1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,920
Mmm Man, there's so many things I want to talk about, but I feel like I should save them for the show

2
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:13,920
How's it going people? I can talk to, you can say things, and I can respond. We can do that

3
00:00:14,780 --> 00:00:20,320
That works What if what if, ahh, what if you made the content?

4
00:00:20,780 --> 00:00:21,620
You asking the them?

5
00:00:27,380 --> 00:00:36,360
Let me see I think I'm going to save the exact details of it for the show, but I have been in some

6
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:44,640
form of transportation up until, effectively, twenty minutes ago, for over thirty hours

7
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:49,840
straight, trying to get here for a while.

8
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:58,320
Some of it did not go well, but we somehow got here anyways.

9
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:25,640
Sparkling water? Definitely still. Sparkling water is a demonic creation, as far as I can tell.

10
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:32,120
Sparkling water is so good.

11
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:49,760
I don't get it. I don't like it.

12
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,840
What is bad with it? It's just, why? Why?

13
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,000
I just, I don't know. I don't really get it.

14
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:06,120
Why, uh, why mess with it?

15
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,240
I get, like, adverse reactions to it.

16
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,080
Sometimes I'll take a sip and I'm just like, whoa, gross.

17
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:19,640
I don't know why.

18
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:24,240
Love the Eva show floor video? Yeah, the comments seemed pretty positive.

19
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:36,920
Happy to see that. Happy to see that.

20
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:47,520
What, uh, what, it comes out of the ground sparkling in some places?

21
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,720
Hi there, everyone. Oh, wow. Uh, that's not a great look.

22
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,680
Oh, my goodness. All right, cool.

23
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:09,320
There you go. Um, so this is maybe the coolest intro we've ever done.

24
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:21,320
Are you speeding through a school zone?

25
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:33,320
Uh, no comment.

26
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,320
That's pretty sick dude. Yeah.

27
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:42,320
And that's like the janky, like thrown together version of this that, that like

28
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,320
we were able to do. Sure. Yeah. With their tech.

29
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:50,040
Because there's going to be like the mega Hollywood version.

30
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:57,560
Yeah. Um, yeah, this is going to be, this is going to be a cool video, guys.

31
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,080
Do not miss Tuesday's video. I don't know if it's going to have a super enticing title or whatever.

32
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,760
Don't be fooled. Watch the video.

33
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:21,520
Um, man, when show is like dead, when show doesn't get views anymore.

34
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:39,320
Oh, okay. Thanks, Dan. Um, I mean, we can still talk about that.

35
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,320
Uh, oh, you know what? Do those things have anything to do with each other?

36
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:52,320
Oh dude, last week when show, it follows the pattern 300,000 views over 10,000 likes.

37
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:59,320
It's actually one of the most liked when shows in the last forever, but it has like

38
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,320
half as many views as some of the ones from like a month or two ago.

39
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:10,320
Huh. That is interesting. Cause I did notice that like, you know, I was remote and had 10 quibillion ping.

40
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,320
Um, but it did actually feel like a pretty good show. Yeah, I thought it was a pretty good show.

41
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,320
So I was a little bit disappointed when the, when the view seemed low.

42
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,320
Oh, can we change the title to new iPhone? Sorry, Dan.

43
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,320
I mean, obviously I wouldn't order an old iPhone.

44
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,320
I ordered my iPhone. It is only my...

45
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,320
Oh, sorry. No, no, uh, Apple prefers just iPhone.

46
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,320
I ordered iPhone. No, no, I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

47
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,320
I ordered my new iPhone. It's fine. Yeah.

48
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,320
Apple prefers just iPhone.

49
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,320
Thank you for that, Dan. That's funny.

50
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,320
Oh, mic muted, whatever. Don't care.

51
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,320
Oh, his mic was muted the whole time. Nice. Got him.

52
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,320
Let's have his camera on and his mic muted. It seems like a good combo.

53
00:05:54,320 --> 00:06:01,320
Oh my God. Perfect. He should just sit there and just like gum flap the whole time.

54
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,320
The guy who talks to himself.

55
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:11,320
Make them mutually exclusive. So like, he can have his camera up, but his mic has to be muted.

56
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:17,320
Yeah, that's a great idea. Or his camera. It would be like those old universal remotes where every time you turn your TV on, your

57
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,320
receiver goes off.

58
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,320
Oh, man. These are dumb. I like this.

59
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,320
All right, cool.

60
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:41,320
All right. Should we, Dan, that thing that you said muted and stuff.

61
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,320
Is there good news then? Not sure yet.

62
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,320
Okay. Yep. Sure.

63
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:52,320
Okay. What else are we on the dock here?

64
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:58,320
Um, I don't know, but, uh, served the home.

65
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,320
Hit a million subscribers. Oh, nice. Good old Patrick.

66
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,320
Hell yeah. Yeah. Right.

67
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,320
Observed. Yeah. Absolute cool guy.

68
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,320
Yeah. Certified cool guy. Yeah.

69
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:17,320
And like has been for a hot minute.

70
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,320
0.12.

71
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,320
Um, all right.

72
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,320
Okay. Sorry. Yeah.

73
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,320
He just texted me. So I had him on, on my mind.

74
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,320
Uh, what was I going to, what was I going to check?

75
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:38,320
I'm going to check something. Um, no, I don't think I need to check anything.

76
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:43,320
I think we could just, uh, we could just do this thing.

77
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,320
Sure. Okay. There's just one more thing.

78
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:50,320
I want to say. Hilarious. I might be able to go tomorrow.

79
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,320
Oh, really? Because I was wrong. Every other one has been at that time.

80
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,320
Nice. This one is at a later time. Nice.

81
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,320
Yeah. Okay. You just let me know.

82
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,320
Yeah. Uh, you guys are both invited, obviously.

83
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,320
Yeah. Okay. Okay.

84
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,320
So let's do this thing.

85
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,320
Okay. Breakdown. Y'all need to chill the f**k out.

86
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,320
Is Linus calling someone cool? Really?

87
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,320
Praise. It's like your grandpa calling something new.

88
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,320
Wow. Yikes. That's amazing.

89
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,320
Ow. Okay. Yikes.

90
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,320
Yikes. That's amazing. Ouch.

91
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,320
I want to frame that. Damn.

92
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,320
Damn. Wow. Oh, man.

93
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:42,320
The show hasn't even really started yet.

94
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:47,320
Already the sickest of burns have been bestowed upon me.

95
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,320
Ugh. All right.

96
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,320
Well, anyway.

97
00:08:53,320 --> 00:09:01,320
I'll open up the thing to resume the selected now.

98
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:11,320
Do my walk of shame for being apparently old and not cool.

99
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,320
All right.

100
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:21,320
Oh, man. I need to, yeah, have a real sleep at some point.

101
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:27,320
Me too. I don't even have a good reason for it because I'm not jet-legged, but remember how I showed

102
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,320
you my like sleep quality tracker thing the other day?

103
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:37,320
Is it just worse? I still am like comically bad no matter what time I go to bed.

104
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,820
I'm just like, I had one good night's sleep this week, but I actually felt like the worst

105
00:09:41,820 --> 00:09:48,320
after that night. Even if we're being complete. Well, yeah, I do find if you have a really bad chain for a while and you have one good

106
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:53,320
one. Yeah. I'm like, oh, we finally get to rest.

107
00:09:53,320 --> 00:10:00,320
So like gets hit pretty hard. And then you're like, nah, dog, like even when I supposedly have a good quality one, I find

108
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:07,320
I don't feel good unless I get deep REM sleep is like useless and light sleep is super useless.

109
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,320
The one I need is the deep one. That's the only time I ever feel good in the morning.

110
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,320
That's interesting. So maybe there's like tricks for optimizing your deep sleep.

111
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,320
I think there is. Like drugs. Oh.

112
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:23,320
Gabapentin.

113
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:28,320
I just, I just assume, I assume there's illicit substances that will fix this problem for

114
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:35,320
me while introducing many others. I didn't even actually hear the word Dan said, but I'm, I'm assuming it was.

115
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,320
Gabapentin. Oh, I thought you said Evermectin.

116
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,320
Oh, that was pretty funny. No, that would be funny.

117
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,320
It heals everything though. I was giving a serious advice.

118
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,320
That's for horse. It's horse stuff, right? The warmer all kinds of things.

119
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,320
You can take horse tranquilizer. It's for everything. It heals COVID and cancer.

120
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,320
Oh, nice. Nice. Various other things.

121
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:05,320
You know, so does, you know, something like extreme, like uranium or something.

122
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:10,320
Yeah. I mean, is the cancer not cured if you're dead?

123
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,320
Oh, it's a good point.

124
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,320
These treatments worked in the laboratory under Petri dish.

125
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,320
Fire. So does that. Yeah.

126
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,320
Go on. Fire is really good at cleaning things.

127
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,320
Yes. We should eat more fire.

128
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:30,320
Forget fiber. I put the bleach into our veins.

129
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:35,320
We should put the fire there. There's an, if you need to eat it, there's an incredible amount of calories and gasoline.

130
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,320
Really? That actually makes a ton of sense. There actually is.

131
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,320
Like there's so much energy in it. They're legitimately is. Yeah.

132
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,320
Your heart.

133
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,320
Okay. I'm just going to start the thing.

134
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,320
Resuming the selected. Oh, wait, right. Yeah.

135
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,320
30,000 calories in one gallon of gasoline. Okay.

136
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,320
Well, how many calories are in a gallon of milk though?

137
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,320
Like, do I need to drink the gasoline or are there other options?

138
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,320
I think it's a lot less than that. Let's see.

139
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,320
Can you put it? Can you mix it with protein powder? Which one would make you fart more?

140
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,320
A gallon of gasoline or a gallon of milk? I thought it was more than 1600 calories.

141
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,320
That's it. In a gallon of milk. Okay.

142
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,320
So it's actually a lot more. We need to evolve our digestive system. To be able to.

143
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,320
To be able to drink gas. Consume gasoline. Yeah.

144
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:37,320
Your hair is looking great. That is a very odd compliment for me right now because I think it's just grease.

145
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,320
Yeah. You also kind of look like a nerd.

146
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,320
Yeah. It's like a little too tidy. Yeah.

147
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:51,320
I can't make it less tidy though because there's so much grease. No, you actually like, you, you look like a choir boy a little bit.

148
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,320
Yeah. I think, I think you're right to be honest.

149
00:12:55,320 --> 00:13:00,320
Now you look like a choir boy who just woke up.

150
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,320
I don't, I don't think I can fix it right now.

151
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:12,320
This is what it is. Cory G says, go to the weird shower and wash it.

152
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,320
I could, but I don't, I don't think there's like towels there or anything.

153
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,320
I mean, there is a place to get towels.

154
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:24,320
I'm just saying, you know, where's the place that sells to, you can also get screwdrivers

155
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,320
and pet beds. Do they just have them there? No.

156
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,320
Yeah. I mean, maybe actually. Sometimes they do.

157
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:35,320
Sometimes they don't. All right. One gram of uranium 235 has 20 billion calories.

158
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,320
That's a. Okay. I've resumed it.

159
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:52,320
Select it. Calm down. All of you.

160
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:59,320
What is up you fine folks and welcome to the, that's never happened before.

161
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,320
I swear that's never happened before.

162
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,320
First time. First time.

163
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:13,320
Look, I'm almost 40. We got a great show for you guys today.

164
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:18,320
Apple's event was actually maybe kind of exciting.

165
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:23,320
It could just be that my excitement about the new AirPods Pro threes is bleeding over

166
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,320
into all the other products. That might be true, but they look really cool.

167
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:31,320
Maybe the rest of them are crap, but the AirPods Pro threes look pretty freaking awesome.

168
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:39,320
Yeah. In other news this week, the real self-driving was the friends we made along the way.

169
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:46,820
Tesla has changed the definition of full self-driving completely abandoning their promise of unsupervised

170
00:14:46,820 --> 00:14:50,320
autonomous driving. We're talking about that later. What else we got this week?

171
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:55,320
Nintendo gets another video game patent and the whole internet loved that.

172
00:14:55,320 --> 00:15:03,820
No, no, they didn't. Also for the people that said that the AI summary things were definitely not doing anything

173
00:15:03,820 --> 00:15:08,320
to search. Google has now admitted that the open web is in rapid decline.

174
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:13,320
Yeah, rapid decline, not just regular decline, the rapidest of declines.

175
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,320
Cool. Nice. Awesome.

176
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:21,320
Don't you love when our corporate overlords confirm what we knew all along?

177
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:40,320
Yeah. Yeah.

178
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:46,320
The show today is brought to you by Proton, Vessi, Squarespace, and Delta Hub.

179
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:51,320
Alongside, of course, our RAP partner, Dbrand, our laptop partner, Dell, and our chair partner,

180
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,320
Secret Lab. That's right, my friends. It's hard times.

181
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,320
We have seven sponsors on the land show.

182
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,320
We're going to, we're going to spread them out a little bit though.

183
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:06,320
Kind of sprinkle up here and there.

184
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:11,320
We need more like the product placement ones.

185
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,320
We need to just go full like- Sure.

186
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,320
We could wear like Nike headbands and stuff.

187
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,320
What's that movie? Oh man. That movie.

188
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,320
With Ricky Bobby. Remlins. No, not Ricky Bobby.

189
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,320
The music one. The music movie.

190
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,320
La La Land. Was it also comedy? What the f*** are you talking about?

191
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,320
It was a comedy. I am like- Walk hard?

192
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,320
No, no. I have no details for anyone.

193
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,320
You're a great- Great world. There we go.

194
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:45,320
Oh my God. The music one. With like the Pizza Hut breaking the fourth wall talking right to camera.

195
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,320
You know that every movie has music in it, right?

196
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,320
Whack the mic. I'm sorry. You know-

197
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,320
No, I meant Wayne's World.

198
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,320
We knew that so tired he's kind of drunk Linus was fun.

199
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:04,320
But I don't think we knew that so tired he's kind of drunk Luke was this fun.

200
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,320
You're stupid today.

201
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:14,320
So for context, I started my journey home at-

202
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:21,320
I think it was like 4pm Thursday Bulgarian time.

203
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,320
Yes. And I have been on various forms- That means something to me.

204
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,320
Of transportation ever since then. Perhaps planes, trains, and automobiles.

205
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,320
Another great movie with music in it.

206
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:38,320
Three planes, three trains, two Ubers, and one Emma picking me up from the airport.

207
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:42,320
That was the chain of events that had to get me home.

208
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:48,320
And two of the planes were late.

209
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,320
Nice. I think every single train was late.

210
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:57,320
Two of them were late by like 50 minutes. The only answer is gamer plane and gamer train.

211
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,320
I couldn't need it all. And gamer fire truck.

212
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,320
You have the gamer van already. We've got the fire truck, bro. And the fire truck.

213
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,320
We've got the fire truck. Okay, cool. That's the only answer.

214
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,320
So road is already taken care of. Yep.

215
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:16,320
Okay, where are we? Apple product launch. Apple is launching a ton of new products on September 19th.

216
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:21,320
They are all getting their new square sensor center stage front cam.

217
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:27,320
Okay. I swear. I don't know if I ever said it in a video or if I ever told you, but I totally thought

218
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:34,320
of this idea like ages ago. Did I ever talk to you about the idea of having a square sensor so that you could just like

219
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:39,320
shoot landscape like this or so that you could just shoot square and then you could like

220
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:44,080
crop it later and it could just have safe zones on it or whatever. I don't know when you had that idea, but I remember this vaguely.

221
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,320
I don't even care who had the idea first.

222
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:55,920
I love that Apple is doing this. So their new selfie cams on the iPhone 17 lineup just allow you to go, oh yeah, I'm taking

223
00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:02,360
a vertical selfie. My friends who are paid by me are now nearby.

224
00:19:02,360 --> 00:19:06,320
They don't want to get that close right now apparently. Oh, what? Yeah, there we go.

225
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:12,320
Boom. It'll just expand the frame and use additional sensor in order to fit them.

226
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:20,320
Okay. It's powered by a high Apple intelligence, which means it will probably suck for a bit.

227
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,320
Yeah. I wonder what the AI is doing. Hopefully not much.

228
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,320
Hopefully very little. Yeah.

229
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,320
And if it's doing very, if all it's doing is recognizing human faces, which then

230
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:34,320
sure. Realistically machine learning has been pretty good at for a minute or two.

231
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:39,960
Very effective. Then I see that as just an outstanding feature.

232
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:47,400
They all get the new ceramic shield to front glass. I mean, Apple's front glass has been for a while now.

233
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:54,040
Original ceramic shield was already awesome. This new one, I mean, presumably could only be better, but that's not necessarily true

234
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:59,320
because we have seen cases where from one iteration of Corning Gorilla Glass to another,

235
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:05,360
sometimes there are trade-offs. Like you gain some drop resistance, but you lose some scratch resistance and so on and

236
00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:12,840
so forth. They also, all, all the new iPhones start with 256 gigs of storage and even the base

237
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:18,040
iPhone 17 is now 120 flippin' hertz on the display.

238
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:26,440
That's pretty sick. That brings them up to speed with cheap Android phones from years ago, but what it also does

239
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:33,000
if we can sort of put away the snarky hat for a minute is it takes away the obstacles

240
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,320
that many iPhone upgraders who are sitting there going, okay, when are they going to

241
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,320
do it? When are they going to do it? When are they going to do it?

242
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:44,040
I want those features that have been highlights of the Pro series, but I want them on the

243
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:52,000
regular iPhone because I don't want to spend $2,000 US on the top spec iPhone 17 Pro Max,

244
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,200
I think is two grand. What a name.

245
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,720
That's two terabytes of storage in it. That is absurd.

246
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,280
The lineup just honestly looks really good. The only thing-

247
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:07,520
This, like, base model iPhone 17, though, like, actually looks pretty killer.

248
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:13,760
I mean, Apple's SoCs have been just plain better for a very long time at this point.

249
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:20,360
Eight gigs of RAM is plenty for iOS, even if we realistically do need more to run Android

250
00:21:20,360 --> 00:21:25,920
really smoothly with heavy task switching, 6.3-inch display, 48 megapixels, so, yeah,

251
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,040
there's two 48 megapixel sensors on the back personally.

252
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:37,480
Ah, man. Oh, this is actually a tough one. I was about to say I don't use my telephoto much, but the times I use it, boy, do I ever

253
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,760
like it. So I shouldn't even say the times I use it because I don't have a telephoto.

254
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:48,260
I'm running a Pixel 9a right now, but Yvonne on her S23 Ultra had a really great telephoto,

255
00:21:48,260 --> 00:21:52,220
and if we were at a kid's concert or whatever, her phone was the only one of ours that was

256
00:21:52,220 --> 00:21:58,180
even remotely useful. So having a telephoto lens when you need it can be pretty nice.

257
00:21:58,180 --> 00:22:01,980
Up to 30 hours of video playback, $800.

258
00:22:01,980 --> 00:22:04,980
That's a lot of money. It is a lot of money. That's a lot of money.

259
00:22:04,980 --> 00:22:09,980
That's a lot of money. But it is the current gen phone, which gets one more year of product support compared to

260
00:22:09,980 --> 00:22:15,920
if you buy a last gen one for less, and it's not more than last year.

261
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,520
It's the same starting price as last year, but we get a 120 Hertz display.

262
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:29,720
We get more storage. So I'm not even in a world where basically everything is going up in price.

263
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,080
Yeah, it's like the sequel to Waterworld.

264
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:42,600
It's just inflation world. Starring Kevin Costner, whose sense of self-importance has inflated at the same level of as money

265
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,640
over the last 30 years.

266
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:54,200
To be clear, I don't hate Kevin Costner. I just think he seems to think he's a lot more relevant than he is.

267
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:59,960
That's all. I have no idea. I would watch Waterworld too though.

268
00:22:59,960 --> 00:23:06,920
He starred in one super amazing film, Dances with Wolves, that I watched as a child and

269
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:13,880
didn't understand because I was a kid, and then he was in that movie with Ashton Kutcher

270
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,320
that I thought was solidly okay. What movie is that?

271
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:22,360
I don't remember. It involved like rescuing people, I think, and a helicopter.

272
00:23:22,360 --> 00:23:25,360
Can't remember.

273
00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:30,840
Scrappy D.P. says he wants to own Montana. That wouldn't even necessarily surprise me that much.

274
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:35,360
The Guardian. The Guardian, yeah, I found it. Oh, this guy.

275
00:23:35,360 --> 00:23:41,160
Oh, this guy. He says about Kevin Costner. How do you avoid?

276
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,840
I think the people genuinely want to know. How do you avoid knowing about celebrities?

277
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,960
I just don't care.

278
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,240
I just like deeply don't care. But they're everywhere.

279
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:58,400
I think that's why though, is I have a rather intense level of lack of care.

280
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,560
I'll recognize her face a little bit.

281
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,600
But like, I don't know. Right, so you know which one is Kevin Costner, right?

282
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,280
Yeah. So you know who Ashton Kutcher is then?

283
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,280
In the photo. Yeah. Oh man.

284
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:18,760
Anyway. I forgot. And then I was like, oh yeah, he did that TV show, that 70 show or whatever.

285
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,760
He's on there, right? Yeah. Yeah.

286
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,760
Him and the rapist. The rapist. Oh yeah, you don't know about that?

287
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,760
No. Yeah. See.

288
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,760
Yeah, it was the whole thing. I don't follow. Yeah, don't worry about it.

289
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:39,920
Yep. So, the most controversial new iPhone is of course, the iPhone Air.

290
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:47,240
It uses the A19 Pro processor, so it uses the same chip as the 17 Pro.

291
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:51,160
It has 12 gigs of RAM like the 17 Pro.

292
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:58,480
It has a 6.5 inch display, which is kind of in between the 17 Pro and the 17 Pro Max.

293
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:07,100
But it does give up some things. So it has a 48 megapixel single main camera rather than having multiple shooters.

294
00:25:07,100 --> 00:25:13,500
It has the new C1X modem, which we don't know if that's giving something up or gaining

295
00:25:13,500 --> 00:25:19,980
something. Yeah, we'll see. If I had to guess, I'd say that, and I could 100% be wrong about this.

296
00:25:19,980 --> 00:25:24,900
If I had to guess, I'd say the C1X is super efficient, but maybe compromises somewhere

297
00:25:24,900 --> 00:25:28,860
else where the full-size phones with their full-size batteries didn't do.

298
00:25:28,860 --> 00:25:34,660
As you say, if it was just raw better, I feel like they would put it on other ones. But I also feel like this is kind of like an experimental device to a certain degree.

299
00:25:34,660 --> 00:25:41,060
It is eSIM only and only boasts 27 hours of video playback rather than 30 for the iPhone

300
00:25:41,060 --> 00:25:51,700
17, 33 for the 17 Pro, and a whopping 39 hours for the 17 Pro Max.

301
00:25:51,700 --> 00:25:59,180
There are some extra benefits, maybe. So this was something that is always fun to watch Apple do.

302
00:25:59,180 --> 00:26:03,980
You remember when they went unapologetically plastic and then they were like, actually

303
00:26:04,020 --> 00:26:08,580
fuck plastic, plastic's fucking stupid, like immediately after that and just pretended that

304
00:26:08,580 --> 00:26:11,580
never happened? Oh, yeah. Yeah, you remember that.

305
00:26:11,580 --> 00:26:19,220
Okay. So do you remember how on their Pro models, Apple leaned super hard into titanium, iPhone's

306
00:26:19,220 --> 00:26:25,500
titanium, you know, like their titanium?

307
00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:30,100
Yeah. Okay. So that happened.

308
00:26:30,100 --> 00:26:40,220
And then, and then the new iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max came out, it's a song.

309
00:26:40,220 --> 00:26:43,220
Okay. What song is that? It's called Titanium.

310
00:26:43,220 --> 00:26:47,700
All right. That makes sense, to be honest. David Guena or Gueta or whatever it is.

311
00:26:47,700 --> 00:26:53,220
See, I don't know. Like I just, okay, but let's back up again.

312
00:26:53,220 --> 00:26:56,100
You see images and read words, right? Oh, right.

313
00:26:57,100 --> 00:27:08,300
Dyslexic. See, like I can't, I can't not know what a song is called or who it's by because it

314
00:27:08,300 --> 00:27:11,900
just, like it shows up and I read it. Okay.

315
00:27:11,900 --> 00:27:17,420
But I just, I don't think I've listened to that song. I know some songs. There's no way you've not heard this song.

316
00:27:17,420 --> 00:27:22,100
There's actually, it's completely impossible that you have never heard this song.

317
00:27:22,100 --> 00:27:26,500
Hold on. And then we're going to get more ad blog than we did from you talking about the guy on

318
00:27:26,500 --> 00:27:29,500
72. It's worth it. I don't even care.

319
00:27:29,500 --> 00:27:32,500
Okay. Yeah. Well, yeah.

320
00:27:32,500 --> 00:27:38,500
Yeah. Anyway, what are we supposed to be talking about?

321
00:27:38,500 --> 00:27:42,620
You like all the like top 40 slop stuff. I don't listen to it that much.

322
00:27:42,620 --> 00:27:45,900
You just called Sia slop. Sia?

323
00:27:45,900 --> 00:27:49,260
That's extremely disrespectful. Who's Sia?

324
00:27:49,260 --> 00:27:52,820
It doesn't matter.

325
00:27:52,820 --> 00:27:59,820
She was the, you know, song, whatever, whatever on My Little Pony and she's great.

326
00:27:59,820 --> 00:28:02,820
Okay. I don't, I don't remember her. Sure.

327
00:28:02,820 --> 00:28:10,500
But she's on My Little Pony. Anyway. So the point out, man, chat that you guys are, you guys are rough.

328
00:28:10,500 --> 00:28:14,580
Someone's like, I, I loved Sia, loved her music. Someone's like, she's still alive.

329
00:28:14,580 --> 00:28:17,580
Guys. Okay. You know what?

330
00:28:17,580 --> 00:28:23,340
It's fine. They leaned super heavily into titanium for their marketing for their pro phones.

331
00:28:23,340 --> 00:28:29,540
Yeah. And then this time around, they leaned super hard into aluminum.

332
00:28:29,540 --> 00:28:36,300
They were all like, dude, aluminum has so much thermal performance.

333
00:28:36,300 --> 00:28:39,940
It's like so much better than titanium.

334
00:28:39,940 --> 00:28:43,900
Aluminum is great. You guys are going to love it. Aluminum.

335
00:28:43,900 --> 00:28:48,460
Interesting. Oh, by the way, on the iPhone air, it's titanium. I was just going to say the air is titanium.

336
00:28:48,460 --> 00:28:56,220
And I'm just, I'm kind of sitting here going like, can Apple just, can they just, can they

337
00:28:56,220 --> 00:29:04,940
get some consistency? Can they, can they please get some consistency in their marketing for these materials?

338
00:29:04,940 --> 00:29:11,340
Can you just, can you just say, we put titanium on the pro phones before because it's really

339
00:29:11,340 --> 00:29:16,780
shiny and hard glistening even, you might say, right?

340
00:29:16,780 --> 00:29:21,380
And then can you just say, you know, aluminum's still good.

341
00:29:21,380 --> 00:29:25,740
Like that would have been fine too, but this titanium, it has a nice finish and it's super

342
00:29:25,740 --> 00:29:33,020
shiny. Like if you just told us exactly what it was and you didn't wank it off so hard in the

343
00:29:33,020 --> 00:29:38,100
first place, then it wouldn't be so embarrassing every time you have to backtrack and use a

344
00:29:38,100 --> 00:29:41,100
different material.

345
00:29:41,100 --> 00:29:46,340
So yeah, the iPhone air uses titanium presumably because it is so flipping thin.

346
00:29:46,340 --> 00:29:50,860
I don't know whoops, how it's even possible that my notes don't include the thickness.

347
00:29:50,860 --> 00:30:00,260
I believe it's 5.4 millimeters though, 5.64 millimeters.

348
00:30:00,260 --> 00:30:03,380
That is nuts.

349
00:30:03,380 --> 00:30:08,980
That is wild. That is like, I can't wait to get it in my hands.

350
00:30:08,980 --> 00:30:13,020
Finally I'll have a phone that fits. Does it feel whack that it has an enormous camera bump that's like thicker than the

351
00:30:13,020 --> 00:30:19,340
phone? I mean, it's no different, yes, yes.

352
00:30:19,340 --> 00:30:26,140
And I can see why it's a controversial device. I can see why it's really polarizing, but I do think that there are going to be people

353
00:30:26,140 --> 00:30:31,300
that it appeals to and I'm excited just to sort of marvel at the thinness.

354
00:30:31,300 --> 00:30:35,580
It looks super cool. I mean, it's not- Some of the phone.

355
00:30:35,580 --> 00:30:41,540
Yes. Yes, that's fair. Why don't they just make like half of it two mils thick and go like world's finished

356
00:30:41,540 --> 00:30:47,340
phone and then most of it is just that big? Why don't you just join the podcast if you're going to talk all the time?

357
00:30:47,340 --> 00:30:53,700
Shut up. Technically, that's not what I said.

358
00:30:53,700 --> 00:30:57,540
Technically I invited him to join the podcast. Let the record show. You did so aggressively though.

359
00:30:57,540 --> 00:31:00,740
It wasn't very inviting. That's just how I talk to people. You invited someone-

360
00:31:00,740 --> 00:31:05,060
It's true. Look, I really like being friends with you.

361
00:31:05,060 --> 00:31:08,220
I do believe that.

362
00:31:08,220 --> 00:31:18,740
It's something I value. Come over tomorrow.

363
00:31:18,740 --> 00:31:25,180
Okay, I'm excited to check it out.

364
00:31:25,180 --> 00:31:32,260
I'm a little less excited about the 17 Pro and the 17 Pro Max, but they are far from

365
00:31:32,260 --> 00:31:40,300
the biggest disappointment. I think the biggest disappointment broadly in the tech community is where the fuck is

366
00:31:40,300 --> 00:31:44,700
a replacement for the mini. We haven't gotten a new mini since what was it?

367
00:31:44,700 --> 00:31:47,820
12 or 13. Dan, do you remember? Does anyone know?

368
00:31:47,820 --> 00:31:51,220
Let me know in the chat. I believe it was either iPhone 12 or 13 generation.

369
00:31:51,220 --> 00:31:55,100
13. So it's been four freaking years.

370
00:31:55,100 --> 00:32:02,060
People who are still rocking minis- I thought people liked it too. Andrew in the camera department loves his mini and he's just like, yep, it's getting a little

371
00:32:02,060 --> 00:32:07,220
long in the tooth. Any time now, Apple, give me a new mini.

372
00:32:07,220 --> 00:32:12,860
And personally, even though that one is sort of more broadly upsetting to people, I'm actually

373
00:32:12,860 --> 00:32:19,660
bummed that the iPhone 17 Plus isn't a thing. Because I thought the 16 Plus was a great middle ground.

374
00:32:19,660 --> 00:32:24,780
It gave me the bigger screen that I wanted, but it didn't give me any of the paying a

375
00:32:24,780 --> 00:32:29,860
couple hundred US extra dollars for things that I don't really need that the Pro had.

376
00:32:29,860 --> 00:32:35,620
So if there was a 17 Plus, that would honestly be the one that I would be most interested

377
00:32:35,620 --> 00:32:40,780
in this generation, especially now that it has 120 Hertz refresh rate.

378
00:32:40,780 --> 00:32:45,860
And yeah, that's probably the only thing that I was really missing out on with the 16 Plus

379
00:32:45,860 --> 00:32:51,620
when I did my daily driver challenge. So we're actually going to mix up the daily driver challenge this time around.

380
00:32:51,620 --> 00:32:56,540
The title of WAN Show today is I bought my iPhone and I did, but I bought all three.

381
00:32:56,540 --> 00:33:01,660
And so what I'm going to do is I'm going to use all the pockets in our awesome cargo

382
00:33:01,660 --> 00:33:06,380
pants from lttstore.com and I'm going to carry them all.

383
00:33:06,380 --> 00:33:10,820
And I'm going to see which one I gravitate toward.

384
00:33:10,820 --> 00:33:18,900
So we'll do all the unboxings on ShortCircuit. And then basically I'm going to see which one do I actually enjoy using the most.

385
00:33:18,900 --> 00:33:22,300
Interesting. Yeah. I literally don't know.

386
00:33:22,300 --> 00:33:27,740
I don't know if the air is going to entice me.

387
00:33:27,740 --> 00:33:31,280
Could you dupe your SIM? Okay.

388
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:36,140
So the air is eSIM only. That's interesting. So theoretically I believe yes.

389
00:33:36,140 --> 00:33:43,380
But generally speaking, I use my cellular connection almost not at all.

390
00:33:43,380 --> 00:33:49,380
And what I've been doing over the last little while actually because I've had more issues

391
00:33:49,380 --> 00:33:52,740
with Graphi and OS. Okay.

392
00:33:52,740 --> 00:33:57,740
That doesn't mean that you shouldn't use it. It just means that I think I'm done with it.

393
00:33:57,740 --> 00:34:01,940
I might be kind of screwed anyways. I've been trying to diagnose it over the last couple of days.

394
00:34:01,940 --> 00:34:07,380
Well, I mean, I might be able to just repair it. I don't know. But the USB port on my phone might be like super dying.

395
00:34:07,380 --> 00:34:10,380
Bummer. Yeah. I mean, do you need it?

396
00:34:10,380 --> 00:34:13,380
Fireless charging? Oh. Like, I don't know.

397
00:34:13,380 --> 00:34:16,380
Cloud sync? I have literally zero of those.

398
00:34:16,380 --> 00:34:18,380
I mean. I can get some.

399
00:34:19,380 --> 00:34:22,380
There's this thing. I could join the new age. Money.

400
00:34:22,380 --> 00:34:25,380
It can be exchanged for goods and services like it says. I'd prefer to not.

401
00:34:25,380 --> 00:34:28,380
Yeah. I know. I know.

402
00:34:28,380 --> 00:34:35,380
Oh my God. Do you know how many people think that you are destitutely poor because of the way that...

403
00:34:35,380 --> 00:34:38,380
I'm doing fine. I know. I know.

404
00:34:38,380 --> 00:34:39,380
They don't.

405
00:34:42,380 --> 00:34:45,380
I don't mind plugging something in. I don't know.

406
00:34:45,380 --> 00:34:49,380
This doesn't feel like a... I actually plug in everything too.

407
00:34:49,380 --> 00:34:52,380
Yeah. Like, I don't know. I do find...

408
00:34:56,380 --> 00:34:59,380
Some of the, like, Mag... What is the name of it on Android?

409
00:34:59,380 --> 00:35:02,380
Because MagSafe for iPhone, right? Yeah.

410
00:35:02,380 --> 00:35:05,380
I don't know. Whatever the magnetic one is. MagSafe ripoff.

411
00:35:05,380 --> 00:35:08,380
Sure. That is kind of neat in some applications.

412
00:35:08,380 --> 00:35:11,380
Yeah, it is. I could see that. Yeah.

413
00:35:11,380 --> 00:35:16,380
It's great for the car. Yes. But almost nowhere that I would actually have my phone.

414
00:35:16,380 --> 00:35:19,380
So, like, I haven't really cared. I'm going to sleep.

415
00:35:19,380 --> 00:35:22,380
I can plug my phone in. It's really not a big deal. Honestly, I'm the same.

416
00:35:22,380 --> 00:35:31,380
Like, Apple... So many of the Apple user reasons why I should accept nothing less than an iPhone.

417
00:35:31,380 --> 00:35:34,380
They don't resonate with me and MagSafe is definitely one of them.

418
00:35:34,380 --> 00:35:40,380
I have Android Auto and CarPlay in my car, so I just put my phone down or I just leave it in my pocket.

419
00:35:40,380 --> 00:35:44,380
It's wireless in both of our main family vehicles now.

420
00:35:44,380 --> 00:35:52,380
So, I don't need to charge my car. Man, battery life on the Pixel 9a and on the latest iPhones is, like, so good.

421
00:35:52,380 --> 00:35:55,380
I'm at 75%. Pixel... Yeah.

422
00:35:55,380 --> 00:35:59,380
The 9a specifically has just flipping outstanding battery life.

423
00:35:59,380 --> 00:36:04,380
I've heard great things about the 9a specifically from, like, a ton of people.

424
00:36:04,380 --> 00:36:07,380
Well, it is not a perfect phone.

425
00:36:07,380 --> 00:36:10,380
No. But the battery life is great. It's outstanding.

426
00:36:10,380 --> 00:36:13,380
That's one of the things... Best I've ever seen on an Android. Okay.

427
00:36:13,380 --> 00:36:17,380
What are your downsides? Because I care about very little battery life these days.

428
00:36:17,380 --> 00:36:21,380
It's just kind of a butt head sometimes. It's just kind of, like, dumb sometimes.

429
00:36:21,380 --> 00:36:24,380
Like, I'll go to do... Is that just a pixel? Okay, there.

430
00:36:24,380 --> 00:36:27,380
I held down for voice and it's like, oops, something went wrong.

431
00:36:27,380 --> 00:36:31,380
And it's like, why? Why do you just randomly do that a lot of the time?

432
00:36:31,380 --> 00:36:34,380
It's just not perfect. That's all.

433
00:36:34,380 --> 00:36:37,380
And whenever I'm recommending... It sounds like it might just be pixel issues.

434
00:36:37,380 --> 00:36:44,380
Well, it might be. It might also be that I'm using SwiftKey and, you know, someone, no one at any point,

435
00:36:44,380 --> 00:36:48,380
ever tried SwiftKey on a pixel and noticed, oh, hey, this doesn't work.

436
00:36:48,380 --> 00:36:55,380
We should probably work with our partner, Microsoft and or Google to address it, like, whatever.

437
00:36:55,380 --> 00:37:00,380
So I just... It's not perfect. I do get some buggy behavior, so make of that what you will.

438
00:37:00,380 --> 00:37:04,380
But the battery life is great. Back to GraphiNOS for a second.

439
00:37:04,380 --> 00:37:07,380
Oh. Oh, no.

440
00:37:07,380 --> 00:37:11,380
I just...

441
00:37:11,380 --> 00:37:16,380
It's really cool. And my God, is it ever snappy?

442
00:37:16,380 --> 00:37:20,380
Like, it's so responsive. Battery life also outstanding.

443
00:37:20,380 --> 00:37:26,380
Like, this is the one I've got my SIM in right now, and it's at 99% today.

444
00:37:26,380 --> 00:37:29,380
And I have used it today, but very little.

445
00:37:29,380 --> 00:37:35,380
But I have used it. And it's like, just at idle, it like sips power.

446
00:37:35,380 --> 00:37:42,380
And it's just... It's everything that a pixel already was, but like, it's more secure.

447
00:37:42,380 --> 00:37:47,380
And it's kind of snappier and more responsive.

448
00:37:47,380 --> 00:37:52,380
It's just that when you go to do something new that you haven't done before,

449
00:37:52,380 --> 00:37:55,380
like say, for example, same thing.

450
00:37:55,380 --> 00:37:59,380
If I wanted to use voice dictation in order to do something,

451
00:37:59,380 --> 00:38:04,380
I might have to hold this button where it will say voice typing.

452
00:38:04,380 --> 00:38:07,380
Voice input, you must download and install Google voice search.

453
00:38:07,380 --> 00:38:13,380
Download. It takes me to Google by Google LLC, and it's installed.

454
00:38:13,380 --> 00:38:16,380
So I click... I don't know.

455
00:38:16,380 --> 00:38:22,380
I go back, and then I try again, and then it download.

