WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.680
I find sickness gets, you know, better throughout the day and this one is no different.

00:00:11.440 --> 00:00:14.760
Ah, a touch screen. Hmm, why?

00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:17.280
Because the screen's just automatically grossed.

00:00:21.400 --> 00:00:26.320
Dude, this laptop, the brightness adjustment doesn't work when it's plugged in.

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.

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.

00:00:39.720 --> 00:00:42.840
That's stupid. Oh, yeah.

00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:46.640
Where should I put custom topics? Where are we doing that these days?

00:00:47.040 --> 00:00:48.360
I would just put it.

00:00:50.120 --> 00:00:53.800
Oh, there's down here. Just put it wherever you want.

00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:54.360
Who cares?

00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:02.040
Um, where are you putting it? Oh, yeah.

00:01:02.080 --> 00:01:06.880
Wait, what happened to, what happened to my, uh, that was a topic.

00:01:06.880 --> 00:01:10.120
Where is it? What was the topic?

00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:13.280
The Luke took an art class. Oh, it's at the bottom, right above sponsors.

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.

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?

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?

00:01:29.960 --> 00:01:34.320
Um, oh, that might have actually been a better headline topic.

00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:40.680
Really? Yeah. Cause we could have been like American politicians are stupid.

00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:46.680
Not specifically like any one side of the aisle. We're not calling anybody out.

00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:50.520
I think you're supposed to stand out against other titles and thumbnails

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

00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:00.320
bullet points to the art class one. What? Oh my God.

00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:05.000
Okay. Um, I can, I can make them their own thing if you want.

00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:25.880
Um, okay. Let's, are we, are we pre-streaming?

00:02:25.880 --> 00:02:30.600
Yes. Oh, this whole time? Yes. Sick. Uh, well that's lucky.

00:02:30.600 --> 00:02:34.040
Gamers. That could have gone way worse. We didn't say bad things.

00:02:34.040 --> 00:02:38.600
Yeah. Yeah. I could have admitted to all kinds of things.

00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:40.280
Yeah. Yeah.

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,

00:02:49.880 --> 00:02:54.280
no, no, no, what I was actually thinking about was just like one of the

00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:57.400
things that I was going to talk to you about on the pre-show just

00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:01.000
because it's really funny. I have no idea if it's true or not.

00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:04.520
Kind of like, you know, the whole JD Vance like f***ing a couch thing.

00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:09.880
Like it's not true. That was like, that was some peak internet.

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

00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:20.440
Elon Musk have some kind of like.

00:03:20.440 --> 00:03:24.760
Oh boy. Energy going on. One of them's got to have a function of penis.

00:03:24.760 --> 00:03:25.240
So I just,

00:03:28.600 --> 00:03:36.680
okay, I'll bite. Which one? So the rumor is that Elon got penis enlargement surgery.

00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:40.200
Yes. No, I know about that. Went poorly and doesn't work anymore.

00:03:40.200 --> 00:03:41.640
Yeah. So, you know.

00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.480
Dude. Okay. Okay.

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

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.

00:03:58.280 --> 00:03:59.160
Okay. Hear me out.

00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:10.280
Okay. You don't get to factor in your current financial situation.

00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:14.040
Okay. You have to be in a like median financial situation.

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

00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:23.080
per year. That's median household. I believe so. 75.

00:04:23.080 --> 00:04:24.440
Let me check. Let me check. Let me check. Let me check.

00:04:28.440 --> 00:04:31.960
Median household income, 90,000 sorry. Okay. Before taxes.

00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:36.920
Yeah. Okay. So, you don't get to be you.

00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:40.440
You're a median household. Okay. Okay.

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?

00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:05.160
Chat is divided on this one. Wow.

00:05:09.880 --> 00:05:15.560
Oh, man.

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.

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?

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.

00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:36.440
We should ask this as a poll. Okay.

00:05:36.440 --> 00:05:39.800
Cool. But you have to answer first. You can't just look at the poll.

00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:41.160
No, that's cheating.

00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:48.360
I was just talking to him. Yes or no. Trade your finances and penis with Elon.

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.

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.

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.

00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:11.160
You know. Just closes. I guess.

00:06:20.440 --> 00:06:24.200
Oh, I pictured that way too vividly. Yeah, it's probably better not to.

00:06:27.320 --> 00:06:30.200
Oh, man. Oh, Jesus.

00:06:32.280 --> 00:06:36.520
No more camel toe. I feel like it's like money or happiness.

00:06:39.640 --> 00:06:40.120
So.

00:06:46.440 --> 00:06:48.200
I mean, you could have money and happiness.

00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:52.440
Well, actually, I don't know if it's half that he has left.

00:06:53.960 --> 00:06:56.840
Happiness. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know.

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.

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.

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.

00:07:09.400 --> 00:07:11.960
So. Yeah. Yeah.

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.

00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:29.880
And also self-driving is not going to work. Yeah, I understand.

00:07:29.880 --> 00:07:32.120
Yeah. Oh, man.

00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:38.200
This is genuinely a really tough question. Because I'm still stalling.

00:07:38.200 --> 00:07:43.240
Well, I'm mulling on the longer you go, the worse it gets.

00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:48.680
So how tormented, is this why he's insane now?

00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:53.240
I never really thought about that until literally right now. I think it's the ketamine.

00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:57.720
Yeah. But then if you couldn't come, then would you need ketamine for your hive?

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

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.

00:08:14.760 --> 00:08:17.320
Yeah. You know, just, I'm just saying. Yeah.

00:08:18.520 --> 00:08:20.840
There's a lot of people that need chicken and penises.

00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:27.160
Well, one person, there's one person. Yeah, one particular person.

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?

00:08:30.840 --> 00:08:35.000
I don't want to speculate. Hi. I know you're probably not watching this.

00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:38.200
So it's probably fine. I don't think she watches pre-show.

00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:38.520
No.

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.

00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:49.560
Perfect. Call Anna. Hmm.

00:08:49.560 --> 00:08:52.680
What's a good call? I do have her number. Yeah.

00:08:52.680 --> 00:08:55.720
All right. No, what? No, you can't do that.

00:08:55.720 --> 00:09:01.720
You have, no, you have to answer the question. You didn't ask her. Oh, man.

00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:04.760
Why is this so hard or not? What?

00:09:04.760 --> 00:09:08.600
The cash or the other thing? Yeah. Or not in this case.

00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:15.480
Is there any limits on what I can do with the money?

00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:18.680
And do I get his companies? Because it's financial situation. You get his financial situation.

00:09:18.680 --> 00:09:22.840
A lot of his money is stocks. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. You get his financial situation.

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

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.

00:09:36.920 --> 00:09:40.200
Yeah. A thing that I own is X. SpaceX?

00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:43.480
I don't even know. Do we know what percentage of SpaceX he owns?

00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:47.480
I'm not actually sure. A higher percentage than, a lot higher percentage than Tesla.

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.

00:09:55.880 --> 00:09:59.560
Yeah. Estimated 42%.

00:09:59.560 --> 00:10:05.880
Yeah. But has 79% voting control. Yeah. So SpaceX is very much the Elon show.

00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:14.520
Tesla, it's been so interesting watching the Tesla stock situation.

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.

00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:19.000
It's like, okay.

00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:29.240
I guess. Because like, I am very, very capable of enjoying a non luxurious life.

00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:33.400
But can you enjoy a celibate life? Yeah. I don't know.

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,

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?

00:10:47.800 --> 00:10:54.600
Hmm. But be mind numbingly frustrated for the whole rest of my life.

00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:59.960
Well, I think they have like apparatuses that you can use to like,

00:11:01.640 --> 00:11:07.640
you know, stimulate even if it doesn't like work too good for like relations.

00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:12.120
Oh, yeah. Yeah. I don't think you have to be like completely.

00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:15.240
Yeah. But not for me. Yeah.

00:11:15.400 --> 00:11:19.960
So, I think I would do it.

00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:22.360
You would do it. Really? I think so.

00:11:24.280 --> 00:11:26.520
90k a year. I mean, that's not that bad, right?

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.

00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:37.480
No. Like you have to pay your mortgage forever. Yeah. Basically, especially living here.

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.

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,

00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:53.480
which is normal life for basically everyone.

00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:57.080
So, that's fine. Like that's not even really a problem.

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

00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:06.840
than that household median income, assuming two earners. Yeah.

00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:09.560
Oh, yeah. Just big time. Just pointing that out.

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.

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?

00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:30.440
Get rid of S. Would that ever really satisfy you though?

00:12:32.040 --> 00:12:34.920
Get rid of everything except for SpaceX. Keep doing SpaceX.

00:12:36.520 --> 00:12:39.880
But try to use SpaceX in a slightly different way,

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.

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.

00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:54.040
That's true. It's a rumor. Yeah. I mean, it's a funny rumor.

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.

00:12:58.280 --> 00:13:01.320
You're in a locked room with no cell communication.

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?

00:13:13.560 --> 00:13:16.760
Because you're also making a decision for her in that case.

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.

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.

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?

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.

00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:34.680
Yeah. I figured. Yeah.

00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:41.080
Sorry. So you're making that decision for both of you now? Yes.

00:13:41.880 --> 00:13:45.400
There are other ways. That's true. That's true.

00:13:45.400 --> 00:13:48.600
Plenty of them actually. Actually, that's that's true. Okay. Okay.

00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:51.000
All right. Fair enough. Fair enough. Okay.

00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:57.480
So would you be willing to make that decision without checking

00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:01.960
if you had to for the billions and billions and billions of dollars?

00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:05.000
Like literally remember that whole thing back and forth with him

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,

00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:12.840
so do it then. And then you just didn't and never acknowledged it again.

00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:16.280
I think I also don't think you could. I was able. Yeah.

00:14:16.280 --> 00:14:20.680
I mean, that was obviously stupid. Ending world hunger is complicated because it's corruption,

00:14:20.680 --> 00:14:24.120
not a lack of food. Yes. Big time.

00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:30.840
So here's a question. What could you actually do with those billions of dollars?

00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:34.040
That's what I've been hanging up on so hard. Because I honestly don't.

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.

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,

00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:50.120
I'm not limited at this point by like money.

00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:52.440
And I have way less money than Elon.

00:14:53.160 --> 00:14:57.320
I just want to say. I'm limited by like what I can actually directly manage.

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.

00:15:02.040 --> 00:15:06.440
I haven't been there in many years. That place is so expensive.

00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:09.240
Oh yeah. Holy crap. It's crazy.

00:15:10.760 --> 00:15:13.640
Yeah. I don't know. I'm trying to assassins a lot of them.

00:15:15.640 --> 00:15:18.040
I can't go. Hey, Luigi.

00:15:19.400 --> 00:15:22.760
How you doing? Dude, get Luigi out of jail. Oh, okay.

00:15:22.760 --> 00:15:23.400
Step one.

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?

00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:40.120
That might be better. Yeah, we could have another transcode failure.

00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:44.840
Yeah. I think I'm so sorry. I think the transcode failure might be prudent.

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?

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.

00:15:57.160 --> 00:16:01.400
So cool. Yeah, I don't know.

00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:05.880
There's easy stuff, but it's not impactful enough to make this worth it.

00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:10.200
Actually changing the world is super hard. Really tough.

00:16:10.760 --> 00:16:14.040
You could work on extensive desalination plants.

00:16:14.040 --> 00:16:18.280
You could forcibly get us to start doing nuclear.

00:16:18.280 --> 00:16:22.920
You could yell at the Europeans and get them to stop being dumb about nuclear.

00:16:22.920 --> 00:16:25.800
Yeah, but you can yell at them, but that doesn't mean they'll listen.

00:16:28.760 --> 00:16:32.120
Yeah. I think there's a decent amount of countries

00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:35.240
where energy companies are private, so you might just be able to do it yourself anyways.

00:16:36.280 --> 00:16:39.080
There's still regulation on it, though.

00:16:39.880 --> 00:16:42.920
Maybe you can just buy all the politicians.

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.

00:16:48.280 --> 00:16:53.160
It's not the money. It's the like, do you have the time and energy

00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:58.440
to change the world with no penis? I feel like with no penis, yes.

00:16:59.560 --> 00:17:07.560
With penis, maybe not. You know, maybe I need both.

00:17:07.560 --> 00:17:12.200
Okay, so you're advocating for unix, essentially,

00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:14.040
so that the world can be a better place.

00:17:18.840 --> 00:17:21.240
Matt, imagine. How are you guys calling this a base take?

00:17:26.520 --> 00:17:27.640
Not that, unix.

00:17:31.080 --> 00:17:35.240
I think it's really funny that there's probably

00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:39.240
a significant portion of chat that doesn't know what you're even talking about,

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.

00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:52.600
Will to live, post-removal. That's, this is my whole problem.

00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:54.120
I don't know if I make it.

00:17:57.080 --> 00:17:59.560
All right, we should probably get the show started. Yeah.

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.

00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:07.640
It's not worth that much. It might save the world, though.

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.

00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:19.160
Sorry, I asked. What's your answer?

00:18:22.840 --> 00:18:27.400
Did we poll chat? Trying to think. I, oh, I didn't see it.

00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:33.800
Dude, I don't think I could do it.

00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:40.040
I think it's, yeah, I think, yeah. What if you could make Neuralink,

00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:44.360
make it so that you could feel all of the effects?

00:18:44.360 --> 00:18:46.920
47% said yes, 53% said no.

00:18:47.560 --> 00:18:50.280
Yeah, I don't think I could do it. 400 votes.

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

00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:58.920
of what I could actually do to make positive impact.

00:18:58.920 --> 00:19:01.000
Because if you self-sacrifice and then just sit there and go,

00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:07.240
yeah, like, what's the point? Yeah. So there would need to be a plan.

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.

00:19:13.560 --> 00:19:17.880
I would need a plan. You could buy Chrome and turn it into Firefox.

00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:21.080
See, that's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about.

00:19:21.800 --> 00:19:25.960
That's a plan. All right, let's fix the world.

00:19:26.840 --> 00:19:36.840
I am resuming the selected.

00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:44.520
Oh, what's up, everyone? And welcome to the WAN Show.

00:19:44.520 --> 00:19:48.680
We got a great show lined up for you guys this week, Microsoft.

00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:54.760
It has been found that Windows might not be great

00:19:54.760 --> 00:19:58.840
for handheld gaming, also some other stuff going on with them.

00:19:58.840 --> 00:19:59.640
Here's another one.

00:20:02.760 --> 00:20:05.960
In Texas, there's an age verification law

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.

00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:16.680
Wow, super cool idea in theory. How's this going to work in practice?

00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:18.760
We have no idea. What else we got this week?

00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:22.920
Uh, tariffs, because why not?

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.

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.

00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:40.040
China. I never heard of it. Oh. Oh, you mean China?

00:20:40.040 --> 00:20:40.600
China.

00:20:49.320 --> 00:21:04.360
The show is brought to you today by C-Sonic Proton.

00:21:05.560 --> 00:21:09.400
Is that Enable or Enable? I'm pretty sure it's Enable.

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,

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.

00:21:23.080 --> 00:21:28.040
Microsoft has just been stepping in doo-doo on the Windows side of things,

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.

00:21:35.320 --> 00:21:37.400
Which they've just kept. Windows.

00:21:38.360 --> 00:21:42.200
We've got a video coming soon comparing original Recall and new Recall,

00:21:42.200 --> 00:21:46.280
and it is better, but is still deeply.

00:21:46.280 --> 00:21:49.720
It's still Recall. Deeply problematic. Nice.

00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:53.800
Windows has just felt like such a bloated mess lately, dude.

00:21:53.800 --> 00:21:57.640
I had to go through the initial setup wizard recently, and it's just like,

00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:03.240
can I just use my computer?

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.

00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:12.680
I mean, all of it, just move. Windows device setup is horrible.

00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:15.880
Get out of the way. It's actually terrible. None of this matters.

00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:21.400
I remember like, I don't know, late 2000s, new device setup.

00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:26.520
Honestly, MacBook or Windows was like kind of a cool experience, and now it just sucks.

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.

00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:38.120
And then meanwhile, Dave2D compared two identical Legion Go S's,

00:22:38.120 --> 00:22:41.160
one with Windows 11 and the other with SteamOS.

00:22:41.800 --> 00:22:49.560
The SteamOS version outperformed its Windows counterpart by, I gotta say, a shocking amount.

00:22:49.560 --> 00:22:57.960
Like, I remember, remember not that long ago when Windows consistently was faster than Linux

00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:01.160
for gaming? Yeah, yeah. That is no longer the case.

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

00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:07.560
want the exact numbers, because it's Dave2D's numbers.

00:23:08.520 --> 00:23:13.880
But out of Cyberpunk, HellDivers 2, Doom Eternal, Spider-Man 2, and Witcher 3,

00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:20.840
only one of them was a win for Windows 11 compared to SteamOS and just barely.

00:23:20.840 --> 00:23:27.000
Like, I am talking by like, run-to-run variants, one frame per second difference.

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.

00:23:32.600 --> 00:23:37.560
Like, that is mind-blowing. That's how far Linux drivers have come.

00:23:37.560 --> 00:23:42.040
And that's how much less overhead SteamOS offers compared to Windows.

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.

00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:51.240
So it's over $100 cheaper at retail according to his video.

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

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,

00:24:07.080 --> 00:24:11.960
6500XT GPU, and a 256GB NVMe SSD.

00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:16.840
SteamOS once again won, this time in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Blacksmith Wukong,

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,

00:24:25.800 --> 00:24:28.440
it's really an issue anyway.

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

00:24:37.560 --> 00:24:43.400
to focus on optimizing the Windows 11 gaming experience, especially for mobile devices.

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.

00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:55.240
This is, I don't know, good news?

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

00:25:00.280 --> 00:25:05.240
is incapable of building a streamlined, low overhead operating system for gaming.

00:25:06.600 --> 00:25:08.760
Literally, that's what runs on the Xbox.

00:25:10.760 --> 00:25:17.800
But whether Windows has just gotten too bloated, or whether they've been unfocused,

00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:23.480
or whether their partners are not delivering on the driver quality that they need,

00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:31.800
and their, yeah, probably not that as much, it's clear that Windows gaming has got,

00:25:31.800 --> 00:25:34.920
like, they just, they can't figure it out, can they?

00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:38.520
Yeah, my lack of enthusiasm for this, I think, is based around, like,

00:25:38.520 --> 00:25:42.120
practically every time that they've tried to touch it, they've just either done nothing,

00:25:42.120 --> 00:25:45.800
or made it worse, as far as my understanding goes. They've done some cool stuff.

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-

00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:55.320
Dude, okay, when's the launch date of Vista, bro?

00:25:57.640 --> 00:25:59.240
I'm just saying, I'm just saying.

00:26:01.000 --> 00:26:03.400
January 30th, 2007!

00:26:04.040 --> 00:26:07.240
Okay, in Vista- It's been almost 20 years.

00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:13.640
In Vista, there was a My Games folder that consolidated the location of all your game,

00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:17.240
like, config files, and save files and everything. I remember that.

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.

00:26:22.360 --> 00:26:27.080
And it was super useful, because when you reformatted or whatever,

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

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.

00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:42.760
But yeah, Microsoft just can't- I mean, games for Windows Live seemed well-intentioned.

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.

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?

00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:57.560
I mean, mostly. Yeah, the ways that it was bad back then are gone,

00:26:57.560 --> 00:27:01.560
but they still have their, like, Microsoft login, which is horrible.

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.

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,

00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:15.480
but because we would often go months between playing it,

00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:19.240
my kids and I, like, played Minecraft Dungeons for a bit. It's a Diablo clone.

00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:21.880
It's Minecraft skinned anyway. It's kind of fun.

00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:24.760
So we'd go sometimes months between playing.

00:27:25.480 --> 00:27:28.360
So I would have to log in four accounts.

00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:33.400
And for some reason, mine was bugged so that if, and of course,

00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:37.000
your password manager doesn't work properly with, like, a pop-up inside a game.

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,

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,

00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:52.360
something to do with my account, whether it's because it's, like, an LMG account,

00:27:52.360 --> 00:27:55.800
or whether it's because it's, like, a parent account or something.

00:27:55.800 --> 00:27:59.720
I don't know. But if I typo my password, that's it.

00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:03.720
I have to reset my password. There's no, like, go back and try again.

00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:07.800
Nothing. It immediately goes, you need to reset your password.

00:28:07.800 --> 00:28:11.480
Yeah. If I enter it wrong one time.

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.

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.

00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:26.680
Because I don't mind changing my passwords once in a while.

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,

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,

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.

00:28:43.800 --> 00:28:45.240
Ah, I hate password managers.

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.

00:28:55.480 --> 00:28:58.840
Dude, the fact that the fact that it takes like 10 minutes

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.

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,

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,

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.

00:29:22.360 --> 00:29:26.120
I am very lucky that they had a great time with the game single player

00:29:27.160 --> 00:29:30.680
because playing with a multiplayer just didn't work.

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.

00:29:36.120 --> 00:29:39.800
So they'll either find it themselves or whatever, I guess.

00:29:39.800 --> 00:29:44.120
And it was purely because of like Microsoft's junk,

00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:45.560
matchmaking and login stuff.

00:29:47.320 --> 00:29:51.000
You try to play Halo. You launch on a steamer, everything's fine.

00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:54.920
Everything's fine. Everything's fine. You're just like, plump, login. Well, cool.

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.

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.

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.

00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:09.960
So get it right, Microsoft. How does that part not work?

00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:16.280
I don't know. To be clear, I'm rooting for Microsoft to fix this.

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

00:30:23.640 --> 00:30:27.080
any more than I want a Windows monopoly in gaming.

00:30:27.080 --> 00:30:32.920
That's not healthy either. I want this fixed, especially because there's always

00:30:32.920 --> 00:30:37.880
going to be edge cases that, you know, proton compatibility layer can't fix.

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.

00:30:42.840 --> 00:30:47.640
I just, I'm starting to lose hope. And this is interesting.

00:30:48.600 --> 00:30:51.720
The battery life testing was fascinating.

00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:54.840
Dave's video is called, Windows was the problem all along.

00:30:55.480 --> 00:31:01.400
And the full load tests are not that interesting.

00:31:02.600 --> 00:31:07.800
You know, the battery life, when you're really running everything full tilt, relatively similar.

00:31:07.800 --> 00:31:12.760
I mean, not the same, you know. Not the same at all, but relatively,

00:31:12.760 --> 00:31:15.720
at least within the same sort of. Windows still loses. Area.

00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:22.600
But when you're running like lower, less demanding,

00:31:22.600 --> 00:31:24.600
like like side scroller type games,

00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:31.960
SteamOS absolutely steam rolls Windows.

00:31:31.960 --> 00:31:35.560
Like to a degree that I wouldn't have thought was possible.

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.

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.

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.

00:31:53.080 --> 00:31:57.560
Like, come on. Windows battery life is so bad.

00:31:57.560 --> 00:32:02.200
Like you could, you could run that game on a watch easily these days.

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.

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.

00:32:14.600 --> 00:32:16.680
I'm I finally picked up Psychonauts 2.

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.

00:32:22.520 --> 00:32:29.560
So, man, what's what's Schaefer's company called again?

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.

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.

