WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.840
Oh, shoot. Did I start chewing something the second we went live to the floaters?

00:00:06.720 --> 00:00:11.520
Nice. I should open things. What am I doing? Classic line.

00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:15.040
I mean, like 45 minutes ago, but sure.

00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:24.600
In fairness to you, my brain is no more functional 45 minutes after I've woken up, but whatever, I'm still gonna dunk on you.

00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:28.840
Yeah. This delay is gonna be bad.

00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:30.920
I don't know why it's so bad.

00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:37.240
I might I'm honestly I'm pretty stoked. It's working at all. This is the the hotel Wi-Fi.

00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:42.200
Doing this, I actually think yeah, but just like source for it. You sound retarded

00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:48.040
Like delay like delayed like your sound is okay. That didn't no, that's not right

00:00:48.680 --> 00:00:53.640
That's not right luke. I mean that is a word that I've been seeing a lot over the last week

00:00:54.120 --> 00:00:57.080
Oh, yeah, because you're in you're on france

00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:02.840
Yeah, so it's just a thing here. Yep. Um, yeah

00:01:06.600 --> 00:01:08.760
Whoa, starling the headers

00:01:09.720 --> 00:01:16.520
Huh, would starlink be faster? I actually think that there's some latency that I'm introducing as well

00:01:17.240 --> 00:01:21.240
Interesting because when I switched to my second sub mix to monitor

00:01:21.960 --> 00:01:25.560
V mix output, there's quite an extra level of delay

00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:32.440
Oh interesting that is probably where it's coming from because this doesn't sound like I mean it just jumped up to 252 milliseconds

00:01:32.520 --> 00:01:34.920
But yeah, like that's really high. It shouldn't sound like

00:01:36.360 --> 00:01:42.040
This at 162 milliseconds. It's going to be bad but not like that bad or as not as bad as it is

00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:48.760
Hmm something to look at for next time luke is in france

00:01:49.720 --> 00:01:52.360
In france even the internet goes on strike

00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:56.680
I'm occur in the chat

00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:05.560
Hey, look, I will say one of the first things we didn't know we didn't know it happened because we didn't get any letters

00:02:07.880 --> 00:02:13.020
Hey, hey casual canada casual canada post on strike reference

00:02:19.720 --> 00:02:21.720
What were you gonna say luke

00:02:22.920 --> 00:02:28.600
One of the first things I saw when I got here was I I came into the hotel and right next to the elevator there was a

00:02:29.160 --> 00:02:35.800
There was a sign that listed the the protests that were happening and when and where so that you could avoid them as a tourist

00:02:41.720 --> 00:02:45.480
Shrack says if luke just runs around yelling in german he can get whatever he wants

00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:47.960
Wow

00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:51.080
Oof

00:02:56.920 --> 00:03:02.600
Why is a pre-show so edgy Dan? What did you do? I don't know. I don't know man

00:03:06.600 --> 00:03:11.400
It's all the jpeg artifacts how did luke get a hotel with ShortCircuit wallpaper?

00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:14.360
Debranding oh my god

00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.520
Well it has to be perfect every single time

00:03:26.920 --> 00:03:28.920
Um

00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:40.280
One of you saw the merge message message dashboard living in the chat sythe asks what I'm eating

00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:43.960
Oh

00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:48.840
It's an oldie but a goodie

00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:20.280
I Yeah, well definitely be talking about hexos. I finally got to try it dude. Oh, no, no, I'm saving it

00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:26.760
That's actually pretty exciting I'm excited to hear about that

00:04:26.760 --> 00:04:30.760
Black cream roll says ordered the backpack bundle and mouse pad today and going bankrupt boys

00:04:30.840 --> 00:04:35.240
Yeah, you and a lot of people dude. It's been a it's been a pretty wild black friday

00:04:36.760 --> 00:04:41.240
I've been seeing some of them stats man. Yeah, the black is not in your bank accounts. I'll tell you that much

00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:44.360
I

00:04:45.960 --> 00:04:51.720
Well, what what I It's Dan. It's well look what you've done Dan

00:04:54.440 --> 00:04:58.760
This show's gonna be Are you 80s madonna? What is this? I'm wearing black

00:05:00.440 --> 00:05:07.320
It's black friday It's gotta gotta be on my balance sheet and my and my body my body sheet

00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:10.360
Clothes why more backpacks?

00:05:11.640 --> 00:05:13.640
I

00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:19.560
Haven't had any Actually, no, I'm gonna save that for the show as well

00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:26.440
But I have some I have some feedback on LTT Store items that I have used on this trip

00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:35.160
Like good feedback or bad. Well, you'll have to you'll have to see must be bad. Otherwise you'd just tell me

00:05:37.960 --> 00:05:39.960
No, it's actually quite good. Um

00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:45.880
I wonder if it's on sale if the thing that I specifically talking about is not on sale

00:05:45.880 --> 00:05:48.520
Then I'll just talk about it now because it doesn't really matter. Uh

00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:54.280
I mean if it's not on sale, it's better because it means we might actually make money on it

00:05:58.200 --> 00:06:01.480
It's not on sale so I could I could save yeah save it

00:06:02.760 --> 00:06:05.800
Oh, but it's sold out damn. Okay. What is it?

00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:11.160
The 3d down jacket. Oh, yeah, I love the 3d down jacket. No, it's not coming back

00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:16.360
I used it quite literally every single day in every scenario including snowboarding

00:06:18.280 --> 00:06:22.920
Because it has those cinches on the bottom I'm so jealous literally my adc

00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:28.840
Yeah The the only thing I changed when I went snowboarding was I put a sweater under it

00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.040
And it was perfect. Yeah, it's a great jacket

00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:37.400
No, sorry, Johnny. Johnny B is not coming back. It just didn't sell well enough

00:06:37.640 --> 00:06:41.560
We've had a really hard time with like high price garments. Um

00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:50.360
We've done really well with like screwdriver with the backpack, but um like jackets like outerwear has been a real struggle for us

00:06:52.280 --> 00:06:58.600
3d down is not coming back. No, so take good care of yourself. That's actually genuinely sad

00:06:59.400 --> 00:07:04.120
I mean I mean never say never never say never, but yeah, no

00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.760
I've said this a billion times, but it's like quite genuinely

00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:14.680
The best jacket I've ever owned and by like a insanely huge margin

00:07:14.760 --> 00:07:18.600
It's like not even sort of close. I wish more people at least tried it

00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:24.600
I think that's our biggest problem with things like that. Yeah is a backpack. It's it's a lot easier to assume

00:07:25.320 --> 00:07:29.720
How well it's gonna fit on you, right? Something like a jacket. I can understand

00:07:30.440 --> 00:07:35.560
Buying something that expensive without being able to try it on being really nerve-wracking

00:07:36.280 --> 00:07:43.400
Um, but I really wish people could have tried it because it's it's it's like actually genuinely incredibly good. Yeah, I really like it

00:07:44.440 --> 00:07:46.440
I actually really like the windbreaker too

00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:52.360
I forget if we called it windbreaker or something, but I really really like that one just that nice waterproof shell

00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:57.960
What's the orange reversible one called bomber jacket? Yeah, I got one of those recently. It's been really nice

00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:02.600
Yeah, man people wear that around the office and sometimes I forget it's our merch because I don't have one

00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.160
Um, and I'll just be like man, that's a nice job. Oh, right

00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.800
James has money wears it all the time. I've been meaning to invert it into orange. It's reversible. Yeah. Yeah

00:08:15.880 --> 00:08:19.400
Uh, okay, should we uh, should we do this thing? Sure. Yeah, we're waiting for

00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:24.200
Actually, yeah, no, I'm gonna go pee. I'll go pee and then I'll be back and then I'm good to go

00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:29.240
Is this is this really the doc? Hold on. Are are there still some things being added to the doc?

00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:32.200
Oh, no. Yeah. Oh, it was just an old version loaded

00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.160
Oh, there's like one topic. Okay. One sec. I'll be right back

00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:44.600
Uh, the mystery shirts should be our own garments at this point. I don't think we have any american apparel left

00:08:44.680 --> 00:08:46.680
But don't quote me on that

00:08:49.640 --> 00:08:51.640
You

00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:56.440
Do some christmas there are some uh black friday shopping again

00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:03.480
Uh, no because I don't need things and technically if you buy something on sale and you weren't spending

00:09:03.640 --> 00:09:06.280
We weren't planning to spend the money. You didn't actually save any money

00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:14.600
That is very true There is a few things that I was planning on spending money on though and I've been waiting for months for black friday

00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:21.320
So it has worked out for me Yeah, I always forget about black friday and forget about like planning to buy things

00:09:21.800 --> 00:09:29.000
I mean, I want some more like storage bins or something like that But normally I just go to home depot and buy like shoe holders and then put parts in them

00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:35.000
Um, I found that like the to-go food container things you can buy from cosco

00:09:35.560 --> 00:09:43.400
Work really really well as parts organizers And they're super cheap because restaurants would buy them and then basically they're just disposable plastics. So

00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:46.360
Yeah, fair enough

00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:49.480
I don't know they're like eight dollars

00:10:13.640 --> 00:10:16.520
Something that I wasn't planning on buying and I won't be buying but is

00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:25.000
crazy Is the the steam deck is 15% off making it 373 canadian that's nuts

00:10:26.760 --> 00:10:31.640
That is actually insane That's crazy

00:10:33.400 --> 00:10:35.400
Oh my god

00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:40.600
373 bucks worth steam deck

00:10:43.560 --> 00:10:45.560
Like how much is a switch?

00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:53.000
Best buy canada access denied

00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:59.960
They do a white edition man, I should get a white one terabyte. Oh, that would be kind of fun

00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:07.240
I think that's a oh, it's out of stock. Damn it. Yeah, never mind

00:11:09.160 --> 00:11:11.880
I don't need a steam deck

00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:16.280
It's nobody needed. Yeah, stop it Dan. The steam deck is out of stock

00:11:16.760 --> 00:11:21.720
The special order white the white one. I was pointing out that the steam deck is 15 off

00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:27.320
Which makes it less than 400 bucks canadian, which is just kind of crazy. It's a good deal. What is it?

00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:34.680
373 switch two is coming also. That's 280 us bucks if you have money for a handheld right now

00:11:36.040 --> 00:11:40.920
That's a good point Mind you, I don't know steam deck might still be more powerful

00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:47.320
I doubt it. I actually I genuinely doubt it. Uh, okay. All right

00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:51.400
Let me bring up the thing Bring up the panel

00:11:51.400 --> 00:11:58.680
so to speak Okay, youtube's ready. I believe everything else is ready

00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:04.520
I am Not going to be able to interact with you guys much

00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:11.080
No, yeah, I mean No, nine minutes. No, I already have 20. No

00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:18.200
No, I reject Then I'll do my best good

00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:28.600
I wonder where people get the idea from that I'm a complete asshole. I have no idea. I don't know. It's weird

00:12:28.920 --> 00:12:35.080
I did do they actually think that somebody like that would interact with us while we're live

00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:39.400
Or would they hide it and put it behind the scenes? Uh

00:12:39.640 --> 00:12:41.640
I don't know man. I

00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:48.200
The number of comments I've seen asking if I was actually completely unsupervised in dbrands factory. I'm just like

00:12:49.160 --> 00:12:51.160
Guys, it's a bit

00:12:52.680 --> 00:12:56.360
Like what I like flew all the way to toronto and I didn't like say hi to them

00:12:57.320 --> 00:12:59.640
Come on. Come on guys

00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:03.640
Come on guys. We should just lean into it

00:13:03.880 --> 00:13:11.400
I Mean I was allowed to walk around without an escort and that was

00:13:12.040 --> 00:13:16.280
Actually, how I found that they had one of our mouse pads. They did not tell me about that

00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:22.040
So that was that was real, but and maybe maybe part of it's my own problem, right because I I do

00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:25.560
Go out of my way to make the things that we do

00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:30.360
Very real, you know um

00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:35.720
And so yeah, maybe maybe part of it is that so much outlandish actually real stuff happens on our channel

00:13:35.800 --> 00:13:40.760
That it's really hard to tell the difference. Maybe maybe that's part of it and I'm just such a good actor

00:13:42.680 --> 00:13:44.680
Sure

00:13:47.880 --> 00:13:53.160
No, I don't think it's that I'm a good actor. I think it's that people just are generally very very not discerning

00:13:54.040 --> 00:14:00.200
Could be the number dude the number of likes on youtuber apology videos is all you need to know

00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:04.120
to figure out How good people's bs detectors are

00:14:04.680 --> 00:14:09.400
That's all you need to know. Everybody's calling you an ecotistical maniac. Oh, yeah, 100%

00:14:09.880 --> 00:14:13.160
100% also, I don't know anything about computers. Hashtag lieness

00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:20.200
Yep Did you keep the car? Uh, yeah, it would have been pretty tough to fit in my carry-on

00:14:20.280 --> 00:14:23.320
I'm sure if I asked them for it, I could have it. My kids are a little old for it now

00:14:25.560 --> 00:14:28.120
I genuinely fell for April Fool's 2020. Which one was that?

00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:37.400
If you did don't feel too bad because you weren't the only one but feel a little bit bad because all of our April Fool's are pretty, um

00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:44.200
Yeah, obvious Yeah, what was the 2020? Oh, that was that was lieness

00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:46.840
The one where I don't actually know anything

00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:53.560
Maybe I'm falling for their deception right now I

00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:57.080
That one was pretty funny. That was that one was pretty funny

00:14:57.880 --> 00:15:02.120
I think that might be the one that has the most views. Is that our highest viewed April Fool's?

00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:07.320
I can't believe no, no the the most recent one is our highest viewed. Oh, no

00:15:07.400 --> 00:15:11.320
No, the previous one the potato the potato farm one. Those are so good

00:15:12.280 --> 00:15:17.880
That makes sense. Oh, man Some of our April Fool. Oh, what no the server room catches fire actually has more

00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:26.120
Do they all get like two plus million views these days the one that's just a never-ending sponsor segway is the worst performing one, but we made

00:15:27.160 --> 00:15:31.240
So much money. That was such a cool. I think I bought the cheese for that

00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:37.800
Dude, we made can't remember even after you factor in the high cost of cheese these days. We made

00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:41.560
Like buckets of money. It was crazy

00:15:42.680 --> 00:15:45.560
Oh, this is curious the only fans one

00:15:46.520 --> 00:15:48.520
Doesn't even show up

00:15:50.280 --> 00:15:56.520
Check this out. Check this out. Yeah, I search for Linus April Fool's

00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:02.840
And they're all here except the only fans one

00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:08.040
We're at like gamer drinks. Oh, whoa. Oh, dude

00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:13.640
LMG clips talking about it that one here it is that one didn't get shadow bad

00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:18.840
Way down here. Oh, wait. Yeah. No, it shouldn't matter Linus April Fool. Yeah, it should be

00:16:19.400 --> 00:16:24.280
This keyword should do it, but it doesn't this is such a cursed thumbnail, dude

00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:30.520
Oh, yeah, the fact that it has this like white drop off the eggplant here is like beyond

00:16:31.800 --> 00:16:33.800
uncomfortable

00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:43.160
Hmm What is this face Dennis making here? Uh, okay. Anyway, why don't we um, why don't we do this thing?

00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:46.360
I

00:16:48.040 --> 00:16:54.360
Sorry, I know I don't think there's any plans to bring back the 3d down jacket with that said with that said I I have some thoughts on

00:16:55.720 --> 00:17:02.440
I have some thoughts after seeing this black friday about our product mix and I'll I'll talk to the team about it, but no promises

00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:05.720
No promises

00:17:06.760 --> 00:17:11.400
Um I totally understand if there's no business case for it. It just

00:17:12.280 --> 00:17:15.320
Genuinely makes me sad because it's I think one of our like

00:17:18.040 --> 00:17:23.560
Actually just bests like product products like there's I can't think of pretty much anything I'd want different on it

00:17:25.320 --> 00:17:27.320
It's fantastic

00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:32.200
Sorry, I just heard from um

00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:37.880
Hashtag, okay, okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna hit it. I'm gonna hit it. We're gonna do it

00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:41.880
All right, I'm resuming the selected now

00:18:08.760 --> 00:18:10.760
You

00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:19.880
What's up everyone happy black friday and welcome to the wend show

00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:24.520
Australia has actually no I don't care as much about this one

00:18:24.520 --> 00:18:35.640
It's really it's really interesting and it's really important But what I actually want to talk about is an influencer who is suing another influencer for infringing on her vibe

00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:42.520
I have so many thoughts on this actually luke. Um, hold on. I'm gonna need to can can

00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:46.520
Dan, can you can you get rid of luke for a second? There's a lot of beige

00:18:46.760 --> 00:18:51.640
There's a lot of beige in in luke's vibe right now and that could be infringing

00:18:52.600 --> 00:18:55.960
I would like to I'd like to avoid a loss actually hold on. I need these chairs

00:18:56.360 --> 00:19:00.520
I need these chairs out of the frame. There we go. Okay. We have a non-infringing dang it

00:19:01.320 --> 00:19:06.680
We have we have a non-infringing vibe Uh, okay. Oh perfect. That's great. Um

00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:12.280
The Labs did oh Man, we've got so many great topics this week

00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:18.840
Fine. The Labs did a super cool article about power supply efficiency ratings and how the power supply you buy

00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:24.200
Might actually be better than what you would think based on the label on the box. What else we got? Okay, Dan

00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:29.320
We can put everything back Australia banned social media for kids under 16

00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:34.040
and Gaming in the usa is about to get rather

00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:39.640
Terrifiable That's not funny. Oh, I think it's pretty right

00:19:40.600 --> 00:19:42.600
Oh

00:19:57.240 --> 00:20:01.960
The show is brought to you today by jump cloud LG and vessie

00:20:02.520 --> 00:20:08.680
and also our Laptop partner LG and of course deep friend and secret Labs

00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:14.520
who are our skin partner and uh, I wouldn't have skin without dbrand and also our chair partner

00:20:14.600 --> 00:20:19.080
Which Dan conveniently covered up with luke right as I was about to point at it way to go Dan

00:20:19.560 --> 00:20:24.920
Good timing as always. All right. Why don't we jump right into our headline topic for the day?

00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:29.320
Which I actually forget what it is Dan. Do you remember what it is? You're an advertisement

00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:38.600
Uh, oh Oh, yeah, we didn't even talk about that. It's going so well so far. That's awesome. Um, LTT Store

00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:49.000
has had three Sponsored creator videos go up this week. Um, including two long form videos and one short luke. Have you seen any of them?

00:20:50.360 --> 00:20:54.200
None you have seen none perfect. Uh, so

00:20:54.920 --> 00:21:00.280
We have it. We are all of our all of our influencer marketing is going up in reverse alphabetical order

00:21:00.600 --> 00:21:04.520
So it's going to start with zack builds and zack's tech turf

00:21:04.520 --> 00:21:09.400
And then we skip all the way to m wait are

00:21:10.120 --> 00:21:15.000
Yeah, go ahead. We do that on purpose. We wouldn't know why not even a little bit. No, no 100%

00:21:15.080 --> 00:21:18.200
No, no our third one is macho nacho productions

00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:23.080
And I'm pretty sure we would have been able to find at least one or two tech youtubers who are

00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:27.480
You know between zed and m. Anyway, check this out

00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:33.160
This is such a cool video has already got nearly half a million views from zack builds

00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:39.640
Obviously, I'm going to want you guys to go check out the entire video and not just the LTT product placement in it

00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:44.520
But but but watch this watch this watch this. Hold on. Wait for it. Wait for it. That was annoying

00:21:44.520 --> 00:21:52.440
I can't believe it didn't work from the factory Blah blah blah ready to keep pushing forward. He's don't worry. Something interesting is going to happen soon. Let me segue to our sponsor

00:21:53.320 --> 00:21:57.960
LTT Store.com let's go Let's go

00:21:58.280 --> 00:22:02.840
I gotta tell you I did send a rather terse email to the best

00:22:04.120 --> 00:22:09.000
When I saw this spot go live And the reason for that is that while

00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:18.200
Zach actually did an amazing job by the way This is incredible of showing off the screwdriver showing off everything that's good about it the strength of the magnet

00:22:18.600 --> 00:22:24.040
Um, the completeness of the kit, uh, he did just an outstanding job talking about the quality

00:22:24.040 --> 00:22:26.840
It's really well shot. The one thing that he didn't do

00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:30.120
Is use our screwdriver for the project

00:22:31.080 --> 00:22:33.080
Fortunately

00:22:34.120 --> 00:22:38.520
Fortunately the good news here is that

00:22:38.520 --> 00:22:45.080
in spite of any perceived beef that may exist on their side, uh, I have nothing against I fix it

00:22:46.280 --> 00:22:49.000
A huge huge advocate for for their

00:22:50.840 --> 00:22:59.720
For their mission and all of that Anyway, we just we didn't get to him in time and uh, he did say in the sponsor spot that if the screwdriver had gotten to him

00:23:00.120 --> 00:23:03.000
In time to do the project because it arrived after he'd done it

00:23:03.800 --> 00:23:10.920
Uh, yeah, I was like that's That's rough. All right. If it had gotten there in time to do the project

00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:16.120
He would have preferred to use it. He didn't say he really liked it. So that's that's really good to hear

00:23:16.520 --> 00:23:22.040
Um, anyway, I got I got I got a real kick out of that and I was like yo guys, um

00:23:23.080 --> 00:23:25.240
Look like it's fine, but like

00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:32.760
Really and they were like no no no no no no that's how it went down. Anyway, uh, so we also had a video go up with

00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:37.240
Zach Zach's tech turf. This one. I haven't actually watched yet. Uh, this one's a short

00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:45.000
Oh, wait, I didn't even know who it was, but I know the guy's face. I 100. Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry other zack

00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:49.000
Um, yeah, my bad. Anyway tools pc builders actually need

00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:54.200
A knife. All right fair enough cutters. Yep fair enough

00:23:55.160 --> 00:23:57.960
Most importantly screwdriver. Let's go

00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:07.720
Freakin awesome So that's our second one that went live. Oh, look at this. He's got a whole bunch of them

00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:15.640
Okay, that's pretty cool Uh, so that's the second one that went live and then uh, also, uh, macho nacho productions

00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:18.840
This is a really cool video. You guys are going to want to check this one out as well

00:24:19.320 --> 00:24:22.360
Nintendo never gave us a switch pro. So martyrs did

00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:27.480
Um, also just a really really nice really nice spot for the precision screwdriver

00:24:28.200 --> 00:24:34.520
And yes guys, I can see you in the comments. I hear you in the comments shrieking about us

00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:42.680
Uploading a promotional video With influencer marketing for a product you literally can't buy right now because it's out of stock

00:24:43.720 --> 00:24:46.680
Trust me. I don't like it any more than you do

00:24:47.320 --> 00:24:52.440
but Hey, look, okay. We're new to this. Okay, we're

00:24:54.440 --> 00:25:01.240
You can sign up for some newsletter about when it's going to be back in stock or something and I don't know nix said it was going to be

00:25:02.280 --> 00:25:04.280
December-ish maybe when they have more information

00:25:05.480 --> 00:25:08.440
It's such a classic like us problem

00:25:08.840 --> 00:25:13.960
I know that's the that's the exact type of thing that we would screw up that that's very on brand

00:25:14.120 --> 00:25:20.360
Yeah, so there's this great project as hype is as f and like you're gonna love it and like

00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:28.680
Yeah, I don't know what oh Yeah, too bad. Maybe it's our strat. Maybe just nobody consulted me and that's our strat

00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:36.280
You're going for the luxury product strat, you know, yeah, it's it's a it's the new berkin bag

00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:42.440
The LTT precision screwdriver. I gotta make an appointment for it, but you're not allowed to make appointments

00:25:42.600 --> 00:25:45.080
Yeah, put it in your put it in your loved one's stocking

00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:51.320
Next year hope that they don't need to screw anything together between now and then

00:25:52.360 --> 00:25:55.800
Anyway, you guys are gonna want to check this video out as well. Super cool

00:25:56.360 --> 00:26:02.680
Um, and yeah, I don't know what to say about this other than that go check out those videos

00:26:03.320 --> 00:26:08.680
Massive shout out to them for for working with us on this. I mean, obviously they didn't you know, nothing in life is free

00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:16.680
We we believe in paying people for their work So these are these are these are paid sponsorships as you guys would would expect from us

00:26:17.080 --> 00:26:21.000
And you can expect to see a lot more. We have a couple discussion questions

00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:25.320
The first one is does it feel weird to go full circle?

00:26:26.040 --> 00:26:29.160
from sponsored to sponsor, um

00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:35.720
And I gotta say I feel like I feel like this is hardly full circle so much as it's that I am

00:26:36.200 --> 00:26:39.800
Going in circles, right because I started out

00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:47.800
as just like, uh, like like a paid mouthpiece to make product videos for rich video merchandising on product pages

00:26:48.840 --> 00:26:57.720
And then made my way into like like like independent sort of opinion slash tutorials and guides and reviews

00:26:58.520 --> 00:27:01.880
while also maintaining the other thing in parallel and then

00:27:02.520 --> 00:27:10.600
Started doing sponsorships also in parallel to then creating products and like sponsoring myself

00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:17.080
To sponsoring others to splitting off the lab to be its own like independent media review thing to like

00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:21.640
I don't know. I just got I got a lot going on

00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:26.600
I got a lot going on over here. Um, but yeah, no, I you know, it feels kind of cool

00:27:27.560 --> 00:27:35.320
It's uh, it's um, it's not the same feeling as seeing the product get reviewed like independently reviewed

00:27:35.800 --> 00:27:40.040
um But I would say it's honestly kind of

00:27:40.760 --> 00:27:45.880
More fun in like a different way if that makes sense like it's just it's more surreal

00:27:46.520 --> 00:27:50.120
Right like it feels like an out-of-body experience a little bit

00:27:51.560 --> 00:27:55.880
If that is that kind of makes sense something that's been

00:27:55.880 --> 00:27:59.560
I mean, it's it's I've always had this reaction where like if I'm if I'm watching a youtube video

00:27:59.560 --> 00:28:03.960
And then I notice someone's wearing like one of our shirts or like one of our sweaters or something

00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:06.200
It's always like oh, whoa like it kind of it's

00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:10.120
It's jarring in a good way if that makes sense they get kind of

00:28:11.080 --> 00:28:15.240
I don't know you have to take a second to kind of absorb it, but now it's happening where

00:28:18.040 --> 00:28:23.240
Shirts as as much as I do like our shirts, you know, I'm I didn't even really think about it. I'm wearing one of them right now

00:28:24.120 --> 00:28:28.440
They they feel more on the merch side of things when someone's using one of the tools

00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:33.960
And they don't talk about it and they're not making like like it it feels like it wasn't a conscious decision

00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:37.240
It was just like no, this is just the best thing that I have for this

00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:41.640
Then it's it's it's almost a different form of reaction. I don't know it's kind of and like

00:28:42.200 --> 00:28:48.280
one thing that's really different about the sponsorship thing for me is that I've talked a lot about how I have a very

00:28:48.360 --> 00:28:54.360
Kind of limited schedule and I can't I don't have enough time to fill it with a ton of youtube

00:28:54.360 --> 00:28:59.560
I don't watch a ton of youtube. I don't really uh, I don't really sample my own products so to speak

00:29:00.520 --> 00:29:07.720
But I have felt compelled To watch these videos from the creators that we sponsor because and like look

00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:14.760
I would never because I've been on the other side of it I would never like give myself credit for their hard work

00:29:15.320 --> 00:29:18.520
But I do feel like we supported it right

00:29:19.160 --> 00:29:23.960
Like I feel like we helped Enable them to do what they do and it's it's

00:29:24.680 --> 00:29:33.320
It's a really different Feeling it shouldn't be. I mean we enable people to do their creative work all day every time Riley uploads TechLinked

00:29:33.560 --> 00:29:37.000
You know Linus media group incorporated has enabled something, you know

00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:44.040
That's what we literally do for a living But it feels a little different when it's these small

00:29:44.600 --> 00:29:50.440
Smaller creators or in some cases. I mean we've even sponsored creators that are arguably our size or bigger depending on the measure

00:29:50.840 --> 00:29:55.960
Right, but right. I don't know. It feels it's it's vibes. It's good vibes

00:29:56.840 --> 00:30:00.200
Yeah Yeah, I mean that makes sense. I mean especially when

00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:05.560
You know that's add sense on tech content isn't that amazing

00:30:05.800 --> 00:30:12.040
So at the end of the day a lot of what keeps the wheel going around is this kind of sponsored content

00:30:12.040 --> 00:30:15.560
So it's fun helping keep the wheel going around for other people as well

00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:20.440
And what's cool about that is that one of the things that we've made a conscious effort to do

00:30:20.520 --> 00:30:24.920
Over the last five years or so and maybe longer than that actually over over the years

00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:32.200
Is to is to diversify our sponsorships and make ourselves less dependent on the brands that we cover

00:30:32.600 --> 00:30:35.960
And that's a tough thing to do because especially when you're first starting out

00:30:36.760 --> 00:30:45.080
the advertisers target Whoever is the audience is that most overlap with the people who will buy their products which

00:30:45.560 --> 00:30:51.000
For reviewers obviously going to you're gonna you're gonna target the reviewers who are

00:30:51.800 --> 00:30:55.160
Making videos that viewers are watching that are reviews of their products, right?

