WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.000
Sorry, I'll be there in a sec.

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:08.000
I think that's going to work.

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:12.000
Yeah. Like for the sides?

00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:16.000
No, no, no, no. For the audience, too.

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:20.000
Oh, I have no idea.

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:24.000
Just gotta try stuff.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:34.000
Alright.

00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:38.000
Everything matched today, too.

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:42.000
Prism shirt at the prism underwear.

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:46.000
Nice. Solid.

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:50.000
Now it's all ruined. Solid.

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:54.000
My ability to can is gone.

00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:58.000
Oh, yeah. Nice.

00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:02.000
Nice. Solid.

00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:06.000
No, not prism underwear.

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:10.000
Prism. Prism.

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:14.000
The heck is going on with this thing? Oh, it's upside down. That makes sense.

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:18.000
That's how it should be.

00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:22.000
Yeah. No, mine's definitely way worse.

00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:26.000
Yeah, no, I know.

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:30.000
That's a solid like four seconds of wobble.

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.000
Oh, man.

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:38.000
Okay, my brain.

00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.000
Let's go to turn it on. I had like a glorious

00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:46.000
three hours of brain functionality today. It was like off this morning

00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:50.000
and now it's off again and then it was working for a bit when I was

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:54.000
doing a script review with Sean and then it...

00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:58.000
Did you have like four? Is that right?

00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:02.000
I heard there's like, you have like four hours of like peak performance in a day.

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:06.000
Something like that. You may not like it, but... It doesn't mean you can't do anything

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:10.000
outside of those hours, but like... Oh, I don't know. I think it does.

00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:18.000
I'll do my best. I'll do my best.

00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:22.000
We want unhinged Linus anyway. No, the world needs less of that. It's not good for

00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:26.000
everyone's morale and job security

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:30.000
around here.

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.000
Elijah was talking recently about the... The hard hour incident

00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:38.000
made another round like on the internet. Had like another wave.

00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:42.000
Yeah, did it. And so Elijah was talking about how he like was watching that.

00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:46.000
Not sure if he was going to have a job on Monday. Like just...

00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:50.000
I think... It's all good.

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:54.000
And I think at that time, if I had actually been a user of the

00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:58.000
word people thought that I was talking about, that could have been career ending

00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:02.000
for me. Yeah. I think it could have been.

00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:06.000
At that time, not now? I don't know, man. The rules seem different

00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:10.000
these days. The rules do seem a little different. I don't mean me. I just mean

00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:14.000
like, in general. People on the internet. Yeah, like

00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:18.000
not even on the internet. Just like, they're just... People just

00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:22.000
come to... The

00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:26.000
cycle, the news cycle is so fast. And like streamers

00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:30.000
in particular can do the most

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:34.000
abhorrent things and...

00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:38.000
Probably just gain viewers. Just go live on kick. What's his

00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:42.000
nuts? The Lux Maxing guy

00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:46.000
like overdosed on stream and then just was like streaming the next

00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:50.000
day. Did he? Apparently. Like actually OD'd? Apparently.

00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:54.000
On what?

00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:58.000
Dude, I don't know. Overdose.

00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:02.000
Hold on. TMZ. Yeah. Okay. The New

00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:06.000
York Times reports what we know about Clavicular's

00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:10.000
overdose. After a parent

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:14.000
overdose, he's back at a club. This is from yesterday.

00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:18.000
The New York Times, sir. But like

00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:22.000
hospitalized after suspected overdose

00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:26.000
swears off drugs after live stream overdose.

00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:30.000
PR dropped him after hospitalization.

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:34.000
I really just... Rolling Stone has an article about

00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:38.000
this. Is this guy that big? Like am I

00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:42.000
missing something here?

00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:46.000
I don't know. Do you follow

00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:50.000
him? No. You look very Lux Maxed.

00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:54.000
I just mean you're a very beautiful man. That's all. Oh wow. Oh wow.

00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:58.000
Oh wow. Yeah, no key says even NBC has an article.

00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:02.000
I'm gonna start obsessing over Min Maxing that and start smashing the

00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:06.000
bones in my face. You gotta

00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:10.000
smash some bones, dude. I think it's

00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:14.000
a little late for me, dude. If you're not smashing your bones, are you really trying?

00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:18.000
If you're not destroying your bone structure regularly, I don't know

00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:22.000
if you're really trying. Oh man, I

00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:26.000
don't think that anything I do would qualify to him as trying.

00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:30.000
I mean I do stuff. You did the thing, the pokey thing?

00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:34.000
Yeah, I did the pokey thing. I don't know what that was. Yeah, microneedling.

00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:38.000
Yeah, I've done microneedling and I've done like energized microneedling, which is very

00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:42.000
painful. Very

00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:46.000
painful, very unpleasant. Have you ever

00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:50.000
been in so much pain that instead of being more awake, you're more like

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:54.000
you just want to sleep?

00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:58.000
No. I don't

00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:02.000
think. It goes on for a really long time. It almost reaches

00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:06.000
the point where sleep seems like a reasonable alternative.

00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:10.000
I have a hard time with

00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:14.000
pain that I can fight versus pain that I can't fight.

00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:18.000
I've noticed that I've had conversations with Emma about this, where I'm like

00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:22.000
kind of confused about it, but like I will run

00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:26.000
into a wall for like a good joke

00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:30.000
and like be completely fine, but that's like under my control.

00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.000
I inflict it to myself. I get to decide when it ends, all that kind of

00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:38.000
stuff. If it's just like, oh yeah, just sit here and we're going to do this thing and it's going to hurt

00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:42.000
and we'll be done whenever, then I'm like such a baby.

00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:46.000
I don't know why there's like a difference in my head.

00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:50.000
What about something like hair removal?

00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:54.000
Where you're the one inflicting it. You can technically

00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:58.000
end it whenever you want. If I'm pulling it myself. But the job's not done until

00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:02.000
the job's done. If I'm pulling it myself, totally fine.

00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:06.000
If someone else is doing it, not okay. Not okay at all.

00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:10.000
This is what I mean though. Interesting.

00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:14.000
If I'm in control of it, the pain doesn't really bother me very much at all.

00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:18.000
Interesting. But if someone else gets to decide when it starts, when it ends, when they're going, when

00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:22.000
they're not, then again, I'm such a baby.

00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:26.000
It's funny that you used your face as an example because I actually

00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:30.000
plucked my cheeks. Oh yeah, you'll get straight ones up here. Yeah, I prefer to pluck them

00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:34.000
rather than having to shave it all the time. Sure, yeah.

00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:38.000
I thought maybe I was the only one who does that though. I thought that was a weird thing.

00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:42.000
No, I don't know. There'll even be like, I'll have a weird one

00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:46.000
on my eyebrow and Emma will go to try to grab it and I'll be like, okay,

00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:50.000
just let me do it because I'd rather

00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:54.000
deal with it myself. That's pretty funny. I don't know why this

00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:58.000
is a thing.

00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:02.000
Yay, can just thaw your face.

00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:06.000
What? You can just, okay, I don't know what thaw means,

00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:10.000
but I think the first one is you. Okay. You can just thaw

00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:14.000
your face.

00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:18.000
I'm lost.

00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:22.000
Yeah, dude. Oh man, like thick coarse facial hairs

00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:26.000
are really, really, really painful. I don't do any more of them than I absolutely

00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:30.000
have to. See, if I just do it myself, it just

00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:34.000
doesn't bother you. I'll have like a brutal, those like quadruple

00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:38.000
thick grays that you get every once in a while. I'll rip one of those out, it's totally fine.

00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:42.000
But if someone else does that to me, I'll be upset.

00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:46.000
The first time a girlfriend plucked an eyebrow hair on me,

00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:50.000
I cried. Not gonna lie. But you can probably do it yourself, no

00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.000
problem. Yeah, it's fine myself. Yeah, it's weird. I don't know what's up with that.

00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:58.000
Thaw your face, use the hammer. Oh.

00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:02.000
Is that what they call it? That's that bone smashing thing?

00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:06.000
Oh no, this is a different person responding. They just both have green names.

00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:10.000
Thaw your face looks maxing. Okay, I'm looking this up.

00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:14.000
The world's shortest looks maxing guide.

00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:18.000
I thought this was PewDiePie for a second, just looking at the thumbnail.

00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:22.000
I don't feel like he would do that. No, I really think he's too based.

00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.000
It's so obvious that Thor's looks maxing. Okay, so

00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:30.000
hammer is something to do with this? Well, they literally hit themselves in the face

00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:34.000
with like a hammer. Okay.

00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:38.000
When I said bone smashing, I wasn't kidding.

00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:42.000
I only know about bone smashing because someone tried to like

00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:46.000
make a joke about it to me and I was so confused and then they had to explain it.

00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:50.000
This is so bizarre.

00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:54.000
Hard maxing trend. Here are dangers.

00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:58.000
Thank you, University of Nebraska.

00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:02.000
Just have such a hard time with this. Like imagine, if you're

00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:06.000
wondering whether you should hit yourself in the face with the hammer, the answer is typically no.

00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:10.000
Thank you, Forbes. Why do you need to

00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:14.000
write that sentence? Bring deep wisdom. You shouldn't need to write that sentence.

00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:18.000
Deep wisdom, dude. Alright, we should do the show because I think I got to go

00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:22.000
at 5.30. Is that the time?

00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:26.000
Alright, let's do this thing. Oh, my back.

00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:30.000
I heard that. Oh, I heard that one too.

00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:34.000
Oh, I'm good. I'm good. Okay.

00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:38.000
I'm alive. Have you been training your back? No, my back is just stiff.

00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:42.000
Is that okay? Yeah.

00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:46.000
Alright. Okay, there is one

00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:50.000
thing that I did. Would you do? Yeah. Well, I trained my back. I was like sit and it was like

00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:58.000
I was like lie down and it was like, oh, I'm too old.

00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:02.000
Okay, sorry.

00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:06.000
Yeah, go for it. Do it.

00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:20.000
Okay.

00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:40.000
What is up, everybody? And welcome

00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:44.000
to Friday. It's Friday, which means

00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:48.000
it's Friday. It's the WAN, stop it right now. It's the WAN

00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:52.000
show. We've got a great show lined up for you today. There will be no

00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:56.000
singing of that song, but what there will be is talking about how

00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:00.000
YouTube has yielded and finally is allowing

00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:04.000
not just kids, but all users to limit their YouTube

00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:08.000
shorts to zero minutes, which is pretty

00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:12.000
flipping incredible. Another incredible piece of news

00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:16.000
I don't know if this really falls in with our

00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:20.000
positive news WAN Show thing that we've got going on for the month of April,

00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:24.000
but it's certainly hilarious. Struggling shoe retailer

00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:28.000
Allbirds has made a bizarre pivot from shoes

00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:32.000
to AI, which has caused their stock to absolutely

00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:36.000
explode in value. I don't know if

00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:40.000
that's a good news WAN Show topic. It's funny. Fair enough.

00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:44.000
Fair enough. California bill would require long term support

00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:48.000
for server connected games. Cool. That's

00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:52.000
freaking awesome. At least it seems on the surface. Yeah.

00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:56.000
Other than that, I don't know. I'm going to go with this one. DaVinci Resolve

00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:00.000
21 is now a Lightroom alternative with raw editing, tethering, masking

00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:04.000
and more, which is great because it's free. This is so cool.

00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:08.000
That's great.

00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:14.000
Music

00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:18.000
Music

00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:22.000
Music

00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:26.000
Music

00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:30.000
The show is brought to you today by Zero Bounce, AMD, MSI and Square.

00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:34.000
Alongside our rap partner Dbrand, our laptop partner Razer, and our chair partner also

00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:38.000
Razer. Why don't we jump right into our headline

00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:42.000
topic today, which is that YouTube is now allowing you to hide

00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:46.000
short. So if you're the type of person who just plain doesn't

00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:50.000
enjoy them and doesn't want to see them, or if you're the type of person who's on

00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:54.000
completely the other end of the spectrum and enjoys them

00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:58.000
too much and wants tools to help you with your self-control,

00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:02.000
YouTube has... is

00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:06.000
moving in the right direction. Yeah, because I don't think what they're doing hides shorts.

00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:10.000
I think saying it hides shorts is actually just incorrect, is it not? So

00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:14.000
it seems a little complicated. I haven't done it. Depending on the coverage

00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:18.000
I've seen of it, either it sounds like shorts will still appear

00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:22.000
within the interface, but they will be treated like regular

00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:26.000
videos rather than just allowing you to swipe endlessly

00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:30.000
hard time believing that too. Or it sounds like

00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:34.000
if you set it to zero minutes and then actually fully like close the app and reopen

00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:38.000
it, they should just be gone. Maybe people didn't reload their app.

00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:42.000
So what I'm thinking is, hey, f**k it, we'll do it live.

00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:46.000
I like it. Let's pop over, let's pop over on here. I'm going

00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:50.000
to fire up my YouTube app. I've got... yep, okay cool.

00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:54.000
I'm on my account with premium here, so instructions.

00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:58.000
Where do I go? I go into... Show the camera a little bit more.

00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:02.000
Yeah, well I'm trying to be careful just in case something incriminating comes up. That makes sense.

00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:06.000
Linus watches Spider-Man and Elsa content.

00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:10.000
What is it? How did you know? Can't show that to the camera.

00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:14.000
Okay, you might have to actually find instructions because I thought this would be

00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:18.000
really straightforward. I don't actually see it.

00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:22.000
Purchases of memberships. Oh, time management.

00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:26.000
There should be a shorts feed limit menu. Okay, I got it.

00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:30.000
So I'm here in time management and then all I got to do is go to my daily

00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:34.000
limits. Shorts feed limit and...

00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:38.000
Mine is still 15 minutes. Well what

00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:42.000
the crap? Okay, I'm going to close the app. Do you need to update the app maybe?

00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:46.000
I mean, this wouldn't be the first time that I've run into

00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:50.000
issues where foldable devices do not necessarily get the

00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:54.000
best version of the app. Let me get it installed just in case.

00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:58.000
Daily limits. Nope. Alright, well

00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:02.000
good news everyone. As long as you're not me, then

00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:06.000
you may have the option to limit your shorts to 0 minutes.

00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:10.000
Wow.

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:14.000
That blows. Okay, how's it going for chat?

00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:18.000
I'm updating and checking mine. Rocketman619 says

00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:22.000
I'm doing it on mine. I don't see the option either. Nullifier says

00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:26.000
isn't there on my graphene pixel. Crystals got it though.

00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:30.000
Okay. Mine is at 0.

00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:34.000
How does it behave though? Headline says not me on latest iOS.

00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:38.000
I don't have the option. It worked for me. It says Blake Mavericks on a

00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:42.000
Pixel 10 Pro XL. So it looks like it depends.

00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:46.000
So a lot of people are speculating that this might be a regional update

00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:50.000
but I suspect less than being regional

00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:54.000
it's probably just a slow rollout because when you operate at the

00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:58.000
kind of scale that Google does... You do percentage rollouts for sure.

00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:02.000
You do not roll something out to 100% of users

00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:06.000
all at once because you never know what something might break

00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:10.000
and it's way better to break 3% of your users

00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:14.000
than 10% of them than 20% of them

00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:18.000
versus just immediately breaking 100% of them. It gives you a lot more

00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:22.000
flexibility to stop the slow roll that you're doing

00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:26.000
like trying to take these back seas like catastrophic global rollout.

00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:30.000
So unfortunately we don't get to

00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:34.000
try it today unless of course Luke's works. Nope. It did not.

00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:38.000
Nope. Dan?

00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:42.000
Did you try it? Oh yeah. Oh you got your phone right there. Yep. Alright cool. He's mute today

00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:46.000
I suppose. No it's not working. Dan doesn't talk anymore. You know what I like it better this way.

00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:50.000
Don't forget it. No I'm good.

00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:54.000
Why did you attack him?

00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:58.000
Yeah why did you laugh out at him?

00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:02.000
Alright thanks Dan. He's saying he has too many buttons

00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:06.000
and he just accidentally pressed the wrong button because he has too many buttons. There's so many things to do.

00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:10.000
Either way

00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:14.000
I look forward to this being rolled out to me because

00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:18.000
I just don't want to see many shorts

00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:22.000
if it actually works I look forward to it as well. While I don't necessarily

00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:26.000
know how useful this is going to be for people who find themselves

00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:30.000
quite addicted to doom scrolling and quite addicted

00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:34.000
to shorts because I don't know if you've ever set a time limit on an

00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:38.000
app in your phone how easy it is to say. It's too easy to bypass. Add more time.

00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:42.000
That's why I just uninstall them now.

00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:46.000
I also found that that was the only thing that worked for me. It worked for a long time

00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:50.000
and I just didn't do the bypass and then there was I think I was using

00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:54.000
YouTube for work reasons and bypassed the timer

00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:58.000
and then you get the brain worm of like that was easy.

00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:02.000
It was. It didn't hurt at all. And then it's like oh no

00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:06.000
they just have to be uninstalled now. You know what was really nice for me

00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:10.000
do you remember I was talking did we talk about it on wanshow how reddit got rid of r slash

00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:14.000
all? Oh no I don't use it enough to notice.

00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:18.000
Okay well reddit got rid of r slash all for reasons that

00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:22.000
the sort of you know community conspiracy theorists

00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:26.000
seem to believe well the homepage is more algorithmic

00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:30.000
whereas r slash all was just top surfaced topics

00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:34.000
from all subreddits. Okay so now the homepage is like curated for you

00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:38.000
so the prevailing theory is that it's to it's to get you more

00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:42.000
algorithmically hooked and siloed and deliver more personalized

00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:46.000
content to you rather than just have a convenient no sign in

00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:50.000
required spot that you can go and just check what the top

00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:54.000
upvoted stuff is today and it has actually been

00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:58.000
a blessing in disguise because I was spending a little bit too much time just like

00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:02.000
browsing stuff on reddit and them removing r slash all

00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:06.000
has pretty much completely killed my habit. Nobody tell him. Yeah I'm

00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:10.000
actually very very thankful. Don't tell him. Good job

00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:14.000
reddit I have. Don't tell him. Probably cut my time on your site by

00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:18.000
about 90% because I'll just check on you know what's going on in

00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:22.000
our most relevant subreddit. I also quite like WallStreetBets

00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:26.000
just because I find their attitude

00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:30.000
delightful. Yeah. I enjoy a good loss porn

00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:34.000
as much as anybody else does. And then that's about it.

00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:38.000
Is this loss? It can be. Sometimes it

00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:42.000
is. I'll check like the LTT subreddit see how Lucas's posts are

00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:46.000
doing. Two people's comments on the mar. Hey why don't we jump right into

00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:50.000
that. Sure. In yet another what is becoming a common

00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:54.000
LTT Labs win. Yeah. Lucas

00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:58.000
uploaded an awesome article this week here if you want to find the topic I'll

00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:02.000
load it up on the site. Sure yeah I'll read what the notes are I'm interested

00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:06.000
I don't know if yeah Lucas didn't write this okay so in a new article from LTT

00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:10.000
Labs this week we examine testing for a minimum display brightness

00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:14.000
something that's becoming a selling point with a variety of different brands

00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:18.000
it's not part of our current test suite when we're like reviewing phones or anything

00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:22.000
but we are equipped to test down to fractions of a knit so we

00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:26.000
tested a half dozen common phones and found that they were all capable

00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:30.000
of impressingly low brightness dimness whatever you want

00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:34.000
to call it of a single knit or less we found that one of the phones tested

00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:38.000
was able to get down to just a thousandths of a knit

00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:42.000
and if you want to learn more about our test equipment the process see the results all that kind of stuff

00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:46.000
go to the article it's on lttlabs.com you can navigate to

00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:50.000
lttlabs.com and then it's just in the sidebar

00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:54.000
if you want to see all the articles that come out it's in the sidebar if you want to feed

00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:58.000
of them there's a variety of different feed options for getting

00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:02.000
notified about them or they also get

00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:06.000
posted sometimes Lucas generally posts them to the reddit to

00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:10.000
like the LTT subreddit but some other people post them on other

00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:14.000
subreddits around the reddit and the internet

00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:18.000
and all those fun things but yeah check it out we're trying to do cool stuff over there so

00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:22.000
yeah it's really cool I mean I don't know about you but really low

00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:26.000
minimum brightness is an absolute game changer for me in terms of like

00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:30.000
my wind down late at night I like to have all my lights down

00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:34.000
it's light emission from devices it's supposed to be bad for your brain trying

00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:38.000
to fall asleep right so if you lower it your circadian rhythms get kind of

00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:42.000
mucked up from from light supposedly look I'm not going to make

00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:46.000
any kinds of health claims I will I know this for sure

00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:50.000
it is it is definitely a fact we personally

00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:54.000
actually ran a peer reviewed study of 400,000

00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:58.000
people and their sleeping patterns for two decades and know

00:22:58.000 --> 00:23:02.000
this for sure this is a health podcast we are

00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:06.000
experts and scientists and doctors

00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:10.000
for anyone listening right now I was furiously

00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:14.000
mashing the doesn't know button

00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:18.000
so everything that he just said was completely nullified by that I just want

00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:22.000
to make sure I get out there yeah as Noki said as well every single one of those

00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:26.000
test subjects only ever have used Firefox they've actually never used

00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:30.000
chrome never used edge they would install Firefox off

00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:34.000
of like USB drives they might not use edge but

00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:38.000
do they edge when using Firefox yes okay

00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:42.000
that that makes sense using

00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:46.000
Firefox can be very exciting yes

00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:50.000
any who was that was that it for that topic I think so

00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:54.000
we're just kind of pointing people there we can talk about the

00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:58.000
article if we want but I also think it's just like you know go give it a read

00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:02.000
okay I'll spoil one thing I'll spoil one thing with a certain combination

00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:06.000
of settings it was the latest iPhone that was able to reach

00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:10.000
a thousandth of a knit and actually I learned something

00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:14.000
reading that article because I already knew about some of the tweaks

00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:18.000
that you can use to push the display brightness even lower but I didn't

00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:22.000
know about all of them and so one of mine and Yvonne's like

00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:26.000
wind down is we'll sit and play wordscapes in bed sometimes

00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:30.000
and I honestly it doesn't work for me as well

00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:34.000
as it does for her but like if we play wordscapes in bed she's usually snoring

00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:38.000
within about like four minutes afterwards so we'll sit and we'll play like a few rounds of wordscapes

00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:42.000
and having it any higher than absolute minimum

00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:46.000
she's on an iPhone right now and then also

00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:50.000
turning down the like white point there's like a white point setting and accessibility

00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:54.000
it's just a stupid word jumble

00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:58.000
it has really obnoxious ads I'm not recommending it

00:24:58.000 --> 00:25:02.000
I play the every once in a while we'll dabble with we use one phone

00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:06.000
and collaboratively play the New York Times games

00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:10.000
like Wordle and all that kind of stuff

00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:14.000
Crystal apparently tested the time limit

00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:18.000
New time limit doesn't hide them

00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:22.000
it just gives you a limit that you can

00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:26.000
immediately bypass yeah so I'm just not going to have the app

00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:30.000
installed still well I guess because it's like