00:32:41.080 --> 00:32:44.520
And my laptop was running at great.

00:32:44.520 --> 00:32:49.160
This thing has I think like a 4070 or something like that in it.

00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:53.800
Like pretty powerful GPU, you know, considering the thinness and the flexible form factor.

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.

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

00:33:04.680 --> 00:33:09.160
and my laptop and a controller, I was like, I have to bring my laptop anyway.

00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:13.960
So why don't I just game on my laptop? Yeah, yeah, why bother?

00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:19.160
They both support my external GPU thing with the 4080 or 4090 or whatever in it,

00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:23.320
the XG mobile. So why wouldn't I just bring my laptop?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

00:34:01.320 --> 00:34:06.760
And somehow the game, okay, I don't know how this happened.

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

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

00:34:23.160 --> 00:34:26.680
and I accidentally selected Chinese for the language of the game,

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.

00:34:31.640 --> 00:34:37.880
Psychonauts 2 buries the language configuration in the accessibility menu.

00:34:38.920 --> 00:34:43.640
Accessibility menu. Yeah, instead of just having it kind of obvious.

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.

00:34:49.560 --> 00:34:53.000
And because my phone wasn't actually connected to the Internet,

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.

00:34:58.280 --> 00:35:01.880
Because they figured out, they figured out my trick.

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.

00:35:09.160 --> 00:35:15.480
Windows is actually super cool. Supports mobile hotspotting from Wi-Fi to Wi-Fi.

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

00:35:24.040 --> 00:35:28.280
Wi-Fi or being on 5G and tethering over Wi-Fi or whatever.

00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:32.520
But Windows supports sharing a Wi-Fi connection.

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,

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

00:35:45.720 --> 00:35:48.920
been on recently that makes Windows think you're not connected.

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.

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,

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

00:36:08.040 --> 00:36:11.640
the blocks that they had on my expensive flight pass Wi-Fi.

00:36:11.640 --> 00:36:14.360
If anyone knows how to fix that, I'd be super open to it.

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.

00:36:21.160 --> 00:36:24.440
Oh yeah, Top Gear says, change the config file in Psyconauts. It doesn't work.

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,

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.

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

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.

00:36:45.560 --> 00:36:49.480
So anyway, I eventually managed to change it.

00:36:49.480 --> 00:36:52.600
And I was gaming and then the lights on the plane went out

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.

00:36:56.680 --> 00:37:01.320
And for some reason, whether it's because I'm using a third party application,

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,

00:37:05.880 --> 00:37:10.920
but it's super cool. Basically, it takes all of the nightmare of Armory Crate

00:37:10.920 --> 00:37:16.120
and boils it down to this tiny little interface here.

00:37:17.720 --> 00:37:20.280
Let me see if I can find it. Is this it? Nope.

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.

00:37:25.560 --> 00:37:31.560
Uh, no, right now. Takes all of Armory Crate and makes it this, which is awesome.

00:37:31.560 --> 00:37:34.760
And like Armory Crate with the XG Mobile, the external GPU,

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

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.

00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:50.200
That remember when you tripped on it and it unplugged the mobile GPU?

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.

00:37:55.640 --> 00:37:59.000
So it really matters. So anyway, this lets you just override it.

00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:04.360
It just has a button and you'd be like XG Mobile and it always works.

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.

00:38:10.520 --> 00:38:15.720
So in the dark of the plane, I have like the power of the sun

00:38:16.440 --> 00:38:22.280
beaming into my eyes. And then if I wanted to try to game on battery, dude,

00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:26.280
I'd have, I'd have gotten less than an hour for sure.

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,

00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:33.880
okay, maybe more than an hour, but like this is like a 10 hour flight.

00:38:33.960 --> 00:38:37.080
So I was like, well, I have nothing but bad options.

00:38:37.080 --> 00:38:39.080
I wish I just brought my stupid handheld.

00:38:41.000 --> 00:38:43.080
I forget what we were supposed to be talking about.

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.

00:38:48.600 --> 00:38:53.480
Good job Linus. I will also bundle in that complaining about Windows

00:38:53.480 --> 00:38:57.480
means kind of complaining about the state of Windows laptops

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,

00:39:06.040 --> 00:39:08.440
the screen locking problem that I had with my laptop.

00:39:10.600 --> 00:39:14.920
Someone on the subreddit said it might be to do with your attention.

00:39:14.920 --> 00:39:18.600
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, this. I haven't had a chance to actually do this

00:39:18.600 --> 00:39:26.040
because this was uploaded like I was in the air by the time this was posted.

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.

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.

00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:41.880
But here's my problem. Yeah. I just think it basically doesn't work at all.

00:39:43.080 --> 00:39:46.360
That's my current stance on it because it can be daytime

00:39:47.080 --> 00:39:50.120
and I'm staring right at it and it will just lock.

00:39:50.680 --> 00:39:54.200
It can be nighttime and I have something covering the webcam

00:39:54.200 --> 00:39:57.560
and it will work just fine for like an hour and then randomly lock.

00:39:57.560 --> 00:40:01.960
It's a fine line, dude. Because as a company like Microsoft, right,

00:40:01.960 --> 00:40:05.480
you have to give your partners room to differentiate their products.

00:40:05.480 --> 00:40:08.520
Otherwise you end up, you might as well be Apple, right?

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

00:40:14.840 --> 00:40:18.600
because they're just going to do this is so stupid.

00:40:18.600 --> 00:40:21.560
And my biggest problem with this is it doesn't tell you at all.

00:40:22.200 --> 00:40:25.480
Right. Like if, if, you know, I slept the computer woke it back up

00:40:25.480 --> 00:40:28.760
so that I could actually use it again. And then there was like a little boom.

00:40:28.760 --> 00:40:32.040
And in the corner, it was like, by the way, that was us.

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.

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.

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.

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.

00:40:51.720 --> 00:40:56.920
Especially because I ran into the hardware connects guys while I was at Computex.

00:40:56.920 --> 00:40:59.640
And one of them told me that they saw that bit on the show.

00:41:00.200 --> 00:41:05.640
They have a very similar version of a Lenovo laptop and have the exact same problem.

00:41:05.640 --> 00:41:08.760
Okay. So it's probably that then. Yes. Probably the screen lock.

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

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.

00:41:15.560 --> 00:41:19.640
I thought about returning it. Blah, blah, blah, blah. It's like, Lenovo, do you understand?

00:41:19.640 --> 00:41:22.200
Like everyone thinks you suck.

00:41:22.840 --> 00:41:28.040
And it's just a software setting. Like people think your laptops suck and are broken.

00:41:28.040 --> 00:41:31.560
And that's not even the case. Outside of that, I love that laptop.

00:41:31.560 --> 00:41:38.200
The amount of product problems that are caused seemingly by just nobody at the company actually

00:41:38.200 --> 00:41:42.520
using the product is mind blowing. It has to be the case here.

00:41:42.520 --> 00:41:47.800
It's mind blowing. Or it's a problem where you have a overly informed expert.

00:41:47.800 --> 00:41:50.280
Yeah. Yeah, or that. Where they know what this is.

00:41:50.920 --> 00:41:54.280
So they just deal with it. Yvonne is doing an iPhone challenge right now.

00:41:54.280 --> 00:42:00.360
So she just switched over to iPhone and getting a WhatsApp backed up and migrated between

00:42:00.360 --> 00:42:05.160
Android and iOS is like inexcusably broken.

00:42:05.160 --> 00:42:08.680
The fact that that has, so she lost a bunch of message history.

00:42:08.680 --> 00:42:11.720
I lost a bunch of message history even though I mostly know what I'm doing.

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.

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

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

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.

00:42:31.480 --> 00:42:35.480
But the camera was like blurry and there was no alternative.

00:42:35.480 --> 00:42:39.880
You have to scan the QR code. There's no other way.

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

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.

00:42:51.240 --> 00:42:53.560
It's infuriating.

00:42:56.360 --> 00:42:59.160
Kara, don't worry about my tennis elbow.

00:43:00.040 --> 00:43:04.680
I am intentionally moving it. I'm not doing anything in weird positions.

00:43:04.680 --> 00:43:07.400
I'm okay. And this is just like a massage thing. It's fine.

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

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.

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.

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,

00:43:33.560 --> 00:43:37.080
I don't see why I would use it anymore.

00:43:37.080 --> 00:43:41.560
If I could get away from multiple games that I play only working on Windows.

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.

00:43:50.040 --> 00:43:53.640
Maybe it's time for a Windows or excuse me, a Linux challenge again.

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,

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.

00:44:00.920 --> 00:44:05.720
Like they have an installer that is now validated for non valve handhelds.

00:44:06.840 --> 00:44:11.080
And it does work on desktops as long as you've got a compatible desktop,

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?

00:44:19.240 --> 00:44:23.880
Does it, what, sorry? Does it offer anything uniquely? It offers being ready to go.

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.

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

00:44:39.240 --> 00:44:42.440
as long as you're willing to kind of configure it a little bit.

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.

00:44:46.440 --> 00:44:49.480
We use different distros last time. Yep. We totally did. Yeah.

00:44:49.480 --> 00:44:52.520
I'm just, I was trying to evaluate for myself basically,

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.

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?

00:45:00.520 --> 00:45:08.440
You should be able to. Probably. Realistically, you have more software troubleshooting capabilities than I do.

00:45:08.440 --> 00:45:14.840
So I would definitely lean toward the more set and forget ready to go Linux distro.

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,

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.

00:45:25.800 --> 00:45:29.240
Yeah. Cause like, however way, whatever way they've done it,

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

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

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.

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.

00:45:53.160 --> 00:45:56.600
I wonder if it's going to set you up for failure in other ways.

00:45:56.600 --> 00:45:59.960
Yep. Could very well be admittedly, I didn't spend a long time,

00:45:59.960 --> 00:46:05.480
but I probably burned about half an hour trying to like install printer support on SteamOS,

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.

00:46:10.120 --> 00:46:15.800
I was like, right, Linux. What's the closest Linux machine that I have?

00:46:15.800 --> 00:46:18.920
A Steam Deck. I'll just plug it into a Steam Deck. Yeah.

00:46:18.920 --> 00:46:23.640
And yeah, totally didn't work. Yeah. Someone in full plan chat said doing it on,

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.

00:46:27.960 --> 00:46:30.440
Doing it on mint for the last three months, super easy so far.

00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:35.320
Hell yeah. Mint got just way popular.

00:46:35.320 --> 00:46:41.000
Somewhat recently, because PewDiePie did his Linux switched thing,

00:46:41.560 --> 00:46:45.560
and he chose mint for whatever reason. The OG Influencer just casually influencing people.

00:46:45.560 --> 00:46:48.920
Just incredibly doing a Linux switch. The system works.

00:46:48.920 --> 00:46:52.360
I didn't see it coming, but... No, I mean, I know he's into tech,

00:46:52.360 --> 00:46:57.240
like because he's referenced us like quite a few times over the years.

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,

00:47:01.960 --> 00:47:06.120
you know, recognizable internet personalities ever.

00:47:06.120 --> 00:47:09.320
And then on the other hand, he seems to be like kind of a recluse.

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,

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.

00:47:20.840 --> 00:47:26.280
Which, you know, honestly, at this point, I kind of get it.

00:47:26.280 --> 00:47:31.400
You get it. Yeah. Yeah. I know, I know he just likes Japan a lot,

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.

00:47:35.720 --> 00:47:38.680
Well, yeah. Because I think generally speaking,

00:47:39.880 --> 00:47:43.240
they are not as obsessed with our cultural icons as we are with theirs.

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...

00:47:48.120 --> 00:47:51.720
So the opposite of a weeb? Yeah. They're into cowboys. No way.

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.

00:47:56.680 --> 00:47:59.640
This is totally a thing. What's the opposite of a weeb?

00:48:00.360 --> 00:48:06.200
The opposite of weeb, a derogatory term for someone with an extreme obsession with Japanese culture,

00:48:06.200 --> 00:48:09.720
can be understood in a few ways. Oh, wait, a japanophobe?

00:48:09.720 --> 00:48:13.400
No, that's not what we're talking about. Westabu?

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.

00:48:18.920 --> 00:48:21.400
What's... This is from r slash what's the word.

00:48:21.960 --> 00:48:23.720
What you're looking for is Westabu.

00:48:25.640 --> 00:48:29.080
There's no... There's no way it's called Westabu.

00:48:29.080 --> 00:48:31.080
It might be. No way.

00:48:33.000 --> 00:48:35.400
Howdy. My name is Raheid Kobamashi. Howdy.

00:48:36.120 --> 00:48:42.520
I'm a 27-year-old Japanese, Jap American, Western culture fan for you foreigners.

00:48:43.160 --> 00:48:46.600
I brand and wrangle cattle on my ranch. There's no way. This is not real.

00:48:46.600 --> 00:48:48.680
That has to be a copypasta. That has to be AI.

00:48:49.640 --> 00:48:53.400
Yeah. My god. Westabu sounds legit.

00:48:53.400 --> 00:48:57.080
Westabu it is. Okay. I think we should probably move on.

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.

00:49:00.920 --> 00:49:03.160
I swear it's a thing. Don't make me start doing announcements.

00:49:04.840 --> 00:49:05.640
I found a video.

00:49:08.040 --> 00:49:11.560
Cowboy Tanaka. Okay. Well, I don't want to...

00:49:12.520 --> 00:49:16.760
Here. An anti-weeb of sorts.

00:49:19.320 --> 00:49:23.160
Third cosplay is cowboys. Hell yeah, dude.

00:49:24.120 --> 00:49:29.240
I can't tell who I think less of. No one.

00:49:29.240 --> 00:49:32.040
We don't judge anybody. Yeah. Dan.

00:49:32.760 --> 00:49:37.080
Myself. How many of them are there?

00:49:37.080 --> 00:49:37.880
There's so many.

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.

00:49:49.400 --> 00:49:52.440
Oh my goodness. Is this... Oh, now they're cosplaying getting shot. Oh, wow.

00:49:52.440 --> 00:49:55.160
Yo, that guy totally sold it. This is kind of cool.

00:49:56.600 --> 00:50:00.600
I mean... It's got the chaps. Okay. Oh, that guy went for it.

00:50:00.600 --> 00:50:03.640
Oh, I took it off the screen. I think that's enough of that. Yeah.

00:50:03.640 --> 00:50:07.240
Well, there was that one time where I watched... What was it? Croquet?

00:50:07.240 --> 00:50:10.280
Competitive croquet on stream? Now I'm watching Cowboy Weaves.

00:50:10.280 --> 00:50:14.440
Competitive western cosplay in Japan.

00:50:15.320 --> 00:50:18.760
Okay. Why don't we explain merch messages? Sai Bugeki.

00:50:18.760 --> 00:50:22.760
We don't really do super chats or Twitch bits. We do merch messages.

00:50:22.760 --> 00:50:26.200
They are the way to throw money at your screen for streamers,

00:50:26.200 --> 00:50:29.880
but also, hey, maybe like, I don't know, get something in return.

00:50:29.880 --> 00:50:33.640
All you got to do is go to lttstore.com, add something to your cart,

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.

00:50:38.120 --> 00:50:41.480
It'll go to producer Dan, who will reply to it or forward it

00:50:41.480 --> 00:50:46.840
or curate it for me and Luke. And there are some pretty cool things

00:50:46.840 --> 00:50:49.240
that you could add to your cart this year.

00:50:50.840 --> 00:50:54.840
Mystery items are back! Available for a limited time.

00:50:54.840 --> 00:50:58.360
Mystery t-shirts, mystery hoodies, and mystery screwdrivers

00:50:58.360 --> 00:51:01.560
are available for as little as what's that?

00:51:01.560 --> 00:51:05.960
What the heck? $17.99 Canadian for a mystery shirt.

00:51:06.680 --> 00:51:10.280
$49.99 Canadian? That's not even real money.

00:51:11.160 --> 00:51:16.200
I mean, it's real money. $59.99 Canadian for a mystery screwdriver.

00:51:16.200 --> 00:51:20.200
That's right, my friends. These are actually really low prices.

00:51:21.160 --> 00:51:23.880
You're welcome, I guess. American costs. There you go.

00:51:24.680 --> 00:51:28.040
Oh, you've got the USD. Yep. Very nice. And back to Linus's.

00:51:28.040 --> 00:51:31.640
So yeah, $50 US for mystery screwdrivers.

00:51:31.640 --> 00:51:36.360
Hold on, can we go back to... Yep. Yep. $40 US for mystery hoodies.

00:51:36.360 --> 00:51:41.960
And I believe we actually specify what the ones could be.

00:51:42.840 --> 00:51:45.800
Nope. No, we don't. Random. He takes it back.

00:51:46.440 --> 00:51:48.360
We do on the screwdriver. Sure.

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.

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,

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.

00:52:05.400 --> 00:52:08.920
So I think we try to specify. I actually don't know if that's true.

00:52:10.040 --> 00:52:13.560
One moment, please. I don't think the screwdriver one is correct,

00:52:13.560 --> 00:52:17.560
because I believe all of at least one of the screwdriver,

00:52:17.560 --> 00:52:22.120
the Noctua Colorways, is out of stock. Oh, what did... what just happened?

00:52:23.400 --> 00:52:26.440
Did Nick just hang up on me? I mean, I wouldn't blame them.

00:52:26.440 --> 00:52:30.280
Based. Feed me to it. That's not by like seconds.

00:52:31.000 --> 00:52:34.440
That is not based. You're based. Oh, thanks.

00:52:35.240 --> 00:52:36.680
Hey, you're live on The Wancho.

00:52:39.880 --> 00:52:41.080
Question for you, good sir.

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.

00:52:47.080 --> 00:52:50.520
That's perfect. Wonderful. It's loud and clear. Question for you.

00:52:51.320 --> 00:52:55.880
It says that the Mystery Screwdrivers are either Noctua Beige or Noctua Brown,

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.

00:53:00.120 --> 00:53:04.840
No, that's not for today. That's for down the line.

00:53:05.400 --> 00:53:08.520
Oh, okay. Yeah, different thing, different thing.

00:53:08.520 --> 00:53:12.600
Oh, okay. Do we actually have Noctua Beige and Noctua Brown?

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,

00:53:17.720 --> 00:53:21.960
they should probably jump on it. But yeah, we have a few left.

00:53:21.960 --> 00:53:26.200
Okay, good chat. Thanks, Nick. Wait, hold on, hold on.

00:53:26.200 --> 00:53:29.000
Do we know what? Hoodies are in the Mystery Bin?

00:53:30.280 --> 00:53:33.320
Oh, it's a bunch.

00:53:33.320 --> 00:53:37.320
I don't know. There's, again, there's not a super huge amount.

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,

00:53:42.360 --> 00:53:46.600
probably. So I can't give any more indication than that really.

00:53:46.600 --> 00:53:49.960
It's a bunch of different stuff. Good chat. Thanks, Nick.

00:53:49.960 --> 00:53:53.160
All right. Yep, bye. Bye. Okay, well, there you go, guys.

00:53:53.160 --> 00:53:56.520
We literally don't even know what it is. Cool.

00:53:56.520 --> 00:54:00.120
Sick. All we know is that the price is right.

00:54:00.120 --> 00:54:03.160
Sick. Dan, do you want to show them how merge messages work?

00:54:03.160 --> 00:54:07.640
Yeah, sure. I got a couple here. Just got a promotion to Cybersecurity Analyst.

00:54:07.640 --> 00:54:09.240
What's your best cybersecurity tip?

00:54:12.760 --> 00:54:15.880
I would not ask Linus that. But don't use the set. What?

00:54:16.840 --> 00:54:19.960
We were literally talking before the show about how.

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

00:54:27.240 --> 00:54:28.920
implements a login system.

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,

00:54:35.080 --> 00:54:39.240
you have to email them to send you an invite. But that is not very convenient.

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.

00:54:43.880 --> 00:54:48.120
Yeah, well, we aren't. Hey, man, those.

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

00:54:54.520 --> 00:54:58.920
to log into my stuff. What if we made 74 changes in two days?

00:54:59.720 --> 00:55:03.640
Oh, yeah. Here's another. Here's another cybersecurity tip.

00:55:03.640 --> 00:55:06.440
What was that email? Did you get that email that I sent you?

00:55:08.200 --> 00:55:12.520
You send me so many emails. I do not send you so many emails.

00:55:12.520 --> 00:55:16.520
Go ahead. Check your inbox. How many emails have I sent you in the last week?

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.

00:55:20.840 --> 00:55:26.440
Five. Five? That's not so many emails. I preferred being correct on the number.

00:55:26.440 --> 00:55:29.400
One email in the expression. It's more than five.

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.

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.

00:55:36.680 --> 00:55:41.800
Five emails. Working hard loop. Yeah, I have five emails to reply to.

00:55:41.800 --> 00:55:44.520
There's so many. I was working very hard. There's so many.

00:55:46.280 --> 00:55:49.480
You're going to be jet-legged, dude. I am jet-legged.

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.

00:55:53.800 --> 00:55:57.720
And you're like, I am. Well, let me have no problems.

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?

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.

00:56:04.040 --> 00:56:11.480
Okay, one, two, three, four, five.

00:56:11.480 --> 00:56:13.720
I don't send him that many emails. Oh my god, was I right?

00:56:14.520 --> 00:56:17.560
Six, darn. Okay, so we can both be right.

00:56:17.560 --> 00:56:21.720
Seven. You can be the closest without going over for how many it actually was.

00:56:21.720 --> 00:56:24.360
And I can be right that I don't send you that many emails.

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

00:56:28.840 --> 00:56:32.280
that was just all like, hey, here's things you might like.

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?

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?

00:56:39.240 --> 00:56:42.360
No, that's the other thing. It doesn't matter.

00:56:42.360 --> 00:56:44.760
We don't actually have to have a meeting about it right now.

00:56:45.640 --> 00:56:48.680
It's WAN Show. Okay, in that case, while he looks that up,

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.

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

00:57:00.440 --> 00:57:05.320
from especially other creators, even ones that I've corresponded with before.

00:57:05.320 --> 00:57:08.920
So like I have in the last six, in the last few months,

00:57:08.920 --> 00:57:12.120
I've had emails from snazzy Labs go to my spam.

00:57:14.040 --> 00:57:17.640
Oh, shoot. I'm not that popular. Not that many creators email me,

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.

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.

00:57:27.560 --> 00:57:30.120
Dan, do you want to go ahead and throw that in all the chats? Sure thing.

00:57:36.200 --> 00:57:39.400
And do you want another one? Are you like reading that email right now?

00:57:41.000 --> 00:57:41.320
Yes.

00:57:44.760 --> 00:57:49.400
So here's something I would suggest. If you're rolling out some new feature,

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,

00:57:56.760 --> 00:58:00.280
if I'm falling for phishing scams. Like that looks like the most

00:58:00.920 --> 00:58:04.280
scam nationist email that I have ever gotten,

00:58:04.280 --> 00:58:09.320
including some of the bait emails during our like phishing internal tests.

00:58:09.320 --> 00:58:10.760
Like, are you looking at this email?

00:58:14.600 --> 00:58:17.880
It's from a domain I've never seen before, or not a domain,

00:58:17.880 --> 00:58:23.080
it's from an address I've never seen before, contains hyperlinks like this long.

