I mean, I really wanted to be out a hard up hard in hard out 00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:02.600 Hard in a I don't know. I mean all sorts of things can be hard 00:01:04.080 --> 00:01:08.640 All the prep is hard prepositions. Yeah, are they prepositions? What are prepositions again? 00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:13.680 It's been a while since I've been in English class 00:01:16.720 --> 00:01:19.040 Oh, yeah on hard after 00:01:21.880 --> 00:01:24.400 Here we go preposition list hard above 00:01:26.320 --> 00:01:28.320 Hard since 00:01:29.800 --> 00:01:38.920 Hard across, huh? Yeah. Yeah, that sounds like man that that could that could be a sling like yeah, I gave him the heart across 00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:45.360 I mean it's it's evocative 00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:52.040 I think there's a few ways that that could be used. Yeah, I think we all know which one I mean 00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:00.880 The slap with a hand obviously 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:05.520 Hard show tonight we go hard 00:02:06.600 --> 00:02:11.200 Should we start the show like seriously though? What time do you need to go? I would love to leave it like eight 00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:13.200 But that's kind of wow 00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:20.640 I suspect I'll say that then we'll go to like 8 30. It'll probably be fine 00:02:22.160 --> 00:02:26.160 Okay, ready when you guys are gives me like an hour and a half to do everything check this out 00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:31.560 Yeah, yeah smash champs Google rating is 00:02:32.440 --> 00:02:35.600 4.9 flippin stars. I checked like a few days ago. Yeah 00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:42.320 It was down to four point eight because we botched a stringing job on a racket and somebody on the forum 00:02:42.320 --> 00:02:44.920 Do you was like? Oh, no, that's totally fine 00:02:46.600 --> 00:02:50.840 So we contacted them we got it redone obviously once the supervisor got involved 00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:55.720 And they readjusted that two-star review. I think it was to a five-star 00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:58.520 Like reached out and got it taken care of noise 00:02:59.960 --> 00:03:06.240 Which seems fair. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I get it. I get it. I get it was mishandled starts bad. Yeah 00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:10.040 Feedback given hand properly now good. Yep 00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:18.800 This this last one is really confusing Four stars the facility is great and the people who work there provide excellent customer service 00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:24.360 My only complaint would be that I had no idea they started charging a $30 membership fee 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:27.200 So when I go to sign up for a drop in I was frustrated that 00:03:28.720 --> 00:03:34.020 The drop-in options were not popping up It's like well, okay, so I 00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:41.720 Think we could communicate it better, but it's just like, ah, that's not really I guess you can you can knock off a star for 00:03:41.720 --> 00:03:43.720 Something being expensive. I guess right 00:03:44.920 --> 00:03:48.760 So when you evaluate a restaurant like if it's a premium restaurant 00:03:49.640 --> 00:03:55.200 Do you knock off a star if it's like even more expensive or than you thought only if the quality doesn't match 00:03:57.920 --> 00:04:04.360 No complaint about quality only complaint about price, but then maybe the complaint about the quality is implicit 00:04:06.320 --> 00:04:12.720 We'll try to do better I'm gonna do 20% better. Yeah, we're gonna get that 00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:16.840 We're gonna turn up the lights more things 00:04:17.640 --> 00:04:24.600 Turn them up 20% higher nice. We're gonna add 20% more bounce to the floor. Oh good. No, that's too much is actually bad. Yeah 00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:29.440 Okay, we should we should probably start just badminton on trampolines 00:04:29.880 --> 00:04:34.600 Yeah, that wouldn't be good. That would be not you might have some pretty crazy smashes 00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:38.560 Yeah, you might also have some pretty crazy injuries 00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:45.800 All right, let's get that out of the way. That's a sacrifice. I'm willing to make yeah, I bet you are other people getting injured. I 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:50.320 Mean the way things go for you. It'll probably be you getting no, I just won't play 00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:53.240 That's fair. That's fair 00:04:54.880 --> 00:05:00.360 All right Okay, I mean I have my chat open. I guess I'm ready to go right 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:08.440 Unique username asks is there a standard for floor bounciness dude? There's a standard for everything look up ASTM 00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:16.480 ASTM floor bounce standard gym, whatever. Yeah 00:05:17.440 --> 00:05:23.080 ball rebound and Buh-Buh-Buh-Buh, it's a whole it's a whole thing you check all this out 00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:29.280 It's AI. So basically ignore that and then click this link right because that's oh 00:05:29.760 --> 00:05:35.320 Yeah, target sports. These guys were not our installer, but they are an installer. So there's all these different 00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:40.800 force reduction classes and the blah blah ball rebound performance level 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:46.800 Point elastic inclusive range uniformity level dude, there's standards for everything 00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:52.160 Standards for everything. I Know you're sorry you asked I get it 00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:55.440 Okay, let's do this thing. I'm I'm punching it 00:05:56.440 --> 00:05:59.900 Are we ready for me to punch it? Yeah, I'm resuming the selected 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:05.960 Three two one. Oh god. No wait. No, I'm kidding. I'm just gonna resume 00:06:10.280 --> 00:06:17.080 It's so realistic. Thanks. I'm a really good actor Lewis Rossman told me actor and 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:23.680 What's up everybody and welcome to the WAN Show we got a great show lined up for you guys this week 00:06:24.400 --> 00:06:34.400 Oh There's some Juicy tea being spilled about NVIDIA being terrible to reviewers and partners again and another 00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:42.720 totally Unexpected news Nintendo of America wants you to give up the right to sue them and 00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:46.760 To give them the right to break your console remotely 00:06:47.440 --> 00:06:52.520 Man, these guys are really like they're really trying to win the who can be the biggest 00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:59.160 Scuzzbag this week competition, aren't they? Yeah. Yeah, look at that tying it all back to the title of the video like that 00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:04.280 What a pro. He really is ladies and gentlemen speak. It's fantastic seeing a professional work like this 00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:10.600 Look at the way. He doesn't even give his host a chance to say a word. Just talks continuously. What's happening, too? 00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:24.240 Tolerance it's tolerance And in the obviously all good news show we have GTA 6 being delayed by like a year 00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:27.800 Maybe and company towns are back on the menu again 00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:30.720 Let's go. Oh boy. Oh 00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:34.920 Did we both press it? Uh-huh nice 00:07:48.760 --> 00:07:50.760 Oh 00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:57.280 The show is brought to you today by odu green man gaming and AMD 00:07:57.280 --> 00:08:03.240 Of course alongside our rap partner D brand our chair partner secret lab and our laptop partner Dell 00:08:04.640 --> 00:08:10.440 Alright, they did a bit more rapping. It seems which oh, yeah, I saw that actually I I like it 00:08:10.440 --> 00:08:17.160 I like and when we do after dark it'll glow It won't because we keep the lights on now, but it would have so sick if it did it would have 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:22.760 Who do you want to do first? N or N? Oh 00:08:25.280 --> 00:08:32.800 What did you think I was asking I mean why why would one of us wait we could do it at the same time 00:08:36.880 --> 00:08:44.240 Let's go with it works for Beyonce. Let's go with shorter in yeah sure and video is allegedly 00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:48.840 I'm gonna throw in an allegedly there even though I totally believe all of this allegedly. I believe it 00:08:50.040 --> 00:08:55.120 After NVIDIA withheld the 8 Gigabyte variant of the 5060 Ti 00:08:55.480 --> 00:09:00.560 Which led to delayed coverage and this is my personal theory 00:09:00.560 --> 00:09:04.360 although I think a lot of other folks agree with me delayed coverage as a 00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:12.800 Strategy to bury any reviews of it so that people searching for this card would only find 00:09:13.800 --> 00:09:22.720 Search optimized coverage of the 16 Gigabyte variant and video has struck again with the RTX 5060 00:09:23.520 --> 00:09:30.400 Tech spot hardware unboxed hardware Lux and many more does many more include LTT Labs 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:42.040 Yeah, have confirmed that they are not receiving drivers for the RTX 5060 until its launch date May 19th 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:49.600 The cherry on top is not only this does this delay any non-rushed review of this card 00:09:49.760 --> 00:09:53.560 But May 19th is the first day of Computex 00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:58.320 Meaning that I mean this says several but I would say many 00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:04.560 Reviewers won't be able to test the card at all since they are going to be working on the show floor 00:10:04.680 --> 00:10:08.320 Doing coverage of all the cool tech that you guys want to hear about 00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:12.720 I do think less reviewers are going to shows these days, but it's still true 00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:16.480 I mean, we're gonna be there. Yeah, I'm gonna have some fun. I love Computex 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.440 I'm like I'm actually excited to play badminton and also Computex was there 00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:24.800 Genuinely though, I do I do enjoy Computex more than CES 00:10:24.800 --> 00:10:28.000 I never got to do seabit, which I heard was really good 00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:34.760 But Computex is my favorite of the remaining the remaining shows that I have been to me too for sure 00:10:34.760 --> 00:10:37.960 All right, here's a very off-topic question. Just 00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:46.880 Wasn't done with that topic, but we can come back Are you gonna be able to go to badminton centers in Taiwan without just like inspecting everything? 00:10:46.880 --> 00:10:56.200 Oh, don't imagine that I wasn't already doing that for years I mean, I've I've wanted to build my own center for I think my first email to my realtor was over five years ago 00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:59.640 So like dude, I've been I've been on it 00:10:59.640 --> 00:11:02.920 I've been on it No buddy my buddy over there who runs like 00:11:03.160 --> 00:11:08.560 Half a dozen centers when I was there last year and I think was like in the process of opening up two more 00:11:08.800 --> 00:11:13.720 Because the year before when I went there. He had just opened one center and I was like 00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:18.600 Dude, you did a great job. I can't believe the budget you did this on 00:11:19.040 --> 00:11:25.320 The the the demand for this is so high and completely unmet every time I come here 00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:28.880 It's like impossible to find a court. You should just like do more of this 00:11:29.560 --> 00:11:35.080 But like, you know, that's not advice or anything I didn't want to be responsible for like his whole financial situation 00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:42.240 So I come back a year later and he fucking went all in and started up like five more centers 00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:47.280 And he was like and I owe you all I owe you for it all because I wouldn't have done it 00:11:47.280 --> 00:11:54.440 If you like didn't tell me to do it and I was like yo dog You owe me nothing for one thing. I don't want to be a look for that because if it had gone terrible 00:11:54.560 --> 00:12:00.840 You definitely would have owed me nothing in that situation too. This is all on you. You did a great job, but apparently he's 00:12:01.680 --> 00:12:06.760 Killing it like just killing it. So anyway, I'm gonna go I'm gonna go see my buddy when I'm over there 00:12:06.760 --> 00:12:12.840 But um, where was I going with this? I forget. So yeah, I've been scoping them out. Yeah, okay 00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:21.520 Anyway, the point is Several outlets are once again accusing NVIDIA of trying to bury any negative coverage of this card 00:12:22.520 --> 00:12:28.600 Before the cards hit the shelves and consumers start ordering. I can't think of another explanation 00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:36.000 I have not heard one, but here's the thing like I don't I can't fathom NVIDIA at this point 00:12:36.560 --> 00:12:45.160 Because on the one hand They like play these silly games and they will they will swear up and down that they are not playing games in 00:12:45.560 --> 00:12:51.120 Situations like this that they that the drivers just weren't quite ready yet or whatever, right? 00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:58.080 But if the drivers aren't ready yet, then just delay it. Okay, so we can we can poke 00:12:58.920 --> 00:13:01.320 logical holes in any 00:13:02.040 --> 00:13:05.800 Arguments around this right? You are playing 00:13:05.800 --> 00:13:12.280 Games Right. Okay. So now that we've established you are playing games. The question is why 00:13:12.640 --> 00:13:16.080 Yeah, what's the point because every other aspect of your behavior 00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:22.000 indicates you don't give a fuck About these value-oriented g-force cards 00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:27.440 So why the stakes are so low for you? 00:13:28.280 --> 00:13:33.440 just They I've called for this before I'm gonna do it again 00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:40.760 Spin off g-force Just spin it off as a separate business unit 00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:47.160 Then you don't have to worry about the crappy P&L. That's like mucking up your beautiful 00:13:47.680 --> 00:13:53.040 AI the self-driving machine vision, you know friggin 00:13:54.400 --> 00:13:58.480 Digits the grid like beautiful balance sheet, right? 00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:06.920 It can just sit over there and have like crappier margins and a bunch of retail customers that are like a ton of work and like 00:14:06.920 --> 00:14:13.040 Are winding at you all the time and you got this tech media that you basically has a borderline 00:14:13.560 --> 00:14:20.760 Adversarial relationship with you at this point. You just go silo that off. You license the chip technology to them 00:14:20.760 --> 00:14:23.320 They do they handle all the g-force drivers and everything 00:14:23.760 --> 00:14:33.720 Why not? What is the argument against it at this point because they clearly like you look at how botched the 50 series launch has been 00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:36.460 They clearly don't have their eye on the prize 00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:42.960 They're not on the ball when it comes to g-force because they're demotivated all the money isn't working on this 00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:45.240 Other stuff. So you need to have a separate BU or 00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:49.800 Even even I dare say separate company 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:58.560 NVIDIA g-force call it g-force gaming corp or something who cares you have this separate company whose entire job is to crush it in 00:14:59.160 --> 00:15:04.440 g-force is To delight gamers, you know like you used to 00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:11.480 Because I just I just don't understand it they say there's no game right but like 00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:18.400 And Way lower importance and it like has to be when looking at their financial statements, but 00:15:18.920 --> 00:15:23.720 When you look at like the original CES announcement of the 5000 series you still led with 00:15:24.520 --> 00:15:32.600 G-force stuff the vast majority of the presentation a hook. No, I know but if that's still the hook, then I don't think you split it off 00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:37.400 I'm not convinced that the average NVIDIA data center 00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:40.680 Procureer, you know chief procurement 00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:47.320 Person at some you know AI thing. I'm not convinced that they really give two hoots about how good a 00:15:47.800 --> 00:15:52.320 RTX whatever is I'm I don't I don't know man for sure, but there might be an expectation that they do 00:15:53.280 --> 00:15:58.640 And if you get that chief procureer guy to buy a 5090 I 00:15:59.160 --> 00:16:04.320 Do think there's a higher chance that that person will have some type of bias towards that sure 00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:08.720 But there's plenty of cases where you have somewhat affiliate a affiliated excuse me 00:16:09.160 --> 00:16:17.200 Affiliated companies who cross-license technology between them and they could still they could even call it like NVIDIA Corp and NVIDIA gaming Corp 00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:22.200 Right like there's there's no reason not to 00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:29.720 Still, you know retain some in NVIDIA, you know branding retain some association the the beginning of that keynote could have been 00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:32.560 We're excited to announce with our partner g-force Corp 00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:37.080 The based on our all-new architecture that the g-force whatever 00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:42.520 Jensen could even hire himself as the CEO of the other company. I don't care 00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:47.400 The point is just that they got to get it off the balance sheet so they can get realistic 00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:52.640 About what consumers can afford in terms of their margins. I don't think it's gonna change 00:16:53.760 --> 00:16:59.400 Well, what do you mean by realistic in terms of what consumers can afford because they're selling everything right now anyways 00:16:59.920 --> 00:17:07.000 so like In regards to what they will pay, which is all that they actually care about not what can they afford 00:17:08.040 --> 00:17:11.800 They're doing it. So maybe they are really realistic about it 00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:18.360 Like if we're just being honest because every time that there's been a GPU shortage or you know 00:17:18.360 --> 00:17:24.280 Everybody buying cards for mining or whatever they've flown off the shelves every time and consumers have shown that they'll buy 00:17:24.840 --> 00:17:30.000 Scalped GPUs for $3,000 a pop because they want four more FPS in fortnight 00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:33.000 Like this 00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:39.240 You just can't use the word realistic when they're like out of stock everywhere and 00:17:40.360 --> 00:17:45.240 That's the other hole that I can poke in there. We're not playing games story 00:17:45.760 --> 00:17:49.560 They're gonna be out of stock anyway. Yeah, so launch it a week 00:17:49.560 --> 00:17:54.520 The biggest one for me so launch it a week later or two weeks later. It doesn't matter 00:17:54.880 --> 00:18:00.720 Keep keep the production going full tilt, which you obviously haven't been doing anyway 00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:05.160 Yeah, keep produce as much as you can and you're still gonna sell it on launch day anyway 00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:09.440 Just in case that's confusing for people he means because they're putting production towards data center stuff 00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:15.560 Yes, these cards with that said with that said prices have started to creep down a little bit 00:18:16.320 --> 00:18:21.080 They're creeping down though. I don't think that's invidious stated prices not as no no no no no because well 00:18:21.080 --> 00:18:25.800 They've never officially changed to the MSRP. So yeah, but the street prices are 00:18:27.800 --> 00:18:32.920 Slowly ticking their way down. There's not really any pressure on them on the high end, but I 00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:40.600 There's none. You know what? I'm taking some validation here. I'm gonna do a little victory lap. I know unusual thing 00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:46.960 Go ahead press the button, but he doesn't know. I'm pretty sure well anyway. I 00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:51.000 Think that Intel's 00:18:52.080 --> 00:18:59.400 Presence in the market is a threat. Oh, yeah, I mean, I hope so dude. That's that's the theory that I've clung to and 00:19:01.560 --> 00:19:07.520 Battlemage Seems legit like and seems to be selling legit 00:19:07.520 --> 00:19:11.880 That you see how many board partners they have now like that's an indication 00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:18.120 I haven't looked into that dude dude We're at the point now where they're like almost breaking into brands 00:19:18.120 --> 00:19:24.680 You would have considered buying a GPU from before Intel GPUs like I know it's not like it got a low amount of views 00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:27.320 