We're back. We're back. Hello?
We're back? Hello? Are we back?
Do you mean we're live as when we're back or you have internet and we're back? You should be live.
We're live. Guess who's back? Back again.
Shady's back. It's really windy here.
Yeah. Okay. There we go.
YouTube is not kicked in. Flow plane is kicked in. YouTube's in.
Okay. Hey. My YouTube's not in.
We're not sure what happened. A switch might have died. Or.
And the power went. Big BC corruption.
Yeah. Might have not liked us talking about them. Someone heard me dissing their farm mansion.
He shouldn't have grown any crops. You shouldn't have done that, boy.
All right. I believe my hundreds of millions alone.
Here's the, here's this place. I earned this fair and square with cocaine and fentanyl deals.
Here's this place that looks like it would be a pretty sick.
It looks fantastic. Pretty sick place to hang out.
Looks great. I mean that, look at this. That's sick.
Look at this presentation room. Wow.
Look at this presentation room. Look at this, look at this meeting room.
Look how professional. Look at that. Isn't it beautiful?
Loading bays. Okay. What's wrong with it?
What's wrong with it is, okay. So number one is it is anywhere from 50 to 100% farther away from me, which I don't
like. Sucks to be you. Yeah.
What else is wrong with it? It's way farther for you too. Yeah.
I will move. It's in Burnaby.
I did once. Yeah.
And how was that? It was scars. My scars remind me that the past is real.
You're not moving to Burnaby.
Number two, it costs about double what our holdings are worth.
I'll cough it up.
Really? Kind of. I'll also read it.
We'll play chess. Tax rate off. Yeah.
Yeah. Easy. Easy solution.
Just rest off. The company is buying a building. It's you buying a building.
So like you're going to have to cough it up either way. Well, yeah. But no, the plan is to sell what we have.
It's to trade. We're trying to get something better. Well, yeah.
You cough it up a little bit. Not necessarily. I don't think we need more space.
No, the plan is to sell what we have.
It's to trade. No, we're trying to get something better. Well, yeah.
You cough it up a little bit. Not necessarily. I don't think we need more space than we have.
No, really not. It just needs to be in one roof. We do not use our space very efficiently.
So.
Well, you do our best. Yeah.
And it's been a growth over time and do things by necessity type of thing.
If you're building something from scratch you can know what you need
When we don't know what we need and we're just trying to make things work stuff just kind of happens
Like what we're sitting in right now Was our neighbor and then was the employee lounge and now and then was
Inventory or were those Inventory and then employee. Yeah, I'm not sure and now is when show set because you just I don't know things
You have to move the puzzle pieces around in order to make everything fit together
So no, I don't think that we need more. I don't think we need more space
We just need a better planned out space and so a hundred thousand one space a hundred thousand square feet is a lot
The other issue with this one. It's so sick is this
I'll show you this These two words opportunity that means that scary. No, no what that means what that means is that it's leased already
Oh This is not priced for owner occupier
So even though it only costs so it costs only twice as much
It's closer to the city which theoretically should have more value. It has a ton of parking
It's on like a nice big lot and it's only and it's it's two and a half times as much space for only double the price
But that's because we can't occupy it so whoever's there is going to stay there and I would just own a building for my personal portfolio
LMG couldn't actually move into it So there's always a deal breaker. It's it's a bigger challenge than I literally not being able to use the building as a pretty big deal breaker
Yeah, there's always a deal. Can you ever talk to the tenant? Can you be like yo?
Are you planning on staying here and stuff commercial leases on the one hand are sort of brutal for the the person who signs them?
financially Financially because it's triple net we talked about that a little bit earlier
But remember how I said that they're like way worse than residential one of the things that's like
I guess worse about them or like more hardcore about them. There is more like not kick the tenant you cannot break them
There is no like what if I can't make rent or like what if I need to
Renovate the building and kick you out or whatever that like essentially there's more paperwork for a commercial lease than there is for a residential sale
essentially it is done
And I don't speak for every region necessarily, but here here. It's done. Yeah, that's it
So what we do that time as it is not done
For now we take e-bikes between the buildings keep looking we we keep our ear to the ground
Yeah, we we kind of you know watch what's happening with the market and we hope that at some point
We can find something but and and we're gonna look at moving some departments around
You know to have people who work together more closer together
But it's it is actually pretty tough and part of the problem is like you said the way that we built this place out piecemeal
Make means that it's not as flexible of a space
Monorail
Okay, anyway What do you want to talk about next messages train tracks behind the buildings and then get those old bikes that you can ride on train tracks
Okay Merch messages apparently. Oh, oh, there's something really exciting for Merch messages though. This is for oh my god. There's so many
There's so many announcements kind of too many announcements guys
Yeah, we might have to dial back the announcements, but okay fine first double sweet 16 live stream
We just hit 16 million subscribers on the on the LTT channel and we're currently planning a stream for November for our 16th anniversary
How did those things line up so perfectly 1 million subscribers a year not bad
We're tentatively planning to look back at some of our most watched videos and do 16 builds that we're gonna auction for charity on
Jawa Wow, that's coming up November 16th
Oh, no for November for our six. I don't know sometime in November. Yeah
Um and now a segue to our sponsor
And it says Dan will play a video. Hi, it's James from LTT Store
And don't ever tell you don't clean the screen with your t-shirt What are rules cuz we made a t-shirt for exactly that purpose a regular shirt
Since the LTT microfiber t-shirt is made of soft fabric loops. It won't this is for your car your jar your glasses your
Phone and it's got this Jersey fabric interior so you can just wear this puppy all day long as a certified glasses cleaner. This works
It's made by nerds. You know the nerds always make good stuff. Here's how to order
If you want sarcastic ads Riley and James are just like
The way to go that was fantastic. I had not seen that before the best part is it wasn't satire
It's I've been wearing it the whole show You didn't even notice this stuff for the people that asked if my shirt was wet. It's a real product now look guys
That funny that funny video aside I do I do not want to oversell this thing because it is not up to the regular
Standards of our regular t-shirts. No, it is not as comfortable
It is literally made of microfiber cloth material. Okay, that means it has some disadvantages in terms of comfort which I
Already kind of touched on but it also has some advantages
Advantage number the first. It's really warm
Yeah, yeah, it is actually like
Uncomfortably warm if you are moving around a lot like a sweater. Yeah. Yeah
It it also means that like the sizing and the and the drape
Are a little different a little different than our typical shirts
So it ends up with kind of like a very fitted fit
I would say if you like art This is me wearing our like my typical size. So if you like our our typical fit, this isn't gonna be it
You could maybe size up or you could just I don't know not by the microfiber. I tend to wear excels
I put on the XL microfiber shirt. My arms didn't fit. Yeah. Yeah, so it's a little tighter
Because it's not it doesn't it's a 2xl. I normally weren't it doesn't have the same it doesn't have the same stretch
You know, but but here. Okay, let's do let's do a little experiment. Okay. I got a
You know, usually my face is greasier than my hands. Okay, so
You know, what the Get that face grease on there. Okay. Oh stop it. Okay. Okay. You guys see it pretty you can see that pretty greasy, right?
Yeah, okay, watch this boom I don't even need to I don't need to go find a cloth. No, where I don't got I did notice like it seems like the
Micro fibers, I guess are like a little shorter maybe then in some cloths
So it might take a little bit more work, but it no it works. She's perfect. Look at that. She's she's completely
Like new not beautiful. Not a beautiful thing. So
It's as much a meme as it is a real product. It's one of those will enjoy it
It's one of those products that came about as sort of a like
What if we what if we do this again? We should do it for April Fool's now. Let's just do it
I asked I asked to make sure we didn't order too many and it sounds like that's probably true
Oh, no. Yeah. No, we didn't order that man, which might mean
Order now you might not get one. Yeah, you might not get a lot of opportunities to get your hands on this
But that might be okay. Yeah So anyway, if you're into it, I will say it's a conversation starter. I'll tell you that much
I mostly forgot I was wearing it. I don't think it's that bad Elijah in the chat said it gave him sensory issues
Your experience may vary. Yeah
Yeah, doing this doesn't feel great if I was gonna go in a jog in this thing. I think I'd be pretty upset
Doing this with your arms is not awesome. Have you tried that?