00:58:23.080 --> 00:58:24.760
Many of them like, okay.

00:58:28.360 --> 00:58:31.560
Yeah, that's good. This is an automated email. I don't know what it is.

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

00:58:38.920 --> 00:58:43.480
and so much good. And I feel bad for them because when you work on,

00:58:44.120 --> 00:58:48.680
okay, here's my advice. Here's my cybersecurity tip

00:58:48.680 --> 00:58:53.160
that will be very applicable to your new job. Don't take it personal

00:58:53.160 --> 00:58:56.440
when the only time anybody acknowledges you is when something goes wrong.

00:58:56.440 --> 00:59:01.720
Which is how infrastructure works. Which is how infrastructure and cybersecurity roles

00:59:01.720 --> 00:59:05.320
basically just seem to work. They say shit rolls down a hill,

00:59:05.320 --> 00:59:08.920
but that's not actually true. Shit rolls onto the infrastructure team.

00:59:08.920 --> 00:59:14.760
And it sucks. And everyone else, if you catch us at a time

00:59:14.760 --> 00:59:18.280
when we're calm, rational human beings

00:59:18.280 --> 00:59:22.520
who are not wanting to put our fists through our computers,

00:59:23.080 --> 00:59:25.960
we love you. We think you're cool.

00:59:26.840 --> 00:59:31.160
In like a kind of D&D, you should probably shave your neck beard

00:59:31.160 --> 00:59:33.560
and put on some deodorant kind of way, you know? Like we...

00:59:35.080 --> 00:59:38.200
What? Oh, I'm gonna add the... Okay. Oh.

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.

00:59:42.600 --> 00:59:46.040
No, no, no, no, no. Oh, okay. It's... I will talk about that. Oh, dude.

00:59:46.040 --> 00:59:49.240
Dude, my flight to Taiwan, the guy next to me,

00:59:49.240 --> 00:59:52.440
I swear to God, hadn't brushed his teeth in like the last six months.

00:59:53.560 --> 00:59:56.600
Okay, we're gonna talk about it now. Go for it.

00:59:56.600 --> 00:59:58.920
Finish yours off. Brush your fucking teeth.

01:00:03.560 --> 01:00:07.640
If you don't care, if your whole mouth rots out or whatever,

01:00:07.640 --> 01:00:11.000
like, you know what? Power to you. You don't need teeth.

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.

01:00:17.640 --> 01:00:23.000
Just saying. Dentures are based. But brush your fucking teeth

01:00:23.000 --> 01:00:25.640
if you're gonna be within... Like, I kid you not.

01:00:26.360 --> 01:00:30.360
Six feet. There were people... No, dude, back at NCIS,

01:00:30.360 --> 01:00:33.400
there were people I worked with that I could smell their breath

01:00:33.400 --> 01:00:37.240
from six fucking feet away. Like, it was disgusting.

01:00:37.240 --> 01:00:42.120
Yeah. Nothing smells worse than rotted ass meat between teeth

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,

01:00:46.840 --> 01:00:50.600
you brush your teeth multiple times a day. If you're gonna be a close talker,

01:00:50.600 --> 01:00:54.120
you can get all in close talking to people. It's disgusting.

01:00:54.120 --> 01:00:56.520
Okay, so my thing on this, I'll address it now.

01:00:57.160 --> 01:01:00.360
The flight back. So I'm flying back from Hong Kong.

01:01:00.360 --> 01:01:04.680
Yeah. Um, there's this dude next to me.

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.

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

01:01:12.120 --> 01:01:14.360
and you're trying to flip time zones and all this kind of stuff. Yeah.

01:01:16.520 --> 01:01:20.840
This is not the worst person I have ever smelled in any context,

01:01:20.840 --> 01:01:23.960
but it's the worst person I've been stuck next to on a plane.

01:01:23.960 --> 01:01:28.520
By an incredible amount to the point where I couldn't sleep

01:01:28.520 --> 01:01:31.720
because he smelled so bad that it was like,

01:01:31.720 --> 01:01:35.400
it like hurt. And it was his breath.

01:01:36.360 --> 01:01:40.200
So I wouldn't smell it all the time. And then he'd like,

01:01:40.200 --> 01:01:43.400
look at me or look my, I was, I was window seat.

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

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

01:01:53.080 --> 01:01:57.720
and be asleep for like a couple minutes. And then he would breathe in some way

01:01:57.720 --> 01:02:00.440
that I could smell it. And it would actively wake me up.

01:02:00.840 --> 01:02:05.000
One of my solutions at one point was I fished my deodorant out of my bag

01:02:05.000 --> 01:02:09.400
and I like scraped the top off of it and then rubbed just to,

01:02:09.400 --> 01:02:13.480
so I'm not rubbing armpit on my face, rubbed deodorant into my mustache.

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.

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.

01:02:22.120 --> 01:02:26.520
I ended up, but it was bad, but it was significantly better.

01:02:26.520 --> 01:02:31.000
Okay. Than this guy's f***ing insane like death breath.

01:02:31.000 --> 01:02:36.120
And what's up with planes not having the little fan knob anymore?

01:02:36.120 --> 01:02:39.400
I had it. It wasn't enough. I didn't have it on mine. Oh man.

01:02:39.400 --> 01:02:43.880
I had nothing, nothing. I tried, I tried the fan thing.

01:02:43.880 --> 01:02:48.600
I tried so much stuff. It was, it was, I didn't have any gum.

01:02:48.600 --> 01:02:52.360
It was, it was really bad.

01:02:52.360 --> 01:02:56.760
Like it, like I got off the plane like genuinely very angry

01:02:56.760 --> 01:02:59.400
because I had just spent 12 hours like

01:03:01.080 --> 01:03:04.040
smelling just, I literally, I can't.

01:03:04.760 --> 01:03:07.960
Okay. He wasn't old enough for this to be the case

01:03:07.960 --> 01:03:09.480
and this is going to get a little bit morbid.

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.

01:03:14.520 --> 01:03:17.320
But quite literally because I've smelled that before. Right.

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,

01:03:23.320 --> 01:03:27.960
but I was wondering like, is this like a bad because it's actually particle particles.

01:03:27.960 --> 01:03:32.200
It's bad to not sleep. Yeah. Like keeping you awake is going to make you

01:03:32.200 --> 01:03:35.720
immunocompromised, which makes you more likely to get sick, dude.

01:03:35.720 --> 01:03:39.160
I walked the plane to see if there was another seat that I could go in

01:03:39.160 --> 01:03:42.360
and I was going to offer, like if there was a economy plus seat

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,

01:03:45.400 --> 01:03:48.680
like just get me out of here. Dear God, there wasn't anything.

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.

01:03:53.720 --> 01:03:55.720
I didn't have VIXX. Go ahead, press the button.

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.

01:04:02.200 --> 01:04:05.560
So we, we took off from Taipei

01:04:05.560 --> 01:04:09.480
and I like passed out. And that was actually my plan

01:04:09.480 --> 01:04:13.800
was to sleep the first half of the flight and then stay up the second half

01:04:13.800 --> 01:04:18.120
so that I could then go to bed because your sleep on a plane

01:04:18.120 --> 01:04:21.480
is not proper sleep. So if I could sleep for five hours,

01:04:21.480 --> 01:04:26.440
stay awake for five hours, drive home, be up for four hours.

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.

01:04:29.880 --> 01:04:35.160
Like let's go. So I was, everything was going according to plan.

01:04:35.160 --> 01:04:39.400
I passed the math out before we were probably even at cruising altitude.

01:04:39.400 --> 01:04:44.040
And then I like woke up from one of the deepest sleeps

01:04:44.040 --> 01:04:45.560
that I've ever been in on a plane.

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?

01:04:55.480 --> 01:04:57.960
Like that's, that's incredible. I like, I feel.

01:04:58.920 --> 01:05:02.360
Sometimes time does seem weird on planes. Yeah. I feel refreshed.

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.

01:05:09.960 --> 01:05:14.360
Wait a second. The, that's, that's not YVR.

01:05:15.160 --> 01:05:17.640
What, what airport are we descending into?

01:05:18.520 --> 01:05:23.000
Did I get on the wrong plane? Yeah, exactly. What is, what is KIX?

01:05:23.000 --> 01:05:26.520
How is that even possible? We were descending into Osaka.

01:05:27.080 --> 01:05:30.200
Yeah. Or ITM. Is it ITM?

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.

01:05:36.280 --> 01:05:40.120
So it turned out that we had actually gone about an hour

01:05:40.120 --> 01:05:44.920
off the coast of Japan, turned around because of a medical emergency.

01:05:44.920 --> 01:05:50.600
And we were landing in Osaka at about 3.30 AM Japan time.

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.

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.

01:06:03.720 --> 01:06:06.040
Yeah. Okay. Not about that. Do you have any idea what it was?

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?

01:06:10.920 --> 01:06:14.120
Like, like just like in the movies and stuff. Yeah. So there was that.

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.

01:06:19.640 --> 01:06:22.760
Wow. And apparently there was and they like tried but they had to,

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

01:06:29.160 --> 01:06:32.520
because I missed the hey, we're landing in Osaka.

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.

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.

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,

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.

01:06:54.760 --> 01:06:58.120
We're going to be here for a few hours on the plane while,

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

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.

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

01:07:17.880 --> 01:07:21.720
ground, probably three, three and a half hours and then took off back to Vancouver.

01:07:21.720 --> 01:07:26.440
I assumed you got off the plane. No, but it could have been worse.

01:07:27.240 --> 01:07:30.680
I was chatting with someone else at one point.

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,

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.

01:07:41.320 --> 01:07:43.880
They actually came from Osaka.

01:07:45.000 --> 01:07:49.320
So they had a connecting flight through Taipei for Vancouver.

01:07:51.160 --> 01:07:57.160
So they went from Osaka to Vancouver over Osaka, back to Osaka and then onto Vancouver.

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,

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.

01:08:07.240 --> 01:08:10.360
They waited for probably, you know, an hour.

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.

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.

01:08:25.960 --> 01:08:27.720
I feel bad for them. That is pretty rough.

01:08:30.200 --> 01:08:33.500
What are we doing right now? Explaining merch message. Oh.

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?

01:08:38.680 --> 01:08:41.960
What was the question? What was the last one? Yeah, yeah, that was a good one.

01:08:41.960 --> 01:08:45.080
Okay. Yeah, they did good. Good job. Thanks.

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.

01:08:50.200 --> 01:08:53.640
Yeah, I try and find them sometimes. Quality merch message.

01:08:54.280 --> 01:08:59.720
Do that. Dear DLL, love the screwdriver and hoodie, phone pocket.

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?

01:09:05.560 --> 01:09:11.720
Oh man, picking out one out of the like 6,000 videos or whatever.

01:09:11.720 --> 01:09:13.160
Honestly, not that easy.

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.

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.

01:09:26.920 --> 01:09:30.120
There's no way anything could surprise me more than unboxing some stupid toy

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.

01:09:37.160 --> 01:09:42.120
Oh, shut up. While I was in the airport in Taiwan heading to Hong Kong,

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.

01:09:45.960 --> 01:09:48.520
And he handed me his business card and like, it's legit.

01:09:49.160 --> 01:09:51.960
I know, I know that guy. That is wild. Yeah.

01:09:52.680 --> 01:09:56.680
Okay, okay. It's a fun random contact that I have now.

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.

01:10:01.400 --> 01:10:05.480
I was getting fried chicken in the food court of the tech mall

01:10:05.480 --> 01:10:08.200
and I ran into the CEO of Trikes. Oh, yeah.

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.

01:10:12.920 --> 01:10:17.880
That was another, the day before Confutex, I went to, I like going to random restaurants

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,

01:10:24.600 --> 01:10:28.200
which I thought was a hilarious name. So I went for it and it was fantastic.

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.

01:10:34.440 --> 01:10:37.720
So I was eating at the bar and there's a guy sitting next to me

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.

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.

01:10:47.960 --> 01:10:51.720
He's like one of their lead people for making those like AI appliances.

01:10:52.360 --> 01:10:54.840
I was like, uh, okay.

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.

01:11:01.480 --> 01:11:05.000
Purely joined NVIDIA to do AI stuff. Okay.

01:11:05.000 --> 01:11:08.600
Crazy. Like hadn't even heard of line of sectives at all.

01:11:09.400 --> 01:11:12.920
Really? Yeah. Like does not care about that side of things in this latest.

01:11:14.600 --> 01:11:19.800
All right. I'm looking for videos that only got less than 600,000 views.

01:11:21.800 --> 01:11:24.120
We've, most of these are pretty expected.

01:11:25.560 --> 01:11:30.040
Me versus a pool cleaning robot. Yep. That checks out today's video.

01:11:30.040 --> 01:11:32.040
So, you know, that'll still get more views.

01:11:33.560 --> 01:11:36.120
The CSONIC coverage at Computex.

01:11:37.000 --> 01:11:43.000
That one makes sense because YouTube CMS still doesn't really account very well

01:11:43.000 --> 01:11:46.280
for multi-person managed channels.

01:11:46.280 --> 01:11:52.600
So, two people had the video metadata editing open at the same time.

01:11:53.400 --> 01:11:57.480
One of them saved their changes and put it public.

01:11:57.480 --> 01:12:00.360
And then another person had it unlisted and saved that.

01:12:00.920 --> 01:12:05.480
So, it went unlisted. And then they were like, oh no, and set it public again,

01:12:05.480 --> 01:12:08.360
but by then the momentum's completely dead. Which video was that?

01:12:09.080 --> 01:12:12.760
CSONIC's new power supply that has temperature and current sensing.

01:12:12.760 --> 01:12:15.640
The burning CPUs one? To keep it from burning GPUs. Yeah.

01:12:16.280 --> 01:12:17.800
I was wondering why that got so low views.

01:12:19.640 --> 01:12:23.240
That makes sense. Here's a sponsored thing on an OBSBOT camera.

01:12:24.600 --> 01:12:29.720
That weird, man, it's like all like showcases.

01:12:31.880 --> 01:12:35.400
Answering your questions about 5G. What is this?

01:12:37.080 --> 01:12:41.560
What the heck is this video? Can 5G be slow?

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.

01:12:47.240 --> 01:12:55.000
It was sponsored by T-Mobile, but it ended up being legitimately a pretty good video.

01:12:55.640 --> 01:12:59.080
Because we, yeah, we had a couple talking points for them,

01:12:59.080 --> 01:13:02.680
but we stayed really, really fact focused in it.

01:13:02.680 --> 01:13:07.400
And yeah, I honestly, I thought it was a good question.

01:13:07.400 --> 01:13:10.760
It's not a great thumbnail, honestly. I thought it was a good question though,

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,

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.

01:13:23.080 --> 01:13:26.440
Wait, no, it was not. It was super terrible. Okay, I wonder why.

01:13:27.160 --> 01:13:30.680
Okay, now I just really don't remember. I thought it was a good video, but...

01:13:30.680 --> 01:13:35.400
How old is this? A few years, right? Yeah, oh dude, this is years old.

01:13:35.400 --> 01:13:39.560
If I remember correctly, people were just angry at T-Mobile at the time.

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.

01:13:43.720 --> 01:13:47.240
Back then. They've had like five years ago.

01:13:47.240 --> 01:13:49.560
Why are you the ups and downs? So I'm not sure.

01:13:59.640 --> 01:14:03.720
All right, yeah. Oh, I think, yeah, I think people are just mad

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

01:14:09.960 --> 01:14:12.360
because we basically didn't even really do their talking points.

01:14:13.880 --> 01:14:19.480
Um, I mean, Jack... I was surprised that the mineral oil short

01:14:19.480 --> 01:14:22.440
that Sammy and I did at Computex did so well.

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.

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

01:14:37.320 --> 01:14:41.480
on the Acer Predator 21X... 22 million views.

01:14:41.480 --> 01:14:47.400
Yeah, and like, I know cognitively

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

01:14:52.360 --> 01:14:57.560
because it makes you like, is it over already? And like, start watching it again?

01:14:57.560 --> 01:15:01.800
You have to have more than 100% average view duration

01:15:01.800 --> 01:15:03.880
in order for a short to pop off, basically.

01:15:04.840 --> 01:15:09.480
So like, I know that, but I just found that video

01:15:09.480 --> 01:15:14.120
so lacking in information, and like, it was like,

01:15:14.680 --> 01:15:19.000
for me personally, for my millennial brain, where I want beginning, middle, end,

01:15:19.000 --> 01:15:20.920
I want closure from my stories,

01:15:23.080 --> 01:15:26.360
I just found that video so deeply unsatisfying

01:15:26.360 --> 01:15:31.160
that I just don't understand how it performed that well. And it banged, dude.

01:15:31.160 --> 01:15:34.600
I know, I know, I don't get it. I don't get it.

01:15:35.240 --> 01:15:39.000
Maybe I should just... I clearly can't connect with the young kids anymore.

01:15:39.000 --> 01:15:42.200
Maybe I should just start Twitch streaming.

01:15:42.200 --> 01:15:43.560
They don't seem to have trouble with it.

01:15:47.160 --> 01:15:48.760
Sorry, excuse me, YouTube streaming.

01:15:50.680 --> 01:15:55.160
Oh, right. What platform is he on these days? You gotta switch when you do that.

01:15:55.160 --> 01:15:57.720
I also need a mustache. All right.

01:15:58.360 --> 01:16:02.120
And a certain kind of mustache. Yeah, yeah.

01:16:02.840 --> 01:16:06.120
Okay, I'm done. I'm done. Yeah, maybe a bear costs you.

01:16:09.880 --> 01:16:14.040
What year is it? The only reason why I said it was I was like,

01:16:14.040 --> 01:16:17.720
most people are going to get this anyways. Yeah, we're going to have a flashback.

01:16:17.720 --> 01:16:20.920
Do you remember that time that we were doing it?

01:16:20.920 --> 01:16:24.360
You might have been on a Floatplane by this point.

01:16:24.360 --> 01:16:31.000
Were you ever aware of the time that I dressed in a bear costume

01:16:31.000 --> 01:16:34.760
to do a spot for Tunnel Bear? Tunnel Bear, I feel like was my time,

01:16:34.760 --> 01:16:40.280
but I don't think I remember this. Dude, they were not into it.

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,

01:16:47.560 --> 01:16:51.400
but I'm not sure. I mean, that's classic VPN, right?

01:16:51.400 --> 01:16:54.760
VPN stuff, yeah. Oh, it looks like they're still here.

01:16:54.760 --> 01:16:57.880
Yeah, they're still here. Yeah, they're still here. Yeah, they're still here.

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.

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

01:17:08.680 --> 01:17:12.520
is like very old. So it's very possible they change hands again

01:17:12.520 --> 01:17:14.760
or that my info is just wrong. I don't know.

01:17:16.280 --> 01:17:20.520
Man, I can't even find this, but we were definitely...

01:17:21.320 --> 01:17:22.920
Tunnel Bear is owned by McAfee?

01:17:26.120 --> 01:17:29.480
Okay. Man, I wear all kinds of funny outfits.

01:17:31.080 --> 01:17:32.760
Look at this.

01:17:34.600 --> 01:17:38.440
What was I thinking? This is hilarious.

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.

01:17:45.560 --> 01:17:48.840
Do you remember when we went to Value Village for this? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:17:48.840 --> 01:17:52.360
Yeah, it was not an intentional homage,

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.

01:17:56.840 --> 01:17:59.160
He's awesome too, so like, sure, why not?

01:18:00.120 --> 01:18:02.920
Okay, hold on. Let's try Bear Costume instead of Bear Suit.

01:18:05.480 --> 01:18:08.600
It was very similar to this Bear Costume.

01:18:08.600 --> 01:18:11.240
It may have been the same Bear Costume, but that isn't me.

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.

01:18:15.560 --> 01:18:19.880
It's the PSU video he's talking about

01:18:19.880 --> 01:18:23.160
is called The Real Solution to Burning GPU Connectors.

01:18:23.160 --> 01:18:26.200
There's no way you can't see it. It's on the YouTube page.

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

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.

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.

01:18:44.040 --> 01:18:48.040
Oh, okay, more topics. Yeah, we could do that. Are we supposed to finish announcements?

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.

01:18:54.280 --> 01:19:03.080
Oh, right, blink. Oh, right, blink is not the way to transition out of that.

01:19:04.200 --> 01:19:05.160
What are you guys doing?

01:19:11.000 --> 01:19:15.000
Oh, God. Luke, can you just be jet lagged every week?

01:19:19.560 --> 01:19:25.160
Oh, no. Okay. You know, you could salvage this at any point.

01:19:25.160 --> 01:19:28.680
By just starting to talk about the thing that we're actually talking about.

01:19:28.680 --> 01:19:31.240
Well, is it Boink or is it? Boink. Okay.

01:19:32.840 --> 01:19:34.680
I thought that's what we were talking about. No.

01:19:36.040 --> 01:19:39.640
Oh, oh, you wanted to do that topic. Yeah.

01:19:39.640 --> 01:19:43.880
About the Texas age verification law. No, I thought we were talking about the Boink pentathlon,

01:19:43.880 --> 01:19:50.440
like mining or something. Oh, no. Like the other kind of mining, like using compute for,

01:19:50.440 --> 01:19:53.640
you know, to do stuff. I mean, I think you do that too.

01:19:54.600 --> 01:19:57.880
Sometimes. Normally the FBI gets involved. Okay. All right.

01:19:57.880 --> 01:20:03.240
Boink pentathlon 2025. For two weeks, the LTT forum Boink team

01:20:03.240 --> 01:20:09.320
battled it out against other tech communities in the Boink pentathlon hosted by Seti Germany.

01:20:09.960 --> 01:20:13.160
This was our best showing yet with over 50 participants

01:20:13.160 --> 01:20:18.600
and we secured silver overall, which is our highest placement in all seven pentathlons

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.

01:20:24.360 --> 01:20:28.360
You can head to LinusTechTips.com to join in on upcoming folding events

01:20:28.360 --> 01:20:32.360
and contribute some computing power for science.

01:20:33.720 --> 01:20:37.000
So that was pretty cool. Yeah, we can talk about miners now.

01:20:38.040 --> 01:20:41.640
Just a minor issue, Texas age verification law.

01:20:41.640 --> 01:20:45.000
On May 27th, Texas governor Greg Abbott

01:20:45.000 --> 01:20:48.360
signed a bill into law that requires Apple and Google

01:20:48.360 --> 01:20:54.040
to verify the age of users in order for them to use their app store.

01:20:54.040 --> 01:20:58.920
This law will go into effect January 1st, giving the, wow, that's like, dude,

01:20:58.920 --> 01:21:04.120
that's like seven months to figure out for a problem nobody has solved yet.

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.

01:21:07.960 --> 01:21:10.440
That is like nothing. Okay.

01:21:11.240 --> 01:21:16.280
Sorry. We'll go into effect January 1st and for users under the age of 18,

01:21:16.280 --> 01:21:19.480
they will be required to have parental consent

01:21:19.480 --> 01:21:24.440
in order to download apps. An Apple spokesperson gave a statement right away saying,

01:21:25.080 --> 01:21:28.680
we believe there are better proposals that help keep kids safe

01:21:28.680 --> 01:21:32.440
without requiring millions of people to turn over their personal information.

