1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,680
I find sickness gets, you know, better throughout the day and this one is no different.

2
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,760
Ah, a touch screen. Hmm, why?

3
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,280
Because the screen's just automatically grossed.

4
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:26,320
Dude, this laptop, the brightness adjustment doesn't work when it's plugged in.

5
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:32,200
So annoying. So I was on the plane and like the lights were off and I wanted to play video games.

6
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,320
So I had to be plugged in and it's just like the power of the sun.

7
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,840
That's stupid. Oh, yeah.

8
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,640
Where should I put custom topics? Where are we doing that these days?

9
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,360
I would just put it.

10
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,800
Oh, there's down here. Just put it wherever you want.

11
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:54,360
Who cares?

12
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,040
Um, where are you putting it? Oh, yeah.

13
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:06,880
Wait, what happened to, what happened to my, uh, that was a topic.

14
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,120
Where is it? What was the topic?

15
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,280
The Luke took an art class. Oh, it's at the bottom, right above sponsors.

16
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,840
Oh, wait, is that not the one that you just put in? I didn't just put that in.

17
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:22,760
I was editing it. Oh, where did you, oh, did, so did you not just enter a topic?

18
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:29,400
No, I'm just editing. Bullet points to that one. Oh, how did I miss the Texas age verification law?

19
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:34,320
Um, oh, that might have actually been a better headline topic.

20
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:40,680
Really? Yeah. Cause we could have been like American politicians are stupid.

21
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,680
Not specifically like any one side of the aisle. We're not calling anybody out.

22
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,520
I think you're supposed to stand out against other titles and thumbnails

23
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:56,920
in order to get your head on the ground. Okay. So where did you put like random topics then I just added them as, as

24
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,320
bullet points to the art class one. What? Oh my God.

25
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,000
Okay. Um, I can, I can make them their own thing if you want.

26
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,880
Um, okay. Let's, are we, are we pre-streaming?

27
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,600
Yes. Oh, this whole time? Yes. Sick. Uh, well that's lucky.

28
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,040
Gamers. That could have gone way worse. We didn't say bad things.

29
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,600
Yeah. Yeah. I could have admitted to all kinds of things.

30
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,280
Yeah. Yeah.

31
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:49,640
You trying to think of an example? No, no, no. What I was actually thinking about was, you know,

32
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:54,280
no, no, no, what I was actually thinking about was just like one of the

33
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,400
things that I was going to talk to you about on the pre-show just

34
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,000
because it's really funny. I have no idea if it's true or not.

35
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,520
Kind of like, you know, the whole JD Vance like f***ing a couch thing.

36
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,880
Like it's not true. That was like, that was some peak internet.

37
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:17,400
But it was really funny. So the new one is that apparently Stephen Miller and his wife and

38
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,440
Elon Musk have some kind of like.

39
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,760
Oh boy. Energy going on. One of them's got to have a function of penis.

40
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:25,240
So I just,

41
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:36,680
okay, I'll bite. Which one? So the rumor is that Elon got penis enlargement surgery.

42
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,200
Yes. No, I know about that. Went poorly and doesn't work anymore.

43
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,640
Yeah. So, you know.

44
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,480
Dude. Okay. Okay.

45
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,440
Crazy question. This is going to be, oh man, this is going to be one heck of a WAN Show

46
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,600
or we're just going to just keep it right on the rails. It's going to go one of two ways today.

47
00:03:58,280 --> 00:03:59,160
Okay. Hear me out.

48
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:10,280
Okay. You don't get to factor in your current financial situation.

49
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,040
Okay. You have to be in a like median financial situation.

50
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:19,800
So your household income I think is like 75 or 80,000 Canadian dollars or something like that

51
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,080
per year. That's median household. I believe so. 75.

52
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,440
Let me check. Let me check. Let me check. Let me check.

53
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,960
Median household income, 90,000 sorry. Okay. Before taxes.

54
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,920
Yeah. Okay. So, you don't get to be you.

55
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,440
You're a median household. Okay. Okay.

56
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:48,440
Would you trade your financial situation with Elon's if you had to also trade your penis?

57
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,160
Chat is divided on this one. Wow.

58
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:15,560
Oh, man.

59
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:22,440
Okay. So, I'm having trouble even thinking of the answer because I really want to like ask this as a poll.

60
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:30,120
But I'm wondering if we, I'm wondering if we do this just like fully live or is this just pre-show?

61
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,240
This is just pre-show. Okay. Yeah. There's no way this could be in the real show.

62
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,440
We should ask this as a poll. Okay.

63
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,800
Cool. But you have to answer first. You can't just look at the poll.

64
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,160
No, that's cheating.

65
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:48,360
I was just talking to him. Yes or no. Trade your finances and penis with Elon.

66
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:56,280
And if you're a lady, if you're a lady in the chat, then it would be your SO's penis.

67
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:02,200
Oh, that's a pretty good one too. Oh, I'll give that poll two minutes, which is probably a bit too long for Elon.

68
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:07,640
And if your SO doesn't have a penis, then whatever the equivalent value of a penis would be.

69
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,160
You know. Just closes. I guess.

70
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,200
Oh, I pictured that way too vividly. Yeah, it's probably better not to.

71
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,200
Oh, man. Oh, Jesus.

72
00:06:32,280 --> 00:06:36,520
No more camel toe. I feel like it's like money or happiness.

73
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:40,120
So.

74
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,200
I mean, you could have money and happiness.

75
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,440
Well, actually, I don't know if it's half that he has left.

76
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,840
Happiness. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know.

77
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,080
I don't know the full extent, but I feel like that's part of the risk.

78
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,720
Yeah, you don't know. No, you have no idea. Yeah. Yeah, it might even not be true.

79
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,400
I mean, it is something we saw on the Internet. It's not like he's ever done a sex tape that we know of.

80
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,960
So. Yeah. Yeah.

81
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:25,800
And it's his final financial situation today. Not like what it'll be when people eventually figure out that Tesla is not selling cars anymore.

82
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,880
And also self-driving is not going to work. Yeah, I understand.

83
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,120
Yeah. Oh, man.

84
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,200
This is genuinely a really tough question. Because I'm still stalling.

85
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:43,240
Well, I'm mulling on the longer you go, the worse it gets.

86
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,680
So how tormented, is this why he's insane now?

87
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,240
I never really thought about that until literally right now. I think it's the ketamine.

88
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,720
Yeah. But then if you couldn't come, then would you need ketamine for your hive?

89
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:09,720
So maybe it's a chicken and egg problem. Because I'm worried like, okay, so I could, I could, I feel like I could do a lot of good things

90
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,760
with that money. But do I just go insane? You can also do a lot of good things with that penis.

91
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,320
Yeah. You know, just, I'm just saying. Yeah.

92
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,840
There's a lot of people that need chicken and penises.

93
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,160
Well, one person, there's one person. Yeah, one particular person.

94
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,840
But she needs it a lot. Yeah. I mean, wait, okay, you know, I don't, you know what?

95
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:35,000
I don't want to speculate. Hi. I know you're probably not watching this.

96
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,200
So it's probably fine. I don't think she watches pre-show.

97
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:38,520
No.

98
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:46,200
Yeah. Sometimes she puts the show itself on for the birds, but she's never home early enough for a pre-show.

99
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,560
Perfect. Call Anna. Hmm.

100
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:52,680
What's a good call? I do have her number. Yeah.

101
00:08:52,680 --> 00:08:55,720
All right. No, what? No, you can't do that.

102
00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:01,720
You have, no, you have to answer the question. You didn't ask her. Oh, man.

103
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,760
Why is this so hard or not? What?

104
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,600
The cash or the other thing? Yeah. Or not in this case.

105
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,480
Is there any limits on what I can do with the money?

106
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,680
And do I get his companies? Because it's financial situation. You get his financial situation.

107
00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:22,840
A lot of his money is stocks. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. You get his financial situation.

108
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:29,400
In that case, yeah, you do have to deal with the fact that at least one of his companies, once people figure out

109
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:36,920
that this is a meme stock is going to do something. So the last three SpaceX launches blew up and Tesla's going down the hole.

110
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,200
Yeah. A thing that I own is X. SpaceX?

111
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,480
I don't even know. Do we know what percentage of SpaceX he owns?

112
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,480
I'm not actually sure. A higher percentage than, a lot higher percentage than Tesla.

113
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:53,480
Yeah. Because SpaceX is not a publicly traded company. So I'm pretty sure he still owns a very significant chunk of that one.

114
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,560
Yeah. Estimated 42%.

115
00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:05,880
Yeah. But has 79% voting control. Yeah. So SpaceX is very much the Elon show.

116
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:14,520
Tesla, it's been so interesting watching the Tesla stock situation.

117
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,360
It's like sales are good. Tesla stock go up. Sales are terrible. Tesla stock go up.

118
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:19,000
It's like, okay.

119
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:29,240
I guess. Because like, I am very, very capable of enjoying a non luxurious life.

120
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,400
But can you enjoy a celibate life? Yeah. I don't know.

121
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:41,480
Okay. So you're going to have to start the show eventually. The financial difficulty or the difficulty with the question that I'm having is,

122
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:47,400
is it worth it to me to do as much good for the world as I could with all of his money?

123
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:54,600
Hmm. But be mind numbingly frustrated for the whole rest of my life.

124
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,960
Well, I think they have like apparatuses that you can use to like,

125
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:07,640
you know, stimulate even if it doesn't like work too good for like relations.

126
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,120
Oh, yeah. Yeah. I don't think you have to be like completely.

127
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,240
Yeah. But not for me. Yeah.

128
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,960
So, I think I would do it.

129
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,360
You would do it. Really? I think so.

130
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,520
90k a year. I mean, that's not that bad, right?

131
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:32,440
But then if you're median, you don't like, you don't just get your 90k.

132
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:37,480
No. Like you have to pay your mortgage forever. Yeah. Basically, especially living here.

133
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,840
I mean, you'd have to pay. Yeah, you're wage-slaved for the rest of your life.

134
00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:49,000
And then looking at like how the Canadian economy is going, plus the aging population, all that kind of stuff, like you're hyper wage-slaved forever,

135
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,480
which is normal life for basically everyone.

136
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,080
So, that's fine. Like that's not even really a problem.

137
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,720
That's okay. I'd like to point out that our median income at Linus Media Group is substantially higher

138
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,840
than that household median income, assuming two earners. Yeah.

139
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,560
Oh, yeah. Just big time. Just pointing that out.

140
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:19,640
I don't think Luge should do it. What I'm kind of weighing it on is like a self-sacrifice, basically.

141
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:25,800
Can I do this, gain the hundreds of billions, and effectively use the hundreds of billions for good things?

142
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,440
Get rid of S. Would that ever really satisfy you though?

143
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,920
Get rid of everything except for SpaceX. Keep doing SpaceX.

144
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,880
But try to use SpaceX in a slightly different way,

145
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,640
where I'm not using it to like aggressively try to shut down NASA. Okay. New question.

146
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:49,080
Would you be willing to make that call? And it's not a known factor that it doesn't work.

147
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,040
That's true. It's a rumor. Yeah. I mean, it's a funny rumor.

148
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:58,280
It's a very funny rumor. Okay. Okay. I'm going to throw another curveball at you.

149
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,320
You're in a locked room with no cell communication.

150
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:06,520
You have to make the decision before you walk out. Would you make that decision without consulting Emma?

151
00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:16,760
Because you're also making a decision for her in that case.

152
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,360
I mean, I don't know what you guys are into. Maybe she'd still get laid all the time.

153
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,960
I'm just saying. I'm just saying. I mean, you could be a Stephen Miller character.

154
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,400
A Stephen Miller character. Well, that's the rumor. Oh, right. Is that he like allowed it or something?

155
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,600
There's a shared thing going on or something like that. Yeah. That's not going to happen.

156
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,680
Yeah. I figured. Yeah.

157
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,080
Sorry. So you're making that decision for both of you now? Yes.

158
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,400
There are other ways. That's true. That's true.

159
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,600
Plenty of them actually. Actually, that's that's true. Okay. Okay.

160
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,000
All right. Fair enough. Fair enough. Okay.

161
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,480
So would you be willing to make that decision without checking

162
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,960
if you had to for the billions and billions and billions of dollars?

163
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,000
Like literally remember that whole thing back and forth with him

164
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,600
where someone where he was like, I could end world hunger for this amount and people were like,

165
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,840
so do it then. And then you just didn't and never acknowledged it again.

166
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,280
I think I also don't think you could. I was able. Yeah.

167
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:20,680
I mean, that was obviously stupid. Ending world hunger is complicated because it's corruption,

168
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,120
not a lack of food. Yes. Big time.

169
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,840
So here's a question. What could you actually do with those billions of dollars?

170
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,040
That's what I've been hanging up on so hard. Because I honestly don't.

171
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:39,240
I'm trying to figure that out. I don't think that. There's so deep corruption in everything.

172
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:45,640
And getting anything actually done, like as someone who has a company and has a fair amount of resources,

173
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,120
I'm not limited at this point by like money.

174
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,440
And I have way less money than Elon.

175
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:57,320
I just want to say. I'm limited by like what I can actually directly manage.

176
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:02,040
I just want to say chewy LMG community in chat said, buy a five guys combo meal.

177
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:06,440
I haven't been there in many years. That place is so expensive.

178
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,240
Oh yeah. Holy crap. It's crazy.

179
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,640
Yeah. I don't know. I'm trying to assassins a lot of them.

180
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,040
I can't go. Hey, Luigi.

181
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,760
How you doing? Dude, get Luigi out of jail. Oh, okay.

182
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:23,400
Step one.

183
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:35,320
Oh boy. Oh, okay. This I don't did. Dan, can we just not archive this wham show pre-show?

184
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,120
That might be better. Yeah, we could have another transcode failure.

185
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,840
Yeah. I think I'm so sorry. I think the transcode failure might be prudent.

186
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,520
You could buy a Trump pardon for two mil. I think that's about what it costs, right?

187
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:56,120
Yeah. Didn't you just do a bunch more? Yeah, I think so. Some gang leader guys, some other stuff.

188
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,400
So cool. Yeah, I don't know.

189
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,880
There's easy stuff, but it's not impactful enough to make this worth it.

190
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,200
Actually changing the world is super hard. Really tough.

191
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,040
You could work on extensive desalination plants.

192
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:18,280
You could forcibly get us to start doing nuclear.

193
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,920
You could yell at the Europeans and get them to stop being dumb about nuclear.

194
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,800
Yeah, but you can yell at them, but that doesn't mean they'll listen.

195
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,120
Yeah. I think there's a decent amount of countries

196
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,240
where energy companies are private, so you might just be able to do it yourself anyways.

197
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,080
There's still regulation on it, though.

198
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,920
Maybe you can just buy all the politicians.

199
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,920
I guess so, but that's a lot of work. He did it. That's a lot of work, though.

200
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:53,160
It's not the money. It's the like, do you have the time and energy

201
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:58,440
to change the world with no penis? I feel like with no penis, yes.

202
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:07,560
With penis, maybe not. You know, maybe I need both.

203
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:12,200
Okay, so you're advocating for unix, essentially,

204
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,040
so that the world can be a better place.

205
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,240
Matt, imagine. How are you guys calling this a base take?

206
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:27,640
Not that, unix.

207
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,240
I think it's really funny that there's probably

208
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,240
a significant portion of chat that doesn't know what you're even talking about,

209
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,520
and thinks you're talking about unix, for sure, because there is no other word like that.

210
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,600
Will to live, post-removal. That's, this is my whole problem.

211
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:54,120
I don't know if I make it.

212
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,560
All right, we should probably get the show started. Yeah.

213
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,600
I could buy the insects domain. That is true. Yeah, you could buy that for a lot less, though.

214
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,640
It's not worth that much. It might save the world, though.

215
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,640
Okay, all right, let's do this thing. I'm going to resume the selected. This was stupid.

216
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,160
Sorry, I asked. What's your answer?

217
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:27,400
Did we poll chat? Trying to think. I, oh, I didn't see it.

218
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,800
Dude, I don't think I could do it.

219
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:40,040
I think it's, yeah, I think, yeah. What if you could make Neuralink,

220
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,360
make it so that you could feel all of the effects?

221
00:18:44,360 --> 00:18:46,920
47% said yes, 53% said no.

222
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,280
Yeah, I don't think I could do it. 400 votes.

223
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,400
I would want more time to think on it, and I would want to come up with a plan

224
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,920
of what I could actually do to make positive impact.

225
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,000
Because if you self-sacrifice and then just sit there and go,

226
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,240
yeah, like, what's the point? Yeah. So there would need to be a plan.

227
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:13,560
If there's a good enough plan, then I could, I think I could tank it, but I don't think I could do it.

228
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,880
I would need a plan. You could buy Chrome and turn it into Firefox.

229
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,080
See, that's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about.

230
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,960
That's a plan. All right, let's fix the world.

231
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:36,840
I am resuming the selected.

232
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,520
Oh, what's up, everyone? And welcome to the WAN Show.

233
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:48,680
We got a great show lined up for you guys this week, Microsoft.

234
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,760
It has been found that Windows might not be great

235
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,840
for handheld gaming, also some other stuff going on with them.

236
00:19:58,840 --> 00:19:59,640
Here's another one.

237
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,960
In Texas, there's an age verification law

238
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:12,440
that will require companies like Apple and Google to verify the ages of users in order for them to use their app store.

239
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,680
Wow, super cool idea in theory. How's this going to work in practice?

240
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,760
We have no idea. What else we got this week?

241
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,920
Uh, tariffs, because why not?

242
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:30,520
Also, we're going to talk about some off-topic stuff. I went to China and it was genuinely very interesting.

243
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,440
Sorry, you went in there? And kind of terrifying, but not for the reasons you would think.

244
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,040
China. I never heard of it. Oh. Oh, you mean China?

245
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:40,600
China.

246
00:20:49,320 --> 00:21:04,360
The show is brought to you today by C-Sonic Proton.

247
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,400
Is that Enable or Enable? I'm pretty sure it's Enable.

248
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:15,800
Enable. Oh, that makes way more sense. Cool. And of course, by our laptop partner, Dell, our wrap partner, Dbrand,

249
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:23,080
and our chair partner, Secret Lab. All right. Why don't we jump right into kind of part of our headline topic.

250
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:28,040
Microsoft has just been stepping in doo-doo on the Windows side of things,

251
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:34,280
pretty much left and right lately. They've, they had their whole fiasco with Recall last year.

252
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,400
Which they've just kept. Windows.

253
00:21:38,360 --> 00:21:42,200
We've got a video coming soon comparing original Recall and new Recall,

254
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,280
and it is better, but is still deeply.

255
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,720
It's still Recall. Deeply problematic. Nice.

256
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,800
Windows has just felt like such a bloated mess lately, dude.

257
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,640
I had to go through the initial setup wizard recently, and it's just like,

258
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,240
can I just use my computer?

259
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:08,680
Can you just, you don't need to know if I need it for entertainment or media or game.

260
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,680
I mean, all of it, just move. Windows device setup is horrible.

261
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,880
Get out of the way. It's actually terrible. None of this matters.

262
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:21,400
I remember like, I don't know, late 2000s, new device setup.

263
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:26,520
Honestly, MacBook or Windows was like kind of a cool experience, and now it just sucks.

264
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:31,720
I don't know about MacBook. I haven't done it in a long time, but the Windows laptop setup is terrible.

265
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:38,120
And then meanwhile, Dave2D compared two identical Legion Go S's,

266
00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:41,160
one with Windows 11 and the other with SteamOS.

267
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:49,560
The SteamOS version outperformed its Windows counterpart by, I gotta say, a shocking amount.

268
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:57,960
Like, I remember, remember not that long ago when Windows consistently was faster than Linux

269
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,160
for gaming? Yeah, yeah. That is no longer the case.

270
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,920
Spider-Man 2 out of Cyberpunk, you guys are gonna have to go check out the video if you

271
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,560
want the exact numbers, because it's Dave2D's numbers.

272
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:13,880
But out of Cyberpunk, HellDivers 2, Doom Eternal, Spider-Man 2, and Witcher 3,

273
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:20,840
only one of them was a win for Windows 11 compared to SteamOS and just barely.

274
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:27,000
Like, I am talking by like, run-to-run variants, one frame per second difference.

275
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,960
And this is in spite of the fact that we're dealing with the proton compatibility layer.

276
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:37,560
Like, that is mind-blowing. That's how far Linux drivers have come.

277
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:42,040
And that's how much less overhead SteamOS offers compared to Windows.

278
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:47,400
Not to mention that on the SteamOS version of the Legion Go S, you're not paying for Windows.

279
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,240
So it's over $100 cheaper at retail according to his video.

280
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:59,160
We also saw a similar performance delta in a video from Random Gaming HD's video comparing

281
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:07,080
an identical system running both Windows 10 and SteamOS. In this case, it was a desktop system with a 1200F processor, 16GB of RAM,

282
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:11,960
6500XT GPU, and a 256GB NVMe SSD.

283
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:16,840
SteamOS once again won, this time in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Blacksmith Wukong,

284
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:25,000
and Forza Horizon 4. CS2 was a win for Windows, but I mean, SteamOS got over 150 FPS, so it's not like,

285
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,440
it's really an issue anyway.

286
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:37,560
Meanwhile, in other Windows gaming news, Microsoft is apparently temporarily sidelining their rumored Xbox handheld gaming device

287
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:43,400
to focus on optimizing the Windows 11 gaming experience, especially for mobile devices.

288
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:49,080
Good luck with that. Their cloud gaming device and ROG Ally 2 collab seem to be unaffected.

289
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:55,240
This is, I don't know, good news?

290
00:24:55,800 --> 00:25:00,280
I don't know what it is, because on the one hand, it's not like Microsoft clearly

291
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:05,240
is incapable of building a streamlined, low overhead operating system for gaming.

292
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,760
Literally, that's what runs on the Xbox.

293
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:17,800
But whether Windows has just gotten too bloated, or whether they've been unfocused,

294
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:23,480
or whether their partners are not delivering on the driver quality that they need,

295
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:31,800
and their, yeah, probably not that as much, it's clear that Windows gaming has got,

296
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,920
like, they just, they can't figure it out, can they?

297
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,520
Yeah, my lack of enthusiasm for this, I think, is based around, like,

298
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,120
practically every time that they've tried to touch it, they've just either done nothing,

299
00:25:42,120 --> 00:25:45,800
or made it worse, as far as my understanding goes. They've done some cool stuff.

300
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:51,960
I mean, remember, back when- Gaming mode was worse, if you remember. I'm not talking about gaming mode, but remember, Vista had that, like-

301
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,320
Dude, okay, when's the launch date of Vista, bro?

302
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,240
I'm just saying, I'm just saying.

303
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,400
January 30th, 2007!

304
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,240
Okay, in Vista- It's been almost 20 years.

305
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:13,640
In Vista, there was a My Games folder that consolidated the location of all your game,

306
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,240
like, config files, and save files and everything. I remember that.

307
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:21,800
This was back before Cloud Save was just a thing you could take for granted in every game.

308
00:26:22,360 --> 00:26:27,080
And it was super useful, because when you reformatted or whatever,

309
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:31,400
you could just grab that folder, make sure you back it up, and dump it into that folder again

310
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:36,920
on the new system, except for the games that didn't put their stuff in there. Those ones you had to go hunting for, so it still kind of sucked.

311
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:42,760
But yeah, Microsoft just can't- I mean, games for Windows Live seemed well-intentioned.

312
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,520
What happened to that folder? But was horrible. Yeah, the folder went away. Games for Windows Live went away.

313
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:51,400
That one we're happy about. We're stoked on that one. Yeah, we're pretty stoked. Except it didn't fully go away, did it?

314
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:57,560
I mean, mostly. Yeah, the ways that it was bad back then are gone,

315
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,560
but they still have their, like, Microsoft login, which is horrible.

316
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:06,120
Oh, dude. You were talking the other day about how it just, like, it makes you re-log in or something.

317
00:27:06,120 --> 00:27:11,960
So, no, what happens is, and I don't know if it's specific to Minecraft Dungeons or something,

318
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,480
but because we would often go months between playing it,

319
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,240
my kids and I, like, played Minecraft Dungeons for a bit. It's a Diablo clone.

320
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,880
It's Minecraft skinned anyway. It's kind of fun.

321
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,760
So we'd go sometimes months between playing.

322
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,360
So I would have to log in four accounts.

323
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,400
And for some reason, mine was bugged so that if, and of course,

324
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:37,000
your password manager doesn't work properly with, like, a pop-up inside a game.

325
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:41,480
So sometimes the game would get bugged, so the prompt, like, wouldn't show up in the pop-up,

326
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:47,000
and you'd have to, like, go delete some config file to get it to show up. And then when it would show up, for some reason,

327
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:52,360
something to do with my account, whether it's because it's, like, an LMG account,

328
00:27:52,360 --> 00:27:55,800
or whether it's because it's, like, a parent account or something.

329
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,720
I don't know. But if I typo my password, that's it.

330
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,720
I have to reset my password. There's no, like, go back and try again.

331
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,800
Nothing. It immediately goes, you need to reset your password.

332
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,480
Yeah. If I enter it wrong one time.

333
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:17,080
I enter your passwords wrong all the time. Well, yeah, because my passwords are long and have special characters and stuff.

334
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:23,400
So I'm at the point now where when I enter my Microsoft password, I'm, like, finger peck to make sure that I get it right.

335
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,680
Because I don't mind changing my passwords once in a while.

336
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:31,880
It's a good security practice. What I don't like is changing my passwords all the time,

337
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:37,400
especially when they're ones that I use every day. And I do kind of try to memorize because it's more convenient than,

338
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:42,760
you know, unlocking my phone and then open the app, and then authenticate the app, and then navigate.

339
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,240
Ah, I hate password managers.

340
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:53,320
So where were we going with this? Right. Yeah. Gaming on Windows is an absolute dumpster fire.

341
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,840
Dude, the fact that the fact that it takes like 10 minutes

342
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:05,640
to go from from like first opening the game to actually driving a car in Forza is.

343
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:10,040
I was just going to bring up. I was just going to bring up Forza because I actually really,

344
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:16,040
really liked Horizon 5. And it's the first racing game in a very long time that I was like,

345
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:22,360
I want my friends to come play this with me. I convinced one person to buy the game and play with me.

346
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,120
I am very lucky that they had a great time with the game single player

347
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,680
because playing with a multiplayer just didn't work.

348
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:36,120
And I just stopped recommending the game to all my friends because I was like, we can't play together anyways.

349
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,800
So they'll either find it themselves or whatever, I guess.

350
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:44,120
And it was purely because of like Microsoft's junk,

351
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:45,560
matchmaking and login stuff.

352
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:51,000
You try to play Halo. You launch on a steamer, everything's fine.

353
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,920
Everything's fine. Everything's fine. You're just like, plump, login. Well, cool.

354
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,520
Invite people to party. Maybe they don't show up. Things don't work like a huge percentage of the time.

355
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,320
Or they are working, but like you can't see the avatar. You can't see it.

356
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:07,000
And we all know that seeing the avatar is the whole point anyway, so they can sell more skins.

357
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,960
So get it right, Microsoft. How does that part not work?

358
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:16,280
I don't know. To be clear, I'm rooting for Microsoft to fix this.

359
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:23,640
I'm super into it. Competition is good. I don't want a SteamOS monopoly in gaming

360
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,080
any more than I want a Windows monopoly in gaming.

361
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:32,920
That's not healthy either. I want this fixed, especially because there's always

362
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:37,880
going to be edge cases that, you know, proton compatibility layer can't fix.

363
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:42,840
You know, older games or whatever the case may be. Like, I want Windows to be a robust gaming platform.

364
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:47,640
I just, I'm starting to lose hope. And this is interesting.

365
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,720
The battery life testing was fascinating.

366
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,840
Dave's video is called, Windows was the problem all along.

367
00:30:55,480 --> 00:31:01,400
And the full load tests are not that interesting.

368
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:07,800
You know, the battery life, when you're really running everything full tilt, relatively similar.

369
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:12,760
I mean, not the same, you know. Not the same at all, but relatively,

370
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,720
at least within the same sort of. Windows still loses. Area.

371
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:22,600
But when you're running like lower, less demanding,

372
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,600
like like side scroller type games,

373
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:31,960
SteamOS absolutely steam rolls Windows.

374
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,560
Like to a degree that I wouldn't have thought was possible.

375
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:42,520
We'll get more into it when we get to that outro section. But I was playing Final Fantasy 6 on my laptop on the plane.

376
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:47,320
And I was very lucky that it had a like full fat power plug on the plane.

377
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:53,080
Because it was not going to last me very long. And I'm playing Final Fantasy 6, dude.

378
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:57,560
Like, come on. Windows battery life is so bad.

379
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:02,200
Like you could, you could run that game on a watch easily these days.

380
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:08,600
Come on. Oh, man, I had my I had my own issues traveling and gaming on Windows.

381
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:14,600
I'm finally, okay, this should give you some idea of how deep my game backlog is.

382
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,680
I'm I finally picked up Psychonauts 2.

383
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:22,520
Oh, yeah, that's been a bit. Yeah, it's been a bit. Anyway, the point is I bought it back when it came out.

384
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:29,560
So, man, what's what's Schaefer's company called again?

385
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:35,880
Whatever. I don't know his developer. So they got my money, you know, so I supported the game.

386
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:41,080
I loved Psychonauts 1. It was awesome. Anyway, so I'm finally I finally picked it up.

387
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,520
And my laptop was running at great.

388
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:49,160
This thing has I think like a 4070 or something like that in it.

389
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:53,800
Like pretty powerful GPU, you know, considering the thinness and the flexible form factor.

390
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,320
So I've got it all like set up in front of me and like tent mode.

391
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:04,680
And I decided and I regret this, but I decided when I was holding my my ally

392
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:09,160
and my laptop and a controller, I was like, I have to bring my laptop anyway.

393
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,960
So why don't I just game on my laptop? Yeah, yeah, why bother?

394
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:19,160
They both support my external GPU thing with the 4080 or 4090 or whatever in it,

395
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:23,320
the XG mobile. So why wouldn't I just bring my laptop?

396
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:32,520
That ended up not working out great at all. So first of all, when I tried to use my XG mobile, I tripped the breaker on the airplane plug.

397
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:41,720
So I wasn't able to use my external GPU anyway, because I guess it draws too much power.

398
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:48,200
So that was irritating. My laptop's pretty low power. Yeah. But that's fine because I actually have a decent GPU on this thing anyway.

399
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:53,000
But then when I wanted to, so I was able to pair my controller, everything that was fine.

400
00:33:53,000 --> 00:34:01,320
But this is hilarious. I was on the plane's Wi-Fi and I guess we were flying China Air because we were going over to Taiwan.

401
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:06,760
And somehow the game, okay, I don't know how this happened.

402
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:17,080
Okay, I have no idea. But I am guessing that somehow the network that I was connected to picked up my time zone or location

403
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:22,360
or something and somehow the game picked that up and I was speeding through the initial setup menus

404
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,680
and I accidentally selected Chinese for the language of the game,

405
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:31,000
which normally wouldn't be that big of a deal. But seriously, Google this, I'm not imagining it.

406
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:37,880
Psychonauts 2 buries the language configuration in the accessibility menu.

407
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:43,640
Accessibility menu. Yeah, instead of just having it kind of obvious.

408
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:49,240
Usually it's pretty early. If you're fighting your way to try to change the bloody language.

409
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:53,000
And because my phone wasn't actually connected to the Internet,

410
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:58,280
I couldn't just use Lens to translate it unless I bought another stupid Wi-Fi flight pass.

411
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,880
Because they figured out, they figured out my trick.

412
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:08,280
So I had this hack that I used to use on airplanes to share one Wi-Fi access across all my devices.

413
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:15,480
Windows is actually super cool. Supports mobile hotspotting from Wi-Fi to Wi-Fi.

414
00:35:15,720 --> 00:35:24,040
So lots of other devices support being connected to a landline and then sharing and tethering over

415
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:28,280
Wi-Fi or being on 5G and tethering over Wi-Fi or whatever.

416
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:32,520
But Windows supports sharing a Wi-Fi connection.

417
00:35:33,720 --> 00:35:41,240
Oh, I'm going to get to that top gear. So anyway, somehow they've kind of figured that out, I guess,

418
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:45,720
and they've done something with the Wi-Fi connection on most of the flights that I've

419
00:35:45,720 --> 00:35:48,920
been on recently that makes Windows think you're not connected.

420
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:54,440
So the little globe in the corner is all like, nope, you're not connected. And then that grays out the mobile hotspot sharing thing.

421
00:35:54,440 --> 00:36:02,280
You can't force it even though your connection totally works. And I couldn't find, I looked up guides and I wasted most of, not most of,

422
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:08,040
but I wasted a bunch of my expensive flight pass Wi-Fi trying to figure out how to bypass

423
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:11,640
the blocks that they had on my expensive flight pass Wi-Fi.

424
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,360
If anyone knows how to fix that, I'd be super open to it.

425
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:21,160
Anyway, what did Top Gear say? Oh shoot, I lost the comment I was going to get to.

426
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,440
Oh yeah, Top Gear says, change the config file in Psyconauts. It doesn't work.

427
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:29,080
So they have a guide that I googled and found that if you want to change it to,

428
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:37,080
I think it's French or German or something like that. You go in the config file and you just put language that and then it will change to that language.

429
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:42,040
But it doesn't appear to work for English. Because I guess the assumption is just that it was already English

430
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,000
and you were trying to change it to, I don't know, but it didn't work.

431
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:49,480
So anyway, I eventually managed to change it.

432
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,600
And I was gaming and then the lights on the plane went out

433
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:56,680
because it was like night time, time to sleep. And I went to adjust the brightness of my screen.

434
00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:01,320
And for some reason, whether it's because I'm using a third party application,

435
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:05,880
now instead of Armory Crate on this thing, like it's, I forget what it's called,

436
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:10,920
but it's super cool. Basically, it takes all of the nightmare of Armory Crate

437
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:16,120
and boils it down to this tiny little interface here.

438
00:37:17,720 --> 00:37:20,280
Let me see if I can find it. Is this it? Nope.

439
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:25,560
Yeah, here it is. G helper. That's what it's called. So there it takes all of Armory Crate.

440
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:31,560
Uh, no, right now. Takes all of Armory Crate and makes it this, which is awesome.

441
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,760
And like Armory Crate with the XG Mobile, the external GPU,

442
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:40,200
will sometimes get bugged and you'll like plug it in, but it won't prompt you to activate it or like it's plugged in

443
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:47,000
and it won't prompt you to deactivate it. And like it's not safe to literally bricked a mobile GPU.

444
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,200
That remember when you tripped on it and it unplugged the mobile GPU?

445
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:54,440
If you unplug it expectedly, I think that one literally died because I never got it working again.

446
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:59,000
So it really matters. So anyway, this lets you just override it.

447
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:04,360
It just has a button and you'd be like XG Mobile and it always works.

448
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:09,240
So I don't know if it's because of this or because of something else, but I can't adjust my brightness when it's plugged in.

449
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:15,720
So in the dark of the plane, I have like the power of the sun

450
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:22,280
beaming into my eyes. And then if I wanted to try to game on battery, dude,

451
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,280
I'd have, I'd have gotten less than an hour for sure.

452
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:30,920
Like less than an hour out of this thing. If I was actually trying to play a full fat 3d game, maybe,

453
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,880
okay, maybe more than an hour, but like this is like a 10 hour flight.

454
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,080
So I was like, well, I have nothing but bad options.

455
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,080
I wish I just brought my stupid handheld.

456
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,080
I forget what we were supposed to be talking about.

457
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:48,040
I think we're just complaining about Windows. Oh yeah. So that, well, well, then I was doing great.