00:30:55.160 --> 00:31:00.520
So you're gonna have this inherent kind of conflict and you can manage that you can mitigate that you can have good agreements

00:31:00.600 --> 00:31:09.000
You can have strong moral fiber a good character and you can and you can keep your editorial and your and your sponsored talking points separate

00:31:09.960 --> 00:31:16.280
But it's always going to be there. It's always going to be there and it's always going to mean that you're going to be dependent

00:31:17.400 --> 00:31:23.720
There's a hand that feeds you and there's there's gonna it's at least going to occur to you whether or not you should bite it and

00:31:24.600 --> 00:31:29.160
You might be an absolute Wild man like me and go out of your way to bite it

00:31:29.800 --> 00:31:36.600
Just for lulls like I mean the frame the framework secret shopper when I'd say is probably the best recent example of that

00:31:36.600 --> 00:31:45.000
We didn't have to do that Nerov has not even emailed me about it. He has not so much as acknowledged that video to me

00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:52.680
Which I think is really funny What about when it's your own hand? What about when you reviewed LTT Store? Yeah, I don't know. We're we're idiots

00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:56.360
honestly like we're we're kind of crazy um

00:31:56.360 --> 00:32:03.000
And you know what there's a lot of integrity like in the tech youtube space There's a lot of people that I think would do the same thing if they had the privilege but

00:32:03.800 --> 00:32:09.160
But this is something that they are not dependent on they don't depend on me for anything if anything

00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:13.320
I'm like a competitor or whatever right not not that I really see it that way

00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:21.400
But I'm more I'm more if they make me matter whatever like what drama drama builds audiences drama gets views

00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:27.000
I mean there's certainly plenty of examples of that in the tech space, right? So it's it's one of those things where like

00:32:27.880 --> 00:32:31.880
They have absolutely nothing to lose

00:32:32.120 --> 00:32:36.520
By like burning a sponsor relationship with me or whatever right and it makes them less dependent

00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:42.680
On tech sponsors that actually exist within the vertical that they cover. So that's something that's really cool to me

00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:45.400
I think that's probably if I had to nail it down

00:32:45.800 --> 00:32:50.600
I think that's the coolest thing is that we are enabling the same diversification

00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:55.080
That we have sought to achieve for ourselves

00:32:55.560 --> 00:33:00.840
And and that's a really that's a really healthy thing for the space to have sponsors that you don't

00:33:02.360 --> 00:33:05.480
Cover as well. That's that's that's the ideal

00:33:06.760 --> 00:33:10.120
Anyway, sorry, but what are we what are we supposed to be talking about? Yeah, so yeah, this is cool

00:33:10.120 --> 00:33:16.840
Oh our other discussion question Actually, maybe you can speak to this because I I think you're like you're doing a paid gig thing right now

00:33:16.840 --> 00:33:24.200
Like that's what you're in France for right? So yeah, the discussion question is can you talk about brand creator relationships?

00:33:24.280 --> 00:33:28.280
And how sponsorships even work does the brand reach out does the creator reach out?

00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:36.840
How does it wake? I mean it can work in both ways in regards to reaching out. Um, I I think

00:33:37.560 --> 00:33:42.600
Generally how we do it is you you have you have your pretty the business. You might kill me here

00:33:42.680 --> 00:33:47.000
Somebody say something wrong. So I don't know don't take this at my word, but you have some

00:33:47.880 --> 00:33:52.840
Partners that you've been working with for a long time And it's more like you talk to them near the beginning of the year near the beginning of the quarter

00:33:52.840 --> 00:33:56.600
Whatever you try to figure out like, okay, what is our approach going to be this time?

00:33:57.000 --> 00:34:01.560
Um, like how can we best work together this time? There's some amount of assumption that you're going to work together

00:34:01.880 --> 00:34:05.480
There's some like cold calling where you're reaching out to people seeing if you can work with them

00:34:05.560 --> 00:34:09.560
And then there's cold calling in our direction where people are reaching out to us seeing if they can work with us

00:34:10.120 --> 00:34:16.280
um In this particular case, I don't necessarily know what happened. I think being a review company having

00:34:17.160 --> 00:34:23.000
uh, relationships with Companies and make products has always been kind of interesting. Um

00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:32.120
Like what i'm in france for is ovh ovh we use as a company and have been using as a company for like genuinely close to a decade

00:34:32.520 --> 00:34:36.760
I think a decade Because the forum I think so. Yeah

00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:41.000
Yeah, wow, that's cool 10 years of partnership. Let's go

00:34:41.480 --> 00:34:46.520
Yeah, we've also used almost every one of their products, which is like kind of crazy

00:34:46.680 --> 00:34:51.400
Like we even at one point in time we used one of the products which is called so you start

00:34:51.720 --> 00:34:55.640
Which is like basically semi recycled like very old

00:34:56.200 --> 00:35:00.520
discount servers because that's I mean at one point in time that made sense for us, right?

00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:06.360
um So like that that that one's pretty easy because like when I when i'm here hosting with them

00:35:06.520 --> 00:35:11.960
It's I just get to talk about like I don't know the reason why I've been using them for basically a decade

00:35:12.040 --> 00:35:17.800
Which makes it pretty simple. There has been times where you know, I'll be pretty friendly with

00:35:18.760 --> 00:35:20.920
representatives from a certain company and then

00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:27.800
Uh, we do a review and then suddenly I mean I was still down to be friendly

00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:35.080
And then it becomes not very friendly anymore. Um, but that's just part of the playing field, right? Like you can't um

00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:40.600
You you can't let Whatever you have going on affect a review

00:35:41.160 --> 00:35:45.320
It doesn't matter like it's completely irrelevant at that point the second you're reviewing something

00:35:46.040 --> 00:35:51.320
You have to be completely impartial. So I mean I've I've lost people that I was friendly with

00:35:51.720 --> 00:35:57.880
Um, but it's it's part of the game. Um, and there's also been people like you just mentioned the framework thing, right? Like some people get it

00:35:58.840 --> 00:36:03.080
And they're just like, okay. Well, I'll take from this what I can and we keep moving forward, right? It doesn't matter

00:36:03.640 --> 00:36:08.200
And and then there's astro who never spoke to me again after this review

00:36:12.040 --> 00:36:16.600
Yeah Yeah, it's part of the it's part of the game. It is what it is. I don't know

00:36:17.160 --> 00:36:22.520
Yep, but you got to be yeah, you got to you got to be uh, you got to be willing to just kind of move forward like I think

00:36:23.640 --> 00:36:27.880
As much as I dog on them, which is part of the point of what I'm saying about to say

00:36:28.200 --> 00:36:31.880
Um, NVIDIA has grown up a lot over the last little bit

00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:38.440
We dog on them. We talk about the things that they do that we don't like, you know, we we tease their leather jacket

00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:44.680
Kitchen enjoying CEO, you know, we we like we talk about the the negative aspects

00:36:44.760 --> 00:36:49.160
I I think I've made it very clear. I think they're an extremely difficult company to work with

00:36:49.560 --> 00:36:53.400
I think they've got a an arrogance about them a chip on their shoulder that makes its way

00:36:53.960 --> 00:37:01.000
straight from the top But you know, I think we also acknowledge the good that they do we acknowledge the

00:37:01.640 --> 00:37:09.160
Extremely strong track record they have for product support for example NVIDIA's software support for their aging and legacy products

00:37:09.720 --> 00:37:17.160
stands out In an industry where many companies will just arbitrarily drop support for things

00:37:17.960 --> 00:37:24.440
Even that are quite new When they when they commit to something they they they follow through on it

00:37:24.440 --> 00:37:30.920
I mean even when it's obviously failing look at how long they stuck by 3d vision in spite of the fact that it was

00:37:31.800 --> 00:37:37.080
clearly Dead, but that ecosystem they built they supported it for a long time

00:37:37.160 --> 00:37:40.520
So we talk about the things they do bad we talk about the things that they do well

00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:43.960
and after a couple of years and someone who

00:37:44.680 --> 00:37:51.640
Did take things personally ultimately leaving the company under some circumstances that I I genuinely don't know what they were

00:37:51.640 --> 00:37:54.680
But they're not there anymore. They have come back to the table

00:37:54.760 --> 00:38:00.440
I think we're probably going to be working with them this coming year We've done some stuff with them in 2024

00:38:01.240 --> 00:38:04.840
And and that's good like that's a healthy thing for them to be able to be

00:38:05.560 --> 00:38:10.840
criticized on the one hand editorially and be able to work with us to

00:38:12.920 --> 00:38:20.520
On a like a you know sponsored or advertiser capacity to get their side of the messaging out if that's if that's what they want

00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:24.920
You got to have you got to have both of those things and if you want to reach our audience

00:38:24.920 --> 00:38:28.120
You're just going to have to accept that that's how it works. Uh Colton today

00:38:28.440 --> 00:38:33.320
I think I think this might end up in a behind the scenes that sammy was shooting Colton today brought up the time

00:38:33.320 --> 00:38:38.200
He had to get on a call with Intel right after I did that intro with like

00:38:39.080 --> 00:38:43.160
Me as like uh like a hostage like a terrorist hostage

00:38:44.200 --> 00:38:46.200
Yeah, do you remember this?

00:38:47.480 --> 00:38:52.520
No Um, yeah, but I don't I don't remember. Yeah, here it is. Here it is

00:38:53.160 --> 00:38:56.280
So we did this we did this bit where I

00:38:57.400 --> 00:39:00.680
I pretended that uh Here we go

00:39:00.680 --> 00:39:05.480
That Intel was holding me at gunpoint and I had to read a statement saying that their

00:39:06.200 --> 00:39:14.760
That their stuff was really good or whatever He had to get he had to get on a call with them like the day after that went live to smooth it over

00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:22.840
Oh, man, I can't believe the kind of stuff we've done over the years

00:39:26.120 --> 00:39:33.400
Like this is crazy. This is absolutely crazy. It's also really funny to me that I that I I

00:39:34.760 --> 00:39:38.760
That anyone even remotely

00:39:38.760 --> 00:39:44.520
Acknowledges people who are like, yeah Linus would never say anything negative about a sponsor or whatever like dude

00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:52.840
I Was I was explaining the the concept of I'm gonna I don't have a swear button

00:39:53.880 --> 00:40:01.560
manually bleep it but um I was explaining the concept of stuff manufacturers say the other day to somebody

00:40:02.440 --> 00:40:06.760
And they were like, wait, you guys actually did this and I like showed them a few of the videos. They're like

00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:08.920
What?

00:40:10.360 --> 00:40:14.120
Oh, yeah, dude, um, I think cooler master works with us again

00:40:14.120 --> 00:40:21.320
So I guess I can say this but the cooler master Like didn't talk to us for I think like a solid two or three years

00:40:21.800 --> 00:40:28.760
After that one on there. There's supposedly mechanical keyboard one from from the uh, manufacturers say series

00:40:29.400 --> 00:40:31.400
I remember that. Oh, that's hilarious

00:40:33.160 --> 00:40:37.960
I don't know man, but like I don't know. It is what it is. It doesn't matter. You gotta be

00:40:38.600 --> 00:40:43.960
The thing is the thing is look if you do your job well enough and I'm talking to my fellow content creators right now

00:40:43.960 --> 00:40:50.760
Okay, if you do the job well enough, it's not gonna matter who likes you or who doesn't like you because at the end of the day

00:40:51.320 --> 00:40:56.680
People come they go in this industry. They move around jobs. They move around positions

00:40:57.640 --> 00:41:05.800
If you're good enough, you'll still be there Doesn't matter. There's always there's always another there's always another chance to restart the relationship

00:41:06.040 --> 00:41:12.120
That doesn't mean that you should be malicious. You should never be malicious never do anything out of malice. That's not healthy either

00:41:12.440 --> 00:41:19.480
But you've got to speak your mind. You've got to you've got to be honest You've got to you've got to bring the the best knowledge that you have to your audience

00:41:19.480 --> 00:41:24.600
And as long as you do that the audience is going to be there for it And as long as the audience is going to be there for it

00:41:25.240 --> 00:41:31.480
The brands will always come crawling back Every single one part of this except apple

00:41:33.400 --> 00:41:35.400
Well, they were never there in the first place

00:41:37.400 --> 00:41:42.600
I think uh, I think an important part of this equation is that we need to come back to basically like

00:41:43.080 --> 00:41:48.440
If if someone scorns us, but then there's there's a change in the future that we need to do it as well

00:41:48.600 --> 00:41:55.400
Which we screwed something up If we screwed something up, then we should do what it takes to to heal the relationship as well

00:41:56.120 --> 00:41:58.120
Yeah, totally for sure

00:41:59.640 --> 00:42:07.560
G brand is most healthy sponsor relationship. Yeah, I don't know about that, but uh, definitely it works. It works in its own toxic way. Um

00:42:08.760 --> 00:42:11.880
All right, what do you want? What do you want to talk about next? What do you want to talk about next?

00:42:12.760 --> 00:42:15.480
Oh, uh, actually on this. Okay. No, go ahead

00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:21.560
I was gonna say the australia banned social media for kids under 16. Let's do it

00:42:23.160 --> 00:42:29.720
Do you want me to do it? I don't know how the latency is is yeah, it's like it's like a two second delay, but uh, you go ahead

00:42:30.600 --> 00:42:32.600
All right. All right, so that's really has passed. It's

00:42:36.600 --> 00:42:42.200
Stop it, you know to do that on purpose. Um, he's sorry about that austra

00:42:46.520 --> 00:42:53.320
Australia's fastest controversial social media ban for children under 16 into law only a week after being released

00:42:53.560 --> 00:42:57.800
That's genuinely kind of nuts Rather than punishing children who managed to get around it

00:42:57.960 --> 00:43:05.320
Which many are already promising to do the law compels platforms like tiktok facebook snapchat instagram x and even reddit

00:43:05.560 --> 00:43:12.040
To find some way to block access by minors, which doesn't involve requiring government ID, which is good

00:43:12.040 --> 00:43:14.040
Ask them to write in cursive

00:43:15.800 --> 00:43:19.240
That would uh, that would probably work. Um until you get an ai that can like

00:43:20.200 --> 00:43:24.840
I mean, it wouldn't even need to be an ai just like a font system. Anyways, uh, social media sites

00:43:25.480 --> 00:43:34.040
Possibly any website that allows uh interaction between users. So any any like yeah social media site ugc site stuff like that. Um

00:43:36.040 --> 00:43:43.720
Could face fines of up to 33 million us dollars for systemic failures to prevent children under 16 from holding accounts

00:43:46.360 --> 00:43:48.360
Oh crap

00:43:49.800 --> 00:43:53.000
Wait, what are we a social media platform by this definition?

00:43:53.720 --> 00:43:58.440
We have multiple of them What do you mean multiple? What other than Floatplane?

00:43:59.160 --> 00:44:02.520
The forum Oh

00:44:02.520 --> 00:44:07.080
Oh, no for no forms not so I really hope there's some amount of like

00:44:07.720 --> 00:44:11.720
It only comes into account. What's your certain size because if not, we're gonna have to figure something out

00:44:13.640 --> 00:44:16.140
Because that's a lot of money anyways

00:44:20.200 --> 00:44:22.200
The government says that the law

00:44:25.560 --> 00:44:28.440
33 million usd australian does not how that works

00:44:29.320 --> 00:44:32.920
Oh, it's 33 million australian dollars. Okay. Okay. So like 20 bucks

00:44:34.840 --> 00:44:40.360
Not too bad not too bad or or like 300 million canadian. Yeah cost of doing business

00:44:42.120 --> 00:44:48.520
The government says that the law supports parents concerned about online harms to their children while opponents are concerned

00:44:48.680 --> 00:44:50.840
The ban could negatively impact mental health

00:44:51.880 --> 00:44:57.000
By cutting vulnerable young people off from support networks. Oh, wow

00:44:57.080 --> 00:45:04.760
Interesting. Wow, there's a lot to unpack there because like yeah, social media does allow us to connect with each other

00:45:05.400 --> 00:45:07.400
but the problem is that

00:45:08.680 --> 00:45:12.600
Each other are a lot of the time so like

00:45:12.600 --> 00:45:17.400
Man, it's like, I'm oh man. Are you better off strongly of the opinion that it

00:45:18.520 --> 00:45:20.520
Does a lot more harm than it prevents

00:45:22.520 --> 00:45:28.680
This is tough. Okay, go ahead I'm sure I'm sure it will hurt for certain people though. I don't know. Anyways, um

00:45:30.920 --> 00:45:33.880
Privacy advocates warned that, um

00:45:35.400 --> 00:45:41.160
But it's moving around sorry once like privacy advocates warned the law would lead to increased collection of personal information

00:45:41.400 --> 00:45:48.280
While the australian human rights commission said the law may infringe human rights of young people by interfering with their

00:45:48.760 --> 00:45:53.160
Society man. These are some wild arguments. But like hold on hold on

00:45:54.040 --> 00:46:03.480
Is that true? Like are you able to participate in modern society? And remember remember remember forever like people's society

00:46:03.960 --> 00:46:12.680
is defined By their way of interacting with it if if your way of interacting with people is through social media if that's your cohort

00:46:13.720 --> 00:46:17.000
Is there a valid argument there? I I think there might be

00:46:19.400 --> 00:46:25.560
No Why I don't I don't think so. I I think my reasoning for that is because

00:46:26.040 --> 00:46:28.680
You're not going to stop interacting with your peers

00:46:29.160 --> 00:46:33.960
So if they ban social media, you will find some other way to interact with your peers

00:46:33.960 --> 00:46:37.320
You're not you're not stopped from interacting with society. You're

00:46:38.120 --> 00:46:45.560
Being stopped from interacting with society Uh with a society of specifically adults and in one specific way

00:46:46.040 --> 00:46:50.600
You can still observe because you could still like go on youtube. I'm sure

00:46:51.480 --> 00:46:55.080
Because it's talking about making accounts. It's not talking about using the platform

00:46:55.320 --> 00:46:58.600
So you could still look at reddit. You could still look at youtube

00:46:58.920 --> 00:47:01.720
You just can't interact with it, which I think is fine

00:47:02.040 --> 00:47:06.040
And then in regards to participating in society, you can still talk to other people

00:47:06.200 --> 00:47:11.880
You can you can I'm you can call your friend. You can talk to your friend in person. Um, I think that's a

00:47:12.760 --> 00:47:21.400
a massive Overreach of what's actually happening to say that they're being like cutting cut off from interacting with society. That's not fair

00:47:21.800 --> 00:47:25.720
um And I I think in some ways, honestly

00:47:27.240 --> 00:47:31.080
Especially when you have developing brains and whatnot, you don't necessarily want

00:47:31.560 --> 00:47:35.400
Uh all forms of society being shoved into your head all at the same time

00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:42.520
I I think there's arguments that that's bad for for currently evolved humans of all ages to a certain degree

00:47:42.840 --> 00:47:45.560
Um, let me let me play devil's advocate here for a second

00:47:46.440 --> 00:47:48.440
I would say that probably

00:47:49.560 --> 00:47:53.640
95 percent of my eldest's

00:47:54.520 --> 00:48:00.600
social interaction Um, when he's at home is on discord discord is

00:48:01.880 --> 00:48:05.320
Obviously social media. It's not on the list here

00:48:05.400 --> 00:48:10.040
But I would I would assume that it would be someone's going to figure out at some point that it's social media

00:48:10.040 --> 00:48:16.840
So it'll probably be added to the list and the problem with that is that the infrastructure that existed

00:48:17.560 --> 00:48:22.040
before discord Doesn't exist anymore

00:48:22.040 --> 00:48:26.360
Like there is still there. No. No. No. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. No. No. No. No. Hold on. Hold on

00:48:26.520 --> 00:48:32.200
I'm going even farther back than that even farther back than that because team speak would still be a social platform potentially

00:48:32.680 --> 00:48:35.160
Uh, so we got to go farther back than that the landline

00:48:36.040 --> 00:48:38.920
Is not part of the family home anymore

00:48:39.400 --> 00:48:46.120
Like there is no way even if i'm like here son or daughter borrow my cellular telephone

00:48:46.840 --> 00:48:52.600
There's no one for them to call It's weird like it is it's it's it's not taboo

00:48:53.080 --> 00:48:57.480
But it's not normal for you know one of my kids friends

00:48:57.960 --> 00:49:01.880
To call my phone that would be not normal that would be weird

00:49:02.120 --> 00:49:06.120
Like we have these boundaries that exist around cell phones

00:49:06.520 --> 00:49:11.640
That sort of come from the time when the cell phone was separate from the landline home phone

00:49:11.880 --> 00:49:17.640
But those landline home phones went away. There is no phone number for my kids to call to talk to their friends

00:49:17.880 --> 00:49:19.880
So if they don't interact online

00:49:21.480 --> 00:49:25.960
How do they talk to them when they aren't at school together when they aren't already in the same physical room?

00:49:25.960 --> 00:49:31.160
And i'm not saying there is that this is insurmountable. I'm just i'm playing devil's advocate a little bit here on purpose

00:49:31.640 --> 00:49:34.840
Because yeah, because for better or for worse

00:49:35.640 --> 00:49:41.800
This is the communication lifeline that they have to each other that they're used to and cold turkey

00:49:42.920 --> 00:49:44.920
May not be ideal

00:49:47.080 --> 00:49:53.880
And i have got a few opinions on this i think if you look at the list of things that they mentioned

00:49:54.040 --> 00:50:00.120
I don't necessarily know That discord would be on there. I think it would be

00:50:01.240 --> 00:50:05.400
But i'm not certain because tiktok facebook snapchat instagram x

00:50:06.040 --> 00:50:10.440
Reddit all of these are big feeds of information you jump on

00:50:11.080 --> 00:50:18.600
It's forcing content into your face something like team speak especially but also discord you are more

00:50:19.400 --> 00:50:23.640
Joining things if when you set up discord by default, there's nothing

00:50:25.320 --> 00:50:30.360
And then you join a server right there's there's some there's some action that you have to take on x

00:50:30.680 --> 00:50:33.960
Or whatever there's there's like a there's a home feed on reddit

00:50:33.960 --> 00:50:40.120
There's a home feed facebook home feed tiktok home feed all of these things have a feed of information that is given to you no matter what

00:50:41.560 --> 00:50:47.080
I think it's different. I don't know how this law would view discord. Maybe it is included

00:50:47.080 --> 00:50:52.040
Maybe it's not but something that I would really push is that I guarantee you

00:50:52.920 --> 00:50:57.800
day zero People are going to figure out how to interact with each other in some way

00:50:58.680 --> 00:51:04.600
I think the the comment that you made and one of the comments in here talking about how they can't participate in society

00:51:04.920 --> 00:51:10.600
Are both assuming that humans somehow for some reason for the first time in

00:51:11.080 --> 00:51:17.000
However many years you believe in Decided to stop innovating which just makes no actual sense

00:51:17.960 --> 00:51:20.760
Like people are going to communicate. There's there's going to be a way

00:51:22.680 --> 00:51:25.480
So i'm not i'm not personally super concerned about that

00:51:25.960 --> 00:51:29.960
Um Yeah, I don't know. I think there'll be growing pains for sure

00:51:30.040 --> 00:51:35.960
I think you underestimate the the inertia of being used to something I completely no I completely

00:51:36.520 --> 00:51:41.880
I think there will be growing pains 100% What what my whole day zero thing wasn't like it'll be good day zero

00:51:42.040 --> 00:51:45.720
My point was that people will be trying things working on things day zero

00:51:45.960 --> 00:51:51.800
It might take a pretty considerable amount of time Um, but I also think that that's okay. I don't think that we should

00:51:52.280 --> 00:51:56.040
Not do things because there is any amount of downside

00:51:56.440 --> 00:51:58.920
um, I think we should recognize that there is a

00:51:59.720 --> 00:52:01.720
immense and extremely deep

00:52:02.920 --> 00:52:06.120
deeply rooted negative impact of having

00:52:06.680 --> 00:52:09.320
um kids on social media, um

00:52:10.200 --> 00:52:15.560
I I think it's I think social media of all kinds is is genuinely like a negative thing

00:52:16.040 --> 00:52:19.160
For for a lot of society. I think there are positives to it

00:52:19.400 --> 00:52:25.560
But I I I do think for the most part it it negatively weighs on a lot of people doom scrolling

00:52:26.440 --> 00:52:28.440
you know if you have a

00:52:29.480 --> 00:52:34.120
There's this whole concept that like relaxation and rest is actually very important

00:52:34.680 --> 00:52:37.640
and there's there's been

00:52:38.200 --> 00:52:41.640
Some studies i'm looking into this recently that people aren't receiving

00:52:42.520 --> 00:52:47.640
The amount of relaxation and rest that they should have because you're you're going to work in stressing

00:52:48.280 --> 00:52:52.600
And then you're coming home and your your rest time is

00:52:53.240 --> 00:53:03.720
Actually like hyper stimulated Etc, which is extreme stimulation and extreme stress because the stuff that's working really well on those platforms is is negativity

00:53:03.720 --> 00:53:11.880
It's really bad news. It's all these it's it's fighting It's you know when you when you work and you have a stressful day and then you go home and you fight people on twitter

00:53:12.280 --> 00:53:19.720
You're not resting Uh, here's a here's a pitch. He's stressed out. Here's a pitch from full plane chat. Um from alon

00:53:20.920 --> 00:53:24.120
What if they banned algorithmic social media?

