolding in real time this week it has been a sight to behold regardless of 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:25.240 whose side you're on so we're gonna get you guys some of the play-by-play as 00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:33.400 well as just

00:08:52.900 --> 00:09:02.840 Luke AMD is pulling an NVIDIA with the 90 60 XT 8 gig and YouTube was fighting 00:09:02.880 --> 00:09:09.480 Jeff Geerling and yeah they really were that was whack and we'll talk about it 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:13.480 there we go 00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:40.400 square space Thoram and AMD with our rap partner dbrand laptop partner Dell and 00:09:40.520 --> 00:09:45.560 chair partner secret lab I am 100% not on a secret lab chair this week I wish I 00:09:45.560 --> 00:09:54.600 was and my crappy chair is the best part of my setup my webcams on a garbage 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:59.400 bin just to get the height right and to make sure that when I'm typing it's not 00:09:59.400 --> 00:10:03.720 little wobbling all over the place so where it's gonna be a heck of a show 00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:09.960 folks why don't we jump right into what is of course enthralling the entire 00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:18.360 internet the big beautiful breakup this week the future of the EV solar and 00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:24.400 space industries is in question after the very public collapse of the bromance 00:10:24.400 --> 00:10:30.520 between what do you call himself techno king Elon Musk and US president Donald 00:10:30.520 --> 00:10:36.040 Trump on June 3rd Elon called the congressional spending bill known as 00:10:36.040 --> 00:10:43.680 the big beautiful bill and abomination if you didn't know by the way the big 00:10:43.680 --> 00:10:48.360 beautiful bills not really a nickname it's actually called the one big beautiful 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:55.000 bill act on June 5th Trump said a good way to save money could be canceling 00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:59.520 Elon's government contracts Elon fired back tweeting that he could just 00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:02.920 decommission the SpaceX Dragon Crew in fact he didn't say he could he said he 00:11:02.920 --> 00:11:08.240 would which would lead to the US having to ask Russia for rides to the ISS okay 00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:22.040 let's pause for a second here um what can you just is it possible that we are 00:11:22.040 --> 00:11:27.680 learning what the negative outcomes can be from having thin-skinned billionaires 00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:34.440 control massive parts of like national security critical infrastructure is are 00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:40.480 we learning that now yeah legitimately my first most immediate and strongest 00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:44.800 feeling that I had when seeing this happening was oh this might actually be 00:11:44.800 --> 00:11:49.080 a really good thing for NASA their budgets are probably still getting 00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:54.400 slashed regardless which kind of sucks but we'll see but hopefully this was kind 00:11:54.400 --> 00:12:00.160 of a learning moment of like oh wow we probably shouldn't have something so 00:12:00.160 --> 00:12:05.480 critical almost entirely lean on one very specific external company because 00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:13.240 Boeing and Blue Origin really ain't it right now yeah I mean in fairness the 00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:18.400 idea was to have multiple options that's where Boeing was supposed to come in 00:12:18.400 --> 00:12:23.040 yeah I don't know it would be great if there was multiple options but I also 00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:27.240 don't think that in my in my opinion I don't think we should be at a state where 00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:31.160 NASA is incapable of doing the thing we should just be at a state where it makes 00:12:31.160 --> 00:12:38.160 more economic sense for a you know what a NGO whatever a corporation to do the 00:12:38.160 --> 00:12:42.080 thing instead hey look I'm I'm pro-competition right 100 and sometimes 00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:45.520 competition can take place between private and public entities and there 00:12:45.520 --> 00:12:50.040 are wild kind of competition things that that SpaceX has done which is great so 00:12:50.040 --> 00:12:53.040 if they're winning like the majority of the contracts that's fine but we want 00:12:53.040 --> 00:12:56.840 super to be in the space we don't want there to be a situation where it is 00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:02.560 actually the US asking Russia for rides the ISS again because there's a spat 00:13:02.560 --> 00:13:08.680 between a corporate a corporate and the president that's crazy we don't want this 00:13:08.680 --> 00:13:15.880 to be a thing it doesn't matter if it's Elon it doesn't matter if it's Trump that's irrelevant to be completely honest I don't want to be a thing ever no the 00:13:15.880 --> 00:13:19.160 crazy part Luke is that we're not even talking about a spat between a corporate 00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:23.360 entity and the president really it's a we are talking about a spat between an 00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:31.360 individual who holds this unbelievable I would say unprecedented amount of 00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:41.960 control over the United States' ability to do space yeah this is a super like 00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:46.960 nation-level political issue right now because you're you're there's like sort 00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:53.960 of a Cold War space race type thing going on between the US and China right 00:13:53.960 --> 00:14:00.360 now there's this like get back on to the moon thing that's going on and it's 00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:06.560 it's it's interesting how that's gonna be playing out there's there's the draw 00:14:06.560 --> 00:14:11.920 back of there's the potential drawback of Artemis which you know I'm really 00:14:11.920 --> 00:14:16.240 hoping it's not gonna happen yeah like Drac Ryu in full plane chat said we we 00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:24.720 still have the Artemis rockets and it's like yeah but they're trying to pull that program back this is my whole point I I think we should recognize this 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:28.640 issue that is showing its face right now even though a lot of people kind of 00:14:28.640 --> 00:14:33.480 knew it existed already and go oh maybe we shouldn't be crushing the NASA budgets 00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:37.880 if anything maybe they should pump up a little bit I do support the idea of 00:14:37.880 --> 00:14:44.040 looking at efficiencies there and making sure they're actually being properly efficient because there is some question marks like why the heck can't we get 00:14:44.040 --> 00:14:51.880 back to the moon right now that's awkward but yeah I think it's it's dangerous 00:14:51.880 --> 00:14:58.280 to put all of your chips in one corporation and that's effectively how it 00:14:58.280 --> 00:15:04.960 is right now and that's not good yeah I'm hoping that will result in in very 00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:10.800 good things yeah let's keep going okay later on June the 5th some random 00:15:10.800 --> 00:15:16.320 account told Elon to cool it he listens and walks back the dragon decommissioning 00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:20.600 because obviously that was never happening yeah he was gonna do this yeah 00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:27.720 that was insane Tesla stock took a dive from the kerfuffle partially because the 00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:32.720 big beautiful bill will make a number of things worse for EV makers and EV owners 00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:37.440 including removing government incentives for EVs and solar and requiring new 00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:45.240 yearly payments from EV owners I know the yearly payments part what I am 00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:51.960 extremely confused by by a lot of this it's been it's been sort of mind-blowing 00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:59.840 to watch this bromance develop when you have people whose agendas are so 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:08.600 completely opposed to each other and to watch the way that they have publicly 00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:13.400 pretended to be aligned like that whole thing where they did they shot a Tesla 00:16:13.400 --> 00:16:20.000 commercial on the dude yeah in front of the White House I think it was I think 00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:24.960 it was CNN so I got a picture of Trump's Tesla it's just like still parked 00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:31.280 there I mean he wouldn't be driving it anyways like he apparently actually 00:16:31.280 --> 00:16:35.480 bought it and it's just still there I don't know that he actually paid for it 00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:41.840 I would have no way of knowing whether that actual transaction took place or 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:47.920 not but apparently the car is just still sitting there which is hilarious 00:16:47.920 --> 00:16:53.840 anyway in the past Elon has actually supported removing all government 00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:59.640 incentives for EV and solar but also for oil and gas but the big beautiful 00:16:59.640 --> 00:17:03.640 bill keeps oil and gas incentives in place which Elon sees as unfair but I 00:17:03.640 --> 00:17:08.120 mean I think the question here is two-fold and I think I've made my 00:17:08.120 --> 00:17:15.760 position very clear on you know whether whether I think whether I think Elon 00:17:15.760 --> 00:17:21.120 has shown who he is at this point or not he's shown who he is to me and when 00:17:21.120 --> 00:17:24.400 people show you who they are you should believe them I believe him he showed 00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:30.240 you is but this much is this much I think makes very clear how opportunistic 00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:38.320 this whole this whole relationship was how obviously driven by an agenda of 00:17:38.320 --> 00:17:43.360 deregulation for his own companies the whole thing was the second that that 00:17:43.360 --> 00:17:47.560 kind of fell apart obviously two egos the size of these guys we're gonna 00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:51.480 result in this kind of a blow-up it's actually it happened faster and more 00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:57.720 explosively than I could have possibly anticipated and I think the the icing on 00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:05.800 the cake for me is not actually in our notes but Elon posted the reason that 00:18:05.800 --> 00:18:09.320 the administration won't release the Epstein files is because Trump is in 00:18:09.320 --> 00:18:16.600 them have a nice day DJT something along those lines and it's like so so you're 00:18:16.600 --> 00:18:21.320 cool with them this whole time so you think you're the good guy because you 00:18:21.320 --> 00:18:28.600 literally spent hundreds of millions of dollars to get this guy elected and then 00:18:28.600 --> 00:18:35.800 after the fact you're like yeah and like I knew that he was in the Epstein 00:18:35.800 --> 00:18:44.440 blogs also I thought everyone knew that for like ages like we know him haven't 00:18:44.600 --> 00:18:49.480 known that forever yeah like what do you I guess maybe he's saying that he's in 00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:57.960 parts that we haven't seen I don't know I mean I mean they're like I have no idea 00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:03.960 yeah I'm not I'm gonna get the details wrong but when the whole thing was going 00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:09.560 down with Jeffrey Epstein and Max Max Maxine Maxwell whatever her name was 00:19:09.560 --> 00:19:15.320 to Zane Maxwell when that whole thing was going down like Trump didn't even denounce 00:19:15.320 --> 00:19:20.920 Epstein right out of the gate like there the whole thing's been so obvious and 00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:25.800 ridiculous anyway silver lining Tesla's offering zero percent financing on 00:19:25.800 --> 00:19:29.160 cyber trucks if you buy it with full self-driving which amounts to about I 00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:33.640 think a $2,000 discount because you have to spend money on full self-driving 00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:38.600 which Lord only knows if Tesla is ever going to deliver at this point it was 00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:40.680 really interesting watching silver lining 00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:46.520 no Riley's just memeing I think okay I think Riley did this topic 00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:53.480 yeah it's been it's been interesting watching watching Elon slowly admit the 00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:59.960 things that I've been saying for years at this point the current hardware is not 00:19:59.960 --> 00:20:06.360 gonna work they're gonna have to like upgrade like millions of cars if people 00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:10.040 ultimately demand to have the thing that they were promised that is if they can 00:20:10.040 --> 00:20:13.880 ever deliver it with all cameras which I personally do not think they will 00:20:16.760 --> 00:20:21.800 good luck everybody and this goes to show why having a bunch of having a bunch of 00:20:21.800 --> 00:20:24.760 like rich dudes running everything is probably not the way 00:20:26.840 --> 00:20:30.440 I feel I feel for my American friends though I gotta be honest with you 00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:35.720 Panda Shoot said Tesla is already using autopilot to deliver cars to buyers in Texas 00:20:37.320 --> 00:20:43.480 that's neat that's yeah cool but it's not everything it's super cool but what it isn't 00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:48.600 is level four or five autonomy it isn't that it's cool but it isn't level four or five 00:20:48.600 --> 00:20:54.200 autonomy and what we've known about Tesla's culture for many many years now is that they 00:20:54.200 --> 00:21:00.920 are a culture of opacity they are not a culture of transparency they redact the 00:21:02.120 --> 00:21:07.720 all the details of the incidents that autopilot and full self-driving vehicles are involved in 00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:17.080 they don't respond to inquiries from media they don't they don't respect others right to have 00:21:17.080 --> 00:21:21.800 knowledge and information about the beta testing that they're performing on public roads 00:21:22.120 --> 00:21:28.520 putting people's lives at risk these are these are these are things that we've known for a very 00:21:28.520 --> 00:21:37.560 very very long time and when somebody breaks my trust I don't trust them anymore like you can't 00:21:37.560 --> 00:21:43.000 just keep breaking my trust over and over again and saying yeah but I'm not gonna I'm not gonna 00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:46.440 show you I'm not gonna show you but it's like it's working really good but I'm not gonna show you 00:21:46.440 --> 00:21:49.640 how it's working really good but trust me it's really good it's gonna be ready it's gonna be 00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:59.560 ready next year this time like literally right that's what fool me once shame on you 00:21:59.560 --> 00:22:06.920 fool me twice shame on me means if somebody shows you who they are believe them 00:22:09.080 --> 00:22:14.680 all right so uh yeah anyway well sorry what I was gonna say is I feel for my american friends 00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:19.960 because I don't feel like they had a lot of great options um this last election and uh 00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:27.160 you know I I'm I'm really I'm rooting for you guys I saw I saw Walmart increase the price of 00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:33.480 bananas corresponding to the tariffs and like there's this there's this hilarious exchange where 00:22:34.120 --> 00:22:41.560 oh yeah was uh challenging a lick here whatever on like hey yeah tariffs are affecting pricing 00:22:41.560 --> 00:22:46.840 he's like yeah but you know like if things are made in america then it's fine and uh they're like 00:22:46.840 --> 00:22:54.520 yo you can't grow bananas in america I think the best part was he said um you should build it in 00:22:54.520 --> 00:23:01.640 america and they're like you can't build bananas in america yeah just the wording was great oh man 00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:10.120 I uh yeah nipolas cage says we don't choose our candidates yeah 100 and look I'm not going to get 00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:16.600 into you know the whole thing that happened with kamala right because that whole thing was just 00:23:16.600 --> 00:23:22.120 such an epic failure on the democratic party side just the way the whole the way it played out I don't 00:23:22.120 --> 00:23:26.280 think anyone got a chance to figure out if she was a decent candidate or not she campaigned for 00:23:26.280 --> 00:23:36.440 like six weeks so yeah man um we feel for you guys for what it's worth yeah just as you says tech 00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:42.360 please didn't come here for politics you're 100 right it's just that man are they ever affecting 00:23:42.360 --> 00:23:48.120 tech a lot right now yeah like I had a really interesting conversation with someone today 00:23:48.120 --> 00:23:52.520 can't say who it is because I'm I'm on a bit of a trip right now that's a bit of a secret 00:23:52.520 --> 00:23:57.480 but I had a really interesting conversation with someone today and they were talking about a product 00:23:57.480 --> 00:24:02.920 that was unrelated to what I'm doing so you know just you know and totally unrelated to what I'm 00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:07.640 doing totally unrelated everything but I was just chatting with somebody about a product 00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:12.200 that they were working on you know development was done they were ready to deliver it to market 00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:16.680 it was going to come in at a really aggressive price point and then they looked at it they did all the 00:24:16.680 --> 00:24:23.480 math for what it was going to look like with import tariffs and basically it completely killed it 00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:28.600 for the us so we can say all day like oh yeah we don't want to talk about politics we don't want to 00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:35.000 care about politics right now but they are having a huge impact on the affordability of technology 00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:45.800 which I think not I think which I believe is the biggest problem that we have in tech right now 00:24:45.800 --> 00:24:49.800 we have cool tech it's just it's getting out of reach 00:24:53.080 --> 00:24:57.080 yeah and none of this stuff is helping I think this is a good transition to 00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:06.360 said switch to because I I bought one me I got it I'm it's very weird that I got it 00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:11.960 because yeah I was going to say I thought you weren't buying one no I wasn't buying one until 00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:18.680 I got it from willow but it's weird that I got it from willow already because I didn't contact 00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:26.680 them very early about a pre-order and I technically only actually reserved myocard world I didn't 00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:30.200 actually reserve the switch because when I called them they're like we don't know when we're getting 00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:37.720 the consoles so they called me about my okay we have myocard world and I was like cool I'm 00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:41.240 actually going to wait until you guys also have a console and they were like cool yeah we'll let 00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:46.040 you know and then like a couple hours later they were like somebody just canceled we have a console 00:25:46.040 --> 00:25:54.040 for you no way there was no line yeah and I understand this could be seen as a success 00:25:54.040 --> 00:25:59.320 because uh you know they actually made enough which is great but I talked to Nintendo said 00:25:59.320 --> 00:26:04.440 they would they said that's what they were going to do they were like we are we are we are pumping 00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:09.720 these we are making some consoles here ladies and gentlemen which is awesome except that's our 00:26:09.720 --> 00:26:15.800 anti scalping strategy except yeah I talked to the the owner of willow while I was there 00:26:15.800 --> 00:26:20.520 picking it up yeah and I asked them I was like what his demand been like and she was like 00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:28.200 yeah a lot lower than we expected like a lot lower and she's talking about it's it's for 00:26:28.200 --> 00:26:32.360 it's for everything like not a ton of the games are flying off the shelf either the accessory 00:26:32.360 --> 00:26:37.160 sales are a little bit lower than expected so like someone might come in and buy the like 00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:42.680 cheaper because you want a game myocard switch bundle thing but then they're not buying a pro 00:26:42.680 --> 00:26:48.520 controller with it or the the wheel add-on thingy for the new pro controllers or whatever else 00:26:48.520 --> 00:26:55.880 um and it's just it's really expensive the economy is in complete shambles right now just 00:26:55.880 --> 00:27:01.800 worldwide