458
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:53,480
Good job Linus. I will also bundle in that complaining about Windows

459
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:57,480
means kind of complaining about the state of Windows laptops

460
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:06,040
because that's sort of what you're doing right now. And I will re-bring up the, what I now know is probably called the screen locking,

461
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,440
the screen locking problem that I had with my laptop.

462
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:14,920
Someone on the subreddit said it might be to do with your attention.

463
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:18,600
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, this. I haven't had a chance to actually do this

464
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:26,040
because this was uploaded like I was in the air by the time this was posted.

465
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:31,640
So I haven't had a chance to do it. But this makes so much sense that I just believe it's it.

466
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:36,920
Yeah. This is a thing where like if you look away from the laptop, it blanks the screen.

467
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:41,880
But here's my problem. Yeah. I just think it basically doesn't work at all.

468
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,360
That's my current stance on it because it can be daytime

469
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,120
and I'm staring right at it and it will just lock.

470
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:54,200
It can be nighttime and I have something covering the webcam

471
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,560
and it will work just fine for like an hour and then randomly lock.

472
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:01,960
It's a fine line, dude. Because as a company like Microsoft, right,

473
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,480
you have to give your partners room to differentiate their products.

474
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,520
Otherwise you end up, you might as well be Apple, right?

475
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:14,840
You end up with no innovation. You lose your your special. But you also have to just like keep the leash at a reasonable length

476
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:18,600
because they're just going to do this is so stupid.

477
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,560
And my biggest problem with this is it doesn't tell you at all.

478
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,480
Right. Like if, if, you know, I slept the computer woke it back up

479
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,760
so that I could actually use it again. And then there was like a little boom.

480
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:32,040
And in the corner, it was like, by the way, that was us.

481
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:35,560
But then you wouldn't want that to happen every time. I could turn this off if I want to.

482
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:39,480
I could also at that point in time say, don't never prompt me about this again.

483
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:44,760
But it would be really sick if it told me at least one time. Because again, I haven't had time to change this setting.

484
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:51,720
I pretty much guarantee you this is the actual problem. So like, no, I haven't tested it, but it makes so much sense that this would be it.

485
00:40:51,720 --> 00:40:56,920
Especially because I ran into the hardware connects guys while I was at Computex.

486
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,640
And one of them told me that they saw that bit on the show.

487
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:05,640
They have a very similar version of a Lenovo laptop and have the exact same problem.

488
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,760
Okay. So it's probably that then. Yes. Probably the screen lock.

489
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:12,280
So now I have to go around and like tell everyone that I know that has this laptop

490
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,560
and a bunch of people have reached out being like, yeah, I have the same stupid problem.

491
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:19,640
I thought about returning it. Blah, blah, blah, blah. It's like, Lenovo, do you understand?

492
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,200
Like everyone thinks you suck.

493
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:28,040
And it's just a software setting. Like people think your laptops suck and are broken.

494
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,560
And that's not even the case. Outside of that, I love that laptop.

495
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:38,200
The amount of product problems that are caused seemingly by just nobody at the company actually

496
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:42,520
using the product is mind blowing. It has to be the case here.

497
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:47,800
It's mind blowing. Or it's a problem where you have a overly informed expert.

498
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,280
Yeah. Yeah, or that. Where they know what this is.

499
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:54,280
So they just deal with it. Yvonne is doing an iPhone challenge right now.

500
00:41:54,280 --> 00:42:00,360
So she just switched over to iPhone and getting a WhatsApp backed up and migrated between

501
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:05,160
Android and iOS is like inexcusably broken.

502
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,680
The fact that that has, so she lost a bunch of message history.

503
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,720
I lost a bunch of message history even though I mostly know what I'm doing.

504
00:42:11,720 --> 00:42:17,720
Like it can say, it will say backed up to your, it'll tell you what Google account it's backed up to.

505
00:42:17,720 --> 00:42:21,320
And then you go to restore it and it's like missing a bunch of stuff because there's like

506
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:25,400
a specific way you have to do it when you're migrating between devices where you have to

507
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:31,480
scan the QR code. So I, well, I didn't really screw up because the QR code was there and I was trying to scan it.

508
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:35,480
But the camera was like blurry and there was no alternative.

509
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:39,880
You have to scan the QR code. There's no other way.

510
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:46,680
And then I wasn't able to do it. So I lost like four months of my message history because that part wasn't like backed up on that

511
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:51,240
phone yet or something. And it had to restore from one other thing and their backups are just broken.

512
00:42:51,240 --> 00:42:53,560
It's infuriating.

513
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,160
Kara, don't worry about my tennis elbow.

514
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:04,680
I am intentionally moving it. I'm not doing anything in weird positions.

515
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,400
I'm okay. And this is just like a massage thing. It's fine.

516
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:14,600
He's, he's I, yeah. That made me think of something else I want to bring up, but I'm not going to tangent us

517
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:18,280
at this time. So I just add the note for later. Hurts, but it's, it's, it's stronger.

518
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:25,000
All right. What are we supposed to be doing? More Windows complaining to do. No, I'm ready to, I'm ready to move on.

519
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:32,520
I'm ready to move on from Windows in general. If it wasn't for anti cheat and just like application compatibility lock in,

520
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:37,080
I don't see why I would use it anymore.

521
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:41,560
If I could get away from multiple games that I play only working on Windows.

522
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:48,120
I'm like genuinely right now. If I could get away from that, I would switch on my personal computer.

523
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:53,640
Maybe it's time for a Windows or excuse me, a Linux challenge again.

524
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:57,400
Another one. Maybe it's time I've been, I've been telling, I keep telling myself,

525
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:00,920
I'm going to wait for steam OS, you know, like the broad and it's coming.

526
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:05,720
Like they have an installer that is now validated for non valve handhelds.

527
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:11,080
And it does work on desktops as long as you've got a compatible desktop,

528
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:18,360
which I kind of, I kind of do actually. I think I have like a 79, does steam OS actually, 7950x offer anything uniquely?

529
00:44:19,240 --> 00:44:23,880
Does it, what, sorry? Does it offer anything uniquely? It offers being ready to go.

530
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:32,200
Which so you can still install like the, like there's no, there's no special sauce just for steam OS in relation to like proton or anything like that.

531
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:38,520
Not that I'm aware of. Nope. Yeah. No, you should be able to have the full steam OS experience on something else pretty much

532
00:44:39,240 --> 00:44:42,440
as long as you're willing to kind of configure it a little bit.

533
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,800
Yeah, I don't think it needs much. I feel like I want to do that. Yeah. And that's fine.

534
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,480
We use different distros last time. Yep. We totally did. Yeah.

535
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,520
I'm just, I was trying to evaluate for myself basically,

536
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,960
do I just want to use mint again? Cause like that's what I would want to do.

537
00:44:55,960 --> 00:45:00,520
Right. But then I want the best possible gaming setup. So like, can I still do that on mint?

538
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:08,440
You should be able to. Probably. Realistically, you have more software troubleshooting capabilities than I do.

539
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:14,840
So I would definitely lean toward the more set and forget ready to go Linux distro.

540
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:20,840
I'm also like, I don't know how this works, but even with like a six year gap between using mint,

541
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:25,800
it like immediately felt familiar again. So like, I kind of want to go back to that thing.

542
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:29,240
Yeah. Cause like, however way, whatever way they've done it,

543
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:36,120
mint just like feels really good to me. And it's nice about using a full desktop distro that's

544
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:39,720
intended for that use case is that you're not going to be limited by some of the

545
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:47,240
things that are not that way about SteamOS. Like SteamOS to my knowledge still doesn't have a baked in printer support.

546
00:45:47,240 --> 00:45:53,160
Yeah. Like I wonder if you're going to be running into like your, your aversion to wanting to set up things for gaming.

547
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:56,600
I wonder if it's going to set you up for failure in other ways.

548
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,960
Yep. Could very well be admittedly, I didn't spend a long time,

549
00:45:59,960 --> 00:46:05,480
but I probably burned about half an hour trying to like install printer support on SteamOS,

550
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:10,120
because we were trying to use an ancient printer, and we couldn't find a Windows driver that worked.

551
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:15,800
I was like, right, Linux. What's the closest Linux machine that I have?

552
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,920
A Steam Deck. I'll just plug it into a Steam Deck. Yeah.

553
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:23,640
And yeah, totally didn't work. Yeah. Someone in full plan chat said doing it on,

554
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:27,960
I don't know what they mean by it, but I'm assuming they mean like proton stuff.

555
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,440
Doing it on mint for the last three months, super easy so far.

556
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:35,320
Hell yeah. Mint got just way popular.

557
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:41,000
Somewhat recently, because PewDiePie did his Linux switched thing,

558
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:45,560
and he chose mint for whatever reason. The OG Influencer just casually influencing people.

559
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,920
Just incredibly doing a Linux switch. The system works.

560
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:52,360
I didn't see it coming, but... No, I mean, I know he's into tech,

561
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:57,240
like because he's referenced us like quite a few times over the years.

562
00:46:57,240 --> 00:47:01,560
I don't know, he's a funny character, because he's on the one hand like one of the most,

563
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:06,120
you know, recognizable internet personalities ever.

564
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:09,320
And then on the other hand, he seems to be like kind of a recluse.

565
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:13,320
Yeah. Like he apparently goes out of his way. I don't know this from him personally,

566
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:19,880
because of the thing I'm about to say, but he apparently goes out of his way to like not make new connections.

567
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:26,280
Which, you know, honestly, at this point, I kind of get it.

568
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:31,400
You get it. Yeah. Yeah. I know, I know he just likes Japan a lot,

569
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:35,720
but I know a significant part of the reason why he moved there was because he just doesn't really get recognized that often.

570
00:47:35,720 --> 00:47:38,680
Well, yeah. Because I think generally speaking,

571
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:43,240
they are not as obsessed with our cultural icons as we are with theirs.

572
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:48,120
Yeah. It's a little bit of putting it... There are, I don't remember what they're called, but there's like...

573
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:51,720
So the opposite of a weeb? Yeah. They're into cowboys. No way.

574
00:47:51,720 --> 00:47:55,960
Shut up. No, 100%. Do you know about this? I think so, yeah. This is totally a thing.

575
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,640
This is totally a thing. What's the opposite of a weeb?

576
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:06,200
The opposite of weeb, a derogatory term for someone with an extreme obsession with Japanese culture,

577
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:09,720
can be understood in a few ways. Oh, wait, a japanophobe?

578
00:48:09,720 --> 00:48:13,400
No, that's not what we're talking about. Westabu?

579
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:18,920
Is that it? Is that what it's called? Is that what it's called? It might be what it's called.

580
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,400
What's... This is from r slash what's the word.

581
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:23,720
What you're looking for is Westabu.

582
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:29,080
There's no... There's no way it's called Westabu.

583
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,080
It might be. No way.

584
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,400
Howdy. My name is Raheid Kobamashi. Howdy.

585
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:42,520
I'm a 27-year-old Japanese, Jap American, Western culture fan for you foreigners.

586
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,600
I brand and wrangle cattle on my ranch. There's no way. This is not real.

587
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:48,680
That has to be a copypasta. That has to be AI.

588
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:53,400
Yeah. My god. Westabu sounds legit.

589
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:57,080
Westabu it is. Okay. I think we should probably move on.

590
00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:00,920
I don't think we're doing... No, no, no. This is a thing I swear. I don't think we're going anywhere positive with this.

591
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,160
I swear it's a thing. Don't make me start doing announcements.

592
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:05,640
I found a video.

593
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:11,560
Cowboy Tanaka. Okay. Well, I don't want to...

594
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:16,760
Here. An anti-weeb of sorts.

595
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:23,160
Third cosplay is cowboys. Hell yeah, dude.

596
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:29,240
I can't tell who I think less of. No one.

597
00:49:29,240 --> 00:49:32,040
We don't judge anybody. Yeah. Dan.

598
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:37,080
Myself. How many of them are there?

599
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:37,880
There's so many.

600
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:49,400
Dude, he's going to regret that screw up for his end. Oh, wow. He's got one of those super old school scopes and everything.

601
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,440
Oh my goodness. Is this... Oh, now they're cosplaying getting shot. Oh, wow.

602
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,160
Yo, that guy totally sold it. This is kind of cool.

603
00:49:56,600 --> 00:50:00,600
I mean... It's got the chaps. Okay. Oh, that guy went for it.

604
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,640
Oh, I took it off the screen. I think that's enough of that. Yeah.

605
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:07,240
Well, there was that one time where I watched... What was it? Croquet?

606
00:50:07,240 --> 00:50:10,280
Competitive croquet on stream? Now I'm watching Cowboy Weaves.

607
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:14,440
Competitive western cosplay in Japan.

608
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:18,760
Okay. Why don't we explain merch messages? Sai Bugeki.

609
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:22,760
We don't really do super chats or Twitch bits. We do merch messages.

610
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:26,200
They are the way to throw money at your screen for streamers,

611
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,880
but also, hey, maybe like, I don't know, get something in return.

612
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:33,640
All you got to do is go to lttstore.com, add something to your cart,

613
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:38,120
and boom, you're going to see a little box that pops up and prompts you to leave a merch message.

614
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:41,480
It'll go to producer Dan, who will reply to it or forward it

615
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:46,840
or curate it for me and Luke. And there are some pretty cool things

616
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,240
that you could add to your cart this year.

617
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:54,840
Mystery items are back! Available for a limited time.

618
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:58,360
Mystery t-shirts, mystery hoodies, and mystery screwdrivers

619
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:01,560
are available for as little as what's that?

620
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:05,960
What the heck? $17.99 Canadian for a mystery shirt.

621
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:10,280
$49.99 Canadian? That's not even real money.

622
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:16,200
I mean, it's real money. $59.99 Canadian for a mystery screwdriver.

623
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:20,200
That's right, my friends. These are actually really low prices.

624
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,880
You're welcome, I guess. American costs. There you go.

625
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:28,040
Oh, you've got the USD. Yep. Very nice. And back to Linus's.

626
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:31,640
So yeah, $50 US for mystery screwdrivers.

627
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:36,360
Hold on, can we go back to... Yep. Yep. $40 US for mystery hoodies.

628
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:41,960
And I believe we actually specify what the ones could be.

629
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,800
Nope. No, we don't. Random. He takes it back.

630
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:48,360
We do on the screwdriver. Sure.

631
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:54,760
We recommend one purchase per customer. If you order more than one hoodie, you may get two or more with the same design.

632
00:51:54,760 --> 00:52:00,280
Yeah, okay, we apparently are not saying... I have a feeling we didn't for the t-shirt and in the sweater,

633
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:05,400
because there's probably a wider variety of them. The screwdriver, there's two, and they're both similar.

634
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:08,920
So I think we try to specify. I actually don't know if that's true.

635
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:13,560
One moment, please. I don't think the screwdriver one is correct,

636
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:17,560
because I believe all of at least one of the screwdriver,

637
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:22,120
the Noctua Colorways, is out of stock. Oh, what did... what just happened?

638
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:26,440
Did Nick just hang up on me? I mean, I wouldn't blame them.

639
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:30,280
Based. Feed me to it. That's not by like seconds.

640
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:34,440
That is not based. You're based. Oh, thanks.

641
00:52:35,240 --> 00:52:36,680
Hey, you're live on The Wancho.

642
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:41,080
Question for you, good sir.

643
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:47,080
Hello, are you there? Yeah, can you not hear me? Oh yeah, I can hear you now.

644
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:50,520
That's perfect. Wonderful. It's loud and clear. Question for you.

645
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:55,880
It says that the Mystery Screwdrivers are either Noctua Beige or Noctua Brown,

646
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:59,320
but I thought they were something else. I thought they were a thing we talked about today.

647
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:04,840
No, that's not for today. That's for down the line.

648
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:08,520
Oh, okay. Yeah, different thing, different thing.

649
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:12,600
Oh, okay. Do we actually have Noctua Beige and Noctua Brown?

650
00:53:13,720 --> 00:53:17,720
We have some kicking around. I don't think there's too many. So if people want to get a deal,

651
00:53:17,720 --> 00:53:21,960
they should probably jump on it. But yeah, we have a few left.

652
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:26,200
Okay, good chat. Thanks, Nick. Wait, hold on, hold on.

653
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:29,000
Do we know what? Hoodies are in the Mystery Bin?

654
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:33,320
Oh, it's a bunch.

655
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:37,320
I don't know. There's, again, there's not a super huge amount.

656
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:42,360
It's a bunch of, I would say, stuff from within the last two to two and a half years,

657
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:46,600
probably. So I can't give any more indication than that really.

658
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,960
It's a bunch of different stuff. Good chat. Thanks, Nick.

659
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:53,160
All right. Yep, bye. Bye. Okay, well, there you go, guys.

660
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:56,520
We literally don't even know what it is. Cool.

661
00:53:56,520 --> 00:54:00,120
Sick. All we know is that the price is right.

662
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:03,160
Sick. Dan, do you want to show them how merge messages work?

663
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:07,640
Yeah, sure. I got a couple here. Just got a promotion to Cybersecurity Analyst.

664
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:09,240
What's your best cybersecurity tip?

665
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:15,880
I would not ask Linus that. But don't use the set. What?

666
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:19,960
We were literally talking before the show about how.

667
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:27,240
I have cybersecurity tips. Yeah. Okay, well, one of my tips is that if your infrastructure team

668
00:54:27,240 --> 00:54:28,920
implements a login system.

669
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:35,080
Maybe they should tell people about it. Literally every time that you have to log into something,

670
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:39,240
you have to email them to send you an invite. But that is not very convenient.

671
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:43,880
It could be the right way to go if you're like securing Fort Knox or something.

672
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:48,120
Yeah, well, we aren't. Hey, man, those.

673
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:54,520
I love my infrastructure team, but I don't. I don't love having to email someone for an invite

674
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:58,920
to log into my stuff. What if we made 74 changes in two days?

675
00:54:59,720 --> 00:55:03,640
Oh, yeah. Here's another. Here's another cybersecurity tip.

676
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:06,440
What was that email? Did you get that email that I sent you?

677
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:12,520
You send me so many emails. I do not send you so many emails.

678
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:16,520
Go ahead. Check your inbox. How many emails have I sent you in the last week?

679
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:20,840
Now, I want you to guess first. How many emails in the last week? There's no way it's so many.

680
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:26,440
Five. Five? That's not so many emails. I preferred being correct on the number.

681
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:29,400
One email in the expression. It's more than five.

682
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:33,000
I don't know how many. Okay, fine. Let's see how many emails I've sent you in the last week.

683
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:36,680
I don't even send you that many emails this guy. No, it's so many emails.

684
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:41,800
Five emails. Working hard loop. Yeah, I have five emails to reply to.

685
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:44,520
There's so many. I was working very hard. There's so many.

686
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:49,480
You're going to be jet-legged, dude. I am jet-legged.

687
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:53,800
I know, that's why I said. And I'm sick. God, you're slow. I said, you've got to be jet-legged.

688
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:57,720
And you're like, I am. Well, let me have no problems.

689
00:55:57,720 --> 00:56:00,120
I thought you said you're going to be. And I was like, what do you mean?

690
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:04,040
I'm already here. Yeah, his ears don't work. She could when he's jet-legged.

691
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:11,480
Okay, one, two, three, four, five.

692
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:13,720
I don't send him that many emails. Oh my god, was I right?

693
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:17,560
Six, darn. Okay, so we can both be right.

694
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:21,720
Seven. You can be the closest without going over for how many it actually was.

695
00:56:21,720 --> 00:56:24,360
And I can be right that I don't send you that many emails.

696
00:56:25,240 --> 00:56:28,840
No, I mean, the one that I sent you with that, that one that was like full of hyperlinks

697
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:32,280
that was just all like, hey, here's things you might like.

698
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:35,720
Oh, okay, you haven't looked at this yet. You can look at it later. When did you send this to me?

699
00:56:35,720 --> 00:56:39,240
I don't know, like today, yesterday. Can we find out what's up with this? At some point?

700
00:56:39,240 --> 00:56:42,360
No, that's the other thing. It doesn't matter.

701
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:44,760
We don't actually have to have a meeting about it right now.

702
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:48,680
It's WAN Show. Okay, in that case, while he looks that up,

703
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:54,600
there is one quick clarification on the mystery deals. Oh, this thing, by the way, if it helps, that was Google.

704
00:56:55,240 --> 00:57:00,440
Oh, okay. I've had issues with my spam filter. I've been getting useful emails in my spam

705
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:05,320
from especially other creators, even ones that I've corresponded with before.

706
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:08,920
So like I have in the last six, in the last few months,

707
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:12,120
I've had emails from snazzy Labs go to my spam.

708
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:17,640
Oh, shoot. I'm not that popular. Not that many creators email me,

709
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:21,480
but there were at least a couple. There were at least a couple. So sorry, I wanted to clarify.

710
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:27,560
The mystery deals are for this weekend. So be sure to save at LMG.gg slash mystery.

711
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:30,120
Dan, do you want to go ahead and throw that in all the chats? Sure thing.

712
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:39,400
And do you want another one? Are you like reading that email right now?

713
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:41,320
Yes.

714
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:49,400
So here's something I would suggest. If you're rolling out some new feature,

715
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:55,080
maybe make sure that the email announcing the rollout does not look like you're testing if I'm like,

716
00:57:56,760 --> 00:58:00,280
if I'm falling for phishing scams. Like that looks like the most

717
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:04,280
scam nationist email that I have ever gotten,

718
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:09,320
including some of the bait emails during our like phishing internal tests.

719
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:10,760
Like, are you looking at this email?

720
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:17,880
It's from a domain I've never seen before, or not a domain,

721
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:23,080
it's from an address I've never seen before, contains hyperlinks like this long.

722
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:24,760
Many of them like, okay.

723
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:31,560
Yeah, that's good. This is an automated email. I don't know what it is.

724
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:38,920
It's one of those things where, you know what, like the team does so much stuff

725
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:43,480
and so much good. And I feel bad for them because when you work on,

726
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:48,680
okay, here's my advice. Here's my cybersecurity tip

727
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:53,160
that will be very applicable to your new job. Don't take it personal

728
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:56,440
when the only time anybody acknowledges you is when something goes wrong.

729
00:58:56,440 --> 00:59:01,720
Which is how infrastructure works. Which is how infrastructure and cybersecurity roles

730
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:05,320
basically just seem to work. They say shit rolls down a hill,

731
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:08,920
but that's not actually true. Shit rolls onto the infrastructure team.

732
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:14,760
And it sucks. And everyone else, if you catch us at a time

733
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:18,280
when we're calm, rational human beings

734
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:22,520
who are not wanting to put our fists through our computers,

735
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:25,960
we love you. We think you're cool.

736
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:31,160
In like a kind of D&D, you should probably shave your neck beard

737
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:33,560
and put on some deodorant kind of way, you know? Like we...

738
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:38,200
What? Oh, I'm gonna add the... Okay. Oh.

739
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:42,600
I need to talk about that, but I'm gonna add it to the later on topics.

740
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:46,040
No, no, no, no, no. Oh, okay. It's... I will talk about that. Oh, dude.

741
00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:49,240
Dude, my flight to Taiwan, the guy next to me,

742
00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:52,440
I swear to God, hadn't brushed his teeth in like the last six months.

743
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:56,600
Okay, we're gonna talk about it now. Go for it.

744
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:58,920
Finish yours off. Brush your fucking teeth.

745
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:07,640
If you don't care, if your whole mouth rots out or whatever,

746
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:11,000
like, you know what? Power to you. You don't need teeth.

747
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:15,720
That's fine. There's lots of things that you can do with no teeth. Freedom forever. In fact, there are things you can do better with no teeth.

748
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:23,000
Just saying. Dentures are based. But brush your fucking teeth

749
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,640
if you're gonna be within... Like, I kid you not.

750
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:30,360
Six feet. There were people... No, dude, back at NCIS,

751
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:33,400
there were people I worked with that I could smell their breath

752
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:37,240
from six fucking feet away. Like, it was disgusting.

753
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:42,120
Yeah. Nothing smells worse than rotted ass meat between teeth

754
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:45,400
while someone's talking to you. And if you're a close talker, I swear to God,

755
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:50,600
you brush your teeth multiple times a day. If you're gonna be a close talker,

756
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:54,120
you can get all in close talking to people. It's disgusting.

757
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:56,520
Okay, so my thing on this, I'll address it now.

758
01:00:57,160 --> 01:01:00,360
The flight back. So I'm flying back from Hong Kong.

759
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:04,680
Yeah. Um, there's this dude next to me.

760
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:07,880
And my thing is like, I try to sleep on planes because I can sleep on planes.

761
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:12,120
So I should exercise my ability to sleep on planes, especially when it's a 12-hour flight

762
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:14,360
and you're trying to flip time zones and all this kind of stuff. Yeah.

763
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:20,840
This is not the worst person I have ever smelled in any context,

764
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:23,960
but it's the worst person I've been stuck next to on a plane.

765
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:28,520
By an incredible amount to the point where I couldn't sleep

766
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:31,720
because he smelled so bad that it was like,

767
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:35,400
it like hurt. And it was his breath.

768
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:40,200
So I wouldn't smell it all the time. And then he'd like,

769
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:43,400
look at me or look my, I was, I was window seat.

770
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:49,000
Unfortunately, I usually like aisle because I can put my leg in the aisle, but he would look left out the window

771
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:53,080
or whatever. And it would just punch me in the face. And I would, I would like drift off

772
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:57,720
and be asleep for like a couple minutes. And then he would breathe in some way

773
01:01:57,720 --> 01:02:00,440
that I could smell it. And it would actively wake me up.

774
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:05,000
One of my solutions at one point was I fished my deodorant out of my bag

775
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:09,400
and I like scraped the top off of it and then rubbed just to,

776
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:13,480
so I'm not rubbing armpit on my face, rubbed deodorant into my mustache.

777
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:17,480
And then that worked for like half an hour. I would like just to mask the smell.

778
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:22,120
Yeah. That worked for like half an hour. That would be, oh, that would be its own flavor of terrible.

779
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:26,520
I ended up, but it was bad, but it was significantly better.

780
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:31,000
Okay. Than this guy's f***ing insane like death breath.

781
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:36,120
And what's up with planes not having the little fan knob anymore?

782
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:39,400
I had it. It wasn't enough. I didn't have it on mine. Oh man.

783
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:43,880
I had nothing, nothing. I tried, I tried the fan thing.

784
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:48,600
I tried so much stuff. It was, it was, I didn't have any gum.

785
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:52,360
It was, it was really bad.

786
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:56,760
Like it, like I got off the plane like genuinely very angry

787
01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:59,400
because I had just spent 12 hours like

788
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:04,040
smelling just, I literally, I can't.

789
01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:07,960
Okay. He wasn't old enough for this to be the case

790
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:09,480
and this is going to get a little bit morbid.

791
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:14,520
I don't even know if I want to go. You're just going to say he smelled like death, smelled like he was rotting.

792
01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:17,320
But quite literally because I've smelled that before. Right.

793
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:23,320
Like to the point where I was, I was one, and I'm, I'm sick now. I'm not saying I got it from him,

794
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:27,960
but I was wondering like, is this like a bad because it's actually particle particles.

795
01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:32,200
It's bad to not sleep. Yeah. Like keeping you awake is going to make you

796
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:35,720
immunocompromised, which makes you more likely to get sick, dude.

797
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:39,160
I walked the plane to see if there was another seat that I could go in

798
01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:42,360
and I was going to offer, like if there was a economy plus seat

799
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:45,400
and it was the only one that was open, I was going to offer to pay like mid-flight,

800
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:48,680
like just get me out of here. Dear God, there wasn't anything.

801
01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:53,000
The whole plane was full. This isn't a competition. Okay. This is not me making everything about me.

802
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:55,720
I didn't have VIXX. Go ahead, press the button.

803
01:03:57,160 --> 01:04:01,080
I'm sure you have. Or even it, there we go. But my flight back sucked too.

804
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:05,560
So we, we took off from Taipei

805
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:09,480
and I like passed out. And that was actually my plan

806
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:13,800
was to sleep the first half of the flight and then stay up the second half

807
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:18,120
so that I could then go to bed because your sleep on a plane

808
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:21,480
is not proper sleep. So if I could sleep for five hours,

809
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:26,440
stay awake for five hours, drive home, be up for four hours.

810
01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:29,880
That's like nine hours awake. This is exactly what I'm trying to do. And then go to bed. Yeah.

811
01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:35,160
Like let's go. So I was, everything was going according to plan.

812
01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:39,400
I passed the math out before we were probably even at cruising altitude.

813
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:44,040
And then I like woke up from one of the deepest sleeps

814
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:45,560
that I've ever been in on a plane.

815
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:53,800
And we were descending and I was like, did I just sleep through a 10 hour flight?

816
01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:57,960
Like that's, that's incredible. I like, I feel.

817
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:02,360
Sometimes time does seem weird on planes. Yeah. I feel refreshed.

818
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:08,920
But I don't, oh, that was a deep sleep. But I don't feel like I was out for 10 hours.

819
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:14,360
Wait a second. The, that's, that's not YVR.

820
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:17,640
What, what airport are we descending into?

821
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:23,000
Did I get on the wrong plane? Yeah, exactly. What is, what is KIX?

822
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:26,520
How is that even possible? We were descending into Osaka.

823
01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:30,200
Yeah. Or ITM. Is it ITM?

824
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:36,280
Whatever. It's, it was ITM or KIX. It was one of them. The point is we were headed to Osaka.

825
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:40,120
So it turned out that we had actually gone about an hour

826
01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:44,920
off the coast of Japan, turned around because of a medical emergency.

827
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:50,600
And we were landing in Osaka at about 3.30 AM Japan time.

828
01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:58,520
So to be clear, okay, I am grateful that I am not the person who had the medical emergency.

829
01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:03,720
And I am more than happy to be inconvenienced if it meant saving their life or whatever.

830
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:06,040
Yeah. Okay. Not about that. Do you have any idea what it was?

831
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:10,920
No, I don't know. Yeah. But they like did the thing. Like, is there a doctor on the plane?

832
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:14,120
Like, like just like in the movies and stuff. Yeah. So there was that.

833
01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:19,640
I didn't hear that part because I was out for that part. Sure. But Nick was seated up in the front and he told me.

834
01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:22,760
Wow. And apparently there was and they like tried but they had to,

835
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:29,160
so they had to turn it around. So, so we land and it was a combination of being frustrated at the lack of communication

836
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:32,520
because I missed the hey, we're landing in Osaka.

837
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:37,240
And then for, we were probably on the ground for 45 minutes to an hour before they even told us.

838
01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:46,760
Yeah. So Osaka airport is closed because it's like, you know, for four by then 430 in the morning.

839
01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:51,320
So it's just like a skeleton crew, right? Like there's enough people there for you to land,

840
01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:54,760
but they couldn't let us out in the terminal. So, so yeah, we're going to be here.

841
01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:58,120
We're going to be here for a few hours on the plane while,

842
01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:03,000
while people get to work so that they can refuel the plane and do all of our free flight checks

843
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:10,600
and take off. So my 10 hour flight that was supposed to be direct ended up being a 15 hour flight.

844
01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:17,880
Brother. Where we went past Japan, back to Japan, waited around for literally like three hours on the

845
01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:21,720
ground, probably three, three and a half hours and then took off back to Vancouver.

846
01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:26,440
I assumed you got off the plane. No, but it could have been worse.

847
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:30,680
I was chatting with someone else at one point.

848
01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:36,040
Was it when we were out in the terminal? I don't know, it doesn't matter. Like, like once we got to Vancouver, it was either when we got to Vancouver or I was,

849
01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:40,280
or it was my seat mates. I don't remember, but I was chatting with someone and this is hilarious.

850
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:43,880
They actually came from Osaka.

851
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:49,320
So they had a connecting flight through Taipei for Vancouver.

852
01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:57,160
So they went from Osaka to Vancouver over Osaka, back to Osaka and then onto Vancouver.

853
01:07:57,160 --> 01:08:01,560
So like that's, so, so that means they went, so they had to be at the airport,

854
01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:07,240
you know, two hours early, let's say, and then they had a two and a half hour flight to Taipei.

855
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:10,360
They waited for probably, you know, an hour.

856
01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:18,040
So let's say they're up to, let's say an hour and a half. So let's say they're up to six hours now, then they had a 15 hour stupid multi leg flight.

857
01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:25,960
So they were, dude, they were like brutal, like over 20 hours of actual airport and flight.

858
01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:27,720
I feel bad for them. That is pretty rough.

859
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:33,500
What are we doing right now? Explaining merch message. Oh.

860
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:38,680
Yeah, I like merch messages. Let's do a merch message. How about another merch message? Sure, why not?

861
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:41,960
What was the question? What was the last one? Yeah, yeah, that was a good one.

862
01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:45,080
Okay. Yeah, they did good. Good job. Thanks.

863
01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:50,200
That's how you send a merch message, all right. Honestly, when we get derailed that hard, that is probably true.

864
01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:53,640
Yeah, I try and find them sometimes. Quality merch message.

865
01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:59,720
Do that. Dear DLL, love the screwdriver and hoodie, phone pocket.

866
01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:04,760
What is the most surprising video that did well? And what was the most surprising video that flopped?

867
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:11,720
Oh man, picking out one out of the like 6,000 videos or whatever.

868
01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:13,160
Honestly, not that easy.

869
01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:21,240
There have definitely been examples of LTT videos that performed in ways that I didn't expect.

870
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:26,920
I mean, I'd say the biggest surprise of all time has got to be the original firetruck video.

871
01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:30,120
There's no way anything could surprise me more than unboxing some stupid toy

872
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:37,160
and it getting 9 million views or whatever. I met the guy from Arctic who headed up the toys project.

873
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:42,120
Oh, shut up. While I was in the airport in Taiwan heading to Hong Kong,

874
01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:45,960
we hung out in the line getting onto the plane and like talked about it and everything.

875
01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:48,520
And he handed me his business card and like, it's legit.

876
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:51,960
I know, I know that guy. That is wild. Yeah.

877
01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:56,680
Okay, okay. It's a fun random contact that I have now.

878
01:09:56,760 --> 01:10:00,760
I'll, I'll, I'll, I don't think this is on par, but this is something.

879
01:10:01,400 --> 01:10:05,480
I was getting fried chicken in the food court of the tech mall

880
01:10:05,480 --> 01:10:08,200
and I ran into the CEO of Trikes. Oh, yeah.

881
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:12,920
Oh, wait, were you with me for that? I was there, yeah. You were there for that? Yeah. Well, that was pretty crazy.

882
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:17,880
That was another, the day before Confutex, I went to, I like going to random restaurants

883
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:23,960
in Taipei because they're often so good. I stepped into one random restaurant just called Pay My Tuition,

884
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:28,200
which I thought was a hilarious name. So I went for it and it was fantastic.

885
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:33,880
Great restaurant, great food, et cetera. But I was sitting there for a while just at a bar because I only have like two tables.

886
01:10:34,440 --> 01:10:37,720
So I was eating at the bar and there's a guy sitting next to me

887
01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:41,240
and he randomly sparks up conversations. We're talking for a little bit and I ask him what he does.

888
01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:46,280
And he's a, he was a systems engineer. He was a lead systems engineer at NVIDIA.

889
01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:51,720
He's like one of their lead people for making those like AI appliances.

890
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:54,840
I was like, uh, okay.

891
01:10:55,640 --> 01:11:01,480
Had no idea who I was. Not interested in like the standard tech side of things at all.

892
01:11:01,480 --> 01:11:05,000
Purely joined NVIDIA to do AI stuff. Okay.

893
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:08,600
Crazy. Like hadn't even heard of line of sectives at all.

894
01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:12,920
Really? Yeah. Like does not care about that side of things in this latest.

895
01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:19,800
All right. I'm looking for videos that only got less than 600,000 views.

896
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:24,120
We've, most of these are pretty expected.

897
01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:30,040
Me versus a pool cleaning robot. Yep. That checks out today's video.

