WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.340 Dream's gonna happen, we're gonna be streaming. 00:00:10.780 --> 00:00:15.140 I still can't believe Luigi sent out a newsletter 00:00:15.140 --> 00:00:19.220 that was like, buy now, free Luigi. 00:00:20.820 --> 00:00:24.360 What? Yeah. Luigi sent out a newsletter? 00:00:24.360 --> 00:00:27.420 No, no, dbrand. Oh, I'm pretty sure he said Luigi. 00:00:27.420 --> 00:00:30.820 I did. Oh, he said Luigi sent out a newsletter. Two options. Oh, did I? 00:00:30.820 --> 00:00:34.700 Yeah. Okay. Maybe I did. Maybe I didn't. 00:00:34.700 --> 00:00:38.060 The chat will let us know. Yeah, maybe I maybe I inserted that. 00:00:38.060 --> 00:00:41.460 I saw that, too. What is what is the link to? Is it an actual link? 00:00:41.460 --> 00:00:45.240 Just adds it to the cart. And it's like a donation? 00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:49.800 No. Oh, so it's a zero value. You just, yeah, no, you just. 00:00:49.800 --> 00:00:54.620 Oh, God, you're just telling the robot that you want to free Luigi. 00:00:54.620 --> 00:00:58.480 Yeah. Okay. And then it just adds the product to your cart. 00:00:59.480 --> 00:01:03.280 Yeah. Classic dbrand. What did I bring my phone out for? 00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:07.280 Oh, two factor. I knew I opened it for something. 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:10.620 Yeah. Okay. You did. I was like, how did he send a newsletter from jail? 00:01:10.620 --> 00:01:14.820 Oh, that's crazy. Did I say dbrand? 00:01:14.820 --> 00:01:18.320 No, apparently said Luigi. Did I really? Oh, wow. Go Linus. 00:01:19.820 --> 00:01:23.640 Yeah. I'm tired. It's been a very, very long week. 00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:27.360 Yeah. I was playing catch up. It was. It's nuts. 00:01:30.160 --> 00:01:32.860 Did you win or did you fail to cut the mustard? 00:01:34.700 --> 00:01:36.100 I relish our time together. 00:01:40.800 --> 00:01:44.380 Is that mayonnaise on your pants? Oh. No. 00:01:50.740 --> 00:01:53.760 Like on the other side, away from the bun. Oh. 00:02:07.460 --> 00:02:11.180 What are you trying to do? I'm trying to put a shutting power off to the U.S. Yeah. As far as I can tell, 00:02:11.180 --> 00:02:14.640 like every country in the world is like, we'll make trade worse. 00:02:14.640 --> 00:02:18.960 Whoa. And just pointing at each other. And it's really lame. 00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:22.640 Yeah. We'll see how it goes. Hopefully everyone just relaxes. 00:02:22.920 --> 00:02:24.480 Yeah. Holy crap. 00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:31.520 Like literally not beneficial. 00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:37.560 Why am I? Did you see Russia starting like trade war with China? 00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:41.600 Yeah. There's got to be a reason. 00:02:41.600 --> 00:02:43.300 I can't imagine what it is. 00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:48.880 I was going to say, I wish some luck with that, but I don't. 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:55.720 I honestly, I saw him just started laughing. 00:02:56.720 --> 00:03:00.200 Like, man, with the current situation that they're in 00:03:00.200 --> 00:03:04.240 and like the one big partner that's been like, okay, we'll hang out with you. 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:08.080 And then they're like, no. It's like, who does that leave you with as friends? 00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:12.360 It's like friendship with China ended. North Korea is now my best friend. 00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:16.280 Yeah. Send us more of your soldiers, please. 00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:21.440 Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh. 00:03:21.440 --> 00:03:26.360 Yeah. Midley correct also points out that India's been buying oil from them. 00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:31.080 Oh yeah. India's been trying to be the in-between of everything 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:34.800 as far as I can do. Yeah. Except with Canada. 00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:38.580 Oh yeah. I mean, yeah, but yeah. That's fair enough. 00:03:44.920 --> 00:03:50.440 Mantis, as you pointed out the animation time to unlock an iPhone, I can't unsee it now. 00:03:50.440 --> 00:03:53.600 I like hold up my ancient note nine in the video 00:03:53.600 --> 00:03:57.200 and I just like throw my like, 00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:00.880 sorry, my screen's so dim right now. You can't see that it's unlocked. 00:04:00.880 --> 00:04:05.800 But I just like throw my fingerprint on it and it's like, it just is on. 00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:09.680 And they're like, dad, be cool. 00:04:11.600 --> 00:04:13.720 You know, it'd be a cool idea for a, 00:04:14.720 --> 00:04:17.680 oh man, what's the real name, bonus bin item for next year? 00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:22.480 I don't know, maybe these are expensive. I don't know, they're oddly expensive in stores. 00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:27.280 Maybe they're really cheap to make. Like a Christmas card or a holiday card of some kind. 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:33.560 We did a postcard once, twice, once. 00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:37.200 We did a postcard. Just add another thing to it. 00:04:37.200 --> 00:04:41.720 Yeah, put a Christmas tree on it. Yeah. Christmas bird, put a Christmas bird on it. 00:04:44.080 --> 00:04:46.680 Also known as a turkey. Yeah. 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:53.960 Cause that's what you eat for Christmas bird. I think we should stop calling them turkeys. 00:04:53.960 --> 00:04:56.960 I actually like the name Christmas bird better. Just Christmas bird. 00:04:59.960 --> 00:05:03.560 What are you having for Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas bird? Christmas bird. 00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:06.600 I mean, where it just works. What if you have it during Thanksgiving? 00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:09.960 It just works. Just Christmas bird again? Christmas bird, yeah. Okay, true. 00:05:09.960 --> 00:05:13.800 Yeah, Christmas bird. All right, what do people want? 00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:19.360 Hi. Hi. Hi, Dennis. What? 00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:21.880 What? What? What would you do this week? 00:05:26.880 --> 00:05:31.800 I'm sure it is. I saw a comment under one of our most recent videos. 00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:35.360 It was like, Dennis's ad spots have been getting more unhinged over time. 00:05:37.640 --> 00:05:41.680 I hear you laughing. Yeah. This one's into madness, it's on display for all. 00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:48.560 This one says sibling. That's kind of interesting. 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:53.840 Sibling? Yeah. What's a sibling? One of the headers. 00:05:53.840 --> 00:05:57.760 What? I got sibling, gravy, juicy turkey. 00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:03.440 I have no idea what you're talking about. What are you talking about? 00:06:03.440 --> 00:06:07.360 Who do you possibly talk to? These are the file names for the integrations. 00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:09.040 The ad spots? Oh my God. 00:06:10.400 --> 00:06:15.400 I assume sibling is related to Lucas's AMD upgrade. 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:20.520 Oh. You'd like to think that. 00:06:22.520 --> 00:06:26.440 Dennis is getting very angry with me. All right. Have a lovely evening. 00:06:26.440 --> 00:06:29.560 Let's do this thing. Bye, Dennis. Okay. 00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:34.160 All right, all right, I'm ready. You ready? Yeah. 00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:36.520 You ready like Freddy? Yes. 00:06:38.400 --> 00:06:41.200 I'm ready as Freddy. I heard he got fingered. Oh. 00:06:43.840 --> 00:06:47.400 Okay, I'm resuming the selection. We selected some. 00:06:47.400 --> 00:06:50.880 I am. He's resuming something. I'm gonna start the show. Yeah. 00:06:50.880 --> 00:06:54.440 Okay, I'm pressing it now. Are we good, Dennis? Yep. 00:06:54.440 --> 00:06:55.440 All right, we're good. 00:06:59.960 --> 00:07:00.800 Boop. 00:07:09.760 --> 00:07:13.640 What's up, everyone? Welcome to The WAN Show. We're gonna be talking about all kinds of great stuff, 00:07:13.640 --> 00:07:18.640 but of course the big headline topic is that Intel Arc doesn't suck. 00:07:18.640 --> 00:07:22.600 What happened? I don't know how to make sense of this world anymore 00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:26.680 because it doesn't suck and I'm excited and it's not just me. 00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:30.880 People are actually excited. The whole industry seems genuinely hyped over this. 00:07:30.880 --> 00:07:34.520 About building a gaming PC for the first time in flipping years. 00:07:34.520 --> 00:07:38.400 So I know we already made a 16 and a half minute long video 00:07:38.400 --> 00:07:42.960 about Battle Mage, but I wanna... Time to talk more. I wanna talk about Battle Mage some more. 00:07:42.960 --> 00:07:46.640 Time to yap. Especially some of the observations that I've made 00:07:46.640 --> 00:07:51.880 about people's comments on it and about people's viewership habits 00:07:51.880 --> 00:07:55.520 on our other videos as a result. Don't look at the doc. 00:07:55.520 --> 00:07:59.360 He's trying to... No, I didn't. I opened a new tab. He's trying to spell all the things. 00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:02.880 You're hurting the laptop. We're also gonna be talking about 00:08:04.880 --> 00:08:09.720 LTT and ShortCircuit. Have they gone too far with the clickbait? 00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.480 Oh. The world, it turns out, is not actually upside down. 00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:17.720 What? Unless you're in Australia. In which case it's not news. 00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:22.040 Is the thumbnail good for them? I think so. I think they can see it better. 00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:23.560 What else we got today? 00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:30.000 Oh, right. I'm supposed to do something now. You're actually supposed to have the doc open 00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:33.880 and be looking at it. Yeah, but you've gone mad at me. So I... You didn't even have it open. 00:08:33.880 --> 00:08:37.640 I opened YouTube. Okay. 00:08:37.640 --> 00:08:43.240 You can buy a car on Amazon. That's weird. And there's like almost no other topics. 00:08:50.040 --> 00:08:52.440 Blu-ray's Battle Mage buying a car. 00:08:54.040 --> 00:08:56.040 And then hang out. 00:09:02.760 --> 00:09:06.960 The show is brought to you today by MSI, Bessie, and Squarespace, 00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:10.800 and of course our laptop partner, LG, our rap partner, Dbrand, 00:09:10.800 --> 00:09:14.080 and our chair partner, Secret Lab. 00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:18.680 Why don't we jump right into our headline topic, which is of course, Intel Arc Battle Mage. 00:09:18.680 --> 00:09:23.280 Against all odds, it's great. 00:09:23.280 --> 00:09:27.040 Did you watch the video? Yes. Well, yeah. Well, I don't know. 00:09:27.040 --> 00:09:31.360 I don't know if you watch our review of a GPU. I was up at like eight talking to you about it, 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:34.920 and I reviewed the video. Okay, well, I don't pay attention to these things. 00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:38.680 Intel finally launched. What do you mean? We were talking about it. I know, but I... 00:09:38.680 --> 00:09:42.440 How do you not pay attention? Do you have any idea how long my week's been this week? It's been crazy. 00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:45.800 I was really surprised you were up. Yeah. Well, I didn't have a choice. 00:09:45.800 --> 00:09:50.520 I was, I've been up at the beginning of days. I've been up at the end of days. 00:09:50.520 --> 00:09:57.040 It's been a very, very hectic week. Intel finally launched their anticipated Arc B580 GPU 00:09:57.040 --> 00:10:02.800 this Thursday, and across the board, reviewers and the public are impressed. 00:10:02.800 --> 00:10:07.520 It is built on the latest generation of Intel's XE architecture and provides a great value 00:10:07.520 --> 00:10:11.360 with 12 gigs of VRAM, outstanding 1080p performance, 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:14.680 and even strong performance at 1440p. 00:10:14.680 --> 00:10:19.560 In our testing, it provided a 20% uplift over the RTX 4060 00:10:19.560 --> 00:10:22.560 while undercutting the 4060 on price. 00:10:22.560 --> 00:10:26.760 At just $249, the card offers a compelling value 00:10:26.760 --> 00:10:31.320 if you can get one. One note I will put out there is some other reviewers. 00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:34.960 You know, we don't always test the same games. We don't always test the same games in the same way. 00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:40.760 Some other reviewers have found slightly different performance, like maybe the 4060 does pretty well 00:10:40.760 --> 00:10:44.520 in like some random title. Like if I remember correctly, Wendell said, 00:10:44.520 --> 00:10:47.960 comparatively it did pretty well in Starfield or something. 00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:51.400 I don't know. Maybe just check out his video. I mean, dozens of people are playing Starfield. 00:10:51.400 --> 00:10:54.680 Yeah. With that said, we don't necessarily choose games 00:10:54.680 --> 00:10:58.600 for our suite based on how many people are playing them. We have plenty of games in our suite 00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:02.160 that not a ton of people are playing. Just benchmark well. Because a lot of the time, 00:11:02.160 --> 00:11:06.960 you're looking for consistency and you're looking for games that represent something. 00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:10.000 So they might represent, okay, we need to evaluate Vulcan performance. 00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:13.440 Or if there's a particular feature we wanna look at, look at like ray tracing, 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:17.000 we need a game that supports various implementations 00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:20.680 of super sampling. We need this, we need that. So a lot of the time the benchmark suite 00:11:20.680 --> 00:11:24.960 is not just down to what games people are playing, but it's down to what exactly it is we're trying to test. 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:28.200 Sorry, one, I'm gonna interject really quick. My flight back from France 00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:34.240 when I was going to the bathroom mid-flight I was also walking down the hallway thing. 00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:38.720 I have to go sideways. I saw somebody on a steam deck playing Starfield. 00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:42.400 No way. I knew it was Starfield because they were on a loading screen. 00:11:42.400 --> 00:11:46.760 When I came back from the bathroom, they were on a different loading screen. 00:11:46.760 --> 00:11:51.320 And I was like, yep, I really wanted to stop 00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:56.120 and like talk to them like why, why, but I didn't. 00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:58.720 I just left them be. Anyways. 00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:02.560 Intel reference cards immediately sold out. 00:12:02.560 --> 00:12:08.360 Most AIB partner cards, which are priced around $10 to $20 more are also sold out. 00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:14.600 Hopefully restocks will happen soon. I have a short conversation with someone at Intel. 00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:18.800 I don't wanna get them in trouble, but basically I was like, please tell me you have lots of stock coming 00:12:18.800 --> 00:12:21.800 and I'm not gonna look like an idiot for saying it's 249. 00:12:23.800 --> 00:12:27.320 We are expecting weekly replenishments on the reference card 00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:30.520 and working with partners to offer steady availability. 00:12:30.520 --> 00:12:34.520 I said, okay, you gotta control the channel. 00:12:34.520 --> 00:12:37.640 Tell the boys, come on, there will be money to be made later. 00:12:37.640 --> 00:12:40.640 Don't fuck this up. We need momentum. Seriously. 00:12:40.640 --> 00:12:45.200 Passing that along verbatim. Hell yeah. I don't know that they have any power. 00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:49.360 I don't know that they even know anything. This is the janitor. I was talking to the janitor 00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:52.600 at Intel's graphics division. That's the only person I know there. 00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:56.560 I'm not important enough to have any like, you know, high up contacts or anything like that. 00:12:56.560 --> 00:13:01.560 But what I can say is that I have said what I can 00:13:03.160 --> 00:13:08.160 to the janitor at Intel about, hey, don't get greedy here. 00:13:09.280 --> 00:13:13.240 You need to buy some market share. Your partners need some market share. 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:17.200 Sparkle is not a relevant GPU maker. 00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:20.800 There's GPU partners that are running away from NVIDIA. 00:13:20.800 --> 00:13:22.960 If you're nice to them right now, like. 00:13:24.160 --> 00:13:29.920 Be a valid option. But with that said, I mean, I'm telling Intel, 00:13:29.920 --> 00:13:35.880 don't be that nice yet. There will be time to make an extra 10 bucks. 00:13:35.880 --> 00:13:39.600 It will come. Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you gotta control the channel. 00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:42.680 Don't be nice to them by hosing the buyers. 00:13:42.680 --> 00:13:47.800 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not now. Now is not the time to look at the market out there 00:13:47.800 --> 00:13:52.160 and go, oh, this card is priced attractively. 00:13:52.160 --> 00:13:56.640 We should fuck up the pricing and price it less attractively. 00:13:56.640 --> 00:13:59.840 Just win. Just win. 00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:04.040 Win the hearts and minds of gamers. It's really important right now. 00:14:04.040 --> 00:14:07.840 You've got X amount of months until 50, 60 comes out. 00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:12.880 We don't know how long, genuinely. That card will come out and then that's when, you know, 00:14:12.880 --> 00:14:17.040 we'll see how you're doing. Now it is worth noting, EU viewers have pointed out 00:14:17.040 --> 00:14:22.740 that the card is being sold at the same price as the RX 7700 XT in Europe, 00:14:22.740 --> 00:14:28.300 which is a 400 US dollar card. The B580, it's good, but it ain't that good. 00:14:28.300 --> 00:14:32.980 That's another thing that Intel and their partners need to get figured out is global competitiveness 00:14:32.980 --> 00:14:36.380 for this thing needs to be good. With that said, given they can't keep the bloody thing 00:14:36.380 --> 00:14:43.980 in stock, I can see how it's a lower priority, but guys, oh, make as many as you can, please. 00:14:47.180 --> 00:14:50.380 This isn't my notes. Pat Gelsinger's fasting and praying paid off. 00:14:50.380 --> 00:14:56.580 Yeah, I just opened this up. Every Thursday, I do a 24 hour prayer and fasting day. 00:14:56.580 --> 00:14:59.780 This week, I'd invite you to join me in praying for, what is this? 00:14:59.780 --> 00:15:04.260 What am I even looking at right now? Hold on a second. I don't really know. For the 100,000 Intel employees 00:15:04.260 --> 00:15:08.220 as they navigate this difficult period. Intel and its team is of seminal importance 00:15:08.220 --> 00:15:14.700 to the future of the industry and the US. This is actually incredibly important. 00:15:14.700 --> 00:15:19.980 And I do want to talk about this later. And I have to say that I just want to shout out 00:15:19.980 --> 00:15:25.860 that I hadn't read this tweet yet, but I think some of Pat's tweets have been hilarious. 00:15:25.860 --> 00:15:29.500 I haven't looked at it. And I love that he's just out there tweeting 00:15:29.500 --> 00:15:35.140 about the company immediately after leaving. Dude, I just, I want him back already. 00:15:35.140 --> 00:15:39.660 Like, can they just hire? Can they just say, look, we were wrong. Oh wait, Battlemage is sick. 00:15:39.660 --> 00:15:46.020 Maybe come back. Can they Sam Altman this? And just be like, bro, I'm sorry. 00:15:46.020 --> 00:15:49.020 Can we just have you back because we didn't get it? 00:15:49.020 --> 00:15:54.980 This is like the first thing that has come out that has actually been like Pat's vision start to finish. 00:15:54.980 --> 00:15:58.700 Actually, no, he came in after. A little bit. He came in a little bit after. 00:15:58.700 --> 00:16:02.220 But like, okay, so that's not the first thing. 00:16:02.220 --> 00:16:06.420 The point is that we are only now starting to see things 00:16:06.420 --> 00:16:10.820 that he actually really had a hand in. I mean, it has the same problem as politics 00:16:10.820 --> 00:16:15.460 where you'll come in as the, you'll come in, you'll set a bunch of things in motion. 00:16:15.460 --> 00:16:18.620 Oh, we didn't make enough quarterly profit. See you later, buddy. 00:16:18.620 --> 00:16:22.100 And then the next guy or Gal comes in and it's like, oh, great job. 00:16:22.100 --> 00:16:26.740 All these products are doing so great. Let's count beans. I'm inheriting this garbage heap. 00:16:26.740 --> 00:16:30.060 Time to work on that for like fixing that for three years. 00:16:30.060 --> 00:16:35.220 Then I get one year maybe to like reap some of the benefits of what I did and I'm out probably. 00:16:35.220 --> 00:16:40.260 Oh, okay. I'm just, anyway, I'm jazzed. 00:16:40.260 --> 00:16:43.420 Okay, what else we got to talk about? Besides the question of value, 00:16:43.420 --> 00:16:48.780 the other big question for ARC was game compatibility. While our testing was relatively smooth, 00:16:48.820 --> 00:16:52.940 except for Cyberpunk 2077 Ultra Ray Tracing which crashed, 00:16:52.940 --> 00:16:57.420 problems are still present as many reviewers did encounter issues in a variety of titles. 00:16:57.420 --> 00:17:01.060 Apparently, Starfield is still a problem game for ARC GPUs. I think that's one of the reasons 00:17:01.060 --> 00:17:04.100 why the 4060 did comparatively well. That makes sense. 00:17:04.100 --> 00:17:08.020 So it might be good to wait a bit, let the early adopters help Intel sort out the bugs, 00:17:08.020 --> 00:17:12.020 but also looking at how dedicated Intel has been 00:17:12.020 --> 00:17:15.780 to improving their drivers on the first generation ARC Alchemist cars. 00:17:15.780 --> 00:17:20.260 That was actually crazy. You should buy a product for what it is right now. 00:17:20.260 --> 00:17:26.220 You should not buy a promise, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. However, I do believe that promises 00:17:26.220 --> 00:17:29.420 can have varying levels of credibility. 00:17:29.420 --> 00:17:36.940 And I think that if Intel were to say, we are very dedicated to improving the drivers of our GPUs, 00:17:38.060 --> 00:17:42.740 I would say that that is a credible promise. And you know, it doesn't always work. 00:17:42.740 --> 00:17:45.860 Starfield isn't new and ARC GPUs like, 00:17:45.860 --> 00:17:49.420 if I'm her colleague didn't even work in Starfield when it first launched, wasn't that a thing? 00:17:49.420 --> 00:17:54.060 I don't remember. I don't remember it was bad, whatever it was, it was bad. And it's still not good. 00:17:54.060 --> 00:17:58.980 So like, they're not completely acing everything. Again, don't buy things on future promises. 00:17:58.980 --> 00:18:04.460 But if you know effectively, like what games you and your crew play, 00:18:04.460 --> 00:18:07.980 and you can look at how those perform based on some reviewer 00:18:07.980 --> 00:18:11.260 that's probably checked it out or some number somewhere on the internet that you can find, 00:18:11.260 --> 00:18:15.140 you might be able to say, hey, this works for all the games that I play right now. 00:18:16.500 --> 00:18:19.260 So maybe that works for me. And then cool. 00:18:20.180 --> 00:18:26.380 Yeah. Now, I wanna come into sort of a transition topic from that. 00:18:26.580 --> 00:18:31.580 And this is that my job is so much easier 00:18:34.380 --> 00:18:38.260 when there are good products and they're a great value. 00:18:38.260 --> 00:18:41.780 Like, do you have any idea what it felt like 00:18:41.780 --> 00:18:45.080 to wake up in the morning, feeling like pity? 00:18:46.860 --> 00:18:50.300 Sorry, to wake up in the morning, 00:18:50.300 --> 00:18:53.940 actually that has not aged well. No, it really hasn't. I was just going for the Kesha lyric. 00:18:53.940 --> 00:18:57.700 Okay. Yeah, that, wow, yep. 00:18:57.700 --> 00:19:02.900 Shout out Kesha. No, I don't, by the way. And neither do you. 00:19:02.900 --> 00:19:07.260 I forgot that P. Diddy is also Puff Daddy. 00:19:07.260 --> 00:19:10.740 You caught it yourself this time, very good job. I caught myself. 00:19:10.740 --> 00:19:14.020 We're improving. You know, it happens over time. We work on it. 00:19:14.020 --> 00:19:18.540 We work on things. Did she change the lyrics? We improved. 00:19:20.620 --> 00:19:23.660 We learned, we learned cultural references. 00:19:23.660 --> 00:19:24.500 Hard P. 00:19:29.620 --> 00:19:34.260 Sorry, Dot, Dot, Justin said that. That guy. Apparently the lyrics have changed. 00:19:34.260 --> 00:19:39.780 Kesha has announced, this is from August, that she will re-record her hit song, Tick Tock, 00:19:39.780 --> 00:19:45.220 changing it from wake up in the morning, feeling like P. Diddy to wake up in the morning, 00:19:45.220 --> 00:19:47.780 feeling f*** P. Diddy. 00:19:48.820 --> 00:19:52.340 So that's something. All right. Yeah, I mean, she's highly relevant these days. 00:19:52.340 --> 00:19:56.300 Yeah. Anywho, the point is, what am I going with this? 00:19:56.300 --> 00:20:02.540 No. Oh, okay. The point, yeah, her career, my understanding is, 00:20:02.540 --> 00:20:07.100 is sort of a sad story, actually. Yeah, I mean, I don't, anyway. 00:20:07.100 --> 00:20:11.180 Okay. The point is, the point is, 00:20:13.500 --> 00:20:18.380 I woke up in the morning, with a 99% like ratio on a video. 00:20:18.380 --> 00:20:22.860 Feeling like a respectable human. Yeah, feeling like a, feeling like, anyway. 00:20:25.300 --> 00:20:28.580 We didn't need an elaborate hook, you know? 00:20:28.580 --> 00:20:33.900 Oh yeah. Or a weird thumbnail. Or like a, like a. 00:20:33.900 --> 00:20:41.660 It felt good to watch. A three day shoot. Or, you know, it just, all we had to do was execute. 00:20:41.700 --> 00:20:45.700 We got our briefings. The Labs team did a great job. 00:20:45.700 --> 00:20:48.940 The writing team did a great job. The production team did a great job. 00:20:48.940 --> 00:20:53.140 The editing team did a great job. The business team did a great job. We sold our sponsor spots. 00:20:54.900 --> 00:20:59.300 It was like a breath of fresh air. 00:20:59.300 --> 00:21:05.900 Like this machine. It felt good. This machine is, is built to survive anything. 00:21:05.900 --> 00:21:11.460 But boy, does it ever run better when tech companies make a product 00:21:11.460 --> 00:21:17.180 that anyone fucking cares about and wants to put in their fucking computer. 00:21:17.180 --> 00:21:20.580 When you take out the like discarded kitchen grease 00:21:20.580 --> 00:21:24.180 and you put in some actual gas, and it's just like, oh, wow. Wow. 00:21:24.180 --> 00:21:26.020 It runs nice. Now we're cooking. 00:21:27.580 --> 00:21:31.940 Like dude, it is, it takes me back to years ago. 00:21:31.940 --> 00:21:37.340 Oh yeah. Like it is such a stark contrast. When, when we were, when I was sitting in script review, 00:21:37.340 --> 00:21:40.500 okay, and I was working on the intro with the writer for that video 00:21:40.500 --> 00:21:43.820 and we were going through it. I was like, no, no, really. 