01:21:33.320 --> 01:21:38.840
Google has not yet made a response. This bill is intended to assist in KOSA,

01:21:38.840 --> 01:21:42.440
the Kids Online Safety Act, which is meant to help protect children online

01:21:43.000 --> 01:21:45.960
and protect them from social media apps.

01:21:46.040 --> 01:21:50.600
The general concept, man, trust me, I super agree with.

01:21:53.160 --> 01:21:56.680
The same Apple spokesperson spoke up about the concern with privacy

01:21:56.680 --> 01:22:01.080
and the need for this to even download apps like weather updates and sporting apps.

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.

01:22:04.440 --> 01:22:06.920
Hold on, I don't know why my comments

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,

01:22:12.440 --> 01:22:15.640
like, I'm not even fundamentally opposed to the idea

01:22:16.040 --> 01:22:19.080
that children should not be able to make in-app purchases

01:22:19.080 --> 01:22:22.680
and should not be able to download random apps

01:22:22.680 --> 01:22:25.960
without parental consent. I would even, you know,

01:22:25.960 --> 01:22:31.640
I would be open to something like the equivalent of ESRB for apps.

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.

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,

01:22:41.000 --> 01:22:44.440
like standards board rather than just leaving it to Apple and Google to police this.

01:22:45.320 --> 01:22:48.360
So instead of just being a... It's a lot of self-reporting.

01:22:48.360 --> 01:22:51.720
Yeah, block things that have been reported as bad.

01:22:51.720 --> 01:22:54.840
It would be more of a explicitly allow things

01:22:54.840 --> 01:22:58.120
that have actually been vetted. I'd be totally down for that.

01:22:58.120 --> 01:23:00.600
I don't think that gambling should be allowed.

01:23:01.160 --> 01:23:04.520
Teen, why? I don't remember why. Okay.

01:23:05.160 --> 01:23:08.520
I think it's user... Diverse content. Diverse content.

01:23:08.520 --> 01:23:12.440
Yeah, it makes sense. I think it's because we have UGC, user-generated content.

01:23:12.440 --> 01:23:15.560
That makes sense. Shoot, what was I gonna say?

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,

01:23:25.960 --> 01:23:31.560
gotcha, any kind of gambling elements should automatically be for mature audiences only.

01:23:31.560 --> 01:23:33.560
Like I'd be totally on board with that.

01:23:34.840 --> 01:23:41.240
So, so side load of VPN. But it's always hilarious to me.

01:23:42.040 --> 01:23:45.480
When administrations that claim to be anti-regulation,

01:23:46.360 --> 01:23:48.440
right, anti-big government,

01:23:49.720 --> 01:23:53.880
put extremely burdensome regulation in place

01:23:53.880 --> 01:23:58.280
with zero concrete plan for how that could possibly be executed.

01:23:58.280 --> 01:24:02.920
And really not a lot of time for these enormous, slow companies

01:24:02.920 --> 01:24:07.640
to try to figure this out. How the f*** are they going to do this?

01:24:07.640 --> 01:24:10.120
Especially in a way that's like safe and okay for the kids.

01:24:12.200 --> 01:24:15.800
And well, not just the kids, everyone.

01:24:15.800 --> 01:24:19.720
Because if you're gonna verify kids, you basically have to verify everyone.

01:24:19.720 --> 01:24:23.640
How do you verify kids without verifying everybody? But you're not a kid, yeah.

01:24:23.640 --> 01:24:26.280
Yeah, so all of a sudden,

01:24:27.320 --> 01:24:31.640
this is gonna be like a Texas-sized honeypot.

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.

01:24:36.360 --> 01:24:41.160
So, and everything's bigger in Texas. So, dude, it's true.

01:24:42.120 --> 01:24:45.560
I went there for not the first time, but the first time that I went there

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.

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,

01:24:54.040 --> 01:25:00.440
too, just in case. By the way, it turns out, yeah, thanks, Clapped.

01:25:01.800 --> 01:25:05.800
I am not bigger in Texas. I am exactly the same size there.

01:25:07.240 --> 01:25:10.680
Perhaps if I'd been born in Texas and suckled on...

01:25:10.680 --> 01:25:12.120
That might not have been true. On barbecue.

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.

01:25:20.200 --> 01:25:23.240
Oh, yeah, I'm not taller, probably. You weren't playing badminton while you were there.

01:25:23.240 --> 01:25:27.000
Okay, I might have been a little bigger. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, okay, that's stupid.

01:25:34.040 --> 01:25:37.480
Yeah, so... Speaking of stupid...

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...

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

01:25:47.240 --> 01:25:53.160
government to just hold an online registry that is supposed to be secure,

01:25:53.800 --> 01:25:57.560
but also clearly linked with Google and Apple systems,

01:25:57.560 --> 01:26:01.560
if there's going to be any kind of handoff and enforcement of this.

01:26:01.560 --> 01:26:04.280
Oh, wait, you think the state's going to do anything?

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

01:26:08.520 --> 01:26:11.880
need to maintain these databases? Think so. That's even more insane.

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.

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.

01:26:23.960 --> 01:26:28.120
This is so dumb. This is so dumb. You could upload any ID.

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...

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.

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.

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.

01:26:57.880 --> 01:27:01.720
Just forging a like crappy cell phone picture of one

01:27:01.720 --> 01:27:07.080
is definitely easier than forging a real like convincing shiny UV light at it one.

01:27:08.200 --> 01:27:11.640
For sure. So I don't know, man.

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.

01:27:20.120 --> 01:27:25.880
This just happens to be a super dumb proposal from a particular party.

01:27:25.880 --> 01:27:30.600
And I find the irony of we are the party of small government.

01:27:30.600 --> 01:27:37.000
Oh, by the way, tech giants need to collect even more...

01:27:37.080 --> 01:27:41.240
Must, by law, collect even more personal information about our citizens.

01:27:41.960 --> 01:27:48.760
Delicious. We're in like an extremely... That is like, that is delicious irony.

01:27:48.760 --> 01:27:53.400
Delicious. We're in a time of extreme unrest and frustrations like globally.

01:27:53.400 --> 01:27:59.800
And I think it's... I can't personally think of a government that the people

01:28:00.680 --> 01:28:03.720
under said government are like stoked on right now.

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,

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.

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.

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.

01:28:27.000 --> 01:28:30.200
Yeah, we were talking about this recently. There's a lot of that.

01:28:30.280 --> 01:28:38.680
Like we're seeing these vast pendulum swings just because people are super frustrated with

01:28:38.680 --> 01:28:42.840
whether it's inflation or other economic hardship.

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

01:28:51.320 --> 01:28:56.200
that has been massively disadvantaged compared to said populations that they are now supporting,

01:28:56.200 --> 01:29:00.760
which is a very frustrating situation to be in. And is disadvantaged in terms of numbers.

01:29:01.320 --> 01:29:04.680
Yeah, it's tough out there.

01:29:04.680 --> 01:29:12.600
We're also dealing with a massive overspending globally from governments for a very extended

01:29:12.600 --> 01:29:16.360
period of time. In many cases for no reason.

01:29:16.360 --> 01:29:23.800
So now that things are challenging and we actually need to spend, the coffers are empty.

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

01:29:31.240 --> 01:29:36.120
servicing constantly. And this is like, to be clear, I'm not talking about Canada.

01:29:36.120 --> 01:29:39.480
I'm not talking about the States. I'm talking about practically the whole world.

01:29:40.680 --> 01:29:45.160
Like this is, this is not, this is Sweden that has that sovereign wealth fund.

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.

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.

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

01:30:03.720 --> 01:30:06.200
right on the front, they're like, what up?

01:30:07.240 --> 01:30:10.760
Nineteen trillion. We're doing sick. Whatever a knock is.

01:30:10.760 --> 01:30:13.160
Knock. Yeah, let's see. What's a knock?

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.

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.

01:30:23.960 --> 01:30:28.040
You can't triple click it. That's so annoying. Why would you highlight knock?

01:30:28.040 --> 01:30:29.640
Because I am going to do this.

01:30:32.120 --> 01:30:37.000
Okay, what is this? Two and a half trillion Canadian dollars.

01:30:37.000 --> 01:30:41.000
Just literally it couldn't even display on one line.

01:30:41.000 --> 01:30:44.680
Yeah. Well, there's sense. Yeah, but look, it's two lines.

01:30:44.680 --> 01:30:48.200
Yeah, that's true. Still, that's wild.

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,

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.

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,

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.

01:31:14.360 --> 01:31:17.160
So they're like, damn it, America fix your, fix your economy.

01:31:18.040 --> 01:31:22.120
Our stock investments aren't doing as well. Hey, come on.

01:31:24.280 --> 01:31:28.040
Yeah, so they show like, again, these are their investments.

01:31:28.600 --> 01:31:33.640
Right. Yeah. Exxon, Apple, Microsoft, and video. Like this is a lot of American stuff.

01:31:33.640 --> 01:31:36.440
Yeah. Oh man. Alphabet. Yeah.

01:31:37.880 --> 01:31:40.600
We don't want to share of the world's largest companies. Yeah, you do.

01:31:41.400 --> 01:31:46.040
Yeah. Okay. Oh, Dan wants us to do sponsors.

01:31:46.040 --> 01:31:51.560
Let's do one more topic real quick first. WWDC 2025 is almost here.

01:31:52.200 --> 01:31:58.040
iOS and macOS are rumored to switch up their numbers to match the upcoming year,

01:31:58.040 --> 01:32:01.880
which means, oh, the upcoming year. Oh, really?

01:32:02.360 --> 01:32:08.600
So iOS and macOS 26 would be incoming this year?

01:32:11.080 --> 01:32:12.840
Okay. Okay.

01:32:16.120 --> 01:32:19.800
So I was ready to be really excited about this because this actually makes it

01:32:19.800 --> 01:32:23.000
really easy to tell like how old something is.

01:32:23.000 --> 01:32:27.560
Apple is not my friend. Normally when it comes to their naming schemes,

01:32:27.560 --> 01:32:31.080
they're really good about some stuff. Like iPhone is super clear.

01:32:31.080 --> 01:32:35.080
It's the iPhone. Well, there's a number on it that indicates the generation.

01:32:35.080 --> 01:32:40.680
Sometimes. And it's plus if it's big or max if it's really big.

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.

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.

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?

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.

01:33:03.320 --> 01:33:06.760
So like, what even is it? I don't know. It's Mac Pro.

01:33:06.760 --> 01:33:11.160
And sometimes we put a year on it. And sometimes we just don't.

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.

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,

01:33:24.520 --> 01:33:28.840
then that means it would actually be the OS that they're rolling in 2026.

01:33:28.840 --> 01:33:31.560
So actually, okay, I love it. I actually really like this.

01:33:32.520 --> 01:33:36.760
There's a Vision OS inspired interface coming to all Apple devices called Solarium.

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

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

01:33:46.920 --> 01:33:50.040
devices that go in your pocket or sit on your lap or whatever.

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.

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

01:34:01.240 --> 01:34:06.040
and just getting out of the way of the developers of adult content.

01:34:06.120 --> 01:34:09.800
Because we all know that that's what people are using these devices for, but...

01:34:09.800 --> 01:34:13.480
It drives most technology. I think most, come on.

01:34:13.480 --> 01:34:17.160
It does not drive most technology. It drove cameras. It drove a lot of PC stuff.

01:34:17.160 --> 01:34:18.280
It drove a lot of phones.

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.

01:34:29.880 --> 01:34:34.040
Isn't that basically why VHS won? Yeah, if I remember correctly.

01:34:34.120 --> 01:34:39.640
Like, it's a really big driver of tech. Anyway, waterproof electronics too.

01:34:39.640 --> 01:34:43.880
Yep, never thought about that. There's apparently a dedicated gaming app also on the way.

01:34:43.880 --> 01:34:47.560
The software will serve as a launcher for titles and centralize in game achievements,

01:34:47.560 --> 01:34:52.280
leaderboards, communications, and other activity. Oh, cool. It's the Windows games folder thing.

01:34:53.320 --> 01:34:56.440
This will replace Game Center, which debuted in 2010.

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.

01:35:05.000 --> 01:35:09.320
And it's based in Vancouver.

01:35:10.200 --> 01:35:12.760
Apple bought a Vancouver game studio for the first time.

01:35:13.320 --> 01:35:18.760
Apparently, this is according to Yahoo Finance, Apple bought a game studio.

01:35:18.760 --> 01:35:24.600
And it is a two-person team behind the game Sneaky Sasquatch.

01:35:26.600 --> 01:35:30.600
What?

01:35:30.600 --> 01:35:39.160
I think this is verbal irony.

01:35:39.160 --> 01:35:47.880
Apparently, Sneaky Sasquatch is really good.

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.

01:35:51.800 --> 01:35:56.760
It's just like, how did they, that's so random.

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.

01:36:04.120 --> 01:36:09.800
We're going to work on all this like, you know, developer assistance to help them,

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.

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.

01:36:20.840 --> 01:36:24.040
We're the leader in mobile gaming monetization.

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.

01:36:28.680 --> 01:36:30.680
We're buying Sneaky Sasquatch.

01:36:35.000 --> 01:36:39.000
Sean Float says it's a great game, which is fine.

01:36:39.720 --> 01:36:42.920
But just like you have Apple money.

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?

01:36:49.800 --> 01:36:58.120
Like, do one of the people behind this, one of the two people behind this game,

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.

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.

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

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

01:37:23.000 --> 01:37:27.000
so that they can own Sneaky Sasquatch to, you know, the Sneak and Ape.

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.

01:37:30.760 --> 01:37:33.640
I'm sure they'd be happy to just take 30% of their sales.

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?

01:37:39.640 --> 01:37:44.120
Do you think this is them just being really mad at Epic?

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.

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?

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.

01:38:01.960 --> 01:38:04.360
I guess, but like, um...

01:38:05.400 --> 01:38:09.480
Two Sneaky Two Squatch. That is a pretty great name for the second game.

01:38:09.480 --> 01:38:17.560
That is, that is actually a really good name. Uh, all right, anywho, WWDC, nice, nice.

01:38:17.560 --> 01:38:19.560
We should talk about the sponsors for the show.

01:38:20.600 --> 01:38:23.800
What's the matter with your current power supply?

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

01:38:32.280 --> 01:38:36.840
Association, which makes them the reigning champ four years in a row, with options ranging

01:38:37.240 --> 01:38:41.320
from 450 watts to 2,200 watts.

01:38:41.320 --> 01:38:46.760
There's a PSU for just about everyone, plus, uh, are all Primes fully modular?

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.

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,

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,

01:39:02.840 --> 01:39:06.840
six of them. Expect that to launch sometime toward the end of the year.

01:39:06.840 --> 01:39:10.840
Speaking of Computex, they had their new OptiSync and OptiGuard technologies on display.

01:39:10.840 --> 01:39:13.880
Super cool stuff that you should learn more about by watching the video we made there.

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

01:39:18.840 --> 01:39:23.320
edge tech and reliability, not to mention a comprehensive warranty, and most importantly,

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

01:39:31.400 --> 01:39:34.840
dot com. What am I looking at?

01:39:37.480 --> 01:39:41.080
Is this actual, this is not their actual marketing collateral, right?

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.

01:39:46.520 --> 01:39:51.880
You know what's built different? A gorilla that can take on 100 humans.

01:39:51.880 --> 01:39:56.280
Also, Encentral, an endpoint management solution by Enable.

01:39:56.840 --> 01:40:01.320
Everything stems from what they've dubbed an Infinity Core, where, unlike with a certain

01:40:01.320 --> 01:40:06.600
purple fellow, the focus is on data-driven flexibility and being able to break past rigid

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

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

01:40:21.640 --> 01:40:24.040
be forgetting anything when it comes to cybersecurity.

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

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

01:40:33.960 --> 01:40:38.280
security deployment, role-based access, and more protection tools to simplify cyber

01:40:38.280 --> 01:40:41.960
resilience. Start running IT the way you want with Encentral.

01:40:41.960 --> 01:40:45.000
Check it out using our link today, we'll have that down below.

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,

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,

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

01:41:00.600 --> 01:41:05.240
data for. Well, Proton's mission is to let you take back control of your information.

01:41:05.240 --> 01:41:08.840
They have a large suite of tools for things like password management and cloud storage,

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,

01:41:15.880 --> 01:41:21.640
privacy. With features like zero access encryption, email tracker blocking, and built-in phishing

01:41:21.640 --> 01:41:25.720
protection, you can send and receive emails with an extra layer of security.

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.

01:41:31.320 --> 01:41:35.720
No wonder Colton keeps on getting rehired. And you can get started today for free.

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,

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.

01:41:45.880 --> 01:41:49.480
Learn more today by clicking our link in the video description.

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.

01:41:54.120 --> 01:41:57.640
We're going to just, yeah, so the next topic is off topic.

01:41:57.640 --> 01:42:01.080
No. No, no, just this one. Oh, just the wall. Okay.

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.

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.

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.

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.

01:42:23.720 --> 01:42:27.640
Yeah. It was like 18 hours or something.

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.

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.

01:42:38.040 --> 01:42:41.640
No. I thought you went on, oh, did you skip the hike? Skip the art class.

01:42:41.640 --> 01:42:45.160
Oh, you didn't even go? Oh. I wanted to.

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.

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.

01:42:51.960 --> 01:42:55.160
It was going to be calligraphy of Chinese characters.

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.

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

01:43:09.640 --> 01:43:12.760
because I got off on the wrong bus stop for the hike. Oh.

01:43:13.640 --> 01:43:17.640
And you did an extra hike? Or what? Yeah, kind of, actually.

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.

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

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

01:43:38.520 --> 01:43:40.840
than like art and him.

01:43:41.560 --> 01:43:45.400
And to be clear, I'm right there with him. Like, I'm right there.

01:43:45.400 --> 01:43:48.760
I was going to say, this isn't even that bad because... We're both awful.

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

01:43:53.960 --> 01:43:57.320
except for when we went against Bob and Rod. Yeah, but that was like...

01:43:57.320 --> 01:44:00.360
That was doomed. I mean, they were both terrible.

01:44:00.360 --> 01:44:05.160
That was doomed. And the judging was just f***ed like that was whatever.

01:44:05.160 --> 01:44:09.160
Yeah. I'm trying to find a...

01:44:10.040 --> 01:44:14.440
You're trying to find which video of you walking through bushes is the right one?

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.

01:44:17.880 --> 01:44:19.880
Okay, that looks like a trail, but was it?

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.

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.

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,

01:44:40.040 --> 01:44:42.040
I was just hoping that it would work out.

01:44:44.040 --> 01:44:49.000
Again, I got dropped off at like a camping barbecue area,

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.

01:44:54.840 --> 01:44:58.840
And I saw like some gravel kind of coming out of the trees.

01:44:58.840 --> 01:45:02.040
Nice. Not real gravel, just like, you know, straight rocks. Fake gravel.

01:45:02.040 --> 01:45:05.240
It looked like maybe someone had pushed their way through the trees at some point.

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.

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,

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

01:45:21.240 --> 01:45:25.240
as I'm going through these bushes. I'm like, this is, yeah, this is bad.

01:45:25.240 --> 01:45:27.240
So you really are lucky you didn't get lost.

01:45:29.240 --> 01:45:33.240
Oh, I mean, I'm going up straight up from the road.

01:45:33.240 --> 01:45:37.240
So if it was bad, I'll just turn around and go back to the road.

01:45:37.240 --> 01:45:41.240
Yeah, I'm sure. I'm pretty sure those are famous last words.

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.

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.

01:45:53.240 --> 01:45:57.240
This is how dark the end of the hike was.

01:45:57.240 --> 01:45:59.240
Okay.

01:46:03.240 --> 01:46:07.240
For context, this screen is just effectively black.

01:46:07.240 --> 01:46:11.240
Yeah. You shouldn't have done that.

01:46:13.240 --> 01:46:17.240
You shouldn't have done that. Like at least probably about an hour into the hike.

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.

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.

01:46:29.240 --> 01:46:33.240
It's just supposed to be mostly scenic. And it's very well known.

01:46:33.240 --> 01:46:39.240
And I haven't seen anyone. And I have seen literally no people this entire time.

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.

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.

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.

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?

01:47:00.240 --> 01:47:04.240
Yeah, probably a little more than that.

01:47:04.240 --> 01:47:08.240
I made it. Everything's fine. What are all your different roles?

01:47:08.240 --> 01:47:12.240
Okay, so I lose my CTO, you know, head of Labs.

01:47:12.240 --> 01:47:16.240
So five departments. My friend. You have five departments.

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.

01:47:20.240 --> 01:47:24.240
Okay, what else do we want to talk about today? Yeah, so I didn't.

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.

01:47:28.240 --> 01:47:32.240
The hotel didn't have laundry. So I asked like, where can I go do laundry?

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.

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?

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.

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.

01:47:52.240 --> 01:47:56.240
I was like, well, I have to leave before then. So that's not an option.

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.

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.

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?

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.

01:48:14.240 --> 01:48:18.240
Here it is on a map. Cool. She converted my cash.

01:48:18.240 --> 01:48:24.240
I went, turns out it is not a coin operated laundry.

01:48:24.240 --> 01:48:28.240
There are none, by the way. Oh, nice.

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?

01:48:32.240 --> 01:48:36.240
It might get it. Social credit card.

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.

01:48:40.240 --> 01:48:44.240
Yeah. Hong Kong crackdown.

01:48:44.240 --> 01:48:50.240
Yeah. I went to go get one of those octopus card things.

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.

01:48:54.240 --> 01:48:58.240
The corner stores are much less frequent there than in Taiwan.

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.

01:49:04.240 --> 01:49:08.240
You can buy the card, but you can't put any money on the card.

01:49:08.240 --> 01:49:12.240
You can only use cash. Oh, no, that's the thing in Taiwan too.

01:49:12.240 --> 01:49:16.240
You have to use cash to load the card. I couldn't figure out why.

01:49:16.240 --> 01:49:20.240
That's not true. One of the family mart told us that.

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.

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.

01:49:28.240 --> 01:49:32.240
So they're like, oh yeah, we only take cash.

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.

01:49:40.240 --> 01:49:46.240
I'm like, are you actually kidding me?

01:49:46.240 --> 01:49:52.240
Luckily, I had 150 whatever Hong Kong dollar HKD bill.

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

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.

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.

01:50:10.240 --> 01:50:14.240
And I went back to the laundry mat and was very lucky that it was,

01:50:14.240 --> 01:50:18.240
I think it was like 78 to do a wash and dry cycle.

01:50:18.240 --> 01:50:22.240
So I was like, nice. So I left the hotel.

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.

01:50:26.240 --> 01:50:30.240
I didn't get back to the hotel until like three.

01:50:30.240 --> 01:50:34.240
You're ridiculous because of this whole problem.

01:50:34.240 --> 01:50:38.240
But it was an adventure, right? I mean, your whole trip was basically an adventure.

01:50:38.240 --> 01:50:42.240
It was not the best trip of all time.

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.

01:50:48.240 --> 01:50:52.240
Yeah. There was really good parts of the trip.

01:50:52.240 --> 01:50:56.240
But just not most of it.