Well, yeah, the elbows. Yeah, because it's you know, it's microfiber, right? So you'll like you'll like rug burn yourself
You want to know what it feels like go find a microfiber cloth, you know one of those blue ones and
You know put it on yourself. Yeah, but anyway, yeah
Why don't we take a little break from announcements and do a couple merge messages
So the way to send a merge message is to just go to an lttstore.com put something in your cart
You'll see a little box for a merge message and once you check out it'll go to producer Dan
Who will forward it to us or put it down there or who will reply to it himself?
Or who will send it to someone else internally that show you what it looks like when he curates them for us
Sorry Digi brat said can we get with a Star Trek logo? I said like right when I sat down in it
I was like, wow, it looks like a Star Trek shirt. You can put your own Star Trek logo on it
Yeah, we are not we are not licensed by Paramount or whoever the heck to yeah, there's yeah, that's not gonna happen
Yep, then again, you never know if you don't ask
True but it would cost way more. Yeah, you really want it you'd like guys
There's a reason that licensed merchandise always sucks
It's because the money goes into licensing the brand rather than
finding the finest Microfiber rags does it build your shirt and it's incredibly expensive. Yeah
Hit us Dan sure. Hey DLL loving my precision kit already used it to fix my switchblade yesterday
Linus, what's your favorite genre of music to clean your house to? Oh?
Oh I don't know I
I Man, I always I always struggle when people ask me about my taste in music because
It's pretty Random and I know like everyone says that
Everyone says like oh, yeah, I listen to like really random music, but like
No, really. So I got some some maroon 5 here. I got some Tupac. I got some Michael Jackson
I've got some Ghostbusters that random Ghostbusters theme music like no, it's like actually like random like you could just throw a dart
It's you know, I've got some Annie Lennox in here like I don't know
I'll listen to Shania Plain, you know or like
Like Taylor Swift's first album. I'll listen to kind of like pop country. Okay. I'm not into much country country
I came I came across. Oh, man. Oh
Um What's the song called song pillar seven pillars of something I came across these guys pillars of awesome
No, isn't that a thing?
Sabaton seven pillars of wisdom I came across these sabaton guys when I was playing beat saber the other day and it's like it's like freaking awesome
The first thing that I thought when I when I heard this song was like
There's no way that Adam Sondergaard from the writing department does not listen to these guys because it's just like it's like the most
It's it's the most Adam thing ever. So yeah, I don't know random legitimately random. Yeah, I'm
Fairly all over the place as well. Well, I thought it was sea shanties with you. No, that's for the birds
Yeah, I know but I mean, that's what you're listening to while you clean the house for better for worse than it does play a very often percentage of the time
Yeah, it'll be that or like some local radio station Just because like the radio clock thing that we use to make sure that they have music just like plays radio stations
But I never listen to it. I don't really know what's happening or care
nice Yeah, I don't know it. I think it'll kind of depend on like the vibe because I'm I'm I speed cleaning
Maybe like metal or something. Just go for it. Let her rip
No metal. I don't really do I don't really do metal. I don't really do like
The like vocalists, I don't really find it appealing
That's probably my one thing. Yeah, I think the metal that I listen to doesn't have as much of that. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm
I'm not a hundred percent certain But I think so
All right, Dan hit us. Sure Linus I had I just had my second born last Saturday any tips to make it easier on the first born
They are both boys. So I want to build that brotherly bond
Um Communication, you know be honest talk about, you know, what's gonna be good talk about what's gonna be not as good
Always make sure you only have one of anything and make them fight for it
Okay, he's being a bit of an ass about it
But he's actually kind of not wrong because if you don't teach them to share
They're not gonna learn later So I I we we go out of our way to buy one of things in fact, you're gonna see this we've got an upcoming video
Where the kids asked for a karaoke setup? I
Am not a karaoke guy. I don't lose speaker in a phone. I don't know anything about it
But I was like, oh, well, there's an opportunity to
offload the research for my child's birthday wish to
One of our staff members and all I have to do is make a video about it
Which may actually be relevant because When I tried to do the research myself, I discovered that karaoke is one of those rabbit holes that's like dash cams
Where it's just it's just flooded with Aliexpress garbage of products. You don't know which one's good and no reliable information
Yeah, so we kind of came in and we're like, okay We're gonna
Demystify anyway when I when I kind of have my hands on their eyes to be like, huh reveal
I'm like, okay, you know how we do that thing where sometimes your birthday present is for everybody
Well, we're doing that again And and that is something that we do on a pretty really cool way to do it my opinion a pretty regular basis
Like this, you know is your birthday present, but it actually doesn't belong to you
So another example of that is that water scooter thing the underwater scooter. Yeah, I
Bought that as a birthday present for my middle child But I made it very clear when I gave it to the when I gave it to her that she got to write it first
Sure and beyond that
Everybody it was for everybody to you can get some credit for maybe the idea
Yep, if it like goes really well and was like, oh, yeah, this is great It's like, uh, thanks for you know requesting this or whatever. Yeah, that's cool. But you've got a yeah, you've basically got a
You basically got to set the ground rules now and and you've got a micromanage it like oh man
I forget what kind of ridiculous passive aggressive thing one of the kids said to the other last night
I was just like hey That's rude
What should you have said and What do you need to say now, you know, you need to apologize now like you anyway parenting. Okay. What's next? Oh
Yeah, let's do another topic. What do you want to talk about Lou? Do you know more? I want it. Okay. No, let's do a real topic
Oh, I've wanted to see it the whole show Okay
SpaceX sure, let's go
SpaceX literally catches a rocket midair. That's pretty cool
It's actually insane SpaceX made history during its fifth flight
For for the company's two-stage Starship vehicle this week
Which is intended to take astronauts to the moon in the upcoming Artemis 3 mission the rockets first and do many other things to be clear
The rockets first stage the super heavy booster the most powerful booster ever made not only carry to the upper stage
Starship spacecraft to an altitude of 65 kilometers or 40 miles above the earth
But successfully separated and then it says slowly descended a very rapidly descended towards extremely rapidly descended towards the launch tower
after a breaking burn which looks sick the 71 meter or
233 feet or some people are calling 19 story tall rocket booster used
Just three of its 33 engines. That's also not correct to maneuver towards the towers massive mechanical arms which
Clasped onto the booster sort of I can explain that to you in a moment catching it in midair sort of
the Starship spacecraft itself climbed to an altitude of 89 miles or 143 kilometers and
Cruised towards the Indian Ocean slowing itself from over 16,000 miles per hour to near zero
As it splashed down in the water as intended and it was cool how they did that because
While they didn't catch the Starship it kind of like positioned itself as if it could have been
Mm-hmm and then went into the water because they were still trying to test for telemetry stuff
So there's some details about this that aren't immediately apparent
Dan and I were talking about this before the show. Do you see the fins? Can you make this full screen?
You see the fins? That's not what catches it. Mmm. The chopsticks or the arms also do not pinch it, right?