00:21:43.820 --> 00:21:48.580 When was the last time there was a $250 GPU 00:21:48.580 --> 00:21:51.940 that anyone actually wanted to buy? Oh, seriously. 00:21:51.940 --> 00:21:58.540 Not that they were like forced to buy because there wasn't a valid option whatsoever. 00:21:58.540 --> 00:22:04.340 Like- I think this is why a few different creators all included like 10, sixies and stuff in their reviews. 00:22:05.180 --> 00:22:08.180 Because that was the last time. 00:22:08.180 --> 00:22:10.380 It's been five years. 00:22:12.460 --> 00:22:17.940 And like I had this line that I- Is this the like mark that like the COVID era is over? 00:22:17.940 --> 00:22:24.540 Maybe. Like finally through it. Dude, I had this line. I had this line I put in the intro that I was like, 00:22:24.540 --> 00:22:28.540 almost half of the time that Linus Media Group, Inc. 00:22:28.540 --> 00:22:32.500 has existed. Oh, that's rough. 00:22:32.540 --> 00:22:39.420 There hasn't been a budget, like a value GPU launch worth writing about. 00:22:40.380 --> 00:22:46.820 There's been nothing. 1650 was like kind of okay, but they cut it down. 00:22:46.820 --> 00:22:50.580 It sucked. We knew we weren't getting the value 00:22:50.580 --> 00:22:52.180 that we could have gotten. 00:22:54.300 --> 00:22:57.420 Like, dude, like we've gotten, 00:22:57.420 --> 00:23:01.020 we've gotten like how many products in five years 00:23:01.020 --> 00:23:06.420 have we gotten that have blown us away with their value? Like sure, okay, Oculus Quest series. 00:23:06.420 --> 00:23:09.940 You could make that argument, but what did you give up for it? 00:23:09.940 --> 00:23:14.100 Right? Like it wasn't just Intel's not asking for anything in return. 00:23:14.100 --> 00:23:17.420 Here's a GPU. Give me $250. 00:23:17.420 --> 00:23:21.020 That's it. We don't take your personal data. 00:23:21.020 --> 00:23:24.620 Just play video games. Fuck yeah. 00:23:24.620 --> 00:23:30.460 You know? That's what the review felt like. I think my favorite part was when you ran out of like 00:23:30.460 --> 00:23:33.580 positive things to say. So you're just like blah, blah, blah, blah. 00:23:33.580 --> 00:23:38.420 I don't remember exactly what you did, but it was great. I was, I hadn't read the script. 00:23:38.420 --> 00:23:42.420 So when I was watching it, I was getting to that point and I was genuinely like, I wonder what he's going to keep saying? 00:23:42.420 --> 00:23:47.940 Cause like I know what these graphs are. And then yeah, you were just like blah, blah, blah, blah. 00:23:47.940 --> 00:23:51.180 I thought that was awesome. Well, it's like, I, you know, I just, 00:23:52.300 --> 00:23:56.420 I want that to be the case. Like it's, do you know how unfun it is 00:23:56.420 --> 00:24:00.740 to whine about things? And you know how unfun it is 00:24:00.740 --> 00:24:04.500 to feel like, to feel like a shot messenger sometimes. 00:24:04.500 --> 00:24:07.740 Oh yeah. Like I remember the amount of flak that we took 00:24:07.740 --> 00:24:12.140 in the middle of like 40 series. When we basically came out with a review of some card, 00:24:12.140 --> 00:24:14.020 I forget what it was. And we were like, well, 00:24:15.220 --> 00:24:17.460 realistically in the current landscape, 00:24:18.420 --> 00:24:24.420 this is a deal. I don't like it, but it is. And we got pitchforked over it. 00:24:24.420 --> 00:24:28.820 And the number of people that were messaging me, DMing me, leaving comments and they're like, 00:24:28.820 --> 00:24:32.060 Linus, you need to hold these companies accountable. 00:24:32.060 --> 00:24:36.940 You need to put pressure on them to lower the price. It's like, I don't, I don't have any power. 00:24:36.940 --> 00:24:41.940 I don't have that power. You think, you think Jensen Wong is watching my video 00:24:41.940 --> 00:24:44.980 going, hmm, yes, Linus, how should we price our GPA? 00:24:44.980 --> 00:24:48.860 He doesn't care what I think. We have to all try to work on it, 00:24:48.860 --> 00:24:53.820 but it almost doesn't matter when they're just selling it all the computer. It doesn't matter at all because at the end of the day, 00:24:53.820 --> 00:24:57.740 I can whine about microtransactions. I can whine about overpriced GPUs. 00:24:57.740 --> 00:25:02.260 I can whine about a lack of innovation in the tech industry. 00:25:02.260 --> 00:25:05.780 I can whine about all these things. It doesn't matter as long as people buy them. 00:25:05.780 --> 00:25:11.260 Money talks. And at the end of the day, I'm not buying GPUs 00:25:11.260 --> 00:25:16.820 so I can offer my opinion and they might take it under advisement, but that's it. 00:25:16.820 --> 00:25:20.760 And so I'm sitting here going like, on the one hand, 00:25:20.760 --> 00:25:25.980 yeah, I hate getting shot as a messenger, but on the other hand, boy, was it ever nice 00:25:25.980 --> 00:25:29.460 to just upload a video with some really great news 00:25:29.460 --> 00:25:31.700 and have people be like, well, good job, Linus. 00:25:33.700 --> 00:25:37.680 But that's the reason I'm bringing it up. It's like, yeah, I think our team did an excellent job 00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:40.740 of executing on that video, but on the other hand, 00:25:40.740 --> 00:25:43.860 I wanna make sure that we are giving the credit 00:25:43.860 --> 00:25:48.660 to where it is due, which is the great work that Intel's software team has done, 00:25:48.660 --> 00:25:54.940 that Intel's engineering team has done, and that Intel's management, however not present, 00:25:54.980 --> 00:26:01.900 they may or may not be now. Maybe other than the ones involving the removal of someone special. 00:26:01.900 --> 00:26:06.180 How good the job, the people who have supported this project for this long. 00:26:06.180 --> 00:26:10.700 Yeah, there we go. Now, it's clear that this discrete desktop GPU 00:26:10.700 --> 00:26:14.100 would have been killed ages ago, if that was the whole picture. 00:26:14.100 --> 00:26:20.200 Intel needs a GPU product for the data center. They need a compelling GPU architecture 00:26:20.200 --> 00:26:24.180 for their mobile devices. And that's what Battle Mage gave them 00:26:24.180 --> 00:26:29.100 because it made Lunar Lake their latest mobile chips. 00:26:29.100 --> 00:26:33.380 It made Lunar Lake more competitive as well. They finally, and that's one of the reasons 00:26:33.380 --> 00:26:39.780 that hopefully, knock on wood, we are going to continue to see new architectures 00:26:39.780 --> 00:26:42.940 going forward. Celestial is apparently baked. 00:26:42.940 --> 00:26:47.940 So they're working on the hardware level stuff now, 00:26:47.980 --> 00:26:50.460 but apparently the design is, 00:26:51.460 --> 00:26:55.740 I think baked was the word that was used, 00:26:55.740 --> 00:27:01.940 but there was a little bit more nuance. Hold on, Celestial baked Intel. 00:27:01.940 --> 00:27:08.540 Hold on, I'm trying to find the quote. Tom Peterson confirms that Druid is already in the works 00:27:08.700 --> 00:27:13.460 and that the hardware level groundwork for Celestial, which includes architectural layouts and prototypes, 00:27:13.460 --> 00:27:17.980 is done? Speaking of which, Mr. Tom Peterson, 00:27:18.060 --> 00:27:21.900 so exciting. Yes, yes. Fantastic job of communication around this launch. 00:27:23.180 --> 00:27:27.340 I didn't feel like there's been so many times throughout the years, like back when I used to do 00:27:27.340 --> 00:27:33.220 review stuff and even more recently, where you feel like you're getting the wool 00:27:33.220 --> 00:27:39.060 pulled over your eyes, including in the past, just to, sorry guys, but give you a little bit of a rip 00:27:39.060 --> 00:27:41.940 from Intel. This time, no. 00:27:42.900 --> 00:27:45.540 He showed us charts where they lost. 00:27:46.540 --> 00:27:50.020 They were like, here's a huge amount of games. This is how it did. 00:27:50.020 --> 00:27:55.500 Sometimes it did poorly, usually it did great. Cool. Like it felt like I was getting actual information, 00:27:55.500 --> 00:28:02.460 not I, like we were getting actual information, leading up to a launch that helped us understand 00:28:02.460 --> 00:28:06.460 what should be happening during the launch at all. Like it was very open, transparent. 00:28:06.460 --> 00:28:10.420 Which is really helpful for us, because at the end of the day, 00:28:10.420 --> 00:28:14.180 we're gonna figure it out anyway, if your product sucks. 00:28:14.180 --> 00:28:17.260 So you might as well help us. And I think Tap gets that. 00:28:17.260 --> 00:28:21.900 He's been around forever. Yep. And it's just, it's very helpful, 00:28:21.900 --> 00:28:25.780 I think, having his influence on things. Yeah, because it's not like we don't wanna tell 00:28:25.780 --> 00:28:29.140 the positive side of the story as well. Yeah, we loved doing this. 00:28:29.140 --> 00:28:33.100 This was great. We wanna tell the whole story. 00:28:33.100 --> 00:28:37.900 And the more information you give us, the less time we spend just dicking around, 00:28:37.900 --> 00:28:42.780 trying to find what you're trying to hide from us. And the more time we can spend working on 00:28:42.780 --> 00:28:46.140 crafting a message that helps communicate the product, because at the end of the day, 00:28:46.140 --> 00:28:50.980 that's what we want people to know. We want them to know what's bad about it, what's mid about it, what's good about it, 00:28:50.980 --> 00:28:55.220 which ultimately should be what you want people to know. That's how marketing is a post-a-work. 00:28:55.220 --> 00:28:58.340 I genuinely like- You're supposed to come to us with the marketing materials. 00:28:58.340 --> 00:29:01.820 We're supposed to read it, interpret it, test it, 00:29:01.820 --> 00:29:05.620 and then present that alongside our own findings to the audience. 00:29:05.620 --> 00:29:10.100 Yeah. And then they can make an informed decision. It's about informed decision-making. 00:29:10.100 --> 00:29:17.140 And so often it feels like a battle and this time it felt like we were on the same side almost. 00:29:18.820 --> 00:29:23.780 Like it felt like they were genuinely trying to help us make good content, 00:29:23.780 --> 00:29:28.460 which sounds like that should be pretty normal, 00:29:28.460 --> 00:29:32.180 but it's like super not. So anyways, I just, I wanted to show that out 00:29:32.180 --> 00:29:37.780 because I appreciate it. There's a couple other kind of comments on this topic here. 00:29:37.780 --> 00:29:41.260 This is amazing. This is a direct quote from Adam Sondergaard 00:29:41.300 --> 00:29:47.020 from the writing team. This is the first full-blown positive CPU or GPU review 00:29:47.020 --> 00:29:51.100 that I've written in my three years here at LTT. 00:29:51.100 --> 00:29:54.140 Did a great job of it. Yeah, he did a great job. I mean, like- 00:29:54.140 --> 00:29:58.260 Considering you've only written- He's only ever worked with lemons. You did a great job of writing a positive one. 00:29:58.260 --> 00:30:01.780 He's only ever worked with lemons. You give this man some lemonade. 00:30:01.780 --> 00:30:04.860 He's gonna put that powder in the glass. He's gonna stir it up. 00:30:06.060 --> 00:30:08.220 Ah, delicious, right? 00:30:09.220 --> 00:30:14.820 But yeah, after years of creeping price points, low part availability and cool but expensive tech, 00:30:14.820 --> 00:30:19.660 I feel like it has broadly deflated interest in the hobby, 00:30:19.660 --> 00:30:22.660 which makes our job as content creators so hard. 00:30:22.660 --> 00:30:27.660 Do you guys think we want to reach for like complex 00:30:27.660 --> 00:30:31.900 video concepts and like, you think we wanna react to stuff on Reddit? 00:30:31.900 --> 00:30:36.660 No, we'd love to be making videos about cool new GPUs 00:30:36.660 --> 00:30:39.780 and CPUs and RAM and cases, cool stuff. 00:30:39.780 --> 00:30:44.900 That's what we want. I mean, people wonder why our content has diverged 00:30:44.900 --> 00:30:48.300 from a strict focus on PC hardware and building PC. 00:30:48.300 --> 00:30:52.700 Building PCs is cause there's nothing to make videos about and no one fucking cares. 00:30:52.700 --> 00:30:57.700 Man, we've uploaded videos on like, how to build a PC recently that have just bombed 00:30:57.700 --> 00:31:02.660 because people don't care, they don't wanna do it. But here's what happened immediately. 00:31:02.660 --> 00:31:07.340 Oh, did those types of videos crank up? Did you see the screenshot that I sent to the topic chat? 00:31:07.340 --> 00:31:12.380 That's so cool, it's so good for the culture. Watch this, watch this. Did you see the screenshot I sent to the approval chat? 00:31:12.380 --> 00:31:15.860 Okay, watch this, watch this. Okay, so this right here is a, 00:31:15.860 --> 00:31:19.100 this right here is a me not knowing how to use an iPhone. 00:31:19.100 --> 00:31:23.180 Hold on, where's the thing, the approval chat? Where's my screenshots? 00:31:23.180 --> 00:31:27.300 Here they are. I like your watch panel. Here they are. Oh yeah, my little unicorn. 00:31:27.300 --> 00:31:31.900 Okay, here we go, here we go, here we go. It's like the Labs concept logo. Here's the ARC B580, okay? 00:31:31.900 --> 00:31:36.780 So this is the next day. And so we got obviously some recent videos upgrading my big brother's PC rented an Airbnb 00:31:36.780 --> 00:31:42.620 to look for hidden cameras and some stuff. Anyway, the point is, here's as we go down the list, 00:31:42.620 --> 00:31:47.020 we've got how to build a PC, the last guide you'll ever need, some other crap, 00:31:47.020 --> 00:31:50.020 how to build a PC, the other one, the older one, 00:31:50.020 --> 00:31:53.100 the last guide you'll ever need, immediately. 00:31:53.100 --> 00:31:58.180 It's almost like- Entry level computers are good for once in years. 00:31:58.180 --> 00:32:04.980 It's almost like it's a mistake to turn your entire product stack purely transactional. 00:32:04.980 --> 00:32:09.620 Price everything, feature everything for what the market will bear. 00:32:09.620 --> 00:32:12.740 It's almost like that's gonna kill the enthusiasm 00:32:12.740 --> 00:32:17.300 for your products in the long term. It's almost like when someone comes in 00:32:17.300 --> 00:32:21.840 with something that's legitimately exciting, instead of just seeing everything 00:32:21.840 --> 00:32:28.380 in terms of total addressable market and optimized profit to expense ratio, blah, blah, blah, blah. 00:32:28.420 --> 00:32:31.820 It's almost like you can create new customers 00:32:31.820 --> 00:32:37.260 by making something that's exciting and gets people talking, gets people looking into it, 00:32:37.260 --> 00:32:40.620 gets people exploring and wanting to learn. 00:32:40.620 --> 00:32:45.460 Thank you very much, Intel. And this is a really, really important thing 00:32:45.460 --> 00:32:46.780 that I wanna bring up. 00:32:48.540 --> 00:32:53.540 Guys, Intel Arc is going to force the incumbents to react. 00:32:54.540 --> 00:32:59.540 NVIDIA and AMD are very likely to bring their cards down 00:33:00.260 --> 00:33:03.460 to a price that is competitive with Arc. 00:33:03.460 --> 00:33:10.500 Don't forget, when you're recommending a $250 GPU to a friend or building a new machine, 00:33:10.500 --> 00:33:13.340 don't forget who made the price point happen. 00:33:16.100 --> 00:33:19.660 We've talked about this so many times. In my opinion, there's a value to that. 00:33:19.660 --> 00:33:23.620 People root for AMD so that their NVIDIA card can be cheaper. 00:33:25.380 --> 00:33:29.780 But now, Arc is not just like a crappy option 00:33:29.780 --> 00:33:33.460 that we hope will become a good option someday. It's a legitimately good option. 00:33:33.460 --> 00:33:36.500 It's a solid option right now. It's a solid option. 00:33:36.500 --> 00:33:41.340 If I was building a computer for a friend or something in this price point, I would probably throw this GPU in. 00:33:41.340 --> 00:33:44.780 I might check what games they play. Make sure it's gonna run well. 00:33:44.780 --> 00:33:48.900 But you should do that anyways. We've just gotten a little soft on that because over the last years, 00:33:48.900 --> 00:33:53.140 basically everyone's just buying NVIDIA cards and they pretty much work in everything, which is cool. 00:33:53.140 --> 00:33:57.940 But it's not that much of a lift. They wanna play like Rocket League and League of Legends 00:33:57.940 --> 00:34:01.580 and something else. Like, you're probably fine. Sweet. 00:34:01.580 --> 00:34:06.020 If they wanna play Starfield, just tell them, ah, don't bother. SteveJ3D here in chat says, 00:34:06.020 --> 00:34:09.740 I just had somebody ask today about what NVIDIA to get for under $500. 00:34:09.740 --> 00:34:15.500 I told them to look for a B580. NVIDIA doesn't have real options under $500. 00:34:15.500 --> 00:34:20.500 Dude, $599 used to be like an ultra card. 00:34:21.740 --> 00:34:26.660 Look, that was a top tier card. That's now basically where NVIDIA starts 00:34:26.660 --> 00:34:32.300 having a valid option at all. Cause I'm not counting these eight gig VRAM cards, 00:34:32.300 --> 00:34:35.460 especially now that Indiana Jones and the... 00:34:35.460 --> 00:34:38.800 What is it? What's that? Two, what's this? It's a great circle, right? 00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:42.660 Six suggestion from LNG community in full-plane chat. 00:34:42.660 --> 00:34:46.540 Yeah, great circle. But he said, can you combine it with an APU 00:34:46.540 --> 00:34:50.620 and use that to handle older games that the B580 might not be good for? 00:34:50.660 --> 00:34:53.700 Yeah, possibly actually. That's actually not a bad strat. 00:34:53.700 --> 00:34:57.860 Cause Intel does struggle a little bit with especially some very, very legacy games. 00:34:57.860 --> 00:35:01.540 Yeah, but modern CPUs can probably handle all those. 00:35:01.540 --> 00:35:06.500 That actually ties me right back into one of the other things 00:35:06.500 --> 00:35:10.380 that I wanted to talk about here. I want to call out AMD. 00:35:11.500 --> 00:35:15.300 Where are current generation Ryzen 3 chips? 00:35:15.300 --> 00:35:19.420 Where are they? I understand people can buy a last generation chip 00:35:19.420 --> 00:35:24.340 or whatever on some ancient architecture or like a two-generational chip for your value segment. 00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:27.600 But like, what the heck? 00:35:27.600 --> 00:35:32.300 You used to have value chips. You used to launch the entire lineup, 00:35:32.300 --> 00:35:36.220 Ryzen 7, Ryzen 5, Ryzen 3. Like the whole thing was there 00:35:36.220 --> 00:35:39.540 and also you had that threadripper for consumers. Remember that? 00:35:39.540 --> 00:35:44.820 Like remember getting people excited about products and making stuff because it was really cool 00:35:44.820 --> 00:35:49.220 and because it would delight your customers. And while we're at it, 00:35:49.220 --> 00:35:52.580 where are your non-X Ryzen 9000s? 00:35:53.780 --> 00:35:54.860 Hello? 00:35:57.860 --> 00:36:02.540 We talk about this. This, I think it's an upcoming video, but we talk about AMD's shift in strategy 00:36:02.540 --> 00:36:05.540 where they used to launch them at the same time, 00:36:05.540 --> 00:36:11.060 the X and the non-X variants. And then they started launching the X first 00:36:11.060 --> 00:36:15.260 and following up with the non-X at a lower price, but like pretty comparable spec. 00:36:15.260 --> 00:36:18.700 And now for 9000, X has been out for months. 00:36:18.700 --> 00:36:22.180 We have X3D. Where the fuck is the regular one? 00:36:23.380 --> 00:36:26.540 No, you can just pay for X. We're doing a lot of Intel praise right now, 00:36:26.540 --> 00:36:30.140 but it wasn't even that long ago that Intel was the ones on top being big jerks. 00:36:30.140 --> 00:36:33.880 Oh, 100%. So like it's- Just not even bothering to invest in R&D 00:36:33.880 --> 00:36:37.520 and make new chips with higher core counts. That's what allowed AMD back in the game. 00:36:37.520 --> 00:36:42.340 And massively jumping prices and doing things like that. So it's like, it's this like, 00:36:42.340 --> 00:36:47.620 remember who got us here comment? A lot of it's like, I will genuinely make purchasing decisions 00:36:47.620 --> 00:36:53.060 based around who's like currently. Yeah, it's like, what have you done for me lately? 00:36:53.060 --> 00:36:57.500 You should never have brand loyalty. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't let a brand 00:36:57.500 --> 00:37:00.900 influence your purchasing decision. It just means you should ask, 00:37:00.900 --> 00:37:05.260 what have you done for me lately? Yeah. Yep. 00:37:05.260 --> 00:37:06.780 Because honestly, I mean like, 00:37:08.980 --> 00:37:12.900 oh, the people that influenced the decision that you liked all those years ago 00:37:12.900 --> 00:37:15.980 might not even work there anymore. Yeah. Yeah. 00:37:15.980 --> 00:37:19.740 Like, I don't know. This is a really good line in our notes. 00:37:19.740 --> 00:37:24.380 Instead of just producing enough to meet market demand, why don't you guys make something cool 00:37:24.380 --> 00:37:27.420 and stimulate market demand, please? 00:37:27.420 --> 00:37:31.300 There were some, Adam did this topic. He says, here's some good value products 00:37:31.300 --> 00:37:34.460 that we've covered. I was talking to AMD with that last one. Yes. 00:37:34.460 --> 00:37:38.260 Also just the tech industry in general. Yeah, but Intel just did is why I clarified there. 00:37:38.260 --> 00:37:42.700 Here's some good value stuff that we've covered. The 2024 Mac mini. 00:37:42.700 --> 00:37:46.140 Yeah. If you ignore the expensive storage upgrades, 00:37:46.140 --> 00:37:52.140 but that is a legitimately exciting product. I am legitimately excited about the 2024 M4 Mac mini. 00:37:52.140 --> 00:37:56.300 Mac minis have oddly been pretty good, but yeah, especially 2024. 00:37:56.300 --> 00:37:59.460 Oh man, his other stuff, honestly, Adam, I don't know. I think you're reaching. 00:37:59.460 --> 00:38:04.020 I think you're, I think you're, you've got the modern tech dystopia perspective here 00:38:04.020 --> 00:38:08.660 because he's got the X3D chips in here and they're, yeah, they're exciting, but they're like really expensive. 00:38:09.660 --> 00:38:15.260 MetaQuest 3 VR. Yeah, we talked about that. And also Pixel A series question mark. 00:38:15.260 --> 00:38:18.780 Like they're just, man, there hasn't been. There really isn't a lot. 00:38:18.780 --> 00:38:23.180 I tell this story all the time, but like when people point out like, 00:38:23.180 --> 00:38:26.620 oh, a lot of the stuff that goes on all the details, just like entertainment stuff these days. 00:38:26.620 --> 00:38:29.900 It's like, yeah, it used to be really easy 00:38:29.900 --> 00:38:34.620 and now it's really hard. Now we have to, we, the writing team, 00:38:34.620 --> 00:38:39.140 production team, all kinds of stuff has to make stuff interesting. 00:38:39.140 --> 00:38:44.460 Before stuff was just interesting. Yeah. Stuff like this Intel card would just come out all the time. 00:38:44.460 --> 00:38:47.980 And it was like, oh, sweet. I don't know, throw it on a bench, play with it a little bit. 00:38:47.980 --> 00:38:51.340 Yeah, it's great. Sick, cool. See ya. Your games run faster. 00:38:51.340 --> 00:38:54.580 It was just so easy. There's no downside. Yeah, nice. 00:38:54.580 --> 00:39:01.460 And then now it's like, oh man, okay, we got, I don't know, I'll do some, I don't know, whatever thing. 00:39:01.460 --> 00:39:05.820 I see people complaining that we don't do enough GPU reviews and CPU reviews. 00:39:05.820 --> 00:39:09.780 They're our today. Like, what are we supposed to review? Where are they? 00:39:09.780 --> 00:39:13.600 Like we get a new family of GPUs like once every almost two years. 00:39:14.540 --> 00:39:18.260 What am I supposed to do with that? I can't keep reviewing it. 00:39:18.260 --> 00:39:23.260 If I did, you'd ask why I keep reviewing the same GPU. I don't make GPUs. 00:39:25.060 --> 00:39:28.580 I don't make GPUs. Look, come out that often. 00:39:28.580 --> 00:39:32.820 That's a 40, 60. That's a year and a half ago. If we look at the 40, 80, 00:39:33.820 --> 00:39:36.940 it's 2022. That's two years ago. 00:39:36.940 --> 00:39:41.420 November. So it's even slightly more. We still don't have a 50, 80. 00:39:41.420 --> 00:39:44.500 Yeah. What do you want us to do? 00:39:44.500 --> 00:39:49.660 Two years. And the prices don't even come down. 00:39:49.660 --> 00:39:52.380 So I'm going to chat, review it again. No. 00:39:59.500 --> 00:40:04.220 But yeah, so like, okay, back in the day when it was like eight months between GPU cycles. 00:40:04.220 --> 00:40:08.100 Oh yeah. That was a long time ago. It was before we were even in media, but in fair, 00:40:08.100 --> 00:40:12.420 but still still annual cycles were nice. It's a little easier annual cycles. 00:40:12.420 --> 00:40:16.620 Now when it's every over two years, like it's, I don't know. 00:40:16.620 --> 00:40:22.260 I don't know how, when it's going to be, but it's going to be over two years, considering we just saw it's already been over two years. 00:40:22.260 --> 00:40:26.180 What do you do in the meantime? And when that's happening to every vertical, 00:40:26.180 --> 00:40:30.580 and when a lot of other verticals just feel like they're kind of maturing out a little bit, 00:40:32.500 --> 00:40:36.060 I'm like, to be clear, I feel like our team does a really good job. 00:40:36.060 --> 00:40:39.060 They do a great job. Fantastic job. 00:40:39.060 --> 00:40:42.900 They're killing it. But it's just, it's so hard. 00:40:44.460 --> 00:40:47.500 Because you have to create the concept 00:40:47.500 --> 00:40:50.820 instead of just having cool things. Like we would, we would walk into the office 00:40:50.820 --> 00:40:55.860 and there'd be a pile of interesting things in the corner. Yeah. Every day is just like, oh, okay, sick. 00:40:55.860 --> 00:40:59.900 Yeah, we'll have to prioritize which cool, interesting thing to talk about. 00:40:59.940 --> 00:41:02.140 That is not the problem anymore. 00:41:03.460 --> 00:41:07.980 Oh man. Anyways. Anyways, Dan, we've done two topics. 00:41:08.980 --> 00:41:12.140 Okay, thanks, I'm a little swamped. Oh, what? 00:41:12.140 --> 00:41:16.900 Are you getting merch message inundated today? What's even going on today? It's been 40 minutes and I've had 200. 00:41:18.380 --> 00:41:22.300 It's been 40 minutes? That's a wow. Wow. 00:41:22.300 --> 00:41:26.340 Look at us go. Hey, it's Wancho. I can dance all day. 00:41:27.180 --> 00:41:30.540 Is it, is it the, is it just because we're close 00:41:30.540 --> 00:41:34.220 to Christmas and people are trying to get stuff? I mean, look at the top banner of the site. 00:41:35.740 --> 00:41:40.420 Precision multi-bit screwdriver, bit sets, and end caps are restocking. 00:41:40.420 --> 00:41:42.500 Backorders are live now. 00:41:43.700 --> 00:41:44.340 Please help. 00:41:48.020 --> 00:41:51.180 Okay, well, let's do a couple of merch messages then if you've done two topics. 00:41:51.180 --> 00:41:57.220 That makes sense. When's the mod mat coming out? There's my merch message. 00:41:57.220 --> 00:41:59.980 New year, I think. Okay. Luke asks. 00:42:02.660 --> 00:42:03.500 Sorry. 00:42:06.100 --> 00:42:10.540 When's the mod mat coming out? Hi, LLD, great to see the precision screw. 00:42:10.540 --> 00:42:12.940 Nope, that is an incoming. Sorry, I'm losing it. 00:42:13.940 --> 00:42:18.980 It starts exactly the same. Hey, LLD, just wanted to say the MCM product suite 00:42:18.980 --> 00:42:22.100 is phenomenal. Finally had a chance to redo my setup when I moved 00:42:22.180 --> 00:42:25.820 and I couldn't be happier. What's next in that product category? I need more. 00:42:27.620 --> 00:42:32.620 Oh, we are, I think we're working on a smaller 00:42:33.220 --> 00:42:37.340 power brick holder, like for like little tiny power bricks. 00:42:37.340 --> 00:42:41.500 The current one is a little bit tricky to use on really, really small stuff. 00:42:41.500 --> 00:42:46.660 Okay. I believe we're working on, I think we're in the early stages. 00:42:46.660 --> 00:42:50.060 It may never see the light of day if it doesn't reach our quality standards, 00:42:50.060 --> 00:42:54.860 but I believe we're in the early stages of like an arch with like a flexy middle. 00:42:54.860 --> 00:42:59.100 Whoa. So that you could kind of stretch it out and have it be like flatter or put it together 00:42:59.100 --> 00:43:03.620 and have it be like taller. It may not end up making any sense. 00:43:03.620 --> 00:43:07.420 I know that we are, what else are we working on? 00:43:07.420 --> 00:43:12.380 I, oh, this is cool. Now that I've been promised that this will be coming 00:43:12.380 --> 00:43:16.180 very, very soon, even though I've been asking for it for like two years. 