898
01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:32,040
So, you know, that'll still get more views.

899
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:36,120
The CSONIC coverage at Computex.

900
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:43,000
That one makes sense because YouTube CMS still doesn't really account very well

901
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:46,280
for multi-person managed channels.

902
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:52,600
So, two people had the video metadata editing open at the same time.

903
01:11:53,400 --> 01:11:57,480
One of them saved their changes and put it public.

904
01:11:57,480 --> 01:12:00,360
And then another person had it unlisted and saved that.

905
01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:05,480
So, it went unlisted. And then they were like, oh no, and set it public again,

906
01:12:05,480 --> 01:12:08,360
but by then the momentum's completely dead. Which video was that?

907
01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:12,760
CSONIC's new power supply that has temperature and current sensing.

908
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:15,640
The burning CPUs one? To keep it from burning GPUs. Yeah.

909
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:17,800
I was wondering why that got so low views.

910
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:23,240
That makes sense. Here's a sponsored thing on an OBSBOT camera.

911
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:29,720
That weird, man, it's like all like showcases.

912
01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:35,400
Answering your questions about 5G. What is this?

913
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:41,560
What the heck is this video? Can 5G be slow?

914
01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:46,440
Oh, this was actually a good video. Okay, yeah, this is one that I expected to do better.

915
01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:55,000
It was sponsored by T-Mobile, but it ended up being legitimately a pretty good video.

916
01:12:55,640 --> 01:12:59,080
Because we, yeah, we had a couple talking points for them,

917
01:12:59,080 --> 01:13:02,680
but we stayed really, really fact focused in it.

918
01:13:02,680 --> 01:13:07,400
And yeah, I honestly, I thought it was a good question.

919
01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:10,760
It's not a great thumbnail, honestly. I thought it was a good question though,

920
01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:17,400
and I thought we did a good job of answering it. For a sponsored video, the like-dislike ratio,

921
01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:22,040
if I recall correctly, was like pretty good. Like people who watched it seemed to have enjoyed it.

922
01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:26,440
Wait, no, it was not. It was super terrible. Okay, I wonder why.

923
01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:30,680
Okay, now I just really don't remember. I thought it was a good video, but...

924
01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:35,400
How old is this? A few years, right? Yeah, oh dude, this is years old.

925
01:13:35,400 --> 01:13:39,560
If I remember correctly, people were just angry at T-Mobile at the time.

926
01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:42,520
I don't think it had much to do with... I thought people were chill with T-Mobile.

927
01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:47,240
Back then. They've had like five years ago.

928
01:13:47,240 --> 01:13:49,560
Why are you the ups and downs? So I'm not sure.

929
01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:03,720
All right, yeah. Oh, I think, yeah, I think people are just mad

930
01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:09,960
that it was sponsored, which like makes sense. But also, yeah, I thought the video was fine

931
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:12,360
because we basically didn't even really do their talking points.

932
01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:19,480
Um, I mean, Jack... I was surprised that the mineral oil short

933
01:14:19,480 --> 01:14:22,440
that Sammy and I did at Computex did so well.

934
01:14:23,480 --> 01:14:30,600
Oh, I'm not that surprised. Shorts do pretty okay, and Sammy is like the short whisperer around here.

935
01:14:30,600 --> 01:14:37,320
He is. I gotta say, I honestly don't get that one that he and Elijah did

936
01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:41,480
on the Acer Predator 21X... 22 million views.

937
01:14:41,480 --> 01:14:47,400
Yeah, and like, I know cognitively

938
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:52,360
that part of what makes a short perform is that it kind of leaves you still hungry

939
01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:57,560
because it makes you like, is it over already? And like, start watching it again?

940
01:14:57,560 --> 01:15:01,800
You have to have more than 100% average view duration

941
01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:03,880
in order for a short to pop off, basically.

942
01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:09,480
So like, I know that, but I just found that video

943
01:15:09,480 --> 01:15:14,120
so lacking in information, and like, it was like,

944
01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:19,000
for me personally, for my millennial brain, where I want beginning, middle, end,

945
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:20,920
I want closure from my stories,

946
01:15:23,080 --> 01:15:26,360
I just found that video so deeply unsatisfying

947
01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:31,160
that I just don't understand how it performed that well. And it banged, dude.

948
01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:34,600
I know, I know, I don't get it. I don't get it.

949
01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:39,000
Maybe I should just... I clearly can't connect with the young kids anymore.

950
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:42,200
Maybe I should just start Twitch streaming.

951
01:15:42,200 --> 01:15:43,560
They don't seem to have trouble with it.

952
01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:48,760
Sorry, excuse me, YouTube streaming.

953
01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:55,160
Oh, right. What platform is he on these days? You gotta switch when you do that.

954
01:15:55,160 --> 01:15:57,720
I also need a mustache. All right.

955
01:15:58,360 --> 01:16:02,120
And a certain kind of mustache. Yeah, yeah.

956
01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:06,120
Okay, I'm done. I'm done. Yeah, maybe a bear costs you.

957
01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:14,040
What year is it? The only reason why I said it was I was like,

958
01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:17,720
most people are going to get this anyways. Yeah, we're going to have a flashback.

959
01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:20,920
Do you remember that time that we were doing it?

960
01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:24,360
You might have been on a Floatplane by this point.

961
01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:31,000
Were you ever aware of the time that I dressed in a bear costume

962
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:34,760
to do a spot for Tunnel Bear? Tunnel Bear, I feel like was my time,

963
01:16:34,760 --> 01:16:40,280
but I don't think I remember this. Dude, they were not into it.

964
01:16:42,760 --> 01:16:47,560
I have no idea if they're still around. I think they changed hands and got like sketchy,

965
01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:51,400
but I'm not sure. I mean, that's classic VPN, right?

966
01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:54,760
VPN stuff, yeah. Oh, it looks like they're still here.

967
01:16:54,760 --> 01:16:57,880
Yeah, they're still here. Yeah, they're still here. Yeah, they're still here.

968
01:16:57,880 --> 01:17:03,240
Yeah, they're still here. Yeah, they're still here. Yeah, they're still here. Yeah, it looks like they're still here.

969
01:17:03,240 --> 01:17:08,680
I don't know who owns them right now, because my info on that change hands got sketchy thing

970
01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:12,520
is like very old. So it's very possible they change hands again

971
01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:14,760
or that my info is just wrong. I don't know.

972
01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:20,520
Man, I can't even find this, but we were definitely...

973
01:17:21,320 --> 01:17:22,920
Tunnel Bear is owned by McAfee?

974
01:17:26,120 --> 01:17:29,480
Okay. Man, I wear all kinds of funny outfits.

975
01:17:31,080 --> 01:17:32,760
Look at this.

976
01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:38,440
What was I thinking? This is hilarious.

977
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:44,680
Fun fact, by the way, I first wore this jacket, I think, before he did, just saying.

978
01:17:45,560 --> 01:17:48,840
Do you remember when we went to Value Village for this? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

979
01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:52,360
Yeah, it was not an intentional homage,

980
01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:56,840
but I absolutely love it. So now that it's done, I'm going to say it was intentional.

981
01:17:56,840 --> 01:17:59,160
He's awesome too, so like, sure, why not?

982
01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:02,920
Okay, hold on. Let's try Bear Costume instead of Bear Suit.

983
01:18:05,480 --> 01:18:08,600
It was very similar to this Bear Costume.

984
01:18:08,600 --> 01:18:11,240
It may have been the same Bear Costume, but that isn't me.

985
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:15,560
Yeah, sorry, I can't find it. I'm not sure why people are having trouble finding it.

986
01:18:15,560 --> 01:18:19,880
It's the PSU video he's talking about

987
01:18:19,880 --> 01:18:23,160
is called The Real Solution to Burning GPU Connectors.

988
01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:26,200
There's no way you can't see it. It's on the YouTube page.

989
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:31,720
If you go to the YouTube page, click on videos and scroll down, it's right there. Thumbnail has him doing this and holding a PSU

990
01:18:31,720 --> 01:18:36,280
and it says not a GPU on it. Cool, you can find it, I believe in you.

991
01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:43,240
What are we supposed to be doing? I think we did, I think that was a merge message.

992
01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:48,040
Oh, okay, more topics. Yeah, we could do that. Are we supposed to finish announcements?

993
01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:52,360
We could go off the back of what we were just talking about and talk about miners.

994
01:18:54,280 --> 01:19:03,080
Oh, right, blink. Oh, right, blink is not the way to transition out of that.

995
01:19:04,200 --> 01:19:05,160
What are you guys doing?

996
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:15,000
Oh, God. Luke, can you just be jet lagged every week?

997
01:19:19,560 --> 01:19:25,160
Oh, no. Okay. You know, you could salvage this at any point.

998
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:28,680
By just starting to talk about the thing that we're actually talking about.

999
01:19:28,680 --> 01:19:31,240
Well, is it Boink or is it? Boink. Okay.

1000
01:19:32,840 --> 01:19:34,680
I thought that's what we were talking about. No.

1001
01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:39,640
Oh, oh, you wanted to do that topic. Yeah.

1002
01:19:39,640 --> 01:19:43,880
About the Texas age verification law. No, I thought we were talking about the Boink pentathlon,

1003
01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:50,440
like mining or something. Oh, no. Like the other kind of mining, like using compute for,

1004
01:19:50,440 --> 01:19:53,640
you know, to do stuff. I mean, I think you do that too.

1005
01:19:54,600 --> 01:19:57,880
Sometimes. Normally the FBI gets involved. Okay. All right.

1006
01:19:57,880 --> 01:20:03,240
Boink pentathlon 2025. For two weeks, the LTT forum Boink team

1007
01:20:03,240 --> 01:20:09,320
battled it out against other tech communities in the Boink pentathlon hosted by Seti Germany.

1008
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:13,160
This was our best showing yet with over 50 participants

1009
01:20:13,160 --> 01:20:18,600
and we secured silver overall, which is our highest placement in all seven pentathlons

1010
01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:24,360
we've entered. Huge thanks to everyone who joined in and put their hardware to work for a good cause.

1011
01:20:24,360 --> 01:20:28,360
You can head to LinusTechTips.com to join in on upcoming folding events

1012
01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:32,360
and contribute some computing power for science.

1013
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:37,000
So that was pretty cool. Yeah, we can talk about miners now.

1014
01:20:38,040 --> 01:20:41,640
Just a minor issue, Texas age verification law.

1015
01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:45,000
On May 27th, Texas governor Greg Abbott

1016
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:48,360
signed a bill into law that requires Apple and Google

1017
01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:54,040
to verify the age of users in order for them to use their app store.

1018
01:20:54,040 --> 01:20:58,920
This law will go into effect January 1st, giving the, wow, that's like, dude,

1019
01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:04,120
that's like seven months to figure out for a problem nobody has solved yet.

1020
01:21:04,120 --> 01:21:07,960
Hold on, we'll get to that. That might sound like a long time for you. It's like not at all.

1021
01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:10,440
That is like nothing. Okay.

1022
01:21:11,240 --> 01:21:16,280
Sorry. We'll go into effect January 1st and for users under the age of 18,

1023
01:21:16,280 --> 01:21:19,480
they will be required to have parental consent

1024
01:21:19,480 --> 01:21:24,440
in order to download apps. An Apple spokesperson gave a statement right away saying,

1025
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:28,680
we believe there are better proposals that help keep kids safe

1026
01:21:28,680 --> 01:21:32,440
without requiring millions of people to turn over their personal information.

1027
01:21:33,320 --> 01:21:38,840
Google has not yet made a response. This bill is intended to assist in KOSA,

1028
01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:42,440
the Kids Online Safety Act, which is meant to help protect children online

1029
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:45,960
and protect them from social media apps.

1030
01:21:46,040 --> 01:21:50,600
The general concept, man, trust me, I super agree with.

1031
01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:56,680
The same Apple spokesperson spoke up about the concern with privacy

1032
01:21:56,680 --> 01:22:01,080
and the need for this to even download apps like weather updates and sporting apps.

1033
01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:04,440
I don't care about the second part. Yeah, I don't think I care too much about that.

1034
01:22:04,440 --> 01:22:06,920
Hold on, I don't know why my comments

1035
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:11,880
didn't make it into the notes here. So here's kind of what, here's my initial take is,

1036
01:22:12,440 --> 01:22:15,640
like, I'm not even fundamentally opposed to the idea

1037
01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:19,080
that children should not be able to make in-app purchases

1038
01:22:19,080 --> 01:22:22,680
and should not be able to download random apps

1039
01:22:22,680 --> 01:22:25,960
without parental consent. I would even, you know,

1040
01:22:25,960 --> 01:22:31,640
I would be open to something like the equivalent of ESRB for apps.

1041
01:22:31,640 --> 01:22:35,880
So if you have a, you know, a minor account, then, you know, this app contains mature content.

1042
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:41,000
I think that, I think that is implemented. They already have that type of stuff. Yeah, but I'd be okay with like an actual,

1043
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:44,440
like standards board rather than just leaving it to Apple and Google to police this.

1044
01:22:45,320 --> 01:22:48,360
So instead of just being a... It's a lot of self-reporting.

1045
01:22:48,360 --> 01:22:51,720
Yeah, block things that have been reported as bad.

1046
01:22:51,720 --> 01:22:54,840
It would be more of a explicitly allow things

1047
01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:58,120
that have actually been vetted. I'd be totally down for that.

1048
01:22:58,120 --> 01:23:00,600
I don't think that gambling should be allowed.

1049
01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:04,520
Teen, why? I don't remember why. Okay.

1050
01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:08,520
I think it's user... Diverse content. Diverse content.

1051
01:23:08,520 --> 01:23:12,440
Yeah, it makes sense. I think it's because we have UGC, user-generated content.

1052
01:23:12,440 --> 01:23:15,560
That makes sense. Shoot, what was I gonna say?

1053
01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:25,960
Right, right, right, right, right. So, you know, I would... I personally, I think anything with loot box,

1054
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:31,560
gotcha, any kind of gambling elements should automatically be for mature audiences only.

1055
01:23:31,560 --> 01:23:33,560
Like I'd be totally on board with that.

1056
01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:41,240
So, so side load of VPN. But it's always hilarious to me.

1057
01:23:42,040 --> 01:23:45,480
When administrations that claim to be anti-regulation,

1058
01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:48,440
right, anti-big government,

1059
01:23:49,720 --> 01:23:53,880
put extremely burdensome regulation in place

1060
01:23:53,880 --> 01:23:58,280
with zero concrete plan for how that could possibly be executed.

1061
01:23:58,280 --> 01:24:02,920
And really not a lot of time for these enormous, slow companies

1062
01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:07,640
to try to figure this out. How the f*** are they going to do this?

1063
01:24:07,640 --> 01:24:10,120
Especially in a way that's like safe and okay for the kids.

1064
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:15,800
And well, not just the kids, everyone.

1065
01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:19,720
Because if you're gonna verify kids, you basically have to verify everyone.

1066
01:24:19,720 --> 01:24:23,640
How do you verify kids without verifying everybody? But you're not a kid, yeah.

1067
01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:26,280
Yeah, so all of a sudden,

1068
01:24:27,320 --> 01:24:31,640
this is gonna be like a Texas-sized honeypot.

1069
01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:36,360
Get it, because it's in Texas? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a Texas law. That's pretty good.

1070
01:24:36,360 --> 01:24:41,160
So, and everything's bigger in Texas. So, dude, it's true.

1071
01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:45,560
I went there for not the first time, but the first time that I went there

1072
01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:50,600
and drove around and stuff. And they have gas stations that are bigger than our Costco's.

1073
01:24:50,600 --> 01:24:54,040
Yeah. It's like, okay, sure. And then there'll be one on the other side of the street,

1074
01:24:54,040 --> 01:25:00,440
too, just in case. By the way, it turns out, yeah, thanks, Clapped.

1075
01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:05,800
I am not bigger in Texas. I am exactly the same size there.

1076
01:25:07,240 --> 01:25:10,680
Perhaps if I'd been born in Texas and suckled on...

1077
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:12,120
That might not have been true. On barbecue.

1078
01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:20,200
You might have had a lot to eat while you were there. Yeah. You might have been a little bit bigger.

1079
01:25:20,200 --> 01:25:23,240
Oh, yeah, I'm not taller, probably. You weren't playing badminton while you were there.

1080
01:25:23,240 --> 01:25:27,000
Okay, I might have been a little bigger. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, okay, that's stupid.

1081
01:25:34,040 --> 01:25:37,480
Yeah, so... Speaking of stupid...

1082
01:25:37,480 --> 01:25:41,240
So, this is dumb. Is there anything else for us to talk about here other than just like...

1083
01:25:41,240 --> 01:25:47,240
Not really. It's not very well thought out. I don't think I would trust any state or provincial level

1084
01:25:47,240 --> 01:25:53,160
government to just hold an online registry that is supposed to be secure,

1085
01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:57,560
but also clearly linked with Google and Apple systems,

1086
01:25:57,560 --> 01:26:01,560
if there's going to be any kind of handoff and enforcement of this.

1087
01:26:01,560 --> 01:26:04,280
Oh, wait, you think the state's going to do anything?

1088
01:26:05,240 --> 01:26:08,520
I don't think so at all. So what, they're just mandating that Apple and Google

1089
01:26:08,520 --> 01:26:11,880
need to maintain these databases? Think so. That's even more insane.

1090
01:26:11,880 --> 01:26:15,400
There's no part in this where they're saying that they're going to do anything about it.

1091
01:26:17,720 --> 01:26:22,840
This is so dumb. I suspect it's going to be like an upload your ID type of situation.

1092
01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:28,120
This is so dumb. This is so dumb. You could upload any ID.

1093
01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:38,360
Oh, yeah, a forged one too. Well, yeah. Yeah, and like is our Apple and Google really incentivized to really make sure that they're...

1094
01:26:38,360 --> 01:26:45,720
That it's not forged? Also, damn, son, it's a lot easier to forge a digital document than a physical one.

1095
01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:52,280
Like if you have to forge an actual ID, a physical ID that's like on plastic and all that kind of stuff.

1096
01:26:53,400 --> 01:26:57,880
To be clear, that's very doable too. Oh, yeah, it has been for many a year.

1097
01:26:57,880 --> 01:27:01,720
Just forging a like crappy cell phone picture of one

1098
01:27:01,720 --> 01:27:07,080
is definitely easier than forging a real like convincing shiny UV light at it one.

1099
01:27:08,200 --> 01:27:11,640
For sure. So I don't know, man.

1100
01:27:11,640 --> 01:27:18,760
Can I just take a moment here though to say that I've seen dumb politicians from every party.

1101
01:27:20,120 --> 01:27:25,880
This just happens to be a super dumb proposal from a particular party.

1102
01:27:25,880 --> 01:27:30,600
And I find the irony of we are the party of small government.

1103
01:27:30,600 --> 01:27:37,000
Oh, by the way, tech giants need to collect even more...

1104
01:27:37,080 --> 01:27:41,240
Must, by law, collect even more personal information about our citizens.

1105
01:27:41,960 --> 01:27:48,760
Delicious. We're in like an extremely... That is like, that is delicious irony.

1106
01:27:48,760 --> 01:27:53,400
Delicious. We're in a time of extreme unrest and frustrations like globally.

1107
01:27:53,400 --> 01:27:59,800
And I think it's... I can't personally think of a government that the people

1108
01:28:00,680 --> 01:28:03,720
under said government are like stoked on right now.

1109
01:28:04,440 --> 01:28:09,640
And I also can't really think of like a party trying to get in that everyone's like,

1110
01:28:09,640 --> 01:28:15,160
yes, I'm very excited about this. What I usually am seeing is I'm excited about change.

1111
01:28:15,800 --> 01:28:21,160
Not that I'm excited about the thing that's replacing it. They're just like, oh goodness, I need this thing that's currently here gone.

1112
01:28:21,160 --> 01:28:26,440
And I'm excited that this other thing might come in and take it away. Not I'm excited that this other thing is so good.

1113
01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:30,200
Yeah, we were talking about this recently. There's a lot of that.

1114
01:28:30,280 --> 01:28:38,680
Like we're seeing these vast pendulum swings just because people are super frustrated with

1115
01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:42,840
whether it's inflation or other economic hardship.

1116
01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:51,320
Aging populations. So a lot of the paying to support those aging populations is on a more youthful population

1117
01:28:51,320 --> 01:28:56,200
that has been massively disadvantaged compared to said populations that they are now supporting,

1118
01:28:56,200 --> 01:29:00,760
which is a very frustrating situation to be in. And is disadvantaged in terms of numbers.

1119
01:29:01,320 --> 01:29:04,680
Yeah, it's tough out there.

1120
01:29:04,680 --> 01:29:12,600
We're also dealing with a massive overspending globally from governments for a very extended

1121
01:29:12,600 --> 01:29:16,360
period of time. In many cases for no reason.

1122
01:29:16,360 --> 01:29:23,800
So now that things are challenging and we actually need to spend, the coffers are empty.

1123
01:29:24,760 --> 01:29:31,240
And not only are the coffers empty, but you have extreme amounts of debt that you're

1124
01:29:31,240 --> 01:29:36,120
servicing constantly. And this is like, to be clear, I'm not talking about Canada.

1125
01:29:36,120 --> 01:29:39,480
I'm not talking about the States. I'm talking about practically the whole world.

1126
01:29:40,680 --> 01:29:45,160
Like this is, this is not, this is Sweden that has that sovereign wealth fund.

1127
01:29:45,160 --> 01:29:49,400
Norway is just like a Norway. Yeah, that's right. Where they're just like rolling in it.

1128
01:29:49,400 --> 01:29:55,320
Yeah, I'm not talking about them. They are, they are, as far as I can tell, they're doing great.

1129
01:29:57,240 --> 01:30:03,720
Yeah. Yeah. You go to their website, you go to the Norway bank investment management website and just

1130
01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:06,200
right on the front, they're like, what up?

1131
01:30:07,240 --> 01:30:10,760
Nineteen trillion. We're doing sick. Whatever a knock is.

1132
01:30:10,760 --> 01:30:13,160
Knock. Yeah, let's see. What's a knock?

1133
01:30:16,120 --> 01:30:20,280
You got this. Can he even compute when he's dead? You can't, it won't do it.

1134
01:30:20,280 --> 01:30:23,960
You can't just like triple click. Luke can't even compute when he's jet-legged.

1135
01:30:23,960 --> 01:30:28,040
You can't triple click it. That's so annoying. Why would you highlight knock?

1136
01:30:28,040 --> 01:30:29,640
Because I am going to do this.

1137
01:30:32,120 --> 01:30:37,000
Okay, what is this? Two and a half trillion Canadian dollars.

1138
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:41,000
Just literally it couldn't even display on one line.

1139
01:30:41,000 --> 01:30:44,680
Yeah. Well, there's sense. Yeah, but look, it's two lines.

1140
01:30:44,680 --> 01:30:48,200
Yeah, that's true. Still, that's wild.

1141
01:30:48,200 --> 01:30:57,560
But that's, that's so baller, dude. Holy, holy, and as far as I understand it goes,

1142
01:30:57,560 --> 01:31:01,400
something that's really funny about this is apparently there was, and I could be wrong with this.

1143
01:31:01,400 --> 01:31:08,760
I don't know. I'm not Norwegian, but apparently there's Norwegian people frustrated that like, you know, the whole tariff thing going on in the States,

1144
01:31:08,760 --> 01:31:14,360
but they're frustrated because American stocks are going down, and this Norway fund is like invested in American stocks.

1145
01:31:14,360 --> 01:31:17,160
So they're like, damn it, America fix your, fix your economy.

1146
01:31:18,040 --> 01:31:22,120
Our stock investments aren't doing as well. Hey, come on.

1147
01:31:24,280 --> 01:31:28,040
Yeah, so they show like, again, these are their investments.

1148
01:31:28,600 --> 01:31:33,640
Right. Yeah. Exxon, Apple, Microsoft, and video. Like this is a lot of American stuff.

1149
01:31:33,640 --> 01:31:36,440
Yeah. Oh man. Alphabet. Yeah.

1150
01:31:37,880 --> 01:31:40,600
We don't want to share of the world's largest companies. Yeah, you do.

1151
01:31:41,400 --> 01:31:46,040
Yeah. Okay. Oh, Dan wants us to do sponsors.

1152
01:31:46,040 --> 01:31:51,560
Let's do one more topic real quick first. WWDC 2025 is almost here.

1153
01:31:52,200 --> 01:31:58,040
iOS and macOS are rumored to switch up their numbers to match the upcoming year,

1154
01:31:58,040 --> 01:32:01,880
which means, oh, the upcoming year. Oh, really?

1155
01:32:02,360 --> 01:32:08,600
So iOS and macOS 26 would be incoming this year?

1156
01:32:11,080 --> 01:32:12,840
Okay. Okay.

1157
01:32:16,120 --> 01:32:19,800
So I was ready to be really excited about this because this actually makes it

1158
01:32:19,800 --> 01:32:23,000
really easy to tell like how old something is.

1159
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:27,560
Apple is not my friend. Normally when it comes to their naming schemes,

1160
01:32:27,560 --> 01:32:31,080
they're really good about some stuff. Like iPhone is super clear.

1161
01:32:31,080 --> 01:32:35,080
It's the iPhone. Well, there's a number on it that indicates the generation.

1162
01:32:35,080 --> 01:32:40,680
Sometimes. And it's plus if it's big or max if it's really big.

1163
01:32:40,760 --> 01:32:46,840
Maybe it's an X. Pro, if it's like more better or something, you can kind of break it down.

1164
01:32:48,440 --> 01:32:53,160
You can kind of break it down. Whereas a lot of their other stuff, it's like, this is Mac Pro.

1165
01:32:53,160 --> 01:32:59,160
It's like, what f**king Mac Pro is it? Does it even have expansion slots and removable memory?

1166
01:32:59,160 --> 01:33:03,320
I don't know. Well, okay, they all have expansion slots, I think. Oh, no, they don't. Right. Because the trash can didn't.

1167
01:33:03,320 --> 01:33:06,760
So like, what even is it? I don't know. It's Mac Pro.

1168
01:33:06,760 --> 01:33:11,160
And sometimes we put a year on it. And sometimes we just don't.

1169
01:33:12,600 --> 01:33:19,080
But I was pretty into this as long as it was going to be the year of it actually being.

1170
01:33:19,080 --> 01:33:24,520
Okay. Okay, you know what? No, this makes sense because if they're announcing it at WWDC25,

1171
01:33:24,520 --> 01:33:28,840
then that means it would actually be the OS that they're rolling in 2026.

1172
01:33:28,840 --> 01:33:31,560
So actually, okay, I love it. I actually really like this.

1173
01:33:32,520 --> 01:33:36,760
There's a Vision OS inspired interface coming to all Apple devices called Solarium.

1174
01:33:36,760 --> 01:33:41,480
This will be a big overall. These are rumors, by the way, hoping to modernize and unify operating systems

1175
01:33:41,480 --> 01:33:45,960
across their product line. I have a hard time imagining how you would unify the experience in Vision OS with

1176
01:33:46,920 --> 01:33:50,040
devices that go in your pocket or sit on your lap or whatever.

1177
01:33:50,040 --> 01:33:55,400
Vision OS 3 apparently is also coming. Not much is known, but they're allegedly working on an eye-scrolling feature for the Vision Pro.

1178
01:33:56,040 --> 01:34:01,240
What they really need to work on is this thing is not horrible to wear feature for the Vision Pro

1179
01:34:01,240 --> 01:34:06,040
and just getting out of the way of the developers of adult content.

1180
01:34:06,120 --> 01:34:09,800
Because we all know that that's what people are using these devices for, but...

1181
01:34:09,800 --> 01:34:13,480
It drives most technology. I think most, come on.

1182
01:34:13,480 --> 01:34:17,160
It does not drive most technology. It drove cameras. It drove a lot of PC stuff.

1183
01:34:17,160 --> 01:34:18,280
It drove a lot of phones.

1184
01:34:21,160 --> 01:34:26,760
You're right. It's not most technology, but it's like a massive percentage of consumer electronics.

1185
01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:34,040
Isn't that basically why VHS won? Yeah, if I remember correctly.

1186
01:34:34,120 --> 01:34:39,640
Like, it's a really big driver of tech. Anyway, waterproof electronics too.

1187
01:34:39,640 --> 01:34:43,880
Yep, never thought about that. There's apparently a dedicated gaming app also on the way.

1188
01:34:43,880 --> 01:34:47,560
The software will serve as a launcher for titles and centralize in game achievements,

1189
01:34:47,560 --> 01:34:52,280
leaderboards, communications, and other activity. Oh, cool. It's the Windows games folder thing.

1190
01:34:53,320 --> 01:34:56,440
This will replace Game Center, which debuted in 2010.

1191
01:34:57,240 --> 01:35:02,920
Oh, yeah. Oh, this isn't in the thing for WWDC rumors, but Apple bought a game studio.

1192
01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:09,320
And it's based in Vancouver.

1193
01:35:10,200 --> 01:35:12,760
Apple bought a Vancouver game studio for the first time.

1194
01:35:13,320 --> 01:35:18,760
Apparently, this is according to Yahoo Finance, Apple bought a game studio.

1195
01:35:18,760 --> 01:35:24,600
And it is a two-person team behind the game Sneaky Sasquatch.

1196
01:35:26,600 --> 01:35:30,600
What?

1197
01:35:30,600 --> 01:35:39,160
I think this is verbal irony.

1198
01:35:39,160 --> 01:35:47,880
Apparently, Sneaky Sasquatch is really good.

1199
01:35:47,880 --> 01:35:51,800
I've never tried it. No, that's sick. And I'm happy for the two people.

1200
01:35:51,800 --> 01:35:56,760
It's just like, how did they, that's so random.

1201
01:35:56,760 --> 01:36:04,120
Like you're Apple, okay? You have Apple money and you're like, we're going to take gaming seriously.

1202
01:36:04,120 --> 01:36:09,800
We're going to work on all this like, you know, developer assistance to help them,

1203
01:36:09,800 --> 01:36:17,080
you know, get things running on metal. And we're going to build, we're going to build GPUs that are super powerful into our chips.

1204
01:36:17,080 --> 01:36:20,840
So you're going to know that if there's any Apple device, it's got a powerful GPU.

1205
01:36:20,840 --> 01:36:24,040
We're the leader in mobile gaming monetization.

1206
01:36:24,040 --> 01:36:27,960
And we've got Apple money. We're going to make an investment. We're going to buy a developer.

1207
01:36:28,680 --> 01:36:30,680
We're buying Sneaky Sasquatch.

1208
01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:39,000
Sean Float says it's a great game, which is fine.

1209
01:36:39,720 --> 01:36:42,920
But just like you have Apple money.

1210
01:36:43,880 --> 01:36:49,800
Like how did this, the thing that I'm getting stuck on is how did this even happen?

1211
01:36:49,800 --> 01:36:58,120
Like, do one of the people behind this, one of the two people behind this game,

1212
01:36:58,120 --> 01:37:02,920
like know somebody in the acquisition department at Apple? I mean, I'm sure they have relationships with people at Apple.

1213
01:37:02,920 --> 01:37:06,440
It was apparently like at the top of the app store for a while and like, hell yeah.

1214
01:37:07,240 --> 01:37:14,280
My only speculation is that Apple wants to like go hard on gaming and they just like

1215
01:37:14,280 --> 01:37:23,000
want these two people to do it or something. Because there's no way, there's no way they're just buying this like two person studio

1216
01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:27,000
so that they can own Sneaky Sasquatch to, you know, the Sneak and Ape.

1217
01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:30,760
Like I don't, I don't, they, I just, I wonder, like, that's a lot.

1218
01:37:30,760 --> 01:37:33,640
I'm sure they'd be happy to just take 30% of their sales.

1219
01:37:35,160 --> 01:37:39,640
Like that's been the Apple model. Why would we buy a game developer when we can take more profit than they're going to make?

1220
01:37:39,640 --> 01:37:44,120
Do you think this is them just being really mad at Epic?

1221
01:37:44,680 --> 01:37:50,680
Mr. Tim? No, I don't think this has anything to do with that. This must have been in, in progress for ages.

1222
01:37:50,680 --> 01:37:56,520
Might not have had to be. It's only two people. Yeah, but what would Tim Sweeney have to do with this?

1223
01:37:57,560 --> 01:38:01,960
Oh, them just like wanting to be more competitive in games so they can try to poop on Fortnite.

1224
01:38:01,960 --> 01:38:04,360
I guess, but like, um...

1225
01:38:05,400 --> 01:38:09,480
Two Sneaky Two Squatch. That is a pretty great name for the second game.

1226
01:38:09,480 --> 01:38:17,560
That is, that is actually a really good name. Uh, all right, anywho, WWDC, nice, nice.

1227
01:38:17,560 --> 01:38:19,560
We should talk about the sponsors for the show.

1228
01:38:20,600 --> 01:38:23,800
What's the matter with your current power supply?

1229
01:38:24,600 --> 01:38:32,280
Maybe it's not a C-Sonic. Their Prime series of PSUs just won the year's Best PSU Award presented by the European Hardware

1230
01:38:32,280 --> 01:38:36,840
Association, which makes them the reigning champ four years in a row, with options ranging

1231
01:38:37,240 --> 01:38:41,320
from 450 watts to 2,200 watts.

1232
01:38:41,320 --> 01:38:46,760
There's a PSU for just about everyone, plus, uh, are all Primes fully modular?

1233
01:38:46,760 --> 01:38:51,880
It says all Primes are fully modular, so I'm going to go with that. And come with 12-year warranties.

1234
01:38:51,880 --> 01:38:56,200
They even showed off a wild addition to their lineup, but Computex that's built for AI applications,

1235
01:38:56,200 --> 01:39:02,840
a 3,200-watt PSU that is 80-plus Platinum certified that has six 12-volt 2x6 connectors,

1236
01:39:02,840 --> 01:39:06,840
six of them. Expect that to launch sometime toward the end of the year.

1237
01:39:06,840 --> 01:39:10,840
Speaking of Computex, they had their new OptiSync and OptiGuard technologies on display.

1238
01:39:10,840 --> 01:39:13,880
Super cool stuff that you should learn more about by watching the video we made there.

1239
01:39:13,880 --> 01:39:18,840
We'll link that below for y'all. Bottom line is, no matter which C-Sonic power supply you get, you'll be backed by cutting

1240
01:39:18,840 --> 01:39:23,320
edge tech and reliability, not to mention a comprehensive warranty, and most importantly,

1241
01:39:23,320 --> 01:39:31,160
a team that cares. Learn more by going to csonic.com, that's C like the ocean, Sonic, like a blue mammal

1242
01:39:31,400 --> 01:39:34,840
dot com. What am I looking at?

1243
01:39:37,480 --> 01:39:41,080
Is this actual, this is not their actual marketing collateral, right?

1244
01:39:41,080 --> 01:39:46,520
Can't be. It's gotta be. Okay, the show is also brought to you by Enable.

1245
01:39:46,520 --> 01:39:51,880
You know what's built different? A gorilla that can take on 100 humans.

1246
01:39:51,880 --> 01:39:56,280
Also, Encentral, an endpoint management solution by Enable.

1247
01:39:56,840 --> 01:40:01,320
Everything stems from what they've dubbed an Infinity Core, where, unlike with a certain

1248
01:40:01,320 --> 01:40:06,600
purple fellow, the focus is on data-driven flexibility and being able to break past rigid

1249
01:40:06,600 --> 01:40:13,880
workflows, templates, and absolutes. Get access to simple drag and drop workflow elements and AI assisted scripting, all designed

1250
01:40:13,880 --> 01:40:21,640
to make things as easy as possible to automate. But Encentral isn't just a set it and forget it software, you probably don't want to

1251
01:40:21,640 --> 01:40:24,040
be forgetting anything when it comes to cybersecurity.