00:53:25.240 --> 00:53:31.000
Rather than just social media in general because if you strip away the algorithm element of it

00:53:31.560 --> 00:53:37.880
Um, I mean it's basically just you could draw a lot of parallels to something like a discord or an iMessage group chat or a forum

00:53:38.840 --> 00:53:45.640
I mean is twitter really that different from a forum at that point, right? You've got a you've got a parent

00:53:46.520 --> 00:53:54.520
Post and then you've got a thread of replies Fundamentally you can you could DM other people in the replies. You know like I actually do think it is

00:53:54.840 --> 00:54:00.280
I do I do think it's quite different and that that's why I was saying like I don't technically know when looking at this

00:54:01.000 --> 00:54:04.440
if um things like discord count because

00:54:05.000 --> 00:54:12.760
um, there's a so okay algorithmic Sure, but on stuff like x or twitter or whatever. There's a global feed

00:54:13.560 --> 00:54:19.960
Um on stuff like facebook. There's there's global information if there was a way to use facebook where it only

00:54:20.760 --> 00:54:26.280
Ever well, that's what i'm talking about. That's what i'm talking about your friends list. Yeah, so no no algorithm feeding

00:54:30.680 --> 00:54:35.480
Yeah, okay I think that would be a lot

00:54:35.480 --> 00:54:41.880
Better to be clear. I'm not saying that any of these platforms are going to agree to build that version of their product for australia

00:54:41.880 --> 00:54:45.720
Like I don't I don't think that's gonna happen. I mean this this mostly is just

00:54:46.600 --> 00:54:49.720
The reality of it is and I don't live in australia

00:54:50.200 --> 00:54:57.400
I don't have any kids who live in australia So to me this is just kind of an academic conversation and i'm sorry that this is actually impacting people

00:54:57.560 --> 00:55:00.520
Whichever side of the fence you you sit on on this issue

00:55:01.080 --> 00:55:04.680
But for me, this is just kind of an opportunity to to to talk about, you know

00:55:05.720 --> 00:55:10.200
Because it just whichever whatever position you're in whichever your stance is

00:55:10.680 --> 00:55:14.680
I think what we could probably all agree on is that this seems like it got rushed

00:55:15.480 --> 00:55:19.000
Um, this seems like it got pushed through without necessarily

00:55:20.200 --> 00:55:24.920
Full consideration of the ramifications and that's really been my main point this whole time

00:55:25.000 --> 00:55:28.840
I'm not saying that I disagree that kids should not be on social media

00:55:29.240 --> 00:55:33.720
Um, I'm just saying that it seems like there's a lot we haven't considered here

00:55:34.360 --> 00:55:41.480
Meanwhile in 13 european countries tick tock is blocking users under 18 from using its beauty filters

00:55:41.880 --> 00:55:44.440
Defined as effects designed to alter your appearance

00:55:45.400 --> 00:55:49.400
Particularly effects that users may mistake for unaltered video and

00:55:50.920 --> 00:55:54.440
Effects which are designed to be obvious and funny which will not be blocked

00:55:54.520 --> 00:55:58.200
So so specifically the beauty filters are the ones that are designed to

00:55:58.520 --> 00:56:05.080
Um Look like an unaltered video a tick tock which already doesn't allow accounts for users under 13

00:56:05.240 --> 00:56:10.760
Also said they're developing machine learning technology to help detect and prevent people under 13 from being on platform

00:56:10.840 --> 00:56:13.320
I don't know how effective that's going to be

00:56:13.880 --> 00:56:19.400
Uh, probably about as effective as it is right now, which is zero. I mean, I definitely have

00:56:19.960 --> 00:56:27.160
Young relatives who are on tick tock more than I would allow my young relatives to be on tick tock, but um

00:56:28.920 --> 00:56:31.320
I I I I can't tell other people how to parent

00:56:32.440 --> 00:56:35.800
I think the thing that I would I would add before we go on is that I I think

00:56:37.720 --> 00:56:43.880
Much more siloed experiences like discord. I think I'm wildly more okay with

00:56:44.200 --> 00:56:47.480
How discord can be a lot discord can be pretty wild west, man

00:56:47.960 --> 00:56:53.640
Like you can you can find some pretty some some pretty unhinged stuff on discord pretty easily

00:56:54.200 --> 00:57:00.840
100% if you join if you join the Certain servers that have that but I think it's in my opinion. It's a lot easier to

00:57:01.480 --> 00:57:07.000
as a as not a parent I have to assume as a parent that it would be easier to

00:57:08.200 --> 00:57:13.400
Watch discord usage. Okay, I'm gonna blow your mind. I'm gonna blow your mind right now

00:57:15.640 --> 00:57:20.200
The parent generation the parent generation never had a shot dude

00:57:20.680 --> 00:57:27.080
Like I I attended this thing our youtube rep asked me to go to this like technology and parenting thing to to connect with

00:57:28.440 --> 00:57:36.200
Oh, shoot. What was her name? Basically, she runs this not-for-profit that's um, that's really focused on media literacy

00:57:36.760 --> 00:57:45.000
Um, especially in children Um media media smarts. Uh, so there are canadian not-for-profit. Um, so she really wanted me to connect with her and

00:57:45.560 --> 00:57:47.960
They were I mean the presentation was totally

00:57:48.920 --> 00:57:56.040
Pointless for me. It was like very basic It was like very thousand foot view of like, you know the importance of of talking to kids and you know

00:57:56.840 --> 00:57:59.800
What does managing screen time mean and you know stuff like that, right?

00:58:00.200 --> 00:58:03.560
um But one thing that I thought was really

00:58:04.440 --> 00:58:09.480
Interesting about the conversation. Oh shoot. How did I get kicked on to this? Ah, where were we?

00:58:10.760 --> 00:58:15.400
Nope now I've forgotten Fred

00:58:15.400 --> 00:58:19.640
Didn't remember controls I was talking about discord using discord. Ah, yes discord. Okay

00:58:20.200 --> 00:58:25.560
so One of the things that that I thought about and that was part of my conversation when I was chatting with her

00:58:26.040 --> 00:58:31.560
Was that you know, we're having this conversation where we we talk about, you know, best practices for you know

00:58:31.640 --> 00:58:39.160
Guiding our children's online interactions and you know supervising screen time rather than than limiting it or using parental control software

00:58:39.160 --> 00:58:43.800
Like actually like it was it was good. It was a good chat. It was like, you know, healthy healthy parenting guidance actually

00:58:43.800 --> 00:58:46.920
It was really good But I basically told her I was like look you got a

00:58:47.320 --> 00:58:50.600
Something that I think is kind of missing in this sort of an academic discussion

00:58:51.000 --> 00:58:54.200
Is that the average parent is not equipped

00:58:54.680 --> 00:59:02.840
To do the things that you're asking them to do the vast majority of the parents that I talked to and these are these are parents like my ish

00:59:03.320 --> 00:59:07.080
Age like I'm a relatively young parent in my son's cohort

00:59:07.400 --> 00:59:12.120
But I'm not that young anymore by the time we make it to my second daughter's cohort

00:59:12.440 --> 00:59:16.360
Um, just because like Yvonne and I had kids pretty young relative to other millennials

00:59:16.680 --> 00:59:22.920
So you got to get to her like our third kid by the time I'm sort of the same age as people whose first kid is the same age as my

00:59:23.400 --> 00:59:30.520
youngest um So I'm so I'm running into people like my age people who grew up on emison messenger and habbo hotel

00:59:31.080 --> 00:59:37.800
and the majority The majority have no idea what the f*** discord even is

00:59:38.680 --> 00:59:44.680
Let alone how to tell what servers their kids are on and how to go look through their history or

00:59:45.080 --> 00:59:50.680
Figure out who their friends with or even know with that cute little ghost face icon even

00:59:51.320 --> 00:59:57.880
Means they don't know they don't understand and you can you can kind of like you could like crap on them and be like

01:00:01.880 --> 01:00:07.000
And that's the reality. Yeah Yeah, getting mad is not going to actually change anything. Yeah, I think

01:00:07.880 --> 01:00:09.880
I I agree. I I think it's just like

01:00:10.920 --> 01:00:18.600
Some amount of anything like no matter what detection that they do. I'm just trying to think like, you know, if you put me at

01:00:19.800 --> 01:00:25.880
13 I'd get around it. I don't I don't care what they do. I'd find some way if I actually wanted to

01:00:26.680 --> 01:00:30.920
But leaving some form of barrier in place to try to dissuade

01:00:32.040 --> 01:00:34.040
Using these platforms

01:00:35.800 --> 01:00:38.200
Is probably a good idea because they I

01:00:40.200 --> 01:00:43.880
I know people personally that I think honestly

01:00:44.840 --> 01:00:48.680
Usage of these types of platforms has introduced more brain rot

01:00:50.280 --> 01:00:59.080
Than like weed and alcohol Like I I think it's really bad. I think it has a huge potential for negative in people's lives

01:00:59.480 --> 01:01:04.200
so Holding off until people are a little bit older and hopefully a little bit more aware

01:01:05.160 --> 01:01:07.240
Of the impact that can come from these things

01:01:08.840 --> 01:01:10.840
Can be good

01:01:12.440 --> 01:01:18.760
If they if they really want it, they'll find a way and it's not like you're completely stopping them from communicating

01:01:23.240 --> 01:01:30.440
And anyway and things like team speak and discord I think are are less of a negative impact than than other things, although anything

01:01:31.720 --> 01:01:36.440
Ever is going to have downsides right like even social clubs. You could have predators there

01:01:36.680 --> 01:01:43.320
Oh, for sure Like like you have no idea, right? Like there's there's always every single thing you ever do is going to have some form of downside

01:01:43.400 --> 01:01:45.960
So and anywhere where children congregate

01:01:47.720 --> 01:01:51.080
Intentional choice of words predators will

01:01:51.160 --> 01:01:58.680
Will find a way to infiltrate Um, yeah, so shout out. Uh, yeah, shout out media smarts.ca by the way

01:01:58.760 --> 01:02:02.840
So, uh, one of the things that you can do is you can share resources like this. Um,

01:02:03.480 --> 01:02:10.040
They I I only met they Yeah, uh, so what flashing back. Yeah, they talk about, um

01:02:10.680 --> 01:02:15.640
Media literacy in particular like how to recognize fake news how to fact check

01:02:16.520 --> 01:02:20.600
How to do your own research a lot of people say do your own research

01:02:20.760 --> 01:02:24.760
But a lot of people, um, who try to do their own research are

01:02:25.720 --> 01:02:31.800
Giant f***ing idiots and probably shouldn't do their own research. They should just find someone who did the research for them

01:02:31.800 --> 01:02:36.280
And they should listen to them Uh, unfortunately because they have no idea how to do their own research

01:02:36.280 --> 01:02:43.080
They have no idea how to choose someone to do research for them. So they're hopeless, but anyway media smarts.ca check it out

01:02:44.040 --> 01:02:46.040
Ah

01:02:47.880 --> 01:02:52.760
And uh, yeah, so, uh, strawberry in Floatplane chat says media safety should be mandatory in education imo

01:02:52.760 --> 01:02:58.360
That's a big part of what media smarts is actually pushing for and one of their big frustrations and I uh, I

01:02:59.160 --> 01:03:07.640
We're very much like our southern neighbors this way Is that our our educational curriculum is handled at a provincial level rather than at a federal level

01:03:08.040 --> 01:03:13.240
So instead of them With their very limited resources and money

01:03:13.720 --> 01:03:17.560
Lobbying one body, right at a federal level

01:03:17.720 --> 01:03:23.720
They have to go around and they have to lobby at a provincial level to try to get this stuff integrated into the platform to try to

01:03:23.720 --> 01:03:27.240
Build these resources. So it's a it's an important mission. It's extremely challenging

01:03:27.640 --> 01:03:35.080
It's an extremely challenging thing to tackle, especially when there seem to be much better funded organizations that have

01:03:35.800 --> 01:03:42.120
A lot more interest in keeping people media illiterate. Um, which is uh, which is an unfortunate fact of our time

01:03:43.320 --> 01:03:47.640
Yeah Anywho uh

01:03:47.640 --> 01:03:52.440
Merch messages, I guess we're supposed to talk about those. I guess we'll also do like announcements and stuff

01:03:52.600 --> 01:03:56.520

What was that? I also had this baby gate. Oh, that was Elijah falling down the stairs

01:07:58.440 --> 01:08:01.480
That was like we don't need it because I haven't foreoated just in case

01:08:03.160 --> 01:08:06.680
We needed it now. This is the funny room

01:08:09.160 --> 01:08:17.800
Oh my goodness Sadly pina is not here anymore. He passed away a couple months ago due to some health complications

01:08:18.200 --> 01:08:24.040

01:08:37.560 --> 01:08:42.600
Let's go to the time stamp. I'm supposed to be at and let's try that again. Shall we use these stairs very well

01:08:43.240 --> 01:08:49.720
Um, but if you come down here You can actually see oh no, there's a mark from when Elijah

01:08:50.440 --> 01:08:54.440
slipped. Oh, wow Yeah, sorry, Elijah

01:08:54.600 --> 01:08:59.000

01:09:09.880 --> 01:09:14.920
Slash Floatplane to get access to more videos extras another few special treats we have cooking for the holiday season

01:09:15.640 --> 01:09:22.280
All right. I guess this is where I explain merch messages So if you guys are picking something up from the story, you'll get an opportunity to leave a merch message in the cart

01:09:22.280 --> 01:09:29.240
You'll see a little box when we're live and it'll You know fill a thing out it'll either go to produce while it'll all go to producer Dan who will reply to it

01:09:29.400 --> 01:09:33.800
Pop it up down there Do both of those things or he will curate it

01:09:33.800 --> 01:09:37.480
He will send it to someone internally or send it to me and luke to answer

01:09:37.480 --> 01:09:41.960
So why don't we do a couple of merch messages want to show us how it works Dan? Sure

01:09:42.520 --> 01:09:46.120
What is the best and worst deal LTT Store has ever done?

01:09:48.120 --> 01:09:52.280
I think the mystery screwdriver deal is probably right up there with our best deals

01:09:52.760 --> 01:09:55.320
um, I think the I think the willy wonka

01:09:55.800 --> 01:10:02.600
Deal on the 3d down jacket was pretty cool. I think it was a 1 in 10 chance to win or something like that

01:10:02.600 --> 01:10:05.800
It was either 1 in 10 or 1 in 5. It was like a no, no, no, sorry

01:10:06.440 --> 01:10:10.520
It was either 10 in 100 or 5 in 100. It was either 10 percent or 5 percent

01:10:11.320 --> 01:10:17.800
And people won a trip here like literally like a couple dozen people won and came and got tours

01:10:18.120 --> 01:10:20.680
Just for buying a 3d down jacket. That was a pretty cool one

01:10:21.560 --> 01:10:29.560
um In compel says $15 hoodies online day. That was crazy. That was like way below cost jerman says $5 desk pad

01:10:30.040 --> 01:10:35.160
Like uh, yeah, that was stupid. We shouldn't have done that. Um, yeah, there's there's some stuff

01:10:35.160 --> 01:10:38.520
We really just like straight up shouldn't have done um

01:10:38.520 --> 01:10:41.640
Yeah, $29 for the dropout was great says crystal

01:10:42.280 --> 01:10:45.880
As for the worst deals we've done. I don't know if we've ever done like a

01:10:46.520 --> 01:10:50.280
Bad deal. I can tell you what our worst performing product is though

01:10:51.000 --> 01:10:55.160
Do you guys want to know all time? I it might be of all time

01:10:55.160 --> 01:11:01.480
It's it's really bad. It doesn't sell at all like nobody cares. I I love it. I think it's super cool

01:11:01.560 --> 01:11:06.600
But it's uh, oh, yeah, you can see Um, well, it's a better deal right now

01:11:07.160 --> 01:11:12.840
I'm pretty sure this is below our cost I I would have asked for this to be priced a little bit higher than this

01:11:13.400 --> 01:11:15.960
But our GPU crash tower game

01:11:16.680 --> 01:11:23.160
um It costs what it costs because that's what it costs to get detailed laser

01:11:23.880 --> 01:11:31.640
engraving Across, you know that many little pieces of wood, but this thing did not sell at all

01:11:32.280 --> 01:11:38.440
Like at all Um, I'm gonna actually message them to save one for me. I don't have one yet, but I I want one

01:11:38.760 --> 01:11:45.640
Uh, by the way, nick message to say that it's just unfortunate timing that our precision screwdriver sponsor spots came out first

01:11:46.440 --> 01:11:52.120
We have lots of other ones going for other products that are in stock. It was just yeah, just really unfortunate timing

01:11:53.400 --> 01:11:57.240
Hey, can you guys hold on to a GPU crash tower game for me period?

01:11:57.240 --> 01:12:01.480
I don't have one yet and I would really like to remember my worst product idea

01:12:04.360 --> 01:12:07.640
Actually, I don't think it was my idea, but it was uh, I I was

01:12:08.360 --> 01:12:12.360
Very supportive of this project in spite of the fact that it was like obviously

01:12:13.160 --> 01:12:17.720
Made no sense. Like I think you can get first party jenga for like 12 dollars or something like that

01:12:18.040 --> 01:12:20.280
But first party jenga is not

01:12:21.240 --> 01:12:26.440
Lasering graved. I don't even know if that's engraving. Whatever. It's not lasered. It doesn't have lasers

01:12:27.720 --> 01:12:30.200
I mean it has a little bit of lasering just way less

01:12:32.280 --> 01:12:41.080
Oh, all right hit me Dan jr. I've got one for luke here. Mr. Luke. Lafweef we if canada banned chicken, would you move?

01:12:41.880 --> 01:12:50.840
chicken Banned chicken, I would I would start uh, then what did they what did they call it? Was it bootlegging?

01:12:51.080 --> 01:12:53.560
I mean you'd never have sex again. Could you live without it?

01:12:57.320 --> 01:13:01.640
That's a good point. I might have to we'll have to do remote wan shows forever. Um

01:13:02.440 --> 01:13:06.520
What what was it called when people would run alcohol during the pro lagging?

01:13:07.400 --> 01:13:13.160
Bootlegging. Yeah, okay. I thought so. Um, I feel like I would end up like bootlegging chicken breast bootleg chicken

01:13:13.720 --> 01:13:19.880
I feel like if you put a chicken in your bootleg, it would probably be not safe for consumption by the time you get to anywhere to cook it

01:13:20.920 --> 01:13:25.880
I see I need the LTT Store like active cooling boots. Um

01:13:27.720 --> 01:13:30.680
Yeah, I don't know, uh, I don't know in all seriousness

01:13:31.480 --> 01:13:34.920
Like no, I can't just like move away from work regardless of

01:13:35.640 --> 01:13:38.760
What weird actions Canadian government takes but it is what it is

01:13:40.360 --> 01:13:44.440
I mean Yeah, I'm not gonna they might do some weird stuff. So we'll see

01:13:45.000 --> 01:13:47.880
See how it goes. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, I suspect the next

01:13:48.360 --> 01:13:53.160
Four years for the whole world is gonna be weird. Do it's it's have you oh man

01:13:53.320 --> 01:13:55.960
This is maybe not a topic for wancho, but it's it's great the

01:13:56.520 --> 01:14:04.120
Consistency at which every single ruling party in every single country in the entire world is being voted out is nuts

01:14:05.800 --> 01:14:12.600
Yeah, ours is next Oh, yeah. Oh for sure. Yeah, there's no way he holds up. Yeah, and it's it's almost like

01:14:13.720 --> 01:14:17.160
It's almost like there were global events that took place

01:14:18.040 --> 01:14:23.080
That contributed to the challenging environment that they were all dealing with I'm not saying that

01:14:23.400 --> 01:14:27.400
I'm not saying that all or any of them or whatever. I'm not saying any of them

01:14:27.400 --> 01:14:33.320
We're doing a great job given the circumstances. I'm just saying I'm just saying it's almost like

01:14:34.200 --> 01:14:39.240
There was a whole thing You know that was going on on a global scale almost like that

01:14:40.040 --> 01:14:42.040
Yeah, it's almost like that

01:14:45.720 --> 01:14:53.160
I stopped in Uh, yeah, do you want to hit us with one more Dan? Oh, I know there's there's a lot now that we've highlighted the black friday deals

01:14:53.160 --> 01:14:58.760
They seem to be coming in at a pretty ridiculous rate. I've only got four curated most people are just like awesome. Thanks for the deals

01:14:59.240 --> 01:15:02.680
Oh, that's nice. Shout out those people rip my wallet, etc

01:15:03.240 --> 01:15:06.920
Oh, wait. No before you do that before you do that. There was a chat

01:15:07.640 --> 01:15:13.880
A chat that I wanted to respond to that wasn't a merge message ash 69 said at Linus xqc needs help building a pc again

01:15:16.200 --> 01:15:22.680
Why doesn't he just buy one at this point? Did you learn nothing? Like honestly, I I don't think he should build a pc

01:15:22.840 --> 01:15:26.120
I um, I think that he should buy a computer

01:15:27.480 --> 01:15:36.680
That's what I just had that to his amazon list Got a map mini from amazon jc says my partner just picked up nearly 300 dollars worth of underwear from you guys

01:15:36.840 --> 01:15:41.560
She's texture sensitive and your underwear is the most comfortable. She's ever found. Thank you for making great products

01:15:42.200 --> 01:15:45.880
um Make sure she gets as much as she'll ever need

01:15:45.960 --> 01:15:49.240
I don't think we're gonna stock it again because it hasn't been a big mover. So

01:15:49.880 --> 01:15:53.000
Oh No, that's what that's what happens with our

01:15:53.720 --> 01:15:59.880
That's I think no, we're bringing back the men stuff But we've had some trouble with suppliers for the men stuff. So it's um, I thought you're getting rid of the men's

01:15:59.960 --> 01:16:03.240
Yeah, it's kind of in uh, I might have just implied that I wear women's underwear

01:16:03.640 --> 01:16:07.400
Um, yeah, I met a I met a guy from AMD here

01:16:07.560 --> 01:16:11.800
While I was on my trip and he was showing off all his his AMD drip

01:16:12.120 --> 01:16:17.640
Um, and he had like AMD branded socks Wow, and he had a actually very sharp looking

01:16:18.120 --> 01:16:23.480
AMD branded dress shirt that had the AMD logo on the collar. Oh, yeah, actually very good

01:16:24.440 --> 01:16:31.000
And then I pointed out like yeah, you can't always tell these days, but I'm also dripped out in LTT stuff because like

01:16:31.720 --> 01:16:37.000
You know at the time I was wearing the the tall black long sleeve. Yeah. Yeah, you can't tell that it's LTT merch

01:16:37.000 --> 01:16:42.760
But it is uh, and then I I commented on about how even even my underwear was was company brand

01:16:44.440 --> 01:16:48.040
Did he have underwear did he have AMD underwear? No, I didn't

01:16:48.920 --> 01:16:55.960
Then we win. Yeah. Yeah And I have good news for you luke we may be close on socks

01:16:57.400 --> 01:17:01.320
Really that is actually genuinely very exciting. Yeah. Um, man, okay

01:17:01.720 --> 01:17:09.240
Tatiana the one and only tatiana may have found something it's not the same as the darn tuffs that I like

01:17:09.720 --> 01:17:14.520
but what it is is very competitive in the ways that

01:17:15.160 --> 01:17:19.400
um, I care about and maybe

01:17:19.480 --> 01:17:24.840
Maybe even a little bit better in some ways. I didn't know I cared about so we'll um

01:17:25.720 --> 01:17:29.720
We're gonna see we're gonna see We'll see

01:17:29.720 --> 01:17:36.920
Yeah, she now we just like she leaked like three projects when she came on the 16 the sweets double sweet 16 stream

01:17:44.360 --> 01:17:46.360
This close that is my job

01:18:05.800 --> 01:18:10.760
We're up to 17 merch messages per minute. It has doubled in the last like two minutes. Yeah

01:18:11.480 --> 01:18:16.680
Hello, my parents what you get for saying you have it under control. I got it under control. Sorry Dan. It's the delay

01:18:16.760 --> 01:18:19.880
Sorry Dan, it's the delay. I didn't mean to interrupt. I got it

01:18:22.600 --> 01:18:27.640
Hello, there's no actual delay between me and Dan. I'm just doing this to mess with them. All right. I'm gonna screw with Linus

01:18:27.640 --> 01:18:31.720
I know how to do that Try and talk now

01:18:33.480 --> 01:18:43.400
No Oh, you put an echo on me dude, that will not stop me at all. You wouldn't believe. Oh my gosh. You're super capable of doing that

01:18:43.400 --> 01:18:49.800
Dude, that's not I ran WAN Show. I used to be the producer of WAN Show

01:18:49.800 --> 01:18:56.520
Of course So I ran WAN Show while hosting WAN Show with delayed audio in my ears for years

01:18:57.000 --> 01:19:02.760
Dude, you cannot do anything to me. I can sing in harmony. I can barely let's go

01:19:03.400 --> 01:19:10.200
I can barely talk with any sort of like delay around 150. Anyway, here is a merch message for you

01:19:10.520 --> 01:19:18.200
Yeah, this one is hello, my parasocial friends in quotations. Hello, Dan rams us all today

01:19:18.280 --> 01:19:26.280
Lenny face Also, Luke, how's the food at this side of the pond? Any other funny or nice things happening in the land of baguette?

01:19:28.840 --> 01:19:37.240
Uh, no, food's amazing. Um, funny things happening. I don't think there's been a lot of particularly funny things happening

01:19:37.960 --> 01:19:44.680
um I went snowboarding the alps that was fun sick

01:19:45.720 --> 01:19:51.240
It's been it's been a great trip so far Um, so you went all the way to france so that you could go to switzerland

01:19:52.200 --> 01:19:59.000
Wow, way to betray. No way to betray your french lineage. Way to betray your french lineage mister. Yeah friend. Yeah

01:20:00.040 --> 01:20:04.120
Oh, dude, I've been roasted so hard for that the whole time. I've been here

01:20:04.200 --> 01:20:09.800
Oh, I bet anytime anyone figures out my last name after I've already made it clear that

01:20:09.800 --> 01:20:12.040
I can't speak french. They're like, what are you doing?

01:20:13.080 --> 01:20:19.640
Especially because especially at that point in time they assume i'm american and then i'm like, no, i'm from canada and they're like, that's worse

01:20:22.760 --> 01:20:26.680
So, I don't know. I mean, that's fair, but I mean if you are american

01:20:27.880 --> 01:20:29.880
Then I guess I can understand

01:20:32.440 --> 01:20:38.760
Terrible canadian I mean the consistency of which I've been roasted for that as well. I was at a christmas market

01:20:39.640 --> 01:20:42.600
Technically tonight, I guess. I don't know whatever

01:20:44.360 --> 01:20:49.560
And and I was shopping and and the the lady was like, oh, where are you from and I was like canada

01:20:50.920 --> 01:20:56.680
And she started roasting me before she even knew what my last name was Then I went to go pay and she saw my name on my card and she was like, what?

01:20:57.320 --> 01:20:59.320
Yeah

01:21:04.760 --> 01:21:09.560
Yeah, get good scrub. Um, all right, what are what are we supposed to be doing right now?

01:21:10.520 --> 01:21:17.160
Uh, more topics. Sure. Let's do a topic. Oh, dude, dude, wait, can you can you?

01:21:17.880 --> 01:21:20.360
Okay, okay. Oh, dude, this is amazing

01:21:21.320 --> 01:21:30.200
In a first-of-its-kind lawsuit Sydney nicole giford is suing fellow amazon influencer elissa scheele for copyright infringement

01:21:30.680 --> 01:21:33.000
and misappropriation of likeness

01:21:34.680 --> 01:21:38.120
Both create content in the clean girl aesthetic

01:21:39.000 --> 01:21:43.080
characterized by neutral colors minimalist decor and a focus on

01:21:43.640 --> 01:21:51.320
self-care But giford alleges that scheele has harmed her earnings by copying her content including

01:21:51.960 --> 01:21:57.160
Featuring the same types of products posting similar poses and outfits

01:21:58.040 --> 01:22:07.000
matching specific frames of her videos and even getting a similar flower tattoo on her left bicep

01:22:07.560 --> 01:22:13.800
just like giford Scheele denies copying giford and claims that the similarities in their content

01:22:14.200 --> 01:22:20.360
Are due to the nature of the amazon influencer program and the prevalence of the clean girl aesthetic

01:22:20.840 --> 01:22:26.760
She argues that many influencers feature the same products and that giford style is not unique

01:22:27.720 --> 01:22:30.920
Kind of own-golling with that one. IMO says riley

01:22:31.880 --> 01:22:41.160
Sorry, that's he added that to my notes Legal experts suggest that giford's case faces challenges because copyright law offers limited protection for the type of content she creates

01:22:43.000 --> 01:22:49.880
Given the generic nature of many of the images and lack of exact exact replications similarities may not be sufficient to prove

01:22:50.600 --> 01:23:00.760
infringing Our discussion question is what are the boundaries of intellectual property in the influencer industry where repeating trends is kind of part of the culture like like means

01:23:01.640 --> 01:23:08.760
Could we sue another youtuber for making junkyard wars? For example, wait, oops. That's the us version of the uk show scrap heap challenge

01:23:09.800 --> 01:23:13.480
Which we actually did realize when we named our things scrapyard wars

01:23:13.960 --> 01:23:16.840
But hey, at least it's not quite the same thing now

01:23:17.800 --> 01:23:22.280
everything that I said everything that I said just now is is sort of

01:23:25.880 --> 01:23:34.440
Hard to wrap your brain around Until you actually look at the content. So I'm gonna I'm gonna pull these guys up. Hold on

01:23:35.480 --> 01:23:40.600
Uh, here we go. I'm gonna pull up the one and then I'm gonna pull up the other one

01:23:41.400 --> 01:23:47.880
And it is worth. I know that people have some thoughts on the verge or whatever

01:23:48.440 --> 01:23:54.440
Um It is worth firing up the verge. I'm gonna uh Dan. Can you share the article with people?

