1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,480
Is anything really live, Dan?

2
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:13,840
12 seconds ago, I feel in a state of both live and unalive.

3
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:18,360
Is anything really live? Because I'm dead inside.

4
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,720
I probably should. Because it's an early 2000s emo band.

5
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,360
Crawling in my stream.

6
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,680
I can't keep up with you guys today. Videos will not render.

7
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:35,680
I can't drink right now. You're going to get me. Oh, my God.

8
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,680
Pumie.

9
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,680
So you're going to be tired, but he's still nice and narcissistic.

10
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,680
That never goes away.

11
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:54,680
I'm not even 100% sure what prompted that. I actually have no idea what's going on today.

12
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:59,080
I said, oh, God, and you said, who me?

13
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:04,680
I no longer remember what the conversation was. I'm so, dude, I am.

14
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,380
I got you. We'll be all right. Yeah. I can leave topics.

15
00:01:08,380 --> 00:01:10,680
No, no, I got this. I got this. I can read.

16
00:01:13,980 --> 00:01:18,080
Yeah. Oh, oh, thanks, Artie.

17
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:24,080
Oh, yeah, we should. Artie, do you want them on now? Are we supposed to put them on later during a call out?

18
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,080
We can have this discussion through a flow plane chat. It totally makes sense.

19
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:31,180
Yeah. Because there's a call out later for the reversible bomber jacket. I saw that.

20
00:01:31,180 --> 00:01:35,380
Dude, I'm so tired. I was honestly feeling pretty okay.

21
00:01:35,380 --> 00:01:38,480
And then I had like an hour and a half nap.

22
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,780
That is not the right amount of time to nap. The sleep drugs were released in the brain.

23
00:01:42,780 --> 00:01:46,180
Yeah. And they are, they are drugged. Yeah.

24
00:01:46,180 --> 00:01:51,080
Yeah. I honestly speaking, I probably should not have driven here.

25
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,680
Like I am. You do seem pretty tired.

26
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:59,980
There is a, there is an amount of sleep deprivation that equates to like being actually drunk.

27
00:01:59,980 --> 00:02:02,980
I don't think I'm quite there yet, but I'm, I'm definitely

28
00:02:02,980 --> 00:02:03,680
stupider.

29
00:02:06,380 --> 00:02:10,480
Like this must be what it's like to like not be very smart.

30
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:16,780
Socks? Yeah. Yeah. Man, I feel for people who are not very smart.

31
00:02:16,780 --> 00:02:20,680
Some of the like when I had COVID streams, I remember those

32
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,980
were like off. When you had like COVID brain. Yeah.

33
00:02:23,980 --> 00:02:29,580
Yep. That was tough. Everything's just like actually genuinely slow.

34
00:02:29,580 --> 00:02:33,880
Like I don't know how else to describe it. It's harder and like people are like having a conversation.

35
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,680
You're like, whoa, whoa, you've moved on, but I'm like, I'm not done with. Still processing those things.

36
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,580
What you were talking about yet. Yeah. Yeah.

37
00:02:42,380 --> 00:02:45,680
Yeah. I don't know. COVID brain at least, it felt like the processing power was

38
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,480
there. It was just extremely slow. Like that's sad.

39
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:54,680
Like we're spending all this money on like anti-aging. We should be spending money on like how to make people smarter.

40
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:59,280
Brain boost. Man. Oh, I've read the most depressing article about how

41
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,680
apparently idiocracy is like actually happening like really

42
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,780
fast right now. People are, they're like, no, you're not imagining it.

43
00:03:06,780 --> 00:03:11,580
People are like legitimately markedly dumber than they were

44
00:03:11,580 --> 00:03:17,080
like even a short period of time ago. I've heard, yeah, like just people just graduating school

45
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,980
are like very un-hireable right now. I've heard that's a huge thing.

46
00:03:20,980 --> 00:03:25,080
More rejections than ever in history for new hires.

47
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,180
Sick. Yeah. Sick.

48
00:03:28,180 --> 00:03:31,580
And like all those people hitting university who've never read a book and like all that kind of stuff.

49
00:03:31,580 --> 00:03:34,680
Like, yeah. Turns out the brain is a muscle.

50
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,480
Yeah. And if you don't exercise it, it atrophies.

51
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,680
For your entire life doesn't benefit you.

52
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,780
Anyways. New hires sound like my dating history.

53
00:03:51,780 --> 00:03:55,780
Well, I mean, that's another stat that came out that like

54
00:03:55,780 --> 00:04:01,180
current like 20-ish year olds are getting romantically rejected

55
00:04:01,180 --> 00:04:05,380
more than ever in history as well. Really? Yeah. Professionally and romantically.

56
00:04:05,380 --> 00:04:09,480
Both of them are just not working out. Well, that's going to be good for society.

57
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:10,980
What could go wrong?

58
00:04:12,980 --> 00:04:18,180
Atriach viewer. Yes, actually. So basically the incels will inherit the earth.

59
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:20,980
Blessed are the incels.

60
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,380
That's in the Bible, right? Yeah. Sure, dude. Yeah, yeah.

61
00:04:28,580 --> 00:04:32,480
Grandneb's Madness says, Hey, last week when you read about freedom cities,

62
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:37,180
you didn't read a single actual specific policy proposal. You assumed everything about it.

63
00:04:37,180 --> 00:04:43,680
You didn't find out what it actually is. No, no. But what we did was we told you what it actually will become

64
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:50,680
regardless of what anyone is saying. The only reason for any of that to exist is so that you can

65
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,280
just do awful things and not be accountable.

66
00:04:54,280 --> 00:04:58,280
That is legitimately the reason for it. Look it.

67
00:04:58,280 --> 00:05:01,280
It doesn't matter the what. What matters is the who.

68
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:03,280
Look at who is proposing it.

69
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,280
That tells you everything that you need to know. Wasn't it Peter Teal?

70
00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:09,080
Yeah.

71
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,880
Good luck everybody. There's one heck of a who.

72
00:05:16,180 --> 00:05:19,180
Yeah. All right.

73
00:05:19,180 --> 00:05:21,480
Should we just do this thing? Yeah.

74
00:05:25,580 --> 00:05:30,180
Cool. Yeah, I captured the bombs as COVID brain made me feel like

75
00:05:30,180 --> 00:05:34,680
such an idiot at work. I just couldn't remember common words used in my industry,

76
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,180
but I could describe the concept.

77
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,780
Yeah, that's rough. Mine fortunately didn't last that long, but Luke's COVID

78
00:05:42,780 --> 00:05:49,480
brain was hilarious. He was like actually an idiot for quite a while to like I

79
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:57,880
knew he was going to like become Luke again. So I was so frustrated because then I would try harder to

80
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:03,280
like fight through the fog and it just didn't work. Yeah, because he was just actually f**king stupid.

81
00:06:06,580 --> 00:06:11,180
So he's like he's just defenseless. He was like a stupid fish in his stupid barrel.

82
00:06:12,180 --> 00:06:17,580
Some of it was like genuinely oxygen deprivation. We got these little things you can put them on your thumb

83
00:06:17,580 --> 00:06:21,580
and it shows you the oxygenation of your blood. Right. Mine was just like really low.

84
00:06:22,280 --> 00:06:24,180
It's just like, oh man, that's not good.

85
00:06:26,380 --> 00:06:27,380
Oh man.

86
00:06:29,380 --> 00:06:29,880
Okay.

87
00:06:32,380 --> 00:06:38,180
All right. I couldn't finish my own sentences when I got a concussion. That's a bit of a different thing, but yeah.

88
00:06:38,380 --> 00:06:42,980
Crescions can be brutal. Yeah. No, like the COVID brain thing for both of us was we were

89
00:06:42,980 --> 00:06:44,880
just like a little bit stupid.

90
00:06:47,580 --> 00:06:48,980
Okay. Should we do this thing?

91
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,480
Okay. Someone got you.

92
00:06:55,780 --> 00:06:58,580
Linus and I quote. I didn't actually last that long.

93
00:06:59,180 --> 00:07:03,280
What? What are you talking about? You said mine didn't last that long.

94
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:07,180
You're taking advantage of my poor short memory right now. I know what I said.

95
00:07:07,180 --> 00:07:12,680
I think I think that's what I said.

96
00:07:13,380 --> 00:07:18,780
A lot of the time my memory actually is pretty poor and I just operate based on what I probably would have done or

97
00:07:18,780 --> 00:07:23,280
probably would have said and generally speaking that works pretty well for me because I'm pretty consistent.

98
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,280
It's very weird when you talk to him a lot because he'll

99
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,780
tell you the same thing like a million times because he'll forget that he's had this conversation with you in the

100
00:07:31,780 --> 00:07:35,680
past, but then if you reference a conversation that you've

101
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,980
had with him, he'll like be able to recall it decently well

102
00:07:38,980 --> 00:07:42,080
because it's probably not recall. It's like recreation.

103
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,280
So it's a way it's weird. You'll have the same conversation with him seven times,

104
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:52,680
but then he can he can like accurately defend a previous points. It's like this doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but but

105
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,080
it's it's it's real.

106
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,880
I used to like let you know when you've told me stuff before and now I often just like don't even bother.

107
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,280
It's like whatever.

108
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,280
Oh look, if nothing else, I'm consistent. Yeah.

109
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,180
Right. I'm going to press the thing now.

110
00:08:13,780 --> 00:08:17,080
Good luck today. Oh lord.

111
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,280
You gotta find my points. Resuming the selected.

112
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:30,380
Yeah.

113
00:08:51,380 --> 00:08:54,280
What is up everybody and welcome to the WAN Show.

114
00:08:54,380 --> 00:08:56,480
We got a lot of great topics for you today.

115
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,680
We'll be talking about why I'm so sleep deprived that I'm

116
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,280
basically mildly intoxicated.

117
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,480
Also be talking about.

118
00:09:13,180 --> 00:09:17,480
Ah, yes. Ah, yes. We issued a correction to one of our videos this week.

119
00:09:17,780 --> 00:09:21,080
The whole process was very efficient and made a ton of sense.

120
00:09:21,580 --> 00:09:25,880
Yeah. Also the EU says that Apple can make a portless iPhone

121
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,880
and is steam coming to Xbox?

122
00:09:29,180 --> 00:09:34,680
Really? That's what you picked. That's weird. Portless, portless iPhone and Xbox steam.

123
00:09:34,780 --> 00:09:41,780
Yeah. What would you do? I don't know. Sublimated iPhone and a portless Xbox.

124
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,480
It's going to be a show today.

125
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:57,780
I'm powerless.

126
00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:07,480
The show is brought to you today by Squarespace.

127
00:10:08,180 --> 00:10:11,280
Vessi and Thoram. Wait, what?

128
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:17,280
What is this jerky doing here? It's also brought to you by our RAP partner D brand.

129
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:23,180
Laptop partner Dell. Yes. Our laptop partner Dell and our chair partner secret lab.

130
00:10:23,180 --> 00:10:25,780
They won't tell me why the jerkies here.

131
00:10:26,380 --> 00:10:33,280
Yeah. We genuinely have no idea why that's there. It's because we're the boys and we make prank calls.

132
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,880
I don't know. It doesn't matter. It was a thing in like the early 2000s.

133
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,080
You kicked my dog. Okay. I remember the prank calls.

134
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,480
What does that have to do with jerky?

135
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,480
That's what they were called the jerky boys. Oh, okay.

136
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,080
I didn't know that. Okay. Does that warrant a bell?

137
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,380
So you get one of these.

138
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,280
Look, I've slept like five hours in the last two days.

139
00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:08,580
And I made the extremely, extremely poor choice, poor

140
00:11:08,580 --> 00:11:12,880
choices move of having a nap like an hour and a half ago.

141
00:11:13,580 --> 00:11:21,080
And so I just got back from at least three countries.

142
00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:26,380
Singapore, I think is a country, right? Yeah. I mean, in Civ, it's a city state.

143
00:11:26,980 --> 00:11:30,480
Are they countries? I love geographical knowledge coming from Civ.

144
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,680
Well, that's the, that's the only place I get it after school.

145
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:38,480
And I had a literally useless social studies teacher. So I'm just going based on what Mr.

146
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,080
Sid Meyer, Professor Meyer taught me.

147
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,880
It's a country. Wonderful. Then I was just in three countries.

148
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,080
This was probably the most hectic vacation that I've ever been on.

149
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:54,280
It was much harder work than being in office. I'm actually extremely grateful to be back at work.

150
00:11:56,980 --> 00:12:01,780
You know, how long we were gone? We were gone for, I think, 12 days or something like that.

151
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:09,680
We stayed in six different hotels. Whoa. And I was there with the whole, not, no, I mean the whole family, like my

152
00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:15,680
nuclear family, my, my sister-in-law and like her kids and everything

153
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:21,580
and my in-laws, so my wife's parents and my sister-in-law's parents.

154
00:12:23,180 --> 00:12:27,780
It's a lot of people. My children's grandparents between hotels every two days.

155
00:12:27,780 --> 00:12:32,480
And there was a lot of like family reunioning and, you know, stuff.

156
00:12:33,380 --> 00:12:37,980
And there was a lot of my wife is a bit of a type A.

157
00:12:38,180 --> 00:12:43,180
And so a lot of like, okay, today we're hitting the bird, the bird sanctuary

158
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:50,480
and then we're going to hit the something. Anyway, the, the point is that I'm going to try to tell you everywhere

159
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,480
that I stayed and I will probably get it wrong.

160
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:58,780
Got it. I already forget, but we definitely started, no, stop.

161
00:12:58,780 --> 00:13:02,480
We definitely started, we started in Bali.

162
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,380
So we started in Indonesia and that was cool.

163
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,280
I don't know. Maybe next week I'll show you guys some pictures or something. It'll be, it'll be pretty cool.

164
00:13:11,380 --> 00:13:14,380
Oh, those were awesome. Actually, yeah, yeah, sweet.

165
00:13:14,380 --> 00:13:17,380
Yeah. The bird sanctuary seemed super cool. Yeah.

166
00:13:17,380 --> 00:13:23,480
So we'll, so yeah, well, we were in Bali and then we went to Malaysia first

167
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,680
to port something, Port Dixon.

168
00:13:26,680 --> 00:13:33,480
That's right. And then we went to Kuala Lumpur and then we went to Singapore and then

169
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:39,580
we came to home. And the reason that I didn't kind of address it on WAN Show last week

170
00:13:39,580 --> 00:13:44,780
is I would strongly prefer, you know, when we're on vacation to kind of tell

171
00:13:44,780 --> 00:13:51,580
you guys that once I'm back. But I didn't really get an opportunity to not have people know

172
00:13:51,580 --> 00:13:56,180
that I was on vacation overseas with my family because it blew up on

173
00:13:56,180 --> 00:14:01,780
r slash Malaysia. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, I guess, I guess why don't I, why don't I talk about

174
00:14:01,780 --> 00:14:09,780
the, the tech mall that I went to. I have now completed more than a trifecta of sick Asian tech malls.

175
00:14:09,980 --> 00:14:15,880
So I've been to, and I'm going to butcher this. It's like waw, quang, bae or something like that.

176
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,580
I, I could have looked up what it was called again before the show.

177
00:14:19,780 --> 00:14:23,580
In fact, I may have, but I wouldn't remember it if I did.

178
00:14:23,580 --> 00:14:27,780
So whatever. The one that's in, um, oh crap.

179
00:14:27,780 --> 00:14:31,180
Wow. My brain is so bad. The, the, the, the Chinese tech. Shenzhen.

180
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,980
Yes. Thank you. Shenzhen. So I went to that one with Scotty from strange parts.

181
00:14:35,980 --> 00:14:41,380
That was really cool. I went to Simlim square in Singapore like nine years ago.

182
00:14:41,380 --> 00:14:45,180
The last time I went and visited Yvonne's family in Southeast Asia.

183
00:14:45,580 --> 00:14:51,180
Um, I went to that sick tech mall in, um, Taipei last time I was there

184
00:14:51,180 --> 00:14:58,780
in Taiwan, uh, last year. And then now I've been to, um, Plaza low yet.

185
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,280
I just remember that I was trying not to gain weight on this trip.

186
00:15:02,780 --> 00:15:07,280
And so I'm like, Oh yeah. Uh, so I picked the low, low yet Plaza.

187
00:15:07,980 --> 00:15:12,280
So like low fat, then. Oh, I thought you were.

188
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,180
Speaking of, speaking of fat, I.

189
00:15:16,380 --> 00:15:20,580
Is that a thing? Uh, sort of no yet.

190
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:25,980
Get means like, I know what that means. So you answered like a, okay.

191
00:15:25,980 --> 00:15:30,080
Anyway, the point is, uh, Plaza low yet. Um, super cool.

192
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:35,580
Um, shout out the guys at the top of the escalators that like, like try

193
00:15:35,580 --> 00:15:38,680
and make sure if you want to buy a laptop, do you want to buy a laptop?

194
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,080
Um, everyone else was super cool.

195
00:15:42,780 --> 00:15:47,680
That's so aggressive. Oh dude. They have like, what are the odds I'm here for a laptop?

196
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,780
Especially that one. There's literally everything in this place.

197
00:15:50,780 --> 00:15:55,780
You probably want to like browse a little bit. Yeah. Um, no, dude, they're, they're like, they're crazy.

198
00:15:55,780 --> 00:15:59,980
Um, yeah, but other than that, man, it was super cool.

199
00:15:59,980 --> 00:16:03,580
I, the reason that I went there was not to make a video because I was on

200
00:16:03,580 --> 00:16:08,780
vacation, but I, I happened to have one of our little audio recorder things

201
00:16:08,780 --> 00:16:14,980
with me because Elijah needed a clip of me on a beach. And I was like, well, what better place to get that than when I'm sure on

202
00:16:14,980 --> 00:16:19,280
the beach in, I guess that was in Bali when I recorded that one.

203
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,980
I think I don't know, it's kind of a blur to be honest with you.

204
00:16:22,380 --> 00:16:25,580
Um, so, so anyway, I had one of my little audio recorders and like I'm

205
00:16:25,580 --> 00:16:29,680
dailying an iPhone, so I just gave Yvonne my iPhone and we, uh, right.

206
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:37,180
That's, I had not the part of the story I was on yet. So the reason I decided to make a video was cause I needed a micro HDMI cable.

207
00:16:37,580 --> 00:16:42,980
I made the same mistake that I have made previously, bringing my ROG, uh,

208
00:16:42,980 --> 00:16:46,380
portable display for the plane to kind of set up in the middle so the kids

209
00:16:46,380 --> 00:16:53,580
can play games and, uh, it takes a micro HDMI input or a type C input, but

210
00:16:53,580 --> 00:16:59,780
because I have a first generation ally and also a switch, um, there's no way

211
00:16:59,780 --> 00:17:05,380
on either of those devices to charge that device while also outputting type C to

212
00:17:05,580 --> 00:17:11,380
the display. I couldn't output from the switch at all because I forgot a micro HDMI adapter

213
00:17:11,380 --> 00:17:15,380
cable and I didn't bring an HDMI cable at all because I assumed that my hotel

214
00:17:15,380 --> 00:17:19,080
rooms would have HDMI cables between whatever streaming box and the TV,

215
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:25,680
which actually only half of them did. So midway through the trip, I'm like, okay, I'm getting a bloody HDMI cable

216
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,080
and I'm getting that micro HDMI adapter so that we can hook the display up to

217
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:34,080
the switch or I can power my display and output from the ally at the same time.

218
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:40,080
Cause the first gen ally only has one type C. So on a new ally, you'd be able to just output to the display, power the display

219
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,580
like that and then plug in the power to the ally and then you could have

220
00:17:43,580 --> 00:17:50,380
continuous power delivery all the way through. I think cause I don't know that display is kind of funky cause I tried to power

221
00:17:50,380 --> 00:17:54,380
it and then also USB-C output into it and then my ally started going

222
00:17:55,980 --> 00:17:59,080
like it was getting into like charging mode all the time and then I had my

223
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:04,480
phone plugged into it and I was running my finger along the side of it and it was like a weird feeling.

224
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,580
I don't know. Maybe my charger wasn't grounded properly or something like that.

225
00:18:07,580 --> 00:18:12,080
Anyway, the point is, the point is I needed a cable and what better place to

226
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:17,580
go than it turns out the huge tech mall that was literally a seven minute

227
00:18:17,580 --> 00:18:22,780
walk from my hotel. So I went there and I was like, well, this will be really simple.

228
00:18:22,780 --> 00:18:25,780
I'll just find a cable. I was like, okay.

229
00:18:25,780 --> 00:18:31,680
Well, probably not just any shop. Okay. I'll go into like a camera shop cause I need micro HDMI and some cameras use

230
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,780
that awful, awful standard just for space savings and I went into one and they

231
00:18:35,780 --> 00:18:39,380
were like, oh, that'll be $40 and I was like, oh, okay.

232
00:18:39,380 --> 00:18:44,680
You mean like like local currency like, yeah, Malaysian ring it or whatever.

233
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:49,380
And they're like, oh, uh, you know, no, I know 40, 40 us dollars.

234
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,380
And I was like, excuse me for a micro HDMI cable.

235
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:59,680
You have got to be kidding me right now. Like you can get adapters for like two bucks and then like a cable for, you

236
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,580
know, five to 10 and that doesn't mean I expect to pay that at retail.

237
00:19:03,580 --> 00:19:06,680
Obviously there's, there's a convenience tax, but that was clearly

238
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,880
a foreigner tax and no, thank you.

239
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:14,480
So I, so I kind of poked around and went onto a different floor

240
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:19,880
and finally found a place that was basically like Aliexpress, but in retail

241
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:24,980
store, like they just had, you know, box of bulk cables here, box of other

242
00:19:24,980 --> 00:19:28,280
more different bulk cables there. And you could, it was, it was great.

243
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:32,580
It was like the bulk candy aisle section at the supermarket, but for, for tech.

244
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,480
Um, and then I found these other really cool stores and then I noticed

245
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:41,180
that so many of the shops had like 50 series in stock.

246
00:19:41,380 --> 00:19:46,680
Oh, even like 50 90s. Whoa. 50 70 TIs like actually like good ones.

247
00:19:46,980 --> 00:19:51,580
Uh, pricing was, uh, well, you know what, I'll, I'll save it for the video,

248
00:19:51,580 --> 00:19:54,380
but pricing was not what you would expect.

249
00:19:55,980 --> 00:19:59,380
Whatever you were expecting, probably it wasn't it.

250
00:19:59,780 --> 00:20:05,880
Uh, but like, dude, seriously, there were more 50 series and AMD 9,000

251
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:10,480
series cards in stock in that tech mall that I could probably find scouring

252
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,880
the entire North American e-tail like online inventory.

253
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:18,180
Like I kid you not, every single little hole in the wall shop had probably

254
00:20:18,180 --> 00:20:22,880
three to 10, 50 series cards and like a handful of 9,000 series.

255
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:27,680
You know what could be, I don't know if it's worthy of a full format video,

256
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:33,480
but it could be kind of interesting. Um, at Computex, like can you find GPUs in Taiwan?

257
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:38,480
Yeah, cause you can't find them in the States right now. You almost certainly could.

258
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,980
I bet you can't. So anyway, I talk a little bit about, you know, what the, what the market

259
00:20:42,980 --> 00:20:46,080
dynamics that, you know, might be at play here are.

260
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,380
Uh, one thing that I don't really touch on cause it's like unscripted and I'm

261
00:20:49,380 --> 00:20:53,580
just kind of walking around shooting little clips when I think of it. And I, and I didn't really think about it at the time.

262
00:20:53,980 --> 00:20:57,780
Um, is that it could be strategic.

263
00:20:58,180 --> 00:21:03,080
Uh, it could be that if I'm, if I'm giving the benefit of the doubt to

264
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:09,180
NVIDIA and their board partners sending a couple of GPUs to each of all

265
00:21:09,180 --> 00:21:15,180
of these retail shops, uh, limits the ability of someone like a minor or an AI

266
00:21:15,180 --> 00:21:23,980
farm or whatever to buy in bulk. It maximizes the opportunity for an individual gamer to go in and, and

267
00:21:23,980 --> 00:21:28,080
just, you know, buy a card and take it home. This is a big benefit of the doubt.

268
00:21:28,180 --> 00:21:35,560
But that's a huge benefit of the doubt thing. Um, so I, I, so I legitimately don't know, I don't know how it is.

269
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:41,580
And I like, I'm, I'm serious. I'm talking like the, the bigger shops had them, the, the more like, uh, you

270
00:21:41,580 --> 00:21:44,840
know, a Canada computers or memory express or like a, like a tiny micro

271
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:53,320
center is probably the best way that I could describe them. Those guys had them, but especially what it was the little like hole in the

272
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:59,400
wall shops, you know what I mean by that, right? Like you go by and it's basically a doorway and then like, that's it.

273
00:21:59,620 --> 00:22:03,660
It's like a long doorway, essentially a closet, just a big one.

274
00:22:03,740 --> 00:22:07,320
Kind of like the one that I bought that super high end gaming system from, uh,

275
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:12,000
back when we did that Taiwan video, uh, like it, uh, and they'll, they'll just

276
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:17,900
have a bunch of them on the shelf. I'm like, yo, are those boxes? They're like, yeah, I'm like, right, but like, are they just boxes?

277
00:22:17,900 --> 00:22:21,060
They're like, no, stuff in them. I'm like, Oh yeah. Okay.

278
00:22:21,340 --> 00:22:23,820
Like what? You got to be kidding me. Right.

279
00:22:24,340 --> 00:22:28,040
That is pretty wild. Yeah. So I'd, so then, so then there was that.

280
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:32,640
And then I was kind of going, well, okay. Yeah. This is probably a video at this point.

281
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:37,280
Cause then I also needed my, uh, I wanted a switch doc, but not like, you

282
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:41,400
know, the big chunky first party doc. Cause I brought a doc with me.

283
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,920
Doc like actually sucks. Yeah. I brought a doc with me, but it wasn't working.

284
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:50,040
And I, I, I have two docs at home that I bought off like AliExpress or something

285
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,780
and one of them works and one of them doesn't. And I gambled and I lost the one that didn't work.

286
00:22:54,780 --> 00:23:00,000
And I don't know, it probably worked at some point. Like it probably worked with the non OLED version or something.

287
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,540
I don't know, but the point is I tried it on the trip. It wasn't working.

288
00:23:03,540 --> 00:23:08,880
I was like, ah, crap. I grabbed the wrong one. So I also needed one of those, but I didn't want like the bulky first party doc.

289
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,920
I wanted just like a little, a little sleek cable style doc.

290
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,820
And so I, when I was there just getting the cable or looking for the cable, I

291
00:23:16,820 --> 00:23:20,600
just didn't bother buying that. And I was like, okay, I'm just going to leave and then I'll come back tomorrow

292
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:26,800
with Yvonne and we'll make a video. It was, it was actually really fun, um, but it completely blew my cover

293
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,980
because while I got in and out of there with like two selfies, uh, the first

294
00:23:30,980 --> 00:23:35,180
day when I was just like kind of scouting it out and determining that, oh yeah,

295
00:23:35,180 --> 00:23:37,860
no, this is like definitely a video. I should just come back with Yvonne.

296
00:23:38,180 --> 00:23:45,140
Uh, the second time around, I think, I think the r slash Malaysia post has

297
00:23:45,140 --> 00:23:50,460
people replying to the top post with their own, with their own selfies.

298
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,240
Uh, like it was, it was kind of, it was kind of hilarious. It was really fun.

299
00:23:54,240 --> 00:24:01,320
The, the vibe in there was really good. If you ever find yourself in, uh, KL, uh, definitely stop by whether

300
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,280
you need to buy anything or not. Cause it's an experience.

301
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:11,000
Is this the one that you're talking about? Oh, so that's the one that I ultimately got the decent deal on my micro HDMI

302
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,920
and my HDMI cable. I just love the not a thief.

303
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:21,980
Okay. I have been given some context for this. Well, I'm assuming the security camera footage of a store or the apparently

304
00:24:21,980 --> 00:24:28,380
that's like a big thing in this mall is people publicly shaming shoplifters

305
00:24:28,380 --> 00:24:35,700
with the security camera footage in their stores. So, uh, that guy got a, a completely different selfie with me that I don't

306
00:24:35,700 --> 00:24:42,820
think he posted it steady, but for the CCTV footage of me buying a cable.

307
00:24:43,860 --> 00:24:46,780
I had to clarify that you weren't a thief, but he was the owner, the

308
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:53,560
manager of that store or something like that. And, uh, and, and he, he did talk to me, he didn't, he didn't talk to me

309
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,120
about posting the selfie, but he did talk to me about taking it.

310
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:02,880
Uh, and then he posted the CCTV footage. I'm glad he did say not a thief because, you know, the kinds of assumptions

311
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,000
people make about me these days, they may very well have gotten there with it.

312
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,720
I would have thought you stole. Oh, a hundred percent. A hundred percent.

313
00:25:09,120 --> 00:25:14,400
I actually, I actually ended up double buying because I, because I actually, I

314
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,780
bought the micro HDMI cable the first day because that was like the first thing I

315
00:25:17,780 --> 00:25:21,900
did when I walked in, while I was still just buying a cable and not making a video.

316
00:25:22,220 --> 00:25:28,020
And then I was like, well, I don't know if anyone actually recognized me the

317
00:25:28,020 --> 00:25:31,580
first day because like I was, I was pretty much in and out of them all.

318
00:25:31,860 --> 00:25:35,140
Um, so the second day I go back and I'm just like, okay, this is the one

319
00:25:35,140 --> 00:25:38,060
part of it that I have to do a quick, quick little reenact of.

320
00:25:38,460 --> 00:25:41,940
Uh, and I was like, oh, well, I'm not going to like waste their time, like

321
00:25:41,940 --> 00:25:45,960
go in, like ask them questions again about where things are and then like

322
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,520
not buy their cables. So I'm, so I bought, so I bought the cable again.

323
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:54,280
Anyway, the, the manager didn't talk to me until the end of the day when I'd already gone all the way to the top of the mall and then come back.

324
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,280
And, uh, and he was like, he was trying to give me something and I, I, I don't

325
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:03,600
really like taking stuff. I mean, you've, you've seen, you've seen my conversations with people about swag.

326
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:10,480
I just, it's, it's not even just like, it's, it's not like an ethical thing.

327
00:26:10,540 --> 00:26:14,580
Like I think that somehow I will, I can be bought for, you know, six dollars

328
00:26:14,580 --> 00:26:19,900
worth of chocolates or whatever. It's just that I actually just do not want more things.

329
00:26:19,980 --> 00:26:24,580
Um, like I have this conversation with everyone from friends to family, to

330
00:26:24,620 --> 00:26:29,580
industry, um, contacts where I'm just like, look, I'm at a stage in my life

331
00:26:29,580 --> 00:26:33,580
where if I want something, I can buy it pretty much regardless of what it is.

332
00:26:33,660 --> 00:26:39,100
So if I don't own it, I promise you 100% it is because I don't want it.

333
00:26:39,100 --> 00:26:43,080
Yeah. Um, is this the one you're talking about? Uh, no, no, okay.

334
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,200
No, that's just a completely different one. Is it a different story even?

335
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,080
Yeah, I love the guy over my shoulder.

336
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,440
I didn't even notice him when we were taking the picture. I didn't see that the first time.

337
00:26:55,520 --> 00:27:01,640
Oh, it's great. No, that's a completely different store. Okay. Yeah. Um, I no longer remember what I was talking about.

338
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,080
So that's going to have to be kind of your job today because I don't have

339
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:11,940
RAM keep it on track. No, no, no, no, no, that, that's fine. And just if you, if you do interrupt, which is totally fine, cause you know,

340
00:27:12,860 --> 00:27:17,540
you know, taste of own medicine, um, just, you're going to have to tell me what

341
00:27:17,540 --> 00:27:21,180
I was talking about before. So you, you had to buy the cable again.

342
00:27:21,380 --> 00:27:27,660
Uh, you went upstairs back downstairs. He came up to me after and I was like, Hey, uh, so yeah, not only do I not want

343
00:27:27,660 --> 00:27:32,660
the things you're offering me, but you can actually have this micro HDMI adapter

344
00:27:32,660 --> 00:27:38,920
and this HDMI cable back because I really don't need it. I only needed the one and he's like, Oh, no, no, I can give you a refund.

345
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,480
I'm like, no, no, that's too, that's too much work. No, I'll just buy the cable.

346
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,680
Thank you for having a reasonable price. I'm not trying to charge me a white guy tax.

347
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:55,000
Yeah. So that was, that was great. I don't actually remember what all I wanted to say about shopping at the tech

348
00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:03,080
mall and this is my only notes in the doc. So just in case you forget your own name.

349
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,980
Yeah. I thought about going back to Simlim square, but then I, because we were in

350
00:28:06,980 --> 00:28:15,140
Singapore again, but I, I didn't have a reason. Like that's what I kind of like about these videos is other than the one.

351
00:28:15,180 --> 00:28:18,260
Okay. Half of them anyway are me just needing something.

352
00:28:18,740 --> 00:28:23,540
Um, and then the other ones I have contrived some mission, like in Shenzhen,

353
00:28:23,820 --> 00:28:29,100
I wanted to, you know, build a PC, a gaming PC and see if I could get a

354
00:28:29,100 --> 00:28:34,160
better deal in the like tech hub of China. Um, so that was like, that was a legitimate objective.

355
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,240
Even if I didn't really need a computer, I don't even remember what we did with the computer.

356
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:42,000
We give it away or something. I think you gave it to his editor or something.

357
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,960
Oh yeah. That makes pretty sure. Okay. It's a long time ago, but I think that's what happened.

358
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:51,480
And then in, in Taiwan, it was just inspired by like Jake's random picture of

359
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:56,040
this like random nondescript shop that just for whatever reason had a ball and

360
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,900
gaming PC turns out, it's cause they just like make ball and gaming PCs.

361
00:28:59,900 --> 00:29:03,820
So that's super cool. Um, but then the one in Singapore was just cause I was staying with people who

362
00:29:03,820 --> 00:29:11,340
had awful Wi-Fi and I just wanted to fix it. And then the one at Plaza Luiat was just because I forgot some stuff and I like

363
00:29:11,340 --> 00:29:18,380
need to detect men. I wish we had places like that here. Like is there anywhere that you could go in person where you could

364
00:29:18,380 --> 00:29:24,820
possibly hope to find a micro HDMI adapter that you can think of off the top of your head.

365
00:29:31,740 --> 00:29:34,660
It probably exists. Memory Express might have one to be clear.

366
00:29:34,820 --> 00:29:39,940
Maybe check the stock online before you go. Yeah, they might. I wouldn't feel confident, but, but I might.

367
00:29:40,580 --> 00:29:45,460
And an off brand switch adapter.

368
00:29:46,020 --> 00:29:50,340
Oh yeah. So no shot. So probably no shot and a 50 series.

369
00:29:50,740 --> 00:29:56,020
Yeah. Okay. Now I just eliminated every, every retail staples.

370
00:29:56,060 --> 00:30:00,320
I don't think so. Oh, that'd be a real long shot. But yeah, like that's the thing, man.

371
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,240
It's so cool. It's like six stories, dude.

372
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:13,280
It's like six floors of mostly just tech. The very bottom floor has like some jewelry and clothing, like boots and stuff.

373
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:19,080
Uh, but also, also tech shops. And while there are definitely things about it that I think are a little weird,

374
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:25,280
like they had more than one like HP branded store, like just a dedicated HP store.

375
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,400
They had more than one, like ROG branded store.

376
00:30:28,460 --> 00:30:33,580
And I'm kind of sitting here going, you know, is tech really Starbucks?

377
00:30:33,980 --> 00:30:38,820
You know, we're just the more, because you know, about the Starbucks effect or

378
00:30:38,820 --> 00:30:44,220
whatever, right? Where if they put two Starbucks on like opposite corners at the same

379
00:30:44,220 --> 00:30:48,580
intersection, they don't cannibalize each other. They just like sell twice as many or whatever.