00:43:18.580 --> 00:43:20.620 Could you like bungee? 00:43:22.060 --> 00:43:27.500 Between two magnetic ends? I don't know, maybe. Then you just take one end off to access the cables 00:43:27.500 --> 00:43:32.020 and put the other end, put the end back on. That would be very complicated tooling. 00:43:32.020 --> 00:43:35.100 I don't know about that. Maybe it's a cool idea. 00:43:35.100 --> 00:43:38.620 One thing that I know is coming is we create all kinds 00:43:38.620 --> 00:43:41.820 of like cool 3D printed internal tools 00:43:41.820 --> 00:43:45.140 and holders and adapters and all kinds of stuff. 00:43:45.140 --> 00:43:50.140 Like we have for the little quarter 20 threaded 00:43:50.940 --> 00:43:54.660 power bar holder, MCM like magnetic thing. 00:43:54.660 --> 00:43:59.500 We have a little screwdriver holder that can go onto it and then you can just like put your screwdriver into it. 00:43:59.500 --> 00:44:03.380 And so I've been just super irate every time I see stuff like that. 00:44:03.380 --> 00:44:06.740 And I'm like, yo, why don't we share any of this with our community? 00:44:06.740 --> 00:44:11.220 So we are finally going to be publishing like a repo 00:44:11.220 --> 00:44:16.380 of just like all the cool stuff that we design internally. LST store like maker add ons. 00:44:16.380 --> 00:44:21.180 Not even, cause a lot of it's just like stuff we just use internally that has nothing to do with maker. 00:44:21.180 --> 00:44:24.540 Like our like our CPU holders and stuff like that. 00:44:24.540 --> 00:44:27.980 You're 3D printing it. Isn't it like maker? I mean, sure, I guess so. 00:44:27.980 --> 00:44:32.620 Your Sonos wall holders are up there. Yeah. So we're, so we are finally going to be 00:44:32.620 --> 00:44:37.300 publishing that bloody thing. I love the idea of like, oh, I lost my little, 00:44:37.300 --> 00:44:41.020 the little plastic thing my CPU came in. I can 3D print a new one. 00:44:41.020 --> 00:44:44.900 That's sick. And we have those and they're awesome. Yeah. And they're already designed. 00:44:44.900 --> 00:44:48.820 So, yes, we should, we should definitely do that. 00:44:48.820 --> 00:44:52.980 Oh, Tynan's apparently in the chat right now and he says possibly question mark. 00:44:52.980 --> 00:44:56.660 So I have no idea what that means, but keep up the good work. 00:44:56.660 --> 00:44:59.860 No, that was to the bungee thing. Oh, really? Oh, okay, cool. 00:44:59.860 --> 00:45:06.820 Cool. But he said that before you said. Oh, oh, a big part of the, of the like MCM line 00:45:06.820 --> 00:45:10.540 is going to be our cables to go with the cable management stuff. 00:45:10.540 --> 00:45:13.780 Yes. I'm very excited about our cables. Please. 00:45:13.780 --> 00:45:17.140 Dude, the quality. Yes. The quality. Yes. 00:45:17.140 --> 00:45:21.620 I'm excited. I've been overdue to kind of modernize a little bit. 00:45:21.620 --> 00:45:25.980 I'm still on type A for a fair amount of things and it's not too much, but a fair amount of things. 00:45:25.980 --> 00:45:33.900 And I've been, I've been waiting. Been waiting. Dude, they are someone, I don't know who. 00:45:34.740 --> 00:45:39.700 Doesn't matter. Someone's going to cut them open and they're going to be like, damn. 00:45:40.980 --> 00:45:43.900 They're just their quality. Nice. Yeah. 00:45:44.180 --> 00:45:45.980 I'm, I'm really excited about them. 00:45:47.260 --> 00:45:50.780 All right. All right. I got one more and then we'll do some announcements. Okay. 00:45:50.780 --> 00:45:54.100 I got the OG screwdriver. Happy to get the stubby and precision. 00:45:54.100 --> 00:45:58.140 Just started a new job. Any advice how to help myself stand out 00:45:58.140 --> 00:46:00.260 and become more valuable for the company? 00:46:01.220 --> 00:46:05.180 Man. Okay. I got some, I got some shameless advice. 00:46:06.500 --> 00:46:11.020 What is it? Shameless. Because a lot of people I think are too modest 00:46:11.020 --> 00:46:14.660 and they feel awkward about sort of Claim your way. 00:46:14.660 --> 00:46:21.940 Pumping up, yeah. Pumping up their own achievements. When you do something that like goes well, talk about it. 00:46:22.540 --> 00:46:25.640 I think that's honestly one of the biggest issues 00:46:25.640 --> 00:46:30.780 that I saw like back when I was at NCIX, right? Cause like as, as the CEO or chief vision officer 00:46:30.780 --> 00:46:36.540 whatever roles I've had here, I have, you know I have a lot less visibility into what 00:46:36.540 --> 00:46:39.780 Not too much. Every single person is doing. Yeah. 00:46:40.020 --> 00:46:46.460 And it's a very different perspective. And then being like a rank and filer at NCIX 00:46:46.460 --> 00:46:51.220 I had my sort of bottom up perspective. And what I will say is consistent 00:46:51.220 --> 00:46:57.260 between both of those perspectives is that whether it's the individual contributors 00:46:57.260 --> 00:47:01.300 that are working for me or whether it's my peers that are working for the company 00:47:01.300 --> 00:47:03.820 is there are people who do great work 00:47:05.660 --> 00:47:09.620 super quietly, don't stand out. 00:47:09.620 --> 00:47:15.340 Don't point out anything good that they do. And they don't, they don't get the recognition. 00:47:15.340 --> 00:47:20.420 Sometimes they do. Sometimes they do. But often they don't. But that relies on their boss to be kind of awesome 00:47:20.420 --> 00:47:24.100 and pay attention and be on top of it. And let's face it. 00:47:24.100 --> 00:47:28.940 Come on folks. Is your boss awesome and on top of it 00:47:28.940 --> 00:47:31.940 and always paying attention to what you do 00:47:31.940 --> 00:47:37.260 in like a positive way? Don't, don't Dan, Dan, don't answer that. 00:47:37.260 --> 00:47:38.100 No, no. 00:47:42.020 --> 00:47:45.660 Luke just said, no, no, I did not. I like where you went, Taryn. Leave me alone. 00:47:45.660 --> 00:47:47.820 So that, that's what- That was such a bait. 00:47:50.460 --> 00:47:53.780 That's what I want you to do. If you think you're doing a great job 00:47:53.780 --> 00:47:57.740 then I want you to make sure that you tell people about it. Make sure that they know. 00:47:57.740 --> 00:48:00.940 Don't be boastful. Don't let it be constant. 00:48:00.940 --> 00:48:06.420 Just slip it in once in a while. Especially if there's, especially if there's someone 00:48:06.420 --> 00:48:08.180 higher up the rung present. 00:48:09.500 --> 00:48:14.860 And if you don't think you're doing a great job and you don't have anything to talk about then kind of maybe figure that out. 00:48:16.340 --> 00:48:20.300 Find something good to talk about. Yeah. You also don't want to, yeah. 00:48:20.300 --> 00:48:25.060 You don't want to be annoying. It shouldn't be the only thing you talk about. 00:48:25.060 --> 00:48:28.940 But bring it up. Claim your work. Oh, and another, this is actually really great. 00:48:28.940 --> 00:48:32.260 Disorderly says, when I did tech support, one time I went on vacation and my boss volunteered 00:48:32.260 --> 00:48:35.300 to do my job. When I got back from vacay, she gave me a raise. 00:48:35.300 --> 00:48:39.860 That's actually a really key point as well is take your PTO. 00:48:40.780 --> 00:48:43.980 Take your time off and make sure 00:48:43.980 --> 00:48:48.100 that by the time you take it, because it sounds like you're in a new job so you might not be eligible for a little bit, 00:48:48.100 --> 00:48:51.100 make sure that by the time you take it, you're hard to cover for. 00:48:51.100 --> 00:48:56.860 That is impossible to ignore. If you take your time off and the team- 00:48:56.860 --> 00:48:59.100 Why would you say that? What? 00:49:00.380 --> 00:49:05.980 No, not put obstructions in the way. That's 100% how a ton of people are gonna take that. 00:49:05.980 --> 00:49:09.500 That's not- So many people. That's not the way. So many people. 00:49:09.500 --> 00:49:10.820 That's not the way. 00:49:12.740 --> 00:49:16.860 That's not the way. He means be so good. 00:49:16.860 --> 00:49:21.660 Yes. Not like don't do documentation or whatever else. 00:49:23.220 --> 00:49:27.620 The company doesn't- Let's get off this topic. The company doesn't implode when you take a day off. 00:49:27.620 --> 00:49:31.260 Let's get off this topic. If your manager notices that you're not doing documentation 00:49:31.260 --> 00:49:34.260 or that you're not doing good documentation, you might just get fired for that reason. 00:49:34.260 --> 00:49:38.980 So be careful. Yes. And just be difficult to replace because you're good. 00:49:38.980 --> 00:49:43.660 So take your PTO and be in a position 00:49:43.660 --> 00:49:47.460 where when you get back, people are grateful to have you back 00:49:47.460 --> 00:49:52.100 because they're like, man, I don't know how we do this without you. 00:49:52.100 --> 00:49:55.180 That's what you want people thinking about you. 00:49:55.180 --> 00:49:58.300 It's very annoying when AJ goes on vacation. 00:49:58.300 --> 00:50:01.420 Because he doesn't document anything? I get messaged all the time. 00:50:02.380 --> 00:50:05.980 And I'm like, ugh. That means he's doing work. 00:50:05.980 --> 00:50:09.220 That means he's doing work. Oh yeah, he's like- That's good. 00:50:09.220 --> 00:50:11.580 Doing whatever he's doing. Don't note that, Matt. 00:50:18.540 --> 00:50:22.220 JoJoWeb says- That's really good. He doesn't need to do anything more. 00:50:22.220 --> 00:50:27.220 Matt's doing great. JoJoWeb says, okay, I'm gonna unplug our company server and go on vacation. 00:50:27.220 --> 00:50:32.260 Thanks for the tip. Luke, you give such great advice. 00:50:32.260 --> 00:50:33.100 What? 00:50:38.100 --> 00:50:40.300 Giving Luke pre-TSD? That's pretty funny. 00:50:42.900 --> 00:50:46.260 Okay, what are we supposed to be doing, Dan? Merch messages. We only did one though. 00:50:46.260 --> 00:50:49.780 Wait, we never explained merch messages. 00:50:49.780 --> 00:50:53.580 Oh. Leave a merch message. You gotta go to lttstore.com. 00:50:53.580 --> 00:50:57.980 We don't do just throwing money at the screen. We do throwing money at high quality products 00:50:58.740 --> 00:51:02.380 and getting them in the mail. And also, you can throw money at the screen 00:51:02.380 --> 00:51:05.980 and get your message on the screen. Send it to producer Dan, who will, 00:51:05.980 --> 00:51:09.220 there, okay, it's working now. Who will reply to it or forward it. 00:51:09.220 --> 00:51:12.420 Dreadfully say, oh, when he realizes that you haven't explained 00:51:12.420 --> 00:51:16.820 merch messages yet. Or curating for us. I think people understand how merch messages work. 00:51:16.820 --> 00:51:20.980 Some of them do. Hey, we reach new viewers all the time, Mr. Besser. 00:51:20.980 --> 00:51:24.340 Yeah, absolutely. There's a new tech enthusiast born every minute 00:51:24.340 --> 00:51:27.700 and we're gonna get a merch message from him. Especially from Intel, apparently. 00:51:27.780 --> 00:51:32.660 Especially, yeah, oh, dude, thank you, Intel. I mean, I remember when I was back at NCIX, 00:51:32.660 --> 00:51:36.580 like my old boss, Jack, was like, yeah, I mean, 00:51:36.580 --> 00:51:41.980 the entire industry basically lives or dies by Microsoft and Intel innovating on a cycle 00:51:41.980 --> 00:51:45.820 because new Windows, boom, explosion, PC sales, 00:51:45.820 --> 00:51:48.900 new Intel processor, everyone else is just sitting, 00:51:48.900 --> 00:51:53.740 waiting with bated breath for them to release something new that's faster and better so that people need RAM 00:51:53.740 --> 00:51:57.780 and motherboards and graphics cards and, okay, well, I'm spending anyway, 00:51:57.780 --> 00:52:01.980 I'm gonna get a keyboard and mouse and like, we've been without a driver. 00:52:01.980 --> 00:52:05.380 The bus has just been cruising down the road 00:52:05.380 --> 00:52:09.140 with no driver for years. We need someone to drive it and it's like, 00:52:09.140 --> 00:52:13.740 Intel sure as heck not doing it on the CPU side but dang it, the GPU division stepping up 00:52:13.740 --> 00:52:19.100 and I'm loving it. All right, Dan, what are we supposed to be doing now again? 00:52:19.100 --> 00:52:22.580 Announcements, yes, announcements. 00:52:22.580 --> 00:52:26.500 Float plain merch stream. Sorry, we're supposed to have five of these. 00:52:26.500 --> 00:52:30.420 Yeah, why are there so many announcements? Well, some of them are quick, some of them are quick. 00:52:30.420 --> 00:52:35.500 Okay. Available now. The floppy disk notebook. 00:52:35.500 --> 00:52:40.020 Save all your precious notes on the floppy disk notebook. 00:52:40.020 --> 00:52:43.020 It's a blank page notebook with terrible pages. 00:52:44.380 --> 00:52:47.420 Sorry, ripable, they're good, they're not terrible. 00:52:50.500 --> 00:52:53.900 Why don't you even let me pitch the product? This one has notes in it. 00:52:53.940 --> 00:52:57.180 It fits in a cro, what, sorry, what? 00:52:57.180 --> 00:53:03.380 This one has notes in it. Who wrote that? Notes are not included. Plate power breakfast, that looks like Sarah's writing. 00:53:03.380 --> 00:53:07.900 Anyway, if it's an across body bag or even a jacket pocket with ease and comes 00:53:07.900 --> 00:53:12.100 with 200 perforated pages for your convenience. Terrible pages. 00:53:12.100 --> 00:53:16.420 Designed by the lovely Sarah Butt, it is available in gray or teal. 00:53:16.420 --> 00:53:20.740 You can get it now at LMG.gg slash floppy. 00:53:20.740 --> 00:53:21.900 What else we got? 00:53:24.020 --> 00:53:28.860 What is this? An announcement a ton of you have been waiting for. 00:53:28.860 --> 00:53:32.220 Underneath the table, there's a stocking. What? 00:53:33.500 --> 00:53:34.340 Oh. 00:53:37.820 --> 00:53:40.860 It's like not close to my, is it all laying on the ground? 00:53:40.860 --> 00:53:44.340 Re. Oops, re. What the? 00:53:44.340 --> 00:53:49.380 Oh. Oh. Re stocking. 00:53:49.380 --> 00:53:53.660 That's right, the bit set, there you go. 00:53:53.660 --> 00:53:58.300 The case and precision bit set for the precision driver. 00:53:58.300 --> 00:54:05.300 Okay, and the end cap set, which has the different profiles of end caps, 00:54:05.580 --> 00:54:09.780 the convex, the flat and the concave. 00:54:09.780 --> 00:54:15.020 They are finally restocking, but you already know that because we spoiled it 10 minutes ago. 00:54:15.020 --> 00:54:18.060 Yeah. Back when we launched these back in September, 00:54:18.060 --> 00:54:23.180 we couldn't imagine how much y'all were gonna want them. You literally sold us out in 72 hours, which we appreciate. 00:54:23.180 --> 00:54:26.500 So we ordered a lot more, a lot more, but who knows, they might go fast again. 00:54:26.500 --> 00:54:31.980 So we'd suggest getting them while you can. The case with 60 long reach bits, 00:54:31.980 --> 00:54:35.220 a detachable hinge and convenient magnetic parts tray 00:54:35.220 --> 00:54:38.580 and an adapter. So you can use these bits with the regular LTD screwdriver 00:54:38.580 --> 00:54:41.700 or really any other quarter shank screwdriver 00:54:41.700 --> 00:54:45.900 is available by itself for $29.99 or in a bundle with the precision multi-bit screwdriver, 00:54:45.900 --> 00:54:53.260 which saves you 10 bucks compared to buying both separately. Everything is available for order at LMG.gg slash bit set. 00:54:53.260 --> 00:54:57.060 So you can get that stuff there, get the combo or get the case. 00:54:57.060 --> 00:55:00.340 What else do we have to announce? What else do we have to announce? 00:55:00.340 --> 00:55:05.300 Is there anything else? Okay, this says watch video. Is this gonna be like weird and awkward again? 00:55:06.860 --> 00:55:11.060 Are they giving us a full length video? No. What are we looking at here? 00:55:11.060 --> 00:55:14.540 Okay, so watch video. Oh, it's 42 seconds. Are we good? 00:55:14.540 --> 00:55:17.900 Do we have audio? Is it this one? I don't know. It is this one. 00:55:17.900 --> 00:55:21.620 It says watch video. I don't know. You're gonna watch. We're watching two videos? 00:55:21.620 --> 00:55:24.860 That's the wrong video. This is the wrong video. Which one are you on? 00:55:24.860 --> 00:55:27.860 Oh, that one. No, that's you. Oh, yeah, go for it. 00:55:27.860 --> 00:55:31.460 I don't know. There's so many videos. Yeah, I'll do audio. 00:55:31.460 --> 00:55:34.220 Let me see. Linus is not playing audio. Yeah, go for it. 00:55:35.660 --> 00:55:39.740 Oh, heck yeah. So I think we should make this our next merch idea. 00:55:39.740 --> 00:55:44.020 Sick. I'm Linus and I'm really just saying, yeah, that looks like a good idea. 00:55:44.020 --> 00:55:47.500 I dropped things because I'm a silly guy. Are you going to take more suggestions 00:55:47.500 --> 00:55:51.780 from the Floatplane live stream? I'm Luke. Chicken, chicken, chicken. 00:55:51.780 --> 00:55:55.380 Yeah, that's what you suggested last time. Oh, yeah, we did. 00:55:55.380 --> 00:55:59.660 I'm Linus and I'm always late to WAN to make Luke and Dan mad all the time. 00:55:59.660 --> 00:56:05.140 I'm Colton. The business team would be excited about this initiative as it aligns their strategic objectives and KPIs 00:56:05.140 --> 00:56:08.740 while raising stakeholder value. By leveraging this opportunity, 00:56:08.740 --> 00:56:12.180 we can drive incremental- Join us December. 19th at 10 a.m. 00:56:12.180 --> 00:56:14.740 and help with our suggestions for what we could be designing. 00:56:15.700 --> 00:56:19.220 There. That was great. What are we even doing? 00:56:19.220 --> 00:56:23.180 Every time I'm featured, they just say chicken a bunch of times. My goodness. 00:56:23.180 --> 00:56:28.700 Okay, so Sarah's going to be doing a Floatplane live stream designing, 00:56:28.700 --> 00:56:33.620 I guess it's a shirt. Another shirt. A shirt, okay. And it looks like maybe it's blue this time. 00:56:33.620 --> 00:56:37.340 Okay. Like a light blue. Neat. All right, Floatplane. 00:56:37.340 --> 00:56:42.380 So exclusive stream, exclusive shirt. And there's one last big announcement. 00:56:42.380 --> 00:56:47.980 There's a suggestion thread for the themes. I suggested a Floatplane in a hanger 00:56:47.980 --> 00:56:51.580 and the hanger is Creator Warehouse, but maybe you can beat my suggestion, 00:56:51.580 --> 00:56:55.060 leave it on Floatplane. I think they can beat that suggestion. Probably. I think they can beat it. 00:56:55.060 --> 00:56:58.420 Probably. I mean, they're float planers. I'm sure they can beat it. I tried to leave like that. 00:56:58.420 --> 00:57:01.900 They beat it every day. Oh, pfft. Pfft. 00:57:01.900 --> 00:57:04.060 I, pfft. Ah. 00:57:07.060 --> 00:57:10.500 We're just going to move on, I think. Me. 00:57:10.500 --> 00:57:13.740 One last announcement, one last big announcement. Is it another video? 00:57:13.740 --> 00:57:16.860 It is another video. I will play that video. This one's on YouTube. 00:57:16.860 --> 00:57:19.860 No, I haven't been playing this one. You're playing it. Yeah, I know. 00:57:19.860 --> 00:57:25.260 What? That's Dan, he's a player. I got the backpack or is. 00:57:25.260 --> 00:57:26.100 Oh, my. 00:57:29.500 --> 00:57:32.260 Oh, that looks like someone designed it to fit the tech sack. 00:57:35.460 --> 00:57:40.500 Oh. Wow. This, like, looks like a professional company made it. 00:57:52.060 --> 00:57:55.060 Oh, my. Wow, that glass is shot, though. Yeah. 00:57:58.180 --> 00:58:01.540 Yeah, I know where that is. Wow. 00:58:03.300 --> 00:58:05.100 Yeah, I know where that is. 00:58:13.780 --> 00:58:16.420 Two external water bottle holders, let's go. 00:58:24.620 --> 00:58:32.040 Man, the team has outdone themselves. Oh the price. Oh, we just announced the price apparently. Oh 00:58:33.180 --> 00:58:38.080 It's in the description of the video to you. Oh Is it? Yeah, I saw 00:58:38.700 --> 00:58:43.360 Dude off the unlisted video that that is I saw so many 00:58:44.020 --> 00:58:49.460 people Luke when when we first started teasing the commuter bag when we talked about around Wanshoe being like 00:58:49.860 --> 00:58:52.980 Okay, I'm hoping it'll be like I'm hoping it'll be like 00:58:53.980 --> 00:58:59.420 150 to like 180 and then I'm like all over this thing and I was I've been dude. It has been so 00:59:00.100 --> 00:59:06.700 Hard for me chats saying good price. It has been so hard for me to sit here and not be able to tell them 00:59:07.100 --> 00:59:15.700 Okay 149 99. Yeah. Yeah, it's good price people are saying good price. Okay. Oh dude. No, no, no like this is huge 00:59:15.700 --> 00:59:20.780 W price. Oh dude, dude, dude, dude, dude There was a reddit thread a while back where people are like, there's no way dang 00:59:21.460 --> 00:59:24.140 You're you're hoping for you're hoping for a dream. Ah 00:59:25.180 --> 00:59:30.040 Dyslexic stoner 240 said terrible price could have done 149 97 00:59:30.660 --> 00:59:36.100 So what's 97 your two cents too high? Oh, okay? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry 00:59:36.180 --> 00:59:42.740 I'll do better next time dyslexic stoner You should have played into the joke and done you could have done 149 99 00:59:42.740 --> 00:59:45.500 Did we announce when it'll be available was that in the thing? 00:59:47.300 --> 00:59:55.100 December 26th December 26th boxing day here in Canada, which is kind of like what used to be our Black Friday. You can sign up 00:59:56.340 --> 00:59:59.500 There's a site LMG dot GG slash commuter and 01:00:00.620 --> 01:00:04.780 This is this is really important if you're interested in the commuter bag 01:00:04.780 --> 01:00:08.140 You should go sign up now for the launch notification 01:00:08.660 --> 01:00:12.940 LMG GT slash commuter because at launch for a very 01:00:13.940 --> 01:00:20.380 finite Something we are doing something we have never done before with the new product launch on LTT Store 01:00:20.380 --> 01:00:26.180 Oh, yeah, and you are gonna want to know right away because we're not telling them because it's finite 01:00:26.180 --> 01:00:29.460 I don't even know what it is finite means not in finite 01:00:30.380 --> 01:00:35.580 So it's limited. It's outside of finite. Yes. Oh, yeah, it's out finite. Mm-hmm. Yeah 01:00:36.540 --> 01:00:42.260 Don't let Your friend be finite while you are out finite 01:00:42.900 --> 01:00:47.320 Wait in front. No, the point is get sign up for the thing. Yes. All right 01:00:48.620 --> 01:00:53.300 Finally Fire pole. What is that? It's a pole that's fire. Oh 01:00:55.100 --> 01:01:03.680 When hoodie v3 There are two options Dan. Can you can you help the people? Can you help the people respond to the pole? 01:01:03.700 --> 01:01:09.580 So let me explain. Let me explain before you publish it Let me tell me before you publish it because I want to explain. Yep 01:01:09.900 --> 01:01:15.820 There's two different possible vibes for the upcoming when hoodie v3 01:01:17.340 --> 01:01:23.540 This one is more like the original sort of when hoodie the v1 and the v2 01:01:23.620 --> 01:01:27.020 It's got the orange accents with the gray on the black 01:01:29.020 --> 01:01:35.300 That's cool. It's also got just an updated design. It's very similar fit to the older ones, but a little bit updated 01:01:35.500 --> 01:01:40.100 It doesn't have the same sort of bunching in the sleeve. So it's a little bit easier to roll up 01:01:40.100 --> 01:01:44.340 So there's a few little nice to have it's covered in pockets all the things that you love about 01:01:44.980 --> 01:01:51.060 You know when hoodie, but here's the thing the when hoodie branding is not orange and 01:01:51.780 --> 01:01:54.660 Has never been orange when branding. Yeah 01:01:55.340 --> 01:02:00.580 Yeah, the way and brand the branding for the WAN Show has always been 01:02:01.980 --> 01:02:05.260 Kind of red it has never been orange 01:02:05.300 --> 01:02:10.820 Yeah, like not not these bars on the side of merch messages. He's talking about the logo over there this here 01:02:10.820 --> 01:02:14.700 Yeah, because that the thing under it is is a there 01:02:15.540 --> 01:02:21.380 Yeah, the hexagon the best of gone that's down there. Yeah, so so that's to see you five 01:02:21.380 --> 01:02:26.860 Did we do that on purpose or did we just screw up? No, the WAN Show branding has just always been read. Okay. Yeah 01:02:27.420 --> 01:02:33.140 so this is Actually more true to the WAN Show 01:02:33.900 --> 01:02:40.220 They are the exact same hoodie the only difference is that this is actually based on the WAN Show colors and 01:02:40.820 --> 01:02:44.940 This is gray and red is more like the black and orange 01:02:45.180 --> 01:02:52.220 You know when hoodie colors, so Dan go ahead. You guys are gonna decide. We're only making one of them 01:02:52.260 --> 01:03:00.020 So I got red and orange. Yes. Okay. I'll do two minutes. Okay. Here comes the poll somebody was asking for a firefox option 01:03:00.020 --> 01:03:04.380 I did firefox poll Okay, show results 01:03:04.420 --> 01:03:07.100 All right, so we're gonna let you guys we're gonna let you guys 01:03:08.260 --> 01:03:11.500 Fester on that for a little bit and then now. Okay. What should we do in the meantime? I? 01:03:13.340 --> 01:03:15.540 Think we're out of announcements. Oh, yeah finally 01:03:17.020 --> 01:03:22.020 We could do another topic we could do a merch message one more topic. There isn't a lot of topics 01:03:22.020 --> 01:03:26.300 We might want to hit a merge message. Whatever you want Luke. Whatever. Okay. Let's do two merge messages 01:03:27.220 --> 01:03:33.340 Linus Luke and Dan with meta offering the option to reset your algorithm should YouTube also follow suit 01:03:33.500 --> 01:03:37.860 Maybe end the brain rot once for all. I don't think that'll end the brain rot 01:03:37.860 --> 01:03:41.620 No, it won't end the brain rot will happen again actually had a conversation with my son last night because 01:03:43.620 --> 01:03:49.540 He watches a little bit more YouTube than I'd probably prefer we he's at the age now 01:03:49.540 --> 01:03:54.260 Or you know, we don't want to just like because I could I could just lock how much he can watch it or whatever 01:03:54.260 --> 01:03:57.620 But he's he's getting to the age now where these need trying to get him to make decisions 01:03:57.620 --> 01:04:01.700 These need to be conversations these need to be decisions that he makes and it's like it's like 01:04:01.860 --> 01:04:05.420 You know the analogy that Yvonne was drawing when we were discussing, you know 01:04:05.420 --> 01:04:08.420 Just parenting strategies was like it's like when my parents told me I couldn't date 01:04:08.820 --> 01:04:15.060 The only difference was that they just didn't know yeah, right? And so we have to accept that at a certain point kids are going to 01:04:15.940 --> 01:04:20.380 Not listen to everything you say and and you've got to ARM them for that, right? 