01:23:54.680 --> 01:23:58.520
It's worth firing up the verge and reading this article. It's a long read

01:23:58.840 --> 01:24:03.480
But just look put your put your subway surfers aside for a little bit

01:24:04.120 --> 01:24:10.840
And read it because it is sort of mind-blowing. It's it's an outstanding piece of journalism

01:24:11.400 --> 01:24:15.160
and Hold on. I'm just trying to control f

01:24:16.200 --> 01:24:21.400
Crying on a Sydney. There we go. Uh, it's an outstanding piece of journalism because it manages to tell

01:24:21.880 --> 01:24:24.200
Both sides of the story in a way that I think is

01:24:24.920 --> 01:24:29.560
Shockingly unbiased because if you're anything like me, you're gonna look at these two

01:24:30.360 --> 01:24:34.600
And you're just gonna kind of go Okay

01:24:34.600 --> 01:24:41.560
Oh Just find the stupid thing here. Okay, here we go. You're gonna look at these two and you're just gonna go

01:24:42.760 --> 01:24:46.520
Yeah, how could anyone

01:24:46.520 --> 01:24:50.760
be more generic than this

01:24:51.000 --> 01:24:55.080
And how could one painfully generic person

01:24:56.200 --> 01:25:00.520
Um, accuse another painfully generic person

01:25:01.800 --> 01:25:03.800
Of like stealing their vibe

01:25:05.160 --> 01:25:09.480
When when this is it, I mean I

01:25:09.480 --> 01:25:13.400
Oh man, I told myself that when we covered this I was gonna try to stay neutral

01:25:13.480 --> 01:25:17.720
But like my god, you didn't create the products like their color palette

01:25:18.200 --> 01:25:24.520
Yeah, you didn't you didn't create any of these products. Do you understand do you understand where?

01:25:26.120 --> 01:25:30.440
That took me way too long Sorry, do you understand

01:25:30.920 --> 01:25:33.400
Where products come from? Okay?

01:25:33.960 --> 01:25:37.640
Because it wasn't from you. It wasn't from your instagram page

01:25:38.040 --> 01:25:41.960
It was from a company somewhere that engaged a manufacturer

01:25:42.440 --> 01:25:49.960
Somewhere built a spec for a product and created it and if it exists on amazon, there are literally

01:25:50.040 --> 01:25:56.120
I promise you the minimum order quantity for them is thousands of units. There are literally

01:25:56.760 --> 01:26:00.120
Thousands of them that exist before you ever touched it

01:26:01.560 --> 01:26:09.880
How can you possibly how can you possibly say that someone is like that someone is infringing on you

01:26:10.840 --> 01:26:15.240
By featuring the same Like purse or whatever

01:26:16.040 --> 01:26:19.800
I am I am beyond

01:26:20.040 --> 01:26:23.560
I am beyond words on this whole vibe

01:26:24.360 --> 01:26:27.560
um Anyone is telling us to check examples from the verge article

01:26:27.560 --> 01:26:30.280
But I would recommend that people just go look at the verge article themselves

01:26:30.600 --> 01:26:35.720
The the main thing that sends out to me is is probably the um the ARM tattoo

01:26:35.960 --> 01:26:38.920
If those are actually super similar that could be getting kind of weird

01:26:39.160 --> 01:26:43.640
They're in the same spot, but let's be realistic. There are not that many

01:26:44.280 --> 01:26:47.720
Um, there are not that many spots that like people put tattoos

01:26:48.440 --> 01:26:52.440
Uh, I will show just the tattoo one tattoo though. I'll show just the tattoo here

01:26:53.240 --> 01:26:55.240
No, not really

01:26:57.400 --> 01:27:02.520
Rose and definitely similar dandelions. Yeah, it's in like kind of a similar spot

01:27:03.080 --> 01:27:09.080
But like and it's a similar style Like look if I got a tramp stamp would one of them accuse me of copying them like

01:27:12.040 --> 01:27:16.600
A second one I'm not saying Like an enlarged one

01:27:17.560 --> 01:27:23.640
I'm not saying that either of them has one I I I doubt that tramp stamp is part of the clean girl aesthetic if anything the opposite

01:27:23.720 --> 01:27:29.400
But like my point is just that there's a finite number of like trendy places that people put tattoos

01:27:29.400 --> 01:27:35.160
And I don't think that you can lay claim to putting a mark on a particular spot on your body

01:27:35.160 --> 01:27:37.160
Like there's only so many of them

01:27:38.680 --> 01:27:42.040
Yeah, and me chaos says tattoo fads are definitely a thing and it's like

01:27:43.480 --> 01:27:49.160
I don't I don't know man Like I just even and and you know what there's like I said the article's really good

01:27:49.240 --> 01:27:54.040
And it does a good job of allowing them to kind of lay out what they think is

01:27:54.520 --> 01:28:00.120
It should be protected about their business But I got to say as someone who's in the influencer game

01:28:00.840 --> 01:28:07.560
Even though, you know a lot of what we do is more akin to vlogging or reviewing as someone who definitely

01:28:08.520 --> 01:28:10.520
participates in

01:28:12.200 --> 01:28:14.200
Affiliate programs

01:28:15.800 --> 01:28:18.600
Honey what you do ain't unique

01:28:20.600 --> 01:28:25.800
And if someone's copying your stoyle Then that's good and keep innovating

01:28:27.640 --> 01:28:33.560
I've been doing this for one of them one of them is 24. Okay. I have been doing this

01:28:34.440 --> 01:28:42.120
since More than half the time they've been alive. I have been doing this since since the one of them was seven years old

01:28:44.280 --> 01:28:54.120
And let me tell you What you did when you first started it's not gonna work today and what you're doing today is not gonna work tomorrow

01:28:55.080 --> 01:29:01.320
Platforms come and go content formats come and go visual styles come and go

01:29:01.800 --> 01:29:04.520
You probably shouldn't have gotten that tattoo because

01:29:05.320 --> 01:29:07.960
You know now you've marked yourself as like, you know

01:29:08.760 --> 01:29:13.000
Gen Z or whatever no in all seriousness get whatever tattoos you want the point is just that

01:29:13.480 --> 01:29:18.920
Everything is impermanent and if you expect like your signature tattoo

01:29:19.720 --> 01:29:23.080
To be like a thing and stay fresh and hip forever

01:29:24.200 --> 01:29:28.280
You got another thing coming that is not how this works. I'm sorry

01:29:31.400 --> 01:29:33.400
Yeah

01:29:35.960 --> 01:29:39.160
Next topic Yeah, let's do it

01:29:39.160 --> 01:29:44.120
Anyway, read the article. It's really good. It's probably the best piece that I've read on the verge in

01:29:45.560 --> 01:29:50.680
Years Yeah, we don't want to cannibalize other people's stuff. So just go go check it out yourself. Um

01:29:51.640 --> 01:29:56.680
Okay, do you want to talk about the hold on there's one there's one thing I'm gonna read off of it first

01:29:56.680 --> 01:30:01.800
This is really funny. It's like the the the what is it the byline the sub headline? I don't know. I don't come from print

01:30:02.280 --> 01:30:06.600
Um one amazon influencer makes a living posting content from her beige home

01:30:06.840 --> 01:30:10.200
But after she noticed another account hawking the same minimal aesthetic

01:30:10.600 --> 01:30:13.480
A rivalry spiraled into a first of its kind lawsuit

01:30:14.040 --> 01:30:17.080
Can the legal system protect the vibe of a creator?

01:30:17.800 --> 01:30:19.800
And what if that vibe is basic?

01:30:21.400 --> 01:30:26.280
I Should call her a basic bitch without saying it. I love it

01:30:28.600 --> 01:30:35.480
That's actually pretty good Anyway, it's it's great. It's great because there's this undertone of like

01:30:36.760 --> 01:30:43.320
Okay, this is all ridiculous, right like emperors emperors new clothes like we all we all know this is ridiculous, right?

01:30:43.880 --> 01:30:47.080
But she tackles the subject matter with such

01:30:47.800 --> 01:30:57.080
um energy And and and like almost like doe-eyed innocence like I like I don't know that this is ridiculous that you have to admire it

01:30:57.080 --> 01:31:01.160
It's it's a really stylish article. It's really good

01:31:01.720 --> 01:31:05.640
Okay. All right. Sorry. Luke go ahead speaking of really good articles

01:31:07.080 --> 01:31:14.520
Oh, okay. Good. That's a good intro. So Linus Linus just dropped this in the uh in the topic suggestion chat

01:31:14.760 --> 01:31:22.840
With no context and I had no idea like, okay, is he gonna try to is he he's gonna try to roast us or what's the what's the plan here?

01:31:23.320 --> 01:31:29.800
Um The intro at the beginning of this show seemed positive. So that's cool. But yeah, I thought this was a great

01:31:30.360 --> 01:31:35.720
Uh, this was not my idea. I thought this was a great idea. Um, lucas, you know needed a fantastic job

01:31:36.280 --> 01:31:39.160
But yeah, what what do you what do you want to discuss in particular?

01:31:39.320 --> 01:31:45.720
I just want to talk about how the lab is quietly doing some really cool stuff and a massive shout out ony and lucas

01:31:45.880 --> 01:31:51.080
And this is pretty cool on lttlabs.com. I came across this completely organically

01:31:51.400 --> 01:31:57.720
Someone actually linked it to me on social media. I did not I did not go to like my own website

01:31:57.720 --> 01:32:03.160
I own and see it. I like someone sent it to me. Um, and it's really cool

01:32:03.720 --> 01:32:09.960
When we tested the Corsair sf8 50l power supply, we noticed that both the box and Corsair's website

01:32:10.280 --> 01:32:12.920
Said it was 80 plus gold certified

01:32:13.480 --> 01:32:19.960
However, when we checked clear results database, it was actually rated as platinum

01:32:21.480 --> 01:32:25.880
How interesting of a thing is that

01:32:25.880 --> 01:32:29.000
why on this green earth

01:32:29.000 --> 01:32:34.280
Would Corsair a company that Allegedly likes to sell you products

01:32:35.080 --> 01:32:43.080
rate their product gold When the certifying body that tested it says it's platinum

01:32:43.880 --> 01:32:50.920
A higher efficiency standard. This is such an interesting question and is exactly this is

01:32:51.720 --> 01:32:55.160
Exactly what the point of the f***ing lab is

01:32:55.960 --> 01:33:03.400
This is this is the this is the whole point. This is why this is why we needed to test it

01:33:03.880 --> 01:33:11.000
Okay, so this is super cool. Um, anyway, naturally we reached out to Corsair to ask why

01:33:15.400 --> 01:33:20.600
But before we dive into okay, so we we do a little explanation of uh, gold silver and bronze

01:33:20.840 --> 01:33:24.360
We talk about what efficiency means. It's a really nice little primer

01:33:24.520 --> 01:33:28.040
You know like used to exist back in the day of like written, you know

01:33:28.520 --> 01:33:33.080
Articles and stuff. I'm coming back to it. Boom blue balls. Go read it

01:33:35.960 --> 01:33:40.040
Yeah, it's we we did some tuning. Um, we're still trying to learn

01:33:41.640 --> 01:33:46.840
About white writing for web, right? Like it's different like and and also the lab site is a little bit different

01:33:46.840 --> 01:33:51.800
Like something that I've been kind of trained on almost is when I'm reading articles if I see a link in an article

01:33:52.200 --> 01:33:56.760
I'm going to expect that it's probably not linking to me what I actually want

01:33:57.000 --> 01:34:01.480
I don't know if you've experienced this But I've experienced a lot of whenever there's a link in an article

01:34:01.480 --> 01:34:07.400
They find some way to shoehorn it into linking to their own site no matter what even if it makes no sense

01:34:08.040 --> 01:34:14.120
And ours are just like the link that you would expect it to be so like when you opened the I think it was the the clear

01:34:14.920 --> 01:34:20.120
Yeah, it actually went to clear's website instead of just like a backlink to our own website

01:34:20.440 --> 01:34:28.360
Um, so we're trying to be legit in that way. There is actually no functional way for us to profit off of the blogs right now

01:34:28.600 --> 01:34:37.080
Um, nice. There's no ads on them. There's none. There's nothing like that. So, um, we're just genuinely actually trying to make them really good

01:34:37.480 --> 01:34:42.200
Um, super cool I think they're good. Yeah, check it out. Yeah

01:34:43.000 --> 01:34:47.560
And I would like to point out that the whole like power supply circuit thing

01:34:48.760 --> 01:34:51.240
Kind of working check this out. Okay

01:34:51.960 --> 01:34:58.520
Recent video from four days ago 880 views 880 people watch that

01:34:59.640 --> 01:35:05.080
That's that's I know that's not a w but relax. Hold on a second. Let's go back a little bit

01:35:05.720 --> 01:35:11.880
This is why this exists. Let's look at everything from around a month ago. Oh 2000 2000

01:35:12.920 --> 01:35:18.680
two and a half thousand 2000 views. Okay, let's go back a little bit farther. Let's go back a little bit farther

01:35:19.160 --> 01:35:24.680
four and a half thousand Two and a half thousand three thousand one and a half four point seven thousand

01:35:25.480 --> 01:35:33.960
Six point two thousand That's what these videos are for they're meant to be a resource and we're building we're building a library

01:35:34.040 --> 01:35:38.280
And you know what the thing is libraries are built a book at a time. So it's going to take time

01:35:38.920 --> 01:35:43.240
But in time guys This is it

01:35:43.240 --> 01:35:49.880

Sponsorship. I love him so much. I think he's doing a great job

01:39:24.120 --> 01:39:28.760
All right, merch messages and a bug now apparently three merch messages. All right hit me Dan sure

01:39:29.400 --> 01:39:34.280
Hey, dinos luke and land with LMG's address being public and having held events at the studio

01:39:34.360 --> 01:39:37.960
Have you had disruptive fans? Have you had to put on extra focus on employee safety?

01:39:39.080 --> 01:39:44.360
Um, that's a really good question. You know what for the most part our community is

01:39:44.680 --> 01:39:50.840
Extremely respectful of our personal boundaries. Uh, we have signs up outside

01:39:51.560 --> 01:39:53.560
We've talked about it on the wandshow

01:39:54.840 --> 01:40:00.440
There have been a couple of notable exceptions where people think that because they're here

01:40:00.520 --> 01:40:07.240
They are entitled to you know an audience of some sort and the reality of it is that in our business

01:40:07.320 --> 01:40:11.320
That's a safety issue. Um, and that's just not something that we can entertain

01:40:11.400 --> 01:40:15.880
We have processes for these kinds of things. Uh, don't show up here. You won't get a tour. You won't get

01:40:16.680 --> 01:40:23.240
You won't get a selfie like it. It doesn't work like that. Um, and no, it's it's a really good question

01:40:23.240 --> 01:40:27.160
But overall people have been super super respectful and actually

01:40:27.720 --> 01:40:34.280
We have found that there has been a reduction in interest in our location and interest in

01:40:34.840 --> 01:40:38.680
Uh in infringing on our privacy ever since we

01:40:38.680 --> 01:40:42.680
He almost dropped it Dan

01:40:43.880 --> 01:40:48.040
Um infringing on our privacy. We brought it up. I thought you were taking it away. What are you doing?

01:40:48.280 --> 01:40:50.280
What did you do? It had what in it?

01:40:51.640 --> 01:40:54.840
He says they had animals in it. What is what is happening? Am I missing something?

01:40:55.480 --> 01:40:59.320
Sorry, it happens. The bug that was crawling around all over it. Oh, okay

01:40:59.480 --> 01:41:03.400
No, what note is this somewhere else? Uh, cool. What was I talking about? Right? Sorry to interrupt. Yeah

01:41:03.480 --> 01:41:06.680
So actually people have been better about it ever since we just published our address

01:41:07.560 --> 01:41:12.360
on google maps Like it's it's one of those things where it takes a ton of the intrigue out of it

01:41:13.640 --> 01:41:17.640
Like I like you kind of sucked back in the house people people were trying to

01:41:18.600 --> 01:41:25.080
Come by like we were a way smaller channel back then and people would try to come by more often. Um

01:41:26.760 --> 01:41:30.360
Yeah, I spoofed him says regarding the security issue if I travel from new zealand

01:41:30.360 --> 01:41:33.320
Can I inquire about looking around the studios and pre-arranging a time for this?

01:41:33.720 --> 01:41:39.400
Unfortunately, the answer is no. We do meet-ups and we do tours sometimes

01:41:39.960 --> 01:41:44.760
We've done it as part of LTX for example, but other than that the answer has to be no because

01:41:46.600 --> 01:41:50.600
No disrespect, but I don't know who you are right

01:41:50.600 --> 01:41:57.080
And when we're not set up for it We're not set up for it and we can't be set up for that kind of thing every day. This is an office

01:41:57.160 --> 01:42:00.760
This is a it's a production studio. We're we're working right? We um

01:42:01.480 --> 01:42:05.000
We we do have fun. I think we genuinely have fun sometimes

01:42:05.560 --> 01:42:09.640
But we have a job to do and we can't have random disruptions like that

01:42:11.480 --> 01:42:16.440
Uh, Tony B 486 says the White House gives tours. Well good for them

01:42:18.840 --> 01:42:21.960
Um, I hear if you go in january, it's it's like free

01:42:22.360 --> 01:42:24.360
Okay

01:42:29.880 --> 01:42:37.080
Uh, no key 1119 says Linus, I'm curious you mentioned earlier in the show about conflicting with sponsors

01:42:37.480 --> 01:42:41.080
Does this also apply to framework and laptop sponsor spots?

01:42:42.440 --> 01:42:46.360
I gotta tell you I am surprised at how few f***s

01:42:47.000 --> 01:42:50.200
Our laptop partners have given about the framework

01:42:50.680 --> 01:42:54.040
investment I think

01:42:54.040 --> 01:42:57.240
In about the like two to six weeks

01:42:57.800 --> 01:42:59.800
After I announced the investment

01:43:00.840 --> 01:43:03.480
I had a couple laptop sponsors kind of go

01:43:04.280 --> 01:43:10.200
Like is this going to affect your coverage of us and our ability to work with you in a sponsored capacity in any way

01:43:11.080 --> 01:43:14.920
And I don't think a single deal was so much as delayed

01:43:15.800 --> 01:43:20.040
by it like literally

01:43:20.040 --> 01:43:24.200
No offense to framework. I love framework. I love their mission

01:43:24.680 --> 01:43:28.520
I am invested personally in framework and the success of their mission

01:43:29.320 --> 01:43:40.280
The rest of the industry Does not even acknowledge the existence of framework zero f***s zero like whatever

01:43:41.000 --> 01:43:44.680
um I don't think

01:43:44.680 --> 01:43:49.400
They see framework as a competitor. I don't think framework has competitors

01:43:50.200 --> 01:43:54.360
Framework has a product that is very unique and very framework

01:43:54.680 --> 01:44:01.160
Which is a really cool thing that they've managed to do in such a commodity space as as as laptops, right?

01:44:01.160 --> 01:44:06.920
Like that that's incredible to build a laptop in this day and age that actually has a unique

01:44:07.720 --> 01:44:10.840
identity and and value and story

01:44:11.880 --> 01:44:18.440
That's And I mean story without getting into some cheesy thing about how every one of them is made out of some rock that you found on a

01:44:18.440 --> 01:44:22.920
Mountain or something right like like a real story. I think that's really incredible

01:44:23.480 --> 01:44:31.720
um but It's a really small niche and I just I just don't think that the main manufacturers acknowledge it

01:44:32.200 --> 01:44:35.240
um, I hope that that that changes someday, but

01:44:35.960 --> 01:44:39.160
I I don't know if I see a path to that right now. I mean

01:44:40.040 --> 01:44:47.800
I hope I hope though That's yeah, that's all I have to say about that and I don't think that um, and I don't think that

01:44:48.440 --> 01:44:52.280
As much speculation as there might be about my biases or whatever else

01:44:52.680 --> 01:44:58.280
I don't think that I've shown any bias in favor of framework. I go out of my in fact if anything

01:44:58.600 --> 01:45:04.920
I treat them very much like the coach's son um, I go out of my way to be to to

01:45:05.560 --> 01:45:11.160
scrutinize them So that I will not be perceived as having a bias which is actually a bias of sorts

01:45:11.240 --> 01:45:13.720
But it's not the kind that anyone gets mad at me about so I guess it's fine

01:45:15.240 --> 01:45:17.240
Yeah

01:45:18.440 --> 01:45:23.240
If you're gonna have one that's probably the the better one to have. Oh, that's the safer one to have because

01:45:23.720 --> 01:45:26.040
it's so much easier for us to uh

01:45:27.000 --> 01:45:32.600
It's so much easier for us to just kind of put on our like well if anything I go hard at them shield, right?

01:45:32.680 --> 01:45:37.720
And it's like well, yeah, what do you get like you can be you can be like mad about your perceived conflict or whatever else

01:45:37.720 --> 01:45:41.000
But the reality of it is I'm still gonna promote LG. I'm still

01:45:41.720 --> 01:45:43.720
Uh

01:45:49.320 --> 01:45:52.200
Still gonna daily my snapdragon machine from hp like

01:45:53.000 --> 01:45:57.560
There we go Whatever No, did you think my audio cut out?

01:45:58.840 --> 01:46:03.080
Oh, apparently he's fixing something with Dan in the background. All right, cool. No, I just I just stopped

01:46:03.160 --> 01:46:08.920
I just stopped talking mid-sense mid-sentence. I ain't doing nothing. Um, what is beeping though? I don't know

01:46:09.880 --> 01:46:13.000
Yeah, do I have another merge message? Um

01:46:15.240 --> 01:46:22.200
Okay Hello everyone been a long time enjoyer of the show question for Linus working with engineers

01:46:22.200 --> 01:46:28.200
What have you learned or became interested in I'm hoping to study outside of school to become one

01:46:29.000 --> 01:46:37.160
Oh man, almost every talking to someone who is knowledgeable and passionate about just about

01:46:38.040 --> 01:46:45.960
Anything is super interesting I never thought that I would care and I'm talking about Tatiana's spot on the sweet double sweet 16 stream again

01:46:46.280 --> 01:46:50.920
I never thought that I would care about fabric weights and composition

01:46:52.040 --> 01:46:56.040
But you talk to somebody like that about it and you're like dang this is cool

01:46:56.680 --> 01:47:01.000
You know, and it's and it's the same, you know, you talk to you talk to someone like tinen

01:47:01.480 --> 01:47:04.200
Uh, and I'll use a non-work example. You know tinen's

01:47:05.000 --> 01:47:11.160
No, I'm not okay. I don't want to give away any personal information, but tinen knows a lot about um rehabilitation

01:47:11.880 --> 01:47:15.240
uh equipment and uh, like workplace ergonomic equipment

01:47:15.800 --> 01:47:21.160
He knows a lot about that. I'm not going to explain why and talking to him about that stuff. It's just like

01:47:22.600 --> 01:47:30.120
It's cool. There's there's there's so much more to like like rehab than just, you know, taking it easy or whatever else

01:47:30.520 --> 01:47:39.400
Um, I'm trying I'm trying to think of like oh man I they never let me talk to uh, Nate in merch meeting because the project that he's working on is a very long-term project

01:47:39.480 --> 01:47:45.240
And the reality of it is that I don't really need to I don't really need to talk to him for him to keep working on it

01:47:45.240 --> 01:47:50.520
But um, but I love talking to Nate about it because he I think believes

01:47:51.560 --> 01:47:59.080
extremely strongly in the product that he's building for LTT Store right now and is genuinely excited about

01:47:59.800 --> 01:48:06.920
Telling me about the the roadblocks that he's able to overcome and and some of the exciting features that we might be able to have and just

01:48:08.520 --> 01:48:13.880
Everything everything is cool when you dig deep enough into it. Um

01:48:16.200 --> 01:48:20.040
Or maybe it isn't but if it isn't for you then I think you know

01:48:20.920 --> 01:48:25.320
You got to learn to be curious. I think you I think you genuinely have to learn to be curious

01:48:25.400 --> 01:48:29.560
I don't think that everyone Naturally

01:48:30.600 --> 01:48:36.440
Has the uh, the the instinct or the impulse to ask a follow-up question

01:48:36.920 --> 01:48:43.720
And uh, because if they if they did then everyone would have you know, the same coverage say for example of a of a new news story

01:48:44.440 --> 01:48:49.720
But if someone else is as deeper, it's because they they had the curiosity to to ask another question

01:48:49.800 --> 01:48:51.800
And I think that's something that you have to practice

01:48:53.640 --> 01:48:55.880
You think do you think that's a modern thing?

01:48:56.680 --> 01:49:03.240
Do you think that's because of The internet no, no, I don't think so. I think that if anything like

01:49:04.920 --> 01:49:07.320
Literacy should have made us more curious

01:49:10.440 --> 01:49:14.040
If anything I think and I think that historically our

01:49:14.840 --> 01:49:21.080
Our capacity for exploration and and and digging deeper into things was was lower

01:49:21.160 --> 01:49:24.520
I think we were I think as a species we accepted

01:49:25.240 --> 01:49:30.760
easy answers without the same critical thought that

01:49:32.280 --> 01:49:36.360
Largely people At least to attempt to give it today

01:49:38.440 --> 01:49:43.800
Yeah, yeah, sure enough Um, all right. Well, sorry, what are we supposed to be doing Dan?