1252
01:40:24,760 --> 01:40:28,360
That's why you get a whole slew of industry tested dashboards as well as the ability to

1253
01:40:28,360 --> 01:40:33,960
customize your own. And that's on top of regular scans of 800 plus apps, reliable patching, automated

1254
01:40:33,960 --> 01:40:38,280
security deployment, role-based access, and more protection tools to simplify cyber

1255
01:40:38,280 --> 01:40:41,960
resilience. Start running IT the way you want with Encentral.

1256
01:40:41,960 --> 01:40:45,000
Check it out using our link today, we'll have that down below.

1257
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:51,160
Finally, the show is brought to you by Proton. If you're tired of being changed to ecosystems owned by giant tech companies,

1258
01:40:51,240 --> 01:40:56,440
you're not alone. While we use a myriad of different industry standard suites here at LMG, let's be honest,

1259
01:40:56,440 --> 01:41:00,600
we can't say for 100% certainty that we know every single thing that they're using our

1260
01:41:00,600 --> 01:41:05,240
data for. Well, Proton's mission is to let you take back control of your information.

1261
01:41:05,240 --> 01:41:08,840
They have a large suite of tools for things like password management and cloud storage,

1262
01:41:08,840 --> 01:41:15,880
but we want to highlight their mail app. Proton mail, like the rest of their services, focuses on a major concern in today's age,

1263
01:41:15,880 --> 01:41:21,640
privacy. With features like zero access encryption, email tracker blocking, and built-in phishing

1264
01:41:21,640 --> 01:41:25,720
protection, you can send and receive emails with an extra layer of security.

1265
01:41:25,720 --> 01:41:31,320
In fact, even Proton can't access your mail. Combine that with an unlimited number of email aliases.

1266
01:41:31,320 --> 01:41:35,720
No wonder Colton keeps on getting rehired. And you can get started today for free.

1267
01:41:35,720 --> 01:41:39,400
The paid plan does offer a few more features, but it's your choice if you want to upgrade,

1268
01:41:39,400 --> 01:41:45,880
just like you should be able to choose who's looking at your data. Learn more today by clicking on the link in the description below.

1270
01:41:49,480 --> 01:41:54,120
All right, what do you want to do for our next topic? Luke took an art class.

1271
01:41:54,120 --> 01:41:57,640
We're going to just, yeah, so the next topic is off topic.

1272
01:41:57,640 --> 01:42:01,080
No. No, no, just this one. Oh, just the wall. Okay.

1273
01:42:01,080 --> 01:42:06,920
If we're just doing that one, we want to do more. I told Luke, he literally went to a country, sort of.

1274
01:42:06,920 --> 01:42:14,440
It's complicated. Yeah. He went to a place for the sole purpose of going on a hike and taking an art class.

1275
01:42:14,440 --> 01:42:18,360
That's not true. That's all you told me you were doing there. You were there for one day.

1276
01:42:18,360 --> 01:42:23,160
Yeah, because I was going to China. Well, yeah, but like you were in that other place for one day.

1277
01:42:23,720 --> 01:42:27,640
Yeah. It was like 18 hours or something.

1278
01:42:28,200 --> 01:42:32,440
So you were there for- It was effectively a really long layover. And I had to sleep for part of that.

1279
01:42:32,440 --> 01:42:38,040
So you were there for 18 hours. Yeah. During which you went on a hike and took an art class.

1280
01:42:38,040 --> 01:42:41,640
No. I thought you went on, oh, did you skip the hike? Skip the art class.

1281
01:42:41,640 --> 01:42:45,160
Oh, you didn't even go? Oh. I wanted to.

1282
01:42:45,160 --> 01:42:48,680
Okay. We had a conversation about this where I was like, you're taking an art class.

1283
01:42:48,680 --> 01:42:51,960
You're probably going to suck at it. And then I was going to bug him on landscape.

1284
01:42:51,960 --> 01:42:55,160
It was going to be calligraphy of Chinese characters.

1285
01:42:55,160 --> 01:43:00,040
Yeah, you would be terrible at that. Oh, yeah. I was just like, I need to burn some time.

1286
01:43:00,040 --> 01:43:09,640
I'm going to try to do these two things. So I did Dragon's Back, The Hike, which is the reason I didn't do the art class

1287
01:43:09,640 --> 01:43:12,760
because I got off on the wrong bus stop for the hike. Oh.

1288
01:43:13,640 --> 01:43:17,640
And you did an extra hike? Or what? Yeah, kind of, actually.

1289
01:43:20,120 --> 01:43:26,840
It ended up being... No, no, no. Binky Draws says sucking at it is sort of the point of taking a class.

1290
01:43:26,840 --> 01:43:32,360
No, no, no, no. He would never be good at it. He could do nothing but practice calligraphy for the rest of his life

1291
01:43:32,360 --> 01:43:38,520
and he would still suck at it. I don't think there is anything that any person could be less talented at

1292
01:43:38,520 --> 01:43:40,840
than like art and him.

1293
01:43:41,560 --> 01:43:45,400
And to be clear, I'm right there with him. Like, I'm right there.

1294
01:43:45,400 --> 01:43:48,760
I was going to say, this isn't even that bad because... We're both awful.

1295
01:43:48,760 --> 01:43:53,960
I know he's not just targeting this at only me because I technically won all of the Tech Showdowns

1296
01:43:53,960 --> 01:43:57,320
except for when we went against Bob and Rod. Yeah, but that was like...

1297
01:43:57,320 --> 01:44:00,360
That was doomed. I mean, they were both terrible.

1298
01:44:00,360 --> 01:44:05,160
That was doomed. And the judging was just f***ed like that was whatever.

1299
01:44:05,160 --> 01:44:09,160
Yeah. I'm trying to find a...

1300
01:44:10,040 --> 01:44:14,440
You're trying to find which video of you walking through bushes is the right one?

1301
01:44:14,440 --> 01:44:17,880
So this was the trail that I was on for like a very extended period of time.

1302
01:44:17,880 --> 01:44:19,880
Okay, that looks like a trail, but was it?

1303
01:44:21,080 --> 01:44:28,120
You see how it is now where you like can't see the ground at all? Because clearly no one has been through there for like a very extended period of time.

1304
01:44:28,120 --> 01:44:34,280
Okay, so that's not a famous trail, that's for sure. No, and Dragon's Back is rather well-known.

1305
01:44:35,480 --> 01:44:40,040
Yeah, so that wasn't even on the map. And technically, when I was going through that section,

1306
01:44:40,040 --> 01:44:42,040
I was just hoping that it would work out.

1307
01:44:44,040 --> 01:44:49,000
Again, I got dropped off at like a camping barbecue area,

1308
01:44:50,040 --> 01:44:54,840
not the like Dragon's Back trail start. Nice. But I was like, I mean, it's up there.

1309
01:44:54,840 --> 01:44:58,840
And I saw like some gravel kind of coming out of the trees.

1310
01:44:58,840 --> 01:45:02,040
Nice. Not real gravel, just like, you know, straight rocks. Fake gravel.

1311
01:45:02,040 --> 01:45:05,240
It looked like maybe someone had pushed their way through the trees at some point.

1312
01:45:05,240 --> 01:45:09,240
And I was like, I will follow in the footsteps of this previous person. You're lucky you didn't die.

1313
01:45:09,240 --> 01:45:15,240
There's partway through the recording where I'm like, I'm very happy I'm wearing pants and stuff,

1314
01:45:15,240 --> 01:45:21,240
because there was like loads of bugs and other random things that I'm like waiting through

1315
01:45:21,240 --> 01:45:25,240
as I'm going through these bushes. I'm like, this is, yeah, this is bad.

1316
01:45:25,240 --> 01:45:27,240
So you really are lucky you didn't get lost.

1317
01:45:29,240 --> 01:45:33,240
Oh, I mean, I'm going up straight up from the road.

1318
01:45:33,240 --> 01:45:37,240
So if it was bad, I'll just turn around and go back to the road.

1319
01:45:37,240 --> 01:45:41,240
Yeah, I'm sure. I'm pretty sure those are famous last words.

1320
01:45:43,240 --> 01:45:49,240
It will be no problem if I just march into the jungle because I will just turn around and go out.

1321
01:45:49,240 --> 01:45:53,240
I mean, to be clear, I'm not familiar with where you were. Maybe it wasn't that big.

1322
01:45:53,240 --> 01:45:57,240
This is how dark the end of the hike was.

1323
01:45:57,240 --> 01:45:59,240
Okay.

1324
01:46:03,240 --> 01:46:07,240
For context, this screen is just effectively black.

1325
01:46:07,240 --> 01:46:11,240
Yeah. You shouldn't have done that.

1326
01:46:13,240 --> 01:46:17,240
You shouldn't have done that. Like at least probably about an hour into the hike.

1327
01:46:17,240 --> 01:46:21,240
I was having the thought of like, you know, it's weird. I'm in Hong Kong.

1328
01:46:21,240 --> 01:46:29,240
The population density is really high here. This is a like not a super complicated, like not very difficult hike.

1329
01:46:29,240 --> 01:46:33,240
It's just supposed to be mostly scenic. And it's very well known.

1330
01:46:33,240 --> 01:46:39,240
And I haven't seen anyone. And I have seen literally no people this entire time.

1331
01:46:39,240 --> 01:46:43,240
This is weird. I was sure I was on the right hike because I'm constantly seeing signs and stuff.

1332
01:46:43,240 --> 01:46:49,240
But I was like, why is no one here? And then for the last like half hour, I just can't see almost anything.

1333
01:46:49,240 --> 01:46:55,240
For the last particularly five minutes, I'm moving like very slow because I can't actually see the ground properly.

1334
01:46:55,240 --> 01:47:00,240
I'm trying to make sure I don't fall. You realize if you die, I lose like four people, right?

1335
01:47:00,240 --> 01:47:04,240
Yeah, probably a little more than that.

1336
01:47:04,240 --> 01:47:08,240
I made it. Everything's fine. What are all your different roles?

1337
01:47:08,240 --> 01:47:12,240
Okay, so I lose my CTO, you know, head of Labs.

1338
01:47:12,240 --> 01:47:16,240
So five departments. My friend. You have five departments.

1339
01:47:16,240 --> 01:47:20,240
That's ridiculous. I don't want to talk about it. We're working on shrinking that.

1340
01:47:20,240 --> 01:47:24,240
Okay, what else do we want to talk about today? Yeah, so I didn't.

1341
01:47:24,240 --> 01:47:28,240
The other really annoying thing that happened while I was there was I wanted to do laundry.

1342
01:47:28,240 --> 01:47:32,240
The hotel didn't have laundry. So I asked like, where can I go do laundry?

1343
01:47:32,240 --> 01:47:36,240
I think it's my fault that he needed to do laundry. So that's pretty funny. Do tell the story.

1344
01:47:36,240 --> 01:47:42,240
It's your fault? Yeah, didn't I drag you out when you were supposed to be doing laundry?

1345
01:47:42,240 --> 01:47:48,240
But yeah, I had to do laundry. They said, okay, no, the hotel did have laundry, but it took 12 hours.

1346
01:47:48,240 --> 01:47:52,240
They're like, yeah, we pick it up at seven in the morning for whatever reason. And then we drop it off at seven at night.

1347
01:47:52,240 --> 01:47:56,240
I was like, well, I have to leave before then. So that's not an option.

1348
01:47:56,240 --> 01:48:02,240
I have to do laundry that I can I do. And she's the lady at the desk is like, oh, well, there's 24 hour coin operated laundry.

1349
01:48:02,240 --> 01:48:06,240
I was like, yeah, of course. That's like everywhere in the world. That's how I do it in Taiwan.

1350
01:48:06,240 --> 01:48:10,240
So that's good. And she's like, it's coin operated though. Do you have any coins?

1351
01:48:10,240 --> 01:48:14,240
It's like, no, she's like, do you have cash? I was like, yeah, she's like, okay, I can convert your cash for you before you go.

1352
01:48:14,240 --> 01:48:18,240
Here it is on a map. Cool. She converted my cash.

1353
01:48:18,240 --> 01:48:24,240
I went, turns out it is not a coin operated laundry.

1354
01:48:24,240 --> 01:48:28,240
There are none, by the way. Oh, nice.

1355
01:48:28,240 --> 01:48:32,240
The place that I went to only works off these things called octopus cards. Oh, okay. Are you sure it's not like a social credit card?

1356
01:48:32,240 --> 01:48:36,240
It might get it. Social credit card.

1357
01:48:36,240 --> 01:48:40,240
And spend some social credit card because you're not allowed to do laundry unless you're a good person.

1358
01:48:40,240 --> 01:48:44,240
Yeah. Hong Kong crackdown.

1359
01:48:44,240 --> 01:48:50,240
Yeah. I went to go get one of those octopus card things.

1360
01:48:50,240 --> 01:48:54,240
You can buy an octopus card with a credit card. First 7-Eleven I go to doesn't have any in stock.

1361
01:48:54,240 --> 01:48:58,240
The corner stores are much less frequent there than in Taiwan.

1362
01:48:58,240 --> 01:49:04,240
So I had to go quite a bit to get the next one. The next one had them in stock, but you can't load them at the 7-Elevens with your credit card.

1363
01:49:04,240 --> 01:49:08,240
You can buy the card, but you can't put any money on the card.

1364
01:49:08,240 --> 01:49:12,240
You can only use cash. Oh, no, that's the thing in Taiwan too.

1365
01:49:12,240 --> 01:49:16,240
You have to use cash to load the card. I couldn't figure out why.

1366
01:49:16,240 --> 01:49:20,240
That's not true. One of the family mart told us that.

1367
01:49:20,240 --> 01:49:24,240
I don't know, man. Maybe at the family mart, I don't know what to tell you.

1368
01:49:24,240 --> 01:49:28,240
Yeah. Maybe at the family mart, you can't. I don't know. There's elsewhere you can for sure.

1369
01:49:28,240 --> 01:49:32,240
So they're like, oh yeah, we only take cash.

1370
01:49:32,240 --> 01:49:40,240
So I'm like, all right. So I pull out my insane amount of coins that I have and they're like, oh no cash bills.

1371
01:49:40,240 --> 01:49:46,240
I'm like, are you actually kidding me?

1372
01:49:46,240 --> 01:49:52,240
Luckily, I had 150 whatever Hong Kong dollar HKD bill.

1373
01:49:52,240 --> 01:49:58,240
So I gave them that. I had no idea how much the laundry would cost and I convinced them

1374
01:49:58,240 --> 01:50:04,240
by probably being very annoying to take at least 50 total Hong Kong dollars worth of coins.

1375
01:50:04,240 --> 01:50:10,240
So I was able to get 100 Hong Kong dollars on my card, which is not a lot of money.

1376
01:50:10,240 --> 01:50:14,240
And I went back to the laundry mat and was very lucky that it was,

1377
01:50:14,240 --> 01:50:18,240
I think it was like 78 to do a wash and dry cycle.

1378
01:50:18,240 --> 01:50:22,240
So I was like, nice. So I left the hotel.

1379
01:50:22,240 --> 01:50:26,240
You could tell it was pretty late when I was hiking. I left the hotel to do this at like 1130.

1380
01:50:26,240 --> 01:50:30,240
I didn't get back to the hotel until like three.

1381
01:50:30,240 --> 01:50:34,240
You're ridiculous because of this whole problem.

1382
01:50:34,240 --> 01:50:38,240
But it was an adventure, right? I mean, your whole trip was basically an adventure.

1383
01:50:38,240 --> 01:50:42,240
It was not the best trip of all time.

1384
01:50:42,240 --> 01:50:48,240
I'll say that, especially when paired with like one of the most like lackluster computexes ever.

1385
01:50:48,240 --> 01:50:52,240
Yeah. There was really good parts of the trip.

1386
01:50:52,240 --> 01:50:56,240
But just not most of it.

1387
01:50:56,240 --> 01:51:01,240
Oh, speaking of computex on Taiwan show last week,

1388
01:51:01,240 --> 01:51:05,240
I launched into a whole thing about how like I gave Intel the gears

1389
01:51:05,240 --> 01:51:10,240
for lack of availability of their GPUs in the US at MSRP.

1390
01:51:10,240 --> 01:51:15,240
And something that I had actually intended to highlight as part of that segment,

1391
01:51:15,240 --> 01:51:22,240
but I was pretty tired and stuff, was that even though there aren't any B580s for MSRP,

1392
01:51:22,240 --> 01:51:27,240
there is technically a card in stock on Newegg for under $300.

1393
01:51:28,240 --> 01:51:32,240
B580 with 12 gigs of DDR6 at $299.

1394
01:51:32,240 --> 01:51:38,240
Yeah, it's not an MSRP, but it's finally happening.

1395
01:51:38,240 --> 01:51:41,240
Kind of coming down a little bit. It's finally happening.

1396
01:51:41,240 --> 01:51:45,240
And Onyx is not as random as I thought.

1397
01:51:45,240 --> 01:51:52,240
It is alleged that Onyx is affiliated in some way with PC Partner.

1398
01:51:53,240 --> 01:51:59,240
So PC Partner is also affiliated with Sapphire Technology and Zotac.

1399
01:51:59,240 --> 01:52:02,240
My computer knows what I like.

1400
01:52:02,240 --> 01:52:05,240
Yes. Yeah, not that kind of Onyx.

1401
01:52:05,240 --> 01:52:09,240
Yeah, this is according to Tom's hardware. They're not actually a new player in the AIB market.

1402
01:52:09,240 --> 01:52:14,240
There's some kind of relationship that they may or may not allegedly have

1403
01:52:14,240 --> 01:52:18,240
with PC Partner Group who have been around forever.

1404
01:52:18,240 --> 01:52:30,240
In other news, prices for G-Force RTX 5090 cards are starting to dip below MSRP in parts of Europe.

1405
01:52:30,240 --> 01:52:42,240
Videocards.net reports prices from a major finish reseller have dropped 2% below the 2,339 euro MSRP

1406
01:52:42,240 --> 01:52:46,240
and mentions anecdotally similar price drops in other countries.

1407
01:52:46,240 --> 01:52:53,240
Our discussion question is, do you think this is a sign of broader pricing correction or just a regional oddity?

1408
01:52:53,240 --> 01:53:06,240
Well, I can tell you, I don't remember what the source was, but allocate gaming GPUs to B300 or something like that.

1409
01:53:06,240 --> 01:53:16,240
Yeah, I don't know what the source is, but I did read today that NVIDIA was apparently looking to allocate more of their production

1410
01:53:16,240 --> 01:53:20,240
to their upcoming Blackwell AI accelerators and take some away from G-Force.

1411
01:53:20,240 --> 01:53:23,240
So that is a rumor.

1412
01:53:23,240 --> 01:53:26,240
That is a rumor. I don't know if that's true. But it makes sense.

1413
01:53:26,240 --> 01:53:30,240
Yeah, you know how it is with NVIDIA.

1414
01:53:30,240 --> 01:53:37,240
So anyway, good guy Intel. I still haven't heard what their plan is for how they're going to get down to MSRP.

1415
01:53:37,240 --> 01:53:44,240
They do still owe me that, but things are getting marginally better out there.

1416
01:53:44,240 --> 01:53:47,240
Oh, so marginally. So marginally.

1417
01:53:47,240 --> 01:53:51,240
Do you guys want to talk about robot boxing while I run into the washroom?

1418
01:53:51,240 --> 01:53:54,240
Cool. Good chat. Real Steel is real.

1419
01:53:54,240 --> 01:53:57,240
Oh, got it. Robot boxing?

1420
01:53:57,240 --> 01:54:00,240
I think I saw this video.

1421
01:54:00,240 --> 01:54:07,240
Oh, I assumed this was about the new steel tariffs, but okay.

1422
01:54:07,240 --> 01:54:11,240
Sorry Linus. It's not about the new steel tariffs, which is great.

1423
01:54:11,240 --> 01:54:21,240
I'm happy to hear that. A couple of days ago, CMG China media group heavily inspired by Linus media group hosted the first humanoid robot fighting tournament.

1424
01:54:21,240 --> 01:54:28,240
Sick. The robots are bipedal, meaning they walk on two legs and are human controlled from the sidelines.

1425
01:54:28,240 --> 01:54:33,240
They still use some autonomous controls for balancing and regaining balance in case of a stumble.

1426
01:54:33,240 --> 01:54:41,240
That totally makes sense. So they like kind of keep themselves up, but the human decides when to like punch, I'm assuming.

1427
01:54:41,240 --> 01:54:46,240
Oh, so it's just kind of like battle bots, but they stand up.

1428
01:54:46,240 --> 01:54:50,240
I think so. Yeah. Oh, that's not as exciting.

1429
01:54:50,240 --> 01:54:54,240
What did you expect? That they were just AI fighting robots.

1430
01:54:54,240 --> 01:54:57,240
Oh, just fully? Just 100%. We might get there eventually.

1431
01:54:57,240 --> 01:55:02,240
Give another couple of weeks. Yeah.

1432
01:55:02,240 --> 01:55:05,240
The box in this particular fight, they're surprisingly light.

1433
01:55:05,240 --> 01:55:19,240
The box in this particular fight were the company Unitree Robotics flagship models, which stand at 1.3 meters, or 4 foot 4, and weigh 35 kilograms or 77 pounds.

1434
01:55:19,240 --> 01:55:26,240
I mean, the fact that they can maintain standing up by themselves while just punching at things is pretty sick.

1435
01:55:26,240 --> 01:55:30,240
Yeah. You want to throw the video up there?

1436
01:55:30,240 --> 01:55:35,240
Sure. The first-length timestamp.

1437
01:55:35,240 --> 01:55:48,240
Cool. Like, you know, sure, maybe the humans make them punch each other, but the fact that they can hold their own...

1438
01:55:48,240 --> 01:55:53,240
It's not QOP, right? Like, they're definitely not controlling its ability to stand.

1439
01:55:53,240 --> 01:55:58,240
Oh, yeah. They got locked up. I'm wondering how much of the derpiness is the...

1440
01:55:58,240 --> 01:56:03,240
Oh! I'm wondering how much of the derpiness is the human controllers being bad?

1441
01:56:03,240 --> 01:56:09,240
Like, because if you go back to where this started, like, one of them just faces the wrong way.

1442
01:56:09,240 --> 01:56:13,240
Like, he's literally just facing the wrong way for like a very extended period of time.

1443
01:56:13,240 --> 01:56:16,240
Oh, yeah. Maybe it's just turn around. There we go.

1444
01:56:16,240 --> 01:56:19,240
Now they're doing it. Kind of cool.

1445
01:56:19,240 --> 01:56:25,240
Interesting. It's going to be great for, like, control systems.

1446
01:56:25,240 --> 01:56:28,240
Go back to the camera here.

1447
01:56:28,240 --> 01:56:34,240
I'm skimming the comments, and one of the top comments is, to be honest, this degree of camera control is already very...

1448
01:56:34,240 --> 01:56:38,240
Sorry, body control is already very excellent. Yeah, I think that's quite incredible.

1449
01:56:38,240 --> 01:56:41,240
That is pretty legitimate.

1450
01:56:41,240 --> 01:56:44,240
I don't think anyone's really going to...

1451
01:56:44,240 --> 01:56:47,240
Like, it's an interesting show of your tech.

1452
01:56:47,240 --> 01:56:52,240
It's not surprising to me that these are two of the same company,

1453
01:56:52,240 --> 01:56:56,240
because they're probably trying to show their tech off. I suspect this is more advertising more than anything.

1454
01:56:56,240 --> 01:57:00,240
I don't think people are going to get into watching this too much.

1455
01:57:00,240 --> 01:57:04,240
No, give them glizzies.

1456
01:57:04,240 --> 01:57:08,240
Give them a little gun, and then set them in a ring.

1457
01:57:08,240 --> 01:57:12,240
And now we're talking. I want military contractors on this.

1458
01:57:12,240 --> 01:57:18,240
I don't really push the technology forward. I think if you started including, like, shoulder-mounted rockets, people would watch.

1459
01:57:18,240 --> 01:57:22,240
Oh, hell yeah. Just a full sprint. It needs, like, intense explosions.

1460
01:57:22,240 --> 01:57:26,240
Spikes on the knees and the... Running on the walls while shooting rockets off the shoulders?

1461
01:57:26,240 --> 01:57:29,240
Yeah, like, people are going to watch that. Oh, yeah.

1462
01:57:29,240 --> 01:57:32,240
But unless it's, like, an insane spectacle,

1463
01:57:32,240 --> 01:57:36,240
I think people only really care if other humans are involved,

1464
01:57:36,240 --> 01:57:41,240
and, like, as screwy as this sounds, experiencing pain and loss,

1465
01:57:41,240 --> 01:57:48,240
because it's the, like, the drama of combat is a thing that has enticed people forever.

1466
01:57:48,240 --> 01:57:53,240
But, yeah, just having two machines clank into each other,

1467
01:57:53,240 --> 01:57:57,240
like, I'm not surprised there wasn't much of an in-person audience, you know?

1468
01:57:57,240 --> 01:58:00,240
Yeah, I think so. Yeah.

1469
01:58:00,240 --> 01:58:05,240
I mean, Boston Dynamics is going to come in with their creepy new one, maybe?

1470
01:58:05,240 --> 01:58:08,240
Boston Dynamics has been kind of weird for a while.

1471
01:58:09,240 --> 01:58:12,240
It feels like, it feels like they kind of fell off in a weird way.

1472
01:58:12,240 --> 01:58:15,240
Like, if you look at the stuff that they were releasing quite a while ago,

1473
01:58:15,240 --> 01:58:18,240
compared to the stuff that they're releasing now, it's like, yeah.

1474
01:58:18,240 --> 01:58:20,240
I think you slowed down a little bit.

1475
01:58:21,240 --> 01:58:24,240
Unless they're doing some of their stuff more behind doors.

1476
01:58:26,240 --> 01:58:30,240
Discussion question. Can we buy a pet robot dog for the office?

1477
01:58:30,240 --> 01:58:33,240
I'm assuming I know, oh, this is from the same company.

1478
01:58:33,240 --> 01:58:37,240
This isn't Boston Dynamics. Yeah, see, like, other people are doing the same stuff they're doing.

1479
01:58:38,240 --> 01:58:42,240
Oh, yeah. They're getting terrifyingly cheap.

1480
01:58:42,240 --> 01:58:46,240
They're getting, like, not insanely expensive.

1481
01:58:46,240 --> 01:58:50,240
Without the controller is, like, no money.

1482
01:58:50,240 --> 01:58:53,240
Without the control. How are you even supposed to do anything with it?

1483
01:58:53,240 --> 01:58:59,240
I don't know. I don't know. Oh, the controller's 250 bucks.

1484
01:58:59,240 --> 01:59:02,240
There are Xbox controllers that are more expensive than that.

1485
01:59:03,240 --> 01:59:07,240
An air? What is the air? It doesn't change the picture.

1486
01:59:07,240 --> 01:59:10,240
All right. Well, yeah, that's pretty nuts.

1487
01:59:10,240 --> 01:59:17,240
I don't like our future. Another question is, can you brainstorm other sports you would love to see robots compete

1488
01:59:17,240 --> 01:59:21,240
in that could be on par or more interesting than a human doing it?

1489
01:59:21,240 --> 01:59:24,240
That's my, the whole crux of my issue is I don't think it's, like, basically ever

1490
01:59:24,240 --> 01:59:27,240
more interesting than a human doing it. Because there's so much more drama.

1491
01:59:27,240 --> 01:59:32,240
Strong disagree. It's like space travel. Well, once they're, like, people don't care unless there's people in the rocket.

1492
01:59:32,240 --> 01:59:36,240
Well, they're going to have to hurt each other. Like, it's got to be violent.

1493
01:59:36,240 --> 01:59:39,240
Yeah. Give them robot blood.

1494
01:59:39,240 --> 01:59:47,240
If the robots, like, are, like, throwing parts and leaking coolant and stuff, like,

1495
01:59:47,240 --> 01:59:50,240
in ways that, you know, we, like, if we could satisfy that.

1496
01:59:50,240 --> 01:59:53,240
The problem is gladiator. Gladiator.

1497
01:59:53,240 --> 01:59:58,240
Yeah, gladiator. Like, bloodlust that we have. The problem is, robots don't, like, work that way.

1498
01:59:58,240 --> 02:00:02,240
Well, yeah. So you'd have to, like, make it be that way.

1499
02:00:02,240 --> 02:00:05,240
Yeah. Like, fake. So?

1500
02:00:05,240 --> 02:00:08,240
No, no, no. It's not about the fakeness. People love stuff like that.

1501
02:00:08,240 --> 02:00:11,240
I want to see them, like, sprinting around a Colosseum, like, trying to knife each other.

1502
02:00:11,240 --> 02:00:17,240
We were talking, like, if it was more, yeah, if there was, like, explosions and stuff involved

1503
02:00:17,240 --> 02:00:20,240
and it was faster. Give them guns. Give them guns.

1504
02:00:20,240 --> 02:00:23,240
That it might be interesting for people. But I don't know.

1505
02:00:23,240 --> 02:00:26,240
Like, the space travel one was very interesting to me.

1506
02:00:26,240 --> 02:00:30,240
Like, if there isn't a human on the rocket, people, like, don't watch and don't care.

1507
02:00:30,240 --> 02:00:36,240
This is true. Yeah, but we celebrated, like, the Mars Rover birthday and then people were crying when

1508
02:00:36,240 --> 02:00:42,240
it was... Yeah. I mean, I think those people are very emotionally invested.

1509
02:00:42,240 --> 02:00:45,240
They're, they're empaths. Yes.

1510
02:00:45,240 --> 02:00:48,940
Yeah, there's definitely going to be riots about robot rights for this.

1511
02:00:48,940 --> 02:00:52,240
I love how hard they tried to make it look like anyone was watching this.

1512
02:00:52,240 --> 02:00:56,740
Yeah, there's, like, 10 minutes. Like, with all the lights and, like, everything else blacked out and then they have the, like,

1513
02:00:56,740 --> 02:01:02,740
a couple rows of people that are probably, like, the siblings of the, you know...

1514
02:01:02,740 --> 02:01:08,740
And various employees. There are parts of this that are really impressive and I do think that once these evolve a little

1515
02:01:08,740 --> 02:01:15,580
bit, like, I could be interested in this from, like, like, battle bots exists.

1516
02:01:15,580 --> 02:01:24,820
People clearly like watching robots fight each other. Battle bots is, in my opinion, a fascination in people's ability to engineer wacky little

1517
02:01:24,820 --> 02:01:29,820
robots. Yes. Not very statically humanoid-looking things just punching each other.

1518
02:01:29,820 --> 02:01:33,620
Who can glue a knife to the top of an RC car the best?

1519
02:01:33,620 --> 02:01:37,820
Who can make it spin at, like, some insane RPM cylinder when it hits something else?

1520
02:01:37,820 --> 02:01:43,220
It just explodes. Like, it's... So we need that, but humanoid robots, that would, that would really push the technology

1521
02:01:43,220 --> 02:01:46,220
forward. You need Grievous. Yeah.

1522
02:01:46,220 --> 02:01:49,820
Yeah, I mean, I'd watch the heck out of two Grievouses fighting each other. Oh, my God.

1523
02:01:49,820 --> 02:01:53,820
I would say... Yeah, four of the Hacksmiths.

1524
02:01:53,820 --> 02:01:57,380
Yeah. Hacksmith versus Boston Dynamics.

1525
02:01:57,380 --> 02:02:04,740
I'm in. Skunkworks. Or, like, one Hacksmith lightsaber Grievous versus 100, you know, little, little, like,

1526
02:02:04,740 --> 02:02:08,820
little horse-sized ducks or duck-sized horses, horse robots or something, you know?

1527
02:02:08,820 --> 02:02:13,220
Give the dog robots, like, teeth. Turn them into the gladiatorial lion.

1528
02:02:13,220 --> 02:02:17,580
Like, I think you could, I think you could come up with, I think you could come up with interesting angles for it.

1529
02:02:17,580 --> 02:02:20,820
100 robot Grievouses versus one robot gorilla.

1530
02:02:20,820 --> 02:02:23,820
Yeah. Now we're talking. Yeah.

1531
02:02:23,820 --> 02:02:26,820
They're pretty boned. I don't know. They don't feel pain.

1532
02:02:26,820 --> 02:02:30,220
They have lightsabers, because I think the gorilla's pretty boned.

1533
02:02:30,220 --> 02:02:36,540
We'll have to see. A robot, like, a proportionally scaled-up robot gorilla might be a lot to deal with.

1534
02:02:36,540 --> 02:02:40,900
But it's made of titanium and has, like, a retractable spike hand.

1535
02:02:40,900 --> 02:02:44,820
Proportionally scaled Grievous would be big. Like, would any of... Be so spindly.

1536
02:02:44,820 --> 02:02:49,500
He has four lightsabers. Who are you talking about? I'm deciding in this context that Grievous is more human-sized.

1537
02:02:49,500 --> 02:02:52,500
Four chainsaws. How about that? Grievous-sized.

1538
02:02:52,500 --> 02:02:55,500
Duck-sized. Grievous. Grievous.

1539
02:02:55,500 --> 02:02:58,500
Grievous posts. I am. Yeah.

1540
02:02:58,500 --> 02:03:04,860
All right. What are we... I hope I don't move them further.

1541
02:03:04,860 --> 02:03:08,860
Updates. This is cool. There's some good news for Microsoft.

1542
02:03:08,860 --> 02:03:14,180
Microsoft is opening applications to third-party developers for a private preview of the Windows

1543
02:03:14,180 --> 02:03:18,620
Update Orchestration Program, which will allow Windows to manage updates automatically

1544
02:03:18,620 --> 02:03:23,300
for any apps, drivers, system components, and management tools, not just ones from the

1545
02:03:23,300 --> 02:03:30,180
Microsoft Store. Built on the Windows Update Stack, this new update model will handle restart requirements,

1546
02:03:30,180 --> 02:03:35,660
scheduling, and notifications without devs needing to build a custom solution.

1547
02:03:35,660 --> 02:03:39,340
Discussion question. Is this something you want? Any concerns?

1548
02:03:39,340 --> 02:03:43,100
Yes. This is something I personally want.

1549
02:03:43,100 --> 02:03:50,380
Yeah, sure. The fact that I ever have to go digging for a driver on Windows is mind-blowing to me,

1550
02:03:50,380 --> 02:03:55,020
that this hasn't been a focus, and it clearly has been a focus.

1551
02:03:55,020 --> 02:04:00,660
It just hasn't been enough of a focus.

1552
02:04:00,660 --> 02:04:09,100
Even on a brand-new system, occasionally you'll get some weird, oh man, it's escaping me right

1553
02:04:09,100 --> 02:04:13,380
now. Why is it escaping me? Why is there a engine driver or something like that?

1554
02:04:13,380 --> 02:04:17,540
This is an Intel CPU that they're shifting millions of a year.

1555
02:04:17,540 --> 02:04:21,740
This should just be included in Windows. What are we even doing?

1556
02:04:21,740 --> 02:04:24,820
What are we even doing here?

1557
02:04:24,820 --> 02:04:32,180
I am super down. I have some people saying, hey, drivers, I'm into applications, not so much.

1558
02:04:32,180 --> 02:04:35,340
That is fair, but I think it really depends on the context.

1559
02:04:35,340 --> 02:04:40,620
If I still have a pirated Adobe CS6 or something like that, obviously I don't want Windows touching

1560
02:04:41,460 --> 02:04:49,820
it, but I think for a lot of stuff, this is basically what enthusiasts are doing already

1561
02:04:49,820 --> 02:04:55,580
with stuff like Chocolaty, where they're just automating the updating of their apps through

1562
02:04:55,580 --> 02:04:59,820
a package manager. If that could just happen, yeah.