It got it got over a million views, but this video is 00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:31.240 Very interesting and if you haven't watched it, you should go watch it 00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:39.720 It's not just like oh did I have bugs or not? The conclusion is very interesting and how they both got to their individual conclusions is very interesting 00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:46.280 You should go watch the video like you could you can buy an arc B580 from like Acer or as rock as rock 00:19:46.280 --> 00:19:49.840 I'd say is like the closest we're getting to like a real 00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:55.760 Add-in board partner when I start seeing like, you know MSI Gigabyte ASUS 00:19:55.960 --> 00:20:01.600 Putting their necks out to want to be part of the arc train then I'm gonna I'm gonna really be a believer 00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:06.880 But at least it's not at least it's not all you know on X 00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:11.760 Yeah Onyx does seem to be a significant player for Intel here 00:20:11.760 --> 00:20:19.240 So there does seem to be a little bit of Desperation factor, but they're not the only one anymore and that's that's exciting to me 00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:28.320 So I I'm gonna say hey, I'm I'm glad I'm standing behind everything I said about the importance of Intel being part of this and 00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:32.840 Like we said in the title of that video Luke just popped up 00:20:33.360 --> 00:20:37.920 please Please Intel do not can 00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:46.120 Discrete graphics, please because the thing is it's not like they're gonna stop development of arc arc is a key 00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:50.360 Strategic piece for them continuing to compete with AMD on mobility 00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:55.880 So it's not like it's not like celestial and druid are not going to be developed 00:20:55.960 --> 00:21:03.360 It's just a question of whether we're gonna get the large-scale more power-hungry ones that would go in and add in GPU and 00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:10.840 It is not a good sign that Be 770 the bigger card for this generation is allegedly canceled 00:21:10.840 --> 00:21:16.960 Although I did see a rumor that allegedly it is like uncancelled or maybe was never cancelled and maybe is still coming 00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:22.360 Dude the rumor mill around Intel's GPUs have actually has actually been horrible 00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:32.640 Like it's been way more Inflammatory and also inaccurate than most rumor mill cycles. I'm not gonna name a particular youtuber 00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:40.320 But there is a particular youtuber that on like a super regular basis would be talking about how arc is definitely 00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:43.920 Cancelled now like repeatedly to the point where I'm just like 00:21:44.560 --> 00:21:48.680 Dude even a broken clock is right a couple times a day 00:21:48.840 --> 00:21:54.440 Like can you just can you just not even bother anymore at this point because like I just got tired of reading it 00:21:54.440 --> 00:21:58.840 Yeah, and other sites would just would just pick up these rumors and just run with them 00:21:58.840 --> 00:22:03.640 And I'm like, do you have any idea how stressful that is to the people that actually work? 00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:06.720 Within that department that are just rough 00:22:07.320 --> 00:22:14.560 What what what what and then and then it turns out to not even be true and we 100% get arc battle major. It's like, okay 00:22:14.560 --> 00:22:21.040 So what was this based on? Like I don't know man. I don't know man 00:22:22.840 --> 00:22:27.680 Anyway, no, I'm not no, I'm not gonna name and shame. I'm not interested in naming and shaming but 00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:35.760 Apparently b770 is anticipated to you know what? I'm not even gonna read these specs, but I really hope I really hope it happens cuz 00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:43.240 Battlemage man Let's go. All right. What else we got? What else we got you want to talk about the other big one? Sure 00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:52.800 Why not can Nintendo just like be likeable? No for once like I just dude. I just want to it's kind of like, okay 00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:57.200 Okay, what's it like? Okay, it's like if you love KitKats, you know 00:22:57.680 --> 00:23:00.720 And you just you just want to enjoy your KitKat 00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:08.440 Without thinking about all the fucking water. This company is stealing from all the poorest people on earth 00:23:08.600 --> 00:23:11.120 Nestle yeah, and you're just like I 00:23:11.800 --> 00:23:17.440 Can't even enjoy this. I just want to guilt-free enjoy Mario 00:23:19.120 --> 00:23:25.280 Okay, I just I just I don't want to I don't want to think about the beast that I'm feeding 00:23:25.520 --> 00:23:31.560 Can you even like with something like this? Oh, no, I'm sorry. Cobbie KitKat is Nestle. Yeah 00:23:32.560 --> 00:23:39.640 Right, I know so many things are nice. I love KitKats. Turns out it's easy to be profitable when you're just objectively evil 00:23:39.640 --> 00:23:44.640 Oh, yeah, yeah, dude. I mean look we're pretty profitable 00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:48.720 And I don't I don't think I don't think we do imagine how much more profitable 00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:56.480 Think about all the gambling sponsorships right all the like all the alcohol all the alcohol sponsorships we could have taken over the years 00:23:56.480 --> 00:24:02.560 Yeah And the number of people that hate us anyway, it's like what what was even the point 00:24:02.560 --> 00:24:06.320 Oh, apparently KitKat is Nestle in Canada, but Hershey in the USA 00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:17.120 Oh, what? Really? Uh, I think already you said that. Oh, yeah, I did not know is what what? 00:24:17.360 --> 00:24:20.720 Oh Thank goodness says copy 00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:28.160 Oh, man Yeah, anyway, okay. Well, I just so I just have to go that well 00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:34.640 Nestle does not own the Hershey company Nestle does have a licensing agreement with Hershey to manufacture and distribute KitKat and 00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:40.640 Rolo products in the United States. However, Hershey is a separate independent company. That's a AI overview from the L Google 00:24:41.040 --> 00:24:44.080 Okay. Well, hopefully that's uh accurate either way 00:24:44.800 --> 00:24:49.040 It's okay. Yeah, KitKat. Okay. So all I have to do is go down to the states 00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:54.320 buy a ton of KitKats Get to the border 00:24:54.400 --> 00:24:56.400 Hope that I can cross the border 00:24:58.080 --> 00:25:02.960 And that they don't have any questions about the mountain of KitKats in my trunk 00:25:03.040 --> 00:25:08.720 Apparently there are many products that are owned by Hershey's, but they are still licensed and produced by Nestle 00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:14.160 Oh, I see. So Nestle is probably profiting in some way. Nice 00:25:15.120 --> 00:25:23.360 nice Anyway, Nintendo is under fire once again after adding a clause to their end user license agreement 00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:28.720 That asks users to waive their right to join a class action lawsuit 00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:36.080 Joycon driftgate anyone Users can still sue individually 00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:42.320 Or they can waive the arbitration notice by sending a written letter to nintendo of america's office 00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:47.360 But nintendo is instructing users to contact customer service instead as 00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:50.640 Most matters can be quickly resolved in this manner 00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:55.840 Um to our customer satisfaction Which is fair enough 00:25:55.920 --> 00:26:04.880 In which case you shouldn't need An arbitrage uh, you should uh, sorry, uh, you shouldn't need to um 00:26:05.600 --> 00:26:10.080 Have a thing that waives arbitration. Yes. Thank you. That's the words. I was looking for appreciate you 00:26:11.360 --> 00:26:17.920 I knew you were here for the reason why I do all the talking Does that hold up in court like ever? I know you can't answer this but like 00:26:18.560 --> 00:26:23.280 I think if you give people the right to waive it, there's a solid chance and I mean realistically 00:26:23.760 --> 00:26:28.160 Realistically. Oh my god. I can't believe we're doing this again. Realistically. It's kind of like the whole warranty thing 00:26:28.880 --> 00:26:34.560 It's not about whether nintendo is allowed to do that. Okay, apparently legal eagle said no as well. Yeah 00:26:34.800 --> 00:26:38.240 It's about it's about what are the obstacles and what are the 00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:44.480 This will muddy the waters for sure It'll muddy the waters it will make it take more time and it will make it more expensive 00:26:44.640 --> 00:26:50.080 Yeah, so even if you could go out and get like an outstanding lawyer who could be like 00:26:50.720 --> 00:26:57.760 Actually, nintendo know the barrier to entry is going to be higher right to break through this 00:26:58.400 --> 00:27:05.920 And that's what nintendo is doing That's what creating it almost feels like a reminder of who they are because we already know 00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:11.440 From personal experience That lawyers are scared of nintendo 00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:21.600 Remember We do know that. Yeah We do know that so this almost feels like a reminder or like a you know, um 00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:27.200 Don't open the gate. There's a dog. You know, you can see the dog. You can hear the dog, but there's also a sign 00:27:27.600 --> 00:27:36.320 This feels like the sign It's just man. It's it's frustrating and I think I think it's also one of those things where they're creating an environment 00:27:37.360 --> 00:27:44.560 Nintendo is the gorilla Yeah, that's a fun the the hundred men, which is the lawyers. Anyway, sorry 00:27:46.560 --> 00:27:54.720 Yeah Can a hundred lawyers defeat nintendo? It also feels like they're trying to to make the individual user feel like I mean even 00:27:54.960 --> 00:28:02.240 Even the simple fact of us Talking about this is going to make nintendo's users feel like oh, it's pointless 00:28:03.040 --> 00:28:08.640 Because they're doing this arbitration thing. I'm not going to send no letter ain't nobody got time for that 00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:15.440 So realistically I've agreed to this so you know, whatever and the stupidest part is what nintendo said is completely 00:28:15.520 --> 00:28:20.960 True. They could satisfy people by just sending them a new stupid joy con 00:28:21.840 --> 00:28:26.880 So then why don't they need this clause? Just in case they decide they don't want to 00:28:27.840 --> 00:28:32.960 And that's where I get back to the whole warranty thing. That's why every warranty has outs in it 00:28:33.280 --> 00:28:37.840 Because it's written for the protection of the company and has nothing to do with protecting the user 00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:42.080 And it doesn't matter how good guy they are and how trust me bro 00:28:42.320 --> 00:28:49.840 They are at the end of the day It just comes down to their willingness in that moment with that current leadership team because those change 00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:57.360 To fulfill to honor your request So nintendo knows that they could fix this problem by sending you a new flipping joy con 00:28:57.680 --> 00:29:02.800 But they're putting this clause in to make sure that if they are ever in a position where they don't feel like it 00:29:03.120 --> 00:29:08.800 They don't have to the interpretation or these people will think they don't have to read elsewhere was that this was 00:29:09.360 --> 00:29:12.720 like is this It's actually really about joy cons 00:29:13.440 --> 00:29:16.800 So I thought this was um, no, it's probably not modding switches 00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:21.360 I don't think it's about joy cons them them being able to brick your switch. Oh, no, that's a separate one 00:29:21.840 --> 00:29:28.880 That's the other one separately They have updated the account agreement to reserve the right to make your console 00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:34.720 permanently unusable Aka brick it if you lease 00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:40.320 rent sub-license publish copy modify 00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:48.800 Adapt translate reverse engineer decompile or disassemble all or any portion of the nintendo account 00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:54.400 services Bruh 00:29:55.440 --> 00:29:59.920 Nice This was the topic I was reading that's why I was confused 00:30:00.320 --> 00:30:06.480 One thousand percent Do not own the nintendo console you buy anymore, which would be fine 00:30:07.280 --> 00:30:11.600 It or it would be more fine if we were still in the era of like 00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:16.080 carts that actually had all the game data on them and that actually 00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:19.840 Worked completely without nintendo's online services 00:30:20.320 --> 00:30:29.040 But is way worse In the era of carts that don't have game data on them and that nintendo can just decide at some point 00:30:29.760 --> 00:30:35.680 Or could stop existing at some point however unlikely and they just like don't work anymore 00:30:35.840 --> 00:30:39.280 And it's like illegal or whatever to try to get it working 00:30:39.840 --> 00:30:43.760 They can probably ban individual carts too. Dude, this is this is crazy 00:30:44.800 --> 00:30:49.280 This is crazy. I wonder if they detected that a cart was being used too many times if they would ban it 00:30:50.160 --> 00:30:54.880 Ah, I don't know if there's a uses I do I do think this is one of those things that again 00:30:54.960 --> 00:31:00.160 They they'd probably want to be too trustworthy a bro to just do this all the time 00:31:00.800 --> 00:31:04.640 But it does definitely give them tools to go after 00:31:05.440 --> 00:31:10.400 The modding community, especially you know anyone who's 00:31:11.360 --> 00:31:14.560 Trying to unlock homebrew gaming on their switch too 00:31:15.360 --> 00:31:21.360 In a way that they potentially haven't before and especially anyone who tries to enable any kind of online functionality 00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:24.960 I think that's the thing that this is mostly going after 00:31:25.040 --> 00:31:31.920 Especially because they they make it clear that this is part of the account agreement and they are specifically referring to nintendo account services 00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:35.840 um Either way 00:31:35.840 --> 00:31:42.800 It is very clear that nintendo is tightening the news when it comes to emulation 00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:45.440 console hacking 00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:49.600 Look as someone who buys my nintendo games 00:31:50.560 --> 00:31:53.280 Like this doesn't impact me financially 00:31:53.760 --> 00:31:58.560 But as I suspect this will change the purchasing decision of extremely few people 00:31:58.720 --> 00:32:06.480 But as someone who really likes emulation for lots of other reasons and as someone who cares about 00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:10.400 archiving and preserving game history 00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:14.320 I am not stoked is is what i'll kind of say about that 00:32:15.360 --> 00:32:18.560 um, this is a great great comment in chat from uh 00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:26.560 Oh, but yeah hathos says a million plus people playing tears of the kingdom before launch on yuzu really 00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:32.480 set nintendo down a harsh path and I guess I can I can I can understand that to a degree 00:32:32.560 --> 00:32:36.160 I mean, it's not like nintendo doesn't have evidence like real 00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:46.880 hard evidence to point to That they have been impacted and if you're going to pull out that tired argument that there's no proof that piracy 00:32:47.520 --> 00:32:54.160 Ever affected the the the income of the those million people wouldn't have bought the game and stop 00:32:55.120 --> 00:32:58.320 Really you're gonna tell me out of a million people 00:32:59.360 --> 00:33:04.320 None of them. It's yeah, it's not it's not a one-to-one. You can actually stop now. There was 00:33:05.360 --> 00:33:08.480 uh cases 00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:15.360 Back in the day, I think with like napster and stuff. Oh, yeah 100 where where they the the the lawsuit was based on a one-to-one loss 00:33:15.600 --> 00:33:22.880 Which is why people quote that which is legitimate obviously stupid. Yes, nintendo did not lose out on a million sales 00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:26.000 I think it's but it also wasn't zero 00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:33.760 Yeah, I think it's somewhere in the middle But I think it shifts closer towards the zero side than the million side and significantly closer towards either way 00:33:34.560 --> 00:33:38.880 If it was 10 percent, then it's still if it was five percent 00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:44.400 It's still a lot. It was a big number. Yeah, and that's that's the bottom line right a large sum of dollarinos 00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:50.480 Is companies will only ignore this stuff until it hits their bottom line hard enough that the cost 00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:57.200 of dealing with it iron fisted Is less than the cost of absorbing these activities 00:33:58.160 --> 00:34:00.880 And that's where we're at. I think I think um 00:34:02.080 --> 00:34:06.320 nintendo's opinion on that is a little bit more 00:34:08.400 --> 00:34:13.840 On the rather deal with it iron fisted side. Oh, yeah 100 percent given their precedence unique username goes 00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:20.400 actually With the correct spelling a c k s c h u a l l y 00:34:21.120 --> 00:34:24.080 Pirates helped nintendo sell more copies by word of mouth 00:34:24.800 --> 00:34:32.160 Oh that that that argument is also exhausting. It's like it very good. It literally makes me tired immediately 00:34:32.160 --> 00:34:35.200 I know you're kidding. I know I know you keep it up. I know you're kidding 00:34:35.520 --> 00:34:41.520 But that it when I see that when I see that kind of stuff unironically. I'm just like you gotta wear them down 00:34:41.760 --> 00:34:46.400 I'm so tired. Also, if you think that nintendo cares at all about word of mouth marketing 00:34:46.800 --> 00:34:52.080 um, may I present Exhibit a every games streamer that they've ever stomped on 00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:55.360 Who's like speed running their games or like 00:34:56.000 --> 00:35:03.840 Doing something really cool like collecting all the corox seeds or whatever that nintendo has dmca nintendo don't give a f*** 00:35:04.640 --> 00:35:10.240 At all about word of mouth marketing. I tell you what uh, all right. What else we got today 00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:18.960 Dan Oh, are you are you like you've got lots of topics? Are you buried in merch messages or something? No, I've got like three 00:35:19.280 --> 00:35:27.440 Oh, okay, cool. I'm just dealing with some other stuff. Um If you've got lots of topics you're like 15 minutes ahead, so you could move on to another one if you want 00:35:27.520 --> 00:35:31.680 Okay, we do another topic. Yeah, it's not like a real job or something. Yeah, I'm trying to do it at the same time 00:35:31.840 --> 00:35:34.160 So, oh, okay. Hey, did you fix my air table issue? 00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:37.520 Did you submit a feedback request I emailed in for 00:35:38.320 --> 00:35:42.800 Which one? I just like when I get a notice for email infra 00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:48.640 That's all I know how to do emailed infra. Yeah, not only is that the wrong thing to do. I'll fix it right now 00:35:48.720 --> 00:35:52.480 That's not even the right thing to do if you're trying to contact infra about an issue 00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:55.920 Which isn't what you were trying to do here. Yes, it was no 00:35:56.320 --> 00:36:01.440 I was trying to contact them about you're trying to submit an air table when did you send every single air table page? 00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:07.520 All of them have a button on it to submit feedback. Are you sure? Yeah, it might be some of them 00:36:08.240 --> 00:36:11.520 How sure are you because I when did you submit this feedback? 00:36:11.920 --> 00:36:17.920 Uh, I've done it twice now Once was at some point and then the other time was today 00:36:18.640 --> 00:36:23.040 Uh today. Yeah Well, I don't know man. I'm just I got a thing 00:36:23.520 --> 00:36:26.880 I got a thing. I got I got a link in my email. It was like, oh, you got a 00:36:27.520 --> 00:36:30.080 Somebody mentioned you on air table and I was like, oh, okay 00:36:30.560 --> 00:36:34.720 And I clicked it and then it sent me to this page and I was like, what is this? 00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:38.720 What is what is this page? I don't understand this page. Look, I clicked view comment 00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:45.920 I want to view the comment And I don't know where this one's gonna go. Maybe it's gonna go to the and I just goes here. I don't know what this is 00:36:47.280 --> 00:36:53.200 That's not particularly helpful. I just scroll infinitely and did you open a ticket about I scroll for no, I emailed infra 00:36:54.080 --> 00:36:58.240 I don't have access to that email Well, maybe you should 00:36:58.960 --> 00:37:02.640 Again, that is just Has I think literally never been the right way 00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:08.160 Diademy me says I love the parts of when that show the realities of medium-sized company life 00:37:08.400 --> 00:37:13.360 Did you just be there yet? No No, we have an infra alias for LMG 00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:18.320 I I meant that one. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, that's can you send that to me 00:37:18.640 --> 00:37:20.640 I'll have to dig it up because that's not 00:37:21.760 --> 00:37:25.280 Well, I just sent me to it sent me to the look look look this is not user air 00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:29.360 I clicked a thing and it sent me to the like this random page that just has a bunch of random 00:37:29.360 --> 00:37:34.960 No, I understand the user error. Sure. We can fix stuff, but it's just well you made it sound like I should 00:37:35.120 --> 00:37:40.320 I should automatically know that I should submit a ticket through here or something. I'm like, there's no ticket on the desktop 00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:44.160 I know why that I'll punch you. I'll punch your ticket. Let's go 00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:49.520 On the desktop site, there should be a button in the top right hand corner, but also desktop. What year is it? 00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:58.560 Do you not have phones? I know why that happened desktop. I know why that happened. Luke. It's fine. I my problem is he's like 00:37:59.520 --> 00:38:06.400 I don't know at least at least when you look look Luke Luke Luke and that's okay. Luke. I'm gonna let you finish 00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:13.840 I'm gonna let you finish, but I do not even know how to submit a ticket. I know I have no idea. I know nobody even 00:38:14.560 --> 00:38:19.200 Onboarded me to air table That literally has not happened yet and that's fine 00:38:19.520 --> 00:38:25.520 But if you have a problem you can don't don't just like send an email to a random. It's not random 00:38:25.600 --> 00:38:30.640 It's in but there's official ways to send in tickets to infra, which is not that 00:38:31.280 --> 00:38:36.640 Nobody ever told me that. Yes. We did. No. No. Yes. We did whenever I email infra 00:38:36.640 --> 00:38:39.840 They just deal with my problem because it's you not because you're doing it, right? 00:38:40.560 --> 00:38:43.840 I'm just telling you they don't tell me to do it differently. They just deal with my problem 00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:48.480 Linus and future just DM me and yell at me, but they tell me not to DM Dan 00:38:49.360 --> 00:38:52.320 You you get special rules special. Oh boy 00:38:52.640 --> 00:38:57.680 I gotta scroll through the general chat for like a million years until I find the post where we tell everyone how to do this 00:38:58.000 --> 00:39:02.880 Oh, there's I don't read that. Why would you read that? I only nobody reads anything. Luke. No, no 00:39:03.040 --> 00:39:06.480 It happened today with the group chat. I don't want to talk to you about it right now 00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:11.440 But we're gonna talk after the show. Do you have any idea like how many channels I'm in? 00:39:11.520 --> 00:39:18.640 I think I know what you're talking about. If you don't tag me I don't read it. If you email me. I don't read it. You had a DM me so I go. Oh god. No 00:39:19.040 --> 00:39:22.560 If Dude, if all I ever did 00:39:22.720 --> 00:39:26.000 Was just or sorry if I read everything that anyone ever 00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:30.000 Sent me every channel that I'm in I would literally do nothing else all day. I can't 00:39:30.560 --> 00:39:33.360 It's actually because normally you you email me 00:39:34.320 --> 00:39:37.520 No, yeah, but no you have no idea how often I email in for it. The 00:39:38.880 --> 00:39:44.000 The last the last air table issue that you had you ccb on it. Oh, yeah, I just felt unnecessary 00:39:44.960 --> 00:39:50.960 You need to read it. It's just a random. It's it seems like just a linking issue because it is it is. Yeah, because you're not 00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:55.760 But they'll hold it for me. Yeah, that is the marching orders 00:39:57.280 --> 00:39:59.280 But it's still not proper 00:40:01.120 --> 00:40:03.120 Because I can't like I want to go home 00:40:04.320 --> 00:40:09.200 You'll go home when you're done with air table. I can't do this anymore. He's never going home that 00:40:10.160 --> 00:40:15.520 It feels like it already I clicked the wrong single sign and I love that no from like from your presentation 00:40:16.080 --> 00:40:24.480 It's it's never over. Yeah. Yeah, that's what Dan said He literally got up in front of the entire company at an all hands and was like when is air table done? 00:40:25.040 --> 00:40:28.240 Never And everyone was like 00:40:29.520 --> 00:40:33.040 Cool That should be what people want 00:40:34.480 --> 00:40:38.240 Yeah, because it'll always get better. No, no, we understood. We understood what you meant Dan Dan 00:40:38.320 --> 00:40:45.760 Oh, no, oh dad. You see you don't understand because you don't see all the communication about air table. Jesus christ. I can't 00:40:46.560 --> 00:40:51.280 You can't let's just stomp on the single person more. That's a that's a good idea. That's why I'm here 00:40:52.160 --> 00:40:56.080 I'm the boot goop. Hey, how else are the boots going to get clean? 00:41:02.160 --> 00:41:09.120 I'll do whatever you want. Just be nice of me Anything for a head pat? Oh my god 00:41:12.240 --> 00:41:18.000 What are we supposed to do? You're in the middle of a topic. What was it? I don't remember 00:41:18.560 --> 00:41:23.520 I don't think we are dealing with emails. I don't think we started a topic. Um 00:41:24.240 --> 00:41:30.400 Why don't we do why don't we do the thing? Let's do the let's do the thing with the merge messages. Sure. I need some merge messages 00:41:31.360 --> 00:41:38.560 Um Oh, we have deals and new items on LTT Store this weekend 00:41:39.520 --> 00:41:46.720 What What? No, I want to know I want to know what it is. We're going luke cam until you explain 00:41:46.960 --> 00:41:52.160 You're supposed to explain merge messages. You said let's do the merge messages thing in the middle. Oh 00:41:54.240 --> 00:42:00.000 Oh, yeah, well, okay, so luke luke made a startling discovery that his co-host has adhd 00:42:01.280 --> 00:42:04.160 Congratulations, luke. There's a reason why I didn't stop you 00:42:08.960 --> 00:42:10.960 Uh, okay merge messages 00:42:12.800 --> 00:42:16.480 We don't do super chats. We don't do twitch bits. We do merge messages 00:42:16.560 --> 00:42:21.040 All you got to do to interact with the show and send a little message over to producer Dan 00:42:21.360 --> 00:42:26.880 Is head to lttstore.com add something to your cart You'll get a little box that'll pop up when we're live 00:42:26.880 --> 00:42:32.800 You can leave a merge message and Dan will either reply to it or forward it to the correct person internally 00:42:32.880 --> 00:42:37.840 Or he will curate it for me and luke to answer on the show 00:42:38.400 --> 00:42:46.880 So i'm Supposed to now let Dan read one merge message. I this is hilarious. You guys check this out in the doc 00:42:47.040 --> 00:42:50.560 Okay in the announcement section. There is this block of text 00:42:51.360 --> 00:42:56.480 I have been told that this block of text has existed for well over a year 00:42:56.880 --> 00:43:01.920 Yeah, it doesn't sound right to me. I had never read it. It sounds a little hyperbolic Dan 00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:06.480 Did you did you tell did you tell us this last week or two weeks ago? It's been there for many weeks 00:43:06.560 --> 00:43:11.200 Are they considering last like I did there for over a year and it was there in 2024 00:43:11.360 --> 00:43:15.280 Okay, well, I I don't know. I was told it has been there for a I have never seen it 00:43:15.840 --> 00:43:21.680 I have never noticed it because I have this thing where I just sort of filter out irrelevant information 00:43:21.760 --> 00:43:26.640 And it seemed irrelevant when everything's bold Nothing is bold the thing is you know what i'm saying 00:43:26.960 --> 00:43:31.520 We had talked about this a couple weeks ago and I think I clarified that it's actually for me 00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:37.760 And I was not really expecting you guys to ever read instructions in the doc because that's not your job, right? 00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:44.080 So so so we've been given a hard time about doing all the merge messages in the wrong order and the announcements and whatever 00:43:44.320 --> 00:43:50.080 And we're like what order and they're like, yo, it's right there and I was like, oh, okay 00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:57.600 So let's do one merge message Go ahead Dan hit me. No, I was just wanting you to read the Floatplane announcements because I'm I'm with you guys 00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:08.160 Okay, fine fine fine No, I'm making it more effective. No, you said when everything's bold nothing is bold 00:44:09.440 --> 00:44:13.840 So I'm making half of it there now everything's bold and nothing is bold 00:44:14.320 --> 00:44:16.320 My amazing work has been overwritten 00:44:17.360 --> 00:44:21.520 It was so beautiful I guess I guess it was 00:44:23.200 --> 00:44:25.200 Stop 00:44:30.080 --> 00:44:32.400 There i have some zelgo techs I hate working here 00:44:35.280 --> 00:44:39.760 Hey Any chance you can provide an update on the status of custom LTT cables 00:44:39.840 --> 00:44:44.400 I'm planning on overhauling my setup and I want to wait so I can buy cables made by your team. Thanks 00:44:44.480 --> 00:44:49.120 They are in certification the samples I've seen are flipping 00:44:50.080 --> 00:44:53.280 Awesome, they're not going to be cheap, but they are going to be 00:44:54.320 --> 00:44:58.000 Flipping awesome. Um, I think 00:44:59.200 --> 00:45:05.120 I think the certification is being done like post production of the raw cable but pre 00:45:05.680 --> 00:45:14.320 Cutting of the lengths and putting Terminations on them So I think a lot of the production is actually done with that said even though the company that we're working with 00:45:14.400 --> 00:45:24.080 Is not in china The productions in china because we started this project like two years ago or something like that. So um 00:45:24.720 --> 00:45:30.160 For my american friends The cables may be out of the reach 00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:33.360 For the price but 00:45:36.240 --> 00:45:41.360 Cool For the rest of the world we are we are doing some serious work on 00:45:42.080 --> 00:45:47.600 Um Getting our global shipping rates down that is something that we're we're working very hard on 00:45:47.680 --> 00:45:53.760 I've been informed that I misspoke last week when I said that we have been subsidizing global shipping with us shipping 00:45:54.000 --> 00:46:01.760 What the situation actually was was we consolidate our shipments from canada and send them to the us because it is cheaper to ship from the us 00:46:03.040 --> 00:46:08.320 So our shipping is more expensive now because we are shipping directly from canada 00:46:08.960 --> 00:46:15.920 Not because anybody was subsidizing anyone but what I said about the about the um, the more urban postal codes 00:46:16.240 --> 00:46:21.920 Subsidizing the more rural postal codes. That's just I think that's how literally everything works. That is true 00:46:21.920 --> 00:46:26.960 And that is how literally everything works. That's why your internet plan in rural missouri 00:46:27.520 --> 00:46:33.760 Costs an affordable amount of money theoretically. Maybe what but you probably get terrible service affordable amount of money 00:46:34.480 --> 00:46:38.800 Instead of just not existing at all. You still probably have terrible service. That's just how it works 00:46:39.040 --> 00:46:45.600 Um, so yeah, I just wanted to I wanted to clarify that anyway. We're working on our shipping rates worldwide and um 00:46:46.240 --> 00:46:49.280 So hopefully we'll be moving a lot of cables that are super high quality 00:46:49.360 --> 00:46:52.320 But I don't know how many of them are going to go to the states unless we can 00:46:53.040 --> 00:46:55.520 Maybe we can figure out some way to highly 00:46:56.160 --> 00:47:01.760 Transformatively do something to them here in canada whether I I don't I don't know I don't know but right now 00:47:02.080 --> 00:47:08.320 It looks like that's going to be a made in china product and it could be a real challenge with that said I think that the 00:47:09.200 --> 00:47:17.760 um I think the tariff situation is highly highly fluid and I I don't know with sort of how things are going 00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:21.360 I mean people are already starting to talk about the mid-term elections, right? 00:47:21.760 --> 00:47:25.200 So with how things are going and how public sentiment is on the tariffs 00:47:25.840 --> 00:47:29.920 Even now before the real impact has really been felt 00:47:30.640 --> 00:47:33.120 I think there's a solid chance that they will be reduced but 00:47:36.960 --> 00:47:45.440 I need to There you go. Nice. Yeah, there you go. Who's even gonna run? I don't know. Well, no, no, no mid-term elections are for 00:47:45.760 --> 00:47:55.760 Senate in the house And and it tends to be that you know, whatever the president's popularity is tends to impact that makes sense the other races. Yeah 00:47:56.240 --> 00:48:02.320 Um, so now that we've read a merch message, do we want to explain them? This is hilarious 00:48:03.120 --> 00:48:08.560 Kumo star says no, it's actually cheaper to run your own fiber in bum. M. Missouri 00:48:09.360 --> 00:48:14.080 Yeah, that's uh, that is so that's why I said you get bad service. Yeah, you'll be on like very 00:48:14.560 --> 00:48:21.120 Yeah, yeah, yeah Sorry, did I not explain them the monthly? No, I don't think so. Yeah, I explain merch messages 00:48:21.120 --> 00:48:25.680 They go in the cart and they pet the merch message and then Dan does a thing. I totally did it. You tuned out 00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:28.880 Okay, see that's the thing. He doesn't talk, but he doesn't listen either 00:48:29.440 --> 00:48:32.560 He's he really is like silent bob like he was that one time 00:48:32.960 --> 00:48:37.120 I love that you actually have done what you said you were gonna do and you just only wear these shirts now 00:48:37.280 --> 00:48:41.760 Yeah, so we need to get some graphic tees in the lungs. That would be wonderful. Yeah, okay 00:48:43.120 --> 00:48:48.400 I was packing for my trip and I was like, um, oops all black shirts dude 00:48:48.640 --> 00:48:50.640 I touched a sample 00:48:52.480 --> 00:48:58.640 From south america For our t-shirts that was quite good. Oh, yeah, we're still 00:48:59.600 --> 00:49:06.720 Months away from being able to transition I have no idea if it holds if the if the dyeing holds up over time 00:49:06.800 --> 00:49:11.200 I have no idea if our prints are going to hold up over time There's a ton of validation for us to do before we just like 00:49:11.920 --> 00:49:14.480 Roll a new t-shirt product or whatever, but if 00:49:15.360 --> 00:49:22.080 If they are as good as they seem on the surface then that that could be a good source dude. Nice. Um 00:49:24.640 --> 00:49:29.280 Sorry All right, just don't do it fine 00:49:30.560 --> 00:49:33.440 For you, it doesn't even matter what doesn't matter. No, there's a person 00:49:34.640 --> 00:49:38.880 Doesn't even matter. Uh, anyway, if they're anywhere near as good as they seem then, um 00:49:39.440 --> 00:49:43.520 That'll be that'll be super cool. Maybe in the future at some point.

I mean, that's kind of cool 00:57:53.840 --> 00:57:59.360 Which is almost a win by default, which is great because that's the only kind of win that dell who by the way 00:57:59.360 --> 00:58:02.240 Did I mention is the laptop partner for the WAN Show? 00:58:04.000 --> 00:58:09.520 That's the yeah, sorry That's the only kind of win that dell can really hope for in in secret shopper 00:58:09.520 --> 00:58:13.760 It feels like these days, you know what though, you know what though?

Can you list pros and cons of a company town? 01:01:26.000 --> 01:01:32.800 um If if you knew all employees were on board would you think it's worth the effort to establish an LMG town 01:01:33.040 --> 01:01:42.080 How does this keep being a conversation? If I knew everyone was on board would I be oh would I think it's worth the effort? 01:01:42.080 --> 01:01:47.200 No, I would not think it's we don't operate at that kind of scale. That is line of speech for yes 01:01:47.680 --> 01:01:51.680 That is not if he was fully convinced that every single person was on board 01:01:53.120 --> 01:01:55.600 And that he could buy more real estate in bc 01:01:56.640 --> 01:02:00.960 Would we have our own brand of cheese? line is cheese 01:02:00.960 --> 01:02:08.560 It would melt the best on burgers.

I find it's so hard to care 01:05:58.960 --> 01:06:03.840 Your comments on cheese and I don't even mean because like I don't care what you have to say 01:06:03.920 --> 01:06:07.680 It's just like man. It's the same argument made the other day of like when people were 01:06:08.080 --> 01:06:12.640 Uproarred about the placebo thing. It's like why are you here? Why are you here for that? 01:06:13.040 --> 01:06:16.960 Why are you here for medical stuff? Why are you here for cheese opinions? 01:06:19.440 --> 01:06:22.320 Like really wow you need other things to do 01:06:23.200 --> 01:06:27.840 Dude, it's been it's been wild the way people care about it. Um 01:06:28.720 --> 01:06:31.280 Anyway, so if you like american cheese 01:06:32.080 --> 01:06:35.600 Tell you what eat american cheese 01:06:38.640 --> 01:06:43.680 Nice nice Congrats. Um, enjoy it. Okay. What were we talking about? 01:06:44.480 --> 01:06:53.440 Company towns. Oh lord Um, no, I I know it would not be worth the effort to establish an LMG town like a we're not at nearly the scale 01:06:53.920 --> 01:06:59.120 Where it would make any sense for the number of people that would need to live in it and b 01:06:59.920 --> 01:07:06.000 um Like our operations do not in any way require a company town 01:07:06.400 --> 01:07:12.000 Which could only have downsides compared to just living in an urban center that has like 01:07:12.720 --> 01:07:17.200 Amenities and stuff But what if you could shut down all of the streets to roll around in your 01:07:17.760 --> 01:07:23.760 Fire truck your customized fire truck with the lights uncovered because you just make the laws 01:07:27.200 --> 01:07:34.640 No No, no, no, no upsides. I'm sure there are upsides and it's not like when a ghost town goes up for sale 01:07:35.040 --> 01:07:37.040 I don't see that in my news feed and go 01:07:39.520 --> 01:07:42.880 But it if the company was big enough and if every single person was on board 01:07:43.440 --> 01:07:48.640 Every single person wouldn't be on board people have lives might they have families that they might go to school 01:07:48.800 --> 01:07:54.640 And what if the schools were were better and what if they're housing is more affordable? Why would it be more? 01:07:54.640 --> 01:07:58.720 Of course, it would be why because trust me bro. No my god 01:07:58.960 --> 01:08:02.720 Um, so yeah, I guess if you're asking what the downsides are of a company town 01:08:02.800 --> 01:08:05.440 That's exactly it is the deal is better 01:08:06.080 --> 01:08:10.720 Only until the company that owns the town decides it like shouldn't be better 01:08:11.200 --> 01:08:14.160 And like man, is that ever a lot of eggs to have on one basket? 01:08:14.240 --> 01:08:20.560 Like I remember probably the wisest thing that the owner of ncix ever said to me was on the day that I quit 01:08:21.040 --> 01:08:26.480 And he like kind of tried to negotiate and keep me on board and I went no I've decided to move on and he kind of went 01:08:27.280 --> 01:08:32.240 Okay, um, and I kind of went oh well that like, you know your demeanor your your 01:08:33.200 --> 01:08:37.840 Your tact here changed really suddenly he goes well look. I mean nobody works at one company forever 01:08:38.480 --> 01:08:46.240 so like Let's figure it now that we're at that point now. Let's figure it out and I was like steps. Yeah. Yeah, and I was like that 01:08:47.040 --> 01:08:50.400 That is experience. That's wisdom right there 01:08:50.880 --> 01:08:56.960 And uh, that is why it wouldn't have been good for me to live in the ncix town because 01:08:57.440 --> 01:09:04.000 Now maybe your life would have been so much better Instead of just my livelihood like instead of just my my paycheck 01:09:04.880 --> 01:09:11.040 No longer being at the company now all of a sudden impacts where I live it impacts where my children live potentially 01:09:12.080 --> 01:09:16.400 A dude, uh, I mean and I guess technically you could live in that company town if you don't work there 01:09:16.560 --> 01:09:23.120 Maybe I mean the children clearly don't work there I mean, I don't know with what they're trying to do with labor life and they're not allowed to leave 01:09:23.760 --> 01:09:32.560 uh well You know if you don't work there, you know, that's a good way to make sure that the funding for the the necessities of life 01:09:33.040 --> 01:09:38.080 Yeah Stay in the town and the specifically regimented education system doesn't get 01:09:38.640 --> 01:09:43.680 Like you can have a airport where they fly up in the air and then like go 01:09:44.320 --> 01:09:48.560 Around and they like look at vancouver or look at some other destination then just come back 01:09:48.800 --> 01:09:52.480 This is where all the heathens live. Yeah, you just look at them from up above 01:09:52.960 --> 01:09:55.920 You spit on them from the Floatplane. Yeah. Yeah 01:09:56.880 --> 01:09:59.440 Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Why are you looking? 01:10:01.040 --> 01:10:03.040 This is hilarious 01:10:04.480 --> 01:10:07.920 This is apparently gordon ramsey struggling to melt cheese 01:10:09.280 --> 01:10:12.000 And someone saying it's okay to admit defeat about the cheese 01:10:15.680 --> 01:10:20.800 So you're better than gordon ramsey now. Nope. Yeah, all I said was yeah, all I said was 01:10:21.680 --> 01:10:26.000 Oh The only thing I ever said 01:10:27.440 --> 01:10:30.560 Was that melting cheese on a burger 01:10:31.600 --> 01:10:34.320 Ain't that hard. That's all I said 01:10:35.680 --> 01:10:37.680 That's all I said 01:10:39.360 --> 01:10:43.760 And I got receipts now So whatever 01:10:43.840 --> 01:10:49.120 Uh, okay, uh, yeah company town topic gone. Okay. You want to pick another one or what are we supposed to be doing? 01:10:50.080 --> 01:10:54.320 What even is this show? Uh, yeah 01:10:56.320 --> 01:11:00.880 Datino sent guys says this has been a topic for like three shows 01:11:01.920 --> 01:11:06.720 Yeah, because people leave a lot. I man the stuff people care about I will never understand 01:11:06.800 --> 01:11:12.480 I had blown chewy speaking of things to care about gta 6 for being bad influence on him has been delayed 01:11:12.560 --> 01:11:16.640 Oh, yeah gta 6 you watch a trailer. Of course you watch the trailer. What do you think of the trailer? No, what? 01:11:17.440 --> 01:11:20.960 You got to be kidding even I watch the trailer 01:11:22.560 --> 01:11:25.680 I mean I read the comments, but I think it's for me. No, I actually I watch it 01:11:25.760 --> 01:11:32.240 I watch the check. No, I watch the trailer. I watch the trailer. The thing for me is is that 95 million views? 