456
00:38:22,380 --> 00:38:25,380
Oh, no, not that. Okay, hold on. Wait, there's a thing in between.

457
00:38:25,380 --> 00:38:28,380
Oh, I'll try the download there. No, wait, that just brings me back here.

458
00:38:28,380 --> 00:38:35,380
And I could solve this. I'm sure I could solve this. I mean, I have a Graphene OS team member in my Discord that I can.

459
00:38:35,380 --> 00:38:42,380
So it's like a Linux-ism. I probably will ask how to solve this, but it takes a special sort of person

460
00:38:42,380 --> 00:38:48,380
to feel like fucking solving something like that instead of just using their phone.

461
00:38:48,380 --> 00:38:56,380
And you know what? Sometimes I'm that kind of person, but for my phone, I don't think I am,

462
00:38:56,380 --> 00:38:59,380
at least not anymore, at least not right now.

463
00:38:59,380 --> 00:39:05,380
And for me, where my privacy is quite compromised already,

464
00:39:05,380 --> 00:39:08,380
which isn't to say that this is the right answer for you.

465
00:39:08,380 --> 00:39:11,380
Yeah. I just...

466
00:39:11,380 --> 00:39:14,380
I'm not sure if I...

467
00:39:14,380 --> 00:39:17,380
Yeah, I'm not sure if I... I'm not sure it's worth the work for you, specifically.

468
00:39:17,380 --> 00:39:21,380
...feel like it right now. Because remember, too, the issues that I switch phones all the time.

469
00:39:21,380 --> 00:39:26,380
I can't have, like, it be a hassle every time I go to do something on...

470
00:39:26,380 --> 00:39:29,380
For hardware reviewer Linus, it might not be...

471
00:39:29,380 --> 00:39:34,380
Like, I've got at least... I still haven't done the Fold 7 because I've been putting it off

472
00:39:34,380 --> 00:39:40,380
because I've been kind of forcing myself to wade through this sort of Graphino-esque thing.

473
00:39:40,380 --> 00:39:44,380
And I think this is it.

474
00:39:44,380 --> 00:39:46,380
What?

475
00:39:49,380 --> 00:39:52,380
I think this is it. You think what's it?

476
00:39:52,380 --> 00:39:56,380
This is it. This. Oh, is this your iPhone sets?

477
00:39:56,380 --> 00:39:59,380
Or what? Sorry, what are you doing? Oh, you're popping your SIM out?

478
00:39:59,380 --> 00:40:02,380
Yep. I've had the SIM in the Graphino-esque.

479
00:40:02,380 --> 00:40:08,380
You started it. I think this is it. And to be clear, like, we'll give it a fair shake.

480
00:40:08,380 --> 00:40:12,380
Jordan's going to be working on the video with me, so it'll be partly like my notes.

481
00:40:12,380 --> 00:40:19,380
Like he already said, I'm just going to reiterate here. Just because it might not be for Linus has nothing to do with it being for you or not.

482
00:40:19,380 --> 00:40:23,380
He is a very unique user of phones.

483
00:40:23,380 --> 00:40:28,380
It is extremely probable that his style is not yours.

484
00:40:28,380 --> 00:40:32,380
And there are things that I enjoyed about it a lot.

485
00:40:32,380 --> 00:40:37,380
I just think it's not right for me at this moment.

486
00:40:37,380 --> 00:40:41,380
Have you thought about trying Linea Joess as well?

487
00:40:41,380 --> 00:40:46,380
Because I was thinking it could be interesting to look at your, like, Note 9 with Linea Joess or something.

488
00:40:46,380 --> 00:40:51,380
I wouldn't mind it. I wouldn't mind giving it a shot.

489
00:40:51,380 --> 00:41:05,380
I think that for me, the well-maintained with tens of millions install base androids already have a lot of problems with interoperability.

490
00:41:05,380 --> 00:41:14,380
And the issue with Android generally is not the everyday stuff.

491
00:41:14,380 --> 00:41:17,380
It's the edge cases.

492
00:41:17,380 --> 00:41:24,380
And it's the infinite customizability is sort of both its greatest strengths and its greatest weakness.

493
00:41:24,380 --> 00:41:31,380
Like one of the things that irritated me about my Graphino S Pixel 9a, not to be confused with my other Pixel 9a,

494
00:41:31,380 --> 00:41:35,380
is screenshot sharing just kind of blows.

495
00:41:35,380 --> 00:41:38,380
And I could go find a third-party tool for that.

496
00:41:38,380 --> 00:41:42,380
But like as it is right now, right? What's your flow for screenshot sharing?

497
00:41:42,380 --> 00:41:48,380
When I grab a screenshot, okay, so I go to share and then, okay, I go to edit.

498
00:41:48,380 --> 00:41:53,380
I'm just a boomer. And then I, okay, so now I can crop, right?

499
00:41:53,380 --> 00:41:58,380
So I'm in the interface where I can like crop and do stuff.

500
00:41:58,380 --> 00:42:01,380
Where the f**k is my share button?

501
00:42:01,380 --> 00:42:04,380
There's no share button in this interface.

502
00:42:04,380 --> 00:42:11,380
So on my Pixel that is running Pixel OS, I take my screenshot, I go to share.

503
00:42:11,380 --> 00:42:19,380
And then if I want to edit it, I can like edit and then I can share it immediately because that was what I intended to do.

504
00:42:19,380 --> 00:42:24,380
So there was more consideration for the user intent.

505
00:42:24,380 --> 00:42:31,380
And I can obviously save and then go share this, but it's an unnecessary extra step.

506
00:42:31,380 --> 00:42:36,380
And why? How about I just don't?

507
00:42:36,380 --> 00:42:42,380
The other thing is that you can share it and then it just like won't save to your gallery because I don't want this forever.

508
00:42:42,380 --> 00:42:46,380
Or I can save it and share it. I have the option as part of that flow on here.

509
00:42:46,380 --> 00:42:49,380
Okay. And so yeah. The option is cool.

510
00:42:49,380 --> 00:42:52,380
Any of this stuff can be fixed.

511
00:42:52,380 --> 00:43:01,380
But I personally, as someone who takes a lot of screenshots, does a lot of quick markup and shares things with a lot of people,

512
00:43:01,380 --> 00:43:05,380
really appreciate quick features for cropping, marking up.

513
00:43:05,380 --> 00:43:12,380
Like one thing that drives me crazy on the Pixel is that the default text color or the default color of scribbles is blue.

514
00:43:12,380 --> 00:43:15,380
And there doesn't appear to be an obvious way to change it.

515
00:43:15,380 --> 00:43:24,380
Why would the default be blue? Markup, like whatever the word I'm looking for, standard markup color is red.

516
00:43:24,380 --> 00:43:30,380
So it should probably just be red. You're probably just trying to be trendy and cool or something.

517
00:43:30,380 --> 00:43:35,380
I don't know. I don't know what you're trying to accomplish here, but maybe, and maybe there is a way to change the default,

518
00:43:35,380 --> 00:43:40,380
but I would really, I would really rather that it was red as my default markup color.

519
00:43:40,380 --> 00:43:51,380
And so strong markup tools and then easy access to like a really good sharing menu that's really smart about who it recommends to me.

520
00:43:51,380 --> 00:43:58,380
It means a lot to me. I don't use that menu because I find that even on proper Android, it is so dumb.

521
00:43:58,380 --> 00:44:03,380
Yeah. I find it a lot faster to not use that menu.

522
00:44:03,380 --> 00:44:06,380
Probably 60% of the time I send the screenshot to anyone.

523
00:44:06,380 --> 00:44:11,380
It's to Yvonne in WhatsApp, but often she will fall off the most recent.

524
00:44:11,380 --> 00:44:18,380
Which is crazy. Which is, it seems like the kind of thing that Google could more usefully apply AI to.

525
00:44:18,380 --> 00:44:27,380
Who am I more likely to be sending this to? Some person that I have texted once in the last six months or my wife who I often share things to.

526
00:44:27,380 --> 00:44:30,380
Anyway, we've gotten way off the rails here.

527
00:44:30,380 --> 00:44:33,380
Let's talk about AirPods Pro 3.

528
00:44:35,380 --> 00:44:38,380
These make me sad and I'll explain why after we go through it.

529
00:44:38,380 --> 00:44:42,380
Up to two times active noise canceling performance.

530
00:44:42,380 --> 00:44:50,380
Now, I don't know exactly what that means because you got to remember that like decibels are not a linear measure.

531
00:44:50,380 --> 00:45:00,380
And our perceived loudness of sounds is highly contextual depending on what else is going on around us.

532
00:45:00,380 --> 00:45:04,380
So what 2X means, I don't know.

533
00:45:04,380 --> 00:45:16,380
But what I do know is that the performance, comfort, and especially the natural soundingness of the AirPods Pro 2s is already awesome.

534
00:45:16,380 --> 00:45:21,380
And if these are that but more better, I am stoked.

535
00:45:21,380 --> 00:45:28,380
In other news, the earphones are even smaller, which as someone who sleeps with my AirPods Pro 2s in every night,

536
00:45:28,380 --> 00:45:37,380
I actually own two pairs because I've been waking up in the middle of the night so much that I'll like put in my ones that are charged now.

537
00:45:37,380 --> 00:45:41,380
Oh, did I mention that they're claiming two more hours of battery?

538
00:45:41,380 --> 00:45:47,380
So that would be nice. Which is great. Because it means that it's more likely that I will get a longer uninterrupted sleep.

539
00:45:47,380 --> 00:45:51,380
I have a weird take, but... Oh, you use AirPods 4s.

540
00:45:51,380 --> 00:45:55,380
Yeah. Okay. But like the ones without the earrings.

541
00:45:55,380 --> 00:45:58,380
Yeah, that's the AirPods 4s. Sure, yeah.

542
00:45:58,380 --> 00:46:01,380
Making it clear to people that might not know the model differentiation. Without the silicone tips.

543
00:46:01,380 --> 00:46:07,380
Yeah. Yeah. These are shorter now than the 3s were or some other previous version.

544
00:46:07,380 --> 00:46:13,380
Yeah, the stems. I do this when I don't currently want them in my ear.

545
00:46:13,380 --> 00:46:18,380
That is insane. This was a lot easier to do when they were longer.

546
00:46:18,380 --> 00:46:22,380
That is actually unhinged. I can stash them here.

547
00:46:22,380 --> 00:46:26,380
Literally, nobody agrees with you. They'll legitimately stay there for like...

548
00:46:26,380 --> 00:46:30,380
They love siding with you instead of me, but this is a step too far.

549
00:46:30,380 --> 00:46:37,380
They will stay there, no problem. Our worksman says, Luke is not based.

550
00:46:37,380 --> 00:46:40,380
I think he is based because he's a turkey.

551
00:46:40,380 --> 00:46:43,380
I'm really surprised how negative people react to that.

552
00:46:43,380 --> 00:46:47,380
Dude, that is turkey behavior. Why?

553
00:46:47,380 --> 00:46:51,380
This is one of those things where if I have to explain it, you're not capable of understanding

554
00:46:51,380 --> 00:46:54,380
it. I don't get it though, why? Explain it.

555
00:46:54,380 --> 00:46:57,380
Explain it anyways. Try me. Okay, the risk of loss.

556
00:46:57,380 --> 00:47:00,380
Never lost any. It's super high. Never lost any.

557
00:47:00,380 --> 00:47:06,980
I didn't say that you will lose it. I said the risk of loss. I can't do it with these, but with the ones that had the longer stem, I could like lay

558
00:47:06,980 --> 00:47:11,980
down and do bench presses with them stashed there and they would stay no matter what.

559
00:47:11,980 --> 00:47:16,980
You're an actual sociopath. That's the only explanation.

560
00:47:16,980 --> 00:47:20,980
I've never lost one that way. I've done it so much.

561
00:47:20,980 --> 00:47:23,980
Kifricks said... Someone just tried and said, wow, it actually stays on quite well.

562
00:47:23,980 --> 00:47:27,980
Yeah, it does. Kifricks said, that's not so bad.

563
00:47:27,980 --> 00:47:31,980
Jade De Duval says, that's actually insane.

564
00:47:32,980 --> 00:47:37,980
You know what? At the very least, I can say that's a polarizing choice.

565
00:47:37,980 --> 00:47:40,980
Let's get back to the AirPods Pro 3's.

566
00:47:40,980 --> 00:47:42,980
It makes me sick.

567
00:47:44,980 --> 00:47:51,980
Everyone's going to unsubscribe. Are there any internal transfers for positions available?

568
00:47:51,980 --> 00:47:57,980
You know I do this. I've done this in the gym with you.

569
00:47:58,980 --> 00:48:05,980
In other news, the AirPods Pro 3's are getting a new fifth size of ear tip, a double XS,

570
00:48:05,980 --> 00:48:08,980
which is going to be great for kids.

571
00:48:08,980 --> 00:48:12,980
These are like... Okay, hold on. Oh my God, we're coming back to this.

572
00:48:12,980 --> 00:48:17,980
That's not how I wear them. That's how I stash them if I'm not currently using them.

573
00:48:17,980 --> 00:48:20,980
If I need to take it out of my ear to listen to someone, I'll put it there.

574
00:48:20,980 --> 00:48:24,980
I feel like you're trapped in the me arguing with people about American cheese loop right now.

575
00:48:24,980 --> 00:48:28,980
One person is going to say something like that, and then you're going to respond to it,

576
00:48:28,980 --> 00:48:34,980
and then everyone else is going to hear only where I, them, and they're going to run with it.

577
00:48:34,980 --> 00:48:38,980
And then you're going to be stuck in this loop where all you ever said was that

578
00:48:38,980 --> 00:48:43,980
not American cheese, regular cheese, is perfectly meltable,

579
00:48:43,980 --> 00:48:49,980
and people are going to run in completely different directions

580
00:48:49,980 --> 00:48:52,980
and think that you hate hot dogs.

581
00:48:52,980 --> 00:48:56,980
So, yeah, let's just, let's move on from this topic.

582
00:48:56,980 --> 00:49:01,980
This will be great for kids because like on a plane or whatever,

583
00:49:01,980 --> 00:49:04,980
when, that's the, that's, I'm trying to think.

584
00:49:04,980 --> 00:49:08,980
We never did it in restaurants. We've only occasionally done it in the car.

585
00:49:08,980 --> 00:49:12,980
I think that's like the iPad parenting time for me is on the plane.

586
00:49:12,980 --> 00:49:17,980
We'll just give the kids the phone, give them the iPad, give them the headphones.

587
00:49:17,980 --> 00:49:21,980
There's three of them, right? The plane is acceptable. So they sit in their own row.

588
00:49:21,980 --> 00:49:24,980
We're not even there. Sure. And we just have a flight by ourselves.

589
00:49:24,980 --> 00:49:27,980
We feel alternative. They just watch movies anyways.

590
00:49:27,980 --> 00:49:30,980
So, so, yeah, that's going to be, that's going to be great

591
00:49:30,980 --> 00:49:33,980
because I've got, I've got little girls and they have little ears

592
00:49:33,980 --> 00:49:36,980
and smaller ear tips is going to be awesome.

593
00:49:36,980 --> 00:49:40,980
Not that I'm going to get my kids the new ones anyways. They're going to get my hand me down.

594
00:49:40,980 --> 00:49:45,980
So whatever. But they've got a new ultra low noise microphone apparently,

595
00:49:45,980 --> 00:49:49,980
multi-port acoustic architecture. So I, does that mean they have multiple drivers?

596
00:49:49,980 --> 00:49:53,980
I'm actually not sure. I haven't looked into them that much yet. I'm not working on my video yet because we don't get really

597
00:49:53,980 --> 00:49:58,980
access to Apple hardware. New H2 chip, heart rates are actually, I don't think that's new.

598
00:49:58,980 --> 00:50:03,980
I think that's the same one. Heart rate sensing though. So for people who work out, this could be useful, I guess,

599
00:50:03,980 --> 00:50:07,980
if you don't want to wear a watch. I guess there's some moves you wouldn't want to watch on for, right?

600
00:50:07,980 --> 00:50:10,980
For sure. I would, I like this actually.

601
00:50:10,980 --> 00:50:14,980
I think that's very cool. This is one of the things that like I was like, I'm sad about this.

602
00:50:14,980 --> 00:50:16,980
I'm sad about this because I can't get the pros.

603
00:50:17,980 --> 00:50:20,980
Right. Cause he doesn't like silicone. Yeah.

604
00:50:20,980 --> 00:50:28,980
They just squish themselves out of my ears because I have weird ear canals, but yeah, it's, that's actually really cool feature.

605
00:50:28,980 --> 00:50:32,980
Not that I necessarily think you're going to go around like some

606
00:50:32,980 --> 00:50:35,980
people were talking about how this is better because you can do it without your phone on you.

607
00:50:35,980 --> 00:50:38,980
I think this is specifically, I saw comments about that.

608
00:50:38,980 --> 00:50:41,980
I was genuinely confused. I think this is specifically a, so that you don't have to have

609
00:50:41,980 --> 00:50:43,980
your watch on you.

610
00:50:44,980 --> 00:50:48,980
And I would prefer to wear like as few accessories as possible

611
00:50:48,980 --> 00:50:53,980
when I'm out doing stuff. So it being able to be measured through your, your earbuds is pretty

612
00:50:53,980 --> 00:50:54,980
neat.

613
00:50:57,980 --> 00:51:00,980
Most importantly, they are IP 57 now.

614
00:51:00,980 --> 00:51:04,980
So they're like super sweat proof and water resistant and are the

615
00:51:04,980 --> 00:51:11,980
same price. So Apple seems to be kind of just sucking it up on their higher

616
00:51:11,980 --> 00:51:14,980
costs in order to capture some market share right now, which

617
00:51:14,980 --> 00:51:19,980
feels like an uncharacteristically aggressive Apple.

618
00:51:19,980 --> 00:51:23,980
Like they're, they're almost coming across a little, still in

619
00:51:23,980 --> 00:51:26,980
the most Apple way possible, but they're coming across a little

620
00:51:26,980 --> 00:51:30,980
scrappy here, which I kind of like.

621
00:51:30,980 --> 00:51:36,980
I think it's pretty cool. Do we, do we expect them to put a removable battery in them

622
00:51:36,980 --> 00:51:39,980
anytime soon? No. Nope.

623
00:51:39,980 --> 00:51:44,980
Go fuck yourself. They're still Apple, but the AirPods Pro 3s, those were in

624
00:51:44,980 --> 00:51:49,980
immediate order for me when I saw them. Some people are saying that the new ear tips are, are foam and

625
00:51:49,980 --> 00:51:54,980
silicone and that they have some new, yeah, thing.

626
00:51:54,980 --> 00:51:57,980
Maybe, I don't know. Maybe I'll give it a shot, but probably not.

627
00:51:57,980 --> 00:52:00,980
They can give it a shot. I don't think it's going to work for you if there's any kind of

628
00:52:00,980 --> 00:52:03,980
silicone slippage. Yep. I agree.

629
00:52:03,980 --> 00:52:08,980
There's some new watches. Who cares? Let's move on to a new topic.

630
00:52:08,980 --> 00:52:14,980
I mean, does anyone love the Apple watch?

631
00:52:14,980 --> 00:52:18,980
Apple watch feels more like just a complete, it's like a mini,

632
00:52:18,980 --> 00:52:24,980
the mini van of Apple products. It's like, I got the Apple watch because I need, I need notifications

633
00:52:24,980 --> 00:52:29,980
when my hands are dirty or like I, I got it from my grandpa

634
00:52:29,980 --> 00:52:32,980
because he might slip and fall.

635
00:52:32,980 --> 00:52:36,980
It just, it just feels like a, okay, people in chat, they love

636
00:52:36,980 --> 00:52:39,980
their Apple watch. The fitness stuff is that, yeah.

637
00:52:39,980 --> 00:52:43,980
Someone said fitness slash outdoors people. The fitness stuff is actually wild.

638
00:52:43,980 --> 00:52:49,980
The Apple watch is like the king of that. I gave up completely when my Apple watch series, something or

639
00:52:49,980 --> 00:52:52,980
other congratulated me for my excellent bike ride while I was

640
00:52:52,980 --> 00:52:56,980
driving down the highway. I was just like, well, this is just obviously.

641
00:52:56,980 --> 00:53:01,980
You're biking really fast. Yeah. Biking really fast and my heart rate is a very relaxed resting

642
00:53:01,980 --> 00:53:06,980
heart rate. Like, can we, like I just, I would rather personally, I would

643
00:53:06,980 --> 00:53:10,980
rather have no data than have bad data that I can't trust.

644
00:53:10,980 --> 00:53:15,980
I just don't care. I can't care about it. You can't really trust any of them, but it's heart rate stuff.

645
00:53:15,980 --> 00:53:21,980
The last time I looked into it, which was a very long time ago, was better than like everybody's and buy a long shot, which is

646
00:53:21,980 --> 00:53:24,980
interesting.

647
00:53:24,980 --> 00:53:27,980
Okay. Yeah. Maybe it's worth giving another shot.

648
00:53:27,980 --> 00:53:30,980
I really wish we were able to make that, that video way back

649
00:53:30,980 --> 00:53:33,980
in the day. Do you remember that, that project I was trying to do with

650
00:53:33,980 --> 00:53:36,980
the UBC? I think we've talked about it online show before where we,

651
00:53:36,980 --> 00:53:40,980
they had like a lab where we could hook up all the real,

652
00:53:40,980 --> 00:53:43,980
all the real probes and then like where all the fitness

653
00:53:43,980 --> 00:53:46,980
trackers and see which ones were the most accurate.

654
00:53:46,980 --> 00:53:49,980
But then for whatever reason, they weren't able to do it.

655
00:53:49,980 --> 00:53:52,980
So it didn't happen. But I'd love to revisit the concept.

656
00:53:52,980 --> 00:53:56,980
I think others have done it since then though. Probably. So I don't think it would be a novel thing.

657
00:53:56,980 --> 00:53:57,980
Yeah.

658
00:54:00,980 --> 00:54:03,980
Okay. What are we supposed to be doing now? You want to, you want to pick a topic?

659
00:54:03,980 --> 00:54:06,980
It says topic two. Sure.

660
00:54:06,980 --> 00:54:12,980
We can do this Corsair one or we can jump down into,

661
00:54:12,980 --> 00:54:17,980
oh, do we have the, 10 to one might take a bit. Do we have the anthropic settlement in here?

662
00:54:17,980 --> 00:54:21,980
Oh, we didn't, I know we don't have that this week guys, sorry, but that's interesting.

663
00:54:21,980 --> 00:54:29,980
Go look it up on your own, I guess. The AI news is fast, heavy and always very similar.

664
00:54:29,980 --> 00:54:32,980
So I don't think it's good to, I don't know if this one's,

665
00:54:32,980 --> 00:54:35,980
I don't know if this one's that similar. I don't know what this one is.

666
00:54:35,980 --> 00:54:38,980
No, this one's kind of a big deal. Oh, okay.

667
00:54:38,980 --> 00:54:41,980
Yeah, anthropic, fine, we'll just, we'll just go through it now.

668
00:54:41,980 --> 00:54:47,980
Do it live. Anthropic agreed to pay $1.5 billion to settle claims

669
00:54:47,980 --> 00:54:51,980
that it downloaded pirated books to train its AI systems.

670
00:54:51,980 --> 00:54:54,980
And this has,

671
00:54:54,980 --> 00:54:57,980
Who are they paying money to? Oh wait, that was eight days ago. And then three days ago from Reuters,

672
00:54:57,980 --> 00:55:00,980
a federal judge in San Francisco has declined for now

673
00:55:00,980 --> 00:55:03,980
to approve the settlement that was announced Friday.

674
00:55:03,980 --> 00:55:07,980
So stuff's going down.

675
00:55:07,980 --> 00:55:11,980
And my understanding is that because they settled

676
00:55:11,980 --> 00:55:15,980
and it never went to trial, this wouldn't be a precedent.

677
00:55:15,980 --> 00:55:19,980
And so the matter is still unresolved of like

678
00:55:19,980 --> 00:55:22,980
copying copyrighted works to train your AIs

679
00:55:22,980 --> 00:55:26,980
and if you should, you know, probably have your company

680
00:55:26,980 --> 00:55:29,980
just shut down because it was built on

681
00:55:29,980 --> 00:55:34,980
other people's copyrighted works or maybe what you're doing is so transformative

682
00:55:34,980 --> 00:55:37,980
and terribly important that maybe we just

683
00:55:37,980 --> 00:55:42,980
should not care about copyright in this case. Those are kind of the two camps on either end.

684
00:55:42,980 --> 00:55:47,980
And it is unresolved, which will be the law of the land

685
00:55:47,980 --> 00:55:53,980
for the time being. Yeah, because I can understand the argument

686
00:55:53,980 --> 00:55:55,980
of like national security stuff.

687
00:55:56,980 --> 00:56:00,980
I don't know if like it's important for national security

688
00:56:00,980 --> 00:56:03,980
that it reads like werewolf smut.

689
00:56:05,980 --> 00:56:09,980
I don't know. Hold on one sec. Floatplain chat, you'll need to calm down

690
00:56:09,980 --> 00:56:12,980
or I'm going to start issuing timeouts to all of y'all. Oh, what's going on?

691
00:56:12,980 --> 00:56:15,980
Don't worry about it. All right. Okay.

692
00:56:17,980 --> 00:56:20,980
Should we maybe do the Corsair class action lawsuit?

693
00:56:20,980 --> 00:56:26,980
Yeah. Because I am pretty peeved about this.

694
00:56:26,980 --> 00:56:29,980
There's a Canadian one for bread, by the way.

695
00:56:29,980 --> 00:56:32,980
Okay, but that one I'm not upset about.

696
00:56:32,980 --> 00:56:37,980
So, oh man, this is, dude, I am like,

697
00:56:38,980 --> 00:56:42,980
ugh, I hate this. Okay, so here, Corsair Gaming had to pay

698
00:56:42,980 --> 00:56:46,980
five and a half million dollars to settle a claim,

699
00:56:46,980 --> 00:56:51,980
shut up, to settle a claim of effectively false advertising

700
00:56:51,980 --> 00:56:56,980
on their DDR4 and DDR5 memory products.

701
00:56:56,980 --> 00:57:00,980
Plaintiffs, there's a bit of editorialization here.

702
00:57:00,980 --> 00:57:05,980
Blood sucking lawyer leeches claimed that consumers

703
00:57:05,980 --> 00:57:08,980
reasonably believe that Corsair memory will run

704
00:57:08,980 --> 00:57:13,980
at the advertised speeds, but in reality, the memory does not and cannot run at these advertised speeds

705
00:57:13,980 --> 00:57:17,980
out of the box. Trying to get Corsair memory to run at the advertised speed

706
00:57:17,980 --> 00:57:20,980
requires altering your computer's firmware to attempt

707
00:57:20,980 --> 00:57:25,980
to make the memory run at higher than standard speeds. This is known as overclocking, and overclocking

708
00:57:25,980 --> 00:57:29,980
often does not work. There's substantial risk that attempts to overclock

709
00:57:29,980 --> 00:57:33,980
will fail, all of which is technically true,

710
00:57:33,980 --> 00:57:38,980
but in this case, I don't actually think it's the best kind of true.

711
00:57:38,980 --> 00:57:42,980
Also from the complaint, Plaintiff and class members

712
00:57:42,980 --> 00:57:45,980
were injured as a direct and proximate result

713
00:57:45,980 --> 00:57:48,980
of Corsair's conduct because, A,

714
00:57:48,980 --> 00:57:51,980
they would not have purchased Corsair high speed memory

715
00:57:51,980 --> 00:57:57,980
if they had known that Corsair would breach its warranty, and B, they overpaid for high speed memory products

716
00:57:57,980 --> 00:58:01,980
because they are sold at a price premium due to Corsair's false warranty.

717
00:58:01,980 --> 00:58:05,980
And in this case, warranty doesn't mean that they fix it if it's broken,

718
00:58:05,980 --> 00:58:11,980
they mean they warrant that it will operate the way that it says on the box.

719
00:58:11,980 --> 00:58:18,980
The complaint states numerous times that consumers expect those speeds out of the box,

720
00:58:18,980 --> 00:58:22,980
but this appears to me, even though this is a settlement

721
00:58:22,980 --> 00:58:29,980
and therefore not like an established precedent,

722
00:58:29,980 --> 00:58:34,980
this seems to me to open up an entire can of worms

723
00:58:34,980 --> 00:58:39,980
and make it pretty difficult to advertise a lot of things

724
00:58:39,980 --> 00:58:43,980
that require some technical know-how

725
00:58:43,980 --> 00:58:48,980
in order to get the advertised result.

726
00:58:48,980 --> 00:58:52,980
Am I missing something here?

727
00:58:52,980 --> 00:58:58,980
Do you guys think I'm off base here? Because basically every memory manufacturer

728
00:58:58,980 --> 00:59:03,980
is now at risk of either not being able to advertise

729
00:59:03,980 --> 00:59:09,980
what the overclocked capability... because the RAM itself is capable of the speeds.

730
00:59:09,980 --> 00:59:14,980
That much is certain, and from my point of view,

731
00:59:14,980 --> 00:59:19,980
they label XMP or DOCP or EXPO profiles or whatever else

732
00:59:19,980 --> 00:59:23,980
pretty clearly. I also think that it's really weird

733
00:59:23,980 --> 00:59:27,980
to go after Corsair for this. Very specifically when it's everybody.

734
00:59:27,980 --> 00:59:30,980
If you're buying Corsair though,

735
00:59:31,980 --> 00:59:37,980
I would think at the very least you read an article once.

736
00:59:37,980 --> 00:59:42,980
Maybe this is one of those things where I'm often lecturing the audience about,

737
00:59:42,980 --> 00:59:45,980
don't assume the knowledge of even people

738
00:59:45,980 --> 00:59:49,980
who participate in this hobby, but good lord.

739
00:59:49,980 --> 00:59:53,980
Avon Fox said in industrial applications,

740
00:59:53,980 --> 00:59:56,980
sorry, in industrial automation things are sold

741
00:59:56,980 --> 00:59:59,980
with actual and theoretical capability ratings.

742
01:00:01,980 --> 01:00:07,980
Or showing a default and a potential.

743
01:00:07,980 --> 01:00:11,980
Yeah, I mean, I guess. I kind of agree with you that I don't think

744
01:00:11,980 --> 01:00:18,980
this should have been targeted at Corsair specifically. Okay, so if ASUS has a 165 Hz...

745
01:00:18,980 --> 01:00:21,980
Okay, no, let's go bleeding edge.

746
01:00:21,980 --> 01:00:28,980
If ASUS has a 480 Hz monitor, how much do they have to disclaim?

747
01:00:28,980 --> 01:00:33,980
How much do they have to disclaim? You're going to need a GPU and a cable

748
01:00:33,980 --> 01:00:36,980
that will actually be able to run at that.

749
01:00:36,980 --> 01:00:39,980
You're putting together a computer piecemeal.

750
01:00:39,980 --> 01:00:43,980
Red Bull doesn't actually give you wings. I think there's a bit of an expectation

751
01:00:43,980 --> 01:00:47,980
that if you are buying a constituent component of something

752
01:00:47,980 --> 01:00:51,980
that you are doing so with some expectation

753
01:00:51,980 --> 01:00:56,980
that you will acquire the knowledge to install and operate it.

754
01:00:56,980 --> 01:00:59,980
I'm sorry, man, I don't like this.

755
01:00:59,980 --> 01:01:03,980
At this level with the explanation that I have heard so far,

756
01:01:03,980 --> 01:01:08,980
I don't like it either.

757
01:01:08,980 --> 01:01:11,980
I wouldn't mind if there was maybe some minor changes to packaging.

758
01:01:11,980 --> 01:01:14,980
It's a bit of a meme going to your friend's house

759
01:01:14,980 --> 01:01:19,980
and freaking out that his monitor is still at 60 Hz is like a thing.

760
01:01:19,980 --> 01:01:23,980
So if there was a little bit better explanation of this type of stuff,

761
01:01:23,980 --> 01:01:26,980
finding people's RAMs at default speeds

762
01:01:26,980 --> 01:01:30,980
is very common as well. This is true.

763
01:01:30,980 --> 01:01:34,980
If there was a little bit more explicit communication, that could be cool, but I don't necessarily know

764
01:01:34,980 --> 01:01:38,980
that it was worth this, and I don't think it makes any sense to target JustCourse there.

765
01:01:38,980 --> 01:01:42,980
Other manufacturers apparently do use terminology like up to

766
01:01:42,980 --> 01:01:47,980
to describe the frequencies that their memory kits will run at.

767
01:01:47,980 --> 01:01:50,980
But this seems to be...

768
01:01:50,980 --> 01:01:55,980
Courser has also denied any wrongdoing here, and this seems to be yet another case where the defendant settles

769
01:01:55,980 --> 01:02:00,980
knowing that the settlement will be less than the cost of litigating it or the potential negative publicity

770
01:02:00,980 --> 01:02:03,980
if they are found guilty.

771
01:02:03,980 --> 01:02:07,980
I think this is lame still,

772
01:02:07,980 --> 01:02:10,980
and I think that while I mean, you know,

773
01:02:10,980 --> 01:02:13,980
frankly I don't have a ton of sympathy

774
01:02:13,980 --> 01:02:19,980
for publicly traded corporations that probably have plenty of money or whatever,

775
01:02:19,980 --> 01:02:23,980
in general Courser has kind of been bros, you know?

776
01:02:23,980 --> 01:02:27,980
I think they've overall stood behind their products

777
01:02:27,980 --> 01:02:33,980
and been pretty chill. Their products can be expensive sometimes,

778
01:02:33,980 --> 01:02:37,980
but I don't think that Courser has been particularly evil,

779
01:02:37,980 --> 01:02:40,980
so if there was someone that was going to kind of get picked on,

780
01:02:40,980 --> 01:02:44,980
I would much rather it be someone that's been, you know,

781
01:02:44,980 --> 01:02:48,980
kind of a bastard at some point or another.

782
01:02:48,980 --> 01:02:52,980
And I just don't think that Courser has earned,

783
01:02:52,980 --> 01:02:56,980
you know, a five and a half million dollar hit to their pocketbook

784
01:02:56,980 --> 01:03:01,980
for frankly something that people could have looked up on Wikipedia

785
01:03:01,980 --> 01:03:06,980
before they went and installed a component product in something.

786
01:03:06,980 --> 01:03:10,980
I don't like it.

787
01:03:10,980 --> 01:03:13,980
Dan, what's next?

788
01:03:13,980 --> 01:03:17,980
I'm not sure, because like I've got an extra sponsors thing

789
01:03:17,980 --> 01:03:20,980
that I'm supposed to throw somewhere and I don't know where to put it.

790
01:03:20,980 --> 01:03:23,980
They didn't wait, this wasn't planned out? I don't know.

791
01:03:23,980 --> 01:03:27,980
I thought it was planned out. Dude, it's Wanshow. I haven't figured it out yet.

792
01:03:27,980 --> 01:03:31,980
It's the redheaded stepchild of Linus Media Group media properties.

793
01:03:31,980 --> 01:03:35,980
Like it's, I've been doing other things.

794
01:03:35,980 --> 01:03:39,980
I wasn't even sure if you're going to make it tonight.

795
01:03:39,980 --> 01:03:42,980
Yeah, how close were you? Dude.

796
01:03:42,980 --> 01:03:46,980
Like did you just walk on the set before I got here? Like five, ten minutes, yeah.

797
01:03:46,980 --> 01:03:50,980
Oh, wow. Also, there was... The street could have been broken today?

798
01:03:50,980 --> 01:03:53,980
I should maybe tell this story right now. Dude, you could have been on a plane.

799
01:03:53,980 --> 01:03:57,980
No, you're going to tell it after we do one of the sponsors, I guess.

800
01:03:57,980 --> 01:04:00,980
Okay, the show's brought you by Proton Mail.

801
01:04:00,980 --> 01:04:05,980
Less sponsors than planes. They can help you if you accidentally sent your beloved cat pictures to a client

802
01:04:05,980 --> 01:04:10,980
once the email is opened, but they do have a ton of privacy and security features.

803
01:04:10,980 --> 01:04:15,980
We're talking tracker blocking, password protection, link click confirmation,

804
01:04:15,980 --> 01:04:20,980
advanced fishing protection, and more. And that's all in support of one of their main features.

805
01:04:20,980 --> 01:04:24,980
End-to-end encryption that is so secure that even Proton can't see what you're sending.

806
01:04:24,980 --> 01:04:28,980
So yeah, at least Mrs. Butterworth's identity is only kind of leaked.

807
01:04:28,980 --> 01:04:31,980
Is that a bunny cat? Oh, I thought it was an AI thing.

808
01:04:31,980 --> 01:04:34,980
I didn't look that closely at it. I was like, good lord.

809
01:04:34,980 --> 01:04:40,980
Science has gone too far. Anyway, Proton Mail is part of Proton's larger suite of products all focused on privacy

810
01:04:40,980 --> 01:04:43,980
and keeping your data visible only where you want it to be.

01:04:51,980 --> 01:04:57,980
The show's also brought to you by Vessie. Summer's coming to an end and while it's no longer always bright and sunny outside,

814
01:04:57,980 --> 01:05:02,980

815
01:05:02,980 --> 01:05:06,980
Whether you're going out for a quick errand or taking a day trip to get away from it for a bit,

816
01:05:06,980 --> 01:05:09,980
Vessie has got you with their dry sock guarantee.

817
01:05:09,980 --> 01:05:14,980
The secret sauce? A patented material called Dymatex that consists of four layers designed to transfer heat

818
01:05:14,980 --> 01:05:18,980
and sweat away from your feet while preventing water from seeping in.

819
01:05:18,980 --> 01:05:23,980
Their Weekend Sneakers are one of their most popular pairs and support a classic everyday design.

820
01:05:23,980 --> 01:05:28,980
They're easy to slip on and off and have a thicker cushioning midsole for more comfort and support.

821
01:05:28,980 --> 01:05:31,980
Backed by a one-year warranty with 30 days of return and exchanges

822

824
01:05:41,980 --> 01:05:44,980
There you go. There, Dan. It's done now. Yay!

825
01:05:44,980 --> 01:05:47,980
You can relax. Well, don't relax. We got a whole show to do for a while.

826
01:05:47,980 --> 01:05:53,980
Oh. Oh, okay. Well, I don't think we should do the CW announcements right after we did a sponsor spot.

827
01:05:53,980 --> 01:05:57,980
Well, that's... We really need to get through... Luke has to talk about his thing.

828
01:05:57,980 --> 01:06:00,980
Luke has to talk about his thing. Oh, well, then why'd you put the sign there?

829
01:06:00,980 --> 01:06:04,980
You should put a sign that says Luke talk about his thing. I don't have any more card paper.

830
01:06:04,980 --> 01:06:08,980
Oh, okay. We don't have the budget for that.

831
01:06:10,980 --> 01:06:12,980
You guys make me sound like such a cheap c***.

832
01:06:14,980 --> 01:06:16,980
Honestly, though, I'm glad he said it.

833
01:06:19,980 --> 01:06:21,980
I mean, no, you're not. We love you.

834
01:06:23,980 --> 01:06:25,980
You're so reasonable.

835
01:06:27,980 --> 01:06:30,980
When was the last time I turned down a purchase request?

836
01:06:30,980 --> 01:06:35,980
Name it. Maybe I was lying to cover my laziness.

837
01:06:35,980 --> 01:06:38,980
I literally buy fire trucks for the memes.