00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:34.000
a Google device it's still installed but it's disabled

00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:38.000
yeah let's see okay so there's a short

00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:42.000
if I click it you've reached your limit so when

00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:46.000
you go to scroll it says you've reached your limit and there's just a big glowing button you can press

00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:50.000
them anyways yeah so they didn't do

00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:54.000
jack that is useless but it's good news

00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:58.000
so on to more things and you can also just not have it installed

00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:02.000
so that works cool

00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:06.000
Talon says no it actually worked for me it's not showing shorts

00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:10.000
inconsistent okay Talon

00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:14.000
Crystal can you close the app and restart it

00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:18.000
you can actually even restart your entire phone

00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:22.000
HunterDOS says my app shows no shorts

00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:26.000
not showing the short would be enough

00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:30.000
if it's not enticing you

00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:34.000
there's a number of people saying it shows zero shorts

00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:38.000
I'm choosing to be cautiously optimistic

00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:42.000
not because I think Google suddenly developed a conscience

00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:46.000
but because I think that the recent ruling determining that

00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:50.000
they had created their apps intentionally in a way that harms

00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:54.000
the development of miners we talked about that either one or two weeks ago

00:26:54.000 --> 00:26:58.000
maybe pushing them to swing the pendulum back

00:26:58.000 --> 00:27:02.000
the other way a little bit in terms of how aggressively

00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:06.000
attention sucking their app design is and you know

00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:10.000
we should be encouraging of anything they do in this direction no matter what

00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:14.000
incentivize them to ultimately move this way

00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:18.000
if it behaves the way it did in crystal screen capture

00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:22.000
then I don't care about it at all but if it isn't showing shorts then that's fantastic

00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:26.000
and if you like click a link to a short and it opens up in the

00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:30.000
YouTube chat in the YouTube app and then you decide to scroll

00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:34.000
I don't know whatever if it then warns you like hey you're out of time

00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:38.000
you set your time limit to zero and you decide to bypass

00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:42.000
you've done so many things to go around the setting

00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:46.000
you know at a certain point we have to be accountable for

00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:50.000
our choices yeah exactly so like I don't expect them to go way above

00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:54.000
and beyond but if you say hey I don't want shorts it shouldn't

00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:58.000
advertise them to you it should actually stop there

00:27:58.000 --> 00:28:02.000
in other good news it removes it from the main feed but you can see it in a creator's channel

00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:06.000
if you go there I mean I think that's fair I think that's also fine

00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:10.000
yeah in other good news DaVinci Resolve 21

00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:14.000
is now a lightroom alternative raw editing

00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:18.000
tethering masking and more black magic design announced this

00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:22.000
at NAB 2026 and the biggest surprise

00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:26.000
is the dedicated photo page that turns Hollywood's go-to

00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:30.000
color grading suite into a direct lightroom competitor

00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:34.000
the update supports raw files from Canon, Sony, Nikon

00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:38.000
and Fujifilm and brings Resolve's node based color tools to

00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:42.000
still images for the first time the tool

00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:46.000
the photo tool includes album management with ratings and filters

00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:50.000
AI magic mask for one-click subject selection, AI ultra sharpen for upscaling

00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:54.000
tethered shooting with Sony and Canon cameras and the ability

00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:58.000
to import existing lightroom catalogs most of the

00:28:58.000 --> 00:29:02.000
photo page features are included in the free version only AI magic mask

00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:06.000
and film look creator require the $295

00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:10.000
one time studio upgrade one time

00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:14.000
one time dude that's so good

00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:18.000
one time is no problem black magic dude they don't do everything

00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:22.000
right but they are pretty

00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:26.000
based while they do some things wrong and most things right and that's okay

00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:30.000
and they've been winning with DaVinci for a long time I've had a number of conversations

00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:34.000
with people in the video creative space that are talking about how

00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:38.000
like and I think I've talked about this on my show a couple times but the kids coming out of school

00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:42.000
are all using DaVinci

00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:46.000
so like the industry is shifting pretty heavily right now

00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:50.000
and why shouldn't they for context here Adobe charges $10 a month

00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:54.000
for lightroom which adds up to $120 a year with

00:29:54.000 --> 00:29:58.000
no end in sight and that's just lightroom and with the way that Adobe is going

00:29:58.000 --> 00:30:02.000
no realistic future where that's going to become

00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:06.000
cheaper rather than more expensive DaVinci resolves free version

00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:10.000
now covers most of what lightroom does and the full studio license is a one time

00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:14.000
purchase that never expires for hybrid photo and video shooters

00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:18.000
having everything in one app with matching color tools across stills and footage is a genuine

00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:22.000
workflow game changer and

00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:26.000
man I'm almost afraid to say it

00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:30.000
feels like finally we're getting to the point where maybe Adobe

00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:34.000
is going to have to start to acknowledge that they have competition

00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:38.000
like do I go to our production team and basically say

00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:42.000
like okay hey are we getting close now? I have asked

00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:46.000
it was four, almost five years ago I think that I did that video

00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:50.000
where the thumbnails like me holding out all the money and I'm like I pay $10,000

00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:54.000
a month to Adobe dude yeah if I remember correctly it's like more than

00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:58.000
a full time employee you're paying to Adobe a year and it's not

00:30:58.000 --> 00:31:02.000
like I'm getting a full time employee's worth of like attention from

00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:06.000
Adobe that's for sure hold on let me see if I can find this line

00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:10.000
as Adobe

00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:14.000
and you can see how many people this message resonated

00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:18.000
with like 4.7 million views

00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:22.000
why do I pay Adobe $10,000 oh was it a year back then?

00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:26.000
it's a lot more than that now sorry it's not $100,000

00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:30.000
a year but I think it's is it closer to like 60 now or something like that?

00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:34.000
I think it's around there or above I don't remember

00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:38.000
when we did how does LMG spend money? I remember it being either number one or number two

00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:42.000
for the software solutions that we pay the most for

00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:46.000
very highly up there and that's US dollars if I recall correctly

00:31:46.000 --> 00:31:50.000
so it's pretty yucky the number I've seen

00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:54.000
would be CAD okay so that would be like a 40% uplift on yours

00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:58.000
either way it's a butt ton

00:31:58.000 --> 00:32:02.000
it's crazy it's a ton that's so big I don't even know if it would fit

00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:06.000
in your butt anymore it's a greater than

00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:10.000
greater than butt ton it depends on the domination of it

00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:14.000
oh yeah right that would make a big difference $100 bills would be a much bigger

00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:18.000
butt ton than fives anyway

00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:22.000
Petricor Imperial asks the chat

00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:26.000
not the point the point is I'm always going to root for

00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:30.000
a disruptor coming in and making life more difficult

00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:34.000
for a monopoly or a de facto monopoly especially one that

00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:38.000
I frankly feel has abused their position

00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:42.000
I'm not the only one who feels that way Adobe recently had to settle

00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:46.000
that thing around their billing practices and I still remember

00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:50.000
how outraged I was when I found out that you can't just

00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:54.000
they treat it like signing a contract with them every seat that you

00:32:54.000 --> 00:32:58.000
add to your organization absolutely ludicrous and I think they might have

00:32:58.000 --> 00:33:02.000
changed some of those practices now but not until they were forced to

00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:06.000
yeah hiding fees preventing customers from easily cancelling software subscriptions

00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:10.000
it's like don't you have enough money can't you just have the customers

00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:14.000
who willingly pay you

00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:18.000
coffee as s*** you know

00:33:18.000 --> 00:33:22.000
I'm getting the number oh it doesn't matter that much it's fine

00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:26.000
it's more than 10,000 less than 100,000 I think that's a fine enough

00:33:26.000 --> 00:33:30.000
sort of nebulous spot to leave it

00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:34.000
alright

00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:38.000
we're still moving what are we doing that just says headline topic

00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:42.000
Dan we finished the headline topic like 15 minutes ago

00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:46.000
he's gonna put up two more topics he's just gonna make us yeah

00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:50.000
you guys can't see it but he just put up

00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:54.000
a sign that just Ross says more topics

00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:02.000
oh it's pretty good

00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:06.000
yeah it seems right to me it seems totally right to me wow

00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:10.000
wow wow forget it I don't even want your cue cards

00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:14.000
for it I think they're very informative let's talk about

00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:18.000
a California bill that would require long term

00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:22.000
support for server connected games stop killing

00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:26.000
games is backing California bill AB 1921

00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:30.000
introduced by state assembly member Chris Ward and expected to be up for

00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:34.000
debate in the assembly soon to him the protect our

00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:38.000
games act proposes new regulations that would apply to digital games released

00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:42.000
after December 1st 2026

00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:46.000
I don't like it but I do understand

00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:50.000
it yeah I know I get that I get it I get that there's an entire

00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:54.000
there's an entire epoch of games that could end up

00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:58.000
lost because this will only go into effect for new games going forward

00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:02.000
but I understand why you can't just change the rules

00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:06.000
midstream after companies have already this will still be

00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:10.000
changing the rules midstream for some people yes but I get it

00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:14.000
at least they get a little bit of heads up under the act digital game operators

00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:18.000
would be required to provide 60 days notice before they shut

00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:22.000
down any services or servers that are necessary for the ordinary

00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:26.000
use of the game they must provide details about which features will stop

00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:30.000
working they must explain how the user can continue to play the

00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:34.000
game after the shutdown and warn of any security issues

00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:38.000
that might arise from the shutdown notice would need to be provided both

00:35:38.000 --> 00:35:42.000
in-game and on the operators website and as originally written

00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:46.000
the game operator would also have been required to seize sales and distribution

00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:50.000
of the game at the 60 day notice but this has since been changed to the shutdown date

00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:54.000
as the bill has worked its way through reviews which I actually I

00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:58.000
think I kind of get because if for whatever reason you're still able to use it

00:35:58.000 --> 00:36:02.000
in some way afterward then I if I was like

00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:06.000
oh that sounds pretty good I want to buy it I wouldn't want to be prevented from

00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:10.000
doing that that it should be my choice if I want to buy it or not sure I could

00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:14.000
see making a warning mandatory hey this game is shutting down on this day these are going to be the changes

00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:18.000
but just telling me I'm not allowed to buy it I mean that seems

00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:22.000
like it's punishing me I can even think of certain games like a

00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:26.000
Titanfall to I don't think I think there's a

00:36:26.000 --> 00:36:30.000
community server mod but I don't think it naturally

00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:34.000
had community servers on launch I could be wrong with this I don't really remember

00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:38.000
but it costs like four dollars now when it's on sale and it's like always

00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:42.000
on sale and I would highly recommend people buy it for the single player

00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:46.000
and if the multiplayer doesn't work like whatever like it's still worth buying the

00:36:46.000 --> 00:36:50.000
game so like yeah as long as there is some flag like by the way the multiplayer doesn't work anymore

00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:54.000
if you want to make that decision I think that's still fine it's 40 Canadian

00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:58.000
dollars right now that yeah it's just on sale like practically all the time

00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:02.000
only buy it on sale for sure yeah it goes it goes on like 90% off sales

00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:06.000
all the time so I'll just wait for one of those

00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:10.000
starting on the shutdown date the operator would be required to provide

00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:14.000
purchasers with at least one of a new version of the game

00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:18.000
that can be used without the operator services

00:37:18.000 --> 00:37:22.000
fantastic a patch for the existing version of the game that

00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:26.000
works without the operator services fantastic based

00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:30.000
a full refund of the purchase price that also works

00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:34.000
that also works I don't prefer that one but

00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:38.000
what this does is it gives companies an

00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:42.000
out if they're in an absolutely desperate situation

00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:46.000
can't do the previous two for some weird legal reason or whatever else or for

00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:50.000
cost reasons sometimes that might not be practical what was that

00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:54.000
Sony game concord or was that the one

00:37:54.000 --> 00:37:58.000
one of the games the enormous game that they had that they shut down after

00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:02.000
like a couple of weeks one of them I feel like they did it to more than one but that is one of them

00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:06.000
yeah so like for a game like that where the entire problem

00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:10.000
with the game is that they've poured all this money into it

00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:14.000
and then practically no one bought it

00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:18.000
it may actually make more sense because practically no one bought it

00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:22.000
for them to just issue like a few tens of thousands of

00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:26.000
dollars of refunds or even a few hundred grand worth of refunds and basically just go

00:38:26.000 --> 00:38:30.000
okay forget it we just we put this in the dustbin of history

00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:34.000
but in that case we're talking about a game where there's not going to be

00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:38.000
nearly the same degree of like loss of

00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:42.000
shared experience and loss of gaming history necessarily compared

00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:46.000
to something that people played for many many many years and then just

00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:50.000
you know is turned off and can no longer be accessed

00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:54.000
well there is still loss but not the same scale I guess it's scale of loss

00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:58.000
importance importance and so and so having that

00:38:58.000 --> 00:39:02.000
having that that pulse that pull cord that they can basically

00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:06.000
just go okay for whatever reason we cannot do this

00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:10.000
if it is because no I don't think any company

00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:14.000
would want to choose to refund every copy

00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:18.000
of a game they ever sold yeah like if you were to tell rockstar

00:39:18.000 --> 00:39:22.000
so yeah GTA 5 you can do a new

00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:26.000
version of the game that can be used without your services a patch for the existing version

00:39:26.000 --> 00:39:30.000
so it'll work without your services or a full refund of the purchase price which one

00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:34.000
you think they're going to pick this is also like just just as a note this is

00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:38.000
long term support I don't think this is necessarily forever support

00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:42.000
of course there are exceptions these new rules would not

00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:46.000
apply to subscription based services that are clearly

00:39:46.000 --> 00:39:50.000
advertised as only offering access to a game for the duration of the subscription so something

00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:54.000
like wow would not be covered by this MMOs in general

00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:58.000
it does not apply to free games and this is where things get

00:39:58.000 --> 00:40:02.000
a little bit hazy for me because if you've spent

00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:06.000
$300 on say for example league skins

00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:10.000
sure one skin okay are yeah is that

00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:14.000
a free game

00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:18.000
yeah exactly yeah a lot of

00:40:18.000 --> 00:40:22.000
free games people spend more money on the games

00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:26.000
yeah so I'd be interested as this makes its way

00:40:26.000 --> 00:40:30.000
through the drafting process I would be interested to see

00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:34.000
how they're going to tackle that and then the third one is that games

00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:38.000
that the seller can't revoke access to after the sale

00:40:38.000 --> 00:40:42.000
seems that the seller can't revoke access to

00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:46.000
I'm not quite sure what that means but the first two were pretty I don't know what that means for games that require

00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:50.000
server connected yeah yeah

00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:54.000
yeah okay so maybe that's just for games where it wouldn't be relevant

00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:58.000
in other stop killing games news the EU parliament held an introductory

00:40:58.000 --> 00:41:02.000
hearing yesterday on the European citizens initiative stop destroying

00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:06.000
video games organizers were able to present their initiative to parliament but

00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:10.000
a parliamentary response is not expected to come before July you can find

00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:14.000
video of the hearing on the European Parliament YouTube channel

00:41:14.000 --> 00:41:18.000
this is far more momentum than

00:41:18.000 --> 00:41:22.000
I expected stop killing games to get

00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:26.000
oh yeah I'm impressed it's yeah on the one hand

00:41:26.000 --> 00:41:30.000
you know maybe my pessimism was partly

00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:34.000
rooted in a belief that there are

00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:38.000
really important other things that the world kind of needs to deal with other than

00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:42.000
like video games and stuff and maybe I just even though

00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:46.000
it's something that's very near and dear to me I expected

00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:50.000
you know stuffy octogenarian lawmakers to just

00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:54.000
look at the whole games thing as just

00:41:54.000 --> 00:41:58.000
video games and not care about it but then on the other hand

00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:02.000
there's enormous amounts of money at play

00:42:02.000 --> 00:42:06.000
there's a lot of money at play art is important and I think I think

00:42:06.000 --> 00:42:10.000
there's different people that do different things there's different people that have different expertise

00:42:10.000 --> 00:42:14.000
and you can you can do more than one thing at once

00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:18.000
yeah no key says and all it took was for one guy to

00:42:18.000 --> 00:42:22.000
speak out against the movement that's what popularized it I

00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:26.000
don't think it's that simple although it did I do think it had

00:42:26.000 --> 00:42:30.000
a pretty big impact it definitely did shine a lot of light on the movement

00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:34.000
speaking of big impact against your will I got the numbers

00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:38.000
it's before tax $62,000 for creative cloud

00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:42.000
just creative cloud and before tax

00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:46.000
and then before tax just for adobe acrobat pro

00:42:46.000 --> 00:42:50.000
it's $4,500

00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:54.000
why do we need $4,500 worth of it

00:42:54.000 --> 00:42:58.000
who's doing pdfs

00:42:58.000 --> 00:43:02.000
I know we get pdfs signed

00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:06.000
both of them

00:43:06.000 --> 00:43:10.000
that shouldn't be a

00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:14.000
controversial statement we do get pdfs signed though

00:43:14.000 --> 00:43:18.000
I think it's very convenient to have like the cloud version

00:43:18.000 --> 00:43:22.000
of pdfs signs

00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:26.000
is it convenient enough to be $4,500 a year

00:43:26.000 --> 00:43:30.000
I don't know I don't know what people use them for I don't use it I mean if it's an alternative

00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:34.000
to like fax then I suppose

00:43:34.000 --> 00:43:38.000
I haven't used adobe acrobat in a long time

00:43:38.000 --> 00:43:42.000
I've recently been using only office

00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:46.000
it's pretty easy right seems fine it's free

00:43:46.000 --> 00:43:50.000
is that that website where you just go and it's pictures of people in suits

00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:54.000
no it seems to be like

00:43:54.000 --> 00:43:58.000
that was canadian dollars by the way the like Linux bro open source

00:43:58.000 --> 00:44:02.000
there's a thing that isn't libra office there's like

00:44:02.000 --> 00:44:06.000
both of those exist people in chatter saying libra office

00:44:06.000 --> 00:44:10.000
someone said some other thing up above I don't know where I saw it

00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:14.000
I don't remember what it was called but there's like there's lots of options for pdfs

00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:18.000
you can sign pdfs with the free version I think people at work

00:44:18.000 --> 00:44:22.000
have yeah pdf-exchange I've never heard of that

00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:26.000
but a few people are saying that

00:44:26.000 --> 00:44:30.000
it's a pro one I suspect it's for the you can email someone

00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:34.000
the link and then they can sign it digitally in their browser

00:44:34.000 --> 00:44:38.000
and it gets like receipts for everything in both directions and stuff and it's just

00:44:38.000 --> 00:44:42.000
I will admit it's very professional I would have to guess that that's probably the business

00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:46.000
team that uses that or accounting business accounting HR for

00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:50.000
like getting people hired and signing employee contracts and stuff like that

00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:54.000
yeah 4500 to like seem professional to people

00:44:54.000 --> 00:44:58.000
you do outreach to in those contexts probably it might matter

00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:02.000
probably maybe possibly makes sense I suspect one of the reasons

00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:06.000
why it might be so expensive is we probably have a bunch of dead subscriptions

00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:16.000
because they do they do the seat thing right it's supposed to be good news mind show

00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:20.000
well the good news could be that we might get away from that

00:45:20.000 --> 00:45:24.000
yeah you might maybe possibly save money that's a reach

00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:28.000
that's a reach good news everyone

00:45:28.000 --> 00:45:32.000
another good news okay Dan I

00:45:32.000 --> 00:45:36.000
apologize for what I did before can I please have them back thank you

00:45:36.000 --> 00:45:40.000
alright we're supposed to do the CW announcement

00:46:16.000 --> 00:46:20.000
pop you know what this week's product launch is

00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:24.000
pretty exciting for me personally this is something pretty

00:46:24.000 --> 00:46:28.000
different from what we've done in the past if you love motor sports

00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:32.000
the Moto T is for you I'm gonna

00:46:32.000 --> 00:46:36.000
what are you doing over there you shopping for adobe subscriptions

00:46:36.000 --> 00:46:40.000
I saw I saw those adobe subscriptions

00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:44.000
we're supposed to be going to LTT Store

00:46:44.000 --> 00:46:48.000
this show is such a disaster oh look it's really cool

00:46:48.000 --> 00:46:52.000
if you love motor sports the Moto T is for you

00:46:52.000 --> 00:46:56.000
it's a race inspired jersey but instead of sponsored patches

00:46:56.000 --> 00:47:00.000
they are tech inspired patches and 3d puff prints

00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:04.000
it's designed on a 100% cotton top so it's breathable

00:47:04.000 --> 00:47:08.000
and feels premium and you can get yours at LMG.gg

00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:12.000
slash Moto T

00:47:12.000 --> 00:47:16.000
very very different kind of design from what we've done in the past

00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:20.000
super cool the pink and green is obviously inspired

00:47:20.000 --> 00:47:24.000
by the old Lambo color scheme isn't that cool

00:47:24.000 --> 00:47:28.000
I know right of course you should never ride your motorcycle

00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:32.000
without a layer over top of a cotton T or long sleeve like

00:47:32.000 --> 00:47:36.000
this but hey you can you can still look the part

00:47:36.000 --> 00:47:40.000
when you are not actually on your bike

00:47:40.000 --> 00:47:44.000
is that just actually her bike did they actually bring Natalie's bike into the

00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:48.000
studio it looks like maybe

00:47:48.000 --> 00:47:52.000
that's pretty sick cool okay

00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:56.000
next up is uh that's a great

00:47:56.000 --> 00:48:00.000
shot sweet next up is the shirt that Luke is wearing

00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:04.000

00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:08.000
sir ability to can

00:48:08.000 --> 00:48:12.000
he disappears whenever something really ridiculous happens

00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:16.000
and I can't anymore or I lose my ability to can

00:48:16.000 --> 00:48:20.000
he's super cute it's a it's bleach printed so it has kind of

00:48:20.000 --> 00:48:24.000
this vintage washed look and is very crack resistant

00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:28.000
and you can get yours at LMG.gg slash ability

there you go missing sir ability

00:48:36.000 --> 00:48:40.000
to can it's a bird don't worry about it it's more of just like

00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:44.000
a WAN Show inside joke but it's also kind of a fun shirt design

00:48:44.000 --> 00:48:48.000
pay line is for making puns pretty much I mean

00:48:48.000 --> 00:48:52.000
yeah I mean it wouldn't be the first time last but not least for those

00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:56.000
who just want something basic we have our blank baseball cap

00:48:56.000 --> 00:49:00.000
it's the same design as our LTT had is adjustable doesn't

00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:04.000
have the top smarty or button whatever you want to call it

00:49:04.000 --> 00:49:08.000
see are you gonna he's gonna bring it up he's working on it he's working on it

00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:12.000

is coming into the LTT Store with creator warehouse branding

00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:44.000
that could ultimately hey if you're another creator out there and you're looking for

00:49:44.000 --> 00:49:48.000
branded apparel opportunities be rebranded to

00:49:48.000 --> 00:49:52.000
something else ooh interesting

00:49:52.000 --> 00:49:56.000
Anywho if you're looking for a good reason to

00:49:56.000 --> 00:50:00.000
send in an order to LTT Store as always the best way