When they call that chopsticks a lot of people imagined that it was like grabbing it and holding it with like friction or something
That's not what happened Also, the fins that come out that you can see are not what caught it. There's these tiny little
In reality, they're like bigger than a person But the things 16 or 19 stories tall or whatever so it looks insane
Apparently it did use three engines for the maneuvering sort of it also used a lot more of that first more than that first
And then went down to three thirteen then three. Yeah, shami shami heel. That is correct
So, yeah, there's there to I mean again, I'm saying little there
They're not that little just in comparison to the structure. They're tiny. You can barely even see them
there's these two little tiny arms that come off the side and there's
sections of the chopsticks that actually go up to touch them so what's actually connecting is very small and like even the
Turn of the ship had to be perfect Wow didn't just have to be aligned like within the chopsticks at all
It also had to be turned to the like almost exact right angle and they nailed it
I think I had a better angle of it, but realistically
You should just look it up yourself so that those people get the views But there's cameras that are closer where you can see those those little arms that that actually catch on to the chopsticks
that was Wild to watch super super cool massive success there first time they've retried it, which is insane
and Also again, yeah, the starship itself while it you know went into the water and blew up that was entirely the
tradition yeah but but watching how it like
Kind of came in and and positioned itself nicely and then set into the water and then was like cool mission complete fell over and
Exploded was wild they had these little buoys in the water Yeah, and you could tell it landed in the right spot because this buoy that I don't think they were controlling is just sitting there
And it comes right into view nicely But one of the if you watch the footage of the buoy one of the like fragments of the starship flies and smacks the buoy
So it was like pretty close But yeah, that was that was genuinely extremely cool to watch and even if you're not super into space stuff like this is this is a
Mind-blowing feat of engineering watching watching something 233 feet tall
Come flying in at crazy speed and then just catch itself is nuts
I mean, I'm impressed when my my little handheld drone hovers. Yeah, you know
That's a lot easier to deal with this this this whole thing was
Yeah, extremely extremely fun to witness. I'm happy that it happened
Um What are you talking about next? What was our announcement topics? We moved the vacuum the vacuum. Yeah, all right
Your vacuum is watching over the past several days
There have been widespread reports from owners of ecovax robot vacuums who say that their vacuums have started acting strangely
Including screaming obscenities at their owners and chasing their pets
The As it turns out these vacuums were remotely accessed by bypassing their pin code which does not use server-side validation
once hacked these maliciously controlled vacuums gave the hackers
control of the vacuum and access to its video feed at
At least one hacking victim a lawyer
Expressed relief that the vacuum had only been used to broadcast lurid language
Rather than used to silently spy on the household. Yeah, ecovax the company was warned about this issue by security researchers
Get this back in December of
2023 After security researchers spoke out publicly ecovax gave a statement to TechCrunch saying they would not fix the security flaws pointed out by the researchers and
Telling users not to worry excessively about this
Earlier this month the Australian Broadcasting Corporation
Successfully demonstrated that they could easily hack an ecovax vacuum and used it to spy on a colleague's family without them noticing
This is in part because the vacuum doesn't play a camera recording warning sound unless it is being accessed from the ecovax app
Note this hack was performed with prior consent. Okay
This I didn't know I had never heard of them before but ecovax vacuums are some of the most popular in the world
Primarily because they are very cheap Our discussion question here is should we be more cautious about and then it just kind of trails off there
That's fine. The team didn't have a lot of time to put together the nose today
Yes, yeah, yes discussion question. Yeah, we should be more cautious about I
Think the the camera flip thing that was made for the Logitech C920s
I don't know if it was actually made by a logitech or not, but do you know the box little privacy screen?
Yeah, I just I just put all my C920s up that I got for the land center
Last weekend because I finally got around the newer ones do my original one didn't it comes with a little plastic clip
And it goes on the front and then it's a little flappy dog physical little thing. Oh
Man if it was a physical little thing No, no, that wouldn't make sense
I'm just not convinced that these robot vacuums actually save any time
Just because they kind of suck. Well, it's they're helpful for me a do it
Maybe it's just because I've never had a house layout that's conducive to using them mine barely is but with the
Constant mess that birds create and the actual ease of cleaning that mess up
It's nice just having something on routine that'll go through and do a pretty decent job
And then you can do a proper one every however long
But having something go like every day or even twice a day to pick up
You know the seed that they've thrown out of the cage or or little bits of feather or whatever else
Whatever else is is kind of nice. Okay?
That's that's a fair that's a fair assessment. I guess for me the issue was just at our old place
There were there were so many transitions and the sunken living room and the multiple
Floors and the super complex upstairs layout like there was
A lot of our problem. Yeah, it's mostly it just mostly just helps the birds
I mean, there's a lot of people in chat that are saying they're super stoked on theirs
so there you go and Like we've we've worked with robot vacuum companies before that have had very impressive
Performance compared to the last time that I actually tried to use one at my house So it's clear that they are advancing in a big way. It's just that our layout just doesn't yeah work for it
Yeah, I think for us It's like we take a problem area and make it no longer a problem
So it takes cleaning from this like annoying thing that you have to do practically literally all the time
To something you can do on a more reasonable schedule. I think part of it is also me just making the mistake of putting in wall to wall carpeting every time
Yeah, I should have just not done any wall to wall in the new place. That was really dumb
But Yvonne and I both like it on our feeties But then we have hardwood in the bedroom anyway, so like
Why did we even? Anyway, I am a wall to wall carpet enjoyer
But when the birds were at the vet not that long ago We did like emergency hyper deep clean and we like borrowed
Emma's dad's like a deep carpet cleaner thing shampoo stuff like that
Yeah, yeah, and went hard and it was gross. Yeah, our pits are gross. They're kind of not sanitary
Wow There's a lot of stuff come out of this
They're fine. If you just never check It's like most things in life. Yeah
Anyways, we should check out our sponsors. Yeah

Hi DLL my seven-year-old lately has shown interest in computer science
Especially cyber security considering getting him a PC to game on and explore his curiosity in the field any suggestions on how to
safely or the operating system
How to safely the operating system?
Punctuation how to do so safely how to do so safe what operating system they should use. Oh, I yeah
I'm looking at the I don't know what they mean by this, but throw them at Linux young
Windows Parental management tools are still terrible
Like they are sort of a disaster archer get a new kid like you can set them up
Yeah, give them arch and then the parental management tools is they
Won't do anything just That's owned that's kind of interesting if they can figure out how to do it then
I guess they're old
Okay, if honestly if they're super into computers and stuff
I don't think giving them the like easiest thing is even probably gonna be what they want
I would throw them at some form of
Could we at least give them something that can kind of do some stuff out of the box?
Seven maybe recommend them there's seven mess around with no gooey modes and stuff. They're seven. Yeah
There's seven, but they're expressing the current in cyber security
Arch console to a cyber security kid. He's gonna feel like a hacker remember this is from a parent
You know parents will see their kid like do you want to do cyber security?
Like get their hands like covered in drool and like smear it on a piece of paper
He's interested in art like you never know I'm not saying Eric is like that. I'm just saying it's it's a possibility
There's seven so like I think it should at least have a gooey sure like don't be like that. Yeah, you could just install it himself
Yeah, or do it with him. Yeah, teach him how to install a gooey. Yeah, that's fun. That sounds like there's some games that feature
Hacking elements. I can't run the navel off top of my head right now. It's pretty old, but it was cool
I don't remember the name of it. What was that on?
What was that like educational like platform thing?
I'll blink. I'll blink. Thank you. I loved that game. Yeah, still do. I'll blink. You can be a hacker hack net. Yeah
There's a there's a Website that is good for learning cyber security stuff that I also can't remember the name of right now
I'm just gonna use chat for
You know everything I guess Hack the box. There we go. What was that one night? Thank you
What was that one that came with a raspberry pi that you would build? Oh, and it had like a bunch of like sort of coding
friendly Games like it had
Kano, yeah, I can't can I know yeah
And I think you can just get the software Like I don't I think you can I mean don't quote me on that. Are they still around separately getting them into the scratch programming language?
Scratches in my opinion genuinely a pretty solid way to learn the basics of things
Kano world is relaunching in partnership with Astro safe and fin
Okay, so that's something
More yeah, hit me. Yeah Some of my favorite content was the crazy
Multi-monitor 16k gaming type deals with a lack of SLI our projects like that even possible. How do we push hardware peripheral limits?