01:04:20.380 --> 01:04:23.980 And so one of the things that I was talking to him about I pulled up my Google news feed 01:04:23.980 --> 01:04:29.820 I basically went so here's the thing it takes a ton of discipline 01:04:31.780 --> 01:04:37.340 But you can actually tune these algorithms because a lot of the shorts that he's getting fed it's shorts in particular 01:04:37.340 --> 01:04:44.100 That are kind of worrying because he's been watching more shorts And a lot of them are pretty like kind of educational and sciency 01:04:44.140 --> 01:04:48.420 So he's actually been doing a good job of what I asked him to do which is hey if you're just watching 01:04:48.420 --> 01:04:52.780 You know brain rot on YouTube that counts the screen time you need to talk to us about it 01:04:52.780 --> 01:04:56.740 But if you're watching educational content, I don't mind you can do that whenever you want 01:04:56.780 --> 01:05:03.020 So he's actually been doing a good job of tuning the algorithm a little bit so much really good educational content on YouTube 01:05:03.020 --> 01:05:07.740 Here so like yeah, but he's also clearly still getting fed brain rot garbage 01:05:07.740 --> 01:05:11.860 Right and so what I did was I pulled out my phone to use as an example to show him like hey 01:05:11.860 --> 01:05:15.760 Look if I if I'm looking at news about if I click on something about the Royals or whatever 01:05:15.880 --> 01:05:21.160 It's gonna be full of just like gossip bull muck bull spit for a long time 01:05:21.160 --> 01:05:26.360 And if you are super super disciplined you can actually tune these algorithms to feed you really good content 01:05:26.360 --> 01:05:29.640 And so I showed him I was like look okay, we've got sort of politics world events 01:05:30.160 --> 01:05:34.080 Tech we've got like like all the things that I that I sort of generally 01:05:34.520 --> 01:05:39.040 Generally follow and without exception There's like actually no junk in my newsfeed anymore 01:05:39.040 --> 01:05:43.640 But that takes a long time and I don't because I just had to retrain it because I switched from my work account to my X 01:05:43.760 --> 01:05:46.400 Sorry, let's go next. Oh, well. Yeah, sure 01:05:47.240 --> 01:05:53.860 What happened to the pole? Oh Red one. Okay. It wasn't even close. It was like 69% red nice 01:05:54.880 --> 01:05:58.880 Anyway, so back to the back to the conversation about around just like algorithms. I 01:06:01.520 --> 01:06:06.900 I think that it would be very beneficial to be able to reset it, right 01:06:07.340 --> 01:06:12.660 But to Luke's point Having gone through that process very recently of 01:06:13.420 --> 01:06:16.900 Retraining mine because I had to I switched from my work account for my Google 01:06:17.260 --> 01:06:21.420 My Google account like my main Google account on my phone to my personal account 01:06:21.420 --> 01:06:26.220 And the reason I did that was because there's certain functions that don't work in Google Assistant if you have a Google 01:06:27.300 --> 01:06:33.140 What's it called Google G suite if you have a G suite account and I just got tired of just like stuff not working 01:06:33.140 --> 01:06:42.400 And I was like finally like okay fine I'll just retrain this piece of garbage because my newsfeed sucks on my personal account and was like really finely tuned on my work account 01:06:42.820 --> 01:06:52.340 So it probably took me like three or four months To get it to the point where a I've retrained my brain to not see ads in the feed anymore because my work account didn't have any and 01:06:52.900 --> 01:06:59.140 My my personal one does so I had to train my brain and then also trained my feed to not give me garbage 01:06:59.140 --> 01:07:04.740 That I don't want to read. Oh, the other thing that typically ends up is like science, especially like astronomy science and 01:07:05.500 --> 01:07:11.780 and like Material science for some reason I've clicked enough things about like lithium batteries that it's like oh, hey 01:07:11.780 --> 01:07:14.780 There's a new graphing, you know, whatever and like are you interested in this? 01:07:14.820 --> 01:07:21.300 So I end up with a lot of that stuff and it takes a really long time So I think it's a double-edged sword is the bottom line answer to this 01:07:21.300 --> 01:07:26.060 I think it could be a really good thing if you feel like things have gotten a little bit out of control and you like 01:07:26.380 --> 01:07:31.820 Want to do a breather and reset, but I also think that it could you could be better off 01:07:32.380 --> 01:07:40.180 If you have the discipline retraining it yourself So we we kind of had a conversation with him about like yeah, this is this is a feed that can be useful 01:07:40.420 --> 01:07:45.540 But it actually takes so much more discipline when things are just kind of being 01:07:46.380 --> 01:07:52.940 Served up in front of you compared to going out and and seeking content like the way that we used to so 01:07:52.940 --> 01:07:57.020 I don't know how much of this is gonna stick. I don't know how much of it's gonna sink in but 01:07:57.380 --> 01:08:05.980 Trying to have these conversations will come and go a little bit, too I talked about this on wanshow before but I might one of my favorite lines, but this is like life is constant PvP 01:08:07.220 --> 01:08:09.500 And I think sometimes people 01:08:10.260 --> 01:08:15.280 Get lulled into thinking that it's not and that's like actually dangerous like it's 01:08:15.860 --> 01:08:22.260 When you're randomly scrolling things, there's a war going on that you're not necessarily super aware of and it's 01:08:22.500 --> 01:08:27.820 Trying to learn about you trying to learn about what's gonna keep you scrolling trying to learn about what's gonna get you to buy 01:08:27.820 --> 01:08:31.300 Something to learn how to all those different things. It's constantly 01:08:31.460 --> 01:08:36.020 Analyzing it's trying to tune for you need to be aware of that and I like to think that my kids 01:08:36.020 --> 01:08:40.780 You know take me seriously is not just like some, you know, okay boomer like part of the conversation, too 01:08:40.780 --> 01:08:43.100 It was actually a bit of a longer chat and it was like look 01:08:43.940 --> 01:08:47.860 I'm not this is not fear mongering. I I 01:08:47.860 --> 01:08:52.220 Work in this world. Yeah, I live and breathe this world 01:08:52.220 --> 01:08:59.580 I go to conferences in this world where I look at graphs about this world about engagement retention 01:08:59.860 --> 01:09:04.980 That's all they care about you are just a number and I think that's something that 01:09:05.820 --> 01:09:07.820 People in general never mind just kids 01:09:08.860 --> 01:09:16.220 Can't necessarily be expected to wrap their brain around. Yeah, sure. Yeah, you are just a number to an organization 01:09:16.660 --> 01:09:19.980 like Google You're for sale 01:09:19.980 --> 01:09:27.420 You can be bought you're even just a number to a lot smaller organizations. Yeah, that that's fair to say just because they're at the top 01:09:27.420 --> 01:09:29.420 Of the mountain doesn't mean they're the only ones on the mountain 01:09:32.500 --> 01:09:34.620 Yeah, yeah, it's pretty wild 01:09:35.860 --> 01:09:40.700 I only man says I'm not a number No, we know you Langley man 01:09:41.980 --> 01:09:45.060 You're definitely a number to a lot of companies. Yes 01:09:46.620 --> 01:09:48.620 Which is our point 01:09:49.620 --> 01:09:54.140 Can app says are we a number to you guys? I think you are I don't think I recognize your username 01:09:54.900 --> 01:10:04.140 But like crystal I know It just it takes it it takes time to surface. Yeah, the full pink shots a bit smaller of an audience. Yeah, I recognize some people 01:10:05.140 --> 01:10:10.860 But you know, it's never gonna be everybody you can't you can't retain like I don't know unless you have some crazy brain 01:10:10.860 --> 01:10:16.140 You're not gonna retain all these different names now. They're all asking me if there's numbers. How many are asking? 01:10:16.620 --> 01:10:22.420 I mean, get it. That's a number. Hopefully users numbered. They're probably numbered. They're probably numbers a database. There's customer IDs 01:10:22.420 --> 01:10:25.500 Yeah, you're you're you're all a number 01:10:28.220 --> 01:10:30.620 Now they're all fighting over who could be number 69 01:10:32.100 --> 01:10:35.620 If I'm gonna be a number I'm gonna be a cool number 01:10:37.060 --> 01:10:42.300 I'm gonna be the fun number Do you remember do you remember the the 01:10:42.980 --> 01:10:47.740 Small amount of politics over employee numbers very early in the company for us. Yeah 01:10:48.300 --> 01:10:54.140 Did I did I pull like a power trip and take number one or did I take like I'm number one on my health insurance? 01:10:54.140 --> 01:10:57.140 Are you know, oh, that's interesting. I think I like I 01:10:58.180 --> 01:11:02.180 Don't remember maybe maybe I'm just it's been so long one problem that I have is 01:11:02.580 --> 01:11:07.860 Once it once my memory gets past a certain point I genuinely can't tell if I'm just like making it up or not, right? 01:11:08.140 --> 01:11:10.940 Because like I don't know that's a real risk that I dream this 01:11:11.420 --> 01:11:17.540 like Because my brain was like, oh, I like helped set up the health insurance and I thought about it longer 01:11:17.540 --> 01:11:21.620 I was like that sounds really unlikely. It was probably entirely of on that. You totally did not do no 01:11:21.620 --> 01:11:25.620 I promise. So why would I think that? Yeah, I don't know. I have no idea. Yeah, I don't know 01:11:25.620 --> 01:11:32.260 Maybe I like looked into it, but didn't do anything with it. I was still on hers for Costco. That's probably why that's probably why I was probably 01:11:32.260 --> 01:11:35.420 Still covered as a spouse because they didn't have to pay extra for it 01:11:35.420 --> 01:11:40.700 It's by the I genuinely feel pretty cool when I'm like going to the dentist and they're like, what's your number? 01:11:40.700 --> 01:11:44.300 I'm like, uh one 01:11:44.300 --> 01:11:49.100 That's pretty cool. That's it's genuinely that's kind of an alpha move. It's pretty cool. I kind of like 01:11:52.700 --> 01:11:57.500 Yeah, I that's probably my favorite part. Do you know your employee number as well? Are you two I? 01:11:58.260 --> 01:12:02.260 Can't remember if I like I can't remember if I took one or if I took 01:12:02.700 --> 01:12:07.460 69 or if I asked to be zero or something. I remember talking to him. I think my employee number is like 01:12:08.020 --> 01:12:11.620 Not good because I went to knitting that he doesn't fill out his time sheet. Oh 01:12:12.860 --> 01:12:18.080 Then I know it's three. There you go. You're three. Yeah, I wonder if Yvonne is two then 01:12:19.340 --> 01:12:23.420 Whatever it is. I'm curious. I'm calling her. I technically moved a flow plane. Yeah 01:12:24.340 --> 01:12:27.780 But I think hey, um, you're live on wancho. What's that? I 01:12:28.740 --> 01:12:32.180 Bet you Hey, I have a question for you 01:12:32.220 --> 01:12:38.860 Yeah, do you remember my employee number because I remember I was like kind of a bitch about it and I 01:12:39.700 --> 01:12:42.300 Like I wanted a particular number or something 01:12:44.620 --> 01:12:53.060 Are you talking about for like our Company benefit number. No, no, no not the benefit number. Just like our internal database like our employee numbers 01:12:53.980 --> 01:12:59.540 Like what we use for ceridian and things like that Yeah, I'm alive. Yeah, you're live right now by the way, but 01:13:00.420 --> 01:13:05.140 Yeah, that's fine. Just like whatever my employee number is. I just remember it's not one 01:13:05.340 --> 01:13:10.340 It's not are you are you one three three seven then because I remember there was a conversation between you and I about that 01:13:10.340 --> 01:13:15.060 Wait, so it's not one and I was upset. That's all you remember about it because that's all I remember about it, too 01:13:15.060 --> 01:13:17.500 So this is yeah, okay. I can check 01:13:19.780 --> 01:13:27.180 Yeah, it sounds like something I would want about okay. Yeah, all right. Okay. Thanks lady. Okay. Bye. I'm looking it out 01:13:27.220 --> 01:13:34.060 Oh, what how would you know I have ways? What do you mean you have ways worry about it? Well, where are you navigating to worry about it? 01:13:35.820 --> 01:13:42.460 Nothing Dan I get nothing he says he has ways I ask where he's navigated. Yeah, you are one. I am one. Yes. Oh 01:13:45.260 --> 01:13:50.240 Why do you have that? Oh, you know, I do have everyone's employee numbers. I mean, I guess he's IT. Oh, you know 01:13:53.340 --> 01:13:56.100 I'm pretty upset. I'm 71 01:13:57.820 --> 01:13:59.820 I was so close 01:14:02.940 --> 01:14:09.700 Oh man, who's two or I just locked it out probably him probably I don't think so cuz I because I went to I can't luck it 01:14:10.420 --> 01:14:16.500 Now we need to know This must be known who's 69. Yeah, who's 69 we need to know 01:14:19.340 --> 01:14:24.260 Oh Two is two is no longer here at the company anymore. Unfortunately 01:14:25.260 --> 01:14:33.340 69 is though Who wins 69 and it's someone who would really appreciate 01:14:34.460 --> 01:14:40.940 He probably knows he will know cuz it's gonna be on his time sheet. Yep, the one and only Adam Sondergaard 01:14:40.940 --> 01:14:46.780 Yeah, I'm not even up there. I think it's cuz I got moved you're three for float plain media ink 01:14:46.780 --> 01:14:52.260 Which is weird you in a Vaughan are probably one so you're yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, so wait. Why is it? 01:14:52.260 --> 01:14:56.500 Why isn't he Vaughan? No, no, no wait what? Oh for Floatplane. Yeah 01:14:57.060 --> 01:15:02.060 I bet you you and Avon are numbered for Floatplane. Mm-hmm. If not, it doesn't really make any sense 01:15:02.060 --> 01:15:05.180 That makes sense that makes sense. Okay, when we technically made full plane 01:15:05.180 --> 01:15:12.620 I think it was literally only AJ and I like day one of actual full plane. Maybe Yuki was there. I'm not sure. Yeah, okay 01:15:14.460 --> 01:15:19.540 There's so many people you he's a contractor. This is this is wild dude.

Yeah, it's just that 01:20:39.420 --> 01:20:44.940 Everyone has to pay into it in order to keep the deductibles and the premiums down for everybody. Yeah 01:20:47.300 --> 01:20:51.940 Cool medication Medication used to be completely subsidized and they pulled that back 01:20:52.460 --> 01:20:56.660 So you can get even more of it subsidized with private health insurance, but you don't need it 01:20:56.660 --> 01:20:59.940 I have this is the first job. I've ever had health insurance 01:21:01.220 --> 01:21:06.580 Yeah, really? I've been a contractor my like entire working. Oh, yeah, that makes sense. Yeah. Yeah 01:21:07.460 --> 01:21:10.460 Yeah, no, it's a it's a it's a whole thing like health insurance 01:21:10.940 --> 01:21:16.060 Health health absolutely costs money here. It's just that it's like a more 01:21:17.260 --> 01:21:24.380 For most people system it gets to luckily be somewhat of an afterthought. Yes. Oh, yeah, we don't think about it 01:21:24.380 --> 01:21:29.340 Not everyone knows some people have to you. Yeah, some people still have health health costs that are quite high. Yep 01:21:31.100 --> 01:21:35.780 But even even them as far as my understanding goes they are they're mostly well taken care of to be clear 01:21:35.780 --> 01:21:44.500 There are big downsides to the Canadian system. Oh, yeah, 100% we are at like a dire crazy need for more health care workers 01:21:45.380 --> 01:21:49.820 There are there are Some notable lacking points. Yep 01:21:49.820 --> 01:21:55.620 I know people personally who have had cancers advanced through stages because it took so long 01:21:55.620 --> 01:22:03.980 Yep to get the appointments that they needed But the flip side is I've never met anyone who just has their bones at a bizarre angle because they broke their ARM and couldn't afford 01:22:04.020 --> 01:22:11.100 To have it set. Yes. Yeah Every time I've had something, you know, something like that some sports injury when I was a kid or something 01:22:11.100 --> 01:22:17.220 We went to the hospital. I got my stuff taken care of and we left and there was no credit card machine on the way out 01:22:17.300 --> 01:22:22.900 None of our health insurers CEOs have been gunned down in the street. Yeah, not one yet 01:22:23.220 --> 01:22:25.220 I 01:22:33.540 --> 01:22:36.940 Thanks for finally restocking the big case Luke. How was your final fantasy journey going? 01:22:44.940 --> 01:22:48.820 So I was I was approached by a member of the HR team Dan hold on 01:22:48.820 --> 01:22:51.420 I don't think my headphones are working. All I hear is excuse excuse 01:22:52.260 --> 01:22:54.660 Oh, yeah, I've got a wine in mine 01:22:57.540 --> 01:23:01.860 I was approached by a member of the HR team that informed me that starting this coming Monday 01:23:01.860 --> 01:23:06.060 If I took my mandatory vacation time, I would have to take the whole rest of the year off 01:23:08.020 --> 01:23:12.540 Okay, that's not really gonna work Because I have to do things 01:23:12.660 --> 01:23:15.940 But I am gonna take some of it off and I don't have any plans 01:23:16.580 --> 01:23:20.700 So I'm gonna be Final Fantasy before the end of the year Final Fantasy 6 specifically 01:23:20.700 --> 01:23:22.940 He's been working on it for since it came out 01:23:25.420 --> 01:23:31.020 But yeah, what part are you even on have you have you advanced at all from the last time we talked about it? 01:23:31.020 --> 01:23:36.740 No, we're yet. I forget. I can't even remember anymore. I'm the the the main character 01:23:36.740 --> 01:23:43.140 We went and saw like how they were born essentially. Okay, and then we have to go fight those dudes 01:23:43.260 --> 01:23:45.260 Okay, just how the game works 01:23:46.380 --> 01:23:50.060 Yeah, so yeah, I will have time I have no major plans 01:23:50.940 --> 01:23:57.820 yet That's not spoilers obviously the main character was born at some point. That's not a story 01:23:57.820 --> 01:24:06.940 Oh, come on and fighting dudes in an RPG A spoiler for that game like come on came out in like 1994 at a certain point. We have to be able to talk about things. Yeah 01:24:08.060 --> 01:24:12.060 Get to it. It's like in Jaws. They kill the shark. Oh no spoilers 01:24:13.660 --> 01:24:18.900 I've continued speaking of ancient content. I've been continuing my like old movie thing 01:24:18.900 --> 01:24:26.060 I finally watched Groundhog Day. Oh for the first time ever. Have you ever seen Groundhog? No as far as rom-coms go 01:24:26.460 --> 01:24:31.020 It's awesome. Oh, yeah I'm not a huge Bill Murray guy 01:24:31.020 --> 01:24:34.820 but maybe part of the problem is I've never watched Groundhog Day because he's like super charming and 01:24:35.420 --> 01:24:38.380 The the script is really tight and it's just 01:24:38.740 --> 01:24:44.660 The pacing of it is really like like fun and upbeat like I really am not that much of a not that much of a 01:24:45.460 --> 01:24:48.540 Rom-com guy, but it's it's kind of awesome 01:24:49.100 --> 01:24:56.540 Yeah, love it. Nice. Yeah, so and and what was great about it was it turned out that in 1985 they knew how to make decent movies 01:24:56.540 --> 01:25:06.620 It's just that the breakfast club wasn't one of them That's all dude, dude. You really like poking that nest. It deserves to be poked. So he ruined my weekend 01:25:06.620 --> 01:25:11.020 I ruined your weekend. Well, how do you ruin your weekend? Oh, I get okay. Oh, yeah 01:25:11.020 --> 01:25:15.860 You made me watch it. It was like that ruined your whole weekend and my weekends are very easy to ruin 01:25:15.860 --> 01:25:23.700 Oh, you gotta be less affected by things my guy Everything hurts all the time. Well, it's actually a spectacular does not let me be hyperbolic ever 01:25:23.700 --> 01:25:30.700 I Wasted a lot of his time on his weekend because I wasted whatever time he spent finding the breakfast club 01:25:30.700 --> 01:25:35.460 I wasted whatever time he spent watching it and I wasted whatever time he spent at the end going 01:25:38.460 --> 01:25:45.540 Sitting crying So far I am converting people one at a time who watched the movie a long time ago and are like, yeah breakfast club 01:25:45.540 --> 01:25:51.100 Yeah, and I'm like, okay here are all the problems. I have with it and so far 01:25:51.100 --> 01:25:56.740 I have ruined it for Reese from logistics and Dan already because they've gone back and watching them like yeah 01:25:57.660 --> 01:26:03.660 Yeah, I Have no idea what I saw this before I remember liking little bits of it and stuff 01:26:03.660 --> 01:26:11.980 But like I came out of it being like yeah The ending especially I well the endings like the one part that everybody loves about it really 01:26:12.980 --> 01:26:17.140 The start was amazing I thought the setup was actually really good 01:26:17.140 --> 01:26:22.060 I was into it ten out of ten that was probably the scripted part at the main thing that I didn't like 01:26:22.900 --> 01:26:27.020 Yeah, the character development of the one what character development 01:26:27.660 --> 01:26:31.780 No, there's there's one that it's you wish it didn't happen. Oh, yeah 01:26:31.780 --> 01:26:38.660 Oh my god, so many people wish that didn't mean the girl with the legitimate mental illness who puts on some eyeliner and is now acceptable 01:26:38.980 --> 01:26:48.300 Yeah That one's like, what are we doing? What are we talking about here? What a phone box? Are those like conspiracy theories? 01:26:49.100 --> 01:26:54.620 What what did you realize the whole thing was a dream by Claire or the main female character what? 01:26:56.300 --> 01:27:04.100 That is now that's a yeah, that's wow. That's a reach. I don't think I accept that. That's that's a reach 01:27:04.820 --> 01:27:13.740 Dude, anyway Anyway, groundhog day excellent. So yeah, I'm and Dan I have I have one of the things you recommend 01:27:14.580 --> 01:27:19.140 Red line red line. That's not even though. That's from like 2000 set. Oh god 01:27:20.140 --> 01:27:24.820 I didn't actually I just thought it was a good movie. You should watch. I didn't know how that was so long ago 01:27:25.220 --> 01:27:29.160 Don't shut up. It was an incredible. That's like three years ago. Shut up Luke 01:27:30.300 --> 01:27:32.300 1990 was 35 01:27:33.300 --> 01:27:41.340 Oh No, no, three years three years. Did you know that in a few weeks it will have been a quarter century since 2000 01:27:44.580 --> 01:27:47.500 Pentium 2 came out a couple months ago. It's all okay 01:27:48.140 --> 01:27:52.580 And the next technology is cutting edge a quarter of a hundred years 01:27:53.380 --> 01:27:59.740 after the millennium How does it feel and the iPhone still has bugs? Yeah 01:28:03.060 --> 01:28:08.980 PS3 is a retro console. That was one that blew my mind a little while ago. It's like the Wii 01:28:09.140 --> 01:28:15.780 It's not just outdated. It's retro the wheeze of retro dude. How how many years ago did the ps4 come out? 01:28:16.420 --> 01:28:22.900 It's not retro, but it's Gonna get there. I'm amazed that anybody knows what your notebook is 01:28:24.780 --> 01:28:28.260 So old there's probably people watching this that weren't alive 01:28:28.860 --> 01:28:35.580 It's 2013. Well, yeah, I don't know if too many 11-year-olds watch the wine show. I guarantee you there's a couple 01:28:35.580 --> 01:28:40.660 There's probably a couple. Yeah, it's like ps4 is like my dad's console. Yeah 01:28:42.700 --> 01:28:47.660 We had that when I was like a kid. Yeah, oh my god, the Nostalgia first 01:28:50.860 --> 01:28:55.740 Jeez, Jake's uncharted 5 Nostalgic people are trying to mute you 01:28:57.180 --> 01:29:03.780 Voice is so much lower than mine. I'm sure that then could just put a filter probably. Okay. What are we supposed to be doing right now? 01:29:03.780 --> 01:29:10.900 We could do we could do another merge message. Sure. I don't know. Wow Dan's been too busy interacting with the show here and 01:29:12.340 --> 01:29:14.340 His incomings are 01:29:17.580 --> 01:29:20.780 HR my boss is laughing about how much work I have to do 01:29:22.900 --> 01:29:24.900 Have to do it 01:29:26.380 --> 01:29:30.580 You're my boss, he's not technically wrong. Yeah, you can tell him he doesn't have to do it 01:29:30.580 --> 01:29:36.140 It is tech but will you actually I should message AJ about that. Yeah, we'll get angry if I talk to him 01:29:39.740 --> 01:29:43.500 Oh my god, AJ goes all these people are pissing me off that 01:29:44.700 --> 01:29:55.600 Hi, LLD great to see the precision screwdriver back Man, oh my god, that's what he meant. Oh great to see this precision screwdriver back to 80 now shut shut 01:30:01.960 --> 01:30:03.960 Read it yourself then 01:30:06.720 --> 01:30:10.960 Should I wait for the future that shut down shut up your face 01:30:14.280 --> 01:30:16.280 Put some more water in it 01:30:17.800 --> 01:30:25.520 Okay, 82 HR went home an hour ago. I can't do anything 01:30:27.400 --> 01:30:29.900 Abuse on the weekend since it's free game 01:30:34.400 --> 01:30:39.960 I have to do one every 13 seconds for four hours that's great if I read them I get behind 01:30:40.400 --> 01:30:49.840 Great to see the precision screwdrivers back in stock Should I wait for the 50 series to release before getting the new 4070s or by now before Trump tariffs? 01:30:49.880 --> 01:30:53.920 Does the same apply for used? That's like that's almost like financial advice 01:30:55.920 --> 01:31:01.480 I think that the incoming administration is actually starting to figure out how tariffs work again 01:31:01.480 --> 01:31:04.840 I think they may have forgotten because it's been four years. I 01:31:06.240 --> 01:31:12.440 Strongly doubt that we're actually going to see I like the rhetoric has kind of cooled down a little bit now 01:31:12.480 --> 01:31:19.080 That now that some reverse rhetoric has started and it's like hey like we will do this we can just actually stop like 01:31:19.640 --> 01:31:23.920 sending energy to like Minnesota 01:31:24.400 --> 01:31:31.520 So like I don't know That the inaugurations in like January you might need some energy 01:31:32.720 --> 01:31:37.160 So now that now that that's been kind of kind of happening really a really interesting 01:31:37.840 --> 01:31:44.640 Side-effect of this whole thing has been the the national is it the renationalization of capabilities? 01:31:45.280 --> 01:31:48.240 Like one that one that came up recently was what was it? 01:31:53.160 --> 01:31:57.760 The exact example that I'm trying to bring up but like in this whole sort of 01:31:58.720 --> 01:32:01.680 Sometimes actual sometimes pseudo trade war that's going on 01:32:02.320 --> 01:32:05.440 When you stop countries from being able to import things 01:32:05.960 --> 01:32:11.160 You know instead of just not having it they're learning how to make it that's happening in the US 01:32:11.160 --> 01:32:13.320 That's happening in in other countries 01:32:14.680 --> 01:32:21.600 And I think it's gonna start backfiring in big ways as we like you when you go like okay 01:32:21.600 --> 01:32:26.000 We don't want you to be capable of this thing So we're not gonna give it to you and then they're like okay 01:32:26.000 --> 01:32:30.920 Well now we're not reliant on you for it anymore and we're gonna have it anyways and to be clear 01:32:30.920 --> 01:32:38.240 I'm not saying that Canada should stop exporting energy to the States. Yeah, I'm saying that you should have bilateral cooperation 01:32:38.680 --> 01:32:46.760 Yeah, and so we should work together. That's a good thing. It's it's it's good. It's there. I wonder what the hmm Wow 01:32:46.760 --> 01:32:51.200 This is probably it's hmm Do I even want to bring this? Yeah, no 01:32:51.920 --> 01:32:56.480 Water are we thinking the same thing? No, what happens if you stop a river forget it? 01:32:57.000 --> 01:33:00.400 the point is just that the point is that 01:33:01.880 --> 01:33:08.880 I am hoping I am more hopeful that between now and January common sense will prevail and 01:33:09.520 --> 01:33:14.760 We will not be in a tariff fueled trade war immediately and 01:33:15.400 --> 01:33:22.540 Hopefully things won't just Go up in price immediately because of no reason other than because we thought it was a good idea 01:33:23.360 --> 01:33:30.960 I Don't know what 50 series is gonna look like and if I did I wouldn't be able to tell you 01:33:31.800 --> 01:33:35.440 But what I will say is that if you go kind of Google the rumors 01:33:35.600 --> 01:33:43.680 It's rumored to be coming pretty soon and if you know Blackwell is anything to go by like NVIDIA's data center products 01:33:44.800 --> 01:33:49.680 The generational uplift could be pretty good. That's all I can really tell you 01:33:50.040 --> 01:33:56.040 If your price point is like 4070 super ish 01:33:56.920 --> 01:34:05.560 Based on how NVIDIA has launched Previous families and how they've kind of launched the top-end cards to start and then trickled down as they go 01:34:05.920 --> 01:34:10.760 It may not be that you can get a 50 series immediately at that kind of price point 01:34:11.160 --> 01:34:16.400 However, once the new family arrives, it's possible that we will see some compression of 01:34:17.320 --> 01:34:28.200 Pricing and down below them to make room for the new card So we will also see how they decide to respond or not respond to Intel given a new family only arrives every couple of years 01:34:28.200 --> 01:34:35.040 Or so now I would say we're close enough to the rumored release now that I would probably hold off if I'm looking at a high-end GPU 01:34:35.040 --> 01:34:39.800 If I'm looking at a low-end GPU, I'm buying an arc battle mage right now if I can get my hands on one 01:34:39.800 --> 01:34:45.400 So 4070 or so I'd say you're I'd say you're maybe in the waiting price band 01:34:46.400 --> 01:34:48.400 I 01:34:50.000 --> 01:34:56.640 Another one, yeah, maybe sure sure with AI chips dominating in videos focused 01:34:56.640 --> 01:35:02.080 You think modern games can adapt to use more of the initial compute from tensor cores the b100 has 01:35:02.280 --> 01:35:08.680 20 ish times more tensor core tensor flops more than standard graphics on a 4090 01:35:08.680 --> 01:35:13.680 I mean, I think that's what we're seeing in the form of you know deep learning super sampling and frame gen 01:35:13.680 --> 01:35:17.520 We're we're seeing those tensor cores being used in gaming 01:35:17.840 --> 01:35:22.320 Like NVIDIA's g-force division is getting this hardware and they're kind of going okay 01:35:22.320 --> 01:35:28.560 Well, what the crap do we do with this stuff? So I think absolutely we're gonna see more AI built right into 01:35:29.040 --> 01:35:31.840 NVIDIA's products whether it's in terms of like 01:35:33.120 --> 01:35:39.280 Video encoding I wouldn't be surprised by that whether it's in terms of gamer friendly features like background noise reduction 01:35:39.280 --> 01:35:49.040 I don't know that we will just See straight up compute from tensor cores integrated into games like in the form of like enemy behavior or anything like that 01:35:49.320 --> 01:35:53.720 Be kind of cool. I Mean I'd be kind of into it 01:35:53.720 --> 01:35:57.680 But I mean looking at how finally with Indiana Jones in the great circle 01:35:57.680 --> 01:36:02.520 We are getting a game that requires RTX and I don't mean that in a bad way 01:36:02.520 --> 01:36:06.160 I don't mean like oh it requires RTX because developers are lazy or whatever 01:36:06.160 --> 01:36:09.440 I mean, it's actually fulfilling the promise that NVIDIA gave us back with 01:36:11.360 --> 01:36:17.600 GeForce 2000 series where it was going to be a boon to developers because instead of having to do all these weird tricks and 01:36:17.760 --> 01:36:25.360 Hacker to get lighting to work. They were just going to Place light sources and place in game elements and the light was going to bounce around naturally like it would 01:36:25.680 --> 01:36:30.320 This is the first game that's actually doing that and we're like six years on from RTX 2000 01:36:30.320 --> 01:36:39.040 I forget what the exact timing is So, yeah, we've started to get these AI accelerators on our on our GPUs 01:36:39.480 --> 01:36:43.560 But we are still probably a few years away from anyone developing a game that 01:36:43.800 --> 01:36:49.800 Assumes that they will be there and a big part of the reason for that is that while NVIDIA has been baking them into their GPUs for a 01:36:49.800 --> 01:36:56.560 Long time everyone else was a little slower on the uptake and we're only now getting like integrated processors that have AI 01:36:57.480 --> 01:37:05.320 Processing on them the neural processing units So and I don't know is is there much in the way of neural processing on any of the current gen consoles? 