01:11:33.600 --> 01:11:37.840 Oh, dude, dude Dude, this thing is popping off 01:11:38.880 --> 01:11:45.360 I don't I don't know if there's ever been more hype for a game ever What is gta 6 like two mainstream for you? You're too cool for it. No, is that 01:11:46.000 --> 01:11:49.840 Is that what we're witnessing? No, because I feel like that's what we're witnessing. I'm excited to play it 01:11:49.920 --> 01:11:53.440 Why are you not one of those 96 million people? Because 01:11:53.440 --> 01:11:56.240 It's probably gonna be like two or three years before it's on pc 01:11:57.360 --> 01:11:59.440 And I'm not getting a console just you 01:12:00.400 --> 01:12:03.200 I was gonna say bought but what you really did was borrow it from work 01:12:03.440 --> 01:12:09.600 You got a playstation 4 pro once to play a specific game. Yes. Okay. So you wouldn't do that for gta 01:12:10.160 --> 01:12:14.160 I don't think so Really? Why not gt? What was the other game? I forget horizon 01:12:14.880 --> 01:12:21.040 Oh, and at the time horizon. Yes, zero dot at the time horizon was not coming to pc 01:12:21.520 --> 01:12:26.960 Whereas gta 6 Will be coming to pc just a question of when so i'll just wait 01:12:27.680 --> 01:12:30.160 I did the same thing with uh gta 5 01:12:31.280 --> 01:12:34.880 Just waited So this trailer is not for me 01:12:35.840 --> 01:12:38.080 I see and that's okay. I see okay 01:12:39.440 --> 01:12:42.560 I mean, but you can't just enjoy the jiggle physics same as everybody else 01:12:43.520 --> 01:12:49.200 I heard they're a thing, but no, I don't don't forget the I've heard it's actually like and I haven't actually looked at the trailer 01:12:49.360 --> 01:12:53.680 It's even just as like a tech demo. I've heard it's pretty stunning for what's possible 01:12:54.400 --> 01:13:00.640 Rendered real time on what is like Functionally like a 6000 series radion card or whatever 01:13:02.000 --> 01:13:07.440 Damn, I've heard that's pretty cool. I heard that like today though. So I have no time to watch it 5000 series 01:13:07.520 --> 01:13:10.000 It's like a 5700 x t or something like that. I think like 01:13:10.880 --> 01:13:15.840 Huh, huh? Damn, it looks real good, bro. Yeah, it looks real good. Yeah 01:13:16.560 --> 01:13:24.640 I'll very likely watch it just for that Because people mentioned like I okay a new trailer came out whatever. I'm not gonna play this game for two three years 01:13:24.720 --> 01:13:30.720 What do I care? Um, but then people are commented specifically the bubbles is the main comment that I saw in the beer. Yeah 01:13:31.040 --> 01:13:35.680 Yeah, that's like amazing beer physics. Yeah, which is pretty wild. Yeah, so like that's cool 01:13:35.680 --> 01:13:41.360 I'll watch it from like a interested in tech perspective. I mean, it is one of those things where I feel like we see this 01:13:42.400 --> 01:13:44.880 Time and time again where the trailer 01:13:45.520 --> 01:13:51.520 prominently features the main character or characters and when you're like walking around in the world 01:13:52.320 --> 01:13:56.240 Everything else still looks like a video game um 01:13:56.240 --> 01:14:00.960 But with that said like there's I saw this thread from um from a 01:14:01.520 --> 01:14:07.840 Uh A graphics artist who was our video game artist that was basically just like here's a bunch of stuff that like people might not have 01:14:07.840 --> 01:14:10.880 Like realized is is so cool about this and it's just 01:14:11.600 --> 01:14:14.000 I I don't have the link on me right now, but if you just like 01:14:14.800 --> 01:14:18.480 Kind of google that maybe I'll look at that or dude. There's so many little details 01:14:18.880 --> 01:14:24.720 Like they have like raccoons rummaging in trash bins just like to make the world feel alive. It's 01:14:26.160 --> 01:14:30.240 I didn't think it would be possible for me to look at the trailer and be like 01:14:30.960 --> 01:14:37.440 Yeah, that's why they spent 10 years on this But I looked at the trailer and I went oh perfect. That's why I was hoping this was gonna exist 01:14:37.920 --> 01:14:40.480 I will watch I will watch this 01:14:41.040 --> 01:14:44.080 This is what I will watch. I will not watch the trailer. I will watch this 01:14:44.560 --> 01:14:48.400 Okay, I mean, you know what fair enough. I'd say I'd say game trailers 01:14:49.040 --> 01:14:55.120 Are a perfect example of a time when react content is 100 ethical 01:14:55.600 --> 01:14:58.320 Yeah, 100 because basically 01:14:58.960 --> 01:15:06.240 And the funny thing is we've actually been copyright struck on wandshow for showing game trailers and like reacting to them live 01:15:06.400 --> 01:15:10.320 Which I always thought was wild marketing materials 01:15:10.320 --> 01:15:13.360 Like I think if we went to I think if we went to court on that one 01:15:14.000 --> 01:15:19.760 We're probably going to get off scott free because it's pretty clear that what the impact is on the original content 01:15:19.840 --> 01:15:24.560 And it's pretty clear what the intended purpose of what we're doing and how transformative it is and you know 01:15:24.560 --> 01:15:29.040 Whatever, whatever, um split scream and full plain chat said the that liquid bubble 01:15:30.240 --> 01:15:34.480 That liquid bubble in liquid tech is from half-life alex the dev made it public. That's cool 01:15:36.320 --> 01:15:42.960 Neat Neato very cool. Anyway, so yeah, yeah, sure fine fine watch that but sure just watch the digital foundry thing 01:15:42.960 --> 01:15:49.200 Just just watch it because it's super cool And it really does look like kind of amazing even with crappy youtube compression 01:15:50.800 --> 01:15:52.800 All right, what else we got 01:15:54.960 --> 01:15:59.600 Oh, you want sponsors? Uh, we could do that. Should we do one more one more topic first? 01:16:00.560 --> 01:16:04.960 We got yeah, we got lots man. Do I know a lot of dev response the Linus is macOS gripes 01:16:05.600 --> 01:16:13.200 Oh A very blurry iOS developer. Okay has responded to my macOS is great unless you try to use it 01:16:13.600 --> 01:16:20.640 As a desktop operating system segment on february 28th edition of wandshow. Yeah. Oh, that is very plurry 01:16:21.200 --> 01:16:28.240 Is that a shot at our It's anonymous video. No. No, it's anonymous reviews is the channel name. Okay. No, that's intentional 01:16:29.040 --> 01:16:32.880 The youtuber anonymous reviews has been an iOS developer for about 15 years 01:16:33.600 --> 01:16:38.720 Says they're not a fanboy and uses Windows for gaming and editing the video gets off to a bit of a rocky start 01:16:38.800 --> 01:16:44.560 Excuseing the poor multi monitor behavior by saying it's better than it used to be and we get a detour later on 01:16:45.200 --> 01:16:49.200 teasing that I That I don't know about the control key 01:16:49.520 --> 01:16:55.840 All right, I mean, you know what I think that's a criticism that you're gonna see 01:16:56.800 --> 01:17:00.080 From any power user on any platform 01:17:01.200 --> 01:17:03.760 Of anyone coming in going I can't do 01:17:04.400 --> 01:17:09.120 Yeah x, you know, right and it's like well, I can open up linked in if I put in an incantation 01:17:09.440 --> 01:17:13.600 I could cut if I combine that x with my control 01:17:14.480 --> 01:17:17.840 Or command or whatever, right? Um and hotkeys 01:17:18.800 --> 01:17:22.480 Really are the answer to something being not crappy 01:17:23.040 --> 01:17:29.760 um Like truly though not just like in a in a gatekeepery get good scrub kind of like awful sort of way 01:17:30.320 --> 01:17:33.760 But they really can be the answer in a lot of ways. Anyway, sorry carry on 01:17:35.120 --> 01:17:39.520 Otherwise we get some interesting explanations of how and why apple does things uh too long didn't 01:17:40.960 --> 01:17:44.560 write uh W watch 01:17:48.000 --> 01:17:54.080 Some things are inconsistent and that's bad apple should take me up on my offer to consult for a week for free apple and the 01:17:54.800 --> 01:18:00.320 Community should be more open about outside input if they want to improve the os and ecosystem 01:18:00.960 --> 01:18:05.840 Uh discussion questions. Did did things get better for you as you used macOS? 01:18:07.920 --> 01:18:14.160 Um also a note that part two of our switching to apple in 2025 should be out next month. Yeah, things did get better 01:18:14.560 --> 01:18:19.760 Absolutely. Um, I'd say the first like the first hour my 01:18:21.120 --> 01:18:23.520 In infuriated level was here 01:18:24.480 --> 01:18:28.320 By the third day It was here 01:18:28.320 --> 01:18:31.600 And then by like, you know the end of the month 01:18:32.160 --> 01:18:35.360 You know, it was like kind of down here. Did you have much of this? 01:18:36.320 --> 01:18:41.520 Like did I oh like did I kind of come up against challenges that sort of raised the fury for yeah? 01:18:41.680 --> 01:18:47.280 Yeah, definitely. So I remembered a couple things like not first day where you were like genuinely yelling in your office about it 01:18:47.280 --> 01:18:54.000 But I think you were also filming clips. So yeah But like the thing is and and I feel like oh, I don't know man. I 01:18:54.720 --> 01:18:59.040 I've been doing this so long That I've kind of had a take on anything 01:18:59.520 --> 01:19:05.520 That will annoy someone about something. Oh, and I think that's I think it's really challenging because um 01:19:06.800 --> 01:19:13.360 I I think I end up kind of getting misunderstood a lot 01:19:14.080 --> 01:19:16.480 Because when I criticize macOS 01:19:17.200 --> 01:19:22.400 I am not Saying that if you like hot dogs, you're basically a big idiot 01:19:22.960 --> 01:19:26.240 If a million people hear you say anything, it's going to be misunderstood by some amount of them 01:19:26.400 --> 01:19:29.600 I'm just saying that this is something that hamburgers do better 01:19:30.480 --> 01:19:33.200 That's what I'm saying and I'm not saying the other thing 01:19:33.680 --> 01:19:39.360 I'm only saying the thing that I'm saying And so I I feel like and and it's it's really interesting 01:19:39.680 --> 01:19:46.080 And you can see these kind of these silos of viewership that exist where the people who watch only our iOS stuff or only our 01:19:46.480 --> 01:19:53.280 You know Apple stuff will have a certain perception of me and the people who watch only our Linux stuff will have a certain perception of me 01:19:53.760 --> 01:19:59.280 And people who watch only our Windows stuff will have a certain perception of me like these flyby viewers that only watch occasional content 01:19:59.280 --> 01:20:07.600 When it kind of peaks their interest huge percentage, right? So so so anyone who who's listening to me kind of rant about macOS because they only tune in 01:20:07.760 --> 01:20:11.680 Whenever i'm going to talk about macOS is going to have this perception that I like hate macOS 01:20:12.080 --> 01:20:14.560 But the reality of it is I have entire 01:20:15.120 --> 01:20:19.280 videos griping about how things are in Windows 01:20:19.280 --> 01:20:22.720 and like there's a lot of gripes an unintuitive 01:20:23.280 --> 01:20:27.360 design or Inconsistent design is the word that i'm using 01:20:27.840 --> 01:20:32.720 Synonymously with unintuitive here because something that is inconsistent is inherently 01:20:33.440 --> 01:20:42.240 unintuitive Inconsistent design is something that exists across all of these platforms and that we as users should demand be reduced 01:20:42.800 --> 01:20:46.160 um And so where I get where I think I end up getting sort of 01:20:46.860 --> 01:20:51.520 adversarial with the community sometimes is when people take the position that 01:20:52.080 --> 01:20:55.920 It's perfect the way it is and anyone who doesn't agree is just a hater 01:20:56.400 --> 01:20:59.280 And so that's where and I tend to find those people 01:20:59.840 --> 01:21:03.520 In the apple and Linux communities more than I do in Windows because 01:21:04.080 --> 01:21:08.320 The Windows community is almost in a way more like humble if that makes sense 01:21:08.880 --> 01:21:12.240 We all know Windows south hatred going on. We all kind of hate it 01:21:12.480 --> 01:21:16.960 But we accept it because all the applications we want all the games we want to play 01:21:17.840 --> 01:21:21.600 They just run it So whatever it is what it is and there's pockets 01:21:22.080 --> 01:21:26.480 Of the apple community in particular that are like that. They just accept it because it's like well 01:21:27.920 --> 01:21:33.200 I need final cut and it's interesting I kind of acknowledge that this is a very imperfect system for it 01:21:33.360 --> 01:21:38.480 But I need final cut so I guess it just is the way it is if you had no idea what an operating system even was 01:21:38.960 --> 01:21:42.480 Sure, and you had generalized sentiment from each community 01:21:42.800 --> 01:21:46.480 I think you would think that Windows was the least popular operating system 01:21:46.880 --> 01:21:49.600 Yeah, I think you could easily come away with that conclusion 01:21:50.320 --> 01:21:54.800 um I think you would think like apple is for everyone 01:21:55.440 --> 01:21:59.600 Linux stuff is for nerds and techies and nobody uses Windows 01:22:00.480 --> 01:22:05.600 Yeah I I don't even I don't even think that's like, uh, I don't even think that's like a crazy take 01:22:05.680 --> 01:22:11.920 I yeah, I think that's probably what you'd come away with but the reality that is that Windows has the lion's lion's share of the market 01:22:12.560 --> 01:22:19.920 um So I don't know man. I I forget where I was even going with this, right? So yeah, yeah my my 01:22:20.800 --> 01:22:24.960 My anger level absolutely went down over time 01:22:26.640 --> 01:22:32.880 But there were definitely things that are just wrong that are just incorrect in apple's implementation 01:22:33.520 --> 01:22:38.320 And that should be fixed and I think that as users we should demand better 01:22:38.880 --> 01:22:45.280 And the whole the whole pushback that I get sometimes that's just like well, you just criticize everything 01:22:45.360 --> 01:22:50.240 Why don't you just enjoy it? It's like well like that but 01:22:50.880 --> 01:22:56.560 But But it could be better like if it if it wasn't like this it would be better 01:22:56.640 --> 01:23:02.160 That would be good. Is that is that not something we should strive for so then why even why even listen to me at all? 01:23:03.040 --> 01:23:06.480 That's like my whole job. It's like here's something that's good about it. That's fair 01:23:06.560 --> 01:23:10.240 Here's something that's not good about it because like across the course of a video 01:23:11.120 --> 01:23:14.960 Uh, I'm sure you praised macOS in that video at some point 01:23:15.760 --> 01:23:21.120 On the wancho. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I did because that that's I think what we're talking about. Oh, not the video 01:23:21.840 --> 01:23:25.200 Uh Yeah, wancho 01:23:25.360 --> 01:23:31.600 It was the segment of on the february 28th wancho. Okay. Sure. But like part one of switching to apple in 2025 came out 01:23:32.480 --> 01:23:36.320 Uh, yeah, but he wasn't really responding to that. Okay. Yeah, it was the wancho segment 01:23:36.800 --> 01:23:41.040 Um, I don't know how much we were still on the original topic to be clear. Yeah, I don't know 01:23:41.760 --> 01:23:45.440 Anyway, but either way, I don't think it's fair to just say that you complain about everything 01:23:45.600 --> 01:23:50.480 Well, no, I of course not but that's the thing is when people have an emotional connection to it 01:23:50.480 --> 01:23:56.000 That's what they hear slap a label on. Yeah, that's what they hear. Yeah, and and so it's just like it's one of those things 01:23:56.080 --> 01:24:00.960 Where I feel like this is part of why As uh as a media personality 01:24:01.120 --> 01:24:04.320 It's really hard to survive over a very extended period of time 01:24:04.720 --> 01:24:10.800 If you have anything more nuanced than a yes this no that take because it's really hard 01:24:11.040 --> 01:24:14.320 For people to be aligned with everything is shades of gray 01:24:15.040 --> 01:24:19.360 When they get yeah when when these when these issues are so emotional for people 01:24:19.760 --> 01:24:26.720 And I under I've I've kind of come around over the years to why these issues are so 01:24:27.360 --> 01:24:31.200 Emotional to people and it's because we invest in them. We are literally 01:24:32.080 --> 01:24:36.160 invested In them we put we put our money down and we go 01:24:37.280 --> 01:24:44.000 I am team pixel You know we we put we put our money in that was like mean and our money 01:24:44.160 --> 01:24:49.280 Oh, I've got a dbrand case on it. Doesn't matter poor phone. Yeah, whatever. It doesn't feel anything. Um 01:24:50.960 --> 01:24:56.160 And to be clear I am not team pixel. I actually had a really funny interaction. Yeah, why are you using a pixel? 01:24:56.160 --> 01:25:00.800 What's going on David today? Well because I was using that nothing phone the 3a pro 01:25:01.200 --> 01:25:06.000 And I was just having like a bunch of just weird annoying bugs with it like when I'd get out of my car 01:25:06.480 --> 01:25:11.280 It would it would keep playing on my like my music from my car would like play on my phone for a little bit 01:25:11.360 --> 01:25:17.440 And then it would like nod and then So I was just like ah man, and there's a ah there was something else 01:25:17.520 --> 01:25:23.200 Oh, yeah, it was really hard to get it out of my pocket Which was kind of annoying because I had like giant camera bump on it 01:25:23.200 --> 01:25:28.480 There were there were a handful of things and so I was like, okay screw it, you know, it's a couple hundred dollars more 01:25:28.480 --> 01:25:32.400 I'm gonna get the pixel 9a. I love I went the complete opposite direction 01:25:32.560 --> 01:25:35.440 It has like almost no camera bump, which is really rare these days 01:25:36.000 --> 01:25:39.600 And dude, I've had so many annoying issues with this thing 01:25:39.840 --> 01:25:44.240 And I was I was actually standing talking to David in uh in the writing room today 01:25:44.640 --> 01:25:48.640 Just about something unrelated. I got on the topic somehow of how like everyone's like, yeah, just 01:25:49.280 --> 01:25:52.640 You haven't experienced Android until you've experienced the pixel. Just get a pixel. You'll love it 01:25:52.960 --> 01:26:00.640 And I was like, I've had a really hard time with the pixel I pull it out of my pocket and one of the issues that I've had with it, which is that the um the ambient light sensor 01:26:01.040 --> 01:26:06.800 Just sucks on this thing happened I was like look how dim this is and then I was trying to pull down 01:26:06.880 --> 01:26:11.520 You know how you have to pull down your shade like a second time to get your brightness and stuff because 01:26:11.920 --> 01:26:15.600 They did away with swipe and look or just bring it all the way down 01:26:15.680 --> 01:26:19.600 It brings down the whole thing like it freaking used to which was way better 01:26:19.920 --> 01:26:27.520 Anyway, so I went I tried to swipe it down the second time I tried like six times and it wouldn't do it and no no my oh dude that drives me crazy 01:26:28.160 --> 01:26:31.600 Anytime i'm on speakerphone with this thing. I try to interact with the phone. It's like 01:26:32.320 --> 01:26:35.680 Screen goes away. I try denied because I'm a multitasker, right? 01:26:35.680 --> 01:26:39.440 So I'll go to pull down my notification shade while I'm on a call. It's such a pixel problem 01:26:39.440 --> 01:26:44.400 And it'll be like, oh, do you want the screen to turn off? No, I don't I just want to interact with my phone 01:26:44.640 --> 01:26:48.720 So I have to like I have to like ninja in there from an angle where it can't see me coming 01:26:49.200 --> 01:26:54.480 Um, oh, I literally cannot classic pixel. I cannot access my Plex server from this phone 01:26:54.720 --> 01:26:57.280 Oh, um, I don't know if that's because of Plex's 01:26:58.000 --> 01:27:03.360 Dog s**t new app, uh, which is also super slow on my iOS 01:27:03.520 --> 01:27:08.240 So I I literally use my iphone That that's that I was using for the challenge 01:27:08.240 --> 01:27:12.080 I am still using it every day for my earphones when I go to sleep 01:27:12.480 --> 01:27:17.360 Because I can't access my Plex server from this phone for whatever reason that's weird again. That could be Plex 01:27:17.920 --> 01:27:24.080 Uh, man, what are the other issues I'm having with? I'm expecting that's Plex, but I don't know. Uh, it's it's probably Plex 01:27:24.160 --> 01:27:28.320 Oh, dude my keyboard Constantly doesn't come up 01:27:28.640 --> 01:27:33.760 like Constantly doesn't come up and I use I use swift key 01:27:34.000 --> 01:27:39.600 So my my voice input button will just like randomly not work in especially in certain apps 01:27:39.920 --> 01:27:46.720 Like I can almost never use a voice to type with you in discord. Oh, it's working right now. Look at that. Okay. Well, whatever 01:27:47.040 --> 01:27:51.600 It often doesn't work. That's weird. I'll go voice to type and then it'll just be blank down here 01:27:52.400 --> 01:27:58.960 That could be a swift key issue. That could be an Android issue either way It's not an issue that I had with my samsung phone before and it's not an issue that I had on that 01:27:59.680 --> 01:28:08.480 Nothing phone that I was using slightly before this so I um and I it still drives me absolutely crazy that I can't swap the navigation buttons 01:28:08.640 --> 01:28:17.440 I have reached out to the pixel team and um, I don't I don't want to I don't want to update you guys until I have a final final answer 01:28:17.520 --> 01:28:21.840 But what I will say is I'm extremely f***ing unsatisfied with their response so far 01:28:22.720 --> 01:28:30.160 um I've got a jump in here. I've got an update from arty. Oh, yeah, he spoke to the mythical powers behind pricing 01:28:30.800 --> 01:28:34.160 And um, excellent. I am actually very interested to hear this 01:28:34.480 --> 01:28:42.480 Maybe I'll give you the the real technical explanation It appears the global pricing on the mystery screwdriver was incorrectly priced at 49.99 01:28:42.800 --> 01:28:47.520 The conversion was not applied correctly and this has unfortunately been fixed 01:28:47.840 --> 01:28:53.200 So if you got one for 50 bucks, good on you. Otherwise, it's now 69.99 01:28:53.600 --> 01:28:56.080 Okay, that makes more sense. Sorry 01:28:57.040 --> 01:29:00.160 I think Linus is happy if you guys were ever wondering 01:29:00.560 --> 01:29:08.080 um Oh, no What it looks like when I am legitimately perturbed about a price on the site versus when I'm 01:29:08.800 --> 01:29:14.720 You know, we're doing an aggressive sale being an actor and I am I am a little bit stressed out 01:29:14.800 --> 01:29:23.120 But I'm hamming it up a little bit That was the difference serious Linus is a very terrifying person. Oh come on 01:29:23.760 --> 01:29:30.800 but it's also uh Extremely useful. You can't use you don't terrifying like that and then not explain. Okay 01:29:31.760 --> 01:29:36.000 Okay. Yeah, that's fine. Sometimes it's very difficult to you will explain now that he is terrified 01:29:36.720 --> 01:29:45.520 I'm sorry Yeah, you know, he riffs. He riffs. He gets angry. He gets mean and it's not real and then you know 01:29:46.160 --> 01:29:49.040 Hey, I need you to do this thing and I'm being extremely direct 01:29:50.240 --> 01:29:57.600 What? Please do the please do the thing. Do I get me? Do I what? No, no, no. It's not mean. When have I ever done that? It's just 01:29:59.440 --> 01:30:03.520 Direct what's going on? Okay, okay. No, no, no. I want I want to 01:30:04.480 --> 01:30:07.120 Okay, okay. Now now hold on a second 01:30:07.680 --> 01:30:12.640 I think I know what we're talking about. Are we talking about the time that I explicitly said not to do a thing? 