Actually that project did not use SLI it used a quadro multi-sync
So it had four Individual cards that were driving the monitors
Individually and then it had a separate fifth sync card that each of those cards was linked into that handled all the
Disynchronization of the image. That's why it was a little a little a little wonky
that to my knowledge still kind of exists, but I
Think the challenge for us is that we want to find new things to explore
I would also say resolution pumping was like a big thing back then. It's not really a thing now
We all agree. It's kind of stupid. Yeah, like we're definitely gonna do a video gaming in 8k on the 50 90 or whatever when it comes out, but sure
Do we need to game at 16k? I don't know maybe not that that one dude who spends his entire life modding a cyberpunk
Will care. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. So
like okay, like we Like one of the things that people love is us using, you know wacky fans to cool things, right?
So we had that one where we rented those like industrial fans
And we hooked them up to that cooler master case with like a plywood duct and it like blew the top of the case off
That was great. And then we had the one where we Hooked up that like bigger like almost looked like a jet turbine fan to a computer and ran it off of like lipo batteries
But what you'll notice about those two things is that while they both had fans connected
There were sort of different things that we could explore So the second one ended up being more about the lipo batteries and less about just the fan, you know
So we want we want there to be something new for us to talk about we did another like wacky fan video just now
Where we used a turbo to cool a computer
Which is
Alex and I sort of agree maybe the stupidest thing we've ever done
But the difference the difference is that what makes it not jumping the shark is that there's new
Learning outcomes. Okay, we discuss what a turbo is
We discuss why a conventional one might not work and why we might want to use
An electric turbo or a supercharger exhaust fed. Yeah, yeah, normally, but you know a computer
I mean it has exhaust but not like that Just pulled your car up. We talk about the challenges with the high pressure and therefore high temperature of the turbos
Exhaust air or shouldn't say exhaust, but it's output because when you say exhaust
In automotive terms, it sounds like the exhaust not that the like the output from the turbo the fresh air
From the turbo. So it's so the air is actually hot So then we we discuss intercoolers and we use an intercooler and anyway, it's a really great video
But it's more than just taking a big fan and hooking it up to a computer because we've already done that
And we try not to do the same things over and over Does Alex like traveling like does he go to Computex? I don't remember. I don't think he was I think Alex usually does
I don't know if he did Computex last time, but he does CES I think there's a there's a maybe possibility if you guys were interested
Maybe maybe haven't actually asked anyone maybe
That you could do I think Alex did do Computex is a fanless computer build
But in a wind tunnel and try to cool it that way and see what happens. I'd be down
There's another one I want to do. I want to I want to put a computer in a hyperbaric chamber. Oh, I want to know
What like dense or air does yeah, I don't know. That's cool. I love stuff like that
We also still have pending Actually, maybe I shouldn't talk too much about these because these might take us a while to execute
Nevermind the idea is doc is like we're not out of ideas
We got we got one of the oldest thing on it is
Wonder how old it is. I have no idea. I'd have to go back to like
Every That's not bad, you know, it could be kind of fun, too
It's like my three worst ideas and you do like you you have the writer's vote on like what the three worst ideas in the
Dock are you do all three of them in one video? You just do like
I'm kind of down anyways I'm gonna send that to myself sick. Let's go
Yeah, what are we on we're on topics, okay
This makes us catching the rocket. We're talking about that. I fanboyed enough. I could go in for hours. It is what it is
Linus struggling with his stream oh
Linus having streaming issues of this VR PC
Yeah, so I was I did a I did a VR stream last night and I don't know what it is about this machine
But it was perfect for a long time and now whenever I stream I get this like stutter in VR
And I don't feel like the load I'm putting on it is super crazy. I'm running an index
So it's high resolution, but it's not up there with the the best headsets these days anymore or not by a long shot
And I'm streaming at 1080p You know six megabit
But when I use n-bank Oh, one of the things that is a little bit challenging is I'm using live for
To for like a virtual avatar. So it has to yeah, it has to do some compositing but like I
Don't get it because CPU usage sits around like 40%
GPU usage is what it is and if you're using n-bank for encoding it should like be fine
But I think I'm gonna have to I think I'm gonna have to rebuild it
Elijah says I promise it's your CPU. I your GPU is trying to competence up with more overhead on it
It happened with my old computer that that's possible. When is the first time you ever overclock something? I have a 3600
so It's it's not a super high-core count machine
So it's possible that I'm that I am running into some some CPU issues PSP latency spikes
What now DSP latency spikes can often be caused by NVIDIA drivers
It hits the audio and causes hitches like that or the little pop. It's not audio. No, the audio. No, no
No, it like interrupts the system badly and like causes really weird issues like that interesting
And this is what an NVIDIA driver issue you said most of the time it is NVIDIA drivers. You can use something like
There's tools out there. I think it's called process. No
Do you see? Okay, I have another theory
Latency mon. That's it this Windows install. Oh, yeah, I mean has made its way all the way from Windows 7
Okay, okay, but through Windows 8. I didn't know that and I was gonna say start there through 10
Through 11 it is now 11. I did you 8.1 it? I don't remember I I had never I had never intended
To Windows 11 it but one of my kids just like clicked okay upgrade at some point and I good
It's free. I was like, okay. It has had at least three different motherboards
So I may just need to reformat my computer. Yeah, it's it's my VR machine. Yeah. Yeah, so I
Think from the original video where I built it. I just like grabbed a drive and it like already had Windows on it
so It's probably from a completely different system originally. Oh, yeah, and then it's had multiple different motherboards
Oh, yeah, 100% nice. Yeah, so so that might also be it
Yeah, I will I will say I Through fake-shaded Elijah. I will say
Elijah was the only person to set the screensaver in the young people try Windows XP video the way I would have done it
I couldn't that video was extremely fun and
Oh
Deeply infuriating at times CD dual case. Oh, yeah, I know that actually killed your soul
Look, I talked about I talked about this with Luke after if you don't know how they work
It's a spine on it. There's a spine. It's a spine if you don't there's a clear pivot point
You open at the opposite end Luke if you've never if close your laptop. How do you open it? Oh?
Even some cardboard boxes can be a little bit challenging
Even though you can clearly see which way it's supposed to open because of the way it like comes over and in or whatever
I don't think to someone who's never seen one before. I don't think it's immediately obvious
Even though I know how to open them I have struggled with CD dual cases, especially when they're brand new crack it open
Well, yeah, I'd like I know the techniques like it like a nut
But I'm talking about like my whole life like at some point in my life
I didn't know that and like when they're brand new and they're like they're kind of sharp and the first time they were ever put together
I don't know. They can be a little crack. It can be a little hard to get a little hidden. They can be a little tough
There's also a very obvious hinge on one side
I'm just saying I get it I get it, but
It was a little hard. Yeah, it was a little hard to witness
I do think and and I noticed today actually after we talked I swear I didn't steal it, but I noticed one of the top comments
The second comment from Daniel. Oh when tech Daniel Owen tech. Okay, cool is now check if they can use Windows 11
Most of my high school students have no idea how to do anything on a PC that isn't in a browser and
Watching the video. I was actually surprised. I think my rose-tinted glasses were like
Cracked or something. I thought it was gonna be harder for them to do these things I forgot how much it would prompt you with like. Oh, you tried to do something. What do you want to do with these things?