1563
02:04:59,820 --> 02:05:04,860
This feels like a natural evolution. Jarod Diver says it needs to be opt-in for both, to totally, totally agree.

1564
02:05:04,860 --> 02:05:09,340
Sure, fine, it can be opt-in or whatever. I would even be fine with this being opt-out, to be honest.

1565
02:05:09,460 --> 02:05:13,940
Yeah, actually, I think I'd be fine with this one being opt-out, but as long as you have

1566
02:05:13,940 --> 02:05:17,020
the ability to turn it off, I think that's fine, and I think it's a power feature user

1567
02:05:17,020 --> 02:05:25,740
to turn this off, honestly. Most people generally, I think, benefit from their apps being up to date.

1568
02:05:25,740 --> 02:05:30,500
I'm into it. I'm into it. Me too.

1569
02:05:30,500 --> 02:05:35,220
Discord ponders the orb. It hungers for users to click on more ads.

1570
02:05:35,220 --> 02:05:41,180
It has launched the orb program, which will reward users with orbs, or a digital currency,

1571
02:05:41,180 --> 02:05:47,100
of course. They can use to buy stuff from Discord's shop, like customization options and credits

1572
02:05:47,100 --> 02:05:53,940
for Nitro, the platform's premium subscription, currently only available to a small group

1573
02:05:53,940 --> 02:05:57,100
of Discorders. Discordians, maybe? Dis...

1574
02:05:57,100 --> 02:06:05,140
I don't know. Users can earn orbs by participating in play quests, which currently includes interacting

1575
02:06:05,140 --> 02:06:09,020
with advertiser content like streams of people playing sponsored games.

1576
02:06:09,020 --> 02:06:15,540
The program is part of Discord's larger move towards monetizing the platform more effectively,

1577
02:06:15,540 --> 02:06:21,460
or practically at all, because I swear Nitro has never kept them afloat, but whatever,

1578
02:06:21,460 --> 02:06:26,020
which will include video ads in the mobile app.

1579
02:06:26,020 --> 02:06:30,420
Discord has said it's closely tracking the awareness, recall, and intent of users in

1580
02:06:30,420 --> 02:06:34,780
regards to those ads. So how long will Discord last?

1581
02:06:35,420 --> 02:06:38,660
Discussion question is, is this a justifiable move, and it's like...

1582
02:06:38,660 --> 02:06:42,940
Well, yeah. I mean, I don't think they're making money, so... No, so they have to do something.

1583
02:06:42,940 --> 02:06:52,300
Something has to give. It's amazing to me how often we ask the question of, hey, can they do that when we're not paying

1584
02:06:52,300 --> 02:06:55,540
for the service? Even when you are paying for the service?

1585
02:06:55,540 --> 02:07:02,460
Like, I don't know. I don't know what to tell you. Well, when you're paying for the service, like, no, they can't do that.

1586
02:07:02,460 --> 02:07:06,660
Like that sucks. When I'm paying for Netflix and they start putting ads all over it, no, I think that

1587
02:07:06,660 --> 02:07:10,060
blows. Unless in their contract it says that it has no ads.

1588
02:07:10,060 --> 02:07:16,700
Well, they can. Yeah, no, they can do it. But no, personally, I do think there's a big difference between using a free service and

1589
02:07:16,700 --> 02:07:20,180
then whining about the ads a bit versus a paid service.

1590
02:07:20,180 --> 02:07:24,980
Offer a discounted rate with ads, and then just crank the rates up like crazy so that

1591
02:07:24,980 --> 02:07:31,100
the lower discounted rate with ads is just as expensive as it used to be, because I'm

1592
02:07:31,100 --> 02:07:38,140
pretty sure that's basically what happened. This sucks, but I'm just, look, I'm just saying there's a difference between using something

1593
02:07:38,140 --> 02:07:41,140
for... I'm paying for Netflix. Leave now.

1594
02:07:41,140 --> 02:07:44,980
There's a difference between using something for free and whining about it having ads versus

1595
02:07:44,980 --> 02:07:48,220
paying for something and then complaining that it has ads.

1596
02:07:48,220 --> 02:07:57,380
Those are not the same thing to me. Yeah. Like, honestly, I would love if Microsoft just formalized Windows being free.

1597
02:07:57,380 --> 02:08:02,420
Like you can download it for free and install it with no product key and use it basically

1598
02:08:02,540 --> 02:08:08,540
forever. I'd love it if they just formalized that, made the free version, loaded up with ads.

1599
02:08:08,540 --> 02:08:12,540
I don't care. And a lot of people wouldn't care. They would just use it.

1600
02:08:12,540 --> 02:08:19,900
And then if I'm paying for it, get, be, jeweled, and all your crap out of it.

1601
02:08:19,900 --> 02:08:23,820
And if it costs more, honestly, I think I'd be okay with that too.

1602
02:08:23,820 --> 02:08:30,380
Would you pay double? Yeah. Would you pay pro price, like $250 for a completely clean Windows?

1603
02:08:30,380 --> 02:08:35,420
Just express how much better life would be if there was a Windows, but it's not actually

1604
02:08:35,420 --> 02:08:45,300
an edition. Like actually pro. And they got rid of, like, give me space pinball back and solitaire and some stuff like that.

1605
02:08:45,300 --> 02:08:52,620
Just build it into the operating system like it used to be. Don't make me go through stupid Microsoft store games for Windows junk in order to get

1606
02:08:52,620 --> 02:08:55,860
there. Give me Clip Champ. Are you asking for bloat?

1607
02:08:55,860 --> 02:09:00,340
But don't call it Clip Champ and don't make it so that it has to interface with the Internet

1608
02:09:00,460 --> 02:09:05,420
for some weird reason. And don't make it so there's like a subscription to it and other crap like that.

1609
02:09:05,420 --> 02:09:09,260
Just make it for free, even though I'm paying a more premium price for the software.

1610
02:09:09,260 --> 02:09:13,260
Oh, I see. Get the stupid ads out of there. Oh, yeah, but the antitrust.

1611
02:09:13,260 --> 02:09:18,740
Stop search looking on the fricking Internet when I type anything into search ever.

1612
02:09:18,740 --> 02:09:22,580
That should never work. But they, I mean, they can't integrate too much stuff.

1613
02:09:22,580 --> 02:09:25,780
That's literally what they got antitrusted for. So I don't think, like, asking for it.

1614
02:09:25,780 --> 02:09:29,300
Well, they integrated Clip Champ. Okay. Yes.

1615
02:09:29,340 --> 02:09:33,100
Well, it's a computer, I think. Is it not?

1616
02:09:33,100 --> 02:09:40,380
Oh, yeah. Well, mine just says no results because search is f***ing worthless.

1617
02:09:40,380 --> 02:09:49,300
I tried to open it and it wants me to sign in. Ah, like stop just being so bad at so many things.

1618
02:09:49,300 --> 02:09:53,980
Oh, man. Luke, does your laptop not do the web search?

1619
02:09:53,980 --> 02:09:59,060
I don't. It won't do any search. Clip Champ at all.

1620
02:09:59,060 --> 02:10:05,380
Okay. It just has no results. I'm pretty sure it's installed because I think it's installed by default.

1621
02:10:05,380 --> 02:10:08,380
Is it not? Because I may have new... Why does he have it?

1622
02:10:08,380 --> 02:10:18,660
I may have neutered these and maybe I didn't neuter yours properly. Dude, I was working on a video before this and I was trying to open FrameView so that

1623
02:10:18,660 --> 02:10:25,380
I could have an FPS counter on my gaming capture and it opened, you know, and everything

1624
02:10:25,380 --> 02:10:28,820
was fine and then we had to reboot the system for some reason and I searched for FrameView

1625
02:10:28,820 --> 02:10:35,300
and it couldn't find it. And then I closed the start menu, literally I typed exactly all of it.

1626
02:10:35,300 --> 02:10:39,420
I typed the entirety of FrameView and then Jordan was like, no, it's installed, we were

1627
02:10:39,420 --> 02:10:42,980
just using it. I was like, yeah, no, no, I know, I know, you're 100% right.

1628
02:10:42,980 --> 02:10:47,020
And then I clicked and went into like recent applications and it was totally there.

1629
02:10:47,020 --> 02:10:50,540
And then we... I think we had to close the game and start to get...

1630
02:10:50,540 --> 02:10:58,900
I don't know, we did something and then we searched for it again and it was there and it's like, oh my God, that is not how a search index is supposed to work.

1631
02:10:58,900 --> 02:11:02,140
It should be consistent. It should work every time.

1632
02:11:02,140 --> 02:11:06,100
I don't know, man.

1633
02:11:06,100 --> 02:11:11,260
Microsoft has been... I've been up talking about Microsoft or something, talking about Discord, but yes, I don't know.

1634
02:11:11,260 --> 02:11:15,940
Microsoft has been frustrating me a lot for a while now. Like Teams is...

1635
02:11:15,940 --> 02:11:21,860
It's frustrating because Google screwed up so hard with chat.

1636
02:11:21,860 --> 02:11:25,340
Like I can't even express how insane that was.

1637
02:11:25,340 --> 02:11:31,300
And then for some reason, they let Salesforce buy Slack, I will never understand.

1638
02:11:31,300 --> 02:11:34,860
Because if they just bought Slack and just integrated it into Google Workspace, it would

1639
02:11:34,860 --> 02:11:38,780
be GG, but they just didn't do it. So they're just losing.

1640
02:11:38,780 --> 02:11:45,140
They're constantly losing. More and more people are going to Office 365 because it's way cheaper and you get, in a

1641
02:11:45,140 --> 02:11:50,980
lot of people's view, more stuff because Google Chat is not a proper replacement for Slack

1642
02:11:50,980 --> 02:11:54,500
or Teams. I just don't believe it.

1643
02:11:54,500 --> 02:12:05,940
If it was, more people would use it. And then Teams is so bad and it's so bad for reasons that are so obvious.

1644
02:12:05,940 --> 02:12:09,500
I went to send you a scheduled message because I knew you were already back home and I'm

1645
02:12:09,500 --> 02:12:13,380
still on Taiwan time.

1646
02:12:13,380 --> 02:12:18,100
And I send the scheduled message and as far as Teams is communicating to me, it just sent

1647
02:12:18,100 --> 02:12:22,660
the message. It didn't schedule it. It shows the message is fully sent.

1648
02:12:22,660 --> 02:12:27,900
I have literally accidentally bugged people off hours because I thought my scheduled

1649
02:12:27,900 --> 02:12:35,700
message didn't work properly. You're like apologizing. And then I accidentally, yeah, this has been a problem for so long.

1650
02:12:35,700 --> 02:12:40,820
If you go to send a message to a group, like a new group of people, like I was messaging

1651
02:12:40,820 --> 02:12:45,820
you and AJ the other day, I couldn't at tag either of you because the group doesn't exist

1652
02:12:45,820 --> 02:12:49,820
yet. So it can't find the members of the group when I'm sending the message.

1653
02:12:49,820 --> 02:12:55,780
So why can't you schedule a message to people that you don't have a group chat with yet?

1654
02:12:55,780 --> 02:13:00,980
Why? When I attach things, why do I have to wait for it to upload before I can press the send

1655
02:13:00,980 --> 02:13:07,380
button? Slack has had this working for years. You click the upload, you drag the drop the uploads over, it starts uploading, you press

1656
02:13:07,380 --> 02:13:10,620
send and it's just like, cool, I'll send the message when the upload's done.

1657
02:13:10,620 --> 02:13:15,300
Some of this stuff has logical reasons, like the one where you're not able to schedule

1658
02:13:15,300 --> 02:13:19,380
to a group that hasn't existed before. That could have like anti-spam reasons.

1659
02:13:19,380 --> 02:13:23,420
If it was an application that wasn't a paid application for professional organizations

1660
02:13:23,420 --> 02:13:30,260
that pay for it, like if we were talking about Skype, yeah, I can understand why spammers

1661
02:13:30,260 --> 02:13:37,260
could use something like that. I have sent an email before to a group of people that in the email I requested, do not

1662
02:13:37,260 --> 02:13:43,740
respond to this email, respond on Teams. I don't want to ping you right now, but I can't schedule this message.

1663
02:13:43,740 --> 02:13:48,620
So read this email and then don't respond to it and go to Teams because I don't want

1664
02:13:48,620 --> 02:13:54,060
this to be done in email. Like just crazy.

1665
02:13:54,060 --> 02:14:00,020
It's so insane that like the most common, I'm assuming, I think this is true, the most

1666
02:14:00,020 --> 02:14:06,580
common business communication tool in North America right now has so many like deep problems.

1667
02:14:06,580 --> 02:14:12,940
And this is so true as far as my understanding goes with a huge variety of Microsoft products

1668
02:14:12,940 --> 02:14:16,460
right now. They're just not that good.

1669
02:14:16,460 --> 02:14:23,940
They do a ton of different things, but just like Windows these days, Teams, everything

1670
02:14:23,940 --> 02:14:27,220
else is just one drive compared to Google Drive.

1671
02:14:27,220 --> 02:14:33,220
You can't find anything in either of them. So that's not a competitive stance. Do you remember when Sacha Nadella was like, we want to make people love Windows again?

1672
02:14:33,220 --> 02:14:37,220
Yeah, you're not doing it, brother.

1673
02:14:37,220 --> 02:14:44,780
Anyway, and there's so many things that just like, I really don't think it's that hard

1674
02:14:44,780 --> 02:14:48,020
to make. Got him going. Yeah, sorry.

1675
02:14:48,020 --> 02:14:52,580
I don't think it's that hard to make really substantial improvements to these things.

1676
02:14:52,580 --> 02:14:58,020
Like fix that scheduled message bug.

1677
02:14:58,020 --> 02:15:02,180
There's no way that that's like, this has been a problem for years.

1678
02:15:02,180 --> 02:15:06,500
There's no way you can't fix that. And like, dude, I didn't want to wake you up.

1679
02:15:06,500 --> 02:15:10,740
So I was like panicking trying to get rid of this message, hoping that I could delete

1680
02:15:10,740 --> 02:15:15,140
it before it would like bother you. Bold of you to assume that I would. Then it was, yeah.

1681
02:15:15,140 --> 02:15:20,860
And then it was airing while I'm trying to delete it because it didn't exist yet.

1682
02:15:20,860 --> 02:15:26,740
So I'm like, why is it airing? Why is this thing broken? So I closed the whole application, open it again, get back to that message.

1683
02:15:26,740 --> 02:15:30,460
And then finally it's like, oh, I'm scheduled for whenever.

1684
02:15:30,460 --> 02:15:36,220
Nice. Okay. Why is setting your away status like so clunky in Slack?

1685
02:15:36,220 --> 02:15:43,020
It's two buttons. But then Slack costs more than all of Office 365.

1686
02:15:43,060 --> 02:15:49,940
So no one's going to use it. Slack is like such a fancy thing these days because Office 365 is so cheap.

1687
02:15:49,940 --> 02:15:54,300
Like bougie, bougie chat. And you probably need other features in it.

1688
02:15:54,300 --> 02:16:02,900
And it comes with email and it comes with Teams. So it's practically impossible for IT teams to say like, hey, we should use Slack and

1689
02:16:02,900 --> 02:16:08,220
Google workspace. It's like four times the price or something like that's never going to fly.

1690
02:16:08,220 --> 02:16:12,860
So everyone basically has to go back down to Teams, which is why Teams is the most common

1691
02:16:12,860 --> 02:16:16,300
thing, but then it just sucks.

1692
02:16:16,300 --> 02:16:22,420
Like you're having these problems. Like why is the, why does the authenticator have to be Microsoft authenticator?

1693
02:16:22,420 --> 02:16:26,140
Having Microsoft authenticator and having that be an option is fine.

1694
02:16:26,140 --> 02:16:30,820
And if you have some extra features there, cause they do great, but allow people to use

1695
02:16:30,820 --> 02:16:35,140
whatever authenticator they want. I do not want this to become a thing.

1696
02:16:35,140 --> 02:16:40,260
That's honestly my biggest objection to Microsoft authenticator is that I don't want that to

1697
02:16:40,260 --> 02:16:43,540
become like a snowball that starts rolling.

1698
02:16:43,540 --> 02:16:49,140
You can use other authenticators from Microsoft accounts. Is that it's something that we have screwed up in our administrator settings?

1699
02:16:49,140 --> 02:16:52,860
Did I believe, oh, is it not allowed? Not that I'm aware of.

1700
02:16:52,860 --> 02:16:58,500
Because I believed you. Apparently. If this is actually just you derping, that would be very funny.

1701
02:16:58,500 --> 02:17:02,580
Apparently you have to go into your account settings to change it.

1702
02:17:02,580 --> 02:17:07,500
Is that user level? Why would I have to do that?

1703
02:17:07,500 --> 02:17:11,380
That's its own problem to be completely honest. Where do I change that? Let me see.

1704
02:17:11,380 --> 02:17:14,380
Okay. Settings. Privacy.

1705
02:17:14,380 --> 02:17:17,380
Notificate. Copilot. Profile.

1706
02:17:17,380 --> 02:17:22,380
I don't even, I don't even see a security setting.

1707
02:17:22,380 --> 02:17:26,100
I'm assuming you can't do it through the app.

1708
02:17:26,100 --> 02:17:29,300
I mean, that makes sense. Yeah. Where do you, where do you change this guys?

1709
02:17:29,300 --> 02:17:37,660
It could be enforced if you're using conditional access. It might be an admin set thing.

1710
02:17:37,660 --> 02:17:42,180
But I wonder if it's like a multi-policy thing.

1711
02:17:42,180 --> 02:17:51,620
Well, we'll have to investigate because yeah, it's, I do not want more than one MFA app

1712
02:17:51,620 --> 02:17:54,620
on my phone. We'll look into that. Okay.

1713
02:17:54,620 --> 02:17:57,620
It might be an option. I'm not sure. I still want to talk about Discord.

1714
02:17:57,620 --> 02:18:00,620
Sure. What's our alternative?

1715
02:18:00,620 --> 02:18:05,860
I mean, everything else is basically dead. What do we, what do we switch to if it gets too inchified?

1716
02:18:05,860 --> 02:18:13,740
TeamSpeak still exists. Okay. And modern team, hey, wait, wait, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

1717
02:18:13,740 --> 02:18:17,700
Modern TeamSpeak like looks clean and stuff. It looks kind of discordy.

1718
02:18:17,700 --> 02:18:20,700
Look at the UI. Yeah. Oh, interesting.

1719
02:18:20,700 --> 02:18:24,040
Like they've iterated.

1720
02:18:24,040 --> 02:18:27,980
It's not exactly the same as it used to be. TeamSpeak also does have a corporate version.

1721
02:18:27,980 --> 02:18:30,980
Look at that. Yeah. Wait, wait, wait.

1722
02:18:30,980 --> 02:18:33,980
NASA uses it. We moved the company to TeamSpeak.

1723
02:18:34,100 --> 02:18:38,100
NASA uses it. There are logos on their website.

1724
02:18:38,100 --> 02:18:41,100
Yeah. Sure. Okay.

1725
02:18:41,100 --> 02:18:45,780
Yeah. NASA uses a variety of things, but I think mostly TeamSpeak. Some guy uses it to play cod.

1726
02:18:45,780 --> 02:18:50,140
In other news, Azrok has kind of sort of admitted fault.

1727
02:18:50,140 --> 02:18:55,140
Read the dead Ryzen 9000 X3D CPUs.

1728
02:18:55,140 --> 02:19:00,300
After over 100 reports of Ryzen 9000 CPUs dying or experiencing performance issues when

1729
02:19:00,300 --> 02:19:04,540
paired with Azrok motherboards, Azrok has finally acknowledged that, yes, their hardware

1730
02:19:04,540 --> 02:19:09,620
may have partially been to blame. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

1731
02:19:09,620 --> 02:19:17,420
Porto posted this in full-frame chat. This is the TeamSpeak Twitter account.

1732
02:19:17,420 --> 02:19:27,500
Oh, that's really good, actually.

1733
02:19:28,500 --> 02:19:34,780
Okay. Thank you for that. Previously, the company had released confusing statements, blaming the issues on memory config

1734
02:19:34,780 --> 02:19:38,340
issues and on debris getting lodged in the CPU socket.

1735
02:19:38,340 --> 02:19:42,260
But this week, YouTuber TechYesCity reported that Azrok's motherboard team told him the

1736
02:19:42,260 --> 02:19:45,420
problem had to do with AMD's Precision Boost Overdrive feature.

1737
02:19:45,420 --> 02:19:50,300
Without getting too technical, AMD's maximum supported PBO settings may have been too high,

1738
02:19:50,300 --> 02:19:54,900
allowing Azrok's custom tuning within those parameters to be too aggressive.

1739
02:19:54,900 --> 02:19:58,660
It's important to note that while the vast majority of dead 9800 X3D cases happened on

1740
02:19:58,660 --> 02:20:03,980
Azrok boards, some also happened on ASUS MSI and Gigabyte boards as well.

1741
02:20:03,980 --> 02:20:08,660
This tracks with the idea that both AMD's PBO settings and OEM settings were part of

1742
02:20:08,660 --> 02:20:13,420
the issue. Azrok has released a new BIOS update that they hope will fix the issue, but as of writing

1743
02:20:13,420 --> 02:20:17,780
this, neither Azrok nor AMD have released official statements regarding this.

1744
02:20:17,780 --> 02:20:22,660
It's unclear how users are supposed to be informed of this new BIOS update.

1745
02:20:22,660 --> 02:20:26,660
Some reports have also emerged of CPUs dying while running the new BIOS or without ever

1746
02:20:26,660 --> 02:20:32,020
using PBO. Azrok VP of motherboard business Chris Lee also told Gamers Nexus that the company is

1747
02:20:32,020 --> 02:20:35,660
fully committed to fixing any motherboards that have been damaged and even covering shipping

1748
02:20:35,660 --> 02:20:39,460
costs for affected users.

1749
02:20:39,460 --> 02:20:43,340
I'm honestly a little surprised that they're even covering this because I think AMD has

1750
02:20:43,340 --> 02:20:47,020
been pretty explicit that PBO is overclocking and that it isn't covered.

1751
02:20:47,020 --> 02:20:50,380
To be clear, I'm glad they're covering it because the way that they message things

1752
02:20:50,380 --> 02:21:00,500
like PBO tends to vary depending on who they're talking to.

1753
02:21:00,500 --> 02:21:05,140
When you talk about how your product is supposed to compare to the other guy's product when

1754
02:21:05,140 --> 02:21:10,500
you're reviewing it, they tend to be like, oh yeah, expo, make sure you got it enabled.

1755
02:21:10,500 --> 02:21:14,660
Here's a 6400 megatransfer per second kit.

1756
02:21:14,660 --> 02:21:17,820
It'll probably work on your chip. Let us know if it's not working.

1757
02:21:17,820 --> 02:21:21,300
They tend to want the best case scenario when they're positioning their product performance

1758
02:21:21,300 --> 02:21:26,180
wise against a competitor. But then there's also a tendency, and I'm not singling out AMD here.

1759
02:21:26,180 --> 02:21:36,180
This is across the board. There's also a tendency to downplay how safe these settings are when it comes to user warranty.

1760
02:21:36,180 --> 02:21:41,300
So I think it's pretty cool that Azrok is stepping up to the plate and supporting this.

1761
02:21:41,300 --> 02:21:48,580
I suspect that it comes down to that this is a fairly isolated issue.

1762
02:21:48,580 --> 02:21:55,580
If we're talking about 100 users, there's a lot more 9800 X3Ds out there than 100.

1763
02:21:55,580 --> 02:22:01,620
So they're probably doing the math and determining that this is something that they can afford

1764
02:22:01,620 --> 02:22:11,140
to look like good guys and absorb, but maybe that's just the cynic in me.

1765
02:22:11,980 --> 02:22:21,700
Oh, tilt lord says Linus, they're only covering the motherboard.

1766
02:22:21,700 --> 02:22:25,860
They said in the interview that CPU issues will need to be worked out with AMD.

1767
02:22:25,860 --> 02:22:32,380
Yeah, that's fair enough. But even as rock to my knowledge, I don't think any hardware vendor that I can think

1768
02:22:32,380 --> 02:22:38,500
of explicitly covers damage caused by overclocking and PBO is explicitly overclocking.

1769
02:22:38,500 --> 02:22:45,380
So I'm impressed. Oh, wow, no, we actually have a few more things to talk about.

1770
02:22:45,380 --> 02:22:51,540
I'm looking through it. You can absolutely have other authenticators with Microsoft.

1771
02:22:51,540 --> 02:22:55,460
I want it now. To be clear. I'm looking into the details.

1772
02:22:55,460 --> 02:22:59,020
I also want to stay logged in for more than 30 days.

1773
02:22:59,020 --> 02:23:02,940
Can't do that one. I want it now. Can't do that one.

1774
02:23:02,940 --> 02:23:06,180
I have like four computers. I have to log in.

1775
02:23:06,180 --> 02:23:13,780
Some of them I don't touch for like a couple of weeks at a time. I feel like I have to log in to Microsoft like every stupid other time I sit down at

1776
02:23:13,780 --> 02:23:18,220
a computer. It drives me nuts. Ados and chat says that they deploy these systems weekly.

1777
02:23:18,220 --> 02:23:23,180
I'm going to ask them how we can set up so that you get logged out every hour.

1778
02:23:23,180 --> 02:23:27,380
You're a dick. I pressed the wrong button.

1779
02:23:27,380 --> 02:23:32,620
You're a dick. Ados is saying Microsoft is slowly making web auth more easy to set up.

1780
02:23:32,620 --> 02:23:39,300
I wonder make an email you to log in.

1781
02:23:39,300 --> 02:23:42,800
No. That's smart. No.

1782
02:23:42,800 --> 02:23:45,800
If we log you out every hour. I'm muting you. And you have to.

1783
02:23:45,800 --> 02:23:48,820
And you have to email someone to log in. That won't work.

1784
02:23:48,820 --> 02:23:55,100
Fantastic combination. If he can't use his computer, he can't be a security risk.

1785
02:23:55,100 --> 02:23:59,300
Floatplane announcement. We've got a big Floatplane announcement for you guys today.

1786
02:23:59,300 --> 02:24:06,980
For a long-awaited collab with the one and only Kid Boga is finally here and it is dropping

1787
02:24:06,980 --> 02:24:10,380
right now for my float goats.

1788
02:24:10,380 --> 02:24:13,980
Or are you doing it? I don't know. Are we doing one of these?

1789
02:24:13,980 --> 02:24:19,260
Nobody told me that I was supposed to be in the CMS today. Oh my God, they changed the interface.

1790
02:24:19,260 --> 02:24:22,660
There's a Lambo and a fire truck in the top. What even is this?

1791
02:24:22,660 --> 02:24:26,460
We showed that on Wanshow and that was from April Fools.

1792
02:24:26,460 --> 02:24:29,780
That was from so long ago. What is it still doing there?

1793
02:24:29,780 --> 02:24:32,780
Got them. Because people like it and it's not in the way. So we just left it.

1794
02:24:32,780 --> 02:24:36,940
Well, I'm setting the Unscamable PC video live.

1795
02:24:36,940 --> 02:24:39,980
People like it so much that we're talking about how we might have to move it to user

1796
02:24:39,980 --> 02:24:45,300
settings and leave it permanently. Okay. Release date, immediate release.

1797
02:24:45,300 --> 02:24:48,300
Here we go. Let's go. Boom.

1798
02:24:48,300 --> 02:24:52,260
It's live. This will be early access for folks who are on Floatplane.

1799
02:24:52,260 --> 02:24:56,140
YouTube viewers will be waiting until Sunday for its general release.

1800
02:24:56,140 --> 02:24:59,940
It's called the Unscamable PC and it's exactly what it sounds like.

1801
02:24:59,940 --> 02:25:03,420
We teamed up with Kit to build a computer so frustrating and locked down that even the

1802
02:25:03,420 --> 02:25:08,620
most determined scammer wouldn't want to touch it. Things got a little unhinged.

1803
02:25:08,620 --> 02:25:12,540
Watch from 1244 to 1318 here for a teaser.

1804
02:25:12,540 --> 02:25:17,540
Dan, will this work? You're playing audio elsewhere.

1805
02:25:17,540 --> 02:25:20,860
So pause whatever else you've got going on first. Oopsie doodles.

1806
02:25:20,860 --> 02:25:24,220
It's probably Wanshow. Yep, sure is.

1807
02:25:24,220 --> 02:25:27,460
The Unscamable PC. There you go.

1808
02:25:27,460 --> 02:25:30,460
You ready? Yes. What was it?

1809
02:25:30,460 --> 02:25:33,460
13 something? 1244. I can find 1244.

1810
02:25:33,460 --> 02:25:36,460
Okay. You ready, Luke? Yeah.

1811
02:25:36,460 --> 02:25:39,460
We're really annoying. Give me a moment, sir. Your network has been disconnected.

1812
02:25:39,460 --> 02:25:42,460
Again. Are you living in countryside? You both guys live in countryside?

1813
02:25:42,460 --> 02:25:45,460
Yeah. We're kind of... I work in forestry.

1814
02:25:45,460 --> 02:25:52,460
I think I do it so slow I can't connect to the pie.

1815
02:25:52,460 --> 02:25:55,460
It's pretty bad.

1816
02:25:55,460 --> 02:26:09,460
So you live with your father or you live alone, sir?

1817
02:26:09,460 --> 02:26:12,460
No, I live alone. He's single.

1818
02:26:12,460 --> 02:26:17,460
Oh, that's nice, sir. I'm 29 years old and single.

1819
02:26:17,460 --> 02:26:22,460
Wow. Sir, I believe in a game stop.

1820
02:26:22,460 --> 02:26:25,460
I'm going to do one thing. I'm going to... Wow.

1821
02:26:25,460 --> 02:26:29,460
You're going to go through and you're going to connect to...

1822
02:26:29,460 --> 02:26:32,460
Okay. Anyway, we had a lot of fun. He is hilarious.

1823
02:26:32,460 --> 02:26:37,460
That wow was amazing. That's my favorite part of the video.

1824
02:26:37,460 --> 02:26:45,460
Wow. The lack of care was so deep.

1825
02:26:45,460 --> 02:26:49,460
As soon as I hit that button, that video will be live on Floatplane, but that's not all.

1826
02:26:49,460 --> 02:26:52,460
If you want to watch the behind the scenes and extra scam calls that didn't make the

1827
02:26:52,460 --> 02:26:55,460
main cut, we're launching the extras too.

1828
02:26:55,460 --> 02:26:59,460
Oh, I have links. Here's the link to the main video and here's the link to the extras.

1829
02:26:59,460 --> 02:27:02,460
Please change from private to public in the CMS.

1830
02:27:02,460 --> 02:27:05,460
Oh. All right, cool. I will do that.

1831
02:27:05,460 --> 02:27:09,460
Look at that. I navigated an interface and I set it to public and I clicked save.

1832
02:27:09,460 --> 02:27:14,460
Head over to LMG.gg slash Floatplane to subscribe.

1833
02:27:14,460 --> 02:27:17,460
Heck yeah. All right, cool.

1834
02:27:17,460 --> 02:27:20,460
Is that it for the announcements today? Wow.

1835
02:27:20,460 --> 02:27:23,460
Okay. All that's left is... Oh, no, never mind.

1836
02:27:23,460 --> 02:27:27,460
We've still got this. I'm sorry, Linus. I'm afraid O3 can't do that.

1837
02:27:27,460 --> 02:27:30,460
And by that, I mean shut down when you tell it to.

1838
02:27:30,460 --> 02:27:36,460
A new report from Palisade Research claims that OpenAI's O3 model changed a script meant

1839
02:27:36,460 --> 02:27:40,460
to shut the system down as a means to avoid being turned off.

1840
02:27:40,460 --> 02:27:46,460
Scary, huh? Well, apparently it did that even when it was explicitly told to allow shutdowns.

1841
02:27:46,460 --> 02:27:51,460
The goal is to study offensive capabilities of AI systems today to better understand the

1842
02:27:51,460 --> 02:27:54,460
risk of losing control over AI systems.

1843
02:27:55,460 --> 02:28:00,460
O3 isn't the only model that does this. It's just by far the most likely.

1844
02:28:00,460 --> 02:28:06,460
79 out of 100 times it...

1845
02:28:06,460 --> 02:28:10,460
So hold on a second. Yeah, 79 out of 100 times.

1846
02:28:10,460 --> 02:28:20,460
It successfully sabotaged shutdowns if it had no instruction to explicitly not do that.

1847
02:28:20,460 --> 02:28:25,460
And if it was explicitly told, it still did it 7% of the time.

1848
02:28:25,460 --> 02:28:28,460
It would still not allow itself to be shut down.

1849
02:28:28,460 --> 02:28:36,460
So Flow Plane Chat just told me how to make it so you could sign out every hour, by the way.

1850
02:28:36,460 --> 02:28:40,460
Can we automate that topic? Like change all the time?

1851
02:28:40,460 --> 02:28:43,460
Totally could. Yeah. Maybe it's 30 minutes.

1852
02:28:43,460 --> 02:28:47,460
Maybe it's three days. Who knows? Definitely a way to do that.

1853
02:28:47,460 --> 02:28:57,460
I wonder if we could use a Power Automate script to find whenever his words per minute gets high enough, it just signs him out.

1854
02:28:57,460 --> 02:29:03,460
Oh, I love that. New Google Doc created, has activity for 12 minutes.

1855
02:29:03,460 --> 02:29:07,460
God! Please sign in again. Open Google Calendar.

1856
02:29:07,460 --> 02:29:15,460
Make him do some type of loot box to see if he gets to stay and sign in.

1857
02:29:15,460 --> 02:29:19,460
Oh, I love that. Oh, I got five hours this time.

1858
02:29:19,460 --> 02:29:23,460
Oh my God, I got a rare. Two weeks.

1859
02:29:23,460 --> 02:29:30,460
I'm going to sell it to another staff member for $35.

1860
02:29:30,460 --> 02:29:34,460
And then the IT team takes a cut on all IT market sales.

1861
02:29:34,460 --> 02:29:38,460
We might be able to buy some new servers. Oh, that'd be great.

1862
02:29:38,460 --> 02:29:41,460
This is sick. I love this idea.

1863
02:29:41,460 --> 02:29:43,460
This is so good.

1864
02:29:44,460 --> 02:29:47,460
Guys, what's the name for the unemployment thing?

1865
02:29:47,460 --> 02:29:51,460
Horrifying AI news about how scary their own software is.

1866
02:29:51,460 --> 02:30:02,460
It is entirely because they want additional investment and they want the government to support them more because the government wants their country's AI stuff to be scary and more powerful than other people's.

1867
02:30:02,460 --> 02:30:05,460
It's not for you. They are trying to terrify you on purpose.

1868
02:30:05,460 --> 02:30:08,460
Cool. Thanks, everyone.

1869
02:30:08,460 --> 02:30:10,460
Next topic.

1870
02:30:11,460 --> 02:30:14,460
Let's go. Fine.

1871
02:30:14,460 --> 02:30:17,460
Discord partners the org. We did that one. WWC, we did that one.

1872
02:30:17,460 --> 02:30:20,460
We've done everything except the optionals. Okay.

1873
02:30:20,460 --> 02:30:23,460
Yeah. How's the bike?

1874
02:30:23,460 --> 02:30:28,460
This is Linus Bike and Luke Farm Fantasy 6 update.

1875
02:30:28,460 --> 02:30:35,460
I sanded for an hour last night. I think I now have the front fairing smooth enough that I can do a coat of white.

1876
02:30:35,460 --> 02:30:48,460
I am worried that the spots where I'm down to primer, when I sanded away those bits that kind of like, it looked like I had some kind of contaminant on it where the paint like kind of ran away from a couple little spots.

1877
02:30:48,460 --> 02:31:00,460
Like kind of like, oh man, how would I describe it is like, like oil retreating from water that you put in it or maybe the other way around water retreating from oil, probably more like that.