380
00:30:49,700 --> 00:30:55,980
That cannot possibly work for laptops. Like a laptop is not a, it's not an impulse purchase, right?

381
00:30:57,020 --> 00:31:01,880
Am I missing something here? Maybe it is cause there's those guys like flapping laptops in your face as you

382
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,840
go up the escalator. So maybe, maybe if you are just impulse buying laptops.

383
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:10,160
Oh my God. I don't know. Chat wants a not a thief shirt.

384
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,600
That's actually brilliant. We should definitely do a not a thief shirt.

385
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:19,360
Pretty funny. Uh, okay. Dan, do you mind forwarding that over to the CW team, please?

386
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:23,680
Righto. Should it be like, should it be you in that security picture?

387
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:24,840
I'm trying to bring it up again.

388
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,560
I'm sure you, I'm sure you'll find it and that will be.

389
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:38,960
It's not that amazing. I mean, if it's a big zoom in, I kind of look like a thief.

390
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,600
Just, it's just that on a shirt.

391
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,080
Not a thief shirt with a fake security tag still attached. That's kind of funny.

392
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,000
Oh man. Um, oh man.

393
00:31:57,020 --> 00:32:00,180
Yeah, we could even just like print a little like one of those like old

394
00:32:00,180 --> 00:32:03,860
school, like bar style ones or something like that. That'd be pretty funny.

395
00:32:04,220 --> 00:32:09,340
Why don't we move on to our next topic? Dan, you're going to have to be like on the little paper things today

396
00:32:09,340 --> 00:32:13,620
because I got, I have no idea what's going on. I don't even know why there's jerky on my table.

397
00:32:13,620 --> 00:32:17,220
You're allowed to eat it. You can eat the jerky. I'm allowed to eat the jerky. Absolutely.

398
00:32:17,700 --> 00:32:21,380
Okay. My stomach is actually feeling a little unsettled right now.

399
00:32:21,380 --> 00:32:26,380
So I might have to eat jerky a little bit later. My body has no idea what's going on.

400
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:32,640
I different countries. Yeah. I, I dude with, with airplane food thrown in the mix.

401
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:38,040
Uh, no, actually, I didn't eat at all on the flight and it's like 13 hours.

402
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,880
Um, so I, and then I got home and I ate pretty light cause I was

403
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,720
feeling a little unsettled and I think it's because of what I ate right

404
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:51,160
before I got on the flight. I had a subway sandwich, which normally I'm fine with.

405
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:58,700
I, I, I like happy Gilmore. I, the trailer for happy Gilmore too looks f***ing awful.

406
00:32:58,740 --> 00:33:04,260
Like completely soulless, but, but you know, happy told me that the delicious

407
00:33:04,260 --> 00:33:09,660
cold cut com honestly better spokesman than Jared far, far less, far less pedophilia.

408
00:33:10,140 --> 00:33:13,500
So shout out happy Gilmore subway spokesman. Happy Gilmore.

409
00:33:13,860 --> 00:33:17,500
I prefer my sandwiches with no pedophilia. Yes. Yeah. Me too.

410
00:33:17,580 --> 00:33:20,700
Me too. Generally a good way to go. Um, ask for that in the store, you know.

411
00:33:20,820 --> 00:33:28,000
Oh, okay. Yeah. That's good to know. That's good. That's good. The point is that, that I'm trying to make right now is that whether it was a

412
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:33,080
language barrier or whether it was an ingredients availability barrier, um,

413
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,920
they made it with processed cheese when I explicitly asked for cheddar and

414
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:43,280
processed cheese is not food. Um, my body does not believe that it is food.

415
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:49,200
And because I was so hungry, I ate a six inch, uh, like I ate half of that

416
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:53,160
processed cheese sandwich and, uh, my body is in rebellion.

417
00:33:53,420 --> 00:33:57,680
No, that happens. Um, my, yeah, my stomach is not impressed with me making that decision to

418
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:05,360
continue eating it after the first bite. And so I am unsettled still, like 18, 19 hours later or whatever.

419
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,080
Uh, but I will definitely, I will definitely have some jerky later.

420
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,080
And I'm really looking forward to it.

421
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:19,640
Someone's apparently watching the show on a plane. That's, dude, you can get pretty like decent streaming internet.

422
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,740
That's so crazy to me. Yeah. I like, I, I believe them, but it's so crazy to me.

423
00:34:23,740 --> 00:34:28,020
I remember, um, I remember just as a test, I load up some game.

424
00:34:28,020 --> 00:34:35,540
I don't remember what it was. Um, and I had on some plane, like years ago, I had 3000 ping and the game

425
00:34:35,540 --> 00:34:40,220
functioned perfectly fine, but just everything was like so delayed.

426
00:34:41,220 --> 00:34:50,180
I just wanted to see what happened. Uh, no, I don't, I don't think so because like, um, it was like too much.

427
00:34:50,180 --> 00:34:54,840
I was just actually so bad that it just nothing, like it, I don't know.

428
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,600
Oh, do people not know what, uh, process cheeses?

429
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:05,840
Dude, did I talk about this on WAN Show? The experience I had in like a, a separate, I do, I've been traveling

430
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:11,840
the last three weekend, four weekends in a row. I am like actually traveled out right now.

431
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:18,480
Um, yeah, went to Disneyland for the work thing, went to Texas for the, uh,

432
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:24,380
gamer house tour thing. And then the last two weeks I was over in Asia and six different hotels for two weeks.

433
00:35:24,780 --> 00:35:29,540
Um, like I am super traveled out, but did I, did I talk about my experience

434
00:35:29,540 --> 00:35:33,180
at the airport on the WAN Show where I was like trying to order a burger.

435
00:35:33,180 --> 00:35:36,660
And I asked if the burger had processed cheese and they're like, it's American cheese.

436
00:35:36,660 --> 00:35:43,700
And I'm like, that doesn't mean anything to me. American cheese is like, I've heard American cheese used to describe cheddar cheese.

437
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:48,720
It's kind of like freedom fries, like just American cheese. Like, yeah, that, that, that's utterly meaningless to me.

438
00:35:48,720 --> 00:35:54,080
American cheese is actually a specific thing. Um, I think it, I think it means process cheese, but I think sometimes

439
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:58,640
people use it for too many things. Yeah. No, I've, I've definitely processed cheddar.

440
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:03,040
Yeah. American cheese is a type of processed cheddar cheese made from cheddar, Colby,

441
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:10,600
or similar cheeses in conjunction with other stuff. Also, you should not be allowed that the content of your cheese should have

442
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,400
to be greater than 90% cheese for you to call it cheese.

443
00:36:14,620 --> 00:36:18,420
American cheese is just petroleum byproduct as far as I can tell.

444
00:36:18,460 --> 00:36:25,620
I think they can't call it cheese. I think it has to be like processed, uh, milk product or something.

445
00:36:25,620 --> 00:36:29,740
American cheese has a whole very, actually very specific history behind it

446
00:36:29,780 --> 00:36:33,140
where they were like trying to save farmers and they, they stored them in

447
00:36:33,140 --> 00:36:39,020
these like cheese caves and it's all, it's all, it's weird.

448
00:36:39,100 --> 00:36:42,540
Anyway, the point that I'm trying to get to is that the, the lady behind

449
00:36:42,540 --> 00:36:45,080
the counter had no idea what I was talking about.

450
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:49,480
I was like, is it like cheddar cheese or is it like processed cheese?

451
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:53,440
Like, is it real cheese? She's like, it's American cheese. And I'm like, okay, right.

452
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:57,960
But is it, is it real cheese? I'll have to check with the chef.

453
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,280
And I'm like, you're at a burger joint. There isn't a chef.

454
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,700
Like it was a, it was like a fast food chain. I was like, what are you talking about?

455
00:37:05,700 --> 00:37:09,000
And I just, I just want to know if you're putting real food in the food.

456
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:14,480
Um, yeah. No, it's, it's, it's horrible.

457
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,320
Apparently by law, it's labeled as cheese product.

458
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,200
Yeah. Well, a lot of places definitely don't do that.

459
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:28,200
They, they definitely call it cheese. I'm just saying by law, that's apparently the label that they have for

460
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:32,680
it is, they don't just call it cheese. Cause it doesn't contain enough cheese to beat cheese.

461
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,600
It has to have 51% cheese.

462
00:37:36,720 --> 00:37:39,200
Disgusting. All right. What do you want to do for our next topic?

463
00:37:40,020 --> 00:37:44,460
We have a lot of topics today. It's actually going to be like a very long show.

464
00:37:44,460 --> 00:37:50,300
Should we knock out the other main one? Mark Rober. I don't think anything really differentiates a main from another topic today.

465
00:37:50,740 --> 00:37:54,780
Yeah. So we can do whatever you want in that case. Let's do one of mine.

466
00:37:54,780 --> 00:37:58,700
The EU says Apple can make a portless iPhone. Let's go over the weekend.

467
00:37:58,700 --> 00:38:02,700
We learned that Apple considered removing the USB-C port from its upcoming

468
00:38:02,700 --> 00:38:08,380
iPhone air 17, but ultimately decided against the move in past due to concerns

469
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:13,640
in part due to concerns about using might be tired, but he's still beating

470
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:21,240
my dyslexia brain slow, but accurate due to due to concerns about how EU

471
00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:28,280
regulators would review the move. Apple was forced to switch out of their proprietary lightning port for USB-C to

472
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:34,920
comply with the EU's common charger directive. They won't admit that Apple talks about, it's, it's amazing watching how

473
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,240
quickly environmentally friendly thing or how quickly Apple changed their

474
00:38:38,260 --> 00:38:42,140
tune about how they innovated USB-C on the iPhone.

475
00:38:42,140 --> 00:38:46,980
It's like, brother enough to stop in an article on nine to five.

476
00:38:46,980 --> 00:38:51,980
Max, uh, Ben Lovejoy points out that the common charger directive only

477
00:38:51,980 --> 00:38:56,060
states that if a device has a wired charging port, it must be USB-C.

478
00:38:56,540 --> 00:39:02,660
European commission press officer Federica McCauley confirmed that a

479
00:39:02,660 --> 00:39:06,580
portless phone would be compliant with the law, noting that since such

480
00:39:06,580 --> 00:39:10,480
a radio equipment cannot be recharged via wired charging, it does not need

481
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,960
to incorporate the harmonized wired charging solution.

482
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:22,480
Crazy. Wow. So we will probably get a courageously portless iPhone at some point in

483
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:28,600
the nearest future. And you know what? Honestly, I think I'm kind of here for it.

484
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:34,240
Um, it's not what I would happen eventually. Yeah. It's not what I would choose to buy, you know, given the choice.

485
00:39:34,380 --> 00:39:38,140
I would prefer to have something that does have a wired port, but there's

486
00:39:38,140 --> 00:39:42,060
always the option of just, you know, buying the pro model or not buying an

487
00:39:42,060 --> 00:39:51,780
iPhone, both of which are totally valid options. Also my response to this sort of hinges on the existence of sort of all three

488
00:39:51,780 --> 00:39:58,180
options in the market. So the air, which doesn't seem like it's going to replace the regular

489
00:39:58,180 --> 00:40:02,860
iPhone, the regular iPhone, and then also the pro.

490
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:06,340
So I would assume you're going to have kind of your portless one, your USB

491
00:40:06,340 --> 00:40:11,400
to one with a port. So you can actually charge via a cable, but data transfer is slow.

492
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:15,700
And then your, you know, professional model that just has a proper USB port on it.

493
00:40:16,100 --> 00:40:20,920
Um, I don't, I don't love how much Apple charges for these more, you know,

494
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:25,840
premium versions of their products, but seeing the way that most people use

495
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:30,840
their phones these days, um, especially iPhone users who are just like Meg safe.

496
00:40:30,980 --> 00:40:36,740
Like, why would anyone live without Meg safe? It's just so obvious and they, they wirelessly charge all the time.

497
00:40:36,980 --> 00:40:40,740
Uh, I could absolutely see iPhone users just saying, yeah, no, I want, I want the

498
00:40:40,740 --> 00:40:44,620
air and man, I got to tell you, I think, I think I was talking about this

499
00:40:44,620 --> 00:40:49,660
on my intro recently. I picked up my iPhone six S recently, like just literally picked it up.

500
00:40:49,660 --> 00:40:54,120
Like I picked it up out of the drawer that I keep it in. And I was like, man, that's light.

501
00:40:54,660 --> 00:40:58,680
You know, even my note nine compared to like every modern device that I've

502
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:02,340
unboxed on ShortCircuit recently, it's like, man, this is sleek.

503
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,560
Like devices have, they've gone non-sleek.

504
00:41:06,060 --> 00:41:11,060
And if Apple kind of brings that back as a trend now that SOCs have gotten

505
00:41:11,060 --> 00:41:14,160
a little bit more efficient now that battery technology has improved a little

506
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:18,560
bit, maybe, maybe I'm here for it. I, cause I don't need two day battery.

507
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,480
I just need solid one day battery.

508
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:28,280
Uh, with that said, man, I got to say spoiler, the one spoiler that I'll

509
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:35,900
give you guys for the switching to Mac for a month, um, is not thinking

510
00:41:35,900 --> 00:41:38,480
about charging either of my devices.

511
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:46,120
It's crazy. Like, dude, I, um, I've been using this since I left Singapore.

512
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:54,160
I don't know, a thousand hours ago or whatever. I used it extensively on the plane to, to like listen to, um, listen to

513
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:59,440
something in my headphones. I just, you know, drown out crying babies and stuff like that on the plane.

514
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:07,320
Um, let's compare. I, I, I got down to like 2% before I had my, my post-plane, you know,

515
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:12,680
bath and then I basically plugged it in while I was in my nap and while I

516
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:14,240
was having a nap in my bed.

517
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:23,960
Comparatively form a coherent sentence. And then I plugged into my car and my way here, I have 77% and it's just like,

518
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:28,520
so you've done all that. I have practically not used my phone today at all.

519
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:38,240
No calls, no video. Yeah. And for probably like 15 minutes of intentional screen on usage time, where

520
00:42:38,240 --> 00:42:42,360
I was just in text messaging apps, like teams or Slack or whatever else.

521
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:51,920
That's it. My phone's at 82. I very occasionally, I very, very occasionally will have this behave like

522
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:57,200
an Android, uh, where it'll get like really hot or for some reason that I

523
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:00,440
can't really identify and, and like behave strangely.

524
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,640
Like I've had a lot of weird bugs on with iOS 18.

525
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:11,760
I'm not pleased with the software. Um, but not nearly to the same degree that I have with Android.

526
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:15,080
My brightness is at like 70%. Okay. It was like turned brightness down.

527
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:23,920
So here we go. I have 17 hours and 31 minutes of screen on time because Plex, I don't think

528
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:31,920
supports or I don't have it enabled. Maybe it does support it, but Plex doesn't support, um, screen off background play.

529
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:37,120
So if I'm just like, one of my sleep strategies is I listen to reruns of shows

530
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,560
that I've watched a hundred times. So I don't, I don't need to see anything.

531
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:48,080
I'm not actually looking at my screen. I'm just like listening to this content that is fine, but it's just repetitive.

532
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:51,800
It's, it's boring and it drowns out people talking much more effectively

533
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:59,280
than, um, like white noise for me. And then the other thing is that music will keep me awake 100%.

534
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:04,320
I cannot listen to music and sleep. So, so TV shows are my go-to for when I'm trying to sleep.

535
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,760
So yeah, so you can see here, actually I've got my, my battery thing.

536
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:12,680
I have since, yeah, it has no idea what time is for me.

537
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:19,560
So since about six AM, uh, of the previous day, I guess, you know,

538
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:25,760
six PM of yesterday, I have 17 hours and 31 minutes of screen time,

539
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:31,600
a bunch of Plex, a bunch of YouTube, a bunch of 18% of my activity is no

540
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:40,320
cell coverage, whatever that means. Um, 11% is Safari, but like that's freaking, I think that's your, your cell radio

541
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,800
searching for towers, which takes a lot of battery to turn that off.

542
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:48,760
So yeah, that should give you some idea. And then I only have like a couple hours of it since I, since I zapped it.

543
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:53,200
So like even me being like irresponsible with my phone and not, you know,

544
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:58,400
properly turning off radios to conserve power, like I can get like 16 hours of

545
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:02,000
screen time on it or whatever. I never use my phone that heavily.

546
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:06,040
So I think I, I said in my switched to iPhone video, I basically didn't charge

547
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:10,400
my phone sometimes for a week at a time because I would just plug it into my

548
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:17,000
car when I'm, when I'm using carpet, you don't have to. It supports wireless car play as does my car, but it's just a habit that I have.

549
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:20,320
Um, and it, and it meant that I never had to think about charging my phone

550
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,960
cause I would just. Regardless of usage, if I don't charge my phone overnight, I'm screwed.

551
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:27,160
Oh yeah. A hundred percent. Completely. I just checked mine.

552
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:32,080
Um, I had more screen time than I thought. I had 25 minutes in Slack.

553
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:38,160
I had 10 minutes in teams and I had two minutes on authenticator. I think the reason why there's more screen time is I just put my phone down,

554
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,280
but that also means that after a minute or whatever it dimmed.

555
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:45,640
Yeah. So I, I, cause I guarantee you I wasn't actually using Slack for half an hour on

556
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,760
my phone. Um, so, and that's all it was.

557
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:54,840
And I've already almost lost 20% of my battery life. So like, it's almost like knowing Luke is phones probably from, from 2016.

558
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:58,800
It's not brand new, but it's an eight pro. It's not that old.

559
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,080
Yeah. Pixel pixel. Yeah. Yeah.

560
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:05,520
Um, and like, man, my laptop is sitting here.

561
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:12,800
Right. It, I started the show with like more, less than I think, less than half my battery.

562
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,800
And it's just sitting here in case I need to use it and screens on.

563
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,320
It's just chilling. I know it's going to last the entire show.

564
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:25,120
Like if there's, if there's anything that I love about just these Apple devices,

565
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,840
it's that the battery management is just plain superior.

566
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,960
And yeah.

567
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:40,520
Windows and, uh, Android devices absolutely can benchmark similarly to Apple,

568
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:45,600
but from my experience in the real world, once you've actually, once you're not in

569
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:49,280
a controlled environment, doing like a battery test, right?

570
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:55,400
They just don't handle it as well. They just don't manage background tasks as well.

571
00:46:55,560 --> 00:47:00,080
They're not as aggressive. And so once you've got them, once you've got your device loaded up with apps,

572
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,920
once you're actually kind of using it, once you have notifications coming in,

573
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,840
they just don't handle it as consistently.

574
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:12,320
Um, all right, bring back replaceable battery says crappy TP.

575
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,560
I mean, that's not even, that's not even the issue that I'm talking about here.

576
00:47:16,240 --> 00:47:21,920
Um, yeah. Arguin says just checking Mr. Who's the boss did iPhone 16 versus S24 Ultra test Samsung one.

577
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:29,080
Yeah. There's a couple, a couple of things to consider there. One is that that S24 Ultra probably has an internal battery that's like double

578
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:34,120
the capacity of the iPhone. It's remarkable how efficient these things are, how little battery Apple has

579
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:37,480
to put in these, how little RAM they have to put in them, what Apple will do in

580
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,280
their software to minimize the bomb cost of the hardware.

581
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,800
Um, and then the other thing is that he probably did that in a controlled

582
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:47,200
environment where both phones were wiped fresh and then, and then tested

583
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,960
because that's the like, and that's not even the wrong thing to do.

584
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:54,000
That's the right thing to do when you are testing something is you, you

585
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:59,480
eliminate variables. And so because there's no way to just take two phones that have been, you

586
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:04,320
know, used for two weeks and say with confidence that they're in the same

587
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:06,480
equal state, that's how you do it.

588
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:14,320
Um, argument says that's fair. Didn't consider the size of the battery, but you shouldn't.

589
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:18,560
I'm, to be clear, I'm not making an argument that the test is like somehow

590
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:22,200
unfair because Apple had less battery. This is the device that Apple chose to ship.

591
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:28,520
So the test is 100% fair. That's like, if I were saying that, that would be like one of those arguments

592
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:33,080
where, uh, you know, people will complain when you do like a CPU review that

593
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:38,760
like, well, you're comparing against the brand that I likes last generation.

594
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,880
So you have to wait until their new one comes out before you get shut up.

595
00:48:42,720 --> 00:48:47,640
No, I don't, because for someone buying something today, some hypothetical

596
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:51,720
future thing that exists doesn't exist yet. So this is, this is what it is.

597
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:57,800
Um, but man, I don't see that argument as much anymore, but back in like the

598
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:06,040
peak, I think AMD Intel fanboy days of probably like the mid two thousands, it

599
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:11,760
was all over the place and it was just exhausting, just exhausting hearing

600
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:15,440
people talk about how the test was unfair to their brand of choice.

601
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:19,680
Like, good Lord, they're not a sports team. You do not need to cheer for them.

602
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:25,720
They're a corporation for that matter, sports teams are corporations and you don't really need to cheer for them either, but that's a whole and often used

603
00:49:25,720 --> 00:49:28,680
for like really shady money practices.

604
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:32,600
What? I don't, I don't know, I don't know much about this, so you don't have to

605
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:37,640
pay taxes and all this other crazy stuff. Like why do all these rich people buy sports teams?

606
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:41,560
I actually all care about sports and then yeah, a lot of it has to do with

607
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:43,880
like, um, hiding from taxes and stuff.

608
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:49,520
I don't remember exactly how all the loopholes work, but there's like big financial loopholes with having a sports team.

609
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,160
Why is everything a tax avoidance grift? Yeah.

610
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:57,000
That's not an answer. Yeah. I pay my taxes.

611
00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:01,240
Yeah. Everyone should have to pay their taxes if I have to pay mine.

612
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:02,480
Yeah, you'd think.

613
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:09,600
Okay. It's very cool.

614
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:14,680
What? Seriously? People are like, yeah, don't people are like, yeah, this is like a thing.

615
00:50:14,720 --> 00:50:18,280
Oh, it's totally a thing. Yeah. What the heck?

616
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:25,400
Yep. Because something about like the depreciation, like so that a lot of the

617
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:28,640
assets actually get paid for effectively by the city because the city wants

618
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:33,920
the sports team. Oh yeah, that I know. But then all the assets that you own technically, even though they're

619
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:37,360
effectively funded by the city are depreciating all the time.

620
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:42,200
So you can write the depreciation of this like enormous stadium and all these

621
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:45,160
other things down on the rest of your taxes.

622
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:49,400
Um, but then the stadium keeps getting funded by the city.

623
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:56,920
So it ends up being this like, as long as you're making money elsewhere, it's this like incredibly profitable because of tax loophole thing.

624
00:50:58,240 --> 00:51:03,720
I think that's how it works. It's been a while since I looked at it. No, I remember reading a fair bit about that when the, when the Phoenix

625
00:51:03,720 --> 00:51:10,560
coyotes like couldn't get something, something, the city was mad because,

626
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:16,080
um, because of that, because they basically like paid for this thing and got

627
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:20,360
absolutely no return on it or whatever. And they were talking about moving the team or something and it was a whole,

628
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:27,240
it was a whole thing. So yeah, basically owners will just hold the team hostage unless cities

629
00:51:27,240 --> 00:51:32,240
acquiesce to their demands. And I remember it compounds too, because like the players are all aging.

630
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:36,080
So I think you can like write that down to a certain degree as well.

631
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:40,720
I remember reading an article about how like not once in the history of these

632
00:51:40,720 --> 00:51:47,240
deals has a, has a city ever actually been able to show a clear return on the

633
00:51:47,240 --> 00:51:52,800
investment that they've made into sports teams. With that said, I don't know, I do think there is a return.

634
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:56,640
Yeah, I, I don't, I don't know that you could easily measure that because

635
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:00,680
there's a clear expectation that if you're like a proper North American

636
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:05,040
city, you like have a big arena and you have a sports team and you absolutely

637
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:11,040
use that arena for other things. But then my understanding is that the owner of the arena, which tends to be

638
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:14,560
that private company benefits from the other things it gets used for, like

639
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:19,160
concerts or whatever else, but like, so, man, see, that's the thing is it's

640
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:24,160
hard to assign a value to like arts and culture and, you know, to having,

641
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:27,840
having prominent artists come to, you know, your city.

642
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:32,000
Yeah, apparently, yeah, the, the, the value of the players reduce and you

643
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:38,040
write that off on taxes as well. Yeah, I thought so. So it's like, it's the stadium and all of your assets and all of your players

644
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:41,920
and like literally everything that you have just constantly depreciates in value.

645
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:45,040
So you write that all off and then it gets all funded by the city.

646
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:49,680
So you're not even, of course, you're paying for some of it, but you're not even paying for like a lot of it anyways.

647
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:54,800
And then it's like it itself is not always, but sometimes a cash cow.

648
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:59,080
So you just make money off it too and then write it all off. And it's just, yeah.

649
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:03,200
Meanwhile, it takes me like months to even just get a building permit to put

650
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:10,400
in our bad victim center. Yeah, it's pretty sick. Oh yeah. I should probably provide a little bit more clarity on the, the conversation

651
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:17,000
last week about fire egress. I had some people very mad at me because I apparently don't respect the

652
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:23,080
importance of fire egress. I did not give every possible detail of the situation.

653
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:29,880
Let me just put it this way. I do understand not because I just understand, but because this has been a

654
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:34,920
project on my list of projects for over a year and a half.

655
00:53:35,240 --> 00:53:40,880
And as part of it being a project, I spoke to experts and consultants.

656
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:45,760
And guys, chill.

657
00:53:46,240 --> 00:53:51,280
The reason that I said that the whole thing doesn't make sense and like that the

658
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:54,440
differences don't matter is because they don't make sense.

659
00:53:54,440 --> 00:54:00,520
And the differences don't matter. That we have already established now and we're moving forward.

660
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:04,920
Like the thing that I was kind of going off about was something that had like

661
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:09,680
been dealt with and I didn't make that clear last week. So there were some people who were extremely mad at me.

662
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:13,160
Yeah, there's a comment that said like the fire code is written in blood.

663
00:54:13,240 --> 00:54:21,400
It's like, yeah, for sure. Yes. But that was part of the reason that I also brought up the arbitrary changes to

664
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:25,400
the fire code, like how we used to have to build two stairwells onto a mezzanine.

665
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:28,120
And then they were just like, oh, actually forget it.

666
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:35,960
So like, yes, the fire code is, is logical and rational and makes sense.

667
00:54:36,240 --> 00:54:40,400
But also sometimes doesn't, and they decide it needs to change.

668
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:46,440
Things should have changes over time. And sometimes those things that change, you know what, honestly, are just

669
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:50,120
because of costs or lobbying pressure or whatever else.

670
00:54:50,240 --> 00:54:56,840
So let's not maybe they shouldn't have changed. So maybe they shouldn't have changed. Maybe you should actually have two stairwells down from an above ground space.

671
00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:01,640
Maybe you actually should, but maybe that was just like too expensive and impractical.

672
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:08,800
So it's always a balancing act. And the point of the conversation last week is not changed by any of these little details.

673
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:16,440
The point is that regulation can absolutely be a good thing, but applied poorly.

674
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:20,040
It can absolutely just get in the way of getting anything done.

675
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:25,040
That was the point. I was trying to show how I see both sides of that argument and have personally

676
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:27,440
experienced both sides of that argument.

677
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:33,720
Crystal chat says this, oh, my fucking God.

678
00:55:33,720 --> 00:55:37,720
It's like people assume that you maybe don't have any resources around you.

679
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:42,120
Yes. And you know what? And you know what?

680
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:46,760
Sometimes I do make mistakes, right? Like obviously I do make mistakes sometimes.

681
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:52,040
No, in this case, it turned out to not be my mistake, but that's not the assumption

682
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:58,480
that generally gets made. And it feels like a really weird situation that I've kind of found myself in as

683
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:02,720
someone who does issue corrections and as someone who does talk about what I make

684
00:56:02,720 --> 00:56:08,680
mistakes, that that seems to be harmful to my reputation.

685
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:17,440
But I'd like to issue a reminder that you should trust someone who issues

686
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:23,240
corrections and someone who admits their mistakes more than someone who doesn't

687
00:56:23,240 --> 00:56:27,320
admit their mistakes and just doubles down and is a weasel.

688
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:35,280
But we do. We care. Actually, speaking of mistakes, we had an error in one of our videos this week.

689
00:56:35,720 --> 00:56:43,520
Yesterday, we posted an LTT video. What fixing the 50 90s power connector near the end of the original upload.

690
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:48,120
We showed an email from MSI where they claimed that only the FE cards, the

691
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:52,200
founders edition cards, have the design to run all the pins to a single pad on

692
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:56,280
the PCB. It turns out that this statement from MSI is false.

693
00:56:56,600 --> 00:57:00,560
In fact, the PCI spec calls for them all to be combined.

694
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:04,240
So the only 50 90 that we're aware of now that doesn't immediately combine

695
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:09,040
power on the board is ASUS's ROG Astral card, the design of which was

696
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:13,720
mentioned in an email from ASUS that was also shown in the video, but we could have verbally pointed this out as well.

697
00:57:13,720 --> 00:57:16,760
Per our policies, we've removed the offending segment of the video and

698
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:22,040
posted a correcting comment. Big thanks to buildzoid who pointed out that error in the most efficient

699
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:25,600
possible manner in the interest of making sure that the community is well

700
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:31,080
informed by recording a video of himself, uploading it, waiting around for it

701
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:35,280
to process, and then publishing it. That was definitely the most efficient way.

702
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:39,320
If the absolute number one priority was making sure that the community gets

703
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:44,200
the information that they need in a timely manner, we're not perfect.

704
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:47,520
We'll never be perfect, but what I can do is assure you guys that we are

705
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:53,600
genuinely striving to make the best videos we can. And in this case, maybe we should have just skipped that.

706
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:57,200
Maybe we should have just not bothered talking about that. I don't know.

707
00:57:57,240 --> 00:58:00,680
I don't know what the fine line you guys want us to balance is here,

708
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:05,480
because the point of the video clearly wasn't that, but I think we felt

709
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:11,120
really pressured to cover every base when really the point of the video was

710
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:17,480
to just be top gear tech, tech, tech, top gear. I mean, there was even, it was pointed out on Reddit, there was a caveat.

711
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:21,840
Was it in that video? I'm not even sure, but there was a caveat that was in a video where it was

712
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:24,360
like Linus is not actually running this test.

713
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:29,000
Just in case he like did something wrong in the footage, it was, and everyone's

714
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:32,440
like, Oh, that's unnecessary. And then there's a bunch of people in the comments pointing out like,

715
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:39,720
Uh, actually it kind of is. Cause people like would have pixel peeped what exactly you had done.

716
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:43,080
I know if you had done it wrong, they would have ripped it apart. Yeah, I know. I don't know.

717
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:47,080
I think, I think one minor thing that could have been done here, which like,

718
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:51,400
this is a nitpick and you'll never catch all of these. So I don't know what it is, what it is.

719
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:58,000
But I think it was said as a statement supported by the emails when you could

720
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:00,400
have maybe said just they claim.

721
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:06,080
Yeah. Instead of this is a fact because we have these emails, you could just say they

722
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:10,520
claim that might help a little bit. Ultimately though, I agree.

723
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:17,280
It's, it super wasn't the point of the video. And I, I don't want us to stop doing stuff like that because we're worried

724
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:25,240
about these types of things. And I got to be honest with you. Like I, I am sort of, I'm sort of blown away that they screwed this up.

725
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:29,040
Um, a surprising people pointed out. Like, Oh, it's just a PR person.

726
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:34,200
It's a PR person in the email. It literally says that they talked to people about it.

727
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:40,080
Like they, they, they went and got resources. Um, just because it's a PR person, it doesn't mean that they're like incapable

728
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:43,760
of accessing information or accessing the people that have information that is

729
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:46,760
often quite literally their job. Um,

730
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:53,760
what's more surprising about it to me is just how, how, I guess it's one of those

731
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:05,800
like look that close and you say blue and I'm just like, okay, uh, Luke sent me

732
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:07,240
an email, his shirt is blue.

733
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:13,880
What it would be the point of you lying to me about that because of in a way,

734
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:21,920
how easily verifiable it was. Yeah. And it was exactly why we didn't feel the need to verify it because why would you

735
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:30,040
lie about that, that it could be worded in a different way? Like my God, I don't know at a certain point, like it's a video of, can we get

736
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:37,920
another connector on the card? Like and, and to be clear, I'm not, I'm not downplaying in any way, the

737
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:43,600
validity of the feedback. Totally. Yeah, it's, it's, it's valid and I would like it to be fixed.

738
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:46,560
I don't want there to be something wrong in one of our video and the video is fixed.

739
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:54,720
Yeah. The video is fixed now. As soon as we were made aware, we, we took action according to our, according

740
01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:58,120
to our corrections policies, right? Like that's, that's what we do.

741
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:05,960
Yeah. But like it, I shouldn't have to check something like that.

742
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:10,680
The fact that we do is great to know, you know, now we're kind of sitting here

743
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:15,400
going, okay, well, if NVIDIA tells us how many CUDA cores a GPU has.

744
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:27,200
So do we have to check every sample to make sure, you know, um, and maybe the

745
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:31,800
answer is yes, but like, people, people literally were mad at us for that,

746
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:35,000
which like, really? Oh, I didn't even catch that.

747
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:39,120
Some people were like not spotting, just in case, just in case people aren't

748
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:44,280
aware of what we're talking about. There was, I don't remember exactly what video it was, but we got official slides

749
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:50,200
from NVIDIA that had, cause, oh, what, uh, companies make mistakes sometimes,

750
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:53,200
even when they're like massive, huge, enormous company.

751
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:56,960
What, no way. Uh, yeah. NVIDIA made a mistake.

752
01:01:56,960 --> 01:02:05,240
They put the wrong number on the slide. Oh, I wasn't even talking about that. I was talking about the scandal where some of the ROPs were missing on, on a NVIDIA says,

753
01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:08,400
I mean, that's a little more major, like less than 5% of the cards or something

754
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:11,520
like that, but yeah, some of them just shipped with not enough ROPs.

755
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:14,800
Yeah, I'm talking about is there, there was, yeah, there was a slide from them that

756
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:18,720
was slightly wrong. KG4WN says, have you verified Luke's real name?

757
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:22,560
Perhaps the hospital with the birth certificate was incorrect. That's true.

758
01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:27,720
Why is my first name English and my last name French? You need to start saying this is the person who claims to be Luke.

759
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:32,480
Yeah, good call. And so, yeah, I got, I got to be, I got to be honest with you guys.

760
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:38,840
If they had made a claim that was potential, that seemed like it could

761
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:42,480
potentially be false, like, like they could get away with it there.

762
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:48,800
That's, that's, that was the assumption I made was that what they were saying was

763
01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:51,920
clearly something that they weren't going to get away with if it was false.

764
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:54,280
So why do I need to check this?

765
01:02:55,960 --> 01:03:00,600
And the answer is apparently because I just like need to, but it was just, it was

766
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:05,720
so far aside from the point of the content, of the point of what we were trying to do.

767
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:11,960
We were trying to raise awareness about this issue in a fun, entertaining way.

768
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:21,680
That's what we do. That's what we do, I think, as well as, if not better than anyone in the tech

769
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:29,000
space, that's what we do. We talk about what we think people need to know and we try and make it as engaging

770
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,920
as possible. Yeah, you know, like some people in the community understood that and some people

771
01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:45,840
didn't, and I think the, I think some of this, like, I think it's redirected or

772
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:50,600
misdirected anger around tech stuff right now is just going to push people away

773
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:53,800
and make the community smaller, because it's not, it's not fun.

774
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:54,400
It's not inviting.