00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:04.000
to do so is to wait when we're live

00:50:04.000 --> 00:50:08.000
oh man my brain is so fried today um when we're live go to the

00:50:08.000 --> 00:50:12.000
store go to a product find the one you want click add

00:50:12.000 --> 00:50:16.000
to cart then this little thing will show up this is the easiest way to do it but you could also

00:50:16.000 --> 00:50:20.000
just click on this and then this box will be here probably

00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:24.000
looking like that and you can click this little check box and be like oh I want

00:50:24.000 --> 00:50:28.000
to say something you can make a name anonymous or not and then you can be like

00:50:28.000 --> 00:50:32.000
whoa car shirt cool

or reply to it or he will curate it for me and Luke to respond to

00:51:04.000 --> 00:51:08.000

00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:24.000
large message yeah I know you're not saying anything because you're

00:51:24.000 --> 00:51:28.000
in the same room as me Dan am I allowed to say things yet

00:51:28.000 --> 00:51:32.000
yes of course fine hey LLD but mostly

00:51:32.000 --> 00:51:36.000
Luke everyone else can answer I guess what is your favorite

00:51:36.000 --> 00:51:40.000
version of boy kibble simple carb plus high protein

00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:44.000
other than just chicken and rice oh well

00:51:44.000 --> 00:51:48.000
actual actual kibble I know I know people

00:51:48.000 --> 00:51:52.000
go really hard they'll make they'll make like a like ground beef

00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:56.000
mixed with like egg and

00:51:56.000 --> 00:52:00.000
maybe some maybe some spice and that'll be like

00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:04.000
the predominant portion of their meals for a week they'll just make one big

00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:08.000
trough of like meat

00:52:08.000 --> 00:52:12.000
something I've been going for lately is sticking with the

00:52:12.000 --> 00:52:16.000
chicken or really or potentially

00:52:16.000 --> 00:52:20.000
having steak instead but try to make that more rare I find

00:52:20.000 --> 00:52:24.000
cook it less oh my god I did I didn't mean

00:52:24.000 --> 00:52:28.000
that but you know don't overcook me whatever you don't make the chicken rare

00:52:28.000 --> 00:52:32.000
yeah I don't do that but then I've been mixing

00:52:32.000 --> 00:52:36.000
the the other things up so go for like a sweet potato instead

00:52:36.000 --> 00:52:40.000
of rice or or instead of broccoli do like cauliflower

00:52:40.000 --> 00:52:44.000
or spinach or kale or something else

00:52:44.000 --> 00:52:48.000
and just keep changing things up a little bit

00:52:48.000 --> 00:52:52.000
I have heard that if you just eat the same thing all the time

00:52:52.000 --> 00:52:56.000
and it's really boring that it can act as an appetite

00:52:56.000 --> 00:53:00.000
suppressant so if you're trying to lose weight maybe that works

00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:04.000
maybe it doesn't I don't know contrary to what I said earlier

00:53:04.000 --> 00:53:08.000
in the show not a scientist not a doctor but yeah I've been

00:53:08.000 --> 00:53:12.000
I've been mixing up the the carbs that are included basically

00:53:12.000 --> 00:53:16.000
but keeping the proteins pretty basic

00:53:16.000 --> 00:53:20.000
yeah yeah

00:53:20.000 --> 00:53:24.000
hopefully that's an answer. Nipolas Cage in Floatplane chat asked us to make

00:53:24.000 --> 00:53:28.000
the hat that Jay wears in Jay and Silent Bob it's a baseball cap without

00:53:28.000 --> 00:53:32.000
a brim and literally no one sells one sell me one

00:53:32.000 --> 00:53:36.000
are you sure are you sure we need this

00:53:36.000 --> 00:53:40.000
wait really there's no brim yeah I never noticed

00:53:40.000 --> 00:53:44.000
it I think I always just thought it was on backwards

00:53:44.000 --> 00:53:48.000
yeah no this is the seat of the this is the car seat behind him

00:53:48.000 --> 00:53:52.000
there's no brim on it how did I never notice that

00:53:52.000 --> 00:53:56.000
oh my god

00:53:56.000 --> 00:54:00.000
that's just a beanie say people I thought

00:54:00.000 --> 00:54:04.000
this is what Americans call a beanie yeah like

00:54:04.000 --> 00:54:08.000
this is a baseball cap line things in it

00:54:08.000 --> 00:54:12.000
without a brim it has the seams and everything. Scrappy DP says we do

00:54:12.000 --> 00:54:16.000
not want that I don't think anyone

00:54:16.000 --> 00:54:20.000
does

00:54:20.000 --> 00:54:24.000
we want a double brim hat too says Minji no you don't you are

00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:28.000
so lying you do not want a double brim hat

00:54:28.000 --> 00:54:32.000
that is not a thing you want alright Dan hit us with another checkout message

00:54:32.000 --> 00:54:36.000
hey LLND for the same price oh my god hold on there's a

00:54:36.000 --> 00:54:40.000
full company that sells them of course there is no brim

00:54:40.000 --> 00:54:44.000
co oh my god

00:54:44.000 --> 00:54:48.000
that kind of has a brim though it really does yeah it has a full

00:54:48.000 --> 00:54:52.000
brim do they sell this squeezy jibs one original no brim brimless

00:54:52.000 --> 00:54:56.000
hats what about the long brim I saw a long brim on there

00:54:56.000 --> 00:55:00.000
wait long brim that was somewhere what

00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:04.000
I think you made it up might have been the previous

00:55:04.000 --> 00:55:08.000
one I think you're a liar

00:55:08.000 --> 00:55:12.000
that's funky speaking of funky hats

00:55:12.000 --> 00:55:16.000
I searched for double brim trying to find what I think

00:55:16.000 --> 00:55:20.000
obviously would have been one in the front and one in the back

00:55:20.000 --> 00:55:24.000
but instead I found this that's the one I saw it on your

00:55:24.000 --> 00:55:28.000
screen super brim dude

00:55:28.000 --> 00:55:32.000
I love how the dude wearing the hat just looks completely normal

00:55:32.000 --> 00:55:36.000
I don't think that's this hat there's no way that that's this hat

00:55:36.000 --> 00:55:40.000
I was actually working on my notes

00:55:40.000 --> 00:55:44.000
for the megane x8k

00:55:44.000 --> 00:55:48.000
VR headset and

00:55:48.000 --> 00:55:52.000
I know it's one of those things that doesn't really affect

00:55:52.000 --> 00:55:56.000
your ability to make a good quality product but

00:55:56.000 --> 00:56:00.000
bad or not even necessarily bad but like clearly

00:56:00.000 --> 00:56:04.000
fake product photography just really puts me off of

00:56:04.000 --> 00:56:08.000
something and this is a classic

00:56:08.000 --> 00:56:12.000
example where is she

00:56:12.000 --> 00:56:16.000
where'd she go dang it

00:56:16.000 --> 00:56:20.000
okay well oh here she is

00:56:20.000 --> 00:56:24.000
she is not wearing that headset

00:56:24.000 --> 00:56:28.000
at all like

00:56:28.000 --> 00:56:32.000
this

00:56:32.000 --> 00:56:36.000
somebody tried a little bit though this is the fakest she's not wearing the headset

00:56:36.000 --> 00:56:40.000
this is not even a picture this is a render of the headset

00:56:40.000 --> 00:56:44.000
on her face and it gets worse they put a little shadow on there

00:56:44.000 --> 00:56:48.000
oh no here it is

00:56:48.000 --> 00:56:52.000
this is the exact same photo you can tell from the pixels

00:56:52.000 --> 00:56:56.000
of the hair that this is exactly the same photo

00:56:56.000 --> 00:57:00.000
you can see it in like the little flyaways and stuff

00:57:00.000 --> 00:57:04.000
he's a pixel scientist that it's the same picture

00:57:04.000 --> 00:57:08.000
and here's the same picture three times

00:57:08.000 --> 00:57:12.000
three times the same picture on one page

00:57:12.000 --> 00:57:16.000
two more times the same picture

00:57:16.000 --> 00:57:20.000
come on man

00:57:20.000 --> 00:57:24.000
it feels so low quality

00:57:24.000 --> 00:57:28.000
I don't like that

00:57:28.000 --> 00:57:32.000
I haven't actually tried the product yet so don't take this as a judgment on the

00:57:32.000 --> 00:57:36.000
quality of the product itself it just the quality of the product page

00:57:36.000 --> 00:57:40.000
though the quality of the product page is not great

00:57:40.000 --> 00:57:44.000
anyway in other news I had to go to AliExpress

00:57:44.000 --> 00:57:48.000
but I did find a double brimmed hat and it is exactly as amazing as

00:57:48.000 --> 00:57:52.000
I hoped yo inspector line

00:57:52.000 --> 00:57:56.000
should we do one of these inspector line

00:57:56.000 --> 00:58:00.000
you could wear that in your next secret shopper or something

00:58:00.000 --> 00:58:04.000
sorry Mr. Bester do you want to hit us with another check up message

00:58:04.000 --> 00:58:08.000
hey LLND for the same price it could get a 77 inch

00:58:08.000 --> 00:58:12.000
Samsung QLED mini LED

00:58:12.000 --> 00:58:16.000
what would you do bigger or OLED

00:58:16.000 --> 00:58:20.000
this is a tough one

00:58:20.000 --> 00:58:24.000
Samsung has a lot of QLED TVs

00:58:24.000 --> 00:58:28.000
and there is a wide range of quality depending on

00:58:28.000 --> 00:58:32.000
how many local dimming zones they have and how bright they are

00:58:32.000 --> 00:58:36.000
with that said

00:58:36.000 --> 00:58:40.000
at the same price I could have a 77 inch or a 100 inch TV

00:58:40.000 --> 00:58:44.000
it depends a little bit on the space

00:58:44.000 --> 00:58:48.000
if you have a smaller room and just

00:58:48.000 --> 00:58:52.000
sitting farther is not an option anyway

00:58:52.000 --> 00:58:56.000
the C5 OLED is going to give you a better picture

00:58:56.000 --> 00:59:00.000
it is going to give you a poppier punchier

00:59:00.000 --> 00:59:04.000
more exciting picture

00:59:04.000 --> 00:59:08.000
however if you are in a large space

00:59:08.000 --> 00:59:12.000
and you want to have a big group the bigger the TV

00:59:12.000 --> 00:59:16.000
the wider you can spread your couches and chairs the more you can have people

00:59:16.000 --> 00:59:20.000
kind of spread out and eating snacks over there and whatever the more people

00:59:20.000 --> 00:59:24.000
you can kind of gather around it and even if you have a smaller

00:59:24.000 --> 00:59:28.000
room the more immersive the image is going to feel

00:59:28.000 --> 00:59:32.000
if it was me and I guess

00:59:32.000 --> 00:59:36.000
it is I would choose the larger display

00:59:36.000 --> 00:59:40.000
over the OLED in my theater room I could have

00:59:40.000 --> 00:59:44.000
if I really wanted a 97 inch OLED

00:59:44.000 --> 00:59:48.000
then not to instead I have a 115 inch

00:59:48.000 --> 00:59:52.000
mini LED so that is what I would choose

00:59:52.000 --> 00:59:56.000
however if for whatever reason the size of my

01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:04.000
at least that is the case today with RGB backlighting

01:00:04.000 --> 01:00:08.000
coming that is the one I am more excited about but it sounds

01:00:08.000 --> 01:00:12.000
like you are getting a deal on a last gen TV so that is not going to be

01:00:12.000 --> 01:00:16.000
necessarily relevant to your purchasing decision anyway

01:00:16.000 --> 01:00:20.000
I hope that helped I didn't really give you an answer but

01:00:20.000 --> 01:00:24.000
cool what would you do you do smaller

01:00:24.000 --> 01:00:28.000
OLED I would think right probably that is what you did yeah so it is not even hypothetical

01:00:28.000 --> 01:00:32.000
I went bigger TV he went smaller OLED

01:00:32.000 --> 01:00:36.000
I also have less

01:00:36.000 --> 01:00:40.000
viewing distance I guess like

01:00:40.000 --> 01:00:44.000
you know shotgun apartment hallway room things

01:00:44.000 --> 01:00:48.000
and you just have like standard couch position standard TV

01:00:48.000 --> 01:00:52.000
position the throw distance is really not that crazy

01:00:52.000 --> 01:00:56.000
high so I would rather just a way better picture 100 inch would be a little bit ridiculous

01:00:56.000 --> 01:01:00.000
at that seating I think so yeah so I would rather just have a better picture

01:01:00.000 --> 01:01:04.000
Genesis 8925 says if money wasn't a problem

01:01:04.000 --> 01:01:08.000
projector but man I have a really hard time getting

01:01:08.000 --> 01:01:12.000
behind that like the the wife acceptance factor of a

01:01:12.000 --> 01:01:16.000
projector just from my experience seems to be

01:01:16.000 --> 01:01:20.000
much smaller and I don't know what it is

01:01:20.000 --> 01:01:24.000
but it's like they don't look good

01:01:24.000 --> 01:01:28.000
yeah I mean they can but there's so many other things you have to

01:01:28.000 --> 01:01:32.000
align that the wife acceptance factor starts to

01:01:32.000 --> 01:01:36.000
decay and then the second someone gets up to go get popcorn in the middle

01:01:36.000 --> 01:01:40.000
thing and there's a they interrupt the image or you have to tell your young

01:01:40.000 --> 01:01:44.000
kids hey that's a laser projector don't look into the lens and you know there's

01:01:44.000 --> 01:01:48.000
like eye safety concerns and then you accidentally

01:01:48.000 --> 01:01:52.000
leave a door open and so there's like a weird kind of like bright

01:01:52.000 --> 01:01:56.000
spot across half of it where the shadow of the couch covers it like it's just

01:01:56.000 --> 01:02:00.000
it's not as friendly and there's something just

01:02:00.000 --> 01:02:04.000
kind of intuitive about the TV

01:02:04.000 --> 01:02:08.000
seeing the thing you like press a button on an emergency if you forget versus like

01:02:08.000 --> 01:02:12.000
going to the back of the room and like pressing a thing on the ceiling if the remote

01:02:12.000 --> 01:02:16.000
has the batteries dead or whatever like it there's just so many little

01:02:16.000 --> 01:02:20.000
things about a projector that are more you know

01:02:20.000 --> 01:02:24.000
bearded dude and less family friendly

01:02:24.000 --> 01:02:28.000
no offense Dan

01:02:28.000 --> 01:02:32.000
I painted my wall just an entire the entire wall

01:02:32.000 --> 01:02:36.000
gray you've seen it there's no wife factor there

01:02:36.000 --> 01:02:40.000
you also can't go anywhere near it or put anything in front of it or touch it ever where it's ruined

01:02:40.000 --> 01:02:44.000
get a TV

01:02:44.000 --> 01:02:48.000
yeah that's what I'm talking about get an OLED she'll like the colors

01:02:48.000 --> 01:02:52.000
yeah she probably won't care

01:02:52.000 --> 01:02:56.000
she likes the colors okay

01:02:56.000 --> 01:03:00.000
mine doesn't care it's whatever is in the most

01:03:00.000 --> 01:03:04.000
I know exactly where

01:03:04.000 --> 01:03:08.000
he's going she will be in the family

01:03:08.000 --> 01:03:12.000
room where there is an OLED TV

01:03:12.000 --> 01:03:16.000
and she'll be like doing

01:03:16.000 --> 01:03:20.000
yoga on a mat or something and she will be watching

01:03:20.000 --> 01:03:24.000
on her phone and I'm just like

01:03:24.000 --> 01:03:28.000
really

01:03:28.000 --> 01:03:32.000
oh

01:03:32.000 --> 01:03:36.000
um

01:03:36.000 --> 01:03:40.000
anyway

01:03:40.000 --> 01:03:44.000
let's talk about Apple launching

01:03:44.000 --> 01:03:48.000
after giving up significant education

01:03:48.000 --> 01:03:52.000
sector ground in recent years decades question mark says our notes

01:03:52.000 --> 01:03:56.000
Apple appears to be making a new push to engage potential users

01:03:56.000 --> 01:04:00.000
as early as possible with Apple education

01:04:00.000 --> 01:04:04.000
redesigned landing page highlights the benefits of various Apple hardware and software

01:04:04.000 --> 01:04:08.000
for lifelong learning starting with low cost iPads and MacBook

01:04:08.000 --> 01:04:12.000
neos and errors for the K to 12 crowd and then moves up through the product line

01:04:12.000 --> 01:04:16.000
for college and postgraduate studies with all the essential productivity and specialty

01:04:16.000 --> 01:04:20.000
apps for your field the site also offers special Apple care

01:04:20.000 --> 01:04:24.000
packages and flexible financing for educational institutions and that's

01:04:24.000 --> 01:04:28.000
that right there is the big one and when it comes to

01:04:28.000 --> 01:04:32.000
hooking them young I mean I have talked for

01:04:32.000 --> 01:04:36.000
ever about how Apple like

01:04:36.000 --> 01:04:40.000
allowing Chromebooks to become a thing and it looks like they finally

01:04:40.000 --> 01:04:44.000
figured it out and they are making a concentrated effort to just

01:04:44.000 --> 01:04:48.000
un Chromebook the world and

01:04:48.000 --> 01:04:52.000
I think these stop on Chromebooks oh dude

01:04:52.000 --> 01:04:56.000
I've been daily not close I think I've been daily in the Neo for

01:04:56.000 --> 01:05:00.000
over two weeks now I think I can't remember the time

01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:04.000
but basically it's not bothering me I feel like you would remember the time if you hated it

01:05:04.000 --> 01:05:08.000
yes because you'd be like counting it's the same thing as

01:05:08.000 --> 01:05:12.000
this Linux challenge compared to the last one yep the last one we're all checking in with each other

01:05:12.000 --> 01:05:16.000
and how many days were left and this one I think the timer passed and no one cared

01:05:16.000 --> 01:05:20.000
yeah yep Apple also

01:05:20.000 --> 01:05:24.000
like Google with their Chromebooks seems well positioned to keep

01:05:24.000 --> 01:05:28.000
users in their ecosystem after schools out with a redesigned

01:05:28.000 --> 01:05:32.000
Apple business landing page that launched about a month ago

01:05:32.000 --> 01:05:36.000
so our discussion question here is did Apple make the right call in seemingly

01:05:36.000 --> 01:05:40.000
abandoning the education market after the eMac and I mean I think

01:05:40.000 --> 01:05:44.000
I've made my position on this very clear over the years no absolutely not that was

01:05:44.000 --> 01:05:48.000
entirely the wrong call Apple went from being the only

01:05:48.000 --> 01:05:52.000
computers in one of the like elementary

01:05:52.000 --> 01:05:56.000
schools that I attended to be basically becoming utterly irrelevant

01:05:56.000 --> 01:06:00.000
in schools in a span of like what five years ten years

01:06:00.000 --> 01:06:04.000
something like that almost nothing it was just it was just all PC and then it was

01:06:04.000 --> 01:06:08.000
all Chromebook and Apple became

01:06:08.000 --> 01:06:12.000
just a complete non-player outside of from my understanding

01:06:12.000 --> 01:06:16.000
very affluent educational

01:06:16.000 --> 01:06:20.000
organizations but now man

01:06:20.000 --> 01:06:24.000
this thing this thing changes everything

01:06:24.000 --> 01:06:28.000
because an iPad is only useful for certain stuff

01:06:28.000 --> 01:06:32.000
for a lot of things I'm sorry but you just plain need a keyboard

01:06:32.000 --> 01:06:36.000
what is the difference right now between a Neo and an iPad with a keyboard

01:06:36.000 --> 01:06:40.000
um the fact that it's running

01:06:40.000 --> 01:06:44.000
proper desktop software to me is a big one just in the

01:06:44.000 --> 01:06:48.000
the day to day usability of the device or did you

01:06:48.000 --> 01:06:52.000
mean in terms of price no yeah that that to me is the

01:06:52.000 --> 01:06:56.000
big one the fact that I'm not just limited to iPad OS

01:06:56.000 --> 01:07:00.000
apps and I can run any software that I want on it because

01:07:00.000 --> 01:07:04.000
there's just I mean it's inherent to the app store model

01:07:04.000 --> 01:07:08.000
that these apps are designed to be

01:07:08.000 --> 01:07:12.000
less open you know Apple dictates what's in the app store

01:07:12.000 --> 01:07:16.000
take a cut out of everything that's in the app store which you know

01:07:16.000 --> 01:07:20.000
whether you believe that that's a monopolistic practice from them or not

01:07:20.000 --> 01:07:24.000
is a tax on the developer's ability to operate

01:07:24.000 --> 01:07:28.000
within that ecosystem there's just there's things about it that are just plain

01:07:28.000 --> 01:07:32.000
not as budget friendly and not as user friendly

01:07:32.000 --> 01:07:36.000
I find it interesting how open they are

01:07:36.000 --> 01:07:40.000
surprising price yeah it's like yeah it is a surprising price from you

01:07:40.000 --> 01:07:44.000
yeah it's also a surprising price for just the general quality of the laptop

01:07:44.000 --> 01:07:48.000
but do you think this is Tim Cook wanting to like go off on a high note

01:07:48.000 --> 01:07:52.000
like there's been a lot of discussion has been a lot around his legacy

01:07:52.000 --> 01:07:56.000
over the last couple years because he's getting close to probably retiring like hasn't

01:07:56.000 --> 01:08:00.000
even been pretty open about I think so yeah and so

01:08:00.000 --> 01:08:04.000
it's just it's been this open conversation like what is Tim Cook's legacy because

01:08:04.000 --> 01:08:08.000
it I mean I'm sure he would love if it were not

01:08:08.000 --> 01:08:12.000
the Apple Vision Pro right and you look at

01:08:12.000 --> 01:08:16.000
like there's a lot of things that he has undeniably done

01:08:16.000 --> 01:08:20.000
incredibly well Apple is a logistics monster

01:08:20.000 --> 01:08:24.000
the way that they the way that they handle messaging and their launches

01:08:24.000 --> 01:08:28.000
is perhaps unparalleled

01:08:28.000 --> 01:08:32.000
there's just so good at it but what product

01:08:32.000 --> 01:08:36.000
did Tim Cook

01:08:36.000 --> 01:08:40.000
because even AirPods was before his time was it not

01:08:40.000 --> 01:08:44.000
actually maybe not I think EarPods might have been before his time but

01:08:44.000 --> 01:08:48.000
I don't think AirPods were no I think you might be right

01:08:48.000 --> 01:08:52.000
Tim Cook was

01:08:52.000 --> 01:08:56.000
AirPods was well after he made the thing that kind of murdered the entire audio industry

01:08:56.000 --> 01:09:00.000
which is pretty impressive so that was relatively early on

01:09:00.000 --> 01:09:04.000
in his tenure and then towards the end

01:09:04.000 --> 01:09:08.000
is the creation of the laptop computer that basically murders the entire

01:09:08.000 --> 01:09:12.000
entry level business and education laptop

01:09:12.000 --> 01:09:16.000
segment from everyone else I also think there's an angle which is