so like people are not only are they they don't necessarily have a lot of money but 00:27:01.800 --> 00:27:06.120 there's also an incredible amount of economic uncertainty so you might not yeah I was going 00:27:06.120 --> 00:27:11.800 to say the shambles is not even the entire story of the problem right now yeah it's the uncertainty 00:27:11.800 --> 00:27:16.520 like you were you were chatting with um you were chatting with a guy who runs some factories 00:27:16.520 --> 00:27:23.160 let's not get any more specific than that sure who basically was like yeah I have multi million 00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:30.680 like many millions dollars investments that I was making you know in the lead up to COVID around 00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:39.160 COVID after COVID um and then you know during the first um you know big red tie administration 00:27:39.160 --> 00:27:48.040 and afterward and and you know I've and right now I'm just holding pattern no investment no plan 00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:55.400 no idea because when things change on a weekly basis you can't make a plan you don't you don't 00:27:55.400 --> 00:28:04.360 build a factory in a span of of weeks or months it takes years and so when you're planning that far 00:28:04.360 --> 00:28:10.600 out and things are changing so fast it's it's devastating to your ability to execute to get 00:28:10.600 --> 00:28:17.160 anything done um and to your point about the sort of the economy being really terrifying right now 00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:21.960 dude I sent this to the executive chat so I know you've already seen it but Coachella apparently 00:28:22.600 --> 00:28:27.240 failed to sell out for the second year in a row which okay you know whatever right like sometimes 00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:30.920 a concert doesn't sell out I get it I mean I've never been to Coachella I don't really it's not 00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:34.600 really my jam I don't really care so I'm not saying like everyone should go to Coachella or 00:28:34.600 --> 00:28:39.960 anything like that it's not my pitch what I'm saying is that that is an unusual occurrence 00:28:39.960 --> 00:28:47.320 and the kicker this is the part that really blew my mind of the people that went apparently 00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:55.560 half of them about half of them financed their tickets which there's a lot to unpack there right 00:28:55.560 --> 00:29:02.920 so one people like need to finance concert tickets or something and two people are making 00:29:03.560 --> 00:29:10.360 the financial decision to finance concert tickets yeah because people need Coachella tickets are like 00:29:10.360 --> 00:29:15.080 I've never got either but I've heard they're incredibly expensive and even if it's not Coachella 00:29:15.080 --> 00:29:21.160 like concerts around here can be really expensive like I can understand someone needing to finance 00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:26.920 it if they must buy it but I think traditionally usually people just don't make they don't do that 00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:32.600 they don't make that decision so I feel like the big shift is that people are doing it now 00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:43.800 I think that a lot of people have given up on just being completely underwater debt wise because 00:29:43.800 --> 00:29:49.080 there doesn't feel like there's another route out as far as my understanding goes people have 00:29:50.040 --> 00:29:56.440 people are looking at future prospects and this is why stuff like okay also regulation on stuff 00:29:56.440 --> 00:30:01.400 like advertising and whatnot has dramatically changed but you see a massive increase in bedding 00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:09.160 not just in standard bedding but you've got like crypto it coin bedding and you've got I did press 00:30:09.160 --> 00:30:14.680 the thing I know you can't hear you've got you got that you've got sports betting you've got all 00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:20.680 the stuff that's taking off right now even though like logically gaming gaming going pure gambling 00:30:20.680 --> 00:30:27.240 yeah true logically you should be able to look at gambling and be like yeah this is obviously for 00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:33.960 so many reasons just kind of dumb but then people are doing it because while it might not be the 00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:38.920 most intelligent there is technically a chance and if you can make your money go boom it's the 00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:44.520 only shot you got so people are taking that and thinking that it's like a logical decision I will 00:30:44.520 --> 00:30:51.560 I will bet my entire future on this thing because if I don't I fail anyways what future is there 00:30:51.560 --> 00:30:57.560 anyway yeah and like oh my god we don't we don't want that society we do we do not want to be in 00:30:57.560 --> 00:31:05.720 that situation that is so bad I anyways you know what I just want to say we're going to promote 00:31:05.720 --> 00:31:10.360 the store today you know like we're going to promote our new items or our promos or you know 00:31:10.360 --> 00:31:19.160 whatever but we have made the very conscious decision to not have buy now pay later functionality 00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:25.640 on our shop it would increase sales and while we while we absolutely do obviously support you 00:31:25.640 --> 00:31:32.760 know credit cards through our through our store I would implore you that if you're in a position 00:31:32.760 --> 00:31:37.640 where you're not buying with a credit card just because you like getting points and you're going 00:31:37.720 --> 00:31:42.120 to pay it off right away like that's fine but if you're buying with a credit card because you can't 00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:48.520 like afford that LTT Store purchase then I would really prefer that you simply not 00:31:49.080 --> 00:31:56.840 make the purchase right now you know get above water get things together keep your head up and 00:31:58.520 --> 00:32:03.720 you know find find find little things that you can enjoy you know find find a free to play game to 00:32:03.800 --> 00:32:10.360 play find find something else to you know get that hit right 00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:17.640 man it's like it's stressful right because obviously like I'm saying this coming from 00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:23.320 a position of things have been a little soft on the store like we're we are seeing it and it's not 00:32:23.320 --> 00:32:28.840 just the you know the tariff impact right from the pricing being different because a lot of our 00:32:28.840 --> 00:32:35.480 prices we've actually managed to bring pretty close to what they were a pre-adjustment and 00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:43.000 pre the split between the global and the US store so we're like we're seeing firsthand it's it's 00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:50.600 really interesting running a media company that also has these other these other branches you know 00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:56.600 yeah people are bringing up that I didn't even know you could do this but apparently you can buy 00:32:56.600 --> 00:33:03.560 now pay later through PayPal seriously I didn't even know that was a thing I actually didn't know 00:33:03.560 --> 00:33:10.520 that was a thing either I've never I've never really used PayPal heavily here in here in North 00:33:10.520 --> 00:33:16.120 America and I know this is like a really foreign concept to some of our overseas community but 00:33:16.120 --> 00:33:22.440 here in North America the play is generally to use credit cards that have very generous rewards 00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:29.560 programs and then pay them off right away that's like that's like the hack and so other than 00:33:29.560 --> 00:33:35.720 forgetting a couple of times in my life since I was 16 and I got my first credit card I have always 00:33:36.360 --> 00:33:42.600 only spent what I have in my bank balance and then I have paid it off right away and with that 00:33:42.600 --> 00:33:47.480 I've been able to get cash back travel rewards extended warranties on electronics that I've 00:33:47.480 --> 00:33:54.360 purchased like there's all kinds of really cool benefits that you can get but it takes strict 00:33:54.360 --> 00:33:59.640 discipline and I totally understand why a lot of people make the choice to not use a credit card 00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:03.320 and so to use you know something like PayPal instead but I had no idea that PayPal actually 00:34:03.320 --> 00:34:09.160 supported by now pay later that yeah PayPal pushes pay in four to six months no interest on purchases 00:34:09.160 --> 00:34:12.920 over a hundred dollars yeah I'm looking at it right now paying yeah I'm just checking out the chat 00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:21.400 and apparently like someone said I think Apple Pay also does it or something I lost a message but 00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:26.920 I wouldn't be surprised if Apple and Google Pay do it this is rough too because if we kill PayPal 00:34:26.920 --> 00:34:32.360 people will be pissed oh no there's no way not even because of the pay in four a monthly thing it's 00:34:32.360 --> 00:34:37.160 because like you said in some countries it's like and not only in some countries for some people 00:34:37.160 --> 00:34:42.280 it's just the only way they pay for stuff yeah and I don't mean the financing part of it I mean the 00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:52.120 rest of it so you can't even fully get away from it yikes I mean we could take a principled stance 00:34:52.120 --> 00:34:58.280 and we could you know remove it from our store or whatever but the reality of it is that we'd be 00:34:58.280 --> 00:35:03.960 hurting ourselves a lot more than we'd be hurting PayPal and I just and we'd be hurting specifically 00:35:03.960 --> 00:35:12.440 customers that were using PayPal without that yes so I just I don't think that is uh I don't think 00:35:12.440 --> 00:35:19.160 that's a realistic I don't think that's a realistic outcome here um someone said Walmart's physical 00:35:19.160 --> 00:35:25.320 checkout has clarinum micro loans built in I know some delivery food apps have it apparently 00:35:26.120 --> 00:35:33.560 yeah fine yeah I saw I saw some of the memes about how like when you can when you can pay for a 00:35:33.560 --> 00:35:39.720 taco with financing uh that's how we know we've reached the end times it's over man like that's uh 00:35:41.880 --> 00:35:42.520 also like 00:35:47.240 --> 00:35:53.400 I mean hilariously don't do that just to give you some idea of how destructive it could be to 00:35:53.400 --> 00:36:01.080 the customer experience to nuke PayPal um you know there were some high-profile YouTubers who 00:36:01.080 --> 00:36:07.480 publicly you know threatened legal action against PayPal that in spite of that very much 00:36:08.120 --> 00:36:13.960 still accepted PayPal for their like merch store so like it's just it's not really it's not really 00:36:14.920 --> 00:36:20.760 viable because the customer demands it and not just demands it but in many cases relies on it 00:36:21.560 --> 00:36:27.960 yeah so oh that is such a great reference drac rayou I wish I could dude how cool would it be if 00:36:27.960 --> 00:36:32.600 we had like the ability to give people points in Floatplane chat they could like use it for 00:36:32.600 --> 00:36:36.760 like a discount on their next thing or something like on their next store purchase or something 00:36:37.320 --> 00:36:41.000 I don't know that's a cool feature idea but um we don't do line of sled development anymore 00:36:41.000 --> 00:36:47.640 anyway drac rayou says I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a cheeseburger today that is that 00:36:47.640 --> 00:36:55.000 what a reference what a reference man I love it that's pretty I would I would love to give you 00:36:55.000 --> 00:36:59.640 a point or something I don't even think we have gifted subs yet maybe someday no maybe someday 00:36:59.640 --> 00:37:05.240 anyway let's talk about the switch too so yes um luke you you were gonna say something in the 00:37:05.240 --> 00:37:09.640 pre-show and I was like ah content but I don't remember what you said oh I was saying when 00:37:09.640 --> 00:37:13.080 when the announcement first happened we were talking about on when I talked about how I thought 00:37:13.080 --> 00:37:19.160 it was like kind of boring yeah and I still feel that way I haven't even opened the box yet 00:37:19.960 --> 00:37:25.640 dude clear I don't even I don't even agree at all I think it's boring I look at the history of 00:37:25.640 --> 00:37:31.400 nintendo consoles man it's boring well hold on hold on hold on everybody back up everybody back up 00:37:31.400 --> 00:37:38.600 for a second what it is though is what it tries to be it's it's what it is really good at being 00:37:38.600 --> 00:37:46.200 boring hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on okay by that logic by that logic let's say 00:37:46.760 --> 00:37:56.440 let's say that NVIDIA released a GPU tomorrow that instead of costing 300 cost 450 dollars 00:37:56.440 --> 00:38:03.720 and had 4x 5x the performance would that be boring but that that's not what we're talking about 00:38:03.720 --> 00:38:09.240 because it's been a decade but it doesn't matter the point is that what we had well hold on what we 00:38:09.240 --> 00:38:16.520 had was this what we have now is this times four yeah which is what other consoles do 00:38:16.520 --> 00:38:21.480 which is boring it's not what nintendo has historically largely done with almost every 00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:27.640 generation for a nintendo console this is boring it's cool I bought one I'm excited about it I'm 00:38:27.640 --> 00:38:33.080 happy to go home and take it out of the box I'm happy about the product I still think it's boring 00:38:33.080 --> 00:38:37.320 but you're coming at this from the perspective of someone who hasn't even turned it on yet I'm 00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:42.920 coming at this from the perspective of someone who has historically looked at nintendo consoles as 00:38:42.920 --> 00:38:48.040 almost every single launch is a really exciting experience to see what interesting curious driven 00:38:48.040 --> 00:38:53.080 engineers have brought to the table in terms of changing how gaming is done and what I'm seeing 00:38:53.080 --> 00:38:58.680 is is a console that's faster a dock that is better and cartridges that don't even have the damn games 00:38:58.680 --> 00:39:06.680 on them and that's all fair but let me tell you I spent the 15 canadian dollars on the enhanced 00:39:06.680 --> 00:39:14.840 version of breath in the wild and I'm stoked and and in terms of because look look I mean I don't 00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:21.640 think I expect gaming hardware to excite me anymore what I expect to excite me is gaming 00:39:21.640 --> 00:39:26.520 and maybe maybe what I'm doing is I'm channeling a little bit of you know what David and Plouffe 00:39:26.600 --> 00:39:31.880 talking about from the art challenge where they were like okay you know does it like do I 00:39:33.080 --> 00:39:37.080 with them they were talking about like pixel peeping you know like do I actually need 00:39:37.640 --> 00:39:43.560 better performance and in this case the better performance is not just about you know pixel 00:39:43.560 --> 00:39:48.840 peeping a little bit and having like slightly smoother frame rate or whatever it's about 00:39:48.840 --> 00:39:53.560 changing the way that I can experience the game and for something like breath of the wild 00:39:53.640 --> 00:39:59.720 we're aiming when you're dropping down into frame rates in the low 20s sometimes where you're 00:39:59.720 --> 00:40:06.040 getting these like these these stutters um where your display is I mean on the OLED it's beautiful I 00:40:06.040 --> 00:40:11.560 would personally take the OLED display over the the HDR non OLED display on the switch too but 00:40:11.560 --> 00:40:16.840 especially I mean I played through breath of the wild on the original switch and if you had told me 00:40:16.840 --> 00:40:23.720 at that time that I could have a new switch that's just basically everything that was good 00:40:23.720 --> 00:40:29.800 about the switch and innovative about the switch but fixed it just like fixed all my problems that 00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:35.080 would change the gameplay experience enough for me to be really excited I I feel like I enjoy playing 00:40:35.080 --> 00:40:41.800 on it called this a pro or something or I feel like who would have old nintendo like if you look 00:40:41.880 --> 00:40:51.320 at some of the ds versions they had where it was like 3ds uh plus new colorful edition whatever 00:40:51.320 --> 00:40:57.720 I feel like they would have iterated because like it's I just I don't see a ton of like even with 00:40:57.720 --> 00:41:04.520 the game cube it's like okay it was small and they put a handle on it like they tried something 00:41:04.520 --> 00:41:10.120 they tried something and with this one it's just like I don't know it's um they did the thing with 00:41:10.120 --> 00:41:15.560 the dock that they like obviously should have done the first time um make it higher performance you 00:41:15.560 --> 00:41:23.160 mean yeah put a fan on it like just come on it really really wouldn't have taken a lot okay but 00:41:23.160 --> 00:41:30.040 tell me this okay a couple of the recent times relatively recent okay I'm old a couple times 00:41:30.040 --> 00:41:37.240 that nintendo has taken big risks and done something really different okay so your game cube example 00:41:37.240 --> 00:41:45.880 the Wii U they were they got pounded into the dirt commercially for doing that do I would I blame 00:41:45.880 --> 00:41:50.360 them at all I don't think I mean that's not your argument your argument is not that it's not smart 00:41:50.360 --> 00:41:55.000 your argument is that it's not exciting yeah I think it's decent smart I find I find this kick 00:41:55.000 --> 00:42:01.400 stand pretty exciting this is going to change the usability of this device for me I you know what 00:42:01.400 --> 00:42:06.440 I'm excited by the fact that they included micro sd express I saw I saw someone commenting on my 00:42:06.440 --> 00:42:13.480 unboxing video like why would Linus think it's positive for um nintendo to include this standard 00:42:13.480 --> 00:42:18.360 that like no one really supports it because they're forward thinking yeah that doesn't you don't need 00:42:18.360 --> 00:42:23.320 the micro sd card today you need it when it's time to expand the storage and micro sd express is 00:42:23.320 --> 00:42:30.920 going to be sick and by taking it mainstream dude dude looking at what happened to the pricing of 00:42:30.920 --> 00:42:37.400 high capacity micro sd cards once the once the switch supported them it was awesome because it 00:42:37.400 --> 00:42:44.920 went mainstream we hit volume production it was great so nintendo helping to drive like industry 00:42:44.920 --> 00:42:50.360 standard memory card form factors like micro sd express I love it yeah I'm excited for it I'm 00:42:50.360 --> 00:42:57.480 not going to apologize for that this is great yeah I wonder like at the same time I think like 00:42:57.480 --> 00:43:03.720 and I don't even know if this is true and I don't want to you know I can need this to pump the boys 00:43:03.720 --> 00:43:09.320 but like does the does the kill switch um just have that kickstand 00:43:11.560 --> 00:43:16.680 yeah and I didn't the original kill switch passes through oh it just passes through yeah it just 00:43:16.680 --> 00:43:20.840 passes this kickstand through because this kickstand is really nice what kickstand did the original 00:43:20.840 --> 00:43:25.720 kill switch have the original kill switch or the original switch kill switch I know what the 00:43:26.040 --> 00:43:30.440 I can't remember I think it did have a oh it had that weird magnetic it had its own 00:43:30.440 --> 00:43:35.560 kickstand and then it became a clip or something remember that there was like an engineering 00:43:35.560 --> 00:43:40.840 issue with it and they they had to change how it worked on the back someone in chat will someone 00:43:40.840 --> 00:43:45.080 in chat will probably probably let us know I see a thing yeah it has its own kickstand so like that 00:43:45.080 --> 00:43:50.520 was I do agree with you that it's it's better I really like the new kickstand but yeah it's not 00:43:50.600 --> 00:43:57.240 that you couldn't solve that previously to be clear and I do think I understand Wii U was rough 00:43:57.240 --> 00:44:02.760 I think the actual Wii U was great genuinely I think that was purely a marketing failure 00:44:02.760 --> 00:44:09.480 in in my opinion oh yeah um so it's that's that's a tough one um and to be clear there are things 00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:16.920 that I'm really not happy about you know I am I am not stoked that you know voice chat is going to 00:44:17.000 --> 00:44:22.840 like I'm not stoked at the way that Nintendo is paywalling more and more and more of the 00:44:22.840 --> 00:44:29.160 functionality of their console behind Nintendo online um I've talked in the past about how 00:44:29.160 --> 00:44:35.640 on principle I refuse to subscribe to Nintendo online because they don't allow you to back up 00:44:35.640 --> 00:44:43.720 your save games to the micro sd card that is obvious functionality that is just obviously 00:44:43.800 --> 00:44:51.080 Nintendo holding hostage your ability to keep your games safe yeah which on which on a portable 00:44:51.080 --> 00:45:00.440 device is particularly offensive um I like I'm and so I'm frustrated because even though obviously 00:45:00.440 --> 00:45:06.680 like I want to acknowledge my privilege here for a second I can afford Nintendo online yeah for sure 00:45:07.640 --> 00:45:15.800 no problem maybe a couple of them but I shouldn't have to to have basic functionality like that so 00:45:15.800 --> 00:45:21.800 I won't and the more and more that they lock behind it the more degraded and like a second 00:45:21.800 --> 00:45:27.960 class citizen I'm going to feel like with this thing I paid 450 us dollars for so yeah it's 00:45:27.960 --> 00:45:33.960 expensive so I'm not happy about that apparently the joy con tear down was not good and they are 00:45:34.600 --> 00:45:38.600 it looks like we don't know for sure because we have no way of knowing for sure until it 00:45:38.600 --> 00:45:44.360 actually happens but it looks like stick drift is just