775
01:03:57,680 --> 01:04:01,120
Yeah, I'm, I don't know. No, I don't want to get into that again today.

776
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:07,760
Definitely makes me sad, but yeah, I enjoyed that video.

777
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:11,360
I legitimately had a ton of fun and I'm not going to.

778
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:15,480
Such a cool concept. Yeah, I don't think we should, I was talking to someone about this earlier.

779
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:24,640
I really strongly do not think that we should risk not doing those things.

780
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:26,400
And I think risk is actually the right term.

781
01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:35,720
I think we should still have fun. And I think we should still, you know, not necessarily go to mile 10,000 with

782
01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:39,680
everything. Like if you just want to kind of dabble with something and screw around, I think

783
01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:45,880
that's fine. I don't think we should lose sight of being able to do things kind of quickly,

784
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:49,840
kind of jankily for fun, because sometimes that's as much as you want to do.

785
01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:54,680
And that's as much depth as there is to it being fun and going further would

786
01:04:54,680 --> 01:05:01,480
make it not fun. And to be clear, there's room for analytical content that isn't about the

787
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:04,560
fun. I mean, PSU circuit is a perfect example of that.

788
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:08,920
Totally. Right place, right time.

789
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:16,960
Oh man. So many people seem to be very, very confused about why we use the AI voice.

790
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:22,440
Really? Yeah, because they're like, well, it would only take like three minutes for a

791
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:25,280
person to read the script or four minutes or whatever.

792
01:05:26,040 --> 01:05:30,560
So the reason that we use the AI voice is because it automates the editing.

793
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:36,320
So yes, Emily spends a couple hours, like two or three hours lining everything

794
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:41,560
up, but with a human voice with the ums and us where you're actually editing

795
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:47,760
like a, like a flawed human take, we can't automate the actual cutting of the footage.

796
01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:52,360
So if you guys pay very close attention to these videos, which I don't really

797
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:56,360
expect anybody to do because they're just not really the point. Yeah, it's not really the point of it.

798
01:05:56,840 --> 01:06:01,240
If you pay very close attention, the entire thing is templatized.

799
01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:07,640
So the entire flow of the video is identical every time and the actual timing

800
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:11,200
of the clips is automated to the greatest degree that we can.

801
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:17,040
So using an AI voice makes that automated editing process more efficient and in

802
01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:22,760
the future can make it more efficient or as time goes on.

803
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:29,280
I would love, I would absolutely love for this channel to, you know, be a

804
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:34,080
super valuable resource for people and for it to start getting some, some views

805
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:40,200
and some affiliate revenue and whatever else. And I would love for us to pivot and make it a fully human hosted channel at

806
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:44,480
some point in the future, more like ShortCircuit where you've got a host kind

807
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:47,600
of reading out the test report, injecting a little bit of personality and flavor.

808
01:06:47,600 --> 01:06:52,040
You've got editors spending, you know, anywhere from six to 10 hours working on

809
01:06:52,080 --> 01:07:01,360
it, but, you know, I, the, the, the entitlement of people who are attacking

810
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:05,960
me for not being willing to lose more money on this channel is.

811
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:14,360
I, I don't see a lot of that personally. Oh, dude.

812
01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:22,920
I believe you, but I don't, I don't see a lot of that. No, this has all the destiny does all these things and you can't, you can't get

813
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:26,880
a person to read the fit. But guys, it's not the point.

814
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:31,320
It's not the point. The point is that it's a data sheet. It's a data sheet NVIDIA form.

815
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:35,800
And I'm sorry that it's not losing enough money for you.

816
01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:39,120
Every single one of those uploads is a loss.

817
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:44,440
And I don't have a clear path to it being anything other than a loss.

818
01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:46,680
Not the goal, even. It's not the goal.

819
01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:51,360
So chill.

820
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:57,840
It's all good. It's all good. You can check out if, uh, you know, a power supply that you're considering

821
01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:01,120
buying has been tested, you can see our test report. It's all good.

822
01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:09,040
Or you could just go to lttlabs.com. Um, yeah, which looks all cool now and stuff.

823
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:17,160
Dude, the site is like actually kind of amazing now. I'm, I'm extremely excited for us to, uh, beef up the team.

824
01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:20,080
Oh, do you, I, hey, uh, any, any progress on those postings?

825
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:24,320
Yeah, we had, we had interviews this week. Oh, sick. We have interviews next week.

826
01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:28,840
Oh, sick. We have interviews the week after that. Oh, sick. Okay. So we've had applications then.

827
01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:34,400
Yeah. There's, there's a potential change to the job description of the writer position

828
01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:37,760
that might be happening, but all the other ones are full steam ahead.

829
01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:41,480
Okay. Um, and just because there was a change to the job description, the writer one

830
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:47,160
doesn't necessarily mean, um, we're, we're tossing all the applicants out.

831
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:51,080
The, the problem is we're shifting it from a senior role to a junior role.

832
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:54,960
That's not actually, it does reduce the budget, but it's not for budget reasons.

833
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:59,480
It's for like team organization reasons. I think the plan behind it is actually really cool.

834
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:02,600
I don't know if I should necessarily talk about that on the show. Does that make sense?

835
01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:06,920
Maybe, maybe not. Uh, either way, my brain is not working today.

836
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:12,360
So go ahead and do whatever you want. Sure. Yeah. But we're, we're changed the, we had a bunch of meetings and we decided to

837
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:15,960
change the scope of the role a little bit, um, and change some of the

838
01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:22,520
responsibilities and all this kind of stuff. So, um, there were some applicants that seemed to be more junior applicants

839
01:09:22,520 --> 01:09:26,000
that were applying through aspiration. So we might keep those resumes.

840
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:29,800
We might repost the job description to collect more if we feel like we don't

841
01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:34,320
have a large enough pool from there. Um, but yeah, that one is changing a little bit.

842
01:09:34,480 --> 01:09:37,280
The rest are staying the same. Um, yeah.

843
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:43,840
Cool. Moving on. I think we have explained to do merch messages.

844
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:46,920
Oh, this is weird. Have you ever seen this before?

845
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:54,080
What? There's a dislike button, but it says disabled by owner.

846
01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:59,920
Is that a thing? I've genuinely no clue what that means.

847
01:09:59,920 --> 01:10:02,920
Cause I could click it. I don't see that.

848
01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:06,840
Mine doesn't show that. What?

849
01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:10,440
What does that mean? I'm on it. You can look at mine. Yeah, this is mine.

850
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:19,520
What if I click it? I've seen a couple, I've seen a couple of comments, um, from people accusing us

851
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:23,200
of disabling the dislike button, but I've never seen disabled for me.

852
01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:27,320
I've never seen the interface thing that they're talking about. What is this 603 said?

853
01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:32,480
Is this an AB test? It might be an AB test that might be actually a setting that we have.

854
01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:38,640
Um, and no, I don't think heard of that. I don't think I have. Oh, I do have return YouTube dislike.

855
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:41,360
Hold on. So what if I remove it?

856
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:43,160
I haven't used it in ages.

857
01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:48,560
The refresh. Oh, I wonder if it's just to do with that extension.

858
01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:55,480
Oh yeah. There you go. Wait, what? And my dislike, even though it said disabled before my dislike clearly is still,

859
01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:59,280
it was registered because it's still showing. What does that even mean?

860
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:08,080
Huh. Interesting. Is it, is it like, so it's user error.

861
01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:12,160
All right, cool. Well, yeah, sorry.

862
01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:15,680
We have so much to hide that we, uh, that we removed our dislike button.

863
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:22,800
Feel free to put that in your pile of things to be mad at me about. But actually it turns out that you're just using a random extension in your browser.

864
01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:27,280
Linus is for censorship. So good job. He's taking my ability to dislike away.

865
01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:27,680
Yep.

866
01:11:30,520 --> 01:11:34,000
What a mean guy. I'm basically awful. What a big mean guy.

867
01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:37,680
Um, go buy, uh, go buy an MSI GPU with honey.

868
01:11:43,480 --> 01:11:48,960
Didn't any get removed from the store? Oh, Chrome, I think. Oh, we don't, dude, we have an update on that this week, actually.

869
01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:52,840
Oh, speaking of which, uh, wait, where's the, where's the thing?

870
01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:56,320
Why is this not in here? I definitely want to talk about honey right now. That sounds awesome.

871
01:11:56,360 --> 01:11:59,440
Do you? I definitely saw it earlier. Yeah, it's, oh yeah, there it is. I found it.

872
01:11:59,680 --> 01:12:02,760
It's definitely not actually about honey. Oh, okay. Sweet.

873
01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:08,040
Yeah. In the near future, if you are watching an old LCT video, you might have noticed

874
01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:14,200
that we have cut out our old sponsor spot and added in a YouTube ad in its place.

875
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:18,920
Uh, we're talking to you about this because we have, like I said, in my original

876
01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:27,280
response to, um, a mega leg, um, you know, just kind of willy nilly cutting our

877
01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:30,920
back catalog is not something that, you know, we're going to be able to do

878
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:37,920
immediately, we have sort of a bit of a heavier ship to steer, given our back

879
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:42,440
catalog is something like 10,000 videos at this point, um, and that our policy

880
01:12:42,440 --> 01:12:48,240
up until now and our agreements with our partners up until now have not included

881
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:52,960
any of that. Um, but I did say back then that it would be something that we would look at and

882
01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:59,240
something that we would explore. So we have done that. The wheels have been turning in the background and we're ready to talk about it.

883
01:12:59,440 --> 01:13:04,040
So, uh, yeah, if you, if you have kind of a jarring experience watching our videos,

884
01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:08,360
it is because we are going to be cutting some old sponsor spots and adding

885
01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:14,600
YouTube ads in their place. Um, the reason for this is we want to do a better job of policing our back

886
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:18,360
catalog to make sure that people aren't wasting time watching ads for companies

887
01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:23,040
that we either no longer support, uh, for various reasons.

888
01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:27,840
This can come down to their policies, any actions that they've taken or refused

889
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:32,080
to take for our users, um, or companies that are no longer relevant.

890
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:37,040
Like maybe no longer exist. So obviously at the top of that list is honey.

891
01:13:37,040 --> 01:13:43,360
We have cut out or removed over 120 honey sponsorship reads and our team is

892
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:46,240
working on getting the rest done by next week.

893
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:54,920
There are probably going to be in a next week. There are probably going to be some, um, some casualties.

894
01:13:55,680 --> 01:14:00,360
Uh, I believe there are two videos that are being removed from the channel.

895
01:14:00,480 --> 01:14:04,880
Whole videos. Yeah. Uh, I'm trying to find the, I'm trying to find the chat where

896
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:12,280
Colton and James were talking about it. Yeah. So we did a shopping stream for prime day one year and then we also, they're

897
01:14:12,280 --> 01:14:15,080
both actually prime day shopping streams.

898
01:14:15,560 --> 01:14:21,160
Um, and because honey was so deeply integrated into the video, just chop

899
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:24,040
out a segment was like a banner across the bottom of the whole thing.

900
01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:27,480
Uh, what we've decided to do is simply unlist those videos.

901
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:33,160
Also, I figured out a way to loop me in to the, the evil that's going on with

902
01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:37,520
the dislike button. Oh, uh, we have dislikes on Floatplane.

903
01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:43,160
Oh, so you were just trying to create more value for Floatplane.

904
01:14:43,160 --> 01:14:47,240
Feature differentiation. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, dislike, but I think I'll pay for it.

905
01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:50,840
It's about time anyone kind of lumped you in with all of my evilness because

906
01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:54,520
you've clearly been here and complicit for 14 years or whatever.

907
01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:59,200
Dodging bullets. Good gravy. Is it that long? Is it, it's probably about right.

908
01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:01,680
14 years. Yeah. Holy f**k.

909
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:08,680
I think we're, I think we're like very close to 15 too.

910
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:12,720
Technically. Yeah, it's been a long time.

911
01:15:13,240 --> 01:15:17,480
It's been a long time. I was telling you recently, like it's literally not going to be very long

912
01:15:17,480 --> 01:15:20,600
until this will have been half my life. That's crazy.

913
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:29,840
We're not there yet. A few years away, but we'll get there. Anyway, if you see any of our other videos with honey spots in them after next

914
01:15:29,840 --> 01:15:33,840
week, once the team has had a chance to go through, please email infoatlinusmediagroup.com

915
01:15:33,840 --> 01:15:40,600
so we can get those removed. I don't think we're ready to talk about what our policy is going to be for what

916
01:15:40,600 --> 01:15:45,600
gets removed or what doesn't. But what I can tell you is it's going to be a little fuzzy.

917
01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:52,160
No, the plan is not to scrub through the entire 10,000 view, 10,000 video history.

918
01:15:52,160 --> 01:15:55,760
I don't think that's necessarily practical, nor do I think that it necessarily

919
01:15:55,760 --> 01:16:00,760
makes sense, but if we have videos that are old, but are still reaching a certain

920
01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:05,440
threshold of current, like current day viewership, then I think those are ones

921
01:16:05,440 --> 01:16:10,440
that we're going to want to look at. But if there's videos that are getting like three views a year from 11 years

922
01:16:10,440 --> 01:16:15,880
ago, I don't think we're going to go back and we're going to like cut out

923
01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:22,800
sponsor spots for five, four clothing or whatever. Like I don't think that actually makes a ton of sense and is good use of people's

924
01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:28,120
time. So we're going to have to try to find a good balance between making sure

925
01:16:28,120 --> 01:16:32,480
that we're managing our back catalog, but also not just like wasting people's

926
01:16:32,480 --> 01:16:37,040
time with mind numbing, um, morale destroying work.

927
01:16:37,360 --> 01:16:40,600
So we'll try and find a good balance for you guys there.

928
01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:45,800
Question. Are we just leaving everything up on flow plane? Cause I know there's no ad spots, but you're saying they were moving entire

929
01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:50,840
videos, so we're just leaving those videos on flow, people are asking. Uh, yeah, I, it's probably fine.

930
01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:56,800
I would think it's fine to just leave it on flow plane. Yeah, I'm sure someone will find a way to turn that into a scandal at some point,

931
01:16:56,800 --> 01:17:03,200
but, uh, you're, uh, endorsing honey and private.

932
01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:08,120
Yeah. Yeah, hiding it behind its gated community behind my paywall help yourself.

933
01:17:08,160 --> 01:17:14,600
You just have to endorse honey and you do it through ways that the people pay for

934
01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:21,560
it, the most vulnerable whale users. I'm exploiting their, their addiction to people who trust you the most Linus.

935
01:17:21,600 --> 01:17:24,680
Yes. Wow. That's pretty good.

936
01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:26,600
Wow. Yeah. Good job.

937
01:17:31,520 --> 01:17:35,760
Okay. What else? What else? We've got some announcements. Oh yeah.

938
01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:41,240
We're supposed to explain merch messages. Hey, merch messages are the way to interact with the show.

939
01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:45,680
We don't do the other things. Um, super chats, quick bits.

940
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:47,800
Thank you. Those things. Quick bits is a technique.

941
01:17:49,600 --> 01:17:52,760
Bits. Bits on, uh, what's your excuse?

942
01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:56,280
Twitch bids. Right after I said it, I was like, uh-oh.

943
01:17:57,480 --> 01:17:59,680
I didn't even catch it. Quick bits.

944
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:02,080
Uh, um.

945
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:08,040
Cool. So, right, because if you're going to throw money at your screen, we believe

946
01:18:08,040 --> 01:18:15,280
that you should get something in return. So how about a great LTT reversible bomber jacket?

947
01:18:15,280 --> 01:18:22,440
It's back, folks. It's the jacket made for the indecisive or the stylish or both.

948
01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:25,520
We saw a ton of you guys were looking for these.

949
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:29,640
So we brought them back. Luke and I are wearing the same jacket.

950
01:18:29,640 --> 01:18:32,640
I believe this is the only reversible garment that we've ever done.

951
01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:36,400
And this is a really funny one for me because I never got one.

952
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:39,920
Oh, really? Yeah. I like forgot and got lazy.

953
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:42,880
Like that's the thing about being allowed to have anything you want from the store

954
01:18:43,200 --> 01:18:46,360
is that sometimes you kind of go, oh, I'll get it later.

955
01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:50,760
And then you don't get it. And then you're like, oh, fuck.

956
01:18:51,160 --> 01:18:54,920
Because the run rate wasn't high enough to do a reorder. And it's like, okay, well, I missed it.

957
01:18:55,000 --> 01:19:01,320
I never, I didn't get any of our Merino underwear. I have two samples of it, like pre-release samples that don't fit right.

958
01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:05,240
Because they were pre-release and then I never got any of the actual production.

959
01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:11,480
You want to know something really tragic? I have none of the full plain exclusive ones.

960
01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:16,440
What? Because they all went so fast that I couldn't do the internal request form.

961
01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:21,240
And I just asked for them directly and it just like didn't happen.

962
01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:24,200
That's hilarious. So in the future, I just have to buy them, which is fine.

963
01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:29,800
That's pretty funny. But the thing that really pains me is that I can't get them.

964
01:19:30,120 --> 01:19:36,600
I was like, I will buy it. It's no problem, but they don't, they're gone. There's no way that we're going to ask Marco to do like one for you.

965
01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:40,360
Yeah, exactly. Doesn't make sense. Yeah, he probably even still has the screens for it.

966
01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:43,960
But we're not going to, I'm not going to be like, because he could do it.

967
01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:48,120
But I, there's no way I would ask him to do that.

968
01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:52,360
Is I'm not even the only person from flow plain that is like, oh, I didn't get it.

969
01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:58,840
Christmas party. I could do a surprise run of all of them.

970
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:03,040
No, if we ever acquire our own

971
01:20:03,040 --> 01:20:06,640
we just got to be more on it printing gear and stuff, then I think we could do

972
01:20:06,640 --> 01:20:11,480
stuff that makes absolutely no sense like that. But as it is, then it doesn't mean when we have an external partner,

973
01:20:11,480 --> 01:20:15,600
like I think we try not to be nice any more than we absolutely have.

974
01:20:15,600 --> 01:20:22,200
It's a whole thing to load up the screen and stuff, isn't it? Like, well, yes and no, like, like they do prototypes.

975
01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:25,520
Like they'll do one turn for us aspirational.

976
01:20:26,520 --> 01:20:29,800
Yeah, it's not knowing this is the only one you're going to.

977
01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:35,080
Yes, yes. And you know what? Honestly, our T-shirt printing guy is awesome.

978
01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:38,760
And, you know, sometimes he will even do stuff where he'll be like, yeah,

979
01:20:39,680 --> 01:20:45,280
I like what you guys did, but also here's a version that has a couple more colors that I thought would look really cool.

980
01:20:45,440 --> 01:20:49,120
And like, so he'll do stuff like that. Like he's clearly willing to put in the work.

981
01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:52,680
But I just, I don't like asking people to do something that makes no sense

982
01:20:52,680 --> 01:20:56,480
for their business in general. No, for sure. Yeah, I'm not sorry.

983
01:20:56,480 --> 01:21:01,840
Sorry. Yes, I'm fixing. I'm fixing the collar. Anyway, the point is that there we go.

984
01:21:02,120 --> 01:21:06,160
Luke and I are wearing the same jacket right now. Oh, did I not know it's the front now?

985
01:21:07,080 --> 01:21:12,440
Oh, there you go. There you go. Sorry about that. Luke and I are wearing the same reversible bomber jacket.

986
01:21:12,440 --> 01:21:15,960
It has the most subtle LTT branding of all time.

987
01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:22,560
Yes, we have a black on black. Right there logo that you can kind of make out.

988
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:26,000
If you look at it from the side and then the puffs,

989
01:21:28,280 --> 01:21:31,280
the puffs make little LTTs.

990
01:21:31,480 --> 01:21:37,960
I thought that was really cute when I first saw that. See this, there's a T and there's a there's another T.

991
01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:41,520
There's an L in there. It's far easier to just see the T's.

992
01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:45,000
There's an L in there somewhere. Yeah, yeah, they're in there somewhere.

993
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:49,880
I think the L's are made with the little square. So the bottom of the L is actually closed off.

994
01:21:49,880 --> 01:21:55,280
So it's not as easy to see, but it is there. Yeah, so by default, it's stealth stealthy and sleek.

995
01:21:55,520 --> 01:22:00,240
And by not default, it is vibrant orange with LTT quilted all over it.

996
01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:03,760
It's weather resistant and slightly insulated to keep you warm,

997
01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:06,960
but not too warm during the spring and also as a total of nine

998
01:22:07,080 --> 01:22:09,880
zippered pockets on both sides, so you can carry all the things.

999
01:22:10,200 --> 01:22:13,800
It's available now at LMG.GG slash bomber.

1000
01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:19,040
Also, we have some Floatplane announcements after the quick sex right before you go.

1001
01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:25,400
I just want to show this because not everyone notices it. But someone asked me for like the sizing of it for tall people.

1002
01:22:26,040 --> 01:22:30,320
I would recommend that it's just it's small, but you can click on the size guide

1003
01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:34,120
and they have like actually pretty good size guides for like practically everything.

1004
01:22:34,200 --> 01:22:38,400
So yeah, open that little little modal up and check it out.

1005
01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:43,000
I didn't realize how well reviewed this product was. Oh, it's literally five stars.

1006
01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:49,880
Yeah, it is an excellent jacket. Our our goal, I believe, is like four and a half or something.

1007
01:22:50,760 --> 01:22:53,760
Four point eight eight out of five, huh?

1008
01:22:54,520 --> 01:23:00,920
That's pretty good. Man, for for a company that has struggled so much to sell our jackets,

1009
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:07,200
we sure make good. I like it actually genuinely I bring every opportunity I have

1010
01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:10,200
or bring this jacket up and I think we're never making it again or something.

1011
01:23:10,200 --> 01:23:14,200
But the the breaker that know the 3D down the 3D down.

1012
01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:17,240
We're never making the 3D down again. It looks incredibly sharp.

1013
01:23:17,240 --> 01:23:21,680
I know like it's a really attractive jacket. It's probably like the nicest clothing item I own.

1014
01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:28,440
It's super, super comfortable. Everyone that I've like handed it to is like, oh, wow, this is really nice.

1015
01:23:28,440 --> 01:23:32,040
And I'm like, yeah, but we just it was like too expensive

1016
01:23:32,280 --> 01:23:35,640
for people to not be able to try it on. I think that's a big part of it.

1017
01:23:35,640 --> 01:23:39,960
I also think that we could have marketed the material that we were using,

1018
01:23:39,960 --> 01:23:43,760
the like 3D printed like feather based material that was super thin.

1019
01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:46,920
I think we could have marketed it better. Like we're it's tough.

1020
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:53,600
We're still we're still learning. Like we're we're still pretty new at the whole like physical goods business.

1021
01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:58,840
And we've been hyper focused on just like making really good products.

1022
01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:02,920
And for years, we just kind of relied on the sheer volume of traffic

1023
01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:06,360
that we could drive to the site from our channel to to sell it.

1024
01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:10,320
But we need to get way better at marketing and we are getting better.

1025
01:24:10,480 --> 01:24:15,440
Like just our product photography is so much better now. Yeah, that's yeah.

1026
01:24:15,480 --> 01:24:20,360
Already in the team of a great job of like our copy is so much better now.

1027
01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:26,680
That's a copy. Like we're we are improving, but these things just time like look at this banner.

1028
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:31,240
Yeah, like it's actually really cool and like this one was sick.

1029
01:24:32,960 --> 01:24:39,320
Like we just I don't know. There's there's things that are really coming along that like it makes it feel like a it makes it feel like a real story.

1030
01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:44,280
The site needs improvement. Yeah, we know that though. We know that there's a redesign that's being worked on.

1031
01:24:44,840 --> 01:24:51,080
I don't know this, but I'm going to make a little assumption that the work being done on the redesign is being somewhat impacted

1032
01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:55,160
by tariff stuff going on, because it's probably not as big of a focus anymore.

1033
01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:58,800
Oh, dude, the team's been like, oh, yeah, I mean, look,

1034
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:04,400
I mean, we're not the only ones, so I'm not going to sit here and complain like it's a unique situation that's impacting us.

1035
01:25:04,400 --> 01:25:08,360
But the team's just been like working on things

1036
01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:11,400
and then effectively has to drop everything.

1037
01:25:11,440 --> 01:25:14,480
All gets tossed out the window and go figure out just completely

1038
01:25:14,480 --> 01:25:19,960
unnecessary bullshit that. Yeah, yeah, it's like all the companies above the border

1039
01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:25,360
and some companies below the border to it's a lot of people. But yeah, I think I think if I can make an assumption,

1040
01:25:25,360 --> 01:25:29,960
they've probably shifted their focus a little bit to that more than the redesign, which totally makes sense.

1041
01:25:30,240 --> 01:25:34,280
So the redesign is is coming. I don't know when it's going to happen, but it's coming.

1042
01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:37,760
And then hopefully it'll look a little bit nicer. The main thing that we ran into, in my opinion,

1043
01:25:37,760 --> 01:25:42,280
is we just have too much stuff now. Like the design for the store that we had was fine

1044
01:25:42,280 --> 01:25:45,360
when you have like a few shirts, maybe one or two other things. It's a merch store.

1045
01:25:45,360 --> 01:25:49,920
Yeah. And now we're like even more not a merch store.

1046
01:25:50,320 --> 01:25:53,440
I know. Like we were only really a merch store back in like,

1047
01:25:53,440 --> 01:25:59,120
I'm guessing like 2017. We've talked in the past about like separating the store

1048
01:25:59,120 --> 01:26:03,160
for like, you know, tools and clothing and whatever.

1049
01:26:03,160 --> 01:26:08,080
But it's like, how do we do that? We have like two tools, you know?

1050
01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:11,760
Like we talked about when, because the cables are coming up soon

1051
01:26:12,080 --> 01:26:15,160
and we've talked about, OK, well, maybe we should like launch a cable brand.

1052
01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:19,040
And it's like, right, but we're going to start with just USB cables like it.

1053
01:26:19,760 --> 01:26:23,600
And then we lose the strength of the LTT brand.

1054
01:26:24,640 --> 01:26:28,400
I think you could do it once you have like really a proper like line of products.

1055
01:26:28,760 --> 01:26:32,360
Yeah, I guess, but the problem is it takes us so long

1056
01:26:32,360 --> 01:26:35,840
to develop a whole lineup of products because and a big part of it

1057
01:26:36,240 --> 01:26:40,520
is that we refuse to make a product that just doesn't have a reason to exist.

1058
01:26:40,840 --> 01:26:46,160
Like we've gone, dude, we have prototyped so many tools,

1059
01:26:46,520 --> 01:26:52,720
whether it's like, you know, tweezers or like, like, like disassembly tools or

1060
01:26:52,760 --> 01:26:56,000
Taryn was showing me a bag the other day that will never see the light of day.

1061
01:26:57,200 --> 01:27:01,000
Like we prototype so much stuff and then we just ask ourselves,

1062
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:04,920
you know, what is the point of this? You know, what is its place in the market?

1063
01:27:04,920 --> 01:27:10,680
What, what need does it serve? And like I've seen a lot of criticism of our products, right?

1064
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:14,400
Because people are like, why would I buy that screwdriver

1065
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:19,800
when I can get one from Harbor Freight for four dollars? And it's like, yeah, sure. Exactly.

1066
01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:23,960
Whenever I can't find my LTT screwdriver at home and I need a screwdriver

1067
01:27:24,320 --> 01:27:27,440
and I do find another one, I get like actually upset

1068
01:27:27,440 --> 01:27:30,120
and we'll keep looking for like a while before I'll give up.

1069
01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:34,440
Like, why isn't it where it's supposed to be? I don't want to use this other one.

1070
01:27:34,480 --> 01:27:38,720
Anyway. And if you want a Harbor Freight screwdriver, you can buy one.

1071
01:27:38,720 --> 01:27:42,600
Yeah, send it. But the thing is that we don't have a competitive edge

1072
01:27:42,800 --> 01:27:49,200
against a Harbor Freight screwdriver. And we're not trying. Which is being which is being designed, manufactured

1073
01:27:49,240 --> 01:27:56,600
and sold and brought to market in a completely different process

1074
01:27:56,840 --> 01:28:01,120
with a with a low cost at any cost mentality

1075
01:28:01,360 --> 01:28:05,720
that we're not going to be able to compete. I don't own a screwdriver factory, right?

1076
01:28:05,720 --> 01:28:08,720
So we're we're not going to be able to compete in that space.

1077
01:28:08,720 --> 01:28:12,320
We have to differentiate in another way. We differentiate through our customer service,

1078
01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:16,600
which has been a little slowly, but is still committed to quality.

1079
01:28:16,600 --> 01:28:21,360
Sure. Yes, I'm going to be fast. The quality of our customer resolution strategy.

1080
01:28:21,760 --> 01:28:29,440
Solid. Let's go with that. Through the through the trust me, bro, guarantee we we compete based on

1081
01:28:30,040 --> 01:28:35,880
making sure that we differentiate like our precision screwdriver set.

1082
01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:39,240
You know, there was that side remark from someone

1083
01:28:39,840 --> 01:28:43,400
that we cloned their precision screwdriver kit. We absolutely didn't.

1084
01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:47,600
Ours disassembles and stacks and has a magnetic parts tray built into it.

1085
01:28:47,600 --> 01:28:50,760
There's also wasn't the first one has longer shanks on the bit

1086
01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:54,440
so that you can reach into recessed spots more easily. It has a stronger magnet.

1087
01:28:54,440 --> 01:28:59,080
It also has a higher quality bearing. It has in handle bit storage in a metal

1088
01:28:59,680 --> 01:29:02,760
chassis. It's got all kinds of differences compared to other things.

1089
01:29:02,760 --> 01:29:06,600
And yeah, it's more expensive. It's more expensive because it just costs way more to make.

1090
01:29:07,240 --> 01:29:12,760
But that's what differentiates it. So we've had so many things in the prototype phase

1091
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:15,520
that we've just ultimately not moved forward with because.

1092
01:29:17,160 --> 01:29:22,440
And maybe this is something that will change. Maybe this is something that will change where we actually do just say, OK,

1093
01:29:22,440 --> 01:29:27,480
look, we need a pair of flush cutters. And yeah, they are not going to be.

1094
01:29:27,480 --> 01:29:32,040
I think this is a I think the original goal of that whole thing was very noble.

1095
01:29:32,680 --> 01:29:37,840
I think eventually it makes sense to change once you have product categories

1096
01:29:37,840 --> 01:29:39,520
started where someone.

1097
01:29:41,200 --> 01:29:47,680
Might want. All of the stuff in this category to be from one brand or to to have a

1098
01:29:48,280 --> 01:29:54,040
people like that style identity, right? Yeah, color matching, general aesthetic similar to each other.

1099
01:29:54,040 --> 01:29:58,320
That quality that is dependable. Yeah, consistent enough.

1100
01:29:58,320 --> 01:30:02,560
Like, yeah, that that's totally a thing. So I just said Milwaukee tools.

1101
01:30:02,560 --> 01:30:06,640
Yeah, I mean, a lot of tools people like having, I mean, in a lot of those

1102
01:30:06,640 --> 01:30:12,200
categories, it's because of battery compatibility and whatnot. But a lot of people like having kind of like one brand of stuff that they have.

1103
01:30:13,360 --> 01:30:16,880
So I think getting into a category, you should probably only do it

1104
01:30:16,880 --> 01:30:19,600
if there's something new and good that you can bring to that market.

1105
01:30:20,520 --> 01:30:24,120
But once you're in that category, it's like, I don't know, whatever.

1106
01:30:24,960 --> 01:30:28,000
I'll take a multi hammer. Thank you, Conrad for that.

1107
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:35,600
Wait, it could be a hammer and a bar of water.

1108
01:30:37,120 --> 01:30:38,120
Stop it.

1109
01:30:40,520 --> 01:30:44,880
Yeah, I don't know. And like, obviously it's a strategy that works for other brands.

1110
01:30:44,880 --> 01:30:49,680
Like I forget who it is, but some one of those worksite brands has like a radio.

1111
01:30:50,280 --> 01:30:57,040
Oh, like all of them. $200 or $250 because they have an espresso machine.

1112
01:30:57,040 --> 01:31:02,960
Yeah, like a rugged, rugged espresso machine for manly espresso drinkers.

1113
01:31:02,960 --> 01:31:08,240
Yeah, and it probably runs off the tool batteries. It does. They find a way, everything will run off the tool batteries.

1114
01:31:08,240 --> 01:31:11,920
Yeah, so, so, you know what, that's something that in the longer term,

1115
01:31:11,920 --> 01:31:16,080
maybe we do just have to kind of figure out and maybe we, you know, 3x

1116
01:31:16,880 --> 01:31:22,720
the engineering. I think that's a joke. Maybe we 3x the engineering team and then, yeah, we just make a hammer.

1117
01:31:22,720 --> 01:31:25,800
We make flush cutters. We make, you know, Ethernet crimps.

1118
01:31:25,800 --> 01:31:29,000
And as long as they're, as long as they're good enough and they're priced

1119
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:32,600
reasonably ish, then, hey, we'll have that.

1120
01:31:32,600 --> 01:31:36,960
Oh my God, doesn't it come with a battery?

1121
01:31:43,240 --> 01:31:46,920
Good Lord. Of course they do. I don't know why.

1122
01:31:47,920 --> 01:31:53,920
I don't know why I doubted it. That photo of it just on the ground is so golden to me.

1123
01:31:53,920 --> 01:31:56,920
I'm gonna heat up my work hot pockets. Oh man.

1124
01:31:56,920 --> 01:31:59,920
Oh my God. Yeah, of course.

1125
01:31:59,920 --> 01:32:02,920
I think that we should do an espresso grinder.

1126
01:32:02,920 --> 01:32:05,920
Maybe there's a middle ground to be found here.

1127
01:32:05,920 --> 01:32:07,920
I don't think we need a microwave.

1128
01:32:08,920 --> 01:32:14,920
Now you have to. Can you imagine being the, like, engineer at Makita who's tasked with this?

1129
01:32:14,920 --> 01:32:17,920
I'm sorry, what? No, no, no. They would have a meeting.

1130
01:32:17,920 --> 01:32:20,920
They'd all be drunk and they'd just be like microwave. Oh my God, dude.

1131
01:32:20,920 --> 01:32:23,920
Yeah. Let's go. We'll get blue.

1132
01:32:23,920 --> 01:32:26,920
What a great idea. It's kind of safe. I bet you they sold these, to be honest.

1133
01:32:26,920 --> 01:32:30,920
Oh, I'd buy one. I would definitely buy one as like a flex.

1134
01:32:30,920 --> 01:32:34,920
Yeah. If you're on like a fairly remote job site and you own Makita stuff anyway

1135
01:32:34,920 --> 01:32:38,920
and they don't have any like, like, I don't know.

1136
01:32:38,920 --> 01:32:44,920
This is like if you gave Seb no budget or oversight.

1137
01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:47,920
Hey, you can do whatever you want. He's a blank job.

1138
01:32:47,920 --> 01:32:50,920
I repaired my life.

1139
01:32:50,920 --> 01:32:53,920
And Seb wouldn't build that. Made out of failed screwdriver shafts?

1140
01:32:53,920 --> 01:32:57,920
Seb would build a folding microwave.

1141
01:32:57,920 --> 01:33:00,920
Like, you can assemble it yourself.

1142
01:33:00,920 --> 01:33:05,920
Oh, man. I don't think we're going to do a pocket knife anytime soon.

1143
01:33:05,920 --> 01:33:09,920
And we're definitely not doing whatever that other, whatever that thing, that other person.

1144
01:33:09,920 --> 01:33:12,920
Oh, LTT pizza oven, though.

1145
01:33:12,920 --> 01:33:15,920
I like it. You could have a computer in it.

1146
01:33:15,920 --> 01:33:18,920
You could double as a computer case. It crypto mines.