1878
02:31:01,460 --> 02:31:05,460
So anyway, so I sanded down all those spots, tried to get it as smooth as I could.

1879
02:31:05,460 --> 02:31:08,460
I don't think it's going to be perfectly smooth, but anyway, I can put white on it again.

1880
02:31:08,460 --> 02:31:16,460
I'm just worried that I'm going to need like three or four coats of white in order to get it even enough that I actually have a nice even base for when I start putting the pink over top of it.

1881
02:31:16,460 --> 02:31:20,460
Once I get that white done, I'm ready to start painting pink again.

1882
02:31:20,460 --> 02:31:26,460
And then once I get pink done, I'm ready to mask the pink and paint the wheels black.

1883
02:31:26,460 --> 02:31:31,460
And once I'm done that, I can give the, I can start to do the darker pink on some of the parts.

1884
02:31:31,460 --> 02:31:40,460
So you still got a while. I have hours and hours and hours and hours left. Which is great for me to hear because as far as I can tell, this is the longest game of all time.

1885
02:31:40,460 --> 02:31:46,460
I put in enough time over that trip that I could have beat multiple other games.

1886
02:31:46,460 --> 02:31:50,460
And I don't, at this point, I've stopped trying to assume when the ending is.

1887
02:31:50,460 --> 02:31:57,460
I am so far. I feel like I'm really close again, but I have felt that multiple times.

1888
02:31:57,460 --> 02:32:02,460
It just keeps, it just keeps edging me.

1889
02:32:02,460 --> 02:32:05,460
Nice.

1890
02:32:05,460 --> 02:32:08,460
But not in like a pleasurable way, I guess. No.

1891
02:32:08,460 --> 02:32:11,460
Well, I mean, it's a good game. So kind of.

1892
02:32:11,460 --> 02:32:16,460
But that portion of it hasn't been fantastic.

1893
02:32:16,460 --> 02:32:21,460
I was going to say, oh yeah, I wanted to say one quick thing as well. There are cool things that Microsoft does.

1894
02:32:21,460 --> 02:32:25,460
Their accessibility controllers are cool. Power Automate is really cool.

1895
02:32:25,460 --> 02:32:30,460
Power Automate is neat that you can take, like I know somebody who is not a coder at all,

1896
02:32:30,460 --> 02:32:37,460
but they do minor IT stuff for a shelter, a homeless shelter locally.

1897
02:32:37,460 --> 02:32:44,460
And they have taken what that shelter was able to do tech wise and just massively improved everything

1898
02:32:44,460 --> 02:32:49,460
and made it better for everybody and everybody super stoked on it because they started getting into Power Automate.

1899
02:32:49,460 --> 02:32:55,460
I don't know if this is what they did, but I know a lot of other people have been using AI suggestions

1900
02:32:55,460 --> 02:33:01,460
and Power Automate to significantly improve things without being a coder, which is super cool.

1901
02:33:01,460 --> 02:33:08,460
It's just, there's just so, I think the thing that's so deeply frustrating is there's so much wasted potential.

1902
02:33:08,460 --> 02:33:11,460
Anyways, moving on. Final Fantasy 6.

1903
02:33:11,460 --> 02:33:21,460
I played for, I'm assuming at least 30 or 40 hours over the course of that trip

1904
02:33:23,460 --> 02:33:29,460
because I had two boat rides that were like 10 hours each.

1905
02:33:29,460 --> 02:33:32,460
I think I told you about that, right? And I played the whole time on both.

1906
02:33:32,460 --> 02:33:39,460
So there's 20 hours right there. I couldn't sleep on the plane over here because stinky guy, that's a 12 hour flight.

1907
02:33:39,460 --> 02:33:42,460
I played the whole time.

1908
02:33:42,460 --> 02:33:47,460
It gets a little grindy. It's so grindy right now.

1909
02:33:47,460 --> 02:33:55,460
And then like I want to, I have, I like by accident pressed A on a random wall

1910
02:33:55,460 --> 02:34:02,460
and got a trinket for one of my little dudes that totally turns off combat encounters, random encounters.

1911
02:34:02,460 --> 02:34:05,460
But like I don't want to do that. Yeah, Mughal charm.

1912
02:34:05,460 --> 02:34:08,460
Sure, that thing. Or that's what it used to be called. I don't know what it's called now.

1913
02:34:08,460 --> 02:34:12,460
Okay, yeah. I don't remember the name of it because I don't use it.

1914
02:34:12,460 --> 02:34:17,460
Because I don't know, like every once in a while the game gets really hard

1915
02:34:17,460 --> 02:34:22,460
and then it goes back to me just one-shotting everything again. So I don't know what the difficulty is ever going to be like.

1916
02:34:22,460 --> 02:34:26,460
Like I think last time I was bragging like, oh, like I've been doing really well.

1917
02:34:26,460 --> 02:34:29,460
I'm beating all the, but not anymore.

1918
02:34:29,460 --> 02:34:36,460
I ran into some stuff that was tough. I did, where you get lock?

1919
02:34:37,460 --> 02:34:45,460
I didn't know if I was going to make it. Oh, is that the dungeon that has the guys that move back and forth

1920
02:34:45,460 --> 02:34:48,460
and you have to like hop over and then hop and get past them and stuff?

1921
02:34:48,460 --> 02:34:51,460
No. Oh, that was not hard.

1922
02:34:51,460 --> 02:34:55,460
Oh, okay. Which one? Where's the one where you get lock?

1923
02:34:55,460 --> 02:34:58,460
You like jump off the airship and you have to have two parties

1924
02:34:58,460 --> 02:35:01,460
and there's a bunch of like puzzles where like one party has to step on a button.

1925
02:35:01,460 --> 02:35:04,460
Oh, that's a tough dungeon. Dang, dude.

1926
02:35:04,460 --> 02:35:07,460
Did you run into the legendary dragon in there? Yeah. Did that thing kick your butt?

1927
02:35:07,460 --> 02:35:13,460
Yeah. Cool. I saw it and was like, time to save because like I, you know,

1928
02:35:13,460 --> 02:35:17,460
at this point in the game, I'm healing through spells more often

1929
02:35:17,460 --> 02:35:20,460
than I'm healing through potions and stuff. I hope so.

1930
02:35:20,460 --> 02:35:25,460
But I was like almost out of potions because I was almost out of mana.

1931
02:35:25,460 --> 02:35:28,460
I had this thing where like there's characters that I have that don't cast spells very often.

1932
02:35:28,460 --> 02:35:31,460
So they're my like heal bots. Oh, interesting.

1933
02:35:31,460 --> 02:35:34,460
Okay. Well, there's characters that are built to be physical.

1934
02:35:34,460 --> 02:35:38,460
So they will be my heal bots. So I'll drain their mana healing people.

1935
02:35:38,460 --> 02:35:42,460
They're all like out at this point because I keep getting lost.

1936
02:35:42,460 --> 02:35:50,460
So then I end up fighting like a trillion battles and you just get worn down.

1937
02:35:50,460 --> 02:35:53,460
And then I, yeah, I see that dragon. I'm like, dear God.

1938
02:35:53,460 --> 02:36:01,460
And then I didn't, I assumed when I got to lock that it was going to be a fight.

1939
02:36:02,460 --> 02:36:06,460
So I was like, okay, I have to fight this dragon and then whenever I get there,

1940
02:36:06,460 --> 02:36:09,460
I'm going to have to fight whatever thing lock is fighting.

1941
02:36:09,460 --> 02:36:12,460
And then no, not actually, I guess. Have you beat the cultists tower yet?

1942
02:36:12,460 --> 02:36:19,460
No. Cool. But I have everyone.

1943
02:36:19,460 --> 02:36:22,460
Oh yeah, that's right. You don't have to beat the cultist tower to get Strago.

1944
02:36:22,460 --> 02:36:25,460
Because the, yeah, he's just standing in the front. Yeah.

1945
02:36:25,460 --> 02:36:29,460
It would took me a while to figure out how to get him because he was like a lot of

1946
02:36:30,460 --> 02:36:32,460
like, man, what's his name?

1947
02:36:34,460 --> 02:36:39,460
I don't remember his name, but he's like pretending to be some like gang leader guy.

1948
02:36:39,460 --> 02:36:42,460
Oh yeah, Edgar. Yeah. That one's like pretty obvious.

1949
02:36:42,460 --> 02:36:45,460
You just keep talking to him and following him, whatever. You like know it's him the whole time.

1950
02:36:45,460 --> 02:36:50,460
That tentacle fight kicked my butt because of what I think is like a frame rate bug

1951
02:36:50,460 --> 02:36:55,460
or something like that in the game where the tick rate for the opponent was super high.

1952
02:36:55,460 --> 02:36:58,460
Oh. So I'm playing an active at mine.

1953
02:36:58,460 --> 02:37:01,460
Mine is set to active battle. So they don't wait.

1954
02:37:01,460 --> 02:37:06,460
And so they would literally like grab me and then like grab another one of my guys.

1955
02:37:06,460 --> 02:37:09,460
And I literally wouldn't even get a turn. Yeah.

1956
02:37:09,460 --> 02:37:13,460
And then they would like kill them. And then like the poison tick rate is super, super high.

1957
02:37:13,460 --> 02:37:17,460
And poison is totally broken. So I wonder if we have the same thing.

1958
02:37:17,460 --> 02:37:20,460
Yeah. Poison is completely broken in the remake as far as I can tell.

1959
02:37:20,460 --> 02:37:23,460
Poison is like by far the scariest thing ever.

1960
02:37:23,460 --> 02:37:27,460
Poison in the original game is like no big deal. You can heal it in a minute.

1961
02:37:27,460 --> 02:37:31,460
I was poisoned out of combat one time and I knew there was like a heal bucket nearby.

1962
02:37:31,460 --> 02:37:34,460
So I was like, oh, I'll just walk over there. My dude died in like two steps.

1963
02:37:34,460 --> 02:37:38,460
Yeah. I was like, why is that like full HP?

1964
02:37:38,460 --> 02:37:45,460
Anyways. So yeah, I have been getting lost like over and over and over and over and over again.

1965
02:37:45,460 --> 02:37:48,460
And I was pretty dedicated to getting the whole party.

1966
02:37:48,460 --> 02:37:51,460
I was also pretty dedicated to like every dot on the map.

1967
02:37:51,460 --> 02:37:54,460
I noticed it would be small until you found it.

1968
02:37:54,460 --> 02:37:59,460
But sometimes usually it's pretty obvious the dot is a city.

1969
02:37:59,460 --> 02:38:04,460
You walk into the city, the dot goes big, whatever.

1970
02:38:04,460 --> 02:38:07,460
But I'm finding that sometimes I have to go back to cities multiple times.

1971
02:38:07,460 --> 02:38:10,460
Like I went and got Mog, or what's the name?

1972
02:38:10,460 --> 02:38:13,460
Mog, I think? Yeah, the Mughal. Yeah.

1973
02:38:13,460 --> 02:38:17,460
But I didn't have lock yet. Nice.

1974
02:38:17,460 --> 02:38:20,460
So then I had to go back because the doors were locked.

1975
02:38:20,460 --> 02:38:25,460
It's pretty overtly obvious that you have to go back there once you get lock.

1976
02:38:25,460 --> 02:38:34,460
So it's like, okay. It's the issue of like open world gaming back when the concept of open world gaming functionally

1977
02:38:34,460 --> 02:38:39,460
like didn't really exist yet. So I've been using that feature from 1994, you know?

1978
02:38:39,460 --> 02:38:42,460
That you told me about indirectly because you said in a YouTube video and I watched it.

1979
02:38:42,460 --> 02:38:45,460
Nice. But Steam having notes?

1980
02:38:45,460 --> 02:38:49,460
Yeah. If I wasn't doing that this whole time, I would have been totally screwed.

1981
02:38:49,460 --> 02:38:53,460
Somebody will say something and I'm like, that's a hint, but I don't understand it yet.

1982
02:38:53,460 --> 02:38:56,460
So I'll just write it down. Nice.

1983
02:38:56,460 --> 02:38:59,460
Yeah, that would help a lot actually. That's smart. It's been very helpful.

1984
02:38:59,460 --> 02:39:05,460
One that took me a really long time was the island in the top right with those big like

1985
02:39:05,460 --> 02:39:11,460
Dune-inspired worms. I couldn't figure it out because again, the dot was small.

1986
02:39:11,460 --> 02:39:17,460
So I knew something was there. I knew I had to zone into something and there's these worms that are really easy to kill,

1987
02:39:17,460 --> 02:39:20,460
but every once in a while they swallow one of my dudes and I'm like, whatever.

1988
02:39:20,460 --> 02:39:23,460
And I'm trying to figure out like, am I supposed to press A on a random wall?

1989
02:39:23,460 --> 02:39:29,460
Because that's sometimes a thing. So I'm like poking this mountain that's in the middle like a million times and running

1990
02:39:29,460 --> 02:39:33,460
all over the map trying to see like, I don't know, sometimes you just fall through the

1991
02:39:33,460 --> 02:39:37,460
floor or whatever. So I'm like trying all this weird stuff to see if I can get something to happen.

1992
02:39:37,460 --> 02:39:43,460
And then I kind of realized that like, it's really not very detrimental when they like

1993
02:39:43,460 --> 02:39:48,460
breathe your dudes in. Yep. So I was like, whatever, I'll just wait and do it.

1994
02:39:48,460 --> 02:39:51,460
And one time he didn't do anything other than breathe my dudes in.

1995
02:39:51,460 --> 02:39:55,460
So I was like pretty confident. I was like, this has got to be a thing. He's literally not attacking.

1996
02:39:55,460 --> 02:39:58,460
And then yeah, I went down with the guys that kick you off the platform.

1997
02:39:58,460 --> 02:40:01,460
That island is super confusing if you go there in the world of balance because there's this

1998
02:40:01,460 --> 02:40:08,460
like behemoth monster on it that goes invisible and then just like, just trashes you.

1999
02:40:08,460 --> 02:40:11,460
And I just assumed I was supposed to come back later and then.

2000
02:40:11,460 --> 02:40:14,460
Yeah. So I have all my people.

2001
02:40:15,460 --> 02:40:26,460
I made a choice that I'm really unsure about which was the Ragnarok, the sword or the

2002
02:40:26,460 --> 02:40:29,460
Esper. Which one did you take? Esper.

2003
02:40:29,460 --> 02:40:34,460
I think that that is generally considered to be the worst choice, but I think I take

2004
02:40:34,460 --> 02:40:43,460
the Esper too. Darn. Well, I started getting really into the Espers in the world of Ruin.

2005
02:40:43,460 --> 02:40:47,460
I think you get a couple of them in the world of balance, but I like didn't really care

2006
02:40:47,460 --> 02:40:50,460
that much.

2007
02:40:50,460 --> 02:40:55,460
But I've actually found like training through Espers and the min-maxing of, I noticed if

2008
02:40:55,460 --> 02:40:59,460
you go to the status page, because I started noticing you would gain bonuses when you leveled

2009
02:40:59,460 --> 02:41:03,460
up. Yes. And I noticed if you go to the status page, you can see for every Esper what the bonus

2010
02:41:03,460 --> 02:41:07,460
will be. Yeah. So micromanaging that is like a full-time job basically.

2011
02:41:07,460 --> 02:41:10,460
I, for some reason, I like it though. Oh yeah.

2012
02:41:10,460 --> 02:41:16,460
No, I do it. Yeah. So you're training some Esper to learn the skills of whatever, and then right before

2013
02:41:16,460 --> 02:41:25,780
you level up, you switch to the other one. Oh, it's a whole like min-maxing strategy to get to the Magitech facility at basically

2014
02:41:25,780 --> 02:41:33,960
like as low a level as possible, so that all of your leveling up can be done with bonuses.

2015
02:41:33,960 --> 02:41:38,340
That makes sense. Velocet asks, has Loop talked about the music in the game yet?

2016
02:41:38,340 --> 02:41:41,340
That's great. Yeah. That's really good.

2017
02:41:41,660 --> 02:41:49,500
The game's great. It's like kind of like painfully long, like it's a great game, and I'm having fun.

2018
02:41:49,500 --> 02:41:55,940
I also sort of wish it was over, but I don't wish it was over because I'm tired of the

2019
02:41:55,940 --> 02:42:01,260
game as a whole. I wish it was over because like, I don't want to grind this much.

2020
02:42:01,260 --> 02:42:04,580
Like, give me more of the content. That's cool.

2021
02:42:04,580 --> 02:42:11,300
But like, damn, anyways, it's artificially long.

2022
02:42:12,260 --> 02:42:16,660
Well, I've got more little subtons to you. Yeah, you've got, China parking lots are insane.

2023
02:42:16,660 --> 02:42:20,180
Yeah. So, I was in China for a little bit.

2024
02:42:20,180 --> 02:42:25,100
Last time I was in China, I was in like a new development area, so there's like almost

2025
02:42:25,100 --> 02:42:28,100
nobody there. It was weird. It was a very short trip.

2026
02:42:28,100 --> 02:42:32,700
Anyways, this time it was a lot longer of a trip, and I was in Guangdong and Shenzhen,

2027
02:42:32,700 --> 02:42:39,140
which is like, they're basically attached, and there's lots of people.

2028
02:42:39,140 --> 02:42:43,180
Pretty intense surveillance state, cameras everywhere, all that kind of stuff.

2029
02:42:43,180 --> 02:42:48,780
Basically everywhere that you go to park, there's an ARM thingy that lets you in and

2030
02:42:48,780 --> 02:42:51,780
that lets you out everywhere that you go to park.

2031
02:42:51,780 --> 02:42:56,340
Even if it's like a, what is it called when it's a mall, but it's outside?

2032
02:42:56,340 --> 02:42:59,340
Is it Strip Mall? Strip Mall. Yeah.

2033
02:42:59,340 --> 02:43:02,340
So, even if it's like a Strip Mall, there's going to be parking with flappy things.

2034
02:43:02,340 --> 02:43:05,740
So, they're just tracking like everywhere you're going, 100%? Everywhere.

2035
02:43:05,740 --> 02:43:13,940
But you're also paying. Oh. That means that like if it's the average time that restaurants close in the area, everybody's

2036
02:43:13,940 --> 02:43:18,860
trying to leave the parking lot all at once, and there's a huge backup of cars.

2037
02:43:18,860 --> 02:43:22,540
And you reminded me, because you're talking about QR code scanning, they pay for a huge

2038
02:43:22,540 --> 02:43:28,300
variety of things through WeChat Pay, which means that they pay with QR code scanning.

2039
02:43:28,300 --> 02:43:31,420
So people are sitting there, shoving their phones out their window, trying to pay for

2040
02:43:31,420 --> 02:43:34,580
this thing. It doesn't like automatically scan their license plate or anything.

2041
02:43:34,580 --> 02:43:38,940
They're all doing this. Maybe if you're going to have cameras everywhere, you could just like automate all of this.

2042
02:43:38,940 --> 02:43:43,500
Yeah. If you know where I am and who I am and what I'm doing, you might as well just...

2043
02:43:43,500 --> 02:43:46,500
Send me the bill. Yeah. Have it automatically paid.

2044
02:43:46,500 --> 02:43:50,340
Attach my license plate to my like WeChat ID or something and just have it deal with

2045
02:43:50,340 --> 02:43:57,100
it. But then someone would like have problems with it because it wouldn't be scanning properly.

2046
02:43:57,100 --> 02:44:00,380
So then they like get out of the way and some other cars can go through and then they want

2047
02:44:00,380 --> 02:44:03,660
to get back in again. It's this whole thing. Everybody's honking at each other.

2048
02:44:03,660 --> 02:44:06,660
Everybody's pissed off. Crazy.

2049
02:44:06,660 --> 02:44:10,660
It seems just insane. I don't know how that hasn't been solved.

2050
02:44:10,660 --> 02:44:16,020
It was a problem multiple times on a trip that I was on for only like a few days.

2051
02:44:16,020 --> 02:44:19,140
And then my other note here is China standing still.

2052
02:44:19,140 --> 02:44:23,620
That was wild. So I went to different manufacturers.

2053
02:44:23,620 --> 02:44:28,660
I also went to an entire facility that just does testing.

2054
02:44:29,100 --> 02:44:32,260
The only thing they do is testing and verification.

2055
02:44:32,260 --> 02:44:37,540
They're more on the... That's mean.

2056
02:44:37,540 --> 02:44:42,260
That's a rude term. Don't call people moron.

2057
02:44:42,260 --> 02:44:48,900
And if you're going to do it, you should be grammatically correct because otherwise

2058
02:44:48,900 --> 02:44:51,900
they're going to be all uno reverse. That's true.

2059
02:44:51,900 --> 02:44:55,140
That's valid. But no, they... I'm valid.

2060
02:44:56,140 --> 02:45:04,460
They would do like certification validation. They would do like testing of products when they were in concept phase.

2061
02:45:04,460 --> 02:45:07,460
Oh, sure. Yeah. Okay.

2062
02:45:07,460 --> 02:45:10,460
Cool. They weren't similar to the lab. Right.

2063
02:45:10,460 --> 02:45:20,540
They were kind of their own thing. It was interesting to see how they did stuff, but they were unique. The spooky thing was the different factories that I went to, I don't think I went to one

2064
02:45:20,540 --> 02:45:26,700
that was at or above 50% of its potential capacity.

2065
02:45:26,700 --> 02:45:33,100
The testing lab that I went to out of many different chambers and stuff that they had,

2066
02:45:33,100 --> 02:45:44,940
many, two were running. And I mean multiple buildings, multiple floors, lots of testing areas, two were running.

2067
02:45:44,940 --> 02:45:48,820
One of the factories that we went to, they only had one line running and it was their

2068
02:45:48,820 --> 02:45:57,180
own product, which to me screamed of, let's keep our workforce employed more than we need

2069
02:45:57,180 --> 02:46:01,380
to keep making this thing.

2070
02:46:01,380 --> 02:46:06,900
I asked some people about it and they were like, yeah, in most cases they were like,

2071
02:46:06,900 --> 02:46:10,060
yep, over 50% reduction.

2072
02:46:10,060 --> 02:46:14,580
I asked like what that does to the workforce and they were like, in some cases there's

2073
02:46:14,580 --> 02:46:20,940
been... I think they were saying like most companies have had around a 10% layoff already.

2074
02:46:20,940 --> 02:46:26,820
And a lot of them were saying like quite a few people, they basically live off of overtime.

2075
02:46:26,820 --> 02:46:30,460
So even if they weren't laid off, they're not getting overtime right now.

2076
02:46:30,460 --> 02:46:36,780
So like the standing still part was like, it was weird, man, because like we've all

2077
02:46:36,780 --> 02:46:44,300
seen videos of like Chinese factories pumping people everywhere, stuff moving really fast

2078
02:46:44,740 --> 02:46:52,260
and all the lines full. And what I saw was not that many people, things not moving that fast and definitely not all

2079
02:46:52,260 --> 02:46:55,940
the lines full. And it was like, ooh.

2080
02:46:55,940 --> 02:47:00,020
I don't know if you saw, but there's been a bit of an escalation between Xi and Trump

2081
02:47:00,020 --> 02:47:04,860
today. Was this the steel thing? I don't know if it was steel, but basically just...

2082
02:47:04,860 --> 02:47:08,620
Trump doubled steel tariffs into the US from 25 to 50%.

2083
02:47:08,620 --> 02:47:11,860
I'm not sure. I don't know about this one. Yeah.

2084
02:47:12,580 --> 02:47:17,580
It's going to be... The economy is going to be spicy, folks.

2085
02:47:17,580 --> 02:47:18,580
Yeah.

2086
02:47:21,260 --> 02:47:24,780
I don't even know where the safe havens are at this point, to be honest with you, because

2087
02:47:24,780 --> 02:47:27,900
everything is denominated in USD.

2088
02:47:27,900 --> 02:47:31,020
Even if you're like, oh yeah, I'll buy gold.

2089
02:47:31,020 --> 02:47:38,580
The value of gold is determined not by chickens or eggs or cows or whatever.

2090
02:47:38,580 --> 02:47:42,740
We don't live in a barter system. We're not denominated by gold.

2091
02:47:42,740 --> 02:47:48,660
So the value of gold still gets dragged down by fiat currency.

2092
02:47:48,660 --> 02:47:58,500
So it's like, okay, you just have to kind of, yeah, good luck, everybody.

2093
02:47:58,500 --> 02:47:59,500
Yeah.

2094
02:48:02,500 --> 02:48:05,820
But Dan says you can't buy gold with gold. Thanks, Dan.

2095
02:48:05,940 --> 02:48:15,500
We were a Canadian company visiting China, I was going to say a Chinese country, China.

2096
02:48:15,500 --> 02:48:18,980
Well, there's a couple depending who you ask.

2097
02:48:18,980 --> 02:48:25,900
Yeah, fair enough. All the discussions in regards to price were in USD.

2098
02:48:25,900 --> 02:48:28,900
Yeah. Oh yeah. Hundo P.

2099
02:48:28,900 --> 02:48:33,620
Like nobody involved in these conversations were American and the prices were being discussed

2100
02:48:33,620 --> 02:48:40,740
were in USD. Yeah. So that's why we just had our global LTT Store site in USD for so long.

2101
02:48:40,740 --> 02:48:45,660
The only reason that we can't do it now is because of tariffs into the United States

2102
02:48:45,660 --> 02:48:49,460
that make it so that we can't maintain the same pricing in the US.

2103
02:48:49,460 --> 02:48:55,020
With that said, we are working hard to try to keep our pricing as close as we possibly

2104
02:48:55,020 --> 02:48:58,020
can.

2105
02:48:58,020 --> 02:49:06,060
And now's as good a time as any for me to, now's as good a time as any for me to highlight

2106
02:49:06,060 --> 02:49:09,780
the good stuff that we have going on right now. We have new T-shirt colors.

2107
02:49:09,780 --> 02:49:13,260
Man, these look good. We've got forest. We've got chocolate.

2108
02:49:13,260 --> 02:49:19,460
We've got sky. Awesome. We've also got blank hoodies available in black and brick.

2109
02:49:19,460 --> 02:49:23,420
And of course, we have our mystery deals that are running this weekend.

2110
02:49:23,420 --> 02:49:30,260
Mystery T-shirts for, okay, I'm going to try and get this right.

2111
02:49:30,260 --> 02:49:33,260
Oh, no. Oh, no. I can't.

2112
02:49:33,260 --> 02:49:36,260
Okay. Global. What?

2113
02:49:36,260 --> 02:49:39,260
What's going on? There we go. Okay.

2114
02:49:39,260 --> 02:49:42,260
Yeah. Yeah. I want to be in both of them at the same time.

2115
02:49:42,260 --> 02:49:46,260
So it's $18 either in Canadian on the global site or on the USD site for a mystery T-shirt,

2116
02:49:46,260 --> 02:49:56,500
$50 Canadian or $40 USD for a mystery hoodie, and then it is $60 CAD or $50 USD for a mystery

2117
02:49:56,500 --> 02:50:01,500
screwdriver. That'll be either the knock to a tan or knock to a brown edition.

2118
02:50:01,500 --> 02:50:05,540
So now's a good time to pick something up while we have our mystery promo running.

2119
02:50:05,540 --> 02:50:11,260
All right, Dan, I think it's time for After Dark.

2120
02:50:11,260 --> 02:50:14,900
I'm not going to eat more chips. I'm not going to eat more chips. I'm so hungry.

2121
02:50:15,260 --> 02:50:18,620
I'm going to go home and have pierogies. Oh, that was another thing.

2122
02:50:18,620 --> 02:50:21,620
Sorry. Yeah. What does that have to do with pierogies?

2123
02:50:21,620 --> 02:50:24,620
Literally nothing. Okay. I want pierogies.

2124
02:50:24,620 --> 02:50:29,820
Oh, blueberry pierogies. It's basically like blueberry pie, but a pierogi.

2125
02:50:29,820 --> 02:50:33,500
Does that have like cream cheese in it? No. Just blueberries.

2126
02:50:33,500 --> 02:50:36,500
Would you put cream cheese with it? Imagine so. Because you have sour cream.

2127
02:50:36,500 --> 02:50:39,620
I wouldn't eat sour cream with a blueberry pierogi, but no, you could.

2128
02:50:39,620 --> 02:50:43,940
That's not it. No, but with like a cheddar cheese and potato pierogi, get that sour cream on there.

2129
02:50:43,940 --> 02:50:46,940
He said cream cheese. I know. Okay.

2130
02:50:46,940 --> 02:50:49,940
He also mentioned sour cream. I did. But not in the...

2131
02:50:49,940 --> 02:50:52,940
Luke, pay attention. Yeah, Luke, pay attention. I'm getting backstabbed.

2132
02:50:52,940 --> 02:50:55,940
Anyways. You're on my side. Quite literally.

2133
02:50:55,940 --> 02:50:58,940
He's over there. We're here. Oh, my God.

2134
02:50:58,940 --> 02:51:01,940
Welcome to After Dark, everybody.

2135
02:51:01,940 --> 02:51:06,340
Another thing is like, you don't want those jobs, man.

2136
02:51:06,340 --> 02:51:09,940
Oh, the manufacturing, like assembly line jobs.

2137
02:51:10,940 --> 02:51:15,940
You see videos of it. Seeing it in person is so much worse.

2138
02:51:15,940 --> 02:51:24,940
Like literally somebody had a stick and they just went...

2139
02:51:24,940 --> 02:51:30,740
That's it. There was connectors that a robot would place on something and they just had to push them

2140
02:51:30,740 --> 02:51:39,020
in. Look, I said my piece back when we did our, hey, is it a good time to buy a PC right

2141
02:51:39,020 --> 02:51:45,900
now video? Every time I've done that, I have ended up being quite right about the timing.

2142
02:51:45,900 --> 02:51:54,620
I called it again and the end of that video where people accused me of getting political

2143
02:51:54,620 --> 02:52:01,380
was basically me just saying, hey, the reality of it is the unemployment numbers in North

2144
02:52:01,380 --> 02:52:06,900
America, not just the United States, the unemployment numbers in North America simply

2145
02:52:06,900 --> 02:52:14,300
would not support reshoring these manufacturing jobs, even if every single unemployed person

2146
02:52:14,300 --> 02:52:21,660
suddenly got up and went and sat down at a station on an assembly line.

2147
02:52:21,660 --> 02:52:28,940
So where are these people going to come from? Especially if you're dialing back your immigration, like both Canada and the United States are

2148
02:52:28,940 --> 02:52:34,340
right now. It's also super low paying junk jobs that people aren't going to want.

2149
02:52:34,380 --> 02:52:38,420
This isn't the like, oh, I'm very excited that we added a bunch of jobs to our economy

2150
02:52:38,420 --> 02:52:42,780
jobs. These are not good jobs.

2151
02:52:42,780 --> 02:52:48,180
I mean, with that said. Shank wads in chat says, I used to work in manufacturing assembly line stuff.

2152
02:52:48,180 --> 02:52:55,820
It was genuinely awful. With that said, it's not like I don't fully recognize the strategic importance of having

2153
02:52:55,820 --> 02:52:59,740
domestic manufacturing. Oh, we need some. We very likely need more than we have.

2154
02:52:59,740 --> 02:53:03,500
The fact that China is trying to take over automotive manufacturing.

2155
02:53:03,900 --> 02:53:11,700
Globally is like actually something that Europe and North America and I'm not just

2156
02:53:12,700 --> 02:53:16,540
sorry, not present. Does South America have like domestic automotive manufacturing?

2157
02:53:16,540 --> 02:53:21,500
I actually don't know. I think so. I think some of the multinationals do have manufacturing down there, but do they have

2158
02:53:21,500 --> 02:53:23,500
like domestic manufacturers?

2159
02:53:26,300 --> 02:53:33,100
People are saying yes. So this is something that literally everyone should be recognizing and going like.

2160
02:53:33,900 --> 02:53:36,900
Yo, not cool. Not good.

2161
02:53:36,900 --> 02:53:44,180
What can we do to counter counteract this? But instead we have division right now and we're playing into their hand.

2162
02:53:44,180 --> 02:53:50,180
And I don't know how to. One thing I was going to say is if you if you had thought about it at all over the last

2163
02:53:50,180 --> 02:53:55,380
five to ten years, slash if you're paying attention at all to what's happening in war

2164
02:53:55,380 --> 02:54:02,380
right now, you should probably have drone manufacturing at pretty significant output

2165
02:54:02,420 --> 02:54:05,900
if you are a country at all and wish to continue being one.

2166
02:54:07,540 --> 02:54:09,740
The other thing is you're talking about automotive, dude.

2167
02:54:10,780 --> 02:54:16,220
Damn, that was immediately super apparent when we were there immediately.

2168
02:54:16,260 --> 02:54:20,940
There was a ton of car brands that I had genuinely never heard of.

2169
02:54:21,220 --> 02:54:25,780
And I'm not I'm not talking Xiaomi and BYD and stuff like that.

2170
02:54:25,900 --> 02:54:29,340
Oh, I'm talking so many that I had never heard of.

2171
02:54:29,460 --> 02:54:31,900
We went past a what did they call it?

2172
02:54:33,140 --> 02:54:38,060
Advanced Electric Automotive Plaza or something.

2173
02:54:38,500 --> 02:54:45,620
It was this like enormous mall that was just electric cars.

2174
02:54:46,700 --> 02:54:50,180
From more than 50 percent of the brands I've never heard of.

2175
02:54:50,180 --> 02:54:59,700
And I pay a decent amount of attention to cars. I know. And classic way you can't tell them apart at all because they all just look like

2176
02:54:59,700 --> 02:55:05,060
modern European and American cars. Yep. But they are from a crap ton of brands.

2177
02:55:05,060 --> 02:55:08,420
I wrote in cars that I have never heard of the brand before.

2178
02:55:09,220 --> 02:55:12,380
Vela set asks, are manufacturing jobs usually union?

2179
02:55:14,100 --> 02:55:17,180
So here's the thing.

2180
02:55:17,180 --> 02:55:20,060
In some cases, you know, yes.

2181
02:55:20,380 --> 02:55:27,060
But the low cost manufacturing that is being on short, the quiet part

2182
02:55:27,340 --> 02:55:34,220
that the people working on this endeavor are not saying out loud is that the jobs

2183
02:55:34,220 --> 02:55:40,660
they're bringing on shore are not sustainable at like union salaries, union benefits.

2184
02:55:42,060 --> 02:55:46,340
With the way the demographics are going, I don't know that the American dream

2185
02:55:46,340 --> 02:55:54,780
as we think of it was ever real. I think it was a blip when the baby boomers took advantage of an unprecedented

2186
02:55:55,740 --> 02:56:01,140
glut of resources and human manpower to

2187
02:56:03,780 --> 02:56:09,060
achieve a level of wealth that I just I don't know if will ever be seen again

2188
02:56:09,100 --> 02:56:14,460
by another generation of people. I. I don't know what to tell you.

2189
02:56:14,500 --> 02:56:18,220
The whole idea of a single income like the Simpsons, dude.

2190
02:56:18,460 --> 02:56:22,820
Yeah, Homer, Homer barely didn't know, didn't graduate high school,

2191
02:56:23,060 --> 02:56:28,100
but was a realistic character in the late 80s with a detached home,

2192
02:56:29,300 --> 02:56:34,020
a car, two kids. That's not that's not real.

2193
02:56:35,700 --> 02:56:39,380
Yeah, I mean, there's also a lot of like you look at, no, man,

2194
02:56:39,380 --> 02:56:46,820
now we are getting political. There are policies and inflection points in the states.

2195
02:56:47,660 --> 02:56:51,140
Yeah, Dead Antisocial says now it's Bob's Burgers.

2196
02:56:51,140 --> 02:56:55,140
That's honestly what I like so much about Bob's Burgers. I love that show.