01:37:05.520 --> 01:37:10.400 Because I don't I don't really think there is I don't think so So I don't know a lot about the consoles. I could be wrong 01:37:10.400 --> 01:37:13.960 But if we were going to get like AI powered 01:37:14.520 --> 01:37:24.360 enemy AI for instance Then I think you'd have to see a console generation that leans heavily into it and that encourages developers to implement it at this point 01:37:24.360 --> 01:37:26.680 Do you think you would need a handheld that could do it? 01:37:27.760 --> 01:37:32.320 No, not that impactful. I don't think so. No, I think the I think the the TV 01:37:32.720 --> 01:37:35.660 Console still matters enough for at least another generation 01:37:39.200 --> 01:37:41.700 Interesting are we doing one more we doing topics? 01:37:43.120 --> 01:37:47.200 Yeah, let's do some topics. Yeah, why not? All right topic time. Hey, do you want to talk about AI? 01:37:47.200 --> 01:37:54.040 There's been some AI stuff this week. Sure, Sora. Yeah, Sora is out and there is other AI news open 01:37:54.040 --> 01:38:00.560 AI's 12 days of announcements continued this week with Monday's release of Sora the AI video generator that blew everyone's minds back in 01:38:00.600 --> 01:38:04.960 February and they give it to a couple people and then they stopped doing that probably because they're really so expensive it was 01:38:05.560 --> 01:38:09.280 Put that in myself. I definitely thought this is from Riley 01:38:09.280 --> 01:38:15.480 I definitely thought it had been longer realistic AI video is so normalized. That is yeah, that is very true 01:38:15.800 --> 01:38:19.840 To the point where I really question a lot of the stuff that I see these days 01:38:22.040 --> 01:38:30.120 Anyways chat gpt plus and pro subscribers have access but of course Marques Brownlee had already been playing with Sora for a few weeks now 01:38:30.640 --> 01:38:35.120 And then there are some of his examples. Are you bringing those out? Okay? 01:38:36.520 --> 01:38:47.040 While he brings those up on Wednesday open AI Re-gifted a present in the form of chat gbt integration in Apple intelligence which Apple shipped along with their other AI features this week 01:38:47.080 --> 01:38:53.040 Most importantly mail categorization which is maybe nice and could also lead to you getting in trouble because you didn't respond 01:38:53.040 --> 01:38:56.960 Wow, it's a fake news report Wow 01:38:57.000 --> 01:39:03.120 Yeah, the background is definitely not perfect text is not right, but if I wasn't paying careful attention plug 01:39:04.920 --> 01:39:12.040 Plug bug. I like the text personally. Oh, do you see the tech reviewer? Check out the tech reviewer. Yep 01:39:13.360 --> 01:39:15.360 Open it up 01:39:17.400 --> 01:39:22.680 Wow Whoa, where'd that phone come from? Yeah. Yeah. Whoa 01:39:23.680 --> 01:39:27.520 He's a tech reviewer and a magician close-up magic expert. Yeah 01:39:30.200 --> 01:39:35.120 That's smooth, I mean now I kind of you know what's funny you want to like edit that dude 01:39:35.360 --> 01:39:38.760 We totally have a video coming where I pull that 01:39:39.840 --> 01:39:44.680 I'm gonna I'm gonna go find it in Trello right now while you continue talking about things 01:39:44.680 --> 01:39:55.780 So you're I'm out on screen share for a little bit here Yeah, also on Wednesday Google announced Gemini 2.0, which is demo, which it demoed powering an updated project Astra 01:39:56.280 --> 01:39:58.780 Which I open up really quick 01:40:00.320 --> 01:40:05.140 Nipolas cage says you should probably look at the news that broke at the top of the show about open AI 01:40:05.160 --> 01:40:08.840 Yeah, I don't know if we have that anywhere in the dark 01:40:08.840 --> 01:40:13.920 I will try to get to that Maybe we'll get through these notes and then I'll try to see if we can get something on that 01:40:14.480 --> 01:40:18.120 But it is potentially relatively big news, but we'll we'll have to see 01:40:19.360 --> 01:40:27.440 The there's the project Astro assistant with real-time video input as well as AI agents for gaming and controlling your browser 01:40:30.320 --> 01:40:36.280 Open AI answered by adding real-time video input to chat GPT advanced voice mode on Thursday 01:40:36.640 --> 01:40:40.120 Friday's announcement was a nothing burger just projects in chat GPT 01:40:40.680 --> 01:40:47.040 Elsewhere in the AI verse reddit is talking is taking on Google and chat GPT with reddit answers 01:40:47.800 --> 01:40:55.720 Wow, that's actually a great idea a new AI powered search tool meant to replace adding reddit to the end of your Google searches 01:40:55.720 --> 01:41:02.920 Which is a lot of mine a literature class at UCLA is planning to use AI generated textbooks in 2025 01:41:03.080 --> 01:41:07.080 But it's way, but it's way better than it sounds 01:41:08.040 --> 01:41:13.400 That's not the sentence that I expected to follow that up the textbooks made by kudu a 01:41:13.960 --> 01:41:20.760 Company that collaborated with the courses professor who provided course notes presentations and other material from previous 01:41:20.840 --> 01:41:25.680 iterations of the class to generate the textbook over the course of four months kudu charges students 01:41:25.800 --> 01:41:29.720 25 bucks per semester to access the textbook digitally 01:41:30.160 --> 01:41:34.360 That's I mean, it's a lot cheaper than buying some of these textbooks 01:41:34.600 --> 01:41:40.600 Interesting providing an alternative to paying through the nose for barely changed new editions of traditional checks textbooks 01:41:41.480 --> 01:41:45.720 Interesting that's not that bad. Okay. Well, I mean, we'll see depends on how much it hallucinates 01:41:45.720 --> 01:41:49.240 We'll see how their final exams go and then we'll evaluate it from there. Yeah build this 01:41:50.280 --> 01:41:53.000 Agent orange instead of you know a random cleaner 01:41:53.800 --> 01:42:02.120 AI company artisan AI company artisan drew criticism for buying billboards through san francisco that say stop hiring humans 01:42:05.000 --> 01:42:11.960 Okay, we're gonna we're gonna look at that for a second. Are you kidding me? Wow. Wow 01:42:13.400 --> 01:42:19.960 Wow I don't know if you heard about this, but something happened to a health care ceo recently. Um, anyways 01:42:20.520 --> 01:42:25.960 Advertising their sales rep AI agents artisan ceo jazz. Hmm artisan 01:42:28.280 --> 01:42:32.440 Say it luke class war 01:42:33.240 --> 01:42:35.240 The artisan ceo acknowledged 01:42:36.840 --> 01:42:41.400 Are somewhat dystopian But also so is AI 01:42:41.640 --> 01:42:47.720 And they gave the AI laser eyes. What is happening? Is this real? They did 01:42:48.600 --> 01:42:53.320 It has laser eyes Yeah, that's a creepy. What are they doing? 01:42:54.600 --> 01:42:56.600 What is it? 01:42:57.720 --> 01:43:06.040 I don't know dude, I don't know Anyways, yeah, did you did you you're still looking for that thing? Okay, so I'm gonna try to pick up an article on this 01:43:06.600 --> 01:43:12.760 No, I've already got the blog post from I'm I'm so sorry. I'm gonna try hard. Uh, sucier belaji 01:43:13.000 --> 01:43:19.560 Yeah, yeah, yeah The 26 year old open AI whistleblower who was found dead. This is his last post on x 01:43:20.360 --> 01:43:27.080 I recently participated in a new york times story about fair use in generative AI and why i'm skeptical that fair use would be a 01:43:27.160 --> 01:43:29.800 Plausible defense for a lot of generative AI products 01:43:30.200 --> 01:43:35.640 I also wrote a blog post about the nitty-gritty details of fair use and why I believe this to give some context 01:43:35.640 --> 01:43:39.480 I was at open AI for nearly four years and worked on chat gpt for the last one and a half of them 01:43:39.880 --> 01:43:47.880 I initially didn't know much about copyright fair use etc But became curious after seeing all the lawsuits filed against gen AI companies when I tried to understand the issue better 01:43:47.880 --> 01:43:53.560 I eventually came to the conclusion that fair use seems like a pretty implausible defense for a lot of generative AI products 01:43:53.800 --> 01:43:58.840 for the basic reason That they can create substitutes that compete with the data they're trained on 01:43:59.240 --> 01:44:02.360 I've written up the more detailed reasons for why I believe this in my post 01:44:02.760 --> 01:44:07.080 Obviously, I'm not a lawyer But I still feel like it's important for even non lawyers to understand the law 01:44:07.320 --> 01:44:10.280 Both the letter of it and also why it's actually there in the first place 01:44:10.760 --> 01:44:14.920 That being said, I don't want this to read as a critique of chat gpt or open AI per se 01:44:15.160 --> 01:44:19.320 Because fair use and generative AI is a much broader issue than any one product or company 01:44:19.640 --> 01:44:23.320 I highly encourage machine learning researchers to learn more about copyright 01:44:23.480 --> 01:44:29.560 It's a really important topic and precedent that's often cited like google books isn't actually as supportive as it might seem 01:44:30.120 --> 01:44:34.040 Feel free to get in touch if you'd like to chat about fair use machine learning or copyright 01:44:34.280 --> 01:44:38.440 I think it's a very interesting intersection my emails on my personal website 01:44:46.840 --> 01:44:51.240 And he actually he wrote like a little paper on it on his website 01:44:52.120 --> 01:44:57.160 Yeah, which is the only thing on the website, which is really good because yeah 01:44:57.160 --> 01:45:01.240 No fair use is a super super not a good and stupid defense 01:45:02.360 --> 01:45:08.120 For training your models with copyrighted works. It doesn't it fall it would fall apart immediately unless 01:45:08.440 --> 01:45:10.440 Absolutely, you manage to get the case 01:45:11.560 --> 01:45:13.960 Overseen by a completely corrupt court 01:45:14.760 --> 01:45:16.760 Um 01:45:18.360 --> 01:45:21.480 Okay, wow, that's uh, that's really sad 01:45:24.760 --> 01:45:26.760 Um 01:45:32.120 --> 01:45:37.960 What else we got in AI news did you make it through everything else? I think I made it through okay. Well, um 01:45:39.880 --> 01:45:43.320 You don't hear about other crazy stuff. Did you find the thing in the trailer thing? I did find the thing 01:45:43.400 --> 01:45:47.080 Do we want to show that or something? So we did a video on ferroelectric RAM 01:45:48.120 --> 01:45:53.880 um and We did like kind of a silly thing in the intro watch my hand 01:46:01.720 --> 01:46:03.720 Okay, so wait for it wait for it 01:46:05.560 --> 01:46:10.520 This is a good video by the way Hold on hold on wait for it 01:46:11.080 --> 01:46:13.080 Okay, so I get this other thing 01:46:17.640 --> 01:46:22.680 Okay, blah blah blah something something radiation it's resistant to that 01:46:29.880 --> 01:46:34.760 I don't know we were just on set and I was like, oh that'd be kind of fun. We should just do like a silly like, uh 01:46:36.920 --> 01:46:45.400 I just thought it'd be kind of fun That's pretty sweet. Yeah, just the fact that it was so similar to that AI generated video that marquez had yeah, that's cool 01:46:45.960 --> 01:46:49.320 People are unsure if it's editing magic or magic magic. Who cares? 01:46:50.200 --> 01:46:57.720 That's part of the magic Magician never tells you how they did their trick speaking of freaking magic, dude 01:46:57.800 --> 01:47:01.000 Google announced quantum breakthrough with their willow chip if you looked at this 01:47:01.880 --> 01:47:07.560 No, you did I linked in the thing early in the week. I know I thought you would look at I've had an incredibly busy week 01:47:08.920 --> 01:47:11.560 I can't use that excuse. I use the word incredibly 01:47:13.800 --> 01:47:21.960 Uh, oh there it is. Uh, google has created a new quantum chip called willow that can reduce errors exponentially as it scales up 01:47:22.520 --> 01:47:24.760 A major breakthrough in quantum error correction 01:47:25.640 --> 01:47:34.600 Willow performed a computation under five minutes that would have taken one of today's fastest supercomputers 10 septillion years to complete 01:47:35.080 --> 01:47:40.680 Showcasing its potential for solving complex problems beyond the capabilities of classic computers. Uh, this is 01:47:41.240 --> 01:47:45.000 Genuinely a new form of compute. Uh by all accounts 01:47:45.000 --> 01:47:51.800 This seems to be a genuine breakthrough by google in contrast to their much debated declaration of quantum supremacy back in 2019 01:47:52.280 --> 01:47:55.880 Uh, and maybe they're uh, all it takes is what is it? 01:47:55.880 --> 01:48:00.120 All it takes is attention or whatever that article was that really sparked this whole AI thing 01:48:00.120 --> 01:48:03.480 And then they weren't on the forefront of it despite writing the article on it anyways 01:48:04.040 --> 01:48:09.160 However, google told the verge that their chip won't break modern cryptography so everyone can just 01:48:10.360 --> 01:48:19.400 Chill for now for now Until willow too. What else we got and then nation states come give us money, please. Oh, this is funny 01:48:20.280 --> 01:48:24.440 Microsoft recall preview doesn't honor privacy settings 01:48:25.240 --> 01:48:29.320 Recall is back in the Windows insiders program after being pulled in june 01:48:29.800 --> 01:48:33.240 Over met lots of backlash massive privacy concerns, etc 01:48:33.560 --> 01:48:37.160 The new version allegedly encrypts screens that it captures 01:48:37.240 --> 01:48:40.680 It's supposed to filter sensitive information and that is enabled by default 01:48:40.680 --> 01:48:45.800 This prevents it from recording apps websites showing credit card number social security numbers and other important financial information 01:48:46.600 --> 01:48:50.680 Tom's hardware test should recall and discovered the filter doesn't work very well 01:48:51.000 --> 01:48:55.640 credit card info and a random username and password and notepad was captured despite 01:48:56.120 --> 01:48:59.480 Capital one visa being written alongside the information 01:49:00.120 --> 01:49:04.520 A loan application pdf and edge was recorded including social security name and date of birth 01:49:04.840 --> 01:49:11.160 And they created an html page with a web form that said enter your credit card number below with fields for card type number 01:49:11.400 --> 01:49:14.040 cvc and expiration date and it captured this too 01:49:14.920 --> 01:49:19.880 It did work for some real world commerce sites that were tested like primaroni and adafruit 01:49:20.440 --> 01:49:24.680 Only the before and after screens were captured leaving out the credit card information in those cases 01:49:25.080 --> 01:49:29.560 And when tom's hardware reached out to microsoft for a comment, they were directed to a blog post which states 01:49:29.960 --> 01:49:34.920 We have updated recall to detect sensitive information like credit card details passwords and personal identification numbers 01:49:35.080 --> 01:49:43.480 When detected recall won't save or store these snapshots We'll continue to improve this functionality and if you find sensitive information that should be filtered out for your context language or geography 01:49:43.560 --> 01:49:50.040 Please let us know through the feedback hub We've also provided an option in settings that we encourage you to enable that will anonymously share the apps and sites that you prefer 01:49:50.120 --> 01:49:52.760 To be excluded from recall to help us improve our product 01:49:55.080 --> 01:50:01.800 Nice Hey, at least the new version is going to be a database of all the smut on the internet 01:50:03.240 --> 01:50:05.240 I mean, do we need another one? 01:50:06.600 --> 01:50:08.600 Luke, I think that's just called the internet. Yeah 01:50:10.040 --> 01:50:16.040 With facebook To their credit the new version is opt in instead of opt out 01:50:16.200 --> 01:50:21.640 Oh, that's a lot better and you need to use Windows. Hello to open the recall app to see what it's recorded 01:50:22.040 --> 01:50:26.600 That's something that's something making it opt in solves most of my problem with it 01:50:26.600 --> 01:50:31.560 Yes to be completely honest the files are encrypted and could not be easily opened without 01:50:32.120 --> 01:50:38.200 Actually biometrically authenticating or using a pin. So that's the good news, but also like, you know 01:50:39.240 --> 01:50:43.080 Yeah Don't turn it on but hey, you can buy a car on amazon 01:50:43.800 --> 01:50:49.000 Amazon is launching amazon auto with initial partner Hyundai to make buying cars easier than ever 01:50:49.160 --> 01:50:54.760 Really they have plans to feature other brands in the future you pick your car trim options to browse local availability at participating 01:50:54.760 --> 01:51:01.560 Dealers with fixed transparent pricing get an instant quote on your trade-in secure financing check out and schedule a pickup time 01:51:02.440 --> 01:51:09.720 Should we do it? Should I buy a Hyundai on amazon? Why I don't know. Maybe I want a Hyundai ever think of that 01:51:09.960 --> 01:51:13.640 I don't think it's going to be like an interesting experience. No, I don't think I really don't 01:51:13.960 --> 01:51:17.960 I don't know but people are saying yes people want it. Yeah, but they're going to say yes to and hey 01:51:17.960 --> 01:51:23.880 Do you guys literally 100 of you use firefox? Does literally every single full-plane user use firefox? 01:51:23.880 --> 01:51:27.480 Is this true at scab again? Is that true? What do you guys think? 01:51:27.800 --> 01:51:39.080 Whoa, they're saying yes No way, that's crazy imagine imagine that that's wild 100 of an internet user base all using the same type of browser 01:51:39.240 --> 01:51:43.720 You're kind of a Oh 01:51:46.600 --> 01:51:50.280 Okay, two things one this seems like a kind of a weird business decision 01:51:50.840 --> 01:51:55.720 To me because what was that? I thought there was like a buy a car online company that popped up during covid 01:51:55.800 --> 01:51:59.080 And then people realized it like wasn't making money at all and it just super died 01:51:59.640 --> 01:52:05.480 Probably I don't remember and then also this isn't the first time you've been able to buy cars on the car. You could buy that 01:52:05.640 --> 01:52:09.960 You could buy them on ebay That was crazy this I don't know 01:52:10.760 --> 01:52:15.720 It's just like a big box Can compared to what they normally ship it in I guess not a big box 01:52:16.360 --> 01:52:18.600 How do they drop it off and he knows big boxes? 01:52:20.920 --> 01:52:23.080 No, uh, big box enthusiast 01:52:24.360 --> 01:52:29.080 Do you think it goes to the big box store? Do you think it's an individual like flatbed that drops it off? 01:52:29.240 --> 01:52:35.320 Do you have to go pick it up somewhere? You probably have to still pick it up Yeah, because it's local dealers so you still have to go to a dealer. So then like what's the point? 01:52:35.480 --> 01:52:39.720 They can still try to sell you some you know undercoding. Why did we do this? I don't know 01:52:39.720 --> 01:52:43.080 I mean I didn't Seems like a stupid idea 01:52:45.320 --> 01:52:49.080 Have LTT in ShortCircuit gone too far with the clickbait 01:52:50.680 --> 01:52:54.680 Um, have they Floatplane the topic is and this was written up by elijah. Oh good 01:52:55.400 --> 01:52:59.640 Yes, folks. We did see the reddit thread titled what happened to video titles 01:53:03.880 --> 01:53:07.080 And of course Floatplane says yes because they just say yes to anything 01:53:10.680 --> 01:53:14.440 He's so happy right now. I'm glad you make him happy 01:53:15.960 --> 01:53:17.960 Do you enjoy do you enjoy pleasing luke? 01:53:25.320 --> 01:53:30.200 Yes, see this is what we're dealing with over here. This is this is what we're dealing with 01:53:31.560 --> 01:53:33.560 Okay 01:53:34.760 --> 01:53:41.080 So the what the hell did I walk back into Do you guys need a minute? I think it's more like what did you walk in on? Oh 01:53:41.800 --> 01:53:47.400 I need a minute the op was expressing some frustration with some of our recent titles being lies 01:53:48.200 --> 01:53:52.760 Some examples are the most recent AMD upgrade titled upgrading my big brother's setup 01:53:53.080 --> 01:53:56.200 And sure it wasn't and short circuits video titled 01:53:56.680 --> 01:54:03.240 This is a weird shape for a phone with the op explaining that the first lines in both of these videos had something along the lines of 01:54:03.720 --> 01:54:07.160 He's not my actual brother or it's not an actual phone 01:54:07.720 --> 01:54:11.560 Some comments as well are talking about us lying about renting an airbnb for the video 01:54:11.880 --> 01:54:15.000 Where we rented an airbnb and tried to find hidden cameras 01:54:15.560 --> 01:54:20.040 The reason this is even a wan topic today is because we would like to discuss with the community 01:54:20.360 --> 01:54:23.160 why our titles are the way that they are and 01:54:23.720 --> 01:54:27.720 Talk about how even if a fringe minority is upset about the titles 01:54:28.040 --> 01:54:31.720 We as a business are always experimenting and seeing what sticks and what doesn't 01:54:32.440 --> 01:54:39.400 Um, elijah says because believe me if it doesn't stick we adjust it ex the mac for poor people title 01:54:42.920 --> 01:54:45.400 How that made it out the door man, I approved it 01:54:49.560 --> 01:54:52.360 I saw I saw one of the community posts about that and I was like, that's fake 01:54:52.680 --> 01:54:56.280 I can that was that wasn't us and then I'm like, oh man like 01:54:56.920 --> 01:55:06.920 That's that's crazy. They're like so and then I was reading the comments I was like, no, I can tell you the context that existed that existed in my brain that made it so that I thought that was a funny title 01:55:07.320 --> 01:55:14.040 Because I've been trying to make a video called the background was tense. Hold on. I okay. I didn't notice. Oh, yeah 01:55:14.120 --> 01:55:18.840 That was bad. I did not notice that I would I would not have I didn't notice that 01:55:19.240 --> 01:55:22.760 But the the background that existed in my brain for why we made the decision 01:55:23.080 --> 01:55:27.160 was that I've been trying to convince the writing team to make a video that's like 01:55:27.960 --> 01:55:35.800 Brand X doesn't care about poor people for a long time because so many brands have abandoned their low-end products 01:55:36.840 --> 01:55:41.880 We we no longer have like a current gen 130 dollar CPU. This was not the way 01:55:42.440 --> 01:55:47.560 We no longer have a current gen 250 dollar GPU at least until thursday and so 01:55:48.360 --> 01:55:53.960 I was like apple Who has completely forgotten about poor people? 