01:09:16.000 --> 01:09:20.000
what a punctuation mark to put on your career Apple spent a really long time

01:09:20.000 --> 01:09:24.000
basically fighting with chip manufacturers

01:09:24.000 --> 01:09:28.000
like they got in this huge war with NVIDIA they got in a

01:09:28.000 --> 01:09:32.000
bit of a tiff with Intel a bit of a yeah like they

01:09:32.000 --> 01:09:36.000
are not being very friendly with chip manufacturers

01:09:36.000 --> 01:09:40.000
they came up with the M series chips those chips are just

01:09:40.000 --> 01:09:44.000
smashing everything their fire how do they pipeline

01:09:44.000 --> 01:09:48.000
people into their like okay we figured out bailing on the other

01:09:48.000 --> 01:09:52.000
chip manufacturers now but the pipeline into max is not

01:09:52.000 --> 01:09:56.000
necessarily the easiest and it's not exactly the cheapest so how do we get people

01:09:56.000 --> 01:10:00.000
kind of re interested in max we've we own the world of audio

01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:04.000
we own the world of phones well the North American world of

01:10:04.000 --> 01:10:08.000
phones but yeah yeah we own the world of spending

01:10:08.000 --> 01:10:12.000
money on lots of phones you know what's really

01:10:12.000 --> 01:10:16.000
interesting to me though is like what will Apple take

01:10:16.000 --> 01:10:20.000
away from this lesson will they take away

01:10:20.000 --> 01:10:24.000
oh we could have charged more for the Neo and will they go back for higher

01:10:24.000 --> 01:10:28.000
margins or will they take away

01:10:28.000 --> 01:10:32.000
holy crap we have been leaving so much volume on the table

01:10:32.000 --> 01:10:36.000
by pricing things out of reach of normal

01:10:36.000 --> 01:10:40.000
ordinary people and do we get like a really aggressive

01:10:40.000 --> 01:10:44.000
iPhone like do we get like a $400 iPhone

01:10:44.000 --> 01:10:48.000
because if they can build this computer for

01:10:48.000 --> 01:10:52.000
$500 to an educational customer right

01:10:52.000 --> 01:10:56.000
convince me you can build a cheaper

01:10:56.000 --> 01:11:00.000
convince me they couldn't do a $400 iPhone if they really wanted to

01:11:00.000 --> 01:11:04.000
they've got their own silicon for the processor they've got their own silicon for the modem

01:11:04.000 --> 01:11:08.000
now even the Qualcomm tax is she's a hefty tax

01:11:08.000 --> 01:11:12.000
tell me they couldn't do it

01:11:12.000 --> 01:11:16.000
no they absolutely could I think

01:11:16.000 --> 01:11:20.000
this might this might piss some people off I think their gamer move in the future is to

01:11:20.000 --> 01:11:24.000
basically only ever have you know they have two skews for this one they have

01:11:24.000 --> 01:11:28.000
like the higher storage plus touch ID and the lower storage and no touch ID

01:11:28.000 --> 01:11:32.000
I don't think you ever expand beyond that

01:11:32.000 --> 01:11:36.000
oh for this one yeah for the Neo oh yeah Neo tier laptops as like

01:11:36.000 --> 01:11:40.000
there is maybe two options maybe in some generations there is

01:11:40.000 --> 01:11:44.000
one and it's just the cheap

01:11:44.000 --> 01:11:48.000
laptop you can get from Apple and then everything else is you're jumping into M

01:11:48.000 --> 01:11:52.000
chips and it's like performance laptops and I actually I like that they

01:11:52.000 --> 01:11:56.000
gave it a really unique color because it clearly identifies me

01:11:56.000 --> 01:12:00.000
as a scrub who you know but it's a good

01:12:00.000 --> 01:12:04.000
a real Mac still yeah but it still it still looks good it has it

01:12:04.000 --> 01:12:08.000
has its own very clear identity the thing on the bottom is a D brand

01:12:08.000 --> 01:12:12.000
oh yeah that's a deep end skin sorry people know yeah sorry about that so it's this

01:12:12.000 --> 01:12:16.000
looking at the like that's what we're looking at greenish yellow yeah yeah

01:12:16.000 --> 01:12:20.000
yeah so I really like what they did with that I could see them continuing to

01:12:20.000 --> 01:12:24.000
do that that's something that they have done in the past to differentiate otherwise

01:12:24.000 --> 01:12:28.000
very similar looking you can still get it in silver and pro yes

01:12:28.000 --> 01:12:32.000
but I would actually like to see them lean into this I see

01:12:32.000 --> 01:12:36.000
most people that one is the most popular color way I've personally

01:12:36.000 --> 01:12:40.000
seen is like the yellow but I've seen most people get colorful ones

01:12:40.000 --> 01:12:44.000
which I have to say like thanks

01:12:44.000 --> 01:12:48.000
God it's been so boring

01:12:48.000 --> 01:12:52.000
I'm always picking the most boring possible color options for everything and seeing

01:12:52.000 --> 01:12:56.000
a bunch of people get the colorful neos brought some hope

01:12:56.000 --> 01:13:00.000
I think it's like oh wow the world can not just be gray again

01:13:00.000 --> 01:13:04.000
this is great nah don't get your hopes up what it's gonna

01:13:04.000 --> 01:13:08.000
not everyone is full of hopes the only reason Apple can do that is because

01:13:08.000 --> 01:13:12.000
would they sell 8 million of these things high hopes oh

01:13:12.000 --> 01:13:16.000
so Apple so all the others are sold out so you just had to buy

01:13:16.000 --> 01:13:20.000
just mean Apple can afford to do a gray one and a

01:13:20.000 --> 01:13:24.000
yellow one oh no I mean people's selection oh sure I just mean but

01:13:24.000 --> 01:13:28.000
Apple's the only one who has the volume to gamble

01:13:28.000 --> 01:13:32.000
and do a color sure sure because they can even if the color

01:13:32.000 --> 01:13:36.000
bombs and only one in 10 customers selects the color

01:13:36.000 --> 01:13:40.000
one then they are still gonna sell 800,000

01:13:40.000 --> 01:13:44.000
of them yeah so they're fine I hear you I just I think like

01:13:44.000 --> 01:13:48.000
I think you just see people who have a selection of colors

01:13:48.000 --> 01:13:52.000
always going like gray white or black oh yeah and that's just kind of

01:13:52.000 --> 01:13:56.000
boring they're just safe I mean I was I was talking to the creator warehouse team

01:13:56.000 --> 01:14:00.000
about commuter bags I or hey this shirt

01:14:00.000 --> 01:14:04.000
the Lambo shirts so cool here

01:14:04.000 --> 01:14:08.000
so commuter bags it's so sick I've been rocking this

01:14:08.000 --> 01:14:12.000
kind of like olive like tactical green one

01:14:12.000 --> 01:14:16.000
for a little while that I really like yeah and we were just we were talking

01:14:16.000 --> 01:14:20.000
about you know yeah what would what would a future look like

01:14:20.000 --> 01:14:24.000
where we have like a range of colors of bags and we were talking through what the

01:14:24.000 --> 01:14:28.000
minimum order quantities are for each of these colors with fabric sourcing

01:14:28.000 --> 01:14:32.000
and factory time and

01:14:32.000 --> 01:14:36.000
one of the things that Dave brought up is that we have

01:14:36.000 --> 01:14:40.000
access to you know industry trend data and

01:14:40.000 --> 01:14:44.000
basically it becomes kind of like

01:14:44.000 --> 01:14:48.000
like a self perpetuating cycle yep because the

01:14:48.000 --> 01:14:52.000
only thing that actually sells is black

01:14:52.000 --> 01:14:56.000
and gray and then that's the only thing anybody makes

01:14:56.000 --> 01:15:00.000
so then it's the only thing that anybody sells and

01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:04.000
and it's it's a huge financial risk and I think your apple that's why I'm

01:15:04.000 --> 01:15:08.000
saying I just appreciate that people are not just buying just the silver one

01:15:08.000 --> 01:15:12.000
is like the more you make it so that people don't just buy only

01:15:12.000 --> 01:15:16.000
ever just the black one it's like oh sweet okay we can

01:15:16.000 --> 01:15:20.000
actually have more colors of things in the world again and like okay

01:15:20.000 --> 01:15:24.000
uh or rook in Floatplane chat says I would

01:15:24.000 --> 01:15:28.000
totally get a pink backpack but it's tough because

01:15:28.000 --> 01:15:32.000
we sell like 10 of them back when back when steel series

01:15:32.000 --> 01:15:36.000
let me see if I can find steel series did like a pink

01:15:36.000 --> 01:15:40.000
watch attacks has more success with this I would say

01:15:40.000 --> 01:15:44.000
yeah yeah I just the reason I brought up steel series is just because they did it a very

01:15:44.000 --> 01:15:48.000
long time ago before everyone else did it yeah true and I can't

01:15:48.000 --> 01:15:52.000
find it um probably because it didn't sell like

01:15:52.000 --> 01:15:56.000
2010 yeah it was it was really old and

01:15:56.000 --> 01:16:00.000
I remember I either was the product manager or I sat next to the product

01:16:00.000 --> 01:16:04.000
manager for it and it was an unmitigated disaster

01:16:04.000 --> 01:16:08.000
we sold like three of them or something like that and then we had to liquidate the rest of them

01:16:08.000 --> 01:16:12.000
that has changed to a degree right to your point things are

01:16:12.000 --> 01:16:16.000
a little different now and logitech seems to have done better with it

01:16:16.000 --> 01:16:20.000
I think logitech has also succeeded in like it's not just hot pink

01:16:20.000 --> 01:16:24.000
like they'll they'll do colors like this

01:16:24.000 --> 01:16:28.000
or like it's a it's a nice like soft purple that you don't have to

01:16:28.000 --> 01:16:32.000
like they call this one heartbreaker and it's the pink one but it's not just like

01:16:32.000 --> 01:16:36.000
glowing hot pink either like I think they played with the colors

01:16:36.000 --> 01:16:40.000
a little bit more I hate though that to be a trendy girl who uses a

01:16:40.000 --> 01:16:44.000
computer you can only have a fantastic mouse

01:16:44.000 --> 01:16:48.000
no this is just the first one I clicked on oh I'm pretty sure there's there's a like I just

01:16:48.000 --> 01:16:52.000
was scrolling down and so they have like a high performance mouse like that

01:16:52.000 --> 01:16:56.000
okay I probably have to go watch that G hold on

01:16:56.000 --> 01:17:00.000
yeah I think it's like a different site yeah

01:17:00.000 --> 01:17:04.000
I think they do have some pretty cool color ways

01:17:04.000 --> 01:17:08.000
the super strike I'm pretty sure is just black and grey

01:17:08.000 --> 01:17:12.000
oh my god go away

01:17:12.000 --> 01:17:16.000
magenta that's a pretty aggressive pink

01:17:16.000 --> 01:17:20.000
I found the thing that I was thinking of

01:17:20.000 --> 01:17:24.000
I didn't find the mouse but I did find the mouse pad so

01:17:24.000 --> 01:17:28.000
steel series had their iron lady brand

01:17:28.000 --> 01:17:32.000
which was that's pretty rough pretty cringe that is pretty rough

01:17:32.000 --> 01:17:35.000
it was pretty cringe that's what I mean though is like these

01:17:35.000 --> 01:17:39.000
logitech ones not to glaze logitech too hard but the logitech ones like

01:17:39.000 --> 01:17:43.000
kind of look nice and they don't say iron lady on them

01:17:43.000 --> 01:17:47.000
which here we go I found it I found it

01:17:47.000 --> 01:17:51.000
there it is the iron lady gaming mouse

01:17:51.000 --> 01:17:55.000
yeah see that's hurry that's kind of yikes and then look at this

01:17:55.000 --> 01:17:58.000
this is the one I was actually talking about the G203 pretty good mouse

01:17:58.000 --> 01:18:02.000
lilac that's actually looks nice that's pretty cute

01:18:02.000 --> 01:18:06.000
okay cool

01:18:06.000 --> 01:18:10.000
anyways it's time to talk about our

01:18:10.000 --> 01:18:14.000
Floatplane announcements Linus try to guess what this means

01:18:14.000 --> 01:18:18.000
Dan show the free shipping

01:18:18.000 --> 01:18:22.000
yeah that's pretty obvious

01:18:22.000 --> 01:18:26.000
don't don't don't don't applaud me for being

01:18:26.000 --> 01:18:30.000
good job Linus

01:18:30.000 --> 01:18:34.000
he did it he's our good boy

01:18:34.000 --> 01:18:38.000
for next week oh man it okay

01:18:38.000 --> 01:18:42.000
how ridiculous is it that like a few months

01:18:42.000 --> 01:18:46.000
ago I was talking to the creator warehouse team and we were discussing like

01:18:46.000 --> 01:18:50.000
our sale calendar for the year and we had decided that after the

01:18:50.000 --> 01:18:54.000
success of our shipstorm sale event last year that we should

01:18:54.000 --> 01:18:58.000
we should do a repeat of it we should do a shipstorm sale event

01:18:58.000 --> 01:19:02.000
and we were like talking about it and we're like well yeah but

01:19:02.000 --> 01:19:06.000
you know that whole thing was precipitated by

01:19:06.000 --> 01:19:10.000
you know the actions of a certain one of you know

01:19:10.000 --> 01:19:14.000
the country leaders so is this one hold on

01:19:14.000 --> 01:19:18.000
story spoiled

01:19:18.000 --> 01:19:22.000
so anyway it's they're all they're all gen zers

01:19:22.000 --> 01:19:26.000
gen alphas whatever they don't have time they already know where the story is going

01:19:26.000 --> 01:19:30.000
I'm just helping so we decided to do

01:19:30.000 --> 01:19:34.000
a shipstorm sale event on the anniversary of the first shipstorm

01:19:34.000 --> 01:19:38.000
we had no idea that the certain world

01:19:38.000 --> 01:19:42.000
leader was going to do a thing again that was going to completely

01:19:42.000 --> 01:19:46.000
global logistics again you probably could rely on it I guess

01:19:46.000 --> 01:19:50.000
did so anyway the shipstorm sale event

01:19:50.000 --> 01:19:54.000
is coming back and we have something very excited for

01:19:54.000 --> 01:19:58.000
our Floatplane supporters everyone on Floatplane

01:19:58.000 --> 01:20:02.000
will be getting their usual 24 hour early access to

01:20:02.000 --> 01:20:06.000
the event and additionally LTT supporter plus

01:20:06.000 --> 01:20:10.000
tier subs will have a $50 lower threshold

01:20:10.000 --> 01:20:14.000
to get free shipping for their entire order worldwide

01:20:14.000 --> 01:20:18.000
so that's 13 bucks to save

01:20:18.000 --> 01:20:22.000
not spending $50 more but

01:20:22.000 --> 01:20:26.000
still qualifying for free shipping that's awesome but that's not all

01:20:26.000 --> 01:20:30.000
LTT supporter plus tier subscribers on Floatplane will continue

01:20:30.000 --> 01:20:34.000
to have free shipping on LTT Store

01:20:34.000 --> 01:20:38.000
if the minimum spend threshold is met even after shipstorm is over I'm going to say

01:20:38.000 --> 01:20:42.000
for some time I am not

01:20:42.000 --> 01:20:46.000
walking into that forever I don't know who wrote this

01:20:46.000 --> 01:20:50.000
thing in my notes but I'm putting an asterisk here

01:20:50.000 --> 01:20:54.000
for some period of time TBD

01:20:54.000 --> 01:20:58.000
Luke how are we making money off this I don't know I warned that it

01:20:58.000 --> 01:21:02.000
might be a problem okay cool

01:21:02.000 --> 01:21:06.000
anyway when we announced our price increase earlier this year we said we'd make an

01:21:06.000 --> 01:21:10.000
effort to add benefits to our Floatplane subscribers so we're looking to deliver pun intended

01:21:10.000 --> 01:21:14.000
and I guess this is part of it so if you're a frequent shopper on LTTstore.com

01:21:14.000 --> 01:21:18.000
this could be worth considering and you get to watch some amazing Floatplane exclusive videos

01:21:18.000 --> 01:21:22.000
like cutting room floor like the

01:21:22.000 --> 01:21:26.000
heavily divided $20,000

01:21:26.000 --> 01:21:30.000
PC extras and also sometimes early releases

01:21:30.000 --> 01:21:34.000
so I'm just going to go ahead and launch a couple of videos hey guess what

01:21:34.000 --> 01:21:38.000
do you know about this nearly 700 exclusives by the way do I know about

01:21:38.000 --> 01:21:42.000
this no I don't we were sponsored by Red Bull sick sort of

01:21:42.000 --> 01:21:46.000
someone else was sponsored by Red Bull and Red Bull had us build computers for them

01:21:46.000 --> 01:21:50.000
also sick yeah right so that's going live

01:21:50.000 --> 01:21:54.000
Red Bull does cool stuff yeah and then we've also got

01:21:54.000 --> 01:21:58.000
another video that's going live right oh oh oh boy

01:21:58.000 --> 01:22:02.000
this one is going to be a little

01:22:02.000 --> 01:22:06.000
controversial probably and you can watch it early on float

01:22:06.000 --> 01:22:10.000
plane it's going to be the highest

01:22:10.000 --> 01:22:14.000
PC build ever

01:22:14.000 --> 01:22:18.000
okay so you wait what why

01:22:18.000 --> 01:22:22.000
because it's going to be at 40,000 feet no I get it why is it controversial

01:22:22.000 --> 01:22:26.000
seriously have you not been following the smoking drugs the community drama

01:22:26.000 --> 01:22:30.000
over the last couple of weeks oh because it's in your plane

01:22:30.000 --> 01:22:34.000
because it's in Linus Media Group Incorporated's plane yes who owns that company

01:22:34.000 --> 01:22:38.000
me so it's in your plane well it's okay

01:22:38.000 --> 01:22:42.000
you know better than that I can only use it for work

01:22:42.000 --> 01:22:46.000
unless I like it's a taxable benefit etc etc but

01:22:46.000 --> 01:22:50.000
but yes Elijah came with me on the data center tour to

01:22:50.000 --> 01:22:54.000
equinex in Virginia and this is a small

01:22:54.000 --> 01:22:58.000
small spoiler he forgot the

01:22:58.000 --> 01:23:02.000
case

01:23:02.000 --> 01:23:06.000
he left the case on the ground

01:23:06.000 --> 01:23:10.000
that's pretty funny

01:23:10.000 --> 01:23:14.000
film it on the way so we were supposed to film it on the way

01:23:14.000 --> 01:23:18.000
while we were filming while we were flying during the day and then that was

01:23:18.000 --> 01:23:22.000
supposed to be our work day that day and then we were supposed to sleep

01:23:22.000 --> 01:23:26.000
and then get up super early our time because we're

01:23:26.000 --> 01:23:30.000
three hours ahead now do the data center tour and then

01:23:30.000 --> 01:23:34.000
sleep on the way back but instead

01:23:34.000 --> 01:23:38.000
had to abandon me for the data center tour he had to

01:23:38.000 --> 01:23:42.000
go to micro center by a case and then we had to shoot

01:23:42.000 --> 01:23:46.000
it on the way back did you shoot the whole thing on the way back or did you do part on the way there

01:23:46.000 --> 01:23:50.000
we had to shoot the whole thing on the way back there was like almost nothing we could

01:23:50.000 --> 01:23:54.000
there's almost nothing you can do without a case you put the CPU on the motherboard and like

01:23:54.000 --> 01:23:58.000
put some RAM in and then that's it you're done whereas like the

01:23:58.000 --> 01:24:02.000
computers yeah right

01:24:02.000 --> 01:24:06.000
apparently I told everyone last week well whatever I think it's

01:24:06.000 --> 01:24:10.000
I forgot the detail on if you did part of it on the way there or part of it or

01:24:10.000 --> 01:24:14.000
all of it on the way back anyway the videos out it is

01:24:14.000 --> 01:24:18.000
it is controversy aside an absolute

01:24:18.000 --> 01:24:22.000
banger it is so funny it's just ridiculous you've already been

01:24:22.000 --> 01:24:26.000
like I

01:24:26.000 --> 01:24:30.000
people might not like seeing the plane but

01:24:30.000 --> 01:24:34.000
I mean it's just a computer I don't think it's controversial

01:24:34.000 --> 01:24:38.000
some people you know what there's some there's some people that are upset about it but

01:24:38.000 --> 01:24:42.000
most people seem to be enjoying the window into something that otherwise we would have

01:24:42.000 --> 01:24:46.000
absolutely no access to do you hear about Ford

01:24:46.000 --> 01:24:50.000
I did I did I did

01:24:50.000 --> 01:24:54.000
okay so key difference so we had a politician a Canadian politician

01:24:54.000 --> 01:24:58.000
is in hot water right now for using and this is

01:24:58.000 --> 01:25:02.000
incredibly important taxpayer money yeah to

01:25:02.000 --> 01:25:06.000
acquire a private aircraft way more expensive way more expensive

01:25:06.000 --> 01:25:10.000
private aircraft for and

01:25:10.000 --> 01:25:14.000
reasoning was so funny I didn't see the reason what's the reason he was like

01:25:14.000 --> 01:25:18.000
other people have planes and he pointed

01:25:18.000 --> 01:25:22.000
at like some other politicians that have access to planes and he's like I want one too

01:25:22.000 --> 01:25:26.000
it was so good

01:25:26.000 --> 01:25:30.000
I actually started laughing reading the article

01:25:30.000 --> 01:25:34.000
I think it's something like Quebec has a plane or something he's like they have a plane

01:25:34.000 --> 01:25:38.000
I want a plane too

01:25:38.000 --> 01:25:42.000
it's like really bro right now Canada's on fire

01:25:42.000 --> 01:25:46.000
do you actually need a plane I don't know

01:25:46.000 --> 01:25:50.000
it was funny it was good it was a good time

01:25:50.000 --> 01:25:54.000
and I can I can say with 100%

01:25:54.000 --> 01:25:58.000
certainty that he could have done it on a tighter budget than that

01:25:58.000 --> 01:26:02.000
also the plane that he chose is so unnecessary for what he would be doing

01:26:02.000 --> 01:26:06.000
it's a it's a challenger 650

01:26:06.000 --> 01:26:10.000
I don't know anything about dude he's a provincial politician where is he even going

01:26:10.000 --> 01:26:14.000
opposition leaders dump it the gravy plane

01:26:14.000 --> 01:26:18.000
hahaha

01:26:18.000 --> 01:26:22.000
hold on challenger 650 range this is hilarious

01:26:22.000 --> 01:26:26.000
so the challenger the challenger 650 hold on where's

01:26:26.000 --> 01:26:30.000
guardian jet here we go CL 650 no I don't want the brochure

01:26:30.000 --> 01:26:34.000
online tools range rings here we go okay

01:26:34.000 --> 01:26:38.000
here's our range map so what's an airport so let's say

01:26:38.000 --> 01:26:42.000
Toronto sure whatever mark them it doesn't really matter