838
01:06:38,980 --> 01:06:42,980
Oh, hold on. Never mind. I take it all back. I have a giant stack right here.

839
01:06:46,980 --> 01:06:49,980
Sorry, we lost the budget to have a producer come right now.

840
01:06:50,980 --> 01:06:53,980
Okay. Do I talk about the trip? Sure.

841
01:06:53,980 --> 01:06:57,980
Did you fall? Yeah. No, actually never.

842
01:06:57,980 --> 01:07:00,980
And I climbed a mountain. Nice. Nice.

843
01:07:00,980 --> 01:07:04,980
Yeah. No, I was in Sofia, Bulgaria.

844
01:07:04,980 --> 01:07:07,980
Right. Oh, that's the kind of mountain you were climbing.

845
01:07:08,980 --> 01:07:11,980
Oh. Nah, he wasn't. He's loyal.

846
01:07:11,980 --> 01:07:14,980
Yeah. Oh, or not. You know what?

847
01:07:14,980 --> 01:07:17,980
Whatever happens with full consent from all parties, I don't judge.

848
01:07:18,980 --> 01:07:21,980
That would still be loyal. It's a deal. Sure.

849
01:07:21,980 --> 01:07:24,980
Yeah. Loyal and faithful, I guess, are not quite the same thing.

850
01:07:24,980 --> 01:07:25,980
Correct.

851
01:07:30,980 --> 01:07:33,980
Would it still be faithful if it was like a...

852
01:07:33,980 --> 01:07:37,980
Yes. Okay. No, I think faithful has a connotation of...

853
01:07:37,980 --> 01:07:40,980
Is it like specifically religious? Of... No, no, no, no, no.

854
01:07:40,980 --> 01:07:46,980
I think... Well, faithful has a connotation of 2-1 from my point of view.

855
01:07:46,980 --> 01:07:50,980
I was thinking faithful to wishes and understandings.

856
01:07:50,980 --> 01:07:53,980
Yeah, exactly. And loyal is just like...

857
01:07:53,980 --> 01:07:56,980
Nah, there's like 50 and other people.

858
01:07:56,980 --> 01:07:59,980
Completely regardless. And no, none of that happened anyways.

859
01:07:59,980 --> 01:08:02,980
Look, I wouldn't judge. I wouldn't judge.

860
01:08:02,980 --> 01:08:05,980
That's all. That's all I'm saying. Anyways, I was there.

861
01:08:05,980 --> 01:08:08,980
Yeah. Local time... So Luke was in Sofia.

862
01:08:08,980 --> 01:08:12,980
Yes. Yes. Local time for them.

863
01:08:12,980 --> 01:08:15,980
I left and I think it was 5 p.m. 5 p.m.

864
01:08:15,980 --> 01:08:19,980
Okay. So this is in Belgium, Hungary. Where was it again? Bulgaria.

865
01:08:19,980 --> 01:08:24,980
Bulgaria, right. And I had a pretty tight connection, but it would be fine.

866
01:08:24,980 --> 01:08:31,980
Yeah. Theoretically. As long as nothing got delayed, I would be landing back in Munich

867
01:08:31,980 --> 01:08:34,980
and then taking a train overnight up to Berlin

868
01:08:34,980 --> 01:08:37,980
and then flying back to Vancouver through a connection.

869
01:08:37,980 --> 01:08:40,980
Vancouver. I hardly know her. My God.

870
01:08:44,980 --> 01:08:47,980
It was not Whiz Air. It was Lufthansa.

871
01:08:47,980 --> 01:08:54,980
Yeah. Anyways, because of course it needed to be a fairly tight connection to the train.

872
01:08:54,980 --> 01:08:57,980
The plane, the flight got delayed because of course it did.

873
01:08:57,980 --> 01:09:00,980
Because of course it did. It was only delayed by 25 minutes.

874
01:09:00,980 --> 01:09:03,980
I still could make it. Yeah.

875
01:09:03,980 --> 01:09:07,980
It was going to be close. Yeah. Those can be the worst ones sometimes though

876
01:09:07,980 --> 01:09:10,980
because then they don't proactively reschedule you.

877
01:09:10,980 --> 01:09:13,980
Oh no, the plane and the train were booked separately.

878
01:09:13,980 --> 01:09:16,980
Nice. They didn't care at all. Nice.

879
01:09:16,980 --> 01:09:21,980
Because of course, I didn't even ask because there's no way they're going to care.

880
01:09:21,980 --> 01:09:26,980
So my whole thing like as we're landing is like, okay,

881
01:09:26,980 --> 01:09:31,980
it's close. We can definitely make it. I know the train station is extremely easy to navigate.

882
01:09:31,980 --> 01:09:34,980
So once I get to the train station from the airport.

883
01:09:34,980 --> 01:09:39,980
No problem. Not an issue. I can have like two minutes and I can run all the way to the train

884
01:09:39,980 --> 01:09:44,980
and get on the train. It's no problem. But I needed, I had check luggage.

885
01:09:44,980 --> 01:09:47,980
So I needed the check luggage to come off like pretty quick.

886
01:09:47,980 --> 01:09:51,980
Oh no. No. It always lasts when you're in a hurry.

887
01:09:51,980 --> 01:09:57,980
Guess how long? 20 minutes. Just from when we landed to the, to my bag,

888
01:09:57,980 --> 01:10:00,980
which by the way was in the first three bags to come off.

889
01:10:00,980 --> 01:10:04,980
Guess how long it took from my bag to come out from when the plane landed?

890
01:10:04,980 --> 01:10:07,980
You realize the only solution is gamer jet.

891
01:10:07,980 --> 01:10:12,980
55 minutes. What? It's the longest I've literally ever had to wait

892
01:10:12,980 --> 01:10:16,980
when there wasn't some type of like accident.

893
01:10:17,980 --> 01:10:20,980
There was, there was genuinely like hundreds of people waiting

894
01:10:20,980 --> 01:10:23,980
in the baggage area for two carousels.

895
01:10:23,980 --> 01:10:27,980
I have no idea what was happening. I don't know if they were like short staffed that day or something,

896
01:10:27,980 --> 01:10:30,980
but it took forever.

897
01:10:30,980 --> 01:10:33,980
It was crazy. So I definitely missed my train.

898
01:10:33,980 --> 01:10:37,980
I had like pre-booked the heck out of my ticket because you save a ton of money that way.

899
01:10:37,980 --> 01:10:40,980
Yeah. And I had a direct- He likes saving money.

900
01:10:40,980 --> 01:10:45,980
It's great. I had it all perfectly planned out. It's actually, I think, what gets him off?

901
01:10:45,980 --> 01:10:48,980
A little bit. Yeah. A little bit.

902
01:10:48,980 --> 01:10:53,980
So I had a direct train too, so I knew I could get a decent sleep on the train.

903
01:10:53,980 --> 01:10:58,980
Oh, no. So not only did I have to get a indirect train,

904
01:10:58,980 --> 01:11:02,980
so I had to get a transfer, but also I had to book now last minute.

905
01:11:02,980 --> 01:11:06,980
So I had to pay expensive train prices.

906
01:11:08,980 --> 01:11:14,980
So I couldn't like sleep properly. So anyways, so far we are one Uber,

907
01:11:14,980 --> 01:11:18,980
one flight in, end up figuring out that I can't take my nice one train.

908
01:11:18,980 --> 01:11:21,980
Now I have to take two trains to Berlin.

909
01:11:21,980 --> 01:11:24,980
So I get to the train station.

910
01:11:24,980 --> 01:11:29,980
I'm like, okay, this train is leaving in like, you know,

911
01:11:29,980 --> 01:11:32,980
in 45 minutes it's going to take me half an hour

912
01:11:32,980 --> 01:11:35,980
to get to the train station. I can make this new train now.

913
01:11:35,980 --> 01:11:38,980
It'll be fine. I get there. Okay.

914
01:11:38,980 --> 01:11:41,980
The train's delayed by like 15 minutes. That's fine though. Okay.

915
01:11:41,980 --> 01:11:44,980
The train's delayed by like half an hour. That's fine now. Get on the train.

916
01:11:44,980 --> 01:11:49,980
Oh, while the train is rolling, for some reason it gains another half an hour of delay.

917
01:11:49,980 --> 01:11:52,980
So it gets to the next train station an hour late.

918
01:11:52,980 --> 01:11:55,980
I'm all worried because I'm like, I'm going to miss the next train.

919
01:11:55,980 --> 01:11:59,980
I had an hour to get, I had an hour at the next train station to transfer.

920
01:11:59,980 --> 01:12:02,980
And now I have like four minutes or something.

921
01:12:02,980 --> 01:12:06,980
And I'm like, oh my God, if it's in a weird spot, I'm going to miss my next train.

922
01:12:06,980 --> 01:12:10,980
Nope, not a problem. Because the next train got delayed by an hour.

923
01:12:10,980 --> 01:12:15,980
What is happening? What is up with German, German transportation?

924
01:12:15,980 --> 01:12:18,980
I heard this as like a meme before I went there.

925
01:12:18,980 --> 01:12:21,980
Everything's just delayed all the time, as far as I can tell.

926
01:12:21,980 --> 01:12:25,980
While I was standing in the train station, getting off my train that was delayed for an hour,

927
01:12:25,980 --> 01:12:30,980
waiting for another train that was delayed for an hour, I heard other trains announcing that they were delayed.

928
01:12:30,980 --> 01:12:33,980
Like crazy. Oddly enough,

929
01:12:33,980 --> 01:12:36,980
the trains were extremely comfortable. Very nice.

930
01:12:36,980 --> 01:12:39,980
Right. Just never there on time. Right.

931
01:12:39,980 --> 01:12:43,980
Anyway, so that train gets delayed for an hour. So then I'm waiting for it anyways,

932
01:12:43,980 --> 01:12:46,980
despite thinking that I was going to miss it. Get into Berlin,

933
01:12:46,980 --> 01:12:50,980
take another train to get me from the like main train station

934
01:12:50,980 --> 01:12:54,980
in Berlin to the airport. Yeah. And then that flight takes me to Frankfurt,

935
01:12:54,980 --> 01:12:59,980
and then that flight takes me to Vancouver. And then I get picked up from the airport by Emma and brought here.

936
01:12:59,980 --> 01:13:02,980
So it was three cars, three trains,

937
01:13:02,980 --> 01:13:06,980
three planes, and like 30 plus hours.

938
01:13:06,980 --> 01:13:09,980
And I got to Wench a long time.

939
01:13:09,980 --> 01:13:12,980
By 10 minutes. By 10 minutes. Nice.

940
01:13:12,980 --> 01:13:16,980
Did I ever tell you about how I almost got stuck in LA

941
01:13:16,980 --> 01:13:19,980
when we went down there to collab with Kyle?

942
01:13:19,980 --> 01:13:23,980
I don't think so. Canada. Like didn't have enough air traffic controllers.

943
01:13:23,980 --> 01:13:26,980
Whoa. So a bunch of flights into IVR were delayed.

944
01:13:26,980 --> 01:13:29,980
Whoa. So my flight was canceled.

945
01:13:29,980 --> 01:13:34,980
And then I was, I like immediately went to the Air Canada desk

946
01:13:34,980 --> 01:13:38,980
where they told me there's nothing we can do.

947
01:13:38,980 --> 01:13:43,980
You can have a flight tomorrow, which I said was not good enough because my daughters were having

948
01:13:43,980 --> 01:13:46,980
seven teeth out the next morning between the two of them.

949
01:13:46,980 --> 01:13:49,980
And they were super stressed. I promised I'd be there.

950
01:13:49,980 --> 01:13:54,980
So they said, okay, well, I don't know, whatever. You can call the phone lines because they can do more than we can.

951
01:13:54,980 --> 01:13:57,980
So I called the phone line. They tell me, yeah, I've got a flight for you.

952
01:13:57,980 --> 01:14:00,980
I go, oh my God. Thank God.

953
01:14:00,980 --> 01:14:04,980
Okay. Vance. So the executive assistant here.

954
01:14:04,980 --> 01:14:08,980
Don't bother booking me that WestJet flight that you found.

955
01:14:08,980 --> 01:14:13,980
Air Canada has a flight for me. Then she goes, oh yeah, can you depart from this airport?

956
01:14:13,980 --> 01:14:19,980
I'm like, bro, I just told you I'm at LAX. That is literally three hours from here in LA traffic right now.

957
01:14:19,980 --> 01:14:22,980
And it's 45 minutes until the flight.

958
01:14:22,980 --> 01:14:25,980
How could you possibly think that I could make it? Okay, Vance book it.

959
01:14:25,980 --> 01:14:28,980
Vance goes, oh yeah, by the way, it went up like $400

960
01:14:28,980 --> 01:14:32,980
because everyone is rebooking. It's like going up by the minute.

961
01:14:32,980 --> 01:14:35,980
I'm like, oh my God, book it.

962
01:14:35,980 --> 01:14:40,980
And so he books it. I spend $1200 on a plane ticket from LA to Vancouver.

963
01:14:40,980 --> 01:14:46,980
And then the Air Canada rep goes, actually I've got one for you.

964
01:14:46,980 --> 01:14:50,980
And instead of being a connecting one through like Edmonton or something,

965
01:14:50,980 --> 01:14:54,980
it's a direct flight, but it's like later in the day. Then that flight gets delayed.

966
01:14:54,980 --> 01:15:02,980
So I'm sitting here at the airport. The one that Glenn, one of our shooters, got booked for was canceled again

967
01:15:02,980 --> 01:15:06,980
in the mid-afternoon and then my evening one left an hour late,

968
01:15:06,980 --> 01:15:11,980
but ultimately I did get here. I was surprised Yvonne by being an intruder in our house

969
01:15:11,980 --> 01:15:14,980
and coming into the bedroom. I told her I wasn't going to make it home that night.

970
01:15:14,980 --> 01:15:17,980
You just showed up. Oh my God.

971
01:15:17,980 --> 01:15:21,980
My flight's to Germany for this trip.

972
01:15:21,980 --> 01:15:25,980
I was talking to Sammy about it because I got my two tickets

973
01:15:25,980 --> 01:15:29,980
and my second one. So once we landed in,

974
01:15:31,980 --> 01:15:34,980
man, I don't even remember where our first landing was,

975
01:15:34,980 --> 01:15:38,980
but once we landed there, I didn't have a seat on the second plane.

976
01:15:38,980 --> 01:15:41,980
Oh my God. Oh right. They overbooked it.

977
01:15:41,980 --> 01:15:47,980
I almost didn't get on to the flight. So because she sent me my booking confirmation by email,

978
01:15:47,980 --> 01:15:50,980
so I thought I had a ticket.

979
01:15:50,980 --> 01:15:56,980
So when I got to the counter, I didn't tell the best part of the story. When I got to the counter, I didn't have a seat

980
01:15:56,980 --> 01:16:00,980
because I never checked in, because I was already there at the airport

981
01:16:00,980 --> 01:16:03,980
and I thought that my booking confirmation was a ticket.

982
01:16:03,980 --> 01:16:08,980
I didn't understand the difference. I'd never done that before. And so I showed them my booking confirmation.

983
01:16:08,980 --> 01:16:12,980
I had a barcode on it and everything. I don't know that I would have thought differently. They let me through security with it,

984
01:16:12,980 --> 01:16:16,980
even though I didn't have a ticket. So there was one more middle seat

985
01:16:16,980 --> 01:16:21,980
and they were able to put me in it. The first lady at the counter to get on the plane,

986
01:16:21,980 --> 01:16:25,980
I'd been at the airport for like nine and a half hours or 10 hours by this point.

987
01:16:25,980 --> 01:16:29,980
The first one was like, you don't have a ticket.

988
01:16:29,980 --> 01:16:32,980
And I was like, what do you mean I don't have a ticket? I'm standing here at the gate, aren't I?

989
01:16:32,980 --> 01:16:37,980
How did I get here? But then I realized, oh, they never actually scanned my ticket.

990
01:16:37,980 --> 01:16:41,980
They scanned my passport and they looked at what I had,

991
01:16:41,980 --> 01:16:44,980
but they never actually scanned my ticket.

992
01:16:44,980 --> 01:16:47,980
So I was never checked in. That's wild.

993
01:16:47,980 --> 01:16:52,980
And then the second one was like, move. And like checked for me and was like, okay.

994
01:16:52,980 --> 01:16:55,980
No, I got one. Here's your ticket. And I was like, thank you.

995
01:16:55,980 --> 01:16:58,980
This actually means the world pretty great.

996
01:16:58,980 --> 01:17:02,980
I actually kind of hate traveling. Like that was so stressful.

997
01:17:02,980 --> 01:17:05,980
I like traveling. I actually really do.

998
01:17:05,980 --> 01:17:07,980
I don't like...

999
01:17:11,980 --> 01:17:15,980
I really, really hated rebooking those train tickets.

1000
01:17:15,980 --> 01:17:20,980
That pissed me off. Needing to like pay last minute prices.

1001
01:17:20,980 --> 01:17:23,980
WestJet wouldn't refund it. Yeah.

1002
01:17:23,980 --> 01:17:28,980
They have a zero exceptions. Within 24 hours, I think it is no refunds.

1003
01:17:28,980 --> 01:17:31,980
Even if you just booked it five minutes ago, they're like, no.

1004
01:17:31,980 --> 01:17:35,980
And I was like, bro, if you unbook it now, you could literally just sell it to someone else

1005
01:17:35,980 --> 01:17:38,980
who also desperately needs to get home. They'll do that anyways.

1006
01:17:38,980 --> 01:17:42,980
F***ers. They'll just overbook their plane.

1007
01:17:42,980 --> 01:17:46,980
Yeah. The thing that saved me getting to Berlin...

1008
01:17:46,980 --> 01:17:49,980
$500. ...was that I checked in so early.

1009
01:17:49,980 --> 01:17:53,980
And for some reason they just didn't assign me a seat, but I had checked in really early.

1010
01:17:53,980 --> 01:17:56,980
So that when it came down to like the seat lottery thing,

1011
01:17:56,980 --> 01:18:00,980
I just automatically won. Because I had checked in first by like a lot.

1012
01:18:00,980 --> 01:18:04,980
Did I ever tell you I almost missed my play when I went to Edinburgh?

1013
01:18:04,980 --> 01:18:08,980
No. Man, when I went to see Joseph.

1014
01:18:08,980 --> 01:18:11,980
Yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah, we almost missed our plane.

1015
01:18:11,980 --> 01:18:15,980
We flew into Heathrow, and then our plan was to have a connecting flight to Edinburgh,

1016
01:18:15,980 --> 01:18:20,980
and then our connecting flight was cancelled. And the new flight they assigned us was going to be there too late

1017
01:18:20,980 --> 01:18:25,980
to see the play. Oh my God. I was only there to see Joseph in the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

1018
01:18:25,980 --> 01:18:29,980
with Donnie Osman as the pharaoh. And if I wasn't going to see that play,

1019
01:18:29,980 --> 01:18:34,980
then why was I even there? So we are standing there in the airport.

1020
01:18:34,980 --> 01:18:37,980
Like, can you rebook us? I'm like, no, no, we got nothing.

1021
01:18:37,980 --> 01:18:41,980
Like, okay. Okay, so what are our other options?

1022
01:18:41,980 --> 01:18:44,980
We looked into chartering a private plane.

1023
01:18:44,980 --> 01:18:47,980
Because like, I literally was only...

1024
01:18:47,980 --> 01:18:50,980
You already flew across the world. I was only in Europe.

1025
01:18:50,980 --> 01:18:53,980
And I didn't even actually know this at the time, but it was the last performance.

1026
01:18:53,980 --> 01:18:57,980
So it was like... I thought you did know that. I didn't know that before we sat down

1027
01:18:57,980 --> 01:19:00,980
and they said this is the last performance. So I wouldn't have even...

1028
01:19:00,980 --> 01:19:03,980
I could have even like, not known, thinking I could go a day later anyway.

1029
01:19:03,980 --> 01:19:06,980
We actually... So turns out charging is really expensive

1030
01:19:06,980 --> 01:19:09,980
in case you were wondering. Yeah, very expensive.

1031
01:19:09,980 --> 01:19:15,980
I remember from that one scrapyard war. So we found a train.

1032
01:19:15,980 --> 01:19:21,980
Oh yeah, okay. And we were like, okay, we can do the train,

1033
01:19:21,980 --> 01:19:26,980
which is only like a couple hundred dollars compared to thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars

1034
01:19:26,980 --> 01:19:30,980
for the plane, which... What was incredible though was, dude,

1035
01:19:30,980 --> 01:19:34,980
I got to say like, the airplane charter business, damn,

1036
01:19:34,980 --> 01:19:37,980
do they ever have like customer service figured out?

1037
01:19:37,980 --> 01:19:40,980
I emailed. I was like, damn it. They only have an email.

1038
01:19:40,980 --> 01:19:44,980
They don't have a phone line. I emailed. They emailed me back in like three minutes.

1039
01:19:44,980 --> 01:19:47,980
And they were like, here's our phone number. Let's talk.

1040
01:19:47,980 --> 01:19:51,980
And they were like, yeah, we can have you... We can have you taken off within like the next 90 minutes

1041
01:19:51,980 --> 01:19:55,980
or something like that. I was like, you just like found one that's nearby

1042
01:19:55,980 --> 01:19:58,980
and yeah, we got you. I was like, wow, that's crazy anyway.

1043
01:19:58,980 --> 01:20:03,980
So yeah, the plane... So the train ended up running like two hours

1044
01:20:03,980 --> 01:20:07,980
and five minutes late, which it turns out means you get your fare for free.

1045
01:20:07,980 --> 01:20:11,980
So my story worked out. So maybe that's why I ultimately didn't tell the story.

1046
01:20:11,980 --> 01:20:14,980
That makes sense. Somebody in full plane chat pointed out,

1047
01:20:14,980 --> 01:20:17,980
in Germany, if your train is 20 minutes late, your ticket becomes a flex ticket.

1048
01:20:17,980 --> 01:20:20,980
So you can take any train if you're choosing. That is cool.

1049
01:20:20,980 --> 01:20:24,980
The problem for me was the nice pre-booked train that I had

1050
01:20:24,980 --> 01:20:27,980
was the one that wasn't late. The plane was late.

1051
01:20:27,980 --> 01:20:32,980
So I didn't make that train. And then I had to book other trains.

1052
01:20:32,980 --> 01:20:35,980
And those ones were late, but I had to take them anyways.

1053
01:20:35,980 --> 01:20:38,980
It didn't matter if I took them later. If I didn't take those specific trains,

1054
01:20:38,980 --> 01:20:41,980
I would not make it to Berlin on time to take my flight out.

1055
01:20:41,980 --> 01:20:44,980
A couple of people also said, why didn't you just drive?

1056
01:20:44,980 --> 01:20:49,980
I did look into that. Dmitri actually suggested that I just drive.

1057
01:20:49,980 --> 01:20:53,980
Really? But I went and looked at renting a car.

1058
01:20:53,980 --> 01:20:58,980
And the rental car place had a 1.1 or 1.2 star rating.

1059
01:20:58,980 --> 01:21:01,980
And all of the reviews were about how they tried

1060
01:21:01,980 --> 01:21:04,980
to scam them for damage.

1061
01:21:04,980 --> 01:21:07,980
I've been fighting a double charge for a car rental

1062
01:21:07,980 --> 01:21:13,980
for a year with somebody's comment. And I was just like, I'm going to take the train.

1063
01:21:13,980 --> 01:21:16,980
Yeah, Dmitri's reviews of Bulgaria in general.

1064
01:21:16,980 --> 01:21:19,980
No, no, no. This was Germany. Oh, this was Germany. Yeah.

1065
01:21:19,980 --> 01:21:23,980
Oh, okay. Yeah. Because I know he had trouble getting review samples sent to him

1066
01:21:23,980 --> 01:21:27,980
there and stuff. Oh. Stuff would just get disappeared.

1067
01:21:27,980 --> 01:21:30,980
Stuff would happen. I'm not going to say specifically because I don't remember

1068
01:21:30,980 --> 01:21:34,980
the details, but he was just like, yeah, sometimes it could be a real challenge to get review samples

1069
01:21:34,980 --> 01:21:42,980
sent there. Yeah. I actually had, I didn't take a lot of public transport

1070
01:21:42,980 --> 01:21:45,980
in Bulgaria, but like the Bulgarian airport was

1071
01:21:45,980 --> 01:21:49,980
completely fine in my experience. No direct planes from Bulgaria.

1072
01:21:49,980 --> 01:21:55,980
Well, my flights, I travel in a really whack way where I do

1073
01:21:55,980 --> 01:22:01,980
a lot of my travel planning like once I'm already there. So my flights to Canada and back were out of Berlin.

1074
01:22:03,980 --> 01:22:06,980
And then the easiest way for me to get to Bulgaria at the time

1075
01:22:06,980 --> 01:22:11,980
was through Munich, not Berlin. So when I'm saying I'm flying back to Germany and then taking

1076
01:22:11,980 --> 01:22:14,980
a train up to Berlin, I'm flying back to Munich.

1077
01:22:14,980 --> 01:22:19,980
Yeah. So it was actually like pretty far from Berlin.

1078
01:22:19,980 --> 01:22:22,980
So I mean, there probably was maybe not direct planes,

1079
01:22:22,980 --> 01:22:28,980
but easier ones, but my flight was already through Berlin.

1080
01:22:28,980 --> 01:22:31,980
And if I don't make that one, that was the one that the company

1081
01:22:31,980 --> 01:22:35,980
had booked for me. So if I don't make that one, I just have to pay for my own

1082
01:22:35,980 --> 01:22:38,980
entire ticket myself because it would have been entirely my fault.

1083
01:22:38,980 --> 01:22:42,980
So like I'd rather not do that. So I'm going to try to make that one.

1084
01:22:42,980 --> 01:22:45,980
I wish I journaled more of my crazy travel stories because

1085
01:22:45,980 --> 01:22:49,980
they're always like. I took a bunch of photos of like, I have some really funny

1086
01:22:49,980 --> 01:22:56,980
ones. Where's my phone? Like the time that I was literally by like 10 seconds on time

1087
01:22:56,980 --> 01:22:58,980
for my plane back from Japan.

1088
01:22:59,980 --> 01:23:04,980
Like they looked at the supervisor because it was literally like the minute of the cutoff.

1089
01:23:04,980 --> 01:23:08,980
And he's like, gives a nod, but like it was bad.

1090
01:23:08,980 --> 01:23:12,980
And it was because I was like 42 cents short of the fare for

1091
01:23:12,980 --> 01:23:15,980
my train into the airport.

1092
01:23:15,980 --> 01:23:19,980
And the lady like wouldn't let me go. And I was like, oh my God, I don't care.

1093
01:23:19,980 --> 01:23:25,980
I don't have any cash. I just said, I need to make my plane, but it's Japan.

1094
01:23:26,980 --> 01:23:29,980
There ain't a lot of flexibility on that.

1095
01:23:29,980 --> 01:23:32,980
So I like this photo because it's like, it's supposed to show

1096
01:23:32,980 --> 01:23:37,980
up. By the way, it was my fault entirely. It was only because I accidentally left all of my luggage on

1097
01:23:37,980 --> 01:23:40,980
my previous train and I had to go to the lost and found I had

1098
01:23:40,980 --> 01:23:43,980
to catch a later train and I like picked the wrong one.

1099
01:23:43,980 --> 01:23:46,980
I like picked the one that left earlier rather than the express one anyway.

1100
01:23:46,980 --> 01:23:49,980
I've done that before. Oh yeah.

1101
01:23:49,980 --> 01:23:52,980
So it's like, hey, it's supposed to show up at like 13

1102
01:23:52,980 --> 01:23:55,980
past midnight. It's going to show up at 105.

1103
01:23:55,980 --> 01:23:58,980
It is 108. Oh my God. How does that work?

1104
01:23:58,980 --> 01:24:01,980
Yeah, that's good math. That's German math. Yeah.

1105
01:24:01,980 --> 01:24:04,980
I noticed a couple of times that it's like the delayed time

1106
01:24:04,980 --> 01:24:12,980
will be a time that we've already passed. Also, we were rolling slow because we're like near the train

1107
01:24:12,980 --> 01:24:17,980
station. The guy said over the intercom, we'll get there at 111,

1108
01:24:17,980 --> 01:24:20,980
which is later than either of those times if you noticed.

1109
01:24:20,980 --> 01:24:25,980
And then 111 comes and goes and we're still rolling and it

1110
01:24:25,980 --> 01:24:29,980
like blew my mind that we're within like slow rolling distance

1111
01:24:29,980 --> 01:24:32,980
of a train station and they still can't get the time right.

1112
01:24:32,980 --> 01:24:35,980
Like we ended up getting there like, I think two or three

1113
01:24:35,980 --> 01:24:38,980
minutes later than the guy on the intercom said, despite

1114
01:24:38,980 --> 01:24:43,980
being within like jogging distance of the station.

1115
01:24:43,980 --> 01:24:46,980
So here's my question. I don't understand. Here's my question.

1116
01:24:46,980 --> 01:24:55,980
Okay. These guys are world renowned for watches.

1117
01:24:55,980 --> 01:24:59,980
Is this like a tariff issue? Is there some kind of border control?

1118
01:24:59,980 --> 01:25:03,980
I don't know what it is. I'm just asking questions.

1119
01:25:03,980 --> 01:25:07,980
The trains in Germany. I'm just asking questions. The trains in Germany were the most comfortable trains I've

1120
01:25:07,980 --> 01:25:12,980
been on in my life, especially the last one that I took.

1121
01:25:12,980 --> 01:25:16,980
It had like leather seats, like super nice.

1122
01:25:16,980 --> 01:25:21,980
And I was in like the cheapest, super saver fare area

1123
01:25:21,980 --> 01:25:24,980
and they had leather, like very nice leather seats.

1124
01:25:24,980 --> 01:25:28,980
Nice. And we're super late.

1125
01:25:28,980 --> 01:25:34,980
I don't get it. German trains are banned by this way.

1126
01:25:34,980 --> 01:25:37,980
Swiss are not part of the EU.

1127
01:25:37,980 --> 01:25:40,980
All right. That's interesting. Okay.

1128
01:25:40,980 --> 01:25:44,980
Dan, what are we supposed to be doing? Oh, do that?

1129
01:25:44,980 --> 01:25:47,980
Yeah. Okay. Cool.

1130
01:25:47,980 --> 01:25:51,980
We have some weekend deals for you.

1131
01:25:51,980 --> 01:25:56,980
Anyway, still need that backpack upgrade for back to school?

1132
01:25:56,980 --> 01:26:00,980
Well, lucky you because we're offering a great deal on the

1133
01:26:00,980 --> 01:26:06,980
commuter backpack. If you add both a commuter backpack and a tech sack to your cart

1134
01:26:06,980 --> 01:26:14,980
right now at lttstore.com, you will get the tech sack for free.

1135
01:26:14,980 --> 01:26:18,980
That's right, my friends. Free tech sack with commuter backpack.

1136
01:26:18,980 --> 01:26:22,980
That's pretty awesome. Add both to cart for discount to apply.

1137
01:26:22,980 --> 01:26:29,980
Just like that. That simple. Now be prepared for the flood of merge messages, Dan.

1138
01:26:29,980 --> 01:26:32,980
Prepare yourself. That's not all.

1139
01:26:32,980 --> 01:26:35,980
Hey, you need something to fill that tech sack up with, right?

1140
01:26:35,980 --> 01:26:39,980
Well, fortunately, when you add a precision end cap set and a

1141
01:26:39,980 --> 01:26:44,980
precision screwdriver or precision screwdriver with bitcase, you

1142
01:26:44,980 --> 01:26:47,980
will get the precision end cap set for free.

1143
01:26:47,980 --> 01:26:51,980
And if you're not familiar, the end cap set is...

1144
01:26:51,980 --> 01:26:56,980
Wait, where are tools?

1145
01:26:56,980 --> 01:27:01,980
Okay. Can we make a quick note? Under gear tools should probably be one of our main...

1146
01:27:01,980 --> 01:27:04,980
Oh, oh, screwdriver. Okay. Yeah, we should fix that.

1147
01:27:04,980 --> 01:27:09,980
Okay. Screwdrivers over here. The end cap set is...

1148
01:27:09,980 --> 01:27:17,980
Precision end cap set right here. It's a convex concave and then alternate color of the flat top and it

1149
01:27:17,980 --> 01:27:22,980
just pops onto the precision screwdriver if you prefer a different shape.

1150
01:27:22,980 --> 01:27:27,980
That is free with your order of either just the driver or the driver

1151
01:27:27,980 --> 01:27:32,980
and the bit set. Last but not least, you can still save on magnetic cable management

1152
01:27:32,980 --> 01:27:36,980
this week. You can get packs of individual components and you can get 10% off

1153
01:27:36,980 --> 01:27:40,980
if you buy two, 15% off if you buy three, 20% off if you buy four,

1154
01:27:40,980 --> 01:27:45,980
and 25% off if you buy five or more. That includes all arches, power bar keys, power brick holders,

1155
01:27:45,980 --> 01:27:50,980
and cable tie holders. If you are not familiar with our magnetic cable management,

1156
01:27:50,980 --> 01:27:54,980
it, of course, looks a little something like this.

1157
01:27:54,980 --> 01:27:57,980
Magnetic arches, power bar holders.

1158
01:27:57,980 --> 01:28:00,980
Those have the little key shape thing.

1159
01:28:00,980 --> 01:28:04,980
These ones are super cool. They came to me in a dream and inspired the whole lineup.

1160
01:28:04,980 --> 01:28:07,980
So they go into the little keyhole thing and then they turn your power bar magnetic.

1161
01:28:07,980 --> 01:28:12,980
It's freaking awesome and here's time in talking about it.

1162
01:28:12,980 --> 01:28:16,980
Cool. Shop everything at LTTstore.com.

1163
01:28:16,980 --> 01:28:19,980
Also, we have a very important question to ask you guys.

1164
01:28:19,980 --> 01:28:23,980
So just take a break from your shopping spree that you're on right now

1165
01:28:23,980 --> 01:28:27,980
because I need to know out of these options,

1166
01:28:27,980 --> 01:28:32,980
what is your favorite totally non-infringing

1167
01:28:36,980 --> 01:28:40,980
transparent, not transparent screwdriver related color.

1168
01:28:40,980 --> 01:28:44,980
Which of these colors is your favorite color?

1169
01:28:44,980 --> 01:28:47,980
Concord purple, dude. I need to not. Everyone's in.

1170
01:28:47,980 --> 01:28:50,980
So I just, well, they shouldn't say the purple.

1171
01:28:50,980 --> 01:28:54,980
They should go to this poll and then they should vote on it.

1172
01:28:54,980 --> 01:28:59,980
It's on YouTube. It's on YouTube. So Dan, if you want to drop them some links,

1173
01:28:59,980 --> 01:29:03,980
people seem confused by the instructions. This is not voting.

1174
01:29:03,980 --> 01:29:07,980
Right here, what you're looking at right now is not voting.

1175
01:29:07,980 --> 01:29:11,980
This place. This is voting. The following people don't even know what that website is.

1176
01:29:11,980 --> 01:29:14,980
I'm doing it. You're spamming too much and can't see it.

1177
01:29:14,980 --> 01:29:19,980
They don't know what that website is because it doesn't work properly in Firefox.

1178
01:29:19,980 --> 01:29:22,980
So what use do they have for it? Stop.

1179
01:29:22,980 --> 01:29:25,980
You're just sending it.

1180
01:29:26,980 --> 01:29:31,980
Oh my goodness. My links, they do nothing. It really is amazing that they can even find their credit cards

1181
01:29:31,980 --> 01:29:34,980
to pay for Floatplane, isn't it? I love you guys.

1182
01:29:34,980 --> 01:29:38,980
Their mom takes care of it. You can't follow instructions sometimes.

1183
01:29:38,980 --> 01:29:41,980
Yeah. Stop.

1184
01:29:41,980 --> 01:29:45,980
Go there. Instruction unclear. Sausage stuck in the door hole.

1185
01:29:45,980 --> 01:29:48,980
Wow. An unrelated cylindrical object.

1186
01:29:48,980 --> 01:29:52,980
Okay. Cool. Let's maybe do another topic or not.

1187
01:29:52,980 --> 01:29:58,980
Let me do a bit of an update. So I got linked to this

1188
01:29:58,980 --> 01:30:02,980
by multiple people in the Floatplane chat,

1189
01:30:02,980 --> 01:30:09,980
crappy PCB and dark guy to both linked to this,

1190
01:30:09,980 --> 01:30:13,980
which is hilarious. Someone else in full plane chat said that apparently something

1191
01:30:13,980 --> 01:30:17,980
it has to do with something about the like German car lobby

1192
01:30:17,980 --> 01:30:20,980
messing with public transport or something. What?

1193
01:30:20,980 --> 01:30:23,980
Who knows? I don't know. I don't know.

1194
01:30:23,980 --> 01:30:28,980
I also wanted to talk about actually wait.

1195
01:30:28,980 --> 01:30:33,980
No, I think I'm supposed to talk about that later. I'll save. I'll save that topic for another time.

1196
01:30:33,980 --> 01:30:37,980
Okay. I think I got.

1197
01:30:37,980 --> 01:30:41,980
I think there's a pizza conspiracy going on,

1198
01:30:41,980 --> 01:30:44,980
but we can talk about it later. A different pizza conspiracy.

1199
01:30:44,980 --> 01:30:47,980
Yeah. I was going to say because. What?

1200
01:30:47,980 --> 01:30:50,980
Very different one. Disrespect. No.

1201
01:30:50,980 --> 01:30:53,980
No. No. One.

1202
01:30:53,980 --> 01:30:56,980
Yeah. A much more serious one. I'm kidding.

1203
01:30:56,980 --> 01:30:59,980
I'm kidding. I'm kidding. A lot less serious.

1204
01:30:59,980 --> 01:31:02,980
Oh my God. You're stressing me out, Luke.

1205
01:31:02,980 --> 01:31:07,980
You're stressing me out. You're making me stressed. But I think I'm supposed to like talk about it later

1206
01:31:07,980 --> 01:31:10,980
or something for some reason. Yes, I am. Okay.

1207
01:31:10,980 --> 01:31:13,980
Cool. Anyways, I think I am supposed to talk about how to send a merge message.

1208
01:31:13,980 --> 01:31:17,980
If you guys want to interact with the show, the best way to do it is to send a merge message.

1209
01:31:17,980 --> 01:31:20,980
These go to producer Dan who will put them down there

1210
01:31:20,980 --> 01:31:24,980
or respond to them or curate them for me and Luke

1211
01:31:24,980 --> 01:31:28,980
to respond to. All you need to do to send a merge message is add something,

1212
01:31:28,980 --> 01:31:32,980
anything to your cart. Go ahead and fill out a merge message.

1213
01:31:32,980 --> 01:31:35,980
Probably do it a little bit better than this. Nice. You can pick a color.

1214
01:31:35,980 --> 01:31:38,980
That would be fine though. You can do that. You can do that.

1215
01:31:38,980 --> 01:31:41,980
It won't get curated for sure. No. But whatever.

1216
01:31:41,980 --> 01:31:44,980
It will show up on screen. Yeah, it will. So that's something.

1217
01:31:44,980 --> 01:31:49,980
And then you go ahead and check out and once you have paid for your order, your merge message will go to producer Dan

1218
01:31:49,980 --> 01:31:54,980
who will then do something along the lines of what he's about to do, which is maybe to read it for us.

1219
01:31:54,980 --> 01:31:57,980
That's right. That's what I do. Nice.