Yeah, you inserted a thing. Here's all your options. I forgot how much that Windows XP was pretty sick. Yeah. Yeah, it was it was
More positively since watch it was a turning point for Windows for sure because 98 was
It was simple, but you couldn't do that much. Yeah, like 98 was really easy to use
I was not stoked on the move to XP and how likes over complicated the start menu was now and stuff like
What is all this other crap? I just need my programs like what what you know, like and
Obviously my recollection of this is pretty spotty given that that was a hot minute ago and I was quite young
But I I remember not having a problem using 98 SE
and then XP was like The only reason that I got kind of got good at using it was because I was at a stage in my life where it was fun to just like
You know explore and spend the Ample free time that I had because I didn't have a job, you know playing around just was fun that way. It was it was fun
It was I think it actually was just fun. I think it didn't get in your way
I think it had a lot of ease of use that modern operating systems have
You know, maybe not as much as the most modern ones But it had a lot of ease of use built in it wouldn't get in your way and you could do a lot with it
It's very cool that way You know what else is cool
We should do a couple more announcements. Yes
A lot of people have been requesting a smaller version of the LTT backpack here it is a
A
Backpack built to support your day every day
Your day organized pockets for all your tech and essentials ready for you to access in seconds
No more rummaging our most portable backpack yet with a 20 liter capacity
built to last with durable water-resistant reprieve canvas a rivet reinforced top handle YKK zippers and a
certified Validated dual layer bottom. I didn't know you did that's hilarious
product Specifications may change
But you can sign up for it at LTT Store comm slash pages slash commuter dash sign up and I am really excited about this thing
Are you gonna cut into it? No, I'm not it's not necessary. We already did that. We already did that
This is it It can hold love this pocket
It can hold a shocking amount of stuff
Considering how much smaller it is than the OG backpack. We have external water bottle holders on both sides
So if that's it was more of an ergonomic choice than thinking that anyone needs to carry two water bottles
So people do sure but it was more to do with depending on which way you like to swing your bag off to grab your water bottle
Wanted to have the option on both sides, but I use this side for my
Precision screwdriver kit and also get this so you can see the the bag there. Yeah, let's hit the pocket there
There's a little hidden zipper here. I didn't know about that. I keep my mouth open there
Okay, pretty cool, right? Yeah. Yeah, I didn't expect the hidden pocket to be that big. I didn't expect you to pull a mosa
Oh
Man it like yeah, you're gonna need a second hand because it it it wants to be more streamlined
So it tries to close a little bit like the OG we have our RFID protected passport pocket back here. I believe
Oh, no, it was gonna be accessible from both sides. I killed that
Because I didn't think it was necessary. It's got a sunglass pocket. I
Have a ton of stuff in mind right now sunglass pocket in there It does not include fancy dangly thing made by Linus's children. Oh, yeah, no, that's that's not part of the bag
Yeah, and then it's got kind of a pocket of holding just like the OG one
So I've got a bulky sweater in there. I've got a
Tech sack in there to help with organization That's about it because it is a significantly smaller bag
So that sweater you have organized your pockets after that took up the whole thing and then ah in here
We've just got you know kind of a variety of pockets including one for the screwdriver
I've got a little magnetic thing on here to kind of you know
Keep them from getting all flappy doodly and then just like the original bag. It's it's tech first, right?
so These go all the way down which they didn't in the initial revision because of the interference with the water bottle pocket
But we found a new way to construct it so that they can and we've got one
Two sleeves so you can have like your laptop and your tablet or your big laptop and your smaller laptop
And then we've also got space on this side for your one or two chargers
And then a mouse or something Yeah, or a charger and a mouse or something like that and then we've got this cannot get the angle right on this
We've got a black zipper pocket right here so you can you know put some some low-profile things down there as well
The ergonomics are really good I would say it is as good if not better than the original one, especially if you have a smaller frame
like your body the frame of your body and
It's going to be have we announced pricing I don't know
Given that the team hasn't I'm not gonna say it not in the blurb that we have and I don't see it on the site right now
Was there a blurb sorry did I hit all the points in the blurb? I don't know neat. Well, anyway
Cool not yet. The official answer is not yet. The official answer is not yet. Okay. Well
It's gonna have a price it will yes
It will have that LMG dot GG slash commuter Dan. Do you mind throwing that in all the chats? Yep. All right
Okay, fine. Do you want to get to see it? Yeah
All right, all right We just did that really darting all over the place. I'm trying to copy the link. Yeah, that's I mean
It's not like it was 12 characters. You can eat. Oh my goodness
Okay, this one's for all the floaters out there
Yesterday Sarah went live on Floatplane designing a shirt with suggestions from our Floatplane
Subscribers the result a design that Luke has not yet seen. No, I was busy working
I didn't get to see it at all and I have also actually not seen oh
Cool, so it's as far as my understanding goes. It's a bit of design by committee
So there was input from the audience But she did the actual design work and you have to be a Floatplane subscriber
And then log in with your Floatplane account on the store to be able to buy it. Oh, okay
So Dan if you want to copy this one as well
Okay, I that's so sick What am I looking at? It's a Floatplane with a little dino hanging off it. I think
That's actually so cute
What is it on the back you want to zoom in? Yeah, oh
Okay, that is adorable
Actually, you're like the wings bro. Oh, you probably chewed the wing off on this side. Oh my goodness. That's my assumption
Hold on someone says they see bread bread. I don't see any bread. I don't see any bread
Did did she hide bread in it? Is there hidden bread, Dan? No way. I don't know. I was doing my job bread plane
What are you guys even talking about? I think no, is it made of bread? Is that why there's a bite out of it?
baguette wing Is it oh cuz wait no, I think it's a get the little the little marks like a baguette
Is that is that was that intentional that is probably a stretch? Yeah. Yeah guys. I don't know about that
Yeah, those little marks there they kind of look like baguette marks
The planes landing Like the pontoons were supposed supported to be bread. I don't know what you guys are talking about anyway
Fiction now. Thanks Floatplane Enjoy your exclusive t-shirt. It is only available to Floatplane subscribers. So if you all want to leave a merch message
This is your chance. Oh Slash fp merch 10. Well, yeah, we sold out of them. Yeah, we don't get to wear them. Sorry
I guess I'll have to have some shirts that aren't tolls
Sorry Luke. Yeah, they're so nice dude. Oh
Every day that I don't have a clean one or I'm like too lazy to do the laundry again because like the t-shirt one the non
Sleep what it's probably two weeks. It's probably gone through the laundry. No joke like ten times
And then I went to I did my thing where like, you know, I try to let the audience buy stuff before I request it
They're gone Yeah
Sorry
There's some long sleeves left, but the short sleeves they only have short medium large extra large extra extra large and
Small are all gone. Not short. Oh, right. Yeah, all good. Yeah, I bet
Specifically not short actually. Yeah
Okay, the last announcement is do you still need your original LTT backpack carabiners replaced
We have contacted all the backpack buyers We think but we want to call out our form one last time if in case there's anyone who missed it
All you need is your order number and just go to LMG.gg slash carabiner form to request it
It'll be closing soon. But if you miss the deadline for the form
Yeah, trust me, bro. We still got you you can message support. We know this took a long time. We've learned a lot
But whether you own a backpack or not We hope you feel that we've honored our commitment to do right by our customers
And we have finally delivered carabiner replacements to everybody with an LTT backpack
Speaking of things that aren't right. Oh No this
Dog-specific chatbot an AI powered pet caller called the Shazam band
I wonder if they're gonna get sued uses sensors and speakers to allow your pet to talk to you out loud in a human-like voice
The caller comes with 30 different voices with associated personas such as southern bell and mafia boss
Cool How much insight the Shazam band actually has into the emotions or thoughts of the animal wearing it spoiler alert
The big old guess but zero
Yeah judging by its demo the device appears to use some amount of
Situational cues such as what the animal is currently doing or the behavior of nearby human beings to inform its responses
Oh good, so it's buying on us real good then yeah It's all every part of this is perfect the caller optionally includes GPS tracking and text notifications
Includes the animal gets lost or winds up in danger or starts following random strangers around talking to them
Which would be crazy the base version cost four hundred and ninety five
Cauts for a Bluetooth speaker with junk
Enhanced version it probably needs a subscription to I don't know the enhanced version it costs
$595 and there is yes, there's optional subscription fees that cost two hundred to three hundred dollars annually
after the first year So do you want to have a entirely fake relationship with something that you only have in order to have a real relationship with it?
Wouldn't that be cool wow Do you want to be actually completely not in tune with what your dog is thinking or just feeling at all imagine?
Yeah, you know there's been a bunch of this type of stuff Like there's been this trend where people try to use chat GPT to like talk to their future selves and
They're getting like really emotional over it, and I'm like that's not you
That that's not you at all you're talking to a robot
Please stop
My goodness anyways
Citizen Bean says personally, I use dog psychics. This may be a product for Dennis
Some people do actually go to psychics to tell them what their animal is thinking yes
This would be cheaper than that in the long run
And probably just as accurate
Actually probably not even because if you actually know anything about animals at all
You can probably tell something of like what its attitude I guess you would bring it yeah, yeah, yeah
Might I make a suggestion like you guys hide animal dog is the psychic if you I mean it would have to be for the psychic to form
A link with where was the hyphen? Oh Can I make a suggestion if you have $600 to burn?