gonna continue to be a problem and I 00:45:44.360 --> 00:45:48.840 think I have either four or six joy cons in my house I forget I think we had six at one point 00:45:48.840 --> 00:45:54.360 I think we're down to four now of of the joy I think it's four of the four joy cons that I 00:45:54.360 --> 00:46:00.120 took on my last trip though so those four three of them have severe stick drift and one of them 00:46:00.120 --> 00:46:08.520 has moderate stick drift and our consoles are not even super heavily used like it's like it's 00:46:08.520 --> 00:46:13.480 bad it's not a matter of if it'll fail it's a matter of when it'll fail which is really frustrating 00:46:14.280 --> 00:46:19.800 this is like breaking so it's fine that it wasn't in the topic to be clear just in case anyone's 00:46:19.800 --> 00:46:24.920 reviewing this but in full-point chat people are talking and they linked me to a toms hardware 00:46:24.920 --> 00:46:31.320 article that for you mr. Linus I linked in the bottom of the the Nintendo switch to topic thanks 00:46:31.320 --> 00:46:39.080 bud but I'm gonna share my screen now hackers discover Nintendo switch to x plate one day 00:46:39.080 --> 00:46:49.240 after launch minor hack allows running custom code on top of os no way that's crazy man 00:46:49.960 --> 00:46:54.600 that is they got it to run a uh like frame buffer check already 00:46:57.480 --> 00:47:01.320 I saw I saw that somewhere else that's probably the reddit thread that people are linking I'm going 00:47:01.320 --> 00:47:07.480 to not share my screen before I click on the reddit the the reddit link that people are posting 00:47:10.440 --> 00:47:15.080 oh no right that was something there's a lot more for us to talk through here either way 00:47:15.800 --> 00:47:22.920 at least partially jailbroken already which is wild but yeah keep going yeah in addition to the 00:47:22.920 --> 00:47:29.640 joy cons being potentially susceptible to failure I fixed it gave it a three out of ten 00:47:29.640 --> 00:47:35.320 repairability score the og was four out of ten in part this is due to a ton of stickers that have 00:47:35.320 --> 00:47:40.520 to be destroyed to access the screws the battery being glued in and the usb ports and game cartridge 00:47:40.600 --> 00:47:47.080 slot being soldered to the main board joy cons are apparently even harder to fix as well 00:47:48.680 --> 00:47:54.840 how do they get it so early day yeah so that was one of our discussion questions is what is your 00:47:54.840 --> 00:48:00.840 take on nintendo opting to not send out review units does that communicate that they felt they 00:48:00.840 --> 00:48:05.640 had something to hide or does it communicate a deep level of confidence in this product 00:48:05.800 --> 00:48:11.560 I could see it both ways man I could absolutely see it both ways I don't think nintendo 00:48:13.240 --> 00:48:19.720 much likes the media I could put it that way I mean I could see why they don't like me much 00:48:20.440 --> 00:48:25.000 yeah yeah that makes sense it's not like they didn't give it to any media they were just 00:48:25.000 --> 00:48:32.200 obviously extremely selective about who they gave it to yeah curiously like I saw I saw some choices 00:48:32.200 --> 00:48:39.960 that were like non gamers and I'm like I yeah they nintendo wants to be lifestyle even though it's 00:48:39.960 --> 00:48:46.440 gaming um yeah that's always been a weird one to me yeah it's like here's an alarm clock yeah by the 00:48:46.440 --> 00:48:53.000 way this alarm clock will mean nothing to you and you won't care about it at all unless you are 100 00:48:53.000 --> 00:49:00.600 percent a gamer yeah uh jeff jk says quit whinging and y'all will get one oh dude it has nothing to 00:49:00.600 --> 00:49:06.680 do with whining and everything to do with a not many people getting one and nintendo's choices being 00:49:07.640 --> 00:49:13.720 baffling and b to do with the fact that we openly talk about emulation like let's be real here 00:49:13.720 --> 00:49:19.480 yeah and we criticize nintendo's one of those companies is very much like apple um that the 00:49:19.480 --> 00:49:27.480 way that they work is they engage with media that align with their vision and um nintendo 00:49:27.480 --> 00:49:33.800 surprisingly does engage with us to a limited degree from time to time they'll you know answer an 00:49:33.800 --> 00:49:38.920 email I believe we got a review unit of the switch light actually in fact we might have 00:49:38.920 --> 00:49:43.800 even gotten a review unit of the switch back in the day so they they do engage with us from time to 00:49:43.800 --> 00:49:51.080 time um they're not just radio silent like apple but um I I suspect that there are folks at nintendo 00:49:51.080 --> 00:49:56.680 who would just kind of rather not talk to us or acknowledge us and I get that I get that 00:49:57.560 --> 00:50:01.320 I know I know I've been harping on how it's boring I'm just I'm just sitting here trying to think of 00:50:01.320 --> 00:50:07.000 like like I know they did they did kind of the joy cons with the we and then they expanded upon it 00:50:07.000 --> 00:50:11.080 with the we you and they had the joy con plus or expansion pack or whatever it was called and then 00:50:11.080 --> 00:50:17.000 now we have the little switch joy cons and I have the newer switch to joy cons or whatever 00:50:17.000 --> 00:50:23.880 it would have been kind of cool to see them go back pretty far um and go to like a glove or 00:50:23.880 --> 00:50:29.160 something like a haptic glove would have been sick or I mean or something I know they're like 00:50:29.160 --> 00:50:33.400 they're again they want to be lifestyle they want to get people outside if they embrace to this 00:50:33.400 --> 00:50:40.680 you know ne attic just sold itself to some terrifying company um but I have loved this 00:50:40.680 --> 00:50:46.600 concept where like I'll play pokemon go for hours and no one will have any idea because I'll be 00:50:46.600 --> 00:50:53.000 walking around a park or something and I've got my little dongle thing in my pocket and it's just 00:50:53.000 --> 00:50:58.200 buzzing away catching pokemon and I'm walking hands-free playing a game without looking at a screen 00:50:58.840 --> 00:51:03.320 it would be cool if they tried to get people outside or something but while still playing 00:51:03.320 --> 00:51:07.400 their games like I think there's opportunities that they could have taken and they just went 00:51:07.400 --> 00:51:12.680 yeah it's faster we don't know that they won't do stuff though I mean I don't think anyone saw the 00:51:12.680 --> 00:51:18.120 cardboard kits coming with the original switch that's very true the labo yeah yeah that's 00:51:18.600 --> 00:51:25.560 come on don't count them out that's very quirky ideas like it's still nintendo and it's it's the 00:51:25.560 --> 00:51:30.920 switch but it's like way better on it and like dude I haven't played much Mario Kart World yet 00:51:31.640 --> 00:51:37.880 because um I they made me go shoot other stuff okay I shouldn't say they made me go shoot other 00:51:37.880 --> 00:51:43.320 stuff when I was doing my ShortCircuit unboxing was that yesterday good lord yeah yesterday 00:51:43.320 --> 00:51:51.400 yesterday morning I was shooting the unboxing and I got to one level or one one track that has 00:51:51.400 --> 00:51:57.640 like a wave racer section where you're like on CDs and oh dude it's like freaking awesome 00:51:57.640 --> 00:52:03.640 um so like I haven't gotten to play much because I finished that shoot and then I went straight to 00:52:03.640 --> 00:52:09.000 one on upgrading the storage of non-upgradable max we had a guest come in really excited for 00:52:09.000 --> 00:52:13.880 you guys to see that video I actually got to upgrade the storage on a non-upgradable like 00:52:13.880 --> 00:52:19.960 soldered motherboard Mac myself with tools that we have in our shop so I thought that was pretty sick 00:52:20.760 --> 00:52:25.400 and then I had to go home and pack and then I've been busy all day so I haven't and now I'm 00:52:25.400 --> 00:52:29.000 doing my show so I haven't really gotten a chance to play but the little bit that I've played dude 00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:36.040 the controls feel so good the bigger joysticks are more than welcome the bigger face buttons are great 00:52:36.040 --> 00:52:43.320 the big screen the screen is great and when you compare the size the thickness the weight 00:52:43.320 --> 00:52:49.640 the general chunk of this device to PC handhelds that have a similar size of screen or similar 00:52:49.640 --> 00:52:55.800 class of screen when I first saw leaked images of the switch too I was like oh my god it's too big 00:52:55.800 --> 00:53:00.360 it's ridiculous forget it it's basically a handheld PC they've completely lost track of what it means 00:53:00.360 --> 00:53:06.760 to build a handheld console like the the Nintendo of the of the DS light days would look at this 00:53:06.760 --> 00:53:14.120 and cry for shame but now that it's in my hand I really like it we have some more discussion 00:53:14.120 --> 00:53:21.560 questions about the switch one of them is what is your prediction for lifetime sales of the switch 00:53:21.560 --> 00:53:29.320 too and related related will it end up being to your point more of a switch pro with the og 00:53:29.320 --> 00:53:36.120 continuing to sell well alongside its successor like is this going to be a ps2 where Nintendo 00:53:36.120 --> 00:53:41.640 just can't discontinue that damn first gen switch and I'd love to hear from you guys in the comments 00:53:41.640 --> 00:53:47.080 as well I would actually say yes because the price delta between the two is so enormous 00:53:48.840 --> 00:53:55.800 that there are going to be many people that just can't afford it and it'll be much more affordable 00:53:55.800 --> 00:54:02.280 and still a cool experience to try to being so old to have an original switch so 00:54:03.160 --> 00:54:06.600 it just it'll be what it is I don't know 00:54:09.320 --> 00:54:14.520 jacks raise jacks raises a really important point around this launch not going to give them any my 00:54:14.520 --> 00:54:18.840 any of my money if they threaten to brick my property because they somehow happen to learn 00:54:18.840 --> 00:54:25.880 I emulate or whatever stop giving them coverage is my suggestion so the first bit yeah that's a 00:54:25.880 --> 00:54:30.840 really good point Nintendo's changed to their terms of service allowing them to remotely brick 00:54:30.840 --> 00:54:36.520 property that you paid for unacceptable absolutely well what we need though is legislation making 00:54:36.520 --> 00:54:40.680 that illegal because companies are just going to keep pushing the envelope on this and I don't think 00:54:40.680 --> 00:54:45.640 that Nintendo is unique in that regard as for your suggestion that I just stop covering things 00:54:45.640 --> 00:54:50.040 it's not really an option there were a lot of suggestions actually on the unboxing of the 00:54:50.040 --> 00:54:56.200 switch like more than just a couple that we just shouldn't be covering it and I don't really know 00:54:56.200 --> 00:55:01.240 I don't really know how to address that because you see NVIDIA stuff too yeah I don't really because 00:55:01.240 --> 00:55:10.840 it's my it's like what what should I cover today then you know it's like actually my job anymore 00:55:11.480 --> 00:55:15.560 and it's not just my job right like it's all the people who work here it's our it's our job to 00:55:15.560 --> 00:55:21.000 to cover this stuff and to do the best job that we can and at the same time to highlight 00:55:21.000 --> 00:55:28.120 the things that are not great about these releases and and and do our job as as members of the media 00:55:28.120 --> 00:55:33.880 to educate people on what's good about things and what's bad about them so to me it almost feels 00:55:33.880 --> 00:55:42.600 like it's like when you ask the um you know the ethical person that works at a government agency 00:55:42.600 --> 00:55:50.200 who resigns because they were asked to do something that was not okay it's like it's like being happy 00:55:50.200 --> 00:55:55.480 when they resign knowing that ultimately they're going to be replaced by someone who just does 00:55:55.480 --> 00:56:00.280 whatever who won't fight against those problems like if I'm sitting here you know working with 00:56:00.360 --> 00:56:05.240 you guys and and wanting to hear from you guys you know hey what are the things that are that 00:56:05.240 --> 00:56:09.320 are obstacles for you like I've been reading the comments on that video extremely thoroughly 00:56:09.320 --> 00:56:15.000 making sure that when we do our review on LTT that we are addressing these concerns and and 00:56:15.000 --> 00:56:22.040 helping to make people broadly aware of them right like that's our job I think that you know 00:56:22.040 --> 00:56:27.240 giving that kind of feedback to someone who is to a group right like we're a team over here 00:56:27.240 --> 00:56:32.360 to a team that is that is trying to take your feedback that we can take right the feedback of 00:56:33.080 --> 00:56:37.000 you know how do we cover this in a way that addresses the community's concerns right 00:56:37.640 --> 00:56:41.960 giving feedback like you should just not cover it I think is really it's really self-destructive 00:56:41.960 --> 00:56:48.440 in my opinion oh absolutely I mean this is the same thing as some members of the audience trying 00:56:48.440 --> 00:56:54.920 to shout for every single conclusion of every single review from every single creator to be 00:56:54.920 --> 00:57:00.920 exactly identical it's like it's not even kitty kitty kitty kitty makes a good point you say that 00:57:00.920 --> 00:57:05.720 it's unacceptable then then you accept it by buying more nintendo products you can't influence nintendo 00:57:05.720 --> 00:57:10.520 other than with your wallet and you know what that's a really good point that's a super good point 00:57:10.520 --> 00:57:19.080 and I acknowledge that straight up head on in my first leak summary video of the switch too I don't 00:57:19.080 --> 00:57:28.200 like a lot of this stuff I really want to play nintendo games I'm human and what I want is 00:57:28.920 --> 00:57:35.400 better long-term solutions because again I don't think nintendo is unique in bending customers over 00:57:35.400 --> 00:57:41.080 and I don't think that anything is going to get any better without legislation but you're right 00:57:41.080 --> 00:57:45.720 you're right to call that out John Deere is completely trashing farmers we all still buy food 00:57:46.360 --> 00:57:53.560 I don't think that gaming is comparable to food but I also don't think that your example is as 00:57:53.560 --> 00:57:59.480 ridiculous as it might seem on the surface because well sort of like I do think that happiness 00:58:00.040 --> 00:58:04.760 is essential and I do think that a lot of people derive happiness from gaming I think the audience 00:58:04.760 --> 00:58:10.840 that I'm talking to can probably relate to that pretty decently you know I like nintendo products 00:58:10.840 --> 00:58:17.000 because of the demographic within my life that I get to play them with 00:58:18.280 --> 00:58:23.080 yeah and that is not necessarily true for like almost any other type of gaming that I do we've 00:58:23.080 --> 00:58:31.000 had discussions on me and nintendo going back like pretty much the history of wanshow where I've 00:58:31.000 --> 00:58:37.160 talked about like I speak pretty big about most things but nintendo is just like unfortunately 00:58:37.160 --> 00:58:44.680 this annoying company that I will just keep buying their stuff which sucks because there's just yeah 00:58:44.680 --> 00:58:49.160 again there's that demographic in my life of people that I can play nintendo games with 00:58:49.960 --> 00:58:54.520 that don't really want to play anything else and I'm not giving up on those people in my life 00:58:54.520 --> 00:58:58.840 because they're important to me so that's a nice hat asks someone help me out here what's the 00:58:58.840 --> 00:59:04.120 concern right now the concern is that nintendo's terms of service changed recently giving them 00:59:04.680 --> 00:59:08.840 theoretically the right to brick your console remotely if you do something on it that they 00:59:08.840 --> 00:59:16.840 don't like like alter it we've got some more discussion questions are you mad that there's 00:59:16.840 --> 00:59:23.960 no OLED at launch it's just an upcharging idea for later so I can eventually drop the price 00:59:23.960 --> 00:59:30.920 of this current one and release an OLED version at this price or higher that's my theory so 00:59:31.160 --> 00:59:40.840 here's the thing we know that the OLED would cost more right because an OLED panel will cost more 00:59:41.480 --> 00:59:50.120 people are already outraged at the price what would you have had them do would you have had them 00:59:50.120 --> 00:59:57.480 release two consoles side by side one at 450 one at 500 or 550 with maybe more storage and an OLED 01:00:05.320 --> 01:00:12.600 would have had nintendo do here people are saying bad take but I'm not I'm not giving you a take 01:00:12.600 --> 01:00:21.240 I'm asking a question what would you have had them do it is a fact it is a simple fact that 01:00:21.880 --> 01:00:27.960 an OLED panel costs more than an LCD panel at the same size especially if it's a brand new form 01:00:27.960 --> 01:00:33.400 factor and and this is I'm not aware of any other device that is using an OLED that is this size and 01:00:34.280 --> 01:00:38.040 aspect ratio so it would be they would have to do tooling for a new display 01:00:41.400 --> 01:00:44.840 what would you what would you have them do given that people are already outraged about the price 01:00:44.840 --> 01:00:51.560 rightfully so um t lewis says didn't valve do that for the steam deck wasn't their base model 01:00:51.560 --> 01:00:57.160 IPS and a higher end model with more storage and was OLED yes later steam deck OLED didn't exist out 01:00:57.160 --> 01:01:03.640 of the gate it came later not because valve was just trying to bulk people and and squeeze more 01:01:03.640 --> 01:01:07.240 money out of them with an OLED upgrade later but because it took a little while for the technology 01:01:07.240 --> 01:01:13.160 to catch up and for them to be able to integrate the OLED panel and they came at it with a I think 01:01:13.240 --> 01:01:21.480 a pretty reasonable upcharge um and we weren't mad about that so I just want to know what's different 01:01:21.480 --> 01:01:34.360 here what do you think Luke um I think people are just going to be mad regardless I think yeah 01:01:34.360 --> 01:01:40.520 I think if they weren't if they weren't breaking people's switches that tried to mod them I think 01:01:40.520 --> 01:01:44.920 people would be mad I think if it was more affordable and they were breaking people's 01:01:44.920 --> 01:01:50.200 switches that modded them people would be mad um I think the only way that people wouldn't be mad 01:01:50.200 --> 01:01:58.040 with this launch is if it was significantly cheaper and they weren't doing the uh brick your 01:01:58.040 --> 01:02:03.960 console if you try to utilize hardware that you purchased in a way that you want which is like 01:02:03.960 --> 01:02:08.440 obviously BS and the game cart thing is a big oh I forgot about the game cart thing that's also 01:02:08.440 --> 01:02:15.160 the game cart thing is a big one and the price of the games um I don't want to spoil too much 01:02:15.160 --> 01:02:20.280 but I will tell you guys the premise of the video uh one of the other videos we shot this week 01:02:20.280 --> 01:02:26.440 was me giving my son his birthday present see he had his birthday a while back and he's not a 01:02:26.440 --> 01:02:32.280 super materialistic kind of guy and so but one thing that I know he likes is he likes his Nintendo 01:02:33.080 --> 01:02:38.760 and so I said okay son um happy birthday I got you a switch too and he's like oh where is it I'm 01:02:38.760 --> 01:02:42.120 like well it's not out yet what do you what do you think I'm magic um I'll give it to you when it 01:02:42.120 --> 01:02:50.120 comes out and so for a video concept slash just an interesting exercise because I was really curious 01:02:50.120 --> 01:02:55.800 to get just you know an average gamer's perspective on it um I brought him into the studio and the 01:02:55.880 --> 01:03:01.000 intro of the video goes happy birthday son here's your switch too is what I would say 01:03:02.120 --> 01:03:06.120 if I wasn't worried that you're making the greatest mistake of your young life you haven't even seen 01:03:06.120 --> 01:03:09.800 what else is out there yet why would you just settle for the first thing actually I didn't do that 01:03:09.800 --> 01:03:13.000 like why would you settle for the first thing you meet angle that's really funny I should have 01:03:13.000 --> 01:03:16.360 done that for the intro anyway the point is I kind of pull the switch two away and I go 01:03:17.240 --> 01:03:23.960 wait a second try you haven't tried anything else yet and so we got a whole roster of other 01:03:23.960 --> 01:03:33.240 handheld gaming devices ally ally x uh legion go ianio 3 uh the MSI claw um I'm sure I'm missing 01:03:33.240 --> 01:03:39.240 something but uh and then also we had the we had the switch too in there and basically I made 01:03:39.240 --> 01:03:45.320 him a deal I said you can have your switch too for your birthday or you can try all these other 01:03:45.320 --> 01:03:51.560 ones and if there's anyone that you like better you can have that instead and I'm not going to tell 01:03:51.560 --> 01:03:59.240 you guys what the conclusion is but what I will say but what I will say is that because I kind of 01:03:59.240 --> 01:04:04.600 trickled out the information about each thing oh yeah ps portal was one of them because he was like 01:04:04.600 --> 01:04:11.240 stoked on the ps portal but then I was like okay there's a catch see that playstation over there 01:04:11.240 --> 01:04:16.040 like that's what it's running off of and if you're too far away from your playstation it doesn't work 01:04:16.040 --> 01:04:22.680 too good he's like oh okay because I was willing to offer a playstation five plus a portal because 01:04:22.680 --> 01:04:26.760 realistically it's not even that far off the pricing if I like pick them up second hand or 01:04:26.760 --> 01:04:33.160 whatever right um so anyway the the funny I wouldn't say the funniest moment because there's one 01:04:33.160 --> 01:04:38.520 toward the end that's like really good but one of the funniest moments was when I kind of sprung 01:04:38.520 --> 01:04:43.800 on him okay but here's the thing about the switch two while the pricing might actually be cheaper 01:04:43.800 --> 01:04:49.720 than some of these like pc handhelds the games are really expensive like I'm talking over a hundred 01:04:49.720 --> 01:04:55.400 dollars to be clear I'm talking Canadian dollars um which they are that they're over a hundred dollars 01:04:55.400 --> 01:05:00.200 for AAA games and yeah he goes he he responds he goes for each game 01:05:03.720 --> 01:05:12.840 especially he's completely used to like steam pricing 100% dude