1220
01:31:57,980 --> 01:32:00,980
Very good. Hey, DLL question. He does.

1221
01:32:00,980 --> 01:32:04,980
For Linus. Sometimes. Is there going to be a new winter jacket this year?

1222
01:32:04,980 --> 01:32:07,980
Oh, hold on. I might have it in my car. What?

1223
01:32:07,980 --> 01:32:10,980
So really do another one for Luke. Oh.

1224
01:32:10,980 --> 01:32:18,980
Luke. Luke. I can do a topic if you need.

1225
01:32:18,980 --> 01:32:27,980
Oh, okay. This might work for you as well.

1226
01:32:27,980 --> 01:32:31,980
Sure. We can ask Linus about the second half when he returns.

1227
01:32:31,980 --> 01:32:34,980
How do you feel about so many people having parasocial

1228
01:32:34,980 --> 01:32:39,980
relationships with you and your subordinates? I know you more than you will ever know me.

1229
01:32:39,980 --> 01:32:44,980
Also, have you ever owned a pet rat or a mischief?

1230
01:32:44,980 --> 01:32:47,980
Or a mischief?

1231
01:32:48,980 --> 01:32:51,980
Mischief, copy, paste animal.

1232
01:32:51,980 --> 01:32:55,980
What is that?

1233
01:32:55,980 --> 01:32:58,980
Is that just like any rodent? I don't know.

1234
01:32:58,980 --> 01:33:01,980
A mouse? Hamster. Hamster.

1235
01:33:01,980 --> 01:33:04,980
Is that like a genus? No. I've never had any of those.

1236
01:33:04,980 --> 01:33:07,980
I've had dogs and birds. I have not had a...

1237
01:33:07,980 --> 01:33:11,980
Oh, and fish. I haven't had a super wide range of animals.

1238
01:33:11,980 --> 01:33:16,980
A group of rats is called a mischief.

1239
01:33:16,980 --> 01:33:19,980
Wow. Ha-ha. Learning.

1240
01:33:19,980 --> 01:33:22,980
Not a king, I guess. Thank you, Wikipedia. Oh, that's...

1241
01:33:24,980 --> 01:33:26,980
Jesus. Christ.

1242
01:33:28,980 --> 01:33:31,980
Did you bleep those? I did.

1243
01:33:32,980 --> 01:33:35,980
Okay. It doesn't bleep on my end.

1244
01:33:35,980 --> 01:33:39,980
You can see the button. Man, what was the question even again?

1245
01:33:39,980 --> 01:33:43,980
Have you ever owned a mischief? No, but wasn't there one before that?

1246
01:33:43,980 --> 01:33:50,980
You are drunk. Linus, how do you feel about so many people having parasocial relationships with you

1247
01:33:50,980 --> 01:33:54,980
and your subordinates? I know you more than you will ever know me.

1248
01:33:54,980 --> 01:34:00,980
Also, have you ever owned a pet rat? Or as we now know, a group of pet rats is called a mischief.

1249
01:34:00,980 --> 01:34:04,980
Oh, it's this. I think it's weird that people think this is a new problem.

1250
01:34:04,980 --> 01:34:08,980
That's my hot take. Oh, the parasocial relationships of pet rats.

1251
01:34:08,980 --> 01:34:13,980
People only really talk about it now, but like people were hyper obsessed with like

1252
01:34:13,980 --> 01:34:18,980
Princess Diana, the Beatles, like way hyper obsessed.

1253
01:34:18,980 --> 01:34:27,980
I would argue more than people are now. I think the difference now is that the people that we have these parasocial relationships

1254
01:34:27,980 --> 01:34:34,980
with seem so much more accessible and like real people than the old celebrities were.

1255
01:34:34,980 --> 01:34:38,980
Well, they actually can't afford the amount of separation that the old celebrities had.

1256
01:34:38,980 --> 01:34:41,980
Well, yeah.

1257
01:34:41,980 --> 01:34:46,980
Realistically, I'm not that hard to talk to.

1258
01:34:46,980 --> 01:34:49,980
It's not that hard to get my email address.

1259
01:34:49,980 --> 01:34:55,980
I won't respond to you because I just get too many emails, especially every time I acknowledge

1260
01:34:55,980 --> 01:34:59,980
how easy it is to find my email address. So there's no point.

1261
01:34:59,980 --> 01:35:03,980
And if you do email me, especially at those times, I will certainly filter so that I block

1262
01:35:03,980 --> 01:35:07,980
probably not only you, but the entire domain that you're emailing from if you work at a

1263
01:35:07,980 --> 01:35:10,980
business or something like that, because I just like I can't have people bothering me

1264
01:35:10,980 --> 01:35:20,980
and wasting my time. But in terms of like how accessible sort of internet celebrities are, they're super

1265
01:35:20,980 --> 01:35:25,980
accessible and not only that, but they're accessible like emotionally because they

1266
01:35:25,980 --> 01:35:30,980
have something in common with you other than that they make music you like to listen to

1267
01:35:30,980 --> 01:35:35,980
or they sit on a throne that has oppressed your people for hundreds of years.

1268
01:35:35,980 --> 01:35:42,980
That sort of thing. I've had someone come up to me and like apologize for having a parasocial relationship and then

1269
01:35:42,980 --> 01:35:47,980
like jokingly mentioning some things that happened on WAN as a reference for them having

1270
01:35:47,980 --> 01:35:52,980
a parasocial relationship. And I'm like, man, like we make the content so that you watch it.

1271
01:35:52,980 --> 01:35:56,980
Yeah. Watching WAN Show is not being weird in parasocial.

1272
01:35:56,980 --> 01:36:01,980
Yeah. There's a difference between like knowing some stuff that happens on WAN Show or like,

1273
01:36:01,980 --> 01:36:05,980
you know, sometimes they reference like, oh yeah, but I know things that happened in your life.

1274
01:36:05,980 --> 01:36:09,980
Like yeah, cause I talked about them on WAN Show. Like that's okay.

1275
01:36:09,980 --> 01:36:13,980
This is fine. Like there's a difference between like watching the show.

1276
01:36:13,980 --> 01:36:20,980
Between that and walking up to me at the airport and sitting down next to me and just like uninvited

1277
01:36:20,980 --> 01:36:26,980
when I'm clearly in the middle of something like talking to me without going away eventually.

1278
01:36:26,980 --> 01:36:30,980
To be clear. As if you're friends. Walk up and grab a selfie.

1279
01:36:30,980 --> 01:36:33,980
For sure. Totally fine. Yeah.

1280
01:36:33,980 --> 01:36:39,980
Happy to do that. And but like, that's the key.

1281
01:36:39,980 --> 01:36:42,980
Don't assume that we're friends. Yeah.

1282
01:36:42,980 --> 01:36:45,980
And that I'm like, I'm with my family or whatever else.

1283
01:36:45,980 --> 01:36:48,980
And even if I'm with my family, you know what? Grab a selfie.

1284
01:36:48,980 --> 01:36:55,980
So my new, my new policy, I have a new policy for that. Like I have a new system for that that actually makes it like pretty not disruptive.

1285
01:36:55,980 --> 01:37:00,980
So I'll be like, I'll be like walking in a mall and I'm like with my family or I was going to say friends.

1286
01:37:00,980 --> 01:37:03,980
No, I'm with my family. I don't have friends. But your friend.

1287
01:37:03,980 --> 01:37:06,980
But we don't walk around in the mall together. No.

1288
01:37:06,980 --> 01:37:12,980
So I'm walking in the mall and with my family and someone's like, can I get a selfie?

1289
01:37:12,980 --> 01:37:15,980
I'll be like, sure. Keep up. Yo, I've done that.

1290
01:37:15,980 --> 01:37:18,980
I've done that for sure. Dude, it's great. It's actually fantastic.

1291
01:37:18,980 --> 01:37:24,980
Because they get their selfie. I am not separated from my family and everyone's happy.

1292
01:37:24,980 --> 01:37:27,980
Hot take. The selfies often end up looking pretty cool too.

1293
01:37:27,980 --> 01:37:32,980
Yeah. I don't know why. Just like on the roll is like pretty neat.

1294
01:37:32,980 --> 01:37:36,980
I just want to say I had fun chatting with you briefly at DEF CON.

1295
01:37:36,980 --> 01:37:39,980
Yeah. I mean, that was probably totally fine.

1296
01:37:39,980 --> 01:37:45,980
So that's a different context too though. Like if you walk up and you want to chat with me a little bit at like a whale then or LTX.

1297
01:37:45,980 --> 01:37:48,980
I was there purely on vacation. Oh, okay.

1298
01:37:48,980 --> 01:37:51,980
That's different then. But it was still totally fine. I mean, it's still, you're at a con.

1299
01:37:51,980 --> 01:37:54,980
For sure. I think you're kind of walking it. Yeah.

1300
01:37:54,980 --> 01:37:57,980
I didn't mind at all. I'm sure to be honest. Okay.

1301
01:37:57,980 --> 01:38:01,980
Yeah. So context is everything.

1302
01:38:01,980 --> 01:38:06,980
But anyway, back to the question, the parasocial relationships.

1303
01:38:06,980 --> 01:38:15,980
I think the fact that the relationship forms over something we have in common makes it

1304
01:38:15,980 --> 01:38:25,980
in some ways stronger and feel more, but also not like, like strong, like bizarre, like

1305
01:38:25,980 --> 01:38:30,300
John Hinckley or whatever, like, you know, shooting Reagan over, you know, what's the

1306
01:38:30,300 --> 01:38:35,860
name in taxi driver, but like, but like almost like less strong, like more natural because

1307
01:38:35,860 --> 01:38:41,180
it just kind of happens over time from, from extended exposure and like having common interests.

1308
01:38:41,180 --> 01:38:45,260
Like I, I don't, I don't know, man.

1309
01:38:45,260 --> 01:38:51,100
I, I don't think I'll ever be used to it is, is the bottom line.

1310
01:38:51,100 --> 01:38:54,300
Oddly enough, I think I kind of am. It doesn't really bother me anymore.

1311
01:38:54,300 --> 01:39:02,220
Well, I didn't say bother me. I never really bothered me. It definitely bothered me for a long, well, even just, it can be socially really useful

1312
01:39:02,220 --> 01:39:08,020
sometimes. Getting recognized in public, like, like made me deeply uncomfortable at the beginning.

1313
01:39:08,020 --> 01:39:14,660
Now I'm used to that, but I wouldn't say, but I, I think I'm not used to the one to

1314
01:39:14,660 --> 01:39:18,260
many relationship and I don't think I can ever get used to it.

1315
01:39:18,260 --> 01:39:21,260
I don't think we're wired for it. Sure.

1316
01:39:21,260 --> 01:39:25,060
I, I, I've two funny interactions I'd had at PAX this year.

1317
01:39:25,060 --> 01:39:29,900
One, somebody took a selfie with me and then like 10 minutes later walked by and was like,

1318
01:39:29,900 --> 01:39:34,260
Oh, by the way, can you come back like right here in like two and a half hours to take

1319
01:39:34,260 --> 01:39:38,100
a photo with my friend? And I was like, no.

1320
01:39:38,100 --> 01:39:42,660
And I think that was one of the only times I've ever like, let the annoyance like really

1321
01:39:42,660 --> 01:39:49,420
go into my response. So I was like walking with my brother and like one of my high school friends and he like

1322
01:39:49,420 --> 01:39:54,780
asked me to come back. I was just like, no, like, what, what do you ask?

1323
01:39:54,780 --> 01:40:01,580
Not a chance. Like, I'm sorry if you're watching, but like, no, dude, no, no way.

1324
01:40:01,580 --> 01:40:08,540
Can you pull something really similar with me once? Like, like, can I, if I come back, like, can I go get someone and come back and will you

1325
01:40:08,540 --> 01:40:11,540
still be here? And I was like, no. Yeah.

1326
01:40:11,540 --> 01:40:18,740
I think I was at LTX and like, I was like at a particular spot and I was like, no, I'm

1327
01:40:18,740 --> 01:40:23,340
going to be, I'm going to be all over the place. Like I, there's literally thousands of people here.

1328
01:40:23,340 --> 01:40:29,540
I don't think that's necessarily as bad. Well, it was, it was, it was, they didn't know where their friend was.

1329
01:40:29,540 --> 01:40:34,020
Oh, well, yeah. Okay. They didn't know how long I was going to be standing there.

1330
01:40:34,020 --> 01:40:39,540
Are you going to be around for like five, 10 more minutes? No, it was like, I will be back at some indeterminate amount of time.

1331
01:40:39,540 --> 01:40:42,540
Stay here. Yeah, that sucks. Bro, I can't do that.

1332
01:40:42,540 --> 01:40:46,300
There's no way. The other one though is where I'm saying that like, I've actually find they're actually

1333
01:40:46,300 --> 01:40:49,900
pretty often like helpful is very funny interaction.

1334
01:40:49,900 --> 01:40:55,060
There was a, there was a YouTuber that I have enjoyed watching it for amount at PAX who

1335
01:40:55,060 --> 01:41:01,260
had a little booth and they were filming these five minute podcast things, which I didn't

1336
01:41:01,260 --> 01:41:07,140
really know what that was about, but it said, ask me about five minute podcasts.

1337
01:41:07,140 --> 01:41:12,100
So I just walked up to the booth thing and was like, Hey, love your stuff, shook his

1338
01:41:12,100 --> 01:41:15,340
hand and was like, that's it. I just wanted to say I like your stuff.

1339
01:41:15,340 --> 01:41:18,740
And then I was like, before I leave, what's this five minute podcast thing?

1340
01:41:18,740 --> 01:41:23,940
And he's like, okay, let's film one. And I was like, all right, sure.

1341
01:41:23,940 --> 01:41:26,980
So we just, I like just stood in front of the camera and filmed this like thing with

1342
01:41:26,980 --> 01:41:29,980
them. And he's like, all right, cool. Bye.

1343
01:41:30,340 --> 01:41:34,820
Two different people like said hi and wanted selfies. And I was like, that was the best timing ever.

1344
01:41:34,820 --> 01:41:36,700
Cause now he's like, who the hell is this guy?

1345
01:41:38,500 --> 01:41:41,620
That's great. And I hope it comes out at some point.

1346
01:41:41,620 --> 01:41:45,860
So I'd like to see it, but I've had times when I'm at a meeting with a potential sponsor

1347
01:41:45,860 --> 01:41:49,580
at a trade show and someone will come up to my table and ask to take a selfie.

1348
01:41:49,580 --> 01:41:56,580
And they're like, huge, huge. It's amazing how the timing can be so good, especially in the early days, it was amazing

1349
01:41:56,580 --> 01:42:04,300
how one person walking up during the meeting meant so much more than 300,000 subscribers.

1350
01:42:04,700 --> 01:42:07,780
Yep. Which is, it's, it's, it's how palpable it is.

1351
01:42:07,980 --> 01:42:11,300
Yeah. It was, uh, it was fantastic when dating.

1352
01:42:15,500 --> 01:42:20,100
It was wild when dating. Every time I went out, I was like, please.

1353
01:42:22,660 --> 01:42:24,780
And then it would happen and it was so good.

1354
01:42:27,580 --> 01:42:30,380
You could at least pretend not to enjoy it that much.

1355
01:42:30,780 --> 01:42:35,580
It was great. Yeah. Okay. Fair enough. It was great. You got to play it off as if you're not like, oh, thank God.

1356
01:42:37,180 --> 01:42:37,780
It is what it is.

1357
01:42:41,180 --> 01:42:43,580
All right. So fame and chicken.

1358
01:42:44,180 --> 01:42:47,380
Yeah, dude. That should be the name of your memoir.

1359
01:42:54,780 --> 01:42:56,780
Yeah. Did you ever have anyone think it was fake?

1360
01:42:57,780 --> 01:43:02,380
Like you paid someone to do that? No, I don't think so. Well, none that said anything.

1361
01:43:02,380 --> 01:43:05,580
Oh, okay. I mean, maybe, but I don't think so. Okay.

1362
01:43:05,580 --> 01:43:11,380
So I'm ready to, I'm ready to acknowledge the outer wear that I am wearing right now.

1363
01:43:11,380 --> 01:43:20,780
Yeah. Cause it's starting to activate. So what's cool about this particular jacket is that it uses a thermochromic material.

1364
01:43:21,180 --> 01:43:27,980
It's not like the warmest layer ever. It's kind of like a lightly puffy jacket that's meant to be kind of layered on,

1365
01:43:28,780 --> 01:43:37,180
but it isn't, it is an outer layer. So it's kind of like a like a fall, like a late fall, early spring, or like a layered

1366
01:43:37,180 --> 01:43:44,380
up winter, depending on your climate. But what's cool about it is that if for whatever reason you find yourself indoors

1367
01:43:44,380 --> 01:43:49,780
or somewhere warmer or there's a spot, oh, wait, yeah, let's go this way.

1368
01:43:49,780 --> 01:43:52,580
Or there's a spot on the jacket where it kind of folds in on itself.

1369
01:43:52,980 --> 01:44:04,780
It's color changing. So cool. So it ends up with this kind of kind of like flame like, like kind of fiery sort of look

1370
01:44:04,780 --> 01:44:11,180
to it that as soon as I saw the material, I was like, okay, I don't know.

1371
01:44:11,180 --> 01:44:17,880
I think it's really cool. And, and obviously it invites, you know, I was going to say playing with it because

1372
01:44:17,880 --> 01:44:21,580
your skin temperature is enough to activate it. My hands are really cold.

1373
01:44:21,780 --> 01:44:25,580
Oh, yeah. Do you have warm hands? Yeah. All right, hit me. Right there. Right there, buddy.

1374
01:44:26,380 --> 01:44:28,880
How long does it take? Is that good? Yeah, it should be fine.

1375
01:44:29,480 --> 01:44:32,980
Yeah, there it is. He's always such a warm boy.

1376
01:44:37,780 --> 01:44:43,680
I was going to say, yeah, decent tactical choice to, to like if you, if you have a

1377
01:44:43,680 --> 01:44:48,180
girlfriend and you want them to be, give excuses to hug you all the time.

1378
01:44:48,180 --> 01:44:51,380
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you'd get the ARM wrap around the back.

1379
01:44:51,380 --> 01:44:58,580
Yep. Oh yeah, a hundred percent. Yeah. So it's, it's one of those things that some people really like and some people

1380
01:44:58,580 --> 01:45:05,580
will not, but I saw the material and I was like, okay, I, I, I need us to do

1381
01:45:05,580 --> 01:45:08,580
something with this. So we did a jacket. I think it's pretty cool.

1382
01:45:08,580 --> 01:45:09,680
Yeah. Very cool.

1383
01:45:11,780 --> 01:45:15,080
Um, all right. How expensive is it?

1384
01:45:15,380 --> 01:45:18,280
I don't know. All right. Well, cool.

1385
01:45:18,380 --> 01:45:21,180
Answer that question. All right. What are we supposed to be doing?

1386
01:45:22,580 --> 01:45:27,080
Ah, yes. The real self-driving was the friends we made along the way.

1387
01:45:27,580 --> 01:45:34,080
Um, sources electric.co. Tesla has changed the definition of full self-driving.

1388
01:45:34,080 --> 01:45:41,380
You see, FSD, um, is not fully unsupervised autonomous driving.

1389
01:45:41,580 --> 01:45:46,180
Go to sleep in the driver's seat, wake up at your destination like we said it

1390
01:45:46,180 --> 01:45:52,680
would be, um, when we charged as much as $15,000 for it.

1391
01:45:53,580 --> 01:45:56,480
Um, now it has a new definition.

1392
01:45:56,880 --> 01:46:02,680
Uh, FSD now means an advanced driving system, regardless of the

1393
01:46:02,680 --> 01:46:06,580
marketing name used that is capable of performing transportation tasks that

1394
01:46:06,580 --> 01:46:12,980
provide autonomous or similar functionality under specified driving conditions.

1395
01:46:13,780 --> 01:46:19,180
Uh, the author opines that the current version of FSD, which requires constant

1396
01:46:19,180 --> 01:46:22,480
supervision by the driver, could easily fit that description.

1397
01:46:22,880 --> 01:46:29,180
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, the automaker has updated their language

1398
01:46:29,180 --> 01:46:34,880
on their website now selling only full self-driving supervised and not the

1399
01:46:34,880 --> 01:46:38,280
previous full self-driving capability FSD.

1400
01:46:38,580 --> 01:46:42,080
So we actually have an image here from this is from electric.

1401
01:46:42,080 --> 01:46:45,920
full self-driving supervised $8,000.

1402
01:46:49,160 --> 01:46:54,800
I don't like that. Beginning in 2016, the company had claimed,

1403
01:46:54,800 --> 01:46:58,760
had claimed past tense now because they have clearly changed their messaging,

1404
01:46:58,760 --> 01:47:01,840
had claimed that all its vehicles in production

1405
01:47:01,840 --> 01:47:06,120
would be capable of unsupervised self-driving.

1406
01:47:06,120 --> 01:47:09,280
Since 2018, CEO Elon Musk has claimed

1407
01:47:09,280 --> 01:47:12,280
that this year is the year only to reach the end of each year

1408
01:47:12,280 --> 01:47:16,360
with the promise unfulfilled. Tesla previously confirmed

1409
01:47:16,360 --> 01:47:20,440
that vehicles produced between 2016 and 2023 do not have the proper hardware

1410
01:47:20,440 --> 01:47:23,320
to deliver the promised unsupervised self-driving.

1411
01:47:24,480 --> 01:47:28,680
Their CEO has discussed upgrading the computers in these vehicles, but there doesn't appear to be

1412
01:47:28,680 --> 01:47:33,440
even a concept of a plan for implementing this upgrade.

1413
01:47:33,440 --> 01:47:38,960
Very cool. I remember having an infuriating conversation

1414
01:47:38,960 --> 01:47:43,960
with finance bro at a party once.

1415
01:47:44,840 --> 01:47:50,320
I know this story. That basically boiled down to,

1416
01:47:50,320 --> 01:47:55,880
I cover tech for a living and Tesla has a serious problem with their tech.

1417
01:47:55,880 --> 01:47:59,280
And the counter argument was,

1418
01:47:59,280 --> 01:48:03,360
lots of super smart people have invested, so there's no way they won't deliver on this.

1419
01:48:03,360 --> 01:48:06,600
It must be good. And I tried to, I said,

1420
01:48:06,680 --> 01:48:11,600
well, do you want to see the tweet where Elon admitted that the cars they've been selling

1421
01:48:11,600 --> 01:48:15,800
for all these years can't do it, didn't want to see it.

1422
01:48:15,800 --> 01:48:19,720
And I was told that I just didn't understand finance

1423
01:48:19,720 --> 01:48:23,200
and that the details of the tech didn't matter.

1424
01:48:23,200 --> 01:48:29,480
And I was like, right, but people invest in this company

1425
01:48:29,480 --> 01:48:35,040
because of the tech, right? Like that's what theoretically people,

1426
01:48:35,120 --> 01:48:38,400
as far as I can tell, Tesla has gone full meme stock

1427
01:48:38,400 --> 01:48:41,560
at this point. The stock market wall, almost the whole stock market has.

1428
01:48:41,560 --> 01:48:45,400
I wouldn't say almost all. I'd say like, there's a lot of high profile examples

1429
01:48:45,400 --> 01:48:48,480
these days, but not almost all. But a lot of the high profile examples

1430
01:48:48,480 --> 01:48:51,480
is where a lot of the money in the stock market is sitting currently.

1431
01:48:51,480 --> 01:48:52,320
Yeah.

1432
01:48:56,120 --> 01:48:59,480
Ginger nutted in Floatplane chat says here's the... Ginger nutted?

1433
01:48:59,480 --> 01:49:03,160
Yeah. I like it. I thought that was worth reading out loud.

1434
01:49:05,760 --> 01:49:10,800
Oh, no, that's not actually the tweet

1435
01:49:10,800 --> 01:49:14,120
that I was referring to. There was one where he far more explicitly admitted

1436
01:49:14,120 --> 01:49:18,200
that FSD, whatever the hardware level was

1437
01:49:18,200 --> 01:49:21,280
that was up until a couple of years ago, three, I think,

1438
01:49:21,280 --> 01:49:24,720
was just never going to be capable of it.

1439
01:49:24,720 --> 01:49:29,880
And it was already clear, like way before that, that it wouldn't be capable because they were already using

1440
01:49:29,880 --> 01:49:36,080
both of what were supposed to be the redundant computers in order to achieve full level four or level five.

1441
01:49:36,080 --> 01:49:39,720
You have to have redundancy, but they like didn't because they were using the whole thing already.

1442
01:49:39,720 --> 01:49:43,400
So people had known for ages that it was just never going to be able to do it.

1443
01:49:43,400 --> 01:49:47,920
It just took them a really long time to admit it. I just, I don't know, man.

1444
01:49:47,920 --> 01:49:52,920
People, I often get accused of being an Elon hater,

1445
01:49:52,920 --> 01:49:58,200
but what it really boils down to is I don't respect people who lie to me constantly

1446
01:49:58,200 --> 01:50:02,760
over and over and over again and just expect me to keep believing them

1447
01:50:03,800 --> 01:50:06,880
because I feel that that shows disrespect to me

1448
01:50:06,880 --> 01:50:12,080
and therefore I cannot respect that. If you make a good faith effort to follow through

1449
01:50:12,080 --> 01:50:18,000
on the things that you tell me, or if you have the self-awareness to apologize

1450
01:50:18,000 --> 01:50:24,320
and make good, then that makes a big difference. But if you just lie over and over and over

1451
01:50:24,320 --> 01:50:27,720
and over and over and over again,

1452
01:50:27,720 --> 01:50:31,880
then I just, I don't, I don't respect that. I can't respect that.

1453
01:50:31,880 --> 01:50:36,560
So there you go. It's kind of, it's kind of that simple.

1454
01:50:36,560 --> 01:50:41,160
I remember having a conversation with a family member

1455
01:50:41,160 --> 01:50:46,160
about a particular politician. And I basically just went, well, you know,

1456
01:50:46,160 --> 01:50:48,440
here's an example of a bulb-faced lie.

1457
01:50:49,560 --> 01:50:53,480
You know, why did they say that? It's demonstrably false. And he went, I don't know.

1458
01:50:53,480 --> 01:50:58,280
And I went, well, yeah, I can tell you why. It's because he doesn't respect you.

1459
01:50:58,280 --> 01:51:01,440
He doesn't think you are smart enough or detail-oriented enough

1460
01:51:01,440 --> 01:51:06,000
or conscientious enough to care.

1461
01:51:06,000 --> 01:51:10,080
And that's not respectful.

1462
01:51:10,080 --> 01:51:16,000
And that was kind of a turning point, which was very, which was a major, major relief.

1463
01:51:16,000 --> 01:51:19,040
And to be clear, I intentionally kept that vague.

1464
01:51:19,040 --> 01:51:22,560
I think that could apply to pretty much any politician.

1465
01:51:23,920 --> 01:51:28,920
There's just degrees of brazen untruthfulness.

1466
01:51:30,920 --> 01:51:36,360
Extremely off topic, but I want to bring it up before I forget. I saw Jaden in chat and this reminded me.

1467
01:51:36,360 --> 01:51:39,680
He sent me a message after last WAN Show,

1468
01:51:39,680 --> 01:51:43,480
where he said, regarding WAN Show discussion, it is possible to assign different icons

1469
01:51:43,480 --> 01:51:46,680
to notifications, Android only,

1470
01:51:46,680 --> 01:51:49,680
and WhatsApp already shows profile image and notifications.

1471
01:51:51,440 --> 01:51:56,040
You mentioned having, I think it was different icons for channels.

1472
01:51:56,040 --> 01:51:59,280
So we could do it. We could do it Android only, apparently.

1473
01:51:59,760 --> 01:52:03,120
I don't know that we're gonna do that right now. No, don't bother then. I think it'd be better to just have feature parody

1474
01:52:03,120 --> 01:52:06,400
and wait for Apple to catch up. I mean, they eventually do.

1475
01:52:06,400 --> 01:52:09,960
Sure, sure. Or maybe they just won't. I don't know.

1476
01:52:09,960 --> 01:52:13,320
I hadn't noticed it before. He mentioned, I think he,

1477
01:52:13,320 --> 01:52:16,880
oh wow, I already forgot I just put it down. I am pretty tired from all the traveling.

1478
01:52:18,160 --> 01:52:21,320
Yeah, WhatsApp already shows profile image. So WhatsApp already does it,

1479
01:52:21,320 --> 01:52:26,680
but I don't use WhatsApp very much. So I didn't see it there. And not a lot of other apps that I use

1480
01:52:26,680 --> 01:52:30,960
seem to use this feature. And I suspect it's because of

1481
01:52:30,960 --> 01:52:34,440
just having identical apps on both platforms, but I don't know.

1482
01:52:36,080 --> 01:52:39,800
So yeah, apparently that is a thing. I just, I think, I don't remember exactly how I worded it,

1483
01:52:39,800 --> 01:52:43,000
but I think I said that I didn't think it was. So apparently it is.

1484
01:52:43,000 --> 01:52:49,000
What is the consequence gonna be for this full self-driving, full advertising?

1485
01:52:50,520 --> 01:52:54,760
Is, are the regulators going to be empowered

1486
01:52:54,800 --> 01:52:58,640
and are they going to have the stones to follow through?

1487
01:52:58,640 --> 01:53:01,880
Is it gonna come down to individual owners

1488
01:53:01,880 --> 01:53:04,920
to class action this? Like, how is this gonna play out?

1489
01:53:04,920 --> 01:53:08,520
Because I think you could make the argument

1490
01:53:08,520 --> 01:53:14,280
that a substantial portion, like if Corsair had to pay five and a half million dollars

1491
01:53:14,280 --> 01:53:17,960
because some people didn't have XMP on by default

1492
01:53:17,960 --> 01:53:23,800
in their gaming computer, right? Like we're talking a hundred, $300 purchase, right?

1493
01:53:23,840 --> 01:53:27,160
Some DDR4 memory. Yeah.

1494
01:53:27,160 --> 01:53:30,960
How much will Tesla owe when people figure out

1495
01:53:30,960 --> 01:53:34,680
that the decade of cars they sold

1496
01:53:34,680 --> 01:53:41,440
are not and will never be capable of fully autonomous driving as they were advertised to be?

1497
01:53:41,440 --> 01:53:45,160
Meanwhile, and this is gonna be tough to see amongst all the ads,

1498
01:53:45,160 --> 01:53:47,200
but there is a headline in the middle there.

1499
01:53:48,960 --> 01:53:52,680
Did you hear about this? Yeah, so I think this is a really,

1500
01:53:52,680 --> 01:53:54,640
honestly, I actually,

1501
01:53:56,200 --> 01:53:59,280
okay, I'm gonna have kind of a controversial take on this one.

1502
01:53:59,280 --> 01:54:01,440
I think that this is,

1503
01:54:02,480 --> 01:54:07,480
see, I have in the past attributed to 4D chess,

1504
01:54:08,360 --> 01:54:11,560
what actually turned out to be phenomenal stupidity.

1505
01:54:11,560 --> 01:54:15,960
Right. So I hate making the same mistake more than once.

1506
01:54:15,960 --> 01:54:20,520
However, this one smells like a bit of 4D chess to me

1507
01:54:21,520 --> 01:54:28,040
because the conditions for that pay package are that the company will have to reach a valuation

1508
01:54:28,040 --> 01:54:32,600
that simply isn't going to happen. Optimus is already dead in the water

1509
01:54:32,600 --> 01:54:35,960
and everybody knows it. It says specifically they have to ship

1510
01:54:35,960 --> 01:54:41,840
like an incredible amount of Optimus. Yeah, they ship like 300,000 Optimuses a month

1511
01:54:41,840 --> 01:54:46,720
or something like that. True. What were the numbers? Get me the Optimus numbers here.

1512
01:54:46,720 --> 01:54:53,320
So Optimus is their robot that like is already just a piece of dog compared

1513
01:54:53,320 --> 01:54:57,840
to like unitary models for a few grand and that they think they're gonna sell for $200

1514
01:54:57,840 --> 01:55:01,680
to $300,000 each. Like, to who? What are you even talking about?

1515
01:55:01,680 --> 01:55:06,200
I don't even think that article said, I'm looking for another one. Optimus is dead in the water with what logic?

1516
01:55:06,200 --> 01:55:11,800
With the logic of the head of the program who just left and was like, peace.

1517
01:55:12,760 --> 01:55:17,160
Optimus is dead in the water because they are so far behind.

1518
01:55:17,160 --> 01:55:20,760
They can't figure out hands. They can't figure out the AI side.

1519
01:55:20,760 --> 01:55:23,800
They can't figure out mobility. So many of the demos that you've seen

1520
01:55:23,800 --> 01:55:29,400
have just been remote telepresence effectively of like a human just operating it remotely.

1521
01:55:29,400 --> 01:55:32,060
Guys, Optimus is smoke and mirrors.

1522
01:55:33,580 --> 01:55:36,800
So yeah, here we go. Here we go.

1523
01:55:38,120 --> 01:55:41,120
One million robot deliveries

1524
01:55:43,440 --> 01:55:48,080
in a one million robot taxes and opera. Yeah, like this stuff's not happening.

1525
01:55:49,880 --> 01:55:55,240
So yeah. So basically, this one smells to me

1526
01:55:55,240 --> 01:55:59,520
like it's just supposed to grab headlines with a giant big number

1527
01:55:59,520 --> 01:56:05,880
and it's supposed to help pump the stock because oh, well, if this pay package exists,

1528
01:56:05,880 --> 01:56:12,400
then there's this path to this. But I mean, obviously none of that is happening.

1529
01:56:12,400 --> 01:56:15,940
There's no way that you could be on enough substances

1530
01:56:15,940 --> 01:56:23,800
to think that you're gonna sell that many of a product that literally you would have to have a 1000% tariff on it

1531
01:56:23,800 --> 01:56:27,680
to make Optimus at the price that they have sort of floated.

1532
01:56:27,680 --> 01:56:31,080
You'd have to have a 1000% tariff on it to make it competitive with something

1533
01:56:31,080 --> 01:56:33,080
that Unitree is shipping like right now.

1534
01:56:35,560 --> 01:56:40,640
I do know that a counter argument is that this is what was said about his first pay package.

1535
01:56:40,640 --> 01:56:47,480
Sure. That was when the company was poised for immense growth.

1536
01:56:47,520 --> 01:56:52,280
And had a lot of positivity surrounding it and stuff. Show me the immense growth that were poised for.

1537
01:56:52,280 --> 01:56:57,680
I mean, in the US, sales are tanking in Europe. In the US, the incentives are going away.

1538
01:56:57,680 --> 01:57:01,640
There was a robot at EFA at a booth

1539
01:57:01,640 --> 01:57:08,840
where it was a humanoid robot except it had two like airplane cables

1540
01:57:08,840 --> 01:57:12,440
hanging it from the ceiling because it couldn't stand on its own.

1541
01:57:12,440 --> 01:57:16,120
And it was like leaning over or hanging off these cables.

1542
01:57:16,120 --> 01:57:20,000
And it was sorting laundry, but like one out of three times

1543
01:57:20,000 --> 01:57:24,800
that it tried to grab a piece of clothing, it would just like fail.

1544
01:57:24,800 --> 01:57:28,880
And all it was doing was like sorting colors and whites for washing.

1545
01:57:28,880 --> 01:57:33,880
And it was so incredibly slow. And then it got like three quarters of the way through

1546
01:57:33,880 --> 01:57:37,840
and it just could not grab them anymore because I guess it was too far down

1547
01:57:37,840 --> 01:57:41,320
and it couldn't like bend because it was held by these cables.

1548
01:57:41,320 --> 01:57:45,240
So they had to re pour the clothes back into the middle one so that it could keep going.

1549
01:57:45,280 --> 01:57:49,440
It was so brutal to watch. It was so raw.

1550
01:57:49,440 --> 01:57:55,880
Who was this? I don't remember the brand. It's in the the Floatplane walkthrough with Sammy and I.

1551
01:57:55,880 --> 01:58:00,280
Breakdown says I'd pay good money for a real laundry folding machine. You better believe it, me too.

1552
01:58:00,280 --> 01:58:04,320
Oh, it wasn't even folding. It was just sorting. Oh, wow. It was just picking it up out of one basket

1553
01:58:04,320 --> 01:58:09,040
and putting it into another. So actually useless then. It was really bad, yeah.

1554
01:58:09,040 --> 01:58:09,880
Nice.

1555
01:58:16,160 --> 01:58:20,120
I feel like this is something completely different.

1556
01:58:20,120 --> 01:58:26,320
This is a cooking robot at EFA 25 that appears to be doing basically nothing useful.

1557
01:58:27,280 --> 01:58:30,920
Yeah, no, it wasn't a cooking one. Very cool.

1558
01:58:30,920 --> 01:58:33,800
It's in the float. We could like kind of show that bit maybe.

1559
01:58:35,920 --> 01:58:40,600
Bring it up. So circuit king 98 says LLMs, not LLM specifically

1560
01:58:40,600 --> 01:58:44,000
but I think you mean AI. We'll unlock the humanoid robot market.

1561
01:58:44,000 --> 01:58:47,360
It's so early people said the same thing about full self-driving eight years ago.

1562
01:58:47,360 --> 01:58:51,640
Okay, so there's a couple of things we got to kind of talk about here.

1563
01:58:51,640 --> 01:58:55,400
The full self-driving car. Yeah, that's still not done.

1564
01:58:55,400 --> 01:59:00,000
So that's one critical thing. The other issue is that I'm not saying

1565
01:59:00,000 --> 01:59:06,200
the humanoid robot market isn't coming. I'm saying it's not coming at $200 to $300,000 a unit.

1566
01:59:06,200 --> 01:59:09,800
That's the problem. Humanoid robots are gonna be enormous.

1567
01:59:09,800 --> 01:59:13,160
Yeah, it's gonna be huge. I guarantee you it's gonna be freaking huge.

1568
01:59:13,160 --> 01:59:18,980
Huge. The issue is that specifically Optimus is so far behind

1569
01:59:20,180 --> 01:59:23,940
and way, way too expensive. That's the problem.

1570
01:59:23,940 --> 01:59:29,940
I'm talking specifically about Optimus. Nothing that they've shown me gives me any Optimus-ism

1571
01:59:29,940 --> 01:59:34,660
about how that program is going to proceed. And I can be wrong.

1572
01:59:34,660 --> 01:59:39,200
It's happened before. Optimus could end up being 10 times better

1573
01:59:39,200 --> 01:59:43,620
than what's coming out of other robotics companies. I haven't even talked about Boston Dynamics at this point.

1574
01:59:43,620 --> 01:59:48,620
Like Optimus is so far behind right now.

1575
01:59:49,020 --> 01:59:52,620
And they could magically catch up. And that is a possibility.

1576
01:59:52,620 --> 01:59:55,660
And if I'm wrong, I will say I was wrong.

1577
01:59:55,660 --> 02:00:00,100
Optimus is the prime robot.

1578
02:00:00,100 --> 02:00:04,040
I just, I don't see a path to it right now. That's all. Okay.

1579
02:00:04,040 --> 02:00:05,540
So this is from,

1580
02:00:08,220 --> 02:00:11,180
this is from Luke and Sammy to the EFA show floor.

1581
02:00:11,540 --> 02:00:18,700
I'm not going to bother get Dan to get the audio going or anything, but you can see here when he zooms in.