1147
01:33:18,920 --> 01:33:23,920
But if you made a warming thing where it just, you mounted like a radiator to it,

1148
01:33:23,920 --> 01:33:26,920
like a computer radiator to it. I'd be down.

1149
01:33:26,920 --> 01:33:30,920
Didn't the PlayStation or the Xbox do that for like a pizza hut?

1150
01:33:30,920 --> 01:33:33,920
Pizza hut or something. Yeah. I don't know who it was.

1151
01:33:33,920 --> 01:33:36,920
Someone memed on that at some point. I can't remember. Yeah.

1152
01:33:36,920 --> 01:33:39,920
I can't remember exactly who. Was it KFC? Did a console?

1153
01:33:39,920 --> 01:33:42,920
KFC. Yeah. KFC.

1154
01:33:42,920 --> 01:33:45,920
Do you want a merch message? Have we actually done one yet? No.

1155
01:33:45,920 --> 01:33:48,920
Did we even explain what they are? Yeah, I did. Oh, wait.

1156
01:33:48,920 --> 01:33:51,920
We didn't explain how to send one. Oh, there we go. Oh, you go to LTT.

1157
01:33:51,920 --> 01:33:56,920
You go to LTT. I knew something was wrong.

1158
01:33:56,920 --> 01:34:01,920
You go to LTTStory.com.

1159
01:34:01,920 --> 01:34:04,920
You add something to your cart. You'll see a box.

1160
01:34:04,920 --> 01:34:07,920
There'll be a thing when we're live, the box.

1161
01:34:07,920 --> 01:34:14,920
Then you put a merch message in there and then when you place your order, it will go to

1162
01:34:14,920 --> 01:34:17,920
producer Dan. Hey, there it is. Look at that.

1163
01:34:17,920 --> 01:34:24,920
I would like to, I would like to merch message and this guy will look at it.

1164
01:34:24,920 --> 01:34:28,920
Am I bad at my job or are these guys just uncontrollable?

1165
01:34:28,920 --> 01:34:31,920
God, why not both?

1166
01:34:31,920 --> 01:34:36,920
Sure. Okay. I will now read you one of those things.

1167
01:34:36,920 --> 01:34:39,920
Nice. Hi, DLL.

1168
01:34:39,920 --> 01:34:46,000
Are there any updates regarding cable testing? I got scammed on a Type-C to DP cable recently.

1169
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:51,200
It couldn't do 240 Hertz as advertised and I was wondering if Labs is going to do cable

1170
01:34:51,200 --> 01:35:00,240
testing. So we are currently working on cable testing from both ends of the organizational noodle.

1171
01:35:00,240 --> 01:35:05,520
The Creator Warehouse team is working on the development of our own cables and the Labs

1172
01:35:05,520 --> 01:35:10,440
team obviously is interested in using our cable tester.

1173
01:35:10,440 --> 01:35:16,480
But beyond being interested in it, I don't think we have much in the way of plans to

1174
01:35:16,480 --> 01:35:23,720
start publishing any kind of cable testing. We did a couple of LTT videos with our cable tester back in the day, but the thing that

1175
01:35:23,720 --> 01:35:29,880
we ran up against is that while it's a really cool device, it's limited in terms of what

1176
01:35:29,880 --> 01:35:39,200
it can test. We can't test anything that has a chip in it, so no optical cables, no Thunderbolt cables.

1177
01:35:39,200 --> 01:35:44,560
And we can't test past, I think it was, I'm probably going to get this wrong, it was either

1178
01:35:44,560 --> 01:35:49,600
10 gigabit per second, I think it was 10 gigabit per second or something like that, USB-C.

1179
01:35:49,600 --> 01:35:55,640
And USB-C now, or USB now goes to 20, 40 gigabit per second.

1180
01:35:55,640 --> 01:36:02,720
And is it like USB-4 Gen 2 or I can't remember the branding for it, but there is USB-4 branding

1181
01:36:02,720 --> 01:36:09,280
for what would be the Thunderbolt 5 data rates, but I don't know, I don't remember if they

1182
01:36:09,280 --> 01:36:12,800
need chips in the cables or if they like only work over very short runs.

1183
01:36:12,800 --> 01:36:18,240
I'm a little fuzzy on the details, I haven't had to do a video about it recently, so you'll

1184
01:36:18,240 --> 01:36:21,680
have to forgive me if I'm wrong, but either way, that cable tester would be getting nowhere

1185
01:36:21,680 --> 01:36:26,000
near 80 gigabit per second, it's just not fast enough.

1186
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:33,440
And the tools that can get that fast are not so convenient as that device was.

1187
01:36:33,440 --> 01:36:39,360
They may have modules that can work for these faster data rates now, I don't think we've

1188
01:36:39,360 --> 01:36:45,800
looked into it for a while, but basically, short version of the story is that for the

1189
01:36:45,800 --> 01:36:52,160
development of our branded cables, we used a third party to do testing and validation,

1190
01:36:52,160 --> 01:36:56,320
because we do have cables that are going to be rated for 20 gigabit, and we needed to

1191
01:36:56,320 --> 01:37:03,600
be able to test those in a way that was reliable, can't just take anyone's word for it if we're

1192
01:37:03,600 --> 01:37:07,400
going to put our label on the product.

1193
01:37:07,400 --> 01:37:14,520
I'm very excited about the cables, they're chunky, they're like noticeably contribute

1194
01:37:14,520 --> 01:37:20,800
to the weight of what I'm carrying, but I trust it, it works every time.

1195
01:37:20,800 --> 01:37:27,520
There was a fun moment down in that city that we were in, doing the land house tour thing,

1196
01:37:27,520 --> 01:37:32,120
where if somebody was, I think we were talking about LTT Store and how we make good stuff,

1197
01:37:32,120 --> 01:37:38,520
and then somebody there was like- Oh no, I think they know where the city is, people know where the land house is, that's

1198
01:37:38,520 --> 01:37:43,160
in Austin. Yeah, I just wasn't sure, but somebody there was like, oh, you should make USB cables,

1199
01:37:43,160 --> 01:37:51,520
I'm so tired of all these ones, I don't remember, I think it was hobby radio operating, some

1200
01:37:51,520 --> 01:37:56,320
issue with some cable, and you were like, these ones, and pulled one out of your pocket,

1201
01:37:56,320 --> 01:38:01,960
that was a pretty fun one. And they looked at it, they were like, okay, how is it made, and I was like, oh, coaxial

1202
01:38:01,960 --> 01:38:07,080
all the things, and they were like, oh, yeah, it's going to be expensive, but there's people

1203
01:38:07,080 --> 01:38:11,680
that will have applications for them, and there are no other cables like this, as far

1204
01:38:11,680 --> 01:38:18,560
as my understanding goes, so it is what it is. They were like, it's pretty thick, there's no way every conductor is shielded in there,

1205
01:38:18,560 --> 01:38:22,800
and I'm like, don't make me cut it open.

1206
01:38:22,800 --> 01:38:26,800
Really don't make me cut it open. Last time we did that, it was a problem.

1207
01:38:26,800 --> 01:38:32,840
I feel like almost as a joke, you should cut one in half for the product page, show, not

1208
01:38:32,840 --> 01:38:38,320
even a joke, yeah. Yeah, no, we will, because we'll have cable stock, we still have cable stock, we have

1209
01:38:38,320 --> 01:38:48,840
cable stock now, we could show it to people. But yeah, no, they are very, very high quality cables, and I'm very, very excited for them

1210
01:38:48,840 --> 01:38:53,880
to arrive at some point eventually. We're working on it, we're going to do it right.

1211
01:38:53,880 --> 01:38:59,720
And then if USB cables are a success, we'd like to do more than that.

1212
01:38:59,720 --> 01:39:05,440
I don't think we're going to get into fiber optic anytime soon, so we're going to do quality

1213
01:39:05,560 --> 01:39:10,240
copper conductor cables, and then we will see how it goes, I mean, who knows, maybe

1214
01:39:10,240 --> 01:39:16,160
it'll be a huge smash hit for us, and we'll be like, oh, we'd be crazy to not invest in

1215
01:39:16,160 --> 01:39:19,760
figuring out optical cables, but we need to get this over the line first.

1216
01:39:19,760 --> 01:39:26,560
Yeah, gotta do one. Sometimes I wonder what our business would be like if we took a more like, just like,

1217
01:39:26,560 --> 01:39:33,440
go hard approach, like we kind of did a middle ground approach, and that didn't work very

1218
01:39:33,440 --> 01:39:38,040
well, where we hired people without proper management structures, but there's other ways

1219
01:39:38,040 --> 01:39:43,600
to do things, like you can go out and look at how Mr. Beast did Feastables.

1220
01:39:43,600 --> 01:39:47,600
It's not like he tried to be the CEO of a chocolate company, he just hired a team of

1221
01:39:47,600 --> 01:39:52,040
experienced people from the snack industry and was like, okay, go.

1222
01:39:52,040 --> 01:39:57,640
And you can see it reflected in the lower profitability, obviously.

1223
01:39:57,640 --> 01:40:02,400
I think the numbers were something like 30 million on 300 million in sales or something

1224
01:40:02,400 --> 01:40:05,640
like that. But still, that's like, that's healthy enough.

1225
01:40:05,640 --> 01:40:10,720
It's 30 million dollars. I was just surprised to see that he's apparently still losing money on the video production

1226
01:40:10,720 --> 01:40:15,240
side. They've taken what, like 450 million in investment.

1227
01:40:15,240 --> 01:40:20,000
Some of these, like, I don't know, I hear ya.

1228
01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:24,960
Some of the stuff that they do though, it's like, oh God, yeah, that would be really expensive.

1229
01:40:24,960 --> 01:40:28,600
Like unfathomably expensive.

1230
01:40:28,600 --> 01:40:33,240
I just don't really understand why he bothers to do that anymore.

1231
01:40:33,240 --> 01:40:37,120
Some of the more humanitarian philanthropic stuff, sure, yeah, absolutely.

1232
01:40:37,120 --> 01:40:40,920
But some of the just like spectacular stuff. A lot of that's on another channel. Yeah.

1233
01:40:40,920 --> 01:40:46,160
But some of the, well, not always. Like the blindness one was not. Yeah, he just, he has Mr. Beast philanthropy.

1234
01:40:46,160 --> 01:40:53,400
Oh, no, I know. But just like the, for the, just the spectacle videos, I just feel like he doesn't really,

1235
01:40:53,400 --> 01:41:01,800
he's such a creative guy. I feel like he just doesn't have to rely on a big price tag anymore, but he, and sometimes

1236
01:41:01,840 --> 01:41:05,680
it's not just, you know, like a bigger prize or a more expensive, you know, Lamborghini

1237
01:41:05,680 --> 01:41:12,840
and a crushing machine or whatever. Like sometimes it comes more down to elaborate sets and, and just doing things in a, in a

1238
01:41:12,840 --> 01:41:20,600
novel way. But I, it just seems like at some point it might be nice to, to make that a sustainable

1239
01:41:20,600 --> 01:41:24,360
machine as well.

1240
01:41:24,360 --> 01:41:26,920
Those things could both be true. That's a nice hat.

1241
01:41:27,360 --> 01:41:33,600
I love how, I love how he got like super canceled and just, it didn't matter at all.

1242
01:41:33,600 --> 01:41:40,080
Just looking at his channel right now. Well, I mean, it's not like he's, you know, his influence is important or anything.

1243
01:41:40,080 --> 01:41:44,120
It's not like he's, he, you know, an error on a graph could potentially make someone

1244
01:41:44,120 --> 01:41:48,040
buy the wrong graphics card and regret it for the rest of their life. That's true.

1245
01:41:48,040 --> 01:41:51,040
So. That's true. We have to have different standards for different people.

1246
01:41:51,040 --> 01:41:54,800
Yeah. It's all about the importance of, you know, what's going on.

1247
01:41:54,800 --> 01:41:58,240
Like someone's gaming. That could be impacted.

1248
01:41:58,240 --> 01:42:01,240
That's a life. Think about it. That's a life.

1249
01:42:01,240 --> 01:42:04,240
Think about it. Imagine that life went on without ray tracing.

1250
01:42:04,240 --> 01:42:07,240
Dang it. You got there first. I'm too slow today.

1251
01:42:07,240 --> 01:42:10,240
I felt like you were cooking for it too.

1252
01:42:10,240 --> 01:42:13,480
It's like, I will win this. You got me so good.

1253
01:42:13,480 --> 01:42:18,040
I wanted to get there first, but my brain is so bad.

1254
01:42:18,040 --> 01:42:24,640
Anyways, uh, how about a flow plane announcement?

1255
01:42:24,640 --> 01:42:27,640
Did we do two merches? No, we didn't. We did only one.

1256
01:42:27,640 --> 01:42:35,080
I think I'm pretty sure we did one merge message. If you want to read the, uh, the title of Floatplane announcements after first merge

1257
01:42:35,080 --> 01:42:38,080
message. Okay. Oh, sure.

1258
01:42:38,080 --> 01:42:43,080
Um, next week, we will have a stream with Sarah.

1259
01:42:43,080 --> 01:42:46,960
Let's watch the announcement with audio. Please. Is this another Floatplane tonight?

1260
01:42:46,960 --> 01:42:49,960
Cause if it is, I need to buy this one. Yes.

1261
01:42:49,960 --> 01:42:53,600
Okay. Cool. Cause I didn't plan complaining about that.

1262
01:42:53,600 --> 01:42:57,120
Okay. I already liked the vibe.

1263
01:42:57,120 --> 01:43:01,040
See if the audio is going to work. Sure. Go for it.

1264
01:43:01,040 --> 01:43:04,040
All right. They can hear it. Now you want to hear it.

1265
01:43:04,040 --> 01:43:07,040
Well, it's Derpy dinos. Welcome to streams with Sarah. What am I?

1266
01:43:07,040 --> 01:43:10,040
I'm on Floatplane live next Thursday, where I will be drawing Derpy dinos with your contribution.

1267
01:43:10,040 --> 01:43:19,040
See you there. Is it going to be a product? I mean, yeah, she's just drawing Jurassic Park is that's a pretty timely cultural reference.

1268
01:43:19,040 --> 01:43:22,040
Right. Did you hear them playing it on the recorder?

1269
01:43:22,040 --> 01:43:25,040
Yeah. No, I, I thought that was great.

1270
01:43:25,040 --> 01:43:28,040
I'm wondering if that's going to be a product because I don't think they said like, like

1271
01:43:28,040 --> 01:43:31,040
her previous ones, they made shirts out of it. That's the head.

1272
01:43:31,040 --> 01:43:34,040
That's the head. That's the head. That's the head.

1273
01:43:34,040 --> 01:43:37,040
That's the head. That's the head. That's the head.

1274
01:43:37,040 --> 01:43:40,040
That's the head. That's the head. That's the head.

1275
01:43:40,040 --> 01:43:47,040
Yeah. It took me way too long to get that cause I'm really stupid right now, but that's crazy.

1276
01:43:47,040 --> 01:43:50,040
That's awesome. Sorry, I didn't even realize it took you that long to get that.

1277
01:43:50,040 --> 01:43:53,040
I wasn't. I got there at the very end.

1278
01:43:53,040 --> 01:43:56,040
Okay. Yeah, buddy. Um, cool.

1279
01:43:56,040 --> 01:43:59,040
Yeah, great. Great job. From the head turn.

1280
01:43:59,040 --> 01:44:05,040
No. And the dinosaur. Yeah, I was literally at Universal Studios, riding around on like Jurassic Park.

1281
01:44:05,040 --> 01:44:12,160
I was literally at Universal Studios riding around on like Jurassic Park rides two and a half days ago

1282
01:44:12,160 --> 01:44:16,800
And I still it still took me that long. Wow That's awesome

1283
01:44:16,880 --> 01:44:20,960
But yeah, I don't I don't know because I know with a lot of these previous streams

1284
01:44:20,960 --> 01:44:24,400
They've turned them into shirts or or one time even it was like a poster. I think

1285
01:44:26,560 --> 01:44:30,600
Man, I'm not sure it's some kind of design stream. Oh, here we go

1286
01:44:30,920 --> 01:44:35,640
As promised, we'll be selling the content cosmos design as a poster during the stream

1287
01:44:36,280 --> 01:44:39,960
Exclusively for Floatplane subscribers or as I like to call them floaters

1288
01:44:40,520 --> 01:44:43,160
If you don't know what the content cosmos looks like

1289
01:44:43,720 --> 01:44:47,560
Here it is and I don't have access to neither do I so I can't

1290
01:44:48,280 --> 01:44:52,600
Nice give me a second Dan's working on it. He's working on he's cooking. Let him cook

1291
01:44:53,160 --> 01:44:57,960
Go subscribe at LMG.gg Slash Floatplane not on youtube because we don't stream there

1292
01:44:58,600 --> 01:45:02,920
Well, we don't stream this there. We're streaming something there right now. It's bad

1293
01:45:04,760 --> 01:45:09,880
Oh, that's sick. Oh, that was it. You were only going to show it for that long. We're not going to get to appreciate it

1294
01:45:11,960 --> 01:45:19,240
It's pretty cool It's pretty cool. Sammy had that shirt when we were down at the place. That's amazing and friend

1295
01:45:19,960 --> 01:45:30,520
Okay, next merge message. Yeah, we're getting there. Um with a recent flurry of 30 day challenges is graphene os something you would do and explore

1296
01:45:33,080 --> 01:45:37,160
Um custom phone os I guess so

1297
01:45:39,480 --> 01:45:46,600
It's such a hassle Yeah, it really is awful doing phone stuff is really annoying

1298
01:45:47,560 --> 01:45:52,840
And like it's it's it's like getting into Linux stuff where no matter how right you do it

1299
01:45:53,400 --> 01:45:57,480
Everyone will just kind of hate you for it. Anyway, and it's like why do I even bother talking to you people?

1300
01:45:58,120 --> 01:46:01,080
Um, wow the uh, wow

1301
01:46:01,800 --> 01:46:09,960
Oh, I thought you were wowing at me being spicy. No, no, no, no I I went to their website and was looking at stuff and I was like, oh, they have a features tab

1302
01:46:10,200 --> 01:46:14,040
I wonder what features they have and then I was like, wow, this is really dense

1303
01:46:14,360 --> 01:46:19,400
Okay, I started scrolling and I was like, whoa, and then I kept scrolling and was like, oh

1304
01:46:23,960 --> 01:46:26,280
But features do you have yes, yes

1305
01:46:28,600 --> 01:46:36,040
Wow Wow, wow. Wow graphene os. Wow. Wow. Um, yeah, I would consider it

1306
01:46:36,120 --> 01:46:42,520
It's just yeah, it's such a it's such a hassle and the things that differentiate phones for me these days are just totally

1307
01:46:43,480 --> 01:46:51,880
Not really the os that much like you guys probably noticed that I'm long past my 30 days that I committed to do on the iPhone

1308
01:46:52,120 --> 01:46:57,640
Yeah, I Super duper don't love it. I still have some weird buggy behavior that I

1309
01:46:58,200 --> 01:47:02,680
Have not invested the time into fixing and therefore haven't fixed like I've got this

1310
01:47:03,160 --> 01:47:06,520
This is a really weird one. Check this out. If I when I open

1311
01:47:07,400 --> 01:47:12,840
Oh, this one worked. This is so bizarre. So sometimes when I click a link to a google doc

1312
01:47:13,560 --> 01:47:16,680
it No, no, no, that was user error. I clicked the wrong spot

1313
01:47:16,920 --> 01:47:23,960
It like totally opens a google doc and then I saw I had it today with uh, chewy's community report

1314
01:47:24,440 --> 01:47:27,720
Here it is. So sometimes when I open a google doc

1315
01:47:29,240 --> 01:47:32,040
It's like, yo, do you want to open with chrome or

1316
01:47:33,000 --> 01:47:39,720
Google app or safaris And it doesn't prompt me for anything other than a browser

1317
01:47:40,760 --> 01:47:45,320
So I I don't recall setting it to open with a browser

1318
01:47:47,480 --> 01:47:52,440
Like a google doc link in my email, but I like can't accept calendar invitation sometimes

1319
01:47:52,920 --> 01:47:59,400
And I can't open google docs I just have to go close the app and then just like open the docs app and then go to shared with me

1320
01:48:00,120 --> 01:48:06,360
Um Someone says click safari. It'll open in docs. I promise you it won't watch this

1321
01:48:07,560 --> 01:48:11,000
safari And it opens in

1322
01:48:11,000 --> 01:48:13,000
safari

1323
01:48:14,600 --> 01:48:20,440
Or it prompts me to sign in rather I am 100 signed in. Oh wait, hold on a second. Is that docs?

1324
01:48:21,480 --> 01:48:24,440
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No. No. Hold on. Hold on. Wait. What is this?

1325
01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:31,240
Oh, no. Okay. No, that's just my password manager So I'm 100 signed in because I can open that doc here

1326
01:48:32,040 --> 01:48:35,320
This is this is the doc that was shared with me, but for whatever reason

1327
01:48:36,200 --> 01:48:43,320
I click done. I try to open it here I am literally in the email inbox of the one that I just showed you people like that's a google thing

1328
01:48:43,400 --> 01:48:48,040
Well, that's nice, but it's a crappy experience. I use google for my organization. So

1329
01:48:48,760 --> 01:48:54,200
It's bad. Um, I don't recall. I don't recall ever setting it to do that. I'm not saying I didn't look

1330
01:48:55,240 --> 01:49:00,680
Calm the f*** down. So you need to be signed in in safari and then it opens it in docs. That's so wack

1331
01:49:01,880 --> 01:49:07,000
What why would I have joshua carroll in full plane chat is saying you need to be signed in safari and then it will work

1332
01:49:11,400 --> 01:49:16,680
Why did it work the other time You just saw me open a different google doc and it did work. Yeah

1333
01:49:18,200 --> 01:49:25,720
I have no idea Is it is it specific types of docs like do docs open in one?

1334
01:49:25,800 --> 01:49:29,640
But they were sheets open in another they were both docs. They were both docs here. Hold on

1335
01:49:29,640 --> 01:49:33,400
Which one was the one I tried to show? Yeah, the one I tried to show you was the logistics weekly update

1336
01:49:33,480 --> 01:49:36,920
Which is a doc. Yeah, and that one opened in drive and then docs

1337
01:49:37,720 --> 01:49:39,720
And 100 opened. I don't know

1338
01:49:41,720 --> 01:49:48,920
Yeah You were already in that doc in the google docs. No, that's not the issue. Um, yeah, it is bizarre

1339
01:49:49,720 --> 01:49:55,000
How Defensive people will get about this. I'm not attacking iOS right now

1340
01:49:55,720 --> 01:49:58,840
Right from the very start. I said I do not recall

1341
01:49:59,320 --> 01:50:06,840
Configuring it to do this I left an opening for it being very possible that I configured something incorrectly

1342
01:50:07,400 --> 01:50:11,400
And before that I said that I haven't investigated

1343
01:50:12,360 --> 01:50:15,880
But the behavior is certainly very weird

1344
01:50:16,600 --> 01:50:22,520
My point let's not lose the point. My point was that even with that inconvenience

1345
01:50:23,800 --> 01:50:28,280
The operating system of my phone just doesn't matter that much to me these days

1346
01:50:28,520 --> 01:50:33,080
I'm clearly still using this because in spite of the fact that I have some inconveniences

1347
01:50:33,480 --> 01:50:39,000
There are inconveniences in pretty much everything whether it's Android macOS Windows mimics iOS

1348
01:50:39,320 --> 01:50:41,320
They all have inconveniences

1349
01:50:42,600 --> 01:50:49,160
And it just doesn't matter that much I had thio t3 thio watch your iphone video

1350
01:50:49,800 --> 01:50:53,480
um, oh, yeah he's a apple device enjoyer

1351
01:50:54,760 --> 01:50:58,440
like fairly intensely and

1352
01:50:58,440 --> 01:51:02,280
Yeah, he had some minor inconveniences, but for the most part he was like, yeah

1353
01:51:03,000 --> 01:51:08,840
Agreed I really do think that apple needs to bring some non apple users into their product development process

1354
01:51:09,400 --> 01:51:12,760
because the kind of just acceptance of

1355
01:51:13,720 --> 01:51:22,120
Stuff that is just obviously wrong Um, and when I say wrong, you know from like a product design standpoint, what I mean is inconsistent

1356
01:51:23,000 --> 01:51:27,720
When when there's a when when the same action can do two different things or two different actions

1357
01:51:28,280 --> 01:51:33,560
Actually, no two different actions to do the same thing is fine because then as long as the documentation is clear

1358
01:51:33,560 --> 01:51:37,160
And as long as they each have you know a distinct purpose then that can be down to user preference

1359
01:51:37,560 --> 01:51:40,280
But when the same action gets you two different results, that's not

1360
01:51:41,160 --> 01:51:45,960
great Um, he had he had some interesting comments on stuff like that as well like

1361
01:51:46,680 --> 01:51:52,280
and I don't This wasn't him like refuting your comment, but it was just like a discussion piece

1362
01:51:52,920 --> 01:51:55,880
That Android's the only operating system that has a universal back

1363
01:51:57,720 --> 01:52:02,840
Yeah, of any kind. Yeah, I can't think of another one that does even chromo s doesn't yeah

1364
01:52:04,440 --> 01:52:09,080
Which is an interesting observation interesting comment. He wasn't saying like therefore it should be fine that apple

1365
01:52:09,080 --> 01:52:13,960
He wasn't saying that but he's just pointing out. I think the closest that we've had

1366
01:52:14,760 --> 01:52:19,800
Like on the Windows side was back when escape pretty consistently closed what you were doing

1367
01:52:20,840 --> 01:52:25,880
Or like it still does pretty good with that or went out. Well, yes and no because like

1368
01:52:26,680 --> 01:52:33,880
Programs now they'll want alt f4 or they'll want f10 and then navigating a menu tree and

1369
01:52:34,440 --> 01:52:41,400
Or whatever like there's I would I would say actually from like a from a back navigation standpoint

1370
01:52:41,480 --> 01:52:44,120
We've regressed on Windows. Yeah

1371
01:52:44,920 --> 01:52:50,120
I'm just saying it's not like gone, but we've definitely regressed a lot. Okay short side rant

1372
01:52:51,480 --> 01:52:56,440
Both microsoft and apple Fix your

1373
01:52:57,000 --> 01:52:59,000
When it comes to force close

1374
01:53:00,200 --> 01:53:06,520
Both of you I freaking I ran into an issue on on the mac recently where like

1375
01:53:07,640 --> 01:53:11,800
I couldn't close something and I have to go up in the menu and go force close

1376
01:53:14,360 --> 01:53:20,200
That it makes me so mad why do I have to do that the red button is literally there. I'm telling you close

1377
01:53:21,000 --> 01:53:26,680
I mean close You could prompt me. Do you want to force close? You know, this is not responding. Do you want to force close?

1378
01:53:27,080 --> 01:53:31,320
But just bring it to me. Why do I have to go looking for it? And I want to make this very clear

1379
01:53:31,480 --> 01:53:36,920
I'm not singling out apple here Microsoft for years and years and years and I'd love, you know what?

1380
01:53:37,640 --> 01:53:41,320
Invitation time I'd love to have a microsoft developer

1381
01:53:41,880 --> 01:53:48,360
Come on the show and explain this one to me Because I will run into situations where an app is so hung

1382
01:53:49,080 --> 01:53:52,360
That not only does not click that's clicking x not do anything

1383
01:53:52,920 --> 01:54:01,320
But going into the task manager And it's like not responding or whatever and like trying to end the task the Windows equivalent of fourth close doesn't do anything

1384
01:54:02,440 --> 01:54:07,400
But the system's not locked up and you can make it go away by logging out

1385
01:54:08,280 --> 01:54:15,800
I would love to have it explained to me And and you will see you'll see the app when you log out your apps all gracefully close

1386
01:54:16,600 --> 01:54:25,080
So I would love to have it explained to me Why force close or end task or whatever doesn't just use whatever mechanism they use when I log out

1387
01:54:26,040 --> 01:54:30,040
Just do that Please

1388
01:54:30,040 --> 01:54:35,640
Tell me You are invited to come on the wancho because maybe there is a super

1389
01:54:36,600 --> 01:54:42,200
Sensible explanation for it Like maybe some you know critical

1390
01:54:42,840 --> 01:54:48,360
process or whatever can be Has to be closed first in order to to do that or something

1391
01:54:48,360 --> 01:54:51,480
But I kind of doubt it because explorer seems to be the last thing to go

1392
01:54:51,720 --> 01:54:56,280
Yeah, like you can see the explorer interface as all the stuff that you've been trying to get rid of goes away

1393
01:54:56,680 --> 01:55:01,720
And then it is done and then it's like explorers gone and then boom it kicks you out to the login screen. It's like

1394
01:55:02,040 --> 01:55:06,360
I Also some people seem to

1395
01:55:06,920 --> 01:55:12,200
Be misinterpreting my universal back and Windows thing because they're like oh it it works it works

1396
01:55:12,520 --> 01:55:19,240
It works in a lot of Windows stuff. It works in Windows explorer. What does back like a back button on your mouse

1397
01:55:19,320 --> 01:55:26,280
Alt on your on your mouse. Oh sure. Um, but it doesn't actually work literally everywhere. Holy crap

1398
01:55:28,120 --> 01:55:30,760
I thought I would never get used to alt left

1399
01:55:31,800 --> 01:55:34,840
Um, like alt left key. Um, yeah

1400
01:55:36,200 --> 01:55:38,360
I don't remember what the old hotkey was

1401
01:55:39,560 --> 01:55:43,880
Was it alt escape? I don't know. What was the old hotkey?

1402
01:55:44,840 --> 01:55:49,640
For what going back. Yeah going back like going back in your browser back in Windows explorer

1403
01:55:52,120 --> 01:55:57,720
Backspace that's what it was. Okay. Um, is that it? It was all backspace. I think

1404
01:55:57,720 --> 01:56:05,080
It wasn't just backspace. No, I think it was all backspace. Okay. Yeah, uh, okay. Yeah, well anyway

1405
01:56:05,080 --> 01:56:12,360
Yeah, the the Android one you can swipe to go back In anything at any time. Yeah, it's amazing. I love the the Windows one

1406
01:56:12,360 --> 01:56:17,720
It works in a lot of Windows things, but it doesn't work. Oh, it was just back everywhere literally all the time

1407
01:56:17,720 --> 01:56:21,720
It was just backspace. That's kind of I totally forgot that. I don't remember that wasn't that long ago

1408
01:56:21,720 --> 01:56:27,320
It was like two years ago or something. Yeah three maybe I didn't use it wait. When did they change that to chl

1409
01:56:27,800 --> 01:56:31,080
Yeah, I forget why they changed it, but they they did it for a reason

1410
01:56:31,560 --> 01:56:37,160
Uh, but yeah in your browser backspace used to go back and now that doesn't do anything. Uh, maybe it just

1411
01:56:38,040 --> 01:56:43,880
Resulted in a lot of accidental going back. Yeah, that's 10 years ago shut up

1412
01:56:44,840 --> 01:56:48,680
No, no shut up. Don't even that was 10 years ago

1413
01:56:49,480 --> 01:56:55,640
Shut up Oh, okay. No, what when was it when was it?

1414
01:56:57,400 --> 01:56:59,400
The bad search query 2016

1415
01:57:08,520 --> 01:57:10,520
It's nine years ago

1416
01:57:18,840 --> 01:57:27,240
That's rough man They disabled it they blocked it in july 2016 google chrome blocked the use of the backspace key to now

1417
01:57:27,400 --> 01:57:29,720
Navigate to a previous page in their chrome 52 release

1418
01:57:30,600 --> 01:57:36,200
This was because of reports that it brings about loss of data inputted into a form on a page by

1419
01:57:36,520 --> 01:57:42,120
Switching to the previous page and probably had a lot of miss inputs when people thought they were in a textbox field

1420
01:57:42,120 --> 01:57:45,560
And they weren't yeah, that's likely why I never wanted to use it

1421
01:57:46,920 --> 01:57:48,920
Whoa, yeah, I used it all the time

1422
01:57:50,760 --> 01:57:55,320
Okay, cool, uh I'm a most enjoyer

1423
01:57:55,560 --> 01:57:58,120
Yeah, well just when I'm I don't know I

1424
01:57:58,920 --> 01:58:05,080
I have those keyboards right there. I don't know. I just kind of I'm I'm a sporadic hot key user. Oh for sure. Yeah, yeah

1425
01:58:07,480 --> 01:58:13,640
Um, okay, what I have used alt left often on uh laptops, okay

1426
01:58:15,560 --> 01:58:21,480
But have you tried the alt right? Here you just got to press that key next to the z in the c

1427
01:58:25,880 --> 01:58:30,520
Oh Okay, so what are we talking about now?

1428
01:58:32,600 --> 01:58:37,080
Who knows Speaking of which mark rober is under fire

1429
01:58:41,560 --> 01:58:47,000
For his latest video about lidar that had a focus on comparing

1430
01:58:47,560 --> 01:58:53,960
Camera only assisted driving systems as found on tesla's vehicles to lidar assisted systems

1431
01:58:54,840 --> 01:58:59,720
The big headline grabbing test was of course the wily coyote style

1432
01:59:00,200 --> 01:59:04,360
Fake highway wall that they erected to try to fool the cameras

1433
01:59:05,480 --> 01:59:13,960
And the video was celebrated for demonstrating why tesla's camera only systems are inferior to more expensive lidar solutions

1434
01:59:14,040 --> 01:59:20,200
Across six tests involving a variety of driving conditions fog heavy rain sunset sunrise

1435
01:59:20,440 --> 01:59:27,560
The tesla failed to safely stop before hitting a child mannequin and or a looney tunes wall in three out of six tests

1436
01:59:28,120 --> 01:59:30,920
lidar was successful in all tests however

1437
01:59:31,320 --> 01:59:35,000
This video drew the ire of many folks

1438
01:59:35,720 --> 01:59:42,520
um why Well for the one thing the title can you fool a self-driving car?

1439
01:59:42,920 --> 01:59:50,600
No self-driving cars appear in the video Both cars are using driving assists rather than being self-driving

1440
01:59:51,000 --> 01:59:56,520
However, as I have talked about for the last 10 plus years

1441
01:59:57,080 --> 02:00:00,600
um, maybe not quite that long, but certainly more than five

1442
02:00:01,960 --> 02:00:08,440
Tesla's being self-driving is a pretty common misunderstanding and I can see how much like

1443
02:00:09,080 --> 02:00:15,480
um I made that video saying that I stole a tampon from a store when it was clearly a pad

1444
02:00:15,880 --> 02:00:21,880
That was the beginning of evil Linus. I think I think so. Yeah. Um, I can see how he might have used the term

1445
02:00:22,440 --> 02:00:26,680
self-driving because it was easily understood across many languages

1446
02:00:27,240 --> 02:00:32,920
um And has a strong association with the tesla car that he was using in the test

1447
02:00:33,400 --> 02:00:39,640
Even if no technically that car is not self-driving and a big part of the reason that people associate teslas with

1448
02:00:40,040 --> 02:00:44,200
self-driving is that a They call their control

1449
02:00:44,840 --> 02:00:49,240
Slash lane keep assist their their auto cruise control slash lane keep assist autopilot

1450
02:00:49,640 --> 02:00:55,800
Which is pretty misleading and they also call their advanced driver assistance full self-driving

1451
02:00:56,280 --> 02:01:00,840
And have been promising Next year complete autonomy for like

1452
02:01:02,680 --> 02:01:06,600
Six years something like that. Don't quote me on it, but quite a few years

1453
02:01:07,160 --> 02:01:14,760
um So was that title the best choice? No, probably not. It probably wasn't the most factually correct choice

1454
02:01:15,160 --> 02:01:19,880
But I can also completely understand why you must first publicly announce that all teslas

1455
02:01:20,440 --> 02:01:27,240
Would have the hardware necessary for full self-driving in 2016. Oh, wow. So nine years again. Nice, but I think he made that promise

1456
02:01:27,560 --> 02:01:33,240
In 2016. Oh, he said it would be in two to three years. Got it. Okay. All right. Um, so anyway

1457
02:01:34,200 --> 02:01:38,520
Yeah, the the the title probably could have been more accurate

1458
02:01:42,520 --> 02:01:47,480
The other main criticism is that he was using autopilot, which is outdated

1459
02:01:48,120 --> 02:01:54,520
Tesla's full self-driving system that again does not allow the car to drive itself unattended

1460
02:01:54,600 --> 02:01:59,800
It requires constant human supervision is far more advanced than the autopilot system and

1461
02:02:00,440 --> 02:02:11,720
um has received more updates However, that doesn't really change the point of his video, which is that um, both autopilot and full self-driving rely entirely on cameras

1462
02:02:12,200 --> 02:02:15,480
cameras which Have fundamental limitations

1463
02:02:16,360 --> 02:02:20,440
Um, rober has not disclosed which version of tesla autopilot he tested

1464
02:02:20,920 --> 02:02:24,680
Uh, and tesla plan to roll out the ability to use full self-driving without a driver in june

1465
02:02:24,760 --> 02:02:27,720
Uh, yeah, I'm not I'm not even gonna say that a tesla

1466
02:02:28,360 --> 02:02:32,200
Why is it this is this is this is the MSI, uh, the MSI

1467
02:02:33,000 --> 02:02:38,840
power thing again So I should just not say anything that a manufacturer says at this point then. Yeah

1468
02:02:39,480 --> 02:02:42,520
Tesla says that they're gonna do that. But hey, they first said

1469
02:02:43,320 --> 02:02:50,200
Uh, that it was coming later this year like many many years ago. Yeah, specifically in 2019. Um, or wait, where is it?