01:30:12.960 --> 01:30:20.480 No, no, no, that's very different Okay, no, this isn't necessarily anything that you've done to me. This is like well well documented. It is 01:30:21.280 --> 01:30:24.320 Yeah, like what no, no, I I would I would like to know 01:30:24.960 --> 01:30:30.080 Oh, maybe maybe you haven't seen the videos because it's like a behind the teams thing. Oh 01:30:31.040 --> 01:30:33.520 Is this the what do you think about your boss stuff might be? 01:30:34.560 --> 01:30:39.680 But I've seen he's never gonna watch those. No, I said I wouldn't yeah, I don't know it's stuff like that 01:30:39.920 --> 01:30:48.720 It's completely fine But yeah, it's mean not mean who have I well you said mean you know no no no mean it mean is the the the playful version 01:30:50.480 --> 01:30:58.320 Oh That was super unclear. Oh, I'm so sorry. Wow. No Linus is never ever mean like ever now 01:30:58.320 --> 01:31:00.320 They're not gonna believe you. No, it's too far 01:31:03.520 --> 01:31:09.520 Oh, I think you just misheard mean no, I really don't think I did chat 01:31:10.240 --> 01:31:13.360 Uh, can can you help me out here chat because oh no 01:31:15.120 --> 01:31:18.400 Oh Boy 01:31:18.400 --> 01:31:24.800 They say they understood it for the most part. Okay. Yeah, so, uh, are they just covering for you? I don't think so 01:31:25.120 --> 01:31:32.720 Okay, I hope that uh Okay, Dan started by saying Linus is mean when he's playing it up as a joke. Okay. Yeah 01:31:33.520 --> 01:31:36.000 I thought you meant it's mean when I like 01:31:36.560 --> 01:31:40.400 Act like things are a joke. I did too. I don't know. No, okay 01:31:40.640 --> 01:31:44.400 See the vast majority of chat I've been defending you the whole time 01:31:45.360 --> 01:31:49.040 The whole time Okay, jeez 01:31:49.040 --> 01:31:55.680 Anyway, so yeah, that's that's what I look like. I'm not talking again. That's what no no no. No, we like because he was too mean 01:31:57.920 --> 01:32:02.640 Was he was he too mean? No Shut up 01:32:03.040 --> 01:32:06.640 There there was a time when I was very direct with Dan 01:32:07.440 --> 01:32:10.800 Yeah, and and that's it. It's very very useful 01:32:11.360 --> 01:32:14.560 Okay Useful the word 01:32:14.640 --> 01:32:18.480 I think it's important. Um, yeah, okay. All right 01:32:19.760 --> 01:32:24.160 But I I would I look I would like to think that I'm not mean 01:32:24.480 --> 01:32:30.320 But what I discovered what I discovered this week is uh horoscopes for mba's thing recently 01:32:30.480 --> 01:32:35.040 So he got his color blocks. Oh, did he so that I think that's probably part of what he's like 01:32:35.200 --> 01:32:37.200 No, no, this communication is good because 01:32:38.640 --> 01:32:44.480 Is that is that not it? No, no Because we were literally talking about before the show how you like shorter and more direct 01:32:44.960 --> 01:32:51.600 Communication. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I just think it's it's interesting that you pointed out that that was an example of like 01:32:52.000 --> 01:32:57.280 Actually, no, you need to go and make sure that this is accurate. I'm not just oh my god 01:32:57.360 --> 01:33:02.480 It's so it you sold it for too cheap already. What are you doing? You're bad at your job. Get out of my sight 01:33:02.640 --> 01:33:05.120 It was like no, can you go and please check this? 01:33:06.160 --> 01:33:14.960 I say did Okay, it's different shoot my 80d brain did a thing there and uh, this show is awful. I I'm sorry 01:33:16.160 --> 01:33:21.520 Now you're following my show awful. Thank you very much, Dan. You're the producer of it. So no, it's my fault 01:33:22.400 --> 01:33:29.760 Okay, shoot. I was gonna shoot. I was gonna say something there for a second. Then I completely lost it. All right. Well, good luck everybody 01:33:30.240 --> 01:33:36.160 Uh, yes, Luke's phone just just rang. He's got places to be and chicken to cook 01:33:36.800 --> 01:33:46.400 um So anyway, yes, that was that that was a that was a situation where um, I actually did was not consulted on the pricing 01:33:46.400 --> 01:33:55.360 And it really did seem very wrong Um, oh right. I remember so I'd like to think that I'm not mean or at least that's what I used to think 01:33:55.520 --> 01:33:58.960 But I actually filmed the Floatplane exclusive earlier this week 01:33:59.520 --> 01:34:04.400 where Uh sammy had me reacting to 01:34:04.880 --> 01:34:09.040 Employees here talking about their first interaction with me 01:34:11.920 --> 01:34:21.280 So here's the So here's the thing that was hilarious. He's definitely not mean. He's not me. He's never he's never been mean in a professional context 01:34:21.280 --> 01:34:26.640 So here's the Watch any of the wan shows that we have ever done in a very mean 01:34:28.160 --> 01:34:30.560 So here's the thing. Here's the thing luke 01:34:31.440 --> 01:34:36.720 Every one of those interactions at least the ones that I can remember or remember some version of 01:34:37.280 --> 01:34:42.560 There's a whole bunch of context In my brain that makes whatever I said 01:34:43.280 --> 01:34:46.800 a light-hearted joke or banter 01:34:47.600 --> 01:34:54.160 You're hearing them Recall what they were thinking on their side. I was like, oh 01:34:55.280 --> 01:34:57.280 I may need to alter my approach 01:34:59.040 --> 01:35:02.080 I think I think sometimes you don't fully grasp the 01:35:03.280 --> 01:35:06.400 When it's like a new person at the company and you are owner guy 01:35:07.040 --> 01:35:11.200 Can you imagine that no this is like a flatter structure and like they don't they don't know 01:35:11.600 --> 01:35:18.240 But the people who've been here forever taking full weight, which is the context that I have they don't give a fuck like they just 01:35:19.200 --> 01:35:21.840 Maybe you got to consider it's a new person. I look 01:35:22.480 --> 01:35:25.440 So so I don't know sedans was hilarious 01:35:26.000 --> 01:35:33.680 Emily sedan from editing sedans was hilarious because she she she goes on this whole long thing talking about how like 01:35:34.160 --> 01:35:37.520 it's her first day and it's like her trial day and like 01:35:38.160 --> 01:35:45.120 The ceo the company comes by and is like, who are you? It's kind of a big deal. I'm here for my trial day. Lu Lu Lu 01:35:45.840 --> 01:35:49.680 Um, and apparently I was like, oh good luck and then I left 01:35:51.840 --> 01:35:54.480 That seems fine. Yeah, but you know me 01:35:55.280 --> 01:35:57.760 She doesn't wait, but like what were you supposed to do? 01:35:58.720 --> 01:36:00.720 Maybe I'm not good. I 01:36:02.240 --> 01:36:06.560 The way she tells the story was very perspective broadening for me 01:36:07.280 --> 01:36:14.800 Just like I don't know it almost uh-oh It almost seems like uh, maybe I'm a horrible person. Maybe you are. What were you supposed to do? I don't know 01:36:16.000 --> 01:36:20.160 Not talk to her at all. Like that's the thing is like that's my natural thing to just be like, oh, who are you? 01:36:20.480 --> 01:36:25.120 Or you know, uh, ha man, you're on a trial. Okay. Good luck. And then you Andrew 01:36:25.360 --> 01:36:30.800 I apparently asked i'm in trouble on no less than three separate occasions if he was going to introduce himself 01:36:31.040 --> 01:36:38.720 Andrew Moore from the shooting department. He asked on I asked him on three separate occasions 01:36:38.880 --> 01:36:41.840 If he was going to introduce himself because I had forgotten him 01:36:42.960 --> 01:36:44.960 Oh 01:36:49.120 --> 01:36:54.640 That one's that one's a little rough and then and then vance our executive assistant 01:36:55.040 --> 01:37:00.480 Um, who was hired for to be a general executive assistant, but was like mostly assigned to me 01:37:00.960 --> 01:37:07.440 At the beginning, especially he does other stuff. Uh-huh. What are you talking about? Follows you around. Well, sometimes all the time 01:37:08.640 --> 01:37:11.920 Do you have his task list because I do it has lots of things that are not for me 01:37:12.080 --> 01:37:18.080 I wonder why only you have it. No, I'm not the only one who has it coltums is managed. Okay. You're actually being unhelpful right now 01:37:18.080 --> 01:37:23.840 He is not exclusively my ea. I know for a long time. It was kind of that way this now. It's not 01:37:23.920 --> 01:37:28.000 Yeah, anyway, so it's been kind of sometimes one sometimes the other anyway at the beginning 01:37:28.080 --> 01:37:35.760 He was mostly assigned to me And his first assignment basically was to just like kind of shadow me and you know, I don't know 01:37:35.840 --> 01:37:41.120 See if there's a way ways we can find more efficiencies or ways that he can like kind of help me optimize my time better 01:37:41.360 --> 01:37:44.560 whatever else and apparently 01:37:44.560 --> 01:37:50.000 After some amount of time of him kind of sitting in my office like, you know, I don't know helping take notes for calls 01:37:50.080 --> 01:37:53.280 I'm not a hundred percent sure what he was doing. It was like his first couple days or something 01:37:53.520 --> 01:37:59.360 Apparently I just kind of like turned to him after like some kind of 01:38:00.320 --> 01:38:05.360 period of awkward silence and I'm like So am I supposed to like talk to you or? 01:38:06.720 --> 01:38:11.200 Okay, so wait, wait, stop stop. So in my mind, so in my mind 01:38:12.160 --> 01:38:17.200 Maybe I'm doing fine. I've never had an ea before I was concerned. Maybe yeah in my mind 01:38:17.600 --> 01:38:20.880 I've never had an ea before I don't know how this works 01:38:21.280 --> 01:38:27.840 I literally don't a hundred percent know what your job is because I like didn't hire you and I didn't really define the role 01:38:28.480 --> 01:38:35.120 um, I I feel kind of awkward just like having a person in my office while I'm working am I supposed to like 01:38:35.840 --> 01:38:39.200 Bantor so I so I tried to turn it into like a lighthearted joke 01:38:40.960 --> 01:38:47.120 Didn't didn't land. Yep didn't land at all. Um, I mean clearly clearly he made 01:38:47.200 --> 01:38:51.440 It uh, he's still here. So, you know been a couple years now. I think um, so that's something 01:38:52.400 --> 01:38:58.560 And uh, yeah, so there's a there's a bunch more LMG.gd slash Floatplane. It's a banger of an exclusive 01:39:00.560 --> 01:39:08.480 So I may have to reevaluate a little bit I don't I don't think you will the reality of it is I am a very awkward person 01:39:09.600 --> 01:39:13.920 And a lot of people assume that youtubers tend to be extraverts 01:39:14.400 --> 01:39:19.840 But it is not I think most of them aren't necessarily the case. I have certainly met ones that are oh, yeah 01:39:20.160 --> 01:39:23.840 But what I have mostly met is introverts who 01:39:24.960 --> 01:39:28.320 who um 01:39:28.320 --> 01:39:30.560 I don't want to say fake it because 01:39:31.600 --> 01:39:35.680 Most youtubers that I've met are super real like they're real 01:39:36.160 --> 01:39:39.920 It's just that what they have learned to do is channel their 01:39:40.560 --> 01:39:46.160 introversion and awkwardness Into being very personable to a piece of glass 01:39:47.040 --> 01:39:51.760 um You you put them in front of a crowd though and it is it is the more oh dude 01:39:51.760 --> 01:39:58.560 It is the exception rather than the rule Yeah, that can like do crowd work and handle like public speaking and stuff like that 01:39:58.560 --> 01:40:01.280 Like those are those are generally like the superstars 01:40:01.840 --> 01:40:04.320 um, and even then even some of the superstars 01:40:05.120 --> 01:40:11.920 Are not comfortable with it. It's not it's not what they would prefer it just it happened by accident because they happened to be 01:40:12.480 --> 01:40:16.480 Really really good at appealing to a piece of glass while they're alone in a room 01:40:20.160 --> 01:40:23.840 Yeah, so I may just be an awkward 01:40:25.120 --> 01:40:30.400 Introvert guy Taryn asked me if I wanted to have lunch with a rep from a company at computex or a dinner or something 01:40:30.880 --> 01:40:34.640 and I literally I I've told him before 01:40:34.640 --> 01:40:38.640 That I this is literally why I hired you so that I don't have to talk to people 01:40:39.200 --> 01:40:45.600 At some point. Do you think it's funny? Do you like making awkward scenarios? 01:40:47.200 --> 01:40:52.480 um It's I mean I tell this to my kids all the time and it's it's really like 01:40:53.280 --> 01:40:56.480 It's something I generally generally genuinely believe 01:40:57.200 --> 01:41:04.080 A joke is funny as long as everyone's laughing and if the other person is like genuinely deeply uncomfortable then no 01:41:04.160 --> 01:41:07.840 It's not funny right, but but it is it is funny that 01:41:08.400 --> 01:41:11.920 I could go this long and not realize it. That's funny 01:41:12.480 --> 01:41:15.440 Like that's a funny thing. It's a funny observation 01:41:16.000 --> 01:41:22.080 Um, it's it's funny that someone can make a career out of I don't it's ironic 01:41:22.320 --> 01:41:27.760 That someone can make a career out of somehow having their personality be appealing to millions of people online 01:41:27.760 --> 01:41:33.200 I don't think this is fair I don't think this line of thinking is fair and yet be like this line of thinking is fair at all 01:41:33.600 --> 01:41:36.880 And yet be catastrophically awkward person opposite of this 01:41:37.600 --> 01:41:44.800 And it's not working You're not not charismatic. I think you like no, but it's comedic sense awkward scenarios 01:41:44.880 --> 01:41:52.400 And when other people like it as well, dude, you love it. Yes So you like going out of your way to create them because when the other person enjoys them you find it very fun 01:41:52.480 --> 01:41:56.960 I love not everyone receives that energy. I love the office the same way. I love faulty towers 01:41:57.920 --> 01:42:02.480 But I know I genuinely this doesn't mean that you are necessarily awkward 01:42:03.440 --> 01:42:09.120 You don't think so. No, it means that you like creating awkward scenarios because sometimes they're really funny 01:42:09.520 --> 01:42:13.360 That doesn't mean that you're oh, I see what you're saying. No. No. Yes a hundred percent. No. No. Yes. Yes 01:42:13.600 --> 01:42:15.760 Yes, you're saying that it's ironic that someone who 01:42:16.720 --> 01:42:21.760 Is awkward was success, but you're not but you haven't you haven't watched the video yet 01:42:22.400 --> 01:42:25.920 Like no, I'm I'm being I'm being real right now. Like it was creating these scenarios 01:42:25.920 --> 01:42:33.200 Yeah, but I didn't know that they took it that way Like I I genuinely there's no way you didn't know the advanced one. Have you watched it? 01:42:33.760 --> 01:42:38.720 Um, am I supposed to talk to you? There's no way you didn't know that the way I don't believe you 01:42:38.720 --> 01:42:47.280 I thought it was I thought it was funny Right because you like you find awkward situations funny. Well, yeah, but I I thought he'd be I thought he'd think it was funny too 01:42:47.360 --> 01:42:55.520 But that doesn't mean that you're awkward But that's the awkward means that you thought it would be funny the awkward part is that I thought he would think it's funny 01:42:55.840 --> 01:43:01.200 Right, but you interact with people constantly and the fact that some of them are awkward interactions does not mean that you're an awkward person 01:43:01.200 --> 01:43:06.800 People don't tell me this Because by the time people are able to have that conversation with me 01:43:06.960 --> 01:43:12.640 We've built a rapport and we're like, I guess they're over it or whatever like said and I are good 01:43:12.880 --> 01:43:16.080 Yeah, Vance and I are good. Yeah, so this only came up 01:43:16.720 --> 01:43:21.360 Because I'm watching this exclusive at a time when they're comfortable talking about it 01:43:21.760 --> 01:43:26.880 But they didn't bring it up to me at the time. I didn't know that it was actually uncomfortable for them 01:43:26.880 --> 01:43:32.160 How would they have done that? No one's going to do that. I know maybe you're not knowing that makes you awkward 01:43:32.160 --> 01:43:36.800 Yes, that's what I'm trying to say But you did know that you just said that I know 01:43:37.600 --> 01:43:41.280 That I know what? That they're never going to bring that up 01:43:41.440 --> 01:43:47.280 Well, yeah Yeah, but you're gonna do it anyways and not because you're awkward you're gonna do it anyways because you think it might be funny 01:43:47.520 --> 01:43:51.200 Well, I'll do it if I think it's if I think it they're also gonna think it's funny 01:43:51.200 --> 01:43:55.200 I just thought you're gonna think that they're gonna think it's funny every time because you don't know these people 01:43:55.200 --> 01:44:00.560 And you would prefer that they would think it's funny. It's not that you're awkward. I'm not gonna. Well, that's pretty awkward 01:44:03.600 --> 01:44:07.600 Hold on i'm trying to find a thing Oh, man, um 01:44:09.760 --> 01:44:14.400 This feels reminiscent of the cheese combo I mean I can 01:44:14.400 --> 01:44:18.800 I can imagine what I would feel like if I didn't get Linus's who the f is Dan Besser 01:44:19.200 --> 01:44:23.680 Well, yeah, but there was so much actual real context around that 01:44:24.320 --> 01:44:30.000 Right, it wasn't just I'm in a room with him or anything like that the series of events that would have led him to just 01:44:30.560 --> 01:44:38.080 Give me the master key with no context is hilarious, but I have context around that not everyone necessarily has all the 01:44:38.320 --> 01:44:44.240 That's what I was trying to say at the very beginning of this Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, not everybody has the context that I have in my brain 01:44:44.560 --> 01:44:49.840 When I make an offhand remark like who the f is Daniel Besser and so that was our first conversation 01:44:49.840 --> 01:44:56.320 So what I realized watching this is that yes, I intentionally create these awkward situations 01:44:56.800 --> 01:45:03.360 No, I did not consider the lack of context that made it genuinely uncomfortable in some cases. No, I didn't 01:45:03.920 --> 01:45:07.840 You're fishing in a in a lake with a lot of different types of fish. Oh, yeah 01:45:08.080 --> 01:45:11.040 And just because you catch the wrong one sometimes you're still gonna keep casting 01:45:11.840 --> 01:45:18.720 I will I will try hard or not to I mean I had um, I we didn't talk about this on I talked to you about this after the party 01:45:18.800 --> 01:45:27.600 But not on we haven't talked about it on the show So I was at a party recently where I ended up in a very socially awkward situation with um, someone who 01:45:28.080 --> 01:45:31.120 Is a big fan of a particular figure in the tech space 01:45:31.680 --> 01:45:35.600 Um, oh, yeah, I remember this that was that was me completely 01:45:35.680 --> 01:45:38.640 Misreading a situation ending up in a very awkward 01:45:39.200 --> 01:45:44.960 Encounter that like turned heated on me in a way that I didn't anticipate. I got very passionate and enthusiastic the way I'm 01:45:45.520 --> 01:45:50.960 Apped to what um and no, I will tell you that I ran into a situation 01:45:51.440 --> 01:45:56.480 Uh, it's either Yesterday. Oh no, I oh you were there for it 01:45:56.720 --> 01:46:00.560 I ran into a situation with a salesperson very recently 01:46:01.040 --> 01:46:05.040 With you where I was saying something critical about the thing that they were selling 01:46:05.760 --> 01:46:08.640 and They escalated extremely quickly 01:46:10.640 --> 01:46:15.680 Yeah, he doesn't talk about right now. I I was I believed you but it's taking me a second. That was wild 01:46:16.640 --> 01:46:21.440 If I hadn't if I hadn't had the recent experience that I had 01:46:21.920 --> 01:46:28.080 Arguing with someone whose convictions are clearly so strong about something that no amount of logic or reason 01:46:28.320 --> 01:46:34.800 Or anything is going to change anything about it. I may have continued engaging with that individual as much as it shouldn't have 01:46:34.880 --> 01:46:39.360 That played a non insignificant role in the final decision to not. Oh, that's interesting. Yeah 01:46:39.600 --> 01:46:44.560 Um, yeah, that was that was like super weirdly aggressive when nothing was personal 01:46:44.880 --> 01:46:52.160 And I was just talking about the product that was for sale See, but that's almost an argument against you being awkward. No, no, I what what I'm saying is I'm learning 01:46:52.880 --> 01:46:59.760 Yeah, but everybody I think honestly honestly if anything I think this revelation means that you're probably less 01:46:59.920 --> 01:47:05.360 Awkward than the vast majority of people and more charismatic because you're only starting to realize this now 01:47:06.000 --> 01:47:08.000 Corporate right there 01:47:13.200 --> 01:47:17.520 Because I think most people are more awkward way more often so they're aware of it 01:47:19.200 --> 01:47:28.480 Oh, man, I don't know dude I don't think you're saying that your your awkward is legitimate or would stand up. Well either way. I am definitely 01:47:29.440 --> 01:47:38.720 Everyone has awkward moments. I am learning There I will say that and ideally everyone is and that reaction video was eye opening for me 01:47:39.040 --> 01:47:46.160 I will try to be more cognizant of the sorts of jokes that I make with people I am meeting for the very first time 01:47:47.040 --> 01:47:51.920 That is what I learned I'd say lean into it 01:47:52.480 --> 01:47:58.160 Lean into it let this be a known thing you start here your boss is going to say something incredibly offensive 01:47:58.240 --> 01:48:01.280 See, but this I used to literally do it in interviews 01:48:02.400 --> 01:48:06.240 This is not the first time you've learned this or adjusted part of the company culture 01:48:06.640 --> 01:48:14.720 It's a form of hazing But we are not that company anymore and we can't be we're too big now. No, I know but that's this is what I mean 01:48:14.800 --> 01:48:19.040 It's just another step. Well. Yeah. Yeah, but everyone's learning all the time 01:48:19.200 --> 01:48:23.840 Right and it was awkward when I did it in interviews and it's awkward when I do it on the first day 01:48:24.320 --> 01:48:30.880 And some someday maybe years from now. I will figure out that it's awkward when I do it three months 01:48:31.280 --> 01:48:35.120 Linus, you're not awkward.

Um, he spent 01:51:23.440 --> 01:51:26.960 A not insignificant amount of his budget on model trains 01:51:27.600 --> 01:51:31.120 No, really though like a not insignificant amount of his budget 01:51:31.520 --> 01:51:35.200 Like like one little like mini thing is like 40 01:51:35.680 --> 01:51:41.360 A hundred dollars like he bought this pack of little people little tiny people that was over a hundred dollars 01:51:41.920 --> 01:51:45.920 Some of them I looked at the price. I was like, yo, this crazy. He's like that second hand. I'm like, what? 01:51:46.560 --> 01:51:51.040 No, dude model trains.