There's always the luxe backpack it won't talk to you unfortunately it has no AI whatsoever
But there is one review for it and buddy is stoked. So there you go
It's got a little bit so it's got a whale on it. Okay. Oh, that's kind of I just really didn't know that that's kind of sick
I love that so many products on the store just have so many reviews
Like the screwdriver and the water bottles and stuff have an insane amount of reviews
We only just started shipping them recently Oh, we've been taking orders for like a year
But it took a long time to get it done because of all the issues with our backpack supplier
In all seriousness the Luxe backpack, I think we have like three left in stock
Because we overordered compared to what people preordered but not by that much
And then it took a lot longer for us to get them and we kept taking orders. So by the time they actually arrived
I think we only had like 10 extra So if you want one actually do order it right this second
If you don't want one, then I don't know if we're ever gonna make one again. So
Yeah Cool, good chat This this guy makes a $600 backpack, but won't build Linus town. I know right well
Maybe if people bought more $600 backpacks, I'd be able to did you ever think of that Luke?
That's where you have to store your ID card is in your $600 backpack
I mean it makes perfect sense to me and get randomly ID'd on the street
someone asked how many Luxe backpacks we sold and This seems like the kind of Intel that would be really stupid to like talk about publicly
In in other news, I'll do a topic while you're looking that up the FCC makes cancelling easy because Lena Conn is a boss
Okay, this is actually the coolest thing ever and I love it and every country needs to do this
And I don't say that that often a lot of stuff. She's doing is sick
The FCC has released a final version of its new click-to-cancel rule
Which requires companies that offer subscription services to provide methods of unsubscribing that are at least as convenient and easy
As their sign-up method a service you signed up for with an app needs to allow you to cancel via app or online a
Gym you signed up for in person needs to allow you to cancel by calling or online the new rule will take effect in around six months
Very cool Very cool very nice
Discussion question is can some subscription services even survive without lover leveraging the ADHD tax
This will hurt some of them for sure if if for no other reason then because this law comes in
I think people will pay a little bit more attention They'll go like oh, I wonder what things I'm subscribed to now that it's easy to unsubscribe and then go we can help
Yeah, oh, yeah, how is the how is the the Twitter block function change not in the dock?
I totally slept on that this week. I even went through and was looking for stuff to add
I just totally forgot about it. I don't know
Basically people you blocked can see your stuff now. They just can't interact with you. Is that right?
The funny thing about that to me though I don't know what it is. This is where this is where I'm a little confused about it is um, I
I don't understand what difference it makes it doesn't make a difference at all because block was not
Like protected tweets. It was just they can make another account
Yeah, you could you could have another browser tab that's logged into a different one or isn't logged in and then you could see it there
So I yeah, this this being the straw is very confusing to me
The MCG said blue sky got over half a million users. Yeah, and I've seen a bunch of people
Okay, bots No, go ahead. No, I don't know. No, I don't think that's actually the issue. I don't think that's why people are
Migrating to blue sky in droves right now. I think it's actually more to do with that. They updated their terms
So any art you post on X just belongs to them for AI training now. How is that not a bigger story? I don't know
Okay We're just used to it by this point. Yeah, so there's no opt-out anymore if you post something on there. It just like
Belongs to them to use what if it's already on there? I don't know that should be super illegal
Well, I mean there's a lot of things that should be super illegal, but that's true. I don't know sure. Yeah. Yeah, crystal thief
Said it's not just that it's the AI crap. I hadn't heard of that at all
I had only heard of the the blocked thing. Yeah at the block thing
Honestly doesn't it that seems like kind of fundamentally not understanding how the block function worked
Like if you're sort of mad about this change, it just doesn't I don't really understand how it makes a difference
Apparently luck sold out. It did. Oh balls. I said luck sold out
I was gonna order it as my Christmas gift myself next month. Well, I'm thinking about that as well. You were yeah
Merry Christmas, then I guess seems like something you might do actually
Might have thinking about it for a second might have been for somebody else. I don't know. Oh, I haven't quite decided
That's why I've been dragging my feet on it for so long. It's a lot of money. It outsold Luke Newcombe. I
Think oh, let's see if I can find it. Yeah, we uh, that was a weird
Decision that was done. I wear it like every weekend. So does
I I wore it
This story I wasn't planning on leaving the house one day
Emma's car was at the shop Suddenly ready to be picked up. She needed me to go get it. I went to go get it. I didn't think about what I was wearing
I was wearing the Luke Newcombe shirt. I
Walk up and it's this like random tire shop
And there's one of the worker dudes just sitting outside on a tire just chilling and as I walk up
He's like Luke Newcombe And I'm like I looked out. I'm just like
Even I don't wear shirts with my face on them
Oh, it was so brutal the name. Yes, but the face really
Gilmore D says I'm wearing my Luke Newcombe shirt right now
The thing was they had a bunch of different color options before they decided on one. So they gave me like
The those ones basically so I have like a bunch of this shirt
I can't wear any of them
Yeah, so Luke Newcombe Sold, let me see if I can find it was also like a reference from one
A random obscure wad show that never came back and then we sold shirts on it like weeks later
It made no sense. Sarah brought me over to see the draft of the design. She's like, I have no idea what you want
Place this in
We sold 129 Luke Newcombe t-shirts. So you personally own probably like a solid four percent
Of the total Luke Newcombe stock of the world. We didn't sell those
I know, okay. Yeah, but I mean you but yeah, yeah, yeah
Um, this thing you said stock energy So Luke Newcombe shirt was also outsold by meme face sequin pillow clearance. That's actually sad outsold by
um Got fish pullovers
Um outsold by red dad hats, you know, if I knew we were gonna do it
I could have like kept the meme going for longer outsold by sweatband sets
I don't take fall for any of this. Um, all of beanies crushed it. Uh, yeah
Even our even our abc book character plushies outsold the luke newcombe shirt
Unfortunately, I like I'm pretty sure I've actually bought some of those. Yeah, those are those are pretty nice. Um,
Okay, for if you guys are curious, uh, we ordered 240 luxe backpacks and they are now sold out
Um, so not like a smash hitter anything, but when you compare the revenue number to other things that sold, you know, 200
250 units, it's it's pretty substantial
Um Yeah, so it's like order 50 more
I don't even know that we'd be able to bring it back Because the only reason we were able to do a production run of it was because we took
Preorders for it, which we kind of learned our lesson because some people toward the end were getting kind of irate about waiting so long for it
But you know how we are we're not going to ship it until it's ready. Yeah. Yeah, um, but but the only reason we were able to commit to a
production run of it was because we took preorders for it and then, um
We would have to produce like enough To to meet a minimum order quantity and we wouldn't want to take preorders for it again
So I don't I don't know how we'd justify it. What is the rarest LMG merch item?
The rarest. Yeah I don't know if we could technically know because we sold stuff before
Um, there was that patch hoodie that you did but that was not necessarily like that was a yeah
I mean the one in like fluke kind of chance, right? Yeah the the ones that like had rare patches on them
I mean some of the some of the lambo stuff where we've only done 70
minus one units That's that's pretty rare. We don't say that anymore
What 69 units nice. Okay. Yeah, okay. I didn't know I'm I'm a meman. I was like are you avoiding this for a reason?
I wasn't sure. Um I thought you'd be in drake for a second. I mean more than 92 pretty much
Pretty much anything that we pretty much anything that we order we have to order hundreds of so
Yeah Some of the pins some of the pins in the in the like rgbe
Yeah I was wondering like maybe going all the way back to like the the original logo shirt
Like way back or the keep on digging shirt. Oh the like me and a box coming out of it like one
I think only like four of them exist or something like that from the cafe press store that we set up back when I was at ncix
I ruined mine very recently actually. Oh, no, I washed it and just the ink had not
aged well and it just
Completely disintegrated in the wash. Yeah bummer
All right, what are we supposed to be talking about Dan? Are we supposed to be doing topics?