1470
02:02:51,480 --> 02:02:55,240
In 2020 must claimed full self-driving will be featured complete by the end of the year

1471
02:02:55,240 --> 02:03:00,680
That was the first time that it was like Within a year that he claimed it would happen as far as my understanding goes

1472
02:03:01,400 --> 02:03:05,080
Based on this timeline that I found which might not be right. Someone else said it. I gotta be careful

1473
02:03:06,440 --> 02:03:08,440
so in summary, um

1474
02:03:09,720 --> 02:03:18,040
I think that we're kind of missing Missing the forest for the trees here a little bit the point of the test and like man people are getting so

1475
02:03:18,840 --> 02:03:21,640
hung up on them. I think it's the timing right this road

1476
02:03:22,440 --> 02:03:27,400
Robert was talking about how I I think they were like planning this video from from last year

1477
02:03:27,960 --> 02:03:34,120
um, he's not Uh, apparently an investor in any company involved

1478
02:03:34,600 --> 02:03:37,480
Um, and didn't get paid by that company with the lidar cars

1479
02:03:37,800 --> 02:03:43,160
They just provided one of the cars and he's openly planning on like buying a new tesla soon

1480
02:03:43,800 --> 02:03:49,080
Because he wants to like upgrade the one that he has. He's like, I'm not a tesla hater. I'm not against them

1481
02:03:49,160 --> 02:03:53,160
I'm going to buy another one. You're like targeting the wrong person, which

1482
02:03:54,200 --> 02:03:57,880
I think is hilarious personally. I don't I don't know about anybody else

1483
02:03:57,880 --> 02:04:03,480
But I think it's funny But I think it's the the timing with the stock going down and the tesla protests all happening right now

1484
02:04:03,720 --> 02:04:07,720
And a lot of people just not understanding even sort of at all

1485
02:04:07,720 --> 02:04:14,680
That video production has like timelines and this was definitely started a long time ago and was not planned to drop during like

1486
02:04:15,560 --> 02:04:19,560
Uh, a tesla stock on fire everyone lighting cars on fire

1487
02:04:20,600 --> 02:04:24,200
anti nazi protests arc

1488
02:04:24,200 --> 02:04:31,000
You just you just never know what's going to happen The world's crazy. Casper Explorer asks what happened to using both in conjunction

1489
02:04:32,440 --> 02:04:41,240
Good question tesla not only stopped shipping cars with lidar in them. They actually deactivated the lidar that is in

1490
02:04:42,120 --> 02:04:45,880
Any of their existing fleet of cars that do have lidar installed in them

1491
02:04:46,280 --> 02:04:50,200
And that was in the interest of building their full self-driving capabilities

1492
02:04:50,680 --> 02:04:55,960
Using only cameras the really baffling to me the really baffling thing to me is that uh

1493
02:04:56,040 --> 02:04:59,240
And I actually didn't even realize this until I was reading up on this

1494
02:04:59,720 --> 02:05:05,000
Is that tesla not only realized just on cameras, but they don't even have stereoscopic vision

1495
02:05:05,880 --> 02:05:12,280
With their cameras. Oh I did not know that and you guys correct me in the chat if i'm wrong, but that was something

1496
02:05:12,440 --> 02:05:19,240
That'd be too many cameras. Sorry. It wasn't a lidar. It was radar. Wasn't it? We're gluing panels on around here. We can't we can't double up the cameras. Hold on. They never had lidar. Hold on. Hold on

1497
02:05:19,240 --> 02:05:21,240
Hold on. What did they have in radar?

1498
02:05:22,520 --> 02:05:24,520
What did they disable

1499
02:05:30,120 --> 02:05:35,080
Ultrasonic sensors I

1500
02:05:36,680 --> 02:05:42,520
Tesla removed the ultrasonic sensors Oh, sorry guys transition to camera only driver assist ultrasonic. That's right

1501
02:05:42,520 --> 02:05:48,440
They didn't use lidar because lidar was really expensive back then lidar costs have come down though and that's why

1502
02:05:49,080 --> 02:05:57,320
um And that's why other cars are coming equipped. Well, my thank you. Thank you for that just detected Linus who just lied

1503
02:05:57,800 --> 02:05:59,800
They do have a one-dimensional

1504
02:06:02,680 --> 02:06:09,960
Distance sensor. So there you go. I would I would have thought that they would want like stereo vision with the cameras though

1505
02:06:10,360 --> 02:06:15,400
Too many cameras. Yeah, maybe yeah, maybe too many. I like I said earlier. We're gluing on panels over here. We're not buying extra cameras

1506
02:06:15,400 --> 02:06:17,400
Look, it's not happening

1507
02:06:18,920 --> 02:06:23,560
Look we can't afford fasteners. I am not claiming that I know how to build a self-driving car

1508
02:06:24,360 --> 02:06:27,160
But maybe you'd use a fastener, but that's the difference

1509
02:06:29,000 --> 02:06:31,000
That's the difference

1510
02:06:32,600 --> 02:06:40,360
I'm not claiming to build a self-driving car And the point of marx test the point of marx test was simply to show that there are limitations

1511
02:06:40,920 --> 02:06:43,800
in a camera only system that are going to be

1512
02:06:44,840 --> 02:06:48,120
Not just difficult but impossible to overcome

1513
02:06:48,840 --> 02:06:50,840
By not having anything else

1514
02:06:51,960 --> 02:07:01,240
Backing it up. And I think we've really We've really seen that especially under, you know, real-world challenging conditions different from what he tested like up here in canada

1515
02:07:01,640 --> 02:07:06,600
Snow is a major factor in the functionality of any kind of camera system

1516
02:07:06,600 --> 02:07:09,880
I mean on my on my car regularly

1517
02:07:09,880 --> 02:07:13,160
I will turn on my car and I'll get like a notification that some of my

1518
02:07:13,640 --> 02:07:17,640
driving assist features don't work because the cameras are like caked in snow and

1519
02:07:18,280 --> 02:07:25,000
Like yeah, sure. Theoretically Um, you should go out and do like a pre-flight check before you ever operate a vehicle

1520
02:07:25,320 --> 02:07:31,240
Like that's that is literally it's part of the rules on your exam. Yeah when you get your driver's license

1521
02:07:31,240 --> 02:07:39,400
If you don't do it, they fail at you You are actually supposed to do a walk around the vehicle and I have never once seen someone do it outside of the exam

1522
02:07:39,560 --> 02:07:47,240
Not even once Nerdles like what yeah, it's it's literally it is it is a very serious part of our exam up here

1523
02:07:47,320 --> 02:07:51,480
If you don't do it, you definitely will fail and I genuinely has never seen that happen

1524
02:07:51,560 --> 02:07:57,880
Jake does I watched Jake leave the building literally yesterday and he did not no, I don't believe you. There's no way

1525
02:08:00,280 --> 02:08:04,200
Um So so

1526
02:08:04,200 --> 02:08:11,480
Yeah So the point is theoretically I should go around my vehicle and I should have a little I should have a little brush

1527
02:08:11,560 --> 02:08:15,960
And I should sweep off all my little cameras and everything But there are also

1528
02:08:15,960 --> 02:08:20,520
Situations where there's a bunch of slush on the road or a bunch of salt or there's a bunch of snow coming down

1529
02:08:20,680 --> 02:08:26,280
Recover while you're driving where it can get covered while you're driving and it's just very obvious that

1530
02:08:27,560 --> 02:08:31,400
A camera pointed in a particular direction can be covered

1531
02:08:34,040 --> 02:08:36,040
Oh well, good luck everybody

1532
02:08:41,320 --> 02:08:47,000
Linus admitting on camera that he doesn't do the legally required pre-drive check that everyone else definitely does

1533
02:08:47,080 --> 02:08:49,080
I don't come get me

1534
02:08:51,240 --> 02:08:57,640
Let's go On your drive over don't forget to walk around your car. You definitely won't do

1535
02:08:58,200 --> 02:09:07,480
Uh max o drive says kyle paul did a video that shows that hardware hardware three on older software on full self driving fails

1536
02:09:07,800 --> 02:09:10,920
But hardware four on current software. It does see the wall and stops

1537
02:09:11,480 --> 02:09:15,160
Uh, what was the can you remind me? What was the generation of hardware that uh,

1538
02:09:15,720 --> 02:09:19,000
Mr. Musk said would be capable of full self driving again. What was it?

1539
02:09:19,560 --> 02:09:22,760
Can you can you let me uh, I gotta find that again. What was the one?

1540
02:09:25,720 --> 02:09:29,320
Trying to remember trying to remember what it was. What was it? Was it four?

1541
02:09:31,160 --> 02:09:36,760
I think it was four. It was four, right? I think it was like two. No, it was three. It was three. Yeah, it was three. Um

1542
02:09:38,280 --> 02:09:40,280
Uh

1543
02:09:41,320 --> 02:09:46,280
Again, I'm reading this off something else. So I don't know but elin muskin. This is a quote. This is a quote

1544
02:09:46,520 --> 02:09:49,800
I didn't say this is quote Okay

1545
02:09:49,800 --> 02:09:52,600
Elin muskin initially stated that tesla's hardware 2.0

1546
02:09:53,160 --> 02:09:59,320
Or hw2 also known as ap2 was capable of level five autonomy paving the way for full self driving capabilities

1547
02:10:00,520 --> 02:10:06,840
That's an ai overview though I didn't say it you should ask rock. You should ask. I didn't quote it. You should ask the uh

1548
02:10:07,640 --> 02:10:14,920
The uncensored ai sure That's actually pretty funny. You should ask rock. I'm I'm I don't know how to do that, but I'm going right now

1549
02:10:15,880 --> 02:10:18,920
Oh You'll have to sign into twitter

1550
02:10:19,160 --> 02:10:22,920
Yikes, uh, what are we supposed to be doing right now Dan? Oh, I'll do sponsors

1551
02:10:22,920 --> 02:10:28,360
Why don't you figure that out when people ask rock who spreads the most misinformation on twitter and it says elon?

1552
02:10:28,440 --> 02:10:35,480
Have you seen that? No, it consistently says elon. That's actually hilarious. Um, I mean you can't say it censored then

1553
02:10:36,040 --> 02:10:39,080

They handcraft rings from materials like meteorite whiskey barrels dinosaur fossils and even world war two rifle stocks

1577
02:12:53,560 --> 02:12:57,400
Thorum began in 2012 when founder Caleb Martin couldn't afford a ring

1578
02:12:57,640 --> 02:13:00,200
So he made one for his now wife Steph

1579
02:13:00,920 --> 02:13:06,360
Not only did Steph say yes, but over 10,000 customers have also said yes leaving five star reviews

1580
02:13:07,000 --> 02:13:09,880
Now thorium has expanded into minimalist watches featuring meteorite

1585
02:13:29,640 --> 02:13:34,600
All right, luke. What did grok have to say? All right. Well first off

1586
02:13:38,040 --> 02:13:40,840
Hardway two okay grok agrees. Yeah

1587
02:13:41,800 --> 02:13:46,280
This was announced in october of 2016 when tesla stated that all cars produced from that point forward

1588
02:13:46,280 --> 02:13:50,600
Would be equipped with the necessary hardware for full autonomy including eight cameras radar and ultrasonic sensors

1589
02:13:51,080 --> 02:13:59,960
Paired with an NVIDIA computer Okay, so this is pre the jim keller version of hard of the hardware because which one did jim keller work on?

1590
02:14:04,600 --> 02:14:06,600
Uh

1591
02:14:07,880 --> 02:14:09,880
Did he do hardware three

1592
02:14:11,480 --> 02:14:16,280
We're going we're going we're cooking Over three. Yeah, okay

1593
02:14:17,160 --> 02:14:22,680
And that's the one that um, wait for it. No for real this time definitely would definitely be

1594
02:14:23,400 --> 02:14:27,160
Definitely capable of self-driving with full redundancy, but now it turns out

1595
02:14:27,240 --> 02:14:32,680
They're actually using all the redundancy just to like run it at the level that it's running at now in its defense

1596
02:14:32,760 --> 02:14:38,840
It's coming to this conclusion by Looking at it seems. Yeah, I didn't actually know that part

1597
02:14:38,920 --> 02:14:44,200
So it's coming to that conclusion by like looking up Websites, which I mean, I'm sure people say that a lot

1598
02:14:44,200 --> 02:14:48,920
I think it would be very hard to define who actually spreads the most information on a particular website

1599
02:14:49,000 --> 02:14:56,040
But if it's just like effectively Googling it then people are going to say elon all the time. So it makes sense that it comes up with it

1600
02:14:57,080 --> 02:15:03,240
I just thought it was funny, but I didn't realize it was just search engine stuff speaking of being potentially

1601
02:15:07,880 --> 02:15:12,440
Minus american cheese is cheese. Well, then it should taste like cheese

1602
02:15:12,440 --> 02:15:18,920
Boom roasted absolutely destroyed

1603
02:15:19,560 --> 02:15:28,440
um So this is interesting. I we don't have this topic prepped. I don't think do we have anything on section 230?

1604
02:15:28,600 --> 02:15:30,600
As far as I know, it's a it's a mixture of cheeses

1605
02:15:32,200 --> 02:15:38,760
Section 230 what yeah So that's the whole thing where you're like not liable for the content on your site

1606
02:15:39,640 --> 02:15:42,360
um, which is a huge part of

1607
02:15:43,080 --> 02:15:49,560
You know why? user provided or generated content at all like exists. Yeah

1608
02:15:51,000 --> 02:15:56,680
So it's an amendment of the communications act of 1934. I'm just looking at apple insider's article about it

1609
02:15:57,160 --> 02:16:03,160
Crucially says that no provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher

1610
02:16:03,400 --> 02:16:07,160
Or speaker of any of the information provided by another information content provider

1611
02:16:07,160 --> 02:16:13,080
Which basically means that user generated content. Um, can't open you up to legal liability

1612
02:16:14,760 --> 02:16:16,760
Um

1613
02:16:19,080 --> 02:16:23,480
Lawmakers are sort of seeking to kill off section 230 which is kind of

1614
02:16:24,360 --> 02:16:30,760
Uh, kind of scary There's support from both sides apparently from both democrats and republicans

1615
02:16:31,960 --> 02:16:37,560
um Maybe they just want to force the tech industry into negotiations either way

1616
02:16:37,560 --> 02:16:41,000
I just thought that was kind of interesting because we were talking about the spread of misinformation on a site

1617
02:16:41,320 --> 02:16:47,000
Can you imagine? If x ink or whatever the company is called was liable

1618
02:16:47,640 --> 02:16:51,880
For the information that people post on the site. You would just you would completely gc sites would be gone

1619
02:16:52,520 --> 02:17:00,280
Like we would shut down the forum immediately That's the reason that I brought it up because that was the first comment on reddit under this was like anything with a comment section

1620
02:17:00,360 --> 02:17:03,720
would either remove itself from the internet or

1621
02:17:04,520 --> 02:17:12,040
Remove their comment sections Yeah, the op asked what would happen to the Linus tech tips forum if section 230 went away

1622
02:17:12,360 --> 02:17:17,640
We would immediately delete it. Yeah, or or not allow it to be opened in america

1623
02:17:18,280 --> 02:17:21,320
Oh, yeah, that's an option too. I guess we could just close it to americans

1624
02:17:21,400 --> 02:17:25,240
And they could have the vpn experience that the rest of the world gets to enjoy. Yeah

1625
02:17:25,480 --> 02:17:29,880
That Was it that was all I wanted I just wanted to answer

1626
02:17:30,280 --> 02:17:35,480
I just wanted to answer the op's uh the op's question here about what would happen to the forum it would be gone

1627
02:17:36,440 --> 02:17:42,200
for you Yeah, and comments on youtube would absolutely disappear which well youtube would disappear

1628
02:17:43,640 --> 02:17:47,480
Oh, yeah man

1629
02:17:47,480 --> 02:17:54,520
Unless they had like an approval team at youtube and like a very small pool of creators that were allowed to upload content at all

1630
02:17:54,840 --> 02:17:57,240
And all the content on the entire channel had to be vetted

1631
02:17:58,520 --> 02:18:02,440
Sorry entire platform had to be vetted and manually. I doubt they would

1632
02:18:03,080 --> 02:18:08,680
Allow an automated system to to do it. No, there's no way especially when liability comes into it

1633
02:18:09,400 --> 02:18:16,360
um, yeah Yeah, effectively like the vast majority of the modern web that is known and used today would would die

1634
02:18:16,440 --> 02:18:20,760
So, you know, maybe they should get rid of it. Shraff2k says no youtube comments. Can we do this today?

1635
02:18:21,400 --> 02:18:25,400
Um, okay people really want us to talk about the plex thing

1636
02:18:26,440 --> 02:18:29,960
All right. I mean we have the notes plex is under fire. I'm I'm

1637
02:18:31,960 --> 02:18:36,760
Here's the question though Luke you were too early when we dropped plex as a sponsor

1638
02:18:38,200 --> 02:18:41,960
Why didn't we warn anybody? That's true. That's true. That's true. You could have

1639
02:18:42,520 --> 02:18:47,480
We could have you could have could have warned them your jerk. Um, yeah, I know just be a big mean guy

1640
02:18:47,720 --> 02:18:49,720
So we did drop plex as a sponsor

1641
02:18:51,160 --> 02:18:56,280
A year ago two years ago something like that. I still use the product. I think your timeline dilated again

1642
02:18:56,840 --> 02:19:01,320
You think so? I think it's a lot longer than that. Oh, I can be wrong, but I think it's a lot longer than that

1643
02:19:01,640 --> 02:19:06,680
When's the last time plexi sponsored something? I don't think it was 10 years ago. No, no, I don't think it was that long ago

1644
02:19:06,760 --> 02:19:11,080
No, someone just one shot said 10 years ago. I don't think it was that hold on uh

1645
02:19:11,080 --> 02:19:13,640
I don't know just do my usual thing Linus plex

1646
02:19:14,920 --> 02:19:18,200
Three ways to start your own plex server. Yeah, I think they sponsored this

1647
02:19:19,160 --> 02:19:24,520
Yeah, plex are sponsoring this week learn more at plex pro week. No, I'm good. Well, okay, september 2022

1648
02:19:24,920 --> 02:19:28,200
I'd say that's two and a half years ago. That's two and a half years ago. That's two

1649
02:19:28,360 --> 02:19:32,920
I thought we dropped him along before then no, so we only ever worked with him a couple times

1650
02:19:33,000 --> 02:19:37,240
But basically what I told them was I'm still going to use the product

1651
02:19:37,320 --> 02:19:40,680
I'll still talk about the product But I I won't take a sponsorship

1652
02:19:41,000 --> 02:19:45,960
This is because this is one of the ways that we can exert pressure on a brand is we'll basically go look

1653
02:19:46,040 --> 02:19:51,720
We're not going to enter into any kind of partnership with you guys until xyz conditions have been met

1654
02:19:52,200 --> 02:19:56,440
And I basically laid out like a a wish list of features

1655
02:19:57,400 --> 02:20:02,680
That was basically their list of features that were supposed to work and I said look when these work

1656
02:20:03,160 --> 02:20:09,480
Um, then we'll talk then we we'd love to work with you because I I do genuinely enjoy using the product

1657
02:20:10,040 --> 02:20:14,120
Um, however, it looks like I dodged a bullet here because they have

1658
02:20:14,920 --> 02:20:18,360
Since we worked with them and since we dropped them gone from

1659
02:20:19,240 --> 02:20:21,240
um, tolerated to

1660
02:20:22,600 --> 02:20:30,040
Not tolerated, uh as of april 29th 2025 plex pass subscriptions are going up in cost

1661
02:20:30,040 --> 02:20:37,240
This is the first time in over 10 years that pricing has increased So they at least do get some credit for that the current cost is 4.99 a month

1662
02:20:37,720 --> 02:20:42,680
$40 a year and 120 dollars lifetime the new costs are

1663
02:20:43,240 --> 02:20:47,800
6.99 a month 70 dollars a year and 250 lifetime

1664
02:20:49,000 --> 02:20:55,960
I mean Okay, I thought the most insane jump considering they've never done it. They're giving us warning

1665
02:20:56,120 --> 02:20:59,080
You've got a month to buy a lifetime license for 120 before

1666
02:20:59,960 --> 02:21:04,120
Um, before it goes up to 250. Okay, so far. I'm not mad yet

1667
02:21:05,000 --> 02:21:10,360
Wait The price increase applies to new and current subscriptions

1668
02:21:11,320 --> 02:21:19,080
This is pretty normal I know but I hate that committing to not or whatever, but it's pretty normal. I hate that. I just I don't

1669
02:21:19,880 --> 02:21:24,520
I understand you've said that we will raise the price on full plan at some point. Yeah

1670
02:21:24,920 --> 02:21:30,200
Yeah, would that not apply to new and current subscribers? No, it would apply only to new subscribers

1671
02:21:30,280 --> 02:21:33,800
So we have to do another grandfather thing. Okay, right. I remember. All right

1672
02:21:34,120 --> 02:21:39,400
Yeah, because that wasn't the deal and I understand that from a contract law standpoint

1673
02:21:39,880 --> 02:21:44,360
Every new month every billing cycle is a is a new contract or whatever

1674
02:21:45,000 --> 02:21:49,240
but For me, it's not really a question of whether it is legally

1675
02:21:49,880 --> 02:21:54,120
Allowed, it's a question of whether it is right and no, I don't think that's right

1676
02:21:54,200 --> 02:21:57,720
If you sign up for a service for $5 a month and the service doesn't materially change

1677
02:21:58,280 --> 02:22:05,000
At least not for the better Then you don't get to just unilaterally decide that now it's $10 a month. I don't think it infinitely makes sense

1678
02:22:05,000 --> 02:22:07,000
Personally

1679
02:22:10,120 --> 02:22:13,960
If you look at what $5 was worth 20 years ago

1680
02:22:15,160 --> 02:22:17,400
I don't know if it's fair to say like for

1681
02:22:18,200 --> 02:22:20,760
Until the heat death of the universe. You cannot change the price

1682
02:22:21,960 --> 02:22:28,200
Well, no, but what you can do. I mean, you're gonna have natural user attrition. Anyway, like we have been

1683
02:22:29,160 --> 02:22:33,720
Unrealistically generous with the og's for instance where we allow them to

1684
02:22:34,520 --> 02:22:39,160
Where we allow them to unsubscribe and then come back and then re-subscribe at their original price

1685
02:22:39,480 --> 02:22:44,520
That's actually unhinged and that's not something that I think we could sustain forever

1686
02:22:45,160 --> 02:22:49,800
But you're going to have user attrition. You're going to be constantly adding new users

1687
02:22:50,120 --> 02:22:53,080
and so if you don't like the old rates then

1688
02:22:53,560 --> 02:23:01,320
You just make new rates and over time you will transition everyone there. Yeah, so nerdle saying like unhinged but based

1689
02:23:01,720 --> 02:23:04,520
um, yeah, and I mean I I think

1690
02:23:05,560 --> 02:23:10,360
Your policy on that is kind of nuts. I also respect it and I'm totally down

1691
02:23:11,400 --> 02:23:19,080
Just to be clear but I also think like Not every service can just literally never change the prices for a very significant portion of their user base

1692
02:23:19,080 --> 02:23:26,120
Um, so that's that's just not going to work for everyone all the time in summary for plex. Honestly, what do they actually even do?

1693
02:23:26,120 --> 02:23:29,640
It's all hosted and streamed by you, isn't it? Uh

1694
02:23:29,640 --> 02:23:35,960
Well, there is the lower quality version where it has the um, like if you don't have your firewall configured properly or whatever

1695
02:23:35,960 --> 02:23:38,680
I think they do relay some data in those cases. All right

1696
02:23:39,080 --> 02:23:43,880
Um, I forget what else they actually do that touches their servers. I don't think it's much though

1697
02:23:44,760 --> 02:23:47,400
Unless you are streaming their their freemium stuff

1698
02:23:48,040 --> 02:23:53,160
Glimmer D said I actually tried to change from the og $3 to the $5 tier on purpose and it wouldn't let me

1699
02:23:54,440 --> 02:23:56,440
Get owned

1700
02:23:58,760 --> 02:24:00,760
I will not fix that

1701
02:24:04,680 --> 02:24:07,960
You have to pay three dollars Okay, you're not allowed

1702
02:24:07,960 --> 02:24:12,040
But this is a long paragraph or this is a long uh, this is a long topic

1703
02:24:12,040 --> 02:24:15,560
So I'm sure we're gonna get to some stuff that we're mad about overall. I'm not that mad about this

1704
02:24:15,640 --> 02:24:20,760
It's no different from any of the rest of the industry and the fact that they're only finally increasing their pricing now

1705
02:24:20,840 --> 02:24:24,280
Honestly, pretty pretty cool All right

1706
02:24:24,280 --> 02:24:26,920
The exception is lifetime plex pass holders

1707
02:24:27,880 --> 02:24:33,480
If you have a lifetime plex pass then your prices don't go up and you can still obtain that until april 29th

1708
02:24:33,960 --> 02:24:38,680
However, there are a few other changes coming with the price hikes

1709
02:24:39,320 --> 02:24:43,960
Remote playback for personal media for free is going away

1710
02:24:44,920 --> 02:24:53,240
No way Are they hold on a second. Are they talking like with their relay or are they talking at all?

1711
02:24:53,880 --> 02:24:58,840
Because if it's my bandwidth, how could you possibly tell me that you need to charge me for it?

1712
02:24:58,920 --> 02:25:03,720
Well, okay, but what is this saying like if the server slash library you have access to

1713
02:25:04,280 --> 02:25:06,760
Does not have a plex pass subscription

1714
02:25:07,480 --> 02:25:13,240
You can pay For remote playback. Sorry. What doesn't that make sense though?

1715
02:25:14,120 --> 02:25:16,620
Does not have a plex pass subscription

1716
02:25:17,880 --> 02:25:25,560
Hold on a second What I don't know how the monetization for plex works. So I don't really know there's oh, there's free plex

1717
02:25:25,720 --> 02:25:30,040
I didn't even know that that's what I meant. I thought there was only free plex if it was ad supported

1718
02:25:31,640 --> 02:25:34,760
Okay, I don't know how it works. I'm on free plex

1719
02:25:35,320 --> 02:25:40,040
Okay, you can't like chromecast from your phone, but you can also like chromecast from your phone

1720
02:25:40,280 --> 02:25:44,680
There's a few features that are locked behind it. But you know, I have remote playback

1721
02:25:45,080 --> 02:25:49,480
Um, I set up my ip configuration incorrectly. So when I want to watch it in the living room

1722
02:25:49,640 --> 02:25:54,600
I have to technically do remote playback um

1723
02:25:54,600 --> 02:26:00,360
I don't know so what I would have to do is I have to get a plex pack subscription for my plex server

1724
02:26:00,760 --> 02:26:05,800
And then I could you know Let my parents watch it or watch it from the living room that sort of thing, right?

1725
02:26:05,960 --> 02:26:09,400
Of course, you would never let your parents watch media that uh

1726
02:26:10,120 --> 02:26:12,760
They didn't physically know. I mean like in my living room pulled

1727
02:26:13,240 --> 02:26:18,840
Yeah, they would come there. Although it's technically that a rebroadcasting license. I have done none of these things

1728
02:26:18,840 --> 02:26:25,800
Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about. Just theoretical. Yeah, theoretically. Yeah in minecraft. Yeah, redstone plex server

1729
02:26:26,360 --> 02:26:32,280
um Okay, so I can see why people are kind of mad about that

1730
02:26:33,240 --> 02:26:35,240
Oh

1731
02:26:38,200 --> 02:26:45,160
Uh-oh Am I about to hot take something again? Let's go. We need more than this stream. We only had like five or something

1732
02:26:46,840 --> 02:26:51,080
I mean we need more Plex pump it up plex can be a broken

1733
02:26:51,880 --> 02:26:58,120
product sometimes Like I recently tried to use the download feature again and like still is broken

1734
02:26:58,920 --> 02:27:03,000
um But like if you want a free version of plex then

1735
02:27:03,720 --> 02:27:07,480
use jellyfin And if you

1736
02:27:07,480 --> 02:27:12,920
don't want The free version like if you don't want to jump through those hoops then

1737
02:27:13,720 --> 02:27:20,760
Um, I I don't I don't know that they're actually asking an entirely unreasonable amount of money for what plex does

1738
02:27:21,240 --> 02:27:24,760
Especially if you snag a lifetime plex past subscription now

1739
02:27:25,640 --> 02:27:33,400
um So jellyfin doesn't have like apps and things plex is nice because it's got apps and stuff then pay for it

1740
02:27:33,560 --> 02:27:38,680
Yeah, like it's kind of the like it's not like this isn't food. It's not shelter

1741
02:27:39,400 --> 02:27:48,120
Um, it's not clean drinking water. This is this is a luxury product that realistically if let's let's be real talk right now

1742
02:27:48,600 --> 02:27:53,160
That realistically for a lifetime pass if you were actually paying for your media

1743
02:27:54,120 --> 02:27:57,400
Would be covered in like six which you are

1744
02:27:58,440 --> 02:28:03,400
Of course you do pay for you definitely are We all everyone is

1745
02:28:04,120 --> 02:28:07,480
um everybody so just like

1746
02:28:09,000 --> 02:28:16,280
Okay, uh Okay, maybe there's going to be some more stuff that like gets me but I don't think I don't think this gets me yet

1747
02:28:16,600 --> 02:28:21,480
plex thinking you should pay for their software um

1748
02:28:22,120 --> 02:28:27,960
Especially because I suspect an enterprising smart individual will find a way to just

1749
02:28:28,840 --> 02:28:32,920
Hit a local target and then like vlc into that remotely anyway

1750
02:28:33,240 --> 02:28:37,800
Like this just seems like the kind of thing where if you're clever enough you could probably work around it. Absolutely

1751
02:28:38,040 --> 02:28:43,080
Um, and like that's the thing is you're effectively in a variety of ways. You're paying yourself

1752
02:28:43,960 --> 02:28:48,920
Not paying for plex to do your work around or you could just pay them to not do it like that's that's the whole

1753
02:28:49,480 --> 02:28:57,960
Do you do a video on that? No, I don't think so not that interesting. Yeah, I just don't think it's that interesting. I think it's pretty niche. Yeah, um, okay

1754
02:28:58,040 --> 02:29:00,200
All right, let's let's see if the next thing's gonna get me

1755
02:29:01,160 --> 02:29:06,200
remote playback With a okay, hold on a remote plug for free is going away

1756
02:29:06,840 --> 02:29:11,560
Uh, if you so if you have a plex pass for your server you and anyone with access to that server can stream remotely, okay?

1757
02:29:12,520 --> 02:29:17,480
or Remote playback with a remote watch pass subscription

1758
02:29:17,960 --> 02:29:23,640
Whatever it is if the server slash library that you have access to does not have a plex pass subscription

1759
02:29:24,040 --> 02:29:27,240
You can pay for remote playback for yourself

1760
02:29:28,520 --> 02:29:35,080
It is a dollar ninety nine a month or twenty dollars annual. This seems this seems kind of

1761
02:29:35,960 --> 02:29:39,800
Terrifying from a like a legal liability standpoint

1762
02:29:40,760 --> 02:29:47,800
Why would plex want? Anyone paying them money for access to pirate media servers?

1763
02:29:48,120 --> 02:29:55,800
Uh, totally paid for content storage devices. Yeah, but no, but actually real real talk for a second. Yeah, I know. I hear you. Um,

1764
02:29:56,280 --> 02:30:00,280
that seems completely

1765
02:30:00,280 --> 02:30:05,880
crazy And I don't use that word lately can they still play ignorance

1766
02:30:06,600 --> 02:30:11,000
Like they don't know what's going through it, right? I mean you're just unlocking a feature

1767
02:30:11,320 --> 02:30:14,680
I don't think it's particularly encrypted in any way

1768
02:30:17,240 --> 02:30:21,240
The only reason that that was is they don't log it. I still think they could feign ignorance

1769
02:30:23,320 --> 02:30:28,600
I think yeah plex gets metadata. Yeah, they they do know they 100 know what's being played

1770
02:30:29,560 --> 02:30:33,480
So I've been wondering honestly for a very long time how plex hasn't gotten owned

1771
02:30:33,720 --> 02:30:37,400
It has made no sense to me for a very very long time the content

1772
02:30:38,040 --> 02:30:43,320
Yeah, but again the whole metadata thing you explained the metadata thing to me years ago, but if they're relaying it

1773
02:30:45,000 --> 02:30:51,960
Is this actually relay though? I don't think it says relay Well, if the if the person so here's a hypothetical scenario and guys correct me if I'm wrong here

1774
02:30:52,200 --> 02:30:58,840
But what it sounds like to me Is if this is my plex server and I do not own a plex pass

1775
02:30:59,160 --> 02:31:03,960
Because I just use it at home and I don't care or I have my janky setup, you know to

1776
02:31:04,600 --> 02:31:10,840
Remotely access it or whatever right? Okay, I'm using parsec on my phone or who knows honestly a

1777
02:31:11,560 --> 02:31:16,440
Wild range of other services any number of different things. Okay, so this is my this is my plex server

1778
02:31:16,760 --> 02:31:20,440
I don't pay for plex pass because I don't want to give anybody any money

1779
02:31:20,520 --> 02:31:23,240
But I also don't want to set up jellyfin for whatever reason. Okay

1780
02:31:24,040 --> 02:31:30,840
You that's your computer. That's luke's computer. Yeah beautiful lovely computer the right color lttstore.com

1781
02:31:31,720 --> 02:31:34,840
Um You want to access my server remotely

1782
02:31:35,480 --> 02:31:40,760
But I've told you that If you want me to set up, you know my janky solution

1783
02:31:41,720 --> 02:31:46,840
Then you're responsible for keeping it working because f*** you i'm not gonna fix it for you every week

1784
02:31:47,160 --> 02:31:54,360
Sure, and you say oh, actually that sounds like a lot of work, but I definitely want to access your high quality blu-ray rips

1785
02:31:54,920 --> 02:31:57,960
Um, so i'm gonna buy this two dollar a month

1786
02:31:58,520 --> 02:32:02,520
Uh What remote watch what's it called remote watch pass?