01:49:43.800 --> 01:49:49.000
One more merch message and then we're moving on to more topics neat. Okay. Sure. Thanks for the whan show

01:49:49.480 --> 01:49:53.800
I love listening every week I teach at a digital art high school

01:49:54.120 --> 01:50:02.360
What tips could you give for throwing a small land party? Maybe 20 to 50 students and maybe some specific games that would work. Well, well first things first

01:50:02.440 --> 01:50:05.240
I can tell you that 20 to 50 is a big range

01:50:05.960 --> 01:50:10.920
20 is a reasonable size land party. I would say that's a medium-sized land party 50 is big

01:50:11.720 --> 01:50:19.400
So you are yeah, 50 is a freaking lot to coordinate because as soon as it's bigger than a lobby

01:50:19.880 --> 01:50:25.160
Right as soon as it's bigger than one lobby All of a sudden it's either like free for all

01:50:25.560 --> 01:50:30.280
And people are just playing world of warcraft on their computers over in that corner and they're doing whatever over there

01:50:30.920 --> 01:50:33.960
or You are like managing

01:50:34.520 --> 01:50:40.600
multiple events, right because almost there's almost nothing where you're gonna have 50 people playing concurrently at the same time

01:50:41.320 --> 01:50:47.160
Um, so what I would say is I would say limit your seat count to some decide on your games

01:50:47.880 --> 01:50:50.760
And then limit your seat count to something that you can actually

01:50:51.160 --> 01:50:55.880
Manage and if you can I would publish the games and schedule that you're planning to play ahead of time

01:50:56.280 --> 01:51:00.600
People will hate it They'll be mad about it that you're just like this is the game

01:51:00.600 --> 01:51:04.760
We're playing from this time to this time and this is the next game we're playing and this is the next game

01:51:04.760 --> 01:51:09.080
We're playing but when the event is done, they will have had way more fun

01:51:10.440 --> 01:51:13.560
And they like won't know why um

01:51:13.560 --> 01:51:19.640
The other good thing about doing like a like a 16 seat or something like that like 8 to 12 to 16

01:51:20.120 --> 01:51:22.840
Is that managing power is going to be a lot easier

01:51:23.480 --> 01:51:25.480
Like you can probably do about

01:51:26.680 --> 01:51:32.040
Three computers per circuit if you're in north america maybe four or five if you're if you're over in europe

01:51:32.520 --> 01:51:37.080
um When you have like 50 people now you're talking like you you have to drag

01:51:37.720 --> 01:51:42.680
Extension cords from every corner of the house or the facility in order to power all these computers

01:51:43.080 --> 01:51:45.800
Uh, when you when you just have like 12 people you're dragging like

01:51:46.440 --> 01:51:50.360
Three or four circuits over and you're gonna have a lot fewer like blown circuit breakers

01:51:52.120 --> 01:51:55.960
That was gonna be my biggest point is when you start getting to numbers like 50

01:51:56.040 --> 01:51:59.640
You're now like investing in infrastructure instead of just

01:52:00.440 --> 01:52:07.080
Yeah having some buddies over and maybe buying like a a network switch a very cheap switch when you're at 50 you're you're

01:52:08.200 --> 01:52:12.440
you know tables chairs power delivery

01:52:12.920 --> 01:52:18.600
Yeah networking I mean they work at a school so presumably they have tables and chairs, but

01:52:19.400 --> 01:52:21.400
Okay, yeah, that helps

01:52:23.960 --> 01:52:27.800
They ask for specific games luke what are your favorite land party games?

01:52:30.520 --> 01:52:36.200
Um, I mentioned savage if it's it's incredibly old at this point

01:52:36.680 --> 01:52:39.960
But if you can if you can somehow acquire isos

01:52:40.440 --> 01:52:43.880
Um, because I don't know if there's any other way to get it genuinely

01:52:44.280 --> 01:52:47.640
Um, it's a great game for when you have

01:52:48.200 --> 01:52:51.320
Very large groups of people and you want everyone to play the same game

01:52:51.640 --> 01:52:56.280
Especially if you have separate rooms of people and you want people to play the same game

01:52:56.600 --> 01:53:02.520
Especially if you're at a school and one of the desks has like a projector screen

01:53:02.840 --> 01:53:07.480
So you can have your like commander player with the projector screen and then everyone else's individual units

01:53:07.640 --> 01:53:11.480
It's like actually sensational for that specific use case

01:53:12.200 --> 01:53:15.320
Outside of that. I don't know all the classic things

01:53:15.960 --> 01:53:19.800
I think halo c is just genuinely a really good land game

01:53:20.200 --> 01:53:26.520
Um, I think counter strike if you limit it to people that don't actively play is a really good land game

01:53:27.080 --> 01:53:29.560
Jumping in a giant tf2 lobby can be a lot of fun

01:53:30.360 --> 01:53:33.800
That's very fun. Yeah, you can you can spark servers that way

01:53:34.520 --> 01:53:37.000
So if you don't necessarily have enough people to

01:53:38.040 --> 01:53:41.160
Make a game like tf2 fun just within your land

01:53:42.040 --> 01:53:44.840
If you have enough people to make the server look active

01:53:45.480 --> 01:53:49.720
you can Jump into a a type that you want. So you want like

01:53:51.880 --> 01:53:56.600
24 seven Gold rush or whatever it's called you could like jump in there

01:53:57.160 --> 01:54:01.000
And then you have enough people in there that other people will join the server as well, which is cool

01:54:01.560 --> 01:54:08.840
Um, we've got to play that first game savage We've got to play that at the first whale land because you've told me about it so many times and I've never played it

01:54:09.720 --> 01:54:15.320
It's it was old when I used to play it and I used to play it when I was in university. So it's like

01:54:17.720 --> 01:54:20.040
It's pretty old at this point. Um

01:54:20.760 --> 01:54:24.280
But it's it's yeah, if you if you have two like commander

01:54:24.920 --> 01:54:30.600
projector screen type people because basically one player on each team plays an rts

01:54:31.560 --> 01:54:36.040
And everyone else on those teams plays essentially

01:54:36.200 --> 01:54:39.640
Uh an FPS. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. There's savage resurrection

01:54:41.160 --> 01:54:43.880
What's that from eight coverage from eight years ago?

01:54:46.280 --> 01:54:48.280
Oh, yeah, I don't know

01:54:50.040 --> 01:54:55.080
Here what is this so this video is from the war owl has a quarter million views

01:54:55.880 --> 01:55:01.480
Uh, I know that creator. Yeah This video is a paid promotion by s2 games for savage resurrection

01:55:01.480 --> 01:55:06.520
So it must be a cult classic from the tail end of the second golden age of gaming returns with savage resurrection

01:55:07.080 --> 01:55:10.680
Was ahead of its time in 2003. Well today is today savage has returned

01:55:11.240 --> 01:55:15.480
So here it is. Yeah, apparently there's a relatively modern savage luke

01:55:18.520 --> 01:55:20.520
Interest on no idea. Yeah

01:55:21.720 --> 01:55:25.560
We're gonna have to try it. I don't know if it's any good, but we'll definitely have to try it

01:55:26.440 --> 01:55:30.680
I'm gonna here. I'll click. I'll click. I'll go to the steam stores. Oh reviews mixed

01:55:33.160 --> 01:55:37.880
Don't be a death sentence. Don't be misguided by the positive reviews. This game is dead

01:55:38.280 --> 01:55:42.120
There's no one online and no single player content devs made it pretty clear

01:55:42.120 --> 01:55:46.520
They won't be supporting this game anymore. Do not buy this is from september of 2016

01:55:47.800 --> 01:55:50.680
I mean that makes sense. That makes sense by that at all

01:55:52.200 --> 01:55:57.000
Uh, yeah So

01:55:57.000 --> 01:56:04.440
Yeah, uh Like the first savage even I remember when when someone was talking to me about it. I was like, how does this make any sense?

01:56:04.440 --> 01:56:08.680
like this this Almost isn't viable outside of

01:56:09.480 --> 01:56:14.920
Land parties at schools. Like how is this game? How is this game possibly viable at all?

01:56:15.400 --> 01:56:23.240
Notice at the request of the publisher Savage resurrection is unlisted on steam and will not appear in search. So this game is actually

01:56:23.640 --> 01:56:27.000
Dead, can you buy can you buy a game that's unlisted though?

01:56:27.960 --> 01:56:33.000
I actually don't know and i'm not uh, i'm not logged into steam on this computer. So i'm i'm kind of curious now

01:56:33.080 --> 01:56:37.800
We're gonna we're gonna have to try it right now on the website

01:56:38.280 --> 01:56:41.960
It doesn't You can't buy it

01:56:41.960 --> 01:56:44.600
Man, this is man. This is sad

01:56:45.240 --> 01:56:50.280
The fact that games just are removed from storefronts and the and the and that's it

01:56:50.600 --> 01:56:55.240
So sad Apparently there's also savage XR

01:56:56.680 --> 01:57:01.560
So it's a 16 v 16 game with human commanders. So I I think that means

01:57:02.280 --> 01:57:07.800
I don't think that 34 players 15 versus 15 and then commanders either way. That's pretty cool

01:57:09.400 --> 01:57:12.120
Yeah, apparently savage XR is something as well

01:57:13.400 --> 01:57:18.520
What's that Savage XR download the rts and FPS game

01:57:19.080 --> 01:57:24.280
Uh Okay, uh, well, this is a website

01:57:24.760 --> 01:57:29.480
Um, the first the free real-time strategy shooter for Windows Linux and mac play for free

01:57:30.360 --> 01:57:36.920
Be a commander or a warrior six savage XR the successor of the 2000s read the battle from new earth takes the best game. Yeah

01:57:37.720 --> 01:57:45.800
interesting Okay Well, um, cool. That's probably that's probably worth checking out at some point. Maybe I don't know

01:57:48.520 --> 01:57:55.160
Nice website though. Yeah, both their publishers or their developers still doing anything or not. I do know that, um

01:57:55.480 --> 01:57:58.280
When there was that big rush for like dota style games

01:57:58.840 --> 01:58:06.040
They I'm pretty sure they were the ones that made heroes of new earth because I think savage was yes savage the battle for new earth

01:58:06.840 --> 01:58:11.560
um There's some some random history there

01:58:14.120 --> 01:58:17.080
All right games.com. Let's see. Why don't we do our next topic?

01:58:17.960 --> 01:58:21.880
Hmm gaming in the usa is about to get terrifable

01:58:23.880 --> 01:58:33.640
Yeah, I know, um On november 25th president elect trump promised a flat 25 tariff on goods coming into america from both canada and mexico

01:58:33.960 --> 01:58:36.680
As well as a 10 tariff on goods from china

01:58:37.240 --> 01:58:42.920
Uh, some examples of things the us imports from these countries are about 60 of their, uh,

01:58:42.920 --> 01:58:45.880
Crude import, uh, crude oil imports those come from canada

01:58:46.280 --> 01:58:52.200
Almost a billion dollars worth of sugar from mexico, but probably more relevant to our audience a lot of tech products from china

01:58:52.600 --> 01:58:58.120
Uh, for example, the xbox series x is almost entirely manufactured in china as well as a ton of pc components

01:58:58.600 --> 01:59:06.200
discussion question here is Would manufacturing move back to the usa to help circumvent these tariffs?

01:59:06.280 --> 01:59:10.200
And we uh, probably aren't going to get into a ton of detail on this on wancho because

01:59:10.600 --> 01:59:13.080
We have a full video coming about this

01:59:13.720 --> 01:59:21.160
Over the next little bit. Um, I think it's oh actually it's coming out on sunday. We basically kind of dive into

01:59:21.960 --> 01:59:26.440
The politics aside math is math. Um

01:59:28.920 --> 01:59:33.800
Why this is going to affect prices at the till and uh, why

01:59:34.440 --> 01:59:39.160
Now may be a good time to kind of jump on a new pc or some some new electronics

01:59:39.880 --> 01:59:43.800
Our other discussion question though is do you see any side effects from this?

01:59:44.520 --> 01:59:47.080
Either positive or negative other than just

01:59:47.960 --> 01:59:52.760
Higher priced electronics and one of the examples is riley had an interesting take where

01:59:53.800 --> 01:59:58.760
Or he saw an interesting take where maybe subscription based gaming services

01:59:59.320 --> 02:00:03.320
Could boom because people don't want to buy the hardware

02:00:03.960 --> 02:00:07.400
But wouldn't be paying a tariff tax

02:00:07.400 --> 02:00:09.400
On something like g-force now

02:00:11.320 --> 02:00:13.320
Could we see like an unexpected

02:00:14.760 --> 02:00:18.600
Benefactor or not benefactor a beneficiary of this

02:00:20.360 --> 02:00:25.640
Could do you think things like g-force now might go up in price though as they have to pay more for their hardware?

02:00:26.760 --> 02:00:34.200
um, no because my understanding is NVIDIA does a lot of their manufacturing with um, uh

02:00:35.080 --> 02:00:38.520
With foxconn in taiwan don't quote me on it being in taiwan

02:00:38.520 --> 02:00:42.040
But i'm pretty sure that NVIDIA's first party cards are not manufactured in china

02:00:42.040 --> 02:00:45.240
Which is why founders additions were so cheap last time around

02:00:46.120 --> 02:00:54.680
ah Okay, yeah, so just because NVIDIA's saving on tariffs on their cards doesn't mean that their retail price will necessarily be reasonable

02:00:55.000 --> 02:00:59.560
But what it does mean is that their costs are fine. So they'd be happy to lease you those cards

02:00:59.880 --> 02:01:04.600
Yeah, if they see the competition going more expensive because of tariffs, they'll just go with them probably

02:01:06.440 --> 02:01:12.920
Well, we talk about that in the video how even if you've moved your manufacturing out if the competitive landscape shifts and

02:01:13.480 --> 02:01:16.760
I don't know everyone's paying this price anyway. You just hey, thanks for the margin

02:01:17.080 --> 02:01:26.680
Uh, so we we kind of get into the the corporate logic that accompanies the decision-making process that leads to things like shrinkflation and uh, just

02:01:27.240 --> 02:01:30.760
generally Generally

02:01:30.760 --> 02:01:34.440
Did you guys talk about the whole like, um, I don't know the proper terminology for it

02:01:34.520 --> 02:01:38.520
But when there's effectively a shell company in a country that's not being tariffed

02:01:39.400 --> 02:01:45.000
And you know, we didn't talk about that to them ship it to them and then then they sell it to the states

02:01:45.480 --> 02:01:49.080
Yeah, we we didn't talk about that. Um, we basically just

02:01:49.720 --> 02:01:55.880
Focused on the very very very simple dumbed-down version of just like hey

02:01:56.520 --> 02:01:59.960
when costs go up price go up

02:01:59.960 --> 02:02:05.080
because As much as that may be common sense, um to a lot of people

02:02:06.040 --> 02:02:10.120
It seems like there are some people

02:02:10.760 --> 02:02:14.920
who don't that

02:02:14.920 --> 02:02:17.400
I mean, there's a lot of people that didn't even know what tariffs are so

02:02:18.040 --> 02:02:21.080
Yeah, it was really uh, if you have you looked at the google trends

02:02:23.080 --> 02:02:26.920
No, oh, this is really funny. Um, check this out

02:02:29.640 --> 02:02:32.440
Hold on hold on wait for it wait for it

02:02:35.720 --> 02:02:41.640
Check this out you're gonna love this Uh, let's look at let's look at the past 90 days for no particular reason

02:02:42.440 --> 02:02:46.680
um Interest over time for search term tariffs

02:02:47.880 --> 02:02:49.880
spiked on

02:02:51.000 --> 02:02:55.320
You guessed it november 26th. I wonder why

02:02:58.760 --> 02:03:03.960
I want what what's that spike before it? What's that one? I don't remember november the 8th

02:03:04.760 --> 02:03:08.680
It reached its uh 61 percent of its november 26 high

02:03:09.800 --> 02:03:11.800
Pretty funny

02:03:14.440 --> 02:03:20.840
Very interesting Yep, so or wait. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry point of clarification

02:03:21.400 --> 02:03:26.600
um The the the rise sorry. Sorry. Sorry. I do know the answer to that

02:03:27.160 --> 02:03:35.640
The rise after The after this is really funny after the election was people being like wait, what?

02:03:36.680 --> 02:03:38.840
And then this was uh, the recent announcement

02:03:40.520 --> 02:03:47.080
Uh, gotcha. Yeah Yeah, it's pretty uh, pretty good pretty good. Um, yeah

02:03:47.080 --> 02:03:53.960
So there was like a big peak in the lead up to the election and then like uh, a bunch of people figuring out after the election what tariffs were

02:03:54.680 --> 02:04:03.320
Oh All right, so that's uh, that's something so uh, yeah, good luck everybody should be good. Um

02:04:04.760 --> 02:04:08.440
Yep, cool. Uh, anyway, yeah, so we have a video coming on that

02:04:09.560 --> 02:04:12.120
Uh, what what what else we oh, here's a big topic

02:04:13.320 --> 02:04:18.120
XOS has entered early access beta. So luke

02:04:19.080 --> 02:04:23.160
Uh esh tech. This is the nas software company. This is this is my second

02:04:23.720 --> 02:04:28.280
My second investment. Uh, and this one was at a very different stage

02:04:28.360 --> 02:04:34.520
This was like like angel level like like first money into the company that is not from the devs directly

02:04:35.160 --> 02:04:45.400
um Esh tech the nas software company that I've personally invested in announced yesterday thursday the 28th that hexos is going into early access beta

02:04:45.880 --> 02:04:51.480
We actually have a full video coming tomorrow. That is the first time that I saw it

02:04:52.440 --> 02:04:55.240
I gave them the money two years ago. Can you believe it's been two years?

02:04:57.800 --> 02:05:01.240
Two years ago and in that two years

02:05:01.640 --> 02:05:05.080
I literally didn't see it other than a couple little like

02:05:05.720 --> 02:05:09.240
Mockups of what the vibe was going to be like I hadn't

02:05:09.880 --> 02:05:14.760
Gotten to try it at all Jake got to try it before I got to try it

02:05:14.760 --> 02:05:17.960
He got on a call with john john got him all set up with the beta and he like

02:05:18.360 --> 02:05:24.200
Set it up and got some demos ready for us to do this video. So that video the video coming tomorrow is me

02:05:25.080 --> 02:05:28.520
fresh eyes hadn't seen it before

02:05:28.520 --> 02:05:32.360
Getting to experience hexos and have some idea if they have a shot

02:05:33.160 --> 02:05:37.400
at all Pretty exciting

02:05:37.800 --> 02:05:44.200
To celebrate the launch esh tech is offering their lifetime license. I talked to them about lifetime license. I was like look

02:05:45.080 --> 02:05:51.880
I understand subscriptions are the way of the future. They're the they support developers. They actually genuinely do not every company

02:05:52.280 --> 02:05:59.880
is all about just like Ringing as much blood from their customer stone as possible through subscriptions

02:05:59.880 --> 02:06:05.640
Sometimes it's just about having a sustainable business model. I get that but I told them it was very important to me

02:06:06.200 --> 02:06:13.960
That a lifetime license would exist. They have taken that extremely seriously a lifetime license will exist

02:06:14.280 --> 02:06:16.520
It will be three hundred dollars per machine

02:06:17.640 --> 02:06:21.160
later Right now It is

02:06:21.160 --> 02:06:25.960
99 dollars. It's a hundred dollars Which is kind of nuts

02:06:26.440 --> 02:06:29.000
Well, remember people are taking a risk alerted that

02:06:29.800 --> 02:06:35.800
People are taking a risk though. Yeah, esh tech is a brand new company. Literally brand new company. They just went out of hiding

02:06:36.280 --> 02:06:43.320
And maybe they don't exist in the future, right? We acknowledge that in the video and we talk about, you know, what the mitigations would be for that, right?

02:06:43.960 --> 02:06:48.520
um A hundred dollars is a lot to give something that is early access and

02:06:48.920 --> 02:06:53.000
Something that we've talked about a lot on this channel pre-ordering, right? But there are mitigations

02:06:53.400 --> 02:07:00.360
So one is that it's built on top of true nas So even if they were to disappear you would still have a true nas nas that's still true nas

02:07:00.760 --> 02:07:07.400
And number two is that they're offering a 30 day trial period where they will offer a refund if you're not happy with the product

02:07:08.120 --> 02:07:11.560
so that Helps a lot

02:07:11.720 --> 02:07:17.080
Um So, yeah 99 dollars for black friday. Uh, that will be available until

02:07:17.800 --> 02:07:24.920
December the second after that Early access to the lifetime license will be 200 dollars

02:07:25.800 --> 02:07:32.200
Uh, so yeah, the video is going to go into a lot more detail But the goal of hexos is to focus on creating a user friendly and simple interface

02:07:32.520 --> 02:07:38.600
So anyone who could set up who anyone who could install Windows xp should be able to install configure and use

02:07:38.920 --> 02:07:45.720
hexos Is is basically where we're at actually maybe a little better than Windows xp is is what we would strive for and that doesn't just include

02:07:45.960 --> 02:07:51.000
Like file sharing That should include things like buddy backup, which we'll talk about in the video

02:07:51.480 --> 02:07:55.000
That should include things like setting up apps

02:07:55.000 --> 02:07:59.320
Whether it's like plex or image some of those just are like needlessly obtuse

02:07:59.720 --> 02:08:06.920
To set up and get working just to have the the the basic functionality that you want going and there's been kind of two takes

02:08:07.320 --> 02:08:13.240
There's been two takes on this Uh, one of the takes i've seen is this is stupid, right?

02:08:13.880 --> 02:08:16.840
Like what it's just a skin for trunas like i already have trunas

02:08:18.040 --> 02:08:20.440
Like they sorry they want how many hundreds of dollars?

02:08:21.240 --> 02:08:23.240
and then the other take from people who

02:08:24.440 --> 02:08:28.840
Don't post on reddit has been to throw money at ftech

02:08:30.360 --> 02:08:39.960
To say that they've had a pretty Good initial launch would be a gross understatement because as it turns out the number of people that want the

02:08:40.840 --> 02:08:44.920
The reliability and the trustworthiness of trunas

02:08:45.480 --> 02:08:53.400
But don't want to faff about with arcane permissions and processes on trunas is actually

02:08:54.440 --> 02:09:00.040
Pretty big So it's it's been an exciting couple of days for those guys and uh, yeah

02:09:00.200 --> 02:09:02.600
I'm extremely proud of them really happy for them

02:09:03.240 --> 02:09:12.360
It's it's it's pretty exciting elijah actually has a comment in here He says won't lie kind of bummed out seeing how many people missed the point of this software and just immediately complained about the price

02:09:12.840 --> 02:09:16.920
Personally, I think 300 bucks is totally fine for a lifetime license to software

02:09:17.240 --> 02:09:21.320
Especially because I spent over an hour trying to figure out plex on my trunas setup law

02:09:22.120 --> 02:09:26.440
Uh, and then highlighted a comment that in particular made him upset

02:09:26.520 --> 02:09:32.040
But I'm not even going to bother reading the comment because uh, it's okay. I'll read one part of the comment

02:09:32.040 --> 02:09:37.160
It said just get a q-nap for a little bit more. It's like right, but that q-nap you can't upgrade

02:09:37.240 --> 02:09:40.680
That's that's how they get you that's the subscription

02:09:41.320 --> 02:09:47.880
Is if you ever want more bays or if you ever want a decent amount of processing power, you're gonna have to buy a new one

02:09:49.160 --> 02:09:53.160
Software baby software

02:09:53.880 --> 02:09:58.440
So yeah, pretty exciting People have a lot of pretty good questions

02:09:58.600 --> 02:10:04.200
Yeah, robotech robotech asks can hex us run offline without any connection to their deck login

02:10:04.520 --> 02:10:08.840
That was something that they bunged up in their initial messaging for the product

02:10:09.640 --> 02:10:14.520
Right now you have to connect to the cloud dashboard, but at launch

02:10:15.000 --> 02:10:17.500
They will have a local only dashboard

02:10:18.440 --> 02:10:23.160
And the reason for that should actually buy things on a promise of features. Yes. Yes

02:10:23.960 --> 02:10:27.560
yes that but I

02:10:28.600 --> 02:10:33.400
Believe that they have heard the community and understand the importance of local management

02:10:33.400 --> 02:10:39.080
I mean, I told them the same thing I actually found out about the lack of local management from that interview

02:10:39.480 --> 02:10:43.560
Um, and I was like, yo I wouldn't use it

02:10:43.560 --> 02:10:48.280
If it couldn't be accessed without an internet connection and they're like, okay, that's for sure. Yeah

02:10:50.120 --> 02:10:56.120
Um Roy saw asks does the lifetime membership include all feature updates to my knowledge

02:10:56.360 --> 02:10:59.480
It does the best thing to do though would be to go

02:11:00.280 --> 02:11:07.240
To the hexos website So it's a hexos.com h-e-x-o-s dot com

02:11:08.440 --> 02:11:14.520
Uh, there's some there's some things that are still a little bit hard to like, uh, in the text right above the deal

02:11:14.520 --> 02:11:19.560
This has get early access to hexos beta and limited access to hexos and all its core features

02:11:20.280 --> 02:11:26.040
asterisk So they will add new features that may be paid features

02:11:26.360 --> 02:11:31.800
Because some of the features that they add are going to have costs on their side. So they're doing some

02:11:33.000 --> 02:11:40.600
Like okay, uh, yeah, you don't use home assistant But for any of you out there who use home assistant, for instance, you can set up home assistant

02:11:41.240 --> 02:11:48.120
for Unpaid remote access Or you can pay them a subscription and they make it way

02:11:48.840 --> 02:11:54.680
Simpler they streamline the remote access process and the reason that you have to pay a very very reasonable subscription fee for that

02:11:54.920 --> 02:11:57.640
Is that there are infrastructure costs on their end to maintain it?