he's he was completely 01:05:13.400 --> 01:05:19.800 taken aback by it yeah wouldn't you mean for each game like he couldn't it's one of those things 01:05:19.800 --> 01:05:29.480 that you can't act he just was mind blown by it like what yeah nintendo games really don't 01:05:30.120 --> 01:05:39.160 fall in price much no they don't it's wild dude it's wild but no he's 100 right like that's a 01:05:39.160 --> 01:05:44.680 major that's a major issue with this platform is like nintendo is trying to eat their cake and 01:05:44.680 --> 01:05:48.840 have it too here where they've been up front that they're trying to make money on the consoles 01:05:49.480 --> 01:05:56.280 which fair enough you know um but they're also charging so much for the games that I feel like 01:05:56.280 --> 01:05:59.720 it'd be pretty nice if that game was subsidizing the price of the hardware a little bit you know 01:06:03.720 --> 01:06:05.240 yeah it's kind of rough 01:06:09.800 --> 01:06:16.120 all right um I feel like I've said everything I have to say about the OLED version okay our 01:06:16.120 --> 01:06:19.960 last discussion topic here for the switch to is what are you most excited to play 01:06:21.720 --> 01:06:29.880 uh I am very curious about my current world I have intentionally not looked into it very much 01:06:30.840 --> 01:06:35.880 it's the only game I have currently I didn't buy anything else for it well technically you have 01:06:35.880 --> 01:06:41.560 all your old games too yeah the upgrade packs are 15 canadian which um I don't love but I don't 01:06:41.560 --> 01:06:51.320 hate I think it's somewhat reasonable yeah um I do hate by the way this is wild um your old 01:06:51.320 --> 01:06:58.680 carts are still locked at 30 FPS so aside from not getting the HDR or any enhancements or whatever 01:06:59.400 --> 01:07:05.240 they still they run at a solid 30 FPS but it still is frame rate locked at 30 FPS that's 01:07:05.240 --> 01:07:09.320 ridiculous if I have more powerful hardware to just run it more FPS anyway garg sorry yeah 01:07:09.320 --> 01:07:15.960 based computer guy take um yeah I think my current world I don't want to know too much 01:07:15.960 --> 01:07:20.200 about it if you if you have if you like played it and you enjoyed it like that's cool but I don't 01:07:20.200 --> 01:07:25.160 want to I want to I don't want to know way too much about it it sounds really weird to me um 01:07:26.120 --> 01:07:35.400 and I'm interested to experience the weirdness see how it goes cool um yeah so anyway guys we're 01:07:35.400 --> 01:07:43.560 going to have we're going to have lots of coverage of the switch to coming up we're going to have the review on LTT we're going to have that shopping video with my son that's going to be great and 01:07:43.560 --> 01:07:49.800 hopefully it has a very long life and who knows maybe comes down in price at some point along 01:07:49.800 --> 01:07:58.840 the way gets an OLED variant and here's a question I have for you actually yeah um would you have 01:07:58.840 --> 01:08:07.880 bought a switch to for yourself if you weren't planning on playing games with like little man or 01:08:07.880 --> 01:08:19.400 others if it was purely just for you well hold on by just for me am I what if it wasn't for me 01:08:19.400 --> 01:08:25.720 and my kids what if it was for me and like entertaining because there is there's no better 01:08:25.720 --> 01:08:32.760 machine for hooking up to the rec room tv when we host a party than a switch yeah and for that I mean 01:08:32.760 --> 01:08:40.120 you know what a you know frame rate image quality you know enthusiast I am you know I I like to have 01:08:40.120 --> 01:08:48.280 a really great gaming experience and so to me the new switch is Nintendo's asking for $450 01:08:48.280 --> 01:08:54.280 for me for the first time in eight years assuming I didn't buy an OLED right which I did but like 01:08:54.280 --> 01:08:59.560 they're not actually asking for our console worth of money from me that often and so yeah it would 01:08:59.560 --> 01:09:04.200 just be part of my it'd be part of my setup for when I have friends over like play mario party or 01:09:04.200 --> 01:09:09.320 whatever I okay and that and that is in my opinion the correct way to answer that question but I 01:09:09.320 --> 01:09:14.840 want to move the goalpost and ask again what if it was just for you no entertaining just for you 01:09:18.280 --> 01:09:23.160 that'd be tough I thought I was going to play tears of the kingdom I bought it and then I got like 01:09:24.120 --> 01:09:28.040 15 minutes into it and I was like okay yeah I didn't buy the breath of the wild expansion 01:09:28.040 --> 01:09:31.800 and I don't need this breath of the wild expansion either I know there's the building mechanics and 01:09:31.800 --> 01:09:37.640 all that but it just felt it felt too similar to me what I loved about breath of the wild was that 01:09:37.640 --> 01:09:47.560 it was so different and um you know and maybe maybe I'm making your same argument about you know 01:09:47.560 --> 01:09:51.000 where I'm trying to say the switch choose exciting and you're saying it's iterative and I'm kind of 01:09:51.000 --> 01:09:57.160 making the same argument because people are going to be like yeah I played tears of the kingdom that was so different there was so much that was different about it how can you how can you possibly 01:09:57.160 --> 01:10:04.920 say it was iterative it's emotional it's gaming you know it's not objective it's not it's not 01:10:04.920 --> 01:10:08.360 FPS and frame times it's uh it's gaming 01:10:14.360 --> 01:10:17.080 I haven't gotten into a Mario Kart since Mario Kart DS 01:10:18.440 --> 01:10:25.000 I don't think that if it wasn't a launch a launch title for a console that I ultimately 01:10:25.000 --> 01:10:32.040 decided to buy you know anyway I don't think I would have just gone out of my way to get into 01:10:32.120 --> 01:10:36.520 Mario Kart again because Mario Kart DS it was a very different stage of my life I was taking 01:10:36.520 --> 01:10:45.080 public transit a lot and um like I just had like downtime you know I don't even think yeah like DS 01:10:45.080 --> 01:10:49.640 light would have been what I had so I didn't I don't even think out of smartphone yet like 01:10:49.640 --> 01:10:54.440 that was kind of what I did when I had idle time so I don't think I would I would pick that up again 01:10:55.400 --> 01:11:00.680 I'm gonna totally dodge your question again I would buy it again but I would buy it for the 01:11:00.680 --> 01:11:05.560 same reason that I bought this one to try it and then if I don't end up caring about it 01:11:06.360 --> 01:11:12.760 put it in the lounge at smash champs so what I've decided is I'm either going to keep this 01:11:12.760 --> 01:11:19.640 and put my switch OLED in the lounge at smash champs or I'm going to decide I just don't care 01:11:19.640 --> 01:11:24.120 that much and I'm not going to use it and I'll borrow my sons if I really need it and I will put 01:11:24.120 --> 01:11:28.600 this in smash champs and then either sell the switch OLED or hold on Twitter put it in the theater 01:11:28.680 --> 01:11:36.520 something if it was just a game just handheld I probably wouldn't bother because I don't 01:11:39.160 --> 01:11:44.360 I have so many games that look really appealing to me in my backlog that I haven't had a chance 01:11:44.360 --> 01:11:50.360 to finish that I just don't see the need to buy hardware to finish them this is see this is the 01:11:50.360 --> 01:11:54.680 answer I was looking for because I think because you want to talk about a game you finished no 01:11:55.400 --> 01:12:01.960 because ultimately I think we kind of bought it for similar reasons 01:12:03.000 --> 01:12:10.520 right and it was not necessarily just us it was the like the social ecosystem that this 01:12:11.400 --> 01:12:18.440 brand very unfortunately seems to be able to bring together sometimes like I know it wasn't 01:12:18.440 --> 01:12:22.760 they they advertised as if it was going to be and then I don't think it was quite as much but 01:12:23.320 --> 01:12:31.160 like we parties were a thing oh yeah 100 switch parties I don't know by the way guys I have 01:12:31.160 --> 01:12:37.080 spoiled nothing because I'm talking about the rationale for purchasing it what yeah what did 01:12:37.080 --> 01:12:43.320 they think you were talking about well that I spoiled my son's choice oh no yeah because I made 01:12:43.320 --> 01:12:48.760 the decision before you even came in to shoot the video yeah anyway sorry carry on I think that's 01:12:48.840 --> 01:12:56.200 just people misunderstanding but um but yeah it's it's it's a thing it's a bringer together of people 01:12:57.000 --> 01:13:04.200 yep and nobody else does local gaming the way that nintendo does with that said 01:13:04.760 --> 01:13:09.880 there's a lot more on steam these days than there used to be like I'm I'm finally playing 01:13:09.880 --> 01:13:15.880 unraveled to Yvonne and I are almost done and it's great it's fun it's it's not you know super 01:13:15.880 --> 01:13:22.040 challenging like if you're if you're an old school gamer or whatever you know it's it's it's 01:13:22.040 --> 01:13:30.200 kind it's very much it's like it takes two for me beautiful environments less fun gimmicks like it 01:13:30.200 --> 01:13:35.560 takes two I had a lot of different gameplay mechanics that unraveled to doesn't really 01:13:36.200 --> 01:13:39.960 but it's like beautiful environments and you just hang out and you just play a game and you just 01:13:39.960 --> 01:13:44.040 enjoy each other's company and and chill on the couch you don't have to like think super hard a lot 01:13:44.040 --> 01:13:50.920 of the time um and and that is getting better on the pc side but I don't think anything is quite 01:13:50.920 --> 01:14:00.440 Mario Party yeah even though Mario Party kind of sucks now it's still it's still works somehow 01:14:01.000 --> 01:14:06.040 anyway is it's is uh I thought the latest one fixed the unskippable nonsense that I had with 01:14:06.040 --> 01:14:10.920 the one that I bought I'm not actually sure I don't even know there's been one since then so yeah 01:14:10.920 --> 01:14:15.160 there has that that one that you and I played together for a little bit or like tried to play 01:14:15.160 --> 01:14:21.400 together but it was like unusable because of how impossible it was to skip anything that was 01:14:22.440 --> 01:14:30.360 and what killed me about it was how fixable it was oh yeah like you yeah okay well we're getting 01:14:30.600 --> 01:14:38.600 uh it screamed at by Dan Besser to explain and do two merge messages how dare you 01:14:40.760 --> 01:14:44.280 oh sorry but I have said no words you know over an hour 01:14:46.360 --> 01:14:51.480 he did the extremely loud action of putting the little thing on the corner of the tv 01:14:54.120 --> 01:14:59.000 I'm massively mischaracterizing his actions right now but it's funny to me so I think that's okay 01:14:59.960 --> 01:15:03.640 uh okay I respect that do you want to do you want to do them this time 01:15:04.360 --> 01:15:08.120 sure I just got to get something related to the thing that I was doing today to people who 01:15:08.120 --> 01:15:14.600 are working on the thing I was doing today sure uh merge messages are a thing you can get them by 01:15:14.600 --> 01:15:20.920 going to LTT Store finding a product that you're interested in like oh my goodness tall pants whoa 01:15:20.920 --> 01:15:27.880 what that's crazy adding those to cart and then going and looking at your cart and then in here 01:15:27.880 --> 01:15:32.440 you can see the big bonus bin banner or sorry actually that's cool too you should do that as 01:15:32.440 --> 01:15:35.960 well but that's not what I'm talking about the merge messages banner and click this checkbox 01:15:35.960 --> 01:15:40.360 it says you want your message to appear on the stream and then you can uh decide if you want 01:15:40.360 --> 01:15:45.000 to be anonymous or show your first and last name and then type some content like hi Dan 01:15:45.560 --> 01:15:52.920 smiley face uh and then pick whatever style you want it to be in like swamp uh and then uh 01:15:52.920 --> 01:15:59.240 when you check out it'll go to Dan and then Dan can either respond to you directly with the tippy 01:15:59.240 --> 01:16:06.120 tappies at his on his desk and then you'll see it in the bottom of the screen over there uh or 01:16:06.120 --> 01:16:14.280 he will curate it for um Linus and I and sometimes himself to respond to uh through the vocal cords 01:16:14.280 --> 01:16:17.720 later on in the stream that's how merge messages work and now we're going to do two of them 01:16:18.360 --> 01:16:23.560 where you're going to do one and then you're going to we're going to do one of them and then we're going to do some other stuff we're going to follow instructions for a change Luke we're 01:16:23.560 --> 01:16:28.040 going to follow the bloody instructions that's what we're going to do no I don't like this 01:16:28.040 --> 01:16:34.760 can we not do that yeah we should do it slightly wrong yeah let's read one and a half merge messages 01:16:34.760 --> 01:16:41.480 and then move on hello lld I will protect breadasaurus at all costs Luke as a single developer 01:16:41.480 --> 01:16:45.880 working on an app how should I go about security been looking at Firebase authentication tips or 01:16:45.880 --> 01:16:55.640 tricks don't we don't need to know your relationship status there are you can you can you can get 01:16:55.640 --> 01:17:00.440 someone else to roll your auth for you um I don't remember the names of them but there's 01:17:00.440 --> 01:17:06.840 some services that you can just get that'll do it it depends like um are you uh are you are you 01:17:06.840 --> 01:17:14.680 pre revenue do you do you have money backing you um pre revenue I like that term I remember when I 01:17:14.680 --> 01:17:19.240 was pre revenue pre revenue pre idea I think that would that would have been such a that would have 01:17:19.240 --> 01:17:25.080 been such an like oh that would have been such a hack thing to call it you know when I was this is 01:17:25.080 --> 01:17:30.120 a talking to you about it this is a startup thing oh I'm sure it is I just haven't heard it before 01:17:30.120 --> 01:17:34.920 that's great are you pre revenue are you pre investment are you pre team are you pre idea 01:17:36.200 --> 01:17:41.800 pre idea is my favorite one pre competency we have a fantastic team we poach them all from 01:17:41.880 --> 01:17:45.640 you know they're all like ex-googlers ex-microsoft whatever we're currently 01:17:45.640 --> 01:17:51.720 pre revenue pre idea but we're gathering funds uh you know it's great it's great but yeah you could 01:17:51.720 --> 01:17:57.240 you could um get a subscribed off so just like pay somebody else to handle your auth for you 01:17:57.240 --> 01:18:02.920 um I don't know how much it costs and I don't know example companies because we've never done 01:18:02.920 --> 01:18:11.400 it but I know it's a thing um someone else should do it basically yeah maybe if your idea is really 01:18:11.400 --> 01:18:15.320 good and you want to get it to market uh things move really fast these days you might not want to 01:18:15.320 --> 01:18:19.240 make it yourself when we first started flow plane the amount of things we had to make ourselves 01:18:19.240 --> 01:18:26.120 was crazy if we were remaking all the flow plane right now uh we would not have to do as much of 01:18:26.120 --> 01:18:33.000 it ourselves I'll say that much um yeah anyways all right I've got another half a merge message 01:18:33.000 --> 01:18:38.040 hey tips from tech building up for the new

an embossed breadsaurus that is subtle I don't know that it's that subtle 01:19:29.240 --> 01:19:35.480 but it's adorable making it easier to pair with other clothes and show off how cultured you are 01:19:35.480 --> 01:19:41.160 it also has a great tactile feel to it so it's like raised can you guys see the breadsaurus ah it's 01:19:41.160 --> 01:19:46.760 so cute um like most of our other hoodies it has a secure pocket for your phone or earbuds to make 01:19:46.760 --> 01:19:54.200 them less likely to fall out um and also has custom baby version of our chunk draw cord with 01:19:54.200 --> 01:20:03.880 LTT stamped metal tips um it is super comfy super soft on the inside and you look amazing you both 01:20:03.880 --> 01:20:09.160 look amazing thank you don't lie to me in public dude they nailed the color on this one they did 01:20:09.160 --> 01:20:17.640 such a good job the team just crushed this product yeah it's it's it's very it's very very comfortable 01:20:18.120 --> 01:20:25.880 um yeah it's the baby versions of the whatever these are called again draw string tips um are nice 01:20:25.880 --> 01:20:32.760 yeah yeah so uh we we made our own draw cords for I think the super soft and so we called them the 01:20:32.760 --> 01:20:38.360 chunks um and because they're metal at the end and they're like a nice thick weave so these are like 01:20:38.360 --> 01:20:43.000 that but they're baby ones they're small so they're still metal but they're they're not like ridiculously 01:20:43.080 --> 01:20:47.720 huge yeah so they're baby chunks yeah it's very comfortable the embossed logo thing is really cool 01:20:49.560 --> 01:20:58.760 get yours at LMG.GG slash breadsaurus yes um panda asks is this a permanent product or limited time 01:20:59.800 --> 01:21:03.800 who knows with us ultimately and it's not because we're trying to be mean or anything 01:21:04.680 --> 01:21:09.320 but a lot of the time the first order we're testing the waters if it doesn't sell it all guess what 01:21:09.320 --> 01:21:15.000 it's limited edition if it sells really well guess what we're going to reorder it we're we're still 01:21:15.000 --> 01:21:20.440 in the grand scheme of things a really small company um there are things about us that are 01:21:20.440 --> 01:21:26.360 kind of on the bigger side like we sell a lot of screwdrivers uh screwdriver has been an absolute 01:21:26.360 --> 01:21:32.120 smash hit for us but on the clothing like the apparel side we're still a pretty small company 01:21:32.120 --> 01:21:37.960 and we run up against challenges where minimum order quantities are just like not doable for us 01:21:37.960 --> 01:21:43.720 very regularly that's a thing uh so we're going to do our best with it and if we can you know 01:21:43.720 --> 01:21:51.800 bring in more of them we'd love to but if you really want one you know yeah but if you can if 01:21:51.800 --> 01:21:56.520 you're in a position where you can afford it right now I wouldn't say don't buy it um someone asks 01:21:56.520 --> 01:22:01.400 why no restock of the firewall shirt because that was limited edition that was a print to order 01:22:01.400 --> 01:22:06.840 where we only made as many as people ordered so that's that's how many we're selling of that it's 01:22:06.840 --> 01:22:10.040 it was to celebrate our April Fool's joke it wouldn't make sense on the store forever 01:22:13.000 --> 01:22:17.400 I would say this is um on the heavier side for hoodies would you agree with that Luke 01:22:17.400 --> 01:22:22.520 versus like the super light this is a warm this is a warm hoodie yeah it's a warm one it's not to 01:22:22.520 --> 01:22:30.200 be fair I am a warm boy and I'm sitting here and I'm fine it's not you're not gonna like absolutely 01:22:30.200 --> 01:22:35.240 roast but it's yeah this isn't bad medium this would be nice in like the fall 01:22:36.120 --> 01:22:43.240 or evening outside fire yeah this is a great summer fire side

uh any possibilities for a cross body bag or 01:24:59.560 --> 01:25:05.320 strapped for tech sack maybe would be useful for my future activities when the computer this is the 01:25:05.560 --> 01:25:11.240 thing you read before I read half of it yeah no he wasn't asking for a strap yeah it was just 01:25:11.240 --> 01:25:18.840 trapped for his tech sack I'm tethered here um so I'm not sure how far away I can get there we go 01:25:18.840 --> 01:25:32.600 no I could unplug more like behind us what is he doing I don't know anymore man screaming okay 01:25:33.480 --> 01:25:39.800 I don't actually know if I'm supposed to be leaking this already already I think I might 01:25:39.800 --> 01:25:43.000 have talked to nick about it I can kill the feet if I can't remember already I saw already 01:25:43.000 --> 01:25:48.040 talked about leaking I can kill it if you need something what is it what's that well I don't uh 01:25:50.760 --> 01:25:57.320 I want already to know what it is what is that it's a cross body bag oh cool he he 01:25:57.400 --> 01:25:59.480 he oh it's like a little one 01:26:05.000 --> 01:26:08.680 nice is this like tech sack so around 01:26:10.360 --> 01:26:15.560 kind no I wouldn't say that I wouldn't say that compared to tech sack already already it's very 01:26:15.560 --> 01:26:25.640 angry oh it's body bag oh he's typing he's typing all caps screaming oh okay should I not show it 01:26:25.640 --> 01:26:32.680 anymore well why would you show it in the first place oh he thinks it's fine yeah he said I warned 01:26:32.680 --> 01:26:39.560