01:55:54.600 --> 01:55:58.040 forever I mean when's the last time they even made an iphone se? 01:55:58.840 --> 01:56:04.520 like honestly iphone So that was my whole thing apple finally like 01:56:05.160 --> 01:56:10.040 remembered not everybody has 1300 dollars to spend on a phone 01:56:10.520 --> 01:56:13.640 And like a 1500 dollars to spend on a computer 01:56:14.200 --> 01:56:20.040 That was where I go so we can't have our like genuinely decently affordable headphones either. That was where I was coming from 01:56:20.680 --> 01:56:23.320 Finally apple made a computer for poor people 01:56:24.040 --> 01:56:27.080 They like remembered that not everybody is a dentist 01:56:27.880 --> 01:56:31.320 And yeah, it didn't land. It didn't land anyway. No, um 01:56:32.040 --> 01:56:36.360 There's some discussion questions here, but first I would like to correct a couple of 01:56:36.920 --> 01:56:41.960 Misconceptions the first one that really got people mad was the airbnb one 01:56:43.400 --> 01:56:47.960 Okay, and that's the one that I actually most take exception to 01:56:48.440 --> 01:56:52.600 Because in that video, let's have a look at what this title was 01:56:53.160 --> 01:56:56.920 Okay, hold on where we had okay. Here we go. Here's the title 01:56:57.560 --> 01:57:03.640 Here's the thumbnail I rented an airbnb to look for hidden cameras 01:57:04.360 --> 01:57:07.880 Okay, there's our here's our thumbnail device 01:57:08.600 --> 01:57:13.480 Finds cameras Okay I rented an airbnb 01:57:13.880 --> 01:57:19.000 I did we shot this video in an airbnb that we rented really really 01:57:19.560 --> 01:57:23.320 Step two I looked for hidden 01:57:23.320 --> 01:57:29.400 He's not gonna lie when I watched it. I was like that's not his house Step two and I believed you rented one. I looked for hidden cameras 01:57:30.520 --> 01:57:35.640 I did you just didn't find it. Well, yeah, obviously not because like they're almost nowhere 01:57:35.640 --> 01:57:39.560 We had to ask for permission to use a place as a filming location yet numpties 01:57:40.200 --> 01:57:43.000 And no one's gonna be we had to tell them what we were doing 01:57:43.880 --> 01:57:50.360 Yeah That's fair and like I know some people are like well you should have like rented a bunch of airbnb's and searched them all 01:57:50.360 --> 01:57:54.120 It's like the vast majority are not gonna have any hidden electronics in them 01:57:54.600 --> 01:58:00.120 I'm sure it's a thing that technically happens, but actually finding one like there's I literally 01:58:00.840 --> 01:58:05.640 Rented an airbnb To look for hidden cameras. What the f*** do you want from me? 01:58:07.480 --> 01:58:10.680 And to show you the importance of titling on youtube 01:58:11.400 --> 01:58:13.880 This is how this video was performing 01:58:14.680 --> 01:58:19.640 When we had the initial title. What was it? Um, I think it was this 01:58:20.440 --> 01:58:24.760 Device can detect any electronics even when they're off. Oh, yeah, the new title is way better 01:58:24.840 --> 01:58:28.600 Which was a super straightforward straight shooter title. Yep 01:58:29.320 --> 01:58:35.800 Then we changed the title of the video. I forget exactly where we log it somewhere and it went show on 01:58:37.720 --> 01:58:43.400 Went from being A horrible under performer like the worst thing we'd uploaded in a couple of weeks 01:58:43.720 --> 01:58:47.320 To being an over performer so 01:58:47.320 --> 01:58:51.800 You know what? Yeah If my title is literally accurate 01:58:52.840 --> 01:58:56.360 And you're just like you're just like mad because we didn't 01:58:57.640 --> 01:59:01.720 Find a camera that we didn't put that like I'm sorry. It was a really good video guys 01:59:01.960 --> 01:59:05.400 If if they didn't actually rent an airbnb. I don't think they would have been 01:59:07.880 --> 01:59:11.800 I think they would have been lazy enough to just use like the kitchen set or your house 01:59:12.280 --> 01:59:15.560 I don't think they would have gone to painstakingly convince you that it's a 01:59:16.040 --> 01:59:21.480 A different house, but not actually pay for an airbnb Dude, we drove all the way to like Abbotsford or something like we actually like 01:59:22.040 --> 01:59:25.560 Rented an airbnb and went to an airbnb and shot in an airbnb 01:59:25.640 --> 01:59:31.960 We put in the work for crying out loud And then the funny thing about it to me is that other than that reddit thread 01:59:32.680 --> 01:59:39.480 almost No one was mad about the very next day us uploading the video with lucas 01:59:40.120 --> 01:59:46.200 Where it was like upgrading my big brother setup. Okay. He's not actually my brother. That was a good joke. It was just 01:59:47.560 --> 01:59:53.400 Guys, he's joke. He's joke. Opie. Are people actually upset about the brother thing? I was just the one guy. Okay 01:59:54.040 --> 01:59:58.120 Um And then as for what was the other one the the weird shape for a phone 01:59:58.280 --> 02:00:03.800 Yeah, so with the phone one The the only reason that I called it like a weird shape for a phone was because it's not a phone 02:00:03.800 --> 02:00:08.120 It doesn't have a sim slot and I acknowledge that first line of the video because like like they said 02:00:08.840 --> 02:00:15.960 But what it does have is it has a snapdragon processor that is very similar in performance and capabilities to a modern smartphone 02:00:16.360 --> 02:00:20.440 And that's why it's so expensive. It's like a six hundred dollar game boy thing 02:00:22.360 --> 02:00:27.000 But it's like it's got a touchscreen and runs like full-fat Android even though it 02:00:28.600 --> 02:00:33.000 Like has a game boy interface that honestly kind of blows like the form factors 02:00:33.320 --> 02:00:38.280 Like there's a reason nobody makes the game boy anymore Other than people who still make the game boy 02:00:38.600 --> 02:00:45.240 Um, I'm sure a few which there are a handful doing but it's not ergonomic. It's it's it's a very old very dated very 02:00:45.480 --> 02:00:50.280 Not ergonomic design. Yeah. Um, and so I just I just thought it was I just thought it was amusing 02:00:50.360 --> 02:00:52.760 I think that is probably the most 02:00:53.480 --> 02:00:59.400 sort of Valid complaint where people were actually mad and it was actually kind of misleading and I'm sorry and we fixed it 02:00:59.880 --> 02:01:03.720 Um, but yeah, we're we're always trying stuff because we never know what's gonna work and 02:01:04.680 --> 02:01:11.560 Ideating on titles is also incredibly freaking hard and I think people don't realize that and it's frustrating because when we name something 02:01:11.960 --> 02:01:18.440 Like that that um non-linear junction detector video when we name something literally what it is or what it does 02:01:19.160 --> 02:01:28.680 It performs like crap Nobody watches it. It's a great video. It's educational. It's entertaining. It's a good length 02:01:28.760 --> 02:01:32.840 It's very like just like eat some popcorn watchable like for crying out loud 02:01:33.960 --> 02:01:39.560 I don't know guys. I'm just I'm not gonna I'm not gonna apologize for having to put good content 02:01:40.760 --> 02:01:45.000 in shiny packaging um, and yeah, like we're 02:01:45.640 --> 02:01:51.320 We're gonna we're gonna fly too close to the sun sometimes and we're gonna have to sort of correct titles or we'll just have a 02:01:51.720 --> 02:01:55.720 Or we'll upload a or we'll have like a straight shooter title that we're gonna have to you know 02:01:55.800 --> 02:02:05.160 Lean farther into into making it more clickable But it's just part of the game and it's frustrating to me because I wish I could just call the video non-linear junction detectors explained 02:02:05.160 --> 02:02:08.920 These things are so cool because that that's what I felt about it. That's what I wanted to call it 02:02:08.920 --> 02:02:13.480 That's I was the one who came up with the title that was like this detects any electronics even if they're off 02:02:14.360 --> 02:02:18.840 But nobody clicked it or detects hidden hidden spy devices even if they're off or something like that 02:02:18.840 --> 02:02:21.400 I forget what it was, but I watched the 02:02:22.840 --> 02:02:27.080 The video I think I might have clicked on it before the title update 02:02:29.240 --> 02:02:35.640 Because I was interested in how it found electronics when they were off and if that was in the first title that that's probably why I clicked on it 02:02:35.880 --> 02:02:38.680 So that's that's some other things like you might get a different type of person 02:02:39.080 --> 02:02:41.400 But the type of people that want that first title just 02:02:42.120 --> 02:02:48.520 aren't as common So the video will perform worse. I wish we I wish we could abc titles as well 02:02:49.080 --> 02:02:53.080 What we're pairings of titles and thumbnails and stuff like that and not even lock into one 02:02:53.400 --> 02:02:59.960 But just have them be different depending on You know what youtube knows you're more likely to click on like I'd be super down for that 02:03:00.360 --> 02:03:03.400 It's a matter of time. Yeah, I was just thinking like what if you had like 02:03:03.960 --> 02:03:07.720 Five different title and thumbnail mixes for one video and it just served 02:03:08.200 --> 02:03:12.680 What it thought that user would like the most to the individual user instead of ab testing 02:03:15.160 --> 02:03:20.520 Sorry, I wasn't really listening but the airbnb thing says it was apparently actually kind of a pain because accounting was all over it 02:03:21.480 --> 02:03:29.000 Oh, that's really funny Anyway, Elijah says this is my thoughts on the whole thing and linked to a reddit post 02:03:29.240 --> 02:03:33.480 Is it his reddit post? Oh, Elijah 02:03:35.320 --> 02:03:40.200 Okay, one of our rules in the writing department is don't insult the audience and I know I break it once in a while 02:03:40.200 --> 02:03:44.280 But that doesn't mean you can Okay 02:03:44.440 --> 02:03:47.960 What are we supposed to be talking about? No, it's not apparently it's not his reddit post 02:03:48.200 --> 02:03:50.760 No, it wasn't it was someone being very rude 02:03:51.400 --> 02:03:55.800 Oh, I know it's not yours, Elijah, but you linked it. I like the title at the very least 02:03:56.360 --> 02:03:59.240 But Everyone knows it's this one 02:04:01.320 --> 02:04:08.680 No, I think he no No, I think oh, I thought it was the top response that he linked. No, okay fine. Yeah, that's fine 02:04:09.640 --> 02:04:14.520 Put down your keyboards and just enjoy the content there. We don't look at the top response. Yeah fixed 02:04:14.840 --> 02:04:21.080 I got you Elijah. You're good. Um, yeah. Yeah, we go back. Okay. Yeah, we're good. Thanks Elijah. Uh 02:04:21.880 --> 02:04:28.840 blu-rays Dude lg has discontinued their blu-ray and uhd blu-ray players 02:04:29.080 --> 02:04:32.760 This has been confirmed by flat panels hd lg korea 02:04:32.760 --> 02:04:37.480 Excuse me didn't confirm if this is a definitive and final exit from the optical disc player market 02:04:37.720 --> 02:04:44.280 So this could leave the door open in case they want to make a return But they haven't made any new models of blu-ray players since 2018 02:04:44.760 --> 02:04:49.480 And it's no secret that sales of blu-ray discs and players are on a very steep and steady 02:04:50.120 --> 02:04:52.680 decline and our discussion question here is 02:04:53.240 --> 02:04:57.800 Physical media, especially for movies is seen as far superior to streamings due to factor 02:04:58.360 --> 02:05:01.960 Far superior to streaming due to factors like higher bit rate and less compression 02:05:04.440 --> 02:05:07.640 What are we are we just not going to have 02:05:08.680 --> 02:05:12.600 Like a definitive quality version of new films anymore, I think so 02:05:13.160 --> 02:05:18.520 We'll streaming Will will we see a high quality streaming service that comes in to take the place? 02:05:19.000 --> 02:05:25.240 I don't think so either People won't pay for it. And if they do one person will pay for it. They'll rip it and then everyone else will just download it 02:05:25.240 --> 02:05:27.240 It's like kind of like with blu-rays 02:05:28.360 --> 02:05:32.120 Okay, this ended up being less of a main news topic and more of a short conversation 02:05:32.200 --> 02:05:36.920 But anyway, that's the thing that happens which is which is a bummer because yeah, blu-ray versions are like 02:05:37.800 --> 02:05:42.040 Definitely better and look way better and especially as display sizes continue to scale 02:05:42.040 --> 02:05:45.080 It's beginning going to become more of an issue like I was 02:05:46.280 --> 02:05:51.800 We did some sponsored spots for amazon luna earlier this week. I was shooting those with sammy and 02:05:53.320 --> 02:05:56.760 You know nothing against amazon luna latency feels pretty good. It seems pretty cool 02:05:56.760 --> 02:06:02.520 I got some great games on it But I fired it up on the 115 inch tv that I have in the theater room 02:06:02.680 --> 02:06:09.800 And I was like, oh that's a lot of compression And that's just the nature of the beast when it comes to stream content as you blow it up bigger and bigger 02:06:10.040 --> 02:06:14.120 Those those color banding blocks or those compression blocks get more and more noticeable 02:06:14.120 --> 02:06:20.920 I do think that local ai on our devices will help to smooth some of that stuff, but 02:06:21.880 --> 02:06:24.760 But You don't want those weird wheels in f1 02:06:24.920 --> 02:06:31.320 What I'd really just rather have because it's garbage in garbage out is not garbage to go in and then I could ai it even better 02:06:31.400 --> 02:06:37.000 You know like I'm you wanted or not or not. I've been seriously thinking buying a buying a blu-ray of 02:06:37.880 --> 02:06:42.840 Of the grand budapest hotel because I wanted to watch that with emma and I was like well 02:06:42.840 --> 02:06:47.160 I want a good quality version of it so like 02:06:47.160 --> 02:06:51.400 You heard it here first folks luke considered buying a blu-ray. How'd that go for you thought about it? 02:06:51.800 --> 02:06:57.880 Didn't end up doing it. Yeah, okay All you're part of the problem might might still do it. Well, I haven't acquired it any other way 02:06:57.880 --> 02:07:09.160 YouTube has broken video title links on publisher embedded videos and the source here is the verge 02:07:09.720 --> 02:07:15.080 Um, here's their article youtube quietly made it so that some of its web embeds are worse 02:07:15.560 --> 02:07:21.640 Including ours Here's why you can't click on the title to go back to youtube on our videos 02:07:21.640 --> 02:07:26.040 And this is an issue that I have to confess I had not considered at all 02:07:26.280 --> 02:07:33.080 What? YouTube embeds on some websites like the verge no longer let users click the video title to open it on youtube.com or the youtube app 02:07:33.400 --> 02:07:38.520 This is because youtube changed its youtube player for publishers to remove branding 02:07:38.760 --> 02:07:42.120 Which apparently includes the title link according to youtube 02:07:42.760 --> 02:07:48.200 Publishers who want the link back must use the standard youtube player which gives up ad revenue 02:07:48.360 --> 02:07:52.280 So youtube player for publishers allows you to put your own ads on it 02:07:53.240 --> 02:07:57.240 I didn't even know that youtube participated in the like 02:07:57.240 --> 02:08:04.280 No As just like a white box solution for like video embeds on your site. I like I knew like vimeo does stuff like that 02:08:04.280 --> 02:08:11.080 I know there's other like bespoke ones that specialize in like yoga courses and things like that. I had no idea that youtube even did this 02:08:12.120 --> 02:08:19.160 Anyway, if you use a default regular youtube embed that then youtube will make more money and publishers will make less 02:08:19.720 --> 02:08:23.960 YouTube says that this change is to protect advertisers and partners 02:08:24.360 --> 02:08:29.240 Because they don't have visibility into the ads that are served in the youtube player for publishers 02:08:29.800 --> 02:08:33.960 But publishers like the verge are frustrated um because 02:08:33.960 --> 02:08:38.120 they Can keep wait hold on because their options are to 02:08:38.760 --> 02:08:44.360 Keep the links broken so people can't navigate back to youtube or they can switch to the standard player and lose revenue 02:08:45.080 --> 02:08:48.520 Or they'll have to use another player that likely won't have a youtube link anyway 02:08:49.080 --> 02:08:52.840 And it all just kind of sucks um 02:08:52.840 --> 02:08:58.200 Oh, just tell them no Yeah, forget where we've got enough topics 02:08:59.000 --> 02:09:01.560 Riley forget it put your put your keyboard down go home 02:09:02.040 --> 02:09:07.640 I I haven't listened to the podcast fully yet, but uh Dan on the lab's web team shared it with me 02:09:07.960 --> 02:09:11.000 Um, I don't know. Did we talk about this? Did we talk about this? 02:09:12.040 --> 02:09:19.160 Uh, no, I don't think we did Yeah, they have a podcast on this that talks about like how they make money and how they've made money over the years and like how 02:09:20.040 --> 02:09:25.640 Running a ad funded business on the internet in current year is really hard 02:09:26.040 --> 02:09:33.000 And things are going to subscription models and stuff super interesting I'm like a little bit into the podcast haven't listened to the whole thing. I'm planning to finish it off this weekend 02:09:33.480 --> 02:09:36.600 um, but like yeah, the verge is being 02:09:38.040 --> 02:09:42.280 Public and transparent about things right now, which is very interesting to me very cool 02:09:42.360 --> 02:09:46.360 I don't know how many other people but it's very interesting to me um 02:09:46.360 --> 02:09:49.400 It's cool because like honestly, I look at a lot of these sites 02:09:49.960 --> 02:09:52.840 Including the verge heavily including the verge and I really 02:09:54.280 --> 02:09:56.680 Don't understand how they make the money that they make 02:09:57.400 --> 02:10:03.000 Knowing like how many people they employ and like how much of a showing they've had it like shows like ces and stuff in the past 02:10:03.400 --> 02:10:07.800 Like man, like your stuff is getting this much traffic to pay for all this. That's crazy. Um 02:10:08.840 --> 02:10:13.240 so it's it's Cool having them kind of show behind the veil a little bit 02:10:14.120 --> 02:10:17.000 um, so our our conversation here is like 02:10:18.200 --> 02:10:20.680 What's the deal because I honestly I I kind of 02:10:21.640 --> 02:10:28.200 Agree with youtube that if it's not a like if it's not supposed to be like youtube if it's you know 02:10:28.760 --> 02:10:35.400 Player for publishers, but okay. Yeah, it has youtube on it This seems to me like your own ads on it like they have like a branding issue here 02:10:35.560 --> 02:10:41.240 Because I wouldn't want that to be youtube branded if I was youtube and I have no idea what ads are going to be on it or what 02:10:43.320 --> 02:10:47.000 I get it But on the other hand, I totally see where the verge is coming from where 02:10:47.800 --> 02:10:50.200 In their mind this product has been degraded 02:10:50.920 --> 02:10:55.480 And they were using it and that's just the nature of this everything's a subscription 02:10:55.880 --> 02:11:01.720 Everything is as a service World that we live in where whatever the deal was it can just 02:11:02.440 --> 02:11:07.640 Change unilaterally and it's not up to you like from my point of view I don't even really see the product as degraded if anything 02:11:07.960 --> 02:11:12.520 I would think if I wanted video embeds on my site not having youtube branding all over it would be a plus 02:11:13.560 --> 02:11:17.400 But if people like the youtube interface and that's where they want to watch it and engage with other viewers 02:11:18.040 --> 02:11:23.000 Then yeah, I can see how it could also be a minus. I think this is a I really I really see this one from 02:11:24.040 --> 02:11:31.800 both sides Like I can definitely see why if you're using something you like the way it works 02:11:32.040 --> 02:11:35.960 Like it could be something as simple as like the youtube creator studio mobile app 02:11:36.360 --> 02:11:40.200 Like it used to have a way that um 02:11:40.280 --> 02:11:46.360 From the dashboard here I could just slide in from the side and select which channel analytics I wanted to see now 02:11:46.360 --> 02:11:49.480 I have to click this then click this then click it 02:11:49.880 --> 02:11:53.880 So they just like added extra clicks and I hate that but I'm sure for someone it's like better this way 02:11:53.880 --> 02:11:56.920 Maybe I don't know the mobile app development team no offense, but you guys 02:11:57.240 --> 02:12:00.360 Um, you'd be better off if you just hadn't touched it for the last like five years 02:12:00.920 --> 02:12:05.320 But that's a separate conversation They've fixed some stuff 02:12:05.320 --> 02:12:11.320 But they mostly just like good job have not improved the things that I think are actually important for interacting with your community 02:12:11.320 --> 02:12:15.160 but Last topic 02:12:15.160 --> 02:12:19.160 I would say that I'd be happy to have calls with you guys and you know talk about ways that you could fix it 02:12:19.160 --> 02:12:23.000 But we've done that and you didn't listen to any of it and now it's worse. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry 02:12:24.440 --> 02:12:30.760 Last topic. Um, I don't know. It's kind of boring and video brings back g4slan. So they're promoting probably a GPU. I would assume what? 02:12:32.440 --> 02:12:36.680 Wait, it features a 50 hour gaming marathon. That's a that's a specific number 02:12:37.160 --> 02:12:44.120 And it'll be on an aircraft carrier in its us only Oh, yeah, the last time they did one of these was a long time ago and they did an aircraft carrier land 02:12:44.120 --> 02:12:48.840 So that was cool for the 400 regular gamers who are allowed to go. Yeah 02:12:49.320 --> 02:12:56.920 Or everyday gamers. Sorry. What's the term? Uh, discussion question is epic whale land collab. Yeah. Yeah, they'll bring the ship. We'll bring the whales 02:12:56.920 --> 02:13:04.280 The whales. Yeah All right, what else are we doing today? I think that's it for topics after dark. Are we after dark? 02:13:05.960 --> 02:13:11.160 Yeah, oh, this is hilarious trending on x e-lon musk pushed for open ai profit new emails show 02:13:11.480 --> 02:13:15.400 So you're not mad that they switched it for profit. You're just mad that they didn't do it for you 02:13:15.480 --> 02:13:22.680 Oh, I think he also Did still want it to be open. He just also wanted to make money if I remember correctly. These are new emails 02:13:22.920 --> 02:13:28.600 Yeah, oh, no, maybe it's it's trending right now reinforcing or something. We've known this for a long time 02:13:30.200 --> 02:13:35.000 I think you all didn't want to make big dollars. What are you talking about? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah 02:13:40.200 --> 02:13:44.520 Yeah, let's do it Oh, that was quick 02:13:44.920 --> 02:13:50.440 I was waiting. I was waiting. I wasn't sure if you're gonna branch off into something else. That's fair 02:13:52.280 --> 02:13:56.840 Bye sammy What what is sammy? Why are you still here? There's lots of people still here 02:13:58.920 --> 02:14:02.200 Oh, yeah, we started WAN Show on time. It's only like almost seven 02:14:02.600 --> 02:14:08.840 Which is like pretty late or whatever, but like very early for us. Yeah very early for us to be on after dark. Yeah 02:14:10.520 --> 02:14:18.280 Well, we don't gotta get a look home for eight Oh, wow. Yeah, you're gonna be home before eight today. Yeah, that's good. You're not even gonna need those chocolates 02:14:23.000 --> 02:14:25.080 That wasn't even a joke. I don't even those like 02:14:27.080 --> 02:14:31.880 The younger people you know what those are after eight. Yeah, I don't know. I mean they wouldn't they go to bed 02:14:34.840 --> 02:14:37.960 Oh Oh boy 02:14:37.960 --> 02:14:41.560 No, I don't think we're gonna stream super checks tonight. Luke's all salty because he's bad at it 02:14:41.960 --> 02:14:48.760 No, I'm not salty anymore. Okay. It's it's the it's the smash bows problem. Okay. Yeah, if you smash bows if you 02:14:49.640 --> 02:14:56.760 I did screw that If you own smash bows or or potentially bros and you play it a bunch 02:14:57.480 --> 02:15:01.400 If you say say you you go to the store with your friends and you buy smash bros 02:15:01.560 --> 02:15:04.760 And you go home and you play and it's all fun and then they go home 02:15:06.520 --> 02:15:13.000 And don't play and you grind And then they come back and you all play it's not gonna be fun 02:15:14.200 --> 02:15:17.160 We played super checks and we streamed it one time 02:15:18.520 --> 02:15:21.640 And the one time that we streamed it line is studied the tape 02:15:22.680 --> 02:15:25.080 Like a collegiate athlete or something 02:15:26.200 --> 02:15:31.880 And then like figured out how I play and jumped up in skill level a bunch and then it like wasn't very competitive 02:15:33.640 --> 02:15:38.760 And that's just so lame. So in summary Skill issue it's so lame 02:15:41.560 --> 02:15:43.560 My goodness 02:15:44.840 --> 02:15:50.840 You were already better Barely though. Yeah, and now I'm way better made it competitive and fun 02:15:51.720 --> 02:15:59.320 my goodness I I told you to study the tape too. I told you I told you I was studying the tape 02:16:01.080 --> 02:16:05.240 Ridiculous I told I told the von 02:16:05.960 --> 02:16:07.960 Tried to get him in trouble 02:16:09.400 --> 02:16:12.440 No, I was just cheating by being better than me 02:16:13.400 --> 02:16:17.240 And everything that's not true. No, there's lots of things he's better than me yet 02:16:17.560 --> 02:16:23.800 The usual curve is that if we fire up a new game depends on the topic. I am better than luke 02:16:24.600 --> 02:16:31.000 For like 25 minutes Maybe not maybe less and then he is better than me forever 02:16:31.560 --> 02:16:35.240 After that it depends on the type of game. That's usually how it works though depends on the type of game 02:16:35.240 --> 02:16:38.840 That's usually how it works. There are some I like I don't I think it would take me 02:16:41.000 --> 02:16:46.200 Extreme amounts of time to catch up to you in super commander the supreme commander supreme commander. Yeah, no 02:16:47.640 --> 02:16:51.400 It would take you like tens of hours. Yeah, at least yeah 02:16:53.560 --> 02:17:01.080 But what are you snickering at dad? But that's a game that I have so many more hours in so if we actually look at the curve from the moment of starting to play 02:17:01.160 --> 02:17:07.720 You're probably better than I was at that period Oh, because line has said tens of hours not hundreds of hours. So it was like a slight compliment. I think 02:17:08.280 --> 02:17:13.240 Yeah, well, no, that's what I was that was I was what I have like many many many many many hours in that game 02:17:13.320 --> 02:17:16.760 Like back when it came out and stuff and it's it's the kind of game where like 02:17:17.320 --> 02:17:24.440 There's so many variations in strategy that the only way to be good at it is to have played a ton of matches 02:17:24.600 --> 02:17:28.920 One of the skill ceiling is like infinite. So yeah being good at it in tens of hours is fine 02:17:28.920 --> 02:17:33.720 Yeah, one of the one of the most wild things to me is because we've played like on the internet with internet people before 02:17:34.040 --> 02:17:40.600 One of the things that like hurts my brain is that you're so much beyond like myself and your son who will play you sometimes 02:17:41.400 --> 02:17:46.200 That he seems like a god to me and then we'll play against internet people and he'll get stomped and I'm just like 02:17:46.920 --> 02:17:53.400 Oh, dude, I'm not even good. Like like I was pretty good in like 2007 or whatever, right? 02:17:53.800 --> 02:18:02.840 Then those people some of them still play Yeah, that's how I feel playing factorial. Like I've got nearly a thousand hours and I'm like bad at it 02:18:03.960 --> 02:18:13.080 There's some people who are just bonkers Yeah, the the one that hurt me that way forever was joe and I used to play the crap out of rocket league 02:18:14.120 --> 02:18:18.600 We were very good at rocket league diamond in rocket league 02:18:18.600 --> 02:18:24.680 champion at one point in rocket league But a specific type of rocket. Oh the hockey one. Yeah. Yeah 02:18:25.400 --> 02:18:27.800 We go to try to play with the the soccer ball 02:18:29.080 --> 02:18:31.080 And nobody was happening 02:18:32.600 --> 02:18:36.360 Nothing worked at all. I was so lost. I don't know whatever 02:18:38.920 --> 02:18:45.800 Anyways Okay, well, let's get some merch messages in you guys any memories you care to share about the pc you built 02:18:46.200 --> 02:18:50.680 In the denver micro center. I go there a lot and some people still remember your visit 02:18:51.640 --> 02:18:54.920 Was that the weird like we water cooled it wrong one? 02:18:56.840 --> 02:19:03.720 What I think it was we built like a super weird. I was trying to come up. Oh, hey, I'm reminded of this 02:19:04.120 --> 02:19:11.640 Uh, we sponsored diy perks. Let's go go watch diy perks after this. Nice. Yeah, he did like a weird surround sound laser thing 02:19:11.880 --> 02:19:16.680 I came out today. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but um Uh 02:19:33.720 --> 02:19:37.800 Hell yeah Yeah 02:19:37.880 --> 02:19:39.880 Okay, what was I searching for? 02:19:42.040 --> 02:19:47.320 My first center I don't know here. Let's see if we can let's see if we can find this. So this is this one was fun 02:19:47.320 --> 02:19:50.440 But this one was in California, dude, I could 02:19:51.400 --> 02:20:00.040 If I was a conspiracy theorist I would think this video is staged like how perfectly the whole thing turned out it 100% was not 02:20:00.120 --> 02:20:03.400 She just happened to be the first person who asked us about that pc and bought it for 20 bucks 02:20:04.440 --> 02:20:11.000 Um, I don't think I've seen that video. Oh, yeah, this is the one. Yeah, we just built like the stupidest computer. I forget 02:20:11.960 --> 02:20:16.360 I forget why Oh, yeah, because 02:20:16.360 --> 02:20:20.520 I think it was because it had to be their demo. So I was like, this is hilarious. I should like build it wrong 02:20:22.120 --> 02:20:26.520 So I put like really weird like cooling stuff in it and stuff. That's such a lie 02:20:29.880 --> 02:20:31.880 You have to display this forever 02:20:33.880 --> 02:20:35.880 Well, they dragged me all the way up to Denver 02:20:38.280 --> 02:20:43.080 Look, I made a butt Oh 02:20:47.080 --> 02:20:51.480 Oh my goodness, that's great. Oh man 02:20:53.560 --> 02:21:00.040 Anyway, um, yes, I remember that I remember the team being a lot of fun. I remember them being super cool cool 02:21:01.000 --> 02:21:05.640 No, I'm not talking bad about Denver. I'm just saying it's far away. He doesn't like traveling. Yeah 02:21:06.440 --> 02:21:11.240 Okay, I understood immediately What are Linus's mods on beat saber? 