02:11:58.280 --> 02:12:06.120
So I think the reason for the asterisk is that they will introduce features in the future that will be paid features because

02:12:06.680 --> 02:12:10.520
There's ongoing costs. You will not get anything that has an ongoing cost

02:12:11.000 --> 02:12:13.240
For example, if they were to have a yeah, go ahead

02:12:14.200 --> 02:12:19.080
I completely agree with what you're saying the problem The problem in my opinion is the wording doesn't sound like that

02:12:19.560 --> 02:12:23.800
Uh, the asterisk says some features will not immediately be available in hexos beta

02:12:24.120 --> 02:12:29.560
But a lifetime license grants you access to all features of hexos forever

02:12:29.880 --> 02:12:36.840
Including con base backup premium support services and other metered services, which makes it

02:12:37.560 --> 02:12:41.800
sound You know considering it says

02:12:41.800 --> 02:12:48.200
All features including other metered services. It sounds like quite literally everything is included forever to any degree

02:12:50.520 --> 02:12:54.680
Which doesn't seem legit because that doesn't make any sense in my opinion

02:12:57.240 --> 02:13:00.760
But I'm trying to find a way that sounds like that I'm trying to find their forum

02:13:01.160 --> 02:13:04.840
It's hub dot hexos dot com if you guys have any questions

02:13:05.160 --> 02:13:11.960
That's by far the best place to post it because like I said the first time I saw hexos was like a week ago when we filmed that video

02:13:13.880 --> 02:13:16.840
So take everything that I'm saying for what it is

02:13:17.800 --> 02:13:19.800
Everything that I'm saying for what it is

02:13:20.840 --> 02:13:25.080
Did I just dyslexia word? Oh

02:13:26.200 --> 02:13:30.600
Oh Okay, that makes a lot more sense

02:13:32.120 --> 02:13:34.520
Freaking me out of here because that really did sound pretty bad

02:13:35.480 --> 02:13:39.720
I was like that makes no sense and that makes sense because it didn't make any sense because I read it wrong

02:13:40.440 --> 02:13:46.440
Excluding all the things that wouldn't make sense like cloud-based backup premium support services and other metered services. Okay, good

02:13:48.600 --> 02:13:57.000
Anyway, the last thing that I wanted to say about hexos is that the cool the coolest part of this project is that the other investor is x systems

02:13:57.960 --> 02:14:02.440
um And if you don't know who x systems is here's a hint

02:14:03.320 --> 02:14:05.320
They make true nas

02:14:07.480 --> 02:14:12.040
Oh, wow no way. Yeah That's kind of cool actually

02:14:12.280 --> 02:14:15.720
Yeah, so this is one of those things where I feel like a lot of people have gone

02:14:16.600 --> 02:14:19.080
Why would I want hexos? I've true. Well, yeah

02:14:19.640 --> 02:14:25.800
If you know how to admit true nas then by all means no one's telling you that you like if you don't need the handholding then that's fine

02:14:26.200 --> 02:14:31.000
But what I suspect is that for every one vocal person

02:14:32.600 --> 02:14:39.080
For every one vocal person who is uh, saying like this is stupid. I I'll just roll true nas

02:14:39.480 --> 02:14:43.080
There's probably a hundred people who have no interest in learning true nas

02:14:43.800 --> 02:14:50.920
True nas is an enterprise tool True nas is not designed for home users and it it never as far as I can tell

02:14:51.240 --> 02:14:57.480
Based on that I've given them a lot of the feedback that I gave to the hexos team about what hexos should look like and they haven't implemented it

02:14:57.720 --> 02:15:04.200
True nas is never going to be a consumer tool and the fact that they invested in hexos seems to be acknowledgement of that

02:15:04.440 --> 02:15:08.920
They know they have a great product a stable product a good product

02:15:09.480 --> 02:15:15.320
But it isn't this product and they were like, okay Well, we could just invest in this product and then we have a piece of it and then they can make it

02:15:16.280 --> 02:15:21.800
That's cool. By the way, john for john from ash tech is texting me. He's like, oh my god, luke

02:15:22.600 --> 02:15:26.200
stop I just saw it

02:15:28.440 --> 02:15:30.440
Oh

02:15:32.040 --> 02:15:34.040
Yeah, he's like, what the f***

02:15:35.240 --> 02:15:37.240
Blow it up my phone

02:15:38.440 --> 02:15:44.360
Well, if it's any consolation, I'm just like buying it right now. So I'm I'm paying for my mistake. All right, okay

02:15:44.840 --> 02:15:50.280
I think he'll get over it then Um, anyway, cool. So I'm I'm really excited about it

02:15:50.840 --> 02:15:54.920
Really proud of what the team has done. You guys are gonna see it in way more detail tomorrow

02:15:55.000 --> 02:16:00.600
Um, it's it's the product that only exists because

02:16:02.040 --> 02:16:04.600
John and Eric the founders and I

02:16:05.480 --> 02:16:10.760
share this belief That a diy nas shouldn't be hard

02:16:11.720 --> 02:16:15.160
You shouldn't have to understand like

02:16:17.240 --> 02:16:24.360
Like what what's the what is it acl like the the access control permissions thing? I still don't understand acl

02:16:24.840 --> 02:16:31.560
Yeah, you you shouldn't it's so hard. You shouldn't have to understand acl to set up a plexa container

02:16:32.200 --> 02:16:40.600
You shouldn't have to you should just Like the the funny thing is is a lot of these a lot of these nas platforms like they have an app store

02:16:40.920 --> 02:16:44.120
But they have fundamentally failed to understand

02:16:44.600 --> 02:16:49.160
What makes the app store and when I say the app store, I mean apple's app store

02:16:49.560 --> 02:16:55.560
They have fundamentally misunderstood what makes the app store the app store

02:16:58.040 --> 02:17:01.880
One click that's what makes something an app store

02:17:03.000 --> 02:17:10.600
That's the s that's the aspiration And you know what there's going to be stuff that's going to still be challenging on xos because you can't do anything

02:17:11.000 --> 02:17:15.480
About you know, how an open source developer of a particular app or container

02:17:15.960 --> 02:17:21.560
implements it you can't you can't You can't be in charge of that, but what you can do is you can create tutorials

02:17:21.560 --> 02:17:24.680
What you can do is you can simplify as many things as possible

02:17:24.680 --> 02:17:29.720
I mean even Jake he was telling me about this just like off camera before we even started this project

02:17:29.720 --> 02:17:33.320
He's like, yeah, dude. I looked at image like on a weekend and I was like

02:17:34.840 --> 02:17:39.640
Nope And he went back and he figured it out later because he likes a challenge, but

02:17:40.840 --> 02:17:43.800
He's the kind of person who literally does this stuff for fun and he's like

02:17:44.680 --> 02:17:50.600
What are all these parameters? Why do I need all of this? I just I want my pictures from here to there. That's that's all I care about

02:17:51.320 --> 02:17:57.720
Understanding what an average user actually cares about is something that I just I feel like a lot of

02:17:58.360 --> 02:18:02.920
folks don't and and that's something that that the esh tech team is really passionate about

02:18:05.240 --> 02:18:07.240
I would again

02:18:08.520 --> 02:18:13.320
Yeah, I'm very excited about this If it if it if it's any consolation to john

02:18:14.280 --> 02:18:17.720
Because I screwed up reading their site. I just bought it. So hopefully that helps

02:18:19.800 --> 02:18:25.160
But he wants a pound of flesh to remember it's it's software and a beta right? He says buy two

02:18:25.400 --> 02:18:30.280
He says buy two right now Don't don't listen don't listen to him. Don't listen once enough

02:18:31.400 --> 02:18:34.600
Pay my pennants. Um, I'm only buying one but uh

02:18:35.720 --> 02:18:39.960
I'm gonna I'm gonna probably use Linus as my as my buddy backup

02:18:40.600 --> 02:18:44.600
Yeah, man, I told you I I told Jake. I wanted to do it as like an employee perk

02:18:45.240 --> 02:18:48.520
Because we could like we could make a video about it and and like we could

02:18:49.160 --> 02:18:53.640
Yeah, we could make a video about building like the cheapest petabyte or something like that

02:18:53.640 --> 02:19:01.880
I think we'd have to cap certain people like Jake But but if we had like a buddy backup target at the office that would be an off-site backup

02:19:02.200 --> 02:19:06.280
That wouldn't have an ongoing monthly cost and that's like that's the idea

02:19:06.520 --> 02:19:12.200
That's the nirvana that I would I would think that making nas more accessible could achieve

02:19:13.320 --> 02:19:16.120
And in the long term I could see them monetizing it

02:19:16.440 --> 02:19:19.960
I could see them building their own like hex cloud or like hex token

02:19:20.360 --> 02:19:24.760
Like and and I know as soon as you talk about tokens or coins or whatever everything gets real cringe

02:19:25.320 --> 02:19:30.600
But hold on a second. That's an actual like like valid legitimate uses for it. Yeah

02:19:31.640 --> 02:19:37.160
Super cool. Yeah I think uh, I think their payment portal might be having some trouble

02:19:37.800 --> 02:19:47.000
Uh, yeah, it's probably it's not the first time I asked john how much I was allowed to share about the success that they've enjoyed over the last little bit

02:19:47.560 --> 02:19:52.680
And he said you can say that our mail servers went down from the surge when we launched

02:19:53.160 --> 02:19:57.160
Uh, and we've been blown away by the initial response and the first beta invites went out tonight

02:19:59.080 --> 02:20:07.640
Yeah, very very good. Oh, yeah Great job. Also, it took a long time, but it did process it went through so like their stuff is working. Good job

02:20:10.120 --> 02:20:13.880
Riley's comment is so funny. Okay. I'm going to read that comment that made elijah mad

02:20:14.440 --> 02:20:21.720
It said with this $300 you can buy yourself a Linux course or book and it will be infinitely more useful throughout your life

02:20:22.040 --> 02:20:26.440
It will teach you how containers work and you'll be able to install any Linux distribution of your choice

02:20:26.840 --> 02:20:34.120
Install docker plus compose or podman plus quadlet or kubernetes and set up your own nas as a bonus. You'll have a marketable skill

02:20:35.480 --> 02:20:37.480
Riley's comment on this is I ain't doing all that

02:20:42.280 --> 02:20:45.880
Yeah, Riley's got it. Yeah, like I based Riley

02:20:46.840 --> 02:20:52.760
That's just true Elijah says I made the exact same face luke. Elijah doesn't get it

02:20:53.400 --> 02:20:55.800
Dude, it's so painful. I like

02:20:56.680 --> 02:21:01.960
I don't know. I I deeply respect the whole home lab idea, especially for for it people

02:21:02.680 --> 02:21:11.000
But some people don't want to do that And even people that want to you know do professional development in their own free time

02:21:11.720 --> 02:21:15.160
You know, maybe they don't want to do professional development on that in particular

02:21:17.720 --> 02:21:20.600
It's a crazy idea to some people that just because someone

02:21:21.320 --> 02:21:24.440
Fixes their motorcycle doesn't mean they want to fix

02:21:25.000 --> 02:21:30.760
Their washing machine just because someone fixes their washing machine and their motorcycle doesn't mean they want to fix their computer

02:21:31.240 --> 02:21:40.600
There are things that I diy Like Dan loves this story about how I di wide putting new rubbers into my windshield wipers

02:21:41.080 --> 02:21:46.200
So big because I didn't want to because I didn't want to like throw away the entire apparatus

02:21:46.360 --> 02:21:51.320
And I read somewhere that you could just replace the rubber and it was it was a whole it was a whole ordeal

02:21:51.560 --> 02:21:56.440
He loves that. Um, but the reality of it is when my you know, I'm trying to think of something

02:21:57.000 --> 02:22:01.000
um When my garbarator dies

02:22:01.400 --> 02:22:10.440
I'll probably just hire a plumber to come put it in I don't do everything myself because there are things that I'm passionate about or I want to learn about or that I'm interested in

02:22:10.440 --> 02:22:17.560
Or that I have some requisite knowledge for Um, I'll I'll usually spend a little bit of time figuring it out myself like when I installed my ledwig bidet

02:22:17.560 --> 02:22:20.760
I did that myself. I'm not going to hire a plumber to do something stupid like that

02:22:20.760 --> 02:22:24.120
Like there's you know, everyone's got their limits and everyone's got their passion projects

02:22:24.120 --> 02:22:31.240
But nobody has time to learn everything and some people just want to pick their battles and for some people that battle is not a

02:22:31.320 --> 02:22:34.520
nas It ain't true nas

02:22:34.520 --> 02:22:41.960
And that's okay And that's okay Like if you you know make enough money, you know riding surfboards and

02:22:42.680 --> 02:22:46.840
Beautiful women or whatever that you can afford to hire someone else to fix your computer

02:22:47.160 --> 02:22:52.520
Then like that's great And if and if you make enough money fixing computers that you can afford to

02:22:53.320 --> 02:22:58.040
Buy a surfboard and wait. Okay. Hold on. This this breaks down a little bit. The point is just that

02:22:58.920 --> 02:23:00.920
Some people are some people do

02:23:02.120 --> 02:23:04.120
Sure

02:23:08.360 --> 02:23:16.840
If you could okay, uh, the ftc the ftc is warning that a failure to commit to software support could be illegal

02:23:17.960 --> 02:23:24.920
A new ftc report warns companies that failing to disclose how long they'll they'll offer official support for their products

02:23:25.320 --> 02:23:29.240
May be illegal under the magnificent moss warranty act

02:23:29.720 --> 02:23:35.080
The report has been praised by public interest groups concerned about software tethering

02:23:35.240 --> 02:23:43.560
Which makes devices reliant on software updates from the manufacturer and companies randomly deciding to brick devices like the spotify car thing

02:23:44.040 --> 02:23:51.080
The ftc examined 184 smart products and found that nearly 89 percent of manufacturers

02:23:51.400 --> 02:23:55.080
Did not disclose this information on their product web pages

02:23:55.800 --> 02:24:00.920
And if they do include it some manufacturers bury this information in specs support pages or footnotes

02:24:01.240 --> 02:24:05.560
And some use ambiguous language like lifetime technical support

02:24:06.840 --> 02:24:11.240
Failing to disclose software support information could violate the magnus and moss warranty act

02:24:11.240 --> 02:24:17.640
Which requires warranties to include a clear description of what is covered. So hey, uh, ash tech john. I know you're watching right now

02:24:19.000 --> 02:24:23.480
Make sure you're doing this Cool. Thanks. That's my investor advice

02:24:24.200 --> 02:24:30.680
Uh, okay, it could also violate the ftc act if the omissions or misrepresentations about software support are likely to

02:24:31.000 --> 02:24:36.840
lead consumers I don't know what to say other than lina kahn based

02:24:37.240 --> 02:24:44.600
And i'm gonna be so sad to see her go and I really hope that all of these balls that she started rolling

02:24:44.920 --> 02:24:47.800
Don't just immediately get destroyed

02:24:48.360 --> 02:24:56.680
um Lina kahn we want you here in canada if you're tired of um, if you're tired of

02:24:57.640 --> 02:25:02.840
What's Going to happen to all the great work that you and your organization have done over the last little while

02:25:04.200 --> 02:25:09.640
That'd be sweet. You could come run it if you want. Yeah, honestly, I'd vote you. I'd vote. I'd vote immediately

02:25:09.800 --> 02:25:14.920
Do we have the same Dude, do we have the same rules as the u.s. Where you like can't be prime minister if you're not

02:25:15.480 --> 02:25:20.440
Naturally naturally born canadian like like you can't be president if you're not born in america

02:25:21.240 --> 02:25:25.400
Can you be prime minister if not born again? I look that autocompleted

02:25:26.280 --> 02:25:31.880
23 people have served as prime minister since the office came into existence in 1867 really only 23 people. Wow, okay

02:25:32.520 --> 02:25:37.080
19 have been born in canada 4 have been born outside of canada including johnny mcdonald

02:25:37.160 --> 02:25:41.400
It's kind of a like big deal prime minister or whatever. He's on our money. I don't actually know what he did pretty important

02:25:41.960 --> 02:25:45.640
Um, I don't know. I think they should just take him off and put terry fox on the money, but that's just me

02:25:47.960 --> 02:25:49.960
Dan wasn't talking into his mic, but he agrees

02:25:51.560 --> 02:25:56.120
No, that came through actually Yeah, that's why I sit over here sometimes

02:25:56.120 --> 02:26:00.040
That's why I sometimes yell really loud while i'm over here. So it just comes through your mics is a

02:26:00.600 --> 02:26:04.680
Effect you need to be able to speak french. I don't know lina kahn's based enough that she could probably learn french

02:26:04.680 --> 02:26:07.400
I think she'd figure it out. Yeah, I would like her more if she did. Yeah

02:26:09.640 --> 02:26:14.040
Yeah, but you're british. I mean your biases your biases

02:26:14.040 --> 02:26:20.120
Everyone is who isn't british is foreign. That's how it works. Someone posted on the subreddit again british

02:26:20.440 --> 02:26:29.400
And I was like, yeah, but we like him anyway It's where the dry wit comes from one of those canadiens are the good ones. So don't push your luck

02:26:31.320 --> 02:26:38.920
Intel's battle mage leaks Intel's latest GPU known as battle mage ark may be launching soon according to leaks

02:26:39.480 --> 02:26:43.000
uh amazon leaks, that's a sentence fragment anyway, um

02:26:45.240 --> 02:26:49.320
Leaks of pricing seem to fall in the 250 to 260 dollar range

02:26:49.640 --> 02:26:56.040
With one leaker implying that there will only be desktop GPU's not discreet laptop GPU's this time around

02:26:56.520 --> 02:27:03.800
discussion question Do you think with Intel having a rough year so far that this could be enough to get people excited for them again?

02:27:04.920 --> 02:27:13.800
I I would be willing to get excited if the performance is really good in the 250 to 260 dollar range man. We need

02:27:14.440 --> 02:27:17.000
A valid affordable GPU option

02:27:17.800 --> 02:27:21.240
I need a valid option guys and and

02:27:21.240 --> 02:27:27.640
It's talking about software support They have taken arc alchemist first gen arc from basically

02:27:28.280 --> 02:27:38.920
unusable garbage to Actually working in the vast majority of games hardware unbox found that it worked in what was it 94 97 percent of games

02:27:38.920 --> 02:27:47.960
He tested like over 250 games That's pretty good and the ones that didn't work a lot of them were like old random stuff

02:27:47.960 --> 02:27:52.040
where he was basically trying to find stuff that it wouldn't work with and and

02:27:52.600 --> 02:27:59.400
Often it was overcomable because the game wouldn't work properly because it would not detect an Intel GPU as a discreet GPU

02:27:59.400 --> 02:28:05.240
And it would think you had on board because back when that game was made Intel discreet GPU wasn't even a twinkle in pat gelsinger's eye

02:28:06.360 --> 02:28:13.080
so I Man, I really I really hope it's any good. I really hope it's any good

02:28:13.880 --> 02:28:22.440
Um, that's it. I I hope it's any good. Um, finally ubidium is developing a risk five based universal processor

02:28:23.240 --> 02:28:28.680
They're a semiconductor startup and have announced the development of a universal processor based on the risk five architecture

02:28:29.080 --> 02:28:32.920
It's designed to handle a wide range of computing tasks, including CPU

02:28:33.560 --> 02:28:43.000
GPU dsp And fpga functionalities now hold on just a gosh darn minute because this sounds like complete ho come to me

02:28:43.560 --> 02:28:50.760
Because to be both a CPU and an fpga you would have to have like the efficiency and cost effectiveness of a CPU

02:28:51.400 --> 02:29:00.600
and also Like the field programmability of an fpga because an fpga the opposite of that for the other one can be a CPU just fine

02:29:01.320 --> 02:29:07.720
It's just like not a viable one It's not a cost effective one and they say they would do this all on a single chip

02:29:08.440 --> 02:29:13.560
The universal processor is based on a workload agnostic micro architecture

02:29:13.880 --> 02:29:18.200
That allows the same transistors to be reused for different processing tasks

02:29:18.600 --> 02:29:22.120
Eliminating the need for multiple specialized cores

02:29:24.440 --> 02:29:27.160
Okay, the company has built a proof-of-concept

02:29:27.880 --> 02:29:31.640
emulation that shows its universal processor works

02:29:32.200 --> 02:29:37.320
Allowing it to secure 3.7 million dollars in seed funding to produce a working prototype in 2025

02:29:37.880 --> 02:29:43.880
It was founded by veterans from invidia Intel and texas instruments including cto martin vorbach ceo

02:29:43.880 --> 02:29:51.400
hian shun chou and chairman peter weber vorbach spent 15 years developing the technology behind the universal processor

02:29:51.800 --> 02:29:59.080
They plan to launch their first chips in 2026 eventually developing a complete portfolio of chips from small embedded devices to high performance computing systems

02:29:59.400 --> 02:30:05.400
With their goal being to establish its universal processor as the new standard in the industry

02:30:06.760 --> 02:30:12.760
I Find this very hard to believe, but I was excited enough

02:30:13.320 --> 02:30:21.320
Reading What seems like nonsense gobbledygook to me that I was like I want this on wancho. That's where I'm at on this

02:30:24.520 --> 02:30:28.920
Neat good chat Yeah, yeah

02:30:30.040 --> 02:30:36.920
Um rest assured asks I don't know why server chips from Intel didn't have fpga sections years ago for

02:30:37.560 --> 02:30:44.200
Specifically tuned functions and the answer is because they are so expensive and inefficient. There's oh expensive

02:30:44.760 --> 02:30:50.840
Those okay. Here's a great example those little usb x fiber extender docs that I have from icron

02:30:51.320 --> 02:30:57.240
Okay, you would think like what I don't know usb right usb over like

02:30:59.160 --> 02:31:02.920
A cat six or a fiber cable or whatever like that shouldn't be that complicated, right?

02:31:03.320 --> 02:31:08.040
Like the data rates aren't even that high. You can do 10 gig over a over a cat 6a cable

02:31:08.280 --> 02:31:13.880
Surely you could do five gig. It's like well. Yeah, but it's completely different protocol. So, uh, are they expensive?

02:31:15.320 --> 02:31:24.280
Yes, they are why Because everything in them is handled via fpga and they have to be high performance fpgas because of all the

02:31:24.360 --> 02:31:29.000
Translation and tom foolery that's taking place is a super cool product very industrial product

02:31:29.000 --> 02:31:33.960
It's meant for like if you need to run a bunch of like usb based cameras for machine vision or something

02:31:34.360 --> 02:31:40.200
Over fiber or cat six cat six distances very cool product. I use them for workstations at home because

02:31:40.840 --> 02:31:46.760
Um They sent them like I don't think I would pay that much to have usb. Why does it bolt exists?

02:31:46.920 --> 02:31:49.880
Why doesn't fpga make them so much more expensive Linus?

02:31:50.280 --> 02:31:53.560
Because in order to be field programmable

02:31:53.800 --> 02:31:58.920
They have to be much much lower density and they have to be non specialized

02:31:59.480 --> 02:32:06.200
And they have to be changeable. So the way that they're architected is just completely different from an asyc

02:32:06.680 --> 02:32:12.360
um But what they allow is they allow low volume products like this like if this was an asyc

02:32:12.360 --> 02:32:19.320
This thing would probably cost a third or a quarter as much But the reason that you can't do it with an asyc is because you would have to

02:32:19.880 --> 02:32:23.960
You would have to do the rnd that's involved in taping out an asyc

02:32:24.280 --> 02:32:28.520
And that cost you would never recoup from the number of these that you could possibly sell

02:32:28.600 --> 02:32:32.200
so certain low volume products just never make it to

02:32:34.280 --> 02:32:40.600
The non fpga stage like fpgas are often used for things like um rnd

02:32:41.000 --> 02:32:47.880
For something that will become an asyc another example of an asyc-based product was um red digital cinemas red rocket cards

02:32:48.200 --> 02:32:52.120
I don't know for a fact that it's an fpga. I don't think I ever popped the heatsink off of one

02:32:52.120 --> 02:32:56.200
But I can tell you because it was like a two thousand dollar card. It's almost certainly an fpga

02:32:56.920 --> 02:33:01.560
And and because red would have never done the volume of business that would have justified

02:33:02.120 --> 02:33:05.560
Spinning like taping out a chip that just doesn't work that way

02:33:06.520 --> 02:33:10.760
Yeah, fpgas are super cool. They're just really really expensive

02:33:12.520 --> 02:33:16.520
Uh budan says you can also send firmware updates that update the hardware. Yes

02:33:17.080 --> 02:33:21.960
You can update the hardware of the chip. It's super cool. That's super cool. I love them so much. Yeah

02:33:23.560 --> 02:33:27.880
But you better be ready for like, you know a couple hundred dollar

02:33:27.880 --> 02:33:35.320
fpga so that you can play like In like genesis games, it's like the power of an arduino that costs two grand to CPU

02:33:36.600 --> 02:33:39.000
They're they're great. They're great

02:33:41.160 --> 02:33:44.280
Oh sammy says remember the g-sync chips. Yeah, those were fpga, weren't they?

02:33:44.920 --> 02:33:48.120
Uh, if I recall correctly, they were and that was a big part of why they were so expensive

02:33:48.920 --> 02:33:53.960
Yep. Yeah, if something seems unreasonably expensive for like how much processing power in it, isn't it?

02:33:54.040 --> 02:33:58.840
It's almost certainly because it's an fpga and not a volume manufactured asyc

02:34:00.440 --> 02:34:03.640
Like what's the name of those those retro consoles? Um

02:34:05.800 --> 02:34:11.480
Super super premium retro consoles they they have a game boy. Um, oh analog. They have an old

02:34:12.360 --> 02:34:16.760
Yeah, analog their stuff is largely very expensive because they have fpga chips

02:34:17.240 --> 02:34:25.160
Yep And also because they just build premium products. I mean look at them. Yeah fair enough, but still but also because fpgas are expensive

02:34:26.520 --> 02:34:28.760
Yeah, yeah, retro to another example

02:34:30.040 --> 02:34:33.640
Rather premium, but Yep. Yeah, she'd be she'd be costly

02:34:34.200 --> 02:34:36.200
Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep

02:34:37.400 --> 02:34:42.440
All right, that's it for topics for today. So I think it's time for when after dark very after dark for luke

02:34:43.720 --> 02:34:46.120
Oh, yeah, it's uh, I might be getting lights in

02:34:47.560 --> 02:34:50.360
It's yeah, it's 540 in the morning here, dude

02:34:51.240 --> 02:35:00.700
Did I show you the gym? Oh wait, I did. I sent you a picture Yeah, I'm excited smash champs gym is based. I uh, I went on the the stair master yesterday

02:35:01.260 --> 02:35:06.140
And the bike just doing doing some of my cardio and it dude. It's nice

02:35:06.860 --> 02:35:12.860
It's nice. I'm legitimately one of the first things I do when I get home is go to that gym

02:35:13.420 --> 02:35:15.980
I want to see it. I the picture looks good

02:35:17.020 --> 02:35:21.660
Little man shows a good machine Oh, he was just posing

02:35:22.060 --> 02:35:25.340
Yeah, still for now if he wants you know

02:35:25.420 --> 02:35:28.460
If he wants to train in the gym in a way that will help him with badminton

02:35:28.780 --> 02:35:33.580
That is a machine that would make sense to use So I don't know. All right. Nice

02:35:34.380 --> 02:35:36.380
lucky

02:35:37.420 --> 02:35:44.140
All right, Dan you want some merge messages I mean, or do you want to self direct whether I whether I want them or not? I feel like um

02:35:44.700 --> 02:35:51.260
I mean, there's a bunch of curated ones if you want to go down the list and read them While I just pop through the rest of these. Oh shoot. Do we still have incomings?