not angry okay well 01:26:46.280 --> 01:26:51.720 anyway um he's not angry he's just disappointed I told you here's how the switch two goes in 01:26:51.800 --> 01:26:59.720 we have like a screen safe um flap here so it's got to be bigger than yeah so then there's um 01:27:00.840 --> 01:27:04.440 yeah it's bigger than the tech sack I think there's another screen safe pocket 01:27:04.440 --> 01:27:09.880 here so it's the other side of the same screen safe one uh see like that so you could put like 01:27:09.880 --> 01:27:16.760 a phone in there or like a hand holding a really small tablet um and then over here you've got 01:27:16.760 --> 01:27:21.480 these are tbd but a couple like elastic kind of thing so you could put a thing in there 01:27:21.480 --> 01:27:27.560 maybe a charger you know whatever I think this zipper pocket might go because you'd probably 01:27:27.560 --> 01:27:33.640 just use the exterior one if you wanted to use that volume right um this will probably change to 01:27:33.640 --> 01:27:38.920 like webbing over here so this is pretty early but the goal we were targeting switch two 01:27:40.840 --> 01:27:44.200 don't don't like say things will probably change because then what if they don't 01:27:44.200 --> 01:27:50.680 they will yeah yeah no because I had my meeting about this already okay uh this is this is pretty 01:27:50.680 --> 01:27:55.240 far away like whether we're still these are there's this is still very much subject to change 01:27:55.240 --> 01:27:59.960 so we were targeting switch two but we also wanted to be able to do steam deck 01:28:02.440 --> 01:28:09.080 so you can see it's uh it's a pretty tight fit but who knows because the subject to change 01:28:09.800 --> 01:28:16.120 yeah it's it's the idea is like a gaming handheld cross body is what we're what we're kind of 01:28:16.120 --> 01:28:25.960 targeting here um yeah it fits ally lix as well nice what other handhelds do I have with me I have 01:28:25.960 --> 01:28:30.600 my ally but that's about that's about the same size if it fits the lix it'll fit the ally because 01:28:30.600 --> 01:28:34.360 I can't really ask is it subject change but I was going to say what's the branding like on it 01:28:35.080 --> 01:28:39.800 is it the square that's on the tech sack or is it something else no it's the it's the 01:28:39.800 --> 01:28:45.240 little tiny hold on let me just see if I get my preview up here oh man I don't even look 01:28:45.240 --> 01:28:50.280 it looks pretty like sleek and stealthy there you go oh yeah oh it's the little those are 01:28:50.280 --> 01:28:55.080 black on black from the commuter yeah that's the only branding that we have on it right now 01:28:55.640 --> 01:29:01.400 that's pretty sick yeah dude every time I see a complaint about like our branding being too 01:29:01.400 --> 01:29:08.040 garish I'm just like no no I actually cannot take you seriously as a as a as a human being 01:29:08.040 --> 01:29:12.840 no one outside of our audience knows about the store because there's like no branding on anything 01:29:13.640 --> 01:29:19.880 it's not too garish we've cost ourselves probably a lot of sales by having such subtle branding over 01:29:19.880 --> 01:29:26.760 the years yeah because we're trying to be cool man because I think it looks great yeah um Yeti 01:29:26.760 --> 01:29:31.320 Wrangler asks any chance of an LTT camera bag in the future I gotta be honest with you guys a lot 01:29:31.320 --> 01:29:39.240 of um wow it's a space I don't personally understand really well and it's one that we 01:29:39.240 --> 01:29:45.960 definitely do have thoughts on as a team but I have a hard time imagining what the identity 01:29:45.960 --> 01:29:51.400 of our camera bag would be that is substantially different from what others are doing really well 01:29:51.400 --> 01:29:57.560 in the space we really try to find areas where we don't feel someone else is already doing an 01:29:57.560 --> 01:30:02.120 outstanding job because if they are then we should just buy their product I'm not saying we'll never 01:30:02.120 --> 01:30:07.080 make products that are just about sort of enriching the portfolio and broadening it and making sure 01:30:07.080 --> 01:30:13.800 that you know we have a solution for every customer but it's not really our we all we have such 01:30:13.800 --> 01:30:17.320 limited resources right now we really want to focus on the things where we can really do something 01:30:17.320 --> 01:30:27.160 different yeah and then we got of course it will be big enough to fit the charger mind paradox 01:30:27.160 --> 01:30:31.480 that's like that's our whole jam is making sure there's room to actually put chargers in our bags 01:30:31.480 --> 01:30:37.480 for the devices you're carrying is the official switch to charger less annoying than the switch 01:30:37.480 --> 01:30:45.640 one uh it's uh it's detachable so I consider that a plus both from like uh right to repair slash 01:30:46.200 --> 01:30:52.360 like serviceability standpoint as well as just a like a usability standpoint I like being able to 01:30:52.920 --> 01:30:57.000 take like oh okay it's uh it's powering my setup right now so I can't show it to you now but 01:30:57.000 --> 01:31:05.160 I like being able to take my like sick coming soon lttstore.com you know chunky LTT long usbc 01:31:05.160 --> 01:31:09.560 cable and use that for my switch if I'm you know sitting in bed in the hotel and the and the plug 01:31:09.560 --> 01:31:15.160 is far away or whatever right like I like having that flexibility for sure we'll be able to hold 01:31:15.160 --> 01:31:22.200 an iohio or virginia class submarine that's a good yes and oh good finally that's a promise as 01:31:22.200 --> 01:31:26.520 as long as you 3d print it small enough as long as you 3d print it small enough then it'll hold it 01:31:26.520 --> 01:31:33.000 just fine always the asterix got him that's how they get him and uh floor plane yeah 01:31:34.840 --> 01:31:39.160 wait no we have to do another merge message we have to do the second half of that merge message 01:31:39.240 --> 01:31:45.480 you just did that was that I read them both together because I'm in control wow 01:31:47.480 --> 01:31:53.720 fascinating for the first time what even is this WAN Show what is any WAN Show ever yeah they're all 01:31:53.720 --> 01:31:59.080 like that's fair floor plane announcement smash champs is finally open we have an exclusive video 01:31:59.080 --> 01:32:03.720 of what happened during the launch day everything from setup mini games not being able to cut the 01:32:03.720 --> 01:32:10.120 ribbon itself uh to what oh that was that was cringe dude if you're okay no you got it you got 01:32:10.120 --> 01:32:13.800 to bring this up bring this up on the screen show bring this up on the screen show if your 01:32:13.800 --> 01:32:22.680 entire if your entire bloody job is to rent out novelty sized scissors okay those have one purpose 01:32:23.320 --> 01:32:30.920 to cut ribbons at grand opening ceremonies whoa they're huge so if you're if you're novel yeah if 01:32:30.920 --> 01:32:35.720 your novelty scissors okay get find find the clip find the clip it's probably toward like the the 01:32:35.720 --> 01:32:43.880 back half it'll be pretty obvious all right before that uh before that before that 01:32:46.440 --> 01:32:53.000 keep going oh keep going there we go okay this is this is a fiasco so it's me and the mayor of 01:32:53.000 --> 01:32:57.960 Surrey and Yvonne okay we're trying to cut the we're trying to cut the ribbon look at this 01:32:58.760 --> 01:33:07.320 pathetic pathetic i think it goes further back than that too oh it goes a lot further oh you're 01:33:07.320 --> 01:33:13.000 just standing there no mind yeah yeah yeah don't worry about it just anyway we're we're very happy 01:33:13.000 --> 01:33:18.600 to be working more closely with the city of Surrey and uh you know trying to get stuff done uh i feel 01:33:18.680 --> 01:33:25.720 like we are very close to getting everything rounded out for for whale lands in the future 01:33:25.720 --> 01:33:31.800 i i don't want to here i gotta find some wood to knock on because things can be challenging 01:33:31.800 --> 01:33:36.920 but for everyone who was trashing on me when i was talking about the the the the fire code 01:33:36.920 --> 01:33:43.000 nonsense i was right by the way um so thank you for not believing that i know anything about a 01:33:43.000 --> 01:33:48.600 building project that i've been sorry what were you right involved in for years uh i was right that 01:33:48.600 --> 01:33:55.720 the the issue with the egress uh distances was misinterpreted by whoever was looking at it 01:33:55.720 --> 01:34:02.520 and that none of it mattered because people were really upset that i was like questioning fire egress 01:34:02.520 --> 01:34:07.560 standards i wasn't i was questioning improper interpretation of them i'm not just a completely 01:34:07.560 --> 01:34:12.520 uneducated scrub coming into this is not my first rodeo that's how you worded it at the time yeah 01:34:13.880 --> 01:34:19.400 what did i say exactly i don't remember what i said i said it was bs yeah it was bs and it was 01:34:19.400 --> 01:34:24.840 stupid i don't know if you said i think the interpretation is bs though it doesn't matter 01:34:24.840 --> 01:34:31.960 it was it was wrong all right people didn't ask you know who was opposing it they didn't ask what 01:34:31.960 --> 01:34:35.320 the actual issues were they knew nothing about the project they just assumed that i didn't know 01:34:35.320 --> 01:34:39.160 what i was talking about but a hundred percent did and i was a hundred percent right so that's 01:34:39.160 --> 01:34:44.440 resolved now and we will be able to have proper security at our lens which was really important 01:34:44.440 --> 01:34:51.320 to me um and we will be able to have totally proper egress for in the event of an emergency 01:34:51.320 --> 01:34:57.800 everything's fine so i'm really happy that that ultimately got resolved with the engineer yeah um 01:34:59.880 --> 01:35:05.720 you just i don't have my button man i don't have my button don't think i don't see you 01:35:05.720 --> 01:35:12.760 don't think i don't see you uh what do we do yeah dude it's been it's been such a nightmare i mean 01:35:12.760 --> 01:35:20.360 we were talking about this after our trip to uh to Taipei just like i don't think that necessarily 01:35:20.360 --> 01:35:24.680 places of business should just have alex showed me this hilarious picture of this restaurant 01:35:24.680 --> 01:35:29.960 that just had a couple of like panel style breakers just like mounted to the wall and just like wires 01:35:29.960 --> 01:35:34.760 going into them and then it's like going off somewhere like i don't think that that's necessarily 01:35:34.840 --> 01:35:41.000 how i would want our electrical code to work here but i do think that we have reached a level of 01:35:41.800 --> 01:35:47.160 control and a level of regulation that makes it ridiculous to try to get anything done there's 01:35:47.160 --> 01:35:53.400 lots of examples of this yeah if approvals were fast and if there was like a a common sense 01:35:53.400 --> 01:35:59.160 application uh or an application of common sense in um in dealing with these problems 01:36:00.040 --> 01:36:04.680 and it was it was speedy like i i think it would be it would be fine but man we've got 01:36:05.240 --> 01:36:09.480 we've got a lot to we've got a lot to figure out and i think there's got to be a middle ground 01:36:09.480 --> 01:36:14.600 somewhere i was talking to the mayor and her her new kind of slogan is siri's open for business 01:36:14.600 --> 01:36:18.840 and she's you know she's open to feedback about this stuff and i definitely have feedback about 01:36:18.840 --> 01:36:26.120 what we can do to make it easier for businesses to operate um like i've been one of my favorite 01:36:26.120 --> 01:36:31.480 stories that i've been telling people lately is that because we don't have two sinks we are um 01:36:32.520 --> 01:36:39.640 not allowed to even do so much as like microwave a hot pocket and hand it to you um and it's like 01:36:39.640 --> 01:36:47.560 yo oh my god who cares um but i also don't want to yeah it's it's weird it's it's a it's a push 01:36:47.560 --> 01:36:52.360 pull because like obviously that's ridiculous but then screwing with food you can't have any random 01:36:52.440 --> 01:36:57.960 yeah you can't have any random just serving food yeah right so it's like oh man but then 01:36:57.960 --> 01:37:07.480 yeah we should be able to just like have a microwave i don't know it's a sports facility people could bring like it's it's almost like a potential cost savings for people i don't know 01:37:07.480 --> 01:37:12.840 like it's uh jerald says probably food prep sink versus dirty sink and you're 100 right 01:37:12.840 --> 01:37:19.720 except i don't need a sink to make a hot pocket so like yeah i also don't need to wash any dishes 01:37:19.720 --> 01:37:23.800 i can just hand it to you on a paper plate and you can throw it away like that's the that's the 01:37:23.800 --> 01:37:32.520 whole thing is like there's yeah i know crystal says expecting common sense in regulations is an 01:37:32.520 --> 01:37:40.360 exercise in futility i know i just i'm a i i like getting stuff done you know i like i like doing 01:37:40.360 --> 01:37:45.960 things i like doing cool stuff and i like i like moving forward i like finding solutions and as 01:37:45.960 --> 01:37:49.880 long as everybody is working in good faith to move forward and find solutions it's usually fine 01:37:49.880 --> 01:37:56.680 i'm happy i'm happy you know because i get it there's sometimes you know stuff is challenging 01:37:56.680 --> 01:38:02.040 i get it but when we're not working forward in good faith when we're not trying to find solutions 01:38:02.040 --> 01:38:05.320 that's when i just i kind of lose it like i i don't know how to deal with that 01:38:06.040 --> 01:38:09.720 yeah i'm gonna steal a comment from binky in full plane chat but i i do agree with you we 01:38:09.720 --> 01:38:14.840 should drop all regulation the children year in for the mines we should we should let them go back 01:38:14.840 --> 01:38:19.640 finally someone said it start start getting that coal they you know they're tired they're 01:38:19.640 --> 01:38:25.480 tired of their switch twos they're tired to bring it these boring new video games okay they've got 01:38:25.480 --> 01:38:30.840 20 dollars before now they've got like three or four dolls and it is clean coal so you know we're 01:38:30.840 --> 01:38:37.400 good the day of course course you'd never have not clean coal the children year in for the clean 01:38:37.400 --> 01:38:45.240 coal um should we talk about cool at the century all of that on a shirt 01:38:47.400 --> 01:38:51.080 should we talk about AMD pulling in a video with the 90 60 x t 01:38:53.160 --> 01:38:58.920 sure about something else yeah cool the 90 60 x t is out and AMD has copied NVIDIA's idea to 01:38:58.920 --> 01:39:07.000 continue selling an eight Gigabyte version of the 60 class card it's got our dna for 20 48 cores 01:39:07.080 --> 01:39:19.560 it has 128 tmu 16 gigs of GDDR 6 v RAM on 128 bit bus or uh eight gigs on 128 bit bus the 300 01:39:19.560 --> 01:39:25.320 dollars for the eight Gigabyte version or it's 350 dollars for the 16 Gigabyte version the 16 01:39:25.320 --> 01:39:30.920 Gigabyte mind that the difference in price is like a few bucks yeah which is around these days 01:39:30.920 --> 01:39:41.160 the craziest point to me just makes a good one yeah like yeah oh man so much dude this is like a 01:39:41.160 --> 01:39:48.200 huge part of why we even build some of the products that we do on LTT Store because the other options 01:39:48.200 --> 01:39:55.080 honestly are like fine or they could have been fine if they just spent another like 73 cents 01:39:55.880 --> 01:40:01.480 like the the difference in cost between making the cheap crappy one and making the good one 01:40:02.200 --> 01:40:09.480 is so so small sometimes it drives me bananas anyway sorry carry on yeah no big time though 01:40:09.480 --> 01:40:14.760 seriously um and like really like going through the work of having multiple skews and multiple 01:40:14.760 --> 01:40:20.280 marketing and everything for this like really really i don't know the margin is way better on 01:40:20.280 --> 01:40:25.800 that eight gig crappy one yeah because the difference in cost is like a few bucks and the 01:40:25.800 --> 01:40:30.840 difference in actually no that doesn't make any sense no the margin is way better on the other 01:40:30.840 --> 01:40:35.880 one so what did they even bought i i get okay we're making it more accessible at a lower price 01:40:35.880 --> 01:40:42.520 point to to gamers who can't afford 350 dollars and that's a justification but like oh my god you're 01:40:42.520 --> 01:40:47.240 this is like well what's that the famous thing with the boots the rich men and the boots and the 01:40:47.320 --> 01:40:53.880 poor men boots rich poor something something boots boots theory boots theory yeah boots theory of 01:40:53.880 --> 01:41:01.880 socioeconomic unfairness they are selling poor people crappy boots that break down and i hate it 01:41:03.720 --> 01:41:10.280 crappy boots that break down because you can't play games that would fill the frame sure okay 01:41:11.000 --> 01:41:17.400 yeah yeah because they because it's not gonna last as long cards yeah okay sure yeah it's not 01:41:17.400 --> 01:41:22.760 future proof whereas the the rich gamer can afford the more future proof card and they don't have to 01:41:22.760 --> 01:41:29.960 upgrade as soon this is totally boots theory yeah yeah i feel like you're giving me a hard time 01:41:29.960 --> 01:41:35.880 about this but i don't understand why this is Dan back me up here i think it's just like i think 01:41:35.880 --> 01:41:42.200 yeah like if you really stretch it yes absolutely yeah yeah because you're only saving 50 dollars 01:41:42.200 --> 01:41:48.040 that's the thing is you're not even saving that much for the amount of time less that you're 01:41:48.040 --> 01:41:54.360 going to get out of it 50 dollars is quite a bit it's quite a bit 50 dollars okay yes but it's 01:41:54.360 --> 01:42:00.040 relative we've had this debate in before haven't we 50 50 dollars is one seventh of the price of 01:42:00.040 --> 01:42:04.280 this product and that's where you get into boots theory is because and that's where you get into 01:42:04.280 --> 01:42:10.440 boots theory yeah because if the one that cost 50 dollars more can last for being a seventh more 01:42:10.440 --> 01:42:15.560 expensive or a sixth more expensive if it can last 30 percent or 40 percent longer then that's the 01:42:15.560 --> 01:42:20.840 better value and that's why the person who can afford more today ultimately gets screwed over 01:42:20.840 --> 01:42:26.600 less that's boots theory i think i think the reason why the boots theory thing starts to break down 01:42:26.600 --> 01:42:36.200 for me um i get it what is he gonna say because he probably knows no i no i was gonna say i get 01:42:36.200 --> 01:42:39.880 it the boots theory breaks down because that's the whole boots theory is that they break down 01:42:42.040 --> 01:42:47.240 promoting i don't even want to like i genuinely don't want to explain anymore not because like 01:42:47.240 --> 01:42:51.720 oh he cut me off or anything but just because that was actually like so good that i feel like we should 01:42:51.720 --> 01:42:59.080 just move on that was actually great and i was just okay with it and we should move on this wins 01:42:59.080 --> 01:43:07.720 wanshow again that was actually fantastic i have to win something today i think i'm losing something 01:43:07.720 --> 01:43:13.320 else based on luke's secret topic but let me get through this one first you were also late as well 01:43:13.320 --> 01:43:16.200 yeah see maybe you lost twice taking those l's 01:43:18.760 --> 01:43:20.520 that's why they call me l sabastian 01:43:27.000 --> 01:43:32.920 no bell for you that time actually because my name's Linus oh god despite reception and recent 01:43:32.920 --> 01:43:39.160 praise for AMD when it comes to gamers or at least the vocal ones apparently none of the other ones 01:43:39.160 --> 01:43:44.600 they have lackluster uh yeah exactly they have lackluster graphics card market share 01:43:44.600 --> 01:43:51.160 according to the steam hardware survey the first discrete AMD GPU to appear is the rx 6600 one 01:43:51.160 --> 01:43:59.160 spot below the rtx 4090 AMD claims that the rx 9070 x t's week one sales beat previous jens by 01:43:59.160 --> 01:44:04.520 10x but a couple months later it's still not even on the steam hardware survey and video is also 01:44:04.520 --> 01:44:10.600 claiming record gaming revenue but it only accounts for 8.5 percent of their total revenue 01:44:10.600 --> 01:44:16.120 as data center sales have just completely taken off oh we don't need to see the graph again i've 01:44:16.120 --> 01:44:23.240 seen the graph enough yeah and Intel's not even we're not even talking about their inclusion 01:44:23.240 --> 01:44:29.400 sadly uh NVIDIA is also claiming record wait yeah you're wrong line uh discussion question will we 01:44:29.400 --> 01:44:35.960 ever see reasonably priced gpus again here are the price categories from anantex whose idea was 01:44:35.960 --> 01:44:42.280 this because this was brilliant uh from anantex 2008 GPU holiday buyers guide adjusting for inflation 01:44:42.280 --> 01:44:50.200 130 then would be 194 now and 300 for the stunt in category which i'm going to share in a moment 01:44:50.200 --> 01:44:58.040 would be 447 today and then check out this screenshot this is wild the people's performers 01:44:58.040 --> 01:45:09.880 at 100 to 130 dollars which would be under 200 today let's ridiculous ridiculous 130 to 180 01:45:09.880 --> 01:45:17.960 i remember trying to build a computer when i was probably like yep i don't know 14 or 15 01:45:18.600 --> 01:45:23.880 and i remember having a conversation with a guy that i worked with because i had jobs from when 01:45:23.880 --> 01:45:29.000 i was really young um about components and he was like all the important components 01:45:29.800 --> 01:45:35.640 and what i think he meant was like you know CPU GPU um probably drive at that point in time 01:45:35.640 --> 01:45:40.760 he was like spend about 100 bucks i still i'll never forget that conversation because he wasn't 01:45:40.760 --> 01:45:49.160 even that far off um and that's just impossible now but yeah it it caps out at well not really 01:45:49.160 --> 01:45:56.840 because it says plus but stuntin is 300 plus and it says single and multi GPU graphics solutions 01:45:58.040 --> 01:46:08.280 yep 2008 baby what a time to be alive it was a good time now you literally cannot get anything 01:46:08.920 --> 01:46:18.760 that is branded gaming so i'm talking rtx whatever um like you can get cards that are gt 01:46:18.760 --> 01:46:22.600 whatever but you're not going to get the x on it you're not going to get the like gaming class 01:46:22.600 --> 01:46:30.280 cards the way that they um categorize them for less than what would have been stuntin in 2008 01:46:30.920 --> 01:46:37.560 do you know what the to the east side references i would i think is east side just more expensive 01:46:37.560 --> 01:46:44.120 in uh new york probably i would assume i'm just guessing in new york interesting 01:46:47.560 --> 01:46:51.640 the jefferson's great guy yeah the upper east side is known for old money glamour with higher 01:46:51.640 --> 01:46:57.640 price tags apparently it's a reference to the jefferson's oh all right never mind then cool 01:46:58.680 --> 01:47:04.200 good chat cool but yeah crazy crazy screenshot really cool that uh whoever wrote this topic 01:47:04.200 --> 01:47:11.160 included that i thought that was cool good idea clubs this youtube takes down jeff geerling 01:47:11.160 --> 01:47:17.400 self-hosted video self-hosting video more than a year after it's released and then i have a bit 01:47:17.400 --> 01:47:22.600 of a spoiler that apparently it's back now which is good jeff geerling's but the way it came back 01:47:22.600 --> 01:47:27.960 i'm not stoked uncomfortable definitely yeah let's get to this jeff geerling's concerns about 01:47:27.960 --> 01:47:34.760 youtube in his 500th video special a couple months back uh were apparently uh prescient 01:47:34.760 --> 01:47:41.000 prescient prescient earlier this week his video about rolling his own apple tv alternative 01:47:41.000 --> 01:47:46.760 published in may of 2024 was taken down by youtube for promoting dangerous or harmful content 01:47:47.320 --> 01:47:52.040 if you guys remember that's exactly the same justification that they provided for taking 01:47:52.040 --> 01:47:59.320 down our video where we showed how to add block on youtube yeah which is uh live on flow plane 01:47:59.320 --> 01:48:09.080 uh piracy in his in his video oh no i can hear Dan he's upset no he yelled correct no i'm i'm 01:48:09.080 --> 01:48:15.560 literally with you 100 on that and we'll defend it to the death yeah you can do it we'll show you 01:48:15.560 --> 01:48:21.640 how to do it you can decide that it's fine yeah my god back in my day we thought pirates were cool 01:48:22.280 --> 01:48:27.880 what's wrong with this generation uh in the in the video jeff demonstrates using open