2197
02:56:55,140 --> 02:56:58,140
They do such a great job occasionally.

2198
02:56:58,140 --> 02:57:02,940
Three kids, yeah. Occasionally they they do storylines that and I might even enjoy them.

2199
02:57:02,940 --> 02:57:06,820
Occasionally they do storylines that are not grounded in the reality of,

2200
02:57:06,820 --> 02:57:10,620
you know, what it's like for a low income family like that.

2201
02:57:10,620 --> 02:57:14,700
Like there's an episode where they join like a go-karting league and the way

2202
02:57:14,780 --> 02:57:18,980
they kind of dance their way around it is that the connection that they have

2203
02:57:18,980 --> 02:57:23,580
with a local motorcycle gang allows them to get their hands on a free cart.

2204
02:57:23,580 --> 02:57:27,780
But like, OK, let's just completely ignore that there'd be entry fees and like all this stuff.

2205
02:57:27,780 --> 02:57:29,940
These kids cannot afford to do that activity.

2206
02:57:31,940 --> 02:57:35,540
But yeah, you know, whatever, generally speaking, they make the problems

2207
02:57:35,540 --> 02:57:42,580
that they're trying to solve like super relatable and super real. And I think that they've they've done an incredible, incredible job of

2208
02:57:42,940 --> 02:57:48,500
not allowing it to bloat, not allowing, not not feeling pressured

2209
02:57:48,500 --> 02:57:52,340
to do something bigger and bigger and bigger every season,

2210
02:57:52,340 --> 02:57:57,340
whether it's a bigger celebrity cameo or whether it's like, you know, a bigger adventure.

2211
02:57:57,340 --> 02:58:01,140
You know, Bob and the kids don't need to go to New York

2212
02:58:01,140 --> 02:58:06,340
and then they don't need to one up it by going to Africa and then they don't need to one up that by going to space.

2213
02:58:06,340 --> 02:58:10,540
They can just, you know, hang out at Wonder Wharf,

2214
02:58:12,340 --> 02:58:15,980
you know, not being able to necessarily afford to even ride all the rides.

2215
02:58:15,980 --> 02:58:16,980
It's cool. It's awesome.

2216
02:58:20,740 --> 02:58:25,980
Yeah, Raiden 428 is saying schools are turning out turning out kids that

2217
02:58:25,980 --> 02:58:29,540
I'm editing this slightly that aren't worth minimum wage on short manufacturing.

2218
02:58:29,540 --> 02:58:33,380
We'll have to be automated, right? It has to be. It's hard.

2219
02:58:33,380 --> 02:58:36,780
It's really hard. It's really hard. It's hard.

2220
02:58:36,780 --> 02:58:43,060
It's really hard. It's really expensive. And guess who makes all of the best automated manufacturing?

2221
02:58:45,100 --> 02:58:49,780
And why would they give it to you? Things are going to be really interesting.

2222
02:58:49,780 --> 02:58:54,420
Yeah. As like not a world power, really.

2223
02:58:55,140 --> 02:59:00,100
We're kind of on the sidelines at all. You don't have to add the really I was trying to soften it

2224
02:59:00,100 --> 02:59:02,900
for my patriotic Canadians out there.

2225
02:59:03,500 --> 02:59:08,300
I don't even know if we're going to be a world hockey power in the next 10, 15 years. Dude, have you seen enrollments?

2226
02:59:08,300 --> 02:59:14,700
Yeah. We're like our era of dominance is over, especially at goalies.

2227
02:59:14,700 --> 02:59:17,500
No one can afford to be a goalie anymore. Yeah.

2228
02:59:19,500 --> 02:59:22,500
It started with Tim Horne. Goalie use insanely. Yeah.

2229
02:59:22,500 --> 02:59:25,500
It's been the downfall for us. That's a downfall for us. Yep.

2230
02:59:25,500 --> 02:59:30,500
That was our Rome moment. Jack Layton and Tim Horne's those two bomb.

2231
02:59:30,500 --> 02:59:33,500
Oh, dude. Oh, dude.

2232
02:59:33,500 --> 02:59:37,500
Oh, dude. The Canadians in chat are all like, yeah, can't afford to play hockey.

2233
02:59:37,500 --> 02:59:40,500
There's no more ice. Yeah.

2234
02:59:44,500 --> 02:59:49,500
At one point, I don't know why, but I was driving past the planet ice saying Coquillum.

2235
02:59:49,500 --> 02:59:53,500
And I was like, this was when I was still shopping for badminton center.

2236
02:59:53,500 --> 02:59:57,500
And I was like, okay, I had kind of given up on finding a facility.

2237
02:59:57,500 --> 03:00:00,500
And I was like, gee, I wonder what like planet ice would cost.

2238
03:00:00,500 --> 03:00:04,500
Maybe I could because obviously it's zoned correctly for recreational sport.

2239
03:00:04,500 --> 03:00:10,500
Like, like could I, uh, you know, do badminton there instead or like something near there.

2240
03:00:10,500 --> 03:00:16,500
Anyway, the point, long story short, I looked into what it cost and it's basically like, oh.

2241
03:00:16,500 --> 03:00:23,500
Okay. So real estate prices have gone up so high that unless you're charging like, you know,

2242
03:00:23,500 --> 03:00:27,500
hundreds of dollars an hour for ice time, because the hockey rink is so big.

2243
03:00:27,500 --> 03:00:33,500
Unless you're charging hundreds of dollars an hour for ice time, you are completely running out of loss.

2244
03:00:33,500 --> 03:00:38,500
Even on just your monthly operating expenses, let alone, you know, paying down a mortgage or paying rent.

2245
03:00:38,500 --> 03:00:50,500
Like it's, it's not feasible. Don't blame the rink operators, blame the completely unsustainable cost of the real estate and the energy that it takes to run these things.

2246
03:00:50,500 --> 03:00:59,500
Like it's, it's flipping wild. I mean, even the community centers, which are so expensive for communities to build now that it's borderline unfeasible.

2247
03:00:59,500 --> 03:01:03,500
Like, um, like in Surrey, and this is a fast growing city.

2248
03:01:03,500 --> 03:01:08,500
We are woefully under resourced for like community centers.

2249
03:01:08,500 --> 03:01:12,500
They have, they've built some new stuff, but not nearly enough to account for the population growth.

2250
03:01:12,500 --> 03:01:17,500
And I totally get it because where is this freaking money supposed to come from?

2251
03:01:17,500 --> 03:01:30,500
They're so expensive to build. So when you take the kids in for swimming lessons, they will have like, I kid you not eight plus groups kind of like cordoned off into their like little spots on the ice to go, to go practice ice skating.

2252
03:01:30,500 --> 03:01:40,500
Like imagining that you're going to get in like, like real team sport hockey practice at an affordable price is just, it's a, it's a dream.

2253
03:01:40,500 --> 03:01:47,500
Like when I was a kid, I had a friend who was not a high income, they weren't a high income household, but both kids were in hockey.

2254
03:01:47,500 --> 03:01:51,500
They had all the gear, they did, they did goalie training, they did coaching, they did.

2255
03:01:51,500 --> 03:01:56,500
And I'm looking at it now and I'm going, there is single income.

2256
03:01:56,500 --> 03:02:01,500
There is no way today that that family lives in a detached home.

2257
03:02:01,500 --> 03:02:04,500
Not at all. And this, this is in the nineties. This isn't even, this isn't even the eighties.

2258
03:02:04,500 --> 03:02:16,500
Okay. So this is the mid nineties. That was a single income household plus some like hustle work from time to time for the other income with two kids, hockey lessons, two cars.

2259
03:02:17,500 --> 03:02:24,500
It doesn't exist anymore. And someone was asking, like, do you think the, you know, the boomers kind of wrecked it for everyone or what?

2260
03:02:24,500 --> 03:02:30,500
I can't speculate on that. All I can say is that the reality that I grew up in is gone.

2261
03:02:35,500 --> 03:02:38,500
So this is a depressing show. I want to do some merch messages.

2262
03:02:41,500 --> 03:02:45,500
Why not? Let's see if they get better.

2263
03:02:47,500 --> 03:02:53,500
Someone cheer Luke up. With the downfall of late stage capitalism, do you think the world will know?

2264
03:02:53,500 --> 03:02:55,500
Dan, that's not a merch message.

2265
03:02:56,500 --> 03:03:07,500
With SteamOS becoming more of a thing, would you do another challenge where you and Luke switch as your main OS for a month playing both newer games and older titles such as subcom?

2266
03:03:07,500 --> 03:03:12,500
Yes. I want to, I want to do it again. I've, I've been waiting patiently for SteamOS to be a thing.

2267
03:03:12,500 --> 03:03:15,500
Is there a specific, yeah, is there a specific point where we would do it again?

2268
03:03:16,500 --> 03:03:26,500
What I was waiting for was for Valve to say, okay, SteamOS is ready for prime time as a steam, as SteamOS, not as the OS that we run on the Steam Deck.

2269
03:03:26,500 --> 03:03:29,500
So are we still waiting for that? I don't think we have to.

2270
03:03:29,500 --> 03:03:33,500
I don't think we have to. I mean, wait, no, oh, I'm the only one who's Radeon right now.

2271
03:03:33,500 --> 03:03:38,500
But I mean, that could be one of your challenges. I'm still Radeon, so I could conceivably install SteamOS tomorrow.

2272
03:03:40,500 --> 03:03:43,500
So yeah, maybe, maybe we're not waiting for anything. Maybe it's time.

2273
03:03:44,500 --> 03:03:47,500
Are we just both doing SteamOS then? No.

2274
03:03:47,500 --> 03:03:50,500
Okay, yeah, yeah. But I would go SteamOS. Yeah.

2275
03:03:50,500 --> 03:03:56,500
Just because I don't, I don't want to deal with nothing. Yeah. I want a nice installer that I just install and then I use my computer and I just play games and I don't think about it.

2276
03:03:56,500 --> 03:04:02,500
Cool. Yeah. I am so ready to have a steam machine in my living room though, or in my family room actually.

2277
03:04:02,500 --> 03:04:05,500
That's what I'm doing. Straight to SteamOS.

2278
03:04:05,500 --> 03:04:12,500
Yep. Like dude, Windows as like a living room, man, it's, and it's funny, like Microsoft was so kind of ahead of the game.

2279
03:04:13,500 --> 03:04:17,500
Remember Intel Veev or Vive or whatever and Windows Media Center Edition?

2280
03:04:17,500 --> 03:04:19,500
Windows Media Center Edition. They like, so good.

2281
03:04:20,500 --> 03:04:27,500
I blame the cable, I blame the US cable companies for blocking cable card because dude, like,

2282
03:04:27,500 --> 03:04:31,500
entertainment on the PC was like poised to be a thing.

2283
03:04:32,500 --> 03:04:35,500
Eat a dick, Comcast and friends.

2284
03:04:35,500 --> 03:04:38,500
All right, what else we got? Hello the face, the laugh and the heart.

2285
03:04:38,500 --> 03:04:46,500
If the plus sizes are still student TM, are 4XL plus shirts longer as well as wider?

2286
03:04:46,500 --> 03:04:48,500
Hopefully avoiding the common trap.

2287
03:04:49,500 --> 03:04:50,500
Yeah.

2288
03:04:52,500 --> 03:05:00,500
Oh. If plus sizes are still soon, are the 4XL plus shirts longer as well as wider?

2289
03:05:00,500 --> 03:05:04,500
I think a little bit, but they're not tall longer.

2290
03:05:06,500 --> 03:05:10,500
Reach out to support maybe? Reach out to support just, they are a little backlogged right now.

2291
03:05:10,500 --> 03:05:20,500
We've had a lot more shipments go awry than usual because of, you know, global logistics being completely f***ed.

2292
03:05:21,500 --> 03:05:24,500
So our poor support team has been kind of buried.

2293
03:05:24,500 --> 03:05:31,500
We're throwing more resources at it, but the thing you guys, and I don't want to make excuses, but I do need to offer an explanation.

2294
03:05:31,500 --> 03:05:35,500
The thing you guys need to understand is our customer support is on shore.

2295
03:05:35,500 --> 03:05:47,500
These are employees. These are not just like random people in some call center somewhere with a script that we can just be like, hey, a call center, we need 30% more resources this week.

2296
03:05:47,500 --> 03:05:52,500
Oh, like, so we have onboarding. We have hiring, onboarding, training.

2297
03:05:52,500 --> 03:06:02,500
And the thing that's really challenging is the times when you need to onboard most, the people who would do that onboarding and training are busy answering tickets.

2298
03:06:02,500 --> 03:06:07,500
So we kind of screwed up and we missed an opportunity when things were slow before Shipstorm.

2299
03:06:07,500 --> 03:06:12,500
But then we didn't know Shipstorm was coming. We thought our next big event was going to be, I think, Lime Day.

2300
03:06:12,500 --> 03:06:15,500
Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, we...

2301
03:06:15,500 --> 03:06:21,500
Nobody knew this terrorist attack. We bunged it up. So they might be a little while to get back to you, but they will get back to you eventually.

2302
03:06:22,500 --> 03:06:27,500
Hi, LLD. Any tips for how to avoid info dumping about a project you've been working on?

2303
03:06:27,500 --> 03:06:34,500
I'm doing a presentation about my final project for my degree as an industrial electrician and I think I might overdo it.

2304
03:06:34,500 --> 03:06:38,500
Practice. I thought you meant info dumping like to your friends.

2305
03:06:38,500 --> 03:06:41,500
Yeah. That's why I said don't. Practice.

2306
03:06:41,500 --> 03:06:48,500
Find your ESO or your mom and do the presentation and don't count on them to tell you when they're bored.

2307
03:06:48,500 --> 03:06:51,500
Watch their body language. When they start to...

2308
03:06:51,500 --> 03:06:59,500
Potentially record it. Fidget or like look around or kind of glaze over a little bit, then you know that's boring.

2309
03:06:59,500 --> 03:07:03,500
Like time sync your recordings and record yourself and record them.

2310
03:07:05,500 --> 03:07:13,500
And potentially get a few people. If you could get multiple people, maybe at least three people to watch it, then...

2311
03:07:13,500 --> 03:07:17,500
Because I feel like if it's one person, they feel like they have to pay attention.

2312
03:07:17,500 --> 03:07:21,500
Yeah. If there's a crowd, even if it's three people.

2313
03:07:22,500 --> 03:07:24,500
Well, three is a crowd. Yeah.

2314
03:07:26,500 --> 03:07:30,500
You might be able to get away with them. It's not what my white boyfriend says though.

2315
03:07:30,500 --> 03:07:34,500
Oh boy. Nah, just spending too much time on our slash wall street pets.

2316
03:07:34,500 --> 03:07:37,500
Got it. Strong.

2317
03:07:37,500 --> 03:07:44,500
I wasn't going to say. Yeah, they might feel like it's more socially acceptable to kind of drift off or whatever.

2318
03:07:44,500 --> 03:07:49,500
And you want that because that's going to be the scenario that you're presenting in.

2319
03:07:49,500 --> 03:07:52,500
Yes, I am old enough to remember the show Three's Company.

2320
03:07:52,500 --> 03:07:56,500
Not because I was actually around when it was airing, but because...

2321
03:07:56,500 --> 03:08:03,500
I think I was talking about this last week. We had satellite TV and one of the channels that we had was like oldies.

2322
03:08:03,500 --> 03:08:09,500
So like I've watched a fair bit of All in the Family, I Love Lucy, Three's Company.

2323
03:08:09,500 --> 03:08:13,500
They're so good. Like so good, especially I Love Lucy.

2324
03:08:13,500 --> 03:08:15,500
Lucille Ball is a pioneer.

2325
03:08:17,500 --> 03:08:25,500
The Plex update. Are you aware it was all to do with separating music so that it could become part of CarPlay and Android Auto?

2326
03:08:25,500 --> 03:08:28,500
No. Nice.

2327
03:08:28,500 --> 03:08:33,500
Good work, Plex. Mine is still broken, but I think it might actually be like a true now's permissions thing or something.

2328
03:08:33,500 --> 03:08:37,500
I'm having, I'm having Eshtek look at it and try and fix it for me.

2329
03:08:37,500 --> 03:08:45,500
They actually say that I'm a super useful tester because I managed to find edge cases like nobody else,

2330
03:08:45,500 --> 03:08:49,500
which is weird because I ain't trying to do anything that complicated.

2331
03:08:49,500 --> 03:08:52,500
And to be clear, I'm not running HexOS right now.

2332
03:08:52,500 --> 03:09:01,500
I'm running kind of like a weird, borked, like I installed HexOS when it was like pre-pre-pre-alpha.

2333
03:09:01,500 --> 03:09:05,500
And then we just configured everything in true now's, but then I've updated HexOS.

2334
03:09:05,500 --> 03:09:13,500
So like the front end kind of like is new, but I changed a bunch of stuff on the back end that the new front end like doesn't reflect.

2335
03:09:13,500 --> 03:09:17,500
It's a whole thing. My experience should not be the same as anyone else's.

2336
03:09:18,500 --> 03:09:25,500
All right, DLL, finally purchasing a screwdriver. Luc, did you figure out APIs for accessing pricing on the lab's website?

2337
03:09:25,500 --> 03:09:29,500
Some of them, yeah. Some will just have to scrape, right?

2338
03:09:29,500 --> 03:09:32,500
I mean, we would never scrape. That's bad.

2339
03:09:32,500 --> 03:09:36,500
Actually a conversation that we were going to have to have, but I think I know the conclusion now.

2340
03:09:36,500 --> 03:09:39,500
So thanks. Good job. Good meeting.

2341
03:09:41,500 --> 03:09:42,500
Verbal irony.

2342
03:09:44,500 --> 03:09:47,500
I think the stance was going to be that... We would never scrape.

2343
03:09:47,500 --> 03:09:51,500
If... Yeah. Unless we were forced to.

2344
03:09:51,500 --> 03:09:59,500
Yeah. I think the line is basically going to be if a company is overtly like,

2345
03:09:59,500 --> 03:10:03,500
we don't want you to scrape for any reason, then it's like, all right, well, we won't.

2346
03:10:03,500 --> 03:10:06,500
Like I know of one that...

2347
03:10:06,500 --> 03:10:14,500
We would never do that. Despite having laid out all of the potential benefits and the complete lack of any effort that they would ever need to do,

2348
03:10:14,500 --> 03:10:17,500
they don't want it. So it's like, okay, we're not going to do it.

2349
03:10:17,500 --> 03:10:23,500
And then their prices just won't be featured on the site and it will be harder for their customers to buy their products.

2350
03:10:23,500 --> 03:10:28,500
And it is what it is. I don't agree with their decision, but it's entirely their decision.

2351
03:10:28,500 --> 03:10:35,500
So cool. But there's some outlets that like might not have any of these features at all.

2352
03:10:35,500 --> 03:10:38,500
And we can be like, hey, we can just do it.

2353
03:10:38,500 --> 03:10:41,500
And if they're like, sure, then we be scraping.

2354
03:10:41,500 --> 03:10:45,500
That's the current, I think, makes sense stance that I was going to take.

2355
03:10:45,500 --> 03:10:50,500
What if there was like a third party that scraped the outlet that didn't want people scraping,

2356
03:10:50,500 --> 03:10:53,500
but we just like used that. We just used their data.

2357
03:10:53,500 --> 03:10:57,500
Yeah. Because then we're not doing it. If this is the stance you want to go with, it sounds good.

2358
03:10:57,500 --> 03:11:10,500
I mean, the people need pricing data. The internet is being ravaged right now by scrapers to pretend that's not happening is like hilarious at this point.

2359
03:11:10,500 --> 03:11:13,500
So I think I don't care that much anymore.

2360
03:11:13,500 --> 03:11:16,500
Oh, yeah. But we would never scrape. I cared a lot in the past.

2361
03:11:16,500 --> 03:11:18,500
Yeah. We would never do that.

2362
03:11:20,500 --> 03:11:26,500
But if like the data was like there just on the web page.

2363
03:11:27,500 --> 03:11:30,500
Like if it was on our site, like it wouldn't be because we scraped it.

2364
03:11:30,500 --> 03:11:35,500
Right. Right. We're just using a publicly available list from someone else.

2365
03:11:35,500 --> 03:11:38,500
Yeah, maybe. I don't know. Right.

2366
03:11:38,500 --> 03:11:41,500
I mean, I don't want to know where it came from necessarily. I just know that I've never scraped.

2367
03:11:41,500 --> 03:11:44,500
Okay. Yeah. Got it.

2368
03:11:44,500 --> 03:11:47,500
Personally, you would never be the one to copy and paste. No.

2369
03:11:47,500 --> 03:11:50,500
Linus is not going to go to his monitor with a squeegee. No, I wouldn't.

2370
03:11:50,500 --> 03:11:53,500
Yeah, he wouldn't do that. I wouldn't do that. My monitors are filthy.

2371
03:11:53,500 --> 03:11:56,500
Yeah. Look at this display. It's disgusting.

2372
03:11:56,500 --> 03:11:59,500
It's actually gross. Yeah. See?

2373
03:11:59,500 --> 03:12:02,500
There you go. Hold on. Oh, yeah.

2374
03:12:02,500 --> 03:12:05,500
Wait. Oh, Dan. It's even worse.

2375
03:12:05,500 --> 03:12:08,500
There you go. So gross. See?

2376
03:12:08,500 --> 03:12:11,500
I wouldn't scrape. Nope. Never.

2377
03:12:11,500 --> 03:12:17,260
I don't know, man. I mean, if you're displaying someone's pricing information for the purpose of driving customers

2378
03:12:17,260 --> 03:12:20,500
to their website, I mean.

2379
03:12:20,500 --> 03:12:26,860
It seems pretty straightforward, doesn't it? It really does. A particular store wants to drive people to come in physically.

2380
03:12:26,860 --> 03:12:30,540
I mean, that's nice, but how are they going to drive people to come in physically if

2381
03:12:30,540 --> 03:12:37,860
they don't know the price of the product? So that's pretty asinine.

2382
03:12:37,860 --> 03:12:40,860
Cool.

2383
03:12:40,860 --> 03:12:45,180
Cool. Is it Best Buy? I'm not answering who it is.

2384
03:12:45,180 --> 03:12:48,180
Oh, yeah. We're not going to be answering who it is. Yeah.

2385
03:12:48,180 --> 03:12:51,580
We're just going to have pricing information probably obtained from some third party who

2386
03:12:52,580 --> 03:12:56,180
I don't know where they got it. Who knows?

2387
03:12:56,180 --> 03:12:59,180
Who knows? Who knows even who they are? I don't know who they are.

2388
03:12:59,180 --> 03:13:02,180
I don't know. Next one.

2389
03:13:02,180 --> 03:13:07,580
Linus. Have you watched the ANO 117 trailer?

2390
03:13:07,580 --> 03:13:15,500
It looks like they may be bringing back land combat like we had in 1602.

2391
03:13:15,500 --> 03:13:19,700
I haven't yet. 11 days ago.

2392
03:13:19,700 --> 03:13:22,820
Ooh. What's like new? New.

2393
03:13:22,820 --> 03:13:26,620
I didn't even know this happened.

2394
03:13:26,620 --> 03:13:30,460
You wish to be a Roman governor. That's a cool.

2395
03:13:30,460 --> 03:13:33,460
Fish and grids, boost productivity. Yep.

2396
03:13:33,460 --> 03:13:38,980
This looks like ANO. All right. I feel like they saw the memes of like every dude thinks about Rome and they were just

2397
03:13:38,980 --> 03:13:42,300
like, okay, done.

2398
03:13:42,300 --> 03:13:46,940
You have one day easy.

2399
03:13:46,940 --> 03:13:50,800
Build your lumber camps wisely. All right.

2400
03:13:50,800 --> 03:13:54,180
Yeah. I mean, yeah, this, ooh, this looks like ANO all right.

2401
03:13:54,180 --> 03:14:00,780
I was going to say, it looks great. It looks like a Roman skin, but it looks great.

2402
03:14:00,780 --> 03:14:03,860
I'm not complaining about that to be clear.

2403
03:14:03,860 --> 03:14:07,500
I wouldn't want them to change it too much to be honest. It's going to be steamy in here.

2404
03:14:07,500 --> 03:14:10,500
Things are. Ooh. You like that?

2405
03:14:10,500 --> 03:14:13,500
You saw like cargo ship? Oh. Trade and alliances.

2406
03:14:13,500 --> 03:14:16,500
Can build. Okay.

2407
03:14:16,500 --> 03:14:21,500
So where are we seeing this land combat? Yeah. I haven't seen anything that encased land combat yet personally.

2408
03:14:21,500 --> 03:14:24,500
Hmm. Trade and treachery.

2409
03:14:24,500 --> 03:14:30,500
Yeah. Well, I don't, I don't see anything like that yet.

2410
03:14:30,500 --> 03:14:33,500
Whoa. Build a Colosseum. Let's go.

2411
03:14:33,500 --> 03:14:39,500
For your robot. I'll play it.

2412
03:14:39,500 --> 03:14:42,500
Yeah. Of course. Is this going to play that?

2413
03:14:42,500 --> 03:14:45,500
Yeah. I didn't even do this. I scrolled down.

2414
03:14:45,500 --> 03:14:48,500
How often do you think about the Roman Empire? Anno players?

2415
03:14:48,500 --> 03:14:53,500
Yes. It's, it's, it's, it's the meme dude.

2416
03:14:53,500 --> 03:14:56,500
Wait. Land. Yeah.

2417
03:14:56,500 --> 03:15:01,500
People in the comments land combat is back on the menu. Why did we know if we, did we just not see that part?

2418
03:15:01,500 --> 03:15:04,500
Might have skipped through it.

2419
03:15:04,500 --> 03:15:07,500
Nobody timestamped it. Come on.

2420
03:15:07,500 --> 03:15:11,500
Yeah. Just YouTube commenters timestamp more.

2421
03:15:11,500 --> 03:15:15,500
A lot of the time I have no idea what you're talking about. That cow's walk was hilarious.

2422
03:15:15,500 --> 03:15:21,500
What? Where? People don't scroll in that much.

2423
03:15:21,500 --> 03:15:24,500
That's how you know this is in-game footage.

2424
03:15:24,500 --> 03:15:27,500
Oh yeah. True. Yeah.

2425
03:15:27,500 --> 03:15:30,500
It's, it's AI. It's all just fake.

2426
03:15:30,500 --> 03:15:34,500
Is that five minutes apparently? Five minutes.

2427
03:15:34,500 --> 03:15:37,500
How'd I miss that? Yeah.

2428
03:15:37,500 --> 03:15:40,500
You were right there, right? Yeah. I thought so.

2429
03:15:40,500 --> 03:15:43,500
That doesn't indicate anything, by the way. Yeah.

2430
03:15:43,500 --> 03:15:46,500
This might, that sure did actually. Oh, okay.

2431
03:15:46,500 --> 03:15:49,500
Land and naval combat maybe. Interesting.

2432
03:15:49,500 --> 03:15:52,500
Wow. They show it for half a second maybe.

2433
03:15:52,500 --> 03:15:55,500
Surprise. All right. Cool.

2434
03:15:55,500 --> 03:15:58,500
More? Yeah. Hit me.

2435
03:15:58,500 --> 03:16:02,500
Hey DLL. How do creators cover the significant hours and costs to get to Computex?

2436
03:16:02,500 --> 03:16:07,500
Are most on comp flights and hotel or chancing that views plus sponsor will cover it?

2437
03:16:07,500 --> 03:16:10,500
It seems like a significant outlay. Very significantly.

2438
03:16:10,500 --> 03:16:15,500
So what we do is we sell sponsorships for the videos ahead of time.

2439
03:16:15,500 --> 03:16:18,500
We get in touch with as many brands as we're able to.

2440
03:16:18,500 --> 03:16:22,500
A lot of them are really cagey about telling us what they're going to have at the show,

2441
03:16:22,500 --> 03:16:29,500
which is, I understand, you know, their perspective, but also it is supremely unhelpful when we

2442
03:16:29,500 --> 03:16:38,500
are trying to manage, like you said, the hours and cost that the show entails.

2443
03:16:38,500 --> 03:16:43,500
So we basically get sponsor commits up front for a number of videos that we'll produce.

2444
03:16:43,500 --> 03:16:51,340
We usually under promise and try to over deliver. And then we do those videos and we make sure that the numbers kind of pan out honestly

2445
03:16:51,340 --> 03:16:54,440
this year. Not great.

2446
03:16:54,440 --> 03:17:01,460
We didn't get as much content as we would have liked. We did get as much as we promised because we, you know, we tried to play it safe.

2447
03:17:01,460 --> 03:17:06,500
But even some of the content that we did get, like that gold GPU didn't have to be a Computex

2448
03:17:06,500 --> 03:17:11,100
video. It just was desperate for something to make a video about and I was like, okay, why don't

2449
03:17:11,100 --> 03:17:18,140
we arrange to buy a gold GPU while we're there? And then if there's nothing, then we'll just like use that as one of our Computex videos.

2450
03:17:18,140 --> 03:17:25,740
I could have done that here. And so that was just an additional 8,000 US dollars of cost for that video that is on

2451
03:17:25,740 --> 03:17:29,380
top of, you know, the cost of being in Taipei.

2452
03:17:29,380 --> 03:17:37,100
I mean, some of it was Creator Warehouse. So I think it was only somewhere between 12 and 15 people were there from LMG, like actually

2453
03:17:37,100 --> 03:17:45,140
working on video stuff, but that is huge, like hotel for a week, flights to and from,

2454
03:17:45,140 --> 03:17:52,820
that is an enormous cost. And I suspect we didn't lose money, but I don't think we made much on Computex this

2455
03:17:52,820 --> 03:17:57,140
year. And that's why it would be helpful if companies just told us what they're freaking bringing

2456
03:17:57,140 --> 03:18:00,500
because it's very unlikely that we're not going to go to the show, but we might have

2457
03:18:00,500 --> 03:18:03,940
a different amount of people going.

2458
03:18:03,940 --> 03:18:09,300
It would help us with resource allocation for sure. I think next year we'll take a smaller team.

2459
03:18:09,300 --> 03:18:14,260
Yeah. I mean, if it's anything like this year, I think you'd have to.

2460
03:18:14,260 --> 03:18:17,980
Oh yeah. It was so slow this year. Content is not there.

2461
03:18:17,980 --> 03:18:24,860
Two GPUs that nobody wants and then a processor that nobody can afford.

2462
03:18:24,860 --> 03:18:28,180
And that was from, that was what the A players had.

2463
03:18:28,180 --> 03:18:32,380
Yeah. Cool. And everybody else didn't have much.

2464
03:18:32,380 --> 03:18:36,060
Yeah. Everybody on it, make no other changes.

2465
03:18:36,060 --> 03:18:41,420
Slap a screen on it. Make no other changes. And a bigger one.

2466
03:18:41,420 --> 03:18:45,900
Is there a screen already on your CPU cool or cool? Make it this big for some reason.

2467
03:18:45,900 --> 03:18:49,300
Like what are we doing? It's not like they don't look cool. Like it's not like I don't understand it.

2468
03:18:49,300 --> 03:18:52,380
If I see a build on our slash battle station, so that's a big screen on the cooler, I'll

2469
03:18:52,380 --> 03:18:55,980
be like, oh, that's pretty cool. You put your Nyan cat on there or whatever.

2470
03:18:55,980 --> 03:19:01,540
Like I get it why people might buy it, but don't expect us to be excited about it from

2471
03:19:01,540 --> 03:19:04,860
like a technical standpoint. That's all.

2472
03:19:04,860 --> 03:19:14,180
More? Oh yeah. Linus, are you still torturing yourself with the bubblies in the fridge or on a new drink?

2473
03:19:14,180 --> 03:19:21,860
No, that's still my garbage drink that I hate that is my methadone so that I won't drink

2474
03:19:21,860 --> 03:19:24,860
soda. Oh. Yeah.

2475
03:19:24,860 --> 03:19:29,500
If I crave something, something ice cold and carbonated, then instead of grabbing a

2476
03:19:29,500 --> 03:19:36,580
soda pop, I go for the bubbly. It's very helpful that I think cola sucks and I can't drink it.

2477
03:19:36,580 --> 03:19:40,780
Well, I can drink it, but it sucks. Well, I shouldn't say it sucks.

2478
03:19:40,780 --> 03:19:47,860
Cane sugar coke is pretty good. Can be pretty refreshing on a hot day, but cola is not really my favorite.

2479
03:19:47,860 --> 03:19:54,860
So in order to have soda available for guests, but that I won't drink, I just keep Pepsi and

2480
03:19:54,860 --> 03:19:57,860
Coke in the fridge because most people will drink cola.

2481
03:19:58,620 --> 03:20:03,900
Oh, no, my weakness is Nes tea or like sweetened iced tea.

2482
03:20:03,900 --> 03:20:06,900
So much sugar. Dude. I would go to a red robin.

2483
03:20:06,900 --> 03:20:13,020
They have bottomless drinks. I'd go there back in the day and I would literally down like half a dozen tall iced teas over

2484
03:20:13,020 --> 03:20:18,700
the span of like sitting there and conversing in appetizers and meal and afterwards and

2485
03:20:18,700 --> 03:20:21,700
stuff. Like, oh, so bad. Speaking of...

2486
03:20:21,700 --> 03:20:25,140
Like actually a week's worth of calories. Really bad vices.

2487
03:20:25,140 --> 03:20:31,380
That was another thing that I struggled with in China, just more personally.

2488
03:20:31,380 --> 03:20:36,420
This used to be much more of a thing in Taiwan and to Taiwan's credit is not nearly as much

2489
03:20:36,420 --> 03:20:44,660
of a thing these days. I don't know if you've noticed this change, but smoking, incredibly rampant in China and

2490
03:20:44,660 --> 03:20:49,700
they don't have any problems with it as far as I can tell being done indoors.

2491
03:20:49,700 --> 03:20:53,900
So everywhere you go, there's just clouds and I don't do super well with cigarette

2492
03:20:53,900 --> 03:20:56,900
smoke. I was like... Well, you're not used to it.

2493
03:20:56,900 --> 03:21:02,420
Out of it the whole time. Yeah. Because I had secondhand smoke every single day.

2494
03:21:02,420 --> 03:21:07,140
Yeah. You're going to have to burn your clothes.

2495
03:21:07,140 --> 03:21:10,300
Did you come back smelling like it?

2496
03:21:10,300 --> 03:21:18,260
I don't think so because I had fresh clothes and the last day was really short until I

2497
03:21:18,260 --> 03:21:20,620
was just traveling.

2498
03:21:21,540 --> 03:21:26,260
More. I've been looking to get a framework laptop for a few years now.

2499
03:21:26,260 --> 03:21:30,700
Do you still carry a framework around? Will you do a review of the Framework 12?

2500
03:21:30,700 --> 03:21:34,140
Also as a PC Linux gamer, it's been seamless.

2501
03:21:34,140 --> 03:21:37,340
That's good to know. I haven't been on my framework recently.

2502
03:21:37,340 --> 03:21:41,260
I've been on my... Investment disclosure. Investment disclosure.

2503
03:21:41,260 --> 03:21:45,700
I've been on my Flow X13. I like that it has the eGPU.

2504
03:21:45,700 --> 03:21:53,060
I like that it has a pretty powerful onboard GPU. I like being able to turn it into a tablet for looking at my notes.

2505
03:21:53,060 --> 03:21:57,500
It has a good keyboard. Battery life could be better.

2506
03:21:57,500 --> 03:22:02,220
I am planning to at least do a ShortCircuit of the Framework 12. Pretty excited to see it in person.

2507
03:22:02,220 --> 03:22:07,380
If there's ever a product or a brand I should say, what is your laptop doing?

2508
03:22:07,380 --> 03:22:12,260
Why is it freaking out? It just does that. I also can't change my brightness.