1582
02:00:18,980 --> 02:00:23,140
So this is a little bit blurry cause we're like zoomed in over the crowd,

1583
02:00:23,140 --> 02:00:26,740
but you can see a hook here and then a wire that goes up

1584
02:00:27,680 --> 02:00:30,840
and behind the play button, there's another hook.

1585
02:00:30,840 --> 02:00:34,780
There we go. You can see on both of his shoulders, there's hooks and then wires going up.

1586
02:00:34,780 --> 02:00:38,860
He's being held up by the airplane cables to the ceiling.

1587
02:00:38,860 --> 02:00:41,940
So it can't stand on its own. There's three baskets here on the bottom.

1588
02:00:41,940 --> 02:00:45,900
You can see the one in the middle has actually like a bunch of clothes in it and then one on each side.

1589
02:00:45,900 --> 02:00:52,180
The basket on from our perspective, the right is for like plain.

1590
02:00:53,580 --> 02:00:55,940
I would say you're probably closer to center. My God.

1591
02:00:57,140 --> 02:01:01,060
From our perspective, the right, the, that basket is for plain whites.

1592
02:01:01,060 --> 02:01:05,060
And then the basket on the left is for colored fabrics.

1593
02:01:05,060 --> 02:01:09,380
Oh my God. The middle is the unsorted. Hamnetic says that's robot at Bernice.

1594
02:01:11,180 --> 02:01:15,340
Look how slow it is.

1595
02:01:15,340 --> 02:01:19,580
Oh man. What is the possible use of this?

1596
02:01:19,580 --> 02:01:22,900
I mean, I get it. The point is to show progress. And then look, fail.

1597
02:01:24,740 --> 02:01:28,500
And try again. Wait, this is in real time. This is not slow mo.

1598
02:01:28,500 --> 02:01:33,820
This is in real time. It actually footage skipped there for a second. I think Sammy cut some of it out because it was so boring.

1599
02:01:33,820 --> 02:01:37,460
Oh yeah. And then this one, it has like a hard time getting it out of the basket.

1600
02:01:37,700 --> 02:01:42,100
So it takes this whole time and okay.

1601
02:01:42,100 --> 02:01:45,700
It finally got it. Then it goes again. It's so rough.

1602
02:01:45,700 --> 02:01:48,820
It takes forever. Oh man.

1603
02:01:51,820 --> 02:01:56,940
The company is neuro robotics. Yeah, I don't know. And you know, maybe they have something else that's good.

1604
02:01:56,940 --> 02:02:01,700
I don't know. Whatever. It's just that was, that was like tough to watch.

1605
02:02:01,700 --> 02:02:04,940
I would not have brought that to a show to show it off.

1606
02:02:04,940 --> 02:02:08,020
Personally. I mean, it depends where you started.

1607
02:02:08,020 --> 02:02:12,700
Maybe, maybe, you know, maybe six months ago, it couldn't pick up the clothes at all.

1608
02:02:12,700 --> 02:02:14,660
Maybe this is progress. Sure.

1609
02:02:16,260 --> 02:02:21,260
And, you know, I'm not super informed on robotics right now.

1610
02:02:22,340 --> 02:02:26,940
Maybe that is good for some reason. Like maybe it was doing something somehow

1611
02:02:26,940 --> 02:02:30,180
that was good for some reason. And you wanted investors or something.

1612
02:02:30,180 --> 02:02:33,500
Cause IFA is a weird show. There's a really wide range.

1613
02:02:33,500 --> 02:02:36,720
Yeah, I've never been actually. Yeah. This is your first time?

1614
02:02:36,720 --> 02:02:42,740
This is my first time. There was genuinely just like general public

1615
02:02:42,740 --> 02:02:48,580
wanted to go see stuff for funsies people there. There was people that were like definitely buying

1616
02:02:48,580 --> 02:02:52,340
for like European stores that needed stock for things.

1617
02:02:53,900 --> 02:02:57,020
So, you know, maybe there was investors there as well. I don't know.

1618
02:02:57,020 --> 02:03:01,060
Avon Fox in Floatplane chat says it's actually pretty astounding that it can adapt

1619
02:03:01,060 --> 02:03:04,100
to something like fabric. As a tech demo, it's amazing.

1620
02:03:04,100 --> 02:03:07,300
As a product, it's obviously not. Yeah. And let's see, okay.

1621
02:03:07,300 --> 02:03:11,660
So fair enough. And maybe they're looking for investors. They're looking to hire people or whatever. I don't know what the objective was.

1622
02:03:11,660 --> 02:03:16,340
I'm used to going to CES where they're trying to sell

1623
02:03:16,340 --> 02:03:20,020
or get in the media. Right. So this might have actually been a different objective

1624
02:03:20,020 --> 02:03:23,420
and I'm just not used to it. So, you know what? I'm not trying to go after the company.

1625
02:03:23,420 --> 02:03:27,020
I just, oof, that's all.

1626
02:03:27,020 --> 02:03:30,580
As a product right now, which it isn't in its defense.

1627
02:03:30,580 --> 02:03:33,640
Forget IFA, more like Oofa. Yeah, Oofa.

1628
02:03:34,520 --> 02:03:38,520
Have you seen some of the footage from the like robot,

1629
02:03:38,520 --> 02:03:41,960
the first robot Olympics that they held in China? No.

1630
02:03:41,960 --> 02:03:44,320
Some of it's really impressive. Most of it's really funny.

1631
02:03:47,120 --> 02:03:52,920
This is, I don't think this is from the robot Olympics, but this is from like our robot martial arts fight.

1632
02:03:52,920 --> 02:03:54,520
This one falls under funny.

1633
02:03:56,480 --> 02:03:57,320
Oh.

1634
02:04:00,800 --> 02:04:02,360
This is from the independent.

1635
02:04:04,640 --> 02:04:09,720
There's so much more. You guys are gonna have to go check this out.

1636
02:04:09,720 --> 02:04:14,040
They're also just like shadow boxing, like 15, 20 feet away from each other,

1637
02:04:14,040 --> 02:04:18,720
just before they actually get close enough to,

1638
02:04:18,720 --> 02:04:21,840
I don't know, maybe land a blow. I don't know if they ever actually do land

1639
02:04:21,840 --> 02:04:25,240
and he hits on each other. Anyway, it's cute.

1640
02:04:31,960 --> 02:04:35,000
Oh, Floatplane announcement. What's the Floatplane announcement?

1641
02:04:36,160 --> 02:04:40,520
It's down. Oh, okay. I moved it so you wouldn't yell at me. Well, then I couldn't find it, Dan.

1642
02:04:40,520 --> 02:04:44,720
Did you ever think of that? Oh, wow. Oh my God.

1643
02:04:44,720 --> 02:04:49,720
We did a seven hour director's commentary

1644
02:04:50,440 --> 02:04:56,040
for Scrap Yard Wars 10. It's with a games master, David,

1645
02:04:56,040 --> 02:05:00,400
as well as basically everyone except me and Luke.

1646
02:05:00,400 --> 02:05:04,080
So that's Hoffman. I'm in like 10 minutes of it. They had me call in. Oh, are you in it?

1647
02:05:04,080 --> 02:05:08,480
Oh, cool. They didn't ask me. You didn't blatantly cheat.

1648
02:05:09,840 --> 02:05:13,840
What? I didn't cheat. We didn't know. No, apparently we did.

1649
02:05:13,840 --> 02:05:17,040
You should, what? We thought we got permission for something

1650
02:05:17,040 --> 02:05:21,160
and David thinks we did not. I'm glad we, I swear we did.

1651
02:05:21,160 --> 02:05:24,320
What, got permission for what? Don't worry about it.

1652
02:05:24,320 --> 02:05:27,600
No, if you wanna know, you should watch the director's

1653
02:05:27,600 --> 02:05:31,160
commentary. If you wanna know, you gotta subscribe to Floatplane and watch seven hours of video. What do you mean?

1654
02:05:33,320 --> 02:05:35,480
I think we lost. Spoilers, I guess.

1655
02:05:36,760 --> 02:05:38,640
What do you, we'll hold on a second.

1656
02:05:41,200 --> 02:05:45,120
I thought line is new. I didn't mean to open this worm can.

1657
02:05:46,640 --> 02:05:53,560
I'm reading the comments. I don't know if it's even in there. Usually the comments will tell me what was in the video.

1658
02:05:56,280 --> 02:06:01,440
Control F, C-A-H-E-A. The comments are about you cheating.

1659
02:06:02,280 --> 02:06:05,840
Next time, Dan should be on Linus's team

1660
02:06:05,840 --> 02:06:08,120
and do the same amount of cheating.

1661
02:06:10,120 --> 02:06:14,200
So Dan knows the answer. Oh no, we both know the answer.

1662
02:06:14,200 --> 02:06:17,360
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but. But I thought you were aware before this.

1663
02:06:17,360 --> 02:06:18,400
Okay, Dan.

1664
02:06:21,080 --> 02:06:25,360
I mean, we talked to David about this. Talked to David about what? We super talked to David about it.

1665
02:06:25,360 --> 02:06:30,120
But there must have been a miscommunication. If you talked to David about something, then you have to have the camera rolling, so.

1666
02:06:30,120 --> 02:06:33,640
There must have been a miscommunication. You must have had your tentacle.

1667
02:06:33,640 --> 02:06:37,000
There was mic packs rolling. Okay, well then, where's the audio

1668
02:06:37,000 --> 02:06:40,440
of you talking to David? I think it's in the commentary thing, maybe.

1669
02:06:40,440 --> 02:06:45,000
No, I think it was found in the edit and they just kind of brought it up later.

1670
02:06:45,000 --> 02:06:48,520
I can't quite remember, I don't know. Okay, so what did you guys do?

1671
02:06:48,520 --> 02:06:51,880
You gotta watch the full- I'm not gonna watch the seven hour video

1672
02:06:51,880 --> 02:06:56,520
to find out the answer to one question. I think it actually was just at the start

1673
02:06:56,520 --> 02:06:59,960
to be perfectly honest. What happened?

1674
02:07:00,960 --> 02:07:04,880
We were like, hey, somebody at work

1675
02:07:04,880 --> 02:07:09,520
is getting rid of stuff. Can we get this stuff for them?

1676
02:07:09,520 --> 02:07:11,160
Excuse me?

1677
02:07:13,040 --> 02:07:17,720
What part of you cannot use your influence?

1678
02:07:17,720 --> 02:07:21,280
But you can ask for anything. No.

1679
02:07:21,280 --> 02:07:26,320
You can ask David for anything. What? You have super broken the rules like crazy

1680
02:07:26,320 --> 02:07:29,280
before by asking David. What are you talking about?

1681
02:07:29,960 --> 02:07:34,160
What rule breaking? I could go dig up some examples. I mean, just in this episode,

1682
02:07:34,160 --> 02:07:37,200
just in this episode, there was a rule that you had to go out,

1683
02:07:37,200 --> 02:07:41,360
you had to stay in pairs and you guys sent out one because you asked David. But it explicitly said in the rules

1684
02:07:41,360 --> 02:07:45,680
that you can ask for an exception to that. Explicitly.

1685
02:07:45,680 --> 02:07:49,880
What do you mean you don't know? I didn't know it said an exception for that one.

1686
02:07:49,880 --> 02:07:53,120
Yes, it did. No, I'm not saying it didn't. I just didn't know that.

1687
02:07:53,120 --> 02:07:58,760
Okay. Dude, that's been a rule of Scrapyard Wars for years.

1688
02:07:58,760 --> 02:08:05,080
You cannot use your influence. And I would say asking a friend or co-worker

1689
02:08:05,080 --> 02:08:09,760
or family member falls pretty clearly. No, it wasn't asking.

1690
02:08:09,760 --> 02:08:13,360
They were going to give it away for free anyways.

1691
02:08:13,360 --> 02:08:16,440
So it was like, could we know the... That's why we clarified it with David.

1692
02:08:16,440 --> 02:08:20,880
...whereabouts or something. And then acquire it that way.

1693
02:08:20,880 --> 02:08:24,480
It's a very good thing that,

1694
02:08:26,760 --> 02:08:30,040
you know what, whatever. It's been out for over a week now.

1695
02:08:30,040 --> 02:08:34,120
It's a very good thing that you guys lost.

1696
02:08:34,120 --> 02:08:37,120
See, I thought it was crazy.

1697
02:08:37,120 --> 02:08:41,400
I thought it was crazy. I thought he was going to say no no matter what. And then when he said yes,

1698
02:08:41,400 --> 02:08:46,640
I thought it was because we must have been getting stomped and he was trying to show runner it and make it closer.

1699
02:08:46,640 --> 02:08:51,160
Oh yeah, same. I think what we discussed during this seven hour video,

1700
02:08:51,160 --> 02:08:55,800
he was on so many painkillers. And I think there was just a miscommunication,

1701
02:08:55,800 --> 02:08:59,760
but we did ask. So yeah, whatever.

1702
02:08:59,760 --> 02:09:03,200
Because my thing was like, there's no one that's going to fly, but you can ask if you want.

1703
02:09:03,200 --> 02:09:08,840
I think we'll be way more careful next year. Yeah, if there is a next year.

1704
02:09:08,840 --> 02:09:13,480
Luke Band, Dan Band. That is wild.

1705
02:09:13,480 --> 02:09:20,120
That is wild. Because I mean, dude, I mean, I got friends.

1706
02:09:20,760 --> 02:09:23,800
You know, I could be like, hey, Shroud. No, no, no.

1707
02:09:23,800 --> 02:09:27,440
Do you have any old gaming PCs you're planning to give away? There was no asking.

1708
02:09:27,440 --> 02:09:29,000
There was no asking involved.

1709
02:09:32,000 --> 02:09:36,360
I thought that might have been what made it okay. I still, he, I think he just didn't understand

1710
02:09:36,360 --> 02:09:39,840
what we were saying. Probably because he was on painkillers. It's whatever.

1711
02:09:39,840 --> 02:09:44,680
Okay. So what did you get? It was the speakers or something.

1712
02:09:44,680 --> 02:09:49,200
Speakers. So that's how you got a speaker set up for free.

1713
02:09:49,200 --> 02:09:53,840
Yeah. I mean, I got a speaker set up in the last grab and it works for free that was arguably better.

1714
02:09:54,840 --> 02:09:58,160
So I don't know.

1715
02:09:58,160 --> 02:10:02,560
I also actually thought that's why he okayed it was cause it's like actually not that hard to get audio stuff

1716
02:10:02,560 --> 02:10:08,840
for super cheap. I had to pay for my audio stuff. The last grab room was like a wicked audio set up

1717
02:10:08,840 --> 02:10:11,920
with an amp and everything. If you remember that, that was all, was it free?

1718
02:10:11,920 --> 02:10:16,600
Or was it like? I think it was almost free. Like like $3 or something?

1719
02:10:16,600 --> 02:10:20,800
Yeah. Listen to him reminiscing about last time, but we're not talking about last time, Luke.

1720
02:10:20,800 --> 02:10:23,840
We're talking about this time. Oh man.

1721
02:10:23,840 --> 02:10:27,400
That is. And look, look.

1722
02:10:27,400 --> 02:10:30,600
I understand that there were a fair number of folks upset

1723
02:10:30,600 --> 02:10:33,480
about the fact that my PC was not powered on.

1724
02:10:34,520 --> 02:10:37,920
Oh, no, we talked about that as well. We talked about that as well.

1725
02:10:37,920 --> 02:10:41,160
We were talking about racing rules. I don't think it should have been,

1726
02:10:41,160 --> 02:10:44,400
but I also don't think I should have been able to do a game service thing,

1727
02:10:44,400 --> 02:10:48,640
but both of those were totally within the rules. There's definitely some stuff we're gonna have to revise

1728
02:10:48,640 --> 02:10:55,480
about the rules. But the thing about Scrapyard Wars is it has always been the letter of the law

1729
02:10:55,480 --> 02:10:58,760
and what you can get away with to win.

1730
02:10:58,760 --> 02:11:01,960
Yeah, I thought the computer in the corner

1731
02:11:01,960 --> 02:11:06,480
was clever more than anything. It didn't bother me at all. Oh yeah, that was amazing. I wanted to make it furniture.

1732
02:11:07,640 --> 02:11:09,640
So I wanted a table talk for it.

1733
02:11:11,800 --> 02:11:15,160
That would have been great. See like that, that wouldn't bother me at all. That's awesome. That made it into the cut.

1734
02:11:15,160 --> 02:11:19,680
That's awesome. If people did see, I think they released it

1735
02:11:20,160 --> 02:11:24,960
on LMG clips maybe, but I know it was a Floatplane for a bit. Hold on a second, hold on a second.

1736
02:11:24,960 --> 02:11:28,240
VapeDoc in the Floatplane chat says,

1737
02:11:28,240 --> 02:11:30,120
you didn't mention the sub.

1738
02:11:31,640 --> 02:11:36,000
Oh, that was a, this was a, this was a, this was a, that probably would have been

1739
02:11:36,000 --> 02:11:41,440
a bit too far of a stretch. See here's the thing, I don't even understand what you guys needed so much money for.

1740
02:11:42,320 --> 02:11:45,960
Cause quite frankly. We blew it on a projector that barely works.

1741
02:11:45,960 --> 02:11:52,200
Yeah. Yeah, quite frankly. I, I had to, dude, the, the distribution,

1742
02:11:52,200 --> 02:11:57,960
like you guys spent $400 on a couch. I'm sitting here going like, bro, there's 350.

1743
02:11:57,960 --> 02:12:01,720
I don't remember what it was. So I wanted the crappy black one. It was a lot more than ours.

1744
02:12:01,720 --> 02:12:05,720
I know that much. I do think you guys lost more points for your couch.

1745
02:12:05,720 --> 02:12:10,000
Me? Yeah, I think so. You guys should have clearly won to be very clear.

1746
02:12:10,000 --> 02:12:15,160
I'm not trying to, I'm not trying to say that. It was very uncomfortable. It was horrifically uncomfortable.

1747
02:12:15,160 --> 02:12:19,000
Did you sit on the crack at any point? Oh, dude. Even not on the crack though.

1748
02:12:19,000 --> 02:12:25,440
It had the work, dude. It was so bad. The crack was truly a, a seventh level of hell.

1749
02:12:25,440 --> 02:12:28,440
Your guys, the couch was like. 375 bucks.

1750
02:12:28,440 --> 02:12:31,800
Yeah, okay. It was effectively 400 then. Yeah. I thought it was three.

1751
02:12:31,800 --> 02:12:35,360
Did we get a discount from there? No, you got, ours was like, ours was like a hundred or 150 or something.

1752
02:12:35,360 --> 02:12:39,360
I thought we got it for less than three cents. Projector was 800 bucks. Yeah, that was rough.

1753
02:12:40,360 --> 02:12:43,360
Crazy. I didn't, ah, yeah.

1754
02:12:43,360 --> 02:12:49,920
Okay. I don't know enough about projectors. I thought going the projector play was like super good.

1755
02:12:49,920 --> 02:12:53,720
Obviously in hindsight, no, but. I think we got locked into it.

1756
02:12:53,720 --> 02:12:58,560
We talked about this a lot during the director's commentary.

1757
02:12:58,560 --> 02:13:02,200
I feel like we need to like align something. Okay, I feel like we've gotten off topic. I feel like we've gotten off topic.

1758
02:13:02,200 --> 02:13:05,920
Tell me about the subwoofer. Oh, that was mine.

1759
02:13:09,200 --> 02:13:13,680
Okay. That is cheating.

1760
02:13:13,680 --> 02:13:17,160
I think so. That is the most cheatingest thing

1761
02:13:17,160 --> 02:13:21,200
of any scrapyard wars ever. So how did that one fly? I have no idea.

1762
02:13:21,200 --> 02:13:25,360
That is a giant load of. Did you ask about that one?

1763
02:13:25,360 --> 02:13:28,480
Probably. That's a little too blatant for even me.

1764
02:13:28,480 --> 02:13:32,240
Cause my, my general byline was like, if you want to do something whack,

1765
02:13:32,240 --> 02:13:34,040
just make sure you clear with David.

1766
02:13:35,520 --> 02:13:38,640
But then I also didn't know that David was on tons of painkillers.

1767
02:13:38,640 --> 02:13:42,040
No, neither did I. I wasn't aware of that until this stream.

1768
02:13:42,040 --> 02:13:44,200
Exactly, exactly. Oh my God, you guys.

1769
02:13:45,200 --> 02:13:49,280
I'm glad it helped so much.

1770
02:13:49,280 --> 02:13:52,600
Wow. It's really lucky you guys didn't win.

1771
02:13:52,600 --> 02:13:55,760
Cause I think that actually, I think people would have legitimately been mad.

1772
02:13:55,760 --> 02:14:00,280
I think we would have been DQ'd at this point. Oh yeah, absolutely.

1773
02:14:00,280 --> 02:14:06,360
We've never, have we ever disqualified anyone? No, and there's been really egregious cheating in the past.

1774
02:14:06,360 --> 02:14:09,920
I don't think as bad as just bringing parts from home. Probably not.

1775
02:14:09,920 --> 02:14:16,600
I don't even remember what they were, but probably not, no. Wait, didn't we almost disqualify Kyle?

1776
02:14:16,600 --> 02:14:20,520
What did he do? I don't remember. Oh, didn't they just fully actually cheat?

1777
02:14:21,680 --> 02:14:24,960
No. Paul and Kyle in that thing? I thought they did.

1778
02:14:24,960 --> 02:14:28,320
I thought they super did. I don't think so. Did they? They wouldn't cheat.

1779
02:14:28,320 --> 02:14:32,360
Does anyone remember? I haven't watched any of the old crap here. Paul and Kyle were outright DQ'd.

1780
02:14:32,360 --> 02:14:36,040
Yeah, okay. I thought something happened. Okay, apparently,

1781
02:14:36,040 --> 02:14:39,560
apparently we have disqualified someone before. What did they do?

1782
02:14:39,560 --> 02:14:43,840
I don't remember, but I remember something happened.

1783
02:14:49,560 --> 02:14:52,640
They did, they super did. They screwed themselves with V-Sync.

1784
02:14:52,640 --> 02:14:55,640
What are you guys even talking about? Okay, I don't remember.

1785
02:14:55,640 --> 02:14:57,400
We need a cheating addition.

1786
02:14:59,840 --> 02:15:03,920
They used their own drive. Oh, that's right.

1787
02:15:03,920 --> 02:15:08,960
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because their drive died or something, right? Yeah. So it was actually good for the video.

1788
02:15:08,960 --> 02:15:12,880
Yeah. Because then they were able to present. Cause didn't, did they win?

1789
02:15:12,880 --> 02:15:16,200
Damn, I can't remember anymore. I don't remember. We have to go back and actually like check

1790
02:15:16,200 --> 02:15:19,800
our win-loss records. Cause I think we're pretty close to even now.

1791
02:15:19,800 --> 02:15:21,320
You might still be ahead of me.

1792
02:15:23,040 --> 02:15:26,800
He's like- It's gotta be wicked close or tied. He's like,

1793
02:15:28,040 --> 02:15:33,760
pissed. No, I am. Because I see it as like old gen and new gen.

1794
02:15:33,760 --> 02:15:37,800
Have I told, have I explained this to you before? What? No, I haven't. Cause there was a huge gap.

1795
02:15:38,800 --> 02:15:42,000
A gap? There's a massive time gap in Scrapyard Wars.

1796
02:15:42,000 --> 02:15:45,400
So I see it as old generation Scrapyard Wars and new generation Scrapyard Wars.

1797
02:15:45,400 --> 02:15:48,640
And in new generation Scrapyard Wars, I'm O and two.

1798
02:15:49,840 --> 02:15:54,000
What? Do you only count? So you don't count the one with the teams?

1799
02:15:54,000 --> 02:15:58,000
I'm not counting it. I'm just looking at this split.

1800
02:15:58,000 --> 02:16:02,800
Oh, so since the Scrapyard Wars pause, you're seeing it as like the reboot.

1801
02:16:02,800 --> 02:16:06,600
So in the reboot- Since the reboot, I'm O and two. That's funny.

1802
02:16:06,600 --> 02:16:11,240
And both of them honestly weren't that close, which is like bad.

1803
02:16:11,240 --> 02:16:15,960
It's not great. No, it's not. This last season was by far, in my opinion,

1804
02:16:15,960 --> 02:16:20,080
my worst showing ever. Maybe next time, spend more time.

1805
02:16:20,080 --> 02:16:23,600
Sleeping. Not launching a platform the same week.

1806
02:16:23,600 --> 02:16:27,160
We tried. Yeah. No, I know. No, no, no.

1807
02:16:27,160 --> 02:16:31,640
I really appreciate it. I did everything humanly possible. They actually, for context for the viewership,

1808
02:16:31,640 --> 02:16:35,240
they actually moved Scrapyard Wars a whole week for me.

1809
02:16:35,240 --> 02:16:39,240
So that he wouldn't have the overlap. And then the launch just got delayed.

1810
02:16:39,240 --> 02:16:44,720
So like, I literally sleep. I don't remember a very low amount of hours

1811
02:16:44,720 --> 02:16:48,960
over the entire thing. I think it was like- I was doing 16 hours over five days.

1812
02:16:48,960 --> 02:16:53,200
I think it was less than that. I might have been less. And I know like the first day of shooting,

1813
02:16:53,200 --> 02:16:57,040
like when you see us throwing the money up and stuff, I had been awake for over 30 hours

1814
02:16:57,040 --> 02:17:00,920
while we were filming that. So that was the day he decided to buy a projector.

1815
02:17:00,920 --> 02:17:04,320
Yeah, like, boom. And then we just kind of ran with it. I have no idea.

1816
02:17:04,320 --> 02:17:09,520
Like it was just- It was honestly, if you guys had executed on it perfectly,

1817
02:17:09,520 --> 02:17:16,160
I think you could have won. It was a clever concept. I can't understate how like,

1818
02:17:16,160 --> 02:17:19,280
f***ed we got from not having them out.

1819
02:17:19,280 --> 02:17:24,280
Because actually everyone's time went into

1820
02:17:24,920 --> 02:17:28,480
setting the mount up. And I know the people who actually did the mount stuff are gonna be like, what?

1821
02:17:28,480 --> 02:17:32,480
That's not fair. It is because then that meant we couldn't like drive places.

1822
02:17:32,480 --> 02:17:36,360
Yeah. And but you know what's, you know what the funny part is to me?

1823
02:17:36,360 --> 02:17:39,640
It was so rough. I don't really understand.

1824
02:17:41,640 --> 02:17:47,520
And I mean, I don't mean any disrespect. I know that in a time of like,

1825
02:17:47,520 --> 02:17:51,980
frantically trying to problem solve, sometimes you can come up with not the best solutions.

1826
02:17:51,980 --> 02:17:55,640
But like, why did you guys try to 3D print a mount?

1827
02:17:55,640 --> 02:18:01,720
Why didn't you just go get a piece of wood and just like screw the piece of wood into the thing

1828
02:18:01,720 --> 02:18:05,520
and then just like put it on a fricking like hinge

1829
02:18:05,520 --> 02:18:09,360
or something. Like why did you try to, why did you try to 3D print a mount?

1830
02:18:09,360 --> 02:18:14,480
Put it on a hinge. Like literally just, literally just put a fricking,

1831
02:18:14,480 --> 02:18:17,760
get a piece of wood and literally put a big screw into it

1832
02:18:17,760 --> 02:18:22,240
and fricking bend it. You know, like if you're gonna be jank, just like, just jank it.

1833
02:18:22,240 --> 02:18:24,200
Yeah, we probably should have done that.

1834
02:18:25,600 --> 02:18:29,240
I don't know, but like how, how much time do you think? Put the projector on a shelf.

1835
02:18:29,240 --> 02:18:32,680
I didn't even think of that one, which goes to shelf like you don't- I suggested shelf, yeah.

1836
02:18:32,680 --> 02:18:36,480
Yeah, why don't you just put it on a shelf behind the couch? Why don't we do shelf then?

1837
02:18:36,480 --> 02:18:40,040
They wouldn't go on by one. I got us free shelving,

1838
02:18:40,040 --> 02:18:43,320
so I don't think that makes sense. How much time do you think got spent between you

1839
02:18:43,320 --> 02:18:47,200
and Justin on the mount and mounting it?

1840
02:18:47,200 --> 02:18:49,840
I wasn't involved in the mount.

1841
02:18:50,840 --> 02:18:56,520
Mounting it took like way too long. And you read the 3D print at some point, right?

1842
02:18:56,520 --> 02:19:03,800
No, I had to modify it kind of last day because yeah, no comment, really.

1843
02:19:05,040 --> 02:19:09,200
Chris App says people 3D print things for all kinds of stuff that would be easier

1844
02:19:09,200 --> 02:19:12,520
if you just didn't 3D print it. Well, no, that's a thing for sure.

1845
02:19:12,520 --> 02:19:17,520
But it like, it literally took like a person and a half

1846
02:19:17,640 --> 02:19:23,720
out of the competition for us. Really? Oh yeah, like I genuinely cannot overstate

1847
02:19:23,720 --> 02:19:28,160
how devastating that was. Would have been a lot better to just go to a Home Depot

1848
02:19:28,160 --> 02:19:32,080
and buy some screws and hinges and things. Sure. Alexander the terrible asks,

1849
02:19:32,080 --> 02:19:35,840
can you clarify what the rules were for tools so people can stop saying line is cheated

1850
02:19:35,840 --> 02:19:40,320
for using a freaking paint roller? The rules are that we're allowed to use any tools

1851
02:19:40,320 --> 02:19:44,240
that we could realistically have access to in the office.

1852
02:19:44,240 --> 02:19:48,000
And one 3D printer? And one 3D printer?

1853
02:19:48,000 --> 02:19:51,760
There was also, you were allowed to use your own tools. Oh, okay.

1854
02:19:53,280 --> 02:19:59,120
Tool use was not the problem? Yeah. No, at all. But it was, but materials counted,

1855
02:19:59,120 --> 02:20:02,880
except you had unlimited filament for one printer. For one printer, yeah.

1856
02:20:02,880 --> 02:20:07,760
Yeah. And only one printer. And only one. Cause that's the limiting factor, not the plastic.

1857
02:20:07,760 --> 02:20:11,240
Yeah. I didn't realize that we were allowed to mount stuff

1858
02:20:11,240 --> 02:20:14,880
to the walls with like, they would give us backing wood.

1859
02:20:14,880 --> 02:20:18,040
Like if you wanted to mount a TV to a wall. I had no idea that was a thing

1860
02:20:18,040 --> 02:20:21,920
until they mentioned it in the stream. Same. Did you know that was a thing?

1861
02:20:21,920 --> 02:20:25,120
Yeah. Okay, so none of the contestants knew.

1862
02:20:25,680 --> 02:20:29,840
I would have mounted a TV to the wall though. The reason why I asked if you knew was a thing

1863
02:20:29,840 --> 02:20:33,680
and was pretty sure you didn't, it was cause obviously you would have done that. No, I wouldn't have.

1864
02:20:33,680 --> 02:20:38,920
I didn't have money. I couldn't afford to mount. Dude, I had, I had a dollar 38 left.

1865
02:20:39,920 --> 02:20:44,280
Like we, dude. Yeah, we were down to small amounts.

1866
02:20:44,280 --> 02:20:48,520
But we scrapped harder than you guys this time. We didn't scrap at all actually.

1867
02:20:48,520 --> 02:20:53,000
Yeah. Like you guys paid like, you guys, you guys paid a fortune for your rug.

1868
02:20:53,000 --> 02:20:57,080
You guys paid a fortune for your couch. I think we paid, we paid a lot less than you for a rug,

1869
02:20:57,080 --> 02:21:01,640
I think. Did you? I'm $20. Rug, rug, rug, rug, rug.

1870
02:21:01,640 --> 02:21:04,720
Okay, maybe I'm wrong about the rug, but the couch. The couch was really expensive.

1871
02:21:04,720 --> 02:21:08,400
The couch was $375. We thought we had tons of money. When we got the couch.

1872
02:21:08,400 --> 02:21:11,840
Rug, $25. Okay, you guys slayed on the rug then. I found the rug.

1873
02:21:11,840 --> 02:21:16,200
But just like in general, dude, like I was, I was watching your side. And I was just like, oh my God,

1874
02:21:16,200 --> 02:21:21,760
like how do they have all this money? And it's because they didn't need a compute device.

1875
02:21:21,760 --> 02:21:25,800
Well, yeah. Like we, we spent almost $400 on a PlayStation.

1876
02:21:25,800 --> 02:21:29,440
$112. And then we bought, we bought movies.

1877
02:21:29,440 --> 02:21:33,720
Okay, so there's been a lot of talk about the shadow thing as well.

1878
02:21:33,720 --> 02:21:37,200
And I feel pretty bad for shadow.

1879
02:21:37,200 --> 02:21:40,720
Yeah, they got kind of boned by just our internet being sucked that day.

1880
02:21:40,720 --> 02:21:44,680
I wish it was explained a little bit better. It was explained decently well,

1881
02:21:44,680 --> 02:21:49,880
but I wish there was like almost a disclaimer on screen of how much testing I did.

1882
02:21:49,880 --> 02:21:53,480
Cause this was very explicitly communicated through David. And I think this was actually fine.

1883
02:21:53,480 --> 02:21:57,840
He let me do testing of it when it was acting weird outside of ours.

1884
02:21:59,080 --> 02:22:03,600
I wasn't allowed to actually work on like my own system, but I could run shadow at my house

1885
02:22:03,600 --> 02:22:08,360
and be like, is it working? Right. And I could like go to friends houses

1886
02:22:08,360 --> 02:22:15,760
and be like run shadow, is it working? And it was working perfectly fine the entire week

1887
02:22:15,840 --> 02:22:19,200
everywhere I tested, which was tons of places.

1888
02:22:19,200 --> 02:22:23,480
I don't think this is in the Eula necessarily, but I was sharing the heck out of my account

1889
02:22:23,480 --> 02:22:28,480
with like everyone I knew getting to run it from everywhere they could at all times in day.

1890
02:22:28,480 --> 02:22:31,600
And there was literally never a problem

1891
02:22:31,600 --> 02:22:37,480
except for at our office. And there's something with how our firewall is set up.

1892
02:22:37,480 --> 02:22:42,200
I don't remember. Sean was trying to work on it. I mean, I think that's why our adventure time stream

1893
02:22:42,200 --> 02:22:46,320
looked like crap too. Probably. It was terrible. It looked like 240p.

1894
02:22:46,320 --> 02:22:49,720
There's something weird. And I know that's like literally my department, LOL.

1895
02:22:49,720 --> 02:22:54,120
But there's something weird with how that set up and that totally new shadow.

1896
02:22:54,120 --> 02:22:57,280
That is not, I know there was some comments being like,

1897
02:22:57,280 --> 02:23:01,840
oh, this is just what streaming experience is like. No. And there are some issues there.

1898
02:23:01,840 --> 02:23:08,160
Yes, but no. But not at this level, like at all. We have like an enterprise grade connection here.

1899
02:23:08,160 --> 02:23:12,560
It's like, I forget what the exact whole thing is, but basically it's the closest thing

1900
02:23:12,560 --> 02:23:17,200
to if we had a dedicated fiber line without actually having our own fiber run through the street.

1901
02:23:17,200 --> 02:23:21,960
And we've got like three of them. There is no reason why we should have anything,

1902
02:23:21,960 --> 02:23:25,160
but the cleanest possible connection to Vanix,

1903
02:23:25,160 --> 02:23:30,360
which should have the cleanest possible connection. I've had somebody on a copper 100-100 line.

1904
02:23:30,360 --> 02:23:35,200
That ran it great on like a eight year old computer.

1905
02:23:35,200 --> 02:23:39,120
Like this was not, it was not shadow.

1906
02:23:39,120 --> 02:23:42,160
Yeah. So like, I don't know. It was just bad luck.

1907
02:23:42,160 --> 02:23:45,640
The projector, all right, cool. Yeah.

1908
02:23:45,640 --> 02:23:50,760
That was not great. Did not executive decision that call just to be very clear?

1909
02:23:50,760 --> 02:23:56,600
Yeah. But we were also saying like, you know, sports,

1910
02:23:56,600 --> 02:24:00,600
if only I had made that pass. If only I had trained a bit harder,

1911
02:24:00,600 --> 02:24:05,840
if only I didn't come to work drunk, if only I, you know, it's like,

1912
02:24:05,840 --> 02:24:09,600
you can go look back forever in highlights and stuff like that.

1913
02:24:09,600 --> 02:24:13,560
The projector, I wish we didn't make that call, shadow.

1914
02:24:13,560 --> 02:24:17,760
You guys could have gotten away with the projector if you had also painted the room.

1915
02:24:17,760 --> 02:24:21,800
I can. I originally wanted to do silver screen, but there's so much,

1916
02:24:21,800 --> 02:24:25,480
and I don't think we should necessarily talk about it on stream,

1917
02:24:25,480 --> 02:24:29,080
but there is a lot of reasons and stuff that we don't really want to go into right now.

1918
02:24:29,080 --> 02:24:32,840
I can't explain how torpedoed the team got when we didn't get them out.

1919
02:24:34,200 --> 02:24:38,200
When I'm saying a person and a half, at least a person and a half,

1920
02:24:38,200 --> 02:24:41,600
we're just removed from the competition when we didn't get that mouth. That's rough.

1921
02:24:41,600 --> 02:24:44,920
And yeah, we should have just mounted it in the easier way, whatever.

1922
02:24:44,920 --> 02:24:48,480
I also don't even, I mean, I watched the interaction where they picked it up.

1923
02:24:48,480 --> 02:24:52,200
I don't even blame them for taking the projector because you guys had decided on the projector

1924
02:24:52,200 --> 02:24:56,440
and you did say get them out, but like also like,

1925
02:24:56,440 --> 02:25:00,360
you're trying to, you're trying to, like you're under your under time constraint.

1926
02:25:00,360 --> 02:25:03,600
Like I understand why they made the call to just take it anyway and go,

1927
02:25:03,600 --> 02:25:08,840
yeah, we can figure out a mount because it can't be that hard. I didn't know there was a mount properly.

1928
02:25:08,840 --> 02:25:11,880
You know, otherwise it would have been like, no, we need them out.

1929
02:25:11,880 --> 02:25:16,560
But I hear you. It was communicated, but even then I wouldn't assume like, okay, look,

1930
02:25:16,560 --> 02:25:19,600
if somebody sent me to go get a camera

1931
02:25:19,600 --> 02:25:23,200
and they told me, yeah, it doesn't have like the plate that goes under it. I'd be like, well, yeah, I mean,

1932
02:25:23,200 --> 02:25:26,840
I'm still buying the camera. I'll figure out, I'll figure out a plate.

1933
02:25:26,840 --> 02:25:30,080
Like that can't be that hard. I wouldn't think that getting a projector mount

1934
02:25:30,080 --> 02:25:33,280
is that hard. The shadow problems, I did work on the mount side of ours.

1935
02:25:33,280 --> 02:25:36,560
I also spent an egregious amount of time working on them inside of ours.

1936
02:25:36,560 --> 02:25:39,920
Like between the mount and shadow,

1937
02:25:39,920 --> 02:25:44,620
we basically had like, Sammy who couldn't drive around by herself.

1938
02:25:44,620 --> 02:25:49,740
I was about to say, Sammy was your team's like standout rock star.

1939
02:25:49,740 --> 02:25:53,380
Oh, she's the only reason we got like any points at all. Yeah.

1940
02:25:53,380 --> 02:25:56,740
She didn't hit her head. The fact that- And was given nothing.