source 01:48:27.880 --> 01:48:35.720 software kodi and libra alec on a raspberry pi five for 4k playback of legally acquired 01:48:35.720 --> 01:48:42.120 content stored on his local nas geerling uh appealed the community guideline strike on the 01:48:42.120 --> 01:48:48.040 grounds that a it's been up for more than a year without an issue b it's had more than 1.6 million 01:48:48.040 --> 01:48:53.480 views and see the video doesn't promote or even mention copyright circumvention tools or techniques 01:48:53.480 --> 01:49:00.680 the first two are pretty weak yeah that last one pretty strong a big deal yeah that appeal was 01:49:00.680 --> 01:49:07.320 rejected in response jeff has posted about the situation on his blog and on x and potentially 01:49:07.320 --> 01:49:13.880 elsewhere and has uploaded the video to his flow plane account let's go um x itself and the internet 01:49:13.880 --> 01:49:19.240 archive which was a bit of a gamer move and he he donated some money to the internet archive 01:49:19.240 --> 01:49:23.560 alongside that this isn't in the notes but i'm pretty sure that happened just to support them 01:49:23.560 --> 01:49:29.880 which i thought was extremely based team youtube has acknowledged jeff's comments on x 01:49:31.400 --> 01:49:36.840 such a terrible name on twitter whatever and a response from others on the platform 01:49:37.800 --> 01:49:41.320 to their response has been largely negative which is good 01:49:41.320 --> 01:49:47.560 uh geerling speculated that there may be some word on a new internal ban list that has triggered 01:49:47.560 --> 01:49:55.000 the takedown but notes that uh in quotes there's no transparency about the exact issue youtube 01:49:55.000 --> 01:50:01.080 reinstated the video around at around 240 pacific time today jeff speculates that he made enough 01:50:01.080 --> 01:50:07.400 noise to trigger a human review process although i don't think that saved um our video um jeff has 01:50:07.480 --> 01:50:12.920 received a community guideline strike before on a video about jelly fin that video had been on youtube 01:50:12.920 --> 01:50:19.480 for over two years before being pulled for harmful dangerous content that video was also restored 01:50:19.480 --> 01:50:23.480 on appeal i shouldn't have said also this one wasn't restored on appeal but that video was 01:50:24.280 --> 01:50:28.360 discussion question how can youtube create a more equitable content moderation system 01:50:28.360 --> 01:50:38.760 they can't hot take yeah i i don't think they can i don't think they can nobody's gonna nobody's 01:50:38.760 --> 01:50:44.680 gonna agree and i don't think it's really a question of equitable here i mean it's youtube's 01:50:44.680 --> 01:50:51.880 platform ultimately there's no legal basis that we can use to force them to have any content on 01:50:51.880 --> 01:50:57.560 their platform that at their own discretion they choose to not have there i mean i said very much 01:50:57.560 --> 01:51:03.480 the same thing back when they nuked our video even though i strongly disagree that my video was um 01:51:04.520 --> 01:51:11.160 dangerous or harmful to anything other than google's bottom line which again you know fair enough 01:51:11.160 --> 01:51:18.680 that's uh i understand why they don't like it um i mean honestly most of my objection was like you 01:51:18.680 --> 01:51:26.360 guys have my phone number why didn't you talk to me about this um versus just like ripping it down 01:51:26.360 --> 01:51:36.280 and then telling me like later common theme eh anyways um i mean it's like i was saying earlier 01:51:36.280 --> 01:51:41.080 look i'm all about finding solutions and working working together to move forward in good faith 01:51:41.080 --> 01:51:48.760 i am all about that um but you know that to me was not them doing that that to me was them just 01:51:48.760 --> 01:51:53.720 arbitrarily enforcing this because the thing is we have tons of content on our channel about piracy 01:51:53.720 --> 01:51:58.840 whether it's you know media backup or whether it's game emulation or whatever else things that 01:51:58.840 --> 01:52:05.640 i would classify as piracy and the first time they've ever cared we literally once our 90 day 01:52:05.640 --> 01:52:11.160 probationary period was up we uploaded a video on how to get Windows for free they didn't care about 01:52:11.160 --> 01:52:17.880 any of that they only cared when it impacted them so it's like whatever you guys this is not about 01:52:17.880 --> 01:52:25.480 policy to you this is just about youtube ads yeah and again fair enough that is they're right 01:52:25.480 --> 01:52:31.240 that's they're right yeah doesn't mean i have to like it 01:52:35.640 --> 01:52:41.320 what should we do speaking about not liking it uh we have a topic in here that is titled float 01:52:41.320 --> 01:52:49.080 plane limits downloads how dare you what uh i'm gonna read the comments on this and then i'll talk 01:52:49.080 --> 01:52:54.360 about it afterwards a user posted on reddit this week asking Floatplane limits its downloads 01:52:54.360 --> 01:52:59.720 after they had a please wait five minutes pop up after downloading two shorter videos the answer 01:53:00.280 --> 01:53:06.520 yes Floatplane has had a download limit for actually a really long time there was some 01:53:06.520 --> 01:53:12.760 commenters being like what they changed this and no we've had a download limit for like a super 01:53:12.760 --> 01:53:18.440 long time um i elijah asked me about this and i i i said to him that i think it was like the last 01:53:18.440 --> 01:53:23.400 five or so years but honestly i don't remember but it's been a long time this is not a reason to 01:53:23.400 --> 01:53:27.720 change do you want to talk through some of the technical reasons why we allow mass downloading 01:53:27.720 --> 01:53:32.120 but not in this way 100 well i'm gonna i'm gonna get through this first but yeah i want to talk 01:53:32.120 --> 01:53:39.080 about this more um uh when we have mentioned in the past uh that we are okay with mass downloading 01:53:39.080 --> 01:53:44.760 it has always been and you know we might not have vocally asterisk this at the time but 01:53:44.760 --> 01:53:49.160 what we've been talking about is through kind of like tools not you just sitting there and 01:53:49.160 --> 01:53:53.480 clicking download on every single video we are expecting people that do mass downloading on 01:53:53.480 --> 01:54:00.920 the platform and trust me people do uh to use a tool there's a variety of community made public 01:54:00.920 --> 01:54:07.320 tools there's also some people that have gone through plex and done it that way um but yeah uh 01:54:07.320 --> 01:54:13.320 i will i will now talk about why uh we are not an enormous company flow planes actually a very 01:54:13.320 --> 01:54:18.360 small company and the impact of someone just going through and clicking download on a trillion 01:54:18.360 --> 01:54:24.440 videos all at the same time is extremely high compared to someone just sitting and watching a 01:54:24.440 --> 01:54:30.520 video like the the difference is enormous not only because it's happening simultaneously but 01:54:30.520 --> 01:54:36.600 also because download rates versus just watching a video etc you could like if we opened it up you 01:54:36.600 --> 01:54:41.960 could effectively uh smash the platform now it's not that we don't want you to be able to download 01:54:41.960 --> 01:54:46.040 a bunch of videos just like please don't just sit there and click download a million times so again 01:54:46.040 --> 01:54:52.200 use something like like a plex and it doesn't have to be plex there i as far as my understanding goes 01:54:52.200 --> 01:54:58.440 there are these scripts on a variety of plex like tools and if you don't want any of that at all 01:54:58.440 --> 01:55:04.360 there are some again community members that have made um larger downloading scripts available 01:55:04.360 --> 01:55:08.440 for full plane and please feel free the point isn't that we don't want you downloading a bunch of 01:55:08.440 --> 01:55:14.600 videos the point is that we don't want you crushing our service because we are not we are we are 01:55:14.600 --> 01:55:20.040 genuinely not like that huge we can't just absorb you downloading all of our stuff well we could 01:55:20.040 --> 01:55:26.200 we can't absorb you and a whole bunch of other people doing it as well um maybe we can someday 01:55:26.840 --> 01:55:32.760 but but not yet but yeah download to your heart's content um just use something that will help us 01:55:32.760 --> 01:55:37.640 help you in kind of trickle downloading it over time um you know your subscription's going to 01:55:37.640 --> 01:55:42.840 last for at least a month if you set one of these things to our rate limit for at least a month 01:55:42.840 --> 01:55:47.960 you can download a lot of videos you can download a ton ask me how i know people do it all time 01:55:48.840 --> 01:55:55.640 it's fine it's totally fine yeah yeah hands done it i didn't know that we could have that bypassed 01:55:55.640 --> 01:56:03.160 for me so i was doing it with the rate limit yeah yeah so like i don't know it's a thing there's also 01:56:03.160 --> 01:56:09.000 there was a cut that thread man every once in a while you people drive me nuts uh that that 01:56:09.000 --> 01:56:13.320 thread there was somebody commenting about how like oh yeah well i wonder if i can find it 01:56:15.960 --> 01:56:18.440 let me search for my name because i think i can find it that way 01:56:25.640 --> 01:56:34.360 should i talk about the new there are a lot more data conscious in the last few months 01:56:34.360 --> 01:56:38.600 definitely not true uh they implemented a quality switcher on the Floatplane streams 01:56:38.600 --> 01:56:42.520 that we did a while ago and luke said something about that everyone always uses the highest 01:56:42.520 --> 01:56:47.880 instead of the one appropriate for their window size um i don't think we even have metrics on 01:56:47.880 --> 01:56:51.880 that so i don't think i would have been able to say that but if i did say that i mean you might 01:56:51.880 --> 01:56:55.320 have said that at some point but certainly you don't always say it i can tell you that much for 01:56:55.640 --> 01:56:59.720 yeah but we actually we implemented the quality switcher because people were complaining that 01:56:59.720 --> 01:57:07.480 the auto tool that we had was setting it too high for them we we did it for the opposite reason 01:57:07.480 --> 01:57:12.200 we did it so that people could turn it down because they wanted to not because we wanted to do it for 01:57:12.200 --> 01:57:19.800 them um yeah i don't know that's definitely not to the uh were a lot more data conscious 01:57:19.800 --> 01:57:24.280 the last few months definitely not not only is this download limit rule like super old 01:57:25.960 --> 01:57:32.200 but the the Floatplane uh quality switcher thing was because people were annoyed that it was too 01:57:32.200 --> 01:57:37.560 high so like no we're we're chilling this is this is not about limiting the data overall it's about 01:57:37.560 --> 01:57:44.440 limiting the momentary the spikes the spikes are the entire problem um yeah yeah like we we already 01:57:44.440 --> 01:57:51.000 have a a like global time zone spike because we have more users in north america than elsewhere 01:57:51.000 --> 01:57:57.800 luckily uh north america is pretty cheap to serve to actually um the problematic zones are 01:57:58.440 --> 01:58:02.840 germany because your isp's just fight each other all the time and australia because 01:58:02.840 --> 01:58:09.640 internet in australia is just a problem um got them don't forget about antarktica when we had 01:58:09.640 --> 01:58:14.840 that one person that was uh put that we fixed it for them camp there yeah yeah that's pretty cool 01:58:14.840 --> 01:58:24.120 heck yeah like the like one time that was awesome uh um speaking of things that are pretty cool new 01:58:24.120 --> 01:58:30.280 eu rules for smartphones and tablets smartphones and tablets that go on sale in the european union 01:58:30.280 --> 01:58:36.680 on or after july 20 of this year will be subject to new requirements devices must be designed to 01:58:36.680 --> 01:58:42.360 resist accidental drop scratches and dust and water ingress batteries must withstand at least 01:58:42.360 --> 01:58:47.800 800 charge discharge cycles while retaining 80 percent of their initial capacity producers must 01:58:47.800 --> 01:58:53.640 make critical spare parts available and provide repair information to professional repairers 01:58:53.640 --> 01:59:01.320 for seven years after the end of sales for the product model that part is super cool and super 01:59:01.320 --> 01:59:07.880 important this should happen after the product is no longer on sale and the reason for that is that 01:59:07.880 --> 01:59:13.640 you can say hey we're going to do seven years of software for this um and that can be on day one 01:59:13.640 --> 01:59:18.600 and then you could have that product live for three years and then someone buying it at the three 01:59:18.600 --> 01:59:22.600 year mark is only getting four years of support so they're basically saying no no no no no no if 01:59:22.600 --> 01:59:26.760 you're going to say seven years of software support that means seven years for everyone who buys it 01:59:26.760 --> 01:59:31.960 based not for the first people who buy it the regulations clearly lay out parts and information 01:59:31.960 --> 01:59:37.480 delivery timelines what repair information must be provided and includes provisions to 01:59:37.480 --> 01:59:43.240 ensure equitable access to qualified repairers os upgrades must be provided for at least five years 01:59:43.240 --> 01:59:48.360 from the end of placement on the market of the last unit of a product model this is super cool 01:59:48.360 --> 01:59:53.880 why is the eu so based i don't understand it but they do it and i'm into it i like it keep going 01:59:53.880 --> 01:59:58.200 also i want to jump back to the the full pentopic for a second i saw my god discussion question at 01:59:58.200 --> 02:00:02.760 the bottom is this what it's like when i'm responding to people's stupid comments and yeah 02:00:02.760 --> 02:00:07.080 no i saw the discussion question at the bottom at this end using usually honestly the flow plane 02:00:07.080 --> 02:00:13.880 users are like yeah cool i don't know it's fine it because again none of this is new anyways um 02:00:13.880 --> 02:00:19.480 discussion question is with the obvious in verification of flow plane happening right now 02:00:20.040 --> 02:00:25.960 how much of a raise can our shareholders expect and the answer is immense amounts we are saving 02:00:26.040 --> 02:00:32.680 so much off of the people downloading being now rate limited that we are increasing bonuses for 02:00:32.680 --> 02:00:37.720 full plane executives by at least 40 percent um the next line is can you talk about what do you get 02:00:37.720 --> 02:00:47.960 a Floatplane bonus i don't think so no cool nice uh all right 40 increase approved yeah that's always 02:00:47.960 --> 02:00:54.760 so easy um okay can you talk more about the challenges you have learned about data limits 02:00:54.760 --> 02:00:58.360 and bandwidth costs from developing flow plane even on simple things like quality control settings 02:00:58.360 --> 02:01:02.920 for live video uh the quality control settings for live video honestly we don't know a ton about 02:01:02.920 --> 02:01:08.280 because we like didn't care and then people were annoyed because they wanted it they wanted to 02:01:08.280 --> 02:01:13.000 change it themselves so we made it so they can change it themselves and we didn't remeasure uh 02:01:13.000 --> 02:01:22.680 live has been a challenge maybe a loss leader maybe a neutral leader the whole time we like 02:01:22.680 --> 02:01:29.640 don't make money off of live um yeah it's it takes i bet i think we could argue that we do if we 02:01:29.640 --> 02:01:35.320 factor in merge messages if we consider the ones directly attributed to WAN Show completely 02:01:37.720 --> 02:01:42.120 completely part of live we could probably make the argument i don't think they are but 02:01:42.120 --> 02:01:48.280 merge messages have nothing to do with flow plane well they don't not i mean they don't have nothing 02:01:48.280 --> 02:01:53.160 to do with flow plane flow plane is certainly a mech mechanism by which we like execute on 02:01:53.800 --> 02:01:57.080 merge messages like it's it's a promotional mechanism for merge messages 02:01:59.160 --> 02:02:05.240 how because some of those audiences that are some of those audience members that are paying 02:02:05.240 --> 02:02:08.440 for merge messages are watching on flow plane like that's where they're that's where we're 02:02:08.440 --> 02:02:13.080 going to them they're they're bringing us that business so it's like a promotional mechanism 02:02:13.080 --> 02:02:17.640 okay like i said i look i told you it was i told you it was a stretch 02:02:18.440 --> 02:02:21.560 i'm just saying i'm just saying if people are watching on Floatplane and they're buying a 02:02:21.560 --> 02:02:26.200 merge message we could attribute some of that revenue to the fact that we were delivering the 02:02:26.200 --> 02:02:31.800 message to them live that's all that's all i'm saying okay nice um but yeah the amount of 02:02:31.800 --> 02:02:38.760 development time that it's taken to support um like the chat and the chat tools and and the live 02:02:38.840 --> 02:02:47.160 player itself because it has been very disproportionate to the value that it brings i'll 02:02:47.160 --> 02:02:53.160 say all right fair enough but the the um talking about data limits and all that kind of stuff and 02:02:53.160 --> 02:02:59.640 someone to shrink it hooray let's go um it it has been interesting i do remember many a year back 02:02:59.640 --> 02:03:05.640 when we when we did originally decide to do the download thing it's because there was a script 02:03:05.640 --> 02:03:11.320 there was a script somebody had put up on github and they were sharing it on like reddit and the 02:03:11.320 --> 02:03:17.080 forum and stuff like that that just zirged the heck out of download remember that and it was 02:03:17.080 --> 02:03:24.760 like actually severely impairing our ability to serve videos like it was a problem because a ton 02:03:24.760 --> 02:03:30.280 of people were just hammering the download service all at the same time um and they were doing it 02:03:30.280 --> 02:03:34.680 through it was it was script kitty rife right like you didn't have to know what you were doing 02:03:34.680 --> 02:03:38.840 you could just download this thing off github and it would do it for you so we were getting 02:03:38.840 --> 02:03:44.920 crushed because again we're a relatively small company so we had to start implementing limits 02:03:44.920 --> 02:03:50.600 but if i remember correctly at that time we reached out and we're basically like yo we're not mad 02:03:51.400 --> 02:03:55.560 this is what we're setting our limits to if you could just adjust the script for people 02:03:55.560 --> 02:04:01.080 so they can keep using it but it just doesn't crush us that would be awesome and if i remember 02:04:01.160 --> 02:04:05.720 correctly they just yeah they just changed it so that it just sat right outside of our rate 02:04:05.720 --> 02:04:11.080 limiter and then it's like okay cool the people still have their tool the site doesn't go down 02:04:11.080 --> 02:04:17.560 because of it sounds great um so it's been it's been interesting live data is really expensive 02:04:18.520 --> 02:04:24.680 wildly cheaper um yeah anyways we can move on get that good low latency yeah 02:04:28.840 --> 02:04:34.840 what do you want to talk about now Intel draws a line in the sand that's right a sand line 02:04:35.640 --> 02:04:41.560 CEO of Intel products michelle johnson holthouse announced at the bank of america's global tech 02:04:41.560 --> 02:04:47.240 conference that Intel will only be approving new projects if they can in at least 50 gross margin 02:04:48.040 --> 02:04:51.320 adding on that this is something we probably should have done before 02:04:51.320 --> 02:04:55.560 while also clarifying that future operations including panther lake and nova lake 02:04:55.560 --> 02:05:01.080 are currently expected to reach a 50 gross profit number the push comes from Intel's new 02:05:01.080 --> 02:05:07.000 ceo lit butan who is reportedly laser focused on making this happen including potentially 02:05:07.000 --> 02:05:12.760 canceling or changing unprofitable deals with other companies holthouse predicts a tug of war 02:05:12.760 --> 02:05:23.080 with an Intel to get aligned on this mission i um i don't like it to innovate sometimes you 02:05:23.080 --> 02:05:27.560 have to make low margin products and make big investments and i really need you guys to keep 02:05:27.560 --> 02:05:34.600 doing dgpus so that's what i have to say about that not cool yeah mind you i don't need Intel 02:05:34.600 --> 02:05:40.360 losing money either like that's also not constructive um but i think realistically at a time when 02:05:40.360 --> 02:05:46.600 your sales overall are suffering um and your brand reputation is that your products are at 02:05:46.600 --> 02:05:51.160 least on the consumer side not a good value right now at least on the CPU side i think 02:05:51.160 --> 02:05:58.360 battle mage is awesome um i think just like focusing on a margin target is just making 02:05:58.360 --> 02:06:05.640 me wish gelsinger was back so please don't stop making arc gpus please please that's all i have 02:06:05.640 --> 02:06:11.720 to say about that this smells a lot to me like the Intel that sat on its laurels for a decade and 02:06:11.720 --> 02:06:18.120 lost every lead it had um which like if you want to keep doing that right now uh i guess you can 02:06:18.120 --> 02:06:23.160 just die so i don't think they're just going to die because they made major investments into 02:06:23.160 --> 02:06:28.280 products that are turning out to actually be pretty sick like without spoiling anything the claw 02:06:28.680 --> 02:06:36.440 got a long look at least um when we were looking at that when we were looking at all the handhelds 02:06:36.440 --> 02:06:46.920 with my son uh is the claw a ai plus or whatever available i don't know if that's actually out yet 02:06:47.640 --> 02:06:52.520 hold on here it is best buy uh is this pre-order still i know people are buying it 02:06:53.160 --> 02:06:59.880 yep it's available it's really expensive but it's it's good 02:07:04.920 --> 02:07:09.160 i wonder how the handheld market outside of the steam deck and switch is doing 02:07:10.440 --> 02:07:15.720 i i gotta say i or i gotta think it's really small yeah to be honest with you and there's a 02:07:15.720 --> 02:07:21.560 lot of players but like with that said dude remember when we did whale land how many people 02:07:21.640 --> 02:07:27.000 had flippin yes steamed x but they were also like rog allies and stuff no there were a couple 02:07:27.000 --> 02:07:35.640 allies more than a couple are you and whale land yeah like the test the test no no no no no no 02:07:35.640 --> 02:07:43.240 whale land at ltx oh yeah like they're the video was sponsored by ASUS so i was acutely aware