02:21:12.120 --> 02:21:15.160 Oh, uh, just like better song search and like, uh, 02:21:15.960 --> 02:21:23.960 leaderboards and uh Like I don't I don't care about any of the mapping extensions or anything like that. I just I just like to hit nodes. So 02:21:24.920 --> 02:21:29.800 I'm super boring and vanilla when it comes to beat saber modding. It already breaks often enough that I'd 02:21:31.080 --> 02:21:38.280 Keep it minimal Are you able to share how successful your black friday week was for example, how many screwdrivers you sold? 02:21:41.160 --> 02:21:43.160 I don't know sure 02:21:45.240 --> 02:21:48.280 Be careful how you do so. Yeah, it's your decision to do so. Yeah 02:21:48.760 --> 02:21:52.840 Luke should I not curate these types of messages anymore? No, I mean 02:21:53.720 --> 02:21:57.160 his company Is it though? Yes. Yeah 02:21:59.800 --> 02:22:01.800 Shut up, Luke 02:22:03.880 --> 02:22:05.880 Um 02:22:08.760 --> 02:22:15.720 Let's see if I can find the uh Did someone just kill my internet? I just got I just got logged out of my g-suite 02:22:16.840 --> 02:22:22.680 Did something just do that? My hands didn't even move. It wasn't me. It's AJ. AJ see you though 02:22:25.000 --> 02:22:28.600 What what the heck? I'm so sorry shop if I went down 02:22:29.480 --> 02:22:34.200 Oh No, I'm not saying he did do that. I'm just saying he could 02:22:35.400 --> 02:22:40.040 Here we go post event summary That dot doc x. I'm not going don't worry 02:22:40.600 --> 02:22:42.600 Relax 02:22:43.800 --> 02:22:50.840 Relax Uh, okay, so we beat our revenue forecast by 30 percent 02:22:51.320 --> 02:22:57.640 Which is enormous, which is huge um a big part of that was uh down to the 02:22:58.200 --> 02:23:04.040 The deals we were offering the uh hard work that the team did to get uh, hold on 02:23:04.040 --> 02:23:09.160 I'm just going to open this with google docs instead of the preview Um huge shout out to the team. Um 02:23:10.440 --> 02:23:15.720 Man, I It's one of those things. It's a double-edged sword. I want to call out individual contributors 02:23:16.920 --> 02:23:22.360 But I don't want to miss anybody because then if I do then it's like yeah double suck 02:23:22.840 --> 02:23:26.680 That gets really rough to be honest, but I will say that the 02:23:27.720 --> 02:23:35.320 Team at cw. So, uh, Sarah already worked especially hard on like the landing pages and newsletters 02:23:35.880 --> 02:23:40.280 Um already worked really hard with the production team on a couple of shorts 02:23:40.440 --> 02:23:48.360 Also, awesome, like that super long shaft one. Uh, genuinely just performed really well videos. Yep. Yep. Those just good videos 02:23:49.160 --> 02:23:56.600 um Huge shout out to the entire creator warehouse team like obviously the design of the products packaging like everything 02:23:57.080 --> 02:23:59.400 But also like uh nick and dave 02:24:00.200 --> 02:24:05.960 Who worked on a lot of the like nitty gritty of the promotions? Um, but anyway, so yeah, so how'd we do? 02:24:06.600 --> 02:24:13.640 um Yeah, we beat our forecast by 30 percent. We hold on key results. Let me just see if I can find a thing here 02:24:14.360 --> 02:24:20.120 The Floatplane early access um was hugely impactful. We drove almost uh 02:24:20.600 --> 02:24:23.720 1500 new Floatplane members with that that was super cool 02:24:24.680 --> 02:24:26.680 but 02:24:28.200 --> 02:24:34.840 Key uh key offers and performance and from recipients the email uh eblast performed really well 02:24:35.480 --> 02:24:41.480 Uh, we apparently had a 58 percent open rate on our email campaign 02:24:42.120 --> 02:24:45.800 Which is like enormous What? 02:24:45.800 --> 02:24:48.360 I don't even remember the last time I opened a marketing email from anyone 02:24:49.240 --> 02:24:53.320 And an 18 percent click-through rate, which is like if there's any people who 02:24:54.200 --> 02:24:56.200 Who work in that industry? 02:24:58.280 --> 02:25:07.080 Let people know in the chat How mind-blowing those numbers are that's absurd. Um, one of the things that I've pushed really hard about our newsletters 02:25:07.160 --> 02:25:10.680 Is that we don't spam people we like send meaningful 02:25:11.240 --> 02:25:16.680 Newsletters so that they're good. We also saw very very little abandonment. Um, or like uh 02:25:17.160 --> 02:25:19.160 A deregistration from our newsletter so 02:25:20.280 --> 02:25:24.280 Yeah, let's go um 02:25:24.600 --> 02:25:31.560 challenges We oh we had some promotions of our products go live with influencers for stuff that we didn't have in stock 02:25:31.640 --> 02:25:34.440 That was funny. That's in one of our that's one of our challenges 02:25:34.920 --> 02:25:41.000 But that just it was what it was the timing was what it was We wanted to sponsor these creators anyway, so we don't see that as a huge deal even though 02:25:41.080 --> 02:25:49.000 We obviously could have sold a bit more stuff if it was in stock Um, I think we moved through about 02:25:50.200 --> 02:25:57.560 Oh, I don't want to give this to you guys wrong So i'm gonna say I think we moved through about 20 000 screwdrivers 02:25:58.120 --> 02:26:04.440 Kuro satsuna in full-plane chat said normal open rate is about 10 percent and click-through is 1 percent 02:26:05.240 --> 02:26:11.720 Yeah, also bell tricks said 18 percent is met and that's just not actually stupid and what are you doing? Sorry 02:26:12.600 --> 02:26:21.000 Sorry, what's your click and open? Uh, oh for a black friday cyber monday open was 58 and click was 18. Yeah. Yeah, so that's 02:26:21.960 --> 02:26:28.120 Insane more than half of a marketing email sent out was opened. That's nuts to me personally. That's that is completely 02:26:28.840 --> 02:26:32.280 obliterating like industry industry standard numbers 02:26:32.840 --> 02:26:40.440 um Yeah, mystery screwdriver was a huge success. So we moved through um 02:26:41.160 --> 02:26:45.640 Some inventory of screwdriver colorways that were not selling particularly well 02:26:45.960 --> 02:26:50.600 What was really surprising to me about the event was the the aftermath 02:26:51.160 --> 02:26:55.880 I was expecting a huge hangover on LTT Store sales 02:26:56.840 --> 02:27:02.760 Not so much. It didn't know it like just didn't happen. Oh like we as soon as the sale ended 02:27:03.720 --> 02:27:06.840 Sales were as good or better than before the event started 02:27:07.320 --> 02:27:12.440 Which I and then they've been kind of like creeping kind of like up since then it's just I guess like that's wild 02:27:12.680 --> 02:27:19.640 Just people in the shopping mood. I mean one thing that time of year one thing that was funky was that black friday 02:27:20.120 --> 02:27:27.800 was um Really late this year. It was like almost as late as it can be. So I think there's just been a lot of pent up like 02:27:29.240 --> 02:27:33.720 Shopping that people just weren't doing because they were kind of waiting on black friday to to go 02:27:34.360 --> 02:27:41.240 Um, so anyway, there's a little bit of inside baseball you guys Raiden 428 in full-plane jet said 58% is borderline suss congrats 02:27:41.320 --> 02:27:44.280 And honestly, that's where I keep getting stuck onto it 02:27:45.480 --> 02:27:52.200 I don't really Do you opening marketing? Like how did we get over half of people to opening a mark open a marketing email because it's really good 02:27:52.280 --> 02:27:56.520 They're good deals. That's what you want from me. People were buying backpacks that came with a keyboard in it 02:27:56.840 --> 02:28:05.000 That's pretty cool. Like what do you want from me? That's pretty cool Did it come in the back? No. Oh man. No one shipped separately. That would have been such a pain to do 02:28:05.160 --> 02:28:09.160 I have actually I have actually pitched like maybe 02:28:10.040 --> 02:28:15.720 someday If we discontinued the backpack and we only had like a handful left 02:28:16.360 --> 02:28:22.680 Doing like a loot box sale where you buy a backpack in a backpack. No, no you buy a backpack 02:28:23.240 --> 02:28:27.800 and then the the staff at creator warehouse like inventory just like 02:28:28.360 --> 02:28:31.400 Put a bunch of stuff in it as much stuff that fits in it and just ship it 02:28:31.560 --> 02:28:36.840 Wow, and just like you get whatever's in it. I don't know other the logistics of doing something like that are completely stupid 02:28:37.240 --> 02:28:43.560 but um But okay, here's here's pretty funny. Here's an additional part of my argument like I have a feeling a lot of people 02:28:44.600 --> 02:28:51.080 are just like auto filtering Newsletters even like 58 open rate is crazy 02:28:51.320 --> 02:28:54.920 But we specifically drove people to sign up for this communication 02:28:54.920 --> 02:28:59.240 Like that's part of our communication philosophy is that we are not sending people anything they don't want 02:28:59.640 --> 02:29:04.120 So that's why the regular newsletter I've stressed to the team 02:29:04.120 --> 02:29:09.960 That it's supposed to be content and any promotional materials need to live alongside content. It's often only yeah, okay 02:29:10.040 --> 02:29:18.600 And then when it comes to our heavy promo Newsletters we used to have it set up so that you were only signing up for that event in that event only 02:29:18.920 --> 02:29:23.000 We changed our T's and C's so that now it's our like heavy promo newsletter list 02:29:23.240 --> 02:29:28.280 But that newsletter list is is still we still treat it as sacred 02:29:28.760 --> 02:29:33.160 It's a sacred cow. You don't slaughter it because it's tens of thousands of people 02:29:33.640 --> 02:29:37.160 With an open rate like that. It's crazy. Oh, yeah, you don't screw that up 02:29:37.160 --> 02:29:42.920 It's crazy I think the reason why I'm reacting the way that I am is because especially I think more than ever 02:29:43.160 --> 02:29:46.920 This holiday season when I bought Christmas gifts stores just started 02:29:47.480 --> 02:29:52.440 Spamming me like there was one store that the day I bought something I got four to five emails from them 02:29:52.520 --> 02:29:57.800 Yeah, and oh people they violate the crap out of can spam incredibly not okay because like we have 02:29:58.600 --> 02:30:03.720 Supposedly super strong anti spam laws here in Canada, but apparently there's just no enforcement 02:30:03.720 --> 02:30:08.120 Like I was getting text messages emails from companies. I haven't engaged with in ages 02:30:08.440 --> 02:30:14.440 Delta force paintball who I left that one star review for sent me a bunch of stuff. It's like you guys. Yeah 02:30:15.160 --> 02:30:18.360 Um But yeah, no we 02:30:18.360 --> 02:30:24.840 Are not into that And that doesn't mean we'll never do like a card abandonment email here and there or whatever else 02:30:24.920 --> 02:30:30.920 But when it comes to like our promotional newsletters, if you get an email from LTT Store, I want you to be like, oh 02:30:32.520 --> 02:30:38.520 Something good could be in there. Yeah We work hard we work hard for that someone asked this is an interesting question 02:30:38.520 --> 02:30:40.920 I don't know why I haven't dove down this rabbit hole before but 02:30:41.800 --> 02:30:47.320 Rysau said how do you measure that an email was opened? So we're not doing the measuring it would be some type of analytics tool 02:30:47.480 --> 02:30:52.600 I'm assuming that what they're doing is there's like a picture in there and when the picture is served to you 02:30:53.720 --> 02:30:59.320 They they know I don't know but honestly, I don't know. Yeah, it's a whole thing. Yeah, I've never I've never actually 02:30:59.880 --> 02:31:01.880 Correct says though. Yeah, okay. Yeah 02:31:04.840 --> 02:31:08.280 Yeah, okay It's just a pixel not a picture. Okay 02:31:08.520 --> 02:31:11.320 Trackers, let's go. Yeah. All right, Dan 02:31:12.120 --> 02:31:19.880 Makes sense. It's just I never thought about Hi lld I started a new job as tech support manager at a small streaming service 02:31:20.520 --> 02:31:27.240 I just got tasked with also managing inventory shipping and receiving and I'm having trouble finding balance 02:31:27.560 --> 02:31:30.760 Any advice you have two jobs at least two 02:31:31.560 --> 02:31:34.600 um dramatically different ones too. Yeah, I think 02:31:35.560 --> 02:31:43.880 I think there needs to be an honest conversation about Getting you more resources because you can't really find balance when you have two jobs 02:31:43.880 --> 02:31:49.560 I mean based on that. They're a small streaming service. It sounds like they're probably a small company, but um 02:31:50.920 --> 02:31:53.960 Yeah, I think you should basically tell them well. Look, here's the situation 02:31:53.960 --> 02:31:58.360 I have two jobs. Do I have two times the salary and obviously you can't present it in exactly that way? 02:31:58.360 --> 02:32:03.800 But there needs to be sort of a plan. Can we put together a roadmap where either my work 02:32:04.040 --> 02:32:08.600 load stabilizes to something resembling one 02:32:08.600 --> 02:32:14.440 you know role Or is there going to be some kind of compensation adjustment as I 02:32:15.160 --> 02:32:18.920 Do I have any do I have approval to hire resources to help to balance this? 02:32:18.920 --> 02:32:23.240 Like what what is our plan to get things to some semblance of normal? 02:32:23.480 --> 02:32:28.520 Or will I literally be given double the compensation to work twice as many hours because these are these are the only three 02:32:28.600 --> 02:32:35.720 paths that are going to get us to Or the quality of both is just going to suffer and like I think I think mentioning that bit 02:32:36.520 --> 02:32:42.760 Being like basically inevitably this is going to happen. Like I'm doing my best. I'm doing my best. I care about my job 02:32:42.760 --> 02:32:45.480 I'm working hard, but I am 02:32:46.280 --> 02:32:53.320 I am frustrated Yeah, I am frustrated by the fact that I don't have the time to do things to the level of quality that I believe 02:32:53.320 --> 02:32:57.960 Got me this promotion in the first place. Yeah, and and I think that'll be a disappointment to both of us 02:32:57.960 --> 02:33:00.200 You know frame it as a help me help you. Yeah 02:33:01.560 --> 02:33:05.480 Good advice Linus Thanks. Well 02:33:05.480 --> 02:33:11.560 There's a chief done this for a while. Yeah, it's almost like I've had conversations with people who are wearing too many hats recently 02:33:15.560 --> 02:33:18.920 Nick from the lab. Yeah, that's crazy. How many titles do you have loop? 02:33:23.800 --> 02:33:30.440 Hi LTT Do you guys know if the LTT water bottle has any type of synthetic coating or lining on the bottle interior? 02:33:30.680 --> 02:33:34.360 The gloss around the mouth of the bottle seems almost unnatural 02:33:35.320 --> 02:33:37.320 Not that I'm aware of 02:33:38.680 --> 02:33:41.480 Is it just polished? Oh, yeah, that's just polished middle, bro 02:33:42.360 --> 02:33:46.440 Yeah, just looks nice. Yeah. Yeah, all good if it's stamped that might be from the tool 02:33:48.120 --> 02:33:52.440 Oh Like injection molding any uh surface finish 02:33:53.240 --> 02:34:01.160 Uh, next up is for luke I'm a business owner starting a custom software project and hired a full-time recent graduate dev 02:34:01.640 --> 02:34:05.480 How do I ensure he's making progress on the projects and not playing starfield all day? 02:34:07.080 --> 02:34:10.040 Well, if you shouldn't have hired him if you play starfield at all 02:34:14.680 --> 02:34:20.840 Do do check-ins ask to see progress There's a difference between something in prod and something in like a local environment 02:34:20.920 --> 02:34:24.120 Get him to show you what's in his local environment what he's touching at the time 02:34:24.280 --> 02:34:27.640 That doesn't mean it's going to be actually necessarily close to ready again 02:34:27.720 --> 02:34:30.840 I just said there's a difference between what's in the local environment and what's in prod 02:34:31.480 --> 02:34:36.280 Do not go down the route of trying to count lines of code or 02:34:37.160 --> 02:34:41.480 Things like that, but there's also no reason for someone to have no commits in a week 02:34:41.880 --> 02:34:45.160 Um, like there's there's different things that you can kind of look at there are 02:34:45.880 --> 02:34:50.120 You could have a developer on your staff that works in the negatives in regards to lines of code 02:34:50.120 --> 02:34:54.680 Who is potentially your most valuable person? Lines of code is a bad metric 02:34:56.280 --> 02:34:58.440 And you hired a new grad so 02:34:59.400 --> 02:35:07.880 expect them to need learning time Ask them be be communicative about what they're doing and if honestly if what they're doing is learning that might be legit 02:35:08.920 --> 02:35:13.800 But talk to them about what they're learning like engage with them about what they're doing 02:35:15.800 --> 02:35:17.800 Care and pay attention and it should be fine 02:35:22.520 --> 02:35:27.320 If you could develop one LTT version of a core computer component CPU motherboard storage, etc 02:35:27.560 --> 02:35:29.560 What would you pick and why motherboard? 02:35:30.920 --> 02:35:36.840 Yeah, because it's like the most Sort of visible one. It would look cool. I'd make a cool-looking one 02:35:36.920 --> 02:35:41.480 I feel like you could also actually potentially have some impact there that is cool. Yeah, like more pc i slots 02:35:41.640 --> 02:35:44.760 I don't think we're gonna make a better GPU. How about any pc ie slots? 02:35:45.640 --> 02:35:55.000 Oh, please please Hello, Linus. I have been extremely excited about LTT usbc cables 02:35:55.480 --> 02:35:58.840 Can you talk about anything that makes them stand out and what went into their development? 02:35:59.800 --> 02:36:04.680 Man, we sourced cables from so many different manufacturers 02:36:05.400 --> 02:36:11.160 We debated endlessly the validity of our product as uh 02:36:11.880 --> 02:36:17.400 As one that needs to exist. I have pushed extremely hard for the creation of our cables 02:36:17.880 --> 02:36:20.680 They don't make any sense in the like 02:36:21.240 --> 02:36:24.920 current landscape because they're going to be expensive because 02:36:25.560 --> 02:36:34.680 um every Every individual conductor has its own shielding like they're a coaxial style cable rather than a twisted pair style cable 02:36:35.480 --> 02:36:38.600 Which adds bulk which is not desirable 02:36:38.760 --> 02:36:44.920 Yeah, it's gonna be really thick adds weight which is not desirable and it adds stiffness which is not desirable 02:36:44.920 --> 02:36:51.560 However, we're able to counter some of the stiffness by using like that really nice hobbyist grade like silicone 02:36:52.360 --> 02:36:59.320 outer saluting. Yeah And what we get for going with a coaxial style cable is we get 02:36:59.800 --> 02:37:05.240 Really great signal integrity and really great power delivery. It'll still be cheaper than audiophile cables 02:37:05.640 --> 02:37:10.280 And it will still be cheaper than audiophile cables and that's kind of that's kind of our whole thing is like we price things 02:37:10.840 --> 02:37:13.400 at what they cost to buy a premium product 02:37:14.120 --> 02:37:18.520 But not what people obviously are paying for snake oil luxury products 02:37:18.600 --> 02:37:24.840 But yeah, it costs more than some like and you might not want that and that's cheap cheap jf g k x y 02:37:25.240 --> 02:37:29.880 tech cable on amazon, right? So that's That's what we're making. We are making 02:37:30.520 --> 02:37:38.280 really nice Inspec cables with good signal integrity and good power ratings. Um, and that's that's it 02:37:39.080 --> 02:37:43.240 That's all there is to it. We're not going to make any kind of claims that aren't true about them 02:37:43.480 --> 02:37:48.200 We're just going to tell you exactly what speed and what wattage they run at right on the connector 02:37:48.920 --> 02:37:51.720 And that's it. I'm very excited 02:37:53.000 --> 02:37:59.720 Hi, wan.dll. Are there any technologies that you thought would fail but were actually successful? Here's mine 02:37:59.960 --> 02:38:05.960 I thought dual slot gpus were janky and would be rejected by the market. But boy was I wrong 02:38:08.200 --> 02:38:13.000 Um I thought that aio coolers were kind of a gimmick 02:38:14.120 --> 02:38:20.200 But the thing that I underestimated was the aesthetic component of people posting showcase builds 02:38:20.760 --> 02:38:25.480 And especially I underestimated the importance of them in shipping systems 02:38:25.800 --> 02:38:31.400 Yeah shipping and octa n hd 15 in a completely built system is not a good idea. Yeah period 02:38:31.960 --> 02:38:35.320 um, and so you have to go all the way back to um 02:38:35.400 --> 02:38:45.960 The Asatec lclc the low-cost liquid cooling like it was originally developed as just like a cheapo like 02:38:47.560 --> 02:38:51.560 Solution to to get something cooled um 02:38:51.560 --> 02:38:58.040 Cheaply with water like it was not a premium product at all. So this is the original oem 02:38:58.920 --> 02:39:02.040 Asatec version that pretty much everyone in their dog 02:39:02.520 --> 02:39:07.560 Licenses because it's patented. I think asatec and then cool it owned patents on it or something like that 02:39:07.880 --> 02:39:12.440 So unless you unless you license from one of them or you found a work around that's pretty much what you're stuck with 02:39:12.760 --> 02:39:17.400 And what's funny about it to me is that when the asatec lclc look at this 02:39:19.160 --> 02:39:27.000 When the lclc launched um, it was not particularly well received because it really like didn't perform that good 02:39:27.480 --> 02:39:30.120 So here's the lclc compared to just like a 02:39:30.680 --> 02:39:36.840 Basic like cooler. Um, like what's a silverstone nto6? It's not silverstone. It's not even like 02:39:37.960 --> 02:39:42.840 Uh, this is not a particularly well regarded cooler from a not particularly well regarded cooler brand 02:39:43.480 --> 02:39:49.320 Okay, this is the pro But whatever it's just like a basic not even tower cool like downdraft style cooler 02:39:49.880 --> 02:39:52.520 Uh, so the lclc is nothing 02:39:53.240 --> 02:39:57.960 special um Like really at all 02:39:58.040 --> 02:40:02.440 And then it wasn't until Corsair. Well, are they cooling a GPU? 02:40:03.240 --> 02:40:07.400 Uh, I don't know. I think they're cooling a GPU. So it doesn't matter that that particular review 02:40:07.400 --> 02:40:10.360 They might have been but the point is that it didn't perform particularly well 02:40:10.760 --> 02:40:15.720 And it wasn't until the Corsair h50 came out that all of a sudden people got enthusiastic about it 02:40:15.720 --> 02:40:23.320 And I couldn't I still to this day Have not really been able to figure out why people went from being so 02:40:24.120 --> 02:40:29.160 tepid about it To being impressed by it when all that was changed 02:40:29.800 --> 02:40:35.960 was that One of them was branded asatec lclc and one of them was branded Corsair and you can actually see 02:40:36.440 --> 02:40:39.160 Like the comparison is only against the stock cooler and even then 02:40:40.120 --> 02:40:45.800 Um, like it's obvious that if you just had like a decent cooler in here. This would not look very impressive 02:40:46.760 --> 02:40:52.760 um, I really think it was just Nobody heard about it until it was Corsair branded 02:40:53.320 --> 02:40:58.440 And then when it was Corsair branded, they're like, I can have water cooling and they didn't look at the graphs and they just bought it 02:40:59.080 --> 02:41:09.000 Yeah, I I mean, I guess But that that was basically how aio coolers started was as a complete nothing burger that no one kind of cared about 02:41:09.000 --> 02:41:13.880 Other than that you could get your GPU temps down just kind of nice and then it turned into 02:41:14.920 --> 02:41:20.280 Their high performance coolers and they have never at any point really outperformed 02:41:21.000 --> 02:41:28.680 High-end air coolers Meaningfully for most people there there are cases where like a triple aio is going to outperform 02:41:29.240 --> 02:41:34.840 All but the giganticest bulkiest of of air coolers, but uh, not much 02:41:35.640 --> 02:41:40.680 For me it was this isn't really It is a technology, but it's in a specific use case. I guess 02:41:41.480 --> 02:41:45.560 The massive price jump that came with like addressable RGB fans 02:41:46.360 --> 02:41:49.880 I thought the community was going to be like I don't care Oh 02:41:49.880 --> 02:41:55.160 But they're Because of the price I guess is they cared they really did they cared hard 02:41:55.400 --> 02:41:58.120 120 bucks for three fans like when I saw that I was like 02:41:59.000 --> 02:42:03.480 And then everybody bought it Okay 02:42:04.200 --> 02:42:08.200 Guess I am wrong Sounds good 02:42:08.200 --> 02:42:14.120 Linus, how do you manage your kids game time at home? I find that the 30 minute rule doesn't work, but I still want them to have fun 02:42:14.680 --> 02:42:18.440 Um, they earn game time for extracurricular activities 02:42:18.520 --> 02:42:23.640 So if they do I think it's an hour of extracurriculars they get 45 minutes of game time or something like that 02:42:24.360 --> 02:42:30.520 And then if they are buttheads or whatever then they lose game time. They're like grounded from from game time 02:42:31.320 --> 02:42:36.600 So pretty much like that Dear Linus Dan and miss your oh, yeah, go for it. Do you know if you 02:42:37.160 --> 02:42:42.600 Blanket ground them from game time for a certain period of time. Do you notice a reduction in the activities that earn them game time? 02:42:43.240 --> 02:42:49.560 Um, no, not really. That's cool. Yeah, they're they're pretty good kids. Actually my kids are mostly not buttheads 02:42:49.880 --> 02:42:54.120 Cool Sorry, keep going. No, uh, dear Linus Dan and miss you. If you're near 02:42:54.680 --> 02:42:58.040 External drives will list a usb speed and a drive speed 02:42:58.200 --> 02:43:02.200 For example, we could have 10 gigabits per second and 3500 megabytes per second 02:43:02.520 --> 02:43:04.600 How do we know which one is actually the drive speed? 02:43:07.080 --> 02:43:15.240 Uh The one that is 5 gigabit per second or 10 gigabit per second is the usb speed and the other one is the drive speed 02:43:16.600 --> 02:43:21.160 That's a really good question never even like occurred to me that if you have no context for these numbers 02:43:21.160 --> 02:43:24.920 You'd have no way of knowing which is which um 02:43:24.920 --> 02:43:28.440 I never really thought about it before but yeah, it's also I can see how 02:43:29.000 --> 02:43:32.040 Okay, those particular numbers are obviously conflicting because 02:43:32.520 --> 02:43:36.280 3500 megabytes a second would be like three and a half 02:43:36.760 --> 02:43:43.000 Of like four gigabit or 40 gigabit or something like that Like it's not like those numbers are not would not be on the same package 02:43:43.080 --> 02:43:47.720 But that's a pc i gen 4 NVMe drive right something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah 02:43:49.320 --> 02:43:55.240 Um, what can a newbie data engineer do to better help the team this past year? 02:43:55.320 --> 02:44:01.560 My name has been sent to different teams on the project to be of help only to be ignored or rejected for inexperience 02:44:02.200 --> 02:44:06.520 um Jump in 02:44:07.320 --> 02:44:12.040 Look through the codebase try to see if there's things you can help with attend the meetings 02:44:12.440 --> 02:44:18.440 um Be ready to accept that if you like kind of suck and aren't ready to contribute that you need to find more experience 02:44:18.680 --> 02:44:25.160 Ask people what you should do to pursue that experience If they're not giving you things listen in the meetings to the things that people don't want to do 02:44:25.800 --> 02:44:29.640 And then try to grab those That's such key career advice 02:44:30.600 --> 02:44:36.200 Like be the indispensable person who does the stuff that no one else wants to do and but but don't be stuck there forever 02:44:36.600 --> 02:44:40.680 Yeah, it's just uh, you you're you're working on becoming liked on a team 02:44:40.760 --> 02:44:45.960 Like people want you to be on the team and then you know, you can try to ditch the the garbage jobs eventually 02:44:46.440 --> 02:44:51.000 um a common one is If you have if your team has some amount of code coverage 02:44:51.800 --> 02:44:58.120 Basically, no one likes doing code coverage. So if you volunteer to do some of the code coverage and then you don't do a horrible job of it 02:44:59.080 --> 02:45:03.240 Most people in my experience would like that if if they do have a requirement of doing code coverage 02:45:03.640 --> 02:45:06.280 Not everyone does for for for tests to be clear 02:45:09.000 --> 02:45:13.480 More Yeah, the first comment I see in response that is code coverage sucks 02:45:14.200 --> 02:45:17.800 Exactly. So Volunteer to do that do their documentation 02:45:18.760 --> 02:45:24.760 Yeah, like this is yeah, if you make one of their lives like way better due to you being on the team 02:45:24.840 --> 02:45:29.080 They're probably gonna want you there more And then you know, eventually 02:45:29.320 --> 02:45:34.520 You work up to being a peer instead of just doing their dirty work. It's also a cheat code to understand what they're doing 02:45:35.320 --> 02:45:41.400 Yeah, yeah Hello, hello DLL from scotland making a tricky question to answer 02:45:41.480 --> 02:45:48.040 But when doing collaboration videos like the one with electro boom, how do you typically split the video revenue? 02:45:48.200 --> 02:45:50.200 Love the show. Oh, that's a good question. Um 02:45:51.320 --> 02:45:57.800 So I read this in advance. So I already have this ready There we've done a few collabs with electro boom. Mehdi is amazing 02:45:57.880 --> 02:46:02.680 The first one we did was can static kill your pc and in this case 02:46:03.240 --> 02:46:08.840 We uploaded our video, which was edited by our editors and shot by our camera operators 02:46:09.320 --> 02:46:14.440 and scripted by our writers and uh, we kept 100 of the revenue from that 02:46:15.000 --> 02:46:20.920 And Mehdi normal uploaded this video, which was his separate video kind of featuring 02:46:21.160 --> 02:46:24.520 Um me as a as a talent in the video as well 02:46:24.600 --> 02:46:28.680 But with his own writing his own editing and he kept 100 of the revenue from that 02:46:29.240 --> 02:46:35.480 So it is a tricky thing because it's kind of unspoken like nobody really wants to be the one that's like, hey 02:46:36.360 --> 02:46:43.000 Who gets the money when you work together on a collab? I think by and large the youtube creator community is make it beneficial for both 02:46:43.160 --> 02:46:47.960 Is pretty Is pretty uh 02:46:48.680 --> 02:46:52.680 Common Common good 02:46:52.680 --> 02:46:57.800 Minded, you know pretty magnanimous about the way that they approach collabing. Collabbing is an inherently 02:46:58.440 --> 02:47:01.480 win-win thing or at least it's supposed to be there 02:47:02.360 --> 02:47:07.720 Been cases that have not been yeah, I'm sure yeah, I'm what I was gonna say was I'm sure there's exceptions to the rule 02:47:07.800 --> 02:47:13.640 But honestly in all the experience I've had seeing this both externally and internally 02:47:14.440 --> 02:47:21.880 Yeah, no, I don't think anyone's even asked ever But I mean one of the things that I go out of my way to ask is like, hey, uh, you know, what do you need out of this? 02:47:22.040 --> 02:47:27.480 Um, yeah, yeah, absolutely Do you need me to be available to help you with a video like Ludwig for example? 