1941
02:25:56,740 --> 02:26:01,660
I don't know how well communicated it was in the video. She had, was it like 14 minutes

1942
02:26:01,660 --> 02:26:06,740
to make the room cool or something? Dude, your room went from casting couch

1943
02:26:06,740 --> 02:26:10,140
to inviting lobby in like,

1944
02:26:11,100 --> 02:26:14,700
a shockingly small amount of time and with very little budget.

1945
02:26:14,700 --> 02:26:17,900
I remember her being like, I was very impressed. I need at least 30 minutes.

1946
02:26:17,900 --> 02:26:22,460
To be clear, I wasn't surprised because I saw what Sammy did with the budget

1947
02:26:22,460 --> 02:26:25,460
that I gave her on the previous season, which was even less.

1948
02:26:25,460 --> 02:26:28,740
Yeah. But I was very impressed. Yeah.

1949
02:26:31,140 --> 02:26:34,540
Oh, Lordy. Yeah, she did great.

1950
02:26:37,180 --> 02:26:38,940
We gave her nothing.

1951
02:26:40,740 --> 02:26:43,900
And she did good with it. Okay.

1952
02:26:43,900 --> 02:26:48,980
Dunphy says 58 seconds in episode one, can only use items purchased using the budget.

1953
02:26:48,980 --> 02:26:52,340
Linus sold a sound bar. Yes.

1954
02:26:52,340 --> 02:26:55,660
But I sold a sound bar that I only have

1955
02:26:55,660 --> 02:26:58,820
because I bought it. I'm completely fine with that. I think that's pretty standard.

1956
02:26:58,820 --> 02:27:02,220
That's canon at this point. That if you can wheel and deal.

1957
02:27:02,220 --> 02:27:05,620
Yeah. I don't know if that's in the rules or not, but like that is completely fine.

1958
02:27:05,620 --> 02:27:09,140
I think it's allowed by legal precedent.

1959
02:27:09,140 --> 02:27:13,900
Sure. I think that is objectively good for the game.

1960
02:27:13,900 --> 02:27:18,540
Oh, yeah. If you can flip, like, yeah, totally cool.

1961
02:27:18,540 --> 02:27:23,300
Dude, that TV deal saved me. That TV deal was incredible.

1962
02:27:23,300 --> 02:27:26,740
I got a 75. Man, watching you wheel for that was so dope.

1963
02:27:27,940 --> 02:27:32,620
That was actually awesome. Dude, I was...

1964
02:27:32,620 --> 02:27:36,620
Watching it was painful for myself because I was just staring at myself doing dumb things

1965
02:27:36,620 --> 02:27:40,580
so I'm way too freaking tired. And then I could see myself

1966
02:27:40,580 --> 02:27:45,220
in a conversation with someone knowing that behind the back of my laptop

1967
02:27:45,220 --> 02:27:48,900
is actually Sauce Plus instead of Scrapperware's Listing.

1968
02:27:48,900 --> 02:27:52,700
So I'm like, man, sorry, entire team. I kind of screwed everyone over this season,

1969
02:27:52,700 --> 02:27:56,620
but watching some of your team stuff was cool.

1970
02:27:56,620 --> 02:28:01,380
And that wheel and dealing for the TV was awesome. McBain, run the numbers.

1971
02:28:01,380 --> 02:28:05,620
I never went negative money last season. That didn't happen.

1972
02:28:05,620 --> 02:28:09,540
I thought you went credit card. No. No, I didn't go over budget.

1973
02:28:09,540 --> 02:28:13,540
I had to use money off my credit card because I left the cash somewhere.

1974
02:28:13,540 --> 02:28:17,300
I wasn't negative budget. I was never out of money.

1975
02:28:17,300 --> 02:28:23,780
I thought you did. I just had to move it around creatively because it wasn't in the same physical place that I was.

1976
02:28:23,780 --> 02:28:30,180
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I, if anything, I have been on my best behavior

1977
02:28:30,180 --> 02:28:34,820
the last couple of seasons. I will say much, much better than in the past.

1978
02:28:34,820 --> 02:28:37,820
Now it's our turn. Hey, look, look, look, look, look.

1979
02:28:39,940 --> 02:28:43,820
I have always. Look at us, we are the cheaters now.

1980
02:28:43,820 --> 02:28:47,300
I have always. Where did we learn it, mom? I've always followed rules.

1981
02:28:47,300 --> 02:28:51,540
It's just that we used to have much more ill-defined rules

1982
02:28:51,540 --> 02:28:55,380
so they were easier to more egregiously skirt.

1983
02:28:55,380 --> 02:29:00,220
Whereas now we actually, for better or for worse, we have pretty well-defined rule sets.

1984
02:29:00,220 --> 02:29:05,220
So I have to be more creative in my interpretation.

1985
02:29:06,180 --> 02:29:10,500
Is the rules around the PC being required should probably be more explicit.

1986
02:29:10,500 --> 02:29:14,060
And those were intentionally vague. And Linus, for one season, I think that's not fine.

1987
02:29:14,060 --> 02:29:21,340
We were talking about racing stuff on the live stream. Like F1 is basically, that rule book's like 3,000 pages long.

1988
02:29:21,340 --> 02:29:25,500
And people still are trying to find ways to do what Linus did with the computer,

1989
02:29:25,500 --> 02:29:28,660
which is like part of sport. That's part of sport.

1990
02:29:28,660 --> 02:29:33,460
Exactly. Exactly. And it was left vague for Linus to do that.

1991
02:29:33,460 --> 02:29:37,860
And you can do that one time and that's good. I don't want to be encouraged

1992
02:29:37,860 --> 02:29:42,780
to try a shadow solution again. But it was neat to try one time.

1993
02:29:42,780 --> 02:29:45,220
I'm just sad that I really,

1994
02:29:47,140 --> 02:29:51,340
we weren't gonna win. You guys won.

1995
02:29:51,340 --> 02:29:54,380
I'm not trying to argue that. But if shadow worked-

1996
02:29:54,380 --> 02:29:59,340
And my trophy's super cool this year. If shadow worked, I think it would have been a lot cooler.

1997
02:29:59,340 --> 02:30:03,380
I didn't know it could have been closer. Didn't even know we were gonna get trophies.

1998
02:30:03,380 --> 02:30:08,340
Oh, I didn't know we were gonna get trophies. They were a surprise to me too. Because like the projector was not configured

1999
02:30:08,340 --> 02:30:12,500
and the speakers lost their configuration. Someone, this is not why we lost.

2000
02:30:12,500 --> 02:30:16,900
You messed us up too. So when I was testing on my laptop,

2001
02:30:16,900 --> 02:30:19,700
I was getting 5.1, 6.1.

2002
02:30:20,420 --> 02:30:24,140
The little PC didn't, wasn't able to output-

2003
02:30:24,140 --> 02:30:27,540
I had to spare a little PC. Maybe you should have tried with that.

2004
02:30:27,540 --> 02:30:31,580
Yeah, in the 10 minutes that I had to test everything. I hated one mom and dad fight.

2005
02:30:31,940 --> 02:30:35,860
Shut up. He tried to mount the projector all the time. Yeah, this isn't your conversation.

2006
02:30:35,860 --> 02:30:41,380
Yeah, get out of here Linus. Everybody, we never fought before you were born.

2007
02:30:41,380 --> 02:30:44,540
It's your fault. Ultimately, I was captain of the ship.

2008
02:30:44,540 --> 02:30:49,500
I should have done a better job. It lands on me, but- Oh, you don't have to fall on that sword.

2009
02:30:49,500 --> 02:30:53,500
No, I think I do. I mean, I'm the one that did not execute on literally anything.

2010
02:30:53,500 --> 02:30:57,020
I'm just gonna say my team's teamwork was immaculate.

2011
02:30:57,020 --> 02:31:01,060
You guys killed it. We were like, dialed. No confidence. We were dialed.

2012
02:31:01,060 --> 02:31:05,860
I had definitely my roughest season and you guys just killed it the whole time.

2013
02:31:05,860 --> 02:31:09,580
My entire team, MVP.

2014
02:31:09,580 --> 02:31:13,540
Like, Pancras was awesome. Sebastian was awesome.

2015
02:31:13,540 --> 02:31:16,660
Natalie was awesome. Dude, we had some really fantastic team moments too.

2016
02:31:16,660 --> 02:31:19,980
The fact that we got a room- Oh dude. Is crazy.

2017
02:31:19,980 --> 02:31:25,220
Yes. Like the push through at the end was wild.

2018
02:31:25,220 --> 02:31:30,220
Dan just like melting plastic knives into the roof.

2019
02:31:31,180 --> 02:31:35,060
Crazy. I was not particularly happy that I had to do that

2020
02:31:35,060 --> 02:31:38,060
for the record. But it worked.

2021
02:31:38,060 --> 02:31:40,060
I mean, country girls make do, right?

2022
02:31:42,620 --> 02:31:45,260
My God. I don't know if everyone's gonna get that reference.

2023
02:31:46,940 --> 02:31:51,020
You gotta get there. You gotta get there somewhere. Like we're not going to lose.

2024
02:31:51,020 --> 02:31:55,300
Or we're not going to- We're not gonna not show. We're not going to...

2025
02:31:55,300 --> 02:32:02,420
We're gonna show up for the game, right? Because after like, yeah, there was a moment

2026
02:32:02,780 --> 02:32:08,140
where I was thrown a crazy curve ball where I was informed that my little mini PC idea

2027
02:32:08,140 --> 02:32:13,700
would not work. And then I lost hours to re-realizing,

2028
02:32:13,700 --> 02:32:16,860
oh no, my idea was actually fine. The mini PC would work.

2029
02:32:16,860 --> 02:32:21,380
So I lost a lot of time with that. And then I lost at least half a day to that,

2030
02:32:21,380 --> 02:32:25,020
which probably wouldn't have lost that much if I was awake.

2031
02:32:25,020 --> 02:32:28,140
And then I lost an enormous amount of time,

2032
02:32:28,140 --> 02:32:31,660
like almost all the rest of my time, trying to figure out shadow or driving.

2033
02:32:31,660 --> 02:32:36,620
That was like all the rest of it. So I was not very useful to the team.

2034
02:32:36,620 --> 02:32:41,860
Angry Panda PC in Floatplane chat says, hey Luke, at least you had a very entertaining team.

2035
02:32:41,860 --> 02:32:45,620
I think so. You did have that. You guys were very entertaining to watch.

2036
02:32:45,620 --> 02:32:48,420
If I tried to detach myself and watch

2037
02:32:49,340 --> 02:32:54,420
as if I wasn't in the show, I thought our team was Dan specifically,

2038
02:32:54,460 --> 02:32:58,820
it was very entertaining. Roman asks, who threw harder?

2039
02:32:58,820 --> 02:33:01,660
Luke throwing the game or Dan throwing the projector?

2040
02:33:03,220 --> 02:33:07,380
Oh, but he caught it. Dan, dropping that projector. That was crazy.

2041
02:33:07,380 --> 02:33:12,140
That was like one of the craziest Scrapyard Wars moments ever.

2042
02:33:12,140 --> 02:33:16,020
If I remember correctly. He was holding half of your team's entire budget.

2043
02:33:16,020 --> 02:33:19,580
And not only was I holding half of the budget,

2044
02:33:19,580 --> 02:33:22,700
I also fell over the rest of the audio system,

2045
02:33:22,740 --> 02:33:25,940
including the AV receiver and literally everything else.

2046
02:33:25,940 --> 02:33:29,820
So in one tiny little move, I could have destroyed all of our equipment.

2047
02:33:31,180 --> 02:33:35,180
I thought it was gonna fall through the wall because it's like paper thin,

2048
02:33:35,180 --> 02:33:39,180
but no, it seemed okay. I crushed it against the wall with my hand

2049
02:33:39,180 --> 02:33:42,940
and that broke its fall. So good. I heard you told me a little bit about it,

2050
02:33:42,940 --> 02:33:47,700
and then- I was not gonna tell you anything about it. Yeah, I think you told me that you bled,

2051
02:33:47,700 --> 02:33:50,980
but that I'd have to watch it in the edit. And then watching the edit the whole time,

2052
02:33:50,980 --> 02:33:53,220
which was like, oh my God.

2053
02:33:55,060 --> 02:33:59,980
That was amazing. I think people didn't, because we were talking in Canadian dollars,

2054
02:33:59,980 --> 02:34:04,180
I think people didn't fully understand how good my TV deal was, by the way.

2055
02:34:04,180 --> 02:34:08,020
This is what I paid for a 70- Dude, your PlayStation deal was insane.

2056
02:34:08,020 --> 02:34:11,820
That was a great deal. The PlayStation deal and the TV deal were crazy.

2057
02:34:11,820 --> 02:34:14,980
For, so that was another thing that people didn't fully appreciate

2058
02:34:14,980 --> 02:34:18,260
was my price on the PlayStation. They were like, why is London so excited about this price?

2059
02:34:18,260 --> 02:34:21,860
Because I paid Canadian freaking dollars. 400 bucks in there.

2060
02:34:21,860 --> 02:34:25,780
Because what's communicated to the audience at the beginning of the episode,

2061
02:34:25,780 --> 02:34:29,700
I think, is that we have $1,400 or whatever? Yes. But then the whole time we're actually talking-

2062
02:34:29,700 --> 02:34:33,660
In CAD, $2,000. We're talking about $2,000. So it's a little confusing as a viewer.

2063
02:34:33,660 --> 02:34:36,860
I'm gonna check in for the PlayStation again. Was it 400? You said 400 bucks, yeah.

2064
02:34:36,860 --> 02:34:42,820
CAD, TSD. So I paid 288 US dollars for a PlayStation 5.

2065
02:34:43,380 --> 02:34:47,660
When I saw that in the episode, I was like, that's just- Two dual senses.

2066
02:34:47,660 --> 02:34:50,660
I hear 460. And I got-

2067
02:34:50,660 --> 02:34:54,020
460. 460. Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. Okay, let's fix it.

2068
02:34:54,020 --> 02:34:57,380
I paid 460. 460 with the three games, though. I'm two controllers.

2069
02:34:57,380 --> 02:35:02,380
I paid $332 for a PS5, two dual senses, and three games.

2070
02:35:03,140 --> 02:35:06,780
One of the games I sold for like 20 bucks, I think, $15 or $20.

2071
02:35:06,780 --> 02:35:10,980
So I actually paid like 320 bucks US

2072
02:35:10,980 --> 02:35:13,260
for a PS5 and two dual senses.

2073
02:35:14,220 --> 02:35:19,220
And then for the TV, I paid $396 US dollars

2074
02:35:19,820 --> 02:35:24,820
for a 75 inch TV with a free, like $200 MSRP,

2075
02:35:25,020 --> 02:35:29,420
so $150 US dollar sound bar that I sold for a hundred Canadian dollars.

2076
02:35:29,420 --> 02:35:34,420
So I paid like $320 for a 75 inch TV.

2077
02:35:35,060 --> 02:35:39,900
First of all, Pankrat's watching right now. I had no idea you were the guy at the shipping can from that.

2078
02:35:39,900 --> 02:35:43,140
I had no idea that was him. That was nuts.

2079
02:35:43,140 --> 02:35:49,300
I didn't know that until he told me. No one told me until I was just watching the episode.

2080
02:35:49,300 --> 02:35:52,580
And I was like, wait, what?

2081
02:35:52,580 --> 02:35:58,780
And then obviously it was like obvious when watching the episode again. So David Pankrat's from my team this year

2082
02:35:58,780 --> 02:36:02,140
is the guy who gave Luke his free PC last year.

2083
02:36:02,140 --> 02:36:04,780
I didn't use any of it, but. Well, whatever.

2084
02:36:06,380 --> 02:36:10,740
So that was nuts. And then when he was like selling the sound bar

2085
02:36:10,740 --> 02:36:14,260
and the guy offered a hundred bucks or whatever, and then I think he tried contacting you

2086
02:36:14,260 --> 02:36:17,660
to like see if it was cool or not. I was like, oh my God, just take it.

2087
02:36:17,660 --> 02:36:22,620
I was worried he was gonna not get the deal. We got an offer on it really fast.

2088
02:36:22,620 --> 02:36:27,940
People were like, because it was brand new in box, right? That's always my concern with trying to resell

2089
02:36:27,940 --> 02:36:32,380
is if it doesn't work out, you can be kind of screwed. But that TV was probably worth buying anyways.

2090
02:36:32,380 --> 02:36:36,340
Well, last season we ran into trouble

2091
02:36:36,340 --> 02:36:39,780
where we used far more than what we had budgeted for the PC

2092
02:36:39,780 --> 02:36:42,980
and we had like two full computers worth of stuff.

2093
02:36:42,980 --> 02:36:47,620
And people were like grinding me on the price trying to get me to bundle basically all of it

2094
02:36:47,620 --> 02:36:51,100
for like, well, realistically, it was about what I paid anyway.

2095
02:36:51,100 --> 02:36:55,260
So I wasn't gonna lose money, but I was stressed because I was like,

2096
02:36:55,260 --> 02:36:59,780
I wanted to get rid of it for like a decent price. I wish we'd sold you the CPU last year

2097
02:37:01,180 --> 02:37:04,500
when you guys wanted to buy it and we thought you were just messing with us.

2098
02:37:04,500 --> 02:37:08,740
That would have been so funny. That would have been funny. That would have been a first for Scrapyard Wars

2099
02:37:08,740 --> 02:37:12,180
is one team actually buying an item from the other team.

2100
02:37:12,180 --> 02:37:15,660
I hope it happens someday. I'm not gonna force it. No, no, no.

2101
02:37:15,660 --> 02:37:18,140
But I hope it happens organically someday. It would be very funny.

2102
02:37:19,700 --> 02:37:22,780
Oh man. Anyway, if you wanna see us talk about this

2103
02:37:22,780 --> 02:37:26,100
for seven hours straight. Oh yeah, right, we should move on. Check out the Floatplane episode.

2104
02:37:26,100 --> 02:37:30,780
Floatplane episode. Oh, also there's another Floatplane exclusive this week,

2105
02:37:30,780 --> 02:37:34,300
Luke and Sammy visit IFA. That is, wow, that is quite the thumbnail.

2106
02:37:34,300 --> 02:37:38,140
We did that on purpose. Okay. Yeah.

2107
02:37:38,140 --> 02:37:41,340
Yeah, well, people like this. I was talking about, heck yeah.

2108
02:37:41,340 --> 02:37:45,300
I was talking about how, with Sammy, I was talking about how thumbnails with mouth open

2109
02:37:45,300 --> 02:37:49,100
get less views. Really? And then he was like, it's Floatplane. Let's just send it.

2110
02:37:49,100 --> 02:37:52,300
I was like, okay, sure. Interesting.

2111
02:37:52,300 --> 02:37:57,820
Is there a correct amount of mouth open? This is apparently a Mr. Beast thing.

2112
02:37:57,820 --> 02:38:01,420
So if you look at like, let's see here.

2113
02:38:01,420 --> 02:38:03,620
If you look at his stuff lately.

2114
02:38:09,100 --> 02:38:12,820
Yeah. So like if his mouth is open, his teeth are clenched.

2115
02:38:13,700 --> 02:38:16,700
Like he doesn't have mouth gimp. Oh yeah. Interesting.

2116
02:38:16,700 --> 02:38:19,620
No mouth gimp. None.

2117
02:38:21,620 --> 02:38:24,820
Oh yeah. There's a little bit right there. Little one, little one, tiny, tiny, tiny.

2118
02:38:24,820 --> 02:38:28,060
And there's technically a little one right here. Yeah, okay.

2119
02:38:28,060 --> 02:38:33,100
But only like very, very minor. None of the like, that we're used to from back in the day.

2120
02:38:33,100 --> 02:38:37,740
Right, yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's been going on for quite a while now.

2121
02:38:37,740 --> 02:38:41,540
Yeah, and yeah, they released a thing a while ago saying they did, they did a bunch of A-B testing

2122
02:38:41,540 --> 02:38:45,740
of like the exact same thumbnail. But just. One of them had some mouth gimp

2123
02:38:45,780 --> 02:38:48,980
and one of them didn't. And the one without mouth gimp always performed a little bit better.

2124
02:38:48,980 --> 02:38:50,780
Interesting. Yeah.

2125
02:38:52,300 --> 02:38:56,780
How do you know there's differences with different audiences and stuff? Like I don't know that that's gonna work

2126
02:38:56,780 --> 02:39:01,780
for whatever different YouTube channel, but yeah.

2127
02:39:02,820 --> 02:39:08,140
All right. Why don't we jump into whatever we're supposed to do? So I said Jimmy showing off those new veneers.

2128
02:39:08,140 --> 02:39:10,180
As far as my understanding goes, those are Photoshopped.

2129
02:39:11,700 --> 02:39:16,180
There's some weird, I watched a thing on it. There's a weird, they do it NVIDIA sometimes too.

2130
02:39:16,180 --> 02:39:19,380
And he'll like turn it away and it'll like turn off and you can see his normal teeth

2131
02:39:19,380 --> 02:39:22,940
and then he'll turn back and they like clip back in. Odd.

2132
02:39:22,940 --> 02:39:26,460
Really? Odd choice, yeah. Oh.

2133
02:39:28,420 --> 02:39:32,060
Really? Apparently he has, it wasn't Photoshop, he has new fake teeth.

2134
02:39:32,060 --> 02:39:35,740
Oh. Crazy.

2135
02:39:35,740 --> 02:39:39,620
Don't veneers like ruin your natural teeth though? I have no idea, dude.

2136
02:39:39,620 --> 02:39:42,940
I thought they did. I thought they have to like shave down

2137
02:39:42,940 --> 02:39:45,700
part of your teeth in order to apply them or something.

2138
02:39:46,780 --> 02:39:51,780
That always seemed like an odd choice to me.

2139
02:39:51,780 --> 02:39:55,020
And this is even coming from someone

2140
02:39:55,020 --> 02:39:58,300
who has like done face treatments and you know, whatever, right?

2141
02:39:58,300 --> 02:40:03,300
Like I've done Morpheus 8, I've done Micro Needling.

2142
02:40:06,820 --> 02:40:10,020
Yes, your actual teeth are just little spikes

2143
02:40:10,020 --> 02:40:12,020
you've gotta be kidding me. Crazy.

2144
02:40:13,500 --> 02:40:17,220
They're covers more than like gluing plastic to the front of them.

2145
02:40:17,220 --> 02:40:19,340
You have to permanently have them?

2146
02:40:20,460 --> 02:40:23,940
Shut up. I have heard about regrowing teeth though.

2147
02:40:23,940 --> 02:40:29,300
They're working on, I think it's a drug treatment, right? Where they can like stimulate teeth regrowth or something?

2148
02:40:30,620 --> 02:40:31,460
Huh.

2149
02:40:33,980 --> 02:40:37,660
It's just better protecting the net. Crowns do the same thing,

2150
02:40:37,660 --> 02:40:42,060
but basically just artificial protecting the natural part.

2151
02:40:42,100 --> 02:40:45,980
But can you have issues where like the real teeth under it

2152
02:40:45,980 --> 02:40:49,860
are like impossible to clean and therefore they can like decay or something?

2153
02:40:49,860 --> 02:40:54,460
I don't know. I haven't looked into, I haven't looked into veneers a ton.

2154
02:40:56,580 --> 02:40:59,660
Yeah, so they did use AI to edit his teeth for a while.

2155
02:41:01,940 --> 02:41:06,740
But apparently- Hold on, hold on. Okay, where? Cause I had seen stuff like this before.

2156
02:41:07,620 --> 02:41:10,140
So you see like here, it's just a flat line

2157
02:41:11,100 --> 02:41:14,620
and then he actually has like shape to his teeth. Right, right, right, right.

2158
02:41:14,620 --> 02:41:17,980
As people do. I'd seen someone make like a,

2159
02:41:17,980 --> 02:41:21,900
there's a whole video with like a lot more detail on it.

2160
02:41:21,900 --> 02:41:25,180
Yeah, I just, I can't imagine carrying that much about Jimmy's teeth, but sure.

2161
02:41:25,180 --> 02:41:30,180
Oh no, I thought it was interesting like the lengths they would go to and the fact that they went to those lengths

2162
02:41:30,180 --> 02:41:34,580
but then also left examples of it like clipping back

2163
02:41:34,580 --> 02:41:38,140
to real blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But yeah, I guess he has veneers now.

2164
02:41:38,140 --> 02:41:42,780
I don't know. Dude, if I had major dental issues, I think I would just go straight

2165
02:41:42,780 --> 02:41:45,100
to like solid white gold teeth.

2166
02:41:47,620 --> 02:41:50,700
Yeah, why do they have to be separate? Can't they just be like one?

2167
02:41:50,700 --> 02:41:54,980
Well, no, no, no, no. Individual solid one teeth. One tooth.

2168
02:41:54,980 --> 02:41:59,780
I think I would go, I think I'd go straight for just the implants. Dan just wants like a-

2169
02:41:59,780 --> 02:42:03,060
Like a, like you ever, you get the mouth guard. It's a blade.

2170
02:42:03,060 --> 02:42:06,380
Just give me a giant gold blade.

2171
02:42:06,540 --> 02:42:11,100
Are you carrying the mask look?

2172
02:42:11,100 --> 02:42:13,460
Yeah, there you go. So muckin'.

2173
02:42:15,460 --> 02:42:17,300
That's an old reference. Horrifying.

2174
02:42:18,620 --> 02:42:23,500
What are we on right now? Sponsors. Okay, the show is brought to you by Squarespace.

2175
02:42:23,500 --> 02:42:27,180
Sometimes trying to get creative can feel like a never ending roundabout.

2176
02:42:27,180 --> 02:42:30,220
Always progressing, but with no end in sight.

2177
02:42:30,220 --> 02:42:34,300
Don't let that be the case with your website. Use Squarespace instead.

2178
02:42:34,380 --> 02:42:38,020
Start from scratch with their blueprints. Professionally curated templates

2179
02:42:38,020 --> 02:42:42,980
that give you the inspiration to get building. Then customize to your heart's desire

2180
02:42:42,980 --> 02:42:46,620
with their fluid engine editor, which uses intuitive drag and drop elements

2181
02:42:46,620 --> 02:42:50,940
instead of relying on cumbersome coding and outdated tools.

2182
02:42:50,940 --> 02:42:55,820
If you ever get stuck, their AI assistant can guide you through the next steps in just a few prompts.

2183
02:42:55,820 --> 02:42:59,060
And after you've got all that sorted, you can tap into their other tools

2184
02:42:59,060 --> 02:43:05,300
like Squarespace Payments, which allows prospective customers to buy your product or service directly on the site.

2185
02:43:05,300 --> 02:43:09,220
Go to squarespace.com slash WAN to see for yourself how easy it is

2186
02:43:09,220 --> 02:43:14,500
to build your own website and save 10% using our code WAN.

2187
02:43:14,500 --> 02:43:20,300
The show is also brought to you by Delta Hub. It says, Luke, tell the story about the magnificent pizza

2188
02:43:20,300 --> 02:43:24,020
you and Sammy had in Berlin. I have no context for this.

2189
02:43:24,020 --> 02:43:28,420
So the only, don't go away, stop it. I'm trying to put it on Luke Cam.

2190
02:43:28,420 --> 02:43:31,860
Okay, there we go. What are your notes for this?

2191
02:43:31,860 --> 02:43:35,220
Oh. Wait, what? What are your notes for this? Okay.

2192
02:43:35,220 --> 02:43:38,980
Well, Luke, tell the story of the magnificent pizza you had in Berlin.

2193
02:43:38,980 --> 02:43:42,460
I will not touch the thing. What are dance notes? I don't know. I don't know.

2194
02:43:42,460 --> 02:43:46,500
There's anything prepped. They never tell me anything. Okay, well, a long time ago,

2195
02:43:47,940 --> 02:43:52,540
I've been to Germany either two or three times.

2196
02:43:52,540 --> 02:43:56,180
Was it two separate trips for Sennheiser and Cherry?

2197
02:43:56,180 --> 02:43:59,220
It was one trip. So I've been to Germany twice then.

2198
02:43:59,580 --> 02:44:04,020
And one time I did some adventuring with Brandon afterwards, the last time I was there.

2199
02:44:04,020 --> 02:44:07,540
And we went to specifically one place that had pizza,

2200
02:44:07,540 --> 02:44:11,700
and only one place that had pizza, and we ordered a margarita pizza,

2201
02:44:11,700 --> 02:44:16,500
and it was the best pizza I've ever had. Nice. So when I was going around doing random stuff

2202
02:44:16,500 --> 02:44:20,780
with Sammy this time, I was telling him all about the pizza and how good it was, and I was saying he should get one.

2203
02:44:20,780 --> 02:44:24,140
We ordered a margarita pizza, and do you have a photo of it?

2204
02:44:24,140 --> 02:44:28,020
Is that what you have? No. Then what's prepped?

2205
02:44:28,140 --> 02:44:31,740
The shot calls, like regular cam.

2206
02:44:31,740 --> 02:44:35,180
There's no luke cam call in this. Okay, sure. And now there's no music.

2207
02:44:35,180 --> 02:44:38,660
Anyways, when I think of margarita pizza,

2208
02:44:38,660 --> 02:44:41,740
this is what I think of, which is what comes up

2209
02:44:41,740 --> 02:44:45,420
when you search margarita pizza and Google images. That's a lot.

2210
02:44:45,420 --> 02:44:50,220
Margarita pizza, and you get a pizza. Disappointingly, there is no alcoholic slushy beverage.

2211
02:44:51,300 --> 02:44:54,820
I mean, sure, it says pizza. I mean, yeah, sure. Margarita pizza.

2212
02:44:54,820 --> 02:45:00,180
I'm sure I could make an AI image of that. Vlime and tequila. But you see, like this is kind of the quintessential one

2213
02:45:00,180 --> 02:45:04,300
that I think of. Sure, yep. You have, you can usually see the sauce

2214
02:45:04,300 --> 02:45:09,900
between the mozzarella slices. You've got basil, like a pretty substantial amount

2215
02:45:09,900 --> 02:45:14,920
of basil. Cool. We got a pizza that looked a lot more like this,

2216
02:45:14,920 --> 02:45:20,820
except just no green at all. Disappoint. It was just what I would call, as a North American,

2217
02:45:20,820 --> 02:45:24,340
a cheese pizza. Yes. That's it.

2218
02:45:24,340 --> 02:45:29,940
I thought we got pizza scammed because they had a photo that looked almost exactly like this

2219
02:45:29,940 --> 02:45:34,100
on, I think it's an AI photo, but they had a photo that looked almost exactly like that

2220
02:45:34,100 --> 02:45:38,260
on their menu. We ordered a Margarita pizza. Are you going somewhere with this?

2221
02:45:38,260 --> 02:45:41,180
No, I don't know why this is part of the announcement. So you had bad food.

2222
02:45:42,440 --> 02:45:45,760
Yeah, basically. We then asked Flo Plain, and apparently

2223
02:45:45,760 --> 02:45:49,780
this is a Margarita pizza? Yeah, it is. That sucks.

2224
02:45:49,780 --> 02:45:53,660
I hate that that's true. Yeah, they both, it basically just means cheese pizza, but.

2225
02:45:53,660 --> 02:45:57,900
That's ridiculous. The fancier ones are just like nicer cheese pizza.

2226
02:45:57,900 --> 02:46:02,220
Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, I've had Margarita pizza that is that, and I don't order Margarita pizza anymore

2227
02:46:02,220 --> 02:46:05,820
because every time I order it, it is deeply disappointing.

2228
02:46:05,820 --> 02:46:09,860
So speaking of that, I guess.

2229
02:46:09,860 --> 02:46:13,860
Oh, you know what's also disappointing?

2230
02:46:13,860 --> 02:46:18,900
Wrist pain. Improper wrist support during your nine to five

2231
02:46:18,900 --> 02:46:22,900
could lead to repetitive strain injuries putting you out of commission.

2232
02:46:22,980 --> 02:46:26,060
Delta Hub's Carpo wrist rest aims to address that,

2233
02:46:26,060 --> 02:46:30,140
but with a twist. It can glide with your hand as it moves around your desk,

2234
02:46:30,140 --> 02:46:34,980
which is great for transitioning from mouse to keyboard and for gamers who play with lower sensitivity.

2235
02:46:34,980 --> 02:46:38,280
A bunch of folks here at LMG use them so it was a natural fit to collaborate

2236
02:46:38,280 --> 02:46:41,980
and to bring you an exclusive LTT edition of the Carpo.

2237
02:46:41,980 --> 02:46:48,580
Click our link in the description today to pick up one for your mousing hand or a right left bundle for a discounted price.

2238
02:46:48,580 --> 02:46:52,180
So we were just supposed to talk until someone said the word disappointing.

2239
02:46:53,460 --> 02:46:58,540
I have no idea. No, you will answer for this. I don't think it was Dan's plan.

2240
02:46:58,540 --> 02:47:01,780
Regular cam. Luke, tell a story about the magnificent pizza

2241
02:47:01,780 --> 02:47:06,140
you and Sammy. Linus cam, you know what's also disappointing wrist pain.

2242
02:47:07,620 --> 02:47:11,700
So I was video insert number 21-3 injury.

2243
02:47:11,700 --> 02:47:15,900
You got it, you nailed it. I mean, I'm not good. I was trying to get us there and then you just.

2244
02:47:15,900 --> 02:47:21,980
This is also the first time I've seen you so the wide cam in a shot call.

2245
02:47:22,020 --> 02:47:25,300
True, cool. Okay. Anyways, it pisses me off

2246
02:47:25,300 --> 02:47:29,340
that those are both Margarita pizzas. I think that is stupid.

2247
02:47:29,340 --> 02:47:32,340
And I think people need to get their act together and figure that out.

2248
02:47:32,340 --> 02:47:36,780
Cause that is absurd. You know what else is stupid? Google's Android shenanigans

2249
02:47:36,780 --> 02:47:40,940
and they've been officially called out by a GraphinOS developer

2250
02:47:40,940 --> 02:47:43,300
on the official GraphinOS Twitter account

2251
02:47:44,180 --> 02:47:48,380
for recent moves that make GraphinOS less secure.

2252
02:47:49,140 --> 02:47:54,140
Ugh. It's a strange time to talk about Android protecting users.

2253
02:47:54,140 --> 02:47:58,740
Android recently changed the security update system in a way which massively downgrades security

2254
02:47:58,740 --> 02:48:01,980
and puts users at risk. Commercial exploit companies and governments

2255
02:48:01,980 --> 02:48:05,220
can easily obtain access to broadly distributed partner previews.

2256
02:48:05,220 --> 02:48:08,900
Adding four month delays for patches is atrocious.

2257
02:48:08,900 --> 02:48:12,140
Also in June, you claimed AOSP wasn't going anywhere.

2258
02:48:12,140 --> 02:48:16,140
You then proceeded to not release the July or August monthly updates to AOSP

2259
02:48:16,140 --> 02:48:20,380
followed by not releasing the September quarterly update. You officially communicated to the media

2260
02:48:20,380 --> 02:48:25,460
and said AOSP releases were continuing followed by three months of not publishing releases to it.

2261
02:48:25,460 --> 02:48:28,260
Why should people believe what you say about side loading?

2262
02:48:32,460 --> 02:48:36,100
Well said. Well said, GraphinOS.

2263
02:48:36,100 --> 02:48:39,580
Thank you very much for that. Google, get it together please.

2264
02:48:39,580 --> 02:48:43,900
Cause I actually do want Apple to have competition. I think it's good for them.

2265
02:48:44,900 --> 02:48:49,380
Intel, speaking of things that happen when you don't have enough competition,

2266
02:48:49,380 --> 02:48:52,460
they just love 14 nanometers so much

2267
02:48:52,460 --> 02:48:57,460
that they launched yet another 14 nanometer chip this week.

2268
02:48:57,740 --> 02:49:04,020
The source here is Tom's hardware who is reporting on Intel's new 14 nanometer

2269
02:49:04,020 --> 02:49:09,500
and I kid you not, plus plus plus desktop CPU

2270
02:49:09,500 --> 02:49:14,500
that it turns out is just a 10th gen CPU from,

2271
02:49:15,660 --> 02:49:23,500
is it four years ago? The Core i5-110 appears as far as anybody can tell

2272
02:49:23,740 --> 02:49:28,740
to be literally a Core i5-10400 from 2020.

2273
02:49:30,300 --> 02:49:33,900
So sorry, excuse me, five years ago.

2274
02:49:33,900 --> 02:49:37,100
Here's a comparison page of the two CPUs

2275
02:49:37,140 --> 02:49:41,940
from Intel directly. So we're gonna start at the bottom, okay?

2276
02:49:41,940 --> 02:49:47,620
Just for funsies. VTX with extended page tables, yes, yes.

2277
02:49:47,620 --> 02:49:51,180
Virtualization technology for directed IO, yes, yes.

2278
02:49:51,180 --> 02:49:54,980
Virtualization technology, yes, yes.

2279
02:49:54,980 --> 02:49:58,140
Intel stable IT platform program, no.

2280
02:49:58,140 --> 02:50:01,500
Oh, also no. I'm not gonna read all of these.

2281
02:50:01,500 --> 02:50:07,060
So we're just gonna go through and see if there's any differences

2282
02:50:07,060 --> 02:50:10,740
that Intel can identify between these two chips.

2283
02:50:10,740 --> 02:50:14,540
Any at all Intel waiting for it.

2284
02:50:14,540 --> 02:50:21,180
No, no, yes, yes. Package size, identical, T-junction identical.

2285
02:50:21,180 --> 02:50:26,060
LGA 1200, brother. You are launching a CPU

2286
02:50:27,120 --> 02:50:31,140
on a two platforms ago socket.

2287
02:50:31,180 --> 02:50:34,860
Are you kidding me right now?

2288
02:50:34,860 --> 02:50:38,780
And it's not like when AMD launches a new AM4 chip

2289
02:50:38,780 --> 02:50:41,940
and we're like, hey, bro move.

2290
02:50:41,940 --> 02:50:47,820
Cause there's a lot of AM4 users out there who are running legitimately like much older chips

2291
02:50:47,820 --> 02:50:51,780
that might need an upgrade now. This is like, you only supported this

2292
02:50:51,780 --> 02:50:56,940
for a couple real generations and then some like weird refreshes.

2293
02:50:56,940 --> 02:51:01,940
Some Faco ones. So people who have this like already have a 10th gen CPU.

2294
02:51:01,940 --> 02:51:09,020
This isn't an upgrade to any of that. Okay, scalability, one S only, one S.

2295
02:51:09,020 --> 02:51:12,460
That means the same thing. Yeah, so far as far as I can tell

2296
02:51:12,460 --> 02:51:18,820
the differences are actually just the same. They're just written different. The device ID is the same.

2297
02:51:18,820 --> 02:51:21,860
Do we need to keep going? Let's keep going.

2298
02:51:21,860 --> 02:51:25,340
Quick sync, open GL support. Oh, Lordy.

2299
02:51:26,260 --> 02:51:29,780
Yeah, that's all the same. That's all the same.

2300
02:51:29,780 --> 02:51:34,780
Oh, 1.10 versus 1.1 gigahertz.

2301
02:51:39,300 --> 02:51:44,060
Data entry is really fun. It's DDR4.

2302
02:51:44,060 --> 02:51:47,460
They're launching a DDR4 CPU today.

2303
02:51:48,900 --> 02:51:53,620
What, why, why call it a new CPU?

2304
02:51:53,620 --> 02:51:58,180
Literally, the only difference is the launch date.