of 02:07:43.240 --> 02:07:47.320 like whether there was ASUS products that the ones we were showcasing not because i wasn't 02:07:47.320 --> 02:07:51.080 going to showcase anything else but because i figured i should at least throw them a bone here 02:07:51.080 --> 02:07:56.520 and there um and it wasn't hard there were allies all over the place i was very surprised 02:07:58.360 --> 02:07:58.920 interesting 02:08:03.000 --> 02:08:08.760 very interesting i mean i you know i don't want Intel the die i hope they do well it's just yeah 02:08:10.680 --> 02:08:16.120 i i hearing this it gets me concerned about stuff like their gpus and like 02:08:16.200 --> 02:08:23.560 what an incredibly complicated market to try to get into with two generations 02:08:24.760 --> 02:08:32.280 yep like you gotta give it a while this is this this is a a market segment that leans a lot on 02:08:32.280 --> 02:08:37.480 trust and experience and you really haven't been in the game that long and your last gen was like 02:08:37.480 --> 02:08:42.600 not that purchasable this new gen is purchasable but has some asterisks on it like you're making 02:08:42.600 --> 02:08:48.120 fantastic progress uh and don't underestimate the funnel of getting people familiar with the 02:08:48.120 --> 02:08:53.000 product in their gaming rigs and they tinker around with a little bit and they maybe they 02:08:53.000 --> 02:09:01.160 learn a little bit of ai on their Intel GPU and then they become uh the purchasers yeah exactly 02:09:01.160 --> 02:09:06.440 you had them for years on the CPU side it's worth fighting for it but it's just stuff like this 02:09:06.440 --> 02:09:12.600 just it makes me concerned that's all all right microsoft wants to save us from usbc confusion 02:09:13.160 --> 02:09:19.160 beginning with Windows 11 24 h2 pc makers will need to include a number of previously 02:09:19.160 --> 02:09:24.040 optional features including dp alt mode which allows you to output DisplayPort over your 02:09:24.040 --> 02:09:30.520 USB-C port pc i e tunneling and Thunderbolt compatibility which are um basically the ability 02:09:30.520 --> 02:09:37.480 to run pc i e lanes through your USB-C port and must use Windows built in usb driver stack in 02:09:37.480 --> 02:09:42.520 order to be compliant with the Windows hardware certification program w hcp the changes are 02:09:42.520 --> 02:09:48.120 meant to ensure that usb 1 2 and 3 peripherals will just work for data transfer charging and 02:09:48.120 --> 02:09:54.840 display on any USB-C port on certified Windows 11 devices systems supporting usb 40 gigabit per 02:09:54.840 --> 02:10:01.480 second must also be fully compatible with usb 4 and Thunderbolt 3 peripherals device makers can 02:10:01.480 --> 02:10:07.560 make use of microsoft's mutt usb test tool and Windows hardware lab kit to ensure their devices 02:10:07.560 --> 02:10:14.600 comply these requirements however don't apply to desktop pcs at this time overall overall this is 02:10:14.600 --> 02:10:21.960 a w um and our discussion question is what does microsoft gain by doing this i get it and i think 02:10:21.960 --> 02:10:27.560 i think they gain their computers not being super confusing apple computers have their confusion 02:10:27.560 --> 02:10:31.480 like oh this one can support this many displays and this one can support not as many displays 02:10:31.480 --> 02:10:36.360 like they definitely have their issues but generally speaking the hardware for the macbook 02:10:36.360 --> 02:10:42.200 is way less confusing to buy than the hardware for a Windows laptop and i think microsoft is 02:10:42.200 --> 02:10:49.400 really starting to look at the share that they've lost to apple over the years and go okay holy crap 02:10:49.400 --> 02:10:53.880 no no whether it's partnerships with qualcomm for ARM processors or 02:10:53.880 --> 02:10:59.320 whether it's you know finding ways to reduce the friction of the Windows pc buying experience 02:10:59.320 --> 02:11:07.640 we have got to deal with this yeah i mean uh the Windows laptop ecosystem has always been 02:11:07.640 --> 02:11:13.800 kind of a mess um yep with a lot of just kind of junk in it and i think this is a good move 02:11:13.800 --> 02:11:19.640 from microsoft to try to clean up their space and make them look more uh serious and professional 02:11:19.640 --> 02:11:27.320 to be honest because usb has been kind of gross for a long time now like USB-C is 02:11:28.680 --> 02:11:34.040 just very annoying to deal with um and yeah i think i think it's a good move to be honest 02:11:34.600 --> 02:11:40.840 all right our last topic before we get into after dark is the recall ai thumbnail yesterday 02:11:40.840 --> 02:11:49.800 we use some here Dan no oh i thought he could hear you this whole time we never did sponsors 02:11:50.840 --> 02:11:57.000 oh crap we should do that yeah the show was

chair nice this one is sorry the show is also 02:13:41.400 --> 02:13:46.360 brought to you by AMD vance's AMD ultimate upgrade came out earlier this week if you haven't seen it 02:13:46.360 --> 02:13:51.720 it is worth checking out and getting subbed to Floatplane for some juicy extras highlights of the 02:13:51.720 --> 02:14:01.720 upgrade for me was definitely getting the broken 12 12 pin power connector out of his gaming rig 02:14:02.280 --> 02:14:06.840 seriously it had a broken clip it wasn't the like latest one that has the biggest issues but like 02:14:06.840 --> 02:14:15.080 still so we replaced that with a 90 70 xt that has working clips on its classic not for melting 02:14:15.080 --> 02:14:20.280 power connectors just eight pin PCIe power connectors you'll love to see them my favorite 02:14:20.280 --> 02:14:28.920 part was Linus barista tips oh dude i look okay i actually was pitching to sammy that we should 02:14:28.920 --> 02:14:36.920 do this as a whole series on Floatplane person x does thing y that they've never done and like 02:14:36.920 --> 02:14:42.200 try to find stuff that most people have done uh like whether like it like elijah learning to 02:14:42.200 --> 02:14:47.640 ride a bike for instance i just have never made coffee before and as someone who doesn't drink 02:14:47.640 --> 02:14:54.200 coffee i have no idea what you know you do to make coffee taste more better or more worse or 02:14:54.200 --> 02:14:58.440 something i would request out of that i love the series idea something i would request out of that 02:14:58.440 --> 02:15:03.560 series is to have someone that knows how to do it do it afterwards because i saw you make that 02:15:03.560 --> 02:15:09.240 coffee and it seemed completely fine and then he was like oh it was like my uneducated young cousin 02:15:09.240 --> 02:15:13.640 did it and i was like what would the chain what would the difference be what makes it i think you're 02:15:13.640 --> 02:15:18.200 supposed to i think you're supposed to wet the coffee grounds before pouring everything through 02:15:18.200 --> 02:15:23.560 that's one thing um but like but that's let me catch anything else have someone that knows it 02:15:23.560 --> 02:15:28.520 do it afterwards i don't know anyway what like in a french press i don't know what it was dude 02:15:28.520 --> 02:15:34.760 you're asking me like i don't know it was a mocha who knows i don't know mocha pot that's advanced 02:15:34.760 --> 02:15:39.000 no i'd know i that wasn't that i don't i don't know what it is neither of us have any idea what 02:15:39.000 --> 02:15:44.760 you're talking about i'm trying to come up with like fake terms and i just my brain my brain is 02:15:44.760 --> 02:15:49.960 goop all of that was actual but i just want to say i know french press is real i've heard of that 02:15:49.960 --> 02:15:55.240 before might as well good news by the way for everyone tuning oh question for Linus and luke 02:15:55.240 --> 02:16:00.040 who would you choose if you could give someone not from work an AMD upgrade 02:16:00.520 --> 02:16:05.880 oh that's a good question i mean i i think doing your dad's would be pretty cool he's actually 02:16:05.880 --> 02:16:11.560 working on a super cool right now he needs a system i feel like an AMD upgrade would go a long way 02:16:11.560 --> 02:16:18.760 towards making that system done at some point yeah you kind of got there before me um i would be 02:16:18.760 --> 02:16:22.760 saying the same because he needs he has he has his cases like almost finished but he needs all the 02:16:22.760 --> 02:16:28.200 components he doesn't any components anyways that'll be my job that sounds like uh it sounds 02:16:28.920 --> 02:16:35.400 good for me yep um good news for everyone tuning in right now you can enter AMD's latest giveaway 02:16:35.400 --> 02:16:41.560 for a chance to win 9800x3d a motherboard and some RAM for both yourself and a friend or loved one 02:16:41.560

and i sent them to riley because i wanted him to put them in the dock but i didn't 02:17:05.880 --> 02:17:12.200 want to put them in the dock early uh so that you didn't get uh informed i saw luke secret 02:17:12.200 --> 02:17:16.600 secret topic i knew what it was also the enemy that you were complaining about the other days in 02:17:16.600 --> 02:17:24.920 kefka's tower there's other points in the game where that happens uh yeah but i i knew that you 02:17:24.920 --> 02:17:29.080 got hit with bad breath in kefka's tower okay but there's other points in the game where bad breath 02:17:29.080 --> 02:17:37.240 happens yes but i knew you were in kefka's tower ah this guy uh i took some some screeny 02:17:37.240 --> 02:17:42.440 shoddies let me see if i can bring them up uh they're not in the secret topic right i can't 02:17:42.440 --> 02:17:50.760 believe i lost this do you know how close i am no i am super close i was pretty sure i i was having 02:17:51.560 --> 02:17:56.760 a conversation with a friend where they were like oh man you're sick again and i was like yeah and 02:17:56.760 --> 02:18:03.960 it's horrible but also a blessing because i would not i would not have been done by today 02:18:05.160 --> 02:18:11.880 to finish last night i would not have been done by today if uh if it wasn't for being sick if i had 02:18:11.880 --> 02:18:18.440 pulled it all night or last night i could have finished last night too i didn't i am i am done 02:18:18.440 --> 02:18:28.360 my color i need to shoot clear uh Dan can i send oh really so you're like one pass from done no uh 02:18:28.360 --> 02:18:33.160 it's multiple coats of clear coat but like you can go at it pretty quick clear coat goes on real 02:18:33.160 --> 02:18:38.440 fast compared to a lot of the stuff that i've been doing like i can probably finish it in one 02:18:38.440 --> 02:18:44.600 long evening of of painting now all three of those yeah if you wouldn't mind 02:18:45.400 --> 02:18:50.840 where are you gonna put oh at the top cool so i will share these one this is just a random thing 02:18:50.840 --> 02:18:57.240 that i noticed um somewhere that i was in the game you're you have to go through all these 02:18:57.240 --> 02:19:03.560 different sections collecting these little things to fight this guy um it's like fog of war except 02:19:03.560 --> 02:19:09.720 the minimap fully works uh hello that i think is that i think that's broken i don't think there's 02:19:09.720 --> 02:19:14.600 a minimap in the original game so that's uh it's one of those little enhanced edition things that 02:19:14.600 --> 02:19:19.720 just like really you guys yeah i was wondering if this was a pixel remaster thing yeah i noticed 02:19:19.720 --> 02:19:26.760 that and was just like hmm okay um and then minimap is hacking i so another thing that i was going 02:19:26.760 --> 02:19:35.480 to say is that i didn't do everything that i wanted to do because i i let two things 02:19:35.480 --> 02:19:46.520 kind of defeat me but i did go very completionist on this um i noticed with gau i went to his 02:19:46.520 --> 02:19:54.120 his father's house without him and then later on i happened to go there with him 02:19:54.120 --> 02:19:58.920 just not unplanned i thought i forgot what it was and i wanted to check what was there 02:19:58.920 --> 02:20:05.000 and he was in my party and then the whole thing happened yeah and i was like oh no there's a 02:20:05.000 --> 02:20:09.480 ton of content hidden behind having the right person there at the right time so then i went 02:20:09.480 --> 02:20:16.120 around everywhere with trying to bring different people and i tried to do it somewhat logically 02:20:16.120 --> 02:20:20.920 so i didn't technically do every person everywhere but i would like okay is this person relevant to 02:20:20.920 --> 02:20:27.240 this area um sure so i think this one with the minimap actually i had to take uh the painter girl 02:20:27.240 --> 02:20:31.960 and what is his name stragg realm and strago or whatever his name is yep i had to take them to 02:20:31.960 --> 02:20:39.640 i think it's thomasa or something but that mass made relevant sense like okay that was reasonable 02:20:39.640 --> 02:20:44.520 so there was a few of them where and i i think i did you stay in all the ins with shadow 02:20:45.480 --> 02:20:51.240 oh no oh you get his whole backstory if you stay in every in with him in your party 02:20:51.800 --> 02:20:57.400 i did some ins with him but i didn't do i didn't do all of them i got a lot of the content though 02:20:57.400 --> 02:21:01.640 the two things that are you know and there's probably more than this but the two things that 02:21:01.640 --> 02:21:06.840 i know of that i didn't end up being able to chase all the way down uh was the cursed shield and 02:21:08.440 --> 02:21:13.800 lord help me i tried it says there's the one hint that i was able to find about the curse shield 02:21:13.800 --> 02:21:18.200 at all i didn't find any outside of that was that it requires a long battle 02:21:19.240 --> 02:21:26.120 so i tried like i even i i i got into a fight that i was able to sit in infinitely oh no no no no 02:21:26.120 --> 02:21:34.760 no you have to fight 255 battles so after the way to the way to hack it as you go to cells is 02:21:34.760 --> 02:21:40.440 starting island in the world of ruin and you just like you just put a weight on the a button 02:21:41.160 --> 02:21:46.200 and then you just like um leave them walking back and forth on the island all night and 02:21:46.200 --> 02:21:50.920 then it'll turn into the paladin shield yeah so i i've never actually done that because that's 02:21:50.920 --> 02:21:56.280 lame that sounds really lame i i we had agreed i would follow no guides so i ended up googling it 02:21:56.280 --> 02:22:02.760 after i won because i was so curious uh because again the topic says something about or the the 02:22:02.760 --> 02:22:08.120 hint because my note is the hint something along the lines of a long battle or something like that 02:22:08.120 --> 02:22:13.480 so i tried one that was like i think it was at least 10 15 minutes long i walked away from the 02:22:13.480 --> 02:22:19.400 computer and then came back and then killed it and it still didn't uncurse itself so i gave up 02:22:20.840 --> 02:22:24.200 and then the other one was was an esper and i'm confused because 02:22:26.120 --> 02:22:30.520 it said i i got an achievement i got an achievement for unlocking all the espers 02:22:30.520 --> 02:22:40.920 but there's a blank spot on my espers list uh no you probably got them all then i don't know what's up with that but either way okay 02:22:40.920 --> 02:22:45.560 here is the state i was in when i went into the final battle 02:22:48.360 --> 02:22:55.640 oh my goodness so every character except for edgar is blinded and silenced and almost everybody 02:22:55.640 --> 02:23:04.360 is dead nice but uh so this was my second attempt because i i died the first time which i yeah i'm 02:23:04.360 --> 02:23:10.040 not even shamed to admit um because i'm pretty stoked that i somehow scraped by on the and i 02:23:10.040 --> 02:23:15.720 have my winning screenshot which i'll show you in a second and it's close uh but i somehow beat 02:23:15.720 --> 02:23:22.520 it my second attempt um the first attempt i got i got raffle stout but i i your your characters 02:23:22.520 --> 02:23:29.080 come in in a queue and this is all of my original four so i made it with the first four that i 02:23:29.080 --> 02:23:38.040 attempted to go up with which was cool um but that's how the game ended absolutely insane 02:23:39.080 --> 02:23:48.200 three characters at one hp that is that's unreal incredible and i i took these screenshots because 02:23:48.280 --> 02:23:53.000 when i when i took this first one i was like you know i'm gonna he was talking at this point in 02:23:53.000 --> 02:23:56.280 time so it was fine it doesn't show any dialogue on the screen but he was talking at this point in 02:23:56.280 --> 02:24:01.240 time so i i knew i was safe to take the screenshot but i was like i want a screenshot that i got 02:24:01.240 --> 02:24:05.240 here and it was so close and i expected to attrition through a bunch of units and stuff 02:24:05.240 --> 02:24:11.560 but then i realized uh when i think it was go go died yeah i was like oh yeah somebody will 02:24:11.560 --> 02:24:17.240 die and then i'll cycle them out right it didn't cycle go go and the second he died i was like oh 02:24:17.320 --> 02:24:25.800 no um and this is after actually i think a fair amount of revives um and then i i started 02:24:25.800 --> 02:24:31.640 realizing that i should use the the phoenix magic the re-raise or whatever yeah because 02:24:32.360 --> 02:24:37.960 kefka brings you all down to one hp and then yeah i was trying to heal everybody up frantically 02:24:37.960 --> 02:24:43.560 afterwards and i was like it's actually easier to just yeah bring them back up afterwards um 02:24:44.360 --> 02:24:50.360 and oddly enough my the like two primary carries i had for most of the game ended up doing 02:24:50.360 --> 02:24:56.920 probably a minority of the damage and edgar just jumping repeatedly for so long is what ended 02:24:56.920 --> 02:25:04.760 up killing them because the primary characters yeah yeah yeah i ended up doing dragoon for edgar 02:25:04.760 --> 02:25:10.360 and i would cycle it on other people but edgar was the main one because he seemed to just do so 02:25:10.440 --> 02:25:17.640 much damage yeah because he can use pikes yeah yeah and there's there's only a couple i think mog 02:25:17.640 --> 02:25:24.920 and maybe one other that can use pikes um gogo i didn't like it first and then my my main character 02:25:24.920 --> 02:25:31.560 i can't remember what her name is supposed to be uh tara uh tara yeah my main character she gets this 02:25:32.200 --> 02:25:39.560 scroll thing that gives her dual cast and then uh it like happened by accident i didn't realize 02:25:39.560 --> 02:25:46.760 gogo would gain the dual cast so i would cast ultima twice which ended up casting ultima four 02:25:46.760 --> 02:25:53.800 times yep and then every fight was just like over yeah which was amazing but that's one of the fun 02:25:53.800 --> 02:26:00.360 things about old games is that you can get these broken builds that just yeah just just crush the 02:26:00.360 --> 02:26:08.120 game yeah because sellus um i at first i was building her as a caster but then i liked the idea that the 02:26:09.080 --> 02:26:15.480 she was like more melee focused and then my tara was more magic focused um so she had the 02:26:16.280 --> 02:26:23.080 what is it the um oh man i can't remember the name i think it's the genji glove which lets you do 02:26:23.080 --> 02:26:29.720 the offering and the offering is it offering lets you hit four times yeah and then you pair those 02:26:29.720 --> 02:26:34.760 two together and you hit like eight times or something it's crazy lock with the genji glove 02:26:34.840 --> 02:26:42.040 and the offering is one of the like oh i never i liked mug it was fun stealing items but i never 02:26:42.040 --> 02:26:46.840 really used lock much one thing that i realized afterwards was one of the times that i played 02:26:46.840 --> 02:26:51.240 and then stopped playing for a long time right when i stopped playing is right when i unlocked gao 02:26:52.520 --> 02:26:57.080 so i never really like figured him out because when i came back i forgot what i was supposed to do 02:26:57.080 --> 02:27:02.760 so he was like worthless on my roster and then my googling afterwards was like okay apparently 02:27:02.760 --> 02:27:08.040 he's amazing yeah he's one of those ones where you have to like really make a serious investment 02:27:08.040 --> 02:27:12.440 in him and then he's like completely OP but i never really liked the random characters and the fact 02:27:12.440 --> 02:27:16.680 that i couldn't select what he's going to do on his turn i've just never gotten into that play style 02:27:16.680 --> 02:27:20.760 yeah i i was really excited to get the yeti and then i realized that he just like does his own 02:27:20.760 --> 02:27:26.200 thing and i never really used him because of that um gogo i didn't even really like much i only 02:27:26.200 --> 02:27:30.280 really started using him once i got that dual cast thing and i realized how overpowered it was for 02:27:30.280 --> 02:27:36.600 him to be able to mimic it but i didn't really like his character until that moment and i actually 02:27:36.600 --> 02:27:41.640 didn't really use him much i only used him here because i knew it was so overpowered right and 02:27:41.640 --> 02:27:47.960 i just wanted the power to kill the boss but i didn't find it fun yeah no i i agree i like i've 02:27:47.960 --> 02:27:54.680 always preferred to be able to actually control my characters one of the ones like this and i i 02:27:54.680 --> 02:27:58.280 know one of the reasons why i liked him was because i actually really enjoyed the key inputs 02:27:58.280 --> 02:28:02.280 but sabin was probably my favorite character of the run and a bunch of people 02:28:03.800 --> 02:28:07.800 when i said this a long time ago when we talked about fun and fantasy a bunch of people told me 02:28:07.800 --> 02:28:14.120 that he uh why didn't you heal before not that it matters but still what do you mean no no he had 02:28:14.120 --> 02:28:18.600 already won he had just been slammed and he was just like there was one more hit than he he won 02:28:19.240 --> 02:28:24.200 yeah this top screenshot you just went through like a huge gauntlet like yeah there's a reason 02:28:24.280 --> 02:28:30.200 i got here beat up and then down here the game just ended yeah um but yeah people were like oh 02:28:30.200 --> 02:28:36.440 sabin sucks sabin sucks sabin's awesome and sabin was awesome the whole way through and again i 02:28:36.440 --> 02:28:40.520 don't know maybe i just didn't use because i didn't realize gao was really good or whatever so maybe 02:28:40.520 --> 02:28:44.360 i didn't didn't realize that certain things are really strong but sabin was the first 02:28:44.360 --> 02:28:50.360 character for me to get to capped damage right and then once you get whatever it's called razor 02:28:50.360 --> 02:28:58.520 gale or whatever he i was i was having him hit for three to four k per target multi target 02:28:58.520 --> 02:29:06.040 and hitting capped damage on single target way before anyone else sabin sabin is awesome 02:29:06.040 --> 02:29:13.000 but he's like he's not cool to like basically is what it comes down to oh because he because