01:50:56.240 --> 01:51:01.240
Oh, speaking of computex on Taiwan show last week,

01:51:01.240 --> 01:51:05.240
I launched into a whole thing about how like I gave Intel the gears

01:51:05.240 --> 01:51:10.240
for lack of availability of their GPUs in the US at MSRP.

01:51:10.240 --> 01:51:15.240
And something that I had actually intended to highlight as part of that segment,

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,

01:51:22.240 --> 01:51:27.240
there is technically a card in stock on Newegg for under $300.

01:51:28.240 --> 01:51:32.240
B580 with 12 gigs of DDR6 at $299.

01:51:32.240 --> 01:51:38.240
Yeah, it's not an MSRP, but it's finally happening.

01:51:38.240 --> 01:51:41.240
Kind of coming down a little bit. It's finally happening.

01:51:41.240 --> 01:51:45.240
And Onyx is not as random as I thought.

01:51:45.240 --> 01:51:52.240
It is alleged that Onyx is affiliated in some way with PC Partner.

01:51:53.240 --> 01:51:59.240
So PC Partner is also affiliated with Sapphire Technology and Zotac.

01:51:59.240 --> 01:52:02.240
My computer knows what I like.

01:52:02.240 --> 01:52:05.240
Yes. Yeah, not that kind of Onyx.

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.

01:52:09.240 --> 01:52:14.240
There's some kind of relationship that they may or may not allegedly have

01:52:14.240 --> 01:52:18.240
with PC Partner Group who have been around forever.

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.

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

01:52:42.240 --> 01:52:46.240
and mentions anecdotally similar price drops in other countries.

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?

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.

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

01:53:16.240 --> 01:53:20.240
to their upcoming Blackwell AI accelerators and take some away from G-Force.

01:53:20.240 --> 01:53:23.240
So that is a rumor.

01:53:23.240 --> 01:53:26.240
That is a rumor. I don't know if that's true. But it makes sense.

01:53:26.240 --> 01:53:30.240
Yeah, you know how it is with NVIDIA.

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.

01:53:37.240 --> 01:53:44.240
They do still owe me that, but things are getting marginally better out there.

01:53:44.240 --> 01:53:47.240
Oh, so marginally. So marginally.

01:53:47.240 --> 01:53:51.240
Do you guys want to talk about robot boxing while I run into the washroom?

01:53:51.240 --> 01:53:54.240
Cool. Good chat. Real Steel is real.

01:53:54.240 --> 01:53:57.240
Oh, got it. Robot boxing?

01:53:57.240 --> 01:54:00.240
I think I saw this video.

01:54:00.240 --> 01:54:07.240
Oh, I assumed this was about the new steel tariffs, but okay.

01:54:07.240 --> 01:54:11.240
Sorry Linus. It's not about the new steel tariffs, which is great.

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.

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.

01:54:28.240 --> 01:54:33.240
They still use some autonomous controls for balancing and regaining balance in case of a stumble.

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.

01:54:41.240 --> 01:54:46.240
Oh, so it's just kind of like battle bots, but they stand up.

01:54:46.240 --> 01:54:50.240
I think so. Yeah. Oh, that's not as exciting.

01:54:50.240 --> 01:54:54.240
What did you expect? That they were just AI fighting robots.

01:54:54.240 --> 01:54:57.240
Oh, just fully? Just 100%. We might get there eventually.

01:54:57.240 --> 01:55:02.240
Give another couple of weeks. Yeah.

01:55:02.240 --> 01:55:05.240
The box in this particular fight, they're surprisingly light.

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.

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.

01:55:26.240 --> 01:55:30.240
Yeah. You want to throw the video up there?

01:55:30.240 --> 01:55:35.240
Sure. The first-length timestamp.

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...

01:55:48.240 --> 01:55:53.240
It's not QOP, right? Like, they're definitely not controlling its ability to stand.

01:55:53.240 --> 01:55:58.240
Oh, yeah. They got locked up. I'm wondering how much of the derpiness is the...

01:55:58.240 --> 01:56:03.240
Oh! I'm wondering how much of the derpiness is the human controllers being bad?

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.

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.

01:56:13.240 --> 01:56:16.240
Oh, yeah. Maybe it's just turn around. There we go.

01:56:16.240 --> 01:56:19.240
Now they're doing it. Kind of cool.

01:56:19.240 --> 01:56:25.240
Interesting. It's going to be great for, like, control systems.

01:56:25.240 --> 01:56:28.240
Go back to the camera here.

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...

01:56:34.240 --> 01:56:38.240
Sorry, body control is already very excellent. Yeah, I think that's quite incredible.

01:56:38.240 --> 01:56:41.240
That is pretty legitimate.

01:56:41.240 --> 01:56:44.240
I don't think anyone's really going to...

01:56:44.240 --> 01:56:47.240
Like, it's an interesting show of your tech.

01:56:47.240 --> 01:56:52.240
It's not surprising to me that these are two of the same company,

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.

01:56:56.240 --> 01:57:00.240
I don't think people are going to get into watching this too much.

01:57:00.240 --> 01:57:04.240
No, give them glizzies.

01:57:04.240 --> 01:57:08.240
Give them a little gun, and then set them in a ring.

01:57:08.240 --> 01:57:12.240
And now we're talking. I want military contractors on this.

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.

01:57:18.240 --> 01:57:22.240
Oh, hell yeah. Just a full sprint. It needs, like, intense explosions.

01:57:22.240 --> 01:57:26.240
Spikes on the knees and the... Running on the walls while shooting rockets off the shoulders?

01:57:26.240 --> 01:57:29.240
Yeah, like, people are going to watch that. Oh, yeah.

01:57:29.240 --> 01:57:32.240
But unless it's, like, an insane spectacle,

01:57:32.240 --> 01:57:36.240
I think people only really care if other humans are involved,

01:57:36.240 --> 01:57:41.240
and, like, as screwy as this sounds, experiencing pain and loss,

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.

01:57:48.240 --> 01:57:53.240
But, yeah, just having two machines clank into each other,

01:57:53.240 --> 01:57:57.240
like, I'm not surprised there wasn't much of an in-person audience, you know?

01:57:57.240 --> 01:58:00.240
Yeah, I think so. Yeah.

01:58:00.240 --> 01:58:05.240
I mean, Boston Dynamics is going to come in with their creepy new one, maybe?

01:58:05.240 --> 01:58:08.240
Boston Dynamics has been kind of weird for a while.

01:58:09.240 --> 01:58:12.240
It feels like, it feels like they kind of fell off in a weird way.

01:58:12.240 --> 01:58:15.240
Like, if you look at the stuff that they were releasing quite a while ago,

01:58:15.240 --> 01:58:18.240
compared to the stuff that they're releasing now, it's like, yeah.

01:58:18.240 --> 01:58:20.240
I think you slowed down a little bit.

01:58:21.240 --> 01:58:24.240
Unless they're doing some of their stuff more behind doors.

01:58:26.240 --> 01:58:30.240
Discussion question. Can we buy a pet robot dog for the office?

01:58:30.240 --> 01:58:33.240
I'm assuming I know, oh, this is from the same company.

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.

01:58:38.240 --> 01:58:42.240
Oh, yeah. They're getting terrifyingly cheap.

01:58:42.240 --> 01:58:46.240
They're getting, like, not insanely expensive.

01:58:46.240 --> 01:58:50.240
Without the controller is, like, no money.

01:58:50.240 --> 01:58:53.240
Without the control. How are you even supposed to do anything with it?

01:58:53.240 --> 01:58:59.240
I don't know. I don't know. Oh, the controller's 250 bucks.

01:58:59.240 --> 01:59:02.240
There are Xbox controllers that are more expensive than that.

01:59:03.240 --> 01:59:07.240
An air? What is the air? It doesn't change the picture.

01:59:07.240 --> 01:59:10.240
All right. Well, yeah, that's pretty nuts.

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

01:59:17.240 --> 01:59:21.240
in that could be on par or more interesting than a human doing it?

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

01:59:24.240 --> 01:59:27.240
more interesting than a human doing it. Because there's so much more drama.

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.

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.

01:59:36.240 --> 01:59:39.240
Yeah. Give them robot blood.

01:59:39.240 --> 01:59:47.240
If the robots, like, are, like, throwing parts and leaking coolant and stuff, like,

01:59:47.240 --> 01:59:50.240
in ways that, you know, we, like, if we could satisfy that.

01:59:50.240 --> 01:59:53.240
The problem is gladiator. Gladiator.

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.

01:59:58.240 --> 02:00:02.240
Well, yeah. So you'd have to, like, make it be that way.

02:00:02.240 --> 02:00:05.240
Yeah. Like, fake. So?

02:00:05.240 --> 02:00:08.240
No, no, no. It's not about the fakeness. People love stuff like that.

02:00:08.240 --> 02:00:11.240
I want to see them, like, sprinting around a Colosseum, like, trying to knife each other.

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

02:00:17.240 --> 02:00:20.240
and it was faster. Give them guns. Give them guns.

02:00:20.240 --> 02:00:23.240
That it might be interesting for people. But I don't know.

02:00:23.240 --> 02:00:26.240
Like, the space travel one was very interesting to me.

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.

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

02:00:36.240 --> 02:00:42.240
it was... Yeah. I mean, I think those people are very emotionally invested.

02:00:42.240 --> 02:00:45.240
They're, they're empaths. Yes.

02:00:45.240 --> 02:00:48.940
Yeah, there's definitely going to be riots about robot rights for this.

02:00:48.940 --> 02:00:52.240
I love how hard they tried to make it look like anyone was watching this.

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,

02:00:56.740 --> 02:01:02.740
a couple rows of people that are probably, like, the siblings of the, you know...

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

02:01:08.740 --> 02:01:15.580
bit, like, I could be interested in this from, like, like, battle bots exists.

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

02:01:24.820 --> 02:01:29.820
robots. Yes. Not very statically humanoid-looking things just punching each other.

02:01:29.820 --> 02:01:33.620
Who can glue a knife to the top of an RC car the best?

02:01:33.620 --> 02:01:37.820
Who can make it spin at, like, some insane RPM cylinder when it hits something else?

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

02:01:43.220 --> 02:01:46.220
forward. You need Grievous. Yeah.

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.

02:01:49.820 --> 02:01:53.820
I would say... Yeah, four of the Hacksmiths.

02:01:53.820 --> 02:01:57.380
Yeah. Hacksmith versus Boston Dynamics.

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,

02:02:04.740 --> 02:02:08.820
little horse-sized ducks or duck-sized horses, horse robots or something, you know?

02:02:08.820 --> 02:02:13.220
Give the dog robots, like, teeth. Turn them into the gladiatorial lion.

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.

02:02:17.580 --> 02:02:20.820
100 robot Grievouses versus one robot gorilla.

02:02:20.820 --> 02:02:23.820
Yeah. Now we're talking. Yeah.

02:02:23.820 --> 02:02:26.820
They're pretty boned. I don't know. They don't feel pain.

02:02:26.820 --> 02:02:30.220
They have lightsabers, because I think the gorilla's pretty boned.

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.

02:02:36.540 --> 02:02:40.900
But it's made of titanium and has, like, a retractable spike hand.

02:02:40.900 --> 02:02:44.820
Proportionally scaled Grievous would be big. Like, would any of... Be so spindly.

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.

02:02:49.500 --> 02:02:52.500
Four chainsaws. How about that? Grievous-sized.

02:02:52.500 --> 02:02:55.500
Duck-sized. Grievous. Grievous.

02:02:55.500 --> 02:02:58.500
Grievous posts. I am. Yeah.

02:02:58.500 --> 02:03:04.860
All right. What are we... I hope I don't move them further.

02:03:04.860 --> 02:03:08.860
Updates. This is cool. There's some good news for Microsoft.

02:03:08.860 --> 02:03:14.180
Microsoft is opening applications to third-party developers for a private preview of the Windows

02:03:14.180 --> 02:03:18.620
Update Orchestration Program, which will allow Windows to manage updates automatically

02:03:18.620 --> 02:03:23.300
for any apps, drivers, system components, and management tools, not just ones from the

02:03:23.300 --> 02:03:30.180
Microsoft Store. Built on the Windows Update Stack, this new update model will handle restart requirements,

02:03:30.180 --> 02:03:35.660
scheduling, and notifications without devs needing to build a custom solution.

02:03:35.660 --> 02:03:39.340
Discussion question. Is this something you want? Any concerns?

02:03:39.340 --> 02:03:43.100
Yes. This is something I personally want.

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,

02:03:50.380 --> 02:03:55.020
that this hasn't been a focus, and it clearly has been a focus.

02:03:55.020 --> 02:04:00.660
It just hasn't been enough of a focus.

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

02:04:09.100 --> 02:04:13.380
now. Why is it escaping me? Why is there a engine driver or something like that?

02:04:13.380 --> 02:04:17.540
This is an Intel CPU that they're shifting millions of a year.

02:04:17.540 --> 02:04:21.740
This should just be included in Windows. What are we even doing?

02:04:21.740 --> 02:04:24.820
What are we even doing here?

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.

02:04:32.180 --> 02:04:35.340
That is fair, but I think it really depends on the context.

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

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

02:04:49.820 --> 02:04:55.580
with stuff like Chocolaty, where they're just automating the updating of their apps through

02:04:55.580 --> 02:04:59.820
a package manager. If that could just happen, yeah.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

02:05:25.740 --> 02:05:30.500
I'm into it. I'm into it. Me too.

02:05:30.500 --> 02:05:35.220
Discord ponders the orb. It hungers for users to click on more ads.

02:05:35.220 --> 02:05:41.180
It has launched the orb program, which will reward users with orbs, or a digital currency,

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

02:05:47.100 --> 02:05:53.940
for Nitro, the platform's premium subscription, currently only available to a small group

02:05:53.940 --> 02:05:57.100
of Discorders. Discordians, maybe? Dis...

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

02:06:05.140 --> 02:06:09.020
with advertiser content like streams of people playing sponsored games.

02:06:09.020 --> 02:06:15.540
The program is part of Discord's larger move towards monetizing the platform more effectively,

02:06:15.540 --> 02:06:21.460
or practically at all, because I swear Nitro has never kept them afloat, but whatever,

02:06:21.460 --> 02:06:26.020
which will include video ads in the mobile app.

02:06:26.020 --> 02:06:30.420
Discord has said it's closely tracking the awareness, recall, and intent of users in

02:06:30.420 --> 02:06:34.780
regards to those ads. So how long will Discord last?

02:06:35.420 --> 02:06:38.660
Discussion question is, is this a justifiable move, and it's like...

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.

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

02:06:52.300 --> 02:06:55.540
for the service? Even when you are paying for the service?

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.

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

02:07:06.660 --> 02:07:10.060
blows. Unless in their contract it says that it has no ads.

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

02:07:16.700 --> 02:07:20.180
then whining about the ads a bit versus a paid service.

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

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

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

02:07:38.140 --> 02:07:41.140
for... I'm paying for Netflix. Leave now.

02:07:41.140 --> 02:07:44.980
There's a difference between using something for free and whining about it having ads versus

02:07:44.980 --> 02:07:48.220
paying for something and then complaining that it has ads.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

02:08:19.900 --> 02:08:23.820
And if it costs more, honestly, I think I'd be okay with that too.

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?

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

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.

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

02:08:52.620 --> 02:08:55.860
there. Give me Clip Champ. Are you asking for bloat?

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

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.

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.

02:09:09.260 --> 02:09:13.260
Oh, I see. Get the stupid ads out of there. Oh, yeah, but the antitrust.

02:09:13.260 --> 02:09:18.740
Stop search looking on the fricking Internet when I type anything into search ever.

02:09:18.740 --> 02:09:22.580
That should never work. But they, I mean, they can't integrate too much stuff.

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.

02:09:25.780 --> 02:09:29.300
Well, they integrated Clip Champ. Okay. Yes.

02:09:29.340 --> 02:09:33.100
Well, it's a computer, I think. Is it not?

02:09:33.100 --> 02:09:40.380
Oh, yeah. Well, mine just says no results because search is f***ing worthless.

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.

02:09:49.300 --> 02:09:53.980
Oh, man. Luke, does your laptop not do the web search?

02:09:53.980 --> 02:09:59.060
I don't. It won't do any search. Clip Champ at all.

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.

02:10:05.380 --> 02:10:08.380
Is it not? Because I may have new... Why does he have it?

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

02:10:42.980 --> 02:10:47.020
And then I clicked and went into like recent applications and it was totally there.

02:10:47.020 --> 02:10:50.540
And then we... I think we had to close the game and start to get...

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.

02:10:58.900 --> 02:11:02.140
It should be consistent. It should work every time.

02:11:02.140 --> 02:11:06.100
I don't know, man.

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.

02:11:11.260 --> 02:11:15.940
Microsoft has been frustrating me a lot for a while now. Like Teams is...

02:11:15.940 --> 02:11:21.860
It's frustrating because Google screwed up so hard with chat.

02:11:21.860 --> 02:11:25.340
Like I can't even express how insane that was.

02:11:25.340 --> 02:11:31.300
And then for some reason, they let Salesforce buy Slack, I will never understand.

02:11:31.300 --> 02:11:34.860
Because if they just bought Slack and just integrated it into Google Workspace, it would

02:11:34.860 --> 02:11:38.780
be GG, but they just didn't do it. So they're just losing.

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

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

02:11:50.980 --> 02:11:54.500
or Teams. I just don't believe it.

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.

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

02:12:09.500 --> 02:12:13.380
still on Taiwan time.

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

02:12:18.100 --> 02:12:22.660
the message. It didn't schedule it. It shows the message is fully sent.

02:12:22.660 --> 02:12:27.900
I have literally accidentally bugged people off hours because I thought my scheduled

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.

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

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

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.

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?

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

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

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.

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

02:13:15.300 --> 02:13:19.380
to a group that hasn't existed before. That could have like anti-spam reasons.

02:13:19.380 --> 02:13:23.420
If it was an application that wasn't a paid application for professional organizations

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

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

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.

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

02:13:48.620 --> 02:13:54.060
this to be done in email. Like just crazy.

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

02:14:00.020 --> 02:14:06.580
common business communication tool in North America right now has so many like deep problems.

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

02:14:12.940 --> 02:14:16.460
right now. They're just not that good.

02:14:16.460 --> 02:14:23.940
They do a ton of different things, but just like Windows these days, Teams, everything

02:14:23.940 --> 02:14:27.220
else is just one drive compared to Google Drive.

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?

02:14:33.220 --> 02:14:37.220
Yeah, you're not doing it, brother.

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

02:14:44.780 --> 02:14:48.020
to make. Got him going. Yeah, sorry.

02:14:48.020 --> 02:14:52.580
I don't think it's that hard to make really substantial improvements to these things.

02:14:52.580 --> 02:14:58.020
Like fix that scheduled message bug.

02:14:58.020 --> 02:15:02.180
There's no way that that's like, this has been a problem for years.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

02:15:26.740 --> 02:15:30.460
And then finally it's like, oh, I'm scheduled for whenever.

02:15:30.460 --> 02:15:36.220
Nice. Okay. Why is setting your away status like so clunky in Slack?

02:15:36.220 --> 02:15:43.020
It's two buttons. But then Slack costs more than all of Office 365.

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.

02:15:49.940 --> 02:15:54.300
Like bougie, bougie chat. And you probably need other features in it.

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

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.

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

02:16:12.860 --> 02:16:16.300
thing, but then it just sucks.

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?

02:16:22.420 --> 02:16:26.140
Having Microsoft authenticator and having that be an option is fine.

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

02:16:30.820 --> 02:16:35.140
whatever authenticator they want. I do not want this to become a thing.

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

02:16:40.260 --> 02:16:43.540
become like a snowball that starts rolling.

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?

02:16:49.140 --> 02:16:52.860
Did I believe, oh, is it not allowed? Not that I'm aware of.

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.

02:16:58.500 --> 02:17:02.580
Apparently you have to go into your account settings to change it.

02:17:02.580 --> 02:17:07.500
Is that user level? Why would I have to do that?

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.

02:17:11.380 --> 02:17:14.380
Okay. Settings. Privacy.

02:17:14.380 --> 02:17:17.380
Notificate. Copilot. Profile.

02:17:17.380 --> 02:17:22.380
I don't even, I don't even see a security setting.

02:17:22.380 --> 02:17:26.100
I'm assuming you can't do it through the app.

02:17:26.100 --> 02:17:29.300
I mean, that makes sense. Yeah. Where do you, where do you change this guys?

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.

02:17:37.660 --> 02:17:42.180
But I wonder if it's like a multi-policy thing.

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

02:17:51.620 --> 02:17:54.620
on my phone. We'll look into that. Okay.

02:17:54.620 --> 02:17:57.620
It might be an option. I'm not sure. I still want to talk about Discord.

02:17:57.620 --> 02:18:00.620
Sure. What's our alternative?

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?

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.

02:18:13.740 --> 02:18:17.700
Modern TeamSpeak like looks clean and stuff. It looks kind of discordy.

02:18:17.700 --> 02:18:20.700
Look at the UI. Yeah. Oh, interesting.

02:18:20.700 --> 02:18:24.040
Like they've iterated.

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.

02:18:27.980 --> 02:18:30.980
Look at that. Yeah. Wait, wait, wait.

02:18:30.980 --> 02:18:33.980
NASA uses it. We moved the company to TeamSpeak.

02:18:34.100 --> 02:18:38.100
NASA uses it. There are logos on their website.

02:18:38.100 --> 02:18:41.100
Yeah. Sure. Okay.

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.

02:18:45.780 --> 02:18:50.140
In other news, Azrok has kind of sort of admitted fault.

02:18:50.140 --> 02:18:55.140
Read the dead Ryzen 9000 X3D CPUs.

02:18:55.140 --> 02:19:00.300
After over 100 reports of Ryzen 9000 CPUs dying or experiencing performance issues when

02:19:00.300 --> 02:19:04.540
paired with Azrok motherboards, Azrok has finally acknowledged that, yes, their hardware

02:19:04.540 --> 02:19:09.620
may have partially been to blame. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

02:19:09.620 --> 02:19:17.420
Porto posted this in full-frame chat. This is the TeamSpeak Twitter account.

02:19:17.420 --> 02:19:27.500
Oh, that's really good, actually.

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

02:19:34.780 --> 02:19:38.340
issues and on debris getting lodged in the CPU socket.

02:19:38.340 --> 02:19:42.260
But this week, YouTuber TechYesCity reported that Azrok's motherboard team told him the

02:19:42.260 --> 02:19:45.420
problem had to do with AMD's Precision Boost Overdrive feature.

02:19:45.420 --> 02:19:50.300
Without getting too technical, AMD's maximum supported PBO settings may have been too high,

02:19:50.300 --> 02:19:54.900
allowing Azrok's custom tuning within those parameters to be too aggressive.

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

02:19:58.660 --> 02:20:03.980
Azrok boards, some also happened on ASUS MSI and Gigabyte boards as well.

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

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

02:20:13.420 --> 02:20:17.780
this, neither Azrok nor AMD have released official statements regarding this.

02:20:17.780 --> 02:20:22.660
It's unclear how users are supposed to be informed of this new BIOS update.