Uh, you have five and a half minutes left until eight o'clock twitter blocks blocking is in the is in the dock
Oh, hello. Uh, yeah, well, I totally I totally missed that great work everyone who worked on the dock on that
Yeah, so that My bad
Some users are calling this a win for stalkers while proponents
Uh, argue blocked users could already view public content. Yes, okay. No, we need to talk about
um, the us uh, a us appeals court has sided with music publishing giant sony universalan warner against
isp grande communications Concluding that grande purposefully ignored customers who were engaging in copyright infringement and should have taken action
Up to and including the termination of the accounts of some of these customers
Another isp cox communications is attempting to appeal a similar ruling to the supreme court
Cox argues that copyright infringement notices sent on behalf of record labels aren't reliable and that forcing isps to
Disconnect users based on unproven piracy accusations will cause great harm
A supreme a supreme court brief filed by multiple isps argues that the ruling against cox
Imperils the future of the internet By exposing internet service providers to massive liability if they don't carry out mass internet evictions
It further argues that this decision potentially harms other residents at the disconnected address who may have had no involvement in the infringement
Your parents are gonna be so mad This appeals court ruling is
Crazy crazy
I there are that we have not even touched we have not even scratched the surface
Of the potential problems with a ruling like this like imagine being an educational institution
You're the it admin and now it's your job to have an absolutely
Bulletproof system for making sure that nobody downloads any copyrighted materials or what your internet goes out
Because the isp is not going to want the liability. Do you have any idea?
What kind of damages they seek for every single instance of copyright infringement?
The numbers are ridiculous because they don't they don't go based on like that movie would have been 20 bucks or whatever
Like it's like it's crazy. They want like tens tens of thousands of dollars per per instance, right? So
isps are going to be if this if this happens for real isps are going to be
trigger freaking happy to Cut off anything that looks like it could possibly be anything that could get them in trouble
This is freaking wild dude VPNs. Oh, yeah. Hey, uh, Dan. Do you have our pia affiliate thing? It's automated
Unfortunately, oh, it's it's automated. What does that even mean? It it appears during banner after dark randomly. Oh
I just mean do you have the link do you want to put it in the chat? Oh, oh, oh, okay. Yeah
I think you want me to put it on screen now Look a VPN is not a silver bullet for like cyber security or whatever. Um, that that's not a thing
um But but it will make it so that they can't tell that you're downloading pirated stuff. It will do that
So thanks Dan Yeah
Dan can you also throw the carabiner link in there's a couple people asking about it. Sure to make sure they get it
Thank you so much. You're wonderful all right
Should we after dark it? I'm running on after dark it on little time. Let's do it. It's after dark time
I I just tasked Dan with like two things though. So how's he gonna switch us to after dark mode?
He would have to be some kind of magic man Oh, I did it
Doing the what a guy what a guy is a little harder
And then we do seeing sorry. I'm he's on it. I'm trying to do two things. Let's watch him work
And then we go also here. Have you ever had this many people judge you at once?
Yeah, I've been to a family reunion Got him

Hey, landuken dinos saving for a commuter backpack question for the small boss as a cereal fan
Have you tried milk bar in vegas or la? It's not an alcoholic bar. They have cereal and milk ice cream
I'm gonna have to try that at ces this year. I have not heard of that milk bar cereal bar
Yeah, that sounds genuinely more interesting to me than
But you can just get them at the grocery store like future grain. Oh my goodness
The second I said cereal bar. I was like, this is gonna come back to me. I don't know how
Captain fast
Is that I can pray you're going to see yes this year? Uh, oh, yeah, I gotta go
Yeah, it's just a thing I think it's just a thing. I think that um, I think that I tried real hard to not have to go and
Nothing against the team, but I need to go
He's gotta go. I gotta go like on purpose
Uh, good day l ld. I
I have a new job as a senior fs dev I assume that's full stack the tech department is less than a year old and doesn't follow best practices
How would you suggest I push for change leading by example?
Most most tech departments that are a year old aren't gonna follow best practices
Um, yeah, try to lead by example do what you can push for certain pieces of change that you think are going to be most impactful
Um work with uh, your your I don't know your managers whoever else in there to try to
Like there's this there's this thing that like if you want to get stuff done
Um propose solutions or options. Yeah, um, don't just complain about stuff and keep realistic expectations
Yeah, I think that's a good thing. I think that's a good thing
And keep realistic expectations Yeah, because your manager probably has 10 trillion things to do because most companies don't have enough
I find most companies either don't have enough or they have like about seven times too many
There doesn't seem to be a lot of like right in the middle. Um, so try to yeah, if you if you're like
You know what? I'm gonna look up a few different good options for doing this thing
I'm gonna a b and c these options show the pros and cons show the one that I vote for and I'm gonna hand this over
You're very likely to get something done. Um compared to like I don't like I mean
Or just not saying anything and and hoping that it gets fixed magically. That's that's the that's a real fun one
I love that. Everybody loves that. It's very useful. It works really well
Stop complaining. Uh, but yeah, I wouldn't sweat. I wouldn't sweat it too much. Um
It's uh, it's pretty common Yeah, moving on
Hi DLL, who do you think will be the main benefactor of the newly announced x86 alliance AMD Intel?
Yes vendors or end consumers
Um AMD and Intel
Actually, I think I think other members of the ecosystem will benefit as well
um, just from not having to deal with
Like a diverging x86
Um, I actually I think it's I think it's kind of a win overall
Um industry cooperation and standardization is probably the only reason that you can even plug the same usb devices
Not probably is the only reason that you can even plug the same usbc cables into apple and and pc computers
Like it's generally a good thing. I I don't
I don't necessarily know that it's going to be the
The the I don't think it's necessarily going to mean that x86 wins forever
But I think it will strengthen x86 which in general is good better better stronger competitors means more competition for us means better products for us
I'm into it. So it's pretty wild seeing uh pat gelsinger and lisa sue like on stage together
Like what timeline is this all we need to was jensen up there and I'd be like, okay. I quit
I'm done. This is this is this is peak tech industry and it's all downhill from here. Yeah
weird Oh, okay, it's up cuz you know
We're gonna get new colors the weird blue one
Purple hey lld would be Floatplane exclusive shirt be a permanent fixture on the store
Or is it a limited run very short term is drop? Yes
Any earbuds you'd recommend
There's a lot of videos on earbuds on the ShortCircuit channel
Yeah, I mean I love my airpods pro 2s
The airpods force with a and c actually
If you if especially if you don't like the silicone tips
I was Lord by how decent
By how decent the a and c was It's decent. It's solid
I was very surprised by that. Yeah, I've heard that from a lot of people. Yeah
The fp shirt is already selling out. Is it is that even a thing is that possible? I thought it was
like a what How do we sell out a pre-sale? Yeah, what are you talking about?
Uh
They look like they're here to me
Oh Oh, there may be some colors of blanks
that we uh Only have a limited amount of we might be clearing out our olive blanks
Black large
That seems rough, huh? Um
Maybe we should find out
Cool Dan, you want to hit us with another one in the meantime? Sure
If team what if possible Because he's calling someone I think
Sorry if possible one for me. He's calling someone if teams is so bad
Why can't you make your own home chat system? Oh god
That's a stupid question
I'm in pain
Oh, man, what do I even say? Um, I mean there's a lot of mumble. Yeah
Nice. Um Hold on. Hi, uh, mr. Nick you're live on the wancho
Oh, wait, hold on
Why is my speaker so quiet? I'm sleeping baby on my lap. So I'm talking quietly. Oh, he has he has sleeping sleeping baby
Um, okay. People are wondering about why the dinosaur shirt is selling out because it's a presale, right?