he 02:29:13.000 --> 02:29:18.360 doesn't cap out as high in the end game as some of the other guys that's all got it well it's just 02:29:18.360 --> 02:29:23.080 like whatever whatever okay i don't care about that at all and i i enjoy like i know you're like a 02:29:23.080 --> 02:29:29.640 backstory guy as well yeah his story is cool yeah yeah i don't know he was awesome i really i really 02:29:29.640 --> 02:29:34.120 liked it i also really liked that it was kind of refreshing that you get to the end and you 02:29:34.120 --> 02:29:43.240 have to kill kafka and kafka is just evil oh yeah he's like it's very clear he's my favorite 02:29:43.320 --> 02:29:51.560 video game villain for sure he's just he's just such a jerk like the speech at the end 02:29:51.560 --> 02:29:55.640 where he's like why are you even alive if you know what's going to end and like all this kind of 02:29:55.640 --> 02:30:03.320 stuff is like yeah this guy sucks oh he's such he's such a crap head which is great because 02:30:03.320 --> 02:30:08.280 then you fight him and then and then it's such a like it's a brutal fight he's constantly just 02:30:08.280 --> 02:30:14.200 flips you to one hp he does that thing where um he blinds and silences you i'm pretty sure he did 02:30:14.200 --> 02:30:19.000 that as well i swear and then he just hits you so hard that he'll just one shot one of your guys 02:30:19.000 --> 02:30:23.560 randomly so you're like trying to keep your team alive and he's just like that one's dead that one's 02:30:23.560 --> 02:30:28.680 dead you have no idea how much hp he has because the game never tells you which is so frustrating 02:30:28.680 --> 02:30:33.080 so it's like very likely that i had him like one hit from dead for a long time because i was just 02:30:33.080 --> 02:30:37.080 trying to keep my team alive when i could have just one shot him because it was so tense the whole 02:30:37.080 --> 02:30:43.000 way and then i beat it with three characters at three hp ah man it was uh it was great i'm glad 02:30:43.000 --> 02:30:49.880 you enjoyed the game i'm really glad you enjoyed the game i um i have an update for you as well 02:30:49.880 --> 02:30:59.720 i sent it to Dan oh i think i did oh did i not oh hold on did where the heck is my attachment 02:30:59.720 --> 02:31:05.320 but i'll say this much i was never that into even the idea of final fantasy games and now i'm like 02:31:06.280 --> 02:31:11.480 i'm worried that you gave me the one that i would like like the most uh so it's just downhill 02:31:11.480 --> 02:31:16.680 from here but i am can't wait for you to try 10 i am more interested in other final fantasy games 02:31:16.680 --> 02:31:24.760 now okay i will get you well hey there's the um there's the war of the lions um i'm definitely 02:31:24.760 --> 02:31:32.600 going to check that out it's a very different game no it's probably a better game oh cool it's 02:31:32.600 --> 02:31:38.040 really good yeah i have i haven't played any of the i haven't actually played the war of the 02:31:38.040 --> 02:31:45.480 lions version i've only ever played the psx like final fantasy tactics version um okay Dan go ahead 02:31:45.480 --> 02:31:50.280 and share that sorry the file share i didn't go through before oh uh could this go in the dock oh 02:31:50.280 --> 02:31:59.000 no it's just a picture yeah sure yeah i hated the final fantasy combat style before i started 02:31:59.000 --> 02:32:06.280 playing and now it's like totally fine ready to see this look uh yeah i'm ready oh they're 02:32:06.280 --> 02:32:15.400 starting to look good though circles wheels done oh that's awesome actually it helps having the 02:32:16.680 --> 02:32:24.520 the middle bit be black yeah that was a lot of work because painting a candy coating evenly 02:32:25.240 --> 02:32:34.040 um like this is really hard we had to find a way to spin the wheel while holding the gun stationary 02:32:34.040 --> 02:32:40.200 in order to get it like even and we had to find exactly the right angles to kind of hit it from 02:32:40.200 --> 02:32:47.640 to get good coverage uh we masked it up uh the other night and um and did the black it looks 02:32:48.520 --> 02:32:55.240 incredible in person i'm actually pretty excited for i'm pretty excited for when it's done someone 02:32:55.240 --> 02:33:00.760 asked uh why paint where the tires go it's not it's like not done well like that'll be covered uh 02:33:00.760 --> 02:33:06.600 don't worry about that yeah yeah yeah because i'm i'm spraying right so it's not like with a brush 02:33:06.600 --> 02:33:12.760 yeah um the kid across the street asks couldn't you dip it i can't um i don't know how i would 02:33:13.320 --> 02:33:18.760 dip a two tone like this i guess you could dip it like if you painted it i guess you're 02:33:18.760 --> 02:33:23.640 asking if i painted it black and then like i dipped one side and then dipped the other side 02:33:23.640 --> 02:33:29.720 that's not so um but the but the pink is not a solid color it's a candy coat it's translucent 02:33:29.720 --> 02:33:39.080 so it had to be painted over white so this has this was blasted primered white multiple coats 02:33:39.080 --> 02:33:48.040 of primer multiple coats of white then two coats of pink then one coat of pearl then masked then 02:33:48.040 --> 02:33:55.240 two coats of black on those parts then it will get clear coated for the whole thing so it's uh 02:33:55.240 --> 02:34:02.520 it's a it's a super multi-part process and i got as far as not having done the black yet having 02:34:02.520 --> 02:34:07.240 done two coats pink two coats candy i think i did that time and it was a disaster i had to 02:34:07.240 --> 02:34:13.880 completely redo it so both of these have actually been fully stripped twice and redone it's been an 02:34:13.880 --> 02:34:25.880 absolute nightmare uh this project i am i am so so done um anyway i think like one more big session 02:34:25.880 --> 02:34:32.760 also i can clear coat just this and the frame and they can start assembly and then um i can do the 02:34:32.760 --> 02:34:39.160 rest at my leisure especially now that i lost the challenge no but uh it's pretty good because it's 02:34:39.160 --> 02:34:44.520 kind of motivated me to keep working on it so and now i'm close enough that i can just get over the 02:34:44.520 --> 02:34:53.960 line i'm hoping to ride this summer i um i'm happy with how i approached the game i think i got a 02:34:53.960 --> 02:34:59.560 lot more out of it playing it the way that i did like no guide and like oh definitely experimenting 02:34:59.560 --> 02:35:04.760 with things and trying things and stuff but brother that was a long game it is a long game 02:35:06.840 --> 02:35:12.520 like i i don't know if i've played almost any game that took me that long to actually get through 02:35:12.520 --> 02:35:20.680 the story like whoa yeah and the world of ruin maybe morrowind the world of ruin is really not as tight 02:35:20.680 --> 02:35:25.560 as the world of balance so i think i told you that the game was supposed to end at the world of balance 02:35:25.560 --> 02:35:29.800 that's supposed to be the final fight and then we have room on the cart let's just keep making the 02:35:29.800 --> 02:35:39.080 game yeah yeah it uh there's and you know there's definitely like oh uh that tower there was a lot 02:35:39.080 --> 02:35:45.640 of unnecessary rooms and stuff oh yeah there was also like there's one room in particular i can just 02:35:45.640 --> 02:35:50.760 talk about fun fancy forever uh there's one room in particular where i just got roasted i i don't 02:35:50.760 --> 02:35:56.680 remember um i was quicksaving fairly often and it was like one small room and it's the only place in 02:35:56.680 --> 02:36:02.120 the entire thing that i ran into this one mob oh dude quicksaving such a hack there was no quicksave 02:36:02.120 --> 02:36:07.880 when i played that game but sure okay really i did okay so i did only save the save points i did 02:36:07.880 --> 02:36:14.040 noticed interesting okay oh it was brutal i misinterpreted that then because i noticed the 02:36:14.040 --> 02:36:20.200 save points so i i i assumed that they're oh interesting dang yeah that would have been 02:36:20.200 --> 02:36:27.640 a lot harder in mostly just an annoying way for sure oh a hundred percent the way i thought it 02:36:27.640 --> 02:36:32.120 worked i never really paid attention the way i thought it worked was that you had to because 02:36:32.120 --> 02:36:37.880 there was times where it wouldn't let you quicksave but you didn't always have to normally save at a 02:36:37.880 --> 02:36:47.160 save point yeah so i thought quicksave um like wouldn't stay if you close the game 02:36:48.280 --> 02:36:53.640 oh no no i thought that i thought the save points were still valuable because of that but i guess 02:36:53.640 --> 02:36:57.960 they just literally were meaningless because i think it's more that you can you can use them for 02:36:57.960 --> 02:37:07.480 sleeping bags intense i didn't know that really oh i almost never used sleeping bags intense 02:37:08.840 --> 02:37:13.720 oh yeah tents are good oh i will say another another thing that i want to praise it for 02:37:13.720 --> 02:37:20.440 is that the like how it teaches you how to be self-sufficient within the game is really interesting 02:37:21.080 --> 02:37:25.480 i i'm assuming everyone goes through this where like at the start you're dealing with ins and 02:37:25.480 --> 02:37:30.040 sleeping bags intense and potions and the economy is rough you don't have all that much money and 02:37:30.040 --> 02:37:34.600 you're spending it all on potions it's like ah this this is sucks and then you start getting 02:37:34.600 --> 02:37:38.760 healing spells you know like okay i can heal but then i run out of mana and that's an issue 02:37:38.760 --> 02:37:47.720 and then you get um whatever it's called um or or osmos uh yeah and then you can yeah sorry 02:37:47.720 --> 02:37:53.240 osmos not rasp rasp damages their mp yeah so you can you can now pull mana from monsters now you 02:37:53.240 --> 02:37:56.600 now you can pull mana and you can heal your team so if you find a fight that's not that 02:37:56.600 --> 02:38:01.320 hard you can like bring everything back up and like all it's it's very cool it's really well 02:38:01.320 --> 02:38:08.840 thought out game anyways uh i think it's time for after dark i think so 02:38:11.320 --> 02:38:14.760 yeah i would recommend you play it if you haven't there's probably not that many people that 02:38:14.760 --> 02:38:19.640 haven't but i would recommend you play it if you haven't and um i don't know if it's better 02:38:19.640 --> 02:38:26.440 following with the guide but i really enjoyed the search um i thought that part was actually 02:38:26.440 --> 02:38:33.240 very fun and very rewarding i think one of the problems with with enjoying the search 02:38:33.240 --> 02:38:39.240 is you end up searching in a bunch of games that have nothing um and a lot of my favorite games 02:38:39.240 --> 02:38:44.120 actually have stuff like morrowind had stuff if you looked things were there and i found in this 02:38:44.120 --> 02:38:49.800 game if i looked stuff was there and very rewardingly there sometimes and i swear a lot of these 02:38:49.800 --> 02:38:54.680 were not required sometimes i would go find something and it would take me like a day 02:38:56.680 --> 02:39:05.320 there's no way this thing was like necessary but it was awesome uh like unlocking um i don't even 02:39:05.320 --> 02:39:09.480 remember but unlocking like certain people's abilities or getting little things that like 02:39:09.480 --> 02:39:13.640 definitely weren't necessary but you know made the game a little easier whatever added flavor 02:39:13.640 --> 02:39:20.280 added character story um there was so much to it that like i had to dig pretty hard for 02:39:21.320 --> 02:39:24.920 which yeah there's interesting ways that they ARM you to do that because i used the 02:39:24.920 --> 02:39:29.560 bestiary to find parts of the game that i had never found was the bestiary in the original 02:39:29.560 --> 02:39:36.520 version no okay well all right either way um because i would look and because if you highlighted 02:39:36.520 --> 02:39:40.440 a question mark question mark thing on the bestiary it would show you where it was but it 02:39:40.440 --> 02:39:45.560 wouldn't show you what it was oh that's interesting so i could look at an area and be like i haven't 02:39:45.560 --> 02:39:52.360 been here how do i get there um there there was a few different ways there was the dots on the map 02:39:52.360 --> 02:39:56.440 not going big if you hadn't actually found the thing so realizing they're like okay something's 02:39:56.440 --> 02:40:02.440 there and i can't get there yet and then also that's a new creature comfort as well so i would not 02:40:02.440 --> 02:40:06.280 have found anywhere near as much stuff if i didn't have these tools and honestly that's a good thing 02:40:06.280 --> 02:40:10.920 though because it was easy to miss a lot of the content in the game in the old version so there 02:40:10.920 --> 02:40:16.680 are certain things that are really good yeah um but yeah i thought the bestiary was was awesome 02:40:19.640 --> 02:40:24.520 okay Dan want to hit us with after dark yeah sure i got some rich messages for you here 02:40:24.520 --> 02:40:30.040 sure hi wan.dll Linus noticed almost all the t-shirt designs were taken off the store was 02:40:30.040 --> 02:40:35.160 waiting for a bunch to restock what's the reason for the purge love the designs and then i'm excited 02:40:35.160 --> 02:40:41.320 to see more soon i think we're kind of refreshing everything it's been kind of a nightmare between 02:40:42.440 --> 02:40:50.440 just supplier challenges and tariffs and um implementing like new colors and our tall blanks 02:40:50.440 --> 02:40:57.560 and also just the the relatively low volume of our printing partner um which is not a 02:40:57.560 --> 02:41:04.840 criticism it just is a thing that is um so doing the same kind of volume of t-shirt designs that 02:41:04.840 --> 02:41:08.920 we used to do has been a real challenge it's something that we do have plans to fix but it's 02:41:08.920 --> 02:41:14.040 just it's like anything it's going to take time when do you guys think we will ever see a time in 02:41:14.040 --> 02:41:19.240 gaming where we will try and make sure it works properly versus just dropping it and hoping to 02:41:19.240 --> 02:41:24.120 fix it later i really hate the state of most ah ah games that's triple a and quadruple a 02:41:27.640 --> 02:41:32.680 i don't see that getting better anytime soon i mean now that games as a service is the new meta 02:41:33.240 --> 02:41:43.080 i i just don't i don't i don't foresee that being a thing that's going to happen i think that we 02:41:43.080 --> 02:41:50.680 just have to kind of um wait invest in games when they are in a state that we believe is 02:41:50.680 --> 02:41:56.120 finished enough for us to enjoy and hope that the devs of the games that we love are going to 02:41:56.120 --> 02:42:00.200 you know continue to invest the time to get them to a working state in fairness to devs 02:42:00.920 --> 02:42:07.800 the hardware variants that exist today or variations that exist today are much much 02:42:07.800 --> 02:42:14.520 broader than they used to be optimizing a game is harder than ever and that shouldn't just be a 02:42:14.520 --> 02:42:20.760 crutch that shouldn't just be an excuse for poor quality work or for you know a publisher or 02:42:20.760 --> 02:42:25.720 management forcing something out when you know everyone knows it's not ready but it is also a 02:42:25.720 --> 02:42:35.480 reality ltd store underwear is my favorite is it coming back love from australia yes oh thank 02:42:35.480 --> 02:42:41.560 goodness that's a question i've had actually thank you for asking that yeah did they come 02:42:41.560 --> 02:42:48.520 in upside down though um i don't know we have some really cool designs coming up though there's 02:42:48.520 --> 02:42:54.280 this one with like pixel art australia and one with pixel art like potions and stuff on it 02:42:54.360 --> 02:43:00.520 like kind of gamer gamer underwear i'm pretty stoked i'm sorry luke hi wanda tlo i've been 02:43:00.520 --> 02:43:05.720 watching for about three years now and you have always been my mentor throughout my it career 02:43:05.720 --> 02:43:12.120 who are your mentors and what did you learn from them oh i mean i've had a lot of mentors i guess 02:43:13.000 --> 02:43:19.720 um you know one of them i hired as our ceo taryn taught me a lot um my other boss at ncix taught 02:43:19.720 --> 02:43:30.280 me a lot jack um you know externally i i have been really impressed by people who came before me 02:43:30.280 --> 02:43:35.320 in tech media like chris perillo i just thought his professionalism that time that we had him on the 02:43:35.320 --> 02:43:44.440 WAN Show was big time unreal yeah very inspiring i i don't know if i described that as mentorship 02:43:44.440 --> 02:43:47.560 because i don't like know him super well like we've hung out a few times but other than that 02:43:47.640 --> 02:43:53.800 but inspiring but definitely inspiring yeah um was this question specifically for you 02:43:56.360 --> 02:44:02.200 i don't think so um i've used i've used wendell 02:44:03.960 --> 02:44:09.560 just i think a fair way of saying it yeah he definitely would qualify as a mentor for you 02:44:09.560 --> 02:44:16.280 hundred percent yeah wendell's been huge for me actually because um when when i started doing 02:44:16.280 --> 02:44:19.880 float playing stuff i didn't i didn't know a lot of people that were like managing 02:44:20.840 --> 02:44:25.640 software teams or anything um or building software not even not even managing software 02:44:25.640 --> 02:44:33.480 teams i knew very few people in that industry at all and he was extremely helpful extremely 02:44:33.480 --> 02:44:38.680 understanding generous with his time and extremely generous with his time like and still is i still 02:44:38.680 --> 02:44:44.840 go to him for stuff now um but especially back there it was like actually a genius so oh just 02:44:44.840 --> 02:44:52.520 dude yeah he's fantastic i very much enjoy just hanging out with him and then at this point it's 02:44:52.520 --> 02:44:56.520 mostly hanging out with him and then there are tidbits that he'll like say something and i'll 02:44:56.520 --> 02:45:02.280 be like oh okay i'm gonna note that down it's less like direct question and answer and it's more like 02:45:02.360 --> 02:45:10.440 osmosis just being near him for a while is like uh helpful i don't know about mentorship but i've 02:45:10.440 --> 02:45:16.600 talked before about taking a lot of inspiration from um Noctua's leadership and how they approach 02:45:16.600 --> 02:45:22.120 product development um same with framework i i love that they're staying true to their mission 02:45:22.120 --> 02:45:27.800 even though you know they've taken vc money and it can be really tempting to just do whatever it 02:45:27.800 --> 02:45:31.480 takes to make a buck in order to generate a return for your investors 02:45:34.200 --> 02:45:41.080 yeah investment disclosure hit me Dan hello land duke and dynas what is your biggest distraction 02:45:41.080 --> 02:45:45.160 during the workday getting in the way of getting things done also more bretosaurus merge please 02:45:48.440 --> 02:45:55.560 interruptions i mean many notifications because of yeah too many incoming communications 02:45:55.640 --> 02:46:01.160 on too many various communication platforms yeah i think that's a really good way of putting 02:46:01.160 --> 02:46:06.680 it i second that motion ding hit me Dan it's a huge issue ding but it's your phone this time 02:46:08.360 --> 02:46:14.360 what watch is Linus wearing i noticed it during this switch to unboxing i think it's a 02:46:15.960 --> 02:46:22.600 i think it's the two r from one plus so basically doesn't even know it's fine i guess uh i don't know 02:46:22.600 --> 02:46:28.200 whatever the new thing from rolex is i don't even care at this point oh my god i just have a guy buy 02:46:31.080 --> 02:46:35.880 people like who watches a lot takes my maybach down and goes picks up the new release 02:46:36.840 --> 02:46:43.400 oh you're still driving around in a maybach oh oh jeez why do i talk to you i only just found out 02:46:43.400

letting me use the menu i'm trying to 02:46:57.320 --> 02:47:03.000 navigate to the find out what model it is um not a very glowing but it's not on my wrist and it 02:47:03.000 --> 02:47:12.600 keeps locking sorry one sec uh yeah i think it's the two r honestly i just use it as pretty much 02:47:12.600 --> 02:47:19.960 just to watch these days i've just found that it's so tedious to interact with my wrist compared to 02:47:19.960 --> 02:47:29.560 just pulling my phone out that i can't get that into it it's all i got that's all you got okay all 02:47:29.560 --> 02:47:34.680 right well maybe i actually get to eat a meal for the first time today i wouldn't even bother at 02:47:34.680 --> 02:47:41.320 this point yeah i think yeah it's the two r it's the two r um no you should eat oh hey i'm getting 02:47:41.320 --> 02:47:46.520 braces oh nice okay and that's the end of the show we'll see you again next week same bedtime 02:47:46.520 --> 02:47:55.000 are you getting a visa line or the metal ones um i am okay those were options cool options good 02:47:55.000 --> 02:48:03.480 options solid options third option um but i couldn't resist the 3d printed option oh so there's this 02:48:03.480 --> 02:48:09.880 like new one where they 3d print the brackets specifically for your teeth um so that they 02:48:09.880 --> 02:48:15.800 don't have to like remove them and like replace them i just wanted to i just wanted to try them 02:48:16.840 --> 02:48:20.120 huh that sounds cool let me know what that is i want to try that too yeah i've never even heard 02:48:20.120 --> 02:48:25.720 of that yeah they look like the train they look like train tracks but a little more clear i guess 02:48:26.360 --> 02:48:32.680 and uh maybe i'll regret it because in visa line is a lot more there's a lot less noticeable 02:48:32.760 --> 02:48:38.120 but i don't know dude you got to get frosted tips and no it's actually more and train it's actually 02:48:38.120 --> 02:48:43.080 it's actually more expensive than in visa line but i just got dined by like a by like a couple 02:48:43.080 --> 02:48:48.120 hundred dollars or something not by like a huge amount given the total outlay um but i was just 02:48:48.120 --> 02:48:54.280 like how can i resist the 3d printed brackets you got to get a hot topic shirt ginko jeans oh my 02:48:54.360 --> 02:48:56.280 frosted tips caesar cat 02:48:57.800 --> 02:49:02.120 i have to tell you we accidentally we accidentally made like ginko cut 02:49:02.120 --> 02:49:06.440 LTT cargo pants once oh they probably would have sold those off they probably would have 02:49:06.440 --> 02:49:12.520 sold like crazy um i'll i'll wear them i'll wear them for you let's go okay all right see you again 02:49:12.520 --> 02:49:28.840 next week same bad times in that channel bye 02:49:32.680 --> 02:49:37.000 for offsite um audio is to just bring a wave 02:49:37.000 --> 02:49:43.880 we'll talk about that in a day stay on the line