Anyway, um 01:51:56.960 --> 01:52:02.400 There's a let it says light discussion on how to choose between the 9950 x3d and the 999 800 x3d 01:52:02.480 --> 01:52:06.160 I mean, well, that's that's pretty self-explanatory if gaming is your only focus 01:52:07.040 --> 01:52:16.000 9800 x3d or if you want that It's it's small but that very small extra little edge the 9950 x3d does run a little bit faster 01:52:16.560 --> 01:52:23.440 But obviously costs quite a bit more So the main reason to step up to it is going to be if you really need the extra eight cores 01:52:24.160 --> 01:52:28.560 And oh, this is cool. Now's your chance to win the ultimate gaming upgrade 01:52:28.720 --> 01:52:32.480 Three lucky winners will take home some sweet prizes with the grand prize 01:52:32.720 --> 01:52:40.000 Including an AMD raisins have a 9800 x3d the goad of gaming a radion rx 90 70 x t and a steam deck 01:52:40.400 --> 01:52:44.880 OLED Two runners up will each receive a steam deck OLED. So enter the sweepstakes now 01:52:45.040 --> 01:52:50.800 We will have it linked in the video description alongside full Ts and Cs including regions where people are eligible 01:52:51.760 --> 01:52:58.720 Okay, luke get it over with so line or a j apparently pointed out that Linus asked him to introduce himself like four times 01:52:59.200 --> 01:53:04.880 And also at the first ltx Linus thought a j was a fan to be fair 01:53:05.360 --> 01:53:14.240 I think that was the first time you guys met each other So it kind of makes sense given the context of the situation because I don't think a j had one of the the shirts 01:53:14.880 --> 01:53:18.240 um And I will pair it with 01:53:18.960 --> 01:53:24.080 Uh, the awkwardness of me hiring a j to bring things off of Linus for a second 01:53:24.400 --> 01:53:29.440 Um, I think you probably remember this story, but a j was the first person that I hired like by myself 01:53:30.000 --> 01:53:36.880 Um, yeah, and I thought it was really weird that someone was like joining the company and had never talked to avan 01:53:37.600 --> 01:53:43.360 Um, which doesn't matter anymore and is like totally normal, but at that point in time was genuinely weird 01:53:43.360 --> 01:53:50.160 Yeah, she um She handled like onboarding and a lot of stuff like she was part of like every hiring before then I think to a certain degree 01:53:50.480 --> 01:53:55.120 Yeah, yeah, so I was like, yeah, she even helped me review resumes back when I hired you at nci 01:53:55.120 --> 01:54:00.560 Yeah, yeah, like she was she was and like now there's just there's no way right like we're such a huge company 01:54:00.720 --> 01:54:06.560 Not even just avan like most people aren't gonna know anything about it when you're brought on because we're so big 01:54:06.800 --> 01:54:12.000 But back then it was weird So I I just like I was on the phone with him talking about it 01:54:12.000 --> 01:54:15.760 And then I was just like, oh, yeah, you should like talk to avan and I just handed the phone to avan 01:54:17.360 --> 01:54:19.360 And they both just sat there and were like, uh 01:54:20.560 --> 01:54:24.720 And you know both their personalities would both do that and it's like didn't really say anything 01:54:25.040 --> 01:54:34.640 It was incredibly awkward And I just threw them both into this scenario with no prep no planning no instructions on like maybe what they should talk about or anything 01:54:36.160 --> 01:54:40.960 Eventually I just I don't remember what happened after that, but I think I eventually just took the phone back and was like, sorry 01:54:42.720 --> 01:54:47.520 So Yeah, my bad 01:54:49.920 --> 01:54:52.720 Yeah, you you actually can be quite awkward too sometimes 01:54:53.600 --> 01:54:59.280 It's in a different way though. He's like an aggressive kind of awkward and I'm like, uh, like an offensive kind of awkward 01:55:03.520 --> 01:55:07.120 Because like Okay, a big part of my sense of humor 01:55:07.680 --> 01:55:10.080 Is saying something that I think is so 01:55:10.880 --> 01:55:17.680 ridiculously stupid Or so ridiculously outlandish or offensive that nobody could possibly take it seriously 01:55:18.080 --> 01:55:24.800 And then where I run into trouble Is that a lot of people take it seriously either because they 01:55:25.920 --> 01:55:33.920 Have no idea anything about me. So And and they just know the position and they have people in their lives who are that stupid or that mean or whatever 01:55:34.240 --> 01:55:37.280 And so they just like assume that that's actually my real 01:55:38.480 --> 01:55:44.560 Thoughts or my real demeanor or or you've got people that just don't pick up social cues 01:55:45.120 --> 01:55:49.200 And even when I like laugh after are just like 01:55:49.200 --> 01:55:55.440 Oh, he's mean or they suddenly think that you are totally on their side and this is something that they are totally for 01:55:57.120 --> 01:56:01.520 Which one was that? Oh Oh, yeah, well 01:56:01.920 --> 01:56:09.200 Yeah, so anyway, and then it's like, uh-oh Yeah, so a lot of the time I accidentally say stuff that is like plausible to people 01:56:09.680 --> 01:56:15.920 Even though to me It's like ridiculous, right? Like you'll you'll I use verbal irony a lot 01:56:16.720 --> 01:56:21.840 You know where I'll instead of and it is not quite the same thing as sarcasm sarcasm is cutting 01:56:22.160 --> 01:56:25.920 Whereas verbal irony is just saying one thing and meaning the complete opposite 01:56:26.080 --> 01:56:31.440 So I will say something like we'll be talking about nestle and I'll say but obviously water isn't a fundamental 01:56:31.520 --> 01:56:34.960 Human right anyway. I mean what makes humans more entitled to it than fish? 01:56:35.040 --> 01:56:42.080 So Realistically if people are dying because they don't have access to nestle then they should prioritize their product watered nestle should prioritize their profits 01:56:42.080 --> 01:56:46.320 I suspect that the wanshow audience of any audience that you have will understand that more 01:56:46.800 --> 01:56:52.720 Probably more pretty often do that on because they see me free flow it more, but they also like miss it sometimes 01:56:52.960 --> 01:57:03.120 Yeah, absolutely. I'm just saying Clipping that section to repost on red curiosity says nestle. What's that pronunciation that pronunciation is nestle the pronunciation? 01:57:03.120 --> 01:57:07.680 Do you buddy think that accent a goo is? um 01:57:07.680 --> 01:57:12.800 That that it guys that is the that is the that's how you pronounce it. I'm I'm pretty a dude 01:57:13.520 --> 01:57:19.600 Man, if I'm wrong about this, I'm just I'm done with the show today. I think they're saying it's nestle 01:57:20.480 --> 01:57:22.880 Is that what they think it is? No, they think it's nestle 01:57:23.600 --> 01:57:29.760 That's how I mess Lee. Yeah. Is this like them saying niche instead of niche. Have you never heard nestle? 01:57:30.080 --> 01:57:34.480 Um nestle. Yeah, there's no way you've never heard that. It's always nestle 01:57:37.120 --> 01:57:44.400 Don't I don't talk to Americans Apparently I think most Canadians call it nestle as well. Maybe maybe I was just hearing 01:57:44.960 --> 01:57:51.600 Nestle when they said nestle probably I'm pretty sure like like my brain go speak in canadian say nestle. Yeah, I just 01:57:52.560 --> 01:57:58.320 Assumed apparently in the english-speaking world the ads do pronounce it nestle 01:57:59.120 --> 01:58:03.440 interesting Uh, however the actual spelling of it 01:58:04.480 --> 01:58:12.080 um This is this is a french accent which is present in the branding. Let's play it here. Hold on. No, no, no 01:58:12.080 --> 01:58:15.280 That's fine. Oh, no, are we going to be wrong for the first times in our lives? 01:58:16.640 --> 01:58:19.280 No could never happen. Yeah, so if you look 01:58:20.000 --> 01:58:23.760 This is an accent a goo and it means a 01:58:25.520 --> 01:58:30.240 Uh, like, okay. I was going to say terminé, but that's actually with two e's instead of an accent. I think 01:58:30.800 --> 01:58:36.160 Anyway, like so like a french word with an e at the end that has that accent or even if it's not at the end 01:58:36.240 --> 01:58:45.040 It sounds like a jay saying that he pronounced it that way Well, yeah, well because he's french and because it's a french word with a french accent on it, but um 01:58:45.360 --> 01:58:51.520 English doesn't have accent a goo. So we just say nestle apparently even though that would be pronounced nestle 01:58:52.080 --> 01:58:55.600 Um, which is an actual word. So why we pronounce it nestle? 01:58:55.840 --> 01:59:00.080 Maybe nestle did that on purpose so that we wouldn't think their name was nestle 01:59:00.560 --> 01:59:04.160 I'm not sure. I don't know the origin, but apparently 01:59:05.040 --> 01:59:12.160 Apparently they uh, they do use nestle in their marketing according to float plain chat people don't believe me 01:59:12.640 --> 01:59:16.320 They're like look it up on an actual product like like nestle quick 01:59:17.280 --> 01:59:19.280 It's there look 01:59:22.160 --> 01:59:28.320 Uh-huh, see accent they flatten it They flatten the accent because they are they also have it over the other letters 01:59:28.320 --> 01:59:33.840 I thought it was just a design thing. No, they sometimes don't have it over the other letters here. Hold on. Yeah here on this one 01:59:34.560 --> 01:59:37.120 Uh, oh, no, no that one is over the other letters. Yep. No, you're right 01:59:38.000 --> 01:59:44.400 Uh What about I don't think it always is though fred said on float plain. What about fiance? 01:59:44.960 --> 01:59:48.640 fiance uh, I think it does have an accent it does 01:59:49.280 --> 01:59:52.640 But but so many but so many english words have french origins 01:59:52.720 --> 01:59:59.760 And that's why we pronounce them the way that we do But unless you actually like took french in school or whatever you don't recognize 02:00:00.320 --> 02:00:04.560 those things that were either part of um part of the french and english languages 02:00:05.280 --> 02:00:12.560 Simultaneous development and sort of came from the latin origin versus things that were just kind of picked up from each other in our dialects. Um 02:00:13.280 --> 02:00:16.160 Yeah, there's there's there's a there's a there's a ton of words 02:00:16.560 --> 02:00:23.120 That are english words, but we kind of pronounce in a french way just because like originally they were french words or like whatever 02:00:23.120 --> 02:00:29.360 Also applies to multiple other languages 100 percent. I do know that in england back in the old days 02:00:29.440 --> 02:00:38.000 They used to say nestles um And even the commercials had that too. They also came up with the word soccer and then are now mad at other people for using it 02:00:38.080 --> 02:00:43.680 So I don't know but the big question is why are we giving any airtime to an evil company that steals people's drinking water? 02:00:43.760 --> 02:00:48.400 That's a good call. Yeah, we should just keep pronouncing their name wrong. Yeah, let's call them nestle from there 02:00:48.640 --> 02:00:52.480 Yeah, I'm going with no one will be able to find any information about them because they're gonna look up nestle 02:00:52.480 --> 02:00:55.440 They're gonna be like birds getting in a little nest 02:00:57.200 --> 02:01:02.400 Nestling in there. Yeah They won't even find chocolate drink 02:01:06.400 --> 02:01:10.880 Uh, what are we supposed to be talking about just more topics until you're done with the topics, uh 02:01:12.400 --> 02:01:14.400 VMware stuff 02:01:16.400 --> 02:01:21.040 Liquid cooler innovation Uh, sure 02:01:21.200 --> 02:01:26.400 Oh, yeah, we talked about did we even talk about the did we even read the notes on the gta 6 trailer? No 02:01:26.800 --> 02:01:30.160 Oh My god, I don't think literally at all 02:01:30.720 --> 02:01:35.600 May 2nd rocks are announced the release date for gta 6. No, no, that's fine. There's that we talked about it enough 02:01:35.680 --> 02:01:41.680 Don't care. Cool. Yeah, all right. Well, it's not that we don't care It's just that we like did kind of cover most of it not coming to pc for a while. It doesn't matter to me 02:01:41.840 --> 02:01:45.760 Cool. All right. I'm gonna collapse some of the ones we've done already. Do you want to do the ai roundup? 02:01:46.400 --> 02:01:49.520 Good lord is there for a lot this week. There's some spicy stuff 02:01:50.160 --> 02:01:54.880 There's no spicy stuff. No, I said there's some spicy stuff. Oh good because yeah 02:01:54.960 --> 02:01:58.800 Wow, I was not I was not on the same page. The first one is wild 02:01:58.880 --> 02:02:04.080 Yeah, hit me so the first mini topic is judge accepts ai testimony from dead man 02:02:04.400 --> 02:02:09.760 Christopher pelkey was killed in a road rage incident in 2021 where he was shot in the chest 02:02:10.160 --> 02:02:15.200 An ai avatar created by the victim's family who was seeking the maximum sentence 02:02:15.440 --> 02:02:22.320 Remember that for later was allowed to address the court and the ai's testimony included forgiving the accused 02:02:22.880 --> 02:02:24.880 And saying they might have been friends 02:02:26.480 --> 02:02:29.600 The hollander says nitpick since there are a lot of words in english from french 02:02:29.600 --> 02:02:33.760 But english is germanic and nordic in origin not latin the latin influences came later. Thank you 02:02:34.880 --> 02:02:41.120 Carry on. Okay, uh, the judge seemed to be moved by the testimony saying to the victim's family 02:02:41.440 --> 02:02:50.000 I heard the forgiveness And you allowed chris to speak from his heart as you saw it. I didn't hear him asking for the maximum sentence 02:02:52.480 --> 02:02:56.400 But then the judge handed down the maximum sentence anyway of 10 and a half years 02:02:58.640 --> 02:03:06.160 What did we just witness here there are so many layers of f***ed up to unpack what? 02:03:08.960 --> 02:03:13.520 So So the victims so the prosecution side 02:03:14.080 --> 02:03:20.640 The the relatives of the murdered guy make an ai based on presumably some kind of record 02:03:21.440 --> 02:03:25.600 His brain's broken some kind of records of the guy who was killed, right? 02:03:27.040 --> 02:03:30.880 The ai the judge allows the ai avatar 02:03:31.760 --> 02:03:39.520 to Um, did they question like a live llm that had an animated avatar or is this a video? I believe so 02:03:40.720 --> 02:03:45.120 That's my understanding correct me if i'm wrong. Please chat jump in there jump in there 02:03:45.520 --> 02:03:54.000 The judge allowed the ai avatar to be interviewed to to testify 02:03:55.120 --> 02:03:57.120 And then the the ai 02:03:58.240 --> 02:04:00.720 forgave the accused saying they might have been friends 02:04:02.800 --> 02:04:08.240 And then the judge said i didn't hear him asking for the maximum sentence 02:04:08.240 --> 02:04:13.440 But then handed down the maximum sentence anyway, which apparently the prosecution was seeking 02:04:13.680 --> 02:04:19.040 So this whole like ai testimony thing could have backfired on them super hard 02:04:25.280 --> 02:04:31.360 It's a statement written by the person's wife as the ai avatar is is that what it was 02:04:33.200 --> 02:04:42.640 Video for impact statement, okay hold on Stacey wales pelkey's sister and his brother-in-law 02:04:43.520 --> 02:04:48.560 Both work in the ai field when wales suggested bringing her late brother to life like that 02:04:48.800 --> 02:04:51.360 She said her husband was more than hesitant 02:04:52.080 --> 02:04:56.320 He recoiled wales told nbc news and he said stacey 02:04:56.400 --> 02:04:59.360 Do you know what you're asking me to do? This is my best friend 02:04:59.920 --> 02:05:07.520 And i said i know it's my brother And then he said if this isn't perfect if this doesn't go out and really embody the spirit of chris 02:05:07.760 --> 02:05:09.760 I'm not going to let this be shown 02:05:12.480 --> 02:05:17.280 Okay, so it's just an ai avatar reading the impact statement. Yeah 02:05:19.680 --> 02:05:23.520 What Whoa, okay. It's less stupid 02:05:24.480 --> 02:05:30.400 That's still i thought that was the only way it would ever happen. That's still okay. That's that's okay. We gotta 02:05:31.040 --> 02:05:37.040 Okay, I have who was was allowed to dress the court. Okay, it would have been nice to have that detail in here. Um 02:05:41.200 --> 02:05:43.200 I don't think that makes it less nuts 02:05:45.520 --> 02:05:53.360 The defendant's attorney called the presentation Inflammatory and said it created a strong issue for appeal. I actually like kind of agree 02:05:53.840 --> 02:05:58.880 Which is sort of unfortunate because obviously I would just you know, if they found the guy guilty 02:05:58.880 --> 02:06:02.960 I would just like to see justice served at this point rather than us dragging this out. Yeah 02:06:03.200 --> 02:06:07.920 Um, but I feel like you're setting precedence almost. Well, I mean this whole thing is precedent setting like 02:06:09.760 --> 02:06:14.800 So you reanimate it was post conviction but before sentencing but then hold on a second 02:06:14.880 --> 02:06:20.720 Why so if they see the victims family who was seeking the maximum sentence remember that for later 02:06:20.720 --> 02:06:24.000 It was allowed to arrest the court and then the judge was moved by it saying 02:06:24.560 --> 02:06:28.480 You allowed chris to speak from as hard as you saw it. I didn't hear him asking for the maximum sentence 02:06:28.960 --> 02:06:34.000 So did they just like and then gave the maximum sentence anyway? So they just wrote a victim statement that 02:06:34.560 --> 02:06:37.120 contradicted the sentence they were seeking and 02:06:37.680 --> 02:06:43.440 And the sentence that was given They're like they already found him guilty. I know I know but this is like sent sentencing, right? 02:06:43.440 --> 02:06:47.520 Like sentencing is part of just seeing justice served out as according to our current system 02:06:47.520 --> 02:06:49.520 Whether you agree with it or not 02:06:52.720 --> 02:07:00.800 I want to move on uh Meta's ai app lets you see what others are doing with generative ai the verge calls it a mash-up of pinterest and 02:07:00.880 --> 02:07:02.880 everything annoying about threats 02:07:04.560 --> 02:07:11.520 With a with a sprinkling of generative ai on top. That's a great comparison. Um, it's hard to explain. Look at these examples 02:07:12.080 --> 02:07:21.600 Mixing food in fashion Gary v. What so gary veiner check? Yeah tells a 98 year old that he still got time to make it on meta 02:07:24.720 --> 02:07:29.760 Uh, is that mixing food in fact? No, you that's the second. Sorry. I was more interested in this one 02:07:29.760 --> 02:07:33.360 I I saw I saw him that one's listed as Gary v yelling at an old man. Yeah 02:07:34.400 --> 02:07:37.120 Okay, I'm gonna go with can't escape the clown 02:07:38.160 --> 02:07:42.560 Imagine a room without a clown in it. You can make the room however you want in whatever style you want 02:07:42.560 --> 02:07:44.560 But do not put a clown in the room 02:07:46.000 --> 02:07:50.000 Um Wait, so what it like always puts a clown in the room 02:07:50.720 --> 02:07:56.240 There's always a clown in the room. Why is there luke? Why is there always a clown in the room? 02:07:56.240 --> 02:07:59.280 Whatever could have had a pre prompt or something. That's weird. I don't know. I don't know 02:08:00.080 --> 02:08:02.880 Uh, okay. So what's the point of this? 02:08:04.800 --> 02:08:08.960 I mean, I guess if our social media is just all going to be ai generated slop then it might as well 02:08:09.040 --> 02:08:11.040 We might as well just be forthcoming with that 02:08:12.480 --> 02:08:17.440 Yeah, apparently people are in are cheating in like counter strike now, but they're not even at their computer 02:08:17.680 --> 02:08:24.080 It's just ai is playing the whole game. So the ai is aim-bottling, but it's also just entirely a bot 02:08:24.560 --> 02:08:32.400 It's not even someone playing the game This is happening in lobbies to try to get like I I don't know. I'm assuming drops or whatever. I have no idea 02:08:32.960 --> 02:08:34.960 Cases, I don't know something 02:08:38.160 --> 02:08:42.160 And it's like it's fairly widespread in public matches apparently it is clear 02:08:42.560 --> 02:08:47.120 You know what I actually noticed the last few times that I was playing counter strike 02:08:47.440 --> 02:08:52.000 Like for videos That just dropping into a public match is flipping hard now 02:08:52.800 --> 02:08:55.840 Like I'm just getting I am getting like blown away 02:08:56.320 --> 02:09:01.440 From all over the map in a way that like I'm not gonna counter strike like I'm not good at counter strike 02:09:01.520 --> 02:09:06.880 But it seems like a new level part of that is I think a lot of people don't play multiplayer games for like fun anymore 02:09:07.360 --> 02:09:11.120 But I'm just I'm just going into like public lobbies though. It's a competitive career 02:09:11.600 --> 02:09:16.160 But like the amount of people that literally just sit in aim trainers trainers for hours 02:09:16.240 --> 02:09:20.960 Dude, but my mmr is trash. It was on like the LTT benchmark account. Like there's no way 02:09:21.360 --> 02:09:25.920 You know, maybe maybe john is just a killer at counter strike. I mean that's possible. You never know 02:09:26.320 --> 02:09:34.560 Um, could be just in there popping heads Oh, man, it's clear. We need to bring back land gaming like faster and harder than ever 02:09:35.200 --> 02:09:40.320 Like let's go whale land. Uh, wait, did I update people the city of Surrey seems very amenable? 