02:35:51.740 --> 02:35:58.060
Oh, they're no longer coming in as fast. I'm just working through the backlog that was about 170 so

02:35:59.420 --> 02:36:06.060
Okay, uh, yeah, I mean it's been I yeah, you know what before we get started before we get started

02:36:06.140 --> 02:36:12.460
Now is probably a good time to tell you guys. Hey, thank you so much for your support. We are having an absolutely

02:36:13.100 --> 02:36:17.500
um wild black friday

02:36:17.500 --> 02:36:25.020
Um And the show has changed the numbers more than I expected. I just brought up the report just now

02:36:25.580 --> 02:36:28.220
Um, yeah, we're having a we're having a ridiculous

02:36:28.700 --> 02:36:33.820
Um black friday. So thank you guys all for being part of the part of the team's success here

02:36:34.940 --> 02:36:39.340
Appreciate you all I have been doing for a minute for the last two and a half hours. Nice

02:36:39.900 --> 02:36:44.780
Let's go down. So uh, you you dropped a gentle hint that you'd like me to just read them myself

02:36:44.860 --> 02:36:51.260
Click on the incoming merge messages at the top. It'll collapse that yeah, I I'm already there. Okay. Cool. Thanks for the tech tips

02:36:51.900 --> 02:36:56.140
Yeah, uh, okay nick c

02:36:56.300 --> 02:36:59.020
Didn't ask this but I'm curious. I want to tell us about your trip

02:37:02.300 --> 02:37:05.980
Uh Oh, are you not able to yeah

02:37:06.620 --> 02:37:10.780
No, no, no, I'm just thinking what what is all even happened. Um

02:37:11.420 --> 02:37:15.500
Well, you almost got you almost got stuck like sleeping at a train station

02:37:16.620 --> 02:37:18.780
Maybe I can wait to hear that station until you get back

02:37:21.740 --> 02:37:30.780
Uh No, I think it's fine. All right, let's hear it near me. So like okay doesn't matter. Um, yeah, so I was I was planning on

02:37:31.420 --> 02:37:34.700
um I have this habit of

02:37:35.340 --> 02:37:39.980
Traveling without much of a plan and I I actually really enjoy the outcome

02:37:39.980 --> 02:37:43.020
I don't recommend it to anyone, but I I tend to enjoy the outcome

02:37:43.100 --> 02:37:48.620
I've had some fantastic experiences that would have never happened if I had much of a plan

02:37:49.100 --> 02:37:53.260
Um, but I had an inkling of idea of something that I wanted to do before I came here

02:37:53.260 --> 02:37:59.100
Which was go snowboarding in the alps. I knew I was going to be somewhat close. So I brought some of my gear

02:37:59.500 --> 02:38:03.020
Um, obviously not my like board and boots because that's kind of a lot to haul around

02:38:03.100 --> 02:38:06.540
But I brought a lot of my other stuff um

02:38:06.540 --> 02:38:08.540
And I had planned to go now

02:38:09.820 --> 02:38:11.980
I left a little bit late

02:38:13.180 --> 02:38:19.660
One day, but there were still trains going like it was fine. Um, I also ended up being late to one of my

02:38:19.980 --> 02:38:23.500
So I left a little bit late, but there was multiple trains that I could have caught afterwards

02:38:23.580 --> 02:38:29.740
so it was going to be fine and then Google maps was all messed up because there was a ton of construction going on

02:38:29.980 --> 02:38:34.860
So I ended up missing one of my trains And the next train wasn't coming for an hour

02:38:35.580 --> 02:38:38.700
So then I was even later and I was now on the

02:38:39.340 --> 02:38:43.180
This is the last set of trains that will get you to your destination. Yeah

02:38:44.380 --> 02:38:49.420
Stage which is never good to be in especially when you're in a country that you're not used to being in

02:38:49.980 --> 02:38:58.140
um And then I get I get most of the way there. I'm now many hours away from from paris, which is where

02:38:58.460 --> 02:39:01.180
Um, I was situated for the obh of it

02:39:02.940 --> 02:39:07.740
And there's there's I wouldn't say a bunch because I mean it's the last train of the night

02:39:07.740 --> 02:39:13.260
There's really not that many of us But there was probably about like 20 or so people waiting at the station for a train

02:39:13.900 --> 02:39:18.220
And then the train just didn't show up. It sounds like a skill issue. Maybe you need training

02:39:21.900 --> 02:39:28.620
There was a there was an announcement that went over the pa Something to do with the train not showing up and then most people just left immediately

02:39:28.620 --> 02:39:31.580
And there was probably about like five to seven of us left afterwards

02:39:32.300 --> 02:39:34.300
Hang around the station trying to figure out what's going on

02:39:35.900 --> 02:39:38.700
The station itself was actually like

02:39:39.900 --> 02:39:46.620
Stunningly nice Oddly enough like there was there was a climb that's handy in the train station

02:39:47.100 --> 02:39:49.980
That as far as I could tell you didn't even have to pay to like

02:39:50.540 --> 02:40:00.780
You just had to bring your own equipment Like ropes and belts because it had like the the things to to loop into while you're going up and it's like free access climbing

02:40:00.780 --> 02:40:04.780
Well plants inside super super nice train station. So I was like, okay

02:40:04.860 --> 02:40:09.740
Well, I guess this is going to be the first time I'm like homeless for a night when traveling

02:40:09.740 --> 02:40:18.140
I kind of because I travel with no plan I kind of thought this would happen eventually but because I travel with no plan. I always thought it would be my fault

02:40:18.780 --> 02:40:24.860
Not a train just not showing up. Um, so I'm like legit. I'm texting Linus

02:40:25.900 --> 02:40:33.900
Linus and Emma to be fair. I was also texting Emma. Um, but talking about like the situation that I'm in and genuinely settling in to

02:40:33.900 --> 02:40:39.980
Just like sleep on a bench for the night. Um, he wasn't happy about it next train. He was super not thrilled. He was like

02:40:40.060 --> 02:40:44.220
He was like very cranky about this prospect. It was pretty funny now that it's

02:40:45.340 --> 02:40:53.580
Now that it's yeah The main thing that was concerning me about it was that like, you know, I had my like laptop and stuff with me

02:40:55.660 --> 02:41:02.060
So, okay, I'm a pretty deep sleeper too. So like, okay, I'll strap it to me and whatever but someone could just open the bag. Um

02:41:03.260 --> 02:41:05.820
So I was I was not stoked about that. Um

02:41:07.660 --> 02:41:12.940
But then I mean realistically the French are more likely to surrender than like take anything from you

02:41:13.500 --> 02:41:18.460
They'll drape the big white blanket over you Oh my goodness

02:41:22.380 --> 02:41:27.580
So, okay, so I had one word for them forever and they never forgot about it. They're just gonna slip a

02:41:28.300 --> 02:41:33.580
Orange jacket over him too Stop it. It joins the fight

02:41:36.700 --> 02:41:42.860
You gotta stop chirping or else you're gonna start another war between the British and the French. Um, they just lose

02:41:46.460 --> 02:41:51.900
Um Well at this point, I think it would be the eu versus people that made bad decisions. What I don't know

02:41:52.860 --> 02:42:00.060
Like leaving the eu the best decision. I'm not upset. I could have worked anywhere in the eu. I'm not upset

02:42:01.180 --> 02:42:03.180
How he's stuck here

02:42:06.700 --> 02:42:12.460
Got him, um Okay, so yeah, one of the first things I did was like check, you know hotels in the area

02:42:13.020 --> 02:42:16.380
Um, and I went to two different ones and neither of them had any vacancy. So I was like, okay

02:42:16.380 --> 02:42:19.500
I guess I'm screwed I started to settle in and then a

02:42:20.540 --> 02:42:23.740
A the the people that administrated wasn't police officers

02:42:23.740 --> 02:42:28.380
But like the people that administrate the train station came up and went to go kick everybody out

02:42:28.860 --> 02:42:31.580
I don't think Linus knows this part of the story. Um

02:42:32.700 --> 02:42:37.660
Because I was trying to figure what was going on because I I was informed I might have just been dumb

02:42:37.980 --> 02:42:40.940
Turns out I wasn't but I was still trying to figure it out

02:42:41.100 --> 02:42:44.220
But yeah, they go to kick us out of the train station. I can't understand French

02:42:44.220 --> 02:42:50.860
So I'm just kind of like standing there watching some of the guys I was with get in a heated argument with the people that are trying to kick us out because they're like

02:42:51.180 --> 02:42:54.860
Well, it's the the trains fault that we're stuck here. So like you shouldn't kick us out

02:42:54.940 --> 02:42:57.500
The next train's technically coming in like four hours

02:42:58.220 --> 02:43:02.460
Because the first one in the morning is super early. So like just let us sit here for four hours. Who cares?

02:43:02.860 --> 02:43:06.620
Um, ultimately they kick us out. I tell one of the security guards

02:43:08.460 --> 02:43:13.100
Like, okay, how do I like contact the train station because I had to buy another ticket

02:43:13.180 --> 02:43:17.980
So like how do I get a refund for my one for today? And he's like, oh, it wasn't a train. It was a bus

02:43:19.500 --> 02:43:26.220
And I was like what So like I was just stupid standing inside and the bus left behind me or something

02:43:26.780 --> 02:43:32.860
Oh, man, um And and I'm like, well, okay, all these other people thought it was a train

02:43:34.140 --> 02:43:36.220
And I thought it was a train like did they just

02:43:37.180 --> 02:43:39.340
Were we all just wrong and he was like, yeah

02:43:40.300 --> 02:43:43.980
I'm like, okay. Well All right, so

02:43:43.980 --> 02:43:47.740
All right, and I'm now being kicked out. So I'm like, okay, it's raining really bad outside

02:43:47.740 --> 02:43:53.020
I don't really want to sleep in the rain So I keep trying to find hotels I walk up. They're all closed

02:43:53.020 --> 02:43:59.580
But I walk up to one of them I just stand outside the door for like a while and then eventually somebody comes by and just like opens the door

02:43:59.900 --> 02:44:05.100
Um, they had no vacancy I go do that to another hotel and they had one room left

02:44:05.580 --> 02:44:09.740
And it was super cheap and actually It was very cheap

02:44:09.740 --> 02:44:16.620
And it had one of the best like free breakfasts. I've ever had anywhere. It was super good. That checks out

02:44:17.100 --> 02:44:21.740
That's for you, man Um, I was I was stunned at how good the breakfast was

02:44:23.740 --> 02:44:26.460
So I I crashed there for like a few hours

02:44:27.100 --> 02:44:33.180
And then uh, got back to the train station and no the dude that kicked me out was wrong. It was a train

02:44:33.740 --> 02:44:36.780
um So I did you get any fun which which

02:44:37.500 --> 02:44:46.060
No, I haven't figured that out yet. I'll still try to figure it out But that that was actually worse because I spent so long running around trying to find this bus

02:44:48.700 --> 02:44:56.860
Oh, dude, it wasn't a bus So I I was literally like especially as the the time until departure kept getting closer and closer and closer

02:44:57.020 --> 02:45:03.980
I was legitimately like Sprinting around trying to figure out like where the hell this bus stop is

02:45:04.300 --> 02:45:09.820
But google maps kept insisting like if I looked on google maps, the line was on the train track

02:45:10.380 --> 02:45:15.100
Yeah So I was like it's gotta be the freaking train. Well, let's say it's a rail bus

02:45:15.820 --> 02:45:17.820
Um

02:45:19.180 --> 02:45:27.020
But yeah, I ended up figuring it out Imagine saggy on the train and it was fine asks a question that I know the answer to but I feel should be acknowledged

02:45:27.420 --> 02:45:29.420
Uber not a thing over there

02:45:31.020 --> 02:45:34.860
Uh Uber to the destination that I would have gone to

02:45:35.500 --> 02:45:39.660
What if I remember correctly it was legitimately like 400 dollars. Yeah, so

02:45:40.700 --> 02:45:45.340
I'm not paying that Yep No chance. I know we can afford it

02:45:46.700 --> 02:45:52.780
But I know you won't pay it Yeah, that's ridiculous, which Emma was was mad at me about

02:45:54.300 --> 02:46:00.620
She didn't want me sleeping in the train station when I could have just got that uber. Okay, but I was like, dude, there's no way

02:46:01.420 --> 02:46:08.460
Things are about to get really spicy for a second. Things are about to get super spicy because I think I think

02:46:09.020 --> 02:46:13.740
There's gonna be a double standard in your relationship I would have bought it

02:46:14.940 --> 02:46:16.940
You're not even gonna let me finish

02:46:18.620 --> 02:46:22.460
You mock her you mock her you mock her

02:46:23.180 --> 02:46:25.900
For not wanting you to sleep in the train station

02:46:26.540 --> 02:46:32.940
But if she was gonna sleep in a train station, you 100% would be like, no, I won't allow it

02:46:33.500 --> 02:46:38.860
100% 100% if she didn't want to book it. I would have booked it to her location

02:46:39.180 --> 02:46:42.780
Instantaneously, there's no chance Yeah

02:46:42.780 --> 02:46:45.820
Yeah, oh man Oh, man

02:46:45.820 --> 02:46:50.860
Yeah, I know I know I knew the answer before I even started talking. I was like there is

02:46:51.580 --> 02:46:54.460
No way he would let Emma sleep in a train station

02:46:57.100 --> 02:47:05.340
Yeah, I mean there's yeah And there's to be clear this is not just luke being some kind of man overse toxic whatever the f*** or whatever

02:47:05.660 --> 02:47:11.660
There's legitimately a far lower chance of luke being assaulted

02:47:12.220 --> 02:47:16.780
In you know overnight in some you know remote area with no supervision or whatever

02:47:16.860 --> 02:47:24.380
It's like actually It is actually like a numbers game that is a very different numbers game for him versus a you know

02:47:25.020 --> 02:47:33.420
What like 120 soaking wet lady, you know, yeah, I'm sorry. Emma if I got that wrong one way or the other

02:47:33.580 --> 02:47:39.900
I'm so sorry. I have no idea how much you weigh and if I did know because I'd looked that closely

02:47:39.900 --> 02:47:41.900
I wouldn't admit it in front of luke. So that's where we're at

02:47:46.460 --> 02:47:49.980
The only reason why I had no reaction to that is I don't either. Um, so

02:47:51.500 --> 02:47:53.500
All right, perfect. Then we're good

02:47:55.100 --> 02:47:59.580
Right I'm calling her right now

02:47:59.580 --> 02:48:01.580
No

02:48:03.020 --> 02:48:06.460
I think the question is why does Dan have her number there boom deflected

02:48:07.500 --> 02:48:13.340
Oh Oh, you both know why should we do some merch messages? Yeah, we should

02:48:15.740 --> 02:48:21.580
Oh man luke She better not call. I hope she's not watching I'm getting texts

02:48:22.220 --> 02:48:25.900
Uh luke, what is a memory that will always make you laugh from the hacker conference?

02:48:26.620 --> 02:48:28.620
Uh

02:48:41.660 --> 02:48:48.060
While you laugh while you think uh, I have a little uh, I have a little message from a robot at drand, uh

02:48:49.420 --> 02:48:55.020
Read all 1500 of these comments might be the highlight of the year everyone in the org super proud

02:48:55.820 --> 02:49:02.220
That was a it was a great video. I really enjoyed they they really did like roll out the the red carpet or the

02:49:03.100 --> 02:49:05.660
Lights completely off glow in the dark carpet

02:49:07.340 --> 02:49:14.460
The the tour really was very self-guided even though obviously like I wasn't alone in the building like let's have some common sense about it

02:49:14.460 --> 02:49:18.140
But it was a lot of fun It was really cool

02:49:18.140 --> 02:49:21.420
Genuinely really cool to see their operation. They really do

02:49:22.300 --> 02:49:26.220
Make actual goods here in canada, which is a thing that not a lot of companies do

02:49:28.140 --> 02:49:30.700
And they run a really clean

02:49:31.500 --> 02:49:35.100
operation They've had a few challenges lately, which they have acknowledged

02:49:35.580 --> 02:49:38.860
And have been working really hard to overcome

02:49:39.660 --> 02:49:42.700
And they promised us that by the time this launch went up

02:49:42.780 --> 02:49:49.580
They would have things smoothed out and it seems like things are are ticking quite a bit better over there in terms of like communication

02:49:49.820 --> 02:49:54.060
It's been slow communication due to some internal systems changes over and

02:49:54.700 --> 02:49:58.380
I didn't fully understand what it was because there was a bunch of jargon to do with like

02:49:59.180 --> 02:50:05.260
crms and management systems that I don't deal with on our side like it's all run by the creator warehouse team

02:50:05.420 --> 02:50:09.500
But I was like I nodded and I was like, okay, but it like it's going to be solved and they're like, yeah, we got you

02:50:09.500 --> 02:50:11.900
I'm like, okay, um, but yeah, really fun

02:50:12.620 --> 02:50:16.380
um They didn't say anything about the ruin vinyl

02:50:16.940 --> 02:50:20.540
They actually yeah, never never brought it up to me. I'm sure they think it's funny though

02:50:21.340 --> 02:50:26.620
Um, my favorite comment on the video. They actually linked me my own comment, which is funny

02:50:27.500 --> 02:50:33.340
Was to whoever at LTT might actually read this whoever had the idea to film a desk pad product placement

02:50:33.580 --> 02:50:39.580
In front of dbrand's unreleased stuff and have it be painstakingly blurred by the editor needs a raise

02:50:39.900 --> 02:50:44.860
And I'm only partly joking that level of thinking outside the box and being able to look at another company's

02:50:44.940 --> 02:50:49.340
Confidential unreleased stuff and think this is where we film our marketing spot. It's perfect

02:50:49.580 --> 02:50:54.620
Is a level of creativity or whatever you call it that can't be taught or trained that was shockingly fantastic

02:50:54.700 --> 02:51:03.260
11 out of 10 will watch again in lieu of a raise Please pass on my admiration if you don't mind big mad props and I responded. Thanks. I'll give myself a raise

02:51:05.260 --> 02:51:11.980
I've actually I've actually gotten to write a little bit more than usual lately and it's been really fun. Um, I got to do the

02:51:12.860 --> 02:51:16.860
um The uh equinex

02:51:17.020 --> 02:51:21.340
Equinix, excuse me. I got to do the equinix tour. I got to do the dbrand tour

02:51:21.820 --> 02:51:26.860
Um, that one's that one wasn't really written the equinix tour was actually written like I did the tour and then I wrote it

02:51:27.340 --> 02:51:34.700
Um, and I like I never get to do that anymore Um, and then the dbrand one was mostly just kind of ad-libbed and they actually provided a lot of sort of

02:51:35.100 --> 02:51:40.620
Guidance for what the flow would be but I was just kind of doing my thing. Um, yeah a lot of fun and uh

02:51:41.500 --> 02:51:45.660
I thank you. Thank you for noticing. I also thought it was very funny

02:51:46.540 --> 02:51:50.140
and thank you to Poor editor who had to deal with that. Thank you

02:51:51.420 --> 02:51:59.980
All right, look Uh, yeah, I do have an I do have an answer to that so in general it was it was an absolutely amazing conference

02:51:59.980 --> 02:52:04.140
I plan to go next year. It was super fun that people I was with was absolutely amazing

02:52:04.780 --> 02:52:07.980
Um, I hope I get to hang out with the same group next time

02:52:08.700 --> 02:52:12.700
Um, but I don't think it was like particularly noticeably high on humor

02:52:13.100 --> 02:52:16.780
Um, so what I will give my answer as was the loop

02:52:17.660 --> 02:52:20.940
The the funniest thing to me the whole time I was there. I think was the

02:52:21.820 --> 02:52:25.900
The tesla loop thing Um

02:52:25.900 --> 02:52:31.100
We did that. I don't think I've talked to Linus about this at all But you know the the tunnel. Yeah

02:52:32.700 --> 02:52:35.660
And they had it's just a car on a road, right like is

02:52:35.900 --> 02:52:37.900
It's so stupid

02:52:40.140 --> 02:52:47.020
It's so dumb It's really cheap, which is nice, but you know because of how cheap it is

02:52:47.100 --> 02:52:54.380
They are absolutely unquestionably losing money on it hand over fist constantly because not only is it just a car on a road

02:52:55.180 --> 02:52:58.300
Uh There's drivers

02:52:58.700 --> 02:53:07.660
It's not even like automated You actually get in a car with someone else and they drive you through this stupid tiny little loop thing

02:53:08.300 --> 02:53:16.860
It's just it's so dumb. It could have been you know those like, uh, I don't actually know what you call them because escalator

02:53:18.380 --> 02:53:24.540
Would would imply you're going up But those like those flat conveyor belt kind of things that they have in airports

02:53:24.540 --> 02:53:26.540
So just make you like move faster when you're walking

02:53:27.580 --> 02:53:35.500
Or you can stand on it. Yeah, whatever moving walkway Sure. They can just have like a huge moving walk travelators. They're called travelators

02:53:36.460 --> 02:53:42.540
That is such a cool name. I love it. That is actually kind of if it's not the real name. I don't care. That's that's my head cannon now

02:53:43.420 --> 02:53:46.060
So they they could have just had a travelator

02:53:46.860 --> 02:53:50.940
And honestly it would have been fine because you have to wait for your stupid

02:53:51.260 --> 02:53:57.900
manually driven tesla to show up And then you have to like quite legitimately deal with traffic and you have to buy this

02:53:58.300 --> 02:54:04.460
Annoying ticket thing. You have to do it through the app I couldn't even buy it because like something something. I don't know canadian

02:54:04.540 --> 02:54:10.220
So like fio had to buy my access for me, which felt so stupid, but thank you fio

02:54:11.740 --> 02:54:14.540
If there was just like a huge travelator

02:54:15.100 --> 02:54:18.460
It would have been fine. Um, it was

02:54:19.260 --> 02:54:21.260
Actually just like mind-blowingly

02:54:22.460 --> 02:54:27.660
Dumb um to the point where it was fun. So I'll I'll give that as my answer. All right, Dan

02:54:28.860 --> 02:54:32.860
Hey, lld. Thanks for the free shipping making the most of it. Yeah, you are

02:54:33.500 --> 02:54:39.340
Yeah, if you had the ability to remaster a product you released justifying the additional research and development time

02:54:39.660 --> 02:54:41.660
What product would you work on? Ooh

02:54:43.100 --> 02:54:45.100
Remastered product

02:54:46.140 --> 02:54:52.300
See the thing is I have the resources to remaster something if I really wanted to

02:54:54.140 --> 02:54:59.100
Hmm Remastered product

02:54:59.500 --> 02:55:04.220
Man, I can't even remember all the products anymore. I kind of wish we had a product archive

02:55:04.540 --> 02:55:07.020
I've seen some customers ask us for it before

02:55:07.900 --> 02:55:13.500
And I I could I could actually really use it whenever people ask me stuff like this

02:55:14.540 --> 02:55:17.900
um Man something that we didn't

02:55:18.540 --> 02:55:25.500
Hmm H rognis is the christmas album. Absolutely not people are saying that good try

02:55:26.220 --> 02:55:34.220
Good try Good try. Oh, is that what it's not why you curated that stupid thing? Absolutely not. Oh, yeah, for sure

02:55:34.780 --> 02:55:41.100
For once in my life. I'm being honest with you. Hmm. I don't know if I believe you. I don't know if I believe you at all

02:55:41.980 --> 02:55:48.780
um Yeah, what for what if a remastered version of the christmas album existed would you uh,

02:55:49.900 --> 02:55:54.300
I would never acknowledge it It is not my son

02:55:57.660 --> 02:56:00.860
I have started getting my my yearly emails again

02:56:01.020 --> 02:56:04.300
I get emailed every time a purchase is done on the forum

02:56:05.100 --> 02:56:08.700
And that's still the only way that we distribute the christmas album

02:56:08.700 --> 02:56:16.060
So every every winter I get random like a purchase was made on the forum because it was uploaded by my account

02:56:16.700 --> 02:56:21.980
and how the Purchasing system on the forum works is there's a commission system built in

02:56:22.620 --> 02:56:26.380
So I get zero percent commission every time but because

02:56:27.820 --> 02:56:31.740
Because it's still technically a commission system even though it's zero dollars and zero cents

02:56:31.820 --> 02:56:36.380
It emails me every time letting me know Congratulations. You just made zero dollars and zero cents

02:56:37.340 --> 02:56:39.340
Oh, it's like I'm gonna get my paycheck

02:56:41.180 --> 02:56:43.420
Come on after all these taxes

02:56:44.300 --> 02:56:46.860
I remember self-employed was like radicalizing

02:56:47.980 --> 02:56:52.700
Compact disc called you out luke with the not so subtle telling people how to buy it

02:56:53.580 --> 02:57:02.380
Hey, man, I'm trying to make you money. Come on I don't want that money. I want people to spend their money on stuff. That's good. The christmas album is not good

02:57:02.860 --> 02:57:04.860
Um

02:57:06.380 --> 02:57:09.580
Nedza life says the potato sack hoodie. Okay, sure

02:57:10.060 --> 02:57:14.460
A remastered potato sack hoodie would be kind of cool like a like sick potato sack hoodie

02:57:14.700 --> 02:57:21.740
Not at all like a like a hint at an upcoming product if you redid the screwdriver. You call it the two driver

02:57:23.740 --> 02:57:29.580
All right, so anyway, I need my own bell. I'm gonna need my own bell ding the bell. That's an order soldier

02:57:30.060 --> 02:57:35.100
Are you right there? You've made nearly five grand on the christmas album. You'll probably pass five grand

02:57:35.820 --> 02:57:44.540
On the christmas album this year What is that? What does that make me? Uh, so so if if uh, what what was platinum is how many uh, records down?

02:57:44.620 --> 02:57:47.500
You think it's like a million. Okay, so then gold would be how many?

02:57:48.060 --> 02:57:53.500
100,000. Okay. So then we how far do we have to go down? We got silver. We got bronze

02:57:53.900 --> 02:57:57.980
We got wood. Uh, we've got those exist. Is there like silver and bronze?

02:57:58.060 --> 02:58:03.420
No, of course not. Gold's 500,000. I'm making jokes luke for crying out loud. I know

02:58:05.020 --> 02:58:09.340
Could I get a cardboard album for selling $5,000 worth of christmas album?

02:58:11.180 --> 02:58:15.020
That would be pretty funny actually. Well, if you did five thousand then

02:58:15.820 --> 02:58:18.940
Oh, hold on. There's there's some other ones. There's auro platinum model

02:58:19.740 --> 02:58:23.900
Uh, I think we sold it. We would have had to sell a thousand units to make $5,000

02:58:24.300 --> 02:58:28.860
So what do you get for a thousand albums Dan? Sawdust album

02:58:28.860 --> 02:58:34.780
Deep red Three bucks each It's three bucks each. Oh, okay. So we sold like 1300 albums

02:58:35.420 --> 02:58:39.580
Oh, but it's it's It's three dollars american though

02:58:39.900 --> 02:58:43.900
I didn't think about that. Oh my god. It doesn't matter. I mean, it's the r.i.a. anyway

02:58:44.620 --> 02:58:49.580
So let's see you would have made $2,003

02:58:49.580 --> 02:58:53.580
Three dollars from spotify plays Wow

02:58:53.580 --> 02:59:00.460
That's something These sound like participation awards says smallish potato. Yes, that's the point

02:59:01.180 --> 02:59:04.380
I don't I don't think that even counts as participating. That's just like

02:59:05.340 --> 02:59:11.100
Misclicks, so it's a margin of error. Yeah, all right. Okay. All right. Um

02:59:11.820 --> 02:59:15.980
Remastered product. I'm going with potato sack hoodie. There fine. That sounds nice. That's good hoodie

02:59:17.180 --> 02:59:20.700
Uh halfway through a phd and started watching in seventh grade

02:59:21.180 --> 02:59:24.860
Phd is on wireless ic's for implantables

02:59:25.340 --> 02:59:28.140
Linus as a previous user of the ura ring

02:59:28.620 --> 02:59:33.260
Would you implant something of the sort? What risks affect that choice?

02:59:33.980 --> 02:59:39.660
uh For me the biggest obstacle to using something like a smart band is

02:59:40.300 --> 02:59:47.900
Dealing with taking it on and often charging it So if it was something that I could just implant and it could like charge itself off my body heat or something

02:59:48.860 --> 02:59:55.100
I yeah, yeah, I think I would I mean as long as it's made out of like, you know, medical grade steel or you know

02:59:55.900 --> 02:59:59.500
Glass or something inert. I assume glass is kind of inert. I I'd be

03:00:00.380 --> 03:00:05.580
Yeah, I'd I'd I'd be pretty into it I mean we were before the covid lockdown thing happened

03:00:05.900 --> 03:00:10.220
We were planning a road trip down to somewhere in seattle to get um

03:00:11.260 --> 03:00:15.100
RFID things in our fingers like we were all going to do it. We're going to make a video about it. I'm

03:00:15.660 --> 03:00:18.700
I'm I'm into it. I don't know that I do like serious

03:00:19.260 --> 03:00:25.500
Augmentation, you know assuming that like, uh, you know bionic eye that could come out and see behind me was available tomorrow

03:00:25.500 --> 03:00:31.500
I don't know that I would do that But I think that something like an implantable health monitor or something seems pretty innocuous

03:00:33.340 --> 03:00:36.060
It's like hot glue a mirror to your shoulder there you go

03:00:37.020 --> 03:00:43.180
Implantables rye saw asks do we have your permission to pirate the christmas album? My god, absolutely not

03:00:43.980 --> 03:00:47.900
Because you shouldn't be listening to it. It's not about the money or not money

03:00:48.060 --> 03:00:55.020
Why would you even say its name? It's about the fact that nobody should listen to it. It's terrible

03:00:56.940 --> 03:01:04.140
All right, it's it's the nobody should listen to it thing is true because it's it's actually so angelic that it's it's not

03:01:04.460 --> 03:01:08.220
Made for human consumption. Stop it. It's too. It's too good

03:01:09.020 --> 03:01:12.940
Nick says, uh, we're gonna build a product archive when the new site comes online

03:01:13.020 --> 03:01:17.740
So that's cool. And he also says don't oversell the socks before they're actually for sure. Yeah, numpty

03:01:18.940 --> 03:01:23.020
I was talking about the socks earlier, but ever. I think they're promising. They're promising. I'm excited

03:01:24.940 --> 03:01:33.580
cat Hello Wanted to slowly buy a new computer and buy used over the next year. What do I?