2305
02:52:01,860 --> 02:52:03,140
These are all just zeros.

2306
02:52:05,940 --> 02:52:07,100
And the name.

2307
02:52:08,980 --> 02:52:12,700
You didn't even f**king discount it.

2308
02:52:14,140 --> 02:52:17,420
Now, to be clear, the fact that they are the same price

2309
02:52:17,420 --> 02:52:21,540
on Arc, or sorry, Intel.com slash content,

2310
02:52:21,580 --> 02:52:24,980
which used to be called Arc, and used to have a cool brand, and was way cooler.

2311
02:52:24,980 --> 02:52:28,740
Way cooler. Just because it says $200 on Arc

2312
02:52:28,740 --> 02:52:32,620
does not mean that Intel expects anybody to pay $200 for these.

2313
02:52:32,620 --> 02:52:37,580
What is realistically probably happening is these are for developing markets

2314
02:52:37,580 --> 02:52:41,300
where there's still a good volume of like old socket,

2315
02:52:41,300 --> 02:52:46,020
old chipset motherboards, and they can kind of dump them into markets

2316
02:52:46,020 --> 02:52:50,500
that are, for example, that have extremely high taxes

2317
02:52:50,500 --> 02:52:52,980
on the form of tariffs on imports, for instance.

2318
02:52:55,060 --> 02:52:59,420
And so it's just at a high price to make sure that nobody outside of those markets

2319
02:52:59,420 --> 02:53:02,780
is gonna be caring about this and clamoring for them.

2320
02:53:02,780 --> 02:53:07,780
But like, can we just stop with the deceptive branding?

2321
02:53:09,460 --> 02:53:12,620
This is not a new product. It doesn't need a new name.

2322
02:53:12,620 --> 02:53:17,220
Just sell cheap 10, 400s.

2323
02:53:17,220 --> 02:53:21,060
I don't get it.

2324
02:53:22,020 --> 02:53:25,060
Yeah, I don't understand what the- Oh, I do get it. I just hate it.

2325
02:53:25,060 --> 02:53:30,300
What is it then? What does the product launch help with? The product launch helps make it look new

2326
02:53:30,300 --> 02:53:34,700
to people who don't know, and to people who won't do this comparison.

2327
02:53:34,700 --> 02:53:38,380
So someone who, like, think about the way that, okay, I'm gonna have to come up with an example.

2328
02:53:38,380 --> 02:53:44,220
I was gonna say blender, but you would research the crap out of a blender. So think about the way that you would buy-

2329
02:53:44,220 --> 02:53:47,260
Good luck finding an example. You don't buy anything.

2330
02:53:47,260 --> 02:53:53,380
And if I do, I research the crap out of it. Think about the way that Emma would buy a knife.

2331
02:53:53,380 --> 02:53:57,300
Okay. She would go to a store,

2332
02:53:57,300 --> 02:54:00,940
and there would be some knives.

2333
02:54:00,940 --> 02:54:04,220
And if one of them was the same knife from five years ago,

2334
02:54:04,220 --> 02:54:08,260
but with like, but it was, you know, we had a new handle on it

2335
02:54:08,260 --> 02:54:11,500
that made it look like the knife from this year, which realistically, if it's a knife-

2336
02:54:11,500 --> 02:54:14,980
And it was called the 2025 edition or whatever. That might actually be the only change.

2337
02:54:15,180 --> 02:54:18,820
She'd be like, that's the new one. And so to the person who's going in

2338
02:54:18,820 --> 02:54:23,820
and not like an enthusiast for knives or, you know, whatever,

2339
02:54:24,020 --> 02:54:27,380
they just go into a store and this is a, this is Core Ultra.

2340
02:54:27,380 --> 02:54:32,980
I love how you, you picked a category that we have like, solid ones in because I looked it up.

2341
02:54:36,020 --> 02:54:41,780
Yeah. Well, like, look, the point is that most people don't care about the things

2342
02:54:41,780 --> 02:54:47,300
that don't really impact them that much. I suspect you wouldn't research a water bottle very much.

2343
02:54:47,300 --> 02:54:50,780
No. I think that you would just buy a water bottle and you'd be like-

2344
02:54:50,780 --> 02:54:54,740
Before LTT ones, I just had an Lgine ones. Yeah. It would just be kind of whatever.

2345
02:54:54,740 --> 02:54:59,780
That is fair. And so there are, there are absolutely categories

2346
02:54:59,780 --> 02:55:05,020
that we're not enthusiasts for. And that's who they're targeting with this. I mean, it's not like a, it's not like a cutting edge,

2347
02:55:05,020 --> 02:55:08,740
top of the line gaming processor. It's like a, it's a six core 10th gen, right?

2348
02:55:08,740 --> 02:55:11,780
So, which to be clear is actually still gonna provide

2349
02:55:11,780 --> 02:55:15,300
pretty decently good gaming experience

2350
02:55:15,300 --> 02:55:19,740
if it's paired with a, with a, like an appropriate GPU. It's a, it's a, it's a good chip.

2351
02:55:19,740 --> 02:55:23,100
And so my problem is not that they're selling it. My problem is just like,

2352
02:55:23,100 --> 02:55:26,540
why do we have to have this deceptive branding? I hate it.

2353
02:55:26,540 --> 02:55:28,260
Just tell me what it is.

2354
02:55:30,780 --> 02:55:34,660
That is my end of my TED talk.

2355
02:55:34,660 --> 02:55:39,660
eBay restricts items over $500 from shipping to the US

2356
02:55:40,340 --> 02:55:43,740
On August 27th, eBay started enforcing an update

2357
02:55:43,740 --> 02:55:47,300
to its seller listing policy for sales to the United States

2358
02:55:47,300 --> 02:55:50,500
to limit the sale of items from certain countries

2359
02:55:50,500 --> 02:55:54,660
to $500 including shipping. According to the policy page on eBay,

2360
02:55:54,660 --> 02:56:00,940
there had previously been restrictions in place, but for items up to $2,500 in value.

2361
02:56:00,940 --> 02:56:04,860
The list of restricted countries is available on the eBay source link here.

2362
02:56:04,860 --> 02:56:07,980
And eBay states that the policy is to ensure

2363
02:56:07,980 --> 02:56:11,020
a good shopping experience for US buyers

2364
02:56:11,020 --> 02:56:18,580
and maintain high quality shipping performance. I've actually seen quite a few Americans upset

2365
02:56:18,580 --> 02:56:21,620
about shipping times for, I saw,

2366
02:56:21,620 --> 02:56:26,140
I saw one that was about dbrand, which we are our sponsor team is looking into.

2367
02:56:26,140 --> 02:56:30,140
But what I will say is probably it is,

2368
02:56:30,140 --> 02:56:36,020
it has been very challenging to get shipping, to get shipments into the US in a timely

2369
02:56:36,020 --> 02:56:39,060
and cost effective manner with all of the tariff.

2370
02:56:39,060 --> 02:56:44,660
Will they won't, they will, they won't, they yes, they will, but not like this sea sawing

2371
02:56:44,660 --> 02:56:49,260
that has been going on. So this is, this is a practical impact.

2372
02:56:49,260 --> 02:56:54,780
This is interesting because I looked up the list that they linked and like Canada's not on here.

2373
02:56:54,780 --> 02:56:57,940
Why Portugal, but not Spain. Germany's not on here.

2374
02:56:57,940 --> 02:56:59,540
Switzerland's not on here.

2375
02:57:03,640 --> 02:57:09,900
No France. But French Polynesia is, and French Guinea.

2376
02:57:09,900 --> 02:57:14,080
Guyana, I don't know. Singapore is, that's kind of surprising to me.

2377
02:57:14,920 --> 02:57:17,220
I don't know, man. Is Taiwan on here?

2378
02:57:19,420 --> 02:57:22,640
Nope. Are you saying Taiwan is a country? Yeah.

2379
02:57:23,520 --> 02:57:25,480
Based. Hell yeah.

2380
02:57:26,960 --> 02:57:30,920
Based as fuck. Hell yeah. I just, is China on here?

2381
02:57:32,840 --> 02:57:35,520
Oh, I don't know. No.

2382
02:57:37,520 --> 02:57:41,960
What's the decision making here? I don't know.

2383
02:57:41,960 --> 02:57:46,440
I just am saying, yeah, this is what, this is what happens when things are confusing.

2384
02:57:46,440 --> 02:57:52,560
Things get confusing. Hey though, Nintendo got another video game patent.

2385
02:57:52,560 --> 02:57:55,600
Yay, I know you were excited to talk about this.

2386
02:57:55,600 --> 02:57:59,000
It's interesting. I don't obviously like it,

2387
02:57:59,000 --> 02:58:03,720
but I think it's something to be aware of and it's interesting. Nintendo has been granted a patent

2388
02:58:03,720 --> 02:58:09,400
that covers the ability to summon another character and make them battle on your behalf,

2389
02:58:09,400 --> 02:58:14,240
which by itself is like, oh God.

2390
02:58:14,240 --> 02:58:19,520
It then goes on to describe things in more detail. A console or other system is being used

2391
02:58:19,520 --> 02:58:24,160
to run a video game from storage. That was kind of weird.

2392
02:58:24,160 --> 02:58:28,720
Just off the hop. I thought that was weird because why wouldn't a game cart count?

2393
02:58:28,720 --> 02:58:31,880
Maybe that counts as a form of storage. I don't know.

2394
02:58:31,880 --> 02:58:35,160
The player controls, right? Yeah, anything is storage. Yeah, exactly.

2395
02:58:35,160 --> 02:58:39,040
So it's playing a game. A CD is storage. A floppy disk is storage.

2396
02:58:39,040 --> 02:58:42,800
RAM is a form of storage. I mean, I wouldn't call it storage.

2397
02:58:42,800 --> 02:58:44,080
It technically is though.

2398
02:58:46,440 --> 02:58:51,440
If I had in my house a cremation, you know, oven, right?

2399
02:58:56,080 --> 02:58:59,440
Would you call it storage? I mean, in that case.

2400
02:58:59,440 --> 02:59:03,280
If every time the power goes out, it stores, the fire goes on.

2401
02:59:03,280 --> 02:59:06,960
Dust. Like, I don't think your fireplace is storage.

2402
02:59:07,960 --> 02:59:11,880
Sorry, I'm sorry. I disagree with you. So if you loaded a game into RAM,

2403
02:59:11,880 --> 02:59:15,760
you could avoid their patent? Sure.

2404
02:59:15,760 --> 02:59:19,320
That's my interpretation, not a lawyer. Go ahead. I don't think it is.

2405
02:59:19,320 --> 02:59:23,880
I think it is storage. But anyways, a console or other system is being used to run a game from storage.

2406
02:59:23,880 --> 02:59:27,640
The player controls a character in a virtual space.

2407
02:59:27,640 --> 02:59:32,680
The player can perform an input command to make a sub character appear,

2408
02:59:32,680 --> 02:59:37,760
i.e., summon another character. If there's an enemy where the sub character appears,

2409
02:59:37,760 --> 02:59:41,840
the player can control a battle between the sub character and the enemy.

2410
02:59:41,840 --> 02:59:47,640
And if there's no enemy where the sub character appears, the sub character will automatically move around.

2411
02:59:47,640 --> 02:59:53,920
Okay, isn't this just a familiar? Is Nintendo, do they, they got this patent?

2412
02:59:53,920 --> 02:59:58,400
The player, yeah. The player can move the sub character to a different location on the field.

2413
02:59:58,400 --> 03:00:02,480
And if an enemy is there, they can control the battle between the sub character and the enemy.

2414
03:00:02,480 --> 03:00:05,440
I think one of the minor differences is that

2415
03:00:06,640 --> 03:00:10,720
the battle wouldn't be between like you and your thing.

2416
03:00:10,720 --> 03:00:14,320
It's just a battle between the thing

2417
03:00:14,320 --> 03:00:17,280
that you're controlling and one enemy in this case.

2418
03:00:18,320 --> 03:00:20,320
You're not involved other than commands.

2419
03:00:21,320 --> 03:00:26,320
Because I thought like basically any video game warlock,

2420
03:00:27,320 --> 03:00:34,560
like think Diablo, not warlock, I guess, Diablo necromancer, you're summoning a thing.

2421
03:00:34,560 --> 03:00:38,240
It can go out and fight things, but it doesn't perfectly follow this

2422
03:00:38,240 --> 03:00:41,360
because it's not like one summon

2423
03:00:41,360 --> 03:00:45,960
because in Diablo usually it's multiple and they just kind of hover around you.

2424
03:00:45,960 --> 03:00:50,160
You don't like send them out and it doesn't create like one-on-one battles.

2425
03:00:50,160 --> 03:00:53,960
They just all fight, right? So it's like it doesn't perfect,

2426
03:00:53,960 --> 03:00:58,720
the like Necro example doesn't perfectly fit this thing.

2427
03:00:58,720 --> 03:00:59,680
I don't think.

2428
03:01:02,000 --> 03:01:07,560
The reason this could be scarier than a traditional trademark is in the case of IP law,

2429
03:01:07,560 --> 03:01:12,480
Nintendo is required to fight and protect itself with a trademark or else they could lose it.

2430
03:01:12,480 --> 03:01:16,640
Patents are not like that, meaning Nintendo technically has to pick

2431
03:01:16,640 --> 03:01:22,920
and choose privileges on which infringement they want to pursue, which gives them even more power.

2432
03:01:22,920 --> 03:01:26,920
They can let people that they like get away with things and they can go after others

2433
03:01:26,920 --> 03:01:29,280
and that won't make them lose this patent.

2434
03:01:30,280 --> 03:01:33,800
Discussion question, is there a universe out there where a patent on a video game mechanic like this

2435
03:01:33,800 --> 03:01:37,360
could be good for the consumer and I can't imagine one?

2436
03:01:37,360 --> 03:01:43,040
Although it is getting really weird with basically every popular game

2437
03:01:43,040 --> 03:01:45,360
getting immediately ripped off by Roblox.

2438
03:01:46,200 --> 03:01:49,680
Hmm, so I'm not sure how that works.

2439
03:01:49,680 --> 03:01:53,520
Someone in Floatplane chat said apparently a part of the patent is that the thing

2440
03:01:53,520 --> 03:01:58,760
has to be stored in a sphere. So basically they're trying to patent Pokemon battles,

2441
03:01:58,760 --> 03:01:59,640
essentially.

2442
03:02:03,960 --> 03:02:08,960
Man, could Nintendo just, like Nintendo has no problem

2443
03:02:10,000 --> 03:02:13,720
being the beneficiary of innovative gameplay mechanics.

2444
03:02:13,720 --> 03:02:17,560
I don't believe that Mario Kart was the first racing game, for instance.

2445
03:02:20,720 --> 03:02:24,520
I mean, they're like sports titles, we're definitely not the first sports titles.

2446
03:02:24,520 --> 03:02:29,360
But when they're on the other side of the equation, they behave like petulant children.

2447
03:02:31,360 --> 03:02:35,080
I don't think there's really any good justification for this.

2448
03:02:35,080 --> 03:02:38,400
Adam added to this. Okay, hear me out.

2449
03:02:38,400 --> 03:02:43,920
Could we create a system where large Corpo plaintiffs are allowed to sue

2450
03:02:43,920 --> 03:02:46,680
but they have to cover the legal costs of the defendant

2451
03:02:47,680 --> 03:02:49,240
until the decision is made?

2452
03:02:51,200 --> 03:02:54,280
That would actually be kind of a cool way

2453
03:02:54,280 --> 03:02:58,040
to disincentivize like bullcrap lawsuits.

2454
03:02:58,040 --> 03:02:59,320
It's very interesting.

2455
03:03:04,720 --> 03:03:08,680
Could be extended to DMCA takedowns. If Universal wants to sue you, they can

2456
03:03:08,680 --> 03:03:12,000
but they have to pay your court fees while you defend yourself.

2457
03:03:12,000 --> 03:03:19,120
That would be kind of wild. I think it's really interesting. I think there's some concerns of like.

2458
03:03:19,120 --> 03:03:22,320
And to be clear, until they win, if they win, then you're responsible

2459
03:03:22,320 --> 03:03:26,040
for whatever the judgment is. I still, I kind of like this. I think it's worth doing.

2460
03:03:26,040 --> 03:03:31,480
I do think there's some concerns. Like I think people might get a false sense of security.

2461
03:03:31,480 --> 03:03:35,320
They're like, I'm obviously gonna win this. And then they have infinite money on their end

2462
03:03:35,320 --> 03:03:38,920
and they just win through money, which is like a thing that you can do. I think you could set it up

2463
03:03:38,920 --> 03:03:42,680
so that you have to provide the same funding to both sides.

2464
03:03:42,680 --> 03:03:47,520
So if you basically, you have to, so you have to in escrow or whatever.

2465
03:03:47,520 --> 03:03:52,120
You have to like, you have to, or not in escrow because then the defendant wouldn't actually have it.

2466
03:03:52,120 --> 03:03:56,880
But whatever you spend pursuing, pursuing it.

2467
03:03:56,880 --> 03:04:01,560
I think it would have to only apply to like individuals. That's also cool and interesting.

2468
03:04:01,560 --> 03:04:05,440
But it comes with its own pitfalls in my mind because again, false sense of security,

2469
03:04:05,440 --> 03:04:08,560
if you think you're gonna win, this could ruin you for your entire life.

2470
03:04:09,000 --> 03:04:12,920
Versus a slap on the wrist for the game company. But you'll have a super cool team of lawyers

2471
03:04:12,920 --> 03:04:14,520
to tell you you're not gonna win.

2472
03:04:16,200 --> 03:04:19,280
And then you'll still do some. And then you'll settle. Not as much I guess, yeah.

2473
03:04:19,280 --> 03:04:23,360
So you'll have to reach some kind of settlement. The point is just that you wouldn't be able to

2474
03:04:23,360 --> 03:04:27,560
intimidate people. I think it's cool in general. You wouldn't be able to just. There's definitely an idea here

2475
03:04:27,560 --> 03:04:30,840
that I think we should do as if we could do anything.

2476
03:04:30,840 --> 03:04:33,840
Yeah, when we're in charge of Canada,

2477
03:04:33,840 --> 03:04:37,640
then we will be sure to implement something like that.

2478
03:04:37,680 --> 03:04:40,880
Running Marathon. Yeah, actually kind of cool.

2479
03:04:40,880 --> 03:04:45,080
Carney ran a marathon. Oh, did he? Got a pretty good time apparently. Oh, okay, man, good for him.

2480
03:04:45,080 --> 03:04:48,160
I didn't actually look into it because I don't care.

2481
03:04:48,160 --> 03:04:53,600
I saw. But I mean, that's neat. I saw that there's talk of as part of the rift

2482
03:04:53,600 --> 03:04:58,080
with our Southern neighbors and attempts to mend fences

2483
03:04:58,080 --> 03:05:05,000
with our far Eastern neighbors, perhaps getting rid of the 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs.

2484
03:05:05,840 --> 03:05:10,840
I've heard very rumor mill things about this.

2485
03:05:11,640 --> 03:05:15,280
It's very interesting. Prime Minister Carney, if you're watching,

2486
03:05:16,880 --> 03:05:21,400
I have a humble request. If you're going to do this,

2487
03:05:21,400 --> 03:05:25,240
I want a commitment from the Chinese EV manufacturers

2488
03:05:25,240 --> 03:05:31,560
that they are gonna replace the manufacturing jobs that we are going to be losing, especially in Ontario

2489
03:05:32,000 --> 03:05:37,000
with their own manufacturing within our borders

2490
03:05:38,400 --> 03:05:42,400
that will at some point probably end up serving other parts of North America as well.

2491
03:05:42,400 --> 03:05:46,800
I think that's one concession. I also think that we should be getting strong investment

2492
03:05:46,800 --> 03:05:54,240
from those companies in renewable energy here to support the EV charging that we're going to need

2493
03:05:54,240 --> 03:05:59,360
to do a lot more of because we're gonna have like $11,000 EVs.

2494
03:06:02,560 --> 03:06:08,240
That is my two cents on the matter. I also think that we need to carefully consider

2495
03:06:08,240 --> 03:06:13,240
our strategic minerals and not give up too much of that

2496
03:06:13,320 --> 03:06:16,640
as part of this whole process. Because I suspect that would be part of,

2497
03:06:16,640 --> 03:06:20,640
well, look, I have no problem with the Chinese mining the minerals

2498
03:06:20,640 --> 03:06:24,280
if they're also manufacturing the batteries and EVs

2499
03:06:24,280 --> 03:06:31,280
within Canada. They can capitalistically benefit from that harvesting

2500
03:06:31,520 --> 03:06:35,040
by selling within our market. They can have access to the market.

2501
03:06:35,040 --> 03:06:39,400
I mean, I don't think I'm gonna get my deal because we also need like canola farmers

2502
03:06:39,400 --> 03:06:46,520
to be able to export to China and stuff. There's a whole thing there. But I want some automotive manufacturing on the continent.

2503
03:06:46,520 --> 03:06:51,240
You can't just like wage. We are the only ones who can manufacture cars

2504
03:06:51,240 --> 03:06:54,600
anymore warfare. I don't think that's cool.

2505
03:06:54,600 --> 03:06:57,800
Yeah, I think that's exactly what they wanna do though. Well, that is exactly what they wanna do.

2506
03:06:57,800 --> 03:07:01,040
Yeah. How would you tackle the jobs thing?

2507
03:07:01,040 --> 03:07:04,960
Because this is a song that has been saying many a time

2508
03:07:04,960 --> 03:07:08,320
where a company is like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're gonna get a ton of jobs here.

2509
03:07:08,320 --> 03:07:12,560
We're gonna build this like massive factory and then it's 90% automated and there's 10 jobs.

2510
03:07:13,880 --> 03:07:18,320
So do you do like it has to be X amount of jobs

2511
03:07:18,320 --> 03:07:23,320
that are in some certain level of average income

2512
03:07:24,040 --> 03:07:27,800
versus the country's average is whatever, I don't know.

2513
03:07:27,800 --> 03:07:31,680
I mean, it obviously needs some consideration because I don't really care if they're manufacturing jobs.

2514
03:07:31,680 --> 03:07:39,400
They could be service jobs. They could be whatever. Yeah, it doesn't matter. As long as there is a net positive workforce benefit

2515
03:07:40,400 --> 03:07:44,800
to having this work being done here. I think I actually do care.

2516
03:07:44,800 --> 03:07:49,080
You care about specifically manufacturing because remember that automated equipment

2517
03:07:49,080 --> 03:07:53,600
is on our soil now. I care in the sense that it should be defined.

2518
03:07:53,600 --> 03:07:56,680
I don't necessarily care that it needs to be manufacturing

2519
03:07:56,680 --> 03:08:02,160
because the reason why I'm saying I do care is because you just had service jobs.

2520
03:08:02,160 --> 03:08:05,280
If they end up just like opening a bunch of restaurants and then just like-

2521
03:08:05,280 --> 03:08:11,160
No, not service jobs. Okay, sure. I see what you mean. So I meant service like in the like main-

2522
03:08:11,160 --> 03:08:14,360
Just like with Scrapyard Wars, they're gonna try to work around.

2523
03:08:14,360 --> 03:08:18,200
Yeah, if there's anyone who would outstrap Yard Wars us, it would be the CCP.

2524
03:08:20,200 --> 03:08:24,120
FanboyNZ says, hot take Linus, Canada car makers should compete.

2525
03:08:25,480 --> 03:08:27,960
Which ones? Beaumont?

2526
03:08:29,600 --> 03:08:34,880
Our domestic automotive industry was gutted decades ago by the Americans.

2527
03:08:34,880 --> 03:08:38,600
So we're basically just trading one for another

2528
03:08:38,600 --> 03:08:42,080
at this point. Make Bombardier, make cars.

2529
03:08:43,680 --> 03:08:47,520
You mean Bombardier? Bombardier, Bombardier.

2530
03:08:47,520 --> 03:08:51,760
I want a Bombardier car, dude. WTF is a Beaumont.

2531
03:08:53,840 --> 03:08:58,840
Beaumont, Canadian car manufacturer.

2532
03:08:58,880 --> 03:09:04,040
Here you go. Here you go. Beaumont automobile.

2533
03:09:04,040 --> 03:09:09,040
This is a 1968 Beaumont SD 396.

2534
03:09:09,120 --> 03:09:12,720
Dude, they're kind of sick. Not gonna lie, pretty cool.

2535
03:09:12,720 --> 03:09:14,080
Looks a lot like a GTO.

2536
03:09:17,600 --> 03:09:21,240
Midsize automobiles. Oh, it was a make,

2537
03:09:21,240 --> 03:09:25,240
made by General Motors of Canada. So even then it was like,

2538
03:09:25,240 --> 03:09:29,800
it was based on the Chevelle. It was barely even Canadian. Dude, a Bombardier car would go sick.

2539
03:09:29,800 --> 03:09:32,800
Go really hard though. Yeah, over the snow.

2540
03:09:32,800 --> 03:09:38,880
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They make planes. A lot of companies that made planes went into cars.

2541
03:09:38,880 --> 03:09:42,800
They actually make the sickest plane right now.

2542
03:09:42,800 --> 03:09:44,960
The Global 8000 is like.

2543
03:09:49,400 --> 03:09:52,440
I'm just saying the BMW logo is a propeller.

2544
03:09:54,680 --> 03:09:58,520
There are lots of car companies that made planes. Oh, this thing.

2545
03:09:58,520 --> 03:10:04,440
Proud Canadian here, boys. It is the fastest business jet in the world.

2546
03:10:04,440 --> 03:10:09,120
It has a range of 8000 nautical miles.

2547
03:10:10,280 --> 03:10:13,840
This thing can go almost 15,000 kilometers

2548
03:10:13,840 --> 03:10:19,120
on a single fill up. And it travels at Mach 0.94.

2549
03:10:19,120 --> 03:10:23,460
Wow. I think it's the fastest plane since the Concorde.

2550
03:10:24,460 --> 03:10:28,980
What don't they have that? Well, that carries passengers.

2551
03:10:30,020 --> 03:10:34,020
Okay. Yeah, obviously a fighter jet or whatever. No, no, no, no, no.

2552
03:10:34,020 --> 03:10:37,020
I thought they had like a new, new, new Concorde thing going on.

2553
03:10:37,020 --> 03:10:41,940
I think there's something in development from, what's their nuts, Boeing or something,

2554
03:10:41,940 --> 03:10:44,220
but Lord only knows if that'll ever be finished.

2555
03:10:46,740 --> 03:10:50,620
Seven of lesbians ask, does Bombardier even exist anymore?

2556
03:10:50,620 --> 03:10:54,260
I thought they were gutted by private equity. I don't know. It seemed to be doing okay.

2557
03:10:55,660 --> 03:10:59,140
Shows you what I know. If that's true, but no, that's not my understanding.

2558
03:10:59,140 --> 03:11:02,900
I thought Bombardier is kind of doing stuff at this point. Into the airplane is misinformation.

2559
03:11:02,900 --> 03:11:07,660
Regardless, my point was that a lot of companies that make cars used to make airplanes, and that's true.

2560
03:11:07,660 --> 03:11:09,860
I don't really care too much about the logo.

2561
03:11:12,140 --> 03:11:15,340
Anyway, yeah, global 8000 looks sick.

2562
03:11:15,340 --> 03:11:22,700
Could literally never afford one. Ed Zeem in Floatplane Chat says $78 million price tag.

2563
03:11:23,180 --> 03:11:26,940
Uh, uh, uh, uh.

2564
03:11:26,940 --> 03:11:30,180
Hold on. Do they have any interior shots?

2565
03:11:30,180 --> 03:11:33,820
I mean, the interior is basically gonna, look how big the Windows are. My goodness, dude.

2566
03:11:33,820 --> 03:11:36,820
Like what, are you kidding me?

2567
03:11:36,820 --> 03:11:39,820
The healthiest of cabins. Look at this.

2568
03:11:41,500 --> 03:11:44,020
Oh my. Look at this. God.

2569
03:11:45,020 --> 03:11:50,020
I guess I'll just sleep in my, like, I don't know.

2570
03:11:50,580 --> 03:11:54,140
That's at least a full, right? Is that a full-size bed? Yeah.

2571
03:11:54,140 --> 03:11:57,420
It looks like a full to me. And here's the cuck chair built right in.

2572
03:12:01,420 --> 03:12:04,620
Rough. Sorry, what's rough?

2573
03:12:04,620 --> 03:12:09,140
Being. Not the fabric on the cuck chair.

2574
03:12:09,140 --> 03:12:11,300
I'll say that one. Yeah, no, definitely not.

2575
03:12:12,140 --> 03:12:15,380
Okay. Anywho, what are we supposed to be talking about?

2576
03:12:15,380 --> 03:12:17,060
Ah, yes. Okay.

2577
03:12:19,540 --> 03:12:24,660
Okay. I just liked this because it's what Owen,

2578
03:12:26,580 --> 03:12:30,500
Uncle Owen and Aunt Baru did in Star Wars. Oh yeah.

2579
03:12:30,500 --> 03:12:33,980
This is kinda. It's a moisture evaporator.

2580
03:12:33,980 --> 03:12:38,460
What are they called in Star Wars? Are they called moisture evaporators or?

2581
03:12:38,460 --> 03:12:43,020
I thought they had like a few different contraptions. I don't know, but basically.

2582
03:12:43,020 --> 03:12:46,140
Moisture evaporator? Well, yeah, that doesn't make any sense. What are they called?

2583
03:12:46,140 --> 03:12:49,540
Well, just moisture farmer. No, no, I think the thing's called something.

2584
03:12:49,540 --> 03:12:53,420
He's not talking about the profession. Moisture evaporators. Yeah, moisture evaporator.

2585
03:12:53,420 --> 03:12:57,060
Wait, that doesn't make sense either. Moisture evaporators?

2586
03:12:57,060 --> 03:13:00,460
Yeah, that doesn't make sense because that would turn it to vapor. Seems weird.

2587
03:13:00,460 --> 03:13:03,460
Moisture evaporators is right. It says pancreas. I trust pancreas.

2588
03:13:03,460 --> 03:13:07,220
Moisture evaporators, I mean, it's Star Wars technology.

2589
03:13:07,220 --> 03:13:11,940
It doesn't matter. It is now there's Star Wars technology. And that was all I really had to say about that.

2590
03:13:11,940 --> 03:13:16,220
Yeah. I just saw this thing and I was like, oh my God, it's Star Wars.

2591
03:13:16,220 --> 03:13:19,340
MIT is testing a new technology to pull water from the air.

2592
03:13:19,340 --> 03:13:22,740
The idea is not new, but the hydrogel technology they're using is.

2593
03:13:22,740 --> 03:13:28,100
It's a window-sized panel made of absorbent hydrogel infused with salt folded up and closed in glass.

2594
03:13:28,100 --> 03:13:31,740
The material absorbs water vapor from the air and swells,

2595
03:13:31,740 --> 03:13:36,940
then it shrinks as it evaporates. The water condenses on the glass and flows down a tube.

2596
03:13:36,940 --> 03:13:39,940
Currently it makes about two thirds of a cup of water a day,

2597
03:13:39,940 --> 03:13:43,420
but requires zero power.

2598
03:13:43,420 --> 03:13:48,060
The hope is that these could be scaled up and improved to provide drinking water for a single household.

2599
03:13:48,060 --> 03:13:52,180
Could be great for emergency situations. And the discussion question is,

2600
03:13:52,180 --> 03:13:55,500
how much moisture was Uncle Owen farming?

2601
03:13:55,500 --> 03:13:58,500
I don't know. Presumably quite a bit

2602
03:13:58,500 --> 03:14:02,500
because he had like hectares of these moisture evaporators.

2603
03:14:02,500 --> 03:14:05,980
So Star Wars. I think they kind of brush over it,

2604
03:14:05,980 --> 03:14:07,980
but I don't think...

2605
03:14:09,980 --> 03:14:15,220
Tatooine have lakes? I don't think any at all. So I think all of the water for that entire planet

2606
03:14:15,220 --> 03:14:18,700
was from these moisture farms. So it must have been like an incredible amount.

2607
03:14:18,700 --> 03:14:22,340
Yeah. Why did anybody settle there?

2608
03:14:22,340 --> 03:14:27,100
It's crazy. Mexico is taxing video games.

2609
03:14:27,100 --> 03:14:30,420
I mean, you can say that about places in the world now

2610
03:14:30,420 --> 03:14:34,740
in real life. Well, yeah, but in the world now in real life, they were like always there.

2611
03:14:34,740 --> 03:14:38,860
But like Tatooine is like space travel. Like I understand why the Tuscans are there.

2612
03:14:38,860 --> 03:14:43,620
I don't understand why humans bothered. It's like, do you really have to imperial,

2613
03:14:43,620 --> 03:14:46,580
like conquer and occupy everything?

2614
03:14:50,420 --> 03:14:53,740
Mexico has published their 2026 economic package

2615
03:14:53,740 --> 03:14:57,140
and under the healthy taxes section,

2616
03:14:57,140 --> 03:15:04,140
there is a mention of an 8% special tax on digital services offering violent video games.

2617
03:15:04,140 --> 03:15:08,220
Here's their reason. Recent studies have found a relationship

2618
03:15:08,220 --> 03:15:13,820
between the use of violent video games and higher levels of aggression among adolescents,

2619
03:15:13,820 --> 03:15:16,860
as well as negative social and psychological effects,

2620
03:15:16,860 --> 03:15:19,260
such as isolation and anxiety.

2621
03:15:20,700 --> 03:15:24,340
Referring to the study, the effect of video games on social psychological

2622
03:15:24,340 --> 03:15:28,300
and physiological variables in children and adolescents. There we go.

2623
03:15:28,300 --> 03:15:32,060
The article itself, as some people have pointed out, is actually a well-written study.

2624
03:15:32,060 --> 03:15:37,700
The problem is it's from 2012 and has outdated information such as references to MySpace.

2625
03:15:37,700 --> 03:15:42,340
Others pointed out that the economic package also cherry-picks certain words and cases from the study

2626
03:15:42,340 --> 03:15:45,060
to justify the tax even further.

2627
03:15:47,580 --> 03:15:52,620
Our discussion question is, while the narrative of video games cause violence

2628
03:15:52,620 --> 03:15:57,140
continues to parade through politics and often has studies disproving it,

2629
03:15:57,140 --> 03:16:01,460
even if it were true, is an 8% tax the correct solution

2630
03:16:01,460 --> 03:16:06,060
if they were trying to somehow mitigate the supposed damage that these video games are doing?

2631
03:16:08,340 --> 03:16:12,380
No. So the very fact that their solution is to tax it by 8%

2632
03:16:13,540 --> 03:16:17,860
belies that they obviously don't actually consider this

2633
03:16:17,860 --> 03:16:22,260
to be a problem that they need to solve because if they did, they would have a real solution,

2634
03:16:22,260 --> 03:16:28,060
not just a silly little tax. So basically, yeah, it's a steam tax,

2635
03:16:29,060 --> 03:16:33,740
which, you know, our moisture evaporators

2636
03:16:33,740 --> 03:16:37,500
are only getting two thirds of a cup a day. We can't pay a steam tax.

2637
03:16:40,060 --> 03:16:43,660
Oh, man. I love that you tripped over the name

2638
03:16:43,660 --> 03:16:46,740
cause it's like actually so bad of a name. Yeah.

2639
03:16:46,740 --> 03:16:47,580
Oh, well.

2640
03:16:50,460 --> 03:16:54,260
Yikes. I don't have a lot to say to that other than yikes.

2641
03:16:54,260 --> 03:16:58,380
Sure. Google admits the open web is in rapid decline.

2642
03:16:58,380 --> 03:17:02,860
Google's lawyers in a September 5th court filing

2643
03:17:02,860 --> 03:17:09,420
said the fact is that today, the open web is already in rapid decline.

2644
03:17:09,420 --> 03:17:13,220
They were arguing that the plaintiff's divestiture proposal

2645
03:17:13,220 --> 03:17:16,820
would only accelerate that decline, harming publishers who currently rely on

2646
03:17:16,820 --> 03:17:21,860
open web display advertising revenue. Notable change from May comments

2647
03:17:21,860 --> 03:17:24,900
by Google VP of Search, Nick Fox,

2648
03:17:24,900 --> 03:17:29,740
saying in quotes, from our point of view, the web is thriving.

2649
03:17:30,860 --> 03:17:35,860
But there's good news. A co-creator of RSS, oh yeah, this is actually really interesting.

2650
03:17:35,860 --> 03:17:39,220
A co-creator of RSS, Eckert Walter,

2651
03:17:39,220 --> 03:17:44,100
helped launch RSL, or really simple licensing.

2652
03:17:44,100 --> 03:17:47,260
A free and open standard that RSTechnica calls

2653
03:17:47,260 --> 03:17:50,700
beefed uprobots.txt instructions,

2654
03:17:50,700 --> 03:17:54,620
which is a solution to AI discriminating click-throughs,

2655
03:17:54,620 --> 03:17:57,900
decimating click-throughs, or pay-per-crawl.

2656
03:17:59,540 --> 03:18:03,300
The discussion question is, will LLMs pay up against RSL?

2657
03:18:03,300 --> 03:18:08,060
I mean, no. I mean, they've stolen everything up until now. So what are we, do we really think

2658
03:18:08,060 --> 03:18:10,260
there's any hope that this will fix anything?

2659
03:18:12,780 --> 03:18:17,280
I think that it will help lay legal framework for fighting.

2660
03:18:18,260 --> 03:18:21,580
I think that's really the only chance. I don't think it's actually gonna stop anything

2661
03:18:21,580 --> 03:18:25,940
from happening, but it should put some ammunition

2662
03:18:25,940 --> 03:18:28,140
on the side of people that are upset about it.

2663
03:18:32,180 --> 03:18:37,060
We've got a couple more today. Warner Brothers is an unlikely ally

2664
03:18:37,060 --> 03:18:42,060
in the fight against AI slop and has sued mid-journey.

2665
03:18:42,580 --> 03:18:49,060
On Thursday, Warner Bros. Discovery filed a lawsuit against AI company mid-journey for purposefully

2666
03:18:49,100 --> 03:18:52,660
infringing copyrighted work to the tune of either

2667
03:18:52,660 --> 03:18:58,180
$150,000 per infringed work, which could add up to hundreds of millions,

2668
03:18:58,180 --> 03:19:03,820
or all profits that mid-journey has made related to WB properties.

2669
03:19:03,820 --> 03:19:07,580
In the 101-page suit, Warner Bros. lawyers write,

2670
03:19:07,580 --> 03:19:12,540
evidently mid-journey will not stop stealing property until a court orders it to stop.

2671
03:19:12,540 --> 03:19:17,660
Mid-journey's large-scale infringement is systematic, ongoing, and willful,

2672
03:19:17,660 --> 03:19:21,340
and Warner Bros. Discovery has been and continues to be substantially

2673
03:19:21,340 --> 03:19:24,520
and irreparably harmed by it.

2674
03:19:25,660 --> 03:19:32,060
There's actually some really good examples. Let me check if the polygon, yeah, this is amazing.

2675
03:19:33,020 --> 03:19:37,140
So this is from polygon here. Dan, do you mind linking to the article

2676
03:19:37,140 --> 03:19:42,820
if people wanna check out more of the examples? But this is pretty incriminating.

2677
03:19:43,820 --> 03:19:48,820
Not only did mid-journey clearly output

2678
03:19:49,220 --> 03:19:57,100
know what Superman looks like, but like specifically, specifically, exactly

2679
03:19:58,140 --> 03:20:02,820
what Warner Bros. copyrighted character. And now look, we can have an awful-

2680
03:20:02,820 --> 03:20:06,660
It sped out you. We can have an awful, I don't think that was mid-journey.