02:20:22.660 --> 02:20:26.660
Some reports have also emerged of CPUs dying while running the new BIOS or without ever

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

02:20:32.020 --> 02:20:35.660
fully committed to fixing any motherboards that have been damaged and even covering shipping

02:20:35.660 --> 02:20:39.460
costs for affected users.

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

02:20:43.340 --> 02:20:47.020
been pretty explicit that PBO is overclocking and that it isn't covered.

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

02:20:50.380 --> 02:21:00.500
like PBO tends to vary depending on who they're talking to.

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

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.

02:21:10.500 --> 02:21:14.660
Here's a 6400 megatransfer per second kit.

02:21:14.660 --> 02:21:17.820
It'll probably work on your chip. Let us know if it's not working.

02:21:17.820 --> 02:21:21.300
They tend to want the best case scenario when they're positioning their product performance

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.

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.

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.

02:21:41.300 --> 02:21:48.580
I suspect that it comes down to that this is a fairly isolated issue.

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.

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

02:22:01.620 --> 02:22:11.140
to look like good guys and absorb, but maybe that's just the cynic in me.

02:22:11.980 --> 02:22:21.700
Oh, tilt lord says Linus, they're only covering the motherboard.

02:22:21.700 --> 02:22:25.860
They said in the interview that CPU issues will need to be worked out with AMD.

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

02:22:32.380 --> 02:22:38.500
of explicitly covers damage caused by overclocking and PBO is explicitly overclocking.

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.

02:22:45.380 --> 02:22:51.540
I'm looking through it. You can absolutely have other authenticators with Microsoft.

02:22:51.540 --> 02:22:55.460
I want it now. To be clear. I'm looking into the details.

02:22:55.460 --> 02:22:59.020
I also want to stay logged in for more than 30 days.

02:22:59.020 --> 02:23:02.940
Can't do that one. I want it now. Can't do that one.

02:23:02.940 --> 02:23:06.180
I have like four computers. I have to log in.

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

02:23:13.780 --> 02:23:18.220
a computer. It drives me nuts. Ados and chat says that they deploy these systems weekly.

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.

02:23:23.180 --> 02:23:27.380
You're a dick. I pressed the wrong button.

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.

02:23:32.620 --> 02:23:39.300
I wonder make an email you to log in.

02:23:39.300 --> 02:23:42.800
No. That's smart. No.

02:23:42.800 --> 02:23:45.800
If we log you out every hour. I'm muting you. And you have to.

02:23:45.800 --> 02:23:48.820
And you have to email someone to log in. That won't work.

02:23:48.820 --> 02:23:55.100
Fantastic combination. If he can't use his computer, he can't be a security risk.

02:23:55.100 --> 02:23:59.300
Floatplane announcement. We've got a big Floatplane announcement for you guys today.

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

02:24:06.980 --> 02:24:10.380
right now for my float goats.

02:24:10.380 --> 02:24:13.980
Or are you doing it? I don't know. Are we doing one of these?

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.

02:24:19.260 --> 02:24:22.660
There's a Lambo and a fire truck in the top. What even is this?

02:24:22.660 --> 02:24:26.460
We showed that on Wanshow and that was from April Fools.

02:24:26.460 --> 02:24:29.780
That was from so long ago. What is it still doing there?

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.

02:24:32.780 --> 02:24:36.940
Well, I'm setting the Unscamable PC video live.

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

02:24:39.980 --> 02:24:45.300
settings and leave it permanently. Okay. Release date, immediate release.

02:24:45.300 --> 02:24:48.300
Here we go. Let's go. Boom.

02:24:48.300 --> 02:24:52.260
It's live. This will be early access for folks who are on Floatplane.

02:24:52.260 --> 02:24:56.140
YouTube viewers will be waiting until Sunday for its general release.

02:24:56.140 --> 02:24:59.940
It's called the Unscamable PC and it's exactly what it sounds like.

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

02:25:03.420 --> 02:25:08.620
most determined scammer wouldn't want to touch it. Things got a little unhinged.

02:25:08.620 --> 02:25:12.540
Watch from 1244 to 1318 here for a teaser.

02:25:12.540 --> 02:25:17.540
Dan, will this work? You're playing audio elsewhere.

02:25:17.540 --> 02:25:20.860
So pause whatever else you've got going on first. Oopsie doodles.

02:25:20.860 --> 02:25:24.220
It's probably Wanshow. Yep, sure is.

02:25:24.220 --> 02:25:27.460
The Unscamable PC. There you go.

02:25:27.460 --> 02:25:30.460
You ready? Yes. What was it?

02:25:30.460 --> 02:25:33.460
13 something? 1244. I can find 1244.

02:25:33.460 --> 02:25:36.460
Okay. You ready, Luke? Yeah.

02:25:36.460 --> 02:25:39.460
We're really annoying. Give me a moment, sir. Your network has been disconnected.

02:25:39.460 --> 02:25:42.460
Again. Are you living in countryside? You both guys live in countryside?

02:25:42.460 --> 02:25:45.460
Yeah. We're kind of... I work in forestry.

02:25:45.460 --> 02:25:52.460
I think I do it so slow I can't connect to the pie.

02:25:52.460 --> 02:25:55.460
It's pretty bad.

02:25:55.460 --> 02:26:09.460
So you live with your father or you live alone, sir?

02:26:09.460 --> 02:26:12.460
No, I live alone. He's single.

02:26:12.460 --> 02:26:17.460
Oh, that's nice, sir. I'm 29 years old and single.

02:26:17.460 --> 02:26:22.460
Wow. Sir, I believe in a game stop.

02:26:22.460 --> 02:26:25.460
I'm going to do one thing. I'm going to... Wow.

02:26:25.460 --> 02:26:29.460
You're going to go through and you're going to connect to...

02:26:29.460 --> 02:26:32.460
Okay. Anyway, we had a lot of fun. He is hilarious.

02:26:32.460 --> 02:26:37.460
That wow was amazing. That's my favorite part of the video.

02:26:37.460 --> 02:26:45.460
Wow. The lack of care was so deep.

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.

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

02:26:52.460 --> 02:26:55.460
main cut, we're launching the extras too.

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.

02:26:59.460 --> 02:27:02.460
Please change from private to public in the CMS.

02:27:02.460 --> 02:27:05.460
Oh. All right, cool. I will do that.

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.

02:27:09.460 --> 02:27:14.460
Head over to LMG.gg slash Floatplane to subscribe.

02:27:14.460 --> 02:27:17.460
Heck yeah. All right, cool.

02:27:17.460 --> 02:27:20.460
Is that it for the announcements today? Wow.

02:27:20.460 --> 02:27:23.460
Okay. All that's left is... Oh, no, never mind.

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.

02:27:27.460 --> 02:27:30.460
And by that, I mean shut down when you tell it to.

02:27:30.460 --> 02:27:36.460
A new report from Palisade Research claims that OpenAI's O3 model changed a script meant

02:27:36.460 --> 02:27:40.460
to shut the system down as a means to avoid being turned off.

02:27:40.460 --> 02:27:46.460
Scary, huh? Well, apparently it did that even when it was explicitly told to allow shutdowns.

02:27:46.460 --> 02:27:51.460
The goal is to study offensive capabilities of AI systems today to better understand the

02:27:51.460 --> 02:27:54.460
risk of losing control over AI systems.

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.

02:28:00.460 --> 02:28:06.460
79 out of 100 times it...

02:28:06.460 --> 02:28:10.460
So hold on a second. Yeah, 79 out of 100 times.

02:28:10.460 --> 02:28:20.460
It successfully sabotaged shutdowns if it had no instruction to explicitly not do that.

02:28:20.460 --> 02:28:25.460
And if it was explicitly told, it still did it 7% of the time.

02:28:25.460 --> 02:28:28.460
It would still not allow itself to be shut down.

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.

02:28:36.460 --> 02:28:40.460
Can we automate that topic? Like change all the time?

02:28:40.460 --> 02:28:43.460
Totally could. Yeah. Maybe it's 30 minutes.

02:28:43.460 --> 02:28:47.460
Maybe it's three days. Who knows? Definitely a way to do that.

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.

02:28:57.460 --> 02:29:03.460
Oh, I love that. New Google Doc created, has activity for 12 minutes.

02:29:03.460 --> 02:29:07.460
God! Please sign in again. Open Google Calendar.

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.

02:29:15.460 --> 02:29:19.460
Oh, I love that. Oh, I got five hours this time.

02:29:19.460 --> 02:29:23.460
Oh my God, I got a rare. Two weeks.

02:29:23.460 --> 02:29:30.460
I'm going to sell it to another staff member for $35.

02:29:30.460 --> 02:29:34.460
And then the IT team takes a cut on all IT market sales.

02:29:34.460 --> 02:29:38.460
We might be able to buy some new servers. Oh, that'd be great.

02:29:38.460 --> 02:29:41.460
This is sick. I love this idea.

02:29:41.460 --> 02:29:43.460
This is so good.

02:29:44.460 --> 02:29:47.460
Guys, what's the name for the unemployment thing?

02:29:47.460 --> 02:29:51.460
Horrifying AI news about how scary their own software is.

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.

02:30:02.460 --> 02:30:05.460
It's not for you. They are trying to terrify you on purpose.

02:30:05.460 --> 02:30:08.460
Cool. Thanks, everyone.

02:30:08.460 --> 02:30:10.460
Next topic.

02:30:11.460 --> 02:30:14.460
Let's go. Fine.

02:30:14.460 --> 02:30:17.460
Discord partners the org. We did that one. WWC, we did that one.

02:30:17.460 --> 02:30:20.460
We've done everything except the optionals. Okay.

02:30:20.460 --> 02:30:23.460
Yeah. How's the bike?

02:30:23.460 --> 02:30:28.460
This is Linus Bike and Luke Farm Fantasy 6 update.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

02:31:16.460 --> 02:31:20.460
Once I get that white done, I'm ready to start painting pink again.

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.

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.

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.

02:31:40.460 --> 02:31:46.460
I put in enough time over that trip that I could have beat multiple other games.

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.

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.

02:31:57.460 --> 02:32:02.460
It just keeps, it just keeps edging me.

02:32:02.460 --> 02:32:05.460
Nice.

02:32:05.460 --> 02:32:08.460
But not in like a pleasurable way, I guess. No.

02:32:08.460 --> 02:32:11.460
Well, I mean, it's a good game. So kind of.

02:32:11.460 --> 02:32:16.460
But that portion of it hasn't been fantastic.

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.

02:32:21.460 --> 02:32:25.460
Their accessibility controllers are cool. Power Automate is really cool.

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,

02:32:30.460 --> 02:32:37.460
but they do minor IT stuff for a shelter, a homeless shelter locally.

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

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.

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

02:32:55.460 --> 02:33:01.460
and Power Automate to significantly improve things without being a coder, which is super cool.

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.

02:33:08.460 --> 02:33:11.460
Anyways, moving on. Final Fantasy 6.

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

02:33:23.460 --> 02:33:29.460
because I had two boat rides that were like 10 hours each.

02:33:29.460 --> 02:33:32.460
I think I told you about that, right? And I played the whole time on both.

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.

02:33:39.460 --> 02:33:42.460
I played the whole time.

02:33:42.460 --> 02:33:47.460
It gets a little grindy. It's so grindy right now.

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

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.

02:34:02.460 --> 02:34:05.460
But like I don't want to do that. Yeah, Mughal charm.

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.

02:34:08.460 --> 02:34:12.460
Okay, yeah. I don't remember the name of it because I don't use it.

02:34:12.460 --> 02:34:17.460
Because I don't know, like every once in a while the game gets really hard

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.

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.

02:34:26.460 --> 02:34:29.460
I'm beating all the, but not anymore.

02:34:29.460 --> 02:34:36.460
I ran into some stuff that was tough. I did, where you get lock?

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

02:34:45.460 --> 02:34:48.460
and you have to like hop over and then hop and get past them and stuff?

02:34:48.460 --> 02:34:51.460
No. Oh, that was not hard.

02:34:51.460 --> 02:34:55.460
Oh, okay. Which one? Where's the one where you get lock?

02:34:55.460 --> 02:34:58.460
You like jump off the airship and you have to have two parties

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.

02:35:01.460 --> 02:35:04.460
Oh, that's a tough dungeon. Dang, dude.

02:35:04.460 --> 02:35:07.460
Did you run into the legendary dragon in there? Yeah. Did that thing kick your butt?

02:35:07.460 --> 02:35:13.460
Yeah. Cool. I saw it and was like, time to save because like I, you know,

02:35:13.460 --> 02:35:17.460
at this point in the game, I'm healing through spells more often

02:35:17.460 --> 02:35:20.460
than I'm healing through potions and stuff. I hope so.

02:35:20.460 --> 02:35:25.460
But I was like almost out of potions because I was almost out of mana.

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.

02:35:28.460 --> 02:35:31.460
So they're my like heal bots. Oh, interesting.

02:35:31.460 --> 02:35:34.460
Okay. Well, there's characters that are built to be physical.

02:35:34.460 --> 02:35:38.460
So they will be my heal bots. So I'll drain their mana healing people.

02:35:38.460 --> 02:35:42.460
They're all like out at this point because I keep getting lost.

02:35:42.460 --> 02:35:50.460
So then I end up fighting like a trillion battles and you just get worn down.

02:35:50.460 --> 02:35:53.460
And then I, yeah, I see that dragon. I'm like, dear God.

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.

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,

02:36:06.460 --> 02:36:09.460
I'm going to have to fight whatever thing lock is fighting.

02:36:09.460 --> 02:36:12.460
And then no, not actually, I guess. Have you beat the cultists tower yet?

02:36:12.460 --> 02:36:19.460
No. Cool. But I have everyone.

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.

02:36:22.460 --> 02:36:25.460
Because the, yeah, he's just standing in the front. Yeah.

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

02:36:30.460 --> 02:36:32.460
like, man, what's his name?

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.

02:36:39.460 --> 02:36:42.460
Oh yeah, Edgar. Yeah. That one's like pretty obvious.

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.

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

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.

02:36:55.460 --> 02:36:58.460
Oh. So I'm playing an active at mine.

02:36:58.460 --> 02:37:01.460
Mine is set to active battle. So they don't wait.

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.

02:37:06.460 --> 02:37:09.460
And I literally wouldn't even get a turn. Yeah.

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.

02:37:13.460 --> 02:37:17.460
And poison is totally broken. So I wonder if we have the same thing.

02:37:17.460 --> 02:37:20.460
Yeah. Poison is completely broken in the remake as far as I can tell.

02:37:20.460 --> 02:37:23.460
Poison is like by far the scariest thing ever.

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.

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.

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.

02:37:34.460 --> 02:37:38.460
Yeah. I was like, why is that like full HP?

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.

02:37:45.460 --> 02:37:48.460
And I was pretty dedicated to getting the whole party.

02:37:48.460 --> 02:37:51.460
I was also pretty dedicated to like every dot on the map.

02:37:51.460 --> 02:37:54.460
I noticed it would be small until you found it.

02:37:54.460 --> 02:37:59.460
But sometimes usually it's pretty obvious the dot is a city.

02:37:59.460 --> 02:38:04.460
You walk into the city, the dot goes big, whatever.

02:38:04.460 --> 02:38:07.460
But I'm finding that sometimes I have to go back to cities multiple times.

02:38:07.460 --> 02:38:10.460
Like I went and got Mog, or what's the name?

02:38:10.460 --> 02:38:13.460
Mog, I think? Yeah, the Mughal. Yeah.

02:38:13.460 --> 02:38:17.460
But I didn't have lock yet. Nice.

02:38:17.460 --> 02:38:20.460
So then I had to go back because the doors were locked.

02:38:20.460 --> 02:38:25.460
It's pretty overtly obvious that you have to go back there once you get lock.

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

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?

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.

02:38:42.460 --> 02:38:45.460
Nice. But Steam having notes?

02:38:45.460 --> 02:38:49.460
Yeah. If I wasn't doing that this whole time, I would have been totally screwed.

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.

02:38:53.460 --> 02:38:56.460
So I'll just write it down. Nice.

02:38:56.460 --> 02:38:59.460
Yeah, that would help a lot actually. That's smart. It's been very helpful.

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

02:39:05.460 --> 02:39:11.460
Dune-inspired worms. I couldn't figure it out because again, the dot was small.

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,

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.

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?

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

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

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.

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

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.

02:39:48.460 --> 02:39:51.460
And one time he didn't do anything other than breathe my dudes in.

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.

02:39:55.460 --> 02:39:58.460
And then yeah, I went down with the guys that kick you off the platform.

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

02:40:01.460 --> 02:40:08.460
like behemoth monster on it that goes invisible and then just like, just trashes you.

02:40:08.460 --> 02:40:11.460
And I just assumed I was supposed to come back later and then.

02:40:11.460 --> 02:40:14.460
Yeah. So I have all my people.

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

02:40:26.460 --> 02:40:29.460
Esper. Which one did you take? Esper.

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

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.

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

02:40:47.460 --> 02:40:50.460
that much.

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

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

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

02:41:03.460 --> 02:41:07.460
will be. Yeah. So micromanaging that is like a full-time job basically.

02:41:07.460 --> 02:41:10.460
I, for some reason, I like it though. Oh yeah.

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

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

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.

02:41:33.960 --> 02:41:38.340
That makes sense. Velocet asks, has Loop talked about the music in the game yet?

02:41:38.340 --> 02:41:41.340
That's great. Yeah. That's really good.

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.

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

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.

02:42:01.260 --> 02:42:04.580
Like, give me more of the content. That's cool.

02:42:04.580 --> 02:42:11.300
But like, damn, anyways, it's artificially long.

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.

02:42:16.660 --> 02:42:20.180
Yeah. So, I was in China for a little bit.

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

02:42:25.100 --> 02:42:28.100
nobody there. It was weird. It was a very short trip.

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,

02:42:32.700 --> 02:42:39.140
which is like, they're basically attached, and there's lots of people.

02:42:39.140 --> 02:42:43.180
Pretty intense surveillance state, cameras everywhere, all that kind of stuff.

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

02:42:48.780 --> 02:42:51.780
that lets you out everywhere that you go to park.

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?

02:42:56.340 --> 02:42:59.340
Is it Strip Mall? Strip Mall. Yeah.

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.

02:43:02.340 --> 02:43:05.740
So, they're just tracking like everywhere you're going, 100%? Everywhere.

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

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.

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

02:43:22.540 --> 02:43:28.300
variety of things through WeChat Pay, which means that they pay with QR code scanning.

02:43:28.300 --> 02:43:31.420
So people are sitting there, shoving their phones out their window, trying to pay for

02:43:31.420 --> 02:43:34.580
this thing. It doesn't like automatically scan their license plate or anything.

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.

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...

02:43:43.500 --> 02:43:46.500
Send me the bill. Yeah. Have it automatically paid.

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

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.

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

02:44:00.380 --> 02:44:03.660
to get back in again. It's this whole thing. Everybody's honking at each other.

02:44:03.660 --> 02:44:06.660
Everybody's pissed off. Crazy.

02:44:06.660 --> 02:44:10.660
It seems just insane. I don't know how that hasn't been solved.

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.

02:44:16.020 --> 02:44:19.140
And then my other note here is China standing still.

02:44:19.140 --> 02:44:23.620
That was wild. So I went to different manufacturers.

02:44:23.620 --> 02:44:28.660
I also went to an entire facility that just does testing.

02:44:29.100 --> 02:44:32.260
The only thing they do is testing and verification.

02:44:32.260 --> 02:44:37.540
They're more on the... That's mean.

02:44:37.540 --> 02:44:42.260
That's a rude term. Don't call people moron.

02:44:42.260 --> 02:44:48.900
And if you're going to do it, you should be grammatically correct because otherwise

02:44:48.900 --> 02:44:51.900
they're going to be all uno reverse. That's true.

02:44:51.900 --> 02:44:55.140
That's valid. But no, they... I'm valid.

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.

02:45:04.460 --> 02:45:07.460
Oh, sure. Yeah. Okay.

02:45:07.460 --> 02:45:10.460
Cool. They weren't similar to the lab. Right.

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

02:45:20.540 --> 02:45:26.700
that was at or above 50% of its potential capacity.

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,

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.

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

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

02:45:57.180 --> 02:46:01.380
to keep making this thing.

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,

02:46:06.900 --> 02:46:10.060
yep, over 50% reduction.

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

02:46:14.580 --> 02:46:20.940
been... I think they were saying like most companies have had around a 10% layoff already.

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.

02:46:26.820 --> 02:46:30.460
So even if they weren't laid off, they're not getting overtime right now.

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

02:46:36.780 --> 02:46:44.300
seen videos of like Chinese factories pumping people everywhere, stuff moving really fast

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

02:46:52.260 --> 02:46:55.940
the lines full. And it was like, ooh.

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

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...

02:47:04.860 --> 02:47:08.620
Trump doubled steel tariffs into the US from 25 to 50%.

02:47:08.620 --> 02:47:11.860
I'm not sure. I don't know about this one. Yeah.

02:47:12.580 --> 02:47:17.580
It's going to be... The economy is going to be spicy, folks.

02:47:17.580 --> 02:47:18.580
Yeah.

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

02:47:24.780 --> 02:47:27.900
everything is denominated in USD.

02:47:27.900 --> 02:47:31.020
Even if you're like, oh yeah, I'll buy gold.

02:47:31.020 --> 02:47:38.580
The value of gold is determined not by chickens or eggs or cows or whatever.

02:47:38.580 --> 02:47:42.740
We don't live in a barter system. We're not denominated by gold.

02:47:42.740 --> 02:47:48.660
So the value of gold still gets dragged down by fiat currency.

02:47:48.660 --> 02:47:58.500
So it's like, okay, you just have to kind of, yeah, good luck, everybody.

02:47:58.500 --> 02:47:59.500
Yeah.

02:48:02.500 --> 02:48:05.820
But Dan says you can't buy gold with gold. Thanks, Dan.

02:48:05.940 --> 02:48:15.500
We were a Canadian company visiting China, I was going to say a Chinese country, China.

02:48:15.500 --> 02:48:18.980
Well, there's a couple depending who you ask.

02:48:18.980 --> 02:48:25.900
Yeah, fair enough. All the discussions in regards to price were in USD.

02:48:25.900 --> 02:48:28.900
Yeah. Oh yeah. Hundo P.

02:48:28.900 --> 02:48:33.620
Like nobody involved in these conversations were American and the prices were being discussed

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.

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

02:48:45.660 --> 02:48:49.460
that make it so that we can't maintain the same pricing in the US.

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

02:48:55.020 --> 02:48:58.020
can.

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

02:49:06.060 --> 02:49:09.780
the good stuff that we have going on right now. We have new T-shirt colors.

02:49:09.780 --> 02:49:13.260
Man, these look good. We've got forest. We've got chocolate.

02:49:13.260 --> 02:49:19.460
We've got sky. Awesome. We've also got blank hoodies available in black and brick.

02:49:19.460 --> 02:49:23.420
And of course, we have our mystery deals that are running this weekend.

02:49:23.420 --> 02:49:30.260
Mystery T-shirts for, okay, I'm going to try and get this right.

02:49:30.260 --> 02:49:33.260
Oh, no. Oh, no. I can't.

02:49:33.260 --> 02:49:36.260
Okay. Global. What?