01:26:42.000 --> 01:26:46.000
Bombardier uh but but but CL yeah here we go

01:26:46.000 --> 01:26:50.000
CL 650 so this is what this is what you got

01:26:50.000 --> 01:26:54.000
oh shoot I screwed up oh no I screwed up again oh man I'm such

01:26:54.000 --> 01:26:58.000
a bloomer sometimes Toronto seriously come on

01:26:58.000 --> 01:27:02.000
okay so mark them uh yeah here we go check this out

01:27:02.000 --> 01:27:06.000
so CL 650 this is the range of that thing

01:27:06.000 --> 01:27:10.000
okay does a provincial politician

01:27:10.000 --> 01:27:14.000
ever need to fly nonstop to Ecuador

01:27:14.000 --> 01:27:18.000
how often do you think that comes up for context this is

01:27:18.000 --> 01:27:22.000
Ontario yeah the what what I

01:27:22.000 --> 01:27:26.000
read was that he was mostly can be flying within the province of Ontario

01:27:26.000 --> 01:27:30.000
yeah he's a provincial politician sometimes going to the states to deal with tariff stuff

01:27:30.000 --> 01:27:34.000
okay that was like it even that who would he be talking

01:27:34.000 --> 01:27:38.000
to he would be talking to bordering states so like

01:27:38.000 --> 01:27:42.000
here or he'd be talking with you know maybe

01:27:42.000 --> 01:27:46.000
Washington which would be the like whatever

01:27:46.000 --> 01:27:50.000
in here in here somewhere I don't remember exactly there you go or in like DC

01:27:50.000 --> 01:27:54.000
dude he could be on a prop plane and make these flights

01:27:54.000 --> 01:27:58.000
like there's absolutely no reason whatsoever to have a challenger 650

01:27:58.000 --> 01:28:02.000
so here's the uh one sec here is

01:28:02.000 --> 01:28:06.000
the statement issued by Ford's office contrasts the price of Ontario's plane

01:28:06.000 --> 01:28:10.000
to $107 million that says Quebec paid for one used in two new challenges

01:28:10.000 --> 01:28:14.000
650s and 753 million the federal government paid for

01:28:14.000 --> 01:28:18.000
six new global 6500 jets okay I will say this

01:28:18.000 --> 01:28:22.000
um you know if Quebec spent that much that's also ridiculous

01:28:22.000 --> 01:28:26.000
that's that's the only thing that set out to me on that was like oh wait why

01:28:26.000 --> 01:28:30.000
did Quebec spend $107 million on private jets

01:28:30.000 --> 01:28:34.000
I can understand why the federal government needs them

01:28:34.000 --> 01:28:38.000
in terms of like federal statecraft you actually have to travel internationally

01:28:38.000 --> 01:28:42.000
you actually cannot just put your entire

01:28:42.000 --> 01:28:46.000
like cabinet on like a commercial flight to

01:28:46.000 --> 01:28:50.000
you know Madrid and if they have six of them maybe you can borrow one now and then

01:28:50.000 --> 01:28:54.000
or something I doubt it you can charter one from them I doubt it

01:28:54.000 --> 01:28:58.000
I mean I don't see again it comes down to taxation and who actually owns it

01:28:58.000 --> 01:29:02.000
which is where yes the distinction between a person and a corporation or

01:29:02.000 --> 01:29:06.000
one level of government and another level of government actually does matter

01:29:06.000 --> 01:29:10.000
like it does matter in terms of moving funds around and

01:29:10.000 --> 01:29:14.000
who is paying for the wear and tear and how all that's accounted for like it legitimately

01:29:14.000 --> 01:29:18.000
does matter so you can't just be like hey federal

01:29:18.000 --> 01:29:22.000
Canadian government you own this thing therefore I can use it right

01:29:22.000 --> 01:29:26.000
actually doesn't work like that but besides

01:29:26.000 --> 01:29:30.000
you wouldn't need a global what was it a global 6500 or something like that

01:29:30.000 --> 01:29:34.000
that's the federal one yeah you wouldn't need that six new one

01:29:34.000 --> 01:29:38.000
they bought six brand new ones

01:29:38.000 --> 01:29:42.000
I mean

01:29:42.000 --> 01:29:46.000
and they spent 753 million

01:29:46.000 --> 01:29:50.000
I mean they would cost that probably that's the

01:29:50.000 --> 01:29:54.000
that's what brand new ones go for which is why that was never going to happen

01:29:54.000 --> 01:29:58.000
that's why 1990 was a good year for me

01:29:58.000 --> 01:30:02.000
they have they have Rolls Royce Pearl engines

01:30:02.000 --> 01:30:06.000
well that's just common that's not like having a Rolls Royce engine is just like it's a thing

01:30:06.000 --> 01:30:10.000
there's only so many efficiency there's only so many turbofan

01:30:10.000 --> 01:30:14.000
engine manufacturers Honeywell Rolls Royce

01:30:14.000 --> 01:30:18.000
I'm trying to think of who else yeah GE

01:30:18.000 --> 01:30:22.000
thank you Dan at least it's Bombardier so they bought it like from Canada

01:30:22.000 --> 01:30:26.000
yeah I would have loved to go Bombardier instead

01:30:26.000 --> 01:30:30.000
I mean if it's a government purchase you'd kind of hope it's from Canada

01:30:30.000 --> 01:30:34.000
yep I kind of wanted to

01:30:34.000 --> 01:30:38.000
rep Bombardier but it just it didn't make sense

01:30:38.000 --> 01:30:42.000
it didn't make dollars actually it was a lot farther off than not making

01:30:42.000 --> 01:30:46.000
sense it made too many dollars yeah all the all the dollars

01:30:46.000 --> 01:30:50.000
anyway so those videos are up the highest pc build

01:30:50.000 --> 01:30:54.000
is supposed to go up on April 20th lol

01:30:54.000 --> 01:30:57.000
but for people who want to watch it a little early you can head over to LMG.GG

01:30:57.000 --> 01:31:00.000
slash Floatplane you can also get

01:31:00.000 --> 01:31:04.000
free shipping early access and extras LMG.GG

01:31:04.000 --> 01:31:08.000
alright

01:31:08.000 --> 01:31:12.000
we got a couple sponsors for the show today it's brought to you by Zero Bounce

01:31:12.000 --> 01:31:16.000
email marketing is one of the many ways people use to grow their business

01:31:16.000 --> 01:31:20.000
but what happens if your messages are not hitting inboxes

01:31:20.000 --> 01:31:26.000
well nobody sees them well Zero Bounce has the solution they stop the guesswork by offering a bunch of validation tools

01:31:26.000 --> 01:31:30.000
to make sure that your delivery rate stays high and your bounce rate stays low

01:31:30.000 --> 01:31:34.000
all you have to do is punch in an email or upload a whole list and Zero Bounce

01:31:34.000 --> 01:31:38.000
will let you know which ones are worth your time and your money because sending emails

01:31:38.000 --> 01:31:42.000
is not free Zero Bounce says that over 28% of emails go bad

01:31:42.000 --> 01:31:46.000
every year from people changing jobs growing out of accounts or even just creating

01:31:46.000 --> 01:31:50.000
a fake email just to sign up to win an SUV at the mall or whatever the case may be

01:31:50.000 --> 01:31:54.000
that's a lot of wasted potential if you hope to grow your brand

01:31:54.000 --> 01:31:58.000
plus Zero Bounce is SOC2 type 2 certified GDPR compliant

01:31:58.000 --> 01:32:02.000
and because they want to know that your data stays

01:32:02.000 --> 01:32:06.000
they want you to know that your data stays yours period and for fans of the WAN Show

01:32:06.000 --> 01:32:10.000
you can use code 20WAN at the link down below to save 20% for a limited time

01:32:10.000 --> 01:32:14.000
you can also check out this QR code the show is also brought to you by AMD

01:32:14.000 --> 01:32:18.000
another month another spectacular AMD ultimate

01:32:18.000 --> 01:32:22.000
upgrade this time we upgraded Sven from the business team

01:32:22.000 --> 01:32:26.000
thanks to AMD not only did he get some cool stuff for his

01:32:26.000 --> 01:32:30.000
retro gaming hobby but he also got a brand new 9800

01:32:30.000 --> 01:32:34.000
X3D processor for his gaming system you should definitely

01:32:34.000 --> 01:32:38.000
go check out that video after the WAN Show Sven's a chill and charming

01:32:38.000 --> 01:32:42.000
dude the only risk for you is that you might be a

01:32:42.000 --> 01:32:46.000
little bit jealous I was blown away

01:32:46.000 --> 01:32:50.000
by how much cool stuff he has did you watch Sven's video Luke

01:32:50.000 --> 01:32:54.000
I did he has so much cool stuff he does have a lot of cool things

01:32:54.000 --> 01:32:58.000
he has cool CRTs his place looks like it would be fun to hang out in and cool games

01:32:58.000 --> 01:33:02.000
and all the cool consoles and he got a cool new upscale

01:33:02.000 --> 01:33:06.000
also sounds like a good boyfriend he got the retro tank 4k

01:33:06.000 --> 01:33:10.000
for his OLED and like yeah and he took care of the girlfriend

01:33:10.000 --> 01:33:14.000
he got some cool stuff for her who he had already taken like she has a gaming computer

01:33:14.000 --> 01:33:18.000
well that wasn't hooked up to anything but because she doesn't play games

01:33:18.000 --> 01:33:22.000
so he got her a more appropriate device he didn't just get salty about it

01:33:22.000 --> 01:33:26.000
he just got her something that she would appreciate what a good boyfriend

01:33:26.000 --> 01:33:30.000
what a good guy also if you go check out the video

01:33:30.000 --> 01:33:34.000
you're going to want to check out the link in the video description because there's a chance to win your own

01:33:34.000 --> 01:33:38.000
9850 X3D which is the fastest

01:33:38.000 --> 01:33:42.000
gaming CPU on the planet

01:33:42.000 --> 01:33:46.000
big asterisk because hold on a second

01:33:46.000 --> 01:33:50.000
yeah they have officially in...

01:33:50.000 --> 01:33:54.000
I can't remember

01:33:54.000 --> 01:33:58.000
because

01:33:58.000 --> 01:34:02.000
it could be rumored to be something else coming at some point anyway the point is

01:34:02.000 --> 01:34:06.000
as usual AMD has a little bonus question for us

01:34:06.000 --> 01:34:10.000
Luke when it comes to your setup do you prefer running everything on one powerful do-it-all machine

01:34:10.000 --> 01:34:14.000
or do you like to split things up with dedicated systems for like

01:34:14.000 --> 01:34:18.000
gaming content creation server stuff home lab

01:34:18.000 --> 01:34:22.000
I like just running everything on one

01:34:22.000 --> 01:34:26.000
but it's not really the answer and

01:34:26.000 --> 01:34:30.000
as I progress forward I'm going to be splintering into multiple devices

01:34:30.000 --> 01:34:34.000
I see within a year probably having at least

01:34:34.000 --> 01:34:38.000
three at least a hard at least two

01:34:38.000 --> 01:34:42.000
systems but very likely

01:34:42.000 --> 01:34:46.000
three before a year's up I'm kind of delaying right now

01:34:46.000 --> 01:34:50.000
I'm just hoping you're seeing RAM do that

01:34:50.000 --> 01:34:54.000
so I'm trying to hope and I can wait a little bit more and get some cheaper RAM

01:34:54.000 --> 01:34:58.000
but yeah I want to move I have a few services that I have kind of running all the time

01:34:58.000 --> 01:35:02.000
not that many and I want to have a lot more but what's been

01:35:02.000 --> 01:35:06.000
holding me back from having a lot more is that they're all running on the same system and that just kind of sucks

01:35:06.000 --> 01:35:10.000
so yeah so I'm just split off time to have a powerful

01:35:10.000 --> 01:35:14.000
mass that can do a variety of things basically what you shouldn't do necessarily

01:35:14.000 --> 01:35:18.000
is go as far as Mr. Nick Harris

01:35:18.000 --> 01:35:22.000
I was at his house yesterday

01:35:22.000 --> 01:35:26.000
I've seen pictures of his setup Nick

01:35:26.000 --> 01:35:30.000
runs software development for the lab he also just

01:35:30.000 --> 01:35:34.000
is sort of general manager of things for the lab he

01:35:34.000 --> 01:35:38.000
reports to him he also oversees

01:35:38.000 --> 01:35:42.000
mark bench like benchmarking he also just sort of bench he also just

01:35:42.000 --> 01:35:46.000
it's got a new name now but I still call it mark bench deal with it

01:35:46.000 --> 01:35:50.000
he also just kind of like is a voice of reason

01:35:50.000 --> 01:35:54.000
you know when you have a group and you need to have a conversation he's just kind of

01:35:54.000 --> 01:35:58.000
he's a presence is I think the best way that I could describe him because

01:35:58.000 --> 01:36:02.000
having him around is a gift so the point is I was at his house

01:36:02.000 --> 01:36:06.000
yesterday though

01:36:06.000 --> 01:36:10.000
I and I cannot emphasize this enough

01:36:10.000 --> 01:36:14.000
I had difficulty navigating

01:36:14.000 --> 01:36:18.000
his spaces due to the

01:36:18.000 --> 01:36:22.000
unprecedented level that I had here to for never

01:36:22.000 --> 01:36:26.000
seen before of tech clutter

01:36:26.000 --> 01:36:30.000
the in the intro

01:36:30.000 --> 01:36:34.000
I talk of the line is

01:36:34.000 --> 01:36:38.000
how do you upgrade the setup

01:36:38.000 --> 01:36:42.000
of someone who has not one not two not three not four

01:36:42.000 --> 01:36:46.000
not five not six but seven computers and the worst part

01:36:46.000 --> 01:36:50.000
of it is that after we did the intro when I was doing the part where

01:36:50.000 --> 01:36:54.000
I like poke around in people's living spaces and we kind of get to know them a little bit

01:36:54.000 --> 01:36:58.000
I found more computers

01:36:58.000 --> 01:37:02.000
I found was apparently a dedicated machine to run his base pedal

01:37:02.000 --> 01:37:06.000
he literally

01:37:06.000 --> 01:37:10.000
had a dedicated machine for pretty much every function

01:37:10.000 --> 01:37:14.000
was his story and then I found out that actually

01:37:14.000 --> 01:37:18.000
one of them is a proxmox box and he does have

01:37:18.000 --> 01:37:22.000
virtualization running so he's got like more than ten

01:37:22.000 --> 01:37:26.000
dedicated computer functions in this place I just can't fathom it

01:37:26.000 --> 01:37:30.000
but hey that's the kind of person that you want

01:37:30.000 --> 01:37:34.000
in your testing lab

01:37:34.000 --> 01:37:38.000
someone who enjoys the pain of tinkering and troubleshooting and experimenting

01:37:38.000 --> 01:37:42.000
when we were going through the interview process

01:37:42.000 --> 01:37:46.000
in one of our video interviews I kind of

01:37:46.000 --> 01:37:50.000
talked about like you know this was a long time ago but I talked about

01:37:50.000 --> 01:37:54.000
the idea of this benchmarking software that we would have

01:37:54.000 --> 01:37:58.000
well at the time I don't think it had a cool name and much of an idea really

01:37:58.000 --> 01:38:02.000
but we talked about like the concept and kind of bounce ideas back and forth

01:38:02.000 --> 01:38:06.000
on the concept the next video call that we had he had built

01:38:06.000 --> 01:38:10.000
like a prototype and I was like alright there's the

01:38:10.000 --> 01:38:14.000
job basically

01:38:14.000 --> 01:38:18.000
that's the gg right there not that we're saying that you should

01:38:18.000 --> 01:38:22.000
do unsolicited and unpaid work for a job

01:38:22.000 --> 01:38:26.000
you're applying for that's not advice

01:38:26.000 --> 01:38:30.000
however it certainly got our attention

01:38:30.000 --> 01:38:34.000
yeah I'll say that much it showed like passionate interest in the

01:38:34.000 --> 01:38:38.000
subject which I cared about a lot

01:38:38.000 --> 01:38:42.000
no we'll do that later

01:38:42.000 --> 01:38:46.000
NVIDIA's mythical N1 SoC has surfaced on a real motherboard and it's packing

01:38:46.000 --> 01:38:50.000
128 gigs of LPDDR5X

01:38:50.000 --> 01:38:54.000
NVIDIA's long rumored N1 SoC has shown up on a real motherboard for the first time

01:38:54.000 --> 01:38:58.000
spotted on the Chinese resale platform Goofish before the listing was taken down

01:38:58.000 --> 01:39:02.000
the board appeared to be a laptop engineering sample

01:39:02.000 --> 01:39:06.000
described as an NVIDIA N1 AI book and was packed with

01:39:06.000 --> 01:39:10.000
8 SK Hynex LPDDR5X memory chips totaling 128 gigabytes

01:39:10.000 --> 01:39:14.000
running at 85 33 megatransfers per second

01:39:14.000 --> 01:39:18.000
the N1 is supposed to share its silicon with the GB10

01:39:18.000 --> 01:39:22.000
chip that powers NVIDIA's DGX spark workstation

01:39:22.000 --> 01:39:26.000
and reportedly packs a 20-core ARM CPU

01:39:26.000 --> 01:39:30.000
designed with MediaTek alongside a Blackwell architecture GPU

01:39:30.000 --> 01:39:34.000
with up to 6144 CUDA cores which would put it roughly

01:39:34.000 --> 01:39:38.000
in RTX 5070 territory this would be NVIDIA's first

01:39:38.000 --> 01:39:42.000
crack at a consumer PC chip after years of Tegra SoCs

01:39:42.000 --> 01:39:46.000
for mobile devices phones and consoles like the Nintendo

01:39:46.000 --> 01:39:50.000
Switch. All signs point to a Computex 2026 reveal

01:39:50.000 --> 01:39:54.000
in June with Dell and Lenovo reportedly already testing laptops with the

01:39:54.000 --> 01:39:58.000
N1. The chip is designed to compete directly with Apple

01:39:58.000 --> 01:40:02.000
Silicon, AMD's Strix Halo, and Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite

01:40:02.000 --> 01:40:06.000
in the growing Windows on ARM space.

01:40:06.000 --> 01:40:10.000
It feels like a predominantly Strix Halo competitor. However,

01:40:10.000 --> 01:40:14.000
it's in a bit of a weird spot

01:40:14.000 --> 01:40:18.000
it's got like NVIDIA grade onboard graphics

01:40:18.000 --> 01:40:22.000
but it will have ARM on Windows grade

01:40:22.000 --> 01:40:26.000
game compatibility issues potentially

01:40:26.000 --> 01:40:30.000
unless NVIDIA has done some black magic wizardry

01:40:30.000 --> 01:40:34.000
which you know after seeing what Valve and Apple have done over the last 5-6 years

01:40:34.000 --> 01:40:38.000
I wouldn't say is impossible

01:40:38.000 --> 01:40:42.000
you know the migration from Intel to Apple Silicon was

01:40:42.000 --> 01:40:46.000
incredibly smooth and the way that

01:40:46.000 --> 01:40:50.000
I mean look that demo that I saw at Valve HQ

01:40:50.000 --> 01:40:54.000
playing on the Steam frame like playing an x86

01:40:54.000 --> 01:40:58.000
Windows like direct 3D game

01:40:58.000 --> 01:41:02.000
on an ARM CPU on Linux like blew my freaking mind man

01:41:02.000 --> 01:41:06.000
obviously it won't work on everything but I mean being

01:41:06.000 --> 01:41:10.000
on Windows here's a question

01:41:10.000 --> 01:41:14.000
does like kernel level anti-cheat work on Windows on ARM

01:41:14.000 --> 01:41:18.000
is it architecturally similar enough

01:41:18.000 --> 01:41:22.000
that it just like it's the Windows-ness that matters

01:41:22.000 --> 01:41:26.000
did they bother to port that

01:41:26.000 --> 01:41:30.000
like are you even gonna want a 5070 class GPU

01:41:30.000 --> 01:41:34.000
on a Windows on ARM laptop like is that something

01:41:34.000 --> 01:41:38.000
anybody is asking for because do the games matter

01:41:38.000 --> 01:41:42.000
chat even seems like so unsure about it

01:41:42.000 --> 01:41:46.000
it's like it's a question nobody seems to really be asking

01:41:46.000 --> 01:41:50.000
Ebalrid says a kernel level anti-cheat is just

01:41:50.000 --> 01:41:54.000
a driver and like yeah fair enough but it's a driver that needs

01:41:54.000 --> 01:41:58.000
certain permissions and I just I'm not sure

01:41:58.000 --> 01:42:02.000
if anyone has bothered to integrate it on Windows on ARM

01:42:02.000 --> 01:42:06.000
as far as my googling is showing this is all true but it's not

01:42:06.000 --> 01:42:10.000
everything is compatible with it because not everything has drivers for it

01:42:14.000 --> 01:42:18.000
yeah

01:42:18.000 --> 01:42:22.000
well anyway good luck with this NVIDIA

01:42:22.000 --> 01:42:26.000
apparently EA is expanding anti-cheat to ARM 64

01:42:26.000 --> 01:42:30.000
okay so like some companies are working on it

01:42:30.000 --> 01:42:34.000
maybe this is part of NVIDIA laying the groundwork for exactly

01:42:34.000 --> 01:42:38.000
this if they're starting to do stuff like that that might also help the Linux crowd

01:42:38.000 --> 01:42:42.000
but I kind of doubt it

01:42:42.000 --> 01:42:46.000
well I already closed that article but it mentions something along the lines of like

01:42:46.000 --> 01:42:50.000
Linux also potentially being included in their expansion of anti-cheat compatibility

01:42:50.000 --> 01:42:54.000
I'd love to see it I read a really long article and I think it was Ars Technica

01:42:54.000 --> 01:42:58.000
talking about the sort of inherent challenges with

01:42:58.000 --> 01:43:02.000
with anti-cheat on Linux and how it's just having the user

01:43:02.000 --> 01:43:06.000
having the user like by its very

01:43:06.000 --> 01:43:10.000
philosophy in control of the kernel

01:43:10.000 --> 01:43:14.000
is just going to kind of make it not a thing forever

01:43:14.000 --> 01:43:18.000
my I think counter argument

01:43:18.000 --> 01:43:22.000
is that they're barely catching stuff at all right now anyways unless they

01:43:22.000 --> 01:43:26.000
are like that's the thing how do you know that even

01:43:26.000 --> 01:43:30.000
more people wouldn't be cheating if it was even easier

01:43:30.000 --> 01:43:34.000
for me I think it's past the threshold

01:43:34.000 --> 01:43:38.000
so it like doesn't really matter there's just such a high percentage

01:43:38.000 --> 01:43:42.000
right now that it's already so bad that it being worse I don't think would

01:43:42.000 --> 01:43:46.000
significantly change my life but that being said

01:43:46.000 --> 01:43:50.000
the main game I've played that is a competitive

01:43:50.000 --> 01:43:54.000
shooter in the last while which I have not played very much of at all

01:43:54.000 --> 01:43:58.000
like genuinely less than five matches is counter strike

01:43:58.000 --> 01:44:02.000
and that is compatible with Linux and that had like the biggest