1787
02:32:04,760 --> 02:32:07,960
On what planet? Okay, right, right, right

1788
02:32:07,960 --> 02:32:13,080
Let's say that as part of my even though I can set up my janky remote watch system for myself

1789
02:32:13,160 --> 02:32:16,760
I for whatever reason can't configure port forwarding or I don't want to

1790
02:32:17,080 --> 02:32:20,760
I don't want to open a port and i'm not going to go set up tail scale or whatever

1791
02:32:21,160 --> 02:32:23,400
So I effectively have my firewall up

1792
02:32:28,040 --> 02:32:31,960
If you access it Wouldn't that go through plexus relay?

1793
02:32:32,200 --> 02:32:37,640
Which they know because of the metadata of the file including the file name like that's in plexus store meta

1794
02:32:37,640 --> 02:32:42,600
But are they they're storing it though. No, they're not storing it. They're just relaying it. Yeah

1795
02:32:43,480 --> 02:32:49,080
So they could they could have a government agency get them to start sniffing it

1796
02:32:50,440 --> 02:32:53,720
But if they'd not storing it like this is the whole thing with vpns, right no logs

1797
02:32:54,440 --> 02:32:57,000
Sure, if they don't store it if they're not logging it

1798
02:32:57,640 --> 02:33:01,080
Risen from whatever says plex does not man in the middle of the content

1799
02:33:02,840 --> 02:33:06,280
Um Is that true?

1800
02:33:06,280 --> 02:33:09,320
I have no idea. I don't I know very well because if it's not encrypted

1801
02:33:11,160 --> 02:33:17,320
And there's there's no way that they would Like encrypted if they didn't have to because it would just add burden on both sides

1802
02:33:17,960 --> 02:33:21,400
And the only like my understanding was the only reason that it didn't have to be

1803
02:33:23,000 --> 02:33:26,760
Encrypted was because there's no one to kind of send a dmca

1804
02:33:27,560 --> 02:33:31,080
To right like if you if you if you download through your

1805
02:33:32,280 --> 02:33:36,760
Oh, yeah, no, you're uh, yeah, I would go through your isp or whatever. Yeah, what what does that stream look like?

1806
02:33:38,520 --> 02:33:43,160
It is an encrypted tunnel. Okay, so it's an encrypted tunnel. Okay, so then yeah, maybe they can play dumb then

1807
02:33:44,280 --> 02:33:46,280
Okay, okay. Okay. All right

1808
02:33:47,640 --> 02:33:51,240
However However

1809
02:33:51,240 --> 02:33:53,640
I know for a fact that the plex app

1810
02:33:54,600 --> 02:33:57,800
Does does is capable of logging?

1811
02:33:58,840 --> 02:34:05,560
Like user actions and I know for a fact that the server is capable of logging

1812
02:34:06,200 --> 02:34:10,920
Can they really feign ignorance because I know plex can get access to those logs?

1813
02:34:12,760 --> 02:34:15,960
Although I'm trying to think because I have gotten support from them in the past

1814
02:34:16,360 --> 02:34:20,760
And they did I did have to send them stuff once we got past a certain level

1815
02:34:21,240 --> 02:34:26,600
So is it possible that they are simply just simply not logging the metadata? I'm sure

1816
02:34:27,720 --> 02:34:32,840
On purpose, but are they going to have the same level of like plausible deniability?

1817
02:34:33,320 --> 02:34:36,440
When the user is effectively subscribing

1818
02:34:37,080 --> 02:34:40,040
It literally is called remote watch pass

1819
02:34:41,320 --> 02:34:47,640
They literally have a subscription to watch the content that is posted on the plexer. No, what if it's home videos?

1820
02:34:47,880 --> 02:34:52,440
They don't know plex doesn't know They know

1821
02:34:52,440 --> 02:34:58,680
But they don't legally know as far as my understanding goes. I assume it has to be that way else. They would just be deleted

1822
02:34:58,760 --> 02:35:02,120
Oh risen from the ashes goes plex absolutely

1823
02:35:02,680 --> 02:35:08,040
Has the metadata because they have the community friends feature that's tracking what you and your friends watch and it even sinks between devices

1824
02:35:08,040 --> 02:35:15,480
No, they 100% have it They even have a plex movie database that automatically identifies your home movies. Yeah, every once in a while

1825
02:35:15,560 --> 02:35:20,360
I have a very they still exist then this has been I haven't understood this for so many years

1826
02:35:21,640 --> 02:35:27,880
How is there a Notably like sizable company in this arena that has been able to survive

1827
02:35:28,280 --> 02:35:33,960
plex is also known for shutting down the yarmady plex library subscription services that people kind of homebrew

1828
02:35:34,200 --> 02:35:38,520
So this just seems like them like taking out the middleman

1829
02:35:39,000 --> 02:35:42,040
And creating an environment where people can subscribe to

1830
02:35:43,000 --> 02:35:46,760
Dude, how is the how is this a thing? I don't know

1831
02:35:47,400 --> 02:35:50,280
But I don't understand how it's been a thing forever. So I don't know

1832
02:35:51,960 --> 02:35:58,680
Uh Okay, plex has no way to know if you own it or not. Yeah, but in many regions

1833
02:35:59,400 --> 02:36:05,000
Whether you own it or not is irrelevant because you don't have a license to rebroadcast it

1834
02:36:05,000 --> 02:36:08,840
So it doesn't matter you own a license to use that disc

1835
02:36:09,800 --> 02:36:13,800
In your disc player and watch it for yourself That's all you own a license for

1836
02:36:13,800 --> 02:36:18,600
Or if you have one of those ultraviolet or uv or whatever whatever that thing was the digital thing

1837
02:36:19,000 --> 02:36:23,800
That like I think got shut down so people just like lost their anyway. Um, that's all you own

1838
02:36:25,240 --> 02:36:27,240
Abort abort stop talking about it

1839
02:36:30,360 --> 02:36:37,240
It's gonna get nuked This seems this seems completely insane. I I don't I don't

1840
02:36:37,480 --> 02:36:44,040
But To me, I mean with the friends thing days talking about stuff like this has seemed insane

1841
02:36:44,840 --> 02:36:50,760
For so many years. It's always been insane. I I don't know. I don't understand. I've never understood how they exist

1842
02:36:51,400 --> 02:36:56,280
I well, they didn't host anything But they know stuff, but they didn't host it

1843
02:36:56,760 --> 02:37:03,640
But it's naps are new stuff And naps are gone obliterating. No, no, hold on. No, no, didn't naps did naps their host

1844
02:37:03,800 --> 02:37:08,920
I can't remember the pirate bay used to host and now basically all they do is magnet links

1845
02:37:09,080 --> 02:37:11,960
So they don't have anything but links, right? Right

1846
02:37:12,840 --> 02:37:18,120
So, okay, so what's the what's what's the plex? Yeah, don't go on the pirate bay. Uh, so what's the plex?

1847
02:37:18,840 --> 02:37:23,640
like analog for that they

1848
02:37:23,640 --> 02:37:29,080
They're at Man, I'm trying I'm trying to wrap my brain around how they could possibly defend this

1849
02:37:29,560 --> 02:37:35,160
Because I know for a fact that part of their metadata includes like like the actual file name

1850
02:37:35,880 --> 02:37:40,440
right like it's And it'll have stuff like, uh

1851
02:37:40,760 --> 02:37:45,000
I'm trying to think of like a but is that is that is this a service that's running on your end?

1852
02:37:45,080 --> 02:37:49,640
that's like looking up imdb and comparing it against your file name and then

1853
02:37:50,680 --> 02:37:55,560
Making small changes, but it's not phoning back home to plex because that could absolutely be a thing

1854
02:37:55,800 --> 02:38:00,440
This is what I assumed it was I know the ui Shows the original file name

1855
02:38:00,600 --> 02:38:03,160
Implex. Yeah, so we offer it could be

1856
02:38:03,800 --> 02:38:10,840
Yeah, they offer a service to match the Identified video with a real title happening on your on your side

1857
02:38:10,920 --> 02:38:16,280
Oh, they also happen to like some imdb API or something. It also might just download occasionally

1858
02:38:16,520 --> 02:38:21,400
And it's just like a reference locally. Yeah, as you say if no, and if you configure it

1859
02:38:21,480 --> 02:38:27,640
They absolutely do a video analysis of the video itself because they can that's how they do their intro skip feature

1860
02:38:28,120 --> 02:38:33,560
But is that happening locally? Yeah, that would be happening locally. Yeah, so as long as it's not phoning home

1861
02:38:34,600 --> 02:38:39,400
They probably don't care. This is this is the point that I'm saying is it on the surface level. It makes no sense about this

1862
02:38:39,880 --> 02:38:43,320
What if someone have to not log there? What if someone had on their plex server?

1863
02:38:44,120 --> 02:38:47,560
A file that has simply never existed outside of a streaming platform

1864
02:38:48,520 --> 02:38:53,320
Then there'd be no there'd be no plausible deniability the fact that it has a metadata match for it at all means

1865
02:38:54,520 --> 02:39:02,280
But they're they don't have to log it But they do though. They know that they know that you and your friend accessed it

1866
02:39:03,240 --> 02:39:07,560
Because they they know that you access that content that would have no legal way of existing there

1867
02:39:08,200 --> 02:39:13,080
So where do they know that again? I don't use this so where how do you so they like every once in a while?

1868
02:39:13,160 --> 02:39:18,440
I will fire up something that my now deceased sister watched and it'll be like activity from

1869
02:39:19,080 --> 02:39:23,400
emma um And that was synced to me via the cloud

1870
02:39:25,640 --> 02:39:30,440
Because her account is friends with my account and we both watch that content on my server

1871
02:39:30,600 --> 02:39:37,400
They have some interesting way where they've done this where like your information is stored on on your device

1872
02:39:37,640 --> 02:39:43,400
And it gets like shared over but in a way that plex doesn't store it

1873
02:39:44,200 --> 02:39:46,760
Like is it super live like is it is it?

1874
02:39:47,800 --> 02:39:52,760
That I don't know. Yeah, I mean they used to have watched together. I wonder if that's why watch together is going away

1875
02:39:53,320 --> 02:39:56,280
Maybe I I don't know that for sure even watch together

1876
02:39:56,360 --> 02:40:00,520
I can think of ways that you could dev it where it doesn't have to share anything other than

1877
02:40:01,160 --> 02:40:05,320
Uh raw information about like timecode in the video and stuff like that like it

1878
02:40:05,320 --> 02:40:07,320
It wouldn't have to actually share the video

1879
02:40:08,360 --> 02:40:12,600
Um because like a lot of watch together services that used to work through youtube and stuff

1880
02:40:13,000 --> 02:40:16,680
They're not like they're not man in the middle in youtube

1881
02:40:17,560 --> 02:40:21,240
They're just syncing up your your timecode. Yeah stuff like it's um

1882
02:40:21,880 --> 02:40:24,760
There are there are other ways to do these things

1883
02:40:25,800 --> 02:40:28,040
They just have to really go out of their way to do them

1884
02:40:30,280 --> 02:40:36,440
But I I mean I It is still stunning to me that despite all of that plex has been able to get away with these things

1885
02:40:36,520 --> 02:40:42,840
Like I'm my opinion on that's never going to change But I I do think there are ways for them to not log any of this information

1886
02:40:42,920 --> 02:40:46,600
There's a way around it. It might not be the most efficient might not be the easiest etc

1887
02:40:46,840 --> 02:40:51,640
But it's possible for them to do it. People are asking is it p2p. Yes. Yes. Generally it is

1888
02:40:52,360 --> 02:40:59,720
other than when Port forwarding isn't configured correctly then it seems like they set up some kind of encrypted tunnel

1889
02:41:00,600 --> 02:41:02,760
That would have to go through them in some way

1890
02:41:05,640 --> 02:41:08,760
Let's see hold on there was someone else that had a that had a good comment

1891
02:41:09,640 --> 02:41:13,320
Steve says how did they send these monthly emails showing what my friends are watching though?

1892
02:41:19,880 --> 02:41:25,720
Hold on we're not actually done yet. They are removing the mobile unlock fee. I don't know man

1893
02:41:26,360 --> 02:41:30,520
Playing content on a local network on the new mobile app will be free

1894
02:41:31,320 --> 02:41:37,800
Okay, so that's cool public release coming early 2025. They're also revising their terms of service and privacy policy

1895
02:41:38,680 --> 02:41:44,680
mostly legal boilerplate miscellaneous typogrammer fixes and an explainer for how plex treats universal opt-out mechanisms, but

1896
02:41:45,160 --> 02:41:49,000
It seems like they will be selling user data mostly focused around advertising

1897
02:41:49,800 --> 02:41:57,640
updated Who does plex share or sell personal data with to include the plex activity that you share based on your account visibility and activity

1898
02:41:57,720 --> 02:42:01,160
Settings as well as sharing slash sale of certain personal data to third parties

1899
02:42:01,640 --> 02:42:06,360
They claim multiple times that they will not be collecting or selling content data

1900
02:42:06,600 --> 02:42:15,640
Yeah, there's a point in their to us here We do not and will not collect information about content or titles in your personal media library of or what you've played

1901
02:42:16,120 --> 02:42:20,840
Yeah, they have to not so when those emails go out like are those are those being generated by you

1902
02:42:21,560 --> 02:42:25,800
I have no idea it might be coming from the plex server, but it's like I don't have a relay setup for that

1903
02:42:26,040 --> 02:42:28,680
The second point after that is personal media users

1904
02:42:29,080 --> 02:42:34,600
We do not in all capitals and will not share or sell any information about the content and titles on

1905
02:42:35,080 --> 02:42:40,920
Or your use of a personal media server. Oh little jd97 says

1906
02:42:41,800 --> 02:42:47,160
All they would need to do is run a stun service to help connect users peer to peer in that case. No content goes through them

1907
02:42:47,240 --> 02:42:49,240
It's not a tunnel. Okay

1908
02:42:58,120 --> 02:43:06,760
Man, I mean good luck plex Um, honestly other than the selling of user data, you know rug pull

1909
02:43:07,480 --> 02:43:14,600
Super not impressed with that. I don't know if any of the other stuff seems that egregious to me in the grand scheme of things

1910
02:43:14,680 --> 02:43:16,680
especially now that

1911
02:43:17,960 --> 02:43:23,160
Free Um, open source options are so much more mature than they used to be

1912
02:43:23,240 --> 02:43:27,480
I could see people being really angry back when the options were like air video

1913
02:43:28,280 --> 02:43:35,640
And and this Um, I could see people being really upset about it as it is now at least if you are upset about it

1914
02:43:36,040 --> 02:43:39,160
You absolutely have valid options that you can jump to

1915
02:43:39,400 --> 02:43:44,840
So I would say that would be the way to show plex your dissatisfaction is to to vote with your wallet

1916
02:43:45,320 --> 02:43:49,960
Um, or if you are committed to plex and you don't want to learn to use anything else

1917
02:43:50,040 --> 02:43:55,800
I'd say now is a good time to pick up the lifetime plex pass because the new subscription rates are not great

1918
02:43:56,520 --> 02:44:03,160
Not gonna lie And I I do think that the value is still there even if their functionality

1919
02:44:03,960 --> 02:44:07,000
is Pretty broken

1920
02:44:07,480 --> 02:44:11,000
A lot of the time like I think I talked, um

1921
02:44:11,000 --> 02:44:17,960
I think I talked last week about how I tried to prep some episodes of a of a show and I tried to download a whole season and

1922
02:44:18,680 --> 02:44:22,520
Like one or two of the episodes failed and there was no way to retry just those episodes

1923
02:44:22,520 --> 02:44:25,160
I had to delete everything I had already downloaded

1924
02:44:25,720 --> 02:44:29,560
And then reattempt it and then that reattempt completely failed. It's like, okay, great

1925
02:44:31,240 --> 02:44:33,240
All right

1926
02:44:35,800 --> 02:44:39,160
What are we doing? I don't know what topic was this?

1927
02:44:46,280 --> 02:44:50,360
Okay, um We can talk about this

1928
02:44:50,360 --> 02:44:55,480
Sure The new god of war tv series showrunner says he's not a gamer

1929
02:44:56,440 --> 02:45:00,680
Amazon is investing in two seasons of a new god of war show it was greenlit in 2022

1930
02:45:01,000 --> 02:45:03,480
And the plot is based on the 2018 game

1931
02:45:04,360 --> 02:45:09,000
Original writers brought into kickstart the writing process left in 2024 always a good sign

1932
02:45:09,800 --> 02:45:13,000
Ron Moore is the new showrunner and he has a lot of good experience

1933
02:45:13,320 --> 02:45:20,520
IMDb Examples include producer on 77 episodes of star trek the next generation from 1991 to 1994

1934
02:45:21,080 --> 02:45:26,360
producer showrunner on 74 episodes of battle star galactica from 2004 to 2009

1935
02:45:26,760 --> 02:45:31,160
executive producer and producer on 85 episodes of outlander 2014 to 2024

1936
02:45:31,560 --> 02:45:35,480
But he has admitted to not playing anything since the arcade days

1937
02:45:36,200 --> 02:45:40,600
Fans are upset and worried that he will ruin it by not respecting the source material

1938
02:45:41,000 --> 02:45:43,720
He hasn't said anything about how faithful the adaptation will be

1939
02:45:44,760 --> 02:45:49,320
A lot of recent adaptations have not respected the source material

1940
02:45:49,400 --> 02:45:55,000
A couple of examples we have here are the wheel of time the witcher the rings of power and halo

1941
02:45:55,640 --> 02:45:58,520
I didn't even give the rings of power the time of day

1942
02:45:58,920 --> 02:46:01,560
The witcher stuff pissed me off the wheel of time stuff

1943
02:46:02,040 --> 02:46:08,840
Pissed me off and the halo stuff just straight up enraged me. I knew it. I knew the word. I knew the word that was coming

1944
02:46:10,440 --> 02:46:12,440
That was quite the call out actually

1945
02:46:13,480 --> 02:46:16,600
I knew it. There was no way he was going to use any word other than that

1946
02:46:19,160 --> 02:46:21,960
That was coming that's uh, it's true though. Yeah, anyways

1947
02:46:23,240 --> 02:46:26,040
um, now maybe this was maybe this was uh

1948
02:46:27,000 --> 02:46:32,600
Misreporting it's not in our notes, but I saw something that said that he was instructed

1949
02:46:33,480 --> 02:46:37,320
By the big wigs to to not play the game. Oh

1950
02:46:38,040 --> 02:46:40,280
Is that is that true guys?

1951
02:46:41,400 --> 02:46:45,640
Please let me know because I saw that he mentioned that he like tried to play it a little bit

1952
02:46:45,800 --> 02:46:48,920
But like ran into some quick time events and found it kind of hard

1953
02:46:49,560 --> 02:46:53,640
um I also like I think you said this but I I agree with it where it's like

1954
02:46:54,040 --> 02:46:57,560
If he's you know, if he's not really a gamer, I don't think that's actually a problem

1955
02:46:57,800 --> 02:47:03,080
But watching like a let's play or something like that. I think would be fine. Um

1956
02:47:05,800 --> 02:47:11,160
Yeah, uh, no apparently he tried the game and gave up says steve

1957
02:47:11,880 --> 02:47:17,480
um Which is fine, I think which is fine

1958
02:47:17,880 --> 02:47:20,840
I would say that as long as you still need to absorb the material somehow

1959
02:47:21,000 --> 02:47:25,720
Yeah, as long as you go on twitch or youtube and watch a let's play or something like that

1960
02:47:25,960 --> 02:47:29,560
I don't care if the director's a gamer, but I do care that the director understands

1961
02:47:30,680 --> 02:47:33,960
What it is so that they can represent it properly like it it

1962
02:47:34,600 --> 02:47:37,400
Respectfully it enrages me when

1963
02:47:38,280 --> 02:47:41,080
The whole reason that you paid for ip

1964
02:47:41,720 --> 02:47:47,080
Right is that people love the source material and then you just go like throw it in the garbage

1965
02:47:48,040 --> 02:47:54,040
Now that doesn't mean that there's only like one right way to do this. I mean, we've absolutely seen

1966
02:47:55,880 --> 02:48:01,720
We have we have absolutely seen fan showrunners, uh, just completely destroy

1967
02:48:02,840 --> 02:48:06,360
franchises we've seen oh riley points out that um

1968
02:48:06,920 --> 02:48:13,640
non fans can make like top franchise entries like, uh, tony gilroy with andor for star wars

1969
02:48:14,200 --> 02:48:18,360
um, I also have a personal favorite example of

1970
02:48:19,160 --> 02:48:23,480
A company in this case dreamworks paying to license an ip

1971
02:48:23,880 --> 02:48:30,040
Completely changing Functionally everything and it being awesome how to train your dragon has happened

1972
02:48:30,920 --> 02:48:33,240
Legitimately if not my favorite movie of all time

1973
02:48:34,040 --> 02:48:38,200
One of my favorite movies of all time. It is nothing like the books

1974
02:48:39,000 --> 02:48:45,880
And it definitely struggles the film series does struggle as time goes on to continue to develop the story

1975
02:48:46,440 --> 02:48:52,360
Whereas the books stay strong throughout the entire thing. Yeah, I one of my examples and I I read this

1976
02:48:52,440 --> 02:48:55,880
I don't know a ton about it. I haven't watched the the show, but I read this

1977
02:48:56,520 --> 02:49:00,600
Invincible apparently they have the writer working on the show

1978
02:49:01,560 --> 02:49:06,040
But the show does not match the comics

1979
02:49:06,120 --> 02:49:13,080
and the writer like Seems to be doing this on purpose and the purpose seems to be like I can do this better

1980
02:49:14,280 --> 02:49:17,480
Oh, because people are like very happy with the show. Okay

1981
02:49:17,880 --> 02:49:22,200
Um, and it seems to be just like I got a second shot at this. I can like fix some things basically

1982
02:49:22,760 --> 02:49:25,560
So it's like not respecting the source material

1983
02:49:26,280 --> 02:49:32,200
But it's being done by the writer So, uh, and it seems to be better. So do backs

1984
02:49:33,320 --> 02:49:36,680
And random Yeah song numbers

1985
02:49:37,080 --> 02:49:40,200
New but better, right? Yeah. Did you know that in how to train your dragon books?

1986
02:49:40,440 --> 02:49:42,760
Toofless is like pocket sized

1987
02:49:44,920 --> 02:49:51,960
No I had no idea. Yeah, that's a pretty dramatic change. Oh dude. No, it's completely different

1988
02:49:52,840 --> 02:49:58,120
Um, what what's her name the love interest astrid astrid doesn't exist. Oh

1989
02:49:59,080 --> 02:50:03,160
That's weird. Yeah a good part of the show. Yep. Oh, yeah. No like a hundred percent

1990
02:50:03,960 --> 02:50:13,480
By the way, apparently he officially said that he's a better writer now So he's making changes to the show dragons. Um, they're not like at war with dragons at the start of the books

1991
02:50:14,440 --> 02:50:17,880
Huh, they just like dragons are just like integrated into their life

1992
02:50:18,760 --> 02:50:21,960
Like every kid has a dragon like

1993
02:50:21,960 --> 02:50:29,160
Wow, they are I don't even know why they bothered to license the ip because they could have changed the names hiccup and toothless

1994
02:50:29,880 --> 02:50:35,160
and like a handful of other character names And just like made a show about and it would have been fine

1995
02:50:35,240 --> 02:50:39,960
Yeah, and I really don't think they would have been nailed on it. It is like they are nothing alike

1996
02:50:40,520 --> 02:50:42,520
Respecting the source material doesn't mean matching it

1997
02:50:44,040 --> 02:50:48,760
Yeah, that's fair. I think people interpreted it that way, but I think you're also right. I think that's fair

1998
02:50:49,240 --> 02:50:53,720
Yeah, I think that I think that's fair Elindi says they bought a fan base

1999
02:50:54,440 --> 02:50:59,160
I don't know. Yeah, I guess I'd never heard of the books. I mean either. I don't think the fan base was enormous

2000
02:50:59,480 --> 02:51:01,480
And it's dream works. They're gonna get viewers

2001
02:51:03,000 --> 02:51:06,440
Yeah, I interesting

2002
02:51:06,440 --> 02:51:09,640
I don't know either way that uh, yeah, it's like my favorite movie

2003
02:51:11,000 --> 02:51:13,000
um

2004
02:51:14,600 --> 02:51:23,720
Moving on yeah, good luck amazon Microsoft posts then removes an image of the xbox ui with steam games included earlier this year

2005
02:51:23,720 --> 02:51:31,960
Microsoft talked about combining the best of xbox and Windows and this week they briefly showed what looked like it might be that

2006
02:51:32,200 --> 02:51:38,680
Microsoft posted an image of new xbox ui on multiple devices that included a steam button

2007
02:51:39,160 --> 02:51:46,520
But then pulled the image down when the verge asked about it and xbox chief phil spencer has previously hinted that pc stores like epic games and

2008
02:51:46,600 --> 02:51:49,800
itch.io could one day appear on xbox consoles

2009
02:51:51,000 --> 02:51:57,160
interesting Now you just need to make the xbox store on pc not horrible

2010
02:51:57,960 --> 02:52:00,600
That would be pretty cool. I would appreciate that

2011
02:52:01,400 --> 02:52:08,760
Okay, I don't know. That's kind of all I have to say about that Neat. Uh, what else we got? Roku confirms experiment showing an ad before the home screen

2012
02:52:09,160 --> 02:52:15,960
On sunday march 16th, Roku users noticed ads being played on startup before being taken to the home screen

2013
02:52:16,280 --> 02:52:23,480
Complaints started popping up on the forum. It's occurred on both roku tvs and streaming sticks and multiple users reported seeing an ad for

2014
02:52:24,360 --> 02:52:30,440
Mona too a roku spokesperson shared a company statement confirming that this is expected behavior

2015
02:52:30,440 --> 02:52:33,640
But not a permanent part of the roku s currently

2016
02:52:34,040 --> 02:52:41,800
They claimed they were just trying the ad capability out roku did not respond when asked to comment on the community backlash

2017
02:52:42,040 --> 02:52:48,120
Whether this would become a permanent feature which devices are affected or why they decided to use auto playing ads

2018
02:52:48,520 --> 02:52:52,360
We have an upcoming video on a dumb tv. We found stay tuned

2019
02:52:54,360 --> 02:53:01,640
Oh Discussion question. I know Linus hates ads if this happened on your beloved tcl. Would you get rid of it for another brand?

2020
02:53:03,320 --> 02:53:08,360
I don't know if I hate ads I um, you don't see them. Yeah, I can't really see them

2021
02:53:09,240 --> 02:53:15,240
um Add blindness to be clear. Sometimes I do see them, but I also will just like

2022
02:53:16,760 --> 02:53:22,040
Maybe maybe part of it is just the ad Because I don't really have a problem. You'll see an ad be uninterested and then just

2023
02:53:22,520 --> 02:53:26,040
Be thinking about something else. Yeah, like I'll I'll just like

2024
02:53:27,000 --> 02:53:32,520
Brainwarp to something else for a little bit and then be peripherally aware that something's going on that is not

2025
02:53:33,160 --> 02:53:39,800
to my interests and then I'll Be back to it when like it depends how long it is if it was like a low port back

2026
02:53:39,800 --> 02:53:42,920
If it was three seconds like if it was as long as the tcl splash screen

2027
02:53:42,920 --> 02:53:46,760
Which I no longer have to look at then I don't think it would really bother me

2028
02:53:46,760 --> 02:53:52,280
But if if my tv tried to play like a like a 30 second ad every time I turned it on

2029
02:53:52,360 --> 02:53:56,120
I think I would Probably put my foot through it for real this time. Yeah

2030
02:53:57,240 --> 02:53:59,240
I would just

2031
02:54:01,160 --> 02:54:03,160
Sorry everyone

2032
02:54:04,200 --> 02:54:08,440
This feels like a direction we have been going with tv's it feels like it's actively getting worse

2033
02:54:09,080 --> 02:54:14,440
And like a lot worse sweet and hot sounds good I actually have no idea what the deal is with this other than that they're on set

2034
02:54:14,440 --> 02:54:18,920
And I've been told that I'm allowed to eat them. They're on set and you're allowed to eat them. Is that the whole thing?

2035
02:54:20,920 --> 02:54:25,160
It seems like they got awfully prominent placement for just they're on set and I'm allowed to eat them

2036
02:54:25,720 --> 02:54:29,880
Is it like do we need to do we need to like disclose anything here? I would really

2037
02:54:30,440 --> 02:54:33,560
Dramatically prefer we were informed of these things, but anyways

2038
02:54:36,280 --> 02:54:42,120
Windows update uninstalled co-pilot and users rejoice mandatory update. I'm gonna say the whole thing

2039
02:54:42,120 --> 02:54:44,600
It's in the I'm gonna say it kb 505

2040
02:54:45,560 --> 02:54:52,360
3598 released on march 11th has proven to be a major headache for microsoft with Windows users reporting

2041
02:54:53,240 --> 02:54:59,480
installation feature failures rdp disconnects and even blue screens on Windows 11 24 h2

2042
02:55:00,120 --> 02:55:06,120
But to some users delight it's also removing co-pilot from some machines and even unpinning it from the taskbar

2043
02:55:06,520 --> 02:55:13,720
Also impacted are Windows 11 23 h2 22 h2 and even Windows 10 22 h2 and 21 h2

2044
02:55:14,360 --> 02:55:18,840
A microsoft support document states that they're aware of the issue and working on a resolution

2045
02:55:19,080 --> 02:55:25,240
The Windows 11 subreddit seems to be pretty happy about the bug calling it the best update for microsoft in a long time

2046
02:55:25,480 --> 02:55:28,360
And praising microsoft for fixing their own bloat

2047
02:55:29,640 --> 02:55:34,120
Windows 10 is coming up on its like ol. Oh, yeah, sure is isn't that crazy?

2048
02:55:34,280 --> 02:55:38,680
Yep, and I think we're planning some content. I think I was oh man

2049
02:55:38,920 --> 02:55:45,080
I'm gonna forget what it was, but I came across a headline recently that some game or something runs better on Windows 10 than Windows 11

2050
02:55:45,160 --> 02:55:49,640
like still after all this time not surprised man, I uh

2051
02:55:50,600 --> 02:55:54,840
When we do our when we do our customary, you know, hey, is it

2052
02:55:55,560 --> 02:56:01,080
Is it good that this is going away because we've kind of done that for Windows 7 Windows 8 we've kind of looked back on them

2053
02:56:04,680 --> 02:56:09,080
Windows 11 is a bit of a rough ship Windows 10 really does seem like it was a high point, hey

2054
02:56:11,000 --> 02:56:15,160
Like I I don't personally have day-to-day issues with Windows 11 personally

2055
02:56:15,800 --> 02:56:21,320
It it doesn't I get in my way usability wise. I don't mind it. One of my problems is compatibility stuff

2056
02:56:21,880 --> 02:56:25,400
um like the deprecation of Windows 10 will

2057
02:56:26,120 --> 02:56:30,280
force some people to either have uh unsecured systems or

2058
02:56:31,240 --> 02:56:33,240
buy a new computer

2059
02:56:34,440 --> 02:56:40,040
And I think this is like The first time in a very long time that that's been true

2060
02:56:40,680 --> 02:56:45,240
So that's rough A lot of the world

2061
02:56:46,040 --> 02:56:51,800
It's very hard to just buy a new computer um, and Windows 10 computers for the most part

2062
02:56:52,520 --> 02:56:58,520
By that time can do the vast majority of things people need to do on computers can even play a lot of modern games

2063
02:56:58,680 --> 02:57:06,520
Okay, just fine. Hear me out Does this drive a Linux migration? Maybe genuinely like if steam os

2064
02:57:07,240 --> 02:57:12,520
Capitalizes on this. Yeah. Yeah, because they're planning on are they're they're still not out right not out yet

2065
02:57:12,680 --> 02:57:19,480
But they're planning on it. I mean it's already I believe the beta version now supports other handhelds

2066
02:57:20,200 --> 02:57:23,880
I don't think we're we're fully at you know valve saying yep

2067
02:57:24,600 --> 02:57:30,360
Here's steam os install it on your computer and plug your monitor in and just use it as a computer. We're not there yet

2068
02:57:31,240 --> 02:57:37,320
But they've they've they've telegraphed that it's coming. It's coming eventually the year of the Linux desktop might be

2069
02:57:38,040 --> 02:57:46,360
The death of Windows 10 The year of Windows desktop or sorry Linux desktop might not be brought in by Linux. It might be brought in by

2070
02:57:47,160 --> 02:57:55,400
Microsoft shooting themselves Sure, I mean yeah, why not right it seems reasonable to me because like

2071
02:57:56,200 --> 02:57:58,840
People are going to start getting crazy warnings on their systems

2072
02:57:59,400 --> 02:58:05,720
That they have to upgrade to Windows 11 And then they'll check and their system will say that they are not compatible and they cannot upgrade

2073
02:58:05,960 --> 02:58:08,200
And a lot of people aren't going to want to buy a new computer

2074
02:58:09,400 --> 02:58:14,920
Because like again, these things are fine if you do like basic photo editing basic video editing

2075
02:58:15,400 --> 02:58:21,960
Uh Text stuff web browsing your computer back from Windows 10 era is for sure still okay

2076
02:58:22,120 --> 02:58:28,760
Are we gonna end up with another xp situation where Microsoft kicks the can down the road because they realize that the users just aren't

2077
02:58:28,760 --> 02:58:33,160
Going to get on board with it and there's going to be a whole bunch of unsecure systems out there

2078
02:58:33,880 --> 02:58:43,960
I mean, they're absolutely will be if they if they do this Yeah, they're they're 100% will be because people are not just going to replace working computers until they run into like

2079
02:58:44,680 --> 02:58:51,400
They go to install chrome or they go to install steam like steam dropped support for Windows vista not that long ago

2080
02:58:51,720 --> 02:58:56,840
So it's going to be a long time before just the applications you absolutely must use every day

2081
02:58:57,320 --> 02:59:00,680
Start not working on your Windows 10 system, but that will happen

2082
02:59:01,480 --> 02:59:05,560
Didn't we say the same thing for the Windows 7 to Windows 10 deadline? Uh, I don't think so

2083
02:59:05,960 --> 02:59:10,360
We certainly didn't say anything about steam os Steam os didn't exist yet at that point

2084
02:59:10,680 --> 02:59:13,880
And I mean there are a surprising amount of people still running Windows 7

2085
02:59:15,240 --> 02:59:17,720
So if that's what we were saying then yeah, I mean it's still a thing

2086
02:59:22,520 --> 02:59:27,720
That's wild dude, um, I'm I'm I mean I'm rooting for them. I'm rooting for I'm rooting for Linux

2087
02:59:27,960 --> 02:59:33,560
I'm I'm not ready to daily it as long as just there's anti-sheet issues and compatibility issues and whatever else, but

2088
02:59:34,760 --> 02:59:38,760
I'm I'm so rooting for it. I when

2089
02:59:38,760 --> 02:59:46,760
When steam os is installable I want to try it. It is installable. You can install it today on your desktop. Oh, I didn't we did a video recently

2090
02:59:47,080 --> 02:59:51,560
Oh, yeah, tell me you don't watch LTT without telling me you don't watch LTT. I watch I watch some of it. Okay

2091
02:59:52,600 --> 02:59:57,080
I know you do. Uh, yeah, jordan jordan installed it and you know what your system won't work

2092
02:59:57,880 --> 03:00:03,160
You have to use a radio and GPU. Oh, yeah, so like no, it's not it's not ready yet limitations

2093
03:00:03,320 --> 03:00:07,400
Yep, the installer needs some work. You uh, it does not support

2094
03:00:07,960 --> 03:00:14,040
Installing with more than one drive in the system It just automatically wipes and because it's it's like it's like a system restore image

2095
03:00:14,680 --> 03:00:20,040
Effectively, it's for the steam deck very designed for the steam deck. Yes, absolutely. That makes sense. So give it time. Give it time

2096
03:00:21,240 --> 03:00:29,560
But I think it's gonna happen Uh, we've got some we've got some more stuff. Oh big screen beyond two and two e launch kind of a big deal

2097
03:00:30,040 --> 03:00:33,480
I This has been killing me. I've had mine for two weeks

2098
03:00:34,360 --> 03:00:38,360
I have not touched it Because I have been traveling

2099
03:00:38,840 --> 03:00:43,800
I could have traveled virtually Would you have what do you do that on the plane?