03:01:34.460 --> 03:01:38.620
Need to know and what? Sorry, what do

03:01:39.180 --> 03:01:42.700
I do to know how and what i'm buying is working

03:01:43.180 --> 03:01:50.540
Is it Worth it for a higher in pc builds? No, you should never buy a part that you don't have something

03:01:51.020 --> 03:01:55.820
To plug it into Because that part will only depreciate

03:01:56.860 --> 03:02:00.220
Well, I mean, okay, there's the tariff thing but um in general

03:02:00.620 --> 03:02:03.660
Not technically always true, but it's a pretty good general rule

03:02:04.140 --> 03:02:09.980
Yeah, but what you should do is you should take your loonies. That's what we call a dollar here in canada because

03:02:10.780 --> 03:02:17.740
Whatever you should take your loonies and you should put them somewhere where they are safe and will not be spent

03:02:18.220 --> 03:02:23.260
And then when you have enough loonies you should buy it in one fell swoop. That's the way to do it

03:02:23.900 --> 03:02:28.220
What about rising inflation? um

03:02:29.180 --> 03:02:34.220
Dan Fine you take your loonies you put them in an appreciating asset class

03:02:34.460 --> 03:02:39.180
And then you hope that it appreciates at the same rate as the player. I don't know the point is just that

03:02:39.900 --> 03:02:47.420
I am pretty sure that the inflationary devaluation of your loonie is going to be less of an issue than the

03:02:48.060 --> 03:02:52.380
um The march of progress devaluing the parts that you buy

03:02:53.020 --> 03:02:59.500
And give it six months The whole naming behind a loonie is pretty straightforward. It's not that hard to grasp

03:03:00.460 --> 03:03:06.540
Yes, I know it's a loon on it. It's got a bird. I know why it's called a loonie. Put a bird on it. All right enough

03:03:07.340 --> 03:03:11.820
bird Bird up Linus. Who is the most famous person you've ever met?

03:03:12.220 --> 03:03:18.140
Sincerely an Aussie who is now broke, but at least not due to shipping. That's a big amount for yourself

03:03:18.780 --> 03:03:24.620
um Do it. No, no. Well, okay. I don't I don't know if I met Paris Hilton

03:03:25.100 --> 03:03:29.340
But I complained about her And she was there in person

03:03:30.780 --> 03:03:36.780
Being mean to somebody across the room does not count as meeting them. I don't know. I that could kind of count, right?

03:03:39.180 --> 03:03:41.180
Well, look, I was

03:03:48.380 --> 03:03:52.700
Because because because I was at a BMW event

03:03:53.660 --> 03:03:57.580
They literally sponsored me to be there and make a video about their event

03:03:58.060 --> 03:04:01.100
And when I asked to go in the concept car

03:04:01.580 --> 03:04:10.780
They were like, no, nobody's allowed in the concept car And I'm like Paris Hilton is in it right now while you're telling me that nobody's allowed to be in it

03:04:12.380 --> 03:04:19.580
If she can go in it, then I can go in it. I'm literally paid to be here by you help help me help you

03:04:19.900 --> 03:04:24.220
So like she was she was right there

03:04:25.340 --> 03:04:31.100
That I don't think I don't think that counts as met though. It counts as seen. I don't think it counts as well. I saw her

03:04:32.860 --> 03:04:38.140
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You saw her. I mean, I I interacted by proxy with her

03:04:38.620 --> 03:04:43.500
You were by proxy not as important as her you didn't get to sit in the car

03:04:43.980 --> 03:04:46.780
I attended a seminar given by chris Jenner

03:04:47.740 --> 03:04:51.020
Did you meet them or did you witness them?

03:04:51.820 --> 03:04:55.980
Uh, there was only a couple hundred of us there small seminar

03:04:55.980 --> 03:04:59.580
shake hands Did you did you talk to her though?

03:05:00.460 --> 03:05:06.060
No, no, no, I've got no I got an answer. I got an answer now. I know I'm just messing with you

03:05:06.060 --> 03:05:11.820
I obviously know I didn't meet those people Uh, probably the most famous person that I have met

03:05:12.620 --> 03:05:20.220
is NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang And he might not be famous in the way that we think of like

03:05:21.260 --> 03:05:30.300
Fame famous, uh, but he is very famous. Um, especially now that NVIDIA has become the world's most valuable company

03:05:30.300 --> 03:05:36.220
And like Jim Cramer's talking about him and everyone's talking about him. Yes. He's very famous right now

03:05:37.340 --> 03:05:44.540
But I fully agree now. Yeah Yeah, I don't think I I don't man see this is embarrassing because I always forget

03:05:45.180 --> 03:05:48.140
Like I think I have met a handful of like real celebrities

03:05:48.780 --> 03:05:53.660
Um, I have met mr. Beast. I guess that's valid, but I kind of don't count youtubers

03:05:55.340 --> 03:05:59.420
Um, so I've met lots of famous youtubers. I met Mark Rober, you know, he's real famous

03:05:59.420 --> 03:06:03.420
But like when I say when you say fame, I mean outside of a niche

03:06:04.380 --> 03:06:10.620
When you are literally the CEO of the world's most valuable company, that's a different kind of fame

03:06:10.620 --> 03:06:16.300
That's household name fame The best word I guarantee you more people know mr. Beast's name than Jensen Huang

03:06:16.540 --> 03:06:24.700
Somebody in the zeitgeist But but yeah, but I would say a wider variety of people and actually I don't even know if that's true

03:06:24.700 --> 03:06:28.220
Luke because Jensen Huang's fame is international

03:06:28.300 --> 03:06:31.820
I suspect most Chinese people don't give two shits about mr. Beast

03:06:34.380 --> 03:06:39.020
I suspect I also think there's a very vast amount of people that don't give two shits about

03:06:39.340 --> 03:06:45.420
Jensen Huang or NVIDIA or even stocks that know who mr. Beast is and I'm not just saying because they're kids

03:06:45.980 --> 03:06:50.780
Um, I'm saying like income situations where that's just honestly irrelevant to you

03:06:51.260 --> 03:06:54.540
Um Would still know who mr. Beast is

03:06:55.100 --> 03:06:59.100
That's fair people are saying deadmau5. I don't think deadmau5 is more famous than any of the people we're talking about

03:06:59.100 --> 03:07:03.340
But I've definitely met Joel Um

03:07:07.260 --> 03:07:09.420
Yeah, I can't think of uh, I can't think of

03:07:10.300 --> 03:07:13.100
Shortcut says I think you're underselling youtube

03:07:13.740 --> 03:07:15.740
Shortcut says mr. Beast isn't a niche

03:07:17.100 --> 03:07:23.340
But also kind of is like the thing is most of the people I interact with in my daily life do not know who mr. Beast is

03:07:24.380 --> 03:07:29.260
Because they're adults You

03:07:29.580 --> 03:07:35.020
Yeah, I mean the the mr. Beast squid game thing got over 300 million views didn't it? Yeah, I know but

03:07:35.820 --> 03:07:41.740
There's a lot of people in the world. There's definitely a lot more than 300 million people that have a GPU. I'll promise you that

03:07:42.540 --> 03:07:45.100
Like there's there's levels of mainstream

03:07:45.660 --> 03:07:50.700
I would say Paris Hilton is a lot more than NVIDIA is not the same as knowing about jensen's and

03:07:51.100 --> 03:07:59.020
You Like I I guarantee you I know people that are into tech that despite NVIDIA's recent success success

03:07:59.180 --> 03:08:04.460
Don't know who jensen qualms. I just to be clear. I'm not arguing jensen is more famous than mr. Beast

03:08:04.860 --> 03:08:09.260
I'm just saying I don't really count youtube fame because I see it as

03:08:10.140 --> 03:08:15.260
I see it as like uh, like big fish small pond and it's a pretty damn big small pond at this point

03:08:15.580 --> 03:08:18.060
It's a huge small pond. So I was wrong

03:08:19.020 --> 03:08:23.820
The squid game video doesn't have 300 million views. It has uh 672 million views

03:08:24.540 --> 03:08:27.180
It's absolutely huge absolutely huge, but

03:08:27.820 --> 03:08:31.420
You can watch that video without knowing or caring who the host is

03:08:31.900 --> 03:08:33.900
100%

03:08:35.260 --> 03:08:37.260
And I suspect a lot of people did

03:08:40.860 --> 03:08:43.260
Yeah, that's probably true

03:08:43.980 --> 03:08:50.700
So it's but I think way more people use NVIDIA products without knowing who the CEO is

03:08:50.940 --> 03:08:57.980
Then watch a mr. Beast video that is hosted by mr. Beast and don't know who mr. Beast is. Yeah, that's yeah, that's totally fair

03:08:58.220 --> 03:09:03.660
I'm just saying there's different kinds of fame. I consider youtube fame a little less famous than

03:09:04.700 --> 03:09:13.180
Than a like a barrier breaking fame Right like yeah, for sure. No, I agree. I agree. Mr. Beast has a lot more views on youtube than Paris

03:09:13.260 --> 03:09:17.820
Hilton, but I would say that she is more from a conventional standpoint famous than mr. Beast

03:09:18.300 --> 03:09:23.420
Because it's just a name that F***ing everyone knows whether they watch simple life or not

03:09:24.380 --> 03:09:30.220
You just know who she is the daughter of the hilton fortune because everyone knows what a hilton hotel is

03:09:30.620 --> 03:09:33.180
Like there's just there's different kinds of fame

03:09:34.140 --> 03:09:39.420
Is that a generational thing though? Because like we know possibly but I don't think she's talked about in

03:09:40.380 --> 03:09:45.420
Any circles very much anymore. She's still a dj. She's she comes up every once in a while

03:09:45.900 --> 03:09:51.340
She comes up once in a while And but you're right. She definitely had she definitely had a moment

03:09:51.660 --> 03:09:56.860
But she's more in the background now. And so yeah, no, you're right. She was big for our generation for sure

03:09:57.020 --> 03:10:01.180
I just don't think she is anymore That's fair enough

03:10:01.180 --> 03:10:05.180
Porto asks is Seth Curry more famous than Jensen mr. Beast. Absolutely not

03:10:06.220 --> 03:10:10.380
No Anyone who is like other than other than I would say

03:10:11.420 --> 03:10:15.340
Football And by football, I mean soccer other than soccer

03:10:15.580 --> 03:10:21.820
I'd say if you're in an american sport league you absolutely cannot be like worldwide famous not really

03:10:22.060 --> 03:10:27.740
There will be pockets where that sports really popular like they might know a famous baseball player in japan for example

03:10:28.300 --> 03:10:35.180
But it's american the fact that america calls their sports championships world series and stuff is like

03:10:35.500 --> 03:10:40.940
An actual joke outside of america like we think you guys are really funny for doing that because

03:10:41.900 --> 03:10:45.900
Most people elsewhere do not give a s*** like india's watching cricket not

03:10:47.660 --> 03:10:53.980
Actually, I think basketball might be pretty big there But the point is just that they don't have the kind of penetration outside of the u.s. That you might think

03:10:56.060 --> 03:11:00.220
My wife loves all the women's products. She wants to know how

03:11:01.100 --> 03:11:06.300
Uh, she wants to know thoughts on great gatsby on broadway. You saw a few months ago. It is so good

03:11:06.460 --> 03:11:13.660
She's followed it very closely. It's so good. Oh my god. It's so good. It's like what maybe the best play I've ever seen

03:11:14.620 --> 03:11:17.900
Maybe the best it's so good. Go watch it. It's so good

03:11:21.740 --> 03:11:24.220
Gripping performances beautiful music

03:11:25.660 --> 03:11:34.300
I love it When purchasing a mystery screwdriver, do you actually try to mix the colors when possible or just grab whatever?

03:11:35.020 --> 03:11:40.060
When are we getting ratcheted fidget toys? Uh, I don't know if the fidget toy is ever going to happen at this point

03:11:40.220 --> 03:11:46.700
But um as for mixing colors, these are not mystery in the sense that they have all the like different random colors of the rainbow

03:11:46.940 --> 03:11:50.780
It's mystery in that it's one of our screwdriver skews like it could be retro or an octua

03:11:51.340 --> 03:11:59.980
Or a regular one and you get what you get Long time listener first time caller. I'm a foreign medical graduate, but haven't taken my exams

03:12:00.540 --> 03:12:06.060
Because reasons what are some tips you have for staying the course and finishing what you started

03:12:08.300 --> 03:12:12.860
Well as someone who never finished my degree you are definitely um

03:12:14.300 --> 03:12:17.660
Asking an interesting person this question

03:12:17.660 --> 03:12:23.020
Someone who also never finished their degree

03:12:23.580 --> 03:12:32.140
Uh But I think Lance and I can both talk about this outside of just education stuff. Um, I think you have to

03:12:32.780 --> 03:12:37.260
Forget about motivation. Motivation is only good to start doing something. Um

03:12:38.220 --> 03:12:40.940
It will not keep you doing something. You have to use

03:12:41.660 --> 03:12:47.580
Other systems whatever that is Determination will whatever you want to use sure

03:12:48.540 --> 03:12:53.260
But but motivation isn't isn't going to keep you doing something forever. You have to find a different thing

03:12:54.220 --> 03:12:56.540
Find new motivation. Yeah, I think that's really good advice

03:12:58.220 --> 03:13:02.220
Learn to love the work Hey lld

03:13:02.220 --> 03:13:07.260
Do you think industrial design the field still has its influence in one?

03:13:07.660 --> 03:13:14.540
mobile tech to home tech And like it did a decade ago sort of like the lg wing sliding and folding phones

03:13:14.860 --> 03:13:19.580
I mean, yeah industrial design absolutely still has some fun influence. I mean

03:13:20.300 --> 03:13:26.620
um Just because apple ships the kind of the same brick-shaped phone every year doesn't mean that other

03:13:27.340 --> 03:13:31.580
Other companies are doing that. I mean that that Huawei tri-fold for all of the disastrous

03:13:32.140 --> 03:13:37.020
launch it might have had Is definitely a new thought an exciting thought

03:13:37.820 --> 03:13:43.180
And it came from a from a designer's pen at some point, you know, someone had to someone had to go

03:13:43.260 --> 03:13:46.220
Okay, it was someone had to have a reason to engineer that, you know

03:13:47.580 --> 03:13:52.940
As for as for home tech absolutely. I think if anything our home tech

03:13:53.420 --> 03:14:01.820
um And I think a category that exemplifies this really well is speakers our home tech looks so much better today than it did a decade ago

03:14:02.460 --> 03:14:11.420
Like you can have a really nice Speaker setup in a room that is like stealthy like it blends right in. I love it. I'm super into that

03:14:14.620 --> 03:14:19.020
Sebastian in the chat and Floatplane says as an industrial designer. Yes

03:14:20.460 --> 03:14:24.780
So he works for creator warehouse if you guys didn't see his AMD ultimate tech upgrade

03:14:25.100 --> 03:14:30.940
It's really good. It's really good. The table the table he made is beautiful. All those pins you're buying is him

03:14:31.820 --> 03:14:35.580
He also helped me design the table for my uh and mcm upgrade thing too

03:14:36.780 --> 03:14:42.140
sick Hey DLL big howdy from japan that is in congress

03:14:43.260 --> 03:14:49.900
uh With so much talk online lately about microsoft strategy with the xbox brand

03:14:49.980 --> 03:14:54.300
I'm curious about your opinions on it. And what would you do differently?

03:14:54.940 --> 03:14:59.100
Man, it really just seems like they're in a transition phase right now

03:14:59.340 --> 03:15:06.220
You know on the one hand, they're a traditional game console maker on the other hand. They're a software company

03:15:06.860 --> 03:15:13.580
Like a multi-platform software company on the other hand. They're like a cloud streaming gaming service provider

03:15:14.140 --> 03:15:20.060
On the other hand, they're a like a non-streaming games as a service provider

03:15:20.220 --> 03:15:26.940
I and it just kind of feels like they have they have a finger in every one of these pots all at once whereas

03:15:27.900 --> 03:15:34.540
You know companies like nintendo have maintained their laser focus on one thing and it seems to be pretty helpful

03:15:34.540 --> 03:15:37.900
I think xbox as a brand is in kind of a rough place right now

03:15:38.220 --> 03:15:44.380
Like it used to be playstation xbox was one of the the fan boy fights of the for the ages

03:15:45.260 --> 03:15:48.620
And I just don't see a lot of fight in the xbox side right now

03:15:48.700 --> 03:15:53.340
There doesn't seem to be a compelling reason to be a fan of xbox. Um, yeah

03:15:54.300 --> 03:16:00.140
They just seem really confused about the direction. Yeah, I'm Campbell just they will always be very confused about the direction

03:16:00.140 --> 03:16:06.300
Yeah, I I would like to see them commit I'd like them I'd like to see them figure out what the heck they are

03:16:06.380 --> 03:16:10.380
Like is every Windows pc and xbox and if that's the case then you need to make

03:16:10.940 --> 03:16:14.620
The xbox gaming experience way better on the Windows pc like why

03:16:15.260 --> 03:16:22.780
Why are handhelds such a clunky experience today when you guys have all of this deep deep knowledge and experience building

03:16:22.940 --> 03:16:27.900
Great user interfaces the xbox has a really intuitive user interface. It's pretty darn good

03:16:28.460 --> 03:16:31.100
Um, let's see you guys, you know take that

03:16:31.820 --> 03:16:35.580
Take that power and bring it to the pc and I understand all the reasons it won't happen

03:16:35.740 --> 03:16:40.620
It's it comes down to piracy, right? It comes down to anti-cheat and piracy, but um

03:16:41.420 --> 03:16:44.860
I don't know. I'm rooting for them. I hope to see them solve it as a as a pc gamer

03:16:45.740 --> 03:16:50.700
Turn 360 degrees and turn away Hey

03:16:51.260 --> 03:16:57.340
Love the show and love the free shipping deal as an australian fan. I have a qto led tv like Linus has

03:16:57.740 --> 03:17:03.340
What's the best or recommended way to clean your tv screen without causing damage a little bit of water

03:17:03.660 --> 03:17:08.380
And a microfiber cloth and if there's any like grease on it or whatever from fingerprints

03:17:09.420 --> 03:17:13.200
Then a little bit of water and a microfiber cloth and patience

03:17:18.220 --> 03:17:24.300
Hello dlo i teach math and i'm flabbergasted when my students don't know how to submit their work as a pdf

03:17:24.700 --> 03:17:29.660
Our kiddo's lack of computer basics is worrisome. What do you recommend i do to remedy this?

03:17:30.460 --> 03:17:37.340
I don't even know I um that that article recently. Um, what was it on? Was it on the atlantic? I can't remember

03:17:38.380 --> 03:17:43.420
About how kids are arriving in college having never read an entire novel a book

03:17:43.980 --> 03:17:50.060
um There was a follow-up article that I was I was in the middle of reading today and then I got distracted

03:17:50.140 --> 03:17:55.580
So i'm glad we're close to the end of wancho so I can remember I can go read it But basically I don't I don't know what we're supposed to do about this

03:17:56.220 --> 03:18:01.580
like Yeah, people don't know how to troubleshoot. They don't have basic computer skills. They don't know how to

03:18:02.220 --> 03:18:06.060
It's not that they don't know how to read. They know how to read, but they don't know how to sit

03:18:07.820 --> 03:18:13.020
And read and um, I don't know maybe maybe books are outdated, but like

03:18:13.980 --> 03:18:18.540
I can't think Of a more

03:18:20.940 --> 03:18:23.580
Man, how do I say this I can't

03:18:25.020 --> 03:18:30.940
Videos great, but nothing works as a reference material the way that reading does

03:18:31.980 --> 03:18:38.780
um And not having that skill not having that ability to parse written word is

03:18:39.740 --> 03:18:46.620
Scary This is a very large part of I mean we were talking earlier about the social media ban in australia

03:18:46.620 --> 03:18:49.340
This is a very large part of why i'm so supportive of it

03:18:51.180 --> 03:18:55.980
Is I think You know

03:18:56.220 --> 03:19:01.100
The world being super connected and information being at our fingertips and all that kind of stuff is

03:19:01.740 --> 03:19:05.500
Generally a good I think I think there's a lot of good content on the internet

03:19:05.580 --> 03:19:10.780
I would like to think that we make good stuff, but it's also built to be

03:19:11.980 --> 03:19:14.860
The platforms are generally built to be all consuming

03:19:15.980 --> 03:19:23.740
and the level of I know it's a it's just a term right now, but it's real the level of brain rot that you can get from just

03:19:24.620 --> 03:19:31.980
sitting And losing your entire day your entire week your entire year just pouring into tiktok or whatever else it is

03:19:32.300 --> 03:19:36.060
Having absorbed nothing because your your brain is just

03:19:37.100 --> 03:19:42.540
mildly observing The most brain rot quick garbage content if possibly can

03:19:43.740 --> 03:19:47.980
And then moving on is is not good for people learning the ability to

03:19:49.580 --> 03:19:55.420
To get absorbed into A particular piece of content like being able to sit and read

03:19:57.180 --> 03:20:00.700
And enjoy that is actually a good thing because it's

03:20:01.980 --> 03:20:06.860
I don't know The second you're stuck in a scenario where you don't have your phone

03:20:07.340 --> 03:20:12.460
um having people like Genuinely fall into some amount of a panic

03:20:13.660 --> 03:20:19.420
Because their brain is so used to this constant insanely high level of stimulation is just bad

03:20:20.620 --> 03:20:25.820
Like there's there's no way around that that is terrible. You are setting yourself up to be

03:20:26.460 --> 03:20:33.660
Absolutely controlled by whatever corporate interest feels like controlling you at any particular point in time and that's just a bad idea

03:20:33.980 --> 03:20:37.420
um And exposing kids to that super early on

03:20:38.060 --> 03:20:43.260
I don't think it's good But anyways cool gauch says if you're a teacher and your students don't know how to do a thing

03:20:43.660 --> 03:20:47.820
That you need them to do then teach them how but you miss the part where they're a math teacher

03:20:48.460 --> 03:20:54.220
Like there's only so much that so much power we have as individuals and you can't control what kids are doing at home

03:20:55.020 --> 03:20:59.260
um, I think that I think that

03:20:59.260 --> 03:21:08.300
Simultaneously teachers are given less and less resources and more and more expected job functions. I mean, they're not parents, right?

03:21:12.300 --> 03:21:15.100
I'm sorry fazel faizel, um

03:21:16.140 --> 03:21:21.180
I got nothing for you and I have uh, I have the same concerns that you do

03:21:22.060 --> 03:21:26.620
Hey DLL with the coming advent of smart glasses with cameras

03:21:26.780 --> 03:21:33.340
How will they be handled on the privacy side bringing them into bathrooms locker rooms recording with phones is obvious glasses

03:21:33.500 --> 03:21:37.500
Is not it's going to be a big problem It's going to be a huge problem

03:21:37.580 --> 03:21:40.060
Recording with phones is also not obvious. Um

03:21:40.620 --> 03:21:48.300
No, this is already a huge issue Um, and I think this is the same type of problem that we had. I'm going to relate this in a really weird way, but like

03:21:49.260 --> 03:21:51.260
Um

03:21:52.300 --> 03:21:55.500
When when people become no, I'm actually going to skip that because it's not very good

03:21:55.500 --> 03:21:59.660
But when people become complacent about something it becomes a security issue

03:22:00.300 --> 03:22:06.940
um If someone's like waiting for a stall in a bathroom and they just have their phone out and they're just you know

03:22:07.660 --> 03:22:10.620
Scrolling news articles or whatever you're not going to be concerned about it

03:22:10.940 --> 03:22:17.420
When phones were first a thing if you pulled it out of your pocket at all in a bathroom people would freak out

03:22:17.580 --> 03:22:22.460
Maybe i'm old fashioned. It's still makes me uncomfortable. I never take out my phone in the bathroom

03:22:23.180 --> 03:22:29.660
And I expect other people not to Yeah, they do I would avoid them if they do most people are chill with it. Sorry

03:22:30.060 --> 03:22:33.980
I would avoid them if they do like I I mean, that's fair. That's fair

03:22:34.140 --> 03:22:38.700
And if it's like kind of pointed at me, I would I would ask them not to but I don't know maybe that's just me

03:22:39.820 --> 03:22:41.820
Totally. I just I think culturally

03:22:43.100 --> 03:22:47.020
I'm not saying it's a good thing or that people should have I'm just overall culturally

03:22:47.020 --> 03:22:50.300
I think most people have moved on from that um

03:22:50.300 --> 03:23:00.380
And I mean you can have it in your pocket With like the top slightly sticking out like I think people have become less concerned about the backs of phones pointing at them

03:23:01.180 --> 03:23:03.580
And there's no indication that a phone is recording

03:23:04.220 --> 03:23:08.940
Yeah, yeah, that's a good point a lot of other devices we talk about it with the phone. No

03:23:10.540 --> 03:23:14.460
Yeah So like honestly, I think it's just

03:23:17.980 --> 03:23:22.540
Going to be a thing. Um, I think in general the world is moving towards

03:23:23.260 --> 03:23:27.020
um dolls with more proper doors

03:23:27.500 --> 03:23:30.540
As as an interesting side effect. So this might be less of a problem

03:23:30.780 --> 03:23:38.060
Yeah, I'd like to see that more change rooms with private changing spaces I don't really understand why that wasn't a thing in the first place. I've never been super into just like

03:23:40.860 --> 03:23:49.340
Seeing a bunch of like guy bums Yeah, like it's it's as much not wanting to look at anyone else as it is uh

03:23:50.380 --> 03:23:54.460
Not being particularly stoked on just like dropping trial with a bunch of strangers

03:23:54.540 --> 03:23:57.980
But I never did team sports. So I never really like got used to it

03:24:01.980 --> 03:24:07.900
Yeah, um having done team sports doesn't really bother me, but I absolutely understand why it would bother people

03:24:08.140 --> 03:24:15.820
Um, and I have never understood Why in some situations I understand is a cost-saving measure

03:24:16.540 --> 03:24:24.060
um Yeah, in a lot of places. It's like no you definitely have the money for this. It shouldn't have been a big deal. Um

03:24:25.100 --> 03:24:27.100
I don't know

03:24:28.780 --> 03:24:34.300
Oh We need more tall stuff. Yes. Yes. Yes. You're gonna carry one of these every week

03:24:35.180 --> 03:24:38.220
Uh, no. Yeah. Oh, all right. This is it's not related to that

03:24:38.940 --> 03:24:45.900
What's your favorite part of the d-brand torque? Did you see anything cool or have a takeaway that could be used to improve creator warehouse workflows?

03:24:45.980 --> 03:24:52.380
I mean, I leave it to the creator warehouse team to figure out the workflow stuff But I think the coolest thing was probably the art stations. So

03:24:53.020 --> 03:24:55.260
um, the the the pickers and packers

03:24:56.220 --> 03:25:01.100
Have a designated time every day a certain amount of the day that they art

03:25:02.140 --> 03:25:06.220
They do arts and crafts. Um, I don't know. I thought that was uh, I thought that was pretty cool

03:25:07.180 --> 03:25:12.060
Stop reading into every merch message that I curate. They don't know I'll have an agenda

03:25:13.260 --> 03:25:17.100
You I noticed you didn't say that a lot of them don't have an agenda, but sure carry on

03:25:17.420 --> 03:25:20.060
Well, the people who are submitting them probably have an agenda

03:25:21.180 --> 03:25:27.820
Uh, hey last one I got for you here fine. Hey, ldt. I'm glad to finally get a scribe driver

03:25:28.540 --> 03:25:33.340
Question for Linus. Do you find the steam deck or ally to hurt your right hand wrist?

03:25:34.060 --> 03:25:40.460
When using the right stick might get so sore. No, but I also didn't have trouble with the switch

03:25:41.100 --> 03:25:45.500
So maybe I just have robust wrists, um

03:25:47.740 --> 03:25:53.420
Ah, yeah No, I can't I can't say that it's been an issue for me. Um

03:25:54.780 --> 03:25:58.700
You could try a case. There are some cases that alter the ergonomics a little bit

03:26:00.380 --> 03:26:06.220
That's an option And I think an option that we have now is to call it

03:26:06.940 --> 03:26:10.700
Thank you guys so much for tuning into the WAN Show. We'll see you again next week

03:26:11.500 --> 03:26:19.820
Same bad timing Same bad channel one second Luke's computer froze. We we can't see the end. There you go. Yeah, we can hear you

03:26:19.980 --> 03:26:25.900
Oh, okay. Oh, it's it's still frozen on my end, but I guess you can hear me. So good timing. See you guys

03:26:27.100 --> 03:26:29.100
Bye

03:26:32.380 --> 03:26:34.380