01:44:02.000 --> 01:44:06.000
and worst story of cheaters I've heard in a while

01:44:06.000 --> 01:44:10.000
which was fairly recent so I don't know but as far as

01:44:10.000 --> 01:44:14.000
my understanding goes a lot of those cheaters were actually just farming skins

01:44:14.000 --> 01:44:18.000
did you see the news about the huge

01:44:18.000 --> 01:44:22.000
warehouse full of PlayStation 4's that was farming FIFA stuff

01:44:22.000 --> 01:44:26.000
this is hilarious

01:44:26.000 --> 01:44:30.000
oh my god

01:44:30.000 --> 01:44:34.000
Ukraine warehouse packed with thousands of

01:44:34.000 --> 01:44:38.000
ps4's was actually a FIFA ultimate team bought farm

01:44:38.000 --> 01:44:42.000
what yeah

01:44:42.000 --> 01:44:46.000
I don't

01:44:46.000 --> 01:44:50.000
quite I don't know how FIFA ultimate team works

01:44:50.000 --> 01:44:54.000
understand this 3800 ps4's

01:44:54.000 --> 01:44:58.000
this is so funny to me

01:44:58.000 --> 01:45:02.000
look at the fans in the Windows you gotta cool the ps4's man

01:45:02.000 --> 01:45:06.000
would all of those need whatever PlayStation

01:45:06.000 --> 01:45:10.000
online subscription is would they all need those

01:45:10.000 --> 01:45:14.000
I guess so ultimate team cards

01:45:14.000 --> 01:45:18.000
card farming operation something something FIFA ultimate

01:45:18.000 --> 01:45:22.000
cards this is so this is so funny

01:45:22.000 --> 01:45:26.000
so if lucky purchased cards contain one of the rare cards which can be sold at a huge profit

01:45:26.000 --> 01:45:30.000
with so many consoles set up to automatically play the game

01:45:30.000 --> 01:45:34.000
there's a good chance a few rare cards will be discovered

01:45:34.000 --> 01:45:38.000
this is like man imagine imagine the investor

01:45:38.000 --> 01:45:42.000
pitch it's like okay bro I have a foolproof plan

01:45:42.000 --> 01:45:46.000
I have a foolproof plan to make lots of money as long as they don't patch it

01:45:46.000 --> 01:45:50.000
all I need is a small loan of 3800 play stations

01:45:50.000 --> 01:45:54.000
what are you talking about

01:45:54.000 --> 01:45:58.000
like the kind of money that's involved in the start up of something like this

01:45:58.000 --> 01:46:02.000
and and like the kind of the janky operation

01:46:02.000 --> 01:46:06.000
they're running like can you imagine the legitimate businesses that you could

01:46:06.000 --> 01:46:10.000
start with a warehouse and enough

01:46:10.000 --> 01:46:14.000
money to buy 3800 play stations not to mention the

01:46:14.000 --> 01:46:18.000
ongoing monthly expense of 3800 PSN subscriptions

01:46:18.000 --> 01:46:22.000
in the business chaos of doing that Ukraine

01:46:22.000 --> 01:46:26.000
just to also put that out there you could just do something else

01:46:26.000 --> 01:46:30.000
just an idea

01:46:30.000 --> 01:46:34.000
I don't know it seems crazy but you could just do

01:46:34.000 --> 01:46:38.000
anything else it's pretty wild like hey you could put your effort into

01:46:38.000 --> 01:46:42.000
shocking the Linux community with a game changing

01:46:42.000 --> 01:46:46.000
VRAM hack for 8 gig GPUs

01:46:46.000 --> 01:46:50.000
this is pretty cool Natalie Vock a contractor on Valve's

01:46:50.000 --> 01:46:54.000
Linux graphics driver team has developed kernel patches that

01:46:54.000 --> 01:46:58.000
fix how Linux handles VRAM on 8 gig GPUs

01:46:58.000 --> 01:47:02.000
previously when VRAM filled up the Linux kernel didn't know to prioritize

01:47:02.000 --> 01:47:06.000
the game you're actually playing so it might accidentally evict

01:47:06.000 --> 01:47:10.000
game data to slower system RAM to make room for background

01:47:10.000 --> 01:47:14.000
for like a background browser tab which could cause stutters and frame drops

01:47:14.000 --> 01:47:18.000
but fix tells the OS that the game is in the foreground and that should get first dibs on

01:47:18.000 --> 01:47:22.000
VRAM if memory fills up then background

01:47:22.000 --> 01:47:26.000
tasks are the ones forced into system RAM instead in her cyberpunk 2077

01:47:26.000 --> 01:47:30.000
tests on an 8 gig GPU the games VRAM usage climbed from about

01:47:30.000 --> 01:47:34.000
6 gigs to nearly 7.4 gigs while spillover to system memory

01:47:34.000 --> 01:47:38.000
dropped by 53% the patches currently only

01:47:38.000 --> 01:47:42.000
work on AMD GPUs because of NVIDIA's closed source drivers that don't allow

01:47:42.000 --> 01:47:46.000
this kind of memory management modification and cache OS is already integrating

01:47:46.000 --> 01:47:50.000
the fix and the patches are awaiting merge into the main Linux kernel which is I think

01:47:50.000 --> 01:47:54.000
what we talked about last week the cache OS part this does not apply

01:47:54.000 --> 01:47:58.000
to integrated GPUs like those in the steam deck or handheld PCs

01:47:58.000 --> 01:48:02.000
because they are using the same graphics

01:48:02.000 --> 01:48:06.000
pool anyway well not quite I mean okay the steam

01:48:06.000 --> 01:48:10.000
deck would be but I think for something like a Strix Halo

01:48:10.000 --> 01:48:14.000
it's a static allocation so maybe it would okay TBD

01:48:14.000 --> 01:48:18.000
TBD on that last bit what else we got Mr. Luke

01:48:18.000 --> 01:48:22.000
Xbox game pass apparently the what is it the new

01:48:22.000 --> 01:48:26.000
CEO yeah a new Microsoft gaming CEO

01:48:26.000 --> 01:48:30.000
Asha Sharma said in a leaked internal memo that game pass has become too expensive

01:48:30.000 --> 01:48:34.000
for players and that Microsoft needs a better value option

01:48:34.000 --> 01:48:38.000
Microsoft hiked game pass ultimate to $30 a month last year up from

01:48:38.000 --> 01:48:42.000
$20 which was itself already up a bump from

01:48:42.000 --> 01:48:46.000
$16.99 that's two price increases in 15 months and there was

01:48:46.000 --> 01:48:50.000
price increases before that as well as far as my understanding goes game pass now runs

01:48:50.000 --> 01:48:54.000
from $10 for essential to $15 for premium

01:48:54.000 --> 01:48:58.000
and $30 for ultimate Sharma says the long-term plan

01:48:58.000 --> 01:49:02.000
is to evolve game pass into a more flexible system though the details

01:49:02.000 --> 01:49:06.000
are pretty vague the memo also comes days after

01:49:06.000 --> 01:49:10.000
service that Call of Duty 2026 could skip game pass entirely

01:49:10.000 --> 01:49:14.000
which would be a major shift given that adding cod to the

01:49:14.000 --> 01:49:18.000
service was widely seen as the reason the price hikes happened in the first place

01:49:18.000 --> 01:49:22.000
that would be wild also be the reason why she's saying it's overpriced if they're not

01:49:22.000 --> 01:49:26.000
doing that anymore the whole point of game pass was supposed to be

01:49:26.000 --> 01:49:30.000
that I subscribed to it forever and like you know that sucks

01:49:30.000 --> 01:49:34.000
but you're giving me a good value in return for it and that's like

01:49:34.000 --> 01:49:38.000
the real deal is I get all the cool games the Microsoft games

01:49:38.000 --> 01:49:42.000
and it's a one

01:49:42.000 --> 01:49:46.000
all you can eat for the price of it feels weird saying that cod is a Microsoft game

01:49:46.000 --> 01:49:50.000
I know right sorry to just

01:49:50.000 --> 01:49:54.000
wasn't there also like that weird whole thing around

01:49:54.000 --> 01:49:58.000
the conversation for the Activision Blizzard acquisition

01:49:58.000 --> 01:50:02.000
where like they weren't going to

01:50:02.000 --> 01:50:06.000
have a bunch of f**kery with cod and which platforms I mean I guess

01:50:06.000 --> 01:50:10.000
I guess not having it on game pass would ultimately be

01:50:10.000 --> 01:50:14.000
satisfactory to someone like Sony. I think the main thing was they didn't want to have it taken away from

01:50:14.000 --> 01:50:18.000
Sony so this still doesn't do that. Yeah well okay so this this is fine

01:50:18.000 --> 01:50:22.000
I don't remember it's been a while but

01:50:22.000 --> 01:50:26.000
is this kind of a killer for game pass if you're not getting the hot new

01:50:26.000 --> 01:50:30.000
game I think it will be for some people yeah definitely

01:50:30.000 --> 01:50:34.000
that's the whole point of game pass is that I'm entering into kind of like an understanding

01:50:34.000 --> 01:50:38.000
especially a cod where like there's a new one every year

01:50:38.000 --> 01:50:42.000
that's the kind of game you subscribe to yeah like that's the agreement I

01:50:42.000 --> 01:50:46.000
have right is I give you money for game pass and then I never think about it again

01:50:46.000 --> 01:50:50.000
I can just play the games but if all of a sudden

01:50:50.000 --> 01:50:54.000
all my friends are playing that game that one game and it's not on

01:50:54.000 --> 01:50:58.000
game pass what is even the point of game pass I might as well just buy that one

01:50:58.000 --> 01:51:02.000
game and then I could see that kind of shifting people's mentality going like

01:51:02.000 --> 01:51:06.000
like that could be the kind of thing that just makes me mad enough

01:51:06.000 --> 01:51:10.000
to just cancel the subscription yeah and then give you

01:51:10.000 --> 01:51:14.000
my money another way ultimately yeah so

01:51:14.000 --> 01:51:18.000
Microsoft will probably learn nothing but

01:51:18.000 --> 01:51:22.000
hey at least at least Luke is at least Luke is winning a small

01:51:22.000 --> 01:51:26.000
a small maybe not decisive but small battle here I mean

01:51:26.000 --> 01:51:30.000
you've been adamantly anti-games as a subscription

01:51:30.000 --> 01:51:34.000
since the entire concept arose and at the in the beginning

01:51:34.000 --> 01:51:38.000
I think I actually argued quite

01:51:38.000 --> 01:51:42.000
passionately with you that at that original pricing it made a ton of

01:51:42.000 --> 01:51:46.000
sense but it has ultimately was the entire

01:51:46.000 --> 01:51:50.000
argument too was that if everyone ends up subscribing

01:51:50.000 --> 01:51:54.000
then they have all of the power all the leverage and that's

01:51:54.000 --> 01:51:58.000
like literally never goes well and the best way to play it

01:51:58.000 --> 01:52:02.000
was still going to be to you know subscribe when

01:52:02.000 --> 01:52:06.000
it was cheap play single player games or play experiences that

01:52:06.000 --> 01:52:10.000
you would never want to have again and then once it's not cheap anymore

01:52:10.000 --> 01:52:14.000
start buying games again but I still go and play Civ 5

01:52:14.000 --> 01:52:18.000
but not everyone operates that way yeah or like not I mean not

01:52:18.000 --> 01:52:22.000
everyone operates the way that they play a game and then they're done with it yeah I

01:52:22.000 --> 01:52:26.000
used to be more of a like go back and play a game that I haven't played in a long time

01:52:26.000 --> 01:52:30.000
guy but I'm not anymore I don't do it often but it's also nice to

01:52:30.000 --> 01:52:34.000
just I don't know it's nice no okay so

01:52:34.000 --> 01:52:38.000
10 billion years ago I did this stream for one of my birthdays I don't even remember

01:52:38.000 --> 01:52:42.000
which one it was but it would be kind of tough to do this now

01:52:42.000 --> 01:52:46.000
but I think I was 28 or something and I did I played

01:52:46.000 --> 01:52:50.000
one game for one hour for every year that I had been alive so

01:52:50.000 --> 01:52:54.000
I was born in 1990 so I played a game that released in 1990 for an hour

01:52:54.000 --> 01:52:58.000
I remember that it was awesome it was actually really fun it did really well for charity

01:52:58.000 --> 01:53:02.000
I think I suggested a couple of the games that you played I forget if you liked them though anyway

01:53:02.000 --> 01:53:06.000
I don't remember but it sounds likely but that was really fun

01:53:06.000 --> 01:53:10.000
I was largely able to play a lot of those games because I've had the same

01:53:10.000 --> 01:53:14.000
Steam account for most of my life and I just launched it from Steam

01:53:14.000 --> 01:53:18.000
some of them I had to go get of course especially the like 1990 era ones but like

01:53:18.000 --> 01:53:22.000
a lot of games that I just launched on Steam it's nice that I can

01:53:22.000 --> 01:53:26.000
I think I value the ability to do so a lot even

01:53:26.000 --> 01:53:30.000
if it's not something I super commonly do

01:53:30.000 --> 01:53:34.000
that's one of the things I actually brought up I wrote the Microsoft's year of

01:53:34.000 --> 01:53:38.000
humiliation script earlier this week so that was my kind of video essay

01:53:38.000 --> 01:53:42.000
video this week and that specifically

01:53:42.000 --> 01:53:46.000
was one of the things that I brought up as my hey I'm not a

01:53:46.000 --> 01:53:50.000
computer there's a lot of things that I love about Windows

01:53:50.000 --> 01:53:54.000
how about the ability to like click compatibility mode and run

01:53:54.000 --> 01:53:58.000
software from my childhood that's crazy

01:53:58.000 --> 01:54:02.000
do that on your PlayStation 5 like come on

01:54:02.000 --> 01:54:06.000
I think that's the thing that's been eating me up the most about

01:54:06.000 --> 01:54:10.000
the Linux challenge going really well

01:54:10.000 --> 01:54:14.000
is the frustration

01:54:14.000 --> 01:54:18.000
with Windows it's like almost been

01:54:18.000 --> 01:54:22.000
time for the weekly Windows

01:54:22.000 --> 01:54:26.000
really needs to do better bit yeah it's mostly been kind of

01:54:26.000 --> 01:54:30.000
sad I don't even know like I'm more sad about it than I am angry

01:54:30.000 --> 01:54:34.000
like it's like dang I actually really liked Windows for a

01:54:34.000 --> 01:54:38.000
long time

01:54:38.000 --> 01:54:42.000
Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 was just such a great

01:54:42.000 --> 01:54:46.000
series of operating systems assuming you didn't have a

01:54:46.000 --> 01:54:50.000
you had a powerful computer when Vista came out yeah so are we here now

01:54:50.000 --> 01:54:54.000
I think like maybe 6.5

01:54:54.000 --> 01:54:58.000
okay so we're sad I definitely spent a long time in 3

01:54:58.000 --> 01:55:02.000
I think I skipped 4 entirely 4 and 5 I skipped entirely

01:55:02.000 --> 01:55:06.000
and then now I'm like 6 and a half right now yeah alright

01:55:06.000 --> 01:55:10.000
why don't you list 8

01:55:10.000 --> 01:55:14.000
because when 8 came out it was trash 8.5 was like pretty

01:55:14.000 --> 01:55:18.000
okay yeah 8.1 but yes one sure

01:55:18.000 --> 01:55:22.000
yeah yeah yeah but but yeah when 8 first came out

01:55:22.000 --> 01:55:26.000
it was like just it was comically bad it's like the worst initial release of an

01:55:26.000 --> 01:55:30.000
OS that I had experienced at that time I'm not saying it's the worst

01:55:30.000 --> 01:55:34.000
ever but it's the worst I had experienced well you hadn't experienced Millennium Edition

01:55:34.000 --> 01:55:38.000
even I barely did like I was in I was in grade

01:55:38.000 --> 01:55:42.000
9 or something like that when Millennium Edition was

01:55:42.000 --> 01:55:46.000
my dad would have had it but I don't think I was exactly forming opinions on operating systems at the time

01:55:46.000 --> 01:55:50.000
well a lot of people skipped it yeah well my dad like messed with computers like we had

01:55:50.000 --> 01:55:54.000
2 or 3 computers that time and he would get random software all the time

01:55:54.000 --> 01:55:58.000
remember for one of my birthdays I received a I think I've told you about this before

01:55:58.000 --> 01:56:02.000
it was awesome actually I got a like

01:56:02.000 --> 01:56:06.000
writable CD that has had Sharpie all over it with like 20 different games

01:56:06.000 --> 01:56:10.000
it's like here's your birthday gift

01:56:10.000 --> 01:56:14.000
it was awesome

01:56:14.000 --> 01:56:18.000
yeah anyways it's just it's frustrating that it's

01:56:18.000 --> 01:56:22.000
that it's so frustrating to use right now hey speaking of things

01:56:22.000 --> 01:56:26.000
from the late 90s

01:56:26.000 --> 01:56:30.000
while attempting to reduce the size of a 600 plus

01:56:30.000 --> 01:56:34.000
Gigabyte backup of a discourse server

01:56:34.000 --> 01:56:38.000
engineers at discourse discovered that a 1.6

01:56:38.000 --> 01:56:42.000
megabyte GIF of Jennifer Aniston's Happy Dance

01:56:42.000 --> 01:56:46.000
was duplicated almost a quarter million times

01:56:46.000 --> 01:56:50.000
this isn't really good news

01:56:50.000 --> 01:56:54.000
it's just funny news while trying to fix the duplication while trying

01:56:54.000 --> 01:56:58.000
to fix the duplicate I'm so tired this

01:56:58.000 --> 01:57:02.000
week duplication he got it we're good while trying to fix the duplication problem

01:57:02.000 --> 01:57:06.000
a single instance of the GIF and hard links in the file system for each time

01:57:06.000 --> 01:57:10.000
somebody tried to upload it again the admins discovered a limitation

01:57:10.000 --> 01:57:14.000
of the ext4 file system that they previously

01:57:14.000 --> 01:57:18.000
didn't know about a file can only

01:57:18.000 --> 01:57:22.000
have 65,000 links pointing to it

01:57:22.000 --> 01:57:26.000
so instead of one copy and

01:57:26.000 --> 01:57:30.000
250,000 links for all the duplicates of it they got

01:57:30.000 --> 01:57:34.000
one copy

01:57:34.000 --> 01:57:38.000
65,000 links and another 180,000 duplicates of the file

01:57:38.000 --> 01:57:42.000
Dan if you could throw the link to the blog

01:57:42.000 --> 01:57:46.000
post that would be pretty funny the blog has a bunch more detail including their

01:57:46.000 --> 01:57:50.000
eventual fix and you can check it out if you're into that sort of thing

01:57:50.000 --> 01:57:54.000
these are the kinds of I guess bugs

01:57:54.000 --> 01:57:58.000
that are really frustrating and can be sometimes

01:57:58.000 --> 01:58:02.000
scary because when you're working with any time you're working with data

01:58:02.000 --> 01:58:06.000
loss is it can be very frightening

01:58:06.000 --> 01:58:10.000
you understood what I meant data loss can be very scary

01:58:10.000 --> 01:58:14.000
can be very frustrating oh no I didn't mean it that way it's a meme

01:58:14.000 --> 01:58:18.000
I know is this loss is it okay no no I know I just mean

01:58:18.000 --> 01:58:22.000
I was memeing back at you of course not

01:58:22.000 --> 01:58:26.000
yeah it can be very frightening but this is

01:58:26.000 --> 01:58:30.000
I feel like the kind of thing that is like this is why we play the game

01:58:30.000 --> 01:58:34.000
oh yeah I know this is fun to like to to find stuff like this because

01:58:34.000 --> 01:58:38.000
because of course there might be a limit to how many link backs

01:58:38.000 --> 01:58:42.000
because whoever did this however long ago they designed this must have gone

01:58:42.000 --> 01:58:46.000
well surely nobody will need more than 65,000

01:58:46.000 --> 01:58:50.000
link backs to a single file

01:58:50.000 --> 01:58:54.000
yeah I don't know it's not really good news I just thought it was really funny

01:58:54.000 --> 01:58:58.000
that's funny I like that they made a blog post out of it because it's

01:58:58.000 --> 01:59:02.000
yeah exactly sharing the knowledge with the community

01:59:02.000 --> 01:59:06.000
speaking of things that are funny struggling shoe retailer Allbirds

01:59:06.000 --> 01:59:10.000
makes bizarre pivot from shoes to AI and their stock

01:59:10.000 --> 01:59:14.000
explodes in value Allbirds the wool sneaker company

01:59:14.000 --> 01:59:18.000
announced it's leaving shoes behind entirely I think they even sold

01:59:18.000 --> 01:59:22.000
off everything and is rebranding as

01:59:22.000 --> 01:59:26.000
Bird AI an AI compute infrastructure company because

01:59:26.000 --> 01:59:30.000
why not stock went from under three bucks to about 17

01:59:30.000 --> 01:59:34.000
in a single day I got this from Atrioc but look

01:59:34.000 --> 01:59:38.000
at the much bigger view go many years instead

01:59:38.000 --> 01:59:42.000
oops the plan is to buy

01:59:42.000 --> 01:59:46.000
GPUs and lease them out for AI compute customers who can't get

01:59:46.000 --> 01:59:50.000
reliable access from hyperscalers what a plan secured

01:59:50.000 --> 01:59:54.000
$30 million in funding to get started

01:59:54.000 --> 01:59:58.000
CNBC's Jim Kramer oh boy called it ridiculous

01:59:58.000 --> 02:00:02.000
so maybe it's actually really high value so I guess it's a really good idea

02:00:02.000 --> 02:00:06.000
time to invest okay but not financial advice

02:00:06.000 --> 02:00:10.000
pointing out that it fits the classic pattern seen during

02:00:10.000 --> 02:00:14.000
the crypto boom dying companies bolting

02:00:14.000 --> 02:00:18.000
blockchain onto their names to pump the stock and now it's AI

02:00:18.000 --> 02:00:22.000
this goes back super super super super far beyond just the

02:00:22.000 --> 02:00:26.000
blockchain push as well I don't forget dot com and others

02:00:26.000 --> 02:00:30.000
the classic 90s bubble yeah Allbirds was a public benefit

02:00:30.000 --> 02:00:34.000
corporation championed by Leonardo DiCaprio

02:00:34.000 --> 02:00:38.000
Oprah and Obama the pivot includes dropping that status

02:00:38.000 --> 02:00:42.000
entirely with filings stating the company would be less focused on the public

02:00:42.000 --> 02:00:46.000
benefit of environmental conservation because I guess that was like

02:00:46.000 --> 02:00:50.000
pretty inconvenient for being a data center defined so now they

02:00:50.000 --> 02:00:54.000
have to get away from that which is also really funny

02:00:54.000 --> 02:00:58.000
ah very good

02:00:58.000 --> 02:01:02.000
man what a I mean I want

02:01:02.000 --> 02:01:06.000
I want AI shoes I want I wonder if Allbirds will end up being like

02:01:06.000 --> 02:01:10.000
worth a ton of money in like certain Silicon Valley circles I don't