2100
03:00:43,960 --> 03:00:48,280
Oh, no, it's pcvr. Oh Tether outside in

2101
03:00:48,280 --> 03:00:56,920
Yes, sir. Yes, sir I am very excited adam was telling me about it today. I am I am actually very very stoked

2102
03:00:57,160 --> 03:01:03,880
How much are they it brings an overhaul to the optics that increases the field of view from 102 to 116 degrees

2103
03:01:04,440 --> 03:01:08,840
Increases brightness increases the sweet spot reduces lens glare adds adjustable

2104
03:01:09,560 --> 03:01:13,960
Interpupillary distance using a little tool adds new headgear and a universal face

2105
03:01:14,440 --> 03:01:19,640
Gasket has clear and translucent orange colors and the 2e gets eye tracking

2106
03:01:19,880 --> 03:01:24,360
It has translucent orange and they somehow made it even lighter

2107
03:01:24,760 --> 03:01:33,720
Oh, it does have translucent orange. No way Glad I procrastinated on the first one. It is down to 107 grams down from 127

2108
03:01:33,800 --> 03:01:40,760
Dude, they made one for you. So even Nice, look look that really does look like compare that to your jacket

2109
03:01:41,480 --> 03:01:46,360
If you get one, uh, it'll match your reversible bomber, which you can get right now on LTT Store

2110
03:01:47,640 --> 03:01:56,440
Look at dad. Let's go. Look at him go Even if you add the audio strap, which which that picture I was showing you guys had the whole thing is just 272 grams

2111
03:01:57,160 --> 03:01:59,480
That's just over half the weight of a quest three

2112
03:02:00,280 --> 03:02:06,040
Adam has some usage impressions. He says I only used it for roughly an hour so far, but the improvements to the optics are

2113
03:02:06,840 --> 03:02:13,640
massive Improved fov is awesome reduction in flare and chromatic aberration was notable even without a side-by-side comparison

2114
03:02:14,280 --> 03:02:19,320
bummed about the lack of improvement to DisplayPort We're still stuck with 75 or 90 hertz with dsc

2115
03:02:20,200 --> 03:02:23,720
But not sure if that's a limitation of the usb standard haven't looked into anything at all yet

2116
03:02:24,280 --> 03:02:32,440
So these are very preliminary And it seems that these new features have made many enthusiasts pull out their wallet because big screen says they've sold more of the beyond 2

2117
03:02:32,440 --> 03:02:36,520
In the first day than they did in the first six months with the original

2118
03:02:39,640 --> 03:02:43,400
Big screen apparently sent us some desk pads that they made using the oh

2119
03:02:43,560 --> 03:02:48,760
Yeah What oh lordy using what?

2120
03:02:52,360 --> 03:02:55,320
Yeah, yeah, yeah

2121
03:02:57,640 --> 03:02:59,640
Oh, I wanted it so bad

2122
03:03:03,160 --> 03:03:08,840
This is the scan for the custom fit gasket which does still exist even though they have a universal one now. Oh my goodness

2123
03:03:09,240 --> 03:03:13,160
I Kind of want one of these

2124
03:03:13,160 --> 03:03:17,960
Incredible I want one too. They should sell that on the store. You should do a collaboration. I'm at the headset

2125
03:03:18,360 --> 03:03:22,440
Discussion question here is how stoked are you about this and are we going to do a video?

2126
03:03:22,840 --> 03:03:27,880
Very stoked and we're absolutely going to do a video both adam and I will be playing with it and

2127
03:03:28,600 --> 03:03:36,360
contributing to our review They sell a they sell a can that you can store it in and it looks like a pop can that's pretty cool

2128
03:03:36,680 --> 03:03:40,440
That's hilarious I mean, I don't know why I like that so much

2129
03:03:40,840 --> 03:03:46,120
Yeah, I don't know what I would use that for I mean, it's like a tethered setup. So unless it also holds my

2130
03:03:46,760 --> 03:03:53,560
Lighthouses Well, no, I'm assuming so it like protects it because it's it's really light and somewhat fragile, isn't it?

2131
03:03:58,520 --> 03:04:02,280
I mean anything with sensitive optics is going to be fragile at least to a degree

2132
03:04:02,280 --> 03:04:06,040
So yeah, I can I can understand someone wanting to use it as like a way to protect it

2133
03:04:07,160 --> 03:04:12,920
All right, what else we got? Uh, you were really excited to talk about gtc. Really? Oh

2134
03:04:20,360 --> 03:04:22,360
I didn't go do you know that?

2135
03:04:24,120 --> 03:04:26,520
No, I went to g dc

2136
03:04:27,480 --> 03:04:31,080
Which happens one hour away at the exact same time

2137
03:04:32,280 --> 03:04:35,320
And nothing happened nothing happened at all

2138
03:04:35,960 --> 03:04:40,840
Oh bummer Nothing was announced there

2139
03:04:41,480 --> 03:04:43,480
Nothing happened there

2140
03:04:46,040 --> 03:04:51,400
I thought you went to gtc We went to go to the actual g dc event not just the NVIDIA side thing

2141
03:04:51,960 --> 03:04:57,080
We didn't even have the right badges the badges that we had didn't gain us access until after we flew away

2142
03:04:57,560 --> 03:05:03,160
So we went to one thing and there was literally nothing there and we went to oh, but there's that side event

2143
03:05:03,160 --> 03:05:06,680
We can go to we'll go check that out too and there was literally nothing there either

2144
03:05:06,840 --> 03:05:11,480
I was talking to wendell the whole time. I was like, hey, oh, do you want to meet up sometime? He's like, yeah

2145
03:05:12,040 --> 03:05:16,200
I'm like going here I was like cool. That's not where I am

2146
03:05:21,080 --> 03:05:26,920
And then I was like, oh, we must be here because you know, there's nothing happened on down there and they were like

2147
03:05:26,920 --> 03:05:37,320
Oh, yeah, it's just enterprise stuff and then they launched I understand it is an enterprise GPU, but they launched a 96 gig VRAM GPU. That's crazy. I would have covered that

2148
03:05:38,120 --> 03:05:42,200
400 to 600 watts TDP I was in the wrong place

2149
03:05:42,280 --> 03:05:45,560
There's a slimmer max q variant from why was ian g dc?

2150
03:05:46,680 --> 03:05:51,960
All the cool stuff happened at gtc Man, how much does this thing gonna cost? I think like

2151
03:05:52,600 --> 03:05:55,960
Rtx pro 6000 why didn't they just keep the quadro 15 grand at least

2152
03:05:56,440 --> 03:06:00,200
Because they're just called the quadro rtx and then we would have all known what we're talking about anyway

2153
03:06:00,360 --> 03:06:05,000
Anyway, there's a there's a flow plane video going over probably one of the least successful trips

2154
03:06:05,000 --> 03:06:12,040
I've ever been on if you want to see it. Cool. It's there speaking of wendell I'm reading a book that he recommended to me it's salt sugar fat sugar salt fat whatever it's called

2155
03:06:12,040 --> 03:06:15,960
It's those three ingredients and it's basically about how the food industry throughout the 90s

2156
03:06:16,520 --> 03:06:20,440
Oh just like before like one of the biggest scams in the world the basically just like

2157
03:06:20,840 --> 03:06:26,120
No, not not the food. Oh, it's way. Oh, dude. It's way more insidious than that. It's like way worse

2158
03:06:26,680 --> 03:06:29,960
Um, it's bad though. Yeah. I'm like a quarter of the way through it. I'm like

2159
03:06:32,840 --> 03:06:39,640
Oh, so like is this what spurred like your like massive weight loss program and everything because he's looking he's looking pretty fly

2160
03:06:39,720 --> 03:06:46,680
These days. I didn't actually ask him if that's what spurred it and that's just speculation, but uh, it was it's very eye-opening. Yeah

2161
03:06:47,480 --> 03:06:51,240
Uh, can you explain what gtc and gdc are and their differences? Yeah, sure

2162
03:06:51,560 --> 03:06:56,360
They're one hour away from each other. One of them is in san francisco. One of them is in san josé gdc

2163
03:06:57,640 --> 03:07:03,880
They have the same first letter same last letter and an extremely similar sounding middle letter gdc is game developers conference

2164
03:07:04,760 --> 03:07:07,640
gtc is graphics technology conference

2165
03:07:09,080 --> 03:07:13,640
They're completely different things. We were brought to gdc and show nothing

2166
03:07:14,600 --> 03:07:18,040
And uh, things happened at gtc and we weren't there

2167
03:07:18,840 --> 03:07:22,280
It was It was very cool

2168
03:07:23,080 --> 03:07:25,720
Yes, it was great. Also at gtc

2169
03:07:26,440 --> 03:07:30,200
The project digits mini pc is now the dgx spark

2170
03:07:30,760 --> 03:07:34,600
With a founders edition or oem versions from ASUS dell and hp

2171
03:07:35,400 --> 03:07:40,840
Uh compact power efficient form factor gb10 chip with a thousand ai tops blackwell architecture

2172
03:07:41,240 --> 03:07:45,880
128 gigabytes of unified memory for up to 200 billion parameters

2173
03:07:46,360 --> 03:07:53,480
And a pre-installed ai software stack you can connect two together to work with models up to 405 billion parameters

2174
03:07:54,440 --> 03:08:00,040
Very cool. And also five billion parameters. Also, they announced gdgx station

2175
03:08:00,600 --> 03:08:07,320
A desktop sized motherboard with a new blackwell ultra gb 300. So it's kind of like a beefed up version of spark

2176
03:08:08,200 --> 03:08:14,760
It has a gb 300 grace blackwell ultra desktop super chip up to 784 gigs of coherent memory

2177
03:08:15,560 --> 03:08:17,560
So if you can afford it, this will

2178
03:08:18,600 --> 03:08:27,880
Be a serious Blow to the mac mini that everyone's just based our mac mini. Excuse me the mac studio that everyone's using for ai right now

2179
03:08:29,400 --> 03:08:34,120
Has a connect s li super nick for up to 800 gigabit per second

2180
03:08:34,760 --> 03:08:40,120
NV link c2c or I guess that's chip to chip for high band with data transfer between processors and accelerators

2181
03:08:40,520 --> 03:08:43,400
And NVIDIA's dgx os and ai software stack

2182
03:08:44,200 --> 03:08:49,160
Pretty cool. That's nuts. Also bell trick says coherent memory. Um

2183
03:08:50,280 --> 03:08:54,680
Uh, ooh memory coherency. I'm trying to remember exactly what that means

2184
03:08:55,320 --> 03:09:00,040
Um, see like I could I could I could talk about this stuff if we were there. That would have been cool. That would have been sweet

2185
03:09:00,600 --> 03:09:02,600
Yeah, that would have been super cool

2186
03:09:04,360 --> 03:09:06,840
I don't want to explain memory coherency without

2187
03:09:07,400 --> 03:09:10,680
Looking at it first because it's been a little while but basically

2188
03:09:12,040 --> 03:09:14,440
Basically, I don't want to do this. I'm gonna do it anyways. Yeah

2189
03:09:17,560 --> 03:09:19,560
Just don't do it. Sure fine

2190
03:09:20,680 --> 03:09:23,960
You're just gonna get quoted basically means better performance

2191
03:09:24,600 --> 03:09:28,360
there Good

2192
03:09:28,360 --> 03:09:34,920
Yep Vera CPU will be NVIDIA's first with fully custom ARM cores instead of off the shelf core designs

2193
03:09:35,400 --> 03:09:41,160
Vera CPU has 88 custom ARM cores 176 threads combines with rubin GPU for

2194
03:09:41,880 --> 03:09:44,280
Uh, I thought I said vary at first. I said very rubin

2195
03:09:45,960 --> 03:09:50,600
Vera rubin 2026 two gpus 50 pf fp4

2196
03:09:51,000 --> 03:09:53,000
288 gigabytes of hbm4

2197
03:09:54,200 --> 03:09:59,080
Yikes crazy time. Yeah, so in a nutshell better performance across multiple processors

2198
03:10:00,200 --> 03:10:04,520
This stuff is all Very expensive

2199
03:10:04,520 --> 03:10:07,640
Do we have pricing? No, but I promise you

2200
03:10:09,400 --> 03:10:16,280
Every single thing announced down there is going to be like Very premium. Didn't they say spark was going to be like a few grand or something like that?

2201
03:10:16,520 --> 03:10:21,080
I think so if sparks a few grand then dgx station is going to be absurd over 10

2202
03:10:21,160 --> 03:10:23,800
So and people are going to buy it for sure 100 percent

2203
03:10:24,520 --> 03:10:32,280
100 percent For sure. I mean we picked up one of the new max studios with the the top memory configuration because nick from the lab said that

2204
03:10:32,280 --> 03:10:38,200
They would use it. So I was like We need one for a review anyway, so I guess let's we will definitely use it. Let's do it

2205
03:10:38,920 --> 03:10:47,080
Yep, I mean that was like nine grand or something like that So there'd be no reason for NVIDIA to price anything below that. That's for sure. No. Yeah

2206
03:10:50,040 --> 03:10:55,080
Okay, is that it for topics? Oh, no pebble founders new company releases

2207
03:10:55,800 --> 03:10:58,840
Core 2 duo Love the name

2208
03:10:58,840 --> 03:11:01,880
Why are people upset about this? Some people are upset about this. Oh, I think it's dumb

2209
03:11:02,680 --> 03:11:06,920
His new company name or the products that we were upset about the product. I mean not the name. Oh, really? Yeah

2210
03:11:07,080 --> 03:11:15,240
Oh, no, I'm not upset about the the product Anyway, the new company is called core devices and he's opened pre-orders for two new pebble os devices

2211
03:11:15,560 --> 03:11:19,960
The core time two with a one and a half inch color e-paper touchscreen

2212
03:11:20,440 --> 03:11:29,800
and the paper Core 2 duo a 1.2 inch black and white e-paper screen prices start at 149 us dollars

2213
03:11:30,600 --> 03:11:35,320
The core 2 duo name explains the whole idea says founder eric midukovsky

2214
03:11:35,880 --> 03:11:40,760
It's like a pebble too, but it's made by core devices and then duo is for do over

2215
03:11:47,880 --> 03:11:51,720
Okay, it's expected to start shipping in july of this year with the core time two

2216
03:11:52,200 --> 03:11:56,680
slated to follow in december the pebble founder also made a long blog post

2217
03:11:57,080 --> 03:12:00,680
Um detailing how apple users will experience less functionality

2218
03:12:01,080 --> 03:12:07,080
And laze responsibility solely on apple who restricts third party watches for security reasons

2219
03:12:07,800 --> 03:12:12,200
For example third party watches cannot send texts or i-messages

2220
03:12:12,680 --> 03:12:16,760
Take actions on notifications Detect if you are using your phone

2221
03:12:16,840 --> 03:12:21,160
I'm midukovsky suggests contacting your elected representatives to support relevant legislation

2222
03:12:21,160 --> 03:12:24,040
If you want to see proper iphone support in the future

2223
03:12:24,600 --> 03:12:31,560
Our discussion question here is are you ready to give up your iphone for a better pebble experience? Yes

2224
03:12:32,280 --> 03:12:35,800
I'm gonna i'm gonna daily it a hundred percent. I'm so ready. I'm not surprised

2225
03:12:36,920 --> 03:12:39,320
I'm super ready. Yeah, I want the color one though

2226
03:12:40,280 --> 03:12:44,440
Like I had a pebble time like a thousand years ago that I color display

2227
03:12:44,440 --> 03:12:47,240
I'm not going to go back to a black and white display isn't the black and white one cheaper

2228
03:12:48,280 --> 03:12:54,760
Uh, yeah Well, no, no the black and white one came out first like originally. No, I mean out of the new ones. Oh, yeah

2229
03:12:54,760 --> 03:12:58,600
Yeah, it's cheaper. Yeah, so that makes sense. But like I doesn't mean you have to get the cheaper one

2230
03:12:58,600 --> 03:13:02,440
I'm just saying the color one. I think I don't think it necessarily doesn't have market fit

2231
03:13:03,000 --> 03:13:09,000
Just might not be oh, yeah No, no, I yeah if it's super affordable and that's cool if people just want a minimalist thing like that was the whole idea

2232
03:13:09,640 --> 03:13:13,800
Like back in the day. Yeah here. Let's go ahead and I want to see it though. Do they look any good?

2233
03:13:14,440 --> 03:13:20,200
Yeah, oh, yeah, cool. Okay. Yeah, sure. It's good. Got some buttons chunky buttons

2234
03:13:20,200 --> 03:13:23,320
I like my buttons. I can press with gloves. I love to see it

2235
03:13:23,480 --> 03:13:30,200
This the these having nice good chunky actual buttons makes me actually want one and I I don't want smart watches

2236
03:13:30,360 --> 03:13:34,520
And I mean, I'm not going to get one because I would lose it in two days, but I really like the buttons

2237
03:13:35,000 --> 03:13:39,720
Nice happy Okay

2238
03:13:39,720 --> 03:13:45,640
Is it after dark time? There is one. I just don't think I care. Cool. Nice. Then yes

2239
03:13:46,600 --> 03:13:49,720
neat Let's go

2240
03:13:52,520 --> 03:13:55,640
He's doing it. Let's watch him do this or retro features. He's not doing anything

2241
03:13:57,400 --> 03:13:59,400
Wow

2242
03:14:01,320 --> 03:14:03,800
We got owned we got owned pretty bad there actually

2243
03:14:04,360 --> 03:14:08,600
Hey Hey Does nothing

2244
03:14:08,680 --> 03:14:13,000
This guy's Hi, WAN.dll

2245
03:14:14,360 --> 03:14:20,680
Normally I pre uh pre loaded but you uh skipped the last topic. So I was behind. I'm sorry. Hi WAN.dll

2246
03:14:20,840 --> 03:14:25,320
I know luke has been uh has played ftl, but have you played multiverse?

2247
03:14:26,120 --> 03:14:30,600
The best thing in pc gaming are those mods that keep adding gameplay

2248
03:14:31,000 --> 03:14:37,080
Oh ftl multiverse the mod. Um, yes, I have. Yeah, uh, it seems really cool. I

2249
03:14:39,480 --> 03:14:43,880
I Wasn't way too into it

2250
03:14:44,920 --> 03:14:48,840
Um, I don't know if it's configurable. Maybe it's configurable. I find sometimes with mods

2251
03:14:49,400 --> 03:14:57,080
They kind of do too much Um, and I I felt that way with multiverse personally. I'm not trying to dissuade anyone from trying it. It's very cool

2252
03:14:57,160 --> 03:15:00,920
I'm happy that I did try it, but it was just kind of a lot like I I

2253
03:15:01,480 --> 03:15:05,800
I installed it and jumped in and was like whoa, where'd my game go? You know like

2254
03:15:06,760 --> 03:15:09,720
That wasn't really what I was looking for. Um

2255
03:15:11,160 --> 03:15:17,080
But it's uh, it's a pretty wild mod. I'm happy someone made it and I'm happy people didn't enjoy it. It's just I don't know

2256
03:15:18,280 --> 03:15:22,760
I liked I liked it. How it was you're getting called out for ending your segments with I don't know by the way

2257
03:15:23,400 --> 03:15:29,080
Yeah, I saw that um, and I'm gonna keep doing it because it's my it's my insurance against people that go after you

2258
03:15:30,040 --> 03:15:34,040
Really? Yeah. Oh, yeah, I can kind of see that but also I don't know. I don't know

2259
03:15:35,880 --> 03:15:37,880
Everyone's way too serious about

2260
03:15:39,000 --> 03:15:47,560
Everything in these days That if you say something they they have automatically decided that you will die on the hill for what you just said and it's like

2261
03:15:48,120 --> 03:15:52,760
No, this is a four-hour thing Where I like 25 care

2262
03:15:53,400 --> 03:15:59,960
About whatever I'm saying at any given time Like this is not he only has one hour of care like the original wandshow was about an hour

2263
03:16:00,120 --> 03:16:04,760
Yeah, and we've taken that exact same amount of care and extrapolated over four hours

2264
03:16:04,840 --> 03:16:10,200
Yeah, like no leave me alone. So I'll say something and then just be like, I don't know because I'm just like leave me alone

2265
03:16:10,200 --> 03:16:15,240
We've got the same amount of margarine, okay? We got four pieces of toast and it's still not butter

2266
03:16:19,400 --> 03:16:26,120
He's awake now. He's doing it, but this is just like a man like I don't I I could replace it with but I don't care

2267
03:16:27,240 --> 03:16:32,360
But they're not gonna like that as much so it's I don't know look guys. We never cosplayed as journalists, so

2268
03:16:33,080 --> 03:16:40,200
No But it's just like seriously it's a it's a like leave me the f alone disclaimer that I put on the end of things

2269
03:16:41,800 --> 03:16:46,200
I'm not like actually that uncertain about so many things. I just I don't care

2270
03:16:46,600 --> 03:16:48,920
I think you should speak with more conviction. I don't know

2271
03:16:50,440 --> 03:16:53,480
But I don't know what you do your own thing. I don't know

2272
03:16:55,160 --> 03:16:59,400
And like I don't even disagree with you. I just I don't care

2273
03:16:59,400 --> 03:17:03,480
It's wanshow. I don't want to deal with some the thing. I don't know

2274
03:17:04,120 --> 03:17:09,640
I maybe I just Maybe I should have added to the placebo conversation. We had a few weeks ago. I don't know

2275
03:17:09,960 --> 03:17:15,000
Maybe I didn't and that's why we ended up in crap. Hold on. I'm being called a bastard by one of our regular

2276
03:17:15,880 --> 03:17:20,680
plane jet dyslexic stoner 240

2277
03:17:20,680 --> 03:17:25,000
Oh Dyslexic stoner 240 says this is f***ing entertainment

2278
03:17:25,000 --> 03:17:28,120
You guys don't do anything stupid like call yourselves journalists

2279
03:17:30,760 --> 03:17:35,560
And this that uh, but okay, but you know what? I think you actually said it before I said it

2280
03:17:35,560 --> 03:17:39,880
So I think you wins. Good work. You got you. You win. But yeah, like that that placebo thing

2281
03:17:40,040 --> 03:17:45,720
Maybe I didn't add the I don't know to the end of it. Yeah, you should like why are you listening to some tech podcast and like

2282
03:17:46,280 --> 03:17:52,600
Blindly taking medical advice. Here's a question. Is this is this even a tech podcast? Not really

2283
03:17:53,080 --> 03:17:55,400
I think the tech is more of the carrier. Yeah

2284
03:17:56,200 --> 03:18:00,360
It's the bread for the peanut butter and jam. Yeah, and it's wonder bread

2285
03:18:03,880 --> 03:18:07,880
Sometimes sometimes hey, look, it's really sometimes you get an artisanal sourdough

2286
03:18:08,120 --> 03:18:13,880
Sometimes we have some meat. Sometimes we have some tech meat. Sure. Okay. Sometimes we have other meat

2287
03:18:15,800 --> 03:18:22,760
The point the point is The point of the point is I don't think that's actually why people tune into the WAN Show. No, we've talked about this

2288
03:18:22,760 --> 03:18:29,240
I guarantee you it's not because like I we have had off-the-air conversations many times

2289
03:18:30,200 --> 03:18:35,640
Where I expressed kind of my disbelief that the WAN Show is our lowest production value property

2290
03:18:36,120 --> 03:18:41,480
That we probably didn't have one bread slice worth of cares to spread over it back when it was an hour long

2291
03:18:42,440 --> 03:18:49,160
Um, but people tuned into it and it was him that finally kind of convinced me that it had a value and that was just like

2292
03:18:50,680 --> 03:18:55,640
Hanging out and like kind of talking about tech. Yeah Sometimes but also not maybe

2293
03:18:57,240 --> 03:19:05,000
I don't think I have any friends in my life Or anyone that I have a relationship with that I would want to talk to about the exact same thing every time I talk to them

2294
03:19:05,480 --> 03:19:09,320
Yeah, and so it took me a long time to kind of figure out why the WAN Show works

2295
03:19:10,280 --> 03:19:12,280
It's because of Dan

2296
03:19:15,880 --> 03:19:20,280
I love how he frantically pressed I think backspace at the same time

2297
03:19:21,400 --> 03:19:26,760
It's like the loudest key inputs you've had all night. No, that was just me shaking my head violently. Oh, that was just the head

2298
03:19:27,000 --> 03:19:32,200
Okay. Yeah, very nice Um, but yeah, that's kind of you guys. Yeah, it's because

2299
03:19:33,000 --> 03:19:36,440
off That's why I say I don't know

2300
03:19:36,440 --> 03:19:40,280
That's why that is entirely why it's because I'm just tired of it

2301
03:19:41,640 --> 03:19:45,880
I've told people before after every WAN Show and I'm gonna keep doing it and I don't care

2302
03:19:45,960 --> 03:19:52,040
And if you want to abuse it do it. I don't care. I'm gonna keep doing it I control that for my name and I look for stuff and some people use that

2303
03:19:52,520 --> 03:19:57,160
And they'll they'll just say my name like four times and be like, sorry. I just wanted to like get this message. Sure

2304
03:19:57,560 --> 03:20:01,800
Say his name say I'm not gonna respond to all of them, but I'll do that because I'm not gonna read every comment

2305
03:20:01,800 --> 03:20:05,800
Oh my god But I'll look for some of them because if something's like important I do want to fix it

2306
03:20:05,960 --> 03:20:12,840
I feel called out right now, but uh And he didn't even say I don't know he didn't even say I don't know so that was full conviction

2307
03:20:13,160 --> 03:20:18,280
Now we're gonna know he's got a tell Now we'll know when he adamantly believes something

2308
03:20:20,920 --> 03:20:26,600
I'm writing a rant post right now about the brewing animosity between these two if he's all like people do get a float blanchett

2309
03:20:26,760 --> 03:20:31,160
Yeah, so then there was this one time when Linus's narcissistic behavior was on the display

2310
03:20:32,600 --> 03:20:36,040
And he just leaves it right there and there's no I don't know. I don't know

2311
03:20:37,880 --> 03:20:39,880
Then I would feel something if I wasn't such a sociopath

2312
03:20:44,680 --> 03:20:50,760
Dan you want to give us another merch message When I do that and I find stuff that's like a correction on something that just like

2313
03:20:51,480 --> 03:20:54,120
Deeply doesn't matter and like actually

2314
03:20:54,680 --> 03:21:01,880
This part has shown through sometimes Because someone like I'll I'll say something and then I I correct myself and then Floatplane corrects me and then I'm like

2315
03:21:01,960 --> 03:21:09,080
Yeah, I know and I correct it again And then people just keep poking and people will see that I like get really annoyed by it and there will be comments being like

2316
03:21:09,080 --> 03:21:18,040
Oh, you shouldn't let that get under your skin so much and I'm like, yeah The problem is because I deal with this constantly and I deal with this probably like two percent as much as he does

2317
03:21:18,200 --> 03:21:22,040
So I don't know how he deals. I almost swore again. I don't know how he deals with it

2318
03:21:22,280 --> 03:21:25,000
So it's just like watches this show. You got to watch your time. Yeah, I do

2319
03:21:26,120 --> 03:21:31,400
But it's like it's ah man And like issuing corrections good when they're matter

2320
03:21:32,680 --> 03:21:40,600
Yeah, and I think this this correction mattered Are we talking about the one today? Oh, okay. Oh, no that one mattered. Sure. Yeah. I'm just talking, uh

2321
03:21:41,400 --> 03:21:46,200
Um more universally like sure. I don't know sometimes. It's just like guys

2322
03:21:47,400 --> 03:21:51,480
Get off the internet for a second. Maybe a maria has a proposal. It's not that deep

2323
03:21:51,800 --> 03:21:55,640
You could just do a blanket. I don't know at the end of the show like I don't know. Bye

2324
03:21:56,400 --> 03:22:02,440
Oh, it's not bad. It's not bad. That's not bad It would be a nice it would be a nice in in joke for

2325
03:22:02,440 --> 03:22:05,240

2329
03:22:49,800 --> 03:22:51,800
I

2330
03:22:57,640 --> 03:23:04,040
Yeah, sure Do you want to make it like slightly like just give me a second here unsure

2331
03:23:06,760 --> 03:23:12,800
Or you just copy-paste it I could have doesn't care. That's not bad. That's not bad doesn't no one doesn't care

2332
03:23:16,960 --> 03:23:24,480
Man Someone's gonna do did you see that every word from the WAN Show in alphabetical order video

2333
03:23:24,520 --> 03:23:26,520
This one's gonna do that, but with this episode

2334
03:23:49,960 --> 03:23:54,480
Wow Okay

2335
03:23:55,840 --> 03:23:59,960
Okay Hey bad cholesterol

2336
03:24:00,040 --> 03:24:03,960
Question for Luke. I don't know as a machine learning researcher

2337
03:24:03,960 --> 03:24:10,220
I was surprised that you said you'd never used macOS since most people I know in the field to use that or Linux. Why?

2338
03:24:12,440 --> 03:24:14,960
Just don't like it it it, um

2339
03:24:15,960 --> 03:24:22,200
And I mean the the Mac means and stuff are like amazing and and by never used see this is this is

2340
03:24:23,200 --> 03:24:28,000
This person's great, but this is my point by never use. I didn't mean

2341
03:24:28,600 --> 03:24:31,680
Literally never use I meant I've never like mainlined it

2342
03:24:32,200 --> 03:24:36,680
Like I've you I've used it. I have I have I have used it

2343
03:24:36,680 --> 03:24:43,920
I just mean it's not like running on any of the computers that I daily that that's what I meant by that and it never has

2344
03:24:43,960 --> 03:24:48,560
I've never dailyed a Apple operating system

2345
03:24:48,560 --> 03:24:52,520
And that's that's what I meant by that so yeah, you're not going after this person

2346
03:24:52,520 --> 03:24:56,080
But this is this is what I mean by when I had I don't know it's just the like

2347
03:24:58,240 --> 03:25:04,120
There's probably 17 different ways to interpret what I just said and most of them are wrong you'd be a terrible witness

2348
03:25:05,920 --> 03:25:12,840
Terrible where were you on the night of January 32nd? I was probably at home doing whatever, but I don't know yeah

2349
03:25:13,840 --> 03:25:21,040
So you're going to January 32nd you are going to jail because I actually know exactly where I was on January 31st accurately I

2350
03:25:21,920 --> 03:25:25,640
Know for sure did I say January 32nd? I think you said 32nd

2351
03:25:26,680 --> 03:25:33,000
Am I wrong well? It's January 32nd somewhere. I just crossed time zones

2352
03:25:34,120 --> 03:25:40,080
Apparently you did, but I don't know Cool. We'd have to watch the tape back. It's amazing that I was functional

2353
03:25:43,840 --> 03:25:45,840
Oh

2354
03:25:47,560 --> 03:25:49,840
Maybe I'll just turn these into buttons for you guys

2355
03:25:54,600 --> 03:25:58,960
So Luke you got a narcissist button and Linus gets it does not know

2356
03:26:03,000 --> 03:26:06,320
Genuinely be so good. Oh my god

2357
03:26:07,680 --> 03:26:11,720
What are we even saying? Oh, yeah, so I like I've I've used it

2358
03:26:12,840 --> 03:26:17,560
I just I don't know something about I've told this story before too. My mom had an Android phone for a long time

2359
03:26:21,600 --> 03:26:28,400
And she struggled with it forever and then she got an iPhone because she needed to because he's working in the film industry

2360
03:26:28,400 --> 03:26:37,600
And they use like airdrop and a lot of things like that And within a day she was way better with her iPhone than she ever was with her Android. It just clicked

2361
03:26:38,400 --> 03:26:42,480
I'm the opposite of that. I find the iPhone just the clunky

2362
03:26:42,520 --> 03:26:49,120
And unintuitive. Yeah, and that is similar to me with macOS. It just doesn't feel right. Something feels wrong

2363
03:26:49,120 --> 03:26:51,120
I find Linux easier to use than macOS

2364
03:26:52,120 --> 03:26:56,080
I'm not saying that's right. It just feels that weird to me

2365
03:26:56,080 --> 03:27:01,560
I think a big part of the issue for me is just the slowness of the animations that feels really weird. I had to use a

2366
03:27:02,280 --> 03:27:08,600
I Think you mentioned a review, but I had to backspace on something recently a Mac book. Oh hold it down

2367
03:27:08,640 --> 03:27:12,040
It's like takes a thousand speaking of never using macOS

2368
03:27:12,040 --> 03:27:14,840
I used a Mac book while I was on my trip because I had to write a script on one

2369
03:27:15,040 --> 03:27:21,440
And yeah, I went to a backspace and I was just like what's happening like is the computer lagging out like why is it so slow?