2681
03:20:06,660 --> 03:20:11,500
We can have an awful long conversation about whether Warner Bros. fairly compensated

2682
03:20:11,500 --> 03:20:15,060
the creators of various DC characters and properties

2683
03:20:15,060 --> 03:20:18,300
and all of that. That's a longer conversation,

2684
03:20:19,740 --> 03:20:22,300
but what I will say is

2685
03:20:24,580 --> 03:20:27,820
mid-journey looks pretty guilty here.

2686
03:20:27,820 --> 03:20:33,260
And in the current legal framework that is Warner Bros. IP,

2687
03:20:36,340 --> 03:20:40,260
this seems like a pretty big yikes. We just have to find out.

2688
03:20:40,260 --> 03:20:43,900
Again, as all of this makes its way

2689
03:20:43,900 --> 03:20:48,060
through the legal system, are there going to be any consequences?

2690
03:20:48,060 --> 03:20:51,900
And will those consequences be lasting?

2691
03:20:51,900 --> 03:20:57,420
Because the way that I see it, now that all of this is kind of out there,

2692
03:20:57,420 --> 03:21:00,740
there's no way to put Pandora back in her box.

2693
03:21:00,740 --> 03:21:04,740
It's out of the box. So what happens then?

2694
03:21:04,740 --> 03:21:09,260
Does mid-journey go bankrupt, but then a bunch of people

2695
03:21:09,260 --> 03:21:13,100
who have been paying themselves out of mid-journey's investment funds

2696
03:21:13,100 --> 03:21:18,340
and now have their own personal hordes of wealth just start another one and then use what,

2697
03:21:18,340 --> 03:21:21,580
well, mid-journey stole that. I mean, it's just out there now.

2698
03:21:21,580 --> 03:21:25,020
I'm honestly likely finding the same investors again in a lot of cases.

2699
03:21:25,020 --> 03:21:26,700
Same key investors at least.

2700
03:21:28,780 --> 03:21:32,140
Yeah, yeah. Osiris asks, are you going to be seeing

2701
03:21:32,140 --> 03:21:34,340
Super Mario Galaxy in theaters?

2702
03:21:35,340 --> 03:21:38,220
Honestly, I'd rather watch it at home. Is that the name of the sequel?

2703
03:21:39,580 --> 03:21:41,860
I'm amazed they went straight to the galaxy.

2704
03:21:42,980 --> 03:21:46,940
Okay, cool. Yeah, I'd rather watch it at home. Dude, I got a new TV.

2705
03:21:50,780 --> 03:21:54,140
It happened so often. No, it doesn't even happen that often.

2706
03:21:54,140 --> 03:21:57,420
I had the T-Sale for two years. Oh wow. Almost two years.

2707
03:21:57,420 --> 03:21:59,700
It felt a lot shorter than that. Yeah, dude.

2708
03:22:00,980 --> 03:22:02,080
Is that much better?

2709
03:22:05,340 --> 03:22:08,700
It doesn't have as many backlight zones, by a lot,

2710
03:22:08,700 --> 03:22:12,900
which for a TV that size is a bit of a challenge. Can you notice it?

2711
03:22:12,900 --> 03:22:17,220
Yes, but it has an RGB backlight.

2712
03:22:19,180 --> 03:22:23,780
RGB, gamer. Okay, but it actually has benefits for image quality

2713
03:22:23,780 --> 03:22:28,020
because instead of shining white through an LCD, you're shining color.

2714
03:22:28,020 --> 03:22:31,660
So the color volume that it can achieve, and the reason I thought of it is because

2715
03:22:31,660 --> 03:22:35,980
Super Mario Bros. is a movie that looks amazing on it.

2716
03:22:35,980 --> 03:22:39,140
Also, it uses a standard Vesa bolt pattern,

2717
03:22:39,140 --> 03:22:44,900
so I can actually put it on like a standard wall mount, and I can bring it a little closer.

2718
03:22:44,900 --> 03:22:49,940
So my 116 inch TV can be closer to the actual viewing size

2719
03:22:49,940 --> 03:22:53,500
of the 120 inch projector that I used to have mounted right to the wall.

2720
03:22:53,500 --> 03:22:54,860
So, dude.

2721
03:22:57,260 --> 03:23:01,180
Yeah, I would actually seriously rather watch it at home.

2722
03:23:02,220 --> 03:23:05,780
Sweet, heck yeah. Oh, unique username says you've already talked about it.

2723
03:23:05,780 --> 03:23:08,820
Okay, well, it's actually installed now. We installed it on, or not installed.

2724
03:23:08,820 --> 03:23:15,060
We opened it on Monday. I haven't installed it yet. So the video of us opening it and trying it is in the works,

2725
03:23:15,060 --> 03:23:18,380
and then we're actually gonna throw the full gamut

2726
03:23:18,380 --> 03:23:21,540
of Labs testing at it and do an installation vlog,

2727
03:23:21,540 --> 03:23:25,700
and that'll be a second video because it's really expensive. Okay, so I'm not gonna play it because even though

2728
03:23:25,700 --> 03:23:29,300
it's a trailer, we get copyright strikes for trailers all the time.

2729
03:23:29,300 --> 03:23:34,820
Okay. But that looks like what it's called. 13 hours ago from IGN, it's probably real.

2730
03:23:34,820 --> 03:23:38,820
Oh yeah, cool. Official title announcement, Nintendo Direct,

2731
03:23:38,820 --> 03:23:41,820
the Super Mario Galaxy movie.

2732
03:23:43,140 --> 03:23:48,660
Kind of surprised by the title, just like you said. A long time ago in a Super Mario Galaxy far, far away.

2733
03:23:48,660 --> 03:23:52,740
Lossless streaming on Spotify is coming. No, but for real this time.

2734
03:23:52,740 --> 03:23:58,080
It'll be rolling out to more than 50 markets through October with some already starting to get access now.

2735
03:23:58,080 --> 03:24:01,640
The service is going to be included for premium subscribers.

2736
03:24:01,640 --> 03:24:06,940
It won't be a new subscription tier, and it's been a long time coming with rumors starting as early as 2017.

2737
03:24:06,940 --> 03:24:11,100
Coming later this year. Oh, oh, so you're coming later this year in 2021

2738
03:24:11,100 --> 03:24:15,060
and almost ready in May of 2024. Discussion question, do you care?

2739
03:24:17,420 --> 03:24:21,500
Yeah, a little bit, and it just feels like being on

2740
03:24:21,500 --> 03:24:27,340
whatever it's even called now at YouTube Music is just a more and more sad experience over time.

2741
03:24:27,340 --> 03:24:31,100
Really? Well, it used to be Google Play Music. Oh yeah, Google Play was way better.

2742
03:24:31,100 --> 03:24:34,300
And it was actually like a way better app.

2743
03:24:34,300 --> 03:24:38,960
Yeah. And then they just made it way worse. And then I don't think,

2744
03:24:40,980 --> 03:24:44,740
I can't name anything that improved about it since they made the change.

2745
03:24:44,740 --> 03:24:48,740
I can name a couple. What's improved? It's way easier to access music videos.

2746
03:24:49,740 --> 03:24:53,940
No, sorry. Since after the change happened,

2747
03:24:54,660 --> 03:24:58,700
what has, like, okay, we have YouTube Music now.

2748
03:24:58,700 --> 03:25:04,380
Yeah. We're on here now. It's good, cool, whatever. YouTube Music is, it's better for watching music videos

2749
03:25:04,380 --> 03:25:09,380
if you care about that. No, I know. Oh. After we got to, so we got to platform, cool.

2750
03:25:09,380 --> 03:25:12,940
We are here. It's better for finding music videos. What has now happened?

2751
03:25:12,940 --> 03:25:14,300
Because it's been years.

2752
03:25:19,620 --> 03:25:23,780
I can't think of a new feature that came out. The only thing I can think of is they do recaps now,

2753
03:25:23,780 --> 03:25:26,980
which they just stole from Spotify and I don't care about.

2754
03:25:26,980 --> 03:25:28,940
Yeah, I skipped them. Yeah.

2755
03:25:30,460 --> 03:25:35,260
What needs to improve? The user experience of YouTube Music

2756
03:25:35,260 --> 03:25:39,700
is just worse in a lot of ways. Bury the hatchet with Sonos.

2757
03:25:39,700 --> 03:25:43,700
So I can just cast to my Sonos speakers, please.

2758
03:25:43,700 --> 03:25:46,900
The Google Play Sonos experience was,

2759
03:25:46,900 --> 03:25:51,780
or the Google Play Music, oh, it was so good. I would just, I would be listening to my headphones

2760
03:25:51,780 --> 03:25:55,620
as I walked in the door and then I would just have my YouTube,

2761
03:25:55,620 --> 03:25:58,980
or my Google Play Music app open and I would just click cast

2762
03:25:58,980 --> 03:26:04,580
and then select the speaker and it would just cast. And I, like, it wouldn't even practically skip a beat.

2763
03:26:04,580 --> 03:26:08,460
It was amazing. I wish, considering they killed the podcast app,

2764
03:26:08,460 --> 03:26:11,540
if they made podcasts within YouTube Music better,

2765
03:26:11,540 --> 03:26:14,860
I know they're there, but if they made it better, that would be nice. Sorry, handyman.

2766
03:26:14,860 --> 03:26:20,020
I don't think the experience of podcast stuff within YouTube Music is all that fantastic.

2767
03:26:20,020 --> 03:26:24,300
As for lossless formats, honestly, I mean, I don't know, I don't know if I really care.

2768
03:26:24,300 --> 03:26:27,940
I'm, Pankrat's posted in here. I'm just waiting to see the videos

2769
03:26:27,940 --> 03:26:31,620
about how people can definitely hear the difference on their, like, Bluetooth earbuds.

2770
03:26:31,620 --> 03:26:35,940
Yeah, yeah, me too. I think there's a lot of,

2771
03:26:37,020 --> 03:26:40,780
it takes a really, really, really fine setup

2772
03:26:40,780 --> 03:26:44,900
where even, like, the trained ear can, like, really tell the difference between lossless

2773
03:26:44,900 --> 03:26:51,220
and a pretty decently high-quality stream. So for me, I think having lossless just generally

2774
03:26:51,860 --> 03:26:55,780
if I know it's real, it communicates to me that I'm not getting cheaped out on an audio quality.

2775
03:26:55,780 --> 03:27:00,540
But the thing is that it's not, oh, I guess, yeah, not cheaped out on in terms of, like, the cost of delivery,

2776
03:27:00,540 --> 03:27:04,780
but, like, not, the lossless master might not even necessarily be the best one.

2777
03:27:04,780 --> 03:27:08,580
That's fair. So, good luck, everyone.

2778
03:27:08,580 --> 03:27:13,580
I mean, I've danced in a lot of cases. It probably is, but... I don't think I have a particularly fantastic ear,

2779
03:27:13,580 --> 03:27:18,580
but, yeah, yeah, I don't know.

2780
03:27:19,260 --> 03:27:22,420
Yeah, I don't know. That's a good point about the master

2781
03:27:22,420 --> 03:27:24,340
not being necessarily better.

2782
03:27:26,020 --> 03:27:31,860
Flush door handles on EVs can fail, so China is now banning them.

2783
03:27:31,860 --> 03:27:35,940
Whoops, I just moved a thing. With modern EVs and cars, the style has trended towards

2784
03:27:35,940 --> 03:27:40,060
flush and sleek door handle designs. The problem is that in the event of a power loss,

2785
03:27:40,060 --> 03:27:45,100
these handles can prevent people from accessing the car. The main concern comes from emergency situations,

2786
03:27:45,100 --> 03:27:50,300
like first responders not being able to assist easily. China is apparently looking at banning these style handles

2787
03:27:50,300 --> 03:27:54,300
by 2027 for these reasons. And our discussion question here is,

2788
03:27:54,300 --> 03:27:58,660
what is your favorite breakfast cereal? I thought the handle thing is interesting,

2789
03:27:58,660 --> 03:28:02,140
because some of them, you can kind of press in one side,

2790
03:28:02,140 --> 03:28:05,220
and it pops the handle out. Yeah, but it's still powered.

2791
03:28:05,220 --> 03:28:09,220
So it requires power to do that, because there's an assumption with EVs

2792
03:28:09,220 --> 03:28:12,340
that they are always powered, because they don't just run off

2793
03:28:12,340 --> 03:28:15,900
of, like, a 12-volt lead-acid battery for basic functions.

2794
03:28:15,900 --> 03:28:20,380
Like, you've got access to a high-voltage, high-amperage battery pack, because if you didn't,

2795
03:28:20,380 --> 03:28:24,060
then it would be completely off, no one would be operating it. So you press the...

2796
03:28:24,060 --> 03:28:27,820
Isn't it just a lever? It's not just a lever? You press the side and...

2797
03:28:27,820 --> 03:28:32,460
It depends. Not all of them are the same. So there's ones that, when you press it,

2798
03:28:32,460 --> 03:28:39,580
it's like you're opening it, or like the actual retraction, like on the Model S,

2799
03:28:39,580 --> 03:28:43,860
it wasn't even a lever, if I recall correctly. It was, like, fully motorized that it would come out.

2800
03:28:43,860 --> 03:28:44,940
So it just depends.

2801
03:28:46,900 --> 03:28:52,180
I don't know, I've been partial to mini-weights lately, but Elijah said I couldn't think of a good question for this,

2802
03:28:52,180 --> 03:28:57,180
since it seems like a no-duh moment. Thanks, Elijah. I remember the last time I had cereal, so I don't know.

2803
03:28:57,180 --> 03:29:00,900
Oh, yeah, I guess it's just, like, too many calories for you now, too much sugar.

2804
03:29:01,900 --> 03:29:05,020
I haven't been eating as much cereal lately, either. I love cereal, but...

2805
03:29:05,020 --> 03:29:10,380
I'm unhappy. We'll get there, not yet. Yeah, yeah. LIDAR can damage your camera sensor.

2806
03:29:10,380 --> 03:29:13,980
MKBHD shared a video showing his damaged camera sensor

2807
03:29:14,460 --> 03:29:19,620
from the infrared lasers from LIDAR navigation systems on a car.

2808
03:29:19,620 --> 03:29:23,020
This is, in part, due to the Class 1 lasers coming from these sensors,

2809
03:29:23,020 --> 03:29:26,020
but also due to the focusing effect of the camera's lens.

2810
03:29:26,020 --> 03:29:30,340
Here are some shots of the damage from the LIDAR sensors.

2811
03:29:31,260 --> 03:29:34,380
Ru-ro, that's a bummer.

2812
03:29:36,700 --> 03:29:41,940
Naturally, the closer the sensor, the higher the risk of damage. The sensor-damaging lasers are in the infrared spectrum,

2813
03:29:41,940 --> 03:29:45,420
which should not pose a threat to your vision as the fluid in your eye absorbs the infrared light

2814
03:29:45,420 --> 03:29:51,460
before it would damage your retina. This is not health advice, I'm not a doctor, so feel free to keep staring directly into those Waymo's,

2815
03:29:51,460 --> 03:29:55,500
but be careful with your camera sensor. And that's our last topic,

2816
03:29:55,500 --> 03:29:58,780
so why don't we jump into Afterdark?

2817
03:29:58,780 --> 03:30:00,460
Afterdark. Let's do it.

2818
03:30:03,300 --> 03:30:06,580
Man, this felt like a long WAN Show already, didn't it?

2819
03:30:06,580 --> 03:30:11,660
I think it was. Oh, about three and a half hours. Yeah, yeah. Oh, all right, yeah.

2820
03:30:11,660 --> 03:30:15,420
Wow, neat. So we started like mostly on time.

2821
03:30:15,420 --> 03:30:18,860
No, I'm agreeing. No, he's mocking. He's sarcastic. He is mocking you.

2822
03:30:18,860 --> 03:30:22,500
See, that's what I said. It's very easy. That's what I thought. He's just a very mockable.

2823
03:30:22,500 --> 03:30:23,340
Be gone.

2824
03:30:27,340 --> 03:30:31,220
My goodness. Hey, Linus, I'm a huge crosscode fan.

2825
03:30:31,220 --> 03:30:36,140
What made you a fan of the game? Also, are you excited for alabaster dawn?

2826
03:30:36,140 --> 03:30:38,220
Is that their new game? Have they named it?

2827
03:30:40,620 --> 03:30:45,180
What is this? Two and a half D-Action RPG from the creators of Crosscode.

2828
03:30:45,180 --> 03:30:48,620
Does it have a release date? Am I supposed to be excited yet?

2829
03:30:48,620 --> 03:30:51,660
I don't think so. No, to be announced.

2830
03:30:51,660 --> 03:30:54,980
Oh, alabaster dawn.

2831
03:30:54,980 --> 03:30:58,060
Ooh. Demo release date. Demo.

2832
03:30:58,060 --> 03:31:01,340
Demo, you say. Radical fish games.

2833
03:31:01,340 --> 03:31:03,540
I mean, there's like nothing on here.

2834
03:31:05,540 --> 03:31:06,820
Wishless on Steam.

2835
03:31:09,380 --> 03:31:13,820
I mean, I'll obviously play it. Crosscode is so great.

2836
03:31:13,820 --> 03:31:17,420
They had a playable demo at Gamescom 2025.

2837
03:31:17,420 --> 03:31:23,420
Okay. So I thought it was like an online demo, but yeah, I think it's just a playable demo at Gamescom.

2838
03:31:23,420 --> 03:31:27,580
Sounds great. Can't wait. I will, okay.

2839
03:31:28,700 --> 03:31:32,100
We always say don't pre-order, right?

2840
03:31:32,100 --> 03:31:36,900
But, but, but I have actually, there's some precedent for this.

2841
03:31:37,900 --> 03:31:42,580
I, so remember when I pre-ordered Bill Watterson's

2842
03:31:42,580 --> 03:31:46,140
weird adult graphic novel thing that was terrible? Yeah.

2843
03:31:46,140 --> 03:31:50,180
Okay. And remember, do you remember what I said to you though?

2844
03:31:50,180 --> 03:31:53,260
I said, no matter how bad it was. You were going to buy it anyways.

2845
03:31:53,260 --> 03:31:58,020
I could never pay Mr. Watterson enough for Calvin and Hobbes

2846
03:31:58,020 --> 03:32:02,380
and what it meant to me and how much entertainment it has given me over the years.

2847
03:32:02,380 --> 03:32:06,460
He won't take my money in the form of Hobbes plushies for my children.

2848
03:32:06,620 --> 03:32:11,020
So if I have to give him 20 bucks or whatever it is

2849
03:32:11,020 --> 03:32:16,020
for his orderly, worthless, worthless piece of garbage

2850
03:32:17,020 --> 03:32:20,180
adult novel thing, whatever the crap that was,

2851
03:32:20,180 --> 03:32:23,780
I will do it, I will do it happily. I'll do it happily.

2852
03:32:23,780 --> 03:32:25,040
I would buy it again.

2853
03:32:27,460 --> 03:32:31,260
I'm not saying a lot because it was bad. It was awful, truly awful.

2854
03:32:31,260 --> 03:32:35,540
Yeah. Just not maybe not awful, but just pointless.

2855
03:32:37,460 --> 03:32:42,460
So, Radical Fish, same book for me.

2856
03:32:43,380 --> 03:32:50,340
I didn't pay enough for crosscode. So I will just buy the new one and if it totally sucks

2857
03:32:51,740 --> 03:32:56,660
sweaty, peri-donkey dick, I will still have not paid them

2858
03:32:56,660 --> 03:33:01,660
enough for crosscode and I will happily give them the money.

2859
03:33:02,500 --> 03:33:06,460
Make sure you're wishlisting things on Steam too.

2860
03:33:06,460 --> 03:33:10,020
That's really important for creators. It is actually. Super important.

2861
03:33:10,020 --> 03:33:15,900
Up next. Why is it just a funding thing? Nope, it's a Steam algorithm thing.

2862
03:33:15,900 --> 03:33:19,460
Super, super, super important because Steam doesn't have like an engagement platform.

2863
03:33:19,460 --> 03:33:23,260
Yeah, sure. That's it. It's all that matters and it costs nothing.

2864
03:33:23,260 --> 03:33:28,660
Hey y'all, last when Linus mentioned his daughter starting to model for the P1S.

2865
03:33:28,660 --> 03:33:33,740
What modeling program do you have her using? I use Inventor at work and Exit School,

2866
03:33:33,740 --> 03:33:36,340
but money, money, money for a copy for him.

2867
03:33:38,260 --> 03:33:42,020
I think she's using like a free tier of Tinkercad.

2868
03:33:42,020 --> 03:33:46,820
It's whatever they like showed her at the little like maker classes that she goes to.

2869
03:33:46,820 --> 03:33:50,340
Is Tinkercad good? Is there something else she should be using?

2870
03:33:50,340 --> 03:33:54,980
I think that's like an open-ish source. I can't quite remember, but it's pretty good.

2871
03:33:55,940 --> 03:33:59,820
Okay, well she's using Tinkercad. Got her learning solid works, future engineer.

2872
03:34:01,780 --> 03:34:07,780
Yeah, I've been super, super impressed with her taking initiative on this.

2873
03:34:07,780 --> 03:34:11,180
So cool. Yeah, and it's- So cool.

2874
03:34:11,180 --> 03:34:15,580
She hasn't always been the most self-motivated,

2875
03:34:16,500 --> 03:34:21,500
but she is self-motivated to go and like fix it

2876
03:34:21,540 --> 03:34:26,300
when it's not working and to learn more about it.

2877
03:34:26,300 --> 03:34:29,580
Like the fact that she's going and learning about filament types and stuff,

2878
03:34:29,940 --> 03:34:37,660
I'm super impressed by because it's not that simple for like someone who's still around her first decade.

2879
03:34:40,060 --> 03:34:43,220
I'm trying to see if I have any of the stuffed animals.

2880
03:34:43,220 --> 03:34:47,540
She makes stuffed animals now. That's another thing that she's gotten into.

2881
03:34:47,540 --> 03:34:52,380
So Yvonne hasn't done the ShortCircuit on it yet, but she picked up an embroidery machine

2882
03:34:52,380 --> 03:34:55,620
and my daughter's been learning how to use that as well.

2883
03:34:55,660 --> 03:34:59,660
So she's going to be starting to learn both

2884
03:35:02,820 --> 03:35:07,580
like additive manufacturing and some more,

2885
03:35:07,580 --> 03:35:11,780
like I guess it would still be an STL, right? Like an embroidery machine, probably.

2886
03:35:12,660 --> 03:35:16,460
Is it like vectorized, I think? Yeah, I don't know, but she's-

2887
03:35:16,460 --> 03:35:19,540
SVGs and things like that. Think about it like a laser cutter.

2888
03:35:19,540 --> 03:35:22,820
Embroidery is actually really weird if you're doing CNC embroidery.

2889
03:35:22,820 --> 03:35:26,140
It's like stitch types and overlaps

2890
03:35:26,140 --> 03:35:29,540
and it can get really weird. Yeah, so she's getting into all kinds of

2891
03:35:29,540 --> 03:35:34,700
wild stuff these days. So cool, so cool. Anyway, okay.

2892
03:35:34,700 --> 03:35:38,660
Hey, LLD, love the show. Linus, I was wondering if you had any more thoughts

2893
03:35:38,660 --> 03:35:42,420
on the Oslo sleep buds after using them for a moment while.

2894
03:35:42,420 --> 03:35:49,260
My mom and I both got pairs after seeing a review and they've improved, I guess, sleep.

2895
03:35:49,260 --> 03:35:53,900
Generally, I only take those with me on trips

2896
03:35:53,900 --> 03:35:58,900
where I still find the pairing of the air pods.

2897
03:35:59,460 --> 03:36:04,540
Air pods a little bit more painless, but if I'm going to be on like a long flight

2898
03:36:04,540 --> 03:36:10,060
and I really need to not be disrupted by my air pods running out of battery

2899
03:36:10,940 --> 03:36:15,380
and I don't mind like kind of setting up because you have to pair to the base station

2900
03:36:15,380 --> 03:36:17,780
which pairs to your phone, it's a whole thing.

2901
03:36:18,780 --> 03:36:23,740
Really good product, really cool product, but I don't use them super regularly.

2902
03:36:23,740 --> 03:36:27,700
I should probably give them another shot with the latest updates at home. I haven't used them lately

2903
03:36:27,700 --> 03:36:29,900
because I haven't done any overseas travel.

2904
03:36:31,860 --> 03:36:35,140
Hello Linus, this is not a question though. Actually it is.

2905
03:36:35,140 --> 03:36:40,180
You talked before that Linux Linus is perfectly capable of building himself a PC.

2906
03:36:40,180 --> 03:36:43,540
What changed? You just thought to ask? Yeah, I just, I don't know.

2907
03:36:43,540 --> 03:36:46,980
I summoned the bravery to handle the rejection

2908
03:36:46,980 --> 03:36:49,380
if he said no and I shot my shot.

2909
03:36:50,980 --> 03:36:54,500
Hell yeah. And he was super chill and cool about it. Hell yeah.

2910
03:36:57,060 --> 03:37:00,380
With Linus Torvalds potentially coming onto the show,

2911
03:37:00,380 --> 03:37:04,420
is there a possibility to get on Richard Stallman

2912
03:37:04,420 --> 03:37:09,420
and build him a computer with non proprietary software? We need the Stallman build.

2913
03:37:09,420 --> 03:37:14,620
Why don't we see how it goes with Mr. Torvalds first and then we can kind of put together a wish list

2914
03:37:14,620 --> 03:37:18,540
of super cool computer industry luminaries

2915
03:37:18,540 --> 03:37:23,340
to bring on to the show and build computers with. I feel like for Stallman, if we did that,

2916
03:37:23,340 --> 03:37:25,740
if he was cool with it, if, if, if, if, if.

2917
03:37:28,060 --> 03:37:31,260
If risk was at a point where it was like legitimate,

2918
03:37:31,260 --> 03:37:34,980
that would be sick. We could, I mean, we could do a relatively simple build

2919
03:37:34,980 --> 03:37:39,180
and just put one of those risk five motherboards into like a framework or something.

2920
03:37:39,180 --> 03:37:41,940
Yeah. Could be neat.

2921
03:37:42,860 --> 03:37:46,220
Hello, Bob Slob and knob Linus. What was it like?

2922
03:37:46,220 --> 03:37:47,620
Like, who's who?

2923
03:37:50,820 --> 03:37:54,260
I mean, I feel like Bob is the only one that's not horrible.

2924
03:37:54,260 --> 03:37:57,060
I'll take Slob. You'll take Slob. I'll take knob.

2925
03:37:58,580 --> 03:38:02,940
You can be Bob. You know you're not the one who takes knob.

2926
03:38:05,900 --> 03:38:08,660
Anywho. Slurp.

2927
03:38:09,620 --> 03:38:14,580
Linus, what was it like holding a memory module from the Saturn V rocket?

2928
03:38:14,580 --> 03:38:18,100
Oh my God. It's after dark. Shut up.

2929
03:38:20,820 --> 03:38:25,780
It ran out of air. It was like, it was like holding history.

2930
03:38:25,780 --> 03:38:31,540
It was, it was really cool. It, it's, it's one of those emotional experiences

2931
03:38:31,540 --> 03:38:34,620
and normally holding a computer component or whatever is not.

2932
03:38:34,620 --> 03:38:40,740
It's a non-emotional experience, but the craftsmanship or should I say craftsmanship

2933
03:38:40,740 --> 03:38:44,300
because apparently the, the, The woven ones? Yeah.

2934
03:38:44,300 --> 03:38:49,380
The folks who assembled them were almost exclusively women on display was,

2935
03:38:49,380 --> 03:38:56,060
it was just so apparent. So it was somewhere in between a cool piece of technology

2936
03:38:56,060 --> 03:38:58,900
and like literal actual art. Very cool.

2937
03:39:00,220 --> 03:39:03,660
This stuff just, just for reference. Yeah.

2938
03:39:03,700 --> 03:39:07,180
Like what the heck is even going on?

2939
03:39:08,380 --> 03:39:10,460
This is like, I don't know.

2940
03:39:12,180 --> 03:39:16,180
Some of that era's technology is wild.

2941
03:39:17,540 --> 03:39:20,020
My algorithm delivered me the virtual

2942
03:39:21,580 --> 03:39:24,820
inertial reference system with the gyroscopes in the,

2943
03:39:26,620 --> 03:39:30,460
how, how, how is this the biggest slide rules? I was trying to figure out how slide will

2944
03:39:30,460 --> 03:39:33,700
work with my dad the other day. He learned about them in school,

2945
03:39:33,700 --> 03:39:39,940
never know how he figured it out. Anyway, Luke, you spoke a bit about classic battlefield

2946
03:39:39,940 --> 03:39:43,540
last week. I also miss maps like battle of Britain,

2947
03:39:43,540 --> 03:39:48,260
filling up a bomber with six players. Also, did you ever play battlefield Vietnam?

2948
03:39:48,260 --> 03:39:52,580
Yeah, I think I played pretty much all of the old battlefields. I didn't know they did a battlefield Vietnam.

2949
03:39:52,580 --> 03:39:57,100
That's a weird war to make a video game about. Wasn't that, I thought that might have been an expansion.

2950
03:39:57,100 --> 03:39:59,860
The problem with the game is that you just can't win.

2951
03:40:00,660 --> 03:40:02,500
Rough.

2952
03:40:03,700 --> 03:40:07,020
Oh yeah, yeah. Is this a full game? I remember this actually.

2953
03:40:07,020 --> 03:40:10,740
I think it was an expansion. No, it's a full game. Shut up.

2954
03:40:12,220 --> 03:40:17,060
Developed by Digital Illusions Canada. I know I played it, but I thought it was an expansion.

2955
03:40:17,060 --> 03:40:20,820
Maybe by Canadian standards, you know, the Vietnam war wasn't that bad.

2956
03:40:23,380 --> 03:40:25,740
Yeah, fair. Oh yeah, that was like a Tuesday.

2957
03:40:27,660 --> 03:40:34,340
I don't think we wrote any conventions that time. Yeah, we didn't make the chemicals.

2958
03:40:34,340 --> 03:40:38,140
Yeah, exactly. Maybe they learned from us.

2959
03:40:38,140 --> 03:40:41,740
Include us next time. Apparently, it was the first with helicopters. We have ideas.

2960
03:40:43,940 --> 03:40:48,580
What if you put the gas in the cans?

2961
03:40:48,580 --> 03:40:52,060
Instead of helicopters, blades, they're actually blades.

2962
03:40:53,220 --> 03:40:56,220
Just more on the bottom. Chainsaw.

2963
03:40:56,220 --> 03:40:58,900
I'm already hiccuping so much. My God.

2964
03:40:59,820 --> 03:41:05,100
But yeah, no, I loved Battlefield games. I think I don't think it's just Battlefield the problem.

2965
03:41:05,100 --> 03:41:08,860
I think triple AAA is a whole kind of lost the plot there

2966
03:41:08,860 --> 03:41:11,300
for a long time for getting the games needed to be fun.

2967
03:41:13,260 --> 03:41:15,900
They focused on graphics. They focused on.

2968
03:41:18,380 --> 03:41:22,780
Just a wide variety of things that weren't just like the game

2969
03:41:22,780 --> 03:41:29,660
being good and fun. And it seems like we might maybe, in some cases,

2970
03:41:29,660 --> 03:41:34,020
be coming back to that, which is cool. Hopefully the next GTA is good.

2971
03:41:34,020 --> 03:41:37,100
Hopefully the next Battlefield is good. And hopefully we keep going from there.

2972
03:41:37,100 --> 03:41:39,300
But we'll see. I can't even talk.

2973
03:41:41,100 --> 03:41:46,220
Heller Lemus. Watch the Chromebook video and was wondering

2974
03:41:46,220 --> 03:41:50,140
what the most awkward situation you were in when in public.

2975
03:41:50,140 --> 03:41:53,540
I'm sure lots of recognition happens at Best Buy.

2976
03:41:56,100 --> 03:41:57,620
Oh, man, awkward.

2977
03:42:00,100 --> 03:42:03,380
Man, I can't, I don't even know if I can remember anymore.

2978
03:42:03,380 --> 03:42:06,980
Every time, it's like, what was the most X that you Y?

2979
03:42:06,980 --> 03:42:11,900
I have such a hard time. It's like, never gonna be accurate. It's just gonna be whatever one you remember.

2980
03:42:11,900 --> 03:42:15,180
Oh, the worst one you remember that moment.

2981
03:42:15,180 --> 03:42:22,060
Man, I'm like awkward all the time. I had an employee come and say bye to me recently

2982
03:42:22,900 --> 03:42:28,660
because it was their last day and just to shake hands. And I was, and I was like,

2983
03:42:28,660 --> 03:42:31,940
I said something like completely wrong.

2984
03:42:31,940 --> 03:42:36,660
Oh yeah, I remember what I said. I remember what I said. I was, I said welcome.

2985
03:42:38,180 --> 03:42:41,900
Because I just, my brain completely, the opposite it.

2986
03:42:42,860 --> 03:42:47,020
What I meant to say was like, thanks for everything, you know?

2987
03:42:47,020 --> 03:42:50,780
And they were like, I said welcome like I'd never met them.

2988
03:42:50,780 --> 03:42:54,580
They worked here over two years. Like I completely knew who they were.

2989
03:42:54,580 --> 03:42:57,700
And I knew they were coming because I knew that they had tendered their resignation

2990
03:42:57,700 --> 03:43:01,700
a little while ago. And I was just like, I was like, welcome.

2991
03:43:03,060 --> 03:43:05,980
And then as I tried to recover, I made it like way worse.

2992
03:43:07,540 --> 03:43:10,820
Yeah. So that wasn't in public, but it sucked.

2993
03:43:10,820 --> 03:43:15,580
That's pretty epic. Yeah, I just, dude, when I'm on the spot,

2994
03:43:15,580 --> 03:43:19,020
I just can say just like the dumbest stuff. Like I think I've told the story about the time

2995
03:43:19,020 --> 03:43:23,620
when the border guards asked me where I was going. And I said the wrong place just because I was tense,

2996
03:43:23,620 --> 03:43:25,700
not because I was doing anything illicit.

2997
03:43:27,260 --> 03:43:30,900
Ah, anyway. Where are you off to? Crimes?

2998
03:43:32,500 --> 03:43:36,380
Last one I got for you today. Oh, you missed the Chromebook one. Did you skip that one?

2999
03:43:36,380 --> 03:43:39,740
Oh, I thought that was it. Oh, wait, that was it. Yep, good job. Was that it?

3000
03:43:39,740 --> 03:43:44,420
Okay, thank God. Would be awesome to know what the pool of mystery items is.

3001
03:43:44,420 --> 03:43:47,820
I would grab a mystery hoodie if that was the case. Also, I'm colorblind.

3002
03:43:47,820 --> 03:43:53,180
What color is iron? Cargo pants. Oh, iron is not the ones I'm wearing.

3003
03:43:53,180 --> 03:43:57,940
I'm wearing the blue ones, gray. So they're not, they're what you see.

3004
03:43:57,940 --> 03:44:03,100
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you should be able to handle it.

3005
03:44:03,100 --> 03:44:07,180
Pool of mystery items. Yeah, but that's the point of mystery items is that they're kind of whatever they are.

3006
03:44:07,180 --> 03:44:10,860
And that's why they're cheaper. Would make it really tedious because it like constantly changes.

3007
03:44:10,860 --> 03:44:16,180
Yeah. So it's supposed to be a low cost way of liquidating stuff

3008
03:44:16,180 --> 03:44:21,460
that we need to liquidate for whatever reason. And actual last one, how do you,

3009
03:44:21,460 --> 03:44:26,900
have you guys heard about the DDoS attacks happening to Fafrever?

3010
03:44:26,900 --> 03:44:30,020
Faferever. Faferever. That's hard.

3011
03:44:30,020 --> 03:44:33,500
Supreme commander. Oh, the new one, yeah?

3012
03:44:33,500 --> 03:44:36,900
No, no, the old one. The old one. Forged Alliance forever.

3013
03:44:36,900 --> 03:44:40,500
It's a community project. The fact that someone's attacking this is. Oh, damn.

3014
03:44:40,500 --> 03:44:45,660
Whoever's attacking this is a butthole. They are asking for help defending, like a sphincter.

3015
03:44:46,300 --> 03:44:49,420
Tight? No. No.

3016
03:44:49,420 --> 03:44:52,940
Damn. And dirty. No. The continuous.

3017
03:44:52,940 --> 03:45:00,300
Unwashed sphincter. Leaks. The continuation of Faferever on their form.

3018
03:45:00,300 --> 03:45:04,500
Yeah. I hadn't heard about the DDoS attacks. That's super uncool.

3019
03:45:04,500 --> 03:45:07,980
And I don't even know how we would begin to.

3020
03:45:07,980 --> 03:45:12,020
What do they want? They want help defending DDoS attacks, but like.

3021
03:45:12,020 --> 03:45:15,460
Yeah, but what is it? Did someone have a link to them talking about this

3022
03:45:15,460 --> 03:45:16,300
or something?

3023
03:45:18,940 --> 03:45:23,380
Faferever. Faferever. Faferever, Dan, for crying out loud.

3024
03:45:23,380 --> 03:45:28,140
Faferever. It's just forged alliance. Why is this happening?

3025
03:45:28,140 --> 03:45:31,380
It's just forged alliance forever. It's just recompense for XE.

3026
03:45:31,380 --> 03:45:35,380
I guess. Oh my goodness. No, I mean my hiccups.

3027
03:45:35,380 --> 03:45:40,620
Not you saying it weirdly. They need contributors with solid software development

3028
03:45:40,620 --> 03:45:43,140
background to help address the latest attack vectors.

3029
03:45:46,460 --> 03:45:50,980
Yeah. This is such a bummer to read.

3030
03:45:50,980 --> 03:45:54,500
The past decade of the internet, the past decade the internet has changed significantly.

3031
03:45:54,500 --> 03:46:00,100
In my personal view, the internet used to be more innocent. As a small open source service provider, such as Faferever,

3032
03:46:00,100 --> 03:46:03,420
it was unthinkable that we would be the target of malicious actors.

3033
03:46:03,420 --> 03:46:06,540
And because of that, the infrastructure was never designed to be resilient.

3034
03:46:06,540 --> 03:46:10,100
Of course, their basic authentication and authorization checks. But in general, our implementation

3035
03:46:10,100 --> 03:46:12,700
assumed the user consuming the service acted in good faith.

3036
03:46:16,460 --> 03:46:19,380
Yeah. A lot of the internet kind of just sucks now.

3037
03:46:22,900 --> 03:46:23,400
Man.

3038
03:46:27,100 --> 03:46:28,540
This is so not cool.

3039
03:46:32,860 --> 03:46:36,500
Unfortunately, I don't have any development help to offer.

3040
03:46:36,500 --> 03:46:40,740
But what I do have is a farewell for all of you.

3041
03:46:40,740 --> 03:46:44,580
We'll see you again next week. Same bad time, same bad channel.

3042
03:46:44,580 --> 03:46:49,700
This is not the show you're looking for anymore tonight.

3043
03:46:49,700 --> 03:46:52,300
Bye. Buddha, Buddha. Mind trick.

3044
03:46:58,300 --> 03:47:02,340
I'm going to crash so hard. I'm sorry, it was such a long show.