02:01:10.000 --> 02:01:14.000
know man that's like a almost a flex

02:01:14.000 --> 02:01:18.000
I have no idea this is the kind of thing that again it wasn't good news but

02:01:18.000 --> 02:01:22.000
it was just it was funny it was too funny for me to not talk about

02:01:22.000 --> 02:01:26.000
maybe it can be good news and things that are funny like seriously

02:01:26.000 --> 02:01:30.000
if I was if I was less

02:01:30.000 --> 02:01:34.000
if I was less principled man just

02:01:34.000 --> 02:01:38.000
an IPO with just Linus Media Group AI

02:01:38.000 --> 02:01:42.000
infrastructure in Canada AI infrastructure in Canada

02:01:42.000 --> 02:01:46.000
the cooling is easier here we're going to be making videos about our AI

02:01:46.000 --> 02:01:50.000
data center build out we're going to have we do this like

02:01:50.000 --> 02:01:54.000
pitch video offering unparalleled transparency into the AI

02:01:54.000 --> 02:01:58.000
data center build out in the frozen north we've solved cooling

02:01:58.000 --> 02:02:02.000
just put it in the Arctic and we've got all the energy

02:02:02.000 --> 02:02:06.000
and you know blah blah blah like you go you I don't

02:02:06.000 --> 02:02:10.000
I don't know who the gullible people giving Allbirds 50 million

02:02:10.000 --> 02:02:14.000
dollars are but I secure a meeting with them somehow

02:02:14.000 --> 02:02:18.000
like I just it just seems like the playbook is so

02:02:18.000 --> 02:02:22.000
simple and so dumb

02:02:22.000 --> 02:02:26.000
and just so easy that I feel like it couldn't be that hard

02:02:26.000 --> 02:02:30.000
it couldn't be that hard oh man dude did you see the one where

02:02:30.000 --> 02:02:34.000
that that woman got a five million dollar refund from the CRA

02:02:34.000 --> 02:02:38.000
under taxes so this is just

02:02:38.000 --> 02:02:42.000
classic you know scammers are not that smart

02:02:42.000 --> 02:02:46.000
kind of lower here so what she did

02:02:46.000 --> 02:02:50.000
the ones you know what she did yeah right well

02:02:50.000 --> 02:02:54.000
she reported nine million nine hundred ninety nine thousand

02:02:54.000 --> 02:02:58.000
nine hundred ninety nine dollars in foreign income on her tax

02:02:58.000 --> 02:03:02.000
return reported to the CRA that she

02:03:02.000 --> 02:03:06.000
had paid income tax on it

02:03:06.000 --> 02:03:10.000
and said that she was entitled to a five million dollar

02:03:10.000 --> 02:03:14.000
refund hold on

02:03:14.000 --> 02:03:18.000
the next part is the funniest part and I want to make sure that I don't get this

02:03:18.000 --> 02:03:22.000
wrong because it's so funny

02:03:22.000 --> 02:03:26.000
here we go court records say that

02:03:26.000 --> 02:03:30.000
auditors later became suspicious after realizing that Wallace

02:03:30.000 --> 02:03:34.000
the person who filed this claim was claiming status both

02:03:34.000 --> 02:03:38.000
as a resident and as a non-resident of Canada

02:03:38.000 --> 02:03:42.000
Wallace they noted submitted a vague two word explanation

02:03:42.000 --> 02:03:46.000
in tax forms for the claimed foreign income

02:03:46.000 --> 02:03:50.000
United Nations

02:03:50.000 --> 02:03:54.000
this got passed two reviews

02:03:54.000 --> 02:03:58.000
they wrote the check

02:03:58.000 --> 02:04:02.000
a third review that got flagged because it was an outlier

02:04:02.000 --> 02:04:06.000
refund found it and was like

02:04:06.000 --> 02:04:10.000
yo what is this and they froze her assets but already

02:04:10.000 --> 02:04:14.000
hundreds of thousands of dollars are gone

02:04:14.000 --> 02:04:18.000
and like this is the kind of person that you gotta look at and go they got

02:04:18.000 --> 02:04:22.000
no shot whatsoever there's no way they didn't waste that money

02:04:22.000 --> 02:04:26.000
pull that off you gotta get it overseas and move out of Canada

02:04:26.000 --> 02:04:30.000
so that's the thing is like she didn't

02:04:30.000 --> 02:04:34.000
that's crazy

02:04:34.000 --> 02:04:38.000
that's crazy and you have no time you gotta leave

02:04:38.000 --> 02:04:42.000
that's the kind of scam that seriously

02:04:42.000 --> 02:04:46.000
I would be a criminal fucking mastermind

02:04:46.000 --> 02:04:50.000
compared to some of these people but again she got caught

02:04:50.000 --> 02:04:54.000
yeah I guess I think that's a big part of it but like I would have skipped town

02:04:54.000 --> 02:04:58.000
I'd be gone I'd have gone to Costco and bought all the gold bullion

02:04:58.000 --> 02:05:02.000
in a bank

02:05:02.000 --> 02:05:06.000
I don't get it dude

02:05:06.000 --> 02:05:10.000
it seems so simple it seems like we could just

02:05:10.000 --> 02:05:14.000
like if someone says they paid five million dollars in taxes you'd think there'd just be

02:05:14.000 --> 02:05:18.000
like an AI check that's like did you though

02:05:18.000 --> 02:05:22.000
well it's not in our bank account

02:05:22.000 --> 02:05:26.000
this is like that thing I went through when we got like wire

02:05:26.000 --> 02:05:30.000
we got it a while back remember that

02:05:30.000 --> 02:05:34.000
when our pool contracting company

02:05:34.000 --> 02:05:38.000
got their email server infiltrated so they were able to send us emails

02:05:38.000 --> 02:05:42.000
from our pool company and then intercept our responses

02:05:42.000 --> 02:05:46.000
was what happened and then so we wired money

02:05:46.000 --> 02:05:50.000
like from a bank to a bank within Canada and then

02:05:50.000 --> 02:05:54.000
we did ultimately end up getting it back but there was like a high risk that we weren't going to be able to

02:05:54.000 --> 02:05:58.000
what is the bloody point of electronic

02:05:58.000 --> 02:06:02.000
fund movement if it can't be reversed if it turns out that it was a

02:06:02.000 --> 02:06:06.000
f***ing criminal like obviously fraud and like how hard is it to go hey

02:06:06.000 --> 02:06:10.000
that was fraud when the person shows up

02:06:10.000 --> 02:06:14.000
to take it out just handcuff them

02:06:14.000 --> 02:06:18.000
like I must be missing something here

02:06:18.000 --> 02:06:22.000
because I believe genuinely I also don't get it so I feel like

02:06:22.000 --> 02:06:26.000
we're both missing something

02:06:26.000 --> 02:06:30.000
law enforcement probably for the most part like you know tries pretty hard and stuff

02:06:30.000 --> 02:06:34.000
I've met some very hard working law enforcement people

02:06:34.000 --> 02:06:38.000
but it just seems like sometimes it really is that simple

02:06:38.000 --> 02:06:42.000
as just hey you know that it was taken

02:06:42.000 --> 02:06:46.000
you know illegitimately so just wait on the other side

02:06:46.000 --> 02:06:50.000
okay so willing spy said lol at Linus wait till you find out how credit card

02:06:50.000 --> 02:06:54.000
security works there's a reason why Mythbusters couldn't do an episode on it

02:06:54.000 --> 02:06:58.000
I know about that but my understanding of that is that's why the

02:06:58.000 --> 02:07:02.000
honestly ability to get your money back from credit card fraud

02:07:02.000 --> 02:07:06.000
is so easy because they know it's kind of crap so they just cover you

02:07:06.000 --> 02:07:10.000
yeah no I and then that's just part of what you're

02:07:10.000 --> 02:07:14.000
like the one and a half percent or two percent merchant fee covers is just

02:07:14.000 --> 02:07:18.000
I had my card skimmed once and I just had a call with the guy and he was like okay let's go

02:07:18.000 --> 02:07:22.000
through your thing and just basically point out all the ones that seem not

02:07:22.000 --> 02:07:26.000
legit and I did and he's like yep seems right just sent me all the money like it was

02:07:26.000 --> 02:07:30.000
super easy because of that so that's

02:07:30.000 --> 02:07:34.000
why this scenario is weird is because that part

02:07:34.000 --> 02:07:38.000
isn't super easy so obviously fraud because every day

02:07:38.000 --> 02:07:42.000
on every transaction you're paying for transaction insurance

02:07:42.000 --> 02:07:46.000
if you use at least in North America if you use a credit

02:07:46.000 --> 02:07:50.000
card please say no more I hear you but like it doesn't matter

02:07:50.000 --> 02:07:54.000
if someone wants to rip off credit cards they can do internet research for roughly 5 seconds

02:07:54.000 --> 02:07:58.000
and figure out how to do it like it's us talking about it on the

02:07:58.000 --> 02:08:02.000
show is not going to move the needle that's one of the reasons why it's like fully acceptable

02:08:02.000 --> 02:08:06.000
to make content about doing stuff like that

02:08:06.000 --> 02:08:10.000
about security tools and what not on YouTube on the internet

02:08:10.000 --> 02:08:14.000
publishing books about it doing whatever is because like

02:08:14.000 --> 02:08:18.000
it's better to educate people about how it's done so they can protect themselves and it is

02:08:18.000 --> 02:08:22.000
to no key no key just posted Veritasium apparently made a

02:08:22.000 --> 02:08:26.000
video this is their most recent video on how you can make a payment with

02:08:26.000 --> 02:08:30.000
no upper ceiling and stole ten thousand dollars from MKBHT

02:08:30.000 --> 02:08:34.000
Veritasium is making a ton of like hacking content yeah

02:08:34.000 --> 02:08:38.000
it's been doing really well it's been great

02:08:38.000 --> 02:08:42.000
it's just a surprising pivot

02:08:42.000 --> 02:08:46.000
yeah 3.7 million views exposing a flaw in

02:08:46.000 --> 02:08:50.000
tap to pay yeah

02:08:50.000 --> 02:08:54.000
I mean good for Derek and the and the acquiring company like they seem to be

02:08:54.000 --> 02:08:58.000
he seems to have found the way to divest

02:08:58.000 --> 02:09:02.000
of the channel that he founded without it completely losing

02:09:02.000 --> 02:09:06.000
its soul and the acquiring company seems like they are

02:09:06.000 --> 02:09:10.000
they are they have a strong interest

02:09:10.000 --> 02:09:14.000
in being good stewards of the channel that they

02:09:14.000 --> 02:09:18.000
I'm not sure what amount of it they acquired so just take this for

02:09:18.000 --> 02:09:22.000
what it is I was not involved in the deal in any way

02:09:22.000 --> 02:09:26.000
but it seems like from the outside that it's going pretty good

02:09:26.000 --> 02:09:30.000
Avian says the new host is hard to watch I mean part of it might just be not being used to

02:09:30.000 --> 02:09:34.000
used to them I thought they were fine

02:09:34.000 --> 02:09:38.000
yeah I do think it's probably not being used to them because I think they're fine

02:09:38.000 --> 02:09:44.000
yeah Balrid says they've gotten the kind of deal that Linus refused and now there's many writers doing

02:09:44.000 --> 02:09:48.000
many kinds of topics and 9 out of 10 videos is like legit good yeah that's

02:09:48.000 --> 02:09:52.000
that's cool I mean if we could find someone who was willing to

02:09:52.000 --> 02:09:56.000
do it the same way as that I might

02:09:56.000 --> 02:10:00.000
consider it again but it would have to be

02:10:00.000 --> 02:10:04.000
there were a lot of factors there was the team as well

02:10:04.000 --> 02:10:08.000
like I was I was very worried that they would not only

02:10:08.000 --> 02:10:12.000
not be good stewards of the content but they wouldn't be good stewards of the team

02:10:12.000 --> 02:10:16.000
and I'd have to see what

02:10:16.000 --> 02:10:20.000
the proposal would assure as far as all of that goes

02:10:20.000 --> 02:10:24.000
we do have some more sponsors to talk about though if you're looking for a new gaming

02:10:24.000 --> 02:10:28.000
computer but don't know where to start our sponsor MSI has a whole

02:10:28.000 --> 02:10:32.000
catalog or should I say codecs of gaming computers for you

02:10:32.000 --> 02:10:36.000
to upgrade to each system comes out of the box ready for you to play

02:10:36.000 --> 02:10:40.000
the latest releases like pragmatta or resident evil requiem

02:10:40.000 --> 02:10:44.000
and that's because each system comes equipped with up to

02:10:44.000 --> 02:10:48.000
a 12th gen Intel Core i7 processor and MSI GeForce RTX 5060

02:10:48.000 --> 02:10:52.000
TI they also include MSI's LED button which gives you more customization

02:10:52.000 --> 02:10:56.000
options with over 60 different lighting effects just press and hold for mystic light

02:10:56.000 --> 02:11:00.000
software compatibility and every system has RGB

02:11:00.000 --> 02:11:04.000
so you can keep your system temperatures low in style and every computer

02:11:04.000 --> 02:11:08.000
is assembled in America with standardized components making upgrades and

02:11:08.000 --> 02:11:12.000
adjustments easy that's actually a pretty

02:11:12.000 --> 02:11:16.000
compelling selling point for a lot of folks I'm I'm a little surprised

02:11:16.000 --> 02:11:20.000
MSI is doing it that way but kudos to them so grab your own MSI

inventory your staff and schedules and so much more a lot of the time the tools

02:11:36.000 --> 02:11:40.000
needed for these kinds of things don't always interface well with each other

02:11:40.000 --> 02:11:44.000
one system for payments another for payroll and so on and so forth

02:11:44.000 --> 02:11:48.000

slash go slash when

02:12:32.000 --> 02:12:36.000
there it is look at that and it's also linked down below

02:12:36.000 --> 02:12:40.000
all right we've got a couple more topics here you've got three minutes oops

02:12:40.000 --> 02:12:44.000
uh BYD is now upgrading some of its top selling EVs with five

02:12:44.000 --> 02:12:48.000
minute flash charging this is nuts absolutely nuts

02:12:48.000 --> 02:12:52.000
this is uh so this is uh it's going to be starting with the

02:12:52.000 --> 02:12:56.000
plus so it sold us the add-oh three outside of China which was the 13th best

02:12:56.000 --> 02:13:00.000
selling EV globally in 2025 and at first debuted in BYD's luxury

02:13:00.000 --> 02:13:04.000
models like the Yang Wang U7 and the Denza Z9 GT

02:13:04.000 --> 02:13:08.000
they claim it will charge from 10% to 70% in

02:13:08.000 --> 02:13:12.000
five minutes 10% to 97% in nine

02:13:12.000 --> 02:13:16.000
minutes and uh only add about three minutes

02:13:16.000 --> 02:13:20.000
to those times in extreme cold temperatures like down to minus

02:13:20.000 --> 02:13:24.000
10% in AC

02:13:24.000 --> 02:13:28.000
BYD has already built out over 5,000

02:13:28.000 --> 02:13:32.000
of their 1.5 megawatt flash charging stations

02:13:32.000 --> 02:13:36.000
and is aiming for 20,000 by the end of the year in China with a European rollout

02:13:36.000 --> 02:13:40.000
now underway as well dude

02:13:40.000 --> 02:13:44.000
is this it is this the last obstacle

02:13:44.000 --> 02:13:48.000
to widespread EV adoption

02:13:48.000 --> 02:13:52.000
um the weight still sucks

02:13:52.000 --> 02:13:56.000
it's interesting in North America because

02:13:56.000 --> 02:14:00.000
like okay so there's some Chinese there's some Chinese EVs coming to Canada

02:14:00.000 --> 02:14:04.000
that's going to that's going to move the needle here quite a bit but apparently

02:14:04.000 --> 02:14:08.000
I've heard that you're not even going to be able to be allowed to like road trip through the states

02:14:08.000 --> 02:14:12.000
like you might not be able to enter America at all in a Chinese EV

02:14:12.000 --> 02:14:16.000
really I've heard that might be a thing

02:14:16.000 --> 02:14:20.000
just longer than the next

02:14:20.000 --> 02:14:24.000
2.75 years though let's be real

02:14:24.000 --> 02:14:28.000
they might still want to protect their automotive program no matter who's in admin

02:14:28.000 --> 02:14:32.000
I don't see how preventing someone from road tripping into the states

02:14:32.000 --> 02:14:36.000
will help American automotive manufacturing

02:14:36.000 --> 02:14:40.000
I think their idea is you can't

02:14:40.000 --> 02:14:44.000
enter the states with them so they can't be like left there

02:14:44.000 --> 02:14:48.000
like if you drove down and then happened to fly back up or something

02:14:48.000 --> 02:14:52.000
you just left your car there and now there's a Chinese EV in China

02:14:52.000 --> 02:14:56.000
you mean in the US but yes

02:14:56.000 --> 02:15:00.000
yes there's lots of Chinese EVs in China quite a few

02:15:00.000 --> 02:15:04.000
I saw them with my own eyes

02:15:04.000 --> 02:15:08.000
next topic quick Google will begin punishing sites for back button hijacking in June

02:15:08.000 --> 02:15:12.000
I love this so much I love I freaking

02:15:12.000 --> 02:15:16.000
some sites will do it twice

02:15:16.000 --> 02:15:20.000
like you'll go to go back and it'll not it'll just like go to some sub menu thing and you'll go to go back again

02:15:20.000 --> 02:15:24.000
and it goes to some other thing

02:15:24.000 --> 02:15:28.000
yeah Google is adding

02:15:28.000 --> 02:15:32.000
a back button hijacking to its spam policy starting June 15th sites that

02:15:32.000 --> 02:15:36.000
mess with your browser's back button trapping you in loops redirecting you to pages

02:15:36.000 --> 02:15:40.000
you never visited or shoving ads and recommendations in the way when you try to leave

02:15:40.000 --> 02:15:44.000
base ranking penalties or manual spam actions

02:15:44.000 --> 02:15:48.000
they should have been done ages ago yeah Google is giving sites a two month

02:15:48.000 --> 02:15:52.000
heads up and notes that some of the worst offenders might not even know they're

02:15:52.000 --> 02:15:56.000
doing it since the hijacking can come from third party ad scripts or

02:15:56.000 --> 02:16:00.000
recommendation widgets baked into the site that's brutal actually I don't care

02:16:00.000 --> 02:16:04.000
yeah I don't care either it needs to go away yep

02:16:04.000 --> 02:16:08.000
and like you're gonna have to be responsible for

02:16:08.000 --> 02:16:12.000
the ad scripts and stuff that you put on your site yeah it is what it is

02:16:12.000 --> 02:16:16.000
now the next thing I want is a single close button on all mobile

02:16:16.000 --> 02:16:20.000
ads because I play word scapes with Yvonne like almost

02:16:20.000 --> 02:16:24.000
every night I have had more exposure to mobile ads in the last like three to six

02:16:24.000 --> 02:16:28.000
months than the previous my entire life combined

02:16:28.000 --> 02:16:32.000
and they are so annoying my ad block works

02:16:32.000 --> 02:16:36.000
to a certain degree to the point where I could tell you very few of the things I've ever even seen an ad

02:16:36.000 --> 02:16:40.000
for like I can't you're not actually running ad block you mean

02:16:40.000 --> 02:16:44.000
your brains yeah like I can't I don't care what it is or

02:16:44.000 --> 02:16:48.000
know what it is but what I do care is that like sometimes the

02:16:48.000 --> 02:16:52.000
exit is up here and sometimes it's over here and sometimes you have to wait

02:16:52.000 --> 02:16:56.000
for a circle to complete and other times you have to like go

02:16:56.000 --> 02:17:00.000
open it on the ads app store and then go back and then

02:17:00.000 --> 02:17:04.000
exit it and there's this one really obnoxious one that the X never appears

02:17:04.000 --> 02:17:08.000
until you just like press somewhere on the screen and it won't open the ad

02:17:08.000 --> 02:17:12.000
but it will make the X appear so you have to like press it and then X and then

02:17:12.000 --> 02:17:16.000
brings up another thing and then X again one X I find like I mentioned I play the

02:17:16.000 --> 02:17:20.000
New York Times games it's been a while but I play them every once in a while

02:17:20.000 --> 02:17:24.000
sometimes by myself usually with Emma they're they have ads right they're gonna have to

02:17:24.000 --> 02:17:28.000
have ads to do whatever yeah but if you notice you can make it

02:17:28.000 --> 02:17:32.000
perfectly perfectly go away

02:17:32.000 --> 02:17:36.000
nice solid it's just gone solid

02:17:36.000 --> 02:17:40.000
no problem I don't mind that at all solid I think that's

02:17:40.000 --> 02:17:44.000
that's totally good um what's a little

02:17:44.000 --> 02:17:48.000
less good this is the one exception to the good news

02:17:48.000 --> 02:17:52.000
when show this week major news outlets are blocking the

02:17:52.000 --> 02:17:56.000
internet archive wired reports that in an effort to limit

02:17:56.000 --> 02:18:00.000
agents accessing historical data for training 23 major

02:18:00.000 --> 02:18:04.000
publications including USA today and the New York Times

02:18:04.000 --> 02:18:08.000
are currently blocking the internet archives crawler

02:18:08.000 --> 02:18:12.000
IS-archiver bot the abuse of

02:18:12.000 --> 02:18:16.000
fair use policies in the training of LLMs is a serious concern for both copyright

02:18:16.000 --> 02:18:20.000
holders and the internet archive organization

02:18:20.000 --> 02:18:24.000
the yeah hosting massive amounts

02:18:24.000 --> 02:18:28.000
and for the internet archive organization because hosting massive amounts of data

02:18:28.000 --> 02:18:32.000
has bandwidth costs associated with it um due to LLM

02:18:32.000 --> 02:18:36.000
bots accessing it over and over and over and over and over and over again often

02:18:36.000 --> 02:18:40.000
in an incredibly inefficient way because they don't care this is really

02:18:40.000 --> 02:18:44.000
bad news because the internet archive has only grown in importance as the world

02:18:44.000 --> 02:18:48.000
has increasingly abandoned print journalism and the archives

02:18:48.000 --> 02:18:52.000
maintained by libraries and news organizations have fallen into disrepair

02:18:52.000 --> 02:18:56.000
it used to be that you could go to your local library and pull up a microfiche

02:18:56.000 --> 02:19:00.000
of the newspaper of any given day in history and you could go read it like you

02:19:00.000 --> 02:19:04.000
could go read the newspaper the day that you were born for instance um this has gotten

02:19:04.000 --> 02:19:08.000
very difficult in spite of pushback from copyright

02:19:08.000 --> 02:19:12.000
holders courts have established that the archives actions are legal and that creating

02:19:12.000 --> 02:19:16.000
a searchable index without making copies of the materials is impossible

02:19:16.000 --> 02:19:20.000
but um I can also understand

02:19:20.000 --> 02:19:24.000
why copyright holders are doing what they're doing because just having

02:19:24.000 --> 02:19:28.000
AI agents trained on their stuff is also

02:19:28.000 --> 02:19:32.000
not good yeah um wayback machine director Mark

02:19:32.000 --> 02:19:36.000
Graham is reportedly in talks with several outlets so the archivers bot could gain access