02:47:27.880 --> 02:47:32.280 He just like came up here. He wanted absolutely nothing in return. I'm like, okay, and you know 02:47:32.280 --> 02:47:36.760 But but but when he called me up for to do bro versus bro. I'm like, yeah, bro. I'm there 02:47:37.640 --> 02:47:42.680 You know, so no to one. So yeah, so so there's kind of this there's kind of an unspoken 02:47:43.560 --> 02:47:48.360 Hey Did this transaction make sense for everybody? Okay. It's tight and neat little bow 02:47:48.840 --> 02:47:54.760 Nobody really owes anybody else a solid But there's also an unspoken. Hey, that really benefited one of us more than the other 02:47:54.920 --> 02:47:59.640 Does it does either of us kind of owe the other a solid? um 02:47:59.640 --> 02:48:02.680 So the the wireless e sd straps 02:48:02.840 --> 02:48:07.960 Many just was like thrilled with the first club and loved it and he was like, yeah, I want to come do another one 02:48:08.840 --> 02:48:13.080 And so I kind of owed him a solid so when we were trying to do an upgrade for somebody 02:48:13.160 --> 02:48:16.760 And we were thinking of a creator that we'd love to do an upgrade for 10 months ago 02:48:17.160 --> 02:48:21.080 We were like, oh, why don't we do a tech makeover for meddy pretty local too, which helps 02:48:21.160 --> 02:48:24.680 Yeah, so that was the way those ones worked. We kept 100 of the money from these 02:48:24.680 --> 02:48:30.360 But meddy got a sick tech upgrade and very helpfully came and uh, and some speed holes in his walls 02:48:30.440 --> 02:48:36.920 Some of his fun gadgets for us to play with Um, and that's I think that's all the videos that we've collabed on 02:48:37.960 --> 02:48:43.640 Yeah, so meddy's super cool. Yeah, and is I think a perfect example of how without 02:48:44.120 --> 02:48:48.200 Asking for anything he gives freely of his time and expertise and 02:48:48.920 --> 02:48:53.320 I would like to think we try to take a similar approach and everyone 02:48:54.520 --> 02:49:00.920 Was happy as far as I know. I mean we're still on speaking terms. So yeah met him and his family down at open sauce. Super cool 02:49:01.000 --> 02:49:04.040 Yeah So so cool awesome people. Yeah. Yeah 02:49:04.520 --> 02:49:08.200 Just like actual good people that you should feel good about supporting. Yep 02:49:09.720 --> 02:49:16.520 Hey Linus, I like that you have a CPU tower in one room and runs of cable to three other rooms 02:49:16.840 --> 02:49:23.240 What is the current best cabling to run for this purpose? Previously if run HDMI and usb 2.0 or 3.0 for this 02:49:24.680 --> 02:49:29.400 um I've been okay happy with my DisplayPort 02:49:29.400 --> 02:49:35.400 But I sometimes wish that I had run HDMI just because I find it can be a little less flaky about 02:49:35.640 --> 02:49:38.760 Picking up a signal when the system's already running HDMI. That is 02:49:39.400 --> 02:49:42.280 Other than that man usb is tough 02:49:42.920 --> 02:49:46.440 As long as you only need to usb 2 over Ethernet is fine 02:49:46.440 --> 02:49:51.640 But if you want to go really long distances over optical you have to use these like expensive 02:49:52.360 --> 02:49:58.120 Media conversion kits and stuff and it gets kind of it gets it gets kind of tricky 02:49:58.840 --> 02:50:03.400 um How long did they say they were going again 02:50:04.200 --> 02:50:07.720 To three other rooms. No, that's what you do to three other rooms 02:50:08.600 --> 02:50:11.400 Previously everyone HDMI. So what are your your run lengths? 02:50:12.200 --> 02:50:18.120 Uh minor in the neighborhood of around 50 to 60 feet. I think oh, no, I'm sorry. I misinterpreted this. I 02:50:18.920 --> 02:50:26.040 Like you Have my CPU tower in one room and runs of cable to three other rooms. Got it. All right. Yeah, best cabling is 02:50:26.280 --> 02:50:28.520 Ah man, see the cost is tough for usb 02:50:29.640 --> 02:50:35.640 Because you either have to do individual fiber. I would say I would say I mean infinite cables has a lot of really good products for this 02:50:35.720 --> 02:50:42.280 Um, I would I would definitely endorse their products in general and then I would probably go fiber optic usb to a dock 02:50:42.840 --> 02:50:46.920 Um, and then I would probably go I probably go HDMI right now 02:50:46.920 --> 02:50:52.920 But we're on the verge of gpus that support newer DisplayPort standards like the new u hbr standards 02:50:53.320 --> 02:50:57.880 I don't know how many u hbr cables exist yet though. So that's something you'd probably have to look into for yourself 02:50:57.880 --> 02:51:00.120 But I've been very happy with uh infinite cables 02:51:01.800 --> 02:51:06.520 Jake would Jake would be proud. I promoted infinite cables Shout out infinite cable. Yeah 02:51:06.920 --> 02:51:12.520 Do you think anyone will create SSD technology that will be as good as 3d x point? No 02:51:14.360 --> 02:51:18.920 I mean someday maybe but it looks like we're on man flash for the time being 02:51:19.640 --> 02:51:24.440 I miss optane. Actually, I don't miss optane. I have optane in my uh in my machine at home 02:51:24.760 --> 02:51:27.720 I treated myself to an optane. I was like, I'm gonna have an optane 02:51:28.280 --> 02:51:30.280 And now I do 02:51:32.680 --> 02:51:37.000 I don't even have a current gen uh of like 40 series GPU. I went AMD 02:51:37.800 --> 02:51:42.600 Because you know that was out of spite. I had to go AMD. Yeah, it was you didn't go optane out of spite. No, I didn't 02:51:42.600 --> 02:51:50.200 I love optane They're so expensive. They're a lot cheaper now 02:51:55.160 --> 02:52:02.440 Oh man, hey DLL what are your opinions on all the different types of screen protectors plastic glass and liquid 02:52:03.320 --> 02:52:07.000 My family keeps asking me about liquid screen protectors, and I don't know what to tell them 02:52:07.240 --> 02:52:10.280 Well, tell them glass. Hold on. We we did a thing 02:52:10.920 --> 02:52:13.240 It actually worked surprisingly well. It did 02:52:14.040 --> 02:52:20.280 But still I have no idea if this brand or product even like exists anymore. Probably not. Um, here it is 02:52:21.000 --> 02:52:24.120 12 years ago. Let's go. What a thumbnail. I know right 02:52:25.400 --> 02:52:28.120 Real-world test dragging phones behind my motorbike 02:52:29.800 --> 02:52:32.760 Linus tech tips in the title. I know right 02:52:33.720 --> 02:52:35.720 It's freaking wild 02:52:37.400 --> 02:52:44.840 So here you go liquid armor invisible, whatever. Here's some dummy phones and uh, this is me filming. Yep 02:52:45.160 --> 02:52:49.960 Notice how I don't zoom. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He just walks. Look at him walk. That's a luke foot 02:52:50.680 --> 02:52:55.240 Put that on your weird foot fetish website. Yeah, I had those stupid white shoes for so long 02:52:55.320 --> 02:52:59.240 And then he had to run because I was like, you know on a motor vehicle 02:53:00.440 --> 02:53:04.520 um Yeah, and then we inspected them and we found that they were like 02:53:07.960 --> 02:53:11.480 They were just dummy phones. Oh, okay, that makes sense. Yeah, I just 02:53:12.520 --> 02:53:16.600 The key is filming quality. Is this the best it can do? Oh, no, here we go 02:53:17.800 --> 02:53:22.120 Okay Look at those shoes. Oh, there's a motorcycle boots. What do you want from me? 02:53:22.920 --> 02:53:28.360 But yeah, we found that like you could actually the the film was still on there focus on the ground luke. Yeah 02:53:28.360 --> 02:53:35.000 The liquid was still on there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Luke doesn't that that's a that's a I don't think I ever touched the focus. No, it just was what it was 02:53:35.000 --> 02:53:39.400 Yeah, it was what it was. It was raw. It's raw. This is a different time. Okay. It was a different time 02:53:43.960 --> 02:53:47.960 The camera that I learned on Uh 02:53:47.960 --> 02:53:56.120 Was it that you couldn't change the zoom? No, you couldn't change the focus, right? Yeah Yeah, I don't think it had manual focus. Yeah. Yeah, it was and there's a scratch on the lens anyway incredible 02:53:56.840 --> 02:54:01.800 You've come so far. No No, I mean the company is 02:54:02.680 --> 02:54:05.080 I never got better at filming you work in itina 02:54:06.520 --> 02:54:11.000 This is what we were using at that point. Yeah stereo microphone. Let's go 02:54:12.280 --> 02:54:17.560 Yeah, I think ours was white or something though, wasn't it? Nope. Oh, not even a little.

I would say software is related to tech 02:56:15.480 --> 02:56:20.120 Hmm Luke really likes the new lid for our water bottles 02:56:22.200 --> 02:56:24.200 Mm-hmm.

You'll never 02:56:54.680 --> 02:56:56.680 Christmas bird 02:56:58.040 --> 02:57:02.760 I don't think there's any particular piece of tech that had like an outstanding impact on my life this year 02:57:03.560 --> 02:57:06.680 To be honest. All right, then the laptop I have for work is super normal 02:57:07.480 --> 02:57:09.480 Nothing else really changed 02:57:12.360 --> 02:57:16.600 My computer got a lot cooler.

Yep. That makes sense. I mean, we did sticker bomb your fans 02:57:50.200 --> 02:57:53.480 So yeah, I'm probably gonna have to do that again this weekend because it is ticking again 02:57:53.800 --> 02:57:58.120 And it's doing the type of ticking that I know it's not actually bad. It's just a sticker in the fan 02:57:58.680 --> 02:58:02.120 So I just got to go in there and sweep and then it's fine. How about the nine pro? 02:58:02.680 --> 02:58:05.000 Uh, don't I have an eight pro? 02:58:05.720 --> 02:58:12.360 That shows you how much uh, he thinks about it and I how life changing it was don't like it that much.

Maybe I mentioned it on twitter or something. I don't remember 03:03:44.840 --> 03:03:48.840 But yeah, no, it started out very cordial now. It's devolved into what it is now. So um 03:03:49.240 --> 03:03:56.360 So them sending you phones with skins on them to do like reviews on is is been there from the entire start. Yeah 03:03:57.240 --> 03:04:05.240 Yeah, since 2014 And they've been really good at like their um at like their product imagery and stuff like even way back then 03:04:05.800 --> 03:04:08.520 There's an xperia z2 with you know, they're cool 03:04:08.920 --> 03:04:13.720 Kind of leather-looking one and they used to have like a brushed metal one because that was cool back then but it didn't now 03:04:14.520 --> 03:04:19.560 All right, what else we got a few more here. Hey dlo long-time listener first time live 03:04:19.800 --> 03:04:24.520 What is your favorite or most interesting computer build that you've done or been involved with? 03:04:24.600 --> 03:04:27.000 Including any you've had to disassemble to put back together 03:04:29.160 --> 03:04:33.240 Man, I don't know we kind of did a video talking about a lot of these recently. Yeah, maybe check that out 03:04:33.240 --> 03:04:37.720 Yeah, I think that's probably the best way to answer this question is to just link you to a video. Yeah 03:04:39.400 --> 03:04:41.400 Our best builds or something 03:04:43.160 --> 03:04:49.800 Yeah, I think I can find it Reacting to our best pc builds ever this one right here. Yeah, it's good to do 03:04:51.880 --> 03:04:54.200 The first line is hair it's a good time 03:04:55.640 --> 03:05:02.440 I lld Trying to get a deal on an rtx 4090 and try to ebay 03:05:02.840 --> 03:05:08.200 There's many new cards for under 800 dollars from china. I know it's likely to be a scam 03:05:08.600 --> 03:05:16.040 But how would the scam work since ebay has buyer protection? That's a really good question and one I've actually been trying to figure out for a long time because I've run into the same thing 03:05:16.120 --> 03:05:20.680 With like entry-level cards as well. We've covered those scam GPU's a number of times 03:05:20.680 --> 03:05:25.000 And I get it when you're buying from somewhere that doesn't have buyer protection 03:05:25.480 --> 03:05:29.880 Um, and the way that those like cheap scam cards work is they are functional GPU's 03:05:29.960 --> 03:05:33.000 They're just like that's what I was gonna say do are they just hoping that you don't know? 03:05:33.320 --> 03:05:41.400 um But with something like an rtx 4090 because so the idea is that those those scam ones they like work well enough to work for a bit 03:05:41.880 --> 03:05:46.360 and then You know give them time to get your money and like run away and disappear 03:05:46.680 --> 03:05:49.640 Whereas with something like uh like an rtx 4090 03:05:50.280 --> 03:05:53.240 I don't really yeah, I don't really understand 03:05:53.640 --> 03:05:57.560 um How that would work. Yeah, see here's one 03:05:58.520 --> 03:06:01.720 Here So parent a supposedly new 03:06:02.440 --> 03:06:07.880 4090 I don't know. Maybe I should just maybe I should buy one. Why don't we find out how the scam works? 03:06:08.440 --> 03:06:16.440 There's a video. Yeah All right, sure. I'll buy this scam 4090 right now. I'm gonna send this to procurement and uh, 03:06:16.840 --> 03:06:20.040 Do you want my credit card? Which we're not mean so that means he'll buy it on monday 03:06:20.920 --> 03:06:25.800 Please buy this Okay, and then yeah, let's let's see what happens 03:06:27.960 --> 03:06:34.520 All right People are saying no core no vram, but like buyer protection. So like should I get 03:06:35.720 --> 03:06:40.600 Should should I get my money? I probably right? Oh, hey, uh pia vpn 03:06:41.640 --> 03:06:47.720 It was down there.

Yeah 03:07:57.800 --> 03:08:03.720 Evening gents ordered the precision screwdriver and the ai told me that the bits from my LTT screwdriver would work 03:08:04.120 --> 03:08:07.640 Not the case. Can you guys fix that because I trusted that lol 03:08:08.760 --> 03:08:12.600 Oh, you trusted what the ai apparently our ai on the store 03:08:13.320 --> 03:08:17.240 What or email must be email because we have email ai responses 03:08:17.880 --> 03:08:21.720 Uh, yeah, they are a different shank size. Um, sorry about that 03:08:23.480 --> 03:08:26.360 Hey, I'm I'm assuming that we'll take care of that 03:08:27.240 --> 03:08:31.880 Uh, yeah contact support. Yeah, tell them you want a human that is an option in the emails. Yeah 03:08:35.000 --> 03:08:42.360 Hey LTT random business question I recently took a position supervising 17 people and it's tough to do efficiently 03:08:42.840 --> 03:08:45.880 How many direct reports are you generally comfortable with managers having? 03:08:47.880 --> 03:08:51.720 6 to 8 luke 03:08:52.600 --> 03:08:54.600 Yeah, is that per company or 03:08:55.800 --> 03:09:03.080 Hey, uh Yeah, in that regard i'm doing okay. Yeah, but you have sub managers. So technically you only have like one or two. No 03:09:03.880 --> 03:09:07.560 No, that's not correct at some company. Let's just carry on 03:09:09.240 --> 03:09:13.880 That's not even true in one department. He does well. I still think you should write a book on management 03:09:14.360 --> 03:09:20.520 Uh, my best friend owns a recycling company and has offered me free parts to make my hex os server 03:09:21.000 --> 03:09:26.120 What do I even want to consider when I get servers at cost per pound? I would say energy efficiency 03:09:27.080 --> 03:09:30.680 So rather than nexus because obviously this is older stuff, right? 03:09:30.760 --> 03:09:34.280 So you're not going to be looking at like a, you know, 12 core processor or whatever 03:09:34.280 --> 03:09:38.760 So if you're if you're gonna have something that's basically just going to be a storage server 03:09:38.760 --> 03:09:42.120 Then I would say get something with fewer cores that uses less energy 03:09:42.680 --> 03:09:52.600 Um, get the newest thing you can Um, I would look for something with PCIe slots so that you can put hb as in so you can add more drives in the future 03:09:53.240 --> 03:09:57.560 Um, what else would you consider? I mean if reliability is is really important to you 03:09:57.640 --> 03:10:02.120 Maybe find an actual server that has a redundant power supply just could be loud 03:10:02.760 --> 03:10:06.280 In fact, jay, can I film the video this week? Oh, man, we built the coolest server 03:10:06.840 --> 03:10:11.400 We took one of our old 45 drive storeinators and we converted the front to NVMe 03:10:12.360 --> 03:10:14.600 Left 30 hard drives in the back 03:10:15.400 --> 03:10:22.360 And then upgraded the back so that we could fill it with uh, like PCIe to the front bay things and then hbas 03:10:22.440 --> 03:10:30.680 And then we put a GPU above it just for compute That you can't even like access the rear i o of and like sure we put knocked with fans in and we put a custom front panel 03:10:30.680 --> 03:10:33.720 Oh, dude, it's so cool. Anyway, the point is uh, what was I talking about? 03:10:34.120 --> 03:10:40.120 Recycle computer stuff power efficiency. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. One of the things that we did was I don't have a redundant power supply anymore 03:10:40.840 --> 03:10:45.800 We just put in a high quality single power supply because the redundant power supply was so flipping loud 03:10:45.880 --> 03:10:50.360 That's probably okay. I would I would stress test the things that you're getting out of the recycling area 03:10:51.240 --> 03:10:55.080 Smart smart Burn in yeah 03:10:55.960 --> 03:10:58.680 Couple more. Oh, oh, oh, but hold on uh 03:10:59.720 --> 03:11:03.800 A robot from dbrand. I'm gonna say I feel like this from oh, no watching the show 03:11:04.520 --> 03:11:09.400 Uh, can be infinitely removed and reused for what it's worth. This statement genuinely did apply 03:11:09.880 --> 03:11:15.160 Specifically to the xperia z2 due to the glass back surface 03:11:15.480 --> 03:11:22.360 Of course low surface energy bond between the adhesive and the non-porous glass surface. Okay. Thank you very much for the clarification 03:11:22.840 --> 03:11:24.840 didn't care 03:11:27.080 --> 03:11:31.400 You keep doing stickers you absolute mad robots proud of what they do, you know 03:11:35.080 --> 03:11:38.360 Too long didn't read I'm sorry to hear that or good for you 03:11:39.000 --> 03:11:41.000 whatever 03:11:42.520 --> 03:11:47.720 My god. Hey Dillon any more tall versions of the apparel coming soon for luke Dan and I 03:11:48.440 --> 03:11:52.520 Sorry, what are there more tall versions of the apparel 03:11:53.080 --> 03:11:58.920 I in the last much meeting I advocated for something that's upcoming that is not getting a tall version 03:11:58.920 --> 03:12:05.640 But I tried look it sure sure you did but the minimum order quantities are hard and it's they have to grade an entire 03:12:05.800 --> 03:12:13.000 Another set of sizes. How many of the how much total sales went through the tall blanks? I don't know no 03:12:13.720 --> 03:12:15.720 Okay 03:12:16.760 --> 03:12:21.400 We we got our foot in the door Dan we got our foot in the door. Yep the new blanks I heard 03:12:21.880 --> 03:12:25.240 Not immediately maybe but eventually maybe all those are coming 03:12:25.240 --> 03:12:29.320 They're gonna be talls which might mean that we might have more colors than just the black t-shirt 03:12:29.640 --> 03:12:35.880 Yeah, my understanding was that if the talls baby steps, okay, then they would explore more. We're gonna get baby steps 03:12:35.880 --> 03:12:41.320 It's okay. I saw someone ask about the the like wanshed her sweater in tall size and I was like no 03:12:42.120 --> 03:12:47.240 Oh, that's actually the one. Yeah, that's the one I was talking about. They said no, I just not that would be brutal 03:12:47.240 --> 03:12:49.640 That's a pretty complicated garland, isn't it rough? Yeah 03:12:50.280 --> 03:12:55.640 Like I appreciate that that we're we're getting there and we're actually taking the baby steps now 03:12:55.880 --> 03:13:00.520 I understand it's weird. I understand it's a little bit niche. It's nice to have some stuff that does actually like fit me though 03:13:01.080 --> 03:13:04.280 I know we're working on so it is it is cool. I do appreciate it 03:13:04.680 --> 03:13:07.400 I there's also the the cargo pants. We're getting 03:13:08.360 --> 03:13:12.120 In 32 length if I remember correctly. Yeah, that's exciting to you. What's the waist? 03:13:13.080 --> 03:13:19.480 A little different waist. Yeah. Oh, okay. So we're doing a whole nother sizing grade of the cargo pants. Okay, which by the way 03:13:25.080 --> 03:13:29.640 Oh Cool. I don't know what you're talking about. That actually looks really sharp 03:13:30.120 --> 03:13:34.280 I don't know what you're talking about. Wow. I I really like that color. I don't know what you're talking about 03:13:35.240 --> 03:13:43.080 Wow That looks genuinely very good. It's like a purpley blue. This is a very early sample and no no promises 03:13:43.160 --> 03:13:48.120 It looks great though. I get all kinds of stuff that just like never sees the light of day. So like, um, yeah 03:13:48.600 --> 03:13:53.720 I watched uh, the the flow plane exclusive with tachyanna talking about like the socks and stuff 03:13:58.440 --> 03:14:04.200 She was going over How you could send her different pictures and stuff. I was like, yeah, this all this all just sounds like 03:14:05.880 --> 03:14:08.200 This is all completely believable 03:14:09.400 --> 03:14:14.440 I've sent her some horrible pictures. Oh, she yeah, she she said as much. Did she okay? I didn't watch it 03:14:14.520 --> 03:14:19.960 It was it was honestly a really good video. Yeah, I have sent her some awful awful pictures that nobody should ever have to see 03:14:20.760 --> 03:14:25.960 Look, I I was like, I'm all about consent. Yo, so like I was like, hey 03:14:26.440 --> 03:14:29.400 I did not send you pictures of what this did to my feet 03:14:29.960 --> 03:14:35.160 Um, because nobody needs to see that and she's like, yo, I for product development purposes 03:14:35.240 --> 03:14:44.280 I actually do need these pictures. Oh, no All right, brother. I don't know. I feel like she said not that in the video. What? No, I well, okay. Hold on 03:14:45.000 --> 03:14:49.560 I take exception. I take exception to this. I take exception to this. I watched it 03:14:49.640 --> 03:14:53.400 But I thought she was like, you know, I don't need to see hold on. I don't need to see your blisters 03:14:53.480 --> 03:14:59.160 Whoa, what's going on with miss devich here? Hold on a second flagging for super soft flagging for hold on 03:15:00.120 --> 03:15:03.960 Careful, what's your hold on a second? I don't know what you're saying socks 03:15:04.440 --> 03:15:10.280 Don't hold on. Don't think out loud. I I would not send people a horrible picture unless 03:15:11.320 --> 03:15:15.480 There was a reason here we go uh 03:15:15.480 --> 03:15:17.480 Hold on here. I found the thread 03:15:18.840 --> 03:15:22.440 One session two hours and I have a picture 03:15:23.640 --> 03:15:30.680 of Like what happened to the socks? They are immediately like scuffed 03:15:30.680 --> 03:15:33.960 This was this was a sample that I rejected. You can see how they fuzzed 03:15:34.200 --> 03:15:42.280 Yeah, after two hours of playing badminton I have uglier pictures on my phone of the red spots and blisters caused by the slipperiness of the insides 03:15:42.280 --> 03:15:45.080 They slip like dress socks. They need to be less slidey 03:15:45.480 --> 03:15:48.520 Can show you if you really want to see but in a nutshell it hurts lol 03:15:49.000 --> 03:15:53.160 She says this is tatiana. Thank you for letting me know although kind of disappointing from the vendor that the issue 03:15:53.160 --> 03:15:56.360 Was not really improved. I'm going to schedule a call with the vendor to better communicate her requirements 03:15:56.360 --> 03:15:59.560 And that this cannot persist for her to continue sampling with them very professional emails 03:16:00.040 --> 03:16:02.440 She was I think pretty new uh at that point 03:16:03.080 --> 03:16:10.280 High Linus after relaying the above info to the vendor They have some follow-up questions to better tackle this issue one your shoe size and your routine movements during your two hour session 03:16:10.520 --> 03:16:14.600 Two they want photos of the whole sock or just feel free to bring them tomorrow during merge meeting 03:16:14.600 --> 03:16:21.160 And I can take the photos to send out three also I want to know the position of the blisters and red spots on your foot to make adjustments to the design 03:16:21.160 --> 03:16:25.720 Thank you for your help with this I said size eight attached footage of this Thursday session 03:16:26.120 --> 03:16:30.760 I put in my backpack photos of feet attached not for faint of heart. I do not have nice feet lol 03:16:31.560 --> 03:16:38.120 She says thank you for the warning lol and the video I'll grab the socks from you tomorrow and send all of these points out to the vendor. She asked for it 03:16:38.600 --> 03:16:40.600 She asked for the position 03:16:41.720 --> 03:16:47.080 What I'm gonna put coordinates. I'm gonna put latitude and longitude on my feet 30 degrees south 03:16:47.960 --> 03:16:49.960 I 03:16:51.640 --> 03:16:56.360 Think sending the picture at that point is reasonable, but I am just saying she didn't technically ask for a picture 03:16:58.600 --> 03:17:02.200 I'll let you guys be the judge. It's hard. Yeah, you can't do everything. Anyway, Tatiana is great 03:17:02.200 --> 03:17:05.320 She's doing a great job and we do have a strong candidate 03:17:05.560 --> 03:17:10.520 We do have a strong candidate for maybe an LTT sock at some point. Yeah, thank you. Yeah 03:17:11.720 --> 03:17:15.800 Last one I've got for you tonight. Hey there DLL getting the precision driver in bitset 03:17:15.880 --> 03:17:22.040 I'm really looking forward to using them at work.

Yeah, is that fair? Is that a product? I don't know 03:17:44.440 --> 03:17:48.520 I mean it is kind of oh, I mean, I love my I love my northern lights desk pad 03:17:48.840 --> 03:17:53.080 I've just like never thought about desk pads again after having the northern lights. Yeah me too 03:17:54.120 --> 03:17:58.280 Like the the thickness is perfect the woven edges. It's like looks good 03:18:02.520 --> 03:18:06.920 Wait, did we actually do a newsletter for the first time in a while?

Yeah 03:18:21.800 --> 03:18:23.800 Screwdriver 03:18:25.720 --> 03:18:29.560 Dude screwdrivers been crazy screwdriver has like changed our company 03:18:31.320 --> 03:18:37.880 Like, uh, I think we're I think nick was saying we are like well over a quarter million screwdrivers sold now 03:18:38.760 --> 03:18:43.080 Which is like what that's pretty nuts. Yeah, it's like genuinely pretty nuts 03:18:43.080 --> 03:18:48.920 Like we're like a screwdriver company with like a media production team attached to it like it's crazy 03:18:49.320 --> 03:18:54.200 We aren't the media company is still the uh, the bigger one, but it's big doll 03:18:55.560 --> 03:19:03.800 It's wild It's wild It's also hilarious to see people still talking about how it's a ten dollar, you know, ellie express 03:19:04.280 --> 03:19:07.960 You know rebadge or whatever like um on diy perks's video 03:19:07.960 --> 03:19:11.880 He's promoting the screwdriver as part of the sponsorship and like some of the replies are just like 03:19:11.960 --> 03:19:14.360 I don't know how anyone could be gullible enough to buy that. It's like 03:19:15.560 --> 03:19:19.240 I don't know how you could be gullible enough to read everything you read on the internet 03:19:20.200 --> 03:19:22.600 Um, because that's your you someone lied to you 03:19:23.320 --> 03:19:29.000 And you just have been uninformed for two years.

Yeah, they just really want it to be bad. Yeah 03:19:52.680 --> 03:20:01.400 Okay Manifesting does not actually work and again, it might be expensive. Oh, yeah, sure. Yep. It is expensive for a screwdriver 03:20:01.560 --> 03:20:05.960 Yep. Yep Cool 03:20:06.840 --> 03:20:10.200 See you again next week same bad times in bad channel. Bye 03:20:31.400 --> 03:20:34.360 No