2370
03:27:22,320 --> 03:27:28,200
That's just so weird. I don't know I'm sure there's some app that you can download that will sure yeah

2371
03:27:28,200 --> 03:27:32,880
I don't know and I'm not dogging on macOS a bunch of people love it and that's great

2372
03:27:32,880 --> 03:27:38,080
I genuinely have no issue. I'm not whatever. I'm just I am very used to Windows

2373
03:27:38,120 --> 03:27:44,520
When I when I run Linux, I I like running Windows mint because it feels Windows-esque to me. I'm very used to it

2374
03:27:44,520 --> 03:27:48,640
It's intuitive to me That's all

2375
03:27:48,640 --> 03:27:52,760
iOS does not have a settings button in the quick settings to jump to the full settings

2376
03:27:52,760 --> 03:27:54,760
But what they do have is the ability to

2377
03:27:55,760 --> 03:28:02,720
Bind any app so what you can do is you can make an app say Windows

2378
03:28:02,720 --> 03:28:09,520
Make a settings make a settings app link in your quick settings and then it will go through the breadcrumbs for

2379
03:28:09,680 --> 03:28:15,800
No apparent reason because all I want to do is access my settings and I was on my home screen before I started so

2380
03:28:16,440 --> 03:28:21,440
whatever but yeah, no that that is a thing that that you can do and

2381
03:28:21,760 --> 03:28:25,600
Maybe this is me like being kind of snobby and apply

2382
03:28:25,600 --> 03:28:30,520
But it actually bothers me a lot that there it still bothers me that there isn't a settings one by default

2383
03:28:31,000 --> 03:28:37,040
Because the settings cog is the only thing I care to have in there and now the style doesn't match because it's in color

2384
03:28:37,040 --> 03:28:43,200
Yeah, and all the rest of them are black and white. That's so random. It doesn't it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter

2385
03:28:44,080 --> 03:28:51,000
Okay, I don't know. Whatever. I test your button. Oh, oh, yeah, buddy. Oh, let's go

2386
03:28:52,480 --> 03:28:54,480
I love it. I

2387
03:28:55,520 --> 03:28:58,520
Can't make the narcissist one right now. It's too complicated. Okay

2388
03:29:00,520 --> 03:29:04,200
I could I'm sure I

2389
03:29:05,480 --> 03:29:11,320
Have to do it manually like a pleb shoot there was a dang it there was a thing and sorry

2390
03:29:11,320 --> 03:29:19,280
I kind of I kind of dogged on the person who left that message I it wasn't I was just explaining that that is one of the cases why I don't know and people and person was great

2391
03:29:19,280 --> 03:29:23,680
People can't follow every little like aspect of everything and we don't expect that 100%

2392
03:29:23,680 --> 03:29:27,120
All I'm ever really asking for in this stuff is to not assume the worst

2393
03:29:27,120 --> 03:29:30,320
Yes, and that seems to be too much to ask for a lot of people. Yeah

2394
03:29:31,000 --> 03:29:38,280
Oh, our archivic asks any update on the lab's lanyard. I don't but I did send an email on my flight this very early in the morning

2395
03:29:38,840 --> 03:29:43,720
Asking for that to be followed up. I will also say with the ask not to assume the worst thing

2396
03:29:43,720 --> 03:29:47,520
I kind of get it because there's a lot of bad things right now

2397
03:29:48,480 --> 03:29:54,160
But it's just it's it's a very dark life to live when you assume that everything is bad

2398
03:29:54,160 --> 03:29:58,560
And I don't understand a lot of things are bad, but like just try to lift above that

2399
03:29:59,560 --> 03:30:07,200
Anyways Okay, a few more here Luke. I'm 14 and starting a weight loss and muscle gain journey not a question

2400
03:30:07,200 --> 03:30:11,040
I have tried this before but can't stick to it any tips

2401
03:30:14,120 --> 03:30:19,200
What I've said in the past is that that's probably because you're leaning on motivation instead of

2402
03:30:20,840 --> 03:30:26,640
Commitment or determination or whatever else motivation is very temporary you have to find

2403
03:30:28,600 --> 03:30:33,960
You have to find a way to make yourself do it even when you don't want to the only way you're ever gonna be able to keep doing

2404
03:30:34,600 --> 03:30:38,560
Anything you want to do is if even when you don't want to do it you do it anyways

2405
03:30:39,040 --> 03:30:43,920
Like my only motivation for staying in shape is that I want to be good at badminton. Yeah

2406
03:30:44,760 --> 03:30:51,920
That's I want it I want my score to be higher than the person on the other side of the court mine is I just don't want to be broken and

2407
03:30:52,680 --> 03:30:56,080
when I'm Say twice as old as I am now

2408
03:30:56,120 --> 03:30:59,880
I still want to be able to like move around and do things and I have a decent amount of like

2409
03:31:00,360 --> 03:31:04,240
Problems from sports or whatever else So I need to keep on top of it

2410
03:31:04,240 --> 03:31:12,320
I need to keep on top of it now and I can never stop I think I had this conversation with you not that long ago where it's like going to the gym is not like a thing

2411
03:31:12,320 --> 03:31:16,840
for now going to this He stopped swimming he dies

2412
03:31:16,840 --> 03:31:19,040
It's I mean sort of though like

2413
03:31:21,120 --> 03:31:25,720
The whole rest of my life there is no I'm just sort of into this interested in this now

2414
03:31:25,760 --> 03:31:29,920
I have to go all the time forever, and it's not it's not it's no longer a

2415
03:31:30,920 --> 03:31:33,720
Motivation thing it started as a motivation thing. Don't punch him in the nose

2416
03:31:35,080 --> 03:31:39,200
I heard him but I had to convert it and you'll have to find some way to convert it

2417
03:31:39,200 --> 03:31:44,000
It can't it can't be motivation. It has to be a complete unwillingness to

2418
03:31:45,760 --> 03:31:49,260
Not do it Yeah

2419
03:31:49,260 --> 03:31:54,680
Dan I'm gonna need a separate on I'm gonna need a separate button does no non-negotiable

2420
03:31:55,420 --> 03:31:58,740
Cuz he didn't he said that with conviction

2421
03:32:00,500 --> 03:32:03,860
Running out of pre-made ones to overwrite

2422
03:32:06,300 --> 03:32:14,020
I believe in discipline is good word for it. Yeah, I don't know if I said that or not Okay, but yeah, you have to and you have to do it yourself. You said you're 14. This is cool that you're

2423
03:32:15,020 --> 03:32:22,460
Going after this now, but this is one of the a really good time of your life to learn and to push yourself to do something without your

2424
03:32:22,580 --> 03:32:27,480
Your parents pushing you, you know, I think at that point in your life. There's a lot of like

2425
03:32:28,100 --> 03:32:31,780
You know you show up to every practice for the sport that you play because your parent gets you there

2426
03:32:31,860 --> 03:32:36,620
They get you up from whatever you're doing. They drive you. They do all this kind of stuff do this yourself

2427
03:32:37,820 --> 03:32:47,580
Or or find an accountability buddy That is also a very good way to that can also help you get over the hump of the change from from motivation to discipline

2428
03:32:47,580 --> 03:32:50,100
Like if I if I ever don't feel like going to badminton

2429
03:32:51,060 --> 03:32:57,100
But like it's a group of 12 people or whatever they expect you to be there we booked two courts

2430
03:32:57,420 --> 03:33:03,380
So if I don't show up everyone else is gonna pay 8% more for the session and the numbers are gonna be odd

2431
03:33:03,500 --> 03:33:09,060
So the rotations are gonna be off. Yeah, so find like a workout buddy or even I had one remote for a while

2432
03:33:09,100 --> 03:33:12,820
who was a buddy I knew online and We had a check-in

2433
03:33:12,820 --> 03:33:16,020
Well, and I don't need this anymore. I have the discipline now. I go all the time

2434
03:33:16,060 --> 03:33:19,220
But we had a check-in where you had to take a picture at the gym

2435
03:33:19,860 --> 03:33:27,300
Didn't have to be a nice picture. It could be a picture of the floor mats It didn't even have to be a view but you had to check in I'm here had to be a unique picture every time

2436
03:33:27,300 --> 03:33:30,940
You have the metadata it was taken, you know, like, you know, it's real

2437
03:33:31,740 --> 03:33:36,220
And they send you them back and you just you check in with each other and make sure that you're actually doing it

2438
03:33:36,220 --> 03:33:42,780
There's there's a multiple ways to do that. You might even be able to find one like through the LTT community somehow or something like that

2439
03:33:42,780 --> 03:33:45,820
I don't know but there's

2440
03:33:45,940 --> 03:33:51,540
They do the same reason the reason why I said, I don't know there. It's like oh, they're 14. Maybe they shouldn't be I don't know

2441
03:33:51,540 --> 03:33:57,460
I'm not sure but All I'm saying is just try to you'll you'll gain a ton from this if you

2442
03:33:57,900 --> 03:34:01,620
No, so yeah, I know now. I'm being confident now. You'll gain a ton from this if you do it

2443
03:34:02,620 --> 03:34:07,580
Under your own volition and not as a drive from your parents. I think that'd be really good. Yeah, super cool

2444
03:34:07,580 --> 03:34:11,060
I'm glad you're thinking about it. They gotta do more than think about it. Let's go. Yeah. Hell, yeah

2445
03:34:13,220 --> 03:34:15,220
Keep it up

2446
03:34:16,260 --> 03:34:18,340
Darn, okay. Well, let's see

2447
03:34:19,580 --> 03:34:26,180
Hi Wanda DLL Linus if you had destroyed the 1590 in the power connector video, what would you have done?

2448
03:34:26,180 --> 03:34:28,540
Would you have published the video anyway?

2449
03:34:29,540 --> 03:34:33,940
No, I don't think there would have been anything to to really say the story arc was

2450
03:34:36,220 --> 03:34:43,220
There was no arcing this The story was we've got this thing that has a fundamentally flawed connector on it

2451
03:34:43,980 --> 03:34:52,580
What would have prevented them from just Having an xt connector on either end and obviously we didn't put an xt connector on the power supply because we weren't gonna go

2452
03:34:52,860 --> 03:34:56,260
Advocating for people opening up power supplies anymore than we already have in the past

2453
03:34:56,420 --> 03:35:00,820
So we just you know turned the cable into the into the connector that we needed

2454
03:35:01,420 --> 03:35:08,300
With a very secure attachment of the man. I couldn't believe the war that started over soldering versus crimping connectors

2455
03:35:09,100 --> 03:35:14,300
Guys, that was just banter on set Like chill. It's all good

2456
03:35:15,460 --> 03:35:24,580
Anyway, the point is The whole idea was hate would an alternate connector that doesn't have that isn't so close to the edge

2457
03:35:24,940 --> 03:35:31,300
Would an alternate connector that doesn't have these kind of fundamental flaws in the design where everything gets combined into one

2458
03:35:31,340 --> 03:35:36,660
Where you just have one big conductor one big connector that that mates really securely

2459
03:35:36,820 --> 03:35:39,940
Would that just work fine and could we have just done that in the first place?

2460
03:35:39,940 --> 03:35:44,060
That and it was more meant to be kind of amusing slash comical

2461
03:35:44,060 --> 03:35:47,700
It was supposed to be kind of like a top gear solution not a real solution

2462
03:35:47,940 --> 03:35:51,380
so without It's kind of like asking if they're

2463
03:35:51,740 --> 03:35:56,380
You know if they're DIY electric car hadn't run would they have published that episode?

2464
03:35:56,380 --> 03:36:00,100
No, I think that you just keep going until the DIY car runs. I think we would have caught up another card

2465
03:36:00,860 --> 03:36:10,060
Which I hadn't Cleared with anybody yet, but that would have been what the executive decision would have ultimately been after the team discussed

2466
03:36:10,060 --> 03:36:12,060
one person in the Labs that was like

2467
03:36:14,820 --> 03:36:20,580
Not excited about all that Nick we have a we have a limited amount of 50 90s

2468
03:36:20,580 --> 03:36:27,380
Sorry Nick and we need like a lot more. Sorry Nick by the way. Sorry Nick like so many more my apologies to Nick

2469
03:36:27,380 --> 03:36:30,660
We're talking about expanding the benches. So we have more I get it benches look

2470
03:36:32,580 --> 03:36:34,580
How do I say this without it?

2471
03:36:35,900 --> 03:36:40,500
Reflecting poorly on previous leadership you you say you say I don't know after it's right

2472
03:36:41,700 --> 03:36:45,820
Okay here hold on a second. I could just move it. I never once

2473
03:36:47,060 --> 03:36:54,740
Denied a request for equipment to any previous management. Oh, he's putting himself over

2474
03:37:01,660 --> 03:37:04,900
Yeah, I didn't think it would get denied which is kind of how I

2475
03:37:07,940 --> 03:37:11,300
Right now it just sucks because I don't want to pay a bunch of scalpers Yeah

2476
03:37:11,300 --> 03:37:14,740
So I want to buy the cards like legitimately and that's just hard to do right now

2477
03:37:14,740 --> 03:37:20,740
Like the whole thing my line is as cheap and won't spend money on his business thing or whatever came out of the

2478
03:37:20,900 --> 03:37:26,980
The billet Labs thing right which never had anything to do with the dollar value that dollar value was just a number I threw out

2479
03:37:27,780 --> 03:37:32,100
Yes, and my whole point wasn't expense. My whole point was that it just wasn't the point

2480
03:37:33,380 --> 03:37:39,380
Yeah, it's just worded in a way. I get it. You had to add the you had to add the thing. Yeah, but it's not on my side right now

2481
03:37:39,540 --> 03:37:47,460
Yeah, okay move it over here. Yeah, there you go. Okay. There you go So my whole thing there was just that you're you're basically asking me for the fuel economy of

2482
03:37:48,740 --> 03:37:55,460
a concept car that You know is upside where the passengers or the driver seat is upside down like who cares

2483
03:37:56,100 --> 03:38:00,980
Um, nice it was not going to impact ultimately anyone's decision to buy this product

2484
03:38:00,980 --> 03:38:04,660
It was not going to impact its viability in the market

2485
03:38:05,220 --> 03:38:12,900
And I ended up being right That product got one limited production run and was never restocked once. It's not a real product. It was never a real product

2486
03:38:13,540 --> 03:38:21,220
I don't they didn't seem to know that Um, but they figured it out eventually. It's not a real product. It has no viable market

2487
03:38:21,860 --> 03:38:28,260
um and I understand why people were upset at what they felt was a lack of due diligence

2488
03:38:28,260 --> 03:38:34,100
But my point always was even if it performs exactly like the manufacturer says it's just not relevant

2489
03:38:34,100 --> 03:38:39,380
You worded it. I know. Yeah. No, because the way I worded it was I'm not going to spend some dollar value

2490
03:38:39,460 --> 03:38:46,100
I forgot what it was. Yeah on testing this thing when it doesn't matter. Yeah, and people latched on to

2491
03:38:46,980 --> 03:38:55,380
That dollar value As though that was the thing that mattered bad wording. I I spend 500 dollars on this business without even

2492
03:38:56,980 --> 03:39:02,980
In fact without even approving it like what's your manager approval limit? It's actually like

2493
03:39:04,980 --> 03:39:11,940
I think it's low What is it 2000? Yeah, so literally there's a funny loophole though literally

2494
03:39:12,420 --> 03:39:19,220
I don't even have this I do know Literally, I do not even have to be involved in a decision to spend 500 dollars

2495
03:39:19,860 --> 03:39:22,740
I literally won't even know it is utterly meaningless

2496
03:39:23,220 --> 03:39:26,900
The point Taryn doesn't even have to be involved the point of that amount of money

2497
03:39:26,900 --> 03:39:30,420
The point of me throwing out that amount was to demonstrate

2498
03:39:30,980 --> 03:39:35,060
That I wouldn't spend anything to test it. It wasn't about the value

2499
03:39:35,940 --> 03:39:40,820
It wasn't about that at all. It wasn't about the money. You know that I've had to seek approval to save money before

2500
03:39:44,500 --> 03:39:47,780
Because we had there was a monthly subscription

2501
03:39:48,900 --> 03:39:53,300
And I was like we could move it to the yearly subscription and we'll save like 20 percent or something

2502
03:39:53,540 --> 03:39:59,540
But by the yearly subscription it went above your approval limit. Yeah. Yeah. That actually does make sense

2503
03:40:00,100 --> 03:40:03,300
because from a cash flow standpoint in a business that was like

2504
03:40:04,100 --> 03:40:09,940
Managed on the I hear you. I just think it's funny. We're not we can afford an annual subscription and we

2505
03:40:10,500 --> 03:40:13,300
Typically tend to do that. I just think it's funny. Okay

2506
03:40:14,260 --> 03:40:18,180
I also think it's funny that I sometimes have to like waste Taryn's time by asking for

2507
03:40:18,660 --> 03:40:24,020
approval to like buy power supplies For a channel that has to test power supplies all the time. Oh, yeah

2508
03:40:24,020 --> 03:40:28,500
Why do you have to do that because it's sometimes we buy a batch of power supplies? That's more than two grand

2509
03:40:29,060 --> 03:40:32,020
Got it. Okay. Yeah, fine. Yeah

2510
03:40:32,740 --> 03:40:36,820
It's fine Are there is there anyone other than Taryn that can approve more than two grand?

2511
03:40:37,620 --> 03:40:42,020
I don't think so. I mean, I don't know. I'm not not on accounting or whatever, but I don't think so

2512
03:40:42,420 --> 03:40:49,380
Did that process this week? I believe it's Linus Avon and Taryn or the above 2000. Oh, yeah, I mean that makes sense

2513
03:40:49,620 --> 03:40:54,260
What's my limit? I was gonna say do you have to do you have to ask yourself what happens in that scenario? I don't know

2514
03:40:55,700 --> 03:40:57,700
I want to know what my approval limit is

2515
03:40:58,980 --> 03:41:02,020
If you tell me I'll put it in our system like right now and then automate that

2516
03:41:02,420 --> 03:41:05,540
Yeah, because he the oh man, I'm so excited for that man

2517
03:41:07,140 --> 03:41:11,140
I don't want to use a stupid form thing anymore. I was gushing about it to sammy

2518
03:41:11,140 --> 03:41:14,340
We did the Dan daly's thing and I ended up talking about it for 20 minutes

2519
03:41:14,340 --> 03:41:17,380
He's like, that should be another video. Can you show up? So good? Yeah

2520
03:41:18,340 --> 03:41:22,740
Hey boss you're live on the wancho. Hi Oh, hi

2521
03:41:22,740 --> 03:41:26,100
Yeah, so I could uh, do you have like 30 seconds?

2522
03:41:26,980 --> 03:41:30,740
Of course. Yeah, so yeah, I shouldn't say uh, I don't I don't know

2523
03:41:33,380 --> 03:41:37,380
So Yeah, uh trip was good trip was good

2524
03:41:37,380 --> 03:41:42,500
So, uh, luke was mentioning that his approval limit for purchases is too grand

2525
03:41:43,300 --> 03:41:50,020
And I was wondering what's my approval limit like at what point at what point do I have to like talk to someone when we're buying something

2526
03:41:50,820 --> 03:41:56,420
You ignore you ignore, uh, you ignore the the approval makers that we have so I find out about the stuff after the fact

2527
03:41:58,340 --> 03:42:04,900
Got it. Okay, but I think based on my question We could probably conclude that that was out of ignorance not malice, right?

2528
03:42:05,620 --> 03:42:12,340
I tell the ignorance not malice. Um, basically, you know, the the ongoing team that we have is we just need to communicate better

2529
03:42:12,340 --> 03:42:17,540
as a company So ultimately you send the final final checks on the file numbers and everything else

2530
03:42:17,620 --> 03:42:19,620
Mm-hmm

2531
03:42:27,700 --> 03:42:30,100
Okay, cool. Yeah, thank you very much. Thanks boss

2532
03:42:31,380 --> 03:42:36,020
Thank you. Okay. Bye That was a really good answer

2533
03:42:38,020 --> 03:42:40,980
So basically you don't have an approval limit just everyone has to work around you

2534
03:42:41,380 --> 03:42:44,260
Okay, I mean that's the way it's always been. Yes

2535
03:42:44,980 --> 03:42:51,060
You can tell it just like doesn't bother him. He's like, uh, he used to it. Well, he knew what he signed up for. Yeah

2536
03:42:51,460 --> 03:43:00,260
I mean, he's known me for It's a very good answer to be honest, dude. I've known taran for almost 20 years. It makes sense. That's crazy

2537
03:43:00,820 --> 03:43:08,260
Make sense Um, yeah, so like I mean he that's over half of yours

2538
03:43:08,820 --> 03:43:14,100
He was working as a senior in my department where I was a junior

2539
03:43:15,060 --> 03:43:21,140
When I would literally like not come into work because it snowed thinking that work had like a snow day

2540
03:43:21,780 --> 03:43:25,140
like to give to give you some idea of the level of

2541
03:43:25,860 --> 03:43:32,180
Of of greenness that I had when I when I when I joined the industry when I joined the workforce

2542
03:43:32,500 --> 03:43:38,100
essentially Taran was there and then he was my boss a couple years later. It's what's that uh

2543
03:43:38,660 --> 03:43:43,620
Geico or whatever was that like insurance company So-and-so was there. Oh, yeah, I'm not sure

2544
03:43:44,420 --> 03:43:47,620
But like yeah, like he he he saw me at my

2545
03:43:48,420 --> 03:43:57,380
Very worst like had to had to give me like dressings down back when I would make like egregious mistakes of errors of judgment or whatever else

2546
03:43:57,940 --> 03:44:02,580
Um, so yeah, like I said, he knew he knew what he signed up for I'm still me at just from the company now

2547
03:44:02,580 --> 03:44:05,380
And I have a lot more experience. Yeah, but uh, you know

2548
03:44:06,340 --> 03:44:09,380
I tend to be kind of a big picture guy. We did this management

2549
03:44:09,780 --> 03:44:12,900
Um, we had some consultants come in and do like this kind of management

2550
03:44:13,780 --> 03:44:19,220
Course and I found out what I've known my whole life, which is that I am a red personality type

2551
03:44:19,780 --> 03:44:25,460
Um, which is that I am not overly concerned with details that I consider to be unimportant

2552
03:44:26,020 --> 03:44:30,260
relative to Making progress on the bigger picture objective

2553
03:44:30,820 --> 03:44:36,580
Um, I was a I was a rare pokemon I was a I was a red blue. You were red blue. Yeah, okay

2554
03:44:36,900 --> 03:44:41,060
Do you guys do you guys know that is this is this personality colors like a standardized thing?

2555
03:44:41,300 --> 03:44:46,740
Ah, somewhat it's business Myers-Briggs basically. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Here we go. Hold on

2556
03:44:48,500 --> 03:44:50,500
Okay

2557
03:44:52,980 --> 03:45:00,340
Yeah, I could have told you that without an expensive consultant If I remember there was different scales to them all and you were like the furthest you could possibly go on red

2558
03:45:01,140 --> 03:45:05,060
Me and one other person were there. Jake. Well, I wasn't oh, well

2559
03:45:06,100 --> 03:45:09,460
He wouldn't mind. Yeah, Jake wouldn't mind red enough. I know

2560
03:45:10,660 --> 03:45:18,740
I mean if anything he he would want me to say that he was red and I believe he was I don't actually 100% remember, but he

2561
03:45:20,500 --> 03:45:24,980
He's a red boy. Yeah, which is maybe why I've always had a bit of a soft spot for

2562
03:45:26,340 --> 03:45:28,820
I see a lot of myself in him. Yeah

2563
03:45:29,380 --> 03:45:32,660
Um By the way, E Gadget guy said make Luke's limit 10k

2564
03:45:32,820 --> 03:45:38,740
I don't actually mind the 2k thing because it I I actually don't think taren has ever not approved anything

2565
03:45:38,740 --> 03:45:44,340
I've ever asked for and it ends up just being like a way of informing of major things that's the point of it

2566
03:45:44,420 --> 03:45:49,620
And that's why I wouldn't have asked for it to change And I've never asked for mine to raise because people should

2567
03:45:50,260 --> 03:45:54,740
Should communicate when they are making major purchases. It's a good primer to just have the conversation

2568
03:45:54,740 --> 03:45:59,540
I think 2 grand is definitely a decent line over, you know, this is

2569
03:46:00,180 --> 03:46:03,460
Just general day-to-day cost of doing business versus this is an expenditure

2570
03:46:03,540 --> 03:46:07,780
I don't know what I would change it to if I wanted to change it, which is why I think it's always been fine

2571
03:46:07,940 --> 03:46:14,580
It's also been like it. I don't think he's ever denied any request, but he's also like asked very reasonable questions

2572
03:46:14,980 --> 03:46:20,180
Um, which is completely fine. He's he's also not blindly approving is what I would say

2573
03:46:21,060 --> 03:46:25,380
Gorf in Floatplane chat says about the color personalities. It's all horse

2574
03:46:26,260 --> 03:46:32,980
What I will say is part of the problem could be the administration of the evaluation because

2575
03:46:33,780 --> 03:46:40,820
Looking around at people that I've known in some cases for five years some in some cases for 10 years

2576
03:46:42,980 --> 03:46:49,460
Yeah Seems about right now. There's some confirmation bias there or whatever obviously like

2577
03:46:50,180 --> 03:46:56,260
Or whatever a sampling bias or whatever if you feel like you want to be something you could project it through your answers on the quiz

2578
03:46:56,340 --> 03:47:00,180
Yep, but given most of us hadn't even like heard of it before we did the evaluation

2579
03:47:00,900 --> 03:47:08,020
and like Anyone who was like playing. Hey, what do you think so and so is like nailed it? Yeah, um, yeah

2580
03:47:08,100 --> 03:47:11,780
Yeah, it seems there seems to be some I mean at the end of the day

2581
03:47:12,260 --> 03:47:20,100
What the real lesson was was not, you know Memorizing the colors and what these things are the whole point of it was that everyone's kind of different

2582
03:47:20,420 --> 03:47:23,380
And everyone takes a different approach and everybody needs

2583
03:47:23,860 --> 03:47:29,540
Different needs fulfilled in order to move forward together as a team. That was the main point

2584
03:47:29,620 --> 03:47:35,300
I thought the goal of what they had in regards to explaining the communication stuff, which I'll do in a second was actually

2585
03:47:36,020 --> 03:47:41,220
really Good and I've used it to remind people of how we should do things

2586
03:47:41,780 --> 03:47:44,900
Dan's probably even heard me mention this probably recently. I think I did

2587
03:47:45,060 --> 03:47:51,540
Um, where it's like what their point was not so much necessarily to self identify what you were

2588
03:47:51,780 --> 03:47:57,220
But to make educated guesses about what other people might be and tune your communication style to it

2589
03:47:57,460 --> 03:48:05,300
Like they explained like the the people in the blue category Um, give them lots of information and good documentation and like resources

2590
03:48:05,940 --> 03:48:08,980
Hand it to them and they'll be happy and don't be super casual about it

2591
03:48:09,060 --> 03:48:14,180
Don't yeah because they might treat that as you're not taking it seriously. Yes, but red side

2592
03:48:14,500 --> 03:48:18,900
Don't waste my time give them the really important information that need and then and then go away

2593
03:48:19,300 --> 03:48:22,580
Yes, and it's like and then go do it. Yeah, right because yeah

2594
03:48:23,300 --> 03:48:26,420
Because nothing else really matters like are we getting it done or not?

2595
03:48:26,980 --> 03:48:32,820
I don't need a spreadsheet. I need action red and that was our that was my leadership style for a very long time

2596
03:48:32,820 --> 03:48:35,620
That doesn't mean that I'm not capable of communicating with people

2597
03:48:36,580 --> 03:48:42,180
Across the entire color spectrum or whatever But in terms of where my natural

2598
03:48:42,900 --> 03:48:50,580
Residency is it's definitely Definitely red, but we like we had a conversation recently where we were working with another department

2599
03:48:51,060 --> 03:48:54,180
Um, and I brought up like hey, this department is x color

2600
03:48:55,300 --> 03:49:02,020
Like work with them this way and there's like no way that almost everyone in that department wasn't kind of leaning towards the same

2601
03:49:02,500 --> 03:49:08,980
Type of communication. Yeah, they 100% did yeah And I think I probably know what department you're talking about because I think there's only one department

2602
03:49:08,980 --> 03:49:14,420
That's like all one color probably. Yeah And did it help? Yeah, so looking back on after

2603
03:49:15,060 --> 03:49:22,100
Like going back on conversations that I've had with either like executive teams or other other teams like I think Luke and I are quite aligned

2604
03:49:22,660 --> 03:49:27,300
um, I Think extravertedly to use like the Myers-Briggs terms

2605
03:49:27,860 --> 03:49:32,020
Um, and when I'm in meetings and I'm like explaining things and I'm like answers

2606
03:49:32,260 --> 03:49:37,060
Please why is nobody talking to me all of them have introverted thinking and so all they are just like

2607
03:49:37,780 --> 03:49:42,660
Processing in their head and I'm feeling ignored And uh, like an island

2608
03:49:43,940 --> 03:49:49,380
And it's kind of scary but thinking back on it. Yeah, no, they're paying attention and they understand but they don't have to talk through

2609
03:49:50,020 --> 03:49:56,340
um, like their process or or Brain goop. Mm-hmm. Yeah super useful

2610
03:49:57,220 --> 03:50:00,340
Anyways, okay moving on not saying it's the be all and end all

2611
03:50:01,220 --> 03:50:08,500
No, you know No, we're just saying it's been useful in some situations. It gets people talking about it, right at the very least

2612
03:50:08,500 --> 03:50:13,940
It's like try to analyze the type of person you're dealing with and tune your communication towards them if you need something from it

2613
03:50:13,940 --> 03:50:17,220
That's all it really doesn't work. Try something else. Like that was a big part of it, too

2614
03:50:17,220 --> 03:50:20,100
It's just you might be wrong like realistically

2615
03:50:20,740 --> 03:50:25,300
Communicate your own needs as well. Look, I was chatting with Yvonne about it after and realistically

2616
03:50:26,100 --> 03:50:30,180
We could have run the workshop like yeah, we're both experienced managers

2617
03:50:30,340 --> 03:50:36,500
And we've gone through a lot of this but for a lot of members of the team where they didn't have this familiarity with

2618
03:50:36,740 --> 03:50:41,620
Working with people that have different communication styles in different ways of processing things. I think it was

2619
03:50:42,340 --> 03:50:45,220
Incredibly valuable. We often hire

2620
03:50:46,260 --> 03:50:50,660
uh I don't know if I want to say inexperienced

2621
03:50:51,060 --> 03:50:55,300
We offer hire people that haven't had career level jobs. We're a really young company. Yeah overall

2622
03:50:55,460 --> 03:51:02,260
So like there's there's some people in there that like had been met I know of at least one person that had been managing for zero days when they first stepped in

2623
03:51:02,580 --> 03:51:06,740
Um, they have recently been our way through the like promoted to it. Exactly. Yeah

2624
03:51:07,220 --> 03:51:11,700
But had zero management experience and well like they were promoted as far as I know

2625
03:51:11,780 --> 03:51:16,420
It was like they had no direct reports yet and it was the day they were promoted and they just showed up. So like

2626
03:51:17,380 --> 03:51:19,940
Love they should get the training, right? Obviously all new stuff

2627
03:51:20,740 --> 03:51:24,900
Yeah Anyways

2628
03:51:26,260 --> 03:51:33,620
Uh, sorry reading slack messages Uh, first time getting a comment in live. I'm considering getting a steam dick

2629
03:51:33,700 --> 03:51:37,940
But I've heard rumors that an updated version is around the corner. Is it worth waiting?

2630
03:51:38,260 --> 03:51:44,340
I mean an updated version of Anything is always around the corner depending on your definition of around the corner. Um

2631
03:51:46,420 --> 03:51:54,580
Uh I don't think valve has confirmed anything with the current batch of zen 5 APUs

2632
03:51:55,140 --> 03:52:01,620
And the scuttle butt is that the zen 6 APUs are not getting rdna 4

2633
03:52:02,820 --> 03:52:11,940
If I was going to guess I would say valve would probably strike at zen 7 rdna 4 because what and this is a complete guess on my part

2634
03:52:12,900 --> 03:52:14,900
Because what they have said

2635
03:52:16,580 --> 03:52:23,700
What valve has said is that they want a clear like like console level generational leap

2636
03:52:24,340 --> 03:52:26,340
They don't want to get into the

2637
03:52:27,540 --> 03:52:31,380
habit of just like churning out steam deck models and

2638
03:52:32,820 --> 03:52:36,980
Having a complicated legacy product stack

2639
03:52:36,980 --> 03:52:43,220
That they have to figure out how to support on all these new os updates like they want they want playable on steam deck

2640
03:52:44,260 --> 03:52:49,460
Messaging to be very clear that means steam deck and they don't want to be redoing that all the time

2641
03:52:49,540 --> 03:52:54,180
Like steam profiles like some games have the steam settings profile built right into them like cyberpunk

2642
03:52:55,060 --> 03:52:58,500
They want to make it easier for game developers. I mean they come from game development

2643
03:52:58,740 --> 03:53:04,740
Theoretically at some point they did game development, right? So they they want to do this in a way that's really friendly for game developers

2644
03:53:05,220 --> 03:53:10,660
So they have very clearly said they're and they're not going to get into the same habits as someone like an ASUS

2645
03:53:10,980 --> 03:53:15,380
Even ASUS actually, I mean didn't do an updated like the ally x is just

2646
03:53:16,260 --> 03:53:20,260
updated it doesn't use a new processor Um

2647
03:53:20,260 --> 03:53:25,700
So if I had to guess I would say zen 7 rdna 4, but I don't know that I have no way of knowing that

2648
03:53:26,180 --> 03:53:30,980
Athos lore says I have the OLED edition and it's great and it really is it's a it's a beautiful machine

2649
03:53:34,340 --> 03:53:36,820
Sorry, um last one I brought for you tonight

2650
03:53:37,380 --> 03:53:44,740
Linus speaking of how to train your dragon. Have you seen the isle of berk section at the new epic universe park at universal orlando?

2651
03:53:45,220 --> 03:53:50,580
I have not I've never been to universal studios orlando. Um, it's really far for me

2652
03:53:51,300 --> 03:53:57,540
I believe florida Like the the tip of florida is the farthest point in

2653
03:53:58,260 --> 03:54:00,260
canada us from here actually

2654
03:54:02,100 --> 03:54:06,260
Is newfoundland farther? I don't know. It's very very far away though

2655
03:54:06,820 --> 03:54:10,260
Extremely far away like uncomfortably far. I would I would never

2656
03:54:10,980 --> 03:54:14,020
I would never just like hop on a plane and and jump down there

2657
03:54:14,660 --> 03:54:16,660
um

2658
03:54:18,260 --> 03:54:25,060
Yeah Hawaii no, I no, I'm pretty sure that florida is farther from me than hawaii. Hold on now

2659
03:54:28,180 --> 03:54:31,540
There we go maps.google.com

2660
03:54:31,780 --> 03:54:36,180
What is what are these autocompletes? What is this? Look at this. This is hilarious

2661
03:54:37,220 --> 03:54:39,300
Oh, it's because I have an a in there. All right fine

2662
03:54:40,420 --> 03:54:44,500
I find this fact to be really fun Okay, no here it is

2663
03:54:46,020 --> 03:54:49,060
What are these initial autocompletes what is dot cca

2664
03:54:49,780 --> 03:54:53,940
Is dot cca thing is maps dot google.com's like is that a thing? What is this?

2665
03:54:54,660 --> 03:55:02,100
Why would it autocomplete that? I mean, this is a this is like a barely used profile for the windshow profiles are only used for wind

2666
03:55:02,660 --> 03:55:09,380
That's weird Uh, there are distances within canada

2667
03:55:10,260 --> 03:55:13,780
That are further than canada's border is to europe

2668
03:55:15,780 --> 03:55:17,780
Canada is really big random fun fact

2669
03:55:18,980 --> 03:55:30,020
How do I switch to the globe view? There are there are like logistical decisions that have to be made sometimes where it's actually like cheaper to ship something to europe than it is across canada because canada's so big

2670
03:55:31,780 --> 03:55:36,260
This is really far though, especially when you factor in how much how much

2671
03:55:36,580 --> 03:55:40,820
Actually big this is and how much this is stretched out because yeah top of map

2672
03:55:40,900 --> 03:55:45,300
Do you remember how to uh, do you remember how to change it to globe? I can't remember not sure

2673
03:55:46,420 --> 03:55:48,420
Y'all want to remind me how to do that?

2674
03:55:49,940 --> 03:55:55,700
Because uh, oh dang that didn't work. Well, whatever you just go to google earth. Oh, okay, sure

2675
03:55:59,300 --> 03:56:03,140
I think there's a way to get it in like actual map view as well instead of google earthing it

2676
03:56:03,220 --> 03:56:06,820
Yeah, I think so But this get started

2677
03:56:08,260 --> 03:56:12,900
What two earths have changed there we go here we go africa be

2678
03:56:14,180 --> 03:56:16,500
Actually really big. Yeah, I know right?

2679
03:56:17,220 --> 03:56:22,980
It's huge. Yep. You never realize how freaking massive it is until you see it on an actual globe

2680
03:56:23,620 --> 03:56:26,180
um, can I remove the clouds?

2681
03:56:27,620 --> 03:56:32,420
That is actually not useful right now. Is there a maybe under layers bottom left there we go. Here we go

2682
03:56:32,820 --> 03:56:37,300
Okay, so yeah, vancouver to florida real far actually like

2683
03:56:38,180 --> 03:56:44,340
Ridiculously far. Yeah, that fight sucks. Um, but maybe not farther than to newfoundland

2684
03:56:45,540 --> 03:56:51,220
That that looks pretty similar ish newfoundland might be further. Is it worth farther? Excuse me

2685
03:56:52,180 --> 03:56:56,420
Okay, but what about vancouver to the usa? Okay

2686
03:56:59,220 --> 03:57:02,660
You mean america to america that's a that's a national flight

2687
03:57:03,220 --> 03:57:07,940
Uh, thanks for tuning in. We'll see you again next week. Same bad time same bad channel

2688
03:57:08,740 --> 03:57:10,740
I don't know. Bye

2689
03:57:24,420 --> 03:57:26,740
You