I would have to confirm. I know we're pretty light on blanks. We have some coming in right now
Uh Okay, duly noted. Thank you
All right. Bye. See you later. Have a wonderful
Oh, and he's gone. Well, have a wonderful something. I guess he'll have to imagine
He'll have to imagine what I'm wishing him a wonderful love Well, if you want a large, I guess you can get all of and if you want, uh
A double xl or triple xl. I guess you can get uh a black
And if you want to look inventory management is hard, okay, you're screwed and if you want a blue so it matches the site
I'd like to see you do it better. Go got him
Okay, we're working on making tools to make it easy. I know. Yeah hit me Dan
Uh, that's kind of all I have for the curated. There's a couple more here. Maybe let's see
Um, I was wondering where the stuff on the store gets stored. I'm guessing you don't have it all on
Site with you guys. No, uh, we use a third party logistics company that's actually run by one of my former colleagues from ncix
It's on anisos island actually We talked about anisos island earlier
Um And we we actually did a pop-up there once when we launched the backpack
Because it was impractical to move because the backpack is so large
It was impractical to move like a significant number of them to somewhere else to do it
So we just did it out the back of their warehouse. Um, I remember that I think it would actually be kind of cool to do a
A tour of it or something, but maybe not and it's not high-tech like it's it's pretty low-tech. I've never even been there
Um, I've only been there once for the backpack pop-up pop-up. Maybe like a Techquickie on like
How do you get things? And it goes through like the logistics process when you order something
Which is super cool, by the way. Yeah, except that like again ours is pretty low-tech
Yep Yeah
Only there's a way to order something there isn't we know like our blanks our blanks are our own blanks
And we don't have a blue one until like we don't have one. Yeah
That we can't we can't just like order some we there are blanks
Yeah, and we don't have a blue one. Yeah
But we have a microfiber shirt and I don't think you want that shirt in blue blue microfiber with the design on it
um Oh, yeah, I I also would uh, you know like the full plancher to be in blue
It's just it's not gonna happen because our we don't have blue blanks. We sold 150 microfiber t-shirts today
I don't think our inventory is going to last very long on those
That is freaking hilarious. You guys are hilarious. You know that, right?
Like do you actually know that though? I seriously wonder how many of them are selling because they look like star trek shirts
You think so? They like really kind of do they really kind of do don't they?
Especially with like the way the light kind of catches them like they really black collar
That was not intentional. No, I know I didn't see it at all. Yeah
And now I cannot wear it and then I was like, whoa, I can't I can't unsee it. Yeah
At least you guys aren't wearing red. Oh damn. I got my I tried to do the yeah. Yeah. Yeah
Sorry, okay. Yeah, we aren't wearing red. So we'll survive the night. Yeah
I
And I guess I got one more curated and that's probably about it
High lld paradox interactive admitted last week that releasing city skylines two
In the state that it did was a mistake. Do you think this is indicative of a larger intolerance for unfinished games?
I think that one was also kind of a unique situation where
The original game had changed so much from its original release state
That they were kind of in a in a difficult position where
Yeah, there were problems But also one of the biggest problems was that the modding
And the modding ecosystem for the original game was so good and so vibrant
that they actually like they had kind of no hope of
Matching the feature set of the new game but also of the old game at launch
Like it was always going to take a long time But they also like screwed it up by having technical issues and stuff. I
Yeah, like it's clear they screwed up I mean the ceo said as much
But I don't know that if it's I don't know that it's because people are generally less tolerant of unfinished games
So much as it's that that was a pretty unique situation
I do think though that people don't understand what beta means anymore
Oh, did it launch in a beta? No, I don't think it even did I do think people's expectations of anything they can use are pretty high. Oh, yeah, so
To be fair companies poisoned that well 100%
100% Minecraft isn't beta for like a decade. Yeah insomnia access. It's the sims problem. Every new release is so basic
It doesn't feel like a finished game until there's a bunch of expansion packs. Yeah. Yeah, totally
Civ to a lesser degree suffers that I find most civ games are better after one or two
Expansions all right. Demi says there were basic features and functionality missing. Give me my bike lanes. Yeah
Yeah, 100% like they I can see where the ambition was in city skyline to city skylines too, but
It's clear that there were blind spots um
I don't know. I don't know what they could have done other than just
Eat it and work on it for longer
Sometimes isn't an option Top gear lux is not coming back
For those of you planning on buying for family on christmas
It is october the 18th I just told you we just sold the last of the inventory. What do you think new ones are going to come from it?
This may surprise people there are legitimately people that this is going to surprise
But the items on our store are not just rebadged ali express stuff
I know right the water balls are rebadges, right? Yep. Yeah. Yes, but even then
We do our own production runs. We don't just like
Go to the corner store. Yeah and buy one and then put our label on it. Yeah, so production lead times are
Long we have our own lid But like most most of the things that people know the store for
Are our own things Yeah, our own shirt planks
Screwdrivers backpacks all that kind of stuff is our own engineering. That wasn't always the case
um desk pads and water bottles carried the store for probably like
Year and a half two years, but nowadays the revenue is didn't we make aren't the desk pads your own thing?
That's not a rebrand their own design and they're to our own spec Okay, um, they are our own custom
That wouldn't mean that it's a rebrand then though Uh, oh, okay. Yeah, okay. No, that's true thickness. So so it's a we're talking the oem versus odm
So this is oem And then the I would say the desk pad is odm because we gave the design guidelines. Yeah
That's its own product. It's probably in between not as much. So as a screwdriver. Yeah, no, not even yeah, not even close
different category I know it's like six months. It's still not a re-batch. Can we maybe get another pre-order says top gear?
Like dude, if you want something you gotta like you gotta order it
I uh, oh man, I I don't know because it was made by our old backpack supplier who spoiler alert
Isn't the one making these oh there goes the water
And that my friends is why you closed the lid on your water bottle
Hey, we have some cloths that aren't going to be very absorbent. Uh, oh
Hey, we have some cloths that are more absorbent. Hey, we've got a Dan. So yeah, we have
We have a new manufacturing partner for our backpack products
And I don't know if they're going to be able to source exactly the same
apple leather material there's Definitely some there's definitely some differences in terms of how we had to optimize the construction for the thicker materials
So they wouldn't have that knowledge. We'd be basically doing product development on it again
Which what to sell another couple hundred units. I
I don't know if it's going to make sense and besides I'm sure all the people who actually bought it because you know
They were like, hey, this is the thing that I like. Maybe you make a luxe commuter bag
I can set it back. I was getting it out of the water
Thank you And besides I'm sure the people that did buy it are gonna like knowing how exclusive it is
Like it's not numbered or anything, but it's it's pretty darn exclusive
What the heck you guys What did you even do?
Brutal I didn't even move it. It's not like the electronics were in the water
I didn't know how what it was Yvonne's Yvonne's always like that like water will get like near something. She's like, oh, this is the electronic
I'm like, yeah, it's a plastic housing. It's okay. Yeah, she's like, but I'm like, I'm fine. I don't trust all the cables that much
This is true. This is fair Um
We've had these for a long time. We've been through some stuff. All right top gear. All right top gear
Uh, I will I will ask the team if it's a thing we can do. Okay
I'll ask Oh top gear. No
What He just looks so sad. I know he looks so sad
He's like god like like Tears streaming down his face crying emoji like jeez. Okay
Like I don't know man It's it's kind of a funny thing because the number of people that are upset that the flannel shirts are gone
The plaid flannels are gone. I'm like Dude, they were like they were rotting in our inventory. We had to blow them away
If you guys like stuff buy it If you don't like it then don't complain that it's gone
I do think that sometimes we have a really funny way of handling seasons
Oh, dude, we don't do them because when stuff's done, it's done. The season and it's in the store season for
Flannel showed up and now we don't have flannels
100% 100% man. Nope. Yep. Uh, not even lying not even like
All right, well hey the show
Thanks for uh, thanks for watching. We'll see you again next week same bad time same bad channel
Bye
I was so ready for that
Ready for what Came in so fast after I said
I'm getting efficient Said they're waiting waiting to jump