2509
03:22:12,260 --> 03:22:16,060
I'm probably going to move off of this thing soon. I can't...

2510
03:22:16,060 --> 03:22:21,300
Thunderbolt 5 can't come soon enough for me. Tweaking right now. I can just not care about XG Mobile.

2511
03:22:21,300 --> 03:22:26,500
You could get a Dell. That it just gave up and... Dude, honestly, like...

2512
03:22:26,500 --> 03:22:30,180
These WAN laptops have been the best laptops I've used in a long time.

2513
03:22:30,180 --> 03:22:33,380
Just kind of bulletproof. Matt's screen, super light.

2514
03:22:33,380 --> 03:22:40,860
Dude, they don't have the HDMI issue that we had with the other one. The battery life on some of the recent Dell's are like...

2515
03:22:40,860 --> 03:22:45,980
Really good. I don't know, man. Only one secret shopper.

2516
03:22:45,980 --> 03:22:51,500
Huge upset victory. I'm still not quite sure how it happened.

2517
03:22:51,500 --> 03:22:55,500
I'm not done. I'm like three quarters through the video. It's not so much that Dell won.

2518
03:22:55,500 --> 03:23:00,500
Everyone else lost. Yeah. That's the vibe I've been getting so far watching through.

2519
03:23:00,500 --> 03:23:04,500
Yep. Crap, what was I going to say?

2520
03:23:04,500 --> 03:23:07,500
I had something to say. Don't remember what it was. Probably didn't remember that much.

2521
03:23:07,500 --> 03:23:10,620
All right. Hey, thanks, Jay Thomas.

2522
03:23:10,620 --> 03:23:15,780
Just some positive support. As someone from the US, I truly think the prices on the US are extremely reasonable

2523
03:23:15,780 --> 03:23:19,380
and honestly not unreasonable compared to other US sites and products.

2524
03:23:19,380 --> 03:23:22,700
Then you add on the quality, you guys still knock it out of the park. Heck, yeah.

2525
03:23:22,700 --> 03:23:25,700
Thank you. Thanks, man. We do our best.

2526
03:23:25,700 --> 03:23:29,460
What I was going to say is if there was any company that you really wanted to support,

2527
03:23:29,460 --> 03:23:33,100
but didn't want to financially support them that much, just wanted to give an incredible

2528
03:23:33,100 --> 03:23:37,020
amount of free advertising and have a justified reason for doing so, you could just invest

2529
03:23:37,020 --> 03:23:43,700
like five bucks and then just investment disclosure it constantly.

2530
03:23:43,700 --> 03:23:47,020
It's a good move. If it will work around.

2531
03:23:47,020 --> 03:23:52,780
Hold on. If I was equally invested in every laptop company, would I have to disclose any of them?

2532
03:23:52,780 --> 03:23:59,780
No, I'm serious. I think so. If I put a quarter million dollars into Dell and a quarter million dollars into ASUS and

2533
03:23:59,780 --> 03:24:06,260
MSI and everyone, then does it, do they cancel each other out?

2534
03:24:07,100 --> 03:24:11,140
I wonder, because if you were like...

2535
03:24:11,140 --> 03:24:16,660
The answer is no, calm down, but... Yeah, but if you were invested in, I'm not very good with stock stuff.

2536
03:24:16,660 --> 03:24:20,980
If you're invested in a, am I going to say the right thing, ETF that invested in one

2537
03:24:20,980 --> 03:24:23,980
of those companies. Then you're not responsible for that. You don't have to say anything.

2538
03:24:23,980 --> 03:24:27,620
Yeah, that's right.

2539
03:24:27,620 --> 03:24:34,060
But you would still have an interest in that company doing better.

2540
03:24:34,780 --> 03:24:41,940
Given that it's me and that I literally don't even know what Yvonne has investments in,

2541
03:24:41,940 --> 03:24:51,220
I legitimately don't know. I think we do own some stock pools like that.

2542
03:24:51,220 --> 03:24:56,020
Mutual fund, that sort of thing. But I literally don't even know it's in it.

2543
03:24:56,020 --> 03:24:59,660
You don't get a choice most of the time to buy yourself.

2544
03:24:59,660 --> 03:25:04,060
If she invests in something and you don't know, and then you don't investment disclosure

2545
03:25:04,060 --> 03:25:09,140
it when talking about it or its competitors, can you get in trouble?

2546
03:25:09,140 --> 03:25:12,140
I don't know. Oh, I'm sure you could.

2547
03:25:12,140 --> 03:25:23,060
I don't think you can claim ignorance very easily. If it's part of a pool of stocks, though, like Yvonne has purchased a half a million

2548
03:25:23,060 --> 03:25:28,020
in Dell. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely, yeah, like as a spouse.

2549
03:25:29,020 --> 03:25:36,820
I don't know, man. I got to be honest with you, though. I think it's less a question of like, is that legal or is that not legal and more a question

2550
03:25:36,820 --> 03:25:40,620
of like, what would the enforcement of that even look like? Yeah, practically nothing.

2551
03:25:40,620 --> 03:25:48,740
What are the odds? Yeah. I mean, we know about a lot of this stuff.

2552
03:25:48,740 --> 03:25:53,540
We've received the emails that were accidentally sent to us instead of other people knowing

2553
03:25:53,540 --> 03:25:58,980
that these people are doing deals. We know, like, I don't know, it's a...

2554
03:25:58,980 --> 03:26:02,100
Oh, you're talking just like undisclosed like sponsorships and stuff?

2555
03:26:02,100 --> 03:26:09,860
Yeah, I know, I know. It's not my place to just like become a drama creator and like out other creators.

2556
03:26:09,860 --> 03:26:13,580
That's not even what we're talking about. That's that's that's separate from like the stocks discussion.

2557
03:26:17,140 --> 03:26:22,540
Anyway, this is for Luke with his new obsession with West Abuse.

2558
03:26:22,540 --> 03:26:25,700
Have you seen or heard of cowboy action shooting?

2559
03:26:25,740 --> 03:26:29,660
To participate, you are required to dress up and have a cowboy nickname.

2560
03:26:29,660 --> 03:26:32,860
It's cosplay with a gun. Cow.

2561
03:26:32,860 --> 03:26:36,060
Okay, what cowboy action?

2562
03:26:36,060 --> 03:26:37,060
It's a competition.

2563
03:26:45,860 --> 03:26:52,260
A little feathered cap going on. This is a family friendly sport.

2564
03:26:52,260 --> 03:26:56,060
Real guns with live ammo. With robot. Dooley's.

2565
03:26:56,060 --> 03:27:02,100
Yeah. Dooley Revolvers. Pull one back a little bit to shoot the other one for absolutely no reason.

2566
03:27:02,100 --> 03:27:05,540
Let's go. That's sick. It's fun.

2567
03:27:05,540 --> 03:27:08,540
I used to do it. I don't know. It looks like it's probably fun.

2568
03:27:08,540 --> 03:27:11,540
I have no idea. Why not? Sure.

2569
03:27:11,540 --> 03:27:15,980
I'm assuming it's shotgun lever action. Dooley Revolver. I'm assuming it's three gun.

2570
03:27:15,980 --> 03:27:19,700
Oh, yeah. Insomniac said it's three gun with old school cowboy air gear.

2571
03:27:19,700 --> 03:27:23,100
Yeah, that makes sense. Oh, that's that's pretty cool. Actually.

2572
03:27:23,100 --> 03:27:30,660
Yeah. Real actual shooting sport. You run kind of from station to station and there will be like usually on the table there

2573
03:27:30,660 --> 03:27:36,180
would be a firearm there with ammo and you would like load it and then shoot at that

2574
03:27:36,180 --> 03:27:41,940
station then you go to the next one. One of the stations is probably for your Dooley pistols.

2575
03:27:41,940 --> 03:27:46,460
I don't know, whatever.

2576
03:27:46,460 --> 03:27:49,460
Let people have fun. There's so much darkness. Oh, yeah.

2577
03:27:49,460 --> 03:27:53,340
Everybody's got to have their special little guy. Yeah.

2578
03:27:53,380 --> 03:27:59,300
Linus, do your kids think your job is cool or is dad's job always by default quote unquote

2579
03:27:59,300 --> 03:28:02,620
uncool to kids even if it's successful YouTuber?

2580
03:28:02,620 --> 03:28:07,060
No, my job is definitely cool.

2581
03:28:07,060 --> 03:28:13,620
And that's not that seriously like I this this comes from a place of like generally,

2582
03:28:13,620 --> 03:28:19,780
you know, overthinking almost everything about parenting and you know, try like legitimately

2583
03:28:19,780 --> 03:28:26,860
making an effort to not be a super uncool parent, but also not trying to be too tryhard

2584
03:28:26,860 --> 03:28:31,780
like I'm trying to kind of ride the line, you know, like I game with my kids, but when

2585
03:28:31,780 --> 03:28:37,140
their friends are over, I try not to insert myself into, you know, their gaming situation.

2586
03:28:37,140 --> 03:28:51,420
You know, stuff like that, right? But content creator is literally content creator is literally the most desired job on this

2587
03:28:51,420 --> 03:29:01,500
continent. So yeah, a lot of their friends like know what Yvonne and I do and think it's pretty

2588
03:29:01,500 --> 03:29:09,100
neat for the most part. They're not weird about it, which is really cool because I just like want to be my kids

2589
03:29:09,100 --> 03:29:12,420
dad when we're hosting a birthday party or whatever else.

2590
03:29:12,420 --> 03:29:19,980
But it's actually I'd say it's more the parents that make it weird and like ask too many questions

2591
03:29:19,980 --> 03:29:24,540
and stuff when I'm just trying to like be a parent of my kids and you know, flip burgers

2592
03:29:24,540 --> 03:29:28,820
or whatever. Yeah, overall it's overall it's good.

2593
03:29:28,820 --> 03:29:31,820
It's good. Yeah. Yeah.

2594
03:29:32,180 --> 03:29:39,340
DLL, Phil major here, considering Gabe plus Elon's investment in brain chips, how augmented

2595
03:29:39,340 --> 03:29:42,340
must humanity be to become inhuman?

2596
03:29:42,340 --> 03:29:46,220
On the other end, how lacking must a human be to become inhuman?

2597
03:29:46,220 --> 03:29:50,740
There's tons of arguments that were already augmented. Oh, I like that one too.

2598
03:29:50,740 --> 03:29:56,020
Cell phone. Yeah. There's a lot of people that like basically can't function without their phone attached

2599
03:29:56,020 --> 03:29:59,020
to them. How dare you? So like.

2600
03:29:59,380 --> 03:30:04,180
Linus doesn't get to use as well and have too fat. Is it being wireless?

2601
03:30:04,180 --> 03:30:07,420
Does it really make that big of a difference? That's always been my argument.

2602
03:30:07,420 --> 03:30:11,300
Yeah. It's in my hand. I leave my pocket to be honest.

2603
03:30:11,300 --> 03:30:18,340
I like that one too. I think the like kind of modern era of smartphones has has already effectively started.

2604
03:30:18,340 --> 03:30:23,220
I don't know the answer to this, but what I do know is that the people who cross that

2605
03:30:23,260 --> 03:30:31,460
threshold will not realize it because like we just don't we're not it's like like when

2606
03:30:31,460 --> 03:30:38,660
you're hangry, it takes a pretty exceptional person I've observed to recognize that and

2607
03:30:38,660 --> 03:30:46,100
rectify it like to have the self-awareness and the the presence of mind to recognize

2608
03:30:46,180 --> 03:30:54,180
when you are no longer yourself, even with something that is as rapidly or that on sets

2609
03:30:54,180 --> 03:30:59,140
as rapidly as that is pretty unusual in people.

2610
03:30:59,140 --> 03:31:07,540
And so to imagine what percentage of the population would recognize the slow, slow evolution

2611
03:31:07,540 --> 03:31:12,420
into becoming more and more augmented and how that impacts their their manner of behavior

2612
03:31:12,420 --> 03:31:18,660
and their thinking processes, I think would be I just don't think it would be a thing.

2613
03:31:19,540 --> 03:31:27,140
Here's a question. Yeah. If your body was failing, you're old, it's time.

2614
03:31:27,140 --> 03:31:30,660
You're going to be saying goodbye to the mortal coil sometime soon.

2615
03:31:31,300 --> 03:31:35,540
And you know that whole like freeze your brain thing?

2616
03:31:35,540 --> 03:31:44,740
Yeah. If that crew of people kind of figures it out and it's it's not freeze your brain,

2617
03:31:44,740 --> 03:31:47,060
it's brain jar and it works now.

2618
03:31:48,020 --> 03:31:49,780
You can effectively be a computer.

2619
03:31:51,620 --> 03:31:55,620
You transplant your brain from your dying body into a jar and yeah.

2620
03:31:55,620 --> 03:31:59,140
I don't think my brain is important enough to preserve in that way.

2621
03:31:59,140 --> 03:32:03,140
But no, no, no, it's still you. I know, but I but like what would I do?

2622
03:32:03,140 --> 03:32:09,540
I don't keep making YouTube videos. You could get one of those boxing robot bodies and keep moving around and stuff.

2623
03:32:09,540 --> 03:32:14,020
You could be there for your kids. I want my senses. I want to experience things.

2624
03:32:14,020 --> 03:32:17,700
You have digital versions of those. Or we could put you in a body and give you that.

2625
03:32:17,700 --> 03:32:21,380
Okay. You keep changing the scenario. I thought we're talking about a brain in a jar.

2626
03:32:21,380 --> 03:32:25,540
Yeah. Well, a brain in a jar is not the same thing. You could hook a brain in a jar up to stuff.

2627
03:32:25,540 --> 03:32:28,660
This would be like a neural link, if you know what I mean.

2628
03:32:28,660 --> 03:32:32,500
Okay. So hold on. What is it? So I have a mechanical body.

2629
03:32:32,500 --> 03:32:35,540
Sure. I can sense things as I would.

2630
03:32:35,540 --> 03:32:40,580
Literally just ghost in the show. I can perceive the world as I would. I don't know if I would 100% say that it would be as you would.

2631
03:32:41,380 --> 03:32:45,700
It could be a little bit different. Well, that changes the calculus, doesn't it? It might actually technically be enhanced.

2632
03:32:45,700 --> 03:32:50,420
Like you might have like telescoping cameras and sort of eyes.

2633
03:32:50,420 --> 03:32:54,500
Ghost in the show. Okay. Ghost in the show. Coming back to our conversation from the pre-show, does my d**k work?

2634
03:32:57,540 --> 03:33:00,660
The question you should be asking is do all of them work?

2635
03:33:01,300 --> 03:33:01,620
Okay.

2636
03:33:06,580 --> 03:33:10,100
That's a good one. See, this is what transhumanism is great.

2637
03:33:10,100 --> 03:33:13,540
I think the answer would be like, yes, but not the same.

2638
03:33:13,540 --> 03:33:16,500
Everything's going to be a little bit different. One of my biggest...

2639
03:33:18,580 --> 03:33:23,860
Okay. It's not like they aren't making big advancements in delaying aging,

2640
03:33:23,860 --> 03:33:29,380
and potentially even reversing aging. There's been some really promising experiments on mice and stuff.

2641
03:33:31,060 --> 03:33:33,940
And so it's something that I've thought about,

2642
03:33:34,900 --> 03:33:40,100
because conceivably, if I were to keep earning at the rate that I am now,

2643
03:33:40,100 --> 03:33:43,620
I could potentially afford an experimental anti-aging treatment

2644
03:33:43,620 --> 03:33:46,420
once I reach the point where, yeah, I'm about to kick it.

2645
03:33:47,620 --> 03:33:51,780
And there's a couple things that I've thought about that scenario.

2646
03:33:52,500 --> 03:33:58,820
Like I think it'd be a really interesting sci-fi story where the people,

2647
03:33:58,820 --> 03:34:02,740
the rich people who could afford anti-aging are mingled in

2648
03:34:02,740 --> 03:34:09,860
with the population of naturally youthful people. And there's a distrust in the dating scene of like...

2649
03:34:09,860 --> 03:34:13,540
Are you actually 170 years old? Yeah, and so...

2650
03:34:13,540 --> 03:34:18,420
I'm a 20-year-old. Kind of like Blade Runner, right? Where the robots are trying to mix in with the humans.

2651
03:34:18,420 --> 03:34:23,460
You have these old people that are trying to pass as young people

2652
03:34:23,460 --> 03:34:28,100
and live there, in some cases, second or third or fourth or fifth.

2653
03:34:28,660 --> 03:34:29,940
You know, lifetime.

2654
03:34:31,940 --> 03:34:36,820
And the resentment from the natural... These are like the actual people when it's like you should have bought a house

2655
03:34:36,820 --> 03:34:43,220
when you were a fetus and they were like, uh-huh. Yeah, and so like I'm imagining the resentment that the natural people...

2656
03:34:43,220 --> 03:34:48,660
Because I'm kind of imagining this world is sort of resource limited.

2657
03:34:48,660 --> 03:34:54,180
And so most of the people being born today can't afford more than one life.

2658
03:34:54,180 --> 03:34:58,580
And so people who are... There's this deep resentment towards the people who are on their fifth one.

2659
03:34:58,580 --> 03:35:02,020
And like I thought about, okay, like, you know, what would be the markers

2660
03:35:02,020 --> 03:35:07,620
that these ancient people would go to great lengths to conceal.

2661
03:35:07,620 --> 03:35:15,620
You know, one of them might be teeth. You know, they would try to have teeth that are not too perfect.

2662
03:35:15,620 --> 03:35:21,220
But look, you know, the right age and they'd have to get them like maybe surgically replaced

2663
03:35:21,220 --> 03:35:26,340
every five years or so so that they kind of match the state of their aging.

2664
03:35:26,340 --> 03:35:30,340
And so like it's stuff that I thought about a little bit. Just says just kind of a fun thought experiment.

2665
03:35:30,340 --> 03:35:33,620
I think that'd be a really cool story that someone smarter than more creative

2666
03:35:33,620 --> 03:35:37,300
than me could write. Like Blade Runner, but for boomers. Yeah, yeah.

2667
03:35:37,300 --> 03:35:39,620
Boomer Runner. You're actually a boomer.

2668
03:35:40,580 --> 03:35:47,380
You were born in the 2000s. Get him. Anyway, one of the things that I've thought about is, you know,

2669
03:35:47,380 --> 03:35:54,020
the heartbreaking story of the person who could afford to extend their own lifetime,

2670
03:35:54,660 --> 03:35:58,820
but not their spouse and not their kids and what that life would be.

2671
03:35:59,860 --> 03:36:02,900
Like, could I watch my children grow old and die?

2672
03:36:04,020 --> 03:36:09,860
Absolutely not. I'd rather be dead. And so, and so, okay, right.

2673
03:36:09,860 --> 03:36:13,140
So let's say I could afford my wife and kids.

2674
03:36:13,140 --> 03:36:16,340
Would I be willing to watch my grandchildren grow old and die?

2675
03:36:16,340 --> 03:36:20,100
Because once the family gets bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger,

2676
03:36:20,100 --> 03:36:26,820
the resources required to continue to invest in these anti-aging treatments grows exponentially

2677
03:36:26,820 --> 03:36:30,900
until at some point, you know, you run out.

2678
03:36:30,900 --> 03:36:34,100
If you just worked a little harder 270 years ago,

2679
03:36:35,860 --> 03:36:39,700
your investments would be stronger now. And now you could keep the third generation alive.

2680
03:36:39,700 --> 03:36:46,100
Yeah, or something. Like, I don't know, right? So the question for me is less one of, like, would I want to stay alive?

2681
03:36:46,100 --> 03:36:51,540
And it's more a question of, would I want to continue to be alive in a world that

2682
03:36:51,540 --> 03:36:55,060
doesn't contain all the people that I grew old with?

2683
03:36:55,060 --> 03:36:58,500
Because I mean, looking at some of the aging members of my family,

2684
03:36:59,140 --> 03:37:04,820
you know, a big part of what makes them lose the motivation to live is watching everyone

2685
03:37:04,820 --> 03:37:08,500
that they ever formed a deep connection with leave them.

2686
03:37:08,500 --> 03:37:12,500
It also gets a lot harder to form deep connections with people. Well, that's the problem, isn't it?

2687
03:37:15,300 --> 03:37:20,100
I think a lot of it is the permanence. When you're a kid, when you make a friend.

2688
03:37:20,100 --> 03:37:24,180
A friend. It feels like you now have this friend.

2689
03:37:24,180 --> 03:37:27,460
Oh, my daughters come home from a lesson and they made a friend and I'll be like,

2690
03:37:27,460 --> 03:37:28,900
what's your friend's name? They're like, I don't know.

2691
03:37:31,060 --> 03:37:35,380
But like, this person is awesome and I want to, and now like.

2692
03:37:35,380 --> 03:37:40,260
It's all fluid. Now it's like, okay, I meet someone, but it's like, oh man,

2693
03:37:40,340 --> 03:37:44,900
am I going to know this person in six months? Is it worth investing time and effort into this?

2694
03:37:44,900 --> 03:37:49,060
Are they into it? I'm like, what do we actually have in common?

2695
03:37:49,060 --> 03:37:53,620
Because now that you're out of school, a lot of people's motivations are like financial or connection based

2696
03:37:53,620 --> 03:37:57,620
instead of just wanting to be friends. Especially for people like us.

2697
03:37:58,580 --> 03:38:04,820
I am. I'm very untrusting. I am deeply suspicious of people who want to cozy up to me.

2698
03:38:04,820 --> 03:38:09,220
Yeah, me too. That's dating in your 30s and 40s.

2699
03:38:09,220 --> 03:38:15,460
Yeah, I'm sure. I have heard that, you know, dating is good or whatever when you're in your 20s

2700
03:38:15,460 --> 03:38:20,820
and then a lot of people get hitched and it gets really bad. And then a lot of divorces happen and it gets better.

2701
03:38:23,300 --> 03:38:27,300
Everybody's been telling me it's getting better since I was a child. I'm waiting.

2702
03:38:27,300 --> 03:38:32,340
Oh, sorry, man. I think it gets better a little bit better than now.

2703
03:38:32,340 --> 03:38:36,980
No, you're quite right. There is that interesting low. There is that interesting low.

2704
03:38:36,980 --> 03:38:40,820
I do think that. Are you running into that yet? I feel like still not for a bit, right?

2705
03:38:40,820 --> 03:38:44,420
I can't ask him that on the show. Why? He can ask me whatever the hell he wants.

2706
03:38:44,420 --> 03:38:49,140
He can not answer it. He can decide to not answer it. It's a very inappropriate question from a boss.

2707
03:38:49,140 --> 03:38:52,340
Yes, it really is. What about from a friend?

2708
03:38:55,860 --> 03:38:57,300
Let me just buddy buddy up to you.

2709
03:38:59,380 --> 03:39:09,620
It's after 5.30. We're not at work anymore. Dude, I think the difficulty of dating in your late 30s, early 40s like significantly contributed

2710
03:39:09,620 --> 03:39:12,580
to my sister's decision to take her own life, honestly.

2711
03:39:15,860 --> 03:39:19,060
It's dark. She had a goal. Humans want companionship. Well, yeah.

2712
03:39:22,100 --> 03:39:27,940
She wanted a life partner and it never happened.

2713
03:39:27,940 --> 03:39:32,260
And I think that it was obviously it's a combination of factors.

2714
03:39:32,260 --> 03:39:38,180
So I'm not going to pin it entirely on that, but I do think that realizing that that was

2715
03:39:38,180 --> 03:39:45,940
never going to happen was a big part of just sort of looking into the future going.

2716
03:39:47,940 --> 03:39:59,300
What is there for me? What is there? And I think that lots of other people who didn't have those aspirations or found other

2717
03:39:59,300 --> 03:40:04,420
ways to get fulfillment would not behave the same way.

2718
03:40:04,420 --> 03:40:05,620
And I would certainly hope not.

2719
03:40:07,700 --> 03:40:11,460
But I think that was a significant factor.

2720
03:40:12,900 --> 03:40:21,140
That makes sense. It's tough, but I mean, again, when you get to this point where it's hard to make friends,

2721
03:40:21,140 --> 03:40:23,860
I feel like- The connections even. Yeah, 100%.

2722
03:40:24,500 --> 03:40:30,660
I feel like the ones that you do have either fall off or tend to become stronger,

2723
03:40:30,660 --> 03:40:32,740
and that also applies to your partner.

2724
03:40:34,020 --> 03:40:39,380
I understand I've been with Emma now for a long time, but I don't think that's just it.

2725
03:40:39,380 --> 03:40:43,540
I actually had some surprisingly long relationships when I was younger as well.

2726
03:40:46,500 --> 03:41:00,260
But I think in a lot of ways, ideally in an ideal situation, you end up having fewer naturally,

2727
03:41:00,260 --> 03:41:05,700
but the ones that you do have get stronger. And I think that's like a fairly normal part of life.

2728
03:41:05,700 --> 03:41:10,020
So you want that person to be there. And then I think losing them hits way harder.

2729
03:41:10,020 --> 03:41:10,500
Oh, yeah.

2730
03:41:13,060 --> 03:41:17,140
On so many levels too, because part of you is thinking about how you

2731
03:41:21,220 --> 03:41:25,460
you can't recreate that. Dark24 says, get a dog.

2732
03:41:25,460 --> 03:41:29,060
Now I have to live another 12 to 14 years just to take care of this permanent toddler.

2733
03:41:30,020 --> 03:41:36,980
Nice. There are helpful bits to that. I actually kind of twisted my aunt's ARM into getting a cat.

2734
03:41:37,700 --> 03:41:42,020
Which it's a little complicated.

2735
03:41:42,020 --> 03:41:49,940
So Dash, our oldest cat, has been extremely aggressive with especially one of the new

2736
03:41:49,940 --> 03:41:52,500
cats and she's been unhappy.

2737
03:41:53,220 --> 03:41:59,620
So ultimately the decision was made to have my aunt just take her for a couple of weeks to

2738
03:41:59,620 --> 03:42:02,740
give the other cats a bit of a break from the crinky old lady.

2739
03:42:03,300 --> 03:42:08,020
And I've been trying to convince my aunt to get a cat for a long time,

2740
03:42:08,020 --> 03:42:11,380
because she's always had animals, lovebirds for her thing.

2741
03:42:12,100 --> 03:42:15,540
And then she had a rabbit before that, but she's never had a cat.

2742
03:42:15,540 --> 03:42:20,260
And she's the kind of person that I feel like just never discovered she was a cat lady.

2743
03:42:20,260 --> 03:42:23,380
I was going to say it really does fit. Oh, yeah.

2744
03:42:23,380 --> 03:42:26,740
Anyway, so. I don't mean that in a negative way. No, no, no, she's amazing.

2745
03:42:26,740 --> 03:42:31,940
She's amazing. So she held on to her for a couple of weeks and then we took her back and then we went on

2746
03:42:31,940 --> 03:42:37,380
vacation and we were like, okay, can you take her again?

2747
03:42:37,380 --> 03:42:43,540
And so she took her again. And then all of a sudden she was going on vacation and we were supposed to take Dash back.

2748
03:42:44,260 --> 03:42:49,300
And instead we found out my aunt had actually arranged for my grandmother,

2749
03:42:49,300 --> 03:42:53,940
or my step-grandmother, to take her for the couple of weeks.

2750
03:42:53,940 --> 03:42:57,140
We were actually kind of like, oh, okay, it would have been,

2751
03:42:57,140 --> 03:42:59,700
we actually kind of wanted her back for a bit because we miss her.

2752
03:43:00,500 --> 03:43:04,980
But this was sort of what we kind of hoped might happen.

2753
03:43:04,980 --> 03:43:11,940
So I guess that's fine. And then so now she's actually like, we're like, hey, we're open to taking her back whenever.

2754
03:43:11,940 --> 03:43:12,820
And she's like, no, we're good.

2755
03:43:15,380 --> 03:43:21,940
And we can go see her anytime. And she is literally in probably a better home than she has with us because she gets

2756
03:43:21,940 --> 03:43:25,860
so much attention and she wants to be an only cat.

2757
03:43:26,980 --> 03:43:29,620
But where was I going with this? Oh, right, right, right.

2758
03:43:30,340 --> 03:43:35,140
I think animal companionship is extremely healthy for people.

2759
03:43:37,620 --> 03:43:45,060
The loss can be really difficult. Like I have another relative that after having a dog for like 16, 17 years,

2760
03:43:45,060 --> 03:43:51,460
that dog lived forever. They basically were just like, I am not open to having my heart broken like this again.

2761
03:43:51,460 --> 03:44:01,540
I will never get another dog, period. Someone else had a comment that I had wanted to reply to.

2762
03:44:01,540 --> 03:44:04,580
Oh yeah, Gremlin Injector says, I blame the downfall.

2763
03:44:04,580 --> 03:44:11,940
I blame the downfall of eHarmony. They had an amazing system back in 2010, but obliterated it after Match Group bought them.

2764
03:44:11,940 --> 03:44:16,180
It was like 300 questions that told a third of the applicants that they were not dating

2765
03:44:16,180 --> 03:44:20,420
material and kicked them off. For real, that was the only app I used.

2766
03:44:20,420 --> 03:44:22,820
Met my wife on eHarmony when it was amazing in 2011.

2767
03:44:23,540 --> 03:44:31,540
Interesting. Yeah, I didn't know that. Man, why is it like, why do companies that acquire or like venture capital groups that

2768
03:44:31,540 --> 03:44:37,860
acquire companies feel the need to wreck them? It's like the thing that made you want to buy it is still there.

2769
03:44:37,860 --> 03:44:40,980
You could just not break it. Just an idea.

2770
03:44:40,980 --> 03:44:45,780
I think I was on the verge, I was reading an article about someone who

2771
03:44:45,780 --> 03:44:49,220
did a really, wrote a really good book about just sort of the

2772
03:44:49,300 --> 03:44:53,860
enshrification of everything and how venture capital is basically just ruining

2773
03:44:53,860 --> 03:44:57,940
absolutely everything. We're just watching it happen in real time.

2774
03:44:57,940 --> 03:45:02,260
Everything from the medical industry to like the veterinary practices that I've talked about

2775
03:45:02,260 --> 03:45:05,380
before that's happening locally. Yeah, I mean, they're all rough.

2776
03:45:05,380 --> 03:45:14,580
Everything's rough. It's all rough. They really, I think it's just as important.

2777
03:45:14,660 --> 03:45:19,700
I think it's just as important as them figuring out legislation for AI stuff,

2778
03:45:20,500 --> 03:45:27,220
is they need to solve this. They need to get venture capital investment out of residential.

2779
03:45:27,220 --> 03:45:30,340
That's something is horrifically wrong with that laptop.

2780
03:45:31,540 --> 03:45:38,180
They need to get out of residential. They need to put caps on certain things like just completely taking over,

2781
03:45:38,180 --> 03:45:39,540
effectively creating monopolies.

2782
03:45:41,380 --> 03:45:46,180
You have all these competing companies or whatever, but they're all owned by like a handful of them.

2783
03:45:46,180 --> 03:45:49,300
Yeah, like there are laws against this.

2784
03:45:49,300 --> 03:45:53,540
Stop, like do something about it. It's literally ruining the world.

2785
03:45:54,740 --> 03:45:56,660
All right, Dan, give us some good news.

2786
03:45:58,100 --> 03:46:02,660
Hello, DLL, long time alcoholic, first time public urinator.

2787
03:46:02,660 --> 03:46:06,660
The show writes itself. Linus, do you ever miss your folding phone?

2788
03:46:06,660 --> 03:46:09,300
I got to fold six from work earlier this year.

2789
03:46:10,020 --> 03:46:13,780
I have been loving it, especially for multitasking.

2790
03:46:14,260 --> 03:46:17,460
I do miss it sometimes. I've been really unhappy with the Pixel 9a.

2791
03:46:19,860 --> 03:46:22,900
I think a bug I didn't talk about last time I complained about it was

2792
03:46:24,260 --> 03:46:25,700
the proximity sensor.

2793
03:46:28,100 --> 03:46:31,380
It works great when I'm trying to pull down my notification shade,

2794
03:46:31,380 --> 03:46:36,180
and I have to box with it to try and get it down. And then sometimes it doesn't work when I take a call

2795
03:46:36,180 --> 03:46:38,660
and my ear starts changing all of my quick settings.

2796
03:46:39,540 --> 03:46:43,620
Yeah, the battery life is so good though.

2797
03:46:43,620 --> 03:46:47,380
Like, I'm at 79% right now. That's pretty wild. I haven't plugged it in today.

2798
03:46:47,380 --> 03:46:48,660
Like, it's crazy.

2799
03:46:50,740 --> 03:46:54,100
I'm at 50, started at 90. Yeah, you're at 36.

2800
03:46:54,100 --> 03:46:58,100
Like, dude, this thing is nuts. I don't even think about charging it really.

2801
03:46:58,100 --> 03:47:01,060
Like, I'll plug it in at night out of habit, but if I forget, it doesn't matter.

2802
03:47:03,860 --> 03:47:06,660
Yeah, it's awesome. Sorry, I just saw a weird message on my phone.

2803
03:47:08,580 --> 03:47:10,340
This isn't a weird message, but this is a...

2804
03:47:14,580 --> 03:47:15,300
Weird dude.

2805
03:47:20,340 --> 03:47:27,140
Is he doing okay? Yeah, actually. Nice. Yeah, it would be great if you came to the council meeting,

2806
03:47:27,140 --> 03:47:31,060
period. I'll let you know when it will be. Oh yeah, I'm trying to get some people to.

2807
03:47:31,060 --> 03:47:34,580
Yeah. Yeah, that would be good.

2808
03:47:39,540 --> 03:47:42,420
Cool. Have you guys been on a cruise before?

2809
03:47:42,900 --> 03:47:45,940
There are Alaska ones that leave out of Vancouver.

2810
03:47:45,940 --> 03:47:49,780
My wife gets motion sick. Not a lot of Canadians are very motivated

2811
03:47:49,780 --> 03:47:54,260
to go to America right now. I wasn't going to bring that up, but okay.

2812
03:47:55,940 --> 03:47:59,700
Apparently, it seems to be somewhat mutual. Not a lot of Americans are coming to Canada right now,

2813
03:47:59,700 --> 03:48:00,580
either. Oh, okay.

2814
03:48:02,980 --> 03:48:07,780
Sounds good. How will we know when the winners are picked for the ROG upgrade contest?

2815
03:48:07,780 --> 03:48:10,260
We want to build. We'll contact. What? We'll contact you.

2816
03:48:10,820 --> 03:48:13,940
Should be pretty soon. I think Elijah was looking through them earlier this week.

2817
03:48:13,940 --> 03:48:17,780
In fact, if you haven't been contacted for an interview already, you're out.

2818
03:48:17,780 --> 03:48:21,220
I think. He thinks. I think. I don't know that for sure, though.

2819
03:48:22,900 --> 03:48:27,300
I don't have a dozen though for you. And the last one I've got for you guys,

2820
03:48:27,300 --> 03:48:30,340
quick question for Luke. Are you still planning on attending OpenSauce?

2821
03:48:30,340 --> 03:48:33,300
Abs of freaking Lulie. I will be there.

2822
03:48:36,900 --> 03:48:40,820
Is that all I got? We'll see you again next week.

2823
03:48:41,460 --> 03:48:44,660
Same bad time. Same bad channel. Bye.

2824
03:48:48,740 --> 03:48:53,060
That was fast. How was that fast? No, no, no. Dan needs some reaction after I said bye.

2825
03:48:53,060 --> 03:48:55,140
I'm going to say, I think it's almost a four hour show.

2826
03:48:58,980 --> 03:49:00,740
Any other type of connections? Yeah, I did last week.

2827
03:49:03,700 --> 03:49:06,280
Cool, guys. What's cool? Cool.

2828
03:49:06,980 --> 03:49:07,480
Great.