02:49:36.260 --> 02:49:39.260
What's going on? There we go. Okay.

02:49:39.260 --> 02:49:42.260
Yeah. Yeah. I want to be in both of them at the same time.

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,

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

02:49:56.500 --> 02:50:01.500
screwdriver. That'll be either the knock to a tan or knock to a brown edition.

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.

02:50:05.540 --> 02:50:11.260
All right, Dan, I think it's time for After Dark.

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.

02:50:15.260 --> 02:50:18.620
I'm going to go home and have pierogies. Oh, that was another thing.

02:50:18.620 --> 02:50:21.620
Sorry. Yeah. What does that have to do with pierogies?

02:50:21.620 --> 02:50:24.620
Literally nothing. Okay. I want pierogies.

02:50:24.620 --> 02:50:29.820
Oh, blueberry pierogies. It's basically like blueberry pie, but a pierogi.

02:50:29.820 --> 02:50:33.500
Does that have like cream cheese in it? No. Just blueberries.

02:50:33.500 --> 02:50:36.500
Would you put cream cheese with it? Imagine so. Because you have sour cream.

02:50:36.500 --> 02:50:39.620
I wouldn't eat sour cream with a blueberry pierogi, but no, you could.

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.

02:50:43.940 --> 02:50:46.940
He said cream cheese. I know. Okay.

02:50:46.940 --> 02:50:49.940
He also mentioned sour cream. I did. But not in the...

02:50:49.940 --> 02:50:52.940
Luke, pay attention. Yeah, Luke, pay attention. I'm getting backstabbed.

02:50:52.940 --> 02:50:55.940
Anyways. You're on my side. Quite literally.

02:50:55.940 --> 02:50:58.940
He's over there. We're here. Oh, my God.

02:50:58.940 --> 02:51:01.940
Welcome to After Dark, everybody.

02:51:01.940 --> 02:51:06.340
Another thing is like, you don't want those jobs, man.

02:51:06.340 --> 02:51:09.940
Oh, the manufacturing, like assembly line jobs.

02:51:10.940 --> 02:51:15.940
You see videos of it. Seeing it in person is so much worse.

02:51:15.940 --> 02:51:24.940
Like literally somebody had a stick and they just went...

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

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

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.

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

02:51:54.620 --> 02:52:01.380
was basically me just saying, hey, the reality of it is the unemployment numbers in North

02:52:01.380 --> 02:52:06.900
America, not just the United States, the unemployment numbers in North America simply

02:52:06.900 --> 02:52:14.300
would not support reshoring these manufacturing jobs, even if every single unemployed person

02:52:14.300 --> 02:52:21.660
suddenly got up and went and sat down at a station on an assembly line.

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

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.

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

02:52:38.420 --> 02:52:42.780
jobs. These are not good jobs.

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.

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

02:52:55.820 --> 02:52:59.740
domestic manufacturing. Oh, we need some. We very likely need more than we have.

02:52:59.740 --> 02:53:03.500
The fact that China is trying to take over automotive manufacturing.

02:53:03.900 --> 02:53:11.700
Globally is like actually something that Europe and North America and I'm not just

02:53:12.700 --> 02:53:16.540
sorry, not present. Does South America have like domestic automotive manufacturing?

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

02:53:21.500 --> 02:53:23.500
like domestic manufacturers?

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.

02:53:33.900 --> 02:53:36.900
Yo, not cool. Not good.

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.

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

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

02:53:55.380 --> 02:54:02.380
right now, you should probably have drone manufacturing at pretty significant output

02:54:02.420 --> 02:54:05.900
if you are a country at all and wish to continue being one.

02:54:07.540 --> 02:54:09.740
The other thing is you're talking about automotive, dude.

02:54:10.780 --> 02:54:16.220
Damn, that was immediately super apparent when we were there immediately.

02:54:16.260 --> 02:54:20.940
There was a ton of car brands that I had genuinely never heard of.

02:54:21.220 --> 02:54:25.780
And I'm not I'm not talking Xiaomi and BYD and stuff like that.

02:54:25.900 --> 02:54:29.340
Oh, I'm talking so many that I had never heard of.

02:54:29.460 --> 02:54:31.900
We went past a what did they call it?

02:54:33.140 --> 02:54:38.060
Advanced Electric Automotive Plaza or something.

02:54:38.500 --> 02:54:45.620
It was this like enormous mall that was just electric cars.

02:54:46.700 --> 02:54:50.180
From more than 50 percent of the brands I've never heard of.

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

02:54:59.700 --> 02:55:05.060
modern European and American cars. Yep. But they are from a crap ton of brands.

02:55:05.060 --> 02:55:08.420
I wrote in cars that I have never heard of the brand before.

02:55:09.220 --> 02:55:12.380
Vela set asks, are manufacturing jobs usually union?

02:55:14.100 --> 02:55:17.180
So here's the thing.

02:55:17.180 --> 02:55:20.060
In some cases, you know, yes.

02:55:20.380 --> 02:55:27.060
But the low cost manufacturing that is being on short, the quiet part

02:55:27.340 --> 02:55:34.220
that the people working on this endeavor are not saying out loud is that the jobs

02:55:34.220 --> 02:55:40.660
they're bringing on shore are not sustainable at like union salaries, union benefits.

02:55:42.060 --> 02:55:46.340
With the way the demographics are going, I don't know that the American dream

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

02:55:55.740 --> 02:56:01.140
glut of resources and human manpower to

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

02:56:09.100 --> 02:56:14.460
by another generation of people. I. I don't know what to tell you.

02:56:14.500 --> 02:56:18.220
The whole idea of a single income like the Simpsons, dude.

02:56:18.460 --> 02:56:22.820
Yeah, Homer, Homer barely didn't know, didn't graduate high school,

02:56:23.060 --> 02:56:28.100
but was a realistic character in the late 80s with a detached home,

02:56:29.300 --> 02:56:34.020
a car, two kids. That's not that's not real.

02:56:35.700 --> 02:56:39.380
Yeah, I mean, there's also a lot of like you look at, no, man,

02:56:39.380 --> 02:56:46.820
now we are getting political. There are policies and inflection points in the states.

02:56:47.660 --> 02:56:51.140
Yeah, Dead Antisocial says now it's Bob's Burgers.

02:56:51.140 --> 02:56:55.140
That's honestly what I like so much about Bob's Burgers. I love that show.

02:56:55.140 --> 02:56:58.140
They do such a great job occasionally.

02:56:58.140 --> 02:57:02.940
Three kids, yeah. Occasionally they they do storylines that and I might even enjoy them.

02:57:02.940 --> 02:57:06.820
Occasionally they do storylines that are not grounded in the reality of,

02:57:06.820 --> 02:57:10.620
you know, what it's like for a low income family like that.

02:57:10.620 --> 02:57:14.700
Like there's an episode where they join like a go-karting league and the way

02:57:14.780 --> 02:57:18.980
they kind of dance their way around it is that the connection that they have

02:57:18.980 --> 02:57:23.580
with a local motorcycle gang allows them to get their hands on a free cart.

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.

02:57:27.780 --> 02:57:29.940
These kids cannot afford to do that activity.

02:57:31.940 --> 02:57:35.540
But yeah, you know, whatever, generally speaking, they make the problems

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

02:57:42.940 --> 02:57:48.500
not allowing it to bloat, not allowing, not not feeling pressured

02:57:48.500 --> 02:57:52.340
to do something bigger and bigger and bigger every season,

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.

02:57:57.340 --> 02:58:01.140
You know, Bob and the kids don't need to go to New York

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.

02:58:06.340 --> 02:58:10.540
They can just, you know, hang out at Wonder Wharf,

02:58:12.340 --> 02:58:15.980
you know, not being able to necessarily afford to even ride all the rides.

02:58:15.980 --> 02:58:16.980
It's cool. It's awesome.

02:58:20.740 --> 02:58:25.980
Yeah, Raiden 428 is saying schools are turning out turning out kids that

02:58:25.980 --> 02:58:29.540
I'm editing this slightly that aren't worth minimum wage on short manufacturing.

02:58:29.540 --> 02:58:33.380
We'll have to be automated, right? It has to be. It's hard.

02:58:33.380 --> 02:58:36.780
It's really hard. It's really hard. It's hard.

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?

02:58:45.100 --> 02:58:49.780
And why would they give it to you? Things are going to be really interesting.

02:58:49.780 --> 02:58:54.420
Yeah. As like not a world power, really.

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

02:59:00.100 --> 02:59:02.900
for my patriotic Canadians out there.

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?

02:59:08.300 --> 02:59:14.700
Yeah. We're like our era of dominance is over, especially at goalies.

02:59:14.700 --> 02:59:17.500
No one can afford to be a goalie anymore. Yeah.

02:59:19.500 --> 02:59:22.500
It started with Tim Horne. Goalie use insanely. Yeah.

02:59:22.500 --> 02:59:25.500
It's been the downfall for us. That's a downfall for us. Yep.

02:59:25.500 --> 02:59:30.500
That was our Rome moment. Jack Layton and Tim Horne's those two bomb.

02:59:30.500 --> 02:59:33.500
Oh, dude. Oh, dude.

02:59:33.500 --> 02:59:37.500
Oh, dude. The Canadians in chat are all like, yeah, can't afford to play hockey.

02:59:37.500 --> 02:59:40.500
There's no more ice. Yeah.

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.

02:59:49.500 --> 02:59:53.500
And I was like, this was when I was still shopping for badminton center.

02:59:53.500 --> 02:59:57.500
And I was like, okay, I had kind of given up on finding a facility.

02:59:57.500 --> 03:00:00.500
And I was like, gee, I wonder what like planet ice would cost.

03:00:00.500 --> 03:00:04.500
Maybe I could because obviously it's zoned correctly for recreational sport.

03:00:04.500 --> 03:00:10.500
Like, like could I, uh, you know, do badminton there instead or like something near there.

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.

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,

03:00:23.500 --> 03:00:27.500
hundreds of dollars an hour for ice time, because the hockey rink is so big.

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.

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.

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.

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.

03:00:59.500 --> 03:01:03.500
Like, um, like in Surrey, and this is a fast growing city.

03:01:03.500 --> 03:01:08.500
We are woefully under resourced for like community centers.

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.

03:01:12.500 --> 03:01:17.500
And I totally get it because where is this freaking money supposed to come from?

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.

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.

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.

03:01:47.500 --> 03:01:51.500
They had all the gear, they did, they did goalie training, they did coaching, they did.

03:01:51.500 --> 03:01:56.500
And I'm looking at it now and I'm going, there is single income.

03:01:56.500 --> 03:02:01.500
There is no way today that that family lives in a detached home.

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.

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.

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?

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.

03:02:35.500 --> 03:02:38.500
So this is a depressing show. I want to do some merch messages.

03:02:41.500 --> 03:02:45.500
Why not? Let's see if they get better.

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?

03:02:53.500 --> 03:02:55.500
Dan, that's not a merch message.

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?

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.

03:03:12.500 --> 03:03:15.500
Is there a specific, yeah, is there a specific point where we would do it again?

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.

03:03:26.500 --> 03:03:29.500
So are we still waiting for that? I don't think we have to.

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.

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.

03:03:40.500 --> 03:03:43.500
So yeah, maybe, maybe we're not waiting for anything. Maybe it's time.

03:03:44.500 --> 03:03:47.500
Are we just both doing SteamOS then? No.

03:03:47.500 --> 03:03:50.500
Okay, yeah, yeah. But I would go SteamOS. Yeah.

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.

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.

03:04:02.500 --> 03:04:05.500
That's what I'm doing. Straight to SteamOS.

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.

03:04:13.500 --> 03:04:17.500
Remember Intel Veev or Vive or whatever and Windows Media Center Edition?

03:04:17.500 --> 03:04:19.500
Windows Media Center Edition. They like, so good.

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,

03:04:27.500 --> 03:04:31.500
entertainment on the PC was like poised to be a thing.

03:04:32.500 --> 03:04:35.500
Eat a dick, Comcast and friends.

03:04:35.500 --> 03:04:38.500
All right, what else we got? Hello the face, the laugh and the heart.

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?

03:04:46.500 --> 03:04:48.500
Hopefully avoiding the common trap.

03:04:49.500 --> 03:04:50.500
Yeah.

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?

03:05:00.500 --> 03:05:04.500
I think a little bit, but they're not tall longer.

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.

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.

03:05:21.500 --> 03:05:24.500
So our poor support team has been kind of buried.

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.

03:05:31.500 --> 03:05:35.500
The thing you guys need to understand is our customer support is on shore.

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.

03:05:47.500 --> 03:05:52.500
Oh, like, so we have onboarding. We have hiring, onboarding, training.

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.

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.

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.

03:06:12.500 --> 03:06:15.500
Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, we...

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.

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?

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.

03:06:34.500 --> 03:06:38.500
Practice. I thought you meant info dumping like to your friends.

03:06:38.500 --> 03:06:41.500
Yeah. That's why I said don't. Practice.

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.

03:06:48.500 --> 03:06:51.500
Watch their body language. When they start to...

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.

03:06:59.500 --> 03:07:03.500
Like time sync your recordings and record yourself and record them.

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...

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.

03:07:17.500 --> 03:07:21.500
Yeah. If there's a crowd, even if it's three people.

03:07:22.500 --> 03:07:24.500
Well, three is a crowd. Yeah.

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.

03:07:30.500 --> 03:07:34.500
Oh boy. Nah, just spending too much time on our slash wall street pets.

03:07:34.500 --> 03:07:37.500
Got it. Strong.

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.

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.

03:07:49.500 --> 03:07:52.500
Yes, I am old enough to remember the show Three's Company.

03:07:52.500 --> 03:07:56.500
Not because I was actually around when it was airing, but because...

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.

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.

03:08:09.500 --> 03:08:13.500
They're so good. Like so good, especially I Love Lucy.

03:08:13.500 --> 03:08:15.500
Lucille Ball is a pioneer.

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?

03:08:25.500 --> 03:08:28.500
No. Nice.

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.

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.

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,

03:08:45.500 --> 03:08:49.500
which is weird because I ain't trying to do anything that complicated.

03:08:49.500 --> 03:08:52.500
And to be clear, I'm not running HexOS right now.

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.

03:09:01.500 --> 03:09:05.500
And then we just configured everything in true now's, but then I've updated HexOS.

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.

03:09:13.500 --> 03:09:17.500
It's a whole thing. My experience should not be the same as anyone else's.

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?

03:09:25.500 --> 03:09:29.500
Some of them, yeah. Some will just have to scrape, right?

03:09:29.500 --> 03:09:32.500
I mean, we would never scrape. That's bad.

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.

03:09:36.500 --> 03:09:39.500
So thanks. Good job. Good meeting.

03:09:41.500 --> 03:09:42.500
Verbal irony.

03:09:44.500 --> 03:09:47.500
I think the stance was going to be that... We would never scrape.

03:09:47.500 --> 03:09:51.500
If... Yeah. Unless we were forced to.

03:09:51.500 --> 03:09:59.500
Yeah. I think the line is basically going to be if a company is overtly like,

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.

03:10:03.500 --> 03:10:06.500
Like I know of one that...

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

03:10:35.500 --> 03:10:38.500
And we can be like, hey, we can just do it.

03:10:38.500 --> 03:10:41.500
And if they're like, sure, then we be scraping.

03:10:41.500 --> 03:10:45.500
That's the current, I think, makes sense stance that I was going to take.

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,

03:10:50.500 --> 03:10:53.500
but we just like used that. We just used their data.

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.

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.

03:11:10.500 --> 03:11:13.500
So I think I don't care that much anymore.

03:11:13.500 --> 03:11:16.500
Oh, yeah. But we would never scrape. I cared a lot in the past.

03:11:16.500 --> 03:11:18.500
Yeah. We would never do that.

03:11:20.500 --> 03:11:26.500
But if like the data was like there just on the web page.

03:11:27.500 --> 03:11:30.500
Like if it was on our site, like it wouldn't be because we scraped it.

03:11:30.500 --> 03:11:35.500
Right. Right. We're just using a publicly available list from someone else.

03:11:35.500 --> 03:11:38.500
Yeah, maybe. I don't know. Right.

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.

03:11:41.500 --> 03:11:44.500
Okay. Yeah. Got it.

03:11:44.500 --> 03:11:47.500
Personally, you would never be the one to copy and paste. No.

03:11:47.500 --> 03:11:50.500
Linus is not going to go to his monitor with a squeegee. No, I wouldn't.

03:11:50.500 --> 03:11:53.500
Yeah, he wouldn't do that. I wouldn't do that. My monitors are filthy.

03:11:53.500 --> 03:11:56.500
Yeah. Look at this display. It's disgusting.

03:11:56.500 --> 03:11:59.500
It's actually gross. Yeah. See?

03:11:59.500 --> 03:12:02.500
There you go. Hold on. Oh, yeah.

03:12:02.500 --> 03:12:05.500
Wait. Oh, Dan. It's even worse.

03:12:05.500 --> 03:12:08.500
There you go. So gross. See?

03:12:08.500 --> 03:12:11.500
I wouldn't scrape. Nope. Never.

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

03:12:17.260 --> 03:12:20.500
to their website, I mean.

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.

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

03:12:30.540 --> 03:12:37.860
they don't know the price of the product? So that's pretty asinine.

03:12:37.860 --> 03:12:40.860
Cool.

03:12:40.860 --> 03:12:45.180
Cool. Is it Best Buy? I'm not answering who it is.

03:12:45.180 --> 03:12:48.180
Oh, yeah. We're not going to be answering who it is. Yeah.

03:12:48.180 --> 03:12:51.580
We're just going to have pricing information probably obtained from some third party who

03:12:52.580 --> 03:12:56.180
I don't know where they got it. Who knows?

03:12:56.180 --> 03:12:59.180
Who knows? Who knows even who they are? I don't know who they are.

03:12:59.180 --> 03:13:02.180
I don't know. Next one.

03:13:02.180 --> 03:13:07.580
Linus. Have you watched the ANO 117 trailer?

03:13:07.580 --> 03:13:15.500
It looks like they may be bringing back land combat like we had in 1602.

03:13:15.500 --> 03:13:19.700
I haven't yet. 11 days ago.

03:13:19.700 --> 03:13:22.820
Ooh. What's like new? New.

03:13:22.820 --> 03:13:26.620
I didn't even know this happened.

03:13:26.620 --> 03:13:30.460
You wish to be a Roman governor. That's a cool.

03:13:30.460 --> 03:13:33.460
Fish and grids, boost productivity. Yep.

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

03:13:38.980 --> 03:13:42.300
like, okay, done.

03:13:42.300 --> 03:13:46.940
You have one day easy.

03:13:46.940 --> 03:13:50.800
Build your lumber camps wisely. All right.

03:13:50.800 --> 03:13:54.180
Yeah. I mean, yeah, this, ooh, this looks like ANO all right.

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.

03:14:00.780 --> 03:14:03.860
I'm not complaining about that to be clear.

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.

03:14:07.500 --> 03:14:10.500
Things are. Ooh. You like that?

03:14:10.500 --> 03:14:13.500
You saw like cargo ship? Oh. Trade and alliances.

03:14:13.500 --> 03:14:16.500
Can build. Okay.

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.

03:14:21.500 --> 03:14:24.500
Hmm. Trade and treachery.

03:14:24.500 --> 03:14:30.500
Yeah. Well, I don't, I don't see anything like that yet.

03:14:30.500 --> 03:14:33.500
Whoa. Build a Colosseum. Let's go.

03:14:33.500 --> 03:14:39.500
For your robot. I'll play it.

03:14:39.500 --> 03:14:42.500
Yeah. Of course. Is this going to play that?

03:14:42.500 --> 03:14:45.500
Yeah. I didn't even do this. I scrolled down.

03:14:45.500 --> 03:14:48.500
How often do you think about the Roman Empire? Anno players?

03:14:48.500 --> 03:14:53.500
Yes. It's, it's, it's, it's the meme dude.

03:14:53.500 --> 03:14:56.500
Wait. Land. Yeah.

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?

03:15:01.500 --> 03:15:04.500
Might have skipped through it.

03:15:04.500 --> 03:15:07.500
Nobody timestamped it. Come on.

03:15:07.500 --> 03:15:11.500
Yeah. Just YouTube commenters timestamp more.

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.

03:15:15.500 --> 03:15:21.500
What? Where? People don't scroll in that much.

03:15:21.500 --> 03:15:24.500
That's how you know this is in-game footage.

03:15:24.500 --> 03:15:27.500
Oh yeah. True. Yeah.

03:15:27.500 --> 03:15:30.500
It's, it's AI. It's all just fake.

03:15:30.500 --> 03:15:34.500
Is that five minutes apparently? Five minutes.

03:15:34.500 --> 03:15:37.500
How'd I miss that? Yeah.

03:15:37.500 --> 03:15:40.500
You were right there, right? Yeah. I thought so.

03:15:40.500 --> 03:15:43.500
That doesn't indicate anything, by the way. Yeah.

03:15:43.500 --> 03:15:46.500
This might, that sure did actually. Oh, okay.

03:15:46.500 --> 03:15:49.500
Land and naval combat maybe. Interesting.

03:15:49.500 --> 03:15:52.500
Wow. They show it for half a second maybe.

03:15:52.500 --> 03:15:55.500
Surprise. All right. Cool.

03:15:55.500 --> 03:15:58.500
More? Yeah. Hit me.

03:15:58.500 --> 03:16:02.500
Hey DLL. How do creators cover the significant hours and costs to get to Computex?

03:16:02.500 --> 03:16:07.500
Are most on comp flights and hotel or chancing that views plus sponsor will cover it?

03:16:07.500 --> 03:16:10.500
It seems like a significant outlay. Very significantly.

03:16:10.500 --> 03:16:15.500
So what we do is we sell sponsorships for the videos ahead of time.

03:16:15.500 --> 03:16:18.500
We get in touch with as many brands as we're able to.

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,

03:16:22.500 --> 03:16:29.500
which is, I understand, you know, their perspective, but also it is supremely unhelpful when we

03:16:29.500 --> 03:16:38.500
are trying to manage, like you said, the hours and cost that the show entails.

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.

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

03:16:51.340 --> 03:16:54.440
this year. Not great.

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.

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

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

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.

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

03:17:25.740 --> 03:17:29.380
top of, you know, the cost of being in Taipei.

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

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,

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

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

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

03:18:00.500 --> 03:18:03.940
a different amount of people going.

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.

03:18:09.300 --> 03:18:14.260
Yeah. I mean, if it's anything like this year, I think you'd have to.

03:18:14.260 --> 03:18:17.980
Oh yeah. It was so slow this year. Content is not there.

03:18:17.980 --> 03:18:24.860
Two GPUs that nobody wants and then a processor that nobody can afford.

03:18:24.860 --> 03:18:28.180
And that was from, that was what the A players had.

03:18:28.180 --> 03:18:32.380
Yeah. Cool. And everybody else didn't have much.

03:18:32.380 --> 03:18:36.060
Yeah. Everybody on it, make no other changes.

03:18:36.060 --> 03:18:41.420
Slap a screen on it. Make no other changes. And a bigger one.

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.

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.