02:19:36.000 --> 02:19:40.000
to the websites once more but right now is an uncertain time

02:19:40.000 --> 02:19:44.000
for archiving important

02:19:44.000 --> 02:19:48.000
information that otherwise could just be

02:19:48.000 --> 02:19:52.000
lost

02:19:52.000 --> 02:19:56.000
subject rare bootleg concert recordings are coming to the internet archive

02:19:56.000 --> 02:20:00.000
I do I just have to I don't know

02:20:00.000 --> 02:20:04.000
one more topic

02:20:04.000 --> 02:20:08.000
music superfan Adam Jacobs has built a collection of more than 10,000 cassette tapes

02:20:08.000 --> 02:20:12.000
by attending and recording concerts since 1989 after Jacobs was featured

02:20:12.000 --> 02:20:16.000
in a documentary in 2023 the internet archive reached out and now

02:20:16.000 --> 02:20:20.000
once a month a volunteer named Brian Emmerich picks up 10 to 20

02:20:20.000 --> 02:20:24.000
boxes stuffed with tapes and transfers the analog recordings in real time to digital

02:20:24.000 --> 02:20:28.000
files that are sent to other volunteers to clean up organize and publish

02:20:28.000 --> 02:20:32.000
so far almost 2,500 tapes have been digitized and added to the

02:20:32.000 --> 02:20:36.000
Adams or the Adam Jacobs collection on the internet archive the collection

02:20:36.000 --> 02:20:40.000
includes rarities like nirvana performing in 1989

02:20:40.000 --> 02:20:44.000
two years before smells like team spirit was released as a single wow

02:20:44.000 --> 02:20:48.000
that's cool they so they record smells like teams oh that's so cool

02:20:48.000 --> 02:20:52.000
unreleased tracks by Tracy Chapman and previously unknown recordings

02:20:52.000 --> 02:20:56.000
of sonic youth r.m fish Liz fair pavement neutral milk hotel

02:20:56.000 --> 02:21:00.000
and a host of others

02:21:00.000 --> 02:21:04.000
maybe a controversial take but I have never really felt the need

02:21:04.000 --> 02:21:08.000
to record a concert I thought you're not really supposed to and

02:21:08.000 --> 02:21:12.000
I've I've actually come around to the idea of a concert

02:21:12.000 --> 02:21:16.000
being an experience for the moment and not something to be recorded but maybe

02:21:16.000 --> 02:21:20.000
I'm maybe this is a it kind of goes against

02:21:20.000 --> 02:21:24.000
my general stance as just like a data hoarder and everything should exist forever but

02:21:24.000 --> 02:21:28.000
I don't know I

02:21:28.000 --> 02:21:32.000
maybe I just grieved it already because there were really great experiences I had live that

02:21:32.000 --> 02:21:36.000
I was never able to recall again and I just was like okay well I guess that's just

02:21:36.000 --> 02:21:40.000
the nature of the beast I think there is also certain things

02:21:40.000 --> 02:21:44.000
that you shouldn't be distracted by the camera you should just experience

02:21:44.000 --> 02:21:48.000
I also remember I went to blink when a to had a concert

02:21:48.000 --> 02:21:52.000
in Vancouver and my brother and I went yeah and remember I recorded it

02:21:52.000 --> 02:21:56.000
on my phone and sent it to a buddy because I thought he'd like it

02:21:56.000 --> 02:22:00.000
and then a few days later I went back and watched it and was like why the

02:22:00.000 --> 02:22:04.000
would he like this yeah because I just sent him a really crappy recording

02:22:04.000 --> 02:22:08.000
of blink when a to playing a song that he's heard before in a good recording

02:22:08.000 --> 02:22:12.000
so like I don't know I do think like

02:22:12.000 --> 02:22:16.000
I have heard

02:22:16.000 --> 02:22:20.000
live recordings professional live recordings before of songs that I

02:22:20.000 --> 02:22:24.000
prefer the live recording of the song I think also like

02:22:24.000 --> 02:22:28.000
as a piece of history to have some recordings from

02:22:28.000 --> 02:22:32.000
bands is cool do I think every single person in the audience

02:22:32.000 --> 02:22:36.000
needs to have their cell phone out recording aggressively no

02:22:36.000 --> 02:22:40.000
just enjoy the time concert when you know there's 40,000 other freaking

02:22:40.000 --> 02:22:44.000
recordings in the audience out maybe you don't need your individual POV

02:22:44.000 --> 02:22:48.000
and could have someone who's one foot to the side of you that's going to be posted

02:22:48.000 --> 02:22:52.000
on the internet anyways and just use theirs and enjoy yourself

02:22:52.000 --> 02:22:56.000
I know part of the experience to me too is like

02:22:56.000 --> 02:23:00.000
I like I wish the performers could could be themselves

02:23:00.000 --> 02:23:04.000
a little bit more and and not have to be worried about

02:23:04.000 --> 02:23:08.000
everything from the concert just immediately being published like

02:23:08.000 --> 02:23:12.000
the funniest concert experience I ever had was with Michael Buble of all people

02:23:12.000 --> 02:23:16.000
he did a perform an outdoor performance in Vancouver

02:23:16.000 --> 02:23:20.000
about must be about 20 years ago now

02:23:20.000 --> 02:23:24.000
and Yvonne and I attended it we just like kind of randomly got tickets

02:23:24.000 --> 02:23:28.000
for it I think my aunt might have gotten them for us or something I don't know anyway the point was we went

02:23:28.000 --> 02:23:32.000
neither of us were huge Michael Buble fans but we had a really great time

02:23:32.000 --> 02:23:36.000
and one of the funniest moments was when

02:23:36.000 --> 02:23:40.000
we were interacting with the crowd that was like right up next to the stage

02:23:40.000 --> 02:23:44.000
and this I couldn't see her because I was like way back but presumably

02:23:44.000 --> 02:23:48.000
young lady like you know handed him

02:23:48.000 --> 02:23:52.000
passed him like a note and he made like an offhand joke he was like you're like

02:23:52.000 --> 02:23:56.000
12 you're a little young and everyone

02:23:56.000 --> 02:24:00.000
like laughs because that was you know not

02:24:00.000 --> 02:24:04.000
I guess that was pre-epstein files when

02:24:04.000 --> 02:24:08.000
you know we could kind of go like yeah a famous person saying

02:24:08.000 --> 02:24:12.000
no to that was common at that time and and just like you know the

02:24:12.000 --> 02:24:16.000
idea that he might say anything other than no was funny and it was just it was

02:24:16.000 --> 02:24:20.000
but it was it was like hilarious and he just like kind of he kind of like

02:24:20.000 --> 02:24:24.000
burned her in front of like 10,000 people

02:24:24.000 --> 02:24:28.000
I don't know I don't know if you can get away with that anymore

02:24:28.000 --> 02:24:32.000
well

02:24:32.000 --> 02:24:36.000
yeah all right

02:24:36.000 --> 02:24:40.000
all right time for after dark

02:24:40.000 --> 02:24:44.000
what do you got for us Mr Dan sure let me just push some buttons here

02:24:44.000 --> 02:24:48.000
okay and yeah I've got a couple

02:24:48.000 --> 02:24:52.000
for you today sure really need to like make this

02:24:52.000 --> 02:24:56.000
one single button that would make my life easier there we go

02:24:56.000 --> 02:25:00.000
hey when hosters

02:25:00.000 --> 02:25:04.000
Linus any update on the gpd win 5 review also did the

02:25:04.000 --> 02:25:08.000
when design backpack sell well enough for a restock

02:25:08.000 --> 02:25:12.000
keep up the great work love your products and the work y'all do I don't know if I'm

02:25:12.000 --> 02:25:16.000
ultimately going to end up doing a review of it but I do end up talking

02:25:16.000 --> 02:25:20.000
a little bit more about my experience with it in the upcoming ShortCircuit

02:25:20.000 --> 02:25:24.000
for the 1x player apex

02:25:24.000 --> 02:25:28.000
that's a competing Strix Halo handheld and

02:25:28.000 --> 02:25:32.000
both of them have their own unique selling points both

02:25:32.000 --> 02:25:36.000
are very expensive this one actually can be configured with liquid

02:25:36.000 --> 02:25:40.000
cooling is that us which is pretty oh yeah of course

02:25:40.000 --> 02:25:44.000
which is pretty wild liquid cool I mean the people who have it apparently love it

02:25:44.000 --> 02:25:48.000
but is that to refuse oh no nine or something

02:25:48.000 --> 02:25:52.000
it's a pretty wild little device and I talk a little bit more about the win 5 in my

02:25:52.000 --> 02:25:56.000
experience daily driving it in there as for the when backpack I don't know

02:25:56.000 --> 02:26:00.000
if we're restocking it you might just have to send in a message to customer care to ask about that

02:26:00.000 --> 02:26:04.000
hello from the UK my Android auto seems

02:26:04.000 --> 02:26:08.000
very sensitive to cable quality hoping this cable is the solution

02:26:08.000 --> 02:26:12.000
have you had much feedback on the type of problems the true spec cables have

02:26:12.000 --> 02:26:16.000
actually yeah there's been a ton of feedback about them if you

02:26:16.000 --> 02:26:20.000
if you look at the reviews on the site people

02:26:20.000 --> 02:26:24.000
some of them I think people are actually wrong and misunderstanding

02:26:24.000 --> 02:26:28.000
like what a cable does but there are

02:26:28.000 --> 02:26:32.000
also a lot of them where people do seem to know what they're talking about

02:26:32.000 --> 02:26:36.000
is there like some that says their audio sounds better or something

02:26:36.000 --> 02:26:40.000
there's some stuff like that which look if it makes you happy then I like guess

02:26:40.000 --> 02:26:44.000
whatever I'm glad you're happy but that's not really how it works digital signal

02:26:44.000 --> 02:26:48.000
but there are people that are like oh yeah no like I was getting

02:26:48.000 --> 02:26:52.000
transfer issues with my high speed external storage and now it's

02:26:52.000 --> 02:26:56.000
consistently faster or the more robust build

02:26:56.000 --> 02:27:00.000
quality is making it so that when my Roomba runs over it it's

02:27:00.000 --> 02:27:04.000
less likely to you know get destroyed like people are really enjoying this product

02:27:04.000 --> 02:27:08.000
so I'm just I'm glad they are we had a small restock earlier this week they're like

02:27:08.000 --> 02:27:12.000
almost all gone now if you want to get a true

02:27:12.000 --> 02:27:16.000
spec cable you are going to need to sign up for a notification

02:27:16.000 --> 02:27:20.000
like if you do not click this button you are not going to get one for

02:27:20.000 --> 02:27:24.000
a while our manufacturer increased their capacity

02:27:24.000 --> 02:27:28.000
just for us to make more of these cables it is still not even close to enough

02:27:28.000 --> 02:27:32.000
there's A to C's yeah there's short ones there's a few

02:27:32.000 --> 02:27:36.000
short A to C's and a really long A to C and all the ones in the middle are sold out

02:27:36.000 --> 02:27:40.000
yeah yeah

02:27:40.000 --> 02:27:44.000
for you Luke what's your go to care oh wait can you do Luke's after yep

02:27:44.000 --> 02:27:48.000
hi LLD hey Linus now that your kids are getting into 3D printing what CAD software do they

02:27:48.000 --> 02:27:52.000
also did you teach them how to use it or how did they teach themselves

02:27:52.000 --> 02:27:56.000
it they learned Tinkercad at

02:27:56.000 --> 02:28:00.000
local sort of STEM mostly computer

02:28:00.000 --> 02:28:04.000
kind of study thing called Code Ninjas

02:28:04.000 --> 02:28:08.000
which seems to be working

02:28:08.000 --> 02:28:12.000
pretty well for them they can make just about any kind of basic thing that they want

02:28:12.000 --> 02:28:16.000
my daughter did something for a project for school

02:28:16.000 --> 02:28:20.000
earlier this week yeah they're just they're still having a really good time

02:28:20.000 --> 02:28:24.000
with it both just you know using it as a toy factory and also to

02:28:24.000 --> 02:28:28.000
do legitimately useful things and Tinkercad is great

02:28:28.000 --> 02:28:32.000
I think Grasshopper is that free can we get them into

02:28:32.000 --> 02:28:36.000
Grasshopper I mean I guess

02:28:36.000 --> 02:28:40.000
they know it better than I do at this point they could go work with Seb

02:28:40.000 --> 02:28:44.000
hey Linus my 5 year old just had his first dental

02:28:44.000 --> 02:28:48.000
work and managed to chew his lip up due to the anesthesia by accident

02:28:48.000 --> 02:28:52.000
how so are

02:28:52.000 --> 02:28:56.000
you these days is the end in sight actually really sore today

02:28:56.000 --> 02:29:00.000
it's really hard to talk I don't when I'm not getting enough sleep

02:29:00.000 --> 02:29:04.000
it they like dig in extra and then they put

02:29:04.000 --> 02:29:08.000
in a super strong wire for the one tooth that like stubbornly stayed really

02:29:08.000 --> 02:29:12.000
twisted after the first rounds and like the bracket was not quite in the right place and stuff

02:29:12.000 --> 02:29:16.000
so this tooth here yeah turned like maybe 15 degrees

02:29:16.000 --> 02:29:20.000
with this wire like a lot okay maybe 10 but like

02:29:20.000 --> 02:29:24.000
freaking a lot which moved like everything

02:29:24.000 --> 02:29:28.000
and it's like you can really tell when they're moving a lot because you'll like

02:29:28.000 --> 02:29:32.000
kind of press on the bracket and you can like you can like feel them

02:29:32.000 --> 02:29:36.000
like moving and like it'll go like

02:29:36.000 --> 02:29:40.000
kind of reshift and stuff like like in real time if there's a lot of tension built up

02:29:40.000 --> 02:29:44.000
and then the the wire for this one

02:29:44.000 --> 02:29:48.000
can see there's a long sand of wire just like

02:29:48.000 --> 02:29:52.000
slices the inside of the lip there and then there's another one on this side that's doing the same thing

02:29:52.000 --> 02:29:56.000
I'm actually like in extreme discomfort right now the WAN Show is not a lot

02:29:56.000 --> 02:30:00.000
of fun when my mouth is as sore as it is right now I have to bail Luke's gonna have to do

02:30:00.000 --> 02:30:04.000
this thing I really gotta go I got a family thing bye bye have fun don't forget your bag

02:30:04.000 --> 02:30:08.000
I see you walking past it say the line

02:30:08.000 --> 02:30:12.000
oh yeah I forgot we can do that nice

02:30:12.000 --> 02:30:16.000
Luke what's your go-to character build when you play Morrowind

02:30:16.000 --> 02:30:20.000
Skyrim etc question mark please know Stealth Archer

02:30:20.000 --> 02:30:24.000
okay well I have to defend myself a little bit it's Stealth Archer isn't it

02:30:24.000 --> 02:30:28.000
defend myself a little bit it's Stealth Archer when I was

02:30:28.000 --> 02:30:32.000
a wee child and I played Morrowind and I didn't look up things

02:30:32.000 --> 02:30:36.000
on the internet of how to do stuff and you still ended up with Stealth Archer

02:30:36.000 --> 02:30:40.000
but Stealth Archer was not Skyrim level OP

02:30:40.000 --> 02:30:44.000
back in Morrowind I watched a video today

02:30:44.000 --> 02:30:48.000
I think that was talking about how Skyrim pushes you

02:30:48.000 --> 02:30:52.000
through into being Stealth Archer it kinda does

02:30:52.000 --> 02:30:56.000
so I liked Stealth Archer before then and then in Skyrim I actually

02:30:56.000 --> 02:31:00.000
didn't I don't think

02:31:00.000 --> 02:31:04.000
or I did a mix or something because it kinda did feel too

02:31:04.000 --> 02:31:08.000
overpowered I always liked being Marshall

02:31:08.000 --> 02:31:12.000
I found spellcasters in those games are just like always too overpowered

02:31:12.000 --> 02:31:16.000
especially Morrowind

02:31:16.000 --> 02:31:20.000
spellcasting in Morrowind you're just a god

02:31:20.000 --> 02:31:24.000
especially if you start getting into enchanting in Morrowind

02:31:24.000 --> 02:31:28.000
I remember one of my characters I made I think it was a ring

02:31:28.000 --> 02:31:32.000
and I called it the god ring because if you just

02:31:32.000 --> 02:31:36.000
used the like activatable ability on the ring everything just died

02:31:36.000 --> 02:31:40.000
so I would be like oh I can't get past this quest I'll go

02:31:40.000 --> 02:31:44.000
grab that and put it on and just win the game so I found

02:31:44.000 --> 02:31:48.000
it more engaging to

02:31:48.000 --> 02:31:52.000
work with like block or parry mechanics I generally like having a shield

02:31:52.000 --> 02:31:56.000
because I feel like fighting with the shield is like kinda more fun

02:31:56.000 --> 02:32:00.000
but yeah I was always more into Marshall stuff I liked the archery in Morrowind

02:32:00.000 --> 02:32:04.000
because Morrowind doesn't play around if you end up in a too high level area

02:32:04.000 --> 02:32:08.000
it's just too high level and they'll just wreck you but it's also

02:32:08.000 --> 02:32:12.000
Morrowind so there might be a way around it and the AI is really dumb

02:32:12.000 --> 02:32:16.000
so like I wanted to like you know

02:32:16.000 --> 02:32:20.000
kill everything in entire city because I was 14 and that's sick

02:32:20.000 --> 02:32:24.000
but the guards and stuff are way too tough for me so I just

02:32:24.000 --> 02:32:28.000
brought an incredible amount of arrows and stood on like this weird part

02:32:28.000 --> 02:32:32.000
of a building that they couldn't get to and just shot them for like

02:32:32.000 --> 02:32:36.000
an incredible amount of time until I killed every single guard in the entire

02:32:36.000 --> 02:32:40.000
city and then got all their super high value loot and stuff so I liked

02:32:40.000 --> 02:32:44.000
archery and stuff early on but always focused on

02:32:44.000 --> 02:32:48.000
always focused on Marshall builds I'm planning on doing a

02:32:48.000 --> 02:32:52.000
thing I was kinda dabbling with it a little bit in the oblivion remake

02:32:52.000 --> 02:32:56.000
but I'm gonna wait until the fan remake mod

02:32:56.000 --> 02:33:00.000
version called SkyBluvian comes out and then I'm gonna actually

02:33:00.000 --> 02:33:04.000
try to do it because I'm much more interested in SkyBluvian than just the official

02:33:04.000 --> 02:33:08.000
Blizzard remake but I'm gonna do a thing where you know how in the game you pick a class

02:33:08.000 --> 02:33:12.000
you pick what sign you were born under you do all that kind of stuff I'm gonna pick

02:33:12.000 --> 02:33:16.000
warrior for every single option because you can pick the warrior class you can pick the warrior

02:33:16.000 --> 02:33:20.000
sign you can pick the warrior whatever so I'm gonna do as many selections as I can it's just

02:33:20.000 --> 02:33:24.000
warrior and then the only magic that I'll use is restoration

02:33:24.000 --> 02:33:28.000
magic and I'm gonna see if I can beat the game while

02:33:28.000 --> 02:33:32.000
kill on sighting anything that ever casts a spell

02:33:32.000 --> 02:33:36.000
that isn't restoration magic if you use any school of magic

02:33:36.000 --> 02:33:40.000
other than restoration I will have to cleanse you from the earth and I'll see if it's

02:33:40.000 --> 02:33:44.000
literally possible at all

02:33:44.000 --> 02:33:48.000
you're doing it with like punching or sword or...

02:33:48.000 --> 02:33:52.000
yeah I'm a holy knight and if I see you casting a darn spell

02:33:52.000 --> 02:33:56.000
that isn't restoration magic I gotta put you

02:33:56.000 --> 02:34:00.000
down I told you about my punches and drugs Skyrim build

02:34:00.000 --> 02:34:04.000
character yeah that's surprisingly possible in Skyrim because Skyrim has some really

02:34:04.000 --> 02:34:08.000
good that's why it's possible it's also super broken

02:34:08.000 --> 02:34:12.000
it's just like high level bracers and then you just punch dragons to death it's like

02:34:12.000 --> 02:34:16.000
that's my it's even like rifting or something right

02:34:16.000 --> 02:34:20.000
you just sit there and you just make bracers and then you just punch everybody

02:34:20.000 --> 02:34:24.000
to death um because you're unarmed and

02:34:24.000 --> 02:34:28.000
your bracers are really good crafting in those games are always a mess

02:34:28.000 --> 02:34:32.000
oh yeah blizzard remake oh sure Bethesda that's my

02:34:32.000 --> 02:34:36.000
stealth archer I can't not to do that sure yeah there's fun ways to

02:34:36.000 --> 02:34:40.000
play the game I even think stealth archer can be fun it's just fun one time

02:34:40.000 --> 02:34:44.000
I think what happens is people want to play something different and then they just

02:34:44.000 --> 02:34:48.000
accidentally it's like crabs everything evolves into a crab

02:34:48.000 --> 02:34:52.000
everything also evolves into a stealth archer pretty much um like you

02:34:52.000 --> 02:34:56.000
usually have it as a fallback it's just it's so overpowered

02:34:56.000 --> 02:35:00.000
I always wish actual stealth was like a little bit more

02:35:00.000 --> 02:35:04.000
viable in those games so you could be like a dagger build

02:35:04.000 --> 02:35:08.000
that was more yeah viable I guess

02:35:08.000 --> 02:35:12.000
but yeah usually I end up being some form of Marshall either like

02:35:12.000 --> 02:35:16.000
a two handed weapon or one handed

02:35:16.000 --> 02:35:20.000
shield or just both

02:35:20.000 --> 02:35:24.000
yeah yeah I think

02:35:24.000 --> 02:35:28.000
that's it I guess we can call them yeah hold on a second

02:35:28.000 --> 02:35:32.000
let's see

02:35:32.000 --> 02:35:36.000
alright we're trying

02:35:36.000 --> 02:35:40.000
you like my dbrands game

02:35:40.000 --> 02:35:44.000
hello hello you gotta sign us off

02:35:44.000 --> 02:35:48.000
oh yeah before I do we gotta figure

02:35:48.000 --> 02:35:52.000
out the details around the Wansho channel I think we

02:35:52.000 --> 02:35:56.000
may not be able to have the transition be as long as we had originally

02:35:56.000 --> 02:36:00.000
intended because there's just like duplicate vods I think we might have to

02:36:00.000 --> 02:36:04.000
accelerate this so just throwing that out there make sure

02:36:04.000 --> 02:36:08.000
you're subscribed to the Wansho channel because we may have to stop streaming

02:36:08.000 --> 02:36:12.000
on the LTT channel sooner rather than later we'll see you again next week

02:36:12.000 --> 02:36:16.000
same bad time

02:36:16.000 --> 02:36:20.000
next week wow okay alright bye

02:36:20.000 --> 02:36:24.000
okay see ya

02:36:42.000 --> 02:36:45.000