02:09:40.400 --> 02:09:44.320 And they're like like super duper working on it. I know you told me but I don't know if it was on the show 02:09:44.400 --> 02:09:51.680 Yeah, I can't remember Uh, whatever we met the mayor. We had a really good chat about like let's let's go gaming esports badminton 02:09:52.080 --> 02:09:57.920 We're gonna make it happen. Yeah, it's gonna be awesome. Next one has ai broken university multiple stories of game traction this week 02:09:58.000 --> 02:10:02.000 Calling attention to the trend of students relying on ai to complete university coursework 02:10:02.320 --> 02:10:06.880 And the struggle of universities to adjust to the new reality headlines 02:10:06.880 --> 02:10:10.720 Uh, new york mag or ny mag, you know, whatever 02:10:11.200 --> 02:10:17.840 Everyone is cheating their way through college and new yorkers other headline was will the humanities survive artificial intelligence 02:10:18.400 --> 02:10:24.640 Quotes from students. This is a oddly written article. Um, quotes from students college is just how 02:10:25.280 --> 02:10:32.480 Well, I can use chat gpt at this point Another one is I spent so much time on tiktok hours and hours until my eyes start hurting 02:10:32.800 --> 02:10:36.720 Which makes it hard to plan and do my schoolwork. This is very honest 02:10:37.360 --> 02:10:41.520 With chat gpt. I can write an essay in two hours that normally takes 12 02:10:42.320 --> 02:10:49.200 Wow, dr. Mike Perkins a generative ai researcher told the guardian that ai detection software is unreliable 02:10:49.440 --> 02:10:56.720 Yeah, and they are very easily tricked. Yeah Has research has research found his research his research welcome 02:10:57.520 --> 02:11:01.600 That ai detectors could detect ai text with an accuracy of 39.5 02:11:02.480 --> 02:11:09.280 But with minor manipulations of the text and other simple evasion techniques accuracy dropped to just 22.1 02:11:09.360 --> 02:11:14.240 A tool that is 22 effective is not a tool. That's a novelty 02:11:14.560 --> 02:11:19.920 Can we stop live editing the doc by any chance? Um, it keeps bouncing around not me 02:11:20.000 --> 02:11:25.440 I literally just had to scroll to find where I was at. Um, oh my goodness. Is that you Dan? 02:11:26.320 --> 02:11:29.360 And researchers at the university of redding 02:11:29.440 --> 02:11:36.320 I believe conducted a blind test in 2024 submitting chat gpt written answers through the university's own exam system 02:11:36.560 --> 02:11:42.720 And 94 of the ai submissions went undetected and received higher scores than those submitted by the humans 02:11:43.360 --> 02:11:47.520 Oh, no, we're cooked. The discussion question on this is actually the main reason why I wanted to talk about it 02:11:47.520 --> 02:11:49.840 Are you going to insist your kids go to college? 02:11:51.440 --> 02:11:56.560 No The one thing that I want my kids to do is pursue 02:11:57.360 --> 02:12:04.640 entrepreneurship Because and I've had this conversation on when countless times so i'm not going to rehash the whole thing but basically 02:12:05.840 --> 02:12:08.800 There is an unlimited ceiling on, you know 02:12:09.360 --> 02:12:13.600 Pursuing something better and newer and different 02:12:14.320 --> 02:12:17.760 Whereas there is always going to be a finite ceiling on 02:12:18.560 --> 02:12:21.760 Doing the same task over and over and over and over and over again 02:12:21.840 --> 02:12:27.200 And I think part of that comes from being an entrepreneur and part of that comes from working in a creative industry 02:12:27.280 --> 02:12:34.960 Where even even our mick jobs for the most part are not mick jobs because there is there's no such thing as like 02:12:35.520 --> 02:12:44.320 Just you're you just move the thing you move the thing from point a to point b in accordance with the way that corporate prescribes 02:12:45.280 --> 02:12:52.240 There's room for user input on Literally i'm trying to think of a job here that this is not true for 02:12:52.880 --> 02:12:58.640 Like literally every position here requires you to engage your bloody brain 02:13:00.880 --> 02:13:07.600 And so I would I would like for my kids that they that they not get bored and this is actually something that I learned from taryn 02:13:07.600 --> 02:13:13.680 He basically goes look When you're not learning anything anymore, that's when it's time to leave 02:13:14.000 --> 02:13:22.160 Yeah, your current place of work You know for him obviously, you know other factors like location and pay these are all these are all considerations 02:13:22.560 --> 02:13:25.920 Obviously But the red line 02:13:26.080 --> 02:13:28.800 Is when I am not learning anything anymore 02:13:30.080 --> 02:13:34.480 It's time to go Um, and so I would I would like for wherever they land 02:13:34.560 --> 02:13:41.760 I would like for them to have that always learning always pursuing something higher mindset. That's I hope that's good 02:13:41.840 --> 02:13:47.120 I don't think because some people are going to take this all as advice And I think some of that is probably good to take as it as advice 02:13:47.520 --> 02:13:52.240 I don't think necessarily pushing every single kid with every single set of opportunities into 02:13:52.880 --> 02:13:59.360 Entrepreneurship is Okay, it's not what he said. It's not what he said. Yeah. No not necessarily my kids have my kids are privileged 02:13:59.360 --> 02:14:04.560 They have a safety net. We're not let's let's not it's a lot easier to experiment with entrepreneurship 02:14:04.880 --> 02:14:09.040 And I mean, let's not show you the best possible route. They should go. I do agree 02:14:09.120 --> 02:14:16.080 Yeah, I'm just saying some people are going to take this In a way that it wasn't which is it's not advice. It's the question was what he will do 02:14:16.560 --> 02:14:21.360 And and you know what like it it might not they might not even pursue that right like 02:14:22.320 --> 02:14:28.560 One of my kids wants to be a vet You can't just like be a vet by not going to university 02:14:29.200 --> 02:14:32.880 That's not how that works. You actually like need to go to veterinary yet 02:14:33.200 --> 02:14:36.800 You are going to medical school just for animals instead of for people 02:14:37.440 --> 02:14:43.200 um And so, you know, whatever whatever they want to do, you know, we want to be supportive, right? 02:14:44.800 --> 02:14:46.800 Maybe they'll do something with turquoise 02:14:53.040 --> 02:14:58.720 All right, uh next one new ai model. Let's robots clean up homes. It's never seen before 02:14:59.120 --> 02:15:04.240 Oh, the pi-05 is a vla vision language action model 02:15:04.640 --> 02:15:07.760 General enough to be useful in entirely new environments 02:15:08.000 --> 02:15:13.680 The model enables a cleaning robot to understand semantic context and to infer the structure of a task 02:15:14.000 --> 02:15:19.360 For example, when cleaning the kitchen knowing what items are appropriate to pick up and put away and where to put them 02:15:19.360 --> 02:15:28.320 So I guess I could look in a cupboard and see if the plates are there or whatever Um, it's also possible to coach the bot through multiple steps of a complex process with natural language 02:15:30.080 --> 02:15:33.280 This is the kind of stuff I think people want from ai 02:15:34.000 --> 02:15:42.080 in its defense ai recruiter glitching goes viral tick tock user it's keno 4 posted a recording of part of a job interview 02:15:42.400 --> 02:15:48.000 Her first meeting with a prospective employer in which the ai recruiter repeats vertical bar pilates 02:15:49.360 --> 02:15:51.360 More than a dozen times 02:15:53.680 --> 02:15:59.360 Stop looking over the words The ai was part of a platform called apropria or sorry 02:16:00.400 --> 02:16:07.520 apriora, whatever Which claims to help companies hire 87 faster and interview 93 cheaper 02:16:07.840 --> 02:16:14.560 Comments on the video were almost universally against the use of ai interviewers with one noting that if they're not taking the time to interview me 02:16:14.720 --> 02:16:19.040 I'm not taking the time to try to work there. This is a huge thing. I don't know how much you've heard about this 02:16:19.040 --> 02:16:21.600 I haven't heard anything a lot of places are using this stuff and people 02:16:22.640 --> 02:16:25.440 Okay, tell me this tell me this and i'm about to find something out 02:16:25.760 --> 02:16:29.920 So i'm i'm i'm f***ing around right now and I might be about to find out 02:16:30.880 --> 02:16:33.520 Do we use ai for our hiring? No 02:16:35.120 --> 02:16:39.280 You don't have to like give me the like corporate puffery version like do we no 02:16:40.320 --> 02:16:47.920 at all Not as far as I know Okay, and well you like have hired people in the last like weeks. So like if you don't know then I assume 02:16:48.560 --> 02:16:51.680 Okay, well, I maybe I think my no is a pretty good answer 02:16:51.840 --> 02:16:54.960 I'm not involved in all the hiring, but I've done hiring recently 02:16:55.040 --> 02:16:58.560 We have a person who's still under probation, so I'm not gonna name them 02:16:58.560 --> 02:17:03.760 But we have a person on the Labs team that is new so clearly within the last 90 days no part of that involved 02:17:03.840 --> 02:17:10.560 Okay, all right, and do we do we feel that that is the best path as of right now? 02:17:10.560 --> 02:17:15.120 I would say yeah, yeah, I don't know if I'll hold that line forever, but I mean I 02:17:17.040 --> 02:17:21.280 I think I mentioned last week that like almost every interaction I had with 02:17:22.240 --> 02:17:25.600 Like chat-based LLM recently had hallucinations in it 02:17:26.240 --> 02:17:34.800 Despite the fact that people are saying hallucinations are going down Um, I decided to try to push that even further and that record is still standing. I don't have an example for you 02:17:34.800 --> 02:17:42.880 Okay, I thought um But it's it's nearly constant the one that I started running into recently was that it it can't get dates right 02:17:43.920 --> 02:17:47.840 Really? I was trying to get it to deal with a uh a timetable 02:17:48.400 --> 02:17:53.600 Basically like not not a check-in check out thing But like what is the plan over the course of this week? 02:17:54.320 --> 02:17:57.680 And it kept saying like like let me look at the calendar. It would say like 02:17:59.040 --> 02:18:01.040 Saturday May 11th 02:18:02.560 --> 02:18:09.760 Wait No Yeah, right. Okay. It doesn't look immediately wrong though. Yeah, and this is my big problem with the whole 02:18:10.320 --> 02:18:17.760 uh People's perceptions on AI hallucinations is I think a lot of the times they're just looking at its surface level 02:18:18.000 --> 02:18:23.280 And a lot of the things that it's going to be wrong on require at least one step of looking into it 02:18:23.600 --> 02:18:29.280 And people don't understand the whole part where it like it's it's a really great kickoff tool for research 02:18:29.600 --> 02:18:38.880 It's a really great like Writer's block solver. Yeah, it's a really great like bouncing off. Yeah, I used it to help name the smash champs badminton center 02:18:38.960 --> 02:18:41.360 I sweet had it helped me come up with just like 02:18:42.240 --> 02:18:48.800 combinations of words But it still requires you and I think a lot of people are just trying to take its output and just crap it out 02:18:48.880 --> 02:18:54.720 And it's like man that is not You're not gonna have a good time like there's so many things that are just slightly wrong 02:18:54.880 --> 02:18:58.240 Like if you if you go with that like Saturday May 11th thing 02:18:59.120 --> 02:19:03.920 And then book something using the date of the 11th. You just horrifically screwed up right 02:19:04.960 --> 02:19:10.480 neat And in like such a basic way and when someone questions like how did you book this on the wrong day? 02:19:10.560 --> 02:19:13.200 Like it was obvious when it was supposed to be and you're like well 02:19:14.720 --> 02:19:16.720 That's not gonna stand up. It's on you 02:19:18.080 --> 02:19:24.240 I don't know. Anyways, unless everyone else involved in whatever that occasion was also relies on 02:19:24.960 --> 02:19:27.520 an LLM for daily tasks and they're like, oh, yeah, yeah 02:19:28.800 --> 02:19:34.640 It's possible. Yeah, but it's a lot of mistakes. Um, we'll see we'll see how things go 02:19:34.640 --> 02:19:41.760 But as of right now, no, this is cool having a perpetual license for software now means that you can get a cease and desist 02:19:44.320 --> 02:19:47.760 Excuse me I've talked about this in the past 02:19:47.760 --> 02:19:56.560 How team viewer kept soliciting me to buy a subscription when what I actually had was a perpetual license for team viewer 12, which 02:19:57.200 --> 02:20:02.640 By the way, I still own and no, I do not have a team viewer subscription 02:20:03.120 --> 02:20:09.360 Um, they have stopped by the way So you don't need to like hate team viewer anymore or less than you already do right now 02:20:09.760 --> 02:20:16.960 But I have talked in the past about This strategy that companies have where they will sell you a perpetual license to their product 02:20:17.360 --> 02:20:23.520 And then in order to get out of that they will introduce a new product that is that product, but 02:20:24.160 --> 02:20:26.960 Version number a plus a one 02:20:27.680 --> 02:20:30.800 And then they will force you to buy a subscription for it 02:20:32.080 --> 02:20:39.680 Um, I politely told team viewer to F*** right off with that and stop trying to sell me your subscription because I bought a perpetual license and I'm gonna keep using it 02:20:40.240 --> 02:20:43.120 Um, but it looks like that strategy 02:20:43.840 --> 02:20:52.080 Might not have worked here Over the last several weeks vmware users have been receiving cease and desist letters from 02:20:52.640 --> 02:20:56.720 Broadcom who purchased vmware back in november of 2023 02:20:57.600 --> 02:21:00.880 after the acquisition vmware ended 02:21:00.880 --> 02:21:03.440 Sale of the perpetual licenses including 02:21:03.920 --> 02:21:07.200 Ending support for those users. This was done 02:21:08.240 --> 02:21:11.760 Drumroll, please to push their subscription model, which 02:21:12.480 --> 02:21:17.120 Also increased by 300 percent or more after the acquisition 02:21:17.920 --> 02:21:22.400 This cease and desist letter states that any implementation of updates 02:21:23.040 --> 02:21:26.400 past the expiration date must be immediately 02:21:26.960 --> 02:21:36.320 Removed slash Deinstalled adding any such use of support past the expiration date constitutes a material breach of the agreement with vmware 02:21:36.640 --> 02:21:44.160 And an infringement of vmware's intellectual property rights potentially resulting in claims for enhanced damages and attorneys fees 02:21:44.960 --> 02:21:51.200 This left some users confused since they technically haven't received any updates or security patches since the support ended 02:21:51.680 --> 02:21:59.840 anyway So I guess um a f*** you a broadcom like oh, yeah continued. Yeah 02:22:01.440 --> 02:22:04.640 It's funny because like wasn't vmware already like kind of hated 02:22:09.680 --> 02:22:16.080 I don't think they were particularly well liked Maybe not, but I don't I don't think I would go as far as to say they were hated. I don't know 02:22:16.080 --> 02:22:19.120 I think it was one of those things were like, uh, okay chats, uh 02:22:19.680 --> 02:22:25.680 Hold on chat. Let us know because I don't know. I I thought that was a I thought that was a thing 02:22:27.920 --> 02:22:34.240 Uh, people say a bit. I think it was a bit like people didn't like it But I think people didn't like it in the way that like I don't think people didn't like it as a tool 02:22:34.320 --> 02:22:37.120 I think people love it as a tool, but didn't like the uh 02:22:39.120 --> 02:22:42.960 And the fact that that is so much more now, uh, okay. Yeah 02:22:43.920 --> 02:22:47.120 On a catch says vmware has been up to some shenanigans for a while 02:22:47.200 --> 02:22:50.960 That's the the acquisition was a while ago. So I don't know if they 02:22:52.000 --> 02:22:55.520 I don't know Uh, okay 02:22:57.200 --> 02:23:00.160 Yeah, okay, it seems like either yes or meh 02:23:00.720 --> 02:23:03.760 Um, someone says they're not bad not that bad till they got acquired. Okay 02:23:04.400 --> 02:23:10.000 Uh, either way. Yeah, that sounds terrible and this like man, how this can't be legal 02:23:10.640 --> 02:23:17.920 You know perpetual license That perpetual has a meaning and I get your t's and c's or whatever. You can change your thing or 02:23:20.720 --> 02:23:23.280 Liquid cooler innovation is about to skyrocket 02:23:24.000 --> 02:23:31.200 famed cooling innovator and also patent troll ace attack has had a stranglehold on the aio water cooler market for years 02:23:31.840 --> 02:23:39.920 20 years ago They patented integrating the pump into the CPU cold plate in an aio cooler aka the design that basically everyone uses 02:23:40.640 --> 02:23:44.480 Since then they have become less of a cooling innovation company and more of a patent trolling company 02:23:44.800 --> 02:23:48.880 successfully taking cooler master Corsair and coolant systems to court and winning 02:23:49.440 --> 02:23:54.960 Last year when they were unable to get a patent extension their stock price dropped 40 percent in one day 02:23:55.600 --> 02:23:57.600 And if you have a look at their stock price over the last year, it's 02:23:58.720 --> 02:24:03.280 Rough things are looking so bad for ace attack. They might be getting acquired soon, which is an ouch 02:24:03.760 --> 02:24:12.480 This could potentially lead to a bunch of innovation in the cooling space Though or at least just price drops in the aio cooler market because any company can now make a CPU cooler with the pump 02:24:12.720 --> 02:24:18.720 And the cold plate integrated and do whatever they want with it. It'll probably just lead to cheaper coolers though, which is also 02:24:20.240 --> 02:24:27.360 cool Ah, what else we got this week? Uh, oh my goodness. There's so many. Okay eb games back from the dead 02:24:27.440 --> 02:24:30.720 I thought I said no for this topic. That may have been a misclick. Sorry 02:24:31.440 --> 02:24:37.120 Whoever prepped that I'm so sorry game stop Canada is becoming eb games again or something. Uh, oh 02:24:38.800 --> 02:24:42.880 Delete me a sponsor we've worked with in the past gets mildly controversied 02:24:43.440 --> 02:24:48.080 A privacy focused youtuber named reject convenience released a video titled 02:24:48.240 --> 02:24:53.600 What delete me and incognito aren't telling you and it just received some attention from the youtube slash tech community 02:24:53.760 --> 02:24:58.320 It's actually a great video y'all should go watch it the video dives into how your data is collected 02:24:59.040 --> 02:25:06.320 Who holds it and the difficulty involved in trying to remove that information and the limitations on services like delete me 02:25:06.320 --> 02:25:12.880 Ending Cogni reject convenience emphasizes the importance of understanding these technologies and their limitations and 02:25:13.360 --> 02:25:18.000 Criticizes the talking points that these services provide to creators considering them to be misleading 02:25:18.560 --> 02:25:22.880 Um and says that the services may not be a good value for most people 02:25:23.200 --> 02:25:28.960 The youtuber also reiterates that we really need more robust privacy laws that protect our personal information 02:25:29.120 --> 02:25:38.480 And we need them soon speak to your representatives Delete me and incognito have both provided positive responses to the video which reject convenience has posted on his blog 02:25:38.880 --> 02:25:42.720 Again, go watch the video. It's really well made. Also. Apparently we got a subtle shout out 02:25:43.280 --> 02:25:47.360 Using delete me has actually made noticeable improvements for me as a public-facing creator 02:25:47.360 --> 02:25:54.640 I've actually seen a reduction in spam calls since using the service And it does make it that much more difficult to find my personal information if anyone really put their mind to it 02:25:54.720 --> 02:26:00.560 I'm sure they could find more about me than I even want to think about But often just making something a little more difficult makes people less likely to do it says adam 02:26:00.960 --> 02:26:04.560 Oh, okay. That was from adam. I thought I was from the video. Yeah, I thought it was from the video as well 02:26:04.560 --> 02:26:06.480 I was like, I don't remember this. Uh, okay 02:26:08.640 --> 02:26:10.640 Oh, okay interesting 02:26:12.400 --> 02:26:19.680 I should Okay, yeah, we should come up with a way he did actually put a paragraph break there. So there yeah 02:26:20.080 --> 02:26:22.080 We should have realized that that was just adam's notes 02:26:23.520 --> 02:26:31.040 All right, um, oh our discussion question here is what steps is Linus media group taking to ensure that our sponsor talking points for delete me are 02:26:31.680 --> 02:26:39.040 Uh, fully representative of the product going forward We've already worked with them on revising the talking points and we're going to make sure that we get that sorted out for you guys 02:26:40.800 --> 02:26:43.440 All right, what else we got here we can leave out is dead 02:26:44.080 --> 02:26:51.440 Yeah, it died. Okay. It's died 22 years after the launch skype is dead. Cool. That was a short topic. We should upload