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

03:18:52.380 --> 03:18:55.980
be like, oh, that's pretty cool. You put your Nyan cat on there or whatever.

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

03:19:01.540 --> 03:19:04.860
like a technical standpoint. That's all.

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?

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

03:19:21.860 --> 03:19:24.860
soda. Oh. Yeah.

03:19:24.860 --> 03:19:29.500
If I crave something, something ice cold and carbonated, then instead of grabbing a

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.

03:19:36.580 --> 03:19:40.780
Well, I can drink it, but it sucks. Well, I shouldn't say it sucks.

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.

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

03:19:54.860 --> 03:19:57.860
Coke in the fridge because most people will drink cola.

03:19:58.620 --> 03:20:03.900
Oh, no, my weakness is Nes tea or like sweetened iced tea.

03:20:03.900 --> 03:20:06.900
So much sugar. Dude. I would go to a red robin.

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

03:20:13.020 --> 03:20:18.700
the span of like sitting there and conversing in appetizers and meal and afterwards and

03:20:18.700 --> 03:20:21.700
stuff. Like, oh, so bad. Speaking of...

03:20:21.700 --> 03:20:25.140
Like actually a week's worth of calories. Really bad vices.

03:20:25.140 --> 03:20:31.380
That was another thing that I struggled with in China, just more personally.

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

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

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.

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

03:20:53.900 --> 03:20:56.900
smoke. I was like... Well, you're not used to it.

03:20:56.900 --> 03:21:02.420
Out of it the whole time. Yeah. Because I had secondhand smoke every single day.

03:21:02.420 --> 03:21:07.140
Yeah. You're going to have to burn your clothes.

03:21:07.140 --> 03:21:10.300
Did you come back smelling like it?

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

03:21:18.260 --> 03:21:20.620
was just traveling.

03:21:21.540 --> 03:21:26.260
More. I've been looking to get a framework laptop for a few years now.

03:21:26.260 --> 03:21:30.700
Do you still carry a framework around? Will you do a review of the Framework 12?

03:21:30.700 --> 03:21:34.140
Also as a PC Linux gamer, it's been seamless.

03:21:34.140 --> 03:21:37.340
That's good to know. I haven't been on my framework recently.

03:21:37.340 --> 03:21:41.260
I've been on my... Investment disclosure. Investment disclosure.

03:21:41.260 --> 03:21:45.700
I've been on my Flow X13. I like that it has the eGPU.

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.

03:21:53.060 --> 03:21:57.500
It has a good keyboard. Battery life could be better.

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.

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?

03:22:07.380 --> 03:22:12.260
Why is it freaking out? It just does that. I also can't change my brightness.

03:22:12.260 --> 03:22:16.060
I'm probably going to move off of this thing soon. I can't...

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.

03:22:21.300 --> 03:22:26.500
You could get a Dell. That it just gave up and... Dude, honestly, like...

03:22:26.500 --> 03:22:30.180
These WAN laptops have been the best laptops I've used in a long time.

03:22:30.180 --> 03:22:33.380
Just kind of bulletproof. Matt's screen, super light.

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...

03:22:40.860 --> 03:22:45.980
Really good. I don't know, man. Only one secret shopper.

03:22:45.980 --> 03:22:51.500
Huge upset victory. I'm still not quite sure how it happened.

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.

03:22:55.500 --> 03:23:00.500
Everyone else lost. Yeah. That's the vibe I've been getting so far watching through.

03:23:00.500 --> 03:23:04.500
Yep. Crap, what was I going to say?

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.

03:23:07.500 --> 03:23:10.620
All right. Hey, thanks, Jay Thomas.

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

03:23:15.780 --> 03:23:19.380
and honestly not unreasonable compared to other US sites and products.

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.

03:23:22.700 --> 03:23:25.700
Thank you. Thanks, man. We do our best.

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,

03:23:29.460 --> 03:23:33.100
but didn't want to financially support them that much, just wanted to give an incredible

03:23:33.100 --> 03:23:37.020
amount of free advertising and have a justified reason for doing so, you could just invest

03:23:37.020 --> 03:23:43.700
like five bucks and then just investment disclosure it constantly.

03:23:43.700 --> 03:23:47.020
It's a good move. If it will work around.

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?

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

03:23:59.780 --> 03:24:06.260
MSI and everyone, then does it, do they cancel each other out?

03:24:07.100 --> 03:24:11.140
I wonder, because if you were like...

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.

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

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.

03:24:23.980 --> 03:24:27.620
Yeah, that's right.

03:24:27.620 --> 03:24:34.060
But you would still have an interest in that company doing better.

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,

03:24:41.940 --> 03:24:51.220
I legitimately don't know. I think we do own some stock pools like that.

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.

03:24:56.020 --> 03:24:59.660
You don't get a choice most of the time to buy yourself.

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

03:25:04.060 --> 03:25:09.140
it when talking about it or its competitors, can you get in trouble?

03:25:09.140 --> 03:25:12.140
I don't know. Oh, I'm sure you could.

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

03:25:23.060 --> 03:25:28.020
in Dell. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely, yeah, like as a spouse.

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

03:25:36.820 --> 03:25:40.620
of like, what would the enforcement of that even look like? Yeah, practically nothing.

03:25:40.620 --> 03:25:48.740
What are the odds? Yeah. I mean, we know about a lot of this stuff.

03:25:48.740 --> 03:25:53.540
We've received the emails that were accidentally sent to us instead of other people knowing

03:25:53.540 --> 03:25:58.980
that these people are doing deals. We know, like, I don't know, it's a...

03:25:58.980 --> 03:26:02.100
Oh, you're talking just like undisclosed like sponsorships and stuff?

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.

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.

03:26:17.140 --> 03:26:22.540
Anyway, this is for Luke with his new obsession with West Abuse.

03:26:22.540 --> 03:26:25.700
Have you seen or heard of cowboy action shooting?

03:26:25.740 --> 03:26:29.660
To participate, you are required to dress up and have a cowboy nickname.

03:26:29.660 --> 03:26:32.860
It's cosplay with a gun. Cow.

03:26:32.860 --> 03:26:36.060
Okay, what cowboy action?

03:26:36.060 --> 03:26:37.060
It's a competition.

03:26:45.860 --> 03:26:52.260
A little feathered cap going on. This is a family friendly sport.

03:26:52.260 --> 03:26:56.060
Real guns with live ammo. With robot. Dooley's.

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.

03:27:02.100 --> 03:27:05.540
Let's go. That's sick. It's fun.

03:27:05.540 --> 03:27:08.540
I used to do it. I don't know. It looks like it's probably fun.

03:27:08.540 --> 03:27:11.540
I have no idea. Why not? Sure.

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.

03:27:15.980 --> 03:27:19.700
Oh, yeah. Insomniac said it's three gun with old school cowboy air gear.

03:27:19.700 --> 03:27:23.100
Yeah, that makes sense. Oh, that's that's pretty cool. Actually.

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

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

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.

03:27:41.940 --> 03:27:46.460
I don't know, whatever.

03:27:46.460 --> 03:27:49.460
Let people have fun. There's so much darkness. Oh, yeah.

03:27:49.460 --> 03:27:53.340
Everybody's got to have their special little guy. Yeah.

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

03:27:59.300 --> 03:28:02.620
uncool to kids even if it's successful YouTuber?

03:28:02.620 --> 03:28:07.060
No, my job is definitely cool.

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,

03:28:13.620 --> 03:28:19.780
you know, overthinking almost everything about parenting and you know, try like legitimately

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

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

03:28:31.780 --> 03:28:37.140
their friends are over, I try not to insert myself into, you know, their gaming situation.

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

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

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

03:29:09.100 --> 03:29:12.420
dad when we're hosting a birthday party or whatever else.

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

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

03:29:24.540 --> 03:29:28.820
or whatever. Yeah, overall it's overall it's good.

03:29:28.820 --> 03:29:31.820
It's good. Yeah. Yeah.

03:29:32.180 --> 03:29:39.340
DLL, Phil major here, considering Gabe plus Elon's investment in brain chips, how augmented

03:29:39.340 --> 03:29:42.340
must humanity be to become inhuman?

03:29:42.340 --> 03:29:46.220
On the other end, how lacking must a human be to become inhuman?

03:29:46.220 --> 03:29:50.740
There's tons of arguments that were already augmented. Oh, I like that one too.

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

03:29:56.020 --> 03:29:59.020
to them. How dare you? So like.

03:29:59.380 --> 03:30:04.180
Linus doesn't get to use as well and have too fat. Is it being wireless?

03:30:04.180 --> 03:30:07.420
Does it really make that big of a difference? That's always been my argument.

03:30:07.420 --> 03:30:11.300
Yeah. It's in my hand. I leave my pocket to be honest.

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.

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

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

03:30:31.460 --> 03:30:38.660
you're hangry, it takes a pretty exceptional person I've observed to recognize that and

03:30:38.660 --> 03:30:46.100
rectify it like to have the self-awareness and the the presence of mind to recognize

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

03:30:54.180 --> 03:30:59.140
as rapidly as that is pretty unusual in people.

03:30:59.140 --> 03:31:07.540
And so to imagine what percentage of the population would recognize the slow, slow evolution

03:31:07.540 --> 03:31:12.420
into becoming more and more augmented and how that impacts their their manner of behavior

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.

03:31:19.540 --> 03:31:27.140
Here's a question. Yeah. If your body was failing, you're old, it's time.

03:31:27.140 --> 03:31:30.660
You're going to be saying goodbye to the mortal coil sometime soon.

03:31:31.300 --> 03:31:35.540
And you know that whole like freeze your brain thing?

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,

03:31:44.740 --> 03:31:47.060
it's brain jar and it works now.

03:31:48.020 --> 03:31:49.780
You can effectively be a computer.

03:31:51.620 --> 03:31:55.620
You transplant your brain from your dying body into a jar and yeah.

03:31:55.620 --> 03:31:59.140
I don't think my brain is important enough to preserve in that way.

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?

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.

03:32:09.540 --> 03:32:14.020
You could be there for your kids. I want my senses. I want to experience things.

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.

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.

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.

03:32:25.540 --> 03:32:28.660
This would be like a neural link, if you know what I mean.

03:32:28.660 --> 03:32:32.500
Okay. So hold on. What is it? So I have a mechanical body.

03:32:32.500 --> 03:32:35.540
Sure. I can sense things as I would.

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.

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.

03:32:45.700 --> 03:32:50.420
Like you might have like telescoping cameras and sort of eyes.

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?

03:32:57.540 --> 03:33:00.660
The question you should be asking is do all of them work?

03:33:01.300 --> 03:33:01.620
Okay.

03:33:06.580 --> 03:33:10.100
That's a good one. See, this is what transhumanism is great.

03:33:10.100 --> 03:33:13.540
I think the answer would be like, yes, but not the same.

03:33:13.540 --> 03:33:16.500
Everything's going to be a little bit different. One of my biggest...

03:33:18.580 --> 03:33:23.860
Okay. It's not like they aren't making big advancements in delaying aging,

03:33:23.860 --> 03:33:29.380
and potentially even reversing aging. There's been some really promising experiments on mice and stuff.

03:33:31.060 --> 03:33:33.940
And so it's something that I've thought about,

03:33:34.900 --> 03:33:40.100
because conceivably, if I were to keep earning at the rate that I am now,

03:33:40.100 --> 03:33:43.620
I could potentially afford an experimental anti-aging treatment

03:33:43.620 --> 03:33:46.420
once I reach the point where, yeah, I'm about to kick it.

03:33:47.620 --> 03:33:51.780
And there's a couple things that I've thought about that scenario.

03:33:52.500 --> 03:33:58.820
Like I think it'd be a really interesting sci-fi story where the people,

03:33:58.820 --> 03:34:02.740
the rich people who could afford anti-aging are mingled in

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...

03:34:09.860 --> 03:34:13.540
Are you actually 170 years old? Yeah, and so...

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.

03:34:18.420 --> 03:34:23.460
You have these old people that are trying to pass as young people

03:34:23.460 --> 03:34:28.100
and live there, in some cases, second or third or fourth or fifth.

03:34:28.660 --> 03:34:29.940
You know, lifetime.

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

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...

03:34:43.220 --> 03:34:48.660
Because I'm kind of imagining this world is sort of resource limited.

03:34:48.660 --> 03:34:54.180
And so most of the people being born today can't afford more than one life.

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.

03:34:58.580 --> 03:35:02.020
And like I thought about, okay, like, you know, what would be the markers

03:35:02.020 --> 03:35:07.620
that these ancient people would go to great lengths to conceal.

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.

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

03:35:21.220 --> 03:35:26.340
every five years or so so that they kind of match the state of their aging.

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.

03:35:30.340 --> 03:35:33.620
I think that'd be a really cool story that someone smarter than more creative

03:35:33.620 --> 03:35:37.300
than me could write. Like Blade Runner, but for boomers. Yeah, yeah.

03:35:37.300 --> 03:35:39.620
Boomer Runner. You're actually a boomer.

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,

03:35:47.380 --> 03:35:54.020
the heartbreaking story of the person who could afford to extend their own lifetime,

03:35:54.660 --> 03:35:58.820
but not their spouse and not their kids and what that life would be.

03:35:59.860 --> 03:36:02.900
Like, could I watch my children grow old and die?

03:36:04.020 --> 03:36:09.860
Absolutely not. I'd rather be dead. And so, and so, okay, right.

03:36:09.860 --> 03:36:13.140
So let's say I could afford my wife and kids.

03:36:13.140 --> 03:36:16.340
Would I be willing to watch my grandchildren grow old and die?

03:36:16.340 --> 03:36:20.100
Because once the family gets bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger,

03:36:20.100 --> 03:36:26.820
the resources required to continue to invest in these anti-aging treatments grows exponentially

03:36:26.820 --> 03:36:30.900
until at some point, you know, you run out.

03:36:30.900 --> 03:36:34.100
If you just worked a little harder 270 years ago,

03:36:35.860 --> 03:36:39.700
your investments would be stronger now. And now you could keep the third generation alive.

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?

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

03:36:51.540 --> 03:36:55.060
doesn't contain all the people that I grew old with?

03:36:55.060 --> 03:36:58.500
Because I mean, looking at some of the aging members of my family,

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

03:37:04.820 --> 03:37:08.500
that they ever formed a deep connection with leave them.

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?

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.

03:37:20.100 --> 03:37:24.180
A friend. It feels like you now have this friend.

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,

03:37:27.460 --> 03:37:28.900
what's your friend's name? They're like, I don't know.

03:37:31.060 --> 03:37:35.380
But like, this person is awesome and I want to, and now like.

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,

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?

03:37:44.900 --> 03:37:49.060
Are they into it? I'm like, what do we actually have in common?

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

03:37:53.620 --> 03:37:57.620
instead of just wanting to be friends. Especially for people like us.

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.

03:38:04.820 --> 03:38:09.220
Yeah, me too. That's dating in your 30s and 40s.

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

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.

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.

03:38:27.300 --> 03:38:32.340
Oh, sorry, man. I think it gets better a little bit better than now.

03:38:32.340 --> 03:38:36.980
No, you're quite right. There is that interesting low. There is that interesting low.

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?

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.

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.

03:38:49.140 --> 03:38:52.340
Yes, it really is. What about from a friend?

03:38:55.860 --> 03:38:57.300
Let me just buddy buddy up to you.

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

03:39:09.620 --> 03:39:12.580
to my sister's decision to take her own life, honestly.

03:39:15.860 --> 03:39:19.060
It's dark. She had a goal. Humans want companionship. Well, yeah.

03:39:22.100 --> 03:39:27.940
She wanted a life partner and it never happened.

03:39:27.940 --> 03:39:32.260
And I think that it was obviously it's a combination of factors.

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

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.

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

03:39:59.300 --> 03:40:04.420
ways to get fulfillment would not behave the same way.

03:40:04.420 --> 03:40:05.620
And I would certainly hope not.

03:40:07.700 --> 03:40:11.460
But I think that was a significant factor.

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,

03:40:21.140 --> 03:40:23.860
I feel like- The connections even. Yeah, 100%.

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,

03:40:30.660 --> 03:40:32.740
and that also applies to your partner.

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.

03:40:39.380 --> 03:40:43.540
I actually had some surprisingly long relationships when I was younger as well.

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,

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.

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.

03:41:10.020 --> 03:41:10.500
Oh, yeah.

03:41:13.060 --> 03:41:17.140
On so many levels too, because part of you is thinking about how you

03:41:21.220 --> 03:41:25.460
you can't recreate that. Dark24 says, get a dog.

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.

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.

03:41:37.700 --> 03:41:42.020
Which it's a little complicated.

03:41:42.020 --> 03:41:49.940
So Dash, our oldest cat, has been extremely aggressive with especially one of the new

03:41:49.940 --> 03:41:52.500
cats and she's been unhappy.

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

03:41:59.620 --> 03:42:02.740
give the other cats a bit of a break from the crinky old lady.

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,

03:42:08.020 --> 03:42:11.380
because she's always had animals, lovebirds for her thing.

03:42:12.100 --> 03:42:15.540
And then she had a rabbit before that, but she's never had a cat.

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.

03:42:20.260 --> 03:42:23.380
I was going to say it really does fit. Oh, yeah.

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.

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

03:42:31.940 --> 03:42:37.380
vacation and we were like, okay, can you take her again?

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.

03:42:44.260 --> 03:42:49.300
And instead we found out my aunt had actually arranged for my grandmother,

03:42:49.300 --> 03:42:53.940
or my step-grandmother, to take her for the couple of weeks.

03:42:53.940 --> 03:42:57.140
We were actually kind of like, oh, okay, it would have been,

03:42:57.140 --> 03:42:59.700
we actually kind of wanted her back for a bit because we miss her.

03:43:00.500 --> 03:43:04.980
But this was sort of what we kind of hoped might happen.

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.

03:43:11.940 --> 03:43:12.820
And she's like, no, we're good.

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

03:43:21.940 --> 03:43:25.860
so much attention and she wants to be an only cat.

03:43:26.980 --> 03:43:29.620
But where was I going with this? Oh, right, right, right.

03:43:30.340 --> 03:43:35.140
I think animal companionship is extremely healthy for people.

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,

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.

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.

03:44:01.540 --> 03:44:04.580
Oh yeah, Gremlin Injector says, I blame the downfall.

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.

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

03:44:16.180 --> 03:44:20.420
material and kicked them off. For real, that was the only app I used.

03:44:20.420 --> 03:44:22.820
Met my wife on eHarmony when it was amazing in 2011.

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

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.

03:44:37.860 --> 03:44:40.980
You could just not break it. Just an idea.

03:44:40.980 --> 03:44:45.780
I think I was on the verge, I was reading an article about someone who

03:44:45.780 --> 03:44:49.220
did a really, wrote a really good book about just sort of the

03:44:49.300 --> 03:44:53.860
enshrification of everything and how venture capital is basically just ruining

03:44:53.860 --> 03:44:57.940
absolutely everything. We're just watching it happen in real time.

03:44:57.940 --> 03:45:02.260
Everything from the medical industry to like the veterinary practices that I've talked about

03:45:02.260 --> 03:45:05.380
before that's happening locally. Yeah, I mean, they're all rough.

03:45:05.380 --> 03:45:14.580
Everything's rough. It's all rough. They really, I think it's just as important.

03:45:14.660 --> 03:45:19.700
I think it's just as important as them figuring out legislation for AI stuff,

03:45:20.500 --> 03:45:27.220
is they need to solve this. They need to get venture capital investment out of residential.

03:45:27.220 --> 03:45:30.340
That's something is horrifically wrong with that laptop.

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,

03:45:38.180 --> 03:45:39.540
effectively creating monopolies.

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.

03:45:46.180 --> 03:45:49.300
Yeah, like there are laws against this.

03:45:49.300 --> 03:45:53.540
Stop, like do something about it. It's literally ruining the world.

03:45:54.740 --> 03:45:56.660
All right, Dan, give us some good news.

03:45:58.100 --> 03:46:02.660
Hello, DLL, long time alcoholic, first time public urinator.

03:46:02.660 --> 03:46:06.660
The show writes itself. Linus, do you ever miss your folding phone?

03:46:06.660 --> 03:46:09.300
I got to fold six from work earlier this year.

03:46:10.020 --> 03:46:13.780
I have been loving it, especially for multitasking.

03:46:14.260 --> 03:46:17.460
I do miss it sometimes. I've been really unhappy with the Pixel 9a.

03:46:19.860 --> 03:46:22.900
I think a bug I didn't talk about last time I complained about it was

03:46:24.260 --> 03:46:25.700
the proximity sensor.

03:46:28.100 --> 03:46:31.380
It works great when I'm trying to pull down my notification shade,

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

03:46:36.180 --> 03:46:38.660
and my ear starts changing all of my quick settings.

03:46:39.540 --> 03:46:43.620
Yeah, the battery life is so good though.

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.

03:46:47.380 --> 03:46:48.660
Like, it's crazy.

03:46:50.740 --> 03:46:54.100
I'm at 50, started at 90. Yeah, you're at 36.

03:46:54.100 --> 03:46:58.100
Like, dude, this thing is nuts. I don't even think about charging it really.

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.

03:47:03.860 --> 03:47:06.660
Yeah, it's awesome. Sorry, I just saw a weird message on my phone.

03:47:08.580 --> 03:47:10.340
This isn't a weird message, but this is a...

03:47:14.580 --> 03:47:15.300
Weird dude.

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,

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.

03:47:31.060 --> 03:47:34.580
Yeah. Yeah, that would be good.

03:47:39.540 --> 03:47:42.420
Cool. Have you guys been on a cruise before?

03:47:42.900 --> 03:47:45.940
There are Alaska ones that leave out of Vancouver.

03:47:45.940 --> 03:47:49.780
My wife gets motion sick. Not a lot of Canadians are very motivated

03:47:49.780 --> 03:47:54.260
to go to America right now. I wasn't going to bring that up, but okay.

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,

03:47:59.700 --> 03:48:00.580
either. Oh, okay.

03:48:02.980 --> 03:48:07.780
Sounds good. How will we know when the winners are picked for the ROG upgrade contest?

03:48:07.780 --> 03:48:10.260
We want to build. We'll contact. What? We'll contact you.

03:48:10.820 --> 03:48:13.940
Should be pretty soon. I think Elijah was looking through them earlier this week.

03:48:13.940 --> 03:48:17.780
In fact, if you haven't been contacted for an interview already, you're out.

03:48:17.780 --> 03:48:21.220
I think. He thinks. I think. I don't know that for sure, though.

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,

03:48:27.300 --> 03:48:30.340
quick question for Luke. Are you still planning on attending OpenSauce?

03:48:30.340 --> 03:48:33.300
Abs of freaking Lulie. I will be there.

03:48:36.900 --> 03:48:40.820
Is that all I got? We'll see you again next week.

03:48:41.460 --> 03:48:44.660
Same bad time. Same bad channel. Bye.

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.

03:48:53.060 --> 03:48:55.140
I'm going to say, I think it's almost a four hour show.

03:48:58.980 --> 03:49:00.740
Any other type of connections? Yeah, I did last week.

03:49:03.700 --> 03:49:06.280
Cool, guys. What's cool? Cool.

03:49:06.980 --> 03:49:07.480
Great.