that one as a clip 02:26:52.560 --> 02:27:03.600 Uh, we have some deeds about the rog ally two photos and specs of two pre-production models of the new rog and xbox co-branded ally twos have leaked from an indonesian 02:27:04.160 --> 02:27:12.960 certification office and fcc listing Looks like we're getting the same 120 hertz lcd screen a new shape reminiscent of the ps portal with full controller grips 02:27:13.440 --> 02:27:17.040 And a fairly significant bump in performance for the higher end model 02:27:17.680 --> 02:27:20.560 Specs we know with fairly high certainty 02:27:21.280 --> 02:27:28.160 So here's a little uh, here's a little table. Let's go. Here's the black version 35 watts. Oh 02:27:29.200 --> 02:27:33.120 Zen five zen five. Let's go radio on 890 m. Let's go 02:27:34.000 --> 02:27:40.160 Similar to an AMD hx 370 with four CPU's disabled pretty impressive benchmarks. You can find the benchmarks elsewhere 02:27:40.320 --> 02:27:46.240 We still don't know when they're coming for how much or how tightly integrated the xbox functionality will be 02:27:46.640 --> 02:27:49.440 All right, that's it for topics. It's time for after dark 02:27:50.400 --> 02:27:57.360 Yes More like after dork. I think we just I think we I think we surprised him with that one. It's going to take a second 02:27:58.080 --> 02:28:03.440 Now he's got it. I believe it. I'm just saying let's watch him. Look at that. It's already after dark. Boom. Got him. Yeah 02:28:03.600 --> 02:28:09.760 Boom got him How dare you I was in the middle of messaging chewy to turn that into a way 02:28:10.480 --> 02:28:13.760 LMG clip How dare you doubt this man 02:28:17.840 --> 02:28:21.520 For the WAN Show now you're just being patronizing has done so much for my reputation 02:28:22.160 --> 02:28:28.160 Just because you have social awkwardness issues. He made sure people would not think I mean does not mean that that interaction was bad 02:28:28.240 --> 02:28:31.440 Now he's just being mean. All right, take everything I say back. I hate it here 02:28:35.840 --> 02:28:40.160 Wow, that sniff was synchronized. Oh, sorry very cool 02:28:40.800 --> 02:28:44.720 I'm really not feeling a hundred percent. Oh, I should have given you a heads up today. I totally forgot 02:28:45.360 --> 02:28:48.480 Okay. Well, I'm not feeling a hundred percent. At least he's not leaving the country 02:28:49.920 --> 02:28:53.440 Yeah, right. It would be pretty funny if Luke got sick on a trip again 02:28:55.040 --> 02:29:02.080 Cool every time every time every time. Uh, okay. Well, um, congratulations on being sick 02:29:02.480 --> 02:29:06.720 Thanks now that's good or later. But like not very much later probably 02:29:07.600 --> 02:29:11.120 like Right when I get there 02:29:12.000 --> 02:29:18.880 Cool For what it's worth. Um, I think it's bacterial. So if I had antibiotics, I'd probably be better by now, but 02:29:19.360 --> 02:29:22.560 I didn't really bother didn't want to get those the same way as last time 02:29:23.120 --> 02:29:29.600 Um, oh, I haven't really I don't think I've acknowledged that publicly how I got those drugs. Have I no 02:29:32.640 --> 02:29:35.520 There's there's ways to get drugs that are not 02:29:36.240 --> 02:29:41.920 A doctor stealing there's all kinds of doctors. Yeah. Yeah, there's lots of different kinds of doctors 02:29:41.920 --> 02:29:43.920 You know, they got all kinds of doctors 02:29:45.360 --> 02:29:53.840 All right, what are we talking about? Loved the recent video on diy batteries of all the projects you and the team have worked on which one made you gain the most 02:29:54.000 --> 02:29:59.200 Quote on quote unexpectedly useful knowledge and skills stuff that you end up using a lot 02:30:00.000 --> 02:30:07.040 Oh Oh, man, there's so many videos now that I have a really really hard time 02:30:07.600 --> 02:30:11.840 like coming up with A video sometimes 02:30:12.320 --> 02:30:16.320 One where I gained skills Unexpectedly 02:30:16.320 --> 02:30:21.120 Oh boy unexpectedly useful not not that you gained the skill unexpectedly 02:30:21.200 --> 02:30:24.800 Yeah, but the skill ended up being useful in the rest of your life and you did not expect it 02:30:25.680 --> 02:30:27.760 Maybe that helps but I doubt it 02:30:28.720 --> 02:30:32.800 Yeah, uh Wow, I mean, yeah 02:30:33.760 --> 02:30:42.960 It's cool though I mean, here's one. Yeah, here's one. Okay. I'm I'm gonna get my license to drive the fire truck. Are you actually? Yeah 02:30:43.520 --> 02:30:50.480 It turns out it's it's not that bad. Um, you just you just have to get like the air brake certification 02:30:50.480 --> 02:30:54.880 You don't actually have to get like a class three Because it's it's only dual axle 02:30:55.760 --> 02:31:01.520 Yeah, so it's it's like really not that bad Apparently we thought it was going to be like a 20 hour course, but it's like a one day thing 02:31:01.600 --> 02:31:06.480 So I'm I think me and the alex's and anyone else who wants to do it are 02:31:07.120 --> 02:31:11.040 Going to like do it at the same time. So I haven't seen this. I haven't seen it on the schedule yet 02:31:11.120 --> 02:31:15.280 But we're going to do it pretty quick. Cool. So that's that's something I unexpectedly 02:31:15.920 --> 02:31:18.640 I'm going to learn but I didn't like learn it from that 02:31:19.680 --> 02:31:23.440 You know what? I'm standing by it All right, hit me 02:31:23.440 --> 02:31:32.960 Sure thing What has been the most unexpected piece of feedback or insight you've gained from your audience that influenced your approach to creating content? 02:31:33.360 --> 02:31:39.440 So many unexpected things. Yeah, I didn't realize they were all this today. Yeah, um, it's an unexpected 02:31:41.840 --> 02:31:48.640 I You're I I think something that changed our approach over the last 10 years or so 02:31:49.200 --> 02:31:58.400 Was realizing how important the role of this oasis where we can just talk about and think about tech was for people 02:31:59.040 --> 02:32:04.400 Um, I think that there have been times when we have delved into other issues that people 02:32:05.120 --> 02:32:10.720 Have just told us point blank not because they sit on one side of the issue or the other side of the issue 02:32:10.960 --> 02:32:18.240 Or whatever, but have just told us like hey You guys are my respite from thinking about everything that's going on in the world right now 02:32:18.320 --> 02:32:25.200 Whether it's then or now or whatever and can we just not and I I guess that one's top of mind for me because there's been 02:32:25.680 --> 02:32:31.600 a lot more of that feedback lately as we've engaged in conversation on the 02:32:32.240 --> 02:32:36.000 Changes from the recent us administration with respect to import tariffs 02:32:36.560 --> 02:32:40.960 um, and I think the thing that's really that's really tough 02:32:41.120 --> 02:32:46.880 Is when people say hey, can you not talk about politics? It's like well 02:32:48.800 --> 02:32:52.960 It's kind of hard to avoid sometimes, you know, it's like when we're talking about 02:32:53.600 --> 02:32:59.760 Net neutrality or right to repair or hey all your it's going to cost way more 02:33:00.480 --> 02:33:08.240 um, those are not In my mind sometimes political conversations. They're just some facts 02:33:08.720 --> 02:33:14.080 um, but Over time more and more things feel like they are becoming 02:33:15.200 --> 02:33:22.160 Politicized if that makes sense. Oh, yeah, it's not because they're inherently everything is inherently political even like liking 02:33:22.800 --> 02:33:30.080 A certain activity that has deeply nothing to do with politics is politicized sure like you're talking about like like going to the shooting range 02:33:30.320 --> 02:33:34.800 For instance sure I could see that 02:33:34.880 --> 02:33:39.920 It it can even be like More chill than that like liking a certain type of sport 02:33:40.560 --> 02:33:42.560 Really? Yeah 02:33:44.640 --> 02:33:50.400 It's pretty wild that's lame It's not cool. No. No, I'm not chill with it. Yeah 02:33:51.440 --> 02:33:57.440 I just wanted I just want my tech videos. Yeah, so I'm basically I'm trying to say I hear you loud and clear and we try 02:33:57.920 --> 02:34:03.680 but there are situations where You know when you've got a particular political party that is like 02:34:04.240 --> 02:34:07.680 Not doing anything useful for right to repair or obstructing it or whatever 02:34:08.240 --> 02:34:13.760 Um, or you know, she's not even calling when I'm out that just happens on both sides. Yeah, that's that's a very both sides thing 02:34:13.840 --> 02:34:20.000 I intentionally chose that. Yeah, um, then like we have real or when you have a particular side that is, you know 02:34:20.160 --> 02:34:26.480 Not handling privacy very well or is enacting like super stupid legislation. That's objectively stupid 02:34:26.560 --> 02:34:30.080 We can all just agree is stupid if we're not being brainwashed 02:34:30.640 --> 02:34:35.680 Um, then we've got to call that out, right? Like that's that's that's how democracy works 02:34:35.760 --> 02:34:42.720 That's the whole point is that regardless of what team, you know, and they're on my team or they're on your team or whatever 02:34:42.800 --> 02:34:48.400 Regardless of what team someone's on we're supposed to be able to call it out when it's like. Oh, yeah, our solution to 02:34:49.040 --> 02:34:53.840 uh, gatekeeping, um explicit content online is to 02:34:54.320 --> 02:34:59.600 create a giant honeypot of everyone's personal information in a super 02:35:00.320 --> 02:35:03.280 Unsecured way. It's like, well, no, that's objectively a bad idea 02:35:03.680 --> 02:35:06.800 And we should push back on it no matter who's in charge, right? 02:35:07.280 --> 02:35:10.800 So But I just feel like there's less and less room for that 02:35:10.960 --> 02:35:14.960 I don't know why this whole thing like just somewhere to not talk about politics or whatever 02:35:15.280 --> 02:35:18.960 Maybe think of this but every once in a while I think about threads like this on the forum 02:35:19.760 --> 02:35:27.360 um Yeah, this thread has all almost 60,000 replies. It's 11 years at the point now where it's actually like costing 02:35:28.080 --> 02:35:30.400 significant amounts to like store the data for it 02:35:31.280 --> 02:35:34.560 Not that well measurable amounts. How about measurable we could measure it 02:35:35.200 --> 02:35:38.000 Someone could someone could we won't wouldn't be worth it. Yeah 02:35:38.640 --> 02:35:42.960 um, but yeah, and it's just I mean you look at the rules and it's just like 02:35:44.320 --> 02:35:47.840 I don't know Do the thing that makes sense for this post 02:35:48.880 --> 02:35:54.080 Who is number one and number two number three is have fun and number four is just keep it civil and it's like cool 02:35:55.280 --> 02:35:58.800 Nice that last one is becoming harder and harder. It is 02:35:59.600 --> 02:36:03.040 But just have fun and keep it fun and that's the rules. Keep it fun 02:36:05.520 --> 02:36:12.240 All right, Dan hit me. Can you have maybe not a downer this time? Can you do that? Linus? What's an unexpected? Oh, no, wait 02:36:14.000 --> 02:36:22.400 Hey, um Sure, this one's not a downer. Hey, lld Linus. You often announce things with a sing songy way. Where do you think you picked that up from? 02:36:24.560 --> 02:36:33.200 I think that's pretty normal sing songy Or song songy. I'm yeah song songy the song songy way 02:36:34.240 --> 02:36:39.600 Uh, I don't know. I never really thought about it. I did sing as a child 02:36:40.480 --> 02:36:45.440 Uh, I am good enough to know that I suck so I don't often sing 02:36:45.920 --> 02:36:52.880 But I am capable of it a little bit. So maybe it's a thing that I do just naturally 02:36:53.920 --> 02:37:02.080 maybe I had some childhood influence that I never noticed. I truthfully have not really thought about it at all 02:37:03.520 --> 02:37:07.200 Okay, cool Yeah 02:37:07.200 --> 02:37:11.040 There's no way I'm doing any singing right now. I have a sore throat 02:37:14.480 --> 02:37:16.480 He's not listening. That's good. Okay, Dan hit me 02:37:17.840 --> 02:37:23.440 Uh, hello Linus. I'm trying to resist buying a motorcycle. Don't what got you into it 02:37:23.440 --> 02:37:28.480 Don't resist it. How do you stay safe on the road and how does Avon feel about it all the gear all the time? 02:37:28.480 --> 02:37:37.600 Avon hates it Um, oh by the way speaking of motorcycles. You're not done yet speaking of motorcycles. Are you ready to 02:37:38.640 --> 02:37:44.000 Lose I know you're not done yet. Are you ready to lose though? If you aren't done. I haven't lost yet 02:37:44.720 --> 02:37:50.640 Uh, okay. Hold on a second. I gotta I gotta I gotta send a thing to Dan. I gotta send a thing to Dan. He's not done yet 02:37:51.520 --> 02:37:58.960 I Have to send a thing to Dan. He's not done yet. Uh, how do I do? I'm not even concerned share. Hold on 02:38:00.080 --> 02:38:02.800 Share with daniel. Just email it uh to info 02:38:04.160 --> 02:38:08.640 That is not what i'm going to do good. That is not happening 02:38:10.080 --> 02:38:16.720 Walked into it also rude Rude. I'm not mean. Uh, just this one. Yep 02:38:17.440 --> 02:38:22.560 I do have one more. Oh, this is just a different angle. Actually, this is a better angle, but whatever. Okay, fine 02:38:22.720 --> 02:38:26.800 It's starting this to daniel basser okay 02:38:26.800 --> 02:38:28.800 You want both of those? Uh 02:38:29.920 --> 02:38:33.520 Oh, man, I found a third angle. That's like the best one. Yeah, just use the second one 02:38:34.320 --> 02:38:38.720 Okay Drum roll, please 02:38:39.920 --> 02:38:44.480 He's not done yet He's not done yet, but 02:38:44.560 --> 02:38:51.120 Hey progress That is nice progress. It's starting to look pretty good. That's progress. It's definitely not even everywhere 02:38:51.520 --> 02:38:54.720 Uh, hold on part of that is the light and part of that is that it is uneven 02:38:56.880 --> 02:39:04.080 So I went hard mode and used like a candy style coating which I have discovered is 02:39:05.600 --> 02:39:08.640 Pretty much impossible to coat evenly on something as 02:39:09.360 --> 02:39:15.200 Irregularly shaped as a lot of pieces of a motorbike. That makes sense. Um, some of the more uniform pieces 02:39:15.280 --> 02:39:17.920 I've actually got it reasonably uniform 02:39:18.480 --> 02:39:25.280 Um, the wheels are going to be horrible. Don't look at the wheels. Um, there's a fleck like right on the top of the gas tank 02:39:25.280 --> 02:39:34.080 That i'm so upset about. Um Like a little piece of dried paint that was on some of my masking tape to keep paint out of the gas tank 02:39:34.560 --> 02:39:37.600 Came off and landed there and it's like a little white spot 02:39:37.680 --> 02:39:42.880 It's like right on the top like right underwear I'm going to be looking at all the time so upset and there's nothing I can do now 02:39:43.120 --> 02:39:49.920 I would have to completely blast it again Prime it again white again pink again. Like it's not it's not happening. Um 02:39:50.800 --> 02:39:56.240 At this point, I'm just accepting whatever result I get so make of that what you will 02:39:56.960 --> 02:40:02.320 um So it's gonna look pretty bad is what I've kind of come around to 02:40:03.360 --> 02:40:07.760 And I'm gonna ride it anyway because sunk cost fallacy goes hard 02:40:09.200 --> 02:40:14.560 Anyway, um Yeah motorcycle lots of fun. It's a totally different experience from driving 02:40:14.880 --> 02:40:19.440 There are definitely things about it that are more dangerous like the fact that if you get in an accident, you're dead 02:40:20.240 --> 02:40:27.200 Um, but there are things about it that in my opinion make it if you are a very attentive and defensive rider 02:40:27.600 --> 02:40:33.520 Make it easier to avoid getting into an accident. You are more nimble. You have bigger buffer zones 02:40:33.520 --> 02:40:38.720 I'd say that's the bigger thing. Um, I mistakenly said once on the wind show that you can brake faster on a bike 02:40:38.800 --> 02:40:43.120 It feels like it apparently you can't in its physics. So I'm like, okay. That's good to know 02:40:43.520 --> 02:40:48.320 Um, but what you definitely can do is have more buffer space 02:40:48.720 --> 02:40:54.400 So you can position yourself so that you have a bigger cushion side to side from other vehicles 02:40:54.880 --> 02:41:01.280 You can if you are braking you can go beside something to buy yourself a little bit of extra space 02:41:01.520 --> 02:41:05.520 Sometimes not always because if you're braking hard you cannot steer while you're braking on a motorbike 02:41:06.160 --> 02:41:08.160 um 02:41:09.280 --> 02:41:16.800 J2134 says it's literally the most unsafe form of transportation. Okay. Yep fair enough 02:41:17.840 --> 02:41:21.040 But uh, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm not talking about lane splitting. I don't lane split 02:41:21.520 --> 02:41:26.560 Um, and that is a very good way to be in trouble and get dead 02:41:26.960 --> 02:41:31.440 Um, anyway, what got me into it was uh, my dad used to take me on his bike and it was awesome 02:41:31.520 --> 02:41:35.360 There's I don't know. It's like wind, you know going past you and like the 02:41:36.480 --> 02:41:41.920 you know the gear and the I don't know man. I'm not much of a petrolhead when it comes to cars 02:41:42.000 --> 02:41:47.040 I literally just want my car to be as quiet as possible and just like the quiet zoom zoom machine 02:41:47.840 --> 02:41:52.160 Um, I drive electric and I love it, but like something about the motorbike 02:41:52.240 --> 02:41:57.120 I I test drove an electric bike. It sucked just soulless. I love the I love the sound of the bike 02:41:58.160 --> 02:42:02.880 yep bike room room 02:42:02.880 --> 02:42:10.160 Hi LTT guys Why didn't you include pre-built systems from the likes of microcenter memory express et cetera in secret shopper? 02:42:10.240 --> 02:42:17.280 It's a good question. Um, we just don't really think of them as system integrators and we haven't included them and it's arbitrary 02:42:19.200 --> 02:42:23.120 Yeah, that's a very good question. We very well could we just uh, we just didn't 02:42:23.840 --> 02:42:27.200 Microcenter would be a little tougher because we'd probably have to go in person. I would think 02:42:27.840 --> 02:42:32.640 Like we're not american so that's tougher Uh 02:42:32.960 --> 02:42:36.240 To all three of you Do you think 02:42:36.240 --> 02:42:41.840 Canada will bring home lord stanley's cup this year and which team do you think has the best shot? 02:42:42.880 --> 02:42:48.080 I was oilers going into it. Um, just because I feel like they got robbed last year 02:42:48.720 --> 02:42:54.240 um And I I really want I really want I think uh, there's there's 02:42:55.520 --> 02:43:00.400 You got a core with that kind of talent You just got to like you kind of kind of look at it and go like come on like you guys 02:43:00.960 --> 02:43:03.440 There's no way like they got it. Um, but man 02:43:04.480 --> 02:43:09.600 Have you seen That winnipeg jets come back? I've been watching it 02:43:13.440 --> 02:43:17.040 I don't know what's happening over there, dude I mean 02:43:17.040 --> 02:43:22.640 I I it just it makes you want to root for them the fact that they staved off elimination 02:43:23.120 --> 02:43:25.520 With 1.6 seconds 02:43:26.480 --> 02:43:31.440 left And then managed to manage to get it done in double overtime like 02:43:32.000 --> 02:43:34.800 How can you not how can you not root for these people? 02:43:35.440 --> 02:43:38.800 How can you not root for them? It's the love of the game right there, man 02:43:39.520 --> 02:43:44.880 um Man it looked like they had Nothing going on like they weren't set up at all that pass 02:43:45.280 --> 02:43:49.200 That is like one of the most heads up plays that I have ever seen ever 02:43:50.400 --> 02:43:54.240 Just getting it across. He could have just shot again. He could have just shot again 02:43:54.480 --> 02:44:00.720 It's been like a a few years of really good hockey like 500 IQ like what's going on, dude 02:44:01.520 --> 02:44:04.400 Oh It's been a good time. Yeah 02:44:06.080 --> 02:44:11.200 Speaking of a good time And dude, oh man, I didn't I didn't catch the entire game 02:44:11.200 --> 02:44:17.120 But I was like at a sports bar eating dinner last night and I caught like the first five minutes of the oilers game and like 02:44:18.160 --> 02:44:24.160 Right off the opening face off End to end just non-stop actually don't know who won that 02:44:24.240 --> 02:44:26.240 I should probably check 02:44:27.600 --> 02:44:32.480 I am vikas Oilers five four 02:44:32.640 --> 02:44:35.280 Dang, that's a high-screen game. That's a super high. Well 02:44:36.080 --> 02:44:39.840 From up from the little bit of that. I saw I'm not surprised 02:44:40.480 --> 02:44:47.360 Like I'm sure the first thing that both coaches said at the first like tv timeout was yo, everybody settled the f*** down 02:44:48.000 --> 02:44:51.200 Because there's just who needs defense. Yeah, just go 02:44:51.360 --> 02:44:54.480 Oh Anyway, um, all right 02:44:54.960 --> 02:44:57.760 Anyway, good luck for everyone else's team. I guess no one else answered 02:44:59.680 --> 02:45:03.360 Oh, apparently winnipeg's killing it tonight. Sorry. So who's who's yours? 02:45:05.040 --> 02:45:09.120 I don't know oilers. I need to go Then get out of here. What are you waiting for you? 02:45:09.760 --> 02:45:13.680 Oh, all right. We'll see you again next week. Same bad time. Same bad channel.
